Scientists Spotted The Earliest Dark Matter Ever Observed in The Universe
August 7, 2022 by SunniyaZ
Calculations based on the glow of nearby galaxies have allowed us to learn what little we know about dark matter. However, when we look farther away, the starlight becomes darker, making it more difficult to discern the subtle influence of this most enigmatic of forces.
By examining how murky dark matter masses distort the cosmic background glow, a team of astronomers from the US and Japan have discovered a new technique to shed light on the distant darkness.
Our Universe's entire history is strewn across the void of space like images thrown from a moving automobile. All we need to do is keep staring down the highway to observe a series of historic moments.
Hindrance In Observing The Distant Objects In Space
Unfortunately, the exponential growth of everything hasn't been kind to those earlier photographs, stretching their starlight palettes to the point where they're so depleted of energy that we can only see blazing embers.
Shame we can't see them for what they really are. If those early galaxies are anything like the ones we observe much later in the history of the Universe, then pockets of gravity produced by unknown sources should have an impact on their structural makeup.
The Dark Matter.
It only has the name "dark matter" since it doesn't emit any information about its nature. Most likely, it's some form of mass that resembles a neutrino but has few features. It's possible that it reflects an error in our understanding of how space and time are formed.
The short of it is that we still lack a clear hypothesis for how this event fits into the realm of known physics.
Therefore, obtaining a precise measurement of how those really old dark matter haloes appeared will at least let us determine whether they have evolved through time.
How Can We Calculate Their Mass?
By observing their dim light, we cannot calculate their overall mass, which includes both visible and luminous components. However, it is feasible to make use of the way that their bulk causes the starlight that passes through their surrounding area to be twisted.
With regard to massive clusters of galaxies observed between 8 and 10 billion years ago, this lensing technique is effective enough. However, there is less star radiation in the background to examine for distortions the further back we want to go.
What Other Light Sources We Can Use?
Another light source we could use is the cosmic microwave background, claim Hironao Miyatake and colleagues at Nagoya University (CMB).
Consider the CMB to be the very first image of the universe. The faint radiation that was the echo of light that was discharged when the universe was about 300,000 years old today permeates space.
What Are The Researcher's Observations?
Researchers explore a variety of theories regarding the first crucial stages in the evolution of the universe using minor patterns in this background hum. However, it was the first to use it to determine the distribution of dark-matter haloes encircling distant galaxies and their average mass.
"It was an absurd notion. Nobody was aware that we could achieve this, "says University of Tokyo astronomer Masami Ouchi.
"But Hironao told me after I delivered a talk about a sizable sample of far-off galaxies that it would be possible to use the CMB to look at the dark matter around these galaxies."
Hironao and his associates concentrated on a particular kind of far-off star-forming object known as Lyman-break galaxies.
What Did They Observe?
They examined patterns in the microwave radiation as observed by the Planck satellite of the European Space Agency using a sample of roughly 1.5 million of these objects obtained by the Hyper Suprime-Cam Subaru Strategic Program survey.
The findings gave the researchers an idea of the normal halo mass for galaxies that existed close to 12 billion years ago, a time that was much different from the one we observe here on Earth today.
How Does Conventional Cosmological Theory Differ From New Measurements?
The conventional cosmological theory holds that the spatial fluctuations that magnified the clumping of matter were a major factor in the development of those early galaxies.
It's interesting that these new measurements of the early galactic masses show a lower level of matter clumping than is predicted by the models that are currently in favor.
Miyatake states that "our finding is still questionable." The model would appear to be defective the further back in time you go, assuming it were true.
Existing theories on how freshly baked components came together to create the earliest galaxies may have gaps that can be filled in to help explain the beginnings of dark matter. Even if the Universe's infant photographs are faded, it is obvious that they still have a lot to say about how we came to be.

Vientiane (VNA) – The Vietnamese Consulate General in the Lao province of Savannakhet on May 18 held an incense offering ceremony at President Ho Chi Minh Memorial House in Sayaphoum village, Kaysone Phomvihane township, to celebrate the late leader's 128th birth anniversary (May 19).
Savannakhet is the place where President Ho Chi Minh arrived after leaving Thailand's Mukdahan city to study the situation and launch a revolutionary campaign in June 1929.
Attending the event were Secretary of the provincial Party Committee and Governor of Savannakhet Santiphap Phomvihane, Vietnamese Consul General in Savannakhet Tran Cong Thinh, Vietnamese nationals and corporate leaders working in the province.
Earlier, the administration of the Lao province of Khammouane also held an incense offering ceremony in Sieng Vang village, Nongbok district where the Vietnamese President worked from 1928-1929.
As planned, the Vietnamese Association in Savannakhet will organise a meeting to celebrate the 128th birth anniversary of President Ho Chi Minh on May 19 evening.

A meeting marking the event was also co-organised by the Vietnamese Embassy in Chile and the administration of Cerro Navia district on May 17.
Speaking at the event, Mayor of Cerro Navia district Mauro Tamayo said local people decided to name a park after President Ho Chi Minh to pay respect to the late leader.
He expressed wish to continue working with the Vietnamese Embassy in Chile to hold cultural exchanges and exhibitions about Vietnam.
Vietnamese Ambassador to Chile Nguyen Ngoc Son thanked the district's authorities and people for receiving Ho Chi Minh Monument in the country, affirming that the Vietnamese Embassy in Chile would strive to further tighten Vietnam-Chile ties as well asVietnam-Cerro Navia relations founded by President Ho Chi Minh and President Salvador Allende.
On the occasion, the Vietnamese Embassy in Chile granted several publications and photo books about Vietnam to the Cerro Navia Cultural Centre.-VNA

#IAmNYAS: Evelyn M. S. Litwinoff
Being inspired, inspiring others, and researching the connection between diabetes and obesity? All in a day's work for this Academy Member and mentor.
Many of the most inspiring scientists out there were initially inspired to join the field by others-whether it be parents, teachers, mentors, or friends and colleagues. One of Academy Member, mentor, and PhD candidate Evelyn M. S. Litwinoff's early inspirations was a science teacher who took her lessons to new heights in the classroom. And Litwinoff is now paying it forward by inspiring young women participating in our 1000 Girls, 1000 Futures program. At the same time, she's also spending time researching a possible linchpin connecting diabetes and obesity.
Learn more about Litwinoff, her work, and her inspirations below.
What project(s) are you currently working on?
I work on the role of inflammation in obesity and in the resulting development of diabetes. Despite efforts to change diet and lifestyle, over one-third of Americans suffer from obesity and diabetes, and no effective cure or treatment exists. My thesis adviser discovered a receptor that induces inflammation in the context of this disease. My research focuses on understanding the role of this receptor in fat tissue of obese and lean animals, in order to aid the development of a novel diabetes drug.
Who has been your biggest science inspiration?
I owe my love of science and passion for investigating how our bodies work to my high school biology teacher, Mrs. Gina Paganelli. "Mrs. Pags" explained basic and complex biological theories in a way to make sure you remembered them. I'll never forget the day she stood on top of her desk, opened her arms up wide and said "I am an enzyme. This [the tissue box she picked up and put between her arms] is a substrate." She also had a way of encouraging us to be curious, explore, and think critically without making us feel stupid for not knowing an answer.
What is one of your hobbies (outside of science)?
I love baking challah, a type of braided egg-based bread. It's traditionally a sweet bread, kind of like a brioche, that may be decorated with seeds on top. My specialty is baking challah with special flavors, such as balsamic apple date stuffed challah, fresh herbed challah, pumpkin challah, or fig, olive oil, and sea salt challah.
How long have you been a STEM mentor?
I am a relatively new STEM mentor but I love every moment of it! My first experience started about two years ago when I began mentoring a summer undergraduate student in my lab. Since then, I have helped another undergraduate student gain her first hands-on laboratory experience and after two years working with me, she is about to graduate and enter into a post-bac program abroad.
Currently I am a mentor in the Academy's 1000 Girls, 1000 Futures program where I mentor a high school student who has expressed interest in a STEM career. I attribute my own success as a scientist to the strong female role models I had in high school, college, and graduate school, and I love being able to be that role model for other girls interested in science.
Why do you think mentoring in STEM is important?
STEM fields can contain difficult and demanding jobs and it is extremely important to have a good support network to survive in these fields. There is definitely a "big boys club" that exists that helps men thrive, and we need to create a "big girls club" to provide support for the other half of the worlds' population. I believe mentoring is important in STEM especially for women, so we can help each other with career progression, stress relief, technical support, and in all the other ways that men may not be so willing to help us obtain.
Do you want to help inspire the next generation of scientist? Sign up to be a mentor in one of the Academy's Global STEM Alliance programs today.

 Is San Jose del Cabo Safe? - Is Mexico Safe?Is Mexico Safe?
The laid-back vibe of San Jose del Cabo calls to those looking for something different in Baja. Often referred to as the mellow side of Baja, SJDC offers visitors a slower pace vacation away from the crowds. And while certainly close to the party mecca, Cabo San Lucas and SJDC are worlds apart. Though, that said is San Jose del Cabo safe?
Of course, it is. When compared to most other cities, SJDC is as safe if not safer.
That said, SJDC is like any other city, meaning it isn't completely free from crime. Like many other tourist destinations, petty crime, like pickpocketing, does occur. But worse things can be said about plenty of other cities north of the Mexican border.
And while drug cartels pose a very real threat to portions of Mexico, SJDC has been insulated against major incidents. Yes, there have been reports of violence occurring within the city limits. Though, these incidents have occurred outside of known tourist areas and are rare.
And the local government's response to these incidents has been swift and effective. In fact, after reports of violence began to surface the government created a new police force to increase safety.
Informally called the Tourist Police, the new force's primary goal is creating a safe environment for tourist. The new force, which has the backing of the federal government has been doing just that for over seven years.
And thankfully, they've been doing quite a good job.
The efforts of the Tourist police have made the area safer for everyone, locals and tourist alike.
Even though the Tourist Police have made great strides in keeping SJDC safe for everyone, you'll still want to exercise some caution. Though, this doesn't mean to be wary of every person you meet. It just simply means to treat your stay in SJDC as you would a stay in your own city.
With just a bit of common sense and a healthy respect for the area, you'll find no trouble at all. In fact, the only thing you will find is amazing stories to take back home. That and maybe a tan.
While SJDC's sister city gets more attention from the spring break crowd, the city itself is a haven for relaxation. Though there still is a healthy nightlife, SJDC is more geared to experiencing local culture and taking it easy.
So for those that want to see a new side of Baja, SJDC is the perfect spot.
A stroll through the city brings visitors face to face with Spanish era architecture. This makes for more than a few perfect photo ops.
The picturesque cityscape plays the backdrop to a city proud of its heritage and proud of its arts.
Among the thriving gallery district, visitors can find a city center devoted to presenting the works of international and local artists. Storefront after storefront, galleries offer visitors a chance to take a break from the beautiful beaches and absorb some finer aspects of the culture.
And for those that like to mix art with a bit of the nightlife, SJDC has the perfect night out. The weekly art walk brings out locals and tourist alike for a night unlike any other. There you can walk through the open galleries, enjoying a glass of wine while taking in the open air environment. Perfect for capping off a day of exploration, the art walk shows a different side of Mexico than most see.
Though if a night of mingling with international artists and enjoying cocktails isn't your thing, SJDC still has you covered.
Estero de San José del Cabo offers visitors the chance to break from the crowd while experiencing the only freshwater lagoon in Baja.
Perfect for those that love bird watching or just those of you looking for some time in the great outdoors.
Of course, there is also the pristine beaches of Baja.
With the opportunity to return home with a bit of tan, the beaches continue to be a must-see for everyone in the area.
So…Is San Jose del Cabo safe?
But it's so much more than just a safe place to visit. It's a city that has so much to offer anyone willing to explore its storied streets. And whether you come for the beaches, art, or food, you'll find something to keep back for.
That said, are you ready to experience San Jose del Cabo for yourself?

Koishi is a well-rounded novella featuring romance, a volcano, a Japanese shape-shifter and American woman, goblins, dwarves and a gate to protect. Add in an entertaining and spicy romance and I'd call that a filling tale. I read Koishi on a frigid evening as temperatures dipped to two degrees and for a while I forgot all about a snowstorm named Nemo which covered my world in white. Instead, I was transferred to an island in Japan where a volcano housed a stone dragon shape shifter named Koishi.
I enjoyed how different this story was. Narrated by both main characters, Koishi has an offbeat sense of humor which made him endearing (after awhile). Sandra, the American tourist on a mission to ask the dragon for help to cure her dying younger sister, is meek at first, but she quickly turns spunky. There was such a variety of scenes in this story which kept the pace moving. Koishi has the town believing he is the human connection to the dragon who lives in the volcano. When a pretty blond discovers his secret, he doesn't seem to worry. Sandra is determined to find help for her sibling but her trip itinerary didn't include an attractive shifter she grows to like spending time with.
For its' short length, Koishi packed a lot in this first installment of The Gatekeepers series by Annie Nicholas. Being a stickler for more details and worldbuilding, I did want to see some more about these realms and yet was content with that the author provided. Warring dwarves, a Goblin pet, a treasure-filled cavern, and a love story between a stone dragon and human--that's a lot to keep readers interested. Even the addition of Koishi's mother added to the story's warmth. I liked the myth the author created, especially Koishi's ability (as a stone dragon) to control lava. As for his dragon part, his red scales and claws made him quite easy to visualize. I mentioned well-rounded earlier and the scene where Sandra scrubs his scales had me chuckling.
Different, entertaining and humorous, I enjoyed Koishi and anticipate enjoying the rest of The Gatekeepers stories as well.
Cover comment: There's an abundance of hot male bodies on paranormal romance covers today. This was a great opportunity to showcase that this story features an Asian shifter but I'm not getting that vibe from the cut-off part of the model's face. The addition of his dark hair tied-back and at least a dragon tattoo or hint of scales would have been awesome. Even the title, Koishi, should be darker and more prominent. As it is now, I'm afraid the cover blends in with all of the others out there on the market.
Book source: I received a promotional copy in return for my honest review during a bok tour.
Different sounds good. Thanks for sharing about this one.

Liberal senator refers to refugees as 'fleas'

A LIBERAL senator has described asylum seekers as "fleas" while quizzing the Immigration Department over border protection.
And another Liberal senator has praised the description as "nicely put".
Senator David Fawcett made the statement while responding to Employment Minister Michaelia Cash in a senate estimates hearing at Parliament House today.
Minister Cash had defended the Turnbull Government's track record on border protection by saying it was "still trying to clean up" a mess left by the former Labor government.
Senator Fawcett, a panel member of the estimates hearing, responded: "I'll leave it there, I just question the ethics of nitpicking when your particular group brought the fleas in the first place."
Senator Ian MacDonald said the description of refugees was "nicely put". News Corp Australia
Senator Ian Macdonald, who made headlines this month by defending the Life Gold Pass for retired politicians, laughingly said "Nicely put."
Shadow Immigration Minister Shayne Neumann later called on the senators to immediately apologise for their comments.
"It is beyond belief that a Turnbull Government senator would ever refer to vulnerable people seeking asylum as fleas, and even worse, to have other Coalition senators laugh, cheer and eagerly agree," Mr Neumann told News Corp.
"Senators Fawcett and MacDonald should immediately apologise for their comments and start treating Australia's humanitarian program with the respect and seriousness it deserves."
Meantime, a refugee deal between Australia and the US has stalled under Donald Trump's executive order to review America's migrant vetting processes.
No asylum seekers on Manus Island or Nauru have been vetted by Homeland Security yet as officials have not been directed by the US Government to begin the process.
It's thrown into doubt whether refugees in Australia's offshore detention centres will be resettled in the US in "the next couple of months", as Immigration Minister Peter Dutton claimed last week.
Immigration and Border Protection secretary Michael Pezzullo today confirmed the US vetting process was "poised" to begin but had not yet started.
Mr Pezzullo could not give a date of when the Trump Administration would direct Homeland Security officials to begin the vetting process but said it would be in "the foreseeable future".
It was expected there would be movement to begin vetting "in the next several months", he said.
"It's been made very clear and amply clear publicly that the US system has been directed by the US President to put in place revised vetting protocols and systems expeditiously, so I don't
suppose it's going to take a long time but that's a matter for a foreign government of course," Mr Pezzullo told the senate estimates hearing.
Greens Senator Nick McKim questioned whether the US could simply take none of the refugees on Manus Island and Nauru under the as-yet-unknown US vetting threshold.
Mr Pezzullo responded: "I presume the US potentially could set their threshold so they take no refugees from anywhere in the world."
"The President has indicated that they're looking with this program here to take 50,000 refugees, so I assume they'll have their settings at a rate that allows them to follow through on that commitment," he said.
Mr Pezzullo said the Trump Administration had indicated it would take 1250 refugees, as announced by White House press secretary Sean Spicer, if they passed the vetting process.
Earlier this month, President Trump tweeted he would look at the "dumb deal" which had been made between Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull and former US President Barack Obama.
After days of uncertainty, the White House confirmed the US would honour the deal with its long-time ally.
It was also revealed at the estimates' hearing today that two people trying to claim asylum had been recently deported from the detention centres after having been found not to be refugees.
The two people were deported to Nepal.
Two others had been deported in previous years.

The first reported baseball game in Chatham was played in 1853, on August 31. It was a pick-up game with a bunch of sailors and a few others, and it was reported in the Gleanor because it disturbed a group of church-goers at St. Mary's Church. Organized ball appeared in 1879 when Chatham beat Newcastle 19-12 in five innings. Things didn't really get rolling, however, until 1889 when the Chatham Baseball Club was formed with R.A. Lawlor as President. The team was called the Acmes and they played against teams from Newcastle, Richibucto and Fredericton, winning more often than not.
Since 1892 there had been three baseball teams in Chatham. The Old Stars, The Royal Oakes and the Alerts played each other, and outside teams. In 1907, Daniel Handley of The Stars, had the distinction of striking out 15 while beating Moncton.
The following season (1908) The Stars got themselves involved in a memorable exhibition game in Newcastle against a group of Shiretown boys that added fuel to a running feud between Newcastle's newspaper, The "Leader", and Chatham's "Commercial". The "Commercial" reported the game in the following manner:
Newcastle – Chatham Baseball Game
The Commercial World July 7, 1908
The baseball match at Newcastle on Dominion Day has caused a considerable amount of ill feeling because of the incompetency displayed by the first umpire selected to referee the game, and because of the ignorance and nastiness displayed by the Leader in its account of the contest. But as writer and umpire were one and the same specimen of loud-mouthed blatency, little else was to be expected.
The dispute arose when Newcastle was at bat, with no men out and a man on first base. The next man up was given three strikes, but because the ball was not caught by the catcher, umpire Joseph Carnett declared him safe. This caused the Chatham men to protest strongly, but the umpire would listen to no protest until Herb McLean clinched matters by taking out Spalding's Official Baseball Guide and showing rule 51, section 6, under the umpire's nose. He read, "The batsmen is out, if, while first base is occupied by a base runner, three strikes be called on him by the umpire, unless two men are already out.
This convinced the umpire that he knew less than he imagined and he was disposed. James Watson took his place and umpired the remainder of the game satisfactorily. Owing to the crowd swarming in upon the diamond, the game was much interfered with and no less than five of Newcastle's seven runs were made off balls lost in the crowd. A return game should be played where visitors will be given a fair deal and the crowd kept within reasonable bounds.
In 1910, the "Old Stars" challenged the New Brunswick Champs, the St. Peter's nine of St. John. The challenge was laughed at by the New Brunswick daily newspapers. Laughed at until game time, that is. When the dust cleared from the St. John diamond, the crack St. Peter's squad had met defeat at the hands of Chatham "Stars" and Chatham had its first baseball champions.
In that same baseball season of 1910, a league was formed in Chatham with A.B. MacKinnon as president. The three team circuit consisted of the champion Stars along with Victors and the Y.M.C.A.
The summer of 1914, however, brought on an excellent season of baseball fans. A team was formed from the best players in the town league. On Dominion Day they defeated Newcastle 5-3 and 9-5 in a double header. The second game was won on the basis of third basemen Anthony "Ant" Veno's two-out grand slam home run. Later in the week the same team traveled to Campbellton where all around athlete, Wally Watling's grand slam helped Chatham sweep both ends of a double header. Later they became the North Shore Champs.
The pre-1925 era in Chatham's sports also saw a number of significant individual accomplishments and contributions. Perhaps one of Chatham's best athletes of the era was Wallie Watling. Watling not only performed the catching duties for Chatham ball teams, played on the local hockey squad, captained a local basketball team, captained the town rugby team and competed in track and field events, but he was also Chatham's chief athletic contact with outside towns and the number one organizing talent behind a great number of sporting events and teams. Watling was a true athlete. He played a number of sports and played them all well. He was a key player in the successes of the baseball and hockey championship teams of the early twenties. Later in his life he was elected mayor of Chatham.
Another outstanding athlete was Stanley "Shorty" Veno. Veno was an extremely fast skater. Some considered him the fastest hockey player in the Maritimes. In 1921, he received a tryout with the Montreal Canadiens and was on their reserve list for a couple of seasons, playing in several games.
Stan's brother, the unpredictable Anthony "Ant" Veno, was an excellent baseball player. "Ant" played third base and did some pitching besides. He was the star of Chatham's baseball teams and had such natural ability that some of his contemporaries feel that today he would be major league material. "Ant" also played some hockey and later on he coached Chatham baseball teams and refereed hockey games.

Battle of the bots: Infrastructure robotic systems challenge event in Leeds to showcase the future
26/06/2017 09:21 Leave a Comment
Dr. Bilal Kaddouh pictured with some of the robots that he uses
Experts in the field of robotics and systems will battle it out as ten of the most advanced infrastructure robots and systems currently in development will be put to the test at the UK robotics resilient in challenge event in Leeds.
The event at University of Leeds next month will see the most talented University teams display their advanced infrastructure robots and systems.
Dr. Bilal Kaddouh, one of the coordinators and organisers of the event, will showcase his incredibly inventive systems.
"I'm currently researching at University of Leeds focusing on the design of aerial robotics systems for autonomous inspection and maintenance of cities infrastructure," he said.
"This involves the design of a UAV equipped with tracks, depth sensor and a tar 3D printer nozzle. The UAV will be able to detect cracks and potholes, drive on the ground over the location of the cracks and seal them using the tar extruder currently being designed by UCL.
"This will allow road maintenance at reduced costs and minimise disruption to traffic."
But the doc isn't stopping at one project – he's also working on another system - one which he described as an 'earthmoving site operation management system using a fleet of drones controlling ground earth moving assets'.
Asked what this means exactly, Dr. Bilal obliged: "It's a solution where earthmoving trucks are fully guided by a UAVs. The trucks follow simple operations with no obstacle avoidance sensors and therefore receive all the instructions from the UAVs who continuously monitor position.
"The UAVs navigate several trucks simultaneously and safely navigate them through detected obstacles including other trucks. The UAVs receive requests from various parts of the site for more earthmoving trucks, which are then directed to these areas on demand.
"The system is designed to use multiple collaborating UAVs that are fully instrumented reducing the likelihood of breakdown or failure, while reducing cost of instrumenting a large fleet of trucks.
"It also allows global efficient planning, and safe integration with other human driven vehicles which will be demonstrated during the competition."
Dr. Bilal is also planning ahead and spoke of his planned future research projects he said: "I am looking at the design of UAV with manipulator (robotic arms) onboard that is able to perch on high structures inspect them and perform maintenance tasks at height.
"I expect this to take around two years and beyond that who knows what the future will hold for me."
The event, which takes place on the 27th and 28th of July, is in collaboration with, the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council's UK Robotics and Autonomous Systems Network.
The event is being staged at the EPSRC National Facility for Innovative Robotic Systems. A £4.3 million facility which gives researchers access to a suite of facilities and technologies to aid robot design and construction that is amongst the most advanced in the world.
The aim of the challenge is to highlight the latest research and development projects by putting robots on the conference floor to demonstrate their capabilities.
With a panel of expert judges choosing the winner with the finalists sharing a £5,000 prize to further enable robot improvements.


Hey, all you singles in San Francisco/Oakland, looks like you live in the right place. Our fair city was tops in Forbes 7th Annual Best Cities for Singles Report.
The magazine made this determination using the following criteria: coolness, cost of living alone, culture, job growth, online dating (?), nightlife, number of singles. While we're not upset at this victory, we'd quibble with the notion that online dating, specifically "the number of active profiles in each city listed on dating site Yahoo! Personals", should factor in.
In the past, Forbes defined a city by its "Metropolitan Statistical Area"; now the magazine is defining a city by its narrower "Urbanized Area." Online dating helps to transcend geography -- the study using online dating as a factor flies in the face of this more-focused methodology.
Even with this contention, we'll say, as we often do: everybody loves a list. And everybody loves being pronounced "best." But will everybody love that they decided Mayor Newsom is "Most Eligible Bachelor?" Doubt it. How about "Most Eligible Bachelorette" Marissa Mayer -- a Veep at Goooooogle?
Here's Forbes' Top 10: 1. San Francisco-Oakland, Calif.; 2. New York City, N.Y.; 3. Los Angeles, Calif.; 4. Atlanta, Ga.; 5. Chicago, Ill.; 6. Washington, D.C.; 7. San Diego, Calif.; 8. Seattle, Wash.; 9. Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas; 10. Philadelphia, Pa.
For the extended list, methodology, and bonus articles (including one by the Bay Area's own Violet Blue) check out the extended article.
One more note: in an AP photo on the SF/Oakland feature, unless we're mistaken, there's a young lady that appears to be walking on Cupid's Span. NAUGHTY! NAUGHTY!


Ramsey is a unique fenland town with a rich history spanning more than a thousand years. A day spent exploring its heritage through the centuries is one to be remembered. Immerse yourself in rural living at the remarkable museum, and follow it up by taking a walk through the town itself to discover its many treasures.
In just an hour and a half you can lift the lid on Ramsey's fascinating past. From the cast iron clocktower you will weave your way through churches and past almshouses to reach the Abbey Green and impressive Gatehouse. Lovely vistas and ornate buildings will pepper your walk around the town's landmarks, finishing up at Ramsey Docks and its intriguing water tunnels.
Ramsey Rural Museum is set in peaceful farmland with plenty of green space to enjoy a picnic. Bring one along and the full day could cost you less than £5! The museum's tea room is also a great spot for tea in traditional china cups and a delicious slice of Victoria Sponge. Follow lunch with a quick browse in the museum gift shop.
Ramsey's excellent museum is a fascinating insight into rural living over the last 200 years. Housed in 17th century farm buildings, it is full of variety – from a complete cobbler's shop to a reconstructed, two-room Fenland cottage. Fenland jobs are brought to life with exhibits on farriers, wheelwrights and chemists, plus you will learn how the fens were drained for farming.


It's really a fun experience for me when someone has a little tough time starting his diesel vehicle goes to a supposedly well reputed diesel mechanic with his complaint. The mechanic very promptly says that your engine is dead and needs a rebuild just by checking blow-by.
Our "bechara" guy gives in and dishes out money to get his odd noisy steed fixed and results in same old performance behavior even after the build.
Glow plug and circuit testing.
Injection pump (VE) internal pressure.
Low compression is a dead giveaway of an engine rebuild – but very rarely would you see it required if maintenance is done according to the points above.
It is unfortunate that some workshops like to cheat customers. May be because the mechanics get a commission on every job they do.

Indian Government Promoting Domestic App Koo Over Twitter
By Arvind Datta | February 18, 2021
Arvind is a recluse who prefers staying far away from the limelight as possible. Be that as it may, he keeps a close eye on what's happening and reports on it to keep people rightly informed.
The Indian government is promoting Twitter's domestic rival Koo after the global platform refused to comply with the administration's blocking of certain accounts.
New Delhi claims that the accounts spread propaganda and instigated many people in the country's ongoing farmers' protest to commit violence. Twitter dismissed the claim, arguing that they are only protecting freedom of expression by keeping the accounts active.
Many people criticized Twitter's hypocrisy after it banned several U.S. conservative accounts, including that of former President Trump, on its own accord, citing similar reasons of 'instigating violence.' Trump was acquitted last week of 'inciting violence' in his second impeachment trial, as there was no evidence to support the claim.
Some Indian netizens termed Twitter's refusal to ban accounts in their home country 'racist.' Reason is that the platform freely banned accounts in the U.S.
Others are demanding a complete ban on Twitter in India, citing that foreign media platforms will only work to create more chaos in the country through their support of extreme left causes.
Several Indian government departments have already set up accounts at Koo, including India Post, Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, MyGovIndia, National Institute of Electronics and Information Technology, Digital India, Central Board of Indirect Taxes, and so on.
In a press note, the government stated that though Twitter has complete freedom in formulating its own guidelines and rules, it is liable to follow laws as established by the country. The administration expressed disappointment that Twitter chose not to side with 'freedom of expression' but with those who abuse such freedom to instigate social disorder.
India reminds Twitter that its laws are supreme
"Lawfully passed orders are binding on any business entity. They must be obeyed immediately. If they are executed days later, it becomes meaningless. Secretary expressed his deep disappointment to Twitter leadership about the manner in which Twitter has unwillingly, grudgingly, and with great delay complied with the substantial parts of the order. He took this opportunity to remind Twitter that in India, its Constitution and laws are supreme. It is expected that responsible entities not only reaffirm but remain committed to compliance to the law of land," the press note stated.
Twitter is facing serious competition in India from government promoted Koo (Image: pixabay / CC0.1.0
While the popularity of the nascent Koo app keeps rising in India, some concerns have emerged. One is that Koo is limited to India alone. It does not provide Indian users with the global exposure that Twitter does. People worry that if Koo overtakes Twitter and the latter somehow gets banned, Indian netizens will become increasingly insular.
Another concern is that Koo could be so excessive in its compliance with the Indian government that it would ultimately present its own threat to freedom of speech. Koo chief executive Aprameya Radhakrishna says that such worries are unfounded and they will protect the right to free expression.
"If it's to incite mob violence that will harm human lives, we will definitely have to take some kind of action. If it's just somebody's opinion, we don't have a problem with that," he said to Times of India.
Aprameya Radhakrishna founded Koo together with Mayank Bidawataka in 2020 to connect Indians across several Indian languages. Just 10 percent of the 1.3 billion people in India know how to converse in English fluently. Thus, a microblogging platform that allows people to post in local languages has strong market potential.
The platform recently raised $4 million in early-stage funding and is looking forward to raising more capital to expand aggressively given its fast-increasing user base. The app recently surpassed 3 million users.

Restorative community justice has been called a new paradigm in the field of criminology and criminal justice and it is attracting a great deal of attention nationally and internationally. Community sanctioning panels are a promising example of how this model can be put into practice. There are numerous theoretical and practical issues to resolve when developing these projects. This dissertation is a case study of the Piney Ridge Project (PRP), which was a restorative community justice initiative that utilized community sanctioning panels for youth in the southeastern United States. The implementation and effectiveness of this initiative were evaluated to shed light on the viability of this new approach. Five research techniques were used to collect data: participant observation, surveys, interviews, focus groups, and official data analysis. Data was triangulated from criminal justice personnel, project staff, community members, and the projects' clients. Many lessons were learned through this study. Analysis show that PRP made beginning steps toward realizing key principles of the model, however the project encountered significant obstacles, and shortcomings were evident. It is anticipated that lessons learned from PRP will be valuable for scholars as well as practitioners intending to implement restorative community justice projects. Author's abstract.

Q: Pandoc problem with Azure Pipelines badge in markdown file Background: I have a number of repos on GitHub, which I've recently converted from using Travis to Azure Pipelines for CI/CD. Azure provides a badge that I can put in a repo's README.md to indicate the status of a build. So far, it all works fine, and the badge renders correctly on GitHub.
I've just discovered a problem when I try to convert the README to HTML using pandoc though. For some reason, it turns the badge into an <embed> tag rather than , and browsers choke on this. This is important because the repos are R packages, and when I submit them to CRAN, the README is converted to HTML using pandoc.
Here's a minimal example. I have 3 badges:

*

*The CRAN package version

*The Azure Pipelines badge

*A similar Travis badge

# Test file

[![CRAN](https://www.r-pkg.org/badges/version/AzureVM)](https://cran.r-project.org/package=AzureVM)
[![Build Status](https://asiadatascience.visualstudio.com/AzureR/_apis/build/status/Azure.AzureVM?branchName=master)](https://asiadatascience.visualstudio.com/AzureR/_build/latest?definitionId=7&branchName=master)
[![Travis Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/cloudyr/AzureRMR.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/cloudyr/AzureRMR)

If I run pandoc test.md --from markdown --output test.html, the result is the following. If I open this file in Edge or Chrome, the Azure badge fails to appear.

Test file

  <embed src="https://asiadatascience.visualstudio.com/AzureR/_apis/build/status/Azure.AzureVM?branchName=master" />

Is this something due to Azure Pipelines or Pandoc? The Azure DevOps project is public, so there shouldn't be any problems accessing it. And how do I fix this?

A: There are multiple things at play here.

*

*Chrome refusing to render this is caused by the X-Frame-Options header set to sameorigin in the HTTP response when fetching the image. Opening the console and viewing the page's errors shows

Refused to display 'https://asiadatascience.visualstudio.com/AzureR/_apis/build/status/Azure.AzureAuth?branchName=master' in a frame because it set 'X-Frame-Options' to 'sameorigin'.

The image will therefore not be rendered when embedded in a document on a different domain. See RFC7034 for details.

*The second problem is that pandoc uses <embed> instead of . This has been resolved in pandoc 2.7.3. From the changelog:

HTML writer:

*

*Output video and audio elements depending on file
extension of the image path (Mauro Bieg).

So you can either try to get the X-Frame-Options header removed from the build-status HTTP response, or ask the CRAN admins to update to pandoc 2.7.3.
A third option might be to use HTML to include the badge:

Including HTML in Markdown is perfectly ok, and it will render fine on both GitHub and when processed with pandoc. The downside is that the badge will not show up when exporting to, say, PDF. But having a badge like this statically included in a PDF may defy its purpose anyway, so this is should be a good solution.

One man's twisted love-hate relationship with Salida singletrack.
Trail of Tears? Nah, there's still room for a smile in 125 miles of pain.
I was barely a quarter of the way into the ordeal, and already I was praying for the misery to end. The cold snapped at my gloved fingers and made my pedaling feet throb with pain, and the alpine darkness smudged the blaze of my headlamps to a smolder. Half an hour earlier, I had zinged past a "Caution: Steep" sign and promptly lurched over my handlebars into a pile of bike components and crunching body parts, from which I watched the two riders I'd been trailing disappear into the night.
After a quick once-over, I took up the chase, but my neck was cricked, my bike had developed several pronounced clicks and a sporadic, but unnerving vrrrrt, and my GPS hung from the bars by a half-severed twist tie. Now, with the wind whistling through trees so black that I couldn't see the night sky through them and no sign of riders ahead or behind me, I realized that in my rush to catch up I had lost my way.
The virtue of venturing into the wilderness, I told myself, is to experience its power and test oneself up against its raw immensity. It's the surest way to put life's daily minutiae and trivial frustrations in perspective. You can walk into the wilds distracted and stressed, have a grueling and even traumatic interaction with the natural world, and walk out humbled and renewed.
I told myself all of that—but it wasn't sinking in.
IT HAD STARTED UNEVENTFULLY. Fifty of us had spun out of Salida together at the stroke of 10 p.m. on what then felt like a warm autumn evening, cracking nervous jokes about the obstacles ahead and ramping up the speed as we gained altitude. When the escort car peeled off after 5 miles, the pace spiked and the pack thinned to a sinuous string of headlamps slipping higher into the pines—just another beautiful night ride through big mountains on pristine trail.
Now, alone, dwarfed by creaking conifers and imposing peaks, I tried to reignite that sensation. But it was 2 a.m, and I was slightly lost on singletrack 20-some miles into a 125-mile endurance mountain bike race. The temperature was hovering around 20 degrees, and my right thigh, bleeding through the tear I'd ripped in my tights when I crashed, was exposed to the night air.
My quandary was this: I had purposefully courted this moment. To ride in the Vapor Trail 125, an annual gathering of cycling diehards who want to push themselves on some of Colorado's finest and most remote mountain bike tracks, you must be invited. The guys who organize the event, a rabid and inspired group of riders out of Salida's inimitable Absolute Bikes, know just how punishing the course can be, so they screen participants' racing résumés and only include those who they feel won't imperil themselves. By accepting an invitation, I had tacitly acknowledged the difficulty. This was self-inflicted agony.
I've endured enough long mountain undertakings to know that the key isn't exceptional technical prowess or extraordinary fitness. What you really need is the ability to empty your mind of everything—hope, distress, pain, thoughts of the course ahead or behind, images of a warm, fluffy, duvet-covered bed—and simply continue moving forward. As I blinked in the darkness and wondered where I was, I suddenly remembered this mindset. In an instant, I pulled the dangling GPS off my bars, tucked it in my pack, and set off into the shadowy evergreens, back the way I had come, pushing on each pedal with the precision of a metronome.
THIS WASN'T THE FIRST TIME SALIDA HAD TESTED ME. I've had a secret obsession with this little town ever since college, when my Uncle Tony, a Frisco bike mechanic and local Colorado racer, first visited and told me of it. Reputed as the best wrench in Summit County, Tony Neaves was a sparkplug of a man who, despite being 15 years my senior, still chewed me into a panting mess every time we rode together. I dreaded getting ridden off his wheel but still subjected myself to the indignity as often as I could, probably hoping to someday turn the tables. I never did. And for that I admired him. So when Tony came back from a trip south to ride the then-little-known Monarch Crest Trail and reported that it was the single best continuous stretch of trail he'd seen, Salida became hallowed ground in my mind.
It wasn't until a few years later that I finally made the pilgrimage to the Monarch Crest Trail. On that sparkling June morning, my older brother, Jeremy, and my then future-wife, Jen Judge, shuttled up the hill from Salida and rode the standard 37-mile route over Marshall Pass and down Silver Creek and the Rainbow Trail back to town. Though the trail was as good as Tony had billed it, I remember the day less as a ride than as a series of scenic pit-stops to fix the breathtaking six flat tires we racked up (Jeremy, two; me, four).
With each subsequent mechanical, Jeremy and I grew ever-more infuriated. Three hours stretched to half a dozen, and upon hearing the hiss of flat No. 6, the day crescendoed with me jumping off my crippled bike and, in a fit of Laurent Fignon–inspired rage, lobbing it over a 20-foot embankment into the woods. I used to think it was slightly miraculous that I ever returned to ride in Salida. But I've come to realize that the real miracle is probably the fact that, in spite of clear evidence of my serious genetic complications, Jen eventually married me.
These days, cyclists pour into Salida expressly for the Monarch Crest Trail, which gets almost as many rides as Space Mountain over Labor Day weekend. But what the guys at Absolute Bikes will tell you—and what I've discovered in a decade of visits—is that the Crest might be the area's top attraction, but it's hardly the culmination of Salida riding. Isolated singletrack every bit as good as the Monarch Crest snakes across Chaffee County like a nerve network, endless fire and logging roads beckon to adventurous souls who care to poke around, and faint paths meander over 13,000-foot passes. In the years since that first trip down the Crest, I've returned to Salida annually, both to repeat that premiere descent in better form (and humor) and crash around on the seemingly infinite web of trails.
Five years ago, while contemplating this embarrassment of trails, Shawn Gillis, owner of Absolute, along with store mainstays Andrew Mesesan and Tom Purvis, hatched the plan for the Vapor Trail. "The course was the creation of Andrew, a sort of mad scientist of mountain biking," recalls Purvis, the acting race director, explaining that the route has been refined over the years to accommodate the best stretches of trail. "He never felt that it was sacred or anything. It could be changed, as long as it was big."
Magnitude was no issue with the 2008 route, which Purvis says "was so good, we might just stick with it." The course racked up 20,000 feet of elevation over 125 miles, including an hour-long hike-a-bike over the 12,400-foot shoulder of Granite Mountain, and took riders between 16 and almost 23 hours to complete. And the numbers barely hint at what is arguably the race's most challenging aspect—tackling the first eight hours, including several of the most jagged, testing stretches, in the biting blackness of a Colorado night.
As soon as I heard about the Vapor Trail, I knew that given my ongoing narrative with Salida, I would eventually have to try it. But the decision wasn't without trepidation. If I could flat four times in a gentle three-hour downhill coast, it was daunting to consider the havoc I could wreak in some 24 hours of endurance punishment.
I AM A RELUCTANT AND TORTURED BIKE RACER. I feel more comfortable in the saddle than I do in a hot tub, and I blossom and brim in the heat of competition. But the day ahead of a race I turn edgy, temperamental, and phobic. That's how it was in the final hours leading up to the Vapor Trail, sitting at the coffee shop adjoining Absolute Bikes with Jen and my training partner, Steve, trying to make an Americano last until the start gun. I had enumerated all the parts on my bike that could and would fail, and I contrived reasons why I shouldn't race, from the gathering chill in the September air to the menacing buzz about the massive hike-a-bike section that had been added to the course. Steve and Jen had nodded philosophically. Then they escorted me to the start line.
After the tumble around mile 20 and the ensuing wrong turn that had left me so exasperated, the anxieties had swelled again. But the fact is this: When the pedals begin to spin, the exertion siphons everything out of my head and I can finally relax and savor the sensations of riding. The whirr of gears; the idle murmurs of the rollout; the rising inner heat stoked by the effort. Once you're moving, endurance racing becomes a mindset, and simple, physical toil can clear your head. So I pedaled on. Riding the draft of clear headspace, I regained my two erstwhile companions on the steady narrow-gauge rail route up the Chalk Creek drainage and left one of them spinning behind.
Several friends later told me how dull they found this section. For me, the constant grade and relatively smooth surface of the roads and trail allowed me to churn methodically through the night. At times, steep cliffs rose up on my left and a giant black chasm yawned away to the right. But in the fog of the darkest hours, I hardly even noticed. It's a precious moment when life can be distilled to such simple, fundamental focus.
My reverie was shattered at the top of Tomichi Pass, which I reached by way of a rugged jeep road strewn with loose, skull-size boulders. This marked the start of the hike-a-bike, and when I looked upward I could just make out constellations high above. But the stars were faltering and stuttering; they were the headlamps of racers ahead of me. I groaned and set about clicking and stumbling upward. After an hour of dragging my bike like a carcass up the hillside, I reached the ridge and was greeted by darkness in every direction—that, and a stiff, cold wind. No need to look around; I rode off the other side.
NO MATTER HOW BRIGHT YOUR HEADLAMP, the longer you ride in the night, the more your eyes feel as if they're filled with chalk. Dawn brought the relief of easier sight, as well as fresh energy. At Aid Station 2, a kind-faced man named Fixie Dave lavished riders with breakfast burritos at a pleasant camp cloaked in wood smoke. And though I knew I couldn't stomach solid food, the backslapping reception and the celestial aroma of bacon—yes, it smelled that good—bolstered me.
And still the trails went up and down, grinding 9 miles over Old Monarch Pass to that fateful section of the Monarch Crest Trail. Had my history of flats haunted me here, atop the Continental Divide in blaring sunlight at mile 75, I might have given up the race and sat down and cried. Thankfully, my tires held.
I kept grinding on, feeling slower and number every mile, until I reached my crisis point.
There comes a decisive moment in every epic undertaking, when all the stress and exertion and fatigue boils over. It's the point where I feel as if my body has finally crumbled. This time it hit just after I had shot down a leafy piece of singletrack along Starvation Creek, a descent I remember as a blur of yellowing foliage and creek water spuming under the knobs of my tires. It was mile 85, and a final 2,000-foot climb back up Poncha Creek Road to the Continental Divide awaited me, so I sat down to shed a few layers of clothing. And I didn't get up.
After 15 minutes, one rider passed me; then a second. As I watched them go, I hazily realized I had a decision to make. Unlike all the day-to-day choices we face in life—Waffles or omelet? Spend or save? Hired or fired?—this choice was primal. Man versus nature. Mind versus body. It's as close to the essence of life as you can get without jeopardizing it. And though I felt shattered, my head was intact. I climbed back on my bike and began slowly pistoning up the slope.
Forty hilly miles still remained, but I knew then I would pedal them all. Sixteen hours and 53 minutes after I set out, I coasted to a stop in approximately the same spot where I had started. Jen was waiting, and she dug her shoulder into me to keep me upright and help me off the bike. She poured me an ice-cold Diet Coke. Misery has never tasted so good. •

On The 50 Road Interview and Book Review: Hey Sky, I'm On My Way: A Book About Influential Women by Ilu Ros
Interview by Cristina Saura
Just before launching into space on the Voltok 6, the first astronaut woman, Russian Valentina Tereshkova proclaimed: "Hey sky, take off your hat. I'm on my way!" This phrase would inspire the title of the first book by Spanish illustrator Ilu Ros: Hey Sky, I'm On My Way A Book About Influential Women.
I discovered Ilu by chance while searching online for a portrait of Alma Guillermoprieto. Ilu's illustration of Guillermoprieto was better than any photo I could find for the article. I asked Ilu to loan it to On the 50 Road for my post about the rebel dancer who became one of the most reputable reporters in Latin America. Ilu answered yes and delivered the illustration. Her enthusiasm for what I told her about On the 50 Road surprised me. I knew she felt strongly about the lives of women who opened paths for other women in life.
Ilu Ros is an illustrator from Murcia Spain who has lived in London since 2011. After studying Fine Arts and Audiovisual Communication in Spain she moved to London, England. "At first it was hard, I spent a few years not drawing, but eventually I started illustrating again. I made a website and profiles on Instagram and Facebook." Now Ilu combines her work as a freelance illustrator with a job in a cafe that helps her pay bills. The story of so many young people who have left Spain to discover life.
Her effort payed off. "Lit Riot Press contacted and told me they liked my art. They asked for a book proposal and gave me the freedom to do what I wanted. I wanted to make an illustrated book about influential women throughout history. They loved the idea, and I got down to work."
Choosing the women for the book was difficult for Ilu. "The more I read about women throughout history, the more my list grew, and the more I wanted to investigate more women. I made a personal selection. I chose the women were the most striking, their legacies were interesting, and influenced me."
Featured Art from Hey Sky, I'm On My Way: A Book About Influential Women
Hey Sky, I'm On My Way includes the first woman to travel to space, the Mexican painter Frida Kahlo; the activist and Nobel Peace Prize winner from Pakistan, Malala Yousafzai; the pioneer American aviator Amelia Earhart; the first Japanese novelist, Murasaki Shikibu; the courageous civil rights activist Rosa Parks; the actress Marilyn Monroe; La Gaitana the indigenous heroine of the sixteenth century; the Romanian gymnast Nadia Comaneci; the British singer Amy Winehouse; the African-American activist Angela Davis; the Kenyan ecologist and activist Wangari Maathai; the American anthropologist and poet Margaret Mead; Loïe Fuller, forerunner of the most avant-garde contemporary dance; the Spanish writer and feminist María Lejárraga; and even the mythical girl created by the cartoonist Quino, Mafalda. 27 brave and breakthrough women from different countries and times that make up this illustrated book by Ilu Ros. 130 pages that inspire and move us to action, all these women changed the world!

Q: How to increase Width within a Div using JQuery - Newby I'm trying to make it when the users mouse enters the .container the #facial will slide to the left, pause for a second, and then increase it's width to fill the width of it's container.
Right now the #facial slides properly, but when i try to have #facial fill the entire width it pops out of it's container. Also i'd like it to pause for a moment to show the transition slower from when it enters the middle to when it increases it's width.
Here is my code.
$( document ).ready(function() {
    $('.container').mouseenter(function(){
        // When mouse enters the .container, #facial slides to center of .container.
        $('#facial').animate({right: '122px'});

Mad, son: #23 Wisconsin 87, Iowa 78
The Hawkeyes couldn't keep up their hot opening pace and continued struggling on the boards in their third Big Ten loss
By BoilerHawk@HD_starr Jan 6, 2022, 10:20pm CST
Share All sharing options for: Mad, son: #23 Wisconsin 87, Iowa 78
Mary Langenfeld-USA TODAY Sports
The Iowa Hawkeyes (11-4, 1-3) struggled to keep pace with the #23 Wisconsin Badgers (12-2, 3-1) and could not notch their fifth straight win against them, losing 87-78. Keegan Murray led the way with 27 points but it was Johnny Davis, who had the more impactful statline at 26, 9 rebounds, and 5 assists, who made heads turn.
Iowa's rebounding woes remain, though, and Wisconsin used 14 offensive rebounds to generate 18 second chance points. The rebounding margin ended 43-26, Wisconsin.
The game got off to a hot start as the teams traded baskets up, with the Badgers leading 20-19 heading into the under-12 minute timeout. Unfortunately, the Hawks were stuck in mud while WIsconsin geared up and piled on 12 straight points. They went 5/9 during the stretch while Iowa missed seven straight shots.
Iowa's 8-0 run spurred by really nice Pat McCaffery play was countered with a quick 6-0 spurt from the Badgers, forcing a timeout from Iowa. Unfortunately, Brad Davison impacted the game in Brad Davison ways and drew a foul on a three pointer. Wisconsin entered half up 45-32.
The refs saw the tape and said "hip to hip" contact was why they made the call. Ok.
It went from bad to worse to open the second half, as Wisconsin turned it into a 19-point lead. And then Keegan Murray crashed HARD onto the floor blocking a Davison layup. He was on the ground awhile before going quickly to the locker room and back. Let's see how he feels in a week before declaring him fully healed.
Keegan returned to the court and scored on an inbound dunk on a play that was very fun and nice. Unfortunately it was just two points and couldn't close the gap to less than 13. The Hawks then got in the bonus for the final 11:48 but went just 6/8 from the line after that.
Wisconsin stretched the game to 21 on an end-of-shot-clock three from Davison.
Iowa got it to 13 on a Keegan Murray 3, getting him up to 27 points but Connor McCaffery's fifth foul in the press got Tyler Wahl to the line and the lead back to 15.
For all intents and purposes, the game was over after this as Johnny Davis received a curtain call. Iowa went on an 8-0 run to close it out.
Jordan Bohannon had a night to forget, as he didn't shoot a shot until well into the second half. Though he finished with 12 points - 2nd for the Hawks - it came while the game was in hand for Wisconsin. He went 3/6 from the line, including two straight misses.
Tough game for Iowa's backcourt, in general: Ahron Ulis and Tony Perkins had just 2 points on 1/6 shooting. Joe Toussaint had 6 on 3/5 with 4 assists.
I don't know what to say about the rebounding. They're just not big enough to be as positionally unsound as they are. Hate calling out a single guy, as it's a team-wide problem, but Patrick McCaffery isn't particularly prone to boxing out. The one time he did, he got the board and an over-the-back call on a Badger. Hopefully it leads to more.
Iowa's first half shot selection was tough and they went 2/11 on two-point jumpers.
Hawks went 11/19 from the FT line. Wisky was 16/23.
Bad jersey matchup. Ketchup/mustard should be required whenever Iowa plays a team with red as a color.
Happy not to play Brad Davison again. If that means he lives rent free in my head, so be it. He had 18 points.
This is a brutal camera angle in the USC/Cal game.
Next up: Thursday, 1/13 vs. Indiana

Police, firefighters, doctors, first responders to march against COVID mandates
A coalition of groups including police, fire and other first responders, doctors, nurses, Boston city workers, business owners, students and more are marching again to fight exclusionary and prejudicial health protocols.
The group plans to assemble Saturday, March 5 at 11am at the Ruggles Train Station Rotary at 1150 Tremont Street and to march from that location.
"Boston media has refused to report the fact that thousands of people have protested at the Statehouse and marched through Boston's streets, but we will not be silenced or deterred," said Candice Edwards, one the organizers of the march.
Marchers at this protest are fighting for sound ethical public policy that protects public health without discrimination, educational inequities, job losses and economic devastation for local businesses and families.
"The recent public health policies, implemented in Boston, for only 35 days, caused additional economic harm to businesses, after already taking a hit for 2 years prior," said Jason Rossi, North End restaurant manager.
Morgan Bellamy, a Massachusetts parent said "I am marching because I am sick of the confusion being imposed on our children and our families. I am unable to justify to my son why he is still masked-up in school, when schools across the commonwealth are mask-free after the mandate was lifted. It doesn't make any sense"
Many healthcare workers like nurse Bridget Kearns of Wareham are being forced out or are abandoning healthcare due to mandates and discriminatory practices. "As a health care worker of over 20 years, I stepped forward to care for everyone, without discrimination, through this pandemic," said Kearns. "I am now walking away from health care altogether because I feel I can no longer be part of a system that would deny, shame and bully individuals for making their own informed health decision or honoring their beliefs. I know I am not the only one, as we are seeing an exodus of skilled workers retire early, resign, and seek alternative careers and fields."
The event was organized by Massachusetts Says NO, a grassroots collaborative of other Massachusetts organizations all fighting the same issue: Massachusetts Public health policy must never damage, destroy or discriminate.
