Ownership Structure of Chinese Professional Football Clubs: Chinese Super League, China League 1 and China League 2
April 1, 2021 Tobias Ross
Hi, my name is Tobias Ross and I am a PhD student in the School of Politics and International Relations at the University of Nottingham. In my dissertation, I seek to take the Chinese government's recent push to develop national football – The Chinese Football Dream – as a case study to explain state-business relations in Chinese policy-making.
In the course of my research, I have compiled a list of the ownership structures of Chinese professional football clubs in the Chinese Super League, China League 1 and China League 2 for the year 2021. Here is the PDF file – Club owners_2021.
Even with Chinese language skills, it is extremely difficult to get this information.
I am publishing this list in the hope of receiving feedback from you. If you notice any incorrect information and/or the information is no longer up to date, please contact me via Twitter. I would be happy to get in touch with you.

China-EU or EU-China Sports Diplomacy?
Dezember 29, 2017 Ilker Gündogan
Earlier this month (December 2017), the team of China Football 8 was invited to participate in the 'Seminar on Sport Diplomacy' in Brussels. The seminar was organised by the Directorate-General for Education, Youth, Sport and Culture of the European Commission, as a follow-up to the High-Level Group on sports diplomacy set up in 2015 by Commissioner Tibor Navracsics in order to elaborate political initiatives and recommendations in this field. The group included active and former athletes, academics, think-tank and media representatives. In an interview with the think-tank 'Sport et Citoyenneté', Mr Navracsics indicated that the High-Level Group's work might lead to more coordinated efforts by the EU Member States to harness the potential of sport for diplomacy and 'make the EU a stronger global actor.'
On November 2016, the General Secretariat of the Council issued its conclusions on sports diplomacy. Sport is considered 'a possible tool in supporting intercultural, economic and political cooperation and understanding between nations and cultures'. Moreover, sport is assigned the ability to 'shape perceptions in order to support reaching broader foreign policy goals' and promoting values such as 'fair play, equality, respect for diversity, integrity, discipline, excellence, friendship, tolerance and mutual understanding which bring different people and countries together.' Projects related to sports diplomacy should be realised through the EU funding programmes in the area of EU External Relations as well as through the Erasmus+ programme.
Against the background of these developments, the big question is of course: what are the target countries? And within the framework of this blog, the obvious question is whether the People's Republic of China (PRC) could be a target country or even a partner of EU sports diplomacy.
According to Professor Thierry Zintz, the Dean of the Faculty of Sports Sciences of the Université Catholique de Louvain and rapporteur of the High-Level Group, sport is a source of cultural soft power. This definition fits very well with the official statements of Mr Xi Jinping, President of the PRC. On October 2017, Mr Xi Jinping delivered a report at the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC) where he revealed that China's political leadership will 'speed up efforts to build China into a powerful sports nation'. To achieve this goal, the CPC 'will strengthen people-to-people and cultural exchanges with other countries, giving prominence to Chinese culture while also drawing on other cultures, […] improve our capacity for engaging in international communication so as to tell China's stories well, present a true, multi-dimensional, and panoramic view of China, and enhance our country's cultural soft power.'
The concept of soft power has been used and abused in studies about China in recent years. The major problems are the imprecise contextualisation, wording, quantifying and application of this concept. Some argue it is no longer relevant in the context of sport mega-events. Nonetheless, the very vague derivation and interpretation of the concept is also used in the context of the developmental aspirations in Chinese football and the hosting of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics and Paralympic Games.
One month after Mr Xi Jinping's speech at the 19th National Congress of the CPC, Mr Navracsics and Chinese Vice-Premier Mrs Liu Yandong met on the occasion of the 4th EU-China High-Level People-to-People Dialogue in Shanghai. In this context, the topic of sports was discussed for the first time.
However, the question remains whether China is a target of European sports diplomacy, or whether it is perhaps the other way round! The fact is that there are various cooperation opportunities associated with sports, such as in fields of health, governance, economics, education, etc. Sport in general, and football, in particular, have a multi-dimensional impact on human beings: they attract a lot of attention, trigger emotions and create a strong sense of belonging or rejection, have increasing economic weight, and immediate implications on public health. Sport is indeed a promising avenue for engaging in People-to-People dialogue not only on 'high level', but also between sportspeople and citizens.
It remains to be seen whether the diplomatic relations between the EU and China in this specific field will lead to mutual influence and exchange, beyond 'soft-power' posturing.

My name is Ilker Gündogan. I was born in Gelsenkirchen, Germany, in 1988. I am a PhD candidate at the Ruhr-University Bochum and ESSCA School of Management. My current research focuses on China's football politics and market creation in the era of Xi Jinping. The overarching research question of my dissertation project relates to the understanding of current developments in Chinese football: what are, beyond official and popular narratives, the underlying motivations of the Chinese government to promote football in an unprecedented manner? Or, in a nutshell: why football? And: why now? And what does this case study of the big football reform programme tell us about policy-making in contemporary China, especially with regard to the complementarity of top-down and bottom-up impulses of policy initiation?
This is my first blog post. This blog is featuring both academic reflexions (including from guest contributors) and general information on Chinese football (both in historical and contemporary perspective). The objective of the online presence is to set up, beyond the dissertation project, a small standing group of industry experts, observers and scholars from various disciplines who are interested in working on football in Chinese society, politics and economics and who can bring together their different expertise and methodology in a loose network.

Q: Seperating Charges in a Cell Sorry for not being detailed for my question here but how do charges seperate in a cell and when the electrons are pumped out of the battery does it return and become positive ? Yet again sorry if I don't make sense but I'm just wondering how it works.

A: you might be confusing batteries and capacitors. While both always stay relatively neutral, the capacitors store charges on thin metallic sheets separated by dielectric and usually made into rolls to save space while the batteries store chemical energy and a chemical process drives electron current between the terminals. in case of lead battery the negative terminal is connected to the plates made of lead and which can react with sulfuric acid and release electrons which should travel through the circuit, the same reaction produces hydrogen ions that travel through the electrolyte toward the plates made of lead dioxide and meet there with the electrons that traveled through the circuit and getting converted into water while lead dioxide gets converted into lead sulfate. When a lead battery is completely discharged most of its lead dioxide is converted into lead sulfate.

Battle of Britain chapel, Westminster Abbey
http://www.bbm.org.uk/WestminsterAbbey.htm
The memorial panels designed by Hugh Easton
Harpenden craftsmen made RAF memorial windows in Westminster Abbey
From a press cutting, c.1947
The unveiling of the stained and painted glass window at the RAF Battle of Britain Memorial Chapel, which aroused countrywide interest, reflected in no small measure the accomplishment of two Harpenden firms, who were concerned with the construction of the window.
Designed by Mr Hugh Easton, the window was constructed by Messrs Hawes and Harris of Leyton Road, Harpenden, and the task of painting was carried out by Mr Robert Hendra, Mr Geoffrey Harper and colleagues, at their studio at "Little Gables", Leyton Road.
The window forms the principal part of the Memorial, is composed of 48 lights, each measuring 4ft by 1ft, and extends across the entire east wall of the chapel.
Work on the window begun in the autumn of 1945 and took some eighteen months to complete.
When it is considered that the lower lights of the window contain the badges of the 63 fighter squadrons that took part in the battle, the extent of the task can be appreciated. The window also contained the symbolic blue clad figures of a sergeant, a pilot officer, a flying officer and a squadron leader.
The firm of Hawes and Harris is one of the few in Britain engaged on constructing memorial windows, and orders are received from all parts of the country.
From photographs of original drawings, full size drawings are made at the artists' studio, and on these are planned the various sections of different coloured pieces of glass. The plan is then sent to Messrs Hawes and Harris who select and cut the glass to the required size.
When the glass is cut the pieces are assembled on the plan at the studio, and the outline of the subject is "traced" on the glass. Composite panels are installed in a vertical frame or easel, so that they are transparent to the artist who applies the various colours with a special paint containing iron oxide.
When painting is completed, the panels are dissected and returned to Messrs Hawes and Harris, where the pieces are "baked" in a kiln at a high temperature so that the glass absorbs the paint. This ensures long life to the colour, a contrast to old methods, when enamel paint was used.
The pieces are finally re-assembled, permanently fixed together with lead, and the joins are sealed watertight with putty.
Founders of Hawes and Harris were Mr George Harris, who is still actively associated with it, and the late Mr Cecil Hawes, a well-known Harpenden personality who died a few years ago.

Westminster Abbey - the Lady Chapel - Royal Airforce Chapel
At the eastern end of the magnificent Lady Chapel built by King Henry VII is a chapel dedicated to the men of the Royal Air Force who died in the Battle of Britain between July and October 1940.
This chapel received damage from bombs that fell in that year and a hole made in the stonework has been preserved and covered with glass. The Tudor glass in the window had also been blown out at the same time.
The Dean of Westminster was approached early in 1943 by Mr N.Viner-Brady who suggested the idea of a memorial to "The Few". Dean Labilliere chose this small chapel as one suitable for the purpose.
Lord Trenchard (Marshal of the RAF) and Lord Dowding (who led Fighter Command during the Battle) headed a committee to raise funds for the furnishing of this chapel and for a stained glass window. The English walnut altar was designed by A.E.Richardson with sculptured figures of King Arthur and St George (although an embroidered frontal usually covers them). The silver cross, candlesticks and rails were designed by J.Seymour Lindsay. The chapel was unveiled by King George VI on 10 July 1947.
The Battle of Britain Memorial Window
The stained glass window, by Hugh Easton, contains the badges of the fighter squadrons that took part in the Battle. In four panels are shown visions which symbolise the Redemption. In one a squadron leader kneels before the Virgin Mary and the Christ Child. Below this she is represented in her sorrow with the dead Christ across her knees (a symbol of the sacrifice of the mothers and widows of those who died in the conflict).
On the opposite side a panel shows a sergeant pilot kneeling before the Crucifixion (a symbol of the sacrifice of the pilot himself). Lastly, above this, is the Resurrection seen by a pilot officer (representing the pilots' triumph).
Seraphim, with six wings and with hands outstretched to paradise, are shown in the top row of the window.
In the central section are the Royal Arms, the badge of the Fleet Air Arm and the badge and motto of the RAF "Per Ardua ad Astra" (Through struggle to the Stars) together with the furled flags of New Zealand, Canada, Australia, South Africa, Czechoslovakia, Poland, Belgium, and the United States of America.
In two of the bottom panels are words from Shakespeare's Henry V "We few, we happy few, we band of brothers". Painted on the stonework below the glass are the names of six RAF war leaders (added in 1989). Trenchard and Dowding are buried in this chapel.

The photo is of my uncle Anthony Harper. His brother Geoffrey Harper was the stained glass artist who worked with his partner Robert Hendra and the designer Hugh Easton. My uncle was a portrait painter and helped out when they had big commissions like the Westminster Abbey windows. My uncle lived in Blackheath, but my father had his studio at No 4 High Street and lived in Kirkwick Avenue. He tragically died young in October 1966 when he was only 53 years, at the height of his artistic powers. He had a long association with the glaziers Hawes and Harris in Harpenden.
By Francesca Stevens
My uncle, Edward (Ted) Bigg worked for Hawes and Harris and was one of a couple of window makers who physically made the window; placing all the pieces in order and then lead-soldering them together. The combination of glass dust and lead fumes led to his early death, from emphysema, in 1972, aged 58.
By Peter Bigg
I believe my father Frank Chapman was recalled from East Africa (Kenya) to help construct this window: he was a Radio Operator in the RAF. I think Hawes & Harris needed staff and RAF was able to help, by flying back my father. This must have been a rare occurence to repatriate a LAC (Leading Aircraftsman) by air. I remember going to Westmister Abbey many years ago and handing over the full size diagram (I think it was called a Cartouche) with my Dad. The building manager said that it would be very useful, as it labelled each colour of glass used, if any damage occured to the window.
By Steve Chapman
My uncle William Bruton (now deceased), was one of the glaziers who worked on the Battle of Britain windows. He lived in Harpenden and was in the Royal Navy during the 2nd World war.
By Linnette Tedman
Along with all my family, I am very proud of my father, Geoffrey Harper, who shared a stained-glass studio with his partner, Robert Hendra, located behind the George pub in the High Street. Perhaps their most famous contribution to church windows was the Battle of Britain window in Westminster Abbey in London. It was designed by a Hugh Easton, but my father and his partner painted and constructed the actual window. My sister Fran Stevens has written a book about the huge amount of work they produced - copies available from her.
By Adrian Harper
I was brought up in St Albans and my father, Norman Hudson was a good friend of both Geoffrey and Tony - after whom I was named! I have a vivid memory, as a small boy in the early fifties, of visiting the studio in the High Street, and watching in wonder as Geoffrey showed how he stained and painted glass. Tony painted a portrait of my sister Penelope when she was seven - which would have been 1950 or there abouts. It hung on our sitting room wall throughout my life at home with my parents, and now hangs in my sister's home in Montacute, Somerset.
Fast forward to the mid-eighties, and I had bought a derelict farmhouse on the mountain of Foia near Monchique in the Algarve. Amongst the local ex-pats we became quite close to a couple from Blackheath named Stuart and Joyce Ross, who had lived on the mountain since before the revolution. One night they were entertaining us to dinner, and as we had our baby daughter with us she was put in Stuart's study to sleep. On the wall was a portrait of Stuart's daughter, unmistakably painted by yes, Tony Harper. The Blackheath connection! Sorry to ramble on, but at least Fran and Adrian can now know the whereabouts of at least two of their uncle's paintings.

The EMPEROR X™ is the thickest snare head ever made by REMO®. It was changed into a production item after more and more artists began ordering them as custom heads.
Mike Fasano (Warrant) who was the first to create the buzz about the new 20-mil head, loved the idea of a "snare head with this much attitude". He in turn got John Tempesta (Rob Zombie) and Matt Sorum (Velvet Revolver), Tre Cool (Green Day) and Travis Barker (The Transplants) hooked on the new head too, and the list continues to grow.
Marketing efforts have fueled the demand in stores and made this one of our best introduced heads ever. For hard hitters, you'll love the sound and durability.


Every once in a while I need a good fiction book and this August The President is Missing by Bill Clinton and James Patterson hit the mark.
I listened to the Audiobook read by Dennis Quaid and I think it was a great way to take my mind off the football season while I drove and took my morning walks. This action-packed mystery offers a behind the scenes peek into all a President balances within a week.
The story is told mostly from the perspective of widowed President Duncan who is faced with an impossible situation. A computer virus threatens to be released, his blood disease has flared up, and to top it all off he has a leak in the White House.
Every time I expected a typical turn mysteries take this book shifted the story in a new direction. The ending was stunning and satisfying. The political setting stays in the background for most of the story, so regardless of your politics this is a great read.

Twitter Says The Japanese Goblin Emoji is Actually A Lesbian Sex Toy
Emojis have long been subject to interpretation by kids, teens, and of course, Twitter. But this isn't your everyday humdrum butt-peach or eggplant dick. We've ascended to emoji dildo statusand it may be historically accurate.
The Twitter user fittingly named Whores of Yore pointed out that the Japanese Goblin mask emoji, the pointy-nosed character added to the emoji library in 2015, is actually an ancient strap-on called the "tengu mask."
A 17th century shunga woodblock printing from Japan depicting two women having sex. One has tied a tengu mask around her waist, and penetrates her partner using its long nose. pic.twitter.com/UxKMksN2t0
— Whores of Yore (@WhoresofYore) February 17, 2018
According to the 17th century shunga woodblock painting, one woman would tie the tengu mask around her waist to penetrate another woman, infusing the classic strap-on sex toy with a little freakiness. "Tengu" is actually a demon in Japanese folklorean animalistic beast that's a sworn enemy of the Buddhist faithwhich, for some reason, only makes me want a tengu dildo more.
Some Twitter users were shocked, joking that they'll never look at the goblin emoji the same way again. Personally, I'll be upping my usage of the goblin dildo mask emoji, and it looks like other people feel the same.
I wish this was the universal emoji/symbol of a strap on. So simple to ask for what you want
— Selina.D.M (@SelinaDMoses) April 19, 2018
Thank you, Whores of Yore, for shining a light on such an important part of world history.

Q: Is there a way to directly read data in an Excel attachment received in an email in Microsoft Power Automate? I have created a MS Flow which triggers as soon as an email with attachment comes into the inbox folder, now this part I am able to achieve it and also i am able to add action to get attachment successfully from the email.
What I want to achieve or know is?
Now I want to read the data inside the received attachment directly in the MS flow without storing it any location of any sort, reading the data inside the attachment directly from the email.
Is it possible or this is a wrong expectation and we have to store it in share point or one drive or any other location to read the data inside the excel attachment received in the email?
IF this is possible to read data inside attachment received along with email directly from MS flow, can you please let me know step by step how to do it as fairly new to the flow?
Searched blogs did not find anything related to the query I have.

A: There is no way to directly read the attachment from email in Power Automate or a logic app. We have to store it somewhere then only we can read it.

UPDATE: The fundraiser is over, and while I unfortunately was not able to meet my goal, I received enough donations to cover Trump's Friday rally in Grand Rapids, Michigan instead. Thanks for your support!
The election may be over, but they've gone and pulled me back in. President Donald Trump is currently doing something that is unprecedented in American history: he's continuing to hold rallies, circumventing the mainstream media and bringing his message directly to the voters who put him in office. Everything that's happened since Election Day has shown Trump to be a man of integrity and decisiveness, and I want to continue my election coverage by reporting on one of his USA Thank You rallies.
But in order to do so, I need your help.
President Trump and Vice President Mike Pence are holding a rally in Des Moines, Iowa this Thursday, December 8. Because Des Moines is close by and because I already reported on the Iowa caucus earlier this year, I want to get out there and report on Trump's rally. While I can no longer cover events via Twitter and Periscope, I can post video on my YouTube channel, and I will also be doing an article for Right On.
Due to the brevity of the trip and the short distance to Des Moines, my budget is only $200. This covers my car rental, gas, food, tolls and accommodation. However, due to the fact that the rally is on Thursday and Des Moines is a six-hour drive from Chicago, I need to leave by Wednesday afternoon. Because of this, I need to make my fundraising goal within 24 hours: by 9am EST on December 6. If I cannot make my goal by tomorrow morning, I will refund all donors on request. You can view my progress towards my goal in the fundraising thermometer in the sidebar.
If you've enjoyed my previous work on the election, I ask you to help me continue doing it. Big or small, $1 or $100, whatever you can spare helps me get the truth out.
For more information about supporting me financially, click here.
I greatly appreciate any and all help you can provide, and I truly appreciate those who've donated to my campaigns in the past. You are the people who make my work possible, and I hope to keep doing it for a long time to come.

How To Watch Texas's Primaries Like A Pro
Feb. 28, 2022 , at 6:00 AM
By Alex Samuels
Filed under 2022 Election
Brandon Bell / Getty Images
Texas has found itself making headlines pretty frequently these days. Last fall, it dominated much of the news cycle with back-to-back stories about the state's heavily gerrymandered congressional map, coupled with a stringent abortion law. And, just last week, the governor made headlines after he announced an order that would effectively penalize people who provide gender-affirming medical care to transgender children, in addition to classifying gender-affirming care as child abuse.
But now, the Lone Star State has another reason to stay in the limelight: After months of campaigning and prognostisticating, Texas's primary Election Day is finally (almost) here. Texas is not only the first state to hold its primary election this year, but it's also one of 36 states hosting a gubernatorial race in 2022. And — to no one's surprise — former President Donald Trump hasn't shied away from endorsing a number of Republican candidates in the traditionally red state.
Of course, there's a lot to keep an eye out for, but here are the five main threads we'll be tracking as results trickle in tomorrow evening:
Can Abbott beat opponents on his right flank?
Republican Gov. Greg Abbott is running for what on paper should be an easy third term: He has a colossal war chest, the endorsement of the Republican Party's current kingmaker (Trump), and an incumbency advantage.
Still, there are a few wrinkles in his plans for reelection.
For starters, he has a handful of Republican opponents on his right flank. And Abbott's two most formidable challengers — former Texas GOP Chairman Allen West and former state Sen. Don Huffines — have arguably pushed the governor further right, forcing him to confront questions about whether he's the right fit to lead Texas.

In the last two presidential elections, Texas has inched toward Democrats, but this hasn't stopped Abbott from signing a number of racist and illiberal bills into law since 2020 that restrict everything from what is taught in the classroom to the manner in which Texans can vote. Yet this might not be enough for some conservatives in the state. The Texas Tribune reported in February that some Republican voters have begun to question whether Abbott has done enough to deliver on his initial campaign promises. And if that wasn't enough to cast doubt on Abbott's reelection chances, it's possible that a local man challenging Abbott named Rick Perry — no, not the state's former governor — will distract voters on the ballot who mistake him for the wrong person.
There's arguably more working in Abbott's favor, though. Since late last year, he's led in every reputable, public statewide poll we could find that measured him against his Republican opponents — and by wide margins, too. According to an October 2021 University of Texas/Texas Tribune poll, 58 percent of the state's Republican voters said that Abbott would get their vote for governor. West, meanwhile, netted 12 percent of the vote, while Huffines received 7 percent. Chad Prather, a conservative commentator, earned 4 percent. And since then, Abbott's standing among voters has only improved. Per a January and February University of Texas/Texas Politics Project statewide survey, Abbott led all of his Republican challengers with 60 percent of the vote. No other Republican — including West, Huffines, Prather or Perry — received more than 15 percent of the vote among likely GOP primary voters. Moreover, in a recent University of Texas at Tyler/Dallas Morning News survey, a majority of Republicans indicated they like the way Abbott is handling his job as governor. Per the survey, 80 percent of Republicans said they either "strongly approve" or "approve" of how Abbott is doing his job.
Beyond the Republican primary, all eyes on the Democratic side will be on former presidential candidate Beto O'Rourke, who entered the gubernatorial primary with a splash last fall. Given O'Rourke's initial fundraising haul, high name recognition and polling advantage, winning the Democratic nomination should be an easy feat. But in 2018, the last time O'Rourke ran a statewide race in Texas, he fell short of expectations during the Democratic primary — especially around the state's border area counties. Plus, the dynamics this time around are much different: In the past four years, O'Rourke has run in — and lost — two high-profile races. And during his presidential run, he took controversial stances that could hurt his political standing in Texas. O'Rourke's run for governor still tests a somewhat interesting proposition, however: Can a politician whose shine has dulled considerably over the last few years salvage his reputation enough to not only clear the Democratic field — something that is still an open question — but also win a general election in a state that hasn't elected a Democrat to a statewide office since 1994?
Can Trump save Paxton from a runoff?
As we've documented previously, Trump has issued a number of endorsements for this year's midterm primaries — including at least 20 Republicans in Texas. For the most part, many of these statements of support have gone to sitting members of Congress (with a few notable exceptions). There is one race, however, where Trump's endorsement will really be put to the test. In the race for attorney general, embattled incumbent Ken Paxton (who is endorsed by Trump) faces a number of challengers that could make his reelection bid more difficult. Arguing he's unfit for office due to his ethical and legal baggage, there are three Republicans challenging Paxton this year: Land Commissioner George P. Bush, former Texas Supreme Court Justice Eva Guzman and Rep. Louie Gohmert (who, for what it's worth, is one of the fiercest Trump supporters on Capitol Hill).
While Paxton has the largest war chest, according to various reports, polls suggest a close race among the four Republicans, and it's not clear whether Paxton can make it through tomorrow without avoiding a runoff (a reality even he's acknowledged.)1 Per a February University of Texas at Tyler/Dallas Morning News poll, Paxton led Bush, 39 percent to 25 percent. Guzman landed in third with 13 percent of the vote, while Gohmert netted 7 percent.
Trump, of course, is no stranger to butting into competitive elections and calling out Republicans he deems insufficiently loyal to him, especially those who haven't vocally accepted his false claims that the 2020 election was unfairly stolen from him. What's interesting in this race, however, is that Paxton isn't the only Republican to have the former president's back. So, it'll be especially interesting to see whether Trump's endorsement is enough to save the incumbent from a runoff. And while we shouldn't put too much stock in Trump's standing in the GOP based on the results of just one Texas race, remember: The former president already suffered a small setback last year when Republican Susan Wright — his choice candidate for a special election in Texas's 6th Congressional District — narrowly lost her race in July to Rep. Jake Ellzey.
Who will win control of Texas's newest districts?
Thanks to Texas's population growth over the last decade, the state gained two additional congressional seats — more than any other state — during the reapportionment process. The question now, though, is: Who will win control of these new districts?
As my colleague Geoffrey Skelley and I wrote in September, the two new seats (one in Austin's metropolitan area, another in Houston's) aren't that competitive. In fact, following the redistricting process, there's only one competitive seat left, near the border. This is in large part because legislators made a number of Republican incumbents' seats even redder, while Democrats were packed into traditionally liberal — or once competitive — enclaves, like Austin and Dallas. As a result, the newest seat in Austin will be bright blue, while the Houston seat was intentionally drawn so that it's favorable for a Republican.

Partisan lean is the average margin difference between how a state or district votes and how the country votes overall. This version of partisan lean, meant to be used for congressional and gubernatorial elections, is calculated as 50 percent the state or district's lean relative to the nation in the most recent presidential election, 25 percent its relative lean in the second-most-recent presidential election and 25 percent a custom state-legislative lean.
What's interesting, though, is that the favorites for both seats are household names in Texas political circles: In Austin, Rep. Lloyd Doggett, a 27-year incumbent who has the backing of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, is largely seen as the front-runner for the seat adjacent to Texas's capital. He announced the decision in October to run in the newly created 37th District versus his current 35th District which, thanks to new redistricting lines, now runs through San Antonio.
In Houston, Republican Wesley Hunt, who made national headlines during his race against Democratic Rep. Lizzie Fletcher in 2020, is also favored to win the GOP primary in Texas's new 38th District. Beyond his fundraising edge, internal polls also give him the upper hand. And beyond that, he has the support of some notable members of the GOP establishment, like Trump and Sen. Ted Cruz. If both Hunt and Doggett win their respective primaries, they're both expected to sail through a general election.
Will Hispanic voters near the border gravitate toward Republicans?
Hispanic voters, on average, tend to support the Democratic Party. But in 2020, Trump made decisive gains among Hispanic voters living along Texas's border, winning 14 of the 28 counties there and flipping eight counties from blue to red. Of course, without Trump on the ballot it's hard to tell just how much Texas's Hispanic population will continue its rightward shift. But reporting so far suggests that at least Abbott and O'Rourke are paying close attention to get-out-the-vote efforts in South Texas, especially now that the state's new redistricting lines make the area less competitive for the GOP.
Beyond the marquee governor's race, Republicans are also determined to flip the 15th District, whose Democratic incumbent, Rep. Vicente Gonzalez, decided to seek reelection in a neighboring district (the 34th District) after redistricting made his original seat more competitive. What's more, the Republican candidate who gave Gonzalez a surprisingly close race in 2020, Monica De La Cruz, is running in the 15th District again and national Republicans, including Trump, have lined up to support her. The Democratic primary in that district, on the other hand, has been rather quiet. While a handful of Democrats are running for the seat, arguably none have gained quite the amount of traction De La Cruz has.
There's at least one other border-area congressional primary that's drawn national attention in recent months, too: the rematch between Democratic Rep. Henry Cuellar and progressive Jessica Cisneros, a human rights lawyer, in the 28th District. In 2020, Cuellar narrowly eked out a win, but his odds this time around are less certain. While Cueller has incumbency on his side, his home and campaign office were raided last month, as he is reportedly under federal investigation for connections he might have to companies or organizations connected to Azerbaijan. (In reviewing subpoenas associated with the investigation, ABC News found that many subjects had ties to the former Soviet Republic.) Cisneros, meanwhile, has the backing of notable fundraisers and congressional progressives, like New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Bernie Sanders. She has also attempted to focus her campaign on local issues impacting the district versus national progressive talking points that pundits (and Cuellar) previously warned might turn off Hispanic voters in the state. Still, beyond the FBI's reported probe into Cuellar, this race could, once again, serve as a litmus test to how far left Hispanic voters living in the district are willing to go. Cuellar so far has campaigned as a moderate with more experience, but it's unclear whether that'll be enough to overcome a potential scandal.
How will new voting laws affect turnout?
Texas is one of at least 21 states that enacted a new voting law since the 2020 election. But even before these latest restrictions, it was hard to vote in Texas: According to the cost of voting index, which evaluates state voting guidelines in their entirety, Texas in 2020 had the most restrictive electoral climate in the country. Taken together, that leaves a big question mark over how things like voting by mail, registering to vote and in-person voting will impact this year's races.
The law, which among other provisions requires absentee voters to provide specific information about their Social Security or driver's license numbers on their absentee-ballot application and gives more power to partisan poll watchers, is already creating some new barriers for voters and election administrators, too. In some of the state's biggest counties, like Harris and Tarrant, many Texans deemed eligible to vote by mail initially saw their mail-in ballot applications rejected due to new — and more strict — proof of identity requirements. Moreover, according to recent reports, some mail-in applications were submitted to the wrong office, which local officials said derailed the process of getting mail-in ballots to the right people in time. Other issues, like a shortage of voter registration forms have plagued the state, too.
Of course, it's difficult to say with any certainty how many people might not vote as a result of Texas's law (the state is already known for its historically low voter turnout). But early voting numbers so far suggest that a number of voters are sitting out this year's races — likely due to the voting law, a lack of enthusiasm or, probably, a mixture of both.
Whew, that's a lot to watch. But if you've read this far, then I bet you'd be interested in keeping up with our live blog of the election results that'll kick off tomorrow evening. Starting Tuesday evening at 7:30 p.m. Eastern, join us at FiveThirtyEight as we discuss all things Texas and dissect the results.
If no candidate in a Texas primary receives at least 50 percent of the vote, plus at least one additional vote, the top two vote-getters advance to a head-to-head runoff election on May 24.

If there has been a significant change to either parent's income or how much time a parent has the child in their care, a parent may move the court to have their child support order modified. The court will make such decisions based on each parent's current situation. This means the amount of child support owed each month could either increase or decrease.
If it is the paying parent who is seeking a modification, it is important to note that they are still responsible for paying the current amount due in child support until the modification is approved, even if their income or time spent with their child has changed. This is true even if the paying parent has lost their job. If the paying parent cannot meet these obligations, they may incur interest on the unpaid balance.
It is important that both parents have the financial means to care for their child post-divorce. If a parent experiences a job loss, a promotion or a change in the amount of time the child is in their care, a child support modification may be sought. However, until the modification is approved, child support will still be owed. Moreover, the amount of child support could go up or down regardless of which parent is seeking the modification. For these reasons, many parents pursuing a child support modification choose to seek professional guidance, so they can make decisions that are appropriate given their situation.

As single parents, we all have that one memory we can look back on where all dignity flew out the window. For me, it involved a new couch.
I was very proud of this new couch. It wasn't much, but I had saved up to buy it in an effort to add some class to my dingy, depressing little apartment.
But babies give no warning when they're sick and before I could move her, my poor daughter unleashed an ungodly amount of curdled milk vomit. It was all over her, all over the couch, and all over me.
At this point, I didn't know whether to try and save the couch, clean her, clean myself, call the advice nurse, try to calm my daughter down, or call my mom in a state of total panic…
I ended up calling my mom in a state of total panic.
Later that night, depression took over.
As a single mom, I was tired of how lonely my journey was becoming and I was tired of having to face everything on my own.
Things felt as if they were spinning out of control and I didn't have anybody else in the world to lean on.
I stared at my sad, vomit-covered couch — which I was viewing, at this point, as a symbol of my life — and I told myself: "Something's gotta give. Life has got to get better from here…"
Editor's Note: This article is part of our ongoing series The Roots Of Loneliness Project: Unearthing Why We Feel Alone, the first-of-its-kind directory that comprehensively explores the phenomenon of loneliness and 100+ types that we might experience over the course of our lives.
Click the link to find resources and information on virtually any form of loneliness you may be personally experiencing.
There are many different definitions of single motherhood and all our journeys are unique.
Some of us are widows, some are divorced, and some are separated. Some of us were never married in the first place.
Some of us have no contact with our child's father, while others share custody, and some of us are financially supported, while many of us are barely getting by.
Some of us are raising only children while others are balancing siblings across varying ages.
But despite all our differences, loneliness is the common factor that we share.
After all, being a single parent often means you have to face the joys and burdens of parenthood alone.
You have to make decisions on your own, both big and small, and you have to develop the confidence to stand by those decisions. You are the head of your household and the final word.
Loneliness also comes when trying to balance being a single woman with being a mom. You may want to find a new relationship — or even just a date every once in a while — but who has time for that? You're a mom first.
You're short on time, you're short on money, and having a social life would be considered a luxury that you'd probably feel guilty about having, anyway.
(Meanwhile, your child's father might be enjoying an active Tinder account and a carefree dating life…Best not think about that!)
Being a single mom also means that our circumstances are always changing. Some of us end up remarrying and having blended families while others stay single for life.
My own situation is a bit of an anomaly — At the moment, I am living under the same roof as my ex as we platonically co-parent our daughter. (Many call us crazy, but believe it or not, there are others like us!)
However in the beginning of my daughter's life, I lived alone with her in the aforementioned tiny apartment and from the time she was a baby to when she was about a year old, I was her sole provider.
If you ask me about those days, I'd quote A Tale of Two Cities: "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times…"
But from hardship comes growth and I learned some vital ways to deal with being a lonely single mom.
Realize you're NOT alone: In fact, according to the most recent Pew Research as of 2017, a full 32% of US children were living with an unmarried parent. 21% were living with a single mom, 4% with a single father, and 7% with cohabiting parents. You're not alone as a single mom, and you're not alone in your loneliness.
Let go of the life you thought you'd have: You may feel isolated from your married friends and you may think that they can't relate to what you're going through, but it's important to realize that all moms experience loneliness to varying degrees, whether they are married, divorced, or single.
The trick is to recognize when you're having "grass is greener" syndrome, or when you're looking at other moms through the distortedly happy lens of social media.
Everyone is fighting their own battles behind closed doors after all.
Sometimes, such as during the COVID-19 pandemic when loneliness became commonplace for so many, we're all fighting very similar battles behind our closed doors.
So let go of the idyllic life you thought you'd have (nobody has that life — real life is messy!), and let go of the mom guilt while you're at it.
Realize that nothing lasts forever: As my own mother likes to constantly remind me: the time when they're little is so precious!
If I could go back to when my daughter was an infant, I would have slowed down to enjoy it more. I would have reminded myself that this is just a brief stage of life — all the highs and all the lows and, yes, even the puked-on couches…
And to be honest, I would have taken advantage of therapy from the start so that I could learn how to dig myself out of the loneliness hole, both for my own sanity and so that I could be a better role model for my daughter.
Maintain your identity: We lose ourselves as moms and especially as single moms. It's so important that we prioritize our relationships with others, even when it feels like we don't have the time. Don't turn into a mombie — Find a babysitter or join a babysitting co-op and get out of the house!
Find support and resources: When my daughter was very little, I started a blog as a way to maintain my identity and reach out to other single moms.
In the course of my blog research, I learned that there is actually a plethora of services to help single moms cope.
For example, CoAbode is an excellent program that matches single moms who are looking to share housing. According to CoAbode, they were founded on the principle that "two single moms raising children together can achieve more than one going it alone."
Besides this, you can go online to find free mental health resources, free guidance regarding family and child custody conflict, and even college grants for single moms.
Bottom line: You may at times feel lonely as a single mom, but there are ways to cope emotionally, and ensure that you DON'T have to do it all alone.

Boston Bruins' Brad Marchand Added to COVID Protocol List
By: Luiza Vidal, Editor | March 27, 2021
The Boston Bruins head coach Bruce Cassidy announced on Saturday Brad Marchand was added to the NHL COVID Protocol List. He won't play the game against the Buffalo Sabres scheduled for Saturday afternoon.
#NHLBruins pregame updates per Bruce Cassidy:
Brad Marchand is out today (COVID protocols). Trent Frederic will play on the top line.
Jack Studnicka and Zach Senyshyn will re-enter the lineup .
Daniel Vladar will start in goal, Jaroslav Halak goes tomorrow. pic.twitter.com/1fJjrzEzml

Bruins' Brad Marchand On COVID Protocol List
The Bruins have been facing COVID-related issues for a week now. They had two games postponed against the Sabres and the New York Islanders due to five players being added to the protocol list. Now their top-liner and the key player will miss a game for the same reason.
Marchand is definitely a difference-maker for Boston and has 12 goals and 22 assists for 34 points in 29 games played this season. He missed the season's first weeks due to having surgery during the offseason. Of course, the 32-year-old shook it off as he went back into the lineup.
Throughout his 12-year NHL career, Marchand has 302 goals, 378 assists for 680 points in 780 career games. He helped the Bruins conquer the Stanley Cup in 2011, having 11 goals and eight assists for 19 points in 25 games during the 2010-11 playoffs. During his NHL career, the forward has appeared in 121 playoff games and has 37 goals and 58 assists for 95 points.
Lineup Changes for Saturday
According to Cassidy, the left-winger will be replaced by 23-year-old Trent Frederic. The youngster will get a chance to play with David Pastrnak and Patrice Bergeron on the top line. Frederic has four goals and one assist for five points in 29 games played this season.
Cassidy also announced the rookie centre Jack Studnicka will hop back into the lineup. Forward Zach Senyshyn was activated from injured reserve and is also set to play on Saturday replacing injured Karson Kuhlman.

John Moore to Miss Five to Six Months
The Bruins also announced defenceman John Moore will undergo a hip arthroscopy and labral repair on March 22. The 30-year-old has played five games this season, posting two assists. He's found his way up and down between the NHL and AHL, and likely wouldn't have played much down the stretch run for the Bruins anyways.

On behalf of Réseau FADOQ (formerly Fédération de l'âge d'or du Québec) and its nearly 450,000 members, malpractice lawyer Jean-Pierre Ménard filed a petition in federal court Monday to force the federal health minister to apply the Canada Health Act, in Quebec and other provinces.
Surcharges for opening a file, medication, vaccinations, eye drops, and procedures performed outside of the hospital system have increased since the early 2000s and amount to an estimated $50 million to $70 million a year in Quebec.
In an example of inflated billing, patients are charged $40 to $80 for eye drops that cost less than a dollar, Ménard said.
Canada could recover such sums from provinces by withholding federal health transfer payments, he said. And not just in Quebec, Ménard said, although the province is one of the worst offenders. Sections 18 to 20 of the Health Act stipulate that funds can be withheld in cases of over-billing.
Ménard dismissed a leak to the media from an anonymous source earlier this week, on Quebec Health Minister Gaétan Barrette's plans to put an end to the practice by folding the costs of add-on fees into physicians' salaries.
Patients have had enough of paying out-of-pocket fees while waiting for governments to negotiate agreements among themselves and with doctors, Ménard said.
Allowing users' fees for services that are covered by the public system violates the Canada Health Act and represents a growing and worrisome trend across the country, said Dr. Brian Hutchison of Canadian Doctors for Medicare. It creates a two-tiered system and jeopardizes access for those who are unable to pay fees, he added.
Patients, especially seniors, are facing barriers to care because extra fees are digging into their daily reserves, said Danis Prud'homme, director of Réseau FADOQ. Nearly one of two seniors, 44 per cent, live below the poverty line on pensions that come to less than $20,000 a year, he said, and they're forced to choose between paying for the rent or their health, between buying food or going to a health clinic.
Barrette was not available to comment. But his press attaché, Julie White, said in an email that the minister considers the lawsuit a futile measure since he intends to abolish extra fees by including them in doctors' salaries.
"Article 32 of Bill 20 prohibits extra fees," White said.
Filing the lawsuit was the fastest route to get action, Ménard said, adding that it could take nine months to a year before it is pleaded in court.
Reacting in Ottawa, federal Health Minister Jane Philpott said she is a strong supporter of the Canada Health Act and its principles and Canadians will always have access to care based on need and not on the ability to pay.
The Canada Health Act has already been used to sanction provinces that permitted illegal over-billing, largely in Ontario and Alberta, Hugo Viens of the Quebec Medical Association said. Previous federal governments have withheld nearly $225 million, he added.
Doctors, however, say they need accessory fees to boost their income to cover legitimate costs in an underfunded health system.
FADOQ's cause is supported by several doctors' associations, clinics, coalitions, citizens' groups, unions and patient advocate organizations, including Canadian Health Coalition, Conseil pour la protection des malades, Clinique communautaire Pointe-Saint-Charles, Alliance des associations de retraités, Association médicale du Québec, Coalition Priorité Cancer, Fédération interprofessionnelle de la santé du Québec, Alliance des patients, Syndicat canadien de la fonction publique, SCFP-Québec, Council of Canadians, Regroupement intersectoriel des organismes communautaires de Montréal, and patients' users committees.

Indiana University to Demo World's First Single-Channel 400G Link in New Network for Research and Education
DALLAS, Texas, Nov. 13, 2018 — Staff and faculty from Indiana University aim to make history this month by building the world's first single-channel 400-gigabit-per-second capable network for research and education. The connection will be capable of transmitting 50 gigabytes of data every second—or, enough to stream 16,000 ultra-high-definition movies simultaneously.
Experts from IU's Research Technologies division will unveil their demonstration, "Wide area workflows at 400 Gbps," at the 2018 International Conference for High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage, and Analysis, or SC18, in Dallas, Texas, November 11-16. The demo is IU's submission to the conference's annual Network Research Exhibition, which spotlights innovation in emerging network hardware, protocols, and advanced network-intensive scientific applications.
IU's demonstration will leverage the advanced capabilities of SCinet, the dedicated high-capacity network for SC18. For the duration of the conference, SCinet is the fastest and most powerful network in the world.
IU's Research Technologies division, which is affiliated with the Pervasive Technology Institute at Indiana University, has been an early adopter of cutting-edge network technology since 2003, when the distributed AVIDD Linux cluster, separated by 82 kilometers, was networked together using 10 Gbps Ethernet less than a year after the 10 Gbps Ethernet standard was approved in 2002. Additionally, in 2006 the Lustre-based Data Capacitor was using 10 Gbps Ethernet host adapters long before they were widely deployed. As part of the Data Capacitor project, Indiana University worked with Oak Ridge National Laboratory to examine the feasibility of mounting the Lustre file system across 10 Gbps networks to compute against data in place.
Stephen Simms, manager of IU's High Performance File Systems team and Data Capacitor grant co-principal investigator, said, "We could see the increasing rate of data production from digital instruments and simulations was creating datasets of such size that they were cumbersome to move. Simple data management tasks, like replication and version control, were becoming tricky operations. In cases like these we thought it might be advantageous to compute in place."
Neena Imam, deputy director of research collaboration in the Computing and Computational Sciences Directorate at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, whose contribution to the project was supported by the U.S. Department of Defense, said, "Lustre has been used at Oak Ridge National Laboratory for more than a decade at very-large scales for supporting multiple U.S. government agencies' mission needs. Innovative solutions based on Lustre for accessing data over large distances are needed as data sizes grow at unprecedented rates."
IU deployed Data Capacitor WAN, the first production Lustre WAN file system in 2009, which allowed researchers to compute against their data across distance, and made it available to the NSF TeraGrid project.
For SC18, and in partnership with researchers from Oak Ridge National Laboratory, IU will use a modest compute resource on the SC18 exhibit floor to mount Slate, a newly acquired Lustre file system from Bloomington, Ind., via four 100 Gbps links to Chicago, Ill., and the new Monon 400 research and education network, providing a single 400 Gbps channel that will connect Chicago to Bloomington.
The team at SC18 intends to benchmark file system performance over distance using multiple protocols and configurations. Additionally, they will be showcasing applications that could potentially benefit from computing in place across distance. For example, IU physicist Matthew Shepherd works on the GlueX program analyzing collision events created by the particle accelerator at Virginia's Jefferson Laboratory. The lab produces as much as seven PB of data per year and each PB of data contains about 50 billion collision events requiring about 10 million CPU hours to reconstruct trajectories of subatomic particles from raw electronics signals. Even at 400 Gbps, these data would be difficult to move and store on local resources. The team intends to run applications in Dallas against some of the data in Bloomington without having to bundle it all up and move it.
The idea for the most recent demonstration was born at the 2018 Lustre User Group conference, where researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (Nagi Rao, Sarp Oral, Jesse Hanley, and Neena Imam) presented data showing how it would be possible to increase Lustre performance across the WAN through the use of Lustre routers to aggregate and optimize data communication for high latency networks, work likewise supported by the U.S. Department of Defense.
Indiana University is working with, and grateful to, the following collaborators who will make this ground-breaking demonstration happen: Ciena, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, DataDirect Networks, Whamcloud, ESnet, Juniper, Mellanox, NVIDIA, PIER Group, SCinet, Starlight, and the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory.

Q: struts 2 jquery grid plugin change only one column header style Is it possible to change the style of only one column heard in grid ?!
The sjg:gridColumn has a cssClass property, but setting this css will only be applied to rows under the column, not the column header.
At JQGRID - Is it possible to change the background color of HTML header text in JavaScript? I got the code as:

in your HTML page. If you want make the changes for one column only
  you can use setLabel method:
$("#myGrid").jqGrid('setLabel','Price', '', {'background':'red'});
or
$("#myGrid").jqGrid('setLabel','Price', '', 'myColorClass');

But I could not make it work.
Finally, as the columns headers will have unique Id, I could use below:
document.getElementById("gridtable_sampleColumn").style.backgroundColor = "#FF0000";

Well do you think there is a better way. I was looking for some thing like this:
<sjg:gridColumn name="sampleColumn"
            cssClass="makeThisSmall" />

And in my css
.makeThisSmall{
  font-size : smaller;
}

Which did not work and only change the rows css not column header.
Also I find that the gridColumn has a formatoptions could this do what I am looking for ?!

A: There are no declarative way to set style/class of the column header for specific column (I exclude definition of the CSS rule where the id or the column name are set explicitly). So you should use setLabel to set it.
If you need to change background color then you should take in consideration that background-image have to be set to none too. Additionally you should don't forget that other CSS rules will be applied too and the rule with more specific CSS selector will win. For example the font-size in the column header will be applied because of the following rule from ui.jqgrid.css:
.ui-jqgrid .ui-jqgrid-view {
    font-size: 11px
}

which have two classes in the rule. If you want to change the value for columns having makeThisSmall class then you should define CSS rule like
.ui-jqgrid .ui-jqgrid-view .makeThisSmall {
    font-size: 8px
}

or
.ui-jqgrid-view .makeThisSmall {
    font-size: 8px
}

In any way it should be at least so complex or more complex as the CSS rule which you want to overwrite.
In the same way the background will be applied because of CSS rule which contains two classes too
.ui-widget-content .ui-state-default {
    background: ...
}

So you need define the corresponding deep (or deeper) CSS role too to be able to ovewrite it via class attribute.

If it makes you feel better I was already in school when you were born.
We will summarize all of this data into more manageable groups in about a week or two.

Aug. 09–Billionaire real estate developer Jeff Greene says he's sold off oil and energy investments that have become a flashpoint in his campaign to become Florida's next governor.
Greene, who listed $3.3 billion in assets this summer, said he sold off all his stake in Exxon Mobil Corp., Hess Corp., Kinder Morgan and Apache — all companies involved in oil and gas exploration or transportation. Altogether, his campaign said he sold a combined 245,000 shares in the companies for about $16.5 million.
Most of the investments were the source of criticism Wednesday by Democratic frontrunner Gwen Graham, with whom he's engaged in an increasingly contentious feud over the past week. Greene's announcement that he'd sold the stock came immediately after Graham's campaign blasted the oil and energy investments listed on his financial disclosure.
Graham's campaign said Greene was "profiting off Gulf oil drilling" and accused Greene of hiding the extent of his investment in oil and energy by declining to disclose the value of some of the investments he listed as secondary sources of income.
Greene countered Wednesday by saying he'd sold off those investments. He cast the decision as making good on a previous pledge to unload any investments that could pose "real or potential conflicts" should he become Florida's next governor.
The move was the latest in a political spat that started last week, sparked by controversy over the American Dream Miami mega-mall, in which Graham's family company is involved.
Greene started airing ads over the weekend attacking Graham's refusal to take a stance on the project, which environmental groups vehemently oppose. Graham shot back this week with an ad claiming that Greene was attacking her father — a claim that was a bit of a stretch, considering that Greene's ad does not mention her father, former Florida Sen. Bob Graham.
But then Greene came out with a second ad claiming that Gwen Graham is "threatening the Everglades by building a huge mega-mall there," which is not accurate.
Graham's family company, the Graham Companies, owns part of the land where the 175-acre mall will be built, and the company is building a mixed-used space just south of the mall, which is near the Everglades.
But Graham has never had a significant role within the company, according to her campaign. She quit the company's board in 2015, when she joined Congress, and was never in a position to direct the company's business, according to her campaign.
While she does stand to profit from the American Dream Miami project, she holds less than 5 percent of the company's stock, and less than 1 percent of its voting stock. Her campaign says she has placed her stock in the company in a transparent trust in order to distance herself from its decisions, and she has promised to recuse herself from any state oversight in the project should she become governor.
Greene's latest ad prompted St. Petersburg Mayor Rick Kriseman to come to Graham's defense.
Greene's campaign did not provide documentation to back up the sale of his stock. But his campaign said he sold 75,000 shares of Exxon Mobil at $80 a share, 150,000 shares of Hess Corp. at $65 a share, 10,000 shares of Kinder Morgan at $33 a share, and 9,800 shares of Apache at $46 a share.
Graham's campaign also criticized references on Greene's financial disclosure to California Resources Corp., Ness Energy, Occidental Petroleum, Blackburn Partners and Quantum Energy as secondary sources of income. But Greene said he either held no stock in those companies and they were listed out of an abundance of caution, or derives no income from his shares.
In the case of Quantum Energy Partners V, Greene's campaign said the asset is a hedge fund that will "self liquidate" by September 2019.
Greene said the investments he'd sold constituted "six tenths of one percent" of his assets. It's unclear when he sold the stock.
In the meantime, Greene continued to fire away at Graham on Wednesday, furthering a fight that doesn't appear likely to end any time soon.
