'Suicide Squad' Explodes With Awesome Trailer
By Zach Bencomo
Warner Bros debuted a trailer reel for David Ayer's Suicide Squad for Comic Con. Usually, studios will debut special trailers of films only for those who attended Comic Con. A few hours later, bootleg copies of the trailer started to pop up on the Internet. This bootleg trailer upset Warner Bros' Worldwide Marketing president Sue Kroll who had previously stated Warner Bros had no intentions of releasing a better version of the trailer.
The bootleg trailer, however, garnered great praise. Ultimately, Warner Bros changed their minds and decided to release the trailer shown at Comic Con. Sue Kroll released the following statement: "Warner Bros. Pictures and our anti-piracy team have worked tirelessly over the last 48 hours to contain the Suicide Squad footage that was pirated from Hall H on Saturday. We have been unable to achieve that goal. Today we will release the same footage that has been illegally circulating on the web, in the form it was created and high quality with which it was intended to be enjoyed. We regret this decision as it was our intention to keep the footage as a unique experience for the Comic Con crowd, but we cannot continue to allow the film to be represented by the poor quality of the pirated footage stolen from our presentation."
In Suicide Squad, Amanda Waller (portrayed by Viola Davis) assembles a taskforce of the world's deadliest villains for a mission that will do some good for humanity. The ensemble cast features Will Smith (Focus, Men In Black), Jared Leto (Dallas Buyers Club, Lord Of War), Margot Robbie (Focus, Wolf of Wall Street), Joel Kinnaman (Robocop, Run All Night), Jai Courtney (Jack Reacher, Divergent), Cara Delevingne (Paper Towns, Pan), and Viola Davis (The Help, Traffic). Suicide Squad takes place within the same universe as Man of Steel and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. The film will be released on August 5, 2016.

Twitter's latest effort to tackle abusive content focuses on Direct Messages
By Trevor Mogg	 August 19, 2019 1:40AM PST
Twitter is continuing with its long-running attempts to deal with abuse on its service. The latest effort is the trial of a filter that puts potentially abusive Direct Messages out of view.
Announcing the new feature in a tweet, the company said: "Unwanted messages aren't fun. So we're testing a filter in your DM requests to keep those out of sight, out of mind."
The new section can be found by going to your Messages and tapping on the existing Message Requests button that contains content from people you don't follow.
Below any new messages, you'll see a note saying: "Show additional messages, including those that may contain offensive content." Finally, tap on Show to view any messages that Twitter's filters suggest may contain offensive content or spam.
Its usefulness will depend largely on the accuracy of Twitter's algorithms to accurately single out unwanted messages. If you find it's not working as advertised at the current time, it may be worth giving the team some time to hone the filter's capabilities.
If it works well, the feature will be a welcome addition to the microblogging service for those who prefer to keep their Direct Messages inbox open to one and all.
Unwanted messages aren't fun. So we're testing a filter in your DM requests to keep those out of sight, out of mind. pic.twitter.com/Sg5idjdeVv
— Twitter Support (@TwitterSupport) August 15, 2019
Of course, if you'd rather not receive any messages from people you don't follow, it's easy to put a block in place. Simply tap on your Twitter profile, select Security And Privacy, and then Privacy And Safety, and then ensure the button for Receive Messages From Anyone is in the off position.
While Twitter still faces plenty of criticism for its efforts at purging abusive content from its site, it has steadily been introducing various measures in a bid to tackle the problem.
In a blog post in April, the San Francisco-based company said that while previously it only reviewed potentially abusive tweets if they were reported to its team by the user, it now makes it "a priority to take a proactive approach to abuse in addition to relying on people's reports."
It added: "Today, by using technology, 38% of abusive content that's enforced is surfaced proactively for human review instead of relying on reports from people using Twitter. This encompasses a number of policies, such as abusive behavior, hateful conduct, encouraging self-harm, and threats, including those that may be violent."
Twitter said it's continuing to work on increasing the speed of its technology so that it can further improve its ability to deal with inappropriate content and take action before it's reported.

The Untold Truth Of George R. R. Martin's Wife – Parris McBride
By Olivia Clarke September 7, 2022
1 Who is George R. R. Martin's wife Parris McBride?
3 Parris' career and philanthropy
4 Love life and marriage with George R. R. Martin
5 Other interests and hobbies
6 Parris' net worth and looks
7 Who is George R. R. Martin?
Who is George R. R. Martin's wife Parris McBride?
Parris McBride was born in Portland, Oregon USA but has kept her date of birth hidden – her zodiac sign is said to be Aries, and she holds American nationality. She is a philanthropist and a blogger, but perhaps best known for being the wife of George R. R. Martin, who is a famous American novelist, and a writer of short stories.
Parris was raised as an only child in Portland by her father, who was the owner of a small grocery store and her mother who was a housewife.
Parris was very active while growing up as she was outside most of the time playing sports and games with her friends, and attended a local high school at which she was physically active, and where she played whatever sport she was allowed to. She didn't enroll at a college upon matriculation, but began working, and as she has a hippie soul,she left home at the age of 21 to roam around the US. She returned some years later, and started working at the lesbian restaurant "Old Wives' Tales", but was let go due to her playing inappropriate music.
Parris' career and philanthropy
After that, she started working at the restaurant Sambo before deciding to stop working as a waitress for good, and become a journalist who would run her own live journal, in which she would talk about the details of her everyday life. She soon became a philanthropist, and even for her wedding, Parris asked her guests and fans not to give her presents, but to rather donate money to charities focused on helping animals. She is a huge lover of animals and is a supporter of the Wild Spirit Wolf Sanctuary which aims to help wolf-dogs. Parris has helped and worked with several other charity organizations, such as Pearl Foundation and Meow Wolf.
George R. R. Martin and Parris McBride
Love life and marriage with George R. R. Martin
George and Parris met in Nashville in 1975 when he was dating Gale Burnick, which prevented him from dating Parris although he was attracted to her. Parris was attracted to George's friend Joe Haldeman, and George went on to marry Gale in 1976, but they divorced in 1979, and two years later he got in touch with Parris.
George was living in Santa Fe in New Mexico while Parris lived in Portland, and they both tried convincing the other to move – George convinced her to come and visit him in Santa Fe, she fell in love with his house and the city and stayed there with him.
As they didn't want to have children straight away, they adopted a kitten which they named Mulligan, but after over 30 years of being together, they married on 15 February 2011. At some point, George and Parris apparently agreed not to have children.
Other interests and hobbies
Parris has been interested in many things including travelling, and as a hippie she has been all around the US before deciding to settle down, but late visited many European and Asian countries with George. She has helped numerous stray animals by opening the doors of her house to them, feeding them and paying for their vaccinations, etc, – although she loves all animals, two of her favorites are dogs and horses.
My heartfelt thanks once again to the incredibly generous Parris McBride-Martin and George R.R. Martin for donating to the Bram Stoker Bronze Bust Project!!!!Love these folks!!!Bry
Posted by Arkham Studios on Wednesday, September 14, 2016
One of her main hobbies is reading, and her favorite writers are Ernest Hemingway and Virginia Woolf, and their books "The Old Man and the Sea" and "To The Lighthouse".
She likes to watch movies in her spare time, and her favorite actor and actress are Elvis Presley and Katharine Hepburn and their movies "Flaming Star" and "The Philadelphia Story".
Parris' net worth and looks
As of mid-2020, Parris' net worth is estimated at over $500,000, although she is assumed to share her husband's fortune of over $65 million. Parris has blonde hair and her eyes are blue, while she is around 5ft 5ins (1.65m) tall. Her age is around the same as George's – 71.
Who is George R. R. Martin?
George Raymond Martin was born in Bayonne, New Jersey USA, on 20 September 1948 – his zodiac sign is Virgo and he holds American nationality. He is perhaps still best known for his series of novels "A Song of Ice and Fire", on which the popular fantasy series "Game of Thrones" is based.
George was raised in Bayonne alongside his sisters Darleen and Janet by their mother Margaret Brady Martin, and their father Raymond Collins Martin who was a longshoreman. The family became rich, but after losing everything in the Great Depression, they became very poor. As George wanted to travel but couldn't afford it, he decided to read books as he heard somewhere that reading books can be the same as travelling.
He started writing, and sold numerous monster stories to his neighbors for several pennies, and was great at creating 'endless stories' which would go on and on, and which he would never end. He studied at Mary Jane Donohoe School before switching to Marist High School, at which he began reading comic books and became a huge fan of Marvel Comics. He went on to attend Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism, from which he graduated summa cum laude with a Bachelor of Science degree in journalism in 1970, while he obtained his Master of Science degree in 1971. He was supposed to be drafted at the time of the Vietnam War but objected, and volunteered for two years at AmeriCorps VISTA.
George went on to teach English at Clarke University, before deciding to work as a full-time writer in 1977 – the cause of this was the death of his closest friend, which led him to think about what he really wanted to do in life. He is known to be very accessible to his fans and is often contributing to his blog "Not a Blog", while he can be seen attending every comic book and science fiction convention in the USA.
George has been criticized for only one thing – for taking too long between the books in his series "A Song of Ice and Fire", as six years passed between his fourth and fifth books, however, he has explained that he isn't solely focused on a single book, but is always working on multiple volumes.

Final - Kabaddi GBE Criteria 2021-22 -
England Kabaddi Federation (UK) Governing Body Endorsement Requirements Section 1: Overview of governing body endorsements for the Tier 5 (Temporary Worker) Creative and Sporting category of the points- based system This page provides a brief explanation of the endorsement requirements a sport governing body has agreed UK sponsors of the Tier 5 (Temporary Worker) Creative and Sporting category of the points-based system must show. The Tier 5 (Temporary Worker) Creative and Sporting category is for sportspeople (and their entourage where appropriate) and coaches who are internationally established at the highest level in their sport, and or will make a significant contribution to the development of their sport in the UK. Sport governing body is one recognised by one of the home country sports councils like Sport England. Every governing body must be approved by the Home Office before they are included in Appendix M of the Immigration Rules. The application process explained: migrants applying to come to the UK under either of the sporting categories above need to be sponsored by an organisation that has a sponsor licence under Tier 5 (Temporary Worker) Creative and Sporting. If you wish to sponsor such migrants, you must have a sponsor licence. Before you apply to the Home Office for a licence you must be endorsed by the governing body for your sport. This endorsement confirms to the Home Office that the application for a licence is from a genuine sports club (or equivalent) that has a legitimate requirement to bring migrants to the UK as sportspeople. Once licensed, you can assign certificates of sponsorship to a sportsperson or coach with a job offer that allows them to apply for leave to enter or remain in the UK. Each individual must also have a personal endorsement from the governing body for their sport before you assign the certificate of sponsorship. The list of governing bodies and the tiers for which they are currently approved by the Home Office is in Appendix M of the Immigration Rules. Approved governing bodies will work within the Home Office code of practice for sports governing bodies and must comply with any immigration regulations, UK legislation and the principles of the Points Based System as detailed on the GOV.UK website. Page 1 of 6 Length of endorsement Governing body endorsements should be issued for a period appropriate to the period of approval for sponsorship or the tier under which the migrant's application is being made, that is: Type of Tier Length of endorsement application Sponsor Tier 5 (Temporary Worker) 4 years from date of issue Creative and Sporting Migrant Tier 5 (Temporary Worker) For the length of the contract or Creative and Sporting up to a maximum of 12 months, whichever is the shorter period. Change of employment If a migrant is intending to change employer, their new employer must request a new governing body endorsement. The endorsement can be issued for the length of the contract or to the maximum period permitted within the category, whichever is the shorter. The new employer must assign a new certificate of sponsorship to the migrant to allow them to apply to the Home Office for new leave to remain. Leave to remain must be granted before the migrant can start work with the new employer. Salary The salary should be agreed as part of the contract between the migrant and the sponsor. This and the other conditions of employment should be at least equal to those normally given to a resident worker for the type of work undertaken. Supplementary Employment Migrants are eligible to undertake supplementary employment under the Home Office supplementary employment regulations. The supplementary employment section of the Tiers 2 & 5: guidance for sponsors has more information on this. Page 2 of 6 Section 2: Requirements This page explains the England Kabaddi Federation (EKF) requirements under the Tier 5 (Temporary Worker) Creative and Sporting category for the 2021 season. This criteria is effective from 20 February 2021. The endorsements apply to England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Consultation The following requirements have been agreed by the Home Office following consultation with the England Kabaddi Federation (UK) and United Kingdom Kabaddi Federation and England Kabaddi Association and all known other organisations. Review The requirements will be reviewed annually. The next review will be in February 2022. Length of season The playing season in the UK generally runs from May to August of each year. This may vary slightly from season to season depending on the arrangement of the first and last matches. Requirements The table below shows the endorsement requirements for sponsors and migrants. Category Requirement Sponsor Governing body endorsements for sponsors will be issued to clubs who are an affiliated member of the England Tier 5 (Temporary Kabaddi Federation (UK) or any other such body that is Worker) Creative engaged in promotion and enhancement of the game of and Sporting Kabaddi at the highest level in UK.

Not unexpectedly, a great many of the wolf's detractors live in northern Minnesota, the only one of the contiguous 48 states that still has a sizable wolf population, and where this predator remains the archenemy of cattle and sheep ranchers that border on wolf territory. As one Minnesota rancher put it, ''The only good wolf is a dead wolf,'' although other ranchers seek only reduction, not extermination, of the wolf population.
Which one is better sizable wolf population or sizable population of wolves.
Please explain the answer?

This question is one of the most ticklish problems for a variety of reasons. First of all, this is GMATPREP question. By marking the word 'this' in the non-underlined part, GMAT is giving us a message that we should wink at it and leave it, whatever be the its reference since GMAT is known to be liberal in the reference of the pronouns.
But more importantly: is the use of the singular 'has' correct?
Look at some examples
1. Twenty-two feet long and 10 feet in diameter, the AM-1 is one of the many new satellites that is a part of 15 years effort of subjecting the interactions of Earth's atmosphere, oceans, and land surfaces to detailed scrutiny from space.
-Correct choice: E. satellites that are part of a 15-year effort to subject the interactions of Earth's atmosphere, ocean, and land surfaces
2. With its abundance of noun inflections, Icelandic is one of several Germanic languages that is compact when written but can lengthen considerably when translated into English.
Correct Choice: (D) that are compact when written but can lengthen considerably in English translation

Here is a detailed explanation to this question-

Meaning is crucial to solving this problem:
Understanding the intended meaning is key to solving this question; the intended meaning of this sentence is that Minnesota is the only one of the contiguous forty-eight states where there is still a sizable population of wolves and where the wolf remains the archenemy of cattle and sheep.
Concepts tested here: Parallelism + Meaning + Modifiers + Pronouns + Grammatical Construction
•	Any elements linked by a conjunction ("and" in this sentence) must be parallel.
•	Semicolons and the "comma + conjunction" construction are used to link two independent clauses; commas are used to link an independent clause with a dependent one; comma cannot be used to join two independent clauses.
•	"where" is only to refer to a physical location.
A: Trap. This answer choice fails to maintain parallelism between "that still has a sizable wolf population" and "where this predator remains the archenemy of cattle and sheep"; please remember that any elements linked by a conjunction ("and" in this sentence) must be parallel. Further, Option A incorrectly uses the "comma + conjunction ("and" in this sentence)" construction to join the independent clause "Minnesota is the only…population" and the dependent clause "where this predator remains the archenemy of cattle and sheep"; remember, semicolons and the "comma + conjunction" construction are used to link two independent clauses; commas are used to link an independent clause with a dependent one.
B: This answer choice incorrectly and illogically uses the pronoun "where" to refer to the noun "wolf population"; please remember, "where" is only used to refer to a physical location.
C: Trap. This answer choice fails to maintain parallelism between "that still has a sizable population of wolves" and "where this predator remains the archenemy of cattle and sheep"; please remember that any elements linked by a conjunction ("and" in this sentence) must be parallel. Further, Option C incorrectly uses the "comma + conjunction ("and" in this sentence)" construction to join the independent clause "Minnesota is the only…wolves" and the dependent clause "where this predator remains the archenemy of cattle and sheep"; remember, semicolons and the "comma + conjunction" construction are used to link two independent clauses; commas are used to link an independent clause with a dependent one.
D: Trap. This answer choice alters the meaning of the sentence by using a semicolon to join the independent clauses "Minnesota is the only...still sizable" and "this predator remains the archenemy of cattle and sheep"; the use of the semicolon incorrectly implies that the wolf remaining the archenemy of cattle and sheep is a fact separate from the fact that Minnesota is the only one of the contiguous forty-eight states where there is still a sizable wolf population; the intended meaning of the sentence is that Minnesota is the only one of the contiguous forty-eight states where there is still a sizable population of wolves and where the wolf remains the archenemy of cattle and sheep.
E: Correct. This answer choice maintains parallelism between the phrases "where there is still a sizable population of wolves" and "where this predator remains the archenemy of cattle and sheep". Further, Option D correctly uses the pronoun "where" to refer to the noun "one of the contiguous forty-eight states", conveying the intended meaning of the sentence- that Minnesota is the only one of the contiguous forty-eight states where there is still a sizable population of wolves and where the wolf remains the archenemy of cattle and sheep.
Hence, E is the best answer choice.

Look here:
(D) where the population of wolves is still sizable; - gramatically is correct but needs conjunction to show the logical relationship between two independent clauses, rather tah semicolon that implies their equality
Remember: when two clauses are introduced than both of them must be parallel either "that….that" OR "where….where" (it is wrong to use "that….where")

E is the correct answer.
In A and B, this predator has no referent. It is meant to refer to wolves but the population, not the wolves are mentioned.
C uses "that" instead of "where" when referring to Minesotta. Where is used for physical locations.
In D the meaning is obscured. "Population of wolves is still sizable" can mean that it is still possible to obtain the size of the population. The intended meaning is that the number of wolves in the population is still a decently large size. i.e. sizable.
E corrects the above errors and maintains parallel structure.
Choice D woefully misses the conjunction that bridges Minnesota with the un-underlined part of the sentence, resulting in a debate as to what purpose the second part serves after separated from the main part, by a semicolon.
In B, doesn't the pronoun where, by virtue of its placement, modify population, which is wrong?
Though wordy, by using where for both the parts of the sentence and also by employing the more customary population of wolves rather than the odd wolf population, E seems to stand out IMO

A. that still has a sizable wolf population, and where --- Parallelisms error: we can not place that clause parallel to where clause.
B. that still has a sizable wolf population, where --- where (relative pronoun) is modifying the population.
C. that still has a sizable population of wolves, and where -- same error as in A.
D. where the population of wolves is still sizable; --- separation of ideas by semicolon doesn't go well in this option.
E. where there is still a sizable population of wolves and where --- Though "where there" sounds awkward, E presents perfect parallelism and keeps ideas properly connected.
Therefore, E is Right.
Note: verb "has" in choice A, B and C is fine; it agrees with "the only one".

A. that still has a sizable wolf population, and where - "contiguous 48 states" is plural and being the subject of the "that" clause, needs the plural verb "have" and not "has". "that" ||"where"
B. that still has a sizable wolf population, where - "contiguous 48 states" is plural and being the subject of the "that" clause, needs the plural verb "have" and not "has". "Population" is not a place
C. that still has a sizable population of wolves, and where - "contiguous 48 states" is plural and being the subject of the "that" clause, needs the plural verb "have" and not "has". "that" ||"where"
D. where the population of wolves is still sizable; - "where" correctly refers back to a place". But the "population of the wolves" and "predator" wolves "being an archenemy of cattle and sheep" are 2 related ideas which can best be presented by a conjunction "and" and not by a semi colon clause. The purpose of the part remains ambiguous because of this.
E. where there is still a sizable population of wolves and where Correct
as we are talking about 48 states so it should be "have".. A, B , C are wrong.
Down to D and E
Use of semicolon is wrong. E conveys the meaning properly

THE NUMBER OF takes singular verb
A NUMBER OF takes plural verb
NOT ONE always takes singular verb (I put this here just in case)
In our sentence "Minnesota is the only one of the contiguous..." - therefore the verb should be singular
where and where - should be parallel
Two parallel clauses often both start with subordinators in order to remove ambiguity. In this instance, the subordinator must be repeated for both clauses!

Hi Experts, i have a query can we not eliminate abc on the basis of that as we always use where when addressing location?
1 more thing what is the anticident of this predator?

Good question, shalabhg27. I don't think that the GMAT is particularly rigid on this. Sure, if you use the word "where", it would have to modify a place or location -- but you could use "that" to modify a location, too.
The restaurant that serves a Polish buffet is one of Chicago's most legendary eateries.
Someday, I want to live in a country that has a reasonable health care system.
Both of these seem completely acceptable to me, even though "that" modifies a location in each case ("restaurant" and "country", respectively). So I wouldn't say that "where" is necessary when you're modifying a place or location.
In the correct answer option E, the mention is of wolves whereas in the non-underlined portion the reference to "this predator" seems confusing to me.
This predator is singular and wolves is plural.
Can anybody clarify please?
Ugh -- this part is trickier, and I don't really like what the GMAT has done here. First, you don't technically need an antecedent for "this predator", since "this predator" isn't a pronoun. But the singular/plural thing is a little bit funky: the sentence would probably be a little bit better if (E) said "these predators" (to match the word "wolves") instead of "this predator."
But to be fair, I don't think that the singular/plural issue is all that much of a crime in this case. Again, "this predator" isn't a pronoun; if "this predator" were changed to "it" in (E), then the answer choice would be inarguably wrong, since "it" can't refer to "wolves." But since "this predator" isn't a pronoun, I think the GMAT would argue that there's no ambiguity here: we still easily understand what, exactly, "this predator" is. Again, I don't love it, but I see their point.
More importantly: remember that the GMAT never asks you to identify a perfect answer choice. They're asking you to identify the best of the five options. Or the least crappy of the five options. As plenty of others have suggested, there are more severe problems with the other four answer choices -- and the little singular/plural issue in (E) is pretty minor by comparison.

if an expert can please solidify my thinking here, that would be great:
- at first upon re-reviewing this question, i thought "where" was an error b/c there is no physical location immediately following/preceding the position "where" is in, in the sentence.
-- however, upon reading it again, i'm considering that "where" can tie back in to Minnesota. in fact, for the correct answer, both "where"s tie back to "Minnesota". correct?
> Broader take-away being the GMAT does not necessarily have to insert a location immediately before/after "where" in a sentence...there could be some words/phrases separating the two components

Just kidding. The Lakers are going to be really, really fun to watch this year. And next year, once they get LeBron. And the entire NBA will be better when the Lakers are good again.
Anyway, I think that there are a couple of ways to think about this:
All five answer choices are basically structured the same way, with the modifier (starting with either "that" or "where") following the phrase "Minnesota is the only one of the contiguous forty-eight states." So it's clearly a moot point in the eyes of the GMAT: all five answer choices are structured the same way, so you don't really have to worry about the modifier placement. (If you're concerned about "that" vs. "where", check out my post above: https://gmatclub.com/forum/minnesota-is ... l#p1838805)
In this particular example, I think we could debate whether the modifier "where there is still a sizable population" refers to "Minnesota" or "one of the only states" (which, of course, is the same thing as saying "Minnesota"). Either way, it makes perfect sense.
More broadly, it can be perfectly OK to stick some sort of modifier between "where" and the location/place it modifies. Example: "In 2012, I moved to Colorado, the most beautiful and drunken state in the country, where beer flows from mountain streams." Sure, "where" is a little ways from "Colorado", but it's still perfectly clear.

I was really bumped after seeing the OA of this question. In the correct answer option E, wolves are mentioned, whereas in the non-underlined portion the reference to "this predator" confused me and I directly rejected this option. This predator is singular and "wolves" is plural. Though that part is clear after reading the GMATNinja's explanation.
But I have one quick question. "that" and "where" both are relative pronouns so why they cannot be parallel? ALso, can someone elaborate why options A and C are incorrect??
Someone has mentioned : Parallelisms error: we can not place that clause parallel to where clause. Is that correct? I maybe asking a silly question but I am confused and really need to clear my confusion.
When "that" and "where" both can be used to refer to a location as GMATNinja also pointed above, then why they cannot be parallel??

NT freight infrastructure funding announced
Posted by Ian Ackerman | 14th January, 2021
THE FEDERAL government announced funding for the Northern Territory's Gas Industry Roads Upgrades program, funded through the Roads of Strategic Importance (ROSI) initiative.
The total of $217 million funding builds on more than $219 million committed to Northern Territory roads in the 2020–21 Federal Budget and the 2020 COVID-19 Stimulus Package, which will also benefit the development of the gas industry in the territory.
Funding will also include a $325,000 study for the development a multimodal facility and rail terminal in the Northern Territory to meet the current and future growth needs of Tennant Creek and the Barkly region.
The study will explore the feasibility and options for proceeding with the multimodal facility through the investigation of land constraints, infrastructure needs (road and essential services) necessary for the
facility and the site for a rail freight terminal for the future Mt Isa to Tennant Creek rail link to meet the needs of the surrounding region.
The facility has scope to provide opportunities for industrial and logistics support for expansion of the agriculture, pastoral, mining and other industries and improved, interconnectivity to the future Mt Isa to Tennant Creek rail, existing Adelaide to Darwin rail and the Stuart Highway and Barkly Highway.
The development study is expected to commence in early 2021 and be completed by the end of 2021.
Minister for infrastructure Deputy Prime Minister Michael McCormack said the project demonstrates the Australian government's commitment to improving the road network in regional, rural and remote parts of the territory.
"The Australian government has committed to substantial investments in infrastructure that will support the Beetaloo development, as well as directly benefit local communities, industry and pastoralists," Mr McCormack said.
"Across Australia, we continue to roll out these types of major projects which lay the economic foundations for our recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and to enable the development of local industry, economic growth and job opportunities well into the future."
Assistant minister for road safety and freight transport Scott Buchholz said the Australian government is investing $4.6 billion in the ROSI initiative to better connect regional businesses to local and international markets, as well as better linking regional communities.
"ROSI is all about ensuring our key freight roads efficiently connect agricultural and mining regions to ports, airports and other transport hubs," he said.
"This initiative delivers works such as road sealing, flood immunity, strengthening and widening, pavement rehabilitation, bridge and culvert upgrades and road realignments."
Northern Territory minister for infrastructure, planning and logistics Eva Lawler said the road upgrades will open up economic opportunities for the Northern Territory.
"Reliable supply chains are crucial for growing the territory's economy by attracting new economic development and supporting our existing industries to grow in remote and regional areas. This investment will help make sure the Territory is Australia's comeback capital," she said.
Federal minister for resources, water and northern Australia Keith Pitt said the investment will help open up one of the regions identified through the Strategic Basin Plan for a gas-led recovery.
"The basin has the potential to transform the Northern Territory's economy, creating thousands of jobs and supply Australia's gas demand for decades to come," Mr Pitt said.
"These roads upgrades will provide quality infrastructure to support gas development and other industries in and around the Beetaloo Sub-basin. This will support industry and business by providing more reliable freight links that will reduce the cost of doing business."
Senator for the Northern Territory Dr Sam McMahon said the project will help better connect regional businesses to local and international markets as well as forge stronger links between regional communities.
"With the Northern Territory being a prosperous but vast landscape, these vital road corridors are integral to our regional and remote communities and this further funding is only going to see them thrive well into the future," Dr McMahon said.

Moon and Jupiter
Moonscapes
Two views of the surface of Ganymede, the largest moon of Jupiter, show sets of parallel ridges and grooves, impact craters, and other features. The grooved terrain probably is younger than the surrounding landscape, which contains more craters. A possible global ocean of liquid water may be hidden deep below the big moon's icy crust. These images were snapped by Voyager 2 when it flew through the Jovian system in 1979. [NASA/JPL]
The biggest moon in the solar system is bigger than the planet Mercury. It's the only moon known to generate a magnetic field. And it may have the biggest ocean in the solar system -- more water than in all of Earth's oceans combined.
Ganymede orbits the biggest planet in the solar system, Jupiter. The planet looks like a brilliant star just below our own moon this evening. Binoculars reveal Ganymede and three other Jovian moons, which look like tiny stars near the planet.
The surface of Ganymede is ancient -- about a third of it appears to be at least four billion years old. It's dark, and covered by old craters. The rest of the surface is a bit younger and lighter, and is marked by long cliffs and grooves.
But Ganymede's most interesting feature lies far below the surface -- a possible ocean of liquid water. It's sandwiched between the moon's icy crust and ice and rock below the ocean. It could be a habitat for life. But so far, we don't know what conditions are like in the ocean, so no one is sure how good a home it would make.
Europe is preparing a spacecraft that should reveal many details about the ocean. Known as JUICE, it's scheduled for launch in four years. It'll study a couple of other moons before entering orbit around Ganymede. From there, it will study the structure, composition, and odd surface of Ganymede -- observations that will reveal much more about the possible giant ocean in this giant moon.

Perhaps you love herbal remedies and want to spread the good word to other people about their benefits. Even if you plan to sell online, you should get certified as an herbalist before attempting to instruct or educate others.
People can suffer ill effects of herbs that haven't been properly reviewed for their individual circumstances. Earning accreditation from an organization such as the American Herbalists Guild can give your new clients confidence in your abilities and help you make educated suggestions for them.
If you haven't taken this step before starting an herbal business, consider it your first stop before you delve into deeper issues.
Once you've gotten a professional certification, think about how you plan to serve others with your herbal business. Do you simply plan to run an online herbal business and sell products to customers?
Do you see yourself speaking at events, blogging, or even writing books on the subject? Or perhaps you have land and would like to farm and sell your own herbs.
These are all lucrative ideas that could work for you depending on your time, interests, and financial situation. Remember to weigh the pros and cons of each one and figure out how long it could take before you see a financial return.
For example, if you plan to include herbal farming in your venture, consider what type of supplies you'll need and how soon before your plants are ready to harvest.
Planning for additional ventures that support your online herbal shops can take extra work, but it gets easier if you iron it out early on.
If you're running herbal shops online, having a dedicated source where you get your supply from is important. You'll need to select one that's reliable and easy to purchase from so you can get your customers everything they need.
If you're not planning on growing an herbal farm, consider other ways that you can procure herbs easily. These could include farmers near your area or other herbal stores that allow you to purchase in bulk.
If part of your business includes remaining conscious of the environment, try to source as many items as possible from local or nearby companies. This could be a major selling point for your customers too, especially if your source from a highly in-demand area.
Labeling herbs is incredibly important. As mentioned earlier, some people can not have certain herbs because of health conditions or needs.
Ensure you're reviewing all herbs before drying, distilling, grinding or bottling to avoid reactions or other problems. Even if you turn your herbs into essential oils, it's still crucial to have everything clearly labeled.
Although herbs get used in a manner similar to medicine, they are not the same as conventional modern medicine and must get handled in the correct manner. Take time to review guidelines and stay in compliance with FDA standards.
This can keep you from running into legal issues related to your herbal business so you don't get shut down.
You can utilize various methods to make the most of your marketing experience. This can include social media, which reaches a lot of people at low to no cost, or more traditional marketing methods, such as promotional items, appearances at networking events, and blogging with search engine optimization.
As you create your marketing plan, you'll find it's important to have money to get the word out. If you need help getting started consider payday loans online same day to ensure you have the money you need.
Once you've begun your marketing efforts you can reward customers who are frequent shoppers.
Give them a percentage off after they buy from you a certain amount of times. Offer a referral program, and encourage them to have their friends shop with you. This encourages them to come back frequently.
Creating an online herbal store is a venture that doesn't happen overnight. In order to present customers with quality product and the knowledge they're looking for, your business will take time to get off the ground.
Once it does, you can enjoy the benefits of running herbal shops online and helping various people attend to their herbal needs.

When all we have is bunch of curious questions without answers.
Why were humans given the ability to reason and yet it's dogs that seem to have the best life!!
Gosh, Neha – a list of totally unanswerable questions ! All of 'em pondered over for an awful long time, but no-one able to come up wit satisfactory answers. Goodonyermate !
Awww you are too sweet M-R. On a serious side, we humans are so cocky about our achievements, yet when we compare "what we know" to the grand scheme of affairs, we know so little. Who are we to compete with God when we don't even know our own origin?
I am of a curious nature, can't help it, and yes, I have way more questions than answers. I love watching documentary programs about life, the universe, spiritual things… it's good exercise for my mind. 😉 Loved your post!

Study: Toxic PFAS chemical plume detected in Green Bay
By John Flesher, AP Environmental Writer
A large plume of toxic chemicals produced by a plant that manufactures firefighting foam has seeped through groundwater to Lake Michigan's Green Bay, scientists said Tuesday.
The chemicals belong to a family of compounds known as PFAS, or per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, which are used widely in consumer products ranging from nonstick cookware and water-repellent sports gear to stain-resistent carpets. They're also a key ingredient in fire-extinguishing foams. They can accumulate and persist in the human body for long periods, and exposure may lead to cancer and other health problems.
Groundwater and streams near the Tyco Fire Products in Marinette, Wisconsin, are contaminated with foam from the plant's testing facility.
University of Wisconsin researchers have traced movement of the chemicals in nearby groundwater and streams. In a report published last week, they said a plume had made its way into Green Bay, which extends 120 miles (193 kilometers) along northeastern Wisconsin and the south coast of Michigan's Upper Peninsula.
Water samples suggest the plume is about 2.49 miles (4 kilometers) wide but it's unknown how far it extends along the bay, said Christy Remucal, associate professor of civil and environmental engineering.
"A lot of PFAS from that source is going into Lake Michigan and it will be hard to contain," Remucal said in an interview Tuesday. "It's really dispersed, hard to capture and treat."
Scientists detected 17 different PFAS chemicals in the bay, one of the largest on the Great Lakes. Thousands of different PFAS compounds have been manufactured since the 1940s.
Water samples taken along the shoreline in the Marinette area found PFAS concentrations of 250 parts per trillion — much higher than levels detected in a previous study of rivers flowing into the bay, Remucal said.
They also far exceed the 70 parts per trillion that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency had established as a drinking water health risk threshold for two common PFAS compounds, known as PFOS and PFOA. The agency last June issued new guidelines setting the trigger at near zero, saying the chemicals are dangerous even at undetectable levels.
Remucal and colleague Sarah Balgooyen used a chemical fingerprinting technique to trace the Green Bay PFAS to the Tyco facility.
Wisconsin's attorney general last year sued Tyco and Johnson Controls, with which it merged in 2016, over PFAS contamination in the Marinette area.
Tyco said in a statement Tuesday it welcomed the Green Bay study, which was funded by the Wisconsin Sea Grant College Program, and that it had invested "tens of millions of dollars" to address the Marinette pollution. Those efforts include an "expansive" groundwater treatment system, soil excavation and working to deliver "long-term drinking water solutions" in the area.
PFAS compounds have been found in all five Great Lakes — Erie, Huron, Michigan, Ontario and Superior. They don't degrade naturally in the environment and move freely in water, unlike contaminants such as PCBs that stick in sediments, Remucal said.
Dan Jones, associate director of Michigan State University's Center for PFAS Research, said the findings were significant because they're based on a greater variety of compounds than most PFAS projects.
"We don't always measure things as extensively as this group has," Jones said, adding that the study was unusually thorough in tracing the pollution from its source through streams, groundwater and Green Bay.
Much remains unknown about how PFAS chemicals affect Great Lakes fish, a topic the Michigan State center is exploring, Jones said.
"We know that these compounds get taken up by things that live in the lakes … including particular fish that we humans consume," he said. "But we don't really know as much as we'd like to about which fish they accumulate in and why, and whether it's different for different compounds."

Co-translated with Clarissa Ghelli. The dead are coming back to life. One by one. They're coming back from the nineteenth century, from the Renaissance, even from prehistoric times. At first they present no threat. They're just like us. They are coming back into the world as lost and ravenous as when they were first born. But what will happen to the living? How can the world handle the masses of people?
Dr. Adriano Karaianni leads us through this drama of the undead. In spare, quick prose, Giacomo Papi describes the tenacity and ferocity of mankind when condemned to endless life. The story is a complex reflection on the meaning of existence, the connection between the world of the living and the dead, and love, which proves to be the only force capable of saving our humanity.
