Directions - Access is via Ravensthorpe-Hopetoun Rd to the turnoff for Hamersley Drive that will take you into the park. Hamersley Drive is paved all the way past West Beach and the car park for East Mount Barren is on the right hand side of the road.
The Hike - With one Barren already in the collection I was excited to complete the set (at least the ones you are allowed to climb) and after driving into the eastern end of the park over Culham Inlet and seeing East Mount Barren in all of its magnificence, my eagerness grew. My plan was to hike this one nearer to sunset to allow for better photographs and I'm really glad I waited. We set up camp at Four Mile Beach and headed for a swim at Barrens Beach where, as I mentioned in my Sepulcralis Hill write-up, it allowed me to make peace with the last Barren before jumping into the hike (plus it was just a little bit relaxing in the warm sun).
With an underwhelming hike at Sepulcralis Hill completed, Caris and I drove to the car park for East Mount Barren and what would hopefully be a much better experience (spoiler: it was). The car park was empty when we arrived, unexpected given it was near the Easter break and it looked quite busy as we drove past less than an hour earlier. This just meant that we had the place to ourselves and could enjoy the hike without coming across another soul (we are both weird people-avoiding introverts). Just like West Mount Barren there are a few opportunities to frame the mountain in your photographs with some Banksias and Royal Hakea aka Traffic Light Bush Kale. With that out the way we started proceedings with a good scrub of the boots at the dieback station and a walk along the boardwalk section that protects the recovering scrub. The gentleness of the boardwalk doesn't last long and you are faced with just over a kilometre of bright quartzite and sandstone to scramble over and admire.
With its close proximity to both the coast and several notable mountainous features, namely the Whoogarup Range to the west and the Eyre Range to the north, there is no shortage of viewpoints to admire as you climb up and up. The climbing thankfully is broken up into stages and each little section offers something unique to look at or switches your focus onto something entirely new. For the first section you climb up to a series of jagged rocks with the view back towards the Whoogarup Range, Mileys Beach and the Hamersley Inlet providing a pleasant distraction. As we reached the first of the rocky features the clouds started gathering to the west and I was hoping that they didn't become overly thick as the reason I chose this hike at this time was the potential for an epic sunset. Having already seen the highlight gallery up the top of the page I think you know how this story ends but the early cloud cover started filtering the light perfectly with rays of sunshine breaking through and livening up an already great start.
A gap in the rocks provides passage into the second section of the hike that offers a more expansive (and flatter) landscape so you can enjoy the views without feeling so much burn in the legs. From here you get better ocean views to the south and the first glimpse of the summit of East Mount Barren. There is still a little bit of climbing up to the plateau of the hike where you will be rewarded with more views back towards the west and the final rocky section you must tackle in order to reach the summit. Along the way there are several plant species to admire and even though it wasn't peak season I still got to enjoy a pop of colour from some early wildflowers. Caris was enjoying the flatter terrain and I couldn't stop taking photographs in the changing light as every turn or elevation change provided a better view or a different angle. I ended the day with just under 600 shots and could have edited every single one of them for the fun of it.
A thicket of scrub and trees hides the rock wall that you eventually hit and when you do it isn't exactly clear to start with where the path is meant to take you. We admired the golden hue of the impressive rock face and located the correct path to the left of the wall. Leading up what looks like a scene from Indiana Jones, Caris wasn't confident she would enjoy scrambling up the rocks and decided to enjoy a rest here while I continued onto the third and final section. The narrow passage leading to the summit requires a tiny bit of scrambling but I was able to do it with my camera still in hand so it isn't too much of an obstacle. There are various little nooks and crannies that I admired and tried to photograph but I really wanted to see what the views were like from the summit so pushed on. What awaited me was nothing short of spectacular with amazing 360 degree views and some great vantage points to soak it all in from.
Climbing up one of the rock spires I was able to see the Eyre Range to the north, Whoogarup Range and the Mid Barrens to the west (featuring more golden sunshine peaking through the clouds), the gently rippled Southern Ocean to the south and for the first time, Culham Inlet and Hopetoun to the east. Having driven over the Culham Inlet when we entered the park and being suitably impressed I was looking forward to seeing it from above and was not disappointed with the result. Better views can be seen by following the rocks further to the east and with the arrival of a barefooted Frenchman to the summit I did just that so he could have the rock spires all to himself. As I made my way back to the spires he asked if I could take a photo of him with his camera and showed off his parkour abilities jumping from rock to rock to retrieve his camera. I took some shots of him silhouetted against the setting sun that I hope he liked and made my way back down to Caris so we could begin the journey back.
Now facing the setting sun, the return leg was a joy with the transformation of the landscape from blues and greens to filtered oranges and eventually some amazing purple hues. The winds in the valley had picked up and had scattered dust and sand like mist rolling through the hills. Add in the golden light showering the land and I was enjoying every second. We spotted our first bit of mammal life that wasn't located in the campsites or seen when driving as a kangaroo hopped away just after the plateau section. We both watched each other carefully and the result was a stalemate until we moved on and finished the hike. With the start of the hike still being raised above the rest of the landscape I was lucky to be able to get some parting shots of the Royal Hakea near the boardwalk as the sun was peaking right above the Whoogarup Range. Another kangaroo sighting plus catching sight of the moon rising over the summit capped off a great hike and we returned to the campsite blasting "I Still Call Australia Home" by the Qantas choir as we drove along the winding roads below East Mount Barren. Hard not to love this sunburnt country after that experience.
Final Thoughts - I've been very fortunate during my time travelling the state for this website to come across plenty of "right place, right time" moments as I call them. This was another one of those moments even though it was timed to put myself in the best position for such an occurrence.
East Mount Barren may look pretty simple on paper and even as you drive around the base you may not think it has a lot of variety but it's a hike of many characters. Split into three different sections allows for three different experiences and was certainly the best hike we did on the trip by a long way, even discounting the amazing photographic conditions.
Once again Fitzgerald River National Park delivers on the promise of being one of the best national parks in Australia with a challenging but not unattainable hike for the average tourist. To have the trail pretty much to ourselves was a blessing and being able to enjoy those views was a great privilege.
One day I will return and enjoy the September wildflower display, I'm not sure I would have had enough adjectives if I got this sunset along with a million different wildflowers to admire.
This is one day I won't be forgetting as long as I live and hopefully you get a similar experience when you visit (hint - do this at sunset too).
Get out there and experience it!

One of the pleasing things about the annual Tate Britain Commission is the diversity and strength of work produced for the Duveen Galleries, where it is shown. For some artists, these grandiose barrel-vaulted galleries, stretching for more than 100 yards, could be overwhelming. Yet most of those invited have managed to assert their identities. Michael Landy presented a semi-detached, pebbledash-fronted house there in 2004. Four years later, Martin Creed sent sprinters hurtling through the galleries every 30 seconds.
Not all of the commissions have been a success: Simon Starling's film Phantom Ride (2013), which visualised famous artworks previously exhibited in the Duveen Galleries, had the torpor of a corporate video. It makes the invention of the latest commission, by the 69-year-old British sculptor Phyllida Barlow, all the more winning.
Dock 2014 is a vast, sprawling work: seven separate, yet interrelated, colossal structures and sculptures, all loosely inspired by the view from Tate Britain's Millbank entrance of barges laden with big containers floating along the "black, shiny, coiling surface" of the Thames.
The first piece is typical of Barlow's approach. Within a large, tangled timber frame – tacked together with crisscrossing struts and joists like the jerry-built scaffolding of some demented rollercoaster – hefty industrial-grade orange and black cords suspend five tumbling blocks the size of shipping containers.
Dark and barnacled on the outside, these appear to swing through the lumber above our heads like wrecking balls demolishing a house. The cladding of the one closest to the ground is torn, revealing a chaotic scene within of mangled polystyrene, foam, and bristling black plastic cable ties.
I had no idea that cable ties could be made artistically interesting, but somehow Barlow, who relishes working with surprising, overlooked materials such as cement or tarpaulin sheets, pulls off this trick.
With its rudimentary force and eccentric energy, this sculpture provides a self-conscious contrast with the neoclassical surroundings. So do the other works in the series. At the far end, another crane-like timber scaffold supports a cylindrical shape, like a section of railway tunnel. In between, a ramshackle, 30ft-high staircase constructed out of packing crates leads nowhere.
There is a tower, similar in height and girth to one of the galleries' pillars, but covered in crumpled cardboard and bright orange, yellow and pink tape – like an impractical package ready to be picked up by a courier. It is a joke at the expense of the phallic certainty of monumental architecture.
If I had to define Barlow's aesthetic, I would describe her as the mistress of the splodge. Her unruly sculptures are never pristine, precious objects, but instead wilfully rough-around-the-edges, slapped together out of lightweight, throwaway materials: plywood, polystyrene, foam, felt. Parts of Dock 2014 put me in mind of a frayed old armchair with the springs and stuffing showing. What I admire about Barlow is that she isn't afraid to let it all hang out.
Occasionally, the chaos threatens to evade the ordering eye of the artist. Yet Barlow dramatises the central sculptural tension between form and formlessness in a manner more exciting and dangerous than most living artists. Indeed, her madcap efforts make those of the sculptor Richard Deacon, exhibiting elsewhere in Tate Britain, appear slightly tight. And, despite her messiness, Barlow achieves a sense of cohesion here through uniformity of colours and materials, including an abundance of orange and cheap natural wood.
As you walk among the sculptures of Dock 2014, inspecting their undersides, you may dislike the way they look, but you couldn't deny their honesty or vitality. There is no conceptual gimmickry, but instead a microcosm of the multitudinous city outside: a world of rapid construction and exchange that cannot be neatly articulated, especially by the language of abstract sculpture.
Barlow is game to have a go – and the results are some achievement.

Net wage in Romania moves up in November to catch up with inflation
By Iulian Ernst in Bucharest January 14, 2022
The average net wage in Romania rose by 2.8% m/m in November to RON3,645 (€736.5) in one of the highest monthly increases over the past couple of years.
The advance, even if it seems to reflect volatile elements in November, is likely to further be encouraged by the rising inflation that has eroded households' real incomes.
In real terms, the average net wage in November was 0.9% smaller than it was in the same month of 2020. It was the third month in a row when the net wage posted a negative real annual change.
The deterioration was prompted by the sharp rise in consumer prices, as the headline inflation doubled from 3.9% y/y in June to 7.8%-7.9% y/y in October-November.
The volatile activity in some industries will generate more ample variations in the employees' incomes from a month to another until the production chains return to the pre-crisis smooth functioning.
In November, for instance, the wages in automobile production increased by 19% m/m after subdued activity (hence wages) in the previous months.
Overall, however, the pressures for pushing up the nominal wages in order to keep pace with the inflation and energy bills is likely to tighten.
Consumers' weaker confidence has already surfaced in the retail sales figures: the seasonally adjusted sales of non-food items contracted by 5% from April to November.
Unemployment was up 0.12pp m/m but down 0.81pp y/y.
The 21-share blue-chip CROBEX index has been rising since the start of the year as Croatia's economy continues its recovery from the coronacrisis.
New records announced daily in several countries, but most governments are reluctant to introduce new restrictions.
Russian IPOs hit record in 2021, M&As down 40%
The Russian initial public offering (IPO) market in 2021 hit a record $3.7bn, the highest since 2011, RBC business portal reported citing the data by Refinitiv. At the same time, the M&A market was down by 40% in 2021.
With inflation expected to climb further to 10% y/y in January-February, at least one more interest rate increase is virtually certain.

Expert Advice on Evaluating Lockdown Systems: 7 Critical Questions to Ask
May 14, 2019 /0 Comments/in active shooter protection, Lockdown System, School Safety Solution /by SafeDefend
School shootings continue to make headlines. They continue to inspire outrage, horror, shock, and disbelief. And they continue to take lives, tragically, and far more often than they should. Even though these events remain relatively rare, they have an outsized impact on our hearts, minds, and imaginations, and it is incumbent upon every decision-maker tasked with protecting children's lives to ensure that their district's lockdown system is as effective as possible.
To help you take stock of your current lockdown system and emergency action notification plan, we've assembled a list of the most important questions you can ask to assess a system's capabilities. Though very few school districts today have emergency lockdown systems that meet all the best-practice guidelines, choosing a lockdown system about which you can answer 'yes' to as many of these questions as possible will ensure you're making students safer with respect to some of today's most serious threats.
#1: Does the system provide all the notifications that it should, and provide them simultaneously?
An emergency action notification system should be capable of alerting police or law enforcement, people in the affected building, and the school's administration and staff.
It should be able to provide these alerts in a single step, rather than having them occur in multiple phases. It's important that, for instance, school administrators not be required to disseminate alert information within the building, since this step takes extra time and introduces a possible point of failure into the notification process.
#2: Is the system able to issue all these alerts and notifications without demanding too much effort from teachers or administrators, or putting them in danger?
Notification and alerting systems that require access codes will fail in times of crisis. It takes too long to activate them and access codes tend to be forgotten in moments of stress or panic. Intercom or telephone-based systems involve multiple steps that slow down response time and can place teachers or administrators in harm's way if the phone is in an exposed location.
#3: Does the system inform students of what they should do?
An emergency lockdown system that broadcasts the alert's location provides students with the information they need to decide whether they should attempt to escape or find a hiding spot. Because every active shooter emergency situation is different, this simple contextual information can make it easier to make lifesaving decisions rapidly.
#4: Does the lockdown system give teachers the tools to protect their students?
We know that heroic teachers have given their lives while trying to protect their classrooms. It's vital that an emergency lockdown system includes simple tools that can enhance teachers' ability to defend themselves in life-threatening situations.
#5: How quickly can classroom doors be secured?
If your system doesn't include quick locking capabilities, the next-best thing is to keep classroom doors locked at all times. Doors should lock from the inside, not the outside, as is typical in many school buildings. Outside door locks force teachers to step into a potentially dangerous situation in the hallway in order to protect their classrooms and require extra time as well. Key-operated locks are the least desirable type to use for securing classrooms.
#6: Is decentralized, remote access to the notification system available? Can law enforcement easily bypass any access controls that are in place?
Not only should the emergency lockdown system notify local police, but school resource officers and local law enforcement should also be granted automatic and ready access to the building and the system's controls.
#7: Does the system include trauma response capabilities?
Gunshot victims who might otherwise survive their injuries can die from uncontrolled bleeding within five to ten minutes. Tourniquets, dressings, and the use of proper techniques to stop bleeding will save many of these lives. An active shooter emergency response system should include access to bandages, hemostatic dressings, and instructions on emergency wound care.
We understand that active shooter emergency situations are rare events. Despite this, their potential consequences are unimaginably severe, and everything possible should be done to prevent them. The truth is that your lockdown system will likely never be activated, but you need to have the best tools available for every classroom, just in case.

The Biggest Problem with Current School Safety Solutions
April 12, 2019 /0 Comments/in active shooter protection, Lockdown System, School Safety Solution /by SafeDefend
When we look back at the three deadliest school shootings of 2018, one similarity they all share is obvious: none of the school safety solutions that the districts had in place at the time did what they were supposed to do. These shootings occurred in Marshall County, Kentucky, where there were two deaths (and an additional 14 injuries); in Santa Fe, Texas, where ten people died (with 12 more injured); and in Parkland, Florida, where there were 17 deaths (with an additional 17 people injured).
All three schools had security protocols at the time of the shootings. All had surveillance cameras on campus. All had access control systems, and each had a school resource officer or other trained security staff member on their grounds. And yet all were scenes of tremendous bloodshed.
One thing is clear: all three school security solutions failed to protect the students who'd entrusted their lives to them.
And yet, in the wake of these tragedies, all three school districts have promised to strengthen their defenses by doing more of the same things that didn't work before.
Santa Fe High School has hired additional resource officers, outfitted the school's front vestibule with bulletproof glass, and installed metal detectors and automatic electronic door locks at entrances. Had these extra precautions been in place at the time of the shooting, the perpetrator, a current student, would still have been allowed to enter the school.
Marshall County High School has banned backpacks in its classrooms, installed metal detectors, and hired four additional school resource officers to patrol its halls.
And, after the deadliest school shooting in U.S. history, Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School has increased the amount of fencing on its campuses, the number of video cameras in its security system, and the number of armed guards on school grounds. Even though an armed officer present at the time of the shooting failed to confront the perpetrator.
It's Time to Change How We Think About School Safety Solutions
The biggest problem with current school safety solutions is simple. They don't work.
What's needed instead is a shift in mindset.
When we think about securing our school buildings, we often model our solutions on protocols developed by the federal government. When adhered to strictly and diligently, these protocols can be incredibly effective.
But school buildings don't operate the way government offices do. The same systems designed to keep an intruder out of a courthouse won't work to exclude an angry student from a classroom. And more than 86% of school shooters are students at the school where the violence takes place.
Access Control Systems Aren't Keeping the Threat Out
Fundamentally, access control systems cannot solve this problem because the threat is already inside. This isn't how we'd like to think about the environment where our children spend the majority of their days. We'd rather imagine that we can keep the dangers out.
By nature and by design, school communities are their strongest and most vibrant when buildings can be accessed at all hours of the day and night. From early morning swim practice to evening choir rehearsal, and from weekend football games to robotics tournaments, students benefit both academically and socially from participating in extracurricular activities.
Maintaining strict access control policies for all doors at all hours is neither cost-effective nor practical. And adopting a "lockdown" mentality sets kids on the wrong emotional path.
A New Model for Notification & Response
To create real change, we need to adopt a decentralized model for notification and response—one that operates at the classroom level rather than for entire buildings and campuses.
It's vital that we empower teachers to take action, creating systems that will speed the process of locking down individual classrooms. No active shooter has ever breached a locked interior door, so giving teachers the tools they need to secure their classrooms more quickly and dynamically can save lives.
It's also essential that we improve teachers' ability to notify law enforcement officials and first responders quickly and accurately. Just as today's fire alarm systems automatically inform firefighters about the exact location of the alert, we need systems that will instantly inform responding officers of the shooter's whereabouts.
In all three of the shootings mentioned above, miscommunication or incorrect dispatch information slowed response times, costing law enforcement officers vital minutes that, in a crisis situation, can make the difference between life and death.

5 Critical Things a Lockdown System Must Do
March 25, 2019 /0 Comments/in Lockdown System, School Safety Solution /by Safe Defend
For many parents, educators, and communities, 2018 was a year of heartbreak. That year, 113 people were killed or injured in school shootings in the United States. According to the Center for Homeland Defense & Security, it was the worst year on record.
Yet, with school shootings receiving media attention for over a decade, the majority of these districts already had school safety solutions in place at the time of their incident. Many had lockdown procedures, and some had practiced active shooter response training. But not all such plans are truly effective.
What should you keep in mind if you want to be certain that the school safety solution you're considering will actually protect the children in your classrooms? Here are five critical factors to consider when you're comparing lockdown systems.
1. The lockdown system should notify law enforcement directly and immediately.
In some of the most tragic school shootings of 2018, the response was delayed because law enforcement officials were given confusing or conflicting information. It's critical that first responders be accurately informed of the shooter's exact location—right down to the room number—and the faster they receive this information, the sooner they can intervene.
Systems that centralize reporting and response—for instance, where the front office calls 911 or orders a lockdown—introduce delays. When it comes to active shooter response protocols, speed saves lives, making automatic and instant notification of law enforcement a must-have.
2. The lockdown system must alert all building occupants.
In many school shooting situations, deaths occur in hallways or common areas outside of classrooms. If students and faculty are relying on a P.A. system that only broadcasts into classrooms, lifesaving information may be missed.
Look for a school safety solution that will immediately notify all building occupants directly—including students who are visiting their lockers or using the restroom. Its alert should be clearly audible and visually identifiable from anywhere in the building.
3. The lockdown system should provide clear and relevant information to staff.
Not all school shooting situations are the same, and not all demand the same response. In order for school officials to assess the situation correctly, they need to know exactly what type of threat they are dealing with and exactly where it is located. Having accurate real-time information improves school employees' and administrators' ability to manage the chaos of a crisis situation.
Staff and faculty need to know where in the building the alert was first sounded. If text and email notifications can be sent out within seconds, teachers can avoid the area of potential violence. They can also determine whether it'd be better to evacuate the building or remain barricaded in—depending on how close to the threat they're located.
In a crisis, having too much information can be just as detrimental as having too little. Identifying the building, address, and room number is sufficient for everyone to decide whether to attempt to flee the structure or remain barricaded in the classroom.
4. A school safety solution needs to help teachers respond to the situation and protect their students.
It's vital that we empower the school staff and faculty members whose lives will be on the line to take action. With tools in hand that can help them keep their students safe, they'll be less fearful and better prepared.
In Sandy Hook Elementary School, three teachers and staff members died while diving in front of children, using their bodies as human shields. By providing educators with protection options during an attack in the classroom, we give them another tactic for protecting their students from harm if the barricade is compromised.
Gunshot wounds can cause catastrophic bleeding, and without intervention, the victim may not live more than five to eight minutes. Applying direct pressure or a tourniquet immediately can dramatically improve survival rates, so it's critical to keep a trauma kit accessible. Life-extending trauma support is needed in order for police to stabilize the scene before paramedics can enter and tend to the wounded.
5. The lockdown system must have built-in controls that dictate who can and cannot activate it.
Active shooter (armed school intruder) situations are far more common than they should be, but they're still rare in comparison to bullying and pranks. Because activating a school safety solution has serious consequences and produces a significant response, it must have robust access controls to ensure that it's not set off accidentally, maliciously, or as a joke.
When it comes to school security, there's no simple solution that will solve all problems. What's needed instead is a multi-layered approach that combines awareness, training, and simple tools that encourage response and speed up notification and alerting.
The SafeDefend System was designed to include all these components to help schools and organizations protect students and staff when seconds and minutes count. To learn more about how it can be put to work to protect your school and community, contact us today.

The Long Road toward Truth and Reconciliation
Unwavering Attempts to Achieve Justice in South Korea
Author: Kim Dong-Choon
All East Asian countries have suffered in the shadows of the cold war conflict, but few have confronted their dark past as squarely as Korea. Korea, thanks to the TRCK and the efforts of other past-dealing commissions, is the first country in Northeast Asia to confront its dark past during the cold war in such a comprehensive manner. Korea's initial attempts to overcome the legacy of Japanese colonialism were brought to a halt by cold war conflicts. The failure to secure historical justice during the state-building era led to more atrocities by state authorities, and as the state elites consolidated their power, further efforts at justice were discouraged. While the ideological conflicts of the cold war impeded Koreans' efforts to uncover the truth about their past, South Korea's strong democratization movements finally overcame those obstacles and began addressing the long suffering of Korea's victims. The establishment of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, Republid of Korea (TRCK) was an achievement of democratization. The TRCK's mission was to confront the sufferings of the colonial rules of Japan, the indescribable losses of civilian lives from massacres during the war, the human rights abuses under the authoritarian regimes, a search for the truth, and finally to achieve justice. The TRCK's work shows that the people's long struggles for truth can bear tangible fruits of justice. But the tasks remain unfinished, because cases of truth-finding remain unresolved and it is uncertain that the government will implement the TRCK's recommendations, such as offering formal apologies, starting reparative processes.

NOTED EXHIBITIONS:
The Other Art Fair – Global Virtual Edition – Presented by Saatchi Art
b. Georgetown, Guyana, South America
As a child, Sobo lived steps from the famous Sea Wall in South America. In grade school, her family moved to Toronto, Ontario. It was there that she flourished in the visual arts.
She studied Business Management at college and worked in the financial sector. Eventually, Sobo wound up on a path that led her back to the arts.
From a chance meeting, she became a professional recording engineer and songwriter. Sobo has since co-written songs with an Award Winning Music Producer that have charted in both Canada and the U.S.
Some of these songs have been featured on hit television shows worldwide including "America's Next Top Model"(ABC), "NUMB3RS" (CBS), "My Super Sweet Sixteen" (Mtv), "Next" (Mtv), "Pimp My Ride" (Mtv), "Hit The Floor" (BET), etc…
She's had her artwork displayed in multiple venues in North America and Asia.
With a principle focus on abstract, Sobo seems to consistently capture the essence of the human condition in her works. With a style that varies from the layering of colour to vibrant palette knife painting, she continues to grow in style and confidence with each new work. She also incorporates the tropical hues of her childhood bringing an effervescent, yet visceral feeling to the viewer.

I am most inspired by the great abstract artists of the 20th century including Rothko, Diebenkorn, De Kooning, and Frankenthaler, but I also appreciate Basquiat, Matisse, Picasso and Klimt to name a few.
I enjoy the carving, mixing and layering of paint to create texture and depth. I feel a fusion of energy when I am behind the canvas.
I feel there is a freedom of flow and dimension created when colors intermingle and merge together. Painting allows me to "bring to life" feelings and ideas that I transfer to the surface.

Based on ancient Athens system of writing someone you don't like on a piece of pottery, also known as Ostracism, I introduce you this game. Ostracism.
In this game you won't see many people lynched by logic.
Its a contest of witty and humourous speeches and favouratism.
Because in this game, All voting are done in private!
You won't know who voted for who. Only how many.
Heres more in depth detail of the game.
-Mafia gets 1 kill every night.
-All votings are done in private during the day phase. Once the vote is submitted, one is not allowed to change it.
-Identity of the dead will be revealed at the start of day phase.
So basically its classical mafia except you won't know who voted for who.


Puri Jagannath has been going through tough times as a filmmaker and he is unable to find his old form again.
But he is trying to figure out a way to establish his son, Akash Puri as a hero. With his connections he is trying to make sure that he gets all the publicity for his son.
He himself made a film, Mehbooba and the movie became a disaster. Now, he wrote a script for his son and Anil Paduri is directing it.
Movie is titled Romantic and Nandamuri Kalyanram gave first clap to the film. It is a new-age love story with a different screenplay, it seems.
Jr. NTR and Kalyanram have been friends with the director from some time and even though Kalyanram's film with Puri failed, the actor graced the event and showed how much he values friendship.

No automatic right of deferral to be offered in semester one exams
There will be a deferral session in early February for Covid-positive students and close contacts only
Kate Henshaw and Bella Salerno
There is to be no automatic deferral to be offered to students for semester one exams, in contrast to last year.
In an email to all students this afternoon, College outlined the updated regulations in place for semester one assessments.
Students will be permitted to defer "online or in person examinations for Covid-related or other medical reasons" only, and "no record of deferral will appear on your transcript" in this case.
Students who "contract Covid", "display symptoms", or "are a close contact", "must not attend an in-person exam or sit an online exam on campus", and should "contact either [their] Tutor or Course Director as soon as possible".
It is also possible that "if you fall ill with something else, you may not be able to sit an online examination in a private setting".
The deferral session for Michaelmas term exams is to take place from February 7 to February 19 for Covid-positive students and close contacts. Contingency dates of February 21 to February 26 have also been allocated for the deferral period.
Deferred exams will be scheduled for " late afternoons, evenings or weekends" within the deferral period and "consideration will be given to other factors such as existing teaching or lecture requirements, to minimise the impact on students and staff whenever possible".
Students availing of these deferrals must "provide a copy/screen shot of the text message confirming the positive PCR Covid result from the HSE ensuring that the date is displayed".
"If it's the case that there were no available slots for a PCR test within these three days, students must submit proof with a screenshot."
Students who are living in a residence with a confirmed positive case "must restrict [their] movements until [they] have 3 negative antigen test results within 5 days".
Students looking to defer from the February reassessment, or who fail during that period, may resit the exams in the autumn.
Failed examinations from December or January will also be retaken in the autumn reassessment session.
Students requiring in-person examination for professional accreditation reasons or because their exams are lab-based "will be informed by your module coordinator" if those exams need to be "deferred for all students to the deferral session"
"If students cannot submit continuous assessment assignments for Covid-related or other reasons, [they] should contact [their] Tutor or Course Director to agree a revised submission date": the email stated.

Proposal from Gov. Dayton Could Make Area Schools Safer
A proposal from Minnesota Governor Mark Dayton could make schools across the region safer if it's approved.
Governor Dayton unveiled a $21 million plan today in an attempt to boost school safety, some of which would go to area schools.
The plan includes money for building safety measures alongside mental health services for students who need help. Dayton also touched on the 21 threats against Minnesota schools since the Parkland, Florida shooting, with multiple across east central Minnesota. Some of the local threats include the occurrence at North Branch High School where a 17-year-old is being charged with a felony.
You can see which local schools would receive the funds by clicking here.
For more on Dayton's proposal, a fact sheet is available here.

Whichever of our wide range of holiday cottages in Mid Wales you choose, you're guaranteed a wonderful break in the very heart of Wales. From the Welsh Marches on the border with England to the excellent choice of beaches on the coast, there's all you need for the perfect holiday.
Our cottages in Mid Wales are ideally placed for the natural wonders of Cardigan Bay, home to a sizeable community of bottlenose dolphins, as well as a wide variety of other wildlife. Outdoor lovers should also take a trip to the wild Brecon Beacons and the remote countryside around the Elan Valley, an amazing series of man-made lakes. And if you're keen on sailing, set course for New Quay, home of the Cardigan Bay Regatta.
Make sure you pay a visit to Aberystwyth during your Mid Wales cottage holiday. Once known as the "Biarritz of Wales", it is now a lively university town. The Devil's Bridge, a famous beauty spot is nearby. The fabulous gardens of Powis Castle are also within reach of our Mid Wales holiday cottages, as is Hay-on-Wye, famous for its large number of bookshops and annual literary festival.
If you want a holiday with incredible beauty, wildlife, cultural heritage, National Trails, festivals and pretty spa and market towns Mid Wales is for you. Recently the Brecon Beacons has been designated an International Dark Sky reserve so great for nocturnal animals and star gazers too! There's a fabulous choice of self-catering accommodation across the region so you can choose to be near a town or village or much more rural if you want to get away from it all. Look out for red kites, the Official Bird of Wales which was once on the brink of extinction, a visit to the Gigrin Red Kite Feeding Centre offers a rare glimpse into its natural habitat.
There are many annual events and festivals in the county the most famous perhaps being the literary and arts festival in Hey-on-Wye. Music lovers need to head for the Brecon Jazz Festival or the Green Man in Glanusk Cardigan/Ceredigion and the beautiful Cardigan Bay in West Wales are known for their stunning scenery and wildlife. The town is a gateway to the Teifi Valley and the Ceredigion and Pembrokeshire Coastal Paths. It remains unspoilt with a rich history, thriving culture of arts and crafts plus annual events and music festivals. You can watch dolphins in the bay, take a walk along the coast and do some bird watching, or sample the local traditional food and drink.
The largest county in Wales is the 'Ancient Kingdom of Powys running from Snowdonia in the north, the Cambrian Mountains in the west to the Brecon Beacons in the south. It's the least populated county in Wales so perfect if you want to relax and unwind in one of the many holiday cottages. Most of the region is hilly with lush green scenery and a great variety of flora and fauna to discover. Must see attractions include Powis Castle and Gardens, Lake Vyrnwy and Ellan Valley reservoirs and take a ride on the Cambrian or Heart of Wales railway. For the walkers there are the Glyndwr's Way and Offa's Dyke National Trails taking in magnificent scenery. If you fancy a day underground head for Dan-yr-Ogof, the National Showcaves Centre for Wales.

In this novel by an Austrian writer, children with a mysterious condition -- Indigo syndrome -- cause those who come near to suffer from nausea, dizziness, diarrhea. Some parents send their so-called "I-children" to an experimental boarding school, where they encounter a teacher and writer named Clemens J. Setz. The novel's irreverence -- Batman is a frequent reference -- undercuts its efforts to create an air of intrigue, but the questions it raises regarding empathy and loneliness are explored in moving and idiosyncratic ways. Setz's ostracized characters can empathize even with a fluorescent bulb: "It had waited so long for someone to finally stand under it, and now everything pent up in it burst out at once."

Q: Looking for a way to notify a user if they have been disconnected from the internet for long periods of time as the title says I am looking for a good way to send a notification to a windows user if the machine has been disconnected from the internet for long periods of time (14+ days).
These are industrial machines running Win 10 LTSB basically in kiosk mode for extended periods. I'm looking for a way to prompt the user to connect to the internet and check for windows updates if they haven't done so in the past two weeks.
Currently my solution is a bit wonky but works. I use scheduled powershell scripts to accomplish it. One script logs the date every time a user connects, and another logs every time it disconnects. A third runs every hour to compare the two and the current date and will display a message to the user if it's been 14+ days since the last disconnect.
I'm wondering if there is a better way to do this. Thanks!

A: I guess you are running this as a Scheduled task triggered by the network event on connect/disconnect. However this would rely on Event Logger which I wouldn't rely on for a machine that never restarts.
Instead, why don't you continue the same way but run only 1 powershell script. Ex. task running once everyday at 9Am. Script pings google.com or 8.8.8.8 if success write value "0" to some.txt file, if ping fails -> read value from some.txt and add + 1.
So value would now become 1, if value was 4 now it becomes 5 and so on. After adding 1 check if new value is higher than 14 then notify user (via error promot/alert or email..). Or run it twice a day then last statement becomes if value higher than 28 do this... Or as often as you prefer.
I'm sure there is other methods or software to do this but I think this would be the most reliable way. It would never fail for long term use.

The Brave Announce AURA Album Tour featuring Pridelands
After revealing their sophomore record Aura in April, Brisbane metallers The Brave are amping up the momentum with the announcement of a national headline tour throughout August. The album garnered a whopping 9/10 rating from Discovered Magazine, nabbed compliments from Hysteria ("gritty, vulnerable and full of visceral emotion") and Wall of Sound ("a true demonstration of well-written music") and has amassed over half a million Spotify streams in its debut month.
Already a live force in their own right, The Brave are also set to bring Pridelands on the road as supports, cementing this tour as an absolute monster.
"Taking 'Aura' on the road is a very exciting prospect for us. To demonstrate these songs in the setting we envisioned when writing the album is, in a nutshell, why we play music," says the band of the tour announcement.
"We are continually striving to enhance the live experience of our music, and better ourselves as musicians along the way. This album tour will encompass the accumulation of over a year of preparation and growth as a band – with a live performance and atmosphere to match."
Wrapped in moody, genre-blending metalcore, Aura celebrates love and connection, while starkly shining a light on themes of loss and learning to let go. It spawned knockout singles including 'Technicolor', 'Desolation' and 'Ethereal', which have enjoyed love across the likes of The Faction and triple j's short.fast.loud between them, as well as 'Burn' which garnered massive playlist nods including New Music Friday US (3.1m followers) and New Music AU/NZ (290k followers) as well as New Noise, Rock Out and New Metal Tracks.
The Brave will command stages in Fremantle, Perth, Adelaide, Sydney and Melbourne along the Aura tour, before rounding the festivities out in their hometown of Brisbane. Tickets are on sale from 9am AEST, Thursday May 16.
The Brave Announce 2020 Tour ft. Sleep Talk and More
Wed 22 Jan, 2020
We don't get to choose the people we fall in love with or the places that mean a lot to us; these things just make sense on a deeper level, they connect each one of us in myriad mysterious ways. And for The Brave, it's these connections that they wanted to celebrate on second album 'Aura'. "We all believe in auras," explains vocalist Nathan Toussaint, "whether it be the auras that surround the people we meet during our travels, or...
The Brave Announce Tour & Release New Single 'Technicolour'
Brisbane's The Brave are back with their second album 'Aura', out April 5 via UNFD. The epic new single 'Technicolor' is the next taste of what's to come from the Brisbane band after the release of last year's single 'Ethereal', which was named Best Heavy Song at the 2018 Queensland Music Awards. Formed in Brisbane in 2013, The Brave quickly started turning heads with 2014 EP 'Endless', which captured their...

Tom Brady can stand alone as the #1 quarterback in all-time wins if the Patriots can beat the New York Jets today.
Brady starts the day tied with Peyton Manning and Brett Farve with 186 regular season wins.
Both Brady and TE Rob Gronkowski were taken off the Pats injury list last Friday. Brady has been nursing an injury to his left shoulder.
Live coverage of the Patriots vs Jets game on Sports Radio 92.9 The Ticket begins at 10am with the pregame show. Kickoff is 1pm.
Perhaps the Jets will be a little more of a challenge than first thought. They have a 3-2 record, same as the Patriots.


Did you know the 23rd May is International Chardonnay Day? You do now! Chardonnay is a versatile grape meaning it ripens in almost any soil and climate condition, producing flavours ranging from crisp apple to dry and fruity. Hence it readily incorporates into many blends. And 4,467 bottles sold every hour means Chardonnay still tantalises the UK's taste buds. The grape is also a major contributor in Champagne.
Here are Hardys 's of Australia's Chardonnay styles, which should suit all tastes.
Hardys VR Chardonnay 2014, £6.99, 13% abv. From Tesco/Sainsburys/Ocado/One Shop. Chock with rich melon and peach flavours. The finish is crisp and dry so accompanies vegetarian dishes well.
William Hardy Limestone Chardonnay 2014 RRP £9.99, 13% abv. From Tesco/Asda/Morrisons/Ocado. This new wine highlights the brand's premium range with an emphasis on regional Australian heritage. Lightly oaked, with melon and white peach flavours give a well-balanced white with a creamy texture and a long, crisp finish. Pair with fish and chips.
Hardys Stamp Sparkling Pinot Chardonnay NV, £8.99, 13% abv. From Asda. This medium-bodied wine delivers fresh lime with hints of nectarine and apricot and a fresh, zingy finish. Great with canapés.
Hardys Stamp Chardonnay Semillon 2014, £7.49, 13% abv. From Asda/Tesco/Morrisons/Sainsburys/The Co-op/Ocado/Iceland/Spar.
Medium-bodied with fresh citrus and tropical fruit flavours. The creamy texture blends with delicate oak and a smooth finish. Perfect alongside smoked cheeses or seafood.
Nottage Hill Chardonnay 2014, £7.98, 13.5% abv. From ASDA/Sainsburys/Tesco/Ocado/Morrisons. Full-bodied and dry with rich tropical fruit and melon flavours, complemented by a touch of subtle oak. The finish is crisp and lively so pair with chicken dishes in creamy sauces.
Hardys RB CHARDONNAY 2012, £17.99, 13.5% abv. From ASDA/Majestic/Hardys 1853 Club. Vibrant characters of Pemberton combined with zesty, citrus flavours produces a fully flavoured glug. Delicious paired with prosciutto wrapped chicken breast or monkfish.
Eileen Hardy Chardonnay 2012, £29.99, 13% abv. From Majestic/Hardys 1853 Club. This premium Chardonnay boasts hand-picked, bunch pressed grapes matured in French oaked barrels. The result is a rich and complex wine, displaying citrus lime, grapefruit spice and hazelnut with a fine, long finish. Perfect with creamy cheeses such as brie and camembert.
Tips to get the most out of your International Chardonnay Day celebrations.
1) Avoid serving straight from the fridge as too much chill can mask Chardonnay flavours.
2) When pairing with food consider the wine's style. Creamy and full bodied wines pair better with hearty creamy dishes like pasta and fish pie. Is it delicate and aromatic or fresh and crisp? Then try it with Asian spiced foods or delicate fish like sushi.

Fernando Cabada and Molly Pritz Take USA 25K Crowns
Cabada's 1:15:41 wasn't quite as quick as the American record of 1:14:20 he set in winning this USA 25K in 2006, but it was an
important redemptive comeback for him as he bested runnerup Josh Moen (1:16:09) and third place Andrew Carlson (1:16:35), the defending champion, in this Grand Rapids race held in conjunction with the Fifth Third River Bank Run in Grand Rapids, Michigan in the rain on Saturday. "You start doubting yourself and wondering, 'was that a fluke?'" Cabada said of his five years between 25k victories. Moen noted "we took off really hard. But Fernando kept it going. I couldn't hang with him." Molly Pritz, 23, was a U.S. champion for the first time as she earned top women's honors, leading from the start to triumph in 1:25:38, with Dot McMahan second in 1:28:38 and Jeannette Faber third in 1:28:48. "It really tests you as a runner," Pritz said of the course. Even if there is no one around you, it forces you to dig deep in yourself and see what you have." She noted "I was hoping for a faster time, but it just didn't come together today. But at the same time, you can't be disappointed with winning a race."
