The Broadway Centre, the home of Sandown Town Council. VOTES were so close for a seat on Sandown Town Council it was determined by drawing a name out of a box. Six seats were available for the South Ward of the Sandown Town Council but eight candidates were fighting for a place. The sixth and seventh placed candidates, Emily Brothers and Pauline Evans, were tied on 200 votes apiece, so lots were drawn to ultimately decide who would get the seat. Ms Brothers got the luck of the draw and a place on the town council. Claire Shand, returning officer for the Isle of Wight Council, said after speaking to the count supervisor she was confident the numbers were correct and that left them in a position where lots had to be drawn.
Town council seat decided on the ‘luck of the draw’
Two candidates had to rely on the ‘luck of the draw’ after gaining the same number of votes in last week’s election
During Saturday’s Isle of Wight election count votes were so close for a seat on Sandown Town Council it was determined by drawing a name out of a box.
Six seats were available for the South Ward of the Sandown Town Council but eight candidates were fighting for a place.
200 votes apiece
The sixth and seventh placed candidates, Emily Brothers and Pauline Evans, were tied on 200 votes apiece, so lots were drawn to ultimately decide who would get the seat.

Breakthrough greatly enhances the ultrafast resolution achievable with X-ray free-electron lasers.
A large international team of scientists from various research organizations, including the U.S. Department of Energy s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory, has developed a method that dramatically improves the already ultrafast time resolution achievable with X-ray free-electron lasers (XFELs). It could lead to breakthroughs on how to design new materials and more efficient chemical processes.

An international consortium of scientists, initiated by Reinhard Kienberger, Professor of Laser and X-ray Physics at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), several years ago, has made significant measurements in the femtosecond range at the U.S. Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC).
However, on these miniscule timescales, it is extremely difficult to synchronize the X-ray pulse that sparks a reaction in the sample on the one hand and the laser pulse which observes it on the other. This problem is called timing jitter, and it is a major hurdle in ongoing efforts to perform time-resolved experiments at XFELs with ever-shorter resolution.
