The layout of this environmental report aims to convey the idea that ecological commitments and economic progress do not have to contradict one another. In order to achieve this, "score" is kept purely informative – it centres on facts and numbers to resolutely prove its claim and attitude. The report appears to have been made from packaging paper featuring three special colours. It does entirely without photos, cliché-ridden visualisations and embellishing image worlds, relying instead on pictograms, tables and illustrations that complement the individual topics presented. Consequently, consolidating the idea even further, people are not presented in photos but as illustrations.

Top Vegan Wrestler Releases Book Calling For Food Revolution
The fighter spoke to Great Vegan Athletes about his new tome
by Great Vegan Athletes 3rd April 2018 Updated 1st October 2020
Reading Time: 4 minutes The athlete in action (Photo: Austin Aries)
Professional wrestler Austin Aries has released a book called Food Fight – detailing his veganism, success in sport, and desires to see a 'food revolution'.
Aries, who turned vegan in 2011, has twice been TNA World Heavyweight Champion. He's also won the World Tag Team title and is a six-time winner of the Divisional Championship.
More recently, Austin moved to WWE [World Wrestling Entertainment] and is currently expected to wrestle for the WWE World Cruiserweight title. He's known as 'The Vascular Vegetarian', and 'The MV3 – Most Valuable Vascular Vegetarian'.
Great Vegan Athletes [GVA] was honored to be invited to speak with Aries as part of his book launch.
During a Skype interview, Aries told GVA about his journey to veganism, the demands of his sport, and his concerns about the food industry.
Recordings from the interview are available here (part one, part two and part three).
Turning vegan
Aries grew up eating animal products regularly. As a young adult one of the crucial moments in his transition was a chance conversation.
He says: "This guy said to me 'you really shouldn't eat red meat and pork, it's not good for you'. ]
"I had no idea. It became this journey. They make it easy for us to keep our head in the sand.
"I'm someone who once his head out of the sand, I couldn't put my head back into the sand."
Trying it
He added: "There are so many reasons to give it a try. Whether you're doing it for your own health or whether you're doing it for the environment. Our factory farming industry causes more damage than the entire automobile industry but we don't look at that."
Since then, the athlete has embraced veganism enthusiastically. We discussed the various reasons people are drawn to eliminating animal products, and he felt that they all applied to him.
He said: "There's also the humanity of what we do to other creatures. In most industrialized countries you have options, you have choices.
"We've been misguided to live in the other extreme where every time you sit down you eat animal products."
A large part of the motivation to write the book was Aries' growing understanding of the food industry and concerns about how unhealthily many people's diets are.
"I go around the country and meet lots of young fans," he said.
"I notice how many kids are unhealthy at such a young age, they're already set up for disease which is all preventable. It's awful. Our parents aren't educated, it's not part of the curriculum. Our doctors are not educated at all."
Aries is enthusiastic about documentary What the Health, which considers the negative impact of the meat and dairy industries on Western health.
He said: "I felt I was a part of it, it was the things I've been talking about. I'd encourage everyone to watch this. You realise the level of corruption. The people who are supposed to protect us, and make us healthy, are driving it all for profit.
"One cool point they made in WTH is that all proteins come from plants. Some of the strongest animal on earth are vegetarian."
Austin Aries is looked up to by young fans, who see his amazing fitness and strength, and know that he lives an incredibly demanding lifestyle. For this reason, he strives to use his platform to spread a responsible message.
He said: "What I do is one of the most demanding roles from a physical standpoint…we are on the road constantly, we do pay per views once a month. In so many sports you may have a boxing match twice a year, footballer, basketball players play once a week.
"[My sport] is so demanding. We go out there live, there are no stunt doubles, there's no protective gear. You don't fake gravity.
"The other aspect is the travel. We're constantly in aeroplanes, hotels, rental cars. Being in the seats takes its toll on the body but also the options for eating on the road are really bad.
"A plant based diet is very low in inflammatory levels. Every time you eat you're either feeing or fighting illness. I feel that over the last 17 years I've been fighting – not feeding – illness."
Time for change?
Aries hopes the truth around diet, health, and ethics will come out – and he is keen to play his part in ensuring it does.
"We had that moment when the tobacco industry put their head in their hands and said 'OK you caught us'," he said.
"We're getting close to that with the corporate food system. When they finally admit they haven't been truthful, then people will start looking at food differently. If people stop buying the food that's poisoning them, then the big corporations will clean up their act.
"It's going to be bad for the meat and dairy industries."
Perhaps the key to change lies in making the changes to our views of food that Austin Aries himself has made.
He said: "I was raised to look at food in three ways. Do I like the way it tastes, how much does it cost, how fast can I get it.
"That's how society views it. At a certain point I started thinking 'how good is it for me, how much nutritional value do I get for my dollar, and where did it come from'.
"When people start looking at things that way you're going to see more veganism."

World Arthritis Day 2017 – Early Diagnosis is Essential
Over 120 million people in the EU are affected by rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases
Today, on the occasion of World Arthritis Day, from Image Biopsy Lab we would like to endorse the arthritis awareness campaign 'Don't Delay, Connect Today'. For that, we will give you some insight into this very ailment and the significance of its rapid detection. Rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases (RMDs) are leading causes of disability worldwide, afflicting over 120 million people only in the European Union. Yet despite the high prevalence, they remain not well understood, and many of those affected by these conditions are unable to properly recognize the early symptoms.
Among the most prevalent RMDs, we find arthritis. In fact, arthritis is not a single disease but an umbrella term for a myriad of conditions, such as ankylosing spondylitis, gout, juvenile arthritis, osteoarthritis, and rheumatoid arthritis. Although the risk of the most common types of arthritis – osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis – increases with age, arthritis does not discriminate, and affects both young and old. Generally speaking, the term "arthritis" refers to any disorder that affects the joints, normally following a progressive course. Therefore, the signs and symptoms that make people visit a physician's office are typically joint pain, swelling or stiffness. Sometimes unrelenting fatigue as well as a feeling of overall weakness are complaints, too.
Early diagnosis is essential for a successful treatment
Left untreated, arthritis can become a serious condition, and even reduce life expectancy. Fortunately, arthritis is eminently treatable, and shows prospects of remission in some cases. Early diagnosis is however, essential for a successful treatment. Indeed, identification at initial presentation and treatment at earlier stage can positively affect the clinical course, thereby preventing or retarding further damage such as joint erosions. Nevertheless, RMDs in general often receive delayed or no diagnosis at all.
This year's World Arthritis Day theme – 'Don't Delay, Connect Today' – aims to raise awareness of RMDs, and spread the word about the importance of an early diagnosis. The campaign, initiated by The European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR), intends to engage patient organisations, health professional associations and scientific communities. With a strong activity on social media under the hashtag #ConnectToday, the EULAR campaign seeks to inspire people all around the world to take action and make a difference to the quality of life of those suffering from RMDs.
"Early diagnosis is key to preventing further damage, but RMDs often receive delayed or no diagnosis" – EULAR
Finally, it is also important to bear in mind that difficulties of early diagnosis of RMDs are partially due to the fact that patients can present with a wide range of manifestations, thus leading to a rather subjective diagnosis. Consequently, at Image Biopsy Lab we are engaged in developing novel technology that enables rheumatologists to objectively assess and track some RMDs, including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and osteoporosis.

Ahava hand cream might be the solution you've been looking for if you have hands that dry up quickly. Since we use our hands a lot, they are exposed to a lot of surfaces in the span of a day. Because of this amount of heavy exposure, they are exposed to quite a number of elements that might irritate them. This is especially problematic for people with sensitive skin. Itching, rashes, and other common conditions come with sensitive skin. Of course, you can wear gloves but they look really awkward and are not really very practical. Ahava hand cream offers a protective layer over your skin that not only protects it from irritants but also moisturizes your skin. This hand cream provides great relief because it uses witch hazel extracts. Witch hazel has traditionally been used as a skin balm and it continues to work to the present day as it provides skin relief to a new generation of users with sensitive skin. Listed below are the main reasons why ahava hand cream is a great option for sensitive skin.
Every item in the formulation of ahava hand cream has been screened to ensure that it doesn't cause allergic reactions. You would think that this would be standard procedure for all hand cream products. Unfortunately, it isn't. While some active ingredients found in other products might be very effective, if they cause allergic reactions or tend to enable such reactions, their usefulness is quite limited since not all users can benefit from them. Ahava hand cream is formulated to help as wide a range of consumers suffering from sensitive skin. That's why all its ingredients are filtered for allergic properties.
Any hand cream can moisturize. However, not all hand creams can revitalize your skin even if you have very sensitive skin. Ahava hand cream revitalizes and refreshes your skin. It also helps smoothen your skin. Packed with witch hazel and allantoin, ahava cream does the job of several hand creams in one package. From keeping your skin well-moisturized so it doesn't crack or dry, this cream also revitalizes your skin so it keeps your skin's self-healing properties at optimal levels. This translates to well moisturized skin with less blemishes. Moreover, of the moisturizing component of this cream ensures your skin is well-moisturized longer and deeper than other popular hand cream brands.

UN Chief Calls on Religious Leaders to Unite in the Fight Against COVID-19
AMT TanimuApril 11, 2020 3:17 pm 0
António Gutteres made the call in a special appeal is issued on Saturday, and at a time of when Christians are celebrating Easter, Jews are marking Passover, and Muslims will soon begin the holy month of Ramadan.
"We have always known these occasions to be moments of community. Of families coming together. Of hugs and handshakes and the gathering of humanity. But this is a time like no other", he said.
Globally, there have been more than 1.5 million cases of COVID-19 and over 90,000 deaths, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).
The new coronavirus disease has ushered in what the UN chief described as "a strange, surreal world". Streets are silent, storefronts are shuttered and places of worship are empty in efforts to contain its spread.
It is also a world where "we are worried about our loved ones who are equally worried about us", he continued, before wondering "how do we celebrate at a time like this?"
In the spirt of this holy period, the Secretary-General encouraged people everywhere to use this as a time for reflection, remembrance and renewal.
"As we reflect, let us spare a special thought for heroic health workers on the frontlines battling this awful virus – and for all those working to keep our cities and towns going", said Mr. Guterres.
This is also time to remember "the most vulnerable of the vulnerable around the world": people in war zones, refugee camps, slums and other areas least equipped to fight the virus.
"And let us renew our faith in one another and draw strength from the good that is gathering in troubled times as communities of diverse faiths and ethical traditions unite to care for one another", he added.
"Together, we can and will defeat this virus – with cooperation, solidarity, and faith in our common humanity".

The Wantage Tramway closed in 1946 and yet it still generates considerable interest, even though there can be very few people alive now who have any memories of it in operation. The author's original book was published by Wild Swan in 1981 and was intended as a largely pictorial complement to the standard history published over twenty years previously by Selwyn Pearce-Higgins.
This expanded second edition is an affectionate portrait by the author, incorporating some social history rather than a blow-by-blow account of the formal history and technical details of the line. It includes new material on day-to-day operation along with additional photographs and drawings to illustrate the appearance of the line.

DKNY SoHo Store
Story: Rudy Lee
Walk down any New York City street and among the storefronts, there is one thing you are sure to happen upon: a building boarded with plywood that, if taken down, reveals a work in progress inside. Perhaps the concrete walls are intact or covered with bare Sheetrock. Maybe brick peeps through a peeling paint job. Whatever the case, if these walls could talk, they would murmur the same ethos: the evolutionary spirit of New York City that is as ubiquitous as it is unique.
This is precisely what Maxwell Osborne and Dao-Yi Chow, the newly minted creative directors of DKNY, had in mind for the brand's SoHo location. One of the designers' earliest memories of DKNY is the SoHo Wall on Houston Street; more than a wall, it became a landmark for them. The same can be said of this redesigned 480-square-metre space that extends from West Broadway to Thompson Street. The interiors were crafted in collaboration with Swedish architect Andreas Bozarth Fornell, whose portfolio includes Acne Studios, Sandro, and Opening Ceremony. The store is more than a microcosm for the city that has inspired the iconic house both past and present; it serves as the foundation for yet another fixture on its streets—the uniform-clad DKNY woman.
Half-painted drywall speaks not only to the tension between construction and deconstruction, but mirrors the reconstruction of a DKNY classic: the pinstripe power suit. The designers' take on traditional tailoring for their debut collection emphasizes the female form—strong shoulders, cinched waists, wide peak lapels. But in the spirit of juxtaposition, there is no tough without tender. Pleating and draping techniques add femininity to exaggerated silhouettes while satins and silks soften unfinished hems and fraying edges. Every aspect of the space—sheer drapery, sisal carpeting, climbing greenery—gives an added layer of dimension that speaks volumes of the dualities the designers intend to explore in this next chapter for the brand.
Also part of this is a continuing support for women in the arts, a tenet of the house since its founding in 1984. Hence the New Women's Project, an enterprise in partnership with the New Museum that will provide a platform for five international artists to exhibit. After all, women inspire the work of the New York–born and –bred boys, who have also dedicated a section of the retail space (once home to Mary Boone Gallery) to showcase collaborations with artists.
The environment the designers have created pays homage to the great women of DKNY's history while shaping the even greater women of tomorrow, and takes its inspiration from the material gestures definitive of a city that is always under construction. True to the vision for its reimagined store, DKNY will remain a work in progress—just like the city it was born in, and to which it wholly belongs.
Stay in Style here.

Characterization of the products of the genes SNO1 and SNZ1 involved in pyridoxine synthesis in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Dong YX1, Sueda S, Nikawa J, Kondo H.
Department of Biochemical Engineering and Science, Kyushu Institute of Technology, Iizuka, Japan.
Genes SNO1 and SNZ1 are Saccharomyces cerevisiae homologues of PDX2 and PDX1 which participate in pyridoxine synthesis in the fungus Cercospora nicotianae. In order to clarify their function, the two genes SNO1 and SNZ1 were expressed in Escherichia coli either individually or simultaneously and with or without a His-tag. When expressed simultaneously, the two protein products formed a complex and showed glutaminase activity. When purified to homogeneity, the complex exhibited a specific activity of 480 nmol.mg(-1).min(-1) as glutaminase, with a Km of 3.4 mm for glutamine. These values are comparable to those for other glutamine amidotransferases. In addition, the glutaminase activity was impaired by 6-diazo-5-oxo-L-norleucine in a time- and dose-dependent manner and the enzyme was protected from deactivation by glutamine. These data suggest strongly that the complex of Sno1p and Snz1p is a glutamine amidotransferase with the former serving as the glutaminase, although the activity was barely detectable with Sno1p alone. The function of Snz1p and the amido acceptor for ammonia remain to be identified.

The AIM NetworkNews and PoliticsScott has a new pamphlet
Scott has a new pamphlet
Written by: Kaye Lee
PM Scott Morrison
Category: News and Politics
Kaye Lee
As Coalition politicians flood the airwaves holding up Scott's new pamphlet like kindergarteners proudly displaying a participation certificate, all I can think of is how much did it, and the roadshow to sell it, cost.
Seriously guys, another glossy brochure?
Scott earnestly tells us how concerned he is about our kids.
"Half of all Australians of voting age will have never experienced a recession in their working lives" intones the economic manager in chief. "I don't want them to learn how important a strong economy is to each and every single one of them by having them endure the cruel lessons of a weaker economy that would occur under the Labor party," he said.
"The economy" may have been growing for 28 years but, as far too many people are painfully aware, that growth has not been shared. Is Scott unaware that one in eight adults and more than one in six children are living in poverty, and many of those are living in "deep poverty"? They endure daily the cruel lessons of an economy which favours the wealthy.
Every move made by the Coalition is designed to reward investors, clinging to the belief that that will somehow magically translate into bounty for all. But as we have seen, investors get very narky if asked to share any of their gains.
They also claim to be creating jobs by helping small business through tax cuts, instant asset write-offs, and a reduction in penalty rates. All well and good except 61.2% of all businesses don't employ anyone. Over 70% of the businesses that do employ someone have between 1 and 4 employees. In order to be able to buy new equipment, you have to have the spare cash in the first place and, more importantly, the increased demand from customers to warrant the investment.
Back in 1985-86, the top income tax rate was 60c for every dollar over $35,000. The corporate tax rate from 1973 to 1988 was in the range 45-49%.
Successive governments since then have reduced taxation rates and increased tax concessions for investors and big businesses.
CEOs' remuneration packages have increased exponentially. Company profits have reached record highs. Property investors and self-funded retirees have set up very comfortable nest eggs through largely untaxed income and discretionary trusts are flourishing as another way for the wealthy to disguise their income to avoid paying taxation.
At the other end of the scale, over 670,000 people who want to work remain unemployed and the labour underutilisation rate is 13.4% according to the ABS.
The government pursues welfare recipients mercilessly through their robodebt debacle, their draconian compliance regime for unemployment benefits, infantilising people through cash management programs, and increased red tape for disability pension recipients.
Now, more than ever, we should remember the words of Robert Kennedy fifty years ago…..
Even if we act to erase material poverty, there is another greater task, it is to confront the poverty of satisfaction – purpose and dignity – that afflicts us all.
Too much and for too long, we seemed to have surrendered personal excellence and community values in the mere accumulation of material things. Our Gross National Product, now, is over $800 billion dollars a year, but that Gross National Product – if we judge the United States of America by that – that Gross National Product counts air pollution and cigarette advertising, and ambulances to clear our highways of carnage.
It counts special locks for our doors and the jails for the people who break them. It counts the destruction of the redwood and the loss of our natural wonder in chaotic sprawl.
It counts napalm and counts nuclear warheads and armored cars for the police to fight the riots in our cities. It counts Whitman's rifle and Speck's knife, and the television programs which glorify violence in order to sell toys to our children.
Yet the gross national product does not allow for the health of our children, the quality of their education or the joy of their play. It does not include the beauty of our poetry or the strength of our marriages, the intelligence of our public debate or the integrity of our public officials.
It measures neither our wit nor our courage, neither our wisdom nor our learning, neither our compassion nor our devotion to our country, it measures everything in short, except that which makes life worthwhile.
And it can tell us everything about America except why we are proud that we are Americans.
If this is true here at home, so it is true elsewhere in world.
And nowhere is it more true than in a country that would sacrifice the Great Barrier Reef for profits for foreign coal companies. A country that would endanger its water resources for the profits of foreign agribusinesses and mining companies. A country that would hold traumatised children hostage to deter others from asking for our help. A country that ignores a Statement from the Heart of its Indigenous people inviting us to move forward together towards a life of dignity for all. A country whose elderly languish in inadequately staffed nursing homes.
We must do better.

Good stuff again Kaye. Where's the glossy brochure on positive policies on climate change? A one pager at best along with the benefits of a fifth rate NBN, the undoubted proven benefits of a trickle down economy and the benefits of cotton farming et al.

Sadly our leaders do not speak in the tongue of Robert Kennedy, who already fifty years ago worried about the loss Redwood forests…
Our leaders are prosaic , mundane…what's poetry, song, music, art…it's manna that matters to them, kick ball, scull a beer….
Kaye Lee February 1, 2019 at 12:12 pm
It makes me cry to read those words helvityni. So much lost and wasted in the pursuit of greed. So much potential unrealised. So much unnecessary heartache.

Love the quote from Bobby Kennedy – I was just remembering the other day about the moment I heard of his assassination. What a loss to the USA.
None of our politicians has this level of integrity and forethought for the future of our country, our planet.
Adrianne Haddow February 1, 2019 at 12:50 pm
I'm going to have to stop reading news from leftist publications such as the Guardian, Independent Australia, AIMN….. my faulty high blood pressure cannot take it.
I spend my days seething with anger at the LNP/IPA measures which are bleeding our country, its citizens, our rivers and our resources dry. Not to mention the systemic corruption which seems to be their stock in trade.
The slack is picked up by charitable organisations, run largely on volunteer labour , while these 'oiks in suits' on large salaries swan around spending the public purse to try and sell the myth of the benefits of their 'superior stewardship'.
Enough….. bring on the election and vote the bastards out. And never let them come back!
Adrianne,
I know how you feel. Three more months. Tell the young ones. Tell anyone who will listen. Maybe then we can have a rest. I so hope Labor will let us.
Kronomex February 1, 2019 at 1:05 pm
Scummo's glossy, "Look at me, I'm on the cover." pamphlet should come with the following warning –
"Please be aware that what is printed between the covers has no bearing on reality outside of the LNP."
Oh joy, and we still have months of being carpet bombed by LNP lies and dirt and obfuscation.
New England Cocky February 1, 2019 at 1:11 pm
You have said it all Kaye Lee. BRING ON THE FEDERAL ELECTION!!!
Kaye Lee February 1, 2019 at 1:12 pm
Kronomex,
I laughed to myself about the photo. They normally have "the team" but who the hell knows who's still on the team. I have this vision of them printing a cover with Julie Bishop, scrap that, Kelly O'Dwyer, scrap that, Michael Keenan and Nigel Scullion, scrap that….and he can't have very well have Tony or P Duddy since they both think they will be leader after the next election. And Matthias and Greg and the others who voted for the Spud can't really get a call-up. Josh might be at saturation level and no-one knows who the hell McCormack, Taylor and Price are. I know….let's just have me this time. Can you do something about the hair though?
Frank Smith February 1, 2019 at 1:14 pm
Our country is in a mess – the whole world is in a mess. There has not been a true Statesman with vision and the capacity to articulate that vision and lead a nation since Nelson Mandela. Look at the pathetic leadership here, in the USA, in the UK and the despots in Russia, the Philippines, Turkey, Brazil, Hungary. And meanwhile our planet is being plundered and destroyed by greed.
helvityni February 1, 2019 at 1:17 pm
Good on ya, Adrianne, you put it so well; luckily my blood pressure is on the low side…
I cried of anger and sadness when I saw the report on 7.30 re some shitty private colleges , dragging poor unemployed people to their schools of NO-learning…then hitting them with big bills….
No doubt according to Scomo those Colleges are having a go…having a go of making money….not a go of educating the young vulnerable ones…

A most hearty "second" to all the comments above … and a big thumbs up for the article itself. Kaye Lee … you are certainly one of the most succinct commentators on the current scene. LC Jauncey would be proud.
Kaye Lee,
Your comment (@1.12 PM) reminded me of the current craze and madness in comic books; variant covers. I can see the following –
Covers (just to name a few) –
1A – Scummo.
1B – Friedeggburger.
1C. Duttonuci.
1D. Pynebox.
1E. Paynefullyknowsnothing.
1F. Grhunt.
1G. Corminnator.
And the list goes on…
Then there could be second, more exclusive printings –
2A. Rainbow Foil Scummo with Gold Halo.
2B. Friedeggburger Talking to His Parrot, Mathematics Professor Polly.
2C. Duttonuci Smiling.
2D. Pynebox in One with the Nailed Shut.
Again, the list gows on…
Oh yes, to finish with a bit of trivia about the lunacy with variant covers in comics. The current holder of most variation covers is The Amazing Spider-Man #666 (September 2011) with 145 different covers. Absolute idiocy!
Stevn February 1, 2019 at 2:41 pm
I don't think people realise the impact that the religious books, CONDONING SLAVERY has in the thinking process of the LNP.
"Entitled" isn't a strong enough word to describe what they aim to achieve.
2000 years ago there was basically 2 types of people. Those that were rich(owners of slaves) and those that were poor (slaves). And all that an owner had to provide was shelter and food.
This is a horribly dangerous way to think, because they are FULLY justified in trying to strip everything from the poor. God clearly condones that!
I think that if Australians actually realised that this is the thought process behind these people, we would be rid of the LNP, permanently.
I would be interested in your thoughts on how we go about educating the people Kaye.
Stephegb February 1, 2019 at 2:53 pm
I know this is a little off topic, which I might add is brilliant Ms Kaye, but it bought to my mind the following which I offer merely as my thoughts.
Many AIMN readers are enjoying the spectre of a crushing defeat of the LNP (I am too). BUT just remember that every time you or I post something here or on social media counting our chickens before they hatch, we actually help the LNP. It brings out the trolls who just love to repeat the LNP propaganda rhetoric.
I fear that treating this coming federal election as a foregone conclusion we risk encorouging those who would just not bother to vote, because they think it doesn't matter – Labour will win – it's a shoo-in, so don't bother.
We need to remember that at the last federal poll whilst Labor did well they lost. They did well because they were the underdog, people went out and voted, BUT even after the chaos of Abbott and the dysfunction of the LNP, the LNP stayed in power.
This coming election is NOT a 'shoo-in', it is not rigged by the chaos of the LNP by any means, the Right supporters are the 80% of small and medium businesses, the mining conglomerates, those employed by multinationals, those employees who are brainwashed wannabe high flyers, the white supremacists, the racists and the bully boys who believe the LNP stands for them. The only way the ALP will win is for the swinging voters to vote ALP and are therefore are prone sticking with the devil they know or just not bothering becausec of complacency.
I know you might think that posting highly charged positive messages about an LNP rout might be demoralizing to the LNP supporters, but in fact I believe it makes the LNP the underdog, spurring their supporters whilst helping the complacent to be complacent, remember even the died in the wool ALP voters can be complacent, let alone the swinging voters and the ones who really just can't be bothered!
My thought is that we on AIMN get out on facebook in particular and counter the LNP propaganda machine because it has started with avenge and it has only just begun.
We need to do our bit for the ALP case, because it is still only a two horse race.
Vote ALP
Stevn,
People come to an interest in politics in their own time and for their own reasons.
Many of our politicians were educated by Jesuits. The founder, St Ignatius of Loyola (and namesake of the school which educated Abbott and Joyce), wrote:
"The enemy is like a woman, weak in face of opposition, but correspondingly strong when not opposed. In a quarrel with a man, it is natural for a woman to lose heart and run away when he faces up to her; on the other hand, if the man begins to be afraid and to give ground, her rage, vindictiveness and fury overflow and know no limit."
"We should always be prepared so as never to err to believe that what I see as white is black, if the hierarchic Church defines it thus."
He was also, probably falsely, attributed with the Jesuit maxim:
"Give me the child for the first seven years and I will give you the man"
Stephegb,
I think they may have been taught to underestimate women and children.
Geoff Andrews February 1, 2019 at 3:15 pm
Very elegantly expressed.
I tried to sound the same warning a couple of weeks ago but it was misinterpreted.
I can see no advantage in trumpeting a victory prematurely. There's a reason why combatants try to claim the underdog status.
Being quietly confident is preferable to over-confident boasting.
Kaye.
I agree, women are clearly beneath men in the texts. But those sentiments are just a furthering of the slavery sentiment.
We don't pay enough attention to the mindset that has been created by the condoning of slavery in all the different religious texts..
Slavery was outlawed officially, but the sentiment still remains.

I just finished watching a couple of episodes of The Young Ones (Bomb and Sick) when the following the two Alexei Sayle lines, paraphrased, that fitted nicely with Scummo :
"Didn't you knife our Turnbull?" and
"'Ullo Scott! Gotta new pamphlet?"
David Bruce February 1, 2019 at 7:32 pm
The Economy is for the benefit of our ponzi, usurious banking system! How much has Australia borrowed from the IMF etc?
As you rightly point out, The Economy does not deliver prosperity to all!
Earlier this year, the prime minister of one of our south pacific island neighbours conducted a forum to determine when and how his country would get the benefits of a stronger economy.
Economic growth had delivered a love of money, increases in youth unemployment, teenage pregnancies, domestic violence, family breakdowns (divorces) and drug and alcohol abuse.
When I hear the words economy, economist and The Economist, I know it is for the benefits of the IMF, World Bank, Bank of International Settlements, the Reserve Banking System and commercial or investment banks.
The economy is right up there with astrology in terms of pseudo-science for boom and bust cycles, austerity and wage slavery.
As I recall, it was a Labor government in Australia which helped Australians survive the GFC?
Every western country appears to be living on credit to sustain the lifestyle, so it will be interesting to see what happens when Trump devalues the US dollar?
I wonder if ScuMo copied this pamphlet?
Edward Bernays built up the image of Guatemala's new president Carlos Castillo Armas, giving advice for his public appearances both in Guatemala and in the US. In 1956, Bernays produced a pamphlet comparing the Communist way and the Christian way…
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Bernays
David Bruce,
" How much has Australia borrowed from the IMF "
Ummmm….nothing. We have lent them money.
As part of a global response, Australia has committed to lend the IMF SDR4.4 billion, if required, under a multilateral borrowing arrangement, and has pledged a further SDR4.6 billion under a bilateral arrangement (currently equivalent to A$6.4 billion and A$6.8 billion, respectively). These commitments made by Australia are contingent loans to the IMF itself, not directly to those countries that borrow from the IMF. When Australia lends to the IMF, the associated risks are judged to be low, with the IMF having a number of safeguards in place to protect country contributions. As a result, Australia's outstanding lending to the IMF, referred to as Australia's Reserve Position at the IMF, is classified by the IMF as a reserve asset.

""I'm going to be pretty honest with people. I am going to talk to people pretty bluntly about what is coming and I don't want them to wake up a year later and go 'oh, oh I really didn't think that was going to happen'. If you want to vote Labor, understand what it will mean.""
Which as we all know means lie and lie and scare and lie, ad nauseam. The LNP never changes, when you are a party of nothing lie, scare, cheat, frighten, promise the moon and deliver night soil.

New England Cocky February 2, 2019 at 10:35 am
@Stephgb: A timely warning indeed. The exposure of the too many flaws in the NLP misgovernment allows the unelected political hacks who control pre-selection, to rectify those flaws, using the enormous political donations made without immediate accountability; remember Turdball and the $1.75 MILLION personal political donation to save Toxic RAbbott in Warringah in 2016? (I wonder whether Toxic will put in for his own re-election in place of the Turball millions?)
In New England the women of Tamworth who support Adultery still support Joyce. Does that make Tamworth the Country Adultery Capital?

Former pupils of what is now Myton School attended an event to mark the 60th anniversary of its first sports day.
Thanks to the efforts of David Vaughan and Raymond West in tracking down fellow alumni, 20 former Oken School pupils who took part in the sports day in 1955 happily accepted Myton's invite to the event.
Mr West said: "Dave Walker, the Head of Boys PE at Myton along with David Vaughan, a former Oken pupil formulated the plan.
"I was only too glad to get involved once again and I immediately began the very difficult task in finding former pupils. David Vaughan, Diana White and also Gordon Bigham helped to find a number of them especially when the trails had gone cold.
"David had some beautiful new 'Oken' sports vests especially made and I set about constructing a nice, glossy brochure, which featured items from the very first Sports Day event.
The event took place at the Edmondscote sports ground in Leamington, took place on June 17.
The former pupils were welcomed by Myton's headmaster Paul MacIntyre and sports staff.
Refreshments were provided to the group, some of whom had not seen each other since they had attended Oken School, while they chatted about old times.
Mr West said: "I was impressed that David Coleman had travelled from Kent to be here and I guess that the overall efforts made by the former pupils, showed their continuing love and appreciation of Oken School.

Shreveport Little Theatre to Offer Adult Acting Classes Via Zoom Beginning July 11
With all that's going on in the world, lots of organizations and businesses in Shreveport-Bossier—and everywhere else, for that matter—have been forced to get creative and re-imagine the way that they do things. For Shreveport Little Theatre, one of America's longest-running community theatres, the ongoing COVID-19 restrictions on in-person events like live theatrical performances have pushed them to try something they've always wanted to try: virtual acting classes for adults.
Like Shreveport Little Theatre Academy on Facebook.
The classes will be taught via Zoom by Dr. Ray Scott Crawford, dean of communications and performing arts at Bossier Parish Community College. Typically, Dr. Crawford spends summers as artistic director of the Canterbury Summer Theatre in Michigan City, IN, where he has produced more than 175 musicals and comedies in 35 years. However, due to the cancellation of summer events, Dr. Crawford found himself with unexpected availability this summer.
The classes will be held on Saturdays, 11 a.m.-12:30 p.m., July 11 through Aug. 15. There will be a final performance on Aug. 22. Cost for the entire series of classes is $125, and anyone interested may register here.
"So many community actors have expressed an interest in working with Ray Scott, so I asked if he'd be interested in offering an adult acting class via Zoom, and he was," said Laura Beeman Nugent, artistic director of Shreveport Little Theatre Academy. "He's got his whole class mapped out with exercises, monologues, musical theatre pieces, and on-camera work."

The cost to attend averages out to something like $15 per class, which is incredible.
"We're not trying to make a ton of money, we want to offer quality training that anyone can afford," Beeman Nugent said.
Beeman Nugent stressed that these classes are for any adult who is interested in acting. Attendees do not have to be established members of Shreveport-Bossier's community theatre scene. She imagines that, for lots of folks, taking the first step and learning to perform in the presence of strangers is challenging.
"Some people are intimidated by being raw and vulnerable with other people in the room, so this could be a great opportunity for people like that to dip their toes in the water of acting," she said.

Today we will be working on some basic core strength through Bird Dog and Front Rack Squats with a heavy Medicine Ball. By holding a load like a heavy Medicine ball in the front rack position, we are working on maintaining strength and structure through the core under stress and load. This transfers into our work on the rowers and we will again take a look at our basic rowing mechanics as a warm-up to our workout.

To satisfy the many customer requests for his mallet, Rob decided to put it into production. A 2-1/2"-diameter (centerline) Bubinga head, full length Ash handle, hockey-style taped grip and weight close to 3/4 lb. make this mallet a pleasure to use. Based on years of experience, Rob developed this mallet in the size, weight and hardness to create intricate dovetail joinery. This mallet also serves well as a carving or general shop mallet.

The Google Chromecast began arriving in early buyers' homes this week, and although our first instinct was to play random Vevo and YouTube videos in the conference room during breaks, we quickly realized the power of long, hypnotic videos. Armed with DTNY's newly remodeled office, and with our TV sitting in a golden frame, we could think of nothing better but to use Chromecast to broadcast 10-hour buffer videos and bring a little life to our busy workroom. Who needs 15-second Instagram videos when you have the power of YouTube? If you work in a small office or need a video to leave on as a party decor, look no further than the following six suggestions.
A holiday classic. The Digital Trends office experienced a cold, rainy afternoon the day this idea popped up, so we thought that if we put a wood-burning log on the television screen, somehow everyone would magically feel warmer. Chromecast hypnosis at its finest! Plus it made our office feel super cozy.
When you work on the Internet all day long, it is a requirement to accept, love, and appreciate cats and their Roomba-riding ways. Leave this video up when the office needs a little laugh, or if you want to distract everyone from working. Trust us, it works impeccably well.
Absolutely nothing is more majestic than fireworks. Regardless of season or state legality, this video provides 10-whopping-hours of technicolor to wow you and your coworkers into creative inspiration. Even without the popping sounds, they're beautifull to look at, especially when you need to divert your eyes away from the computer for a quick rest. You can pick up your jaws now.
You can't troll the office without a little meme action, so we're including the Epic Sax Guy as our pick since it's probably the only musical video we can attempt to tolerate for 10 whole hours. Look at his pizzazz, his music making. It's something we all should aspire to one day, but hopefully in 1080p. Who needs a receptionist when you've got this guy?
Street Fighter fans know the theme song for Guile's stage is one of the most epic video game music to ever exist. And the best part? It syncs with virtually any video you could possibly envision. If you don't believe us, Chromecast that baby onto your television screen and watch as 600 minutes disappear right before your eyes. We obviously picked the KFC commercial guy because he's just so dang joyous, but there are plenty of playlists on YouTube that lists various videos in which Guile's song makes an appropriate appearance.
We understand that not everyone can retain their attention for more than a minute, so we thought we'd sneak in a six-second vine to keep those with minimal attention span on the loop. See what we did there? Alright, back to work.

QLD's $300 million rail pipeline deal
Infrastructure Journalist, December 10, 2019 December 10, 2019 , Investment, News, Planning, Policy, Project, QLD, Rail, Regional, 0
The Queensland Government has signed an agreement that commits to a $300 million pipeline of local rail manufacturing over the next decade.
Queensland Premier, Annastacia Palaszczuk, said the agreement between Queensland Rail and Downer will see major projects like the overhaul of electric and diesel Tilt Trains, as well as the IMU160 and SMU260 fleet brought to Maryborough.
More than 2,000 railcars and locomotives have been built by Downer since the business first opened in 1869 and the first order to build steam locomotives for the Queensland Government was received in 1896.
"The first locomotive for the government was trialled in January 1897 – drawing quite the crowd along Kent Street – and more than 500 more were built up until 1958," Ms Palaszczuk said.
"It's an incredible and proud history for a local industry which has provided critical infrastructure for Queensland and, importantly, sustained thousands of local jobs over the years.
"From the Maryborough workshop, Downer EDI has designed and built our Tilt Trains and delivered hundreds of units for our suburban and interurban rail network.
"The next decade brings new opportunities and a new era for Downer and for Maryborough as work begins to make Queensland's fleet of New Generation Rollingstock trains disability compliant."
Ms Palaszczuk said that Downer will bring 14 apprentices onboard in 2020 – the largest local intake in the company's history.
"This is an incredible investment in education, development and the future of our skilled workforce.
"The Downer workshop is the beating heart of this city and it supports hundreds of families and locals.
"Through the decades its manufacturing excellence has kept our state on-track and powering ahead."
Member for Maryborough Bruce Saunders said rail building is in the city's DNA and that the MoU would ensure vital rail manufacturing projects would be built by Queenslanders, for Queenslanders.
"This just proves Mary's making a comeback, and why I'll always put Maryborough first," Mr Saunders said.
Transport and Main Roads Minister, Mark Bailey, said the Queensland Governemnt is committed to rail manufacturing jobs in the Heritage City.
"Downer's workshops today are home to more than 250 employees, recently welcoming its largest ever intake of apprentices," Mr Bailey said.
"It's the Palaszczuk Government that locked in $278 million in Queensland Rail maintenance and upgrade works for Maryborough workers and Downer since 2016."

When antiques dealer and interior decorator Robert Kime's late wife, Helen Nicoll, fell ill, the couple made the decision to buy a home in the Lake District, near where she grew up. The author of the Meg and Mog children's books, she was also a pioneer of audiobooks.
In 2008 they bought Docker Nook, an 18th-century farmhouse in Longsleddale, about five miles north of Kendal. "I'd spotted an advert for the house in the back of a newspaper but it was Helen who saw its potential," explains Kime, who counts the Prince of Wales among his clients, having decorated both Clarence House and Highgrove.

View Full Version : Round 3 Tariff announced.
US Trade Representative Thomas Lighthizer has published the new list of proposed items (valued at $200 Billion) to be charged an extra 10% tariff on goods imported from China. There are about 6000 HTS Codes on this list, and as it concerns us, it includes an extensive number of wood and wood products, as well as a similar number of builders supplies.
This is a proposed list and will be subject to 90 days of public comment as well as hearings. If you wish to comment or attend a hearing, the detailed instructions and deadlines are available at the website of the US Trade Representative. If you want to comment, the initial deadline for filing a request is July 27, 2018.
The initial proposed 25% tariff on $34 Billion in goods was a list of about 1300 items. After the hearings it was reduced to 818 items, and went into effect July 6, 2018. This is about a 35% reduction in HTS Codes, so they appear to be open to reason.
The second list covers 284 items valued at $16 Billion and the hearings are in progress now with a closing date of probably mid-September.
This third list (of 200 pages) plus the initial two lists are also available on the US Trade representative website.
I hate to think what they would have to do to not be open to reason.
Probably the only "public" the Trade Representative will hear from are the lobbyists. I suppose very few individuals or small businesses will bother to comment, but one can hope. I meant reason in the broadest of definitions.

5 Joyous Moments Shattered By Shootings This Week
"Wow, I think I've been shot!"
By Jennifer Mascia
An average of 110,000 people are shot every year in America. That works out to roughly 32 gun homicides, 60 gun suicides, and about 215 gun assaults and unintentional shootings every day. Many of those shootings are the result of disputes made fatal or life-threatening by the availability of ready firepower. But as we have been reminded during these first days of May, the scale of the gun violence problem in the United States means that bullets also fly at random in broad daylight, bystanders sometimes become targets, and happy gatherings can end in bloodshed.
At a poolside birthday party in San Diego, surrounded by palm trees: Seven people shot, one fatally.
It was a sparkling Sunday evening, the air a perfect 78 degrees. The 49-year-old gunman, a beer in one hand, opened fire from his patio chair. During the rampage, he called his ex-girlfriend so she could hear the shooting. Blood from his victims pooled under an umbrella table covered with food set out for sharing.
La Jolla Crossroads, San Diego
Near the sweeping lawn of proud stone church in Montgomery, Alabama: A 14-year-old girl shot dead.
The ringing of the final bell sent children spilling into a warm afternoon on the first day of May. Ja'Querria Timmons stood outside a Baptist church, waiting with her cousin for a ride home. A student from another school walked up; words were exchanged; a single shot was fired, striking Ja'Querria in the chest. An ambulance whisked the teenager away from the green grass and into the sterile hospital ward where she would succumb to her wounds.
St. James Missionary Baptist Church No. 2, Montgomery, Alabama
On a tree-lined street in Washington, D.C., a stone's throw from the Capitol: A hail of bullets sends evening walkers running for their lives.
The sidewalks were crowded on the southeast side of Capitol Hill. People hustled home from their jobs, Monday in the bag, or out to dates with friends. It was around 6:30 when the neighbors were joined by one or two men armed with rifles. Muzzles flashed as the bullets flew, the shooter or shooters just blasting away, firing at no particular target, police would later say. A father walking with his two young sons ducked his boys behind the shrubs edging a postage-stamp park and hustled them away from danger. By the slimmest of margins, no one was hurt. "If aimed a few inches to the right," the father posted on a community forum, referring to the bullets that had whizzed past him and his boys, "I may not be be writing this today."
Potomac Gardens apartments, Washington, D.C.
At a ballpark in St. Louis: A spectator catches a falling round.
Tuesday night, the middle game of a homestand, and Cardinals fans watch their pitcher carry the team into the eighth inning. A 34-year-old woman cheers from behind the home dugout. From her spot in the good seats, she shouts, "Wow, I think I've been shot!" Raising her arm, she finds a small blood-stained hole in her jacket. Police determine that the .40-caliber bullet had been shot into the air from an intersection half a mile away.
Busch Stadium, St. Louis
In a college art gallery in Irving, Texas: A young woman killed by an armed stalker.
Janeera Gonzalez took a seat in a study area of her campus's fine arts building, where an exhibition of students' works was winding down. She was a senior, which meant that the upcoming final exams were something to both stress out over and to savor. As she sat, a man who had been stalking her approached. Witnesses said he fired three shots, killing her, before fleeing to a locker room and shooting himself in a shower stall.

Q: How to make Pydantic to automatically create a list from an iterable? I have a model:
class MyModel(BaseModel):
    items: List[Item]

    class Config:
        orm_mode = True

And when I try to create instance with this:
my_model = MyModel.from_orm(foo)

pydantic is complaining that foo.items is not a list but it is an iterable so How can I tell pydantic to automatically convert it? I'm currently doing:
foo.items = list(foo.items)
my_model = MyModel.from_orm(foo)

A: Pydantic does not automatically convert arbitrary iterable (but does a generator) to a list. But as usual the validator comes to the rescue:
class MyModel(BaseModel):
    items: List[int]

    class Config:
        orm_mode = True

    @validator('items', pre=True)
    def iter_to_list(cls, v):
        return list(v)

Or in reusable form:
def iter_to_list(v):
    return list(v)

class MyModel(BaseModel):
    items: List[int]

    class Config:

    _items_to_list = validator('items', pre=True, allow_reuse=True)(iter_to_list)

OVER 2 000 cattle have succumbed to tick-borne disease with farmers raising concern that if new supplies of dip stocks were not procured in time, current dip stocks will run out over the next few weeks and trigger more deaths.
In its industry update, Livestock and Meat Advisory Council (LMAC) said the country has lost over 2000 cattle to tick-borne disease this season.
"January disease is another serious problem in cattle, with over 2 000 cattle deaths already recorded from tick-borne disease this season. Farmers are advised to maintain dipping regimes," reads part of the update.
Lands, Agriculture and Rural Resettlement deputy minister, David Marapira, urged farmers to dip their animals regularly.
"Tick-borne disease is caused by people who are not dipping their animals and would like to encourage our farmers to dip their animals," he said.
The disease, is very common during the rainy season due to high tick prevalence that has thrived due to irregular cattle dipping by most farmers.
Last year, the disease claimed hundreds of cattle in Mashonaland East and Mashonaland Central provinces, leaving farmers distraught.
Theileriosis is a disease caused by a species of theileria; a blood-borne parasite that only affects cattle and is primarily transmitted by ticks that feed on cattle.
A single infected tick can spread the disease to another animal through its saliva when it feeds on it.
Symptoms of the disease include, decrease in milk production, depression, weakness and difficulty in breathing for the animal, followed by rapid and shallow breaths.
Affected animals also experience an increased heart rate, and eventually die after two or three weeks.
LMAC said beef cattle, dairy cattle and pig producers were advised to practice strict biosecurity as a preventive measure, as foot and mouth disease can affect all cloven-hoofed animals, with pig and dairy cattle operations most seriously affected.
Currently, the government is battling to contain the outbreak of the deadly FMD which hit Chegutu in Mashonaland West Province, thereby disrupting country's beef supplies.
The government, through the Veterinary Services Department, has since suspended cattle movement into Harare.
