Life has come full circle for high school teacher Trent Lake.
Mr Lake was a graduate of a ground-breaking Indigenous health and education program run for high school students on the New South Wales Central Coast.
Now as a teacher at the Gorkoran High School, he's involved with the 10-year old Ngura program as a teacher.
"I'm honoured to be involved with Ngura again, this time as a teacher, and seeing the changes it makes to the students involved," Mr Lake said.
This week the Ngura program will get an international audience at a conference in Canada.
Central Coast Councils Indigenous Community Development Worker Matt Sonter will present the program at the World Indigenous Peoples Conference on Education in Toronto, which attracts Indigenous education experts, practitioners and scholars.
Health, nutrition, leadership, self-image and goals are central to the program, which also celebrates Indigenous culture and heritage.
At the end of the program, the students receive certificates in Aboriginal history and sport and recreation as well as their bronze medallion for swimming.
Council Group Leader Connected Communities Julie Vaughan said the program was good for the students and the community.
In 2009 it was recognised by the United Nations in the Kinnie Chase Awards for Health and Education and similar programs were picked up by other first nations communities in America and Canada.
Mr Lake said the program gave him confidence and taught him about responsibility.
"It also gave me an understanding of what goals are and how to set them — they aren't served on a platter, you need to work hard and make sacrifices to achieve them," he said.
"I had my heart set on a sporting career and through the program I learnt how to focus on the future through education, which opened up a number of opportunities for me. I was offered scholarships to help further my education and sporting career.

Dear Meryl Streep: No Abled Savior Needed
By Daniel Au Valencia
This article was originally published by Autistic actor Daniel Au Valencia on their blog, Acting NT. The entire text and accompanying imagery are copied here with the author's permission.
Meryl Streep has managed to make headlines by attacking the world's lowest-hanging fruit: Donald John Trump. Apparently it is viewed as an act of bravery to stand up to the most blatantly and visibly racist, ableist, misogynistic, xenophobic, homophobic, transphobic, and all around assholish public figure of modern times. It is especially brave to do so as a wealthy abled white cis woman, in the process of receiving a nationally televised award.
At the Golden Globes ceremony on January 8th, 2017, Meryl Streep received the Cecil B. DeMille Award, and used part of her acceptance speech to dredge up a year-old news item: Donald Trump publicly mocking the mannerisms associated with arthrogryposis, the visible disability of Pulitzer prize-winning journalist Serge F. Kovalevski. I call him that, not because I particularly value awards or titles (I didn't even watch the Golden Globes when it originally aired, and I'm an actor), but because Kovalevski doesn't appear to name himself a member of any disability rights movement, nor focus his journalism on disability topics. Thus a description of him as a "Pulitzer prize-winning journalist" seems to contain far more relevant information than "disabled reporter" does.
As I and many others pointed out over a year ago, referring to the mocking of a disabled person as some unspeakable evil, or as "the final straw" to sever support of Trump's campaign, is actually ableist. Mocking a disabled person qualifies as evil, certainly, but it is not more evil than creating a mandatory Muslim registry like the Nazis did with Jews. It is not more evil than grabbing women by the pussy without their consent. And it is clearly less evil than repealing the Affordable Care Act, effectively killing millions of mostly disabled people, not just making fun of us. Why weren't any of those things the final straw? Why is mocking disability met with greater outrage than actions that are objectively, measurably more harmful, to other minorities and specifically to disabled people? The answer to that question lies in the subtext, something all actors love, within Meryl Streep's rhetoric:
"It sank its hooks in my heart… It was that moment when the person asking to sit in the most respected seat in our country imitated a disabled reporter. Someone he outranked in privilege, power and the capacity to fight back. It kind of broke my heart when I saw it."
The underlying tone, neatly bookended here, is pity. Just as disabled people merely living our lives is inspiring and heartwarming, on the flip-side directly interacting with a disabled person in a mean way is a low blow, kicking someone while they're down. Of course in reality, being disabled doesn't mean we're "low" or "down" in the first place (unless you're literally talking about wheelchairs or dwarfism, neither of which describe Pulitzer prize-winning journalist Serge F. Kovalevski).
Making fun of disabled people is the unforgivable sin of the 21st century, not because ableism is bad – the speech didn't even contain the words ableism, discrimination, or bigotry – but because disabled people are already so tragic and vulnerable. Hiring people who aren't disabled to play us in movies is fine. Taking away our civil rights, that's fine. Literally murdering us, no problem. Just don't point and laugh. Meryl Streep says we lack "the capacity to fight back." While it's true that the president of the United States generally has more power than a given New York Times editor, first of all, Donald Trump hadn't yet been elected to any public office at the time, and second, Pulitzer prize-winning journalist Serge F. Kovalevski can and has responded to Trump in the way that he himself saw fit. There is no abled savior needed to defend him.
Potentially the most troublesome word choice in the speech is when Streep said that Trump "imitated a disabled reporter." Not mocked, imitated. What happened to the old adage "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery"? I seriously doubt that Pulitzer prize-winning journalist Serge F. Kovalevski felt flattered by Trump's childish antics. Meryl Streep, did you mean to imply that acting in the manner of a disabled person is what damned this action, not the fact that it was done for the sake of mockery? When an abled actor plays a disabled character, what's shameful isn't the stolen opportunity, but that a disabled character is portrayed at all? Maybe that's why you didn't even mention Kovalevski by name. He's just "a disabled reporter" to you, stripped of his personhood and of all his accomplishments. You also managed to mention the recently passed, openly bipolar Carrie Fisher, but as "Princess Leia" – neither disabled nor a person! You disrespected them just as much as you deservedly disrespected Trump. As you said in the very same speech, disrespect invites disrespect, so maybe I should call you "shit head" or something instead of Meryl Streep.
As I often say in presentations about autism, two people who are both ableist are always on the same page, even if they say and genuinely believe they're not. If you're a parent using Floortime to manipulate your child into acting neurotypical, you're not some radical revolutionary. You're not special for disagreeing with those in the ABA industry, 'cause actually, you agree with them. You agree that disabled people should not be allowed to be visibly disabled in our mannerisms, and your actions reflect that. If you're a doctor who says that vaccines don't cause autism, but if they did, you'd have to be "monstrous" to still administer them, then you don't disagree with anti-vaxxers. Not when they say being Autistic is worse than having polio. Hey Shit Head, do you think being disabled is inherently shameful? That being visible to the world, with uniquely disabled mannerisms, is shameful? If so, you and a guy who's basically famous for being an asshole are in total agreement.
Image description: Side-by-side photos of Donald Trump (left) and Meryl Streep (right). In comic book speech bubbles, Trump says "I hate disabled people!" and Streep replies "Me too!"
It may seem like I'm over-analyzing a single 1-minute paragraph within a 6-minute speech. That's because that 1-minute paragraph is all Meryl Streep said about disability. The rest of the speech, well, it was a calculated action from beginning to end: After bullying, she segued into asking her audience to support the Committee To Protect Journalists, and indeed there was a reported spike in donations right after the Golden Globes. That's great for journalists and probably needed, but was the fact that Kovalevski is a journalist really the centerpiece to this story? Where is the spike in donations to ADAPT, or Not Dead Yet, or the National Council on Independent Living? With regard to disability, all this Golden Globes speech managed to inspire in its viewers was warm fuzzy feelings. It glossed over everything notable that disabled people did in the last year, and instead used one person as a nameless prop to add egos to the list of things being stroked in a rich abled white people's circle-jerk.
What about the parts of the speech before Kovalevski and Trump?
Before reading any other perspectives, I watched Meryl Streep on YouTube so I could start with my own opinions. She began with what sounded like a speech about diversity. I may not be a comedian, but that should inspire laughter: An abled white woman, delivering a speech, to an audience that is 94% white and 0% visibly disabled, praising that audience for being so diverse. She gave shout-outs to specific actors, and to her credit named their countries of origin including Israel, Kenya, and Ethiopia. But that's only a third of the names she chose. I'm sorry, but four (4) U.S. states, Italy, and Canada does not qualify as "diversity". That's just six (6) white people. To imply that it does reflects denial and rationalization.
Streep made no mention of disability when applauding the diversity of Hollywood. It was as though she did not see the connection within her own speech. No Affordable Care Act. No underemployment of disabled actors. No disability rights advocacy groups. No criticism of ableist movies like Split, The Accountant, and Me Before You, which undermine the work of disability rights groups and fail to employ disabled actors, many of whom are alive thanks to the Affordable Care Act. If there were any invisibly disabled actors in the audience, I don't think they were very impressed with the bravery of Meryl Streep to utterly fail at addressing any of the real issues. I, a disabled actor, am not impressed. I, a disabled actor of color, am not impressed.

How do Vaccines Cause Autism: http://howdovaccinescauseautism.com/
"Even if I humor anti-vaccine activists and for a second believe that vaccines cause autism in 0.01% of children they're administered to (spoiler alert: vaccines don't cause autism), I am still deeply disturbed that these people are more afraid of people with disabilities than they are fatal, painful and endemic diseases. If cognitive disabilities are more threatening to you than children never getting to grow up because polio makes a comeback, you have priorities to reevaluate my friend. Shame on you for brainwashing mothers and fathers into believing that autism is the absolute worst thing that can happen to a person." http://millennialjournal.com/2015/03/24/vaccines-the-fear-of-autism-and-the-globalization-of-indifference/

"Choosing not to vaccinate puts the most vulnerable people in society at risk, especially those who for various reasons can't be vaccinated, and it also feeds the false narrative that autism must be negative, said Morénike Giwa Onaiwu, co–executive director of the Autistic Women & Nonbinary Network.
Essentially, it seems to imply that death is preferable to autism — whether that's the death of one's own unvaccinated child or the deaths of other innocent people whose health was endangered by exposure to others who chose not to vaccinate," she said.
Falsely claiming vaccines cause autism also gives people a way out of actually accepting autistic people, she said.If there's some villainous reason why people are like me, people don't have to acknowledge that autism is a natural, inherent variation of human neurology; that it's a form of diversity in the way that gender and ethnicity are," she told BuzzFeed News."

Autism Occurrence by MMR Vaccine Status Among US Children With Older Siblings With and Without Autism http://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2275444
Breaking new study from JAMA on the lack of any link of vaccines with autism. "In this large sample of privately insured children with older siblings, receipt of the MMR vaccine was not associated with increased risk of ASD, regardless of whether older siblings had ASD. These findings indicate no harmful association between MMR vaccine receipt and ASD even among children already at higher risk for ASD."
"In light of the role of the immune system in these central nervous system (CNS) conditions, the impact of vaccines on childhood-onset neuropsychiatric diseases had been considered and was mainly addressed with regards to the administration of the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine (and its various components) and the subsequent development of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Although the controversy over MMR vaccination and ASD still exists for some members of the public, this association has been convincingly disproven (9, 10)."

"Measles is one of the most contagious and most lethal of all human diseases. A single person infected with the virus can infect more than a dozen unvaccinated people, typically infants too young to have received their first measles shot. Such high levels of transmissibility mean that when the percentage of children in a community who have received the measles vaccine falls below 90 percent to 95 percent, we can start to see major outbreaks, as in the 1950s when four million Americans a year were infected and 450 died. Worldwide, measles still kills around 100,000 children each year."

" In Vaxxed, we learn that a 1994 study performed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) apparently buried the fact that MMR had caused autism in a small subset of African-American boys — a fact that, according to Wakefield, should now exonerate him. How do we learn about this cover-up? One of the CDC researchers involved in that study has now stepped forward to blow the whistle on his colleagues….One problem….When compared with their Caucasian counterparts, African-American boys in Atlanta in 1994 were under-vaccinated. In order to qualify for autism-support programs, this subset of under-vaccinated children with autism had to get vaccinated. In other words, it wasn't that MMR had caused autism; it was that the diagnosis of autism had caused them to get MMR. Not surprisingly, this is never explained in the film."

Cadillac Announces Initial Resource Estimate For Burnt Hill
Toronto, August 18, 2009 -- Cadillac Ventures Inc. (TSXV-CDC) ("Cadillac" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that P&E Mining Consultants Inc. ("P&E") have completed an initial resource estimate for the Burnt Hill Tungsten-Tin Project. The resource estimate was authored by Eugene Puritch, P.Eng, President and co-founder of P&E, who has more than 30 years of resource estimating and mine engineering experience and is a Registered Professional Engineer in Ontario and Saskatchewan. Mr. Puritch is an independent Qualified Person.
The Burnt Hill Deposit resource estimate is based on 44 diamond drill holes on a 60 metre section spacing over a strike length of approximately 500 metres, and a down dip depth of approximately 400 metres, together with 263 channel samples from previously excavated underground workings. The resource was calculated using inverse squared grade interpolation and 5m x 5m x 5m grade blocks.
Drillhole samples taken from the 2007 nine hole Cadillac drill program were analyzed at Activation Laboratories in Ancaster, Ontario. A protocol inserting certified reference material in the analysis batches was undertaken as part of the quality control program. Activation Laboratories is an independent certified assay laboratory.
The resource estimate was prepared using a 2 year trailing average price of US$230 a metric tonne unit ("MTU") for tungsten ("WO3") which derived a cut-off grade of 0.25% WO3 for underground and 0.10% WO3 for open pit portions of the resource. For the underground resource, the cut-off is based on a C$55/tonne operating cost; 85% process recovery and US$0.90 exchange rate. For open pit resource the cut-off is based on C$20/tonne operating cost; 85% process recovery and US$0.90 exchange rate.
The resource estimate, for the open pit and underground, Indicated and Inferred categories is as follows;
INDICATED
WO3
MoS2
SnO2
1.	Mineral resources which are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. The estimate of mineral resources may be materially affected by environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, sociopolitical, marketing, or other relevant issues.
2.	The quantity and grade of reported inferred resources in this estimation are uncertain in nature and there has been insufficient exploration to define these inferred resources as an indicated or measured mineral resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in upgrading them to an indicated or measured mineral resource category.
3.	This press release may use the terms "Measured", "Indicated" and "Inferred" Resources. United States investors are advised that while such terms are recognized and required by Canadian regulations, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission does not recognize them. "Inferred Mineral Resources" have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an Inferred Mineral Resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian rules, estimates of Inferred Mineral Resources may not form the basis of feasibility or other economic studies. United States investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of Measured or Indicated Mineral Resources will ever be converted into Mineral Reserves. United States investors are also cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an Inferred Mineral Resource exists, or is economically or legally mineable.
An NI 43-101 technical report supporting this press release will be available on SEDAR within 45 days of this disclosure. The mineral resources in this press release were estimated using the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (CIM), CIM Standards on Mineral Resources and Reserves, Definitions and Guidelines prepared by the CIM Standing Committee on Reserve Definitions and adopted by CIM Council December 11, 2005.
The table presented above is an initial resource estimate based upon drilling carried out by Cadillac Resources, and sample analysis conducted by previous exploration companies on the project. Cadillac has adequate information and confirmatory sampling to enable the use of this data in the resource estimate. The current resource estimate justifies a further work program to define the Indicated and Inferred resource by drilling certain areas of the deposit where information gaps exist in the currently defined resource.
Burnt Hill has seen intermittent historical production as a source of tungsten, a strategic metal, during periods of conflict that has disrupted other sources of world supply. The property was explored during 1979-80 when existing underground workings were rehabilitated and a new decline ramp was developed to intersect the mineralized zones; a photometric sorter was installed on the property in line with a crushing, screening and sampling plant to test a 14,000 tonne bulk sample. All sample product from that activity was sent to SGS Lakefield for metallurgical testing. Although a historic preliminary feasibility study was completed at the time, work was discontinued following a decline in tungsten and tin prices during the 1980's.

Q: Recommended dual-boot partitioning for Eee PC 1015PX-MU17 My younger brother has a brand-new Asus Eee PC netbook that we'd like to dual-boot Windows 7 Starter (already installed) with Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS. I created a 32-bit LiveUSB and booted it up after some fiddling with the BIOS, but I'm not sure how the partitioning should proceed.
Here's a screenshot of the netbook's current unmodified partitions, via GParted:

I have found this related question on AskUbuntu which talks about some of these partitions. I figure /dev/sda1 is where Windows resides, and /dev/sda2 is the recovery partition. /dev/sda3 seems to be the Windows D:\ drive, which AFAIK doesn't contain anything important, and /dev/sda4 is, according to the other question, needed for the BIOS's "Boot Booster" option giving faster boot times.
I'm still somewhat of a newbie when it comes to Linux partitioning, but here's my question: could I format /dev/sda3 and turn it into an extended partition, then manually set up an ext4 filesystem partition and a linux-swap partition in there using GParted, prior to continuing with a normal install through the installer? Would this be safe (or smart) to do, or would there be some better partitioning scheme you could recommend? I do know that there can only be a maximum of 4 primary partitions on one disk, so something would have to go. As it stands now, the installer only allows me to wipe the whole disk to be used by Ubuntu or specify partitions manually, which is a bit different from what I'm used to.

A: I hope this is an answer to your question. What I would do is the following. It's based on an installation of ubuntu 11.04, but I think that the installation of ubuntu 10.04 will be much alike.
After backuping your data, format /dev/sda3 using Gparted on the Live-USB and keep it unallocated. After the job is complete, exit Gparted and start the installation of ubuntu 10.04. The ubuntu 10.04-installer will recognise the unallocated disk space, and you will have an option to install it just there. Do this. Ubuntu itself will make this ext4 and will divide your free space in partitions like 'filesystem', 'swap', etcetera.
Good luck.

Depends if it was real or fake.
Valid points CriticalStinker, guess I am just an optimist with compassion for the entire species of mankind.
Than I'd advise you not to root for us intervention.
Saddam was a dictator who also abused his people and chemical attacked innocent humans.
He absolutely was, especially if you criticized him.
But they had an infrastructure, function schools, hospitals and even pretty broad access to the internet in the cities. From all appearances other than politically they weren't a 3rd world country.
Now it's a scarred bullet laced ruin of a country that used to be. And I'm just using that as one example.
Wanting good for humanity and saying the US needs to have a role in it outside of our own country (hell maybe even in ours) is a contradiction.
So let me ask, where have we helped recently?
We even quagmired a humanitarian effort in Haiti, billions of dollars and no running water or permanent shelter. That wasn't even a military operation.
So where have we improved quality of life with our military in the past twenty years?
But they are saying there is possible proof Assad is not doing fine by his people.
You believing what you hear from the media and the UN is what's delusional.
Syria has been a basket-case for decades. Ruled by brutal dictators and now controlled by Iran and Russia. Not a great deal of hope that the average Syrian will have a good life even if the violence and the civil war can be resolved.
The only hope for Syria is for Assad to go and for a period of stability to be imposed. Then elections and a huge rebuilding effort. Russia won't like that and Iran hates elections.
Don't forget their #in lap dog Britain! #ed up your country too 106 yrs ago and murdered loads of your people. #in hate my own country now I'm aware of what it's done to Planet earth......................... HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Absolutely not, but you're missing my point.
Look at life there now. His popularity is higher than ever because of our mistakes. What do you think that's going to do for the future of their country when we created such a disdain for "democracy" that we made tyranny look appealing because at least they had functioning infrastructure?

The 17th World Congress of the Fourth International (2) – fightbacks and alternatives
Posted on June 15, 2018 by irishmarxism
Photo: Attac
The second majority text 'Social upheavals, fightbacks and alternatives" notes that the struggles by different groups in society for democratic rights, including the 'global justice' movement, takes place – "in a situation where an "international workers' movement" no longer exists."
It goes on to say that "refusing the consequences of capitalist policies does not automatically provoke an anticapitalist consciousness. The social identity of workers does not create a class identity as such." It asks "what is the capacity to include these struggles in a strategic political programme of radical challenge to capitalist society, the oppressions it has created or restructured?"
Again, as in the first document, the text starts from movements outside the main working class movement and considers its needs rather than from the working class itself, its class interests and its struggles.
Here, however, this is not the main point I want to make, for the weakness is less prominent in this text. The paragraph quoted contains important truths, including that "refusing the consequences of capitalist policies does not automatically provoke an anticapitalist consciousness. The social identity of workers does not create a class identity as such." (If we interpret the latter as a real socialist consciousness.)
The document correctly notes the numerical increase in the world working class, which rather raises the question how this could have happened without much expanded capital accumulation, and since the first document describes the world situation as one of permanent crisis and is unsure whether we have been living in a long period of stagnation.
Yet, while noting that wages have stagnated in the old industrialised countries it cannot deny that in new areas of production, and especially in China, real wages have increased. Again, however, we have the curious counter-position of state and corporate power, as if they were in some sort of opposition when it comes to workers' rights.
And again, it is unclear what processes it thinks are going on. For it states that:
"The overall picture is that of a world undergoing massive changes in many regions with an increase of the number of wageworkers bringing about significant social upheaval. This is happening at a time when economic development is not occurring alongside nation-states developing structures and services able to ensure better living conditions. Exactly the opposite in most cases; we observe a worsening of daily living conditions in many ways, aggravated in many regions by war and climate change."
Yet it also states that:
"Quantitatively, the working class is constantly growing. It should be noted that its centres of growth have strongly shifted to Asia, probably tomorrow to Africa. In these areas the development of trade-union forces follows numerical growth, the growing social weight of wage workers, lay the bases for class consciousness but in general they do not have the strong political structures that provided a political backbone to the European labour movement, although the contradiction in that model was to often to delegate 'political' questions to political parties."
"Powerful workers' struggles are still taking place not only in the old industrial countries, in Latin America, but also in South Africa and Sub-Saharan Africa, in Turkey, in the Indian Subcontinent, and in Asia."
"But in the era of globalization the need for trade unions to take up broader issues including racism, all forms of discrimination and housing has become greater and a spur to radicalization."
From this it proposes a number of tasks for trade unions, including:
"to take into account the reality of precarisation in all its forms and therefore stimulating and creating the structures to organize all those concerned, in particular by the development of structures beyond enterprises, in the zones of industrial activities, neighbourhoods and localities" and "the imperative need to co-ordinate this organizing on an international scale, relying on the actual networks of the production chains in which the workers are competing against each other. "
It also proposes "the pressing need to create, out of the struggle for rights, a class identity providing resistance movements the programmes necessary to challenge the capitalist structures of society and to carry through a project of overthrowing this system."
It does not however take on board and develop the remark in the first majority document, that it is necessary "to find more permanent forms of action", seemingly a recognition that the creation of working class identity, class consciousness and organisation is not simply a result of episodic struggle, and not even of the lower level of continual struggle that is inevitably "reformist" in character, and often too summarily dismissed by 'revolutionaries.'
Here, it must be noted that trade unions are not a "permanent form of action" in the sense of an international movement, although this is an objective to aim for. As representatives of fragments of the working class, and not the whole, engaged in sectional struggles that can only temporarily push back against the competition of workers as they sell their labour power, they are engaged in "guerrilla fights" as Marx put it, and not against the wages system as such, although they can be schools for such a struggle.
Such a criticism may seem premature and inaccurate, because immediately following the identification of the need for struggle and resistance movements there is a section on just such a mode of self-organisation that may be permanent, one with the potential to advance and secure working class consciousness and organisation – workers' cooperatives.
The document notes the rise of production cooperatives as part of workers' and peasants' resistance to economic crises, and it notes correctly that "these experiences, albeit limited, put forth the question of control, of workers taking back the means of production, and also the choice of production linked to social needs." In other words, they provide the material foundation for the working class to appreciate the need for, and their capacity to create, the basis of a new society in opposition to capital and its state.
Unfortunately, the lessons of the experience referred to are not developed, so their role in a transition from capitalism and their potential to form a transformational mechanism to socialism is not appreciated. A different document submitted as part of the debate does however directly address the question and we shall discuss this in a later post.
Instead however, we again have a focus on the tasks of the small revolutionary left, its concerns and its potential for growth, rather than an analysis of the development of the working-class movement as a whole and how Marxists can play a part in this development.
Without this development, not at all reducible to the influence of small groups or to Marxism as a set of ideas or political practice, there is no viable perspective for this Marxism or its adherents.
The failure of such an approach is reflected in the acknowledged frustration of the small revolutionary organisations (SWP, SSP, LCR/NPA) and the organisations of the world justice movement (WSF and ATTAC). It is noted once more that "Struggles for democracy and social justice as such do not automatically lead to a struggle for the overthrow of the systems of oppression."
So, it is impossible to understand why in the same section it is stated that "we must address new challenges in the construction of an international revolutionary movement, an anti-capitalist movement based on the defence of rights and social justice."
The failure of the perspective of attempting to build revolutionary organisations out of struggles for "democracy and justice" is hardly surprising. In my series of posts on Marx's alternative to capitalism (starting here) I have begun to point out the contradictions within capitalism out of which its overthrow and replacement can be built. Such an alternative understanding of Marx and his approach is not the basis of the perspectives put forward by the FI for building a working-class party.
The third majority document addresses the role the Fourth International sees for itself, the tasks it should set itself and is the subject of the next post.

How to Get Paid Faster with Invoice Factoring
If you want to get paid faster, you may have come across a financial tool called invoice factoring, also known as third-party invoice factoring. Businesses use invoice factoring to accelerate their cash flow. By using an invoice factoring company, you're paying a fee to get your money faster, while avoiding the trouble of taking out a small business loan. Does invoice factoring make sense for your business?
Invoice Factoring Basics
Invoice factoring companies refer to the business that owes money as the "debtor." (In this case, your client.) The business with accounts receivable is called the "client" (that's you), and the third-party factoring company is often referred to as "the factor." Factoring companies will, however, buy invoices at what they call a "discount," which is their fee for accelerating cash flow.
Why would a company use invoice factoring?
Tony Neglia, president of Stonebridge Financial Services, says that businesses might opt to use an invoice factoring company because the debtor might have terms of 30, or 45, or even 60-plus days. "Small business owners often can't wait that long to get paid," he says. So the factoring company will give their client an advance of 80%, and then the debtor pays the factoring company. When the factoring company gets paid, they send the remaining 20% to their client, less their factoring fees. Getting that money as quickly as possible can be "very important to a small business," Neglia adds. "If you have employees, you have to make payroll." You wouldn't typically see companies using a third-party factor for a one-off transaction. According to Neglia, "The factoring company and the client have a close relationship," and the client is usually submitting invoices regularly, sometimes as often as every day.
Is the COVID-19 pandemic making invoice factoring more popular?
In the wake of the novel coronavirus, Neglia says, "I think I've seen a little more volume. Businesses have slowed down their invoice payment, and I think it's causing businesses to seek out factoring more. But we're being careful – we're getting business because clients have customers who can't pay their invoices. If the debtor is slowing down payments, the factoring company might not want to fund that invoice. They're not candidates for factoring." Remember that you should only use a third-party factor if you're working with reliable debtors. "We only fund account debtors who are solid, and we do credit checks," Neglia says. "We want to make sure they pay their invoices."
What's the difference between an invoice factoring company and a collections agency?
"A factoring company is different in that it is collecting invoices that are not necessarily past due, or 'bad,'" says Neglia. And factoring companies serve only to accelerate cash flow—they do not take on credit risk. The client must repurchase their invoice from the third-party factoring company if the invoice is not paid after 90 days. At that point, a business owner might choose to pursue their unpaid invoice with a collections agency, file a claim in a small claims court, or hire an attorney.
Should I use invoice factoring?
Invoice factoring is useful to companies that have a lot of invoices, and who need payments quickly to operate. Many freelancers will find that they're better off waiting to receive their full amount, but should also make sure to have contracts in place that set clear payment terms. Net 30 days is standard, although you're free to negotiate a shorter timeframe. Make sure you have a contract with your client that includes language about assessing late fees and don't be shy about following up on unpaid invoices, perhaps with a letter from your attorney, or a boiler-plate collections form with an attorney's signature. Depending on the amount, you might want to pursue the matter in small claims court or consult with an employment attorney.

Winnipeg raises flood gates before Red River crest
Thursday, April 9th 2009, 11:42 am
WINNIPEG, Manitoba (AP) -- Floodway gates were raised in Winnipeg on Wednesday as the western Canadian city braced for the swollen Red River to crest.
Authorities predicted water levels could rise to just over 19 feet Thursday in the first of several surges expected at Winnipeg during the next few weeks. The gates divert water into the Red River Floodway, a huge ditch that carries water around the city.
"The next 48 hours will be a critical time period as the ice begins to melt," said Steve Aston, emergency measures minister for Manitoba province. He said the floodway was expected to hold the river level at 18.5 feet.
A spokesman for the Manitoba Water Stewardship, Steve Topping, said officials were watching ice on the river, which is not moving as it should be. He said the increased risk of ice jams could cause localized flooding.
Although the north-flowing Red River has not risen in the province to the crest of up to 43 feet seen in Fargo, N.D., over the past few weeks, a lot of farmland in southern Manitoba has been inundated.
One of the hardest-hit areas is near the small community of St. Jean Baptiste.
"Well, we're kind of used to flooding around this area," farmer Eric Sabourin said with a chuckle, keeping his humor despite having two-thirds of his fields turned into a lake.
He said flooding hadn't been as bad as he first feared and his home was safe.
Other communities appeared ready for the river's crest, with sandbagging nearly complete and temporary dikes put up around vulnerable areas.
Most residents of the flood-prone Roseau River First Nation near the U.S. border stayed at home, encircled by a dike.

Individuals who have just finished high school, or are pursuing a Bachelor's degree, or are thinking of doing their Masters after working for many years, can opt for a student loan to help cover the expenses that they may not be able to afford by on their own.
Having poor credit or no credit does not pose any problems with regards to availing a student loan. Most students tend to borrow funds for educational purposes, and hence lenders do not penalize them for not starting their credit as yet.
Students need to remember that student loans are a financial transaction and that it comes with a binding contract between the lender and the borrower (students). When you take out a student loan for education, it is advisable to borrow only that amount that is need for education and nothing above it. This is because students will have to pay back the loan along with applicable interest in the future. It is also important to note that you have to research and find out all aspects of student loans offered to you, such as the manner in which interest accrues on the loan, the availability of grace period post graduation, and the different forms of repayment options that will be available after graduation, etc.
The two types of student loans are federal loans and private loans.
Interest rates are fixed and range from a little over 5 percent for undergraduate courses to over 6.5 percent for graduate studies.
APRs may begin from 3 percent, but it is advisable for students to opt for a co-signer to get the best terms and rates.
Students can take private loans to meet the difference between the loan passed by federal programs and the total cost of education. This may be varied things like cost of books, housing, fees, cost of tuition, and other education-related expenses.
Education is often the second biggest life expense after buying a house. Hence, it is vital for students to shop around, search extensively, and find a student loan that is right to your unique requirements. Since student loans can be a huge sum of money, even a minor different in the terms and interest rate can help save thousands of dollars over the course of the loan.
Find out the total cost of education, including tuition fees, housing, books, supplies, etc.
After you find the right one, apply along with required documents like driver's license, social security number (SSN), current income tax return of parents (if needed), latest income tax return, statements concerning business activity, bank statements, and legal documents of residency (if applicable).
The lender will revert in around two weeks. Once you get approved, thoroughly read all the student loan documents to confirm whether the terms and rates are as per your expectation, sign on the dotted line, get the loan certified by the school, and get the loan disbursed to you as a lump sum or in many smaller amounts over a period of time.


The office of the Public Fiduciary was established by the 1974 legislature to serve as a "fiduciary of last resort" for individuals and decedents' estate in need of guardianship, conservatorship, or public administration where there is no person or corporation qualified and willing to act in such capacity. Most of the clients of the Public Fiduciary's Office are indigent or have limited assets.
Guardianship and/or conservatorship is appropriate only when a person is unable to manage his/her person or property, and consequently is in danger of abuse, victimization or substantial danger to health. If these elements can be proven by clear and convincing evidence in court, the person may need a guardian and/or conservator to make decisions for him/her.


When constructing a new house or renovating it, the basic factor a person considers is the designing and style of their building. Nowadays, there are so many designs and styles available that a person gets confused about which one he should choose. But one should choose a design which is elegant and functional. Glass products are great in enhancing the look of the building as they provide an elegant look to the house being functional as well. In this article, we will discuss a few glass solutions in Sydney which you can incorporate during the renovation or construction of your home or office and its benefits.
The first and foremost benefit is the beautiful look they provide. They are transparent and classic; if you install them in your house they provide a beautiful and elegant look to it. They are transparent and this property allows visual connection with the outside world. Moreover, the short wavelength of light of sun passes through it and keeps the house enlightened which will save you energy and in the long run, you will be saving a lot of money.
You may think that it can be harmful because UV rays could also possibly pass. But the infrared or UV rays are unable to pass through the glass. So it will also save you from the harmful rays of the sun. In addition, there are many types of glass available in the market. If you want to keep the temperature of your home unchanged due to the atmosphere outside, you can buy lower U-value glass, it will keep heat or cold outside.
Some people do not prefer transparency so its transparency can be removed permanently by adding mixture in the making of glass. By the advent of technology clear glass panels used in buildings can be made opaque. There are many colorful and designed glasses available in the market. You can choose any of them according to your needs and demands. Another great benefit of glass is that they are strong and recyclable. So you can take a good step in making the environment better by installing these products.
Here are a few glass solutions in sydney which you can incorporate in while constructing your house. They can be used in patio doors. If your budget is tight, patio doors are cost-effective and can still make all the difference. There are plenty of off-the-peg options that won't break the bank. And, if you need a set of doors that aren't a standard size, some manufacturers can construct them to meet your requirements.
Glass sliding doors are also available in the market. They offer clear views, and several sections can stack up, one behind the other, to create a vast, open space. If you have a flat-roof extension, it's possible to replace the entire roof with glass. This is really popular and effective, and is not usually much more expensive than other roofing options. Glass can also be used for pool fencing. Due to its transparency, you can see what is happing inside the pool and if you are enjoying the swim, you can keep an eye on your home. Hope this article proves to be helpful to you in this regard.

Should you wait for the Yaris Cross?
We are now well into the age of electrified Toyotas; year-to-date for 2020, Toyota New Zealand (TNZ) has sold more hybrid cars and SUVs than petrol or diesel ones.
With petrol-electric technology positively charging across TNZ's mainstream models, it's almost a given that if you're buying a new Toyota passenger vehicle, you'll look at the hybrid option first. It's no longer a left-of-centre choice for people who grow their own soap.
That's partly because hybrids appeal to the bit of the brain that looks after the bank account; they're about 30 per cent more economical than their petrol-only equivalents.
Read More: How the new Yaris hybrid is killing a 20-year Toyota icon
But we'd like to think it's also because after 20 years practice, Toyota also now knows how to use hybrid technology to make a car better to drive. This is certainly true of the C-HR compact crossover.
Toyota made a huge effort with the C-HR at launch in 2017; it was a clear signal that the company wanted to make interesting cars again.
There was polarising style (but that's a good thing, right?) and real attention to detail inside: from a company known for sharing components across multiple model ranges to keep costs down, the C-HR had bespoke switchgear and even a gear selector with cool-to-the-touch alloy trim.
The then-new TNGA platform also impressed for its strength and handling prowess.

So there was some really good stuff. But the sole powertrain chosen for NZ was disappointing: a 1.2-litre turbocharged four with continuously variable transmission. Perhaps it was the expectation created by the massive "turbo" badge on the flanks, but it felt pretty breathless.
Or rather "feels" breathless, because that engine continues. However, with the facelift 2020 C-HR (new front bumper, new tail lights, phone projection) comes a hybrid engine option that saves over 2l/100km in fuel consumption, while also adding driver appeal.
Seriously? Yes. This is not exactly new-gen hybrid technology: it's basically the powertrain from the Corolla hybrid (and therefore the previous generation Prius), which means a nickel-metal hydride battery pack rather than the lithium-ion of the new Yaris hybrid.
But it's a proven setup and it really works for urban driving. We've tested a brace of C-HR hybrids (entry and flagship) back-to-back-to-back with a standard petrol model, and the more muscular power delivery of the electrified model off the line in traffic is obvious. You're conscious of the petrol car working hard, whereas you just relax and enjoy the hybrid.
The hybrid system can still only travel for short distances on pure-EV power, but it's a case of little and often – and that works brilliantly in the city. The official combined fuel economy figure is 4.3l/100km and in a week of Auckland CBD commuting (no open-road stuff at all) in our first C-HR hybrid I managed 4.8l/100km, easy.
In the second car I ranged a lot further and went faster, but it still stuck resolutely to 5.5l.
The dynamic aspect of the C-HR still scores. A CVT is never the enthusiastic driver's friend, but the hybrid is only 20kg heavier than the petrol C-HR and so it retains a faithful and predictable cornering stance. If we're talking nuance (to be honest, we're probably not with a car like this) you could argue the hybrid is better, because the extra weight is within the wheelbase, tucked under the rear seat.
The hybrid is FWD only at this stage. If you want a C-HR AWD, you'll have to go for the 1.2-litre Limited model. It's still $1500 cheaper than the hybrid Limited, so it's tempting. But still… no.
What a shame a hybrid powertrain can't give a compact SUV a better rear seat.
Another problem with C-HR from the start was that the rear accommodation falls victim to the sleek styling. Or rather, the sleek styling murders the rear-seat accommodation with extreme malice.
It's hard to reach the doorhandles, you can't see much out of the side windows (if you can call them "windows") and children can feel unwell almost immediately once you set off.
So the C-HR is pretty much a two-person vehicle. If you have kids (or grandkids), might pay to wait for the Yaris Cross SUV.
There's not a lot to choose between entry and Limited grades. The base car is still well kitted-up and it doesn't even look a whole different – unless you go for the two-tone colour scheme that's only available on the Limited.
The flagship model gets its own style of alloy wheel (no bigger though - still 18in), low/high LED headlights, leather-accented heated seats, slightly more glitzy cabin trim and a panoramic camera system for parking. You can decide whether that appeals for an extra $3000.
Safety is strong whatever you choose in these days of Toyota Safety Sense (TSS): all C-HR models have Pre-Collision System, Autonomous Emergency Braking, all-speed adaptive cruise and Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist. Blind Spot Monitor and Rear Cross Traffic alert are also standard.
If you're being impossibly rational about it, you'd have to drive a C-HR hybrid 150,000km to recoup the extra $3k asked over a standard petrol model. But you're getting a much better car to start with – and with the likely superior residual values of petrol-electric Toyotas going forward, we reckon the hybrid is a no-brainer.

Also, I feel bad for all you students that you can't go and watch Captain Marvel!
Exams days, however, are filled with much more serious issues than missing out on Captain Marvel or a friend's birthday.
Listed below are some of the most common problems faced by students during exams.
What a pain these two things become! It's when your exams near that you realize how bad the idea of bunking the classes was. You now have to attend classes and maintain attendance but staying at home and studying is equally necessary.
Also, there is that one day when you are called at your institution just to collect a piece of paper commonly referred to as Admit Card. The whole concept of traveling all the way from home and standing in long lines for hours seem so absurd, especially when you got a whole lot of syllabus to study!
That too in this technological era.
Let me say it for you, group studies is a myth. Yes, if you think you would study better with your friends then please know that you would end up just wasting your time and studying nothing. Some would comfort you by telling they are even behind you with the syllabus and others would just distract you.
with the syllabus and others would just distract you.
Also read: How to do preparations for board exams?
Sleep becomes the worst enemy during exam time. All you can think of is sleep and yet it is an unachievable treasure, just like your syllabus.
Either the above mentioned would happen, or the entire opposite –you would end up falling asleep every time you open your textbooks. One thing is clear –in the battle of syllabus and sleep, only one can win.
You would start from thinking of doing a chapter per day and land on the thoughts of one book per day. The days pass by and the amount of syllabus to be done remains constant until the last day, disrupting all your equations.
YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, Whatsapp, Television, Netflix, Amazon Prime, everything would be there to lure you and win you over. They would take the form of a temptress, and make sure you can't study in peace.
Your hunger and your diet keep fluctuating. Sometimes you are so stressed that you skip out on all your meals. Sometimes you are even more stressed and end up eating whatever is there in your refrigerator.
Sometimes you are alive only on coffee and sometimes you are forced to live only on fruits and dry fruits on the demands of your mother.
And of course, midnight Maggi rendezvous.
This kind of irregular eating pattern affects your body and mind during exam days.
Also read: How to deal with exam stress?
If there are friends who comfort you by telling how far behind they are of you, there are many others whose feats are enough to give you stress.
In addition, there are parents and relatives who keep pressurizing and fearing the students in the name of future and career. This result in many serious outcomes.
Also read: How parents should deal with their children's bad result?
We all become the cousins of Hamlet during exam days, procrastinating as much as we can. Procrastination, by the way, is something which we practice the whole year, it's just that it gets accelerated during the days of examination.

Black Education: A Quest for Equity and Excellence
Vendor: Willy Demarcell Smith
This highly focused collection of papers, commissioned by the National Urban League, offers a candid and courageous portrait of black education in transition. This is a period, as the editors note in their opening remarks, that is characterized by a huge shift from federal responsibility for minority education to authority and autonomy being lodged at the local government level. Further, many institutions that once worked well, no longer do so. Many ambitious social programs and policies that originally promised much, have been abandoned, have failed, or just faded away. Pivotal to these times and changes is the question of the extent to which the American educational system has been, or still is, capable of being responsive to incorporating and even instigating equity and excellence for black Americans. This volume asks the hard questions: is the educational system geared up for the maintenance of anything other than mainstream values? can it adapt to minority youth requirements? when, why, and how do educational policies of majorities and minorities clash? How are priorities to be established-on the basis of wealth or need? The legal statutes and administrative enforcement of equal educational opportunities are explored in depth and with a deep compassion for all parties involved.

How to Make an Antenna Tower Into a Tilt Over Tower
By: Grahame Turner Updated April 12, 2017
How to Make a PVC Arch
The tilt over tower is a sturdy construction designed to withstand winds and get your antenna up in the air for your ham radio set-up. They are a simple construction, and hold sturdily to the ground because of its twin base design. Converting your old antenna set up to a taller tilt over set-up can cost you a fair amount of money, and does require a bit of work, but it can be worth it for the added range.
Dig a 6-foot deep, 3-foot wide hole in the ground with a shovel. Place the hole near your radio shack or set-up, close enough that you can attach the antenna to it.
Dig a post-hole in the bottom-center of your hole. Dig it three feet deep and insert the earth anchor into the bottom of it, so that a foot extends into the hole.
Wrap the #4-gauge wire around the earth anchor, and bring it the remaining wire up to the top of the hole. Hold the wire down with a rock so that it does not fall in.
Cut two 1-foot lengths of 4 1/2-inch pipe. Repeat on the other 4 1/2-inch pipe so that both are the same length. These become sleeves to reinforce your pipe material, and the remaining pipes become your upright supports.
Slip two of these sleeves onto the 4-inch pipe. Place one sleeve at the end and the other exactly halfway up the post.
Lay the two upright base posts side-by-side, about 4 1/2-inches apart. Place the 4 1/2-inch pipe between the two, so that the top of the center-most sleeve meets the top of the two upright posts. Place the two remaining sleeves between the two upright posts to act as spacers, one at the bottom, and one 4-foot from the bottom.
Drill through the sleeves at the middle, and drill corresponding holes on both of the uprights, so that you can bolt all the way through these posts.
Insert the bolts through the lower two sleeves and keep them in place with the nuts and lock washers. Leave the upper pair of sleeves unattached for now.
Insert the upright posts into the hole, and make them level.
Cut the hog wire into 5-foot square sections, roughly, and ball them up and stick them into the hole. This not only reinforces the concrete but also keeps the posts upright. Use up the entire mesh fence to keep the posts upright.
Verify that the posts are still level.
Insert the remaining anchors into the mesh, with the tops level with the ground. They should be at least 1-foot away from the uprights, and positioned between the posts. These will become pulley anchor points.
Mix the concrete and pour it into the hole to cover the bottom earth anchor, hog mesh and 6-feet of the two upright posts. The tops of the two top-most anchors should remain visible. Recheck that your posts are level periodically. Leave the concrete to dry according to its directions.
Insert the narrowest aluminum pipe 2-feet into the next narrowest. Drill from the top through both sections of poles about 6-inches from the join, and from the left to the right side about 18-inches from the join. Repeat with the next-narrowest pipe, and again with the 4-inch pipe. These create sort of sleeves along the height of your antenna mast.
Drill through the 1-foot sleeves of 4 1/2-inch pipe at the top, from the top to the bottom.
Insert a bolt through each of the holes drilled at these sleeves. Bolt and lock these into place.
Tie a small rock to a piece of rope, and tie the other end of the rope to your antenna cable from your ham setup. Lift the mast as far as you can so that the rock falls through to the top and brings the rope and cable through.
Pull the rock at the other end to bring the antenna cords through to the top. Attach your antenna to the top of the mast according to the directions on your packaging.
Lift the end of the mast and position it between the two upright posts so that the holes on the sides of the sleeve line up with the holes at the top of the upright. Push the bolt through and loosely bolt it into place.
Place the iron bracket across the two uprights, so that it is below the top section of the mast. Drill through this piece and bolt the bracket into place. This will stop your mast from going too far when you raise it.
Raising the Mast
Attach two pulleys to the earth anchors.
Run rope through the two pulleys. Stand so that the top of the mast is on your left, and the bottom is on your right. Tie a rope from the left-hand pulley to the right-hand end of your mast, and vice-versa.
Pull the other ends of the ropes to lift your mast to its upright position, with the help of as many people as you can get. This is a heavy project, and likely, one you should not do on your own. Be very careful to lift or pull with your legs, not your back. If you cannot pull this up on your own, attach the ropes to a truck for more pull.
Bolt the bottom sleeve to the sides of the antenna using the remaining 16-inch bolt set.
Bolt the box from your antenna kit to the front of the mast.
Three 6-by-4 earth anchors
10-feet #4-gauge grounding wire
1.6 cubic feet of concrete
Two 20-by-4 1/2-inch schedule 40 aluminum pipe
Metal cutting saw
Drill with 1/2-inch metal-cutting bit
20-by-4 inch schedule 40 aluminum pipe
Four 16-by-1/2 inch bolts with nuts and lock washers
30-foot of 5-foot hog wire mesh fence, 3/4-inch mesh
20-foot by 3-1/2-inch schedule 40 aluminum pipe
20-foot by 3-inch schedule 40 aluminum pipe
Five 5-by-1/2 inch bolts with nuts and lock washers
24-by-2 inch angled iron bracket.
The beauty of a tilt-over design is that you can take the tower down between uses. You will need to perform a similar operation to raise it each time, but it can be taken down and covered during severe storms or harsh winters. Follow the directions for putting the mast up, in reverse, to take the mast down.
Do not work on this project during any type of inclement weather. If a storm occurs, you are more likely to be hit by lightning when standing next to a giant metal spike.
