Pelosi Announces Impeachment Inquiry Into President Trump
Graham Piro - September 24, 2019 8:50 PM
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) announced she will open an impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump, saying the president betrayed his oath of office by asking the president of Ukraine to open an investigation into a political rival.
"The actions of the Trump presidency revealed the dishonorable fact of the president's betrayal of his oath of office, betrayal of our national security, and betrayal of the integrity of our elections," Pelosi said Tuesday evening. "Therefore, today I'm announcing the House of Representatives is moving forward with an official impeachment inquiry. I'm directing our six committees to proceed with their investigations under that umbrella of impeachment inquiry."

"The president must be held accountable. No one is above the law," she added.
President Trump tweeted earlier Tuesday he would release the full transcript of his conversation with Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky, in which Trump allegedly pressured Zelensky into opening an investigation into Vice President Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden.
I am currently at the United Nations representing our Country, but have authorized the release tomorrow of the complete, fully declassified and unredacted transcript of my phone conversation with President Zelensky of Ukraine….
Trump described the call as "very friendly and totally appropriate." Trump also said he brought up Biden during the call, but denied any sort of quid pro quo agreement was discussed.
The Washington Post reported that Trump confirmed he withheld military aid from Ukraine prior to the phone call, but the president credited the move to concerns over how the money was being spent.
Last week, Pelosi criticized Democratic lawmakers for trying to press forward with impeachment without having the necessary support from party leaders. However, the whistleblower complaint over Trump's conversation with the Ukrainian president appears to be a turning point for many impeachment-skeptical Democrats.
More than two-thirds of House Democrats have now said they support impeaching the president. At least 45 Democrats have announced their support since Sunday.
The decision to open the impeachment inquiry follows months of Democratic in-fighting over whether or not to impeach the president. House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler (D., N.Y.) has repeatedly said his committee has already been conducting an inquiry, while Pelosi had been reluctant to proceed until Tuesday.

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia — A succession of satellite images from the Australians, the Chinese and the French, as well as a Chinese plane's report of "suspicious objects," has bolstered hopes for a breakthrough in the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370.
It has also raised hopes of a different kind: that the multinational effort to find the missing plane may prove to be a step toward easing some of the potentially dangerous tensions that have been growing in Asia.
Although many of the problems in this region are seemingly intractable, fraught with territorial interests and historical mistrust, the search for the jetliner has prompted countries to cooperate and engage with one another on sensitive issues.
PHOTOS: Missing Malaysia Airlines plane
On Monday, a Chinese search plane spotted "suspicious objects" in the southern Indian Ocean, China's state media reported. The crew sent the coordinates to the Australian command center as well as a Chinese icebreaker, which was en route, but it was unclear how far away the icebreaker was.
China and Japan have sparred for months over islands in the East China Sea, but now are working with the Australian-led team of U.S. and New Zealand planes that has been combing the waters off the coast of western Australia for the last four days. India and China, despite their long rivalry, will share an air base in Malaysia to conduct sweeps of another section of the Indian Ocean.
In all, 26 countries are taking part in coordinated operations to solve one of the great mysteries of aviation history.
"Obviously we have now had a number of very credible leads and there is increasing hope, no more than hope, that we might be on the road to discovering what did happen," Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott said Sunday.
Australia's maritime authority said Monday morning that the first of 10 military and civilian aircraft, two more than used Sunday, had taken off to look for objects spotted by satellite in the same general area of the southern Indian Ocean about 1,500 miles southwest of Perth, capital of Western Australia state.
"The weather forecast in the search area is expected to deteriorate, with rain likely," the authority said in a statement. That could make it difficult for spotters to see debris, including a wooden pallet that was observed Saturday and that could have come from Flight 370 — though such pallets are also commonly used on ships.
The underlying issues that had produced the tensions in the Asia-Pacific region will not evaporate just because of the current cooperation on the search. But it could subtly help improve the climate in which those issues are addressed.
In the dark days of the Cold War, the United States and the Soviet Union used "confidence-building" measures of cooperation on small matters to make it easier to deal with the larger concerns of nuclear survival. In much the same way, some experts see reason to hope the search for the airliner will make it easier for Asian powers to deal with the larger problems dividing them.
"We're seeing a level of collaboration that's pretty much unprecedented," said John Blaxland, an expert on Asia-Pacific defense and security issues at Australian National University. He likened the current broad-based team effort to the cooperation after the devastating tsunami that struck Indonesia and other countries in the Indian Ocean region a decade ago.
"It's a silver lining to a new dark cloud that has emerged," Blaxland added. "I think it's a pretty exciting and encouraging development."
Relatives of Flight 370 passengers, particularly those from China, have been very critical of the Malaysian government's handling of the investigation, and some U.S. Republican lawmakers Sunday complained about what they regard as a lack of openness and cooperation from Malaysia. But President Obama's deputy national security advisor, Tony Blinken, said Sunday: "If there's anything encouraging in a tragedy like this, it's you have countries working together in ways that they haven't before.
"We have the South Koreans, the Chinese, the Australians, New Zealand, the United States, Canada, all working in the same direction, which is to get to the bottom of what happened," he said on CNN.
The White House is preparing for an Obama trip next month to East Asia, where he plans to visit Malaysia, among other countries. Though events in the Middle East and now Russia have occupied the president's foreign policy efforts, leaving him less time to pursue the administration's strategy to step up its role in Asia, the U.S. has been extensively involved in the Flight 370 case, with the FBI, Navy, NASA and other agencies helping with the investigation and search.
"There clearly is a political element to it for many countries, particularly China," said Euan Graham, a maritime security specialist at the S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies in Singapore. With Chinese nationals accounting for the majority of the 239 people aboard Flight 370, Beijing faces considerable "grass-roots pressures that it has capabilities it can deploy in China's interests. This is a test case that [Beijing] can make the grade."
On one hand, China's response to the missing flight has demonstrated its technical prowess and formidable resources — from its pictures, taken from one of its many satellites, to the ships Beijing has in the Indian Ocean now steaming toward the location of the objects.
China's extensive naval presence in the region has been a growing concern among a number of Southeast Asian nations that feel Beijing has been throwing its weight around to advance its commercial and political interests. China has clashed with Vietnam, Indonesia and the Philippines over fishery and other issues.
The effort to find Flight 370 has presented opportunities for Beijing to show a different face. Although Beijing has been frustrated at Malaysia's management of the search and investigation, Chinese officials at times have tried to be diplomatic, passing on information about satellite findings right away to Malaysian officials to allow them to announce it to the international media, as well as sharing it quickly with Australia.
"That was a very significant courtesy they extended to Malaysia," said Blaxland. "I think we're seeing countries recognize that collaboration on such issues is in everybody's interest.... I don't view this as a zero-sum game."

[FAQ] What is the speed vs. length correlation for isolated RS-485?
What is the speed vs. length correlation for isolated RS-485?
There is an inverse relationship between signal rate (speed) and cable length. The exact relationship depends on the resistance and inductance of the cable itself. When building an RS-485 network, the choice of cable can be as important as the transceiver, in order to ensure reliable communication over the necessary distance. Below is a graphical representation of the signal rate to cable length correlation. Region 3 of the figure shows the maximum cable length regardless of signal rate; in this area of the curve, the DC resistance of the cable causes attenuation in the signal and limits the maximum communication distance. Region 2 illustrates the inverse relationship between signal rate and cable length caused by transmission line losses, which will increase with a longer cable. In Region 1, you can neglect transmission line losses; the driver's rise and fall times determine the main limitation on the maximum data rate. The RS-485 standard recommends a maximum signal rate of 10Mbps; however, with today's technology, signal rates as high as 50Mbps are available.

LAST YEAR I DID A PERFORMANCE WHERE ON A TRANSPARENT PLEXIGLASS I WAS RECORDING THE MOTION OF CITY – " TIME IN STRIPES". IT WAS GIVEN TO ME TO DO IT ONE MORE TIME IN DIFFERENT CONTEXT AND WITH SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT APPROACH.
JEANS BRAND LEVIS WAS JUST ABOUT TO LAUNCH THEIR NEW COLLECTION WITH THE MESSAGE "GO FORTH" AND WANTED TO MAKE A SHOW FOR BUYERS. THEY BROUGHT UP TOGETHER DANCERS, MODELS, MODELS, CHOREOGRAPHER, LIGHTING GUYS,MUSICIAN AND ME AS PAINTER TO CREATE "SOMETHING".
FOR MY PART I THOUGHT TO EXPLORE ONE MORE TIME THE IDEA OF RECORDING TIME RATHER THEN OBJECT; I SAW MYSELF AS A SCANNER THAT FOLLOWS THE EVENT AS TIME GOES FORTH. THIS EVENING I WAS OBSERVING AND EXPRESSING THE SHOW BY FILLING UP THE PLEXIGLASS CANVAS FROM LEFT TO RIGHT; EVERY PARTICULAR MOMENT (DANCE, CAT WALK, SPEECH, MUSIC BAND ) RECEIVE IT'S OWN LANGUAGE OF PAINT, COLOR, DRILLS, WRITING ETC. BY THE END THE WORK RESEMBLE TO A DIARY – AN ABSTRACT DIARY OF THE EVENT.
AFTER THE SHOW WITH FRIENDS WE CUT THE UPPER PART OF THE PLEXIWALL AND TRANSPORTED IT BACK TO MY STUDIO. IT'S HEAVY LIKE HELL! THERE IS ACTUALLY 3 PIECES OF IT WHAT ALLOWS TO PLAY WITH CONFIGURATIONS : THE ORIGINAL ONE " GO – FOR – TH" OR ANOTHER ONE ALSO RELATED TO THE NOTION OF TIME AND DIARY "FOR – GO – T" NOW I'M TRYING TO PUSH SOME CLIENTS TO GET THE WHOLE AS A ROOM SEMI-SEPARATION WITH LIGHTING. THIS WORK SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO BE VIEWED FROM BOTH SIDES IN A WAY OF A SCULPTURE – THAT'S I GUESS ANOTHER BEAUTY OF PLEXIGLASS.
I cant identify your rss button, how do you register with it?
You earlier sttead: the cumulative total usage since the meter was installed is transmitted to the utility once every four hours and while that may be true, that alone would not allow me to see my hourly usage, so the data transmission must include more than just the cumulative total every 4 hours it must include the hourly totals.
You were so fortunate to have had him. I feel fortunate to have spent time with him. He was the only person I've ever called "Daddy" ( I called my own father "R.T.") and Mr. Wells went along with that appellation from a friend of his beloved "El." I think of his sayings often–just the other day I was preparing for war in time of peace–something I have only recently learned to do in the context in which he meant it. A lovely, well-deserved tribute.
Thanks on behalf of these guidelines. Single machine I also deem is credit cards providing a 0% interest a lot plea to consumers in zilch degree, second sanction and laid-back on-line balance transfers, on the contrary beware of the number one cause that can void your 0% painless streets yearly percentage rate and also fling you absent keen on the meager accommodation rapid.
That was hot! A hot MESS.I've learned the hard way that matching one's hair to one's lipstick, and wearing green eyeshadow and false eyelashes that make you look like the elephant from Sesame Street is not a style winner. Chez, you need to look at Hot Ghetto Mess, if you haven't already. Fantasia looks tidy in comparison. Still, it took my mind off wanting to punch David Archuleta, I don't know about anyone else!

Savaged by the critics on release, Kubrick's masterpiece The Shining is now the Ulysses of film analysis
More has probably been written about Kubrick's 1980 classic The Shining than any other of his canon, even 2001: A Space Odyssey. But what is it that compels sad people like myself to be constantly analysing every scene, every character, every iconographic element, every shot, even things that are not necessarily there?
But isn't this why so many films prevail and maintain their interest with the viewing public and why so many films become classics rather than those that sweep over you and you've forgotten everything about before you've left the cinema?
It's a criminally overused word and I'd avoid using it if I could but The Shining encapsulates everything about the adjective 'iconic'. For me, it's one of the few films that is not only better than it's source material but actually transcends its genre. It irritates me hugely when I hear people refer to it as a horror film. It's so much more than that. So much so that I won't even try to describe it generically. On its release so many critics dismissed it for not having 'enough shocks', for being 'too slow or plodding' in its narrative, characters who were 'hard to connect with'. It was more than 10 years before critics began to re-evaluate it and see it as a film that broke generic, narrative and technical boundaries and it's why viewers are still discussing it today.
Stanley Kubrick only made 12 films in 45 years. Half of this number were made in his first 10 years as a major studio director between 1955 and 1964. But his output not only became increasingly complex in style and narrative but covered most genres including science fiction, historical drama, comedy, war, dystopian fantasy and, ok, horror (but in its widest possible context!). His blockbuster SF film which trumpeted the fact 'genius at work', 2001: A Space Odyssey was like nothing ever seen before in cinema. Over 50 years after its release it still seems way ahead of its time. The success of 2001 meant Kubrick could pick and choose what his next project was going to be and, true to form, he surprised the film world by choosing a fairly obscure dystopian fantasy novel by prolific British writer and academic Anthony Burgess, A Clockwork Orange (much more on this below). The furore this film caused, particularly in Kubrick's adopted home in the UK caused him to withdraw it within a year of its release. He went on to make the uncontroversial historical drama Barry Lyndon, again from a lesser known Thackeray novel which, although performing reasonably well financially, it was, at the time, seen as a critical failure. Like so many of Kubrick's films, Barry Lyndon has been re-appraised in recent years and seen as much more of a success than it was when released.
After the critical maulings he received for A Clockwork Orange and Barry Lyndon, Kubrick decided on a different approach to his next project. He was going to make a film that would have widespread appeal due to its subject matter but would bear heavily the unique Kubrick stylistic imprint. And after reading many, many horror stories (some for only the first couple of pages) he landed upon a recent Stephen King novel entitled The Shining. Here he could see possibilities but that meant jettisoning much of King's original story and retaining, pretty much, only the conceit and general framework of the source material. This, of course, did not please Stephen King although, over the years, he seems to have made his peace slightly with Kubrick's version. And so he should as Kubrick removed many of the silly fantastical elements such as topiary animals which come to life and much of the run-of-the-mill hotel backstory and created an atmosphere and narrative that still fascinates.
The final version of the poster and Saul Bass's rejected version
To begin with the poster for the film is as enigmatic as the film itself. Kubrick was big enough in the film world at the time to go for the best and it was to the legendary Saul Bass he approached to come up with something suitably cryptic. Bass was responsible for classic poster and opening credit sequences for some of the greatest films ever made. In fact, often Bass's work is remembered when the film may not be. He's even credited with directing one of the most famous and most brilliant scenes in the history of cinema, the shower scene in Hitchcock's Psycho.
And Bass didn't disappoint in the esoteric stakes coming up with an image that didn't even appear in the film. Bass's original design was red and featured a pointillistic, cartoonish doll-like character but typically Kubrick liked the image but opted for a yellow rather than red poster. Recently I attended the Kubrick exhibition at The Design Centre in London. There they displayed a number of other designs Bass had come up with, many of which, to me, were considerably more effective than the poster chosen. But there's no point in attempting to fathom why Kubrick made the decisions he did. You just have to assume he's usually right.
Three rejected Saul Bass posters with Kubrick's hand-written comments
I don't intend in this blog article to even summarise the story of The Shining as, in the unlikely event of anyone reading this article, most people will have seen the film anyway or at least know what happens in it. My purpose is to highlight some of the elements which make The Shining a film that so people return to again and again and constantly reinterpret. So my approach, as usual, will be scattergun, rambling and sometimes abstruse but this is what The Shining brings out in people like me. And I couldn't be happier about that.
The film begins in suitably Kubrickian expansive way with aerial shots of the Torrance's yellow beetle car moving beetle-like across a vast Coloradan landscape. Kubrick used electronic composer Wendy Carlos again to create the dark, foreboding, brooding soundtrack which accompanies the main characters journey towards their winter caretaking stint at the soon-to-be desolate Overlook Hotel in the Colorado mountains. Carlos had created the futuristic soundscapes for Kubrick's previous film A Clockwork Orange and The Shining would be her last collaboration with Kubrick as, according to her, too many compositions to accompany scenes in the film did not make it into the final cut. Anyone watching this film for the first time would be left in no doubt that these tiny characters were heading towards adversity given the tone and atmosphere built up by the musical opening.
The central character, Jack Torrance is played by Jack Nicholson who was Kubrick's first choice for the role. Other actors to be considered included Robert De Niro, who it was possible to envisage as Torrance, Robin Williams, who it wasn't, and Harrison Ford, who would have been more in keeping with Stephen King's ideas for the part. Rather than Nicholson's manic and menacing turn almost from scene 1, King wanted to see a decent character gradually deteriorate psychologically becoming a threat to his family through months of cabin fever in the Overlook Hotel and due to other types of supernatural influence. Nicholson's performance was ridiculed as being overblown and hammy by many critics at the time but and one can' t help but think that the meticulous Kubrick liked the idea of Nicholson's, allegedly, coke-fuelled mania which just added to Torrance's psychological collapse and descent into madness.
Jack's first major appearance where he is interviewed for the job of out-of-season caretaker at the Overlook Hotel immediately sets the scene for the rest of the film. He's informed of a brutal murder which took place around 10 years before when the caretaker, at the time, Charles/Delbert Grady, went mad and killed his wife and two young girls with an axe. From then on Jack's mental deterioration and gradual homicidal path is brilliantly represented through a series of masterly images and set pieces, leading to a ground-breaking steadi-cam inspired denouement in the hotel's freezing maze.
The interview scene is intercut with scenes of Danny talking to a character he refers to as 'Tony' who is 'inside his mouth' who 'tells him things'. Through Tony, Danny can see into the future and possesses abilities ordinary people don't. Tony tells Danny something so terrifying Danny faints in utter shock and we are made aware that this has to do with the place they are going to be spending the winter the Overlook Hotel. When they arrive there Danny immediately strikes up a friendship with the hotel's cook, Halloran, who has the same abilities and calls it 'shining.' Halloran is able to see Danny has these abilities but also makes him aware of what might happen when he is in the hotel alone and warns him off entering room 237. Soon Danny is seeing disturbing images from the hotel's past which link to what Jack was told during his interview.
Much of the debate about the film surrounds the question of whether the hotel is actually haunted by the ghosts of its bloody past or is it all happening in Jack and even Wendy and Danny's heads. This is where Kubrick diverges significantly with King. In Kubrick's Overlook events are open to interpretation, nothing is ever quite what it seems and often metaphorical.
One of the enduring and memorable images from the film is of the elevator doors in the main reception opening and a torrent of blood emerging from them. This is a nightmare Danny experiences on more than one occasion, a nightmare that foreshadows the terrible events awaiting him at the Overlook Hotel.
Another criticism of the film, according to critic Roger Ebert, is that it lacks a 'reliable' observer. Jack is clearly unreliable from almost the moment he enters the hotel, Wendy is too sensitive and almost afraid of Jack to be aware of everything happening around her and there is so much going on in Danny's head that it's difficult to know just what exactly is really happening at any point in the film. This, I believe, is exactly what Kubrick wanted, if the characters are confused and bewildered then so will the audience.
All three characters see the 'ghosts' of the hotel at different times. Danny sees them from almost the moment he enters the hotel and this is due to his supernatural abilities. But Jack's spectral encounters take longer to happen and are more problematic. Does he really see ghosts or is it his deteriorating psyche that is responsible for these illusions or even his alcoholism? Kubrick, of course, deliberately creates these enigmatic confrontations.
Your money's no good here Mr. Torrance
Jack's first meeting is with barman Lloyd after being accused by Wendy of attacking Danny. Here we find that Jack may have a problem with alcohol after he relates the story of when he injured Danny when he was still very young. Lloyd plies Jack with whisky, 'Your money's no good here Mr Torrance.' But is this merely Jack losing his grip on reality with his desperation for a drink fermenting his delusions. Is he really drinking alcohol or just imagining it? Later in the film Jack walks into the ballroom again and this time it's populated by the ghosts of the guests of the hotel from many years ago. As well as encountering Lloyd again he literally bumps into Delbert Grady, the former caretaker who killed his family some years previously. A chilling conversation takes place in the blood-red toilet as Grady cleans up the drink he spilt on Jack. It is here that we as viewers begin to almost accept that Jack is in conversation with a murderous ghost as Grady warns him of Halloran coming to help Danny and Wendy. If Grady was a figment of Jack's feverish imagination how would Jack have known this? Grady advises Jack euphemistically that maybe Danny and Wendy need 'correcting'. We , as viewers at this point, know exactly what Grady is suggesting.
Perhaps they need 'correcting'…
These pivotal 'ghostly' scenes where Jack supposedly meets both Delbert Grady and Lloyd the barman feature two stalwarts of Kubrick films, Philip Stone and Joe Turkel. Both actors appeared in three Kubrick films, more than any other actor. Stone also appeared in A Clockwork Orange and Barry Lyndon, Turkel in The Killing and Paths of Glory. Both play parts of chilling low-key menace.
A second similar question arises when Jack is locked in the food store by Wendy. He hears Grady outside once again encouraging him to bring Danny and Wendy into line. And eventually the door is opened for him. If not a ghost, who lets Jack out? A few theories have been suggested as to how Jack escapes from the store room. For me the most plausible is that Danny let him out. Maybe Danny knew that this was the only way he was going to stop Jack murdering his mother and him and leading him into the maze was the most effective way. So why didn't Kubrick let us see Danny do this? For the same reason so many other events were cloaked in mystery. Of course the director wants to keep us guessing, hence the lack of a reliable narrator which is just too predictable for Kubrick. He wants us to be as bemused, bewildered and beguiled as the characters. So if that's the smoke, what about the mirrors? You may well ask.
As Jack prowls around the corridors and rooms of the Overlook, each time he appears to encounter some sort of apparition, mirrors are very close by. In Room 237, in the toilet when he encounters Grady, at the back of the bar when he encounters Lloyd the barman and even on the shiny metallic door when he hears Grady outside the storeroom. So does this mean that these ghosts are real or are they just transpositions or reflections of his own crumbling sanity? Is the evil he is apparently confronting just the mirror image of his own psychological deterioration? In the novel Jack finds a scrapbook which includes news clippings and photographs of things that happened at the Overlook since its opening in 1910, he already knew about Grady and maybe Lloyd the barman was a former employee he read about. In the film we see, at one point, the scrapbook sitting on Jack's work table but is never referred to. It seems as if Kubrick, once again, decided that this was too much of an explanation or backstory for the events that followed and that he'd prefer viewers to be left rather more in the dark.
And let's not forget about Wendy. Despite being oblivious, seemingly, to some of the things that are happening before her very eyes, when the shit hits the fan and she is frantically looking for Danny through the dimly lit back corridors of the Overlook, she almost literally bumps into some of the ghosts of the hotel past. The elderly man with the wound in his head, the man in the bear suit performing something beastly on another tuxedoed guest suddenly appear to her. Why?
In the US version of the film she runs into the ballroom to be met with previous guests, maybe the ones that were partying when Jack stumbled into Grady, but this time they are all skeletons. Strangely, Kubrick cut this scene from the European version of the film. Once again, did he feel a European audience didn't need to be hit over the head metaphorically with images showing the ghosts of the hotel revealing themselves to Wendy? The skeleton scene, for me, is a step back into Carry On Screaming territory and detracts from the brilliantly enigmatic aspects of The Shining.
This place is dead.
But the question still remains. Why did it take so long for Wendy to see these apparitions? At the start of the film Halloran suggested to Danny that 'shining' might run in the family. He said that his grandmother and he used to have conversations without even opening their mouths as they both had the shining. So where did Danny get it? Danny clearly tries to suppress his abilities. He's almost embarrassed to admit it to Halloran and maybe Wendy has suppressed this talent until she became so stressed that her shining began to manifest itself and she started to see the ghosts of the hotel through her unfiltered perception. Or maybe Jack also has the shining, hence his ability to encounter the characters from the hotel's past. It might also explain why he knew about Halloran's return.
The man in the bear suit is puzzling. At first I thought it was a reference to an episode from King's novel that happened many years before the Torrances arrived at the Overlook. A gangster who stayed there used to humiliate one of his hangers-on by making him dress up and bark like a dog with tragic consequences. However, the man, if it is a man, is wearing what looks like a bear suit. A perfectionist like Kubrick would not substitute a dog suit for a bear suit for no reason. However, Rob Ager at www.collativelearning.com makes a very compelling case for this being part of an elaborate series of clues planted by Kubrick to suggest that Jack had been sexually abusing Danny. Now this might seem a bit of a stretch but it's worth checking out what this analysis by Rob Ager has come up with. Certainly food for thought.
Another aspect of the film which is far superior to the novel is the ending. In the novel one of Jack's main roles as caretaker is to look after the antiquated heating system which, after his breakdown, is neglected leading to Danny and Wendy escaping from the hotel with Halloran's help just as the boiler blows up killing Jack who was still in there. The film version ending features one of the great edits in cinematic history cutting from a long scene with jack bellowing like a wounded animal to a static daylight image of him frozen to death. Sadly, for me, the final slow zoom into the photograph on the wall of the Overlook reception, finally focusing on Jack's doppelgänger in the July 4th 1921 ball, suggesting Jack has been there in a previous life (You have always been the caretaker…) almost ruins the ending completely. But not quite. It's as if Kubrick felt he had to throw the audience some crumbs of explanation but he needn't have bothered, although it probably placated some critics looking for 'closure' of some kind.
The film has been responsible for a number of interesting contributions to popular cultural. The phrase 'All Work And No Play Makes Jack A Dull Boy' has become synonymous with the film. Jack has been hard at work on his new novel for weeks and even becomes aggressive with Wendy when she interrupts him one day. Jack then disappears from his desk and Wendy looks at the reams of typewritten sheets that he has compiled. To her horror very sheet has this same phrase written in different formations. It is at this point that she realises, although one suspects she always knew, that something has gone seriously wrong with Jack's mind. Interestingly, other country's versions used a different idiom to the English version. In Germany it was, rather mundanely, 'Never Put Off Till Tomorrow What Can Be Done Today.' Much more poetic was the Italian version: 'The Morning Has Gold In Its Mouth.' The French version was slightly more enigmatic: 'One 'Here You Go' is worth two 'You'll Have Its'. Hmmm.
Every page typed out by Kubrick himself. Allegedly.
The scene in The Shining that everyone remembers is when Jack crashes through the bathroom door with an axe and announces 'Heeeerrre's Johnny!' where a terrified Wendy cowers. When the film was released in the UK in 1979 few people would have recognised that phrase although everyone in the US would have. America's biggest chat show was The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson with an audience of millions. This programme was not broadcast in the UK at the time although it was for a short time in the 1980s. Johnny Carson would be introduced each night by his sidekick Ed McMahon with a 'Heeeerrrre's Johnny! It was as familiar to American audiences as 'Ooh Betty!' was to British audiences in the 70s. Although if Jack had used that one instead it might have had a slightly different effect. Two (quite) interesting facts about this iconic scene. Firstly, Nicholson improvised the line at the time and amazingly for perfectionist Kubrick, he decided to leave it in, and secondly as Jack Nicholson was a trained volunteer fireman the door he chopped down was a real one and, once again, given Kubrick's meticulousness, a great many doors were harmed in the making of this film.
For a film that was described by one critic as 'A crashing disappointment..' at the time is now one of the most analysed films in cinema history, Jonathan Romney of The Guardian was closer to the truth when he called The Shining, '..a palace of paradox.' For a film that was nominated for more Razzies than any other Kubrick title and nominated for no Oscars (the only Kubrick film not to be) it continues to fascinate and puzzle 50 years since its release. This article has only scratched at the surface of this Joycean maze and there are so many more elements that could have been explored but to paraphrase the Italian idiom changed in the film, The Shining has, and always will, have gold in its mouth.
Kubrick's smoke and mirrors continue to confound.

title: The Next Era of Remapping Caps Lock
---

I had previously [written](/2010/12/02/remap-capslock-to-control-on-a-mac.html) about [remapping](/2013/06/26/remapping-caps-lock-was-only-the-beginning.html) parts of the keyboard, but most of those techniques had stopped working as Apple continued to evolve the Mac.

The latest generation of Apple products was threatening my precious keyboard control. The TouchBar on make `esc` an awkward virtual key, and macOS Sierra broke Karabiner. It was a little rough there for a while. Shortly after Sierra was released Takayama Fumihiko created the [Karabiner-Elements](https://github.com/tekezo/Karabiner-Elements) project, but it lacked much of the functionality of the original. Necessary step back to move forward, but no fun.

But that is all a thing of the past, the new era has arrived. Karabiner-Elements now supports complex rules.

### Magic Mapping #1: Caps Lock

The most important complex rule for me, especially for any Mac with a TouchBar, is the dual function `caps_lock` key.

1. Act like `control` when pressed with any other key. So if you use it in a chord it will just be control, e.g. `control-c` but with the Caps lock key.
1. Act like `esc` if you press and release the key. So if you just tap the key it will send `esc`.

### Magic Mapping #2: Vim Arrows

The other mapping that I love having is `control+h/j/k/l` to be the arrow keys. This way I have vim-like navigation in every app. Some apps on Mac already map `control-j/k` to `up/down`, but if you remap it to the arrows it will just work like you expect everywhere.

### How to set up these custom mappings

Karabiner-Elements has a fantastic way to import custom rules. If you have the app installed just click the following link and it will open automatically.

[Add Rules to Karabiner](karabiner://karabiner/assets/complex_modifications/import?url=https%3A%2F%2Fraw.githubusercontent.com%2Fcsexton%2Fcsexton.github.com%2Fmaster%2Fkarabiner%2Frules.json)

You will see a confirmation asking you to open it in the app:

![Confirmation Dialog](/images/karabiner-1.png)

It will confirm the rules you are importing:

![Import Dialog](/images/karabiner-2.png)

Then give you the option to add the ones you want.

Let me know if this is helpful, or if you have slightly different configurations you prefer.

Standing in front of the Vancouver Art Gallery, Andy Rimer adjusts his tight yellow short-shorts, which he wears atop his custom-made, neon checkered spandex outfit.
"Today, I am wearing a luxurious one-piece," said the 22-year-old, as he modeled his outfit with a laugh, pulling a pair of black goggles over his curly locks and placing his oldschool boom box on the sidewalk. The Andy Samberg look-alike spent a moment skipping through techno songs before bursting out onto the street and gyrating down the road.
He moon-walked, break-danced and freestyled down the pavement, and pedestrians couldn't help but laugh. As Rimer danced circles around an unsuspecting businessman carrying a briefcase and shook his booty at a middle-aged man, an old woman on an electric scooter stopped to watch and smiled.
His parents know him as Andy, but Rimer is better known as his alter-ego, Spandy Andy: Vancouver's spandex-wearing break-dancer, who has dominated the street-performing scene since his first appearance at English Bay.
After his audition on So You Think You Can Dance Canada was aired nation-wide, and he won the title of Colgate's Freshest Dancer and $10,000, "Spandy" has returned to the streets of Vancouver to do what he loves best: make people smile. Even though many choose to shy away from his wild antics, Rimer doesn't mind in the least: this is what he loves to do.
Although the cold weather didn't stop his performance today, the approaching Vancouver Olympics could. According to the City of Vancouver, buskers are not permitted anywhere near the Olympic venues during the 2010 games. A representative from the city's busking department told the Chronicle that the ban around the Olympics was due to "security concerns," something Rimer has a hard time understanding.
The city wanted to make it clear that artists have the opportunity to perform in other areas of the city, as long as they have a permit and follow the city's guidelines.
Within the past year, Rimer has fought many battles with city officials, including one over the volume of his boom box and another over where he can park his neon-green electric scooter, but this is by far his biggest battle. With recent changes to the regulations, Rimer could bunable to perform in public.
"We are not allowing any music amplification [including] batteryoperated or electric…no boom boxes," said the city's representative. That's a change to the original "reasonable" volume control allowed last year.
The new restrictions and Olympic ban has forced Rimer to take "Spandy Andy" elsewhere, seeking out local community-building project "I Heart Van Art" to support his act. I Heart Van Art has partnered with the Yaletown Business Improvement association, according to Rimer, who said the association would be filling up the streets of Yaletown for a 17-day street event during the Olympics.
Rimer plans to apply as a performer at the event, but he also has a way of getting around the city's bylaws, allowing "Spandy Andy" a chance at worldwide fame, as tourists from all over the world swarm the Vancouver Games.
As Rimer danced past a row of cars stopped at a traffic light near the Art Gallery and signalled for them to start dancing, a middle-aged man rolled down his window and began dancing behind the wheel. A huge smile came across Rimer's face, as he danced with the man until the light turned green.

California woman joins chorus of Trump accusers
Another woman came forward on Saturday (October 22) to accuse Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump of inappropriate conduct.
Jessica Drake, an adult film industry actor and director, told reporters at a news conference in Los Angeles that Trump grabbed her and kissed without asking, and then offered her money and the use of his private jet if she would spend the evening with him.
"Donald called. He asked me to return to his suite and have dinner with him…I declined. Donald then asked me: 'What do you want. How much?' I told him that I couldn't because I had to return to L.A. for work. I said that as an excuse because I didn't want him to continue asking me and I didn't want to be with him." She told the briefing that she later received another call offering her $10,000 and the use of Trump's private jet if she would accept his invitation.
Drake said the encounter occurred at a golf tournament in Lake Tahoe ten years ago. She said she is coming forward now to show her support for the other women who have accused the New York businessman of inappropriate conduct. She added that Trump's actions showed his character as that of "uncontrollable misogyny, entitlements and to being a sexual assault apologist."
At least 10 women accused Trump of making unwanted sexual advances, including groping them or kissing them, between the early 1980s and 2007. Trump has denied all of the accusations.

Shaun Harvey – smile on the face of the jackal?
The natural state of any football fan is one of unease, dissatisfaction, maybe even a touch of paranoia. The game is like that; it builds you up, raises your expectations – and then brings you crashing down to earth with an almighty bump. There are exceptions, of course. Some sets of fans have it easy by regular standards. But there are few hiding places, few protected bubbles of success. Even Man U fans, in their Devon armchairs, have experienced the bitter tang of reality this season.
How much more likely is it, then, that we fans of Leeds United will view the world outside of our own beloved club with a jaundiced and suspicious eye, ready at any time for some or other callous institution to do us a bad turn. Look at our history over the past half-century, and there's never been too long between one grievous injustice and the next.
Now we wait for the Football League to pass judgement on a takeover that might just see us free of the sucking morass of poverty that's been dragging us down for so long. We are looking at two sharply diverging paths ahead: upwards towards top-flight glory with funding appropriate to the size of the club – or back down among the dead men, without a pot to do the proverbial in, headed for another administration and ruing the day. Which shall it be? Leeds United must await the long, gleefully drawn-out pleasure of the Football League.
And who, pray, sits at the head of the body making this future-defining judgement? Why, it is none other than Shaun Harvey, erstwhile CEO of Leeds United in the unlamented Bates years, complicit in the actions which typified the reign of a man who once swore to bring about the death of our club, if he possibly could. When Bates finally fell, Harvey was finished at Leeds too. The two acted in tandem during a nightmare period for United and, in the minds of Whites fans, there was little to choose between them in the final analysis.
So how has a man with such baggage as this ended up as the ultimate arbiter in a case with such grave implications for a famous old football club to which he contributed no great service during his time there? How could such a possible conflict of interests have been allowed to transpire? Can real justice be done here? Can it be seen to be done??
It's certainly not an ideal situation, is it – not by any stretch of the imagination. But, lest we forget, the League have prior form for tolerating what would seem to be blatant conflicts of interest regarding Leeds, and in the fairly recent past, too. During United's first season in League One, the thorny issue of the 15 point deduction – the controversy which eventually denied Leeds an immediate, automatic promotion – was voted on by fellow League clubs, many of whom, our League One rivals, had a vested interest in keeping Leeds at that level, thereby benefiting from our phenomenal away support.
Was justice served? It ended up as a massively complex and technical question. But was it seen to be served? Those vested interests, that undeniable conflict between parochial benefits and the greater good – they say no. Nottingham Forest, the direct beneficiaries of this carve-up, would argue the opposite as they celebrated an unearned promotion. But the whole thing left a nasty taste which persists to this day.
If Leeds are to be cheated of their saviour, must it really be signalled by a Judas in the reptilian form of Shaun Harvey, poised to betray his former club with the kiss of death? Couldn't they at least maintain a semblance of judicial disinterest, reaching a decision without the dubious input or decisive vote of Bates' former henchman – leading as it might to a fulfilment of old Ken's 30 years-ago vow to kill Leeds United off once and for all?
If things pan out that way, everyone will know that there's something rotten in the state of our football administration. Anomalies like this should not crop up, not when the fate of a football club – which, let's not forget, looms so large in so many thousands of lives – is quite probably at stake.
Let's have the right decision, by the League's own rules – the standards that permit paragons of virtue like Carson Yeung, Vincent Tan and Assem Allam to run various of our clubs. Cellino would be OK by that reckoning – so let him get in and get on with saving the club which gave English League Football its finest team.
But if it all goes wrong – well. We'll know at whom to point the accusing finger of blame – won't we?
Here we are, then. The deal is all but done. Save only for what should really be the formality of Football League approval, Massimo Cellino is the new owner of Leeds United, having purchased a 75% stake in the club, the remaining 25% remaining in the hands of GFH and their various investors. A fairly complex management structure will be in place, seeing Haigh and Nooruddin retain executive positions, something that Cellino himself has at least initially set aside in favour of the non-executive President's role. But there is absolutely no doubt at all wherein resides the power behind the throne; Cellino has promised to re-purchase the Elland Road stadium and move to Yorkshire – he also intends to take the same hands-on approach to player recruitment as he took at Cagliari. How all this will pan out in practice remains to be seen. The proof of the Yorkshire Pudding will be in the eating.
So, what of this Football League "formality"? Well, guess what. It now seems likely to be spun out for as long as those men in suits can feasibly manage. On the face of it, neither Cellino's existing convictions, regarded as "spent" under English law, nor his pending prosecution for embezzlement (innocent until proven otherwise) can currently be counted against him. In the absence of any other apparent issues, the Football League (under their own tightly-defined rules) would seem to have little option other than to rubber-stamp this takeover. But when this august body finally commented on the matter earlier on the Friday before the weekend of the Yeovil game, it was only to say that they required further information from Cellino and from GFH. Until this information was forthcoming, it concluded tersely, the matter would not be progressed. Oh, and you can't have that Italian lad Tabanelli on loan either – it was all done against the rules. Oh dear, how sad, tough.
So, what should be a simple matter will drag on, it seems, for at least another week. Meanwhile, the financial situation at Leeds United is becoming steadily clearer and the picture being painted is not a pretty one. It would seem that, until the eventual approval of our Italian saviour, we do not have the proverbial pot in which to do the proverbial. It's so hard to dismiss the image of pasty little men in grey suits rubbing their hands in glee over the way in which they have been able to prolong the discomfort of a club they have long treated as a pariah compared to the rest of the "football family". In this, they are acting very much in line with what the late unlamented Alan Hardaker, Football League Secretary back in the day, would have wanted and approved.
Alan Hardaker was a failed footballer turned successful bureaucrat, exhibiting the kind of pettifogging regard for rules and regulations, to the exclusion of common sense, observed in many such grey and rigid little men. Once he had taken a dislike to United manager Don Revie – and admittedly, it was mutual – he seemed to allow this emotion to colour all of his dealings with Yorkshire's premier club. Decisions were made which seem utterly extraordinary now – the requirement to play a title decider 48 hours after the Cup Final win in 1972 stands out, but that frankly bizarre decision was no isolated example of official intransigence. Hardaker was usually outspoken in defence of his position, leaning over backwards to justify himself whilst, in the same breath, explaining how the disputes were all Revie's fault anyway. He described the United boss as " totally ruthless, selfish, devious and prepared to cut corners to get his own way", stating also that "As secretary of the Football League I often found Don Revie, as the manager of Leeds United, to be a pain in the neck". In the light of such comments, it is no surprise that Leeds were usually lacking for friends in high places. Their pursuit of every honour in the game left them in need of some breathing-space and consideration now and again – but none was to be had under Hardaker and this played a large part in United's fate of being seen as always the bridesmaids, never the brides.
Alan Hardaker has been dead for almost 34 years now, but his memory is honoured in the eyes of Leeds-haters everywhere, every time an official decision is taken to the detriment of that much-maligned club. Brian Mawhinney, loathsome Tory and willing tormentor of Leeds over the "Minus 15" debacle, was a worthy successor to the Hardaker legacy. Now we have Shaun Harvey in the box seat, former Bates poodle and hardly free of prejudice where the interests of Leeds United are concerned. Hardaker would be proud of them both; nobody standing at his graveside would be able to detect the sound of any spinning going on down there. Hull-born, Hardaker openly hated Don Revie's Leeds United – and that rancid sentiment tainted all of his dealings with the club whilst he was in office. The current incumbents are rather less vocal than the late Alan, it must be said. Brian Mawhinney, for instance, was much given to weasel words about Leeds being a valued member of the football family – but the underlying attitudes haven't changed noticeably, as was demonstrated in the saga which developed around the 15 point deduction which – only just – managed to keep United back in League One after that first season, to the undeserved benefit of Nottingham Forest who copped fur a promotion they'd failed by some distance to merit on the field. To this day, apparently, the Football League will still do Leeds United a bad turn if they possibly can.
It will be very interesting to see which way the League do eventually jump. Any decision to reject Cellino would seem hard to justify under the rules as they exist – but you get the feeling that, the more Leeds fans have realised they have a possible new era of financial muscle and security in prospect, the less keen those little grey men have been to give the deal that final seal of approval. A week earlier, it all looked different; angry Leeds fanatics were horrified at the prospect of Cellino, barricading him inside Elland Road and seeing off all attempts at rescue. At that point, the Hardaker thing to do would have been to approve the Italian immediately. Now, the Football League quite possibly perceive a dilemma. How best to serve the worst interests of Leeds United??
It may be that I'm just being paranoid – but remember, that's the natural psychological state of any Leeds fan of long service. If you know yer history, you'll be able to point to many instances where the game has dealt United a disgustingly scurvy hand. So really, it's no wonder we're bleedin' paranoid. But for me at least, the suspicion won't go away that somebody, somewhere is looking to see what spanners they can throw in the works of a deal that looks more and more likely to be Leeds United's best hope of progress onwards and upwards. Indeed, given the parlous nature of matters as they stand, with the club living hand-to-mouth and surviving on ad hoc loans, Cellino may even be the only chance of the club surviving in a form recognisable to its legions of fans worldwide. It could just be that serious. We'll simply have to keep our fingers crossed that the next week can finally see things confirmed, letting us get on at long last with daring to dream and celebrating the purchase of our beloved Elland Road.
So come on, you Football League suits, get your finger out and do the right thing – if only to prove to me that all my dark suspicions have been groundless and that you really are an impartial and benevolent ruling authority with the best interests of ALL its members at heart. Stand up, Shaun Harvey, and prove you're a better man than you appeared when you were yapping obedience to Ken Bates. Let us start dreaming our dreams and debating whether or not we really want del Piero. Can you actually show us, Shaun, that you have some atom of integrity after all?
I really, really hope so. The sooner old Hardaker is angrily spinning away in his grave, the happier I and many thousands more Leeds United fans shall be.

Tlaib, AOC Want Treasury to Deny Tax-Exempt Status to Groups Aiding Israel's 'Illegal Settlement Enterprise'
Ever-vigilant for the integrity of our government, Reps. Rashida Tlaib (D-Anti-Semitic Dog Whistles) and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-Socialist Swag), and five of their henchmen have written to Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, demanding that the Treasury Department stop granting tax-exempt status to American charities that work in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. Because they're aiding and abetting Israel's "illegal settlement enterprise," you see. True to form, however, the Squad duo has clearly not done its homework and betrays ignorance of the basic facts of the case.
The group, which also included the forgotten Muslim member of the House, Rep. André Carson of Indiana, and the forgotten member of the Squad, Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts, declared its "extreme concern that US charities are funding and providing direct support to Israeli organizations that are working to expand and perpetuate Israel's illegal settlement enterprise in violation of international law, including supporting the dispossession and forced displacement of Palestinians from occupied East Jerusalem neighborhoods."
The letter added: "We are concerned that these policies violate US obligations under international law, as well as federal tax law." It claimed that the tax-exempt status of the groups concerned (which include Central Fund of Israel (CFI) and American Friends of Beit El) was essentially a "subsidy" from the U.S. government that was being used to pay for "serious breaches of international law and violations of internationally recognized human rights related to the expansion of the illegal Israeli settlement enterprise." These groups were said the Leftist legislators, "fueling the dispossession and displacement of Palestinians."
Nor was its call limited to those two groups. The letter demands that Yellen provide a list of U.S. charities that are "operating directly or indirectly in any occupied territory."
As is characteristic of the Left, this appeal is long on propagandistic plays on the emotions and short on facts. The falsehoods and distortions begin with the letter's reference to "Israel's illegal settlement enterprise." The underlying assumption here is that Israel is illegally building homes for Israelis on land that doesn't belong to Israel, but is "occupied." Hordes of Leftists in America and elsewhere take this for granted as axiomatically true, but it isn't. As The Palestinian Delusion explains, Israel did indeed take control of the "occupied" territory in question after the Six-Day War of 1967, during which the Muslim Arab states neighboring Israel launched an unprovoked attack upon it; Israel followed the practice of winners of defensive wars throughout world history in taking territory from the defeated aggressors to ensure there would be no repetition of the aggression.
Nor was the "occupied" territory previously part of a state of Palestine. There was no Palestinian state, then or ever. From 1948 to 1967, the West Bank was occupied by Jordan and Gaza by Egypt, yet nary a word was heard in those days about "occupation," despite the fact that neither Jordan nor Egypt had any claim on the occupied territory. In fact, there is only one nation in the world that has any legal claim to that territory, and that nation is none other than Israel. The last nation before Israel to own the territory involved was the Ottoman Empire. As that empire was dissolving, it ceded these lands to the League of Nations, the precursor to the United Nations, which granted them to Britain for the express purpose of encouraging Jewish settlement for a Jewish national home. That national home is Israel; consequently, the land that Tlaib, Ocasio-Cortez, and the rest claim is "occupied" and now covered with "illegal settlements," belongs—by the international law about which they make so much—to Israel, and Israel alone.
The claim that the groups Tlaib and AOC are targeting are "fueling the dispossession and displacement of Palestinians" is likewise false and misleading. The letter to Yellen is no doubt referring to the roiling controversy over the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood in East Jerusalem, where there are ongoing eviction proceedings against a group of Muslim Arab residents. Are they being illegally thrown out of their homes by rapacious apartheid-minded Israelis? No. Here is a summary of the legal issues involved, and the status of the disputed properties. It shows that the land in question has been owned by Jews since 1875 when it was lawfully purchased and that two Israeli organizations registered ownership of this land in 1973. The Muslim Arabs living there do not own the land and have consistently refused to pay rent. Tlaib and AOC are demanding that the United States come to the aid of illegal squatters, which is consistent with their war on landlords in this country but isn't just in either one.
The letter to Yellen is yet another example of the Left's utter indifference to truth. If reality doesn't fit their agenda, so much the worse for reality. And Tlaib and AOC can count on the fact that no one in the establishment media is going to challenge them. After all, today's "journalists" believe all the same nonsense. So what do our winsome Israel-hating congresswomen have to lose?

The Phoenix Plate (also known as the Aluk Plate or Drake Plate) was a tectonic plate that existed during the early Paleozoic through late Cenozoic time. It formed a triple junction with the Izanagi and Farallon plates in the Panthalassa Ocean as early as 410 million years ago, during which time the Phoenix Plate was subducting under eastern Gondwana.

By the Late Jurassic–Early Cretaceous 150–130 million years ago, the Pacific Plate arose from the Izanagi-Farallon-Phoenix triple junction, resulting in the creation of the Izanagi-Pacific-Phoenix and Farallon-Pacific-Phoenix triple junctions. Subduction ceased east of Australia about 120 million years ago, during which time a transform/transpressional boundary formed. This transform/transpressional boundary with the Phoenix Plate lasted until about 80 million years ago as the plate continued to descend southwards as a result of Late Cretaceous subduction under the Antarctic Peninsula.

During the Late Cretaceous or early Cenozoic, the southwestern part of the Phoenix Plate fragmented into the Charcot Plate, much in the same way in which the Rivera and Cocos plates were formed by the fragmentation of the Farallon Plate.

The Antarctic-Phoenix Ridge, a mid-oceanic ridge between the Antarctic and Phoenix plates, initiated following Late Cretaceous to early Cenozoic times when the Phoenix Plate had divergent boundaries with the Bellingshausen and Pacific plates in the southwestern Pacific Ocean. A major decrease in spreading rate of the Antarctic-Phoenix Ridge and the convergence rate of the Phoenix Plate with the Antarctic Plate occurred around 52.3 million years ago, followed by subduction of a segment of the Antarctic-Phoenix Ridge between 50 and 43 million years ago.

Although active subduction occurred for over 100 million years, it stopped or slowed dramatically about 3.3 million years ago when seafloor spreading on the Antarctic-Phoenix Ridge ceased, leaving a small remnant of the former Phoenix Plate incorporated in the Antarctic Plate. This remnant underlies the southwest Drake Passage and is surrounded by the Shackleton Fracture Zone in the northeast, the Hero Fracture Zone in the southwest, the South Shetland Trough in the southeast and the extinct Antarctic-Phoenix Ridge in the northwest.

FINALLY, great fitting underwear that matches her school dress! sHEROes girls school underwear are a contemporary scungie/undie, providing full coverage, superhero-sized underpants that stay in place when girls are cartwheeling or sitting on the floor cross-legged, keeping your daughter covered, comfy and confident at all times. Made from a sustainable, breathable bamboo fibre, in a BSCI certified factory. We spoke to founder Rel Vild to learn more about how she got started.
A tree change, and two young daughters who like to wear dresses to school led me to starting sHEROes.
Turns out there's not much calling for swimwear designers in regional areas, and not a lot of part-time work on offer, so I had to invent my own way to earn some income.
At the time, inspired by their peers at school, my daughters were wearing the little shorties under their dresses, over the top of regular undies because the vertical seam irritated them without.
Having spent 20 years designing and fitting swimwear, I was unhappy with the fit of the shorties and knew I could design something that was far more comfortable, better fitting and quality whilst using sustainable fabric and certified factories to manufacture the garments.
So, I made our own full coverage undies, which don't creep up, from super soft bamboo fibre. My girls loved the fit and fabric, then their friends started to ask for them, and the business started to evolve almost on its own.
After prototyping a few different fabrics and fits until we had the perfect, superhero-inspired, full coverage underpants that stay in place when you are cartwheeling or sitting on the floor cross legged, I went to market.
Starting with our own school and friends, and emailing everyone I knew, I created an online store, and started taking orders. A big leap of faith entailed a sizeable order of stock to get the price I needed in order to be profitable.
I was then accepted into iAccelerate, a business incubator run through University of Wollongong, which helped enormously with education in business and awesome networks and mentor support, giving me a huge boost of confidence and knowledge.
After less than 12 months, sHEROes are now stocked in one retail outlet and six schools, along with the original online store and eBay!
Getting that first retail outlet on board, and the first school to commit and stock the underwear were great moments for my confidence and confirmed there is definitely a market for my niche product. Next breakthrough goal is 20 schools!
