In this opening keynote address, Daniel will draw on his extensive experience to set the agenda for the day – articulating why funding advocacy and community networks needs to be an important focus of philanthropy.
Building on the opening keynote address by Daniel Lee, this panel discussion will explore some of the themes he raises in more depth.
Given challenges such as growing inequality, the decline of independent media and increasing distrust in government and other institutions, the session will examine why the time is right to explore how funding advocacy and efforts to influence policy can deliver impact at scale.
Charities law in Australia recognises the value of advocacy as a tool for achieving impact.
This practical session, presented by one of Australia's top charity lawyers, will explore what the law says about philanthropy funding advocacy and efforts to influence policy.
It will include discussion of examples and case studies to illustrate what is possible.
Building a more prosperous, sustainable and inclusive Australia means we need to lift the quality of public policy.
Better public policy needs advocates. Paradoxically, advocating for changes that will benefit a broad range of people can be a lonely activity. The broader public interest often lacks the support attracted by well-resourced interest groups, as theories of political economy explain. In fields including health, housing, energy, and tax, there are often few advocates for key policy changes that would benefit most Australians.
In this session, one of Australia's leading public policy thinkers will explore why the broader public interest often has few friends, and what philanthropy can do about it.
Two big campaigns that will shape Australia's future are currently underway – recognition of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders people in the Australian Constitution, and achieving marriage equality.
These campaigns will be front and centre in in our national debate over the next three years.
This session will explore why they are important and what approaches leaders from each of the campaigns are adopting to shape public opinion in support of these important issues.
Philanthropy in Australia is funding some exciting and diverse initiatives that involve using advocacy to achieve impact.
This session will focus on profiling four case studies, covering different cause areas and approaches.


Location is the best area and close walk to Sule Pagoda and night market in Chinatown. the room was OK but i do not like share bathroom and toilet in the hotel. staff is kind and helpful to guest. I give recommendation to solo traveler in Yangon.
I was stayed at 3 differences hotel in Yangon! This hotel was the worse! Not clean, poor dirty bathroom, good location!!! Of course it's cheap but other hotel I pay the same price range with so much better quality!!
At first I was hesitant bacause many people complain about Daddy Hotel, It was a simple very clean room with a lovely lavender color in a colonial building, I had no fridge or TV but a clean bed with good mattress and good linen which was perfect for me because I just wanted to sleep there. The breakfast I liked and if you are patient they bring out more and more and those that complain are crazy because the price is so so cheap it is amazing that they throw in breakfast too. Ok outside the back of the hotel is not so clean but the surroundings of even 5 star hotels in Rangoon is often not clean in the downtown area and those wanting clean surroundings should not stay downtown where all the action is but stay in a clean quiet suburb of Rangoon where there are many hotels too. I have been to Rangoon dozens of times over the years and stayed at many hotels and if you want somewhere very nice but very cheap then Daddy's Home is the best choice and if you do not like it then there are better hotels but the problem is they cost more than double easily. Surprisingly they also gave me bottles of spring water and a hair-dryer and let me borrow various things like phone charger (forgot it again!) and let me use their dining room to eat my takeaway biriyani and their kitchen to make my cocktails (Mandalay Rum, Sugar Cane juice and Lemon) from ingredients I bought in the supermarket for 2$ (yes top quality Myanmar Rum is only 1US$ a litre) Bottom line is if you are on a budget but want something better than the bug infested guest houses down town then cheak out Daddy's Home for a real Rangoon Downtown home from home.
No windows, dreadful breakfast, not very helpful or flexible staff.
Hotel location is good. Value for money. Staff is friendly.
the flights of steps are steep. lowest floor is 3rd floor. reception is smelly toilets dirty walls are stained, and breakfast service v basic and poor. kitchen is filthy. no one cleans the aircon and it emits a mouldy smell. looking out of the building you can see the foot high garbage rats and cockroach infested collected in the long alleyway of the adjacent building.
My stay at Daddy's home was slightly below average. The rooms were not the cleanest upon arrival, and the air condintioners were full of mold. After my 2 night stay at the hotel I realized that I had been bitten by some type of bug or bugs all over my back. I will say that the staff was friendly and willing to help me out with any of my request that I had.
Hair dryer provided in the room. I need it as I went during the raining season in July.
Just fine with the value of money I paid.
One of the most memorable places I stayed in. Not in the positive way. Rain water gets into the building and the hallway becomes slippery and the staff did not bother to mop the floor or get them dry for 2 days! The AC never worked, ever! The room is damp (not just because of the rains) due to the AC dripping on one of the two beds. The WIFI hardly works. And worst, while I was waiting for my ride to the train station, I was surfing the net at the lobby. Since I already checked out, the lady counter staff switched off the wifi router (I saw her do it as the router is just on the top of the counter). She was so rude! Will never return back to this hotel even if it is for free!

By Rootstrap February 25, 2019
This year marks Rootstrap's 8-year anniversary.
A lot has changed in that time.
For one, we weren't always called Rootstrap: the first iteration of our agency business was Neon Roots.
NR was born scrappy. We started out as 3 engineers, 2 MacBook Minis, and one client.
But we were determined to be great. And since those fateful days, this agency has gone through a lot of changes. We've changed our name, changed our service offerings, and changed our size. Those 3 engineers are now a team of over 85 employees across 3 continents.
We've also changed our look.
Looking back through the iterations of our websites is almost a visual history of web design, and certainly of how our agency grew through the years. As we built our skills, built our client base, and grew, the designs got more advanced, more complex, and more daring. As did our company.
But it all started back in 2012 – with little more than a simple Flash site showcasing our clients and our services.
NR1: An Agency Is Born
While Neon Roots officially started in 2011, it was in 2012 that we launched our first hi-fi website. At the time, much of our work focused on games and emerging tech like augmented reality, so we wanted a website that conveyed both interactivity and forward-thinking design. To achieve that, we borrowed a design vocabulary that anyone would instantly recognize and carried those same connotations: the PlayStation.
We also featured plenty of warm, sunset-hued colors to keep the site visually pleasing:
NR1.5: Remember the PlayStation
It wasn't long before we started to move the site in a more complex direction. In 2013, we redesigned and relaunched a second iteration of the PlayStation design.
Again, we wanted to present ourselves as a young, forward-thinking dev shop that created cutting-edge experiences. The site design focused on blending organic and digital aesthetics, partially reflecting our experience in AR – – we even got nominated for an Awwward for this design.
On another note, look at those colors. Our branding has changed a lot over the years, and in comparison to our current brand template, it's nostalgic to see all those shades of rose and purple.
Our case studies were less minimalist, throwing a lot more elements on the page:
NR2: Ah, the Sidescroller
The second major iteration of our website dropped the PlayStation theme and made another big change to the layout of the site: instead of a vertical website, NR2 used a horizontal orientation.
Horizontal websites are few and far between today, but back around 2014 when we launched NR2, they were much more common. To be honest, it's a matter of trend more than anything else – although we do tend to prefer vertical websites ourselves.
NR2 used a similar color palette to previous iterations, with muted sunset colors and prominent pinks. It also featured much more imagery, and it put our augmented reality work front and center:
As is always important, we wanted to quickly and easily educate users on how to use the site. Hence the prompts to swipe, use arrow keys, or use the mouse wheel to access different parts of the site.
Another interesting tidbit from NR2 is its introduction of Storycarding Services – the primordial first ancestor to what is now our Discovery service.
Unfortunately the specific elements on this page are lost to history – but it's interesting to see the very beginnings of what would eventually split into its own company, and in the end, come to define our brand.
This site, however, was short-lived. Even while these bold primary colors were live, we were hard at work on a new iteration of our site.
One that would make a significant departure from our past aesthetic.
NR3: Changing the Tone
Similar to the PlayStation design, we wanted the next iteration to position us as cutting-edge and forward-thinking. We were ahead of the game in things like AR and responsive design, and we wanted our site to showcase that.
As always, it started with rough ideas. Take a look at some of our early wireframe sketches:
But the final designs represented a major tonal change. The next iteration of our website – NR3 – dialed colors back to nearly zero in favor of an ultra-sleek, dark-toned landscape. Here's what the homepage looked like when it went live in 2015:
And how we refined it with the v2:
This was a break from our older styling. While our past websites featured multichromatic palettes, NR3 distilled and focused our branding. We kept almost everything in grayscale, relying on a futuristic shade of green to make key elements pop.
We also upped the game with moving parts. NR3 featured a number of animated elements designed to feel like the future:
https://www.rootstrap.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/N2015-NR3-Perform-Gif.mp4
NR3 was probably the most significant redesign of the Neon Roots website, and the core branding vocabulary stayed constant for the rest of the company's existence. But around the same time that we built NR3, we launched a new core element of our business: Rootstrap.
RS1: Let's Get Your Online Business Off the Ground
Rootstrap started as a silo agency for the service offering that we now call Discovery. It was a pre-development product workshop that sought to hone the concept of a digital product, validate the idea in the marketplace, and create a clear roadmap towards a full development engagement.
In the beginning, both the workshop and the new company were called Rootstrap. Neon Roots and Rootstrap were sister companies that existed alongside each other: clients would go through the Rootstrap workshop, then move to Neon Roots for development.
In comparison to Neon Roots, Rootstrap's branding was light, energetic, and playful. This was by design.
Most Rootstrap clients were first-time founders, many of them non-technical. We didn't want to intimidate then with a flashy, souped-up design aesthetic. The goal of the site was to make starting a business or building a digital product seem achievable and to make us seem approachable to anyone.
Cool, easy-going blues, clean whites, and a DIY-inspired logo in approachable yellow. All intended to seem warm and welcoming.
This was also around the time that clean, stylized iconography came to dominate the digital design landscape. Again, we employed it with the goal of feeling approachable to anyone:
As Rootstrap grew, we continued with an illustration-inspired design aesthetic, but we started moving the brand more in a more sophisticated direction.
We also started to update our color palette:
This light, playful design aesthetic continued into the next iteration:
At this point, Rootstrap was cooking with gas (take a look at that total money raised figure above) and Neon Roots was growing fast.
And in 2016, we released the next – and final – iteration of the NR website.
NR5: Ushering in a New Era
NR5 was another complete redesign of the website, and this time we took the gloves off.
We worked with an awesome, out-there designer who helped us push our creative design chops to the max. We went as futuristic as possible, adopting a kind of hacker-from-2030 design vocabulary.
We also incorporated more movement into the design, using skipping, jumping gifs and text that glitched out periodically:
https://www.rootstrap.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/N2016-NR5-text-glitch.mp4
We pulled out all the stops for NR5, and to be honest, we're still proud of that website. But shortly after the launch of the site, everything changed: Neon Roots, Rootstrap, and our partner agency TopTier Labs all merged under the Rootstrap banner.
And that, once again, called for a redesign.
RS2: Bringing It All Together
With all of our companies, products, and services now united under a single banner, we needed to iterate the brand to synthesize what had been separate aesthetics.
The result was RS2: a new version of the Rootstrap site, now representing both our Roadmapping and agency business, that blended the Neon Roots future-minimalist aesthetic with the color and approachability of Rootstrap.
We redesigned the Rootstrap logo to be more modern and sleek, also representing the upward trajectory of startups we work with. We took a more abstract approach to the layout, and we also got a little more absurd in our imagery. Take a look at our contact section:
At this point, we also had some impressive statistics under our belt, so we based many design elements around social proof:
RS_Next: Our Brand and Its Future
While our site has gone through some tweaking since the last major redesign, we're still working with the same overall design aesthetic. Here's our current homepage, in all its glory:
But that's changing soon.
We're hard at work on RS3.0: A full redesign of our site aimed to convey the current state of our company, our brand, and our philosophy.
It's still in the ideation stages and we can't share anything yet – but we can already see that it's going to be something special.
Looking back on the past 8 years, we've gone through iteration after iteration of our website, our brand, and our company as a whole. And it begs the question: why all the change?
If there's one thing I've learned after nearly a decade in the agency business, it's that change is the only constant. Design is always changing, markets are always changing, the world is always, always changing. It has to change.
We constantly tell clients that the day they stop designing and evolving their product is the beginning of the end. In this business, it's innovate or die. As you can see from this history, we've had to change our designs sometimes multiple times in a single year to stay competitive and keep ourselves on the bleeding edge. Because that's where we have to be – we have to be the gold standard when it comes to best design and dev practices, period. If we aren't that, we're dead.
We've come a long way in the past 8 years, and looking back, we're damn proud of our continued commitment to reinventing ourselves, thinking one step ahead, and never accepting complacency. But as far as we've come, it's nothing compared to where we're headed.
And we're beyond excited for what's to come.

A: This is normally specified in the file /etc/bash.bashrc on Ubuntu systems. The environment variable $PS1 sets the values of the shell prompt. This is Ubuntu's default prompt:
PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\u@\h:\w\$ '

Copy that line in your /etc/bash.bashrc (maybe it is already there, but commented). However, after that, open a new bash process and your prompt should be set again.

The label for the 2014 vintage of Mouton Rothschild has just been unveiled. In the year of the death of the figurehead owner, Philippine de Rothschild, it was a personal friend of the family, David Hockney, who designed the 69th Mouton-Rothschild label, bearing this message: « in tribute to Philippine ».
The Mouton labels
In 1924, the year in which Baron Philippe de Rothschild bottled his first vintage at the château, he decided to call upon the graphic designer Jean Carlu to create a special label. It met with a mixed reception, and so it was back to normal for Mouton… until 1945.
To celebrate the liberation of France, the Baron decided to embellish his bottles with a V for Victory. The 1945 vintage was exceptional in more ways than one, and immediately became a collector's edition. Since then, the label has changed every year, with a succession of great artists being represented: Picasso, Prince Charles, Soulages, Jeff Koons, Dali and even Warhol.
The design of the 2014 label was entrusted to the British artist David Hockney. Just like his friend Philippine de Rothschild, David Hockney is a colourful personality. In 1990, he declined a knighthood and an offer to paint the Queen. However, she doesn't appear to have held it against him, as he was awarded an Order of Merit in 2012 and selected to produce a stained-glass window of Elizabeth II's reign in Westminster Abbey.
In 2017, to mark his 80th birthday, an exhibition will span his exceptional career at London's Tate Britain gallery from February to May. There'll also be a chance to view his work at the Centre Pompidou in Paris before the collection is shown at New York's Metropolitan Museum.
The 2014 vintage
2014 will forever be remembered as the year of the death of Philippine de Rothschild, a formidable Mouton ambassador. An actress at the Comédie française under the pseudonym of Philippine Pascal,
she embodied this Pauillac premier cru classé, which enjoys a relationship with art unmatched by any other Médoc cru. Her friend David Hockney, with his pop art background, paid her a final tribute in the form of this joyous, colourful work. It depicts two glasses – one empty and one full, illustrating the nervous wait for the annual miracle of the harvest and the creation of the grand vin.
2014 was characterised by a very damp summer and fairly low levels of sunshine. However, the year was saved by an exceptional Indian summer, which allowed the grapes to reach perfect maturity. Those who have had a chance to sample the wine speak of a superb Mouton, for drinking between 2020 and 2040… so you'll need to stay patient for a little while longer yet.
53 Moutons together in one lot
What better way of looking back at Mouton's history than to bring together 53 different years and 53 different labels? So a word to the wise. This unique lot, representing the space where art and wine meet, is on auction at iDealwine until 30th November…

Defying defeat
Bronwen Mehta
Political prisoner Alaa Abd El-Fattah's collection of writings are a powerful and evocative reminder that democracy in Egypt remains a bleak prospect.

Activist, software developer, and devoted father Alaa Abd El-Fattah became a vital force of the 2011 Egyptian Revolution after he brought his many years of experience protesting and challenging Hosni Mubarak's regime to the Tahrir Square protests. Having established himself within the radical, free speech vanguard of the Egyptian blogosphere, he was arrested in 2006 for demanding judicial independence. Egypt's courts are notoriously partisan and pro-dictatorship, and this was the first of many such arrests. In 2011, Alaa was among a group of political bloggers who created an online space to organize against and challenge the Mubarak dictatorship. After the toppling of Mubarak in February 2011, Alaa was active in speaking out against the military junta, which led to him being summoned to Cairo's C28, the headquarters of the military prosecutors. He was arrested and charged with inciting violence.
Over the past decade, he has been in and out of detention on an array of spurious charges, suffering abhorrent conditions and countless rights abuses. In March 2019, Alaa was released under restrictive probation requirements, but was rearrested in September 2019 in the wake of a small wave of protests in Egypt. In this time, he has witnessed the arrests and releases of both of his sisters, as well as experiencing the birth of his son, Khaled, and the passing of his father, human rights attorney Ahmed Seif El-Islam. In December 2021, Alaa was charged with producing "false news undermining national security" and sentenced to five more years. In April 2022, Alaa started a hunger strike that has now surpassed 200 days. Around the same time, Alaa was also granted British citizenship while in prison through his mother, Laila Soueif, who was born in London. While this allows the #FreeAlaa campaign to put pressure on the UK government, Alaa still remains in detention at the time of this writing.
Egypt has been under Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi's leadership for ten years, and the authoritarian regime continues to be upheld with an iron fist. In 2019, Sissi won a constitutional referendum that expanded his executive powers and dramatically extended his term in office until 2030. Human rights organizations have condemned the regime's excessive use of censorship, violence, and imprisonment, including against peaceful critics such as human rights lawyers Ezzat Ghoneim and Mohamed El-Baker. Sissi's government has weaponized a narrative of continuous national security threats to justify an ongoing crackdown on civil liberties. Concurrently, Egypt suffers from desperately high rates of poverty, which, according to the World Bank, are on the rise and are exacerbated by a currency declining in value against the dollar. Despite these economic pressures, the regime is pushing forward with large scale infrastructure projects such as the New Administrative Capital and the building of a commercial strip on the Nile in the heart of Cairo. There is evidence of some underlying discontent with current sociopolitical realities, as demonstrated by protests in September 2019. However, as a result of the strangulation of civil society, there remains a dearth of viable alternatives to the current regime. As such, prospects for democracy remain bleak.
In the last year, a team of unnamed editors selected and translated interviews, articles, tweets, notes, and letters by Alaa to publish a book titled You Have Not Yet Been Defeated. The 400-page book is made up of 59 chapters. In addition to their brief introduction, the editors add commentary throughout the collection that helps to situate the reader and offers a desperate plea for support from his family. Complementing the editors' introduction, activist, author, and filmmaker Naomi Klein speaks powerfully and emotionally about her relationship to Alaa in her foreword. Klein writes that the strength of this collection comes in part from the remarkable difficulties that were overcome to create it, since many of the essays had been smuggled out of prison.
Starting with the aftermath of the 2011 revolution, You Have Not Yet Been Defeated traverses a decade. As times and circumstances change, Alaa's perspective is altered in profound ways. The collection explores the brief period of democratically elected president Mohammed Morsi's rule, which ended with his removal after a coup. The many specificities of the Egyptian context are brought to the fore for an international audience as Alaa hones in on some of the most consequential moments in the past decade, including Maspero, in which a peaceful Coptic protest in 2011 was attacked by the state, killing 24; the 2013 Rabaa Massacre, when security forces raided a camp of Morsi supporters on Sissi's command, killing over 800; and the Abu Zaabal deaths, in which police officers killed 37 prisoners by firing a tear gas canister into a packed and overheated prisoner transport van.
A talented orator and writer, Alaa uses language deliberately and powerfully, weaving in metaphor, prayer, odes to lost comrades, and the reinterpretation of revolutionary slogans to build a rich literary tapestry. The collection also includes some poignant verses from poet, activist, and fellow inmate Ahmad Douma. The book offers snapshots into Alaa's thinking on a vast array of topics, together producing a rich piece of contemporary philosophy that grapples with many of society's most pressing questions. Through this collection, Alaa confronts climate change, the occupation of Palestine, the global economic system, Egypt's future, and the future of democracy more generally. In doing so, he presents a compelling case that all the current political, economic, social, and ecological crises faced across the world are inherently linked. Building upon this universality, the core of this book is a call to action: for us to creatively reimagine our ambitions and build the necessary broad coalitions to strive for a more equitable future.
Alaa's narration reveals the devastation that the family members of the departed have experienced: the procedural coldness as well as the dehumanizing impact of violent policies. These accounts, usually hidden from the public eye, challenge the propagandist state and media versions of events that deny and obfuscate regime wrongdoing, in addition to acting as a reclamation of the narratives of Egypt's recent history. From the ruins left by these watershed moments, Alaa ponders how our society needs to change to first respond to these injustices, and then to prevent their recurrence. While many of the practicalities that Alaa offers to achieve a more just society evolve throughout the collection, pursuing accountability and justice for Rabaa, Maspero, and Abu Zaabal remain a constant demand.
As time passes, and Morsi's volatile leadership crumbles and is replaced by security-oriented repression under Sissi, the collection captures Alaa coming to terms with the failure of the revolution. Reconfiguring the future again and asking what it should look like, he grows to accept that Sissi's regime may not be ended by revolutionary means. He offers honest reflections on why the revolution failed: the naivety of those who committed themselves to the Tahrir Square protests; the ideological, religious, and class divisions within Egypt; the insidiousness, strength, and adaptability of the regime's tentacles stemming out of Mubarak's era.
Alongside disappointment and despair, however, he presents a treatise to achieve effective and substantive change in Egypt. Unity, he insists, is the most significant building block within this effort. Consistently challenging the divisions that segment Egyptian society, Alaa advocates for a common humanity that promotes a diversity of views and experiences. It is this ability to include all in his vision for the future that allows Alaa to compassionately call for justice for the victims of Rabaa while criticizing the violent excesses of Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood. His conceptualization of unity is deeply rooted in the togetherness and uncontained potential that Alaa experienced in Tahrir Square. Throughout the collection, he speaks of the "square" as the amalgamation of imaginings and hopes of those present, referring to something both physically bounded and metaphysically unlimited. His prescriptions, therefore, come from at once holding onto the beauty and purity of these memories, while also learning from the pragmatic constraints that condemned them.
While much of the focus is placed on Egypt, this collection is truly internationalist at heart. Alaa draws upon inspiration from South Africa, Tunisia, and Palestine to show the interdependence between political struggles. Palestine in particular resonates with Alaa on a personal and emotional level. After journeying to Gaza and thinking through many of his misconceptions, he continually returns to Palestine in his imagination by visiting its beaches and streets while trapped in a prison cell. Though solidarity with the Palestinian cause is indeed romanticized, it also is something that is instinctual and reflexive for Alaa.
From the depths of his incarceration, Alaa advocates for democracies around the world to be buttressed and protected without being subsumed by either neo-imperial efforts or consumerism. Alaa makes several direct calls to action to pro-democracy factions across the world. In the 2017 letter that gives this collection its title, Alaa addresses RightsCon, stating, "Unlike me, you have not yet been defeated." Moreover, he repeatedly expresses finding power, strength, and purpose in working-class movements. For example, in his thoughtful critique of Uber and the Silicon Valley financing model, he presents an economic ideology that insists upon labor representation in technological development. In his view, the world is not going to be saved by tech billionaires like Elon Musk or Bill Gates; the responsibility is instead on publics to mobilize and organize. Championing the demands of the people against the interests of the economic elite also comes into play in the chapter titled, "The Weight of the World," which addresses climate change. Alaa argues that to generate purposeful and actionable solutions, we cannot just be united by the threat of impending crisis, and instead need to "meet around a hope in a better future, a future where we put an end to all forms of inequality."
Many of these essays were smuggled out of prison. Alaa wrote in his cell while exposing, in stark terms, the horrors that he witnessed and experienced in Egypt's detention infrastructure. He criticizes the world's fleeting attention to the treatment of prisoners and makes explicit demands for carceral reform. Alaa describes how the carceral institution slowly degrades will, fosters hate, and impacts the ability to express oneself. Prisons are a space of isolation and desperation, compounded by the already insufficient healthcare and visitations quota during the COVID-19 pandemic. Making a radical and globally transferable case for abolition, Alaa laments the depressing reality that this is a distant dream; we currently cannot even imagine a world where the victims of crimes are not the ones being arrested.
Alaa's deeply personal writing is powerful. He listens and engages with everyone in his vicinity, from fellow prisoners to political opponents, showing that inclusion is not just a political project but a personal practice. It is also evident that his family, and particularly his son, are the focus of his pain, joy, fear, and love. The birth of Khaled inspires Alaa, the father, to evocatively write: "Love is Khaled and sorrow is Khaled and the square is Khaled and the martyr is Khaled and the country is Khaled."
Alaa also writes about his relationship with his own father, Ahmed Seif El-Islam, a revolutionary of the previous era who trained to become a lawyer while in prison and spent his life fighting for human rights. Alaa includes cheery anecdotes from childhood while also reflecting on his father's incarceration at significant points in the family's life, such as during the birth of his sister, Mona. Alaa frames his time spent incarcerated as a form of intergenerational trauma passed on by his father. He describes being imprisoned as an "inheritance" that creates a sense of inevitability. Alaa's desire to emulate the bravery and wisdom of his father radiates from the pages.
Tackling struggles from the personal to the global, Alaa's ability to reflect in an accessible and compelling way means that this collection promises to inspire and solidify revolutionary spirit, democratic projects, and abolition movements across geographical boundaries.

Republicans Block No-Confidence Vote on Gonzales Senate Republicans have blocked a no-confidence vote in Attorney General Alberto Gonzales. Although none of them came to Gonzales' defense, they argued that it's not the Senate's job to pass judgment on the president's Cabinet officers. Members of both parties say they are worried that Gonzales helped politicize the Justice Department.
Inquiry into Fired U.S. Attorneys
Republicans Block No-Confidence Vote on Gonzales
June 11, 20074:00 PM ET
Heard on All Things Considered
Republicans have blocked a no-confidence resolution on Attorney General Alberto Gonzales. The Senate took a procedural vote that fell seven votes short of the 60 needed to cut off a filibuster on the measure.
But the cloture vote did show that more than 50 percent of senators favor rebuking Gonzales.
Both Republicans and Democrats in Congress have criticized the attorney general for the way he handled the firings of nine U.S. attorneys. But Senate Republicans dismissed the no-confidence measure as a Democratic political ploy and stopped it from coming to a vote.
Mississippi Republican Trent Lott said the measure is beneath the dignity of the Senate.
"How low will the Senate go?" Lott asked. "If we get into this for hours or days, pity how much it's going to debase this institution even further."
But Rhode Island Democrat Sheldon Whitehouse said the Senate needs to do whatever it can to make its voice heard.
"It may take a decade to repair the damage that Attorney General Gonzales has caused," Whitehouse said.
Several Senate Republicans have called for Gonzales to resign; a number have criticized his leadership.

Here's How Kylie Jenner's Perception Of Beauty Has Changed Since Having Stormi
By Kali Borovic
From having a baby to turning 21, there have been plenty of Jenner-centered milestones in 2018. While people freaked out after she left social media for six months, the year has had an even bigger impact on her. According to her September Vogue Australia interview, Kylie Jenner's perception of beauty has changed since having Stormi. She's embracing her natural body more than ever — and, no, it's not about her lips.
In her recent interview with Vogue, Jenner opened up to her big sister about everything from Lip Kits to her living situation. But the biggest shocker, besides her wearing gym shorts on the cover, was how she feels about beauty. According to the 21-year-old, she loves herself more than ever.
"I feel like having a daughter, and thinking about beauty in the future, has definitely changed me, and I feel like it has made me love myself more and accept everything about me," Jenner says in the Vogue interview.
"Even my ears, I always felt like they stuck out too far, and she [Stormi] has the same ears as me and so now I love my ears. It's just having a different outlook on life so I can pass that on to her. I want to be an example for her. What kind of example would I be if she said she didn't like her ears, and then I didn't like them either? I just want to teach her that. I'm trying to love myself more."
Her cover reflects her comments, too. She wore minimal makeup for every single one of the Vogue photoshoots. And, although she talks about never leaving the house without makeup in the interview, it looks like she doesn't even have lipstick on.
The September Issue comes just weeks after Jenner announced that she had gotten rid of all of her fillers — including the temporary lip fillers that she got in 2015.
In July, the Lip Kit queen posted a series of photos with one of her friends. After Instagram user haleithorn commented, "she looks like the old kylie [sic] here idk why," Jenner replied, "i [sic] got rid of all my filler" with two shocked smiley faces and regular smile.
As for how her actual life has changed since having Stormi, apparently it hasn't. Jenner said in the interview that her life hasn't changed, but the way she looks as it has.
"I don't think my life has changed since becoming a mum: I think the way I look at life has changed since becoming a mum," Jenner says in the Vogue interview. "I think more of the future. I used to live each day as it came, and now I look at the future more. I actually feel like I love myself more after I had Stormi. And I'm trying to be … I mean, I'm already a positive person, but just having fun, being positive."
This is a new era for Jenner. Including the first time that she's ever been on the cover of Vogue. She won't be slowing down anytime soon.

Many will remember him for his signature voice and understated style. His career highlights include calling 16 Super Bowls, 27 Masters golf tournaments and 20 U.S. Open tennis tournaments. And few will forget his 22-year broadcast partnership with John Madden that provided commentary for some of the NFL's greatest moments.
My fondest memory of Pat took place during the Texas Travel Industry Association's annual meeting in 2002. The theme of that year's conference was sports. Pat, along with Dallas Cowboys Owner Jerry Jones, then-Cowboys running back Emmitt Smith, SportsTravel Publisher Tim Schneider and myself were all on the program. Ironically, it was the next morning that Jerry cut Emmitt loose from his 13-year career with the Cowboys. Pat's elegance and insights were awe inspiring and something I'll never forget.
As people who also work in sports media, we always strive to educate and empower with our work. Pat Summerall's passion and love of all sports helped frame so many memories for fans of all ages. And for that, he will be missed.

Reporting costs might rise
SmartCompany / Monday, September 3, 2007
The standard business reporting program that was recently released by the Federal Treasurer will offer no reduction in the amount of reporting required for small business, according to Deloitte tax partner David Pring.
Last Thursday the Federal Government announced it will spend more than $200 million over the next three years to develop a system to make it easier for business to lodge statements such as BAS online.
The standard business reporting program, scheduled to be in place by 2010, should allow business owners to use accounting software such as MYOB to automatically pre-fill government reports such as business activity statements, company income tax returns, TFN declarations and the quarterly business indicators survey.
The pilot program is set to commence in mid-2008. Stage one will be rolled out during 2010 and the expected take up will be between 2011-2013, at a cost of $208 million.
The Government estimates that the savings to businesses will be $795 million per year.
But Pring points out that it is expected that businesses will have to incur costs on advisers and software upgrades, yet the announcement has not made any estimate of what that investment will be. "Business would like to see a reduction in the amount of reporting and regulation, not just a more efficient way of doing the same level of reporting," he says.

First Living Legacy Partnership in South America
Iron Mountain announces its first ever Living Legacy Initiative partnership in South America. Through our partnership with CyArk—the non-profit which aims to digitally record, safeguard, and archive world heritage sites—Iron Mountain helped preserve the moai of Rapa Nui (more commonly known as Easter Island) in Chile. The moai statues are carved by, and honor, the ancestors and leaders of the Rapu Nui people — also known as the native Polynesians of Easter Island. For more than 800 years, the island has held about 900 statues, many of which have now been designated World Heritage sites by UNESCO.
CyArk worked with the Rapa Nui National Park in collaboration with the Mau'u Henua, the Chilean National Monuments Commissions, and the managers of the Rap Nui National Park. Many of the platforms which the moai sit on, also known as ahus, due to severe weather events, are being affected by erosion.
"Easter Island, or Rapa Nui, is home to one of humanity's most enigmatic and instantly-recognizable archaeological landscapes," said CEO of CyArk, John Ritevski. "In 2017 CyArk ventured there with the support of Iron Mountain to document a number of sites that are at risk from climate change and increasing sea levels."
Iron Mountain's Living Legacy Initiative is the company's commitment to preserve and make accessible cultural and historical information and artifacts. We support non-profit organizations, museums or other non-government associations to help protect and share information that is unknown, at-risk or not widely accessible so that both current and future generations are able to learn and benefit from it. CyArk digitally preserved and archived the monuments using photogrammetry and 3-D laser technology. The scans will allow the Rapa Nui preservation team to protect these treasures for years to come.
"Our support of CyArk and projects like Rapa Nui are the expression of Iron Mountain's philanthropic focus on, and commitment to, preserving our shared cultural heritage," said Ary Acuna, Iron Mountain's Country Manager of Chile. "Every day, all over the world, we serve as the trusted guardian for our customers' most precious assets, and we take that responsibility seriously. Our Living Legacy Initiative enables Iron Mountain to extend that trust into the communities where we live and work all over the globe, helping to ensure that our shared heritage remains preserved and protected for generations to come."
Rapa Nui sits 3500 km west of the Chilean coast and is one of the world's most isolated inhabited pieces of land. Much of the wonder of Rapa Nui revolves around how these statues were carved, raised, and moved throughout the island. The moai average 13 feet high and weigh over 14 tons, all depicting kneeling men.
CyArk assists with those that oversee cultural heritage sites by providing engineering drawings and detailed maps to assist in critical conservation work and active management. They archive the data using state of the art processes to ensure that this data continues to be available in a disaster recovery scenario, tomorrow or decades in the future. Iron Mountain provides data back-up and preservation for the "gold copy" for all of CyArk's data from digital scans in its underground storage facility. Past projects include the preservation of Lukang Longshan Temple in Taiwan; the Washington Monument in Washington, DC; the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin; and The Royal Exhibition Building in Melbourne, Australia.

[Review] Hacksaw Ridge
With Hacksaw Ridge, Mel "Maniac" Gibson delivers his first directorial effort since 2006's Apocalypto. Based on the real life of Army vet Desmond Doss, this visceral World War II film is full of conflicts and contradictions, but at its heart is a moving tale of unconventional bravery.
Early on we're introduced to a deeply Christian fellow who goes by the name of Doss (Andrew Garfield). His ear-to-ear smile practically screams "Aw shucks!" Shortly before proposing to a lovely nurse named Dorothy (Teresa Palmer), he enlists in the military as a combat medic. But there's one glaring exception: He refuses to pick up a rifle. After overcoming some litigation hurdles and enduring harsh mental and physical ridicule from his higher-ups and comrades, Doss enters the frontline to not only prove his competence, but also his unwavering heroism.
It's both glossy and gruesome. The first half wallows in melodrama with its schmaltzy love story, lit with classical Hollywood sheen. But once Doss heads off to the Battle of Okinawa, the film trudges into some intense and harrowing war sequences. Gibson doesn't shy away from hurling blood, guts, headshots, and severed limbs into our face. (At one point someone uses a dead body as shield.) Oh yeah, and there's flamethrowers. In fact, the filmmaking tactics are so jolting and brutal that, stylistically, they feel more like stuff that's straight from the horror genre. A certain scene that takes place amidst underground tunnels is particularly heart-racing. And as expected, the story oozes with heavy emotion, piling on the stirring moments. Toward the end as I started to feel a lot of feelings, I briefly glimpsed around the theater and noticed each and every audience member wiping tears away.
The performances, for the most part, are terrific. Andrew Garfield, who's mostly known as the new Spider-Man and for his great roles in The Social Network and 99 Homes, is a tour de force here. He captures a relentless tenacity, as well as a modest sense of altruism. The English actor's southern accent even seems more convincing than a lot of American actors (at least to my ears). As for Vince Vaughn, although no stranger to darker and straight-faced roles (#TrueDetectiveSeason2), is awkwardly miscast. His comedic quips are amusing, but it's difficult to take him seriously as a hard-nosed Sergeant, especially within the tone of this film. The rest of the cast are fully game, though.
With all that said, the film is not without its controversial elements: There's the almost sadistic and exploitive views of violence. The sketchy depiction of the Japanese characters. And well, Mel Gibson. Still, we can find solace in our noble protagonist, who happens to be the antithesis of all those issues: He's adamantly against any form of violence. He aides the Japanese soldiers' wounds too. And well, he's not Mel Gibson. When the conclusion of the film arrives, it's pretty clear that Desmond Doss is no "everyman"--he's an extraordinary human being.
Hacksaw Ridge is an undeniably powerful film that serves an unbelievable story.

News from Representative DeGette
HOME ABOUT DIANA NEWS CONTACT
The fight to protect health care heated up this week. While I am engaged in that matter as ever, I also took the lead on other public health priorities.
On Thursday, Senate Republicans unveiled their new Trumpcare bill to dismantle the Affordable Care Act. After developing it among a small group for nearly a month, they revealed it toward the week's end. My initial view: This bill is an even worse version than the one that was rushed through the House last month. If it becomes law, people will die due to draconian cuts to Medicaid, the crushing Age Tax it imposes on those aged 50 to 64, and its provisions letting states undermine important protections for people with pre-existing conditions, such as the current essential health benefit requirements. Offering a bill like this, after scheming over it in secret backrooms with no input from Democrats or even many Republicans, is not only poor policy, it's a disservice to the public
Coloradans have a lot to say about this Republican health scheme and its House predecessor. I've heard poignant and heartfelt stories from many constituents on what coverage under the ACA means for you and your families. As Senators prepare to vote on this new bill, I want them to hear those stories too. I encourage you to visit my official Facebook page to tell your stories about how the ACA has positively affected your life, or to share your views on the Senate bill. I intend to deliver these notes personally to our Colorado senators. Our collective voices can make the difference between "it's covered" and "it's cancelled."
I also took action on a pressing health concern for many in our community who live with diabetes. Insulin is a lifeline for millions of Americans, but because of skyrocketing costs and inadequate insurance coverage, it's in danger of becoming priced like a luxury. We can't let that happen, which is why I teamed up with my Republican colleague Tom Reed of New York to get answers from three key stakeholders. Rep. Reed is my co-chair on the Congressional Diabetes Caucus. We know this is a complex issue and we are looking for input from all involved on how to develop the best policy solutions to make insulin more affordable. In some cases, people skip doses, fail to pay rent or buy groceries, and even resort to an insulin 'black market' in order to afford their insulin. Patients and their families deserve relief, and this meeting will provide a necessary first step to ensuring every American with diabetes has the ability to thrive.
Also while in DC, I spoke at a Washington Post public forum with Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Greg Walden and Senator Edward J. Markey on addiction in America, particularly opioid abuse. The three of us have all heard tragic stories of addiction in our communities and are committed to alleviating it. I stressed that while money is not a panacea, smart federal investments through legislation like 21st Century Cures, my biomedical research bill that became law last year, present a path forward. In addition, increasing knowledge of addiction and a greater focus on holistic approaches can provide a lifeline for millions in Colorado and across America embroiled in this public health crisis.
As the week started, I was back home holding public events on matters that are at the top of constituents' minds. At Rocky Mountain Hospital for Children, I spoke out against President Trump's proposed budget cuts to Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP). We owe it to the nearly 600,000 kids on CHIP and Medicaid in our state alone to protect these programs, which have long enjoyed bipartisan backing, and to ensure healthier families across America.
On the same day, my third annual Senior Resource Fair was a big success, connecting nearly 100 attendees with more than 20 organizations that provide critical assistance to seniors and their caregivers. I'd also like thank District Attorney Beth McCann for speaking about fraud and other types of schemes targeting seniors. With the enthusiastic response we got, we'll start laying the groundwork for next year's event now!
I also held a Facebook Live Town Hall where I discussed climate change, financial aid/student debt, entrepreneurship and more. Thanks to all of you who participated and asked great questions on these critical issues that affect our community. We'll hold another one soon -- but for now, you can watch the entire event on my Facebook Page.
As always, you can visit my website, where you can read my positions on issues and learn about the different ways my staff can assist you. While you're there, be sure to visit the "Contact" page and send me an email about what matters most to you and your family. Finally, be sure to share this email with your friends, family, and neighbors so that they too can be a part of this important dialogue.

Law Minister directs govt bodies to prepare draft laws
Published On: March 19, 2018 05:20 PM NPT By: Republica | @RepublicaNepal
KATHMANDU, March 19: Minister for Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs, Sher Bahadur Tamang, has directed all government ministries and bodies to prepare the draft laws and submit them to the ministry within 15 days.
Addressing a press conference organized at the Ministry of Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs on Monday, he urged all the ministries and government agencies that have not yet submitted their draft laws to the Law Ministry to do so within the stipulated time so as to facilitate in the constitution implementation.
"All the ministries have to send the draft laws to the Ministry of Law following the promulgation of the constitution. But some ministries have not sent their draft laws and this has delayed in formulating the required laws," he said.
The Minister said that his Ministry would formulate the laws within 10 days of receiving the draft laws. The Ministry has yet to make 41 thematic laws.
Minister Tamang announced that 31 Acts related to the fundamental rights enshrined in the constitution would be drafted within the coming Asoj 3.
He also said that the Ministry was preparing the laws to facilitate the federal, province and local levels.
On the occasion, the Minister for Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs underscored on the supremacy of the constitution, the rule of law and full adoption of the principle of separation of powers among the organs of the state.

Upgrades to Consider when Installing Coilovers.
Many car enthusiasts looking to make an upgrade to their vehicle often focus on that specific upgrade and don't consider other upgrades that could benefit the initial upgrade. Below we will list other suspension upgrades to consider when installing coilovers on a 2008-2018 Subaru WRX and STi.
Upgrading your suspension to ISC adjustable coilovers on your 2008-2014 and 2015-2018 WRX and STi makes for a great increase in handling performance. ISC coilovers will significantly decrease body roll and can lower your vehicles center of gravity, which is beneficial for increased performance both on a street car and especially a track car. While the ISC coilovers will give you adjustable height, dampening, better handling, and a more aggressive look, there are some other things to consider doing that will allow you to get even more performance out of your WRX or STi.
ISC Adjustable Control Arms: The 2008-2014 and 2015-2018 WRX and STi do not have rear camber adjustment from the factory. For a stock car with OEM settings in most cases this will not cause any major alignment issues. BUT when you do start lowering your vehicle for the above mentioned benefits the camber in the rear of the car does change, and alignment/ camber settings will become limited due to the factory rear control arms simply not being capable of adjustment. The OEM control arms are also made of a flexy stamped steel, which has its own array of negative side effects (flex, rust, etc). The ISC adjustable control arms give the WRX and STi an instant adjustment range of over 5 degrees! Being made of 6061 aluminum they are stiff, strong, and very appealing compared to the OEM arm. Having this adjustment will allow you to take advantage of your increased suspension features, and help obtain your goals. Whether it is for track purposes (for a Autocross or road course alignment) or the complete opposite settings of obtaining a low and aggressive stance for your show car, these control arms can help make it happen!
Triple S Upgraded Coilover Springs: The out of the box steel ISC springs do a great job, but for certain disciplines the upgraded high tensile steel ISC triple-S Coilover Springs are a great option. For individuals seeking custom spring rates, or increased ride quality and performance these springs are a great option for the WRX and STi. The springs themselves are up to 20% lighter, and increase pitch and stroke, which in return yields a better ride quality. Great for a track car, or a street car seeking a custom spring rate or increased handling.
ISC Wheel Spacers and Adapters: When upgrading to ISC coilovers sometimes it is beneficial to add wheel spacers or even adapters depending on what wheels you are running on the vehicle. ISC wheel spacers and adapters are made of 6061-T aluminum, hub-centric, and feature top grade hardware (12.9). These will increase track width, and provide a more aggressive stance to the vehicle by brining the wheels towards the outer fender. ISC wheel spacers and adapters come in various sizes, and for the WRX and STI are offered in a 15mm and 15mm width, to accommodate many wheel sizes and offsets. The ISC 5×100 to 5×114 Subaru wheel adapters are a great option for a 5×100 Subaru such as the 2008-2014 WRX to allow the more popular and standard 5×114 wheel fitment choices the market has to offer. Essentially, it allows all WRX owners to use STi wheels!
Our ISC coilover covers make sense no matter where you live, the conditions you drive in or what type of driving you do with your car. These covers are made to protect your coilovers from any outside elements keeping them free from debris and functioning as designed for a lifetime!
Our ISC rear extenders add an ease of use to those tough to reach spaces when it comes to adjusting the damping levels of your coilovers. Most manufacturers add lots of trim to the rear trunk area which means getting to your rear damping adjustment knobs hard to reach or get at. If you're car is this way, we've got the answer for you! These easy to install, affordable extenders will make it MUCH easier to adjust the damping on the rear (or front) of your coilover with having to tear apart most of the trim or carpeting. These truly are a "no brainer"……..especially for only $35.
