This explosion forces the piston down which is what turns the driveshaft the part that brings power to the transmission this also moves the other pistons to that they can complete their cycles. Additionally, many engines cool the piston through the use of oil sprayed onto the underside. At any given, frozen instant in time, one piston is being pushed, one is drawing in, one is compressing, and one is exhausting. Being rigid, a connecting rod may transmit either push or pull, allowing the rod to rotate the crank through both halves of a revolution. So keep in mind, each piston goes through the four cycles, in order, for each complete combustion process. Buy new oversized bearings to put in the oversized holes. Remove main bearing caps and number them front to back.
The piston rings are not required in the smaller compressors. The wrist pin is a cylinder of steel that slides through the side of the piston and through the top hole in the connecting rod. It has a chain link 'motor' and pedals for which you push down on to move the bike. Can you develop parts with our drawing9 Yes, please offer your drawing with technical requirments. A piston, along with a connecting rod, will convert the force of an expanding gas into a rotational energy. If there is a problem with the connecting rod, there could be big trouble. Small steam locomotive, with piston rod visible between the cylinder green, left and the crosshead right.
Normally, the material use for manufacturing the connecting or piston rod is steel, aluminium or titanium. Mount engine on a engine … stand. A common arrangement for forked rods is for the fork rod to have a single wide bearing sleeve that spans the whole width of the rod, including the central gap. For static applications, they can activate to provide emergency holding strength during a power outage or disconnection in air supply. In a few two-stroke engines the connecting rod is only required to push. The green velocity line shows the relative speed of the piston as a % of maximum at any point.

In motorcycles the valves for the head tend to be side valve or overhead. All these parts have been described in details below refer the image below : Refrigeration Compressor 1 Cylinder: In small compressors the cylinder is made by directly boring into the main body of the compressor, which is usually made up of cast iron. Remove heads and oil pan, unbolt connecting rods, push rod and piston assembly out through top of block.
In a pump, the function is reversed and force is transferred from the crankshaft to the piston for the purpose of compressing or ejecting the in the cylinder. A connecting rod may also convert rotating motion into reciprocating motion, its original use. This can cause a ridge to build up over the lifetime of the engine. All commercial vehicles which use this type of engine, there connecting rods are used. Although compact, for use in a cramped submarine, this design of engine was not repeated.
Rod locking cylinders are an important component for ensuring safety in the case of compressed air supply failure. Static rod locking devices, on the other hand, are generally flange-mounted externally onto the front-end cover of the pneumatic cylinder. These parts together are known as the piston assembly. I can't imagine why anyone would. Note the small brass lubricator the leftmost , whose function is to lubricate the piston rod and stuffing box, through a short oil pipe Almost all steam locomotives have used a similar design of cylinder, with a crosshead slide mounted adjacent to the cylinder and a short piston rod between them.
The piston rod now had to transmit a force alternately pushing and pulling. The rod cap nuts and main cap bolts have specified torque tightness that is critical to not having a problem. Figure 8 As explained in Piston Motion above, the piston motion in the first 90° of rotation consists of the sum of the effect of the half-stroke motion of the crankpin projected onto the vertical plane 2. Here's a total break down. The piston in an air compressor for those kinds that have them takes the mechanical energy applied to the cran … k shaft and uses it to compress the fluid air that it was designed to compress.
They are not rigidly fixed at either end, so that the angle between the connecting rod and the piston can change as the rod moves up and down and rotates around the. More accurately, there are four jobs and four pistons, and none of the jobs are done more than once at a given instant. It is connected to the crankshaft via a wrist pin and connecting rod … on one end and the other end the crown is next to the valves. The top two rings are called compression rings also known as pressure rings or gas rings and their main role is to prevent gases from getting through the small clearance between the piston and cylinder wall. The piston reciprocates due to heat developed inside the engine, this motion is turned into rotary by crank shaft, it transmit the power developed in the engine that is indicated power to the flywheel, the flywheel serves as a energy reservoir, the end of crank shaft will be connected to cam shaft that is push rod and rocker arm to operate the opening and closing of inlet and exhaust valves saravanan4The main function of crank shaft is conversion of reciprocating motion into rotary motion.
Advantages are less wear, better lubrication and hence longer life. Even construction equipment like bulldozers, road rollers use internal combustion engines. The spaces between these grooves are called ring lands. The top supplying countries are China Mainland , Japan, and Malaysia, which supply 97%, 2%, and 1% of function of piston respectively. In an internal combustion engine, a burning fuel-air mixtue expands and forces the piston down, which transfers mechanical energy to the crankshaft. Animation of a piston system.
This is important to ensure that heavy machinery does not fall on workers or equipment. The springs are reloaded when the air pressure is reactivated beyond a certain threshold. What the Heck is it made up of? The main piston has a large extending downwards from the piston to what is effectively a second smaller-diameter piston. Most engines today use instead. The snout is the front end and the flange connects to the flywheel, which helps in rotating the crankshaft by working with the starter motor. The connecting or piston rod, Meanwhile, is the link between the pistons and the crankshaft.


Perhaps, one of the most popular urban legends of San Antonio, Texas, is the politically incorrectly named "Midget Mansion".
There are a few differing versions of the legend, but this one goes as follows. In the early 1920s a wealthy family of little people, a father, mother and two children, moved to San Antonio, the father having made his fortune as a businessman.
He had always resented having to live in houses that were built for normal sized people. So with his money he designed and constructed a tiny mansion for his family, designed specifically for their needs. This included shorter ceilings, tiny staircases, doorknobs that were within reach, even toilets that were designed to be lower to the ground.
It was entirely built to scale, down to the last detail. He also built several houses next to the mansion for small people that were the servants quarters, even though for some reason, he hired normal sized people as housekeepers and servants. Possibly because of the discrimination they had faced all of their lives, the midget family are said to have hated normal sized people.
They took their anger out on their servants, treating them very poorly. The servants were forced to live and work in tiny, cramped and very confined spaces that were intended only for little people. The midget family enjoyed watching their tall servants struggling to cope with their midget surroundings.
The mistreatment went on for a long time, until finally the servants snapped and plotted their revenge. This revenge was to take the form of murdering the entire family and stealing the money they felt was owed to them. They made their move on one dark night, charging inside the house and killing each and every one of the family members with an axe.
The bodies were tossed into a bedroom closet on the second floor. The servants grabbed the money and left, but not before sending the Mansion up into flames on their way out the door. Firefighters appeared on the scene shortly afterwards and managed to quench the flames, and the horrible crime was soon discovered, when they discovered the mangled and mutilated bodies of the family up in the bedroom closet.
It is said that the servants themselves were not to benefit from their crime for long, they soon became frustrated over how to split up the money, and ended up murdering each other over the same bloody money that they'd stolen from their employers in the first place.
Maybe because of its bizarre history, the property remained vacant for many years. It came to be known by locals as Midget Mansion and neighbours said that it was haunted. They heard screams and saw figures moving about inside the house even though it was vacant.
People who have visited the mansion claimed to hear strange sounds of scratching coming from inside the walls. The sounds seemed to be loudest in the bedroom closet.
For years, this mansion attracted hundreds of high school students on Halloween night daring one another to knock on the front door and provoke the unseen inhabitants into action. In some cases, owners of the Mansion actually discovered fresh scratch marks on the walls.
Locals claimed that the place was haunted by the restless spirits of the victims. Slowly but surely, offers for the house dried up and it sat empty and abandoned for a good many decades until it was finally demolished and turned into apartments, which some believe to be home to the new Promontory Pointe Apartments.


Zimbabwe's hopes of securing a quarter final berth at the on going Cricket World Cup suffered a major setback after crashing to a 139 run defeat to Sri Lanka in a Group A encounter.
After winning the toss captain Elton Chigumbura elected to field on a wicket which promised to produce many runs.
A solid opening partnership from Tilakarathne Dilshan and Upul Tharanga produced a massive 281 runs, the second highest at a World Cup.
Dilshan and Tharahnga's huge 144 and 133 run contributions guided Sri-Lanka to 327 for the loss of 6 wickets.
Chasing what seemed an almost impossible task, Zimbabwe's openers Brendon Taylor and Regis Chakabva gave Zimbabwe a reason to believe before Chakabva fell for 35 runs. Tatenda Taibu soon followed Chakabva after putting only 4 runs on the board.
Brendon Taylor who was Zimbabwe's shining light perishing on 80 runs shattering Zimbabwe's hopes of victory.
Finding it difficult to handle Muttiah Muralitharan and Tilakaratne Dilshan, Zimbabwe were eventually bowled for 188 as they crashed to a 3rd defeat which left captain Elton Chigumbura a disappointed man.
The defeat left Zimbabwe 3rd from bottom still on 2 points after 4 games and with a very slim chance of progressing to the quarter final stage.

If I go into the library view, then scroll down, every so often the entries will start from the top again, and do this about 6 or 7 times until later entries occur. We're talking about all artists from #-C or so, looping a few times. This happens in Analyze view as well.
Additionally, I will often have about 4 entries for the same song, and Mixxx does NOT like it if I change a folder name. Instead, it will add the songs from the renamed folder but with no saved BPMs, meaning that I have to add them again and delete all the files with entries from the old folder. Organising the library by location is of NO help at all in this, sadly.
Thanks for the bug report. We're currently working on a fix and it will be included in our next beta release (1.8.0 Beta 2).
Technical details: RJ fixed this in features_sqlite. This bug was likely introduced in some SQL shuffling and cleanup before the beta1 release, and was fixed in later cleanup that RJ did in features_sqlite.


Dealing another blow to the House Republican legislative agenda, a bipartisan group of senators Wednesday declared that some of the central elements of the legal reform legislation passed by the House are effectively dead on arrival in the upper chamber.
"The House bill is not particularly good," said Sen. John D. (Jay) Rockefeller IV (D-W.Va.), co-author of a far more modest tort reform bill in the Senate. "It will not pass. And if it did, it would not be signed."
That unpromising forecast for the House bill, passed last week by a 265-161 vote, comes at a time when several other key elements of the GOP agenda either have been killed or face, at best, an uncertain fate in the Senate.
The product liability-tort reform bill unveiled by Rockefeller and his co-author, Sen. Slade Gorton (R-Wash.), provides for voluntary, non-binding alternative dispute resolution procedures. In addition, the bill would limit a defendant's liability if the product user misuses or alters the product in an unforeseeable manner. And a defendant in a product liability case would be granted an absolute defense if the plaintiff were under the influence of drugs and his condition was more than 50% responsible for his injuries.
The Senate bill excludes many key House provisions, such as a "loser pays" system requiring plaintiffs to pay defendants' legal expenses in some cases, and a $250,000 cap on compensatory payments to medical malpractice victims for pain and suffering.
The Senate bill also does not contain the so-called "FDA defense," which would exempt from punitive damages makers of medical devices and drugs that have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration.
Such provisions, Rockefeller said, are "entirely unjustifiable, and I wouldn't vote for that."
The exclusions of the key House provisions all but guarantee an unlikely coalition of opponents to the Senate bill--with, for instance, doctors, drug-makers, trial lawyers and consumer groups working as allies against businesses large and small.
But that alignment is no stranger than the array of senators pushing the Rockefeller-Gorton bill, which has as its co-sponsors Democrats Joseph I. Lieberman and Christopher J. Dodd, both of Connecticut, and Republicans Orrin G. Hatch of Utah, Larry Pressler of South Dakota, Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, Kay Bailey Hutchison of Texas and James M. Inhofe of Oklahoma.
Hearings on the Senate bill are expected in about a month by Gorton's Commerce subcommittee on consumer affairs.

13-year-old Conor O'Malley has a close bond with his seriously ill mother, and maintains the household during her regular chemotherapy treatments at the hospital. Conor's grandmother often visits, and suggests that Conor live with her in the event of his mother's death. Conor is reluctant to take up this offer due to her cold personality. At school, he is regularly tormented by his classmate Harry. He is also plagued by a nightmare in which the old church near his house collapses into a hole, where someone else is in danger of plummeting and he tries to hold onto them. Conor vents his emotions by drawing, a talent inherited from his mother. One night, exactly seven minutes past midnight, he sees the large yew tree next to the church transform into a gnarled Monster that approaches his home. The Monster says that it will tell Conor three stories during their next meetings, after which Conor must tell the Monster a fourth tale in return.

Q: Load div after page load with placeholder or animation whilst loading first post here.
I'm new to php so please be nice :)
I have a div that makes various api calls for a loop. (FYI Its a table of stock market companies and I need to fetch current price for each one). Naturally this slows the page down considerably. I want to to load the rest of the page first, and have a placeholder/animation while it fetches the data (this is a bonus).
FYI, I am using bootstrap if that helps.
For example:

                                    <a href="<?php bp_group_permalink() ?>"><?php bp_group_avatar( 'type=thumb&width=40&height=40' ) ?>

<a href="<?php bp_group_permalink() ?>"><?php bp_group_name() ?>

                                            <?php $groupid = bp_get_group_id(); ?>
                                            <?php echo get_totoal_avg_critix($groupid); ?>%

                                        <?php
                                        $group_id = bp_get_group_id();
                                        $setting = groups_get_groupmeta( $group_id, 'incao_info_tab_meta' );
                                        ?>
                                        <?php if(isset($setting['incao_trading_url']) && !empty($setting['incao_trading_url']) && !empty($setting['incao_ico_price'])){ ?>
                                                <?php
                                                $cmc_id = $setting['incao_trading_url'];
                                                $phi = 'https://api.coinmarketcap.com/v2/ticker/'.$cmc_id.'/';
                                                $current_price = shell_exec('curl -s "'.$phi.'" | egrep -i price | cut -d : -f2 ');
                                                $ico_price = $setting['incao_ico_price'];
                                                $ico_roi = $current_price / $ico_price; ?>
                                                    <?php if ($ico_roi > 1) { ?>

<?php //echo (round($ico_roi,1)); ?>X

                                                    <?php } else { ?>

<?php //echo (round($ico_roi,1)); ?>X

                                                    <?php }
                                         } else {?>

--

                                        <?php } ?>

                        <?php endwhile; ?>

Thanks guys!

UPDATE - I have posted the entire code. Not sure if it is the best way of doing it but it works http://cryptocritix.com if you want to see it... its the "ICOS RECENTLY TRADING" DIV
jquery, bootstrap is loaded already

A: if you want the api call to be executed after page load, you will need AJAX. PHP is a preprocessor script and runs ON page load.
So you could show a loading animation which will be replaced as soon as the api request data is received.
This could help you in the right direction:

$(document).ready(function() {
  $.ajax({
    url: url,
    success: function(data) {
      $('.load-after-page-load-with-spinnning-animation').html(data.price);
    }
  });
});
.loading {
  width: 60px;
  height: 60px;
  border-top-color: #0060a1;
  border-top-style: solid;
  border-top-width: 3px;
  border-radius: 50%;
  -webkit-animation: spin 1s linear infinite;
  animation: spin 1s linear infinite;
}

@-webkit-keyframes spin {
  0% {
    -webkit-transform: rotate(0deg);
  }
  100% {
    -webkit-transform: rotate(360deg);
  }
}

@keyframes spin {
  0% {
    transform: rotate(0deg);
  }
  100% {
    transform: rotate(360deg);
  }
}

A: I think this would work, but notice my inline comments as it reveals some PHP variabels which may be not what you want. If that is the case, you will need a different approach. Let me know if this gives any results. If not, you can check the browser console if the Javascript prints any errors ;)
Also, you may want to move the CSS to your stylesheet, I wouldn't recommend to move the Javascript because now it is only loaded when if (isset($setting['incao_trading_url']) && !empty($setting['incao_trading_url']) && !empty($setting['incao_ico_price'])) returns true.

      <a href="<?php bp_group_permalink(); ?>"><?php bp_group_avatar( 'type=thumb&width=40&height=40' ); ?>

        <a href="<?php bp_group_permalink(); ?>"><?php bp_group_name(); ?>

I've been practicing a minimal wardrobe capsule when it comes to clothes for myself for years. My husband and I SHARE a 3-foot wide closet and still have plenty of room to spare. I'm pretty proud of myself – I currently have just one pair of jeans. Anyways, now that I have a baby girl, it's going to be a real struggle for me to not want to spend all my money on clothes for her. I can't get over the cute clothes that are out there on the internet. The internet is a dangerous place when it comes to baby clothes.
But, I am going to be strong and also do a mini capsule wardrobe for Lulu, who is now 3 months old. This fall/winter I bought clothes for her from Zara Mini. Adorable, good quality, and affordable. Here's what I bought for her capsule this season (all 3-6 mo. size).
I also have some basic white Gerber onesies, leggings, and tights to complete her outfit each day. And of course other outfits that were given to her, but this is her main wardrobe. Today she is wearing the Clouds and Stars dress and the pink leggings. The dress is super soft and she loves it. Just kidding, she has no preference for clothes and hates when I dress her. Let's face it, she's my doll that I dress her up for my own amusement. I've had this wardrobe for her for about a month, so she's worn everything once or twice now. But to be real, when at home, she's usually just wearing a onesie and some tights. I have to remind myself that at this age, they really don't need a lot of clothes because she's usually tucked inside my Moby wrap anyways.
But, if you have a little girl like I do, it's likely you love shopping and dressing her up in darling outfits too, so I've rounded up cute clothes from around the web so you can pin your heart out. There's a little bit from all price points, starting with Cat and Jack for Target. All items are sized 0-6 months. And if you practice minimal capsule wardrobes for yourself and your kids please share!

Bruce covered the song only once in 1993, apparently played in a spur of the moment, Requested by someone shouting in the audience.
Don Von Tress wrote the song in 1990. The song was initially to be recorded by The Oak Ridge Boys in the early 1990s but the group decided against recording it after lead singer Duane Allen said that he did not like the words "achy breaky". It was then recorded in 1991 under the title "Don't Tell My Heart" by The Marcy Brothers, although their version changed some lyrics. Billy Ray Cyrus heard Von Tress's version of the song, and chose to include it on his debut album Some Gave All in 1992. The song is Cyrus' debut single and signature song, it made him famous and has been his most successful song.
someone : "Achy Breaky Heart!" (laughs) Like that song....that's, that's like telepathic "cause I was thinking of doing the song ....laying in bed the other night....I said "What would really bend everybody's minds.....Achy Breaky Heart'..."

BEEZLEY HILLS AND MOSES COULEE
Curator: Dan Stephens
BEEZLEY HILLS AND MOSES COULEE Cancel reply
by Andy Stepniewski and Dan Stephens
revised by Andy Stepniewski and Dan Stephens
Across the Columbia River east of Wenatchee, a complex of ridges and coulees marks the transition between two broad, nearly level plateaus: the Potholes country on the south (elevation 1,100–1,300 feet) and the much higher Waterville Plateau to the north (elevation 2,300–2,600 feet). Moses Coulee, a deep gash incised by ice-age floods, skirts the edges of the higher plateau. The southern boundary of this area is defined by Lynch Coulee and the modest Beezley Hills. Rugged Badger Mountain lies to the west. The basalt cliffs and side canyons of Moses Coulee are populated by species such as Chukar, Golden Eagle, White-throated Swift, and Rock Wren. Some of the state's best shrub-steppe can be found on the coulee floor and in the Beezley Hills—home to Loggerhead Shrike, Mountain Bluebird, and Sagebrush Sparrow. There is dry montane forest (Badger Mountain) and fine riparian habitat for residents and migrants (especially along Douglas Creek). All of this plus a few ponds, lakes, and the deepwater Columbia River reservoir behind Rock Island Dam adds up to a series of habitats where it is easy to find 100 species of birds in a day during the breeding season. The sites have been described in such a way that you can readily link a selection of them into a loop starting from and returning to Ephrata or Wenatchee. Overall, early May offers the best birding, although March is better for waterfowl along the Columbia.
BEEZLEY HILLS
The Nature Conservancy's Beezley Hills Preserve (about 5,000 acres) shows off some of Washington's most pristine shrub-steppe habitat. Coming from the south, the most convenient approach is by turning north from SR-28 onto Road P NW (aka Columbia Way or Monument Hill Road), 0.8 mile east of the junction with SR-281 in Quincy. The road climbs steadily to a junction (7.1 miles). Turn left (west) onto a short spur and drive 0.1 mile to communication towers atop Monument Hill at 2,882 feet elevation. There are no facilities. Be careful; the gravel road can be slick if muddy or snowy. Directly across from the spur, wildflowers and Hedgehog Cactus, can be great in May.
Ice-age winds, by shifting and redepositing fine soils, played an important role in the development of the mosaic of shrub-steppe plant communities found on these slopes and ravines. The many south slopes with thin or rocky soil (lithosol) have a dazzling wildflower display in April and May. Horned Lark (common) and Mountain Bluebird are present in this habitat. Look for Loggerhead Shrike and Sagebrush Sparrow in deeper-soiled ravines below the summit where shrub cover is greater. In March and April and again from August through mid-October the top of Monument Hill makes a fine vantage to view migrating raptors.
To reach nearby north-facing habitats, with different birds, return to Monument Hill Road and drive left (east) along the ridgetop to a junction (2.1 miles). Pull over to the side of lightly-traveled Monument Hill Road and walk up the road to the right a couple of hundred yards. Relatively deep soils support a healthy growth of Big and Three-tip Sagebrush interspersed with Bluebunch Wheatgrass and a host of other interesting grasses and flowering plants. Common breeding birds here include Sage Thrasher, Brewer's Sparrow (areas of sagebrush and grasslands), and Vesper Sparrow (tracts of denser grasslands). Grasshopper Sparrow is uncommon and Western Meadowlark ubiquitous. From late March through April, keep a watch on the sky for migrating Sandhill Cranes—hundreds, even thousands exploit the thermals on these hills.
Back at Monument Hill Road, turn right and continue east a short distance; the road curves north and is now called Road L NW. At the first intersection with a stop sign, you have reached Baird Springs Road, though there is no road sign (1.1 miles). Ephrata (SR-28) is 9.7 miles east from this junction. There is some excellent sagebrush birding as you continue down this road to Ephrata. Westbound, Baird Springs Road descends Lynch Coulee beside an intermittent stream to join SR-28 seven miles west of Quincy. Birding can be rewarding along this route in shrub-steppe habitats and in riparian growth at springs and other wet spots at the edges of the deeply eroded streambed—especially in migration.
MOSES COULEE
Moses Coulee—a giant, basalt-lined, ice-age flood channel—slices southwestward some 40 miles from the high plateau near Mansfield down to the Columbia River. Cliffs provide excellent habitat for Chukar, Golden Eagle, Canyon Wren, and other rock-loving species. The broad coulee bottom— now mostly converted to hay farming—hosts many raptors, including the breeding species plus Rough-legged Hawk and Gyrfalcon (rare) in winter. Characteristic shrub-steppe birds can still be found in remnant parcels of habitat ranging in size from small pockets to large expanses.
Not far from the mouth of Moses Coulee, several waterbird sites in and near the small community of Rock Island are worth a visit. Rock Island Drive turns north from SR-28 about 12 miles east of the junction with US-2/US-97 in East Wenatchee (see inset map). A large truck stop is on the left just after the turn. Follow the main road into downtown Rock Island, staying with it as it turns left; in three or four blocks, turn right onto N Garden Avenue, across from the grocery store (0.3 mile). Drive to the end of this road (0.4 mile) and park at Hideaway Lake, an excellent waterfowl spot from November to April, when up to 20 species can been seen at one time (including Eurasian Wigeon most winters). A good location for setting up a scope is a few feet to the right along the trail that goes around the lake. Check trees near the water's edge for roosting Northern Saw-whet Owls in winter.
Return to SR-28 and turn left. Several more ponds beside the highway over the next mile are good for swans (early spring), other waterfowl, and gulls. Pull off to the right at the mouth of Rock Island Creek (2.1 miles from Rock Island Drive). Just across the railroad tracks are wetlands that once attracted a Snowy Egret. Rock Island Reservoir, visible from here, has many waterfowl in winter, including Greater Scaup. Deeper waters of the reservoir can be seen from the road to the dam, Rock Island Dam Road (0.3 mile farther along SR-28).
Continuing another 3.9 miles south along SR-28, Palisades Road turns off left and enters the lower end of Moses Coulee. Cliffs over the next several miles are especially attractive to Golden Eagle and Prairie Falcon—there is a safe pullout for scanning on the left in 1.5 miles. Other birds common along the coulee are Chukar and Lark Sparrow. An obscure gravel lane on the right (about nine miles from SR-28) leads to a trailhead parking lot for Hungate Canyon (BLM). A rough hike across sagebrush into a narrow side canyon with a tiny stream flanked by clumps of Water Birch and willow may reward you with Rock and Canyon Wrens and Lazuli Bunting.
Farther along Palisades Road, in 5.3 miles you come to the south access for Douglas Creek (turn left), especially known for its spring wildflowers but also for birds of the riparian zone and cliffs. The road is blocked by a cave-in in the lower part of the canyon, but you can walk the rest of the way in or drive around to the north access (next page); the approach from the north is the best way to explore Douglas Creek at this time. Birding possibilities are similar in both parts. Back on Palisades Road, another parking area and trail through shrub-steppe and along the base of cliffs is found on the right in 4.5 miles.
Palisades changes names and continues to an intersection in 5.0 miles. The intersecting road, which goes north to join US-2 in about 11 miles (or south and east to Ephrata in about 12 miles), is variously called Sagebrush Flat(s) Road, Road J NW, B-SE Road, Rim Rock Road, Moses Coulee Road SE, and Coulee Meadows Road—depending on which signs or maps you happen to be consulting. Turn left (north). Off to your right is Sagebrush Flat, managed by WDFW primarily for endangered Pygmy Rabbits. The disjunct Washington population of this Great Basin species was virtually extirpated due to widespread conversion to agriculture of the deep, loose soils it requires for burrows, and the concomitant removal of sagebrush (the main component of its diet). But a reintroduction effort at Sagebrush Flat has shown some success.
Proceed north 1.8 miles to a dirt track going off to the right in Rimrock Estates. Walk this area of Big Sagebrush to find Sage Thrasher and Brewer's and Sagebrush Sparrow. Mountain Bluebirds are also common here, thanks to numerous nest boxes. Continue north on the main road and descend into Moses Coulee. Cliffs in 6.1 miles are good for White-throated Swift and Canyon Wren. Reach US-2 in 3.2 miles.
Go right (east) 1.1 miles on US-2 to Jameson Lake Road and turn left. The road goes north on the floor of Moses Coulee, dead-ending in about seven miles at the south end of Jameson Lake. Significant (22,400 acres) parcels of the shrub-steppe ecosystem here and at nearby McCartney Creek are protected by The Nature Conservancy. Cliffs and talus line the route, home to Chukar, Red-tailed Hawk, Golden Eagle, White-throated Swift, American Kestrel, Prairie Falcon, and Rock and Canyon Wrens. Look for Mountain Bluebird (in boxes) and Sagebrush Sparrow, particularly in the first two miles.
At 3.9 miles from US-2, park at a trailhead on the left for Dutch Henry Draw. This interesting 15-minute walk brings you to the base of the cliffs and a dry waterfall, passing through brushy terrain that is good for Common Poorwill and Lazuli Bunting. As one continues toward Jameson Lake, the embankments by the road are actually giant ripple marks laid down by ice-age floods. Shrub-steppe habitat here has more native bunchgrasses than along the first part of the road, and hosts Sage Thrasher and Brewer's and Vesper Sparrows. The lake has been growing for the last few decades, making for some productive wetlands. Numerous waterfowl breed here, including all three teal species, Barrow's Goldeneye, and Ruddy Duck. Look also for Pied-billed and Eared Grebes and a colony of California Gulls. A small group of Franklin's Gulls has been seen here.
DOUGLAS CREEK
For the north approach to Douglas Creek, turn south from US-2 onto Road H SW (Stotts Road). The intersection is about 13 miles west of Jameson Lake Road and eight miles east of Waterville. Proceed south, watching for Short-eared Owl and Loggerhead Shrike along the way. This county road eventually descends Slack Canyon, reaching Douglas Creek in about eight miles. Turn right here, drive a short distance, and park by the binocular sign at a locked gate. You may walk up this unroaded part of the canyon for about eight miles for a true wilderness experience.
More of Douglas Creek can be explored by returning to the main gravel road and going downstream for about a mile. Several primitive campsites are off to the side of the road. Park at the third campsite—the center of the Douglas Creek bird-banding station. Over 100 species of birds have been seen in this section of the canyon. Common breeding species include Chukar, Red-tailed Hawk, Common Poorwill, American Kestrel, Western Wood-Pewee, Eastern Kingbird, Cliff Swallow, Rock and Canyon Wrens, Cedar Waxwing, Yellow-breasted Chat, Lark Sparrow, Black-headed Grosbeak, and Lazuli Bunting. During migration the canyon is jumping with most of the common transient flycatchers, vireos, warblers, and sparrows. Interesting passage species, among them a few rarities, are Least and Gray Flycatchers, Cassin's Vireo, Veery, Hermit Thrush, Black-and-white, Nashville, and Townsend's Warblers, Northern Waterthrush, American Redstart, Wilson's Warbler, and Lincoln's and Golden-crowned Sparrows. The county road is closed south of here due to a cave-in; if and when it reopens, you will again be able to drive down the rest of the canyon to join Palisades Road in Moses Coulee. In the meantime, you can walk.
BADGER MOUNTAIN
Badger Mountain lies between the Columbia River and Moses Coulee, northeast of Wenatchee. Its upper elevations support the most extensive conifer forest in the western Columbia Basin. Badger Mountain Road goes up and over this large ridge system to Waterville in about 25 miles. In East Wenatchee, turn east from SR-28 onto Grant Road (first intersection south of the SR-285 bridge), then left (north) in one long block onto Eastmont Avenue, which becomes Badger Mountain Road as it leaves town and begins climbing. Look for bluebirds at lower elevations and for Spotted Towhee, Chipping Sparrow, and Cassin's Finch higher up, in brushy terrain on south-facing slopes. The road crosses the crest in about six miles, then remains at an elevation of 3,000–3,500 feet as it contours along the southeast face of Badger Mountain until reaching a ski area about 20 miles from East Wenatchee. Along the way, stop in several places in the Ponderosa Pine and Douglas-fir forest to look and listen for Hairy Woodpecker, Dusky Flycatcher, Cassin's Vireo, White-breasted Nuthatch, Swainson's Thrush, and Western Tanager. Northern Goshawk has been seen here in May. Take the main road (now called Baseline Road) east from the ski area for two-plus miles, then turn north on Road O NW (also called Waterville Road) and drive another 2.5 miles to US-2 in Waterville. If you are driving this route in reverse from Waterville, go south from US-2 a block south of the Catholic church onto S Chelan Avenue, which becomes Road O NW/Waterville Road upon leaving town.

Briana McLaurin: Round a Melody
5 August - 2 September 2021
Briana McLaurin
From both Outside and Inside, 2020
A conversation between Thierry Goldberg Gallery and Briana McLaurin
Thierry Goldberg: The subjects in your paintings carry a sense of authority – most of them are looking straight ahead, gazing back at the viewer. Who do you choose to paint and why? What factors do you consider when deciding how to portray them? Briana McLaurin: One of the key factors that I always consider when deciding who and what to paint is the idea of relation. My work celebrates African American presence. The goal is for viewers to see my paintings and instantly feel some sort of connection. I paint portraits of my family members, pushing this idea of relation a step further. Gaze is another factor that I think about a lot in my work. I think there is a sense of bravery and strength when someone can just stare into another person's eyes, unblinking with their heads held high. That sense of boldness is something that I like to portray in my work. Also, there is an unspoken communication that I tend to convey through the gaze, as if the subjects were talking to the viewers with their eyes. What they are saying is left to be interpreted by viewers themselves.
TG: Many of your works depict interior, domestic settings, filled with personal objects that reference family or home life. Could you talk about the significance of these objects and settings?
BM: There is a point in my paintings where I mostly stay true to the multiple reference photos that I work from. Then, about halfway through, I'll recreate the setting completely. This could either be by adding more space to a room, or including random objects and people in an image. It gives me a sense of freedom and authority in my process, allowing me to acknowledge that in the end, I am the artist and I get to decide what everything looks like. For example, in Self Portrait (2020), the fridge in the background is inspired by my actual fridge at home. Unlike in the painting, however, it is completely blank. There are no magnets or photos adorning the sides of it. I include personal objects like these in order to give viewers insight into the figures that I am portraying. For a while, I thought of myself as strictly a portrait artist. It wasn't until I began adding these personal objects and recreating these settings as symbols of my home life that I realized that there are other ways to depict a person without solely focusing on painting them.
TG: In Round a Memory (The Artists) (2021), Round a Melody (2021), and Round a Harmony (2021), we find one moment unfolding in a series. Similarly, From Outside (2020), From Inside (2020), and From both Outside and Inside (2020) capture the same scene from three different angles. What role does perspective play in your practice?
BM: Perspective plays a huge role in my practice. It helps me tell whatever story I am painting by coinciding with both time and setting. In Round a Memory (The Artists) (2021), Round a Melody (2021), and Round a Harmony (2021), perspective is highlighted more-so through time. These pieces (which were part of a series called How It Started…) are the prequel to a much larger endeavor. They were inspired by a DIY photoshoot that my family conducted in our unfinished basement. The subjects depicted are my sisters and the paintings themselves serve as the prelude to their much-anticipated, successful careers in the beauty industry. The goal of this series is to one day look back at them and reflect on the beginning of their success. It is the first part of a two-part series; the second part will come in ten years to show "how it's going." Meanwhile, From Outside (2020), From Inside (2020),and From both Outside and Inside (2020) depict my mother and my twin sister, each casually sitting at a table. The shift in perspective helps build the setting and the scene. There is an unspoken tension that prompts viewers to guess what is going on between the figures in this exact moment.
TG: There is a vivid warmth that can be felt throughout your latest works. Your subjects' faces are highlighted by shades of orange, yellow, and red, with undertones of purple, green, and blue, while the more close-up portraits reveal the movements and gestures of each brushstroke. How did you arrive at this highly saturated color palette?
BM: Color is one of my favorite aspects of painting. It is where I take the most creative liberties. Before I start a painting, I will spend about thirty minutes or so staring at the face that I am depicting. During this time, I will make a list of every single color that I see in the skin. Then, I decide which colors will go where and which colors will stand out. My palette contains all of my favorite colors: Yellow Ochres, Cerulean Blues, and Naphthol Reds. Honestly, whatever color I am obsessed with or in the mood to see at the moment, is the color that will be the most present in my work. There is also a certain rhythm that I aim for in the faces of my subjects which consists of an almost melodic line-work intended to captivate the viewers' eyes. This is where the brushstrokes come into play, each one revealing the direction of the subjects' skin.
TG: Presidential Election (2019) stands apart from the rest of your work in terms of its overtly political and/or allegorical nature. The painting depicts a wide range of characters, from Martin Luther King Jr. to a figure wearing a MAGA hat. Could you talk about the process of creating this piece?
BM: Presidential Election (2019) was the first piece where I was focusing on something more than just the main subject. It was included in a group exhibition called Visions for the Future at Mason Gross Gallery. The premise of this piece is to prompt viewers to not only acknowledge the brave activists of our past, like Martin Luther King Jr., or open our eyes to the frightening brutality of our present, but to refine our understanding of what African Americans are capable of - like a black woman becoming the president of the United States. With this painting, I wanted viewers to step closer and really study what was going on in the scene; to see something that they might have missed upon first glance. For example, the lady to the left of the main figure is based off of Rosa Parks' mug shot, another symbol of our history. The person in the center who appears to be wearing a MAGA hat is actually wearing a red hat that reads, "Make America Great 4 Once," a rebuttal to the idea that America has already been its greatest self. The hooded figure next to Martin Luther King Jr. with a single tear falling down his face represents Trayvon Martin. He stands beside a black man with a gunshot wound on his chest. I imagined them staring at viewers, demanding their gaze, and unveiling the prejudiced forces in America that continue to target and kill our community. As I was working on this piece, my goal was to capture and highlight the Black Experience, an experience that contains joy, lightness, and celebration while also enduring hardships, darkness, and challenges. I wanted there to be resistance, possibility, and hope.

Q: How to add except in an initializer? I am using strong_parameters gem in my rails project. To apply that to all the models i have created an initializer and put the below code.
 ActiveRecord::Base.send(:include, ActiveModel::ForbiddenAttributesProtection)

Now i don't want to apply it for a model called votes. please help me to exclude that model?

A: I would suggest you include the module for every model you want. What you are doing is monkey-patching ActiveRecord which is not a good idea.
UPDATE
Here is a solution where you can include ActiveModel::ForbiddenAttributesProtection only for models you like. Put the code in an initializer.
all_models = Dir["#{Rails.root}/app/models/**/*.rb"].map do |filename|
  filename[/(?<=models\/).*(?=\.rb)/].camelize.constantize
end

models_without_forbidden_attributes_protection = [Foo] # put your filtered classes here

all_models.each do |model|
  unless models_without_forbidden_attributes_protection.include?(model)
    model.send(:include, ActiveModel::ForbiddenAttributesProtection)
  end
end


A dozen U.S. residents who had operations in Tijuana returned with a rare and potentially deadly strain of bacteria resistant to antibiotics, federal health officials say.
Nearly four months later, the Arkansas woman is one of at least a dozen U.S. residents who returned from surgeries in Tijuana with a rare and potentially deadly strain of bacteria resistant to virtually all antibiotics, say federal health officials. Some in the group recovered, but Capone, 40, remains seriously ill despite being treated with a barrage of drugs.

There is little data about infectious diseases related to medical tourism.
But the CDC has documented several outbreaks, including severe skin infections among dozens of patients who had cosmetic surgery in the Dominican Republic in 2013 and 2017. Several of the infections were drug-resistant. In 2014, five New York residents contracted Q fever, a flulike illness caused by a bacteria found in goats, sheep and cows, after getting injections of fetal sheep cells in Germany.
The World Health Organization considers the superbug that infects Capone – carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa – one of its three highest priorities for new antibiotics.

(Trinidad Express) A Florida man is accused of killing of his ex-girlfriend, Trinidad-born Jenny Koonoolai-Jagdeo, and another man.
Their bodies were found Thursday morning in an apartment in Miami.
The suspect, Thales Ferreira, 27, faces two counts of first-degree murder.
According to news reports, Miami-Dade police were called to the apartment after being informed about a man's body near the front door.
The dead man was identifed as 26-year-old Michael Tarulli.
In the apartment was the body of Jenny Koonoolai-Jagdeo, 32.
Both had been shot multiple times, authorities said.
A neighbour reported hearing at least ten gunshots.
According to police, they were called to the same apartment late Wednesday night regarding a suspicious person banging on the front door.
Koonoolai-Jagdeo told officers that her ex-boyfriend, the suspect, had been stalking her. Police were provided with a description of the boyfriend.
Police said Ferreira was arrested Thursday night while trying to board a flight to Brazil.

Q: Invalid Argument in Open method for web scraping I am trying to scrape some data from the ancestry, I have a .net background but thought i'd try a bit of python for a project.
I'm falling at the first step, Firstly i am trying to open this page and then just print out the rows.
from requests import get
from requests.exceptions import RequestException
from contextlib import closing
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

raw_html = open('https://www.ancestry.co.uk/search/collections/britisharmyservice/?
birth=_merthyr+tydfil-wales-united+kingdom_1651442').read()
html = BeautifulSoup(raw_html, 'html.parser')
for p in html.select('tblrow record'):
    print(p)

I am getting an illegal argument on open.

A: According to documentation, open is used to:

Open [a] file and return a corresponding file object.

As such, you cannot use it for downloading the HTML contents of a webpage. You probably meant to use requests.get as follows:
raw_html = get('https://www.ancestry.co.uk/search/collections/britisharmyservice/?
birth=_merthyr+tydfil-wales-united+kingdom_1651442').text
# .text gets the raw text of the response
# (http://docs.python-requests.org/en/master/api/#requests.Response.text)

Here are a few recommendation to improve your code as well:

*

*requests.get provides many useful parameters, one of them being params, which allows you to provide the URL parameters in the form of a Python dictionary.

*If you need to verify whether the request was successful before accessing its text, then just check if the returned response.status_code == requests.codes.ok. This only covers status code 200, but if you need more codes, then response.raise_for_status should be helpful.

Bringing Change to the Political Arena
In his article #Thinking Allowed in the Gibraltar Chronicle of 31st December 2018, James Neish makes a valuable point; this year will bring a welcome and added dimension to Brexit, with a General Election in Gibraltar.
As foreign affairs once again take pride of place at the cost of our domestic development, people feel that there is a need for a fresh approach and are looking for a party in whom they can place their trust.
James describes the difficulties Brexit and the precarious state of our finances will bring in the years to come with a metaphor about the Three Kings Cavalcade and its ׳straightforward route' in contrast to the labyrinth of complexities and challenges that Brexit and our finances will undoubtedly bring in the next couple of years. Gibraltar cannot afford to wait for people bearing gifts and instead we need to effectively prepare both our economy and our society for our future. This is what makes the next General Election all the more significant.
Later in his article, James looks to the past in his reference to Marlene Hassan Nahon and her Together Gibraltar party looking to buck the trend of a new third party. While his comparison to the PDP and other failures of third parties are understandable, they miss several important points.
Historically, the fall and collapse of established parties giving way to a new, dynamic party connected to its people has been a matter of timing.
The GSLP's accession to power for the first time in 1988 marked a new era in Gibraltar politics largely enabled by the retirement of the longstanding leader of Gibraltar, Sir Joshua Hassan and the subsequent collapse of his party, the AACR. Similarly, the GSD's failure to secure a fifth term in government in 2011 led to the departure of another political behemoth, Sir Peter Caruana which as is evident, has to this day left the party struggling to create a new identity, unity and leadership. The PDP's attempts to make inroads occurred in the midst of Sir Peter's dominance and with strong GSLP opposition. The timing was all wrong. The two principal big cheeses were still very much in the zenith of their political power and there was simply no space or appetite for a third entity.
As Fabian Picardo prepares himself in the next few years for his own departure from the political arena, the questions to pose should be 'Will there be a credible substitute in the GSLP?' and if not, 'Which party can Gibraltarians place their faith in?'
Together Gibraltar believes that the new energy we are bringing to the political arena brings a much needed fresh approach. We believe each one of us is much more representative of the electorate than the narrow spectrum of lawyers presented by other parties with limited civic experience outside their spheres of work. We understand the everyday grievances of the people and we also feel the frustrations of those at the harsh end of social injustices. We know what it is like for people's expressions of concern to be met by brick walls. Together Gibraltar has been listening since its grass roots beginnings, ensuring that every Gibraltarian has a voice at a time when people feel they do not have one and are being sacrificed for a favoured few. The cries for greater transparency and more accountability are ringing louder by the day. As a response to this call for change through grass roots activism, Marlene Hassan Nahon formed the Together Gibraltar Party and my colleagues and I stand at her shoulder. These are the principal reasons why I joined Together Gibraltar.
The strength of a party's leader cannot be underestimated in local politics. In the last election, Marlene achieved the second highest number of votes within the opposition (narrowly behind the then GSD leader). Marlene also ran GSLP candidate, Albert Isola, very close at the 2013 by-election where the differential was a mere 700 votes, at the height of the GSLP's political honeymoon. Marlene's integrity and her ability to unite people and to employ progressive and fair, ethics-led politics provides the party with the backbone upon which our policies will be built. Her competence, honesty and ability to listen make her a very plausible future Chief Minister of Gibraltar.
A REAL ALTERNATIVE
We exist as a viable alternative to what both parties currently stand for. Together Gibraltar is offering a real departure from tribal politics and is looking to give everyone a voice providing a platform where people can be listened to, at a time when people are searching for something different.
The GSLP/Liberals and the GSD are not century-old establishments with deeply rooted traditions as seen in other European countries. One of Gibraltar's admirable strengths in our young and rapidly advancing democracy is our ability to adapt to political change as well as our ability to embrace the new.
A recent poll in the Panorama, 2nd January, reflects a community that is growing tired of the current state of affairs and is looking for a credible alternative. It is important to emphasize that the poll was conducted only days after Together Gibraltar was formed, displaying the party's considerable traction in an extremely short space of time (Together Gibraltar 19%, GSD 25%, GSLP/Liberals 56%). Only eight months ago, even before the party's formation, leader Marlene Hassan Nahon was polling at 10% and has almost doubled the project's appeal in under a year. Conversely, the GSD and the GSLP are both on the decline since the last poll.
Together Gibraltar understands the challenges and responsibilities involved in loyally representing the community, as we prepare to stand at the forthcoming General Election. We also believe that the people are beginning to understand who is actually listening. As James Neish states in his article, "In politics, anything can happen."

EUROBOND Diverted To Sette Debt...IFS Report Backs Bawumia�s Claim
/ Economy, Business
The Institute of Fiscal Studies (IFS), an economic policy think-tank, has backed Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia and the NPP Minority in parliament on their claim late last year that the 1billion dollar Eurobond proceeds had been diverted into settling the Government's debt at the Bank of Ghana.
An analysis of the Ministry of Finance's own Fiscal Accounts by the Institute showed that the Government retired part of its indebtedness to the Bank of Ghana in September 2014, using the proceeds from the Eurobonds.
The latest revelation which vindicates the NPP Vice-Presidential candidate, who first claimed the Eurobonds had been diverted to settle debts owed by government is contained in a 41-paged paper prepared by the institute, titled "Ghana: A Review of the 2015 Budget"
In section 4.11 which deals with the utilization of the Eurobbonds, the Institute states "Quite clearly, the proceeds of the bond are to be used to invest in government projects and to partly retire outstanding short-term domestic debt. While the Ministry of Finance issued a press statement explaining that the government was using the US$1.0 billion Eurobond money judiciously, there is an allegation that the money has been used to pay debts owed to the Central Bank, and this allegation appears to be true judging from the manner in which the Bank of Ghana financed the budget deficits during the third quarter of 2014."
The institute further stated "The Bank provided deficit financing of GH¢2,721.4 million in quarter one (Q1), GH¢629, 6 million in Q2, and GH¢1,998.1 million in July and August, bringing the total of the Bank's financing of the deficit between January and August 2014 to GH¢5,349.1 million. In September, the Bank of Ghana received payment amounting to GH¢2,998.6 million out of the total of GH¢3,289 million the government borrowed from abroad to partly pay the debt owed to it. Of the total GH¢3,289 million borrowed from abroad, GH¢3,161.9, reflecting over 83 percent, was the Eurobond proceeds. Clearly, the GH¢2,998.6 million paid to the Bank was most likely the Eurobond proceeds less the transaction costs."
Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, Vice-Presidential candidate of the NPP was first to raise issues with the use of the Eurobond proceeds. While commenting on the 2015 Budget on November 22nd in London, Dr. Bawumia stated "In the prospectus that sought to convince investors, the Minister of Finance indicated that a substantial portion of the amount borrowed would be used for infrastructure development and critical projects. What projects did the Minister of Finance have in mind? The Minister should list and provide a detailed plan of what projects he has in mind. We are reliably informed that the amount raised has been used to reduce Government's indebtedness at the Central Bank and that the funds are not available anymore for the purpose for which it was raised. This is sad and raises a whole lot of credibility issues."
Dr. Bawumia further challenged the government and Bank of Ghana to speak on the matter and clear the issue.
He explained that under the Bank of Ghana Act, the bank could not extend credit to government in excess of 10% of government revenue in the year. "The sovereign bond has been used to bring government within this limit. It is therefore not available for capital expenditure unless the law is violated".
These statements of Dr. Bawumia were as usual met with a ton of responses from various Government spokespersons and Ministers at the Finance Ministry who claimed the former Deputy Governor of the Bank of Ghana did not know what he was talking about while providing conflicting answers to the core issue of where the money was.
First, the Government explained that: "The proceeds from the Eurobond issue are being used for the intended purposes as listed in the prospectus, and that was: (1) To fund the investment infrastructure fund, and (2) To pay for infrastructure development that the government has prioritised. And that is what is going to happen…some of them have begun, The Kasoa bypass is one: that is about 37 percent complete now. The Kwame Nkrumah Interchange…that is about 62 percent complete. The polo grounds bypass, about 92 percent; Ayamfuri…road, 36 percent of that has already been done"
The Minister of Finance further muddied the waters by stating that some $800 million of the funds were sitting intact in a Bank Account in New York. Furthermore, some in Government claimed that the Eurobond proceeds arrived too late to be accounted for in the 2015 budget and that it would be accounted for only when the proceeds had been fully used.
The latest revelation by the IFS seems to have put to sleep the doubts about what really the Eurobond was used for and brings into focus the new dimension of what would be left of government's credibility especially on the international market, after it had listed various projects in the prospectus used to raise the Eurobonds, as projects on which the Eurobond proceeds would be used.

Tottenham Hotspur's Brazil forward Lucas Moura struck a superb hat-trick in a 4-0 win over relegated Huddersfield Town on Saturday to bolster the home side's hopes of a top-four finish in the English Premier League.
Spurs were without the injured Harry Kane and Dele Alli, but Moura's treble after an early Victor Wanyama goal were just reward for a dominant display against the bottom side.
Tottenham made seven changes from the side that beat Manchester City 1-0 at home in the Champions League in midweek, with an eye on the quarter-final, second leg on Wednesday.
Three minutes later, the hosts scored again thanks to a fierce right-foot drive by Moura that flew underneath Hamer after the excellent Moussa Sissoko set him up on the break.
Spurs' Fernando Llorente hit the bar after half-time and Huddersfield's Juninho Bacuna had a late free-kick tipped on to the bar before Christian Eriksen hit the post on the counter.

Calls for a gender lens across COVID-19 response and recovery grow louder
Newsletter, August 2020
As I write from my home office in Melbourne today the skies are blue and the sun is shining. We're half-way through Stage 4 lockdown and today's virus cases while still of great concern are the lowest in Victoria for over a month.
Finding the joy in challenging times has become a national sport during the pandemic and it's one I'm happy to train for daily! Despite the incomparable times we are living in, there are so many uplifting stories of kindness, generosity, community connection and care.
If there is a silver lining for our Network it is that after a decade of advocating for an intentional, strategic focus on women and girls in philanthropic funding, COVID-19 is starkly highlighting the critical importance of this gender lens approach and the dangers of failing to be clear-sighted!
The evidence is clear. We have seen highly gendered impacts in job losses for women, increased risk through exposure to the virus in our highly feminised healthcare workforce, and the disproportionate burden on women at home, supporting children in remote learning. Indeed it has the current healthcare crisis has been described as a gender disaster particularly in the absence of job stimulus initiatives targeted at women.
We know that disasters exacerbate existing vulnerabilities and inequalities. Of great concern is the impact of the pandemic on the already shameful rates of domestic and family violence. Yesterday, on the six month anniversary of the shocking murder of Hannah Clarke and her three children, Our Watch Chair, Natasha Stott Despoja delivered a powerful address to the National Press Club. I urge you to take the time to view or listen via the link below.
To Natasha, and each and everyone in our broad community of supporters who are working in their own way to improve the lives of women and girls – and through this the strength of our society – thank you so much. This challenging and difficult work is crucial to ensuring we achieve greater gender equality and recover and strengthen our social and economic wellbeing.
Please continue to stay well, safe and strong. May we continue to be kind to one another and to ourselves, and of course, to mask up and keep washing our hands!
