Tampa July 31st, 2013 Mayhem Festival
One might be able to say that this opportunity fell on my lap, but I consider it to be fate. It is by no coincidence that when Metal Master Kingdom received the Mayhem Festival press package, we were looking to cover the show and maybe interview a few heavy hitters. As the show approached and we started to get our interview selection times back, I received an email granting Metal Master Kingdom online webzine the opportunity to interview an upcoming band named The Butcher Babies. At first I wasn't sure what to make of this; I had heard a little of a buzz about them, but not enough to run to the store and get their newest album "Goliath". Well lucky for me, their PR rep sent me a digital download. One of the perks to contributing to a cause in which there is no pay and we devote our time wholeheartedly simply for "THE MUSIC". Still skeptical of the music, I put on their first track "I Smell A Massacre". Needless to say it took me two seconds to write back and confirm that interview. It was new, fresh and something that I hadn't heard before.
Fast forward one week later here I am in Tampa, on what I consider to be one of the hottest days of the year, eagerly awaiting The Butcher Babies to take the stage. From my interactions with concert goers earlier, I was skeptical about how they would live up to what they recorded on "Goliath" with producer Josh Wilbur [Gojira, Lamb Of God, Hatebreed] in LA. we were about to find out what this band could do at 2PM, and temperature of 98 degrees F (felt like 200), with 1,500 ravenous metal fans. Game on bitches!
Out comes the band Butcher Babies, so crank up the beat and here we go!!! Not even halfway through the first song and the only thing I could say to the critics was: What the FUCK are you talking about? This band kicks ASS! From a musician's standpoint I could see the mark of a quality band. Overall the band is very tight live; song structuring is there with some very nice aggressive riffs. Nothing fancy, just heavy, rhythmic but what really sets this band apart are the dual vocals. Heidi and Carla have some incredible chemistry on stage as well as in song writing. As I mentioned in the interview," I got dizzy". And you want to talk about energy, it was very clear to me that these guys came on tour to learn as well as impress. Watching older videos and seeing them live really puts into perspective how they have progressed.
Now the band is named "The Butcher Babies", and they are a dual female fronted band, but that is not to take away from the three incredibly talented musicians that are backing them up. Henry and Jason combine on very intense rhythmic structures, clearly influenced by Slipknot, but like that old proverb goes, "If you can draw from your influences, then what good are you?" And backing up the insanity with some punishing beats is Chrissy. I admit it was really hard for me to take pictures and be an effective field reporter when I was watching these guys just KICK total ass. I have seen over 500 bands in my lifetime, but The Butcher Babies are definitely a show you need to catch.

Cozy Powell Memorial Plaque
December 29, 2015 by Joe 5 Comments
A memorial plaque dedicated to Cozy Powell will be unveiled in his home town of Cirencester on January 7, reports local newspaper. The town council decided to create the plaque to commemorate the town's most famous musician. The plaque will be installed at the Corn Hall, which now serves as a community center. The event will be attended by Cozy's friends and collaborators, including our own Don Airey, plus Tony Iommi, Brian May, Suzy Quatro, Tony Martin, Neil Murray, and Bernie Marsden. [Side note: just add a drummer and they can have a decent jam going…] The reception will include memorabilia display and performances by local musicians. Plans are being made to film the event for Dance With The Devil documentary on Cozy's life, currently in production.
What: Unveiling of memorial plaque for Cozy Powell
When: January 7, 2016, at 2:30 pm
Where: Corn Hall & Assembly Room, 26 Market Pl, Cirencester, UK
Thanks to "The Highway Star".
Filed Under: Cozy Powell
WillyT says
What Really Jumps out at me about this is the Fact that Tony Iommi and Tony Martin will be there….
Perhaps they can bury the hatchet and something can come of this for those two…
i dont know if the Two of them have even Really talked in the last bunch of years…
Also Glad they are Honoring Cozy of course….
Happy new Year Joe… and thanks for all you have done over the Years…
Matt Dennett says
Tony Martin states no one from the Sabbath has spoken to him at all since he was ousted to make room for the Ozzy reunion back in '97. I dont think there's a hatchet to bury as such, Martin has always wished the band well, but he does seem to have been wiped from the history, a bit like Bill has, which is very petty and ungrateful I think. I am still enjoying the TM albums with Sabbath very much,and I too would love to see him team up with TI again even if its just for a studio album. It would put things right. Lets hope it happens after this mammoth tour with Ozzy and Geezer. TI has stated himself he is still up for recording and still has tonnes of riffs stockpiled waiting….bring it on!
I have the dvd of Rainbow live in '77, with RJD, Bob Daisley and David Stone. Cozy's drumming on this show is excellent. He is machine like, especially on the double bass lick parts. Glad I saw him live twice on the HC tour and Tyr tour in the UK. I remember his drum solo alongside the classical backing track being thunderous!
Jeremy James says
A friend of mine said she went to school with Cozy and he got her tickets to a White snake gig.she says he was from New Zealand is this true? Or was he just born here.I've been to the end tour recently in Auckland.
Robert Cam says
Cozy will always be the best drummer Sabbath has ever had…!!!
May he rest in peace and Heaven…!!!!

Review – Guardians of Porthaven by Shane Arbuthnot
By Beth TablerAugust 12, 2021No Comments
a love letter to superheroes.
By Ryan Howse
guardians of porthaven
by shane arbuthnott
On his fiteenth birthday, Malcolm Gravenhurst is preparing to take on the mantle of Guardian, like many Gravenhursts before him. The Guardians are tasked with defending the city of Porthaven, and his family is the only one to possess the superpowers necessary to battle the frequent alien invasions of robotic klek. But power has brought the Gravenhursts more than just responsibility–it has also brought them fame and wealth. When Malcolm meets some teens living and working in secret, he learns that underneath their heroic facade, the Gravenhurst family is hiding some very dark secrets. With the threat of annihilation on the horizon, soon Malcolm must choose between family loyalty and doing the right thing.
Disclaimer: I am friends with Shane Arbuthnott. He plays The Best Alien in my weekly RPG campaign.
Guardians of Porthaven by Shane Arbuthnott is a middle-grade/Young Adult superhero story. It follows Malcolm Gravenhurst, the youngest member of a family who all have superpowers. They call themselves Guardians and disdain the term superhero, viewing that as 'childish entertainment.'
By Malcolm's understanding, his family are the only ones who gained these powers. An alien gateway crash-landed in Porthaven decades ago, releasing numerous robotic invaders called the klek. The Gravenhurst family, with their new powers, managed to defeat the klek, and become heroes to the town, complete with fawning media and tower. The klek keep coming, appearing at random through the city every few weeks, but they never seem specifically dangerous unless they're attacked first (even if by accident.) And the town continues to love the Gravenhursts.
Porthaven itself seems like a science fictional city, but none of the inventions that work there can work outside the city. This is a neat bit of worldbuilding that hits the slightly futuristic vibe in many mainstream superhero comics without changing the entire world. These comic books come up a few times, as Malcolm clearly loves them and has taken inspiration from them, but it's never overwhelming or a replacement for the rest of his personality.
They were his own collection–Squirrel Girl, Ms. Marvel, the classic Claremont and Davis run of Excalibur that he'd worked hard to collect. Ones about heroes who didn't just do it as a job and tried to do every ounce of good they could in the world.
Malcolm is socially awkward, as he's never been around many people besides his family and their employees before. He was tutored rather than going to school, and has no friends to speak of. He talks too much and misses social cues. He has to take classes on managing public relations. He is consistently called out as a child of privilege, and that's true, but it's also clear that that same upbringing had a lot of its own difficulties, mostly due to his isolation and how his family would stamp down on him for his suggestions.
"Well, um, I'm responsible for keeping the city safe, and that's where I'd like to focus. I've only ever fought the klek in simulations before now, right? So I'll have to get used to the real thing, I guess. And I have this idea about—"
Felix's hand came down hard on Malcolm's shoulder.
When Malcolm first experiences life outside the tower, he meets another youth who also has superpowers. That simple fact alone rattles him. He's been told all his life that only members of the Gravenhurst family get these powers. Then he meets a couple others, and they're doing what he wanted to do—using their powers not just against the klek, but to keep the city safe from regular crime as well.
Malcolm's power is defensive. He can form a powerful set of armor around himself, almost like a force field, to keep himself safe. This lets him take damage and defend others, which is extremely fitting given his role.
Now that he knows what he's looking for, Malcolm starts seeing plenty of small cracks in his family's stories. The conflict is organic, clever, and driven by the personalities of the main characters. The pacing is like clockwork, and just when you think a major plot is wrapping up, another twist comes in. The action and mystery complement each other perfectly. A lot of books provide a more thorough status quo before everything gets taken apart, but Guardians of Porthaven hits the ground running.
The ending is excellent as well. If it had had a more traditional ending, it would have been reinforcing Malcolm's privilege. Instead, it finds its own path and is far stronger for it.
Overall, Guardians of Porthaven is a great, fast-paced book, an examination of privilege, and a love letter to superheroes.

The Thomaston golfer tops Jeff Cole, 6-and-4, at Sable Oaks.
SOUTH PORTLAND — Playing five matches in three days is certainly a grind – but even more so for Ricky Jones, who commuted every day from his home in Thomaston.
But if Jones, one of Maine's most decorated golfers, was feeling any sluggishness it didn't show. He won his first state Match Play Championship with a convincing 6 and 4 win over Jeff Cole of York Thursday morning at Sable Oaks Golf Club.
This championship added to the list of Jones' other titles in Maine. He's a three-time Maine Amateur champion, a Maine Open champion, a six-time Mid-Amateur champion and a five-time Paul Bunyan winner.
Jones, 42, never trailed in the match, hitting fairways and greens. He also had three birdies. This is the fifth year of the Match Play Championship, run by the Maine State Golf Association, but it was Jones' first trip to the final.
Both Jones and Cole won four matches in two days to reach the final.
Jones took charge early. His only lapse came on the par-4, ninth hole when he pushed his drive right into the trees, then had to use a recovery shot to reach the fairway and bogeyed the hole to Cole's par. It was the only hole Cole won.
While Jones' shots were on target, Cole, 25, was missing greens in regulation and having to scramble.
Jones said he really started to play well in the tournament from the quarterfinals on. He won his semifinal match 6 and 4 over Doran, the club champion at Sable Oaks.
Jones almost chipped in for a birdie 4 on the par-5 second. The ball deflected off the flag stick for a conceded putt. Cole's birdie putt from 15-feet above the hole hit the hole. Cole made par saving putts for halves on holes three and four.
"On the first six holes, I made every 10-foot putt for par," said Cole.
Those putts kept Cole in the match early. Jones took a 2-up lead on the fifth hole as Cole picked up after his fifth shot as Jones was putting for birdie from 10 feet.
On the par-3, 202-yard sixth hole, Jones knocked his shot 10 feet from the cup. Cole took two shots to get out of a greenside bunker. Both golfers had good birdie attempts slide by the hole for conceded pars on the seventh hole.
On the 10th hole, Cole, having slight momentum, had a great chance to slice Jones' lead in half as he drove in the middle of the fairway while Jones' pulled his tee shot left into the rough. But Cole hit a poor second shot, just putting his ball on the lower right portion of the green. He then 3-putted while Jones two-putted from a similar distance for a par and a win.
Jones then won 11 with a par and 12 with a birdie putt of 25-feet. The match ended on 14.
The golf course received over six inches of rain Wednesday night. Players were allowed preferred lies in their own fairway and relief from casual water which was pervasive throughout the course.
The tournament started with a field of 32 players. In reaching the final, Jones beat Scott Weymouth, 4 and 3; John Hayes IV, 1-up 21 holes; Brian Angis, 2 and 1; and Doran.
Cole beat Tom Bean, 4 and 2; Joe Walp, 2-up; Eric Crouse, 3 and 2; and Scott Sirois, 5 and 3.

Liverpool-Manchester City Was Everything We'd Hoped For And More
Sam Klomhaus January 14, 2018
Manchester City suffered their first defeat of the EPL season Sunday, falling 4-3 to Liverpool in a thriller.

Jurgen Klopp and Pep Guardiola are like siblings. Guardiola is the studious, artsy older brother. He likes Legos. He builds entire carefully-constructed cities on the living room floor. They are intricate and delicate. Klopp is the younger brother. He is a toddler. He is wearing a cape and a saucepan on his head for a helmet. He wants some Cheez-Its.To get his Cheez-Its, Klopp runs through the middle of the living room and tramples Guardiola's Lego City. At least, that's what happened on Sunday.
That's not a perfect analogy, of course. Guardiola is far more emotional than his reputation suggests and Klopp is a much better tactician than he gets credit for. It's just Klopp's particular brand of tactics centers around ruining the other team's day (in a fun way, not, like, a Sam Allardyce way). When Guardiola's system is firing, it works like a Swiss watch: precise, on time, every part moving in relation to every other part. In sync. Klopp's system is to take that watch and smash it with a hammer like a bad magician.
When these two styles meet each other, the results are always entertaining. Sometimes there's a 5-0 blowout like at the Etihad earlier this season. But sometimes there's a seven goal thriller like today. It was glorious.
Alex Oxlade Chamberlain opened the scoring for Liverpool. He can't believe Arsene Wenger didn't rate him, either.
Leroy Sane equalized late in the first half.
Then Liverpool briefly morphed into a buzzsaw, scoring three spectacular goals in the span of eight minutes. Each of Liverpool's attacking trident got in on the action.
Manchester City never felt out of it, though. Liverpool's defense is Liverpool's defense, after all. Two late goals put lumps in throats around Anfield.
With Sane and Gundogan on the scoresheet and Emre Can putting in a Man of the Match-worthy performance on the other side, it was a great day for Germany's B-team.
In the end, Liverpool won out, 4-3, but, more importantly, that game was fun as hell and we want to watch it again. We'll just be over here patiently waiting for the next one.
As always, the last word goes to Jurgen Klopp (f-bomb incoming).

On the morning of December 23, 2005, Lynn found her 44 year old husband, Mark, unconscious and barely breathing. He had complained of being tired when he went to bed the night before and thought he was coming down with a cold.
EMS arrived, intubated him and transported him to the closest hospital. They placed him on a ventilator in ICU and told Lynn that he appeared septic and had fluid in the lungs. The first 2 days he was able to open his eyes and nod. By the third day, he was totally unconscious. No one mentioned anything other than pneumonia.
The doctor never said anything to Lynn other than that Mark might not make it through the night. The doctor never told Lynn anything about Mark having ARDS.
Lynn did some research and found that there was some evidence that proning might help patients in their beginning stages of ARDS. Lynn asked the doctor to get a bed to turn him up side down and explained what she learned about the roto-prone bed she had seen. Though Mark's doctor was not convinced, he relented and ordered the bed.
To use the bed, there had to be a one to one nurse ratio at all times. The company representatives stayed all shifts to make certain everyone was trained. The bed automatically turned Mark to 6 different positions. He instantly went from 100% to 50% on the vent when up side down! Fluid drained from his mouth and nose which they explained was from the lungs. When ever he was turned right side up, the vent pressure had to be increased so they kept him up side down for most of the shift. There were risks involved, including eye orbital pressure and changes in eye sight but since Lynn had been given no hope, this was an option that gave them hope.
Mark also had a trach g-tube to feed directly to the stomach to help from aspiration. Mark was in a coma while in the prone bed for seven 7 days. Once he started improving, they put him in a regular bed and then had to use Nimbex to keep him paralyzed so that he would not fight the vent.
Lynn had to remind medical staff frequently that he could hear but not move and to keep all comments positive. His only memories during this time were of a "beach," which Lynn had spoke of going to often while Mark was in the coma, and a "round house" which was probably the roto-prone bed.
Mark spent 32 days in intensive care, 4 in a step down unit and 5 on the floor. Mark came home and had in home therapy for 3 weeks and then out patient physical therapy for 3 more weeks. Mark started going back to work for a few hours a day within 4 weeks home. Although he is still very tired and has muscle weakness, Mark has made tremendous progress.
Lynn and Mark live in Port Ritchie, Florida.


Are You Happy Right Now???
Yesterday I was having a chat with a client/friend of mine about how regularly people complicate their lives more than they need to. And it got me to thinking about how often in my line of work I hear people explain: I "I could be happy if…" "If I lost 10 kilos," or "if I got that promotion," or "if I had more money"?
For many people, happiness is some elusive thing that's always out of reach. You're never happy right here and now—your happiness depends on something that's got to happen in the future, something outside of yourself. You can't be happy with the way things are because your life isn't perfect. And if you're happy with your current life, then you're "settling" for the life you have.
One of the main tenets of Buddhism states that simply wanting people, things or situations creates unhappiness. For example, if you didn't want that new car then you'd be happy with the one you already own. It's not your old car that is causing your unhappiness, but the desire for the car that you don't have.
Too often we put our lives on hold. Instead of appreciating the way things are right now, we believe that we'll only be happy if external conditions were met. Instead of relying on these outside factors, you must learn to turn inward and realise that your happiness depends on only one thing—your very own thinking.
The way you think about a situation frames your entire perception. For example, you may need to lose some weight. Instead of moaning as you get on the scale to see that you only lost .5 of a kilo this week, think about all the positive things you did for your body, from walking every day to eating more vegetables. Even a small weight loss improves your cardiovascular health, so appreciate how far you've progressed and recommit your efforts to keep doing what's best for your long-term goals.
The same thing goes with work. Instead of fixating on everything that you don't like about your job, change the way you think about it. If you have a hard time dealing with a difficult co-worker, reframe your thinking and realise that you are learning valuable coping skills every time you have to interact with that person. This doesn't mean that you have to go through life putting up with less than ideal situations, however. By all means keep looking for something better—just don't put your life and happiness on hold until you change jobs.
Instead of concentrating on your flaws or the things you lack, focus on your strengths and blessings. You may be overweight, but you're driven to improve your body. You may be single, but you have countless opportunities to meet the right person. You may have money problems, but you are creative and can think of multiple ways to bring in new income or cut down on debt.
Having a sense of gratitude about the people and things in your life is another way of feeling happy with what you have. Take a few minutes before bed to list the good things that happened today, from enjoying your favourite cup of coffee to meeting a great new friend. It's not the big events in life that make us happy but the small, almost unnoticed, things that add up to a satisfying life.
The only constant you will have in your life is your relationship with yourself. People will come and go, material possessions can be taken away or lost, but you will always remain. And how you feel about yourself will make a big difference in how you interpret your life.
Remember—you can't change your weight, finances, or job in a day, but you can always change your thinking. While thinner thighs or a fatter bank account would be nice, true happiness can only be found by viewing your life—and yourself—in a positive light. You are more than your body, your house and car. By appreciating your blessings, and focusing on the positive—you can be happy right now, at this moment—so stop waiting for future happiness when it can be yours today!

REALdignitytas media releases
Dr Paul Dunne, palliative care specialist and spokesperson for REALdignitytas provides media comment in relation to euthanasia and assisted suicide in Tasmania
TAS Parliament votes NO
Voluntary Assisted Dying Bill voted down for 3rd time in 10 years
A victory for vulnerable Tasmanians, 25 May 2017
Members of the Tasmanian Parliament today voted down a euthanasia bill, recognising that euthanasia and assisted suicide poses a real risk to the vulnerable in our community.
The bill was defeated by an overwhelming majority. Only 8 members voted for the Voluntary Assisted Dying Bill 2016 with 16 members voting against the bill.
Most members of Parliament were opposed to the bill on the grounds that any such legislation poses an utmost threat to vulnerable Tasmanians in particular. Others saw the deficiencies in the proposed model and expressed concern as to whether such a monumental shift in concepts of healthcare could ever be safely legislated.
Premier Will Hodgman said that protection for vulnerable persons cannot be guaranteed by this legislation.
"I am concerned about the nature of assisted dying being available to those with a non-terminal illness and those of a young age. I remain concerned at the risk of those vulnerable. Protection for these people cannot be guaranteed by this legislation. It is easy in theory but a lot less so in practice."
Guy Barnett, Liberal MP was scathing in his criticism of the bill, highlighting how far the scope of the legislation put forward by proponents had widened in only the 3 years since the last attempt at legislating euthanasia.
"It is a seriously flawed, inconsistent and ambiguous bill. It lacks adequate safeguards and is an expansionary version of the previously defeated 2013 bill. The first few words of the bill say it all: 'Be it enacted by His Excellency the Governor of Tasmania'. It is an obvious error and it all goes downhill from there."
Opposition to the bill bridged party lines with Madeleine Ogilvie, Labor MP drawing on her own personal experience of loss to advocate a better pathway to provide greater control to patients at end of life without the need for doctors to kill patients.
"...I have prepared an alternative approach, which is the product of many years of work, which I hope will take our community forward on the issue of death and dying and will make Tasmania the leading light in compassionate end-of-life palliative care and clear decision-making, as such I hope it is a third-way approach."
Jacqueline Petrusma, Minister for Human Services, a former Registered Nurse, expressed her grave concerns for the vulnerable in the community and in particular persons with a disability.
"... a chilling prospect for disabled people. Legalising it reinforces prejudice for people with disabilities and makes them afraid of a law that would offer a lesser standard of protection to seriously ill people than to others."
Joan Rylah, Liberal MP was very forthright in calling the bill for what it was.
"This bill is not about the act of dying, as the title proclaims. That is the outcome that is being sought here. Instead it is about how to bring about death, specifically how to bring about another person's death with clear and intended intervention. That is, to bring forward death of another human being, to kill, to kill with intent. In law, this form of killing is murder."
REAL dignity Tasmania maintains that what Tasmania really needs is more investment in end of life care, not a law to allow doctors to deliberately kill or assist to kill their patients. This is the ethical, compassionate and appropriate response to suffering.
Hansard records of the debate are available here.

Mis-Information Paper
Giddings/McKim Mis-Information Paper - Tasmanian academics reveal fatal flaws
Dr Paul Dunne, Spokesperson for REALdignitytas, 8 October 2013
Today two Tasmanian Academics, Ms Hannah Graham, Associate Lecturer in Sociology and Criminology and Dr Jeremy Prichard, Senior lecturer in criminal law released a comprehensive academic response to the information paper relied on by Premier Giddings and Minister McKim in their attempt to legalise assisted suicide and euthanasia [click here to view pdf].
"What it proves is that Premier Giddings' oft-quoted claim that the International evidence shows such legislation poses no threat to the vulnerable, is simply untrue. There is a large pool of research and literature that clearly shows significant risks to the aged, infants and children, disabled people, people who are economically disadvantaged, and people with mental illnesses." said Dr Paul Dunne of REALdignitytas.
"The respectfully toned academic paper confirms that Premier Giddings has not told the full story. I am hopeful this is not a deliberate attempt by Premier Giddings and Minister McKim to conceal literature and evidence that is contrary to their proposal". Stated Dr Dunne.
"The paper also demonstrates that significant 'bracket creep' has occurred in those small number of jurisdictions where assisted suicide and euthanasia are legal. This means that over time the categories of people eligible to be legally killed has expanded to include a wide range of people who are not terminally ill.
"The Tasmanian Assisted Dying Bill is currently drafted to include people who are not dying or even terminally ill" said Dr Dunne "Based on International experience we can expect to see such laws expand over time to include people who are not physically ill but who suffer mental and emotional suffering."
"The research paper confirms the findings of previous inquiries and what many in the community already know. This is simply bad legislation.
What we need is more investment in end of life care, not a law to allow doctors to deliberately kill or assist to kill their patients. This is the ethical, compassionate and appropriate response to suffering.
Previous Tasmanian Inquiries in 1998 and 2009 have not recommended proceeding with such legislation, but have recommended more investment in, and education in end of life care.
Numerous International Parliamentary Inquiries have rejected such proposals as posing a very real danger to the most vulnerable in our community.
Tasmanian politicians have no right to risk the lives of the elderly, sick and vulnerable."
The paper is available in pdf format here.

Euthanasia legislation
Realdignitytas rejects introduction of euthanasia legislation
General Practitioner, 26 September 2013
"There is no system of legal euthanasia or assisted suicide that can protect our most vulnerable community members" said Dr Nick Cooling from REALdignitytas today.
Any legislation that allows doctors to legally and intentionally kill or assist to kill their terminally ill patients on request is a monumental shift in the age-old principle of the "inviolability of life" that underpins both criminal law and medical ethics.
Premier Giddings is simply wrong when she states that "There is no evidence from any international jurisdiction of these laws being abused". There is considerable evidence that in those jurisdictions where such systems are legal, that the aged, disabled and handicapped babies are indeed exposed to risk. A recent High Court decision in Ireland confirms that the evidence is clear that the vulnerable are put at risk.
Proponents for the legalisation have advertised that they want 'the comfort of knowing that legislation is there.' The problem is that international experience shows that legalising euthanasia provides absolutely no comfort to those who are euthanised without their consent.
Studies published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal show that in the Flanders region of Belgium, where euthanasia is legal, 32% of assisted deaths are without the patients explicit consent. 47% of assisted deaths were not reported even though required by law.
No matter what systems or protocols are put in place, there are no legislative safeguards that can fully protect the most vulnerable within our community.
Since publishing their information paper earlier in the year, Premier Giddings and Greens Minister McKim have not opened themselves up to public scrutiny regarding major flaws in the paper. There has been no public analysis of the many criticisms known to have been highlighted by organisations and individuals who responded to the information paper.
The paper relied heavily on selective and deficient research, much of which was funded by known pro-euthanasia advocates, designed to paint a picture of flawless implementation of legalised euthanasia and assisted suicide systems around the world. The main authorities cited by Giddings and McKim are the result of known pro-euthanasia initiatives. Compelling evidence which raises serious concern about the operation of these laws internationally was ignored in the paper.
There has been no Inquiry, Bill or Motion of the Tasmanian Parliament that gives Ms Giddings and Mr McKim, leaders of the Labor/Greens coalition, authority to proceed with euthanasia legislation. Previous Tasmanian Inquiries in 1998 and 2009 have not recommended proceeding with such legislation, and numerous International Parliamentary Inquiries have rejected such proposals as posing a very real danger to the most vulnerable in our community.
Tasmanian politicians have no right to risk the lives of the elderly and vulnerable.
Australia21 statements
Realdignitytas rejects Australia21 statements on euthanasia
Dr Paul Dunne
Spokesperson for REALdignitytas, 29 April 2013
Dr Paul Dunne from REALdignitytas today rejected the conclusion of the Australia21 Report on voluntary euthanasia, that voluntary euthanasia occurs "not infrequently" in Australia.
"That statement is simply incorrect" said Dr Dunne. "Many people promoting euthanasia, deliberately confuse euthanasia with current lawful medical practice, including the withdrawal of treatment or administration of pain relief. There is no reliable evidence that doctors currently intentionally kill their patients in Tasmania, they are simply providing lawful and compassionate end of life care".
"In relation to calls to enact legislation to "protect doctors" who work in end of life care, I contend that doctors have adequate protection under the law as it exists" stated Dr Dunne.
"The proponents of euthanasia are fostering a climate of fear and distress through the constant repetition that death is always painful and people must end their lives to avoid suffering" stated Dr Dunne. "These claims undermine the excellent work that occurs in the palliative care sector and also undermines the doctor patient relationship".
Dr Dunne also rejected the report's statement that appropriate safeguards can be implemented to protect vulnerable people and prevent abuse in so-called "assisted dying" regimes. "This Australia21 report ignores significant studies undertaken in Belgium where euthanasia is legal" said Dr Dunne. "The Belgium studies show that in 32% of cases the patient did not explicitly request to be killed. This group of patients had distinct characteristics: they were over 80, they were in hospital, and they were not dying from cancer. 70% were comatose and 21% suffered from dementia. This is extremely worrying – our most vulnerable members of society simply killed off at the convenience of others".
Dr Dunne stated: "How can the Australia21 report be taken seriously when it fails to address important evidence like this".
Dr Dunne also expressed concern about the mixed messages the report sends to those contemplating suicide, by suggesting that legalising assisted suicide might help people who are suicidal. " "Suicide Contagion" has been closely studied and is a known phenomenon both in relation to suicide and assisted suicide" said Dr Dunne. "Studies have shown that copycat suicides and assisted suicides occur following the reporting of such events. Depressed and vulnerable people are very open to suggestion. Rather than surround terminally ill people with systems to assist and normalise suicide, our community should consistently reaffirm the value of their life and take all steps to make that person comfortable and relieve their suffering. Killing people is not a compassionate response to their distress."
Dr Dunne also dismissed the deliberate attempt of the Australia21 report to situate opposition to euthanasia as "religious" opposition. "This is simply nonsense" he stated "Do you ever hear people calling for the crime of murder to be removed from the criminal code because the idea that killing someone is a "religious" concept? The principle of the inviolability of life, is a principle that has underpinned our system of criminal law and medical ethics since time immemorial."

Discussion Paper released
Giddings/McKim discussion paper released
Spokesperson for REALdignitytas, March 2013
The Premier and the leader of the Greens have carefully constructed their proposal to avert criticism of assisted suicide/voluntary euthanasia per se – it only invites comment on the particular model set out in the paper.
The use of the words "Voluntary Assisted Dying" is a cover for Giddings' and McKim's real agenda –allowing doctors to legally and intentionally kill their terminally ill patients on request. This is a monumental shift in the age-old principle of the "inviolability of life" that underpins both criminal law and medical ethics.
There has been no Inquiry, Bill or Motion of the Tasmanian Parliament that gives Ms Giddings and Mr McKim, leaders of the Labor/Greens coalition, authority to proceed with discussion on a "model" for assisted suicide/euthanasia. Previous Tasmanian Inquiries in 1998 and 2009 have not recommended proceeding with such legislation, and numerous International Parliamentary Inquiries have rejected such proposals as posing a very real danger to the most vulnerable in our community.
The Proposal does not establish that the Tasmanian community wants or needs assisted suicide/euthanasia.
The proposal makes no mention of the $63 million in Commonwealth funding set to be injected into palliative care initiatives.
The paper employs selective and deficient research, much of which is funded by known pro-euthanasia advocates, designed to paint a picture of flawless implementation of legalised euthanasia and assisted suicide systems around the world. The main authorities cited by Giddings and McKim are the result of known pro-euthanasia initiatives. Key evidence has been ignored in this paper.
There is considerable evidence that in those jurisdictions where such systems are legal, that the aged, disabled and handicapped babies are indeed exposed to risk. A recent High Court decision in Ireland confirms that the evidence is clear that the vulnerable are put at risk.
The proposal does not set out a transparent evaluation process. The authors have avoided a formal Parliamentary Inquiry. It is unknown who will evaluate the submissions. Given the majority of contributors thanked in the proposal are known pro-euthansia advocates, REALdignitytas has concerns about their capacity to adequately take into consideration serious objections to the proposal.
Last November, voters in the US state of Massachusetts held a referendum on the legalisation of assisted suicide. This is a politically progressive state which has the best hospitals and best universities in the world. But the measure was opposed by the Massachusetts Medical Society, America's oldest state medical society, and rejected by the voters.
Tasmanian politicians have no right to risk the lives of the elderly and vulnerable in their state by approving this poorly researched proposal.

"Our OPACs cannot be the golden kiosks we all want, but by inviting participation in the stewardship of a community resource, we can begin to build unique meta-collections that slide value, pertinence, and humanity into the search process. It may be that in that moment when a patron is about to turn away from the library, something catches their eye–a tag, a comment, some marginalia, perhaps, that puts the patron in front of the material they truly need.
I can't think of much more to add to this discussion, because I think John says it already so well. I agree that it's time to begin rethinking the services that we offer in our libraries and realize that the notion of service is no longer a one way extension of what we do. Our services need to also empower users with the ability to add their own contributions and value to our collections/services if we are to truly continue our role as the "community resource".
After all, just take a look at Webster's definition of "community" and you'll see that it's strongly defined by the words "sharing, participation and fellowship." And, it seems to me that these same three words form the cornerstone of social software tools as well. Therefore, doesn't it seem natural to extend this idea to our OPACs?


Former Glee star, Mark Salling, has died from what is suspected to be suicide, just weeks before he was due for sentencing for possession of child abuse images.
Mark's lawyer, Michael J. Proctor, confirmed that the 35-year-old was found dead in Los Angeles, however, he did not reveal the exact cause of death.
Mark pleaded guilty to possession of indecent imagery of children late last year. He was expected to get between four and seven years in prison, followed by twenty years of supervised release. He also agreed to pay at least $50,000 to each victim looking for compensation.
"I can confirm that Mark Salling passed away early this morning" Michael Proctor said in a statement.
Mark was reportedly found near a riverbed in Tujunga, next to a little league baseball field. Currently, his death is being classed as a suicide. While some sources such as TMZ confirm that his death was a suicide, the investigation is still ongoing. Those close to him referred to him as a broken man, who probably feared the sentence to be passed down to him for possessing thousands of indecent images of children.
The actor played football player Noah "Puck" Puckerman on Glee from 2009 t0 2015. After his departure from the show, he was arrested after a tip-off that he was in possession of images of children being sexually abused. Investigators then discovered thousands of those images on his laptop and hard drive.
Assistant US Attorney, Joey Blanch, told the courts that between April and December 2015, Mark downloaded 600 videos and 29,000 images of "child erotica", showing some "sadistic and masochistic" behaviours. Some of the victims involved were as young as just two years old.
Clearly Mark Salling was a very sick person, and couldn't face up to his crimes, so therefore took his life by hanging himself before sentencing.

A to Z, Aliens, Species, The Reach
Black Beetle
Green Beetle (formerly)
Blue Beetle (formerly)
"Alienated"
The Reach is the name of an insectoid[1] species of alien conquerors and their empire. Though many species have been incorporated into the Reach, its most trusted members are of the original Reach species.[2]
Also known as the Kroloteans' Competitor, the Reach allied themselves with the Light, who referred to them as their Partner. However, that term was also often used synecdochically, as it referred to their field agent specifically as well.
1.1 Scarabs
2.1 Early history
Following a history of conquest, the Reach was forced to change tactics after being forced to sign a peace treaty with the Guardians of the Universe. The treaty forbade them from invading any planet unless they were invited.[3] The Reach did not feel bound to follow the treaty to the letter, however, and were willing to tamper with worlds if they could make sure no proof could be presented to the Guardians. Delegations sent to take worlds operate under the Reach Planetary Acquisition Code. Article 16 of the Code allows the delegation leader to be relieved of command for incompetence.[4]
Reach delegation members each fall under one of a number of roles. Members are addressed by their role. Roles include:
A scientist and an ambassador.
Beetles, which are specialized agents of the Reach, have various color-schemes that denotes their rank.
Ambassador: Ambassadors serve as public faces for their delegation, interacting with the target world's government and media to present the Reach as peaceful visitors and useful allies.[5] The ambassador of the Earth delegation was that delegation's leader.[6]
Scientist: Scientists provide advice and support to the delegation's leadership in technical and scientific matters, carry out research where required (such as the Earth delegation's scientist's work on the Meta-Gene),[5] and perform any technical tasks (such as putting additives into food supplies). A delegation may have several scientists and technicians under the leadership of a head scientist,[7] though even the head scientist may have little authority over the delegation's mission.[8]
Scout: Scouts[9] are natives of primitive worlds that have been taken over by a scarab, and act as advance agents for the Reach. Scouts are similar in appearance and ability to warriors, and are sometimes treated as such.[7][8]
Security guard: Security guards, dressed in red armor and armed with relatively low-powered energy weapons, patrol the Reach's ships[5] and may be taken on excursions where additional firepower may be desirable.[6][4] Security guards are looked down upon by the more powerful warriors.[8]
Warrior: Warriors are delegation members enhanced with a scarab.[5] A warrior has overall responsibility for the delegation's security.[4]
See also: Blue Beetle's scarab
Scarabs are small, beetle-shaped devices created by the Reach with highly advanced artificial intelligence.[10] To ease the way for their delegations, scarabs were sent out to primitive planets millennia ago, to take native hosts and act as advance agents.[7] Scarabs are also given to Reach warriors to serve as enforcers for their delegations.[11] A scarab takes a host by clamping onto its spine.[5] The scarabs grant them armor, weapons, sensors and processing power that makes them highly dangerous opponents.[7] Scarabs's A.I. is sufficiently advanced that they appear sentient with a distinct personality, and are capable of communicating with their host.[10]
When "on-mode", a scarab, and by extension its host, is under the Reach's complete control.
While "on-mode", the scarab is under complete Reach control, and has complete control of its host in turn.[8] Reach agents are able to see and hear from the host's perspective[3] and can remotely control scarab-equipped scouts. The hosts are unable to control their bodies, and are only able to communicate with their scarabs and any Reach agents monitoring them. Warriors cannot be remotely controlled.[9]
Scarabs can be taken off-mode through magical means. This leaves both host and scarab free of Reach control,[8] though scarabs have the ability to control their host while off-mode, at least for a short time.[12] Not all hosts are slaves; at least some warriors are fully loyal to the Reach.[11]
Scarabs are color coded: scouts start out blue and warriors as black, though colors can change under certain circumstances.[13]
Scarabs can be destroyed[11] or removed from the host.[5] For most host species, including humans, this is fatal, though there are exceptions, including Martians and the Reach species.[11]
According to John Stewart, millennia ago the Reach were conquerors, so powerful that it took the entire Green Lantern Corps to halt their rampage. As a result, the Reach signed a peace treaty with the Guardians of the Universe, that forbade them from invading any world on which they were not invited.[3]
The Reach was a fierce rival of the Kroloteans. Some Kroloteans suspected they were behind exposing their presence on Earth, by hiring Lobo to attack the Tseng impostor.[14]
Malina Island
January 6, post-20:32 HAST
The Reach sent out an agent to Malina Island to plant a bomb in the Krolotean base. He personally informed the Light's field commander, Kaldur'ahm, that he had five minutes before detonation. The explosion destroyed much of the island, and many Kroloteans, who had nowhere to go.[14]
Bialya
February 20, 00:12 UTC+2
At their behest, Queen Bee had her subordinates abducting runaway children[15] for their Meta-Gene research.[5]
The Reach's agents captured an ample amount of subjects for their experiments.
March 30, 18:28 HAST
The Reach conducted experiments on the abductees, as well as captured heroes Impulse and Beast Boy. Their prize capture, Blue Beetle, was kept in a separate room, where the Scientist analyzed his scarab. She could not find out why it was off-mode.
The Team managed to liberate the abductees, and decided to inform the world about the Reach.[5]
March 31, 06:41 EDT
The Reach made sure to gain the public trust. The Ambassador introduced himself and the Reach to the United Nations. This openness gained appreciation from even the most staunch critic, G. Gordon Godfrey.[5]
March 31, 22:42 ChST
In secret, the Reach continued with their invasion. They hid scores of vessels in the Mariana Trench.[5]
April 1, 19:20 EDT
In public, the Reach and the Justice League displayed civility towards each other, but privately traded blows.
The Reach Ambassador participated in a joint press conference at the United Nations with Secretary-General Tseng and Captain Atom. The atmosphere was tense, and Captain Atom requested that they discuss certain matters away from the glare of the cameras. At the discussion inside Tseng's quarters, the Ambassador let it slip that the Justice League were wanted criminals, and used children as covert operatives. When Captain Atom accused the Reach of abducting runaways, the Ambassador claimed that he confused them for the Kroloteans, and challenged him to provide unbiased proof. The conversation was interrupted when Captain Atom received an urgent message—the Hall of Justice was encased in a red energy field, and nobody could enter or exit.[16]
Tseng and the Ambassador arrived via transport helicopter, with the Justice League still unable to breach the force field. The Ambassador easily disabled it with a device, and let it slip that the Justice League was fortunate to still have the Watchtower for their base. This visibly irked the Secretary-General, and provided additional ammunition for G. Gordon Godfrey's anti-League rhetoric as well.[16]
The Ambassador was later able to secure Despero as a prisoner; Captain Atom could not think of a good reason to deny their offer.[16]
Even G. Gordon Godfrey, a critical GBS pundit, approved of the Reach's business ventures on Earth.
G. Gordon Godfrey continued his pro-Reach anti-League rhetoric, and reported that the Reach had partnered with LexCorp Farms to increase food production and end world hunger. In the interest of transparency, full public tours were available.[7]
April 8, 16:38 CDT
Inside a laboratory underneath the facility, the Scientist instructed her personnel to go easy on the formulation of the "additive." Unknown to them, Alpha Squad infiltrated the building, procured a sample of the additive, and planted explosives around the laboratory. The explosives detonated before Alpha Squad left the area, and they were intercepted by Black Beetle.[7]
Black Beetle was too powerful, forcing Alpha to retreat. He caught up to them in a cornfield, but was ambushed by a Green Beetle, from Mars. Green Beetle aided the Team, and Black Beetle was knocked unconscious.[7]
April 9, 00:20 MDT
The Reach, in collaboration with LexCorp, released a soft drink to the human populace, but in actuality, it was a formula meant to cultivate Meta-Gene activity within consumers.
After gaining the trust of Miss Martian, Green Beetle and the Team watch a commercial advertising the Reach energy drink air. The drink was a joint collaboration between LexCorp and the Reach. Green Beetle added that the drink contained trace amounts of chemicals that would slowly, but surely over generations weaken the resolve of humans to resist. He added that there was a mitochondrial marker that could pinpoint the Meta-Gene in individuals. Pleased with the results, Nightwing dismissed the meeting.[17]
Blue Beetle walked off with Green Beetle, and started discussing his predicament. Blue feared falling under the thrall of the Reach, but Green Beetle assured him he could control it with training and motivation. But Blue wanted more—Green Beetle had claimed he used his shape-shifting abilities to reach inside his scarab and take control of it—Jaime pleaded with Green Beetle to do perform the procedure on him. Green Beetle protested that the procedure would be dangerous, but Blue Beetle was adamant.[17]
Hours later, Impulse found Green Beetle perched over Blue Beetle, with tendrils reaching inside the latter's scarab. He demanded that Green Beetle desist, but Jaime surprised him by saying he was cured. The scarab was now silent.[17]
May 14, 13:05 MDT
Blue Beetle was revealed to have been turned by Green Beetle, who reprogrammed his scarab under the guise of curing him. Blue regretted losing control, and allowing the four abductees to evade the Reach again. Green Beetle and Black Beetle consoled him, saying that building up his reputation was more important.[18]
May 23, 21:23 EDT
The Reach detected the Warworld's incursion into the solar system. The Ambassador tried to dissuade Mongul from proceeding to Earth, but Mongul would not turn back.[3]
Green Beetle briefed Nightwing and Captain Atom on the Warworld and its controller—Mongul. He provided them with information about Mongul's background and possible motivations.[3]
The Ambassador conducted a joint press conference with Tseng. He claimed that although the Reach only had one weaponless ship, they would stand by the Earthlings.[3]
The Warworld
May 26, 12:00 UTC
The Team began their assault on the Warworld, not realizing that Blue Beetle was under Reach control and provided them with a full video stream of his visual. The Ambassador commented on the irony of the Reach rooting for Earth's heroes to succeed.[3]
Mongul launched all of the Warworld's weapons to obliterate the Earth with saturation fire. Although the weapons were thinned out by the heroes and Earth's military, the Reach estimated that 23% of the weapons would survive. Even this fraction would be enough to destroy a hemisphere and kill the human race. In order to protect their investment, the Ambassador ordered the deployment of their hidden invasion fleet to defend the Earth.[3]
Philippine Sea
May 26, 22:40 ChST
The Warworld crisis forced the Reach to mobilize their hidden fleet, and as a result, depleted their resources and tarnished their goodwill among the Earth's populace.
The invasion fleet emerged from the depths and destroyed the remainder of the Warworld's weapons. The Earth was protected, but two-thirds of the fleet was destroyed, much to the annoyance of the Ambassador. The annoyance turned into glee when the Team brought down Mongul, and Blue Beetle defeated the Team in turn. Their investment had yielded a return—they now have most of Earth's heroes in custody, and the Warworld's crystal key was in their possession.[3]
Blue Beetle concocted a cover story to conceal his duplicity. Nightwing was placated, and allowed him to return home. Dr. Fate opened a portal, which a contrite Blue Beetle stepped through, with Green Beetle accompanying him.[19]
Both Reach agents step out of the portal into the front of Jaime Reyes' house. They nod at each other, and wordlessly went their separate ways.[19]
The Reach hold a news conference praising Blue Beetle as the hero who almost singlehandedly save the Earth from the Warworld.[19]
The Ambassador congratulated a jubilant Black Manta who was still giddy from his son's full recovery, and told him that the day has been good to them.[19]
Unbeknownst to the Justice League, the Reach had set up shop inside the Warworld. They had the captured heroes, as well as Mongul and Despero, in stasis cells. But because the Ambassador refused to authorize an attack on the Justice League members guarding the crystal key chamber, they were unable to fully utilize the Warworld.[6]
The Reach's soldiers were ordered to elimate any interlopers aboard the Warworld.
In another section of the space fortress, Reach patrols relentlessly attempted to capture the sole holdout of the Team. However, Arsenal continued to elude them. He eventually came across a group of misfits—four former abductees who had developed meta-human powers, and were sent by Luthor to the Warworld on a mission to rescue the Team. They had used a Father Box provided by Luthor to boom-tube into the Warworld, and were tracking Superboy with the living computer through his Kryptonian DNA.[6]
The Reach continued their PR offensive, and presented Blue Beetle as a heroic alternative to the Justice League, who, according to the Ambassador, was virtually non-existent during the Warworld fight. He promised that the Reach would not enter the fortress, and would turn it over to humanity as a gift once it is ready to assume control.
That night, the Ambassador authorized the use of deadly force on Arsenal and the Misfits as he prepared for another appearance on G. Gordon Godfrey's show. Godfrey greeted him warmly, but his tone quickly turned accusatory as he confronted the Ambassador with evidence of Reach lies and propaganda.[6]
Black Beetle intercepted the misfits, but they fought him to a standstill with Arsenal's guidance. The Reach guarding the crystal key were ambushed by Deathstroke, who teleported in with a Father Box and spirited away the key. Arsenal released Mongul to distract Black Beetle. The ruse worked—Black Beetle was so fixated on punishing Mongul that the Team and the misfits escaped during their battle.[6]
Black Beetle managed to subdue Mongul with Green Beetle's timely arrival. To his chagrin, he discovered the crystal key is missing. Because the Ambassador refused to authorize an attack on the Justice League members guarding the crystal key chamber, he and a detachment of troops would instead guard the corridors leading to the chamber.[8]
June 13, 20:28 EDT
Blue Beetle foiled the Toyman's heist, and granted an interview to GBS News' Cat Grant.[8]
Under the ambassador's sway, Blue Beetle was forced to consort with the media.
The Ambassador dictated Blue Beetle's every action, including the words from his mouth.[8]
June 13, 20:40 MDT
Impulse and Batgirl ambushed Blue Beetle on his journey back to Jaime's home. Blue Beetle easily subdued both heroes, and the Ambassador ordered him to kill them both. The timely intervention of Rocket and Zatanna prevented this from happening. Blue Beetle was unable to break free from Rocket's mystically-empowered force bubble, and became their prisoner.[8]
June 14, post-00:45 UTC-3
The Team brought along Blue Beetle as their captive. The Ambassador railed and threatened them with destruction, to no avail.[8]
June 14, 05:19 UTC+2
The Reach lost control of both Green and Blue Beetles after the Team intervened and rebooted their scarabs.
Blue Beetle was brought into the Temple, where Zatanna began preparing for a magical ritual. The Ambassador sent Green Beetle to set Blue free, but more Team members were waiting. The Scientist grew uneasy at what the heroes were planning to do, but the Ambassador insisted that Green was enough—Black Beetle needed to guard the crystal key chamber.[8]
After the ritual completed, the Reach's worst nightmare was realized: both Beetles, Blue and Green, were "off-mode" and cleansed of Reach control. The Scientist berated the Ambassador for his failure, but he silenced her with an implied threat.[8]
June 19, 00:00 ECT
The Reach attended a summit organized by the Light in the caverns underneath the island. The trust on both sides had started to fray, and recriminations flew from both sides. A brief skirmish broke out when Black Manta challenged Black Beetle, but Aqualad restored the peace, claiming they had mutual enemies. However, the skirmish allowed Ra's al Ghul to get a close look at Aqualad's lieutenant, Tigress, and he recognized a pendant she was wearing as a glamour charm. He ripped it off her neck, exposing her as Artemis.
The Reach and the Light's partnership evaporated once Aqualad revealed that both sides had been playing each other.
The Ambassador was dumbfounded at Artemis's being alive, but Black Beetle quickly put the pieces together. Aqualad was a traitor who duped the Light. Deathstroke shot both heroes dead, but this triggered a pre-recorded holographic message from Aqualad. In the recording, Aqualad revealed the Light's duplicity in secretly undermining the Reach's agenda. By the end of the recording, the alliance between the Reach and the Light had completely crumbled.
When the apoplectic Ambassador threatened to carve up the Earth's surface with the Warworld's weapons, Vandal Savage revealed that the threat was hollow because he held the Warworld's crystal key. Upon learning this, Aqualad sprung his trap. Deathstroke was actually Miss Martian in disguise, and Team members rushed into the room, sealing off the cave exits. The Light activated a contingency plan, summoning Shadows to kill the Team. Aqualad had countered that as well—having planted Team members among the assassins.
In the chaos of the ensuing battle, Savage fled the scene with mystical help from Klarion, while Black Beetle killed Ra's al Ghul for his "cowardice". When the Ambassador tried to leave, Blue Beetle stapled him to the wall. He called out for Black Beetle, demanding to be freed. Black Beetle, however, invoked a clause in Reach law that stripped him of his authority due to his many failures. Black Beetle did free the Scientist, and they both managed to escape.[4]
Aqualad had holographically recorded the entire summit proceedings, and gave the footage to the Justice League and the United Nations. The Reach's goal of conquest was revealed, and Secretary-General Tseng formally rescinded his invitation to the Reach, and demanded that they leave the Earth. The Scientist fretted that the Green Lantern Corps would shortly arrive. However, Black Beetle had a plan that would conceal their tampering of Earth, which violated their treaty with the Guardians of the Universe.[4]
In a last-ditch effort, the Reach attempted to conceal their treachery by destroying the Earth with Magnetic Field Disruptors.
The Reach seeded the Earth with twenty-one Magnetic Field Disruptors. Upon gathering enough energy, the disruptors would enter "chrysalis mode" and unleash magnetic forces that would rip the Earth apart, and destroy evidence of Reach tampering on the planet. As the Reach prepared to leave the Earth, the Team attacked the Reach flagship. Black Beetle defeated Aqualad in battle, and successfully killed Green Beetle's scarab. Jaime Reyes and his scarab was more than a match for him, however, and they turned back his attack, killing his scarab.
During the attack, Blue Beetle was psychically connected to Black Beetle, and learned of Black Beetle's endgame plan for Earth.[11]
Defeated, the Reach left Earth and were escorted to Oa to stand trial before the Guardians of the Universe.
July 4, 21:15 EDT
The combined effort of Lex Luthor, forty of Earth's heroes, and the sacrifice of Kid Flash had saved the Earth from the MFDs. As the Earthlings celebrate their independence from the Reach, the remnants of the Reach fleet left Earth. They were escorted by the Green Lanterns of Earth to Oa, where they would stand trial before the Guardians of the Universe. The Scientist reiterated that they should have investigated how Blue Beetle went off-mode, but was shocked to silence by dirty looks from the Ambassador and the former Black Beetle.[11]
After their attempted invasion of Earth, the Green Lantern Corps declared war on the Reach for breaking the peace treaty.[20]

Northamptonshire Emergency Services Cadets (NESC) was founded in 2015 to promote a unique youth involvement programme that would provide opportunity for a diverse range of young people to access meaningful cadet activities. NESC supports the interoperability of the three emergency services Fire, Police and Ambulance by encouraging young people to work through any barriers they may have with authority and by having their awareness raised, understanding the role of officers, staff and volunteers in keeping our communities safe places to live, work and play in.
Northamptonshire Emergency Services Cadets is a vibrant and dynamic organisation providing unique youth opportunities to young people in Northamptonshire. The organisation was set up to build a sustainable cadet programme that was autonomous in its decision making whilst working in partnership with the emergency services. In common with many organisations operating in the voluntary and community sector, NESC is seeing a growing need for its work while at the same time witnessing dramatic reductions in the availability of public sector resources to address these challenges.
In 2018 /19 Cadets delivered 51,116 hours of volunteering to assist the emergency services and community groups in initiatives such as crime prevention, community speed watch, consultation, event management, vehicle safety checks, water safety management and inter-generational work. This was achieved through the commitment of Northamptonshire Police, Northamptonshire Fire and Rescue and East Midlands Ambulance Service who have included Northamptonshire Emergency Services Cadets in their Community Engagement Plans. This has meant that cadets are given excellent opportunities to learn and develop by working alongside officers and staff that are committed to youth involvement and outcomes for young people. Cadets are now assisting with core business where appropriate and are recognised and valued for their contribution.

The Basin Plan requires 262GL water recovery from the NSW Murray PLUS a portion of the shared recovery target of around 196GL (default pro-rata distribution).
Based on entitlement distribution in the NSW Murray this equates to a reduction of around 37% of General Security Water Entitlements available to Murray Irrigation customer shareholders.
With the potential for more if Sustainable Diversion Limit projects are not met.
1995 – 30GL Murray Irrigation conveyance water transferred to NSW Government for Adaptive Environmental Water.
1995-2010 – Land and Water Management Plans investing $105m Government funds with $544m community contribution.
The Living Murray program (NSW and Commonwealth) 45GL.
268GL MIL has been recovered for the Murray Darling Basin Plan (6GL more than the target – this could grow 6000 tons of rice).
This is 27% of MIL entitlements, with 10% to go.
According to the Save Water website site on average 1 ML of water produces 1200L of milk.
So 1 ML of water produces 4800 lattes.
2 billion L of milk, which is 9.3 billion lattes. If these lattes were lined up next to each other they would form a line 657,283.2km long, or around the world 16.4 times.
$1.2 billion less going into the national economy. This means less revenue for the government from taxes and less that they have to spend on infrastructure, education and health.


The Remington 870 sits atop the list of the most popular, affordable, and bulletproof shotguns in the American arsenal.
Now users have options, as Remington pumps up a new 870 DM–detachable magazine–feed in place of the traditional tube-fed slide action. Is this a case of "why didn't they do this sooner?" Or "why mess with a good thing?" Guns.com finds out.
What Sets the DM apart from a standard 870?
The first, and most important thing to note about the DM, is this is a redesign from the ground up. Though many have asked, suggested, and attempted, there is no retrofitting existing tube-fed guns. Right now, if you want a magazine fed 870, you must purchase a new gun. The DM's receiver is still made of steel, but the build is quite different with an aluminum magwell secured both fore and aft, with one crossbolt replacing the forward trigger pin. What looks like the standard magazine tube beneath the barrel is now a shortened, empty guide for the forend action. The remainder of the internals stay mostly the same as your granddaddy's 870, with action bars, crossbolt safety, and single-piece trigger assembly.
While the redesign steals the show, most other features remain standard Remington issue. The biggest positive to the new system, it seems, is the ability to interchange 870 barrels. The matte blue finish looks and feels like a blend of true blue and rust-prone, lower-budget parkerizing found on the 870 Express. Though the website advertises the DM's to ship with one six round polymer magazine, ours was packed with two, which would be a major benefit. In time, both three and ten rounders are also slated for availability.
This is not a trial run for Remington, the struggling company went all-in with six models launching simultaneously: 870 DM, DM Hardwood, DM Tactical, DM Magpul, DM Predator, and though it's technically a non-shotgun shotgun, a DM Tac-14. The base model is available in either synthetic or hardwood with a fixed cylinder choke, wearing an 18.5 barrel, weighing in at 7.5 pounds empty, with an affordable MSRP of $529. All the others, meanwhile, offer Rem Choke interchangeability, XS Ghost Ring sights, and specialized furniture with MSRP's starting at $799.
Our test gun is the more tactical/defense-minded Magpul edition of the DM which comes dressed with–you guessed it–Magpul stocks. The SGA buttstock comes with spacers for adjusting LOP, an integral sling mount, all capped with a cushy Supercell recoil pad. The Magpul MOE forend offers attachment points for accessories, but otherwise functions no better or worse than the oldest 870's corncob front.
The Magpul model wears XS Ghost Ring sights, a significant improvement over the standard single front bead on a gun built for home defense and tactical use. The quality metal rear sight is integrated into the picatinny rail, allowing room for other forward optics, while the ramped front XS white dot quickly acquires in low light, albeit not as well in snowy winter conditions. Like most others in the new DM family, our Magpul model wears an 18.5" barrel threaded to accept Rem Chokes, and ships with one ported, breacher-style cylinder choke.
An oversized mag release sits forward of the mag well, and is easily actuated with gloves or under pressure. The mag does not drop free, but rather requires removal. It is important to note that the magazine fits very snugly, and takes some practice and muscle to actuate, at least for the first couple dozen reloads. We're glad to see that it snaps definitively straight upward instead of requiring a tilt-in lockup. With six rounds in the magazine, and one in the chamber, shooters gain slightly more firepower compared to a the "old" 870 which holds four in the tube and one in the pipe, though tube extensions are readily available, too. The single-stack magazine itself functioned well, with tight lock up, reliably feeding of both 2-3/4"and 3" rounds.
Our Magpul edition came packed in big green's now standard heavy cardboard box. With an MSRP of $799, the Magpul version is at the top end of the specialized DM's. With its Rem chokes and upgraded furniture, may be worthwhile if you're in the market for a more tactical shotgun.
Though the DM will handle most any ammunition, our Magpul test gun with ghost ring sights and an 18.5" barrel is naturally limited in the birding or clays games. Still, we shot through a variety of ammunition from Winchester AA 7.5's to both 2.5 and 3" 00 Buck. Though we expect 100% reliability from any pump, we were pleased that the redesigned mag-well feeding system worked exceptionally well. Our range days varied from 40 degrees above to -15 below. We dared the gun to fail—at once firing 35 rounds as quickly as possible, buried the gun in the snow, let it freeze, pulled it out, and ran more. It wouldn't give up and Remington is happy to feed its own gun, as the Remington Ultimate Defense and Managed Recoil double-ought ammo is perfect for these home-defense-hearted scatterguns.
The gun balances well with its shorter barrel and tactical furniture. Accuracy is naturally limited to closer-quarters, given the single included cylinder choke; though, as the Magpul model is threaded for Rem chokes, buyers could—and probably should—invest in a few extra tubes. The action was as smooth as any utilitarian pump, and the inclusion of multiple stock spacers allows shooters to customize the comfort of the DM, meaning the throw was easy even for someone like me with a shorter wingspan. Trigger pull is nothing to write home about, neither good nor bad, and just plain gets the job done.
It is no great secret that the Remington quality of decades ago is not what it used to be. Thus, it was with great skepticism that we took up the DM. The build feels solid and held up to quite rigorous use in less-than-ideal windy, frigid, wet conditions. How it would fare over the long haul is quite another, and for that, only time will tell.
The idea of magazine fed shotguns, though touted by Remington with great horn-tooting and songs of angels, is in fact neither new or ground-breaking. Detachable magazine bolt action shotguns were a cheap staple decades ago, but eventually fell out of favor. With missing magazines and cracked stocks, those same guns are now a dime a dozen. More to the current point, however, magazine-fed pumps and adaptations have been around for more than a few years from companies like Adaptive Tactical, whose Venom kit turns any existing Mossberg 500 into a mag fed weapon or Black Ace Tactical generating custom mag fed shotguns.
Furthermore, Mossberg wasted little time in nipping at the heels of Remington with their own magazine-fed shotgun. The Mossberg 590M accomplishes the same work, but with higher-capacity, double-stack magazines.
One plus of magazine over tube-fed guns in general is the ability to safely use most any style of ammunition without worry of either damaging projectiles or worse. That doesn't mean as much to the DM as it does, to say, rifles firing ballistic or pointed tips, but this gun is built for slugs, buck and defense rounds. Best of all, it's easy to have one mag loaded up with slugs and another with buck or birdshot, making changing ammo as easy as a mag swap.
Benefits aside however, a large, protruding magazine does not make for a svelte birding shotgun, clays buster, or ultra-maneuverable defense weapon. In considering the DM for something like a turkey hunt, I found even the six round single stack magazine to be too cumbersome. Where the DM may excel, however, is on the competition market like where rapid reloads are the norm. There's little doubt that the majority of shooters can swap an empty mag for a full one in less time than they can fill the tube.
Our Magpul edition DM is a well-built, purpose-driven shotgun and quite simply does its job. The Predator would make a durable turkey or hog slayer as well, if the style fits your needs. An MSRP of $799 is a tough sell for any pump gun, no matter how cool, though we have yet to see real world price adjustments. No word on cost or availability of extra mags at this time, though aftermarket companies are sure to jump into the fray.
At the end of the day—and a number of range days–I'm just not as gaga about the DM as others seem to be. It is plenty reliable, capable, and enjoyable enough to shoot but just not as natural, feeling somewhat clunky with the magazine protruding below, and priced significantly higher than its tube-fed counterparts. If your shooting style benefits from quick mag changes, if you bleed green, or just want something different, then certainly there's a DM version for you. Until then, I'll be here bemoaning the sweet bygone hey-days of Big Green's lore when the company set the standard for American made rifles and shotguns.

Travellers, Not Tourists – my time and travels around the world and in my own backyard! | Where have you been?
2016: My life had changed a bit since I started blogging here. I was working full-time as a teacher at a wonderful high-school, in Perth, Western Australia. However, I was able to take 6 months long service leave and discover the wonders of the US and then decide not to go back to work on my return. Well, it was planned.
Anyway, I now work as a relief teacher and that is terrific fun. I get more time with the kids, get to see my workmates and have very little stress and can spend more time in my garden or going to the gym. I love my life. I have more time for my Dad and my dogs too.


While Meru was watching the two playing together, a knock was hear from the door. Then the voice of the great knight commander was heard.
Hearing Arena's voice, Mondol went in the room without listening to anyone calling out to him。Arena who was humanized and was wearing a robe, stood up and immediately hugged Mondol. Forna and Meru were stunned by the sudden turn of events not knowing how to react.
The dignity of a king immediately vanished as he changed his face to that of a sloppy old man pampering his grandchild while patting Arena's head. Seeing that, Forna regained her consciousness and fixed her posture.
Forna's expression was indeed kind of dissatisfied just as Mondol have said, and that was because her play time with Arena was disturbed. But competing with Arena was certainly hard.
Still confused about what to do, Arena interrupted and told her, who was still puzzled in regards to the King's proposal.
First will be a match between the Mondol and Forna. Arena in her fairy form went down on the board to move around the board as she teaches them what to do. The two people quietly listen to her while smiling.
It was understandable for Forna to panic a bit regarding that. However, no matter how skilled they are at hiding, it was just plain impossible to conceal such a huge dragon from the people in the castle, so it was quite imaginable what would happen if the king didn't know about it before then it would have caused quite a panic.
Placing a Rook in a spot, Forna continues.
Forna bowed in thanks to Mondol.
The eyes of the two met. And Mondol thought, the one who was now facing him is definitely the figure of royalty bearing the weight of a country.
The Butler Meru and the Knight Commander Magenta were moved, witnessing the two establishing a connection after the long time where a rift was created between these races. It was also a fact that among their entire race, Forna shouldered most of the hate and rejection that anyone else could have.
Arena flew before the two people who were watching the interaction of their lieges. And what Arena handed them was another game board.
Receiving such a proposal from Arena, the two couldn't help but show an awkward smile.
After being called by Belmour-san, we arrived at the room where two pairs who were competing on games since a while ago were playing. There I found Mondol-san who was trying to convince Forna-chan for another match, and Forna-chan who seems to have already been playing for a while and was tired of it.
The other pair was a Sheep Butler and the Knight Commander, and they were staring intently at the board while having a serious expression. Arena was also watching their game with a serious face. Oh, that certainly is a hard to determine match.
Noticing me, she bloomed into a smile and jumped towards me. Catching her, I gave her a full body swing, and then she buried her face on my chest. Her tail was wagging in frenzy. It makes me want to mofumofu it.
Though I was hugging her, her tail was brushing off my hands and was a bit ticklish. While in that state, I moved closely to Mondol-san and seated myself. He only greeted me with a bitter smile.
As I was looking at the apologetic King trying to make peace, somebody hugged me from behind. Unn, I understood immediately who it was. I looked behind to see Arena's smiling face.
The two reacted to who were smiling at each other showing excessive affection. They probably finished their game. The Sheep Butler and Magenta-san also came over.
After saying that, he performed an elegant bow. This was probably the person who fled with her. So the name of the sheep butler was Meru-san, if it was in my previous life, he would definitely be a person from a comedy show.
After everyone calmed down and sat for tea, Mondol-san finally started the real discussion.
Although the kingdom of Ladaria was also of royalty, it is needed for the chieftains of different races to vote on whom to appoint as their king. And if even 1 of chieftains doesn't vote, then they won't be able to ascend as king. It is a very strict rule, and the succession condition required a great amount of effort in order for everyone to acknowledge the ruler, making sure that the enthroned would have the capacity and charisma to rule over all the various races of beastmen.
To Aidle's answer, Forna stared at her with an astonished look. Aidle, unannounced, stepped in the conversation without caring about anyone's reaction.
Grabbing Forna, Aidle insisted such declaration. She then encourages Forna more.
Aidle then faced Forna once more and told her, 「Come on now, say it」. Forna then faced Mondol and said with courage.
That was what she decided to do for now. All the difficult stuff will be decided later. It would be much better to think about how to prepare the foundations first and there will be plenty of time to think about other things later.
Well, I plan to do some kind of propaganda though.
After saying our goodbye's to everyone we returned to the inn. Near the entrance of the inn, we found La Veil already having a blast partying with all the adventurers present, and I thought this will be a long night again.

Modals pop up and gracefully display follow up items before they are shared via email. And Expo is ready for white-labelling, which means that every company can customize the interface with their own branding by simply adding their logo and specifying their brand's primary and secondary colors.
I would give LunarLincoln high marks across the board. I've met and worked with everyone on the team in some capacity, and I think they are all extremely talented and capable in their respective roles. Jonathan Wiley has been my primary point of contact, and he is awesome to work with in every respect—responsive, intelligent, supportive, and always willing to discuss the pros and cons of a particular approach or use of technology. I've always felt that he wants my project to be successful as much as I do.

Do you want to see one of the icons of music live in concert? If your answer is yes, then you're in luck as here at StubHub you can find a range of David Byrne 2018 tour tickets for his shows in Australia. That's right, David Byrne, known for fronting the new wave band Talking Heads, as well as a successful solo artist, is coming to Australia on tour to promote his new album American Utopia. The Scottish-American singer-songwriter will be touring New Zealand before performing in Sydney, Gold Coast, Melbourne and Adelaide throughout November 2018. A David Byrne concert is not something you want to miss and the Scottish-American musician more than deserves his place in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. In 2018, Byrne returned with his first solo album in fourteen years. American Utopia features collaborations with the likes of Brian Eno, Sampha, Daniel Lopatin and many more. The album forms part of a larger art/multimedia project called Reasons to Be Cheerful, which aims to spread positivity. So, with the release of his new album, David Byrne is on tour and you can check the singer's Australian concert schedule before buying David Byrne concert tickets here today at StubHub.
Starting his music career in high school, David Byrne shot to fame when he teamed up with Chris Frantz and Tina Weymouth to form the new wave band Talking Heads in 1975. Between 1975 and 1991, Talking Heads released eight studio albums and achieved significant success with songs like "Road to Nowhere", "Psycho Killer", "This Must Be The Place", "Once in a Lifetime", "Take Me to the River" and many more.
Although David Byrne had done a bit of solo music while with Talking Heads, notable works include Rei Momo (1989) and My Life in the Bush of Ghosts with Brian Eno in 1981, it was the 1994 album davidbyrne (or davidenryb) which was more conventional rock and led to commercial success. Byrne shows no sign of slowing down, and his new album American Utopia charted at Number 3 on the US Billboard charts, making it his first top 10 album on the US Billboard 200.
There is no doubt that David Byrne has had a large influence on music. Byrne has collaborated with some of the biggest and most eclectic names in music, including Fatboy Slim, Morcheeba, Brian Eno, Martha Wainwright and Arcade Fire.
So, what are you waiting for? There is a David Byrne tour and you can buy and sell tickets to see David Byrne live at one of his unforgettable concerts, performing both his solo material and Talking Heads music.
Once you have bought your David Byrne tickets, check out our offers for St Vincent, Paul McCartney and Robert Plant.


We had a busy 'railway in wartime' weekend which this year coincided with a wedding in St Matthew's, next door. The bride had been in the coffee shop last month for her hen party. When they booked the ceremony they hadn't realised she would be a war bride. The photo shows a couple of our regular war weekend customers - the pipe is a prop, the moustache is real. The flag in the photo is that of Bill's father's unit in WW2: Royal Marines 40 Commando.
Lots of young visitors came to the coffee shop during half term. This group enjoyed reading and being read to, sitting comfortably next to the log burner.
We haven't had a real frost yet, but most of the leaves have gone from our grape vine. These last three look amazing in the late autumn sunshine.
