Resetting the waste ink absorber on a Canon printer can resolve some error codes that appear when turning it on.
Press and hold the Resume button (triangle inside a circle).
Whilst it is held down, hold down the Power button. The green led light should come on.
Keep the Power button held down. Release the Resume button and then press it twice. The light should go amber, then green again.
Press the Resume button four times and then press the Power button straight after to confirm the selected action (Reset Counter Absorber).
IT WORKED. THANK YOU CARL. I CAN PRINT AGAIN!!!
If your printer will not power on then I advise checking the power cable to see if its properly connected or could possibly be faulty.
I had the same problem, try unplugging the cord then plugging it in again. It should turn on.
The same thing happened to me!! Did you figure it out???
It worked for my MP510 ! What a scam of a thing! Why don't they put useful information like this in the owners manual instead of all the nonsense in there? Thank you!!
Thank you Carl! You are a godsend! It worked the first time I tried it!
It still doesn't work, I just got it six months ago. I wont buy another Cannon.
It worked fine, AFTER I rebooted my PC!
Thanks, Carl. I had to try the procedure for three/four times, but then it worked. Great!
6C10 error code: Tried this eight times, still unable to print. Manual is not helpful as it reiterates what the error code screen says.
Thank you anyway for the suggestion. Will keep looking for an answer.
It worked! Thank you very much Mr. Norton.
Worked first time – thanks for the info.
Gracias, estuve probando para corregir el error 5100 varias veces y al final lo logre claro con la ayuda de estos consejos, eternemente agradecido, juan de Morón,.
I tried it several times but ik keeps saying Idle after executing point 6. Could you help me with this?
Thank you very much just saved me two hundred bucks buying a new printer.
I have a Canon S 400 printer that is 11 years old. I tried you advice to reset the code about 4 times and it seemed to work, The repair center wanted $ 25.00 just to reset the codes. Thanks you saved me some money.
Got this error after cleaning the print head, took about 6 attempts using your method but it now works beautifully and I have solved the print quality problem too.
Thanks – this whole process saved alot of money.
Mark, did you ever get the procedure to work on your MX860. Same "idle" comes up on mine.
Thank you, worked, had to repeat about 10 times but printing again !!!
Thank you very much. This works very good!
But the error keeps coming back. So I have to do this procedure frequently.
thanks for that, great help. THANK YOU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Worked PERFECTLY — first time!!!
A few weeks ago, I had the error 6C10, I did your solution, it works then, now at the moment again the error 6c10, but it won't works…. Help!!! I did it a several times, but it won't work. Do you have an another solution for it?
Awesome, you saved my day.
Tanikiu bada herea, oina herea.
Hi all. I have an iP4600 and this fix worked for me for a while but I let my printer sit idle for about an hour and then I got the same error code 6C10. I finally got it working again but it was a lot more difficult than it was the first time.
I'm thinking that I will have to eventually open the box and clean the ink pads. I found this manual for an iP4700.
It has pictures to show how to take it apart and it looks similar to mine so I think I can get it done.
but it is a windows utility and I have a Mac running osX.
So, my question is, would this simple fix work after opening the box or would I definitely need the service tool app?
I completed first 4 steps only and cleared error 5100 message thanks very much!!!
Thank you !!!!! this has been an on going thing with my printer, very frustrating, I have now printed these steps for quick reference.
Thank you very much it worked.You are great.
It worked ! Wonderful….you really helped me out. Thanks…you are great !
I have tried it 10x but still can't get it to show green after two Resumes.
Forgot to mention it is an iP1600.
Unfortunately in this case you will need to contact your local cannon repair center.
my printer is mp287, got error 5100. after 5 times, it worked. thanks a lot!
Work on mg5350 Thank you !
after done it, when i try to turn on in again, it's not turn on . what will i do please helpme.
Wow, this actually worked! It took me several tries, but I think it had to do with the number of times I tried to print through the error. I'm getting a 5-blink on the amber light, so now it's a different error, but at least I fixed the first one.
Having the same issue on mp-980. Did you ever find a solution?
I did this and now my printer won't power on at all. Any suggestions??
We do not have any form of hardware or software that resets Canon printers you will need to follow the steps provided.
If these steps do not work you will need to take the printer to an authorised Canon repair engineer.
Total crap though, that this workaround seems necessary.
No more Canon after this failure printer, sometimes it's self-cleaning right if I want to print something, and it's buzzing around for like 3-5 minutes, before ANYTHING comes out! Total non-sense.
Great, now my printer don't start at all.
THANKS ALOT!! YOU HELPED ME U SAVED ME!!! I JUST CREATED MY PROJECT BECAUSE OF THIS! THANKS!
thankyou very much! very helpful!
Cleared the error message on my Pixma MX870 on the first try! Thank You!
Tried your instructions and now my MP495 will not re-start. What do I do?
This did not work for me – indeed, I cannot now start my MP495. What can I do???
Thank you for clear, working instructions! They worked better than the advice I received from professional support group.
I did try several times but the error 6C10 still appears when trying to print. It is happening with all the computers at home WIFI.
Greatly appreciate any help or suggestions.
I tried this about a dozen times on my MG6120 printer but unfortunately it didn't work. Any other ideas on how to address Error 6A81? Thanks.
worked wunderfull for me to..
Hello Pavan, Unfortunately the P10 error is caused by a faulty cartridge, this will require the faulty cartridge to be replaced.
Thanks a lot for this! finally, something that works!
Non funziona, ho provato almeno 10 volte (stampante MG5250). Dopo la procedura, apparentemente si toglie la schermata di errore ma la stampante non funziona (la copia si blocca) e se spengo la stampante poi non si riaccende. E' necessario togliere il cavo di alimentazione per 5 minuti per poterla riaccendere, ma l'errore torna nuovamente. Come mai?
In a homework meltdown situation. My Son came to me and said the printer is broken with a code 5100. With all of the end of the year school assignments, I went into panic mode and googled the code. Carl came to the rescue. I followed his easy steps and had it reset immediately. No computer degree or tools needed. Thanks Carl…you must kids. Sincerely, a Thankful Mom.
i doesn't work in my canon pixma mp230. i can't even use my scanner . the orange light is always blinking. any help?
Unfortunately if the above fix has not worked in this scenario you will need to contact your local canon repair centre to have your printer repaired.
I have a canon prnter mg5340 whch ink absorber error became full how can i rest it?please help….
Thanks for this. Extremely irritating that my printer gives this error often, but after 3/4/20 attempts, it saves me the trip to the repair shop and money.
Just stopped printing for no reason, paper would feed, and make all the right noises but nothing was actually printed.
Came across this post, which wasn't easy to find, and like many others on here had to persevere many times but it was a success. MANY THANKS!!
If this solution has not worked for you then you will need to get it repaired or replaced.
Good luck Eva with getting any response/assistance. I have heard nothing and think the same as you. Perhaps buy a new printer but like you, I have brand new ink cartridges as well. Oh well, it seems we may as well cut our losses and buy a new printer!
A Canon MG2100 series has no "Resume" button. The button with triangle inside a circle is marked "Stop/Reset". When I press this down as instructed and then push "Power", I get no green led light. Suggestions? Thanks for any help.
If you can I would refer to the manual but I know in other models the resume button can be the green diamond.
Fantastic! I've been getting the 'alert' that the Printer Ink Absorber has been almost full for about a year now. It finally told me it WAS full and that I'd have to contact a Canon provider. I thought my old i455 was ready for the scrap heap. I followed your instructions and VOILA! It worked! Many thanks, Carl!
Amazing! It's f***ing working! Awesome!!!
wow. this is type of solution for a problem that you appreciate people like you and the internet. thank you!
YES! IT WORKED TO MY SATISFACTION FOR CANON MG5370. TTHANK A LOT!
I have a printer again!!!!
cheers, its still being tempramental, and i have to do this procedure more than i would like. but so helpful. thanks a million. it will do me till i can purchase another printer. thanks matey.
whao it worked thanx for the infor.
I've tried this repeatedly on MG5220 to no avail. Before getting the 6c10 error message I got a 6A81. Somehow that cleared and now I'm getting this 6c10. Please help.
thanks guys it works , i tried it on my canon iP1800 its good, … but for how long does it last?
hi! it doesn't work with mg5350 ? what can i do more?
This instruction is obviously not applicable to the mx410 because a) the descriptions are not accurate ("resume is a "stop" button and there is no green light only amber and blue) and b) because they don't work for the mx410. For some reason, I can find information on resetting the ink absorber for almost every canon printer other than the mx410. Why is this one so obscure?
I have two MP-287, I faced twice this problem. and both the time i called Canan service engineer. He insert one Pen drive in my pC and reset the Counter. and both the time he charge me for Rs. 500/- for this reseting.
It worked but immediately went back to error 6A80.
I have a canon MP495 and I have tried all the instructions over and over again. All the ink absorber sponges have been changed. Nothing is resetting the error message. besides getting another printer, is there anything else to try?
I have a Canon MP560 and the C610 error. Found your advice and had to repeat it 3 times, and now I CAN PRINT AGAIN.
It worked but it has occurred again, what should I do?
I have a Canon MG6100 series. I have been seeing the message 5B00. Printer error. Contact service center. I have tried your suggestion with no results. I have to turn it on to find the resume button. When I hold it it flashes amber not green to amber. Totally frustrated. If I could get the cartridges out I would be satisfied.
Works on my Canon Pixma MP980 with error-code 6C10 .
Finally after I tried other solutions, like cleaning the purge unit and emptying the ink tank, this is the solution that works.
Wow thanks a lot Carl – this saved my a** on some urgent printing.
Tried twice on my mg5620, power won't come on, any suggestions ?
It rests OK on the canon ip7240 but the error comes back when you power on next???
Do you have the E-08 ink reset code for a Cannon MG2120?
Can't get any to work. Thanks.
thank you, it worked on my MP510.
Procedure worked out just fine. Thanks!
I have cleaned the printerhead, without touching the circuit board on the printerhead, dried it.
Should i remove the ink absorber?
can this work on MX 924?
It works….. Thank you so so much. Mine is canon mg5370. Regards.
Worked for me on a MX700. Had to follow the instructions carefully. Other instructions I found were similar but not exactly the same. I was just about to buy a new printer.Thanks!
Thanks for all… it's working for me 🙂 happy happy happy! Super! BIG THANKS!
Thank you so much for this advice! Two weeks without a printer – what a drag! – and it was so easy to get it to work again!
Thank you for the tip it worked i was going to go buy a new one thank you saving me the money with a simple fix.
Hi. help me How to insert service mode ip2870. because i reset counter.
My Ip7240 is back in action again.
It worked nice and easily with my MP510 compared the Servicetool- program that I tried earlier.
i tried this but now my printer power wont come on at all????
It did not work on MG2920. I contacted CANON and was told that the printer can not be repaired and should go to recycle centre. What a waste of natural resources! Canon just want to get more business. Is it a Gimmick or Scam?
By the way, I opened it up and found that, the ink absorber was not really wet (Never mind FULL). There was no optical/ mechanical/ electrical sensor to monitor the degree of wetness of the ink absorbing sponge.
My guess is that the printer was pre-programmed to quit after X number of prints was reached just using an excuse, say the "INK ABSORBER is FULL". This is just the same way to say that a ink cartridge is empty and in fact the ink cartridge is still half-full !!!!
Printer is in use or an error has occurred.

Even as Lillie and business partner Tien Huynh purchased ground just east of Granite City near 21st and Webb Road and began plans for a 34,000-square-foot building, and even as they formed a group of 24 investors – mostly physicians – they didn't answer reporters' questions to explain what Opti-Life is.
That's because they didn't fully know.
Lillie is the founder of Physicians Development Group, which develops and operates skilled nursing facilities, assisted living centers and memory-care units, among other things.
Now, after five years of planning, Lillie can sum up Opti-Life in one sentence.
"It's a mental, physical ... holistic experience," he says.
"I see what happens when you don't have these things in your life," Lillie says. "Nobody wants to be in a nursing home, but yet our nursing homes are full. Why is that?"
Opti-Life will be somewhere "to really become healthy – not just from lifting weights or working out," Lillie says. "You can't outwork a bad diet."
The center, which opens Jan. 1, will have a 2,000-square-foot education room, including a display kitchen, for nutritional and other health information.
"For me, it was as much about education as it was about actually working out," Lillie says.
However, fitness will be a big part of Opti-Life.
Lillie will have TechnoGym equipment from Italy, which he says is easier on joints and allows for better recovery times.
"It's basically the best fitness equipment … in the industry."
All of it integrates and syncs with an app.
"It'll track what you do inside and outside the facility," Lillie says.
There will be a weight floor with free weights and pin machines. There will be rooms for yoga, pilates, spin classes and zumba along with a barre studio and a cardio loft with bikes and rowers.
There will be a functional training room with TRX and weight-bearing classes.
There will be a cardio cinema with a dozen treadmills where runners, led by an instructor, can train for races by running treadmill races against others.
"The industry calls it gamification," Lillie says. "For me it was more engaging and more entertaining."
Lillie says there will be diagnostic equipment, including 3D scanners, to measure how people progress.
"It really gives us a snapshot of what's going on in the inside."
There also will be a spa with hydro massage beds and roller beds.
"You can come and just relax," Lillie says.
There will be a sauna that uses infrared heat that "penetrates deeper into your skin" than traditional saunas, he says.
A Himalayan salt sauna will have a wall that's about five inches think with Himalayan salt blocks to help people feel invigorated.
"It gives off negatively charged ions similar to what you get off the ocean," Lillie says. "They kind of give you a feeling of well being."
Lillie says he wants Opti-Life to be a social place, too, with a cafe and lounge area and a 2000-square-foot rooftop terrace for things such as sunrise yoga.
There's a quarter-mile outdoor walking and jogging path that goes around a couple of ponds in a parklike setting.
"For me it was a lifestyle thing," Lillie says.
"How do we build a community of people who care about health and fitness?" he says. "How do we help people really feel inspired, feel transformed?"
He says it's about a collective experience.
Lillie says he did extensive market research to see what people might want in the center and what similar facilities elsewhere offered.
This could be the first of several Opti-Life centers.
For now, though, Lillie says, "I'm really just focused on this one and seeing how it performs and seeing how people embrace it."
He anticipates needing 3,200 to 3,500 members to make Opti-Life work.
"We don't need 10,000 members to make this work," Lillie says. "It wasn't about being the biggest. It was about providing the most impact."
There will be four tiers of month-to-month memberships ranging from $60 to $130. A membership trailer is now open in front of the business, which is at 9758 E. 21st St.
So far, Opti-Life has about 50 charter members, who will be able to use the facility starting in December as part of a soft opening.
Jill Hattan, president and CEO of Don Hattan Dealerships, is one of them.
"It sounds like he's doing a completely unique concept to Wichita," says Hattan, who already has a gym membership that she says she'll probably drop once Opti-Life opens.
Hattan says she's intrigued at the Opti-Life mission "of integrating the mind, body, spirit."
She says she likes the idea of more of a lifestyle approach, which Hattan says "may be a better fit for me."
It's about "how can I maximize what I'm doing," she says. "I think it's going to be a great thing for Wichita."
Lillie says he chose the 21st and Webb Road area in part because it's a near a medical corridor.
Opti-Life is "just more preventative than reactive."
"For me it's all about intention and purpose," Lillie says.
Like the ashram inspired him, Lillie says his hope is to "inspire people to live the life they want to live."
"To live a healthier life. … To live a more engaged life. … That's my hope for Opti-Life."
Opti-Life Health and Fitness Center founder Matt Lillie, center, and the team he's starting the business with. Standing in front of the center that's under construction near 21st and Webb Road are, from left to right, partner Tien Huynh, Elissa Knolla, Erika Lillie, Matt Lillie's wife, Amber Oehm, Karriann Graham, Kim Moses and general manager George Sorensen.

i'm using the convert csv to xml from the file / the document wizard to convert a spreadsheet to an xml document. This allows me create an xml file which then has to be edited. This editing involves turning a couple of attributes to elements and putting in closing tags. How do i save the convert to xml map as a convert file - which would involve converting future xml files to the same elements / attributes and completing the same find / replace commands which i currently have to do to the converted xml file ? Is this possible ?
can you expand upon this ? what do you mean by the converter URL ? do you mean the location of the converter file ?
what function in xslt would i use to do this ?
to XSLT which can then do the transformations.
same structure as the original myfile.csv.
also where is the file that the document wizard uses to convert the csv to xml ? is it an xslt file ?
is it possible to write a generic xslt that will access for example an odbc driver and convert dbase fields to xml ? is this covered in the ado to xml section ?
finally, i have been supplied with files which contain characters in utf-8 but wish to convert them to us-ascii, but when i use the conversion process as within stylus studio and specify us-ascii,the xml document it creates specifies utf-8. Is this because the conversion process recognises the characters as not being us-ascii compliant ? the problem then is the csv gives me parsing errors which are resolved when i strip out the offending characters.
Q1: also where is the file that the document wizard uses to convert the csv to xml ? is it an xslt file ?
takes the .csv (or whatever) and the .conv and produces the .xml.
Q2: is it possible to write a generic xslt that will access for example an odbc driver and convert dbase fields to xml ? is this covered in the ado to xml section ?
A2: ODBC is a different beast; it returns data in response to SQL/XML queries. For that, use the File|New|DB to XML Data Source option.
Q3: finally, i have been supplied with files which contain characters in utf-8 but wish to convert them to us-ascii, but when i use the conversion process as within stylus studio and specify us-ascii,the xml document it creates specifies utf-8. Is this because the conversion process recognises the characters as not being us-ascii compliant ? the problem then is the csv gives me parsing errors which are resolved when i strip out the offending characters.
thanks i managed to get the utf-8 etc to work using the convert to xml option.
I have couple more questions though.
is it possible to automate replace commands - in the convert to xml ? for example i want the following elements to be replaced, under which properties would input this ?
how do i sepcify the column headings in the csv file to be attribute rather than field names ?
is it possible to represent random characters within an element when using the replace command ? wildcard doesnt seem to work. for example i wish to replace all email addresses - <email>j.doe@hot.com</email> with email="*"
Q1: is it possible to automate replace commands - in the convert to xml ? for example i want the following elements to be replaced, under which properties would input this ?
that was discussed earlier in this thread.

Convert-to-XML .conv file you'd already prepared automatically.

Home News Top Stories Survey finds consumers still prefer in-store shopping
Survey finds consumers still prefer in-store shopping
Carson College of Business survey finds 43% of Pacific Northwest consumers shop in-store
Courtesy of Visit Vancouver USA
Washington State University's Carson College of Business recently conducted its third annual holiday retail survey and found that nearly half of Pacific Northwest consumers do most or all of their shopping in-store, demonstrating the staying power of brick-and-mortar stores in the region.
"Our research shows that consumers across the Pacific Northwest value the excellent customer service they find in stores, especially in smaller retailers over big-box stores," said Eric Hollenbeck, research communications manager at the WSU Carson College of Business. "PNW consumers are values-driven shoppers and brick-and-mortar stores can benefit when their operations align with customer values. When it comes to benefits of in-store shopping, we saw that Gen Z shoppers like being able to try on items in stores while Baby Boomers prefer being able to see and feel products in person before they buy."
According to the survey, 43% of consumers in the region prefer to do their shopping in-store, while only 17% prefer to shop mostly online. However, most consumers think Cyber Monday is the best day to find great deals.
"Although consumers feel they get a better deal online, the rate they are shopping in stores is remaining steady, supporting the value of brick-and-mortar stores," said Joan Giese, WSU clinical associate professor of marketing. "We've found shoppers often find inspiration for gifts while perusing the aisles and value in-person customer service and the ability to see and feel the products."
The survey examined more than 1,700 PNW consumers' perceptions and attitudes toward the holiday shopping season and aimed to understand how and where consumers are planning to do their shopping this year.
According to the survey, some of the key findings include:
PNW consumers continue to turn toward Cyber Monday to catch the best deals, while Black Friday continues to lose its allure.
76% of PNW consumers plan to shop on Cyber Monday, while slightly less (56%) plan to shop on Black Friday.
63% agree Black Friday sales and promotions are overwhelming, and 58% agree there are better deals after Black Friday.
Sentiment varies across generations, however, as only 49% of Baby Boomers think the best deals can be found during Cyber Monday, while 73% of Gen Z are excited for Cyber Monday deals.
PNW consumers continue to prioritize spending time with family on Thanksgiving over shopping.
Only 26% of consumers are likely to shop on Thanksgiving.
57% of those who plan to shop on Thanksgiving say they will shop online, rather than in-store.
The survey also found that PNW residents are thrifty and budget-conscious, but may splurge more for the holidays.
While post PNW consumers shop discount retailers (81%) and thrift stores (42%), they majority (51%) will likely go beyond their budget for holiday gifts.
90% of consumers think you don't need to spend a lot on holidays, but only 49% have a strict budget.
Despite the desire to be thrifty, 54% of PNW shoppers say you can't put a price on holiday happiness.
So, how can retailers edge out the competition this holiday season?
"Smaller retailers can edge out competition this holiday season by continuing to provide excellent customer service, which most consumers say impacts their shopping decisions," Hollenbeck said. "Retailers should also put focus on creating eye-catching window displays, since nearly half of PNW shoppers say they find inspiration for gift buying by walking around a store or mall."
The survey also found that although Small Business Saturday receives less attention from consumers, small businesses may benefit from shoppers' appreciation for the perks of supporting local businesses and a positive in-store experience.
81% of PNW residents say local and small businesses provide better service than big-box retailers.
However, Small Business Saturday lacks awareness on the West side of the state, as 72% of Eastern Washington is familiar with Small Business Saturday compared to only 61% of Western Washington.
Gen Z are least knowledgeable about Small Business Saturday – only 38% are aware, in comparison to 62% of all PNW consumers who are familiar with it.
Hollenbeck pointed out that Small Business Saturday has only been around for 10 years, so it takes time to generate buzz, but it is happening. He said they believe awareness for Small Business Saturday will continue to grow because consumers across the PNW are more inclined to support local businesses.
"Smaller businesses can attract for attention for Small Business Saturday through social media engagement, local and targeted advertising and word-of-mouth marketing from local customers," Hollenbeck said.

It is that "why" that differentiates us by getting people's attention and motivating them to want to learn and apply new concepts.
We are masters at developing high performing teams in cross-functional, cross-locational, multi-cultural and multi-national environments on a global basis. We have helped organizations to become more productive, to function more smoothly and to change the culture of their organization for the better.
We believe that our clients' people are already capable of developing and delivering solutions to the firm's problems, but lack the time, tools, or skills to do so. We provide those tools and skills in a fun, engaging fashion, better positioning our clients to drive their organizations to ever-higher levels of performance and success.
The result is an unparalleled, and truly effective, learning experience.
When it comes to building high performing top talent, we have the knowledge, techniques and experience to provide critical support to your future leaders. The "critical flaw" that holds many potential senior leaders back is not about their business acumen, product knowledge or other "hard skills".
Research has proven time and again that the ability to build relationships across the organization and vertically, coupled with a high degree of competency in the area of cognitive complexity (dealing with uncertainty and ambiguity, valuing differences, creativity and system complexity) are the most frequently occurring areas of deficiency holding key executives back – preventing them from moving up to the next level.
Using a highly interactive approach, leveraging key leadership development and psychometric instruments as appropriate, our coaching approach will get your HIPO leaders back on the fast track to the top.

Opinion Who's being allowed to leave Australia during COVID? FOI data show it is murky and arbitrary

More than two-thirds of requests to go to the UK were approved, compared to just 46% for trips to India and 59% to China.

With outbreaks of COVID-19 in most states and territories, and low rates of vaccination, concerns have arisen again about who is being permitted to exit (and re-enter) the country.
Western Australia Premier Mark McGowan, for instance, said there should be stricter measures for people wanting to leave Australia "while there's a pandemic running wild around the world because inevitably they want to come back", posing a health risk to the community.
Questions have also been raised about where travellers are being permitted to go, and for what reasons.
Even though we are more than a year into the pandemic, the Commonwealth's general prohibition on citizens and permanent residents leaving Australia remains in effect. Despite the passage of time and the increasingly widespread availability of vaccines, Australia is among a small number of countries that continues to rely on border restrictions as the primary pandemic response.
What statistics from Home Affairs show
We recently obtained detailed data from the Department of Home Affairs through a Freedom of Information request that answer these questions. The statistics show who has been allowed to leave Australia, which countries they are going to, and why.
The data cover the period from August 1 2020 to April 25 2021, and reveal some concerning trends.
In particular, the figures show that while the top countries of intended destination were India (25,443 requests), followed by China (21,547) and the UK (15,703), approval rates to the UK (68%) were 22 percentage points higher than India (46%), and 11 points higher than China (59%).
Read more: The airline industry hasn't collapsed, but that's the only good news for overseas travel
This was at a time when the UK was experiencing a drastic second wave of COVID-19 — but India's second wave had only just begun.
The figures are reminiscent of approval rates for travel exemptions to enter Australia, which precipitated allegations of racial bias earlier this year. Those numbers were even more stark: only 7.17% of requests from India were approved, compared to 23.48% from the UK and 30.73% from South Africa.
Who can leave Australia?
Some people don't require permission to leave Australia (and are not counted in the numbers above).
These include people who usually live overseas (as well as New Zealanders who ordinarily live here), aircraft crew or maintenance staff, freight workers, those who have "essential work at an offshore facility in Australian waters", those travelling on official government business, and those travelling directly to New Zealand (who are not transiting from another country).
But most of us do need permission. Among the reasons would-be travellers are able to leave the country:
it's part of the response to the COVID-19 outbreak (including the provision of aid)
business-related
necessary to receive urgent medical treatment that is not available in Australia
for a compelling reason for three months or longer
for compelling or compassionate reasons
or in the national interest.
Many of these concepts are very murky, and it is up to the decision-maker to determine the appropriate level of evidence required.
The data show that travelling overseas for a compelling reason for at least three months made up the vast majority of exemption approvals (71,249), while comparatively fewer requests were approved on compassionate and compelling grounds (28,391). By contrast, only 4,797 requests were approved for urgent and unavoidable personal business.
Some of these numbers are still fuzzy due to category adjustments. For example, "travelling overseas for at least three months" was included in the "urgent and unavoidable personal business" category prior to September 30, 2020.
Similarly, on January 8, 2021, "travelling overseas for at least three months" became "travelling overseas for a compelling reason for at least three months".
We were unable to calculate the percentage of approvals from this data because no reason was available for a sizeable number of requests (25,966).
Read more: There's a ban on leaving Australia under COVID-19. Who can get an exemption to go overseas? And how?
Objective decision-making?
Although the Australian Border Force has released an operational directive to clarify how departure exemptions are granted, the data we obtained suggest the thresholds for decision-making are not as systematic (or objective) as desired.
In the period we examined, officials assessed 208,791 exemption requests and approved 119,922 applications. A further 17,017 requests were deemed not to require an individual exemption.
This means roughly 65% of requests were either approved or deemed not to require an exemption.
However, anyone granted an exemption to travel to India who had not yet left by early May had it revoked, following "expert health advice" that considered India a high-risk COVID-19 country.
Similar travel bans were not enacted for other countries — including the UK and US — despite the fact that, as of October 16 2020, the Department of Health has considered travellers arriving from any country besides New Zealand to be high risk.
Policy being made behind closed doors
In short, these data reveal the arbitrary nature of exit requests being granted or denied. It rings true with the anecdotal evidence we have heard from lawyers trying to assist people to leave, as well as would-be travellers themselves.
Much depends on who the decision-maker is in Home Affairs or the Australian Border Force, how they choose to exercise their discretion, and — based on these figures — where the person wants to go and for how long.
Without the opportunity for appeal, there is no independent review of how the factors are weighed, and little, if any oversight of the decisions being reached.
Read more: We need to restart immigration quickly to drive economic growth. Here's one way to do it safely
When viewed alongside the barriers preventing the return home of thousands of Australian citizens and permanent residents, the highly variable rates of exit permissions suggest an arbitrariness stemming, in part, from the fact that both individual and policy decisions are being made behind closed doors.
While the Commonwealth, state and territory governments consistently premise their decisions on "the medical advice", there is not always uniform consensus among medical experts.
Indeed, we have seen in the past week how slippery that notion can be — especially when the prime minister decides to make a unilateral decision about access to vaccines. Governments are effectively making political decisions dressed up as scientific ones, without any oversight from parliament or the public.

Why doesn't wal greens sell peach cobbler???
Yes. I see where banasy is very careful not to reply to certain posts you make Philip. And only replies to one out of a dozen. She is probably married to a nigg er in Chicago.
Ya don't say. Stupid biatch her.
My husband would be shocked to know he suddenly changed races.
I'll stay married to the finest man on earth, regardless.
Donna banasy is stupid. Care to debate?
We do not use that kind of language .
BS. We use it all the time. Grow some eyes, dipshat.
Bunch of freaking Ralph. You are worse than bobsnot2u, in so many ways, yet subtle where bobscat is obvious.
You can't hold a candle to bobcat, so why don't you stop with your silly chest-beating comparisons, mmmkay?
It's not like I freaking care.
Them guys in the white jackets should come and pick you up! Real soon! And put you in a rubber room because there is something very wrong with you phillip!
Shut up and debate me, Observer. You are the crazy person believing official versions of news stories. Not me.
The one man minstrel show continues. And it is really beginning to get funny. Here we have a man who claims to be mature, but uses the elementary school tactics of name calling and taunting to get another to respond in the negative. Doesn't say much about the mental stability of a person. But if you feel the need for it, go for it. I can guarantee most of us have grown beyond that level. Have a good one.
Fareed got it wrong about the mass production of integrated circuits. I was not NASA that started the ball rolling on reducing the cost and increasing the complexity of integrated circuits, but rather the mass production of Minuteman missiles, their Launch Facilities, Launch Control Facilities and the associated test and support equipment. The first Minuteman went on alert in October 1962, during the Cuban Missile Crisis, and just over a month after Kennedy's Moon speech. Production of Minuteman started well before President Kennedy's speech.
Hmmm... Not very clear about Sramjets either. These won't have pilots, won't transport humans, and can't land safely. They simply are a weapons delivery system that can move the delivery of an A-bomb from about 24 hours flight time to 2-4 hours from the USA to anywhere in the world.
This discussion of fusion power is "dead on arrival" unless it goes into the stark environmental challenges...how is radiation biosafety going to be built into the reactor, and all the containment materials and wastes produced? How is the heat waste going to be disposed of? Does heat waste make claims of "unlimited" energy supply sound naive?
Oops! Please excuse the typo FSUION is wrong – FUSION is correct!!
Phillip, what is there to debate? You're nuts! No way to debate something that is painfully obvious to anyone that has the misfortune in comming in contact with you! Get some help!
There's only one L in Philip's name, Obserrvverr.
Thought you said you never steal anyone's username, Philip.
And banasy is spelled b a n a s y; further, Chrissy is spelled C h r i s s y.
But don't let your outrage at someone spelling your name in a manner that is common get in the way.
And of course there's only on "v" in Observer, n'est pas?
Sorry rupert, i wasnt aware of that thank you for pointing it out. My eyesight isn't what it used to be. I do hope he is behaving today though.
Oh? So that was philip and not rupert who corrected me? And while CORRECTING me which by the way was an honest mistake on my part, managed to spell MY name wrong intentionally? You philip, are an even bigger dirtbag than i gave you credit for!
Lmao good catch @ Howard!
I have a power to help.
Will using the hydrogen in the ocean use up the hydrogen in the ocean and destroy it? Will the by product of the fusion be helium and will that pollute our atmosphere?

A consortium of Chinese businessmen and other investors is close to a deal to acquire Italian soccer club AC Milan.
The Wall Street Journal is reporting that the group is buying 80 percent of the club, which is valued at US$827 million.
The deal includes 200 million euros (US$220.4 million) in debt.
That would make this the biggest acquisition powered by Chinese money for control of a world-class soccer team.
The agreement, expected to be completed this month, also provides for the group to buy the remaining 20 percent and put in 400 million euros of new investment in the next two to three years.
Italian investor and sports-business consultant Nicolas Gancikoff has a leading role in the deal and is expected to become a top executive in the club once the sale is completed.
The investor group includes Chinese investment firm GSR Capital.
GSR chairman Sonny Wu helped Gancikoff line up Chinese investors for the deal, according to people cited by WSJ.
AC Milan, founded in 1899, has won 18 Italian Serie A league titles and has the most UEFA Champions League trophies with seven, topped only by Real Madrid.
Media tycoon and former Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi acquired the club 30 years ago, saving it from the brink of bankruptcy and soon lifted it back to world-class status.

Sychev was born in Omsk, a city in south-central Russia. He spent his formative years at St. Petersburg's famous Smena football academy before joining FC Spartak Tambov, a second division club. At that time he played as a midfielder.[3]
Club careerEdit
Spartak Moscow and MarseilleEdit
After having trials at clubs in FC Nantes and FC Metz, Sychev was picked up by FC Spartak Moscow in January 2002, where he scored eight goals in his first 12 matches, and it was during that time when he was transformed into a striker. With Spartak he reached the final of the 2002 Commonwealth of Independent States Cup. He scored 6 goals and finished second on the top scorer list, after coming in as a substitute in every match he played.[4] He entered the symbolic top players list of the tournament.[5]
Sychev in action for Lokomotiv (May 2, 2007)
In August 2002 Sychev announced he was quitting Spartak, by giving his employers three months' notice. Having already signed a five-year contract with the Russian club he was banned from football for four months by the Russian Professional Football League (RPFL).
After finishing this suspension, Sychev signed a five-year contract with Olympique de Marseille, rejecting an offer from FC Dynamo Kyiv. He was mainly used as a substitute during his days in France. In Olympique de Marseille Sychev was used as a midfielder, both left and right.[6][7]
LokomotivEdit
In January 2004 Sychev returned to Russia to join FC Lokomotiv Moscow on a four-year contract, where he scored twice on the opening day of the season. He went on to claim the Russian Footballer of the Year award in his first season back in the Russian Premier League. With the team he won the Russian Premier League 2004, the 2005 Russian Super Cup, the 2005 Commonwealth of Independent States Cup and 2007 Russian Cup. In FC Lokomotiv Moscow Sychev played mostly as a striker, except the period when Lokomotiv was coached by Anatoliy Byshovets and Rashid Rakhimov respectively. During those times Dmitry was mainly employed as a midfielder. Sychev started playing again in his natural position with the appointment of Yury Semin. In 2009, Dmitry was voted by Lokomotiv fans as the player of the season. In 2012-13 season under manager Slaven Bilić Sychev lost his place in the line-up (only 4 games in the first half of season, including national Cup).
Dinamo Minsk LoanEdit
In March 2013, Sychev moved to FC Dinamo Minsk on loan until July of the same year.[8]
Volga LoanEdit
In July 2013, after returning from Dinamo Minsk, Sychev moved to fellow Russian Premier League side FC Volga Nizhny Novgorod on a year-long loan deal.[9] Sychev featured in 16 league games for Volga, failing to score in any of them, and returned to Lokomotiv Moscow at the end of the season following Volga's relegation to the Russian National Football League.
Loan to OkzhetpesEdit
On 16 March 2015, Sychev moved to FC Okzhetpes on a season-long loan deal.[10]
PyunikEdit
After over a year away from football, Sychev signed for FC Pyunik on 31 August 2019.[11] On 6 December 2019, Sychev left Pyunik by mutual consent having failed to make a first team appearance for the club.[12] On 10 December 2019, he announced his retirement from playing.[13]
National teamEdit
Sychev was selected to play for the Russian national team at the 2002 FIFA World Cup, where he became the youngest player to appear for the USSR or Russia at 18 years and 222 days. In the event, he scored a goal and set up other three in an otherwise disappointing Russian campaign. This goal made Dmitri Sychev the fourth youngest goalscorer in the FIFA World Cup.
Sychev was called up to Russia's squad for Euro 2008 in Austria and Switzerland. Despite being a striker at his team Lokomotiv Moscow, during Guus Hiddink's term at the Russian national football team he was used as a midfielder.[14] He won his last cap in 2010.[15]
Besides football, Sychev is a fan of ice hockey and his hometown team Avangard Omsk.[16] He also likes tennis and billiard.[17] Outside of sports, he plays the guitar and was seen rapping at the MTV Russia Music Awards ceremony in Moscow with national teammate Diniyar Bilyaletdinov.[18]
Besides his native Russian, Sychev also speaks English, French, and plans to learn more.[17]
In 2007 Sychev received a degree from the Russian State University Of Physical culture.[19]
Sychev was in Danila Kozlovsky's directorial debut Coach which was released in 2018. Sychev was as Dodin, the player who scored the winning goal for his team.

Silicene: It could be the new graphene
Single-layer sheets of silicon might have electronic applications
By Devin Powell
The hottest celebrity in the world of nanomaterials may soon face a new rival. Inspired by the Nobel Prize-winning creation of the carbon material known as graphene, physicists have now created atom-thin sheets of carbon's big brother, silicon.

Silicon shares many properties with carbon, which sits just above silicon on the periodic table. In 2007 Lok Lew Yan Voon and then-graduate student Gian Guzmán-Verri of Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio, proposed that silicon could exist in flat sheets similar to graphene, even though silicon doesn't naturally form the kind of atomic bonds needed to accomplish this.
They coined the new term for this material: silicene.

"Silicon has the advantage of being more integratable in today's electronics," said Antoine Fleurence, a physicist at the Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology in Ishikawa. The semiconductor industry has spent decades building the infrastructure needed to manipulate silicon to create the chips that run modern electronics.
Speaking March 24 at a meeting in Dallas of the American Physical Society, Fleurence described a new recipe for making silicene. He and his Japanese colleagues grew a thin layer of silicon on top of the ceramic material zirconium diboride. X-rays shined on this thin layer of silicon revealed a honeycomb of hexagons similar to the structure of graphene.
This structure looks familiar to Guy Le Lay, a physicist at the University of Provence in Marseille, France. Last year, he created the first-ever silicene ribbons. Le Lay described these 1.6-nanometer wide stripes of honeycombed atoms, grown on top of silver, in the June 28 Applied Physics Letters.
"These ribbons can be more than a hundred nanometers long, perhaps micrometers," Le Lay says.
New data from Le Lay's group, also presented at the physical society meeting, suggests that silicene and graphene share not only a similar structure, but possibly similar electronic properties. Spectroscopic techniques provided evidence that silicene contains a Dirac cone — the entity that intrigues scientists because it allows electrons to move very quickly through graphene, which makes graphene a promising material for flexible electronics.
To prove silicene's worth, though, Le Lay will need to grow it not on silver — which, as an electrical conductor can interfere with the movement of electrons in the single-layer silicon — but on an insulating material. On an insulating platform, physicists will be able to do direct tests of the material's electronic properties and experiments to determine whether the same quantum effects that make graphene so remarkable are at work.
For silicene to compete with graphene in the long run, however, the process of creating it must be comparably simple, says Sankar Das Sarma, a physicist who studies graphene at the University of Maryland in College Park. "Graphene really took off in 2004 because it was so easy to make," he says.
Competing with graphene in this regard won't be easy: The Russian scientists who first made graphene in 2004 — and won the 2010 Nobel Prize in Physics for their efforts — did it using only a piece of Scotch tape and a chunk of graphite similar to pencil lead.
A version of this article appears in the April 23, 2011 issue of Science News.

The brains of girls and boys who have binge eating disorder show key differences, according to a new study.
That's an important finding, researchers say, because both genders struggle with eating disorders, yet treatments are mainly targeted at girls.
"Males have been excluded from research on eating disorders for decades," said Stuart Murray, an associate professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at the University of Southern California's Keck School of Medicine.
He noted that the exclusion stems from the belief that it was uncommon for males to have eating disorders.
"As a result of the exclusion of boys and men, we have developed treatments only from studying females, which we then apply to boys and men and hope they work with the same efficacy," Murray said in a school news release.
Some eating disorders are nearly as prevalent among men and boys as in women and girls. Evidence is mounting that eating disorders are diseases of the brain and not the result of social pressure or a lack of willpower, according to researchers.
This research team used data from a study of adolescent brain development that included more than 11,800 participants. Researchers identified 38 boys and 33 girls who had a diagnosis of binge eating disorder. In all kids, boys represent about 57% of those with binge eating disorder. Adult males represent about 43% of those with the disorder.
The study found significant differences in brain structure between boys and girls.
Researchers used a neuroimaging technique to examine the density of gray matter in the brains of the 9- and 10-year-old study participants. They compared what they found in those kids to a control group of 74 children who matched on age, developmental maturation and body mass index (BMI), an estimate of body fat based on height and weight.
Girls with binge eating disorder had elevated gray matter density in several parts of the brain that are known to be connected to impulse control and binge eating symptoms.
The boys with binge eating disorder did not have elevated gray matter density in these areas.
This suggests a crucial brain maturation process known as synaptic pruning may be uniquely altered or delayed in these girls, the researchers said.
"This study clearly suggests that any neurobiological hypothesis of binge eating disorder needs to be stratified by sex," Murray said.
The study builds on earlier work that suggested that binge eating disorder was wired in the brain from an early age.
While new treatments such as direct current stimulation targeted to the brain are close, only female subjects have been included in the research so far.
"The differences in brain structure between boys and girls with binge eating disorders means that any treatments targeting the brain must be tested on males as well as females," Murray said. "Otherwise, we would be targeting parts of the brain in males that aren't necessarily abnormal."
Researchers plan to test whether the brains of males and females, with their different structures, function differently.
They consider this work an important first step in understanding the neurobiology of binge eating disorder. They also noted that males must be included in future efforts to understand these issues.
Findings were recently published in Psychological Medicine.
The U.S. National Institute on Mental Health has more on eating disorders.

The Burden They Bare
Damon just bared his heart to Elena in her room after saving her from Elijah. His plan was to erase her memory from it…but what he didn't count on was the small hemp bracelet on her left wrist.
Chapter 1: Emotions
Elena stood shocked, her mind not even able to form a thought after Damon's confession. She fingered the necklace he replaced on her neck before leaving and sighed deeply.
He tried to compel her. Usually she would be mad, but she just couldn't after hearing his reasons why. He was protecting his feelings and saving hers. She frowned and slowly lowered herself to the bed. He loved her…she knew that. But she never heard him say it and she'd never seen so much tenderness adorn his face. The way his lips softly caressed her forehead, and the acceptance in his voice as he claimed he didn't deserve her.
Elena covered her face with her hands. What was she going to do? He thought she didn't remember a thing, that she was oblivious to his feelings. She fingered the hemp bracelet that she weaved in with vervain for extra protection. She was glad she had it. She was glad she kept this memory of Damon letting down his walls…opening up his heart to her.
Elena glanced out the window to see the curtain blowing in the wind. How was she going to act around him? Was she going to confront him, tell him she knew everything and that they needed to talk…or pretend that she didn't remember and continue on as if nothing happened? Lying down in her bed, Elena thought back to what happened at the mansion. Her intention was to run to Damon…she wanted to, but Stefan stepped in and stole that moment from them. She had no idea why that bothered her, but when she locked eyes with him over Stefan's shoulder she could see the pain in his blue eyes.
Elena closed her eyes even though she knew sleep would not come tonight.
Damon waltzed into the Boarding House and straight into the parlor for a drink. He blinked away another tear before breathing in deeply and hardening his face. As he strode to the wet bar his brother spoke up from the chair by the fire.
"Where were you?" Stefan's eyes followed his brother as he walked towards the fire.
Damon didn't move his eyes from the flames. "I didn't realize you were my keeper."
"I was just curious, you look a little pensive." Stefan commented.
Damon gave him a twisted smile. "I don't do pensive, that's your gig baby brother." He downed the rest of his scotch and moved to the bar for a refill.
Stefan stood and followed. "Did you go see Elena?" his voice was calm and quiet.
Damon paused, the glass to his lips. "I dropped off her necklace." The liquor burned going down. Much like the way her name burned into his heart.
Stefan scrutinized him. "That's all?"
Damon spun around pinning his brother with his glare. "Yea…what did you think I was gonna do, bare my heart and soul?" he added, his voice dripping with sarcasm. He scoffed and downed his drink again.
Stefan smiled tightly. "Maybe, I don't know Damon…you're unpredictable. She seems to be the only one that gets you to open up, sometimes it's like she knows more about you then I do." He shrugs and stuffs his hands in his sweater pockets.
Damon kept his mouth from saying what he was thinking. She knows more about me that I do. "Well you have nothing to worry about Stef…I haven't burdened your girl with the weight of my feelings." He turned back to the wet bar and fiddled with his glass. "She loves you…and I'm not gonna get in between that." He admitted softly pouring yet another drink. "You win…again." He downed it and chucked the glass in the fire, not even watching as it smashed into a million shards in the flames. He sped up to his room and slammed the door.
Stefan frowned as the fire grew with the alcohol from the glass. "We're gonna run out of glasses." He mumbled to himself.
Bonnie walked up the steps to her house sluggishly. She was worn out and tired and wanted sleep…lots of it. What she wasn't expecting to see was Lucy sitting on her porch steps.
Bonnie stopped and stared her eyes wide.
"I told you, you'd be seeing me didn't I?" she drawled as she stood. "You need help Cuz…you're wearing yourself down." Lucy's brow frowned in worry.
Bonnie's eyebrows shot up. "How did you know?"
The older Bennett smiled. "I can feel it Bonnie…you're power is my power. If you're weakened I feel it. I can help make you stronger…there's a way that allows you to do magic without draining yourself." She offered.
Bonnie was silent for a minute thinking it over before walking past her to open the door. "Come inside, Lucy…I'll make us some tea." Bonnie smiled tightly and let her cousin inside.
As Bonnie moved around the kitchen, Lucy explained the rules of magic and knowing when to stop. "I know the limits…I hit it today and it knocked me unconscious." The younger witch butted in. "I just want to be able do magic and not worry if my brain is gonna start hemorrhaging."
Bonnie placed both cups of tea on the island and sat down across from Lucy on the stool. Lucy cupped her hands around the mug. "That's how it starts off…you have the power it's just your body that can't handle it. But that will change. It just takes some getting used to."
Bonnie shook her head and leaned in. "I don't have the time to get used to it Lucy. Everyday there's a new threat, and I need my magic to help in anyway I can. My friend almost died today." She whispered anxiously.
Lucy placed her hand over Bonnie's. "We can do this…you have the Grimoire right?"
Katherine sat in the far corner of the tomb, with her knees hugged to her chest and dirt all over her body. She was starving. She was shaking and weakened but still clutched the moonstone in her cut up hands. Clawing at the walls didn't help and neither did anything else she did. She was stuck in here…left to decay and die alone. She closed her eyes as she thought of the cold look in Damon's eyes as he told her to rot in hell.
He didn't believe her…and now because of that Elena was probably dead. But she knew she was next…Katherine didn't know what was worse. Being hunted to her death, or starving to it. She blinked away a tear and buried her head in her knees.

Minnesota Gopher Football: What to watch for against the Western Michigan Broncos
By Jeffrick Sep 14, 2012, 11:56am CDT
Share All sharing options for: Minnesota Gopher Football: What to watch for against the Western Michigan Broncos
Western Michigan promises to give the Gophers their toughest test of the young season. Minnesota is 2-0 against a 1-AA school, and a UNLV squad that lost to a 1-AA school. How's this for coming back around...UNLV lost to Northern Arizona 17-14 last week, who lost to 63-6 Arizona State in week 1, who beat Illinois 45-14 in week 2, who beat...oooooooh Western Michigan in week 1 24-7. Ok so all of that probably means nothing. About the only thing we can take away from that is the two teams Minnesota beat aren't very good, and Western Michigan would be a quality win. Here's some things to watch as the Gophers line up against the Broncos on Saturday...
PASS RUSH-- What we know about WMU so far is that if you can pressure QB Alex Carder, like Illinois did in week 1, Alex Carder and the Bronco offense struggles. If you don't get pressure then things turn out like last week when WMU put a whoopin' on Eastern Illniois. As you've no doubt been reading ad nauseum all week, the Gopher d-line has been wreaking havoc through the first two games, and if they hope to win this one, then they have to keep it up.
HOW WELL WILL MARQUEIS THROW? He was not consistently good enough in week 1. In week 2 he attempted just 8 passes but completed 6, including 2 TD's. I'm going to go out on a limb and predict WMU does what both opposing defenses have tried so far, and that's to load up the box to stop the run and force Q to beat them with his arm. Vegas almost accomplished it, New Hampshire didn't come close. While we've talked a lot all week about how WMU's offense is going to be Minnesota's toughest test yet, what we've failed to mention is their defense will be the U's toughest test to date too. The Broncos held Illinois to just 17 offensive points and 248 yards of total offense (the last TD was a pick-six that ended the game), and after a rough first quarter against Eastern Illinois allowing 14 points, they didn't allow them to score again until late in the second half when the game was pretty much over. Gray will have to prove he can throw accurately enough to keep them honest if the Gophers want to win. Unless...
SOMEONE OTHER THAN GRAY RUNS THE BALL WELL-- I'm looking at you, Donnell Kirkwood. "Kirkland" has been by far Minnesota's best back thus far, piling up 71 yards and a touchdown on 17 carries in the win over New Hampshire but he's failed to find the end zone yet. James Gillum has been a disappointment, with a nice TD run in the opener against Vegas but just 5 carries for one measley yard against UNH. He needs to be better. I have a feeling that we're going to see even more of Marcus Jones and KJ Maye, as both are explosive as all get-up (which,if you're wondering, is pretty explosive), and both are adept at running the ball the traditional way via handoffs, or the new way teams "run" the ball with bubble screens and other quick hit "around the line of scrimmage" passing. Whatever it takes, both for this game and for success this season, the Gophers need more than just MarQueis to be a running threat.
PUNTERS PUNTING LIKE PUNTERS-- After being its usual abysmal self in the opener, the punting game was substantially better against UNH. That needs to be the new norm for Minnesota's punting game. Field position is far too important, especially for a team still finding itself on offense, to be giving away with shanks.
COVERAGE MATTERS TOO-- The pass rush needs to be there- heck it HAS to be there for the Gophers to play well. But the guys in coverage can't just be sitting back twiddling their thumbs or playing on their iPhones. The Broncos employ a lot of four and five receiver looks with the idea of creating as many isolation matchups as possible. That's going to put pressure on the Gopher backers and secondary to be smart, disciplined, and tough in coverage all game long.
IS THIS THE GAME FOR ANDRE MCDONALD? The highly touted true freshman has yet to make a real impact, but perhaps this is the game. He was targeted multiple times in the win over UNLV, and missed last week due to an infection. He's supposed to be good to go for WMU, and the youngster with the immense potential should have every opportunity to start making a difference. There's some other guys playing well in front of him, but there's always room in the receiver rotation- and the starting lineup- for someone with this kind of talent. McDonald's play is by no means a key to victory, but if he proves he's ready to be a playmaker, it'll bode very well for the passing game for the rest of this season, and beyond.

This legislation would prohibit US funding from supporting Israeli military detention, interrogation, abuse, or ill-treatment of Palestinian children.
Press Release / Rep. Betty McCollum (D-Minn) / Nov 14, 2017
"[We] strongly endorse Rep. Betty McCollum's Promoting Human Rights by Ending Israeli Military Detention of Palestinian Children Act. In order for the US to play a constructive role in bringing about a comprehensive and sustainable end to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, we must ensure we are not supporting the continued trauma inflicted on Palestinian youth entangled in the Israeli Military Detention system."
— Churches for Middle East Peace
"Jewish tradition teaches that each and every single person has inherent dignity and worth and must be treated accordingly. This legislation recognizes and acts upon the inherent dignity and worth of Palestinian children and sends the message that the United States is committed to a future with freedom, safety, and equality for both Palestinians and Israelis."
— Jewish Voices for Peace
Congresswoman Betty McCollum (DFL-Minn.) today introduced legislation — the Promoting Human Rights by Ending Israeli Military Detention of Palestinian Children Act — to prevent United States tax dollars from supporting the Israeli military's ongoing detention and mistreatment of Palestinian children. The full text of the bill can be found here.
An estimated 10,000 Palestinian children have been detained by Israeli security forces and prosecuted in the Israeli military court system since 2000. Independent monitors such as Human Rights Watch have documented that these children are subject to abuse and, in some cases, torture — specifically citing the use of chokeholds, beatings, and coercive interrogation on children between the ages of 11 and 15. In addition, the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) has found that Palestinian children are frequently held for extended periods without access to either their parents or attorneys.
"This legislation highlights Israel's system of military detention of Palestinian children and ensures that no American assistance to Israel supports human rights violations," Congresswoman McCollum said. "Peace can only be achieved by respecting human rights, especially the rights of children. Congress must not turn a blind eye the unjust and ongoing mistreatment of Palestinian children living under Israeli occupation."

Kobi Halperin looked towards East European traditional folkloric costumes that celebrate craftsmanship.
For resort, Kobi Halperin looked towards traditional folkloric costumes — especially Eastern European ones — celebrating the sort of detail and craftsmanship that have always figured in his signature blouses.
This lineup was filled with fluid separates that were light in feeling, yet heavy on intricacy. Crochet lace was a standout choice on dresses and tops, especially on one long-sleeve, camel-colored shirt that clung to the body. Hand-embroidered antique brass beads on lace provided testimony to the label's workmanship — and depth to the see-through pieces. Indeed, despite the Victorian suggestions in the beading and crocheting, many of the looks were daringly sheer, like a black, floral-patterned tunic paired with black and white, lace-accented pajama pants.
