The Amundsen Sea embayment is a probable site for the initiation of a future collapse of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet. This paper contributes to a better understanding of the transport pathways of subglacial sediments into this embayment at present and during the last glacial period. It discusses the clay mineral composition of sediment samples taken from the seafloor surface and marine cores in order to decipher spatial and temporal changes in the sediment provenance. The most striking feature in the present-day clay mineral distribution is the high concentration of kaolinite, which is mainly supplied by the Thwaites Glacier system and indicates the presence of hitherto unknown kaolinite-bearing sedimentary strata in the hinterland, probably in the Byrd Subglacial Basin. The main illite input is via the Pine Island Glacier. Smectite originates from the erosion of volcanic rocks in Ellsworth Land and western Marie Byrd Land. The clay mineral assemblages in diamictons deposited during the last glacial period are distinctly different from those in corresponding surface sediments. This relationship indicates that glacial sediment sources were different from modern ones, which could reflect changes in the catchment areas of the glaciers and ice streams.

Дмитрий Дмитриевич Избеков (1906—1970) — советский учёный, кандидат исторических наук, доцент.

Занимался изучением участия якутян в Великой Отечественной войне. Им были написаны и опубликованы отдельной книгой такие труды, как «Якутяне — Герои Советского Союза», «Якутяне в боях за Родину», «Полные кавалеры ордена Славы», «Якутяне в небе фронтовом».

Биография
Родился 15 февраля 1906 года во 2-м Мегюренском наслеге Мегино-Кангаласского района в крестьянской семье.

Хорошо учился в сельской школе и решил поступить в Якутский педагогический техникум. В годы учёбы в нём был принят в ряды Ленинского комсомола. Став активным комсомольцем, был рекомендован для вступления в партию и в феврале 1931 года стал членом ВКП(б)/КПСС. По окончании техникума Наркомпрос республики направил Дмитрия Избекова на работу учителем Нельканской начальной школы. Проработав в школе один год, решил продолжить своё образование и тот же Наркомпрос направил Избекова в Ленинградский педагогический институт имени А. И. Герцена (ныне Российский государственный педагогический университет имени А. И. Герцена).

В 1936 году успешно окончил институт и вернулся в Якутию, где был назначен инспектором школ республики. После трёх лет работы инспектором Наркомата просвещения, Избеков перешел преподавателем в родной Якутский педагогический техникум.

В феврале 1942 года Якутским военкоматом был призван в ряды Красной армии. Сразу получив звание лейтенанта, участвовал в Великой Отечественной войне на Южном и 1-м Белорусском фронтах. В 1945 году был тяжело ранен в бедро, долго лечился в госпиталях и был признан негодным к строевой службе.

Демобилизовавшись из армии, поступил в аспирантуру Ленинградского педагогического института. В начале июля 1949 года представил на суд Ученого совета свое научное исследование на соискание ученой степени кандидата исторических наук по теме «Борьба большевиков против эсеро-меньшевистской контрреволюции в Петрограде (25 октября 1917 года — январь 1918 года)». Получив ученую степень, вернулся на родину и вся дальнейшая жизнь Дмитрия Дмитриевича Избеков была связана с Якутским педагогическим институтом и Якутским государственным университетом, объединённые впоследствии в один вуз — Северо-Восточный федеральный университет имени М. К. Аммосова.

Умер в 1970 году в Якутске.

Был женат на Анне Андреевне Избековой, тоже кандидатом исторических наук, имели трех сыновей. Один из них — Вадим — стал чемпионом Советского Союза по самбо.

В 2015 году в Якутский музей им. Ем. Ярославского были переданы в дар многие личные вещи и документы Дмитрия Дмитриевича Избекова.

New Adidas Stan Smiths Made from Recycled Plastic
Adidas' newest Stan Smith designs all feature PRIMEGREEN recycled polyster | Adidas
Adidas is launching its iconic Stan Smiths in several new styles, each made using PRIMEGREEN recycled polyester.
By Charlotte Pointing | March 25th, 2021
Adidas' Stan Smith sneaker range just got a sustainable upgrade.
The brand is launching its iconic tennis-inspired design in several new styles. As well as synthetic materials, each features PRIMEGREEN, a virgin plastic-free material, made from recycled polyester.
The range, called Stan Smith, Forever, is the next step in Adidas' mission to reduce plastic waste, according to a press release sent to LIVEKINDLY. By 2024, the brand has pledged to ditch virgin polyester and only use 100 percent recycled polyester in all of its products.
Each new Stan Smiths design features PRIMEGREEN | Adidas
The new collection is split into two chapters. The first consists of three unique earth-inspired Stan Smith designs. One features colorful planet graphics on the heel and another is covered in embossed planets with gold eyelets. The third features a green heel tab and earth-inspired embroidery.
Then there's the second, and (arguably) more fun, chapter of Stan Smith, Forever, which comes complete with Kermit the Frog and Disney-inspired designs.
Again, each sneaker features PRIMEGREEN, but this time, the shoes are adorned with popular green characters from Marvel, Disney, Pixar, and Star Wars. These include: Monster Inc's Mike Wazowski, Toy Story's Rex, and even The Hulk.
Shoppers can now get several different varieties of vegan Stan Smiths | Adidas
Adidas' Stan Smiths, Sustainable & Vegan
This isn't the first time Adidas' Stan Smiths have received a sustainable makeover. In 2018, the brand collaborated with Stella McCartney to launch the design, originally made with leather, in vegan materials.
Then the duo teamed up again in 2019 to launch another version of the vegan shoe. This time around, it featured rainbow laces, punched-out rainbow stars, and an image of McCartney herself on the tongue.
According to the sustainability-focused fashion designer, her husband commissioned the company to make her a pair of vegan Stan Smiths for her birthday.
After that, she convinced the brand to do a whole animal-free line. And it was a hit. She said back in 2019: "So many young people came into our stores to enquire about the Stan Smith, asking questions about what the trainer was made with, telling our staff about why it was important for them to choose a vegan shoe over a leather one and what it represented."
She added: "This is the future."
The new PRIMEGREEN Stan Smith, Forever designs will be available from Adidas and select retailers by the beginning of April.

Q: Is any antivirus required in Ubuntu to use credit cards online -- suggestion needed Hope you are doing well.
I know this topic has been answered in details in one thread - Do I need to have 'antivirus software' installed?
But I am still little confused, the only thing that I use Windows 7 for now is for paying bills with credit cards.
My credit card was once hacked, so I guess I am a little paranoid.
I would really appreciate, if someone tell me if I need to install anti viruse in Ubuntu, and if yes, what I should go for?
Any help will be earnestly appreciated.
Regards

A: Reasons FOR antivirus on Ubuntu:

Q: Begging the question in Rudin? I read this in Theorem 2.35 of Baby Rudin:

Corollary. In the context of metric spaces) If $F$ is closed and $K$ is compact then $F \cap K$ is compact.
Proof. Because intersections of closed sets are closed and because compact subsets of metric spaces are closed, so is $F \cap K$; since $F \cap K \subset K$, theorem 2.35 shows $F \cap K$ is compact.

He assumes that $F \cap K$ is a compact subset in order to prove $F \cap K$ is compact.

A: That's not what Rudin says. He says that since $\;F\cap K\;$ is closed [as an intersection of closed sets] and $\;F\cap K\subset K\;$ and $\;K\;$ is compact, then so is $\;F\cap K\;$ .

A: Claim: Compact subsets of metric spaces are closed.
Proof. Suppose the compact set $K$ is not closed. Then there is a limit point $x \notin K$ such that $x_n \in K$ and $x_n \to x$ with respect to the metric.
Consider the open cover which are rings around $x$. That is, consider a sequence $\{r_n\}_{n=-\infty}^\infty$ with $r_n < r_{n+1}$. Let as well $r_n \to 0$ as $n \to -\infty$ and $r_n \to \infty$ as $n \to \infty$. Take $O_n = B_{r_{n+1}}(x)\setminus B_{r_{n-1}}(x)$. Let the open cover be then $K \subseteq \cup_{n=-\infty}^\infty O_n$.
Since $K$ is compact, there is a finite subcover. But then we exclude $O_{m}(x)$ for some smallest $m$, and hence $B_{r_{m-1}}(x) \cap K = \emptyset$. But this contradicts that $x$ is a limit point.

A: I have a Second Edition (1964) of Rudin in which the proof is given this way:

Theorems $2.26(b)$ and $2.34$ show that $F\cap K$ is closed; since
  $F\cap K \subset K$, Theorem $2.35$ shows that $F\cap K$ is compact.

Theorem $2.26(b)$ says that intersections of closed sets are closed, $2.34$ says that compact subsets of metric spaces are closed, and $2.35$ that closed subsets of compact sets are compact.

Jose Mourinho's former assistant Ricardo Formosinho is confident that Tottenham Hotspur will win silverware this season and has claimed that the players have completely bought into the Portuguese's ideas.
Formosinho served as a tactical analyst for Mourinho in North London last season but he left the club during the summer to pursue a career as a head coach.
Now based in his native Portugal, the 64-year-old is now said to be considering offers from Europe as well as the Middle East.
Formosinho is also seemingly keeping a keen eye on developments at Tottenham and he revealed that he has not been surprised by the team's impressive start to the season.
He told The National: "Nothing's surprised me because Jose is the best coach in the world,"
"I know what Jose can do. But, for sure, the Tottenham this season play better football than the Tottenham last season, because Jose needs time. All coaches need it.
"If Jose can do a great thing with a small team, he can transform a very good team. But it doesn't surprise me, because I believe and trust in Jose."
Formosinho admitted that the Portuguese coach was determined to change the players' mentality from day one and wanted the squad to develop a winning mentality.
He said: "All of us – the staff – follow the instruction of Jose. Jose is a coach with a big, big, big ambition. He looks always, every time, to win. Only one way: win. And he talked to us that we have to help him to support the players mentally.
"That's the big change of the team, to the coach before… and Pochettino is a top coach, a great coach… but Jose is a different guy, a different coach. More aggressive. It's win, win, win.
"Nobody can forget the players are young guys. They're 22, 23, 24, 25. Some of them are kids. If you can get inside their mind, that's the best thing. That's the information Jose passed to us: we have to give the players confidence. It was always based around this.
"Good confidence, and show to them that to win is much better than losing. The players have to understand, to do everything every day just to allow the good performance to win. Let's go to win, play to win. Every game is just to look for that.
"They have had time to improve. It's not easy to have the time to speak to the players. Each one is different; nobody is the same. But all of them follow Jose; that's why Jose now is very, very happy. Because the players are following his ideas, this strong mentality, this mentality to win. The players know if you sign Jose, it's only to win, win, win."
Formosinho confidently asserted that he expects Spurs to push for the Premier League title and backed Mourinho to bring silverware to North London.
He added: "I believe that Tottenham this season will win some titles. If you ask can Tottenham win the Premier League, yes they can. As you know, the Premier League is not easy to win, because five or six teams can do it. But I believe they can win the Premier League and other titles this season.
"Because the players are good, they have the best coach in the world, Jose has a very good strategy, and the players believe in him. It's very important.
"I see that the players now follow the coach, because they understand that Jose is the best one in strategy, the best coach possible. And if the players believe in him, they are in the right way."

Illegal Private Hire Driver stopped in Three Rivers
Three Rivers issued a warning to a male driver from Abbots Langley, who cannot be named for legal reasons, on Thursday 10 October 2019.
This action was taken following a test purchase, which was conducted by the Lead Licensing Officer and the police, on Monday 3 June 2019 confirming him to be illegally acting as a private hire driver. After a full investigation, the male was found to be advertising a taxi service on Facebook and had purchased a vehicle in the hope that he could offer a service for wheelchair users.
There are strict protocols for individuals wanting to obtain a private hire licence to ensure every person and vehicle licenced are 'fit and proper' and safe and suitable' to transport the general public. In this instance, no licences of any kind were held by this male, although he had spoken to the licensing department on three separate occasions who outlined the requirements for applying to be a licensed driver in Three Rivers.
As part of the test purchase, the male accepted the booking to collect the Licensing Officer from a local hotel to Heathrow airport. On arrival at the agreed location, the offender confirmed he was there for the booking at which point the Licensing Officer disclosed her true identity. A Police Officer was also on the scene and discovered the vehicle was not insured for hire and reward purposes and seized the vehicle immediately which resulted in the male receiving a fixed penalty notice for no insurance.
It is believed the male had not conducted other unlicensed bookings for members of the public as no reports have been received by the police or the licensing team.
Cllr Martin Trevett, Chairman of Licensing Committee, said: "We take a very serious view on unlicensed drivers, vehicles and operators here. We will take whatever course of action is necessary to ensure the general public is safe to travel within our district in a licensed vehicle."
Should a traveller witness or experience issues with drivers, vehicles or operators within the District, please report to the licensing team as soon as possible on 01923 776611 or email licensing.team@threerivers.gov.uk.

$54M Mercer Commons Project Approved, Pending Design Change

On Friday, Nov. 18, the Cincinnati Planning Commission unanimously approved the $53.5 million Mercer Commons development in Over-the-Rhine after a five-hour meeting. The approval came with one condition: The developer, Cincinnati Center City Development Corp. (or 3CDC), has to remake designs for a 12-unit condo building that spans most of the 1300 block of Vine Street. It is expected to present its changes to the commission on Dec. 2.
Mercer Commons is part of a broader initiative to redevelop the Over-The-Rhine neighborhood near downtown Cincinnati. It calls for the preservation and renovation of 19 historic buildings and 26 vacant parcels of land on a total of 2.67 acres between East 13th and 14th streets, as well as the construction of 126 rental units that include 30 affordable units, 28 condominiums, 17,600 square feet of commercial space and a 340-space parking garage, along with a 19-space parking lot on 14th Street. The approval allows 3CDC to break ground by the first quarter of 2012. 3CDC risked losing up to $9 million in federal and state financing for the project's affordable apartments and parking garage, had plans not been approved.
The requested changes stem from the Historic Conservation Board's concern that parts of the plan fail to meet guidelines for the Over-the-Rhine Historic District and therefore set a bad precedent. Over-the-Rhine has been named among the nation's most endangered historic places and is home to the largest collection of 19th century Italianate architecture in the nation.
3CDC is a private, non-profit corporation based in Cincinnati. It was formed in 2003 by former mayor Charlie Luken, and has had much success renovating Over-the-Rhine's aging buildings in the more than five years since it began remaking the area. Mercer Commons is the largest single development the non-profit has taken on since it began working in the neighborhood. It will be a vital link for enhancing the connections between Vine, Walnut and Main streets.

Here's why Anderson will get less snow than other parts of Upstate (or none at all)
Meteorologists are seeing "cold-air damming," which is why Anderson may get less snow than other parts of the Upstate.
Here's why Anderson will get less snow than other parts of Upstate (or none at all) Meteorologists are seeing "cold-air damming," which is why Anderson may get less snow than other parts of the Upstate. Check out this story on independentmail.com: https://www.independentmail.com/story/news/2018/12/07/anderson-sc-weather-forecast/2236726002/

A forecast releases Friday morning from the National Weather Service shows precipitation totals expected across the Upstate and Western North Carolina.(Photo: Provided/National Weather Service)
Latest forecasts for the weekend's winter storm show "a mixed bag of precipitation types," said meteorologist Andrew Kimball, of the National Weather Service forecast office in Greer.
Particularly, the areas around the Interstate 85 line are dealt with varying forecasts based on its geography, which is why Anderson may see less snow, or no snow at all, compared to Greenville County or other parts of the Upstate.
As of Friday, Anderson is expected to see rain throughout Saturday that will turn into freezing rain by Saturday night followed by some sleet into Sunday morning.
Sunday, that rain and sleet mix is expected to continue with a chance of some snow in Anderson, Kimball said. Overall, precipitation is expected to taper off later Monday.
More: Anderson winter weather forecast: 'Particularly bad' Sunday
Meanwhile, snow and ice accumulations are more likely in areas to the north.
Meteorologists are seeing what's known as "cold-air damming," a high pressure system to the north is met with an eastern flow of air, but the air can't get over the mountains so it forces the air southward, Kimball said.
"The strong eastern flow and colder temps are going to be closer to the terrain," Kimball said. "Interstate 85 parallels the mountains so the north and west side of the interstate is closer to the terrain and less likely to have a wintry precipitation."
Temperatures in the more southern areas are not quite as cold so they are more likely to get rain and freezing rain rather than snow, Kimball said.

Anderson's 3-day forecast:
Saturday: Rain is expected throughout the day with a high near 41 degrees. The chance of precipitation is 80 percent. By Saturday night, the chance of precipitation is 100 percent with low temps around 33. Between 1 and two inches of precipitation is expected.
Sunday: More rain is expected with high temps near 35. Chance of precipitation is 100 percent. Snow and sleet are likely to develop before 9 p.m. followed by a chance of rain with low temps around 32. The chance of precipitation Sunday night is 60 percent.
Monday: There's a 50 percent chance or rain with high temps near 42. The chance of rain continues Monday night mixing with snow after 8 p.m. then gradually tapering off. Low temps will be around 29 with a 30 percent chance of precipitation.

Uvalde Police Chief Pete Arredondo Resigns from City Council after Botching Shooting Response

Uvalde Police Chief Pete Arredondo resigned from Uvalde city council on Saturday more than one month after a botched police response to a mass shooting at Robb Elementary School. The Texas Department of Public Safety director Steven McCraw criticized Arredondo and other law enforcement officers for waiting more than an hour to enter classrooms where the shooter and injured and dying students and teachers were located. Police reportedly arrived 4 minutes after the shooting began. Last week, it was revealed that Uvalde Police and on-scene officers never even touched the classroom door to see if it was locked until law enforcement finally opened it, despite prior reports that law enforcement was waiting for a key to open the door. Arredondo maintains he was not the incident commander that day.
Uvalde Police Chief Pete Arredondo resigned from Uvalde city council on Saturday more than one month after a botched police response to a mass shooting at Robb Elementary School.
Uvalde Leader News reported:
Pete Arredondo told the Uvalde Leader-News on Friday that he is resigning from his seat on the Uvalde City Council.
Arredondo, the Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District police chief, was elected to the District 3 council position on May 7 and was sworn into the role on May 31, days after the May 24 mass shooting at Robb Elementary School, where 21 people died.

Arredondo maintains he was not the incident commander that day. Community members as well as the Texas Department of Public Safety director Steven McCraw have criticized Arredondo and other law enforcement officers for waiting more than an hour to enter classrooms where the shooter and injured and dying students and teachers were located.
"After much consideration, I regret to inform those who voted for me that I have decided to step down as a member of the city council for District 3. The mayor, the city council, and the city staff must continue to move forward without distractions. I feel this is the best decision for Uvalde," Arredondo said.
"As we continue to grieve over the tragedy that occurred on May 24th, we pray for the families involved and our community. Uvalde has a rich history of loving and supporting thy neighbor and we must continue to do so. In speaking with other communities that have had similar tragedies, the guidance has been the same… continue to support the families, continue to support our community, and definitely, to keep our faith.
"As I think about my life, from growing up as a child and to adulthood, Uvalde has held an attraction that is very unique. At the center of that attraction, is our community members. Together, we will keep Uvalde strong. Uvalde strong, Uvalde home."
In late May 18-year-old Salvador Ramos fatally shot 19 children and 2 adults at Robb Elementary School.
According to multiple reports, the shooter, Salvador Ramos, spent more than 40 minutes inside as loved ones and onlookers begged the police to charge into the building.
Police arrived 4 minutes after the shooting began, but Ramos continued on with his killing spree virtually uninterrupted.
A report by the Austin American-Statesman shows Uvalde police were in the hallway of Robb Elementary School with rifles and at least one ballistic shield within ten minutes of the start of the mass shooting by Salvador Ramos.
Security video screen image from 11:52 a.m. CDT shows at least five officers, two with rifles including one with a shield.
Last Tuesday, Texas of Department of Public Safety Director Steve McCraw admitted that the Uvalde Police and on-scene officers *NEVER* touched the door to see if it was locked UNTIL they breached!!
"We can never see anybody put their hand on the door of course up until the breached."

Washington, DC: 21 People Shot at House Party, 1 Dead
August 11, 2020 Local CBS Station 4
Incredible as it may sound, the politicians and the media are blaming the tragedy on the fact that the size of the party exceeded the limit during Covid lock down! Everyone in authority is playing this story with that spin.
It was "botched"?
I rather thought it went as planned.
Convince me I'm wrong.


Tehran , population (as of 2005) 7,314,000 (metropolitan: 12,151,000), and a land area of 658 square kilometers, is the capital city of Iran (Persia) and the center of Tehran Province.
More than half of the country's industry is based there. Industries include the manufacturing of automobiles, electronics and electrical equipment, military weaponry, textiles, sugar, cement, and chemical products. It is also a leading center for the sale of carpets and furniture. There is an oil refinery nearby.
Tehran is a sprawling city at the foot of the Alborz mountain range with an immense network of highways unparalleled in western Asia. It is also the hub of the country's railway network. The city has numerous large museums, art centers, palace complexes and cultural centers.
In addition to Persians, there is a large population of Azeris in Tehran, as well as other ethnicities including Armenian, Assyrian, Kurdish, Jewish and Zoroastrian communities. The majority of Tehran's residents speak Persian. The city is dotted with mosques, and there are a number of churches, synagogues and Zoroastrian fire temples.

Rihanna Reacts to Charlie Sheen's Twitter Rant
May 22nd, 2014 by K104
Photo by: Mark Davis/NBCRihanna has ruffled Charlie Sheen's feathers. The actor lashed out at the singer after she reportedly rejected his request to meet his fiancée while dining at Giorgio Baldi in Los Angeles Wednesday night.
After being denied due to the amount of paparazzi waiting outside, Charlie scolded Rihanna via Twitter for not being courteous. He then thanked her for not agreeing to the meeting, claiming that he "couldn't pick her out of a line-up at gunpoint."
"No biggie for me; it would have been 84 interminable seconds of chugging Draino and 'please kill me now' that I'd never get back," he wrote. "Sorry we're not KOOL enough to warrant a blessing from the Princess. (or in this case the Village idiot)."
Sheen also called her a "big ol liar" and criticized her pink hair writing, "Halloween isn't for a while."
"See ya on the way down, (we always do) and actually, it was a pleasure NOT meeting you," he said. "I'm guessing you needed those precious 84 seconds to situate that bad wig before you left the restaurant."
He then advised, "If ya don't wanna get bothered DONT LEAVE YOUR HOUSE! and if this 'Prison of Fame' is soooooooo unnerving and difficult, then QUIT, junior!" he said.
So how did Rihanna handle the criticism? She wrote on Twitter, "If that old queen don't get ha diapers out of a bunch…" She also told a fan, "To think that I went there to have dinner in peace like I ALWAYS DO! Not once did anyone ask to meet me or take pix, I didn't even know this old man was in there!"
Later, Sheen responded to Rihanna's "queen" comment on TMZ. "Firstly I want to thank you for recognizing me as Royalty. I'm flattered," he said. "And secondly; do the good Queen a favor and go tend to the dungeon in my Castle."

Olivia Serrano pitched the entire second game as the Regals defeated the Tigers 5-4.
LOS ANGELES— The Cal Lutheran softball team outlasted the Occidental Tigers, 5-4, in game two of a doubleheader on Saturday afternoon. The Tigers took the first game and defeated the Regals 11-3.
CLU got its second Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SCIAC) win and are 2-8 on the season. With the split, they are 8-14 overall. Occidental is now 3-18 with all three wins coming in SCIAC (3-9) play.
Cal Lutheran took an early lead as the Regals put up three runs in the top of the first inning. Kendall Marinesi got the offense going as she led off with a single down the left field line. Two batters later, Mia Onesto singled as Marinesi moved up a base.
Rachel Barker continued her hot hitting and drilled a RBI double to right center. Lauren Salvati had the next RBI as she doubled up the middle, scoring Onesto. The final run of the inning was scored off a hard hit ball by Catherine Slabaugh, resulting in a Tigers' error, and scored Barker.
CLU looked to have the momentum as the game headed to bottom of the first. Brittany Workman got the call for the Regals, however, it wasn't her day as she only lasted one inning. She gave up seven runs off six hits as CLU found themselves in a hole.
Oxy shut down the Regals after the first inning, and only allowed three hits over the next four innings. On the other side, the Tigers put up two runs in the third and fifth innings. The lead ended the game, due to the mercy rule, as Oxy defeated CLU 11-3. Workman took the loss and dropped back to .500 at 3-3.
The Regals started the second game exactly like the first, scoring three runs in the first inning. With runners on second and third, Barker lofted a sac fly to the outfield, as Marinesi raced home and Onesto advanced to third. Lexie Findley was up next and laced a ball into left field for a RBI single. With the bases loaded, CLU scored one more run, as Marissa Alfaia was hit by a pitch.
Olivia Serrano was on-point for the first two innings and only gave up one hit while striking out one batter. The Regals gave her more run support as Findley added a RBI via a sac fly in the second and Slabaugh did the same in the third.
The Tigers got to Serrano in the bottom of the third and tagged her for four runs off a grand slam. After the home run, Serrano got back into her groove. Oxy had two runners left on base, in the fourth and fifth innings, but Serrano got out of trouble with no runs scored.
Cal Lutheran looked to add to its lead in the top of the sixth. Courtney Haapanen doubled to center field to start the inning. After a fly out by Barker, Findley moved Haapanen to third with a ground out. The Regals could not add the run as the Tigers escaped and still trailed just 5-4.
The game down to the bottom of the seventh with CLU leading by just one run. Serrano struck out the first batter and got the second batter to ground out. After a single, Serrano finished off the Tigers with a strikeout, giving CLU the 5-4 win. With the complete game win, she is now 2-5.
Cal Lutheran continues the season with SCIAC opponent, Pomona-Pitzer. The Regals host the Sagehens Friday at 12 and 2 p.m.

Dedicated, Disciplined, Committed, Patriotic are ways of describing the Kingston College Cadet Unit of the Jamaica Combined Cadet Force.
The Cadet Force in Jamaica can be regarded as another youth movement run, in this case, primarily on a military basis. Its varied and interesting program has through the years offered thousands of boys then, a healthy atmosphere in which to satisfy their spirit of adventure. Most of the activities are of proven and practical values. For example, air training, where individuals not only are exposed for career development, but also a chance of knowing Jamaica from a different view. Other areas of exposure are Sea and Land training which would include radio and network communications, and last but not least music, both band and drums.
Started in 1940 as a sub Unit of the then functioning Army Training Corp in Jamaica with 20 boys. This "PINT SIZE" Unit excelled for over 3 years. Based on its functions and existence when it was being considered, Maj. DeCordova, consulted the Principal, Bishop P. Gibson on the involvement of K.C. as a pioneer Unit for the Army and Air Cadet Force.
In November of 1943, The Army Training Corp was incorporated into the newly-formed Army and Air Cadet Force with KC on parade. It was Bishop Gibson's dream that KC should be the pace setter in all aspects of endeavours.
Within Kingston College, the ideals of the Cadet Force have therefore complimented those of the school.
The AACF, unlike its predessor, the ATC, expanded its training and involvement of other schools across the nation. KC has however, maintained a standard of involvement which surpasses all other schools. This enthusiasm can be attributed to the quality and committed officers who have seen to the involvement and development of KC. Such are the likes of Lieutenants J. Burges, M. Caserly, E. Frater and H. Chapman during the period 1943 to 1949, and the champion of them all, Major Stafford "Zacky" Isaacs-Henry. For twenty selfless and glorious years he distinguished himself as the man at the helm.
The unit distinguished itself at the first NCOs Course held at Drax Hall, and again at Gibraltar Camp, Mona. Route marches and hikes to New Castle, Wareika Hills and Palm Beach among other places. Soon cadets were participating more intimately in the life of the school, parading at Chapel Services, Prize Givings, Patronal Festivals and other important functions. The annual Inspection became primarily a school function, attended by the Headmaster, staff , students and parents. Competitions have been keenly contested and performances have usually been of a highly creditable standard. Much hard work was put in at the NCO's Course held at Dinthill in 1958 where the team brought home their first trophy, The Esso Cup, awarded to the best team of Cadets at the course.
As the Cadet Force gained wider recognition, it was invited to parade on many public and ceremonial occasions both in Jamaica and abroad. On such occasions, individuals as well as detachments from Kingston College represented the Force with distinction. In 1953 when the Cadet Standard was first trooped, it was received by the OC. Lt. Isaac- Henry. This was also the year of the Coronation and three KC cadets were numbered among the Jamaican Contingent to the celebration in Britain.
1955 - During the "Jamaica 300" celebrations, Sgts. P Maxwell and N. Hall were escorts to the Colours in honour of H.R.H. Princess Margaret's visit.
1958 - The Unit increased its establishment to one hundred cadets which included the formation of the Drum Corp.
1960 - C.S.M. W. Tinglin (The senior NCO along with eight others) attended the Centenary celebrations in Britain. The officer in charge was Maj. Isaac-Henry.
Capt. K.B. Gordon of KC, led a contingent of KC Cadets (CQMS A. Chung, D/Maj. K. McGhie, Sgt.s W. Dwyer, E. DeLisser and Cpl. C. Phillips) to the All Islands Camp in Trinidad. The visit was sponsored from funds raised by the Unit. Incidentally, this visit started the annual Cadet Exchange programme with Canada and the other Caribbean Islands.
1965 - When the Governor General presented Sgt. B. Pitter of KC with the Duke of Edinburgh Award again for Jamaica this was a first. First time in Jamaica. First Cadet and the first boy to have received this award. Fittingly at this time with the most outstanding cadet in the Island, KC won the Ruel Vaz Trophy for the first time.
1968 - The Unit won the Ruel Vaz Trophy for the second time. The Unit increased its establishment to 150 as a brass Band was added to the existing Drum Corp.
1971 - The Unit won the Ruel Vaz Trophy for the third time.
1972 - The Unit lost its Band due to theft of most of its instruments and so the school decided to convert the Band room into a regular class room.
Claude Oakley appointed the first R.S.M. for the Cadet Force.
1974 - The Unit again won the Ruel Vaz Trophy with a strength of 120 Cadets and Other Ranks on Parade.
1975 - Michael Bennett appointed the first Colour Sergeant in the Force at the Adult Rank level.
1981 - The Cadet Force change status from an all male organization to include girls and from a three to a six Battalion structure.
Since this time the Unit has not achieved much as a Unit, however, members continue to achieve individually on the academics and social areas of their lives.
1982 - C.S.M. T. Thompson gained his Private pilot License through the Cadet Force.
1999 - The unit acquired a new set of drum corp instrument courtesy of the KCOBA (New York) chapter, Past Cadet and other Old Boys.
In 1958 the Unit purchased instruments for its newly formed Drum Corp through donations from the Old Boys Association. In the midst was a Bass Drum affectionately called "Ludwig".
The bass drum is the most important instrument in a drum corp. This drum was made in England in 1957. This drum has remained functioning to this day bearing the insignia of the Army and Air Cadet Force.
One of the largest Bass drum existing in Jamaica, it has remained the pride of many parades and functions attended by the cadets. When played properly, it produces a beat for the marching troops that keep all on parade as well as spectators awake and aware. Being rope tensioned, whenever the skin bursts (which is rarely)a replacement has to be ordered from England.
Ludwig has had Queen Elizabeth smile on her visit to Jamaica in 1962 when Jamaica received its Independence and the Unit was on Parade. Many cadets who joined the Unit in the past recall times when Inspections are taking place and the Inspecting Officer takes too much time to inspect and cadets begin to faint and feel weary, a sudden beat from the Bass Drum gives them new life. One cadet recalls a fund raising route march through Harbour View with the Corp playing. The Bass drummer was a very tall and fat individual who had to be cautioned many times by the home owners that their home was being affected and at one time was given extra money by a man to play a bit softer.
Many memories, far too much to recall, centered around this instrument, that in the year 2000, when it was replaced sad faces appear among the past Cadets. It is the Units intention to keep this drum in playing condition in order to give the present and future Cadets a realistic legacy of where the Corp and the Unit is coming from.
Having retired Ludwig, he now takes his pride of place beside the saluting dais on our annual inspection and makes the link with the current crop of cadets and the old guard.
Ludwig is dead long live Ludwig.

Flower Child proves it's the little things in life that mean anything.
For the fast-casual health food chain, it's things like serving seasonal lemonade out of mason jars and ensuring each table is adorned with fresh flowers or succulents.
The restaurant is the newest addition to a fast-growing family of approachable, chef-driven dining establishments at Desert Ridge. In the last year alone, MidiCi Neapolitan Pizza, Sizzle Korean BBQ and Barrio Queen have also set up shop at the North Phoenix shopping destination.
In addition to shopping, catching a movie, painting pottery, romping around the Splash Pad or enjoying live music, Desert Ridge visitors can choose from a growing smorgasbord of classy-casual eateries.
Flower Child is one of many successful culinary ventures created by Fox Restaurant Concepts, which is also responsible for local luminaries like Culinary Dropout, Wildflower and Olive & Ivy.
The Desert Ridge location, which opened its doors two months ago, is the fourth Flower Child in the Valley; there are also locations in Arcadia, Uptown Phoenix and Scottsdale.
Flower Child's clientele is somewhere between bon vivant and bohemian. It's certainly the type of place you'd want to take your Lululemon-clad cousin visiting from L.A., but it's also a great place to take the kids for a Sunday evening dinner. A place called Flower Child is obligated to have a menu for children (right?), and with items like gluten-free mac and cheese, sweet corn and quinoa, and broccoli with parmesan, the kid's menu doesn't disappoint.
Patrons will find a designated place for their yoga mats – a wicker basket by the entrance labeled "Yoga Mat Parking" – so they can focus on enjoying a refreshing fresh-pressed juice, protein-packed wrap, from-scratch salad or a slew of seasonal goodies.
This hip hotspot is also big on sustainability. Flower Child works exclusively with farmers who respect and protect their land and livestock. They also only purchase organic produce and abide by the Environmental Working Group's "Dirty Dozen" list, a popular guide used to measure pesticide levels in food. The chain prides itself on being part of a "food revolution," promising to serve naturally raised proteins, organic fruits and vegetables and locally sourced ingredients when possible.
As far as the food goes, Flower Child focuses on vegan, vegetarian, paleo, gluten-free, dairy-free and sugar-free options. However, that doesn't mean carnivores can't enjoy their flavorful fast-casual fare. Guests can choose to add all-natural chicken, sustainable salmon, grass-fed steak or organic, non-GMO tofu to any dish.
We recommend starting with the Avocado Hummus ($7), garnished with sweet corn, radish, clementine and pumpkin seeds, and served with fresh, warm pita bread. It's hearty without being too filling, and a great dish to share between two (or more!) people.
The salads are a standout menu item, melding innovative sweet and savory elements to revitalize the senses. The Vegan Ingredient ($8) gets high marks for both taste and texture, with a mouthwatering medley of crisp romaine lettuce, cauliflower, avocado, roasted corn, baby tomatoes, sun-dried olives and sunflower seeds, lightly drizzled with a tangy lemon tahini vinaigrette. I tried it with the tofu, which is some of the best I've tried in the Valley; it's charred and crispy on the outside with a smooth, silky interior.
If you want to spice things up, try the Thai Cashew Quinoa bowl ($9), a crunchy kaleidoscope of zucchini, snap peas, celery, onions, shiitake mushrooms, jalapeño, Thai basil, cashew and red quinoa.
In addition to its bowls, wraps and salads, Flower Child is known for putting a healthy spin on classic comfort foods like mashed potatoes and mac and cheese. Consider snacking on a side of the creamy smashed organic potatoes with roasted garlic and thyme or the sautéed spinach with garlic, chili flakes and lemon alongside your preference of protein.
If you're thirsty, try a fresh juice, pressed daily ($7.50). The juice du jour when I visited was a tart, tangerine-tinged concoction with carrot, strawberry, lemon, apple and ginger.
What's on tap? Different flavors of kombucha and Arizona brews including Four Peaks White Ale, Prescott Brewing Company IPA and Lumberyard Diamond Down Lager, with the option to "make it a shandy" (add lemonade) for an extra 50 cents.
Flower Child offers counter service only, and there is almost always a line, which gives you time to peruse the menu. If you're feeling indecisive, the cashiers are all extremely knowledgeable about each menu item and can describe each dish in more detail if asked. Employees often mill around the dining area as well, in case customers have any questions or concerns after they order.
As for the ambience, Flower Child is a haven dedicated to healthy eating in a hip, hospitality-driven environment that is slightly reminiscent of a spacious, upscale greenhouse. The 4,461-foot space features large sash windows and white brick walls covered in colorful murals and a cluster of eclectic wall art including framed posters, mirrors, bird cages and a canary yellow cuckoo clock. Sage-hued shelves line the edge of the ceiling, supporting a collection of potted plants, vintage watering cans, stacks of books and ornate vases. The color scheme is heavily dominated by bright greens and yellows.
It's almost always bustling at Flower Child, but there are more than enough tables to support the throngs of hungry customers. Cozy booths and tables with wicker chairs are plentiful inside, while a sprawling patio accommodates guests outside. Though outdoor seating wasn't a popular choice when I visited in the summer, it's sure to be well-trafficked in the cooler months.
The food is on the pricier side (expect to pay roughly $20 per person), and the portions are small, but at Flower Child, you are paying more for quality than quantity.
And while you may not have the type of lifestyle where you can stop in for a late lunch and leisurely read a book after hot yoga, Flower Child is also a great place to stop for a light bite before heading to AMC so you don't feel so guilty about gorging on popcorn.
It's the little things, after all.

in VPN Reviews
With a name like 'Perfect Privacy', users will come to expect airtight security and data protection methods from the Virtual Private Network. With the company being based in Switzerland, adopting a strict 'No Logging' policy and making use of industry-standard encryption to mask user data, this may very well be the case.
However, does the VPN hold up in other aspects as well? Is it fast enough? Does it have dedicated servers for unblocking streaming services? Is customer support top-tier? We'll be addressing all of these questions in our review.
Perfect Privacy VPN at a Glance
Based in Switzerland
Strict 'No Logging' policy
Permits an unlimited number of devices to connect simultaneously
Permits Torrenting
Pricing starts off at $8.95 per month when you sign on to the two-year plan.
The jurisdiction in Switzerland and 'No Logging Policy'
Though located in Europe, Switzerland is not part of the European Union. This means that it isn't subject to the strict data retention laws that all EU countries must follow. While Switzerland does have its own laws regarding the retention of user traffic data, these conveniently do not apply to VPN companies.
What this essentially means is that the Swiss government does not force VPN companies to keep logs of their user's data. This includes your IP address, destination URLs, metadata, session timestamps, browser history and more. As a result, Perfect Privacy can always stay true to their word when they say that they follow a 'No Logging Policy'.
Furthermore, Switzerland does not have strict censorship or internet regulations in general, making it a very appealing location for VPN companies.
Strong Data Encryption and Tunneling Protocols
Perfect Privacy offers OpenVPN as the default tunneling protocol. A tunneling protocol is a way to transfer data anonymously over public networks. Despite being open-source software, OpenVPN's security is rock-solid thanks to the 256-bit encryption it uses. How strong is 256-bit encryption exactly? Let's just say it's used by both the FBI and CIA and most major banks in order to mask sensitive data.
The biggest downside with using OpenVPN is that it's not the fastest protocol out there. In addition, it may not work with iOS devices. Fortunately Perfect Privacy offers IPSec, SSH, SOCKS5, and PPTP as well.
User-Friendly Application
A lot of the VPNs available in the market don't have a user-friendly front-end. Most of us expect to be able to select a server and then fire up the connection with the press of a button. In addition, we'd like to have all the customizability option visible or at least easily accessible. Fortunately, Perfect Privacy's built-in app provides this exact experience.
One of the first things you'll notice is that its layout and look is quite streamlined, making navigation quite a breeze. Want to change the tunneling protocol or jump to a different server? Just go to the options tab and it's all in there. Simple!
The only downside is that it takes about thirty seconds to switch severs. This is significantly slower than most other popular paid VPNs in the market. In fact, certain VPNs allow you to do this instantaneously.
What if your VPN connection is suddenly interrupted while you're browsing? In such scenarios, your information will be immediately exposed to outside parties. Fortunately, Perfect Privacy offers a Kill Switch feature that prevents this from happening.
A Kill Switch is a feature that's present in a lot of top-tier VPNs. When turned on, it will immediately cut off your device's access to the internet the very instant that your VPN connection is disrupted. This way, you won't continue browsing while unaware of the fact that your data isn't masked anymore.
Using Perfect Privacy's app, you can configure the Kill Switch to work in three different levels:
Activate while tunnel is active
Activate while program is active
Activate permanently
Excellent Email Support
For most technical issues with VPNs, we tend to want to reach out to the support staff through email. With most VPN companies, the response time is quite slow and sometimes even non-existent. Fortunately, Perfect Privacy is a very welcome exception to this norm. Not only will you get a response from the support staff but it will be done so within 12 hours, typically. Furthermore, the support staff is very knowledgeable, meaning that you won't have to look elsewhere to find a solution for the issue you're experiencing, regardless of how technical it is.
In addition, Perfect Privacy's support staff is known for going the extra mile to get you sorted. For instance, they will even log onto TeamViewer to fix the issue then and there.
Not the Best Option for Netflix
In all fairness, Perfect Privacy does not claim to be the very best at bypassing Netflix's geo-restrictions. If your primary reason for purchasing a VPN is accessing Netflix, then we recommend looking at other options. For example, both ExpressVPN and NordVPN are one of the best choices for unblocking streaming services.
Relatively Slow Download Speeds
There are many super-fast VPNs available in the market today. Unfortunately, Perfect Privacy isn't one of them. Even while connected to local servers, the speed loss is typically more than 30%, which is quite appalling when compared to VPNs like SurfShark or NordVPN. However, if you're not going to be doing anything intense like gaming or streaming, you should be able to manage with this speed cap.
Low Number of Servers
The company owns only around 55 servers spread across 26 countries. This an extremely low number, especially considering both ExpressVPN and NordVPN's server count is upwards of three thousand! A low server number means less number of virtual IP addresses and slow speeds.
Device Compatibility could use some Work
While Perfect Privacy does allow you to connect an unlimited number of devices, it doesn't provide the same level of support for different platforms. While it does provide apps for Windows, Android, and iOS, you'll have to implement workarounds to connect devices that use other operating systems. If you're not familiar with DNS and ports, then this can be quite a hassle.
No Live Chat
Despite having excellent e-mail support, Perfect Privacy does not offer 24/7 Live Chat. In this aspect, it is far behind when compared to other modern VPNs.
It's a bit pricey
If you want to subscribe on a month-to-month basis, you'll end up having to pay $12.99 a month. So if you plan on using Perfect Privacy for a long time, it might be more cost-effective to go with the one year or two-year plan.
Perfect Privacy is a very secure VPN. It's located in VPN-friendly Switzerland, follows a 'No Logging' policy, comes with a Kill Switch and uses the proper industry-standard encryption to mask traffic data. In addition, it offers excellent customer support via email.
However, it does fall short on some other aspects including speed, server count, lack of a Live Chat feature, not being able to unblock Netflix most of the time and so on.
To sum it up, if your main concern is security then Perfect Privacy seems like a very good option. If you care about speed and advanced features as well, we suggest you consider another VPN.
Perfect Privacy
78% Score
With a name like 'Perfect Privacy', users will come to expect airtight security and data protection methods from the Virtual Private Network. With the company being based in Switzerland, adopting a strict 'No Logging' policy and making use of industry-standard encryption to mask user data, this may very well be the case.

Downloaded the map to my Triumph America 15 and immediately felt the difference in the ride feel.
No hesitation, no dead spot, take off is smooth and acceleration is nice.
In total bike feels awesome. Worthy investment.
Good step by step manual. Tune 2 used and the increase in torque and horsepower is very nice, but for every day riding the smoothness in all revs is phenomenal. No hesitation and hick-ups in low revs or stall at low rev take off or breaking at traffic lights.
Speedmaster 2013, tune 2, breath, SAI gone, O2 gone, great throttle at low rpm, pulls through fourth and fifth. From USA across the pond and back, installed in less than two weeks. Great bang for the buck, what more can I say. You have a great product.
Thank you for the new mapping. It made a big difference. It is much smoother especially down low. The new calliper has also made a marked improvement in braking. I ride mainly in the Hinterland of the Gold Coast lots of twists and turns and those pesky push bikes. Thanks.
I have a 2010 Speedmaster. I installed a DNA filter. TTP Breathe, AI gone, O2 gone, and long slash-cut Trident pipes.
The low speed snatchiness, dead spots, hesitation, and just miserable low speed behaviour is now a thing of the past. Beautiful, easy modulation of the throttle produces smooth acceleration and plain ear to ear joy. This tune has transformed the bike into a different machine. I'm verypleased.
Small inputs to the throttle are rewarded with no issues of past. The throttle is so smooth and easy to control now.
Well done, TTP!! I highly recommend.
Speedmaster Tune 2 without speed limiter!
Anyone out there who has a 2011-2013 Triumph Speedmaster/America will be all too familiar with the speed limiter that kicks in at about 5500 revs that Triumph failed to inform us about in any road test articles.
Thanks to the guys at TTP this is no longer a problem. Their tune 2 has eliminated this problem, my bike runs great through out rev range and up to 7000 rpm in 5th gear.Bike feels great and unrestricted now, the way a Triumph twin should be, hope this info helps.


Ebay has announced that it is to sponsor the British Fashion Council's Fashion Forward initiative.
In a multi-season deal, the UK online marketplace will help to support emerging British design talent through the programme starting at London Fashion Week this September.
Caroline Rush, chief executive of the British Fashion Council said: "Fashion Forward is one of the British Fashion Council's talent support initiatives; designed to help emerging British designers show and develop their businesses here in London.
"In its sixth year it has grown to encompass both womenswear and menswear designers and now supports seven designers each year; making this the perfect time to announce eBay as its new sponsor. Ebay's sales statistics are overwhelming and we hope they will help to bring opportunities to the designers they support."
This year's Fashion Forward designers include six-time NEWGEN sponsorship winner Mary Katrantzou, pattern and colour guru Louise Gray, womenswear designer Henry Holland and menswear designer James Long. Melanie Smallwood, head of Ebay's fashion brands, will sit on the panel that decides the next round of designers to be supported by programme. These will be announced in January 2013.
Commenting on the partnership, Smallwood said: "Ebay is more than just an auction house, it's a shopping destination like no other. You'll find high street brands selling direct alongside smaller boutiques and international businesses as well as consumer sellers. Ebay Fashion unites style seekers and enables you to shop anytime and anywhere. Partnering with the British Fashion Council provides an opportunity to show our support to emerging British fashion talent, helping them to develop the long-term success of their businesses."
SS13 will mark the start of the partnership, with eBay Fashion planning a series of activities. This will include Ebay supporting 'Born to Shop', the biggest ever online fashion auction which forms a part of the Save the Children's No Child Born to Die Campaign. Designers, celebrities and UK fashion media will donate up to 200 items for the auction, which takes place over London Fashion Week, with the aim of raising £50,000 for the charity.

Newspoll: 52-48 to Labor
The first published opinion poll of the campaign records no change in Labor's modest yet decisive lead.
The Australian brings us a second Newspoll in consecutive weeks, perhaps portending weekly results from now to the election. It shows no change from last week on two-party preferred, with Labor maintaining its 52-48 lead, but both major parties are up on the primary vote – Labor by two and the Coalition by one, leaving them tied on 39%. The Greens are steady on 9% and One Nation are, interestingly, down two to 4%. All we are told of the leaders' ratings at this stage is that they are "virtually unchanged". Scott Morrison is unchanged on 45% approval and up one to 44% disapproval; Bill Shorten is unchanged on both measures, at 37% and 51%; and preferred prime minister is likewise unchanged, at 46-35 in favour of Morrison. The poll was conducted Thursday to Sunday from a sample of 1697.

"Josh Wilson has been condemned by Jewish groups after it emerged he'd said Palestine was being turned into "Swiss cheese"."
Has he?? Seriously not going to make any difference in Fremantle. I'd think that a lot of the ALP and Greens supporters here are actually rational enough to support the positions of both Josh and Melissa Parkes about Israel in the context of the Israeli / Palestinian problem.
If there are issues in this election that people care about, Israel / Palestine rates pretty low on people radar. Not going to shift any votes.

I love it that there are local aboriginal stories of some of the volcanoes around Mount Gambier erupting (the last happened around 5000 years ago), and similar stories of some in Western Victoria.
Indigenous people of Melbourne told the first European arrivals that the Yarra used to flow through Port Phillip Bay, which was land, and then empty into Bass Strait at the Rip. Decades later this was shown to be true and was the case around 20,000 years ago or thereabouts.
And he also says that Hunt had been plotting to become Liberal leader with Dutton as leader going back to when Labor first regained office in 2007! 😮

"On both the left and the right. It's actually of low relevance to us but is used by various sides to out or embarrass their opponents."
I agree. Boerwar's tentacled alter-ego set out some conflicts that are far worse, far closer and of more relevance to Australia.
But bullshit needs to be called out.

And echidnas in New Guinea. Rare to see here – rarer over there apparently.
One of my favorite wildlife encounters is with a baby echidna in western Vic. It was tiny, less than a quarter of the size of an adult. So as it had buried it's snout I just laid down in front of it and determined to be as quiet as possible. After a few minutes it raised its snout, with it's little beady eyes, it was gorgeous! Unforgettable.
Shut up. You make me yearn for my youth running through the bush.

'Another guy who says that we're in surplus and Labor just want to spend all our money.'
Just to make the point, lots and lots of people think this.
The media told them there was a surplus.
It's so freakin basic….and politically deadly for Labor.
I can't believe some here don't get it.
We all get it – at least I do. The problem is that Labor is playing to its weakness in trying to argue against it. Every word spent trying to counter the bullshit is a word that could be spent sending the health message (and education which, I suspect, is coming in this campaign). Labor gets a bigger bang for the voting buck in the current political environment by doubling down on its strengths, rather than wasting time and energy trying to stem minor losses on areas that were never going to win many votes for them.
Pica.
Yep. Nice part of the world. Just curious, thought it may have been further west, over Portland way.

I wonder how Wilson feels about Albaneses's refusal to endorse his comments / facts.
"Is he a local "Liberal"?"
If he is, some journo will out him pretty quickly. That would be a very basic thing to check before writing anything on this.
On how it would play politically?
Shorten seems to have handled this intervention well in the moment as it was happening. Made it personal and genuine.
If the bloke turns out to be a Liberal plant then no prob. ALP will govern for everyone and doesn't matter what your politics you can still get sick. We will hear you and try to help.
Only downside would be if he turned out to be a Labor plant. Which he will be accused of if anyone discovers he may have been a union member at anytime in his life (and then he;s a union THUG! ) or possibly walked within 200m of a union or alp meeting at any point. 🙂

Cassowaries are often raised from young chicks to adulthood in many parts of PNG. They are very aggressive and kept in compounds, cages or hobbled and tied to a stake or tree. They are the most desirable of red bird meat, having had the opportunity on a number of occasions to feast on their meat.

I don't watch broadcast TV much (more into streaming) but I happened to have the TV on a commercial network yesterday evening and it was saturated with Labor ads. Don't think I heard a Liberal one (although I heard one a few nights before so I know they're happening.)
Basically Shorten giving his elevator pitch in a positive tone. FWIW, he does come across a little flat but his message is spot-on: focusing on issues like healthcare, education and taxing the rich. So, it's definitely not tone-deaf and fortunately not awkwardly trying to sound like a charismatic, messianic figure nor are they falling into the trap of trying to patch perceived weaknesses (i.e. trying to sell themselves as deficit hawks or strong on borders.)
Not memorable but at least it's putting the cards on the table, so good job.
I think Sukkar has had his one Morrison visit of the campaign. Morrison will not go to Deakin again – looks desperate in a seat they hold by 6% and reminds people that Sukkar was a big backer of Dutton.
Amazed to see Sukkar out of hiding in Deakin. A rare sighting since last August!

As a CFA volunteer you would expect a Liberal Party connection – where did the "Save the CFA", Murdoch backed donations finish up once revealed?
The resolution of the demarcation dispute between the Metropolitan Fire Brigade and the Country Fire Service was used for political purposes by the Liberals and Murdoch – and will now resolve based on turf
The CFA is a branch office of the Liberal Party

How Shorten's visit in Deakin to chat with a "fair dinkum" family was reported in the local paper – The Whitehorse Leader:
But the Labor trio weren't in a talkative mood, with Mr Shorten taking only three questions posed by reporters – one on the chances of winning Deakin, one on negative gearing and the last on MPs in Queensland being gagged about talking about Adani's bid to start mining in Queensland.
The Whitehorse Leader is a Murdoch paper, so it would be totally unbiased!!!

That side-to-side swaying with a smug expression always means that Morrison has a prepared answer and is not actually listening to the questioner. It is quite irritating.
And as for "slamming Labor on debt" – interesting when they have doubled the national debt in under six years.
In my youth in the late 1960s and early 1970s I was a strong supporter of Israel.The kibbutz system was very attractive to a young socialist. Over time as i became more aware of what was actually happening I began questioning my position. My awareness of the reality was helped by information from a young couple of Israeli socialists who had migrated to Perth because they had lost faith in Israel. Over time I have moved to be a strong supporter of Palestine. I know it is offensive to say this and that is why I say it. The Jewish right learnt a lot from the Nazis. I am long tired of political correctness helping to hide the atrocities being committed in Palestine and hidden in the name of the the Genocide.

Hidden? Shades of Andrew Bolt declaring that his free speech has been crushed.
Good lineup on Qanda tonight..
A Labor Government needs to do something to counter the malign influence of the Murdochracy. It's not a free speech issue. It is not healthy for one organisation to have such a stranglehold.
So media diversity laws, not allowing one organisation to own more than x% of a market, where x < 50. If the Murdochocracy can't expand, maybe they'll divest voluntarily.
Or maybe truth in media laws. You can't make shit up and publish it as news. That would destroy their business model.
Or maybe just make the organisation pay its tax. Faced with that, maybe they'll bugger off.
Love the rich aboriginal history around the South West also. The Gunditjmara believe that more than 30,000 years ago, the creation spirit Budj Bim revealed himself in the landscape by forming a huge volcano that we now know as Mt Eccles. Budj Bim then shared his blood and his teeth with this people in the form of a lava flow that formed the wetlands that the Gunditjmara made their home.
Budj Bim and Lake Condah are nominated for World Heritage listing with an answer expected in Mid 2019.
Yes. I look forward to Labor ramping up on this during the campaign.
Why do you prioritize Israel?
When was the last time you got stuck into China's treatment of the Uighers. One in every 25 Uighers is in a concentration camp. The treatment of those not in concentration camps is brutal and amounts to cultural genocide.
When was the last time you got stuck into Myanmmar for the Rohingya ethnic cleansing? An entire people murdered, raped and burned out of their homelands and turned into refugees.
When was the last time you got stuck into Indonesia for the colonization with extreme cruelty of West Irian?
When you get stuck into Israel do you at the same time get stuck into Iran for its grand vision for pushing Israel's Jews into the sea?
HughB says:
The whole ant-semitism thing smacks of someone seeing the damage it did to UK Labour last year and deciding it's worth a go here.
Millennial says:
Obviously the easiest solution to the Israel/Palestine conflict is to just give all the land to Montenegro.
I think I demonstrated that my free speech has not been crushed. I do not give a fuck about anything that Bolt may say. Free speech also allows us to ignore the speech of others. My pointy was that Israel has used the genocide to justify committing some things disturbing like it against the Palestinians. There is a large difference between a Jew and a zionist.
I love it but you may need legal assistance when the aliens sue.,
This is why I hate the Israel/Palestine debate. There is no bloody nuance and everyone argues in the worst possible faith. Everyone's either going to be labelled an anti-semite who would've pushed the switches at Auschwitz, or a Netanyahu-loving authoritarian who supports shooting Palestinian teenagers for yelling too loud. And it doesn't help that both the extremes yell the loudest and neither side is willing to address its more problematic elements.
'HughB says:
It certainly continues to damage British Labour. Whether it will continue to damage Australian Labor is primarily up to the members, MPs and leadership. I have no doubt at all that these, combined, will keep anti-semitism at bay.
The Australian has a headline that says that SH-Y and Larissa Waters might be in a spot of bother in the Senate.
Does anyone know whether this has any basis other than the standard Oz bastardry?

Woman sues Duke over being cut from team
GREENSBORO, N.C. -- A former Duke University special teams star testified Tuesday that Heather Sue Mercer was the best placekicker on the team in the spring of 1995.
"She packed a powerful punch," Tijon Redmon said of his former teammate, who has sued the school in federal court claiming she was cut from the team as a placekicker because of her gender.
Duke's attorneys contend that Mercer's lack of leg strength was a key factor in the decision to cut her from the squad.
Mercer, who walked on as a kicker her freshman year in 1994, claims Duke violated the Title IX amendment that prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in educational programs receiving federal funds.
Mercer sued the university three years ago and graduated in 1998. She now works for Charles Schwab & Co. in New York.
Her mother, Diana Mercer, testified that former Duke coach Fred Goldsmith told them during a meeting "the biggest mistake I ever made in my life was saying that you were on the team."
She said Goldsmith continued by saying that his own daughter was an excellent pitcher on the boy's Little League team when she was young, but she grew out of it.
Her daughter was depressed after Goldsmith's comments, but was determined to play and went to practice, but had to wear shorts and sneakers because she wasn't allowed in uniform.
"I told her these people are discriminating against you," Diana Mercer testified. "To me this was emotional abuse. These people are never going to give you a chance."
One of the first witnesses to testify Tuesday was Redmon, who played for Duke from 1991 through 1995, when he set the NCAA record for kickoff returns with 1,065 yards.
Redmon said he first noticed Mercer's kicking skills in 1995 when she was one of three kickers on the spring team.
"Of the three we had, she was the most accurate," Redmon testified. "In my mind, she was definitely the best kicker we had that spring.
"When she kicked it, you could hear a thud."
When it came time to choose sides for the Blue-White game, which marks the end of the spring practices, Mercer was the first kicker chosen. At the end of a close game, she came through for Redmon's Blue team with a game-winning 28-yard field goal.
The five-woman, three-man jury watched a videotape of Mercer's heroics, which ended with several Duke players lifting her up to celebrate the victory.
Under cross-examination by Duke attorney John Simpson, Redmon acknowledged that some of Duke's best placekickers did not participate in spring practice in 1995. Starting placekicker Tom Cochran was nursing a pulled groin muscle and another kicker also was not in camp.
"Was Heather Sue Mercer the best kicker for Duke in the 1995 season?" Simpson asked.
"No, Tom Cochran was the best kicker," Redmon said.
Earlier Tuesday, Mercer's high school coach said she contributed substantially to a team that won the state championship.
"For us, she was very good," Yorktown High School coach Ron Santavicca testified. "I'd say her range was 35 to 40 yards. Not too many high school kickers can do much better than that. But the key to Heather's success was her accuracy."
Santavicca coached Mercer in the early 1990s at Yorktown High School in Yorktown Heights, N.Y. She was the first-string kicker during the 1993 season, when she made 28 of 31 extra point attempts and four of seven field goals. The team was 11-1 that year and a state champion.
Simpson asked Santavicca about the high school team's one defeat in the 1993 season. "Isn't it true that you lost the game because Ms. Mercer missed a 30-yard field goal?" he asked Santavicca.
"No," the coach responded. "We lost because we stunk. She made one out of two that day."
Simpson also asked if it was true that Mercer did not handle kickoffs because she lacked the leg power. "I didn't need her to do that," Santavicca said. "She could have kicked off."
Mercer's attorneys are later expected to call former Washington Redskins kicker Mark Moseley to testify that she had the skills to succeed at the college level. Duke's witnesses include former football coach Fred Goldsmith, former North Carolina coach Bill Dooley and former N.C. State coach Mike O'Cain.
Mercer is seeking, among other things, damages for emotional distress, humiliation and periods of depression. Her lawyers have said that she wants to use any money she's awarded to establish a scholarship for female placekickers.
