Home Research Topics Internet & Technology Technology Policy Issues Digital Divide
Home broadband adoption, computer ownership vary by race, ethnicity in the U.S.
By Sara Atske and Andrew Perrin

This is one in a series of posts about the digital adoption across different demographic groups in the U.S.
Black and Hispanic adults in the United States remain less likely than White adults to say they own a traditional computer or have high-speed internet at home, according to a Pew Research Center survey conducted Jan. 25 to Feb. 8, 2021. But there are no racial and ethnic differences when it comes to other devices, such as smartphones and tablets.
Eight-in-ten White adults report owning a desktop or laptop computer, compared with 69% of Black adults and 67% of Hispanic adults. Eight-in-ten White adults also report having a broadband connection at home, while smaller shares of Black and Hispanic adults say the same – 71% and 65%, respectively. These gaps have been present across several Center surveys. (There were not enough Asian respondents in the sample to be broken out into a separate analysis.)
Pew Research Center has studied Americans' internet and technology adoption for decades. For this analysis, we surveyed 1,502 U.S. adults from Jan. 25 to Feb. 8, 2021, by cellphone and landline phone. The survey was conducted by interviewers under the direction of Abt Associates and is weighted to be representative of the U.S. adult population by gender, race, ethnicity, education and other categories. Here are the questions, responses and methodology used for this analysis.
By contrast, there are no statistically significant racial and ethnic differences when it comes to smartphone or tablet ownership. Roughly eight-in-ten or more White, Black and Hispanic adults say they have a smartphone, and about half or more in each group say they have a tablet.
Similar shares of Americans with different racial and ethnic backgrounds report having all of the technologies included in the survey. Around four-in-ten White (42%) and Black adults (40%) say they have a smartphone, broadband at home, a desktop or laptop computer and a tablet. Some 35% of Hispanic adults report the same, but this share does not statistically differ from their Black and White counterparts.
When it comes to accessing the internet, mobile devices play a larger role for Hispanic adults compared with White adults. A quarter of Hispanics are "smartphone-only" internet users – meaning they own a smartphone but lack traditional home broadband services. By comparison, 12% of White adults fall into this category. Among Black adults, 17% are smartphone dependent, but this share is not statistically different from their White or Hispanic counterparts.
At the same time, Black adults are more likely than White adults to say a lack of high-speed internet at home leads to certain disadvantages. For example, 63% of Black adults – compared with 49% of White adults – say not having high-speed internet puts people at a major disadvantage when it comes to connecting with doctors or other medical professionals. The share of Hispanic adults (53%) who see this as a major disadvantage does not statistically differ from those of other racial and ethnic backgrounds.
Note: Here are the questions, responses and methodology used for this analysis. This is an update of a post originally published Aug. 31, 2017, and later updated on Aug. 20, 2019, by Andrew Perrin and Erica Turner.

Pipeline #1071: Wildstorm: A Celebration of 25 Years
By Augie DeBlieck - December 29, 2017 05:16 pm EST
(Photo: Jim Lee, DC Entertainment)
There's no way that you could produce an authoritative celebration of WildStorm's comics in 300 (!) pages. There's just way too much stuff to cover.
The new "WildStorm: A Celebration of 25 Years" book does its best to touch on all of the highlights. It creates a fun book, but one that's also occasionally frustrating.
For example: Did we need to see two whole issues of the Mark Millar/Frank Quitely "The Authority" run republished in black and white, when there's so much other stuff left uncovered? Given the amount of "editing" that went on with that story, it does serve as an interesting historical artifact to show all the things DC, at the time, was afraid to show. It's also nice to see Quitely's art in black and white. But devoting 40+ pages to that corner of WildStorm's history seems excessive to me.
The book is an interesting mix of rarities, new stories, and new pin-ups to celebrate the characters and creators of the Image Comics imprint that DC later purchased.
In fact, that's the first thing I noticed about the book: It bends over backwards to avoid saying "Image Comics." Here's the back cover copy:
In 1992 a revolution was kicked off by superstar creator Jim Lee when he launched his game-changing publishing imprint, and the modern comic book market was forever altered. WildStorm Productions would go on to help revolutionize the industry and launch the careers of many top creators....
WildStorm's computer coloring corps is legendary, and was highly influential in the comics universe. The creators it brought to a large audience are legendary. Many of the characters are memorable, though they've all mostly been rebooted or rethought on more than one occasion by now.
That back cover copy looks to be giving Jim Lee the identity and power of Image Comics. WildStorm was a part of Image, which did all those things.
Also, that first sentence is passive tense. Fixing that is so easy, it surprises me that nobody noticed it at DC. (Yes, I realize I just set myself up for corrections to some typo I missed. I apologize and am embarrassed for myself in advance.)
The biggest draw of the book is the number of new short stories commissioned for it. They mostly feature characters from WildStorm looking back at their times earlier in the WildStorm Universe. I'm not sure if that's just coincidence or editorial guidance, but it's there.
Jim Lee draws a new Deathblow story by Brandon Choi that involves the character saving someone who saved him a long time ago. It's a quick five page story, but effective. Lee doesn't stick with his classic Deathblow "Sin City" style. He's using his more usual sketchy style that you might see him using in sketches on Instagram or Twitter. It's much looser and less slick than the usual stuff, and it looks great.
J. Scott Campbell writes and draws a Gen13 short that puts them in current times, before flashing back to 1993. It's a humorous look at how the characters might react to current events, and how they might look now. (Grunge in a man bun? Of course!) If nothing else, it's nice to see Campbell drawing more than just a cover for a change. This must be his first sequential art storytelling work in a decade....
(Photo: Bryan Hitch, Paul Neary, DC Entertainment)
Warren Ellis and Brian Hitch reunite for a new "The Authority" story, set in the era of their original series. It has a bit of Jenny Sparks looking back at her life, lots of Hitch's trademark widescreen art, and good use of Hawksmoor's city fixation to save the day from a gnarly green alien/monster that's threatening everyone. It's also a great team superhero comic involving a smart combination of powers to defeat a specific threat.
Brett Booth writes and draws a new eight page Backlash story. I never read the original series, so I'm not the one to judge this story. If you liked that series, you'll want this book. It looks like it fits right in with the original work.
Christos Gage writes and Dustin Nguyen draws a return to Wildcats 3.0. It's a short discussion between Spartan and Lord Emp that serves to cover their history together, throw a few nice images up to remind us all of how great that series was, and then stop before anything happens. Gage does a good job, but it's too bad Joe Casey didn't write this one, or the "Mister Majestic" story that follows.
Given how the series ended, I'd have loved to see any unpublished scripts or plots that might have been abandoned that might have finished the whole story.
(Photo: Neil Googe, DC Entertainment)
Finally, Dan Abnett writes a story that Neil Googe draws where Mister Majestic has a meeting at the diner with folks from StormWatch and The Authority. It's a story from future Majestic's point of view looking back, but one that, as the introduction accurately describes, has a fair amount of hope to it.
The new stories that I've read have a fair amount of wistfulness and dramatic time shifting narratives, but that's OK. This is a "celebration" book with short stories. They're quick shots of adrenaline for WildStorm fans. It's nice.
The book starts with a reprint of "WildC.A.T.s" #1 that started everything off in the first place. It's printed in its original black and white. That's a fun look back, though I did that already earlier in the year.
I also have to wonder if your average 20 year old might read that issue and not have a clue what that twist ending is. Heck, would a 30 year old even "get" it? Probably not. (25 Year Old Spoiler Alert: Dan Quayle is an alien.)
The more interesting reprint near the end of the book is Jim Lee's second "WildCats" #1, as written by Grant Morrison. I guess it's been long enough now that this project is a forgotten rarity. It's another attempt at rebooting the universe, and it's all we got. Until now.
This hardcover includes Morrison's script for the second issue, as well as his series proposal for 12 issues, with character descriptions. I haven't had time to dive into all of that yet, but as a part time comic book archaeologist, I'm looking forward to it.
This is a good time to point out that there's no table of contents for this book. There is a bare timeline. The book just caroms from one series to the next, one set of characters to the next series. You never know what character you'll be looking at when you next turn the page. Some of those images are new, some are rare alternate covers or unreleased images.
A reminder, once more: This is a "celebration" and not a "complete" history or collection. No "Savant Garde" that I saw, for one example. "Astro City" is the only creator owned project that is mentioned, likely because DC is still publishing it.
Now that I've read the celebration, what I really want to read is "Wild Times: An Oral History of WildStorm Studios." That one has a laundry list of WildStorm talent talking about their time at the studios, often in very uncensored/unedited ways. It's a book that DC didn't publish, so they had the freedom to be more honest.
In the meantime, this is a fun book for fans of any corner of Jim Lee's corner of the WildStorm Universe and, to a lesser degree, the DC/WildStorm Universe. (ABC gets a couple pages, but still gets short shrift in this book. There's a new Gene Ha "Top Ten" pin-up, so I'm happy.)
The book is 300 pages for $30, with no dust jacket. The cover image is printed directly onto the hardcover. There's a digital version of it available on Comixology that might be a better deal for you, if you want a bargain. (Hint: There's a DC sale going on right now...)

LaSalle becomes sole Manager of Encore+
LaSalle Investment Management
Fund GAV currently stands at €1.8bn
CHICAGO and LONDON and SINGAPORE, Nov. 14, 2018 /CNW/ -- LaSalle Investment Management ("LaSalle"), today confirms that it has assumed the sole responsibility for the management of Encore+, the open-ended Continental European real estate fund which has been jointly managed by Aviva Investors ("Aviva") and LaSalle for the last twelve years.
As the existing asset manager of the Fund, and also having shared joint responsibility for marketing, capital raising, client relationships and strategic business planning with Aviva since inception of the Fund, LaSalle is well-equipped to take on sole management of Encore+. The transaction is expected to further streamline the Fund's internal processes and decision making. There are no changes to the terms and offerings to investors.
David Ironside has assumed the role of Fund Manager for Encore+ having been responsible for LaSalle's management, strategy and acquisitions contribution to the Fund for twelve years in his capacity as Head of Acquisitions for Continental Europe and LaSalle's CIO for Continental Europe. Marianne Hemon-Laurens will be the Deputy Fund Manager for the Fund; she has been working on the Fund for ten years and seen the Fund triple in size over this period.
Encore+'s investment strategy will remain the same and focus on improving assets and creating growth by seeking opportunities to actively manage assets to deliver superior income returns. Given the strong demand fundamentals, we believe opportunities remain to add value to assets located in markets with robust long-term trends in demographics, technology and urbanisation. Over the last three months, the Fund has continued to generate strong performance in both absolute and relative terms, and the historic long term returns have consistently been at the top end of its peer group; this is a direct result of our commitment to and success in generating attractive risk-adjusted returns over the long term. Encore+ has been a leading Fund in the IPD PEPFI in terms of performance and it was recently announced as the best performing Fund in the Index for 2017 on both a one and five year basis.
David Ironside, Fund Manager of Encore+, said: "I am delighted to confirm that LaSalle is now the Fund Manager of Encore+. We are committed to maintaining the strategy and we remain well positioned to execute the asset management required to generate the returns in line with the Fund's objectives. Encore+ has continued to be active in the market and to seek attractively priced assets aligned to our strategy. Since the transaction was announced, the Fund has continued to receive additional subscriptions from both existing and new investors."
Simon Marrison, CEO of Europe at LaSalle Investment Management, said: "Encore+ is our flagship fund for Europe and the market-leading performance that we have seen from the Fund will be a great platform for the future. I am delighted that LaSalle has become the sole Fund Manager as I believe that we have the experience, the scale and the ability to strengthen the Fund to help it reach its full potential."

Meghan in New Brands for Wales Engagements
January 18, 2018 by Susan Kelley Leave a Comment
Meghan wore another eclectic mix of fashion brands for her afternoon in Wales with Prince Harry.
Their day of engagements in Cardiff, the capital of Wales, started at the historic Cardiff Castle.
Described as "one of Wales' leading heritage attractions," the Castle website notes the property's background:
Located within beautiful parklands at the heart of the capital, Cardiff Castle's walls and fairytale towers conceal 2,000 years of history.
This is the couple's third joint engagement, and their first appearance together in Wales. It reflects Meghan's interest in learning more about the UK and its people as she continues to think about future charitable endeavors and interests ahead of this May's wedding.
Crowds started gathering early this morning to see the couple.
Things got underway more than an hour late because the couple's train from London was delayed. Wales Online reports that "When the Prince first arrived at the castle he clasped his hands together in front of him as if praying, in a sign of forgiveness, as he was greeted by Morfudd Meredith, the Lord-Lieutenant of South Glamorgan, and said "sorry" for being late."
Staff from Cowshed Marketing shared this picture of Meghan on Twitter, saying "Meghan, you were delightful."

This young lady was eager to meet a "namesake."
She wasn't disappointed, as explained in Simon Perry's People story
Megan McAuley, 10, held up a sign saying "My name is Megan too!" — and it worked. Her namesake spotted it and came dashing across the gravel path outside the castle door to say hello.
"She saw my sign. I said, 'Your name's Meghan too!' And she said, 'It's very nice to meet you. Can I call you Meg?' " said McAuley, who handed her "a nice flowery necklace. She said, 'Thank you for my present. It's very nice to meet you.'"
Meghan was given daffodils, the national flower of Wales.
More about the flowers from The Evening Standard:
Self-confessed royal fanatic Cynthia Osborne presented Kate with a posy of daffodils, the national flower of Wales.
The retired nurse, aged in her 60s, said: "Meghan said 'it's lovely to be in Wales' I asked to see her engagement ring and she held it out and said 'I'm such a lucky lady'."

Two local children presented Harry and Meghan with a gift of a traditional Celtic love spoon.
More about the spoon from The Mirror:
The spoon presented to Prince Harry and Meghan had H&M carved into the handle, the initials of the two schoolchildren and, of course, the married couple to be.
The crafted wooden spoon features a Celtic knot, horseshoe and barley twist said to symbolise eternal love, good luck, and togetherness.
The children's names? Harry and Megan; they both attend Marlborough Primary School in Cardiff.
After greeting many of the well-wishers the couple moved inside where they took part in a Welsh Festival of Culture and met musicians, poets, and leading sports figures. More from BBC Wales:
"As they went inside the castle for the celebration of Welsh culture, Prince Harry told his bride-to-be of his appreciation for Welsh singing. "You are only going to hear the best singing in Wales," he said.
Meghan and Harry listened to a performance by Only Boys Aloud, a Welsh choir featuring boys aged 13 – 19.
Meghan and Harry saw a mix of Welsh food products in a Taste of Wales exhibit. Among the items: a very creative wedding cake made entirely of local cheese, as Richard Palmer shared this photo.
Meghan's reaction to the cake comes via Wales Online:
The couple were also treated to a wedding cake made from Welsh cheese, with Ms Markle exclaiming: "Oh my goodness, how sweet is that".
Both Ms Markle and Harry tasted small pieces of the mature cheddar that made up part of the five-tier cake, which she described as "really delicious".
I believe in this picture they are meeting some of the athletes in attendance.
On the far right, I think you see Welsh football star Nadia Lawrence. Wales Online reports Ms. Lawrence gave them a Wales shirt signed by the women's team, as well as a football signed by the men's team. The coverage also notes that "She described meeting them as "amazing" and "surreal"."
@JessWalford Twitter (click photo to go to feed)
The second stop today was at the Starhub Community Centre, a local rec center. Jessica Walford of Wales Online posted a photo of the couple as they arrived.
Meghan and Harry were at the Centre to see the work of StreetGames Network, a charity Harry has worked with previously that helps bring sports to disadvantaged young people.
They spoke with StreetGames staff and volunteers.
The couple watched some table tennis and spoke with many of the youngsters at the center.
More from ET:
ET spoke with several staff members at Star Hub immediately following the highly anticipated visit, and it was clear that it was a success.
"As soon as they walked in the door, the kids were mesmerized," Center Assistant Dean Maynard tells ET. "A lot of the kids, it takes them quite a bit to actually get involved and interact with other people, so to see them all really smiling and happy and involved, that was a nice feeling for me, personally."
Wales Online reporter Jessica Walford has more:
The charity helps make sport accessible to all young people regardless of their income or social circumstances…[and] has helped 40,000 disadvantaged young people reap the benefits of sport…
Meghan and Harry chatted with girls taking part in a spin class.
Meghan tried her hand at Jenga.
And they watched a street dance class.
The participants are part of the UsGirls program, a StreetGames initiative that works to get young women from all backgrounds involved in sporting activities.
Arguably the cutest moment of the day came after the dance class when Prince Harry said: "Okay, everyone give Meghan a hug."
Everyone give Meghan a big group hug, says Harry! How cute is that?! pic.twitter.com/NGfkMaInd7

Meghan and Harry were in their element and appeared to enjoy every element of the day's schedule.
Now for what Meghan wore in Wales.
Her coat is by British brand Stella McCartney.
The Tie Detail Coat ($1940 as shown at Harrods) is modeled on a traditional tuxedo design, with a fitted bodice, peak lapels and a back vent. The piece is partially lined to allow for "lightweight layering."
One of its most striking elements is the oversized tie in the front.
We expected (both Susans!) to see Meghan wearing Stella McCartney; the brand's sustainable fashion philosophy syncs well with Meghan's outlook. Many thanks to Queen Rania's Closet for her speedy ID of the coat style!
Beneath the coat, Meghan wore a Theory jacket, an American label.
It is made of wool with a touch of elastane for stretch and ease of movement. It zips up the front and is detailed with besom pockets. Originally priced at $495, the piece is still available in very limited sizes for $198 at Theory. A "thank you" to Meghan's Fashion for locating this piece! When speaking with Susan C. last night about today's engagements, she suggested Meghan would wear Hiut Denim; as we saw, she was correct. Meghan wore the Dina style, a high-waisted skinny look (£174, roughly $245 at today's exchange rates). Hiut says this about the Dina: "Creates a classic silhouette. They're understated. A wardrobe staple."
This is another label that makes perfect sense for Meghan. It is a small Welsh brand that has its factory in Wales and hopes to bring more manufacturing jobs back to its community of Cardigan. More from the company's website:
Cardigan is a small town of 4,000 good people. 400 of them used to make jeans. They made 35,000 pairs a week. For three decades.
Then one day the factory closed. It left town. But all that skill and knowhow remained. Without any way of showing the world what they could do.
That's why we have started The Hiut Denim Company. To bring manufacturing back home. To use all that skill on our doorstep. And to breathe new life into our town.
Today Meghan wore a pair of boots by Tabitha Simmons, another UK designer.
This is the 'Kiki' style ($708 at Farfetch) in black velvet. The ankle boots have a point toe, chunky block heel, elasticated side panels and a 4.5″ heel. They are available at Browns ($682). They are also on sale for $325 in a Size 7 at Moda Operandi. Meghan's future sister-in-law, Kate, has worn a Tabitha Simmons style previously, but only twice. Thank you for this fab ID goes to Laura!
Meghan's bag is the Mini Venice by DeMellier London ($395), another British company. The color is likely a nod to the green in the Welsh flag.
The bag is made of calf leather and can be carried over the shoulder, as a cross-body style or by the handle. The style is also available in the Midi Venice size. Some readers may recognize the piece; it is a brand we featured over at What Kate Wore when the company was called Milli Millu. Founder Mireia Llusia-Lindh said today that she is "truly honoured that Meghan is wearing one of our bags, she is a fantastic role model to women all over the world and a great addition to the Royal family."
It is a good choice for Meghan, with structured, tailored pieces that work well with her style aesthetic. Additionally, DeMellier's charitable endeavor A Bag, A Life, would hold appeal. More on that program from one of our WKW posts about the brand: "For every bag that is purchased Milli Millu pays for a set of lifesaving vaccines and treatments for a child in need. The company works with SOS Children's Villages to make this happen." Our thanks to Meghan's Mirror for their bag ID.
For jewelry, Meghan opted to wear two different earrings. On her left ear, she wore a Gabriela Artigas Triple Shooting Star Earring ($286), made of 10K gold. Gabriela Artigas is another boutique brand that would be attractive to Meghan. The company has been in business since 2003, created and managed by sisters Gabriela and Teresita Artigas; it is based in the US. It is carried at Shopbop, at Azalea, and other retailers.
On her right ear, we see one of her previously worn Zofia Day Dash Ear Studs ($575); Meghan was seen in this style on the Vanity Fair cover.
It was fun seeing Meghan mix things up this way with the two different earring styles. A Tip of the Tiara to Michelle of Perth Fashion for identifying the Shooting Star style, everyone was working from fairly small images to try and sort out who made the earring.
It looked like Meghan also had on her Missoma stacking rings. UPDATE FRIDAY JAN 19: If you look at the new photo we found, Meghan's rings don't match the photo precisely. It is the ring on her center finger that doesn't match the Missoma styles we have previously seen Meghan wear. Meghan was actually wearing another piece by Birks. It is the jeweler's Stackable Yellow Gold and Diamond Splash Ring ($1495).
Thank you to Elizabeth of Meghan's Fashion for identifying the ring!
UPDATE FRIDAY JAN 19: We may have found the scarf Meghan wore yesterday. It's very difficult to tell but looking at the photos, it could be Everlane's Cashmere Scarf ($80).
As on her previous engagement with Harry in Brixton, Meghan's hair was in a messy bun.
Emily Cronin, The Telegraph's senior fashion editor, wrote about Meghan's look:
Meghan Markle showcased the power of fashion diplomacy and showcased her commitment to sustainable fashion during an official visit to Cardiff today.
In her life before becoming engaged to Prince Harry, Markle was an activist for charitable causes and sustainability. Today's look demonstrated her resolve to continue those passion projects in her new role.

Council boundaries and amalgamations: Should they change as we grow | The Courier
Council boundaries have been pretty much set in Victoria since former Premier Jeff Kennett introduced widespread amalgamations 25 years ago – but is it time for another look? In late December, Golden Plains Shire councillor Owen Sharkey moved a motion for council officers to investigate what it would take to change the shire's boundaries, and possibly amalgamate with other neighbouring shires. He said at the meeting this was in response to queries from residents – he said frankly that he wasn't sure what the answer was. WATCH THE DISCUSSION FROM 2:18: The questions came in the context of the shire's rating review period, and some residents could see the differences between Golden Plains and nearby Greater Geelong – in costs and services. However, the motion was soundly defeated two to five, with councillor Clayton Whitfield and deputy mayor Helena Kirby speaking against it. Cr Sharkey said the intention of the motion was never for council to take a position on change, but just to investigate how the process would work, if it chose to go down that path in future. The end result, if the motion had passed, would be a briefing for councillors prepared by officers. "I think a report would give us an understanding of what's actually entailed," he said. SEE AN INTERACTIVE MAP OF VICTORIA'S LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA BOUNDARIES HERE "I firmly believe it's something that may not happen whilst we're here, or into the future, but a report would give us a better understanding." Cr Whitfield and Cr Kirby argued it wasn't necessary, noting it was "jumping the gun" to begin thinking about the process while the ratings review went on. "There are possible benefits for localities to be absorbed into our neighboring shires, but amalgamation means not only taking the premium parts of the Golden Plains, but the areas that need a lot of work and infrastructure as well, something the larger shires are likely to shy away from," Cr Whitfield said. "I think realigning of the boundaries would only serve to make a particular area the outlier of their new shire, quite possibly receiving less attention than they do now," "This is and should be a state gov initiative, and not an initiative of Golden Plains Shire, because this is not what our residents are telling us," Cr Kirby added. READ MORE: Stunning remnants of a by-gone civic era: Ballarat's town halls | PHOTOS Cr Sharkey reiterated in reply the motion was just to investigate options, not pursue any. "If there was something to happen, it would be something strategic and over a couple of years … this is one step of a 100 steps." The question of changing up regional and rural shires could become more pressing, as regional towns grow into cities and cities continue to expand. Bannockburn, Golden Plains' main city, is expected to double its population to 13,000 people by 2036, as more people take advantage of its proximity to Geelong – in neighbouring Moorabool Shire, Bacchus Marsh is also experiencing rapid growth. When the boundaries were drawn in the mid-'90s, a team of consultants took dozens of factors into account to make sure each council would be viable. According to one of the architects of the amalgamation plan, Leonie Hemingway, said any change would have to be community-led, but everyone involved would need to understand the implications. "There's a lot involved, and you'd have to be pretty clear that this is the way you'd want it to go," she said. "In our day, one of the simple tests was we did was we got every club and association in the area, in rural areas, and got the postcodes, which gave us an indication of how far out people would come – another one was the economic capacity of the municipality, the capacity to raise rates. "Some councils had good finances, some were very poor – we had to corral debt so ratepayers didn't have to pay the debt for others." There were changes to the initial maps drawn by the state government – for example, Torquay and Anglesea were initially in the City of Greater Geelong, but residents were clear they wanted something different. WHAT DO YOU THINK? HAVE YOUR SAY BELOW "They moved away from the city to be on the surf beach," Ms Hemingway said. "They were living the life they were actually wanting, and why they were there. "Everything was formed around the community and who they were, how they worked, and how they wanted to live. "There's so much to look at, it's not a thing you just do overnight – there's a ripple effect, where you're gaining, the other municipality's losing." All councils must also avoid "the bickering of silly politics", she added. "Local government is not about how far-left or how far-right, it's about how far-sighted it is," she said. "This is for the people of the future, their grandchildren, it's not about whether you get back in again." But say down the track, as the shires around Ballarat continue to grow and change, could there be an effort to adjust borders and welcome smaller towns to a future City of Greater Ballarat? Mayor Daniel Moloney said is "not currently considering any changes". "We'd only consider it seriously if a community was pushing us hard for it, and it doesn't seem like that's the case," he said. "There's been benefits to Ballarat becoming a city, in '93 or '94, we had separate Wendouree and Sebastopol and Buninyong councils back then – it'd be a fairly inefficient model (now), but you also do lose that local touch. "I'm sure there'd be people in my ward alone, in Learmonth, Miners Rest, Cardigan Village, who feel a bit distanced from the municipality, and we need to work had to keep them well-served as part of an already big Ballarat." Ballarat already provides some indirect services to surrounding councils, which is common for regional cities, he added – what is needed is more support for direct services, like additional grants for roads from state and federal governments. "The councils around us have an almost impossible task of trying to maintain services with such small populations," he said. IN THE NEWS "It's something I'm conscious of as chair of Regional Capitals Australia, they're all cities in the 50,000s or 100,000s range of population, but they have a lot of shires around them that don't have the financial capability to deliver everything their residents want – the best model tends to be smaller shires still representing their locals, and government grants to help them navigate challenges, especially the roads. "There's a recognition we have a series of large regional cities that don't just serve that city, they serve the entire region – it's like drawing a 50km ring around Ballarat, and people within that 50km ring will still use Ballarat services." Given the recent media attention on the pandemic-induced exodus from cities to the regions, all eyes will be on the 2021 Census results, expected in mid-year, to see exactly how populations have shifted in the last five years.

Xi warns China will never 'renounce the use of force' regarding Taiwan
To achieve that, the Chinese military should uphold the party's "absolute leadership", modernise its theory, organisation, personnel and weapons, Xi was quoted as saying by the CNN. He pledged to improve the PLA's ability to safeguard national sovereignty, security and development interests, and to "effectively fulfill the mission of the people's army in the new era."
Beijing | Sunday, 16 October 2022 | 03:11 PM 03:11 PM
During his opening speech Sunday morning at the start of the Party Congress, Chinese leader Xi Jinping vowed to speed up efforts to build the People's Liberation Army (PLA) into a "world-class military", local media reported.
To achieve that, the Chinese military should uphold the party's "absolute leadership", modernise its theory, organisation, personnel and weapons, Xi was quoted as saying by the CNN.
He pledged to improve the PLA's ability to safeguard national sovereignty, security and development interests, and to "effectively fulfill the mission of the people's army in the new era."
To do this, the military must build a strong system of strategic deterrence, increase the proportion of combat forces in new areas and deepen military training for real combat, he said.
Xi also raised the possibility of confrontation when discussing democratic Taiwan -- which the Communist Party claims as its territory, despite never having controlled the self-governing island, CNN reported.
"We will continue to strive for peaceful reunification with the greatest of sincerity and the upmost effort, but we will never promise to renounce the use of force and we reserve the option of taking all measures necessary," Xi said.
Xi gave a stern warning on Taiwan during his speech on Sunday, saying China would achieve reunification with the self-governing island by force if necessary.
He added that his words were "directed solely at interference by outside forces and a few separatists seeking Taiwan independence".
China's ruling Communist Party claims Taiwan as its territory, despite never having controlled it.
Xi's remarks on Taiwan drew the greatest level of applause through his speech, which ran just short of two hours, CNN reported.

The H&M Law Firm has great. They have so many convenient locations, and they are amazing to work with. Many dui attorneys in Los Angeles are unreliable. I had a great experience with H&M. They are very attentive to your personal situations, and understand how difficult the DUI is on your life personally speaking. I was working with Nima and Luis - who were both equally great. I highly recommend picking this law firm - having a former DUI prosecutor is a great asset! You know exactly what to suspect, and there are no surprises. The firm was able to get my charges significantly reduced and dropped. I would recommend them to ANYONE for ANYTHING.
No one ever thinks about getting arrested. Ask any normal person, getting arrested for DUI charges is going to be the worst day of your life. I am not a heavy drinker. I rarely drink - and I would never consider drinking and driving. At the time of the incident, I was a straight A student - and had a great job. If you make a mistake, and need a Los Angeles dui attorney - then you need Nima and the H&M Law Firm. I did my research online, and found them. They have amazing reviews online, and after my experience with them - I can definitely confirm they are accurate. The firm is ranked REALLY high, and it's because they are 100% customer service oriented. They are always available. I feel like sometimes they were both my lawyer and psychologist - helping me remain in control when I thought I would get kicked out of school! I was never put on hold, when calling these dui lawyers Los Angeles, and they answered all my questions - with discretion. I don't know if I can ever thank them enough for "getting me out," of the terrible mistake I made!
No one should have to go through the experience of being arrested, after a DUI. It's a terrible mistake, and the cops make you feel even more terrible. Getting arrested, and then put in the back of a cop car, and put in jail next to murderers and other terrible people is a horrible feeling! It traumatizes you, and I cannot thank H&M enough for getting me out of jail. I owe it all to H&M law firm for getting me through it. I owe it to H&M for getting me through this issue. I was worried that this was going to affect my career, and make it so I lost my job. I was worried my life would never be the same again. From the moment I hired H&M, they helped me. They were always available to answer my questions. I never even went to court - they handled every single thing. I thought for sure - that I would have to go to jail. They constantly updated me, and had a ton of experience. I've heard of so many terror stories online of DUI attorneys in Los Angeles who ignore your calls - but I was never placed on hold, and they were always available to explain what was going on. Awesome attorneys, and awesome human beings!
For the first time, I enjoyed a consultation with my an attorney. I dread thinking about attorneys - and I dreaded going into my DUI consultation. I didn't want to go to jail - I was SO scared. Angelo was very straight, and told me many of their members are former DUI Prosecutors - meaning the DUI firm was extremely competent to handle the case. I felt they are very professional, and they answered all my questions. They were prompt about answering my calls - and never put me on hold. Moreover, Nima - the founding partner, was always available to answer any questions I had.
This is a Los Angeles DUI law firm that consists of the top DUI lawyers - all under one roof. I am extremely grateful for this rockstar team of attorneys. Nima, the founding partner - is the best attorney I have met. He is an awesome human being - and is an awesome attorney. He got my case turned into a wet reckless. This is AFTER I blew a .14. My judge told me in front of everyone - that I was VERY lucky that my attorney got me this deal. This showed me that this law firm was extremely talented. I knew Nima was smart from our first conversation, but when the judge said this - I felt SO happy and proud of myself, and my attorney!
It's rare for me to say - I am satisfied with an attorney. I don;t like attorneys, but I was VERY satisfied with the quality and professionalism from the H&M Law Firm. I am extremely happy with the quality of communications. I could call, email, or text, the firm at any time. They always responded to me within 24 hours. Typically, their founding partner: Nima, would reach out to me. He never sounded annoyed. He was always diligent on being clear - and making sure I was fine. He helped me out of a very tough legal situation - which could've ended in a lot of jail time. I was able to avoid jail time, and get away with a slap on the wrist. If you want the best attorney, then you need to consider hiring H&M. No one else is good enough!
After I had my initial consultation, I got a great education about DUI's. I was able to understand what to expect. I gained so much useful information from this consultation that I signed up with them. I appreciated their desire to educate me, so I could understand what might happen. It's amazing how great they were. They got me a great outcome - which I will never forget. I always refer my friends and family to them.
The DUI lawyers Los Angeles at H&M are extremely professional, competent, and amazing. Nima, and his paralegal, Luis, deliver GREAT results. They care about one thing: giving great results - and protecting your life. They are very articulate, and very informative. They got me a great outcome - and I would recommend this firm to anyone in need of the #1 firm. This is who you should call first.
I just had a consultation with Angelo recently. He provided a great consultation, and shared his experience with me on similar clients. I am very glad I decided to go with Angelo, because he got me a great outcome. I had a great experience, and I would hire him again, and again - if I ever have this situation. Getting arrested for DUI is a terrorizing experience, I had nightmares for a long time. Angelo made them go away, by handling this for me. I didn't even have to go court. As someone who was fearful for his future, Angelo has saved it!
When I was accused of a DUI, I had no idea what that meant legally. I didn't know if that meant i'd go to jail automatically, or what would occur. I learned a lot from these attorneys. They taught me about all the laws, and the DUI process - and I was able to understand what I was being accused. The DUI lawyers at H&M provide you the best possible defense, that money can buy. They care about educating you, and i'm so glad I listened to them and decided to move forward. Nima, the founding partner, was always available to explain me understand my options - he asked me about my personal obligations, and tried to give me solutions that would work for me, and not ruin my life!
Angelo, the attorney I worked with, was very professional. Angelo helped me understand everything. In his initial consultation, he explained to me about what a DUI means, and what legal penalties I could face. He also mentioned, that many of their attorneys were former DUI prosecutors - and explained how their defense was going to help me avoid jail time. Also, they explained all of my questions, and I am very happy to tell you I went with them - and got a significantly reduced punishment.
I never thought that having a DUI consultation could be so informative! Angelo is an extremely attentive DUI lawyer, who told me everything I needed to know about DUI. For a college student accused of his first DUI - it's a no brainer to work with former DUI prosecutors - like Nima Haddadi. I have a bright future now, thanks to Nima and his team.
I can't say enough good things about the H&M law firm. Chris and Nima both worked on my case, and did a fantastic job at helping me. This is the second firm I hired for my case. I first hired a different law firm from Yelp. They charged me $2000. I thought I was getting a great deal! It was the lowest quote, and the attorney acted like he'd get my case dismissed. Half way through the case, the attorney tried to plead guilty at the second hearing. I went back to Yelp and hired the H&M law firm. THANKFULLY - my charges were reduced. Everything worked out I couldn't ask for more from the law firm. My charges were significantly reduced, and everything worked out for me. I cannot express, in words, how much they helped change my life. I recommend them highly - and wish them nothing but the highest possible success!
Getting accused of DUI can change your life. You also learn a lot when it happens. Being put in the back of a police car is humiliating! I also learned, youj should never talk back to the LAPD - and you should get the best possible attorney, because there is no price for your future! I was fortunate enough to hire Nima, who is a partner at the H&M law firm. The attorneys at this firm are extremely smart, they are attentive to detail, and very realistic on what you can expect. I only appeared 2,3 times. They schedule these appearances to be perfect for my schedule. It's worth paying a little bit extra, for a good attorney - because ALL the people in my court, knew Nima and his attorneys. They weren't really arguing with the attorneys. They made a deal, and figured it out. I really liked the fact they "knew everyone," so it felt like you were kind of cheating! I ended up getting a wet reckless, which drastically improved my life. I could've gone to jail, but H&M changed my life. Not only did they help me reduce the DUI to a wet reckless, the firm put me in AA - which has changed my life, and is a blessing! Thank you for saving my life, and my family!
The story is this - I was at my after prom, and me and my friends had a DD. We didn't think we should drink, since she's a very responsible person. But, since it was prom - she drank 3-4 beers. Around 11pm, we were all tired, and got the driver to get her car. We waited until the car came around, and raced into car. We left the place, and stopped at a red light. A cop car from nowhere, and pulled us over. It looks like the driver had forgotten to turn on her headlights. The cop came to the car, and picked up the scent of alcohol. I didn't think we'd have a problem, because we didn't know the driver drank. The officer performed a field test. Long story short, she failed, and the cop also made us perform the blow test. WE ALL failed, so the cop gave us all a DUI and public intoxication. We were ALL petrified, and I didn't want to tell my mom. I had to call her though, because I needed to be bailed out. She gave me a long talk. She made me find an attorney, and wanted to reach me a lesson. I called H&M after finding them on Yelp. I am very happy I found them. They assured me they'd help me get my life back together. I had nightmares because of my DUI. I'm not kidding! They told me the whole process, and answered any questions my parents had. I am very happy, and satisfied. This review should help others understand the bad position I was in - and the fact there is a way out!
The H&M attorneys are very aggressive. When dealing with a DUI accusation, you need an aggressive lawyer on your side. My case was VERY quickly handled. They never hesitated to help me. When you are accused of a DUI, you need someone who understands how to handle these cases quickly. Nima, is a former DUI prosecutor, so he had the "inside scoop," on how the cases are handled. He knew the DA, and the plea was accepted quickly. This is definitely the best firm to work with.
I am a person of few words. I very rarely write reviews about different companies. When I called the H&M law firm, I was connected to an attorney right away. I was very surprised by the kindness, and expertise, in the voice of the attorney I spoke to. I could tell the attorney was VERY dedicated to her job. I didn't feel like I was being rushed through a conveyor belt, when speaking to the firm. They didn't trust to hustle me for money. After I hired the firm, they constantly updated me, and reassured me about all the things going on with the case. They made me feel like I had nothing to worry about. I can say I was very impressed by their level of service, and I was speechless at how much they actually cared about protecting my life and my future. They are very polite, and they don't make you feel unimportant. My case wasn't out of the ordinary! But I was able to get a GREAT deal from the court. My attorney knew the District Attorney, and after a lot of negotiation, did a great service for me! I was speeding, and blew a .12. I was less worried about it, after these GREAT attorneys got me amazing results.
I'm right now very excited to write this review for a group of extraordinary Los Angeles dui attorneys. I don't know what to say, or what to do. I was referred to the firm from a friend. The friend assured me this firm truly cares about their client. I am proud to say my friend was right. I called the law firm, and they offered me a free consultation. I signed up with them immediately. I can't even begin to say, what a huge relief it is - to find a firm that truly cares about you. I never had to go through the stress of being presented in front of the judge. I went to all my court hearings, and just watched the attorney work and handle the case. I was having mini-heart attacks, worried about what the judge would say. The judge acted like him and my attorney were "good friends," and was very kind! Nima is a very professional dui attorney in Los Angeles, and seems to have an awesome relationship with all the people at court. I was able to get a wet reckless, and had to take 3 month alcohol classes, in addition to a $1,100 fine + probation. This is a VERY good deal - since I was able to avoid jail. I asked other people what typical offers were like, with the same BAC as mine. Several said they went to jail. Many were surprised my DUI lawyer Los angeles was able to get me such a good deal!

The best suggestions on exactly where to travel from Vancouver to the most superb locations around. I will guide you on different one or two day trip possibilities that every person in your family will get pleasure from.
Right here is a organic hot artesian oasis where the entire loved ones can have exciting, loosen up and rejuvenate inside the backdrop of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. There is a large thermal swimming pool that is maintained at 98 degrees year round and a 25 individual therapy pool maintained at 107 degrees year round. There is also a 25 foot kid's water slide and soaking region along with a grilling and picnic location. Lodging is now accessible for RV's and tents, as nicely as three-one particular area cabins and a family style travel trailer. All lodging consists of swimming admission and access to all pool facilities for the duration of open hours.
In my book, I highlight the function of Père Léopold Michel Cadière (1869-1955), a French missionary who wrote 250 research performs about Vietnamese history, religions, customs, linguistics and who described Đạo Mẫu (the worship of mother goddesses in Vietnam) as becoming a cult, ignoring its ancient history and indigenous character throughout Vietnam. The French, by way of brutal force, intimidation and jail sentences, attempted to eradicate the religion but this only reinforced its practice, but pushed it underground.

HomeTaiwanTaiwan return to action next week against Nepal
Taiwan return to action next week against Nepal
Mark Henderson May 28, 2019
Taiwan returns to Kaohsiung for an international for first time in a few years, where they will play against Nepal in a friendly. The southern Taiwanese city hasn't hosted a Taiwan game since the last World Cup qualifiers four years ago. There are some familiar and new names involved in the squad, as Taiwan ramp up their World Cup preparations with the group stage draws just around the corner.
Taiwan bring Emilio Estevez Tsai into the squad
Taiwan has called up Emilio Estevez Tsai into the senior squad for the first time, the 20 old players recently signed a contract with Canadian Premier League side York 9 after impressing scouts in open trials. Since joining York 9, he has played 3 times in the inaugural Canadian Premier League season, assisting 1 goal in their loss against Cavalry.
The player was born in Toronto, to a Spanish father and Taiwanese mother, meaning he has quite the options open to him when it comes to international football. He will still be eligible to represent Canada, Taiwan or Spain even if he plays in the friendly against Nepal next week.
As Estevez is still only 20, if it looks like he is going to have a bright future in the game, Taiwan will do well to tie him down to the national side before one of the other nations he is eligible to represent do.
It will be interesting to see if Estevez gets any playing time against Nepal, and what he can offer Taiwan as they look more towards their diaspora in a similar way to other nations around the world have, and still do.
The return of Yaki Yen
Yaki Yen has been a mainstay of a Qingdao Huanghai side, who consistently produce good performances in China's League One. Yaki hasn't been involved for some time now, and it will good to see him back in Taiwan's defence offering the kind of stability he brings to the back line.
Hopefully, this means he will be involved in the World Cup qualifying campaign because Taiwan will need their key players if they are to do well in those games. Yaki was a key performer during the previous World Cup qualifying attempt which saw Taiwan suffer valiant defeats against the likes of Vietnam, Thailand and Iraq.
The national side has improved a lot since then, and in Yaki, Chen Ting-yang, Wang Chien-ming and Wang Ruei Taiwan have as solid a back line as they can hope for. All of these players are now playing professional football at clubs outside of Taiwan, therefore, they should be expected to form the base for Taiwan's defence considering the experience they are getting compared with local players.
Yaki Yen is at Qingdao Huanghai in China, Wang Ruei is at Yuen Long in Hong Kong, Wang Chien-ming is at Gwangju in South Korea and Chen Ting-yang is at Lee Man in Hong Kong. All these leagues offer the players a professional set up to play in, which is going to benefit the Taiwanese national team long term, and these benefits will be felt during the World Cup qualifiers, where Taiwan's defence will be expected to perform better than previously, as defending has often proved to be one of the major Achilles heels for the national side.
Key players mostly involved
All of Taiwan's key players are going to be involved in the next two friendlies against Nepal and Hong Kong. Chen Po-liang is in the squad for the friendlies, and he is the first player anyone should look out for when Taiwan squads are named.
He should be known as Mr Taiwan, with him Taiwan is a different side to how they are without him, and he is vitally important to everything Taiwan are trying to achieve. He has the highest number of caps, has scored the most goals ever for Taiwan, and was the youngest ever captain in the countries history. He makes the side tick and is club captain and a mainstay for Zhejiang Greentown in China's League One. If Chen Po-Liang performs well in World Cup qualifying, then Taiwan has a great chance of also doing well, because he makes them tick.
Another Chinese based played is back in the squad too, Wen Chih-hao. The versatile midfielder plays in China League One for Beijing Sport University and goes about his business in a quiet manner. He often sits in the hole with Chen Po-Liang making things tick over the middle of the park, he does the shady work that other people don't often care about doing so doesn't get noticed as much. This role is absolutely pivotal for any side that wants to perform well though because without the water carrier you cannot have the extravagant players. Wen Chih-hao is a big player for Taiwan, and it is vital he remains fit and available for the World Cup campaign.
Other key players who have a wealth of experience in either league abroad or international football are Chen Hao-Wei, Onur Dogan, Wu Chung-Ching, Chen Chao-an, and Pan Wen-Chieh. These players are going to be vitally important to Taiwan doing well in the friendly, but they're vitally important to Taiwan having a successful World Cup qualifying campaign.
The obvious two omissions from Taiwan's players, playing football overseas seems to be Will Donkin and Tim Chow.
Will Donkin could just be rested, he is young and has played a lot of times for Taiwan since making his debut, equally the manager Louis Lancaster may just want to see how other young players can perform, and give them a chance this time. As for Tim Chow, his situation is a bit more unclear, after what happened following his one call up for the national team. I do believe we will see Tim Chow play for Taiwan again in the future though after the CTFA (Chinese Taipei Football Association) posted about his banging goal in the Chinese Super League for Henan Jianye.

Did we just complete a project?
Fast, accommodating, and professional. They returned calls and messages immediately and were very friendly. They gave me a clear outline of the project process before they began working.
