New study shows strong links between music and math, reading achievement
by University of Kansas

Music educator Martin J. Bergee thought that if he could just control his study for the myriad factors that might have influenced previous ones—race, income, education, etc.—he could disprove the notion of a link between students' musical and mathematical achievement.
Nope. His new study,"Multilevel Models of the Relationship Between Music Achievement and Reading and Math Achievement," published in the Journal of Research in Music Education, showed statistically significant associations between the two at both the individual and the school-district levels. That the study of more than 1,000 mainly middle-school-aged students showed no such association at the classroom or school levels only shows how rigorously it was conceived by Bergee, a professor in the University of Kansas School of Music, and his co-author and Ph.D. student, currently a visiting professor of music education at the University of Washington, Kevin M. Weingarten.
The study has implications for school-board members considering budgets that impact music programs. It adds to the body of scientific research showing linkages between music and math/reading. And in his conclusion, Bergee even suggests some specific reasons for why that might be.
"There has been this notion for a long time," Bergee said recently, "that not only are these areas related, but there's a cause-and-effect relationship—that as you get better in one area, you will, per se, get better in another area. The more you study music, the better you're going to be at math or reading. That's always been suspect with me.
"I've always believed that the relationship is correlational and not causational. I set out to demonstrate that there are probably a number of background variables that are influencing achievement in any academic area—in particular, things like the educational level of the family, where the student lives, whether they are white or non-white, and so forth.
"Those variables are in the article, and there are about lots of them. My intention was to was to show that the relationships are probably spurious, meaning that background influences are the main drivers of the relationships, and once those outside influences, like demographics, etc., are controlled for, the relationship essentially disappears.
"But hang on. Much to my surprise, not only did they not disappear, but the relationships are really strong."
Bergee "apologizes for the complexity" of the study's design, but said "it's not an easy thing to determine, because there are influences that can happen at different levels. It can be an influence at the level of the individual person, but there are also influences that can happen at the classroom, school and school-district level, and those are hierarchical. That involves a complicated set of analyses.
Even though he was prepared to write "a completely different conclusion," Bergee said he has thought a lot about what the findings show.
The authors write that, "Perhaps music discrimination at a more micro level—pitches, intervals, meters—shares a cognitive basis with certain patterns of discrimination in speech. Similarly,perhaps the more macro skills of modal and tonal center discrimination share somepsychological or neurological space with aspects of math cognition. ... Results of the present study ... at least point to the possibility."
In a recent interview, Bergee said, "Based on the findings, the point we tried to make is that there might be, and probably are, general learning processes that underlie all academic achievement, no matter what the area is. Music achievement, math achievement, reading achievement—there are probably more generalized processes of the mind that are brought to bear on any of those areas.
"Therefore, if your goal is to educate the person—to develop the person's mind—then you need to educate the whole person. In other words, learning may not be as modular as it is often thought to be."
It implies more than introducing children to subjects, Bergee said: "Develop them in these subjects. See that learning is taking place. See that development is, too."Bergee said his study wasn't intended to show that learning music will necessarily improve a child's math or reading scores.
"It would not be impossible, but really difficult to do a truly definitive study," Bergee said. "My inclination is that it would not show a strong effect, but that's what I said about this study! I actually don't know."
But he can say this: "If you want a young person's—or any person's—mind to develop, then you need to develop it in all ways it can be developed. You can't sacrifice some modes of learning to other modes of learning for whatever reason, be it financial or societal."
High achievement cultures may kill students' interest in math—especially for girls

Wilshere fitness not a concern for England, says Hodgson
By Husmukh Kerai
The Three Lions boss is not worried by the Arsenal midfielder's ankle problem and is fully aware of the need to carefully manage the 21-year-old's long-term international career
England manager Roy Hodgson insists that he is not concerned by Jack Wilshere's latest injury blow.
The Arsenal midfielder has been ruled out of the Three Lions' upcoming games against San Marino and Montenegro with an ankle problem but the 65-year-old stresses that the starlet has a long-term international future and should not be classed as injury-prone.
"I've got no reason to believe that at the moment," the England manager told the FA's official website.
ENGLAND LATEST
4/1 England are 4/1 with Bet365 to beat San Marino 4-0 in their World Cup qualifier
"It was a great blow to Arsenal and England when Wilshere missed 14 months with a fracture but since then, the last two or three months, he has been playing regularly, played a lot of games.
"Unfortunately, he has taken a knock and the X-rays show he needs to rest and not take any further knocks on the ankle. That's how we've understood it. But I don't think it's fair to say he is always injured. Since he's been back from the long injury, he has hardly missed a game."
The former Liverpool and West Brom boss adds that he is prepared to take on board advice from Arsenal on how to manage Wilshere's fitness.
"Who knows what the situation will be in the summer with players, but when it comes to the friendlies, I'm much more prepared to take in the wishes of clubs and to even give chances to other players," Hodgson continued.
"I think it is important when it comes to the qualifiers, the Manchester Uniteds, Liverpools, Chelseas, Arsenals, Tottenhams, I need them to be supporting England by releasing their players.
"If, for example, it was suggested Wilshere would be ill-advised to travel to Brazil, I would take that on board when the situation arises."

Boxer Manny Pacquiao to run for Philippine president in 2022
MANILA -Boxing star Manny Pacquiao said on Sunday he will run for president of the Philippines next year, after railing against corruption in government and what he calls President Rodrigo Duterte's cozy relationship with China.
Pacquiao accepted the nomination of his political allies during the national assembly of the faction he leads in the ruling PDP-Laban Party, days after a rival faction nominated Duterte's long-time aide, Senator Christopher "Bong" Go https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/philippine-senator-first-declare-2022-run-presidency-2021-09-08, as its presidential candidate.
That faction nominated Duterte for vice president, a move that critics called a cynical ploy by Duterte to retain power.
Go declined the nomination, but the rift between the Pacquiao and Duterte factions has escalated.
"I am a fighter, and I will always be a fighter inside and outside the ring," Pacquiao, 42, a senator, said in a live-streamed speech during the assembly. "I am accepting your nomination as candidate for president of the Republic of the Philippines."
Pacquiao's faction has not expressed support for Duterte's vice-presidential bid. Duterte is prohibited by the constitution from running for a second six-year term as president.
One of the greatest boxers of all time and the only man to hold world titles in eight different divisions, Pacquiao was mum about his 26-year professional career.
Despite his popularity, Pacquiao trails the front-runners in opinion polls that have been topped consistently by Duterte's daughter https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/duterte-daughter-seek-re-election-mayor-despite-calls-presidency-run-2021-09-16, Sara Duterte-Carpio.
In July, Pacquiao was voted out https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/philippines-pacquiao-ousted-president-ruling-party-after-row-2021-07-17 as PDP-Laban leader, weeks after challenging Duterte over his position on China and record on fighting corruption, but his ouster was rejected by his faction.
Pacquiao, once a close ally of Duterte, had said more than 10 billion pesos ($200 million) in pandemic aid intended for poor families was unaccounted for, adding this was just one discovery in his planned corruption investigation https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/boxer-pacquiao-backs-corruption-claims-with-missing-public-funds-allegation-2021-07-03.
His anti-corruption crusade comes as the Senate has opened an investigation into alleged overpricing of medical supplies and equipment purchased under the government's pandemic response programme.
Duterte challenged Pacquiao to name corrupt government offices to prove that the boxer was not just politicking ahead of the election.
Pacquiao countered by warning of jail for corrupt government officials: "Your time is up!"

New podcast targets Latinos ahead of 2020 elections
HITN's "Estudio DC" features interviews with members of Congress and other experts.
With the 2020 general election just weeks away, Latinos are poised to play a role in key races – and there's a new podcast aimed at keeping them informed on the biggest issues.
On Tuesday, HITN is launching a weekly podcast featuring members of Congress talking about politics and policy experts discussing pressing matters like the COVID-19 response. The New York-based Spanish-language media company, which already produces a Washington-oriented Sunday morning TV show called "Estudio DC," will convert each episode of that show into a slimmed down 35-minute podcast. The company hopes the format will help attract and engage younger listeners and others who aren't HITN subscribers. And for political insiders in New York and elsewhere who don't speak Spanish, there'll be an English translation posted as well.
City & State spoke with HITN President and CEO Michael Nieves about the new "Estudio DC" podcast, the highlights of the inaugural episode with Rep. José E. Serrano, and more. This interview has been edited for length and clarity.
So tell me about your new podcast.
We're launching the podcast (on Tuesday). It's a podcast that translates our talk show that we have on Sundays, "Estudio DC," which is hosted by Gerson Borrero. Our first episode is the exclusive interview that Gerson had with Congressman José Serrano, who's retiring. He had only agreed to be interviewed by HITN and Borrero – that's the only interview he's given since he announced that he's leaving Congress because of his illness. So we're very lucky to be the ones he agreed to talk to. So now we're going to translate that and put it out in English, but our channel is a Spanish-language channel.
Any highlights from your first episode with Serrano?
He goes into the reason why he's leaving Congress. He talks about his major achievements, what he's most proud of. People will be interested in hearing about the machinations behind the scenes as chair of his committee. He's frank and upfront about the illness, which is what most people are going to be curious about. That's what's going to sell that particular episode. We have other episodes about other electeds that we've interviewed over the years, and we're in the process now of translating a bunch of them. We have Nydia Velázquez. We have Luis Gutiérrez. We have "Chuy" Garcia from Chicago. We're trying to offer our viewing audience, which is the Latino audience, most of it Spanish language, something that is particular to them. But we believe that there are enough people across the country who are interested in this growing demographic of Hispanics that they would be interested in hearing what our more senior people in Congress have to say, and it'll be a way for them to not figure out what Nydia is saying – they can actually hear her in these interviews.
So this will include New York elected officials, but also members of Congress from around the country?
Yes. It's a Washington-based talk show program on Sundays. It's geared more to the Washington world, but because of the consequence of who we are, and we're in New York, we do have New York electeds who will also be interviewed. It's a twofer for us. You'll be able to hear from some of our electeds. If we can get the governor on, that would be a real plus for us. He's known across the country now because of the pandemic and what he's been doing, so we're targeting those kinds of electeds who can share the New York story with the rest of the country.
So not just members of Congress.
Not necessarily. Last week's program was on COVID and we didn't have any electeds. They were all professionals and academics who got together to discuss how this affects the Latino community, healthwise and mental healthwise. What we're trying to do between now and the election is to bring up issues that are relevant to the Latino population across the country, and therefore sometimes we have to bring in other people than electeds to help expand on what the pandemic really is, and they're better prepared to speak about it. Our electeds are more partisan. Republicans are going to give you the Republican spin, and Democrats are going to give you the Democratic spin. But academics and people that are not politically oriented, the conversation is less political, and we're trying to do that to help our viewers understand what the issues of the day are rather than changing them one way or the other.

HITN LAUNCHES SPECIAL ELECTORAL COVERAGE
HITN will launch its Electoral coverage campaign coverage including step by step voting information and daily updates in a multiplatform effort to inform and educate Spanish-speaking families on the importance and power of the US Latino Vote
Brooklyn, NY – HITN TV announced its presidential coverage, an educational and informational campaign to encourage the Latino community to participate in the upcoming 2020 election. The campaign aims to help Latinos understand current events in the political arena and provide easy to understand, step by step information on the complex electoral system of the United States and provide important registration and voter education. The campaign starts this month with coverage of the Democratic and Republic conventions, including political analysis and interviews from political experts, and up to date election information across television, social and digital platforms.
The campaign will be hosted by acclaimed political commentator and host of HITN's 'Estudio DC' Gerson Borrero who will feature interviews and panels from the Democratic and Republican conventions with a special focus on the issues that matter the most to Latino voters.
Michael D. Nieves, President and CEO of HITN, said: "The upcoming 2020 election represents a tremendous opportunity for Latinos to show their strength at the ballot box, and Spanish-language media organizations have a responsibility to provide resources that support civic engagement amongst Latinos."
This year, Latinos are expected to make up the largest ethnic group, with a rising population of nearly 60 million in the United States. According the Pew Research Center, more than 32 Million Latinos will be eligible to vote in 2020. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, only about 48% of Hispanics eligible to vote did so in the 2016 presidential election.
HITN will make its educational capsules and digital content on the electoral process available to educational institutions and organizations in the U.S. that will further reinforce and raise awareness to the importance of the Latino vote in this presidential election. And as in past presidential elections, HITN will cover the electoral process and will run through Election Day in November.

HITN Achieves Unprecedented and Historical Ratings Growth During Second Quarter
The channel has experienced significant increase in viewership during coronavirus outbreak with its top-quality programming that informs, educates, and entertains Spanish-speaking families.
Brooklyn, NY – HITN TV has reported record growth in its ratings this 2nd Quarter, achieving the highest numbers to date as the coronavirus continues. According to Nielsen rankings, HITN TV has seen major increases
Since the crisis erupted in March, HITN's programming delivery has been on the rise week after week. Cornerstone programs such as, Al Descubierto and Centro Médico have broken viewership records in April. It is worth noting that as the weeks go by, the need to stay informed about the pandemic has been balanced with the audience's need for a breather. This reality is demonstrated in the audience peaks reached in April by nature programs such as Planeta Helado, Mundo Salvaje con Ron Magill, Animales Maravillosos, Tesoros de Asia, Historia de la Vida, Planeta Selva, and Felinos, all of which are part of the television block "Tu Planeta".

In mid-March, HITN launched its Covid-19 campaign to provide real time informative content about the coronavirus. This included the #YoMeQuedoEnCasa, stay at home campaign, daily primetime reports and informational capsules to help families navigate during the pandemic. In addition, the VidaySalud.com website continuously provided updated information on the COVID-19 pandemic, with the latest recommendations from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC). The site is supplemented by email newsletters sent to millions of subscribers, and by daily posts on social media along with Facebook Lives hosted by medical experts. VidaySalud.com also offers people free live chats with medical experts, who offer general information to help answer medical doubts and questions related to the crisis situation they are experiencing.
"As expected, the viewership levels we have seen during this period of social distancing reflect how important television is as a primary source for information and entertainment. At HITN we are incredibly proud to provide Hispanic homes an extraordinary offering of factual entertainment that keeps the entire family company during this time of crisis", said Erika Vogt-Lowell, Director of Programming and Acquisitions for HITN. "Our programming and production teams have been working very hard throughout this crisis to bring reliable and useful information, as well as much needed entertainment to thousands of viewers across the nation."

HITN Repeats the "Voces del Futuro" Special, on How to Help Parents Talk with Their Children about Racism
By Kosta Costopoulos TV & DIGITAL
HITN has decided to repeat this important program, in light of the current charged environment in the US, in which various experts talk about the power of education, unity, and racial tolerance, to support Spanish-speaking families.
Brooklyn, New York – HITN, through its HITN TV network, and with the support of its educational division HITN Learning, will repeat the special Voces del Futuro, an original program that provides resources, information, and valuable guidance on how to talk to younger generations about discrimination and racism. The special will air on HITN-TV on June 20 at 1:00 p.m. Eastern / 10:00 a.m. Pacific.
'Voces del Futuro' is a special program, which addresses the issue of racism from the perspective of education and shows how parents can be active agents of change by setting an example and teaching their children. Hosted by Well- known TV presenter Alfonso (Poncho) de Anda, under the executive production of Laura Masnatta, the program brings together a group of guest experts in education and family relations, who speak frankly and directly about racial diversity, identity, and tolerance, and about bilingualism.
Lina Acosta Sandaal, psychotherapist and founder of Stop Parenting Alone, is the main panelist. During the program, she repeatedly emphasizes the importance of education in the home: "The change in our society starts in our homes. The only way to change the future is by modeling a different future at home today," she says. And she adds, "It's important that from a very early age we talk with our children about the problems and dangers of racism. We have to talk about differences. Just having the option of not talking about these things is an example of the privilege that some people have."
Another guest on the program is Maria Alvarez, Vice President of Common Sense Latino, who discusses resources that parents can use, such as books and movies. As she notes, "It's not just about having a diversity of authors. It's also about diversity of stories and diversity of viewpoints, which enrich our children by helping them be more tolerant and more respectful." She even mentions the use of videogames, which she does not consider herself a fan of, because in her opinion, they are full of stereotypes. Nonetheless, she recognizes that it's hard to keep children from playing them. Regarding videogames, she advises parents, "Let's play with our kids and talk with them about what they're seeing, to use these stereotypes as a platform to have these conversations, difficult as they may be. We need to talk with our kids about them."
'Voces del Futuro' also discusses one of the most important issues for the Hispanic community in the United States, which is bilingualism. In this regard, panelist Dina Castro, a professor at the University of North Texas, says that bilingualism gives us the power to "connect with culture, to develop positive self-esteem, and to stay emotionally and psychologically healthy." During the program, Castro recognizes the many challenges faced by bilingualism in U.S. society today. As she notes, "One form of racism is precisely the lack of access and support for bilingualism in our community. If they take it away from us, we are not complete. We are not allowed to develop. This is a form of oppression and a form of racism."
To explain in depth why racism persists in this way in the United States, 'Voces del Futuro' also presents the expert opinion of Professor Mario Murillo, Vice-Dean of the School of Communication at Hofstra University in New York, who talks about the historical roots of the problem: "Until 1865 this country was built on slavery. And afterward, it lasted for almost another 100 years when slavery was not in force but existed in other forms." He adds, "It's important to take action, because if we don't work actively on the issue of racism, and fight against it, there's never going to be significant change."
'Voces del Futuro' retransmission will be air on HITN TV on June 20 at 1:00 p.m. Eastern / 10:00 a.m. Pacific.

Brooklyn, NY – HITN, through its Television Network HITN TV, and with the support of its educational division, HITN Learning announced the special 'Voces del Futuro,' an original program that will provide resources, information and valuable guidance on how to speak to the youngest generations about discrimination and the social impact of current events.

Alfonso (Poncho) de Anda, a well-known TV personality, will be the moderator of the one-hour program, which will be broadcast on HITN-TV this Monday, June 8 at 9:00PM Eastern/Pacific.
In the past week, the voices of thousands of young people have been heard throughout the United States calling for systemic change and equality. In keeping with its mission to inform and educate the Hispanic community, HITN shares this special content through 'Voces del Futuro' to offer resources that may help Spanish-speaking parents initiate a conversation with their children to discuss topics related to diversity, racism, and tolerance, while also fostering a culture of mutual respect at home and for future generations.
Leading the group of experts in this discussion will be Lina Acosta Sandaal, a psychotherapist and development expert as well as founder of Stop Parenting Alone, a parenting education and consultation program in Miami, FL. Lina is a human development expert for Telemundo's national broadcasts and consultant for MomsRising, an advocacy group for family rights in our nation's capital. Her mission is for all parents to fall in love with their parenting journey She notes, "As parents, we must remember that the topics of justice and social difference are always present in our home; in fact, racism is among the top three topics that parents find uncomfortable to tackle. We have the responsibility to guide and educate our children about these topics. By being specific about our beliefs and principles, we can guide them and mold the personality of those who will create change in our society."
The program will feature Maria Alvarez, Vice President of Common-Sense Latino. Common-Sense Latino is the nation's leading nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the lives of kids and families by providing trustworthy information, education, and the independent voice they need to thrive in the 21st century. "Media plays an important role in the parenting experience," states Alvarez. "We have to be more thoughtful about the content we pick for our kids when little, and leverage the messages in movies, streaming shows, and books when they are older. Media offers great opportunities to reinforce our values, combat racism and have meaningful conversations around these topics with our kids."
The discussion will also feature Dina Castro, a Professor and Velma E. Schmidt Endowed Chair of Early Childhood Education, University of North Texas. Dr. Castro is a researcher and teacher educator, and serves in the Governing Board of the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC). Her research focuses on equity and quality in the early care and education of bilingual children from immigrant and indigenous communities. She has designed and evaluated professional development for teachers of bilingual children, investigated childcare decisions among immigrant families, and developed measures of quality and second language acquisition for classrooms serving bilingual children.
Dina adds, "The rejection to our language and culture, is a form of racism to the Hispanic community which translate into less bilingual programs and opportunities. If we develop a strong sense of identity and self-confidence, we are better prepared to show empathy and respect for people of all races and those victims of racism."
Joining Lina, Maria, Poncho and Dina in this important conversation is Professor Mario A. Murillo, Dean of Communications and Director of the Diversity and Inclusion Committee at Hofstra University in New York, who will discuss issues of biculturalism and identity that college students face.
'Voces Del Futuro' is a conversation that opens the doors to future generations with positive messages of hope, respect and a mutual understanding to respect all communities countering all forms of intolerance and social injustice.

We need to consciously think about what makes a good relationship, not expect them to magically happen.
"If our intimate relationships have such an effect on our wellbeing, why do we let them drop to the bottom of our priority lists and just hope for the best?" asks Lisa Stevenson.
Our lives are generally planned. We plan meals, appointments for the doctor, dentist, hair salon. We plan holidays, weekend activities. We plan weddings and engagements and christenings. We plan work, time with friends, finances, chores.
Yet most people I meet at my practice in Cheadle, Cheshire have never planned their relationship. When couples arrive in therapy they can detail how they met and what's gone awry, but when I ask about their relationship vision most draw a blank.
Sure, each entered the relationship with hopes and dreams some of which were voiced in the romantic phase of the relationship. But mostly the needs and wants of two individuals remain unconscious.
At our Getting The Love You Want couples weekends, we talk about each stage of the relationship and support couples to move toward a more consciously connected relationship with safety and joy at it's core.

You may not realize this, but there are changes in your industry and even in your organization. The role of software in companies of any scale has changed forever and will change even faster. This movement is driven by their clients and the way they obtain services. At the beginning, the only companies that used software products were software companies.
Then, the software penetrated the companies, often wanting to make internal improvements that would make their business more efficient. These companies looked inward, not outward; They used software to help do business.
Nowadays, since the behavior of customers has changed so much, software has become a business even for non-digital companies. The ability of each company to earn money is at the intersection of the needs and desires of customers and their own products and services. The customers' wishes have changed and will change at a faster and faster rate, and this is the paradox of the software. The software has evolved from the fact that it is not part of your business and has become a way to manage your business … and now it will become your business more and more.
That is why every company must have software products. Each company must think like a software company, plan like a software development outsourcing and act like a software company, because each company will have to put the software in the hands of its customers.
Software is an absolutely destructive force that affects all companies in all industries in all markets. What happens in an industry now affects other industries, just as the automotive assembly line revolutionized the way all products were assembled and just as the telephone revolutionized communication for companies of all kinds. This makes the software not only an excellent equalizer, but also an excellent opportunity. As products and services mature, they become understandable and achievable. The software provides ease of use, connectivity and features that allow companies to continue delivering what their customers value.
Many organizations simply do not know their clients well and do not know the right questions. A consulting firm can have smart consultants who have incredible intellectual property, but may have difficulty creating software that makes sense to customers … just as a typical IT department has limited experience that combines customer needs with companies -objectives to create an elegant software product. It fulfills both objectives.
Entrepreneurs see software as an opportunity, so they create companies that destroy markets with software. Despite this, mature companies are often in a better position, since they have the resources, the personnel and the existing clients, but also seldom take advantage of this opportunity due to the need to maintain the current income streams. This allows the release to jump over the current president, until he wakes up and changes.

This section deals with the expected trend in the supply of Dutch natural gas (domestic production) in the next 25 years (2016 to 2040). Production Oil reserves however are limited, despite the 48 discovered fields. As at 1 January 2016 there are 477 proven natural gas accumulations in the Netherlands. In the Dutch subsurface more than 470 gas fields are discovered, about 250 fields are developed. Estimates are largely based on data submitted by operators. As of this annual report these are included in the regular reserves. The production is expected to be at most a few percent of the current conventional natural gas production. For, API: fuel, electricity and natural gas price data feed, Gasoline prices in cities around the world.

Der Gateway Motorway ist eine Stadtautobahn in Brisbane im Südosten des australischen Bundesstaates Queensland. Die Sir Leo Hielscher Bridges (früher: Gateway Bridge) werden von Queensland Motorways betrieben.

Die Autobahn führt im Osten um Brisbane herum und schafft so eine schnelle Verbindung von der Gold Coast zur Sunshine Coast. Sie beginnt am Logan Motorway (M2) in Drewvale im Süden der Stadt und endet am Autobahndreieck in Bald Hills im Norden der Stadt, wo sie in den Pacific Highway (NA1) und die Gympie Arterial Road einmündet.  Am Autobahnkreuz in Eight Mile Plains, ihrem früheren Ende (bis 1997), trifft sie mit dem Pacific Motorway (M1) und dem South East Freeway (M3) zusammen und ändert ihre Bezeichnung von M2 zu M1. Die Sir Leo Hielscher Bridges über den Brisbane River bei Eagle Farm gehören zu dieser Autobahn. Die Straße vermittelt die Zufahrt zum Hafen und zum Flughafen von Brisbane.

Ausbau
Früher hieß der Gateway Motorway Gateway Arterial Road, da sie nicht als Autobahn eingestuft war und drei große Kreisverkehre nördlich des Brisbane River besaß. 1987 stufte die Regierung von Queensland die Straße zur Autobahn herauf, damit man mit dem vielen Verkehr zurechtkam. 1990 wurden die Brücken über die East-West Arterial Road und den neu gebauten Airport Drive in Hendra erstellt. Seit 1991 ist die Autobahn zwischen Eight Mile Plains und Bracken Ridge vierspurig ausgebaut. Anfang 1996 wurde eine weitere Ausbaustufe mit der Einrichtung von vier Fahrspuren zwischen Bracken Ridge und Bald Hills erreicht.

1995 begann man mit dem Bau der südlichen Anbindung an den Logan Motorway, sodass der Southern Brisbane Bypass entstand. Die Straße wurde am 13. Mai 1997 eröffnet.

Am 17. Februar 2005 kündigte der Minister für Transport und Hauptstraßen ein AU-$ 1,6 Mrd. teures Projekt zum Ausbau des Gateway Motorway an, das eine neue Gateway Bridge neben der alten, eine Straßenverlegung zwischen Eagle Farm und Nudgee und Verbesserungen südlich des Flusses vorsah. Die Arbeiten begannen Anfang 2007.

Die neue Gateway Bridge (beide Rücken wurden in 'Sir Leo Hielscher Bridges' umbenannt) wurde in vierspuriger Ausführung am 24. Mai 2010 eröffnet. Die beiden verbleibenden Spuren wurden am 15. August 2010 in Betrieb genommen. Die Anpassung der alten Brücke an die neue wurde am 28. November 2010 abgeschlossen. Nördlich der Brücken verläuft die Autobahn nun weiter östlich und ein weiterer Zubringer, der Moreton Drive wurde als Zufahrt zum Inlandsterminal des Flughafens geschaffen. Die neue Route wurde am 19. Juli 2009 eröffnet, der Moreton Drive am 3. Dezember 2009.

Die Straße auf der alten Trasse des Gateway Motorway wurde im November 2010 in Southern Cross Way umbenannt und die Gebührenhäuschen wurden durch elektronische Gebührenaufnehmer ersetzt.

Südlich der Brücken wurde die Autobahn bis zur Ausfahrt Wynnum Road auf 9 Spuren erweitert und bis zur Ausfahrt Old Cleveland Road auf 8 Spuren. Von dort ist sie bis zur Einmündung in Pacific Motorway sechsspurig. Der Ausbau zwischen Lyton Road und Mount Gravatt Capalaba Road wurde am 28. Januar 2010 fertiggestellt, der zwischen Mount Gravatt Capalaba Road und dem Pacific Motorway am 30. Juli 2011.

In der ersten Ausbaustufe besaß die Autobahn keine Nummer. Seit März 1994 hieß sie Metroroad 1 und seit 2005 ist sie als M1, bzw. M2, bezeichnet.

Anschlüsse

Bemerkungen
Entfernungen sind gerundet. Gemessen bis zum Ende der Sir Leo Hielscher Bridges.

Q: How to get the values from dynamically created HTML controls in .vb code behind I am dynamically creating HTML controls on Page load.
My code looks like following:
Dim sb as New StringBuilder
Dim i as Integer = 0
sb.Append("
)
For Each item as myClass IN myList
    i += 1
    sb.Append("
")
    sb.Append("
"+tem.myValue+"

")
    sb.Append("<textarea id = txt"&i&" name =txt></textarea>	")
    sb.Append("<select id = validate"&i&"><option value =''>Choose one</option><option value ='Yes'>Yes</option><option value ='No'>No</option></select>	)
      ----------
      ---------
     sb.Append("
")
     myDiv.InnerHtml = sb.Tostring

Explaination of above code:
I am creating multiple <textarea> textbox and <select> dropdown in the for each loop and assigning the complete string to my div(myDiv.InnerHtml = sb.Tostring).
So it will create multiple textboxes and dropdown with id dynamically genereated using i
<div id=mydiv"& i&......

Now I want to access the values in the above textboxes and dropdowns in another button click event.
I am creating dynamic controls in PageLoad event
Is this doable? Any help?
Thanks in advance.

A: You can always access these by looking at Request.Form("txt" & i) or Request.QueryString if you send it as get.
But this isn't very asp.netY. If you create TextBox controls, you could access the .Text property to get the value.

A video for "I Need You Now" released in summer 2012 features his five-piece band the Falling Doves, which he calls "A collection of old friends and professional touring musicians. The band was made to accompany me and my diverse songwriting catalog," says Leyva of the ensemble.
"I met Italian transplant Stefano Belforte the Saturday night he arrived in Los Angeles, he had literally been here three hours...we had a full band by Monday, and he moved here from Italy. The name the Falling Doves came from an article I read about birds falling all over Italy and Rome, and I just felt, What's next?, you know? End of the world?"
Leyva also performs and records solo material, and his band Leyva & the Dead 67's specializes in a mixture of early garage rock and punk.
In early 2016, after touring England, Falling Doves signed with Britain's RMN Records. Their sophomore album Doves of War featured a lineup with Leyva, Mike Dorsey, Clint Feddersen, and Kyle Mueller, and collaborations with members of the Rembrandts, Greg Douglas (Steve Miller Band), and Jason Hill (Louis XIV, Jett, the Killers). It was produced by Rick Parker of (BRMC, Scott Weiland, Lord Huron, Dandy Warhols), and Skyler Lutes in San Diego, with additional production by Jason Hill (Louis XIV, Jett, the Killers).
Falling Doves embarked on a UK and German tour retracing the Beatles steps that eventually led to a gig backing original Beatles drummer Pete Best at Queen Bee's in San Diego in March 2018. The following month, a video was released for their track "Love on the Runway," with performance footage filmed at the Lafayette Hotel's famed clamshell.
Paring down to a duo featuring Christopher Leyva and Mike Dorsey, their Live in Tokyo album (released August 2018) was recorded during their late 2017 tour of Japan, and mixed and mastered at EastWest Studios in L.A.
"We're going on tour to Australia for the third time," frontman Christopher Leyva told the Reader. "We're doing a few benefits we created along our tour to benefit the https://www.wires.org.au, they help the animals burned by the wildfires. The main benefit in Australia will be in Brisbane at the Crowbar Feb 21 where along with a couple locals we will be selling our shirts and collecting cash...we teamed up with a great poster artist, Diego De Grandi from Brazil, to create a tour shirt and benefit poster, he's done art for Oasis, Tom Petty, and the Rolling Stones. We'll sell the shirt on tour, and all funds will go to the Wires charity."
A new EP called Isolation was released in summer 2020, featuring covers of tracks like "Hallelujah" (Leonard Cohen), "Wonderwall" (Oasis), and "Ships Out to Sea" (The Be Good Tanyas). In Autumn 2020, the band signed a deal with Sony BMG Latin for their Electric Dove album.
In summer 2021, they announced their next album, Skylark 69, and a live concert video. In addition, "The Falling Doves have been collaborating with Little Miss Nasty, a Hollywood based rock and troll burlesque troupe, on some video content for the Doves upcoming tour," said frontman Christopher Leyva.

One Direction unveiled the video for their brand new single Perfect today.
The black-and-white video was directed by Sophie Muller and filmed in New York at the Intercontinental Hotel in Times Square. The group filmed scenes in the hotel's rooms and on its roof, and they are shown in the video separately as they sing their respective parts.
Perfect has been riding high on iTunes charts across the world since its release last week. It's the follow-up to the group's number one smash Drag Me Down and is the second single taken from their upcoming album Made in the A.M.
One Direction are currently finishing off their latest tour and they will go on a break next year. It's not known at this time how long the break will last or if the group will get back together in the future.

Office of the Press Secretary
President Bush Discusses Volunteerism
Presidential Remarks
Fact Sheet: USA Freedom Corps: Strengthening Service to Meet Community Needs
THE PRESIDENT:	Thank you, all. Please be seated. Welcome to the South Ground of the White House. It is a joy to be here with members of the armies of compassion. I'm really glad you're here and I appreciate your inspiration to our fellow citizens. I believe you are a constant reminder of the true source of our nation's strength, which is the good hearts and souls of the American people.
We have seen the good hearts of our people over the last week as caring volunteers have helped their fellow citizens through Hurricane Gustav and Tropical Storm Hanna. The Red Cross, which provides a vital role in helping the relief efforts and recovery efforts, has been spending millions of dollars to provide shelter and food for evacuees and to help with the clean-up efforts. Yet charitable contributions have not kept pace with their expenses, and I hope our fellow citizens will support the Red Cross, particularly as Hurricane Ike and other storms develop over the Gulf Coast. You can help by going to the Red Cross's website -- redcross.org -- and make a vital contribution to help our fellow citizens.
I appreciate the fact that those here represent the hundreds of thousands of our citizens who answered the call to love a neighbor like we'd like to be loved ourselves. I appreciate the fact that you and others lift up souls, one person at a time. You strengthen the foundation of our democracy, which is the engagement of our people. I want to thank you for what you do. God bless you and welcome. (Applause.)
I thank Secretary Dirk Kempthorne, Department of the Interior, and Patricia, who have joined us; Secretary of Commerce, Carlos Gutierrez; Secretary of Transportation, Mary Peters; Congresswoman Carolyn McCarthy, welcome Madame Congresswoman, thanks for coming. I appreciate Stephen Goldsmith, the Chairman of the Corporation for National and Community Service; Jack Hawkins, Director of Volunteers for Prosperity; Ron Tschetter, who is the Director of the Peace Corps -- (applause) -- I knew that was coming. (Laughter.) Jean Case, the Chairman of the President's Council on Service and Civic Participation and members of that council.
I appreciate my buddy, Michael W. Smith, who is going to play a couple of songs for us here. (Applause.) And his wife, Debbie.	I want to thank student and school administrators and board members from the LEAGUE that are here today. These are students from schools all across the country. (Applause.) We are glad you are here.
With us is the 2007 Spirit of Hope Award Recipient. This is the military's way of honoring people who have given back to their communities. Giovanni Balingit -- Giovanni, welcome; thank you, sir; congratulations to you. (Applause.) I want to thank all those who are here in the United States military. Thank you for wearing the uniform of the United States. (Applause.)
But most of all, thanks for coming. I really appreciate you taking time out to come by and let me say hello to you.
In my first inaugural address, I challenged all Americans to be "citizens, not spectators ... responsible citizens, building communities of service and a nation of character."
Eight months later Americans were tested by the worst attack on our nation. In the midst of chaos and sorrow, Americans responded with the -- with characteristic courage and grace. It was a remarkable moment in our country. It really was, when you think about it. Rescue workers wrote their Social Security numbers on their arms and then rushed into buildings. Citizens became members of ambulance teams. And people from all across the country poured into New York City to help.
The terrorists who attacked our country on September the 11th didn't understand our country at all.	Evil may crush concrete and twist steel, but it can never break the spirit of the American people. (Applause.)
In the weeks and months after the attacks, inspiring acts continued to unfold all across the country.	I'm sure you heard the stories, just like I did. Men and women of our armed forces accepted dangerous new duties, and a lot of folks stepped forward to volunteer to protect our fellow citizens. But the desire to serve reached far beyond the military. Millions of Americans were -- really wanted to help our country recover.
And so to tap into that spirit, I called on every American to spend at least 4,000 hours -- or two years in the course of a lifetime -- to serve our nation through acts of compassion.	Some said that's acting -- asking a lot for the country, and they were right -- and they were right. Two years during a lifetime is a lot to give. But the truth of the matter is, citizens who do give realize that they become enriched just like those folks that they're helping.
To empower Americans looking to help, we launched what's called the USA Freedom Corps.	The goal of the USA Freedom Corps was to connect Americans with opportunities to serve our country, to foster a culture of citizenship and responsibility and service. Over the last six years, USA Freedom Corps has met these goals.
One way we helped was to launch a web site called volunteer.gov, which is the largest clearinghouse of volunteer opportunities in America. In other words, we used high-tech innovations to be able to channel people's desire to serve in a constructive way.
And so this government website directs people to private charities, or local churches, or Habitat for Humanity drives, or Meals on Wheels -- just opportunities to serve their neighbor.	We can't put love in somebody's heart, but we certainly can help somebody channel their love. And that was the purpose of the website.
And you can search my hometown. They tell me that if you get on Crawford, Texas, you'll find that the local Humane Society seeks volunteer pet groomers -- which makes Barney really nervous.	(Laughter.)
This is just one of 4 million volunteer opportunities on the USA Freedom Corps web site. Isn't that interesting? There are 4 million opportunities for somebody who wants to serve to say, here's how I can help.	And so I urge our fellow citizens to go to the website and find out if there's not something that'll interest you, something that'll give you a chance to serve something greater than yourself.
USA Freedom Corps fosters a culture of service by encouraging the private sector to step forward. We got what we call the pro bono challenge, which encourages corporate professionals to donate their services to charities and nonprofits. That makes a lot of sense, doesn't it, to encourage corporate America to not only serve their shareholders, but serve the communities in which they exist.
One really interesting, innovative idea came out of IBM this year. IBM employees will donate millions of dollars of service to charities in the U.S., as well as technology projects in developing nations. They tell me that this work would cost $250 million if IBM's devoted employees were charging, and not providing for free. I want to thank the CEO of IBM, Sam Palmisano, who is with us today. Sam, thank you very much for coming. (Applause.) And I encourage corporate America to figure out ways that they can serve to make America a better place.
Another key component of USA Freedom Corps is our effort to keep track of Americans' service to others. I mean, it's one thing to talk about it, it's another thing to measure, to kind of see how we're doing.	In 2002, this administration became the first to conduct a regular survey of volunteerism through the U.S. Census Bureau. Because we've begun to measure, we know that nearly 61 million Americans now give their time to help their neighbors. Isn't that interesting?	Sixty-one million of our fellow citizens volunteer. (Applause.)
We've also launched new national programs and enhanced others to help our citizens answer the call to service. For example, we helped Americans answer the call by creating the Citizen Corps.	(Applause.) Sounds like quite a few members have shown up. (Laughter.) And we are glad you're here.
For those of you who don't know what the Citizen Corps is, it's a way for people to volunteer to help respond to disasters. This was set up right after September the 11th. Americans have formed community emergency response teams -- (applause) -- there you go -- fire corps, medical reserve corps, neighborhood watch groups. Today there are nearly 1 million Citizen Corps volunteers nationwide. (Applause.)
And one of those volunteers is County Judge Ed Emmett from Harris County, Texas.	(Applause.) So let me tell you about what the Citizen Corps of Harris County did. So Katrina hits, there's about 200,000 Gulf Coast residents headed into the Houston area. The Citizen Corps showed up. Volunteers came to process evacuees, to help treat the ill and injured, and to help settle storm victims in permanent housing.
Here's what Ed said -- I've known him for a long time, by the way -- the Judge said, "That's just what members of the Citizen Corps do -- they take care of their neighbors." And Judge, I want to thank you, and all of the members of the Citizen Corps nationwide for taking care of your neighbors. (Applause.)
We've helped Americans answer the call by creating a program called Volunteers for Prosperity. This initiative matched skilled American professionals with service opportunities -- a lot of them in the developing world.	This year we mobilized more than 43,000 doctors, teachers, engineers and other skilled volunteers. That's a pretty good start for an important program, it seems like to me. These men and women save babies from malaria on the continent of Africa. They bring modern information technology to Afghanistan. They live out one of America's strongest beliefs -- that to whom much is given, much is required.
One of those people who is a member of this important team is Zach Harvey. He serves on the prosthetics staff at Walter Reed Army Medical Center. When he isn't -- (applause) -- let me finish with old Zach. (Laughter.) When he isn't busy helping our wounded warriors, he's putting his skills to use in Guatemala and the Dominican Republic as a Volunteer for Prosperity. He works with pediatric cancer patients who've had a limb amputated as part of their treatment. He and his team of volunteers fit the children with new limbs and they pass on their skills to other care-givers.
He says the only payment he receives is the pride that comes with children -- seeing children walk again.	And Zach, we are proud to have you here and thank you for your service. (Applause.) Zach doesn't want anybody to look at him -- (laughter) -- but you can't help it when you're that kind of kind man. Appreciate it.
By the way, both the Citizen Corps and Volunteers for Prosperity have been very effective programs. And I really believe Congress needs to make these good programs permanent. (Applause.)
We've also helped answer the call to service by strengthening AmeriCorps. (Applause.) This is a program that matches dedicated volunteers with hundreds of private charitable institutions. AmeriCorps members sign up for one-year commitments with the idea of strengthening their communities by teaching adults how to read or improving health care or helping the homeless put a roof over their heads. This is a good program that was started by my predecessor, President Clinton.
After 9/11, we tried to make this program more effective -- in other words, to help the dollars allocated go further. Today, more than 74,000 people serve their fellow citizens through AmeriCorps. (Applause.) I have met AmeriCorps volunteers all over our country and they're very inspiring Americans.
One such volunteer is Emily Greene. After college, she enlisted in the program to serve with the Schools of Hope Literacy Project in Madison, Wisconsin. Through the Schools of Hope, Emily has recruited hundreds of volunteers to teach children how to read. What kind of -- what a wonderful gift. When somebody says, "How can I help serve America," how about teaching a child to read as a lasting contribution to the future of our country? (Applause.)
Madison's public elementary schools are improving, the achievement gap is narrowing. And Emily, it must make you feel great to leave a lasting contribution, and we are glad you're here on behalf of AmeriCorps. Thanks for coming. (Applause.)
We've also helped others serve by expanding the Peace Corps. (Applause.) So, see, you don't know what I know -- that every time I go to an embassy overseas and I mention anything about the Peace Corps, and there happens to be a Peace Corps contingent -- they give that same kind of yell. (Laughter.) Peace Corps volunteers are incredibly motivated people and it's a fabulous program.
The number of Peace Corps volunteers has increased. We've reopened 13 -- reopened programs in 13 countries. This is a vital program. There are about 8,000 Peace Corps members that are fighting AIDS in Africa, training poor workers to start their own businesses in Latin America, they're teaching English to children in Asia. What they're doing is they're showing the rest of the world the compassionate heart of the American citizen. I mean, we are a compassionate nation and the Peace Corps does a fabulous job of advancing that compassion.
Praya Baruch is with us today.	After college Praya spent two years in Ghana working with people who are HIV-positive, training religious leaders to provide community-based care, and educating young people about HIV preparation. She is now on the staff of the Peace Corps. She represents the 8,000 people who are on the front lines of helping people deal with some of the most difficult problems in the world. Praya, we are honored you're here and I want to thank the Peace Corps. (Applause.)
There are other ways to help Americans answer the call to service. We have got what we call the Faith Based and Community Initiative -- (applause) -- through which we've empowered Americans to volunteer through their churches and congregations.
You know, I believe that if a program is successful, government ought to support it. And I believe if it takes faith to help solve some of the most intractable problems, government ought not to fear the influence of faith in our society, we ought to welcome the influence of faith in our society. (Applause.)
Laura -- who is not here, but sends her best wishes -- has rallied thousands of volunteers to help at-risk children through Helping America's Youth Initiative. We've encouraged volunteerism by holding up examples of our volunteers. You know, to date, 1.1 million Americans have received the President's Volunteer Service Award. That may not seem like a big deal to some people, but when you get one and you show it to people you're working with, they say, how do I get one of those? (Laughter.) What do I need to do? Well, what you need to do is serve your community by volunteering and help make somebody's life better. (Applause.)
Volunteerism is strong in the country.	But the truth of the matter is, the farther we've gotten away from 9/11, that memory has begun to fade. And some are saying, well, maybe I don't need to volunteer now. Maybe the crisis has passed. The aftermath of 9/11 isn't nearly as intense as it was. And my call to people is, there's always a need.	You should be volunteering not because of 9/11, but you should be volunteering because our country needs you on a regular basis.
We can use your help. There are citizens who say, I need love. Government can pass law, but it cannot put love into somebody's heart. Oftentimes that helps when somebody puts their arm around you and say, how can I help you, brother, or sister? What can I do to make your life better?
And so today I call upon our fellow citizens to devote 4,000 hours over your lifetime in service to your country. You'll become a better person for it, and our society will be more healthy as a result of it. You know, there's an old adage that says, you can bring hope to the lives of others, but the life you enrich the most will probably be your own. (Applause.)
I've witnessed the amazing phenomenon of volunteerism throughout my travels in this country. At nearly every stop, I make it a point to meet a local volunteer selected by the USA Freedom Corps at the steps of Air Force One. After they get over the initial shock of seeing me come off the plane -- (laughter) -- I love to ask them what they're doing, what are you doing to make your community a better place?
One such volunteer is a young woman I met in Pittsburgh named Kristen Holloway. She started a program called Operation Troop Appreciation. It started off as kind of a small program, just an idea, a desire to make a statement. Her group collects everything from DVDs and phone calls -- cards to musical instruments and sports gear. So far, they have sent care packages to more than 40,000 men and women serving in the front lines in this war against the extremists. (Applause.)
Kristen, we're glad you're here. Thank you for -- by the way, you're representing a lot of people here in this audience and around the country who have had -- I have the honor of meeting as volunteers at the foot of Air Force One.
I want to thank you all for showing up when I show up.	Generally, the weather is nice. Sometimes it's not so nice. But nevertheless you're there with your smiling face. And you inspire me. You really do lift up my spirits to meet people who are so dedicated that they are willing to take time out of their lives to help somebody in need.	And I hope by getting you on the front page of your newspapers, that you inspire others to show up and serve America by volunteering.
But I want to tell you what a soldier wrote to Kristen's group. A soldier wrote back after getting one of the packages and said, "My heart soars with pride to represent a country filled with such wonderful people as [you]." That was the thank you note that Kristen's group got.
Well, my heart soars with pride as well to be in the presence of those who are lifting up souls and helping mend hearts. I want to thank you for what you're doing. I am incredibly optimistic about the future of our country. And the reason I am is because I've seen firsthand the love and the compassion and the decency of our fellow citizens.
May God bless you. May God bless the armies of compassion.
And now please welcome my buddy, Michael W. Smith. (Applause.)
