Fan-made Poster For 'Carrie' Remake Starring Chloe Moretz Gets Thumbs Up From Director Kimberly Peirce
Fan-made Poster For 'Carrie' Remake Starring Chloe Moretz Gets Thumbs Up From Director Kimberly Peirce

Well, whether you like it or not, the "Carrie" remake is happening, but it's hard to deny the talent being assembled is pretty compelling. "Boys Don't Cry" helmer Kimberly Peirce is getting behind the camera, with Chloe Moretz playing the bullied high school girl who unleashes her telekinetic powers after she gets pushed too far. And while there is no denying that Brian De Palma's film is a stone cold classic, we're curious to see what direction this iteration will take.
While the remake is still composing its pieces, that hasn't stopped Moretz fans from getting creative, which has caught the attention of Peirce. Yesterday she posted a fan-made poster to her Facebook page, saying, "Just to let you know this is a poster one of Chloe Moretz's fans made…cool, right?" And yeah, it's not too bad at all. Boasting a nice tagline — "Know her name. Beware the power." — its a pretty good treatment all around, with a nice balance between the falling tear and splash of blood.
Anyway, take a look for yourself below. The hunt is currently on to find Moretz's co-star who will play her fundamentalist mother, with names like Jodie Foster and Julianne Moore being mentioned early, but far from official. Filming will begin later this year.

California Hiking Nature Scenic Drive Yosemite
Last updated on May 12th, 2022
Surrounded by granite cliffs aiming for the sky, giant sequoia groves, and remarkable tranquility, Yosemite's natural beauty is hard to sum up in words. Home to one of the most stunning valleys on Earth and dozens of other temptations, including over 800 miles of hiking trails, a visit to Yosemite is simply a must. This Yosemite travel guide will help you get started with planning your trip to the national park.
I first visited Yosemite on a family trip back in the mid-90s and recently returned to thoroughly explore the national park. I spent five days driving and hiking in Yosemite as part of a long road trip in the American Southwest. This Yosemite travel guide is based on extensive research and experience.
Why Visit Yosemite?
One of the world's most dramatic natural landscapes, Yosemite Valley is striking from every angle and at every hour of the day. The valley's grassy meadow appears detached from the outside world by tall granite cliffs, some of which are tearing with waterfalls.
Giant Sequoias
At the edges of the national park, groves of giant sequoia trees have been aiming for the sky for thousands of years. Walking amongst these ancient giants helps put life in perspective.
Superb Hiking
Whether you're visiting Yosemite for the day or staying overnight, the park's vast network of walking and hiking trails beckons visitors to put on their outdoor shoes and explore Yosemite on foot.

Yosemite Background
Yosemite National Park covers an extensive area in the high Sierra Nevada measuring over 1,000 square miles (over 3,000 km2 ). Together with the low-lying Yosemite Valley, the park's high elevation meadows and peaks combine to create a highly diverse natural environment where over 400 species of living organisms are found, including giant sequoias over 2,000 years old. Apart from the rich plant and animal life, Yosemite is well known for its skyscraper-like granite cliffs, sculpted by the elements into craggy peaks and smooth domes.
The Yosemite we see today is owed to geological activity that began about 10 million years ago when the Sierra Nevada range was uplifted. This activity increased the steepness of existing rivers, whose now stronger flow created deep canyons. Snow and ice began to accumulate at high elevations about one million years ago. During its melting process, ice slowly moved to lower elevations while deepening the canyons. The force of the melting ice pushing against the rock chipped the granite wherever it could and polished it in the process, creating the majestic U-shaped Yosemite Valley.
Yosemite Valley was first settled by Native Americans over 6,000 years ago. They referred to the valley as "Ahwahnee", loosely meaning "place of gaping mouth". The flowing Merced River, the valley's moist meadow, and black oak trees provided food for bears and deer that we still see today. In 1848, gold rush seekers and settlers began to arrive in the San Joaquin Valley, followed by raids by the valley's native residents on their camps. In response, the army was sent to drive the natives out in 1851, becoming the first white men to see Yosemite Valley.
Word of the beautiful valley soon began to spread, attracting the first tourists to Yosemite Valley as early as 1855. Soon after, conservationists began to advocate for the protection of the area, the most famous of which was John Muir. in 1864, President Lincoln designated Yosemite Valley and Mariposa Grove as a forest reserve, handing over their management to the state. Following additional lobbying for the protection of the area above the valley, Congress set aside additional land for protection in 1890. In 1906, President Roosevelt took the next step and Yosemite finally gained national park status. In 1984 Yosemite was recognized as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
Today, Yosemite is one of America's most popular national parks, with over five million annual visitors in record years and even over two million visitors in 2020 when the COVID epidemic was restricting movement. This growing popularity forces the National Park Service to constantly optimize operations to both preserve the natural environment and enable visitors to enjoy their stay.

Belarus opposition activist jailed for 4 years over poll protests
19:52 17/02/2011 MINSK, February 17 (RIA Novosti) - A Minsk court on Thursday sentenced Belarusian opposition activist Vasily Parfenkov to four years in prison for participating in mass protests following the December 19 presidential elections.
Parfenkov, who worked on the campaign staff of opposition presidential candidate Vladimir Neklayev, was also fined about $5,000 for damaging state property, smashing windows and breaking doors.
"As part of a rampaging mob, [Parfenkov] attempted to break into a government building, delivering at least 61 blows to a wooden fence at the entrance to the building," the verdict said.
Parfenkov's lawyer said he would appeal the sentence.
More than 600 people, including 11 Russians, were detained in Belarus during protests against the presidential polls, called "flawed" by international observers, that saw President Alexander Lukashenko reelected to a fourth term in office.


Currently, when I schedule an email it is based on my time zone, and will send to recipients at the same time, regardless of where they are. For example, I'm in Arizona so when I schedule an emailf or 5 a.m. AZ time, those on the East Coast will see it at 8 a.m., while those on the West Coast are receiving it at 5 a.m. However, it would be great if everyone could receive the e-mail at 8 a.m., so no matter where you live, the email is being delivered to your inbox at 8 a.m. Other software like offers this feature, not sure why Constant Contact does not.


A Syrian Kurdish rebels said on Wednesday they had recovered full control of the border town of Tel Abyad after defeating ISIL fighters who had raided it the day before.
The spokesman for the Kurdish YPG said a district raided by ISIL fighters on the eastern periphery of Tel Abyad was back under its control. Redur Xelil, the spokesman, said three ISIL members had been killed, while another had blown himself up with an explosive belt.

Caribbean Court of Justice
GENERAL INFORMATION, NEWS AND VIEWS ABOUT THE CARIBBEAN COURT OF JUSTICE (CCJ)
CCJ celebrates 10th birthday
Trinidad and Tobago will in due course accept the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) as this country's final court of appeal, to replace the London-based Privy Council.
This view was expressed by the CCJ's President Sir Dennis Byron, who formed this expectation based on statements being made by local officials. The question now is the timing for this to become a reality.
Sir Dennis, 77, a Leeward Islands scholar born in St Kitts and an attorney for almost 50 years, during which time he has held prestigious positions as a regional and international jurist, scoffs at the opinion of those who say the CCJ is inferior to comparable legal institutions abroad.
Q: Sir Dennis, the Caribbean Court of Justice is observing its tenth anniversary this month. Exactly what is there to be celebrating about?
A: (In his Henry Street, Port-of-Spain, headquarters of the CCJ Wednesday morning) I think we have a lot to celebrate including the fact we are in existence for ten years and it's a great opportunity to serve the citizens of our region.
The court operates in two distinct jurisdictions: one is the original jurisdiction which deals with disputes arising out of the interpretation and application of the Single Market and Economy Revised Treaty of Chaguaramas. Secondly, final appeals from countries within the region. And during our existence we have done extensive work in both areas, 16 cases have been filed in the original jurisdiction.
One of them, which we all can remember, which received a lot of public attention is the matter where the young lady from Jamaica brought proceedings against the government of Barbados and that case demonstrated the relevance of the CCJ.
Therefore you do have something to crow about?
(A slight smile) Well, I don't like to use that concept but the point is we have in fact done a lot of work, it has been well done and it has been received by the persons who have benefited from the adjudication of the court.
In your 2011-2013 report you said words to the effect that one of the goals of the CCJ is to develop a strong regional jurisprudence system, yet there is this bugbear involving Trinidad and Tobago. Has that put a damper on your celebration?
(Decisively) No. I don't think that Trinidad and Tobago is a bugbear (A heavy sigh). People have always been trying to get me to speak about what they call political will and I have tried to avoid that because …
Yes and I suspect that it would not be prudent to do so...?
(Interjecting) Well, No. No. It is not that I cannot do it but I am just saying I don't agree with the perceptions that have prompted those questions. As I see it…if you look at government as an institution, the Government of Trinidad and Tobago has done a lot to support and develop the work of the CCJ.
That is true Your Honour, but isn't it a fact that Trinidad and Tobago is yet to make the CCJ our final court of appeal, with Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar saying a few years ago this country was now willing to let the CCJ deal only with criminal matters from T&T?
Therefore isn't it correct to say that Trinidad and Tobago is not yet fully on board?
Well, you see again I do not like that language because in my opinion Trinidad and Tobago is fully on board with the court; it has signed the treaty establishing the court, it has paid up in full its financial contributions to the court's operations.
The court was set up on the basis that it would be completely independent of political interference and one critical area of independence is financial independence, so the CCJ does not have to depend on the monthly or annual subventions from any member government. Consequently, a unique form of financing was developed through a (US)$100 million trust fund which is funded through the interests derived from that money. Trinidad and Tobago's contribution to that was just over 29 per cent, approximately (US)$29 million and they paid that in full.
It is only one thing they have not done and that is abolish appeals to the Privy Council and establish the CCJ as its final appeal court.
In your view Sir Dennis, wouldn't it be a more acceptable proposition for Trinidad and Tobago to make the CCJ its absolutely final court of appeal?
Of course. I think it is overdue. It would be better for Trinidad and Tobago, it would be better for the court. It would be better for the region as a whole if the vision of the founding fathers were fulfilled in this matter, so we are ready and willing to serve the community in this manner.
Your Honour, if my memory serves me right, I think the present T&T administration, when it was in the opposition, it came out against the CCJ complaining about its ethnic composition…?
Well the CCJ has a component of seven judges, the President and six others and the qualifications for being selected as a judge are very clearly spelt out. In making appointments the Regional Judicial and Legal Service Commission can only appoint
people who apply to become judges and then those persons go through a competitive process.
The criteria that is utilised is high moral character, intellect, analytical ability, sound judgement, integrity and understanding of people and the society.
Obviously, legal knowledge is a critical part of that and these are the factors that are utilised to ensure that the best candidates are selected.
Now, you have raised the issue of diversity here because that is what is really being said: that a court should somehow or other reflect persons that it represents and we all agree that that is desirable. Our court, however, cannot function on the basis of a quota system where you say you must have this number of persons simply because of the numbers.
But one has to trust that the issue of diversity is a factor which would be taken into account in the selection process.
Are you suggesting that a person of a certain ethnic background has not yet applied to be a judge of the CCJ?
(A somewhat perplexed expression) Well, I don't know exactly what you expect me to say in response to that. If you look at the seven members of the court—you have an Englishman, a Dutchman, you have a Trinbagonian who is a woman of East Indian descent who is the most recently appointed judge, you have a judge from Jamaica, you have two from the Eastern Caribbean and one male judge from T&T. So I think you have quite a mixture which demonstrates that type of diversity of the court (which) is far superior to the diversity of courts from other countries.
Based on your interaction with the Trinidad and Tobago Government, perhaps even at the level of the Prime Minister, do you have any sort of indication about how soon this country would come on board fully?
Well, you use that word indication, I cannot speak to that, but what I can say is that expectation and I do think it is likely that T&T is ready to go forward. I have heard the Prime Minister saying that it is inevitable in this regard, the question really is when is the right time to do it.
And I further believe that her readiness to come on board would most likely be influenced by statements from significant constituencies in the country. The most important in this context is the Law Association and I felt really gratified when the new president of the association said last year T&T was now firmly committed to ensure that the CCJ became the final appellate of Trinidad and Tobago.
Your Honour where do you see the CCJ in the next ten years?
In the next ten years the CCJ will be firmly entrenched as the final appeal court for all countries of Caricom and in fact it is quite interesting, we have already received indications that courts which are not within the Commonwealth are making enquiries asking us what is the process of making the CCJ their final court of appeal.
Finally Sir Dennis, how do you view the dispensing of justice by the CCJ in comparison to that of let's say the Privy Council?
There are many answers to that question and the one that is most relevant at the moment has to do with the opportunity for access to justice. Take, for example, the court of appeal in Trinidad and Tobago gives many judgements each year and very few appeals are made to the Privy Council.
That could mean two things: litigants are satisfied and they do not want to appeal. It could also mean that if they want to appeal it is too expensive and complicated to do so...which is it?
If it is the latter, having the CCJ gives the citizens an opportunity to get access to justice in Trinidad and Tobago in that regard and that's the experience we have had in the countries where the Privy Council is the final court of appeal.

8752.0 - Building Activity, Australia, Mar 2008 Quality Declaration
List of Electronic Tables (Appendix)
Data Cubes (I-Note)
1 This publication contains detailed estimates from the quarterly Building Activity Survey. Each issue includes revisions to the previous quarter. Therefore data for the latest quarter should be considered to be preliminary only.
SCOPE AND COVERAGE
2 The statistics were compiled using building approval details and returns collected from builders and other individuals and organisations engaged in building activity. Since the September quarter of 1990, the quarterly estimates have represented all approved public and private sector owned:
residential building jobs valued at $10,000 or more.
non-residential building jobs valued at $50,000 or more.
3 As of the June quarter 2006, the survey has consisted of:
an indirect, modelled component comprising residential building work with approval values from $10,000 to less than $50,000 and non-residential building work with approval values from $50,000 to less than $250,000. The contributions from these building jobs are modelled based on their building approval details.
a direct collection of all identified building work having approval values of $2,000,000 or more.
a sample survey, selected from other identified building work.
4 For historical changes to the collection design see the Directory of Statistical Sources on the ABS website.
5 The use of sample survey techniques in the Building Activity Survey means that reliable estimates of private sector building activity are generally available only at state, territory and Australia levels. Although subject to higher relative standard errors (refer to paragraphs 17-20), a range of sub-state estimates of building activity may be available. For further information on the availability of Building Activity estimates, contact the inquiries contact officer on the front of this publication. Detailed data on Building Approvals, based on information reported by local government and other reporting authorities, are available for regions below state and territory level from the Building Approval series compiled by the ABS.
6 The statistics relate to building activity which includes construction of new buildings and alterations and additions to existing buildings. Construction activity not defined as building (e.g. construction of roads, bridges, railways, earthworks, etc.) is compiled from the ABS Engineering Construction Survey (ECS). Results from the Building Activity Survey, together with estimates from the ECS, provide a complete quarterly picture of building and construction.
7 Building jobs included in each quarter in the Building Activity Survey comprise those jobs selected in previous quarters which have not been completed (or commenced) by the end of the previous quarter and those jobs newly selected in the current quarter. The population list from which jobs are selected for inclusion comprises all approved building jobs which were notified to the ABS (refer paragraph 3) up to but not including the last month of the reference quarter (i.e. up to the end of August in respect of the September quarter survey). This introduces a lag to the statistics in respect of those jobs notified and commenced in the last month of the reference quarter (i.e. for the month of September in respect of the September quarter survey). For example, jobs which were notified as approved in the month of June and which actually commenced in that month are shown as commencements in the September quarter. Similarly, building jobs which were notified in the month of September and which actually commenced in that month are shown as commencements in the December quarter.
8 From the September quarter 2002, building activity in the External Territories of Australia is included in these statistics. Jervis Bay is included in New South Wales, while Christmas Island and Cocos (Keeling) Islands are included in Western Australia.
TREATMENT OF GST
9 Statistics on the value of building work (current prices) show residential building on a GST inclusive basis and non-residential building on a GST exclusive basis. This approach is consistent with that adopted in the Australian National Accounts which is based on the conceptual framework described in the 1993 edition of the international statistical standard System of National Accounts (SNA93).
10 SNA93 requires value added taxes (VAT), such as the GST, to be recorded on a net basis where:
(a) both outputs of goods and services and imports are valued excluding invoiced VAT
(b) purchases of goods and services are recorded including non-deductible VAT.
11 Under the net system, VAT is recorded as being payable by purchasers, not sellers, and then only by those purchasers who are not able to deduct it. Almost all VAT is therefore recorded in the SNA93 as being paid on final uses - mainly on household consumption. Small amounts of VAT, may however, be paid by businesses in respect of certain kinds of purchases on which VAT may not be deductible.
12 Within building activity statistics, purchasers of residential structures are unable to deduct GST from the purchase price. For non-residential structures, the reverse is true. While the ABS collects all building activity data on a GST inclusive basis, it publishes value data inclusive of GST in respect of residential construction and exclusive of GST in respect of non-residential construction.
13 It is appropriate to add the residential and non-residential components to derive total building activity. Valuation of the components of the total is consistent, since, for both components, the value data is recorded inclusive of non-deductible GST paid by the purchaser. As such, total building activity includes the non-deductible GST payable on residential building.
14 Ownership. The ownership of a building is classified as either private sector or public sector, according to the sector of the intended owner of the completed building as evident at the time of approval. Residential buildings being constructed by private sector builders under government housing authority schemes whereby the authority has contracted, or intends to contract, to purchase the buildings on or before completion, are classified as public sector.
15 Functional classification of buildings. A building is classified according to its intended major function. Hence a building which is ancillary to other buildings, or forms a part of a group of related buildings, is classified to the function of the building and not to the function of the group as a whole. An example of this can be seen in the treatment of building work approved for a factory complex. In this case, a detached administration building would be classified to Offices, a detached cafeteria building to Retail/wholesale trade, while factory buildings would be classified to Factories. An exception to this rule is the treatment of group accommodation buildings where, for example, a student accommodation building on a university campus would be classified to Educational. The categories included under type of building classifications are defined in the Glossary.
16 In the case of a large multi-function building which, at the time of approval, is intended to have more than one purpose (e.g. a hotel/shops/residential apartments project), the ABS endeavours to split the details according to each main function. Where this is not possible because separate details cannot be obtained, the building is classified to the predominant function of the building on the basis of the function which represents the highest proportion of the total value of the project.
17 Building jobs are classified both by the Type of Building (e.g. 'house', 'factory') and by the Type of Work involved (e.g. 'new', 'alterations and additions' and 'conversions, etc.'). These classifications are used in conjunction with each other and are defined in the Glossary.
RELIABILITY OF THE ESTIMATES
18 Since the estimates for building activity (including alterations and additions) are based on a sample of approved building jobs, they are subject to sampling error; that is, they may differ from the figures that would have been obtained if information for all approved jobs for the relevant period had been included in the survey. One measure of the likely difference is given by the standard error (SE), which indicates the extent to which an estimate might have varied by chance because only a sample of approved jobs was included. There are about two chances in three that a sample estimate will differ by less than one SE from the figure that would have been obtained if all approved jobs had been included, and about nineteen chances in twenty that the difference will be less than two SEs. Another measure of sampling variability is the relative standard error (RSE), which is obtained by expressing the SE as a percentage of the estimate to which it refers. The RSEs of estimates provide an indication of the percentage errors likely to have occurred due to sampling, and are shown in tables 38 and 39.
19 An example of the use of RSEs is as follows. Assume that the estimate of the number of new private sector houses commenced during the latest quarter is 30,000 (for actual estimate see table 18) and that the associated RSE is 1.5% (for actual percentage see table 36). There would then be about two chances in three that the number which would have been obtained if information had been collected about all approved private sector house jobs would have been within the range 29,550 to 30,450 (1.5% of 30,000 is 450) and about nineteen chances in twenty that the number would have been within the range 29,100 to 30,900.
20 Estimates that have an estimated relative standard error between 10% and 25% are annotated with the symbol '^'. These estimates should be used with caution as they are subject to sampling variability too high for some purposes. Estimates with an RSE between 25% and 50% are annotated with the symbol '*' indicating that the estimate should be used with caution as it is subject to sampling variability too high for most practical purposes. Estimates with an RSE greater than 50% are annotated with the symbol '**' indicating that the sampling variability causes the estimates to be considered too unreliable for general use.
21 The imprecision due to sampling variability, which is measured by the RSE, should not be confused with inaccuracies that may occur because of inadequacies in the source of building approval information, imperfections in reporting by respondents, and errors made in the coding and processing of data. Inaccuracies of this kind are referred to as non-sampling error, and may occur in any enumeration whether it be a full count or only a sample. Every effort is made to reduce the non-sampling error to a minimum by the careful design of questionnaires, efforts to obtain responses for all selected jobs, and efficient operating procedures. Some non-sampling error is introduced by the estimation process for smaller jobs (see note 3). The impact of this component of error has been estimated and included in the RSE measures presented in this publication.
22 Seasonally adjusted building statistics are shown in tables 1-10, 13-21 and 23. In the seasonally adjusted series, account has been taken of normal seasonal factors, 'trading day' effects arising from the varying numbers of working days in a quarter and the effect of movement in the date of Easter which may, in successive years, affect figures for different quarters.
23 Since seasonally adjusted statistics reflect both irregular and trend movements, an upward or downward movement in a seasonally adjusted series does not necessarily indicate a change of trend. Particular care should therefore be taken in interpreting individual quarter-to-quarter movements. Some of the component series shown have been seasonally adjusted independently. As a consequence, while the unadjusted components in the original series shown add to the totals, the adjusted components may not add to the adjusted totals. (For example, the sum of the adjusted state series - for both work done and number of dwelling unit commencements - may not add to the adjusted Australian total). Therefore, figures should not be derived using the adjusted totals.
24 From the June quarter 2003, the seasonally adjusted estimates are produced by the concurrent seasonal adjustment method which takes account of the latest available original estimates. The concurrent method improves the estimation of seasonal factors and, therefore, the seasonally adjusted and trend estimates for the current and previous quarters.
25 A more detailed review of concurrent seasonal factors will be conducted annually, generally prior to the release of data for the December quarter.
26 The revision properties of the seasonally adjusted and trend estimates have been improved by the use of autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) modelling. ARIMA modelling relies on the characteristics of the series being analysed to project future period data. The ARIMA model is assessed as part of the annual reanalysis. For more information on the details of ARIMA modelling see feature article: Use of ARIMA modelling to reduce revisions in the October 2004 issue of Australian Economic Indicators (cat. no. 1350.0).
27 As a general rule, extreme care should be exercised in using the seasonally adjusted series for dwelling unit commencements in Northern Territory and Australian Capital Territory. The small numbers and volatile nature of these data makes reliable estimation of the seasonal pattern very difficult.
TREND ESTIMATES
28 Seasonally adjusted series can be smoothed to reduce the impact of the irregular component in the adjusted series. This smoothed seasonally adjusted series is called a trend estimate.
29 The trend estimates are derived by applying a 7-term Henderson moving average to the seasonally adjusted series. The 7-term Henderson average (like all Henderson averages) is symmetric but, as the end of a time series is approached, asymmetric forms of the average are applied. Unlike weights of the standard 7-term Henderson moving average, the weights employed here have been tailored to suit the particular characteristics of individual series.
30 While the smoothing technique described in paragraphs 27 and 28 enables trend estimates to be produced for recent quarters, it does result in revisions to the estimates for the most recent three quarters as additional observations become available. There may also be revisions because of changes in the original data. For further information, see Information Paper: A Guide to Interpreting Time Series - Monitoring Trends, 2003 (cat. no. 1349.0) or contact the Assistant Director, Time Series Analysis on Canberra (02) 6252 6540 or email <timeseries@abs.gov.au>.
CHAIN VOLUME MEASURES
31 Chain volume estimates of the value of commencements and work done are presented in original, seasonally adjusted and trend terms for Australia and for each state and territory.
32 While current price estimates of the value of commencements and work done reflect both price and volume changes, chain volume estimates measure changes in value after the direct effects of price changes have been eliminated and therefore only reflect volume changes. The direct impact of the GST is a price change, and hence is removed from chain volume estimates. The deflators used to revalue the current price estimates in this publication are derived from the same price data underlying the deflators compiled for the dwellings and new other building components of the national accounts aggregate 'Gross fixed capital formation'.
33 The chain volume measures of commencements and work done appearing in this publication are annually reweighted chain Laspeyres indexes referenced to current price values in a chosen reference year. The reference year is updated annually in the September quarter publication. Each year's data in the value of commencements and work done series are based on the prices of the previous year, except for the quarters of the latest incomplete year which are based upon the current reference year. Comparability with previous years is achieved by linking (or chaining) the series together to form a continuous time series. Further information on the nature and concepts of chain volume measures is contained in the ABS Information Paper: Australian National Accounts, Introduction of Chain Volume and Price Indexes (cat. no. 5248.0).
34 The factors used to seasonally adjust the chain volume series are identical to those used to adjust the corresponding current price series.
35 ABS publications draw extensively on information provided freely by individuals, businesses, governments and other organisations. Their continued cooperation is very much appreciated: without it, the wide range of statistics published by the ABS would not be available.

2016-october-01 Let a Great Reconciliation Take Place Within the Center of the United States.
The wooden spool you see below, bound with red fabric, is actually a petition of signatures presented to Congress in 1881. Such petitions were common at that time–rarely read or acted upon but instead, "bound" with red tape and tabled indefinitely.
This one holds 32,000 signatures from citizens interceding on behalf of Native Americans for the pain and injustices they had endured. "By unanimous consent … 32,000 citizens of the United States" are "praying (for) Congressional legislation to prevent the encroachment of white settlers on Indian reservations, and that the treaties with the Indians be faithfully executed." This is a photo, of a 135-year old unanswered request.
I received this while working on the up-coming Net of Light Gathering at Salt Fork State Park in Ohio and I was struck by the feeling behind those 32,000 signatures. The prayer of these, our ancestors, is also our prayer. Today great healing is needed in our country, a healing that will bring all Americans together.
"It is so overwhelming what is happening here and I wanted to tell you something and share my feelings.
On their faces you could read that life has not been easy for them and they had to work hard and deny their feminity. Strong, manly women. But they came anyway, curious and you could see the wounds in their eyes, and they had therefore closed their hearts for a part.
And then, after the concert, we opened our eyes and we met 40 pair of soft, open warm eyes. Feminine power, strong but warm and radiant and soft.
And because we had asked: no applause, and because we don't speak each others language, there is no escape! We just sit there and look in each others soul and that is the most beautiful thing that can happen. When we drink coffee, they cannot tell us something about their experience, but they put a hand on their heart and we understand.
And we see that divine feminine power cannot be destroyed, and is longing to be awakened.
I am so deeply grateful that Harry and I can be an intermediary in this transformation of these beautiful women. Their is so much love in their hearts!
We want to bring joy and light with our music.

A system-wide update of the 1997 VFA facilities survey was anticipated in initiative 3.1 as a way of benchmarking current conditions relative to on-campus housing options. Unfortunately, there was no consensus within the FSILG community about the need for a system-wide survey at this time; several groups are undertaking their own surveys using a Request for Proposal template developed for the strategic plan. If DSL wants a system-wide survey to proceed, it will have to provide financial and administrative assistance and political encouragement.

Here's What Hedge Funds Think About Johnson Outdoors Inc. (JOUT)
Published on June 28, 2019 at 7:28 pm by Nina Todic in Hedge Funds,News
Our extensive research has shown that imitating the smart money can generate significant returns for retail investors, which is why we track nearly 750 active prominent money managers and analyze their quarterly 13F filings. The stocks that are heavily bought by hedge funds historically outperformed the market, though there is no shortage of high profile failures like hedge funds' 2018 losses in Facebook and Apple. Let's take a closer look at what the funds we track think about Johnson Outdoors Inc. (NASDAQ:JOUT) in this article.
Johnson Outdoors Inc. (NASDAQ:JOUT) was in 11 hedge funds' portfolios at the end of March. JOUT shareholders have witnessed a decrease in hedge fund interest of late. There were 12 hedge funds in our database with JOUT holdings at the end of the previous quarter. Our calculations also showed that jout isn't among the 30 most popular stocks among hedge funds.
In the financial world there are a large number of tools investors have at their disposal to grade stocks. A pair of the most under-the-radar tools are hedge fund and insider trading indicators. We have shown that, historically, those who follow the top picks of the best fund managers can outperform the broader indices by a solid amount. Insider Monkey's flagship best performing hedge funds strategy returned 25.8% year to date (through May 30th) and outperformed the market even though it draws its stock picks among small-cap stocks. This strategy also outperformed the market by 40 percentage points since its inception (see the details here). That's why we believe hedge fund sentiment is a useful indicator that investors should pay attention to.
Let's analyze the latest hedge fund action encompassing Johnson Outdoors Inc. (NASDAQ:JOUT).
Hedge fund activity in Johnson Outdoors Inc. (NASDAQ:JOUT)
Heading into the second quarter of 2019, a total of 11 of the hedge funds tracked by Insider Monkey were long this stock, a change of -8% from the fourth quarter of 2018. Below, you can check out the change in hedge fund sentiment towards JOUT over the last 15 quarters. So, let's review which hedge funds were among the top holders of the stock and which hedge funds were making big moves.
The largest stake in Johnson Outdoors Inc. (NASDAQ:JOUT) was held by Renaissance Technologies, which reported holding $24.9 million worth of stock at the end of March. It was followed by Royce & Associates with a $16.5 million position. Other investors bullish on the company included AQR Capital Management, Marshall Wace LLP, and Two Sigma Advisors.
Because Johnson Outdoors Inc. (NASDAQ:JOUT) has witnessed falling interest from the aggregate hedge fund industry, it's safe to say that there exists a select few money managers who were dropping their positions entirely heading into Q3. It's worth mentioning that Parsa Kiai's Steamboat Capital Partners cut the largest stake of the "upper crust" of funds tracked by Insider Monkey, valued at an estimated $11.5 million in stock, and Gavin Saitowitz and Cisco J. del Valle's Springbok Capital was right behind this move, as the fund said goodbye to about $0.2 million worth. These transactions are interesting, as aggregate hedge fund interest was cut by 1 funds heading into Q3.
Let's check out hedge fund activity in other stocks similar to Johnson Outdoors Inc. (NASDAQ:JOUT). These stocks are Univest Financial Corporation (NASDAQ:UVSP), Ituran Location and Control Ltd. (NASDAQ:ITRN), Noble Corporation plc (NYSE:NE), and ViewRay, Inc. (NASDAQ:VRAY). This group of stocks' market valuations match JOUT's market valuation.
UVSP 9 35349 4
ITRN 11 126208 2
NE 23 102367 -1
VRAY 23 264047 2
Average 16.5 131993 1.75
As you can see these stocks had an average of 16.5 hedge funds with bullish positions and the average amount invested in these stocks was $132 million. That figure was $60 million in JOUT's case. Noble Corporation plc (NYSE:NE) is the most popular stock in this table. On the other hand Univest Financial Corporation (NASDAQ:UVSP) is the least popular one with only 9 bullish hedge fund positions. Johnson Outdoors Inc. (NASDAQ:JOUT) is not the least popular stock in this group but hedge fund interest is still below average. Our calculations showed that top 20 most popular stocks among hedge funds returned 6.2% in Q2 through June 19th and outperformed the S&P 500 ETF (SPY) by nearly 3 percentage points. A small number of hedge funds were also right about betting on JOUT as the stock returned 11.6% during the same time frame and outperformed the market by an even larger margin.

Dutch women are doing less housework and men are doing more
By Alexander Goede on 19 september 2014 in News
The division of roles between men and women in the Netherlands continues to evolve and more men are taking on household roles, according to research by the national statistics office CBS.
At the same time, more women are becoming breadwinners, even though they still earn less than men for doing the same job, the CBS said.
The CBS analysed the division of roles between men and women over the past 60 years and concludes emancipation has not stopped. 'It is a slow development which takes place over generations,' researcher Jan Latten told news agency ANP.
In 1969, just 31% of Dutch women had a job. By 2012, that percentage had almost doubled to 61%. Three quarters of men now work, compared with 84% in 1969 and in 20% of households, women now earn more than men.
In addition, 'men are more often to be found in the kitchen than they were 30 years ago,' Latten said.
In 1975, women spent an average of 35 hours a week on housework, while men were busy in the home for just 8.5 hours. By 2011, women were working 12 hours a week less at home, while men had increased their domestic duties by almost four hours a week.
Even though women are still under-represented in influential jobs in politics and industry, they are catching up. For example, 56% of all judges are now female, the research shows.

How can women climb up the corporate ladder? Is there such a thing as work-life balance? What steps must be taken to change corporate culture and empower women in the workforce? How can businesses adapt to changing business landscapes and remain competitive employers? The AS/COA Women's Hemispheric Network's 2nd Forum in Miami convened a select group of public and private sector female leaders who shared their personal stories and answered these relevant questions with young professionals.
Career-Paths: Taking the Road Less Traveled
Opening the conference, AS/COA Senior Director Randy Melzi challenged the conventional belief that one ascends a corporate ladder, arguing that the climb looks more like a zigzag—up, down, sideways, and up again. This idea was echoed by many speakers, whose own stories showcased a non-linear path to success.
The first keynote speaker, Alexandra Villoch, alternated between banking and the airline industry before moving to media and sales at The Miami Herald. Her transitions were driven by a desire to try something new, constantly challenging herself and "taking the road less traveled." Like many of the other speakers, she did not know what she wanted to do when she received her college diploma. Instead, she arrived where she did through a process of elimination, as well as networking and seizing opportunities.
Opening Remarks and Keynote: President of Miami Herald Media Company Alexandra Villoch
In the first panel, "Successfully Building your Career," Goldman Sachs' Beatriz Sanchez confessed she thought she wanted to be a doctor, but ended up finding her true passion in banking. Kairos' Lisa Raggiri mirrored this in the second panel, "A Conversation with Women Making a Difference," explaining how she began her career at a law firm, only to realize she would rather harness the lessons she learned there to start her own business and become an entrepreneur.
A recurring piece of advice given by panelists was to look at one's capabilities—strengths combined with what one enjoys—and go full speed ahead. As Raggiri described it, understanding that "the sky is the limit and I don't have to have one title or be one thing, I can be whoever I want to be" was the best career decision she made.
Networking and Leading in a Male-Dominated Environment
Networks are extremely important, both as a source of opportunities and support, said panelists. Medtronic's Liliana Gonzalez argued that women need to integrate networking into their motto. Speakers stressed the importance of fostering relationships, and gaining mentors as well as advocates. While mentioning the pivotal role that female mentors played in their lives, panelists acknowledged the importance of having male mentors as well. Many identified their fathers as their first mentors and supporters. When asked about the most important piece of advice they had received, responses often began with "my father always told me..."
Panel: Successfully Building Your Career
In the same vein, though speakers agreed that women often work in male-dominated environments, they did not see this as an immutable fact or barrier to their career. Stating that they have often been the only woman in board meetings, conference rooms, or at the top of their respective firms, these successful female speakers reiterated two main strategies to leading in a male-dominated workplace that was first proposed by Brightstar Corp's Catherine Smith: developing an approach and always being prepared. Gonzalez expanded on the latter strategy, arguing that resistance from men is somewhat inevitable, so women must be prepared to present their case with confidence; preparation means knowledge, and knowledge means visibility and a seat at the table.
Changing the male-dominated culture must begin in the early stages of education. Raggiri and Endeavor Miami's Laura Maydón discussed the importance of altering the educational system, starting in elementary school. Teaching boys about gender equality and domestic chores while simultaneously encouraging more girls to enter technological and scientific fields of study will help level the playing field from the onset, they said.
Panel: Women Making a Difference
In her remarks, Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the youngest woman ever elected to the Florida Legislature, added that in order to change the culture, successful women need to back other women, as "women will always do better and go farther if they work together."
Work-Life Balance: Myth or Reality?
Villoch pointed out that "none of us are doing one job any longer." Many participants wanted to know if there was such a thing as work-life balance? The resounding answer was "no." The image of a balance was traded for that of a seesaw; sometimes work takes priority, sometimes family. Maydón expressed this idea by saying: "We can do everything, but not at the same time." As stated by Sanchez and echoed by several panelists throughout the conference "every woman needs a good wife at home." Having a support system—whether it be a great nanny, understanding husband, involved family members, or a combination—is essential in allowing successful women greater flexibility and the ability to flourish in their professional as well as personal lives.
Another important factor identified in helping bridge the gap between work and family was the concept of "non-negotiables"—a list of conditions for choosing career opportunities. For many of the panelists, a recurring non-negotiable was to be based in one city so that their children would grow up in one place and develop a strong support system.
Family patterns are changing, demanding more flexibility not only for women, but for men as well. According to panelists, companies are starting to understand the importance of allowing employees to have greater flexibility, but have a long ways to go. The mothers on stage said they worked harder in order to be there for their children, particularly on special occasions. As Villoch put it, giving men and women more flexibility with their schedule is the connection between good business and the right thing to do.
Beyond the Women's Hemispheric Conference: Lessons Learned
Congresswoman Wasserman Schultz closed the conference by sharing her personal story and echoing many of the other panelists' advice: don't wait to be asked, don't waste time trying to be perfect because it is not possible, self-advocate, be prepared, get out of your comfort zone, determine your non-negotiables and stand by them, and be true to yourself in everything you do. In the end she concluded with her favorite Eleanor Roosevelt quote: "Well-behaved women seldom make history."

On 'Poetisches Tagebuch', one of today's foremost lyric tenors, Christoph Prégardien, and his equally illustrious accompanist Julius Drake, perform nine songs by Schubert to words by the Saxon poet Ernst Schulze, together with a further eight songs to lyrics by other poets.
These songs of loss, alienation and obsessive longing ('Winterreise' is already glimpsed) are among Schubert's most powerful and poignant, and two of them, 'Im Frühling' and 'Auf der Bruck', both recital favourites, are among the composer's most popular lieder.
Poet Ernst Schulze (1789-1817) lived in a world in which the boundaries between the real and the imagined were increasingly hazy. As a student he shared Don Giovanni's 'mille tre' attitude to women, notching up a string of casual conquests. When his campaign to seduce Cäcilie Tychsen failed, and she died of tuberculosis, she became idealised as his lost bride-to-be, saviour and muse. Conveniently for the fantasising poet, Cäcilie had a sister, Adelheid, to whom he quickly transferred his affections. From 1813 until his own early death, likewise of tuberculosis, Schulze embroidered this fragmentary, largely one-sided relationship in the 100 poems that make up his Poetisches Tagebuch ('Verse Journal').
Schubert first seems to have alighted on Schulze's work in 1824, when he flirted with the idea of making an opera from the narrative poem 'Die bezauberte Rose'. Then in March 1825 he set 'Im Walde' from the Poetisches Tagebuch, initiating a sequence of Schulze songs composed over the following year.

Smart phones have opened the doors of nudity to new heights as videos of pornography are often travelling in openly. In my recent observation its being found that discussing about sex and sharing videos of pornography are the growing culture of the society. Media has also played a dignified role while displaying nudity in Television and Indian cinema's. Well it's very easy to copy different cultures but very hard to paste the same in the Indian closed society system.
The time has come where its being proved that our political candidates and our social hero's needs to be well educated and understand that today's population is not under educated and smart phone has expedited the shape of media awareness. Then recent historic growth of rape in India and across the globe makes it very clear that "No place on earth is safe for women". But the rates at which the rapes and murders are happening women of this decade and in the coming decade's women are going to carry weapons in their bags while travelling. When government and police is not able to provide security and Indian legal system is not structured enough for the speedy process of the punishment about rape-in that case women have to carry weapons. As its being found that after rape no clue or no proper culprit identification is not possible are criminals are smart enough hence women would also become smart enough when they will shoot or kill someone who will try to rape or behave in such manner and no clues will be left by them. The government is forgetting that once common man picks up law in their hand and become animals like the ones who does rape then the expectation from government about proper justice would not be required any more. Before one does rape he is either shot or is being stabbed by the women. The government inactions and words of the politicians are asking indirectly that women save yourself of your won.
In the recent incidents in West Bengal and in UP we find that both ministers are trying to compete for rape or either making statement that being big state rape is too small. Do his words want to convey that every house in UP one must have a rape victim?
Statistics says many things and will also speak in the future but are we listening. I am not giving any statistical presentation on rapes in different states and making a comparison regarding the same. I am only showing the growth of vulgarism against women. Further it shows that government of individual states is still sleeping like the CM of Karnataka.
· Uttar Pradesh has recorded a steep rise in the number of rape cases in 2013 as compared to the previous year.
· As per data tabled in the Rajya Sabha by Minister of State for Home Affairs Kiren Rijiju, while answering a question by Ramdas Athawale, as many as 3,050 cases of rape were reported in Uttar Pradesh in 2013 as against 1,963 in 2012, an increase of above 55 per cent. In 2011, the number stood at 2,042.
· National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB), every day 93 women are being raped in the country.
· According to NCRB data, there is a gradual increase in the number of rapes reported in India - from 24,923 in 2012 to 33,707 in 2013.
· The number of rapes in Delhi has almost doubled from 585 in 2012 to 1,441 in 2013. Delhi is followed by Mumbai (391), Jaipur (192) and Pune (171) among the top unsafe cities in the country.
· It is also revealed that most victims are aged between 18 and 30 years (15,556) and 14 and 18 years (8,877).
Well every state has rapes and no state is bothered to make a clean environment for the same.
The recent words of Trinamool Congress MP Mr. Tapas Pal, where he clearly said that he will send his TMC party members to go into each house and do rape. Please find the video of the same where he openly promotes rape. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16sDknXjD2E. In another video you will find comparison of rape number growth by UP Ex-CM and Currently His son is the CM of the State. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=phZUkDFAtRE
If these are our political choices then obviously we should not expect them to understand the pains of rape and the values of women. It's not about who said what but it about the thought process of these politicians and their lookout towards the rape. We seek justice from these people. Do we really get justice.
The question is not about how many rapes are happening in India and across the world and giving an elaborate statistical comparison. The point is that if India could fight for 90 years to get independence then why not stop rape and form stringent legal punishment against rapists. Why can't we control the pornography? Why can't West Bengal or UP don't become rape free states. Or the state governments is satisfying and promoting rape for their party workers so that get boosted up and do all illegal works which will help these political candidates to win their position back again.
Well all I see is that politician are busy to satisfy the sexual demand of their party members through rape. But they are forgetting that a time will come when their own fruits will be consumed by themselves. Women rise and protect you.

Caring for hundreds of patients is part of the job description for nurses across the country, but establishing strong bonds with these patients is one of the reasons why Matthew Knox shines. A second degree BSN fast track student at Holy Family University, Knox anticipates to complete his degree in February 2017 and then hit the ground running.
During his clinical experience at St. Mary's Hospital, Knox was responsible for checking on a maternity patient after aiding in the delivery of her healthy baby boy. She was so touched by his work and dedication that she called Dr. Margaret Harkins, BSN Fast Track Program Coordinator and Assistant Professor, to praise Knox's work and described him as phenomenal and very caring.
Knox credits part of his success to the environment of Holy Family University and its staff.
Knox's journey in the medical field originally did not begin at Holy Family University. With a previous undergraduate degree in Psychology from Penn State University, he began working as a residential adviser at Foundations Behavioral Health, a long-term mental health facility for adolescents.
To make it through the difficult moments that the profession can present, Knox finds that a sense of humor is important to stay grounded.
With February around the corner, Knox is thinking about what is next in his career. He still has his foot in the door at the residential psych facility and at Doylestown Hospital, where he currently works as a patient care technician. He knows that he still has some soul searching to do, but even with some uncertainty about what his future will bring, one thing that will follow him wherever his journey takes him is the humbling experience with his patient.

This portrait of 64 year-old Benjaman Kyle was created with more than two million ink dots by Miguel Endara. Benjaman Kyle was found unconscious, bloody and naked behind a Burger King dustbin in 2004 in Georgia – with no identification or memory of who he was. In fact, the artist wanted to help Mr Kyle, who suffered from retrograde amnesia. Mr Kyle – the only US citizen listed as missing, and he cannot obtain a new social security number, be taken in by any homeless shelters or even take out a library book. His identity has baffled the police and FBI, who cannot find his fingerprints in databases or his face in missing person files. Director John Wikstrom even made a film about him called 'Finding Benjaman'.
But despite the attempts of friends he has made along the way while trying to find out his story – even appearing on US TV show Dr Phil – Mr Kyle still has no idea about his history and family tree.
It took 138 hours with each dot applied one by one at an average of around four dots per second. 'Basically, I don't exist,' he told ABC earlier this month. 'I'm a walking, talking person who is invisible to all the bureaucracy. I don't have any plans for the future. Sometimes I wish I just hadn't woken up.


Increasing the weight on the bar, adding reps to each set, and going faster are all ways we can increase intensity. It is important to track these factors to make sure we are progressing – But its also important to understand they can not be increased every workout.
You shouldn't be laid out on the ground huffing and puffing after every workout. Eventually too much intensity (too frequently) will lead to mental and physical burnout, as well as potential injury. Your body needs time to recover and repair in order to get stronger.
Working hard in the gym is important for progress. We have to get out of our comfort zone in order to see and feel change. Theres a time and place to go all out – but there's a limit.
Listen to your body and make sure you're giving it what it needs to recover from your workouts. Doing so will lead to more sustained progress.
