Biden thus far
Joe Biden has ascended to the highest seat in America only to capitulate to literally anyone with an objection.
Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. has been the president of the United States for about 60 days now. After decades in the senate, eight years as vice-president, and an election contested often by Republicans, Biden can now add "president" to his list of accomplishments. Though his predecessor is unlikely to fade into the population and content himself with a library or a couple hospitals, Biden has managed to put him largely in the past and move forward with his agenda. In many ways (due in no small part to a Twitter ban) the general population has been able to do so as well; as the great Sharon Jones once sang: "I've got better things to do than remember you."
Before I dive into the criticisms, it is worth first noting that Biden has managed to do a few good things within his first 60 days; unfortunately, some of those things come with an asterisk.
Though the actual vaccine was created before Joe Biden took office, he greatly increased distribution and has managed to make good on his promise to vaccinate 100 million people in 100 days—and beat his deadline by 42 days. With vaccine skepticism being widespread, this has been a huge accomplishment. Biden also wasted no time in attacking the argued climate failures of his predecessor. Within days, Biden would rejoin the Paris climate accord and axe the Keystone XL pipeline project. Despite Senator Ted Cruz's criticisms that Biden cares more for the people of Paris than the people of Pittsburgh or the disgruntlement Canadian leaders felt at these actions, Biden chose to do this for the people hoping to see a more realistic view and attack on climate change from their president. Shortly thereafter, Biden overturned the hugely controversial majority-Muslim country travel ban. Surprisingly, there was little to no reported pushback from the Republican party or its base following this action.
The new administration made much ado about divesting from private prisons, but managed to leave out that this would not apply to ICE facilities and roughly 80 percent of the prison industry. Additionally, Biden has used executive orders to overturn or reorient policy in a manner more agreeable to his agenda. Although he originally stated he would not unconstitutionally dictate through executive order he has shown a willingness to use them to forward the ball more than previous presidents; Biden signed 28 executive orders in his first two weeks—easily exceeding the totals that Trump (12), Obama (16), and Bush (7) accumulated over their entire first month.
Biden has also shown himself to be confused in terms of ideological appointments and downright unwilling to fight for good policy. Though his appointment of Deb Haaland as the first indigenous Interior Secretary was a progressive win, Biden has managed to use identity politics to appoint corporatist or status quo Democrats to key positions. Notoriously problematic Neera Tanden was nominated for the Office of Management and Budget seat but was only pushed out due to her "mean tweets." Though Tanden has a horrendous history including suggesting taking Libya's oil in return for bombing it to reduce America's debt, her appointment as well as her rejection had almost nothing to do with policy.
Additionally, appointing Lloyd Austin as Defense Secretary satisfied the identity mob by putting a black face into power, but it also satisfied defence contractor Raytheon Technologies by putting a board member in charge of dropping bombs and purchasing jets. Though the "historic" image of bombers with BLM and LGBTQ+ stickers have provided ample meme fodder, one sharp Minnesota ice fisher noted: "They're dropping bombs in Syria right now—and those bombs are kinda expensive for a dude who owes me $2,000," and this sentiment is exactly right. For some reason known only to him, Biden chose to break his $2000 cheque promise but return to the illegal foreign bombings that some want to end.
On that topic, Joe Biden has ascended to the highest seat in America only to capitulate to literally anyone with an objection. Some random senate parliamentarian (basically a high-level secretary) had an objection so powerful that Joe Biden just could not move forward with his plans to increase minimum wage to $15 an hour. Despite previous administrations overruling or simply firing obstinate parliamentarians, Biden has keeled over in the face of this almighty naysayer. There is much indication, however, that the campaign promise Biden buried in his website was something he wasn't particularly interested in passing in the first place (and he has said he doesn't think it will survive in his COVID-19 relief plan). In fact, one savvy reporter asked if Biden was fighting harder for Tanden than he was for a living wage.
As eluded to earlier, in a strange overture to the Republican party, Joe Biden further means tested and slowed his stimulus cheque delivery, ostensibly to motivate conservatives towards by bipartisan support. Unfortunately, not one of them took the offer. In fact, Biden nearly lost Senators like Joe Manchin and other "Blue Dogs" in the process. And despite some voters noting that they choose to vote for Trump partially because of the cheques with his name on it, Biden elected to not do so in what Republican commentator Saagar Enjeti called the "One of the stupidest things I've ever seen."
Sticking with the path laid before him by former presidents Obama and Trump, illegal immigrants along the southern border were once again ushered into cages. Despite much chest beating by AOC and Kamala Harris (who is now conspicuously silent on the matter), "migrant overflow facilities" have made their return. Yet, this onslaught of desperate migrants has given various Republicans another chance to dig in their heels and resist bipartisan work. Republican politician Lindsey Graham responded with "God, no" to furthering a bill he had written just 43 days prior unless the southern border was better managed. This meaning that the same Joe Biden who flubbed support for an immensely popular stimulus cheque can now flub advancing immigration and border reform.
On foreign policy, Biden has managed to both fail at peaceful or bully tactics with Iran while simultaneously giving fodder to China and Russia. America broke its agreement with Iran and then sanctioned them to curb Tehran's nuclear, missile, and arms threats—but I feel this was for no good reason. Instead of lifting sanctions as gesture of good faith, Biden has chosen to offer nothing to avert further uranium enrichment while demanding compliance. China has returned to embarrassing American diplomats—including a covid anal swab—and Russia's Vladimir Putin has challenged Biden to what some saw as a mocking debate.
In a shocking move, five white house staffers who admitted to previous marijuana usage were forced to resign while untold others were "reassigned." Despite previous notes from the president that they would not be punished for past usage, these recent reshufflings occurred. It bears noting that Kamala Harris has admitted to smoking marijuana and previous president Barack Obama has discussed it as well. Worse still, weed is legal in Washington DC—so this may spell doom for any hope that the orchestrator of the horrendous 1994 crime bill would undo his handiwork.
Even the strange Bidenisms that were once entertaining (he likes to call people "Lying, dog-faced pony soldiers") have taken a somewhat dark turn. By continuing the campaign tactic of avoiding press conferences, Biden has allowed the rumours of age-related decline to increase. After falling numerous times while ascending the steps of Air Force One, it seems to some as if the gaffe of calling Kamala Harris president could be a signal of the future. As I've previously noted, Biden is the oldest president ever, and with other US politicians in his age range facing ouster due to cognitive decline, his abilities may be a serious question.
Though I have been overwhelmingly critical of Biden, I think his initial actions have been on better side of mixed thus far. However, that may not be positive enough in the long run. The real question will be what momentum he carries into the next year of his presidency. If the American economy recovers by the end of summer but the border crises remain unabated, Republicans may be able to turn a few seats in the 2022 midterms. If the Republicans can avoid flack for their opposition to the stimulus bill, they may be in position to show an invigorated challenge to Biden—with or without Trump at the helm in 2024. Without delivering a large wage hike, the president may see his initially positive reception dissipate. Biden may not have the energy to dual anyone on stage four years from now and that may influence tactics on both sides. At worst, this will make Biden a somewhat popular stopgap president. With about 60 days gone, that seems the most likely.

And He usually replies with a scripture verse.
A scripture reminder that God is my helper usually does the trick of pushing through the darkness and providing some relief. Darkness can shroud truth, but it can never change or alter it. Truth just like Christ is consistent; it pushes through the darkness and reveals light. We just have to be reminded of it so often that it sinks into our bones and cells, but that too is a continuous and sometimes daily battle of the mind.
Sometimes, I am able to stop doubt right before it walks through the door by proclaiming truth over my life or the situation I am encountering. Somedays, I am shrouded in so much cloud that Christ in his infinite mercies has to push through the fog with scriptures I have stored deep in my heart, but can't find the strength to proclaim or even believe.
Just a few weeks before the conference room incident, I was in my room and doubt about my ability to execute a huge project for a client had hit. I was being paid big money, and I couldn't afford to mess it up. But then doubt about one project erupted into doubt about my abilities and my life in general.
Like how many times in one month do I need to be reminded that he is my helper? If I'm to confess, it was more that twice that month and many more throughout 2018. I can't confidently say that this truth has sunk into my heart or that I walk in it every moment of the day, but I am getting there. One thing, I am sure of is that in the midst of any storm, I can alway look up and God, my helper, is always there to remind me of things that are true, noble, powerful and freeing.

Federer holds off Nadal to reach Wimbledon final
Seventh-seeded Simona Halep played the best tennis of her life and ruined Serena Williams' chance for a 24th Grand Slam title on Saturday, winning 6-2, 6-2 in the women's singles final at Wimbledon.
It took Halep just 26 minutes to take the first set. Halep had just two unforced errors as she raced out to the early lead.
Williams started stronger in the second set as the pair traded holds until it was 2-2, but Halep broke her in the fifth game and never looked back — reeling off the next three games to seal the victory after just 56 minutes of play.

— Wimbledon (@Wimbledon) July 13, 2019
"She literally played out of her mind," said Williams. "Congratulations, Simona. It was a little bit of deer in the headlights from me. When someone plays like that you have to tip your cap and nod your head."
Asked if she'd ever had a better performance, Halep was emphatic.
"Never," said Halep. "Serena always inspired us so thanks for that. It's an honor to play in front of the Royal Box. I have no words to explain."
It's just the second Grand Slam title for Halep, who won the French Open in 2018. It's also the first time a player from Romania has won a singles title at Wimbledon.

"I have worked a lot to change my game, to be able to win matches on grass," said Halep. "It was an amazing tournament and I can't wait to come back."
Williams, seeded 11th, was making make her 11th appearance in the singles finals at the All England Club and trying for her eighth title here. Williams has 23 Grand Slam tournament titles, one short of tying Australian legend Margaret Court for the most all-time.
Williams falls to 9-3 all-time against the 27-year-old Halep. The past two meetings were also on the Grand Slam stage. Williams won in three sets in the 2019 Australian Open and took another three-setter at the 2016 US Open.

Iddrisu Baba scores first ever goal for Real Mallorca in draw with Cadiz
Ghana midfielder Iddrisu Baba was on target to help Real Mallorca claim a 1-1 away draw with Cadiz in La Liga on Sunday.
The 25-year-old's goal ultimately proved crucial in saving his side from defeat in the matchday 12 fixture at Estadio Nuevo Mirandilla.
The result sees the Pirates hold the 12th position on the league table, while their matchday opposition occupy the 17th position, just one place above the relegation zone.
Baba's strike comes almost a month after a post-match review panel discredited what he thought was his first career goal when his side faced Levante on matchday eight.
Against Cadiz, the 25-year-old opened the scoring in the 25th minute, slotting home from close range as a loose ball fell in his path in the box.
The visitors held their own and looked headed for a famous away win until the third minute of injury time when Mallorca conceded a penalty after Joan Sastre fouled Antony Lozano in the box.
Former Manchester City striker Alvaro Negredo stepped up and expertly sent goalkeeper Manolo Reina the wrong way to restore parity.
Baba has been a key man for Mallorca this season, having featured in all 12 La Liga games played by the club so far, starting in all but two.
Against Levante, the Ghanaian thought he had scored his first goal for the club as the Pirates registered a 1-0 win, and did not hold back to express his delight before the goal was later credited to teammate Angel Luis.

FBI clampdown reins in global DDoS-for-hire market
Cybercrime DDoS
Closing the floodgates… temporarily, at least
The FBI was able to cut the number of distributed denial-of-service attacks worldwide by 11% after shutting down just 15 of the most prolific DDoS-for-hire websites during the last quarter.
Following the seizures, according to the Nexusguard Q4 2018 DDoS Threat Report (registration required), the average size of DDoS attacks fell by 85% and the maximum attack size by 24%.
In fact, most attacks reported during the quarter were small, with more than 90% tapping out at less than 1 Gbps in magnitude.
There was, however, a growing number of so-called "bit-and-piece" attacks. These can evade detection thresholds, as the targeted IP address receives only a small number of responses in each campaign, leaving little or no trace.
The most popular type of bit-and-piece attack – Simple Service Discovery Protocol Amplification attacks – increased by a staggering 3,122% year on year, accounting for 48% of the total attack traffic.
User Datagram Protocol (UDP) and HTTPS Flood attacks accounted for 14% and 9%, respectively.
Meanwhile, attackers became more persistent, with one month-long campaign seeing the target site hit by as many as 13 attacks a day through most days in December.
In terms of the sources of attacks, China – as usual – led the field, accounting for 22% of DDoS assaults, followed by the US (18%), France (7%), and Russia (4%).
The FBI website seizures last December included Quantum Stresser, one of the longest-running DDoS-for-hire services in operation.
Quantum had over 80,000 customer subscriptions since its launch in 2012. In 2018 alone, the service was used to launch over 50,000 actual or attempted DDoS attacks worldwide.
Other ethically challenged services included Downthem, Ampnode, critical-boot.com and ragebooter.com.
Last April Europol took down Webstresser.org – the world's largest marketplace for DDoS attacks.
Despite the dip in DDoS traffic in the fourth quarter, Nexusguard researchers warned that so-called 'booter' or 'stresser' websites are set to make a comeback, thanks to a growing number of botnets and huge demand.
They cite the spread of the source code of Mirai, malware that turns networked devices running Linux into bots, saying this fueled "exponential" growth in botnets.
The team also believes that the FBI raids only scratched the surface of the problem, with a call for law enforcement bodies to improve their intelligence sharing.
"For the novice, carrying out a DDoS attack no longer requires coding or hacking skills; it's now just a few clicks away," the researchers warn.
"More bandwidth, faster connection speeds, and unpatched and unknown hardware/software vulnerabilities will continue to make DDoS attacks a persistent headache – despite the best efforts of law enforcement agencies."

Trump's Ambassador to Russia Is Being Called on to Resign, and Now the Newspaper Owned By His Own Family Just Joined In
In the wake of President Donald Trump's disastrous meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday, calls for Jon Huntsman, who currently serves as Trump's Ambassador to Russia, to resign resounded on Twitter.
@JonHuntsman Resign, if you have any honor.
— John Weaver (@John Weaver)1531758376.0
How can Jon Huntsman not resign immediately after that Trump-Putin presser?
— Chris Cillizza (@Chris Cillizza)1531759794.0
We will see if her father, @JonHuntsman agrees, and does the right thing by resigning in protest. https://t.co/eLm9mXjmPD
— VoteVets (@VoteVets)1531761017.0
But now Huntsman's hometown newspaper, The Salt Lake Tribune, which is owned by Huntsman's brother Paul, has joined the fray, having published a blistering Op-Ed titled "Ambassador Huntsman, Your Country Needs You."
In it columnist Robert Gehrke does not mince words:
"You work for a pawn, not a president...It's time to come home."

— Kyle Griffin (@Kyle Griffin)1531848905.0
Gehrke said that after Trump's "disgraceful" display of capitulation to Putin in Helsinki, "there is no other reasonable course of action" than for Huntsman to resign his post.
@kylegriffin1 This is bad. His own family.
— Federico Alves (@Federico Alves)1531850962.0
Gehrke noted that although the people of Utah were "stunned" when Huntsman agreed to serve in the Trump administration out of a "deep sense of duty," the ambassador should not continue to work for a president who "doesn't share your values, or American values, for that matter."
Resigning would send a message to Trump that a president "who attacks our allies, gives comfort to our adversaries and undermines our moral standing, our commitment to democratic ideals and our interest in human rights" will not be tolerated, Gehrke wrote.
Standing next to Putin during a press conference on Monday, Trump accepted Putin's word that Russia did not interfere in the 2016 presidential election despite the unanimous conclusions of every single American intelligence agency.
"I have great confidence in my intelligence people," Trump said. "But I will tell you that President Putin was extremely strong and powerful in his denial today."
On Sunday, Huntsman attempted to downplay the significance of the encounter between Trump and Putin. "This isn't a summit," Huntsman told Chuck Todd on Meet the Press. "It's a meeting."

— Meet the Press (@Meet the Press)1531729422.0
Gehrke called Trump's words a "disservice to the U.S. intelligence community, those diplomats who work in your office, and the integrity of our democracy and justice system."

— SandraForPete🇺🇸🇳🇴🇸🇪 (@SandraForPete🇺🇸🇳🇴🇸🇪)1531850781.0
Gehrke also cited Special Counsel Robert Mueller's ongoing probe into the Russian attack on our election, adding that "no rational person can seriously question Russian involvement." Mueller has issued more than 100 indictments against more than two dozen Russians and five Trump associates in the course of his year-long probe.
Huntsman's role as chief emissary to Russia is undermined, Gehrke opines, because neither Trump or Putin is a "rational person."
In addition to widespread condemnation of Trump's remarks in Helsinki by Republican lawmakers, Huntsman's daughter Abby tweeted on Monday that Trump threw the United States "under the bus."
No negotiation is worth throwing your own people and country under the bus.
— Abby Huntsman (@Abby Huntsman)1531759229.0
Gehrke then asks how Huntsman, who has two sons in the navy, could possibly "entrust their future to such a cowardly, misguided commander in chief" who espouses a "fundamental disregard for U.S. security and our moral authority internationally?"
"This has to be the last straw," Gehrke said. He suggested that Huntsman remaining in place as ambassador amounts to "complicity in the undoing of our nation and its status as a world leader."

Estate of Roy Colmer
Installation View,
Lisson Gallery London
Lisson Gallery presents Roy Colmer's first-ever solo exhibition in London and the gallery's inaugural project with the artist in the United Kingdom. Influenced by the likes of Arshile Gorky, Bruce Nauman, Nam June Paik and Jackson Pollock, with a career spanning five decades, Colmer's work holds an important place in the narrative of contemporary art. The presentation at Lisson Gallery highlights Colmer's unique visual language by bringing together eight paintings from the early 1970s, reflecting the artist's intellectual engagement with the contemporary changes of science and technology of that time, along with a film and documentation of his work in this medium.
London-born artist Roy Colmer (1935–2014) was a painter, photographer, graphic designer and film artist. Through the use of painting, film, photography and collage, inspired by the introduction of new, electronic media that dominated the artistic landscape of the 1970s, Colmer challenged the disciplinary boundaries in which he worked. His incorporation of time-based technologies with paint and canvas – which other artists at the time found too conventional – mark Colmer as a true innovator in his field.
Colmer began painting in the mid-1960s after graduating from Hochschule für Bildende Künste in Hamburg, where he was taught under the tutelage of Almir Mavignier, Eduardo Paolozzi and Georg Gresko. Colmer's signature approach, characterised by his use of a spray gun, brought about a nuanced language of painting, allowing him to create filmic effects that evoke the sensation of vibration, movement and distortion. Reminiscent of early TV sets flickering to life, the paintings on display as part of the exhibition – all from the early 1970s and rarely exhibited before – display an optical haze of colour built around horizontal stripes and pulsating lozenge-like, organic forms. These works particularly demonstrate Colmer's ongoing experimentation with technique and style, progressing to include multi-forms and waves created against a background of shifting colours. Lines bend and gyrate, taking on an almost figurative quality, as sections of these misty, tonal canvasses take on shadowy contours. As Alex Bacon identified in an exhibition catalogue that accompanied Colmer's first exhibition with Lisson in January this year, "It was a true innovation of Colmer's to jerry-rig his spray gun to be able to change colours in the course of a single pass across the canvas."
In the 1970s, around the same time Colmer was producing spray-paintings, he began working with closed circuit television, exploring the effects of video feedback and interference in this new medium. The television thus became his spray gun. Toying with the stream of electrons that are blasted against a TV screen, like the play between spray-gun, paint and canvas, Colmer's video works continued to embody his painterly style, the changing, undulating patterns similar to those found in his paintings. The work featured as part of this exhibition, Metamorphosis (1974), realises the dance-like movement Colmer wanted to convey in his films in direct response to the movement expressed in abstract expressionist paintings. Black-and-white figures transform into amorphous abstractions; their colourful forms, mixed with intermittent flashes of light and static, similar to the imagery generated by heat-sensing body cameras. Rare, archival photographs documenting Colmer's process behind the creation of his films accompany the exhibition, providing unique access into this area of the artist's practice.

Manchester By The Sea: Casey Affleck is Phenomenal
Lucas Hedges and Casey Affleck in MANCHESTER BY THE SEA. Photo credit: Courtesy of Amazon Studios and Roadside Attractions.
Written by:Danielle SolzmanPosted on: December 6, 2016 May 22, 2017
Manchester by the Sea is one of the best dramas to be released in 2016. As a Boston janitor who returns home to Manchester following the death of his brother, Casey Affleck delivers one of his strongest performances to date. He should receive his first Oscar nomination since 2007's The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford.
Written and directed by Kenneth Lonergan, the movie stars Affleck, Michelle Williams, Kyle Chandler, Lucas Hedges, Gretchen Mol and C.J. Wilson.
Lee Chandler (Casey Affleck) is working as a janitor when he finds out that his brother died back in Manchester-by-the-Sea. Traveling home to take care of the funeral arrangements, Lee learns that his brother, Joe (Kyle Chandler), has appointed him as the guardian of his son, Patrick (Lucas Hedges). Lee packs up his Boston apartment to move to Manchester-by-the-Sea so that he can look after Patrick.
The Chandlers are a family that have lived the the village for generations and we get told their story through flashbacks that only serve to strengthen the film's purpose. Meanwhile, Lee is still haunted by his past. Drunk one night, he walks to the store and doesn't remember if he put the screen up in front of the fire place. Walking back, he looks to see his house on fire. His wife, Randi (Michelle Williams) is devastated and two of their children die in the fire as a result. No charges were filed against him as it was only an accident, Lee still feels responsible for what happened.
Both Lee and Patrick have to adjust to a life without Joe. For the both of them, their lives will never be the same.
Both Matt Damon and John Krasinski serve as producers of the Massachusetts-set film. Damon was originally tabbed to make his directorial debut as well as star in the feature but scheduling conflicts prevented him from doing so. Affleck took over for Damon in the role of Lee Chandler.
"Manchester by the Sea is a beautiful movie about a man who has to take care of his nephew after his brother dies," Damon says. "The problem is that coming back to his hometown means he has to face the greatest tragedy of his life."
Lonergan's screenplay is simply amazing and could very well win the Oscar.
Premiering at the 2016 Sundance Film Festival in January, Amazon Studios and Roadside Attractions distributed Manchester by The Sea in limited release on November 18th. It is playing in 156 theaters as of this weekend.

Q: finding a hash function for long integer array I am looking for a hash function for an integer array containing about 17 integers each. There are about 1000 items in the HashMap and I want the computation to be as fast as possible.
I am now kind of confused by so many hash functions to choose and I notice that most of them are designed for strings with different characters. So is there a hash function designed for strings with only numbers and quick to run?
Thanks for your patience!

A: You did not specify any requirements (except speed of calculation), but take a look at java.util.Arrays#hashCode. It should be fast, too, just iterating once over the array and combining the elements in an int calculation.

Returns a hash code based on the contents of the specified array. For any two non-null int arrays a and b such that Arrays.equals(a, b), it is also the case that Arrays.hashCode(a) == Arrays.hashCode(b).
The value returned by this method is the same value that would be obtained by invoking the hashCode method on a List containing a sequence of Integer instances representing the elements of a in the same order. If a is null, this method returns 0.

And the hashmap accepts an array of integer as the key.

Actually, no!
You could technically use int[] as a key in a HashMap in Java (you can use any kind of Object), but that won't work well, as arrays don't define a useful hashCode method (or a useful equals method). So the key will use object identity. Two arrays with identical content will be considered to be different from each-other.
You could use List<Integer>, which does implement hashCode and equals. But keep in mind that you must not mutate the list after setting it as a key. That would break the hashtable.

A: hashmap functions can be found in
https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/util/HashMap.html
Creating a hashmap is easy.. it goes as
HashMap<Object, Integer> map = new HashMap<Object, Integer>();

The crispness of the footage makes the story feel new again. It's amazing how much tension and drama they are able to find in the moon landing itself, as compared to First Man, which makes the landing seem almost anticlimactic.
this really could have been a "wring-the-IP-dry" cash grab and ended up being one of the best superhero movies I've ever seen. I don't have enough superlatives for the thing -- characters, plot, animation, action sequences, world building, risk-taking -- and only really docked a half-star out of sheer disbelief that it was really That Good. It reinvented the genre? I haven't seen an American animated feature this stylistically inventive since ??
- it took me awhile (embarrassingly long, probably) to realize that this is, in fact, a coming of age story. it is other things as well, but it chiefly that.

This listing is for dealer bulk lots of the red Erie-Lackawanna piece - order 10, 20, or 50 pieces. Great resale opportunity for railroad shows, flea markets, Etsy, eBay, and store stock.
The merger of the Erie Railroad and Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Railroad (DL&W) was approved by the Interstate Commerce Commission on September 13, 1960, officially becoming the Erie-Lackawanna Railroad on October 17. A minor renaming occurred in late 1963, when the company dropped the hyphen, becoming the Erie Lackawanna Railroad (EL). The newly formed railroad would be controlled, at least initially, by former Erie directors. Both of EL's parents entered the merger after a couple of years of deficit operations, and EL continued their record, except for 1965 and 1966.
The northeast railroads, including EL, were in decline due to subsidized highway and waterway competition, high rates of urban property taxation, commuter operations, and market saturation (i.e., too many railroad lines competing for what market was remaining).The closure in the 1960s of old factories in the eastern cities, followed by the decline of the domestic automobile and steel industry in the 1970s, eroded much of EL's traditional traffic base.
Another problem was the inability to respond to market conditions. At the time, American railroads were heavily regulated by the ICC, which made it difficult for allow railroads to change the rates they charged both shippers and passengers. Reducing costs was the only way to survive and become profitable, but the ICC capriciously restricted what cost-cutting could take place, despite government subsidized competition from airlines, bus lines and the private automobile.
EL quickly consolidated its passenger services, with most trains following the former DL&W route east of Binghamton, New York and the former Erie route west. Long-distance passenger trains were gradually cut back during the 1960s, and the last Hoboken-Chicago train was discontinued on January 6, 1970, leaving EL with a single daily commuter round trip between Cleveland and Youngstown, Ohio, and its extensive New Jersey commuter services.
In 1960, the Chesapeake & Ohio Railway (C&O) began acquiring Baltimore & Ohio Railroad stock, and in November 1961, the Pennsylvania Railroad and New York Central Railroad announced their intention to merge as the Penn Central. In 1964, Norfolk & Western Railway (N&W) teamed up with Nickel Plate, the Wabash Railroad, the Pittsburgh & West Virginia Railway, and the Akron, Canton & Youngstown Railroad. EL was suddenly surrounded, or thought it would be when all the mergers were approved, and asked to be included in the N&W system. In 1965, N&W and C&O announced their merger plan, which would include EL and several other smaller eastern railroads, to be held by a wholly owned subsidiary holding company named Dereco, Inc. The N&W-C&O merger never took place, but on March 1, 1968, Dereco and EL merged.
Hurricane Agnes hit the East on June 22, 1972. After estimating that damage to the railroad, EL filed for bankruptcy on June 26, 1972. During the reorganization of the eastern railroads, it was thought that EL might be able to reorganize on its own, and there was a proposal by Chessie System to buy a portion of the EL. However, operating unions could not reach a compromise, and Chessie canceled the agreement. Also, by 1975, the economy in the eastern United States was affected by the 1973 oil crisis, hurting any hopes of EL being able to independently compete with government-rehabilitated Conrail lines.
Conrail assumed EL operations on April 1, 1976. Conrail's map excluded most of the former Erie main line west of Marion, Ohio. The Erie Western Railway was formed in 1977 to operate the 152 miles from Decatur to Hammond, Indiana, with subsidy from the state of Indiana.
An independent Erie Lackawanna Estate continued in existence for several years thereafter. This estate liquidated the EL's marginal non-railroad assets and distributed the railroad purchase funds to satisfy much of the large debt burden that the EL and its predecessors had accumulated. EL's creditors gained more by selling the line's assets than by continuing its traditional business operations. Thus, the EL was a business enterprise that became worth more dead than alive. N&W donated its 1,000 shares of EL stock and the corporate records to the University of Virginia in 1983.

Israelis Think No Concession Will Ever Satisfy the West: 6 Reasons Why They're Right
22 Dec, 2010 by	John Hawkins
Sometimes, I wonder how well the Israelis really understand the situation that they're in. This suggests that they have a pretty good handle on the world opinion part of it,
A newly released WikiLeaks cable quotes Ron Dermer, a top adviser to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, telling a U.S. diplomat of Israelis' frustration with the peace process. Surprisingly, however, Dermer didn't focus primarily on Palestinian behavior. Rather, he charged, "the Israeli public is skeptical regarding the benefits of returning to negotiations" because "all the GOI [government of Israel] has received in return for its efforts [to date] was a 'slap-down from the international community.'"
Dermer didn't offer evidence to support his claim about Israeli frustration with the "international community," but the data are shocking: according to the August Peace Index poll, fully 77 percent of Jewish Israelis think "it makes no difference what Israel does and how far it may go on the Palestinian issue; the world will continue to be very critical of it." And in fact, Israelis have good reasons for this belief.
For instance, when Hezbollah continued attacking Israel even after Israel's withdrawal from Lebanon in 2000, the world, far from condemning Hezbollah, excoriated Israel when it finally responded to these attacks in the 2006 Second Lebanon War. Moreover, after having certified the withdrawal as 100 percent complete in 2000, the UN Security Council then rewarded Hezbollah's aggression in 2006 by voting to remap Lebanon's borders, "especially in those areas where the border is disputed" by Hezbollah, with an eye toward forcing Israel to quit additional territory.
Then, when Israel withdrew from Gaza in 2005, evacuating 25 settlements in the process, it was rewarded by daily rocket fire on its cities from the evacuated territory. Yet when it finally fought back, in 2008, it was slapped with the Goldstone Report, which accused it of "war crimes" and urged its indictment in the International Criminal Court.
Here's Israel's real problem with "world opinion."
#1) A lot of nations vote their pocket books and a tiny little country like Israel can't offer as much as oil producers like Saudi Arabia and Iran.
#2) Anti-Semitism still runs rampant in much of the world. Is anyone surprised that nations that enthusiastically shipped their Jews off to death camps in WW2 still hate Jews today?
#3) The Israelis are prosperous, civilized people. The Palestinians are evil, backward savages. Although they generally won't come out and admit it, liberals think people like the Palestinians are too primitive and stupid to be expected to act like decent human beings. The same can't be said of the Israelis. So, they expect the Israelis to give up everything because they're better people than the Palestinians, while the Palestinians can't be expected to do any better than they are because, well, look at 'em! It's a form of reverse racism that liberals engage in on a regular basis with all sorts of groups.
#4) See #3? It's even worse for Europeans because they feel guilty about colonialism in a way that Americans don't. So, they see an advanced Western culture in the midst of a bunch of natives and they sympathize will the natives. No, it's not the same thing at all, but it probably seems like the same thing to a lot of Europeans.
#5) Because the Nazis were so thorough in their work, the number of Jews in Europe is fairly low. On the other hand, the Islamic population has increased dramatically there and if we're being honest, rabid anti-semitism and Islam tend to go hand and hand. So, if you're a politician and 10% of your population consists of Muslims who love seeing dead Jews while 1% of your population consists of Jews who are sympathetic to Israel, well, you do the math.
#6) Jews are God's chosen people and although it hasn't always been so, Christians today tend to be particularly sympathetic to Jews. Unfortunately, Christianity is dying in Europe. Outside of a few enclaves of faith, it's practically a post-Christian continent.
Put it all together and, yes, "it makes no difference what Israel does and how far it may go on the Palestinian issue; the world will continue to be very critical of it."

[BBANGYA News | Reporter Mo Mo] Anya Taylor Joy, who starred in 'Queen's Gambit', confessed to her complexities about her appearance.
The limited series 'Queen's Gambit', which began broadcasting on Netflix on October 23rd, recorded a huge hit. The work already broke the record for the highest viewing of Netflix's limited series, and in the US streaming viewership rankings, despite the total 7 episodes, it made a huge hit, ranking first. Recently, it is a Netflix original series that has achieved critical success enough to score 100% on the review site Rotten Tomatoes.
As you might feel when you watch the drama Queen's Gambit, the story is so solid and the scenes are so probable that you unconditionally tell the story so you want to think that it is a true story. However, Queen's Gambit is not a drama based on a true story. Instead, it is said that this drama is a work in which the original exists, and the original is a novel created by a person named Walter Tevis.
The protagonist, Anya Taylor Joey, is an actor who broke with his appearance in the psychological thriller 'Split' starring James McAvoy. She revealed that she did not have confidence in her appearance due to a complex about her image and appearance. She was born in 1996, and despite her young age, she plays a significant role in numerous and diverse works, and she was born in Florida, but her father Is an Argentinean and her mother is British, so she is fluent in English as well as Spanish!!!
People are wondering if Season 2 of Queen's Gambit, where you can watch Queen's Gambit, which is very immersed even if you don't know chess, is prepared with really great acting ability and a solid story and cast, and a full composition that makes you doubt the true story.

Jay-Z Finally Opens Up About the Pain He Caused Beyoncé Following Cheating Scandal
Apparently, they were working on an album together about it.
By Rachel Epstein published 29 November 17
It's been over a year and half since the release of Beyoncé's infamous 2016 album Lemonade, and Jay-Z is finally opening up about the pain he caused Beyoncé with his infidelity in a recent interview with T Magazine. The rapper talks about how they channeled their pain into both of their albums, and admits they were *even* working on album together before Bey dropped Lemonade.
Every Secret Bey & Jay Have Hidden in Their Music
"We were using our art almost like a therapy session. And we started making music together...And then the music she was making at that time was further along. So her album came out as opposed to the joint album that we were working on," he admits. "We still have a lot of that music. And this is what it became. There was never a point where it was like, 'I'm making this album.' I was right there the entire time."
Jay-Z also reveals the release of their albums was "uncomfortable" but necessary.
"The best place is right in the middle of the pain...and that's where we were sitting. It was uncomfortable. And we had a lot of conversations. You know. [I was] really proud of the music she made, and she was really proud of the art I released. And, you know, at the end of the day we really have a healthy respect for one another's craft. I think she's amazing."
15 Behind-the-Scenes Photos from 'Lemonade'
He even mentions the "D" word continuing,"You know, most people walk away, and like divorce rate is like 50 percent or something 'cause most people can't see themselves. The hardest thing is seeing pain on someone's face that you caused, and then have to deal with yourself."
So yes, there is in fact a Beyoncé/Jay-Z album that exists on this earth. Let's not forget the amazing piece of art that was "Bonnie and Clyde," and how incredible it would be if the pair blessed us with a full-on collab. Here's hoping. 🙏

The Death of the CWHL Presents a New Opportunity for Women's Professional Hockey
The sudden announcement by the Canadian Women's Hockey League (CWHL) that it was ceasing operations has generated controversy and confusion. But as an academic who researches sport organizations, I have a different take — the CWHL closure opens the door for new and innovative women's professional hockey opportunities.
On the surface, this ordeal reads as a tale of two leagues – one non-profit, the CWHL, and one for-profit, the National Women's Hockey League (NWHL).
When the CWHL announced it was shutting down, the league's board of directors stated"the business model has proven to be economically unsustainable." Many fans and media took this to mean the non-profit model won't work and the only option is the NWHL's for-profit approach.
But this is a shortsighted view.
Closure is a catalyst for change
The closure of the CWHL is a catalyst for other key stakeholders to enter the scene — which has happened many times in the past for men's professional hockey, where leagues have come and gone.
As my early doctoral research shows, many different stakeholders — including players, hockey federations, government and industry officials — have influenced the development of hockey over time.
The Canadian Amateur Hockey Association, created in 1914, initially resisted popular pressure to allow pay-to-play leagues to emerge. But as players opted for independent leagues that paid them, the CAHA loosened its regulations and accommodated a degree of professionalism while at the same time overseeing the development of hockey in the country.
This shift opened the market to hockey boosters and entrepreneurs, some of whom owned rinks and needed to have an attractive product in order to entice customers.
Money-making activity was fast and furious. Leagues came (the National Hockey League started in 1917) and went (the professional National Hockey Association lasted from 1909-18).
Rivalry between leagues
In his account of the emergence of the NHL, academic John Wong says separate camps jockeyed for position and profit as commercial hockey gained public interest. This is no different than the interplay — or as some note, the business rivalry — between the CWHL and NWHL that has unfolded since 2015, when the U.S.-based NWHL formed.
Women's hockey also attracted economic interests during the early part of the 20th century. In his review of American women's hockey in the First World War era, Andrew Holmannotes that sports entrepreneurs sought new ways to sell the game, and as a result, women's hockey was positioned as a commercial venture. The key point Holman makes about this historic time, though, is the rise and fall of the women's game, including its professional form. It is important to note the CWHL story has happened before.
In his examination of hockey capital and the sports industry, historian Andrew Ross notes the complex men's professional hockey landscape has included single-ownership leagues. He points out the NHL was once an unincorporated, non-profit organization.
Not a new model
The key lesson, then, is to recognize the CWHL model was not new and that this approach, as well as others, has existed and failed in the past. More importantly, these models, and the individuals that spearheaded them, pave the way for new and viable professional women's hockey approaches to emerge.
Which brings us to the next phase of the story.
In my work on the global development of women's hockey, I note there is no one "best" model, and that each country must develop at its own pace through a method that best suits its unique hockey system. The same is true for a professional women's hockey league.
However, the CWHL's shutdown created a vacuum. Just over 48 hours after the CWHL released news of its decision to close, the NWHL's board announced an investment plan to establish two teams in Canada, and that it received a financial sponsor commitment from the NHL. And so, in a similar fashion to how the NHL and World Hockey Association, a rival men's professional hockey league that existed from 1972-79, merged, one league shuts down while the others acquires some of its franchises and moves on as the lone commercial player in the female game.
Looking back to 2015 when the NWHL was formed, it's interesting to reflect upon the CWHL's response. The CWHL commissioner at the time, Brenda Andress, commented that the NWHL model was wrong and "that for us, it's about sound operational and financial foundations first because we want to ensure the viability of the long term."
During its 12 years of operation, the CWHL took this approach and in so doing, shaped the professional women's hockey landscape. It's now time for the next stage.

Pick 6ix Sports has officially revealed it's new look for what was previously Pick 6ix. The restaurant, a partnership between Drake, OVO's Chubbs Beezer and Montreal chef Antonio Park, opened last February but closed early due to flood damage that occurred in August.
Representatives announced that the entire restaurant had suffered extensive water damage, from the luxe gold and black furniture all the way to the kitchen.
The spot has remained closed since then, causing some to speculate if Pick 6ix would ever re-open. And it looks like, finally, the answer is yes. The newly-rebranded Pick 6ix Sports "will introduce a brand-new look and feel at 33 Yonge St., creating a contemporary sports bar destination in the heart of the city's Financial District," a release reads.
New look, new vibe, new menu… this is #Pick6ixSports. Our doors are now open! Come through after tonight's @raptors game where the team's official DJ @4Korners will be on deck. #toronto #the6ix #nba #Raptors pic.twitter.com/Pn1ifPIPVN— Pick 6ix Sports (@Pick6ixSports) March 22, 2019
The new space is a little less glitzy and a little more open featuring over 38 flat screen TVs, and a major upgrade to the menu. Featuring elevated bar classics like chuck prime rib burgers and brisket nachos. However, for those who want to be a little more fancy, there's some hidden gems. Try ceviche, vegan potstickers, jerk grilled salmon, or tuna poke bowls. Okay Drake, we see you.

Lisa Kramer, University of Toronto
A high-stakes legal drama featuring cryptocurrencies has been unfolding in a Canadian court recently.
The antics that led to the litigation almost defy credulity, and they highlight the need for new regulations to better suit a financial marketplace that includes virtual currencies.
News broke in early February that Canadian cryptocurrency exchange QuadrigaCX was seeking creditor protection, leaving in financial limbo about 115,000 people who had entrusted the firm to maintain their deposits of cash, Bitcoins and other digital tokens worth an estimated C$250 million.
The company's need for bankruptcy protection arose when its founder and chief operator, Gerald Cotten, died suddenly in December while vacationing in India. Normally, if a financial institution's executive officer meets an untimely demise, he or she doesn't bring to the afterworld the only keys to the vault. And thus clients maintain continued access their deposited funds all the while.
In the case of Quadriga, unfortunately, Cotten was the only living soul who knew the password to an encrypted offline repository, known as cold storage, where the firm had enshrined the vast majority of clients' cryptocurrency deposits. Without the password, no one can access those holdings.
Murky or absent regulations
While the Nova Scotia Supreme Court wades its way through some very novel and complex issues, the question that comes to my mind is: How has one bad decision about password custodianship caused more than 100,000 people to lose access to their deposits?
The answer lies in the murky and mostly lacking regulations that govern the cryptocurrency world. Nothing stops entrepreneurs like Cotten from running companies like Quadriga with no independent oversight.
Had he ever raised equity capital from investors in return for tokens or coins, that process would have been governed by Canadian securities regulations. But because Quadriga is an exchange — maintaining deposits and facilitating conversions between regular cash and cryptocurrencies, but not issuing cryptocurrencies in exchange for ownership shares — it operates in a regulatory vacuum.

In Canada, the Office of Superintendent of Financial Institutions (OFSI) oversees banks that take regular dollar deposits. One might argue that the OFSI umbrella ought to be adapted to include oversight of virtual exchanges like Quadriga, even though such institutions are not technically banks and their deposits are non-traditional in nature.
That oversight would impose accounting standards and reporting requirements that would help prevent the sorts of irresponsible missteps that put Quadriga depositors in such a precarious position.
A likely side benefit of regulatory supervision would be the eventual development of standardized safeguards against hackers and other cybercriminal activity that plagues the cryptocurrency world.
Lack of regulations attractive to some
A feature that draws many crypto enthusiasts to the virtual currency sector is the very fact that it lacks government oversight, and those individuals will bristle at any hint of new regulations.
Members of the general public might also be leery of new laws lest they grant an undeserved sheen of legitimacy to cryptocurrencies, which are not suitable investments for anyone except the most risk-loving of speculators.
But in Canada, we regulate many industries that are risky or distasteful to some, including gambling, alcohol, tobacco and marijuana. The underlying calculus is that providing standards for certain illicit activities is preferable to driving those activities to the black market, where the risks would be amplified.
For instance, a benefit of buying my beloved guilty pleasure of choice, craft gins, from a regulated marketplace is that I can imbibe confident in the knowledge that my cocktails are free from wood alcohol. Three cheers for avoiding blindness!
We cannot protect Canadians from all possible risks, especially when it comes to financial markets. And to be clear, I am not suggesting that we indemnify cryptocurrency speculators against losses that may arise from taking calculated risks, such as the beating that some fortune-seekers have taken since Bitcoin valuations plummeted from stratospheric heights.
Rather, I propose that depositors ought not to be penalized for the indiscretions of the custodians to whom they entrust their financial holdings.T
Lisa Kramer, Professor of Finance, University of Toronto
Have you been thinking about money lately? Wondering where to find more? Thinking you could do a better job of managing the dollars you have? If so, you are in good company.
Between figuring out how to pay for bills that added up over December holidays, wishing for warmth or a vacation and looking at the beginning of tax season, this is a time of year when people are often prompted to take a closer look at their finances.
Canadians and money
Yet the picture we see when we look closer isn't always good. Canadian households are holding record levels of debt, and savings rates continue to be low.
With less than 40 per cent of paid workers covered by a registered pension plan, saving for retirement is a critical challenge for many families.
Surveys show large portions of the population in Canada report they are financially stressed, and that this stress ripples out and negatively affects other aspects of their lives.
As a researcher in family economic health, colleagues and I have been researching the financial challenges and opportunities for Canadian adults in mid-life.
Our research shows that the more money family caregivers need to spend on the care needs of others, the worse their own personal financial, social and health outcomes are. It also points to the need to consider our own care needs as well as our families' when we plan our financial futures.
The financial crisis of 2008-09 sparked increased interest in financial literacy worldwide. In Canada, the Task Force on Financial Literacy defined financial literacy as having the knowledge, skills and confidence to make responsible financial decisions.
Following on the work of the task force, the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada consulted widely and developed a national strategy for financial literacy.
Now researchers are moving beyond the idea of financial literacy, which tends to focus on what we know about finances, to thinking about financial well-being or financial health — the outcome we want to achieve.
What is financial well-being?
An international authority on consumer finances, Elaine Kempson, defines financial well-being as the capacity to meet one's current obligations comfortably and the resilience to maintain this capacity in the future.
That's challenging for many reasons. We have to make decisions for today that are going to help us in a future with a lot of unknowns.

It isn't just financial knowledge that matters, but also what we are able to do with that knowledge in our economic and social environments.
Further, as research in behavioural economics is showing, our brains can get in the way. We think we are making perfectly rational, logical decisions when we aren't.
Technological innovation in financial services ("fintech") can be difficult to keep pace with and understand.
And, although there are lots of resources, it can be difficult to figure out which are appropriate for our own situation.
So if you've been finding it difficult to get control of your money and make the changes you want to make to improve your financial well-being, there are some good reasons it might be challenging.
While some people respond to a challenge by digging right in, others prefer to look the other way and hope it will all work out in the end.
However, when it comes to money, looking the other way can result in big problems — or at the very least, missed opportunities.
Tips for increasing financial well-being
Whether you feel overwhelmed by your finances and don't know where to start, or you think things are pretty good but you'd like to make them better, it's never too late to make a change.
Here are some tips and techniques to start improving financial well-being.
1. Spend less than you earn
Think about three big categories of money: spending for today, saving for the future and giving to the causes and organizations that matter to you and your family. When we spend less than we earn, we create the space to save and to give to others. Note: spending includes debt repayment!
2. Do the math
No one tool is best, but most of us could use a little help in making a budget, revising it as needed and tracking spending. Use what works for you, whether that's a spreadsheet, an app, financial software or a pencil and paper. The best tools are the ones you use. The Financial Consumer Agency of Canada has some great information on budgeting and many other aspects of finances.
3. If possible, don't do it alone
If you have a spouse or partner, work to be sure you are on the same page with financial decisions. Financial stress can be a significant source of tension in relationships. If you're single, could you have a low-budget finance date or breakfast with a friend to compare notes?
And if you have kids, bring them into money conversations in age-appropriate ways. Research is showing parents can be important, positive financial role models for their children.
4. Save off the top
Arrange to have a set amount come out of your chequing account and go into a savings account each payday. Revise the amount as your pay changes over time. Aim to have three to six months worth of expenses in savings to cover emergencies. Investigate tax-free savings accounts (TFSAs) and registered retirement savings plans (RRSPs) for longer-term financial goals.
Read more: How to determine what's better – RRSPs or TFSAs?
5. File that tax return
Even if you don't owe taxes, file that return!
Filing is the only way to get refundable tax credits like the GST/HST refund. Federal and provincial governments use the income on tax returns to establish eligibility for benefits and supports like the Canada Child Benefit.
Even if you don't get a sunshine getaway this year, if you're responsible and proactive right now, a piece of that serenity will be within reach through your ongoing wellness — and the occasional well-planned splurge.

St. Louis Cardinals: Four Possible Free Agent Replacements for Alex Reyes

No. 2 – Jake Peavy
The 15-year veteran Jake Peavy is still in need of a new home and the St. Louis Cardinals could be a good fit. Peavy is at the end of his career looking to win while the Cardinals would benefit from his extensive experience and his leadership.
Peavy has played for the San Francisco Giants for the past three seasons but was also a part of the 2013 Boston Red Sox rotation that defeated the Cardinals in the World Series. Peavy has played in big moments, pitched for successful teams, and has won a Cy Young award. However, with his age rising and his velocity dipping, he has been put into a 5th starter/swing-man type of role.
In 2016, Peavy pitched in 31 games making 21 starts and had a 5.54 ERA. However, in 2015, he made 19 starts and pitched well enough to post a 3.58 ERA. He's shown the ability to be more than serviceable as a starter and long reliever despite being 35-years old.
With Reyes out for the season the Cardinals could use another option for a 5th starter and long reliever type role. Reyes was likely to serve in that capacity for his rookie season and provided the rotation with some much needed security while also providing the bullpen with a weapon.
Peavy could fill that void while also providing a number of benefits that aren't quantifiable on a stat sheet. His experience is rare in today's game while his leadership is invaluable and the Cardinals would be lucky to have someone like Peavy in the clubhouse.

Missouri man charged with killing man as he walked his dog
Rep. Kirkpatrick of Arizona seeking treatment for alcoholism

PHOENIX (AP) — U.S. Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick of Arizona said Wednesday that she's taking time off from her congressional duties to seek treatment for alcohol dependence after a "serious" fall last week.
Kirkpatrick, a Democrat whose swing district in southern Arizona has been targeted by Republicans in the November election, said she's "finally seeking this help after struggling to do so in the past."
"I am ready to admit that I, like countless other Americans, suffer from this disease," Kirkpatrick said in a statement. "Hard work and determination — which have brought me success in life — have not been enough to win this battle."
Kirkpatrick fell in Washington and went to a hospital with multiple cracked ribs and spinal fractures and required staples in her head, her spokeswoman, Abigail O'Brien, toldthe Arizona Daily Star.
In her statement, Kirkpatrick described alcohol dependence as "the underlying cause of my fall." With physical therapy, she said she can fully recover.
O'Brien estimated the congresswoman would be out for three weeks, "possibly more." Kirkpatrick said she has "the full expectation and desire to return to work stronger and healthier and to continue serving my beloved Arizona." She said her staff would continue representing constituents and she would publicly disclose her position on all the recorded votes she misses.
She missed a Thursday vote on a resolution asserting that President Donald Trump must seek approval from Congress before engaging in further military action against Iran.
Kirkpatrick, 69, has positioned herself as a moderate in Congress, representing parts of Arizona for most of the past decade, including rural and conservative areas.
She currently represents a swing district in Tucson and southeastern Arizona that Republicans are targeting in the 2020 election. Seven Republicans have filed paperwork to challenge Kirkpatrick in November.
She previously represented a different swing district in northern and eastern Arizona before she ran unsuccessfully against Republican Sen. John McCain in 2016.
McCain's widow, Cindy McCain, who has been open about her own struggles with addiction to prescription pain pills three decades ago, said on Twitter that she's "sending lots of support and friendship to @RepKirkpatrick."
Before her first run for Congress in 2008, Kirkpatrick was a state lawmaker, prosecutor and attorney.
Rep. Paul Gosar, a Republican who unseated Kirkpatrick in a 2010 House race, tweeted that he's keeping her in his thoughts. Kirkpatrick won the seat back after Gosar switched to a different district for the 2012 election.
"There are many stressors in this business and at every reception and dinner alcohol is provided," he wrote. "It's easy — too easy — to become addicted and I wish god speed to my colleague, my friend and my fellow Arizonan. God bless you Ann."

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump says he wants to deliver the State of the Union as scheduled even if his impeachment trial is ongoing.
Trump told reporters in Davos, Switzerland on Wednesday that delivering the annual address on Feb. 4 is "very important to what I am doing" in setting his administration's agenda.
by DARLENE SUPERVILLE, Associated Press / Jan 22, 2020
DAVOS, Switzerland (AP) — President Donald Trump lashed out at his accusers in the Senate impeachment trial on Wednesday but broke with some of his defenders as he reiterated his preference for witnesses to be called in the proceedings.
Leaving the World Economic Forum in Switzerland, Trump called a surprise news conference Wednesday to mark a "tremendous two days" at the glitzy summit of world leaders and financiers in Davos, Switzerland, which has served as a respite from the trial underway in Washington.
