Q: How do I get rid of the space between  elements in a row in a html page? I'm displaying 3  in a row like this:

As you can see I have thin black borders around the images. My problem is that there are white spaces about 5px wide between the borders of neighbouring images and I have set the margin to be 0px but it does not work. So what is happening here?

A: An img is an inline element (sort of...) so spaces and new-lines are displayed in your div. To avoid that you can float the images but then you would have to add an overflow to the container as well:
div {
  overflow: hidden;
}
div img {
  float: left;
}

The overflow on the container is needed so that the container encapsulates the images. Otherwise it will collapse.

A: You can get rid of the gaps by setting the font-size on the container to zero ;
CSS
.imgContainer {
    font-size: 0px ;
    white-space: nowrap;
}

HTML

A: You have to remove the whitespaces (linebreaks & spaces) between the tags:

or make comments to keep linebreaks:

A: Wrap images in an ul and float the li:

and then we add display:block; to img css:
 ul li {
 float:left;
 display:inline;
 list-style:none;
 }
 ul li img {
 border: 1px solid #000;
 display:block;
 padding: 0;
 width: 300px;
 }

What is behind dark energy—and what connects it to the cosmological constant introduced by Albert Einstein? Two physicists from the University of Luxembourg point the way to answering these open questions of physics.
The universe has a number of bizarre properties that are difficult to understand with everyday experience. For example, the matter we know, consisting of atoms and molecules and other particles, apparently makes up only a small part of the energy density of the universe. The largest contribution, more than two-thirds, comes from "dark energy"—a hypothetical form of energy whose background physicists are still puzzling over.
Moreover, the universe is not only expanding steadily, but also doing so at an ever-faster pace. Both characteristics seem to be connected, because dark energy is also considered a driver of accelerated expansion. Moreover, it could reunite two powerful physical schools of thought: quantum field theory and the general theory of relativity developed by Albert Einstein. But there is a catch: calculations and observations have so far been far from matching. Now two researchers from Luxembourg have shown a way to solve this 100-year-old riddle in a paper published by Physical Review Letters.
The trail of virtual particles in a vacuum
"Dark energy arises from the formulas of quantum field theory," explains Prof. Alexandre Tkatchenko, Professor of Theoretical Solid State Physics at the Department of Physics and Material Sciences at the University of Luxembourg. This theory was developed to bring together quantum mechanics and general relativity, which are incompatible in fundamental aspects.
Its essential feature: in contrast to quantum mechanics, the theory considers not only particles but also material-less fields as quantum objects. "In this framework, many researchers regard dark energy as an expression of the so-called vacuum energy," says Tkatchenko: a physical quantity that, in a vivid image, is caused by a constant emergence of pairs of particles and their antiparticles—such as electrons and positrons—in what is actually empty space.
Physicists speak of this coming and going of virtual particles and their quantum fields as vacuum or zero-point fluctuations. While the particle pairs instantly vanish into nothingness again, they leave behind a certain amount of energy. "This vacuum energy also has a meaning in general relativity," the Luxembourg scientist notes. "It manifests itself in the cosmological constant Einstein inserted into his equations for mathematical reasons."
A colossal mismatch
Unlike dark energy, which can only be deduced from the formulae of quantum field theory, the cosmological constant can be determined directly by astrophysical experiments. Measurements with the Hubble space telescope and the Planck space mission have yielded close and reliable values for the fundamental physical quantity.
Calculations of dark energy on the basis of quantum field theory, on the other hand, yield results that correspond to a value of the cosmological constant that is up to 10120 times larger—a colossal discrepancy—although in the world view of physicists prevailing today, both values should be equal. The discrepancy found instead is known as the "cosmological constant enigma." "It is undoubtedly one of the greatest inconsistencies in modern science," says Alexandre Tkatchenko.
Unconventional way of interpretation
Together with his Luxembourg research colleague Dr. Dimitry Fedorov, he has now brought the solution to this puzzle, which has been open for decades, a significant step closer. In a theoretical paper, the results of which they recently published, the two Luxembourg researchers propose a new interpretation of dark energy. It assumes that the zero-point fluctuations lead to a polarizability of the vacuum, which can be both measured and calculated.
"In virtual pairs of particles with an electric charge, it arises from electrodynamic forces that these particles exert on each other during their extremely short existence," Tkatchenko explains. The physicists refer to this as a self-interaction, the polarizability in such particles a feature of the reaction to it. "It leads to an energy density that can be determined with the help of a new model," says the Luxembourg scientist.
Together with his research colleague Fedorov, he developed this model and presented it for the first time in 2018, originally used to describe atomic properties, for example in solids. Since the geometric characteristics are quite easy to measure experimentally, polarizability can also be determined via these diversions.
"We transferred this procedure to the processes in the vacuum," explains Fedorov. To do this, the two researchers looked at the behavior of electrons and positrons, which they treated as fields according to the principles of quantum field theory. The fluctuations of these fields can also be characterized by an equilibrium geometry whose value is already known from experiments.
"We inserted it into the formulas of our model and in this way ultimately obtained the strength of the polarization of the vacuum," Fedorov reports. The last step was then to quantum mechanically calculate the energy density of the self-interaction between the electrons and positrons. The result obtained in this way agrees well with the measured values for the cosmological constant: This means: "Dark energy can be traced back to the energy density of the self-interaction of quantum fields," emphasizes Alexandre Tkatchenko.
Consistent values and verifiable forecasts
"Our work thus offers an elegant and unconventional approach to solving the riddle of the cosmological constant," sums up the physicist. "Moreover, it provides a verifiable prediction: namely, that quantum fields such as those of electrons and positrons do indeed possess a small but ever-present polarization."
This finding points the way for future experiments to detect this polarization in the laboratory as well, say the two Luxembourg researchers, who now want to apply their model to other particle-antiparticle pairs. "Our conceptual idea should be applicable to any field," emphasizes Alexandre Tkatchenko. He sees the new results obtained together with Dimitry Fedorov as the first step towards a better understanding of dark energy—and its connection to Albert Einstein's cosmological constant.
Tkatchenko is convinced: "In the end, this will also shed light on the way in which quantum field theory and general reactivity theory are interwoven as two ways of looking at the universe and its components."

Large enterprise businesses will now need to start paying up for using WhatsApp. The Facebook owned company announced that large businesses will need to start paying for using the messaging and communication platform. However, WhatsApp will remain free for small-medium sized businesses.
In a blog post, WhatsApp said that businesses have different needs and will need an official presence. And so, it is building and testing new tools via a free WhatsApp Business app for small companies and an enterprise solution for bigger companies.
The enterprise solution will allow global companies to provide users with useful notifications like flight timings, delivery confirmation, and other such updates. In the statement released, it was mentioned that the company wants to facilitate someone placing an order with a local bakery or looking at new styles from a clothing store and shopkeepers who use WhatsApp to stay in touch with hundreds of customers from a single smartphone.
"We do intend on charging businesses in the future. We don't have the details of monetization figured out," said Matt Idema, WhatsApp's Chief Operating Officer.
A couple of weeks ago, WhatsApp began testing the verified accounts for businesses. WhatsApp will be giving out a green check mark badge next to their names. In addition, businesses will also be able to create a company profile with details of their address, business hours, product or service description and so on.

Baron Frederick von Steuben
Though Prussian by birth, Von Steuben trained George Washington's Colonial Army and was invaluable in helping them defeat the better equipped and trained British troops. The Baron arrived in the Colonies in September 1777, with his young aide de camp, Louis de Pontière, and his prized Italian greyhound, Azor. Soon after, he began teaching the essentials of military drills, tactics, disciplines, sanitation (previously soldiers just relieved themselves wherever they felt like) and use of the bayonet.
Steuben also developed a model company of 120 men, who in turn trained others. As part of his technique, the Baron would don full military dress and upbraid the troops in French and German. (He eventually recruited a captain to curse at them in English.) The Baron, one of the great heroes of the Revolutionary War, had long been considered "eccentric" and perhaps even "flamboyant," but it was Randy Shilts who outed him in Conduct Unbecoming: Gays & Lesbians in the U.S. Military, a seminal history published the year Don't Ask Don't Tell was instituted.

American actor Clark Gable and American actress Carole Lombard at the home of Carol's mother, on their return to Hollywood after they had eloped to Kingman, Arizona, for their romantic marriage, on April 7, 1939.
The world, was shocked by the death of Hollywood actress, Carole Lombard. On January 16th, 1942 an airplane carrying Lombard crashed into Mount Potosi killing all 22 people on-board.
She was known as the screwball queen of the movies. She was a comedian. She had done a lot of dramatic work especially in the early 1930s. That didn't really catch on. Personally, I think she was a pretty mediocre dramatic actress, but in comedy. She was a very funny person in real life. So she hit her stride in comedy.
She made something called "My Man Godfrey," which is her claim to fame. The picture she's really remembered for. She was Academy Award nominated for that role.
She falls in love with Clark Gable. The king of the movies… one of the most rampantly male actors and sort of a predator in Hollywood. She gets stuck with Clark Gable. She falls in love with him.
That's a pre-code picture, which means before there was a censorship code in Hollywood. It's a very racy picture. And at that time, Gable was playing scoundrels. That was his claim to fame.
Why was Lombard traveling at night?
She was engaged that week in the first war bonds sale after Pearl Harbor had been bombed. This was a national event in Indianapolis, Indiana. She had traveled there by train with her mother and with Clark Gable's press agent Otto Winkler, who also happened to be Gable's best friend.
On January 15, 1942, Carole Lombard had the best, biggest day of her life selling bonds in Indianapolis. She drew tens of thousands of people. She was on national radio twice that day, giving speeches. She raised flags. She attended a formal dinner with the governor and the mayor and other dignitaries. She was the big draw at an event that drew 12,000 people in downtown Indianapolis.
At that point, she was supposed to get back on the train the next day to head back to Hollywood. But she said, 'I have to get back home.' She was not willing to take the train. She wanted to fly home, which was extremely controversial because the government wanted her nowhere near a plane for two reasons. One: there could be sabotage. Because there were fifth columnists in America. German spies. German saboteurs. They were known to be around New York City, but the FBI didn't know exactly where they were or how big the network at this time.
The rampantly male Clark Gable, her husband, was having an affair with a Hollywood movie star named Lana Turner, who was just starting her career. A good 10 years younger than Carole, but another petite blond just like Carole.
The airfield that is now where Nellis Air Force Base is located played a part in her death. How?
When you think about transcontinental air transportation today, you get on a plane in New York City you can get to Los Angeles in about five hours. But in 1942, it was a very different experience. TWA and other airlines boasted: 'Coast to Coast in 17 hours!' which meant you stopped every few hundred miles.
So the flight she got on in Indianapolis had originated at La Guardia and then it flew to Newark and then it flew to Pittsburgh then Columbus, Dayton and then finally it went to Indianapolis, where it picked up Carole and then it flew to St. Louis and Kansas City and Wichita and Amarillo. It just hopped its way across the country.
And finally, it got to Albuquerque, and that point there was great consternation because the U.S. Army Air Corp had priority seating. If it had active duty soldiers, it could bump passengers off commercial airline. All of the commercial airline passengers were bumped off this TWA Flight 3 in Albuquerque so that Army Air Corp guys could get on, except Carole Lombard said, 'No, you can't bump me. I'm a star.' She refused to get off.
Lombard's party of three stayed on the plane with these Army Air Corp flyers. The plane took off late. It was already late because there was fog in St. Louis and weather trouble in Kansas City. So the plane was late and then later because of this melee in Albuquerque.
It takes off and flies three more hours. It was supposed to fly into Boulder City for refueling… but then it got dark and there were not lights at Boulder City. They were diverted to McCarran Airfield [which is now Nellis Air Force Base], which had runway lights. It was a Western Air terminal at that time. It refueled. It took off at about 7:07 p.m. for Burbank.
It was a clear night but it was moonless. It struck Potosi 15 minutes after takeoff.
Fourteen hours after the crash the first people got to the site. They started at dawn. So for them it was about five hours of climbing. I made that climb, following their route to get up to the crash site and boy is it tough.
How many people were on board and how many people died?
Twenty-two people were onboard. Twenty-two people died.
The plane was climbing to altitude at about 185 miles an hour, full of gas, just fueled up at McCarran. It hit the cliffs of Potosi about 200 feet below the crest. Full on. Direct hit with both engine spinning. The physics of it were horrible.
The FBI investigated the crash. Why?
Because of the thought of sabotage. The German fifth columnists. Were they active? Had they somehow brought down the plane? They got a number of anonymous tips that a bomb had been placed on the plane. They had to follow that up and look at the wreckage.
I have a hypothesis that it was a thousand little things that added up to disaster. Something as simple as: on the DC 3, if the interior lights are on in the cockpit they reflect on the windscreen and you can't see objects outside.
Common practice at the time was when the pilot filled out his log - wheels up 7:07 p.m. – he has a little pen flashlight and he would shine this little light on his paper in his lap in the cockpit. Because they wanted to be able to see out the window. The only thing that makes sense is that he didn't follow the standard practice and he had the lights too bright and he couldn't see the mountain coming.
But on the other hand, this was TWA's most experienced pilot, 15,000 hours of air time logged in commercial flight. Made no sense whatsoever.
Maybe I solved it maybe I didn't. It is just a very tough thing.
What did the crash do to Clark Gable?
He never recovered. He loved this woman has much as a Clark Gable could love anyone. But he was a selfish, very selfish human. He was used to having his way. He was used to be spoiled. He was used to living by his own standards. When she died, he realized what he had lost and he realized why she was rushing home. So he had both grief and guilt to deal with. To his credit, I will say that the crash changed him fundamentally. He became a much more compassionate person.

Reuters/Ipsos Data: Core Political (10/31/2018)
Turnout will be likely be the deciding factor in which party wins the House and Senate in next week's election.

Reuters/Ipsos Data: Core Political (10/31/2018) from Ipsos Public Affairs
Washington, D.C. – In our final Core Political release before next week's midterm elections, the Reuters/Ipsos poll finds that Democrats remain positioned to make gains across the country. However, if this election will be the 'blue wave' hyped for much of the year or just a blue ripple will come down to small differences in relative turnout between the Republican and Democratic bases and a small number of late deciding voters.
Our last pre-election national poll shows Democrats continuing to hold a seven-point lead on the generic congressional ballot among likely voters with a significant block of undecided voters (49% Democrat, 42% Republican, 3% other, 6% don't know). Partisans are almost entirely unified in intention to vote for their ticket (93% of Democrats vs 91% of Republicans) with the plurality of Independent voters supporting the Democrats (38% to 22% voting Republican).
Ipsos, along with Reuters and the University of Virginia Center for Politics, has also released our final round of state polls this morning. We find Florida trending blue, Arizona trending Red, and the Kansas governor's race a tossup. However, all remain extremely close. These polls can be found on our website at www.ipsos.com/en-us/news-polls/. The summation of our twenty state polls this cycle show that races across the South and Southwest remain highly competitive, but the Midwest states of the "blue wall" look to be swinging back towards the Democratic Party.
Speaking of President Trump, his approval rating remains stable at 41% this week among all Americans. Republicans remain strongly behind the President with 87% approving of his job performance, including 57% strongly approving. Along with the President, the main issues defining this election continue to be healthcare (for Democrats) and immigration (for Republicans).
About this Study
These are findings from an Ipsos poll conducted for Thomson Reuters between September 11, 2018. For the survey, a sample of 2,274 Americans, including 1,383 likely voters, 636 likely voter Democrats, 591 likely voter Republicans, and 115 likely voter Independents ages 18+ were interviewed online. The precision of the Reuters/Ipsos online polls is measured using a credibility interval. In this case, the poll has a credibility interval of plus or minus 2.2 percentage points for all adults, 3.0 percentage points for likely voters, 4.4 percentage points for likely voter Democrats, 4.6 percentage points for likely voter Republicans, and 10.4 percentage points for likely voter Independents. For more information about credibility intervals, please see the appendix.

Series comprises art and photographic records relating to the life and career of Richard Dennison Taylor. The material was acquired through several donations. The first acquisition comprises a small number of finished cartoons published in the Collier's, in the New Yorker, and, later, in Playboy Magazine; a very large number of cartoon pencil roughs for the same publications, many of which were published later in finished form; roughs for commercial work; original artwork and lay-outs for children's books; roughs and published greeting cards; and a substantial number of works relating to Taylor's surrealistic figures and landscapes which include prints, drawings, oil paintings and watercolours. Of note is a caricature of Adolf Hitler published in the New Yorker in April 1943. An accrual, donated in 2003, comprises primarily the preliminary drawings and finished illustrations used in the publication of books, both for Taylor's own humour collection and in his collaborations with other writers. Titles of note are Fractured French (1950), By the Dawn's Ugly Light (1953), Never Say Diet (1954), and Nothing Brightens a Garden Like Primrose Pants (1955). Of particular interest are the page illustrations and roughs for his manual for would-be cartoonists entitled Introduction to Cartooning (1947). Further unique items include childhood drawings, additional work from the surrealistic series, a caricature of Taylor's father-in-law Newton MacTavish, and the linocut blocks used to make his surrealistic prints. Also retained as reference material related to this series of art and photographic records is a collection of Taylor's publications. A subsequent accrual in 2006 comprises forty original cartoons created for and published in the New Yorker. Photographic material comprises mainly studio publicity photographs of Taylor, many taken of him working at his drawing board and in his art studio. Also included are a number of photographs of works from his surrealistic series which were exhibited at the Valentine Gallery in New York City in 1941 and, later, at the Whitney Museum. A 2006 accrual added forty original cartoons published in the New Yorker Magazine. An additional acquisition in 2008 included illustrations for the New Yorker column "The Talk of the Town" and a further nineteen published cartoons.

Today's Headlines and Commentary

President Trump confirmed Wednesday that CIA director Mike Pompeo met with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un as part of the administration's effort to plan a summit involving direct talks between Kim and Trump, the Washington Post reports. The president tweeted that the meeting, which occurred during Easter weekend, helped establish a good relationship between Washington and Pyongyang. Pompeo's visit to the reclusive leader marks the highest-level engagement between the U.S. and North Korea since Secretary of State Madeleine Albright discussed strategic issues with Kim Jong Il in 2000. Trump has said he hopes to meet with Kim by early June.
South Korea is in talks with North Korea and the U.S. aimed at drafting a peace treaty to formally end the Korean War, the New York Times reports. North Korean leader Kim Jong Un told Chung Eui-yong, South Korea's national security adviser, that Pyongyang will surrender its nuclear arms in exchange for certain security guarantees. In the past, North Korea has indicated that a peace treaty to end the Korean war and normalization of ties with Washington would be paramount among those security guarantees. South Korean officials added Wednesday that any final peace treaty would have to involve China, as Beijing supported the North during the Korean War and signed the armistice that brought the violence to a close.
Sen. Richard Burr (R.-N.C.), chairman of the Senate intelligence committee, announced Wednesday that the panel's confirmation hearing on the nomination of deputy CIA director Gina Haspel to lead the spy agency will not occur until May, Politico reports. The decision to delay the hearing gives Haspel more time to speak with senators, who continue to press the CIA to disclose more information about the deputy director's involvement with the Bush administration's controversial enhanced interrogation program. The agency has not indicated whether it intends to share new information about Haspel's record. The deputy director's confirmation hearing was originally scheduled to take place during the last week of April. CIA director Mike Pompeo's confirmation hearing on his nomination to serve as secretary of state could occur as early as next week.
On Friday afternoon, a woman tried to enter CIA headquarters with a loaded 9mm pistol, the Post reports. The woman, Beth Hunt, drove from Ohio to the headquarters in Langley. An officer in the agency's protective service stopped Hunt's car before she could enter the compound and seized the gun from her handbag after reading a note she handed him indicating the presence of the gun there. Hunt appeared in federal court Tuesday on the charge of possessing a firearm on the grounds of an agency installation. The judge ruled that Hunt should be held without bond.
Sen. Bob Corker (R.-Tenn.), chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said Wednesday that President Trump will leave the Iran nuclear deal if America's European allies fail to address his concerns with the deal, Politico reports. Corker has "some degree of hope" that German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Emmanuel Macron's coming visits to Washington will help address the president's concerns with Iran's missile program, facility inspections, and the deal's sunset provisions. While European partners seem ready to address the first two concerns, countries like Germany do not want to expand and strengthen sunset provisions. The president believes strengthening these provisions will prevent Iran from restarting its nuclear program, while Merkel argues that changing the provisions amounts to rewriting the deal. On May 12, Trump will decide whether to issue another sanctions waiver through the deal. Should nothing change between now and then, Corker remains confident that Trump will withdraw the U.S. from the fledgling pact.
Unidentified individuals fired on a U.N. security team performing reconnaissance in the town of Douma in advance of inspections by investigators from the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, Reuters reports. The OPCW inspectors planned to examine sites in the city as part of the watchdog organization's broader investigation into whether the Assad regime used chemical weapons in its assault on Douma. The small-arms fire which confronted the security teams has led to an indefinite delay of the investigation into the use of toxic weapons, however, as officials struggled to assess when the town would become safe enough for the investigators to enter. Defense Secretary James Mattis accused the Syrian government of intentionally delaying the inspections, citing the regime's history of trying to erase evidence of chemical weapons attacks.
During a hearing before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on U.S. policy in Yemen on Tuesday, Trump administration officials faced harsh questioning from Republican and Democratic lawmakers concerning America's role in the conflict and its support for Saudi Arabia, the Post reports. The intense questioning reflects growing pressure among U.S. lawmakers for the administration reconsider its role in a war that has caused one of the world's largest humanitarian crises. The hearing comes as a bipartisan contingent of senators on the panel works to advance legislation subjecting American support for Saudi Arabia to a series of benchmark certifications, the foremost of which seeks to reduce civilian casualties drastically and demonstrably.

FL W&R 2008 Fall Retreat!
In October, it will have been a year since we have gathered together, and it is time that we do so again. Much of the zeitgeist lately has been on China and all things Chinese, so we thought we would take a look at some of the very old stories involving women and goddesses in that tradition.
One of the themes of Chinese folklore is how the lead character overcomes difficulties. We have decided to overcome the difficulty of the 22 steps to the upstairs room by setting up a tent-canopy on the grass, and using that as our large-group gathering space. We wanted to make sure that those who cannot climb stairs could feel able to attend. Please keep in mind that this is an experiment, and we can use positive as well as negative feedback on how this works out. And bring your bug repellent.
The altar will also be outdoors this year, so things that you bring for the altar should be of a nature that can handle some outside exposure.
Much of Chinese culture involves contrasts: dark and light, lucky and unlucky, loud and soft, gain and loss. We will have elements of noise and quiet. We will have elements to help you release resentments in unexpected ways. We will consider our ancestors, and our own futures.
We can only savor a few flavors in a short time, so this is a light(-hearted) review of a few elements of an old and significant culture. Sometimes laughter is the easiest road to understanding.


The Ibsen drama is retold in three short acts. Or actually, since from the original play one line remains, re-written. Additions and variations on the theme saying truth, taking responsibility and becoming an outcast. The fi rst act talking about brushing teeth and lies. The second act showing ignorance of others. In the third act we see Pluto and Charon revolve around each other as a metaphor of trust in a relationship.

Kate gives speech at SportsAid event
Fashion Jewelry Kate Middleton
February 29, 2020 February 29, 2020 by katemiddletonreview
SportsAid, to me, is The Lost Patronage (actually, she has a few of these). This is the patronage Kate goes years in between visiting – her last visit was March 2018, and before that it was June 2016 – and she misses their major events every year. All to say The Duchess of Cambridge finally visited SportsAid! Yay! Kate attended an event on February 26 where she gave a speech about supporting the parents of athletes.
SportsAid
The event took place at the London Stadium, Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, and Kate met several of the current and former athletes, and partook in several activities, including: taekwondo with Lutalo Muhammad and Mia Pachansky; starting blocks with coach Coral Nourrice, Jessica Ennis-Hill, Danny Sidbury, and Emmanuel Oyinbo-Coker; and other track and field sports.
Kate's next stop was meeting with the parents and guardians of the athletes to discuss challenges they face.
Kate then gave a speech to the audience.
Thank you so much. It's been fascinating to speak to so many of you here today and also to hear, just now, about some of the experiences you all have, as young athletes and as parents. SportsAid are a shining example of how organisations can reach out and listen to families, and provide the best support possible to enable their children to flourish.
The crucial role that parents and caregivers play in our children's lives cannot be underestimated. For all of you here, you go, and have gone, above and beyond the call of duty; you've committed your time and devotion to nurturing your children's exceptional talents. And as a parent, I have a huge admiration for you and I know just how complex and time-consuming your role is.
You are simultaneously the transport and logistics managers, nutritionists, laundry service, psychologists, financiers, and crucially, the ones that provide love, support and encouragement when things are tough. You may not always feel appreciated, or sometimes even noticed on the sidelines, in the car park or sitting high in the stands. But I am so proud that SportsAid recognises how key your role is and that they understand the challenges and worries you face.
On behalf of SportsAid, I'd like to thank all the parents and guardians who have played, or are playing, their part in developing this country's young sporting talent.
Finally, I know this is an incredibly exciting but daunting time for many of SportsAid's young athletes, so I'd like to wish the best of luck to all those aiming to participate in the Olympic and Paralympic Games this year. We'll all be cheering you on. Thank you for having me.

You can hear Kate's speech in full in the video below, as well as see the activities she took part in.
Kate is gearing up for her Ireland tour by donning an all-green outfit for this event (save for her navy Smythe blazer she's worn for years).
Kate sported a new top from Mango, the ribbed knit sweater in green (originally $39.99), and green Zara culottes (originally $49.90). The shoes are also new, they're Marks & Spencer Ribbon Detail Lace Up Trainers ($50.00).
Kate's earrings are her frequently worn Monica Vinader Green Onyx earrings, and her recently debuted Daniella Draper monogram necklace.
I like the outfit better with the blazer to break up all the green, but it's not terrible. It's fine, I guess. It's interesting that Kate has taken such a shine to culottes, though, as opposed to her much-loved jeggings.

Forkast.News — May 11, 2021 | 8:08 pm HKT
FTX CEO on tokenized stocks; South Korean police officers want crypto | The Daily Forkast
FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried joins Forkast.News to share how the exchange is able to provide new financial products while still satisfying regulators.
FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried goes one-on-one with Forkast.News to talk about tokenized stocks and the importance of licenses to innovate the finance industry.
South Korean police officers speak out against anti-crypto policy.
Governments such as South Korea continue to grapple with crypto concerns, but Singapore is turning to education over regulation.
We'll have more on that story — and other news shaping the cryptocurrency and blockchain world — in this episode of The Daily Forkast, May 11.
Welcome to The Daily Forkast, May 11th, 2021. I'm Angie Lau. Let's get you up to speed. From Asia to the world.
A Forkast exclusive as nearly everyone continues to seek out new opportunities in the crypto space, one firm with roots in Asia has taken the lead in capturing investors' imaginations. Now two-year-old Hong Kong-operated FTX reports a 25x year-over-year increase from April of last year.
FTX is one of the industry's leading derivatives exchanges most well known for pioneering in creative financial instruments like tokenizing stocks, including Coinbase's public listing, pre-IPO. Investors got to make bets in Coinbase before it even went public.
But ingenuity has also raised regulatory concerns. So how does FTX think about this? We spoke with FTX founder and CEO Sam Bankman-Fried on the firm's two-year anniversary. FTX's secret to navigating through some regulatory obstacles, licenses.
"Right now, you can't actually withdraw any of the tokens, any of stocks as tokens from FTX. So it is really more like a traditional brokerage offering, but that might change and I think it is something we and others are looking into, what it would take to get to the point where these could become actually free-floating tokens on the blockchain. That will require some more regulatory legwork. The core pieced answered is that, yeah, there's license for this. And I think our philosophy is always get a license when there is one."
Others in the industry are watching closely as well. HashKey Group chief operating officer and risk manager Angelina Kwan, who also spent close to a decade working for Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission says, regulators are likely to provide more guidance on tokenized products such as stocks.
"So I believe tokenized stocks will actually follow in the same respect in terms of requirements to documentation. Regulators have already been looking at this area. It's nothing new to them. Shouldn't be any surprise, but they'll probably issue more guidance in this area as the market develops."
Around the markets now, Bitcoin down almost 5% and in the top ten for cryptocurrencies, the opposite of yesterday. We're seeing all top ten in red. Doge is today's biggest loser, down nearly 13.5%.
Meanwhile, South Korean police aren't taking getting policed on crypto well, as officers from the South Korean police are struggling to make sense of a new rule banning them from crypto trading, some are now speaking out.
One officer telling local media outlet, Incheon-ilbo that criminalization and punishment of personal crypto trades is like communist state control. Another questions how police are supposed to investigate illicit cryptocurrency transactions if they're not even allowed to own it and understand the inner workings.
And by the way, more rules for crypto exchanges in South Korea as well. If you want to do business as an exchange, there's legislation on the table that will expand what crypto exchanges are legally liable for, including providing cybersecurity for investors to prevent hacks and anti-money laundering. For what was once a very dynamic crypto-embracing country, we're starting to see legislation clampdown.
And finally this, as many governments like South Korea grapple with crypto concerns and how to protect their citizens. Sometimes legislating is not the only way.
The chairman of the Monetary Authority of Singapore or MAS was asked in Parliament: How is the government thinking about protecting retail investors when it comes to crypto? His answer? The country's best defense is an informed public. Makes sense to me.
And that's the Daily Forkast from our vantage point right here in Asia. For more, visit Forkast.News. I'm Angie Lau. Until the next time.

Glassio "If I Was Your Boy" (Blue Hawaii remix)
By Sarah Murphy
New York-based electro-pop two-piece Glassio are gearing up to drop their debut EP Poptimism next week, but before the full set arrives, Exclaim! is giving you the exclusive first listen to a brand new remix of the band's latest single.
"If I Was Your Boy" is a high-gloss synth-pop party-starter, but it's been given a slightly less bubbly reworking courtesy of Blue Hawaii's Alex Cowan. The reimagined piece evokes a slightly more sinister vibe, stripping the original back a bit to emphasize a pattern of hollow, haunting echoes and faraway vocals.
"'If I Was Your Boy' is the kind of song that kickstarts the night," the duo tells Exclaim! "Whereas the remix places the song in a deep and dark after hours setting — a sound that embodies the headspace of a 28-year-old clubber, stumbling out of a warehouse at sunrise to the dismal nature of every day life."
Glassio's Poptimism arrives on February 16, but you can listen to Blue Hawaii's brand new take on their track in the player below. For reference, you'll find the original single version of "If I Was Your Boy" beneath that.

Oh, New Year's Eve. The only day of the year where most of the world decides, yes, we will stay up all night long. You want to bring in 2017 in the most stress-free way possible, and as much as you love your kids, having them awake and grumpy doesn't help this goal. That's where Netflix comes in again. Welcome to the world of fake New Year's Eve countdowns.
No matter how much they want to see the new year, nothing can kill a night faster than an exhausted kid throwing a temper tantrum. The streaming giant understands your struggle, and it's here to help with some light trickery. Starting on December 28, Netflix added a handful of customized countdowns for some of its children and family originals. All you need to do is throw on one of these countdowns, have a mini celebration with your little bit, put them to bed, and then go enjoy the adults-only party. It's a quick, relatively painless solution that allows everyone to celebrate New Year's Eve without anyone missing the countdown and without any parties getting awkward.
But a word of warning: If you want to pull this trick, you probably shouldn't stream the Fuller House New Year's Eve episode "Happy New Year Baby." The entire third act is about how Netflix specifically has fake countdowns for New Year's Eve, which you may notice completely unravels this particular white lie. Yes, that is an odd choice for the show to make.

Clarifying the Security Arrangements Debate: Israeli Forces in the Jordan Valley
(Washington Institute for Near East Policy) Michael Eisenstadt and Robert Satloff - For the Israelis, the principle is that the Jordan River must, for a lengthy period, remain their eastern security border. This means maintaining an Israeli military presence that not only guards against terrorist infiltration and weapons smuggling, but that could also provide the basis for a first line of defense against threats that may someday emerge east of the river. While Israel welcomes cooperative security arrangements with Jordan and the Palestinians in this effort, it looks around at the ineffectual third-party forces on its other borders - especially UNIFIL in Lebanon, UNDOF in the Golan Heights, and UNTSO which still operates in Jerusalem six decades after its creation - and rejects the idea that international forces, even from NATO, could replace its own troops. Israel also wants the term of its military presence along the river defined by certain criteria, not limited by a "date certain" that would be determined without regard to existing strategic realities. In fact, the current Israeli military presence in the valley consists of a handful of infantry companies (totaling 200-500 troops) plus a smaller number of security personnel at the border crossings, many not in uniform. Israel is able to maintain such a limited force because of close coordination with highly professional Jordanian security forces, cooperative working relations with Palestinian security forces, and the supplementary use of advanced technology. Palestinians may take a different view if their leaders clarified that the question of Israel's future military presence in the valley concerns a few hundred personnel, not the thousands that are often implied. The size and status of residual Israeli forces in the Jordan Valley is only one of several thorny security issues that remain unresolved, including Israel's demand for early warning stations on strategic hilltops in the West Bank; arrangements for the aerial approaches to Ben-Gurion International Airport; access and control over the main east-west roads and passes in the West Bank; management and control of airspace and the electromagnetic spectrum in the Palestinian territories; and details of the Palestinian state's demilitarization. Michael Eisenstadt is director of The Washington Institute's Military and Security Studies Program. Robert Satloff is executive director of the Institute.

Support thread for Terrorist Attack Manchester.
Those poor families, no one should ever have to go through something so horrific.
@Reeve I am going to ask you to dial way back on the anti-religion comments.
It doesnt matter whether it is christian, muslim or jew - we do not condemn people based on their religion here.
There is not a person on this site who has defended, or failed to be outraged over the happenings in Manchester - but a general statement blaming muslims, and specifically blaming Australia's cultural diversity for these attacks ... is not acceptable.
Further comments of this nature will be deleted as they are offensive.
Lets take the focus off the sick individual who caused this tragedy whoever they may be and focus on those that have died and their famlies. Also what some of these children and teenagers have tragically seen and how it will affect them.
And on that note, we shall close this thread.
Thread re-opened after a big clean-up. It is now a thread for the purpose in which it should be, a loving and supportive thread for those affected by this terrible tragedy.
I'm not a terrorist...just a shopper!

Distribution of river sand stopped in Tamil Nadu, allege bodies; PWD denies
Editor | April 1, 2019 @ 06:15 PM
The Tamil Nadu State Sand Lorry Owner's Federation has charged that the Public Works Department (PWD) has stopped online booking for a supply of river sand for public distribution.
In a memorandum to chief electoral officer Satyabrata Sahoo, the federation's President, S Yuvaraj, said the online booking for river sand has been stopped from March 22, citing the Lok Sabha election.
This has affected several labourers employed in ferrying sand. "The government has halted the distribution of river sand to the public on the grounds of parliamentary elections. However, there are no restrictions on the operation of Tasmac shops," he said.
R Panneerselvam, President of the Federation of Tamil Nadu Sand Lorry Owners Coordination, said the PWD has not been supplying sand since one week. "There are nine depots in the Cauvery belt, besides Cuddalore and Villupuram districts. So far, 450 loads of sand were distributed, but it's been stopped now," he said. According to him, the PWD was providing sand only to the contractors engaged in public works. "Several builders use river sand as a substitute form-sand. We are not in a position to supply it," he said.
Meanwhile, 60,000 tonnes of river sand imported from Malaysia is also lying idle at the Ennore Kamarajar port. Official sources said the sand reached the port last week, which was the fifth consignment from the Southeast Asian country since the government has been sourcing sand from overseas.
However, PWD sources said the supply of sand has not been stopped. "We open the booking on Friday evening at 4 pm and allow booking for the quantity scheduled the following week. Every depot is supplying 150 to 200 loads every day," the official said.
The official said booking for imported sand would start by mid-April.

The term Nawab of Pataudi refers to the lineage of rulers of the former princely Pataudi State in Northern India. Pataudi was established in 1804 by the British East India Company, when Faiz Talab Khan, an Afghan Muslim Pashtun of the Barech tribe, who was made the first Nawab, aided them in their battle against the Maratha Empire, during the Second Anglo-Maratha War. The family traces their origin to 16th century India, when their ancestors immigrated from present day Afghanistan to India during the period of the Lodi dynasty.The 8th Nawab of Pataudi, Iftikhar Ali Khan Pataudi, played first-class cricket for both England and India while his son, Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi, was the nawab later on. Saif Ali Khan is the present Nawab of Pataudi.
The Nawabs of Bhopal were the Muslim rulers of Bhopal, now part of Madhya Pradesh, India. The nawabs first ruled under the Mughal Empire from 1707 until 1818, then under British rule from 1818 to 1947, and independently thereafter until it was acceded to India in 1949. The females nawabs of Bhopal held the title Nawab Begum of Bhopal.
The Pataudi family is an Indian dynasty of nawabs of the former princely state of Pataudi, from which they take their name. The first nawab was Faiz Talab Khan who was granted the state in 1804 by the British for aiding them in the Second Anglo-Maratha War. His descendants subsequently ruled the state until 1948, when it was merged with East Punjab and acceded to Dominion of India. The Pataudis retained their titles and were granted privy purses until both were abolished by the Indian government in 1971. The last ruling nawab was Iftikhar Ali Khan Pataudi and the last recognised titular nawab was his son Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi. The current head of the family is Saif Ali Khan.Both Iftikhar Ali Khan Pataudi and Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi were cricket players and played for, and also captained, the Indian national cricket team; the former had also played for the England cricket team in 1930s. The present members of the family consist mostly of actors who work predominantly in the Hindi film industry.
Saba Ali Khan (Born 1976) is a jewelry designer and mutawalli (Chief Trustee) of the Auqaf-e-Shahi (Royal Trust) established by the princely state of Bhopal as a royal charitable endowment. She is the daughter of the late Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi and Sharmila Tagore and the sister of Indian actors, Saif Ali Khan and Soha Ali Khan. She is the granddaughter of Sajida Begum, the Nawab Begum of Bhopal.
The Sri Lanka national cricket team are toured India in January and February 1994 to play three Test matches and three One Day Internationals (ODIs).The tour followed the Sri Lankan's participation in the 1993 Hero Cup, where they reached the semi-final and was surrounded by controversy.
Sri Lanka only toured India after the Pakistan national cricket team pulled out citing security concerns. The Sri Lankan team manager, Bandula Warnapura, as was the case a few months earlier at the Hero Cup, blamed the batting failures of the first two test matches on poor umpiring decisions.
The series was played on spin-friendly pitches on which India had built up a formidable record. India won their eighth straight home win since the defeat of Sri Lanka in 1990-91 and their second successive series whitewash after beating England in 1992-93. Contrary to popular beliefs of the time that test matches in India produced boring draws, this series meant that the last 12 tests, from Madras in 1987-88 had produced a result- 11 wins for India. Azharuddin joined Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi and Sunil Gavaskar as India's most successful captains, with 9 wins each.
Further cause for celebration for India came when Kapil Dev became test cricket's highest wicket-taker, surpassing Richard Hadlee's tally of 431, which had stood for three and a half years.
Welham Boys' School is a boarding school located in Dehra Dun, India. The school is a residential school for boys and is affiliated with CBSE.
The West Indies cricket team, captained by Clive Lloyd, toured India, Sri Lanka and Pakistan from November 1974 to March 1975 and played a five-match Test series against the India national cricket team followed by a two-match series against the Pakistan national cricket team. West Indies won the series in India 3–2 and the series in Pakistan was drawn 0–0. In Sri Lanka, the West Indians played two internationals against the Sri Lanka national cricket team which had not then achieved Test status; therefore, the internationals played at the Colombo Cricket Club Ground and the Paikiasothy Saravanamuttu Stadium, both in Colombo, are classified as first-class matches. India were captained by Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi, Pakistan by Intikhab Alam and Sri Lanka by Anura Tennekoon.
The West Indian cricket team toured India and Ceylon in December 1966 and January 1967 to play a three-match Test series against the Indian national cricket team. West Indies won the Test series 2–0. India were captained by Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi and West Indies by Garfield Sobers. In January, the West Indians played a first-class rated international against the Ceylon national cricket team at the Paikiasothy Saravanamuttu Stadium, Colombo. The match was drawn. Ceylon were captained by Michael Tissera.


It's Piano Festival time this weekend with an action-packed feast of wonderful music.
For the popular lunchtime recital spots on Saturday and Sunday the Festival welcomes young up-and-coming pianists Isata Kanneh-Mason and Jessica Zhu both making return visits to Hebden Bridge following sell-out concerts at previous Festivals.
As usual there are family and children's events and this year the festival welcomes Helen Reid who will be giving two short, intimate, interactive recitals for very young children.
This year the Festival has introduced special, low-cost tickets for young people and older children (aged 11+) available for six specified events including two concerts by Darius Battiwalla, who will provide piano accompaniment for some classic silent movies.
In addition to the classical recitals, there's a superb concert given by the celebrated jazz pianist Nikki Yeoh. The Festival programme also includes free concerts, a masterclass, student recitals and a late-night event featuring Dom Pipkin, one of the most authentic and spirited players of blues and New Orleans piano in Europe today.
Hebden Bridge Piano Festival is held in the fully accessible Town Hall and is an event that makes every effort to involve the whole community.
There is something for everyone including inexpensive concerts for children and families, free jazz and blues gigs in the Town Hall's café, and, weather permitting, a piano on the riverside terrace for absolutely anyone to play.
Weekend passes and tickets for the Charles Owen/Katya Apekisheva duet concert have now sold out, but there are still tickets for all other concerts available online and from the Town Hall reception desk all weekend.
That includes three of the Festival's headline concerts, with Danny Driver, Mark Bebbington and Reiko Fujisawa who all enjoy huge reputations across the globe. Each of their programmes brings an exciting blend of well-loved music from the past, plus inspiring contemporary works.

So Long, Suckers
Jersey hero takes one last shot at loser Jets via obituary
By Coleman Bentley
Emilee Chinn
The 2020 New York Jets are bad. Actually, that doesn't do it justice. The 2020 New York Jets are historically awful. They're 0-13 and staring down the barrel of just the third 0-16 season in NFL history. They're dead last in total offense. 29th in total defense. They still somehow employ Adam Gase and Joe Flacco, and when they had all but wrapped up their first win of the season against the Raiders two weeks ago, they called an all-out blitz in a hail-mary scenario and got torched. Defensive coordinator Gregg Williams lost his job for that one, but every football literate soul on earth knows he was just a patsy for the greatest NFL dive ever taken. It's a good ol' fashioned Meadowlands Mess at the moment, and Jets fans are making their displeasure heard . . . even from the grave.
RELATED: This depressing SNY segment says everything you need to know about the New York Jets
Our thoughts go out to Edward's family. Losing a loved one is never easy . . . and it's even more difficult when you have to get up on Sunday and watch your gangrenous franchise invent a new, humiliating way to lose. And as the Michael clan make sure to point out, said embarrassments might have even played a role in Ed's passing. We're not sure what medical professionals would say about that diagnosis, but as football fans, we know it to be as real as old age and illness.
RELATED: Fire Adam Gase into the sun (Jets fans' words, not ours)
In the Jets' defense (we can't believe we just typed that), we have seen this play out before with other beleaguered franchises. Just a few years ago, dearly departed Eagles fan Jeffrey Riegel requested "8 Philadelphia Eagles as pallbearers" in his obituary so the Eagles could "let him down one last time." Six months later, the Birds were Super Bowl champs. Could we see the same from the Jets come February 2022? Don't bet on it.


Thread: List of Recoomended products for weed type?
Does anyone know of an online place you can search by weed for herbicide type products that are recommended preferably by all manufacturers but even manufacturer specific would be a start. there is a vast amount of useless bumph online about sprays but I can't find anything to select a weed and give the product options. Nearly every search throws up "lawn products". Surely there's a place you can type in your weed and the product options are offered. An opportunity for a phone app for someone? A really good phone app and you could take the weed's picture and it would give it's name!
Re: List of Recoomended products for weed type?
An opportunity for one of the students who are seeking research input through their surveys?
I had this bookmark saved - not sure if the products are still current, however main site is still working and has a fair bit of info. Years ago ICI used to produce a good booklet available at shows, or can you remember Dept of Agriculture farm advisory leaflets ? This was from a time when they actually supported farmers and not marking red areas on maps !
The Clarendon column in the farming press sometimes gives a bit of info but in general I find the two Northern farming papers prefer to feature pictures of young farmers socials rather than trying to educate. Farmers Journal sometimes has a good feature on sprays.
