The Greatest 33 Non-Winners: Final Grid- A Reader Request Post
March 20, 2020 thepitwindow2 Comments
Editor's Note: This is the first reader request; originally published May 9, 2017
What a fun project this turned out to be! It was fascinating seeing how much those who submitted grids both agreed and disagreed. Some drivers got just one mention, while others appeared on every ballot. There was near unanimous placement for some drivers, and some drivers were near the front on some grids and near the back on others. The driver nearly everyone agreed should be on the pole is Michael Andretti (pictured above, from 1992).
I noticed the rankings were along age lines. Older fans close to my age seemed to have near identical grids, and younger fans as a group submitted similar lineups. Many drivers from long ago in general fared better on the lists from the older group. I was surprised how well the current drivers stacked up against the racers of the past. Another interesting detail is that all 50 driver finalists had at least one mention. I didn't expect that.
To rank the drivers, I assigned points to the drivers corresponding to their spot on each person's grid. A driver on pole got 1 point, the last driver got 33. If a driver was listed on pole on five grids, his total was 5. The lowest total won the pole. If a driver did not appear on someone's grid, he/she was given 34 points. To my shock, there were only two ties. I resolved placement by averaged each driver's highest and lowest rank of all the grades, with the lowest average getting the higher spot. One of the ties was for 32nd and 33rd. It was just like qualifying for the 1963 500.
The front row- Michael Andretti, Rex Mays, and Ted Horn, is strong. These drivers were in the top 10 on everyone's grid. Andretti led 431 laps, the most by any non-winning driver. he started on the front row three times and had 5 top 5 finishes. Rex Mays, in the middle of the front row is the only other driver to lead more than 200 laps and not win. Mays was on the pole four times. Ted Horn, on the outside of the front row, finished in the top five 9 times in 10 starts.
So here they are, the Greatest 33 Non-Winners of the Indianapolis 500:
Michael Andretti
Rex Mays
Ted Horn
Harry Hartz
Marco Andretti
Lloyd Ruby
Gary Bettenhausen
Ralph Hepburn
Roberto Guerrero
Scott Goodyear
Carlos Munoz
Eddie Sachs
Jack McGrath
Tomas Sheckter
Tony Bettenhausen
Joe Leonard
Jimmy Snyder
Ed Carpenter
Danny Ongais
Pancho Carter
Mel Kenyon
Kevin Cogan
Row 10
Vitor Meira
Russ Snowberger
Paul Russo
Tom Alley
Johnny Thomson
George Snider
it's kind of fitting that Snider is last on the grid. his trademark was jumping into a car on Bump Day and getting into the field starting near the back. Thanks to everyone who submitted a grid. I really enjoyed reading your thoughts and reasoning as to how yo put your grids together.
I will be back tomorrow with some 500 news and a report on my visit to the A. J. Foyt exhibit at the Speedway Museum. The cars were great to see, but the memorabilia was even more amazing to me. Thursday I will have my Indianapolis Grand Prix preview with my normally inaccurate winner's prediction.

Honda Sweeps Doubleheader; Race 2 and Weekend Thoughts

Another drought ended yesterday as Ryan Hunter-Reay chased down teammate Alexander Rossi, forced him to make a mistake, and won for the first time in 42 races. On Saturday, Marco Andretti ended his five year pole drought and Scott Dixon won his first race in nearly a year. Honda won both poles and both races in the home games for Chevy in Detroit.
Unlike Saturday, drama started in turn 3 of the first parade lap, when GM Vice President Mark Reuss spun the Corvette ZR-1, slammed head first into the wall, and bounced back in front of the field. Pole sitter Rossi was the only car able to get past wounded pace car. The others later returned to pit lane after the car was cleared. Rene Binder stalled the engine and needed a tow back to the pits. After a 30 minute delay, Oriol Servia, in a backup pace car, led the field to the green flag.
Sunday's race looked a lot like Saturday's event. teams used different pit strategies with some cars opting for a three stop race. Ryan Hunter-Reay was one of the first to pit. meanwhile, Rossi was running away from the field. Rossi and Hunter-Reay exchanged the lead on pit stops. Rossi, on a two stop schedule, took the lead when Hunter-Reay pitted on lap 53. A 63. second stop put the deficit to Rossi at 10 seconds. Hunter-Reay's DHL car had a lot of speed on fresher tires. Rossi had made his last stop six laps earlier. The lead gap slowly closed until on lap 64, Rossi missed the turn with a huge brake lockup. Hunter-Reay zipped past and took the checkered first. Rossi shredded a tire and after a quick replacement, he ended up twelfth. The mistake not only cost Rossi the victory, it also cost him the point lead that he had just gained on Saturday. Rossi is now third in points behind Will Power and Scott Dixon.
Overall, Sunday's race was a better than average Detroit race. There were battles for position throughout the field and a fight for the win at the end. Belle Isle will return to the schedule next year.
I hope Sunday's pace car incident leads to the end of celebrity pace car drivers. While Reuss does have experience driving high performance cars, he does not drive professionally. The drivers in this series deserve professional in all phases of the race. I have opposed this practice for a long time. I feel the same way about celebrity flag wavers. Professionals should controla race from the command to start engines on.
Sunday changed my mind about the new car racing at Detroit. It was amuch more competitive show than Saturday. This package needs a little tweaking. Texas next weekend will show how much adjusting needs to be done.
Zak Brown, principal at McLaren, and Gil De Ferran were at Belle Isle this weekend talking to teams about entering the season next year. DeFerran is helping facilitate McLaren's entry into the series. Nothing has been confirmed.
Will Power's runner-up finish yesterday was the only Chevy on the podium all weekend. Andretti had three of the six spots and Ganassi had two.
ABC/ESPN televised its final Indycar race for the foreseeable future. NBC Sports takes over television duties next weekend at Texas and all of the next three years. ABC at one time was the go to network for Indycar, but at the corporate level seemed to have had a waning interest in the sport the last few years. I appreciate the hard work of all the people I've met who work for ABC and hope many can catch on with NBC next year. Some great people may not be back next year.
What is the Ceiling for Dixon?
Now that Scott Dixon has tied Michael Andretti with 42 career wins, how many more can he get before he retires? Someone asked me Saturday if I thought he could get to 50. I think that may be a stretch given his age and how difficult it is to win in today's Indycar series. On the other hand, I wouldn't completely dismiss the idea that he can reach the 50 mark.

The Positive Thinking of Power
May 28, 2018 May 29, 2018 thepitwindow
"When you work hard at something it eventually comes to you," Will Power said at his Sunday afternoon press conference. He credit this approach to his determination in the closing laps of the 102nd running of the Indianapolis 500. Winning the 500 had run through his head more than ever over the last year, he said. It was. "The last box to check on his career, which includes an Indycar Series championship won after several close calls. Again working hard will eventually get you what you want.
The race was an intriguing event. It was difficult to pass, as expected, but drivers liked that the outcome was more in their hands. Some teams, Scott Dixon and Robert Wickens, tried alternate pit strategies which were hurt by the timing of the caution periods. Power, on a normal pit cycle, was in the right spot in the end to take advantage of those who gambled.
Ed Carpenter and Power had the strongest cars all day. Carpenter led 65 laps and Power led 59. No one else led more than 19. Tony Kanaan looked to be a third factor until a cut tire forced an extra stop. He had worked his way back to ninth, then crashed on lap 189, setting up the dramatic finish and near storybook ending.
Oriol Servia, Stefan Wilson, and Jack Harvey gambled there would be another yellow and they would be able to save enough fuel to go the distance. Servia led the field to the green on lap 193 and was quickly passed by Wilson and Harvey. Wilson led the next three laps, which sent a buzz through the crowd. The two leaders pulled into the pits for fuel on lap 196, hand Power the lead and the victory.
The usually stoic Power was one of the happiest winners in Victory Lane in many years. "I started screaming on the white flag lap," he said. Tim Cindric corroborated that.
Power's win was the first for a front row starter since Dario Franchitti won from third in 2010. It was Team Penske's first 500 win since Juan Pablo Montoya won his third in 2015.
There were 30 lead changes, many on pit cycles. While we didn't see constant passes for the lead, I thought it made each pass more genuine and a result of driving and not equipment packages.
Alexander Rossi had another march from the back of the field. His fourth place finish from a last row start was one of the highlights of the day. He also charged from the back to get a podium at Phoenix after a pit penalty. Rossi is now two points behind Power in the series championship.
Graham Rahal continues his season of starting in the back and getting to the top 10. Yesterday he finished tenth from his 30th starting spot. I'm sure he's looking forward to Detroit where he dominated the weekend last year.
Danica Patrick's career ended with a crash on lap 68. It was the only the second time she has not finished the race. Patrick had always done well at the Speedway, including being the first woman to lead.
Helio Castroneves spun and crashed on lap 146. I'm not sure if he will return next year. If he does, 2019 may be his last time to try for win number 4
Power is the first driver to win the Indycar Grand Prix and the Indianapolis 500 in the same year.
What is Up with the Pre-Race?
For a couple of years now I have become annoyed with the pace of the pre race ceremonies. This year I thought they were longer and more drawn out than ever. It seemed as if parts were out of order as well. These ceremonies used to be compact, flowing and built the tension leading to the start. I don't get that feeling or the goosebumps I used to get during this part of the day.
The Speedway has found its new singer for "(Back Home Again in) Indiana". It was another great performance by Jim Cornelison. Please keep him.
The highlight was playing a recording of Jim Phiilipe's homage to veterans which preceded taps. It was wonderful to hear that again, but the moment was ruined when instead of following it immediately with "Taps", the invocation was next, followed by an ABC commercial break, then "Taps." A solemn moment was ruined.
The last straw was Tony George giving the command, "Drivers, start your engines" for the second year in a row. I'm not sure if I heard the engines or if the sound was Tony Hulman spinning in his grave. Please, IMS, give the traditional (Ladies) and Gentlemen, start your engines command. Drivers, start your engines is fine for every other race on the schedule.
I will close with a couple more photos from yesterday. I have more stories of the month this week before the series moves to Detroit.

Carb Day- Lots of Laps and a Great Indy Lights Race
I'm not sure we know any more about how the 102nd running of the Indianapolis 500 will go tomorrow after watching the Carb Day session. 1,273 laps of mostly strung out running should help drivers get a feel for Sunday's similar weather conditions. The four fastest yesterday- Tony Kanaan 227.791, Scott Dixon 225.684, Marco Andretti 225.220, and Sebastien Bourdais 224.815, could be the group from which the winner comes. The race will come down to track position in the last40 laps and who makes the right tire calls on the last stop.
Danica Patrick had an electrical problem early in the session and only ran 15 laps. Her second lap was the eighth quickest. She did get on track during the final 10 minutes. The session was halted briefly for a track inspection. No cars had an on track incident.
Polesitter Ed Carpenter Ran 30 laps with a best time of 223.219, 14th fastest. Teammate Spencer Pigot had the 9th fastest time, 223.584. Overall, a decent day for the Carpenter team. Can they put it all together on race Day? That has been the one glitch in their 500 program.
Graham Rahal ran the most laps, 51, as he still looks for a good pace. The rest of the top five in laps run were Carlos Munoz, 49; Jay Howard, Helio Castroneves, Stefan Wilson, and Sage Karam 48 each; Josef Newgarden, 47. Of the high laps run group, Karam was quickest with the 12th best lap at 223.278.
We will begin to get answers in 15 and half hours from the time I'm writing this.
Herta Wins Exciting Freedom 100
When engines fired for the Indy Lights Freedom 100, I joked to my friend Brad that the race starts in 38 laps. This race has produced extremely close, four wide finishes with great racing in the last two laps. I was wrong. The small field raced every lap as if it were the final lap.
Twenty lead changes in a 40 lap race is unprecedented. Dalton Kellett, the polesitter, had the longest stretch in the lead, from lap 21-25. Colton Herta, who started sixth, took the lead on lap 39 and held off Patricio O'Ward by 0,0281 seconds. Yes that was close, but it is not in top four closest margins in Freedom 100 history.
Here are some photos from yesterday. Remember to rest tonight (Ha) get to the track early, and drink lots of water. Enjoy the race.
Colton Herta takes the lead during the Freedom 100.
Danica Patrick returns to the track after a trip to the garage to repair electrical problems.

Good Morning. It's Carb Day!
The final practice for the 102nd running of the Indianapolis 500 starts at eleven am. I expect it to be a very busy session as drivers figure out how the cars work in traffic and how the behave in the heat. This is also the time for some teams to get in some pit stop practice under near race conditions.
It doesn't always happen that Carb day and race day have similar weather, but this year the temperatures should be similar. Look for who is fastest and who turns the most laps. I'm also looking at who runs the most consistent times, especially in traffic.
Daltonm Kellett won the pole for today's Indy Lights race. In a bit of a surprise, usual top qualifiers Santi Urrutia and Colton Herta start fifth and sixth. It should be a typical Lights race at IMS with a close finish. I will have results later.
Coverage of Carb Day can be seen on NBCSN starting at 11 am EDT

Bump Tales- Peter Revson's Six O'Clock Run
May 24, 2018 thepitwindow1 Comment
Editor's Note: This is the last of the series. I hope you've enjoyed these stories of past Bump Days.
Photo from 1970 Indianapolis 500 program.
Peter Revson sped down the backstretch at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway on his final qualifying lap. On the other side of the track, the gun sounded to end qualifying for the 1969 Indianapolis 500. He just had to finish this lap and he would be in the field for his first 500.
Revson made it easily. His Repco-Brabham bumped Rick Muther from the field. The final run of the day ended a hectic last hour of qualifying and capped what had been one of the strangest qualifications in the history of the race.
The first weekend of qualifying was rained out except for one waved off attempt by Jigger Sirois. That is a tale for another day. Do NOT call Talk of Gasoline alley and ask Donald Davidson about it. Sirois' attempt with about 15 minutes left on what was to be Pole Day was waved off. Before another car could get on track, the rains came again. Sunday was a complete washout. All 33 spots would need to be filled the following weekend.
A busy Saturday Pole Day saw 25 of the 33 spots filled. A. J. Foyt won the pole. Mario Andretti and defending race champion Bobby Unser completed the front row. Just five spots remained for Sunday.
It was a typical Bump Day afternoon. Teams waited until after 4 pm when the cooling shadow began to creep across the track. Then the scramble to get in the qualifying line began. The last hour produced several waved off runs. Jerry Grant lost the turbo of his Ford. It took 24 minutes to clean up the oil trail he left on the track. Losing that much time in the final hour could hurt several drivers chances.
Jigger Sirois and Al Miller each suffered a mechanical issue on their incomplete attempts. Their shortened runs allowed Revson to get on the track on time. Bob Veith turned out to be the victim of the Grant oil cleanup . He waited helplessly hoping Revson would pull off before the gun.
Revson would finish the race in fifth place from his 33rd starting position. The following year he joined Mclaren. He won the pole in 1971 and started second in 1972. His best finish was second in 1971. Revson only completed a combined 26 laps in his last two starts -1972 and '73 due to mechanical failures.
In 1972 Revson also drove for McLaren in Formula 1. He won both the British and Canadian Grand Prix in 1973 and finished the season fifth in points. Revson is the last U.S. born driver to win an F1 race. Following the 1973 season he moved to the Shadow Formula 1 team.
His quick rise to prominence ended March 22, 1974. Shadow had retired from the first two Formula 1 races of the year. The team arranged a test session in Johannesburg, South Africa, the site of the next race. Revson's car crashed violently into the Armco barrier. He was killed instantly.
My Indianapolis 500 preview will be on Wildfireradiosports.com tomorrow. I will have additional thought in this column Saturday along with some pictures from the IMS Roadster Tribute which follows the Public Drivers' Meeting.
Thank you to the IMS Media Relations Staff. You al have been great to work with this May.
And thanks to all who have read this space and wildfireradiosports these last three weeks.

Final Thoughts- Qualifying Weekend
May 21, 2018 May 21, 2018 thepitwindow2 Comments
What do Johnny Rutherford, Bobby Rahal, Al Unser, Jr., and Emerson Fittipaldi have in common? There are two things. They won a combined six Indianapolis 500s, and they each failed to qualify for an Indianapolis 500. It can happen to the best. Great drivers-popular drivers- have missed the race from time to time. The series moves on and the race goes on. There is a season to run, and the Indianapolis 500 will be back next year.
Saturday was one of the most intriguing, compelling Bump Days I have seen. It is nice to know that after a seven year absence, bumping is still the heart of qualifying. I'm glad it has returned.
Can We Ditch the Fast Nine?
The Fast Nine was a good idea when there were only 33 entries. It did add a bit of excitement to what was an otherwise ho hum weekend where no one was going to miss the race.
This year the Fast Nine was anticlimactic. It is time to put it away until the next year only 33 cars show up. Removing it would solve a major hiccup in the qualifying procedure.
Near the end of Saturday some teams were scrambling to make the field and others went out to attempt to makea the Fast Nine. This is confusing to teams and fans. Who gets priority? The groups need to be separated.
Saturday should be running for the pole, and Sunday should be for making the race. With the pole decided on Saturday, the speedway and Indycar can promote the winner on Sunday's qualifying show in addition to having a Sunday morning headline.
In years past I have watched drivers on television after they failed to qualify for the 500. I heard the disappointment in sadness in their voices, the tears in their eyes and thought I knew how sad they were feeling. Seeing that emotion in person Saturday evening at Pippa Mann's press conference, however, really drove home how much this race means to the drivers who base their entire year on being in the 500.
Ed Carpenter and Scott Dixon have combined to win five of the last six poles at Indy. James Hinchcliffe is the only other pole winner in that stretch.
Saturday's crowd was low because of the weather. yesterday's crowd seemed smaller than last year's Sunday attendance.
Indy Lights has two sessions today. The first round is from 10:45-11:30. The next round is at 4:30 after the Indycar practice from 12:30-4. Indycar practice is streamed. There is no streaming for the Lights practices.
Aaron Telitz on Pit Lane Parley
Indy Lights driver Aaron Telitz is this week's guest on Pit Lane Parley. Tune in at 3:15 EDT Friday on wildfireradiosports.com

Update-Kanaan Starts 10th
Tony Kanaan had the fastest time in the 10-33 qualifying round. The big surprise was Alexander Rossi, whose first lap was 227, but slowed to a 221 on his last lap. He will start 32nd.
Rumors are still swirling about James Hinchcliffe replacing a qualified driver. There is one strong rumor out there. I do not report rumors. I will say it's the one that makes the most sense for all parties involved.
The Fast Nine begins in a few minutes. I will have an up date afterwards. My full weekend wrap up will be posted on wildfireradiosports later tonight.

Pole Day at IMS
Today the cars that will race next Sunday in the 102nd running of the Indianapolis 500 will set their starting positions. The fastest nine drivers from yesterday will have a shootout for the pole at 5 pm EDT. ABC will show action live from 4-6 pm EDT.
I'm still picking Ed Carpenter for the pole. He didn't miss the fastest time yesterday by much. Josef Newgarden will try to start as high as he can. His closest points rival, Alexander Rossi, was 10th fastest yesterday so cannot get the pole. Sebastien Bourdais, third in points, is in the Fast Nine and could possibly gain a few points on Newgarden. Only the Fast Nine get points this year.
The weather today has a chance of thunderstorms moving in in the midafternoon in the second half of the 10-33 runs and possibly lingering through the scheduled Fast Nine time.
I will have an update later. If you haven't yet, check out my column from this morning about yesterday's action. I will have more on that tomorrow. Tonight my weekend wrapup will be on wildfireradiosports .com.

TED Talks are a source of inspiration, knowledge, and motivation for countless educators. Dig deeper to find more, but here are ten presentation teachers may find most useful and informative.
Management expert Margaret Heffernan argues that working together, asking questions, and helping others is the key to the most successful and productive workplaces. These are lessons educators of varying experience can bring into their workplace to help create the best learning experience for their students.
The mental and physical wellness of educators is integral to the success of our schools. In this TED Talk, neuroscientist Russell Foster urges everyone to check their health by prioritizing sleep.
Sleep deprivation affects educators as much as it does the students they are teaching. Wendy Troxel, a sleep researcher, believes sleep deprivation among teens is a serious public policy issue. Troxel believes that middle and high schools should not start before 8:30 am for fear of severely impacting adolescent health. You can find her Ted Talk here.
Stress and burnout are pitfalls many if not most educators face in their careers. Kelly McGonigal, a health psychologist, doesn't want your stress to hold you back, but says it can, believe it or not, be a positive force.
Every job is important and has room for improvement and change. Whether it's your professional or personal life, your box only exists because you let it, according to Eduardo Briceño.
Author of "Investing in Kids," Timothy Bartik, offers a unique perspective on why preschool and education are important. There are economic benefits along with bettering the lives of young children.
Educators have the unique and powerful opportunity to empower youth. This TED Talk by child prodigy Adora Svitak is a fun look at how working with and uplifting children can change your perspective on life and education.
In 2006, Sir Ken Robinson delivered what would become the most popular TED Talk of all time – a plea to reverse the standardization and rigid compliance that has drained creativity out of our schools. Unfortunately, more than a decade later, Robinson's diagnosis remains relevant today.

Airline demands passenger take a pregnancy test before boarding amid concern over 'birth tourism'
Annabel Fenwick Elliott
The Telegraph 16 January 2020
More babies were born on the island of Saipan from tourists than locals in 2018 - getty
A Hong Kong airline has apologised for demanding a passenger take a pregnancy test before boarding a flight the US Pacific island of Saipan.
Midori Nishida, 25, from Japan, was checking in for the flight at Hong Kong International Airport, with low-cost carrier Hong Kong Express, when a member of its staff presented her with a pregnancy test as part of its 'fit to fly' policy, to prove she wasn't expecting.
Nishida told The Wall Street Journal it was a "humiliating and frustrating" experience, and the airline, owned by Cathay Pacific, later said it had apologised "unreservedly" and stated it had "immediately suspended the practice while we review it."
The reason behind the bizarre intervention? Saipan has become a popular destination for foreign mothers to give birth in, since under US law any child born in its territory is automatically granted American citizenship.
Saipan, which has a population of just 50,000, is part of the US commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands, and has different regulations that, unlike mainland America, allow some nationalities to enter without a visa, Chinese among them.

Last year, more tourists gave birth in Saipan than locals; 90 per cent of them Chinese. As part of a government crackdown, carriers are reportedly being pressured to pre-screen incoming passengers, as was the case with Nishida.
The airline stated: "We took actions on flights to Saipan from February 2019 to help ensure US immigration laws were not being undermined.
"Under our new management, we recognise the significant concerns this practice has caused. We have immediately suspended the practice while we review it."
It is not illegal for a pregnant tourist to enter the US, provided they don't lie about their purpose of travel, but the commonwealth's House of Representatives is currently seeking to apply new limits regarding its citizenship policy.
There has been at least one case of a woman prosecuted for running a 'birth tourism' operation that helped Chinese clients manipulate the system in the Mariana Islands.
The practise of deliberately travelling abroad to countries that offer unconditional birthright citizenship is concentrated almost entirely in North and South America.
Some countries have abolished this right entirely, India included, which did so in 2004 in response to its escalating population. Others have adjusted their policies so that at least one parent must be a citizen or permanent resident for a child born on their soil to be granted status as a national; the UK, France, Australia and South Africa among them.
Saipan is the second largest island in the Mariana Islands archipelago after Guam. It fell under American administration after the Second World War, and became a US commonwealth in 1978.
Prior to that, it changed hands between the Spanish, from 1565 to 1899, Germany, from 1899 to 1914, and then Japan.
Today, with tropical year-round temperatures in the high 20s, tourism accounts for its main source of income, with popular activities including windsurfing, golf and scuba diving.
Casinos are also big business. Currently under construction is the Chinese-owned Imperial Pacific Resort, a sprawling collection of leisure attractions including a luxury hotel and gambling club. Still, the island remains largely off the radar for European holidaymakers.

KRG is optimistic about its agreement with the new Iraqi government
Khaled Shwani the minister of region ruled out that the next Iraqi government to cancel the agreement reached by the Kurdistan Regional Government and the current caretaker government headed by resigned Prime Minister Adel Abdul-Mahdi on the budget law.
Shwani said in a press conference that the delegation of the Kurdistan government to Baghdad had reached an agreement with the Iraqi government on the budget before the resigned one day.
He explained that the agreement takes into account the interests of the two sides and the Kurdistan region did not achieve significant gains from it, as some claim, adding that "I do not think that the next federal government will cancel that agreement because it takes into account the interests of both sides."

Muslim Americans Are Also Dying for America
In the fight over the mosque near ground zero, people forget there are thousands of Muslim Americans who protect the U.S. from terrorism, writes Department of Defense analyst Salmah Y. Rizvi.
Salmah Y. Rizvi
Newscom
In the neverending "ground zero mosque" debate, many people have been asking one question: Where are the moderate Muslims who denounce terrorism?
To that I answer: They are everywhere. I am one. Countless Muslim-American organizations from mosques to community centers also have denounced terrorism. Most noteworthy is the Muslim Public Affairs Council, which has published a video on YouTube highlighting American imams who reject terrorist ideology.
The Park51 project indirectly combats terrorism by debunking terrorist rhetoric that proclaims the U.S is incompatible with Islam and will show that Islam can flourish in its most beautiful forms, openly and freely in the U.S.
But I'd like to give you a better answer: Muslim Americans not only are denouncing terrorism—as denouncement often can be the simple manifestation of political rhetoric and empty words—but also are fighting terrorism.
The fight against terrorism is deeply personal for Muslim Americans who seek to quell extremist operations that unfairly kill innocent human beings and disproportionally promulgate a distorted picture of Islam.
As for the terrorists you despise—al Qaeda, the Taliban, etc.—who do you think understands their language and culture better in the U.S. than Muslim Americans? The Muslim diaspora in America is best equipped to aid and abet the U.S. government in its counterterrorism missions.
Muslim Americans are not monolithic, speaking many languages and representing many cultures. The linguists who exploit high-priority extremist communications and enable our nation to identify potential threats are often Muslim Americans.
But Muslim Americans don't just translate for the United States, they die for it. Here are a few examples of true Muslim-American heroes who have given their lives to protect our nation and help curb the terrorist threat:
• Capt. Humayun Khan was killed after a terrorist vehicle packed with explosives drove into the gate of his compound while he was inspecting soldiers on guard duty.
• After serving the military for more than 18 years, Major James "Jimmy" Ahearn died in July 2007 in a roadside bombing in Iraq, leaving behind his wife and young daughter.
• Another well-known American hero is the recipient of the Purple Heart and Bronze Star, Kareem Khan, who was " spurred by the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center [and] wanted to show that not all Muslims were fanatics and that many, like him, were willing to lay their lives down for their country."
Upset by the Islamophobic treatment of Muslims in America, former Secretary of State Colin Powell cited Kareem's ultimate sacrifice and asked, " Is there something wrong with being Muslim in this country? No, that's not America."
On Aug. 17, the Pentagon held its 13th annual iftaar and honored the families of the aforementioned Muslim-American heroes. (An iftaar is a dinner ceremony held at sunset to commemorate the end of a Muslim's day of fasting during the Islamic month of Ramadan.) On Aug. 20, the National Security Agency also held its 2nd annual iftaar. During these iftaars, hundreds of Muslim Americans broke bread with non-Muslims and prayed together in two of the United States' most secure locations. Their prayers are no different from the prayers that will be held at the Park51 Community Center, commonly referred to as the ground zero mosque.
Both of these iftaar ceremonies highlighted themes of unity and tolerance. The NSA's iftaar was called "Serving Proudly, Our Diversity Is Our Strength." If the U.S. government, using tax-funded resources, can host, honor, and respect Muslim Americans for their service to our country, I think it is time for the American public to appreciate the motivations of the Cordoba Initiative's Park51 Community Center, as well.
Why? Because the Park51 project indirectly combats terrorism by debunking terrorist rhetoric that proclaims the U.S is incompatible with Islam. The Park51 project will show that Islam can flourish in its most beautiful forms, openly and freely in the U.S.
As a result, in different ways, Muslim Americans from all parts of the United States are fighting terrorism. Thousands of Muslim-American intelligence analysts, linguists, Navy, Army, Marine, and Air Force officials are handling classified information and conducting critical operations for our country. They have dedicated their lives to fighting terrorism.
Without the language, cultural, and analytical skill sets of such Muslim Americans, U.S. counterterrorism operations would not be nearly as robust as they are today. Muslim Americans are valuable, if largely unrecognized, assets to a variegated American fabric. During the mosque debate, I hope they can be appreciated, not demonized, for their outstanding efforts to make the United States a safer place for all.

Our Republic Is Under Attack from the Admirals and Generals
James Mattis and William McRaven's comments reveal the anti-republican nature common to the modern military officer. Freedom-loving people should take note.
- October 20th, 2019
Retired Admiral William McRaven's recent opinion column in the New York Times is one of several recent indicators of how anti-republican (note the small "r") our military leadership has become.
First, as Brandon J. Weichert so ably pointed out in these pages the other day, the military's pathetic conduct in response to a predictable and appropriate withdrawal from northern Syria indicates that it, along with the foreign policy establishment, has no real respect for the authority of an elected chief executive. Compliance with orders from the president, as far as they are concerned, appears to depend more or less on how much that president agrees with and submits to the judgment of the ruling class.
Our forces were so unprepared to leave their temporary mission in Syria that the best they could do was leave dick drawings for Russians who would take over the abandoned American camps. Despite having a new model military, we should probably not expect that our soldiers are above penis drawings given how skilled and artistic our pilots are who can draw them in the sky. Leaving phallic symbols for one's enemy is as old as Rome after all, so who are we to complain?
But is it too much to ask that American soldiers at least know how to destroy their positions when abandoning them? It isn't as if leaving Syria should have been a surprise to commanders on the ground.
Then former Secretary of Defense James Mattis decided to confirm Trump's supposed comment that Mattis "is the most overrated general in history" by rolling out a series of awkward jokes at the Al Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner. That he attempted to be funny or that he mocked the president is less a problem than the content of his jokes, which reveal how trumped up the credentials of supposedly smart and noble military men too often are.
Despite his intellect, Mattis's jokes were rather pathetic—the type that only someone harboring malice toward Trump could find funny. What's more, they revealed a sort of defensive hubris foreign to honest and noble men. As someone remarked on social media, "months of sniping and passive-aggressive bitching at Trump and he finally gets smacked in the face. His response is to allude to his 'victories' and how he 'earned his spurs on the battlefield.' Imagine playing a serious leadership role in the last 20 years of our foreign policy in the Middle East and patting yourself on the back."
Using "Principles" as a Punchline
Then there is McRaven. In his New York Times piece and subsequent TV interviews, he made two points. First, Trump is destroying our republic by undermining the confidence of patriotic professionals in the military and intelligence community, attacking the press, doing things that are bad for foreign allies. Second, Trump is merely "a transactional president" who is somehow deficient because he believes he is to be concerned only with what is good for us, and that he doesn't understand that we are "a nation of values" and we fight not just to defend ourselves, but "because it is the right thing to do."
Standing on his service record and his experience having "fought a lot of America's enemies," McRaven delivered these lines with a certain finality, as if there was no possibility of a counterargument. He was sure to use the word principles, mention the Constitution, and describe us as "a nation of laws." How any of these things connected to his main points wasn't quite clear, but McRaven is confident they do, and we ought to believe him because he served honorably in the military, or something.
McRaven's blather stands in stark contrast to the fine words of Attorney General Bill Barr delivered recently at Notre Dame. There one can find a coherent argument. McRaven, on the other hand, is a sophist who seems to think rhetoric is about slapping clichés and phrases together and delivering them in a loud, clear voice.
While McRaven presents an impressive veneer, to be sure, his empty lines about values and his incoherent view of the purpose of government are reminiscent of what Barr was talking about when he said that "we hear much today about our humane values. But, in the final analysis, what undergirds these values? What commands our adherence to them? What we call 'values' today are really nothing more than mere sentimentality, still drawing on the vapor trails of Christianity."
At the Front Rank of the Praetorian Guard
Mattis's and McRaven's comments reveal the anti-republican nature common to the modern military officer. Freedom-loving people should take note. Both of them, despite sterling reputations and no shortage of degrees, can hardly put together a coherent thought. They utter plenty of words that sound like they might be important while managing to say nothing at all. Neither is honest enough to have any humility about their failures (indeed, neither seem even to be aware that their professional legacies are marred by a great deal of failure).
McRaven's understanding of a republic clearly includes the belief that expertise trumps the will of the people, and his understanding of the Constitution and law seems completely detached from an awareness that all political power flows from the consent of the governed. Both Mattis and McRaven seem to care more about foreigners and abstract "values" than protecting Americans, as if securing the rights of the governed is not the primary purpose of government and defending Americans above foreigners is a not moral duty of government agents.
Both of them stand on the empty credentials of expertise and professionalism promoted by the progressive worldview; both of them claim to be apolitical, nonpartisan, patriotic experts; and both of them believe we ought to listen to them because "they served," no matter how fruitless their service was to us or how profitable it has been to them.
It should be obvious to everyone by now that these military men are, in fact, representative of the "nonpartisan, patriotic professionals" in government, and that their nonpartisanship means "agreeable to the Left," their patriotism includes more love for foreign peoples than for their own country and countrymen, and their professionalism includes hardly any competence at all. It should be manifest that those who choose to fight and kill for money and a career are not necessarily the noble men we pretend they are, and that they can just as easily be guided by self-interest and the interest of their faction, the military-intelligence-industrial-academic-political complex, as any other bureaucrat. That this faction is part of a larger D.C. establishment faction should also be obvious.
They are not just now turning toward praetorianism; they are the Praetorian Guard's front rank. They are not just now behaving like a junta; they think they are one.
In fact, there is nothing republican about those in the upper echelons of our modern military, and their anti-republican nature should be plain to see. And it should not really surprise us. We created a military power greater than any in human history, with more money, more people, and more raw power than anyone has ever seen, and we lavish praise on it and worship its members as if they are infallible. This is a recipe for a ruling faction if ever there was one.
Perhaps we should revisit the warnings from America's Founders about the dangers of standing armies and professional soldiers to republican government.

Gift U disk custom why so popular?
As the saying goes, "nothingness is not to go", whether it is between the state and the country, or the company to the company, or the individual to the individual, the gifts have an extremely important relationship. In the business between the business is no lack of!

For example, new product seminars, product launches, collaborative seminars, etc. all require customized business meeting gifts. There are many kinds of gifts, high-end pens or high-end notebooks are very good choices.

Still in the fog of morning sluggishness and with a thinly veiled air of motherly annoyance, I dropped my four older children at soccer practice with water bottles and balls and snacks in baggies. I thought perhaps I could use a few laps around a field to clear my head. So I put two-year-old Bo in the stroller with no plan for where to walk, just knowing I needed to pound it out on the pavement. The chaotic early morning rush to get everyone ready and out the door had shredded my nerves. I struggled to like my kids in that single moment, and I surely didn't like myself. I was remembering why we didn't do these early morning activities very often.
The season will eventually change.
But for now, as you find yourself here in the wait, whatever that might be, I'm praying the Father gives you eyes to see the subtle change of Spring, to see what's really growing underneath.
I'm addicted to getting things done.
My greatest sin is that I never pause enough to truly rest.
I believe every sin is sin, so when I say "my greatest" I mean my most frequent sin.
It's the sin in my life I am very aware of, but do little to (repent and) change.
Sin, to me, is disobedience to God and what He intends for us. I believe He invites us into a whole and full life, one where He commands things like rest...because it is for our better good. It is for our best life.
I continue to live in constant disobedience of the commandment to rest, to enjoy the Sabbath. A commandment given out of love, a gift of grace. It was commanded not out of control, but out of love and gentleness.
We were created to rest.
While in the infant adoption process and awaiting our match, every day I battled urgency.
I felt urgency to be matched with an expectant mama making an adoption plan, but was simultaneously fearful we didn't have even half the funds to be due.
There existed in me a void, one created by the wait.
Sometimes you can avoid those broken pieces, sometimes you can't. Either way, it's painful and it's exhausting, because even though we do our best to ignore the things that bother us, to ignore the pain-filled areas of our hearts and stories...it doesn't actually fix anything.
Ignoring the broken pieces or pain points doesn't heal or fix them. Pretending pain isn't a part of our story doesn't make pain disappear.
Healing and wholeness and free-hearts won't be found and discovered until we enter into those painful parts.
I find myself sleepless in the children's hospital once again.
I'm tired and I'm raw and I'm all sorts weary. This post is more for me than for you, because I just need to write.
It's funny how the world keeps going so fast when yours is stopped up in suspension, waiting for answers and diagnoses.

Pope, Sufi Muslim mystic have unscheduled meeting on Cyprus
(Saturday, June 5, 2010) Pope Benedict XVI meets with Sufi mystic Sheikh Nazim (L), who traveled from the north of the divided island of Cyprus to see him at the Latin Church of the Holy Cross in Nicosia on Saturday.
Pope Benedict XVI meets with Sufi mystic Sheikh Nazim (L), who traveled from the north of the divided island of Cyprus to see him at the Latin Church of the Holy Cross in Nicosia on Saturday.
Pope Benedict XVI had a brief unscheduled meeting on Saturday in Greek Cyprus with a well-known Sufi Muslim mystic who traveled from the north of the divided island to see him, the Vatican said.
The frail 88-year-old known as Sheikh Nazim met the pope at Nicosia's Franciscan church of the Holy Cross in the U.N. buffer zone, just before the pontiff celebrated mass there, spokesman Federico Lombardi said.
The pope was already standing in line to begin the service and stopped the procession to greet him.
"Excuse me, but I am old," Nazim told the pope, who replied: "I am old, too."
Nazim presented Benedict with an engraved walking stick, a plaque and a set of Muslim prayer beads.
Before they parted, Nazim asked the pope to pray for him.
"I will pray for you, and you pray for me," he replied.
The itinerary of Benedict's landmark three-day visit to Cyprus did not include a visit to the Turkish-occupied north of the island.
On Friday, the leader of the Muslim community there, Mufti Yusuf Suecmez, said he had offered to meet with the pope, and Lombardi said that was a "concrete possibility." Actually, there are many frive platforms, bun not all of them would give player all different option together.
On Saturday, he said "we were expecting the mufti," but did not elaborate.
The pontiff is keen to improve relations between the church and Islam, and in Greek Cyprus renewed calls for greater dialogue between faiths.
Cypriot-born Sheikh Nazim has a commune in Turkish Cyprus and followers around the world.

Trenton, N.J. – Mayor W. Reed Gusciora today encouraged remaining residents in neighborhoods with a high risk of flooding to heed City warnings and begin evacuation despite improved weather conditions over the last 24 hours.
Mayor Gusciora declared a State of Emergency effective 6:00 p.m. yesterday and encouraged residents in flood-prone areas along the Delaware River, such as the Island neighborhood, to begin making arrangements to evacuate. Since then, the Trenton Police Department has been going door to door advising residents of the situation and providing relevant information, including shelter and evacuation procedures.
So far, the TPD has evacuated a majority of residents living in the Island neighborhood.
"We don't want the improved weather conditions to detract from the sense of urgency about moving to higher ground," said Mayor Gusciora. "As we have said all along, the threat from this storm was not just the flash flooding from last night, but also water coming into the Delaware from other regions impacted by Ida. The water is rising at this moment. Again, if you live on a high-risk street, we strongly encourage you to evacuate as soon as you can."
Current projections still show water levels will reach as high as 21.3 feet - nearly twice the normal level. Water has already begun rising again after dipping slightly overnight as the intense rain from Tropical Depression Ida subsided.
Olden Avenue has already been closed again from E. State Street to North Clinton Avenue as conditions at Assunpink Creek and other water sources worsen. Sections of Mulberry Street, Route 1 and Route 29 are closed as well.
Trenton has not yet had to shut down electricity in high-risk regions as was initially planned this morning. However, the City will evaluate neighborhood-wide power shutdowns later this evening.
The Trenton Police Department (TPD) has set up a Command Post on Mount Vernon and Clearfield Avenue, which will be staffed 24 hours a day. Residents in the area with questions or concerns about the evacuation process can reach the Command Post directly at (609) 712-4831. All other reports of downed trees, flooding, and other weather-related damage should be reported to the Office of Emergency Management at (609) 989-4200.
All storm related information including instructions for evacuating residents can be found at https://www.trentonnj.org/flood.
The TPD is focusing its evacuation efforts in the Island section of the city, including the following streets:
Clearfield Avenue
Columbia Avenue
Riverside Drive
Lipton Avenue
Newell Avenue
Laclede Avenue
Bloomfield Avenue
Westminster Avenue
Mt. Vernon Avenue
Rodgers Avenue
A shelter has been set up at Joyce Kilmer Elementary School on 1300 Stuyvesant Avenue. Food, water, and sleeping accommodations will be included. Anyone who needs transportation can call (609) 989-4200.
Residents are strongly encouraged to sign up for the City's Emergency Broadcast System to receive important updates on major road closures, evacuations, or other critical updates:
To receive voice message alerts, sign up at www.trentonnj.org/reverse911.
All relevant updates will also be posted on https://www.trentonnj.org/flood and the City's Facebook and Twitter page
Residents that need emergency assistance should dial 911. Residents that need non-emergency assistance can reach the Trenton Police Department at (609) 989-4170.
Power outages should be reported to PSE&G at (800) 436-PSEG

If you have been around for over thirty years, then chances are that you might have come across one product or the other that is made in Taiwan. Taiwan is legitimately the Republic of China and is a sovereign state in East Asia. The Republic of China was formally based in mainland China, and now governs the island of Taiwan, which makes up over 99% of its territory, and has Penghu, Kinmen, Matsu, and other minor islands in it.
It has neighboring states as the People's Republic of China to the west, Japan to the east and northeast, and the Philippines to the south. It has its central seat of government as Taipei and this also happens to be the most populous city.
Over the past centuries history has it that Taiwan experienced rapid economic growth and industrialization, and therefore is now an advanced industrial economy. This country is the 19th-largest economy in the world and its high-tech industry plays a key role in the global economy. Taiwan is rated greatly in terms of freedom of the press, public education, health care, economic freedom, and human development.
For this reason, it might not be a bad idea at all to go down to Taiwan to seek business opportunities to invest in. If you think this might be a priority to you as an investor then here are some business ideas that might be available to you in Taiwan.

Q: Python 2.7, np.asarray, TypeError: cannot perform reduce with flexible type I have a .txt file with 390 rows and some 8000 columns. The data consist of only 1s and 0s separated by a white space. I want to count the number of times the number 1 appears in each column (total sum per column) for all columns. I am using numpy arrays for this. The problem is I keep getting the following error message in the script line "b = a.sum(axis=0)":
"TypeError: cannot perform reduce with flexible type"
Any suggestion would be welcome !
This is the simple code I am using:
import csv
import numpy as np
from numpy import genfromtxt
my_data = genfromtxt('test1.txt', dtype='S', delimiter=',')
a = np.asarray(my_data)

import sys
sys.stdout = open("test1.csv", "w")

b = a.sum(axis=0)
print b

An input example, test1.txt:
1 0 0 0 1 1 0 1
0 1 1 0 1 1 1 1
1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0
0 1 1 0 1 0 1 1

Expected output:
2 2 2 0 3 3 2 3

A: You get that error because you are importing data with dtype='S' that is a string. You have to import data with the proper dtype, like int.
You don't need to import csv and you don't need to use np.asarray. Just open file with np.genfromtxt with delimiter=' ' and dtype=int.
Try:
import numpy as np

my_data = np.genfromtxt('test1.txt', dtype=int, delimiter=' ')
b = my_data.sum(axis=0)

A record number of Black women are expected to run in 2022

House Oversight Chair's Agenda: Hunter Biden, COVID Origins, Classified Documents
No Black woman has ever been elected governor, and no Black women currently serve in the U.S. Senate. But some candidates are hoping to change that.
Errin Haines
Originally published by The 19th
Black women candidates could make gains — and possibly history — in 2022 across the ballot, with a record number expected to run next year for local, state and federal offices, a new report signals.
But the report, published Friday by Higher Heights, which backs Black women candidates, also reflects the dearth of representation and the challenges of winning certain elected offices for a group that has one of the country's highest voting rates and is the Democratic Party's most loyal constituency.
While Black women have repeatedly smashed myths about electability in recent election cycles, they still have had to overcome a lack of funding and institutional support to win, said Glynda Carr, the president and co-founder of Higher Heights.
"We've shown proof of concept about the viability of Black women as candidates in a growing diversity of places where Black women are running, winning and leading," said Carr, whose organization has published its annual report on Black women in America politics with the Center for American Women and Politics at Rutgers University since 2014. "Black women are stepping off the sidelines and getting into increasingly competitive races. This is a roadmap for the possibilities that exist."
The office of mayor is one of the few places where Black women are elected as executives, rather than as part of a team, and where their representation matches their proportion of the U.S. population (7.8 percent). Currently, eight Black women are leading major American cities, including Atlanta, Washington, Charlotte, Chicago, San Francisco, St. Louis, New Orleans and Boston.
Elections are being held this year in both Atlanta and Boston. Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms decided not to run again, and that race is likely to go to a runoff after the November 2 vote. In Boston, Kim Janey became the first woman and person of color to be mayor when she was appointed to the post earlier this year, but she did not make it past the city's preliminary election.
Former Congressional Black Caucus Chair Karen Bass launched her bid this month to become the next mayor of Los Angeles. Bass, who was among the Black women discussed as in contention for the vice presidential nomination last summer, would be the city's first Black woman mayor if elected next year.
Kamala Harris made history in 2020 as the first woman of color to be on a major party's presidential ticket and to become vice president, but Black women remain underrepresented in many levels of American politics.
A Black woman has still never been elected governor. No Black women won statewide elected office in 2020. And although there are a record number of Black women state legislators at 354, only 12 hold leadership posts nationwide.
Kamala Harris made history in 2020 as the first woman of color to be on a major party's presidential ticket and to become vice president.
There have been only two Black women to serve in the Senate — Harris and Carol Moseley Braun of Illinois — but there are currently no Black women senators, despite a record 13 Black women running for Senate in 2020.
A number of factors contribute to both the opportunities and obstacles Black women face headed into 2022, said Fordham University political scientist Christina Greer.
Black women have long been qualified for political leadership but they increasingly have insisted on and gotten recognition for their ability, Greer said. Donors are increasingly betting on Black women for elected office, but "by and large, they still don't get the benefit of the doubt from the donor class in the ways that White male candidates do," she said.
A June Open Secrets report analyzing the role of gender and race in competitive primaries in 2020 found that Black women Democratic candidates received less money from individual donors than any other group of candidates. Large donors on average raised a third as much for Black women as they did for White women.
Additionally, the report showed that Black women receive less money from early donors, as well as educators and retirees, who tend to fund Democratic campaigns. And while women candidates rely more heavily on women donors, those donors gave half as much to Black women and other women of color candidates as they did to White women.
More Black women have run for office as they have been frustrated by the status quo or have risen through the political pipeline, Greer said. And Black women have had growing success building diverse coalitions of voters.
"As the political canaries in the mine, Black women are the ones who see and experience the danger first," Greer said, adding that connecting with voters on the issues that affect them can be an effective strategy in gaining support from people who don't share their lived experience.
The number of Black women expected to run for Senate in 2022, all Democrats, has already broken the 2020 record. In North Carolina alone, four Black women are running for an open U.S. Senate seat. Former North Carolina state Supreme Court Justice Cheri Beasley was the biggest fundraiser in the race last quarter, bringing in about $1.5 million. Black women are also running for open seats in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Missouri.
Black women are set to challenge incumbent Republican senators in multiple states, including Maryland, Illinois, Wisconsin, California, South Carolina and Indiana. In Florida, Rep. Val Demings has already posted an impressive $8.5 million in funds raised in her bid to unseat GOP Sen. Marco Rubio.
The record number of Black women who ran and won for Congress in 2018 gave the Congressional Black Caucus its largest membership in its 50-year history.
Laphonza Butler, who was recently named the first Black woman president of EMILY's List, said the organization's goal is to help level the playing field. The group has already announced support for several Black women candidates, including Bass, Atlanta mayoral candidate Felicia Moore and Buffalo mayoral candidate India Walton; Demings and Beasley for Senate; and Reps. Lauren Underwood of Illinois, Lucy McBath of Georgia and Jahana Hayes of Connecticut in their reelection bids to the U.S. House.
EMILY's List is an acronym for "Early Money Is Like Yeast," because it makes the dough rise, said Butler.
"EMILY's List was founded with the belief that if a candidate has enough money early enough in her race, that other support would follow," Butler said. "We recognize that women candidates, especially Black women candidates, face financial barriers that can prevent them from breaking through. Often, candidates' fundraising networks are from their own communities, so issues like the pay gap for Black women in this country can create an even greater disparity."
Five Black women, all Democrats, have announced their intention to run for governor next year: South Carolina state Sen. Mia McLeod, former state Sen. Connie Johnson of Oklahoma, Harvard University professor Danielle Allen in Massachusetts, business owner Deirdre DeJear in Iowa and Deirdre Gilbert in Texas. Stacey Abrams, who narrowly lost her bid to become governor of Georgia in 2018, has not ruled out a 2022 rematch with Republican incumbent Gov. Brian Kemp. Her candidacy would tie the record of six Black women gubernatorial candidates in an election cycle.
Still, Greer added, recently passed laws that limit voting access and put new rules on election officials, which many worry will disproportionately affect Black voters, could hurt Black women candidates at the ballot box.
"Institutional barriers are being calcified in ways we thought were being broken down," she said. "Voting is much harder for the bases of these Black women."

GATINEAU, Quebec and OAKVILLE, Ontario -- May 24, 2019 -- InvestorsHub NewsWire -- HEXO Corp ("HEXO") (TSX: HEXO; NYSE-A: HEXO) and Newstrike Brands Ltd. ("Newstrike") (TSX-V: HIP) are pleased to announce that they have completed the previously announced arrangement (the "Arrangement"), pursuant to which HEXO has acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Newstrike (the "Newstrike Shares") by way of a plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario).
"Today, our company begins the next phase of its great adventure," said Sebastien St-Louis, CEO and co-founder of HEXO. "The combination of these two talented teams, both pioneers in the cannabis industry, will accelerate HEXO's vision of creating the best cannabis technology company. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Jay Wilgar and the entire Newstrike team for the trust they have given HEXO as we continue our journey together," added St-Louis.
Under the terms of the Arrangement, each former Newstrike shareholder is now entitled to receive 0.06332 of a common share in the capital of HEXO for each Newstrike Share held immediately prior to the Arrangement (the "Consideration"). It is anticipated that the Newstrike Shares will be delisted from the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") as of the close of trading on or about May 28, 2019.
In order to receive the Consideration, registered shareholders of Newstrike Shares will be required to deposit their share certificate(s) representing Newstrike Shares, together with the duly completed letter of transmittal, with TSX Trust Company, the depositary under the Arrangement. Shareholders whose Newstrike Shares are registered in the name of a broker, dealer, bank, trust company or other nominee should contact their nominee regarding the receipt of the Consideration.
Holders of Newstrike options have received replacement options under the Arrangement, exercisable for common shares in the capital of HEXO at the same conversion ratio applicable to the Newstrike Shares. All other terms and conditions of the replacement options, including the term of expiry, vesting, conditions to and manner of exercising, are the same as the Newstrike options for which they were exchanged.
Warrants to purchase Newstrike Shares, other than those that have been exercised prior to May 24, 2019 (the "Effective Time"), will continue to remain outstanding as warrants of Newstrike which, upon exercise, will entitle the holder thereof to receive, in lieu of the number of Newstrike Shares to which such holder was theretofore entitled upon exercise of such Newstrike warrants, the Consideration that such holder would have been entitled to be issued and receive if, immediately prior to the Effective Time, such holder had been the registered holder of the number of Newstrike Shares to which such holder was theretofore entitled upon exercise of such Newstrike warrants. All other terms governing the warrants, including, but not limited to, the expiry term, exercise price and the conditions to and the manner of exercise, will be the same as the terms that were in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, and shall be governed by the terms of the applicable warrant indenture.
Further information about the Arrangement is set forth in the materials prepared by Newstrike in respect of the Meeting which were mailed to Newstrike shareholders and filed under Newstrike's profile on the System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval (SEDAR) at www.sedar.com. Following the completion of the Arrangement, HEXO continues to comply with all applicable laws in each jurisdiction in which it operates.
Listed Newstrike Warrants
Prior to the completion of the Arrangement, Newstrike had outstanding two classes of warrants to purchase common shares of Newstrike listed on the TSXV under the trading symbols HIP.WT and HIP.WT.A, respectively (together the "Listed Newstrike Warrants").
The Listed Newstrike Warrants will continue trading on the TSXV as Newstrike warrants, under their existing trading symbols, and will remain listed on the TSXV until the earliest to occur of their exercise, expiry or delisting.
As required by the warrant indentures in respect of the Listed Newstrike Warrants, HEXO has entered into supplemental warrant indentures in respect of such warrant indentures governing the Listed Newstrike Warrants. Copies of each of the supplemental warrant indentures will be available on Newstrike's and HEXO's respective SEDAR profiles at www.sedar.com.
An application has been filed with the applicable securities regulators of Newstrike for exemptive relief from certain continuous disclosure and insider reporting requirements. In the event Newstrike is granted such relief, holders of Listed Newstrike Warrants will be directed to reference, and rely on, the public disclosure filings of HEXO.
Immediately prior to the completion of the Arrangement, each of the directors of the boards of directors of Newstrike and its subsidiaries resigned.
HEXO's and Newstrike's operations are subject to a variety of laws, regulations and guidelines relating to the marketing, acquisition, manufacture, management, transportation, storage, sale and disposal of cannabis but also including laws and regulations relating to health and safety, the conduct of operations and the protection of the environment. To the knowledge of HEXO's management, HEXO and Newstrike are and following the completion of the Arrangement continue to be in compliance with all such laws. Changes to such laws, regulations and guidelines due to matters beyond the control of HEXO and Newstrike may cause adverse effects to HEXO's and Newstrike's combined operations.

Performance artist Marya, chronicles her year-long artistic journey to discover the source of creative ideas. The documentary is a window onto one artist's fragmented mindscape. It is a place strewn with threads of dangling ideas, concepts that evaporate into detours, false starts and frustrations. And yet, peppered throughout Marya's story are extraordinary revelations in the form of offerings from "the universe" not easily explained that propel her artwork forward.
