NINETEEN MINERS WERE trapped in a collapsed tunnel at Rudna copper mine in Poland when an earthquake hit south-west of Warsaw just after 10pm last night.
Emergency services say they rescued all 19 workers after about eight hours of digging through rock and earth, according to BBC News.
Reuters reports that the men were trapped about 600 metres below the surface. Two were treated for minor injuries but the other 17 have returned home.
A spokesperson for the mine's owner KGHM said it was the biggest accident in the firm's history. The State-controlled company is Europe's second-biggest copper producer. It operates in the Lower Silesia region, which is rich in mineral resources.

At the stern of my gondola.
When you experience unimaginable heartbreak and sorrow, you need the support of your family. But you also need the support of your friends. When I lost my dad and my husband in less than two weeks in July, both to a massive heart attack, I was grateful and privileged to have both 'support groups' close to me.
I was completely lost, but everyone was there to support me. Family came to stay with me, friends traveled huge distances, including from Sweden, to be here. Flowers, baskets, homemade food, cards and hugs arrived for weeks. Blogging friends reached out to me with private messages on email and messages here on my blog. Several of you are still 'checking on' me, which I greatly appreciate. Thank you, friends, from the bottom of my heart.
Our neighbors and friends, including those at the dog park were here to support me and Dylan when it mattered most. And that support has continued. What an amazing bunch of friends you all are!
After everyone returned to their daily lives, and our home suddenly felt empty and huge, Dylan has provided a wonderful, comforting presence.
He has dragged me out for long walks daily, however bad I have felt, and snuggled next to me every night. He had many daily routines with 'dad' and is now training me to perform those tasks. He pulls me into the salt marsh and dog park most nights just before sunset. He enjoys the company of his friends as much I treasure the company of mine.
These guys are an amazing bunch too. While I have not yet gotten back to my usual photography routine, I snapped a picture of Papa Osprey at the Sailing Center late one evening when I happened to carry my camera. Just seeing him around warmed my heart.
And the Mayor was there too, greeting us from the low tide waters right below the sea wall.
I do feel the call of my feathered friends and hope to be able to get back to observing them on a regular basis soon. At latest when I return from my family/work/'me-time' trip in early October. I hope this upcoming trip to Europe will give me new perspectives and valuable experiences. And I intend to share some of them with you.
All, take care of you and your loved ones. Thank you for your encouragement and friendship. I want to end this post with a poem I wrote about a week ago.
now has a completely new meaning.

Andrew Bovell's Speaking In Tongues is a strange bit of theatre. Performed in an inflatable dome at the rear of the Pleasance Courtyard, the audience sits in the centre on swivel chairs while the performance takes place around them. It's inverse in-the-round, or to give it a catchier name, doughnut staging (which is why I imagine the company is called Doughnut Productions). In a further twist, Speaking In Tongues is split into two parts that share chronology, characters and themes: The Lies and The Truths.
It's debatable whether one works without the other. I saw The Truths first, only realising as I entered that it was technically the second part of a bigger work. Afterwards, convinced that I needed to see the whole picture in order to properly review it, I got a ticket for The Lies.
Both plays are performed by Phil Aizlewood, Kate Austen, Ben Elder and Georgine Periam, who all play a series of married couples in strained relationships. The Lies opens with a synchronised four-way flirt, each on a mission to find a quick shag for the night. The consequences of those indiscretions fuel the rest of the show, their relationships disintegrating, reforming and collapsing in a series of emotional arguments.
The Truths has a slightly different tack. A woman has gone missing on a darkened country road. Prior to her disappearance, she left increasingly worried sounding answer phone messages asking her husband to pick them up. He missed them, having been spending the evening with his mistress. The Truths orbits her absence, flashing back to the missing woman's life as a therapist and showing us the roots of her anxiety and misery.
Speaking In Tongues is often a quite difficult to follow. Part of this is down to it being a story told over two halves and part is that each actor plays multiple roles that look and sound quite similar to each other. It's generally pretty fun when a play trusts its audience enough to play detective and assemble the narrative themselves - and you do get a pleasant buzz of achievement here when you connect the dots and realise you've already heard about some event via another character. But there are moments within this jumble of deceit, misunderstanding and coincidence where I simply couldn't keep a grip of the narrative thread.
The unusual staging doesn't exactly help. Doughnut Productions website states: "The infinite stage provides the actors with an unlimited performance area, being able to walk, run or even ride a bike through the audience." While I'm sure this is the case elsewhere, it definitely isn't inside the tent at Pleasance. Here the show felt seriously cramped, the actors pressed up against the walls and forced to awkwardly work around the audience as best they can. The swivel chair concept doesn't work either - the place is simply too small to rotate freely without awkwardly knocking knees with other audience members. You end up craning your neck to keep track of what's happening, which defeats the point of the whole concept.
It's a shame, as the show can boast some neat writing and performance moments. There's a great line in The Lies "it's good to be the one who leaves a marriage, having your friends and family hate you is really good for moving on" and, in the midst of some of the pitched arguments there's some nicely acidic ripostes. Performance-wise I seriously enjoyed Ben Elder's buttoned-down rich man in The Truths, both out of love with his wife and genuinely concerned that she's missing. There's a nice balance in the character that makes his interrogation by Phil Aizlewood's policeman appropriately tense.
Despite these speckles of interest, Speaking In Tongues doesn't quite work, at least in this staging. A lot of that is down to squeezing a few too many seats into a small venue, which restricts the performance space and makes us feel squeezed in together. But part of it is down a script whose components never quite gel into a satisfying whole. It's an interesting experiment, but not a successful one.
Speaking In Tongues: The Lies / The Truths is at the Green, The Pleasance Courtyard Aug 8-16, 19-28. Tickets for The Lies here and The Truths here.


Almost a year since its release, I've finally gotten round to watching one of the controversial movies of 2016, Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice. My short review is, I liked it! True, it's not a masterpiece of cinema, but it's not the dog's dinner that I'd been led to believe, I feel!
Following the events of Man of Steel, the world is beginning to question Superman and his motivations. Should one man have all that power and be allowed to run around unchecked? Highly controversial stuff, I'm sure you'll agree! The government decides to step in and call him to account. Meanwhile, Bruce Wayne is looking into a Russian weapons trafficker and discovers a link with LexCorp, so infiltrates their computers to get some intel. At a party there, he meets antiquities dealer Diana Prince, and once he manages to decrypt the data he steals from the corporation's mainframe, discovers she is actually a metahuman warrior. Lex Luthor has been investigating a couple of these folks, and alongside this research has also been attempting to import some kryptonite found in the Indian Ocean to act as a deterrent against Superman and his ilk.
It turns out that Luthor is genuinely against these super-human types running around the planet, and determined to check them. Unfortunately, he's also kinda crazy, and attempts to turn the world against Superman by blowing up the Congressional hearing, where only Superman survives the blast. Berating himself for not seeing the duplicity, Superman goes into exile. Meanwhile, Batman steals the kryptonite from LexCorp and turns it into a weapon to defeat Superman, and Lex obtains the corpse of General Zod and access to the Kryptonian scout ship held in isolation in Metropolis. He also kidnaps Martha Kent in order to bring Superman out of exile.
Superman returns to Metropolis, and Lex explains he wants the world to see that the alien is not all good; he must kill Batman in order to save his mother. Lois Lane, learning of the plan, follows Superman to Gotham. Batman and Superman start fighting, and the weaponised kryptonite gives Batman the upper hand. Just as he's about to plunge a kryptonite spear into Superman, Superman gasps out that he needs to "save Martha" – which was also the name of Bruce Wayne's mother. Lois arrives to explain, and Bruce promises to save her.
Batman manages to defeat Lex's Russian terrorist allies and save Superman's mum, while Superman confronts Lex at the scout ship. Lex has also been busy, however, and has created an abomination from both Zod's body and his own blood: Doomsday. Superman and this abomination battle it out in Metropolis, but each time Superman defeats it with his heat-ray eyes, the mutant grows stronger. Superman flies it up into space, where the military decide it can safely be nuked with no collateral damage, and launch their missiles. Unfortunately, that just gives it more energy to grow stronger still.
Diana, about to leave Metropolis, sees the battle on the news and decides she needs to stay – when Batman manages to lure Doomsday to Gotham's abandoned docks, he is almost killed before Diana, now in her Wonder Woman get-up, deflects the energy blast on her bullet-proof bracers. Superman recovers from the nuclear blast and also joins the fray, while Lois attempts to recover the kryptonite spear as the only way of killing the monster. Superman leaves the fight to go help her, though being in close proximity to the spear weakens him all the same. Wonder Woman manages to contain it with her lasso of truth, and Batman manages to use his last kryptonite gas canister to weaken Doomsday enough that Superman can fly in close enough to thrust the spear into the abomination, though as it dies it manages to stab him with a bone, causing a fatal wound.
There's a lot of story here, as you can see! There are elements from the comics brought in to support an otherwise original storyline, and I think it actually works out really great. I'm not about to write up some kind of apology for the movie, don't get me wrong, but I thought overall it was a really good movie. There are some things that I kinda wish had been done differently, or could have been explained better, or whatever, but overall, I really don't think this film deserves the amount of negativity it has gained.
First of all, Ben Affleck is a fantastic Batman, and I just loved Jeremy Irons as such a bitchy Alfred. There is definitely a movie in there that I want to see! Henry Cavill as Superman is perhaps a bit odd, he certainly seemed a lot more serious than I'd expected for Superman. But it's a very serious movie, and I think he did as good a job as could be expected. A lot of folks have talked about how Superman is supposed to be such a bright character, but I think Cavill had a sense of bemusement as to why the world seemed to be so against him, when all he's trying to do is help, and I thought it came across quite well. Wonder Woman was terribly under-used, unfortunately, but I suppose it's just made me more excited for the upcoming movie this summer! Jesse Eisenberg's Lex Luthor was simply annoying – a lot of people have complained about the fact that he has hair, but personally I don't really mind the fact that he looks different. It was more the fact that he came across almost as a caricature of the cackling evil madman, and it just annoyed the hell out of me.
We get some tantalising glimpses of Flash, Cyborg and Aquaman in the movie, who are all set to be in the upcoming Justice League movie that is also due out later this year.
There is a lot of story here, and the movie does seem to jump around with a lot of exposition before we really know where we are. Part of me wonders whether that might be part of the problem with the film: it demands too much of our attention. You have to actually watch it to follow it, rather than just browsing your phone while it's on in the background, and looking up whenever there's a fight or whatever. Maybe I'm just being a snob when I say that, though. As I said before, it's not like I'm trying to be an apologist for it, I just think it's a lot better than people seem to want you to believe.
Sometimes, of course, the film does sag under its own weight of story, and I have to say, it was a little confusing at times as to why some characters were doing what they were doing. Why do Batman and Superman even fight? Sure, Lex explains he wants the world to see Superman kill Batman, but why is Batman so up for it? I get the impression we're supposed to believe he thinks Superman is no better than the criminals he's been fighting in Gotham all these years. But it's never adequately explained, for my liking. There is actually a DC comics series of Batman vs Superman, and I never really managed to get into that either. To me, while Batman is usually the one to distrust everyone, I don't ever see him actually fighting Superman, who should so clearly be a force for good in the world.
The film runs to a little over 2 hours 10 minutes, but I feel it could have done with perhaps an extra half hour of material to really flesh things out. We're still in that tenuous sort of era where movies can't always go much over 2 hours without being really tremendous, but I'd happily watch a longer feature if it meant a proper story. And I think this is a perfect example of a movie that needs that – we've got two absolute titans of the comic book world! They need to be fleshed out properly!
Comparisons with Marvel I suppose must be made, though I haven't yet seen Civil War so can't comment on that whole thing. While I would say that Marvel's movies do tend to be much brighter and whatnot, and a lot of people have heavily criticised this film for taking such a dark stand, I think it fits with the story perfectly, and would say again that such reviews have been too harsh. It's not a Marvel movie, correct – it was never meant to be, after all! DC are clearly doing their own thing, and lightness of tone are probably better kept for Flash and Green Lantern. I don't think a comic book movie has to be comical, after all.
This is a movie that is definitely worth watching. I let other people put me off going to see it for far too long, now, and I think the lesson I've learnt here is, don't listen to the popular opinion of DC movies! It's worth watching to make up your own mind, and even if you don't agree with me, I still think that's a valuable lesson to take from all this.

Your skin is the largest organ of your body and responsible for maintaining temperature, fighting off viruses and holding in your other organs. This is a lot of stress to place on a single organ, but your skin tends to take this in stride. Chronic levels of stress however can lead to skin problems like inflammation, itching and compromised immunity. Even if you don't necessarily realize that you are being exposed to stress your body, including your skin, can react to hormonal changes caused by stress. One of the best ways to decrease your body's reaction to stress is to exercise regularly. This can have several effects that can help make your skin look and feel healthier.
Chronic stress causes your body's endocrine system to release hormones such as cortisol. Over time, chronically high levels of these hormones cause problems like an overproduction of sebum from the follicles of your skin. This can clog pores when combined with dead skin cells, causing acne and skin inflammation. Exercise naturally decreases levels of stress hormones, both during and after the actual workout. Inflamed skin and other skin conditions caused by chronically high stress hormone levels can also deplete your body's immunity. As a result, you become more susceptible to illness and even minor cuts or breaks in your skin may take longer than normal to heal.
Exercise isn't simply a good way to lose or maintain your weight, it can also improve your skin's appearance. When combined with a program that includes a healthy diet and drinking plenty of water, exercise can improve your mood, reduce your risk of chronic illness and encourages you to sweat. Sweating is helpful because it helps to regulate your temperature but it also forces waste products from the follicles of your skin out and away from your body.
If you have any questions about the effects of stress on your skin, call our office to make an appointment.
It's believed that you must spend a fortune to maintain a youthful appearance. Secrets hidden within nature will help to give you that youthful, rejuvenated look that you are seeking at low cost.
Food's natural resources can provide the vitamins and minerals needed to promote healthy skin and reduce premature aging. Vitamins, antioxidants, and Omega 3 are found in the foods we consume. Certainly, staying well-hydrated is one of nature's most accessible anti-aging secrets.
Vitamins and antioxidants can be found in fruits, such as, blueberries and pomegranates, or in vegetables, such as, spinach and carrots. Omega 3's can be found in fish and fresh basil leaves or supplements are available over-the-counter.
Women begin to age as soon as they finish with their teenage years (and begin to fight it immediately thereafter). One sign that aging has begun is the loss of flexibility and muscle tone. How do you plan to fight off these aging symptoms? If you're like many of your peers, then you may have already turned to yoga to keep fit as you grow older.
Yoga may be the answer to aging. It can be used to improve your flexibility and create muscle tone. Furthermore, many feel more calm and relaxed after leaving a yoga workout. The exercises seem to be tailor-made to restore youthful vigor to an aging body. When it's all said and done, if you feel relaxed, flexible, and strong, then perhaps you have indeed discovered your fountain of youth.

Paedophile Offender: Brother Darcy O'Sullivan
The Marist Brothers have a lot to answer for when it comes to Darcy O'Sullivan – otherwise known as Brother Dominic.
In the 1970s and 1980s, O'Sullivan taught at the Marist Brothers College in Hamilton, Newcastle, and St Mary's High School in Casino, on the north-east coast of New South Wales.
In 1996, O'Sullivan was almost appointed the principal of the Marist Brothers College.
This is all in spite of the numerous child sexual abuse rumours and claims circling O'Sullivan at the time.
Other Marist Brothers knew O'Sullivan was abusing his students. In fact, it was another Marist Brother who inadvertently turned O'Sullivan into the authorities in January 1997.
Brother Anthony Hunt – otherwise known as Brother Irenaeus – was Brother Superior of the Marist Brothers in Lismore in the mid-1980s. Like O'Sullivan, Brother Anthony was teaching primary and secondary students in the area.
At the time, the police were investigating another Marist Brother in Lismore, Brother Gregory Sutton. Sutton was a serial paedophile and had served 12 years in prison for 67 sex crimes committed against children. This included 23 instances of sexual intercourse, 46 indecent assaults, seven acts of indecency and one gross act of indecency.
Sutton had been extradited to Australia after fleeing to the United States.
In 1997, Brother Anthony came forward to police with a list of Marist Brothers who were working alongside Sutton in Lismore in the 1980s – and O'Sullivan was on the list.
Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, O'Sullivan abused 27 students in Hamilton and Casino.
O'Sullivan was in his thirties when he started abusing his students. He worked at the Marist Brothers College in Hamilton from 1971 to 1972 and abused more than a dozen students.
As he walked around the classroom teaching technical drawing, he would touch the boys and slide his hands up their shorts. He would become aggressive when the boys asked questions.
"He would begin to walk quietly around the classroom for most of the period, the time of danger. Brother Dominic had complete physical power over me," a victim told the Judge Kate Traill in the Sydney District Court in 2016.
"Brother Dominic presented as very confident and urbane but would quickly descend into a deep and barely suppressed anger."
On other occasions, O'Sullivan would grope the genitals and buttocks of boys who were sent to his office for punishment, making them sit on his lap or bend over in front of him.
He would tell the boys they shouldn't have been sent to his office in the first place and it was their fault they were being abused.
Another victim said the school was like a "smorgasbord" for O'Sullivan.
"He would take you out of the classroom into a storeroom and he'd just go for it. He'd do it on the veranda where anyone could see. He'd push you up against the wall and when he was finished he'd take you back in and take another boy out," the victim said.
"It was like he had open slather. After what we heard at the royal commission, we now know that was true."
O'Sullivan's victims were from good Catholic families, so the boys were afraid to tell their parents about the abuse. One victim had the courage to tell his devout Catholic father about multiple instances of abuse and instead of going to the police, his father beat him with a torch.
Another student from the Hamilton school told the principal O'Sullivan had been touching him. The principal told the student O'Sullivan was just being friendly or it was an accident, then told the child to go back to class.
Many of O'Sullivan's victims are now living with mental health issues. One of his victims is now triggered by paper because O'Sullivan would touch students while they were doing their work in class, so he now hoards and has 20 years of mail tied up in bags.
Another student from Casino burnt his house down in a failed suicide attempt and told the Sydney District Court he'd experienced an intense mental breakdown at 19-years-old due to the abuse he experienced as a child.
In July 2013, O'Sullivan faced the Newcastle Local Court on eight charges involving four boys from the Marist Brothers College in Hamilton. News of O'Sullivan's court case attracted more allegations and in 2014, additional charges were laid against O'Sullivan regarding a victim from Casino.
In March 2016, O'Sullivan pleaded guilty to all charges and was sentenced to a maximum of six years in prison for crimes against 12 students. However, two years later O'Sullivan did a complete backflip in the Sydney District Court. O'Sullivan showed a complete lack of empathy for his victims and denied ever touching them, but instead claimed he had a "paternal interest" in them.
"I absolutely deny to this court, to her honour, that I have ever indulged in that sort of behaviour in all of my life," O'Sullivan claimed before Sydney District Court Judge Kate Traill.
O'Sullivan also agreed he signed a statement of facts detailing his criminal acts against the victims, but said "in my heart of hearts I don't believe all of that happened."
He also claimed to be "stressed and fearful" in prison because another inmate hit him with a loaf of bread. Judge Traill said this incident was "relatively minor" and sentenced him to another eight years in jail for crimes against a further 15 students.
In February 2019, O'Sullivan, now in his eighties, faced the Newcastle Local Court regarding further allegations from the 1970s, including two counts of indecent assault on a boy and three counts of indecent assault against another boy, both in Hamilton. He will face court again later in 2019.
O'Sullivan was allowed to slip through the cracks in the Marist Brothers school system. In 2016, the Royal Commission found the Marist Brothers cared so little about the allegations against O'Sullivan that he was almost made principal of the Marist Brothers College in Hamilton.
Maitland-Newcastle Catholic Bishop Michael Malone received complaints within hours of the appointment and called the Order to cancel it.
The Commission also heard from multiple Marist Brothers who claimed Malone knew about the allegations and moved O'Sullivan to other parishes to avoid trouble. In a Marist Brothers provincial council meeting, Malone claimed "Brother Dominic O'Sullivan is unable to go to Hamilton next year because of health reasons. Discussion on the possible replacement for Brother Dominic took place."
The commission decided Malone was attempting to hide the truth about O'Sullivan to protect the order. Malone claimed he had "no memory" of this, despite it being recorded in the council meeting minutes.
O'Sullivan was allowed to run rampant in New South Wales schools, even though the Marist Brothers knew full well what was going on. O'Sullivan was allowed to traumatise and ruin the lives of scores of children, and he wasn't punished until he was in his autumn years.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and United States President Barack Obama announced Tuesday two new initiatives mobilizing up to $1.4 billion to finance India's commitment to universal energy access.
Minigrids are renewable energy-based electricity generators that serve a set of consumers. They make up a major part of Modi's promise to provide electricity to all Indians by 2019. Many have asked whether minigrids could be the next big opportunity beyond the grid. And with this influx of capital, Modi is well-positioned to put that question to the test as he looks to power the more than 18,000 villages that currently lack electricity.
Because there are far less sustainable ways for India to meet its ambitious targets, part of the pathway to the global goal of universal access to electricity by 2030, the stakes are high and the world is watching.
"We believe that these remote areas which have been left out cannot be serviced with the regular grid," Tarun Kapoor, joint secretary of India's Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, said last week at EnergyAccessX, an event that took place in San Francisco as part of the annual Clean Energy Ministerial. He asked the audience to provide feedback on a draft national policy outlining how microgrids and minigrids can provide cost effective off-grid energy. "We will have a model of grid connected microgrids," he said.
As the policy acknowledges, while the world has seen tremendous growth of solar home systems in the developing world, barriers continue to stall the expansion of minigrids.
"When you look at the actual experience with minigrids, it's not just not as good as the potential, but many have massively underachieved," said Dan Kammen, a professor at the University of California, Berkeley and a U.S. Science Envoy.
Minigrids are a more obvious fit for areas where the concentration of homes and businesses is too far to connect to the existing grid but large enough to provide economies of scale. So it is harder for the minigrid sector to take off in countries with less population density, let alone less regulatory support, than India. Technological improvements and cost reductions have helped minigrids overcome some of the barriers they once faced, but development banks and aid donors play a key role in catalyzing the growth of the minigrid industry.
Scattered across the tables at EnergyAccessX were booklets from Sierra Club and Oil Change International giving international public finance a big red F for distributed clean energy access. The recommendations for multilateral development banks included increasing funding for off-grid and minigrid clean energy projects and moving beyond pilot projects to incorporate off-grid and minigrid lending into core energy portfolios.
Minigrids raise challenges that more traditional development donor investment practices are not always well adapted to confront, said Justin Guay, climate program officer at the David and Lucille Packard Foundation in San Francisco. This is due in part to a disconnect between the expertise and incentives of most development bank staff, who tend to focus on extensive due diligence for a small number of large projects, and the new opportunities to reach energy impoverished customers, which require numerous smaller investments with higher risk.
The Global Facility on Mini-Grids aims to remove the barriers constraining the expansion of low cost, clean energy minigrids in emerging markets, Malcolm Cosgrove-Davies, global lead for energy access at the World Bank, told Devex.
The group will host an event focused on minigrids in Nairobi, Kenya, later this month to evaluate successful minigrid projects. It will evaluate successful minigrid projects to understand what has worked from technology to policy to finance. Case studies might include the Infrastructure Development Company Limited program in Bangladesh, which has been called the most successful off-grid program in the world. Events such as these represent one way the global development community can rally market actors around a common vision and build momentum for minigrid market growth, said Kristina Skierka, campaign director of Power for All, a key organizer of EnergyAccessX.
For these success stories to scale in Africa, minigrids must rely on champions who can mobilize the money needed to bridge the market imperfections.
"I'm becoming increasingly obsessed with minigrids," said Andrew Herscowitz, coordinator for the United States government's Power Africa initiative. He said it is incumbent on donors and governments to give minigrids a chance to be a part of the solution beyond India. "We have to try," he said.
Herscowitz named two partners in Beyond the Grid, a Power Africa sub-initiative, as examples of companies that are demonstrating points of commercial viability across multiple places on the African continent. He mentioned Powerhive, which partners with utilities and independent power producers to provide microgrid electricity, and Virunga Power, which develops, invests in, and operates rural distribution grids.
In Tanzania, Devergy, which deploys minigrid systems for low income people in rural villages, is partnering with Simusolar, which provides and finances energy efficient appliances, to test out a combined offering of microgrid and off-grid systems. Michael Kuntz, the San Francisco-based co-founder of Simusolar, said this effort will serve as a case study for how the two approaches are complementary rather than competitive.
Similarly, he hopes the Indian government will provide data as it implements its micro-grid and minigrid policy. Its success will depend on the details, from how the system is designed and presented, to how incentives from stakeholders are aligned, to how the product life cycle is managed, Kuntz said.

Oh, 2020, you're finally over. And that can mean only one thing: it's time to award the annual Strong Language honors for excellence in swearing. This is the sixth year that we've bestowed the highly prestigious Tucker Awards. (You can take a walk down memory lane by checking out our previous roundups, from 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019.) Regular readers will know that the awards are named in honor of the patron saint of Strong Language, Malcolm Tucker, the super-sweary political spin doctor played by Peter Capaldi in the BBC series The Thick of It and the film In the Loop.
Even though series creator Armando Iannucci continues to maintain that The Thick of It won't be making a comeback, Tucker's spirit was alive and well in 2020. In fact, a clip from the show, with Tucker declaring "a fucking lockdown" in the office, was used as a public-service announcement by the BBC back in March soon after the U.K. government announced the first stay-at-home order of the pandemic.
The BBC is now running this as a public information film between some of its programmes. pic.twitter.com/L92EuU17nk

We can only imagine how Tucker would have handled this fucking omnishambles of a year. Let's get this shitshow on the road.
great moments in swearing, Tucker Awards
With the calendar turning on another year (and another decade), it's time once again for the annual Strong Language honors for excellence in swearing. For the past half-decade, Strong Language has been on the scene, tracking all the highlights in low language. (Check out our previous roundups from 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018.) As always, the awards are named in honor of the patron saint of Strong Language, Malcolm Tucker, the endlessly quotable antihero played by Peter Capaldi in the BBC political satire The Thick of It and the film followup In the Loop.
Lately, Capaldi has reunited with Armando Iannucci, the creator of The Thick of It (as well as the equally sweary Veep) in the new film The Personal History of David Copperfield. Even though a different Dickensian adaptation, BBC One's A Christmas Carol, managed to slip in some swearing, Capaldi's Mr. Micawber is obscenity-free, so we'll have to keep the spirit of Malcolm Tucker alive ourselves. As Malcolm would say, come the fuck in or fuck the fuck off.

With the passing of Scott Walker, who found pop-music fame as a member of the Walker Brothers before setting out on an inimitable solo career, the singer's best-known work has been making the rounds online. One particularly memorable song from Walker was his first solo single, "Jackie," released in December 1967. "Jackie" was an English-language rendering of Jacques Brel's "La chanson de Jacky," translated from French by Mort Shuman (a Brill Building songwriter who would go on to co-create the musical revue Jacques Brel is Alive and Well and Living in Paris). Both the French and English lyrics were quite racy for the time. The English chorus, as unforgettably delivered by Walker, goes:
If I could be for only an hour
If I could be for an hour every day
If I could be for just one little hour
African American English, ass, music, translationstupid-ass
New frontiers in the giving of fucks and shits

Back in December 2014 when the Strong Language blog was just starting out, Stephen Chrisomalis contributed a memorable post, "How many swears can we give?" In it, Stephen mused on a couple of memes — "Look At All The Fucks I Give" and "Not a Single Fuck Was Given That Day" — and traced the history of "(not) give a TABOO TERM" (damn, shit, fuck, etc.) as what linguists call a "negative polarity item." The following year, John Kelly posted about a newly popular idiom, "zero fucks given." (Zero fucks given or ZFG was also nominated in the Most Useful category in the American Dialect Society's 2015 Word of the Year voting.) Since then, there have been many more creative variations on the theme. Here are two humorous entries in the "no fucks/shits to give" genre that have popped up recently.
fuck, humour, shitgive a fuck, give a shit
It is once again my solemn duty to present the annual Strong Language honors for excellence in swearing, named for our patron saint Malcolm Tucker, Peter Capaldi's paragon of sweariness as seen on BBC's The Thick of It, the cinematic offshoot In the Loop, and countless YouTube montages ever since.
This is the fourth time the Tucker Awards have been bestowed on worthy recipients — feel free to take a stroll back in time and peruse the winners of 2015, 2016, and 2017. But as the calendar turns on 2018, let's get down to fucking business.


A new report commissioned by Welsh Government and published today on International Women's Day (March 8) seeks to find ways to encourage more girls and women in Wales to study STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) subjects and pursue careers in the science sector.
The report – entitled Talented Women for a Successful Wales – aims to tackle the critical shortage of women in STEM roles in Wales, and across the rest of the UK.
The 73-page report identifies the need for a sea change of attitude across society to break down existing barriers and create the skilled workforce needed to support the future economic growth of Wales. It is estimated that increasing the number of women in science across the UK could be worth £2bn to the national economy.
According to research, Wales currently has a shortfall of around 600 STEM academics which could be addressed directly by increasing the number of women in the relevant careers.
"The lack of women in STEM professions matters for their individual life chances as they are missing out on many well-paid and rewarding jobs.
"More broadly however it limits the talent available to our science base and businesses and is therefore a constraint on Wales' future economic prosperity.
The report recommends dealing with the under-representation and poor retention of women in STEM in Wales through four major themes of education, recruitment, retention and promotion.
The report was co-authored by Professor Karen Holford FLSW Pro Vice-Chancellor of Cardiff University, and Professor Hilary Lappin-Scott Pro Vice-Chancellor Swansea University. The Society was represented on the Working Group by Dr Sarah Morse, and a number of Fellows were also members.
"The science, technology, engineering and maths sectors are crucial to the success of Wales, making a major contribution to innovation, economic growth and the quality of public services.
"Women are outperforming men in education overall yet, still, more of them work in jobs requiring skills below their educational level. They are significantly under-represented in the STEM workforce; this is a waste of knowledge and talent.
The report found that relatively few girls study STEM subjects post age 16 and suggests recruiting more women into the workforce as graduates, through apprenticeships and other routes. It also states that statistics show women with a STEM degree are less likely to pursue a career in their area of expertise than their male counterparts.

Plenty Gorge Fire Recovery
A fire started in Plenty Gorge Park on 30 December 2019, starting at the Tanunda Wetlands area of the park. Approximately 65 hectares was burnt. The fire was attended by the CFA, MFB and staff from Forest Fire Management Victoria, including Parks Victoria. The area of park affected by the fire remains closed. Rehabilitation works are required to be carried out before the area can be reopened.
Recovery works update January 2021:
Works to rehabilitate more than 6 kilometres of containment line created during the bushfire will commence from 11th January 2021. These works will take up to 2 weeks to complete and will involve heavy machinery operating in the area.
While machinery is in operation, public access around the closed area will be temporarily restricted for visitor safety. Signage will be on site clearly showing areas the public must remain out of.
Once the works are complete, the entire fire affected area will be reopened to visitors, and Goldsworthy Lane will be reopened to vehicles.
What is closed due to the bushfire?
A section of the park south of Memorial Drive remains closed due to the fire event.
Trails in the north and east sections of Yellow Gum Picnic Area are now open, as are the shared concrete user trail to the south of the fire affected area and the area of the park north of Memorial Drive.
The area surrounding Goldsworthy Lane is open to the public, although the main gate remains closed to vehicle access. Please keep this in mind if visiting the park by car.
Fire Recovery Work
So far, most of the dangerous trees close to containment lines, vehicle tracks, mountain bike trails and walking tracks have been made safe. However, six kilometres of containment line needs to be rehabilitated before the area can be reopened. A cultural heritage permit is required to make sure that machinery is used in the most sensitive way, protecting aboriginal culture within the park. Once the permit is agreed upon on ground works will commence. While machinery is in operation, public access to a larger area will be temporarily restricted for visitor safety.
Keeping the area closed also gives the environment the best chance to recover, reducing local erosion and protecting important park values in these areas.
Environmental Recovery
There are some pockets of bush in yellowgum that have responded really positively to the bushfire, some areas have experienced mass germination of indigenous flora such as acacia's, eucalyptus, and burgen. These species have evolved with fire, and will grow rapidly, hopefully out-competing some the woody weeds in the area. Also, a number of orchid species have utilised the newly opened space made available by the fire and have popped up, including special species that are listed as threatened or endangered.
Parks Victoria is closely monitoring the weeds that have come up in the fire-affected area and working hard to prioritise and treat them. Rapid weed growth is an expected response to fire in bushland. Some weeds that have appeared since the fire, will naturally drop out of the system as the bush regenerates and the tree canopy repairs and shades them out (eg. Capeweed, whose bright yellow flowers can be seen everywhere in the fire-affected area at the moment). Other weeds will require targeted and sustained efforts to be treated (eg. boneseed and broom).
Unfortunately, recent ongoing vandalism of exclusion fences and orchid cages has had a significant impact on work that Parks Victoria is undertaking to protect threatened flora species in the area. Some of these flora species are extremely rare, and they are a very special community asset. If the vandalism continues, they may be lost forever. Parks Victoria is taking great care to make sure that these exclusion fences and cages are placed in areas that won't interfere with major mountain bike trails, or with peoples enjoyment of the park. If anyone sees any perpetrators of vandalism, or signs of vandalism, please take note of the time and location, and report it immediately to Parks Victoria at 131963.
Protecting Aboriginal Cultural Heritage
Wurundjeri people have, on a seasonal basis, visited the area now known as Plenty Gorge Park for tens of thousands of years. The fire and its suppression work have exposed important, and previously unregistered cultural material that is associated with this occupation.
Parks Victoria has engaged a Cultural Heritage Advisor with assistance from Wurundjeri to survey the affected area. Unregistered cultural material located during the survey has now been formally registered, preserving local aboriginal history for future generations.
Mountain Bikes in the Fire Impacted Area
Mountain bikes can cause erosion in areas where the ground is already unstable. Preventing mountain bikes from entering this area not only protects riders from unknown hazards, but also protects the ground from further erosion.
With the assistance and ongoing support of the Plenty Gorge Mountain Bike Club some trails in the north and east areas of Yellow Gum Picnic Area were reopened earlier in the year. Trails that remain closed for now are clearly signed on site. Please respect these closures.
Once bulldozer-built containment line has been rehabilitated, the project funded by the Victorian Government's Pick My Project program to formalise up to 20 kilometres of mountain bike trails in the park can recommence.
https://pickmyproject.vic.gov.au/rounds/pick-my-project/ideas/plenty-gorge-park-mountain-bike-trail-program
Volunteer and community groups have continued to express interest in helping with the recovery effort in
the park. Opportunities to help with recovery works will be communicated once fire affected areas are open
again, and COVID 19 restrictions are lifted.
