tv National Guard Briefs on Tropical Storm Harvey Response CSPAN August 29, 2017 11:30am-12:01pm EDT
and let those people do their work. host: i want to draw on your past work as deputy secretary at dhss. tom price declared a public health emergency in the wake of harvey. what does that mean? guest: there's a group that doesn't get enough credit. it is the public health service. these are dedicated professionals. they usually have some kind of advanced degree in the medical field. they work at hhs. they worked live to theo pentagon for a briefing on the national guard's relief efforts along the gulf coast in the aftermath of hurricane harvey. >> good morning. i'm curly the director of domestic operations of the national guard bureau. and that responsibility, i'm responsible
for essentially coordinating response and recovery told the mystic events the national guard is responding to. of the soldiers, i would like to give you a brief update on the national guard's response to hurricane harvey. our sympathy goes out to the citizens of texas and louisiana potentially. this hurricane and record aooding occurring has been great strain on families in citizense individual and our first responders. our thoughts and prayers have to be with the victims of this incident in the state of texas. we are proud of the texas guardsman who have responded. the soldiers and airmen have ton working around the clock alleviate the pain and suffering that have been experienced by the citizens in houston and southwest texas. i would like to emphasize upfront as we talk about
national guard response come the training and equipment the national guard receives to fight the nation's wars also make it possible, as we rapidly respond to states needs domestically, so that federal training becomes extremely important to our ability to rapidly respond in some of the capabilities that we bring in support of civil authorities, that training we received in the federal flood allows us to apply those unique skill sets and capabilities, especially as you look at ground rescue. it is important we recognize that the dual purpose, not only to fight the nation's wars federally, but respond on behalf of our governors domestically in the homeland. the priorities have remained a last 24 the same in the hours. lifesaving sustainment, specifically search and rescue remain at the top of the list.
property protection. we support not only security, but the president's missions around texas and specifically houston in support of local and state law enforcement. as we continue down, the guardsman support shelter starting towards the recovery phase once we start to get out of the response phase. their curly 3000 texas guardsman on duty today. they will be going to proximally will go to it proximally 4000 in the next 24 hours. specifically in the heavily flooded areas, big metropolitan area around houston is where we think most of that assistance will be required. secretary mattis approved the pat status that is hamilton. he is in place in the dual status commander, but the national guard in the state of texas and knee title x or
federal response forces that will be coming on. texas has already used over 500 vehicles, including 200 high profile vehicles that are able to go into and three feet of water. more than 200 are ready. we can posture additional high profile vehicles from surrounding states to come in at the request upon need. currently 30 national guard supporting that only airborne search and rescue efforts, but also supporting where required. 24 more than requested by the state of texas through the emergency assistance will be en route today and we could go up to 100 helicopters as required by the state of texas as we continue to respond to the flooding around the houston area. that is both air national guard
and army national guard, rotary wing assets. in terms of rescues -- i want to be careful when i talk numbers. these are very fluid. there is a great deal of rescues occurring around by the minute. but those that the national guard is directly involved includes over 3500 personnel rescue. most of those you see have been by some type of boat but also include almost 300 hoist rescues. they are technically difficult in terms of hoisting people up where they are unacceptable by any other method. almost 300 animal rescues have occurred. not only the humans associated, but the pets as we continue to alleviate the pain and suffering that the citizens of texas are experiencing right now. i don't want to leave louisiana out of the equation. as the storm moves across
thegulf of potentially being made what is called a third landfall, louisiana, currently 400 in louisiana. there are anticipating large flooding across the southwest portion of louisiana and preparing. the governor has not requested a dual status commander, but the louisiana national guard has if itfied a dual standard looks like it will be required. we anticipate louisiana will also request dual status commander as texas has already done. like to the size before we go to questions, this will be a long-term effort. usually when the guard response to hurricane type events, normally we talk about the first and then we are recovery effort. due to the nature of this storm
as it has dumped record levels of rainfall across southwest texas, our response to this hurricane has been very different than we have looked at before. the planning associated with it had to be different because of the nature of it. as you look at historic levels of rain, 40 to 50 inches localized in certain areas, and then sustain flooding over a period on multiple days or potentially weeks, as you talk response and recovery, our response is very sustained. become isolated and then they are in the of food, water, medical supplies or lift by boat or rotary wing back out of the area. hasplanning for this one been different. normally, we plan response for hours,st 72 hours, 96 the weather passes and we move into recovery mode. we will be doing lifesaving and life-sustaining efforts for much
longer period due to the nature of this storm. associated command and control structures as the department of defense looks at ramping up capability because the demand signal is not right there immediate and then draws off during the recovery phase, this will be a sustained demand signal for dod forces over time so not only the national guard, but the title x forces under the dual status commander, this will be a unity of effort over sustain period by the entire department of defense in support of civil authorities to ensure we continue to do all of those life-sustaining pieces again for periods of days if not weeks before we're into the recovery mode. the planning associated with that, we have sent a large team down to assist taxes in terms -- texas in terms of the national ability so texas is aware of postured onense has all sides and the additional
capabilities that come from surrounding states on the national guard side to be able to add to that. just to give you a round figure of numbers, we're looking at posturing just on the national guard side, in additional 20,000 to 30,000 additional soldiers and airmen that if requested could be brought in and those capabilities include engineering, high profile vehicles, additional rotary wing assets. but those will be to finish the response phase and start into the recovery phase. just like our first responders get tired and burned out, guardsman will also get tired and burned out as we do this. this has to be a phased approach and texas is planning for that approach not only with her organic national guard forces, but national guard forces that could be brought in from surrounding states through emergency compacts. i would like to end the size -- emphasize our response has been different than anything we have experienced before.
we expected to be much longer in terms of the response phase than what we would normally see during a hurricane just do to the nature of the storm dumping historic record amounts of rainfall in southeast texas and southwest louisiana. with that, i will deposit for questions. -- i will pause for questions. >> a question about the chain of command. you mentioned general hamilton. he reports to the governor? you mentioned he would have command of federal forces, that is the right term come in n to the national guard. are there are ready forces participating? >> there are. i will start with the last and go forward into the dual status commander brief explanation. united states northern command has postured well over 1000 active personnel in support of it and their associated
equipment. honestly, northern command as its first of the state of texas could employ as required. search-and-rescue. i'm sorry. northern command is focused primarily on airborne search and rescue. due to the nature of the storm because the weather restricted helicopter, not only boats, but high profile vehicles are used. that is where the northern command is in terms of it. let me talk about the dual status -- >> are they involved? >> some are pre-positioned, but our federal forces involved in the response no command, theus dual status commander has responsibility to report through two channels. they provide the unity of command and u to the of effort for the response and recovery
for all dod forces in support of civil authorities. he then -- he or she then has the responsibility to report on the federal side or title x side to u.s. northern command and on the national guard side, to the governor or the budget general, and this case, texas. there's a single dual status command per state is look others want to accord it the command in control of all dod forces support of civ authorities. the dual status commander also has what we call a title x deputy. the commander has an active duty soldier or airman that works directly for him or her that is also responsible primarily for the reporting on the federal side or the title x side of the house. yes, ma'am. >> could you go back over some of this? commandthis dual status that avid and the secretary agree to, does this down solve
the issue of do you have all the request from the governor for federal title x military assistance that you need -- i understand it goes through fema and then farmed out to whoever. but do you still need something from governor abbott in order to do more title x assistance? or do you have everything -- when did governor abbott say, "i want title x help"? make this as to simple as i possibly can. there's a joint field office combined with the federal coordinating officer who is the lead federal entity from the state court dating officer who represents the state of texas, in the me the fence cord knitting officer. that trio essentially is the demand signal. fromemand usually comes the state side. the state court dating officer
will look at shortfalls amongst the civilian capability to be able to respond to a disaster. once those shortfalls are identified, they normally look to dod for the response. usually inside the state, they look at their organic national guard first. once shortfalls further identified, the request for assistance thing comes into the defense cord knitting officer into the joint staff here in the pentagon for sourcing of not only active forces, but potentially army reserve or air force reserve forces. the entire weight of dod -- secretary mattis i think has been very clear that if it is required from the department of dense, it will be provided. the shorter answer to your question is, it depends on the governor and the state to ask for the assistance. so not only for national guard forces, but for title x or federal forces have to be identified, but normally there is some type of analysis done for where the civilian
authorities no longer have the capacity for the responsand recovery. >> right. i appreciate that. let's cut to the chase here. are you getting timely request from governor abbott? are you getting everything you need from the state in order to have a rapid, active-duty federal military response? is this going fast enough? you see people in the water now for days. >> absolutely. in many cases, -- >> is the governor giving you what you need? >> the governor asked for assistance. everything we believe, the analysis we have done, everything the governor has done in terms of asking for assistance, especially as you look at the weather impacts, when you look at search-and-rescue, we had our time putting up rotary wing assets in terms of the search-and-rescue. so whether a phased approach and then literally cilian authorities recognizing the
magnitude of the event in taxes and then asking for the assistance -- >> has a been recognized fast enough? >> that is debatable. i would say many cases,t has been. but any time you look at a historic record flooding that is occurring here, normally, the planng we do at state level in concert with the state would not have accounted for this magnitude. if you're looking at any event that only occurs every few hundred years, the planning that would have normally occurred for that probably was not here. in many cases, the request for assistance come and not only for the national guard but federal forces, may t have been anticipated quick enough. we are providing everything we can as quickly as the state asks for it, including precautionary ke i talked about. posturing, like i talked
about. they stop the duration of the response and recovery, generally -- the journal's own authority is posturing up to 20,000 to 30,000 additional soldiers and airmen that could be used if texas asks for them. >> you said 20000 and 30,000 guard reserve forces. quite i'm specifically referencing national guard. if there are shortfalls, they could be -- quite i wanted to ask that. yes identified he might need 20000 and 30,000 national guard forces over time for response and recovery. what have you identified in terms of active duty u.s. military involvement? what do you think the top number may be on active duty involvement? >> u.s. northern command is looking at -- without going into details, their categories -- they put all of the forces that
are readily available for the response and recovery and are prepared to deploy order. all of the category 2 and 3 forces in the planning effort have been put on a prepared to deploy orders so they are ready to go. when texas asks for them, they would be included in the overall department of defense response -- >> [indiscernible] >> i don't know that number off the top of my head. i know they are postured to go to 2000 er the next 24 to 48 hours, and that just personnel. they would obviously have associated equipment without. >> thank you. >> can you break down where the funding for all of this is coming from? do you have any estimates on how legit has caused so far? >> i don't have an estimate on the cost so far. most of the response, national guard response to date, has been in a state active duty status. costng the state bears the of the national guardsmen being called in to state active duty
post up so right now it is essentially a state bill. with the presidential declaration and the stafford act with that, there will be a fema reimbursement to the state, the employment -- for the deployment of the national guard dustup normally, fema will reimburse at a minimum of 7 75%. >> no sensyet on how much it has caused them how much it is going to cost? >> no. we can do a rough accounting in terms of personnel. when you're talking pay an allowance, we can run those number's relatively quickly. i don't have a rollup of that. these of the claimant is also reimbursed. there's a reimbursement factor that goes with it as well. >> there have been reports about how crowded the airspace has become given all of the sech and rescue aircraft currently there and many more that may come. can you talk about the effort underway to prevent that --
absolutely. there has been airspace control order, especially as the weather clears over the next 24 to 48 hours, potenal for rotary wing rescue or some type of informational awareness type platform, fixed wing platforms as sensors on them trying to do assessment of the damage or any other recovery efforts that need to take place. there issually inner space control order that we work through -- airspace control orr that we work to initially. but also the air force northern, headquartered at kendall air force base, especially in terms of the rescue coordination center and how we actually deacon flicked the airspace -- the conflict the airspa. we do not want -- we e to help the citizens of texas and potentially louisiana. we have to be up to break up the airspace so we're not actually,
whether it is deconflicte by geographyd or altitude, there's needs to be something in place. it will become more important as more helicopter assets coming to the joint operating area over the next couple of days. >> what about these of private drones, personally owned drones? >> on the behalf of dod, privat drones, as were using military assets to respond and recovery as an asset, theotential for drone impact is a big deal. as much as possible, if we could keep civilian drones out of the crowded skies that e already crowded with the response and recovery efforts, that would be helpful. those present a hazard for our crews operating helicopters in the region. >> can you give us an idea of the scope of the area you're
having to do search-and-rescue and how many homes you estimate still have residents that might need your assistance? >> i don't have an terms of square miles -- i don't have those numbers. i am sure texas is looking at that, including the number of households. obviously, it is easy to look at the houston metropolitan area and talk about the 6 million people or so in that area. but there are many other areas impacted by the wind as the shore originally came ashore with the gray jell-o devastation, then flooding across southeast texas. and in flooding and south louisiana the next 48 hours. it is hundreds of thousands of homes. ofust can't t a magnitude the square mileage of that. >> can you give your name? >> "military times." to go back to the currently 1000 mission, doing the sar
what other title x forces are on prepared to deploy status? of the ones in this first wave, how many total do you think are active and participating now? >> i do know northern command ha, through army north in san antonio, over 1000 personnel. that is all i have awareness of right now. i am just trying to help the national guard do eir response side of it. under the dual status commander, there needs to be unity of effort and command so everything u.s. northern command has postured for this response will be given to the bill status commander for them to clude in the overall effort. i hope that comes close to answering the question. i just don't have visibility on the total numbers of personnel and equipment tt have either ready been employed or are postured to be employed. obviously, the active component
has a great deal of capacity at fort would. there are other dod installations there. even our reserve partners have capabilities that could be used andresponse if the governor general needed or the dual status comnder. >> how does the active guard status now compared to the response to katrina? >> at the height of katrina, proximally 50,000 guardsmen and a little over 20,000 active component forces. i anticipate -- you hate to be predictive because this will depend on the magnitude of the storm. there will probably be a similar ratio. to make an assumption there will not be title x forces is an incorrect assumption. entire department of defense, including non-federalized national guard and active forces required doubt the citizens of south texas and southwest louisiana.
>> yesterday, the governor announced was going to call up the entire texas national guard. you were saying in calling up, what, 4000 -- >> 4000 in the next 24 ur governor abbott, as you look at available -- by the way, the texas national guard is about 19,000 soldiers and airmen. governor abbott specifically wanted to ensure, always the, the department of defense is engaged around the globe in terms of current operations. that includes the texas national guard. those forces that are federally deployed or have just returned from employment or getting ready to deploy our unavailable but forntially the governor sponse. those already deployed. if you look at those numbers, what governor abbott had available was approximately 12,000. the is the full weight that
general in texas has been authorized by the governor to bring on due to the nature of the storm, especially as they phase in capability, that uld build up to that 10,000 or 12,000 across the next few days. forces already in the fight may need to be replaced so i can't say there will be sunday out there sunday or monday next week texashere will be 10,000 guardsmen. some might already be replaced as they head into the recery. does that help with the numbers? >> there's a lot of capability, buildingle, for companies in the army reserve. can you call on those assets? basically, would be, the state of texas would look at shortfalls. they put a request for assistance in, which would come into the joint staff in the pentagon. .t would be validated so as the request came in, as the department ofdefense
sources capability to be able to respond, it could be army reserve or air force reserve or active forces. the joint -- in fact, sometimes it is a misnomer. you can put guardsmen on title x in terms of domestic response. the department of defense or the joint staff also has the choice to pick guard units to put on title x to answer the request for assistance. normally, since the texas guard is the one responding in this case, normally, the department of defense is not going to pick a texas guard unit because they know they are being used in a non-federalized capacity. i hope that comes close to answering it. 30,000 that may come from othertates, what other states are you talking about? >> normally, those are surrounding states. some has are ready come from as far as new york and california. trained airlly have national guard rescue units with guardian angel. it is really a weapon system. when you combine them with the
pair rcue personnel and the airplanes, it is a specific capability we knew we would need in this case due to the technical nature of the rescues. york,only resident in new california, and alaska. we use these seven teams to move thosehh60's into the operating areas because it is a capability that texas would specifically need because those para rcue men, we have the ability to provide additional life-saving or stabilization of patients as we do the movement -- which is a unique ability that resides in the department of defense. most do not have that type of capability. >> could i get clarification on the 300 helicopter rescues? are those all people? right after that you said 300 animals. >> normally, we would only hoist people.
i don't want to exclude the ability to be able to to waste pets them above my understanding at this point, those were all personnel hoist. the numbers are changing by the minute. and that is just the national guard. our partners at the coast guard, other dod entities -- so i'm only able to report the national guard piece. when you look at helicopter, rotary wing rescues, the number is much larger -- ok. >> from fox news. has there been any request for naval aspects, comfort or mercy? >> we understand the cure size quotebe en route -- don't me. naval assets are being looked at postured. it would take days for some of those naval assets to be able to
get there. i'm not an expert on naval assets. the department of defense i think specifically is lookingt posturing naval capability that could be used to >> what is the plan as we see these levees and dams start to break down and water overflowing? what is the plan to do with that as these lakes and rivers overflow? we believe this briefings to go live now to the u.s. house of representatives for a pro forma session. t speaknt e clthpeaker's rooms washiton, d.c. au9,0. hereby appoin the honorable prempoth dct speak si, paul rya speaker of e of prentes. thepe p mpore: t guest chaheeren alilasat wof e cap united methi uhwashingt, d.c.

Spearhead Studios Launches New Game 'Wilds of Wall Street II'
29 September 2020 by Dustin Jermalowicz
Casino game developer Spearhead Studios is taking players to downtown Manhattan with the launch of their newest video slot 'Wilds of Wall Street II'.
The game sees you playing as a Wolf of Wall Street, a stockbroker that likes to sniff other canine butts at the same time. The game includes all the excess of the 1980's and includes cars, jets, and helicopters. Features include wilds, free spins, and the ability to buy into the free spins bonus round. The free spins round has a closing bell feature that extends the round until all three bells sound to close the trading day. The slot is playable in destkop and mobile platforms and boasts a return to player percentage of 96.55%.
Commenting on the launch Spearhead Studios' Kevin Corti said, "Wilds of Wall Street was one of our top performers when it was released back in January 2020. Players loved the core expanding reel mechanics and the overall theme, and we felt that a sequel would be a great addition to our growing gaming portfolio.
"In Wilds of Wall Street II, we switched to a 'ways pays', rather than paylines, mechanics as it was a better fit with the core expanding reels gameplay feature. In addition, we wanted to make the free spins features much more accessible, exciting and volatile, hence we came with the idea of adding more and more wilds to the reels as the free spins progress, leading to an ever-higher potential for big wins."
Wilds of Wall Street II is available for play now at casinos that feature Spearhead's gaming library.

In general, installation is the act of installing something in a fixed, semi-fixed or temporary location. It can also refer to a complete unit which has been installed. In terms of construction, it often refers to machinery, plant, apparatus, etc., being placed in position or connected for use.
Most art installations are considered to be time-based media, or art with a duration. Examples of installation art include Étant Donnés by Marcel Duchamp, I Like America and America Likes Me by Joseph Beuys, The Dinner Party by Judy Chicago, and My Bed by Tracey Emin.
Installation Art is a broad term applied to a range of arts practice which involves the installation or configuration of objects in a space, where the totality of objects and space comprise the artwork. Installation Art is a mode of production and display of artwork rather than a movement or style.
Installation (or setup) of a computer program (including device drivers and plugins), is the act of making the program ready for execution. Installation refers to the particular configuration of a software or hardware with a view to making it usable with the computer.
Because an installation usually allows the viewer to enter and move around the configured space and/or interact with some of its elements, it offers the viewer a very different experience from (say) a traditional painting or sculpture which is normally seen from a single reference point.
Installation art is a term generally used to describe artwork located in three-dimensional interior space as the word "install" means putting something inside of something else.
What Is Installation Art? Typically characterized by three-dimensional (3D) objects, the art movement known as installation art includes everything from life-size sculptures made of recycled materials and room-sized displays to light and sound experiences inside an art gallery.
The definition of an installation is the act of putting something in, a device that stays in one place, a military base, or an art piece that often involves building and different types of materials. Getting your new air conditioner put in is an example of an installation.
Installation art is normally meant to create or narrate the story of the artist to the audience and it can either be temporary or permanent. In this kind of art, the emphasis is mostly put on the idea that the artist is trying to bring out rather than the murals he is using (Ibid 85).
Installation art came to prominence in the 1970s but its roots can be identified in earlier artists such as Marcel Duchamp and his use of the readymade and Kurt Schwitters' Merz art objects, rather than more traditional craft based sculpture.
Installation artists are typically given an artist fee for creating a temporary installation. The fee can be set by you or the museum. Find other ways that museums can help an artist's career and hear what a curator has to say about the business of museums.
There are four approaches of installation; direct, parallel, single-location and phased installation.
Installation can be categorized into two broad categories: physical and virtual. Physical installation pertains to installing physical equipment such as computer hard drives, cables, modems and so on, while virtual installation refers to installation of software.
Answer: Software installation (or setup) of a computer program (including device drivers and plugins), is the act of making the program ready for execution.
To install an eligible installation means to build and/or put in place the relevant plant. To 'commission' a plant means to carry out all necessary tests and procedures required by industry standards to show that the plant is able to deliver heat for the purpose for which it was installed.
Site installation essentially comprises the physical installation (or construction) of the power network equipment and associated infrastructure, on site. It also involves the establishment of the site facilities, and the site management arrangements.
Installation, Testing and Commissioning Report means the report to be issued by an independent third party nominated by the Employer for verifying the satisfactory execution of supply, installation, commissioning and training for AC Testing Laboratory.
What is an Interactive Installation? An interactive installation is an exciting way to activate a physical space through technology, sound and light that responds to you. They consequently turn people from passive audiences to engaged active participators.
Which of the following would be considered installation art? hanging a series of drapes in a park in a specific pattern for a short time. The building that typifies the classical Greek world's concern for mathematics and artistic order is the: Parthenon.

This adder is fab! I bought it for a story about Adam and Eve for the children and it's so well made and perfect size for little hands, not too big but not small either.
Perfect for The Gruffalo in role play and displays.


One thing that was really hard for me when I was in academia is how lonely it felt to be working on something that nobody cared about. I was seeing all of these beautiful things and I couldn't share them with anyone.
Sometimes I want to go back and do mathematics "for real" but then I feel sad when I think I won't be able to share it with anyone.
@JordiGH Exposure to people will cure you of that. I prescribe 23ccs of 5% internet solution, applied topically twice a day.
@ersatzmaus Amazingly, all of the people in the world are just making me want more of them. I love people and I love being around people.
It's why I'm on Masto, after all. I want to talk to other people.
@JordiGH Well that's just perverse.
@JordiGH Yeah, it's definitely the suckiest part for me, too. I'd have dropped out long ago if it weren't for the fact that my school hosts a dynamics conference every spring and a nearby school hosts a dynamics conference every fall (with funding for grad students). So I'm basically guaranteed two long weekends/year where I can geek out with a bunch of my peers.
@jennytrustad I think I've said it before, but it's kind of helpful for me that I know just enough mathematics to sort of make out what most mathematicians are talking about. I really enjoy asking them to explain their work and see their faces light up as they try to dumb it down for me. I also enjoy when you explain stuff for me, so that's why I sometimes try to ask.

2016 Cheltenham Festival: Who should Ruby Walsh ride in Champion Hurdle?
David Metcalf | 20.02.2016
David Metcalf | February 18, 2016
Following the news that red-hot favourite and 2015 winner Faugheen has been ruled out of next month's Champion Hurdle, Coral take a look at the tough choice facing jockey Ruby Walsh over who to partner in the 2m showpiece on the opening day of the Cheltenham Festival on Tuesday, March 15th.
Walsh's boss and champion Irish trainer Willie Mullins still holds a strong hand in the race and has the front three in the betting, but which one has the best credentials to land the spoils? Here are our expert's thoughts on the trio of candidates
Current Champion Hurdle odds: 7/2 second-favourite.
This really classy seven-year-old has won four of his 17 starts over hurdles and been placed on nine occasions.
Arctic Fire, a 164-rated gelding, posted a series of top class efforts last season, including when runner-up to Hurricane Fly in the Irish Champion Hurdle and occupying the same spot behind stablemate Faugheen in the English equivalent at the Cheltenham Festival.
Beaten just 1 1/2 lengths in the latter, Arctic Fire was closing all the way to the line in a race which wasn't run to suit.
Faugheen was allowed to dominate in a slow run affair, and Arctic Fire is best when coming off a strong gallop.
In the circumstances it was a cracking effort, and Arctic Fire looked as good as ever in winning his first two starts this season.
Although then well beaten when just fourth of five to Prince Of Scars at Leopardstown, that race was over 3m and Arctic Fire clearly didn't stay, preferring a shorter trip.
Arctic Fire has since chased home Faugheen in the Irish Champion Hurdle at the same venue and, although no match for the easy 15-length winner, it was a solid run.
Annie Power
Current Champion Hurdle odds: 7/4 favourite.
This classy mare has won 10 of her 12 starts over hurdles, including two Grade 1 contests.
Eight-year-old Annie Power carries the colours of Rich Ricci, who also owns Faugheen, and is officially rated 162.
While Annie Power is clearly a very good mare, her two defeats over hurdles have come at the Cheltenham Festival.
She was beaten 1 1/2 lengths into second behind More Of That in the 2014 running of the World Hurdle, and was four lengths clear and travelling strongly when falling at the final flight in last year's Mares' Hurdle when having the race at her mercy.
Annie Power is more of a stayer than a speed horse, and it's easy to pick holes in her form compared to some of the established two-mile hurdlers.
Following Faugheen's withdrawal due to injury, Annie Power became favourite for the Champion Hurdle after overcoming a lengthy absence to make a winning return to action in a minor contest at Punchestown. She coasted to a facile success over two vastly inferior rivals.
Just minutes before that race, which was effectively a schooling session, the news broke about Faugheen's injury, so Annie Power may now market leader by default and, on closer inspection, doesn't have the form in the book to justify that position.
Nichols Canyon
Current Champion Hurdle odds: 5/1.
A winner of seven of his 10 starts, including six Grade 1s, 160-rated six-year-old Nichols Canyon inflicted a first-ever defeat on the mighty Faugheen when making a winning return to action in the Morgiana Hurdle at Punchestown.
Nichols Canyon made all and, despite making a mistake at the last, stayed on strongly to assert on the run-in to score by 1/2 a length.
The gelding went on to beat the upwardly mobile Identity Thief in the Grade 1 Ryanair Hurdle at Leopardstown, looking beat approaching the final flight before rallying strongly to win going away by two lengths.
A below par run when beaten 28 lengths into third behind Faugheen in the Irish Champion Hurdle followed, but Nichols Canyon wasn't ridden from the front that day and may have found the race coming too quick following his gruelling success in the Ryanair.
Nichols Canyon clearly needs to bounce back from that defeat, but if doing so has the form in the book to be a big player in the Champion Hurdle.
Conclusion: Whilst many will think Annie Power will be an automatic choice for Walsh if she is supplemented as expected, but her form is not strong at 2m and she looks more a stayer than a speed horse.
Nichols Canyon has plenty to prove after his last run, but Arctic Fire has by far the strongest form in the book. On his run in last year's Champion Hurdle, he would be our recommended choice for Ruby to ride.

Q: How to get the eventClick data to look the way I what it to I am using the simplest data for eventClick I could find and I barely understand it.
Below is the output I have from this. I have a few questions.

*

*How can I make these items show on different lines?

*Can I add more fields because this seams to be the limet?

*Is there any way to pass a link so I can pull in the results from database?

*How do I use jQuery UI Dialog instead of the default popup?

*How do change the font size and color?
Sorry I have so many questions but after going over the docs and reading all the stackoverflow stuff about this topic I am more confused than ever.

This is what my script prints out

Event: Richard Kurth  Thu Mar 06 2014 18:55:00 GMT-0800 (Pacific
  Standard Time)  Thu Mar 06 2014 19:55:00 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard
  Time)  7504 NE 110th St  Vancouver

<script type='text/javascript'>
$(document).ready(function() {
     $('#calendar').fullCalendar({
        header: {
                left: 'prev,next today',
                center: 'title',
                right: 'month,agendaWeek,agendaDay'
            },
             eventClick: function(calEvent, jsEvent, view) {
        alert('Event: ' + calEvent.title + '  ' + calEvent.start + '  ' + calEvent.end + '  ' + calEvent.address1 + '  ' + calEvent.city);
            },

         events: "json_events.php",

         loading: function(bool) {
            if (bool) $('#loading').show();
            else $('#loading').hide();
         }

      });

   });

</script>

A: *

*Use \n to put a newline. For instance : calEvent.title + '\n' + calEvent.start.

*The limit where ? In your alert(); ? You don't have limit.

*To get the result from your database you should see the documentation of fullCalendar. Also you have many example as this one. You should use events to specify where to search data : events: "your_request.php" where the php file return a Json (feed by the database).

To respect meta, some clue :
events.php
<?php
 // ... Your sql query ...

 // Your sql result to Json
 echo json_encode($result);
?>

fullCalendar.js
$(document).ready(function() {
   // ...

   var calendar = $('#calendar').fullCalendar({
    editable: true,
    header: {
       //...
    },
    // Find events from database
    events: "http://localhost:8888/fullcalendar/events.php",

    //...

    // Add event when clicking on a field open dialog with Jquery UI dialog
    select: function(start, end, allDay) {
      $( "#dialog-form" ).dialog({
          buttons: {
            "Add": function() {
              $.ajax({
                url: 'http://localhost:8888/fullcalendar/add_events.php', // Add request
                data: { data },
                type: "POST",
                dataType: "json",
                 success: function(json) {
                   // retrieve json here
                   // see for refetchEvent() of fullCalendar (feed the calendar with new values)
                   $( this ).dialog( "close" );
             }
        },
      "Cancel": function() {
          $( this ).dialog( "close" );
      }
  return;
  });
 });
}

For the other steps you have all what you want on the documentation (fullCalendar and jQuery UI). You have everything to continue by yourself, but I stay available if you have some specific problems/questions.

Fran McMillan, a thirty-something chisel-wielding woman, is camped at Mount Clear in Namadgi National Park, escaping the heat of a Queensland summer, when she encounters Kelvin, one of a group of men from Canberra restoring a high-country hut.
She inveigles her way into the work party — a weekend that changes her life. As Fran works on the hut, she hears the fragmented story of the pioneering Thompson family who came to live in the harsh Snow Belt in 1909, and of Yenohan, an Aboriginal girl who befriended their daughter, Eleanor. Love also pays Fran a brief visit during the weekend when she follows Kelvin into the wilderness.
Fran returns to Queensland and resumes furniture making until a disaster calls her back south: it is January 2003, and wildfires are racing through the Alps, ravaging the national park, destroying lovingly-restored huts in their path and altering the nature of the Australian High Country forever. In Queensland, Fran watches television reports in disbelief as a firestorm engulfs the outer suburbs of Canberra, consuming 500 homes and four people.
For three days, she tries to contact Kelvin. On the fourth she throws her backpack into her car and drives south to Canberra to face the truth — and Kelvin's wife and family.
Whilst in Canberra Fran visits Tilly Anderson (a descendant of the Thompson family) and the final pieces of the puzzle surrounding the relationship between the family and Yenohan fall into place.
Dale Lorna Jacobsen is a freelance writer who has the good fortune to live in the bush just outside Maleny in the Hinterland of the Sunshine Coast.

Blizzard, you called HotS your "love letter" so I want to write one too
On Dec 15, 2018 1:59 am, by Gamer
I want to start with a small history about where my experience with Blizzard started. Like many of you, my first RTS was Warcraft 2. They say an author's love for their work springs from the page. I believe this is the reason why Blizzard captured my heart from a young age. The love they showed through their work. Starcraft taught me a video game could have a compelling story. I don't remember much of high school, but I remember every instance, raid boss and quest from WoW. I've put thousands of hours into your games. So much of my life would be blank space if it weren't for your games.
Ultimately as I've grown older and the video game industry has changed I've grown more and more skeptical. I had a falling out with you due to DRM. I boycotted your games. It's laughable but it's true. This is when I first started not to recognize you as a company. But maybe that's the nature of the beast. Times change.
HotS wasn't my first MOBA. League was. But HotS came out at the perfect time. I was tired of League and a close friend of mine kept telling me I had to try HotS. I'll be honest with you: my first impression wasn't the best one. The game was rough from the start. But ironically this was the first time I felt and saw that Blizzard passion again. The HotS devs have truly squeezed every ounce of potential they could from this game. They have overcome every hurdle whether it be the perception of some jaded MOBA folks, budget issues, the fact that HotS is essentially a reskinned SC2. They did it all and I sincerely thank them for this experience.
Due to what I felt was a mutual understanding from them and my small community of friends I invested myself so heavily into HotS. I was at Blizzcon when Phill Gonzales confirmed to me in a cheeky sort of way that Zul'jin was on his way. I've written articles for Heroes of the Storm. I got to relive the glory days of all my favorite heroes through this game. It was a dream come true and I find it so difficult to walk away. And I'm a nothing compared to the casters, the pros, and your own HotS team. There's a reason people are breaking down due to your announcement.
Read: PTR Undocumented Changes
If you're involved in the business side of the company you must see it as a temper tantrum. But I was there the day MVP Black went against Fnatic and I have never felt such fire from a room. Everyone involved in this community poured their hearts into this game. Maybe you're saying to yourself "we tried, but HotS never stood a chance. We had no choice." But what I wish you realized is, everyone here had a choice and they bet on you. Many pros would have been better off devoting their lives to something else. Not because of the money they could have made, but because they may have been better appreciated. You said these choices are also difficult but what you fail to realize is some people had already made their choice and they bet their careers on you. Not everyone gets to walk away.
This wasn't done in good faith. It's a business and that's what you'll tell me. It's true of the Konami's, the Capcom's and the EAs of the world but there was once a company who believed so strongly in quality they only released half the projects they made. I wish you understood why your legacy mattered. Why the Diablo fans boo. Why WoW fans stick it through a bad expansion and why the HotS community feels betrayed.
I will never forget the experiences I've had playing this game. And to anyone who wishes to continue, who holds onto hope, I want the best for you. But in the words of Jaina – your own words Blizzard – "I'm sorry. I can't watch you do this."
I love Blizzard Support
I bought OW in presale. I was young and dumb, i didn't have phone identification or Battle Authenticator. I was having fun playing and I still do. I think OW is one of the best games ever. I had to stop playing for about 2 months because of school. When I tried to login to…
Dear Blizzard and Diablo Team, I know this post is one amongst millions so I don't expect this to actually reach it's intended recipients, but at least getting this out there may further the discussion at large. To preface this feedback, I need to make it known that I've been a lifelong Blizzard fan and…
If HotS goes, I go.
If you're not quitting HotS already right now, I'm sure all of you feel the same. I've been playing Blizzard games for years and I joined them with WoW Cataclysm. I thought WoW would be my lifelong favourite game until I tried HotS and it became my favourite video game of all time and it…

ARTISTS' JEWELLERY
CIPANGO JEWELS
I – Conversation about … painting – Christophe Tissot & Bernadette Costa-Prades
11 December 2017 6 July 2018 Leave a comment
Interviews with Christophe Tissot
and the writer and journalist Bernadette Costa-Prades
I – Conversation about … painting
Painting, a sign language
The painter should not talk, bequeathing just his painting. Once he starts talking, he gives away something of his function, which is to let other people appreciate his picture, or not, as the case may be. It seems to me that to say too much about the work confines and shrivels its potential, as if stuffing it (like a taxidermist). I am suspicious of the artist who stipulates that such and such a message must be seen in his painting, and nothing else. So what can I say about my own painting ? I prefer being a polyglot. In that way, words never totally hem it in.
There's nothing to be seen in it
Daniel Arasse puts his finger on a basic fact : we see nothing, we are in absolute darkness, we only see the image that our brain has seen fit to re-create, behind our eyes in a way. What is more, our brain can only decipher a minute part of the vibratory field. Between infra-reds and ultra-violets, there are worlds that are invisible to our eye, which should have the effect of making us modest… Thanks to art and poetry, however, we try to broaden our spectrum of vision and understanding.
Letting people imagine
Forty years later, I can still recall the words of one of my teachers: "If you have a floor cloth, don't throw it in my face." Herein lies one of the painter's basic questions : does he toss at visitors a canvas that will really impress them, in every sense of the word, or will he let people imagine ? What part does he give to the message ? If he is just in the mode of pure intentionality, he will produce a propaganda picture. Art has too often been used to deliver slogans. There is another way of attracting the customer by whispering to him : Come and have a look, come and see how pretty my image is… Starting from there, art finds itself re-incorporated in a commercial market circuit. For me, one of the really useful things about art is what I call the exhaust, that invisible part which, over time, gradually broadens our way of seeing things, and acts as a developer (in the photographic sense). From the Chauvet Cave to the present day, we should do our best, in the face of that beautiful legacy from the past, to modestly add our own stone. And avoid toppling into the orgy of the art market, which has warped everything, giving exorbitant sums of money to works which are not basically useful. Not all works, of course, but, where some are concerned, we are entitled to wonder what they really contribute to widening our vision.
The excesses of Conceptual Art
The ubiquity of Conceptual Art attests to the ubiquity of a form of thinking. Our culture of output turns its back on sensibility and imagination. It has created an invisible, subtle production line, which keeps us in a state of ignorance, passiveness and obedience. From my angle, a certain kind of Conceptual Art is not liberating, and Conceptual works do not make us dream.
The age of disillusionment
In this age I see the consequences of the First World War, and its traumas rarely or never talked about. History books invariably serve one and the same argument—heroes, the field of honour… People are forever doctoring the facts, generation after generation, while all that butchery has had serious consequences for art, involving a form of nihilism, in particular the idea that beauty does not exist.
Conceptual Art has underpinned that shock wave, that trauma, and come up with the idea that we look at terror. There has been a totalitarian trend among certain Conceptual artists, for whom the keyword was transgression, becoming something akin to a religion. The mere fact of uttering a criticism made you guilty of having a bourgeois vision of art, and painting was suddenly declared decadent, and anti-revolutionary…
Towards a new movement
My answer to that tendency ? Carrying on my work, existing come what may, and hoping that I am not alone. When an artist offers an authentic work, that work encounters its public. Conceptual artists won't stop this movement. Under my belt I've got thirty years of reading, reflection, painting, and resistance, and it seems to me that there are more and more of us today who are keen to shift to another phase.
Bernadette Costa Prades is a writer and journalist. She has published two biographies of Frida Kahlo and Niki de Saint Phalle with Libretto, and the biography of Tina Modotti, with Editions Philippe Rey. In her books she enjoys shedding light on the creative process, and the sensitive and poetic approach of artists, who often find their source in their childhood. Her interviews with the painter Christophe Tissot follow this same path.

Preserved by Purpose: The Truth of the Light We Carry
by editorial December 5, 2022 January 11, 2023
Photo credit: Shewanda Riley
By Shewanda Riley
Comments like "I know that's right" echoed throughout the Fox Theater in Atlanta the first weekend of December as the sold-out audience responded to the insightful statement "Fear keeps you safe, but it also keeps you stuck" made by forever First Lady Michelle Obama as part of her tour for her book The Light We Carry. Laughter and affirmation filled the theater as Obama offered insights about love and life as she enthralled a sold-out audience in a conversation that was moderated by entertainment mogul Tyler Perry.
Keeping with the honesty that she offered in her first memoir Becoming, Obama shared even more insights from her latest book on many topics including how she's adjusted to life after The White House. Part of that adjustment was dealing with uncertainty as a result the Covid-19 pandemic worldwide shutdown. In discussing the effects of the pandemic, Obama admitted that like so many others, she suffered from low grade depression which made her reevaluate areas of her life. When asked by Perry what she thought the root cause was of the depression, she indicated that it was due in part to the realization that despite how hard she tried to do well as First Lady, for some it would never be enough. "You think that you showing up right will matter. For some it never will," she explained. Those lingering thoughts as well as the pandemic shutdown made her question many things.
For example, the isolation made her reflect on her responses to fear. As pictures of her as a child were projected to the audience, Obama shared how her mother made her walk to elementary school by herself when she was five years old. "Is she crazy?" was what she first thought when her mother told her that. Moreover, she recalled being afraid and feeling uncomfortable. However, she had to face those feelings and she acknowledged that confronting those feelings became a familiar way of life for her. When her father's Multiple Sclerosis became progressively worse, she had to deal with similar feelings. Even more so, when those feelings resurfaced during the pandemic, she realized one important thing: having dealt with those feelings as a young child gave her the skills to successfully deal with the uncertainty of her father's health and could help her in dealing with emotional swings caused by the pandemic. In describing that period of her life, she explained that despite the sometimes-uncomfortable feelings, uncertainty 'was the rocket fuel that can keep you going despite challenges." Most significantly, she added that she learned not to crumble when difficulties happened.
As the attendees streamed out of the auditorium when some were overheard expressing joy in hearing Obama boldly share her truth. Even though First Lady Obama didn't quote chapter and verse of scripture as part of her presentation, she exemplified the powerful biblical wisdom of the truth setting you free. Sharing these truths about her life illustrates John 8:32 "You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."
Freedom comes in both sharing and hearing truth.
