Blum [Bloem; Bloome], Hans
M. J. T. M. Stompé
(b Lohr, c. 1525).
German architect, engraver and writer. After training as an architect in his native town, Hans Blum left Lohr because two architects were already working there: Peter Volckner (fl 1539–48) and Jost Wenzel (fl 1548–70). He then moved to Zurich, where he married Ragali Kuchymeister in 1550. Their eldest son Christoffel Blum (bapt 21 Jan 1552) was named after the publisher Christoffel Froschauer (?1490–1564), who later published Hans Blum's treatises on architecture.
Hans Blum is primarily known as the author of Quinque columnarum exacta descriptio atque delinaeatio cum symmetrica (1550), a book on the five orders of architecture. He based his work on the fourth volume of Serlio's Regole generali di architettura (Venice, 1537), a German edition of which was published in 1542. The second source for Blum's book was Gualtherus Rivius's edition of Vitruvius, published in 1548 and illustrated by Peter Flettner (...
Dietterlin, Wendel
Michèle-Caroline Heck
[Grapp, Wendling]
(b Pfullendorf, nr Konstanz, 1550–51; d Strasbourg, 1599).
German painter, draughtsman and engraver. He was the son of a Protestant pastor and spent his childhood in Lissenheim before moving to Strasbourg with his widowed mother. On 12 November 1570 he married Catherina Sprewer, and in 1571 he obtained Strasbourg citizenship. In 1575 he painted frescoes on the façade of the Brüderhof (destr. 1769). He was at Hagenau in 1583 and at Oberkirch in 1589. Also in 1589, he worked on the decoration of the Neu Bau (now Chambre de Commerce) in Strasbourg; the frescoes, known from engravings of the building (e.g. by Jean-Martin Weiss) and from descriptions, combined mythological and biblical scenes in an interesting iconographical relationship and emphasized the architectural structure of the façade. Dietterlin's only authenticated easel painting is the signed and dated Raising of Lazarus (?1582 or ?1587; Karlsruhe, Staatl. Ksthalle), which has the characteristics of northern Mannerism: the centre of the composition, towards which the figures look, is deliberately brought out of symmetry to the right; the scene is viewed from below, and the ample gestures of the figures cause them to mingle and intertwine, creating arbitrary rhythmic connections. The intensity of these deliberately complicated movements and tensions is not accentuated by contrasted effects of light. The painting as a whole shows the influence of the Netherlands, while the bright colours are typically German, although some of the figures reveal an Italian influence, probably mediated through German art; others are taken directly from earlier German paintings or inspired by Tobias Stimmer. The only figure looking at the viewer may be a self-portrait (see Martin)....
Guckeisen, Jakob
Kai Budde
(b Cologne; fl Strasbourg, 1590s).
German cabinetmaker, writer and engraver. He is recorded as a cabinetmaker and citizen of Strasbourg from 1596. He appears to have been a pupil of the architect Johann Schoch, who designed Schloss Gottesau, near Karlsruhe (c. 1587), and the Friedrichsbau of the Heidelberg Schloss (c. 1601–7). Guckeisen, in collaboration with Veit Eck (fl Strasbourg, 1587), wrote a Kunstbüchlein (Strasbourg, 1596) dedicated to masons and cabinetmakers. He also wrote a similar work, Etlicher Architectischer Portalen, Epitapien, Caminen Und Schweyffen, published in the same year in Cologne. They were followed in 1599 by a series of engraved designs for six chests, also published in Cologne. In collaboration with the cabinetmaker and etcher Hans Jakob Ebelmann, Guckeisen also produced the Schränke (1598), Seilenbuch (1598), Architectura Kunstbuch Darinnen Alerhand Portalen Reisbetten Undt Epitaphien (1599) and Schweyfbuch (1599), the last dedicated to the cabinetmaker Jacob Riedel in Strasbourg. As a designer of ornament, Guckeisen was familiar with the whole repertory of Renaissance decoration, using it in varied combinations....
Labacco [Abacco; Dall'Abacco; l'Abacco], Antonio
Maria A. Phillips
(b nr Vigevano, ?1495; d after Aug 14, 1567).
Italian architect, engraver and writer. He is thought to have been in Rome by 1507, but the first specific record of him dates from 1526 when, together with Antonio da Sangallo (ii), Pier Francesco da Viterbo and Michele Sanmicheli, he worked for Pope Clement VII on the fortifications of Parma and Piacenza. After the sack of Rome in 1527, he was as much involved with restoration efforts as he was with recording antique monuments and participating in new building projects. Many existing drawings, some of them from the collection of Vasari (Florence, Uffizi), relate Labacco's work to that of Sangallo, who commissioned him in 1539 to execute the large wooden model, now in the Vatican Museum, of his design for St Peter's, Rome. The model required at least seven years to execute, and it was finished only after Sangallo's death in 1546. Between 1546 and 1548 Labacco also published three engravings of Sangallo's design....
Martínez (y Lurbe), Jusepe
Ismael Gutiérrez Pastor
(b Saragossa, Dec 6, 1600; d Saragossa, Jan 6, 1682).
Spanish painter, engraver and writer. He was a son of the Flemish painter Daniel Martínez (d 1636), with whom he first trained, following late Mannerist trends. In 1623 he went to Italy, and in 1625 he was in Rome, where he met Guido Reni, Domenichino and, shortly afterwards in Naples, Jusepe de Ribera. This contact with Italian classicism and naturalism influenced his work, and he always maintained a preference for classical balance and structure. He combined this with chromatic tones and a chiaroscuro that became progressively softer. The extensive documentation on Martínez deals only intermittently with his paintings, and it is not always possible to trace his stylistic development. His earliest recorded work is the series of five engravings on the Life of St Pedro Nolasco (c. 1625), which were engraved in Rome by Johann Friedrich Greuter (d 1662) after Martínez's drawings (untraced). In ...
Stegmann, Karl Martin von
Peter Boutourline Young
(b Eisenach, 1832; d Nuremberg, May 28, 1895).
German architect, architectural historian, lithographer and writer. He was in Rome for a few months in 1855–6. In the early 1860s he produced Ornamente der Renaissance aus Italien (1861), a collection of 24 lithographs of drawings taken from life, as well as Entwürfe zu Grabdenkmalen (1861) and two further collections, Ornamentenschule (1861) and Ornamente griechischen und römischen Stils (n.d.). In 1864 he published his collection of designs for shop-fronts, the Zeichnungen zu Schaufenstern, Waarenauslagen und Ladenvorbauen, in Weimar, where in 1866, together with F. Jaede, he founded the Atelier für Architektur und Kunstgewerbe (Studio for architecture and arts and crafts) and, the following year, the weekly review Kunst und Gewerbe. In 1873 Stegmann became Director of the Bayerisches Gewerbemuseum at Nuremberg. He also supervised work on the construction (1861–8) of the new building for the Ducal Museum (now Landesmuseum) in Weimar, designed by ...
Vredeman de Vries, Hans
Madeleine Van De Winckel
[Jan] [Frisio, Johan]
(b Leeuwarden, 1527; d ?Antwerp, ?1606).
Dutch designer, architect and painter, active in the southern Netherlands and throughout the Holy Roman Empire. Though an artist of many talents, it was through his engravings that he most influenced his contemporaries. The distribution of his works by the publishers of Antwerp made him one of the leading and best-known exponents of Mannerist decoration and the instigator of a new urban vision in northern and central Europe.
He first studied drawing in his native Leeuwarden in Friesland for five years with Reijer Gerritsz., a glass painter from Amsterdam, who moved to Leuven c. 1544. Vredeman de Vries then spent two years in Kampen, before moving to Mechelen, where he learnt to paint in watercolour on canvas, a technique typical of that town. In 1549 he assisted Pieter Coecke van Aelst on the decoration of the triumphal arches constructed for the ceremonial entry into Antwerp of Charles V and his son, the future Philip II. On Vredeman de Vries's return to Friesland, he was briefly in Kollum, where he is reported to have applied himself 'night and day' to copying the works of Sebastiano Serlio and Vitruvius from editions published and translated by Coecke van Aelst. Vredeman de Vries returned to Mechelen to stay with the painter and art dealer ...

Home Buzz	CD Review: Sierra Boggess Awakens at 54 Below
CD Review: Sierra Boggess Awakens at 54 Below
Contributor Scott Redman gives a listen to Awakening, the new live recording by Broadway's Sierra Boggess.
Sierra Boggess, best known for her portrayal of Ariel in Broadway's The Little Mermaid, recently performed a cabaret act, Awakening, at 54 Below in New York City. It is now available for purchase on CD and digital download. The show was stirred by the book, Inspiration: Your Ultimate Calling by Dr. Wayne Dyer who Boggess credits as changing her perspective on life. She quotes the book throughout her performance and even encourages the audience to pick up their own copy. At some points the couplets of wisdom outstay their welcome, but Ms. Boggess' crystal sounding voice makes up for the unwanted jibber jabber.
The night starts off where all bouts of inspiration do, in confidence, with the delightful Rodgers and Hammerstein tune, "I Have Confidence." Boggess' set list includes everything from show arias from her favorite operas, Disney tunes and Broadway classics. Boggess graciously extends her stage time to include her father, Mike Boggess, who accompanies her on the guitar playing "Wildflowers." It soon becomes a family affair with her sister, Summer Boggess, playing the cello on selected numbers.
Highlights of the recording include "The Ultimate Medley with Apologies to Andrew Lloyd Webber," which takes a hilarious spin on pop stars and opera singers miscast in Webber musicals. The romp shows off the range of expression and sense of humor Boggess can deliver when put to the test. Her rendition of "Think of Me" done as an impression of a pop star ala Brittney Spears is pure entertainment.
The clear-toned power of her voice is best showcased in "A Quiet Thing" from Kander & Ebb's Flora the Red Menace. Her voice immediately places you in the scene alongside the bittersweet realization that some of life's greatest experiences are the simplest. She uses the song to explain her emotional reaction to meeting her idol, Barbra Streisand, backstage after a concert in Brooklyn. Her rendition of the song is powerful enough to ignite a revival of the musical.
The most honest and touching part of the evening surrounds Boggess' recollection of her grandparents. She reminisces going through a collection of old letters of correspondence between her grandfather (a World War II veteran) and her grandmother during the 1940s. This section personifies the power of love one can achieve with sacrifice and perseverance. Boggess brings the evening to a climax as she sings "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes." I did not attend the live concert but can't imagine a dry eye in the house after hearing this heartfelt story accompanied by a clenching ode to past times.
The evening twists and turns between effortless singing intertwined with Dr. Phil-like expressions that teeter between summer camp credos and vacation Bible school. It is clear that the show lacked direction and Boggess could have used an objective point of view on how to package the material. A director might also have helped shaped the songs into Ms. Boggess' own interpretation rather than adding accents and simulated emotion. Boggess has a terrific instrument that is fragile and refined — with creative direction she will undoubtedly reappear as a leading lady of Broadway.
Awakening is available at Amazon.com or for digital download on iTunes.
Take the jump for a video taste of Ms. Boggess singing "Falling in Love with Love.

Q: Create classes with special constructor java With java you can do :
Integer i = 2;

Is it possible to make such "constructor " instantiation + initialization for my own classes ?

A: That's not a constructor, that is an example of autoboxing. The short answer is no. The longer answer is yes, if you're willing to write and run a precompiler (or preprocessor) for your project.

A: This is not actually a constructor.  What this is doing is assigning the int literal 2 to an Integer variable.
Just like assigning the return value of a function to a superclass variable.
i.e.  Person p = getEmployee(7);

A: If I understand what you are saying, you want constructors with default values.
Below is an example:
public class MyClass {
    private int i;

    public MyClass() {
        this(2);
    }

    public MyClass(Integer i) {
        this.i = i;
    }
}

If you have been reading articles on this website about some of the various surgical procedures that people undergo, you will have become familiar with the fact that the recovery period following your operation will often incorporate a certain programme of physiotherapy.
This will often be done both at home and by regular attendances as an outpatient at a physiotherapy unit for a determined period following your surgery.
Whilst surgery can correct certain medical problems, you can often only recover your true physical capabilities and return to full mobility and enjoy as normal a lifestyle as possible if you follow a defined physiotherapy programme after your operation. Although mostly connected to orthopaedics, physiotherapy can help people who have suffered from a variety of other conditions.
For example, it can help following pregnancy and gynaecological surgery, people who have suffered with chronic chest problems and those who have suffered from head injuries or strokes to name but a few.
Generally speaking, the role of a physiotherapist is to incorporate a variety of techniques in order to help your bones, muscles and joints, which may have previously been damaged or broken to work again to their full potential.
By following a recommended physiotherapy program both as an outpatient and through exercises you can do at home, it helps to speed up the recovery and healing process and to reduce stiffness, pain and increase your mobility.
Not only is it just about exercising, a physio's role is also about educating people and offering them advice about how a particular condition they have been suffering from may have arisen, how it might have been prevented in the first place and how to prevent it from reoccurring in the future.
Surgery by itself is not always enough to fix a particular problem and if you are given a programme of physiotherapy to follow, you should follow it to the letter as it is designed to help you get better faster.
Therefore, if you've undergone any kind of surgery in an effort to improve a condition you've been suffering with and your recovery comes with instructions pertaining to a programme of physiotherapy, if you want to give yourself a chance to make a proper and sustained recovery, then you should follow your physiotherapist's instructions, programme and advice to the letter.
By all means, you should feel free to ask any questions about the programme you've been given and to discuss any issues as to why it might not be possible to follow a programme to the exact specifications as set out by your physiotherapist as they may well be able to modify certain aspects to suit your own individual needs and circumstances. The key aspects to always avoid, however, when it comes to physiotherapy are to do nothing or to do too much.
Your physiotherapist is there to ensure that they give you the best possible solutions tailored specifically for you in order that you reach a point in time at which, whatever your problem or condition was in the first instance which necessitated in you requiring surgery, your health, mobility and general physical and mental well-being are all improved significantly as a result, hopefully for the long-term.


People serving in the Australian Defence Force experience good physical health during and after their service, but mental health may be a different story.
ADF personnel tend to have excellent physical health before and after service, but mental health can become a problem upon leaving the force, new research has found.
The Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW) today released two reports comparing causes of death and suicide rates among serving and ex-serving Australian Defence Force (ADF) personnel.
The analysis focused largely on men, who made up the vast majority of ADF personnel (85%) and deaths (92%) during the period of research.
Deaths that occurred overseas in the course of duty were not captured by the data.
Causes of death among serving and ex-serving Australian Defence Force personnel: 2002–2015 found that rates of all causes of death, including chronic disease and injury, were lower among ADF populations than the Australian male population in general. Leading causes of death by age group were also the same for ADF personnel and the general population.
However, there were some significant variations regarding suicide as a cause of death among ADF personnel. These are mentioned in the report on causes of death, but explored more fully in National suicide monitoring of serving and ex-serving Australian Defence personnel: 2018 update.
This report found that the age-adjusted rate of suicide was 51% lower for current serving men when compared to the general Australian population, but 18% higher for ex-serving men.
These results support concerns that the transition to civilian life is a vulnerable time for ADF personnel, one that may increase risk of suicide and other mental health problems.
In response to such concerns, the Federal Government recently increased accessibility to mental health cover for Australian veterans, a move Minister for Veterans' Affairs Darren Chester was keen to highlight as the AIHW reports were released.
'We are committed to supporting the physical and mental health of veterans and these reports provide a valuable contribution to our understanding of veterans' health,' Minister Chester said.
Dr Glenn Pascoe, Chair of the RACGP Specific Interests Chapter of Military Medicine, is supportive of these changes, and urges veterans and their treating GPs to take advantage of them.
'The main thing GPs need to keep in mind is asking someone if they have had previous defence service, particularly if they are presenting for mental health conditions, because they may be eligible to apply for DVA [the Department of Veterans' Affairs] to cover the cost of their [treatment] for mental health conditions,' he told newsGP earlier this year.

Arma-Goddamn-Motherfuckin-Geddon – drugi (po "We're From America") singiel wydany przez grupę Marilyn Manson z ich siódmego albumu The High End of Low. Zawiera oficjalną, albumową wersję, wersję ocenzurowaną – "Arma-Goddamn-Motherfuckin-Geddon (Radio Clean Edit)" i remiks wykonywany przez Teddybears. Singel został opublikowany w Internecie dnia 5 maja 2009 roku, wraz z możliwością wcześniejszego zamówienia całego albumu The High End of Low.

Marilyn Manson wypowiedział się na temat singla w czerwcowym wydaniu magazynu Revolver w następujący sposób:

"Absolutnie nigdy bym nie uwierzył, że wytwórnia płytowa będzie chciała wypuścić tę piosenkę jako singel. Napisałem ją w połowie po to, by ich wkurzyć. Zazwyczaj właśnie takie rzeczy wychodzą z moich ust. Niektórzy ludzie myślą, że mam zaburzenia chromosomów w mózgu, więc wymyślam absurdalne słowa i wyrażenia. Mówię, że to "specjalna cecha superbohatera"."

Together with number 48, these two stuccoed buildings with mirrored-angled entrance doors, form the central pair of an important terrace of houses in central London. Designed by Robert and James Adams and built in the 1770s as a single occupancy residence. It remained as such until the 1930s when it was converted to medical consultancy rooms and flats. In the 1980s an extension was built on the lower ground and ground floors to provide additional office space. More recently the building housed a 370 sqm gallery exhibiting contemporary Chinese art.
As it stood the building comprised office accommodation of the lower ground, ground and 1st floors, with residential on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th floors. The brief was to provide a scheme to redevelop the building for single residential occupancy in the 21st Century (not the 18th Century). The building is Grade II* listed, retaining many of its' original features such as the staircase and ornate plasterwork, so strict planning requirements were in place. In order to comply and work with these restrictions the scheme focused on the internal layout and creating additional space below and above. Demolishing the 1980s rear extension would provide a new basement for a swimming pool, additional family rooms, and a garden terrace on the first floor level. Additional basement excavation would provide space for plant machinery, with further space on the main roof for more plant machinery.

Kaspersky Lab Quarterly Report Shows Zero-Day Exploits and Rampant 'Ransomware'
Kaspersky Lab announced its latest quarterly threat intelligence report, which shows sophisticated threat actors unleashed a wealth of new and enhanced malicious tools, including three zero-day exploits and two unprecedented attacks: WannaCry and ExPetr. The report highlights the expert analysis of these advanced attacks and other trends in cybersecurity from the second quarter of 2017.
From April to the end of June, experts witnessed significant developments in targeted attacks by, among others, Russian-, English-, Korean-, and Chinese-speaking threat actors. These developments showed that sophisticated, malicious activity is happening continuously across the world and are increasing the risk of companies and non-commercial organizations becoming collateral damage of cyber warfare. The allegedly nation-state backed WannaCry and ExPetr destructive epidemics, whose victims included many companies and organizations globally, became the first example of this new and dangerous trend.
According to the Kaspersky Lab report, highlights in Q2 of 2017 include:
Three Windows zero-day exploits being used in-the-wild by the Russian-speaking Sofacy and Turla threat actors - Sofacy, also known as APT28 or FancyBear, deployed the exploits against a range of European targets, including government and political organizations. The threat actor was also observed trying out some experimental tools, most notably against a French political party member in advance of the French national elections.
Gray Lambert - Kaspersky Lab analyzed the most advanced toolkit to date for the Lamberts group, a highly sophisticated and complex, English-speaking cyberespionage family, identifying two new related malware families.
The WannaCry attack on May 12 and the ExPetr attack on June 27 - While very different in nature and targets, both were surprisingly ineffective as 'ransomware.' For example, in the case of WannaCry, its rapid global spread and high profile put a spotlight on the attackers' Bitcoin ransom account and made it hard for them to cash out. This suggests that the real aim of the WannaCry attack was data destruction. Kaspersky Lab experts discovered further ties between the Lazarus group and WannaCry. The pattern of destructive malware disguised as ransomware showed itself again in the ExPetr attack.
ExPetr, targeting organizations in the Ukraine, Russia and elsewhere in Europe – It also appeared to be ransomware but turned out to be purely destructive. The motive behind the ExPetr attacks remains a mystery. Kaspersky Lab experts have established a low confidence link to the threat actor known as Black Energy.
"We have long maintained the importance of truly global threat intelligence to aid defenders of sensitive and critical networks," said Juan Andres Guerrero-Saade, senior security researcher, Global Research and Analysis Team, Kaspersky Lab. "We continue to witness the development of overzealous attackers with no regard for the health of the internet and those in vital institutions and businesses who rely on it on a daily basis. As cyberespionage, sabotage, and crime run rampant, it's all the more important for defenders to band together and share cutting-edge knowledge to better defend against all threats."
The Q2 APT Trends report summarizes the findings of Kaspersky Lab's subscriber-only threat intelligence reports. During the second quarter of 2017, the Kaspersky Lab Global Research and Analysis Tam created 23 private reports for subscribers, with Indicators of Compromise (IOC) data and YARA rules to assist in forensics and malware-hunting.

HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR FINANCIAL WELLBEING IN 2021
17 Jan 2021 9:48 AM | Jean Murray (Administrator)
AMP's 2020 Financial Wellness report shows 50% of Australians carry some anxiety about their finances, with women more financially stressed than men.
Ilaine Anderson in Financy looks at the 3 action areas that can help women improve their financial wellbeing and kick 2021 off to a good start. She recommends women:
take action to improve our knowledge and understanding of key financial drivers, including superannuation, debt and cashflow management, insurance and basic investment principles, by tapping into online resources
take the time to set goals and put a plan in place to achieve them – connecting finances with goals helps us engage with our finances, and then having a plan to achieve these goals can significantly ease stress
as employers and leaders, provide female staff with access to online tools and information/education that can be easily accessed at a convenient time and to education programs which help women understand how they can boost their super balances.

Senate Select Committee on COVID -19 – First Interim Report
07 Jan 2021 5:39 PM | Angela Tomazos (Administrator)
Last month , the first interim report was released with eS4W as witness to presentation to the Senate Select Committee (Represented by Roselynne Anderson- Chair eS4W and Sharen Page- Coordinator eS4W).
Highlights in the report that referenced the submission of eS4W summarised below. BPW Australia is a member organisation of eS4W – a National Women's Alliance.
A copy of the committee's first interim report can be accessed here https://www.aph.gov.au/Parliamentary_Business/Committees/Senate/COVID-19/COVID19/Interim_Report/section?id=committees%2freportsen%2f024513%2f73670
The Grattan Institute's submission found that women were economically worse off when compared to other notable demographic groups,83 while economic Security4Women (eS4W) highlighted that:
Women have been disproportionately affected during COVID-19. They make up the majority of front-line workers in care, and education and are overrepresented in precarious employment, including in the informal sector, where their benefits and protection are inadequate or lacking.84
84 - economic Security4Women (eS4W), Submission 179, p. 9.
Failure to incorporate known inequities, such as those in superannuation outcomes, has promoted greater disparity. eS4W asserted in its submission that their analysis of Australian Prudential Regulation Authority and ATO data found women, who already retire with 47 per cent less super than men,89 withdrew 4.5 per cent of their balance on average compared to 2.5 per cent for men accessing the scheme.90
89 eS4W, Submission 179, p. 6.
The committee strongly shares the view of eS4W that:
Moving forward we encourage the Government to apply a gender lens on all policies…
Women's economic empowerment will be essential if we are to ensure effective and sustainable economic recovery from COVID-19 in
Australia. 95
2020 JEAN HAILES WOMEN'S HEALTH SURVEY
02 Jan 2021 10:05 AM | Jean Murray (Administrator)
This annual Women's Health Survey researches the health experiences, needs and behaviours of Australian women. It examines gaps in women's health information and identifies future health needs of women - as identified by women themselves. It also explores and describes women's current health experiences and behaviours. The snapshot summary reveals that a significant proportion of women in Australia are not receiving the health information and support they need. The report includes the impact of COVID-19 and the bushfires.
The survey sample was largely English-speaking university-educated women who were born in Australia, weighted for age and education to be more representative of the national population. Too few respondents identified as being from a CALD background or Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander so data must be interpreted with caution since it has been reported that CALD women have been significantly impacted by the pandemic.
WOMEN'S FINANCIAL PROGRESS IS AN EVOLUTIONARY NEED
27 Dec 2020 12:37 PM | Jean Murray (Administrator)
Financy produces the Financy Women's Index – a report card on women's progress towards economic equality with men in Australia. Financial vulnerabilities and on-going inequalities faced by many Australian women have been exposed by COVID-19 during 2020. Early in the pandemic, female job losses outnumbered male as key industries went into lockdown, home schooling was introduced and social restrictions were enforced. However as restrictions were eased, female employment growth recovered at a faster rate than male. This finding helped to lift the Financy Women's Index by 2.2%. We know wherever gender gaps existed before the crisis, they have persisted during it, and in many ways, women's advancement has circled back in time. The number of women engaged in part and full-time work today is similar to 12 to 18 months ago; the number of women studying post-school educational courses is where it was 2 years ago; the gender pay gap is where it stood this time last year. There is uncertainty about what the gender gap in unpaid work will look like because of COVID-19 and women's long-term financial security, as measured through superannuation.
REAFFIRMING GENDER EQUITY AFTER COVID-19
21 Dec 2020 8:47 AM | Jean Murray (Administrator)
At the 1995 Beijing World Conference on Women, Hilary Clinton declared that "women's rights are human rights" and the Beijing Platform for Action laid a powerful and necessary foundation stone for our fight for gender equality.
French President Emmanuel Macron recently noted: "It's no secret that, in 2020, the Beijing Declaration would have no chance of being adopted".
In 2020, 25 years later, Sex Discrimination Commissioner Kate Jenkins delivered the opening address to the Beijing Platform for Action at 25 conference. Her full speech is available here. She reported that the Beijing documents remain largely aspirational; progress has been slow and some of that progress is under threat. She stressed the need to accelerate our efforts, and be increasingly strategic, if we want to finish the job.
As the COVID-19 pandemic rages on throughout the world, countries everywhere are thinking about how to rebuild. The evidence is clear that, if our recovery efforts focus on creating more equal and diverse societies, women, girls and societies as a whole will benefit enormously. 25 years on from Beijing, with many of the economic and social structures we took for granted a year ago now in flux, this is a golden opportunity to reaffirm the spirit of the Beijing documents, and use everything we have learned in the past 25 years to take swift, meaningful leaps forward towards gender equality.
AUSTRALIA'S NEWEST SUPERSTARS OF STEM
Superstars of STEM aims to smash society's gender assumptions about scientists and increase the public visibility of women in STEM.
Science & Technology Australia, Australia's peak body in science and technology, represents more than 80,000 scientists and technologists and is an influential voice for evidence and expertise in public policy.
STA started Superstars of STEM to create a critical mass of celebrity Australian women who work as scientists and technologists - role models for young women and girls – and to work towards equal representation in the media of women and men working in all fields in STEM. Over 5 years they have equipped 150 women working in STEM with advanced communication skills and provided them with genuine opportunities to use these skills – in the media, on the stage and in speaking with decision makers.

WOB: 5 QUALITIES THAT BOARD MEMBERS NEED
07 Dec 2020 11:58 AM | Jean Murray (Administrator)
Suzy Cairney has learned a thing or two about boards. Here she discusses the 5 key qualities that she deems important for successful board members to have. She lists:
Leadership: confidence, communication and listening skills, persistence, emotional intelligence, vision, enthusiasm, integrity and decisiveness
Curiosity: keep learning and questioning, focus on problem-solving, continually adding value
Lean in: winning a seat at the table is not enough, build relationships with other board members, executives and staff
Understand the business: the financial, strategic, legal, governance and operational aspects of the business and the industry and customer settings
Positivity: don't be overwhelmed by the amount of information and the legal burden, look for the silver lining - positively seeking improved processes, procedures and relationships
In this new post-COVID world, these qualities might be the difference between success and failure for aspiring Board Members.
TRANSFORMING AUSTRALIA: SDG PROGRESS REPORT
29 Nov 2020 9:53 AM | Jean Murray (Administrator)
The National Sustainable Development Council's comprehensive independent report on Australia's progress towards meeting the Sustainable Development Goals provides a data-driven assessment of Australia's mixed progress towards meeting the SDGs.
The report is available as a summary report and as an interactive website with charts for each of the indicators. Explore the data by SDG to see how we going on goals such as gender equality, ending poverty and decent work.
The report shows that Australia is performing well in health and education but is failing to address cost of living pressures and economic inequality. Women continue to lose out on pay equality and housework parity and have been disproportionately affected by COVID-19, being more likely to lose their jobs and experience psychological distress.
Of 56 indicators, only 12 are on track to meet the 2030 targets. COVID-19 has exacerbated trends — including higher levels of unemployment, poverty and psychological distress — that were emerging before COVID-19, and that could fracture Australian society.
WOMEN IN FINANCE MUST ASK FOR PROMOTION, UNLIKE MEN
23 Nov 2020 3:33 PM | Jean Murray (Administrator)
A survey by Australian National University and Ardea Investment Management of 2,000 finance industry professionals showed 76% of men were offered a promotion at least once without requesting it, compared with 57% of women.
Bloomberg reports the study found that women asked for pay increases and promotions at the same rate as men, and there was no difference between their success rates in these situations. However, financial corporations offered men promotions they didn't ask for more often than such offers were made to women.
ANU researcher Bronwen Whiting said the findings offer evidence of a culture whereby promotions are offered to men without asking, and underscores institutional gender bias which has historically disfavoured women in the world of finance. The findings show continuous gaps and trends within the workforce, including male fund managers on average earning more than twice as much as female managers and men in compliance roles earning 76% more than women.
If this is happening in the finance sector, where else is this bias evident? And is anyone measuring the gaps?
THE HIGH COST OF NOT FUNDING CHILDCARE – AND WHO PAYS IT
The Parenthood is presenting a series of 3 free online panel events in November with Business Chicks and Thrive by Five, with expert speakers and leaders who will inform and inspire, explaining why investing in universal access to high quality early education is the smart choice for Australia. The first webinar on 12 November explored why overhauling early education is the key to gender equality at work. The panel included Georgie Dent from The Parenthood, Jay Weatherill from Thrive by Five, Emma Carter as an Aboriginal Early Learning expert and longterm advocate for women Wendy McCarthy AO.
Working Australian families pay more for childcare than similar countries. The considerable cost of not funding early learning will be borne by children and families as well as the economy. And the staff are 97% women, often with CALD backgrounds, who are underpaid for their qualifications and expertise – it's a career not just a job.
My summary: it's about parents [not just mums], it's about children [not just the economy], it's about early learning [not just childcare]. Mainstream solutions can't simply be transferred to Aboriginal communities - they need to be adapted to local cultural needs. The next free webinar is on the Juggle of Work and Care, Tuesday 17 November.
Kate Noble from the Mitchell Institute summarises preschool funding across states and territories in The Conversation – much more complex than many of us realise – and exhorts that consistent and adequate funding should be an election issue.

What is pro-monarchy protest all about?
Published On: December 10, 2020 07:27 AM NPT By: Sarans Pandey

The author is an undergraduate student at Macquarie University, Sydney

Will war with Covid-19 make a better state?
Nepal should rethink approaches of combating Covid-19
What went wrong with Nepali democracy?
Paradox of republic
Because of the government's inability to provide 'freedom from' things like exploitation, corruption and poverty, citizens are thinking about giving up on 'freedom to' with hopes that a monarch might at least be able to provide the former.
When the citizens of a country are able to freely protest and share their difference of opinions, we can assume that the country is democratic. But what does it say about the state of democracy if the people are exercising their right to expression, which was acquired through years of struggle and sacrifice, in support of an autocratic intervention?
In the last few weeks, we saw rallies in cities like Pokhara, Chitwan and Kathmandu that demanded the restoration of monarchy. Former Prime Minister and one of the leaders of the Maoist revolution, Dr Baburam Bhattarai, was quick to comment on the issue as he warned the younger generation to not turn their backs on the republic just because of the leadership's inability to steer the country towards prosperity. This brings us to the question about what the public really wants and what they are willing to do should they not get it.
In 1989 Francis Fukuyama published an essay "The end of History?" that later took the form of a book in which he essentially argued that Western liberal democracy was the "final form of human government". This was primarily based on the idea that a liberal democracy among other political systems was able to better satisfy two main concerns of the society. The first once was its ability to address the demand for material wealth. The second one was the recognition of human worth that it theoretically acknowledged. In both cases, people's perception is vital. Now even though Fukuyama has himself accepted that the superiority of Western liberal democracy isn't as clear cut and the debate about political and economic systems will go beyond the 'end', his basis of measuring the performance of political systems nonetheless still remains quite relevant. The pursuit of material wealth is directly related to and reflected by economic progress. The more prosperous a country the better the chances of citizens acquiring material wealth.
A lot of research has gone into studying the relationship between democracy and economic growth and many have argued that the former leads to the latter. If we have a look at the richest countries in the world, we will find that the overwhelming majority of them are democracies. However, there are exceptions. There are some democratic countries that are very poor and then there are countries like China who belong to the other end of political spectrum and have an economy that many countries can only dream of. The 'Brazilian Miracle', for instance, was a period of unprecedented economic growth that happened under a military dictatorship. Except for the years after 2015 leading up to the pandemic, Nepal has not seen consistent and rapid economic growth rate after 2001 that could live up to the lofty and absurd promises made by the champions of the federal republic.
As a result, there is this frustration among people who are unable to tell the difference that the dawn of this constitution/political system brought. There are also factors that make it difficult to notice change. One of the most easily visible indicators and outcomes of growth is the state of infrastructure among which roadways are hard to miss. And the general consensus, at least in the capital, is that they have been bad for a long time—which to the mind of the public symbolizes the presence of an ineffective state and serves as evidence of failed development. Because there is no consistent 'rapid' economic growth on paper and there is no visually discernable progress in terms of infrastructure, people might be tempted to think that the continuation of the republic does not hold the potential to satisfy their pursuit of prosperity. But despite a country's inability to perform well economically, citizens can still continue to wholeheartedly embrace a democratic system because of assurances of freedom and equality that all human beings typically strive for. This is linked with Fukuyama's second point about recognition of human worth.
The central idea behind a democracy is that every opinion and voice matters and that the ones in power are there to serve the interests of the mass. The only problem in Nepal is that those statements don't ring true.
There are two prominent ways through which citizens can take part in a democratic process. The first is when they vote politicians into power and the second is when they voice their concerns through demonstrations to the ones they voted in the first place. We are yet to see timely and regular election cycles so people don't see the relevancy of the first way, which means that all they have been relying on in the past and are left with in the present is their voice. And when the leadership continually ignores the pleas of the public then it is understandable for people to feel alienated and oppressed in a system that should—according to the popular and somewhat misleading understanding of democracy—be anything but.
This makes people question the point of democracy altogether—you are yet to vote regularly and for the time being your voice goes unheard. What political system does that sound like?
Graham Allison, a professor of Government at Harvard Kennedy School, says that the idea of liberty includes 'freedom from' and 'freedom to'. What we currently see in Nepal is that because of the government's inability to provide 'freedom from' things like exploitation, corruption, poverty et cetera, the citizens are thinking about giving up on 'freedom to' means like expression and participation with hopes that a monarch or an authoritative figure might at least be able to provide the former.
Singapore is one country that has found success in such a tradeoff. But then again, Nepal is no Singapore. After many many years, we now find ourselves very close to completing the democratizing process and if we could hold free and fair elections regularly for at least a couple of more election cycles and have stable governments in office serving full terms, then perhaps some of the frustration of people would dissipate. But given the impatient nature of the public, some of whom who do buy into the idea of utopian change, it might be difficult to convince them that reverting from democracy at this stage is not the fairytale option.
The current state might be ineffective and apathetic and it might itself represent autocracy, but it can change if we participate in timely and regular elections.

Winter Storm – January 21—23, 2016
From January 21-23, a significant winter storm affected areas of the United States from the Southeast to the Mid-Atlantic to New England. The winter storm, unofficially named "Jonas" by the Weather Channel, produced significant snowfall totals from Washington D.C. to the New York Metro area, breaking many daily snowfall records. Strong winds together with blowing snow often reduced visibility below a quarter mile. Strong onshore winds brought hurricane-force wind gusts to some areas and drove a storm surge impacting areas of Delaware and New Jersey.
The storm also produced freezing rain over areas of the Carolinas, Kentucky, Tennessee and Virginia, with severe thunderstorms over the Southeast. Media reports indicate at least 46 fatalities as a result of the storm. The storm rendered severe disruption to transportation including road, rail, air and local transit. The storm developed and strengthened along the boundary separating arctic air from warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic.
Three day snowfall accumulation – 72 hours ending 7 a.m. EST, January 24. Source: NOAA/NOHRSC
Hazard data illustrated in the CAT-i map was taken from GC AdvantagePoint®, Guy Carpenter's web-based risk management platform. GC AdvantagePoint users can view impacted areas on any map as well as see how their portfolios were affected. Please contact your broker or cat modeling analyst for further information.
Media reports indicate at least 46 fatalities associated with the storm, resulting from vehicle accidents, carbon monoxide poisoning and heart attacks while shoveling. Significant coastal flooding was reported in some areas of New Jersey resulting in flooded homes. At least 250,000 lost power during the storm. The storm also rendered severe transportation disruption to affected areas, including road, rail, air and local transit systems. Nearly 12,000 flights were cancelled over the weekend. Around 2,000 flights were cancelled or delayed Monday according to media reports. Some areas affected by the storm also suffered disruption to retail, restaurants and entertainment. It will take time to reliably assess the full economic and insurance impacts of this event.
At least one fatality was reported when a person collapsed while shoveling snow, according to media reports. Federal government offices were closed as of noon Friday and remained closed on Tuesday. The Washington D.C. mayor stated that city public schools would remain closed on Tuesday. The city suffered significant transportation disruption to road, rail and air, as well as local transit. Rail and bus services resumed limited service on Monday. Officials reported that all but one line on the Washington D.C. subway system would resume service Tuesday. Media reports indicate that the city has applied for federal disaster relief to aid in the cost of the snowstorm.
Media reports indicate at least four fatalities in the state as a result of the storm. Emergency officials responded to over 400 auto accidents and towed over 200 vehicles by Sunday morning, according to the New York Police Department. A travel ban was issued to allow for snow removal and to preserve routes for emergency vehicles. The travel ban was lifted Sunday morning. After significant disruption, New York City subways, buses and Metro-North Railroad service were operating normally by Monday morning. Partial service on the Long Island Rail Road was restored on three of its twelve branches according to media reports. The New York Stock Exchange opened as usual on Monday morning, as did New York City schools. Snow removal efforts are ongoing and have been challenging for areas of New York. Entertainment, restaurants and retail were all severely disrupted, including cancellation of a concert at Madison Square Garden.
At least three fatalities were reported by media in association with the storm. Coastal flooding was a significant concern due to storm surge, with moderate to major flooding affecting areas of Atlantic and Cape May Counties. Ocean City, Stone Harbor and Cape May experienced flood levels surpassing those of Sandy (2012) according to media reports. Road closures and some evacuations were necessary and many homes flooded on North Wildwood's north side. Reports also indicate significant beach erosion as a result of storm surge and heavy surf. Power outages affected more than 90,000 customers during the storm, with most service restored by Sunday afternoon according to reports.
Media reports indicated at least seven fatalities connected to the storm. A roof collapse was reported at a church in Downington, Pennsylvania. On Friday night, a collision resulted in over 500 automobiles, trucks and buses stranded on a 16-mile stretch of interstate 76 in Somerset and Bedford Counties. At least 400 people sought refuge in shelters and hotels until their vehicles were freed. Philadelphia area SEPTA transit service was suspended on Sunday, with some exceptions. Many schools remained closed on Monday, with ongoing closures or delayed openings on Tuesday in the Philadelphia area.
One fatality was reported as a result of a heart attack while shoveling snow. Coastal flooding was a concern along the Delaware coast, causing road closures and some evacuations in the Oak Orchard Community, according to media reports. Reports also indicate that the driving warning and state of emergency for Delaware were lifted as of Monday morning.
Media reports indicate at least two fatalities related to the storm. A church roof collapsed in Montgomery County, Maryland. A woman was reported trapped in her car for three days in Accokeek. Power outages affected as many as 10,000 customers, with restoration to most by Sunday. A travel ban was in place in the City of Baltimore and lifted early Sunday morning, although residents are still advised to avoid non-essential travel to aid snow-removal efforts. Schools remained closed on Tuesday according to media reports.
At least nine fatalities were associated with the storm, according to media reports. In Loudoun County, a home burned to the ground on an unplowed road, where firefighters had to stretch hoses over 800 feet to reach the home; all occupants survived the fire. State police responded to nearly 1,600 vehicle crashes and over 2,500 disabled vehicles. Government offices and schools remained closed on Monday.
Media reports indicate at least six fatalities associated with auto accidents during the storm. About 150,000 customers lost power during the storm, with restoration to most by Sunday according to reports. The scale of power outages was associated with freezing rain affecting the state.
Meteorological Summary and Observations
With arctic air in place across the eastern United States and a boundary with warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic Ocean, conditions were optimal to produce a significant winter storm. An upper-level disturbance interacting with this boundary enabled the development of a low pressure area which tracked across the southeastern United States before transferring to the North Carolina Outer Banks. The low then tracked along the coast before moving out into the Atlantic well offshore of Atlantic Canada.
On January 21, the storm left eight inches of snow near Little Rock, Arkansas and 0.3 inches of ice in Mozelle, Kentucky. Severe thunderstorms in the warm sector of the storm produced widespread hail and non-tornadic wind reports. One tornado was reported in Lamar Co., Mississippi, rendering significant damage to 10 to 12 homes, according to the U.S. Storm Prediction Center (SPC). The storm then produced record-setting daily and event-total snowfalls, together with significant icing for areas of Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia and the Carolinas. The storm also brought windy conditions over a large area, with wind gusts of 75 mph reported at Dewey Beach, Delaware and Langley AFB, Virginia. Windy conditions together with blowing snow caused significantly reduced visibility from Washington D.C. to the New York Metro area, often reduced below a quarter mile.
Historical snowfall amounts were observed, affecting high-population areas from Washington D.C. to the New York Metro area. The snowstorm produced an event total of 26.8 inches of snow in New York Central Park, the second- highest total for any storm since 1869 and barely missing the 26.9 inches set in February 2006. Calendar day snowfall records were broken at New York Central Park, La Guardia Airport and JFK Airport, as well as Newark, New Jersey; Allentown and Harrisburg, Pennsylvania and Baltimore, Maryland. Event total snowfall records were set at New York LaGuardia and JFK Airports; Newark, New Jersey; Allentown and Harrisburg, Pennsylvania and Baltimore, Maryland.
The excessive snowfall amounts were a result of the slow motion of the storm, aggressive upper-level storm dynamics and abundant moisture. Rotation and expansion of the active area of snowfall led to higher snowfall amounts than first expected. Banding structures within the active area of snowfall, together with strong winds also caused snowfall accumulations to vary significantly from region to region. Winter storm and blizzard watches were issued by the National Weather Service well in advance of the storm.
The storm brought persistent strong, onshore winds, leading to a notable storm surge as high as 4 to 5 feet for coastal Delaware, Delaware Bay and southern, coastal New Jersey. This storm surge, coupled with a full moon and astronomical high tide, brought record-setting tidal levels to coastal areas of Delaware and southern New Jersey. A record tide of 9.27 feet was recorded (relative to mean lower low water) at Lewes, Delaware, surpassing the previous record of 9.20 feet recorded in March, 1962. Record high tides were also reported in Cape May and Stone Harbor, New Jersey, surpassing the tidal levels of Sandy (2012). The surge heights and resulting impacts for points north of Atlantic City were of much lesser severity.

Q: How to set different (if) parameters for the same number in a list?
*

*I don't even know how to format this paragraph right haha

Hi there I'm completely new to Python.
I was wondering if I have a list
how do I take the output of a first if command and use on the next
Example
L= [23, 91, 0, -11, 4, 23, 49]
for i in L:
if(i > 10):
print(i * 30)
example
I also want to check if the output of this number is an even number if so (+6) -- for the output of that
if number is not equal to -11 I want to add 10.
So I got 23 > 10= (23*30 = 690) // 690 is an even number ( 690 + 6=696) // it not equal to -11 so (696+10= 706).
How do I do this for every number on the list? Excuse my lack of knowledge it's literally my first python class and my first exercises.

A: Is that what you want?
L= [23, 91, 0, -11, 4, 23, 49]

for i in L:
    if i > 10:
        num = i * 30
        if num % 2 == 0:
            num += 6
            if i != -11:
                num += 10
        else:
            pass
        print(num)

output:
706
2746
706
1486


Built on the core thought of letting the bat do the talking, "Ab inka balla bolega", the campaign drives home the fact that anyone can excel at the world stage if given the right platform and opportunity, as seen by the 'Women in Blue' and their breakout run at the ICC Women's World Cup 2017.
Apart from the TVC, the campaign also urges us to encourage talent with an equal lens, irrespective of gender in every sphere of life, by launching the #GiftABat movement.
The Indian women's team, led by Harmanpreet Kaur, will face New Zealand in their opening game of the tournament on 9 November 2018. Besides New Zealand, Australia, Ireland and traditional rivals - Pakistan are the other teams pitted in the same group as India. Fans can catch all the action starting 8.30 pm on SS1 – SS1 HD and Hotstar.
