UQ scholarship holder roars with pride
Bachelor of Exercise and Sports Sciences student and AFL Women's (AFLW) rookie Natalie Grider was just a toddler when the Brisbane Lions won three consecutive AFL premierships between 2001 and 2003.
While the Lions have had little to celebrate since, Grider remained a loyal supporter of the club and dreamt of one day wearing the Brisbane jersey.
Her dream came true in February this year when the 18-year-old debuted for the Lions during the club's round-four AFLW victory over the Western Bulldogs at Whitten Oval in Melbourne.
Grider wasn't expecting to play that day, but was thrust onto the big stage after Lions captain Leah Kaslar withdrew from the match through injury one hour before the bounce.
The young defender said while it wasn't the ideal preparation, she would always treasure that moment.
"I had a pretty different debut experience to most of the other girls because I didn't know I was playing until just before the match started," said Grider, who was drafted with the Lions in October last year.
"I remember one of our coaches saying to me: 'When you walk out on the field, don't put your head down. You're only going to experience your first game once. Just look around and take everything in'."
Grider played two AFLW matches in 2019, and was named in the starting side in the Lions' final match against Collingwood at Victoria Park in Melbourne.
While Grider could not imagine representing another club, she admitted she could just as easily have supported a Melbourne-based club if her parents had their way when she was young.
"My family moved to Melbourne for a few years not long after I was born. My mum's a St Kilda fan, and dad supports Carlton," Grider said.
"Dad would take my sister and me to Carlton training sessions while we lived in Melbourne – I think he was trying to force that upon us. But we both stuck with Brisbane and I have loved the Lions since I can remember."
Grider said she always enjoyed contact sports growing up. She tried her hand at water polo, but it was on the Australian Rules field where she excelled – winning junior premierships with the Jindalee Jags, representing Queensland and being named captain of the under 18s Women's Lions team.
While the Brisbane local always hoped she would one day play professional football, she did not foresee the AFLW becoming so popular across the country.
"I'm so excited about where the competition is heading," she said.
"The scenes from the Adelaide Oval, where more than 53,000 watched the Adelaide Crows defeat Carlton in this year's AFLW grand final, were amazing and I can't wait to play in front of a crowd that big.
"When I started playing footy as a kid, there was no talk of a national women's competition because the numbers were so low," Grider said.
"We were scrambling just to get a team for an under 15's competition. But in such a short period of time, the game has expanded so much at both a grass-roots level and a professional level.
"There are a lot more girls interested in the sport now because there is somewhere to go with it."
With the AFLW season ending in March, Grider has returned to club football with UQ, where the 2019 UQ Sports Achievement Scholarship recipient is in her second year of a Bachelor of Exercise and Sports Sciences degree.
She said the sporting scholarship had been crucial in allowing her to pursue a professional sports career, while juggling full-time study.
"Playing in the AFLW means I'm in different cities most weekends during the season, and my training commitments are quite intense," Grider said.
"The Sports Achievement Scholarship gives me more flexibility with course work and attendance, and the financial benefits go a long way to helping me achieve my best."
The UQ Australian Football Club has a strong connection with the Lions, with Grider one of the six UQ players recruited to Brisbane in 2019.
"The club is really supportive of the Lions girls, especially with the crossover period between the end of the AFLW season and beginning of the Queensland Women's AFL season," Grider said. "It's a great club to be around and I've loved my time here."
Grider said she was looking forward to seeing the club improve both on and off the field with the opening of a Queensland Government-funded development at UQ's St Lucia campus, including new change rooms and physiotherapy areas, more spectator seating, bar and canteen facilities and function space.
"I'm really excited about the finished product," Grider said.
"It's going to be great for the club. Last year we struggled a bit with ground availability, which made it difficult to host our home games. So I think that this will really bring the club together."

Return of Libyan oil to begin; tanker set to load from Marsa el-Hariga
London — The return of Libya's oil to the market is partially underway as a tanker has reached the eastern port of Marsa el-Hariga to load 1 million barrels of oil from storage tanks, shipping and Libya-based sources said Sept. 23.
Sources said this tanker was chartered by Unipec, which has regularly lifted Libya's Sarir/Mesla crude. Unipec was unavailable for comment.
Mohamed Shatwan, chairman of National Oil Corp subsidiary Arabian Gulf Oil Co. which operates the port, confirmed in a statement that this tanker is loading at the terminal.
Shatwan also said the company had taken the necessary measures and made arrangements to resume production at its fields.
AGOCO operates the Beyda, Hamada, Mesla, Sarir, Nafoora and Majid fields, which have the capacity to produce around 300,000 b/d.
These fields are likely to the first to ramp up as the North African oil producer restarts its beleaguered oil sector.
A second tanker, the Marlin Shikoku, also chartered by Unipec, is also due to reach Marsa el-Hariga in a couple of days to load a 1-million-barrel crude cargo, according to shipping data and traders.
These loadings come after the UN-backed Government of National Accord and the self-styled Libyan National Army agreed to a deal on Sept. 19 to reopen key oil ports and restart oil production.
On Jan. 18, eastern tribes supported by the LNA halted exports from five oil terminals, sharply reducing the country's crude production, which hit its lowest since the 2011 civil war.
Libyan oil output has slumped to 70,000-120,000 b/d in the past few months compared with around 1.10 million b/d before the blockade.
During the blockade, Libya was still exporting oil from offshore fields -- Al Jurf and Bouri -- and occasional condensate exports out of the Mellitah terminal in the west but its main oil terminals were all closed.
Partial restart
NOC said on Sept. 21 it expected its oil production to rise to 260,000 b/d from next week.
NOC also said it would not allow exports from ports where there is an armed presence, which means that key terminals such as the 250,000 b/d Es Sider and 220,000 b/d Ras Lanuf are likely to remain offline for now.
The bulk of the exports expected in the next week come from barrels in storage, and the continued increase in Libyan production will hinge on the restart of the 300,000 b/d Sharara field, which has been beset by security and technical issues.
But many analysts do not expect a full return of more than 1 million b/d of Libya's light sweet crude to the market, due to the shakiness of the output deal and the presence of armed groups at some of the key oil infrastructure.
"Should the implementation of the agreement prove successful -- a big if -- production could climb to 500,000 b/d within a month," director of geopolitics and energy at Medley Global Advisors, Mohammad Darwazah, said.
"Any further incremental additions will hinge on how quickly Sharara can restart and ramp up and whether the NOC agrees to reopen Es Sider and Ras Lanuf, which currently remain closed due to the presence of Russian mercenaries," he added.
Libya's largest oil field, the 300,000 b/d Sharara, was back online Sept. 20, but production will be slow to start due to recent technical problems, according to Libya-based sources.
Flows on the pipeline from Sharara to the Zawiya export terminal also resumed this week, with initial flows estimated to be 50,000 b/d, they said.
Deal prospects
The output restart deal was signed by GNA Deputy Prime Minister Ahmed Maiteeq, but GNA Prime Minister Fayez al-Sarraj has not yet publicly backed the deal.
Sources have also said the deal is subject to certain conditions, and given the fractious relations between the two sides, the deal is expected to run into difficulty.
The longevity of the deal would be conditional on the revenue sharing scheme "functioning properly," according to Verisk Maplecroft Middle East and North Africa analyst Hamish Kinnear.
"The oil blockade could easily snap back into place within one or two months if the LNA believes that it has not received its full share of revenues," he added.
The deal is based on the formation of a joint technical committee, which will oversee oil revenues and ensure the fair distribution of resources along with other key responsibilities.
The distribution of the oil revenues was one of the main reasons for the LNA-led blockade.
"The sustainability of these volumes will hinge on both parties' ability to meet their obligations, including a set of ambitious demands made by Eastern authorities," Darwazah added.
Libya holds Africa's largest proven reserves of oil, and its main light sweet Es Sider and Sharara export crudes yield a large proportion of gasoline and middle distillates, making them popular with refineries in the Mediterranean and Northwest Europe.

Recap: TAB Policy Conference
By: Katie G. Zarate, Director of Communications
TAB is feeling energized for the new year after a successful Policy Conference.
The event was kicked off by TAB CEO Glenn Hamer and Texas' chief financial officer, Glenn Hegar for a session dubbed, "Between Two Glenns." Comptroller Hegar touted the strength of the Texas economy, sharing his office is confident the state will continue to outpace the rest of the nation. When asked about the revised surplus estimate, Comptroller Hegar said the historic 26.95 billion dollars will present challenges for the Texas Legislature.
Every session, lawmakers are inundated with appropriations requests. It is already a tough job to say "no" due to budgetary restraints, but the pressure will be tenfold with this year's excess.
TAB CEO Glenn Hamer asked the Comptroller if there were any investments he hoped the Legislature would make. Broadband expansion was at the top of his list. "We have seven million people in their homes that aren't connected," Comptroller Hegar said.
Increasing access to broadband is one of TAB's 2023 key legislative priorities, and at number one is a replacement for Chapter 313.
Texas needs a modernized economic development incentive to ensure the state continues to compete for large capital-intensive investments. Competitors in neighboring states, and countries, have figured out Texas' tax incentive model and now offer incentives of their own. A failure to replace Texas' Chapter 313 would be bad for local communities. At the TAB Policy Conference, Samsung Austin Semiconductor's Director of Government Relations, Dana Harris, explained that when major employers move to town, they bring jobs, people, tax revenue, suppliers, etc. TAB will be working with the Legislature, alongside our local chambers of commerce partners, to replace the outgoing program and ensure Texas remains the Best State for Business.
Workforce development and education are also on TAB's docket for session. The State Chamber was honored to have Representative Dan Huberty moderate the workforce and education panel, which included TWC Chairman Bryan Daniel, TEA Commissioner Mike Morath, and Representative Harold Dutton. A constant theme throughout the conversation was the need to ensure synergy between what schools are teaching and what employers need.
Programs like P-TECH as well as upskilling and reskilling opportunities are critical to maximizing student outcomes after graduation. Community colleges also play an outsized role in workforce readiness. TAB supports the new funding model proposed by Texas Commission on Community College Finance, Chairman Woody Hunt, which underlines the importance of outcomes and alignment with workforce needs. Massey Villarreal, incoming Chair of the TAB Board, led a discussion on this topic with state education leaders.
The conference agenda also included panels on how to curb rising health care costs for employers (featuring Representative James Frank and Representative Ramon Romero Jr.); all the above energy strategies; immigration policies that can help fill worker shortages; and a media panel featuring Texas political reporters from across the state.
Roy Spence, Chairman of the Board at GSD&M and Founder of the Make It Movement, served as the keynote speaker. He is the brain behind the slogan "Don't Mess With Texas," and his work proves marketing can be used for a force of good. Through the Make It Movement, Roy is working to help young people learn their purpose and what high-paying jobs are out there, while they're still in school. Roy broke the news that he is partnering with TAB, YTexas, and other organizations to host the largest career signing day October 6, 2023 at the Dallas Cowboys' stadium.
Closing out the 2022 TAB Policy Conference, Glenn Hamer sat down with two brilliant pro-business leaders: Joe Lonsdale and Arizona Governor Doug Ducey. Two years ago Joe Lonsdale, managing partner at 8VC, fled the anti-business policies in California and relocated to Texas. It's no secret that Texas has the right recipe for success when it comes to regulatory touch. The state surpassed California for the most Fortune 500 companies and continues to outpace the rest of the nation in several categories. Arizona Governor Doug Ducey has a legacy of pro-business leadership. He was CEO of Cold Stone Creameries, and when he came into office, he applied those private sector skills to his Administration. Gov. Ducey gave a nod to Texas' model for fostering a pro-business climate. He applied similar policies in Arizona, eliminating overburdensome regulations, reforming taxes, and signing the largest income tax cut in state history.
TAB appreciates the many leaders who came out to speak at this year's event and looks forward to working with everyone to further enhance the pro-business climate this session.

Historic house, garden and woodland walks perched over River Blackwater. Terraced looped paths lead to the 18th century Rock house and Bastion. Acid loving plants, rhododendrons, azaleas, and magnolias, as well as ferns, mosses and woodland flora amongst 22 acres of mature native trees.
For well over 500 years (21 generations) the Castle and Mansion-House of Dromana has been the seat of one of the principal families in the south of Ireland – the FitzGeralds, Lords of the Decies, later Villiers-Stuart.
Dromana no longer boasts large agricultural acreages although the garden and woodland walks stretch to 30 acres overlooking the majestic Blackwater River. A number of the trees at Dromana today date back to the 1st Earl of Grandison who planted 64,480 trees between 1742 and 1744.
Amongst the trees there are numerous mature rhododendrons interspersed with many other younger acid loving plants such as azaleas, camellias and magnolia.
The present generation are in the process of clearing and replanting the formal terraces which lead down to the water's edge. According to Daniel Grose's book Antiquities of Ireland 1766-1838 the terraces were grassed but subsequently they were planted with Ponticum as the emphasis shifted to the two large walled gardens.
As you meander around the looped paths at Dromana you may choose to take a stroll down the end of the 'Ladies Walk' to the oak tree where the ladies of yesteryear would make a wish before returning perhaps to the Rock House for a picnic while their men folk had gone hunting.
Another interesting feature of Dromana is the Bastion, a 17th century outer fortification and boat house with its grassed roof. This is a stunning place to sit and watch some of the wildlife of the Blackwater such as otters, not to mention the spectacular bird life of the river.
While Dromana is predominately a spring garden it is a glorious place to visit at anytime throughout the year, to either spend a couple of hours, or a couple of nights in one of the two self catering apartments on the grounds. Visitors can also enjoy traditional afternoon teas by appointment.
Dromana House and Gardens is located 5km south of Cappoquin on the east bank of the River Blackwater. Approaching from Cappoquin, take Dungarvan Road (N72). Turn right on sharp bend onto Dromana Drive/Villierstown road. Approaching from Villierstown direction, entrance is on your left as you leave the wooded area of Dromana Drive.
Toilets, parking, some water proof footwear. Refreshments for groups by appointment.

Coca Cola Offices invaded in Nottingham
Nottingham IMC | 15.04.2005 17:19 | Globalisation | Repression | Social Struggles
Today a group of protesters invaded Coca Cola's offices in Nottingham as part of the Global Week of Action against the companies environmental and human rights abuses around the globe. Workers at the office were informed about Coca Cola's alleged involvement in the assassination of 8 trade union activists in Columbia, and the environmental destruction caused by bottling plants in India and various places around the world.
Boycott Killer Coke !
The branch manager agreed to initiate a dialogue between the protesters and Coca Cola's management. Coca Cola has a history of refusing to talk to campaign groups or even acknowledging any wrongdoing. The office's manager argued that the events in Columbia were caused by 'cultural differences.' Interestingly, the protestors were told that two weeks ago the office workers had been briefed about the allegations made against Coca Cola, and were told that things were 'getting better' and were as a result of misunderstandings.
However, the situation for union activists in Columbia seems to get worse as only 3 days ago, on Tuesday morning April 12th at 4.30am, Luis Miguel Gomez, the regional leader of the agricultural workers trade union FENSUAGRO in the department of Sucre, was taken away by military personnel. Forcing their way into his home (where he was sleeping with his family) in the village of Ojitos in the Coloso area of Sucre department, with no arrest warrant and members of the military unit known for involvement in the disappearance of peasant organisers in Sucre department in the past. On this occasion it is believed that his life may be in danger.
The Boycott Coca Cola Campaign has gone from strength to strength over the last few months. Unison, Britain's largest union, voted in support of the boycott at it's last national conference and will break all its contracts with the company. Other unions are expected to join the boycott, while various colleges and universities are to withdraw Coca Cola products due to ongoing pressure from its student unions, environmental campaigns and human right groups all over the UK.
