For whatever reason, 2016 was a reading binge year for me that spilled over to 2017. Of the too many books I read, these are the ones that easily come to mind when I think back to the books I enjoyed, or made me think, or made me cry.
These are the books that linger in my brain and my heart, long after I finished reading them. Re-reading these are in my near future.
Reclaiming Conversations, by Sherry Turtle – my "Recommended Read" of 2016, this book was a catalyst to reflect on my own relationship with the mobile device in my hand, and not just as a resource for planning the introduction of mobile ownership to the kids. (nonfiction)
Name of the Wind, by Patrick Rothfuss (first book in the "Kingkiller Chronicle" trilogy). Tai's "recommended read" of 2016, and I'm kind of jealous that he claimed it first. It's a fantasy book with such a unique system of magic, and it has amazing pacing. Such an amazing protagonist overcoming jaw-dropping challenges, but so many well-rounded supporting characters too. I wholeheartedly enjoyed it better than Game of Thrones, and I really liked GoT when I first read it too!
When Breath Becomes Air, by Paul Kalanithi – an absolutely beautiful memoir written by a bright neurosurgeon who discovers he has late-stage lung cancer. Before going into medicine, Kalanithi completed an English degree, thinking he would be able to explore "the meaning of life, and death" thru literature. The journey he goes through and the deep introspection he has on why he became a doctor, and what makes a good doctor, are written about exquisitely. This was one of those books where many times i had to put it down just to reflect on the brilliant sentence or paragraph that i just read.
Fiction Faves
Carry On, by Rainbow Rowell – if you love Harry Potter and teen drama, this was a highly entertaining read with an amazing story twist half-way through. It borrows heavily from the tropes in Harry Potter, but makes it a completely different wizarding world, and you're dropped into the adventure immediately (the story opens up at the start of their last year in wizarding school).
Actually, anything by Rainbow Rowell has been wonderful. Eleanor and Park was a beautiful YA romance. I wrote earlier about my reaction to reading it.
For a completely different tone, her Landline is an adult novel that explores the heart-rendering dilemma of a woman torn between her career (which she loves and is driven by) and her husband and kids (who she loves, but feels inept to be present for–he is a stellar stay at home dad). Her personal life is a kind of a mess. An incident around the holidays leads to a fight and he travels to his parents' for christmas with the kids as initially planned, while she decides to stay home for work. There's additional tension of wondering whether she and her writing partner (a hot guy she's been writing with since college) would end up together. Throw in a mystical landline phone that seems to be the only way she can get a hold of her husband, but it seems like she's talking to him from 15 year ago. I just found it captures so many of the more subtle challenges an adult faces, compared to a YA.
Jane Steel, by Lyndsey Faye – it's Jane Eyre meets Dexter meets Nancy Drew. Jane is an amazing female protagonist. Her resiliency, pluck and smarts make you cheer for her in this Victorian England historical-mystery-thriller-romance. It was a slow first chapter for me, but then picked right up. Along the way I learned a bunch about British Colonialism in Sikh region of now India.
The Voodoo Killings: A Kincaid Strange Novel, by Kristi Charish. A super fun mystery thriller, in a world where the raising of zombies has just been made illegal in the USA. The protagonist thus loses her job consulting for the Seattle police force (since even the temporary raising of zombies to ask murder victims about how they died is illegal).
Cutting for Stone, by Abraham Verghese. This is a sweeping novel of a family drama taking place in two worlds I knew little about: the country of Ethiopia and the practice of medicine where doctors and nurses do not have the resources we take for granted in North America.
The Martian: A Novel, by Andy Weir – this totally appealed to the science geek in me. It was thrilling, smart (the author tried to be as scientifically accurate as possible), and funny, showing such a positive example of human ingenuity and good humour conquering over the dire circumstances of being stranded on Mars.
For a completely teeny bopper YA romance though that is thoroughly enjoyable brain candy, I also recommend Jenny Han's To All the Boys I've Loved Before. She's a mixed Korean & white junior in high school in Omaha (or some such place in the US midwest), who would write letters professing her love to the boys she had crushes on, to try and get over them. She'd then save the letters and not actually send them. Until one day she makes her little sister mad, and then the sister sends them off in the mail! Hijinks ensue. As an Asian girl growing up in the Canadian Prairies, it's nice to identify with this character in a way I couldn't when I was a teen, due to lack of representation in the books available then.
Fiction Honorable Mentions
Wonder, by RJ Palacio – a kids book that centers around an extraordinary boy Auggie who also has a severe facial deformity. It should actually be read by all adults as a reminder of the importance to always be kind.
The Help, by Kathryn Stockett – started my journey to better understand and empathize with the African-American experience in the South in the age of the Jim Crow segregation laws. Telling the stories in a really accessible manner, it is at times funny, tense, bitter and heartwarming.
Room, by Emma Donoghue. The synopsis given by the publisher is better than my many attempts at trying to describe this. It was discovering the world anew from the eyes of this 5-year-old child who knows nothing beyond the single room. I found the second half lagging a little as it switched gears, but still interesting in a more clinical way.
Me Before You, by Jojo Moyes – a funny and weepy romantic novel. Lovely easy read. No bodice ripping though…it was made into a movie last year.
Non-fiction Favs
Reinventing Organizations, by Frederik Laloux – an organizational theory book that revolutionized my company, as it gave us the language and terminology to describe our organizational structure and culture. It accurately calls out many of the underlying causes to why i had to leave Accenture (more than just the commute and the work). The abbreviated illustrated version now available makes the content much more accessible.
How to Be A Woman, by Caitlin Moran – a super hilarious collection of biographical anecdotes from this UK journalist that collectively combines to be a siren call for "strident feminism". I will be making my daughters read this when they're teens, no lie. (nonfiction)
Modern Romance, by Aziz Ansari and Eric Klinenberg- while it's a very funny and entertaining read, as I'm reading what the dating scene looks like in the past decade, all I could think was, "Thank god I'm not single now and looking for love". And then I thought about how it ties into what I read in Reclaiming Conversations.
Siblings Without Rivalry, by Adele Faber and Elaine Mazlish – this really helped us deal with jealousy issues in our children last year
Decisive: How to Make Decisions in Life and Work, by Chip and Dan Heath

Star Wars, and other Arts and Culture that moved me in 2015
February 7, 2016 jtoh
I don't get out on the town that much anymore, other than my season's tickets to the National Ballet (young kids are such a bummer). Even so, there was still lots of arts and culture that moved me in 2015. And since it's already into February in 2016, without further ado, let's get to the list!
TV / Webseries
The Lizzie Bennet Diaries, a webseries on Youtube.
This 2013 production takes Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice and updates it to the current modern era and format with aplomb. Lizzie Bennett is a video blogger (aka vlogger) and through her semi-weekly videos (each usually lasting between 3 and 5 minutes), the story unfolds. It's not necessary to know the plot of Pride and Prejudice to enjoy this series, but it does give an extra layer of enjoyment to be able to anticipate the plot, and compare the adaptations. It even won an Emmy! I love that Charlotte and Bingley/Bing Lee are Chinese! I love the costume theatre! (you'll see) I missed this web series during the original publishing back in 2012, so I did lose out on the interactive trans-media aspect of it, but it was no matter, I was hooked all the same and binge watched this in two sessions. If you're a romantic, give it to episode 7, and see if you too aren't hooked for the count. Continue reading Star Wars, and other Arts and Culture that moved me in 2015 →

Falling in love with Eleanor & Park
I fell in love with this book, Eleanor & Park, by Rainbow Rowell, quickly and completely. Much like how the title characters do with each other.
Eleanor is the eldest of five children in a family smothered under poverty and the tyranny of an alcoholic, abusive stepfather. With bright red, curly hair, pale skin, Rubenesque body, and strange thrift-shop wardrobe, she stands out in school for all the wrong reasons. Continue reading Falling in love with Eleanor & Park →

How To Be a Woman
December 3, 2014 jtoh	1 Comment
In the last six months I've read a bunch of books, many of them by funny women, but none of them have impacted me as much as How To Be A Woman, by Caitlin Moran.
She lays bare many of the underlying reasons of the angst I feel about being a woman in these modern days. At least as a woman into her late 30s, because admittedly she hasn't reached middle age yet. Best of all she does so in a thoroughly readable, entertaining, and often laugh-out-loud funny manner. The things she points outs here is so on point and truthful that I am going to make my daughters read this book when they are about 12. I wholeheartedly recommend this book to any woman who thinks about her place in this world, and any man who wants to understand more about real women.

Wise words from Amy Poehler? Yes Please!

Yes Please, by Amy Poehler
Lately I've been on a reading kick, and particularly autobiographical books from funny women. Amy Poehler's contribution to the collection is one of the best. Part memoir (from her "middle-years"), part words-of-wisdom, part collection of funny stories, it was a real treat to read.
You can tell that this was a book written as snatches of stories in stolen snippets of time, but masterfully edited together. Seriously, kudos to her editors. The 3 sections/themes of the book likely weren't planned on the outset, and yet it works.
Not only is she very funny, Poehler is thoroughly quotable with some very wise words regarding working and career that really resonated with me. Continue reading Wise words from Amy Poehler? Yes Please! →

Book review: Death Comes to Pemberley
I do love a good mystery. I thoroughly enjoy Jane Austen's novels as well. P.D. James has gone and put the two together in Death Comes to Pemberley, and does an astounding job of it. This really is a murder mystery done in the tone and style of Jane Austen, using the familiar characters from Pride and Prejudice. It would totally be believable as a shocking sequel to Pride and Prejudice if Jane Austen a)were to write any sequels and b)were to write something as gory and ugly as a murder.
I admit that I didn't remember all the characters that had already been introduced in Pride and Prejudice (ahem, Captain Denny, the poor victim), but it was kind of delightful "catching up" with these characters six years after the events of P&P transpired. Indulgent, sure, but it definitely enables James to easily establish our sympathies for these characters, their actions and their motivations without having to spend a lot of time with backstory.

50 Cent Shares Trailer For His New Series "The Oath"
50 Cent might have the next bingeworthy series for television enthusiasts. The G-Unit boss has released a new trailer for The Oath, his upcoming series about police gangs, which will premiere on the streaming service Crackle on March 8.
Much like Starz's hit show Power, 50 Cent also serves as executive producer of The Oath. His upload of this trailer for The Oath comes months after a teaser for the show was released.
Last year, the Den of Thieves star expressed his excitement at the opportunity to executive produce yet another scripted series.
"I am very excited to be partnering with Sony Pictures Television Networks and Crackle," he said in a statement. "To be able to bring this story to life is something I'm looking forward to and Joe Halpin's personal experience will make this unlike anything that's been seen before."
The Oath stars Cory Hardrict and Sean Bean. It is written and produced by Joe Halpin, a former L.A. Sheriff's deputy.
Sean Bean, who stars as Tom Hammond on the show, is known for his roles as Boromir in The Lord Of The Rings trilogy and Ned Stark in Game of Thrones. His co-star, Cory Hardrict, also boasts quite the resume, having starred in All Eyez on Me and American Sniper.
The Oath will take a look at the inner workings of police gangs and uncover the inner turmoil that surrounds these organizations. It will demonstrate how police gangs morphed from something created with good intentions to nearly the opposite.

I was waiting and hoping you will post some of these photos. And I was also expecting to be overwhelmed… but you did knock me down with these beautiful photos. I'm in awe, and you my friend are a rock-star!! Love no1 for the beautiful delicate light, 17+18 for the wonderful stunning bokeh and 36 for it's DOF. Totally in love with 46 and 48. WOW!!
Inspiring. And I will heed that advice. I will travel as much as possible now!
ericha! why have you not posted that image before? gorgeous. in fact, reminds me of SUCH a similiar sunset flying in northern norway couple monts ago! explore. dream. discover. i like that very much. get out there, e!
Time to go Ericha! 😀 There's no time like this time.
I love, love, love that quote!! And the photo too.. so beautiful!!


I always have the best intentions to prepare some shows for ANZAC Day and I always leave it to the last minute. You would have thought that I would have done so for the 100th Anniversary, but no, again I have nearly missed my deadline.
I have decided I would quickly record some of my Australian Army Public Relations discs and put them up here to give you an idea of some of the shows that they put together to entertain troops as well as educate Australians about our defence force.
The first example is War Correspondent ep87 - Coast Watchers. This is a dramatisation telling the story of Coast Watchers in WWII. These men lived behind enemy lines and reported positions and movements of the enemy. It was a dangerous and courageous job. Many Coast Watchers did not survive the war.
War Correspondent is 208 x 30 minute episodes. It was released on 10" discs with act one on side A and act two on the other.
The next show is Army Showtime. I don't know anything about this series and haven't started to research it, but it is interesting so I thought I would include it. Terry McDermott is the compare and the show is a mixture of music and songs of the day with Australian artists and includes a story about an act of heroism or action with historical significance for the Australian Army. This is a more recent series than I would normally research, but as I come from a long line of a family with Army and R.A.N. members, it is an area of interest to me. Both my wife and myself are ex R.A.N. as was my Father. His Uncle and cousins were Army as were members of my Mothers family.
Last one for now is Anne Now. This is very recent in relation to where I normally research, approximately 1971-1974 apparently. It stars Anne Hawker and her musician husband Johnny Hawker. There is a guest star each episode and in this one it is Terry Norris, famous at the time of this recording as an actor on ABC Series Bellbird. The television equivalent of Blue Hills. Anne Now is a variety show mixing Anne singing and telling jokes or comedy skits.
I am including this series here because I do want to research and document the series. There seems to be very little information about it. I understand that Anne and Johnny are still with us and I would love to hear from them.
A very mixed lot for sure, but some interesting tales, corny jokes and more. I hope you find something of interest and perhaps learn something new.
Ian, currently it looks like the Readers Contributions has been deleted?
The actress in the photograph with Fifi Banvard and Ruth Cracknell is Maree Austin , not Marie Ormiston. I am Maree Austin who played Sister Short, and that is my photograph, I am very proud to have been associated with White Coolies.

Home News At least 58,600 people died while seeking better lives since 2014
At least 58,600 people died while seeking better lives since 2014
Posted By: Editorial Teamon: November 01, 2018 In: News1 Comment
One by one, five to a grave, the coffins are buried in the red earth of this corner of a South African cemetery. The scrawl on the cheap wood attests to their anonymity: "Unknown B/Male."
These men were migrants from elsewhere in Africa with next to nothing who sought a living in the thriving underground economy of Gauteng province, a name that roughly translates to "land of gold." Instead of fortune, many found death, their bodies unnamed and unclaimed — more than 4,300 in Gauteng between 2014 and 2017 alone.
Some of those lives ended here at the Olifantsvlei cemetery, in silence, among tufts of grass growing over tiny placards that read: Pauper Block. There are coffins so tiny that they could only belong to children.
As people worldwide flee war, hunger and a lack of jobs, global migration has soared to record highs, with more than 258 million international migrants in 2017. That is an increase of 49 percent from the turn of the century, according to the United Nations.
Far less visible, however, has been the toll of this mass migration: The tens of thousands of people who die or simply disappear during their journeys, never to be seen again. A growing number of migrants have drowned, died in deserts or fallen prey to traffickers, leaving their families to wonder what on earth happened to them. At the same time, anonymous bodies are filling cemeteries around the world, like the one in Gauteng.
In most cases, nobody is keeping track: Barely counted in life, these people don't register in death, as if they never lived at all.
An Associated Press tally has documented at least 56,800 migrants dead or missing worldwide since 2014 — almost double the number found in the world's only official attempt to try to count them, by the U.N.'s International Organization for Migration. The IOM toll as of Oct. 1 was more than 28,500. The AP came up with almost 28,300 additional dead or missing migrants by compiling information from other international groups, requesting forensic records, missing persons reports and death records, and sifting through data from thousands of interviews with migrants.
The AP's tally is still low. Bodies of migrants lie undiscovered in desert sands or at the bottom of the sea. And families don't always report loved ones as missing because they are illegal, or because they left home without saying exactly where they were headed.
The official U.N. toll focuses mostly on Europe, but even there cases fall through the cracks. The political tide is turning against migrants in Europe just as in the United States, where the government is cracking down heavily on caravans of Central Americans trying to get in. One result is that money is drying up for projects to track migration and its costs.
For example, when more than 800 people died in an April 2015 shipwreck off the coast of Italy, Europe's deadliest migrant sea disaster, Italian investigators pledged to identify them and find their families. More than three years later, under a new populist government, funding for this work is being cut off.
Beyond Europe, information is even more scarce. Little is known about the toll in South America, where the Venezuelan migration is among the world's biggest today, and in Asia, the top region for numbers of migrants.
The result is that governments vastly underestimate the toll of migration, a major political and social issue in most of the world today.
"No matter where you stand on the whole migration management debate….these are still human beings on the move," said Bram Frouws, the head of the Mixed Migration Centre, based in Geneva, which has done surveys of more than 20,000 migrants in its 4Mi project since 2014. "Whether it's refugees or people moving for jobs, they are human beings."

As a major event of the International Heliophysical Year (IHY) 2007 this conference brings together the expertises of scientists, who are working in different fields of Heliophysics. This new term expresses the fact that the science of the Sun, the Heliosphere and related fields has evolved to such level that further progress, particularly regarding the solar-/ interstellar-terrestrial relations, requires multidisciplinary efforts. Therefore, this conference covers all physical aspects from the solar core, via the heliosphere to the local interstellar medium. A discussion of the basic structure of the system "Sun-Heliosphere" will be followed by studies of the magnetic field as the most important link between nearly all regions of this system. The dynamics of the system due to internal and external triggers, i.e. the solar activity and the variable galactic environment, will be investigated, as well as its significance for the related fields like stellar activity and life in the heliosphere. Especially, the influence of the integrated system "Sun-Heliosphere" on the Earth's environment will be analysed.


The Reds proved too strong once again for their opponents. Photo: Brendan Hertel/QRU Media Unit.
The Queensland Reds U20s have strengthened their grip at the top of the competition with a commanding 46-15 win over the Western Force U20s in Perth.
The hosts suffered an early blow with powerful forward Shambeckler Vui succumbing to a head clash in the opening ten minutes.
Queensland made the most of the early ascendency as Sam Edwards found the ball on the wing to score the first try of the afternoon.
Five minutes later, his opposite wing Will Eadie put his name on the board mirroring Edwards' effort on the other edge and a Harry Nucifora conversion made it 14-0.
The Force tried to settle into the contest but Nucifora increased the Reds' lead with a penalty before Effie Ma'afu and captain Liam Wright added tries to further consolidate the margin.
Force flyhalf Anthony Hondros put the first points on the board for the home side as the half time siren sounded with Queensland leading 31-3.
The Reds began where they left off in the first half with outside centre Dylan Riley given too much space and adding another five-pointer.
The Force made a fist at a comeback attempt with back-to-back tries through Jordan Holgate and Brody Macaskill.
The Reds weathered the charge from the home side, Alex Horan adding a penalty goal with 15 minutes left to play to stretch their lead.
Angus Blyth sealed the win with less than a minute left, notching his first try of the competition.

Kings Of Leon Admit They Just Became 'Business Partners'
Kings of Leon have opened up about the state of the band and admit that at some point they became as much business partners as bandmates and family members.
Kings of Leon have opened up about the state of the band and admit that at some point they became as much business partners as bandmates and family members. The band are prepping for their new release Walls and sat down with NME.com about the state of affairs during the height of their success. "After a while, it's not 'I'm going to do an interview with my brother,' it's 'I'm going to do an interview with the drummer.' When you get together, it's never 'We are the band.' We lost that. There were a lot of moments when we weren't talking. It was 'Man, we've become business partners. We haven't maintained our friendship and our brotherhood, everything that we are," said Caleb Followill. "We were definitely going for it and trying really hard, but we got into a comfort zone. We've tried to peel that away on this album, by not using the same producer and doing it in our studio. We were really challenging ourselves, doing things where we were scratching our heads going 'Holy s**t, is this right? Is this wrong?'" Copyright(c) 2016 RTTNews.com. All Rights Reserved

Gianfranco D'Aniello Joins Dalla Terra Winery Direct as Northwest Regional Manager
Dalla Terra Winery Direct president Dave Holt announced that Gianfranco D'Aniello has joined its sales team as Northwest regional manager. D'Aniello will be responsible for overseeing sales in Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Washington and Wyoming.
"I've known Gianfranco for many years and have always respected his work ethic, management skills and knowledge of Italian wines," says Holt. "We're thrilled to add someone of his caliber to the Dalla Terra team."
Based in Seattle, D'Aniello has had a successful career representing wineries from around the world, with a primary focus on Italian wines. His career in the food and wine industry began with the opening of his 120 seat restaurant, Ave'Ristorante Italiano, in Seattle. D'Aniello transitioned full-time into the wine industry as a wine sales specialist for the Seattle-based importer, Bianco-Rosso Imports, followed by a position as Italian wine specialist for Western Washington Beverage. Since 1999, D'Aniello has been part of the sales team at Winebow, Inc., where he rose from district sales manager to import regional vice president, Pacific Northwest.
About Dalla Terra Winery Direct
The Dalla Terra Winery Direct roster reads like a who's who of some of the most esteemed family-owned wineries in Italy. Each producer has played a major role in the significant strides Italy has made over the last 20 years in improving the quality of its wines. Dalla Terra Winery Direct is changing the nature of the wine importing and distribution business. The company's unique business model skips the national importer level in the three-tier distribution system, allowing U.S. distributors to buy directly from the producer. Dalla Terra's business model offers a more efficient, economical and consumer-friendly way of shipping, distributing and marketing wine, eliminating on average 20- to 25 percent in markups on each bottle. While Dalla Terra's services are sought after by winemakers all over Italy because of the company's economically competitive edge, producers are also attracted by the company's commitment to highlighting individuality by choosing to work with only a few top producers from each wine-growing region in Italy. Founder Brian Larky considers each of the producers he works with part of a roundtable on innovation and quality, at which each producer has a voice. In 2009, Wine Enthusiast nominated Dalla Terra for Importer of the Year for its annual Wine Star Awards. On January 24, 2011, Larky was inducted into the Italian Trade Commission's Wines of Italy Hall of Fame at the opening reception for Vino 2011 at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York, NY. This marks the highest level of distinction presented by the Italian government to wine industry leaders. In 2014, Garofoli, the oldest family-owned winery in the Marche region of Italy, joined the Dalla Terra portfolio.

Writing this because I could not find a solution on Google when the virus hit my computer. Hopefully, someone else who needs it will see this!
Symptoms : Virus changes folders to a screensaver with extensions '.scr'. For example, Movies becomes Movies.scr and Photos becomes Photos.scr. These folders cannot be opened and are only 40kb or so. However, the space previously occupied by your files is still taken up.
The virus copies the folder name and creates a .scr file with the same name, PRETENDING to be your folder. It is in fact NOT your folder. It then proceeds to HIDE your original files so you naturally assume that the .scr files are your folders which have been locked somehow.
1) Scan with your anti-virus and delete all .scr files. I know these files may have scary names like WeddingPhotos.scr which you might think "oh no.. I can't delete my wedding photos!" but it's not your wedding photos so just delete it.
2) Show hidden files. For Windows 7, it's Control Panel > Appearance and Personalization > Folder Options. Check "Show hidden files, folders and drives". You will now see your REAL folders (real wedding photos) but they are faint coloured (hidden).
3) Permanently unhide folders by right clicking on the folder > Properties > Uncheck "Hidden" then it will prompt you to apply for all sub folders. Click yes to make your life easier.
Your blog entry juz saved my laptop!!! Thx a lot!!!
Many thanks... you just save my day!


A TAIWANESE student has testified it was difficult to consistently pick high volumes of mushrooms at a plant now under scrutiny for allegedly underpaying more than 400 workers $646,000.
Jia-Sing Chen, who called herself Diana while in Australia, was one of several workers who made complaints about Marland Mushrooms to the Fair Work Ombudsmen.
"If you were working in a room where the harvest was really good, you could do about 20 kilos per hour. If you are working in a room where it's not so good, you could only get about 4 kilograms per hour," she said through an interpreter.
But under questioning from Marland Mushrooms' defence barrister Robert Bain, Ms Chen agreed there were times when there were not enough pickers to harvest the amount of mushrooms being produced.
Labour hire provider HRS Country owner Tao Hu has admitted during the trial in Federal Court she knew workers were being underpaid but Marland Mushrooms owner Troy Marland maintains he was unaware.
The National Farmers Federation is an intervener on the case, saying the trial could set a precedent about farm-worker awards because it will test whether piece rates paid in horticulture are successful.
On Monday, the court heard two Fair Work inspectors met with Mr Marland and Mr Hu in February 2014 to explain the mushroom pickers' wages of 60-80 cents a kilogram picked was well short of the 91 cents a kilogram they should have been earning.
Today barrister Justin Bourke presented five witnesses as part of the Fair Work Ombudsman's case, all of whom worked at the Staplyton farm, south of Brisbane.
Former mushroom picker Jin Singh Jiahn, a Taiwanese farmer who called herself Fei while in Australia, told the court through an interpreter her supervisor had praised her for her quick ability to competently pick mushrooms.
Fei made a complaint to the Fair Work Ombudsman on pay rates HRS Country provided while she was at Marland Mushrooms in December 2013.
Mr Bain asked her to confirm if her complaint suggested Korean backpackers were given preference for higher wages and benefits over Taiwanese pickers, which she agreed with.
However, when asked by Mr Bourke to explain her complaint she responded: "I was trying to complain that we were not being paid for what we were doing, we were being paid too little."
The trial, which sits before Judge Darryl Rangiah, continues tomorrow.

K. Michelle Poses In Her Underwear To Bare The "Dents" And "Scars" Left Behind From Having Toxic Butt Injections Removed
Written By: Victoria Uwumarogie
K. Michelle is feeling more comfortable in her skin than ever before now that she's healthy.
The 33-year-old singer has been very open about the journey she's been on since 2018 to have butt injections, as in the white pellets that made up the material injected in her, removed from her backside and other parts of her body that they found their way into. After numerous surgeries, the "Can't Raise a Man" singer is getting some work done to reconstruct her natural behind, which was obviously altered with the injections and after they were removed. She showed fans her progress on Instagram this week, posing unabashedly in a crop top and her underwear. She talked about how far she's come and her upcoming TV series helping other women have silicone removed from their bodies.
"This body of mine has been through hell! It isn't perfect but it's MY body," she said. "This journey has been difficult but i'm a tough cookie. Proud of myself and that's all that matters! Finishing up my reconstruction with @drcarlosgomez1 I'll see you in Jan. Also i'm excited about my new tv show helping women like me remove silicon from their bodies! Powerful and how I want to spend my 2020, saving some peoples life."

While plenty of people lauded her for prioritizing her health and "living in your truth," she did find herself at odds with a woman who claimed that her photo looked edited and therefore, claimed she wasn't keeping it 100 percent real. K refuted that idea, saying anything you see in the pic, dents, curves, scars, are not of an edited picture. They are, instead, the effects of having to have tissue removed from her lower half because of the silicone that was in her system and the damage it did internally. Of course, K being K, she didn't say it exactly like that…
"The curves you see are my scars you stupid a– b—h. Sick of you bottom level a– hoes always talking about sh-t you have no clue about!" she replied. "I have dents in me from where the tissue was cut out and you get on here talking about I edited a picture. If I edited a picture it would look better than this. And what type of jealous a– bitch get on a post like this starting some sh-t? Oh. The biggest loser. Edit that with yo nutty a–."
Anyway, the star talked about making the decision to go through the long process of having the silicone removed after finding herself in pain and her health compromised while on The Dr. Oz Showlast year.
"I really thought I was like poppin'," she said. "I was like, oh yeah, I look good. I look so good. And I did it so many years ago. I did it about, what, four or five years ago. And I didn't start to feel any pain or have any issues until like a year ago. And my health just started to decline and go down and I ran all types of blood tests, everything. Doctors were really trying to figure out, you know, what was wrong with me. And I had seen some stories of a lot of women who were going through the same thing and it was like discoloration. It was pain in your back. It was migraines. It was super discomfort. I took the stats and I'm like I know what this is. It's like you always have this intuition where you know you might want to ignore it. But I couldn't ignore it anymore and it just wasn't worth it."

The Man Who Formed "The Barrow Gang" With Clyde Barrow
FULTS, Ralph (January 23, 1911- March 16, 1993). Famous Depression-era Outlaw, bank robber and criminal of the 1930's. He met Clyde Barrow in prison when he was 19 years old and was serving a life sentence for grand larceny. In 1930, with Clyde Barrow, formed what became known as the "Barrow Gang". In 1932, the Barrow Gang was about to raid the Eastham Prison farm in Texas to free prisoners when Fults was shot and captured. Barrow escaped. On an earlier foray in Texas with Bonnie and Clyde, Fults and Bonnie were captured and Clyde escaped. In return for releasing Bonnie, Fults took the rap and was sentenced to 15 years in the penitentiary. In 1935, six months after Bonnie and Clyde were shot to death in a police ambush, Fults was paroled. He joined forces with Raymond Hamilton, a former Barrow associate who had been declared Public Enemy #1 by the F.B.I. Fults and Hamilton shot their way out of several police traps as they left a string of robberies across Texas, Oklahoma and Mississippi. On March 28, 1935, they disarmed a 15 man posse and eluded 20 National Guardsmen after a bank robbery in Mississippi. Both were arrested within three weeks. Hamilton was executed. Prosecutors sought the death penalty for Fults but he received a 100 year sentence in return for a guilty plea. Broadside containing a reprint of a biographical article about Fults. Bold headlines read "The Man Who Ran With Bonnie and Clyde". Article contains a portrait of Fults. Hand signed by Ralph Fults in the upper blank area offering excellent contrast.

No one could doubt the psychological impact that Covid-19 has had on young people around the world, and it's been no different in Australia, where youth mental health was already a serious concern well before the pandemic.
According to Beyond Blue, over 75% of mental health issues become apparent before the age of 25 and, shockingly, suicide is the major cause of loss of life in young people.
In the Inner West of Sydney, police youth liaison officers report an alarming rise in incidents of violent attacks by and against young people in the neighbourhood's parks and reserves since March- April 2020, when schools were shut temporarily.
Now, a new survey by La Trobe University has found that 81% queer youth nationally report high or very high levels of psychological distress.
For Addison Road community Organisation, the mental health stress exacerbated by the pandemic is more than just heart-wrenching statistics. As a broad-based community development organisation, we engage with young people in many different ways, from our all-welcome low- cost Food Pantries in Marrickville and Camperdown, to the annual Public Schools Arts Festival.
Young people today have so much on their shoulders
but perhaps too few opportunities to speak out
and be seriously heard.
During the hardest months of the pandemic in 2020, we provided assistance to young people from many walks of life through our Food Relief Hub, working with other organisations like Twenty10, Marrickville Youth Resource Centre and Weave Youth & Community Services.
Many young people who come to us for food relief get on board as volunteers in the Addi Road Food Pantry or Food Relief Hub, demonstrating the powerful principle of mutual aid. They're gaining work experience, developing skills and contributing to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by helping us divert food from going into landfill.
Offering opportunities and support to young people in our community is something we have been doing at Addi Road for many years, especially in Youth Week.
This year, we're taking an extra-creative approach to Youth Week with our events. Word on the Street is a series of three poetry-spoken word workshops, followed by an all-ages poetry SLAM where participants can try out their new work, alongside established writers, poets and performers.
The workshops, led by experienced, dynamic young poets, will help participants develop their own creative vision and voice – individual, idiosyncratic, reflective or angry. Young people today have so much on their shoulders and so much to say, but perhaps too few opportunities to speak out and be seriously heard.
Recognising that LGBTIQ youth experience even higher rates of psychological distress, self-harm and suicide – while youth services generally cannot keep up with demand – we will be raising funds for Twenty10's LGBTIQ youth support services at the Word on the Street Poetry SLAM at that follows the workshops.
Mel Ree from Australian Poetry Slam will lead one of Addi Road's Word on the Street workshops. She believes in the power of storytelling to overcome difference and share understanding of the human condition.
Word on the Street at Addi Road
13-16th April, 2021
Poetry-spoken word workshops for young people (12-25 years) led by experienced performance poets from across Sydney (details to follow on social media) Wednesday to Friday, 13-16th April.
$20 per workshop or free for participants referred by a youth service. Tickets here from Humanitix.
Word on the Street – Poetry SLAM for all ages at Addi Road, Friday, 16th April, 6pm supported by Sara Saleh, a Bankstown Poetry Slam director and recent winner of the prestigious Peter Porter Poetry Prize.
The all-ages Friday night SLAM provides a public platform for participants in our spoken word workshops (13-15th April) to perform their new work. It is also open to any others who wish to come along and celebrate the power of words to create change in our lives and communities. You don't need to book – just come along to listen and support or perform.
Word on the Street takes place in our large Covid-safe community space, Gumbramorra Hall. Refreshments from the Addi Road Food Pantry will be available in the Hall, and from the delicious Koshari Korner Egyptian food truck outside.
Live captioning and Auslan interpreting available – please get in touch with Mina to arrange on 9569 7633 or programs@addiroad.org.au
Word on the Street at Addi Road workshops and poetry slam are supported by Inner West Council.

BGC Praises The Reopening Of Scottish Betting Shops After Four Months
The BGC has praised the reopening of Scottish betting shops this week after a four-week closure.
Yesterday (April 26), Scotland's 750 betting shops were given the green light to reopen, allowing Scottish punters to visit the shops for the first time in four months. However, as part of the reopening, all gaming machines will remain off, TV volume has been lowered, and all customers are required to provide contact details.
In a post celebrating the news, the Betting and Gaming Council (BGC) states that Scotland's betting shops employ a combined total of 4,000 people and pay £80 million in tax and £6 million in business rates.
The reopening of Scottish betting shops comes two weeks after betting shops reopened in England and Wales. According to the BGC, betting shops across the UK support 46,000 jobs and pay almost £1 billion a year in tax to the Treasury and have helped contributed £350 million into the horseracing industry too.
Praising the news, BGC Chief Executive Michael Dugher said in a statement: "Following the safe reopening of betting shops in England and Wales earlier this month, Scottish shops getting back to business is another step towards normality and a welcome boost for jobs on the high street in Scotland.
"It's great news for their staff and customers, and of course it is an important source of funding for horseracing. As we look forward to a great summer of sport, Scottish punters will once again be able to safely enjoy a flutter on the high street."
Paddy Power Confirms Reopening Of Betting Shops In England, Scotland And Wales
Also this week, Paddy Power has confirmed the reopening of its betting shops in England, Scotland, and Wales, although shops located in Ireland will remain closed. The betting shop brand announced the news yesterday (April 26) and revealed the Covid-19 safety guidelines each shop will follow.
According to Paddy Power's news article, the restrictions include a maximum capacity of eight people on the shop floor, only two gaming machines will be allowed on at any given time, all furniture will be removed, and there will be no televised live sports. What's more, betting shops will close at 8 PM, and customers will be limited to two visits a day of a maximum of 15 minutes.
In addition to the above restrictions, Paddy Power will encourage customers to use hand sanitisers when entering shops, before and after using machines, and when leaving shops. It's also urged customers to take or bin pens after using them to write out bets, to use contactless payment, to scan the NHS Track and Trace QR code, and to follow floor markings in-store.
In a brief statement on the Paddy Power website, the brand said: "Our number one priority is keeping our customers and team members safe. So, all our shops will follow the latest government guidelines on social distancing and ensure other public health requirements are met in full, in the interests of colleagues and customers."
Operator SkillOnNet Launches New Online Casino
Meanwhile, leading gambling operator SkillOnNet has launched a brand new online casino, Zebra Wins, which it promises will provide players with a "fun and thrilling experience" with over 3,000 unique video slots to choose from.
According to a press release at European Gaming, the brand new online casino website has launched in the UK and in other regulated markets too. It's been launched by a team of industry veterans and includes content from some of the most popular game developers around, including Microgaming, Play'n GO, Merkur Gaming, Yggdrasil, Evolution, Pragmatic Play, NetEnt, and more.
In addition to the above high-quality casino content, the website accepts a wide selection of payment options and currencies, offers fast withdrawal times, and provides all new customers with a generous welcome bonus too. Finally, the website also features SkillOnNet's popular Daily Picks, offering new bonuses every day, and it runs a loyalty scheme for all long-term players.
Jerry Land of SkillOnNet, said in a statement: "I am delighted to welcome Zebra Wins to [a] growing roster of online casinos powered by our award-winning platform. We have built a reputation for allowing new brands to enter regulated markets with a leading proposition.
"Not only that, but our platform offers a portfolio of more than 3,000 slots, casino and live dealer games, a great selection of localised payment options and round the clock customer support – everything a casino brand needs to succeed. Zebra Wins combines this with an experienced management team and a concept and theme that will undoubtedly prove to be a big hit with players in markets across Europe."
Adele Sinclair, the Managing Director of 15 Marketing, the owner of Zebra Wins, added: "We are thrilled to debut Zebra Wins to players in regulated markets across Europe and for them to enjoy the incredible online casino experience we have created for the first time. This would not have been possible without SkillOnNet. Its platform and game portfolio provide the foundation we need to offer players the unrivalled levels of fun and entertainment that we are promising."
The news comes several weeks after SkillOnNet launched its 'Safe Mate' responsible gambling as part of a partnership with Neccton. The tool, designed in collaboration with behavioural scientists and psychologists, tracks how much money customers have deposited and wagered, and how much time they've spent gambling over a six-month period.
The news also comes after the operator signed a content partnership with game developer 1X2 Gaming, under which the studio's entire selection of casino games has been made available with SkillOnNet brands, including PlayOJO, Slingo, Lord Ping, PlayToro, and numerous others.

call: Strangelove A Queer Festival Open Call Docs.
Strangelove A Queer Festival Open Call Docs.
Here is your call for a queer celebration of fierce beings!
Release your inner fairy or beast! Tease us, poke us! We are uniting again under our lovely and monstrous expressions. Let's go wild!
By exploring gender and sexuality in many of its campy manifestations, Strangelove Festival is back in town and looking for queer artists to enable non-binary identities, instincts and curiosities.
Are you a filmmaker, visual artist, musician, writer or performer experimenting queer art in unexpected and gorgeous ways? Then send us your work! Our call is open between 15 November – 31 December 2018. Submit via our website!
Don't be deadly, just be cuddly! Show us your love!
