The New Voter's No-Sweat Guide to Voting
Election season is upon us, and learning how to vote is the first step to exercising your rights. Here are the basics of the process for all you new voters out there.
By Katie Klear, Columbia College Chicago
Everyone is talking about it. Whether it's in a Black Lives Matter post on how to support the movement, talking about new legislation in Congress, President Trump's actions or the impact of COVID-19, voting is a hot topic.
With this buzzword circulating around, the pressing need to vote is being felt by those who've been voting for years and by new voters alike. If you're a new voter, here is the basic information to help guide you through the process. If you're on the fence because of a fear of the unknown, don't let the process scare you. It is easier than you may think.
Once you turn 18, you automatically meet one requirement to be eligible to vote. However, you can't just walk in and vote on Election Day; a new voter needs to register. You can do this online, through a college drive or in a physical building (election offices, Department of Motor Vehicles, etc.).
There are some basic requirements you need to fulfill to become a new voter. You must be:
— A U.S. citizen
— A resident of the state you're registering in (you register to be a voter in a specific state)
— 18 years old on Election Day
— Not a convicted felon (If you've been convicted of a felony, you can sometimes get your right to vote restored.)

— Not judged "mentally incompetent" by a court of law
— Not registered to vote in other states
If you meet the above requirements, you can move on to filling out the registration. It takes little time and is very easy to complete.
— Fill out the section about your state of residence. You will be asked to fill out personal information (Social Security number, residential address, etc.).
— Fill out the section about your party affiliation. There is Democrat, Republican, Independent, Green, etc. If you don't associate with any party, you can choose "Other."
— Your part is done. It's now in the government's hands to approve your registration. You will be notified when you have been officially registered. Important: Being officially registered is a process, so don't wait until Election Day to register.
Congratulations on making it through the registration process. The interim between getting registered and voting on Election Day is a great time to educate yourself on candidates and their policies. Your vote is a statement of what you believe and pushes your chosen candidate one step closer to holding office, so it's important to make sure you actually stand behind them.
So, now you're registered and informed, but you have no clue how to actually vote. That's okay, you're not alone. There are three main methods of voting: absentee voting, mail-in voting and in-person voting.
Absentee voting is when you fill out your ballot at home (not in person at a polling center) and send it in to be counted. Voters have many reasons to request absentee ballots. It can be because of a pandemic, like our current situation, job constraints or not being in your voting district. So, for those going to college out of state, or even in state but far away from home, you can still vote with an absentee ballot.
— You must request an absentee ballot. Some states will mail registered voters a guide on requesting absentee ballots. If you're not sent one, you can go online to fill out a request or call your mayor's office. Some states require a valid reason for an absentee ballot; others don't. (Note that Tennessee requires new voters to vote in person for the first time unless they registered in person.)
— You will receive an absentee ballot in the mail after you've been approved. The ballot will come with instructions, which generally look like this:
— Fill out your ballot.

— Put it in the first envelope.
— Sign and seal the first envelope.
— Put that envelope into the provided prepaid return envelope.
— Sign and seal that envelope.
— Mail it out at the post office or put it in a designated ballot drop box. Important: It must be postmarked by Election Day for it to be counted.
Most people think absentee voting and mail-in voting are the same. They aren't too far off; mail-in voting is the more technical term for states that process all votes through the mail. Those states are Colorado, Hawaii, Oregon, Washington and Utah.
The mail-in ballot works the same as the absentee ballot. The difference is that you don't have to request a mail-in ballot because it gets automatically sent to every registered voter in the aforementioned states. If you live in one of those states but don't want to mail in your vote, you can opt to vote in person.

In-Person Voting
This is the method most people think of when they imagine voting. It involves walking into a physical building and waiting in line to cast your vote in a little booth. It can be intimidating for someone who has never experienced it before. Even if you were taken as a kid when your parents voted, it can still be scary to go in alone for the first time. Truthfully, it's not that bad.
Go to your polling station during the polling hours.
Your polling station is based on your residence address.
It can be found on your voter registration card.
It can be found by calling your local county election polling center.
It can be found online.
The polling hours vary by polling station, but typically they are open for a 12-hour period.
Hours can be found by contacting your local election office.
They can be found online.
You go through a check-in process, usually after waiting in line.
Walk up to the poll worker to be checked in. This is to verify you are at the correct polling station, that you have not voted in this election already and that you are registered to vote. Important: Bring a photo ID; this is a typical requirement for first-time voters.
Sign the polling book next to your name.
You will be shown which booth to cast your vote in.
Different states have different machines used for voting.
Optical Scan: Mark your paper ballot with your preferred candidates, then the completed ballot is either scanned in on-site or you drop the ballot into the ballot box to be scanned later that day at a centralized location by election workers.
Direct Electronic Recording (DRE): Mark your choices entirely on a touch screen (sometimes a poll worker will give you a card to insert into the device to start the voting session). Use the touch screen to pick your preferred candidates. Finish by tapping a button (the "finish" button varies based on the type of machine), and your vote is sent in and counted.
Paper Ballot: You will receive a paper with the different choices of candidates printed on it to mark with a provided pencil in the private voting booth. Mark the paper ballot according to the instructions (most likely it will tell you to put an "X" next to the candidate's name), and place it in the ballot box.

That's it. You leave the polling booth having done your civic duty. You have voiced your opinion about who you want to be making the decisions that impact your life as well as the larger community. You have graduated from being a new voter and are ready for the next election.
Still feel uneasy about things? Don't worry. Here are some frequently asked questions (and questions you didn't know you wanted answered):
Can I vote if I'm away at college?
Yes, see the absentee ballot section.
A photo ID. If you don't have one, check your state's requirements to see what alternative forms of ID are accepted, if any.
What does the paper look like?
Contact your state or local election official to see a sample ballot.
Do I have to fill out every section of my ballot?
No, you can fill out the ballot for as few offices as you'd like.
What if I make a mistake on the paper ballot?
You can ask for a new ballot.
Is there a limit on how long I can take in the booth?
No! Take as long as you need to make your choices. Don't feel rushed, but obviously don't stay past closing hours.
Can you be turned away in line for in-person voting?
If you meet the requirements to vote, you have the right to vote; they can't legally turn you away.
Do I have to tell people who I voted for?
No, you don't ever have to. You can keep it confidential.
What about write-in candidates?
Most states allow you to write in a custom candidate in a provided blank space. However, just writing in a candidate doesn't mean that vote will count. The requirements for a write-in vote to count will vary by state.
How can I vote early?
You have to check if your state offers early voting.
If it does, you don't need an excuse to vote early.
Check your state's early voting time period and follow the steps for voting on Election Day.
What is provisional voting?
It is when you vote on a provisional ballot, a regular ballot that is denoted as special, usually in an envelope, before being officially placed in the ballot box. When the votes are being counted, the provisional votes will be verified before being counted.
How do I cast a provisional ballot?
You can ask for instructions on how to ensure your provisional ballot is filled out correctly and will count. You can ask for a way to confirm that your vote was counted (typically a phone number will be given).
When would I use a provisional ballot?
If your name isn't on the voter list at the polling station you show up to, you can request to have a provisional ballot.
If you are denied a provisional ballot, you can call the Election Protection Hotline at 1-866-OUR-VOTE (866-687-8683).
Do I have to register for a party?
In primaries, it varies by state. In the general election, no.
Can I vote outside of my party?
Yes, in the general election, but it varies by state whether you can do so in the primary election.
What is the difference between a primary election and a general election?
Primaries are when you narrow down, within the parties, who the candidates will be for the general election, i.e., picking who will be the Democratic candidate and who will be the Republican candidate.
There are different types of primaries based on the state you live in: Open primaries, closed primaries, semiclosed, semi-opened, top-two primaries, and open to unaffiliated voters.
Some states require you to vote for the party you are affiliated with on your registration, while other states allow you to vote outside of your party affiliation.
After candidates have been narrowed down to one candidate per party, the general elections are when you vote on which of those candidates you wish to elect into office.
In general elections you can vote for any party regardless of your affiliation and even if you are unaffiliated.
You can vote in the general election even if you didn't vote in the primary election.
Still nervous to vote in person?
You can ask a poll worker for extra assistance.

There's a reason why voting is being talked about so much right now: We are nearing the end of the primary election and approaching the general election for president in November. Voting is an important way to create change in the United States (or to maintain the status quo, if you choose). It is an opportunity for your voice to be heard either way.
If you are lucky enough to qualify to be a new voter — not everyone meets the requirements — please consider registering and casting your vote, no matter who you vote for. It's not a scary process when you have all the information. There are many resources a new voter (or rusty voter) can use to help navigate the process if this guide wasn't enough. Google it, ask people you know who have voted before or ask poll workers. Vote!

While it aired for 11 seasons The X-Files have presented viewers with many mysterious and horrific cases. While they work on cases called the x-files which had been labeled as an unsolvable or minimum priority by the FBI, fans were often met with themes and links to the paranormal, of which Mulder is a firm believer, while his partner Scully a skeptic. But even with some unbelievable cases that they had gone through, could some had been based on real-life events? Who were the Ward brothers, stars of the 1992 documentary Brother's Keeper, and what was the alleged crime that inspired an episode of the hit show? Read until the very end to find out about the story that gained international attention!

The X-Files - The Episode
Many movies often take inspiration from real-life events when it comes to writing the plot of their scripts. And it has been no different. The episode in question premiered on October 11, 1996, and was the 2nd episode of the 4th season. Titled 'Home' it was the show's only episode to carry a TV-MA rating upon broadcast and the first to receive a viewers discretion warning for graphic content. In the episode, Mulder and Scully had set to investigate the death of a baby born with severe physical defects. They traveled to a small isolated town of Home, Pennsylvania, where they met the Peacocks, a family of deformed farmers who have not left their house in a decade. Initially, Mulder had suspected that the brothers had kidnapped and raped a woman to father the child, but the investigation uncovered a long history of incest, involving the Peackocks' own mother.

The X-Files - The Story Behind The Episode
While it is true that the story that we are about to tell you inspired the episode it wasn't as drastic as the one depicted on the show. The men behind the story were the Ward brothers who lived in a rural farming community near Utica, New York. There were four of them Roscoe who was born in 1919, Lyman George in 1923, William Jay in 1926, and Adelbert Daniel, known as Delbert in 1930. The brothers were all bachelors who lived in a 90-acre dairy farm southeast of Syracuse that had been in their family for generations. Their home was a rough, unpainted four-room house that had running water and electricity but no phone.

The Ward Brothers - Simple Men
The men were barely literate. They had no formal education and because of their notably low IQ, many had called them hermits and others even went as far as to call them inbred. Though people in their community had been quick to defend them with a friend of theirs, Emilie Stilwell, speaking to the press about the brothers in 1990 where she said that they do live off by themselves but they are not hermits or recluses. She had called them a "throwback to pioneer days" and added that if you need help building a barn they'd be the first to arrive to help and the last to leave. Read on to find out what happened that these brothers had gained international fame.

The Ward Brothers - Change To Quiet Life
The quiet life of the brothers changed when at the age of 64, William died in June 1990. Delbert, who had been the closest to him, was accused of smothering his brother. At first, authorities had believed that he did it as a mercy killing, putting his brother out of misery. As it was reported at the time, William was suffering from complications due to an accident with a chainsaw, often experienced intense headaches, and may have also had stomach ulcers. It was believed that on the night of his passing, Delbert smothered him in his sleep while the two shared a bed.
The Ward Brothers - Brother's Keeper
The case of the Ward Brothers had caught the attention of Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky who decided to make a documentary about them as well as Delbert's trial. It was titled Brother's Keeper and released in 1992 and was recognized as the best documentary at the 1992 Sundance Film Festival and by the New York Film Critics Circle. The documentary makers and their crew had full access to the brothers' home as well as permission to film the entire trial. Make sure to stay until the end to find out what exactly happened to the brothers.
Delbert Ward's Confession
Shortly after William's death was reported, the brothers were brought to Oneida, NY, for questioning by the state police. While there, two detectives interrogated them without a lawyer present and allegedly coerced a four-page confession out of Delbert. At the time he signed the confession but later claimed that he actually had no idea what he was signing because he could barely read and only did it because he was told by the detectives that it would be easier. Later during his trial when he took the witness stand he said: "I was nervous and shook up. I hadn't eaten all day. I was tired. My brother had just passed away... I don't know why I said it. I thought if I said yes, they would let me go home. But they didn't."
William Ward - More Theories
Around the time there had been many other wild theories going around about the death and some of them even from the authorities themselves but as some had stated they had come from a bias against the brothers because they lived on a rural farm and rarely ventured into nearby cities. It was never explicitly stated but it was implied that some members of law enforcement believed that William was either molesting Delbert or that the two brothers were involved in an incestuous relationship that ended in an accidental death. This rumor that was going around the time of the trial might have been also been one of the things in the case that inspired the creators of the X-Files.
Delbert Ward - Community Support
Despite his arrest and being put on trial for the murder of his brother, Delbert had maintained that William had died naturally and their town rallied around the youngest Ward brother. Supporters had collected nearly 900 signatures on a petition calling on the county prosecutor to review the autopsy results. And when a judge had set bail for Delbert at $10,000 the supportive community raised the entire amount in a few minutes. At his 1991 trial, Wards lawyer had argued that the brother had learning disabilities and he was isolated from the modern world, adding that when he confessed to the killing he was confused. Later when the brother was acquitted, supporters chanted "Delbert, Delbert!" and tearfully kissed him.
Ward Brothers - After The Trial
While it was never clear if Delbert was the one to have taken his brother's life or simply found his body in the morning as we mentioned the brother was found as not guilty by the jury. Though here it is also not clear if the jury was simply sympathetic to the unlikelihood of his survival in prison, or if they actually thought he was innocent. When the brother had come out of the court and was asked by reporters what his plans for the future were he simply replied with "Sleep in". And so it seemed that after the ordeal the life for the Ward brothers had gone back to the way it was before all this. However, it was rumored that Delbert couldn't bear to sleep in the room he shared with William and that he took to sleeping in a cow barn. The three remaining brothers had also passed away since Delbert dying in 1998 at the age of 67, and the final two brothers within two months of each other in 2007. All four of them were buried at the Stockbridge Cemetery in Munnsville, NY, under a headstone that reads "The Ward Boys."

A District lawmaker wants to lower the voting age to 16, inspired by the high-schoolers who are campaigning for gun control and filled D.C. streets last month in a massive protest that mesmerized the country.
It would make the nation's capital the first municipality to allow minors to cast ballots in presidential contests and the first major city to allow them to vote in local races.
D.C. Council member Charles Allen (D-Ward 6) on Tuesday will introduce legislation to lower the voting age from 18 to 16, hoping to channel youth activism to the ballot box.
In 2013, Takoma Park, Md., became the first U.S. city to allow 16- and 17-year-olds to vote in municipal elections. Two nearby small towns, Greenbelt and Hyattsville, and Berkeley, Calif., have since joined.
Last month's March for Our Lives rally for gun control and the D.C.-specific events show that young people deserve the right to help choose their leaders, Allen said.
He introduced similar legislation in late 2015, but it never came up for a hearing or vote. This time, he says the politics may be shifting.
"It's pretty hard for anyone to watch the events of the last couple of months and not understand the pure power and maturity of incredibly young voices," he said.
He suggests 16 because it's the age teenagers can drive, work legally and pay taxes.
Student activism was credited for lowering the voting age once before, in 1971, when Congress passed the 26th Amendment to the Constitution to allow people 18 and older to vote. Young protesters during the Vietnam War argued that it was unfair that young men who were being drafted were unable to vote for the leaders who were sending them into battle. Before the amendment, many states set the minimum voting age at 21. The amendment did not prevent states from setting the age lower than 18.
Advocates for lowering the voting age see a parallel with the teenagers who survived the Feb. 14 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida, and who have emerged as national advocates for gun control and sparring partners for politicians.
Allen chairs the D.C. Council committee that will consider the bill, ensuring a hearing. He has support from a majority of the council, including Brianne K. Nadeau (D-Ward 1), Trayon White Sr. (D-Ward 8), Robert C. White Jr. (D-At Large), Anita Bonds (D-At Large), Vincent Gray (D-Ward 7) and David Grosso (I-At Large). On Tuesday, Mayor Muriel E. Bowser (D) also gave her backing, according to a spokeswoman.
Zion Kelly, a D.C. 17-year-old who spoke at March For Our Lives about losing his twin brother to gun violence, endorsed Allen's bill on Twitter.
The next election in the District is the June Democratic primary, where Mayor Muriel E. Bowser (D) faces no serious challengers and six members of the D.C. Council are up for reelection.

The Face of Change
Sophia Bush and More on Female Entrepreneurship and the Power of Representation
In honor of International Women's Day, four female entrepreneurs shared their greatest triumphs and struggles at The Face of Change panel, presented by Jane Walker by Johnnie Walker.

Visitors to the New-York Historical Society Center for Women's History this month will notice a curious halo in the center's rotunda, a halo of protest signs from the 2019 Women's March in Washington, D.C., that memorialize why, exactly, an estimated 100,000 women gathered in the nation's capital for a third consecutive year. "Hang in there, Ruth" reads one, "Women Deserve More Rights Than Guns Do" reads another. Videos surround the installation, featuring the most memorable moments from the march.
On Thursday night, the actress and activist Sophia Bush was surveying the space and was a little taken aback. "Not to be totally cheesy, but I walked into the rotunda, and I'm looking at the videos playing and the installation, and I'm remembering what it felt like to go to the first Women's March," she said. "I started crying." Bush was on hand for a panel, The Face of Change, hosted by Vanity Fair and Jane Walker by Johnnie Walker in honor of International Women's Day, celebrated annually on March 8. In addition to Bush, the panel featured Senior Vice President of Whiskies at Diageo North America Sophie Kelly, Axios chief technology officer Jess Szmajda, and Detroit Blows beauty salon founder and C.E.O of Nia Batts. Vanity Fair's Claire Landsbaum moderated their discussion, which covered the wide spectrum of their personal and professional stories.

While each panelist viewed being a woman in business through a different lens, each had plenty to say about representation (or lack thereof) in the modern workplace. Szmajda, who in joining Axios three weeks ago became one of the first transgender technology leaders of a mainstream media property, spoke about how empowering such examples are. "There are no stories of successful trans women," Szmajda said of the landscape up to now. "Everybody needs to see people like them in a position of success."
Batts, who founded Detroit Blows with Bush, also made the case for the power of such individual stories. "This conversation around representation is one that I've had throughout all the industries I've been fortunate enough to work in," Batts said. "But especially being a young female executive, there was always that idea of, 'When is the appropriate time for me to speak?'" Batts went on to say her parents taught her early on that there were always going to be odds stacked against her. "I grew up with parents who were old-school, and they say, 'When you walk into the room, you're going to have two strikes against you: they're going to look at you and know that you're a woman, and know that you're black,'" she said, recalling the initial struggles of breaking into business. "So I was always conscious about being prepared, making sure that I was doing a good job. . . . But I eventually grew into taking up that space."
Speaking with Vanity Fair after the panel, Bush said that while the current state of the women's movement has had a monumental impact, women in business need to play their part in creating a society that is more inclusive for all. "Everybody loves to roll their eyes at female entrepreneurs," Bush said. "There was no way that we were going to let this fail. Not an option."
Bush recalled the first Women's March, in 2017, where many women were still reeling from Donald Trump's election. "I think there was certainly fear and exasperation in the air," Bush she said. "I don't think anybody expected us to be in that position, but I also think that we were reminded that there were plenty of reasons we should have been marching before."

From 4 to 11 September 2016, the military blocked the entrances to ten Palestinian communities in the south of Nablus District, along the Huwara road. The military also blocked several roads used to access farmland and side roads. This came on top of the regular closure of the main entrance to 'Awarta, imposed by the military since the killing of Eitam and Naama Henkin in a terror attack in October 2015. These restrictions disrupted the lives of some 54,000 residents in the area. The Israeli authorities informed the Palestinian DCO that the reason for the roadblocks was the throwing of a Molotov cocktail at an Israeli vehicle in the area.
The restrictions were removed as part of the "relaxations" agreed by Israel to mark the Muslim festival of 'Eid al-Adha. However, a few days later, on 20 September, the restrictions were reinstated, and side roads and dirt tracks that had been used as an alternative to the main roads two weeks earlier were also blocked. The Palestinian DCO notified the heads of the local Palestinian councils that the second closure followed the throwing of stones at an Israeli bus near Huwara. The restrictions were removed on 26 September.
The Palestinian communities to which access was blocked were defined in the Oslo Accords as Area B, which is under the administrative responsibility of the Palestinian Authority. These are small communities whose residents depend on the regional center – Nablus – for their routine needs. Many of them work or study in the city and receive various services there, including healthcare. The restrictions forced the residents to use roundabout and even dangerous routes. Ambulances traveled along uneven surfaces; patients and elderly people were forced to walk long distances by foot; teachers were delayed on their way to school; physicians missed scheduled appointments with patients; and women, men, and children had to wait for taxis willing to take the roundabout routes.
These traffic restrictions lengthened the time needed to travel to Nablus and other communities in the district by 20 to 40 minutes, and also caused a hike in transportation costs. Public transportation in the area is based mainly on shared taxis, and the cost of a journey between Nablus and most of the communities in the area is usually in the range of NIS 5-10 (USD 1.5-2.5). Following the road closures, many of the shared taxis stopped operating and residents were forced to use private taxis at a significantly higher cost.
The restrictions, imposed without any prior warning, created a state of uncertainty among all the residents of the area, who had no way of knowing which roads had been closed, how long it would take them to reach their destination, and when the military planned to remove the restrictions. This action constituted the collective punishment of tens of thousands of people. It also refutes Israel's claim that large sections of the West Bank have been transferred to the control of the Palestinian Authority and that it does not manage these areas. As this affair shows, Israel can all too easily disrupt the lives of tens of thousands of Palestinians, while the Palestinian Authority has no ability to influence or intervene in these actions.
On Tuesday, 20 September 2016, at about three o'clock at night, my daughter Su'ad told me that they had blocked the entrance to our town, and to several other villages in the area, with dirt piles. I became anxious when I heard this, because I have diabetes and I had an appointment at the medical clinic scheduled for that day. It's a monthly appointment that I must keep, because I have to undergo tests and get new prescriptions for medicines. I left home at eight in the morning and got on a shared taxi. It took a roundabout route along a farmers' road through Huwara Valley, and the journey was very slow. It took us half an hour to get from Huwara to Odala, a trip that usually takes ten minutes.
When I got to the clinic, the nurse took my blood pressure as usual and told me that it was high. I told her that I had been anxious because of the closure of the road and had been sitting since dawn wondering how I would get to the clinic. I took the medication and went home by the same difficult route. I couldn't understand why they were doing this to us.
I'm very worried about the situation, because my husband also needs to go to Nablus several times a week for treatment. He has a number of medical problems, including a heart problem and urinary failure, and traveling along these roads is very difficult for him.
The restrictions also harm my sons, who work in Israel and in Huwara and have to struggle along these roads to get to their places of work. If they arrive late it causes problems with their work. No-one here can understand why they are closing the roads.
Where do they want us to go? They ignore the fact that people live here and need to go places for their daily needs – for our livelihood, health, and our very existence.
I am a science teacher at a co-ed school in Burin. I usually travel to Nablus in the morning, and then continue on to the school with my colleagues. Because of the restrictions, we had to leave half an hour early and try to travel through the villages of Tell and Madama, since we were afraid that the entrance to Burin was blocked.
We have suffered from traffic restrictions since 2000. Every time they set up roadblocks, impose restrictions, and close roads. Because I have to leave early in the morning, I don't have time to make breakfast for my children or spend time with them. I get up at 5:50 A.M. and leave home quickly in order to get to Nablus and then to my workplace in Burin. All the way I am nervous and afraid that I won't manage to meet my colleagues in Nablus and join the ride. When that happens, I have to take a taxi, and when restrictions are imposed it's very difficult to find a place in a taxi.
Feeling that your movement is limited is very disturbing. You don't know how you will get to work or back home.
I'm not interested any more in the reasons for the road closures. No one talks about that. They only talk about how to cope with the situation, get to work, make a living, and get back home. It doesn't serve any goal other than punishing and humiliating us for no reason.
I am an ambulance driver at the trauma center in 'Aqraba. The old eastern entrance to the village (the 'Aqraba-'Awarta road) has been closed since 2000. Now, since the restrictions were imposed, the main entrance to the town is also closed. The road through Beita can't be used either, because the entrance to Beita is blocked. Since the restrictions were imposed at the beginning of the month, the only way to our town is through Osarin. This is a difficult and winding road and even in emergencies we cannot drive fast, because it's really dangerous. We are responsible not only for the 'Aqraba area, but also for trauma cases, diseases, and road accidents throughout the southern part of Nablus District. There are a lot of wild boars in the southern Nablus area, and this causes road accidents. Using this road delays our work and exposes us, our patients, and other passengers along the way to danger. The only alternative to Osarin is the road through Majdal Bani Fadel, in the opposite direction. It feels as if we and the whole area are under siege.
Before 'Eid al-Adha, when the roads were closed, the Red Crescent station in Nablus sent me to pick up a patient in the village of Beita. I drove along the Beita-'Aqraba road and reached the patient, who was showing symptoms of a stroke. I evacuated him in the ambulance up to the earth barrier at the main entrance to Beita, and waited there for a Red Crescent ambulance. They transferred the patient from to their ambulance on a stretcher. If this had been a situation requiring an urgent response, such as a road accident or fire, we would really have had a problem.

DETROIT — Ford Motor's most important model, the F-150 pickup truck, finally gets a public showing here today, becoming the first big pickup made of aluminum as Ford sheds 700 pounds from a typical F-150 in the quest to save fuel.
The 2015 F-150, on sale this fall, also gets two new engines, major styling revisions, a plateful of technical updates and a marketing message that this isn't beer-can aluminum; it's military Humvee aluminum.
It'll be harder for a heavy load to dent the bed than in the steel predecessor and harder for a shopping cart to ding the door in a parking lot, Ford swears.
"All-new from the ground up," says Pete Reyes, the truck's chief engineer. "High-strength aluminum alloy for the front end, all the cab, the box, tailgate, he says.
The new frame has more high-strength, light-weight steel, and Reyes says it's "bigger, wider, stronger, but lighter."
Ford won't say how much more it costs to build the aluminum 2015 F-150 than a similar steel model, nor will it telegraph prices.
"We'll maintain a level of (price) competitiveness that we need to," Joe Hinrichs, Ford Motor executive vice president, and president of its North and South American operations, said in an interview.
Cutting the truck's weight means it can be powered by smaller, less-thirsty engines, and to that end, the two new engines are relatively small. Plus, the big, top-of-the-line 6.2-liter V-8 is discontinued, at least temporarily.
Lightening the truck also "lets the customer put the weight back in" with more accessories and higher payload and towing ratings, all without overwhelming the truck, Reyes notes.
When the the vehicle that accounts for most of Ford's profits hits showrooms in the fourth quarter, the automaker's marketing will hammer home the message that this is the most capable F-150 ever: It carries and tows more than the outgoing version while getting better mileage, potential buyers will be told.
"This is a critical redesign, not just for Ford but for the entire full-size truck market as we enter an era of rapidly increasing fuel efficiency standards," said Karl Brauer, senior analyst at Kelley Blue Book. "Ford needs to establish the F150 as a future-friendly model that will keep pace with government regulations while still meeting the demands of serious truck buyers."
And truck shoppers might not even need much convincing, especially tradesmen, says Raj Nair, the group vice president in charge of Ford's global product development.
"To them, the use of aluminum is not a big deal. They use aluminum tools, and the sites where they work use aluminum materials. They don't have any concerns about it as long as it meets our standards."
Reyes noted that he was put in charge much further in advance that typical for a chief engineer, to help manage the transition to aluminum.
Ford's not an aluminum virgin. It did much of the development work that allowed Jaguar and Land Rover -- then owned by Ford -- to build their aluminum-bodied vehicles and aluminium panels. Jaguar says the 2004 XJ was its first all-aluminum model.
Yet some analysts on Wall Street aren't confident the launch will go smoothly, precisely because of aluminum's peculiarities. Brian Johnson, auto industry analyst at Barclays, mused in a December note to his clients about possible " parallels between" the aluminum F-150 "and the Boeing Dreamliner," an airplane developed under Ford CEO Alan Mulally when he worked at Boeing that's had a rocky launch.
"Both are are innovative products using lightweight materials that push the envelope," and that suggests the F-150 might risk "start-up delays like the Dreamliner," he said in the note.
Ford poured gasoline on that flickering concern by saying in December that it was cutting its profit forecast for this year to $7 billion to $8 billion, citing the new-model launches this year -- 23 globally vs. 11 in 2013.
Ford's forecast made analysts wonder how much would be due to a rough start-up in the transition to the aluminum F-150.
Ford's Dearborn, Mich., truck plant will be first to build the 2015 F-150. Once that's running well, the other F-150 factory, in Claycomo, Mo., will switch, Ford says.
The changeovers are expected to cut Ford F-150 production this year, but Hinrichs downplays that: "We have continued to find ways to keep the capacity. Believe me, we won't run out of F-150s."
To help make the point that the truck can stand up to most anything, Ford will loan 2015 F-150s to people "who have vocations, or recreational uses, that'll really put the truck through its paces -- torture test it on their own" for several weeks, says Doug Scott, Ford's Truck Group marketing manager.
Ford says interested people can go to builttoughttest.com or text 43673.
If aluminum were the whole story, it still would be a big one because it's such a fundamental — possibly risky — shift in manufacturing and marketing Ford's reliable money machine.
But the 2015 F-150 has plenty more of note.
• New engine lineup: Base is a new-design, 3.5-liter V-6, down from 3.7-liter in the current truck, but expected to be more powerful.
One step up is 2.7-liter EcoBoost turbocharged V-6, which is from an entirely new engine family that Ford has developed. The automaker promises it will have the torque and horsepower of a midlevel V-8. Ford says it tested the engine by, among other things, running the grueling Baja 1000 off-road race.
The 5-liter V-8 3.5-liter EcoBoost V-6 from the current generation trucks will continue to be offered, based on the same engine the Mustang uses and carried over from the current generation trucks. 3.5-liter EcoBoost V-6, also carried over.
• Functional styling: Front door window "drop-down" is two inches lower, and mirrors are 3.5 inches further forward to open more viewing area just outside the door. Top of the cargo box in 1 inch lower for easier loading from the side. Tops of the doors are closer to vertical, for more lateral head space inside.
• Fancy and useful options: Cleat system on the cargo box walls can hold telescoping ramps that can be used to load garden tractors, ATVs and the like.
LED box lights help owners who use tonneau covers see what's in the box.
There now will be a power-lock tailgate, aping Chrysler Group's Ram truck feature,allowing the gate to be unlatched remotely and drift down gently because its movement now is damped.
High-power lights under the mirrors for work and camping.
There will be a full 360-degree view, via cameras in front, in back and on the mirrors. It'll provide a bird's-eye view to show what's all around, or a variety of other perspectives for parking, loading and navigating tight spots.
Trailer monitor that alerts the driver to any faults, such as a burned-out taillight.
Built-in 120-volt outlet handles 400 watts, up from 125 watts, for serious recharging jobs.
Also look for a huge panorama moon roof.

Sean Adl-Tabatabai – President Trump has slammed the hypocrisy shown by Democrats as they continue to block his attempts at funding the US-Mexico border wall.
Trump took to Twitter Wednesday, asking why former President Barack Obama "gave Iran 150 Billion Dollars," yet the Democratic Party continues to oppose the $5 billion needed to secure the country's border.
Breitbart.com reports: "The Democrats and President Obama gave Iran 150 Billion Dollars and got nothing, but they can't give 5 Billion Dollars for National Security and a Wall?" Trump asked on Twitter.
The president was referring to former President Barack Obama's controversial $1.7 billion settlement with Iran including a special delivery of $400 million in pallets of cash to the country on the same day that Iran released American prisoners.
Trump demanded Tuesday that Democrats support a deal that includes additional border security funds in a meeting with House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.
The president also pointed to the recent terrorist attack in France as proof that the United States needed a secure wall on the border.
Let us not kill each other as this is just what they are hoping for. Just remember all the hollow bullets the former presidents ordered For Homeland security and FEMA camps. Stop allowing them to use ourselves to destroy our nation. If we are going to use power then let us remove the people in power who are creating this mess, it's been both the big D's and big R's doing the bidding of their masters who are working on us destroying ourselves. These gangsters in government have never been for the people of this country as is evidence with the sorry state of our nation. These thugs have sold us all out with their traitorous actions and our taxpayers looted to pay for our own destruction . Let us not do the dirty work for them. If we use weapons against each other then you have given them this great victory for free. Why do they want your weapon's, so they can round you up and keep all their ill gotten goods and no structural damage to what they think is theirs. Let us be smarter then a second grader and take out the real problematic group of thugs and help the President to LOCK THEM ALL UP EVERY LAST ONE OF THE SORRY TRAITOROUS THUGS.!!!

Nueva Córdoba ist ein Stadtviertel der argentinischen Stadt Córdoba. Es liegt südlich des Zentrums (Centro) und ist mit 29.412 Einwohnern (2001) eines der bevölkerungsreichsten der über 400 Viertel der Stadt.

Nueva Córdoba hat eine Fläche von 123,37 ha bzw. 1,23 km2. Die Grenzen des Viertels sind der Boulevard San Juan und der Boulevard Illía im Norden, die Avenida Lugones und die Avenida Hipólito Yrigoyen im Osten, die es zum eigenständigen Parque Sarmiento hin abgrenzen, sowie im Süden die Straße Richardson und im Westen die Avenida Vélez Sársfield, an der das traditionelle Viertel Barrio Güemes beginnt.

Bevölkerung
Nueva Córdoba hat mit 238,41 Einwohnern pro Hektar (23.841 pro km2) die höchste Bevölkerungsdichte Córdobas und übertrifft dabei noch das Zentrum. Viele der Bewohner sind Studierende, die an der direkt südlich ans Stadtviertel angrenzenden Universidad Nacional de Córdoba und der im selben Campus stehenden Universidad Tecnológica Nacional studieren. Die Altersgruppen zwischen 15 und 24 (13.347 Einwohner) sowie zwischen 25 und 44 (8.455) machen den überwiegenden Teil der Bewohner aus.

Geschichte
Das Stadtviertel wurde zwischen 1886 und 1888 von Carlos Thays am Reißbrett gemeinsam mit dem Parque Sarmiento geplant, seine Vorbilder waren die zentralen Viertel von Paris, insbesondere ließ sich Thays von den von Georges-Eugène Haussmann geplanten Boulevards der französischen Hauptstadt inspirieren. 1887 wurde als Hauptboulevard die Avenida Argentina (heute Hipólito Yrigoyen) eröffnet. Das Viertel entwickelte sich bald zum Wohnviertel für die Oberschicht Córdobas. 1892 wurde mit dem Bau des Frauengefängnisses Buen Pastor begonnen, das 1901 fertiggestellt wurde. 1929 wurde eine der größten Kirchen der Stadt, die Iglesia Sagrado Corazón, im neogotischen Stil vom Kapuzinerorden gebaut.

In der zweiten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts änderte sich das Bild des Viertels radikal. Moderne Mietshochhäuser, deren Zielgruppe vor allem die Studenten der Universität Córdoba waren, verdrängten die alten Wohnhäuser. Um wenigstens einen Teil davon zu bewahren, wurden einige unter Denkmalschutz gestellt. 2007 wurde das Frauengefängnis in das Kulturzentrum Paseo del Buen Pastor umgebaut, das sich schnell zum urbanen Mittelpunkt des Viertels entwickelte.

Wirtschaft
In Nueva Córdoba befinden sich zahlreiche mittelständische Unternehmen des Dienstleistungsbereichs sowie ein Software-Entwicklungszentrum von Motorola. Weiterhin gibt es zahlreiche Gastronomiebetriebe, Bars und Diskotheken, insbesondere in der Straße Rondeau sowie der Avenida Pueyrredón. Auch der Einzelhandel ist dort vertreten.

Das Lebensniveau der Bevölkerung ist vergleichsweise hoch; so hatten 92,27 % der Haushalte im Jahr 2006 einen Telefonanschluss und 50,03 % einen PC, beide Werte liegen deutlich über dem städtischen Durchschnitt.

Over the past year and half, Applebee's has positioned itself as a happy hour destination, introducing new monthly drink specials starting at $1. Most have been classics like the Long Island iced tea, Absolut and lemonade, a Bahama Mama and a margarita (cleverly named the Dollarita). But, their latest drink special, the Shark Bowl, is a new one.
Applebee's announced the new drink yesterday on their Facebook page. "The shark that you'll swim towards. Our new Shark Bowl mucho is mixed with Captain Morgan and topped with a gummy shark," the post reads.
After further investigation, sources confirmed that the Shark Bowl is a 12-ounce frozen slushy that mixes in tropical fruit flavors with the famous rum. You can get one starting today for $13.99.
The timing of this drink seems a little random, because no, it's not shark week. However, Applebee's other drink of the month includes a $2 Captain and Cola. So, we can only assume that the restaurant chain is trying to get us out of the cold and into vacation mode — easy to do when there are tropical drinks at the ready.
The Shark Bowl is only being sold for a limited time at participating restaurants, so call ahead or check online to see if your nearest location is serving. While you're there, you can check out Applebee's new all-you-can-eat riblets, shrimp, chicken tenders and fries.

For the first time last year, the major tech company, based at Martlesham, near Ipswich, invited visitors to explore its innovations in a sponsored marquee, which returns after its highly successful inaugural outing.
The popular exhibit will offer a chance to explore cutting-edge technology and have a go at free, interactive activities and games for all ages. Show-goers will get an insight into the ground-breaking research under way at Adastral Park, which is home to a cluster of hi-tech telecommunication and technology companies.
BT and some of the Innovation Martlesham companies will showcase 5G mobile and its benefits, the future of TV, and the 'internet of things'. There will be the popular Beebot activities in the BT classroom, as well as tech challenges such as designing an app interface and a family-friendly video game "Lost Words: Beyond the Page".
The exhibit aims to inspire young Suffolk Show visitors with technology and innovation, and to encourage the next generation into STEM careers (science, technology, engineering and mathematics).
The Suffolk Show App will also be available to download again this year with a fully interactive map, ring timetables, public transport timetables and trade stand information to help visitors plan their day out, as well as a fun Treasure Trail, with prizes to be won. It will be available to download from the Apple App Store and Google Play from May 13.
Tickets for this year's Suffolk Show are now on sale. Advance tickets cost £23 while children aged under 15 will once again receive free entry. Visit www.suffolkshow.co.uk or call 01473 707117.

The future of crowdfunding: Crowd-investing?
Thanks to websites like Kickstarter, a number of small online donations made by a network of interested parties can fund a new project or start-up. Some believe that this system of crowdfunding can be used for equity investments in addition to donations, Cornwall writes.
Online donation services like Kickstarter allow entrepreneurs to fund their ideas from many small donations. Now some believe the crowdfunding method can be applied to equity investments, Cornwall writes.
Looks like I have a new example to use in class for legal changes that create new business opportunities. There are several new entities popping up due to the the growing interest in crowdfunding and the passage of the JOBS Act that will allow crowdfunding to be used for equity investments rather than just donations (the Kickstarter model). We are also seeing growth in microfinancing, which is another segment of this industry.
One entry into the wild west of crowdfunding is a Nashville-based company InCrowd Capital, founded by Phil Shmerling. Phil has started writing a blog on crowdfunding that should become a valuable resource for those interested in this budding new industry and those hoping to learn how to become an effective crowdfunder. Phil is a sharp guy who will surely offer all of us useful information through his blog.
Thus, we're merging two multi-billion dollar industries – social gaming and microfinance. We're taking the profits social games make, and reinvesting it in entrepreneurs for a profit, empowering women and buoying economies (including our own!).
While some are beginning to worry that crowdfunding is just one big train wreck, I think that the evolution of the crowdfunding industry is going to be a fascinating combination of a series of little train wrecks and some amazing successful innovations.
Who is going to win? Nobody knows, but the market will begin to give us some insights very soon.

Along the Road to Gundagai
By Anabel Dean May 31, 2021 8 Mins Read In Places
The car ride from Jugiong takes about an hour. It's the wrong road. Or, at least, not the usual way into Gundagai, a town that's a dot point loitering above the Murrumbidgee River, midway between Melbourne and Sydney.
'Turn right there,' the publican at Jugiong's Sir George Hotel directed, pointing at a distant line of poplar trees. 'You won't go past The Dog on the Tuckerbox, but it's the best bit of real Australia you'll ever see.'
You never know where a wrong road leads, but this track winds back past a parade of distractions – rock, 'roo, sheep, crow. Then it thwacks smack-bang into an Australian landscape so hauntingly familiar in Jack O'Hagan's famous 1920s folk song – 'Along the Road to Gundagai'- popularised later by country legend Slim Dusty.
Seasonal rains have freshened the scene so, yes, 'the blue gums are growin', the Murrumbidgee's flowin', beneath the sunny sky'.
Ultimately, the dirt becomes bitumen leading into Gundagai, past a line of historic buildings painted in heritage colours on Sheridan Street. This is the archetypal Australian country town: fine curtilage on wide streets, the courthouse, the Criterion Hotel, the handsome 1929 theatre.
The renowned Art Deco style diner Niagara Café is currently closed but sold recently to new owners, and there are plans to get back to business closer to Christmas this year. It's a gem of the golden era that appears today much as it was when the Australian Prime Minister John Curtin arrived unannounced for a late-night platter of steak and eggs while on a wartime fund-raising mission. It would have been an extraordinary amalgamation of politics and pans in the kitchen that night, with two other future Prime Ministers, Ben Chifley and Arthur Fadden, in the party.
Niagra Cafe, Gundagai in its heyday
Art Deco style diner Niagara Café
On the opposite side of the street, in the window, there's a vintage shopper's delight. It's an enticing coral-coloured frock with an impossibly tight-nipped waistline. The doors at Junque and Disorderly are shut, but there's a phone number displayed on the antique dresser inside. A man called John Glascott answers my call.
'John, I have fallen in love,' I confess. 'What am I to do if your shop remains closed?'
'I'll send Debbie up for you,' he responds.
By now, a mist is rolling up from the river flats, and the moon is rising over rolling hills. There's a high-heel clattering at a brisk pace along the pavement. Debbie materialises under a street light in blond mop and red lips.
'This way,' she says, jangling a bunch of keys and heading down an alleyway. She unlocks a wooden door and swipes at a switch.
The light flickers on, then off, then 'boom!' It's a glittering Aladdin's Cave. Vintage furs are lined on racks as the eye can see. Clear plastic covers are draped over pert-breasted mannequins in pretty florals and admirable dress/coat combos. I'm going to need an excellent hairdo for the clingy black and gold lame with the ostrich feather collar. How long have we got?
Junque Disorderly – shopwcases select pieces via their Instagram feed
Debbie Clarke is a trooper. She flings her couturier collection of just-so-perfect outfits over a hook in a dimly lit back room where a slip of mirror is propped against the wall. 'This one is from Paris,' she says, offering one of a number of box-ticking European designs that look never worn.
'I'll have to charge full price for that one – $80 – because I wore it 40 years ago, and I'm a bit sentimental.'
Gundagai is sentimental too. The town heaves with tales of bush balladeers, drovers, shearers, ne'er-do-wells n' do-gooders. There are bushrangers aplenty: the irrepressibly good-humoured John Gilbert ('always polite to women' but shot after killing a police constable at Jugiong in 1865). And Captain Moonlite (hanged in Sydney in 1880 but reinterred in 1995 under a Gundagai gum so that his last wishes to lie beside his love – bushranger James Nesbitt – could be granted).
Photos tacked on street-side signs celebrate the remarkable high points in a place that's always been an overnight stopping point for pioneers. They were heading into the interior by bullock cart in olden times, but amid COVID-19, they're rushing to cross the NSW/Victorian border before it closes.
Some of these travellers are propped against the bar of The Criterion Hotel. They are distracted from their pint of beer by the eerie wall murals (traded for board by artist Arnold St Claire in the 1960s), depicting the deadliest flood in Australia's recorded history. Tormented victims float as green-tinged apparitions on the pub wall; their names recorded in golden letters on a memorial board.
Gundagai was a frontier town when the early European settlers, confounded by the ebb and flow of Australian rivers systems, failed to take the advice of the local Wiradjuri people not to settle on the alluvial flats of the Murrumbidgee River.
About midnight, on 24 June 1852, heavy rains created a raging torrent, a mile wide and 20 feet deep. The flood swept away buildings and left people clinging in trees to preserve life. Around 100 people drowned, but two Indigenous men – Yarri and Jacky Jacky – rescued a third of the town in a bark canoe.
The people of Gundagai celebrated this heroic feat in 2017 with a permanent memorial. There is pride here: what was endured, how they survived. The dramatic sculpture on Sheridan Street reminds us that the iconic Dog on the Tuckerbox – about five miles out of town on the Hume Highway – is not the only reason to visit Gundagai.
Flash Jacks Gundagai private suite
Flash Jacks is another reason. It's 'an old-fashioned shack' that's actually an immaculately sleek boutique hotel commanding fine district views. It's named after one of Banjo Paterson's Gundagai shearers – remember the rousing chorus 'All among the wool, boys, all among the wool; Keep your wide blades full, boys, keep your wide blades full …' – but the building is way more lavish than a shearing shed.
Flash Jacks opened quietly last April and turns out to be pandemic perfect. There are separate entrances for each of nine guestrooms with reception via digital concierge.
It was built in 1888 as a Catholic convent, then became a school for many years before being bought and renovated by David Ferguson and his wife, Emelia. They together run the nearby historic events venue Kimo Estate (with hilltop off-grid eco-huts that are now #instafamous and booked a year in advance).
Ferguson is a local farmer and entrepreneur who has always been captivated by history. 'Gundagai has seen it all,' he reflects. 'Boom and bust, drought and flood, cart and rail, racehorses, bushrangers, presidents and poets. It lived through its history when so many other Australian country towns have just fallen, by the way.'
And a high-ceilinged room – with a soft-cushioned window seat – is just the reward for every road-weary traveller at the end of the road to Gundagai.
Flash Jacks Gundagai – a great spot for a quiet read after rolling into town
The Gobarralong Darbalara Road from Jugiong to Gundagai loosely follows the south side of Murrumbidgee River and, closer to Gundagai, the Tumut River. The journey by car takes about an hour as it winds along the river flats and softly undulating terrain. It's one of Australia's best short drives.
Landscape & Bridges
The landscape of Gundagai is dominated by the historic Prince Alfred bridge (one of the grandest in the colony when opened in 1867) and the Railway Viaduct. They're over 800 metres long, and the latticework of wooden trusses are an excellent example of early engineering solutions to crossing a major flood plain. All they need is the money for restoration and preservation.
The Railway Bridge and Prince Alfred Bridge Viaduct | The Dog on the Tuckerbox sculptor, by Frank Rusconi
Dog on the Tucker Box
The Dog on the Tuckerbox sculptor, Frank Rusconi, left another impressive legacy, and it's on permanent display at the Visitor Information Centre (open daily). Rusconi's Marble Masterpiece is a miniature cathedral showcasing the diversity of NSW marble with 20,948 individually cut and polished pieces. Incredibly, no plans or drawings have ever been found, and it appears Rusconi created the statue by sight alone over 28 years.
The Coffee Pedler has stepped into the breach. This good food café on the same street is a regular haunt for tradies in fluoro vests and farmers in flannies tucking into Shepherd's pie or, depending upon the time of day, the best smoky bacon and eggs on brioche at breakfast time.

'From Little Things Big Things Grow' is a solo show by Carly Fischer explroing the complex and often contradictory relationship between cultural agency and its commodification in a contemporary, Australian context. Through sculptures that reconstruct some of these ideas from found and fabricated fragments, the exhibition considers how cultural and environmental awareness is re-packaged as contemporary design.

Greig Beilhartz is an independent food consultant with an unparalleled depth of knowledge regarding food safety. His input was critical to the success of the Icicle food safety software project. He was able to clearly articulate the nuances of complex processes and his considerable experience made it possible to plan for unusual situations across a wide variety of food industry niches.
"The Icicle program is based on the FSEP and CODEX HACCP standard that CFIA use. Icicle speeds the process of designing a HACCP System by setting up all background material that may be needed such as plants, products, ingredients, processes materials, and packaging. Hazards are then identified and linked to the specific source. Any changes needed in formulation, ingredient packaging or equipment are easily updated and automatically changed on all forms involved.
With drop down menus, Icicle then guides users through a HACCP analysis process where biological, chemical, physical, and allergen hazards are addressed and controls identified.
Once the hazard analysis process is complete, Icicle users can then generate all 11 forms of the HACCP plan for any plant. This greatly reduces the time need to accomplish these tasks manually and increases the efficiencies where data has to be transferred from one form to the next absolutely correctly. Icicle automatically links information to plans so that a change to any area is automatically reflected throughout the plan and on all the forms .
