JOHNSTON, Iowa — The first woman promoted to the rank of command sergeant major in the Iowa Army National Guard was among those killed when a Black Hawk helicopter crashed in Iraq, guard officials said Jan. 24.
Command Sgt. Maj. Marilyn L. Gabbard, 46, of Polk City, was a passenger on the UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter when it crashed Jan. 20 northeast of Baghdad, officials said. She was the first woman in the history of the Iowa National Guard to be killed in combat, Iowa National Guard spokesman Lt. Col. Greg Hapgood said.
Military officials said Gabbard's helicopter might have been shot down, but the investigation was continuing. Twelve National Guard soldiers from seven states and the U.S. Virgin Islands died in the crash.
Gabbard was 19th Iowa National Guard member and the 50th service member with Iowa ties to be killed in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Gabbard was born in 1960 in Boone and graduated from Boone High School in 1979. She served in the National Guard for 27 years, starting in 1979, ascending to the rank of sergeant major. In her most recent post, Gabbard served as state operations sergeant major at the Iowa National Guard's Joint Forces Headquarters in Johnston.
Gabbard's long tenure with the Iowa National Guard made the pain from her loss acute, Hapgood said.
"She touched so many people in so many different areas of our organization," he said.
As the first woman promoted to her rank, Gabbard was in a position to serve as a role model to other woman soldiers in particular, Hapgood said, but Gabbard never saw herself as a trail blazer, just a soldier and a leader.
Gabbard deployed from Iowa on Dec. 16. She served as the noncommissioned officer in charge of the National Guard Affairs Team in Baghdad. It was her first deployment to the region, Hapgood said.
A phone message left with Edward Gabbard was not immediately returned.
JOHNSTON, Iowa — Funeral services have been scheduled for an Iowa National Guard member killed in Iraq last week.
Command Sgt. Maj. Marilyn Gabbard, 46, of Polk City was a passenger on the UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter that crashed Saturday northeast of Baghdad, killing 12 troops.
Visitation services will be held from 3-8 p.m. Monday at Central Christian Church in Boone. Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. Tuesday at the Boone High School gymnasium. She will be buried in Madrid with full military honors.
Gabbard was born in 1960 in Boone and graduated from Boone High School in 1979. She served in the National Guard for 27 years.
Gabbard was the first woman in the Iowa National Guard's history to be killed in combat, said Iowa National Guard spokesman Lt. Col. Greg Hapgood.
The Army has said the cause of the crash is under investigation. But a Pentagon official has said debris at the crash site indicated the helicopter was downed by a surface-to-air missile.
DES MOINES, Iowa — Gov. Chet Culver ordered that all flags in Iowa be flown at half staff from 8 a.m. until sunset Jan. 30 to honor Command Sgt. Maj. Marilyn L. Gabbard, who died in Iraq on Jan. 20.
The directive — Culver's first executive order as governor — honored Gabbard, 46, of Polk City, who was the first woman in the history of the Iowa National Guard to die in combat. Gabbard also achieved the highest rank for a woman in the Iowa National Guard's history.
The order will also apply to future casualties that involve either the Iowa National Guard or Iowans serving in other branches of the armed forces. Under Culver's order, if a soldier is killed while on duty, all state flags will be hung at half staff.
Gabbard was killed, along with 12 other troops, when the Black Hawk helicopter she was flying in crashed northeast of Baghdad. Officials are investigating whether the helicopter was shot down.
Visitation services were held Jan. 29 at Central Christian Church in Boone.
Funeral services were held Jan. 30 at the Boone High School gymnasium. She was buried in Madrid with full military honors.

Anyone with a love for the sea and its history must visit Port Victoria, the last of the windjammer ports. For over 70 years, grain was loaded onto magnificent sailing ships bound for Europe via Cape Horn. The Pamir and Passat were the last two ships to leave in 1949 on the last commercial voyage worldwide. The last grand era of sail is evoked in the local museum which has a large collection of photographs and artefacts.
Today, the town is a paradise for fishers and divers alike, with eight shipwrecks around Wardang Island forming the Wardang Island Maritime Heritage Trail. Commercial fishing is an important industry, with recreational fishing from jetties, beaches and boats being a huge attraction to the area. If you want to try some local seafood but aren't into catching your own, Port Victoria is home to Gill Fisheries who specialise in wild caught local seafood.
Port Victoria also has a pre-history, as well as a maritime history with the Geology Trail following its volcanic beginnings. The trail meanders along the coast from the jetty to Rifle Butts Beach. Interpretive brochures are available from the kiosk near the jetty.
Port Victoria Jetty, popular with anglers and divers.

In 1802, Captain Matthew Flinders mistook Wardang Island for part of the mainland and named the area Point Pearce. It wasn't until 1839, when the area was surveyed by Robert Cook and James Hughes in a schooner called Victoria, that they realised there was a separated island. They named the bay 'Victoria Harbour' in 1839, after their boat.
Port Victoria is an Urban Location area within the local government area of Yorke Peninsula in South Australia, it is located approximately 113kms from the capital Adelaide and extends over an area of 56.097 square kilometres. Port Victoria has a recorded population of 352 residents and is within the Australian Central Daylight Time zone Australia/Adelaide.
If you are planning a visit to Port Victoria we've put together some of the things you can see or do while you are here. These include, places to stay, tours and attractions, some upcoming events and places where you can grab a meal. Go ahead, try one of the buttons above. Every destination has something worth seeing so start exploring… If you know Port Victoria and think we've missed something, let us know and we'll share it here.

Q: QMake build static library using dlls I have a Qt project which is a library.
Currently it works great but it is a dll and I want it to be a static library.
To do so I added "CONFIG += static" in my .pro file (I also tried "CONFIG += staticlib"). After doing so my library compiles well but it needs to be statically linked to libraries which were DLLs before.
Is there a way to compile a static library using dlls with QMake ? ?

Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull on Tuesday the 13th of March announced the massive Land 400 armoured vehicle deal with Rheinmetall Defence Australia.
Rheinmetall will set up at military vehicle centre of excellence (MILVEHCOE) at Redbank to build 211 combat reconnaissance vehicles, known as the Boxer CRV, for the Australian Army.
Mayor Andrew Antoniolli said the $5 billion Defence contract was significant boost for Ipswich as it would create more than 330 permanent jobs from the outset, significant opportunities for locals businesses and associated work with ongoing delivery and maintenance of the vehicles.
"This is huge for Ipswich, make no mistake. This means jobs for the next 30 to 40 years, for the life of the contract," he said.
Economic Development and Digital City Committee chair Cr Paul Tully said the announcement from Mr Turnbull was another feather in the cap for Ipswich in terms of jobs creation in the city.
"We have well and truly turned the corner with so many positive signs that Ipswich is on the rise. We have a jobs boom, a building and investment boom, and growth right across the entire region," Cr Tully said.
Defence directly contributed to more than 7000 jobs and almost $800 million to the Ipswich economy in 2016-17.
Council's Office of Economic Development will continue to collaborate with Rheinmetall on ensuring supply chain opportunities for Ipswich businesses.


Graduate students in Systems pursue methodologies and modeling techniques in engineering, business, and the social sciences that are relevant for planning and executing multi-disciplinary solutions to solve a variety of societal design and operational issues in today's complex world.
M.Eng. On CampusM.Eng. Distance LearningSystems Ph.D.
The Systems Program at Cornell is unique because all of the faculty you interact with come from departments from across the university within the Colleges of Engineering, Arts and Sciences, Architecture and Business. Because of this model, Systems at Cornell is poised to offer a well-rounded robust educational experience and the opportunity to engage in exciting multi-disciplinary research.
Are you looking to take a leadership role within a research group or company division or as a professor? Cornell's Ph.D. in Systems Engineering provides in-depth knowledge and technical skills in the field of systems engineering and systems of systems, and prepares students for careers within industry and government. The applicable areas are endless because systems science and engineering are essential to tackle today's complex global challenges.
The Cornell M.Eng program in systems engineering is fantastic. The instructors are knowledgeable, professional, and dedicated to the success of each and every student regardless of circumstance. I can attest to this directly, as I spent the first 9 months of graduate school deployed in Baghdad, Iraq. During that time the professors were willing to meet with me outside of typical office hours and the technical staff created a separate drop box for all classroom videos to download in places of low internet bandwidth. This level of dedication and support continued throughout my entire time in the program. As a Director of Engineering, I use the skills I learned throughout the program in daily operation, and would strongly recommend the program to prospective systems and industrial engineers.

Soutěž v duetech (v americkém originále Duets) je čtvrtá epizoda druhé série amerického televizního seriálu Glee a v celkovém pořadí dvacátá šestá epizoda. Scénář k epizodě napsal Ian Brennan, jeden z tvůrců seriálu, režíroval ji Eric Stoltz a poprvé se objevila dne 12. října 2010 ve vysílání amerického televizního kanálu Fox. Epizoda obsahuje cover verze sedmi písní, včetně mashupu písní "Happy Days Are Here Again" a "Get Happy" od Barbry Streisand a Judy Garland.

V této epizodě se přistěhovalý student Sam Evans (Chord Overstreet) přidává ke školnímu sboru. Vedoucí sboru Will Schuester (Matthew Morrison) dá členům za úkol duet s jiným členem a nabízí cenu za nejlepší vystoupení. Studenti si mezi sebou vytvoří dvojice a začnou zkoušet, což testuje některé vztahy a některé naopak stmeluje. Sam měl být nejprve s Kurtem Hummelem (Chris Colfer), ale nakonec zpívá duet s Quinn Fabray (Dianna Agron).

Epizoda získala většinou pozitivní reakce od kritiků a mnoho z nich chválilo seriál za vývoj postav a výběr různorodých písní. Epizoda také obsahovala mazlící scénku Santany (Naya Rivera) a Brittany (Heather Morris), která se stala objektem zájmu mnoha kritiků a Christie Keith ze serveru AfterEllen.com epizodu označila jako "nejvíce homosexuální epizoda jakéhokoliv seriálu, který se kdy vysílal". Epizodu v den vysílání sledovalo 11.36 milionů amerických diváků. Sledovanost i rating stouply vhledem k předchozí epizodě Boží sendvič.

Děj epizody

Vedoucí sboru New Directions, Will Schuester oznamuje sboru úkol a soutěž v duetech. Cena pro vítěze je večeře v místní vyhlášené restauraci Breadstix. Řekne jim, že jeden z členů sboru, Puck (Mark Salling) byl poslán do nápravného zařízení pro mladé, protože se pokusil ukrást bankomat. Na jeho místo nastupuje školní nováček Sam Evans. Kurt předpokládá, že Sam je gay a požádá ho, aby byl jeho duetovým partnerem. Sam souhlasí. Hlavní zpěvák sboru Finn Hudson (Cory Monteith) se snaží v soukromí Sama přesvědčit, aby z duetového partnerství vycouval, protože se bojí, že Sam bude terčem posměchu, když spolužáci zjistí, že bude zpívat duet s jiným chlapcem. Sam ale trvá na tom, že dal Kurtovi své slovo a Kurt je stále nazlobený na Finna za některé jeho homofobní poznámky, které řekl, když byli spolubydlící. Poté, co Kurtův otec Burt (Mike O'Malley) poukáže na to, že tak jako byl Kurt zamilovaný do Finna minulý rok, může být i tento rok zamilovaný do Finna, tak Kurt vylučuje Sama z jejich duetového partnerství a rozhodne se pro soutěž zpívat duet sám se sebou v písni "Le Jazz Hot!" z Victor Victoria.

Roztleskávačky Santana a Brittany se mazlí, když najednou Brittany navrhne, že by měli společně zpívat "Come to My Window" od Melissy Etheridge. Santana to odmítá a zjednodušuje jejich vztah. Santana věří, že největší šanci vyhrát bude mít s Mercedes (Amber Riley) a společně zpívají "River Deep – Mountain High". Brittany se dala do páru s Artiem (Kevin McHale) a začnou spolu i chodit. Artie s Brittany ztrácí i své panictví, ale před soutěží mu Santana řekne, že Brittany pouze potřebovala jeho hlas, aby mohla vyhrát soutěž. Je velmi rozzlobený, že jeho první sexuální zážitek byl příčinou takové hlouposti, tak se s Brittany rozchází a ruší i jejich duetové partnerství. Tina (Jenna Ushkowitz) a její přítel Mike (Harry Shum mladší) se hádají ohledně písně, kterou chtějí předvést. Mike nakonec souhlasí se "Sing!" z muzikálu A Chorus Line. Je to jeho první sólové vystoupení před sborem a jejich duet si vyslouží pochvalu od Willa.

Finn a jeho přítelkyně Rachel (Lea Michele) zpočátku nacvičují píseň "Don't Go Breaking My Heart", ale Rachel navrhuje, že by měli nechat vyhrát Sama, což by ho přimělo zůstat ve sboru. Když je Sam zasažen od školních tyranů ledovou tříští do obličeje, Quinn mu pomáhá zotavit se. Následně se stanou duetovými partnery a na zkoušce se ji Sam pokusí políbit. Quinn je rozčarovaná a řekne mu, že spolu nemohou zpívat, ale později se za Sama přimluví Rachel a Quinn Samovi odpustí. Rachel a Finn, oblečeni jako školačka a kněz, aby zničili své šance na vítězství, zpívají "With You I'm Born Again" od Billyho Prestona a Syreety Wright. Sam a Quinn zpívají "Lucky" od Jasona Mraze a Colbie Caillat. V závěrečném hlasování pro členové sboru hlasují sami pro sebe, kromě Finna a Rachel, kteří hlasují pro vítěze, Sama a Quinn. Během vítězné večeře v Breadstix si mezi sebou vytvoří silnější pouto a Quinn řekne Samovi, že tuto večeři může považovat za jejich první rande.

Rachel si všimne, jak je Kurt osamělý a řekne mu, jak moc si ho členové sboru váží a požádá ho o duet s ní, jen pro zábavu, když už soutěž skončila. Epizoda končí, když pro sbor zpívají mashup písní "Happy Days Are Here Again" a "Get Happy" od Judy Garland a Barbry Streisand.

We're in the second week of the Riverrun International Film Festival. This week we went to a few parties with stars, dinners with producers and saw some amazing films. We saw a document about Ruth Bader Ginsburg, a document about the Power Glove, a series of weird short films, and a hilarious story about blue records. I'll be out of town this last weekend so the film festival is done for me, but still going on through Sunday!
This week was the last full week of Camp NaNoWriMo. I'm about 3,000 words behind and a weekend full of activities and travel. So I'm really hoping I'm going to be able to catch up and meet my goal of 30,000 words by the end of the month.
I've had the same refurbished Galaxy phone for about three years, so this week, for the very first time, I upgraded to a brand new phone. I now have a Google Pixel 2 and I love it. Great battery life, beautiful camera and unbeatable features. A+!!!
I've been following this show since it started in 2011. Recently the last full season aired on Netflix and the real last season aired on TV last week. I can't believe its coming to an end but I can't wait to see the ending!

Q: Modify JSON data in Python 3 I am trying to amend the value of a node in my JSON, however, I keep getting "SyntaxError: invalid Syntax"
Every question I've looked at gives the same answer: 1, 2, 3. As do online article (example). Use (in psuedo terms) {jsonvariable}.["{Node Name}"] = {new value} however, this doesn't work, no matter what I try, the Python file refuses to run.
This makes me assume it's my implementation, but perhaps it bceause these answers are based on Python 2 and I'm (currently) using 3.7.5.
The JSON value I'm trying to update is a second level value, which might make a difference, however, Googling/Searching appears to never bring me to a example with that, and I know that clock.[id+".Status"] = "Finished doesn't work.
The JSON snippet looks like this:
{
    "0c2ad7d1-0fc9-47d5-99a2-2e7c8cff2a3d": {
        "Status": "Finished",
        "Status Time": "2020-05-17 16:48:12.584676",
        "Channel ID": 704635364039589941,
        "Active Player": 1,
        "Message ID": "",
        "Player1": {
            "Name": "Larnu",
            "ID": 357506009675333632,
            "Remaining": "01:00"
        },
        "Player2": {
            "Name": "Dolphin Bot",
            "ID": 357506009675333632,
            "Remaining": "01:00"
        }
    },
    "a370d674-6f1a-41be-86d2-9f8c73ab8ab0": {
        "Status": "Not Started",
        "Status Time": "2020-05-17 16:48:12.584676",
        "Channel ID": 704635364039589941,
        "Active Player": "1",
        "Message ID": "711605974779166730",
        "Player1": {
            "Name": "Larnu",
            "ID": 357506009675333632,
            "Remaining": "01:00:00"
        },
        "Player2": {
            "Name": "Dolphin Alpha",
            "ID": 704635572580253818,
            "Remaining": "01:00:00"
        }
    }
}

And the value I'm trying to change is Status in the a370d674-6f1a-41be-86d2-9f8c73ab8ab0 truee. The relevant part that's erroring is:
                with open("clocks.json","r+") as clocks_file:
                    clocks = json.load(clocks_file)
                    clock = clocks[clockid]
                    clock.['Status'] = "Finished"

clockid would have been set previously (if the Python file ran) with the value a370d674-6f1a-41be-86d2-9f8c73ab8ab0.

A: If I understand correctly, I think you'll want to get rid of the . before the [. In other words:
clock['Status'] = 'Finished'

or, without assignment:
clocks[clockid]['Status'] = 'Finished'

A: You shouldn't use . before []. Try:
clock['Status'] = "Finished"


Those radiant colors that inspire poetry and art are, I recently discovered (or perhaps rediscovered as I feel sure I probably learned this at one time during my elementary school career), actually the true colors of the leaves.
The green that we see for most of the year, the green that fills up our springtime and summer, is just the tree-feeding chlorophyll covering up the brightness. It is not until the tree is no longer making food, not until the leaves are beginning to die, that their true colors blaze out.
God promised to give Abram the land.
God promised Moses the same.
He brought Moses right up to the edge and promised the land to Israel.
and asked Joshua to fight.
and He also asked Israel to fight the battles for the land.
and Israel fought for the land.
And yet God gave it to them.
As Israel fought, God caused the enemy to flee.
As Israel wielded their swords, God sent hailstones that killed more than the swords.
As Israel ran and sweat and grew bloody and bruised, God made the sun stand still.
and Israel had to fight.
It is a tension within which we, too, are required to live.
and He has asked us to work.
and He has given us disciplines to practice.
We live in this tension.
As we sit in silence and solitude, God transforms our hearts.
As we meditate on God's Words, God changes us into the hands and feet of the Word.
As we whisper faltering prayers, God grows fruit and works miracles.
and we are asked to fight.
It is beautiful, this tension in which we live.
Yet God's creative work did not stop there.
He did not create the universe, set it into motion, then step back and let things take their course.
For by Him all things were created…and in Him all things hold together.
All creation was brought forth out of Himself and all creation is sustained by Him.
His presence is here, all around us, intimately close to us and yet also other than us. Other than creation.
He is still creating, still sustaining. He is constantly "bringing forth".
This is not pantheism. God is not His creation.
Sustaining does not equal being.
Sustaining also does not equal controlling.
We still make our choices, live our lives, do what we were created to do.
Yet on a deeper level, God is sustaining us while we do what we were created to do.
We work on different levels. God has His work and has given us work to do. He has given all of creation work to do.
Perhaps we are the only ones who can refuse that work.
For God is other than His creation.
Too often we make Him the same, just bigger.
He is not the same, and we do well to remember it.
He has given us work to do, and while we are to obey and do that work He has given us to do, we are deceived if we believe we do that work on our own.
For while we work, doing what we were created to do, God is also at work, sustaining all things , holding all things together within Himself.
May that truth give you rest, for you are never outside of the sustenance of God.
You are never outside of God Himself.

In May 2015, ICORD was invited to the launch of Rare Disease International (RDI) in Madrid, Spain. The overall aim of RDI is to unite patients' voices around the globe, in order to have a greater impact and to improve the situation for patients with rare diseases and their families. At present RDI is an informal network, initiated by EURORDIS, but it may become a legal entity in the future. It is currently governed by EURORDIS and national rare disease alliances from USA (NORD), Canada (CORD), Japan (JPA), China (CORD), India (I-ORD), the Ibero-American pan-regional alliance (ALIBER) and the International Federation for Epidermolysis Bullosa (DEBRA International). ICORD welcomes the establishment of RDI and looks forward to a fruitful collaboration with RDI. Please find the presentation of ICORD President-Elect, Manuel Posada, on behalf of ICORD, here.


Winsor & Newton has a long history of collaboration between science and art. The company was founded in 1832 by William Winsor, a scientist, and Henry Newton, an artist, who recognized the need for pigment makers to work in the service of the fine art sector. Winsor & Newton boasts a deep connection to art history, including its patenting of a collapsible metal paint tube with a screw cap that enabled the en plein air painting style of Impressionists like Monet. It also designed the Series 7 kolinsky sable brushes (made by order of Queen Victoria) that would create the standard for watercolor brushes, and consulted on products with some of the biggest names in painting of their time, including J.M.W. Turner and John Constable. Where previously Winsor and Newton were just a couple among a handful of colormen in London, their close connection to the needs of artists allowed them to break away from competition, making them a legacy company that has changed hands several times over nearly 200 years in the color business.
The company is presently a piece of an international conglomerate, ColArt, which represents eight different art-related brands that distribute in 120 countries. Over the years, Winsor & Newton experienced a bit of mission drift, emphasizing standard manufacturing practices above the intersection of artists and scientists. But an initiative created by the ColArt board some five years ago founded the Griffin Gallery and Residency Program, and brought in curator Rebecca Pelly-Fry to develop and direct the gallery, international education program, and unique residency (coordinated by Matthew Gibson), essentially from scratch.

The Voting News Daily: Jury is out on states' voter ID laws, Americans Elect scraps virtual caucus for lack of early candidate support
The Voting News Daily
The Voting News Daily: Jury…
National: Jury is out on states' voter ID laws | The Post & Courier/Politico
Some see South Carolina's voter ID law and other states' efforts to tighten early voting as less of an attempt to curb voter fraud than some of the earliest volleys in the 2012 presidential race. At least that is how the laws were painted by Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-S.C.), as well as NAACP members and union leaders who spoke before more than 100 people at a Tuesday evening rally in Charleston, S.C. Clyburn said he has visited Florida four times in the past six weeks to work on anti-voter-suppression efforts with the Democratic National Congressional Committee. He noted that national GOP strategist Karl Rove has forecast that President Barack Obama could win South Carolina this fall, and Republicans are fighting to keep this state — and other swing states — in the GOP column. "They have put in these draconian rules and regulations and laws because they have calculated that if they can suppress the vote by 1 percent in nine different states, we lose the national election in November," Clyburn said. "That's their calculation." Most experts put the Palmetto State solidly in the Republican column. Read More
National: Americans Elect scraps virtual caucus for lack of early candidate support | The Post and Courier
A group clearing the path for an independent White House bid canceled the first phase of its search for a bipartisan ticket Tuesday because declared and draft candidates aren't mustering enough preliminary support. Americans Elect scrapped a virtual caucus that had been planned for next week. Another round of voting set for May 15 also is in jeopardy; a third is to be held on May 22. Candidates must meet a certain threshold of support to be eligible for the caucuses. Read More
National: Third-party candidate for POTUS: Anyone? Walker? | Politico.com
It's the dream that won't die: a plain-spoken, pure-hearted independent sweeps into the presidential race, talks straight with the American people and upends a broken process with a historic third-party campaign. Even at this late hour in the 2012 election, there's still hope in elite circles that a fresh face will enter the field. Columnists continue to plead publicly for billionaire New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg to run. Americans Elect, the group focused on obtaining ballot access for a so-far nameless independent candidate, begins to hold online caucuses this month to choose its nominee. The organization suffered a setback this week when it announced that it was stalling the start of its nominating process because no candidate had yet qualified for the competition. With no high-profile national politician apparently interested, nonpartisan idealists are turning toward David Walker, the former U.S. comptroller general and an advocate for broad fiscal reform. An austere technocrat, Walker has embraced the role of reluctant presidential contender and is the target of a draft movement seeking to place his name into nomination for the Americans Elect line.

Alaska: Voters File for Anchorage Election Recount | ktuu.com
A group of Anchorage voters has formally requested a recount of ballots associated with the city's troubled April 3 election. The group — consisting of 10 Anchorage voters, and headed by Anchorage attorney Hal Gazaway — is asking that all ballots cast in 15 different precincts be recounted by hand. The recount application, filed late Wednesday afternoon with the city clerk's office, says the results provided by the optical scan vote counting machines used on election night can't be trusted. The recount application cites reports of "at least one" malfunctioning vote counting machine. It also cites testimony from a poll worker that a security seal for a vote counting machine's memory card appeared to be "cut." The group asking for the recount also said it was concerned with Deputy Municipal Clerk Jacqueline Duke's instructions to poll workers that they "ignore and/or replace security seals protecting the memory cards that were 'broken in transport.'"

Alaska: Redistricting map solutions elusive as court battle looms | adn.com
One of the most important and complicated insider games in politics moves back to the Alaska Supreme Court this week with an appeal by the Alaska Redistricting Board of its method for redrawing the state's legislative map. In a petition filed Tuesday, the board is asking the high court to overturn a decision by a Fairbanks judge that the board failed to first rely on state law for drawing up "one-person, one vote" districts before adjusting them to prevent Alaska Native votes from being illegally diluted. Native voting rights are protected by the U.S. Justice Department under the federal Voting Rights Act. The Alaska Supreme Court has previously ruled that the Voting Rights Act should be applied only after state requirements are met. Read More
Florida: Palm Beach County upgrades troubled vote-counting computer system | Sun Sentinel
Palm Beach County commissioners on Tuesday agreed to upgrade vote-counting software, just over a month after a vote-counting mix-up in the Wellington city council election. The software improvements cost $117,450 in a deal with Dominion Voting Systems, Inc. Supervisor of Elections Susan Bucher had the deal in the works before the Election Night problems in Wellington. Bucher in March initially blamed software problems for her office naming the incorrect winners in two Wellington races. The software upgrades and other procedural changes are supposed to iron out any problems like those that occurred in Wellington and speed up Palm Beach County's traditionally slow vote counting.

New Mexico: Electronic Voter Registration Drive Tests Power Of Technology Against Voter ID Policies Huffington Post
As both the Republican and Democratic parties clamor to claim a larger share of the Latino electorate this year, electronic voter registration has emerged as a potential sweet spot, a space where political procedure may collide with culture and boost Latino voter participation. In New Mexico, that theory is in the early stages of a ground test. Jetta Reynolds has spent a good portion of the last five years working to register voters in the Albuquerque, N.M., area. She's heard the questions people raise about the process so often that before she deployed nearly 200 volunteers to do the same work at grocery stores and street fairs this year, she created her own Spanish and English-language voter registration brochure. But when Reynolds took Jason Libersky — one of the developers behind a new voter registration app called Evotee — and his iPad to a session for mostly Latino and Native American potential voters Monday, it was Reynolds who walked away surprised.

Blogs: Oklahoma Supreme Court Voids Special State House Election | Election Academy
On Monday, the Oklahoma Supreme Court unanimously voided the results of a special election for a state House seat in Tulsa. The court's order came after a series of problems cast doubt on the true outcome of the election. … The Court, after reviewing the "totality of the evidence presented," found it "impossible to determine with mathematical certainty which candidate is entitled to a certificate of election" and thus voided the election entirely. In the wake of the order – and due to the delays occasioned by the case – the state board of elections is going to keep the seat vacant until it can be filled at this November's general election.

Pennsylvania: Voter ID Law Would Keep 93-Year-Old Who Marched With Martin Luther King From Voting | TPM
If there's a contest for most sympathetic plaintiff in a lawsuit opposing a state voter ID law, Pennsylvania's Viviette Applewhite wins. The 93-year-old has voted in almost every election since 1960. Her daughter was a public servant. She has five grandchildren, nine great grandchildren, and four great-great grandchildren. She's a widow. She marched with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in Macon, Georgia during the civil rights movement and traveled to Atlanta to hear him preach. Under Pennsylvania's voter ID law, Applewhite wouldn't be able to vote. Applewhite is the lead plaintiff in a lawsuit filed Tuesday by the American Civil Liberties Union of Pennsylvania, the Advancement Project, the Public Interest Law Center of Philadelphia (PILCOP) and the law firm of Arnold & Porter LLP on behalf of ten Pennsylvania voters.

Vermont: Campaign finance bill dead for year | CBS News
The Vermont Senate has voted against taking any more action to pass a campaign finance reform law, meaning the issue is dead for this year. The Senate voted 19-9 on Tuesday afternoon to send a bill that would have set limits on donations to people running for state offices to the Judiciary Committee. Sen. Richard Sears, the Bennington Democrat who chairs the committee, says there isn't time to act on the measure before lawmakers adjourn this weekend. Read More
Virginia: Voter ID bill may be dead until next year | Examiner.com
When asked whether he would put his name next to the controversial voter ID legislation passed by the General Assembly that would require voters without identification to cast provisional ballots, Gov. McDonnell made no signs of committing one way or the other on Sunday. Legislators reasonably rejected the governor's proposed amendment earlier in April that would have required members of the electoral board to compare the signature in a voter's registration file with the signature on a provisional ballot to confirm the identity of the voter. This scheme would have undoubtedly led to a host of other problems in the voter confirmation process. Some have suggested that the entire point of the McDonnell amendment was to eliminate the bill.

Editorials: Mr. McDonnell faces a quandary with Virginia voter ID bill | The Washington Post
Faced with Voter ID legislation that would disenfranchise thousands of Virginians, Gov. Robert F. McDonnell is in a quandary. He can veto the bill and incur the wrath of fellow Republicans, or sign it and reinforce the GOP's image of hostility toward young, poor and black voters. Mr. McDonnell is all too aware that the bill, passed by Republican lawmakers despite his warning about legislative overreach, is gratuitous at best. That's why he sent it back to the General Assembly with amendments that would eliminate its most obnoxious feature: a requirement that ballots cast by voters who lack identification be thrown out unless the voters make a separate trek to local electoral offices to prove their identity. But the General Assembly restored that provision and sent the bill back to Mr. McDonnell, who now faces a decision: Does he want to be known as a partisan street brawler, or as a grown-up who governs with restraint?

Algeria: Tentative steps to the promised land | Africa Review
Algeria's closely-watched May 10th parliamentary election will help clarify the political currents popular enough to sufficiently move the north African country towards a new era in its agitated history. They are also perceived as a rehearsal for the country's presidential election where the stakes will be much greater. In Algeria, the President holds a far more prominent role than many other state institution. The elections have come at a time of great regional uncertainty and instability following the Arab Spring that swept away regimes in neighbouring Tunisia and in Egypt. In what is certainly an effort to safeguard the country from similar disorder, 75-year-old President Abdelaziz Bouteflika's announced democratic reforms and the holding of anticipated parliamentary elections as part of an overall transition process. These reforms were welcomed by the international community as a step in the right direction. Read More
Libya: Voters register to vote in landmark elections | chicagotribune.com
Libyans began registering on Tuesday to vote in June elections for a national assembly, as the country prepared for its first free polls following the removal of Muammar Gaddafi. One registration centre at a Tripoli school was closed after armed former rebel fighters turned up in pickup trucks mounted with anti-aircraft guns. About 1,500 registration centers have been set up across the country for the landmark polls, after which Libya will have a new constitution. People queued up outside, holding their national identity papers and centers for candidate registration also were opened. Read More
Malaysia: Analysts say rally fallout could delay Malaysia polls | Channel NewsAsia
Recent police clashes with election-reform protesters in Malaysia have dented premier Najib Razak's reform credentials and may force him to push back elections, analysts say. Najib was widely expected to set a June date for what is predicted to be a close battle between his ruling coalition and the opposition led by Anwar Ibrahim, but observers say Saturday's protest may have changed his thinking. Tens of thousands took to the streets of the capital Kuala Lumpur to demand clean elections, defying government curbs on the rally. Angry demonstrators broke through barricades and clashed with police, who fired tear gas and chemical-laced water on crowds and arrested 512 people. All have since been released. Analysts say the events may have tarnished Najib's efforts to win votes by pledging to loosen the long-ruling coalition's authoritarianism. Read More
United Kingdom: London mayoral election: Battle of the buses | CNN.com
To an outsider, Thursday's contest to elect the next mayor of London would appear to be a fight between two larger-than-life characters — known best by their first names — for control of the city's famous red buses. Among a wide field of candidates, only these two men have any realistic chance of taking a starring role at this summer's Olympic Games in London: Conservative Party incumbent Mayor Boris Johnson, 47, and his 66-year-old nemesis, Labour left-winger and former Mayor Ken Livingstone. Both men have devoted their energies to transport — and attacking each other viciously on the issue, as well as on their complex personal tax arrangements. With his distinctive nasal south London accent, Livingstone rose to fame in the early 1980s as leader of the Greater London Council. Livingstone — populist, socialist, environmentalist — was one of the few who stood up to Margaret Thatcher, the Conservative prime minister at the time, earning him the moniker "Red Ken." Read More

Two REITs That Are "Glad" to Make Monthly Payouts
MoneyShow December 5, 2019
These two real estate investment trusts — both associated with the Gladstone name — offer monthly dividends that provide investors a steady source of income, explains Ned Piplovic, editor of DividendInvestor.
Gladstone Land Corporation (LAND)
Dividend Yield: 4.5%
More from Ned Piplovic: 10 Dividend ETFs with Monthly Payouts
The Gladstone Land Corporation invests in farmland and farm-related properties that are located in major agricultural markets in the United States. The REIT then leases this land to unrelated third-party farmer-tenants.
This REIT has enhanced its annual dividend payout for the past five consecutive years. Over those five years, the annual dividend amount rose nearly 50%, which corresponds to an average growth rate of 8.1% per year.
LAND's share price declined during the three years after its establishment in 2013. However, the share price has since reversed its trend and has advanced more than 70% since the beginning of 2016.
Over the past twelve months, the share price has pulled back. This has offset some of the dividend income and reduced the 4.5% dividend yield to a total return of 2%.
However, the total gains over the past five years have exceeded 28%. Concurrently, a significant share price decline in late 2015 has pushed the three-year total return to more than 35%.
Gladstone Commercial Corporation (GOOD)
Dividend Yield: 6.34%
See also: Peloton: On the Right Track?
The Gladstone Commercial Corporation pays monthly cash distributions to its stockholders and invests in net leased industrial, commercial and retail real property. It also selectively makes long-term industrial and commercial mortgage loans.
The company's current $0.125 monthly dividend amount corresponds to a $1.50 annualized payout and currently yields 6.52%.
While robust asset appreciation has suppressed the current yield below the company's own 7.8% yield average over the last five years, Gladstone Commercial Corporation current yield is more than twice the 3.04% average yield of the entire financial sector.
Additionally, GOOD's current yield has also outperformed the 6.29% simple average yield of the Closed-End Fund — Equity industrial segment.
Furthermore, the Gladstone Commercial Corporation's asset appreciation has combined with the dividend income to produce total return of nearly 35%.
Additionally, this REIT has also delivered to its shareholders a 68% total return over the past three years and a more than 72% return over the last five years.

Being on the run from the law, notorious (but framed [?]) Billy the Kid (Bob Steele) arrives in Texas from New Mexico, & witnesses a stage held up & being relieved of its payroll. Doing what he figures would be the right thing, he holds up the robbers & relieves them of their loot.
LAter, Billy meets up with his old pal Fuzzy (Al St.John) in Corral City, but Corral City is terrorized by the Lazy A-gang, incidently the gang that held up the stage, & before long, one of them shoots Billy in the back (but does of course not kill him).
Recovering thanks to the care of local express line manager Mary (Terry Walker), Billy learns the desperate state Corral City is in, with the Lazy A-gang just dominating everything while stages are frequently robbed, & there's noone in sight who'd like to become sheriff ... so Billy (remember, Billy the Kid) decides to become a lawman (& Fuzzy his deputy), & since he is quite handy with both his gun & his fists, he soon puts the Lazy A-gang into their place.
Soon, the Lazy A's bosses Flash (John Merton) & Dave (Charles King) decide to hire gunman Gil (Carleton Young), who has previously helped them with their stage-hold-ups, to help them out again & duel the new sheriff.
Turns out that Billy & Gil are actually brothers, who have been framed in New Mexico for a series of crimes & since have tried to stay alive with a series of odd-jobs ... & while for Billy, that odd-job at the present is sheriff, Gil has turned outlaw with the Lazy A-gang - but of course he agrees with Billy to help him arrest the gang & retrieve the stolen loot from previous stage hold-ups. And the 2 of them decide to hold up the next stage coach, too, as it delivers quite a payroll, which would be too bad if falling into the wrong hands (e.g. the Lazy A-gang).
In the meantime though, the Lazy A-gang has grown wise to Gil being Billy's brother & trying to help him, while Mary has grwon to Billy being wanted as an outlaw, so when Billy holds up the stage, he is soon legally arrested by a posse from Corral City - heck, the evidence is still on him -, & once the sheriff's away, the Lazy A gang violently reclaims the city, & even go so far as to blast the express office wide open to get their hands on the payroll Billy tried to keep from them after all.
But fortunately there's still Fuzzy - still deputy - & Gil, who break Billy free, & the 3 of them soon manage to round up & arrest the Lazy A-gang for good.
& while Fzuzzy & Billy soon move on, Gil stays behind as the new sheriff of Corral City.
Maybe nothing special, & apparently made on the cheap, but still a likeable little Western that has quite a few plottwists (like the 2 brothers only recognizing each other when engaged in a deadly gunfight) which set it apart from being just another formula Western (if ultimately Billy the Kid in Texas is just that), & it's leads, Bob Steele & Fuzzy, are among the better cowboy leads & sidekicks, respectively.


A hearty soup made from four kinds of canned beans is quick and comforting, and invites the bright promise of a new year.
Combine kidney, garbanzo, cannellini, and black beans with salty bacon and baby spinach into a quick soup that is both fortifying and easy to make.
Not long after the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Newtown, Conn., I picked my boys up from school, acutely grateful for their safety while we were apart. On the way home, we stopped by the craft store to pick up two spools of a delicate, iridescent ribbon. After completing homework, snack, and our other normal after-school routines, we moved into the living room, where we used the ribbon to tie small bows to the boughs of our Christmas tree; one for each of the victims at Sandy Hook.
Our holidays were beautiful. We had a revolving houseful of family and friends straight up until New Year's Day. We enjoyed Dinosaur BBQ takeout on Christmas Eve, our now-traditional beef bourguignon for Christmas dinner, and a plentiful selection of finger foods on New Year's Eve. I'm talking about mini crab cakes with chipotle remoulade, tiny quiche lorraines in puff pastry, stuffed mushrooms, cheese, and chicken wing dip. For three weeks, our recycling bins overflowed with gift packaging and remnants of merrymaking; evidence of our prosperity in family, love, and life.
In a large saucepan, over medium/medium-high heat, cook the bacon until crisp. Remove the cooked bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside. Reduce the heat slightly and add the onion and garlic to the pan. Cook, stirring frequently, for 5-7 minutes, until tender and golden. Carefully drain any leftover bacon grease. Add the beans and chicken broth to the pan. Cook for a few minutes until the mixture begins to simmer and the spinach has wilted. Return the bacon to the soup. Taste, then season with salt* and pepper, as desired.

I don't know. I'm not a skater or biker, so I can't really say much but the Wheel-skates from Chariot Skates look rather ridiculous and I don't know how much they'd really be an improvement over either.
"....radical roller skates that seem to breach the gap and take skating closer to skiing and cycling. Finished in about 5.5 pounds (each skate) of carbon fiber, the skates roll smoother and provide better maneuverability, as if you're skiing, in comparison to their conventional or even contemporary counterparts. Strapping your foot just below the axle of the (knee-high) main wheel, the Chariot skate also integrates a smaller wheel near your heel for extra support on rough terrains or grassy slopes."
They're hugely impractical but they might be fun. Just for a change, yanno?
Emily! Too lazy to change it, but not lazy enough to skip typing out an apology and explanation, lol.
And yeah, Fairy, I think they could be fun....but I'm pretty sure I'd kill myself on 'em, too.

A: I had a similar problem in the past and it was caused by a very very very long token in the request header Authorization. I don't think the problem is axios or something else, but the headers size. Can you post your headers as well?
EDIT 1:
Based on this answer, you should also increase the max-http-header-size in your api service (How to fix 431 Request Header Fields Too Large in React-Redux app)

A: I don't know this is a good answer.
But this worked for me.
Just close the tab and rerun the program again.
It fixed the bug.

A: You can increase the header-size on type of server you're using,
Node version v13.13.0 & above defaults to 16K prior it was set to 8K, you can increase it further but not a good practise. If you are using NextJS, you can use the --max-http-header-size={number} parameter to temporarily accommodate a workaround fix in package.json to 64K for example -
"scripts": {
"dev": "concurrently next dev node --max-http-header-size=64555 api-server",

Tutorial Ref:
https://tutorial.tips/what-is-the-max-http-header-size-in-nodejs-server/
nodejs: https://nodejs.org/dist/latest-v16.x/docs/api/cli.html#--max-http-header-sizesize

A: Wikipedia says
What causes error 443 ?
The 443 error may be caused by windows system files damage. The corrupted windows system files entries can be a real threat to the well being of your computer.
There can be many events which may have resulted in the system files errors. An incomplete installation, an incomplete uninstall, improper deletion of applications or hardware. It can also be caused if your computer is recovered from a virus or adware/spyware attack or by an improper shutdown of the computer. All the above actives may result in the deletion or corruption of the entries in the windows registry. This corrupted registry will lead to the missing and wrongly linked information and files needed for the proper working of the application.
How to easily fix (error 443)?
There are two (2) ways to fix 443 Error:
Advanced Computer User Solution (manual restore):

*

*Start your computer and log on as an administrator.

*Click the Start button then select All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, and then click System Restore.
3) In the new window, select "Restore my computer to an earlier time" option and then click Next.
4) Select the most recent system restore point from the "On this list, click a restore point" list, and then click Next.
5) Click Next on the confirmation window.
6) Restarts the computer when the restoration is finished.

Also there is a very good package call npm i axios-es6-class it allows you to use axios as
es6-class and stuff.

The town of Ahlen seized Edda the pedigree pug in November and sold her on eBay for 850 dollars to cover various debts, including unpaid pet taxes. The new owner is now claiming that she has had to pay for over two thousand dollars worth of surgeries for the dog even though she was told she was in good health. The woman is asking the town to reimburse her for both Edda and the procedures. The sale of the pug is under investigation.

Randle's triple-double powers Knicks to 95-86 win over Cavs

By Brian Dulik | December 29, 2020 at 10:44 PM EST - Updated December 29 at 10:44 PM
CLEVELAND (AP) — Julius Randle had 28 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists for his first triple-double in two years, leading the New York Knicks to a 95-86 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Tuesday night.
Randle, who scored 18 in the first half as New York built a 16-point lead, completed his seventh career triple-double with an assist on Elfrid Payton's 3-pointer in the fourth quarter.
It was the power forward's first triple-double since Nov. 19, 2018, with New Orleans.
"I just tried to take what the defense gave me while playing the game the right way," Randle said. "We've got great spacing and when the defense collapses, I know I can make the right play. When you get wide-open shots, it makes it easier for everybody."
Reggie Bullock scored 17 points and Payton had 14 points, eight boards and seven assists for the Knicks (2-2), who won their second in a row and earned their first road victory of the season.
New York made 14 of 25 3-pointers, increasing its NBA-best percentage to .459, with Randle making all four of his tries. The Knicks never allowed Cleveland to get closer than seven points in the fourth.
"Julius came into camp in great shape, which is the biggest thing," Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau said. "He's playing really well and he now knows his teammates' strengths, which makes everyone better."
Andre Drummond notched his fourth double-double for the Cavaliers (3-1) with 18 points, 17 rebounds and a season-high six blocked shots. Cleveland started the season 3-0 for the first time since winning six in a row to begin 2016-17.
The Cavaliers, who finished with the second-worst record in the NBA at 19-46 last season, missed their first 10 3-pointers and finished 7 of 32. Collin Sexton scored 20 points and Darius Garland had 17, but the starting guards were 12 of 35 from the field.
"There were moments when guys tried to take it on themselves, individually," Cleveland coach J.B. Bickerstaff said. "I felt like we were desperate and tried to make the home run play, instead of just playing good defense."
Randle had 18 points, eight rebounds and eight assists in the first half, powering New York to a 53-46 advantage. Bullock made four of the Knicks' 10 3-pointers, including a 31-footer at the buzzer in the second quarter.
New York built a 29-15 lead in the first when Randle made all five of his shots in racking up 14 points, six boards and five assists.
"I think we've got the right people in place from top to bottom in this organization now," Randle said. "They challenged me going into the offseason and I challenged myself, as well, to come back a better player."
Larry Nance Jr. added nine points for the Cavaliers, who will be without Kevin Love (right calf strain) for at least three weeks. The five-time All-Star aggravated the lingering injury Sunday against Philadelphia.
WHERE IS THE LOVE
Love, who sat out the opener with the same calf strain, will not be re-evaluated until late January. He has missed 116 regular-season games since helping the Cavaliers win the 2016 NBA championship. "Predicting injuries is hard to do, but I feel bad for Kevin," Bickerstaff said. "He's been working his tail off, trying to get right for this season."
Knicks: G Alec Burks (left ankle sprain) did not play after being injured Sunday against Milwaukee. Thibodeau said Burks is day-to-day … G Dennis Smith Jr. (left quadriceps) could rejoin the team during its ongoing four-game trip. … Rookie F Obi Toppin (right calf) and G Immanuel Quickley (left hip) were inactive, along with G Austin Rivers (groin) and F Omari Spellman (right knee).
Cavaliers: Rookie forwards Isaac Okoro (left foot sprain) and Dylan Windler (left hand fracture), G Matthew Dellavedova (concussion) and G Kevin Porter Jr. (personal) were not in uniform. … The Ohio Department of Health will allow 1,944 fans at upcoming home games, which is 10% of arena capacity. The Cavaliers have been limited to 300 spectators due to COVID-19 restrictions.
Knicks: Play Toronto in its temporary home of Tampa, Florida. The Raptors have won eight straight over New York, whose last victory in the series occurred on Nov. 22, 2017.
Cavaliers: Visit Indiana on Thursday. Cleveland begins a six-game road trip – its longest of the season – and won't return to Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse until hosting Memphis on Jan. 22.
The Cleveland Browns are hosting a drive-thru pep rally on Saturday in advance of the team's playoff matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Q: sorting collection by ids from an array My Thread model has many Posts. Let's say I want to reorder posts by an array containg ids I wish to see my posts sorted by.
thread.posts.collect {|x| x.id} # => [1,2,3]
order = [2,3,1]

posts = thread.posts.sort_by {|x| order.index x.id}
posts.collect {|x| x.id} # => [2,3,1]

thread.update_attributes(:posts => posts) # => true
thread.posts.collect {|x| x.id} # => [1,2,3]

What am I doing wrong? Is sorting by id always preserved in collections and can I somehow disable it?

A: You should always assume the order of results retrieved from your database as being more or less "random", unless you specifically ask it to sort them. This means that you can not rely on your database to magically store the order of posts associated with a thread (in fact, the code sample you posted would probably not query the database at all, because there is nothing to update).
The easiest way to achieve what you want is to add an order field to your Post model like this:
class AddOrderToPost < ActiveRecord::Migration
  def up
    change_table :posts do |t|
      t.integer :order, :default => 0
    end
    Post.update_all ["order = ?", 0]
  end

  def down
    remove_column :posts, :order
  end
end

In your Thread model:
class Thread < ActiveRecord::Base
  # ...
  has_many :posts, :order => 'order ASC'
  # ...
end

Afterwards you will be able to reorder the posts like this:
thread.posts.zip([2,3,1]) { |p,i| p.order = i }

If you want, you can also use a plugin like acts_as_list which provides this and other useful functionality.

Classical composer Luigi Boccherini was an Italian cellist, but he's also known for a number of guitar quintets, including one that features the famous Spanish dance "Fandango" movement.
"Audiences go nuts, because there is a pacing to the movement that is so skillful and builds in such a way, with moments of relaxation and release … there's an excitement about it, by the time it gets to the end people just leap to their feet because they've had this journey that is at once exotic, Spanish, and just really exciting," said the eminent classical guitarist Sharon Isbin, who can't imagine getting tired of this well-worn piece.… READ MORE...

Type "Holy Grail" into Google and … well, you probably don't need me to finish that sentence. The sheer multiplicity of what any search engine throws up demonstrates that there is no clear consensus as to what the Grail is or was. But that doesn't mean there aren't plenty of people out there claiming to know its history, true meaning, and even where to find it.

What Is Hygge and Why Does Everyone Love It?
BY INTELLECTUAL TAKEOUT
During these last few holiday seasons in Britain and America, a strange new concept has become incredibly popular. Occupying the minds of many of my female friends and family members, this concept is known as "hygge" (pronounced hoo-ga). This word originates from the far-off, exotic land of Denmark and has no direct translation into English. The closest meaning is "to give comfort and joy." It is the desire and feeling of coziness and hominess in everyday life.
To the Americans and Brits enamored with this fad, hygge signals comfy couches and mugs of hot cocoa.… READ MORE...

HOT & COLD: GLASS ART IN 3 PARTS
DECEMBER 13, 2019 TO APRIL 19, 2020
Katherine Russell is one of Canada's leading glass artists, based in Elkford. She splits her time between making blown glasswork and kiln-formed glasswork, utilizing both methods to explore new concepts, techniques and creative objectives.
In the early 20th century, most decorative glass production happened in factories. The design and affordability of smaller furnaces permitted artists to work with smaller production runs from their own studio, giving rise to what is known as the studio glass movement.
In this newly curated exhibit, Russell examines the methods and techniques that she employs in her studio. The series includes large blown works for which she is most known, a kiln-fired experimental series titled 'Memories are Malliable' and cold-fused work. The exhibit demonstrates an incredible breadth and diversity of work which represents this relatively new genre of decorative art.

GEISHA TO DIVA: THE KIMONO OF ICHIMARU
JUNE 7 TO SEPTEMBER 22, 2019
Famed for their elegant shapes and brilliant colouring—everything from peacock blue to tangerine—kimonos are an enduring symbol of the geisha. But there is more to the garments than their admirable style. Woven into the silk or linen of a kimono is the story of the woman who donned it while performing. And no story is more captivating than that of Japan's most sought-after geisha of the 20th century, Ichimaru. Her illustrious life from a geisha to an internationally known and acclaimed singer is the focus of this rare exhibition from the Greater Victoria Art Gallery.
This exhibit examines a relatively unknown and misunderstood custom of Japanese culture, beyond the sensationalism to its importance to Japanese society. First and foremost, Ichimaru was an artist and one of Japan's most enigmatic stars.
The exhibit also shines light on Japanese investment in the Elk Valley's coal industry, and the short-lived "geisha house" built to entertain visiting dignitaries and investors from Japan.

HOSMER: BOOM, BUST AND WAR
OCTOBER 13, 2016 to FEBRUARY 13, 2017
The exhibit traces the history of Hosmer from its establishment in 1906 as the one of only two coal mining communities in the Elk Valley not owned and operated by the Crow's Nest Pass Coal Company to its near demise following the closure of the mine in 1914 to its life as a hamlet today. At its peak, over 1,200 people called Hosmer home. The exhibit also examines how the beginning of World War I further drained the remaining population, both with men signing up with the 54th East Kootenay Battalion and "enemy aliens" being taken to an internment camp located in another Elk Valley ghost town, Morrissey.

PEACE PARK PERSPECTIVES
FEBRUARY 26 TO MAY 30, 2016
In 1932 Waterton Lakes National Park (Alberta, Canada) was combined with the Glacier National Park (Montana, United States) to form the world's first International Peace Park. Situated on the border between the two countries and offering outstanding scenery, the park is exceptionally rich in plant and mammal species as well as prairie, forest, and alpine and glacial features. The International Peace Park is a designated UNESCO Heritage Site.
This photography exhibition by Norman E. Riley explores the spectacular scenery of the International Peace Park from a number of vantage points. Based in Bellingham, Washington. Riley was honored to be selected as one of six artists from across the United States to participate in the 2015 Glacier National Park (USA) Artist in Residence program. The artist has generously donated the works to the collection of the Fernie Museum as part of the requirements for the program.

AN IMMIGRANT STORY: THE RISE AND FALL OF EMILIO PICARIELLO
SEPTEMBER 19, 2015 TO FEBRUARY 14, 2016
>VIEW EXHIBIT PHOTOS<
Emilio Picariello was an adventurous and hard-working family man whose ambitions led him to challenge the law of the land for profit. On the other hand, he was well known in the community for helping the less well off. His contravening of the Prohibition Act, and consequent violence, led authorities to realize that criminalizing the use of liquor was not in the best interest of society. In addition, it confirmed the need for provincial governments to address the regulation of the sale and use of liquor. The story is unquestionably associated with the history of Fernie and the Crowsnest Pass, and has generated media attention not only in the past but also today. It has been immortalized in the opera Filumena (librettist John Murrell and composer John Estacio) that has been performed not only in British Columbia and Alberta but also nationally.
The Emilio Picariello story is a significant one not only because it provides insight into the immigration history of Fernie but also because it allows for the exploration of the impact of Prohibition on individuals and the community as a whole. It also provides insight into ethnic tensions, law and order and justice themes.

FERNIE AT WAR: THE MORRISSEY INTERNMENT CAMP
JUNE 5 TO SEPTEMBER 7, 2015
Now a ghost town, Morrissey was once a First World War internment camp located just eight miles from Fernie. Canada, as part of the British Empire, became part of the Allied First World War effort in August, 1914.
There had been no plans to establish a camp in Fernie. In early June 1915, however, Fernie saw miners turn against their colleagues of non-British origin and demand that single miners and married miners with families still back in Eastern Europe be interned. The miners' threat of a major uprising and further closure of the mine forced civic, provincial and federal governments to react quickly. By June 9, a makeshift detention camp was created at the Fernie arena by the local government and supported by the Premier of BC.
The population of the camp grew quickly and the need for a larger and more secure camp forced the move to Morrissey. The economic downturn had left most of the town's buildings, which were owned by the Crow's Nest Pass Coal Company, empty and able to be repurposed. Prisoners were housed in the Windsor and Alexandria Hotels. By October, 1915, Morrissey became an established internment camp able to house from 250 to 300 prisoners.
The exhibit Fernie at War: The Morrissey Internment Camp explores this painful period in Canada's history and illustrates the impact of an international war had on the home front in the Elk Valley region of British Columbia.

I imagine atoms, the building blocks of life, in a perpetual dance, reacting with each other, generating a palpable life force over the land. I look for patterns in shapes and shadows that weave the scene together and infuse them into my paintings to recreate this flow of energy and magic. There's a sense of building and sculpting with my brush, working colour and value to create the illusion of 3 dimensions on the flat surface of the canvas.
I continue to find inspiration for my work through the powerful sense of place I feel here in the Kootenays. I owe much to the landscape that has shaped me, sustained me, challenged me and gifted me with much adventure and healed me with its restorative secrets. It's a wonderful feeling of gratitude and being part of something much bigger than myself, part of something magic! " From the Ground Up" is a tribute to these landscapes.
As you take in my show, I hope you too are reminded of your connection to the ecosystems we live in, and our role in helping maintain the fragile balance necessary for our collective well being."

OLYMPIC SPIRIT: CANADA'S SPORTS HEROES
NOVEMBER 28, 2014 TO MARCH 28, 2015
A select group of Canadian athletes have changed the face of sport in Canada forever. Olympic medalists, world champions, fierce competitors – they have competed for our country, won with pride and lost with dignity. Through their efforts, they have proven that sport can capture the imagination of an entire country – and often the entire world. They deserve to be remembered.
In 2002, Alberta artist Gordon Milne was commissioned by the Canadian Sport Centre Calgary to paint a series of large-scale portraits to celebrate our Olympic sports heroes. On exhibit at the Fernie Museum are twelve portraits from this series.
Accompanying the series are personal artifacts related to the achievements of the Olympians featured in the exhibit from Canada's Sports Hall of Fame.
This collection of portraits has been achieved with the generous support of the Canadian Sport Centre Calgary, ARC Energy Trust, BMO Financial and Alberta Culture and will ensure a lasting tribute to our Canadian sport heroes.
