Q: Cannot pass json data to Ajax function based on below code, i want to understand why i cannot call data from json (json.projects[i].projName) when i am calling it from ajax function?
var json = JSON.parse(data);

for (var i = 0; i < json.projects.length; i++) {

alert(json.projects[i].projName); //will show correct data

    $.ajax({ url: epridlist, method: 'GET'}).then(function (datas) {
        alert(json.projects[i].projName) // this will fail. says not know projName, when projName existed in jason data
    });
}

Please help me understand. if i alert outside ajax function, result will show

A: This is because of closure. The inner function in the Ajax success callback creates a closure and value of variable i is captured. The inner function contains a reference to the i variable.
After the loop executes, The value of i would be json.projects.length and when you try to access the json.projects[json.projects.length] you would get undefined.
To solve your problem you can try using the let variable instead of var which has a shorter scope as compared to the function scope.
You can refer to other approaches in this question: JavaScript closure inside loops – simple practical example
var json = JSON.parse(data);
for (let i = 0; i < json.projects.length; i++) {

alert(json.projects[i].projName); //will show correct data

    $.ajax({ url: epridlist, method: 'GET'}).then(function (datas) {
        alert(json.projects[i].projName) // this will fail. says not know projName, when projName existed in jason data
    });
}

How can a middle-sized city develop a unique brand to define its personality and strategic positioning, to stand out in a global world? Can the communication and marketing tools used at city level benefit the retail sector? The next RetaiLink transnational meeting will focus on how cities can use marketing tools to foster retail. From 19th to 20th October, the city of Romans (France) will host representatives from the 10 cities that integrate this URBACT network.
The first part of the meeting will focus on branding strategies for medium-sized cities and will be delivered by Roger Pride, expert on city branding and positioning from Heavenly Creative Consultancy. This session will combine a presentation, case examples and guided workshops to explore the cities' potential for branding strategies.
The cities will identify their key assets that can be used for positioning and promotion, and the expert will also give some clues about how to engage citizens in the process of creating marketing messages.
There will be time for a study visit through Romans, where participants will be able to choose between two itineraries: from Marques Avenue Outlet Centre, or from the Train Station, to the historic centre. Partners and experts will note down proposals that help increasing visitors' flows to the city centre, and give ideas and feedback to the city of Romans.
The participants will also visit "La Braderie d'Automne 2.0", an experiential retail proposal created by Romans' local shops. Besides, there will be a Shop Window activity where all the cities will exchange their experiences on linking the local agenda of events with the retail business activity, to ensure activities all-year-round.

Neighbours upset by tree-cutting at former Grant School

Andrew House and neighbours are not happy with development of the former Grant School, saying they have cut down too many trees. Photo by Jean Levac/Postmedia News 130623 Photo by Jean Levac /Postmedia News
Neighbours of the former Grant School say they were surprised and upset when crews took down a grove of mature spruce trees last week in preparation for building a francophone centre.
A site plan showed that only three trees would be cut, said Andrew House, who lives nearby. He says the local residents were not informed of any cutting beyond that.
Neighbours upset by tree-cutting at former Grant School Back to video
But the French public school board — Conseil des écoles publiques de l'Est de l'Ontario — says the trees were destined to be cut "from the get-go" and maintains it told everyone its plans. The board owns the property.
The spruce grove formed a screen near the property line that separates the former school property at 2720 Richmond Rd. from the backs of homes along Rob Roy Avenue.
The school closed a decade ago. The building is expected to reopen next fall as the Centre multiservices francophone de l'Ouest d'Ottawa (CMFO), with the school board owning the property.
Funding for the project is $15.1 million from Ottawa and the Ontario government.
The tree-cutting disagreement seems to stem from two different readings of the site plan. House and other residents say the plan shows only three trees to be cut. Each of them is shown by a circle. But the school board says it also shows it will cut a "clump" of between 15 and 20 trees and shrubs that are not individually identified. This cluster is marked with a different kind of line.

In the spring there was a community meeting and in summer there was a barbecue and open house on the site, with drawings, said Marc Chrétien, the board's director of property management.
"At that point the information was shared."
"From the get-go there were always about 28" trees and shrubs to be cut to make room for construction.
And Chrétien said there will be 70 new trees planted after construction, each with a trunk about six centimetres in diameter. This will form a screen of trees between the francophone centre and the neighbours.
House said the community wasn't well informed.
"I've lived here two years this fall and I don't think I've been invited to a single meeting. I don't dispute that a meeting may have been held," he said, "but if you speak with any of the neighbours here, no one is satisfied with the level of engagement or information.
"I don't think any mature trees should have come down without talking to the community and giving justification. But at the very least, follow the (site) plan as approved."
"The appearance of the landscape is now radically changed." He said the former landscape "had the appearance of a mini-forest" with birds, and it screened homes to the east from the school.
AFTER: The grove of Spruce trees behind Grant School has been cut down. Photo by resident Andrew House. Photo by Andrew House /Postmedia
"Now there is no green buffer or stand of trees.
"The damage that has been done is irreparable," even if young trees are planted.
House said this will create "really negative feeling" in the area toward the new centre.
The first to report the tree cutting was Dominique Nguyen, whose back yard faces the former grove. Nguyen is a francophone and at first she looked forward to having a francophone centre next door but says she no longer has good feelings about it.
"A lot of us felt the CMFO could be a really good thing," House said. "I used to teach French camp and I am proudly bilingual," he said.
But he said the project management "has left a bad feeling and it's completely unnecessary."
"This isn't private property. It is public property funded on the public dime" and the public should be consulted.
His main request: "At the very least, don't cut any other trees and commit to that in front of the community.
"This project could still be a really great thing if they just went about the engagement in the right way. Just the high-handed cavalier nature of the way they are doing things got people upset."

Fears over Alliance Trust telephone scam downplayed
By Donia O'Loughlin and Ashley Wassall
Alarm has been raised over a bogus telephone scam targetting investors in Alliance Trust, following several reports that the company alerted the regulator to a spate of calls to shareholders from individuals that purported to be interested in buying shares at twice their market value.
However, a source with knowledge of the situation has downplayed the threat to investors, saying that Alliance Trust had alerted the Financial Services Authority and published a statement on its website in November 2011 and that the calls had since abated.
The company's statement confirmed that it was aware some investors who hold shares in their own name rather than through a nominee account had received the telephone calls, which purported to come from an organisation that is looking to acquire shares in the company.
Alliance Trust said the callers were offered to double the current share price to acquire the shares and were asked either to pay money to the caller to confirm their interest, or to send a copy of their share certificate.
In the statement on its website, Alliance Trust said: "We have alerted the FSA to the issue. Calls offering payment well in excess of the price of our shares on the London stockmarket are almost invariably scams designed to extract cash or details of your investments that they would use to your detriment.
"We do not recommend that you comply with this type of request. We advise that prior to buying or selling shares you should contact your stockbroker or financial adviser."

Q: Why does the type of i change to an int even when I printed its type and made sure it was str? list_1 = ["adham","ayman","adham@gmail.com",19]
email = []
for i in list_1:
    print(type(i))
    if "@" in i:
        email.append(i)
print(email)

A: use str() in the if condition to solve this problem because there is an integer value in your list_1.
when i reaches the last element of the list:19 then it throws the error.
Solution:
list_1 = ["adham","ayman","adham@gmail.com",19]
email = []
for i in list_1:
    print(type(I))
    if "@" in str(I):
        email.append(i)
print(email)

A: There is an int at index 3 in list_1, which is causing your program to fail due to a TypeError

A: You got int in the list, and you're not converting the type to str by print(type(i)). Your if condition is expecting an iterable to check against, but getting an int for 19. You can update it to check against only for strings if you think there's gonna be int in the list, if isinstance(i, str) and "@" in i, or if "@" in str(i) if you need to convert int to str first.

Why are you running? I believe it's time for new leadership on the City Council. I'm young and I believe I would bring a new perspective to the problems facing Granite City.
What is the most important issue facing Granite City? How would you approach it? Since I've been going door to door and talking to people, the most important issue to them is having an Alderman that communicates with their constituents, and listens to the problems they are facing. To solve this, if elected I would hold town hall meetings in my Ward so that residents could voice their concerns.
If you were writing a job description for the position you're seeking, what would it say? Must be able to devote time to listen and talk to the residents of your district. Must also understand what problems are facing Granite City, and have an idea of how to solve them.
How would keep costs down or reduce costs in your municipality? I think we need to bring property taxes down, and the reason for this is the number of people that are moving out of Granite City is high. To stop this, we need to bring in new businesses in the downtown area. Keeping people in Granite City and getting new people to move here I believe would help bring costs down.
Why should people vote for you? People should vote for me because I will be an Alderman that will fight for them every day, and I will always stay in contact with my constituents. I also have experience in representing people on a council. I served as Student Trustee at Southwestern Illinois College where I represented over 12,000 students on the Board of Trustees. During my time at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville I served as a Student Senator, where I represented political science and history students on the senate.

Babies' Magic and Sleep Tea is an all natural solution for babies and newborns with typical digestive problems. From colic, gas, constipation, acid reflux, indigestion, and other tummy troubles – it naturally soothes and comforts your child's belly issues. They'll sleep better, eat better, and behave better when they're fully rested. Perfect remedy for babies suffering from tummy problems and waking up throughout the night. We created a natural and organic tea for babies and newborns based on a combination of organic super ingredients. These ingredients are effective at fighting the typical digestive problems, including colic, gas, constipation, to help your baby sleep better and not wake up multiple times a night.
My baby has GERD & the Magic Tea doesn't really help her with the throwing up so much but the sleepy time does help her sleep a little longer than the every two hour feedings she was waking up for. The teething one I didn't see where that one helped her at all.


The early part of this workout is a trap on the dumbbells. While the double unders will stay constant, the squats will feel relatively easy in the beginning. Move steady and well early on to preserve the push for the later rounds of squats. While 1 break is ok in the bigger sets (6-7+), it is better to take a little more rest between to go big or unbroken.
Athletes will have 15 minutes to complete their 5 sets of 2 tempo pausing back squats. Athletes can take a few warmup sets before they get to their first working set. Control takes priority over load. Athletes can use their rack buddies to hold themselves accountable on the negative and pause.
here is a heavy squat focus on this two part workout. The tempo back squats in part one are all about control. Athletes will spend 7 seconds descending to the bottom before pausing for a 3 count. While there are only 2 reps, the time under tension is high. Athletes have the option to build or stay at a challenging weight across. Within the workout, the weight on the dumbbells should be something that athletes could complete 20+ repetitions unbroken when fresh. A good rule of thumb is that athletes shouldn't have to take more than 1 planned break on the dumbbells later in the workout. There are 300 total double unders within the workout, with the workout ending on the rope. Let's choose a variation or rep number that allows for somewhere around 30-45 seconds of work per round.

LG's booth is one that I always make certain to visit at CES. Two years ago, it had the OLED Tunnel, and last year there was the OLED Canyon. This year, there's OLED Falls, a wall of OLED TVs as soon as you enter the booth.
Of course, that's just when you enter the booth. There's quite a bit more. LG introduced rollable OLED TVs at CES, which are pretty cool. The TVs roll up into a box when you're done watching them.
CES is big for entertainment for LG, so naturally, there were also soundbars, speakers, and stuff like that. Check out the booth tour below.
LG also introduced some new gram laptops, which are known for being incredibly light. The new entries are a new 17-inch clamshell and a 14-inch convertible. Both of them are pretty remarkable, and they're the lightest in their class.
For example, the 14-inch gram convertible weighs in at just over two and a half pounds. That wouldn't be the lightest 14-inch PC - there's the 14-inch gram clamshell for that - but it's definitely the lightest 14-inch convertible I've ever seen.
What amazes me is that these machines don't seem to make any compromises. They have clickable trackpads, a fingerprint sensor in the power button, USB Type-A ports, and more. These are all things that tend to be cut in thinner and lighter devices.

Big Chief's Wife to Be New Girlfriend Jackie Braasch.
Jackie Braasch is a professional car racer and squad member of a women's motorsports organization, Car Chix.
Although her love and interest for cars and racing have made her an iconic personality, Jackie is best recognized for being the present girlfriend of reality TV star and a professional street racer, Justin Shearer, better known as Big Chief.
Jackie Braasch Early Life.
Big Chief's Girlfriend Jackie Braasch is a Dragster.
Jackie Braasch's Boyfriend "Big Chef" is a Divorced Man.
Jackie Braasch Net Worth
Jackie Braasch was born on the 4th of July, 1990, in Joliet, Illinois, US. She is 30 years of age as of now. This American nationality's horoscope is Cancer. Unfortunately, a lot of information about her early life, including her parent's names and education, is still a mystery to everyone.
However, what is known is that her father was a garage worker and her mother was a homemaker. Unlike most women who love to spend time in the kitchen and households, Jackie had a strong love for car racing.
She also had a deep interest in cars and followed her dad to the garage as she would observe how her mechanic dad fixed the cars.
She also has a young sister by the name of Erin Braasch. Both sisters are die-hard fans of cars and racing who participated in professional Junior Dragster Division racing competitions from a very young age.
It is believed that Jackie dropped out of college after she graduated from high school to pursue her career in the automobile industry.
Jackie-Braasch
As the years passed by, Jackie's hunger for racing grew even more. By the age of 17, she got a full-sized dragster license and began pursuing her dream job as a professional sports racer. During her professional career, Jackie has participated in numerous car racing competitions such as SuperPro and Rocket Band Race Fuel Bracket Series.
Back in 2014, Jackie participated in the Car Chix Ladies Only Drag Race competition in which she was in the top 12 finalists out of 398 competitors.
Later, she joined Car Chix and became a member who was later renamed as the Car Chix girl in the 2015 Car Chix Calendar, in which she was featured winning Spitzer Dragster with a 510ci Big Block Chevy. In subsequent years, Jackie went on to win multiple competitions and awards.
Besides racing, Jackie is also a mechanic, and currently, she is working as a preschool teacher.
Big Chief's ex-wife and kids
The 30-year-old speedster would've been left unknown had it not been for her new boyfriend Justin Shearer, also known as Big Chief.
Jackie rose to the limelight when she publicly revealed her relationship with Big Chief, who is ten years older than her. This initially generated lots of negative criticisms as she was blamed for ruining Justin's married life.
At the time, Justin was married to his former wife, Alicia Shearer. Together, the couple had two children, Corbin Shearer and Covil Shearer.
However, back in 2017, Jackie Braasch's entry in Justin's life changed everything. During that year, Jackie and Justin worked together in a reality TV show Street Outlaws, which aired on the Discovery channel.
The rumor started to swirl regarding the duo's love affairs. Eventually, in 2017, Big Chef divorced his wife, Allicia Shearer. Although Jackie and Justin have not made public appearances together, they are dating with low-key love life.
Big Chief's girlfriend Jackie has amassed a great fortune from her time as a car racer. Jackie has come a long way to become one of the finest female racers who has won several tournaments and races.
Also, she earns a decent amount of money by working as a mechanic and a preschool teacher. As a result, from her various income sources, it is estimated that Jackie has a net worth of more than $500K.
On a side note, her boyfriend has a net worth of around $2 million.
Although Jackie Braasch is the girlfriend of one of the reality show's biggest stars, she has decided to keep her social life away from the people and media's attention as much as possible. Hence, this 30-year-old is not found anywhere on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter.
Full name Jackie Braasch
Date of Birth 4th of July, 1990
Place of Birth Joliet, Illinois, US
Boyfriend Justin Shearer
Profession Drag racer, Preschool teacher

Review by John Tucker - IAN TOOMEY, Masters Of Light
In August 1980 Ian Toomey first stepped into a recording studio with Bitches Sin, the band he'd formed with his brother Peter when he'd come to the conclusion that no-one would ever really deliver the album that he wanted to hear. Almost thirty-five years to the day later the guitarist was back in the studio once more, working again with his long-term friends and collaborators Steve Turton (drums), David A Mills (vocals) and producer extraordinaire Chris Tsangarides. The result of these recordings is Toomey's second solo album 'Masters Of Light', a distinctive and cohesive set of songs which once again demonstrate the diversity of Toomey's musical point of view. As with his previous solo release 'Ascension', on 'Masters Of Light' Toomey has allowed himself to visit places musically that, to him at least, were previously uncharted. It's as if, no longer confined by the (possibly self-imposed) restrictions or expectations of writing purely within the confines of Bitches Sin, he's allowed himself to stretch out and from an almost iconoclastic viewpoint dictate a modern day rock (rather than metal) manifesto.
As with its predecessor, the album is painted from an expansive and expressive palette and it's in the album's diversity that lie its strengths and attractions. And whereas in the day job with Bitches Sin the songs in the main rolled up, hit you square between the eyes and left before you knew what was going on, 'Masters Of Light' appears to be an album that's more about the journey than the destination; there's a lot to take in, both lyrically and musically, and repeated plays offer up previously unnoticed nuggets. Unlike the majority of his work which is generally rehearsed to perfection before the 'recording' light goes on 'Masters…' was born in the studio, created from the coalescence of licks and jams bounced around by the three 'T's of Toomey, Turton and Tsangarides (who provided the bass) and then captured as live as possible, with Mills coming in later to add his distinctive and often elegiac vocals. Although cut from the same cloth as its predecessor, 'Masters Of Light' is a more broody, some might say almost malevolent, collection of work, and the songs are the perfect frame for lyrics which are in the main reflective and observational, although more outward looking than the highly introspective material on 'Ascension'.
The songs themselves range from 'Underground', a punchy and attention-grabbing riff-driven metaphorical Molotov cocktail with police sirens and attitude aplenty, to the hugely contagious 'Only Words', an extremely catchy outing which underlies its tribute to Gary Moore and which years ago the majors would have banged out as a single (and for which, trivia fans, Tsangarides strapped on the guitar to contribute to the harmony run); or from the grinding riff of 'Devil's Chord' to the darker set closer (and, in truth, a song about love that spans the ages) 'Too Many Goodbyes', which features some irresistible guitar work, captured first take and imagined by Toomey as an homage to another fallen idol, the great Tommy Bolin.
No doubt there will be those who dismiss Toomey as a NWOBHM guitarist with a mid-life crisis, but his solo work continues to illustrate even to those with the most limited perception that he's clearly a guitarist with something of value to say and the perfect vehicle with which to shout it out loud. And although he has said a number of times that he feels that 'Masters Of Light' will be his final album, like the rest of us he must surely realise that the best things in life often come in threes…

Speaking before sunset at the Victory Column in Berlin's Tiergarten, to a crowd that stretched close to a mile back to the Brandenburg Gate, the 46-year-old first-term senator, who is extremely popular in Western Europe, recalled the celebration after the 1989 fall of the Berlin Wall.
He warned that today "the greatest danger of all is to allow new walls to divide us from one another."
Obama implored European leaders to send more military troops to fight al-Qaida and the Taliban in Afghanistan alongside the U.S.
"America cannot do this alone. The Afghan people need our troops and your troops," he said.
Obama and his campaign have sought to downplay the campaign aspects of the Berlin appearance and his entire foreign trip this week.
"I speak to you not as a candidate for president, but as a citizen," he said, "a proud citizen of the United States and a fellow citizen of the world."
The line echoed President Kennedy's famous "Ich bin ein Berliner" speech in 1963, when JFK said that "all free men, wherever they may live, are citizens of Berlin."
Obama arrived in Germany Thursday morning to much fanfare, as local TV stations aired live coverage. Fans gathered in the streets for a glimpse of the Democratic presidential candidate outside his hotel and as he arrived for a meeting with Chancellor Angela Merkel.
Before delivering his speech, Obama told reporters it wouldn't be comparable to famous ones in Berlin by Presidents Kennedy and Reagan because "they were presidents. I am a citizen. But obviously Berlin is representative of the extraordinary success of the post-World War II effort to bring the continent together and to bring the West together and then later to bring the East and the West together. So I think it's a natural place."
He demurred when asked if this was meant as a preview of what sort of president he might be if he were to defeat Republican John McCain in November.
"No," he said. "I'm just giving a speech."
A small campaign flap erupted late Thursday over Obama's decision to cancel a planned short visit to U.S. military bases in Germany. His campaign issued a statement explaining that Obama decided not to visit soldiers at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center because he thought it would be inappropriate to do so as part of a trip funded by the campaign.
McCain's campaign issued a statement criticizing Obama's decision to cancel the visit.
"Barack Obama is wrong. It is never inappropriate to visit our men and women in the military," McCain campaign spokesman Brian Rogers said.
Before leaving Israel for Germany, Obama visited the Western Wall in Jerusalem, accompanied by a rabbi. Although the predawn visit was not advertised, it was widely anticipated, and in the waning moonlight he was heckled by a protester shouting, "Obama, Jerusalem is not for sale!" as other locals who supported Obama tried to drown out the protester's cries.
Obama will travel to France and England today and Saturday before returning home.

What Do These Extinct Plants Smell Like?
A multidisciplinary collaboration resurrects three types of flora lost due to 20th-century colonialism
Isis Davis-Marks
Resurrecting the Sublime recreates the scent of Hibiscadelphus wilderianus, which went extinct in 1912. Grace Chuang / Ginkgo Bioworks
A flower known as the Hibiscadelphus wilderianus Rock once grew in abundance on the slopes of Maui's lava fields. But colonial cattle ranching decimated the plant's Hawaiian habitat, and its last tree died in 1912. A sole surviving specimen is preserved at Harvard University.
Just over a century after the plant species went extinct, multidisciplinary artist Alexandra Daisy Ginsberg, scent researcher and artist Sissel Tolaas, and biotech company Ginkgo Bioworks used synthetic biology to recreate the flower's possible smell. As Rowan Jacobsen reported for Scientific American in 2019, descriptions of the fragrance ranged from "ethereal" to "lightness."
The hibiscus isn't the only vanished plant species resurrected by the project. Since its launch in 2016, Resurrecting the Sublime has allowed participants to smell three types of flowers lost due to colonial activity. The immersive installation has traveled around the world, from the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum in New York to the Centre Pompidou in Paris, and is currently on display at the 17th International Architecture Exhibition in Venice.
"We built these synthetic versions of each flower's overall smell," Ginsberg tells Lisa Melton of Nature Biotechnology. "But of course, they're not accurate because we don't know which molecules were actually in the flower, in what quantities, whether the molecules' function was smell-related, or even if the genes were switched on to produce those molecules."
To recreate the extinct plants' scent, the team extracted DNA samples from preserved specimens and sequenced their genetic code. According to Engadget's Nick Summers, experts then identified DNA sequences that might yield fragrance-producing enzymes known as sesquiterpene synthases and printed molecules with these specific DNA strands. After allowing the molecules to ferment with yeast, the researchers isolated "some tiny, smelly sesquiterpenes" that offered a semblance of the original plants' scent.
In Resurrecting the Sublime, these recreated fragrances are diffused into the installation's environment, creating what Surface magazine's Ryan Waddoups likens to a "giant fish tank where visitors can enter to sniff specimens."
Speaking with Nature Biotechnology, Ginsberg explains, "What we end up with is a blurry picture of the past, a false yet powerful memory. … Experiencing this creates an emotional, physical connection with the natural world. It is that sense of awe and terror and nature's fragility in the face of human devastation."
In addition to the Hawaiian hibiscus, the installation resurrects the Orbexilum stipulatum, a "delicate, citrus-y" scented plant that was last spotted in Kentucky in 1881, per Fast Company's Katharine Schwab, and the Leucadendron grandiflorum, which originally flourished in Cape Town, South Africa. Also called the Wynberg Conebush, the plant's habitat was devastated by colonial vineyards; it was last seen in a collector's garden in London in the early 1800s.
Ginsberg embarked on a similarly themed project following the death of Sudan, the world's last male northern white rhino, in March 2018. For two minutes at a time, the artist brought Sudan—or, at least, a 3-D approximation of him—back to life. The digitally projected artwork concluded with Sudan vanishing abruptly, just as his species has. Titled The Substitute, the installation is housed in the Cooper Hewitt's permanent collection.
"I just was really struck by this paradox that somehow we were getting so excited about the possibility of creating intelligence in whatever form," Ginsberg told Smithsonian magazine's Alice George last year. "And yet we completely neglect the life that already exists."

A?Spanner in the Works is a light-hearted and comical novel combined with a political thriller... Toby Shanks is a walking disaster zone devoid of sense, style or any other redeeming feature. This low-flying civil servant stumbles through his career pausing only to cause havoc through his ineptitude. Rather than sacking him, his public sector employers promote him and transfer him on to unsuspecting colleagues. Toby Shanks rises through the ranks of the civil service on the back of his blunders until a clerical error lands him a glamorous role in the government's publicity agency. As Toby struggles ineffectively to come to terms with his new job, a politically embarrassing incident brings him to the attention of the Russian secret service and he falls in to the amorous clutches of one of their top agents, Helga Schmitt. The lovestruck Toby is manipulated in to a high-level position by the Russians and unwittingly primed to deliver a devastating blow to Trans-Atlantic relationships, just as the new US President arrives on a state visit. Having revealed to Parliament that his employer is spying on behalf of the CIA, Toby is targeted for elimination by the security services of Britain, Russia and the USA. As the vengeful elite forces of the superpowers close in on the hapless Toby he unexpectedly finds himself face to face with the leaders of the free world in a cobbled alley in East London. And he has a loaded gun in his hand.

Shimshon Wexler alleges the cable giant made harassing phone calls to customers trying to sell its products. Shimshon Wexler, based in New York, filed its lawsuit in late March against Aicom Solutions LLC, Time Warner Cable, Time Warner Cable Media LLC, Charter Communications Inc. and Charter Communications Operating LLC.
In its case, filed in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, the firm defined its class this way: "Each person that was sent one or more telephone facsimile messages from Time Warner Cable after Feb. 24, 2013, promoting the commercial availability of digital telephone or internet services but not stating on its first page that the recipient may make a request to the sender not to send any future ads and that failure to comply with such a request within 30 days is unlawful."
Its motion to certify the class was filed March 27.
The lawsuit states that the defendants sent advertising facsimile to the plaintiffs and their class in violation of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act.
The law firm stipulated in the complaint that it received at least one ad by fax on Dec. 14, 2016. In that fax, the plaintiff claims the defendants illegally sent offers of telephone and internet services.
The complaint said, "the court should exercise its discretion to increase the amount of the statutory damages award to an amount equal to not more than three times the amount." The law firm also wants the court to prohibit the defendants from faxing ads in the future.
The suit also wants the court to appoint the plaintiff as the representative of the class. The firm will be represented in the case by Julia L. Titolo and Phillip A. Bock.

PF prefers dunderhead MPs, Tutwa Ngulube is a misfit
By Diggers Editor,
Former Kabwe Central Patriotic Front member of parliament Tutwa Ngulube following parliament proceedings on September 26, 2017 - Picture by Tenson Mkhala
Kabwe Central member of parliament Tutwa Ngulube says very soon, PF will have no one in State House because the party has been lying to citizens, making all sorts of promises and failing to fulfill them. He is afraid that people will hit back at the PF government by voting according to the number of failed promises. Mr Ngulube warns that as a consequence of not fulfilling promises, the PF is at high risk of losing power.
This statement has sent the PF leadership in shock. They thought they had succeeded in silencing Mr Ngulube after he reaffirmed his loyalty to President Edgar Lungu two months ago. In fact they are accusing us of publishing falsehood because they are convinced that there is no way the Kabwe MP could have said what we quoted.
On Monday when we published this story in our print edition of News Diggers! Mr Ngulube who had not seen our paper called to ask if we added things that he did not say to his story, because apparently, some ministers felt he was insulting the President and betraying the party. When we ran him through what was contained in the story, he stood by his statement and saw nothing wrong with what he said.
For the benefit of those who missed Mr Ngulube's warning to the Patriotic Front, here is a summary of it.
"Honestly speaking, there is nothing for the youths to celebrate at the moment. Last year, the President made a lot of pronouncements, including the 500 thousand jobs within five years. We hoped we would begin to see at least one job every month but as you have seen, most of the projects have stalled, contractors who used to employ our youths are not working and as a result, we are not moving forward.
Our youths countrywide have a lot of talent, skills and labour, but government's support is minimal. The Ministry of Youth and Sport also seems to be a dormant ministry, it's dead in other words because we don't see it working. Even when we hear all the pronouncements during Youth Day, we do not see how the national budget captures those aspirations that the youths normally have.
We have got a lot of trained teachers. But government does not employ them. Those who are trained as teachers already, what would be the explanation for not giving them jobs? There would be no proper explanation. There are youths wanting to join the Army, people wanting to join ZNS but we don't see recruitment happening very often. The majority of Zambians today are completing Grade 12 and most of them are graduating from colleges, but we do not seem to have a policy of bringing them into the sectors to work. As a result, our youths remain languishing on the streets.
The first and most practical consequence of government not fulfilling its promises is that we lose members, when people start voting, they vote according to the promises that you made. So if you don't actualise your promises, you risk losing power. Very soon we will have nobody in State House because the people would have actually felt that they were lied to. That is one way of hitting back at the government. So those are the consequences of not fulfilling promises."
It is really worrying to imagine that the PF cannot see the sense in this warning from their member of parliament. How can this basic truth be construed as an insult to the President and the party?
The record is there; President Lungu promised youths hundreds of thousands of jobs, he promised to reopen Mulungushi Textiles (and even pretended to launch its grand opening before the 2015 elections) but he was fooling the youths. Thousands of young Zambians today have completed school, thousands have graduated from colleges, but there are no jobs. The companies which are supposed to employ these youths are instead closing. As a result of these fake promises, the youths are eager to remove the PF from State House.
These are the observations that Mr Ngulube was making. If he was lying, we are willing to publish the argument from any PF officials that can prove this observation wrong. Let the PF tell the nation if Mulungushi Textiles in Mr Ngulube's constituency is open today and how many youths it has employed.
But we know why the PF is confused with the politics that Tutwa Ngulube is playing. They are used to having dunderhead MPs who can't think or act on personal principles. PF likes ukwalola umwela MPs; if President Lungu says 'there will be war in Zambia if I am stopped from standing', they expect every member of parliament to endorse the statement. Those who distance themselves from the foolishness and condemn the threats on Constitutional Court judges are considered traitors who are not loyal to the President.
We applaud Mr Ngulube for being brave to call the PF lies by their name. He might not be very popular in the PF because even when debating in Parliament, he is frank. But he must continue on that path, keeping in mind that he is not a parliamentary representative for the PF youths only. Kabwe is a cosmopolitan town politically. When it comes to speaking for the people, it doesn't matter who sent him to parliament, he is an MP for all Kabwe residents. Their interests should be his primary concern and not the interests of President Lungu. If he takes that position, he can be assured that even if the PF expelled him for speaking the truth, he will bounce back in Parliament.
Like Mr Ngulube rightly observed, soon there will be no PF in State House because the youths are angry with them. They voted for PF in 2011, but the PF has voted for the MMD back in power and given away the jobs to foreigners. We hope the acting President Mr Davies Chama will remember to deliver this message to the State House tenant when he returns from wherever he went after leaving Botswana; these youths will haunt PF in 2021.

Pennsylvania Judge BLOCKS State From Certifying Election Results in Presidential and All Other Races
Lawsuit alleges that Pennsylvania's mail-in voting law violated the state's constitution
By Ronn Blitzer | Fox News| November 25, 2020:
A Pennsylvania state court issued an injunction Wednesday blocking any potential further certification of election results in the state, pending a hearing to be held Friday.
The order from Judge Patricia McCullough comes in the case brought by Pennsylvania voters including Rep. Mike Kelly, R-Pa., in which they allege that a state law allowing for no-excuse absentee voting violated the Pennsylvania constitution, which outlines specific cases where absentee voting is allowed.
"[T]o the extent that there remains any further action to perfect the certification of the results of the 2020 General Election … for the office of President and Vice President of the United States of America, Respondents are preliminarily enjoined from doing so, pending an evidentiary hearing[,]'" McCullough wrote.
Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro quickly responded on Twitter, pointing out that this does not have much impact since the results of the presidential election have already been certified and electors chosen.
Still, Pennsylvania officials swiftly filed a notice of appeal with the state Supreme Court, asking for a review of whether McCullough erred in granting injunctive relief despite Kelly and the other voters showing a "failure to satisfy any of the prerequisites" that warranted injunctive relief.
As for any other races in November's elections that may not have been certified, state officials are temporarily barred from certifying the results of any election that has not already been certified.
An evidentiary hearing will be held Friday.
The complaint in the case centers on Act 77, which the plaintiffs called "the most expansive and fundamental change to the Pennsylvania election code to date." That law expanded mail-in voting, even though Article VII, Section 14 of the Pennsylvania Constitution, which covers absentee voting, is very narrow in its scope of who can participate.
That law says that the state legislature shall provide a manner of voting for people who will be outside of their municipality "because their duties, occupation or business require them to be elsewhere or who, on the occurrence of any election, are unable to attend at their proper polling places because of illness or physical disability or who will not attend a polling place because of the observance of a religious holiday or who cannot vote because of election day duties, in the case of a county employee, may vote, and for the return and canvass of their votes in the election district in which they respectively reside."
The lawsuit claims that Pennsylvania's mail-in votes are invalid because in order to expand absentee voting, a constitutional amendment is required, not simply the passing of a bill.
While the presidential election results in Pennsylvania have already been certified, the Trump campaign is still actively fighting them, hoping for decertification as they appeal the dismissal of a case they brought alleging that voters were improperly granted the ability to cure invalid absentee votes, and in which they alleged that more than 680,000 ballots were counted without proper observation.

Puerto Rican murder-for-hire suspect claims innocence in Spanish extradition hearing
MADRID – A Puerto Rican woman wanted by the United States for allegedly hiring a hit man to kill her wealthy Canadian husband has told a Spanish extradition hearing she is the innocent and the victim of "corrupt and Mafioso" types.
Aurea Vazquez Rijos, 32, told Madrid's National Court on Wednesday that she did not want to be extradited, and claimed she was unaware she had been wanted.
Vazquez was arrested in June in Madrid after flying in from Italy, where she had lived since 2008. A U.S. grand jury indicted her that year following accusations that she offered a man $3 million to kill Adam Anhang, who was beaten and stabbed to death in Puerto Rico in 2005.
The court is expected to rule on the extradition within three weeks.

It is hard to believe it has been 140 days since the coronavirus started impacting our organization's daily operations. While this time has not been without its challenges, today we wanted to celebrate the good that has happened over the last several months!
It's only because of the support we receive from generous and caring people like you that we've been able to continue to save lives, even in the midst of a global pandemic. Thank you for being a hero to animals in need!
During the First 140 Days of Coronavirus
626 Adoptions!
659 Animals Taken in from our Community & Shelter Partners
631 Foster Home Placements
264 New Foster Homes
1425 Spay/Neuter Surgeries on our Mobile Clinics

367 Fee-reduced Spay/Neuter Surgeries made possible through grant funds
I also wanted to tell you about a very special adoption that happened during this time. Shadow was at a rural shelter that was forced to temporarily suspend adoptions. During coronavirus, Brother Wolf has made weekly trips to shelters like these, taking in animals so that they can continue their journey towards adoption.
Shadow was nervous when he first arrived at Brother Wolf. He had a lot of energy built up, and he didn't know how to calm himself down. He wasn't able to walk on a leash, and would bark nonstop if someone walked by his kennel. But when you took a moment to just be with him, you found that he had the sweetest disposition. He loves to cover you in kisses!
Our incredible staff knew that with a little work, he would be a great dog for someone. They started daily trainings with him, teaching him basic manners, and getting him on long walks and into playgroups with other dogs to burn off his nervous energy.
Shadow quickly made progress, wanting to please his favorite people and making tons of dog friends. Finally, after 7 weeks of learning to be a good boy, Shadow's perfect family came along. He is thriving in their home, and now has the happy ever after he always deserved!

The Ghosts of Tours Past
How Lance Armstrong and a 1998 drug test could ruin this year's race
By Geoffrey Wheatcroft
The April bombing of the Boston Marathon raised an uncomfortable thought at this year's Tour de France: What if Corsican separatists attempted some violent outrage? They have a habit of blowing up supermarkets and setting fire to houses they don't like the look of, and have killed plenty of people. Here was the chance for a real terrorist "spectacular."
Now that the Tour has passed its first three days in Corsica without incident—or at least, that kind of incident—and crossed to what Corsicans call le continent, I can say what had occurred to me but would have been tempting Providence to write before. The Tour plays an almost sacred part in French life, more than the World Series and Superbowl together, if only because so many millions have seen it close at hand. The separatists are nasty and silly, but they knew what the reaction would have been had a French cyclist—or any cyclist—been hurt: The large Corsican communities in Marseilles and Paris would have trembled with fear. And so they confined themselves to hoisting a big "Corsica Libera—Corsica is not France" banner on railroad bridge high above the road as the cyclists went beneath.
Then again, "without incident" scarcely tells the story. At a press conference in Porto Vecchio on Thursday, Sir Dave Brailsford, manager of the formidable Sky team, said that this Tour would be won by the rider and team making the fewest mistakes. Sad to say, the race began with an excruciating mistake, albeit not by a rider. In Bastia on Saturday, I made my way to the finish, marked by a white line across the road and a metal gate topped with a banner advertising Vittel mineral water, which contraption also holds the gadgetry for measuring times and snapping the photo-finish.
I was hoping to see Mark Cavendish, the greatest sprinter of the age, cross the line first and take the race leader's yellow jersey, one of the few prizes he's never claimed. What I saw instead as I vaguely gazed at the line was a grotesque event now celebrated far beyond the ranks of those who follow bike racing. The Orica-GreenEDGE team bus tried to drive under the banner, but either the bus was too tall or the banner was too low, and there was a ghastly crunching sound as the bus jammed against the metal overhead. The full story, and the question of responsibility, has been exhaustively analysed by L'Equipe (though I do wish that admirable sports paper hadn't called the incident "Busgate"—oh please!), but the best comment was by Richard Williams of the Guardian, who tweeted, "[I] didn't know M Hulot was taking his holiday in Corsica this year." In the ensuing pandemonium, the finish line was moved out, then back, and panicky crashes ruined Cavendish's chances, before the stage was won by Marcel Kittel, a German supporting rider with Argos.
Happily the next two days in what Chris Froome, the race favourite, rightly calls the "sublime island" of Corsica were about good bike racing rather than slapstick farce. A second stage across the mountains from Bastia to Ajaccio was won by the Belgian Jan Bakelants of RadioShack. More to the point, Froome attacked alone on one of the climbs, just to remind the others what he can do. On Sunday, what may be the most scenically beautiful stage the Tour has ever known, along the precipitous coast road from Ajaccio to Calvi, saw Peter Sagan surprisingly pipped by the Australian Simon Gerrans, who rides for none other than Orica-GreenEDGE, which won an even less expected victory in Tuesday's team time trial in Nice to give Gerrans the maillot jaune.
And yet with all these thrills and spills, there have been too many ghosts at the feast—for the Tour, and for France. Nicolas Sarkozy, the last president, is engulfed by resurfacing scandals, and heartily glad that he enjoys legal immunity for anything that happened while he was in office. The administration of his successor, President François Hollande, is tainted by its own scandals. And a French Senate hearing on the economy has just heard evidence from a man who once hoped to be president, although Dominique Strauss-Kahn won't now be contender, and nor will he be checking into many New York hotel rooms for a while.
As for the Tour, we have seen the disgrace of the hugely popular Laurent Jalabert; we've heard Jan Ullrich, who won the Tour in 1997, admit that he engaged in the ghoulish practice of blood-doping, gaining extra energy by reinjecting a quantity of blood previously extracted; and, as if that weren't enough, on the day the Tour began, Le Monde ran a long interview with Lance Armstrong. I can't resist quoting from that austere newspaper's description of how it was rebuffed when it tried earlier for an interview with Armstrong: "il a, de son propre aveu, d'abord pensé à nous répondre 'fuck off'." Even if your French is shaky, you may get the drift.
But really, I didn't think I could dislike or despise Armstrong any more, until reading this utterly contemptible bleat of evasion and self-pity. Yet again he snivelled that "I didn't invent doping. I simply participated in a system. I am a human being." I suggest that readers could try a logical experiment, adapting that defence for persons accused of any other offence, from rape to racketeering to war crimes. He also said that the devastating report last fall from the the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency "did not draw a true picture of cycling from the end of the 1980s to the present day. It succeeded perfectly in destroying one man's life, but didn't benefit cycling at all"—his life, that is, rather than those ravaged by the scourge of doping.
On July 18, the last Thursday before Paris, the Tour goes not once but twice up the awesome Alpe d'Huez climb in the Alps, where a chemically-fuelled Armstrong used to crush the field—and on that day, the ultimate time bomb will be detonated. In 1998, the "Tour de Farce", when the Festina scandal revealed the extent of doping, there were more than a hundred tests, none of which was positive. The obvious conclusion was that there was then no adequate test for the blood-boosting drug EPO. But samples from all the riders were frozen and locked away, until the time, which duly came, when there was such a test.
In 2005 L'Equipe broke the story that Armstrong's specimen had retrospectively shown EPO, which began the long story of his downfall. And now the French senate has announced that it will release the results of all the tests from 1998—on July 18. To be sure, these are interesting times.
