Morning Digest: How Ossoff and Warnock ran up the score to turn Georgia blue and flip the Senate
● Senate-by-CD: With Democrats officially regaining control of the Senate on Wednesday, Daily Kos Elections is pleased to release the results of Georgia's Jan. 5 regular and special Senate runoffs, as well as the contest that same day for state Public Service Commission, for each of the state's 14 congressional districts. To help you follow along, we've put together a sheet with the results of each of these contests, as well as the 2020 presidential race.
Raphael Warnock defeated appointed Republican Sen. Kelly Loeffler 51.0-49.0 in a special election for the final two years of former Republican Sen. Johnny Isakson's term, while fellow Democrat Jon Ossoff beat Republican Sen. David Perdue by a slightly narrower 50.6-49.4 in the contest for a regular six-year term. At the same time, though, Republican incumbent Bubba McDonald won re-election to the Public Service Commission by fending off Democrat Daniel Blackman 50.4-49.6.
Warnock, Ossoff, and McDonald each won the same six Democratic-held House seats that now-President Joe Biden took two months before when he was winning 49.5-49.3, while the remaining eight Republican-controlled constituencies voted for all of the GOP's statewide candidates. However, there were some notable differences in how each of these four Democrats performed that we'll briefly discuss.
Ossoff ran ahead of Biden's November margin in 10 of the 14 seats, while Warnock outran Biden in 11, though in the runoffs, of course, there were no third-party candidates. The one seat where Warnock did better than Biden by margin but Ossoff didn't is the Atlanta-based 5th District, which is held by freshman Democratic Rep. Nikema Williams, though the differences were extremely small.
Ossoff and Warnock's biggest overperformance compared to Biden was in Democratic Rep. David Scott's 13th District in the southwestern Atlanta suburbs, where the two ran about 4-5 points ahead of the top of the ticket. Interestingly, both Senate candidates also eclipsed Biden in the 7th District, a historically red seat in the northeast Atlanta area that Democrat Carolyn Bourdeaux flipped last year.
A bit surprisingly, both Ossoff and Warnock did a little better in the 7th than in Democratic Rep. Lucy McBath's 6th District, another former conservative stronghold in the Atlanta suburbs that has swung hard to the left in recent years. This seat also represented the largest underperformance for both Senate candidates compared to Biden, just as it did in November, despite the fact that Ossoff ran in the famous 2017 special election here; on Jan. 5, Ossoff trailed Biden by 6 points and Warnock trailed him by five.
Warnock also ran ahead of Ossoff in all 14 congressional districts. The largest gap was in the 6th District, where, as noted just above, Warnock did two points better, while the smallest was in Republican Rep. Buddy Carter's 1st District in the Savannah area, which saw almost no difference.
One important reason the two Democrats prevailed is that, while turnout unsurprisingly dropped from November to January in every congressional district, Team Blue was better able to mobilize its voters for the second round. As our map shows, Perdue hemorrhaged votes in heavily Republican seats, while Ossoff's dropoff was smaller in the very blue districts that ring Atlanta.
In fact, the site of Perdue's second-worst falloff (by just a hair) was rural northwest Georgia's 14th District, the new home of notorious insurrectionist Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene—and the site of an election eve rally by a certain resident of Mar-a-Lago. There, in what should have been the heart of GOP country, Perdue's turnout plummeted 12.5%.
Turning briefly to the race for Public Service Commission, Blackman ran behind Biden in 11 districts. The largest source of Democratic downballot underperformance was again in the 6th District, which may indicate that this area has plenty of voters who have turned against the GOP in presidential races but are still open to supporting Republicans in other races. Blackman's best seat compared to Biden was, like Warnock's and Ossoff's, also the 13th District.
● CA-Sen, GA-Sen-A, GA-Sen-B: In one of her first acts after being sworn in on Wednesday, Vice President Kamala Harris in turn administered the oath of office to the Senate's three newest Democratic members: Alex Padilla of California and Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock of Georgia. With that act, the Senate returned to full strength, with 50 Democrats and 50 Republicans, but because of Harris' tie-breaking vote, Democrats retook control of the chamber. As a result, New York Sen. Chuck Schumer was elevated to the post of majority leader, making him the first Jewish person to hold the job.
Both Padilla and Warnock will go before voters again in 2022, while Ossoff will not face re-election until 2026.
● FL-Sen, FL-01: Rep. Matt Gaetz, a leading insurrectionist and peddler of the lie that left-wing forces were responsible for the Jan. 6 riots at the Capitol, says he has "no interest" in running against Sen. Marco Rubio in next year's Republican primary after a GOP official at the other end of the state talked up the idea to a local reporter. However, Gaetz added that he "would consider running" for state Agriculture Commissioner, a post currently held by Democrat Nikki Fried. If Gaetz were to seek a promotion, that would prompt an open-seat race for his heavily red 1st District, located in the Florida panhandle.
● NC-Sen: The New York Times reported on Tuesday that, just hours before the new administration took office, the Justice Department told Republican Sen. Richard Burr that it would drop an investigation into allegations that he engaged in insider trading last year after receiving classified briefings as chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee. The paper says, however, that a parallel SEC inquiry may still be ongoing. Burr long ago announced that he would retire next year, but last month he ever-so-slightly re-opened the door to a bid for a fourth term.
● AK-Gov: Activists seeking to recall Republican Gov. Mike Dunleavy, who put their campaign on hold last year when the coronavirus made signature-gathering very difficult, say they plan to restart their effort with vaccination now underway. Organizers say they will seek to collect petitions both by mail and safely in person.
Before pausing, recall proponents said they'd obtained almost 50,000 signatures, meaning they'd need at least 22,000 more to hit the threshold required to commence a recall election. If successful, officials would have to schedule an election 60 to 90 days after all signatures are verified, a process that can take up to 30 days. A bipartisan coalition kicked off the process in 2019, furious with Dunleavy's draconian budget cuts, including a retaliatory reduction in funds for the Alaska Supreme Court after it ruled against him in an abortion rights case.
While Dunleavy is on the ballot in 2022, one organizer explained the renewed push by saying, "There's so many things, so many reasons why two more years is way too long." If Dunleavy is ultimately removed from office, Lt. Gov. Kevin Meyer, a fellow Republican, would take his place.
● NE-Gov: State Sen. Brett Lindstrom recently told the Lincoln Journal Star that he was leaning towards running to succeed his fellow Republican, termed-out-Gov. Pete Ricketts, but that he wouldn't be making any announcements until the legislative session ends in late May.
Lindstrom, who played as a walk-on for the University of Nebraska's football team in the early 2000s, got his start in electoral politics in 2012 when he ran against then-Rep. Lee Terry in the GOP primary for the 2nd Congressional District, a contest where Terry prevailed 59-23. Lindstrom successfully won an Omaha area state Senate seat two years later, and as the online magazine Ozy wrote in a 2017 profile, he's occasionally defied his party's far-right orthodoxy.
Lindstrom was the crucial vote to repeal the death penalty in Nebraska during his first year in office, a stance that led to at least one death threat. (Ricketts and his allies successfully promoted a ballot measure to reinstate capital punishment.) Lindstrom also backed workplace protections for LGBTQ people and voted to override Ricketts' veto of a gas tax.
● OH-11: Former state Sen. Shirley Smith announced this week that she would enter the Democratic primary if there's a special election to succeed Rep. Marcia Fudge, who is President Joe Biden's nominee for secretary of Housing and Urban Development. Smith joins ex-state Sen. Nina Turner, Cuyahoga County Councilwoman Shontel Brown, and former Cleveland City Councilman Jeff Johnson in the contest for this safely blue seat which, according to new Daily Kos Elections data, backed Biden 80-19.
Smith has a long career in Cleveland politics going back to her 1998 election to the state House and her subsequent service in the upper chamber. Smith was termed-out in 2014 and ran for Cuyahoga County executive, but she lost the Democratic primary to the eventual winner, Armond Budish, by a 56-20 margin.
● WY-AL: Rep. Liz Cheney, the third-ranking Republican in the House, just earned a primary challenge from state Sen. Anthony Bouchard as a result of her vote to impeach Donald Trump last week. Bouchard slammed Cheney in his kickoff, saying her "long-time opposition to President Trump and her most recent vote for impeachment shows just how out of touch she is with Wyoming."
The Casper Star-Tribune describes Bouchard as a gun activist and says he's "built a reputation in the Wyoming Legislature as one of its most conservative members." Politics1 also reports that on social media, Bouchard has been "a vocal fan" of two of the most extreme Republican members of the House, Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert.
● Special Elections: Here's a recap of Tuesday's special election in Alabama:
AL-HD-33: Republican Ben Robbins defeated Democrat Fred Crum 68-32 to hold this Sylacauga-area seat for the GOP. This district became vacant when former Rep. Ron Johnson died last year. Robbins' victory was a very slight improvement for Team Red from Johnson's 67-33 win in his final race in 2018.
This makeup of this chamber is now 76-28 in favor of Republicans with one other seat vacant.
● Criminal Justice: 2021 will feature contests for district attorney and sheriff in a number of major counties, and the Appeal's Daniel Nichanian is out with a detailed preview of what to watch this year as criminal justice reformers look to make more inroads and defend influential allies.
One early test will take place on May 18 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where one of the most prominent reformers in the country, District Attorney Larry Krasner, faces a challenge in the Democratic primary from former prosecutor Carlos Vega. Vega has been a loud critic of the incumbent, whom he argues has been running "an experiment that is costing the lives of our children." The winner of the Democratic nomination should have no trouble in the November general election in this heavily blue city.
Another very high-profile race is also underway in Manhattan, where the winner of the June 22 Democratic primary will also be the heavy favorite. Incumbent Cy Vance has yet to announce if he'll seek a fourth term, but New York City politicos almost universally expected him to retire even before they learned he'd raised just $2,000 during the second half of 2020.
Eight fellow Democrats are currently competing to replace Vance, and with the exception of attorney and former prosecutor Liz Crotty, all of them have pitched themselves as progressives who will bring much needed changes to the office. There's no obvious frontrunner at the moment in what's already an expensive race.
There's plenty more to watch across the country this year, and you'll want to check out Nichanian's preview of this year's major criminal justice contests.
● Where Are They Now?: Defense One reported Tuesday that former Rep. Max Rose, a Democrat who lost his bid for a second term last year in New York's 11th District, would take a job in the Biden Defense Department as an advisor on COVID-19. Rose, who previously served in the Army in Afghanistan, does not require Senate confirmation.
● Where Are They Now?: On his way out the door, Donald Trump issued pardons to three former Republican congressmen who had been convicted in a trio of unrelated public corruption scandals: Arizona's Rick Renzi, California's Randy "Duke" Cunningham, and North Carolina's Robin Hayes. Trump also commuted the sentence of former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, a Democrat who had served six years of a 28-year sentence for corruption.

Awwww I'm so excited to share Let It Snow: An Animated Love Shoot by Rebecca Douglas Photography. Louise and Greg make such a lovely couple and the fluffy snow was the perfect backdrop for their engagement shoot. The only other things they required were a few extra layers, a cute pair of ear muffs, a sledge and of course… a whooole lotta love.
Thanet is a small place so we had seen each other a few times before we met properly. We went to the same gym and Greg would give me a cheeky smile as he passed by.
I had always admired him from afar but didn't have the courage to do much about it. We met properly at a friend's party 4 and a half years ago. We spent the whole night dancing together like idiots, much to our friend's amusement!
We went on a few dates after that but it turned out that Greg had only recently come out of a 7 year relationship so he wasn't sure if he was ready to settle down again. We took things slowly but soon became inseparable. It became clear to us that when something feels right you should just go with it.
Greg is a secondary school teacher and I am a Chartered Accountant. We bought our first home together a year ago and couldn't be happier. We have had a lot of fun making the perfect home for us both. Greg and I are planners so we had been talking about getting married since summer 2012.
However, he surprised me with a wonderful trip to Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park just after Christmas and en-route we made a de-tour to Bond Street where he proposed outside Tiffany and Co's and invited me to choose a ring.
It was an amazing day, we went onto Winter Wonderland where we celebrated with friends, had a lovely meal in Leicester Square and then Greg had booked a hotel in the city.
We are planning the wedding for August 2014. It seems like a lifetime away although we have been told it will fly by!
We want a traditional church wedding, but with a string quartet instead of an organ. We are then going to have the reception at the Pegwell Bay hotel in Ramsgate. We love the venue, it is about a 5 minute walk from our house and we often go for Sunday lunches so it feels homely and familiar to us. We are hoping to have a firework finale (weather permitting!). We would love a honeymoon in Aruba so fingers crossed the saving goes well.
Louise : I knew it was love when I started spending far too much of the working day, daydreaming about Greg.
Greg: Louise is my world. I can't wait for this next chapter of our lives to start.
Heeey you guuuuuys *that came out in a Sloth from The Goonies voice* aren't Louise and Greg a ridiculously cute couple? I love how Rebbecca of Rebbecca Douglas Photography captured these images and turned a few of them into running / animated shots. How fab!

Q: Template selectors in ember js I have an objects array of different types and I want to display a different view for each according to its type, somthing like this
{{#each vehicle}}
    <!-- specific view depending on vehicle type -->
{{/each}}

how can i do?

A: Using Partials
I think you're wanting to render a specific template based on some property of your model. The attributes that helpers like partial take can be dynamic. Here's an example of rendering a certain partial based on the 'type' of vehicle:

Using a Component
You can also dynamically modify the templateName of a component if the partial doesn't do it for you and you need more control:

I have woken up this morning with two less visitors; my mother's friends Miss Vicki and JoDelle have left Provence and headed North to Paris and have left my mother and Godmother here to keep me company for another week.
Bonjour friends of Sara, or as we say right across the border here in Germany, Hallo (or Guten Tag if you want to get extra stereotypical). I'm Alex from ifs ands & Butts (this is supposedly 'punny' because my last name is Butts). Anyway, Sara and I go way back. Not childhood back, something stronger. Our roots lie in Texas and our loyalty with The University of, you see.
But I'm not here to talk about that, I'm here to ramble about whatever other topic that pops into my head right now because Sara trusts me like that. How did I end up in Germany? Unlike Sara, I did not find love (yet?). Instead, I found a love for traveling and a tolerance for children that opened up doors to the former.
Airport/plane story: because we all have one.
Just last month, I flew back to Germany from Houston. Normally I have a direct flight, but this time the family booked it for me (can't complain), so I flew British Airways with a stopover in London. Our flight was on time and we all boarded the plane and got settled. Shortly after, we were told there was a slight technical problem that would not keep us from flying, but we needed clearance from an engineering in London. Well, it was 9 pm Houston time, which was 3 am in London. Apparently there's one dude with this clearance power and he was snoozing away so we sat on the runway for over 5 hours before homeboy got to work and cleared our aircraft. The flight attendants even said it was the most ridiculous excuse for a delay they'd ever heard.
Bragging rights: What's the coolest experience you had traveling?
Hanggliding with Ed and Bernie in Interlaken, Switzerland, was certainly one of the most fun and unforgettable. I also should brag for a second on my randomly awesome Eurotrip timing. I accidentally landed in Barcelona on the day of the Spain World Cup game, accidentally ended up in Paris on the Tour de France completion and was accidentally in Copenhagen for the sommer solstice party.
Count me out: if you had the opportunity to visit all but one continent, which would you skip out on?
Here, I have to say Antartica because 1) I can barely handle German cold and 2) there's just too much to see and culture to experience on the others.
Turkish food - I have a whole post on it if you care, but it's basically meat and veggie and tons of oily goodness.
2) Copenhagen, Denmark - I only spent two nights there, but it was just so perfect (minus the prices). It also instilled this crazy must.go.everywhere.in.Scandinavia urge in me.
1) New York City, because somehow I decided to skip traveling the US and head straight to Germany.
2) Duba, Botswana, because I want to go on an African safari BAD.
3) Shanghai, because traveling is all about feeling out of place and I think Asia would successfully accomplish that. I really want to visit a lot of Asia, so choosing is just my way of saying that.
If you liked this game, grab this random button I made and play along. Be sure to share your link in the comments or email it to me or something. I'm not big enough to start all that link up business.
If you want to come say hi, I'd like that a lot. The thing is, I love finding new blogs but lately it seems all my blog friends are already all interconnected, thus making finding new blogs a little more difficult. Ya know what I mean?
Stay tuned for stories of my South of France staycation.
À bientôt et gros bisous!
and i love your awesome desire to visit everywhere in scandinavia ;) woohoo.
have a great weekend alex! well, rest of the weekend!
Thanks Megan! Would love to see your answers as your travels extend far beyond mine!
I'll be in Munich for Oktoberfest too!
I love Alex. she always has great traveling stories to tell.
I love both your blogs! You girls are awesome!
Can't wait to see your answers, Katrin! and YOU ARE AWESOME-ER!
Ah Cinque Terre...I have such wonderful memories there. Got engaged right in that spot actually!
Lucky girl!! What a spot to get engaged!
Love "your tolerance for children" - probably that's exactly what it takes to work with children as an au pair or a teacher ;-) You're really making the best of your time in Europe - so many travel destinations you've already ticked off your list!


What is the difference between TDF and USDF?
While both organizations were established by Nebraska native, Lowell Boomer, there are fundamental differences between the two. The United States Dressage Federation was formed in 1973 apart from the American Horse Show Association (now known as USEF) to give the discipline of dressage more attention it needed to flourish in the States. USDF became the governing body for the sport, developing the standards and providing the educational information for judges, instructors and riders. From the first meeting in November of 1973 in Lincoln, NE, USDF continues to educate dressage enthusiasts, promote the sport and recognize achievements. The USDF offices are located in Lexington, Kentucky. Visit www.usdf.org for more information.
The Dressage Foundation, a non-profit tax-exempt corporation, was established in 1989 by Lowell to provide financial support to the sport of dressage. TDF provides funding to USDF, its Group Member Organizations (GMOs), other non-profit organizations and to individuals for dressage-related education. These grants are possible because of tax-deductible contributions made by donors and through earnings on funds and reserves. Unlike USDF, we have no paying members - TDF can only give away what generous donors give to us. Since its beginning, TDF has awarded over $1.5 million in scholarships and grants to improve dressage in the United States.
How can I contribute to TDF?
TDF has no dues-paying members and depends solely on support from charitable contributions and earnings from investment reserves. These financial contributions can come in all sizes, even the smallest donation helps! Visit our Support page to make a financial contribution.
Another way you can contribute to TDF is by promoting the organization through your local Group Member Organization (GMO) or dressage club. Spread the word by writing an article, hosting a fundraiser, distributing brochures or holding a TDF Benefit Class at your next show! If you have a creative idea, let us know how we can help! TDF State Representatives are available to help in your area, too.
How do I know which grant is right for me?
TDF awards grants and scholarships to all sorts of dressage enthusiasts; young riders, amateurs, judges, instructors, GMOs/clubs, breeders and high performance riders. You can refer to our Index of Grants page, which categorizes our programs in an easy to understand chart. Each program has its own webpage that states the requirements to apply.
Receiving a grant from TDF is dependent on receiving your application on time! Don't miss the due dates; check out our Grant Deadline Calendar page and click on the link "Add To My Calendar!" Each application should also state the deadline.

Any and all feedback welcome.
As with every other writer, I agree with almost as much as I disagree with.
But your interview gave me a great insight into the *writer* Nina Allan (and she's good).
Well done, and keep up the good work!
Cheers Jetse, and agree that Nina is a very good writer.
"Which three writers do you feel have influenced you the most and how?"
That's a real tough question to ask anyone isn't it?
I like the comment about experimenting and trying to improve with each story.

Webb opens new era in observational astrophysics
Stunning Top: Webb's first deep field, a lensing galaxy cluster (NIRCam image). Left: Stephan's Quintet, an interacting galaxy cluster (NIRCam + MIRI composite). Right: Southern Ring, a planetary nebula (NIRCam). Credit: NASA/ESA/CSA/STScI
The keenly awaited first science-grade images from the James Webb Space Telescope were released on 12 July – and they did not disappoint. Thanks to Webb's unprecedented 6.5 m mirror, together with its four main instruments (NIRCam, NIRSpec, NIRISS and MIRI), the $10 billion probe marks a new dawn for observational astrophysics.
The past six months since Webb's launch from French Guiana have been devoted to commissioning, including alignment and calibration of the mirrors and bringing temperatures to cyrogenic levels to minimise noise from heat radiated from the equipment (CERN Courier March/April 2022 p7). Unlike the Hubble Space Telescope, Webb does not look at ultraviolet or visible light but is primarily sensitive to near- and mid-infrared wavelengths. This enables it to look at the farthest galaxies and stars, as early as a few hundred million years after the Big Bang.
Wealth of information
Pictured here are some of Webb's early-release images. The first deep-field image (top) covers the same area of the sky as a grain of sand held at arm's length, and is swarming with galaxies. At the centre is a cluster called SMACS 0723, whose combined mass is so high that its gravitational field bends the light of objects that lie behind it (resulting in arc-like features), revealing galaxies that existed when the universe was less than a billion years old. The image was taken using NIRCam and is a combination of images at different wavelengths. The spectrographs, NIRSpec and NIRISS, will provide a wealth of information on the composition of stars, galaxies and their clusters, offering a rare peak into the earliest stages of their formation and evolution.
Stephan's Quintet (bottom left) is a visual group of five galaxy clusters that was first discovered in 1877 and remains one of the most studied compact galaxy groups. The actual grouping involves only four galaxies, which are predicted to eventually merge. The non-member, NGC 7320, which lies about 40 million light years from Earth rather than 290 million for the actual group, is seen on the left, with vast regions of active star formation in its numerous spiral arms.
A third stunning image, the Southern Ring nebula (bottom right), shows a dying star. With its reservoirs of light elements already exhausted, it starts using up any available heavier elements to sustain itself – a complex and violent process that results in large amounts of material being ejected from the star in intervals, visible as shells.
These images are just a taste, yet not all Webb data will be so visually spectacular. By extending Hubble's observations of distant supernovae and other standard candles, for example, the telescope should enable the local rate of expansion to be determined more precisely, possibly shedding light on the nature of dark energy. By measuring the motion and gravitational lensing of early objects, it will also survey the distribution of dark matter, and might even hint at what it's made of. Using transmission spectroscopy, Webb will also reveal exoplanets in unprecedented detail, learn about their chemical compositions and search for signatures of habitability.

Victorian women talk leadership
A pilot study has explored the pathways to leadership for Victorian women, building on stories of women leaders in Asia and the Pacific.
As part of a subject collaboration with IWDA, Monash University Gender and Development students took part in a small pilot study involving interviews with women leaders working in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics), politics, sport, agriculture, law enforcement and social enterprise in Victoria.
Women's Leadership Pathways
The Monash University students drew from questions outlined in IWDA's Women's Leadership Pathways (WLP) research project, which explores the experiences of established and aspiring women leaders in social, political and economic sectors across five countries in Asia and the Pacific region.
The WLP research project forms part of Women's Action for Voice and Empowerment (WAVE), IWDA's ground-breaking women's leadership program that brings together and supports individual women, organisations, and movements in Asia and Pacific to increase the representation of women in diverse leadership positions.
From STEM to politics, women face similar challenges
Key findings of the report showed that despite coming from diverse sectors, women face similar barriers and enablers when aiming for and navigating leadership positions. Some barriers include lack of workplace flexibility and childcare, discriminatory structures and deeply entrenched gender norms.
"The barriers I faced were more structural. I got married in 1990 and I have three children. When I had my children, there was no part time [work]. So, either you work full time after having the children or you resign."
Support from family networks, education, role models and socio-economic factors proved positive factors for many women, but on some occasions also acted as barriers. For example, some participants came from supportive families while others did not have this support.
Early findings show that there are some parallels between the experiences of Victorian women leaders and the experiences of women leaders involved in the WLP research project in Asia and Pacific.
Self-belief motivating women to create change
The report also found that despite coming from vastly different cultural contexts, there were some similarities in the motivations driving women to take on leadership roles. Interestingly, some of those women see leadership as a 'calling' – something they are meant to do for their community.
They described a sense of determination to address perceived injustices, with one participant explaining the importance of taking responsibility as an individual to drive change:
"You often have to be the one who drives it because there's not many people that are prepared to do it…if you're going to do something, do it yourself."
And that's exactly what these women leaders are doing. Despite the various barriers they have encountered – some of which they continue to face – they have developed a strong sense of self belief and the determination to challenge gender norms.

Following the emergency landing of Sea Vixen G-CVIX XP924 at RNAS Yeovilton on 27 May, Navy Wings is urgently seeking a 'white knight' sponsor to save the aircraft and restore this unique and nationally important naval heritage fighter to full flying condition.
Unfortunately the structural damage to the airframe is more serious than first thought. This includes cracks on both tail booms, warping of the main bulkheads in the engine compartment and major damage to the gear box. The important factor here was speed of landing. The Sea Vixen suffered a major hydraulic failure of both systems and the pilot, Commander Simon Hargreaves was unable to lower the flaps along with the undercarriage. This necessitated a high speed, shallow touchdown and the energy transferred itself through the airframe.
Assessors estimate that it could take between three to four years and cost £2-3m to get her flying again. A white knight is needed in the next month who would be prepared to come to the rescue and underwrite these costs and save the last flying Sea Vixen in the world, recognising her uniqueness and value to the Nation's naval aviation heritage.

WithinReach State of the Union: Growth, Opportunities and New Initiatives
Last week, we hosted Cynthia Circle members, past and present WithinReach Board members, and other partners for a virtual State of the Union. At the event, WithinReach CEO Kay Knox shared high points of the last year, and the growth, opportunities and new initiatives that lie ahead. As well, we heard from new Board President, Eric Tatsuno, about the Board's strategic focus and their role in our anti-racism work.
Here are some highlights from the event:
We launched our state's Plan of Safe Care with 40 birthing hospitals this year. WithinReach helps families and babies, who are identified at birth with substance exposure, connect to basic needs support and resources in their communities. The goal of this work is to mitigate risk of future involvement with Child Protective Services, which disproportionately affects families of color, specifically Indigenous, Black and Latinx children and families.
Our Care Connect Washington work has expanded, providing support to Washington residents who are in isolation due to a COVID exposure or diagnosis. We helped develop this program in response to the high number of cases in Yakima at the beginning of the pandemic, and now provide technical assistance for regional hubs throughout the state. This establishes critical "surge support" for our state for any crisis.
We led a number of innovative efforts around food access this past year, including hosting the webinar series "Food Access is Community Care," which centered local BIPOC leaders cultivating relationships and alternative systems around food justice. In addition, we facilitated a powerful partnership with Safeway and Northwest Harvest that enabled us to provide nearly $200,000 worth of grocery gift cards to clients experiencing food insecurity.
One of our largest endeavors is expanding the statewide Help Me Grow network. WithinReach is working with local communities and champions to envision and direct the development of coordinated, regional resource networks to better serve families. Help Me Grow is established in King, Pierce, Yakima, Kittitas, and Skagit counties, and we have emerging work in several more rural counties across the state.
In partnership with Kauffman and Associates, an Indigenous, woman-owned, local consulting firm, we are studying how the Help Me Grow model can work for tribal communities. As well, WithinReach is part of a cohort of organizations helping undocumented immigrant families learn about and benefit from the Immigrant Relief Fund, which offers cash grants to people affected by the pandemic who have not been able to receive federal stimulus or unemployment insurance due to their immigration status.
Growth and Opportunity
As is evidenced in the work above, WithinReach's work continues to grow and innovate to meet the needs of families and communities in the state. This requires growth in our team as well; we anticipate having nearly 80 people on staff by the end of this fiscal year. "What we do is so important, and how we do it is critical to creating lasting social impact," said Knox. "If COVID has taught us one thing, it's that we need to listen to and center our employees, our most important resource."
To that end, WithinReach is focused on a number of internal efforts to support this growth:
We are in the midst of restructuring our large direct service team, to position us for the work we are doing today, and allow us to scale up and do bigger work in the future.
We recognize that retaining staff is key. WithinReach instituted a minimum livable wage this past year, revisited our paid holidays to offer more choice and to honor Juneteenth, and provided additional compensation for bilingual staff for the added value they bring to our work through culture and language.
We strive to increase the diversity of our leadership. We are placing new emphasis on professional development and the creation of promotion pathways, with the goal of growing more leaders of color within our organization.
WithinReach's new Board President, Eric Tatsuno, has a rich and varied experience with the organization. He started out as an AmeriCorps member eight years ago, doing community outreach at food banks and enrolling people in Medicaid, then moved on to become a committee member and Board member. "I have firsthand experience of WithinReach's impact in the community, and I am honored to serve as a champion of the work," said Tatsuno.
Tatsuno shared more about our active and engaged Board of Champions. In an effort to create the biggest social impact possible this year, the Board will help develop a clear strategic direction for the organization. WithinReach is currently operating in a two-year strategic framework, developed mid-pandemic and carrying us through June. It is now time to revisit strategies that will best propel us into the future.
Another key focus for the Board this year lies in their commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. Foundational equity training for both the WithinReach staff and Board has helped us gain a greater shared understanding of racial disparities and equity issues. With these learnings, we will continue the important work laid out in our 10-priority anti-racism action plan, and explore the Board's role through committee work.
All of what we heard from Knox and Tatsuno represents the work of many dedicated WithinReach staff and supporters, and is a testament to our strong partnerships in the community. It offers a snapshot of the different ways we are working to enhance the ways families connect to resources, and how we can increase equity and access to better serve Washington families.

After Big Names Like Barack Obama Honored Nipsey Hussle A Deadly Shooting Occurred At The Funeral Procession — Were Lauren London's Boyfriend's Fans Targeted?
Even after Nipsey Hussle's death, violent attacks against him continue.
The deceased rapper's funeral procession saw another deadly shooting go down, with at least one victim confirmed shot fatally.
Many people have responded negatively to the event, calling it disgusting and despicable.
Some of the criticisms have come from authorities, with LA's police Chief pointing out that this situation must be brought under control.
Suspects arrived in a grey-colored Hyundai, according to reports, and immediately opened fire on the victims.
It is not clear what the attack's motives were. Some speculate that Hussle's former involvement with gangs could be at the root of the incident, but others are more skeptical.
The rapper has done a lot to transform his life and turn it around, even helping pull others out of difficult situations.
A previous incident had two people shot during a night vigil in Hussle's memory.
At this point, it is starting to look like somebody is explicitly targeting the rapper's fans who have come out to mourn his passing.
Authorities are actively investigating all attacks. Meanwhile, proceedings against the alleged murderer of the rapper himself continue, although information has been coming out slowly.
According to reports, the suspect has denied any involvement in the incident.
Reports indicate that authorities are also considering other angles, although no exact details have been released so far.
Many of the rapper's fans have called for a clarification on the situation, but it is understandable why investigators might want to keep things under wraps for the time being.
Hussle has reached icon status after his murder. President Barack Obama sent a letter that read at his memorial service.
Hussle's family will keep his legacy alive.

Animated, Art world, Biopic, Mystery
As beautiful as you: Loving Vincent ***
October 23, 2017 Dennis Hartley	Leave a comment
(Originally posted on Digby's Hullabaloo on October 21, 2017)
If I liken the experience of watching Dorota Kobiela and Hugh Welchman's first feature film Loving Vincent as akin to staring at an oil painting for 95 minutes, I could see how that could be misinterpreted as a negative. But I am only making you aware that their Vincent van Gogh biopic is literally a collection of the artist's paintings, brought to life.
It's actually an ingenious concept. Utilizing over 120 of van Gogh's paintings as storyboard and settings, the filmmakers incorporate roto-scoped live action with a meticulously oil-painted frame-by-frame touch-up to fashion a truly unique animated feature. The screenplay (co-written by directors Kobiela and Welchman along with Jacek von Dehnel) was derived from 800 of the artist's letters. It is essentially a speculative mystery that delves into the circumstances of van Gogh's last days and untimely demise.
Our "detective" is Armand (Douglas Booth), the son of an Arles postman (Chris O'Dowd). A year after van Gogh's suspicious death, Armand's father entrusts his son with an undelivered letter from van Gogh to his brother Theo. Armand sets off to the bucolic countryside of Avers-sur-Oise that inspired many of van Gogh's best paintings. As he encounters an ever-growing cast of characters ranging from the periphery to the inner circle of van Gogh's daily life, Armand's journey becomes a Rashomon-like maze of conflicting accounts and contradictory impressions regarding the artist's final chapter.
While this is not the definitive van Gogh biopic (Vincente Minnelli's colorful 1956 effort Lust For Life, featuring an intense and moving performance by Kirk Douglas, takes that honor), it is handily the most visually resplendent one that I have seen. The film represents a 10-year labor of love by the filmmakers, who employed more than 100 artists to help achieve their vision…and it's all up there on the screen. The narrative, however, is more on the "sketchy" side, if you know what I'm saying (I'm here all week).
Still, the film teasingly offers up some counter-myths to the conventional narrative that van Gogh was another tortured artist who had no choice but to check out early because he was just too damn sensitive for this cruel and unfeeling world. Maybe he wasn't even the one who pulled the trigger…hmm?
Granted, considering he produced 800 paintings (many considered priceless masterpieces) yet sold only one during his lifetime, and struggled with mental illness, it's not like he didn't have reasons to be depressed, but who can say with 100% certainty that there really was no hope left in sight, on that starry, starry night? I'd wager the answer lies on his canvasses; because every picture tells a story…don't it?

Will the alcohol/cancer connection connect with youth?
Alcohol Justice recently reported that there is a risk of certain types of cancer associated with alcohol use — even with moderate use. This is sobering news — but is this something that will cause a young person to change his or her behavior, especially "in the moment"?
NPR delves into this question. A recent study show that, among students who thought there was some risk of alcohol-related cancer, there was a high percentage who said they were less likely to drink to excess. The impact on youth of the alcohol-cancer connection is partially due to the "novelty factor", says sources who talked to NPR. Since this is relatively new information to them, it stands out, makes young people think — and potentially changes their behavior.
However, will this deter them at the moment of choosing to drink — when peer pressure, feelings of invulnerability, social norms, and more have a strong pull?

El Concierto para violín y orquesta es una obra del compositor Robert Gerhard que fue escrita entre los años 1942 y 1945. El estreno se llevó a cabo en Florencia, en mayo del año 1950. Se trata de una obra que presenta un estilo posromántico y que introduce elementos propios del serialismo, en honor a Schönberg.

Contexto compositivo
A la década de 1940 Robert Gerhard compuso tres partituras de ballet, Alegrías/Flamenco (1941-1943), Pandora (1943-44) y Don Quijote (1940-50), el Concierto para violín (1942-45) y la ópera The Duenna (1945-47). Es posible considerarlas un reflejo de las diferentes reacciones a la Guerra Civil Española y de su situación como un catalán exiliado en Cambridge. Gerhard tenía una gran facilidad con los idiomas y, en este periodo, empezó a escribir artículos musicales en inglés, incluyendo algunas colaboraciones a The Score. En un artículo, titulado "Englans, Spring" (1945), expresó su desacuerdo con las obras que se programaban en los conciertos de la época en contraste con el alto nivel de los intérpretes, y especialmente en los coros y las bandas. Esta situación fue, en parte, una consecuencia de la Guerra. Gerhard, en su caso personal y a pesar de que el problema se intensificaba por sus condiciones debido al exilio, demostró un impulso para el desarrollo de su personalidad musical. De hecho, Gerhard compuso más obras durante los años 1940-47 que en las dos décadas anteriores.

Obra
El Concierto para violín tiene tres movimientos:

I. Allegro cantabile, cono anima, molto vivace, cono spirito

II. Largo, allegretto placido

III. Allegro cono brio, presto

El primer movimiento presenta una forma sonata y utiliza como primer motivo un tema que pertenece a su Concertino para cuerdas (1927-1928). El segundo motivo es introducido por el solista: tiene un carácter meditativo y utiliza el arpegio como forma principal. Gerhard escribe una cadencia que va seguida por una recapitulación abreviada, y el movimiento acaba con una sección extensa que funciona como scherzo y coda.

El segundo movimiento es un tributo al 70º cumpleaños de Schönberg. Empieza con una forma de coral basado en la escala de 12 sueños que aparece en un Cuarteto de cuerda de su maestro. Esta cita se alterna con un motivo impresionista que contiene muchos tipos de escalas. Los dos primeros movimientos fueron escritos durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Tienen tanto partes propias del serialisme como partes libres, pero esta mezcla de lenguajes se alivia mediante la aparición de transiciones inteligentes e imaginativas.

El tercero y último movimiento fue compuesto después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Es un movimiento completamente libre. Empieza con una cita de La Marsellesa, que simboliza la libertad y con referencias a temas de danzas catalanas, como por ejemplo melodías y ritmos de la sardana. A la parte central, se llega en su punto culminante y emocional de la obra, produciendo un clímax de un gran virtuosismo para el violín solista. La obra acaba con uno presto muy virtuoso técnicamente, donde el solista interpreta una danza española que se enlaza con la coda.

El Concierto se estrenó al Festival Maggio Musicale de Florencia el 1950, con Antoni Brosa como violín solista y bajo la dirección de Hermann Scherchen. En Cataluña, se estrenó el 7 de febrero de 1964, interepretat por el violinista Xavier Turull con la Orquesta Municipal de Barcelona dirigida por Rafael Ferrer. Era la primera vez que se interpretaba una obra de Gerhard después de la Guerra Civil. Se consideraba un compositor olvidado por dos motivos: porque era defensor de la república y artista a la vegada, de forma que sus obras eran consideradas no adaptadas al conservadurismo franquista. Este Concierto consigue reflejar las circunstancias en qué fue compuesto: los dos primeros movimientos fueron escritos durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial.

El Concierto tuvo que esperar casi quince años para ser estrenado en Barcelona y, en general, la programación de la música de Gerhard era mucho discontinua. Los sectores más conservadores del público consideraban que la catalanidad y los antecedentes políticos del compositor no constituían argumentos muy favorables. Cuando finalmente se estrenó, Álvaro Ruibal, crítico del diario La Vanguardia, clasificó Gerhard como un compositor fracasado, víctima de una "inflación superrealista" y tan confundido como su generación, "envejecida y apagón". En cuanto a los otros medios de comunicación, publicaron información que mostraba rechazo hacia el reconocimiento político del exilio del compositor. También juzgaron al violinista Xavier Turull por su eclecticismo y la "frialdad esquemática".

Por otro lado, pero, otros medios consideraron muy positivamente la obra, valorando la conciencia identitaria y el progresismo intelectual de Robert Gerhard. Sebastià Benet aportó una perspectiva muy diferente: Antoni Noguera, compositor y musicólogo, habló sobre una entrevista que la Asociación "El mundo de la música" hizo a Robert Gerhard en la cual le preguntaron como tendría que ser tocada su música. Gerhard respondió:

Quantum dynamics in the partial Wigner picture.
Thesis (1.592Mb)
Beck, Geoffrey Martin.
The Wigner formalism can be used to provide a representation of quantum dynamics in a classical-like phase space. However, there are many cases, such as when dealing with spin systems in a dissipative environment, in which one can more conveniently resort to a partial Wigner representation. The quantum propagator in the partial Wigner representation is, in general, a very complicated mathematical object. However, using a linear approximation, the propagator can be taken as a basis for describing the dynamics of hybrid quantum-classical systems. Such a hybrid system is composed of a quantum subsystem interacting with a coupled environment subsystem which evolves under classical-like dynamics represented in the Wigner phase space. In studying these hybrid dynamics it becomes apparent that, for a general environment system, there exists a series of quantum correction terms that restore the hybrid equation to exact quantum dynamics. Thus it is these correction terms that influence the existence of quantum effects in the dynamics of the environment subsystem and could therefore provide unique dynamical signatures indicating the existence of quantum effects. With the above motivation, we have derived an analytical expression for the quantum propagator, including correction terms, in the case of position-dependent couplings and polynomial-potential environment systems, and we have studied, numerically, the resulting quantum dynamics in a few relevant cases through comparison of quantum-classical and quantum-corrected evolutions. The type of system chosen for numerical study consisted of a two-level, or pseudo-spin, quantum system coupled to an environment represented by a quartic potential. It was found that the Rabi oscillations of the pseudo-spin are sensitive to the quantum corrections in a certain range of parameter values, either exhibiting stronger damping or stronger oscillations, depending on the tunnelling behaviour introduced by the corrections. If one were to interpret the pseudo-spin as a Cooper-pair box and the polynomial potential as representing the oscillatory behaviour of a buckled nano-rod, then this works suggests that one might be able to witness the transition of a non-linear nano-oscillator from the realm of classical dynamics to the quantum regime by observation of the pseudo-spin Rabi oscillations.

10 Best Ministers in India in BJP Modi Government
KirtiLast Updated: August 29, 2021
There is always support behind an achievement. Without Support, no one can achieve success easily. There is always teamwork and support from the members that help to run a successful program. Especially when we talk about politics there is teamwork without a team you cannot govern the country. And here we are talking about our ruling party. The Modi Government has been ruling our country since 2014. We all know Prime Minister Narendra Modi is a strong leader but is he able to rule the party alone? No, there is the support of the members who help him to work and make it successful. Here we came with a list of important personalities who are the constant and one of the best Leaders in the Modi Government who have been working for a long time in different sectors. Let's take a look at those prominent leaders.
List of Top 10 best ministers in India in Modi Government.
Late. Sushma Swaraj (The People's Minister)
Sushma Swaraj was a senior leader in the Bharatiya Janata Party. She was an essential member of Modi's Government. She was the Indian Minister of External Affairs, during the first period of Modi's Government from 2014-2019. She was the youngest cabinet Minister of Haryana at the age of 25 only.

CISPA, the cyberspying bill, is back in Congress and plagued with many of the same problems as last year—vague definitions and the grim government access loophole to name just a few. The bill also grants broad immunity to companies as long as a company acts in "good faith." One section of the immunity clause even grants immunity for any "decision made" based on information about a perceived threat. The clause opens up a wide door for abuse and is yet another reason why we urge users to stop CISPA.
The most dangerous section grants immunity for any "decision" a company makes based on information it learns about a perceived network threat. The clause is yet another example of why the bill must be killed. A company could use this section to act against a perceived threat believing it was immune from any legal liability as long as the decision was based on information about a threat. The immunity could cover decisions to violate other laws, like computer crime laws or privacy laws intended to protect users. Companies should not be given carte blanche immunity to violate long-standing computer crime and privacy law.
The requirement that companies act in good faith is an ineffective check on CISPA power grant. It is notoriously hard to prove that a company acted in bad faith, in the few circumstances where you would actually find out your privacy had been violated.
It also opens the door for government abuse. If the government asks for your information, and only tells the company it's needed for secret cybersecurity reasons, the company could claim to rely, in good faith, on the government's unverified tale. Voila! Immunity from lawsuits.
This was precisely the problem with the FISA Amendment Act (FAA), which granted retroactive immunity to telecoms for the NSA warrantless wiretapping program. Tragically, the FAA allowed immunity for disclosures just on the government's say-so. Let's not make the same mistake again.
According to its authors, the immunity sections in CISPA are necessary for companies to share information about cyberthreats with the government. But the immunity granted by CISPA is overly broad because it does more than just encourage the sharing of information. Companies don't need immunity to share technical information about threats. As an example, the recent Executive Order encourages such sharing without providing immunity to companies. Further, companies are already openly sharing information to protect against threats. In 2010 Google alerted human rights activists and companies that were targeted and infected by malware. Earlier this month, Facebook shared the signature and forensic data of a recent attack with other companies, and was also willing to speak openly about its sharing activities. And just two weeks ago, Mandiant's report on Chinese hacking included a treasure trove of information about suspected threats, the methods they used, and other technical information. These actions underline just how much information companies and security providers can share in order to protect against threats.
CISPA's immunity clause allows companies to use "cybersecurity systems." As discussed in our CISPA FAQ, the definition is critical to the bill yet littered with problems. It appears to be intended to protect a company's automated response to a network attack—a widely used action by network administrators. But the definition a "cybersecurity system" is broad enough to include aggressive countermeasures that some would consider offensive actions.
The immunity for any "decision made" based on a cyber threat when combined with the ambiguously defined "cybersecurity systems" sets the stage for abuse. Companies shouldn't possess such expansive protections. That's why we ask you to email your representative and tell them to stop CISPA.


When airbags work correctly they can play an important role in saving your life during an accident. However, airbags can also be dangerous which makes hiring the right defective airbag lawyer important.
Airbags can also pose a safety risk for children, especially those that inflate in low-severity crashes. Children under 12 should always be placed in the proper safety seat or safety restraints in the back seat of a vehicle.
Always transport children 1 to 12 years old in the back seat and use appropriate child restraints. You should do this even if your car doesn't have an airbag.
We are here to help. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us to speak with a Texas product liability lawyer.

China. Photos by Liu Xia, wife of Nobel Peace prize-winner Liu Xiaobo, went on show in New York without her knowledge.
The Dark, bare photos of modern Chinese society were taken out of China by French academic, writer and economist Guy Sorman who is also a friend of the artist. She gave permission to Sorman to show them, but she did not want to know when or where. Liu Xia is under house arrest in Beijing while her husband serves an 11-year jail term for propagating democracy.
The 25 photos in The Silent Strength of Liu Xia will be displayed at Columbia University in New York opened on February 9 and will be displayed until March 1, 2012.
The black and white images show dolls in different positions in Liu's apartment in Beijing. Dolls are used to show the suffering of the Chinese people, one shows a pained Liu Xiaobo holding a doll on his shoulder. The French academic stresses that the world is now discovering an "important" Chinese artist.
Kolkata. Eminent sculptor and professor at Kala Bhawan, Santiniketan, Sarbari Roy Chowdhury passed away on February 21, 2012. His works have travelled all over the world and are in the collection of major organisations. He had been awarded 'Gagan- Abani Puraskar by Visva Bharati in 2004 and the 'Abanindra Puraskar' by the Government of West Bengal in 2005.
Delhi. The opening dates for the Koch-Muziris Biennale, 2012 were announced on January 28 at Delhi by the Trustees of the Kochi Biennale Foundation. The Koch-Muziris Biennale 2012 is scheduled for December 12, 2012. Over 80 artists will be invited to participate in the 2012 Biennale.
Artists invited by the Koch-Muziris Biennale include Alfredo Jaar, Amar Kanwar, Atul Dodiya, Bani Abidi, Fiona Tan, Kiran Subbaiah, Ranbir Kaleka, Shreyas Karle, Srinivasa Prasad, Subodh Gupta, Surendran Nair, Tallur L.N and others.
Athens. More than 60 priceless artifacts including a gold ring dedicated to the ancient Olympic Games were stolen from ancient Olympia Museum on February 17, 2012.
Officials said that two masked men knocked out the alarm, then overpowered the museum's sole female guard.
Last month a painting, personally gifted by Pablo Picasso to Greece, was stolen from the Athens National Gallery.
The police placed traffic checkpoints in the area and were examining the museum's cameras for clues. The incident prompted the country's culture minister, Pavlos Geroulanos, to resign, though the resignation has not yet been accepted.
New Delhi. National Gallery of Modern Art, New Delhi presented the exhibition Ramkinkar Baij- A Retrospective, curated by sculptor K.S Radhakrishnan, who was also a student of Ramkinkar. Prof. K.G Subramanyan and Prof. A. Ramachandran have been advisors to the curator. The exhibition was inaugurated on February 8, 2012.
The retrospective includes over 350 works from various important collections including paintings, drawings, graphics and sculptures- covering about six decades of his artistic journey. The exposition is also enhanced by diverse media interventions such as photographic blow ups, digital prints, texts and video clips in an attempt to ontextualize the man and the artist in the most comprehensive manner.
The exhibition will subsequently travel to its regional centers at Mumbai and Bengaluru.
Madrid. A sculpture of former Spanish dictator Francisco Franco set inside a refrigerator by Spanish artist Eugenio Merino was the biggest draw at a major contemporary five- day art fair which opened on 15 February in Madrid.
The sculpture, titled Always Franco, is made of resin, silicon and human hairwas one of the most sought after by visitors to the fair, which featured works from 215 art galleries in 29 countries. The sculpture shows the general wearing a green uniform and dark sunglasses with his knees bent inside the fridge, which is decorated with a white and red design similar to the Coca-Cola logo.
Merino said his piece is meant to be a statement on how the former dictator, who ruled from the end of the Spanish Civil War in 1939 until his death in 1975, continues to make headlines in Spain.
Barcelona-based gallery ADN is asking $40,000 for the sculpture.
Kolkata. India's first permanent prison art gallery opened at the Alipore Correctional Home in Kolkata. The gallery named Srishtikala Bhavan is a joint venture of Flight to Harmony Foundation and Directorate of Correctional Services, Government of West Bengal.
The gallery has opened with 50 paintings of 30 convict-artists of Alipore Correctional Home.
The opening of Srishtikala Bhavan came up after two days of intensive art workshop where about 30 inmates and 30 professional artists including artists like Shanu Lahiri, Robin Mandal, Ganesh Haloi, Subrata Ganguly, Uma Siddhanta and Bipin Goswamy worked together.
Montreal. Two rare and valuable archeological artifacts were stolen late October last year from the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts. Founded in 1860, the museum is Canada's oldest art institution.
Details of the theft of the archaeological fragmentsan Assyrian low relief and a marble head dating from the Roman Empirewere withheld to avoid compromising police investigation. Tyler & Co. fine art loss adjuster Mark Dalrymple said the items are "very rare" and estimated to be worth several hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The thief blocked motion detectors and dodged video surveillance and round-the-clock guards at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts. Now the museum's insurer AXA Art is offering a $10,000 reward for help identifying a male suspect in his 30s from surveillance video footage, and an additional "substantial reward" for the safe recovery of the artifacts. The museum published photographs and a video of the suspect wearing a black vest, jeans and a baseball cap, but his face is blurred. Investigation is still going on.


Jorge Mora is surely not a new name in Maltese football as two season ago, when Birkirkara were crowned champions for their third time, Jorge was defending our posts. The Spanish goalkeeper's skills were extremely important to win this honour. Without any doubt, he remained in the memory of thousands of Birkirkara supporters. In the Premier League he made 26 appearances and he managed to register 9 clean sheets.
On the other hand, Michael Galea decided to no longer play for Birkirkara FC after opting not to renew his contract with the Club.
Michael Galea made 334 appearances in his career and he managed to score no less than 177 goals. He is the third best scorer ever in Maltese football, after Stefan Sultana and Gilbert Agius. However Galea holds a better average number of goals when considering the fact that he played much less than the other two scorers.
Without any doubt, all Maltese supporters will remember Michael Galea not only for the large amounts of goals he scored but also for the great loyalty and respect he showed towards Birkirkara FC.
With the Stripes, Galea won all the major honours including three league championships, five FA Trophies and ended as Premier League top scorer in 2005/06.
Birkirkara, who have appointed Patrick Curmi as their new coach, secured the services of Leighton Grech on Friday.


May has asked the bloc for a second delay to the U.K.'s departure.
British Prime Minister Theresa May arrives for a two-day summit of European Union leaders on March 21, 2019 in Brussels, Belgium.
The EU's 28 leaders, including British Prime Minister Theresa May, are heading to Brussels for an emergency summit dedicated to Brexit. This after May asked the bloc for a second delay to the U.K.'s departure.
It's widely expected that the U.K. will be granted a longer, flexible extension with conditions attached, however, according to an invitation letter sent to EU leaders by European Council President Donald Tusk on Tuesday.
"I believe we should also discuss an alternative, longer extension. One possibility would be a flexible extension, which would last only as long as necessary and no longer than one year," Tusk said in his letter.
A draft EU document circulated to diplomats ahead of the emergency meeting of EU leaders proposes an extension but leaves the date blank. It also notes that an extension cannot be used to undermine the EU or to start trade talks.
German Finance Minister Olaf Scholz told CNBC Tuesday that Germany is "well-prepared for an agreement or a Brexit without an agreement … (but) it would be better to have something that is with a deal," he told CNBC's Annette Weisbach Tuesday.
Scholz welcomed talks between May and opposition Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn and said "the main thing now is to get an agreement in Parliament … I'm still a big fan of the tradition of pragmatism in Great Britain and I'm sure that this tradition will be a basis for a solution."
Ahead of the summit, sterling edged up to trade at $1.3073 and London's FTSE 100 was flat, at 7,419.
The U.K.'s request for an extension comes after a prolonged period of disarray in British politics over Brexit with 'Brexiteers' and 'Remainers' still sorely divided over the departure.
A majority of British lawmakers rejected May's Brexit deal three times and failed to find a majority in support of alternative options, but also rejected a departure without a deal. May has been holding cross-party talks in the hope that a compromise can be found over the deal.
Although there has been some reluctance among certain EU members (notably France) to grant the U.K. more time, with concerns the U.K. would have to take part in EU Parliamentary elections in late May but as a departing member could disrupt the EU's decision-making processes.
None the less, there is a recognition that a no-deal departure – the now infamous "cliff-edge" scenario where there is no post-EU transition period -- would be economically and politically disruptive for both the U.K. and its counterparts across the channel.
Tusk's invitation letter came after May traveled to Berlin and Paris Tuesday for talks with the German and French leaders in a bid to secure backing for a second delay to Brexit. German Chancellor Angela Merkel said a delay until the start of 2020 was a possibility.
Meanwhile, Downing Street said in a statement that May had sought to reassure French President Emmanuel Macron that the U.K. government was "working very hard to avoid the need for the U.K. to take part" in EU Parliamentary elections.

Q: Передать в jquery данные из  как две переменные -- динамические значения id= и value= Я использую clockpicker (https://weareoutman.github.io/clockpicker/) для создания формы ввода времени на php странице.
Страница работает так:
<?php while // ...извлекаются строки из таблицы mysql

// генерируется много (около 30, может быть как меньше, так и больше) вот таких карточек, каждая из которые имеет случайные значения card_numuber и card_time:

echo
 ;
echo
 $row['card_numuber']
 ;
echo
<input id='$row['card_numuber']' type='text' class='form-control' value=".$row['card_time'].">
;
echo
 ;
?>

Далее, с помощью вот такого скрипта:

Я планирую получить переменные, чтобы передать их в базу данных mysql с помощью другого php скрипта (эту часть я уже сделал).
Т.е. мне нужно передать в jquery две переменные, данные соответствуют:
card_time это value=".$row['card_time']."
card_numuber это id='$row['card_numuber']'
Данные динамические, случайные и уникальные.
Вопрос: как мне это сделать? Пожалуйста, помогите.

A: $('.clockpicker-with-callbacks').clockpicker({
    donetext: 'Done',
    afterDone: function() {
    var card_time = $(this).val();
    var card_numuber = $(this).attr('id');

    console.log(card_numuber, card_time);
    $.post( "2_settime.php", {
        card_numuber: card_numuber, card_time: card_time
    })

    }
})

A: Вот что как следует обходиться с clockpicker'ом:
    $('.clockpicker-with-callbacks').each(function() {
    var input = $(this).find("input")[0];
    $(this).clockpicker({
        donetext: 'Done',
        afterDone: function() {
            var card_time = input.value; // The current value of the input
            var card_numuber = input.id; // The input's ID

            console.log(card_numuber, card_time);
            $.post( "2_settime.php", {

Noncovalent Bonds
by Jason Amores Sumpter
So now that we've covered Covalin bombs in our previous lesson videos in this video, we're going to introduce non co violence bonds. And so non co Vaillant bonds are really just defined as interactions between two atoms resulting from full or partial charges. Now, unlike the co Vaillant bonds that we talked about in our previous lesson videos, When it comes to non Covalin bonds, there's absolutely no sharing of electrons and so recall from our previous lesson videos that the word Co Vaillant is referring to the sharing of electrons. But if we add the non in front of the Covalin, of course, that means no sharing of electrons. So that's an important distinction between the co violent and the non co violent bonds. Now there are several different types of non Covalin bonds that are common in biology and moving forward in our course. We're going to talk about some of these different types of non Covalin bonds, and you can see that here we're showing you a table of some of the different types of non Covalin bonds and really they could be broken up into two major groups. There are strong electrostatic interactions, and then there are weak Vander Wal's interactions. Now for our biology course, we're not really going to talk a lot about the week. Vander Wal's interactions. You'll get to learn more about the week Vander Waals interactions in your chemistry courses. But for our biology course moving forward, we're gonna focus our attention mainly on the strong electrostatic interactions. And really, there are two different types that you should be aware of. There are Ionic bonds, and then there are hydrogen bonds. And so if we take a look at the table the map that we have down below, you'll see that this table corresponds really, really nicely with the map. And so, once again, here is the map of our lesson on chemical bonds, and we know already in our previous lesson videos. We've been following this map following the left most branches first. So already in our previous lesson videos, we've talked about Covalin bonds, including non polar co violent and polar Covalin bonds. So here in this video, we're starting to talk about this other branch here, the non Covalin bonds and, as we mentioned already, that could be broken up into two major groups. The strong electrostatic interactions. And then the week Vander Wal's interactions like this week, little guy over here. Now, once again, the week Vander Waals interactions were not really going to talk about, uh, our course moving forward. You'll get to learn more about the week Vander Waals interactions when you take your chemistry course, but for our biology course, were mainly gonna focus on these strong electrostatic interactions, which include the Ionic bonds and the hydrogen bonds. And so we'll get to talk more about the ionic and hydrogen bonds moving forward. In our course, we'll start off with the Ionic bonds, and then, after talking about those, we'll move on to talking about the hydrogen bonds so that being said, I'll see you all in our next video.

This is intended for those among you who – like me – enjoy looking through other people's photograph albums. It's a random selection of highlights and memories from a busy and rewarding career in broadcasting.
… some early publicity pictures. Butter wouldn't melt!
Being kicked out of the Criccieth B & B owned by the actor Stewart Jones, where we had all been staying while on a tour throughout Wales with Ryan and Ronnie. Feeling the toe of Stewart's boot are (top to bottom) Ronnie Williams, me, the singer Bryn Williams, Ryan Davies and, flat out at the front, the veteran broadcaster Alun Williams. It was all set up, of course, much to the amusement of the children cheering through window.
We undertook several of these tours throughout Wales and played to packed theatres each night because Ryan and Ronnie were immensely popular with Welsh television audiences. Ryan was a mercurial, highly motivated individual, able to turn his considerable talents to almost any branch of entertainment. Sadly, those whom the gods love die young and we lost Ryan when he was just 40 years old.
Here, at the Triton in Liverpool for Poems and Pints, again with Ryan Davies and the actor Norman Rossington.
With the musician and broadcaster Steve Race, a cherished snapshot from the occasion when we were both presenting programmes from the Llangollen International Eisteddfod, Steve for BBC1 and I for BBC Wales television.
On a six-week tour of Norway for NATO in the seventies with the harmonica virtuoso Tommy Reilly, his singer/songwriter son David (top right) and Norwegian musician Sigmund Groven.
Several years later, in my decade as an independent producer, I made a documentary in the US about the Welsh-American singer Thomas Ll. Thomas, known as 'The Voice of Firestone' because he presented The Firestone Hour, a live classical music programme shown coast-to-coast in America every Sunday night. He, like me, had been brought up in Maesteg before the family emigrated to Pennsylvania. I caught up with his widow, Celia, in Phoenix, Arizona.
I do hope you enjoyed leafing through the album.
