Born in 1900 Roland Penrose pursued a career as an artist before becoming friends with a number of Surrealists. Hartley introduces Penrose's colourful life and work while highlighting how a number of major works from Penrose's private collection ended up in British public collections.
Roland Penrose (1900–84) began pursuing a career as an artist, before meeting and becoming friends with a number of Surrealists. When he inherited money from his parents in the early 1930s, he began to help the artists he knew, buying works and financing their projects, which was the start of a broad and extraordinarily high-quality collection of surrealist art – one of the four collections that are brought together in this book.
Penrose's talents lay in bringing people together (not an easy thing to do), holding them together (an even more difficult thing to do, especially with people as disputatious as the Surrealists) and making sure that they brought things to a conclusion. Penrose was a born diplomat and conciliator, always seeking common ground and avoiding unnecessary quarrels. But beneath the affable, old-world manners and charm was a resolve to achieve well-defined goals. Breton famously said that Penrose was 'surréaliste dans l'amitié', surrealist in friendship. This was no empty phrase, no attempt to provide Penrose with an easy epithet, to go with the supposedly more meaningful epithets that he applied to the other Surrealists. Breton, and almost everyone else who came into contact with Penrose, recognised that his gift for friendship was quite remarkable and produced extraordinarily positive results. In a movement such as Surrealism which tried to bridge the gap between individual creativity and group solidarity and all too frequently failed, anyone such as Penrose who united people was very welcome indeed.
Up until 1935 when he was 'by chance' introduced to the young English poet, David Gascoyne, in Paris, Penrose was, by and large, living the life of a well-to-do expatriate English painter in France. He had acquired a post-cubist style in the usual Bloomsbury way via André Lhote's Académie in Paris and an extended period in the south of France. But in 1926 he had come under the spell of Max Ernst and he then made a large number of highly accomplished frottages in the manner of Ernst's Histoire Naturelle published the same year. He used similar techniques in some of his paintings, but he had not yet found a style or mode of expression that was fully his own.
[…] In Scrap Book Penrose says that he was not by temperament a collector in the classical mould: 'It was probably a reaction against the stately well-ordered collections at Wisbech [his maternal grandfather's house] that gave me a dislike from an early age for the classical idea of collecting. A collection shared too many characteristics with the cemetery.' However, he did admit that when he had lived in Paris he collected strange objects that attracted his attention, and that he had helped out his friends such as Max Ernst who were hard hit by the Depression. He seems to suggest that this was one of the reasons behind his first major purchase of a work of art: Ernst's La Joie de vivre, 1936. He bought this work in 1935 even before Ernst had finished it. However, there is no doubt that Penrose also felt it hard to resist buying works that really appealed to him. An important case in point was his acquisition in March 1936 of Picasso's Femme nue couchée au soleil sur la plage, 1932. Penrose had seen this illustrated in a publication and was immediately smitten. He writes about it in Scrap Book: 'At that time, I had seen reproduced in the Cahiers d'Art a recent painting by Picasso dated 1932 which seemed to contain magic of a kind I had never known before and to fill me with a longing to see and if possible own the original.' Picasso took Penrose down to his house in the country at Le Boisgeloup and, even though Penrose was surprised to see how small the painting was – from the reproduction he had expected to see something much more monumental – he purchased it, the first Picasso he acquired.
It is wrong to see Penrose's collection as being primarily the product of bulk purchases, as some have suggested. Since coming into his inheritance, Penrose bought consistently, from his friends mainly (both artists and otherwise) but also from shows of contemporary art. In Scrap Book he is reluctant to see himself as a collector, calling his collection, self-deprecatingly, 'a collection which collected itself'.
[…] Penrose's friendship with Picasso, although at times severely tested when Picasso kept him waiting before he would see him, led to other successes. In January 1965 Picasso finally agreed to sell his masterpiece The Three Dancers, 1925, to the Tate. This came at the end of a long process, begun in 1960, of tentative probing, tactful questioning, persistence, cajoling, diplomatic silences, and well-aimed praises (not to say flattery) on Penrose's part. To persuade Picasso to part with this painting was a triumph. Picasso regarded it very highly and commented on the fact that 'some people had told him they preferred it to Les Demoiselles [d'Avignon, 1907, Museum of Modern Art, New York] – in fact it is more complete in composition and conception.' Picasso said that it was really unlike anything else in his oeuvre. He certainly preferred it to Guernica ('de beaucoup') and had repeatedly refused to sell it. It was, Picasso said, because of Penrose that he finally agreed to sell it to the Tate.
[…] To all these exhibitions and to hundreds of others at home and abroad Penrose lent very generously from his collection. As long as the shows were serious and well-organised, he believed that the works he owned should be seen as widely as possible. Although he enjoyed being surrounded by works of art that he loved, he was in no way selfish about them. Indeed, when it came to selling them (in order to buy a house and farm in the country or to help the ICICA) it was a deliberate, if reluctant, choice.
A fair number of major works from Penrose's collection have ended up in British public collections. Between the two national collections in London and Edinburgh, Britain now possesses one of the finest groups of surrealist masterpieces in the world. This is due to a great extent to Penrose and to his enthusiastic championing of that movement in the 1930s and beyond. Today Surrealism is enjoying unprecedented critical attention and popular success. In part, this can be attributed to pioneering shows such as Dada and Surrealism Reviewed, which was shown at the Hayward Gallery, London in 1978. Penrose was one of the advisers for this exhibition and was closely involved in the hanging. But, perhaps, more important is the way that the surrealist technique of collaging together objects that our rational mind separates but which our imagination finds an intoxicating synthesis, has now become an accepted part of contemporary artistic practice.
 Roland Penrose, Scrap Book: 1900–1981, London, 1981, p.60.
 Penrose had helped Ernst, a close friend since 1927, in many ways. He had backed the publication in 1934 of Ernst's collage novel Une Semaine de bonté, had allowed Ernst and his wife Marie-Berthe to stay at his château, Le Pouy, in Gascony in 1935 when they were in dire financial straits, and in 1937 he had funded the publication of a special edition of Cahiers d'Art devoted to Ernst's work. Ernst had acknowledged this debt to Penrose with a dedication to him in the 1937 book: 'Je dédie ce livre à Roland Penrose à la nymphe écho et aux antipodes du paysage.' Penrose had bought several other works by Ernst in the period 1936–7. The special edition of Cahiers d'Art lists a version of Jardin gobe-avions, 1935, and Le Déjeuner sur l'herbe, 1935–6 (private collection).
 Penrose is probably referring to the Cahiers d'Art triple issue devoted to Picasso which appeared in early 1936. Roland Penrose, Scrap Book: 1900–1981, London, 1981, p.68.
 Most notably the collector and art historian, Douglas Cooper, one of the few people Penrose actively disliked. John Richardson in his book The Sorcerer's Apprentice: Picasso, Provence and Douglas Cooper, writes: 'The two Englishmen were very competitive about each other's collections. Douglas dismissed Roland's as "ready-made". "I don't call it collecting," he used to say, "if you combine Picasso's handouts to his surrealist friends with a collection bought lock, stock and barrel from a Belgian."' John Richardson, The Sorcerer's Apprentice: Picasso, Provence and Douglas Cooper, 1999, p.26.
 Roland Penrose, Scrap Book: 1900–1981, London, 1981, p.168.
 Picasso liked to play his friends and admirers off against each other. In the case of Penrose, he usually did so against Douglas Cooper, his arch-rival. John Richardson describes what frequently happened: 'A past master at dividing and ruling, Picasso enjoyed playing these two admirers off against each other and putting their devotion to the test. He would keep Roland, who had come specially from England, waiting for days at a time in Cannes, saying that he was busy with Douglas. Next time, Douglas would be reduced to begging Jacqueline to arrange an audience with the master.' John Richardson, The Sorcerer's Apprentice: Picasso, Provence and Douglas Cooper, 1999, p.234.
 Roland Penrose, Picasso notebook, November 1964 (RPA).
 Roland Penrose, Picasso notebook, 29–31 January 1965. He wrote: 'On m'a demandé cent fois le vendre – des Americains, Kahnweiler et bien d'autres mais j'ai toujours refusé.' [I have been asked hundreds of times to sell it – Americans, Kahnweiler and lots of others but I have always refused.] (RPA).
 Penrose quotes Picasso in one of his Picasso notebooks (31 January 1965) as saying: 'Enfin si je le [The Three Dancers] vends aux anglais c'est à cause de toi – et s'ils désirent l'avoir, c'est toi qui l'a fait.' [In the end if I'm selling it to the English, it's because of you – and if they want to have it, it's you that did it.] Modest and tactful to the last, Penrose added: 'Non, ça c'est impossible, c'est toi qui l'a fait.' [No, that's impossible, it was you who made it.] (RPA).
 In Scrap Book Penrose wrote: 'I always had the feeling that works that had collected around me still belonged in some degree to their authors and whenever asked to lend to serious exhibitions I do so … ' Roland Penrose, Scrap Book: 1900–1981, London, 1981, p.173.
 Dada and Surrealism Reviewed, Arts Council of Great Britain (Hayward Gallery, London), 11 January – 27 March 1978.

Perilipin 2, also known as Adipose differentiation-relation protein or PLIN2, is a lipid droplet-binding protein present in almost every tissue. The absence of PLIN2 upregulates hepatic very low-density lipoprotein secretion, relieves hepatosteatosis, and improves whole body insulin resistance in mice. Despite of the importance in mediating lipid metabolism, the regulation of PLIN2 itself remains largely unknown. Previous reports have shown that X-box binding protein 1 (XBP1) is an important regulator of lipogenesis. XBP1 is a transcription factor that recognizes and binds to a consensus sequence, 5'-TGACGTGG-3'. Interestingly, when we looked through the promoter region of mouse Plin2 gene, we found that the consensus sequence is present in the Plin2 promoter. Therefore, we hypothesize that XBP1 might directly bind to Plin2 promoter and regulate the Plin2 expression.
To test our hypothesis, we will perform the luciferase assay to examine whether the Plin2 promoter activity is regulated by XBP1. We first designed forward and reverse PCR primers, which include BglII and BamHI restriction enzyme sites respectively, to amplify the Plin2 promoter region (from -1100 to +40). We performed PCR and cloned the Plin2 promoter to a TA vector. The TA vector was then sequenced to exclude any point mutations. After sequencing, we sub cloned the Plin2 promoter into a vector containing a luciferase reporter. In the future, we will transfect 293T, a human embryonic kidney cell line, with the Plin2 promoter-luciferase vector we generated. We will compare the Plin2 promoter activity by measuring the luminescence in the presence or absence of XBP1.

From Paramount Pictures, the first teaser trailer for the eagerly anticipated Pet Sematary 2019 remake is here! The film is based on the 1983 novel by Stephen King, and following a much-beloved 1989 adaptation by Mary Lambert. After the ominous poster drop yesterday (pictured below), fiends have been impatiently awaiting our first glimpses of 2019's Creed family, John Lithgow as neighbour and deliverer of foreboding warnings Jud Crandall, as well as everyone's favorite undead cat, Church.
Though only a teaser – clocking in at over two minutes – it does not disappoint. Shaping up to be one of the scariest films' of 2019, Pet Sematary teases a delightful new take on the classic horror. I'm talking creepy masks, makeshift graves, and a heck of a lot of foreboding. "Sometimes Dead is Better." This Creed family will need to stay out of the woods – because it's haunted by something undead, furry, and hopefully still a tiny bit adorable. But I doubt it. Will they be able to keep their children safe? …Again, I doubt it.
Pet Sematary is in theatres April 5th, 2019.


If you get nervous before you fly — you're most certainly not alone. In fact, aviophobia — the fear of flying, affects around 6.5 percent of the population. Although you may be able to avoid flying on a day-to-day basis, there may be a point in time when you need to fly for work, visit relatives, or to go on your dream vacation.
It's understandable why so many people fear flying, as there's little control over one's environment and if something were to happen, there's the fear of not being able to get out of the plane itself. If this sounds like you, no need to worry. In order to shake high stress levels, you can take these easy and effective steps.
Although not everyone suffers from a full-blown phobia, it's estimated that 25 percent of the American population suffers from nervousness before flying. In many ways, the stress you feel is exasperated by your own personal thoughts and emotions. Here's how to tackle anxiety before your flight.
This is a common mistake that so many people with anxiety make — not just while flying, but within everyday life. There's a common belief that alcohol produces a calming effect, when in reality, it makes regular drinkers more anxious. Since alcohol is a depressant, it does relax the central nervous system.
The problem is, while on a plane, if you had one or two drinks at the airport, they're going to more than likely wear off during your flight, especially if it's an international journey. As levels of serotonin change in the brain, symptoms of anxiety worsen. This can last for several hours, so you're best to stick to plenty of water.
Remember, a lot of the emotions you personally experience are based on your own perspective. Don't allow yourself to get overly stressed out, thinking about a range of 'what if' scenarios. Just stay within the moment and make the best of it. Whether you're dealing with a delay or a missed connection, remain calm.
If you are feeling overwhelmed, don't be shy to utilize deep breathing techniques. When you breathe in and out, taking in oxygen, you actually lower your blood pressure and reduce your heart rate. In turn, your body and mind benefit from reduced tension, relaxation, and less severe symptoms of anxiety.
Good company can make all the difference in a scenario like this. While traveling, select company that will not only put you at ease, but also distract you. Go on a trip with a friend that makes you laugh, allowing you to forget why you were nervous in the first place. If you're alone, staring at the back of the seat in front of you, the flight will seem ten times longer.
Music has the ability to influence our brain — this has been seen time and time again. Although music can reduce anxiety, it has also been shown to stimulate memories among Alzheimer's patients — pretty amazing, right? It's been found that music links to our emotions and in turn, has the ability to soothe.
Not only will stress hormones decrease, but music can also slow your heart rate and lower blood pressure. It can also be a great distraction, helping you stay focused. The last thing you want is your mind to wander, and music is great at grabbing your attention.
Within one 2013 study, published in PloS One, it was found that music significantly affects the psychobiological stress system. When listening to music before a stressor, it had the ability to positively affect the nervous system, leading to stress-reducing effects.
If you're ready to take your dream holiday, don't let your fears stand in the way. On average, there are over 100,000 flights a day — so don't allow the odd crash deter you from living and seeing the world. Practice the steps above to reduce anxiety before a flight and within your general life.

Proposed state database would track school threats
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — The Michigan Legislature is considering a number of chances for schools and police agencies aimed at tightening the belt on school safety.
Last week, two bills addressing school security passed out of the Senate Judiciary Committee. House Bill 5852 would create new active-shooter training requirements for police. House Bill 5851 would mandate that school administrators report all threats and attempted violence to state police.
"School safety has really been moved to the top of the education agenda," Larry Johnson, assistant superintendent and executive director of public safety at Grand Rapids Public Schools, said.
Johnson was a part of the work groups that hammered out several school safety recommendations for state lawmakers.
"There's two types of districts: districts that are coming out of a crisis or one that's getting ready to go into a crisis," Johnson said. "Any district is prone to a school safety incident of any magnitude."

What you should know before tattoo removal
Professionally applied tattoos tend to penetrate the deeper layers of the skin at uniform levels. This uniformity allows the dermatologist to use techniques that remove broader areas of inked skin at the same depth.
Professional tattoos with certain new colours and shades are particularly difficult to remove completely.
Amateur tattoos can be more difficult to remove than professional tattoos in most cases.
Recent tattoos are often more difficult to be remove than older ones.
In certain rare cases, complete tattoo removal is not always possible.
Frequently Asked Questions – The doctor provides answers!
Which is the best tattoo removal method in my case?
Tattoo removal with the Q-switch Laser method is the most effective tattoo removal method worldwide.
How much does the treatment cost?
The cost depends on the size of the tattoo, its colour and the depth of ink. For this reason, an initial session is conducted, during which the dermatologist will inform you about everything you need to know. On average 8-10 sessions are required, but each case is unique, making the dermatologist's assessment an essential step in the procedure.
Is tattoo removal painful?
Tattoo removal is tolerable, but if one wants so, a special cream can be used that numbs the area under treatment.
The ALMA Q Laser is now available in Greece
The revolutionary new ultra-modern medical ALMA Q Laser, the best option for tattoo removal, is now available in Greece thanks to Dermadvance. This innovative Medical Device allows for the first-time successful removal of all tattoo colours without scarring or any marks. The new technology of Laser ALMA Q makes quicker tattoo removal in less sessions possible. It is also more effective in treating more difficult cases, such as amateur tattoos that were not created by experienced tattoo artists.
What's new in Tattoo Removal?
Until now, the removal of multi-colouredtattoos was prohibitive, because of the old technology of most tattoo removal lasers (QS ruby laser 694 nm class) that can only remove dark-coloured tattoos, such as blue and black, but cannot remove colours such as red, yellow, and orange. In such cases, usually invasive methods were the only choice, achieving an almost prohibitive aesthetic result, such as deep dermabrasion, which usually causes scarring, or surgical excision.
However, the innovative technology of ALMA Q laser, comes to change what we knew so far, as it can remove tattoos of any colour painlessly and without scarring.
The permanent solution in removing multi-coloured tattoos
ALMA Q gives a permanent solution to the problem of multi-coloured tattoo removal because it is the only, latest technology Q switched laser combining two different wavelengths and two different – but supplementary – Laser technologies in the same device and offers unique and remarkable advantages, including the following:
It allows us to remove tattoos of any colour, even the "prohibited" ones, such as red, yellow, and orange, that older technologies didn't even think to "touch".
It allows us to perform more than one tattoo removal session during the same day, making tattoo removal procedure much quicker.
The possibility of remaining colour or complications, such as post-traumatic scarring, hyperpigmentation, etc. is almost zero as compared to older lasers.
Tattoo removal from persons with dark skin colour, which was a "problematic" treatment option for the "old" Q switched laser, is now achieved easily.
Cutting Edge "2-in-1" Technology exclusively in Dermadvance
A powerful combination of two different laser types (Nd YAG 1064 nm laser, KTP 532 laser) allows the effective switching of the wavelengths by only one device, always focusing on the "target".
The innovative combination of Q switched, Long pulsed and Quasi Long pulsed technologies guarantees impressive results, and demonstrates that this device is one of the most multifunctional tools of its kind.
Despite the fact that these wavelengths pre-existed and their effectiveness was good to date for tattoo removal, the combination in the same device and the ultra-modern technological advances in wavelength emission, make ALMA Q the absolutely innovative Laser for tattoo removal. ALMA Q Laser technology, when used by a specialised dermatologist, allows us to safely "erase" forever a tattoo when it is unwanted.
Dermadvance Dermatology Clinic and the Scientific Director, Dermatologist, Dr. Christos Stamou brought for the first time and exclusively Alma Q Laser Technology in Greece, aiming to offer the most sophisticated and effective technology available for tattoo removal.


Did millions of ineligible people cast votes in the November election?
In this multi-state study, only two of the 42 jurisdictions experienced any suspicious votes. Total number of incidents? Fewer than 30.
• One of those jurisdictions ranks in the top 10 U.S. counties with the most non-citizens. It reported fewer than 10 instances of non-citizen voting in 2016.
• Among the 44 counties with the largest populations of noncitizens, 13 are in California where 23 million voters participated in November 2016. Although the California Secretary of State is investigating some cases of potential fraud, there are no allegations that a noncitizen voted illegally.
Closer to home, the Asotin County (Clarkston) prosecutor has charged two men, both citizens, with voter fraud related to the 2016 election. One man signed his widow's name on her ballot envelope. He thought power of attorney extends to voting; it does not. The other man voted in both Washington and Idaho.
Voters cast 3,363,440 ballots in Washington in 2016. Those two cases represent 0.00006% of the ballots cast.

Baked Chocolate Pudding
Really, it's as much a cake as it is anything else.
From a notebook originally from somewhere in the general area of Sterling, Colorado from the 1930s.
This recipe is from the 46th page of the notebook; here's the page in full (click to enlarge).
Click to expand a longer explanation...
In the words of the seller:
I acquired this book from the great granddaughter of the woman who wrote this book back in a small Nebraska town in the 30's. She belonged to that generation of rural housewives who worked tirelessly to make ends meet and "keep body and soul together" for their families working the farms.
Later addendum:[A]fter a conversation I had with a friend's sister who used to live in North Eastern Colorado, given the type of recipes listed we decided it might be from a small town there, i.e., Sterling or Fort Morgan. Also North Platte or Scottsbluff, Nebraska. Even Cheyenne, Wyoming. If you Google a map of Sterling, Colorado and pull back, you will see all these little towns in that tri-state area.

KIDY strives to perfect news operations and compete to become THE news source for Concho Valley. Under the leadership of TEGNA, additional growth has taken place in the newsroom and technology has received a boost with emphasis on web and social media activities. Sales operations now have the full arsenal of G/O Digital offerings to provide to local clients and continue to grow revenue through an assortment of annual projects. The station is actively involved in numerous community oriented projects throughout the year and believe in giving back to the communities that we serve. KIDY broadcasts the Downtown Christmas Parade live, as well as the ASU Homecoming Parade. The station is a partner with the San Angelo Stock Show and Rodeo, highlighted with a broadcast of the Premium Sale, just to name a few key events.
Sage Broadcasting started KIDY as an independent television station on May 12, 1984. This was the fourth local broadcast station to go on the air in San Angelo, Texas. In 1988, KIDY became a local FOX under STAR Broadcasting. Later, STAR Broadcasting was dissolved and only Sage Broadcasting remained.
On January 1, 2008, Bayou City Broadcasting began operating the station as LMA and on July 31, 2008, became the official owner of KIDY.
In late January 2009, the KIDY analog transmitter suffered a catastrophic transmitter failure and in the last week of January, KIDY started Digital transmission. KIDY petitioned the FCC to cease analog transmission and continue digital transmission and was approved.
In 2011, the KABB-FOX San Antonio news was added at 9 p.m. on KIDY and so the station would have a "news" presence. In late 2011, local 5-minute news updates were implemented to start the 9 p.m. newscast and the San Antonio news was joined in progress.
In 2012, Bayou City Broadcasting upgraded all operations for KIDY to HD making KIDY the first station in the Concho Valley to be full HD.
On January 1, 2013 the station was acquired by London Broadcasting Company. Plans immediately went into effect to improve the physical location of the station, as well as prepare for a full local news launch and staffing was upgraded to achieve revenue goals. KIDY purchased and renovated a bank building in downtown San Angelo and moved into the current location in December 2013.
In late 2013, the race was on to hire a full news and production staff to plan and launch local news programming on January 27, 2014 at 9:30 p.m. in San Angelo. On July 8, the London Broadcasting stations were purchased by Gannett Company, Inc. In August, KIDY developed the concept and debuted a local high school football show: The West Texas Scoreboard. September 22 saw the launch of the 6 p.m. newscast in San Angelo; and on December 1, the 9:30 p.m. newscast on KIDY was moved to 10 p.m. to capture a larger audience share from our competitors. When Gannett split in late June 2015, KIDY became part of the new broadcasting company, TEGNA.
the West Texas region, as well as the latest in regional and national news with a heavy emphasis on social media trending news, events, and activities.

The end-of-financial-year wrap: SmartCompany judges the economy's last 12 months
The last financial year was one with mixed economic results. In February the share market soared above the magic 5000 mark for the first time in a long while, before swiftly crashing back down. The Australian dollar has experienced unusual highs and the country's unemployment rate is tipped to rise.
As businesses are now planning for the new financial year, SmartCompany takes a look back on the highs and lows of the past year and asks experts what to expect for the year ahead.
Sharemarket
Housing Industry Association chief economist Harley Dale told SmartCompany it's been a "tale of two halves".
"Investors didn't really get what they were looking for throughout last year and the most recent part of this past financial year, but in the first couple of months of 2013, there had been signs the market was recovering," he says.
In February the share market exceeded 5000 points, which is often considered a psychological hurdle for investors, but in May the ASX200 lost more than 7% of its value and the decline continued throughout June, wiping out all of the early gains and more.
In mid-June 2013, some positive economic news from the United States buoyed the share market to its biggest single-day gain for the year, rising almost 2%, but this was on the back of four weeks of straight declines, showing the general volatility in the market.
Dale says there have been "a couple of false storms", but largely people have recognised a general upward momentum.
"From late last year there were clear gains in the equity market and the strength is there.
"Now it's a bit wobbly and it's quite an uncertain environment. It's quite difficult to pick the path of the market, but I wouldn't be surprised if we do see some upward momentum and it gets back over the 5,000 mark," he says.
Australia's labour market has experienced two distinct periods within the past year. JP Morgan economist Tom Kennedy told SmartCompany in the past six months the jobless rate has "ticked higher", while in the first six months of the 2012/2013 financial year the employment rate had remained relatively steady.
"There has been a slowdown in domestic growth in the past six months and this has also been reflected in higher rates of unemployment.
"We're currently at 5.5%, but we think it will approach 6% by the end of the year, as the economy starts to slow down further," he says.
In the first six months of the year, the employment rate had stayed low between 4.9% and 5.2%, but Kennedy says the even 6% is still low compared to other developed markets at the moment.
"In the US it's about 7.5% currently, and it's higher again across Europe, so if we peak around this level it's still significantly below other countries.
"But it is a high for the past couple of years and it's starting to approach GFC levels," he says.
Consumer and business confidence
Over the past year there has been a clear distinction between consumer and business confidence. As consumer confidence has started to improve, business confidence has remained flat.
"Consumer confidence has gotten higher as the Reserve Bank of Australia has lowered rates, which improves affordability metrics for people with debt," Kennedy says.
Gains from the share market and improvements in the housing market, with clearance rates in Sydney now at three year highs and Melbourne also tracking well, has also resulted in higher consumer confidence.
"Over the past six months what we've seen is the rate cuts start to filter through and this has helped with mortgage repayments and a boost in the stock market which also helped household wealth. This then translated to consumer sentiment," Kennedy says.
He says while consumer confidence has been on the up, business confidence has remained relatively unchanged in the past 18 months.
"It's sitting around minus 9 to plus two in index terms, which is quite low. The high value of the dollar weighed a lot on the trade sectors and the slowdown in growth over the past few quarters has hit the discretionary sectors, including retailers and even construction.
"This hasn't been apparent in the national accounts because of the strong investment boom and mining-led growth, but it's been shown in business confidence data," he says.
Dale says confidence in the building industry has been particularly low.
"It's still very weak, on the renovations side, activity is at a 10-year low and the new home building sector is still recovering from a recession level of activity," he says.
Housing sector
Dale says while there has been a rise in house prices and improved clearance rates, many businesses involved in the housing sector are still struggling.
"Over the past financial year there has been a bit of a recovery in dwelling prices and there is some information from RP Data out today which shows a 3.8% increase in dwelling prices, but without inflation that's not much of a gain."
"At the same time as this was occurring, there was no growth in spending in renovations, with a projected decline of 5% from what people spent on renovations. This is a $30 billion a year industry and it's pretty much running at a 10-year low," he says.
Dale predicts in the coming year there will be better results in the new-home building market, with "modest growth" projected.
If you've been following the trajectory of the Australian dollar, it's been a wild ride. From record highs, it fell late in the financial year to as low as US92 cents.
Much of the focus has been on the dollar's relation to the US dollar, but it's also fared poorly recently compared to the Euro, Yen and NZ dollar.
Kennedy and Dale both predict it's likely to remain on a downward trajectory, as the RBA has signalled possible lower rates and declining growth rates.
"This suggests the Australian dollar will be weaker," Kennedy says.

The creation of fetishes, effigies, and talismans goes back to the earliest evidence of mankind. The compulsion to make aesthetic objects displays the creative spark that distinguished Homo sapiens form Neanderthals; it is a unique providence of the human mind. First expressed in stone carvings and cave wall paintings from the Paleolithic Period, it has continued throughout the centuries and across all cultures. When mankind is in tune with the natural environment, he is acutely aware of the strengths inherent in other species in order to learn useful survival skills . . . such as the bear for finding healing herbs, the coyote for clever prowess, the deer for evasive tactics. By creating their likeness, the recreation becomes the physical embodiment for the particular characteristic the animal symbolizes for the maker. And, as every creature has it?s unique qualities, so have other elements such as stone, feather and bone, which when added to the fetish increases it?s significance. The object then has become the recipient vessel of the energy given it, spiritual liaison for the bearer, containing the energy. This magic spark can then be called upon when needed, whether it be courage, fortitude, clarity in vision or healing powers. As an extension of this most primal understanding that goes back to the very roots of our being, I feel that all objects of art contain an energy endowed by it?s maker. It is this very mystery I wished to explore in this body of work, and encourage viewers to contemplate. It is partly influenced by those contemporary artists who have reminded me of these mysterious corners of my mind, but mostly by the ancients whose brilliance fascinates and inspires me above all, and on whose shoulders we all stand.

Leap Update: Up and Down the Elevator Five Times
Two decades ago, Fred Ali, the leader of a nonprofit serving homeless youth, walked into the lobby of an imposing downtown Los Angeles office tower and pressed the button for the 30th floor. He got out of the elevator and headed toward the office suite of the Weingart Foundation.
Source: LeapofReason.org
Although Weingart was founded in the 1950s by a humble, self-described "anonymous orphan," it had become an intimidating place for grantseekers. The Weingart board consisted entirely of powerful business leaders, and its decisions had huge stakes for hundreds of nonprofits throughout Southern California.
Before Ali entered Weingart's office suite, he turned around and headed back down the elevator. "I was so nervous," he recalls. "I went up and down the elevator five times before I got up the courage to walk in."
Today, Weingart is a very different place. And that has a lot to do with the fact that Ali now runs the foundation and has built a remarkably diverse team of professionals who've sat on the grantee side of the table

Friday is Valentine's Day, so cue the hearts, flowers, chocolates and bubbly - but what about the movie? The classic Sleepless in Seattle gets a one-day release especially for the 14th but for something more contemporary, nay futuristic, there's Spike Jonze's high-tech spin on romance, Her.
Jonze's vision of the future is a cold, impersonal one - everybody seems to want human contact, but there's very little of it, with relationships conducted at arms' length, if not more. Twombly provides a service for people who don't - or won't - write letters; the people around him in the city rarely interact with each other and when people do embark on something more intimate, it's always doomed to failure. He's recovering from the break-up of his marriage, his first proper date turns into a disaster, and his one real friend, Amy (Amy Adams), breaks up with her partner. Worse still, Twombly is completely oblivious of her feelings for him.
Therefore, a personalised Operating System fills the gap seamlessly. Samantha is Twombly's ideal woman: she understands him perfectly, makes him laugh, anticipates his needs and is unquestioning in her loyalty. After all, when she has the sultry voice of Scarlett Johansson, what's not to like? Their relationship follows a familiar pattern: the initial buzz of falling in love, the descent into deep and meaningful conversations when the thrill starts to fade, and, ultimately, the realisation that the other person isn't perfect after all. In Twombly's case, the final stage is the disillusionment that comes with a harsh reminder that Samantha is a computer, not a person. He's become so wrapped up in their relationship, to the exclusion of anything or anybody else, that he's forgotten the obvious, so the realisation that she's the personal OS to 8,000 people and in a relationship with 500 different men is shattering.
A relationship with what is basically a computer, be it friends or something more, isn't unusual in this vision of the world. As Twombly walks through the city, wearing his ear-piece and talking to Samantha, most of the thirty-somethings walking past him are doing much the same. For all the viewer knows, some of them might also be talking to Samantha as well! His friend, Amy, has become friends with her OS: it's a female one and, as both of them are straight, the likelihood of complications is minimal, and yet not everybody accepts it as the norm. Twombly's ex-wife (played by Rooney Mara) is horrified at his new relationship and sees it as confirmation that she was right to leave him. She probably has a point!
Jonze's screenplay for Her has earned a number of award nominations and is on something of a winning streak. It's a neat and engaging idea, all the more so for being quite feasible (who could forget the Japanese guy that married his videogame girlfriend?), and asks a lot of questions about how people conduct relationships, both on a personal level and online. It also gives the well-chosen cast plenty to work with, especially Scarlett Johansson who acts purely with her voice.
When the end comes, it's abrupt to the point of curt. The OS is shut down, not just for Twombly but for everybody that uses it, and nobody knows why. He's not alone in losing his lover/friend/whatever, although for him and everybody else using the system it feels like it. It also poses a potentially sinister question and leaves it floating in the air: Who is behind the Operating System? Somebody must have developed it and somebody must be running it. The viewer never finds out, and this gives this quirky-yet-charming romance a dark undertone that lingers far longer than the smiles it provokes.
[score=7]There is more to Her than just the eccentric, but it isn't actually on show during the film itself. The movie throws out questions about relationships, both on and off-line, explores some of them, and totally ignores others. Whilst this makes a certain amount of directorial sense, it also creates a level of frustration and gives the sense that there's another version of this story - seen through different eyes - waiting in the wings.

Swimming to Berlin
Two female Syrian swimmers who saved others from drowning while fleeing the war: Their heroic flight from war-torn Syria made the Mardini sisters, Yusra and Sarah, famous all over the world.
Verena Mayer / 22.08.2019
The Mardini sisters, Yusra and Sarah dpa
Two sisters. Their father is a swimming coach; both started swimming at a very young age. They trained, they competed and their lives were like those of lots of children from ordinary middle-class families. Yet there is nothing ordinary about these sisters.
They kept the boat above water
They come from Syria where they had to flee the war. From Lebanon they traveled to Turkey, and from there they crossed the Mediterranean to Greece. When the engine of the inflatable boat they and countless other migrants were crammed into suddenly broke down, they leapt into the sea and helped keep the boat above water for several hours.
They made it to the coast and from there to Macedonia and Hungary and then finally on to Germany, where they caught the attention of the media. Two female Syrian swimmers who saved others from drowning while fleeing the war – their story catapulted the two young women into the global spotlight.
One of the world's most influential teenagers
The girls' odyssey ended in Berlin in 2015, and from that point on the sisters' stories have taken diverging paths. Yusra Mardini is now 21 years old. In Germany, she took up where she had left off in Syria: training to swim. She joined the swimming club Wasserfreunde Spandau 04, where sports officials noticed her and nominated her for the new refugee team that was to compete at the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro.
Yusra qualified and by the time she clambered out of the pool after her races in 2016, she had become an international star and one of the few feel-good stories of the global refugee crisis. She met Barack Obama and the Pope. Time magazine named her one of the world's most influential teenagers.
A special ambassador for the UN Refugee Agency
Yusra is now also a special ambassador for the UN Refugee Agency. She travels the world and takes the stage at events. In one interview, Yusra announced that she wants to use her fame to give other refugees hope. So she tells her story repeatedly, most recently in a book titled after her favorite swimming stroke – "Butterfly" – in which she recounts how her family's home in Syria was caught between the front lines, how their house was destroyed, how a bomb hit their local pool.
After bombs forced the family to move six times in two years, the sisters realized they would rather risk their lives and flee Syria than continue living in a war zone. Their mother then sent her daughters to Europe with a relative. Yusra can still clearly remember sitting with her sister in the plane from Beirut to Istanbul. It was full of Syrians and the cabin crew threatened to arrest anyone trying to bring a life jacket with them. Since fleeing Syria, she has avoided the sea, says Yusra. But she still wanted to keep swimming.

Like many people, I was a little disappointed by some of the glaring omissions from the Apple iPad announcement. However, as somebody who develops for the iPhone platform, I do feel I need to at least get a version of the cheapest model for testing purposes. At least that is what I am telling my CFO ;) But as I think about the decision of buying a first generation device now and realizing Apple will probably release the version I really want next year, I started think about the longevity of the iPad especially compared to a netbook or the Kindle. Even if I upgrade a year from now, I think the iPad's form factor and weight make it increadibly useful for the long hall. As iPad's retire, I can definately see them become dedicated reading devices next to the bed or dedicated gaming devices for the kids. But I can also imagine them being mounted on kitchen walls. Maybe even mounted within a frame to hid the black borders. It could be used to display a calendar, digital photos, the current local weather, a clock or all of the above. In addition, it could be a convient means to store or look up recipes. Hmm... Maybe I should create a Kitchen App.

English Sheep Tries Manuka Honey After Dog Attack
There likely isn't much that breaks our hearts more than stories about herbivorous, cute animals being hurt or attacked by other animals. And yet at the same time, nothing brings us more joy than hearing about those same wounded animals making full recoveries and turning out just fine in the end. Luckily, that is the story coming out of Chiseldon, Wales, and the cute herbivore in question is a two-year-old Herdwick sheep named Eric, who was attacked in May by a lone wild dog and left with a badly damaged leg. As of this past week, Eric has returned home in full health to his brethren.
By word of Swindon Advertiser, Eric ran right into his paddock upon returning home and rejoined his brother Ernie and four other sheep under a tree, and they were keen to greet him with familial sniffs and recognition before they all moved on further into the hilly pasture to go about their old regular routine. By volunteer accounts, Eric appeared to be much more confident than he was before the attack, with the explanation likely being that he spent a good six weeks being cared for alongside a group of orphan lambs.
"I think he spent a few weeks as Alpha sheep," said Claire, a volunteer caring for the sheep. "He will have a limp for a while, and it's possible it might be permanent, but we hope not." Further hope is that Eric's paddock, with its marginally steep slope, will encourage him to use his leg more and help it heal more fully.
The lone wild dog attack on Eric, who is part of a conservation grazing project monitoring many paddocks, was brought to the project volunteers' attention by an anonymous phone call, and they found him with one of his hind legs bitten so badly that the tendon was exposed (there were also bite marks on his face). Due to the severity of Eric's wounds, had he been in a commercial flock, he likely would have been put down. The wound required antibiotic injections and dressings every day, and for the first two weeks, the volunteers treated him themselves with help from vet Mel McPherson. "But we are all volunteers, and trying to catch a fully grown Herdwick sheep is not easy," said Claire. "They also get very stressed when you handle them. Eric was very stressed by the attack, and he lost a lot of weight."
Treatment costs were too high for the group, so they appealed for help and raised more than £1,800 in a few days—meanwhile, when she saw how well Eric responded, Dr. McPherson waived further treatment fees and only charged for medicine. As well in the spirit of community, farmer Niall Jones offered to care for Eric for nothing, and for six weeks he was looked after with a group of seven bottle-fed lambs—who became best friends with Eric, with his wound even being dressed with Manuka honey during this time.
With Eric returned to his herd, volunteer Claire said the remaining donations they received had been set aside by the Washpool Area Restoration Project in a sheep fund to pay for feed and any unexpected future treatments.
