The Role of the Consumer in Fighting Modern Slavery
Photo Credit:AP/達志影像
Jolyon Ford
Jolyon Ford is an Associate Professor of Law at the Australian National University (ANU). His blog is Private Sector – Public World.
Anti-slavery legislation is a good start, but if we want a future where goods are produced free of slavery it requires government, business and consumers to all be pulling in the same direction, Jolyon Ford writes.
An Australian supermarket group sells tuna caught on Thai fishing boats that use forced labor. Whatever the ethics of selling such goods, what does law say? These workers are not employees of the Australian firm, so they are not necessarily its legal responsibility. From garments to chocolate, globalized supply chains mean that we may unwittingly or ignorantly enjoy some things produced, in effect, by modern-day slaves.
Australia's federal Opposition has announced it would deliver legislation on modern slavery. It would require larger Australian companies to disclose any knowledge of human trafficking, forced labor and related practices among their suppliers and sub-contractors, and the steps taken to address this.
Internationally, Western firms face similar calls to "know and show" their supply chains: to investigate these methodically, and to certify publicly that they do not involve human rights violations. Such demands for greater corporate accountability and responsibility reflect changing expectations around business's social role and impact.
However, consumer conduct does not necessarily reflect these expectations. The government knows it cannot leave issues like slavery to market forces. Yet our own behavior as consumers may ultimately be a more effective sustained regulatory influence than legislative interventions.
Australian corporate transparency legislation in this space would be following a British lead. When the UK enacted its 2015 Modern Slavery Act, Prime Minister Theresa May called modern slavery "the great human rights issue of our time'". The Act illustrated an increasing tendency to see corporate responsibility partly through the prism of well-established international human rights law frameworks. In 2011 the UN Human Rights Council unanimously adopted 'Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights'. These emphasize corporate due diligence in examining human rights risks across business processes, and the state's duty to promote respect for human rights by private sector actors.
In Australia, the Coalition government has been active on the human trafficking and now modern slavery agendas, including by directly engaging big business. Australia already has strong world-leading legislation criminalizing individual involvement in human trafficking and forced labor. The debate now is mainly about including non-criminal due diligence provisions relating to corporate supply chains.
Both challenging and reassuring businesses, mining magnate Andrew Forrest has been instrumental in shaping this agenda. In February the government announced a Senate committee enquiry into slavery-like exploitation and the best form of legislation to address it. Last week the government hosted the UK's Anti-Slavery Commissioner, and envisages creating a similar office here.
Labor's announcement this week was roundly welcomed, including by the Business Council. It calls for a bipartisan approach, even though it quite carefully omits any mention of the enquiry or indeed any of the government's initiatives.
Despite some politicization even of such apparently unambiguous moral issues, widely-supported modern slavery legislation affecting large business seems unstoppable. Disagreement will probably come on what compliance should consist of and whether or not non-compliance should attract a punitive response. Should a company be fined if forced labor is discovered three steps down its supply chain?
The corporate-focused parts of the UK Act simply require firms with an annual turnover above about $60 million to publish a statement of steps taken each year to ensure that human trafficking and slavery are not occurring within their business or supply chains. Technically, a company might comply by stating that it has taken no steps. Instead of statutory penalties, the Act relies on a transparency logic whereby markets and consumers exert regulatory pressure. The model assumes that firms will pursue due diligence down their supply chain to avoid the reputational risks around false, unverified or incomplete statements. It hopes that firms will see the generic commercial risk-management merits of mapping and better understanding their supply chains generally.
Transparency does not necessarily equate with accountability, and the UK Act is undemanding. Yet at this stage it is not unreasonable to argue that more might be achieved by persuading firms to embrace these issues than by threatening to punish them. Many sectors' supply chains are hugely complex and difficult to police: we should facilitate cooperative coalitions of business, finance and civil society — fixing problems, not just affixing blame.
Large businesses desire certainty and consistency. They will not necessarily resist new regulation. The UK Act signals that more intrusive regulation might come if business cultures do not change.
While some Asian forced labor has deep historic social roots, much modern slavery is a symptom of globalized economic forces, including our demand for cheaper and faster goods and services. Transparency legislation in developed countries cannot alone fix these structural problems. Fair work and fair trade issues are bigger than corporate due diligence mechanisms.
Addressing modern slavery in our region is not only a job for government or bigger businesses: a critical mass of informed proactive consumers will surely be as significant as law-making. Debate continues over whether 21 or 40-plus million people live and work in slavery-like conditions. Either number is unacceptably high in the 21st century.

Boeing Co.'s plans to develop an electronic-warfare version of its F/A-18 Super Hornet — potentially a $7-billion-to-$9-billion program — took a major step forward with a $27.6-million Navy contract awarded last week for preliminary design and testing work.
"This is extremely significant," says Paul Summers, program manager for Boeing's EA-18G. Dubbed the Growler, the aircraft would replace the EA-6B Prowler, the Navy's aging workhorse for jamming radar and communications sites.
The contract enables Boeing to start hiring and preparing for the next phase, a nearly $1.5-billion design and development contract this fall, if the Navy and Congress decide to go ahead with the program.

Vauxhall Corsa BUT OF CORSA (66/100)
Vauxhall has given some attention to its Corsa supermini to make sure it stays relevant to buyers in this crowded market. Jonathan Crouch takes a look.
Vauxhall has given some attention to its fourth-generation Vauxhall Corsa supermini line-up, refining the engine range down to variants of an improved version of its 1.4-litre petrol engine and enhancing the value proposition on offer. If you want a sharp deal on a car in this class, you'll get it on this one, but there are also other reasons why a Corsa might suit.
The Corsa supermini remains Vauxhall's best seller even though the brand has two smaller models - the Viva and the ADAM - in its line-up. This MK4 version has continued that trend, but recently, growing competition in the supermini segment has required a bit of a re-think when it comes to this car. Hence some changes on the engine front, extra equipment across the range and the addition of a new hot hatch flagship model, the GSi. Of course, there are still newer and glitzier small hatches vying for your attention in this class, but we reckon you'll probably end up getting a better deal on this one. Which wouldn't be that relevant if it wasn't a class-competitive product. Is it still ? Let's find out.
The revised Corsa range is built entirely around versions of its improved Euro 6.2-compliant 1.4-litre petrol engine - so no diesels, 1.0, 1.2 or 1.6-litre units any more. There is though, the choice of either 5 or 6-speed manual gearboxes or an automatic. You can have the 1.4-litre powerplant in normally aspirated form with either 75 or 90PS - or with a turbo with either 100PS or (in the top GSi) with 150PS. The Corsa has always been a pretty entertaining steer and it's helped in this regard by a low centre of gravity, a stiff front sub-frame and sharp suspension geometry. This features special front knuckles, plus carefully chosen spring rates and dampers to reduce the pitching movement you'd normally get at the front during sharp braking manoeuvres. Following the current trend, the steering system is electrically-powered and is speed-sensitive with a UK-specific tune to cater for our roads. That's not enough to enable this car to offer the kind of precise feedback you'd get in, say, a Ford Fiesta. But as standard with this set-up, you do get something which most owners will probably find a lot more useful, namely a clever 'City' mode that makes low speed manoeuvring and parking far simpler.
On to design. This fourth generation Corsa was essentially a re-skin of the previous third generation version, but it still looks quite fresh, especially when dressed up in the manner that most variants now tend to be. At the front, 'eagle eye'-shaped headlamps incorporate Vauxhall's signature 'wing'-style LED daytime running lights. Between them is a low, sporty trapezoidal grille with a chrome bar for the Griffin badge that sits above front foglamps embedded in chrome-trimmed air inlets that are intended to make the car look wider, lower and more purposeful. Which is certainly the profile demeanour of the three-door version, always supposed to be the sportier of the two Corsa bodystyles. That's further emphasised by an upper windowline that drops to the rear in an effort to make the car look coupe-like. On the slightly more conservative-looking five-door version, the beltline extends upwards, creating a more dynamic connection with the roof spoiler. Drop inside and you'll find an instrument panel themed around horizontal lines and featuring in most models a 7-inch Intellilink infotainment colour touchscreen that dominates the centre of the dash and is smartly mounted in a high-gloss surround. In the back, this Corsa is much as it always was, remaining one of the more spacious superminis you can buy with plenty of room for two fully-grown adults - or three children - in this five-door model. Inevitably the three door bodyshape is a little more claustrophobic. Out back, there's a 285-litre boot.
Prices start at just over £11,000, but that only gets you the entry-level 'Active' variant which comes only in three-door form and only with the 75PS version of the normally aspirated 1.4-litre petrol engine. Across most of the rest of the line-up, the five-door body style is an option for £600 more. Most buyers will want to start their perusal of the range from at least 'Design' level, which costs from around £13,000 and comes with the same base engine. Stretching up to 'Energy' trim and a £14,500 budget means you get the option of the 1,.4-litre engine in its 90PS guise, in which form you can have an auto gearbox too. The 75 and 90PS units are also the ones on offer at the mid-range 'Sport' level. If you want the turbo version of the 1.4-litre engine, it's available as one of the options on offer to 'SRi Nav' buyers, though you'll need over £17,000 for that engine with this spec. Beyond that, there's a more visually arresting 'SRi VX-Line Nav Black' variant (with only 75 and 90PS power), before the range culminates with the top 1.4i Turbo 150PS GSi warm hatch model. Across the range, standard safety stuff includes twin front, side and curtain airbags plus ESP stability control.
Despite the fact that all the 1.4-litre petrol engines on offer are of the improved Euro 6.2-compliant variety, running costs aren't exemplary by class standards. The base 75 and 90PS normally aspirated units record the same figures - 49.6mpg on the combined cycle and 130g/km of CO2. The 1.4i Turbo 100PS unit actually does a little better - 50.4mpg and 128g/km. The 150Ps version of this unit in the top GSi variant manages 49.6mpg and 139g/km. You'll also need to know that Vauxhall includes a three-year, 60,000 mile warranty as standard, a package that can be extended up to five years and 100,000 miles at extra cost. A year's free breakdown cover is also provided, along with a six-year anti-corrosion guarantee. Service intervals are at 20,000 miles or every 12 months, depending on which comes round sooner and you can opt for a service plan that lets you pay monthly to spread the cost of regular work to your car. As part of this, Vauxhall offers discounts on wear and tear items, such as brake pads and windscreen wipers.
And in summary? Well what we're looking at here is a Corsa that can. It can be fun to drive. It can deliver a big car feel. And it can deliver the kind of trendy media connectivity that younger buyers are looking for. It's a small Vauxhall for which no apologies need to be made. It's not perfect of course. It doesn't lead its class in terms of either space, efficiency or driving dynamics. And more work is still needed under the bonnet to deliver a more cutting edge engine range. The key though, is that this Vauxhall is now there, or thereabouts, in the three key areas just mentioned. Add to that the wide model line-up and the likely deals on offer and you've a supermini that more than ever, needs to remain high on any family's shopping list.

In my Nancy Drew fabric pack, there were eight different patterned fabrics with blue, red, yellow, black and white backgrounds and I chose the six that would pair nicely. Each pile contains 4 squares, two of which complement each other.
I will be creating six "four-patch" quilt blocks which comprises 4 squares. Example I will use is the Black and White patterned fabric. Piece together the contrasting fabric – making sure when you stitch the two pairs, the same color touches diagonal. Make sure the middle seams are aligned. Continue for the other fabric pairings until you have six separate four-patch quilt blocks.
Once you have all the quilt blocks, stitch the blocks together, again making sure the middle seams are aligned. Once this is complete, you now have what is called the top quilt.
Now it is time to pick your backing material. I had five to choose from and I picked the one that would best complement the top quilt. You will also need batting for your quilt project.
Place top quilt on batting and trim the batting along the outside of the quilt right to the edge of the quilt top. Place the paired top quilt on top of the backing. Do not trim backing yet. This is known as the quilt sandwich. You can either pin or use basting spray to keep all three pieces together. If you plan to use a label on your quilt, stitch the label only using the backing and the batting. Do not stitch onto the top quilt.
You're almost finished with the quilt. Now you stitched all three pieces (top quilt, batting and backing). You can stitch diagonal or straight line stitch along the seams making sure each square has a quilt stitch running through it. Trim backing to ONE INCH all the way around the quilt.
You are now ready to do the binding. Fold the backing in half so that the edge lines up with the edge of the quilt top. Fold backing again so that it overlaps the quilt top by half an inch and in pin in place. Repeat folding and pinning around the entire quilt.
Stitch on backing around the entire quilt until complete.
Come back next Thursday for more bookish craftiness.
You're so talented Dru Ann, this is beautiful! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Dru Ann for letting us share this one! Love the theme and the final product!
I followed you on FB making this on your vacation and it turned out fabulous.
Beautiful! I'm such a fan of Dru and Drew, so this is a double treat.
Now I have to get out my sewing machine! What a fun project. Thank you so much for sharing the idea and the clear descriptive steps!

ABC CANCELS 'V'
Fan Campaign Hopes for Revival
Posted by ICv2 on May 14, 2011 @ 12:13 am CT
Friday the 13th proved to be especially unlucky for the rebooted science fiction series V. After a strong start in November of 2009 (see "'V' Blows the Doors Off"), the re-imagined 1980s alien invasion series suffered a ratings drop before the show managed to stabilize its Neilsens.
After its debut as a mid-season replackement, V was renewed in May of 2010 (see "V & Chuck Renewed") for 13 episodes, but the second season didn't start on ABC until January 4th. While ratings remained modest during the past TV season, the show did find a strong creative direction and longtime fans cheered the return of Jane Badler, who played the alien leader in the 1980s series.
V's troubles are symptomatic of the skittishness of the networks when it comes to dramatic TV series. Unless a series establishes itself quickly it is likely to receive the kind of half-hearted, half-season endorsement that ABC gave V. With eight months between the broadcast of the last episode of the first season and the first episode of the second season, it's little wonder that a series struggles. Although it technically lasted for two "seasons," ABC only aired 22 episodes of V.
Hardcore supporters of the show have begun a fan campaign dubbed "Project Alice" to get Warner Bros. TV to shop the series to another network.

Knitted fabrics is a type of elastic textiles that are manufactured by interlocking yarns with the help of a pair of needles. Knitted fabrics can be manufactured by two principal methods – weft knitting and warp knitting. Knitted fabrics are generally comfortable, lightweight, and can be made more easily and quickly that woven fabrics, with which they are often used interchangeably.
The Fact.MR study is a seamless presentation of unique insights on how the knitted fabrics market will expand across the globe during 2018-2027. The utmost objective of Fact.MR report on knitted fabrics market is to provide compelling insights on the demand generating factors, dynamic aspects, key product developments in the market, and overall market scenario of the knitted fabrics market. The report includes the ultimate predictions about growth of the knitted fabrics market in terms of market size (US$ million) and market volume (tons) during the assessment period.
Increasing growth of the textile industry has resulted in creating more lucrative opportunities, thereby attracting new players to enter the industry. This is leading to intensifying the competition in the knitted fabrics market. Leading manufacturers are launching more innovative and high-quality products using next-generation manufacturing technologies to bring a new dynamic to the knitted fabrics market. Increasing adoption of state-of-the-art technologies to bolster manufacturing of custom seamless knitwear apparels is becoming increasingly palpable in the knitted fabrics market. Market leaders are completely digitizing their entire production processes to further enhance their business productivity and efficiency. Technological assets, such as physical simulation software, 3D printing technology, and 3D design software, are likely to prevail over traditional manufacturing processes soon in the knitted fabrics market.
Knitted fabrics have been deemed more prone to damage than their woven alternatives, thereby compromising the utilization efficiency of of the fabric in various applications. Needle malfunction, mismanagement of machinery, or improper care during the fabric dyeing processes, are some of the aspects that increase the risk of damage during knitted fabrics construction In addition, improper manual handling of knitted fabrics and inspection cuts lead to forcing manufacturers to keep an extra buffer for such damages. This is one of the leading causes behind high overall fabric costs, which is ultimately creating challenges for stakeholders to mitigate production costs. Thereby, unavoidable spending on knitted fabric management and machine maintenance prove to be costly challenges for knitted fabrics market players to tackle with.
Both, woven fabrics and knitted fabrics are commonly used in the healthcare industry as medical textile. However, textile engineers discovered that knitted fabrics are more flexible, highly porous than woven fabrics, and have loose and changeable structural design, thereby can be used in versatile medical applications. The structure of knitted fabric can be altered and modified easily to suit variable requirements of several medical applications, which is boosting demand for knitted fabrics in the healthcare industry.
With growing awareness about unique benefits of knitted fabrics, when they are used as medical textiles, knitting technologies have emerged to be an integral part of the healthcare industry. For example, warp knitting technology is becoming popular as one of the most economic technologies used to manufacture thermostatic textiles used in surgery to maintain patients' body temperature.
Owing to their soft hand-feel and characteristics to offer a perfect fit to the clothing, knitted fabrics find more demand and maximum applications in nightwear and lingerie collections. Manufacturers in the knitted fabrics market are adopting advanced printing technologies to further enhance the texture and flexibility of knitted fabrics to suit the modern requirements in the nightwear clothing segment. Apart from the offering knitted fabrics with rich feel, leading players in the knitted fabrics market are concentrating on improving performance characteristics of knitted fabrics. Manufacturers are likely to alter their manufacturing processes to offer better performance characteristics of knitted fabrics, such as resistance to washing and rubbing, functional comfort, and significant saving on energy and greenhouse emissions, to expand the scope of knitted fabric applications beyond lingerie and nightwear segment.

Treatment of Menière's Disease
Jeffrey D Sharon, Carolina Trevino, Michael C Schubert, John P Carey
Current Treatment Options in Neurology 2015, 17 (4): 341
Diagnosis of Menière's disease is made with a characteristic patient history, including discrete episodes of vertigo lasting 20 min or longer, accompanied by sensorineural hearing loss, which is typically low frequency at first, aural fullness, and tinnitus. Workup includes audiometry, a contrast enhanced MRI of the internal auditory canals, and exclusion of other diseases that can produce similar symptoms, like otosyphilis, autoimmune inner ear disease, perilymphatic fistula, superior semicircular canal syndrome, Lyme disease, multiple sclerosis, vestibular paroxysmia, and temporal bone tumors. A history of migraine should be sought as well because of a high rate of co-occurrence (Rauch, Otolaryngol Clin North Am 43:1011-1017, 2010). Treatment begins with conservative measures, including low salt diet, avoidance of stress and caffeine, and sleep hygiene. Medical therapy with a diuretic is the usual next step. If that fails to control symptoms, then the options of intratympanic (IT) steroids and betahistine are discussed. Next tier treatments include the Meniett device and endolymphatic sac surgery, but the efficacy of both is controversial. If the above measures fail to provide symptomatic control of vertigo, then ablative therapies like intratympanic gentamicin are considered. Rarely, vestibular nerve section or labyrinthectomy is considered for a patient with severe symptoms who does not show a reduction in vestibular function with gentamicin. Benzodiazepines and anti-emetics are used for symptomatic control during vertigo episodes. Rehabilitative options for unilateral vestibular weakness include physical therapy and for unilateral hearing loss include conventional hearing aids, contralateral routing of sound (CROS) and osseointegrated hearing aids.

By Humor Mill / June 13, 2019 / Comedy News
Steve Harvey is back in Georgia for his 11th annual "Boys Mentoring Weekend." The five-day event began on Wednesday, June 12 and runs through the weekend. The event also includes "The Single Mothers' Enrichment Summit" and the inaugural "Steve Harvey Invitational Golf Tournament."
This Father's Day weekend, over 200 teenage boys from fatherless households will join the radio and TV personality at The Rock Ranch in The Rock, GA, for a life changing experience. For the first time, the camp has partnered with Bethany Christian Services and will host youth in foster care and adoption programs. The U.S. National Guard and U.S. Fish and Wildlife have also partnered with the 2019 mentoring camp.
Guests include recording artists Ne-Yo and Cee Lo Green, author, life coach and TV personality Iyanla Vanzant and former NBA star Dikembe Mutombo.
"A young man without a father in his life has a hole in his heart the size of this father," Harvey said in a release. "Through mentorship, these young men have received the tools and guidance to propel them both professionally and emotionally."
Activities at the camp include STEM programs, educational forums, career development, financial literacy, motivational sessions and health and wellness clinics.
"The Single Mothers' Enrichment Summit," led by former Essence Magazine's Editor-at-Large, Mikki Taylor, will host single mothers for conversations and educational sessions while providing them with the tools to help support and raise productive young men.

A Guide To Travel In London - Be On The Road | Live your Travel Dream!
As one of the world's most popular tourism destinations, London is a city in which it's hard to go wrong with your travel activity. Whether you spend your time visiting main attractions, attending special events, or simply relaxing and mingling with locals, you're in for a memorable experience. But to help you narrow your focus and choose a few priorities for what to see and do on a trip to London, here's a brief guide to tourism in the area.
One high priority for any trip to London is see some of the incredible buildings, monuments, and attractions that exist throughout the city. Yes, sightseeing will make you feel very much like a tourist, and in some cities you're better off abandoning the beaten path and pursuing lesser known thrills. But in London, the iconic sights and postcard images really are worth seeing in person. PlanetWare.com wrote up a nice list of some of the most impressive attractions, including the Tower of London, Trafalgar Square, and The London Eye.
We'd also note that among these attractions, so many of which are absolutely beautiful from the outside, many are best experienced through indoor tours. Westminster Abbey, for example, is an architectural wonder from the outside. However, by walking through its chambers and alcoves, you get a true sense for the immense amount of history associated with the building. Similarly, the British Museum is a lovely building to look at, but only by spending an afternoon among its exhibitions can you understand why it's considered one of the best museums in the world!
Another outstanding aspect of London travel that many people overlook is the vibrant sports atmosphere that exists almost all year throughout the city. The first sport that comes to mind is probably football, and that's fair enough. London is home to Arsenal, Chelsea, and a number of other top-tier clubs, and their matches are some of the most exciting annual events in the city. Additionally, stunning Wembley Stadium hosts the FA Cup championship every spring.
But even beyond football, London is one of the world's greatest sporting cities. BritishAirways.com even goes so far as to point to the city's rugby scene as a reason to travel there in the autumn, offering specific travel packages designed to get visitors in on the action. Indeed, the public gets very excited for professional rugby matches, and attending one as a tourist is a unique thrill. The city is also home to various outstanding once-a-year sporting events such as Wimbledon tennis and the Oxford vs. Cambridge boat races on the Thames.
Bouncing back and forth between city attractions and sporting events makes for a fairly busy vacation, however, and it's also worth pointing out that London's simpler pleasures also rank as great sources of entertainment. In particular, the food and shopping throughout the city are regarded by most as top-notch.
While England itself isn't known for its cuisine in the same way that nearby neighbours like Spain and France are, the country does have an aptitude for producing wonderful comfort food. These include traditional dishes like shepherd's pie or fish and chips, which you can find at any old pub or restaurant. However, London has also become known for its impressive variety of top-notch international cuisines. If you're really curious about individual establishments, Londonist.com has a nice listing of highly ranked restaurants for a variety of cuisines. But we'd recommend seeking out Indian, Chinese, and Middle Eastern cuisine to experience some of the city's best.
As for shopping, your destination will depend somewhat on the sort of items you're looking for. But if you just want to experience what London has to offer overall, areas like Mayfair and Bond Street, Oxford Street, Regent Street and King's Road are known for great stores and enthusiastic crowds of shoppers. Each of these destinations can be an experience in itself.
And of course, there's far more to London than all this. There are artistic exhibitions and performances, cultural attractions, amusing crowds of people, city tours. Even beyond the city limits, there are incredible regions and other cities within reasonable driving distance should you wish to explore beyond London for a day or two. But if you're looking for some highlights for a vacation to this beautiful city, this guide should serve as a good start!

Their products are worldwide admired.
Founded in 1981 by Michael Kors, this organization is famous for handbags and watches.

Thanks to the great Hubert De Givenchy for this tremendous fashion house who is renowned for designing Audrey Hepburn's clothing and the most interesting fact is that the wife of the 35th US President Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy was used to be a customer of Givenchy. In 1983, the company received Chevalier de la Légion d'Honneur and in 1992 won Medal of l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres. The cost paid for each handbag is completely justified with the quality and excellence of the product purchased.

The War on Drugs Lost in the Dream
By Eric Hill
Since emerging in 2008 with Wagonwheel Blues, these Philadelphia sons have been purveyors of the finest one- and two-chord jams that charted their geographic and spiritual proximity to both Springsteen and the Velvet Underground. Lost in the Dream starts down this same path on churning opener "Under the Pressure," but then splits off into several directions that feature expanded instrumental experiments and a tendency towards bigger, if slightly narcotized, anthems.
Singer Adam Granduciel piles his blue collar mystic lyricism atop a rush of eddying rhythms and tones that feature Robbie Bennett's keyboards more prominently than ever. A touch of '80s-style production, including occasional saxophone-as-emotional-beat, at times threatens to nudge things into a satirical mash-up of Dire Straits/Bruce Hornsby hits, but they ride the right side of that precipice.
Ending with a couple of more introspective pieces, the band lets a little air into the mix, and closer "In Reverse" turns out to be an album highlight, saving it from feeling like just a bleed of primary colours. (Secretly Canadian)

ANCHORAGE -- Most Alaskans like Sarah Palin. I know I do. Both as a politician and a person, there's a lot to like.
Despite the fact that we're from different parties, for the 20 months that we've both been in office we've been allies on oil and gas issues, which are important in a state where 85 percent of the government's general revenue comes from oil production. I've appreciated the way she has not knuckled under to the oil companies as governors before her have.
And when I turned 60 a couple of months ago, Palin served cupcakes at a gathering at the governor's mansion. Nearly flambeed herself holding a big tray of the things so I could blow out the candles. Who wouldn't like that?
But that doesn't mean I think John McCain made a good decision when he picked Palin to be his running mate. I don't. Sarah Palin is simply not qualified to be a heartbeat away from the presidency, especially when that heart beats in the chest of a man who would be the oldest president ever elected to a first term.
If you held Palin's political résumé up to the light, you could see right through it. Mayor of a small town, followed by less than two years as governor of a state with the fourth-smallest population in the country. That's the person who is qualified to take over if the Norns snip McCain's thread? The woman prepared to be commander in chief?
Palin's time as governor has been a mixed bag. She deserves high marks for moving the possibility of a gas pipeline forward. But most of the work on oil taxes was done by the legislature. Ditto with ethics reform. And her role in killing the ballyhooed "Bridge to Nowhere"? Turns out that she was for it before she was against it, and that, well, she kept the money anyway.
Add to this a growing sense that the state government isn't running all that well: commissioners and key staffers jumping or being pushed. The operating budget growing 10 percent a year. Policy problems such as high energy costs being papered over with cash giveaways. The governor and her aides being investigated by the legislature. You can see why it's not clear she's a competent governor of Alaska, let alone qualified to take over the reins of the national government.
Don't get me wrong. Palin brings some pluses to the campaign. She's a woman. She's young. She's from outside the Beltway. The Christian right likes her. She's comfortable on TV -- she has a degree in journalism -- and is adept at connecting with people on a personal level. And she is very, very competitive. When I criticized her plan to hand out free money to Alaskans -- spin that, conservative pundits -- the next time we met she lit into me like I was a pork chop and she was a starving wolf.
Unlike the shrill pundits on cable news, I don't have a crystal ball. I don't know if Palin will turn out to be an asset to the McCain campaign or a liability or, like so many vice presidential candidates before her, a non-factor. I don't know what kind of leader she might be. But I do know that, on all these fronts, she is a big, big risk if her ticket wins and something bad happens to John McCain. And that the risk isn't just McCain's. Or the Republican Party's. It's all of ours now.
And that tells me all I need to know about John McCain's judgment.

Funds Raised
Cole Classic
Fundraising Sun Run
Fundraising Cole Classic
SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA – FEBRUARY 01: Aerial photograph of the 2015 Cole Classic on February 1, 2015 in Manly, Australia. (Photo by Anthony Johnson/Fairfax Media)
Cole Classic and Sun Run handed back to the community
2020 will see the dawn of a new era for the Cole Classic and Sun Run as the events move under the ownership of the Manly Life Saving Club and Northern Beaches Council respectively. After Fairfax was merged with the Nine group in late 2018 they swiftly looked to offload their events portfolio and gifted the events to ensure their continuation. Whilst the events will be operated independently the Council and Life Saving Club will be working closely together to ensure the standard of delivery is maintained whilst promoting a healthy and active lifestyle for their community and visitors.
Graham Cole was a keen ocean swimmer, regularly swimming and body surfing at Bondi Beach. In 1981 he travelled to Hawaii with a team from the Tattersals Club to swim in the Waikiki Roughwater. He returned with a desire to establish a similar event in Sydney, reasoning that Australian beaches and strong beach culture were deserving of such an event and that it should be open to all members of the community who had done the necessary training. In 1982 Graham wrote;
The event is not a race but a challenge to all persons to stretch themselves in body and mind to swim a reasonable distance through surf. It will, I hope, be an incentive to persons to involve themselves in the self-discipline required to get fit; obtain confidence in their ability through swimming, to achieve a pride in having performed something that is, perhaps slightly above average, and finally to receive (in the form of an appropriately prepared Certificate or medal) some recognition of their accomplishment.
In 1983 the first Cole Classic was swum with 101 swimmers participating.
When did the Cole Classic move to Manly?
The Cole Classic moved to Manly in 2005. Manly LSC was the surf club where, as a young man, Graham Cole patrolled and was awarded his surf life saving bronze medallion.
The wonderful location at Manly Beach has allowed for the introduction of the 1km Novice Challenge to see the event truly flourish.
Why did the Cole Family do this?
A few reasons, it is a memory of their father, his legacy and the lifelong enjoyment he had swimming in the ocean. To think the Cole Classic is making a small contribution to the sporting and cultural fabric of Sydney, a city fortunate enough to be located on one of the great coastlines of the world.
In 2008, the Cole's created an online fundraising opportunity through EveryDay Hero. In its first year, the Cole Classic's online fundraising raised an impressive $47,000 for various charities. In 2019 over $210,000 was raised.
The Fairfax Era welcomes the Sun Run
In 2009, Manly's popular Cole Classic event was managed by Fairfax Events for the first time.
After a quarter of a century, the Cole family decided that their event had outgrown the resources of family and friends. With nearly 3,000 entrants in 2008, the new partnership with Fairfax provided an increase of resources and skills to ensure an enduring event. The 2010 race again saw a record number with over 4,500 registered entrants. These entrants helped raise over $320,000 for charities across the country.
In 2011 Fairfax introduced the Sun Run. Aimed at promoting a weekend of health and activity the run began as a 7km event starting at Dee Why Beach following the picturesque coastline through Curl Curl, Freshwater and Queenscliff before finishing at the iconic Manly Beach. 6,444 participants took part in the inaugural year. 2014 saw the addition of a 10km distance and in 2018 an Aquathon (run-swim-run) was created. 2020 will see the 10th running of the Sun Run.
Christopher Cole, Cole Classic Founding Director, said: "The Cole family is excited by this new arrangement with Fairfax Media. We believe it will guarantee that the event can continue into the future, and can continue to raise much-needed funds for both the Manly Life Saving Club and the broader community".
Manly Life Saving Club
Manly Life Saving Club traces its history back to the early 1900's. Following changes in 1902 to laws that allowed the public to bathe during daylight hours, 1903 saw volunteers saving the lives of people who would otherwise have drowned in the surf at Manly. In 1911, Manly Life Saving Club was given the charter of a lifesaving club. Since this time the members at Manly have gained more lifesaving awards than any other club in Australia. All active members update their surf skills and lifesaving knowledge annually.
Our members have officially saved over 10,000 lives, and can proudly state that no one has drowned at Manly while patrols have been on duty. As many rescues go unrecorded, the real number of lives saved would be several times larger. Currently, the Manly members save an average of 200 lives per year.
Whilst being a lifesaving club is a priority, Manly Life Saving Club has for some years devoted additional resources to youth education & development. The Manly Club has around 1,000 members who are between 6 and 18 years of age. They are taught surf, rescue and resuscitation skills appropriate to their age, and encouraged in a healthy lifestyle around a core of service to the whole community. These activities have seen numbers of young people in the club grow from 200 to over 1,000 in the last 25 years. The club also holds annual Drug & Alcohol seminars for its teenagers as part of their youth education activities, and keynote speakers include senior Police and other experts.
In addition the concentration on lifesaving skills and development has led to Manly Life Saving Club being the current NSW competition champions and cemented their place in the top five in the Australian Championships in recent years. The Club has won more Australian Championship gold medals than any other club in the country.
The Manly Life Saving Club has a proud record of supporting other charities and community service organisations outside of surf life saving, and is currently looking to redevelop their club building to allow further growth in its record of volunteer community service.
Northern Beaches Council
Stretching from Palm Beach to Manly, the Northern Beaches boasts more than half of all the beaches in Sydney and a population of more than 266,000.
Living on the Northern Beaches means checking surf conditions from the office and taking your children to the beach after school. It's about busy sportsfields, bush walking and bike trails on the weekend. It's an active lifestyle with clean waterways, beautiful wildlife and vibrant events backed by great services and infrastructure.
Northern Beaches Council is committed to delivering the highest quality service, valued and trusted by our community

News Space 17 December 2018
Astronomers witness rare birth of a baby binary. Andrew Masterson reports.
In this image, the red and blue sections represent dust and gas swirling around the young star MM 1a. The star's tiny sibling, MM 1b, is visible in the lower left quadrant.
J. D. Ilee / University of Leeds
Astronomers observing a massive young star have been surprised to discover that it is simultaneously birthing a smaller sibling.
In a paper published in the journal Astrophysical Journal Letters, a team led by John Ilee from the School of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Leeds, UK, report the discovery of faint object orbiting a star dubbed MM 1a.
The star was chosen for observation because it is surrounded by a large rotating cloud of gas and dust – the raw material from which stellar objects form.
"When these clouds collapse under gravity, they begin to rotate faster, forming a disc around them," explains Ilee.
"In low mass stars like our sun, it is in these discs that planets can form. In this case, the star and disc we have observed is so massive that, rather than witnessing a planet forming in the disc, we are seeing another star being born."
The sibling star, called, logically enough, MM 1b, has a mass about one half that of the sun. Its parent star, in contrast, constitutes about 40 solar masses.
The combination of the two stars can be regarded as a binary system, a set-up not unusual in the universe. This one, however, is different.
Stand down. Binary star system is not about to explode
"Many older massive stars are found with nearby companions," says Ilee.
"But binary stars are often very equal in mass, and so likely formed together as siblings. Finding a young binary system with a mass ratio of 80:1 is very unusual, and suggests an entirely different formation process for both objects."
Further research may reveal that tiny MM 1b has its own dusty disc, which could coalesce into planets. If so, they will very likely be in for what in cosmic terms constitutes a brutally short life.
"Stars as massive as MM 1a only live for around a million years before exploding as powerful supernovae," explains Ilee, "so while MM 1b may have the potential to form its own planetary system in the future, it won't be around for long."
A full pre-peer-review version of the paper is available in the repository Arxiv.

Senate Democrats file suit challenging Matt Whitaker's appointment as acting attorney general
The lawmakers said Whitaker's appointment was unconstitutional because he was never confirmed to serve in a job "requiring the advice and consent of the Senate."
Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker attends the annual Veterans Appreciation Day ceremony at the Justice Department in Washington on Nov. 15, 2018.Michael Reynolds / EPA

By Garrett Haake and Adam Edelman
WASHINGTON — Three Senate Democrats filed a federal lawsuit on Monday to block Matt Whitaker from serving as the acting U.S. attorney general, claiming that his appointment to the post by President Donald Trump was unconstitutional.
In a suit filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, Sens. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., Mazie Hirono, D-Hawaii, and Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., alleged that Trump's appointment of Whitaker violates the Appointments Clause of the Constitution because Whitaker was never confirmed by the Senate to serve in any position "requiring the advice and consent of the Senate," which includes the job of attorney general.
Senate Dems file lawsuit challenging Whitaker's acting AG appointment
Nov. 19, 201801:35
News of the lawsuit, filed against Trump and Whitaker, was first reported by the Daily Beast.
"By designating Mr. Whitaker to perform the functions and duties of the Attorney General without having been subject to Senate confirmation, President Trump has unlawfully denied the Plaintiffs their right, as sitting U.S. Senators, to vote on whether to consent to his appointment to that role," the trio of senators, who are all members of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said in the suit.
"Defendant Whitaker has not been confirmed to serve as a principal Officer of the United States or to serve in any other position requiring the advice and consent of the Senate," they wrote. "Defendants are therefore violating the Appointments Clause."
The senators' complaint asks the court to declare Whitaker's appointment unconstitutional and to enjoin him from serving as acting attorney general.
"Installing Matthew Whitaker so flagrantly defies constitutional law that any viewer of School House Rock would recognize it. Americans prize a system of checks and balances, which President Trump's dictatorial appointment betrays," Blumenthal said in a joint statement from the three senators on Monday.
Whitehouse added that "the stakes are too high to allow the president to install an unconfirmed lackey to lead the Department of Justice — a lackey whose stated purpose, apparently, is undermining a major investigation into the president."
Matt Whitaker faces challenge in Supreme Court
In a statement issued later Monday, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., lauded his colleagues for filing the "important" suit, and for "shining a bright light on the president's unconstitutional appointment of Matthew Whitaker as acting attorney general."
Whitaker had been serving as chief of staff to Attorney General Jeff Sessions before being appointed as acting attorney general on Nov. 7, after Sessions announced that he was stepping down at thepresident's request.
Whitaker was confirmed by the Senate as a U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Iowa — a position he held from 2004 to 2009. But he was not confirmed by the Senate to be Sessions' chief of staff or to be acting attorney general.
As acting attorney general, Whitaker now oversees special counsel Robert Mueller's probe into Russian electoral interference and possible ties between Trump's campaign and Moscow.
The suit Monday comes just days after opponents of Whitaker's appointment asked the U.S. Supreme Court to rule that he is not legally qualified for the job.
Whitaker cannot be in the position, the challengers contended, because he wasn't confirmed by the Senate.
Tom Goldstein, the Washington lawyer who filed the challenge to Whitaker's appointment in the Supreme Court Friday, is also behind a similar suit brought last week by the state of Maryland in federal court.
The Trump administration has vigorously defended Whitaker's appointment. An opinion from the Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel said the government has identified over 160 times throughout U.S. history when presidents appointed non-Senate confirmed government officials to serve in high level positions. In recent years, the opinion said, such appointments were made by Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama.
In appointing Whitaker as acting attorney general, Trump acted under the Federal Vacancies Reform Act, the latest version of a law on the books since 1868. In its current form, it says the president can fill a vacant position at a Cabinet department in one of three ways — designating the deputy to take over, choosing someone nominated by the president and confirmed by the Senate for a different job, or naming someone serving in a senior position in the relevant agency for at least 90 days.
Whitaker fits the third category, because he was named chief of staff to Sessions more than a year ago, in September 2017. His previous Senate confirmation for U.S. attorney in Iowa doesn't count for the purposes of the Vacancies Reform Act, because he stepped down from that position in 2009.

Q: How to find the data in mysql with per word? So if I use this code SELECT * FROM user where BINARY LOWER(name) LIKE LOWER('%{$search}%') If I search for words LEE, Then, all the letters that uses LEE will appear.
LIke SLEEP, LEE YONE, ULEE, LEEOPARD etc.
And worse still, if I search for the letter "A" everything will appear.
Can make only per word? maybe if I search for words LEE, that will appear only LEE YONE

A: Try WHERE name REGEXP '[[:<:]]LEE[[:>:]]'
Also you don't need to LOWER() if your collation is set to a reasonable value.

A: Your query SELECT * FROM user where BINARY LOWER(name) LIKE LOWER('%{$search}%') returns ULEE when your $search is LEE because of the wildcards (% signs) around your search term.
If you change it to SELECT * FROM user where BINARY LOWER(name) LIKE LOWER('{$search}') your $search for LEE will only return entries that are exactly LEE.
If you also want LEE Yone returned, you need to change your query to   SELECT * FROM user where BINARY LOWER(name) LIKE LOWER('{$search}%') (note the % after the search term).

A: Hi For this you have to use fulltext search
live excample check below link.
http://sqlfiddle.com/#!9/159f95/15

A: Please try with below query;
SELECT * FROM user where BINARY LOWER(name) LIKE LOWER('% {$search} %') OR LOWER(name) LIKE LOWER('{$search} %') OR LOWER(name) LIKE LOWER('% {$search}')

The Dark Knight, the latest "episode" in the Batman series, opens July 18 to great anticipation. The film is made more compelling and poignant by the death of Heath Ledger, who from what we can see in the film's trailer, plays a very dark Joker. But, for aficionados of "behind-the-scenes" stories, The Dark Knight is compelling for other reasons.
The Dark Knight, the latest "episode" in the Batman series, opens July 18 to great anticipation. The film is made more compelling and poignant by the death of Heath Ledger, who from what we can see in the film's trailer, plays a very dark Joker. But, for aficionados of "behind-the-scenes" stories, The Dark Knight is compelling for other reasons.
Those reasons were discussed at Cine Gear Expo 2008 at the Universal Studios backlot, by a panel, moderated by industry journalist Bob Fisher, consisting of cinematographer Wally Pfister, camera operator Bob Gorelick, chief lighting technician Cory Geryak and IMAX senior VP David Keighley.
With The Dark Knight, all the action sequences were shot in IMAX, and later intercut with 35mm film. This film also marks cinematographer Pfister's sixth collaboration with director Chris Nolan, which began with the indie hit Memento and was seen most recently in The Prestige.
As a team, Nolan and Pfister are notable for their efforts to adhere to an "in-camera" ethos. Pfister famously avoids the digital intermediate process that has become commonplace among Hollywood filmmakers for the ability to tweak nearly everything about the image. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it," Pfister comments. Though "The Dark Knight" does include digital visual effects, many of the effects are captured in-camera. In one notable sequence an exploding four-storey building was destroyed for the filmmakers, who shot it in Chicago. In other words: What you see in this film may actually have been there on the set.
He decided he could, and, ultimately, 28 minutes of the film were shot in full IMAX. "It was very detailed and very complicated, but we wanted people to see it on the IMAX screen," says Pfister. Keighley noted that Nolan also likes the sound mix best in IMAX. The IMAX theatre is a digital surround sound system that delivers multi-channel, uncompressed, full fidelity sound. IMAX's amplifiers generate up to 14,000 watts of power. That opening bank heist sequence, says Pfister, is notable for the IMAX sound because where the gunshots are both very loud and seem very close.
But an IMAX camera also weighs in at 100 pounds, compared to the Panaflex's 32 pounds. Because Nolan favors a hand-held look, the first test of shooting in IMAX was Gorelick's ability to operate the 100-pound Steadicam rig. That test came immediately, with the shoot's first filmed sequence: the movie's demanding opening sequence. The bank heist was located in an old post office, with very hard, very slick marble floors. "Bob had to do a running shot with the Steadicam and the arm broke off," remembers Pfister. "My back was stressing," admits Gorelick.

Q: Why is the FBLogin not working in simulator ? - It stays in Safari? I am using xcode 7.3.And the latest version of fb sdk.I did all method declaration as per the Fb Documentation.But now when i press login with facebook button.It redirect to safari page and its asking whether you want to allow.I gave Yes.After that it still in safari page.And here is one "Done "Button at top left corner of safari page know.If i press that done button only its going in to my home screen.I dont know why?
I tries resetting my simulator, And adding all needed thing in info.plist.But its not working.I am having fb, google plus both login button.But this fb is not working.
Any solution would be great

Here after i press the done button only its allowing me to go inside the app.( home screen ).
My code in appdelegate :
 func application(application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [NSObject: AnyObject]?) -> Bool {

        }
    }
    func loginButtonDidLogOut(loginButton: FBSDKLoginButton!)
    {

    }

A: This code works with XCode 7.3. When you logged from facebook, it come back on your view controller.
override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()

    // Login steps
    if (FBSDKAccessToken.currentAccessToken() == nil)

        }
        print("User logged in")
    }
}

func loginButtonDidLogOut(loginButton: FBSDKLoginButton!) {
    print("User Logged Out")
}

A: Try overriding this AppDelegate method:
-(BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application openURL:(NSURL *)url sourceApplication:(NSString *)sourceApplication annotation:(id)annotation {
    // Call FBAppCall's handleOpenURL:sourceApplication to handle Facebook app responses
    BOOL wasHandled = [FBAppCall handleOpenURL:url sourceApplication:sourceApplication];

    // You can add your app-specific url handling code here if needed
    return wasHandled;
}

Sorry for the Objective-C answer, I just copied it from my project. But you should be able to get the point.

A: first of all you have to add one method in Appdelegate as below
  - (void)applicationDidBecomeActive:(UIApplication *)application {
  [FBSDKAppEvents activateApp];
}

Second this is due to ios version it will have some problems with ios 9 and above so it will work fine in device as well.

There have been stories of numerous murders that occurred at Myrtles Plantation but actually there was only one. The ghost that appears most often is that of Chloe, a slave woman. During the time when Clark Woodrooff and Sarah lived in the house, Chloe was one of the servants there. While Clark was known as a good lawyer, he was also known for being promiscuous. While Sarah was pregnant with their third child, Clark began having an intimate relationship with Chloe but soon grew tired of her and moved on to someone else. Chloe feared that she would be sent to the fields and began to eavesdrop on the families private conversations. Woodrooff caught her and cut off one of her ears to teach her a lesson.
Now no one knows for sure what the motives were behind her next action. Some say it was to get gratitude from Woodrooff and not be sent to the fields. Others say it was strictly out of revenge. But one day Chloe put a tiny bit of poison into a birthday cake meant for Woodrooff's oldest daughter. Sarah and her two kids all ate a slice and later on that day, became very sick. Chloe tended to their needs but before the day was over, all three were dead. Other slaves, afraid for their own lives, dragged Chloe to a nearby tree and hung her. A few days later, she was cut down, weighed down by rocks and thrown into the river. Since that day, the dinning room has never been used for eating meals.
this contradicts itself..how could Sarah and the two older daughters die of yellow fever if Cloe killed them with the cake...even the myrtles ( and I have been there twise) bounces the story. I am confused, as I stayed in Kate Winter's room on one stay, and she is the one that died of yellow fever...totally confused on the plantations history.
Sarah didnt die from the cake. I suggest you take the "ghost tour". They go into detail about what happened. I have taken the tour and done research also, so you are getting your facts mixed up. And there were at least TWO murders. One of the men who lived there was shot and died on the steps leading to his bedroom.
I've stayed there, and have also found conflicting stories between lore and fact, so I'm still unclear of actual documented history. One thing I AM certain of is that all that I have experienced there precedes its reputation for merely being 'haunted'. The things seen, heard, and felt, were unimagined by my husband and myself. I would not suggest anyone to venture there with the expectation of happenings; nor would I try to convince anyone to believe in such things, as it is a matter of personal beliefs and experience. What I would suggest is that an open mind and heart (as well as those of caution)are critical in any unknown journey. Good and safe journey to all.
While there is a LOT of conflicting information regards Myrtle Plantation, there are some things to keep in mind.
The main issue is the fact, that any activity leading up to modern times begins in the 18th Century & not truly written down for historical records.
If the husband was attempting to 'cover up' the deaths of his wife & children, the Yellow Fever would have been par for the course.
Being known for his 'extra curricula' activities, was something that was not easy to hid if you are blatant about it. But having it discovered that you have a servant accused of attempted murder who also carries a possible vendetta is not something you want getting out since it can ruin your 'status' & earn you scorn for not taking action. People simply will not 'trust' your actions or opions very highly & he was a Judge.
The other side being is that IF Chloe was quilty, her peers would have taken action against her out of fear. It was not uncommon for a Master to punish all the slaves simply due to the actions of one.
Sadly lack of proper documents, leaves the entire thing up to people coming up with what they believe is a plausable scenerio.

James Robert Robertson (1867 – 14 January 1928) was an educator in South Australia, head of Prince Alfred College preparatory school.

History
Robertson was born in Orkney, and was brought out to Australia by his parents when a boy.

He attended the Port Adelaide Public School in the days of headmaster Allen Martin, and like his fellow schoolmate and lifelong friend W. R. Bayly, won a scholarship to Prince Alfred College, which he joined as a student in 1881.

He joined the staff of Prince Alfred College in 1884 and was appointed head of the preparatory school perhaps around 1900. He resigned in 1919 to devote his efforts to Freemasonry.

Despite the early age at which he left for Australia, he was regarded as a "typical Scotsman" by all, especially Andrew D. Young, Chief of the Caledonian Society. He died at his home on The Esplanade, Brighton after a long illness.

Freemasonry
Robertson was initiated in Leopold Lodge, Adelaide, in August, 1895, and served as steward and inner guard in that lodge.
In 1901 he was a founder and the first junior warden of St. Peter's Lodge, of which he was installed Worshipful Master in 1903.
In 1907 he was a foundation member and first senior warden of Prince Alfred Collegians Lodge, and was installed as Master the following year. He was a Grand Steward of the Grand Lodge in 1904, Grand Standard Bearer in 1909, then Grand Inspector of Lodges for three years.
In 1910 he became a member of the Board of General Purposes in 1910, and was appointed Assistant Grand Secretary in 1917.
Exalted in the South Australian Royal Arch Chapter in 1900, he was installed First Principal in 1906, and was a foundation Companion and the First Principal of the United Collegians' Chapter in 1912.
In 1916 he was installed Grand H. of the Supreme Grand Chapter.
He was advanced in Adelaide Mark Lodge in March, 1911, and filled every office in that lodge, becoming Worshipful Master in 1919.
He was organist of the Adelaide Royal Ark Mariners' Lodge attached to the Adelaide Mark Lodge.
He also held office in the Earl of Euston Knight Templar Preceptory, and the Earl of Euston Rose Croix Chapter.
He was Past Second Grand Principal of the Supreme Grand Royal Arch Chapter and Grand Inspector of Chapters, He was also Assistant Grand Secretary of the Grand Lodge of Mark Master Masons.

Charles R. J. Glover (Grand Secretary of the Grand Lodge of Freemasons) paid a tribute to his service to the Craft:
He was not only my right hand man,. but also a close personal friend of many years' standing. His death will. be a great loss, not only to the whole of the Craft in South Australia, by whom he was beloved and respected, but to many personal friends who will mourn his death. He was an expert on ritual and one of the best-informed Freemasons in Australia, with a wide knowledge of Craft history and jurisprudence.

Family
James Robert Robertson married Martha Marie Helene Feuerheerdt ( –1952) of Crower station near Lucindale on 28 August 1909. They had no children.

Andy Murray: 'The younger guys have shown they're not particularly close'
Andy Murray believes the Australian Open has been a humbling experience for the younger players who thought they were closing in on the big three.
Many fancied Daniil Medvedev to kickstart a changing of the guard when he faced Novak Djokovic in the Australian Open final last week.
The Russian was completely overpowered by Djokovic, though, who won in straight sets with ease.
And, according to Murray, it has become apparent that the younger players are more pretenders than contenders right now.
"The younger guys, for me, they've not shown that they're particularly close," Andy Murray said.
"I expected the final to be closer. But it's different standing to return or to serve in a Grand Slam final than a quarter-final or a semi.
"When you're coming up against someone who's won 17 of them it's pretty intimidating.
"Obviously at the US Open, Dominic Thiem did what he had to do to win the event.
"But if Novak hadn't put a ball through the line judge's throat, it would have been the same outcome I think.
"The guys have been at the top for so long that they have won on every surface and have been really good on all courts,'
"The guys trying to get to those positions don't necessarily play as well on all of the surfaces, so that reduces the opportunities to potentially win Slams."
