White privilege, as you may know,
is a sociological concept describing the advantages enjoyed by white persons beyond what is commonly experienced by the non-white people in those same social spaces (nation, community, workplace, etc.). It differs from racism or prejudice by the fact that a person benefiting from white privilege need not hold racist beliefs themselves.
There is also some noteworthy scholarship on male privilege and heterosexual privilege. All of it speaks to the ways in which being white, male, and straight allows me the freedom to never be asked to speak on behalf of any group in which I was randomly born a member. How my poor behavior is rarely seen as a reflection on anyone but myself. How most people will assume that I'm intelligent, safe, and trustworthy. How history, as conventionally told, is brimming with people who look like me and by people like me. How role models that look like me are everywhere in this culture. How people are unlikely to harbor any negative ideas about me because of who I am.
And aside from the privileges bestowed by being white, male, and straight, I'm college educated. My parents are still married. My parents are upper-middle class. I'm an American. I live in the United States of America. I have little discernible accent (at least to American ears). All of these are seen as things that make me a better person, despite my responsibility for none of them.
And those are merely those privileges that I can enumerate right now without effort. I'm sure there are many more that I'll discover later and probably untold ones I'll never be made aware of.
Discussion of privilege can quickly degenerate into theoretical issues and nit-picking on substance. Surely, you might argue, there must be some privilege's in being black, Latino, or Asian. I wouldn't contend that there aren't. But that's immaterial to the fact that white (or male or heterosexual) privileges in most countries–and especially this one–are far more numerous than those conferred by other identities.
And surely white privilege–even all the privilege's I possess–doesn't dictate my lot in life. A poor gay black man from Zimbabwe could make himself far more successful than I'll ever be. But I feel rather certain that he'd have had to fight a lot harder to get there.
If–or when–one recognizes that they've received so many unearned privileges the obvious question is: what do I do about it? One bad answer to that question the easiest to give: nothing. To assert that though you've received these unearned privilege's you should essentially forget about them. Or worse, you can make the absurd and disgusting claim that they're rightfully yours because "it was earned for you by the hard work and self-discipline of your ancestors and relatives, whom you should learn to appreciate."
There is something to be said for conscious awareness of it. To recognize and understand what it may be like on the other side of that divide. It wasn't until I spent fifteen minutes in a mostly-black grocery store near downtown Detroit that I ever recognized what it's like to be on the minority side of any social situation. Aware that even if these people meant me no harm–and I'm sure of that–there was the immutable fact that I felt out of place. For a white heterosexual male who has lived most of his life in predominately white parts of a predominately white state it was an eye-opening experience.
Real awareness, I think, leads directly to action. Perhaps the greatest action you'll ever undertake is to spread awareness of these privileges among others. Perhaps you'll just vote for politicians who you think understand and would do their best to countermand these unearned privileges. Perhaps you'll become an activist against these privileges.
Perhaps you'll do absolutely nothing. But I do hope you'll at least think about what a privilege you've been given, to be able to ignore the ways in which you're privileged. The unprivileged have no such choice.

Q: Set UIButton Layer Border Width and Color in Interface Builder Can I use IB_DESIGNABLE and/or IBInspectable to set layer.borderWidth and layer.borderColor in Interface Builder? I am currently creating my button in code but I'd like to be able to set all of this in IB but I'm not sure if these properties can be set that way in Xcode 6. I'd like to make this an IBOutlet instead of having all of this set in code. Here is my button code now.
directions = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeRoundedRect];
directions.titleLabel.textAlignment = NSTextAlignmentCenter;
directions.titleLabel.font = [UIFont fontWithName:@"FranklinGothicStd-ExtraCond" size:20.0];
[directions setTitle:@"Directions" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[directions setTitleColor:[UIColor whiteColor] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
directions.frame = CGRectMake(20, 178, 70, 70);
directions.layer.borderWidth = 2.0f;
directions.layer.borderColor = [UIColor whiteColor].CGColor;
directions.clipsToBounds = YES;
directions.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
[directions addTarget:self action:@selector(getDirections:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[self.view addSubview:directions];

I set these values as suggested and the border is never shown in the simulator.
EDIT: I found out why the border wasn't showing up when setting these values in IB. The border color is a CGColor so I had to set it in code.

A: You can set most of those in the interface builder adding runtime attributes to the elements:

For layer.borderWidth = 2.0f; would be:
Select the button and add a new attribute
keypath : layer.borderWidth
type: Number
Value 2
These changes will not be visible inside the interface builder, only at runtime

A: yes u can
in the right side click on identity inspector, u will find like this

click + in User Defined Runtime Attributes
select keypath and edit it
write the code like this
layer.cornerRadius and in Type change the type to number and set ur required value like this

u can also change text colors and so many.
Happy coding

A: Actually you can set some properties of a view's layer through interface builder. I know that I can set a layer's borderWidth and cornerRadius through xcode. borderColor doesn't work, probably because the layer wants a CGColor instead of a UIColor.
You might have to use Strings instead of numbers, but it works!

But you can use categories to proxy properties such as layer.borderColor. (From the ConventionalC CocoaPod)
CALayer+XibConfiguration.h:
#import <QuartzCore/QuartzCore.h>
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>

@interface CALayer(XibConfiguration)

// This assigns a CGColor to borderColor.
@property(nonatomic, assign) UIColor* borderUIColor;

@end

CALayer+XibConfiguration.m:
#import "CALayer+XibConfiguration.h"

@implementation CALayer(XibConfiguration)

-(void)setBorderUIColor:(UIColor*)color
{
    self.borderColor = color.CGColor;
}

-(UIColor*)borderUIColor
{
    return [UIColor colorWithCGColor:self.borderColor];
}

@end

The result will be apparent during runtime, not in Xcode.

Facebook wanted an exciting, innovative way to show off the power of their data at a one-day event hosted in Paris for Facebook staff and selected partners. They specifically wanted to display how the sports data they collected could be used to assist businesses in their advertising and marketing efforts.
INITION used the MultiTaction Touch Interface in conjunction with a range of data sets linked to various different sports to demonstrate the depth of data that Facebook have at their hands. Users were able to focus on a particular sport and then delve deeper into it in terms of key facts and figures, as well as social buzz and interesting fact and case studies. Through the collaborative touch interface, the user was also able to compare different sports simultaneously.
"We are a technology company and pride ourselves on spearheading and being at the forefront of innovation. Through my role in events, we care constantly trying to find great ways to show content in as interesting and impactful way as possible – the multi touch table helped us achieve that goal.
We've never used anything like this in EMEA – it is the first of it's kind at our events and drew a lot of attention from guests. Rather than being faced with facts and figures on a one-sheeter, guests could now digest information at their own pace – expanding and delving deeper into whatever they found interesting. It was a real hit at the show and the delight on guests faces was visible.

"The MultiTaction touch interface was a perfect fit for Facebook as they needed to display, explore and compare a range of different data types. The collaborative nature of the MultiTaction allowed multiple users to share in the experience and created a rich experience for those involved.
There is a very natural fit between Facebook and INITION, not only because of their strong links with virtual reality, but also because of their understanding as to the importance of engaging and immersing an individual or group.

Mexico Rocks is a shallow patch reef complex located off the far northern tip of Ambergris Caye, and is part of the Belize Barrier Reef system in the Caribbean Sea. The site consists of approximately 100 Holocene patch reefs clustered on a Pleistocene ridge of limestone and is composed predominantly of boulder star corals (Montastraea annularis). The reef has accumulated in shallow water, about  deep, over the last 420 years, under static sea level conditions. The site was recommended for designation as a marine preserve in 1978, and was approved in 2015 as a part of the Hol Chan Marine Reserve. The reef is popular among snorkelers and SCUBA divers, and it is seen as an important addition to Ambergris Caye's ecotourism attractions.

Wildlife

Patch coral reefs that predominantly consist of Montastraea annularis are a rare occurrence in Belize; the only other such patch reefs in the country are located at Glover's Reef. In addition, staghorn coral (Acropora cervicornis) occurs on the ridge's windward and leeward flanks. Thirty species of hard coral have been identified at Mexico Rocks.

The reef is abundant in fish and invertebrate life. Common fish found at Mexico Rocks include Atlantic blue tang (Acanthurus coeruleus), yellowtail snapper (Ocyurus chrysurus), and southern stingray (Dasyatis americana). Nurse sharks (Ginglymostoma cirratum), and green moray eel (Gymnothorax funebris) are also found on the reef. Spiny lobster (Pallinuridae), conch (Strombidae), arrow crab (Stenorhynchus seticornis), banded shrimps (Stenopus hispidus), and many sponge species also inhabit the reef.

The key to ending your days as the "Got a Minute Manager" is to build some strong boundaries around your time. The best way to accomplish this is to tell your staff that they are no longer free to interrupt or approach you whenever they feel like it. Ken Blanchard suggested in "The One Minute Manager" to set up 15 or 30 minute touch bases once a week with your employees. Instruct your employees to bring their questions and issues to their weekly touch bases. If there is an emergency and they absolutely have to talk to you, set up two or three 10-minute times during the day where you have an "open door" to address those specific issues. Taking this step will free up your time so that you aren't in constant reactionary mode, and will allow you to have time to actually lead, instead of react. Additionally, it will empower your employees to find their own solutions to problems, instead of constantly relying on your direction.
Following these three simple keys will eliminate 80% of your wasteful meetings, and open up huge blocks of time to focus on the two key areas every great leader focuses on, which is leading and developing.
Great leaders do two things well – they lead their teams, and they develop the capacity of their people. One of the main reasons that we have so many "Got a Minute Managers" these days is simply because managers don't understand how to lead, and the power of developing the talents of their team. So, it becomes easier to completely avoid these things by being 'busy' reacting to things all the time. By installing some boundaries and managing your time, you can open up the time to lead and develop.
Great leaders take the time to understand the needs of their employees, and work with them to develop their talents so they can move up within the company, as well as increase their capacity to contribute to the team. Now that you have extra time for this, set up a time to talk to each of your employees to have a discussion about where they want to go with their careers, and how you can help them. Put together a formal development program, where you are meeting on a regular basis to develop your staff and provide them the tools and training to do so. Additionally, be a role model by doing the same for yourself.
If you follow the 3 keys above, you'll quickly make the shift from the "Got a Minute Manager" to the "One Minute Manager". The end result will be a team that works smarter, not harder, and an environment of development, growth, and superior results. Now, go be a great leader!
I often tell my prospective clients that trying to sell coaching is like trying to describe what chocolate cake tastes like to someone who has never had a piece. You can go on and on for hours, and you still don't truly understand until you taste it yourself. This is not only true in the coaching business, but for all service oriented businesses. The fact is if you are in a service business, you can't sell your service. Your prospects must experience what you do if you ever hope to make them your customer.
Who are you trying to attract? What market segment has a need for your service? Figure out who your target is so that you can spend your time and energy wisely.
2. Help them uncover their need for your service.
Get to know your prospects by asking them probing questions that will help them uncover a need for your service. For example, if you are a financial planner selling financial services, you might ask a potential prospect what their biggest financial challenge is, or if they are happy with their current financial situation. The key here is not to sell them your service, but let them sell themselves. They should be doing most of the talking.
3. Provide an opportunity for the prospect to experience your service.
Allow your target customers to experience your service in some way. For example, if you are a personal trainer, you could offer a complimentary session. Doing this allows your prospect to experience how your service can benefit them, and reduces their risk in purchasing your service.
4. Have them express their experience in their terms.
Now that they have experienced your service, ask them to quantify the results in their terms. This will allow them to sell themselves in a way that has meaning to them. Once they see value in what you do, you can ask for the sale.
5. Make sure they have a great experience, and ask for referrals.
Once they are your customer, make sure that they have a great experience, and then ask them for referrals. Remember that the easiest way to generate additional customers in a service oriented business is through people that have already experienced what you do.
Keep these 5 tips in mind when "selling" your services. Once you have mastered these tips, you will find that you will attract all the customers you need.

How To Write The Date In Polish
Learning how to write the date in Polish can help you ask questions, make plans and fill out important documents. Here's a quick guide.
Which is the best month to visit? What day is the market open? What is today's date? Making plans is an important part of everyday conversation, and knowing how to discuss days and months and write the date in Polish will make any trips to Poland or interactions with Polish speakers much more fruitful. Refer to the short guide below to learn how to write the date in Polish.
Days Of The Week In Polish
Monday — poniedziałek
Tuesday — wtorek
Wednesday — środa
Thursday — czwartek
Friday — piątek
Saturday — sobota
Sunday — niedziela
Months Of The Year In Polish
January — styczeń / stycznia
February — luty / lutego
March — marzec / marca
April — kwiecień / kwietnia
May — maj / maja
June — czerwiec / czerwca
July — lipiec / lipca
August — sierpień / sierpnia
September — wrzesień / września
October — październik / października
November — listopad / listopada
December — grudzień / grudnia
Write The Date In Polish
It's important to note that, when writing out the date, you must use the months on the right side of the list above. The ones on the left are in the nominative case, which is the case used when the noun is the subject of the sentence. But when you're writing the date, the month needs to be written in the genitive form (on the right), which is typically used to show possession.
There are a couple of acceptable ways to write the date in Polish numerically. First, keep in mind that, as in most countries outside of the United States, the day comes before the month. For November 1, 2018, you could write the date numerically as either 1.11.18 or 1.11.2018, or you can use Roman numerals for the month and lose the dots: 1 XI 2018.
To write the date out in long-form, you use the word for the month and the numeric form of the day and year. So November 1, 2018 would be 1 listopada 2018. Sometimes, people will put an "r" at the end, which stands for rok, meaning "year".

On Monday, November 16, 2015, 17 low-income San Franciscans, most cases on public assistance, will graduate from the Excellence through Community Engagement and Learning (EXCEL) program at UC San Francisco, and begin the next step along their path into the health care field.
EXCEL, a job skills program directed by UCSF in partnership with Jewish Vocational Services (JVS) and the City and County of San Francisco Human Services Agency (HSA)'s Wage Subsidy initiative, includes two parts. The first is a 10-week training in administrative and other critical job skills that provides students with the tools they need to join the healthcare workforce. The second is a four-month paid internship at UCSF, where the participants are able to utilize their new skills and gain additional experience. Upon graduation, most are placed in temporary or career jobs at UCSF or with other healthcare providers in the Bay Area.
As with previous EXCEL classes, the results for these new graduates have been dramatic. In the course of the approximately six-month program, the 17 students described moving from a feeling of trepidation and in some cases skepticism, to a sense of achievement and satisfaction for having mastered new skills and material.
Learn more about the EXCEL Internship Program, and hear how it's impacted the life of former graduate Sonya Johnson.
The candidates for the program were selected for their demonstrated desire to improve their lives, and a strong likelihood of success.
Another example is former graduate Dunenka Saleh, 26, a single mother of a two-year-old boy whose only job experience had been helping out at her mother's café. Unemployed after giving birth to her son and living with her mother, Saleh joined the EXCEL program in 2014 and interned with UCSF's Pediatric Diabetes clinic. From there she worked in the university's temporary pool for a few months, until she landed a career position this past August with UCSF's Urology Department as a New Patient Coordinator.
Though a precursor to EXCEL ran from 1998 - 2006, the current partnership is celebrating its fifth anniversary and will graduate EXCEL's ninth class of students at the upcoming graduation.
Since its inception, EXCEL has graduated more than 140 low-income San Franciscans, with 81 percent being placed in either career or temporary positions with UCSF or with another healthcare employer in the Bay Area. Almost half the students are from the southeast sector of San Francisco – mainly Bayview/Hunter's Point and Visitacion Valley – and nearly two-thirds are African American.

I MOA: 2701/14 - Cantonese Opera Bed Curtain
Cantonese Opera Bed Curtain
Curtain of pink synthetic fabric sewn to form an arch shape with horizontal upper edge of white synthetic fabric to which seven orange-pink Chinese characters are applied with sequins. There is a layer of filmy pink synthetic fabric over this. At the center of the curtain set are appliquéd three disks of pink silk, each with a Chinese character in black cloth. The lower edge of the arch-shaped curtain has a row of dark pink fringe. Behind the arch is a rectangular panel, and there are curved vertical panels with cotton backing attached to the sides. All are decorated with phoenixes, executed in dark pink, gold, and silver sequins.
History Of Use
Beds appear frequently in Cantonese opera, represented by a narrow platform with a cover and bed-curtains, as well as sometimes with cushions or bolsters. They most often are used in scenes representing weddings, although the actors do no more than sit on the bed and are not shown lying down. During the years 1900-1930, Cantonese opera costumes and stage fittings were decorated with silver-plated brass discs and then with round mirrors, together with gold and silver thread. Sequins made of gelatin were first used on Cantonese opera costumes in the 1930s. Heavily-sequined costumes were popular in the 1950s-60s, with the sequins then being made of plastic. Sequins have continued to come and go in popularity since that time. Silk bed sets in general predated those made of synthetic fabrics.

SNL Rips Hudson Valley in Season Premiere Sketch
YouTube/Saturday Night Live
The president wasn't the only one targeted by this weekend's Saturday Night Live season premiere.
While Alec Baldwin's weekly impersonation of Donald Trump makes most of the headlines, SNL is, and always has been, an equal opportunity offender. Saturday night's season premiere had its fair share of jokes aimed at the president, but also skewered the lineup of Democratic candidates, taking some particularly nasty shots at Joe Biden.
However, one target we weren't expecting from SNL was the Hudson Valley. During one of the night's funniest sketches, Aidy Bryant and Kate McKinnon played the Chickham sisters, owners of a quirky apple orchard. During the four-and-a-half-minute sketch, the long-running variety show had quite a bit of fun at our expense.
While the Hudson Valley wasn't called out by name, it was clear that the Chickham's Apple Farm skit was directly aimed at our area. The extended commercial for a local apple orchard not only made fun of the whole concept of apple picking (for just $45 you can bring home $10 worth of apples) but also aimed its crosshairs at the residents of the Hudson Valley (located in the part of New York State that has confederate flags.)
Woody Harrelson, the show's guest host, played the orchard's farmhand, Hank; a "troubled man who came with the land" who is paid in dentistry.
While most of the Hudson Valley has a pretty good sense of humor, the sketch is sure to ruffle feathers with some of our more sensitive residents. You know, the ones who like to fly those confederate flags and complain about everything on Facebook.
Let us know what you thought about the Chickham Apple Farm sketch. Did you find it funny or were you upset that the Hudson Valley was portrayed the way it was? You can share your thoughts about the sketch on our Facebook page.

The crash was reported around 8:40 p.m. Wednesday in the area of PCH and Deer Creek Road.
According to the California Highway Patrol, the crash occurred as a 2008 Infiniti G37 was traveling north on the highway. When the driver of a 2011 Toyota Scion XB on Deer Creek tried to make a right turn onto the highway, the two vehicles collided.
All four occupants of the Infiniti were injured and taken to hospitals, according to authorities. One passenger, a 22-year-old Oxnard man, suffered a broken femur and a laceration to the head as a result of the crash, authorities reported.
The occupants of the Toyota were uninjured in the crash.
Drugs and alcohol are not suspected to be factors in the incident, according to CHP. No arrests were made.

Pakistan's M2 provokes some jealousy across the border....
Indians have at least something to envy or to be jealous about Pakistan. Although both countries have different identities, they have so many things in common also. The corrupt practices of the public functionaries wherever there is involvement of contractors, is something which both can equally boast about. In the area of corruption, the public "servants" of both the countries have a common DNA.
Over the decades, the public works have consumed so much of the capital outlay that it bled the economy profusely without any tangible returns. The budgetary deficit was caused by corruption wherever construction was involved. Eventually, funds for development fell short of resources forcing borrowing. It is a common belief that works completed by public works department are 50% more expensive and 50% more unreliable as far as the quality of construction is concerned. 35% of the project funds are pilfered by functionaries with 15% paid to contractors in excess of his rightful claim. These are rough statistics of Pakistan and India would be no better.
It is for this reason that roads are built and rebuilt many times over making "them" rich at the cost of taxpayers. And as the ratio of indirect taxes dominates direct taxes, we can safely assume that 100% population of Pakistan pays taxes. These roads are built and are "maintained and repaired" every year then rebuilt after every five years but these are never of any international standard and are never in good conditions on both sides of the border.
However, there is one road, which impressed even Indians and that is M2, Pakistan first motorway between Lahore and Islamabad completed in November, 1997. But alas! We have hardly any reason to be proud of because this road was never built by Pakistani Highway money minters, it was built by South Korean engineers. Wall Street Journal has reported that a major conundrum to those who visit both India and Pakistan is why the roads are so much better in the latter. For all its problems, Pakistan's 367-kilometer-long M2 motorway between Lahore and Islamabad strikes a visitor as being streets ahead of India's decrepit inter-state roads.
For one, there's a disciplined motorway police that patrol Pakistan's highways and don't take bribes. If you go above 120 kilometers an hour, and are caught on camera, a fine awaits you at the toll gate. Nonpayment means you can't get out. The M2 motorway passes through the densely populated Punjab countryside but there are no cows, rickshaws or motorbikes coming at traffic on the wrong side of the road which is a common experience in India. The M2 road was built in the late 1990s by South Korean firm Daewoo, whose name is still emblazoned on the modern service stations that line the route.
Sunita Kohli, a New Delhi-based interior designer who recently did work on a boutique hotel in Lahore, says she was impressed with the road compared to similar developments in India. "We really lag behind on infrastructure," she said. "Now we're trying to make up for lost time."
That's not to say Pakistan doesn't face its own infrastructure challenges. Its most pressing need is to build more power plants and stop people from stealing electricity to avoid hours of blackouts across the country. And Pakistan's motorways — at just over 600 kilometers in combine length — are only a small fraction of the total road network, much of which is old. Ms. Kohli says she sees the M2 as a "showcase." India still slightly edges out Pakistan in the United Nations' Human Development Index, which measures per capita GDP, literacy, life expectancy and other development criteria.
Until a couple of years ago, Pakistan's economy was booming and there was plenty of public and private money for infrastructure spending. Now, foreign direct investment has dried up and the government, running a large deficit, has had to turn to the IMF for more than $11 billion in loans. But first-time visitors to Pakistan, many expecting a failed state, are surprised by some of the modern infrastructure. Apart from the roads, Pakistan's broadband and wireless roaming speeds also compare favorably with India. Doing business in Pakistan is easier than in India and China, according to the World Bank.
With regular Taliban suicide bombings, though, Pakistan is unable to capitalize on these positives and continues to generate only negative headlines. [Article courtesy: Wall Street Journal]

In A2, the end of the minor round saw Henley and Grange on top.
The first work-place club to field a team in the SAAFL was S.A. Railways Institute who entered in 1930 and would prove a long-serving member. In a somewhat surprising decision, Mount Barker was also admitted. Some 30 kilometres from town as the crow flies, Mount Barker would have been quite a journey for other clubs, and the Mount Barker players themselves would have covered hundreds of kilometres during the season. The bottom two teams in A1 in 1929 were Henley and Grange and South Adelaide Ramblers. As South Adelaide Ramblers did not reaffiliate, only Henley and Grange was demoted to A2. The top two teams from A2 in 1929, Kingswood and Teachers College, were promoted to A1 and along with Mount Barker formed an even eight-team competition. Railways (home ground Railways Oval in the west parklands) was admitted to A2 making it a seven-team competition. Semaphore Central played its matches at Largs Reserve for the first time. 433 players were registered during the season.
The three-man tribunal for hearing charges against players was resurrected, after concerns had been expressed that the full delegates' meeting was not an appropriate body for hearing such charges, particularly in terms of the need for impartiality. Another administrative task was the setting up of a subcommittee to investigate the formation of a 'B' grade for clubs wishing to fill a second team. The subcommittee recommended that a junior division be formed under the auspices of the SAAFL, but to be separately managed. This recommendation was acted upon the following year. Umpires used during the season were G. L. Haskard, G. E. McDonagh, W. K. Walker, D. Busbridge, M. Kinnear, J. H. Parkinson and H. B. Groves.
Semaphore Central held its annual general meeting at Evancourt Cafe in Semaphore, where life memberships were awarded to S. Hosking, who had been honorary coach for several years, and W. J. Musson, who had been captain, vice captain, delegate, committeeman and interstate selector.
The end of the minor round was exciting. With two rounds to go Underdale in fifth spot played Teachers College who it trailed by one game, and the match was drawn. Underdale then had the seemingly impossible task of beating second-placed Semaphore by more than 10 goals to make the final four, or else relying on Kenilworth to beat Teachers. The last round saw Teachers beat Kenilworth, while Underdale scored 16.13 to Semaphore 6.9. and failed by only 1.5% to make the final four. The only consolation for Underdale was that it knocked Semaphore out of second position.
In the semi finals Kenilworth easily defeated Semaphore 18.15 to 11.7, while University beat Teachers College 16.15 to 14.14. Then in the Final at Glenelg Oval under umpire D. Busbridge, Kenilworth won its second flag in four seasons with a two-point victory over University 12.15 to 12.13. Bill Brunt dominated at centre for Kenilworth.
Henley and Grange and St. Peters O.C. won their Semi Finals 8.10 to 7.8 and 8.13 to 5.15 respectively, then St. Peters won the Final at University Oval under umpire J. H. Parkinson 16.12 to 13.19. Henley and Grange exercised its right of challenge but was again beaten by St. Peters 6.8 to 7.14, this time at Norwood Oval, again under umpire J. H. Parkinson. Bond for Henley and Grange dominated in defence and restricted the S.P.O.C. star Jack Flood to one goal. This was St. Peters' first premiership in the S.A.A.F.L. and foreshadowed its great A1 victory in 1935.
The Hone Medallist was Rex Walter, the third player from Teachers Training College to win the medal since the club entered the SAAFL in 1923. The A2 medallist was Charles Remnant of Henley and Grange. C. G. Rosenthal of Kenilworth led the A1 goalkicking with 57 goals, while Jack Flood of SPOC kicked 60 goals in A2.
Bridgland, Lionel hb St. Peters O.C.
Flood, Jack hf St. Peters O.C.
McLeod, Allan rover Scotch O.C.
Reserves for the match were Mervyn Evans (PAOC), William Halliday (Semaphore Central), Keith Packham (St. Augustine) and C. G. Rosenthal (Kenilworth). For the first time since the interstate matches had begun, S.A. was the victor. It kicked five goals before the Vics scored and dominated in the air. A six-goal second quarter while restricting Victoria to only one effectively put the issue beyond doubt, and even though the Vics kicked six goals in the last quarter, S.A. outscored them with seven. Smith played brilliantly in the forward lines and in ruck ably assisted by Sangster, while Downs at full forward kicked eight goals. S.A.'s score of 156 points was a record for the competition and the 63-point margin the highest since the inaugural year.
