WASHINGTON — Media mogul Rupert Murdoch, a man with his own immigration story, told Congress Thursday that securing the U.S. borders must be matched with efforts to ensure that employers can't hire people who are here illegally.
Murdoch and New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg testified before a House immigration subcommittee that last week featured comedian Stephen Colbert, who gave tongue-in-cheek testimony on the plight of farmworkers.
The two high-profile witnesses who came to Capitol Hill Thursday couldn't pack the hearing room, however, as Colbert did in his appearance last week.
Murdoch and Bloomberg have formed a coalition of businesses and mayors to push for immigration reform. The group supports providing a path to legal status for those in the country illegally. Murdoch was born in Australia and became a U.S. citizen in 1985.
"As an immigrant, I chose to live in America because it is one of the freest and most vibrant nations in the world. And as an immigrant, I feel an obligation to speak up for immigration policies that will keep America the most economically robust, creative and freedom-loving nation in the world," he said.
The Obama administration has made cracking down on employers a centerpiece of its immigration policies.
The illegal immigrant population has tripled, even as the government has increased enforcement spending almost every year since 1992, said Murdoch. He said the wave of immigrtants started to crest only when the country hit a recession.
Fox News is not anti-immigrant, Murdoch said.


A few kilometres away another group wrapped in thick winter jackets, body armour and helmets fired anti-tank missiles, throwing up sprays of ice and snow behind them as instructors watched the orange rockets streak down the range. It was routine training for the young recruits based on the Baltic island of Gotland, but these troops are at the forefront of Sweden's efforts to bolster its military as Stockholm worries about Russian intentions in Europe and the Baltic.
Following the annexation of Crimea, the conflict in Ukraine, incidents of Russian military jets approaching Swedish aircraft around the Baltic and the 2014 sighting of a mystery sub – suspected to be Russian, which Moscow denied – near Stockholm, Sweden has scrambled to beef up a military that was cut back after the end of the Cold War. The Nordic nation, which has not been to war in two centuries, reintroduced limited conscription in 2017, stepped up defence spending and placed a garrison on Gotland in January 2018.
Taking a break from the target practice by a campfire on the icy ground near the firing ranges, Ida Delin, a young lance-corporal from Gothenburg who is a part of the new garrison, was upbeat about her posting to the island.
"Everybody feels it's very important, what we're doing really matters for Sweden," she said, the collar of her camouflage smock pulled up around her ears to protect against the cold.
Gotland's location in the Baltic means it has a high strategic value, giving its owner the ability to dominate nearby air and seaways, Defence Minister Peter Hultqvist said. But regional developments, from Russia's 2008 conflict with Georgia to the 2014 annexation of Crimea and the conflict in eastern Ukraine, prompted a rethink in Sweden.
"I don't talk about the threat directly to Sweden, I talk about a security situation that is worse today than ten years ago," Hultqvist told AFP. "Because of that we have upgraded our national military capability."
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has long denounced the "myth of a Russian threat" in Europe and accused Western powers of destabilizing the continent.
Down the road from the firing ranges, the regiment paraded under a leaden sky to mark the anniversary of the creation of the first unit on the island in 1811, presided over by the unit's mascot – a ram named Harald V– and its commander, Colonel Mattias Ardin, a powerfully built native of the island tasked with rebuilding the garrison.
The 50-year-old started his military career at the garrison in the twilight years of the Cold War, when non-aligned Sweden eyed the USSR warily – its navy chased suspected Soviet submarines from its waters and it maintained a conscript army to watch its borders.
Following the fall of the Soviet Union, Sweden cut defence spending, doing away with its regiment on Gotland in 2005 and selling its barracks. But with the conflict in Ukraine and rising tensions between Moscow and the European Union, Sweden's parliament voted to return troops to the island again in 2016.
"We have a strong Russia that has a lot more military activity than before and we see what is happening in Ukraine, so we see a deteriorating security situation," Ardin said after the ceremony.
Nearby, bulldozers and diggers worked on new facilities for the 282 full-time soldiers that make up the garrison and that will shelter the several dozen tanks and armoured vehicles based there.

Almost six months on from the maiden race outing for the all-new Honda Civic Type R (FK8), the Halfords Yuasa Racing team returns to the scene of the car's debut at Brands Hatch for the final round of the 2018 Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship.
Marking a new era for Honda in the BTCC, the latest generation Civic Type R has represented an entirely new challenge for the hugely experienced Team Dynamics-run squad in its design and development. Nevertheless, in the hands of Matt Neal and new signing Dan Cammish, Honda has accumulated an impressive haul of two wins, two pole positions and nine podiums this season to establish a fine foundation for the future.
In the meantime, Honda heads into the 2018 finale with its sights set firmly on bolstering that tally as it looks to consolidate its championship positions. As has become tradition, the immensely popular Brands Hatch circuit in Kent sets the stage for the 2018 BTCC finale with a blast around the longer, high-speed Grand Prix configuration.
With Cammish moving into an unassailable lead in the Jack Sears Trophy at Silverstone – a crowning moment he is set to to savour fully at Brands Hatch – he together with Neal turn their full attentions to securing the best possible finish in the overall drivers' standings.
As it stands, Neal and Cammish start the final weekend ninth and 11th respectively and well placed to make up positions such are the small margins in the top ten, with Honda second in the manufacturers' championship and Halfords Yuasa Racing third in the teams' reckoning.

Real Madrid have already approached Borussia Dortmund about signing Erling Haaland
By Kat Lucas
Borussia Dortmund's surprise capture of Erling Haaland has been one of the best signings in recent memory.
The 19-year-old has scored 11 goals in his first eight games for his new club since leaving RB Salzburg.
With the Norwegian already being tipped as a future Ballon d'Or winner, BVB have secured all that for just £18 million.
A great bit of business by them, but an even shrewder masterclass by pantomime villain Mino Raiola.
The super-agent made sure a £63m release clause was inserted in his contract to ensure Haaland would not be out of reach if an even bigger fish of European football came along.

Ranking every Europa League away kit for the last-32
Manchester United are now out of the reckoning, largely due to their dispute with Raiola but also because they may well miss out on the top four next season.
For a teenager who has the Champions League anthem as his alarm clock sound, that's simply not an option.
However, Real Madrid cannot be ruled out as a destination and in fact, the youngster's next big move might be happening even sooner than we all thought.
According to Marca, Los Blancos have already made an approach and have held talks about taking him to the Bernabeu as early as the summer.
That's despite his release clause only becoming active in 2021, so they may have to tempt Dortmund with a financial offer they can't refuse.
Zinedine Zidane's desire to bring in a new striker has only been fuelled by his side's 2-1 defeat to Manchester City last night, which leaves their hopes of progressing to the quarter-finals hanging in the balance.
That's supposedly why this information has come out today, in an apparent boost to Madrid morale.
GIVEMESPORT'S Kat Lucas:
Real Madrid would be foolish *not* to be looking at Haaland. We are talking about a generational talent who could yet surpass Kylian Mbappe in years to come.
However, it also begs the question of whether Madrid would be the right move. His transfer to Dortmund was welcome because the Bundesliga, and Dortmund in particular, is the place to be for developing youngsters right now.
The pressure of the famous white shirt can be too much for even the most precocious teenagers, as we've seen with Vinicius Junior and others before him.
It seems inevitable that Haaland won't be at the Westfalenstadion for the long haul but it would be great to see him thrive there for a couple of seasons at least. Unfortunately, with Raiola's fingers already poised on his purse strings that seems unlikely.

Myra Brandish is a supporting character on the Adult Swim show The Venture Bros. First appearing in the late season 2 episode I Know Why the Caged Bird Kills, she is revealed as Dr. Venture's former bodyguard and the possible mother of the titular Venture brothers, Hank and Dean.
Myra has a pathological obsession with Rusty Venture, as well as her "children" Hank and Dean Venture. She is willing to kill anyone who might get in the way of reuniting her "family", particularly Brock Samson and Dr. Byron Orpheus. Because of this obsession, Myra is clinically insane. It turns out Thaddeus used her vulnerability to manipulate her into thinking she was the boys' real mother.
Myra is a leather-clad, buxom, physically fit woman in her 40s or 50s, though years of longing after Doctor Venture and the stress of being forcibly separated from her alleged children have left her with a haggard look. She is prone to muttering insanely to herself, and dotes/obsesses on the Venture brothers when they're in her possession to the point of trying to breast feed her teenage sons.
Her face is similar to that of the younger Mia Farrow, who raised ten adopted children in addition to the four born of her, and at least at one point, deserved or not, had a reputation for being unhinged in attempting to keep them close and micro-manage their lives.
According to her retelling of her past to Dean and Hank, Myra was once an agent of the Office of Secret Intelligence (O.S.I.). Her first assignment straight out of the academy was to serve as Dr. Thaddeus "Rusty" Venture's bodyguard, to protect him from his various enemies and those who would seek to steal his inventions. During this time, Myra fought The Monarch and Middle Eastern terrorists in her job as bodyguard. As time passed, Myra found herself falling in love with Rusty, culminating in a "night of passion" in Venture's car. According to Myra's version of events, the sexual encounter left Myra pregnant and nine months later she gave birth to twin boys, Hank and Dean. Though Brock and Doc tell the boys that this story is a lie, several flashbacks early in season three corroborate large portions of her story, in particular, the fact that she was employed by O.S.I. as Rusty's bodyguard.
After giving birth, Rusty and Myra's relationship went downhill as Myra's obsession with her lover caused Rusty to leave his family compound to get away from Myra. The situation between the two would ultimately collapse, with Myra ultimately being tasered unconscious by an O.S.I. agent after beating up a security detail of fellow O.S.I. agents at Rusty's compound. Myra would later claim that Rusty used his political contacts to terminate Myra's parental rights to the twins and had her institutionalized, as Rusty "wanted the boys all to himself". The shock of Rusty's ultimate rejection of her and the separation of Myra from her children caused her to have a complete and utter nervous breakdown and become clinically insane.
What followed next is unknown; in the version of Myra's backstory that Rusty and Brock Samson tell Hank and Dean, in order to try and discredit Myra's version of events, Myra is recast as a mentally unstable American Gladiator, known on the show as "PowerKat".[1][2] According to Venture and Samson, when the show was canceled, Myra drifted in and out of insane asylums as she began stalking Doctor Venture, with her modus operandi varying depending on her medication.
However, in an aside to his children when an Oni lured Rusty to the same motel where Hank and Dean were being held prisoner, Rusty sarcastically asked Myra if she told the boys about how she burnt down the Venture Compound several years earlier (an event Brock refers to when he's telling the boys the fictionalized version of Myra's backstory).
Regardless of this, Myra was shown running a motel outside of town in I Know Why the Caged Bird Kills where she lived with many cats, which she refers to as her children—Hank and Dean's "brothers and sisters".
Myra acts like something of a cross between Annie Wilkes, the deranged middle-aged serial killer in the Stephen King novel, Misery and Catwoman from Batman Returns. Like Annie Wilkes, she is clinically insane, has a penchant for kidnapping people, and doesn't use normal curse words but instead often segues into childish babble-words like "ookey" instead of "disgusting". Her costume resembles the 1970s black vinyl costume worn by the Marvel Comics super-heroine Black Widow.
Hank and Dean's real mother?
Young Myra Brandish piloting the X-1.
After the closing credits run, a post-credits scene depicts Dr. Killinger (offscreen) whistling and calling the oni to him. The trunk of Dr. Venture's car opens, and the oni flies up into the air to rendezvous with a hovering Killinger. The oni seems to moan disconsolately. Killinger says that the oni failed to reunite Brandish and Venture, but that it did manage to save the boys. Killinger concludes by saying: "Compromise, my friend, is the essence of diplomacy, and diplomacy is the cornerstone of love." Killinger then flies off, sighing in a singsong voice, "Sweeeet love..."
It was not confirmed in that episode if Myra is the genetic mother of Hank and Dean, or just an insane woman who convinced herself she is. In the DVD commentary for her debut episode, I Know Why the Caged Bird Kills, the writers state that in early drafts of the episode the "boys' mother" subplot hadn't been developed yet and they "didn't know who Myra was", and that even after the episode was finished, they still weren't sure. At the end of season 2, when the writers were recording the DVD commentary, they stated that they still weren't sure if Myra would turn out to indeed be the boys' real mother, or if they would develop a convoluted explanation for how she really isn't, and that at the moment there was an equal chance of each. However, there are several hints and clues that indicate that she might be.
Dr. Venture admitted that he once had sex with Myra, but did not confirm if this resulted in Hank and Dean's conception. Also, it is possible that Dr. Venture was just lying (or volunteering a half-truth) to get Hank and Dean to stop asking questions after Brock almost told them they are clones. It is possible that she could have been Dr. Venture's bodyguard, had the boys, then broke up with Dr. Venture and either previously or subsequently was an American Gladiator, before finally going insane. The episode Shadowman 9: In the Cradle of Destiny confirms that Myra was Venture's bodyguard, with The Monarch having memory of her beating him up during an "assault" on the Venture Compound.
Myra is also aware that Hank and Dean are supposed to be 19 years old. However, because so much time has been spent cloning them back to life time and again, they are biologically only 16 years old and the twins believe that to be their real age (although Hank notices in Hate Floats that there is a discrepancy between the birthdate on his ID card and his stated age). Thus only a handful of people would know that the boys were "born" 19 years ago, a further clue that Myra may be their mother. Hank and Dean have no memory of Myra: possibly Dr. Venture removed whatever memories of her they might have had when re-cloning them or perhaps the Venture brothers were simply too young to remember her.
Other evidence which would seem to suggest that Myra really is Hank and Dean's mother is that she actually looks and acts like them to a degree: Dean has rust colored hair, but Hank has blonde hair, like Myra. Hank and Dean also have slightly upturned noses, like Myra (which neither Dr. Venture nor the boys' grandfather had). Indeed, in flashbacks showing a younger Myra 20 years ago, she basically looks like an adult female version of Hank. As Dean seems to take after his father Dr. Venture (dark hair, greater aptitude for science than any sports, more "sane"), it would seem that Hank takes after Myra's attributes of blonde hair and a greater physical aptitude as well as being less grounded in reality. Also, when Dean drives a car, he chants, "10 and 2, 10 and 2," nervously to himself; Myra does the same thing when she drives, as does Hank when he is made to drive by Dr. Girlfriend. There is also the fact that the car seen in the flashback between Myra and Dr. Venture was the same vehicle Hank and Dean were learning to drive in, this is also accented by the fact that the Oni sent by Dr. Killinger to "reunite them" lured Dr. Venture and Orpheus to the same car and then later to the motel where Myra was keeping the boys. However, while he spoke of reuniting "them," Hank and Dean were referred to as "his boys," not "theirs" as would be fitting if she was their mother.
As stated in Past Tense and Powerless in the Face of Death Dr. Venture lost his virginity when he was 24[3][4] and he takes a dismal view of the affair. Given Myra's claims that the boys are actually 19 and that Venture was 44 in Twenty Years to Midnight,[5] the timing may fit. The Invisible Hand of Fate strongly implies (yet still never definitively reveals) that Myra is Hank and Dean's mother since she goes crazy trying to apparently take the infant Hank and Dean from Dr. Venture as well as demanding to be with Dr. Venture at all times.
Later in Dr. Quymn, Medicine Woman when Dr. Venture is about to presumably have sex with Dr. Quymn. Dr. Quymn states "Rusty you have no idea how long it's been." To which Venture responds, "19 years, 2 months and four days."
Finally in Momma's Boys, Dr Venture makes a "death confession" to Sergeant Hatred telling him that he convinced Myra (assumed it's Myra by context, but he never says the name "Myra" in the episode) she was the boys' mother and "messed her up pretty bad". This happens just after the scene where Hank comes to believe that Myra was lying about being his mother because Myra (who is attempting a birthing ceremony on Dean) states she never carried the boys in her womb. Later, Thaddeus confirms this to the boys as he wanted Myra to give them free daycare and that he wanted to continue having sex with her.
Since the truth has been revealed, we see Myra is not really their biological mother, but just a clinically insane madwoman who was manipulated in a vulnerable state.
Several references have been made to the boys having an actual mother, as opposed to just being clones to begin with:
In Careers in Science, Dr. Venture says that he created the boys in a moment of passion.[6]
In Mid-Life Chrysalis, the boys directly asked Dr. Venture about their mother. He realizes that he's never really told them about their mother, and begins to tell them about her, but is cut off before he could go into more detail.[7]
Also, in Eeney, Meeney, Miney... Magic!, the image of Dr. Venture makes a reference to their mother while Hank is in the fantasy world of Dr. Venture's "joy can", with Hank hearing her voice off screen. However, this was the idealized fantasy world of Hank's in which he had a mother (with Dean's absence implied), and likely had no basis in real events at all.[8]
In Powerless in the Face of Death, Dr. Venture implies that the boys' mother was ugly. When he mentions losing his virginity at 24, Dr. Orpheus says "That is awful!" (Referring to his continued cloning of the boys). Dr. Venture scoffs, and replies "You didn't even see her, it was horrific."[4] This could, however, simply be a spiteful comment due to bitterness over the ultimate course of the relationship. Despite this, Dr. Venture appeared sad when he was getting ready to describe the boys' mother in Mid-Life Chrysalis. But this could be referring to her insanity, as he was obviously afraid of her in The Invisible Hand of Fate.[7]
In Perchance to Dean, a flashback shows Dr. Venture introducing a quietly outraged Brock to the cloning labs, where the clones are all babies, the brothers themselves being infants at the time. Referring to a misshapen clone, Venture comments, "Is that a face only a mother could love or what? Good thing she's not here then, eh?", a comment that would seem to indicate the brothers had a biological mother and did not originate as clones; additionally, Myra's obsession with protecting the children would mean that she would probably be against an attempted abortion of the failed clone, which Venture immediately carries out after making his comment.
In Assisted Suicide, Myra is shown in the harem of women Rusty could have "sealed the deal" with if only he put in the effort. If he indeed slept with her like he says, it is unknown why she is in there. However this was the older version of Myra, indicating that Dr. Venture may have wished to continue (or at least, repeat) his prior relationship with her; meanwhile if he did not have sex with her, then the younger version of Myra would be present.
In A Very Venture Halloween, Ben the geneticist, who helped clone the boys, tells Dean that he was conceived when Rusty got drunk with their mother and forgot to wear a condom during sex.
Myra is likely based on Jackie Shorr from Captain Marvel (Marvel, not DC) comics. In the comics, Rick Jones is visited by his self-proclaimed and insane mother who proceeds to murder Rick's girlfriend Marlo Chandler.
Judging by how she referred to her cats as Hank and Dean's "brothers and sisters", going on about how they were hungry and attempted to nurse the boys with her milk, it is likely that she breastfeeds her own cats, which can further emphasize her insanity.

'Our intention was never to single out the poppy': Whole Foods changes Remembrance Day poppy policy after Doug Ford backlash
November 6, 2020, 4:18 p.m. ·4 min read
American supermarket chain Whole Foods faced backlash earlier this morning after prohibiting Canadian employees from wearing poppies at work.
The move particularly caught Ontario Premier Doug Ford's attention, who called it "absolutely disgusting and disgraceful."
"Something really disturbing happened today, and it's regarding Whole Foods' policy to ban employees from wearing poppies," said Ford at his presser on Friday. "It's disrespectful when it comes to honouring our heroes, our veterans."
Days before Remembrance Day when Canadians wear the poppy to honour those who gave their lives to battle in the war, an employee at Whole Foods in Ottawa confirmed to CBC that her supervisor said wearing a poppy would be seen as "supporting a cause".
This was the first year where the employee was asked not to wear a poppy at work.
Whole Foods provided a statement to Yahoo News Canada below now changing their policy to allow employees to wear a poppy.
"Our new unified dress code policy is intended to create consistency and ensure operational safety across all of our stores. Our intention was never to single out the poppy or to suggest a lack of support for Remembrance Day and the heroes who have bravely served their country," said Whole Foods Market spokesperson.
"We appreciate the thoughtful feedback we have received from our customers. Given the learnings of today, we are welcoming Team Members to wear the poppy pin in honour of Remembrance Day. As was previously planned, we will also be observing a moment of silence on November 11, as well as making a monetary donation to the Legion Poppy Fund."
The uniform consists of a standard Whole Foods apron, coat, or vest depending on the department and team they are on, Whole Foods hat, and a name badge.
The dress code did not previously allow addition to the apparel, with some legal exception, added the spokesperson.
The Whole Foods spokesperson also confirmed that all team members must comply with the dress policy to ensure clear, easy to follow expectations while focusing on operational safety and customer service.
After learning the news, Ford announced he will introduce a new legislation to stop employers from banning employees wearing poppies.
"Whoever at Whole Foods made this decision isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer. But as sharp as a butter knife," said Ford.
"I never, ever want to see any company in Ontario ever do this again. The poppy, is an endearing symbol of a sacrifice and appreciation for our veterans, and we will always, always respect and stand up for our heroes."
Whole Foods says they are open to feedback from employees and respects the views of all team members.
Here is how Canadian politicians and leaders reacted to the news:
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Bomb-carrying drones targeted an Iranian defense factory in the central city of Isfahan overnight, authorities said early Sunday, causing some damage at the plant amid heightened regional and international tensions engulfing the Islamic Republic. The Iranian Defense Ministry offered no information on who it suspected carried out the attack, which came as a refinery fire separately broke out in the country's northwest and a 5.9-magnitude earthquake struck nearby

Bill for MUN forum at Fogo Island Inn concerning, but 'cost of doing business,' says organizer
One of the organizers of a Memorial University conference held at a luxury hotel says the event was costly, but it wasn't as pricey as it appeared and contributed to a valuable university partnership. In November 2021, MUN's president chaired a four-day Arctic Forum at the Fogo Island Inn, with costs totalling more than $100,000. A university spokesperson said $56,657 of that cost came from university coffers, while federal sources covered $24,453 and the rest came from attendees. It was the thi

2 Friction $100 This is the direction in which friction affects an object.
3 What is the opposite direction?
4 Friction $200 These are the three types of friction.
5 What are sliding friction, rolling friction and fluid friction?
6 Friction $300 This is a type of fluid friction that is exerted on objects falling through the air.
7 What is air resistance?
8 Friction $400 These are the two factors that affect the magnitude of friction.
9 What are the types of surfaces and how hard they push together?
10 Friction $500 Make up a scenario in which the amount of friction on an object is reduced.
11 Examples include adding oil (ie. To a an engine), adding wheels (ie. Wheels on your shoes), polishing a surface, reducing the amount of contact between two objects.
12 Gravity $100 You would weigh less in this location than in Galveston due to the earth's gravitation pull. HINT: multiple answers are acceptable
13 Multiple Questions acceptable
14 Gravity $200 This occurs when the only force acting on an object is gravity.
15 What is free fall?
16 Gravity $300 The larger the object, the ______ its gravitational pull. HINT: The earth vs. people
17 What is larger?
18 Gravity $400 This law states that the force of gravity acts between all objects in the universe.
19 What is the law of Universal Gravitation?
20 Gravity $500 This is the force of gravity on a person or object at the surface of a planet.
21 What is weight?
22 Newton's Laws $100 This is the formula for force, as stated in Newton's Second Law.
23 What is Force = Mass x Acceleration?
24 Newton's Laws $200 This law states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
25 What is Newton's Third Law?
26 Newton's Laws $300 This is another name for Newton's First Law, which states that an object at rest remains at rest and an object in motion remains in motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
27 What is the law of inertia?
28 Newton's Laws $400 If two people on skateboards push against each other, which person will accelerate faster?
29 Who is the person with less mass?
30 Newton's Laws $500 These are the two ways that acceleration can be increased.
31 What are increasing the force or decreasing the mass of the object?
32 Momentum $100 The larger the mass the _________ the momentum.
33 What is greater?
34 Momentum $200 In the following example, this object has more momentum: a 90 lb. person moving at 1 m/s or a 90 lb. dog moving at 2 m/s.
35 What is the 90 lb. dog?
36 Momentum $300 This is the formula for momentum.
37 What is momentum = mass x velocity (p = mv)?
38 Momentum $400 If there is no friction, this is the change in the total momentum of the system when two object collide.
39 What is no change?
40 Momentum $500 This is the momentum of a 5 kg bowling ball moving at 10 m/s. (HINT: Remember the formula for momentum)
41 What is 50 kg*m/s? Solution: Momentum = mass x velocity Mass = 5 kg Velocity= 10 m/s Momentum = 5 kg x 10 m/s Momentum = 50 kg*m/s
42 Forces $100 This is a push or a pull.
43 What is a force?
44 Forces $200 These are forces that are opposite in direction and equal in size.
45 What are balanced forces?
46 Forces $300 This is the force that a surface exerts on another when rubbing against each other.
47 What is friction?
48 Forces $400 This is how you would find the net force acting on the car below.
49 What is add the forces together?
50 Forces $500 This is the direction that the object below will move.

At the , P.A., we have more than three decades of experience and work hard to provide our clients with a sense of support and calmness throughout the divorce process. Many people might tell you "everything will be okay," even though it doesn't feel like it at the present moment. Our law firm works hard to provide all the help and resources needed so our clients really feel like things will be okay.
One of your main concerns coming into the divorce may be your business or practice. Whether you are an entrepreneur, a lawyer or an architect, it may be important for you to understand how divorce can impact your financial future.

Man Utd icon Rio Ferdinand brands Jude Bellingham 'real deal' while Hargreaves says Dortmund ace MUST start for England
RIO FERDINAND branded Jude Bellingham the 'real deal' after his scintillating performance against Manchester City.
And Owen Hargreaves believes the Borussia Dortmund ace must start for England at the Euros.
Bellingham, still just 17, was one of the stars of the show at the Etihad despite the German side losing 2-1 on the night.
And BT Sport pundits lauded the two-cap senior Three Lions international – especially for his tender age.
Ferdinand tweeted: "Bellingham aka the real deal… has put on a clinic….a teenager! Driving licence still not through yet I think."
Speaking before kick-off, Hargreaves said: "I think Bellingham will start for Gareth [Southgate] at the Euros.
"His all-around game is so good, he plays like a grown man. He's already a star and he's going to be one of the best in a short time."
He added after full-time: "Bellingham has got the lot, he's special. He gives you a bit more power in the midfield.
"Mason Mount's going to start. If you play Declan and Bellingham just in front… Gareth has unbelievable options.
"But Bellingham is playing in a Champions League game like this. I don't care if he's 17, he's playing up to the level.

"He's so mature, he's so good in every phase of the game. He plays because everybody trusts him.
"I thought he was one of the best players on the pitch, from both teams.
"I can't get over how good he is, in and out of possession. Real credit to him."
Bellingham joined Borussia Dortmund in a £30million transfer from boyhood club Birmingham City last summer and has one goal and four assists this term.
At 17 years and 281 days, the midfielder became the second-youngest starter in a Champions League quarter-final – only behind Barcelona's Bojan in 2008.
He played a key role with the pre-assist for Marco Reus' Dortmund equaliser and was cruelly denied a goal for himself despite seemingly pinching the ball fairly from Ederson.
Analysing the crucial away goal, Hargreaves continued: "Just watch this from a 17-year-old, Jude Bellingham, that's crazy. Composure, calmness."
Joleon Lescott was covering the game alongside Hargreaves and commented: "Jude Bellingham was outstanding tonight.
"From a personal and England point of view, it's exciting he's going into the Euros with that kind of form.
"It's remarkable. There's not another English midfielder playing at this level."

All businesses are reporting increased competition for securing and retaining the services of key individuals. Simon Littlejohns, Partner and Head of Tax at Friend Partnership looks at tax efficient employee incentives that are available following recent changes to HMRC rules, and why businesses should consider being flexible to attract potential employees.
The remuneration policy of any business will be an important element for potential employees and existing employees to consider when deciding to join or stay with a business.
It is clear that non-monetary items can be as important as basic salary and benefits for an employee. For example, annual holidays, maternity and paternity leave, breakout areas and easy chairs and slides in reception can win the day for the services of some individuals.
In recent years HMRC have changed the rules, meaning some remuneration arrangements are now no longer possible.
The rules for salary sacrifice schemes have changed dramatically. Such schemes were used to enable individuals to sacrifice salary in return for benefits in kind. This had various advantages, not least of which was the saving in tax and national insurance. However, now salary sacrifice schemes are restricted and can only be used to cover pension contributions, cycle to work and certain childcare arrangements.
There are still many benefits that can be provided by employers which will be attractive to a wide range of prospective and existing employees.
However, the above may not be attractive enough for ambitious individuals who may want something more.
This is where the promise of an equity stake in the business can be highly attractive for many individuals. For medium size companies the most useful mechanism by which this can be achieved tax efficiently is the Enterprise Management Incentive share option scheme. For more information, please see my previous blog on the subject.
If everything is set up correctly this gives a tax efficient incentive for employees where tax is only payable as and when they sell the shares they acquire under the scheme. The company has ultimate flexibility in that performance targets can be set, and the option agreement can be terminated as and when an individual leaves the company.
The offer of a potential equity stake in this manner acts as a lure to help recruit individuals – and a handcuff to ensure that they stay with the business. Existing owners of the business should never fear the potential dilution, because of the additional minority employee shareholders, because the value of their reduced shareholding should increase because of the efforts put in by the individuals with a minority stake.
Businesses need to be flexible when it comes to their renumeration arrangements because one size does not fit all. If they are not offering what a prospective candidate wants it is likely that another employer will.
Simon Littlejohns is a partner and Head of Tax at Friend Partnership, and works predominantly with business owners, owner managed businesses, entrepreneurs and High Net Worth individuals.

Case for Sinn Fein/Progressive Unionist Party alliance – by Sean Brennan
By Sean Brennan November 3, 2013 2 Comments
The Northern Ireland (NI) peace process is considered to be one of the most successful peace settlements yet to be implemented. There is much goodness in this progress towards a post-conflict society and, compared to other peace processes, both the Northern Ireland model and its people have much for which to be thankful.
And yet, despite this success when compared to the key determinants of post-conflict peacebuilding, the process is beginning to develop an almost oxymoronic hue.
Such oxymorons are most evident in reading Danny Morrison's curious analysis of Tony Novosel's critique on working class Protestants where Mr. Morrison claims he supports Sinn Fein because it is attempting to 'distribute wealth on a more equitable basis'.
In exploring some of the key statistics and research on NI it may be possible to explain how Mr. Morrison's comments are not only curious but questionable as they appear to run contrary to the quiet desperation now growing in many working class areas and particularly within the former political ex-prisoner community, of which he is a member.
By briefly exploring key research it may also be possible to demonstrate that rather than criticizing the PUP, Mr. Morrison should be advocating a partnership with them rather than the DUP, who are the instigators of the current 'flags dispute' and the original dissidents opposing the Belfast Good Friday Agreement.
From this discourse people may better understand how Sinn Fein appear to have become imprisoned within a 'teach mor' republicanism, which now sits more comfortably with the 'big house' unionists they currently share power with: and why Sinn Fein needs to discover a progressive republicanism more suited to a reconciling and post-conflict society.
In direct contrast to Mr. Morrison's claims, exploring findings from the Community Relations Council's 2013 Peace Monitoring Report it is possible to believe that Seamus Mallon and David Trimble may have been speaking truth to power in their observations that 'the current administration was not delivering very much apart from its existence' and that 'the DUP and Sinn Féin were lacking in political leadership'.
The 2013 Peace Monitoring Report identified that NI now tops the UK league table for the 'proportion of income derived from benefits' and that 22% of Catholics lived in households experiencing poverty compared to 17% Protestants.
The Report showed that 355,000 people, 20% of the NI population, were living in relative poverty. Also, sixteen of the top 20 most deprived wards are Catholic and that youth unemployment is on the rise with 15% of Protestants in the 18-24 year-old age group and 20% of Catholics in the same category.
From a different data source, the Victim's Commissioner, Kathryn Stone, recently observed that victims are 'being made to feel like beggars' in their attempts to find support services to aid their recovery. Again, this independent evidence tends to undermine any claim that wealth is now being distributed more equitably.
In addition, research from NICVA, identifying that £750m a year will be removed from the NI economy as a direct result of welfare reforms, also tends to contradict claims that Sinn Fein, which runs OFMDFM, is attempting to 'distribute wealth on a more equitable basis', unless redistribution is from the poor to the rich.
One area where inequality and a lack of re-distributed wealth can be seen most evidently is in how the political ex-prisoner community has faired since 2007. Research on political ex-prisoners, undertaken by Prof. Pete Shirlow for the Community Foundation NI in 2010, found that:
'Over a third of respondents (39.9%) had GHQ-12 scores indicating the presence of clinically significant mental health problems, 32.6 % had received prescription medication for depression in the last year and 22.6% said that since release from prison there had been times when they had not wanted to go on living. Over half reported symptoms characteristic of post-traumatic stress disorder. Standardised screening measures for alcohol problems indicated that 68.8% of respondents engaged in levels of drinking that were hazardous, and 53.3% met the threshold for alcohol dependence'.
Research findings cautioned that as many political ex-prisoners begin to reach pension age increasing challenges would arise in how society finds the resources to cope with their growing demand for primary health care and social support.
Such poor health outcomes are not restricted solely to political ex-prisoners but also indicative of the wider ex-combatant community including former UK Armed Forces personnel, RUC, UDR and Prison Officers.
It is not too difficult to articulate or conceptualize how social support will diminish further over the next few years as the Sinn Fein/DUP Welfare Reforms kick in and the DHSSPS struggles to cope with the consequences of caring for victims and survivors of our conflict.
From such a brief statistical analysis it is also not too difficult to understand why Mr. Morrison's claims that Sinn Fein are attempting to distribute wealth on a more equitable basis are both curious and questionable.
The other curious claim in Mr. Morrison's article is that Sinn Fein 'has gone out of its way to meet half-way unionist sensibilities'. This claim seems to be at odds with the President of Sinn Fein who avers that opposition to unionist culture and the ending of parades in Portadown and the Ormeau Road did not happen by accident but was the work of republican activists.
Therefore, if, as Mr. Morrison claims, Sinn Fein is progressive, it would make more sense and be more credible for them to begin working with the PUP, to resolve cultural conflicts rather than demonizing loyalists much as the British media demonized republicans.
Working constructively with the PUP might then develop a more radical and enduring solution to the current parades dispute and growing inequalities in health and poverty.
Also, in following their own advice, Sinn Fein could provide the leadership to move their Concerned Residents Groups 150 meters back from contentious routes, to show a more creative way of registering opposition to unionist culture.
As most opinion polls show that a United Ireland is some way off, working with the PUP and other unionist groups in such a progressive and constructive fashion might then just help persuade more unionists they have nothing to fear in an all-island economy.
Mr. Morrison could also listen to the speeches from the PUP conference and take guidance and leadership from Dr. John Kyle and Mr. Billy Hutchinson on how Sinn Fein and the PUP can begin working more collaboratively to help working class communities, and the 355,000 people living in relative poverty, to find the peace dividend they so richly deserve.
This approach would also demonstrate that Sinn Fein was prepared to work with the working class rather than demonize and marginalize them, in interface cantons, simply for electoral and peacebuilding exploitation.
So how could Mr. Morrison and Sinn Fein move forward with the PUP to attain the equitable redistribution of wealth?
Ironically, and at the height of adding to the oxymoronic hue, Tony Novosel's critique of the Protestant Working Class offers some valuable insights on what Sinn Fein needs to do in order to develop a more constructive and egalitarian peace dividend that seeks to meet the basic human needs of a post conflict society.
As Novosel notes, within the current peace process, the challenges facing the Protestant Working Class makes it unclear whether they will choose a progressive or a regressive approach to tackling the inequalities and oxymoronic politics of our peace process.
Likewise for the Catholic Working Class, it is unclear whether they too will choose a progressive approach or retain a regressive sectarian model of 'teach mor' republicanism, to mirror image and triumph over those working class loyalists they currently attempt to demonize.
To set a context for a progressive way forward everyone in NI would do well to follow the eloquent and seer-like advice from Brian Rowan on how we remember the past.
Then, to begin to address the growing inequalities in our peace process and learn from Novosel's observations, Sinn Fein and the PUP could move beyond the sectarian politics of the past and see the working class as one distinct marginalised and disadvantaged group.
Also, the UK and Irish governments, the international community and civil society, could use the Haas Initiative as a mechanism to construct a comprehensive framework that supports progressive peacebuilding for working class communities.
This unified approach could then transform our protracted conflict through an integrated perspective for short-and long-term conflict transformation that meets the basic human needs of all working class communities.
This framework could also establish an infrastructure for peace that is not managed nor shared out on a 'big house/teach mor' political elite basis.
This building of an effective and efficient inclusive working class peace constituency could then help local residents, political institutions and local peacebuilders, evade the gatekeeping of paramilitary peacebuilding, to deliver more meaningful change in socioeconomic conditions affecting those most in need.
Such approaches have the potential to move beyond the sectarian nepotism now prevailing and provide employment, health, social well-being and support services to all those working class communities most in need.
Given the challenges facing the implementation of an integrated framework for post-conflict peacebuilding, the development of such a progressive peace will not be easy as our current sectarian political elites have too much invested to quit.
Indeed, anyone studying the complexities of NI will readily understand that all attempts to move beyond sectarian politics and deal with class-based socio-economic issues will be trumped by a flag, of whatever hue.
So it is of vital importance that Sinn Fein and the PUP begin conversations and dialogue on how they can begin to work more constructively to undermine the sectarian political elites, and relative poverty of 355,000 people, much as the PUP and UDP undermined the DUP in 1998.
How Sinn Fein, the PUP, the UK and Irish governments and Haas Initiative, respond to the oxymorons of our peace process and refute ill-informed analysis, such as that provided by Danny Morrison, may well decide, as Novosel opines, the course of unionist and nationalist politics as well as the future of Northern Ireland itself.
As there will be no United Ireland any time soon, rather than criticizing the PUP, Mr. Morrison and Sinn Fein should be advocating the building of mutual relations with the PUP to eradicate sectarianism and poverty within a post-conflict society.
The development of such a partnership could then begin to lift 355,000 people out of sectarian interface cantons and relative poverty. It could also contribute to helping the unionist community believe they have nothing to fear in a united island.
With this redistribution of wealth, the working class could then begin to feel the benefit.

The duodenum is the first part of the small intestine. It is located between the stomach and the rest of the small intestine. When the duodenum is blocked and doesn't allow food to move from the stomach into the rest of the intestine, your baby will be diagnosed with duodenal atresia. The condition is the result of the duodenum not developing properly.
The cause of this condition is unknown. Duodenal atresia occurs in one out of every 2,500 live births. Half of the infants with this condition are born prematurely and approximately two-thirds have associated abnormalities of the heart, genitourinary or intestinal tract. Nearly 40 percent have Down Syndrome.
The condition is often diagnosed by ultrasound during pregnancy. During an ultrasound, your doctor might suspect duodenal atresia if the fetal stomach is enlarged or abnormally shaped and there is too much amniotic fluid (the fluid that surrounds your fetus in the womb). If there is fluid in the baby's stomach and in part of the duodenum, but no fluid beyond that, this is known as the "double-bubble sign." If there is too much amniotic fluid in the womb, this condition is known as polyhydramnios. This condition is not usually diagnosed until the second half of pregnancy and may not be seen until you are in the third trimester. If there is polyhydramnios, there is an increased risk for preterm labor, and our team will do additional testing and monitor you for this.
How is duodenal atresia treated?
Duodenal atresia cannot be treated before the baby is born. If it's diagnosed during an ultrasound, your doctor will monitor your pregnancy very carefully with additional ultrasounds. Your baby's heart, genitourinary system and intestinal tract will be examined closely for additional abnormalities. You will meet with our genetic counselor to discuss additional testing to determine if there are chromosomal abnormalities. We may discuss performing and amniocentesis to test for Down Syndrome. If there is too much amniotic fluid and you have signs of preterm labor or difficulty breathing, we may recommend an amnioreduction procedure. Our nurse navigator will arrange for you to meet with neonatologists and pediatric surgeons to discuss the care your baby may need after birth. After the baby is born, he or she will be cared for in our newborn intensive care unit (NICU) to undergo further evaluation and treatment. You may wish to tour the NICU prior to your baby's birth.
How will duodenal atresia affect my baby during and after surgery?
Soon after birth, excess intestinal contents and gas that contribute to abdominal swelling (distention) is removed through a tube that is placed into the stomach through the mouth or nose. Your baby will not be able to eat anything by mouth, and additional testing will be done to determine exactly where the obstruction lies.
Surgery is usually done within one to two days after birth. Duodenal atresia is repaired by connecting the blocked segment of duodenum to the portion of duodenum just beyond the obstruction.
A nasogastric (NG) tube is left in place to allow air and fluid to escape until your baby's bowel function returns. This may vary from a few days to several weeks. During the period of bowel inactivity, nutrition is provided intravenously. Once the intestinal function is normalized, nutrition is provided orally or through a feeding tube.
Your baby will need to stay in the NICU for several weeks after surgery, until he/she is eating well and showing adequate weight gain.
Children who undergo surgery for intestinal atresia require regular follow-up to ensure adequate growth and development, and to avoid nutritional deficiencies that may occur as a result of the loss of intestine. How babies progress depends to a large extent on whether there is an associated abnormality and whether the baby is left with an adequate length of intestine. You will be closely followed by our team of specialists as your baby continues to grow.
Do you have questions about your pregnancy and wonder if our services could be of assistance? Patients may contact our nurse navigator through the email form below or at 844-542-4602 to discuss your unique situation and determine if the Fetal to Newborn Care Center is right for you.

Five former South Korean owners of the Galaxy Note 7 are not dropping charges against Samsung Electronics even after the largest phone maker in the world has dismissed them as frauds, The Investor reports. On Tuesday, a lawyer at Harvest Law Office that's representing the group described the current situation as "favorable" for their clients, especially after Samsung admitted that faulty batteries are to blame for the Galaxy Note 7 fires and the South Korean government corroborated their findings. The lawyer also revealed how their plaintiffs have no intentions of settling with Samsung outside of the courtroom, especially after the company's customer service representatives told them they're "frauds" who are making false claims about the Galaxy Note 7. Samsung's employees allegedly accused the plaintiffs of trying to extort money from the Seoul-based tech giant, Harvest Law Office's representative revealed.
The same source also claimed that Samsung refused to sincerely apologize to the plaintiffs even before the matter was taken to court. All five plaintiffs initially filed individual lawsuits against Samsung with the Seoul Central District Court, but due to the similar natures of their disputes, they've all ended up being represented by Harvest Law Office. In addition to monetary compensation for the damages incurred from their faulty phablets, these consumers are now also seeking compensation for the fact that Samsung's employees allegedly damaged their reputations by accusing them of lying and being "frauds." The trial is expected to start by mid-2017, presumably during the second quarter of the year.
In addition to this dispute, Samsung is currently facing numerous other legal battles all over the world. From class action lawsuits to individual filings made against the company, it seems that the Galaxy Note 7 fiasco still isn't over as some consumers still feel wronged by Samsung and aren't willing to drop the matter. The South Korean tech giant will likely want to wrap up many of its legal battles concerning the Galaxy Note 7 as quickly as possible seeing how the company is currently preparing for the launch of the Galaxy S8 and the Galaxy S8 Plus, meaning that it must strive to avoid negative publicity at all costs.

George Henry Leiviska (1911-1981)
George Henry (Heikki) Leiviska was born in Atlantic Mine, Michigan on 11 July 1911. His father, Heikki Urho (Henry George) Leiviska was a copper miner who had immigrated from Kestila in northern Finland in 1901. His mother, Josephine Rose Torvinen, was born to Finnish immigrants in Hancock in 1891. George was the eldest of 8 children. During the Depression, George spent time riding the rails and working in lumber camps in Idaho. By 1935 he had joined the Youth League of the Communist Party in northern Michigan.
On April 21 1937, George embarked on the Queen Mary to join the struggle of the Spanish Republicans against the forces of fascism. He has recounted battles as a machine gunner at Belchite and Quinto in the book, Our Boys in Spain.
Wounded in his shoulder in 1938, George recuperated in Barcelona and, when the Spanish government dismissed the International brigades, George left Spain for New York City. There he met Sylvia Helmi Stark, at the Finnish Club. She was born in Finland and raised on a farm in New Hampshire and helped him regain his health. They were married in 14 April 1941 and moved to Detroit where George worked as a tool and dye maker for the car industry. During the McCarthy era, he was constantly pursued by the FBI for his communist affiliations. Having to work at small, independent shops, George was frequently laid off in the off-season. When that happened, he and his wife and young daughter, Georgia (b. 1945), frequently went for part of the year to Florida.
George and Sylvia became members of the Detroit Finnish Cooperative Summer Camp Association founded in 1925 on 100 acres at Loon Lake, outside of Detroit, and Sylvia eventually bought a house there to raise her daughter. The marriage suffered and they were divorced in 1965.
George had always read widely and, in his retirement, wrote a column for many years for the Tyomies-Eteenpain, the Finnish-American socialist workers' paper. His column, Scuttlebutt, under the pseudonym Tossu, ran from c. 1975-1981, and was always insightful and entertaining. He was very much a reconteur.
In his later life, George met and married Helen Kruth, the widow of Communist and Spanish Civil War veteran, Mito Kruth.
George died in New Mexico in 1981. Dennis Rahkonen wrote George's Memoriam in the Tyomies in 1981: "George Leiviska was eminently likeable, possessing a finely-honed sense of humor which he used in conjunction with his ample writing talent to produce the "Scuttlebutt" columns that so deftly assailed monopoly capitalism's foibles and failings….George Leiviska was a peaceful man, who became a soldier…because his conscience told him that his help was needed in a necessary fight half the world away."
Vale y ¡Salud, mi padre!
Georgia Leiviska Phillips, daughter

The District Attorney's Office for the 11th Judicial District of Tennessee prosecutes felony and misdemeanor crimes throughout Hamilton County. We represent the State of Tennessee and serve a population of approximately 345,000 people.
Neal Pinkston is the elected District Attorney General of Hamilton County. He began serving an eight year term in September 2014.
General Pinkston oversees 27 Assistant District Attorneys in the DA's office who are responsible for prosecuting the more than 50,000 criminal cases filed in Hamilton County each year.
Prosecutors have extraordinary power and along with it special responsibilities to ensure justice is done.
With every criminal case, a prosecutor reviews the facts to evaluate whether there is enough evidence to support the charges originally brought by police. If the evidence is convincing, the case is prosecuted.
A prosecutor may decline to prosecute or "reject" a case if there is insufficient evidence or if more investigation is required.
The Hamilton County District Attorney's Office is committed to the pursuit of justice. We are dedicated to the vigorous and professional prosecution of those who violate the law.
The [prosecutor] is the representative not of an ordinary party to a controversy, but of a sovereignty whose obligation to govern impartially is as compelling as its obligation to govern at all; and whose interest, therefore, in a criminal prosecution is not that it shall win a case, but that justice shall be done. As such, he is in a peculiar and very definite sense the servant of the law, the twofold aim of which is that guilt shall not escape or innocence suffer. He may prosecute with earnestness and vigor - indeed, he should do so. But, while he may strike hard blows, he is not at liberty to strike foul ones. It is as much his duty to refrain from improper methods calculated to produce a wrongful conviction as it is to use every legitimate means to bring about a just one.

dan's birthday is this weekend, and since we had signed up to bring snacks to our small group this week, i thought it'd be fun to do a theme. ha! so, i picked star trek. let me just tell you, it's disturbing the number of websites out there dedicated to replicating food from star trek. like...think sea urchins, and translucent noodles. yikes.
with the help of my great friend larry, i was able to come up with some totally awesome REAL snacks, with star trek names. it was lots of fun!
for drinks, we had romulan ale, which was really blue koolaid, and saurian brandy. larry found a great recipe for saurian brandy, made with vodka and orange liquor, etc...but i opted to use sweet tea instead.
for food, we had several treats: ferengi caterpillars wrapped in blankets, really pigs in a blanket. i like to make mine with a little bit of mustard inside. yum! we also had bean me up, scotty bean dip and romulan cheese pie (cheese pizza).
several peeps asked me for the bean dip recipe, so here you go!
my mom also uses taco seasoning, but i leave that out. feel free to add a tsp if it suits you!
mix beans, sour cream, cream cheese, soup and 1/2 the bag of shredded cheese and mix thorougly. add the rest of the cheese on top, and bake at 350 for 30 minutes.


The acute phase of your pain will last about four to six weeks.
You can expect recovery to take at least four months.
Eighty percent of people recover without surgery, but surgery might be necessary.
Surgery is invasive and can pose serious risks so it may not be worth it for some people.
I can escape most of the pain.
Now how does one do that?
the less mobility I have.
looking through the passenger's side of the windshield.
article on chronic pain and suicide.
That's not me though - not yet - no suicide, no opiates.
with their off-hand time frames..
Pain is one of the shortest and most hated words in dictionaries, always sad to see somebody in a pain, especially sciatica pain, horrible! just wish you fast and full recovery! defy and endure mon ami!
and sciatica pain is manageable and curable, haven't heard it can lead to suicide! so weird!
Merci, mon ami! We shall prevail. Pain cured the depressive funk I was in prior to this episode. I just hope to learn the lesson of appreciating and living fully every day I have without pain in the future. Pain is one hell of an effective teacher.

On the Couch with Roger Hodgman
Who is Roger Hodgman?
I'm a freelance theatre and screen director. Recently I've directed a lot of musicals (Grey Gardens, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and Dirty Rotten Scoundrels) – and operas (Rigoletto, Nixon in China and Don Pasquale) as well as being the start-up director for the TV series A Place To Call Home. I'm currently directing As You Like It for Black Swan in Perth and will shortly start work on the first production of Geoffrey Atherden's stage version of Mother and Son. I've enjoying the variety and the lack of administrative tasks after twenty years of running institutions (Vancouver Playhouse, VCA School of Drama and the Melbourne Theatre Company).
Nothing really. I'm afraid my work is my hobby – along with leisure time and holidays spent with my wife Pamela Rabe.
Usually the writers whose work I try to interpret. Shakespeare currently, because he feels so modern. It's wonderful to feel and hear an audience recognizing themselves and things they know in a work written four hundred years ago. I recently did my first Verdi opera and was staggered by his sense of theatre and drama. I'm also inspired by the artists I work with – designers, actors, and singers.
Find conviction politicians who can break out of the endless cycle of spin and deceit. And politicians who understand the value to society of the Arts.
Tasmania. I come from there and Pamela loves it as well. There are extraordinarily peaceful and beautiful places on the East Coast particularly and the D'Entrecasteaux channel. And sleepy Hobart is slowly waking up.
When friends come to town, what attraction would you take then to, and why?
If we were in Melbourne I'd walk them through Melbourne's laneways and take them for a drive down the Ocean Road. In Sydney – the Manly ferry. If they're here for a couple of days, a trip to MONA in Hobart.
I am well into Ian Kelly's Mr. Foote's Other Leg, a fascinating and hilarious biography of Samuel Foote – a one legged comedian who was media a superstar in mid Eighteenth Century London. But a couple of days ago I picked up Burial Rites, the first novel by the young Australian writer Hannah Kent and have to finish that. It's a wonderfully atmospheric and beautifully written novel set in nineteenth century Iceland about a young woman beheaded for murder.
An opera I'm directing early next year – as yet unannounced so I can't name it. When not listening to anything specific, I have ABC Classic FM or BBC Radio Three constantly playing.
Working on good projects with great people. We're so lucky to be paid to pursue what is really our hobby. And free time with Pamela.
I'm committed to seven projects in the next year or so, so a lot of work! Then maybe a long overseas holiday.
Roger Hodgman is one of Australia's most sort after directors. He began his career with the ABC, where he directed a range of programs. He worked in England and Canada between 1971-1983 where he taught acting at East 15 Drama School and the Vancouver Playhouse Acting School, taught Shakespeare Studies at Simon Fraser University and directed numerous theatre productions.
He held the position of Artistic Director of the Vancouver Playhouse for three years. A highlight of his time in Vancouver was working closely with Tennessee Williams on two premieres of Williams' plays. In 1983 Roger became Dean of the School of Drama at the Victorian College of the Arts.
He was the Artistic Director of Melbourne Theatre Company from 1988-1999. Among the over fifty productions he directed for the Company, highlights included a series of modern dress Shakespeare and four critically acclaimed productions of Stephen Sondheim musicals. He has since conducted a busy freelance career directing plays, operas, musicals and numerous TV dramas throughout Australia and in Canada, New Zealand and Japan.
He has been the recipient of numerous Awards including a Helpmann Award for Best Director for Grey Gardens; Green Room Awards for Best Director for Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? and A Little Night Music; Sydney Theatre Critics Awards for Best Music Theatre Production for Sweeney Todd; and aSilver Bear for Best Telemovie at Chicago Film festival for Stepfather of the Bride.
