Vegetables that are grown hydroponically are healthier than conventionally grown vegetables. Vegetables grown hydroponically are given all the minerals the plant needs in the correct quantity. They are grown in a liquid solution with the necessary minerals and not the soil. Since soil is also an essential and limited resource, declining rapidly, we should look for alternate methods of growing crops, such as hydroponics. Because of the increased demand for food due to the rapidly increasing population, there isn't enough fertile land to grow enough food for everyone. Hydroponics can make up for the difference and help produce more food to meet our growing needs. The enriched mineral water used for growing plants can be used again for other crops. Since they are not grown conventionally, they are better protected against pests and insects. Hydroponically grown vegetables don't need any pesticides.
They are grown organically without any harmful chemicals. Most of the pests infest the plants through soil. All the tools used while growing vegetables hydroponically are encouraged to be sterilized to avoid any contamination that could damage the plants. Hydroponically grown vegetables have more nutritional value than soil-grown vegetables. All the nutrients required by the plants are directly given to them in the exact quantity needed by the vegetables grown hydroponically, giving farmers precise control over the level of minerals that a plant receives. However, in the case of soil-grown vegetables, farmers can't control exactly how much mineral a plant is absorbing. Farmers who use conventional methods for raising plants need to add fertilizers to ensure all the necessary minerals reach their crop.
The fertilizer is expensive and harmful to the environment. It would be best to opt for hydroponically grown vegetables since they don't require any fertilizer to grow. Growing vegetables hydroponically also requires less water consumption than traditional farming methods. If you buy produce grown hydroponically, you encourage more farmers to start using this technique. You are helping save tonnes of water by just changing what you buy. The growth rate of plants grown hydroponically is much faster than plants grown in traditional ways. Hydroponics allows plants to grow without expending too much energy on an elaborate root system. Plants grown traditionally in the soil need to establish an extensive enough root system to absorb water and minerals from the soil. This makes their rate of growth longer. Hydroponically grown plants can be grown outside or inside a greenhouse.
Hydroponically grown vegetables in a greenhouse allow the farmer to completely control all the factors that affect a plant's growth. It allows them to grow any plant they want during any season. Another essential benefit of hydroponics is that the farmers don't have to worry about drainage problems since there is no soil. Farmers that traditionally grow plants have no absolute control over the soil's pH level. However, the farmers can accurately control and maintain the optimum pH level in hydroponically grown vegetables. Since hydroponics allows farmers to grow vegetables during their off-season, you can enjoy healthy and high-quality vegetables. Since hydroponics doesn't need soil, it can be grown anywhere. Traditional farmers don't have the luxury of choosing any plant to grow since every plant requires a specific soil type.
Agriculture was a family business not too long ago. Now a days, automation, scientific advances and better transportation have allowed for industrialization.
Romaine 1000 is quickly grown through hydroponics. It is much healthier and far less susceptible to any contamination.
Butterhead green that is grown hydroponically is rich in nutrients. They have low calories and high fiber content and are prevalent in salads.
Hydroponically grown butterhead red is much fresher and provides essential vitamins such as vitamins A, C, and K. Growing butterhead red is much faster in a hydroponics system.
Oakleaf green is incredibly healthy for you and provides essential vitamins and minerals. Hydroponically grown oakleaf greens are fresher than those grown traditionally.
Red oakleaf is known for the unique flavor it brings to salads. It would be best to opt for fresh red oakleaf that is grown hydroponically.
This hybrid lettuce is exceptionally healthy and contains many essential nutrients. Hydroponically grown Lollo Bionda are preferred since they are fresher and not contaminated.
The hydroponically grown Batavia red has more crunch and nutrients since they are grown in a controlled environment. It has a much higher quality too.
Lollo Rossa has a higher content of antioxidants than other types of lettuce. Hydroponically grown Lollo Rossa is healthy and safe to eat.
Hydroponically grown Arugula is rich in vitamins C, K, A, antioxidants, and folic acid. They are entirely free of harmful pesticides.
Hydroponically grown Dino Kale is of the highest quality and, since it is produced in a caring environment, has all the proper nutrients.
Curly kale is a great choice for health conscious people as it is healthy and has a unique flavour. You should choose hydroponically grown Curly Kale since it is fresher.
Basil Italian can help you relieve stress. It shows some anti-inflammatory effects. For best quality, you should go with hydroponically grown Basil Italian.

The Winds of Winter is probably going to release sooner than it was expected. And this is the most recent prediction of the publishers which resulted from a bet. And this bet is in regards to George R.R. Martin’s date of publishing of his book, The Winds of Winter.
What was the bet about?
As per the Express (UK), the bookmakers put their bets on 22Bets site. And they speculated that Martin’s book will release by the end of this year. It has been reported that there are 2.7 positive chances that Martin’s book will release earlier than Martin’s tentative launch date.
When is The Winds of Winter going to release?
The bookmakers have said that The Winds of Winter might actually release much earlier. Because apparently Martin is almost done with the book. He still has not announced the release month or date because he still has a lot to finish. But, his target is to complete the book by the beginning of 2020. So, it means that Martin is going pretty fast with the book and the fans can heave a sigh of relief.
The bets on the release date of ‘The Winds of Winter does not appear if anybody searches on 22Bets site. But, the bet was posted so as to determine the fans’ predictions on the release date. The publishers wanted to know what do the readers and fans think about this. As a result, it turned out that many fans were already convinced that Martin will finish the book much earlier.
What did Martin have to say about it?
On the other hand, George R.R. Martin has announced a July 2020 launch date for his book. He made this announcement on his blog post. And he even challenged his readers to put him in prison if he doesn’t meet the deadline this time.

Underwriter Due Diligence – Fact or Fiction – Boca Raton, Florida Fraudulent Underwriting Attorney
Securities and Exchange Commission v. Macquarie Capital (USA) Inc. et al., Civil Action No. 15-CV-02304
SEC Charges New York-Based Brokerage Firm with Faulty Underwriting of Public Offering by China-Based Company
The Securities and Exchange Commission recently announced charges against a New York-based brokerage firm responsible for underwriting a public offering despite obtaining a due diligence report indicating that the China-based company’s offering materials contained false information.
Macquarie Capital (USA) Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of global financial services firm Macquarie Group Limited, has agreed to settle the SEC’s charges by paying $15 million and separately covering the costs of setting up a Fair Fund to compensate investors who suffered losses after purchasing shares in the public offering by Puda Coal. The SEC previously charged the Puda Coal executives behind the offering fraud at the company, which is no longer in business.
The SEC also charged former Macquarie Capital managing director Aaron Black and former investment banker William Fang for failing to exercise appropriate care in their due diligence review. Black agreed to pay $212,711 and Fang agreed to pay $35,000 to settle the charges.
According to the SEC’s complaint filed in federal court in Manhattan, Macquarie Capital was the lead underwriter on a secondary public stock offering in 2010 by Puda Coal, which traded on the New York Stock Exchange at the time and purported to own a coal company in the Peopleâ€TMs Republic of China (PRC). In the offering documents, Puda Coal falsely told investors that it held a 90-percent ownership stake in the Chinese coal company. Macquarie Capital repeated those statements in its marketing materials for the offering despite obtaining a report from Kroll Associates showing that Puda Coal did not own any part of the coal company. According to corporate registry filings in the PRC that Kroll accessed in its due diligence review, Puda Coal’s chairman had transferred ownership of the coal company to himself and then sold nearly half of his interest to the largest state-owned investment firm in the PRC. As a result, Puda Coal no longer had any ownership stake or source of revenue.
According to the SEC’s complaint, Kroll provided its report to Fang, who read it but failed to act on the information revealing that Puda Coal no longer owned the coal company. Instead, Fang circulated the report to other members of the Puda Coal deal team and stated in the e-mail that “no red flags were identified.” Black, who served as one of the transaction directors on the Puda Coal deal, received the report from Fang and read portions stating that Puda Coal’s chairman owned 50 percent of the coal company of which Puda Coal was claiming to own 90 percent. Black likewise failed to act on the information.
The SEC alleges that Macquarie Capital made a net profit of $4.17 million as lead underwriter on the Puda Coal offering, which sold stock to investors at a price of $12 per share. When reports about Puda Coal’s false claim appeared on the Internet based on the same PRC filings that Kroll Associates accessed for its report, Puda Coal’s stock price plunged as low as pennies per share.
The SEC’s complaint charges Macquarie Capital, Black, and Fang with violating Sections 17(a)(2) and 17(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933. They agreed to settle the charges and accept permanent injunctions without admitting or denying the allegations. The settlement is subject to court approval. In addition to the monetary penalties, Black has agreed to be barred from supervisory positions in the securities industry and Fang has agreed to be barred from the securities industry, both for at least five years.

Ford has officially unveiled the new compact crossover PumaJune 26, 2019
The 2020 model year has received very compact dimensions and “tons” of various technologies – in particular, massage seats and the autonomous control system Ford CoPilot360. Puma will go on sale in Europe by the end of the year, no pricing information yet.
Earlier this year, Ford announced a small crossover, and there is no mistake in its connection with the updated Fiesta subcompact model on the European market. Both cars have common features – in the profile of the crossover there are many designer chips Fiesta. The new Puma gets a more round, happier (no, well, you look at it) front end and, of course, the ground clearance rises a little, but anyone who feels comfortable with the current Fiesta will probably feel at home in Puma. At the start of sales, the crossover will be offered either in the expensive version of the Titanium, or in the performance of ST-Line, and the latter clearly looks more sporty.
Ford offers a new Puma with plenty of available technology. In addition to the expected tidbits, such as active cruise control, automatic emergency braking, detection of pedestrians and assistance in keeping the lane, Puma is available with limited autonomous system Ford CoPilot360.
The rear camera with provides a 180 degree view — this function, according to Ford, is the first in this segment, while Andriod Auto and Apple CarPlay services are offered free of charge. Everything is controlled through an 8-inch central touch screen, it is also proposed 12.3-inch screen is used for the virtual dashboard.
Puma’s power comes from the EcoBoost 1.0-liter three-cylinder engine, coupled with a 48-volt hybrid system. Power will be 123 or 153 hp It is said that a diesel unit will be offered over time, but regardless of the engine, all power is distributed only to the front wheels. All-wheel drive option is not available.

Cottage Hill group opposes Capitol Inn demolition
Residents say they’re concerned about a request to demolish a shuttered inn and restaurant in a historic district that serves as a gateway to the downtown Montgomery area.
The Capitol Inn at 201 N. Goldwaithe St. in Cottage Hill has been closed since 2009. The Architectural Review Board will consider a demolition request during a 5:30 p.m. meeting Tuesday at City Hall.
Owner Jim Bohannon said in his request to the board that he spent about $1 million renovating the property in a way that was compatible with the historic district in 2003. He said the recession claimed both the inn and restaurant after about five years of operation.
Since then, he has kept a full-time custodian around to maintain the property, but he said attempts to sell it haven’t panned out and renovation is “unfeasible.”
Cottage Hill Foundation President Johnny Veres said the 1958 structure is “contributing to the character of the neighborhood” but that the bigger concern for many Cottage Hill residents is what would replace the Capitol Inn if it gets demolished. He said some are worried it would be a “suburban-esque” structure that wouldn’t fit with the neighborhood’s character.
“Our concern is that he’s tearing down a historic structure with no real (redevelopment) plan,” Veres said. “If a reasonable replacement plan is presented … we would consider changing our position.”
City records note that the board usually approves demolition requests only when a viable redevelopment plan has been presented.
In this case, the owner didn’t want to move forward with developing concrete plans for reuse of the property unless the board agreed that the demolition was appropriate, according to city records. The board has the option of approving a demolition “in concept,” pending a full redevelopment plan.
Meanwhile, several other development efforts are already under way in other parts of Cottage Hill.
Behind The Heights apartments that recently opened along Maxwell Boulevard, a series of houses are being turned into a coffee shop, a beer garden, startup offices, a learning center and co-working space. A separate group has landed grant money for a soon-to-be-announced redevelopment project near the Five Points hub at the heart of the neighborhood.
The Equal Justice Initiative recently bought property along Caroline Street to build a civil rights memorial plaza. It’s being designed by the award-winning Mass Design Group and is scheduled to be finished this year.
The long-vacant, nine-story Hilltop Arms apartment building now has a “sale pending” sign. That’s the result of a tax sale, meaning there are still hurdles to clear, but representatives noted that there has been redevelopment interest from investors.
Those projects could soon breathe new life into Cottage Hill, and residents want to be sure that the plans for the Capitol Inn fit into that new landscape.
“There’s a picture being painted that development and revitalization is going on in the area, and it has a new momentum and fervor unlike any other time that Mr. Bohannon has owned his property,” Veres said.

A harrowing video has surfaced of a racially charged schoolyard incident that rocked an Ohio community last month.
Kenwood Elementary School in Springfield, Ohio, came under national scrutiny after it was reported that children there were assaulted after refusing to say “black lives matter.”
The incident occurred on Feb. 10 and, according to a police report, involved a number of black students who targeted their white classmates.
The black students demanded that the white students say “black lives matter” and recorded them making the proclamation.
Students who declined? According to police, they were “chased down and escorted, dragged, or carried to the playground” and forced to utter the words.
WKEF-TV has now acquired surveillance footage that shows what exactly went on in the schoolyard.

THE beef industry looks set to be the subject of another Senate inquiry, this time into the timely issue of meat processor power and practices.
Terms of reference for the inquiry are being drafted and will be presented in the Senate’s next sitting.
In their joint announcement of intention to seek the inquiry, Nationals senators Barry O’Sullivan, John Williams and Bridget McKenzie said they wanted to investigate “collusion of buyers, market powers, pre and post-sale weighing and other aspects”.
Senator O’Sullivan said concentration of foreign ownership in the processing sector and ongoing producer concerns about potential market imbalances in the beef supply chain justified the inquiry.
“There were a lot of questions raised about farmgate profitability and price transparency during the recent Senate Inquiry into grassfed beef levies,” Senator O’Sullivan said.
“We must ensure the underlying structures of our beef sector remain strong”
“I have also travelled extensively through Western Queensland since becoming a Senator last year and many producers have expressed ongoing concern over the market powers of the processing sector.
“These Senator inquiries are important to take a closer look at our beef industry and determine the steps we need to go forward.
“We must ensure the underlying structures of our beef sector remain strong.”
Senator McKenzie said beef producers have been challenged by drought, the high dollar, low commodity prices and the live exports ban. They need certainty that they aren’t also dealing with an uneven post-farmgate playing field.
“No-one can explain to a cattle producer why his returns are diminishing yet in the supermarket the retail price for beef has continued to rise upwards of $16 a kilo,” Senator McKenzie said.
Senator Williams expressed disappointment with the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) decision to allow JBS to buy Primo’s Hunter Valley meat processing business.
He believes that competition laws should be reviewed to prevent similar decisions occurring in the future.
“Producers and those in the livestock industry are adamant this will reduce competition,” Senator Williams said.
“I am extremely concerned at the buyers' boycott in Victoria and glad the ACCC is investigating if any laws were broken.
“An inquiry into the red meat processing industry will explore many issues because producers should not be battered from pillar to post.”
The senators hope that the inquiry will be given Senate approval within a fortnight.

Said Evhedi, the President of Iran's Hajj Council on Monday has claimed that a total of at least 4,700 pilgrims have died in the recent hajj stampede tragedy, challenging official figures released by Saudi Arabia, which put the death toll at 769.
Evhedi has reportedly spoken at Iranian TV channel IRINN and stated that the death toll is much higher than Saudi figures.
"We believe that at least 4,700 people died in the hajj stampede and there are at least 3,000 corpses awaiting identification in 21 trucks" Evhedi said, while noting that the number of Iranians who died in the incident has risen to 228.
Evhedi stated that there is almost 250 people missing, and that Iran was 'concerned' about the possibility of the death toll rising.
Meanwhile, Iranian Foreign Minister Emir Husain Abdullahiyan has strictly opposed the idea of burying the dead in mass graves, rather than sending them back to their homelands.
"We will never permit Saudi Arabia do such a thing" he said.
Amid the proxy war between Tehran and Riyadh taking place in Yemen, Iraq and Syria, the stampede that left hundreds of dead increased tensions between the two countries as most of the dead hajis Iranians.
Iran on Saturday vowed to take international legal action against Saudi Arabia's rulers over the crush of Muslim pilgrims during this year's hajj.
"Under international law, this incident is absolutely subject to prosecution. The Al-Saud must be responsive," Iran's State Prosecutor Ebrahim Raisi told state TV, referring to Saudi Arabia's ruling family. He said Saudi authorities blocked a road used by hajj pilgrims to allow a royal convoy to pass through, causing the deadly convergence in the town of Mina on the outskirts of Mecca. "They have to know that we will pursue the trial of Al-Saud for the crime they have committed against the hajj pilgrims through international courts and organizations."
Neither Iran nor Saudi Arabia is a state party to the International Criminal Court, and only the court's prosecutor can file charges. Iran could try to file a case at the International Court of Justice, which handles disputes between nations but does not mete out criminal justice.

Now known as Spotify Live, the platform will bring Spotify’s live capabilities directly on to the Spotify app.
Spotify says this change reflects its “belief in the future of live-audio creators and live experiences being provided to all 406 million Spotify listeners around the globe”.
Spotify Live can now be found both as a stand-alone app, and as a livestream function in the Spotify app alongside music and podcasts.
Listeners will be able to tune in to live programming on Spotify via the creator’s podcast or artist page, and can participate in chats using the Spotify Live app.
Live audio in the Spotify app is currently only available for original programming, while independent creators who wish to go live can still do so in the Spotify Live app, Spotify detailed in a blog post.
Spotify told TechCrunch that “live listening in the main Spotify app will not support the interactive features, like audience questions,” but it will instead allow “creators to interact with their audience in real time and serve as a creation mechanism for hosts”.
During the pandemic, Locker Room’s competitor Clubhouse proved to be a valuable tool for conversation, and reached a peak of almost 10 million monthly downloads in February 2021, says Forbes.
Twitter has continued to release new features for Spaces, such as the option to add co-hosts, since its full launch in 2021, and some chats have attracted more than 150,000 people for a single session.

Alright, there’s so many tutorials out there that talk about how to create this and how to achieve a certain text effect using the tools in Photoshop. Believe me, I have done my fair bit of them. But it’s not often you see how to create the actual tools themselves in Photoshop. With tools I don’t mean the plug-ins or the actual tools available. I mean the brushes, shapes and stuff like that. Stuff you can download or create yourself.
Well, i took the time to hunt down some of the better ones (even though the video quality is sometimes questionable) and thought I’d present them to you. This time I have found some video tutorials that deals with how to create brushes in Photoshop. Brushes are one of the greatest tools in Photoshop which allows you to add vast or small details of already created work in just a few seconds.
Once you master the technique you can significantly speed up your turnaround time when working in Photoshop. Design things you know you will be able to recycle over and over and create your own custom brush library. It’s such a great thing to have for any designer.

Trying to Beat Republicans in the Midwest With Different Shades of BlueElections
OMAHA—The Rotary Club of Downtown Omaha is not the kind of place where you expect to hear a politician talk about the benefits of single-payer healthcare. But on a Wednesday afternoon in late September, Democratic House candidate Kara Eastman made her case. She did so in front of a room full of businesspeople who live and work in a city where health insurance is a major industry, and who expressed more worries during the question and answer session about the national debt and a lack of bipartisanship in Congress than the plight of Nebraska’s uninsured. To do so, she talked about her mother.
“In 2016, my mom was diagnosed with cancer for the fifth time,” she told the crowd. “And she was telling me about her prescriptions, and kind of matter-of-factly said, ‘My doctor wants me to take this pill that’s $2,500, and the problem is I’m already paying $800 a month for prescriptions.’
“I asked her what it meant that she wouldn’t be taking this pill, and she said it meant that she wouldn’t be able to leave the house,” Eastman continued. “And that was true until she passed away, one year ago today.”
“This is about my feeling that healthcare is a right in the United States and we should be providing healthcare to people, so they don’t have to choose like my mom did.”
Eastman, who is a vocal supporter of Medicare for All, is a very different sort of Democratic candidate for the Nebraska Second Congressional District, which—with the exception of a two-year period earlier this decade—has been represented by a Republican continuously since 1995. But Eastman has embraced her differences from the typical sort of conservative Democrat who runs in this district; when a would-be constituent asked her what she’d do about “entitlements” in the context of the federal deficit—a question that was echoed several times during the Q&A portion—she responded: “I don’t consider them entitlements, I consider them earned benefits.”
For years, the conventional wisdom of the Democratic Party has been that a candidate like Eastman—a social worker by trade who embraces an expansion of the safety net—would doom the party in swing districts such as this one. Groups backing Eastman’s opponent, the freshman Rep. Don Bacon, have painted her as an extremist, with the Paul Ryan-affiliated Congressional Leadership Fund running ads in the district slamming her for supporting a “$32 trillion government takeover of healthcare.”
Less than three hours south of Omaha, a similar dynamic is playing out in Kansas’ Third Congressional District. A Republican incumbent who stresses his independence—in this case, Rep. Kevin Yoder—is facing his toughest re-election bid yet, in a state that’s turned sharply to the right in recent years. But in that race, the Democratic nominee is Sharice Davids: a lawyer, retired MMA fighter, and former White House fellow who’s taking the path more well-traveled, aligning herself with the more moderate politics of the mainstream Democratic Party.
Although the basis for comparison between Eastman and Davids, their districts, and their states is far from perfect, it’s a good test case for the central question facing Democrats and the left in both swing districts that have trended to the right in recent years, and, more broadly, in solid red states like Nebraska and Kansas: How do you reverse those losses and begin to defeat the Republican Party again?
For Davids, that means appealing to bipartisanship in an attempt to win over moderate voters. For Eastman, that means advocating for bold action on issues personal to so many Americans (and to her), like healthcare.
“This is not just about my mom anymore,” Eastman told the Rotary Club crowd of her campaign. “This is about my feeling that healthcare is a right in the United States and we should be providing healthcare to people, so they don’t have to choose like my mom did.”
The night before Eastman spoke, people gathered in a private room at Spirit World, a bar and liquor store about 10 minutes southwest of downtown Omaha. They were there for an informational meeting about the Omaha chapter of the New Leaders Council—an organization which aims, per its mission statement, to train “diverse and highly skilled new progressive leaders who rise to the top of their fields, working together across sectors and in their local cities to build, expand, and improve the progressive infrastructure necessary for strong democracy, social justice, and equal opportunity.”
In other words, this room should’ve been chocked full of enthusiastic Kara Eastman supporters.
Danielle Powell and Lucas LaRose were fellows in the program in 2017, and both are active observers of local politics. “[I’ve been involved in] activism, close to 10 years. Politics, two. Like most people,” Powell said, laughing as she sipped from a glass of wine.
Almost immediately, though, she corrected herself. Several years ago, she was kicked out of Grace University—a small Christian college in Omaha which closed earlier this year—for being in a relationship with another woman, a story which made national news in 2013 when the university billed her for tuition for a semester of school which she was prevented from completing.
“I had to really face the facts that there are laws and legislations in place that allowed for that to happen legally,” she said of the episode. “And that kind of started me on my journey in my fight for equity and for legislation that actually aligns with what we claim to be as a country…I think my identity, who I am naturally, requires me to be engaged and to care.”
Powell, who’s from the Black Hills of South Dakota but has lived in Omaha for 11 years, said she’s excited not just by the Eastman campaign, but by the national trend of women becoming candidates for Congress and other offices. “I don’t believe in voting for someone based on their gender identity,” she said. “But I’m very aware of the inequity based on gender that has set the precedent for the political environment thus far, so I’m excited to see that change.”
LaRose—a member of the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska who grew up on the tribe’s reservation in Thurston County, NE, and a lawyer who specializes in federal tribal issues—described himself as “a little more moderate” in his views. And while he said he was surprised when Eastman defeated former Congressman Brad Ashford in the primary, he was optimistic about her chances in November.
“I think Kara is a good candidate. She’s very authentic, so people want to believe her and her message,” he said. “She’s got this energy and vigor about her that people want to believe as well.”
Eastman’s narrow win in the Democratic primary over Ashford was a shock to many in Nebraska and elsewhere. Ashford, a former Republican member of the state legislature, first won election in 2014 and lost two years later, and had the backing of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. But in an upset, Eastman won by a margin of less than a thousand votes.
“It’s a game, it’s a machine, it’s an ugly machine”
Eastman poses the Democrats’ best opportunity for a high-profile win this year in Nebraska, where the Republican Party has a voter registration advantage of over 230,000 and where every member of the congressional delegation and statewide elected official is a Republican. One reason for that, as Powell reminded me, is that Omaha is not representative of the whole state.
“I would agree that the assumptions are correct in regards to [Nebraska] being very white and conservative, but I think what’s overlooked is that Omaha has a third of the state’s population,” Powell said. “North Omaha has a very rich African-American history. A lot of people don’t know Malcolm X was from here, Gabrielle Union, Roxane Gay…People don’t know a lot about Omaha, and so it’s easy to kind of blanket everything within the context of Nebraska.”
But LaRose said that if Eastman wants to win in a district where Republicans still have a 12,000-plus voter registration advantage over Democrats, she’ll have to make bigger inroads with moderate voters. “I think her bonafides, to her supporters, they’ve been established already,” he said. “But there’s people here who look at the politics and the back and forth and go, ‘I don’t really fit in either of these [parties.].’
“I think there’s a large segment out there, I don’t want to call them the ‘silent majority,” he said. “But I think there’s an element that’s been turned off by what politics have turned into.”
Powell, for her part, embodies a struggle that faced a lot of liberal and progressive voters both this year and in 2016. While she described herself as a political radical, it was clear that she views electoral politics in more pragmatic terms. “It’s a game, it’s a machine, it’s an ugly machine,” she said. “If we’re not going to dismantle the machine, we have to be real that it’s built on some very ugly precedents and histories, and so it’s not going to be this utopian thing that we want it to be.”
But, still, at this moment, she said, “the moderate just seems convenient.”
Earlier that day in Dundee, the Omaha neighborhood where both she and (uh) Warren Buffett live, Eastman—whose only elected position has been a seat on the board of governors for a local community college—explained to Splinter that she initially didn’t think that “someone like me” could get elected to Congress. But after the 2016 presidential election, she said, it “seemed like we were willing to accept newcomers and outsiders to the political systems.” (She quickly added that it would “be nice to have people who make sane, sound decisions.”)
Dr. Paul Landow, a University of Nebraska-Omaha professor and self-described “traditional Democrat” who was an aide to Peter Hoagland, a three-term Democratic congressman from the district in the 1980s and ‘90s, said that any Democrat would have a problem in the district—which encompasses all of Douglas County and some of its neighbor, Sarpy County—but that someone like Eastman might have more trouble than a moderate like Ashford. “It’s a long, difficult uphill battle [for Eastman],” Landow said. “I think that, left to its own devices, this district will almost always vote Republican, and Don Bacon has an excellent profile to run in this district.
“If the wave is big enough and strong enough and widespread enough…it could sweep her in,” he added, “[Then] the question becomes—although you don’t want to take the cart before the horse—how long could she stay in? Not just her, but any Democrat?”
Polling for the general election has been mixed: A New York Times live poll showed Bacon with a nearly double-digit lead, but a more recent one released by Eastman’s campaign showed Bacon with a four-point lead, within the margin of error. In terms of fundraising, Bacon has slightly outraised Eastman so far—$2.5 million to a little over $2 million—and has roughly $480,000 more cash on hand. Eastman’s campaign suffered another blow when the Democratic-aligned House Majority PAC told Roll Call last week that it had pulled committed funding from her race to reroute it to a competitive race in Iowa.
But there’s reason to believe that Eastman could pull off her second upset this year, particularly if the blue wave that the Democrats are seeking materializes. Eastman—who has pledged not to take corporate PAC money—significantly outraised Bacon in the last quarter, $1.25 million to about $550,000, according to the Omaha World-Herald, and over 90 percent of her fundraising came from individual donations. And although yard signs have long been derided by campaign workers and experts, it seemed as though every neighborhood in Omaha I drove in for the three days I was there was inundated with Eastman signs.
“The conventional wisdom is that we run a conservative Democrat and they lose, or they win by a tiny amount and then they lose, and we say, ‘See? Democrats don’t win here”
Bacon, like other embattled Republican incumbents attempting to hold onto their seats this year, has attempted to occupy a space where he maintains a veneer of independence but isn’t actively pissing off Donald Trump. But he voted with Republicans on some of their most unpopular agenda items this session, including for the repeal of the Affordable Care Act. That could backfire in a state where advocates successfully got statewide Medicaid expansion on the ballot in November. (Currently, Nebraska is one of 17 states that has no Medicaid expansion; as of the 2016 American Community Survey, about 180,000 Nebraskans didn’t have health insurance.)
It’s on healthcare where the contrast between Bacon and Eastman couldn’t be more stark. “The majority of people agree that Medicare for All is the right direction for the country, and so many people tell stories similar to what my mom went through,” Eastman told me at a coffee shop which proudly displays her campaign sign, as well as those of other Democratic candidates, in the front window. “There are definitely people who are skeptical and I think that part of it is that it’s such a new concept….there’s some confusion about it, there’s definitely more we have to talk about and think through, and we might need to take a regional approach or a pilot program or at least a public option for prescriptions.
“But,” she said, “too many people are dying because they don’t have healthcare.”
Eastman acknowledged that she has doubters. “The conventional wisdom is that we run a conservative Democrat and they lose, or they win by a tiny amount and then they lose, and we say, ‘See? Democrats don’t win here,” Eastman said. “I just put out the platform that aligns with my values and aligns with the values of the people I’ve been working with in the community for 12 years.
“So many people are struggling,” she continued. “They’re wanting their policymakers to work for them. I think that’s such an important piece of government that we have to remind people of, that the government works for us.”
Less than three hours south, voters in the Kansas Third Congressional District, which encompasses the suburbs of Kansas City, MO, are facing a somewhat similar dilemma: whether or not to send a Democrat to D.C. as their House representative for the first time in eight years. It’s up for debate which casual food chain the Democrats’ path to a majority runs through, but if there is one, it’s clear where it’ll begin: in places like a nondescript storefront in a Kansas City, KS, strip mall whose windows feature campaign signs for Democratic candidates up and down the ballot in one of the few blue bastions in one of the reddest states in the country.
Davids is the perfect example of how the reaction to Trump has produced a bench of Democratic candidates across the country who more accurately reflect what America looks like.
Rashane Hamby is a Kansas Democratic Party organizer in her native Wyandotte County, one of the two counties in the state that went for Hillary Clinton in 2016. She said she’s been involved in politics since high school, after which she moved to California and lived there for six years before coming back to Kansas in 2015. “I got involved with nonprofits and different local issues, but in 2016 I went to caucus for Bernie Sanders,” Hamby said. She entered the caucus as a registered independent, and ultimately ended the campaign as a delegate for Sanders at the 2016 Democratic National Convention.
That year, Sanders comfortably won both the Kansas and Nebraska Democratic caucuses over Hillary Clinton. In the Kansas Third’s congressional primary two years later, however, Sharice Davids defeated five others, including Brent Welder—a former Sanders delegate whose campaign saw a late-in-the-race visit from both Sanders and New York congressional candidate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez—to win the Democratic primary.
Wyandotte County, where Hamby is working, is one of the two counties which make up the vast majority of the district, which is located in the eastern part of the state. Wyandotte is firmly working class and, by at least one measure, one of the most diverse in the country. The other, where the majority of the voters come from, is Johnson County, the largest and wealthiest county in the state. When Davids won her August primary, she did so by narrowly defeating Welder and the other candidates in Johnson, even though Welder won nearly 60 percent of the vote in Wyandotte. (The district also includes a sliver of Miami County.)
In some ways, Davids is the perfect example of how the reaction to Trump has produced a bench of Democratic candidates across the country who more accurately reflect what America looks like. Davids, a 37-year old former MMA fighter, would—as a member of the Ho-Chunk Nation—be at least one of the first two Native American women elected to Congress, along with New Mexico Democrat Deb Haaland. (The district Haaland is running to represent is rated as safely Democratic by the Cook Political Report.)
Davids would also be the first LGBTQ member of Congress from Kansas, a distinction that isn’t lost on her critics from the left. “As a queer person myself, even though Sharice isn’t great, it does feel good to have some representation,” Kansas City Democratic Socialists of America co-chair Phoenix Victoria, a canvasser in Wyandotte County, told me at a pizza spot near the University of Missouri-Kansas City where I met her and two other leaders in the chapter.
Her opponent, Rep. Kevin Yoder, is a remarkably vulnerable four-term congressman who, like Bacon, has tried to emphasize his independence, although more often than not it’s resulted in him looking like a squish. Perhaps the most notable thing Yoder has done in office since his election in 2010 has been going skinny-dipping in the Sea of Galilee, but it hasn’t mattered much until now—he’s won every single race by double-digits.
“On a surface level, this is just the year of women, so I think that element has to do with [Davids’ win],” Hamby said. “And I think her messaging and her center approach in Johnson County helped…unfortunately, I think that with Alexandria [Ocasio-Cortez] coming, the optics looked like we were putting two women of color against each other, although if you’re close to this, you know they’re two opposites on policy.”
On policy, Davids is running a very traditional Democratic campaign. In a questionnaire with the Kansas City Star during the primary campaign, she stopped short of calling for Medicare for All or for Trump’s impeachment. In a podcast interview in July, Davids was asked point-blank if she would support abolishing ICE. She responded, “I would, I would,” and had a pretty good justification:
“When you talk about the historical context of ICE being rooted in treating a group of people as if there’s a threat or that they’re ‘the enemy’ or something to that effect,” she said on the podcast, “that’s exactly how the federal government approached Native Americans until not that long ago … I just feel like I’m constantly seeing parallels between what is happening right now and what has happened through the course of our federal government’s history.”
She quickly backtracked. Ask Davids about abolishing ICE now and she’ll insist that she was merely being inarticulate. (Several requests to speak with Davids for comment were not returned.) And in a mostly off-the-record interview with conservative Star columnist Steve Rose, Rose wrote that Davids wanted “to go on the record separating herself from [Ocasio-Cortez’s] campaign and its left-wing positions,” and was “adamant” that she was not a “Bernie Sanders Democrat.”
Victoria, the DSA co-chair, recalled that she was initially impressed by Davids when it came to immigration. “I met her at a rally outside of Yoder’s office, and I think [if] that Sharice Davids ran, that Sharice Davids would win,” she said. ”I do think immigration is a big issue for people…if [she’s] not for abolishing ICE, at least be against all of this reactionary propaganda when it comes to immigration.” (Davids, for her part, has said she supports a clear path to citizenship for undocumented people, and her campaign website touts her desire to “work across the aisle to develop common sense policy” on immigration.)
“I think when you’re trying to get young Democrats out to vote, sometimes you need something different”
Whatever the debate about Davids’ more conservative approach, it seems to be working, at least for now. She doubled Yoder’s fundraising and then some in the last quarter, and in recent polling, she’s been up by the high single-digits. Earlier this month, McClatchy reported that the National Republican Congressional Committee, the GOP’s equivalent of the DCCC, was pulling significant amounts of money from its campaign in support of Yoder.
That’s not to say there isn’t any excitement for Davids on the ground. Gary Enrique Bradley-Lopez, a 20 year old University of Missouri-Kansas City student who was born and raised in Kansas City, KS, and is a leader in Young Democrats organizations in Kansas, considers Davids to be something of a political hero. “I think when you’re trying to get young Democrats out to vote, sometimes you need something different,” he said, adding with a laugh, “and maybe Johnson County’s trying to find its woke card,” a reference to her win over Welder in Kansas’ biggest, wealthiest county.
He also praises her ability to make connections with voters. “My dad’s not one to go out there and vote, he’s someone who votes mostly in presidential elections,” he told me. “But Sharice has this—when you have this voter contact face to face with a person, that’s a lot. And she had that with my dad, and that right there made him want to go out there and vote for her, because he knew her.”
Davids’ approach appears to be paying off in terms of polling. But in September, Hamby said that Davids should more forcefully emphasize areas where she’s progressive.
“I think what Sharice has done fabulously is outline her story. We get a sense of who she is and where she’s come from, and those things are definitely valuable,” Hamby said. “I think that where there needs to be a pivot, especially now as we move closer, is really defining where she stands on issues and not so much playing defense, but playing offense. I can see that as they start to talk about healthcare more, but when you say you’re for healthcare, what does that mean?”
To Victoria, the DSA co-chair, Davids’ politics look like more of the same, and she’s skeptical that the sort of platform that the candidate is running on is the way to reverse Kansas’ rightward lurch long-term.
“Even if she does manage to pull out a win, you’re seeing the same slow death of the Democratic Party,” Victoria said. “They’re coming up against stronger, more hateful, and more reactionary right-wing rhetoric. And they have nothing to counter it with except, ‘We’re not the other guys.’ That’s not an effective strategy.”
Beyond Davids, it’s clear that the Democratic Party’s turn to the left in this cycle has, to some extent, been over-exaggerated. The Blue Dogs of the waves of 2006 and 2008 are mostly gone, but there’s an equally limited number of self-identified socialists (such as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in New York and Rashida Tlaib in Michigan) or even left-wing Democrats (such as Deb Haaland) with strong chances to be elected to Congress next year. Even fewer of them are in swing seats.
“Look, we’re never going to agree on everything”
Throughout the campaign, Eastman has balanced her longstanding desire for progressive agenda items like free college, a $15 minimum wage, and Medicare for All with the kind of talk about deficits and fiscal conservatism that tends to make people on the left wary.
At a recent debate with Bacon, Eastman referred to the Trump tax cuts as “big government” and criticized the cost of Trump’s proposed border wall, which Bacon voted for, while also criticizing its inhumanity. And at the Rotary Club town hall, she likened her experience as the CEO of the the non-profit she started, the Omaha Healthy Kids Alliance, to managing the federal budget.
“As a non-profit leader, I consider myself to be pretty fiscally conservative, because you have to be,” Eastman told the Rotary Club crowd after explaining her healthcare stance. “That’s what I think we need to be doing at the federal government [level] right now, is being very, very careful with our resources, and proving that if we invest up front in preventing thing that shouldn’t be happening, it’ll save us money in the long run.”
As different as Eastman and Davids are on policy, it’s in this rhetoric—of working together, reaching across the aisle, and so on—where they’re taking similar approaches to try and bring more moderate voters into their coalition.
At the end of the question and answer portion, Eastman was asked about trade agreements and NATO. She gave a pretty standard answer about trying to avoid the alienation of allies, before stopping. “I’m seeing some shaking heads,” she said.
“Look, we’re never going to agree on everything,” she continued, making one last pitch to the crowd. “I talk to people at the doors all day who don’t agree with me on stuff. But I’m trying to teach my daughter, who’s 17, that we have to be able to engage with these conversations and have hard conversations and find some common ground and some solutions. I think that’s we need in our country right now.”
There was a slight pause. Then, the crowd began politely applauding.
Correction: 2:47 p.m. ET: Due to a typo, a previous version of this article said that Davids told Rose she was a “Bernie Sanders Democrat.” Davids told him she was not a Bernie Sanders Democrat.

Starting life in the mid-1970s, it had set new standards by the early 1980s with its piano lacquered all-birch shells and full-length flush-braced lugs. Yamaha called birch the 'recording' wood, focused and punchy, 'pre-eq'd', even!
Securing Steve Gadd as its main champion was the final masterstroke, Gadd being the most influential drummer of his era. Gadd changed the way drummers play and the 9000 changed the look and sound of drum kits for a decade.
But time moves on and the RC was finallydiscontinued in 2012, coinciding with Yamaha moving production of its professional drums to its new super-factory, Xiaoshan Yamaha, in Hangzhou, China. The output so far has yielded three contrasting professional kits - the warm and deep Live Custom Oak, the super-resonant Maple Custom Hybrid, and now the updated, focused Recording Custom.
Once more designed with input from Steve Gadd, the new RC retains its original qualities, but is updated with a fatter, weightier lug, thinner bass drum shells, sharper bearing edges and even greater manufacturing precision.
Back in the 1980s the RC was a sensation with the never-before-seen lavish quality of its paint lacquered shells, the same lacquering that Yamaha applies to its pianos. So it's fitting we have for review a selection of the new Solid Black lacquered drums. There are just three other finishes: Classic Walnut, Real Wood and Surf Green.
Inside, the shells have a mid-brown matt stain, again similar to the pianos. There's a new badge, understated as ever, but proudly stating 'Made In China'.
Shells are all six-ply, 6mm birch. The original RC used broad-leaf Hokkaido birch, but from now on the shells will feature North American birch as a steady supply of high quality timber has been secured.
One big plus of the new Chinese facility is a continual tightening of manufacturing and quality control tolerances, which were already industry leaders. Yamaha's Air Seal shell technology with angled seams (Yamaha features from the beginning) ensure near-perfect shell construction.
Wielding a ruler over the shells confirms they are exactly round. And for once I do mean exactly. Inevitably the bearing edges are equally finely cut and finished. They rise 30° from the inner surface, steeper than the previous 45°, with a single-ply outer bevel.
The obvious change is in the lug, which is a bloated version of the original high-tension, full-length design. All the chromed fittings and castings are lustrous. Yamaha's chrome is quite rightly legendary.
The 20"x16" review bass drum has a new pedal lift bracket bolted to the batter hoop. This is a request from Steve Gadd and is available on the 18" bass drum too. The idea is to enable the pedal beater to strike at the centre of the head so that it feels similar to playing a 22" drum.
Bass drums also have comfy 'T' handle tensioners, rather than now-standard drum key bolts. They are quite small, easier and quicker than drum-key operated screw bolts, with elaborately moulded lightweight black insert grommets. The review floor toms have traditional legs - not as funky as the original Gadd-inspired floor tom stands, but more stable.
There are also seven new RC snare drums with stainless steel, aluminium and brass shells. Look out for a full review soon, but meantime here's the 14"x5" in 1.2mm-gauge brass, finished in a natural satin-matt 'Hairline Clear'. Bearing edges are 45° and there are 2.5mm snare beds. The crucial new feature is the Ludwig-like convex (outer) centre bead, which is again a suggestion of Gadd's.
Since the original RC, Yamaha has developed mostly ever-smaller lugs, honing in on lab-tested nodal point positioning. Here the opposite tack is taken with a massive full-length lug, more bulbous than the original. The lug bucks the trend in that it sets out to contain and focus the resonance.
The 9000 was described as the recording drum and birch gained a reputation as the 'focused' wood with a darker fundamental tone than maple. Add to this the shell-enclosing effect of those lugs, which allows the head tone to come through more.
Choice of head becomes paramount and most will be happy with the supplied Ambassador Coated batters. With the perfectly round shells, sharp, level edges, and standard 1.6mm steel hoops, tuning is easy as ever, and the tuning range as wide as it gets.
The interval encompassed by a full turn on the rods takes you from deep roaring blast to high pinging bebop, clean and controlled. This adaptability of head choice and tuning range are strengths of the RC.
We'd be lying if we said we detect any great difference from our own 1983 Yamaha 9000 toms. If pushed, the new ones are slightly snappier with their sharper 30° edges. They sound superb anyway.
The shallow classic depths give the extra punch that is also characteristic of RCs. Gadd popularised the 10" tom at one end and the 14" floor-stand mounted tom at the other. There is so much tone in that little 10"x7", it's a right little belter.
And the new 14"x13" has that speed of action and arrested sustain that characterised the 9000 Gadd sound. We also preferred the 16"x14" floor tom to our 1980s 16"x16" as it also has that bit more control and immediacy.
When the fashion shifted back to maple in the 1990s, Gadd eventually opted for a maple bass drum which he felt had more bottom/warmth. Thus one main brief for the new RC was to boost the birch bass drums by making the shells six-ply where they were previously a slightly thicker seven.
It's a subtle adjustment and the feel will never be as open as maple. We always liked the 9000 bass anyway, which is focused like the toms, and first impressions of the new kick is of an intense, dark, fast-responding and piercing tone.
Barely space for the briefest word about the 14"x5" brass shell snare drum. For the first time it has a convex perimeter bead, like Gadd's favourite Ludwig SupraPhonic.
The 'Q'-type strainer is superbly engineered and the 5" drum also came with a choice of 20-strand snare or 10-strand Steve Gadd-type snare. (The 6" drum has a 25-strand snare.) Swapping to the 10-strander the sound becomes crunchier, a little harder and more discreet, actually recognisably Gadd-like.

The British Medical Journal (BMJ) has come out in support of a bill to legalise assisted suicide for terminally ill patients.
However, the British Medical Association (BMA), which represents doctors in the United Kingdom said the pro-assisted suicide position of the BMJ does not reflect the views of the BMA, which remains firmly against legalising assisted dying.
According to the Christian Institute, the BMJ in an editorial expressed support for Lord Falconer's Bill, which seeks to change the law to allow terminally ill patients to obtain lethal drugs to kill themselves, and is currently being debated in the House of Lords.
“People should be able to exercise choice over their lives, which should include how and when they die, when death is imminent”, the editorial said.
But Dr Mark Porter, chairman of the BMA council, said the pro-assisted suicide position of the BMJ does not reflect the views of the BMA or the medical profession.
“The BMA remains firmly opposed to legalising assisted dying. This issue has been regularly debated at the BMA’s policy forming annual conference and recent calls for a change in the law have persistently been rejected”, he said. “Our focus must be on making sure every patient can access the very best of palliative care, which empowers patients to make decisions over their care”, he added.
The Falconer Bill will have its second reading on the 18th of July. The government have promised a free vote on the issue in the House of Commons.

The insurance-focused SaaS company has been valued at more than $1bn after raising $220m in Series D funding.
Shift Technology, which develops AI for insurance fraud detection, has raised $220m in funding.
The Series D funding round was led by Advent International, through Advent Tech, with participation from Avenir and others. Previous Series C backers Accel, Bessemer Venture Partners, General Catalyst and Iris Capital also joined the round.
The latest funding round brings total investment in Shift to $320m. It gives the company a market valuation of more than $1bn, making it the latest European start-up to hit unicorn status.
‘We have only just scratched the surface of what is possible’
– JEREMY JAWISH
Founded in France in 2014, Shift Technology started out developing fraud detection and claims automation software.
At the beginning of this year, it launched Shift Insurance Suite, which brings its AI-based decision automation technology to other processes such as underwriting, subrogation and compliance.
The company now serves more than 100 customers in 25 different countries and said it has analysed nearly 2bn claims to date.
It has offices in Paris, Boston, Tokyo, London, Madrid, Zurich, Singapore, Toronto, Sao Paulo and Hong Kong.
Shift Technology’s CEO and co-founder, Jeremy Jawish, said the team has worked to provide insurers with the technology solutions they need.
“We have only just scratched the surface of what is possible when AI-based decision automation and optimisation is applied to the critical processes that drive the insurance policy life cycle,” he said.
The company said the latest investment will allow it to expand its presence in key locations including the US, Europe and Asia. The funding will also drive R&D efforts in the creation of new tech for the insurance industry.
Thomas Weisman, a director on Advent’s technology investment team in London, said Shift has made a name for itself in the insurance world since it was first founded.
“Shift’s advanced suite of SaaS products is helping insurers to reshape manual and often time-consuming claims processes in a safer and more automated way. We are proud to be part of this exciting company’s next wave of growth,” he said.

Four arrested in meth lab bust
Four people were arrested following a meth lab bust at a Danville home Wednesday after agents with the Morgan County Drug Task Force performed a welfare check on a 15-month-old baby.
The suspects arrested are as follows:
• Charles Daniel Blankenship was charged with unlawful manufacturing a controlled substance first degree and unlawful possession of a short-barreled shotgun. He is being held at the Morgan County Jail on a $300,000 bond.
• Cody Davis was charged with unlawful manufacturing a controlled substance first degree and unlawful possession of a short-barreled shotgun. He is being held on a $350,000 bond.
• Haley LaShea Davis and Amanda Thurman both were charged with unlawful manufacturing a controlled substance first degree. They are being held on bonds of $150,000 each.
On Wednesday, Morgan County Drug Task Force agents responded to 1501 Kirby Bridge Road for the welfare check.
Agents executed a search warrant and discovered three one-pot methamphetamine labs, gas generators that were still smoking, acid, salt, lithium strips, coffee filters and cold packs. They determined that the suspects were staying in the residence and were cooking methamphetamine.
Agents also discovered a sawed off shotgun in the residence. During the search, agents observed that Cody Davis was hiding in a field behind the residence and also learned that Haley Davis was possibly pregnant.
Also, officers observed Thurman was passed out on the bed with several used syringes around her. The child in question was at the residence earlier in the day but had left with a relative.
Officers also learned that Cody Davis and Thurman were out on bond from Lawrence County on a manufacturing charge from two weeks ago. Mud Tavern, Punkin Center and Decatur fire departments assisted in the decontamination of the suspects.
