Attorney General's Youth Advisory Committee
APPLICATIONS FOR THE 2022/2023 SCHOOL YEAR ARE CLOSED
Please check back next August, 2023. Minimum application age: 13 years or entering 8th grade.
The Utah Attorney General's Youth Advisory Committee gives an opportunity to students to make the State of Utah a better place by providing advice to the Attorney General's Office on events, programs, and policies that affect teens.
The Committee meets twice a month to tackle issues that are important to the State of Utah.
Operation Give Back: Assisting law enforcement in finding needy families during the holiday season. Youth join the Utah Attorney General's Investigators and other law enforcement to identify families who could use extra help around the holiday season. They are dispatched to different stores in areas with a lower socioeconomic status to look for potential gift recipients. Throughout the morning they radio law enforcement the car model and license plate of their chosen recipients to allow law enforcement to pull over families and present them with gifts. They may also have opportunity to ride along with law enforcement to give away the gifts. Each year families are deeply grateful and it is one of the more memorable service opportunities.
SafeUT App: Providing feedback on improvements to the app and teen use. The SafeUT App is a free app that connects students, educators, and parents in crisis situations across Utah with licensed crisis counselors. The app also allows students to submit tips about unsafe situations at school. This app was created by adults, and the teens had lots of suggestions on how to make it more applicable and appealing to teenagers. In previous years they have reviewed the design, features, format, chat and tip functions, and outreach of the app and have identified concrete and in-depth suggestions. The Youth Advisory continue to provide feedback and work to ensure all teens have access to this life-saving tool.
In 2021 the Youth Advisory heard from Deondra Brown and her very personal story about child abuse. As young people it can be a very difficult time to open up to friends or allow others to help. She made such an impact on those who heard her story, and the teens were able to gain a whole new perspective on the reality of abuse.
In past years the teens have advised the statewide Children's Justice Center Program on how to make centers more teen-friendly. The youth met with the statewide CJC Services Specialist, who showed them photos of the waiting rooms, exam rooms, and interview rooms at various Children's Justice Centers throughout the state. The teens were able to give feedback on how to make the centers more welcoming for their peers who have been abused, as well as suggestions on how to communicate more effectively with teenagers. These ideas are being implemented at centers across the state.
L.E.T.S. Stay Safe – Utah's Firearms Safety & Violence Prevention Program. This program and curriculum went live in the 2019-2020 school year. The Attorney General's Youth Advisory Committee was involved in the entire process, including early brainstorming meetings, curriculum design, and logo scheme. They helped the developers understand social media, different ways of learning, and Utah teen culture. They were also involved in the making of the instructional firearm safety film and are featured throughout the video.
Interested in helping out? We would love to have teenagers from all over Utah apply!
Be 13-18 years old and be in middle or high school, whether public, private, charter, or home school.
Be a resident of Utah.
Have an interest in making the State of Utah a better place by providing advice to the Attorney General's Office on events, programs, and policies that affect teens.
Meetings are held twice a month on Wednesdays, starting at 4:30 PM. For rural members, meetings can be accessed through virtual video conference.
Applications for the next school year will open at the end of the summer and are due August, 2023.
Before you apply, please read through the Charter, Rules, and Governance of the Utah Attorney General's Youth Advisory Committee.
Questions? Please email Rebecca Lee at rebeccalee@agutah.gov.

Size isn't everything, says C4's Underwood
By Ann-Marie Corvin2018-09-13T09:19:00+01:00
IBC2018: Broadcasters should face up to the onslaught of the digital giants by focusing on distinctiveness and innovation, argued Keith Underwood, Guest Chair of the Conference.
Digital giants Apple and Amazon may be ploughing billions into content, but there will always be room for smaller companies which innovate and are distinctive, Channel 4's COO Keith Underwood argued at the opening of the IBC2018 Conference.
"Scale alone is not sufficient": Keith Underwood
Underwood told delegates: "Scale alone is not sufficient for success. David didn't beat Goliath by piling on the pounds. The victory came by being agile, nimble and deploying smart technology."
The exec, who has taken on the newly-created role of Guest Chair for this year's conference sessions, set the tone for the programme with a speech that focused on the response by established media businesses to the onslaught of the digital streaming giants.
Underwood, who helped transform the commercial pubcaster's 4oD catch up service into the more dynamic All4, described the achievements and resulting scale of SVoD behemoths Amazon and Netflix as 'awe inspiring'.
"The level of competition driven by these businesses has brought significant benefits for consumers, it has driven quality and choice, in what is now considered to be a Golden Age of TV," he added.
However, he warned that the ascent of Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix and Google - collectively known as FAANG - could come at the cost to local creative industries and new talent. Broadcasters, he warned, could not afford to be complacent.
"What is not in doubt is that established businesses need to respond and respond quickly."
"Now, more than ever before, established content providers must compete head-to-head with new entrants, often with an imposing global scale."
One response to the rise of FAANG has been the mega mergers which Underwood said were "fundamentally reshaping" the industry.
In the US these include mergers between AT&T and Time Warner; Fox and Disney; Discovery and Scripps; as well as the anticipated reunion of CBS and Viacom.
"No CEO can credibly claim to not understand technology and expect to stay in their job." Keith Underwood, C4
In Europe he pointed to the battle for Sky and its 23m pay TV subscribers between Disney and Comcast.
"If only I hadn't sold my Sky shares last year," Underwood quipped, "I'd certainly be staying in a better class of hotel in Amsterdam."
The former Discovery executive also highlighted national collaborations taking place between rival broadcasters in a bid to scale up, including France Televisions, TF1 and M6's joint VoD venture Salto as well as the rumored VoD initiative between the UK's three main terrestrial channels.
"It is entirely possible that many of our expert speakers could be colleagues rather than competitors by the time we leave Amsterdam on Monday," he speculated.
In terms of where this leaves smaller players, Underwood said there were huge opportunities for niche operators with carefully curated propositions, citing the success of niche VoD player Walter Presents, which operates on All4 in the UK. "Distinctiveness can defeat scale," he said.
Underwood predicted that the confidence to embrace new technology would be crucial in helping broadcasters maintain a competitive edge in a landscape that requires its operators to be nimble.
"No CEO can credibly claim to not understand technology and expect to stay in their job," he said.
"Artificial intelligence and machine learning are delivering personalised user-experiences; Blockchain is enabling innovation in transactional processes and rights management; and cloud computing underpins 'fluid' platforms for content creation, distribution and consumption."

An idea from an aspiring article writer.
Hey, everyone. After a year or so of following this site and reading on some SCPs, I decided to have a try at writing my own article. As mentioned in the title, the "object" described in this article will be referred to as the Smiling Man. I was planning on having his physical description be rather mundane with "under the surface" horror tones. As for his actual abilities, I was thinking of some prophetic abilities, though there would be a slight twist that though the Smiling Man gives out prophecies for free, these prophecies are not always true.
I would like some feedback on the general concept, and if anyone knows if something like that has been done before, give me a heads up. Anyways, it's good to be a part of the Foundation and I look forward to hearing from you.
Kinda drifting into recycled creepypasta territory. Honestly if your execution is on point, there's no reason why it can't succeed.
Yeah, I understand the whole "creepy smiling man" thing has been done, though from those two it was a common theme that their smiles were "unnatural" or somehow beyond human capabilities. I was thinking that this character would simply be always pleasantly smiling, or sometimes smirking like he knew some dirty secret. Nothing too unnatural. The article itself would mostly deal with his prophetic abilities and how some measures are being taken to harness this power while keeping in mind he does sometimes outright lie in his prophecies.

Stricklin walks through how he prioritized facilities projects in Gainesville.
When Scott Stricklin arrived in Gainesville three and a half years ago as University of Florida's new athletic director, he walked into an athletic department with a variety of facility needs. Although renovations had just been completed at the Exactech Arena at the Stephen C. O'Connell Center, where basketball and volleyball compete, and football had a new indoor practice facility, many other facilities were in need of renovation or replacement.
"Jeremy Foley was AD for 25 years, they won 27 national championships and over 200 SEC championships. That's a lot of success," says Stricklin. "And so, when you're winning, it's easy to go, 'You know, what, what we have is good enough.' And I will say, our facilities provide what they need to on a day-to-day basis for athletes."
Although some of the facilities would fall under the category of "adequate," it was obvious some changes needed to be made in order to remain competitive.
"When you travel around, you start seeing the investments other schools have made. You see things maybe from the viewpoint of what a recruit or a potential coach might see when they're coming on your campus."
Asked how he went about prioritizing projects when he arrived in Gainesville, Stricklin says that although some plans had already been forming in the department, he did make some adjustments.
"There was kind of a roadmap of what should be next, which was a standalone football complex, renovations to baseball and renovations to softball. So, I kind of spent my first year studying those three projects and we kind of shifted gears a little bit.
"We did renovate softball, but instead of renovating baseball in the current site, we decided that site, which is adjacent to our football practice fields, will be ideal for a new football standalone building. To build there, you obviously have to do something with baseball."
The new $65 million baseball stadium, designed by Populous and Walker Architects, is being built on land on the southwest part of campus that formerly housed a citrus grove. The athletic department worked with the university to relocate the citrus grove, including contributing funds to the relocation. The new stadium is adjacent to softball, lacrosse and soccer, creating a new athletic district on that part of campus.

— Florida Gators Baseball (@GatorsBB) September 12, 2019
Stricklin, who began his career as a baseball sports information director, is excited about everything the new baseball stadium will have to offer.
"Well, when you talk about Minor League ballparks, that's what this one feels like. The new Florida ballpark has seats that come right down to the field and really kind of hug the field. There's not a ton of foul territory, so the fans are really close to the action and it has the open concourse concept where as soon as you walk in the stadium you're on the concourse and you can see the whole field. You never lose contact with the field as you go up to concessions or check out the restrooms. It has a second deck that has a club level and the press area and a couple of sky boxes and a lot of berms and space down the lines beyond the grandstand."
Stricklin added that 95% of the seats in the ballpark will be in the shade for afternoon games.
"I think that's totally going to change the mindset of people wanting to come out and support the Gators," says Stricklin. "And I I think it's going to make a huge impact on the attendance and support our team gets."
The new big project in Gainesville is the new football facility, which is being designed by architecture firm HOK and expected to break ground after the completion of the baseball stadium in the summer of 2020.
"It's going to be magnificent," says Stricklin. "It's going to have everything from a functional standpoint that you need for a football program – the locker room, the training room, the weight room, and equipment room.
"We are building it adjacent to the current practice fields and indoor facility. So, the new weight room is actually going to have a huge glass wall that connects to the existing indoor field, which is only three or four years old now. The weight room is going to be really big, but then it's going to look and feel even bigger because it's connected to a 120-yard indoor field. Then the training room looks right out over the practice field. And again, the adjacency, it makes sense if you have an injury. A player can come right into the training room."
Stricklin says one of the unique features about the facility will be its use beyond football.
"I've got to give [football head coach] Dan Mullen a lot of credit for this–really it's part of the culture here at Florida and understanding that we have 21 sports and they're all highly successful," says Stricklin.
"The back 75% of this facility is all going to be football, but the front 25% is going to be a dining hall for all 500-plus student athletes and a rec space, both indoor and outdoor for all of our sports. And I think that's unique that a football coach would understand that I'm going to have a place in the back, where my players can develop and be as good as they can be. But when they're on their own with free time or eating dinner, I want them – because at Florida we have Olympic medalists who are currently in school here and we have national champion gymnasts and other sports – I want my football players around highly successful athletes in other sports because I think that's going to make them better. The iron sharpens iron kind of kind of philosophy."
Asked about the role head coaches play in the design of a new facility or renovation, Stricklin says it depends on the coach.
"I'll go back to the ballpark and contrast it to the football training center. Kevin O'Sullivan is our highly successful baseball coach. He had a couple things that were important to him. We had a member of his staff, Buddy Munroe, who's his operations guy, who was much more involved in the conversations about the team spaces and how that connected to the coaches offices and the workflow of all that and the efficiency of the space. We asked him questions about bullpen location and depth of the dugouts, but they were much more hands-off than say Coach Dan Mullen has been on the football training center."
"Dan has such a good eye for these things," Stricklin continues. "And, when you say a coach is involved, I think people immediately think, well they're involved because they're asking for a bunch of stuff. It's not that. They understand budgets. They understand limitations. But they also say, if we're going to spend this money, you know, let's make sure that we have the players' locker room in close proximity to the training room and the equipment room.
"There are some adjacencies that make sense, and a coach can really give that perspective in a way that someone else who's an architect, or someone's who administrator, may not."
It's not just the head coaches who give input on new facilities.
"We're doing a dining hall in this new football facility. So our nutritionist had been really involved in how that lays out and what that means for athletes. If we don't ask the input of the people who are going to use the facility, it limits your ability to build something that's going to be there for a long time to service a lot of people."
So, what's next for the Gators after the new baseball stadium and football facility?
"We're always looking ahead. We finish up baseball this summer. We start on the new football building immediately after that in the summer here of 2020, and then football will take about 18 months. We'll start thinking about what comes after that," says Stricklin.
"Eventually, we want to do some significant work here in The Swamp – Ben Hill Griffin Stadium. It's an iconic venue. I think it takes a unique approach because it's got a great vibe to it once it's packed. But, it's also kind of designed for a 1970s kind of crowd. You know, the seats are really tight, there's not a lot of leg room. So, how can you go in and make a little more comfortable without losing what makes it special and maybe add some new premium areas and some other fan amenities?"
Before the Gators tackle the football stadium, however, there are some more immediate needs in Stricklin's mind.
"A little more immediate is we need to build a clubhouse for our soccer team. They're kind of the only sport that that doesn't have a great locker room set up the way they're currently positioned," says Stricklin. "Eventually, we want to add more shade covering at some of our outdoor venues such as soccer, lacrosse and our tennis venue. A lot of ways to just kind of make it more fan friendly."
Stricklin said there's always something you want to do as an athletic director with your facilities, so fans can expect to see the Gators continuing to reinvest in their infrastructure under his watch.

Is Lena Denassha Gay?
I realize you must be curious to know if Lena Denassha is Gay, and I am likely to reveal all , because of that. Stay on this page for a couple moments, and the mystery will be revealed.
Lena Denassha Gay-o-Meter
Lena Denassha Photos
We're mindful of exactly what Lena Denassha need us to think. We've been Paying attention and we noticed his actions. Lena Denassha had connections with girls in his life, and his behavior was observed by us in the past few decades. All of us cried when he ended things with his up. Until they stopped being so, they seemed just like the perfect couple. Has been sleeping around a lot, however, there was not anything serious ever since Lena Denassha. All the women rejoiced, of course. While he went clubbing night, they had they opportunity with him.
Lena Denassha wants us to believe a certain way, and we understand that which It is. It's not like we can't see what he is around. He had a few relationships with women over the years, and we all watched what the tabloids had to say about doing it. We all felt sorry for them when he finished things with his girlfriend. It wasn't meant to be, although they appeared as if they were the magic duo. None of those relationships was steady, although in public, Lena Denassha emerged considering that the break-up with ladies. To all of the women in town's excitement, Lena Denassha was clubbing a lot lately, which gave them a fair chance.
We all know what Lena Denassha want us to think. We've Got all Been witnesses to his activities. He had a couple of connections during his lifetime, and we all enjoyed the scandal which came together. We were really unhappy if he awakened with his sweetheart. They seemed to be the perfect couple. The keyword being "seemed." After the break-up, Lena Denassha had a few flings, however, it was never serious. Each of the single women in town believed they had a chance with him because he would go.
Lena Denassha leads us to think a certain way, however, All of Us read The tabloids, and we understand what he's been around. He was that we knew of, if all hell broke loose and all of us caught our popcorn. The simple fact he broke up with his long term significant other made a great deal of people sorrowful. Everyone believed they were meant to be. After of the scandal and the experience, Lena Denassha did not participate in something serious and acquired a phobia for devotion. If he went outside but the girls did not prevent being around him.
Frankly, although there are a lot of stereotypes, not all Them are completely correct. You can not just decide that a man is homosexual because he likes to tend to his skin like you can not tell because she likes to dress like a man a woman is homosexual. There is more to this than that.
We can not deny that there are many labels out there, Although not all these signify the truth. Just as a man likes to look after himself doesn't mean he is gay, if she prefers clothing, the same as a woman can not be called homosexual. It goes farther than that.
All of Us know the typical Clichés, but that does not make them real. You can not simply presume that a man is gay because he likes to take care of himself, as you cannot presume that a lady in clothing is a female. There's more to this than one may believe.
We are all aware of the hackneyed Ideas which are in society. People today label guys as homosexual because they are fond of skin care solutions. Women are not overlooked. They are quickly labeled as homosexual just because they like to dress at the style of a man. But there is much more to this than meets the eye.
Does careers change?
As far as I'm concerned, it should not. Sexual preference is In regards to that person's job a private component of somebody's life and should not be taken into account. It does not impact his working abilities. It does not mean he is bad at his job, if someone is homosexual. Individuals can be horrible occasionally, and they don't hide their discrimination against gays.
From my point of view, sexual preference shouldn't influence Since it has nothing to do with a individual's capacity to do at his 19, someone's career. But we live in a world in which intolerance still exists, and also a lot of individuals are discriminated against because they're homosexual.
From where I reside, being gay has nothing to do with Somebody's ability to do a job that is wonderful. Sexual orientation has no effect on a person's skills. Some of us are prejudiced and believe that gays have no place in some specific fields, even though private life shouldn't matter everywhere.
In my view, sexual orientation is irrelevant to a Person's job. Exactly what someone does in their own intimacy of his house is his small business. It does not signify that their abilities have to suffer. The entire world does not appear to take this idea completely, and some individuals are still discriminating against gays.
Is Lena Denassha gay? Conclusion
My desire is to live in a world where discrimination does not Exist. People like me, who aren't judgmental, will constantly support individuals. Nevertheless, there are still some who look at people though they're social pariahs. The reason is past my power of understanding.
I know that you are curious to find the response Is homosexual or not, but I will show what. The puzzle will unveil facing you if you continue reading.
Lena Denassha friends and family support his statement, also they Do not question his sexual tastes. It's tough to tell whether there is a truth to it. We are in need of a bit more evidence than a statements that are fabricated.
People from Lena Denassha entourage stand by exactly what he said, and Because they say there's nothing to 20, they don't want to disclose any additional info. Whether there's truth to that or not, I'll leave it up for you. However, I say we need just a tiny bit more than that.
Family of Lena Denassha and close friends say that there is no Truth to what people are saying regarding his sexual orientation. I can't honestly state that I think them. From where I stand, I want some more evidence.
Members of Lena Denassha close buddies deny any rumor that he Would be gay. They would, wouldn't they? I really don't know if they are telling the truth or not, but what I do understand is that I want more proof than a few social media statements.
The next thing you should look at is a person's response When you mention the community. It could go one of 2 ways. One, you'll begin to see a good deal of interest and commitment . He participates at every parade and fights with people's faith. Or maybe he likes to bring it up . Obviously, you will need this to get in the bottom of it. Two, anticipate the opposite reaction. He shows his own feelings and reveals disgust towards homosexual people. When that happens, he's either gay but will not come out about it, or he is in denial.
Second, you can tell if a Individual is gay or not currently judging by His reaction when you bring up spiritual rights or even the community. Two responses that are possible can be expected by you. One of them will show a maximum interest. Maybe he tells you a great deal of facts he engages in gay parades. Or he gets out at the street when need be. You will need something to know he's homosexual. It's insufficient. The response is at the opposite corner. He might get defensive and start trashing men and women. He'll show his facet. What would you make of it? He is gay but does not have the courage or he has no idea he is, in fact, gay.
Wish to understand a different tell-tale signal? Bring the LGBT Community and also the situation in your country of homosexual rights. You may judge by his responses. There are two of these. In the first one, he will seem interested and enthused. He will reveal a lot of information about it as though he spent studying about it. You may need more evidence. He just likes reading about stuff. The reaction will uncover negative feelings towards the community. He'll probably make comments or maybe laugh. The aim is to reveal homophobia. But the only thing you'll be able to admit from that reaction is that he possibly is in complete denial, or he's simply afraid to show the truth.
Another thing that could show the fact is His response whenever you make a comment about the LGBT community and people. The problem can go one of 2 ways. One, he may show his passion by speaking as though he chased it. You may be told by him about the time he triggered for people's rights and moved parades. That alone is insufficient evidence, you need something longer. Two, you might get an extremely negative response. He will begin making comments that are awful on the subject and will want to make you believe he's homophobic. But the only conclusion you can draw from that response is that he does not know yet that he's homosexual, or perhaps he simply fears the stigma and does not wish to come out of the cupboard.
In my view, it shouldn't. Being homosexual is Something way too private to be considered as an obstacle. Sexual orientation has nothing. It will not impact his ability to do a job that is great. We live in a mean world, to say the very least, and folks continue to be discriminated against due to their sexual orientation.
The way I see it, there is a different outcome for particular Categories of people. Regular individuals, including you and me, are very likely to be bullied if they're gay. Due to their sexual orientation, their livelihood may suffer in 1 manner or the other. They are not approved in the workplace, and individuals may feel uncomfortable about them, etc.
On the opposite side, we have men and women. When a celebrity Comes out of the closet, people's reaction differs. They can send encouragement messages, or else they might think about the gesture of the star. A sexual orientation change at a person that is renowned will enhance his career. Why?Since it's a PR stunt. All of the focus will be concentrated on that information for a while. That's the way media works. Look at what happened to Caitlyn Jenner. Bruce became Caitlyn, also Caitlyn got her own TV show. Her career moved into the next level.
Shouldn't be discriminated against, And I would really like to live in such a world. Fortunately, some people lead their lives by "Live and let live," that is why they either support the LGBT community or have nothing against it. There are people who fear and that fear turns to bigotry.

Michael Arace | Rocker's road to TV golf is one wacky tale
Michael Arace
marace@dispatch.com
Lizard McGee began playing something that was slightly akin to golf more than 15 years ago, when his octogenarian mother gifted him a set of used women's clubs. At least, that's the way McGee begins this story.
Bear in mind: A man named Lizard may or may not be a reliable source. He is a fiercely independent rock-n-roller who conjures lyrics from his dreams. The last album his band recorded, "Pause for the Jets," is a "science-fiction rock opera." It's a spectacular piece of work in part because his band ROCKS — and in part because it is so imaginative.
This much is sure: Lizard McGee — a 50-year-old songwriter, guitarist and frontman for the Columbus underground rock band Earwig — will on Thursday night appear as a competitor on the ABC game show "Holey Moley." If you haven't seen it, "Holey Moley" is something akin to miniature golf, if the course were laid out at an amusement park by a sadistic architect with a questionable grip on reality, if not reality TV.
Perfect for Lizard.
McGee will be putt-putting in the persona of The Golden Arrow, a character inspired by David Bowie's "Starman" which is a seminal single from the timeless album, "The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars." In fact, McGee will be playing with a putter he named "Ziggy." And he will be applying the lessons he learned from "Zen in the Art of Archery," a book by the German philosopher Eugen Herrigel.
"I love watching Chevy Chase play golf," McGee said, conjuring "Caddyshack." "As it is taught in `Zen in the Art of Archery,' what happens after the arrow leaves the string means nothing. I'm not interested in results. It's about the process. I will drive the ball to the hole like a golden arrow."
OK, there's a lot going on here.
Let's start from the beginning and try to figure out how all of this landed on a huge, reality-TV stage in L.A., with Joe Tessitore supplying play-by-play, Rob Riggle adding color and Jeannie Mai doing the sideline interviews. (Sometimes, I truly miss Howard Cosell.)
McGee, who grew up in Whitehall, got those golf clubs from his mom and was inspired. On his property in Vinton County, he carved out what he described as "a true Scottish links" course which, as far as I can gather, is more like a Frisbee golf course that winds through cornfields and old-growth forest. With 17 cats prancing about.
"There might be an underwater hole," McGee said. "Maybe you have to hit a shot hanging from a rope. ...
"And, yes, I recognize that's a large number of cats, and I understand that's a weird thing for a grown man, but people just drop them off at our place and we take care of them, and try to find them homes."
McGee fabricated a miniature-golf hole on the deck of an old boat. Why is there an old boat on his property? It washed up from another galaxy, or something. Indeed, McGee's farm sounds an awful lot like Ken Kesey's old place — and it wasn't long before Lizard and his own band of Merry Pranksters began playing field-and-forest golf on his "true Scottish links." This, in turn, evolved into an annual event, the Silver Baby Cup — so named for the only hardware that was at hand.
Since the defending champion is charged with hosting the event, the Silver Baby Cup moves around like the U.S. Open. There are defending champions all over the map. This turned into a problem in 2012, when Earwig had an offer to open for Weezer at the Ohio State Fair — during the week of the tournament.
"That offer was the stuff of dreams for an aspiring indie band," McGee said. "I said, 'No. I've got a golf championship.' "
As Weezer, which has sold more than 35 million albums worldwide, played Columbus, McGee won his first Silver Baby Cup on some wack-a-doodle course on the coast of Maine. There's a song in there, somewhere.
Fast forward, now, to late last year. McGee and his wife of 31 years, Michelle, are going through a thick sheaf of papers. The paperwork is a waiver form supplied by the producers of "Holey Moley." McGee had been recommended for the show by a friend, had gone through the interview process and now they wanted him in L.A. All he had to do was promise not to sue anybody if he was maimed or killed as he entertained America.
"Bless my wife," McGee said. "She was incredibly supportive."
He also said, "I started sleeping with my putter."
In January, amid his Zen practice sessions with a thrift-store putter, McGee was back in the studio. Earwig with McGee's daughter Medusa Lullaby on keyboards and the Hondroulis brothers, George (bass) and Constantine (drums), supplying the backbone rhythms -- was working through their seventh studio album. Abruptly, McGee up and left for L.A., without much explanation, as he was sworn to secrecy by the producers of "Holey Moley."
He was off to a different sort of recording session. He packed a spangled suit, face paint and Ziggy, his putter.
Tonight, the Golden Arrow flies. Look out for the windmill.

How Not so Green is This Valley
By Marjorie on June 27, 2020 • ( Leave a comment )
PAONIA, CO – Nestled in the North Fork Valley, the rural town of Paonia is surrounded by bucolic, bright green fields and tidy homes. Mount Lamborn rises over 11,000 feet above the southeast corner of town, and its main drag, Grand Avenue, is home to an eclectic mix of art galleries, gift shops, plain ol' professional offices, restaurants, and the award-winning High Country News.
In a spacious office just across the street from the post office, Denver-based organizer Ean Thomas Tafoya is busy at his laptop. He's appreciative of the arts and Paonia's charm, but he's here for work, not play. Among a number of projects in which he's deeply involved, Tafoya is the Colorado climate and water organizer for GreenLatinos, a Washington, DC-based nonprofit that focuses on conservation and environmental issues that affect Latinx communities across the country.
Tafoya spent yesterday in Rifle, where he connected with some old acquaintances and met new activists, including a number of mothers who had joined the Juneteenth protests last week.
"They were all participating in a Black Lives Matter rally and protests, and they were surrounded by gun-toting white supremacists and people trying to intimidate them," Tafoya said. "I needed to go there to be with them and to tell that that we're watching them from the capital and that we're supportive."
The Rifle activists told Tafoya that there are about 4,000 registered Latino voters in Garfield County who don't actually vote. He wants to help local activists by providing support towards efforts to galvanize that visible and critical electorate.
"If we can turn out the vote, they could win at least two of the races," Tafoya said. He added that activists are attacking head-on the challenges that face their communities, including affordable housing, improving water quality, and the proliferation of plastic waste. All of these directly impact not only Latinx people but also Black, Brown, and indigenous communities as well. Tafoya wants to make sure their voices are heard and their concerns are taken seriously by politicians at every level of government.
After his eventful afternoon in Rifle, he's now turning his attention to Paonia. where the Arch Coal company recently raised the ire of environmental activism groups when it recently bulldozed a new road into the Sunset Roadless Area of the Gunnison National Forest. despite a federal appeals court ruling prohibiting them from doing so.
"I'm here because the Arch Coal company made the decision during Covid to illegally construct a mile of road through a wilderness area, which is one of our highest protected levels of public land. It's a climate issue, an environmental justice issue because it can affect water quality."
Tafoya said that Arch Coal wants to dig more methane vents to expand their existing coal operations, claiming that they're mining "clean coal", but he points out that coal as a fuel source isn't even competitive in the market any more.
"I think that, to do this when no one was looking during Covid, is just despicable. And you know, Donald Trump has made it very clean that the rules don't matter, so I'm here to bring attention to it."
Tafoya closely links environmental degradation and its devastating effects on low-income populations to structural racism and tirelessly shares that message with anyone who will listen.
"Whether it be through gentrification or historic redlining, affordable housing is typically in areas that are toxic. And when you don't raise wages and we don't raise funds to fund housing, then what you're doing is you're marginalizing these people into toxic situations. And then even further down the level, if you become homeless, across many states in the west in particular, it's getting bad. They're passing camping bans where now your survival outside is illegal, and they move you along until you find places which are secluded, and sometimes those places are toxic."
Despite the turmoil of Covid, social and political unrest, and the upcoming presidential elections, Tafoya is determined to ensure that these issues remain top of mind for every voter. And as least in Colorado, which has universal mail-in voting, effecting real change doesn't even require leaving the house.
"Everyone should vote. If you're a conservationist, vote with your values. [GreenLatinos] is not into electoral politics, but we do want people to participate. The only way [all of] this changes is if you participate. And I also think that the Census is critical and crucially important to take. It has to do with redistricting and it also has to do with power."

Both bans followed the creation of a Facebook group promoting "Everybody Draw Mohammed Day," an event that encourages participants to submit artistic representations of the prophet Mohammed — something many Muslims consider to be idolatry — as an exercise in free speech.
As Jillian York explained in an ONI blog post earlier this month, the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) blocked the site on May 19 in accordance with a Pakistani high court order. The order followed a complaint by the Islamic Lawyers' Movement, a group that petitioned the court, calling the Facebook group "blasphemous."
Neither the original Facebook group nor the associated blog and website are currently in operation. According to the BBC the group was completely "withdrawn" by Facebook officials, while The Guardian reports that Facebook has "restricted access to the page in certain countries, including Pakistan, 'out of respect for local rules.'" The group is not accessible from the United States.
On May 31, Pakistan's Lahore High Court announced that it would reverse its order and restore access to the site. However, the court asked the government to take steps to prevent access to blasphemous and sacrilegious content online by considering a filter similar to that used in Saudi Arabia.
As Pakistan reversed its ban, the Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BTRC) announced that it would be "temporarily" blocking all access to the site within Bangladesh. The block is in response to "obnoxious images", according to a representative of the BTRC. The offending content includes depictions of Mohammed and several of the country's political officials as well as links to pornographic sites. The BTRC has said it will restore access once the content is removed.
A 30-year-old man has been arrested in the Bangladeshi capital for posting images of Mohammed on Facebook.
According to ONI sources, the United Arab Emirates blocked the individual Facebook group. Saudi Arabia has also blocked the group.
Herdict: Help us track whether Facebook is accessible from your country!
Internet censorship reporting site Herdict collected over 30 reports that Facebook was inaccessible in Pakistan. As of Tuesday afternoon, users in Bangladesh were largely reporting that Facebook is still accessible, though this is likely to change as the ban continues. You can tell us whether Facebook is accessible in your country via the Herdict reporter or using Twitter or e-mail.


I was lucky enough to kick start 2018 in a real Parisian style. Drinking morning coffee on a small balcony glancing over the Tower Eiffel, strolling between old tenements and eating in bistros were our daily routine.
Of course it would be a waste not to do a little photoshoot with the symbol of Paris. We woke up and got ready before the sunrise and it was so worth it. I wore a very comfortable yet chic co-ordinated striped suit with bell sleeves. The grey tones are broken down by neon orange shoes and let me tell you, they made me fall in love with this colour.


Women in Lagos have come out to show their dissatisfaction over the rate at which pregnant women in the country have been dieting during childbirth and also to register their feelings about the number of death in Benue state.
Speaking during the procession, Ochuwa Ubani stressed the fact that so many lives have been lost in the useless Benue killing and stressing that an end has to come to this unnecessary deaths.
The convener of the Nigeria Mourn, Dr Abiola Akiyode Afolabi suggested that a remembrance day picked by the government for people killed in Benue, Kwara, Delta by herdsmen would not be out of place.

Q: How to redirect to another page in reactjs How to redirect to another page in reactjs. Here is my code.

import React from 'react';
import { fade, makeStyles } from '@material-ui/core/styles';
import AppBar from '@material-ui/core/AppBar';
import Toolbar from '@material-ui/core/Toolbar';
import IconButton from '@material-ui/core/IconButton';
import Typography from '@material-ui/core/Typography';
import InputBase from '@material-ui/core/InputBase';
import Badge from '@material-ui/core/Badge';

import AccountCircle from '@material-ui/icons/AccountCircle';
import MailIcon from '@material-ui/icons/Mail';
import NotificationsIcon from '@material-ui/icons/Notifications';
import MoreIcon from '@material-ui/icons/MoreVert';

export default function PrimarySearchAppBar() {
  function logout(){
    this.props.history.push({pathname:'/'})
  }
}

Whenever I try to redirect its sayas "TypeError: Cannot read property 'props' of undefined"
how can i fix this?

A: Your component should look  something like this
class PrimarySearchAppBar extends React.PureComponent {
  logout = () => {
    this.props.history.push({ pathname: '/' });
  }

  render() {
    // some render logic here
    return <button onClick={this.logout}>Logout</button>;
  }
}

export default PrimarySearchAppBar;

Or with stateless components like this
const logout = (props) => {
  props.history.push({ pathname: '/' });
}

const PrimarySearchAppBar = (props) => {
  // some render logic here
  return <button onClick={() => logout(props)}>Logout</button>;
}

export default PrimarySearchAppBar;

Be careful that with stateless components, you can't use this keyword, but you have to pass it like standard paramater.

When scientists talk about "basic" science, it usually means research that is done by individuals in the laboratory using research skills that are quite different from taking care of patients in a hospital. For example, in my doctoral and postdoctoral work, I was trying to understand what makes the brain susceptible to seizures using experimental rodents (rats and mice). However, there are many clinicians who do exceptional basic research as well, so this definition is rather arbitrary.
Basic research can be of three main kinds, and all have their place in the scientist's toolkit.
This is an example of a hypothesis-based study.
Exploratory research – This research is done to see "what's out there" without a specific question in mind. For example, the human genome project was initiated to sequence and map all human genes. This type of study may seem to lack focus, but the results of this kind of research typically have broad applications.
Research for advancement of technology – This kind of research is self-explanatory. One example in epilepsy is the development of the responsive neurostimulation system by NeuroPace. This system has electrodes that monitor electrical activity in the brain and deliver brief pulses of stimulation when they detect activity that is reminiscent of a seizure. Hence, a seizure can be prevented before it occurs.
Why would someone decide to spend their lives doing basic epilepsy research?
Basic research can be an arduous process that requires multiple years of training and work, and rewards can be hard to come by. Why would one sign up for that kind of a career?
To offer possibilities for treatment – For individuals with epilepsy, anti-epileptic drugs (AEDs) are the first line of treatment. However, the AEDs that are prescribed all work only via a few, limited mechanisms. Also, these drugs are associated with side-effects and refractoriness. In order to develop better AEDs, we need to understand in greater detail what happens in the brain of someone with epilepsy.
Because the brain is fascinating and fun to study – the feeling of being able to study even one little part of the brain in extraordinary, breathtaking detail can be quite fulfilling!
To figure out how the brain works – studying any neurological disorder gives us valuable insight into how the brain works in general.
For me, the reasons to choose epilepsy were numerous. I learned that epilepsy affects a substantial proportion of individuals, yet the basic mechanisms still remain undiscovered. I was fascinated to be able to study in the lab, a disease that has such a strong association with mystery. I was also extremely fortunate to find a very talented scientist as a mentor in graduate school who was (and is) very enthusiastic about basic epilepsy research.
I want to understand research, but it is so difficult to understand the jargon scientists use! How can I educate myself on what's going on?
It is true that a lot of scientific articles are filled with technical jargon that is difficult for a non-specialist to grasp. Believe me – I feel lost when I read papers related to the lungs or the heart as well!
Fortunately, there are a number of avenues where scientists and science journalists explain the findings of studies without the verbiage. Read this website and feel free to post in the comments section if you have a question or if you'd like a study explained in non-scientific terms. You can log onto Pubmed and search the terms you are interested in to come up with a veritable treasure trove of epilepsy studies! Looking forward to your questions!
Who funds basic epilepsy research?
There are a number of avenues that scientists explore to fund research. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is one of the biggest funders of epilepsy research. Since the NIH is a federal organization, the money that researchers get to do epilepsy (or any) research is funded by taxpayers' money. This is all the more reason everyone should keep themselves informed about research – the money comes from you!
In addition, there are foundations that also fund epilepsy research, including the Epilepsy Foundation. Other organizations include Citizens United for Research in Epilepsy (CURE), American Epilepsy Society (AES), and Tuberous Sclerosis Alliance (TSA).
Where is epilepsy research heading these days? What are the goals?
to identify new genes that may be responsible for epilepsy and accompanying conditions like depression and anxiety (called "comorbidites").
to find mechanisms behind epileptogenesis. Epilepsy can be genetic (the individual is born with a tendency to have seizures) or acquired (seizure susceptibility is acquired in adulthood). For acquired epilepsies, an important concept is "epileptogenesis" – the process by which the brain transforms from one that is normal to one that generates and sustains epileptiform activity. At present, we do not have enough knowledge about epileptogenesis; but if we did, we could develop drugs that stop epilepsy in its tracks.
to find mechanisms behind accompanying comorbidites e.g. depression, anxiety and psychosis. If we had a better idea of the interplay between epilepsy and these comorbidites, we could find ways to address them, ultimately improving the quality of lives of people with epilepsy.
to get a better understanding of drug refractoriness.
Stay tuned to epilepsy.com for more cutting edge news for basic epilepsy research!
What are the tools used to do epilepsy research? Why do you use animals? Can't you use a computer? How are these animals treated?
Epilepsy research uses a whole set of tools from experiments in the lab on rats and mice to computational neuroscience to understand how neuronal circuits work to produce seizures. The topic of using animals in research is sensitive, as a lot of people wonder why we can't just use computers to study epilepsy. Research using animals is very well regulated, with organizations like the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) that make sure that animals are not treated with undue pain. In all of my years doing basic science, I have never come across someone who is disrespectful or callous towards animals. Still, there is a need for scientists to explain the results of their experiments so that people can get a better idea of how animals are used.
One of our goals at epilepsy.com is to present to you results of these experiments in a clear and concise way.
If you are an epilepsy researcher and would like to explain your work to people with epilepsy and their caregivers, or if you have questions about epilepsy research that you'd like to have answered, post your comments and I'll answer them as soon as I can!

Redwood City man accused of brutally attacking girlfriend's sister, neighbor after Giants parade
By BY Examiner Staff • November 4, 2014 12:00 am
Courtesy of San Mateo County Sheriff's Office
Kelson P. Aweau
A Redwood City man who attended the Giants World Series parade Friday with his girlfriend faces felony charges of attempted murder and assault after he allegedly attacked his girlfriend's sister and an elderly neighbor later that night, San Mateo County District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe said.
Kelson P. Aweau, 22, is charged with two counts of attempted murder, two counts of assault causing great bodily injury and one charge of assault causing great bodily injury to an elderly person, Wagstaffe said.
Aweau and his girlfriend had reportedly attended the parade in San Francisco earlier Friday and had been drinking throughout the day, Wagstaffe said.
After the parade, they returned to the girlfriend's house in Redwood City, which she shares with her 17-year-old sister and parents. About 10:30 p.m., Aweau is alleged to have brutally attacked his girlfriend's sister in the front yard of the home using some sort of weapon, either a hammer or a knife, Wagstaffe said.
He reportedly struck her multiple times in the head and body, slashing her face open, breaking her jaw and causing serious bleeding in the brain, Wagstaffe said. The victim reportedly needed more than 30 staples to close the head wound.
A 74-year-old male neighbor heard the commotion and went outside to help, Wagstaffe said. Aweau is then alleged to have charged toward the neighbor, striking him in the forehead and causing a huge gash that required 39 stitches, Wagstaffe said.
Aweau then reportedly went inside his girlfriend's home, covered in blood, and woke her up to tell her what he did. He then fled but returned 10 hours later and was arrested.
Aweau was in court Monday and appointed an attorney through the county's private defender program. No plea was entered.
He is scheduled to return to court Nov. 10 for arraignment and is currently in custody on no-bail status.

COVID cases are on the rise in California's juvenile prisons

Samsung is putting the mobile camera experience at the onus of its upcoming flagship smartphone, presumably the Galaxy S9. It has officially set a launch date of February 25 at 6pm Central European Time and will presumably hold an event in Barcelona on the cusp of MWC 2018.
A teaser video shows revolves around the phrase, "The Camera. Reimagined." It includes the number "9" coming into form, followed by a de-focus effect.
Rumors place the single rear camera on the Galaxy S9 to be an improved unit from the S8 featuring Samsung's ISOCELL technology. Just as with the S8+, the Galaxy S9+ will feature two rear cameras. At least one on each device will have variable physical aperture settings between f/1.5 and f/2.4.

Andreessen Horowitz backs British payment firm Sequence in $19m seed round
By Stephan Roth on Tuesday 20 September 2022
Silicon Valley venture capital giant bets big on British fintech firm.
Image source: RiyaGrover and Eamon Jubbawy.
Business payment provider Sequence has raised $19m in a seed round led by US venture capital giant Andreessen Horowitz, marking another big European fintech funding round.
Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), known for its early investments into firms like Airbnb, Facebook and Instagram was accompanied by SalesForce Ventures, Passion Capital, Firstminute Capital, FIN Capital, and Dig Ventures – among others – in the round.
The investment into Sequence is a16z's 11th European investment this year.
London-based Sequence was founded by CEO Riya Grover, who previously co-founded and led food delivery platform Feedr and chairman Eamon Jubbawy, ex-founder of Oxford University spinout Onfido, the digital ID firm.
Sequence aims to tackle the lethargic and clunky world of business billing and payments.
By developing a 'dynamic' B2B billing and collections solution, Sequence is offering automated and more streamlined pricing and invoicing process – and plans to leverage APIs, data and analytics to do so.
Sequence estimate that the total size of the global market for B2B payments is $100tn.
Having listed with the UK's Companies House in August 2021, reports of the seed round and a16z's involvement surfaced a year ago.
According to Business Insider, the competition for Sequence's initial funding round was intense – with a16z winning the $15m round at a $50 to $60m pre-money valuation.
The $19m seed round has now raised Sequence's post-money valuation to $75m.
Despite having yet to launch, 30 employees are currently working at Sequence.

Home » Vehicle Information and News » Bike Ownership – Getting Your Hands Dirty!
As any avid rider knows, if you want to own a motorbike then you can't be afraid of getting your hands dirty from time to time! This is all a part of being an owner and many people love working on their ride. I can get on board with this, as I think that it is important to know how to look after and care for a bike, motorcycle, car or anything else so that you can carry out maintenance work yourself. You should never neglect a beautiful bike!
First, check your oil level and condition as this can indicate problems with the bike. Make sure that it is not too low or milky in condition. To get the old oil out, put an oil pan underneath the drain plug and pull the plug – leave it be until it has stopped coming out. I find that the oil drains better when it is hot, so take the bike out for a spin before doing this (but be careful not to burn yourself!). Once finished, put the plug back in place and torque it to the right specification.
Next, pop the oil filter out (how you do this will depend on your bike) and get your new filter ready. Dip your finger in oil and smear the face of the O-ring – this will stop it from sticking before being tightened up properly. Now you can fill 'er up with the right amount and viscosity. You can find this out by checking your manual. Fire up the bike and make sure that you have the right pressure, before turning it off and re-checking the oil level. You are good to go and shouldn't have gotten your hands too dirty!
Another type of bike that has caught my eye lately is an e-bike. These look really cool and are also much cheaper to run (and better for the environment!). I would recommend picking a reputable manufacturer, like Brompton, and try before you buy if possible. There are loads of different types available, including ones for off-roading or cycling in the city, so pick one that is suited to your needs.
Of course, one of the first things that came to my mind when I saw an e-bike was "how can I modify it?". You can modify these like you would a car with bigger batteries and more powerful motors, allowing you to enjoy much greater speeds. You don't have much to work with in terms of visuals, but there are all kinds of different ways to personalise the bike and make it your own!
When you own any kind of bike, you can't be afraid of getting your hands dirty. Fortunately, bike maintenance is now easier than ever as there is so much handy information and advice online, so roll up your sleeves and get involved.

Stimulus hopes push global equity markets to new records, bonds hit 11-mth lows
David Randall
The front facade of the NYSE is ssen in New York
By David Randall
NEW YORK (Reuters) - A global equities rally pushed Japan's Nikkei to a more than three-decade high and U.S. stock benchmarks to new records on Friday, while safe havens such as Treasuries and gold sold off as investors looked past U.S. political unrest and focused on further stimulus to mend the economic damage of the coronavirus pandemic.
Risky assets, including oil, emerging market stocks and bitcoin, jumped, while a sell-off in 10-year U.S. Treasuries pushed their yields to the highest levels since March.
The surge came despite data from the Labor Department that showed the U.S. economy shed 140,000 jobs in December, the first time that payrolls decreased in eight months. Yet investors expect that President-elect Joe Biden's incoming administration will pass bigger fiscal stimulus and infrastructure spending plans.
"The economic reality stands in stark contrast to the markets' view of the world – we are all living in the present, with a badly damaged economy, while the market is living in the future, expecting a post-COVID or at least post-vaccine world," said Chris Zaccarelli, chief investment officer for Independent Advisor Alliance.
MSCI's gauge of stocks across the globe gained 0.84%% following broad gains in Asia and Europe, lifting it to new records. The Nikkei hit its highest level since September, 1990.
On Wall Street, the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 56.84 points, or 0.18%, to 31,097.97, the S&P 500 gained 20.89 points, or 0.55%, to 3,824.68 and the Nasdaq Composite added 134.50 points, or 1.03%, to 13,201.98.
"Investors are buying the end of an erratic Trump administration and looking forward to something new, which is a Biden presidency and the prospect of a significant spending program," said Francois Savary, chief investment officer at Swiss wealth manager Prime Partners.
Rising risk appetite weighed on bonds. Benchmark 10-year notes fell 12/32 in price to yield 1.1119%, from 1.071% late on Thursday.
The dollar index rose 0.267%, with the euro down 0.38% to $1.2223.
Cryptocurrency bitcoin pared gains after hitting another all-time high, dropping 1.6% on the day. Market watchers have said a pullback is likely following its recent run-up.
In commodity markets, oil traders continued to focus on Saudi Arabia's pledge to deepen production cuts, pushing oil prices near 11-month highs.
U.S. crude rose 2.8% to end at $52.24 per barrel and Brent settled at $55.99, up 3% on the day.
Spot gold dropped 3.4% to $1,847.15 an ounce.

Supreme Court upholds Ohio voter registration purge policy
Jun 11th 2018 11:23AM
WASHINGTON, June 11 (Reuters) - The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday revived Ohio's contentious policy of purging infrequent voters from its registration rolls, dealing a setback to voting rights proponents who said the practice has disenfranchised thousands of registered voters.
In a 5-4 decision with the court's conservatives in the majority, the justices overturned a lower court ruling that Ohio's policy violated the National Voter Registration Act, a 1993 federal law that forbids removing voters from registration lists for failing to vote.
Voters purged from registration rolls who sued to challenge the policy in the Republican-governed state said the practice illegally erased thousands of voters from registration rolls and disproportionately impacted racial minorities and poor people who tend to back Democratic candidates.
The state argued that the policy was needed to keep voting rolls current, clearing out people who have moved away or died.
The court's four liberal justices dissented from the decision.

Under Ohio's policy, if registered voters miss voting for two years, they are sent registration confirmation notices. If they do not respond and do not vote over the following four years, they are removed from the rolls.
Republican President Donald Trump's administration backed Ohio in the case, reversing a stance taken by Democratic former President Barack Obama's administration against the policy.

Writing for the majority, conservative Justice Samuel Alito said the court was not deciding whether Ohio's policy "is the ideal method for keeping its voting rolls up to date. The only question before us is whether it violates federal law. It does not."
The challengers criticized what they called Ohio's "use it or lose it" policy that they said violated registered voters' right to choose when to vote, noting that some voters do not cast a ballot when they do not support any of the candidates running.
Democrats have accused Republicans of taking steps at the state level, including laws requiring certain types of government-issued identification, intended to suppress the vote of minorities, poor people and others who generally favor Democratic candidates.
A 2016 Reuters analysis found roughly twice the rate of voter purging in Democratic-leaning neighborhoods in Ohio's three largest counties as in Republican-leaning neighborhoods.
The challengers, represented by liberal advocacy group Demos along with the American Civil Liberties Union, sued Ohio Republican Secretary of State Jon Husted in 2016 to end the policy.
Ohio contends voters are not purged from registration rolls for not voting but for failing to respond to a notice mailed by the state to them and then not casting a ballot for four more years.
The 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati in 2016 blocked Ohio's policy, ruling that it ran afoul of the 1993 law. The state appealed to the Supreme Court.
The case was one of several pivotal election-related disputes the justices are resolving during their current term, which runs through June. They have yet to decide two high-profile cases out of Wisconsin and Maryland that could impact future elections involving claims that state or congressional district maps were illegally drawn to favor one party over another, a practice called partisan gerrymandering.
