Writing is always a rough translation from wordlessness into words – Charles Simic
I arrived at about 8pm on the Friday evening. Leuchars station is not close to St Andrews itself and (it made me feel at home) there were roadworks disrupting the usual route so instead of 5 miles it was a 10 mile trip. Actually, it was dark and I had no idea where I was so I'm just quoting the chatty taxi driver here – who also lamented the decline in business in recent years. Lack of local money generally he said and the changing habits of students who go out less, pre-drink more and choose to stumble home rather than call his cab. We waited a few minutes for Pascale Petit's train to arrive. She'd been travelling for 12 hours (from Cornwall) which made my 5 hour train ride feel like nothing much. Unpacking, I reflected north is a very long way north.
I was staying at the Greyfriars Hotel but walked up to the Byre Theatre on Abbey Street, the main Festival venue. The headline reading for the evening was Lemn Sissay (who I'd just missed) followed by Don Paterson. I arrived at the interval and the talk at the bar was of a local heckler interrupting Sissay. I never got to hear how he dealt with it but it seemed to say something about the tone of this festival that there was as much talk about inclusion as there was annoyance at the interruption. The auditorium was sold out (typical of this StAnza while I was there – you needed to book your event fast). I had no ticket but Jim Carruth took me to the studio theatre to a live relay of what remained of the event. Paterson read mostly from 40 Sonnets including 'Here', 'Wave', 'A Powercut', 'Little Aster' and the curiously moving death-of-a-dog poem 'Mercies'. He also read aphorisms from an iPad and I remember 'Poetry is not a vocation but a diagnosis'. And (one for his students, he said) 'If a poem is read slowly enough we begin to hear things – which – are – not – there'.
I was woken by seagulls in the grey dawn and through a gap in the Greyfriars curtains I could make out a CCTV camera on its right-angled gantry across the road, white and intent and about the size of a large gull. Perhaps I was dreaming. I was reading next morning with Tracey Herd in St John's Undercroft, a long brick-arched room, with a great acoustic and atmospherically lit. Andrew Jackson generously introduced us and I read most of my A Hatfield Mass sequence which I think of as celebratory poetry about nature, perception, growing up/older, the body. Tracey's book Not In This World was a PBS Choice and shortlisted for the TS Eliot Prize this year and is her first collection for 14 years. She did not read those poems about film stars or racehorses for which she's justly renowned but powerful, recent poems of loss: "Somewhere, someone much loved is leaving".
I was also reading in the afternoon at a 'Past and Present' event – where poets talk on writers from the past. This was the first occasion (in the Council Chamber of St Andrews' Town Hall – where marriages are performed we were told) at which I could read some of my new, just-off-the-press versions of the Daodejing. Pascale Petit was also appearing and she talked about her enthusiasm for Tomas Transtromer, in particular the way in which his poems often use an aerial perspective; from his first published poem: "Waking up is a parachute jump from dreams". I'm sure she said she'd consulted a Swedish friend who said his surname meant something like crane-over-water – ornithological crane obviously.
Later in the afternoon, at the Parliament Hall, Fiona Benson and Andrew McMillan read. Benson was nervous in front of the large crowd (and who can blame her) but she was soon absorbed in the poetry itself and her demeanour was not at odds with the work. Sections of 'Love-Letter to Vincent' (Van Gogh) were read with great intensity. Other poems of pregnancy, miscarriage, birth and motherhood were more moving and (as Dave Coates has suggested) her book's up-beat title, Bright Travellers, misleads. The contrast with McMillan was not to either poet's detriment. I reviewed physical on this blog back in July 2015 and his (in various senses) naked poems, even when sad, manage to stir great pleasure in the audience. In person, he adds to this a wise-cracking, witty style of introduction and between-poem chat. Given his marvellous success this year I wasn't sure why he wanted to discuss some of the negative criticisms he's had but even that does not prevent me wanting to use that old Hollywood term 'star' in listening to McMillan perform.
Nora Gomringer
It was another sell-out in the Byre Theatre on Saturday evening with an event indicative of the Director, Eleanor Livingstone's innovative approach to programming (and part of the German poetry emphasis to this year). Nora Gomringer performed work (with percussionist Philipp Scholz) which reminded me at moments of Laurie Anderson, at others of the much-missed Bob Cobbing (who I saw read/sing in London in the 1980s), at all times evoking a jazz-like improvised feel. Quite brilliant. Jo Shapcott had the tricky job of following this and chose to read a number of 'The Roses' poems from Tender Taxes, her responses to Rilke's poems in French. These are a bit delicate and brief to come over very strongly in a live reading and other new poems on pain (but without mentioning the word) I found not easy to appreciate. But the brilliant prose poem 'Scorpion', the touching 'Somewhat Unravelled' and the finisher, 'Piss Flower' ended the evening in style.
I had a train to catch next day but managed to get to stride along the Chariots of Fire beach early in the morning plus take a peek at St Andrews Old Course before the Poetry Breakfast discussion on translation. Diplomatically and informally chaired by Annie Rutherford, the theme emerged that we ought to think more loosely, more liberally about the idea of translation. Aurelia Maurin suggested we should think of it more as we do cover versions of songs. Claudia Daventry opened the field up by quoting Charles Simic's idea that all poems are translations from silence. Nora Gomringer remembered a professor urging her to find 'the game' of any poem she intended to translate not merely to work line by line. She'd been asked to translate Yoko Ono's poems into German but felt unable to and the importance of the rightness of a translator to a source text was demonstrated when, on another occasion, she'd translated from Russian (I think) and had actually been spat at by a disapproving reader. I was struck – as before – by what powerful emotions the idea of translation stirs up, involved as it is with ideas of truth, honesty and fidelity. I especially liked Daniela Seel's take on the process, stressing the almost chance meeting of suitable translator with appropriate source text and the way in which the linguistic and emotional 'body' of the translator (his/her resources) need to be matched to the varied demands of the source text.
But I had to catch my train and, though exhausted, I spent some of the six hours back re-reading Montale's loving lament and memorial to his wife, Drusilla Tanzi, here translated by G. Singh:
With my arm in yours I have descended at least a million stairs,
And now that you aren't here, a void opens at each step.
Even so our long journey has been brief.
Mine continues still [. . . ]

Bertolt Brecht's 'Of Poor B.B.'
August 17, 2015 August 26, 2015 martyn crucefix Uncategorized	Bertolt Brecht, Brecht's poems, close analysis of poetry, Faber and Faber, German poetry, Gottfried Benn, Methuen, Michael Hamburger, Michael Hofmann, T S Eliot, translation
I have taken too little heed of BB, the poet. The chances are that you have too. This would certainly have been the case in 1976 when John Willett and Ralph Mannheim published Brecht's Poems 1913-1956 (Eyre Methuen) with its stellar cast of translators. The Introduction to that selection pointed out that, until well after his death in 1956, "Brecht the poet remained like an unsuspected time-bomb ticking" under world literature. It's our desperate bad luck that most of us have only ever been encouraged to approach Brecht through his dramatic theories, then his plays, "only coming to the poems as a by-product of his theatre work".
Things may have changed more quickly on mainland Europe, but only 10 years ago Michael Hofmann could still argue that the "prevailing British view of [Brecht was] as an arid theorist of drama [. . .] and the author of a few baffling but conniving plays" (Introduction to The Faber Book of 20th Century German Poems). In fact, Hofmann thinks of Brecht as the writer who took "poetry into the twentieth century", its single most crucial figure. Against the claims of Eliot, Valery or Lorca this may seem a bold statement but Hofmann is thinking of poetry as "a living counter-force in socio-political reality [. . .] poetry of dissent and fear and protest and rebuke and pleasure", an art that is "heartening and inspiring". There is some risk of this drifting back towards BB the purveyor of proletarian political messages, but Hofmann's contrast of Brecht with "his great counter-pole" in German poetry, Gottfried Benn, a poet of more familiar "private griefs and musics, of monologue, of fascination", makes Brecht's distinctive contribution clearer.
In beginning to explore Brecht's poetry I've been looking at poems from 1925-1928 and, like plenty before me, I've become intrigued by 'Of Poor B.B.' (German original and Michael Hamburger's translation here; Hofman's translation read here). Apparently the poem derives from lines jotted down on a speeding express train at 9.30pm in April 1922, when Brecht was travelling home to Augsburg after spending a difficult first winter in Berlin. The impact of the Great War is still visible here but Brecht is also very interested in exploring the impact of big city life. 'A Reader for Those who Live in Cities' was the title of a projected group of poems from around 1926.
From the notes in Poems 1913-1956 it's possible to reconstruct Brecht's early draft which, compared to the final published version, demarcates town and countryside more simplictically: "I, Bertolt Brecht, came out of the black forests." Paradoxically, the use of his own initials in the title and the bold use of his full name in the opening line, actually distances the poem from the straightforwardly autobiographical. BB is a representative figure and his move from countryside to town (is this the Industrial Revolution?) was wholly passive, beyond his control, as he moved while still in his pregnant mother's body. In fact Brecht's mother had died before he began visiting Munich and Berlin and the poem claims that the "coldness" of the forests remains inside BB and will do so till his "dying day". Quatrains 3, 4 and half of 5 of this ballad-like ABCB poem-draft also characterize the cold, unrestful, uncomfortable woods, even to the extent that the pine trees "piss" with rain and the birds are "vermin".
The early draft's modernist anti-pastoral seems to be confirmed by the opening of the second quatrain: "In the asphalt city I'm at home" and quatrain 5 follows the noise of the bird-vermin in the trees with the seemingly-content city-dwelling BB: "At that hour in the city I drain my glass". But there is clearly trouble in the urban paradise. Quatrain 2 portrays BB at ease (with a dig at religion in describing newspapers, tobacco and brandy as 'sacraments') yet there is something unsettling in the three adjectives that follow: BB is mistrustful, lazy content. Having drained his glass and stubbed his cigar he "worriedly" goes to sleep. In quatrain 6 of the draft the reasons for this worry are clarified (one of the changes in the final version is to remove some of these more logical connections) as BB plays a guitar to an uncomprehending audience and has "difficulty understanding" himself as the city dwellers seem "different animals". Quatrain 7 wonders whether this is because he has been "carried off to paper and women" (which I take to mean the 'pleasures' of the city) from the black forests which still thrive "in me" along with the "roar of pines". So the early draft suggests BB's displacement to the city has not achieved an escape from the darkness and coldness of the black forests of his birth and he seems therefore ill-equipped to live truly contentedly in the modern city.
Brecht's revisions of the poem between 1924 and 1925 make it both more modern and more mysterious. Hofmann has described the result as "strange and pitiless". The most clear change is in the final version's quatrain 3 where BB makes efforts to fit into city life (being friendly, polite, wearing a hat), finding other inhabitants "animals with a quite peculiar smell" (I'm now quoting Michael Hamburger's rhymed translation). But then BB admits "does it matter? I am too". The draft's more 'easy' theme of the outsider is being dismissed. Two new stanzas follow in which BB seems ever-more at home in the city, with both its women and men. With the former he is "untroubled", boastfully suggesting he is "someone on whom you can't rely". With the men he heartily hails them, feet up on a table as they say "things will get better for us" but he knows not to "ask when". BB is now wholly complicit in the urban insincerities, the lies and pretence that make life bearable.
Michael Hamburger
So the changes show neither city nor the black forest offers any real contentment or fulfillment and it's this profound sense of alienation that Hofmann links to the Modernist pessimism of an Eliot: "nature and culture, friendship and love, are all travestied and diminished". This is why BB still falls asleep "worriedly". In the new stanzas (7, 8 and 9) this pessimism becomes positively apocalyptic as the poem becomes about a cultural moment, a whole culture. Quatrain 7 uses the first person plural significantly; we are "an easy generation" (Hamburger) or "a whimsical tribe" (Hofmann) living in great cities that we hubristically believe are "indestructible" (Brecht refers to Manhattan here, a place he had yet to visit in 1924). In reality, of our cities only the "wind" will survive and we are (in our hearts and as we fall asleep perhaps) dimly aware that "we're only tenants, provisional ones / And after us there will come: nothing worth talking about".
Had the poem ended here the comparison with Eliot's 1922 wasteland pessimism would be more apt but, in the apocalyptic "earthquakes to come", BB hopes to keep his Virginia cigar alight and whether we read this as a perky priapic image, a gesture of New World hope, or insouciant resilience to prevailing socio-political conditions, it's here that we find something heartening and inspiring, even if the tone is mostly pyrrhic. The concluding balladic repetition ("I, Bertolt Brecht, carried off to the asphalt cities") now reads like a more determined declaration of identity, a will to life, to a better world. This is despite the whole poem's extraordinarily thoroughgoing portrait of alienation and cultural decadence. There's life in poor BB yet.

Lucifer is a newest fantasy crime drama and comedy airing on the FOX channel. The original dark series was developed for the small screen by Tom Kapinos and debuted in January 2016 with the initial season including 13 episodes.
Lucifer is inspired by the Sandman comics and tells the somber story of Lucifer, the Lord of Hell. Exhausted by leading monotonous and dull life, he abandons his throne and goes to LA to enjoy his deserved retirement. At his own nightclub, Lucifer gets pleased by the things he loves most of all - women and wine – when a celebrity is abruptly murdered outside his club.
The debut chapter of the controversial story did very well in ratings, having averaged more than 7 million followers. However, as the series went on, the viewership counts have dropped significantly to 4.9 million. With the strong IMDb count of 8.5/10 and praising reviews from critics, the FOX channel is to give the renewal of the dark Satan dramedy for another season. To the delight of viewers, season 2 comes out on September 19, 2016. The charismatic and "sinfully attractive" detective will lead his human life…or not? The intrigue for the expected chapter is the personality of the Lord of Hell's mother, a question that will be picked up from the initial chapter finale and it is to be investigated, providing more depth to Lucifer's character.
God's blessing on this wonderful world!

The lives of four teenage friends in Los Angeles begin to unravel in this really good film that features a star-making performance for Jodie Foster and former Runaways singer Cherie Currie in her film debut.
Jeanie, Annie, Madge, and Deidre are four best friends in the San Fernando Valley. They spend their days trying to ditch school and their nights out on the town. Each of them have a different personality. Jeanie is the leader who tries to keep the group afloat. Annie is the most troublesome of the group, going down a slow spiral of addictions. Madge is the nerdy one with a bit of a secret involving a relationship with an older man. Deidre is the promiscuous one, jumping from boyfriend to boyfriend.
Things slowly begin to look bad for the group when Annie finds herself in constant risk of getting into trouble due to her addictions. The group can't even rely on their own parents to help them deal with their problems, especially Annie's overreactive police officer father. Things go from bad to worse when a house dinner at Madge's boyfriend's house turns into an all-out party that leads into a very dangerous brawl. Nevertheless, the group decides they must do what it takes to stick together before things take a turn for the worse.
This coming-of-age drama, directed by future Fatal Attraction helmer Adrian Lyne (making his feature film directorial debut), takes a look at teenage life in Los Angeles' San Fernando Valley and brings a sense of reality thanks in part to the performances of the four leads. After her breakout performances in films like Taxi Driver and Bugsy Malone, this is perhaps one of Jodie Foster's best performances in the role of Jeanie, the "leader" who may come from divorced parents, but is the glue that brings the group together. While Scott Baio's Brad gets second billing, his character comes off more as a confidant and reliable ally when needed.
Playing Jeanie's friends Annie, Madge, and Deidre are all newcomers to film. While Marilyn Kagan (as Madge) and Kandice Stroh (as Deidre) are mostly brand new, the most famous of the group of newcomers comes in the form of Cherie Currie, who got her start in 1975 as the lead singer for all-female rock band The Runaways, which featured music icons Joan Jett and Lita Ford. Currie's Annie is the most troubled of the bunch with most of the film's incidents revolve around her due to the character going on a very slow downward spiral thanks to drug addiction and attracting the wrong kind of people. What makes the film interesting is that the group has this natural chemistry that doesn't have any kind of forced performances. It makes the viewer feel for the group as they attempt to overcome the trials and tribulations of being a teenager.
Foxes is a really good coming-of-age film that brings a sense of reality rather than a happy-go-lucky style film. The chemistry between the four leads has this natural chemistry that makes the film as good today as it was in its initial release.
A PolyGram Pictures production. Director: Adrian Lyne. Producers: David Puttnam and Gerald Ayres. Writer: Gerald Ayres. Cinematography: Leon Bijou. Editing: James Coblentz.
Cast: Jodie Foster, Scott Baio, Cherie Currie, Marilyn Kagan, Kandice Stroh, Sally Kellerman, Randy Quaid, Lois Smith, Adam Faith, Robert Romanus, Laura Dern.


it took me over three long years to finally come up with the Hunza Music Blog. Partly I have been lazy and partly because I was trying to make things work the I wanted them to be. But the good part is, some of these things are now in place and I can now move forward with the idea that had once pushed me to start this very blog.
Three years ago when I had started, there was hardly any authentic music streaming websites that were dedicated to promote and display music from the Hunza region in Gilgit-Baltistan. Although websites like MyGilgit.com did exist for over a decade now, there hasn't been any proper effort in providing the users with the services they are always looking for. One problem with the internet is that if you have started with an idea today, four years from now it would be obsolete. The technological aspects change with such a pace, if you don't stay with the flow, you are outdated and eventually disappear from the scene.
Left to right: Myself, Damal player Saeed Alam, MMA star Ehtisham, folk singer Azeem Hunzai, MMA star Uloomi Karim, Hunza Classical Group founder and Dadang player Ghazi Karim, Aslam Shah, Sultan Ali and Nauman Ahmed Hunzai.
Back to the topic. Although FolkVirsa will provide us with crucial insights about user behavior, this blog will in no way be dependent of FolkVirsa. I am very much sure the statistics from FolkVirsa will help expand various topics and provide you with the kind of content you would like to see in the coming days.Fortunately, here are Centangle Interactive, we were able to start a music streaming website that would address most of the issues, if not all, that a common music listener faces. We call it FolkVirsa. Although the focus here is to promote all sorts of folk music from different countries, we will be having a dedicated section for music from Hunza. It would feature the music of artists from Hunza without any lingual restrictions. For now, we have Burushaski, Shina, Wakhi and even a few Domaki tracks in line to be published. We are hoping to formally sign more and more artists and populate the website with your favorite artists.

Lincoln rail passengers have been promised a better service and more trains with the re-privatisation of the East Coast franchise.
The route has been under the ownership of the Department for Transport since November 2009.
However, from March 1, the mainline is being jointly operated by Virgin and Stagecoach, under the name Virgin Trains East Coast.
East Coast services run from London to Edinburgh via Peterborough, Leeds, York, Newcastle, Berwick-upon-Tweed, continuing further north to Aberdeen and Inverness.
A Department for Transport spokesperson said: "The skills and experience that the private sector provides drives forward innovation and investment, and has helped to transform our rail network into a real success story.
"We are confident that the new East Coast franchise gives the best deal for passengers. It will provide more seats, more services, new trains and over £140m of investment along the route.
However, trade unions have criticised the move.
TUC General Secretary Frances O'Grady said: "It is disappointing to see East Coast in private hands after five years of public sector success. The government's decision to re-privatise the line, awarding the contract to Stagecoach and Virgin, is a costly mistake.
"The government has ignored the evidence, which shows that under public ownership East Coast returned increased profits, has record-high passenger satisfaction levels and has added £1bn to Treasury coffers.
Last month, the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) watchdog also warned that competition could be reduced on sections of the East Coast line on which Stagecoach already operates, including from Peterborough to Lincoln.
Customers and communities along the new Virgin Trains East Coast network will be able to bid for a share of a £3m innovation fund. The fund will be used for projects suggested directly by Virgin Trains East Coast customers and their communities.
The money is in addition to the £140m already committed to the franchise by the Stagecoach / Virgin partnership.
Rail Minister Claire Perry with the first train to carry the new Virgin Trains East Coast livery at London King's Cross station.
The scheme will see £500,000 available each year of the new franchise from 2017.
Virgin Trains East Coast will use the time before then to set up the customer feedback mechanisms and begin gathering ideas for the first set of awards.

Could it be people within the department that you simply often need to share information with? Could it be senior administration, two or even three amounts above a person? Is this your coach, from an part of the company which isn't much associated with yours? Are you aware where your own stakeholders tend to be?
Stakeholders would be the those who have a vested curiosity about the success of the career – since it helps their own career, simply because they happen to as if you, because that which you do can make their work easier.

Can the New Generation Match the Grand Tour Road Cycling Legends?
by Alicia | Sports
When it comes to professional cycling, no events attract more global attention than the prestigious trio of 'Grand Tour' road races. Held consistently each year, these stage races are the Giro d'Italia, Tour de France, and the Vuelta a España. For generations of riders, winning just one of these titles once is often considered the pinnacle of their careers, although a select few champions have managed to win all three.
Throughout the history of the Grand Tour races, only six riders have ever managed to win all three during their careers. Perhaps as an indication of just how challenging each of these races are, nobody has yet achieved the feat of winning all three events in one calendar year. Some have come agonisingly close, including the greatest Grand Tour cyclist of all time, Eddy Merckx of Belgium.
Between a relatively short span of time between 1968 and 1974, Merckx amassed an incredible victory haul of five Giros, five Tours, and one Vuelta. This exceptional record of 11 Grand Tour event wins has never been matched, although Bernard Hinault of France came close, achieving 10 Grand Tour titles between 1978 and 1985.
Only one currently active competitor has managed to win all three Grand Tour events, which is British rider Chris Froome. His achievements include winning four Tours, one Giro and two Vueltas. Nearing the end of a successful career, Froome is unlikely to ever match the benchmark set by Merckx, although he could still equal the record of five career Tour de France victories.
Currently, just four riders in history have achieved the feat of five career Tour wins. They were Jacques Anquetil, Eddy Merckx, Bernard Hinault, and Spanish great Miguel Indurain, who achieved five consecutive Tour triumphs between 1991 and 1995. Lance Armstrong won seven in a row, but his titles were all stripped. That said, the latest cycling betting odds are stacked against Froome equalling that record, given that he is priced at +2800 as an outsider to win the 2021 Tour de France.
Given their displays during the 2020 road racing season, Slovenian duo Primoz Roglic and Tadej Pogacar are the stellar names of the moment, tipped for continued success at the trio of Grand Tour events in 2021. Roglic has won back-to-back Vuelta titles in 2019 and 2020, along with finishing second behind his compatriot at the Tour, where Pogacar claimed his first-ever Grand Tour stage race triumph.
https://www.youtube.com/embed/z9xbL3B4zQM
Despite the age difference between 31-year-old Roglic and 22-year-old Pogacar, they form part of an exciting new generation of cyclists, ready to begin dominating at the Grand Tour events. Seemingly ready to follow the path set by Froome over the last decade, British cycling also has a new darling in the shape of Tao Geoghegan Hart, who won the 2020 Giro. The 22-year-old will certainly be one to watch over the next few years with Team Ineos.
Actually, Team Ineos are packed with talented riders and potential champions for the upcoming Grand Tour stage races, including the South American duo Richard Carapaz and Egan Bernal. In 2019, Carapaz won the Giro and Bernal won the Tour, setting out a clear indication they could be capable of many more titles.
As one living legend in the shape of Froome reaches the twilight of his career, the future of road racing is beginning to dawn for a host of talented new stars. Any one of them could set their sights on the Grand Tour benchmark and records established by Merckx almost fifty years ago. That said, given there are so many exceptional cyclists on the scene right now, the competition is arguably fiercer than ever before.

Q: How to headless dual-boot Linuxes? I'm home user of Centos 7. I've install Centos 8 additionaly. I will install Centos 9 over Centos 7 in the future. So I have and will have old copy and new os on the same hard disk.
[root@Prestigio vidas]# blkid
/dev/sda1: LABEL="SWAP" UUID="8d5cadcb-349e-44e0-9c04-dfc39cda9ffe" TYPE="swap"
/dev/sda2: LABEL="CENTOS 7" UUID="432333ab-9311-4cfd-aded-c3d50f4c79a8" TYPE="ext4"

/dev/sda4: LABEL="HOME" UUID="47356a98-6ab5-46a8-afa1-91c22ce880a6" TYPE="ext4"

I switch oses with repair disk.
chroot /mnt/sysimage
grub2-install /dev/sda

It is inconvient. Can I select os via putty and then reboot and how?

A: If you have a 2nd (non-headless) machine nearby, and an available serial port on each of your machines, and a null-modem (serial console) cable, you can tell grub (and optionally the kernel) to output to serial console. And then use your 2nd machine to select which OS you want to boot from the grub menu. Even though it's not specifically for CentOS, the Arch Wiki has a good page on serial console: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/working_with_the_serial_console
Otherwise, you can configure grub to store your OS choice to grubenv, and then retrieve it from grubenv on your next boot. This question has some tips for doing this for different distros:
How can I tell GRUB I want to reboot into Windows—before I reboot?
The link @doneal24 just posted is also a good one.

We are conducting a trial of a 30km/h area-wide speed limit in the northern areas of Fitzroy and Collingwood.
The trial period is late September 2018 until late September 2019. The trial area is the neighbourhood streets bounded by Alexandra Parade, Johnston Street, Hoddle Street and Nicholson Street (excluding Brunswick Street and Smith street).
We're committed to reducing speeds in our streets, because we know it creates livelier, safer, healthier streets we can all enjoy, whether we're walking, driving or riding.
The trial is about testing a new approach to achieving safer speeds in our community. If it works here, it can be applied to other areas in Melbourne, Victoria and Australia.
We believe we can encourage people to travel at safer speeds through community understanding, acknowledgement and action. That we, together, can assess the evidence, see the value, and achieve real change.
The alternative? A traditional model of forcing change through infrastructure like speed bumps. That costs money – a significant amount of your money – and we believe that can be avoided. This means reaching many more communities for the equivalent cost of engineered solutions.
In 2017, when we asked residents what they thought about 30km/h speed limits, opinions were divided.
A little more than half of the people surveyed opposed 30km/h. They were concerned it will be too slow, that it was unnecessary and wouldn't improve safety, and that it was revenue-raising for the Council.
Those who supported 30km/h said they believed the change would improve safety, be great for the community, reduce traffic and be good for kids.
Elsewhere in the world, community support for 30km/h limits has always increased after implementation.
We heard these views and acknowledge the concerns. We have worked to respond to questions and issues raised, and will continue to do so. Check out our 30km/h myths and trial FAQs to see.
30km/h is about improving safety and amenity for pedestrians and cyclists, who are over-represented in our crash statistics. Ninety per cent of crash incidents in the trial area involved pedestrians, cyclists or motorbike riders, and this trend is reflected across Yarra.
We understand people have questions about the trial – about why we're doing it, how it will be evaluated, and why we need a trial at all. Take a look at our responses to some of the community's frequently asked questions.
Where is the trial taking place?
The trial area is the neighbourhood streets bounded by Alexandra Parade, Johnston Street, Hoddle Street and Nicholson Street (excluding Brunswick Street and Smith Street).
How much will the trial cost, and who is funding it?
The trial will cost $261,500.
Council has contributed $25,000 and the remaining amount is being funded by the Transport Accident Commission (TAC).
This funding is being used to undertake the trial evaluation and engagement with the community. The evaluation will provide valuable information on the effectiveness of the trial, and assist in decision-making about 30km/h speed limits in Yarra and elsewhere.
We are not implementing this trial lightly. It's an investment we're proud of.
If we can lessen serious crashes and in doing so make people feel safer, promote activity and foster a neighbourhood where people are enjoying our streets – we think it's worth the investment.
Why has this area been chosen? Is there a particular speeding problem or safety issue there?
We have to start somewhere. The trial area has some areas where drivers are already travelling at lower speeds and others where they are not. The area also has a variety of residential and other uses and a variety of different road users, so it makes a good test case.
Since 2012, there have been more than 100 crashes in the trial area, resulting in more than 30 serious injuries – ninety percent of these crashes involved pedestrians, cyclists and motorcycle riders. There's some improvement to be made here.
Was the community consulted about this change?
We conducted research about attitudes to 30km/h speed limits in May 2017, and we received input from many people in the local and broader communities. Most people had an opinion, either for or against.
We know this is a bold idea that not everyone agrees with. But this isn't a project we have decided to do on a whim – it's taken a lot of research, planning and thought. We know the evidence is there, and that other communities support it, so we think it is worth testing.
We always welcome feedback and you can leave comments or questions on our Get Involved page, or you can join the conversation on Facebook.
If all the research is showing us that 30km/h is the safer speed, why don't we just implement it now? Why do we need a trial?
It's true that extensive research shows us that 30km/h will be good for the community. The trial is about testing a new way of implementing a new speed limit – through community acknowledgement and commitment, rather than costly infrastructure. Plus, this hasn't been done in Australia before, and we need to test the water.
If it's successful, the trial will demonstrate a more cost-effective way for communities to make their streets safer and more welcoming.
Will the speed limit be enforced?
The speed limit can be enforced just like speed limits everywhere, and Victoria Police will enforce as they see necessary. Whether or not it is enforced will depend on drivers' compliance with the new limit.
However, this trial isn't about enforcement. The police can't be everywhere at once to make sure everyone is following the rules and doing the right thing. Instead, we want to work with the community to create streets we can all use and enjoy, rather than speed through.
Isn't this just a revenue raising exercise for the Council?
Yarra City Council does not receive money from speeding fines.
And the priority with this trial is not to issue fines. Instead we want to bring about change by communicating the safety and social benefits of travelling at lower speeds to the community.
Council is committed to projects that increase the safety and liveability of our community. We're doing this trial because it's an innovative, Australian-first way to achieve just that.
What's next, banning cars altogether?
Neither the Council, nor the trial, is against cars on our streets. Rather, we're pro people being able to go about their lives in our public spaces safely, however they choose to travel.
At Yarra, we promote walking, cycling and using public transport, as sustainable modes of transport, but this trial isn't about discouraging people from driving it's about making the streets safer for everyone.
We don't know yet – it depends on what we find along the way.
The data we collect, and the feedback we gather will help to inform decisions about what will happen next.
How will I know when I'm on a 30km/h street?
The 30 km/h area is signed just like every other local area, with 30 AREA signs. You will also see 'Thanks for 30' signs in the trial area as an extra prompt.

Untangle Inc. announced the results of their inaugural "Voice of the Channel" survey. The survey found that channel partners are moving towards adding more diverse and comprehensive security solutions to their portfolios, often as a way to address the ever-evolving threat landscape and provide a layered approach to cybersecurity. However, limited solutions knowledge and budget constraints are top barriers the channel faces in deploying cybersecurity solutions to small-to-medium businesses (SMBs).
Channel partners play a key role in providing network security solutions to SMBs with limited resources and budget. With cyberattacks expected to continue to increase in 2019, the channel must stay ahead of emerging threats by providing effective network security solutions that are affordable and easy to manage. Based on their experience in 2018, surveyed channel partners believe that the top threats of 2019 will be ransomware, data breaches, phishing and security exploits.
"Channel partners are essential in getting proper security solutions into the hands of SMBs, so it's crucial that we understand their customers and barriers to adoption," said Scott Devens, chief executive officer at Untangle. "As we expected, cost and a lack of manpower are key pain points when it comes to security for both SMBs and channel partners. However, we were surprised to learn that more and more customers are becoming savvy to phishing attacks, with 43 percent of channel customers reporting attacks before a breach occurred."
More than 62% of channel partners surveyed identify budget constraints as a top barrier in cybersecurity, followed closely by limited solutions knowledge (56%) and lack of manpower (38%).
Over 57% of channel partners agree or strongly agree that moving their data and network traffic to the cloud will provide better security. However, price (35%), lack of trust (31%) and lack of knowledge (27%) are the top barriers the channel experiences when their clients begin or consider adopting cloud security solutions.
Channel partners that stated their customers were victims of cyberattacks revealed that malware/virus (83.49%), phishing (77.06%), and ransomware (75.23%) were the top types of attacks.
43% of clients reported phishing attacks before a breach occurred, indicating that clients are becoming better at identifying cyberattacks and taking proactive steps to educate employees and report attempts before they can cause damage.
99% of channel partners indicated that cybersecurity as an overall part of their business will increase or stay the same in 2019, while 80% believe that their cybersecurity revenue will increase in 2019.
When asked about the largest threats channel partners expect to encounter in 2019, ransomware (80%), data breaches (55%), phishing (52%) and security exploits (51%) were the top ranked choices.
"Channel partners and SMBs continue to move slowly into cloud-based security deployments and a lack of skilled IT-security professionals, along with budget constraints, continue to be substantial barriers to providing adequate security measures. However, they don't have to be," continued Devens. "When considering vendors to partner with, researching and testing out solutions is key to finding the right one for your business."
