    You won’t believe this! It’s truly unbelievable that a truck, hauling a mobile home, made it across a makeshift bridge of hay bales, tires, logs and plywood, but he does! https://www.facebook.com/GoRECON/posts/10158300558708792

  • Wisconsin "WOW" counties report: Republicans turning out higher percentage of new/infrequent voters.

    Some very good news: In the heavily red "WOW" counties in Wisconsin, roughly 30% of the early voters are either "new" voters or "infrequent" voters, compared to roughly 25% of the voters in Dane County and Milwaukee. Significance? The WOW counties surround Milwaukee and fueled the surge of Scott Walker and the Wisconsin Republican machine for almost two decades. Trump lost ground in these suburban counties in 2016, but the early numbers appear to show strong Republican-leaning turnout. By contrast, Dane Co. is the home of the U. of Wisconsin (Madison), a huge, liberal school. Milwaukee obviously has Marquette U....

    http://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3892701/posts This weekend I posted (see link above) impressive turnout numbers for Republicans in the "WOW" counties surrounding Milwaukee. With about 20% of their 2016 turnout already in, Republican and Republican-leaning voters are early voting in substantial numbers. A deeper dive into the numbers reveals a somewhat surprising statistic: Women comprise a disproportionate share of these "modeled" Republican voters in the WOW counties. Roughly 659K early votes have been cast in Wisconsin and, according to Democrat-firm TargetSmart, the female/male breakdown is 55% (f) vs. 41% (m), with 4% of unknown gender. In the WOW counties, we see the exact same...

    The Wisconsin "WOW" counties are Washington, Ozaukee, and Waukesha Counties, which surround Milwaukee. Trump's numbers in these "red" counties were softer in 2016 than Republican candidates typically get. Wisconsin voters do not "register" by party, but TargetSmart, a Democrat firm, "models" (see explanation below) each registered voter as a Democrat, Republican, or unknown. 2016 Trump/Clinton Numbers: Washington Co.: 77,000 votes cast, Trump 67%, Clinton 27%, and Johnson/Stein 6% Ozaukee Co.: 55,000 votes cast, Trump 56%, Clinton 37%, and Johnson/Stein 7% Waukesha Co: 237,000 votes cast, Trump 60%, Clinton 33%, Johnson/Stein 7% Early voting estimates: Washington Co: 12,000 early votes cast,...

  • Krakatoa Volcano (Indonesia): Violent Eruption, Ash To 47,000 Ft Altitude (Breaking News)

    04/10/2020 4:12:15 PM PDT · by blam · 173 replies
    A large magmatic eruption is taking place at the volcano right now. Based on satellite imagery, VAAC Darwin spotted a high-level ash and SO2 plume reaching 47,000 ft (15 km) altitude moving WNW. A strong thermal hot spot is detected as well. Both the webcam on Anak Krakatau Island and from the coast (in 40 km distance) show strong lava fountaining from the volcano. This seems to be the strongest eruptive phase since the violent phreatomagmatic activity following the partial collapse of the volcano on 22 Dec 2018, which had triggered a deadly tsunami that killed hundreds of people on...

    Ian O’Reilly was walking with his wife and three kids on a trail near Judes Pond in Kensington around 11 a.m. when the wild animal jumped out of the woods and grabbed the 2-year-old child by the jacket, cops said. That’s when “the dad went into protection mode,” kicking the coyote before choking it, said Kensington Police Chief Scott Cain. The dad was bitten in the arm and chest and is being treated for rabies as a precaution. The animal didn’t break the toddler’s skin thanks to his heavy-duty snowsuit.

    ndianapolis Motor Speedway and the IndyCar Series were sold to Penske Entertainment Corp. in a stunning move Monday that relinquishes control of the iconic speedway from the Hulman family after 74 years. Tony Hulman bought the dilapidated speedway in 1945 and brought racing back to the corner of 16th St. and Georgetown Ave. after a four-year absence following World War II. Roger Penske will become just the fourth owner of the 110-year-old speedway. The speedway spun off multiple subsidiaries, including the IndyCar Series and Indianapolis Motor Speedway Productions, which are also part of the deal to Penske Entertainment. That group...

    Ever since the Bugatti Chiron was launched, with a 261-mph speed limiter, we've been desperate to know what it could manage if let off the leash. Now Bugatti has done that at the vast Ehra-Lessien test track in Germany; the car smashed both the production-car record and the 300-mph barrier. Factory test driver Andy Wallace, who previously set production-car records in both the Jaguar XJ220 and the McLaren F1, drove a slightly modified Chiron to a time, certified by the German TÜV organization, of 304.773 mph. The Chiron used was in what is described by Bugatti as "near production" spec,...

    It takes 1 trillion times the age of the universe for a xenon-124 sample to shrink by half For the first time, researchers have directly observed an exotic type of radioactive decay called two-neutrino double electron capture.The decay, seen in xenon-124 atoms, happens so sparingly that it would take 18 sextillion years (18 followed by 21 zeros) for a sample of xenon-124 to shrink by half, making the decay extremely difficult to detect. The long-anticipated observation of two-neutrino double electron capture, reported in the April 25 Nature, lays the groundwork for researchers to glimpse a yet unseen, even rarer version...

    Reykjavik, Iceland -- Icelandic budget airline WOW Air ceased operations on Thursday, stranding passengers across two continents. In a statement on its website the airline, which had earlier suspended all its flights, told passengers there would be no further flights and advised them to check flights with other airlines for ways to reach their destinations. WOW grounded at least six planes in North America that were set to leave late Wednesday from Montreal, Toronto, Boston, Detroit, New York and Baltimore.

(AEBi), which was founded in 2000 in the ITEK incubator in the Weizmann Science Park. AEBi developed the SoAP platform, which provides functional leads to very difficult targets.
