On this day: Irving, Finkel trades; Green re-signs; Kottman born
August 22, 2020 8:49 am ET
On this date in 2017, the Boston Celtic traded fan-favorite All-Star point guard Isaiah Thomas to the Cleveland Cavaliers along with forward Jae Crowder, big man Ante Zizic and draft assets for four-time All-Star point guard Kyrie Irving.
"Kyrie is one of the best scorers in the NBA. He has proven that on the biggest stage, the NBA Finals, the last three years," said Celtics President Danny Ainge in a press release at the time.
"He's been an NBA Champion, an Olympic Gold Medalist, and a four-time All-Star," added Ainge. "For all he's accomplished, we think his best years are ahead of him."
Thomas' hip injury would cause him to fail his physical, requiring the addition of more draft assets to complete the trade later in the week.
We all know how Irving's tenure went in Boston, but at the time, the deal made sense, as painful as it was to part ways with Thomas.
It was also on this date that former Celtics forward Jeff re-signed with the team in 2012, inking a four-year, $36 million deal.
"We are thrilled to have Jeff back with the Celtics," Ainge said in a statement at the time (via ESPN's Greg Payne). "Jeff's versatility on offense and ability to guard players out on the perimeter is something that we are looking forward to having on the court this season."
Drafted by Boston with the fifth overall pick out of Georgetown in the 2007 NBA Draft, Green had been dealt to the Seattle Supersonics with Wally Szczerbiak and Delonte West for Ray Allen and Glen Davis.
The former Hoya would return to the team in a trade in 2011 that saw Kendrick Perkins and Nate Robinson dealt to the now- Oklahoma City Thunder (the franchise had moved to Oklahoma in the meantime) for Green and Nenad Krstić.

Green would play a total of four seasons with the team, averaging 14.6 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 1.5 assists per game until he was traded yet again, this time to the Memphis Grizzlies in a deal that brought back Tayshaun Prince and draft assets.
Boston also traded for former Celtics center Hank Finkel on this date in as well, sent by the then-San Diego Rockets in 1969.
He played center for the #Celtics following Bill Russell's retirement, and won the 1974 #NBA Championship with John Havlicek, Dave Cowens and Jo Jo White.

Finkel would play six seasons for Boston in a reserve role, winning a title with them in 1974 and averaging 4.6 points and 3.7 rebounds per game with the team.
Finally, it is the birthday of ex-Celtics center Harold Kottman, a product of Culver-Stockton College who was born in Forest Green, Missouri on this day in 1922.

The former Boston big man played just 53 games with the Celtics in their inaugural season, putting up 3.1 points per game (rebounds were not yet recorded).

Gerrard must seek to make audacious move to lure £2.25m-rated free agent to Rangers | The Transfer Tavern | Where football transfer rumours fly or die!
According to a report from The Sun, the future of midfielder Yaya Toure remains uncertain given West Ham aren't convinced about offering him a deal. The 35-year-old is currently a free agent after leaving Manchester City at the expiration of his contract last month, this all after eight years at the Etihad Stadium in which time he won three Premier League titles, and indeed several other domestic trophies.
And with the Hammers reportedly unsure about luring him to the London Stadium, the door is open for Rangers manager Steven Gerrard to make an audacious move to convince the £2.25 million-rated star (as per Transfermarkt) of a move north of the border.
Ultimately, the midfielder struggled for regular first team football at City last term in mustering just 17 appearances under Pep Guardiola, with the incredible form shown by the Premier League champions underlining the fact that they just no longer need the Ivorian.
Yet it was only 12 months earlier in which the 35-year-old scored five goals in 25 league games for the Citizens to help them to a top four finish, which itself suggested that the midfielder still had what it took to succeed at the highest level.
West Ham have reportedly shown an interest in Toure but it remains to be seen whether they do indeed offer a contract, but with his agent reportedly suggesting that the 35-year-old would happily play for very little money this season, Gerrard should be ready to make a move to bring him to Rangers.
Clearly, the Gers have got some way to go to get anywhere near Old Firm rivals Celtic having finished 12 points behind them in the Scottish Premiership last season, and indeed losing their last two clashes of last season by an aggregate score of 9-0.
And while Gerrard deserves great credit for making some very shrewd additions in the summer window, they need genuine quality in some areas of the field to really strike fear into Brendan Rodgers' Bhoys – Toure's arrival would do just that.
And with it perhaps unlikely that his addition would set them back too greatly financially either, alongside West Ham's reported concerns over offering him a deal, the Light Blues must seek to make an audacious move to lure the midfielder to Ibrox.

Facebook's FTC fine will be $5 billion—or one month's worth of revenue – Ars Technica

The Federal Trade Commission and Facebook have reportedly agreed on a $5 billion fine that would settle the FTC's privacy investigation into the social network.
With Facebook having reported $15 billion in revenue last quarter, the $5 billion fine would amount to one month's worth of revenue.
The FTC voted 3-2 to approve the settlement this week, with three yes votes from Republican commissioners and two no votes from Democrats, The Wall Street Journal reported today, citing anonymous sources. Democrats on the commission were "pushing for tougher oversight," the Journal wrote.
The FTC hasn't announced the deal publicly.
"The matter has been moved to the Justice Department's civil division, and it is unclear how long it will take to finalize," the Journal wrote. "Justice Department reviews are part of the FTC's procedure but typically don't change the outcome of an FTC decision."
The settlement is "expected to include other government restrictions on how Facebook treats user privacy," but the Journal didn't get details on what those restrictions will be.
FTC officials had reportedly discussed whether to hold Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg personally accountable for his company's privacy failures, but there was no word on any punishment for Zuckerberg today.
The FTC investigation began in March 2018 after revelations that up to 87 million users' information was improperly shared with Cambridge Analytica, a political consulting firm that did work for Donald Trump's presidential campaign. The investigation focused on whether Facebook violated the terms of its 2011 settlement with the FTC, which prohibited Facebook from misrepresenting the privacy or security of user information and required Facebook to get consumers' express consent before making changes that override their privacy settings.
Facebook warned investors in April that it would face an FTC fine of $3 billion to $5 billion, and said it does not expect the fine to be tax-deductible. The company reported net income of $2.4 billion in the first quarter, but that was after accounting for the expected legal expense of at least $3 billion. Facebook share prices were up 1.8% today.
Democratic members of Congress blasted the settlement. "This reported $5 billion penalty is barely a tap on the wrist, not even a slap," Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) said in a statement. "Such a financial punishment for purposeful, blatant illegality is chump change for a company that makes tens of billions of dollars every year. Will Facebook be compelled to alter its present, systematic abuse of privacy? Based on the reported settlement, the answer is sadly, no."
Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) agreed. "Despite Republicans' promises to hold big tech accountable, the FTC appears to have failed miserably at its best opportunity to do so," Wyden said. "No level of corporate fine can replace the necessity to hold Mark Zuckerberg personally responsible for the flagrant, repeated violations of Americans' privacy. That said, this reported fine is a mosquito bite to a corporation the size of Facebook."

American Beverage Association v. City & County of San Francisco
News CMA in the Courts American Beverage Association v. City & County of San Francisco
(U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, 16-16072)
CMA, along with NEPO, joined the Center for Public Health Advocacy and other health organizations, in an amicus brief supporting the City and County of San Francisco in defending its sugar-sweetened beverage ordinances. In June 2015, the City and County of San Francisco passed three first-of-its-kind ordinances related to sugar- sweetened beverages (SSBs) requiring health warning labels on SSB advertisements, prohibiting advertisements of SSBs on city owned property, and banning the spending of city money of SSBs.
On July 24, 2015, the American Beverage Association, along with the California Retailers Association and California Outdoor Advertising Association, filed a lawsuit in federal court challenging the ordinances requiring health warning labels on SSB advertisements and prohibiting SSB advertisement on city owned property. The lawsuit alleges that both ordinances violate free speech rights under the First Amendment and questions claims that SSBs are hazardous in any quantity and more hazardous to health than any other food or beverage. CMA's brief discusses the adverse health effects resulting from excessive consumption of SSBs, discuss the need for the warnings, explain the rationales behind the disclosures, and the scientifically established justification to warn specifically about diabetes, obesity, and tooth decay.
On May 17, 2016, the federal court denied the American Beverage Association's request for an order blocking San Francisco's soda warnings law. The court found that the mandatory warning labels did not violate beverage companies' or advertisers' First Amendment rights. The American Beverage Association appealed the decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. CMA, along with other amici, have filed an amicus brief before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.
On September 19, 2017, the Ninth Circuit reversed the trial court decision and struck down the San Francisco ordinance. The Court held that because the warning was required to take up 20% of the space on the advertisement, the warning was unduly burdensome and chilled protected commercial speech under the First Amendment. Following a petition for rehearing by the City, on January 29, 2018, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals granted rehearing of the case before the full panel of judges on the Ninth Circuit.
Trial Court CMA Amicus Brief filed: 2/23/16
Trial Court Opinion filed: 5/17/16
CMA Amicus Brief filed: 9/21/16
Opinion filed: 9/19/17
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit struck down the SSB ordinances.
Rehearing granted: 9/19/17
This case is currenting pending before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit which has stayed to proceedings pending the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in NIFLA v. Becerra.

Population-level Impact of HPV Vaccination
Effectiveness of HPV vaccines in real-world settings based on up to 8 years of post-vaccination follow-up data
Topic: Gynaecologic malignancies / Epidemiology/Etiology/Cancer Prevention
Updated systematic review and meta-analysis of data from 60 million individuals and up to 8 years of post-vaccination follow-up show compelling evidence of the substantial impact of human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination programmes on HPV infections and cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2+ (CIN2+) among girls and women, and on anogenital warts diagnoses among girls, women, boys, and men. In addition, programmes with multi-cohort vaccination and high vaccination coverage had a greater direct impact and herd effects. The results are published on 26 June 2019 in The Lancet.
The HPV Vaccination Impact Study Group wrote in the background that more than 10 years have passed since HPV vaccination was implemented. They performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of the population-level impact of vaccinating girls and women against HPV on HPV infections, anogenital wart diagnoses, and CIN2+ to summarise the most recent evidence about the effectiveness of HPV vaccines in real-world settings and to quantify the impact of multiple age-cohort vaccination.
The authors searched MEDLINE and Embase for studies published between 1 February 2014 and 11 October 2018. Studies were eligible if they compared the frequency, either prevalence or incidence of at least one HPV-related endpoint defined as genital HPV infections, anogenital wart diagnoses, or histologically confirmed CIN2+ between pre-vaccination and post-vaccination periods among the general population and if they used the same population sources and recruitment methods before and after vaccination.
Primary assessment was the relative risk (RR) comparing the frequency of HPV-related endpoints between the pre-vaccination and post-vaccination periods.
The study team stratified all analyses by sex, age, and years since introduction of HPV vaccination. They used random-effects models to estimate pooled RRs.
In total, 1702 potentially eligible articles have been identified but at the end, the authors included 65 articles from 14 high-income countries: 23 for HPV infection, 29 for anogenital warts, and 13 for CIN2+.
After 5–8 years of vaccination, the prevalence of HPV 16 and 18 decreased significantly by 83% (RR 0.17) among girls aged 13–19 years, and decreased significantly by 66% (RR 0.34) among women aged 20–24 years. The prevalence of HPV 31, 33, and 45 decreased significantly by 54% (RR 0.46) among girls aged 13–19 years. Anogenital wart diagnoses decreased significantly by 67% (RR 0.33) among girls aged 15–19 years, decreased significantly by 54% (RR 0.46) among women aged 20–24 years, and decreased significantly by 31% (RR 0.69) among women aged 25–29 years.
Among boys aged 15–19 years anogenital wart diagnoses decreased significantly by 48% (RR 0.52) and among men aged 20–24 years they decreased significantly by 32% (RR 0.68).
After 5–9 years of vaccination, CIN2+ decreased significantly by 51% (RR 0.49) among screened girls aged 15–19 years and decreased significantly by 31% (RR 0.69) among women aged 20–24 years.
This updated systematic review and meta-analysis show compelling evidence of the substantial impact of HPV vaccination programmes among girls, women, boys, and men.
The study was funded byWorld Health Organization (WHO), Canadian Institutes of Health Research, Fonds de recherche du Québec – Santé.
A modelling study for global elimination of cervical cancer
Cervical screening and HPV vaccination have been implemented in most high-income countries. However, coverage is low in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). In 2018, the Director-General of WHO announced a call to action for the elimination of cervical cancer as a public health problem.
In a paper published earlier this year in The Lancet Oncology, the researchers reported findings from a statistical analysis of existing trends in cervical cancer worldwide by using high-quality cancer registry data included in the Cancer Incidence in Five Continents series published by the International Agency for Research on Cancer. They then used a comprehensive and extensively validated simulation platform, Policy1-Cervix in order to predict the future incidence rates and burden of cervical cancer. They presented data globally, by Human Development Index (HDI) category, and at the individual country level.
Overall, the study shows that more than 44 million women will be diagnosed with cervical cancer in the next 50 years if primary and secondary prevention programmes are not implemented in LMICs.
If high coverage of HPV vaccination can be implemented quickly, a substantial effect on the burden of disease will be seen after three to four decades, but nearer-term impact will require delivery of cervical screening to older cohorts who will not benefit from HPV vaccination.
Widespread coverage of both HPV vaccination and cervical screening from 2020 onwards has the potential to avert up to 12.5–13.4 million cervical cancer cases by 2069, and could achieve average cervical cancer incidence of around four per 100 000 women per year or less, for all country HDI categories, by the end of the century.
The study was funded by the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) Australia, part-funded via the NHMRC Centre of Excellence for Cervical Cancer Control.

[reposted from 9-21-2010] We have had back to back to back holy days commemorating the appearance or disappearance of great saints in Gaudiya Vaishnavism. These include the appearance day of Shrila Jiva Gosvami (sort of hidden by Lord Vamanadeva's appearance on the same day), the appearance of Bhaktivinoda Thakur, and today, the disappearance day of the "namacharya" (great teacher of the glories of the holy name) Shrila Haridas Thakur.
Though I can't do them justice especially in the same essay, at least in this short piece the significance of these great personalities can be brought to your attention, perhaps inspiring the need for more research. So please consider this three blogs in one! Though we don't have to all be great scholars (as was Jiva Goswami), we do need to see life philosophically by being conversant with the basics of a Krishna consciousness outlook on life. Such a perspective will bring us peace and understanding in the current time of great turmoil, violence, suffering and confusion. Even without the difficulties in the larger world situation we all go through problems and reverses that can be seen in light of the Bhakti scriptures like the Gita, Shrimad Bhagavatam and others.
This philosophy as been dubbed by Shrila Prabhupada as the "science" of Krishna consciousness, and we have no greater teacher or philosopher than Shrila Jiva Goswami. One of his great contributions is that he wanted a very safe and prominent place to store all the Goswamis' literature. So he built a library and there all the writings of Rupa, Sanatana, Raghunath das, Gopal Bhatta, and Krishnadas Kavira Gosvamis, were kept safely. Jiva Goswami's library was in the Radha Damodara temple. His major contribution was his own philosophical writings. It has been approximated that he has written more than 400,000 Sanskrit shiokas and over 25 beautiful books like the Satsandarbha, Gopal Champu and others.
Under the instruction of Rupa and Sanatana, Jiva Goswami took the principles of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu's philosophy and like no one had ever done before, he established those principles on the basis of sound philosophy and such strong evidences from authorized Vedic scriptures that he was actually the one that really established the philosophic basis for this movement. This is why we would claim that Shrila Jiva Goswami is the greatest philosopher, and that he demonstrated how our Gaudiya Vaishnava philosophy is the most unique and complete in the world of religious and spiritual thought and practice!
Shrila Bhaktivinoda Thakur was called by a secular newspaper writer during his lifetime, "the Seventh Goswami" after the six principle Goswami disciples of Lord Chaitanya who were responsible for creating the philosophical framework of Gaudiya Vaishnavism and developing the holy place of Krishna's pastimes in Vrindavana. Bhaktivinoda did a very similar thing during his life. World religious scholars should study his life as a significant religious reformer and revivalist of the late 19th century.
There are many Vaishnava lineages which are traced back to the associates of Lord Chaitanya. Although not all bona-fide due to the lack of truly advanced descendants, it was the tradition during the life of Bhaktivinoda Thakur and his son—our gurus' guru, Shrila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakur—that someone would ask you which eternal associate, or "parivara"(family) your lineage was coming from. Shrla Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakur would reply, "Bhaktivinode Parivara" or the line coming from the liberated soul, Bhakitvinoda Thakur. This was Sarasvati Thakurs realization, and not due to his biological relationship to his father. And Prabhupada considered his movement, or ISKCON, the movement of Bhaktivinode Thakur.
Bhaktivinoda was a pioneer in so many ways. For example, he was the first Gaudiya Vaishnava to converse with the Western intelligentsia. He thought deeply on how to interface with modern times, taking into consideration the cultural current and biases in order to make Krishna conscious accessible. His insights have fueled the adaptability of bhakti in varied cultures of the world, by distinguishing form/externals from substance/goal, or rituals and spiritual essence. We in turn have to understand this in order to keep Krishna consciousness vital and not stagnant, as so often happens to religions which institutionalize the founder.
In short, Bhaktivinoda Thakur is responsible for reestablishing Shri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu's sankirtan movement which had become almost extinct by the mid 19th century. Due to sahajiya influence (false sentimental sects that lack scriptural understanding), the mission had deteriorated greatly, and later, by the policy of the British, it was further perverted. Through his tireless efforts, however, the Thakur restored the purity, prestige and respect of the Vaishnava creed amongst the cultured gentlemen of his day. He foresaw the worldwide spread of Krishna consciousness, and laid the seeds for that future propagation as above mentioned. Today's devotees of Krishna are the testimony to this!
His books are essential reading for furthering our understanding of Krishna conscious as confirmed in many places in Shrila Prabhupada's books. It is recommended that we have a firm foundation in Prabhupada's writings. Then we won't be confused but will find great inspiration in Thakur Bhaktivinoda's writings, noting his slightly different, though philosophically consistent explanations. We must remember that preaching is according to the time, place and circumstances that devotees find themselves in. Our Prabhupada didn't appear in a vacuum, but in a line of disciplic succession. We have one "siddhanta" or conclusion of the Krishna conscious philosophy, but different religious expressions due to the spiritual feelings of the great teachers.
Bhaktivinoda left us innumerable songs and books to help us in our spiritual advancement. Relative to our discussion, he gave us the "Harinama Cintamani" which is a book complied from the teachings of Haridas Thakur. Here is a short sketch of his life from the introduction of that book. I hope you will find out more about our great teacher of the holy name, or Namacharya.
5. One day, after bathing in the sea, Lord Caitanya met Haridasa Thakura under a siddha-bakula tree. Happy at heart, He earnestly asked, "How may the conditioned souls be easily delivered?"
6. Weeping and weeping, and the hairs of his body erect, and humbly grasping the Lord's feet, saintly Haridasa said, [Master, Your pastimes are very deep.
7. "I am very poor. I have no wealth of knowledge. Your feet are my only wealth. O master, what good result will You gain by suddenly asking this question of such an unfit person?
8. "You are the Supreme Lord Krsna. To deliver the conditioned souls You have descended to Navadvipa. Please be merciful. Please be kind. O Lord Gaura, please protect me. Please make my heart blossom with happiness.
9. "Your names have no end. Your transcendental qualities have no end. Your form is an ocean of bliss. Your pastimes have no end. Please be merciful and allow this sinner to relish the sweetness in them.
10. "You are the spiritual sun. I am a single ray of Your sunlight. You are the master. I am Your eternal servant. The nectar of Your feet is my wealth of pleasure. My desires rest on the nectar of Your holy names.
11. "O master, I am fallen. How will I know what to say? Still, I must obey Your command. The words You place in my mouth I will happily speak. i will not try to judge their virtues or faults.
12. "Lord Krsna is the one Supreme Personality of Godhead. There is no other. His every desire is always fulfilled. He is eternal. He is the master of all potencies. He is greater than the greatest.
77. "O Supreme Lord, thinking how to benefit the conditioned souls, in Kali-yuga You descended to this world with the holy name.
78. "You taught that nama-sankirtana (chanting of the holy name) is the yuga-dharma (religion of the age). By following this direct path of chanting the holy name, the conditioned souls attain a great treasure of love for Lord Krsna.
79. "Simply by chanting or remembering the holy name the conditioned souls will become delivered.
80. "In chanting the holy name the goal and the way to attain it are not different.
81. "In this path there are no obstacles in the way to attain the goal. O Lord, by Your mercy the conditioned souls easily attain the goal.
82. "I am fallen. I am plunged in an ocean of material sense objects. O Lord, I am such a fool that I did not worship Your holy name."
83. Sighing and tears streaming from his eyes, Brahma-Haridasa fell before Lord Chaitanya's feet.

World observes 500th death anniversary of Leonardo da Vinci
There are three classes of people. Those who see, those who see when shown and those who don't see, said the painter, sculptor, architect, scientist and inventor who inspired the likes of Steve Jobs
Leonardo da Vinci (Social Media)
Nhs Special Correspondent
Published: 2 May 2019, 4:38 PM
There are three classes of people, Leonardo da Vinci (Leonardo from or of Vinci) is believed to have observed. There are those who see and then there are those who see when shown. Finally, there are those who do not see.
There is no doubt to which class he himself belonged. An illegitimate child, formal education was barred to him. He never learnt Latin, in which most classical texts were written in Europe. He taught himself. He used his eyes, his hands and his remarkable mind to see and grasp what others didn't. He taught himself mathematics, geometry, engineering drawing, botany and geology.
He also dissected cadavers, visited slaughter houses and cut open dead bodies to see how the organs functioned. He observed the flight of birds and asked how they flew. He wondered how a woodpecker's tongue would look. And he dissected the dead body of a pregnant woman to understand how a foetus is formed.
When Steve Jobs called up Walter Isaacson and pleaded that the celebrated writer should work on his biography, the writer journalist, who had written biographies of Benjamin Franklin, Einstein and Henry Kissinger was surprised. Jobs, who knew he was dying, persuaded him to start working on the project without telling him how serious his ailment was. One of the first statements Jobs made when they met, Isaacson recalled, was that he had been inspired by Leonardo da Vinci.
The painter of Mona Lisa died in 1519 on May 2. Five hundred years later, he continues to create ripples. His first biography was published in the 16th century and Isaacson's biography came out in 2017. One of Leonardo's paintings Salvador Mundi was authenticated as his work only by 2016 and fetched in an auction over $400 million, or approximately 2,794 crore in Indian Rupees. Renewed attempts are being made to make Leonardo's notebooks available online for scholars. A staggering seven thousand pages of his notebook have survived but only 40 odd pages are said to be available online or with collectors like Bill Gates.
While the world rediscovers the polymath, Isaacson recalls Jobs saying that Leonardo's statement that ultimate beauty lay in simplicity had inspired him in Apple. Leonardo's conviction that the arts were connected to science and nature, that everything in this world is connected, that it is important to understand anatomy, botany, engineering and even mathematics in order to create a work of art also impressed Jobs.
Both Leonardo and Jobs belonged to that special category of people who dared to dream, who allowed their imagination to soar and blend their understanding of the world with their creativity.
Not too many paintings of Leonardo have survived. Art historians put the number at around 20. This is probably because he was a perfectionist and did not complete many of the paintings that he started. "He was more interested in conception than in execution," quips Isaacson before pointing out that he carried Mona Lisa for 16 years and the painting, presumably still unfinished, was in his bedroom when he died in France.He started painting Mona Lisa in 1503 when he was 51 years old. And when he died in 1519, it was still unfinished.
Nobody quite knows how many hours he spent on that one painting. But one can imagine Leonardo asking himself questions like, what is a smile? How are smiles different? What do they convey? Can different smiles convey different shades of meaning or emotion?
One is fairly confident in presuming the questions because his notebook reveals a man of insatiable curioanding of the world with their creativity. sity, one who incessantly asked questions— starting from why the sky is blue, Leonardo worried if the same set of facial muscles drove the lips as well as the eyes—both needed to form a smile. While the painter clearly wanted to depict happiness and tranquility, the smile on Mona Lisa's lips is both enigmatic and alluring.
Mona Lisa, which was part of the royal collection of King Francis of France and later found a place in Napoleon's bedroom, became a French national treasure after the Revolution. But its popularity grew after the painting was stolen in 1911. The media outcry did not allow the culprits to sell it and the painting was recovered from Italy two years later.
Leonardo grew up in a period of political turmoil in Italy. Each city was virtually independent and the local ruler, a Duke, enjoyed both political as well as financial power. This was also a period of religious unrest and protests against the Vatican and the Catholic Church were growing. The cities were often at war with each other even as the period witnessed invasions by France, Germany and Spain.
Therefore, when Leonardo chose to leave Florence for Milan and sought a job there, his job application highlighted his ability to make weapons of war. That was because the rulers in Florence, the Medici family, were bankers and patrons of the arts. But the rulers of Milan at the time, the Sforza family, were warriors.
It was nevertheless a paradox because Leonardo was a vegetarian and did not approve of either slaughter of animals or war. But his job application to the Duke of Milan, all of eleven paragraphs, were all about his skills in fortifying the defence of the city and his ability to make military equipment. It was only in the last paragraph that he mentioned, almost as an afterthought, that he was also a painter.
Art historians have agonised over Leonardo's distractions. If only he had concentrated on his paintings, they suggest, the output would have been more and the world would have been richer. But other scholars have been quick to point out that Leonardo in that case would not have been Leonardo!
He would not be hailed then as one of the pioneers of modern medicine. He would not be credited with inventing the aerial views long before drones. He would not have invented cranes and movable bridges or the parachute and scuba gear. Long before the aircraft was made, his drawings and sketches confirmed his belief that it was possible to make flying machines. He is also known to have manufactured what is said to be the world's first helicopter! It was a contraption that was used in the theatre to bring angels down to the stage.
Leonardo da Vinci also left drawings of tanks and armoured cars long before they were made. But while the rulers of Milan benefitted from his expertise, they lost the war to France. One of the largest bronze sculptures that the artist was commissioned to make, an equestrian statue of a late ruler on horseback in battleground, was never made because of the French invasion. Some 60 tons of bronze that Leonardo was to use had to be surrendered for manufacturing cannon balls. And the clay model that had been put up in the palace grounds was destroyed when the French troops used it for target practice from afar.

Legitimate rape comment draws ire of Democrats and Republicans
By Greta McClain Aug 20, 2012 in Politics
Saint Louis - Missouri Republican Rep. Todd Akin, appearing Sunday on The Jaco Report on FOX 2, responded to a question regarding abortion in the case of rape by saying "If it's a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down."
Viewers of the show seemed shocked when Akin said "From what I understand from doctors, pregnancy from rape is really rare. If it's a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down." The statement has caused a public outcry from both sides of the political spectrum, with fellow Republicans publicly disagreeing with Akin's statement. Presumptive GOP Presidential Candidate Mitt Romney said "Congressman's Akin comments on rape are insulting, inexcusable, and, frankly, wrong." "Like millions of other Americans, we found them to be offensive," Romney continued. Cindy McCain, wife of Sen. John McCain, tweeted "Rape is rape Mr. Akin". Mass. Sen. Scott Brown issued a statement saying "As a husband and father of two young women, I found Todd Akin's comments about women and rape outrageous, inappropriate and wrong. There is no place in our public discourse for this type of offensive thinking. Not only should he apologize, but I believe Rep. Akin's statement was so far out of bounds that he should resign the nomination for US Senate in Missouri." Brown has even suggested Akin give up the nomination for the Republican Party in the Missouri Senate race.
U.S. Senator Scott Brown of Massachusetts
Although Akin issued an email statement later yesterday stating he "misspoke" and that "In reviewing my off-the-cuff remarks, it's clear that I misspoke in this interview and it does not reflect the deep empathy I hold for the thousands of women who are raped and abused every year", the whirlwind of controversy continues. But, despite the overwhelming dismay and anger his comments have generated, during the Mike Huckabee's radio show, Akin insisted today he would would not step down and would remain in the race.

Dr Rade Panić, Anaesthesiologist And President Of The Union Of Doctors And Pharmacists Of Serbia
The Pandemic Exposed All Health System Flaws
The consequences of COVID-19 have so far led to the deaths of 111 doctors, pharmacists and dentists in Serbia, while the number of nurses, technicians and other healthcare employees who've lost their lives remains unknown. Such statistics are just one of the many symptoms of the fact that the pandemic was met without a plan and wasn't responded to well.
When we found out last December that the epidemic that had appeared in China would spread to encompass the whole world, we were, unfortunately, good prognosticators. We announced, as a union, that it would expose all the shortcomings of the healthcare system. The consequences for public health are already great, and we are afraid that they'll be even greater in the future. From the outset we didn't have sufficient numbers of health workers, not even as many as are prescribed and required by the Law. Under such conditions, unfortunately, the Ministry didn't respond to our first request to hire all doctors, nurses and technicians registered with the unemployment bureau.
We had a lack of protective equipment, which was initially very pronounced and subsequently grew to become chronic, while we were confronted by ignorance and a lack of information about what kind of tests are done for coronaviruses and whether they are conducted according to indications or some other criteria. Likewise, the workers who were hired at COVID units weren't adequately transferred and no consideration was given to maintaining the capacity of the healthcare system.
In the midst of the pandemic, public consultations were organised on a new plan to optimise the network of healthcare institutions in the republic of Serbia which, in the opinion of the union of doctors and pharmacists, would be disastrous for the healthcare sector.
We should add to this poor organisation, the fact that acting directors of health institutions thought more about keeping their position during the epidemic than they thought about organising healthcare, which was particularly aggravated during the epidemic, then they thought more about the forming of illegitimate bodies, such as the crisis headquarters, instead of the Republic Expert Commission and respecting the authority of the Batut Institute for public health, as well as the failure of Health Minister Zlatibor Lončar to take all necessary steps. All of this led to us ending up with the pandemic having major consequences, to the false reducing of figures for both those who have succumbed and those who are newly infected, although we are probably among the worst in the world.
When it comes to the deaths of health workers, The consequences of COVID-19 have so far led to the deaths of 111 doctors, pharmacists and dentists in Serbia, while the number of nurses, technicians and other healthcare employees who've lost their lives remains unknown. Our fear is that the announced optimisation of healthcare, the public debate on which has been faked more than conducted during the epidemic, will lead to us not only suffering from the consequences of the epidemic, but suffering even more from bad reform. We consider the proposal to privatise public healthcare as disastrous for the inhabitants of Serbia. We have submitted our proposals and will continue to do so. The Ministry, unfortunately, doesn't respect us, despite us having 6,700 members among the 19,500 doctors who are employed in the state healthcare system. We consider ourselves an obligatory negotiator, as the holders of jobs in a domain of general social importance, and we are seeking urgent insight into the numbers and the database of the deceased and new patients. We also consider that the public debate on health optimisation should be extended and the current proposal should be abandoned, as it is harmful.

Get to know the candidates: Abdul El-Sayed
Posted 9:08 PM, June 10, 2018, by Ahtra Elnashar, Updated at 12:06PM, June 11, 2018
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich.-- Born and raised in Michigan, Dr. Abdul El-Sayed says his bid for governor is about building a state where everyone has an equal shot at building their best, most dignified life.
FOX 17 will be bringing viewers features on each major candidate for governor through an in-depth, personal look at the people behind the ballot. El-Sayed is the first candidate in the series.
"All of who I am is who I am, and I haven't changed a single thing about myself to run," El-Sayed tells FOX 17.
El-Sayed was raised by his father, an Egyptian immigrant, and his step-mother, a native of Gratiot County, Michigan. He was captain of his high school football, wrestling and lacrosse teams. He went on to play lacrosse for the University of Michigan, where he earned his bachelor's degree. He became a Rhodes Scholar and earned a doctorate from Oxford University and a medical degree from Columbia University. At only 30 years old, he served as the health director for the city of Detroit.

"My work in public health has always been about how we provide people access to a healthy life," El-Sayed says.
El-Sayed's signature issue is healthcare. This week he introduced his "Michicare" plan, a single-payer healthcare plan, which El-Sayed says will be paid for by tax revenue and federal healthcare dollars while eliminating out-of-pocket costs and lowering the cost of auto insurance.
"Insurance companies are just middle men. Every time you want care, you have to call them and fight them for something you already pay for," El-Sayed says. "Businesses save money, individuals save money, all of us get healthcare. It makes sense."
The candidate stopped in Grand Rapids on Sunday to meet with supporters who got to see the man behind the candidate, one passionate about family and coffee, inspired by Teddy Roosevelt, Martin Luther King Jr., and his wife Sarah.
Just two weeks after launching his campaign, El-Sayed and his wife found out they were expecting. Their daughter Emmalee, now six months old, keeps him smiling through long days on the campaign trail. "She has been the greatest gift," El-Sayed says. "She both reminds me why I'm doing this, and knowing the moments that she smiles can kill any and all of my stress."

Trying to keep a sense of normalcy while working non-stop on his campaign, El-Sayed says his current Netflix queue consists of Ugly Delicious and Bobby Kennedy for President.
After visiting well over 100 cities in a state that voted for President Trump in 2016, El-Sayed is aware of the uphill battle in front of him. "I've always believed that this movement had to be about all of us, not just me, and I'm so thankful that all of these folks feel a part of something and believe in our politics again," El-Sayed says. "I think a lot of people were really frustrated about what happened in 2016."
He's seen firsthand the downside of politics, facing attacks about his religion. Still, El-Sayed says he embraces his Muslim faith.
"I spent a lot of time really understanding myself in the context of a world where I was always a little bit different, right? In the U.S. I am the Egyptian guy who's Muslim, and in Egypt I was always the American guy," El-Sayed says.
Rather than deny his roots, El-Sayed says his faith informs his bid for governor. "As a Muslim, I was raised to believe that my faith was about fighting for justice and building a world where everybody had a great shot at their best, most dignified life," El-Sayed says.
The Michigan primary election is August 7.

The only thing that should be known is he advocates government theft and violence over what you earn, your private property and personal choices. Their is nothing trendy about socialism and the millions of deaths it has caused. Government force is not compassion and is no substitute for charity. Vote libertarian, vote for peace and true compassion that is voluntary actions between free people.

[Photos] In a H'Mong Village, Harvest Time Is When Perseverance Pays Off
Tuesday, 17 March 2020.
Written by Mark Ratcliff. Photos by Mark Ratcliff.
Tending to a crop takes dedication. Workers are subjected to early mornings, sore bodies and weary minds. However, after all the trials and tribulations, harvest time — the world over — is usually a time of great joy.
While traveling around Vietnam, getting out into the countryside provides some amazing insight into how agricultural communities in Vietnam have developed resilience, even in the face of harsh conditions.
The corn harvest comes only once (sometimes twice) a year to this village of ethnic H'Mong in the Central Highlands. Even with high rainfall, they often struggle with productivity in the fragile and malnourished mountain soils. As primary producers in a complex supply chain, the farmer's income remains incredibly low and inconsistent.
Despite this fact, the joyful atmosphere around this flurry of noisy and chaotic work was hard to ignore, and it's difficult not to get drawn into these kinds of events.
After being stripped, these dried corn kernels were bagged and left beside the pile of husks. Later on, the corn is dispersed as chicken feed to large farms in the region.
At harvest time, every household in this part of the village comes down to help, including the kids.
It's a noisy and chaotic scene that somehow remains neat, organized and harmonious.
This older girl seemed to be responsible for keeping the younger kids away from the heavy machinery.
The older children try to help in whatever way they can. Most of the time, despite their best intentions, the younger ones just get in the way.
Of course, kids work a lot slower than adults, but they enjoy the excitment and action a little more than the adults.
This girl was enjoying her break by playing a game resembling marbles in her large bowl of kernels.
Kings and queens of the hill.
Proud of their village's harvest and, despite mucking around in a nearby river for most of the process, a job well done.
Top photo: An extra hand (or back) is needed for certain tasks in this hectic but orderly process.

Hong Kong boasts of a 350 kilometre long coastline. It is a 'ria' coastline, partially submerged and highly irregular in shape. Hong Kong's geographical background, with super volcanoes erupting millions of years ago has given the country an interesting topography.
The two main types of coastal settings that can be spotted on the beaches of Hong Kong are erosional, formed due to erosion, and depositional, formed due to sediment accumulation. The erosional settings include caves, stacks, arches, sea cliffs and headlands. The depositional settings on the other hand are listed as tidal flats, beaches, fan deltas and valley deltas.
Hong Kong has a lot to offer when it comes to beaches. Hong Kong is mainly divided into three broad regions: Hong Kong Island, Kowloon Island and The New Territories.
Some of the most popular beaches fall on Lantau (meaning Rotten Head) which falls under the New Territories and outlaying islands region. It is the largest island, not just in the New Territories, but in all of Hong Kong. In fact, it is almost double the size of Hong Kong island!
Tian Tan Buddha or The Big Buddha, a 34 metre tall bronze Buddha statue, crowns the hills of Lantau.
Lantau offers an inexhaustible array of beach life experiences, no matter what you're looking for. Lantau is also home to the famous pink dolphins of Hong Kong, where regular tours run to spot the dolphins in their natural habitat.
The Silvermine Beach falls in the Mui Wo area, also known as the Silvermine Bay, so called because of an actual silver mine that existed in the area around the nineteenth century. Remains of this mine and watchtowers that residents built to prevent attacks from pirates still exist in the area.
The Silvermine Beach falls at the foot of Lantau Hills and is the easiest to reach from the ferry port of Mui Wo. The beach has scenic views of the hills and a decently sandy coastline with pebbly patches, making it ideal for playing volleyball, having a lazy stroll down by the waters or indulging in a friendly kite flying challenge!
The area is also bustling with waterfalls, of which the eponymous Silvermine waterfalls are the most easily accessible. The surrounding hills in this charming coastal area also provide a perfect opportunity to hike, on trails overlooking the beach. You can enjoy the scenic hike from Mui Wo to Discovery Bay.
Discovery Bay, which lies on the northeastern coast of Lantau, is a privately owned residential development. People from many different nationalities have chosen this area to make their home. Discovery Bay has an impressive 400 m long beach which also features a golf club and a marina. It is also home to the very popular Dragon boat races, which are held in the months of May and June.
The beaches in the area (which include Tai Pak Beach, an artificial beach lined with trees) are fully equipped for beach and water sports like swimming, volleyball, cricket, rugby, and more. The shoreline also provides magnificent views of the fireworks from Disneyland, Hong Kong. Apart from Dragon Boat races, Easter egg hunts are also celebrated in a big way at Discovery Bay.
The beaches falling in the Cheung Sha region, or the Cheung Sha Beaches, lie on the southern coast of Lantau Island. There are two major Cheung Sha beaches: the Upper Beach and the Lower Beach. These beaches boast of the longest stretches of sand in all of Lantau Island, thus earning the name Cheung Sha, Cantonese for Long Island.
The Upper Beach experiences high volume of winds and is therefore considered one of the best places for windsurfing in Hong Kong. Apart from windsurfing, the beaches provide opportunities for sports like sailing, sea kayaking, windsurfing, surfing, wakeboarding and skimboarding.
High peaks adorn the area, resulting in breathtaking scenery. A slightly wilder version of these beaches can also be found in the region: Tong Fuk, which has a rocky shore and wild sand. Tong Fuk lies a little beyond Cheung Sha's Lower Beach.
The Cheung Sha beaches, thanks to the hilly topography of the region, also provide great hiking opportunities. One of the most popular trails of Hong Kong, the Lantau trail can also be followed from these beaches for a day of hiking or walking.
Clearwater Bay: This is a bay lying in the New Territories region of Hong Kong. This beach provides relatively unspoilt beqch experience with hills and peaks.
Big Wave Beach: This beach is located in the south-eastern part of Hong Kong island, near Shek O village. This beach is often visited for surfing or windsurfing.
Turtle Cove Beach: This beach is a little hard to find but totally worth the effort! This quaint beach is situated on Hong Kong island and remains mostly crowd-free.
Po Toi: Hong Kong's southernmost group of islands are described as a 'self-contained-world'. The Po Toi beaches boast crystal clear water and brilliant hiking trails.

You've been in utero over 37 weeks now. Two nights ago, I started to experience some unusual muscle twinges, as if my body was going through a quick dress rehearsal—or perhaps a cold reading is more accurate, as it was so mild—for the upcoming task of ushering you into the world. I woke every hour for a few hours, feeling a bit unnerved and thinking, "I could wait a few more days; could we just wait at least till Saturday, maybe? I am not quite mentally prepared for an outside baby. I need to write some more for him/her before the veil is pulled away and I see that face." Much to my relief, the twinges faded away, and I managed to get some snatches of precious sleep for the rest of the night.
Now I am trying to scribble at least a bit more to you, because I just so badly want to put more words to paper before I see you (You're probably wondering, "why, Mom? You've written many pages to me already!"). I am eager to begin this life-long process of getting to know you, but there seems so much meaning in this waiting time, and I am awfully glad it's not up to me to press the "start" button on labor and delivery, because I'm not sure I could do it yet. I look to a future with you and feel a little sober and trembly about it all: what have I got myself into? Your life inside of me is so delicate—I can feel it in the softness of your little arm pressed against my belly wall, I hear it in the watery swish of your heart beat and the way you've taken to pressing your little hands down against my pelvis. Many times you feel like a piece of rock in my abdomen, a steady little soul who has yet to make any frantic movements. But at the same time, you also seem so breakable: from the start of it, your life has felt like a blossom in my open hand, protected from devastating wind or disease, not because of my vigilance or knowledge, but ultimately because of God's mercy. (Hardly a week of your life has passed where I haven't thought of so many empty wombs and lost lives, all these also under the umbrella of God's mercy, yet it is a more difficult one.) You are held together by the Word.
I think of my own imperfect nature, and I want to weep at the thought of you, so fresh to this world, so vulnerable, so at the mercy of a pair of newbies. You didn't choose us, yet you are being entrusted to us for a little while, for better or for worse. (I will be the first to admit that it seems an unfair deal for you.) I shuddered about this when I started to love your father, too. How heartbreaking it is to me that those closest to me, those who I love most dearly, will have to suffer through my imperfections. How I wish I could guarantee you a mother who would never hurt you with her own brokenness.
It looks like the big change is coming: that soon day when you take your first breath. And yet it isn't as if your life hasn't already started. It isn't as if you haven't begun to change me, from that December day when we noticed my hands were strangely warmer than your dad's, when I started exceeding my usual seven-hours-a-night sleep needs by about four or five more hours and could no longer stomach a warm boiled egg. In the same way I resisted the idea of getting together with your dad, I had to lay my notions of independence on the altar all over again before your life was even conceived. And I've had to keep laying it down, because if there is one thing that has been stripped from me during the course of this pregnancy, it has been my autonomy. God has used you to change me, and I am thankful.
Being your mother has thus far been the most physically taxing endeavor of my life, and it's with no small degree of fear and trembling that I look ahead to what is promised to be exponentially more weariness and sleepless nights. If this motherhood gig were just my idea, I would likely be regretting it right about now, or at least filled with panic, because change is scary and so uncontrollable, and being a mother makes me feel like I'm about fourteen years old. I am weary, but I am also utterly assured that your entry into this world is exactly what God has intended, for this time in history, for you, and for your dad and me.
… and for the privilege of loving you now in darkness, as I love Him, waiting eagerly to drink in my first glimpse of that sweet, sweet face.
Oh Breanna – again your words are so eloquent. God truly has gifted you with a wonderful way to express the whole picture! Your prose reminds me of the Psalms. And because you write this way, I see your heart sees this little life in a most precious way. He is with you! Love you.
so much truth here, and as physically and emotionally stretching as pregnancy is, particularly in a third world country, it pales in contrast to what is asked from you in parenthood — the complete abandonment of autonomy or indeed a separate sense of self in order to support and love a blessed new creation who is wholly dependent but asserts its own autonomy, sometimes in ways that take your breath away. At once you understand what our heavenly Father feels when we boldly declare our independence from Him. You bear this child knowing that the severed umbilical cord is only the first step in letting go, and your grip loosens slowly over time until all you can do is wave goodbye.
Breanna, relax, don't over think this. As my grandmother told me, an innocent mother to be at 20. Keep the baby clean and feed it often and all will be well. Glenn was in the Marines and I was alone. I did those two things and consequently spent much time with my baby. Remember your child has no expectations……….. Peace be with you.
Thank you for your unique and gorgeously worded reflections! I look forward to watching your excellent parenting skills emerge!
Beautifully expressed! Your child is blessed with a mother who is so dependent upon her Heavenly Father.

She Was Named After Doctor Who Delivered Her. Today, Lalu's Daughter is Making Her Name as the 'Ideal Beti'

Rohini Acharya with her father Lalu Prasad Yadav. (Twitter @RohiniAcharya2)
Rohini Acharya has earned praise on social media as well as from Lalu Prasad Yadav's detractors who hailed her for donating her kidney to her ailing father
In 1979, Dr Kamla Achari — a renowned gynaecologist and obstetrician in Bihar — made a novel request to RJD patriarch Lalu Prasad Yadav.
Dr Achari, who was employed at the Patna Medical College and Hospital, had just helped deliver Yadav's second child, a girl, through caesarean and was approached by the politician to accept a token of gratitude. Refusing to take any gifts, the doctor had a humble suggestion — the new-born's surname be named after her. It was a request that was readily agreed to and thus was born Rohini Acharya, who has today come to her ailing father's aid by donating a kidney.
Born on June 1, 1979, Acharya is a doctor. She married Shamsher Singh, a software engineer and son of Yadav's college friend Rai Ranvijay Singh, in 2002 and lives in Singapore with her husband, two sons and a daughter.
Before she stole the spotlight for her selfless gesture, Acharya made headlines for taking on the BJP and supporting her family members through posts on social media.
For instance, on March 22, 2020, when Prime Minister Narendra Modi appealed to citizens to bang utensils on their balconies for five minutes to show their support for healthworkers fighting Covid-19, the 43-year-old opposed his plea.
In 2021, when her father fell ill, Acharya announced on social media that she would practice 'Roza' during Ramzan to pray for Yadav's health.
In the latest instance, the politician's daughter earned praise on social media as well as from Yadav's detractors who hailed her for donating her kidney to her ailing father.
Before the surgery on December 5, she took to Twitter and said: "Ready to rock and roll, wish me good luck." The latest update from her brother Tejashwi Yadav said both Yadav and his daughter were doing well after the transplant in Singapore.
पापा का किडनी ट्रांसप्लांट ऑपरेशन सफलतापूर्वक होने के बाद उन्हें ऑपरेशन थियेटर से आईसीयू में शिफ्ट किया गया।डोनर बड़ी बहन रोहिणी आचार्य और राष्ट्रीय अध्यक्ष जी दोनों स्वस्थ है। आपकी प्रार्थनाओं और दुआओं के लिए साधुवाद। 🙏🙏 pic.twitter.com/JR4f3XRCn2
— Tejashwi Yadav (@yadavtejashwi) December 5, 2022
Acharya earned praise from firebrand BJP leader Giriraj Singh, one of Yadav's fiercest critics, who said she had set an example with her gesture.
"बेटी हो तो रोहणी आचार्य जैसी" गर्व है आप पर… आप उदाहरण होंगी आने वाले पीढ़ियों के लिए । pic.twitter.com/jzg3CTSmht— Shandilya Giriraj Singh (@girirajsinghbjp) December 5, 2022
बहन @RohiniAcharya2 आज मैं प्रण लेतीं हूं कि तुम्हारे उपर कभी कोई टिप्पणी नहीं करूंगी।आज तुमने भारतीय बेटियों का सर गर्व से उंचा किया है वह इतिहास में हमेशा याद रखा जाएगा।मैं बस इतना ही कहूंगी जल्द स्वस्थ हो जाओ वीर सूरमा अस्पताल के बेड पर अच्छे नहीं लगतें।— Deepa Santosh Manjhi (@dipamanjhi) December 6, 2022
Earlier, confirming media reports of her donation, Acharya had said on Twitter that it was "just a small chunk of flesh that I wish to give away to my father".
"It is just a small chunk of flesh that I wish to give away to my father. I can do anything for him. Please pray that things turn out well and Papa is fit again to give voice to you all," tweeted Acharya and shared a few photographs of her father on the social media platform, including one that showed her as a toddler on his lap.

Joe Biden has been elected as the 46th President of the United States
Joe Biden has been elected as the 46th President of the United States of America.
The democrat who turns 78 next month, will become the oldest president when he is inaugurated in January 2021 in the North American country.
Biden edged President Trump, who in the days since voting ended has falsely claimed a premature victory and said Democrats were trying to steal the election. The Trump campaign is still contesting the process in several states, and said in a statement Friday morning: "This election is not over."
In a cinematic twist, it was Biden's boyhood state of Pennsylvania that put him over the 270 electoral vote threshold and delivered the White House. Trump had held a wide lead over Biden on the night of the election, but as election officials counted hundreds of thousands of mail-in ballots, the race shifted dramatically in Biden's favor, infuriating Trump and his allies, who knew the President's path to the White House was over without the commonwealth.
In the final days of the race, Biden's team redoubled their efforts to rebuild the Democrats' "blue wall" — and that gambit paid off with Biden winning Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin.
With his win, Biden has become the first former vice president to win the White House since George H.W. Bush in 1988; the second Roman Catholic in U.S. history elected president; and he'll be the first president to call Delaware home.
Kamala Harris has also become the first female vice president of the United States with the win. She is also the first black and South Asian Vice President.
The win has also made President Trump the first one-term President of the United States in 30 years.
