Neighborhoods and Trails: Why Trails?
The first city trail work day in 2019 focused on erosion control along the "Wide Trail" between Frijoles and La Cuchara Trailheads in La Tierra Trails. Over a dozen students from The Masters Program joined additional "crew leader" volunteers organized by the City's Keep Santa Fe Beautiful coordinator, Carol Branch. Rock was provided ahead of time and during the work day by the City Parks Division. Other dates scheduled in February and later in March had to be cancelled due to snow and cold temperatures.

Album Review: Johnny Cash – Out Among The Stars (2014)
Disclaimer: Back in the early 1990s I learned that I share the same birthday as that of iconic musician Johnny Cash. Through the years I've connected in different ways with the contradictions of such a personality, but I've also remained unbiased when it comes to critiquing his body of recorded work.
I'm not much of a country music fan, but I do consider myself a bit of a Johnny Cash aficionado when it comes to the Man In Black's discography. Though I plan to write more about the subject down the road, the most urgent matter of today is this week's release of a once-shelved Cash studio album dating back to the mid-1980s.
I didn't have a whole lot of faith in this record initially when thinking back on the music from that era, particularly of this genre, but was delighted to hear how well it's held up after a few spins. Maybe it's the additional overdubs that's helped fine-tune these songs, or maybe it's just nostalgia that carries it so well.
The album has hints of Cash's boom-chick-a-boom style of his early years and the ghostly solitude of his latter days with Rick Rubin, but without all the dark clouds that accompanied those releases during his final decade. All in all, it's most comparable to the 1979 standout album Silver than much of what he released in the years that followed.
There's tales of crime, love, heartache and redemption, just about every angle you'd expect Cash to cover. Yet it's done with a much more polished feel that at times covers up too many of his intricate flaws that have come to characterize his sound.
Somewhere beneath the heavy production is a voice and persona that comes across as sounding much younger and livelier than many will remember him for. But whatever the lasting impression, Out Among The Stars is a worthy addition to his collection, notably due to a handful of tracks that now deservingly see the light of day.
If focusing solely on individual tracks, this record may come across as a bit pedestrian to anyone opting to merely scan through it. But experiencing each song as a collective, under the umbrella of the album, leaves a much more palatable impression that'll leave you satisfied upon conclusion.
In saying that, there's no doubt that a handful of tracks serve as the backbone to this release, helping to make the overall experience worthwhile as a whole.
The title track gets things started in grand fashion with the tale of an outlaw running amuck and out of luck while ducking the grasp of the law.
"She Used to Love Me a Lot" is an ode to how our minds perceive old memories in relation to the present tense. It's hard not to imagine yourself sitting in the driver's seat as Cash waivers in confidence by song's end.
Waylon Jennings appears alongside Cash on a rowdy rendition of "I'm Movin' On," which packs energetic grooves and Highwaymen swagger that ultimately sounds better than anything they did together on the 1986 Heroes album.
Picking up where "I'm Movin' On" left off, "I Drove Her Out of My Mind" is full of musical vigor as Cash tells the story of a deadly drive off a cliff with an ex in tow, all for the sake of finding closure following a breakup.
"Don't You Think It's Come Our Time" features June Carter Cash in what is a track that harkens back to their tag-team heyday of old souls in love. June also appears earlier in the album on "Baby Ride Easy."
Maybe there was a legitimate reason this particular group of songs was never released by Columbia Records in 1984. It's trivial because other Cash albums were put out by the label during that period in time, in which country music strayed from its foundation as labels tried cashing in on the pop music charts.
But there's nothing left to be gained or lost for Cash nowadays. Just a reminder for fans that, much like the times, he continued to evolve and change. The gap being filled by Out Among The Stars is a welcome amendment to the tail end of his time at Columbia, and serves as an interesting prelude for what was yet to come in his final years.

Karlie Fudger performs a solo this year. Fudger won the junior scholarship category and Munson Family Scholarship
Karlie Fudger wins junior scholarship
The second time's the charm. Or at least it was for Prince Rupert's Karlie Fudger, a member of the Dance Academy of Prince Rupert.
May. 13, 2016 5:00 a.m.
The second time's the charm.
Or at least it was for Prince Rupert's own Karlie Fudger, a member of the Dance Academy of Prince Rupert.
On Friday, April 22, during the Pacific Northwest Music Festival where the prestigious yearly competition attracts the best young musicans and dancers to Terrace for the weekend, Karlie Fudger was asked to re-compete her lyrical solo.
Fudger was then re-adjudicated against the very best in many other arts disciplines such as piano, vocal, harp, speech and guitar for ages 12 and under.
The next evening during the festival-ending gala, Fudger was announced as the overall winner of the junior scholarship category.
She was awarded the Munson Family Scholarship, worth $250, for her efforts.
"This award is a great honour and achievement and a true testament to the hard work and dedication she has applied to her dance training at the academy," said Dance Academy of Prince Rupert executive Karla Mackereth last week.
Earlier in March, the Dance Academy took home 16 trophies at the Prince George Dance Festival.

Five have been inducted into the Greenport High School Hall of Fame

Five new members were inducted into Greenport High School's Greenport High School Athletics Hall of Fame Friday night. The ceremony took place at halftime of the Greenport Boys basketball game on Friday night.
In front of a full crowd, Greenport's athletic director Brian Toussaint listed each new member's accomplishments before presenting them with a plaque. The inductees were John Skrezec, Richard Breese, Mary Kelly, Francis "FJ" Kiernan and Jane Utz.
This is the second induction in Greenport High School's history following the commencement ceremony in 2020. These five join Richard "Dude" Manwaring, Dorrie Jackson, William "Billy" Fuccillo, Alan "Coach Al" Edwards and Ryan Creighton.
"It was long overdue," Toussaint said. "They left Greenport a long time ago, but as this is only our second ceremony, we have some catching up to do. It's important to recognize their achievements and congratulate them on their careers. It is undeniable that these five are more than worthy of being recognized as part of our Hall of Fame."
Skrezec, Greenport High School Class of 1958, was a four-athlete who excelled in football, baseball, basketball and track. He was a member of the 1957 All Scholastic team. Not only did he play varsity football for all four years of high school, but he never lost a game. The Porters went undefeated from 1955 to 1958. They also won the 1958 Rutgers Trophy, given to the most outstanding team in Suffolk County. After high school, he served four years in the US Army.
Breese, Greenport High School Class of 1958, was also a four-athlete. Breese and Skrezec played football, baseball, basketball, and track and field together. As a starting quarterback, Breese led the Porters to three football championships. He twice received All-County honors for his efforts on the football field. Breese was also a great basketball player. He was the first 1,000-point scorer in Greenport High School history and was named to Newsday's All County First Team three times. As if that wasn't enough, Breese played on two championship baseball teams and fought over the .300 for his career.
Kelly, Greenport High School Class of 1977, was one of the few All-American athletes in Greenport history. She received the honor three times – once for volleyball and twice for basketball. Kelly played all four high school years at the varsity level. She played basketball, field hockey, volleyball, and softball and became the most valuable player in virtually every sport she played. Kelly graduated from Indiana State University and continued her distinguished athletic career.
Kiernan was a popular baseball coach from 1971 when he started as a JV coach until he retired from coaching in 1987 as a varsity coach. He was unable to attend the ceremony but asked his favorite player he ever coached, Scott Klipp, to represent him. He had a profound impact on every player he coached, which was evident in the number of nominations he received. According to a booklet provided at the game, he had a winning record throughout his tenure as the Porters' baseball coach.
Utz, heralded as the architect of the girls' track and field at Greenport, was the last member in that introductory class. She was unable to attend the ceremony, so her niece, Mindy Ryan, accepted the award in her place. Utz started the girls' field hockey program in 1973. A year later, she started the girls' basketball program. Utz coached field hockey from 1973 to 1977 and basketball from 1974 to 1983. She won eight championships while coaching the basketball team and went unbeaten for six consecutive seasons. In 1982, the basketball team was crowned the Suffolk County Class D champions.
"First of all, the community is very proud of their school and the school's sports," said Toussaint. "When the football team made the last four this fall, there was a flood of support from the community. There were parades, fundraisers — the amount of people in the crowd today is just another example of how much this community loves their school and their student-athletes."

Australian Coalition Government & Labor Opposition Trash Human Rights,
Child Rights, Free Speech & Medical Ethics
By Dr Gideon Polya

Australia has invaded 85 countries, with 30 such invasions associated with genocidal atrocities, and has an appalling record of child abuse both at home and abroad, with as many as 25% of Australians suffering sexual abuse as children. Now on top of draconian anti-terrorism laws grossly violating human rights, Australian doctors, nurses, teachers and care-givers face 2 years in prison for reporting ongoing physical, psychological and sexual abuse of children and other inmates of Australian refugee concentration camps.
The evil perversion of child sexual abuse is endemic in Australia. Thus Dr Carolyn Quadrio (University of New South Wales School of Psychiatry) advised the Australian Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse that "They [child abuse victims] often have unhealthy lifestyles so they're prone to substance abuse and poverty and unemployment ... and all of that adds up to something like 10 to 20 years less life for a child who's been traumatised" and estimated that 25- 30% of Australian girls and about 5- 15% of Australian boys suffered some form of sexual abuse, with 30% of girls and 20 % of boys in institutions being abused [1].
Notwithstanding enormous Government and Mainstream media claims of horrendous Indigenous child sexual abuse (claims that led to a racist military Intervention in Australian Northern Territory Indigenous communities), the subsequent "Little Children are Sacred" Report (p57; [2]) stated that "As noted previously, it is not possible to accurately estimate the extent of child sexual abuse in the Northern Territory's Aboriginal communities (see The Extent of Child Sexual Abuse, Part II). However, the Inquiry has found clear evidence that child sexual abuse is a significant problem across the Territory". However in contrast to its inability to accurately quantitate the extent of child abuse in Indigenous communities, the "Little Children are Sacred" Report (pp234-236; [2] ) refers to studies in America indicating that 25% of females and 10% of males experience childhood sexual abuse [3] and in Australia indicating that 34% of females and 16% of males today experienced child sexual abuse [4]. The Australian Institute of Criminology determined that in Australia 1 in 3 females and 1 in 6 males will be sexually abused as children [5, 6].
Of course Australia and the US are not alone in this and child abuse is a horrible international problem, David Finkelhor finding that "Surveys of child sexual abuse in large nonclinical populations of adults have been conducted in at least 19 countries in addition to the United States and Canada, including 10 national probability samples. All studies have found rates in line with comparable North American research, ranging from 7% to 36% for women and 3% to 29% for men. Most studies found females to be abused at 1.5 to 3 times the rate for males. Few comparisons among countries are possible because of methodological and definitional differences. However, they clearly confirm sexual abuse to be an international problem" [7].
One can conclude that 15-25% of adult Australians have been sexually abused as children, this corresponding to 2.6-4.4 million Australians having been thus abused (as determined from UN Population Division demographic data) [8]. 6.65 per 1,000 Australians die each year and accordingly, if we ignore child mortality (very low in rich countries like Australia) and apply this figure to adult Australians, then 117,050 adult Australians die each year and of these 15-25% (18,000-29,000 or an average of about 24,000) die prematurely each year linked to child sexual abuse.
These 24,000 annual premature deaths of Australians who have suffered child sexual abuse constitute a complex part of an overall tragedy in which circa 83,000 Australians die preventably each year, the updated 2015 breakdown being as follows [9, 10, 11]:
(1). 26,000 annual Australian deaths from adverse hospital events.
(2). 17,000 obesity-related Australian deaths annually.
(3). 15,500 smoking-related Australian deaths annually.
(4). 10,000 carbon burning pollution-derived Australian deaths annually.
(5). 5,600 Australians die alcohol-related deaths annually.
(6). 4,000 avoidable Indigenous Australian deaths annually.
(7). 2,100 Australian suicides annually.
(8). 1,400 Australian road deaths annually.
(9) 1,400 drug-related deaths annually (this including 630 Australian opiate drug-related deaths annually with 570 annually linked to US restoration of the Taliban-destroyed Afghan opium industry).
(10). 300 Australian homicides annually, of which about 100 are domestic homicides and about 75 are women victims (noting that 0.5 million Australian women suffered domestic violence in 2005).
Note that the 24,000 annual premature deaths of Australians who have suffered child sexual abuse, and indeed the 4,000 annual avoidable deaths of Indigenous Australians, variously overlap with the preventable deaths in the 10 categories listed above.
A substantial body of Australians are jingoistic, very poorly educated and grossly misinformed by US-owned or otherwise Neocon American and Zionist Imperialist (NAZI)-perverted and subverted Mainstream media. Australia has become a neo-fascist Plutocracy, Murdochracy, Lobbyocracy, Corporatocracy, and Dollarocracy in which Big Money purchases people, politicians, parties, policies, public perception of reality and political power. It has become increasingly Orwellian in that Elephant in the Room issues are resolutely ignored by Mainstream media, politicians and academics whereas minutiae are expanded to enormous proportions in the interests of a neoliberal and indeed neo-fascist agenda.
Thus US-owned Murdoch media (that have about 70% of Australian readership of city newspapers) and other US-beholden Mainstream media have an appalling record of misinforming the public on all kinds of Elephant in the Room matters from war to Humanity-threatening climate change, and of genocide-ignoring non-reportage of mass mortality in which Australia has been complicit e.g. Australia's invasion of 85 countries (as compared to the UK 193, France 80, the US 70 and Apartheid Israel 12) [12], 9 million Iraqi deaths from 100 years of Western violence and violently imposed deprivation [13], 6-7 million Indians deliberately starved to death by the British with Australian complicity in the WW2 Bengali Holocaust [14, 15] , 6 million Afghan deaths from Western violence and violently imposed deprivation since 2001 [16], 12 million Muslim deaths from Western violence and violently imposed deprivation in the post-1990 US War on Muslims, 10 million Muslim deaths from Western violence and violently imposed deprivation in the post-9/11- US War on Terror [17], and 7 million annual global deaths from air pollution [18], noting that Australia is a world leader in annual per capita greenhouse (GHG) gas pollution and climate change inaction, disproportionately contributing to a worsening climate genocide in which an estimated 10 billion people will perish this century unless requisite climate change action is taken [19, 20].
Although zero (0) Australians have ever been killed in Australia by a terrorist belonging to a Muslim-origin non-state terrorist organization [9], Mainstream media-brainwashed Australians overwhelmingly (circa 70%) regard Middle Eastern terrorism as the major threat to their distant island continent Australia that is "girt by sea" (as expressed in the national anthem). Thus in 2015 the Lowy Institute reported the results of polling revealing that "Fewer than one in four (24%) Australian adults say they feel very safe. This is the lowest recorded result in our eleven-year polling history. Of eight potential risks to Australia's security in the next ten years, the highest-ranked threat is 'the emergence of Islamic State in Iraq and Syria' (69% ranking it high risk), while the risk of 'military conflict between the United States and China in Asia' is ranked lowest (20% seeing it as high risk)" [21].
The Coalition Government with craven Labor Opposition support has passed draconian anti- terrorism laws over the last decade that egregiously invade Australian privacy , civil rights and human rights. There are some limits to public acceptance of this Orwellian terror hysteria. Thus, while 1-2 Australian women are murdered every week by an intimate partner (see above) as compared to zero (0) Australians having ever been killed in Australia by a terrorist belonging to a Muslim-origin non-state terrorist organization, polling in 2015 has shown that 74% of those Australians polled regarded domestic violence as more of a threat (48%) or about the same as a threat (26%) than terrorism [22].
The biggest child abusers in Australia are the successive Lib-Lab (Coalition or Labor Right) Australian Governments which are variously complicit in the following child abuse atrocities [23]:
(1). 3 million under-5 year old infant deaths in Occupied Afghanistan since 2001, 90% avoidable and due to gross violation of the Geneva Convention by the US Alliance, including Australia [16].
(2). 2.0 million under-5 year old infant deaths in Iraq since 1990, 90% avoidable and due to gross violation of the Geneva Convention by the US Alliance, including Australia [12, 13].
(3). The Australian Government supports US nuclear terrorism and US state terrorism but is an enthusiastic part of Zionist-urged Sanctions against nuclear weapons-free and peaceful Iran that can be estimated to kill 100,000 Iranians each year, about half of whom are children [8, 24].
(4). In pro-Zionist Lib-Lab (Coalition or Labor Right) Australia donations to the Palestinian Genocide can be tax-deductible, noting that half of the horribly abused Occupied Palestinians are children. Australia is the best friend after the US to Apartheid Israel which deliberately kills about 2,000 Occupied Palestinian children each year through appalling and genocidal deprivation, noting that the annual per capita GDP is $ 37,700 for genocidally racist Apartheid Israel and $2,900 for its Occupied Palestine subjects [25].
(5). In the ongoing Aboriginal Genocide about 4,000 Indigenous Australians die avoidably every year, noting that about half of Indigenous Australians are children. The Aboriginal under-5 infant mortality rate is about 3 times greater than that of White Australians [10].
(6). Lib-Lab Australian Governments support an Educational Apartheid system that disproportionately excludes the majority of Australian children from decent education, university, top universities and top courses. In contrast, this Educational Apartheid lavishes taxpayer funding on private religious schools as well as religious chaplaincy for State schools – they are accordingly complicit in massive intellectual child abuse applied to millions of Australian children who are variously falsely and obscenely brainwashed with superstitious claptrap, creationism, intelligent design, homophobia, sexism, sexual guilt, unsafe sex, racism, ultra-nationalism and support for the invasion, occupation and ethnic cleansing of other countries [26, 27].
(7). The pro-war, pro-Zionist, US lackey Australian Labor Government is committed to the US War on Terror and the consequent accrual cost to Australia of this dishonest, racist obscenity has been estimated at $125 billion (by way of comparison, the national GDP is about $1.6 trillion). This huge fiscal perversion inescapably contributes to the deaths of the 83,000 Australians who die preventably each year [9] and a miserable life for millions of Australian children, 15% or about 700,000 of whom live below the poverty line
(8). While being complicit in the generation of over 30 million Muslim refugees by the racist Zionists and the endlessly war-making, Zionist-beholden US Alliance, Australia has drawn the ire of the UN Human Rights Commission for highly abusive, indefinite and punitive imprisonment of thousands of child refugees and adult refugees in remote concentration camps without charge or trial.
It gets worse. The Rudd Labor Government in 2013 largely stopped the flow of refugees in boats by determining that any such arrivals would be sent to concentration camps on Nauru or on Manus Island (Papua New Guinea) and forbidden to ever be re-settled in Australia. The subsequent Abbott Coalition Government added to this policy with a highly secret program of illegally turning refugee boats around in contravention of the Refugee Convention and sending boats back to Indonesia in contravention of Indonesian sovereignty. It transpires that the Australian Coalition Government illegally paid large sums to Indonesian "people smugglers" to take refugees in Australian custody back to Indonesia (the previous Labor Governments evidently bribed Indonesian "people smugglers" not to transport refugees). The "Stop the boats" , warmongering and "terror hysteria" of the extreme right wing Coalition Government have been electoral successes for the otherwise unpopular Coalition Government which has been able to tap the huge racist xenophobia remaining in White Australia despite decades of successful multiculturalism.
Outrage over the highly-abusive imprisonment of children has resulted in refugee child imprisonment falling from about 2,000 in 2013 to about 220 in 2015. Child refugees arriving by boat are not sent to the Manus Island concentration camp but instead are sent to the remote island quasi-dictatorship of Nauru. Both the Coalition Government and the Labor Opposition justify this barbarity by saying that by thus discouraging refugees they are saving refugees from drowning at sea.
However courageous and ethical medical, paramedical, teaching and social work staff from Australia's on-shore and off-shore refugee concentration camps have reported horrendous physical, psychological and sexual abuse of children in these "detention centres". The Australian Human Rights Commission, headed by eminent lawyer Professor Gillian Triggs, investigated these abuses and issued a Report in 2014. In her forward to the Report, Professor Triggs stated: "Australia currently holds about 800 children in mandatory closed immigration detention for indefinite periods, with no pathway to protection or settlement. This includes 186 children detained on Nauru. Children and their families have been held on the mainland and on Christmas Island for, on average, one year and two months. Over 167 babies have been born in detention within the last 24 months. This Report gives a voice to these children. It provides compelling first-hand evidence of the negative impact that prolonged immigration detention is having on their mental and physical health. The evidence given by the children and their families is fully supported by psychiatrists, paediatricians and academic research. The evidence shows that immigration detention is a dangerous place for children. Data from the Department of Immigration and Border Protection describes numerous incidents of assault, sexual assault and self-harm in detention environments" [28, 29].
The Coalition Government responded by smearing Professor Triggs and demanding her resignation but this marvellous humanitarian has stuck to her guns in a dignified, articulate and non-partisan way. Further, the Australian Immigration Department ordered 10 members of Save The Children to leave Nauru after the workers made claims of sexual abuse against women and children inside the Nauru detention centre – however a subsequent inquiry (the Moss Inquiry) vindicated the ethical behaviour of these workers [30]. Nevertheless the Australian Federal Police (AFP) is still shamefully investigating ethical care-givers for possible prosecution.
Not to be undone, the Coalition Government , with the support of the cowardly and craven Labor Opposition, has now passed a Border Force Act that makes it a criminal offence punishable by 2 years' imprisonment for detention centre staff – e.g. doctors, nurses, social workers and teachers – to report abuses. Decent Australians have been outraged by this legislation, noting that in Australia these same professionals are legally obliged to report child abuse under Federal and State mandatory reporting laws. The Lib-Labs (Coalition and Labor Right) defend their position by saying that the care-givers can safely report to due authority, but the health professionals and other care givers respond by saying that this will involve reporting abuse to the abusers.
The Australian Medical Association (AMA), the Australian Medical Students' Association and the Australian Education Union have all attacked this violation of the right and duty of health professionals, teachers and care-givers to report abuse and in particular abuse of children [31]. An open letter from 40 former medical and non-medical off-shore detention centre staff stated: "Today the Border Force Act comes into force. It includes provision for a two-year jail sentence for "entrusted persons" such as ourselves if we continue to speak out about the deplorable state of human rights in immigration detention without the express permission of the minister for immigration and border protection. This strengthens the wall of secrecy which prevents proper public scrutiny. We have advocated, and will continue to advocate, for the health of those for whom we have a duty of care, despite the threats of imprisonment, because standing by and watching sub-standard and harmful care, child abuse and gross violations of human rights is not ethically justifiable. If we witness child abuse in Australia we are legally obliged to report it to child protection authorities. If we witness child abuse in detention centres, we can go to prison for attempting to advocate for them effectively. Internal reporting mechanisms such as they are have failed to remove children from detention; a situation that is itself recognised as a form of systematic child abuse. Evidence of the devastating effects of institutional self-protection and blindness to child abuse has been presented before the current royal commission. We are determined not to collude with a system that repeats these same mistakes. There are currently many issues which constitute a serious threat to the health of those in detention for whom we have a duty of care. The Department of Immigration and Border Protection is aware of these problems and has for years failed to address them adequately. We are aware that in publishing this letter we may be prosecuted under the Border Force Act and we challenge the department to prosecute so that these issues may be discussed in open court and in the full view of the Australian public" [32].
Notwithstanding zero (0) Australian deaths ever in Australia from Muslim-origin non-state terrorist organizations, supported by US-inspired "terror hysteria" the extreme right wing Australian Coalition Government with the support of the right wing Labor Opposition has war criminally re-invaded Iraq and passed draconian anti-terrorism legislation that makes Australia a secret police state with detention without charge or trial, Australian Intelligence officers (e.g. of the Australian Security and Intelligence Organization, ASIO) having criminal and civil immunity from prosecution, and reportage on any special intelligence operations criminalized with maximum punishments ranging from 5 years' to 10 years' imprisonment. All computer metadata (who is contacted but not what is communicated) is now compulsorily retained for the Government with court orders then permitting follow-up to determine what was communicated. Anti-terrorism laws now threaten Australians with custodial punishment ranging up to life imprisonment for seeing, reading, writing, saying, supporting or communicating all kinds of things the neo-fascist Government doesn't like. Citizens can be arbitrarily arrested by the Australian secret police and there is a 5 years' imprisonment punishment for refusing to answer questions or for anyone reporting such arrest. New bipartisan legislation will be passed later this year to strip citizenship off dual citizenship people the Government doesn't like [33, 34, 35].
And now this Orwellian, Kafkaesque authoritarianism has spread to criminalizing the fundamental ethical obligation of doctors and other health professionals to report endangerment and abuse of their patients. The International Business Times reports (2105): "According to the report, titled "The Forgotten Children," the government-funded commission found that in the 15-month period between January 2013 and March 2014, nearly 300 of the over 1,100 children being held in onshore and offshore detention centers had committed or threatened to commit self-harm, and nearly 30 children were sexually assaulted. The children involved in self-harm were between 12 to 17 years old" [36]. However Australian doctors, nurses, social workers, teachers ands other care-givers who report such abuse in Australian concentration camps face 2 years in prison. Indeed one is reminded of Samuel Butler's novel "Erewhon" (roughly "nowhere" spelled backwards) in which social support is lavished on dangerous sociopaths while the sick are scorned as outcasts.
Successive US lackey Australian Coalition Governments and the US Alliance have been variously unwittingly complicit in the generation of the barbarous ISIS in the Middle East [37]. Foreign correspondent and war correspondent in Iraq, Michael Ware, on ABC TV Q&A stated (2015) : "Inadvertently, mistakenly, unwittingly, we unleashed the Islamic State upon the region and upon ourselves. Now, it became an accident of our own doing. It is a direct result of the invasion of Iraq and it turns out that the bitter, historical irony is that the very thing we say we went there to prevent is the very thing we created" [38] . Indeed in the same Q&A debate, the former Coalition Leader Dr John Hewson agreed with Michael Ware, stating "Look, I have absolutely no doubt that we have ourselves to blame for this [ISIS]" [38]. However the pro-war Australian Lib-Labs (Coalition and Labor Right) are exploiting "terror hysteria" over this distant terrorism of their own creation, stripping away Australian human rights and in particular free speech that is vital for democracy, societal security and indeed national security
Free speech is fundamental to rational risk management, that is crucial for societal safety and successively involves (a) accurate data, (b) scientific analysis, this involving the critical testing of potentially falsifiable hypotheses, and (c) informed systemic change to minimize risk. Unfortunately, this rational risk management protocol is typically perverted at the individual, family or local level, at the level of the family of nations and most blatantly by the pro war, war criminal, pro-fossil fuels, climate criminal, human rights-abusing and child-abusing Australian Lib-Labs (Coalition and Labor Right) by (a) lying, self-deception, spin, obfuscation, intimidation and censorship, (b) anti-science spin, this involving the selective use of asserted facts to support a partisan position, and (c) blame and shame that is counterproductive because it blocks reportage crucial for rational risk management and in the worst cases leads to war [39].
The Australian Lib-Labs are still committing war crimes abroad in Iraq and Afghanistan and through the key role of Australia's Pine Gap spying facility in targetting illegal and war criminal US drone strikes in Libya, Somalia, Yemen, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan [12], the post-1990 US War on Muslims being now associated with 12 million Muslim deaths (half of them children) from violence or violently -imposed deprivation. At home, Lib-Lab inaction makes them complicit in 83,000 preventable Australian deaths each year (inescapably linked to the fiscal perversion of Lib-Lab commitment to an annual long-term accrual cost to Australia of $11 billion per year of the US War on Terror) and to an ongoing child sexual abuse epidemic that is associated with 24,000 deaths annually of traumatized and socially disabled people.
What can decent people do about the Lib-Lab (Coalition and Labor Right) criminality, human rights abuse and child abuse? Just as health, teaching and other care-giving professionals are obliged legally and by professional ethics to report child abuse, decent people everywhere must inform everyone they can and urge and apply Boycotts, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) against Lib-Lab Australians complicit in horrendous child abuse and in criminalization of its reportage. Decent Australians will utterly reject the anti-science, pro-war, child-abusing Lib-Labs, vote 1 Green and put the Coalition last.

I had just started a new job when I was troubled by a painful condition in my shoulder. I was in such discomfort I was unable to sleep properly, but I took the opportunity of the quiet, wakeful hours to prayerfully deny that any material condition had actual power to curtail my activities or cause distress.
I had confidence that through understanding more clearly my relationship to God, the difficulty would be effectively dealt with. Over a number of years I have proved that God's sustaining power is right at hand to heal. A study of the Bible in the light of Christian Science has given me glimpses of the true, spiritual nature of God's creation - glimpses of the harmony and substantiality of this spiritual universe and the insubstantiality of matter. Fears, unhappiness, and pain that result from believing matter has power have many times been eliminated by my gaining a clearer understanding of spiritual being and my unity with God.
So I refused to accept this complaint of the body. I realized that because God is the only genuine source of life, the only true cause and intelligence, matter has no ability to produce any effects. It has no intelligence, power, or voice to dictate its terms. I affirmed my identity to be spiritual and forever intact. Whenever there were twinges of pain I refused to be impressed and instead dwelt more resolutely on the true concept of man, made in God's, Spirit's, image. I fell asleep early in the morning and woke up refreshed and ready for the day's work. Although some discomfort remained, it did not restrict my activities, and by the end of the week I was completely free.
This healing showed the efficacy of resolutely refusing to accept discordant material conditions, whatever form they take. This is a lesson that is repeated many times in the Bible. Great Bible characters had to prove their fidelity to God's power, to Spirit's supremacy. Our Master, Christ Jesus, continually asserted his dominion over supposed material laws. His life and healing works proved the spiritual facts of God's creation: that God is the one Principle and cause and that everything in His creation expresses His goodness.

New colours for V-Strom 1050 and V-Strom 1050XT revealed
Suzuki has shown the colour options available on its 2021 V-Strom 1050 and V-Strom 1050XT, with bikes arriving in dealerships now.
Launched last year, the range-topping V-Strom 1050XT – which comes complete with three selectable engine maps, traction control with three modes, lean angle-sensitive ABS with two modes, linked brakes with slope and load-dependent control and hill hold, plus cruise control – remains available in the popular orange and white, DR750-inspired livery, but for 2021 it is joined by a classy, steely grey with blue decals and blue and grey seat, completed by blue spoked wheels.
An updated yellow option also features, unashamedly influenced by the firm's RM-Z motocross range, with a black tank and gold rims. Gold rims also feature on an otherwise all black version, bar subtle grey and gold decals.
The V-Strom 1050 – which uses the same 107PS V-twin engine and many of the same electronics features as the XT but swaps the spokes for cast aluminium wheels and loses the standard fit engine bars and hand guards to come in at £9,999 – is available in a bold red and black livery.
The new-for-2021 colours on the V-Strom 1050XT also apply to the Tour edition, which adds black three piece aluminium luggage as standard with 112 litres of storage space. With an RRP of £12,799 it equates to a saving of £370 over the purchase of the individual items.
