Updated Oct. 22 at 4:40 p.m. to include additional information about Bain’s voter registration.
When Texas Sen. John Cornyn saw the latest Texas early voting numbers on Monday, he asked his Twitter followers a simple question: “Who says voting in Texas is hard?”
Bradley Bain, a 23-year-old from Dallas and recent graduate of Pomona College in California, is one Texan taking exception because he’s finding it very difficult to vote. Bain lives in Claremont, Calif., but is still registered to vote in Texas.
“I’m literally spending >$400 to fly to Dallas and vote in person because you ‘accidentally’ flagged me as committing voter fraud in 2018, took me off the voter rolls, and made me ineligible to vote by mail in 2020,” Bain responded to the Republican in a tweet that had more than 176,000 likes as of Tuesday evening.
Bain hadn’t received a response for weeks after sending his absentee ballot application to the Dallas County Elections Department, so on Monday he booked a last-minute flight home to Dallas so he could vote in person.
“It’s been such a saga just to figure out how to vote,” said Bain, who cast his ballot Tuesday during early voting. “I wasn’t going to waste my opportunity to do so.”
Bain’s trip halfway across the country to vote captures the enthusiasm of Texas voters this election cycle — even in the midst of a pandemic.
As of Tuesday morning, after seven days of early voting, more than 4.6 million Texans had cast their ballots.
In each of Texas' 10 largest counties, turnout was higher than at the same point in 2016.
Harris County, which had 566,741 votes after seven days four years ago, had more than 720,000 this year. Dallas County had 326,149 at this time four years ago. This election, it was up to 392,774.
Tarrant, Collin and Denton counties — all battleground areas — also have higher turnout.
Texans have until Oct. 30 to cast their ballots early after Gov. Greg Abbott extended the early voting period in response to COVID-19. It is unclear whether the high turnout will keep up or die down as the end draws closer.
Thomas Gray, a political scientist at the University of Texas at Dallas, cautioned against reading too much into the higher early voting. The pandemic has changed the dynamics of voting, he said, and some groups, such as the Democratic Party, have strongly encouraged voters to cast their ballots early to avoid possible virus exposure in long lines.
“As a result we’re seeing huge numbers across the country but also in Texas,” Gray said. “The main question is, how much of this is cannibalized voting — people who are voting now but would have voted on Election Day? That’s why we’re so cautious of overinterpreting.”
Seeking the youth vote
Democrats have hung their hopes on new and younger voters, like Bain, flocking to the polls during a crucial presidential election.
Bain said he successfully voted absentee during the 2018 midterm elections. But he was told he couldn’t vote when he went in person to a polling place for the 2019 Dallas mayoral election because of an issue with his 2018 ballot, and his efforts to vote by mail were unsuccessful during this year’s primaries.
The Dallas County Elections Department, which administers elections and voter registration, did not respond to requests for comment. The Secretary of State’s office said Bain’s registration remained active after the 2018 elections.
Despite the obstacles he faced, Bain wanted to cast his vote in Texas rather than California because he views the state as his home and “would love to see it go blue.”
But, living in California, he said, he’s seen how much easier it is to cast a ballot there than in the Lone Star State: “Seeing from all my friends how easy it is to vote in California or in other states, and how hard Texas actively makes it, I think it’s a huge problem.”
Charlie Bonner, communications director for MOVE Texas, a group that targets young and underserved voters, said people ages 18 to 30 are showing high interest in the election and that is translating to more people in that demographic voting early.
“Youth voters are not early voters. They generally vote on Election Day,” Bonner said. “To see this increase even in the first week of early voting is incredible.”
Bonner said he was encouraged by data from Target Smart, a Democratic political data firm, showing that voters in that age bracket nationally are surpassing their share of the voter turnout in the last presidential election. So far, the group says, voters ages 18 to 29 have made up 8.7% of the ballots cast nationally, compared with 6.7% in 2016.
In Texas, that same voting bloc has 10.1% of early ballots cast so far. That demographic made up 12.5% of ballots cast in early voting in 2018 and 13.4% in 2016, according to Ryan Data and Research, a Republican consulting firm.
Priscilla Yeverino, a hub coordinator and founder of Sunrise Movement Dallas, which urges young voters to support candidates who commit to fighting climate change and economic injustice, said her group is urging voters to vote early to avoid any problems that could arise on Election Day.
Gray, the political scientist, said voters and political campaigns shouldn’t read too much into the early vote numbers. Though many Democratic core groups have already voted, Republican voters are likely to show up in the remaining days, he said.
“It’s very likely there will be some equalizing once we get to Election Day.”
Correction, 4:16 p.m., Oct. 22, 2020: A previous version of this story said Bain believed his voter registration had been cancelled after a 2019 effort by the secretary of state’s office to take noncitizens off the voter roll. No voters were taken off the voter rolls during that effort. The Secretary of State’s office said Bain never had his voter registration cancelled.
Correction, 5:30 p.m., Oct. 21, 2020: Bradley Bain completed his degree from Pomona College in May but will receive his diploma this December. An earlier version of this story said Bain is a senior at the school and graduates in December.


EPA Declares Mazda The Most Fuel-Efficient Automaker 4 Years In A Row
Given a choice, most people would prefer a vehicle that is efficient in fuel consumption. Four years ago, EPA declared Mazda as the automaker to have accomplished this goal. Mazda has succeeded in making this a consistent feat as Mazda was again declared to be the most fuel-efficient automaker for the fourth year in a row.
The Fourth Year Of Fuel-Efficiency
According to Auto123, Mazda has been declared by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as the most fuel efficient automaker in accordance to its latest reports on Light Duty Fuel Economy Trends. Auto123 also added that Mazda was able to achieve this feat without any electric or hybrid car to offer. This accomplishment is due to the unique technology of Mazda called SKYACTIV that aims to reduce the weight of the vehicle, improve its engine efficiency and performance in environmental and safety aspects. Accordingly, all Mazda vehicles including the CX-5 now come with the SKYACTIV feature.
"Mazda's team of engineers and designers have worked diligently to create vehicles that are high-quality, stylish, fun-to-drive and fuel efficient," said Masahiro Moro, President and CEO of Mazda North American Operations as reported by CTV News. The result is a fuel economy of up to 29.6 miles per gallon on the average for Mazda vehicles.
Other Manufacturers Are Not Far Behind
Honda is not far behind as it was able to get second place with its 28.9 miles per gallon average fuel efficiency rate. The Japanese car maker's fleet of hybrids were cited to help in keeping down the average of its fuel consumption. On the other hand, Nissan also has successfully taken the third spot this year with its average fuel consumption of 28.3 miles per gallon, while the company also marks its third consecutive year at the top as the most fuel-efficient among manufacturers with full-line vehicles.

These DIY tissue paper pumpkin favors are easy to make and an inexpensive craft idea. These fun surprise paper pumpkins can be stuffed with candy and other treats for Halloween parties and fall decorating.
A fun pumpkin treat idea
With the weather cooling and the stores full of costumes and candy corn, it can only mean one thing – it’s Halloween time! We love to celebrate Halloween with the kids with fun costumes, Halloween crafts, and of course, trick-or-treating.
We wanted to make some fun and festive Halloween favors for the kids to hand out to friends and decided that we could make cute little pumpkins out of tissue paper. These candy-filled pumpkin treat ideas are a fun way to get crafty together and make someone’s day this Halloween.
Tissue paper pumpkin Halloween party favors
We had a good time making these cute pumpkin treats out of tissue paper, which was so much fun! They are filled with a candy surprise that kids will love opening. You can hand these out at the school Halloween party, use them as fall decor, or give them as party favors at your fall and Thanksgiving gatherings.
Cute candy-filled pumpkin favors
So, how do you make paper pumpkins? With tissue paper? The key is to use layers of tissue paper to make these mini pumpkins. Once you fill them and close them up, they are ready to gift!
Easy DIY Tissue Paper Pumpkin Favors Craft
To make this tissue paper pumpkin craft, you only need a few craft materials and some Halloween-themed candies to fill them with. Gather your orange tissue paper and other supplies and let’s get started!
Materials needed for this pumpkin craft:
makes 4 mini pumpkins
- (4) squares of orange tissue paper
- (4) pipe cleaners – green or brown
- small, individually wrapped candies
- school glue (clear-drying)
How to make pumpkins out of tissue paper
These pumpkins are fairly easy to make and require only a few steps. First, lay out (4) pieces of orange tissue paper on top of each other. Hold them together and cut them into (4) evenly-sized squares.
Place candies in the middle of each tissue paper square, leaving plenty of tissue paper available around the outside to pull together. We chose tootsie rolls for the candy since they are individually wrapped (for sanitary reasons), but we also filled up a couple of pumpkins with candy corn for ourselves!
You can also use other small candies, such as Starbursts, Jolly Ranchers, bubble gum, caramels, Now N’ Laters, peppermints, etc. I would avoid candy that melts easily.
Tie up the pumpkin stems and secure
Gather the edges of the tissue paper around the candy center, fold them over each other as you go around, and bring them up to a peak in the middle of the pumpkin. Tightly twist the tissue paper together at the top to make the stem.
Tie one of your pipe cleaners evenly around the base of the stem to secure it, making sure you have pipe cleaner sticking out of both sides. Twist into corkscrew curls with your index finger as desired. Glue down any tissue paper pieces on the stem that are sticking out or unraveling.
To shape the pumpkin treats craft, lightly squeeze the body of each pumpkin to shift the candy around, making them rounded and look pumpkin-shaped.

Redgate Uncovers The Promise and Pitfalls of DevOps Adoption for the Financial Services Sector
Research reveals Financial Services is leading the way in adopting DevOps for the database and applications, although hurdles remain
Businesses in Financial Services are ahead of the healthcare and government sectors in adopting DevOps to increase their speed of development and free up developer time. This is a major finding focused on sector by sector analysis of the data from Redgate’s 2020 State of Database DevOps Report.
“The data shows they face the same obstacles and challenges, but most are still surging ahead. Those who are lagging behind may need to revisit their digital transformation plans in order to remain competitive.”
“At the heart of what makes the financial services sector so interesting is its willingness to adopt a generative culture, which focuses on breaking free of siloes and promoting a proactive, collaborative atmosphere,” notes Kendra Little, Redgate DevOps Advocate and author of the report. “It’s what makes DevOps adoption work so well. This is a far cry from the culture and structure we saw from respondents in other sectors, which were often marred by little to no cooperation, and an inability to adapt to change.”
Nowhere is this more important than Financial Services. While features need to be delivered faster in order to meet heightened expectations from customers looking for added value, regulatory requirements need to be complied with and data privacy needs to be protected.
To give businesses in the sector a deeper understanding of the particular challenges they face, a special edition of Redgate’s 2020 Database DevOps Report presents a deep dive into the survey data from Financial Services respondents.
It highlights the differences and similarities that exist for businesses in the finance sector compared to other sectors, and gives a valuable steer on where they should focus their digital transformation initiatives.

Why Move to SAP SuccessFactors HR Cloud?
Businesses live and thrive on their people. That means that as generations change, businesses have to change with them. Creating a fast, smooth, and engaging experience is what modern employees have come to expect. At the same time, businesses are increasingly turning to the cloud for the most agile and cost-effective software. At the meeting point of these two trends is SAP SuccessFactors – a cloud solution for the modern workforce. So what are the most compelling reasons to move to SAP SuccessFactors?
The Millennial Factor

Making the move to SAP SuccessFactors brings your HR into line with those expectations. You can encourage employee learning and development wherever they are, while removing the delays and paperwork that turn them off.
Cloud solutions are perfect for when budgets are tight. The monthly subscription model of SAP SuccessFactors is a powerful argument for small to medium sized businesses. On top of that, the modular SAP SuccessFactors licences mean you can add any functions as and when you need them.
Maintenance Not Required

Gauteng MEC visits Parktown Boys High after sex scandal
Gauteng MEC for education Panyaza Lesufi has encouraged learners at Parktown Boys High School in Johannesburg to report any incidents of sexual abuse.
Lesufi visited teachers and learners at the school on Tuesday after the school’s water polo coach was arrested on sexual assault charges.
“We are here to ensure that the incident never occurs again. School is a place of learning and prosperity‚ not discomfort‚” said Lesufi.
The department said learners had been issued with contact details in the event that they wish to receive further counselling and support.
“MEC Lesufi has implored SGB members to start subjecting candidates to strict HR vetting processes prior to their appointment as support staff of schools‚” the department said in a statement.
“The department has a programme advocating for school safety and a children’s rights campaign. A protocol for the management of confirmed and suspected cases of abuse is currently being updated to comply with all child protection legislation.
“The department views cases of sexual assault in a very serious light and has a zero tolerance approach on such matters. The department will not hesitate to take the necessary action where wrongdoing is proven true.”
More than 20 pupils at Parktown Boys High have accused their water polo coach of sexual assault.
The teacher was caught on surveillance footage allegedly fondling a 15-year-old boy’s genitals.
He is due back in court on July 11.

CARLSBAD-- Carlsbad softball starting pitchers Kyleigh Yerby and Marce Sapien have been dominant all year from the mound. The offense, however, remains a work in progress during critical situations.
"We definitely need to get our hitting started early. We haven't done that these past few games, and it's kind of caused a little stress toward the very end," CHS senior outfielder Sydney Christopher said. "We just need to build more confidence in the box. We may have had a rough start through district, but it doesn't mean we can't come back stronger."
The Cavegirls (21-5) addressed quality at-bats and timely hitting during practice this week. CHS coach Bobby Howard has total faith in his pitching staff. The big question is whether the lineup can complement the pitchers' efforts by tallying more than a few runs in a game. Howard wants to break that trend. He hopes the lineup will expand that margin for error when his team opens the state tournament at home against Atrisco Heritage (13-11) at 4 p.m. Saturday.
"We've worked all week on moving the runners, trying to get that big hit when the time's coming up. Sydney and Destiny, they're clutch. I expect that they're going to really savor their last state tournament," Howard said. "We have eight seniors on this squad, and they're hungry. A lot of people didn't believe that this team had what it took to get deep in the playoffs. I know they do. They know they do."
CHS' main objective Saturday will be putting runs on the scoreboard early. That will allow Yerby, who will get the start, to go right to work and not have inefficient hitting weigh heavily on her mind.
Yerby has demonstrated she can find a nice groove on the mound, usually within the first couple of innings. The lineup knows the pressure is on them to give Yerby the chance to build momentum and settle in.
"I think if we play up to our ability, we can pull through and beat them. When we score early, it's reassurance that we can keep scoring each inning to where we don't have to hurry up and catch up at the end," CHS senior third baseman Destiny Pimbley said.
This year's senior class dealt with different expectations than their predecessors. After CHS got bounced in the first round against Las Cruces last year, critics expressed concern about whether this year's seniors can help Carlsbad make amends in the 2014 tournament.
The Cavegirls hope to prove critics wrong starting Saturday, ideally with a victory.
"It'd definitely put confidence in the girls, knowing that we showed all the people that doubted us that we have a chance to go to state," Pimbley said.

Any historic landmark takes a lot of work to upkeep. Despite being an international destination spot for its beautiful nature and weather, the San Francisco Bay Area also has many historical buildings that play an integral part of the West Coast’s story.
Even though the Bay Area has evolved so much over the last couple of decades doesn’t mean the rich history has disappeared. These are the 4 benefits to preserving historical buildings of the San Francisco Bay Area.
Older buildings can be just as sustainable as anything newly built. It makes more sense to upkeep a building and improve what already exists than to demolish for something new. Instead of using resources and energy to create something new, restore and rehabilitate what needs improvement!
There is an increase in commercial value due to the higher quality materials used for these buildings to withstand the test of time!
Historical buildings retain the history of the city. They add to the Bay Area’s identity and heritage by paying homage to the past. Can you picture San Francisco without the Transamerica Pyramid, Coit Tower, or the Embarcadero piers?
Beauty is on the outside as well as the inside in this case. By applying new features in a historical building, you add on to its story. Take, for example, 140 New Montgomery building:
Preservation Success Story: 140 New Montgomery (AKA Yelp!’s Home)
Nowadays, we read about dazzling all new glass buildings that sweep everyone off their feet with incredible amenities and sustainability features. However, 140 New Montgomery proves that just because it’s been around since 1925 doesn’t mean it can’t compete against the new flashy buildings in town. The former PacBell Building is even expected to gain a gold LEED certification this year for their restoration improvements! Maybe the secret is treating the building like a business because a business always adapts to improve.
After 85 years of wear and tear, 140 New Montgomery’s terra cotta and windows received a facelift with new windows providing the building with ample lighting!
Their lobby holds a delicately painted and intact ceiling of Chinese motifs. They have replaced the lights to create a new effect for the lobby and highlight the also revised elevator and entry desk. It may gain another point in the LEED system for promoting the use of their central staircase from the restored windows.
The steps 140 New Montgomery took to becoming a stellar example of adaptation comes from focusing on maintenance: to repair what needs fixing and to highlight the property’s original character.

One feature of the war in Iraq was the speed and immediacy with which many events were reported by the media. Some of these turned out to be not quite what they seemed, others are still surrounded by confusion. Was this the fog of war, effects-based warfare, propaganda, or error? BBC News Online takes stock:
Click on the headings below to go straight to a particular section.
Journalists complained official briefings were not as informative as they might have been
Coalition account: On day one of the war, 20 March, military spokesmen for the US and UK announce that "Scud-type" missiles have been fired into Kuwait. This was significant because Iraq was banned from having Scuds or other missiles of a similar range under UN resolutions.
Clarification:Three days later US General Stanley McChrystal reports: "So far there have been no Scuds launched."
Umm Qasr falls
Coalition account: The fall of Umm Qasr, an Iraqi town and port near the border with Kuwait, is announced and reported several times in the first days of the war - the first of these on 20 March. On 21 March Admiral Michael Boyce, UK chief of defence staff, and Donald Rumsfeld, US defence secretary, report that the town has fallen to coalition forces.
Other reports: Various media outlets report heavy fighting in Umm Qasr on 22 and 23 March.
UK military's account: On the evening of 25 March British military intelligence officials report a "popular civilian uprising" in Basra. Major General Peter Wall, British Chief of Staff at Allied Central Command in Qatar, confirms that it appears an uprising has taken place, but that it is in its infancy and British troops are "keen to exploit its potential". The officials say Iraqi troops in the city turned mortar fire on their own civilians in an attempt to crush the unrest.
British journalist Richard Gaisford, who is with the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards just outside Basra, says British troops are bombarding the mortar positions in an effort to support the uprising.
Mourning the dead of the Shula market bombing
Other reports: Also on 25 March Arabic television stations report no sign of an uprising and that the city is quiet. Iraqi officials deny reports of an uprising, calling them "hallucinations".
Further UK account: On 26 March, deputy commander of British forces Major-General Peter Wall says the uprising is "just the sort of encouraging indication we have been looking for". But he adds: "To avoid any excessive optimism at this stage I should say we don't have any absolutely clear indication of the scale and scope of this uprising or exactly what has engendered it."
Conclusion: There is still no independent verification that an uprising occurred in Basra.
Initial reports: On the evening of 26 March reports emerge that a column of 120 Iraqi tanks and armoured vehicles are heading south out of Basra. Major Mick Green, of the UK's 40 Commando, is quoted by the Mirror newspaper as saying: "We have no idea why this column has come out at the moment. Their intentions or motives are totally unclear but they have adopted an offensive posture and do not want to surrender, so we have attacked them."
Later reports: Newspapers and news bulletins the next morning carry accounts of fierce fighting and a large battle.
Clarification: Later on 27 March, a British military official is quoted as saying: "It was 14-0." This is understood to have meant that the Iraqi column consisted of only 14 vehicles. The official put the initial reports down to "the fog of war" and an erroneous radar signal.
On 26 March an explosion at a market in Baghdad's Shaab district kills at least 14 civilians. The BBC's Andrew Gilligan visits the scene. "What seemed to be two missiles landed in a busy shopping parade. The nearest military building, civil defence headquarters, is I have to say at least quarter of a mile away," he reports. The cause of the blast is still disputed.
Iraqi account: Following the first blast, at Shaab, Iraq claims that coalition forces are targeting Iraqi civilians.
US account: Initial briefings from US officials say coalition aircraft targeted nine Iraqi missiles and launchers in Baghdad during 26 March. Officials say Iraqis have placed the missiles in a residential area less than 100 metres (300 feet) from homes. Later in the day, the Pentagon insists that they did not target the market area in Baghdad. Major General Stanley McChrystal of the US joint staff says he did not know whether the explosions were caused by a stray US weapon or perhaps Iraqi anti-aircraft missiles that fell back to earth.
A US military spokesman at coalition Central Command says: "Our early intelligence report provides no conclusive evidence that we have caused the damage in the civilian marketplace. One possibility and high probability is that it was caused from the fallout from the regime's anti-aircraft fire."
Checkpoints have been the scene of suicide attacks and civilian deaths
Other reports: The BBC's Andrew Gilligan says that explanation is "unlikely because we simply haven't heard any anti-aircraft fire in the city for the past four days".
On 29 March, an explosion at a market in the Shula district of Baghdad kills more than 50 civilians.
US account: A US Central Command spokesman in Qatar suggests the likely cause was Iraqi fire. One issue likely to be examined in both market bombings, the New York Times reports, is the relatively small size of the craters, in the case of the attack at Shula they were closer to the kind associated with mortars, artillery shells or small bombs, than to the kind of craters commonly caused by American bombs or missiles in Baghdad.
Other reports: The British Independent newspaper reports on 2 April that its correspondent in Baghdad, Robert Fisk, has found a 30-centimetre-long piece of shrapnel at the site of the Shula bombing showing the serial number of the bomb. The newspaper says that the number identifies the cause of the explosion as a US anti-radar missile manufactured in Texas by the Raytheon company and sold to the US navy.
UK Government account: On 2 April UK Foreign Secretary Jack Straw says of the first bombing, in the Shaab district: "It is increasingly probable that this was the result of Iraqi - not coalition - action."
On 3 April the UK Defence Secretary Geoff Hoon says that the there is no evidence that the market bombings were caused by coalition missiles other than evidence provided by the Iraqi regime. He says that there are Western intelligence reports that Iraqi officials had "cleared up" the site of the Shula bombing "to disguise their own responsibility for what took place".
Conclusion: Coalition officials say both bombings are still under investigation.
UK account: At a press conference on 27 March with the US president at Camp David, UK Prime Minister Tony Blair says that Iraq has executed two British soldiers whose bodies were shown on Arabic television.
"If anyone needed any further evidence of the depravity of Saddam's regime, this atrocity provides it," he says. "It is yet one more flagrant breach of all the proper conventions of war."
A crater left by a bombing in the Shula district
Iraqi denial: Iraqi Information Minister Mohammed Saeed al-Sahhaf says that Mr Blair has "lied to the public" about the soldiers. "We haven't executed anyone."
Later reports:: The British prime minister's spokesman later said that there was no "absolute evidence" that the UK servicemen had been executed.
Chemical weapons find
On 27 March, George W Bush says that US forces have destroyed a camp in northern Iraq belonging to Ansar al-Islam. Washington's assertion that there was a link between Osama Bin Laden's al-Qaeda network and the Baghdad regime rest mainly on the alleged links between Ansar al-Islam and al-Qaeda. US officials have consistently maintained that the discovery of the poison ricin in London was linked to this camp. UK officials have denied this.
US account: Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Richard Myers says on 30 March: "We attacked and now have gone in on the ground into the site where Ansar al-Islam and al-Qaeda had been working on poisons. We think that's probably where the ricin found in London came from."
Other reports: In London on 31 March two newspapers, the Mirror and the Sun report that the American finds at the Ansar al-Islam site offers proof that Iraq has weapons of mass destruction. The Sun argues that this justifies the war against Iraq.
Later US account: On 1 April US Brigadier General Vincent Brooks says coalition troops are yet to find any banned weapons in Iraq. Donald Rumsfeld insists Iraqi weapons of mass destruction will be found in areas in and around Baghdad and Tikrit.
Capture of Iraqi general
British account: On 30 March British forces involved in clashes in Basra say they have captured an Iraqi general. UK Group Captain Al Lockwood says the general is being asked to co-operate with UK forces in the planning operations against Iraqi resistance in Basra.
Other reports: Qatari television network al-Jazeera interviews Lieutenant General Walid Hamid Tawfiq, an Iraqi commander in southern Iraq. He insists that no general has been taken prisoner by the British.
It is still not clear whether there was an uprising in Basra
UK retraction: The UK Ministry of Defence retracts earlier claims on the capture of a general. It is believed that a captured officer was mistaken for a general.
Late on 31 March, US troops open fire on a civilian van that fails to stop at a checkpoint. Seven Iraqi women and children are killed, according to US officials.
US account: US officials say the driver of the car failed to stop after warning shots were fired over the car and then at its engine. Soldiers fired at the passenger cabin "as a last resort". US soldiers at checkpoints were said to be jumpy after a suicide attack at a checkpoint had killed four servicemen. Pentagon officials insist that the correct procedures were followed, and that soldiers had acted in "the appropriate way".
Other reports: William Branigin, a reporter with the Washington Post embedded with the US Third Infantry, witnesses the shooting and has a different account. He says that 10 people were killed, and no warning shots were fired. He reports that after the shooting Captain Ronny Johnson, the commander at the checkpoint, yelled at his platoon commander: "You just [expletive] killed a family because you didn't fire a warning shot soon enough!" US forces, according to William Branigin, offered the survivors of the incident financial compensation.
Iraqi account: Officials in the Iraqi capital say that US forces have been dropping cluster bombs on civilian areas in Iraq. First reports of the use of cluster bombs in the war appear in the Western media on 3 April.
Coalition denial:US and British officials deny the use of cluster munitions. British military spokesman Colonel Chris Vernon said: "We are not using cluster munitions, for obvious collateral damage reasons, in and around Basra."
Later UK account:A military official in London tells BBC News Online: "We have used them elsewhere." He said they were an effective weapon of warfare, for example to target a convoy of military vehicles, but were only used in the open far from built up areas. UK Defence Secretary Geoff Hoon defends the use of cluster bombs in Iraq on 4 April, saying they are legal and not using them would put British soldiers at greater risk.


India's Goods and Services Tax (GST) system, implemented in 2017 has been a subject of debate and criticism due to its high tax rates and additional cess levied on certain goods or services. Businesses have expressed concern about the financial burden imposed with rocket like GST rates that matches nowhere in the world as a fair amount, on a target in sectors like automobiles, aerated drinks and luxurious goods, where the GST rate can reach up to 28%. This, coupled with an additional cess of up to 15% on certain goods has significantly fuel the cost of doing business and prices of consumer goods.
The impact of high GST rates and additional cess has been felt across industries. Automobile manufacturers have seen a decline in sales due to higher prices, while small businesses in the unorganized sector have struggled to fullfill compliances with this complex tax architecture. Consumers have also been affected because of higher prices of goods and services, leading to concerns about the overall cost of living.
Critics argue that the high GST rates and additional cess are stifling economic growth and discouraging investment. Businesses are hesitant to expand or invest due to the increased tax burden load and some have even considered shifting their operations to countries with lower tax rates like Singapore etc. Furthermore, complexness of the GST has created a compliance headache for businesses from smaller ones with limited resources to of livelihood range.
The government has defended the GST system, stating that it has simplified the tax structure and improved tax compliance. Moreover, argue that the high rates are necessities to generate revenue and finance essential government services. However, there's no acknowledgement regarding the concerns of businesses & consumers and there's no expression of a goodwill to consider reducing the GST rates and cess in the future.
Despite the government's stance, the issue of high GST rates and additional cess remains a significant challenge for businesses and consumers in India. The government needs to strike a balance between generating revenue and supporting economic growth. A more balanced approach to taxation could help alleviate the burden on businesses and consumers. Together creating a more conducive environment for economic development and betterment of living standards can be a win win situation for both.

You just saw me trade LIVE this morning.
And if you had followed me into the opening bell, you could have made life-changing profits on today’s plays.
We’re in the middle of earnings season right now…
And with over 6000 companies announcing earnings, there’s plenty more trade opportunities to target over the next couple weeks.
All you need to find these trades is one chart.
The VWAP chart.
I mean, look at what would have happened trading 1,000 shares on some of the exceptional, peak VWAP breaks we’ve seen.
For instance I put HOUR on the watchlist at 8:06 a.m.
Just after lunch, it breaks the VWAP – and BOOM…
$2,400 profit in about an hour.
Profit shorting 1,000 shares
That one trade could have paid for an entire year’s subscription to my elite trading room.
Days later, I put ADGI and VORB on the watchlist at 8:05 a.m.
Then a week after that, I put BFSC on the watchlist at 7:53 a.m.
Will we see a move like that every single time a stock crosses my blue line?
Of course not. Sometimes we get a trade that loses money.
But since I launched Warlock’s World, I’ve had hundreds of stocks on my daily watchlist.
And when I put a stock on my watchlist, 90% of the time it delivers a winning trade that day.
Check this example out.
At 8:09 a.m., I put nine stocks on my watchlist.
Of those, eight of them broke VWAP….
Meaning eight of them delivered a trade with payday potential.
Shorting 1,000 shares of AREB would have made $730 in 11 minutes.
Who else makes that kind of money trading a $3 stock?
There has never been a better market to trade the VWAP.
And I’m going to show you exactly how to trade it.
Here’s what I’ve got in store for you with this Elite membership.
My blue line is the 1-minute VWAP (Volume-Weighted Average Price).
My orange line is the Multiday VWAP. (THIS is the one you’ve been begging for for months.)
I’ve been trading these lines for over 10 years, and these are the exact lines I use in my own trading setups. They’re the lines we use in our private trading room.
The blue line, you can get anywhere.
It’s even on Yahoo Finance.
Getting the orange line is a little more complicated.
In fact, I had to hire a software engineer to perfect the custom coding I needed to get the orange line on my charts.
And I’ve got to tell you – the blue line and orange working together…
Watching a trade go from the blue line to the orange line feels like being hugged by a giant teddy bear made of happiness and hundred-dollar bills.
And as a member of Warlock’s World, your screen can look exactly like mine.
It’s as simple as copying and pasting the code I give you into ThinkOrSwim.
This could be your screen in the next 15 minutes.
Save the “oooohs” and “aaahhhs.” It may not look like much, but check out that chart for a second.
It’s BBIG with a $2.50 entry point.
That’s dirt cheap. Almost anyone can trade it.
And blue line to orange line – that’s a MASSIVE payday.
These are the exact charts I used to find BBIG as it moved...
18% in a little over an hour…
22% in 24 minutes…
And 26% in 116 minutes.
And that’s only on one stock example.
Every day before the market opens, I’ll announce my Warlock’s Watchlist. These are the top stocks I’m watching that day – the ones I think are most likely to break the VWAP and hand out a massive payday to traders like me and you.
It’ll be posted in our private, members-only trading room. Most days, the watchlist will have five to six stocks on it. Some days, it will be as few as one or two – others, as many as 10 or 11.
It all depends on what I’m seeing in the market that day. But here’s the secret: You only need one good trade, and that’s it – it’s a profitable day. Everything after that is gravy.
VWAP went four for four the other day.
Days like that aren’t unusual. And I’ll show you exactly how to play them during our…
You can trade the VWAP all day, every day. But the best part is – you don’t have to.
If you’re doing $200 trades, you’ve got the potential to make more with the VWAP by 11:00 a.m. than most people make all day.
Remember, the most profitable time to trade the VWAP is the first hour and a half after the market opens every day.
And as a member of Warlock’s World, I’ll be there with you to trade it live five days a week.
You’ll watch over my shoulder every day the market is open. You’ll see the exact charts I’m looking at – in real time – as I hunt for the best trading opportunities.
Because having access to my VWAP charting tools is one thing… but I watch over 600 different stocks every day.
In our trading sessions, I narrow that down to the top six and show you how to find the biggest moves on the market.
The power of these trading sessions – especially once I show you how to combine the VWAP with options trades – can’t be overstated.
Just look at some of the best real results members have shared in our chat.
Now, don’t get me wrong – not everyone is that successful that quickly. Sometimes you make a bad trade and lose money.
I personally lost over $500,000 in the markets and nearly lost my house before I discovered the blue and orange lines – and developed my own VWAP code.
But I like to think I did that so you don’t have to.
I’m going to show you how to keep your risk small, your payout potential big, and your trades fast.
That’s why my Warlock’s World package includes my…
This is my ultimate guide to everything you ever wanted to know about trading the VWAP but were afraid to ask.
It includes a complete guide to the VWAP… stock trading basics... foundational options trading techniques… and more.
It’s everything you need to go from zero to expert VWAPian in 30 days or less.
The market moves fast.
And in the daily Power Hour Trading Sessions from 9:15 to 11:00 a.m., we’ve got to move with it. Oftentimes, when a stock breaks the VWAP, we get a five-minute trading window. Sometimes, less.
That’s awesome if you want to make quick gains. It’s why I can show you five or six potential winning plays in less than two hours of trading. But it doesn’t leave a lot of time for explanation. That’s where the Daily Decode comes in.
I have personally recruited one of my best friends – someone who’s been trading the VWAP with me for over a decade – to come in three times a week and make sure you have everything you need to turn my recommendations into actionable trades.
Where the boot camps will build the foundation you need be successful, the Daily Decode is laser-focused on the specific trades you need to make.
If I mentioned an options trading strategy, Bobby will make sure you know how to execute it. When we talk about limiting your risk to $60 or $80 a trade, he’ll show you how to set those stop losses in your account.
And if you have any questions about the mechanics of these trades, the VWAP, or our strategy, you’ll get a chance to have them answered LIVE.
Solid Jell-O – my personal coder (who invented my patented Multiday VWAP) – will show you how to identify significant price levels for fast profits and supercharge your charting software.
You'll have access to dozens of custom charting codes including:
And on top of that, Solid will go live two days a week to walk you through any questions you may have about coding, setting price levels, trading the market, or anything that’s on your mind.
Like I said, nothing beats being in the room with me live. But I know that life happens. Sometimes you’re going to miss one of our live sessions.
Don’t worry about it – I’ve got you covered.
We record EVERY live trading session…
EVERY Daily Decode…
EVERY Navigate the Chop…
And you can access all of them on demand from our private, members-only website. So no matter what’s going on, you never have to miss a second of the action.
There is one more thing you should know…
I’m going to be LIVE for you for 26,460 minutes a year.
And that’s just me.

OK, got it, so there is a distinct difference between machines for automation and robotics, of course, and the two aren't directly related in terms of demand. Makes sense. And Ann also made the point about the cyclic nature of industrial robotic demand. Still interesting to note!
As we discuss in my blog on the robot report, and the blog's comments, the demand for industrial robots is cyclic because of their use in specific vertical markets, mostly automotive and electronics, due to cycles in the products they assemble. But that demand also fell overall by only 4%.
I know, elizabeth Interesting variance. Not sure what the difference is. Could be that the robot numbers are a brief dip in an otherwise growing market. With the huge emphasis on automation (given increases in labor costs across Asia) I would think all products related to automation would be on the rise.

Game Warhammer 40000 Gladius Relics of War turn-based 4X-strategy in the realities of the cult universe. In the center of the game will be ancient artifacts, for the possession of which will fight four factions: the Imperial Guard, Space Marines, Orcs and Necrons. Each side has its own strengths and weaknesses, the styles of the game will also differ. Gameplay Gladius — Relics of War will recall the games of the Civilization series players will have to gather resources, make improvements and develop the base. Variety in the gameplay will make procedural generation of cards. The player will have to be in suspense until the last battle, since there is no autosave in the game, if you or the city were defeated — this is a complete failure.
This game has been updated 29-06-2020, 15:02 to the latest version v1.6.3 + All DLC.

A stranger appears at young Ronan’s Irish countryside house in 1951, and, in exchange for dinner and a bed, spins legends of long-ago knights, kings, and tyrants. Ronan is captivated by the storyteller’s accounts of Patrick, pre-sainthood, and the building of Newgrange (an Irish stone structure that predates Stonehenge). When his chilly mother, Catholic sensibilities offended, banishes the old man from the house, Ronan begins a lifelong quest to find the man and solve the mysteries of his family’s past, while forging his own career as a historian. Part period saga, part domestic drama, Ireland sometimes strains with over-wrought prose (”the echo of a sob tripped his breath”). But Delaney gracefully collects essential myths — and invents a few, too — in his heartfelt ode to the oral tradition.

L-arginine. L-arginine is an important amino acid that the body needs to build proteins. Because L-arginine has been shown to improve blood flow, some alternative practitioners have recommended that the supplements be used to treat ED. The Natural Medicines Comprehensive Database, which is a reliable authority on alternative medicines, says L-arginine is possibly effective for treating erectile dysfunction. But Harris warns that "although this supplement could improve blood flow, side effects can be dangerous." L-arginine can cause an allergic reaction or worsen asthma in some people; it can also lower blood pressure.

ED can be caused by a handful of things, but one thing’s for sure: You need a healthy supply of the neurotransmitter nitric oxide (NO) to get and maintain an erection. NO is produced in nerve tissue and helps jolt your Johnson by relaxing the smooth muscle so blood can fill the penis. After the initial release of NO, your body releases a cascade of chemicals—including more of the neurotransmitter—to help keep you hard and happy, according to a study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Well I thought this treatment was going to be a piece of cake before I started. I do remember the doctor asking me over and over do I think I want to start treatment. But my levels was high and I want this illness gone, so I decided to go with it. Make sure you take all the right vitamins to cut back on side effects. That was my big mistake but it seemed like any vitamin I took made my symptoms worst.

The medications also require a healthy endothelium and healthy arteries capable of providing increased blood flow to work. If the sex organ arteries the size of a swizzle stick are severely diseased, there will be no “bada-boom bada-bing” an hour after taking them. These medications only work by enhancing the natural effects of a healthy endothelium.
Although you should steer clear of supplements advertised online, research shows certain vitamins and herbs can help ED. They may help improve the health of your blood vessels, increase blood flow to the penis, and boost erectile function. If other treatments have failed, you’re not a candidate for ED medications, or you’re looking for a more natural approach, ask your doctor whether these supplements could be right for you. Here are three to discuss with your doctor:
Researchers discovered men who regularly consumed flavanoid-rich foods—especially those with anthocyanins, flavones, and flavanones—experienced a significantly reduced risk of the disorder than those who did not. Good news since the foods are already popular in American diets. Lead researcher Aedin Cassidy says, “…the top sources of anthocyanins, flavones and flavanones consumed in the U.S. are strawberries, blueberries, red wine, apples, pears and citrus products.”
This ancient whole grain is a great addition to your pantry if you’re suffering from quinoa fatigue, but it’ll also help you if things are drooping in the bedroom. Rich in manganese and iron, it also contains all eight essential amino acids, which boost energy levels. And for grains with as much protein as teff and quinoa, click here for Protein-Packed Power Grains!
However, you might actually be better off going one step back in the chain reaction and taking an L-citrulline supplement. While your body converts L-arginine to nitric oxide, it also metabolizes it too fast when the amino acid is taken in an oral supplement, according to a 2011 study from the University of Foggia in Italy. L-citrulline, which the body converts to L-arginine, is actually a better option to follow the same metabolic pathway and serve as a treatment for ED, the same study found.
Many are quick to pull the trigger on the doctor’s prescribed solutions such as Viagra or Cialis rather than seeking out natural erection foods that can alleviate erectile problems, but the honest truth is that neither one of those will fix the underlying problems causing the weakened erections. Sure they work in most cases, but it’s always good to remember that they deliver a chemical erection which your body still cannot naturally produce.
Dr. Shiel received a Bachelor of Science degree with honors from the University of Notre Dame. There he was involved in research in radiation biology and received the Huisking Scholarship. After graduating from St. Louis University School of Medicine, he completed his Internal Medicine residency and Rheumatology fellowship at the University of California, Irvine. He is board-certified in Internal Medicine and Rheumatology.
Conventional impotence treatments typically involve the use of medications which work with the body's natural chemistry in order to promote the ability to have an erection. Oral medications such as Viagra, Levitra and Cialis are commonly prescribed; injectable medications such as the impotence drug Caverject are also used for treating male impotence.

There are so many potential reasons a man might develop erectile dysfunction (ED), it's nearly impossible to generalize the best ways to treat it. What works for one man may not work for another simply because they are having problems for different reasons. That said, it may encouraging to hear that there are a variety of options that may be considered, from psychological counseling to lifestyle changes, medications to treatments and devices.
To correct ED, Cellular Medicine takes a different approach to that of conventional medicine. In the absence of psychological causes, the primary cause of ED is cellular dysfunction as a result of micronutrient deficiency. In this respect, ED is essentially no different to any chronic disease. To successfully resolve the problem, it is necessary to resupply the body’s cells with optimum levels of micronutrients.
ED is often treated with psychotherapy, behavior modification techniques, oral medications, locally injected drugs, vacuum devices, and sometimes even surgically implanted devices. In rare cases, surgery of the blood vessels may be necessary. In most cases, even when a physical cause is identified, emotional or psychological factors play a role as well.
It can’t be stressed enough — a healthy diet and lifestyle has numerous benefits, including in the bedroom. ED is linked to cardiovascular disease and diabetes, so eating a Mediterranean-style diet rich in fresh fruits and vegetables, healthy fats, and whole grains can reduce your chance of developing heart problems and, in turn, can alleviate your ED.
Clinical practice in TCM has been an exemplary case of customized treatment with holism epitomizes the essence of TCM. TCM encompasses these aspects, taking a holistic approach to patient’s problem and these methods combine body, mind and spirit, and healings are achieved via the concept of energy rather than matter, as in modern medicine. Compared to the complexity of modern science, which is the basis of Western medicine, this concept is easily understood and comprehended, and is readily accepted because of its holistic approach.
So, how to increase the sexual potency? Firstly, get rid of bad food habits and revise your diet consuming more foods rich in zinc, protein, vitamins, and essential fatty acids. Often, the opponents of vegetarian diet and raw food diet argue that vegetarianism/veganism and sex are incompatible. Moreover, they assert that abstinence from meat leads to a substantial decrease in male potency. Allegedly, to make a sex life active, the male diet must necessarily include meat. And more is better. In fact, this is not true. The main thing is to ensure that you get all essential nutrients from food. And the foods of plant origin are a great source of these nutrients. Let’s consider the issue in more detail.

Never ignore professional medical advice in seeking treatment because of something you have read on the WebMD Site. If you think you may have a medical emergency, immediately call your doctor or dial 911.
The development of PDE5-inhibitors is a clear example of how Western medicine approached the problem of ED differently from Eastern medicine. The erectogenic effect of sildenafil (Viagra®) was discovered by accident when patients undergoing heart clinical trials reported better erections as a side effect after taking sildenafil. This observation led to further elucidation of the NO/cGMP signalling pathway and development of PDE5-inhibitors as a first-line therapy in ED (5).
When considering vitamin supplementation for erectile dysfunction, one of the first vitamins that you may come across in literature would be Vitamin D. This is a vitamin that can be easily obtained through many types of dairy products like milk, cheese, and yogurt and is also in abundance if you live in a tropical climate. Sunlight is able to give us a natural dose of vitamin D daily.  Although vitamin D is usually associated with improving bone strength and prevention osteoporosis, another valuable feat of vitamin D is the fact that it helps reduce atherosclerosis. Studies confirm that there is a similar underlying mechanism that occurs between conditions like cardiovascular disease and erectile dysfunction. As blood vessels are damaged and filled with plaques, the diameter for blood to flow through is gradually reduced. After a few years, the amount of blood may be reduced substantially. Vitamin D is able to help activate cells that remove some of these dangerous plaques and delay the onset of ED.
Erectile dysfunction supplements and other natural remedies have long been used in Chinese, African and other cultures. But unlike prescription medications for erectile dysfunction, such as sildenafil (Viagra), vardenafil (Levitra, Staxyn), tadalafil (Cialis, Adcirca) and avanafil (Stendra), erectile dysfunction herbs and supplements haven't been well-studied or tested. Some can cause side effects or interact with other medications. And the amount of the active ingredient can vary greatly from product to product.

“I think we all recognize that nothing in our world is more necessary than the spirit of Navroz. When we see all the conflicts, the plights of migrants and refugees, when we see the rise of xenophobia and racism in so many parts of the world, it is clear that we all need the spirit of Navroz” — António Guterres, UN Secretary General, quote from film.
Simerg is pleased to present a special YouTube feature on Navroz entitled “The Spirit of Nowruz: Marking the Start of Spring” that was organized by the US Library of Congress (LOC). The entire LOC program with discussions and a Q&A session is almost 1 hour and 13 minutes long. The informative 45 minute film by award-winning documentary and educational film producer and director Farzin Rezaeian commences at the 15th minute mark of the program with remarks by UNSG António Guterres. The film provides viewers with an excellent overview of the history of Navroz and how the festival is celebrated today across different countries, cultures, traditions and faiths. Every aspect of Navroz is covered in this fine — and at times heart-warming — film that will raise our spirits as we commence the New Year on March 21, 2023, followed by the holy month of Ramadhan two days later, on March 23.

VALVE ANNOUNCES LEFT 4 DEAD 2
Sequel to Best-Selling Co-op Thriller Coming This Holiday
June 1, 2009 - Valve, creators of best-selling game franchises (such as Half-Life and Counter-Strike) and leading technologies (such as Steam and Source), today announced Left 4 Dead 2 (L4D2), the sequel to the best-selling and critically-acclaimed co-operative multiplayer thriller.
Coming exclusively to Xbox 360 and PC, L4D2 promises to set a new benchmark for co-operative action games and become one of 2009's marquee titles.
"A large part of how Left 4 Dead became 2008's top-selling new IP on Xbox 360 and the PC was the custom-tailored gameplay made possible by the AI Director," said Gabe Newell, president and co-founder of Valve. "With the knowledge gained from creating the original, new technology, and a passionate team, L4D2 will set a new benchmark for cooperative action games."
Set for release on November 17, the title adds melee combat to enable deeper co-operative gameplay, with items such as a chainsaw, frying pan, axe, baseball bat, and more.
Introducing the AI Director 2.0, L4D's dynamic gameplay is taken to the next level by giving the Director the ability to procedurally change weather effects, world objects, and pathways in addition to tailoring the enemy population, effects, and sounds to match the players' performance. The result is a unique game session custom fitted to provide a satisfying and uniquely challenging experience each time the game is played.
Featuring new Survivors, boss zombies, weapons, and items, Left 4 Dead 2 offers a much larger game than the original with more co-operative campaigns, more Versus campaigns, and maps for Survival mode available at launch.
Supported by a $10+ million marketing campaign, Left 4 Dead has sold over 2.5 million retail copies since it was released in November of 2008. Left 4 Dead 2 is targeted for release on Xbox 360 and the PC on November 17, 2009, and will be launched worldwide with a multi-million dollar marketing campaign across TV, Outdoor, and Online.
"Left 4 Dead was backed by our most aggressive advertising campaign to date, and resulted in a top 5 showing on two platforms during holiday 2008," said Doug Lombardi, VP of marketing at Valve. "Left 4 Dead 2 is a larger game and will be supported with even more consumer and retail advertising programs than the original."

Prostate cancer (PCa) is one of the most common cancers in the world.
Since androgen receptor (AR) signal plays key roles in the PCa progression, targeting androgens via the current androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is the main therapeutic strategy for advanced PCa. However, most patients who receive ADT, including the second generation anti-androgens enzalutamide (also known as MDV3100) may finally develop the castration (or anti-androgen) resistance after 12-24 months treatment. In the manuscript by Asangani et al., the authors demonstrated that targeting the amino-terminal bromodomains of BRD4 could preferentially suppress human castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) cell lines. While further studies are required to understand the full impact of their findings, the innovative approach provides a potential novel epigenetic approach for the concerted blockade of oncogenic drivers in CRPC.
