Kravet på verktyget är att det ska vara elektriskt ledande.

Vid bearbetningen skapar man en potentialskillnad i ett dielektriskt material. När detta dielektrikum sedan inte orkar hålla emot längre så skickas en gnista iväg och träffar arbetsstycket och avverkar på så vis en liten del av det. Ytan som skapas blir en inverterad bild av verktyget.

The Affordable Care Act and coverage for Massachusetts residents is at risk
Over 375,000 Massachusetts residents could lose their health coverage and the state stands to lose up to $2.4 billion in federal funds if the ACA is overturned by the Supreme Court.
By Elizabeth Warren, Amy Rosenthal, and Kate WalshUpdated October 14, 2020, 12:15 p.m.
Senator Cory Booker of New Jersey looks over at photos of Americans who have benefited from the Affordable Care Act, known as Obamacare, that were put on display on the dais by Democratic members during the Supreme Court confirmation hearing for Judge Amy Coney Barrett before the Senate Judiciary Committee on the first day of her hearing on Capitol Hill, Oct. 12.Pool/Getty
Dave was laid off from his hotel job in March due to the coronavirus pandemic, and he lost his health insurance too. A week later, he was rushed to the emergency room with a lung problem. With support from an enrollment assister, he was able to enroll in MassHealth coverage that was made possible because of the Affordable Care Act, better known as Obamacare. He is just one of the hundreds of thousands of Massachusetts residents given a lifeline by the ACA.
Related: Republicans hopeful Supreme Court battle will help shift election
Yet, the multi-year effort to repeal the law is coming to a head at the worst possible time. Just days after the November election, the US Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in a case seeking to overturn the ACA. And Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett has a clear record on the issue. She has openly questioned the constitutionality of the ACA, arguing that the Supreme Court's ruling upholding the ACA's individual mandate was "illegitimate." If she is confirmed to the court, she may provide the decisive vote to strike it down. For people like Dave, and more than 23 million others nationwide, access to health care hangs in the balance.
The need for health care coverage has never been more dire than during the COVID-19 pandemic. It has laid bare devastating racial disparities in health care access and outcomes. The ACA coverage expansions led to progress toward equity, with the gap between the insurance coverage rate for Black and white adults dropping by 4 percentage points and the difference between Hispanic and white adults falling by 9.4 points. Instead of building on these important steps, overturning the ACA would further exacerbate inequities in access to health care.
Related: New study confirms staggering racial disparities in COVID-19 cases in Massachusetts
The elimination of the ACA would also be devastating for people with specific health care needs, including 1.8 million people living with substance use disorders and mental illness. Protections would also be stripped away from 135 million people who have preexisting conditions like diabetes, cancer, asthma, and now those who have had COVID-19. Insurance companies could once again charge women 50 percent more than men for coverage and impose lifetime caps on benefits. It would strip a popular feature for families: coverage for those up to age 26 who have sought coverage on their parents' plan at a time when youth unemployment has doubled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
In Massachusetts, where our state's health reform law served as a model for the ACA, many falsely believe that we would be protected if the ACA were struck down. This is not the case. Thanks to the ACA, a number of new protections were implemented in the Commonwealth: the provision allowing young people to stay on their parents' plan and the reduction of prescription drug costs for seniors caught in the Medicare "donut hole." These protections could be gone overnight if the ACA were invalidated.
Related: Parties offer dueling views of Barrett as confirmation fight enters into Tuesday
In addition, an ACA repeal would impact access to health coverage and care for hundreds of thousands of Massachusetts consumers. The state's health insurance coverage expansions were only possible with the partnership and funding from the federal government. This is especially true for the expansion of MassHealth, our Medicaid program, as well as the availability of affordable coverage through ConnectorCare. Over 375,000 Massachusetts residents could lose their health coverage and the state stands to lose up to $2.4 billion in federal funds. These immense cuts would create a funding gap that would be impossible to fill even during normal times. The challenge is even greater now: According to some estimates, Massachusetts may face a deficit of up to $6 billion as a result of the pandemic. These funding shortfalls could have devastating implications for the health care safety net in Massachusetts.
Taking coverage away from people during the worst pandemic we have experienced in the last century is simply despicable, and we all should be outraged. Massachusetts deserves more from its president and its government. All of us must speak up, speak out, and make it abundantly clear that the ACA cannot be repealed.
Elizabeth Warren is the senior US senator from Massachusetts. Amy Rosenthal is executive director of Health Care for All. Kate Walsh is president and CEO of Boston Medical Center.

As some of you know, this weekend Stacie and I had a wonderful opportunity to participate and cook at the Plano Outlaw Eggfest. For those of you who don't know, an Eggfest is an event where Eggheads get to showcase their talents and creativity. It is not a competition and you won't normally see a lot of the foods you would normally see at a competition (such as brisket, ribs or pork shoulder) due to the limited amount of time available to cook. It's also an opportunity for those who have been contemplating purchasing a Big Green Egg to meet and talk to some Egg enthusiasts and to sample the food and see what can be cooked on an Egg.
We arrived at the American Legion in Plano at 9, and found many people had already shown up, set up and lit their Eggs. We quickly registered, found a spot and began unloading and setting up. I was a little nervous about cooking at my first Eggfest and being surrounded by people who have become legendary on the Green Eggers website, but I had planned and prepped and had a game plan. Just stick to the plan, and all would go well, I told myself.
My first menu item was to be a fattie (I'll go into more detail in a later post about what that is and how to make one). I figured it was a simple cook. Get the Egg lit and stabilize it, throw on the fattie for an indirect low and slow cook, and we would have time to finish setting up and walk around a bit and talk.
As that cooked, we did have time to visit with our neighbors and finish unpacking and getting organized. We also did walk around and sample some food. I've got to share this with you….somebody made a bread pudding made with Krispy Kreme doughnuts!! And it was as fantastic as you think it would be. Heavenly!
After our fatties were finished, we let them rest for a while and warmed up some Hawaiian King Rolls on the Egg to serve them on.
We had so many curious onlookers while we were cooking these, and they were in line and ready to get a sample. We could barely prep them fast enough. I think if we do them again, we would prep them all before even trying to serve them. They were gone in a flash and there were quite a few disappointed people who did not get a chance to taste them. To those people, I am truly sorry. I had no idea they would go that fast.
Next up, we did some sausage cheese balls. We usually cook these around the holidays, as they are a tasty appetizer and don't take a lot of work to cook. I must admit I had never tried to cook them on the Egg, but when you are cooking on the Egg indirect, it's almost the exact same thing as an oven, only with a hint of smoke, so I figured they would work out as well.
This was a quick and easy cook and I think we ended up cooking 4 separate batches.
I would pull them off and Stacie would walk around handing them out, talking about the Egg and BBQ and other stuff. Really, I don't know what she talked about, I'm just guessing here….
My parents and brother showed up to help support us and to see what all the fuss was about. My brother, even jumped in and helped out, letting me take a break for a while.
The last thing we cooked were some Piri-piri chicken wings, which we have already talked about here on this blog, so if you need the recipe of cook instructions, they are already up for review.
All in all, we had a really great time cooking at our first fest. We met a bunch of great people, tasted some outstanding food, had some laughs and some drinks. But man, did it fly by way too fast. Hard to believe cooked from 9 to 3:30 straight with out any real breaks, but it was a blast! Did I mention we won a few door prizes?
I'd gladly trade them all in for the Mini or Small Egg they gave away, but oh well. Maybe at the next one.
I am going to post up a whole page dedicated to some of the pics that we took at the fest (over 75!!) so look for that coming soon. Thanks for looking, and if you haven't been to an Eggfest, look it up, maybe there is one near you. I would strongly recommend going to one, either as a cook or just to walk around.
Here is a link to a slideshow of all the pictures. I tried to figure out how to embed it here, but couldn't seem to make it work. Suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Not sure if I could cook with the big boys like that.
Shane, I've seen some pics of your cook. You could hang. I think it helped that I prepped as much as I could at home before hand (actually I could have prepped more, but I started late and ran out of time….and desire), so there was less to do on site. I also could not have done it with my loving and supportive wife, Stacie.
Outstanding layout. Thanks for the post on Plano.
Now we expect you guys in Salado on St Pat's day this March….
Thanks, Mickey. I really want to go to that one, but as I told some people at the fest St.Patrick's Day on Lower Greenville is my wife's favorite day of the year, so we'll just have to see if they have the parade the same day as your fest.
We did, Dyal. Would have been a blast if you could have come and cooked with us. I'm jealous of that fest you have where you got your Egg. Looks like a really cool place.
Hmmmm, sausage balls on the egg…haven't thought of that. I've been trying to think of something to do on the Egg to take over to Connie's niece's for Thanksgiving. I think some slightly smoky sausage balls might be just the ticket!
It just came to me one night as I was trying to think of what to cook for the fest. I'll post up the recipe sometime this week, although its pretty simple and you probably have your own. My secret was Dizzy Pig Swamp Venom.
Looks great! We were first-timers at EggtoberWest this year, had a great time and learned from the experience. You were smart to have variety and to keep the food flowing. The door prizes seem to be better in Plano – a mini and a small egg! Good motivation for next year!
Thanks. There were a ton of dorr prizes, but we were really hoping to win either the mini or the small (as was everybody). Maybe next time.

The Mavens' Word of the Day5 stars
Random House's Mavens tackle the etymology (history and origins) of words and idioms in this daily column for high-schoolers and adults. On the question of whether "Wassup?" is a word or a contraction, Maven Enid responds "There's a better label for this kind of word, and this one gives us some insight into how a term like this comes to exist. We call it a "pronunciation spelling," which is a put-together spelling intended to express normal, casual, continuous, rapid speech. Some of these spellings, like "gonna," "gotta," and "lemme," have become frequent enough and conventionalized enough to have found a place in dictionaries."
Quotes of the Day4 stars
Quotes of the Day provides four daily quotations from an eclectic collection both contemporary (Steven Wright: "There's a fine line between fishing and just standing on the shore like an idiot.") and historic (Tolstoy: "Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.") This daily dose is but one part of a large quotations site with a search engine. You can also access random quotes from a variety of collections such as Dave Barry ("Another possible source of guidance for teenagers is television, but television's message has always been that the need for truth, wisdom and world peace pales by comparison with the need for a toothpaste that offers whiter teeth *and* fresher breath.") or Twentieth Century Quotations (Albert Schweitzer: "Happiness is nothing more than good health and a bad memory.")
Word Game of the Day5 stars
Got two minutes? These daily puzzles for high-schoolers and adults come in five formats, playing with definitions, synonyms, antonyms, word ladder transformations, slang, even some history and geography. The games require a Java-enabled browser and are based on reference material from Merriam-Webster. Some are a little slow to load, but the game play is very quick and very addictive.

This Is the Phase of the Campaign Elizabeth Warren Has Been Preparing For
But can she pull it off?
Kara Voght
Elizabeth Warren holds a rally in Nashua, New Hampshire, on February 5, 2020.Brian Cahn/ZUMA Wire
Elizabeth Warren's campaign knew things weren't looking good by mid-afternoon on Tuesday, several hours before the final ballots would be cast in New Hampshire. Campaign manager Roger Lau tempered expectations in a memo to supporters that looked ahead to Nevada and South Carolina—"two of the most diverse contests in the country"—and the Super Tuesday states, suggesting that Warren could still win the nomination with a slow, steady drip of support. "The road to the Democratic nomination is not paved with statewide winner-take-all victories," Lau wrote. "This is a district-by-district contest for pledged delegates awarded proportionally."
The message was one that Warren, her campaign, and its allies had recently been pushing: Slow and steady wins the race. In an interview with Time last week, Warren set aside the "pollercoaster" and argued a combination of that expansive organizing and her treasure trove of plans would be the keys to persuading voters only Warren could right the rigged system that was responsible for the everyday hardships they face.
Our reporters fanned out to victory parties for the top three Democratic finishers for this edition of the Mother Jones Podcast, "How Bernie Sanders Won New Hampshire." Listen:

To be clear, the idea, at least at that point, was to rely on this famous organizing infrastructure to clinch the first-in-the-nation primary (not to mention to finish more prominently in the first-in-the-nation caucus). Throughout the past week, New Hampshire Democrats told me how much time and money the Warren campaign had spent on organizing not only its own campaign, but also the campaigns of state and local officials who won their offices over the course of Warren's long candidacy. Crystal Paradis, who won her seat on the Somersworth City Council last fall, told me Warren's team showed up to her canvasses with a "vanload" of volunteers, compared to the one or two door-knockers other candidates sent her way. Paradis endorsed Warren last week, one of nearly 700 New Hampshire elected officials, activists, and community leaders to do so; the Warren campaign bragged about the "widest and deepest coalition" any candidate had built in the state.
"If I had to vote just based on the campaign built, designed, and organized, Warren's team has been there—they've been kind, they've been generous," Emmett Soldati, the chair of the Somersworth Democrats, told me.
Still, in the end, it wasn't enough. And perhaps it was never going to be. New Hampshire, after all, is a swing state, where voters have elected two Democrats to the Senate but a Trump-loving Republican to the governor's mansion. The Granite State's largest voting bloc is comprised of independents who can choose which party's primary to participate in, a dynamic that creates an opening for moderate candidates like Amy Klobuchar and Pete Buttigieg, who both finished above Warren. And while Warren is from neighboring Massachusetts, Bernie Sanders, the winner of the New Hampshire primary, is from neighboring Vermont. His organizing machine and populist appeal were evidently the right mix to make him victorious—a win five years in the making.
For all the ways Warren's particular brand of progressivism and field operation failed her in New Hampshire, the biggest test of her overall strategy is the slate of contests before her. As I've previously reported, Warren designed her many, many plans—from housing to banking to student debt—with, first and foremost, a racial justice lens. That lens, though crucial in drawing white progressives to her campaign, arguably wasn't the most natural message for Iowa and New Hampshire; after all, these states are, respectively, 90 percent and 93 percent white. The rubber meets the road for Warren now that Nevada and South Carolina are up next—states where Warren's organizers have been on the ground for almost her whole year-plus long candidacy.
"There's nobody who can weave together economic justice and racial justice like she can," says Adam Green, co-founder of the Progressive Change Committee, which backs Warren.
As she moves forward, Warren will need to make up ground with black voters, and she certainly won't be alone in trying to sustain her campaign with appeals to a more diverse electorate. A flagging Joe Biden is relying on voters of color to keep his candidacy alive—and the most recent polls suggest that support is still strong (at least it was before New Hampshire). And Sanders, Warren's chief progressive rival, has also leaned into a racial justice agenda, with rhetoric that's far more explicit than what he said during his 2016 run. He, too, has a solid operation going in the Palmetto State and strong support among nonwhite voters.
When I saw Warren's campaign in South Carolina in November, she'd made headway with white progressives whose "great awokening" has expanded their racial consciousnesses in the Trump era. Now, we'll see if she can convert those voters of color, too.

This Eurasian Wigeon is so hot right now.
Eurasian Wigeon sounds like the Moog-driven synth band you dreamed of starting in liberal arts school, but it's actually the name of a rare duck that breeds in northern Europe and Asia and winters in Africa and south Asia. That is, until last week, when one of these fancy fowls of the genus Mareca showed up in a pond on the Katy Prairie Conservancy's Indiangrass Preserve. And, folks, he is still there, causing quite the stir among Texas birders.
Some 200 visitors have already arrived from as far away as Kerrville and Austin, hoping to get a glimpse. Bob Honig, the member of KPC's Advisory Board who first spotted the bird, describes the prairie's temporary resident as so: "It has a vivid orange-red head and a forehead that appears blazing gold especially when the sun hits it."
In Great Britain and Ireland, the Eurasian Wigeon is common as a winter visitor, but not so much in the United States. While it might occasionally show up in the Four Corners, southern Appalachians, and less commonly on the mid-Atlantic and Pacific coasts, it is a downright rarity here in Houston.
Want to see this Eurasian Wigeon in person? Head over to the Indian Preserve, 31950 Hebert Road in Waller, open Tuesdays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Fridays/Saturdays, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
And if you're bonkers about birds, make sure to check out the entire Katy Prairie, comprised of 14 preserves and over 20,000 acres of protected land that's recognized as a Global Important Bird Area by the National Audubon Society. You'll find another 300 species of birds, along with tallgrass prairies, ranchlands, farmlands, wetlands, forests and riparian zones that our feathered friends love. Check out more information at katyprairie.org.

Want to become a Notary Public in California? Then it's time to go back to school. As of January 1, 2005 the California Notary commission requires the completion of a six-hour Notary Public training course. The Secretary of State of California must have approved the educational course.
Under the previous law, notaries were only required to complete a proctored written exam, approved by the Secretary of State. The changes were instituted because the notaries are a crucial part of the legal system and the need for Notary education benefits potential notary clients and notaries themselves.
The new law also gives the Secretary of State approval power over the types of courses that will fulfill the law requiring six hours of notary education. The qualification classes have existed for decades, but they have never before been required so astringently as by the law AB 1210.
Electronic signature technology and identity theft are two persuasive reasons for educational classes. California notaries need to know how to protect their clients, but they also need to know how to protect themselves. A notary is not going to gain instant expertise just by passing a test. Required course work provides the notary with the opportunity to learn the essential knowledge they will need to perform their work as well as protect their consumers.
The new law was met with much applause in California. The mobile notary public, the notary public and the loan document signing agent in California will achieve a new level of professionalism in a world where certifications are needed more and more for faith and trust.
Established notaries enjoyed the refresher course, bringing them up to date with current trends, laws and procedures. Laws are updated annually as state legislatures meet, vote and disband for each season. Not all laws affect what a notary does, but loan document signing agents may face changes to laws and procedures governing loans.
There's another benefit to professional certification. A notary that has gone through a required six hour course prior to taking their certification exam will not only meet the state's requirements, but may also protect themselves from potentially costly lawsuits. The support comes not only from the education helping to prevent costly mistakes, but the level of trust is higher in a profession that requires certification than otherwise.
Education of any kind is a positive boon for any profession. The profession of a notary public is no different. In the state of California, notary publics are definitely establishing their credibility through accredited course work. When checking out a potential course for studying to become a notary public, be sure to verify that it has its state credentials. If there are any doubts, you can always check with an inquiry to the Secretary of State's office about the credentials of a vendor prior to enrolling.

Did you know? – Jannat was shot during a live cricket match!
Vishesh Films' Jannat was a movie that totally opened our eyes to the big bad world of betting and match-fixing which almost tore the nation apart! One of Emraan Hashmi's biggest hits, the actor absolutely stole the show in his impeccable performance of a bookie who let his greed overpower his identity completely at the cost of love. On the joyous occasion of completing 10 years today, Vishesh Bhatt shared an interesting anecdote that took place while shooting in South Africa.
When shooting for an important match sequence in Cape Town, the number of people seated in the stadium were too less. To make it look authentic, the VFX expert usually fills in the empty spaces using computer graphics. However, the crowd was so sparse that the expert advised the production house to gather more people to be a part of the scene.

Hong Kong's absence in pro-wrestling scenes
In theory, professsional wrestling is as relevant as movie stars or musicians, and is as popular as soccer or basketball. Yet, one of the world's most popular cities of Hong Kong, the contrary was true. Unless it's being seen by expats, tourists who are familiar with such form entertainment in their home countries or terroritories, or individuals such as Ho Ho Lun (何顥麟) and yours truly who have seen the programmings and were instantly hooked with the first instance, the interest was in such niche that there was little caring for it as far as the television market in Hong Kong, never mind that as if there isn't enough programming or sources of entertainment for the locals already.
Before Ho Ho Lun was announced to be part of WWE Cruiserweight Classic as a competitor, truth be told, Hong Kong's professional wrestling scene was between bare or nothing as interests for sports entertainment/professional wrestling never really got off the ground in spite of its introduction back in 1969 by Ivan Ho Sau Sun (何守信). Even with its broadcast on "Sports World" program in the late 1980s with host Dominic Lam (林嘉華), the interest for this form of entertainment didn't spike interests. The early days of TVB's coverage was Ho brought footages from Australian promotion with Ho himself conducted interviews with some of the wrestlers. That was the first attempt to bring pro wrestling into Hong Kong's television market, but little attentions were paid upon by the locals as their focus were elsewhere such as Bruce Lee and his movies, the formation of ICAC – Independent Commission Against Corruption (廉政公署) battling the mass corruption within law enforcement and rescue agencies, the rise of international stature for Hong Kong and the Cultural Revolution in mainland China, or perhaps the commentaries from Ho and others reminded too much of Wuxia genre from the 1950s or from Louis Cha's novels than the actual wrestling terminology due to lack of proper translation. In other words, the initial exposure drew rather limited audience and was silenced by the mid 1970s unless it was programmed on TVB Pearl.
Before I continue with the second attempt, allow me to digress for just a moment, truth be told, as I have been following and observing pro-wrestling for more than 2 decades, have come to the realization that pro-wrestling attacks, throws, aerial techniques, holds and other maneuvers, particularly those from the last decade or so, have become nearly impossible to translate into Chinese unless an detailed explanations are provided beforehand, such as Scorpion Deathlock & Death Drop, F-5, Hurricanrana, or Muscle Buster (links are provided for wrestling terminology). Sometimes, those terminology also includes individual or tag team matches, and tournaments alike.
Then, if I recalled correctly, the next time pro-wrestling reappeared on HK television was during the Rock'n Wrestling era in the mid-1980s, I was about 10 or 11 years old at that point in time. TVB Jade launched a magazine-styled sports program called "Sports World" with Dominic Lam as host, it was aired on Saturday or Sunday late evening, and they had WWE and All Japan Women Pro Wrestling. While it garnered some attention in the beginning, it wasn't long before they stop airing that segment altogether as interests waned again. By the time I came to the United States in late June 1989, it's much of the same and the viewers resumed watching the familiar programs and left pro wrestling behind. As for yours truly, however, every Sunday at 11AM on KTVU Channel 2, it was WWE (back then it was WWF) Wrestling Challenge featuring Hulk Hogan, the late Randy Savage, Ultimate Warrior, Roddy Piper, and the cast of hundreds including the owner/chairman of the promotion, Vincent Kennedy McMahon, whom at that time was doing announcing. Then, one day about a year later, WCW programming, specifically Worldwide Wrestling, replaced Wrestling Challenge and they featured Ric Flair, Sting, Lex Luger, Barry Windham and others from what was the backbone of Jim Crockett Promotions that was bought out by Ted Turner in 1988 as a result of mismanagement on expeditures on wrestlers' salaries and gimmicks. Not long after that, WWE Superstars of Wrestling maded its run on KTVU's programming on Saturday morning at, ironically, 11AM as well. Above that, WCW (NWA at the time) Worldwide Wrestling and WWE Wrestling Challenge went back-to-back from 10AM til noon. Meanwhile, as the 1990s hit Hong Kong, all they had was WCW programming on the now-defunct Asia Television (more on that at another time) in an attempt to draw an audience, which unfortunately also failed miserably as it only broadcasted for 1 year. By the end of 2000s, unless it's to cable sports network, the main channels won't broadcast it on prime time, never mind in Sports World.
Even though WWE and other international promotions have made an effort to bring pro wrestling to China in the last few years, however, Hong Kong was virtually excluded from this conversation. While there is some sort of hope as Ho Ho Lun qualified for the Cruiserweight Classic, whether that would finally spike the interest in such form of entertainment remains to be seen. Yours truly would like to wish best of luck to Ho during the tournament and sincerely hope that I would be able to see pro wrestling would finally flourish in my birthplace in my lifetime. As for my viewership for such entertainment, this sure won't be the last discussion. Until next time ….
Update: While Ho joined WWE in the past year, his career with the company was halted as he found out that his mother became ill during his recent 3-week vacation, and he was given his release in order for him to deal with this health scare. While hoping and praying his mother get healthy as he takes on this new journey in life, I also hope he'll be able to resume his wrestling career and pick up where he left off.

Victoriano Huerta (December 22, 1850–January 13, 1916) was a Mexican general who served as president and dictator of Mexico from February 1913 to July of 1914. An important figure in the Mexican Revolution, he fought against Emiliano Zapata, Pancho Villa, Félix Díaz and other rebels before and during his time in office.
Known For: President and dictator of Mexico, February 1913–July 1914.
Born: December 22, 1850, barrio of Agua Gorda within the municipality of Colotlán, Jalisco.
Parents: Jesús Huerta Córdoba and María Lázara del Refugio Márquez.
Died: January 13, 1916, El Paso, Texas.
Education: Military College of Chapultepec.
Spouse: Emilia Águila Moya (m. November 21, 1880).
A brutal, ruthless fighter, during his reign the alcoholic Huerta was widely feared and despised by his foes and supporters alike. Eventually driven from Mexico by a loose coalition of revolutionaries, he spent a year and a half in exile before dying of cirrhosis in a Texas prison.
Victoriano Huerta was born José Victoriano Huerta Márquez on December 22, 1850, the only son and eldest of five children of peasant farmer Jesús Huerta Córdoba and and his wife María Lázara del Refugio Márquez. They lived in the barrio of Agua Gorda within the municipality of Colotlán, Jalisco. His parents were of Huichol (Wixáritari) ethnicity, and although Jesús Huerta was said to be partly of European descent (mestizo), Victoriano considered himself indigenous.
Victoriano Huerta was taught to read and write by the village priest, and he was said to have been a good student. By the time he was a teenager, Huerta earned money as a bookkeeper in Colotlán. He wanted to join the military, and sought admission to the Military College of Chapultepec. In 1871, General Donato Guerra, leader of the Mexican army at the time, led a garrison of troops into Colotlán. Needing secretarial help, Guerra was introduced to Huerta who impressed him greatly. When Guerra left the city, he took Huerta with him, and at the age of 17, Huerta entered the military academy in January of 1872. There he took classes to become an artillery officer, specializing in mathematics, mountain gunnery, topography, and astronomy. He was an outstanding student, and made second lieutenant by December 1875.
Huerra first saw military action while at the academy, when he participated in the Battle of Tecoac fought on November 16, 1876 between then-president Sebastián Lerdo de Tejada and Porfirio Diaz. As a member of the army, he fought for the president and was thus on the losing side, but the battle brought Porforio Diaz to power, the man who would he would serve for the next 35 years.
When he graduated from the academy in 1877, Huerta was one of three men chosen to continuing his education in Germany, but his father died and he elected to stay in Mexico. He joined the engineering branch of the army and was given assignments for repairing military institutions in Veracruz and Puebla. By 1879 he was promoted to Captain, and acted as engineer and quartermaster. At the end of 1880, he was promoted to Major.
While in Veracruz, Huerta had met Emilia Águila Moya, and they married on November 21, 1880: they would eventually have nine children. In January 1881,Porfirio Díaz assigned Huerta special duty on the Geographic Survey Commission, headquartered in Jalapa, Veracruz. Huerta spent the next decade working with that commission, traveling all over the country on engineering assignments. In particular he was assigned to astronomical work, and one of the projects under his direct supervision was the observation of the Transit of Venus in December 1882. Huerta also supervised surveying work for the Mexican National Railway.
Huerta's technological and intellectual uses in the army took on a more aggressive stance in the mid-1890s. In 1895, he was sent to Guerrero, where the military had risen against the governor. Diaz sent troops in, and among them was Victoriano Huerta, who there gained a reputation as an able field officer: but also as a man who gave no quarter, who continued to slaughter rebels after they had surrendered.
Proving to be an effective leader of men and a ruthless fighter, he became a favorite of Porfirio Díaz. By the turn of the century, he rose to the rank of general. Díaz tasked him with the suppression of Indian uprisings, including a bloody campaign against the Maya in the Yucatan in which Huerta razed villages and destroyed crops. In 1901, he also fought the Yaquis in Sonora. Huerta was a heavy drinker who preferred brandy: according to Pancho Villa, Huerta would start drinking when he woke up and go all day.
General Huerta was one of Díaz' most trusted military leaders when hostilities broke out after the 1910 election. The opposition candidate, Francisco I. Madero, had been arrested and later fled into exile, proclaiming revolution from safety in the United States. Rebel leaders such as Pascual Orozco, Emiliano Zapata, and Pancho Villa heeded the call, capturing towns, destroying trains and attacking federal forces whenever and wherever they found them. Huerta was sent to reinforce the city of Cuernavaca, under attack by Zapata, but the old regime was under assault from all sides, and Díaz accepted Madero's offer to go into exile in May of 1911. Huerta escorted the old dictator to Veracruz, where a steamer was waiting to take Díaz into exile in Europe.
Although Huerta was bitterly disappointed by the fall of Díaz, he signed up to serve under Madero. For a while in 1911–1912 things were relatively quiet as those around him took the measure of the new president. Things soon deteriorated, however, as Zapata and Orozco figured out that Madero was unlikely to keep certain promises he had made. Huerta was first sent south to deal with Zapata and then north to fight Orozco. Forced to work together against Orozco, Huerta and Pancho Villa found that they despised one another. To Villa, Huerta was a drunk and martinet with delusions of grandeur, and to Huerta, Villa was an illiterate, violent peasant who had no business leading an army.
In late 1912 another player entered the scene: Félix Díaz, nephew of the deposed dictator, declared himself in Veracruz. He was quickly defeated and captured, but in secret, he entered into a conspiracy with Huerta and American ambassador Henry Lane Wilson to get rid of Madero. In February 1913 fighting broke out in Mexico City and Díaz was released from prison. This kicked off the Decena Trágica, or "tragic fortnight," which saw horrible fighting in the streets of Mexico City as forces loyal to Díaz fought the federals. Madero holed up inside the national palace and foolishly accepted Huerta's "protection" even when presented with evidence that Huerta would betray him.
Huerta, who had been fighting with Madero, abruptly changed sides and arrested Madero on February 17. He made Madero and his vice president resign: the Mexican Constitution listed the Secretary of Foreign Relations as the next in succession. That man, Pedro Lasurain, took the reins, named Huerta as Minister of the Interior and then resigned, making Huerta Secretary of Foreign Relations. Madero and Vice-President Pino Suarez were killed on February 21, supposedly while "attempting to escape." No one believed it: Huerta had obviously given the order and hadn't even gone to much trouble with his excuse.
Once in power, Huerta disowned his fellow conspirators and attempted to make himself dictator in the mold of his old mentor, Porfirio Díaz.
Although Pascual Orozco quickly signed on, adding his forces to the federalists, the other revolutionary leaders were united in their hatred of Huerta. Two more revolutionaries appeared: Venustiano Carranza, governor of the State of Coahuila, and Alvaro Obregón, an engineer who would become one of the revolution's best field generals. Carranza, Obregón, Villa and Zapata could not agree on much, but they all despised Huerta. All of them opened fronts on the federalists: Zapata in Morelos, Carranza in Coahuila, Obregón in Sonora and Villa in Chihuahua. Although they did not work together in the sense of coordinated attacks, they were still loosely united in their heartfelt desire that anyone but Huerta should rule Mexico. Even the United States got in on the action: sensing that Huerta was unstable, President Woodrow Wilson sent forces to occupy the important port of Veracruz.
In June 1914, Pancho Villa moved his massive force of 20,000 soldiers to attack the strategic city of Zacatecas. The Federals dug in on two hills overlooking the city. In a day of intense fighting, Villa captured both hills and the federal forces were forced to flee. What they didn't know was that Villa had stationed part of his army along the escape route. The fleeing federals were massacred. When the smoke had cleared, Pancho Villa had scored the most impressive military victory of his career and 6,000 federal soldiers were dead.
Huerta knew his days were numbered after the crushing defeat at Zacatecas. When word of the battle spread, federal troops defected in droves to the rebels. On July 15, Huerta resigned and left for exile, leaving Francisco Carbajal in charge until Carranza and Villa could decide how to proceed with the government of Mexico. Huerta moved around while in exile, living in Spain, England, and the United States. He never gave up hope for a return to rule in Mexico, and when Carranza, Villa, Obregón and Zapata turned their attention to one another, he thought he saw his chance.
There is little to be said that is positive about Huerta. Even before the revolution, he was a widely despised figure for his ruthless repression of native populations all over Mexico. He consistently took the wrong side, defending the corrupt Porfirio Díaz regime before conspiring to bring down Madero, one of the few true visionaries of the revolution. He was an able commander, as his military victories prove, but his men did not like him and his enemies absolutely despised him.
He did manage one thing that no one else ever did: he made Zapata, Villa, Obregón and Carranza work together. These rebel commanders only ever agreed on one thing: Huerta should not be president. Once he was gone, they began fighting one another, leading to the worst years of the brutal revolution.
Even today, Huerta is hated by Mexicans. The bloodshed of the revolution has been largely forgotten and the different commanders have taken on legendary status, much of it undeserved: Zapata is the ideological purist, Villa is the Robin Hood bandit, Carranza a quixotic chance for peace. Huerta, however, is still considered (accurately) to be a violent, drunk sociopath who needlessly lengthened the period of the revolution for his own ambition and is responsible for the death of thousands.

Posted in Kenya Football News and Commentary, Kenya Sports news and commentary
Author: mawazo Published Date: December 16, 2022 Comments: Leave a Comment on Bottom Up U19 tournament is good but won't get Kenya to the World Cup
On Jamhuri day, President William Ruto announced the creation of a new tournament which will be contested in 47 Kenyan counties.
"This is the first step in our Football Vision 2030 where we target to see Harambee Stars play at the 2030 World Cup and Kenya host the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations. Together, let us build Kenyan football Bottom-up, from the grassroots of our villages to the grand stage of the World Cup." he said
This is a laudable step. It is encouraging to see the government create a realistic long term vision to see Kenya qualify for the world cup.
However creating tournaments and using them to recruit talented youth is only one step. In order for Kenya to qualify for the world cup, the country needs to develop high calibre players. There needs to be a program that identifies youth at a young age and exposes them to the best coaches who have learned modern techniques and exposes them to the best facilities and the best equipment.
Football has changed dramatically in the last two decades and Africa has been left behind. Mazy dribblers are no longer as useful as they were during the era of players like Roger Milla and Diego Maradona. Successful teams today are those with players who have excellent ball control and can maintain their poise and maintain possession in tight spaces. Players with a good first touch, are accurate passers and accurate finishers. This requires players to be refined and drilled constantly at a young age. Bad habits like hopeful crosses and unnecessary dribbling are eliminated. Modern football skills like close ball control are sharpened. In Europe, players start receiving such training as early as age seven. Indeed the Moroccan team that excelled at the 2022 World cup is made up largely of Moroccan immigrants who were born and grew up in France, Belgium and the Netherlands.
Playing in a grassroots tournament will not prepare Kenya players to compete against Europe based players. They will not develop the requisite skills. They may end up reinforcing bad habits.
So rather than just create a tournament of which there are plenty in Kenya, the government should look towards reviving the UNICEF centres of excellence that were established a decade ago but fell by the wayside. The Kenya Sports academy that was launched by the then Sports Minister Hassan Wario in 2015 should be revived. The government should try to replicate the Mathare Youth Sports Association (MYSA) model all over the country. Twenty Years ago, MYSA produced almost half of Harambee stars players like the Mulama brothers. The Kenya team that qualified for AFCON in 2004 was made up largely of MYSA players. Finally when it comes to talent development, the government should focus its efforts on areas with concentrated talent. Theres no point investing heavily in places like Moyale or Mandera.
