Opinion Three charts on: Australia's booming prison population
Sophie Russell and Eileen Baldry
The largest increases in Australia's prison numbers have been in remand, Indigenous and women prisoners, write Sophie Russell and Eileen Baldry.
OPINION: The prison population in Australia is at its highest-ever recorded level. Over the past decade, the number and rate of people imprisoned across all Australian states and territories has risen rapidly.
Data released from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) last week show there were, on average, 40,577 people in prisons in Australia during the first quarter of 2017. This is up from 25,968 ten years ago. The largest increases have been in remand, Indigenous, and women prisoners.
More people in prison are on remand
Prisoners held on remand are those who have been charged, not granted bail, but not yet found guilty. They are held in prison custody awaiting their court appearance or trial.
According to the latest data from the ABS, across Australia 33% of the total prison population (13,182) is on remand.
It is important to point out that the numbers the ABS presents are the average daily prisoner numbers. These numbers do not show the more dramatic picture of how many people flow in and out of prison over a year.
Prisoners on remand form a large proportion of this churning flow prisoner population. While we don't know the exact number, it is estimated that the flow population is close to double the census number.
As can be seen above, the remand population increased more steeply when compared with the sentenced population. From 2012 to 2017, the remand population grew by 87%.
This higher increase in remandees compared with the numbers of persons sentenced is one reason for the increasing number and rate of prisoners. Reasons for this may be that more people are being refused bail, and that there are backlogs of cases in courts – meaning it is taking longer for remandees to get to trial.
Increases in Indigenous imprisonment rates
The imprisonment rate of Indigenous Australians has also increased over the past decade. Indigenous Australians represent 28% of the prisoner population according to the latest figures.
As can be seen from this graph, the Indigenous prisoner rate has increased at a greater rate than the overall Australian prisoner rate over the past decade. This has helped account for the overall increase in Australian prisoner numbers and rates.
The increasing rate of Indigenous prisoners is associated with higher rates of arrest resulting in conviction, a greater likelihood of imprisonment, and a higher rate of bail refusal.
Indigenous Australians' experiences of removal, dispossession, exclusion from education and employment, and structural disadvantage also play major roles in Indigenous offending rates and over-representation in prison.
Other research has found that contributing factors include over-policing of Indigenous people with mental and cognitive disability, as well as institutional discrimination and greater severity by the criminal justice system in its treatment of Indigenous offenders.
The number of women in prison is on the rise
The third group of prisoners that is growing rapidly is women.
Over the last decade, the total number of women in prison in Australia has increased by 77%.
Although women are still a very small proportion, their percentage of the prisoner population has grown significantly over the past decade. As evident below, the increase in Indigenous women prisoners accounts for most of that growth.
The increase in Indigenous women prisoners has been attributed to a higher number of Indigenous women entering prison who have been in prison previously, as well as increased policing and tougher sentencing regimes.
Why is the growth in prisoners significant?
The prison system is tasked with several purposes: punishment, deterrence, protection and rehabilitation. Rising prisoner numbers and the associated costs raise important questions about the legitimacy and viability of these purposes for the majority of those in prison.
As seen in the graphs, of concern are the number of people on remand – around half of whom are released without having to serve further time in prison because they are found not guilty, given a community order, or deemed to have served their time.
Of equal concern are the increased rates of Indigenous prisoners and Indigenous women prisoners – most of whom are on remand or on short sentences. The majority of those sent to prison re-offend and return to prison.
Prisons are expensive; expenditure on prisons in Australia in 2014-15 was A$2.9 billion. So, it is important to ask whether this rapid increase in remand, Indigenous and women prisoner numbers and rates is justified.

Student Government senators Bryan Torres, Andrea Dazell, and SG President R.J. Mohammad met with officials from the Auxiliary Services corp. on April 21 and discussed the motion to increase the price of parking decals by 4%. Although the SG officials voiced their reasoning against the increase. The motion passed by 4-2.
The Banner previously reported that approximately 6,400 students purchased parking decals last year and the fee continues to rise annually as prices of campus maintenance increases.
"A few years ago it was done to create more classifications and percentages would not affect people, goes up 4 dollars a year for students and depending on how long students are on campus and come by, the increase is insignificant," said Ira Persky, CSI's Vice President of Finance and Administration.
The parking decals will increase in price from $111 to $115 for a full academic year for non-residents, residents on campus will now pay $231 as opposed to $222, and half year students will pay $62 instead of $60, according to financial reports.
The ASC voiced the necessity of the increase but Senior R.J. Mohammed discussed the increase and its continual effects on students.
"I agree with the faculty perspective but, I advocate for the students," he said.
"I receive messages and calls about how the decals are too expensive. Since I represent them, I want what's best for students. I'm leaving in one month but, I'm thinking about how things would be in 10 years from now, 4% a year leads up to 40% by then," he continued.
The Banner reported that the ASC is a non-profit business and most of its funds are therefore raised in house through decal sales and parking enforcement.
These funds are used for fixing potholes on campus and creating new parking spaces.


This concerto for viola da gamba and string orchestra by Johann Gottlieb Graun has come down to us in a carefully written set of parts which his colleague at the Berlin court, the gamba virtuoso Ludwig Christian Hesse, has drawn up for his practical use. On the basis of this part set, the concerto appears now for the first time in print. This work presents itself as a rare opportunity for more advanced gambists to acquaint themselves with a genre which until recently had seemed the province of the orchestral and keyboard instruments, namely the late Baroque solo concerto in the Italian style.


Chloë Sevigny is returning to American Horror Story. Sevigny last appeared on the second season, American Horror Story: Asylum, as a recurring, playing a nymphomaniac. Ryan Murphy tweeted this morning that she's joined the cast of American Horror Story: Hotel as a series regular. No word yet on her character.
She'll join previously announced Lady Gaga, Wes Bentley, Matt Bomer and Cheyenne Jackson for the show's fifth season. Jessica Lange announced earlier this month at PaleyFest that she would not be returning for a fifth stint on Hotel. During her four seasons on AHS, Lange played a washed-up Southern belle in season one, an acerbic nun in American Horror Story: Asylum, a dominant witch in American Horror Story: Coven and a German carnival ringmaster in last season's American Horror Story: Freak Show. During her tenure on AHS, Lange won two Emmys, a Golden Globe and a SAG award for her alter egos.
Sevigny played Shelley in Asylum, a patient at Briarcliff who is experimented on by Dr. Arden (James Cromwell). Her other TV credits include Bloodline, The Mindy Project, Those Who Kill, Portlandia and Hit & Miss.

This exclusive 5-CD collection brings together every Number One in the US record charts of the 1950s as published in Billboard. It uses the 'Best Sellers in Stores' chart as well as the Top 100 and Hot 100 when they were launched. The 124 tracks chart the course of a momentous decade in popular music with the familiar domain of the traditional artists of dance bands, variety, radio and the movies being overtaken by the rock 'n' roll phenomenon, as mass media gave the baby boom generation a voice while the world emerged from post-war austerity. It's an extraordinary, fascinating and hugely entertaining kaleidoscope of popular music. For British and European audiences, it highlights both the influence the US charts had over what happened in the UK and also some of the differences between the markets, offering not only insight into the eclectic melting-pot of musical genres in the USA, but also some collectable tracks that never saw the light of day in Britain. Needless to say, it features some of the biggest names and landmark recordings of the post-war era, and will be a fantastic souvenir to remind those of a certain age of their wider musical roots.


Wither postcapitalism? Across Europe, there are signals today of an evolution or mutation of neoliberal forms of governance, towards a more rapacious and authoritarian genus. But there are also signs of fragility and increasingly metastasising risks. There are rising political populisms in both leftist and right-wing variants that threaten the continued predominance of existing elites. The fragility of austerity as an economic programme which has suppressed growth while failing to restore state finances to pre-crisis levels points towards future, and even more unmanageable, economic and fiscal crises.


MUMBAI: The question many businesses today face is, what is your larger purpose? What are businesses doing to help reduce poverty, promote education, or even protect the environment? Do they really care about the world, or is it just about profits?
Innate Motion-a global company that applies human sense-making and engineers journeys of change to help organisations craft brands and businesses with greater purpose, has collaborated with Pitchfork Partners, a Mumbai-based marketing strategy consultancy to counsel corporations to bring a synergy between their efforts to do good, while keeping their business objectives in sight.
"Very simply put, we help position the purpose of a brand" Subodh Deshpande of Innate Motion states, clarifying that the service extends beyond directing philanthropic activities and corporate social responsibility (CSR).
Two years ago, Innate Motion created a global format for global FMCG major Unilever called 'Crafting Brands for Life' where it showed an ideal way to build brand position. According to Deshpande, it is the need of the hour to create brands for life. And he gives the example of Dove, one of Unilever's main brands, that emphasises the concept of real beauty as being who you are.
"Traditional marketing tells us that we shouldn't be influenced by our emotions, because that makes us a bad business person" says Joyshree Reinelt of Innate Motion, adding that often too much business logic is applied to human beings, whereas it should be the other way around. That is, human logic should be applied to businesses.
'If you want to build a purpose, you have to start from a human reality' she says. Deshpande, Reinelt and Sonia Kapoor – all designated 'business humaniser' – were in Mumbai last week to announce the tie-up with Pitchfork Partners, set up earlier this year by seasoned communications professionals Sunil Gautam and Jaideep Shergill.
The aim is to understand consumers at a human level; to leave offices and spend time with people, the team at Innate says. "It is only when you become vulnerable and when you use empathy as a tool, that a true awakening happens" says Deshpande. Innate Motion has made detergent manufacturers wash clothes themselves. They've organised sessions where they've made people selling Walls ice-cream peddle their product on the streets. They've made businesses step into their consumers' shoes and live the experience.
The feedback from clients is that they've acquired a new way of looking at things. "We create this embodied understanding that no one else is exploring" says Deshpande. The ultimate goal is to create a genuine people-to-people connect. Or, simply put, an empathy-based marketing strategy. "We help craft purpose brands, and help businesses do well by doing good. It's a triple bottom line: to serve your profit, the people and the planet" says Reinelt.
The company urges businesses to give back to the community as well. They provide the example of soup brand Knorrox in South Africa. They helped the brand develop a campaign around the idea of fighting hunger and nurturing community bonds.
They empowered women who cook, calling them Knorrox Kitchen Queens, and gave them material to cook and feed a group of people. The idea was to curb hunger in the region. The theme was widely accepted, and the brand grew because of the cause it served.
"The marketing community in an organisation is different from the CSR team. In many companies, we've noticed that they are battling each other because they are not speaking the same language" Reinelt points out, while talking about how marketers don't see the value of having a common purpose that can ensure profits while doing good. Innate Motion, however, does more than just CSR.
They are brand-crafters. The team is all praise for the government initiative of making contribution to CSR compulsory for corporates. "This shows that India is keen on creating betterment for itself" she says.
The change Innate Motion creates is a move from making philanthropy a profit-minimiser to a profit-driver. The brands that thrive are the ones that create value for the people and the society they live in, the team says.
While Innate has been working in India for five years, the collaboration with Pitchfork Partners should see greater presence for the consultancy. Shergill is bullish about the potential for advisors who have global expertise in the arena. The prospects for Messrs Innate and Pitchfork, says Shergill, are promising.

He has worked for Tearfund since 2004.

Matt is an international keynote speaker, trainer and coach, and the author of Relationology 101. He is also the founder of Cinnamon Network, which helps local churches to bring transformation in their communities by working with local authorities, the police, education services and health agencies.
David Westlake is a follower of Jesus who is just trying to work it all out. He started out as was a youth worker, church planter and pastor in inner London and then in Watford. After this, he joined the leadership team of Tearfund as Youth Director, and is now Tearfund's International Director. His goal is to inspire and equip as many Christians and churches as possible to serve their communities in word and deed, empowered by the Holy Spirit.
Dave and Ali Swann are both British and have been missionaries with YWAM since 1989. They have two daughters, Michal and Sophie, who are 22 and 19. They started their missionary life working with refugees on the Thai–Cambodian border. Since then they have lived in Switzerland and South Africa. They currently live in the UK but travel extensively, particularly in Africa and Asia. They have developed various workshops and seminars specifically aimed at non-Western audiences. Their mission is to see long term field workers equipped and trained to be more effective in what they do.
Joseph Nyamutera is a church pastor and the Regional Director of Mercy Ministries International/Le Rucher Ministries, where he also serves as International Manager for Reconciliation. He is the founder of Rabagirana Ministries, which works to encourage churches to adopt integral mission in their theology and practice. Having grown up during the Rwandan genocide, Joseph is passionate about seeing people learn to love their enemies and reconcile their differences. Joseph is a qualified English teacher and also has a diploma and degree in theology from Africa International University. He is currently completing his Master's in organisational leadership at the same university.
Steve and Marie Goode are ambassadors for YWAM Mercy. They have been working with poor and vulnerable people in Asia and Africa since 1980. Steve and Marie speak internationally and are the authors of Bring your eyes and see, a book about their journey into justice, compassion and action. They believe that loving our neighbours and our enemies will be the next great challenge for followers of Jesus in this generation. Steve contributes to many boards and organisations, including Not For Sale and Call2Compassion.

This may be the coldest summer in over a decade, but we're still in the thick of iced coffee season. As you savor the last few weeks of summer, here are three new takes on classic cold brew coffee, our favorite style of caffeine on the rocks.
Rick and Michael Mast, the confectionary focused siblings behind Mast Brothers Chocolate, recently solidified their position as the Willy Wonkas of Williamsburg by opening their first Brew Bar, a watering hole devoted to drinkable chocolate—including a chocolate cold brew. The brothers Mast announced the opening of their new enterprise on Aug. 7, calling it the world's first chocolate brew bar. Given the seriousness with which this duo approaches its dark-chocolate bar business, one would assume that's not a superlative they're throwing around lightly. Brew Bar's menu includes standard drinks like chocolate milk, as well as more obscure offerings like chocolate soda, and finally, the focal point for this piece, a chocolate cold brew. Unlike the traditional concept of the cold brew, this one does not come with coffee. Instead, it's more akin to an iced tea. Cocoa nibs are soaked in filtered water for 24 hours to create this bittersweet drink, which can be served alone, with simple syrup or a splash of milk. Just FYI, if you're looking for a morning jolt, you might want to look elsewhere—cold brew chocolate does naturally contain caffeine but not as much as coffee or tea.
If you though sachets were just a fancy way of keeping your underwear drawer smelling nice, please allow us to introduce you to the concept of the cold-brew sachet. For the days when even the thought of caffeine isn't enough to make you consider leaving your air- conditioned apartment for a coffee fix, Grady's has got you covered. Not only does the Brooklyn company hand-bottle take home versions of its New-Orleans-style cold brew for you to keep in the refrigerator, it also makes something called a Bean Bag, which allows you to make your own iced coffee on the go. Product-name puns aside, each of these cold-brew sachets contains Grady's signature mix of ground coffee beans, chicory and spices. Sold by the can, which contains four sachets, each bean bag creates 2.5 servings of cold-brew concentrate (10 ounces total give or take). While Grady's Bean Bags as most easily located online through its own website, we also found them available through on-demand grocers like Good Egg and local markets (a full list of Brooklyn stockists can be found here). Each can costs $12, or roughly the price of three cold brews at your local coffee shop. These are practically made for scenarios in which your access to good coffee is uncertai—think Airbnb rentals or your parents' house.

In a concerning development a UK judge has come out with the proposterous suggestion that immigrants who beat and slap their children should be given special treatment and that their cultural context should be taken into account. There are so many issues with this suggestion that it is hard to know where to start but let`s give it a go!!
Firstly it is just wrong to beat or harm a child in any way, shape or form and this is thankfully now enshrined in our laws, so why we would suddenly want to give allowances for the cultural context of the offence I have no idea. If a person lives or visits these shores they need to be aware of and abide by our laws and if they do not they should suffer the consequences.
You can`t pick out one group for preferential treatment in this way as it opens up a whole can of worms. For instance any UK citizen who has had a particularly bad upbringing and/or they are from a poor background could argue that their particular cultural context has led to them beating their child. Where would it end?
Mrs Justice Pauffley recommended this move whilst sitting in the High Court, indicating that the police and social services should `go easy` on certain immigrant groups. In a ruling over an Indian man who it was said beat both his wife and his son she said that "proper allowance must be made for what is, almost certainly, a different cultural context", and that the boy "did not appear to have suffered more than sadness and transient pain from what was done to him".
Unfortunately this ruling will most certainly be seized upon by certain political groups such as the BNP and UKIP who will make great play of the special treatment being meted out to immigrants and this can cause great harm to public relations and friction in our communities.
Last but certainly not least this may give certain people carte blanche to beat and discipline their children, an action which is totally abhorrent to the vast majority of the people in the UK and which should not only be discouraged but legal action should be brought to bear against such people. Children should never be slapped or beaten and there can be no excuses whatsoever, no matter where you are from or what background you have. If you think a child is being mistreated get legal advice over whether to report or press charges over the issue.

In the second part of our interview with Dolvett Quince, The Biggest Loser star and celebrity trainer talked about the show's contestants and shared some of his favorite fitness and eating tips. Quince, who hopes to inspire Americans to be more aware of their heart health through the the #DustTheRustOff campaign, also addressed a few reader questions.
What might surprise people about The Biggest Loser contestants when the cameras are off?
As defeated as the contestants seem to be when they are discussing what got them there, they are athletes. They are more competitive than you think. A 300-pound guy will push himself so the 280-pound guy isn't going to be at a better number the next week. They're more agile and athletic than people give them credit. They are working seven, eight, nine hours a day. They all live together in the same house in separate rooms. They are always around each other walking together, doing Jacobs Ladder or the treadmill and eating together.
MORE: What Is Making Dolvett Angry This Season on The Biggest Loser?
What type of exercise, if any, has the greatest overall benefits.
Burpees. You know what I love about burpees? Burpees force you to use your lower body, core and upper body all in one explosive movement. You get your heart rate up very rapidly. You have to work your entire body— meaning that you go down, push yourself off of a plank, jump your feet into your hands, stand up and jump again. So with all that jumping, your heart rate is up. And with all the body movement, you're developing muscles. So if you want to increase your cardio and develop your muscles, do a burpee—or 700 of them.
What is a realistic workout schedule for people who work a 9-to-5 job? Is it better to work out in the morning or at night?
I believe it's better to exercise in the morning. When I start my day I have control. Sometimes when things get out of control it's because you don't know what deadlines have to be met at work. You might be running late or get caught in traffic which is frustrating. Or you have to run home or go to the kids' practice. By the end of the day you're too tired. However, if you start your day with exercise and make that time for yourself, you'll feel better the rest of the day. There are too many distractions in the day to keep you from exercise. Let time for yourself start early. Then the rest of the world can get you.
What are your thoughts on how a working mom can find time to exercise when she feels stressed and tired all the time?
You're exhausted because you're not exercising. Your bones have cobwebs on them. Your muscles and your heart are not getting the right blood circulation that it needs. My advice is to schedule time for yourself, even if it's just two days a week. For example, you will have some level of activity on Tuesdays and Thursdays. If you have a small child, take your child outside with you. Walk on a hill. Stay active. Don't let excuses control you. Work around them by having movement in your day.
A mom once told me, "Dolvett, I'm getting better at working out more often. But I don't feel guilty on days when I'm overwhelmed and can't get in a workout. On my non workout days I make sure that I eat twice as good. That way I'm getting an internal workout. Then on the other days, I have an external workout." That's a good balanced way of thinking. Be more conscious and watch those pounds come off.
When the cravings hit and you really, really want that cookie, what's your best tip? Do you indulge? And if you do, how do you keep from eating the entire box?
I believe you have to earn the cookie. If you just started working out and it's your second day, on the third day you didn't earn the cookie yet. If you have a goal to lose 10 pounds and you lose 10 pounds, you've just earned that cookie. Reach your goals first. Get a rhythm. Just because you do something halfway doesn't mean you deserve to go back to where you were. Do it all the way. See it through.
But what if it is 10 p.m. and your sweet tooth is calling and you're craving like crazy?
Don't set yourself up for failure. If I am a drinker who loves to drink and I decide to detox for a month, I'm not going to have a bottle of wine or Scotch in my cabinet. So if I make a plan to lose 10 pounds and cut back on my sugar, I'm not going to buy a candy bar. Instead, I'll buy some fruit. I'll snack on half an apple. Or if I have a sweet tooth and I'm trying to be super disciplined, Ceylon cinnamon helps me. I place that cinnamon in Greek yogurt. That satisfies my sweet tooth every single time.

Q: SUMPRODUCT((range={"this";"that"})*(other conditions)) return N/A if some cell of range does not meet this or that Data set:
A|B

1|a
2|b
3|c

Formula:
=SUMPRODUCT((B1:B3={"a";"b"}))

The sumproduct return NA there. I don't get why. I want it to return 2.
If I add c to the condition it correctly returns 3.
What am I my missing ?

A: You are comparing an array of size 1x3 to an array of size 1x2 which is not allowed. (If you compare two vertical arrays, they must be the same size. This is why the problem is fixed when you add "c" to the formula.)
You need to compare a 1x3 array to a 2x1 array.
This expression:
B1:B3={"a";"b"}

Returns:
{TRUE;TRUE;#N/A}

SUMPRODUCT cannot handle logical (TRUE/FALSE) values so you must add 0, multiply by 1, or perform double negative operator to change to an array of numerical values.
So... this:
--(B1:B3={"a";"b"})

Returns:
{1;1;#N/A}

Performing SUMPRODUCT on this will still return #N/A since the array contains #N/A.
But if you do this: (Note the comma instead of semicolon)
B1:B3={"a","b"}

Now you get:
{TRUE,FALSE;FALSE,TRUE;FALSE,FALSE}

Note this returns a 2x3 array.
Perform double negative operator and you get this:
{1,0;0,1;0,0}

Now performing SUMPRODUCT will return 2, as you expect.
The final formula you need is:
= SUMPRODUCT(--(B1:B3 = {"a","b"}))

A: You'r comparing a horizontal range vs. a vertical range. However your delimiter is wrong in case of English version. Also, with the right , as delimiter, your comparison will return a range of TRUE and FALSE values.
Wrap your comparison in a double negative or multiply it by 1. e.g.:
=SUMPRODUCT(--(B1:B3={"a","b"}))

Or:
=SUMPRODUCT((B1:B3={"a","b"})*1)

This will change TRUE into 1 and FALSE into 0, values your SUMPRODUCT can actually sum.
A more comprehensive explaination on why adding a "c" would work given by @Jerry on a failry similar question I once had can be found here

Interview: American filmmakers Lee Sternthal and Brian Klugman #Firstpost #Film
Mumbai Film Festival 2012: In conversation with The Words directors Brian Klugman and Lee Sternthal
Brian Klugman and Lee Sternthal are an American writer-director duo. They wrote 2010's Tron: Legacy and have recently written and directed their first movie, The Words, about a writer who has to deal with the consequences of plagiarising someone's work, and that features a star-studded cast including Bradley Cooper, Jeremy Irons, Zoe Saldana, Olivia Wilde and Dennis Quaid.
The film, whose script was developed at the Sundance Screenwriters Lab, also had its world premiere at the 2012 edition of the Sundance Film Festival and is now premiering at the Mumbai Film Festival. In the interview, the duo talks about the rights and wrongs of plagiarism, the process of collaboration and how Satyajit Ray's Pather Panchali has inspired a scene in their movie.
Before we start talking about the movie, I'm interested in knowing your personal takes on plagiarism. Having made a movie on the topic, do you overanalyse your work now?
Brian Klugman (BK): Not really, because I think, we are all subconsciously inspired by the writers and artistes we see and read. But stealing someone's work verbatim is certainly a cardinal sin for writers.
Lee Sternthal (LS): Yeah, I feel the question about plagiarism is: At what point does something become outright thievery? At what point does it go from being inspiration to being something you have copied, so to speak? I'll give you an example here. Brian loves and speaks a lot about the films of Satyajit Ray, and they are a huge influence on him. There's actually a scene in our movie that we ended up cutting out later, which was inspired by Ray's Pather Panchali. In the scene, Bradley Cooper's character is on the bus, going to work, and he's got so much hope in it. And then later, he's coming back on the same bus and he's totally broken.
So here, we're quoting Ray's work as inspiration. We used his scenes as a, sort of, jumping off point for our own work. And so, hopefully, in being inspired, we have used that work that came before us to discover our own voice and what we are trying to say. So that's a good thing – when your engagement with somebody's work inspires you to push yourself to discover what you are trying to say, as opposed to copying down something to get a result – that's bad.
BK: I think art was anyway intended to be a dialogue, you know.
You guys you have had this script for 12 years. What was the starting point for it, and what made you both sure that this was the right project to debut with as directors?
BG: We set out as much to talk about plagiarism as we, kind of, wanted to address the realities of being an artiste and the realities of being a man, and being confronted with your own limitations. It actually started off as a conversation about writers who've lost their work, especially Earnest Hemingway, whose wife accidentally left some of his manuscripts on a train. So Lee and I really got into this conversation that made us think about how Hemingway would have reacted and what would have happened to the man who'd have found them? It was an incredibly fertile ground, so over the years, we kept coming back to this project.
LS: We saw a very personal connection to the film and to the character that Bradley Cooper plays in it, a young ambitious writer, who cheats himself out of the possibility of finding out how good he can be, when he plagiarises a story. We also connected to the character of the old man, played by Jeremy Irons, whose work disappeared from his life long ago, and when he confronts it again, he is also confronted with his past. It was just something very real and something we really wanted to tell. BG: And then, as we moved forward, there were elements of real life that made it more interesting for us: the film is also a kind of comment on our society in general, a comment on this desire of getting everything immediately, the desire of getting an immediate gratification. So we connected to the many layers the story had.
Isn't it a big gamble to be co-directing with your best friend? When did you guys first click as a collaborative team?
BG: Well, we have been friends since we were kids, so, I guess, we started making stuff up together since a very young age. I think that kind of history has been incredibly helpful to us in collaborating in that we never really talked about the details of how we would go about this. We never really outlined how it would work, we never defined it… it was just a very natural thing for us to do.
LS: You know, when it's two people instead of one, people just want to know who wins the fights (laughs). But it's not about that – before we actually got this film, before we did anything actually, we were constantly having all sorts of conversations and arriving at a single vision of what we both wanted to do. So when we got into filmmaking, the most important thing was to have one voice, so people arne't getting two different messages from us. And we communicated the same that to all the people we were trying to work with, whether behind the camera or in front of the camera. We are two different people with two different perspectives, but we really respect each other and we enjoy finding the middle ground. That makes it worthwhile and that's the joy of it.
Do you guys compartmentalize by departments or do you take a decision on everything together?
LS: We collaborate on everything together, but are there things Brian does better than me? Yeah, there a lot of things (laughs).
BK: I think, in filmmaking, no rule can be steadfast because it is such an incredibly improvisational process. But when you are on set, it's probably the best to have one voice coming out, and one person speaking to the cast and crew. So, in general, Lee and I settle on a single message for the actors, for the cinematographer, and so on – we collaborate on everything and then go separately on delivering these messages in our own ways.
LS: Brian has a lot of experience as an actor… so he is really good with them and really understands what the actors are going through. On the other hand, I enjoy getting into the technical aspects more… whether its the design aspects, the cinematography and things like that. So there is no steadfast rule, but these are the kind of things we gravitate towards, based on our skill set and personalities.
You guys were writers for quite long, before you decided to take up direction. How did your strengths as a writer help you during direction?
BK: I think they are two different beasts but they definitely are connected. When you are a director, it is a wonderful tool in your toolbox if you are a writer as well, you know… especially when you are dealing with budgetary constraints. To be able to write yourself out of certain situations, is a wonderful skill to have.
LS: I think, as a writer you have a certain degree of luxury of sitting and thinking about things. For example, if a problem comes up that you don't know how to deal with, you just come back to it later. But when you are directing a film, especially a low budget film, where you don't have as much time and money, you really don't have that luxury. If a problem comes up, you have to come to an agreement and make a decision and go with that. And that's kind of the thrill of it too, you know. That's really exciting.
For a film shot in $ 6 million and in 25 days, how did you guys even manage to get such a star-studded cast?
LS: Well, no one told us that we couldn't (chuckles)! And that's what it was. Bradley's our childhood friend, he liked the script and agreed to do it. And then, an executive producer on the film had worked with Jeremy irons before. She passed the script to Jeremy and when he got interested and came on board, we suddenly had two huge actors of each of their generations in an independent film! That made the movie interesting to people, and all of a sudden, Dennis Quaid wanted to come in, and then we got Zoe Saldana and Olivia Wilde and wonderful character actors like John Hannah and JK Simmons to come in too. So we got really fortunate – once it started happening, people just wanted to come in and be a part of it!
Bradley Cooper is both the lead actor and executive producer of the film. Isn't that a tricky situation to be in?
BK: No, not at all. You'll see that a lot, but in our case, it was really nice to have an actor who wanted to help your project. When you are making an independent movie, a huge portion of it is just trying to get it off the ground and getting actors to read it, especially if it's your first film. So to have an executive producer who is also an actor in the movie and wants to help get in made was very fortunate.
LS: And you know, we've known each other for such a long time that there was a lot of trust between us. The foundation was collaboration and after that, things were only really good.
You've got two projects lined up – Break My Heart 100 Times and Johnny Depp's Rex Mundi. Tell us about them, and also about your dream project, if you have one.
BK: Break My Heart is a young adult novel that's got a wonderful story. It's an emotional thriller and it's got a lot of scope to it and we are rewriting to direct it. The Johnny Depp movie is something we are working on as writers. It's an incredibly exciting epic piece set in alternate history, in Paris in the 1940s.
LS: It's sort of like Raiders of the Lost Arc, it's that kind of a fun adventure. And you know, for Brian and I, we always really enjoyed the idea of telling epic stories. So we are writing this one, but at some point of time, we'd like to direct such a movie too.
BK: Yeah, I would love to make an Indian Jones kind of a movie at some point of time. It meant so much to me as a kid but I don't think we have the knowledge to pull that off yet.

Residents to Receive Reminders Regarding COVID-19 Booster Eligibility
The Hampton and Peninsula Health Districts have announced that residents eligible for the COVID-19 booster vaccine will begin receiving texts and/or "robocalls" as a reminder. (Courtesy of Scott Eisen/CVS Health via AP Images)
HAMPTON ROADS PENINSULA — The Hampton and Peninsula Health Districts (The Districts) announced that residents will begin receiving reminders regarding eligibility for the COVID-19 booster vaccine.
Those who reside within the jurisdiction of The Districts, which includes the Historic Triangle, will begin receiving text messages and "robocalls" to notify eligible residents of the ability to receive the COVID-19 booster.
The message that will be received will say, "Virginia Department of Health records indicate you are eligible for a Booster COVID-19 vaccine. To schedule an appointment visit https://vase.vdh.virginia.gov or call (877) 829-4682."
The Districts want to emphasize that these calls and texts are not spam nor are they phishing schemes.
Eligibility has been determined by the date of a resident's primary vaccine according to what is listed in the Virginia Department of Health's (VDH) Virginia Immunization Information System (VIIS).
In the United States, those who are 18 years and older are eligible to receive a single booster dose of either the Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna COVID-19 vaccine. This was authorized by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) last November. Additionally, earlier this month, the FDA authorized children/adolescents ages 12 years and over to receive a booster of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine. These booster shots may be administered five months following completion of the primary series of vaccines. Additionally, those who received the Johnson & Johnson/Janssen single dose COVID-19 vaccine may receive the booster two months following their primary vaccination date.
According to the VDH COVID-19 Vaccine Summary Dashboard, as of Jan. 26, 2022, only 37.1 percent of residents in James City County, 21.3 percent of residents in the City of Williamsburg, and 27.3 percent of residents in York County have received the third dose/booster vaccine.
"It is hoped that the message acts as a prompt for action to residents who are confused about booster eligibility or hesitant," said The Districts' Director Dr. Natasha Dwamena.
To schedule an appointment to receive a vaccine, please visit the website for Vaccinate Virginia or call (877) VAX-IN-VA (TTY users can dial 7-1-1). Locally, residents can schedule an appointment through the Sherwood Center Community Vaccination Center, located in Newport News, online or by calling (877) 829-4682. It is important to note that the Sherwood Center Community Vaccination Center accepts walk-ins for vaccination appointments.

FOREIGN EMPLOYMENT INCOME EXEMPTION
The exemption under section 10(1)(o)(ii) from 1 March 2020
Residents will still be required to observe the 183 and 60 full days requirements in order to qualify for the exemption. Provided the "days" requirements are met, only the first R1.25 million of foreign employment income earned by a tax resident will qualify for exemption with effect from years of assessment commencing on or after 1 March 2020.
Any foreign employment income earned over and above R1.25 million will be taxed in South Africa, applying the normal tax tables for that particular year of assessment.
Temporary relief in respect of the 2020 and 2021 years of assessment
The Taxation Laws Amendment Act, 2020 relaxed the days requirement to qualify for the foreign employment income exemption. In terms of the current provisions, individuals who spent more than 183 days in aggregate and a continuous 60 days working outside South Africa would have qualified for exemption in respect of their remuneration. However, due to travel bans during the COVID 19 pandemic, these individuals could not travel in order to work outside South Africa, and therefore could not qualify for the above-mentioned 183-day requirement.
The 183-days in aggregate requirement is reduced to an aggregate of 117 days. An individual is still required to comply with more than 60 consecutive days requirement in the same period that the 117 days have been met.
The amendment does not provide permanent relief and only applies to any 12-month period for the years of assessment ending from 29 February 2020 to 28 February 2021. This temporary relief is therefore only applicable to the 2020 and 2021 years of assessment.

Faced with apprehension, the first Budget Speech of the "new normal' was generally well-received, with the Rand holding steady, markets reacting positively, and South Africans breathing a collective sigh of short-term relief.

3 Survival Tips for Your Small Business In 2021: Little Things with A High Impact
Given the past year's pandemic and economic chaos it's relatively safe to call the present a "hostile economic environment".
Small businesses are struggling across the board as imports are hard to come by, exports near impossible to make, and clients are stripped of their expendable income. In these circumstances it's wise for the small business owner to do everything they can to not only survive in these harsh conditions, but to keep staff on board, and position themselves for better times.
This is a list of three easy things every small business should be doing to maximise profit in 2021.
The Department of Small Business Development's Lifelines to Suffocating SMMEs
SMMEs have had some unusual hurdles to jump over in order to keep their doors open in recent times.
Some relief from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent lockdowns, which have had such a destructive domino effect on businesses, is available as the government has put in place resources to help small businesses with problems across the board. These resources aim to help correct imbalances across gender lines in directorship, business performance, COVID-19 constraints, business stagnation and other growth stunters.
Here are some of the government resources available to SMMEs to keep them afloat.
New National Minimum Wage and Earnings Thresholds From 1 March 2021
1 March 2021 sees a new National Minimum Wage in place, plus an increase in the "earnings threshold" provided for in the Basic Conditions of Employment Act (BCEA).
Quoting from the Employment and Labour Minister's formal announcement of the changes, we set out the increases for employees generally, as well as those for each of the main employment sectors (domestic workers, farm workers, contract cleaners, wholesale/retail sector), with notes on the percentage increases in each. For employers of domestic workers we also provide a link to a useful "living wage" calculator.
We also summarise the BCEA protections that will no longer be available to those newly earning above the adjusted earnings threshold.
Your Tax Deadlines for March 2021
5 March – Monthly PAYE submissions and payments
25 March - VAT manual submissions and payments
30 March - Excise Duty payments
31 March - VAT electronic submissions and payments
31 March – Corporate Income Tax Provisional Tax payments where applicable.

The 2019 Chi Hack Night Black History Month Speaker Series - Chi Hack Night - Chicago's weekly event to build, share, and learn about civic tech.
Chi Hack Night is proud to present our second annual Black History Month Speaker Series. After the success of last year's series with presentations from Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx and BYP100 National Director Charlene Carruthers, we are excited to continue our tradition of bringing amazing and talented black men and women to share their work with our community.
This year's speaker series will consist of 3 Chi Hack Night presentations on Tuesday nights in February and a partnership event with the Chicago Chapter of The National Association of Black Journalists.
Local government bodies hold thousands of public meetings every day, but the vast majority receive no media coverage and produce minimal records. And these important spaces for democracy go unwatched. Long story short, your city officials are making big decisions. Documenters.org makes it easy to keep tabs by scraping, standardizing and sharing information on public meetings at the city and county-level in Chicago and Detroit—all in one central location.
Darryl Holliday, City Bureau News Lab Director and Pat Sier, City Bureau Web Developer will present the new Documenters.org website and talk about how it complements City Bureau's two-year-old Documenters program, which has been training and paying members of the public to document public governance meetings in Chicago since 2016.
In keeping with our tradition of having an open hack & potluck session once a month, we will have no presentation on Feb 12. Please bring drinks, snacks or desserts if you can! We'll provide the usual empanadas too. While we eat, we'll build, share, and learn about civic tech!
Chi Hack Night is proud to be partnering with and supporting the National Association of Black Journalists during Black History Month.
Timuel Black, elder statesman and griot of Chicago's black community, turned 100 on Dec. 7. The momentous birthday was accompanied by a weekend of Chicago celebrations for the historian, author, political and civil rights activist.
Black worked with activists Paul Robeson and W.E.B. DuBois in the '40s and '50s; alongside Dr. Martin Luther King in the '60s. He was heavily involved in King's Chicago Freedom Movement, and helped organize Chicagoans' participation in the '63 March on Washington. Over the course of seven decades, he helped establish and was active in over 100 civil rights/labor organizations. And Black was instrumental in the election of Chicago's first black mayor, in 1983, as well as the election of the nation's first black president, in 2008. NABJ-Chicago will to host a fireside chat with this icon at our annual Black History Month Forum.
Steven Philpott is the Sr. Managing Director of Colony 5, a not-for-profit organization accelerating the redevelopment of distressed retail corridors via tech entrepreneurship. At Chi Hack Night, Steven will share his work on the Array of Opportunity, a pilot collaboration between the research community and innovators to develop prototypes for social impact and commercial implications in a concentrated geolocation. The endgame of this project is to demonstrate how Opportunity Zones can be future-forward, more responsive and attractive to investment by exposing edge-tech initiatives within these communities. Join this session that introduces the Array of Opportunity premise, pilot community, and collaborative approach.
We hope you will join us in February. And stay tuned for our upcoming 2019 Women in Tech Speaker Series in March!
Monique is a digital media professional, advocate of women and youth in STEAM, and founder of The Civic Tech Collective–the premiere online community for social entrepreneurs.
Derek is an entrepreneur, developer and one of the leaders of the civic technology community in Chicago. He is a co-founder and partner at DataMade and is the lead organizer for Chi Hack Night.
