Solo Whist is a trick taking style of card game that was introduced to the United Kingdom in the mid-19th Century by a Dutch-Jewish community. The game derives from a Spanish game known in the United Kingdom as Ombre, but until its introduction into the United Kingdom, Solo Whist was confined primarily to Jewish communities.
Solo Whist falls into the category of trick taking card games where there is a revolving trump suit determined at the beginning of the hand. Like many games of this sort, a hand of Solo Whist consists of two phases: the bidding phase and playing phase.
One unique feature of Solo Whist is that partnerships can develop and dissolve from hand to hand, and a player will often find herself or himself pitted against the other three players.
Deck and Deal:
Solo Whist uses a standard 52 card deck without jokers. All play, including the deal, proceeds to the left (clockwise). The game is designed for four players.
Initially the first dealer is chosen at random. One way to do so is to have each player draw a card and the player with the highest card ends up being the first dealer.
After shuffling the deck, the dealer will hand the cards to the player on his or her right, who cuts the deck towards the dealer. The dealer then places the original bottom half of the deck on top of the first and deals out all the cards in the deck until each player has thirteen cards.
The most common way of distributing the cards is for the dealer to deal out three cards at a time to each player until there are only four cards remaining in the deck. The dealer deals out the last card to each player and turns the last card face up. Whatever suit this card is determines the trump suit. Once everyone notes the trump suit, the dealer returns the face up card to her or his hand.
The Bidding Phase:
Bidding in Solo Whist works differently than a lot of other trick taking games. After the dealer has indicated the trump, the first player on the dealer's left consults his or her hand and decides whether to bid or pass. In the event that all players pass, they can discard their hands and the deal will rotate clockwise to the next dealer, with this hand being declared a misdeal.
Players may also make bids depending on the complexion of the hand. Here are the different varieties of bids for Solo Whist with the point total in parentheses:
The Prop (1): a player will propose the capability of taking 8 total tricks in combination with another partner who has yet to be determined.
The Cop (1): This is an acceptance of another player's prop. If you look at your hand and see a good number of trump suits after someone has made a Prop, you may reply with the Cop, which means you and the first person to make the prop will act as partners with the other two players opposing you.
Solo (1): A solo bid means a player can take five tricks by himself or herself, and the three remaining players will attempt to stop the player with the solo bid.
Misère (2): A player bidding misère will lose every trick with there being no declared trump suit.
Abundance (3): If a player has a number of cards of a particular suit, which was not the suit the dealer exposed, this player may want to bid abundance, which is an attempt to win 9 tricks alone, but the player can wait to name the trump suit until just before that player's first turn.
Abundance in Trumps (3): This is the same as the abundance bid, except the player making this bid will use the suit exposed by the dealer as the trump suit.
Misère Ouverte (4): When bidding this version of misère, the player will attempt to lose every trick and there are no trumps. The primary difference between misère and misère ouverte, is that in the latter, after the first trick has been played, the declarer of misère ouverte will place her or his hand face up on the table so all the players can see.
Abundance Declared (6): Bidding abundance declared means you must take all 13 tricks by yourself and there are no trump suits. However, when bidding this, you do get to play first.
Each bid in the list ranks higher than the previous bid listed. Therefore a player cannot bid misère if the previous player bid abundance, for example.
Once a player passes, that player may not bid again except when this is the player to the dealer's left and another player has bid prop. The player to the dealer's left may bid cop or pass. If a prop bid is not responded to with a bid of cop, the original bidder has the option of changing to a bid of solo or passing, in which case it is a misdeal.
The Playing Phase:
Unless the contract is abundance declared, the player to the left of the dealer leads out first. Players must follow suit if they have that suit or they can play from any other suit including the trump suit. The highest card in the suit that was led wins unless a trump is played, in which case the highest trump card wins. The ranking order of cards in this game follows the standard beginning at the top with Ace, King, Queen, Jack, and 10-2.
Scoring or Settling up:
After each hand, the points are totaled. In some versions, these points can be considered multipliers for agreed upon wagers. For example if everyone agrees that each point is equal to $1, then if two players bid and make the eight tricks (or more) for a prop and cop bid, the other two players owe $1 each which goes to the winning players. However if the two fail to reach eight tricks in their prop and cop bid, they will in turn pay their opponents $1 each.
If one player bids and makes solo, as another example, each of the other players must pay the winning player $1 apiece (assuming the agreed upon stakes are $1 per point) for a total of $3, but if the one player has bid and made abundance, then each player owes the winning player $3 apiece for a total of $9.
Solo Whist has no built-in ending. Instead it ends when the players agree to stop playing.

John Ryan says:
I am looking to play in solo school. I used to play every day but it is decades since I have played. Melbourne SE suburbs preferred. If accepted into school I will be prepared to play every time school does unless exceptional circumstances arise.
Are there any places in Melbourne Australia where I could join a live solo playing school?

Burundi's 2020 elections: What is at stake?
In May 2020, Burundians will be casting their vote in a ballot that will see a new president elected, replacing the incumbent Pierre Nkurunziza.
The 2015 elections were preceded by violent street riots that culminated in a failed military coup and increased political tensions. In the aftermath of the coup, members of the civil society called for street demonstrations. Meanwhile, a number of opposition party leaders were forced to go into exile.
Attempting to mitigate the political tensions, the East African Community tasked President Yoweri Museveni from Uganda to lead the mediation process. President Museveni was seconded by former President William Mkapa of Tanzania, who acted as a facilitator in the controversial process that tried to help the conflicting sides find a lasting solution. The mediation process ended without any tangible results and the leadership of the opposition was extremely weakened by this failure. As a consequence, there were multiple splits within the opposition platform known as the Council for the Restoration of the Constitution and the Arusha Agreement (CNARED).
As the country gears towards the 2020 elections, there is a significant number of opposition leaders still living in exile. It is yet difficult to define their place and role in the near future and how their actions will influence Burundi politics.
Today, only a few months away from entering the polls, there are contradictory perceptions regarding the possible outcome of the 2020 elections. On the one hand there is uncertainty mixed with anxiety and fear of violence as the election approaches. On the other hand, there is hope and new expectations stirred by the changes that have occurred within Burundi's political arena.
The new election will take place in a post-Nkurunziza context with the opposition operating from inside the country showing an increased readiness to actively participate in the process. Besides the usual leading figures of the opposition, there are new and young political actors coming into the arena and trying to challenge the current dynamics.
The 2020 elections promise to be one of the most diverse and colourful in the electoral history of Burundi. Already and in anticipation to the approaching electoral campaign scheduled on 27 April 2020, around 10 candidates have announced their decision to run for president. Among these are Valentin Kavakure – the candidate proposed by the newly created party, the Popular National Front; Kassim Abdul from the Union for Progress and Democracy and Kefa Nibizi from the "Frodebu-Iragi rya Ndadaye" party. As the only female candidate Fidélité Nibigira will challenge her male opponents on behalf of the Alliance for the Promotion of Democracy (APDR). Among the newcomers, there is one independent candidate – Dieudonne Nahimana, who is also a pastor from one of the local churches. Leonce Ngendakumana from the Front for Democracy in Burundi (FRODEBU) is a presidential candidate representing the old school.
The 2020 election comes in the aftermath of the adoption of an amended constitution overwhelmingly confirmed by a popular referendum on 17 May 2018. The amendment led to accusations raised by the opposition regarding the president's intentions to stay in power. Many media outlets argued that president Nkurunziza pushed for a constitutional change in order to stay in power until 2034 despite the fact that he announced several times that he was not going to run for president in 2020. The designation of Evariste Ndayishimiye, a retired general and the current Secretary General of the ruling party, brought all the speculations to an end.
It is not yet very clear how the 2020 electoral process will unfold. What is clear is that the stakes are high, and all sides seem to be determined to turn the page of 2015 chaos. Despite expressed concern regarding the possibility of clashes especially between the youth of the various political parties, the prospects of violence occurring in the upcoming election are expected to be significantly low. In other words, preventing violence will not be the main stake in this election. According to a statement made by the current United Nations Assistance-Secretary General for Africa, Bintou Keita, during the Peacebuilding Commission (PBC) Ambassadorial-level meeting on Burundi on the 27th of January, election related violence is inevitable.
However, the fear of a large-scale violence erupting across the country is unfounded. In the current context, instability and violence could mainly be triggered by exogenous factors such as the radical opposition activism and attacks by armed groups from neighbouring countries. In our view, the participation of all stakeholders and the validation of the electoral process will play a major role in the future of Burundi as a stable nation. The increased number of presidential candidates, including even the independent ones, points to the importance attached to this election.
In a country emerging from years of instability, the participation of all these stakeholders is crucial for the restoration and strengthening of the fragile democracy. The absence of a politically engaged and participative opposition has been detrimental for democracy and political stability while creating an environment for a de-facto one party rule. While the primary focus of many politicians seems to be for the higher office, the experience of the past electoral results shows that vying for a seat in the parliament or in the local government should not be neglected. Politicians with a clear strategy and maturity are able to grasp this reality.
The ability to clearly articulate a realistic agenda detailing what candidates or parties will accomplish for Burundi once elected is another important stake in moving away from unproductive politics of the past. Beyond the national dynamics, the 2020 elections offer an opportunity for improved relations between the Government of Burundi and the international community, especially the West. The restoration of ties will necessarily pass by the review of the relevance of the current sanctions imposed by the European Union and the United States against some members of Burundi National Police, the Army and some official figures. It may also imply that the moment has come for the West to shift its perspective on Burundi by focusing on what is going well, be it very small. Arguably, the new relations will have to consider the increased role played by China and Russia in Burundi's international relations.
But questions remain: will the European Union and the US be willing to lift their sanctions imposed on the country after Nkurunziza leaves his office? And what will constitute the diplomatic orientation of the new leadership vis-à-vis Burundi's partnership with China and its cooperation with the West? With this in mind, the upcoming elections provide a unique opportunity for Burundi's political landscape to stabilise and its economy to come back on track. This will help in mitigating political tensions.

The deadline for employers to submit the P35 payroll return for 2017 is the 15th February 2018. This is extended to the 23rd February 2018 where both the return and balancing payment are made through Revenue's Online System ("ROS").
The vast majority of payrolls are maintained on a computerised payroll package. These software packages should be able to produce the end of year P35 reports and also create a file which can be uploaded to ROS.
Before uploading the P35 to ROS the total figures should be compared to the monthly P30 returns submitted to confirm they agree.
If monthly direct debits are submitted the balancing payment/refund due should be calculated. In order to remain on the monthly direct debit system the total direct debits should total at least 90% of the total liability for the year.
BIK computations should also be reviewed and any adjustment required (e.g. business mileage for BIK on company car) should be carried out before the final P35 return is filed with Revenue.
All staff who were in employment on the 31st December 2017 should also be issued with a summary of their pay and tax for 2017. This is known as a P60 form. Again, these forms are usually produced by the payroll software.
When an employee joins a business the employer is required to notify Revenue either by submitting the employee's previous employment details (P45 from previous employer) or where the employee does not have a P45 by submitting a P46 to Revenue. Both of these returns can be filed through ROS.
During September 2017 and October 2017 Revenue notified a large number of employers about employees who were appearing on the annual P35 return but which do not appear on the employer's employee listing (P2C). This is the list of employees that is downloaded from ROS which details each employees' tax credits and bands to apply in their payroll calculations.
The P2C list should be reviewed and the employer should notify Revenue of any employees who are not on this list.
Also, any employees who have ceased employment should be issued with a P45 before the P35 is filed with Revenue.
Please contact us if you require any assistance with your payroll calculations or returns.


If you want the perfect view of the Hong Kong skyline, skip the Avenue of Stars (not that it isn't fun) and the crowds, and head up to Marco Polo Hotel's rooftop car park. It's our favourite secret spot in the city. You can also look towards The Peak at night and watch the twinkling lights of camera flashes. For those of us who have grown up abroad, we like to think people are up there looking at the city below, and finding things to love about it like we have over time.
A cornerstone of Cantonese cuisine, the roasted meats are a common sight, with almost every restaurant serving such dishes. And unlike snobby, high-end exotic food, siu mei is inexpensive and affordable for the masses. Especially so if you are willing to wait for the daily lunch rush to clear and eat later when most places offer economical tea sets. Slap on milk tea on the side and you have a tasty meal right there.
Most people in Hong Kong aren't aware there are farms in the city that are open to the public. Tai Tong Organic Ecopark, in Yuen Long, is a good place to hang out with your friends. The 30-acre farm offers strawberry and lychee picking activities, as well as horse-riding, fishing and a barbecue that's perfect for a big day out with your mates.
How to get there: Take the MTR to Long Ping and hop on the no. K66 bus to Tai Tong, get off at Tai Tong Shan Road, and follow the signs to the Ecopark.
Tai Ping Shan Street, in Sheung Wan, is a very diverse place. From cha chaan teng to tiny cafes to cool vintage shops, it's definitely a place where you can experience multiple cultures. The fact that there usually aren't a lot of people is very attractive as well. The pace there seems to be so much slower, even though it's just right next to one of the busiest districts in Hong Kong. There are a lot of colourful street art around the area. Some people like to go there just to shoot some artsy photos, while taking a relaxing stroll. All in all, Tai Ping Shan Street is a hidden gem.
It's easy to take for granted the convenience and efficiency of travelling by MTR. Those of us who have lived in and travelled across Europe have realised that trains don't always come on time, and that the delays in Hong Kong's rail services, compared to other countries, are unbelievably infrequent, if not short. We can't believe that the MTR is on the news even when there are only slight delays!
While the city is known for its iconic skyline, there are in fact a lot of beautiful trails in this concrete jungle. We enjoy walking up the Lung Fu Shan Morning Trail that begins at the University of Hong Kong and ends at Lugard Road, where you can admire the spectacular views of the Victoria Harbour. This two-hour hike is perfect for beginners: there are well-paved paths and several rest points. If you are into history like we are, you can also stop by the historic Pinewood Battery near the intersection of Lugard and Harlech roads, which was built in 1903 and was used during the second world war.


Troop 175 is sponsored by the West Babylon Lions Club.
We are a boy led, adult supervised troop under the guidance of a Troop Committee.
Parent involvement is highly encouraged and welcome.
Merit Badge classes may run from 7:00pm to 7:30.

Why hydrogen – the 'fuel of the future' – may not be as clean as we think
Gillian D'Souza August 24, 2022

Around the world, the shift to hydrogen is being considered a key strategy to decarbonize the environment, with experts even calling it the fuel of the future. Hydrogen now features in all eight of the European Commission's net zero emissions scenarios for 2050, promising to end our dependence on fossil fuels and reduce CO2 emissions across industries. So it comes as no surprise that billions of e ...[Read More]

← The formula for improved writing!
What makes a good lead? Hint: It's usually not a question.
But it's an answer we think a lot about here, particularly with a fresh cast of students. There's no one right answer. Jack Hart talks about as many as 15 ways to start a story in his book, "A Writer's Coach." Everyone agrees there's no quicker way to lose your reader than a flat, uninteresting lead.
Get to the point. What happened? What do you want the reader to take away from your story? After you've covered an event, or done an interview, write a short note to yourself about what's most important. Write a three to six-word headline. Expand the thought and you've got your lead.
Imagine how you'd tell the story to a friend or family member. You wouldn't bury them in the details. Jere Hester gives this example: Your mind is reeling after a day of reading campaign contribution records, arcane tax codes and dealing with political spin. Mom calls: "What are you working on today, honey?" You: "Oh, a story about a congressman who pushed for a tax loophole that saved his top campaign contributor $10 million." There's your lead.
Talk it through before you write. That's why God made editors, or Craft professors. Classmates, too. That quick chat often forces you, or your listener, to summarize what's important. Prof. Hester was struggling with a feature about the discovery of a spotless leopard. He told one of the news clerks, who said, "Geez, you can't even tell a leopard by its spots anymore." Bingo!
It's the news, stupid! Give the reader the news, not circumstances and generalities. Steve Strasser provides this example: Don't write that a senior city official attacked the mayor for corruption at a press conference Wednesday. Say instead: The comptroller accused the mayor of padding his expense account.
Avoid modifiers. They show insecurity. Prof. Strasser again: Most sophisticated, discerning readers will fully and readily understand the consuming and undeniable importance of the dramatic news of a sudden stock market crash without all those dang useless sludge-like ridiculously unnecessary modifiers.
Don't get stuck. Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good, Wayne Svoboda says. If you're struggling, just write a placeholder lead and build the rest of your story. Then read what you've got: You will find an image in there, a turn of phrase, a telling detail that will become the core of the great lead that was inside you the whole time.
The Gene Simmons Approach: KISS (Keep it Simple, Stupid). When you're 50 words into a lead and you feel like you're not even halfway there, it's time to step back and simplify. Sometimes the most complex stories call for the simplest of leads. Prof. Hester remembers an editor telling him about being a copy boy with the Times the night Babe Ruth died and seeing the writer struggle with how to sum up all that living in one graf. In the end, he said it all in five words: Babe Ruth died last night.
The Sovereign Bank on Fifth Avenue was robbed (again) on July 28 — and this time, the culprit was a transvestite!
Cops say that the branch at 75th Street suffered its fourth robbery of the year, but what was different this time was the crook's choice of attire: he not only donned women's clothing and a wig, but also wore fake breasts.
Those prosthetics were, apparently, his only weapons.

KU researchers investigating possible tie between exercise and staving off Alzheimer's
Posted 6:42 pm, August 27, 2018, by Sean McDowell, Updated at 06:45PM, August 27, 2018
FAIRWAY, Kan. -- It's a race to unlock a cure for Alzheimer's Disease.
Scientists at the University of Kansas Clinical Research Center believe exercise could play a key role in preventing the condition. That's what's led researchers from the laboratory into the gym.
No pain? No gain. Weightlifters often use that expression. Researchers at the KU Alzheimer's Research Center are entering a new study, examining potential ties between exercise and cognitive decline.
Dr. Jeffrey Burns, a veteran neurologist, said his staff is looking for healthy older adults with no memory problems to participate.
"There's a lot of hope that we can prevent it," he said Monday.
Burns said physicians have always known that exercise was good for the human body's muscles, and that it wasn't so long ago researchers learned it also promotes brain health.
Dr. Jeffrey Burns
"There are some misconceptions out there. I think it's important to stress that, yeah, we can diagnose it, and we can treat it. But what we can't do is we can't cure it. We can't stop it," Burns said.
More than 5 million Americans battle Alzheimer's, including one out of three Americans aged 85 and older, which, as Burns pointed out, is one of the fastest growing segments of our population. That's why his researchers are searching for healthy volunteers over age 65 who can help with this project.
"We need people without memory problems. We need hundreds of people without memory problems to help us understand what can we do to help keep people healthy?" Burns said.
One of those subjects is 67-year-old Steve Grant, a semi-retired accountant who hails from the Gladstone area. Thus far, Burns said Grant shows no signs of the effects of cognitive decline.
"As the baby boomer generation matures, we are all more and more concerned about Alzheimer's," Grant told FOX4. "I'm personally interested in preventive measures that can save me problems with memory as I mature. I also hope it can be of service to the community at large."
"See it before it starts and stop it from progressing. That's our hope. We're going to get there someday," Burns added.
Millions of dollars in grant money from the National Institute of Health is fueling this study. Burns said he hopes to make progress in finding a cure.

Styl galant – styl w muzyce przełomu baroku i klasycyzmu, datowany na lata 1720–1760.

Styl ten rozwinął się głównie we Francji i Włoszech, oraz nieznacznie w Niemczech. Obecny był przede wszystkim w muzyce instrumentalnej (klawesynowej) oraz operowej.

Utwory utrzymane w stylu galant charakteryzują się prostą homofoniczną fakturą utworów (odejściem od barokowej polifonii), przystępnymi tematami, wdziękiem, elegancją i lekkością brzmienia.

Typowe formy, stosowane w tym stylu, to suita, rondo i jednoczęściowa jeszcze sonata.

Najważniejszymi przedstawicielami stylu galant we Francji byli François Couperin, Jean-Philippe Rameau, Jean-François Dandrieu, Jean-Henri d'Anglebert oraz Louis-Claude Daquin, we Włoszech – Domenico Scarlatti, w Niemczech zaś – Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach.

3 charged with having Eagles' Don Henley's stolen handwritten notes after rock legend himself got involved: DA
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Three people in New York have been charged with possessing rock legend Don Henley's handwritten notes and lyrics for songs including the famous "Hotel California" – and even trying for years to prevent Henley from being reunited with his documents after the Eagles band member himself got involved, officials announced Tuesday.
Glenn Horowitz, 66; Edward Kosinski, 59; and Craig Inciardi, 58, were indicted for conspiracy involving their possession of roughly 100 pages of the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer's notes and lyrics for songs on the Eagles' famous "Hotel California" album, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's office said in a Tuesday press release. The stolen property allegedly included lyrics for the songs "Life in the Fast Lane" and "New Kid in Town," and also for the six-and-a-half-minute hit, "Hotel California."
These handwritten lyrics are an integral part of the legacy Don Henley has created over the course of his 50-plus-year career.
— Irving Azoff, manager for Don Henley
The stolen documents were collectively valued at more than $1 million.
The suspects were each indicted on one count of fourth-degree conspiracy. Horowitz was also charged with attack criminal possession of stolen property and hindering prosecution. Inciardi and Kosinski were also hit with charges of criminal possession of stolen property, Bragg's office said.

Irving Azoff, Henley's manager, wrote in a statement to Fox News Digital that he and Henley were thankful to Bragg and his office, and "have faith that justice will be served."
"This action exposes the truth about music memorabilia sales of highly personal, stolen items hidden behind a facade of legitimacy. No one has the right to sell illegally obtained property or profit from the outright theft of irreplaceable pieces of musical history," Azoff wrote. "These handwritten lyrics are an integral part of the legacy Don Henley has created over the course of his 50-plus-year career. We look forward to the return of Don's property, for him and his family to enjoy and preserve for posterity."
Meanwhile, in a joint statement provided to Fox News Digital, attorneys for the trio said the men "are innocent."

"The DA's office alleges criminality where none exists and unfairly tarnishes the reputations of well-respected professionals," the statement reads. "We will fight these unjustified charges vigorously."
According to Bragg, the trio "attempted to keep and sell these unique and valuable manuscripts, despite knowing they had no right to do so."
"They made up stories about the origin of the documents and their right to possess them so they could turn a profit," the district attorney continued.

Henley's famous notes and music scores were allegedly stolen in the late 1970s by an author who was writing about the band. The author then allegedly sold the missives to Horowitz, who is described as "a rare books dealer," in 2005, the office said.
Horowitz went on to allegedly sell the documents to Inciardi and Kosinski. But when Henley himself got wind of Inciardi's and Kosinski's alleged efforts to "sell portions of the manuscripts," he filed police reportsnotified the pair that the items were stolen and demanded he get them back.
"Rather than making any effort to ensure they actually had rightful ownership, the defendants responded by engaging in a years-long campaign to prevent Henley from recovering the manuscripts," the office said.

The pair allegedly even went as far as to try to fabricate details of the documents' origins and then use those bogus details "to coerce Don Henley into buying back his stolen property." Meanwhile, they simultaneously tried to sell the manuscripts through big-name auction houses, the office said.
Horowitz also allegedly tried to exploit the death of founding band member Glenn Frey by claiming the stolen documents came from Frey.
"[Frey] alas, is dead and identifying him as the source would make this go away once and for all," he claimed wrote in an email.

It's cheap–I built the whole thing for less than $30.
It's simple to build. It only takes a few common tools and a few hours.
Keep reading for more information and instructions on how to build your own.
Most of the hard work is done with PVC pipe connectors and roller bearings. We take skate bearings and mount pairs of them 90° to each other. Then we stick pairs on the end of whatever we want to roll and place them on a rail.
They'll roll very smoothly in straight lines. (Or curves if you want to bend the tracks that way.) Mount one set of rails going right and left and you get side-to-side movement. Mount that set of rails on a different set going forward and backward and you get a rolling platform that can cover quite a large area, like the gantries that load and unload container ships. Put a down-facing camera on it and mount it above where you work and you have a camera made to show off what you're doing.
As always read through all of the instructions before starting the project. This project has a few decision points where you can customize it, and the end section is free-form.
Saw to cut PVC pipe. Which is pretty much any saw. Hacksaws and other fine-toothed saws work well. Or if you're feeling fancy there's a tool for that.
Drill. Hand drill or drill press with a 1⁄4" drill bit.
Wrench to turn bolts with a 1⁄2" head. Expanding jaw pliers will work in a pinch.
Drill vise to keep the excitement of drilling on curved pipe manageable.
Rubber mallet to make sure the PVC pipe gets firmly into the fittings.
PVC pipe glue to make sure the PVC pipe never comes out of the fittings.
Spirit level to make sure you've mounted things to properly withstand gravity.
Acetone (found in the paint section of the hardware store) rubber/latex gloves, and rags to remove the factory markings from the PCV.
Sharpie marker for marking stuff.
First aid kit and safety glasses just in case.
This is the part that holds the camera and moves side-to-side above your workspace.
(5) 1⁄2" PVC T- connectors.
(8) skate bearings (8x 8x22x7 mm) These were delightfully cheap and arrived quickly.
(8) 5⁄16" x 3⁄4" bolts.
Plastic zip ties, 6" long or so.
(4) 8-32 x 1" flat head machine screws.
(1) 7 1⁄2 x 4 1⁄2" piece of clear plastic/acrylic/etc. If you don't have a plastic store nearby you can often find smallish pieces of acrylic in the window section of the home center.
(1) 1⁄2" conduit support strap like these. They can be found at the hardware store or home center in the section with electrical conduit fittings.
(1) 8-32 x 1 1⁄2" flat head machine screw.
(1) 1⁄4" x 1" bolt. Getting a dome headed screw head (Phillips or straight) will make this one easier to work with.
You can probably make the dolly in an hour or less. The tracks may take another hour or three depending on how elaborate you get.
First we'll make the rollers. Take a PVC T connector. Lay it so it looks like the letter T with a single hole pointing down and one to the right and left. On the right side of the T mark two lines 45° off vertical each way. Cross them with another line 3⁄8" from the end. Drill two 1⁄4" holes, one each where the lines cross.
On the bottom a 5⁄8" bolt.
Using your 1⁄2" wrench and screw the sandwich into one of the 1⁄4" holes. The hole is smaller than the bolt by a bit so you'll probably need to use some firm pressure. If you find it hard going ream out the hole a bit, but leave enough plastic so the bolt has a good grip. Our goal is to have the bolt thread its self into the PVC. Secure it enough so the bearing doesn't move back and forth, but don't over-tighten and strip your threads.
Make another sandwich and do this to the other hole in the T.
Now do the same thing to another T connector. Repeat the steps above on two more T connectors but put the bearings on the left side of the T instead of the right.
Note on strength and durability: I can see someone saying "But a bolt screwed into a little bit of plastic isn't very strong!" Due to the nature, direction and spreading of forces across 8 wheels the whole thing is strong enough to give this 185 pound (84kg) man a comfortable and smooth ride. Though my lawyer says to tell you not to do that. So it will support your camera without a problem.
Tip: You can use acetone to remove the manufacturer's markings from PVC. Do it in a well venilated area and wear rubber/latex gloves.
Now assemble the PVC connectors to make basic frame to match the layout picture above. (Ignore the angle brackets and camera mount for now.) Lay one T with the wheels so they're on the left side pointing up. Connect the 8" PVC to the right of it. Then to the right of that connect another T so the wheels are on the right pointing up. Make sure both Ts have the base of the T pointing up. Connect one 5" piece to each open hole.
Take the T connector with no wheels and plug the 3 1⁄2" PVC pieces to the right and left side of the T. Then connect the remaining wheeled T's to each end with the open holes pointing down. The unwheeled T should have its open hole point toward the work table and the open hole of the wheeled Ts should be pointing toward you.
Finally connect the two halves together making sure all the wheels are on the same side. See the photos above for reference.
Place the frame on a flat surface and adjust/twist the frame until least one wheel from each corner is touching the surface at the same time. (Ideally all 8 wheels should touch at the same time but that's a level of precision that's unrealistic and it won't make a lot of difference to the how it works.
Drill 3⁄16" holes 1⁄4" out from each T connector on the 5" pieces, parallel to the 8" piece through both sides of the pipe.
Place the clear plastic in the frame so it rests on the brackets.
Drill a 3⁄16" hole through the center of the 8" piece (Or possibly off to the right if you have a huge camera with an offset mounting screw.) The hole should go through both sides of the pipe parallel to the 5" side pipes.
Take the conduit support strap and secure it in place with the 8-32 screw and nut with the nut out the outside of the frame. You may have to countersink the head of the screw into the plastic. (A touch of a 5⁄16" drill bit can do it in a pinch) You don't want the head sticking out or it can scratch the bottom of your camera.
If necessary drill the top securing hole to 1⁄4". (Mine was just a little shy of that) and thread the 1⁄4" bolt or screw through.
If you want you can cut a piece of craft foam to fit the camera mounting face and glue it in place. The can help hold and protect the camera.
This does look a bit rinky-dink. It will absolutely not drop your camera no mater what. I tested my setup by putting 10 pound-feet of torque on the mount, a lot more than a full DSLR with a heavy lens would put on it, and it didn't budge. If you're worried about your camera invest in a handlebar mount.
This is the track that the camera dolly goes back and forth on. The most important part is that it has two level rails that are 6" apart to give the camera something to roll on. The specifics are up to you and your workspace. You can make a short run of track for a simple side-to-side camera rig that sets on a table or you can go all out and make a ceiling mounted rail frame, or whatever fits your ambition, needs, and work space.
If you're making a fore and aft camera track, build it largely the same way as the camera dolly. Make it 5" deep so the tracks line up with the wheels, but instead of 8" wide, make it [workspace] wide. You can use 1⁄2" PVC for widths up to about 4 feet but longer than that and it will tend to sag in the middle. An affordable substitute is black iron or steel pipe. (Or larger diameter PVC). If you feel like spending the money and would like something lighter, aluminum pipe or L bar is a good substitute.
You can also forgo the forward and backward part if you want to keep it simple. (Though I like it because it lets me push the rig completely out of the way when I need to.) You can mount the rails straight to the wall with shower rod wall mounts, or build a frame from PVC that sits on your desk or workbench. For three of my cameras a height of about 30" above the bench was the best, but your cameras and lenses will be different.
Silent running. The current rig does make a little bit of noise, especially if you're using a metal railing and have an on-camera mike. (I use is as a second camera, so don't record sound.) Using inline skate wheels would dampen most of the noise but require a slightly different attachment method.
Automation. Applying a powered wheel or two to the rails, or a belt drive could turn it into a huge, not superbly accurate motion control camera. It could move by remote control, automatically move to motion or follow preprogrammed motion paths. Using this you could use slit scan photography to scan something the size of your entire workbench.
A third axis. Moving up and down would be great, though I don't have any good ideas on how to simply and reliably do that while keeping the entire rig stable. Feel free to suggest something!
Any other ideas? Let 'em fly in comments. If you build it I'd love to see some videos you shoot with it!

Poll finds 67 percent of students agree professors foster diverse discussions
U. does not require faculty training for facilitating discussions, offers individual help

Kate Talerico / Herald
In a 2016 Washington Post editorial, President Christina Paxson P'19 wrote that we are living in a "time of fierce debate about whether institutions of higher education are becoming places that stifle speech in the interest of protecting students from ideas and perspectives they don't want to hear."
According to The Herald's fall 2017 undergraduate poll, 67 percent of Brown undergraduates strongly or somewhat agree that professors successfully facilitate discussions that respect opposing points of view, while 23.9 percent of students strongly or somewhat disagree. Nearly three quarters of first-years agree with this sentiment — the highest percentage of any class year.
Patrick Heller, chair of the sociology department, said that at the University, conversations about controversial topics often arise during classroom discussions. "Brown faculty and students have always been committed to openly engaging with all of the difficult and challenging questions of our time," he said.
Many faculty members in the social sciences and humanities departments have been trained in teaching and leading discussions during their time in PhD programs, said Dean of the Faculty Kevin McLaughlin.
Yet, "if it's reflected in student or colleague evaluations that (discussions led by a professor) lacked focus or didn't cover material assigned for class, the department helps (that professor) improve for next year," McLaughlin said, though he added that the University does not facilitate official trainings.
Faculty can receive individual help from the Sheridan Center for Teaching and Learning. The center's website contains a number of links that provide strategies for leading effective group discussions, including advice on creating an inclusive environment, using the method of active listening and asking students to lay out evidence-based arguments. In light of the Diversity and Inclusion Action Plan, the Sheridan Center, along with the Office of the Dean of the College, also ran workshops about how to tackle sensitive topics in the classroom, such as race and gender.
Graduate students also receive instruction on teaching practices. They are allowed to serve as teaching assistants beginning their second year and only after attending a summer workshop or course about effective teaching, McLaughlin added.
Kenneth Wong, chair of the education department, emphasized that good discussions connect with the course's assigned readings and learning goals. "We want class discussions to be grounded in the knowledge that we cover in a particular session," he added. To stimulate discussion, Wong usually "pose(s) a couple of critical questions for the class to think through based on the readings."
When discussing hot topics, such as charter schools in an education policy class, Wong added that professors "have a particularly instrumental role to play, (which is to make) sure that all the voices are heard and articulated."
Controversial topics can make some students hesitant to share their opinions. "There's some fear of being politically incorrect … or not saying the right thing, but that can be broken down," said Anthony Levitas, director of the undergraduate public policy program. "It's critically important that we don't shy away from arguments and ideas we don't agree with."
Clubs provide additional opportunities for discourse outside of the classroom. The Alexander Hamilton Society hosts U.S. foreign policy debates between professors and outside experts, such as military personnel.
"We try to focus on issues that are highly complex and not easy to answer with a yes or no question, topics that are nuanced, thought-provoking and (ones that) not everyone spends their time thinking about," said Jake Goodman '19, president of the Brown chapter. He added that classroom lectures are often one-sided because they are presented from the perspective of the professor.
Not every student agrees that University faculty members give enough space for opposing viewpoints. Charis Edwards '21 noticed that teaching assistants and professors often hesitate to present ideas with which they disagree.
"Because (they) don't want to encourage (their) listeners to investigate a perspective (they) think is problematic or incorrect, it promotes ignorance to ignore the existence of other opinions, especially when (professors are) charged with giving an educational overview," Edwards said.
"In my public health class, we often discuss policy interventions that would probably have wonderful effects on the improvement of public health, but we rarely discuss the fact (that) those same interventions could be viewed as drastic government overreach," Edwards wrote in a follow-up email to The Herald, adding that this ignores "a very real perspective."
"We ought to learn how to listen to one another … (and) how to build our knowledge base so that we can continue to mature professionally as well as academically," Wong said.

Experience with location Bar Harbor, ME was positive.
Experience with employer OPL was positive.
The employer has to be professional and maximum correct.
This review represents personal opinion of Bosko Stojanovic who was participating Work & Travel program in year of 2016 with agency Work & Travel Group, working at OPL in Bar Harbor, ME.


TORONTO, Oct. 23, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Osisko Mining Inc. (OSK:TSX. "Osisko" or the "Corporation") is pleased to provide new infill drilling results from the ongoing drill definition and expansion program at its 100% owned Windfall Lake gold project located in the Abitibi greenstone belt, Urban Township, Eeyou Istchee James Bay, Québec. The 800,000 metre drill program commenced in late 2015. The program is currently focussed on infill drilling within the main Windfall gold deposit and the adjacent Lynx deposit (located immediately NE of Windfall), exploration and expansion drilling on the main mineralized zones, and deep exploration in the central areas of the intrusive system. Significant new analytical results from 37 intercepts in 17 drill holes and 6 wedges focused on infill drilling are presented below.
Highlights from the new results include: 1026 g/t Au over 2.7 metres in OSK-W-18-1725; 48.7 g/t Au over 3.3 metres in OSK-W-18-1560-W2; 59.3 g/t Au over 2.0 metres in OSK-W-18-1503-W1; 39.3 g/t Au over 2.3 metres in OSK-W-18-1665; 33.3 g/t Au over 2.7 metres in OSK-W-18-1711-W2 and 9.01 g/t Au over 9.2 metres in OSK-W-18-1402-W3. Maps showing hole locations and full analytical results are available at www.osiskomining.com.

Epson quietly released a new version of their popular scanning software "Epson Scan" that comes bundled with their document and flatbed photo scanners. But, there's already been confusion as to which scanners and operating systems it supports. Could it be possible that "Epson Scan 2" won't even run in the latest versions of Microsoft Windows?
Epson Scan 2 is an incredibly welcoming upgrade to those of us who have been using their original Epson Scan software all these years with what seems like no significant updates along the way. While other popular applications we all use routinely have received incremental upgrades through the years, as design aesthetics and technologies have changed, Epson has held the original Epson Scan back by ensuring the software looked and worked the same way for over a decade.
But, I have to say, since the time I discovered the new update in late 2019, I'm been quite impressed overall with what Epson has achieved with the almost complete overhaul. In my opinion, even though noticeable features weren't added in this upgrade, Epson Scan 2 is still quite an improvement over the original Epson Scan scanning software.
As you can see in the comparison screenshot below, Epson Scan 2 is cleaner looking, more compact, and with often-used settings and buttons reorganized so they are more logically located and easier to find. This translates to a scanning experience that's less confusing and therefore a lot more fun.
Side-by-side comparison of the original Epson Scan scanning software (left) and the newer Epson Scan 2 version (right) — shown on macOS
For me, if you're about to scan a bunch of your family photos, the question isn't whether or not you should update your installation of Epson Scan to the new version — because you most definitely should.
The real question to ask is do you even have the option to install it on your computer?
Epson Scan 2 Compatibility
Surprisingly, this latest version of Epson Scan isn't compatible with as many scanners or operating systems as you would like to believe.
Epson Scan 2's application icon
I started using Epson Scan 2 in the fall of 2019 on my Mac desktop computer connected to Epson's "Perfection" line of flatbed photo scanners. As time passed, and I began to realize there was very little information published about the new version — even on Epson's website.
I started to wonder how many other people were even using this new version. Maybe there were a lot of Epson flatbed scanner owners who haven't even heard about this major upgrade yet.
As I dug deeper into the compatibility of Epson Scan 2 with the most popular and latest models of their Perfection scanners, I was actually quite shocked to learn that there appeared to be a huge missing segment of users that — at least currently — aren't even capable of installing Epson Scan 2.
It was seeming to me as if Epson hasn't made it possible for their Perfection line of flatbed scanners to work for anyone with a computer running Windows — even if they had the latest update from Microsoft.
This just couldn't be. Could it?
So I immediately reached out to the customer support team at Epson America, Inc and spoke to someone specifically about their release of Epson Scan 2 and who it was intended for.
Epson Scan 2 With Windows 10
When asking specifically about Epson Scan 2 running on Windows, Epson's support responded with the following details:
Epson Scan 2 for Windows was developed for retail/business document scanners; see exceptions below.
Scanner Models that use Epson Scan 2 in Windows:
DS-1630
DS-30000 / DS-32000
DS-320 / WF ES-200 / WF ES-300W / WF ES-300WR
DS-410
DS-530 /WF ES-400 /WF ES-500W /WF ES-500WR
DS-575W /DS-770 /DS-780N
DS-70/DS-80W/ES-50/ES-60W//ES-55R/ES-65WR
DS-870 /970 /ES-865
WORKFORCE DS-50000/DS-60000/DS-70000
WORKFORCE DS-6500/7500
WORKFORCE DS-860
(WF = WorkForce)
FastFoto FF-640
(The FF series are photo scanners designed for fast photo batch scanning. They use Epson Scan 2.)
Epson (America) Support
After reading the information they sent to me over several times, my takeaway was that Epson never looked at the development of "Epson Scan 2" as a piece of software that was badly needed to be a replacement to their aging scanner software across their entire line of scanners and on both operating systems.
Because of this, on Windows computers, I believe they were strategically choosing to update the scanning software on only a couple of subsets of their scanner models. Therefore, it's hard for me not to believe their main focus was just to improve the user experience for their business users who primarily use their Epson scanners to scan office documents. Which, to be fair, is likely a much larger division that brings in a lot more revenue.
Update: See below for the latest information on Epson Scan 2 with Windows
Epson Scan 2 With Mac
Because I have already been using Epson Scan 2 on my Mac for some time now, I obviously already knew that Epson Scan 2 was compatible with their Perfection line of flatbed photo scanners. And because I'm pretty versed with the intricacies of every macOS update before it comes out (I'm a nerd like that!), I was quite confident I already knew why Epson Scan 2 was chosen to run with more Mac scanners than on Windows. But still, I was certainly very curious to find out how willing Epson's support was going to be to truthfully explain and hopefully even defend this unusual discrepancy.
Here's what Epson had to say about why Epson Scan 2 works with macOS:
Apple's macOS 10.15 "Catalina" operating system requires 64-bit drivers. [The original] Epson Scan is 32-bit. So, on select models, we updated the driver to Epson Scan 2, which is 64-bit.
If this overly "techie" explanation went completely over your head and crashed in the next room, let me break it down for you in "normal person" talk.
When Apple released their latest version of their Mac operating system for desktop computers in the fall of 2019 — called version 10.15 "Catalina" — they stated that applications would run faster and better and it therefore would be a win-win for all of us. But, for this to happen, all current applications running on our Macs had to be re-written in a new way by the companies that develop them with programming code so that they will work in this new "faster" and "better" operating system. The old "slower" code is technically referred to as "32-bit" and the new and improved code is called "64-bit."
So, what I assumed to be true — and what I believe Epson's support "admitted" in their single sentence to me — was that the only reason Epson made it possible for Mac users to use Epson Scan 2 with their Epson Perfection flatbed scanners is that they literally had to. Their hands were basically tied.
See, if Epson didn't make Epson Scan 2 work on Macs, every single Mac user who upgraded their operating system from an older version to macOS 10.15 "Catalina", or anyone who bought a brand new Mac which already had "Catalina" pre-installed on it, would find out their Epson scanner would no longer work with Epson's own scanning software — the original Epson Scan.
Can you imagine what kind of a public relations nightmare that would have been for Epson!?
So, it seems like Epson had two choices. Either upgrade the old programming code in the original Epson Scan scanning software so that it would work for "Catalina" users or make changes to their more recent scanning software ("Epson Scan 2") written for their FastFoto "sheet-fed" scanners and retail/business document scanners so that it would also work for macOS "Catalina" users with their flatbed scanners.
We certainly know which choice they ended up choosing. And in this particular case, we have the "higher-ups" at Apple to thank for always pushing the limits of what Apple devices can do and what they require to make these advances possible.
Cool "Mojave" Tip:
I think it's also important to mention here that even though the original 32-bit version of Epson Scan doesn't run on macOS 10.15 "Catalina", the new Epson Scan 2 version, however, will run in the earlier macOS 10.14 "Mojave" for some of the Epson models. So, if for one of many reasons your Mac is still running a version of "Mojave," it's possible you technically can have both the original Epson Scan and Epson Scan 2 installed at the same time, and they will both run. However, if you're wondering, no, you can't have them both running at the same time.
Which Epson Photo Scanners Are Currently Supported
I've compiled a nice organized chart for you that will show you which of the latest popular models of the Epson photo scanners are currently compatible with the Epson Scan 2 scanning software.
Epson Scan 2 Supported "Photo" Scanners
Which of Epson's latest and still popular photo scanner models work with their newest scanning software "Epson Scan 2" on current versions of Windows and macOS
10 (32/64-bit)
10.15.x +
Epson Perfection V370 Photo
Epson Perfection V750 Pro
Epson FastFoto FF-640W
Will "Epson Scan 2" Ever Work With Epson Perfection Scanners in Windows 10?
For many, it will certainly be disheartening to learn that this new and improved version of Epson Scan currently won't work with your Perfection scanner model in Microsoft Windows.
Nope, not even with their top-of-the-line V800 series flatbed models! It's almost hard to believe.
Update 04/2020:
Epson support specifically stated in their correspondence with me:
For now, all photo scanners for Windows will continue to use [the original] Epson Scan, except for the FastFoto series.
Epson Support
The keywords really worth highlighting here are "for now." The eternal optimist in me believes that someday, the Perfection line of Epson scanners will also support Epson Scan 2 in Microsoft Windows.
There was a glimmer of hope for Windows users in July when a Scan Your Entire Life member posted in the Community forum that the official Epson support site in Australia (where he lives) had posted Windows 10 download links for Epson Scan 2 with support for their current line of Epson Perfection scanners.
I checked it out and he was right! The Australia Epson support site was in fact allowing you to download a version of Epson Scan 2 that worked with Windows.
Additionally, two weeks later, I received an email from someone living in the UK and they stated their Epson support website allowed them to download a version of Epson Scan 2 for their Windows 7 system.
With these two confirmed sightings, I started to believe Windows support was finally being released in different countries (internationally) and maybe will eventually end up in the United States at some point soon.
However, the good news soon ended when the first member updated his forum post to report he was having "colour output issues with his scans" on his newly downloaded Windows version of Epson Scan 2. And not long after, he heard back directly from Epson support in Australia that for the record, Epson Scan 2 is officially not supported on Windows — which likely explains why he was having some color issues.
Epson's response was:
Please use Epson Scan for Windows (i.e. not Epson Scan 2). This is the correct driver that should be used for your scanner and our website has now been updated as it was previously showing both.
For Mac Operating System
For Mac version, Epson Scan 2 is the only driver that can work with macOS Catalina or later OS. This is already on our website and as advised by our software engineers is the correct driver that should used.
Epson Australia (Support)
Epson has since updated their support pages that were incorrectly showing the Windows download links.
My Latest Thoughts
As disappointed as I am that what happened in July all turned out to be a mistake and not the beginnings of an official Windows Epson Scan 2 launch, I'm still not convinced this response and action from Epson implies Epson Scan 2 will never be released for Windows.
Before this temporary availability of a Windows 10 driver download for Windows 10, my original thought Epson's reasoning for not releasing a Windows version was purely financial. Likely they were performing a "triage system" of services where they are choosing to only spend the money to re-write their applications and drivers for the scanner models and operating systems that require the updates first.
Maybe the Windows version is now very close to being released and they are just finishing up some final testing before they officially release it. And maybe to all countries at the same time. We'll see.
But, I certainly understand this defense (or at least an explanation) is likely going to be of little comfort in the short term for all the Microsoft Windows users out there — especially those who own one of their top-of-the-line V800 series flatbed scanners — who are left feeling unappreciated because they aren't able to run the "latest and greatest" version of Epson's own scanning software.
Scanning All of Our Family Photos … What's the Actual Point?
Last updated Sep 22, 2018 | Scanning Photos
For anyone with children, or with other family members such as nieces or nephews, the answer to whether or not we should scan our old family prints, slides and negatives may seem quite obvious.
But, when I received this email from Jennie, asking me why she should go through all the trouble of taking on such a big scanning and organizing project when she doesn't have younger family to pass it on to, I was struck with the thought that many of you might be asking yourselves the same question. Maybe even for some of you who actually do have family to pass your scanned collections on to!
If you don't have or know anyone that will truly cherish your scanned photo collection once you've passed, is there even a single reason to scan any of your old family photos?


Circulating levels of IGF-I and IGF-binding protein-1 throughout pregnancy: relation to birthweight and maternal weight.
Serum levels of IGF-I and IGF-binding protein (IGFBP-1) have been determined in the maternal circulation between 11 and 42 weeks of gestation in women not in labour (n = 335) and in the maternal and fetal circulations at the time of delivery between 37 and 42 weeks (n = 55). Maternal serum (MS) IGF-I levels increased during pregnancy and showed a significant positive correlation with maternal weight (P = 0.0033) but no correlation with birthweight. The MS IGFBP-1 levels did not change during the second and third trimesters and showed a negative correlation with birthweight, maternal weight, placental weight and MS glucose (P = 0.0002, P < 0.0001, P = 0.047, P = 0.024 respectively). MS IGFBP-1 levels were higher in small-for-gestational age babies than in average-for-gestational weight babies (P = 0.026) and lower in the large-for-gestational weight group (P = 0.048). There was a significant rise in mean MS IGFBP-1 levels during labour (P = 0.0005). These findings suggest that IGFBP-1 may be an important factor in pathological growth retardation.


Republican Rep. Pete Sessions, for instance, is in a tough race with Democrat Colin Allred for the Dallas-area 32nd District, which Hillary Clinton carried in 2016 with 48.5 percent of the vote. Inside Elections with Nathan L. Gonzales rates the contest a Toss-up.
In Houston and its suburbs, GOP Rep. John Culberson finds himself in a Tilts Republican race against Democrat Lizzie Pannill Fletcher in the 7th District. Clinton won it with — sound familiar? — 48.5 percent.
Not to feel left out among Texas' big cities, the San Antonio area 23rd District is hosting a marquee competitive race as well. GOP Rep. Will Hurd faces Democrat Gina Ortiz Jones in a Leans Republican contest. Clinton won the district with 50 percent.
Notice a trend? These seats are all represented by Republican incumbents in seats won by Clinton, albeit narrowly. Democrats started feeling better about things in Texas when they saw Trump win it by only 11 points, hardly the result of a ruby-red state. Giving the whole picture a nice complicated vibe is the fact that there are seven open House seats, although none of them, at least we think, are high on the list of possible party flips. Still, that's a lot of new faces for a House delegation of 36.
Now Democrats are hoping that, even if O'Rourke falls short against Cruz, his high-profile campaign will drive turnout enough to topple a few Republicans along the way.
They are not likely to get much help from the governor's race, where Republican incumbent Greg Abbott is comfortably ahead of Democratic challenger, Lupe Valdez.
Trump himself will trot down to Houston to rally for Cruz at NRG Arena, a venue that is not a particularly Texas-sized one, and will be counted on to fire up the base. Who knows if that will help or hurt Culberson.
Win, lose or draw, Texas will continue to loom large. Shoot, people are already talking about an O'Rourke presidential run, which could get crowded if fellow Texan Julian Castro (he being the former HUD secretary and current twin brother of Rep. Joaquin Castro) throws his hat into the ring, too.
On this week's Political Theater podcast, Leah Askarinam from Inside Elections and McClatchy's Alex Roarty, who grew up in Houston, discuss the Texas Senate race, whether famous Texans will help O'Rourke, and what sort of downstream effect the contest will have on competitive House races.

A career path in beauty was in the cards for Crowner for a long time. "I've been a beauty professional for over 13 years. It started at my alma mater Hampton University where I did the make up for all the fashion shows, cabarets and events that we had. That's segued into a beautiful career," she explains. It's also important to note that beauty is a multifaceted skillset. "There are several different facets of the beauty industry that can be entered under this career path including aesthetics, massage therapy and cosmetology. You can also go into the medical side of Aesthetics," she explains.
