Moto2 & Moto3: KTM Promotes Fernandez & Acosta

KTM GP ACADEMY WELCOMES FERNANDEZ MOTO2 GRADUATION FOR 2021 AS RED BULL KTM AJO BRING ACOSTA INTO MOTO3
MotoGP 2020 news
The KTM GP Academy structure is now set for 2021 with recent Grand Prix winner Raul Fernandez joining Remy Gardner in Moto2. The Spaniard's vacant saddle on the Red Bull KTM Ajo KTM RC4 will be filled by 2020 Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup Champion Pedro Acosta, who lines-up alongside Jaume Masia in Moto3.
20-year old Fernandez has shone in his first year with the Red Bull KTM Ajo team in the Moto3 division. Prior to the season-ending Grand Prix in Portugal, the Spaniard has used the KTM RC4 to clock five Pole Positions and register three podium finishes, including his maiden victory at the Ricardo Tormo Circuit in Valencia. The former Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup race winner and FIM CEV Repsol Moto3 Junior World Champion has moved from outside the top twenty in the Moto3 standings to the fringes of the top five and after two full seasons is now ready for the next stage of his development in the intermediate category and the second level of the KTM GP Academy and Ajo Motorsport career 'ladder'.
KTM are keen to give a window of opportunity to another shining Spanish prospect in the form of Pedro Acosta. The 16-year old decimated the 2020 Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup, claiming the title with two rounds before the end of the contest. Acosta showed pace, adaptation and tenacity to blitz the competition with six consecutive wins at two very different circuits and a further three podium results from the fourteen outings. He also posted four victories in the 2020 FIM CEV Repsol Moto3 Junior World Championship, finishing 3rd overall. Acosta could well learn from Jaume Masia; the promising 20-year old Spaniard has already climbed the rostrum seven times during his three-year Moto3 tenure so far.
Raul Fernandez: "I want to thank the whole team, KTM, Red Bull and, above all, Aki for believing in me. It is an important step in my sporting career and I am very happy to continue growing with this structure. It is a great opportunity that I know I will enjoy a lot alongside some incredible people. This is a new stage, which brings me closer to every rider's dream: to be in MotoGP. Red Bull KTM Ajo are the best team in Moto2, so this announcement is an honor for me. I only have words of thanks for them and for my family, who have always been by my side supporting me."

Pedro Acosta: "It's incredible to receive this opportunity from Red Bull, KTM and Ajo Motorsport. I want to thank all of them. For me, being on this team means being part of the best Moto3 team around. It will be my first year in the FIM World Championship, so we will have to wait for the first race to see where we are and then set realistic goals. During the first half of the season we will have to focus our efforts on adapting to the workload as it will be different to what I am used to in the Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup and in the FIM CEV. I am going to do my best to make this learning process fruitful."
Aki Ajo, Red Bull KTM Ajo Team Principal: "We are very happy to announce that Raul will make the move up to Moto2 next year. Despite having been a hectic year, he has been able to show a strong pace and rapid progress. We feel now is a good time for him to start in Moto2. We know he has a great future ahead, although we have to give him time to adapt to the new class. We have established a really strong relationship and he is a very hard-working kid. The project with Raul is very important for Red Bull, KTM and our whole racing family. We had good rookies in our projects in the past, and having a new talent with us again is a very positive thing. We have met and talked to Pedro [Acosta] on several occasions and I've seen something in his way of working that resembles an old-school style that I really liked. I feel that with him we have a good chance of success in the future, although we mustn't forget that he will need time."
Pit Beirer, KTM Motorsports Director: "We couldn't be happier with the shape of our KTM GP Academy for 2021. We have an exciting mix and we know that every single rider from Moto3, Moto2 and MotoGP has the possibility to deliver the results and racing stories for the company. They will have the best possible support from us to achieve their goals. I want to thank Aki again for the excellent structure he puts in place to help us make a strategy and a program. We have already shown that we are ready to bring riders all the way from the Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup – and hopefully other feeder series like the Northern Talent Cup – to the pinnacle of MotoGP and we are ready to excel, as demonstrated by the two victories and seven podiums between three riders so far in 2020. We'll be looking for the KTM GP Academy to bring us more very soon."

Building #13 was a semi-legal multiple collective live-work and performance space in Olneyville, Rhode Island. It was housed in 36 Manton Avenue, one of the largest industrial buildings in the state. In 2013, the residents were evicted and the Olneyville Housing Corporation acquired the building. These collective live-work spaces played an important role in cultural regeneration of the city as well as preserving the buildings against further decay. This role was under-recognized by the political and economic forces of the city. Delta_Ark tried to bring attention to that role through the construction of several installations.
For the first installation, Delta_Ark took over a room and converted it into a projection space; a projection was created for the glass facing the street that spoke to the current state of the building. For the second installation, the former occupants were interviewed about their time in the building and their interviews were distilled into short texts that were wrapped into a network diagram and projected in the nearby area. For the final installation, Delta_Ark kept a record of explorations of similar spaces throughout Providence. This record was distilled to short texts that were projected throughout the city.

Escobar HR, single lead Nats past Padres in series finale
By The Associated PressJuly 19, 2021 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — Alcides Escobar homered in the eighth inning and hit a winning single in the ninth Sunday as the Washington Nationals wrapped up a disturbing weekend with an 8-7 win over the San Diego Padres.
A day after the game was suspended in the sixth inning because of a shooting outside Nationals Park, the Padres completed a 10-4 victory. Washington then came back to end a six-game losing streak.
Tres Barrera singled off Mark Melancon (2-2) with one out in the ninth and, after failing on a bunt attempt, Victor Robles was hit by pitch. Escobar hit a flyball that center fielder Trent Grisham couldn't corral and Barrera scored.
Brad Hand (5-2) earned the victory. Juan Soto joined Josh Harrison with three hits and added a two-run homer.
Manny Machado, Eric Hosmer and Jackson Profar homered for the Padres.
Nationals ace Max Scherzer allowed four runs on four hits in seven innings. He struck out eight.
In the completion of Saturday's suspended game, Fernando Tatis Jr. had his third four-hit game of the season and scored twice for the Padres, and Tommy Pham had three hits and two walks.
Reliever Craig Stammen (4-2) pitched a scoreless fifth inning for the win. Starter Blake Snell allowed four runs on six hits and four walks in four innings.
Nationals starter Patrick Corbin (6-8) gave up six runs on 10 hits and four walks in 5 1/3 innings.
YANKEES 9, RED SOX 1
NEW YORK (AP) — Gleyber Torres and Rougned Odor homered to back another strong start from Jameson Taillon as depleted New York beat Boston.
Playing without All-Star slugger Aaron Judge and five of his teammates who also tested positive for COVID-19 recently, the Yankees won their second straight against rival Boston.
Taillon (5-4) pitched 5 1/3 scoreless innings of four-hit ball in his 100th major league start.
Ryan LaMarre added a two-run homer in the eighth and DJ LeMahieu extended his on-base streak to 30 games, longest in the big leagues this season, with a single that set up a third-inning run.
Martín Pérez (7-6) took the loss.
WHITE SOX 4, ASTROS 0
CHICAGO (AP) -- Carlos Rodón allowed one hit through seven dominant innings, Yoán Moncada and Tim Anderson hit solo homers and Chicago topped Houston.
Danny Mendick and Adam Engel added RBI singles, and the White Sox stymied Astros hitters for the second straight game after losing their first five this season to Houston — and being outscored 34-9 in those contests. Chicago has won seven of eight to move to the top of the American League standings.
Abraham Toro's sharp single past Mendick at second in the third inning was the only hit off Rodón (8-3) and accounted for Houston's only baserunner. The big left-hander struck out 10 in this meeting of division leaders.
Framber Valdez (5-2) yielded four runs and seven hits in 6 1/3 innings, striking out four and walking two.
MARINERS 7, ANGELS 4
ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) -- Ty France hit a three-run homer, Logan Gilbert struck out a career-high nine and Seattle defeated Los Angeles despite Shohei Ohtani's 34th homer of the season.
Ohtani added to his major league-leading home run total in the ninth inning, hitting his first since the All-Star break.
David Fletcher's 26-game hitting streak ended when he went 0 for 5. The streak was the second-longest in franchise history for the Angels.
Luis Torrens also went deep for the Mariners, who have won five of their last seven. His solo shot off Patrick Sandoval (2-4) in the fourth inning was his ninth of the season and extended Seattle's lead to 3-0.
Gilbert (4-2) allowed two runs on four hits in 5 1/3 innings. The right-hander struck out six of the first seven batters he faced as he improved to 4-0 in his last seven starts.
PHILLIES 4, MARLINS 2, 1ST GAME
PHILLIES 7, MARLINS 4, 2ND GAME
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — J.T. Realmuto followed a two-run walk-off homer in the completion of a suspended game with a 3-for-5 performance with two RBIs and Philadelphia beat Miami in the regularly scheduled series finale.
Realmuto's two-run 10th-inning homer gave the Phillies a win in the conclusion to Saturday's suspended game.
Andrew McCutchen and Didi Gregorius also homered in the scheduled game for the Phillies, who rallied from a 4-2 deficit to give starting pitcher Zack Wheeler the win.
Adam Duvall hit his 20th homer of the season for the Marlins, who have lost six of their past eight games.
Wheeler went six innings, allowing six hits and four earned runs while striking out seven to improve to 7-5. Hector Neris pitched the ninth inning for his 12th save.
METS 7, PIRATES 6
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Michael Conforto hit a two-run homer in the ninth inning to complete a rally from six runs down and New York overcame an embarrassing gaffe by All-Star pitcher Taijuan Walker to beat Pittsburgh.
Conforto connected off closer Richard Rodriguez (4-2). Dominic Smith led off the ninth with a single and Conforto followed with his fourth homer.
Walker, hurt himself with a huge misplay in the first inning.
Bryan Reynolds hit an RBI single and John Nogowski doubled for a quick 3-0 lead, and two walks loaded the bases with one out.
Kevin Newman hit a dribbler down the third base line and the ball started out in foul territory, but then began spinning back toward the line. Walker swooped in and swatted at the ball, trying to make contact while it was still in foul ground. But TV replays showed the ball was touching the chalk when Walker hit it, and plate umpire Jeremy Riggs correctly called it a fair ball.
Walker turned to argue the call as the ball rolled toward the Pirates dugout, and no Mets reacted to retrieve it. The three Pittsburgh runners took off and kept running, and all came around to score.
The Mets began to rally with Smith's RBI single in the third. In the fourth, pinch-hitter Travis Blankenhorn hit his first major league homer, a three-run shot to the riverwalk beyond right-center field to make it 6-4.
Jeff McNeil scored on right fielder Gregory Polanco's throwing error in the sixth to bring the Mets to within a run.
Jeurys Familia (5-1) pitched two innings. Trevor May earned his second save.
BLUE JAYS 5, RANGERS 0, 1st GAME
BLUE JAYS 10, RANGERS 0, 2nd GAME
BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) – Hyun Jin Ryu threw a three-hitter in the opener, and Steven Matz and two relievers combined for another shutout in the second game as Toronto blanked Texas in both halves of a doubleheader.
It was the first time the Blue Jays swept a doubleheader with two shutouts in team history. It was the first time the Rangers were shut out twice in a day since the team moved to Texas.
Lourdes Gurriel Jr. hit a first-inning grand slam, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. slugged his 31st homer of the season, and George Springer and Randal Grichuk also went deep for Toronto in the second game. Danny Jansen homered in the first game.
Rangers starter Mike Foltyniewicz (2-9) allowed all 10 runs on eight hits in 1 2/3 innings of the second game. Matz (8-4) allowed three hits in five innings.
Ryu (9-5) went the full seven innings in the first game, striking out four and walking one in his first shutout since May 7, 2019. Kolby Allard (2-6) allowed five runs, seven hits and a walk over 5 1/3 innings.
INDIANS 4, ATHLETICS 2
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) -- Bradley Zimmer had three hits, including a home run on All-Star Chris Bassitt's first pitch, to help Cleveland beat Oakland.
Daniel Johnson, who grew up about 30 minutes north of the Coliseum and had a group of family and friends in attendance, connected for his first career home run and made a sparkling defensive play to help the Indians win their fifth in six games.
Zach Plesac (5-3) pitched six strong innings to win in his second start since breaking his right thumb while taking off his jersey in late May. Nick Wittgren and Phil Maton retired three batters apiece. Bryan Shaw pitched the ninth for his second save.
Seth Brown hit his 11th home run for Oakland.
Bassitt (10-3) had eight strikeouts and allowed three runs in seven innings.
RAYS 7, BRAVES 5
ATLANTA (AP) — Yandy Diaz homered during a four-run rally in the seventh inning and Tampa Bay beat Atlanta.
The Rays completed their 28th come-from-behind win and took two of three in the series.
A.J. Minter (1-4) took the loss.
Wander Franco's third homer in the sixth off Braves starter Drew Smyly made it 3-all.
Tampa Bay starter Rich Hill allowed three runs in four innings. Left-hander Jeffrey Springs (5-1) gave up one hit while recording two outs. Pete Fairbanks pitched the ninth for his fifth save.
Veteran catcher Stephen Vogt, acquired by Atlanta from Arizona late Friday night, drove in a run and got three hits in his Braves debut. Joc Pederson drove in two runs with two hits in his second start as the Braves' right fielder and leadoff hitter.
ROCKIES 6, DODGERS 5, 10 INNINGS
DENVER (AP) — Charlie Blackmon hit a solo homer in the bottom of the 10th inning, leading Colorado over Los Angeles.
Trevor Story hit a tying sacrifice fly and Blackmon followed with a drive to right off Phil Bickford (0-1) that gave Colorado the victory.
Will Smith, who homered earlier, singled off Mychal Givens (3-2) in the top of the 10th, scoring the automatic runner and putting Los Angeles up 5-4. But the Dodgers could not hold on. Their winning streak ended at four, and their eight-game run against the Rockies was also snapped.
Justin Turner also homered for the Dodgers.
CARDINALS 2, GIANTS 1
ST. LOUIS (AP) — Harrison Bader put St. Louis ahead with a checked-swing single off the glove of first basemen LaMonte Wade Jr. in the seventh inning in a win over San Francisco.
The Cardinals won the season series, taking two out of three against the Giants in both series against them.
Matt Carpenter hooked a ground-rule double down the right-field line off former teammate John Brebbia (0-1) in the seventh. José Rondón was brought in to pinch-run, and he advanced to third on a flyout by Paul DeJong (homer). With the infield in, Bader hit a grounder that deflected off Wade's glove, scoring Rondón.
Darin Ruf hit his 10th home run of the season for the Giants.
Génesis Cabrera (2-3) earned the win; Alex Reyes recorded his 22nd save in 22 chances.
DIAMONDBACKS 6, CUBS 4
PHOENIX (AP) — Merrill Kelly threw eight solid innings, Eduardo Escobar hit a two-run homer and Arizona avoided a three-game sweep with a win over Chicago.

Sonny Gray (2-5) took the loss.
TIGERS 7, TWINS 0
DETROIT (AP) -- Jeimer Candelario homered, drove in three runs and started two double plays as Detroit finished a weekend sweep of Minnesota.
The game was the seventh in a row between the teams. Minnesota swept a four-game series at home immediately before the All-Star break before losing three in Detroit. The series was scheduled for four games, but Friday's doubleheader was rained out. The Tigers swept a doubleheader on Saturday.
Wily Peralta (3-1) pitched seven shutout innings for the second time in three starts, allowing four hits and four walks while striking out four. Peralta, who was aided by four double plays, is 3-1 with a 0.34 ERA in his last five starts.

ORIOLES 5, ROYALS 0
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) -- Matt Harvey ended his nine-game losing skid with his best performance in years, pitching six crisp innings and sending Baltimore over Kansas City.
Harvey (4-10) had been winless in 12 starts since his previous victory on May 1. The former All-Star allowed just three singles, walked one and struck out two against his former team. Harvey's six innings matched his season high. This was the first time since September 2018 that Harvey pitched at least six innings and didn't allow a run.
Carlos Hernandez (1-1) allowed two runs on two hits and two walks over four innings in his second career start.

The Missale Romanum reminds us that the Easter Vigil is the "mother of all vigils," the "greatest and most noble of all solemnities." On this night, the Church keeps watch, celebrating the resurrection of Christ in the sacraments and awaiting his return in glory. It is the turning point of the Triduum, the Passover of the new covenant, which marks Christ's passage from death to life.

Modelling of forefoot injuries caused by brake pedal loading – a finite element analysis case study

Lower extremity injuries, in particular the foot/ankle are one of the most common in automotive crashes.[1] Although not life threatening, they can lead to long term medical complications or permanent disability[²]. In most cases foot and/or ankle fractures are caused during frontal automotive crashes, while the driver attempts an emergency brake and the foot is subject to crash loading [³]. In these cases, fractures of the forefoot, in particular the metatarsals are very common [4] and range from simple fractures to severe crush injuries [5]. The location of metatarsal fractures in a car crash victim can be dictated by the loading pattern [5]. However, there is little information about whether the pedal has an effect on the mechanism or extent of injury. In order to evaluate the effect of brake pedal loading on the injury tolerance of the metatarsal, a computer based finite element analysis was performed to assess the regional capabilities in terms of loading transmission around the forefoot.
A Finite Element (FE) model of the foot and ankle was developed from a 3D reconstruction of CT images [6] of a female subject using Simpleware (Simpleware® Ltd) segmentation software. The model was then imported into ANSYS Workbench for FE analysis (ANSYS® Academic Research, Release 14.0). Material properties for the analysis were assumed to be homogenous and linearly isotropic. The cortical and simple ligamentous structures attaching the bones together were modelled. Variable pedal forces obtained from automobile crash data were applied to the forefoot region (i.e. ball of the foot) of the model, and the loading patterns of stress were analysed (Figure 1).
Flow chart of method
The maximum stresses and angles of deflection were obtained from applying a range of pedal forces (2kN-10kN). The resultant predicted loading patterns for the metatarsals were then analysed (Figure 2). The highest stresses were found at the smallest cross-sections of the metatarsals. Although bending stresses increase with increasing distance from the point of load application, the larger cross-sections compensate for this effect.
Equivalent Stress Distribution
The results of the current study show that the locations of the maximum stresses appear on the second and third metatarsals. This compares with findings from crash data.

108 fans have viewed Dave Matthews Band tickets today!
Dave Matthews Band is an American jam rock and fusion outfit hailing from Charlottesville, Virginia. Formed in 1991, the band currently consists of eponymous frontman Dave Matthews alongside founding members Stefan Lessard and Carter Beauford on bass and drums respectively, as well as Jeff Coffin, Boyd Tinsley, Tim Reynolds, and Rashawn Ross.
Known for their eclectic mix of styles and diverse sound, which draws influence from folk, blues, funk, pop, alternative, grunge, bluegrass, and even jazz, the band have shifted more than 30million records worldwide, but are still probably best known for their live gigs.
That being said, Dave Matthews Band are seriously popular in North America, and their last six studio albums have climbed to the top of the charts in the US. 1996's 'Crash' has even been ranked 7x platinum, while loads of their live records have earned the certification too - even though they allow fans to record their live shows themselves anyway!
In January 2018, Dave Matthews Band announced that they'll soon be releasing their long-awaited ninth record, 'Come Tomorrow' and will be touring North America through summer too. The record dropped in June 2018, topping the Billboard 200.
Known for their constant touring, Dave Matthews Band hit up London in March shows as part of a European tour in spring, followed an extensive tour of the US. Catch him live by checking out the tour dates and concert ticket information below on Stereoboard.
Oops, no Dave Matthews Band events are currently scheduled in United Kingdom. Get an ALERT when new shows are announced near you!

Photo: René Huemer Dave Matthews Band have announced two London shows as part of a European tour.
Photo: René Huemer The phrase 'make love not war' perfectly sums up 'Come Tomorrow', a record that finds Dave Matthews Band veering away from their usual forays into genre-twisting jam band territory and socially conscious songwriting. Although musically and thematically less dynamic than past efforts, it is abundant with heart, soul and spirit as it strives to remind us that love, in all its various guises, is still alive in this crazy world of ours.
Dave Matthews Band have shared a new single.

United Airlines Announces $150 Million Investment for Newark Liberty Airport Hub
By Paul Riegler on 8 April 2013
A United Airlines 777 at Newark Liberty
United Airlines announced plans to invest $150 million in what it termed ongoing improvements at its hub at Terminal C at Newark Liberty International Airport. The move is in concert with a 20-year extension of its lease at the airport with the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.
The immediate improvements include updates to Terminal C's concourse areas and include a $100 million inline baggage screening system that moves luggage from the check-in counter to the aircraft. The airline also announced it was building a widebody maintenance hangar at the airport as well as building a new catering facility.
United flies over 400 flights daily to more than 150 destinations on four continents from Newark. In addition to domestic flights, this includes other countries in North America and cities in South America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.
United Airlines and its United Express carriers are the exclusive tenants of Terminal C. Two predecessors of United Airlines, namely Continental and People Express, had hubs at Newark as well.

What Is Covered By The Timeshare Maintenance Fees?
Many people who buy timeshare properties buy it with an agenda of saving money during the vacations as well as having an enjoyable experience than just a typical trip. However, a large number of timeshare buyers later realize that they have not carried out proper research only for them to realize later that there is more to buying a timeshare property than just the initial cost. Some of the costs that are involved, other than the initial buying costs are the maintenance fees as well as other added costs that you will be expected to pay once you become the owner of the timeshare.
For most properties, timeshare fees are easy to understand especially for any home owner. There are unending repairs and other maintenance tasks that must be attended on regular basis. Maintenance fees ensure that you do not have a handyman during their vacations. You can inquire the condition of your house before you embark on the vacation trip. Paying your maintenance fees on time enables you to have a heaven-on-earth vacation at whatever time that you may prefer.
The amount of the maintenance fees that need to be paid often vary from one Timeshare Company to another. Besides the amount being dependent on the timeshare company, it is also dependent on the location of the timeshare as well as its amenities. For instance, a timeshare that is located in Hawaii will have a higher maintenance fees that a similar quality timeshare located in an area like Cape Cod. Basically the maintenance fees usually range from $20 to $2000.
For you to avoid issues with high and unrealistic maintenance fees, it is advisable to seek advice from a reputable timeshare agency such as Leisure Getaways Incorporated. With them they will clearly state list the exact things that are covered by the maintenance fees. For example, the access to social amenities such as pools, sport courts, attracts a higher maintenance fee than that which you would pay for just maintaining the lawn and keeping the compound clean and tidy.
When buying a resale timeshare property, it is very important to look for any additional assessments that would lead to a higher fee. There has been an occasion whereby someone may not be able to pay for some accrued fees and thus they try to sell their timeshare property before the payment date comes. It is thus important to ensure that you understand any type of details that include both the normal and any additional assessments.
Purchase a timeshare is a great way of enjoying luxurious vocational homes without having to pay anything for it. However, it is necessary to compare the total cost of the timeshare and see whether it fits to your budget. Thus it is important to understand what is involved in the whole process and all that is associated with it. And if you are unsure of what you want, it is always advisable to consult a timeshare agency like Leisure Getaways Incorporated to guide you through the whole process.


The party is favored Tuesday despite unfavorable maps, a glut of GOP outside money, and messy primaries.
Nov. 5, 2018, 11:03 a.m.
It took eight years, but here on the eve of the midterm elections Democrats appear to have finally worked their way around the roadblocks that stymied past attempts to reclaim the House majority.
Their candidates are dominating the airwaves despite well over $100 million in Republican outside-group money. More than a dozen heavily gerrymandered seats are firmly in play, as are numerous traditionally Republican suburbs. And impressive recruits with crossover-support-winning résumés emerged largely unscathed from months of sometimes vicious primary battles.
It's ultimately all thanks to their biggest foil: President Trump.
In interviews, few Democratic strategists said they could have predicted the commanding position they now hold heading into Tuesday. In late 2017—as Trump's approval ratings dwindled, a flood of well-funded candidates opened up a massive battlefield, and a Republican rout in Virginia nearly flipped the lower chamber—party strategists still cautioned the path to the majority was littered with barricades in individual districts.
A year later, operatives from both parties have marveled at how Democrats have overcome hurdles such as $30 million checks from Sheldon Adelson to Republican super PACs and a map centered around the priciest media markets.
Democrats' ability to turn a fundraising windfall into a massive television advantage has proven to be one of their most crucial assets. Democratic House candidates and incumbents collectively raised more than $239 million in the third quarter, according to an analysis of Federal Election Commission filings, while Republicans brought in $111 million, less than half as much.
In the past three cycles, outside groups have been able to shore up the battleground as needed in the final weeks, crafting a firewall to insulate GOP members from an unpredictable environment. They appeared to once again have the resources in 2018, as the Congressional Leadership Fund raised a whopping $160 million and funneled $107 million onto the airwaves in 45 districts, according to recent media-buying data.
But unprecedented Democratic fundraising, buoyed by small-dollar donations, allowed candidates to air TV ads early, sometimes before the onslaught of negative attacks. And they maintained an edge into the post-Labor Day portion of the cycle, when crucial swing voters began tuning in.
At least 40 Democratic candidates got on the air in August or earlier, per an analysis of media-buying data in 75 top House races. And in at least three dozen districts, the Democratic candidate was the top TV spender, beating the Republican candidate and major GOP outside groups as of early November.
A party committee or major allied super PAC has spent in more than 70 districts, the vast majority of which are held by Republicans. That's a testament to the success of Democrats' strategy to create a massive battlefield that would exhaust GOP resources.
Republicans hoped messy primaries would lead to broke and tarnished nominees who took left-leaning positions unpalatable to swing voters, but Democrats largely cleared that hurdle as well. More than half of the 92 nominees on the DCCC's Red to Blue list, which identifies top challengers, faced contested primaries. Democratic strategists pointed to only two examples where the primary outcome might hinder their general-election chances: an Omaha-based district in Nebraska and a Syracuse-area seat in New York.
And nominees who navigated some of the more intense primary battles, such as Katie Porter in California and Antonio Delgado in New York, still enjoyed a commanding cash lead. Both outraised opponents 3 to 1 the quarter after their primary and have spent millions more on the air in two of the most expensive markets.
DCCC officials in charge of fielding candidates said they would rather endure messy primaries than suffer the recruitment struggles from the past two cycles. An early sign of Trump's impact came in 2017 when Democrats saw an avalanche of interest in running for office from candidates with compelling biographies, such as veterans and popular state legislators.
Dozens of candidates attributed their motivation for running to Trump, whose political rise came too late in the 2016 cycle to serve as recruitment tool then. But DCCC recruiters knew Trump had the ability to coax top-tier contenders. In 2016, he helped them entice now-Rep. Stephanie Murphy, a Vietnamese refugee-turned national security specialist, to enter the race against 12-term Rep. John Mica of Florida on the eve of the late June filing deadline.
This year the president's diminished vote shares in previously conservative strongholds opened up new targets in places such as Orange County, but Democrats were finally able to field credible candidates in districts that long had the potential to be competitive, such as those held by Reps. Tom MacArthur and Rodney Frelinghuysen in New Jersey. In past years, national Democrats were particularly frustrated by their inability to recruit in the Midwest, a region now hosting dozens of competitive races.
Those recruits enlarged the battlefield, which strategists said appears all the more remarkable because of how many Republican-drawn gerrymanders are in play. Democrats still insist the unfavorable lines could greatly limit their gains this year, but few think they will block the majority.
Court-ordered redistricting this year in Pennsylvania handed Democrats a far more level playing field than the 2011 GOP-drawn map, which helped Republicans control 13 of the 18 seats in the delegation at the start of the cycle. Democrats will net at least two seats under the new lines and could gain as many as six.
Beyond that, about 20 heavily gerrymandered districts are competitive this cycle, including four in Michigan, three in North Carolina, and several in Ohio—three areas where Democrats haven't been successful picking up seats this decade.
Gerrymandering experts and operatives from both parties mostly offered two explanations for the 2018 dynamic. Gerrymanders grow weaker as the lines age, because of changing demographics that can be hard to predict. That helps explain why GOP Reps. Peter Roskam and Randy Hultgren are locked in tight reelections despite Democratic mapmakers drawing their suburban Chicago districts to be Republican vote-sinks.
But Democrats have long contended that the 2011 maps are so effectively drawn to elect Republicans that they even account for population changes. That's where Trump plays a role. The president's sharp unpopularity in affluent suburban districts realigned swaths of once-reliable Republican voters who can't stomach his brash demeanor or nationalistic leanings.
"Natural growth minus the Trump effect would not overcome the gerrymandered structural barrier," said Kelly Ward, a two-term DCCC executive director who now leads the National Democratic Redistricting Committee.
In an effort to maximize the number of seats they held after the 2010 GOP wave, Republicans created scores of seats where their candidates could win with about 55 percent of the vote, a margin that creates more GOP-held districts under a normal environment but leaves them more susceptible to getting caught in a wave.

Salvaging a small business during divorce
On Behalf of Law Office of Michael D. Tracton, P.C. | Aug 20, 2012 | Divorce
The livelihood of a Texas small business owner can be at stake during a divorce. A business is not like a car or a home, non-income producing marital assets which can often be sold readily or transferred to satisfy court-ordered property division.
Private businesses frequently represent a spouse's income lifeblood. The loss or depletion of a small business during divorce litigation can wipe out a lifetime of effort. That's why legal and financial experts recommend shoring up the asset before it becomes part of a divorce dispute.
Prenuptial agreements serve to protect individual financial interests in the event of divorce. When couples agree before marriage to define the ownership and distribution of separate and marital assets, both parties are prepared for the worst, even if it never occurs.
Detailed contracts can also be designed for business partnerships and with shareholders to lessen any impact an owner's divorce would have on a company.
Business owners who fail to take advance strategies to shield a company from property division fallout still have options to protect their investments.
Courts cannot make a determination about asset division without knowing how much a business is worth. The costs of having a business valued can be high. Often each spouse hires a separate expert to conduct the business valuation.
It can be much cheaper to agree on one third-party expert to dive into the company's books, if an ex-spouse and the court are agreeable. Efficient record keeping can trim costs by making business data easily accessible for a valuation expert.
Legal advisors recommend attaching a confidentiality agreement to the valuation to protect vulnerable business information.
Divorce settlements are often reached without the need for a business to be sold. A spouse who is a non-owner may accept a payoff, preferably over time. An installment arrangement could be a significant, long-term expense but it might also prevent a business from being dismantled by divorce.

Q: reformatting dataframe so every other value in series is used without nan edit: in response to Jezrael misunderstanding what I am looking to do.
Using his example: What I am hoping to do is keep rb85 and rb87 values separate. I am trying to take my columns of values and create a new df which is half the rows# and has columns composed of either exclusively the odd or even index of the original.
So rather than his example, I want to go from:
    rb85  rb87  rf85  rf87
0   7.0   NaN   3.0   NaN
1   NaN   5.0   NaN   4.0
2   9.0   NaN   9.0   NaN
3   NaN   5.0   NaN   5.0
4   2.0   NaN   2.0   NaN
5   NaN   4.0   NaN   4.0

to this:
   rb85  rb87  rf85  rf87
0   7.0   5.0   3.0   4.0
1   9.0   5.0   9.0   5.0
2   2.0   4.0   2.0   4.0

How can I add every other value in a series and avoid nans?
In my original data set I had two samples (rb85 and rb87) of data (shunt resistor or sr for short) taken sequentially ex: [sr85(1), sr87(1), sr85(2), sr87(2),...]
I am looking at how to take all rb85 (every even entry) and place it within its own series, and do the same for rb87 and both sample's output (rf85 and rf87).

A: EDIT: If possible, seelct each second column by indexing by DataFrame.iloc and then use DataFrame.shift, last remove only missing rows by DataFrame.dropna and how='all' parameter:
df.iloc[:, 1::2] = df.iloc[:, 1::2].shift(-1)
df = df.dropna(how='all')

Another solution with justify function:
df = pd.DataFrame(justify(df.values, invalid_val=np.nan, side='up', axis=0),
                  columns=df.columns).dropna(how='all')
print (df)

1   9.0   5.0   9.0   5.0
2   2.0   4.0   2.0   4.0

A: I have a few ideas on how this can be achieved depending on size of your data + how dynamic it needs to be. But just to answer your question you can shift back every second column by 1 row and then drop rows that are nan:
for col in df.columns[1::2]:
    df[col] = df[col].shift(-1)
df.dropna(inplace=True)

output

you can then reset index if needed

Xzaivier James, the girls varsity basketball coach at the Northridge High School girls varsity team, talks to players during a practice at the high school on Saturday, Jan. 5, 2018.

Northridge's record this season isn't what anyone wants it to be.
Wins and losses, though, aren't the immediate measuring stick for the Grizzlies girls basketball team. A program in transition, Northridge is being led by a new varsity coach, who at 27 is already a basketball lifer.
Xzaivier James, a former Greeley Central and University of Northern Colorado player, has worked in a local club program for nearly a decade and he's coached middle schoolers.
At Northridge, James is getting his first shot to lead a high school team. He was a Grizzlies assistant coach a year ago, and he's getting good reviews as the top guy even though the Grizzlies are 2-7 heading into Tuesday's game at Niwot.

(Natalie Dyer/For The Tribune).
James, who graduated from Greeley Central in 2010 and UNC in 2014, is interested in raising the level of girls basketball in all of Greeley, not just at Northridge. With the Colorado WAR, the Greeley-based club team founded by his father, Phillip Gallardo, James has a chance to work with athletes from different schools. He said the girls game can grow here, and he wants to be a part of that because then the Northridge program also benefits.
Basketball is only one part that growth. James said the scholastic athletes here should look at playing in college, and making the game part of their education.
His immediate concern is with Northridge. The school's varsity team last had a winning record four years ago when it finished 16-8 in 2014-15 under coach Jen Anderson. This year's Grizzlies varsity squad is a young one — only four seniors and one junior among the 13 players. The rest are freshman and sophomores and there are about a dozen more of these underclassmen on the junior varsity team.

(Natalie Dyer/For The Tribune).
Poland said last year James took players to the state tournament to give the athletes a look at the games at the highest scholastic levels. He's taken the players to camps, held clinics and open gyms — all in the name of helping the players get better. There have also been trips to Rockies games because James is equally concerned with connecting with the players.
With such a young team, the Grizzlies are a good news-bad news group. The good news is the majority of players are young. And with James' commitment to building a program on and off the court, the youth could bode well for the future. But, that youth isn't necessarily a good thing for the "now" when it's tough to look past the wins and the losses.
Over the three previous seasons, the Grizzlies girls varsity team has a combined 17-52 records after going 16-8 in 2014-15. First-year head coach Xzaivier James is trying to change the team and program fortunes and he's starting out with a lot of young players including on varsity team that's dominated by freshmen and sophomores.

How Oprah's former magazine publisher wants to transform the Dallas Entrepreneur Center
Filed under Entrepreneurs at Jul 2018
Melissa Repko, Staff Writer
Connect with Melissa Repko
Alyce Alston helped launch Oprah's magazine and spearhead a new jewelry company for diamond retailer De Beers. Now, the Dallas executive wants to fuel the success of Dallas entrepreneurs kickstarting their own ventures.
The former publishing executive is now chief executive at the Dallas Entrepreneur Center, a Dallas nonprofit that provides mentoring, networking and educational programs for aspiring founders and entrepreneurs. It recently moved its headquarters from downtown Dallas' West End to Oak Lawn. It is in the office of the Capital Factory, an Austin accelerator that's expanded to Dallas.
Dallas Entrepreneur Center to get new leader, new home in Oak Lawn
Alston takes the helm from Trey Bowles, co-founder and leader of the DEC for its first five years. The nonprofit has an outpost in Addison and will soon open three new centers in southern Dallas at the redeveloped Red Bird Mall, University of North Texas at Dallas and Paul Quinn College.
Want to see a business idea become reality in southern Dallas? Michelle Williams can help
In her new role, the SMU graduate said she wants to reach out to entrepreneurs of all ages, genders and backgrounds, raise funds to support the nonprofit's mission and advocate the importance of entrepreneurship to civic and business leaders. She recently spoke to The Dallas Morning News about her attraction to the role and plans for its future. Her answers have been edited for brevity and clarity.
Why did you want to lead the DEC and work with entrepreneurs?
I can't think of a more dynamic industry, truly. An industry of entrepreneurs is about as dynamic as it gets, so that's what attracts me. And secondly, I think there's an opportunity to build on what Trey [Bowles] has built thus far and to elevate the importance of entrepreneurs to civic and business leaders. Our entrepreneurs are the ones who help to define Dallas and grow and build the economy. And that needs to be prioritized with leaders across the city and stakeholders across the city.
Alyce Alston said she's eager to advocate for entrepreneurs after serving as a mentor at the Capital Factory.

It seems like one the recurring themes of your career has been launching new things, whether O, The Oprah Magazine, or De Beers Jewellers, a new venture initiated by diamond company DeBeers. Why is that something you enjoy?
I love innovation. I love doing things that have never been done before. I've done that in big business and I've done that in launch businesses. I feel like I'm an entrepreneur everywhere I go, no matter the size of the business.
With the DEC, it's at a different point. It's five years in, so you're not starting something. You're growing it. What are your goals coming into the organization?
First, I want to grow on the mission — to help entrepreneurs start, build and grow their businesses. I see us having the opportunity to grow over the next five years to build a more collaborative ecosystem that's maybe the largest one in the country. Why not?
Can Capital Factory do for Dallas startups what it did in Austin?
There are a lot of entrepreneurial hubs in Dallas, such as coworking spaces and startup accelerators like the Capital Factory. Where do you think the DEC fits in?
The DEC is a collaborator. To me, I see it as a gathering place for all stakeholders — your universities, your city, state and federal leaders, all of your innovation hubs and coworking spaces and entrepreneurs and bringing them all together under one umbrella. I see it as the tent pole to the tent because if we can have a collaborative ecosystem then we are all going to be stronger. Really, that's my role — not only to provide education, to provide community, to provide mentoring, but also to provide advocacy for entrepreneurs throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
Where would you like the DEC to go over the next five years? What are your main priorities?
Expanding our reach and our impact throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth area. And also, working with a wider range of entrepreneurs from startup to exit. Our programming has had more of an emphasis on launching and there is a need in the market to support entrepreneurs to their next stage after they raise their first round of funding.
I saw you are a mentor at Capital Factory. How did you start that?
I've been a mentor for eight years. I started when I was in Austin. This whole thing is completely natural to me. I feel like this whole thing [with getting the DEC position] was meant to be. Everything sort of unfolded. I have always been an innovator and entrepreneur. I was mentoring at the Capital Factory. I got my nonprofit experience at my previous role and now, here I am.
I love being a teacher, when I'm given the opportunity.
What kinds of struggles did you learn about from being a mentor?
It's everything. Finding good people is the hardest challenge and it's critical. It's one of the most important things you can do. But entrepreneurs need help on everything from building their first business deck to creating their first term sheet. It's a wide range of what the needs are.
More than anything, what I learned is they need community. They need each other.

Czechs to campaign against Neo Nazis
Photo: www.chceteho.cz
This week saw the launch of a new campaign aimed at raising awareness of right-wing extremism and neo-Nazism in the Czech Republic. The scheme is organised by the Czech NGO People in Need along with other groups. Their campaign is titled - "Who wants a Neo Nazi?"
Photo: Stepanka Budkova
In the course of the past year the problem of right-wing extremism in the Czech Republic has come very much to the fore, with numerous rallies and marches taking place in Prague and Brno. For instance a Neo-Nazi gathering in Prague held on the anniversary of Kristallnacht, the Nazi pogrom on Jews on November 10th, and another rally held in Brno last May were the largest of the sort in five years. The authorities had no legal means to prevent them from taking place although the police were out in force to maintain law and order. Ilona Labutova from People in Need, says it is high time for a campaign against this phenomenon in the Czech Republic:
Television and cinema adverts, as well as a song launched this week, will use a twist of dark humour to get the message across. The message itself, however, is serious and is aimed at making the wider community aware of the dangers of tolerating or even becoming involved in Neo Nazi activities. Ilona Labutova explains who the campaign is trying to target and why:
"There are two sides to this project. The first step is an educational program aimed at people aged between 15 and 25, and to some extent also suitable for primary schools. And the second part is the campaign starting today which targets the whole public. We will show two film clips about Neo Nazism and extremism on TV and in the cinema. We will present one song, written by Jan Budar, a well known songwriter in the Czech Republic, and we will also show the video which has been made for this as well."
Seminars held in schools will be used to stimulate discussion and understanding of the problem. And the campaign, which will last all year, aims to spread the message that everyone has a responsibility to prevent right-wing extremism taking hold. As well as the main advertising drive, there are also other one-off events planned. One such event coming up, combining live music from diverse European acts with political debate and discussion will take place at Prague's Roxy club, a popular music venue, later this month. Ilona Labutova from People in Need once more:
"It's a big 'happening' which will start on the 24th of April in Roxy- it will be a big concert, a very multicultural event. But it will not be just the concert, there will be events held all day in Roxy, for instance in NoD, which is the upstairs space of the club, where there will be a discussion with politicians about related legislation and about how the situation may be changed. There will be a lot of experts on these issues and discussions with young people. We will show these film clips there as well."

Q: How make for checkbox(boolean) @api.onchage or on change in odoo? I have two class test.test
class test_test(osv.Model):
     _name="test.test"
     _columns = {
           'field1':fields.boolean("Test"),
        }

class reset_reset(osv.Model):
     _name="reset.reset"
     _columns = {
           'field2':fields.boolean("Reset"),
        }

I want to write onchange funtion  if I clicked on 'field1' field from test.test  the 'field2' field from reset.reset should be auto clicked
same thing should reversed like
field2 unchecked field1 also has to be unchecked

A: I suppose you are using odoo 7, then you have to put your on_change into the view. But the two models should be in a one2many relation or else you won't be able to see them in the same view.


You don't have to be near an ocean to find an awesome beach this summer. Here's proof.
"Trust me, it feels kind of like you're at the ocean, just with gentler waves, no salt and no sharks," my husband teased on the way to my first trip to a beach along the Great Lakes. I can't recall exactly what I expected, but I do remember being stunned at seeing the water along Lake Erie stretch out as far as I could see with sandy beaches, gentle waves and all the trappings of a great beach — sun-drenched groups playing volleyball in the sand, big umbrellas marking sunbathers' spots along the surf and a lighthouse in the distance to frame the whole scene.
Thanks to the Great Lakes and other bodies of water farther inland, the Midwest region happens to have some of the most stunning beaches in the country. When you need a beach fix, you don't have to travel to an ocean; instead, you can take a trip to America's heartland to enjoy a day in the sun, and sand.
Here are a few beaches that might not be anywhere near an ocean, but are definitely worth breaking out the suntan lotion for a summer visit.
In the far northern part of Iowa near the border with Minnesota, the Okoboji, area is known as Iowa's Great Lakes. The chain of five connected lakes offer a number of fantastic beach options. Arnolds Beach includes a variety of activities once you're done swimming or sunbathing – rent jet skis, play volleyball or try parasailing.

Bordering four of the five Great Lakes, Michigan boasts impressive stretches of coastline, making it the state with the longest freshwater coastline in the U.S., and depending on the source, the second longest coastline just after Alaska. While there are plenty of beaches peppered along the coastline, for a concentration of some of the most picturesque, head to Traverse City, and take your pick from a few great ones – including the popular Clinch Park Beach. Located right in Traverse City, you can spend some time in the sun, then walk into the cozy downtown for something to eat. Explore nearby Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore while you're in the neighborhood.

With a mile-long stretch of sand (the largest in the state) Headlands Beach State Park in Mentor, OH, is a sunbathers paradise where you can lay out your towel for a day soaking in the rays to the soundtrack of waves. From the beach you can spy the nearby Fairport Harbor Lighthouse.
With over 15 miles of shoreline to choose from, finding just the right beach is purely a matter of choice when it comes to visiting the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore. Many people choose to spend part of the day hiking through the dunes – some can reach as high as 125 feet. To dip your toes in the surf, try Lake View Beach, a favorite of visitors with its covered picnic spots and parking lot close to the sand.
How to eat a tenderloin is up to you. Where to eat a tenderloin? We've got you covered.
Perhaps one of the most popular beach locales in the state, Ludington, MI, features feathery-soft sand that just begs for you to walk along the shoreline. Frequent visitors will tell you to save time to go see the marshlands, forests and wildlife in and around Ludington State Park's beach. They'll also tell you to be sure to arrive back at the beach near sunset for a spectacular view.

As part of a sand dune that fingers between Lake Superior's far western edge and Duluth Harbor in Duluth, MN, Park Point Beach offers a long stretch of velvety sand. The often chilly temps in Lake Superior might deter any but the heartiest of swimmers from spending too much time in the water (plus, locals will tell you to watch out for riptides). But that will leave you more time to watch for wildlife, like songbirds, along with seeing barges go by.
Getting to Schoolhouse Beach on the northern part of Washington Island in Door County, can be a trek. But it's an adventure worth taking to this remote harbor hideaway that's pebbled not with sand, but white, limestone rocks. The rocks along the shoreline can be rough, but take off your shoes and venture into the surf where the rocks have been worn smooth. The beach is also known for its clear, crisp and clean waters.

"Earth to Echo": From "The Blair Witch Project" to "Cloverfield" to "Paranormal Activity," found-footage movies have provided big jolts on relatively small budgets. That ought to work for kids, too, right? Here's hoping, especially in a summer short on family films. In "Earth to Echo," three kids find a mysterious visitor in the desert near their Nevada homes — yes, there are strong echoes of "E.T." — and share their resulting adventures on YouTube.
"The Unknown Known": Here's a known known: When he was an envoy to the Middle East, Donald Rumsfeld described the region as a swamp, where nothing was lasting but conflict, blackmail and killing. As Iraq unravels, it's not clear why he thought regime change there would change that, even after a long, surprisingly forthcoming interview with filmmaker Errol Morris. Rumsfeld defends his policy of peace through strength, takes great care to say exactly what he wants to (he's a zealot for definitions), offers no apologies and leaves judgment to history.

"Peter Pan Must Die," John Verdon: Technically, NYPD Detective Dave Gurney is retired, and the Carl Spalter murder case is closed. A wealthy developer with political ambitions, Spalter was shot by his money-grubbing wife. In reality, Gurney is still hunting bad guys, and the Spalter case is full of holes punched in it by scheming relatives, a dirty cop, an impossible crime scene and quite possibly the Peter Pan of the title, a nasty but talented little killer.


A classic question within studies of governance concerns what appears to be a paradox of being free and governed at the same time. In this chapter, the author addresses this question departing from contemporary Western society, a society to which he attaches labels such as digital, late modern, and networked. This is a theoretical chapter addressing political participation, citizenship practices, and power. How do people enter into citizenship through political participation online, and what governs these processes? The contribution to the academic discussion is to highlight the expressive as an increasingly important rationale for political participation in networked and digital late modernity. The author arrives at this conclusion departing from the intersections between technology, society, and culture. In these intersections, expressive processes of identification are keys. Therefore citizenship practices also need to be approached from an axis of individualism, creating even more intersections when combined with technology, society, and culture.
The objective of this chapter is to understand political participation among both free, but also governed, individuals in an increasingly digitalized media landscape. This is a chapter based on social theory and transdisciplinarity, aiming to clarify concepts across academic disciplines for better understanding and analyses of contemporary governance. The chapter will attend to complex ideas of citizenship, society, power, governance, the political, the individual and their interconnections. This constitutes a broad approach on some core issues in the Social and Political Sciences and as such the chapter is inevitably incomplete. But the aim here is not to enter into detail on encompassing socio-political concepts and their specific interrelations. The contribution to the academic discussion is on a meta-level, putting forward a transdisciplinary approach and as such will hopefully be useful as a theoretical frame for empirical research, to identify entry points for embarking on studies of contemporary political participation(s) online.
In this chapter, I will draw my argument from theories across the socio-political spectrum, including such as theories of governance, late modernity, networks and rationality. The issue at stake - understanding political participation among free and governed individual citizens in contemporary digital media landscapes - takes us back to the Social Sciences' classic dichotomy between society and the individual. In academia we have attempted to outline transdisciplinary concepts in order to transcend this dichotomy. First and foremost I think of citizenship, a concept combining normative macro-perspectives of a good society and how it should be structured, with behavioral understandings of individual participation (for an overview on citizenship see Isin & Turner, 2002). Citizenship rights for example are attached to individuals, but the argument for having those rights has an important collective dimension (Bellamy, 2008, pp. 14-15). They appeal to certain qualities for human beings leading a life together with others, they appeal to how society should be structured in an equal and just manner. It is a political community of members who can grant rights, in which individual members (citizens) seek fair terms of association to secure those goods necessary for them to pursue their doings on just and equal terms with fellow members (Bellamy, 2008, p. 16). In this way, citizens are free rights holding individuals, but at the same time governed by normative discourses of democratic membership with duties such as participation and collective mindedness attached.
Theoretical transcendence does not stop here by bridging imagined borders between the individual and society. There is another boundary we need to transcend in order to better understand political participation today. I am thinking of academic discussions of digital communication where authors tend to lean on determinist positions of either technology or culture. On the one side we have cyber optimists, trusting in the technological aspects of the Internet to solve all kinds of problems in contemporary democracies (see for example Benkler, 2006; Shirky, 2009). On the other hand we have more pessimistic views on digital technology, framed within existing power structures and societal organizations only to reinforce these, hence not bringing about any changes (see Hindman, 2009). I believe it is important not take on a determinist standpoint on either technology or culture. Instead more effort should be put into exploring mutual co-construction of culture and technology (see also Ekelin, 2007; Frau-Meigs, 2007; Roberts, 2009). As Castells (2000) puts it, "technology is society and society cannot be understood or be represented without its technological tools" (p. 29). Technology is thus neither good, nor bad, but it should not be considered neutral either, or untouched by power relations in society.
