MRS, GRUNDY'S JOTTINGS.
MRS, GRUNDY'S JOTTINGS. In the House of Lords last Friday, the Barry Railway Bill was read a third time. ft The Manchester Unity of Oddfellows has a membership of over a million, with a total capital of considerably over eleven millions. At a meeting held last Sunday at Cardiff of the South Wales and Monmouthshire District Council of the National Union of Shop Assistants, Lord Avebury's Early Closing Bill was unanimously voted as being of no value. In our report of the address on "Passive Resistance delivered to the Barry Free Church Council by the Rev. G. Cooper Hawken, Cardiff,last week, the rev. gentleman called upon the Non- conformists of Barry to fight for their liberties as their forefathers did during the reign of the Stewarts. This to the ordinary reader was obviously a misprint. It should, of course, have been during the reign of the Stuarts." ( Speaking at the annual meeting of the National Vigilance Association, held last week in London, the Earl of Aberdeen, who presided, said this was a most truly patriotic movement; it was a religious work, not in the sense of representing any dis- tinctive creed, for it embraced believers of all creeds, and in this sense it was not only undenomi- national, but it was all denominational. The Right Rev the Lord Bishop of Rochester felt that the recent developments of the work had shown the good of having some organization which was ever watchful and ever ready to deal with a great moral interest; those who had experience in work in relation to public life would know what a remarkable thing this Association bad accomplished in the drawing together of the various countries of Europe for the suppression of the white slave traffic. A branch of the N.V.A. exists in the Barry district. it Mr Albert Spicer, ex-M.P. for Monmouth Boroughs, who laid the foundation stone of Windsor-road Congregational Church, Barry, last Wednesday week, was, on the following evening, entertained at a complimentary dinner given by the City of London Liberal Club upon his retire- ment from the chairmanship of the general com- mittee, and the toast of his health was proposed by Lord Rosebery. Writing to the Barry Dock News last Monday, from Newcastle-on-Tyne, Councillor A. T. White, Barry, stated that the weather in the North that day was very cold. " V Miss E. Price Hughes, of Barry, who has just returned from an educational tour around the world, has seen schools and studied school methods in at least thirty countries of the world. 9ft The delegates representing the South Wales and Monmouthshire District at the Biennial Conference of the United Ancient Order of Druids held at Newcastle-on-Tyne this week are P.D.P. W. T. Nicholls, Barry Island P.A. D. Williams, Barry P.D.P. A. Jacobs, Newport; P.A. W. Poyne, Cardiff and P.S. E. Emery. Bridgend. The Rev M. E. Sprent, a China missionary of more than twenty years, was one of the first Englishmen to travel home from the far East over the new Trans-Siberian Railway. The rev. gentle- man, who will be married next month, is a brother of M> R. A. Sprerift. the manager of the National Provincial Bauk, Barry Docks. I regret to learn that Mr Lewis Meredith, son of Mr Jenkin Meredith, Holton-road, Barry Docks, who recently emigrated, is lying ill from fever at Winnipeg, Canada, but the latest intelligence as to his condition was favourable. The crew of the Barry Lifeboat, the John Wesley," went for their quarterly practice cruise in the channel one afternoon last week. My little boy Tommy is suffering bad from 'skyatticker,' and can't go to school," was the excuse made by a parent for the non-attendance of her son at a meeting of the Barry Education Com- mittee last week. Another mother of one of these fond hopefuls said her child had a wandering mind, and fre- quently forgot to go to school. It is proposed to hold an eisteddfod on Barry Island in support of the local fund in connection with the National Memorial of the late Dr Parry, and the co-operation of several prominent choirs is being invited. It is estimated that the profits of the Barry Railway Company for the outgoing half-year will be sufficient to pay a dividend of 81 per cent. per 2 annum. Alderman J. C. Meggitt, in introducing Mr Albert Spicer, J.P., London, on the occasion of laying the foundation stone of Windsor road English Congregational Church, Barry, last week, said Mr Spicer consented to perform the function on condition that the unnecessary cost of prodding a silver trowel would not be entailed. His Grajo the Archbishop Mar Timotheus, who ordained Father Ignatius to the priesthood, påid a holiday visit to Barry during the past few days. It is not generally known by the public of the Cadoxton end of the Barry district that the last train from Barry (11.30 p.m.) to Cardiff, and the midnight train from Cardiff to Barry, now stop regularly at Cadoxton Station. There will be no alteration in the Barry or Vale of Glamorgan Company's trains for the ensuing month, # It is anticipated that the name of a Labour candidate for South Glamorgan will be announced in a few weeks. 3c Last Wednesday was the two hundredth anniver- sary of the birth of John Wesley, the founder of Wesleyan Methodism. The two men, Moffatt and Graham, who were arrested in London on suspicion of having com- mitted the recent burglary at the shop of Mr H. B. Crouch, jeweller, &c., Cardiff, paid a visit to Barry a day or two before making the haul at Cardiff, and it was as the result of information supplied by the police at the Central Police Station, Barry Docks, that they were suspected and their arrest effected. The traffic receipts of the Barry Railway, including the Vale of Glamorgan Railway, last week amounted to :£11,309, a decrease, compared with the corresponding period of last year, of £ 1.449 aggregate increase, £ 3,917. Sully Island is now being utilised as a breeding- ground for wild birds which frequent the British coasts, as well as for the rearing of a particular breed of white rabbits. Mrs Ogleby Davies, of Stanley House, Tredegarville, has this week sent a donation of j620 towards the £1,300 required for the new Voluntary Hospital at Barry Docks. Lady Eva Wyndham-Quin opened a Welsh National Bazaar in London last Wednesday for the benefit of the Welsh Church of St. Mary, Camber- well.
-.--"':-------ARTILLERY CHURCH…
ARTILLERY CHURCH PARADE AT BARRY. PRESENTATION OF SOUTH AFRICAN MEDALS. The 2nd Glamorgan Royal Garrison Artillery (Volunteers), Cardiff, Penarth, and Barry Com- panies, held a church parade on Sunday morning last, attending divine service at St. Paul's Church, Barry. The weather was of a threatening character, but notwithstanding this drawback there was an exceedingly good muster of both officers and men, this annual parade at Barry being always a popular one. This year special interest attached to the parade, on account of the movement which is on foot to form two additional companies at Barry, and a larger number than usual, rank and file, turned out on the present occasion. The Church was crowded, and the Regimental Band, under the conductorship of Mr W. A. J. Kelly, played Maseagrii's Intermezzo as a processional voluntary, and Viviani's Silver Trumpets" as a recessional. The band also accompanied the organist in the special hymns sung on the occasion. The service was conducted by the Rev D. Weafcherill, rector of Merthyr Dovan; Colonel H. O. Fisher reading the first lesson. The Rector was the preacher, the sermon being particularly appropriate to the occasion. The march from Church to the new Drill Hall at Barry Dock after the service was unfortunately somewhat marred by the rain. Previous to the service an interesting ceremony was performed, Gunners Hull and Palfrey, R. A., of the Lavernock and Barry Island Batteries, being presented by Colonel Hopkins, R.A., the venerable commandant of the Severn and Western Division Forces, with the South African war medals, and in doing so the gallant officer suitably addressed the men, and dwelt upon the readiness and gallantry with which all branches of her late Majesty's services res- ponded to the call of duty when the emergency arose. The muster on the occasion numbered over 200 rank and file, and consisted of 170 members of the Cardiff companies, 60 of the Penarth companies, and 80 of the No. 11 Co. (Barry). The officers on parade were Colonel Hopkins, R.A., Colonel Fisher (the commanding officer of the Regiment), Captain Wilkins, R.A. (adjutant 2nd G.V.A.), Lieut. Fellows (adjutant of the Mi itia and Artillery Volunteers), Captain Brndley, Captain CèadleH. Hoyle (command- ing the No. 11 Co.), and Lient. Carey Thomas. Regimental Sergeant-Major Atkins, R.A., and C.M.S. Cahill (vardiff), Dawe (Penarth), and Meader (Barry). were also in attendance. On arrival at the Drill Hall, where the companies were dismissed, refreshments were supplied to the non- commissioned officers and men at the kind invitation of the officers. The Rev D. Weatherill preached from Ephesians vi.. 12, and pointed out that St. Paul, writing from Rome saw arrayed nst Christianity all the might and power of the Roman Empire. What was it that he feared for his converts? Not the power of the Roman fleet, sweeping the Danube and the Mediterranean not the victorious legions, with their eagle standards guarding the frontiers of the Empire on the hills not the priesthood, nor the senate, nor the law; nor the emperor to whose sword St. Paul himself wyuld fall a victim. We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, the powers, the rulers of the dark- ness of this world, the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places." It was against these, the spiritual foes, that St. Paul directed them to put on tlie whole armour of God. Against these beings, higher than man, the nine choirs of angels, arranged in order on the earth by their prince Lucifer, the prince of this world. A chain, said the preacher, is as strong as its weakest link. therefore it behoved each one of his hearers to be so efficient, so perfected, that in the hour of danger he would not fail. But was each one doing his duty against that other foe ? Could he stand the sneer, the laugh, the coarse banter, in the workshop, in the street, in the home! Could he say'"No" when others said '• Yes 1 Tlii- required a greater courage than to rush to death in the excitement of the battlefield. Let each one ask himself, "Am I striving, as Christ's faithful soldier, and servant, against the world, the flesh, and the devil ?

-------BARRY TEMPERANCE CHOIR.
BARRY TEMPERANCE CHOIR. At a meeting of the committee of the Barry Temperance Choir, held on Saturday last, a resolu- tion was passed that for ebo future the Temperance Choir would be prepared to assist all united Temperance meetings held in the district more vigorously than hitherto, and will use every effort to make the musical part of such meetings attractive. The choir intends to proceed to London on July 18th, not to compete, but to take part in the annual Temperance Festival of 5,000 voices held at the Crystal Palace. Persons wishing to join are invited to apply to fchehon. secretary, Mr A. Williams, 111. Holton-road, Barry Docks.
LOCAL CRICKET.
LOCAL CRICKET. DINAS POWIS v. CARDIFF COMMERCIAL TRAVELLERS. Played at Dinas Powis Common on Saturday afternoon last under unfavourable climatic con- ditions, which were more suited toagame of football than cricket. The visitors, having won the toss, elected to bat first on a wicket rendered slow by the recent rainfalls. Commencing their innings in a sensational manner, by losing two wickets for seven runs, the Travellers improved their position upon Bouchier and Lock becoming associated, and by forcing tactics the score r01e rapidly. However, after 18 runs had been added, Bouchier was out to a well-judged catch by D. Wakeford at square-leg after compiling a useful 14. Dodds next joined Lock (who should have been stumped twice off Black), and assisted to add 14 runs for the fourth wicket, Black being successful in an appeal for l.b.w. against Dodds bringing about a separation. A. Tarrant was Lock's next partner, but a heavy shower of rain caused a temporary delay, and players had to seek shelter for quarter-of-an-hour. On resumption of play the home-bowlers experienced some difficulty in obtaining foothold on the sodden pitch, and in consequence several loose balls were delivered for a few overs. After contributing 27 runs by free hitting, Lock's innings closed by a brilliant catch by Wakeford at square-leg, the partnership with Farrant producing 20 runs. The remaining three wickets which fell gave little trouble, and the innings was declared closed with eight wickets down, and the score-sheet indicating 75 runs. The homesters had 45 minutes batting, during which time 55 runs were scored for the loss of only two wickets, Vazie Simons and H. Hatch being out, the former shaping well considering it was his first game for some time, and will prove a good asset to the villagers. Percy Vivian and D. Wakeford played out time, and brought the score from 19 to 55 runs. Vivian was in great form, and gave a splendid dis- play of batting on a bowlers' wicket, and made some good strokes in his score of 32 not out. Wakeford, too, maintained his form of Saturday week, and one regretted that time did not allow to finish the match. Wakeford's 14 not out included two fours, which speaks well for his hitting powers. The match, therefore, ended in a draw, greatly in favour ef the villagers. Scores and analysis :— COMMERCIAL TRAVELLERS. W. Kitley, c and b Collins 1 A. A. Stewart. c James, b Vivian 0 C. A.

ATHLETIC CHATTER.

When I set out to find the best breweries near me, I knew that I had to have a plan of action. Simply deciding to find a great brewery and actually making it happen are two very different things, so I knew I had to take the time to make sure I knew where to start. More importantly, I also knew I had to have some sort of endgame. It would make no sense to start off on a journey of discovery but not define what exactly I was trying to find.
I'd be lying to you if I didn't admit that it all sounds a bit more complicated than you'd expect. Complexity aside, I knew that if I didn't take this seriously, I'd very well end up with nothing to show for my efforts. Breweries are actually becoming more common nowadays, and given the market share of craft beer versus the old guard of beer makers, it's no real shock that more than a few folks would try their luck at making beer. This made me feel a little better in my endeavor to find the best breweries in my area.
Online Work - Let the internet work for you. Any business trying to succeed in this day and age has to have a strong presence on the internet, and breweries are no different. Social media, official sites, and online reviews are all great resources when trying to narrow down your choices. It's also important to remember you can tap into (ha!) specialized websites & online forums dedicated to visitors sharing information about the beers they've tried and the breweries they've frequented.
Inquiries at Specialty Stores - There are actually massive superstores dedicated to beer, wine, and spirits. Perhaps the best part about these stores, aside from the massive selection, is the experts that work there. They are invaluable resources you should use in your search for breweries worth checking out.
Chance Visits to Some Breweries (if possible) - The most important thing I learned was that not all breweries allow visitors. While some have developed their business model around tours & visitors, others have chosen not to do so. It's not a deal-breaker, but it does make you have to think a little harder about how you assess the breweries you've chosen.
Here's hoping that when you start wondering, 'I wonder where the best breweries near me are', you find what you're looking for. Not only did I find the best, but my best actually turned out to be a dine-in theater (others call them movie grills). Not only is the beer that's made on-site stellar, but I can actually order a drink and amazing food (and get service) while watching a movie. Let's hope your own search pays off just as well.
For the best of all breweries near me in Chandler , look no further than Flix Brewhouse!

I noticed google chrome allowing the download of an mp3 file [pop.mp3].
I checked the folder if it really downloaded the file and it did.
I wasn't able to check it if it was a virus though. deleted it right away.
If it happens again, i'll check if it was a virus or something else.
It probably has something to do with embeds..can't say for sure though never had it happen.
MP3s do not contain executable code, so a virus being in one is very unlikely, and only possible by buffer overflowing in a specific player (would not be able to target multiple players unless they used the same engine).

COVID-19 lawsuit takes on McDonald's like it was a rowdy bar
By Tom Hals
(Reuters) – As U.S. businesses reopen, worried workers and their advocates are borrowing a legal strategy commonly used to shut down rowdy topless bars to try and force employers to strengthen protection against further spread of the coronavirus.
Workers and their families at McDonald's Corp's Chicago restaurants have filed a class-action lawsuit against the fast-food chain that does not seek money for sick staff, but compliance with health guidance such as providing clean face masks.
The strategy was unsuccessful against a meatpacking plant but experts said it could work against McDonald's and other companies, and a business group warned about a flood of cases.
"The damage done by inadequate safety practices is not confined to the walls of a restaurant but instead has broader public health consequences," Tuesday's lawsuit said.
Like an April lawsuit against a meatpacking plant, the case targets McDonald's as a public nuisance, a legal strategy previously used to shutter strip clubs and the famed Limelight nightclub in Manhattan.
Typically, workplace safety is a matter for the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), which has the authority to inspect businesses and issue citations. By focusing on community health, the lawsuit attempts to move outside OSHA's jurisdiction and into the courts.
McDonald's workers around the country have protested and demanded safety gear.
In Chicago, workers filed at least four complaints with OSHA, but the agency declined to inspect work sites, according to the lawsuit.
OSHA did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Unions have criticized the agency for lax enforcement and failing to issue mandatory standards for businesses to stem the spread of COVID-19.
"When you don't have an assertive OSHA you get these creative approaches," said Michael Duff, a professor at the University of Wyoming College of Law.
McDonald's called the allegations inaccurate. The company criticized the SEIU service union that is supporting the plaintiffs and said the chain has issued a 59-page guide its restaurants must follow to protect staff and customers.
The Fight for $15 group, which campaigns to raise the U.S. minimum wage to $15 an hour, is also helping the workers.
OSHA has said it is investigating thousands of complaints nationwide and that flexible guidance is better than rigid standards.
The public nuisance doctrine stems from medieval England, where it was used to promote safer roads and to fight infectious diseases.
To prevail, plaintiffs must prove a defendant interfered with public good, like the community's health. Unlike a typical lawsuit, it does not generally require proof that the defendant directly injured someone.
Rather than prove someone was infected with the coronavirus at McDonald's, the workers must instead show the company created an unsafe workplace that posed an imminent threat of contributing to its spread.
A similar public nuisance lawsuit filed in April against a Smithfield Foods Inc meat processing plant in Missouri was dismissed because the judge said workplace safety was a matter for OSHA.
But Smithfield was already being investigated by OSHA and unlike McDonald's, there were no confirmed COVID-19 cases in the Missouri plant.
The Institute for Legal Reform, an affiliate of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce business group, has warned the pandemic could prompt a flood of "abusive" lawsuits, and cited the McDonald's public nuisance case in a call with reporters this week.
"The danger is one case survives and like moths to light you'll see cases all over the place," said Michelle Richards, a law professor at the University of Detroit Mercy.
Richard Ausness, a professor at the University of Kentucky College of Law, downplayed the risk of a flood of cases, but said the mere filing of such a lawsuit could push a business to help its workers.
"Who wants to be accused of maintaining a public nuisance? It just sounds awful," he said.

Exclusive: For migrant youths claiming abuse, U.S. protection can be elusive
By Mica Rosenberg
NEW YORK (Reuters) – Growing up in eastern Honduras, Jose said his father would get drunk and beat him with a horse whip and the flat side of a machete. He said he watched his father, a coffee farmer whose crops succumbed to plague, hit his mother on the head with a pistol, sending her to the hospital for three days from the abuse.
At 17, Jose said, he hired a coyote to ferry him to the United States, seeking to escape his home life and violent feuding among his relatives, as well as seek better opportunities for himself and his siblings. He was picked up by border agents, then released pending deportation proceedings.
After struggling to get a good lawyer, Jose applied at 19 for special protection under a program for young immigrants subjected to childhood mistreatment including abuse, neglect or abandonment.
But like a growing number of applicants, his petition hit a series of hurdles, then was denied. Now he is appealing.
"It's like being stuck not going forward or backwards," said Jose, now 22 and living in New York. He spoke on condition his last name not be used because he is working without a permit and does not want to jeopardize his appeal. "You can't advance in life," he said.
As President Donald Trump vociferously pushes for a physical barrier across the country's southern border, young people claiming to be eligible for protection under the Special Immigrant Juvenile (SIJ) program increasingly face a less publicized barrier: heightened demands for paperwork.
Data obtained by Reuters under the Freedom of Information Act show that the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has recently ramped up demands for additional documents through "Requests for Evidence" and "Notices of Intent to Deny," which can tie up cases for months.
The program allows immigrants under 21 to apply for permanent residency in the United States if a state court determines that they need protection and that returning to their home countries would be unsafe. Since 2010, about 54,000 applications have been approved.
In fiscal year 2016, before Trump took office, USCIS issued 347 "Requests for Evidence," the data show. A year later, the agency issued 4,153, while the overall number of new applications rose only slightly.
"Notices of Intent to Deny," one of the last opportunities to submit additional information before a petition is rejected, doubled in fiscal year to 767 in 2017 compared to fiscal 2016.
Meanwhile, approvals of special immigrant juvenile status petitions dropped by nearly 60 percent in the 2018 fiscal year compared to a year earlier, to 4,712, while denials increased more than 88 percent, according to federal data.
USCIS Spokesman Michael Bars said in a statement that the agency evaluates every petition case by case and that requesting additional evidence "cut down on frivolous petitions and applications, reduce waste, and help to improve the integrity and efficiency of the immigration petition process."
Immigrant advocates and attorneys have turned to the special protection program as one avenue to offer young migrants who had come from violent pasts a path to legal residency in the United States. Some apply for asylum at the same time.
But for years critics have seen the youth program and other forms of legal relief for Central Americans, including some asylum protections, as "loopholes" that are too permissive and end up encouraging more migration.
It's "shockingly easy for any minor that is represented by a lawyer to meet the requirements of the law regardless of whether they have been abused, neglected and abandoned," said Jessica Vaughan from the Center for Immigration Studies, which supports increased immigration restrictions.
'LOW-HANGING FRUIT'
Migrant attorneys say the administration is using an administrative back door to curb the program. They say many of the requests for additional evidence are technical – requiring proof, for instance, that a state court's order was issued according to that state's law.
These advocates say a large chunk of cases being challenged by the Trump administration are those like Jose's, in which applicants applied between the ages of 18 and 21, and in which the government has challenged the jurisdiction of state family courts in the proceedings.
Immigration rights groups have sued the government in California, New York and Washington state over what they say are blanket denials of petitions from that older group. In the California suit, a judge in February issued a preliminary ruling against the administration, saying state courts do have jurisdiction. A ruling is expected soon in New York, and the Washington suit was just filed Tuesday.
"These post-18 cases are the low-hanging fruit," said Maria Odom, the former independent ombudsman for USCIS under President Barack Obama. "This is just one piece of (the administration's) overall plan to destroy protections for unaccompanied minors to try to stop the flow."
Rich Leimsider, Executive Director of Safe Passage Project speaks during an interview with Reuters at his office in New York, U.S., February 21, 2019. REUTERS/Eduardo Munoz
MISSION CREEP?
Underlying these disputes is a conflict over the purpose of the 1990 law authorizing the youth protection program.
The law was passed in response to growing concerns about foreign children becoming homeless or orphaned in the United States because of abandonment or abusive family situations. Eligibility was expanded in 2008 under a U.S. anti-human trafficking law to include kids abandoned by just one parent even if they were being cared for by the other.
Applications ballooned during the Obama administration following a surge in unaccompanied minors crossing the U.S.-Mexico border, many from violent countries in Central America.
The government received 1,646 applications for the status in fiscal year 2010; in 2018, the number of applications jumped more than thirteenfold.
"This is not what the original law anticipated," said Vaughan from the Center for Immigration Studies. "It was meant for kids who were trafficked."
By statute, USCIS is supposed to process applications in six months, but Randi Mandelbaum, who runs a legal clinic at Rutgers Law School that serves immigrant foster kids, said she is handling a dozen cases that have been pending longer than a year. The delays can be painful, she said.
Young people "are already very vulnerable and now they can't move on," Mandelbaum said. "Their lives are on hold."

U.S. judge orders federal protection restored to Yellowstone grizzlies
By Laura Zuckerman
PINEDALE, Wyo. (Reuters) – A federal judge on Monday ordered Endangered Species Act protections restored to grizzlies in and around Yellowstone National Park, halting plans for the first licensed trophy hunts of the bears in the region in more than 40 years.
U.S. District Judge Dana Christensen in Missoula, Montana, sided with environmentalists and native American groups by overruling the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service decision to strip the grizzlies of their status as a threatened species.
The outcome caps one of the most high-profile legal battles over the Endangered Species Act in many years, rivaling previous disputes surrounding the gray wolf and northern spotted owl.
The ruling came as the Trump administration is seeking to rewrite Endangered Species Act regulations that scientists say would erode wildlife protection for the benefit of commercial interests.
The Trump administration's decision in June of last year to "de-list" the grizzly, formally proposed in 2016 during the Obama era, was based on agency findings that the bears' numbers had rebounded enough in recent decades that federal safeguards were no longer necessary.
The de-listing, welcomed by big-game hunters and cattlemen, had applied to about 700 Yellowstone-area grizzlies in Wyoming, Idaho and Montana.
Environmentalists countered that treating those bears separately from other grizzly populations in Montana and elsewhere in the Lower 48 states was biologically unsound and illegal under the Endangered Species Act, and the judge agreed.
Grizzlies, which are slow to reproduce, number fewer than 2,000 bears across the Lower 48. That is far below an historic high of 100,000 before widespread shooting, poisoning and trapping reduced the bears' population to just several hundred by 1975, when they were placed under federal protection.
Environmentalists have said that while grizzlies have made a comeback, their recovery could falter without continued federal safeguards. They point to, among other things, alterations in the bears' food supply from climate change and human threats posed by poachers and road traffic.
JUDGE FINDS REASONING 'ILLOGICAL'
Christensen found that the Fish and Wildlife Service had failed to apply the best available science, as required under the law, in evaluating continued threats to grizzly populations, including limitations in its genetic diversity.
The judge pointed to two studies cited by the agency that he said actually contradicted the government's own conclusions that the Yellowstone grizzlies could remain genetically self-sufficient. In his 47-page opinion, Christensen called the agency's reasoning "illogical."
The judge's ruling makes permanent a court order barring Wyoming and Idaho from going ahead with plans to open grizzly hunting seasons allowing as many as 23 bears in the two states to be shot and killed for sport outside of Yellowstone park. The season had been set to begin on Sept. 1.
U.S. law prohibits hunting altogether inside the park, and Montana had decided against a grizzly hunt, citing its concerns about long-term recovery of a bear population that is arguably one of the most celebrated and photographed in the world.
Native American tribes, which revere the grizzly as sacred, sought reinstatement of its threatened status as essential to protecting their religious practices.
Ranchers, who make up a powerful political constituency in Western states, have strongly advocated de-listing grizzlies, arguing the bears' growing numbers pose a threat to humans and livestock. Agitation for state management of the bears also came from hunters, who highly prize them as trophy animals.
The judge said he discounted such factors.
"This case is not about the ethics of hunting and it is not about solving human- or livestock-grizzly conflicts as a practical or philosophical matter," he wrote. Instead, it turned strictly on his determination that the Fish and Wildlife Service had exceeded its authority.
The agency said it stood by its de-listing action, adding the was reviewing the ruling and "considering next steps."
Wyoming Governor Matt Mead, a staunch critic of the Endangered Species Act, said he was "disappointed" by Monday's decision, citing $50 million he said his state had spent on grizzly management over the past 15 years.

South Syrian rebels lay down arms as Assad seizes crossing
AMMAN/BEIRUT (Reuters) – South Syrian rebels said they had agreed on Friday to lay down arms in a Russian-brokered deal that appeared to surrender Deraa province to the government in another major victory for President Bashar al-Assad.
The Syrian government recovered the crucial Nassib border crossing with Jordan, held by rebels for three years, state media reported, after a fierce assault in insurgent territory along the frontier backed by Russian air strikes.
Deraa province encompasses most of the area held by rebels in the southwest, one of their last remaining strongholds in Syria. Assad is also aiming to recover control of rebel-held areas of Quneitra province at the frontier with the Israei-occupied Golan Heights.
Government advances in Deraa in a two-week offensive had brought large parts of the province back under state control and caused a massive rapid human exodus as hundreds of thousands of people fled.
Rebel sources said the deal brokered by Russia would allow civilians to return to their villages and towns with Russia guaranteeing their protection.
Russian guarantees will also be extended to rebel fighters who wish to "settle their status" with the government – a process by which former insurgents accept to live under state rule again, the sources said.
Rebels who did not wish to come back under Assad's rule would leave for the insurgent stronghold in northwest Syria, they said.
Several witnesses along the Jordan border fence with Syria said they spotted armored vehicles and a tank with a Russian flag heading to the Nassib crossing, an important trade artery.
A commander in a regional military alliance that backs Assad said an Israeli air strike had hit a Syrian village in Quneitra on Friday, causing no casualties. Israel's military said it had hit a Syrian army post in that area.

U.S. officials warn Congress on risks of drones, seek new powers
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The Trump administration urged Congress on Wednesday to give it new powers to disable or destroy threatening drones, according to testimony viewed by Reuters.
David Glawe, undersecretary for intelligence and analysis at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and Hayley Chang, DHS' deputy general counsel, told the Senate committee that oversees the department that it needs new authority.
"Terrorist groups overseas use drones to conduct attacks on the battlefield and continue to plot to use them in terrorist attacks elsewhere. This is a very serious, looming threat that we are currently unprepared to confront," the officials' written testimony said.
A bipartisan group of senators including Senate Homeland Security Committee Chairman Ron Johnson, a Republican, and the committee's top Democrat, Claire McCaskill, last month introduced legislation to give DHS and the Justice Department authority to "to protect buildings and assets when there is an unacceptable security risk to public safety posed by an unmanned aircraft."
Johnson noted a bipartisan group of senators backs the legislation.
"The federal government does not have the legal authorities it needs to protect the American public from these kinds of threats. The threats posed by malicious drones are too great to ignore," Johnson said.
Johnson said the number of drone flights over sensitive areas or suspicious activities has jumped from eight incidents in 2013 to an estimated 1,752 incidents in 2016, citing federal statistics.
The American Civil Liberties Union said in a letter to the committee that it opposes the bill, which "amounts to an enormous unchecked grant of authority to the government to forcefully remove drones form the sky in nebulous security circumstances."
FBI deputy assistant director Scott Brunner told the committee the agency is "concerned that criminals and terrorists will exploit (drones) in ways that pose a serious threat to the safety of the American people."
Threats could include surveillance, chemical, biological or radiological attacks or attacks "on large open air venues" like concerts and sporting events and attacks against government facilities, he said.
The DHS testimony noted a number of recent incidents involving drones.
In March, a Coast Guard helicopter in California was forced to take evasive action to avoid a drone. A drone recently landed on the deck of the Coast Guard Cutter Sea Lion in San Diego harbor.
DHS said despite upgraded security efforts in U.S. capital area, "we are still experiencing (drone) incidents … that require an appropriate response – even if they are nuisance or non-compliant operators who disregard the rules."
In 2017, a small civilian drone struck a U.S. Army helicopter near New York City damaging a rotor blade. Since 2017, federal officials have banned drones over U.S. military bases, national landmarks, nuclear sites and other sensitive areas.
The Federal Aviation Administration said in January that more than 1 million drones have been registered. In May, the U.S. Department of Transportation picked 10 pilot projects allowing drone use at night, out of sight operations and over populated areas.

Trump Jr.'s wife hospitalized after suspicious powder scare: police
By Jonathan Allen and Peter Szekely
NEW YORK (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump's daughter-in-law Vanessa Trump was taken to a New York hospital on Monday after she opened a piece of mail containing an unidentified white powder that was later determined to be non-hazardous, officials said.
Vanessa Trump, the wife of the president's eldest son Donald Jr., was hospitalized after she complained of nausea following her exposure, New York officials said. Two other people who were present were also taken to the hospital.
"The substance had arrived by mail and it was addressed to Donald Trump Jr.," said New York Police Department spokesman Carlos Nieves.
U.S. authorities have been on alert for mail containing white powder since 2001, when envelopes laced with anthrax were sent to media outlets and U.S. lawmakers, killing five people.
Three patients from the household were transported to the NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center for further evaluation, said Fire Department spokeswoman Sophia Kim.
The three included Vanessa Trump's mother, although she had not complained of symptoms, the police spokesman said.
The package had a Boston postmark, ABC News and the New York Post reported, citing unnamed law enforcement sources. NYPD officials declined to comment on that detail.
"Thankful that Vanessa and my children are safe and unharmed after the incredibly scary situation that occurred this morning," Trump Jr. said on Twitter. "Truly disgusting that certain individuals choose to express their opposing views with such disturbing behavior."
The U.S. Secret Service, which is charged with protecting members of the president's family, confirmed it was involved in the investigation, said spokesman Jeffrey Adams.
Trump Jr. in September briefly gave up his Secret Service protection, normally provided to the immediate families of all sitting presidents, the New York Times reported at the time, citing unnamed administration officials. His protective detail was restored after about a week, CNN reported, also citing unnamed sources.
Trump Jr. has been in the public eye for his role in a 2016 meeting in Trump Tower with a Russian attorney and others after the Trump campaign was offered potentially damaging information about Democratic rival Hillary Clinton.
Congress has held probes into that meeting and whether it was part of a Russian campaign to influence the 2016 U.S. presidential election.
Russia denies trying to influence the election. Trump dismisses any talk of collusion.
In 2016, white powder, which also proved harmless, was sent to the home of Eric Trump, Trump Jr.'s brother.

Residents shield Christians in bold exodus from Philippines city
By Tom Allard
MARAWI CITY, Philippines (Reuters) – More than 160 civilians walked out of the besieged Philippines city of Marawi just after dawn on Saturday, deceiving Islamist fighters they encountered by hiding the identity of the many Christians among them.
The audacious exodus came after text message warnings that a major assault by Philippines aircraft and ground troops was imminent in the center of the southern city, where some 250 militants and more than 2,000 civilians remain trapped.
"We saved ourselves," said Norodin Alonto Lucman, a well-known former politician and traditional clan leader who sheltered 71 people, including more than 50 Christians, in his home during the battle that erupted on May 23 in the town of more than 200,000 on the southern island of Mindanao.
"There's this plan to bomb the whole city if ISIS don't agree to the demands of the government," he said, referring to local and foreign fighters who have sworn allegiance to the ultra-radical Islamic State.
Many evacuees told Reuters they had received text messages warning of a bombing campaign.
"We had a tip from the general commander that we should go out," said Leny Paccon, who gave refuge to 54 people in her home, including 44 Christians. "When I got the text, immediately we go out … about 7 o'clock."
By then, Lucman and his guests had begun their escape march from another area, holding white flags and moving briskly.
"As we walked, others joined us," he told reporters. "We had to pass through a lot of [militant] snipers."
Some of the civilians were stopped and asked if there were any Christians among them, said Jaime Daligdig, a Christian construction worker.
"We shouted 'Allahu akbar'," he told Reuters, adding that thanks to that Muslim rallying cry they were allowed to pass.
Those who fled included teachers from Dansalan College, a protestant school torched on the first day of the battle.
Christians have been killed and taken hostage by the militants, a mix of local fighters from the Maute Group and other Islamist outfits, as well as foreigners who joined the cause under the Islamic State banner.
The vast majority of Filipinos are Christian, but Mindanao has a larger proportion of Muslims and Islam is followed by the vast majority in Marawi City.
ROTTING BODIES, DEBRIS
Lucman said that many of those trapped were on the verge of starvation, which also gave them the courage to leave.
He described a scene of devastation in the town center, where the streets were strewn with rotting bodies and debris. "I almost puked as we were walking," Lucman said, estimating that there were more than 1,000 dead.
Official government estimates recorded 120 militants, 38 government forces and 20 civilians as dead on Saturday.
Lucman and Paccon said militants had knocked on their doors while they sheltered the terrified Christians. They shooed them away saying there were women and children inside.
Adding to the anxiety, both said they were within 100 meters (320 feet) of militant command posts. Although the Philippines military knew civilians remained in their homes, ordnance exploded nearby repeatedly over the past week.
Resident Asnaira Asis said militants knocked on her door too, offering money or food if she handed over her 11-year-old son. "They wanted him to be a fighter," she told Reuters after joining the morning exodus. "I said no."
After an impromptu ceasefire as the civilians evacuated, bombing and ground skirmishes continued on Saturday, and FA50 fighter jets dropped bombs on the town center.
Philippines Defence Secretary Delfin Lorenzana said the conflict would be over soon but he gave no operational plans. He said there were 250 militants still in the town, far more than the 20-30 cited by the military on Friday.
"They can still put up a good fight. That's why it's giving us difficulty in clearing the area," he told a news conference.
Lorenzana said there was still a big cohort of foreign fighters in Marawi.
Officials have said militants from as far away as Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Chechnya and Morocco joined the battle, raising concerns that Islamic State is seeking to establish a regional foothold there.

Pentagon to lease privately owned Trump Tower apartment for nuclear 'football': letter
By Mark Hosenball and Phil Stewart
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The U.S. Defense Department is finalizing a lease on a privately owned apartment in New York's Trump Tower for the White House Military Office to use for supporting President Donald Trump without providing any benefit to Trump or his organization, according to a Pentagon letter seen by Reuters.
The Military Office carries and safeguards the "football," the device that contains the top secret launch codes the president needs to order a nuclear attack, as well as providing him secure communications wherever he is.
The White House, Secret Service, and Defense Department had no comment on whether similar arrangements have been made at other properties Trump frequents – Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida and the Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey, where Trump is spending this weekend.
In a letter to Representative Jackie Speier, a Democrat on the House Armed Services and intelligence committees, Defense Department official James MacStravic, said the apartment is "privately owned and … lease negotiations have been with the owner's representatives only."
MacStravic, who wrote that he was "temporarily performing the duties of the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics," said any acquisition of leased space with "an annual rental in excess of $1 million must first be approved by my office."
He "approved this action" after consulting with the White House Military Office and other officials, he said.
Officials declined to reveal the cost of the lease or identify the owners of the apartment.
MacStravic's letter, dated March 3, added: "We are not aware of any means through which the President would personally benefit from a Government lease of this space."
The letter explained that the White House Military Office, a Pentagon unit, "requested approval to lease space in the Trump Tower for personnel assigned to support the President when at his private residence."
The letter said such arrangements are "typical of support provided" by the Military Office to previous U.S. presidents and vice presidents at their private residences. It is not clear, however, whether the office has ever paid to rent space to house the classified equipment presidents need when they are staying at homes they own outside Washington.
A White House spokeswoman said the White House had no information on the leasing issue. The Defense Department and U.S. Secret Service declined to comment.
The Trump Organization did not reply to an email requesting comment.
When the Pentagon in February first acknowledged that it was seeking to lease space in Trump Tower, some Democrats questioned whether such a move would produce a financial windfall for Trump.
"I am concerned by the appearance that the President of the United States will financially benefit from this deal at the expense of the Department of Defense – and ultimately, taxpayers," Speier wrote to Defense Secretary James Mattis shortly after the Trump Tower issue became public in February.
By negotiating only with representatives of the owners of a private apartment, the Pentagon said it was seeking to avoid such concerns.

Trump states Saudis not paying fair share for U.S. defense
By Stephen J. Adler, Jeff Mason and Steve Holland
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – President Donald Trump complained on Thursday that U.S. ally Saudi Arabia was not treating the United States fairly and Washington was losing a "tremendous amount of money" defending the kingdom.
In an interview with Reuters, Trump confirmed his administration was in talks about possible visits to Saudi Arabia and Israel in the second half of May. He is due to make his first trip abroad as president for a May 25 NATO summit in Brussels and could add other stops.
"Frankly, Saudi Arabia has not treated us fairly, because we are losing a tremendous amount of money in defending Saudi Arabia," he said.
Trump's criticism of Riyadh was a return to his 2016 election campaign rhetoric when he accused the kingdom of not pulling its weight in paying for the U.S. security umbrella.
"Nobody's going to mess with Saudi Arabia because we're watching them," Trump told a campaign rally in Wisconsin a year ago. "They're not paying us a fair price. We're losing our shirt."
The United States is the main supplier for most Saudi military needs, from F-15 fighters to control and command systems worth tens of billions of dollars in recent years, while American contractors win major energy deals.
The world's top oil exporter and its biggest consumer have enjoyed close economic ties for decades, with U.S. firms building much of the infrastructure of the modern Saudi state after its oil boom in the 1970s.
Saudi officials could not immediately be reached for comment on Trump's latest comments.
But Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir rejected similar comments from Trump during his election campaign, telling CNN during a visit to Washington last July that the Islamic kingdom "carries its own weight" as an ally.
Saudi Arabia's powerful deputy crown prince Mohammed bin Salman met with Trump last month in a meeting that was hailed by a senior Saudi adviser as a "historical turning point" in relations. The talks appeared to signal a meeting of minds on many issues, including their shared view that Iran posed a regional security threat.
Riyadh and other Gulf allies see in Trump a strong president who will shore up Washington's role as their main strategic partner and help contain Riyadh's adversary Iran in a region central to U.S. security and energy interests, regional analysts said.
ISLAMIC STATE "HUMILIATION"
Asked about the fight against Islamic State, which Saudi Arabia and other U.S. allies are confronting as a coalition, Trump said the militant group had to be defeated.
"I have to say, there is an end. And it has to be humiliation," Trump said, when asked about what the endgame was for defeating Islamist violent extremism.
"There is an end. Otherwise it's really tough. But there is an end," without detailing a strategy.
A visit to Israel would reciprocate a White House visit in February by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas is due to meet Trump next Wednesday in Washington.
Trump has set a more positive tone with Israel than his Democratic predecessor, Barack Obama, who often clashed with the right-wing Israeli leader, and has raised concerns among Palestinians that their leaders may not get equal treatment.
Trump has also asked Israel to put unspecified limits on its building of Jewish settlements on land the Palestinians want for a state, and has promised to seek a Middle East peace deal that eluded his predecessors. However, he has offered no new diplomatic prescriptions.
"I want to see peace with Israel and the Palestinians," he said. "There is no reason there's not peace between Israel and the Palestinians – none whatsoever."
Trump brushed aside a question of whether he might use a possible trip to Israel to declare U.S. recognition of the entire city of Jerusalem as Israel's capital, a reversal of longstanding U.S. foreign policy likely to draw international condemnation.
"Ask me in a month on that," he said, without elaborating.
If Trump ties an Israel visit to next month's Brussels trip, it would be around the time Israelis are celebrating the 50th anniversary of the reunification of Jerusalem, when Israel captured Arab East Jerusalem in the 1967 Middle East war.
Successive U.S. administrations as well as the international community have not recognized Israel's annexation of the eastern part of the city, and the future status of Jerusalem remains one of the thorniest issues in the Israeli-Palestinian dispute.
Israel claims all of Jerusalem, which contains sites sacred to the Jewish, Muslim and Christian faiths, as its capital. Palestinians want East Jerusalem as the capital of a future state of their own.

Trump administration sued over protection for vanishing bumble bee
(Reuters) – An environmental group sued U.S. President Donald Trump's administration on Tuesday for delaying a rule that would designate the rusty patched bumble bee as an endangered species.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, a branch of the Interior Department, in September proposed bringing the bee under federal safeguards.
The rule formalizing the listing of the vanishing pollinator, once widely found in the upper Midwest and Northeastern United States, was published in the Federal Register on Jan. 11 and was to take effect last Friday.
The Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) said the listing has been delayed until March 21 as part of a broader freeze ordered by Trump's White House on rules issued by the prior administration aimed at protecting public health and the environment.
The group argued in a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York that U.S. wildlife managers had violated the law by abruptly suspending the bumble bee listing without public notice or comment. They said the rule technically became final when it was published in the Federal Register.
The lawsuit seeks to have a judge declare that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service acted unlawfully and to order the agency to rescind the rule delaying the bumble bee's listing.
"The science is clear – this species is headed toward extinction, and soon. There is no legitimate reason to delay federal protections," Natural Resources Defense Council senior attorney Rebecca Riley said in a statement.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service could not immediately be reached for comment.
Bumble bees pollinate wildflowers and about a third of U.S. crops, from blueberries to tomatoes, according to the Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation.
The bee's population and range have declined by more than 90 percent since the late 1990s due to disease, pesticides, climate change and habitat loss, according to wildlife officials.
The insect is one of 47 varieties of native bumble bees in the United States and Canada, more than a quarter of which face the risk of extinction, according to the International Union for the Conservation of Nature.
In September, seven varieties of yellow-faced bees in Hawaii became the first such insects to be added to the U.S. list of endangered species because of losses due to habitat destruction, wildfires and the invasion of nonnative plants and insects.

Collaborations and other works on paper by Geraldine Berkemeier and Gary Shinfield. Sept – Oct 2011, Red Gallery, North Fitzroy VIC.
Shifting Ground, an exhibition by Geraldine Berkemeier and Gary Shinfield, consists of four large-scale collaborative works made by the artists, as well as individual works. These works employ various printmaking media – waterless lithography by Geraldine and woodcuts by Gary – and are printed on various handmade Chinese papers.
The collaborative works are site specific. These works were made after several journeys along the extent of the Hunter River in NSW. They explore in particular a search for the source of the river – be it in a National Park, on farm properties and unknown territory. The images made are an eclectic, visual statement of memories experienced along the way. They refer to, the natural beauty of this particular area of NSW, as well as environmental pressures currently brought on by land and water use.
Geraldine's abstract prints use colour and graphic structure as metaphor for altered and natural states. They reference our complex relationships and perceptions of the landscape.
It is often difficult to bridge the gap between natural and human intervention.

Q: Multiple versions of the same Python installed I installed Python3 via brew:
brew install python@3.9

And following the symlink chain of which python3 leads to:
$ which python3
/usr/local/bin/python3

$ ls -l /usr/local/bin/python3
lrwxr-xr-x  1 user  admin  41 27 Jul 17:44 /usr/local/bin/python3 -> ../Cellar/python@3.9/3.9.13_1/bin/python3

$ ls -l /usr/local/Cellar/python\@3.9/3.9.13_1/bin/python3
lrwxr-xr-x  1 user  staff  55 23 Jul 08:45 /usr/local/Cellar/python@3.9/3.9.13_1/bin/python3 -> ../Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.9/bin/python3

$ ls -l /usr/local/Cellar/python\@3.9/3.9.13_1/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.9/bin/python3
lrwxr-xr-x  1 user  staff  9 23 Jul 08:44 /usr/local/Cellar/python@3.9/3.9.13_1/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.9/bin/python3 -> python3.9

$ ls -l /usr/local/Cellar/python\@3.9/3.9.13_1/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.9/bin/python3.9
-rwxr-xr-x  1 user  staff  13620 23 Jul 08:42 /usr/local/Cellar/python@3.9/3.9.13_1/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.9/bin/python3.9

I also installed offlineimap with:
python3 -m pip install offlineimap

And the shebang line shows:
#!/usr/local/opt/python@3.9/bin/python3.9

which points to a different binary:
$ ls -l /usr/local/opt/python@3.9/bin/python3.9
lrwxr-xr-x  1 user  staff  57 23 Jul 08:45 /usr/local/opt/python@3.9/bin/python3.9 -> ../Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.9/bin/python3.9

$ ls -l /usr/local/opt/python@3.9/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.9/bin/python3.9
-rwxr-xr-x  1 user  staff  13620 23 Jul 08:42 /usr/local/opt/python@3.9/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.9/bin/python3.9

and the two have the same versions:
$ python3 --version
Python 3.9.13
$ /usr/local/opt/python@3.9/bin/python3.9 --version
Python 3.9.13

How could I have installed two instances of the same Python? How can I uninstall the non-brew version?

A: For me, and maybe in general, /usr/local/opt/python@3.9 is a symlink pointing to ../Cellar/python@3.9/3.9.13_1, and both correspond to Homebrew's Python 3: no duplicate executable. In contrast, /usr/bin/python3 is provided by Apple. On my machine, it's version 3.8.9 of Python, in contrast to Homebrew's version 3.9.13.

A: Homebrew installs the Apple Silicon binaries in /opt/homebrew and the Intel ones in /usr/local in addition to making a symbolic link for the actual program Which is outside your path to a location in the expected path. You should have two copies of python and maybe three if you have that Apple Silicon history.

*

*https://docs.brew.sh/Installation
Once nice thing on homebrew, is you can usually check the installed formulas and do a clean removal, then just reinstall the versions you need.
Is there a problem with letting the path manage which of the programs gets called?

Chandigarh witnesses three prime seasons across its territory: summer, monsoon, and winter. The best time of the year to pay a visit to this city is during the winter season. The pleasant and frosty climate of the winter provides apt weather for tourism here in Chandigarh. Let us look at how the different seasons attract tourists.
Summer (March to May)

The summer season in Chandigarh gets underway in March and causes the weather in the city to remain dry and humid until May. Occasionally, the town also receives a considerable downpour of rainfall, yet the climate remains sultry. The temperatures always hover between 35°C and 45°C, with May experiencing the hottest weather. Tourists who wish to beat the heat and travel to Chandigarh may find themselves lucky, as the locals celebrate Baisakhi in April. It is a unique experience when you catch a glimpse of the cultural festivities that include the harvest season kicking off and the formation of Khalsa Panth being commemorated.
Monsoon (June to September)

Monsoon season in Chandigarh comes along when the southwest monsoon winds drop by in June. The rainy season continues to send heavy showers across the city until September. Although Chandigarh receives between 700 mm and 1,200 mm rainfall regularly, the weather remains humid and blazing hot. Incessant rainfall results in the town turning into a lush green meadow, which means tourists who love nature are drawn to Chandigarh's scenic allure. The temperatures usually fluctuate between 25°C and 30°C during the monsoon season. Tourists who decide to explore Chandigarh at this time of the year can have an experience of the Teej festival celebrated by Punjabi women at the Rock Garden.

Look Who's Not Coming to Washington 2005
Released by: CALPIRG Education Fund
Release date: Tuesday, January 25, 2005
Large contributions made by a small fraction of Americans unduly influence who runs for office and who wins elections in the United States. Without personal wealth or access to networks of wealthy contributors, many qualified and credible candidates are locked out of contention for federal office—often before voters have the opportunity to register their preferences or hear competing points of view.
Money was as important to candidates in the most recent congressional elections as it has ever been. Our analysis of Federal Election Commission (FEC) campaign finance data for the 2004 election cycle reveals the following:
- Ninety-one (91) percent of 2004 congressional primary candidates who raised the most money won their races.
- Sixty-five (65) percent of all congressional primary elections were uncontested. Anecdotal evidence suggests the role of money in campaigns plays a significant part in discouraging candidates from running.
- Sixty-three (63) percent of 2004 congressional primary candidates' individual donations came in contributions of at least $1,000—from just 0.08 percent of the voting-age population.
Moreover, according to the Federal Election Commission, campaign fundraising continues to increase at a rate greater than inflation. Winning congressional candidates raised nearly 50 percent more in the 2004 cycle than in a comparable period during the 2002 cycle.
In order to put a human face on this data, we surveyed federal candidates who dropped out of races, lost primaries, or lost general elections. The candidates profiled in this report cite money as a primary reason why they lost or pulled out of their races entirely. Many of the unsuccessful candidates profiled are at least as credible and qualified as the eventual winners. What they lack is something altogether different—personal wealth, access to networks of wealthy donors, or policy positions that appeal to large contributors.
Several candidates made powerful statements about the state of our democracy and our campaign finance system:
"Democracy should never be for sale to the highest bidder. But democracy IS for sale to the highest bidder—and our democracy is very ill served as a result. … There's never been real campaign finance reform, only campaign finance reform perpetrated by the good ol' boys and girls, which puts those without wealth at a disadvantage and prohibits them from challenging the status quo."
- Charmaine Caccioppi, Democratic Candidate in Louisiana's 3rd District Open Primary
"The sad thing is that in America today if it's going to take $2 million to win, then normal people can't run anymore. You either have to be very, very wealthy or very, very bought."
- Janice Bowling, Republican Nominee for Tennessee's 4th District
"[The system] protects incumbents because there's so much money in the system. Money is tilted towards incumbents, so there's huge financial disincentives [for challengers] . . . Being a maverick outsider is not realistic when you're up against a $1 million ad buy."
- Jeff Steinborn, Democratic Primary Candidate in New Mexico's 2nd District
"[Running for Congress] is such a daunting task that it becomes a huge barrier for ordinary people who want to run. It's a business—you need a professional fundraiser ... We have a professional political class [in Congress] and we have a professional political class getting them elected. Outsiders need not apply."
- Mark Binder, Democratic Primary Candidate in Rhode Island's 1st District
"[Fundraising] is a big hurdle. I know a lot of people who would run—and I know people who have run once, but then can't do it again because they owe money [as a result]."
- Dr. Inam Rahman, Republican Primary Candidate in Hawaii's 2nd District
"My opponent raised 65 percent of his money from outside special interests at $10,000 a whack, while I'm collecting money from Sally and Joe."
- Brian Hamel, Republican Nominee for Maine's 2nd District
"[Our campaign finance system] benefits incumbents who are in safe districts and are in a position to really help some very narrow special interests. In a broader sense, it hurts everybody because it naturally makes [officeholders] inclined to give better service to those who give [them] more money. Representation is supposed to be one vote per person, not based on how much money you have…If you took the money out of politics, it would change the whole dynamic and produce a much healthier, more responsive, democracy."
- Ben Konop, Democratic Nominee for Ohio's 4th District
"If we think we are a democracy, we're deluding ourselves . . . We purport to be an example of democracy around the world, but in fact we have an oligarchy . . . I would hope and pray that we can take can take money out of politics . . ."
- Leigh Pomeroy, Democratic-Farmer- Labor Party Nominee for Minnesota's 1st District
