FSLAA delay tipped as crisis swamps regulators
Rob Everett: FMA chief
The government is expected to push out the start date for the Financial Services Legislation Amendment Act (FSLAA) regime as part of a broad-sweeping regulatory relief program.
Industry sources have flagged a likely delay for the new financial advisory regulatory era, originally due to enter a two-year transitional period on June 29.
While yet-to-be-confirmed, such a move would free up regulatory headspace for an under-the-pump Financial Markets Authority (FMA) as well as handing advisers extra time to prepare for the legislative shake-up.
But financial regulators have already introduced a slew of relief measures over the last week or so as the Reserve Bank of NZ (RBNZ), FMA and the NZX go on the defensive.
Last Thursday the FMA confirmed it would postpone a planned liquidity test of regulated fund managers "to ensure they can continue to focus on the issues at hand". The liquidity stress-test had been slated by the FMA after the shuttering of funds managed by UK 'star' investor, Neil Woodford last year.
Furthermore, the regulator issued a reminder of its KiwiSaver guidance note to clarify when providers can offer advice to members. KiwiSaver schemes have been swamped with members switching from growth-oriented to conservative portfolios as panic sets in.
The FMA and NZX also extended end-of-financial-year reporting duties by up to two months for listed firms and entities governed by the Financial Markets Conduct Act (FMC). Most funds and listed companies must file audited financials within two or three months of reporting dates (typically March 31).
In a release, the FMA says it "was also considering deferral or reduction of other monitoring activity such as audit quality reviews for audit firms, NZX's Obligations Review and other planned proactive and thematic monitoring activity and information gathering".
Meanwhile, the NZX has eased capital-raising restrictions that will allow listed companies to raise up to 25 per cent of market capital via placements without shareholder approval until October 31 this year.
Under current settings, NZX firms face a 15 per cent cap for equity placements issued without shareholder consent.
Given the coronavirus-driven market dislocation, the NZX says it "seeks to ensure that Issuers are able to access sufficient equity capital urgently should the need arise, in addition to any existing debt facilities".
In addition to cutting interest rates to the now near-zero global standard and cueing up 'unconventional' monetary weapons, the RBNZ has also stopped most of its regulatory work program for the next six months including the introduction of tough new bank capital standards.
According to a RBNZ release, the NZ central bank has put a hold on the following regulatory initiatives for "an initial period of six months":
Review of the bank liquidity thematic review (and subsequent review of the liquidity policy (BS13);
Review of the Insurance (Prudential Supervision) Act 2010;
Standard terms for Residential Mortgage Obligations;
Cyber resilience guidelines for all regulated entities;
Revisions to banks' disclosure of regulatory breaches;
Review of the stress-testing framework and planned bank stress-tests;
Revising the process for approving banks' internal capital adequacy models for credit risk; and,
Future of cash – standards for banknote-processing machines.
Similarly, across the Tasman the Reserve Bank of Australia and fellow financial regulators – the Australian Prudential Regulatory Authority (APRA) and the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) – have relaxed certain rules.
The Australian Council of Financial Regulators – a group incorporating the three main agencies plus Treasury – said in a statement that APRA and ASIC would "where warranted, provide relief or waivers from regulatory requirements.
"This includes requirements on listed companies associated with secondary capital raisings, annual general meetings and audits," the statement says.
In fact, regulators across the world are scrambling to accommodate markets as the health crisis morphs into an economic and financial emergency.
The US Federal Reserve, for instance, has moved to prop up 'money market funds' – akin to cash funds in Australasia – with a 'liquidity facility' that will accept a range of assets "including unsecured and secured commercial paper, agency securities, and Treasury securities".
"Money market funds are common investment tools for families, businesses, and a range of companies," the Fed statement says. "The MMLF will assist money market funds in meeting demands for redemptions by households and other investors, enhancing overall market functioning and credit provision to the broader economy."
But the country-by-country regulatory approach to crisis management may not be enough, the Institute of International Finance (IIF) warned last week.
"No one country or region can overcome this challenge alone," the IIF says. "We live in an integrated global system and anything short of a global, integrated approach will prove unsuccessful."
The IIF, which represents the interest of 450 members (mainly banks) in 70 jurisdictions, says "it is essential that potential decisions regarding interpretation, adjustments, and tailoring of regulations be properly coordinated, leveraging the work of global standard setters such as the Financial Stability Board, the Basel Committee, IOSCO and the IAIS".
"Such measures refer to essential elements of the global capital and liquidity framework for banks such as capital and liquidity buffers and the treatment of provisions, just to name a few," the IIF release says. "Coordinated action would ensure not only greater effectiveness of measures that ultimately apply to global markets, but also a level playing field by minimizing competitive distortions."
Regulators may be listening: for example, late on Friday multiple central banks, including the RBNZ and RBA, signed a US dollar swap agreement with the Fed.
The FMA says it would maintain an "intense focus on its dialogue with regulated firms" as market disruption rolls on.
"… we emphasise that we want to hear from the industry about any challenges they have and about any areas where the FMA can assist them," Rob Everett, FMA chief, said in the release.
Delaying FSLAA could well be the next move but the long list of impending reforms such as the Financial Markets (Conduct of Institutions) Amendment (COFI) bill, insurance legislation and mooted changes to default KiwiSaver settings may be on the line.
A government spokesperson said "there may have been some discussion at a very preliminary level" on further regulatory postponements.
However, last week the Finance and Expenditure Committee denied a request by a financial adviser lobby group to extend the COFI submission deadline, which ticks over on March 26.

One of the common ways to resist insect attacks in crops is the cultivation of Bt crops. A study suggested an alternative strategy using RNA interference (RNAi) to counter Colorado potato beetle (CPB) attack in potato plants. The results are published in Transgenic Research.
Scientists from Nigde Omer Halisdemir University in Turkey conducted a study to silence the highly specific molting-associated Ecdysone receptor (EcR) gene of CPB using RNAi. The potato plants (Agria and Lady Olympia cultivars) were transformed with EcR gene of CPB through Agrobacterium tumefaciens transformation. The transgenic plants were assessed for efficacy against CPB larvae. Results showed 15-80% CPB mortality. Furthermore, CPB larvae exposed to transgenic potato plants exhibited lower EcR transcripts, implying the functionality of dsRNA EcRin silencing EcR gene expression.
Based on the findings, the method used is an effective and reliable strategy to cope with potato insect pests.

Probably the ones that have no legendary affix..
Indeed. Earlier I was comparing Squirts Necklace with a rare and it was almost exact. Sad.
The players demanded the removal of Life steal in D3? What the !@#$ is wrong with this world?
I just remember that the devs who made D1, D2 & LoD are not the same as the ones who made D3 & RoS. Different mindsets.
People need to stop posting stuff like this. If you do some digging around before posting you would run across a YouTube video of them saying just that, "We are working on making legendaries more legendary by giving them their own special affixes" think it was Blizzcon 2014? correct me if i'm wrong.
B: Ok, lets give them orange gears then, but make sure 99% of them is not more useful than a white.
Game is dumbed down via Royal ring + OP set bonuses + the one and only weapon synergizing with these sets.
It's not the first time they've tried to fix up legendary itemization.
Around launch, I can remember Blizzard stating that legendaries were basically rares with flavor text and that was "by design".
Patch 1.4 was their second attempt to fix this. They made tuning passes, added unique effects and other stuff such that it led players to believe legendaries were to be all powerful and worth the time. Doesn't turn out that way, not even close. Only a handful of legendaries made the grade and as such, everyone wanted those few items.
Loot 2.0 / Patch 2.0 had the promise of "build changing legendaries". Like patch 1.4, only a handful were build changing while the rest lack such a "build changing" property or any aspect that would otherwise made the item legendary. Only a few small steps in the right direction at best.
Since RoS, only a handful of non-powered legendaries have been updated with new effects. For the rest, nothing has happened.
And then at BlizzCon they apparently made the promise of epic loot during their panels, that eventually all legendaries will have their own unique effect and such. How long is this going to take, if at all?
TLDR - Players have heard this all before only to be let down repeatedly by Blizzard's lack of effort.
Alukat, you need to play more. Until you do, you don't know anything.
They also mentioned they don't want to stride away from vastly overpowered sets, which results in conflicting design goals and an unnecessarily forced linearity in gear progression. What's the point of making more "useful" legendaries (assuming their leg property isn't complete garbage like the new broken crown, that is) if you're just going to trivialize most of them with vastly superior set bonuses? They're drawing a pretty picture, only to smudge it with their elbow.
And yeah, I'm aware you can use different items. However, doing so would be similar to using an onscreen keyboard instead of a standard physical keyboard and pretending they both serve their function efficiently. You can type a document with the onscreen keyboard. This doesn't mean, however, that the standard physical keyboard isn't vastly superior in terms of performance and efficiency. This gearing approach simply won't work as long as set bonuses aren't normalized in order to not trivialize everything else.
Are you waiting for us to put in a bug report or something Blizzard?
easier list to type the "useful" legendaries, which is the problem.
seriously though i do agree with the sentiment that most legendaries in game are pretty well junk. dont even have to bother with identifying.. straight to salvage.
Yes, they said this in the legendary workshop development video that was posted in December as well at Blizzcon I think. I was really excited about this news and personally if I think if I were them I would consider looking at the legendary item crafting plans and all those Level 12 Blacksmith plans which don't have any legendary affixes. I mean the artwork is in the game already for so many of these legendary items and all they need are some affixes. I don't know about anyone else but I won't bother crafting many of the legendary items that only have +5-6 random properties more than once as it really seems like a waste of forgotten souls and then I will only do it to get the transmogrification appearance. I would consider designing legendary affixes that support or compliment the sets bonuses that just need help or some work to make them worth using or stronger to compete with the most commonly used sets everyone uses for there respective classes(You guys know which ones those are). I was on the team, I would try to release a patch with just the craftable redone Level 70 legendary items and release it on non-seasonal. Anyways, It is good to know that they have plans to fix several of the many legendaries in the game which currently have no legendary affixes.
Making all legendary items have a legendary effect only solves half the problem. Random stat distribution madly hinders any real fix to legendary items.
Random stat distribution madly hinders any real fix to legendary items.
Despite your best effort to pretend, you don't know what you are talking about.
pretty much. i could of swore there were 2 passes before Loot2.0 though.
i still remember the PTR for Loot2.0 how there were many items that had fun affixes only to have them stripped off the items right before they released the patch never to be seen again.
The nearly 1200 hours I have invested in this crusader have given me deep insight into the game and its items. FYI, it's = it is; its = possessive.
The random stat distribution takes otherwise good legendary drops, like Starmetal Kukri or Kridershot, and transform them into terrible drops by not having the mandatory primary attributes because the trash primary attributes have rolled instead.
In the case of already terrible legendary items, even if these are found with good attribute rolls, the lack of a legendary effect makes them little more than yellows in a flashy, orange coat.
As you can now see, there are two barriers to receiving a good drop: the barrier of having a proper legendary item drop and then the barrier of that item rolling proper attributes. Both issues need to be addressed before anything can be called "fixed".
It's about your ignorance and your sorry attempt to hide it, not the amount of hours I spent playing this game.

#CEATxPlorer: The Best from the West Coast!
Sometimes the best can be found in your backyard. And here I go exploring an area which is so close, yet so far!
One can ride to Goa a number of times yet never take coastal route as it takes almost 4 days via SH4. Although SH4 is called a highway, in reality it's nothing more than a country road. On numerous occasions, it runs into the water and a ferry must be taken to cross to the other side. It was evident that if I wanted to do complete coastal route it should be an independent ride only to explore the Konkan region. Hence, the dream of a long stretched dedicated bike trip to Konkan was always coming up. The time finally arrived on 16th Dec 2017.
The ferries that I took can transport a car as well as a bus. In fact all the ferries could accommodate 8-12 cars. So this itinerary can also be used by those who decide to drive on the coastal route.
Before the ride I was provided tyres by CEAT. I had tested these tyres for less than 100 km before the ride and the initial impression was very good. The tyres have better grip as compared to stock tyres on my Yamaha R3. After the first 100 kilometres I was looking forward to clocking more miles on them. The tyre specs for my Yamaha R3: Front: CEAT 110/70-17 Zoom XL F TL 54H, Rear: CEAT 140/70-17 Zoom XL TL 66H.
The toughest part was to decide which places to discover and which to skip, since there are many island forts, virgin beaches, temples and abandoned ruins along the way. Below is the route that I opted for after doing an extensive pre-ride analysis.
Day 1: Mumbai – Panvel – Vadkhal Naka – Kelghar – Agardanda – Ferry Crossing – Dighi – Shrivardhan – Harihareshwar.
Day 2: Harihareshwar – Ferry Crossing – Kelshi – Anjarle – Harnai – Dabhol – Ferry Crossing – Dhopave -Guhagar – Velneshwar Temple – Rohile Beach – Tavasal – Ferry Crossing – Jaigad Lighthouse – Ganpatipule.
Day 3: Ganpatipule – Arey Ware Beach – Ratnagiri – Ganeshgule – Padel Canteen – Devgad Lighthouse – Devgadh Windmill farms – Malvan.
A day before the ride, I had worked till late in the evening leaving very little time for packing, yet somehow packed my bags before bed. I woke up at 6 but was able to start my ride at 9 due to some unexpected delays. Plans as always are made to be broken!
I started at 9. AM which was quite a late start, so I expected traffic on the way till Vadkhal Naka for the first 70 Kms. And the infamous NH17 didn't disappoint. A few breaks later I reached Agardanda ferry crossing. Took the alternate route to reach Agardanda via Kelghar. As soon as I reached Agardanda Jetty at 1.00 PM, the ferry was there waiting for the vehicles to come in. Directly went in and parked my bike. Don't know if it was a paid service or not, but I didn't buy a ticket and nobody asked me to show one! The ferry ride lasted for 10 minutes and we reached Dighi.
As soon as I reached Dighi, I met a British rider couple Jojo and Catherine who were on a Royal Enfield and were riding from Mumbai to Goa via the coastal route. We all were looking for a place to have lunch and found one a few kilometres ahead. We had awesome prawns rice there. We discussed our plan and went our way hoping to meet again.
It was almost 4.30 PM when I reached Shrivardhan Beach. Had a stroll along the beach clicked few pictures and went ahead. I rushed towards Harihareshwar since I didn't book any accommodation and could see many tourists heading in that direction. Reached Harihareshwar and looked for a place to spend the night. After looking at 2-3 places settled for a place called Khadapa Lodge (8446538741) and the room was decent enough with safe parking and clean toilets and that's all that I wanted!
There's not much to do there after dark, so I had dinner at the restaurant of the same lodge and went off to sleep ready for the next day.
As planned I woke up at 6, had tea and quickly hopped onto the beach. The beach was very clean compared to Alibaug Beach. Clicked many pictures and pulled some burnouts on the new CEAT tyres (the child in me couldn't stop grinning). Next I visited Shri Kshetra Harihareshwar Temple. It is a holy place of pilgrimage and as the Government of Maharashtra has designated Harihareshwar as a tourist place, the place has seen a great influx of tourists. On one side is Savitri River, also known as Bankot Creek. On the other side is the huge expanse of the ocean and jutting out into the sea is a promontory that is Hariharswhar. Because of its holy status it is also called the Kashi of the South or Dakshin Kashi.
After visiting temple, had a quick breakfast at the restaurant in the lodge and packed my bags for the next leg of the ride. I knew it will be a busy day as I had to catch three ferries and still reach Ganpatipule on time to search for accommodation. Started from Harihareshwar at 9 to reach Bagmandla, which is 4-5 km away from Harihareshwar. As soon as I reached the jetty, I could see a biking group waiting for the ferry to arrive. There were some 20 bikes within the group and couple of cars in queue. Had a little chit chat with the group members and got to know that there were riding back to Pune. Again I didn't pay any amount for the ferry service. Once I reached Kelshi the roads become very bad until I reached Anjarle, where the average speed was below 25 kmph.
As soon as I crossed Anjarle beach, got to see a magnificent top view of the beach from the hill.
Clicked few pictures on the same spot and quickly started riding towards Dabhol, where I had to catch another ferry towards Dhopave. This time too I didn't pay any amount for the ferry, but the attendant asked for ticket on the ferry and I couldn't produce one. He asked for ₹50 as fine towards a ticket of ₹65! The road passes through the controversial Dabhol Power Station. Within no time I reached Guhagar and started looking for restaurants to have lunch. Stopped at Hotel Rajgad and while I was about to order my lunch I saw Jojo and Catherine whom I had met the previous day. They were wandering and also looking for a place to have lunch. I knew somehow we will meet today as well. We again had lunch together and since this was our second meet we clicked a few pictures as well.
Bid them adieu and went ahead towards Tavasal Ferry crossing. The roads went through villages and were very narrow. Even the uphill section was very narrow and steep. At one section the roads completely disappeared into muddy and stone block road. But that lasted for around 1-1.5 km and could see the view of magnificent Rohile Beach. Reached Tavasal ferry crossing where I bought ticket for first time and it cost me 55 rupees. Ferry timing was for 5.45 and due to some technical problems the ferry arrived at 6. The ride lasted for 10 minutes and soon I started riding towards Ganpatipule. It was already late when I reached there and started hunting for rooms. Got one with ample and safe parking. Had dinner at nearby restaurant and went to sleep early as next morning I had to visit Ganpatipule temple.
So I woke up at 6 and visited temple at 6. Had a quick darshan of the lord and bought some prasad for people back home. Next on the list was Arey Ware Beach.
The main purpose of this trip was to witness the incredible Arey Ware Beach. This is one of the best virgin beaches the western coast has to offer. Spent some time at this location clicking pictures and went off towards Malwan. Before that I had to reach Devgad Windmill farms and Sarjekot as well and reach Malwan before 5 for some water sports activity.
After visiting this amazing places, headed to Malwan to search for accommodation. Found one place called Laxmi Ganesh Nyahari Niwas (9420734134), the rooms were very small even for a single person. I would not recommend this place to anyone but for someone who is on a tight budget. I have been to Malwan already so I had already visited Sindhudurg fort. Wanted to do water sports but it was getting dark so all centres were about to close and I had to give them a miss. Went around town and tried a few local delicacies. Wanted to sleep early as next day I had to ride back to Mumbai.
Day 5: Mumbai to Malwan via GaganbawdaIt was to be a long day of almost 500 km, and I was already missing this incredible ride to coastal Maharashtra. I was riding slow as I wanted to make most of the time left. Took an alternate route via Gaganbawda ghat to reach Kholapur and then Pune. Reached Mumbai by 6.30 and yet another great ride came to an end.
The CEAT tyres that I used took all that came its way. This tyre is very economical, but performs just like more expensive rubber. Only once the tyre fishtailed because of loose gravel and another time I had to panic brake because of unmarked speed breaker, and these tyres handled those two scary moments very well. These are great for your bike if you are looking for predictable tyre to ride on safely in both wet and dry conditions. The road grip is excellent. You just can't get better for the price it is offered at.

Someone is lying for the returned refugees
Source: FB Giorgos Kosmopoulos *
Original Title: What did the European Commission forget to tell us about the returnees of the EU-Turkey Deal?
So finally UNHCR stated formally, very quietly unfortunately, that has no unimpeded access to the returned refugees to Turkey and cannot monitor the returns under the EU-Turkey deal in any effective manner. In short they haven't seen much of the returned refugees. See attached.
Reading from their letter dated 23 December 2016:
[…]UNHCR does not benefit at this stage from unhindered and predictable access to pre-removal centres in Turkey and to the Duzici reception centre.'' And goes on to detail that ''UNHCR was able to conduct individual interviews with 45 of the 82 Syrians who were readmitted as of 7 November 2016''.
The letter is silent as to what happens to people of other nationalities or even if their has been an effort to speak to them.
Moreover: ''Second, UNHCR needs to seek authorization to visit the centre at least five working days in advance which, in practice, does not allow for timely monitoring of some individual cases.
Third, UNHCR does not systematically receive information on the legal status and location of individuals who have been readmitted from Greece and is not always able to track their location and monitor their situation once they have left the reception centre.''
In numbers:
''Out of the 82 Syrian nationals readmitted from Greece, UNHCR is in a position to confirm, based on direct contacts, that 12 of them (re)acquired temporary protection''
If monitoring is almost impossible with such low numbers who can expect a proper monitoring if the pace of returned refugees increase dramatically? We should also bear in mind that there is virtually no independent oversight in these centers in Turkey (EU Commission is not an independent observer even if they do get access)
This of course also raises the question of the responsibility of the Greek authorities who have the responsibility to ensure that those they return (voluntarily or not) will enjoy their full set of rights.
The lack of access is all so important because that UNHCR monitoring was presented as a guarantee when the deal was adopted. According to the EU Commission:
'' [Turkey] Agreed to allow the EU to monitor regularly the situation of Syrians and non-Syrians returned to Turkey, including access to refugee camps and centres, and concluded an agreement with the UNHCR to provide access to removal centres to monitor implementation of international protection procedures. The first visits to these camps and removal centres have already taken place;''
[http://europa.eu/rapid/press-release_MEMO-16-1664_el.htm]
However, the latest information provided by the EU Commission seems to be contradicting UNHCR's statement latest info. In their latest report the EU Commission don't seem to find any problems regarding the agreed access, on the contrary: '' Turkey has agreed to allow the EU to monitor regularly the situation of Syrians and non-Syrians returned to Turkey, including access to refugee camps and centres, and has concluded an agreement with UNHCR to provide access to removal centres notably to monitor Turkey's practices in relation to international protection procedures. The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and the EU Delegation to Turkey have recently visited the removal centre in Kirklareli and the refugee camp in Duzici.''
[ http://europa.eu/rapid/press-release_MEMO-16-4321_en.htm / 8 December 2016 ]
So the two statements, drafted more or less the same time, don't add up. Either the serious issues UNHCR is reporting exist and the EU Commission is concealing important facts or UNHCR is providing false information. I would go for the former. UNHCR might have taken way too long to state formally that they don't get to see much of the returnees but at least provided concrete info.
Does the EU Commission know all that and why do they think is all fine? What are they keeping hidden? Are the letters sent by the EU Commission to the Greek authorities claiming Turkey is safe for refugees of equal credibility? Could someone ask Ms Bertaud during the press briefing?

Over nearly two decades together, Brooklyn triumvirate Dub Trio—Stu Brooks [bass], DP Holmes [guitar], and Joe Tomino [drums]—not only delivered a string of albums that forever redefined the term "dub"under cover of metal, punk, alternative, and shoegaze, but also infused its musical prowess into the studio recordings and the shows of genre-bending icons ranging from Mike Patton to Lady Gaga. The three-piece introduced itself on 2004's "live-dub experiment" Exploring the Dangers Of followed by successors New Heavy[2006], Another Sound Is Dying[2008], and IV[2011]. Conjuring up instrumental music hummable enough to sing, praise came from the likes of Pitchfork who predicted "Dub Trio are on to something." Along the way, the guys served as Peeping Tom's live band and toured alongside everyone from Clutch to Gogol Bordello and Dillinger Escape Plan. However, the band took a hiatus as a collective in 2015 after touring heavily behind IV. A two-week 2018 reunion at a tiny Brooklyn rehearsal spot set the stage for their fifth full-length and first release for New Damage Records, The Shape of Dub To Come. Moored by "World of Inconvenience" [feat. King Buzzo of The Melvins], "Fought The Line" [feat. Troy Sanders], "Forget My Name Dub" [feat. Meshell Ndegeocello], they once again usher dub into new territory like only they can.

Feuerstab ist ein Spielgerät zum Spinning, einem Teilgebiet des Jonglierens. Neben dem Entzünden eines Stabes mit Feuer kann dieser auch beispielsweise mit LEDs oder mit Schwarzlicht reflektierenden Beschichtungen beleuchtet werden. Bei den meisten Feuerstäben befindet sich an den Enden eine Wicklung mit Dochtband, die mit einem Brennstoff getränkt und entzündet wird.

Herkunft
Der Stab entstammt der Kampfkunst, wo er als Waffe (siehe Bō) verwendet wird.

Spielarten

Normales Spinning
Beim normalen Spinning wird der Stab in einer oder in beiden Händen gehalten. Durch das Übergeben von der einen in die andere Hand und durch Ändern der Drehrichtung relativ zur Rotationsachse wird erreicht, dass für einen Beobachter sich der Stab durchgehend ohne sichtbare Richtungswechsel dreht.

Contact
Contact erweitert den Bewegungshorizont des Artisten. Beim Contact wird der Stab nicht mehr die ganze Zeit fest in der Hand gehalten, sondern er wird um Körperteile gedreht.

Würfe
Bei den Würfen werden die Stäbe (meist drei) jongliert und in kreisförmigen Bewegungen geworfen, wobei sie jedes Mal aufs Neue in Rotation gebracht werden.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander experiences of violence
Providing the right support means understanding the causes and effects of violence in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities
It is important to understand the past and current experiences of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as well as the needs of the person you are supporting
Remember that domestic and family violence is not always caused by an intimate partner but can also come from other family members and the extended community
Violence in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities
Domestic and family violence happens in Australia across all communities. In Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities domestic and family violence happens at higher rates than in non-Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.
Understanding why this is the case helps support services to better meet the needs of people affected by family violence.
Issues contributing to violence
Increased violence is common in communities where there is a history of disadvantage and oppression. In Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities this is made worse by forced separation from land and culture. These things can lead to conflict in family relationships, racism, ongoing poverty and limited housing.
From 1910 into the 1970s a government policy forced the separation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children from their families. At times as many as one in three children were forcibly removed from their families and communities. The trauma from this policy still affects people today and contributes to the way that violence is experienced in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.
In addition to this trauma, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are much more likely to suffer from economic and social disadvantage. This can cause feelings of anger, frustration, helplessness and unhappiness. It can also lead to alcohol and drug use as a way of coping, which may cause or worsen mental illness. All of these things can contribute to create a setting of violence, including domestic and family violence, in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.
Reporting on Family Violence
The 'Our Watch' paper 'Reporting on Family Violence in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Communities' includes statistices cited in this conent and provides an introduction to the issue of reporting on family violence.

Responding to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander experiences of violence
There are particular things to look for when undertaking a risk assessment with members of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities
The most important factor for understanding risk in domestic and family violence situations is related to the inter-connectedness of people to the community itself
If you don't respond to sexual, domestic or family violence often, our Introduction to responding page is a good place to start
Culturally appropriate response
The most important point to remember when supporting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples experiencing family violence is the connectedness of people to community. Family and kinship connections are extremely important. For many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples these connections give a sense of identity and belonging.
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities typically have a broad and inclusive concept of family. This means that families are large and there are many people who are considered close family members. For instance, often first cousins are considered sisters, or mothers' distant cousins may be considered aunties. Family is not always dependent on being a blood relative. People who grew up in the same place may be considered a part of the same family in every way that you would expect from blood relatives.
Additionally, it is important to understand that people within Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities often all know each other or know someone from the family in question.
Using the general Risk Assessment Framework as a starting point, services supporting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples need to consider some additional risks to understand the situation and provide the best support possible.
Risk assessments need to be revisited regularly – people's circumstances change and with that their risk levels change too.
When undertaking a family violence risk assessment there are some guiding principles:
Do not expect that the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander person you support will disclose everything in the first meeting. This process will take time and is dependent upon building trust in the worker-client relationship.
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander family violence services and specialist workers will typically not only work with the person presenting, but will also endeavour to work with the entire family unit and take their needs into account in risk assessment and planning.
Things to consider when conducting a risk assessment
Always ensure you have explicit, signed and informed consent for referral to any service, which includes any Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander service
There are certain areas, suburbs, shopping malls, services and so forth where women know it is not safe to be seen. They know that if they are seen there it will get back to the person they are fleeing. Believe them when they say they do not go to or cannot be seen in these places.
Support workers are not the experts in assessing someone's risk in relation to their community, they are
When undertaking risk assessment realise that, though the person may be experiencing family violence from their partner, their partner's extended family may be involved in perpetrating violence against them too
It is important to have the full name and age of the perpetrator in order to ensure you have the right information. Many people are named after each other and, therefore, it is very common to have multiple people in the community with the same name. This is also important when referring to any Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander refuge or service provider.
Specialist support and good practice principles
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander organisations have a wealth of experience in developing strategies and programs to respond to the needs of their community. These programs include those targeted to effectively prevent and respond to family violence. You can find national, state and locally based specialist Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander support services by searching our Service directory.
The Secretariat of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Child Care (SNAICC) has consulted with a range of these organisations to develop an evidence-based guide called 'Safe for our Kids: a guide to family violence response and prevention for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and families'. It includes a set of evidence-based good practice principles that organisation can adopt when responding to family violence. The principles recognise the right to live in dignity free from family violence.
The rights-based framework used to develop these good practise principles recognises human rights detailed in in the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples 2007; the Convention on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women 1979; and the Convention on the Rights of the Child 1989. The full resource can be downloaded from the SNAICC website.

Safety planning with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples
Along with the general safety planning checklist and guidelines there are some particular safety issues to be aware of when supporting Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander people
These issues include concerns around privacy, attending cultural events, and applying for new housing
You can search our Service directory for specialist Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander support services in your local area
Privacy and the community
The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community can be close and interconnected. It is important to recognise that this can be the case in both small towns (such as rural or remote communities) as well as large cities. With this in mind, it can be very difficult for members of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities to feel that their privacy is being respected or that they can maintain anonymity about their issues that are related to family violence. This means that maintaining their privacy and respecting their wishes in regards to referrals is of the utmost importance.
When working with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples it can be important for your working relationship to have a discussion around privacy in a way that reflects the cultural distinctiveness of families and community. It is a conversation that is different to one that you would have with a non-Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as their needs and concerns will be different.
When providing a family violence service to Aboriginal and Torres Islander peoples, have a conversation about the following:
Reassure and be clear with them that you won't contact other services, whether they're Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander services or not, without their specific permission and consent first
Tell them that you will check to see the consequences of identifying them as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander when referring her to other services – for example, if their information will be shared with staff in the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander unit
Be familiar with the process and procedures of the service that you are considering for referral pathways – for example, do they have a procedure where they automatically refer people who identify as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander to a specific program or unit? If this is the case, find out who is in that team and talk to your client about whether this is something that they feel is appropriate or safe. Also, they may not want to be automatically referred on to an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander program.
Ensure that you respect their privacy outside of the service. Do not approach the person outside of your specific organised times as this may affect their safety
Attending cultural events
For Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, communities are central to identity, culture and lives. For someone experiencing family violence, this should never mean that they or their children have to sacrifice being a part of their community.
Everyone has the right to choose whether or not they or their family should attend a community or cultural event. If the choice is made to attend, it is important all of the risks are taken into consideration and that there is a plan around how to respond if any of these occur. This is to ensure that the event can be attended as safely as possible.
When working with an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander client who is looking at attending a cultural or community event, you may want to ask them to consider some of the following:
Think about who else may be attending the event – for instance will the perpetrator be there or other members of his family?
Be honest if you think that you can be safe if you choose to attend – if you think it is too much of a risk after considering all of the factors then your safety should be your first priority.
Plan ahead – call family and friends that you trust to see if they will be there too which may help you feel safe. Ensure that you let them know any concerns that you may have and if appropriate, you could involve them in your safety plan too – for example, you could ask them to keep an eye on you or you could ask them to assist you to leave the event if your safety is at risk.
If you know the venue or are familiar with the location of the event try to incorporate this into your safety plan – for example, if you know there is only one driveway into the football ground ensure that you park your car outside of the ground on the street, or near the entrance point so you can easily get away.
When you arrive check if there is security and that you know where the security people are.
When you arrive you may want to look around the event to see who has attended – there may be people there who are either 'safe' people or 'risk' people that you may not have considered in your planning and may need to adjust safety plan accordingly.
If you don't have a car and are arriving by public transport, ensure you have the timetables and information at hand to ensure you can leave when you need to and don't get stuck. You may want to consider putting aside extra money for a taxi in case you need to leave urgently
Applying for new housing
If you are a support worker assisting a woman who is experiencing violence, it is important to be mindful of the inter-connectedness of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community. You should ask questions about known unsafe areas.
For women applying for new housing, consider which areas are 'unsafe' and may place you at risk of the perpetrator discovering your new location. If you know where he lives or spends a lot of time, you could either request exemptions if you are applying for government or supported housing from those areas or just don't look in those areas if you are looking for private rental.

I met county archivist Barbara Bartos at the Cumberland County Historical Society last night. She informed me that the archives from the Prothonotary's Office contained automobile registration records prior to when the Commonwealth started issuing license plates.
In February, 1903 Senator Grim of Bucks County introduced a bill requiring the registration of automobiles. The legislature enacted an auto licensing law on April 23, 1903 that required motor vehicles to be registered with the county Prothonotary and a $2 fee be paid to the county Treasurer for a license tag to be affixed to the vehicle. Pop Warner may have owned an automobile before this act went into effect but, if he did, he did not register it in Carlisle. It is unlikely that, due to his notoriety, Warner would have been able to avoid licensing his automobile, if he had one. The Cumberland County Prothonotary issued ten automobile registrations between May 4, 1903 and March 11, 1904, the approximate date of Warner's departure for Cornell. Seven of the vehicles registered were for owners who resided in Carlisle; the others resided elsewhere in the county. The automobiles registered in the first year of registration included recognizable names, both in makes of vehicles: Olds, Cadillac, Packard and Rambler as well as family of owners: Henderson, Biddle, Plank and Chronister. As one would expect, the list of early car owners includes wealthy families. Not included was Glenn S. Warner. So, it is highly likely that he did not own an automobile prior to May 4, 1903, the date on which W. H. Newsham of Carlisle registered his Olds. Not only wasn't Warner the first man in town to own a car but he wasn't among the first.
James C. McGowan provided no source for his information so one assumes that he concluded from the mention of Warner's automobile on the Indian School campus in 1907 as a novelty that no one else in town had a car. That is simply not true. Errors of this nature would not be so egregious if they were not being foisted off on students and educators by McGowan and WorldandI.com as being true.
If such a simple part of McGowan's article is wrong, what about the rest of it? Does WorldandI fact check what it posts on its site?
A piece posted on a website used by educators and students contains a number of significant errors concerning the Carlisle Indian School, so I was suspicious when it stated that Pop Warner was the first person in Carlisle to own a car. Carlisle is the seat of Cumberland County and was then a prosperous place. Logic suggests that the first car in Carlisle would have been purchased by someone in one of the wealthy families. Also, its placement in the article implies that Warner purchased it around 1912, a date that seems late for the first automobile to appear in a county seat.
Carlisle Indian School publications first mention Warner's automobile in early 1907, shortly after he returned to Carlisle from a 3-year stint back at his alma mater, Cornell. He may have brought the car with him or he may have purchased it with his substantial pay raise. Neither make nor year of the car was mentioned in the school newspaper's articles. A 1910 article in The Carlisle Arrow informed readers that Warner had bought another cat, a Chalmers-Detroit 30. I had licensed a photo of Warner tinkering with his $15 auto for the Lone Star Dietz biography so checked with the Chalmers Registry to determine if the car in the photo was the Chalmers-Detroit 30. Joe A responded quickly that the car in the photo was a Franklin but not enough of the car was shown to determine the year and model. Franklins were made in Syracuse, NY which was Warner's home state.
A newspaper article from late 1906 stated that the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania had already licensed almost 13,000 cars. Seeing that led me to contact PennDOT which, surprisingly quickly, directed me to a person who might be able to tell me when the first Car was licensed in Carlisle. That person informed me that PennDOT keeps no records on "dead tags," license plates no longer in use, so has no historical data. Bummer. Boiling Springs historian and photo curator at Cumberland County Historical Society, Richard Tritt, came to the rescue. He informed me that Barbara Bartos has the records for the licenses issued by the county before PennDOT began issuing them. Now I may be able to solve this mystery.
Today while conducting an email conversion regarding some advertising, I received an unexpected stroke. Maryann Batsakis, Sales Representative for ForeWord Magazine, informed me that the subtitle of my new book was the best she had seen in her seven years at ForeWord. She also informed me that she started in the mailroom where she opened every package that came in and saw every book. Since then she has seen all the award-winning books. So, she speaks with some authority. However, I may have a leg up because she appreciates my sense of humor. One time I mentioned a password I sometimes use and she responded that she liked it. I explained that it was too difficult to use Of all the gin joints in all the towns in the world she has to walk into mine. That cracked her up.
So if Doctors, Lawyers, Indian Chiefs doesn't receive any other awards, I can feel good that my subtitle, Jim Thorpe & Pop Warner's Carlisle Indian School football immortals tackle socialites, bootleggers, students, moguls, prejudice, the government, ghouls, tooth decay and rum, is the best.
Some may wonder why I was so verbose. Subtitles are used to help describe what the book is about and also to help search engines find the book for readers who might be interested in it. Doctors, Lawyers, Indian Chiefs covers so much ground that a long subtitle is needed. This might help explain why some books, especially very technical ones, have lengthy subtitles that contain a lot of jargon.
This is off topic – way off topic – but please indulge my little rant. This week three of my brothers and I took our soon-to-be-95-year-old father on our annual tour. It used to be old car museums but has since expanded to also include tractors, airplanes, trains and historical sites. Getting useable directions to these places is always a challenge so two of my brothers used technology to address this problem – two different technologies.
One searched the Internet for maps with driving directions that are all-too-often questionable if not downright wrong. The other had a $300 GPS unit. Having heard others besides him sing the praises of these magical units, I had him ride shotgun and get the driving directions to the new Air and Space Museum by Dulles airport near Washington, DC. It worked perfectly. It put us on the right roads and told us where to turn right up to pulling in the gate. That's where the problems began. Fortunately the guard had dealt with people using GPS units before and quickly got us turned around and on our way to the main entrance. It seems that GPS units take you to the closest entrance, whether it is open to the public or not. Sending us to the back gate wasn't the only thing it did wrong.
I found something unexpected in the January 1912 edition of The Red Man when I turned a page and saw an article titled "How the American Indian Named the White Man" by Alexander F. Chamberlain, Professor of Anthropology at Clark University. I was curious at first because I didn't understand what was meant by the title. However, the first sentence made things very clear: "'Paleface' is not the only name by which the 'white man' is known to the 'red.'" The author's premise was quite reasonable. It makes perfect sense that Indians would coin names for us that described white people as they saw them. It also reminded me of the punchline in that Tonto and the Lone Ranger joke we told as kids: "What do you mean we, paleface?" But I digress. The author explained that different tribes coined different names and had different names for some of the European nationalities.
Many of the names, as expected, had to do with skin color. Several tribes called us "white," "white person," "white skin," etc. In addition to these the Algonkian Arapahos referred to us as "yellow-hided." Whether it had to do with skin or hair color or courage is unknown. Kiowas used a term that meant "hairy mouth" and the Zunis referred to the early Spaniards as "moustached people." "They of the hairy chest" was used by Algonkian Miamis.
Donna Newashe McAllister, granddaughter of Emma Newashe and grandniece of William Newashe, posed a question that has remained unanswered for some time. Your opinions are appreciated as they may shine some light on this issue. So, please comment. Note that a link has been provided for an article written by Emma Newashe that was published in Carlisle's literary journal.
I have long been interested in the decline of American Indian athletes in every sport at every level.
My academic background is in early childhood development. I was a producing potter at 15 who then married early and now intermittently work in sculpture and occasionally write – thus my interest in my grandmother…as almost all of her children are artistic…and some of the grandchildren. Fortunately I was athletic enough to join in whatever sport was around…and having been on the golf course since I was barely old enough to walk…I have watched the world of sports as it has changed both locally and nationally.
Leadership has long been a topic of discussion among my professional friends and colleagues especially with regard to the American Indian. I have asked everyone from Billy Mills to PhD specialists in education and Native American Studies to speculate on this phenomenon. NO ONE has every given me a good answer…and very few even had a response…including Mills.
My father took me with him to the golf course as well as the softball games where he played with both Indian and non-Indian men regularly as soon as I could walk….so I have always been around the culture that I call sports – a microcosm of the world. Also my nationally known art/pottery instructor in high school (the same high school that graduated the Olympian John Smith) was a nationally known wrestling coach, came from a wrestling family…and some of his wrestlers, my classmates, competed at the state and national level. He left coaching when he went on to teach art at the college level and continue as a producing artist.
During my second year of college a friend, an American Indian professor, asked me to name 5 Indian leaders – this was not in the classroom. I looked at the wall for a length of time and then said, "I can't." He then asked me to name five black leaders…and I rattled off 10-12…because I had been exposed to that community at an early age. Here in Oklahoma…although it is not as highly profiled as in other areas…there has been an extraordinary amount of activity/success in the black community over an extended period of time.
I spent the rest of the week pondering this concept…and the American Indian names I did come up with had TALENT…but were not leaders. They were revered…but not listened to when it came to social issues – issues that could mold aspects of the larger society. Because of my personal experiences and knowledge this subject has always interested me.
But it is the decline of American Indians in sports at the local and national levels that has truly fascinated me as I look at sports decade by decade. The lack of substantive response or even response when I have posed this question is even more interesting to me. The black athlete has markedly increased both locally and nationally if one looks back and compares the two races…within the context of competition and sports. Indians I have been around love sports, love to play, are very competitive…and in my lifetime would even create their own games, tournaments.
In my junior yearat OU [The University of Oklahoma]…I chose to write a paper on leadership in the history department for a man well renowned for his knowledge of the American Indian…and examine the comparisons in what I chose to loosely call "cultures"…and the lack of leadership in the American Indian culture as I saw it. In the last two census rolls Oklahoma has been 1st and 2nd in the nation with the highest population of American Indians…so the numbers are there. The possibilities in this state should be impacted by that alone.
Most team sports require leaders and followers…and in my observations these qualities are then taken into the world at large when one leaves sports. Perhaps that is an over generalization…but not too far a stretch…and thus my connection with the two qualities.
The instruction at Carlisle, however socially controversial, seemed to include [a broad range of extracurricular] activities. Is it the broader education that included these activities that made these men exceptional?


Okay so I'm in the works of getting a laptop, but I know little of them. I'm basically looking for a steam machine.
Something strong enough to game on, but I don't need anything over the top. Just good enough to play most games at med-high settings.
I'll be playing a lot of Titanfall 2, Warframe, Overwatch.
If I could get some suggestions that'd be great.
At that price and those list of games, get a PC.
I need something I can take with me on the road.
I'm just saying you will not find a laptop at that price point being able to play those games at an enjoyable framerate and graphics settings, why not just get a ultrabook for office work and netflix?
Because I want to play games when I'm out.
So say we raise the budget, to whatever, what is a good laptop I could get. What would you recommend, no budget.

10 Marine Parade, Brighton
Book Ticket: https://dice.fm/
Tickets: £16.50
Theon Cross is one of those rare musicians whose vision has redefined their instrument. His unique approach to the tuba has expanded the instrument's sonic possibilities in revolutionary fashion, restoring it to a long-forgotten prominence as a crucial part of the contemporary jazz ensemble.
Through his combination of technical mastery, studio smarts, deep musical knowledge and expansive vision, the power and originality of Theon's playing has reinvented the tuba's place in modern music.
Exploring the tuba's possibilities in the light of diasporic bass culture – 'Afro-Diaspora Music' or ADM, as he calls it – Theon has worked to develop the full sonic spectrum of his instrument, transforming it into a total 21st century sound-system, powered by breath.
Using the instrument's ability to produce sub-sonics, bass, mids, and tops, Theon creates complete sound-worlds, building up from rhythm and bass to arrive at melody. Employing its oft-neglected capacity to generate complex multiphonics and sustained pedal tones, he can summon colour, texture and atmosphere.

Ofcom intervenes over BT Sport "unfair contract terms"
Ofcom has intervened to help BT customers who found themselves paying for a BT Sport package they didn't want.
The investigation came under Ofcom's powers to take action against unfair contract terms levied on customers by telecoms operators.
At the beginning of August, BT changed its pricing structure for its BT Sport package. With the exception of customers signing up for BT's YouView service, customers had to begin paying to receive previously free BT Sport channels.
They were automatically opted in to the £5 a month charge, which also gave them access to new channel BT Sport Europe. Only BT Sport 1 remains free (the so-called "BT Sport Lite" pack), but customers had to get in touch with BT to remain on the free package.
BT wrote to customers in June and July informing them that the charge would start being added to their bills from 1 August unless they contacted BT by 31 July to downgrade to BT Sport Lite or cancel.
Ofcom now says that some customers complained to Ofcom saying that unless they actively downgraded, they were being charged an extra cost that they hadn't previously agreed.
Any customer who does complain will be offered a 'no quibble' refund of any charges paid; and the opportunity to downgrade to BT Sport Lite or cancel their BT Sport service.
Ofcom added: "BT also told us that as part of a planned review of its terms and conditions it is reviewing its BT Sport contract, including with a view to amending its terms to more clearly set out the circumstances in which it may change the BT Sport service and price."
BT has set up a webpage to deal with complaints, which is available here.
So OFCOM's intervention hasn't done anything - you still have to take action yourself to avoid the charge.

Aircraft carrier sent to boost cyber fight with US in face of 'perilous risk', Defence Secretary announces
Defence Secretary Gavin Williamson will tonight announce that Britain's new aircraft carrier will host a joint drive between the UK and US to outpace adversaries on the cyber battlefield.
Speaking at the Trafalgar night dinner on board HMS Queen Elizabeth, the Defence Secretary will announce that the new Atlantic Future Forum will take place on Monday, bringing US and UK industry and military together in the face of changing warfare and the fight against growing cyber threats, both at home and abroad.
Taking place in New York harbour, it is the first example of the four acres of sovereign territory being able to deploy into global seas to promote British interests on the world stage, as well as acting as a world-class warship.
The forum comes after the UK has exposed the reckless attacks by the likes of the Russian intelligence services not just in the UK but around the world, and revealed the country is fending off more than ten cyber-attacks a week.
Defence Secretary Gavin Williamson will say: "Some believe it is not the place of our Armed Forces to operate outside deployed conflict zones many thousands of miles from the UK mainland.
"They are wrong. Against a threat seeking to subvert and destabilise the very fabric of our society such capabilities are critical.
"So I am convinced cyber, information warfare and intelligence must be fully integrated into our military power, that they are fundamental to a modernised defence and our warfighting successes, and that without them we put our nation's security at perilous risk.
"That's why our defence cyber forces are commanded by four-star military leadership.
"That's why we are launching our new forum. And that's why on Monday we'll sign an accord to ensure our nations dominate the cyber commons.
"A future in which our military and national power is irrevocably diminished, a future in which our way of life is irretrievably endangered, cannot be contemplated.
"If we're to ensure a darker future does not come to pass we must engage with this fight now with determination innovation relentless focus and when necessary with military ruthlessness."
The Atlantic Future Forum will combine the brightest minds, innovators and tech entrepreneurs from across government and industry to collaborate on the changing cyber landscape Britain and its allies now face.
The Forum will also be the backdrop for the signing of an Accord, a commitment from the UK and US to work with a new committee of firms in cyber and artificial intelligence to ensure that the 'special relationship' remains the world leading partnership for cyber security, defence and artificial intelligence amid a climate of rapidly changing threats.
It comes just months before HMS Queen Elizabeth prepares to have her systems rigorously tested against the evolving cyber danger next year, when she forms part of Information Warrior 2019.
The Royal Navy-led exercise simulates attempts to bring down networks and jam satellite communications to ensure the fleet remains able to combat these threats as hostile states become more technologically advanced.
At the dinner, the Defence Secretary will add: "Aggressor nations still respect our hard-won military expertise on sea, land and air. But they can now use technology to do us harm in ways once thought impossible.
"Already the UK is acting, combining our technical excellence, our professionalism, our war fighter ethos to design and increasingly use our offensive cyber capability.
"Capability that can counter and deter malign cyber-attacks and that allows us to strike swiftly and strategically as Daesh have found to their cost with their evil propaganda machine wiped from the online battlespace."
Britain has been leading the way in offensive cyber, using ground-breaking technology as part of the military's arsenal and integrating it into all operations, including in the fight against Daesh in Syria and Iraq.
The Forum - a meeting of innovators and tech entrepreneurs from across government and industry, together with business leaders - will be an opportunity to explore the emerging trends and technologies that will dominate the world ahead and to cement the leading role that the UK and US will jointly play in shaping them. They will be joined by political leaders, policy makers and sector specialists.
At the end of the Forum, which will be attended by International Trade Secretary Dr Liam Fox and First Sea Lord Admiral Sir Philip Jones, the Accord will be signed by both Government and industry experts, providing a future framework for cooperation between UK and US industry and military on cyber and artificial intelligence.
Captain Angus Essenhigh will lead HMS Queen Elizabeth as she works towards full operations, after taking over from Commodore Steve Moorhouse as the aircraft carrier's commanding officer.
