The Guardian Membership Programme: is it on the right lines?
Posted on 14 Sept 2014 by AshleyKirk with 2 comments
The Guardian's new membership-driven strategy, announced on Wednesday, stands in direct opposition to the paywalls of publications like the Times. Where its best weapon lies is in recognising that the media's value is in building a strong relationship with its community, instead of selling access to its information - but does its proposed model really offer both itself, and its reader, the best option?
A big part of the move involves a massive live events venue, or conference centre - renovated from a former railway building close to the Guardian's Kings Place office. At this venue, there'll be discussions, debates, interviews, speeches and festivals, moving the organisation further away from being 'just a newspaper'. People can now pay for Guardian membership which provides access to its events.
Joining the Guardian
As editor-in-chief Alan Rusbridger put it: "You've read the Guardian. Maybe, in recent times, you've listened to, or watched the Guardian. You may have come to our building to learn with the Guardian, in one of our series of Masterclasses. Now you can join the Guardian."
So what do you get by joining the Guardian? Why would you want to become a member? Surely it has to be more than simply an event-based concept. Well, yes, it's tiered payment system provides the potential for effective community engagement. As the image below shows, there is a free option to be a Friend of the publication - but to become a Partner or Patron costs a fair amount of money.
Friends of the paper get access to the Guardian's online material, as readers do now, and can get access to the live events. If, however, you're willing to part with some cash, a Partner (£15/ month) can get a discount on the event tickets, book them in advance and even watch lifestreams of the events. Patrons (£60/ month) obtain special access to private events and "unique experiences".
So, it seems somewhat analogous to being a member of a political party. Most grassroots supporters of the Conservative Party get very little out of the connection, except perhaps a lot of spam asking them to donate more to the cause. Minus the spam, the Guardian's membership programme promises to act in the same kind of way - allowing individuals to support the newspaper. At the same time, the membership does come with some real benefits - whether these are worth £540 a year (for the most expensive Patron membership) is open for debate until we see what these events will be.
The Guardian already puts on masterclasses, conferences and other events, so that's nothing new. Other news organisations, such as The New York Times, offer similar membership-based events, so the concept isn't unique. Except for the fact that they'll now take place in a brand-new shiny building. Just like their move to Kings Place in the first place, the sheer audacity of the scale of the Guardian's project sets it apart. Once again, the organisation is flying in the face of the streamlining of other news publications by expanding in a massive way.
They've "taken the plunge", according to Rusbridger, building an entire building dedicated to community engagement. He speaks of "deepening the intense bond between the producers and consumers of what we do", stating that "the only relationship our journalists have is with our readers", courtesy of the security the Scott Trust provides the Guardian.
"The more digital the world becomes, so the appetite for physical meet-ups and live events grow"
There are, however, concerns with this model. Surely, by introducing a scheme whereby people can pay for "unique experiences" at the Guardian, people will be able to pay to get the eyes and ears of heretofore unbiased, liberal and independent editors. The chance of mingling with high-profile people from the Guardian inevitably raises such questions, and so proper protection needs to be in place to ensure that people cannot pay to influence content.
Another massive issue comes when we consider someone from Newcastle, or Manchester, of Edinburgh. Are they expected to get drive, train or fly down to London to make the most of their Guardian membership? Once again, the media's London-centric attitude has let it down.
Still, on the whole, behind the Guardian's move is a concept rightfully heard all over the media: community engagement. Instead of blocking off their information from the public by forcing them to pay for it, they've encouraged people to form a community, offering different options for different purses whilst never alienating people from the public service that is journalism.
The newspaper's status as a reliable source of information is its biggest attribute. The Guardian's move ensures that content remains free, whilst also giving the opportunity for closer links with readers who wish to financially invest in such a relationship. No walls; no barriers. Just as information should remain - but the jury's still out on whether it's sustainable.

Suitcase on porch and kicked in door at EZ Bail Bonds on North Washington.
Local Bail Bonds Company Robbed, LIVINGSTON, December 21, 2010 - Shortly before midnight on December 20, 2010, A&A EZ Bail Bonds in Livingston was victimized in a break in robbery. According to manager Jeannie Barnett a man by the name of Justin Richman (aged 27 - 30) demanded that Barnett let him in the business. Barnett refused and Richman kicked the door in and grabbed a money bag with only a check for $50 inside and got away. Barnett stated that Richman had briefly worked for the Bail Bonds company to pay off a bond for stalking. She stated that some of his belongings were in the building packed in suit cases when he was demanding entry. Barnett told him to look in the back of the building. When Richman went around to look, she opened the front door placing his belongings on the front porch. When Richman returned to the front, he demanded entry and Barnett refused. According to Barnett, Richman was drunk and threatened to hold her hostage. He then kicked the door in and Barnett ran out the back door screaming for help. Richman grabbed the money bag and allegedly fled on foot. Officers from Livingston Police Department were dispatched to the scene of the crime while a search of the area was underway by Livingston Police and Deputies from the Polk County Sheriff's Office. At time of press, Justin Richman has not yet been found. Barnett stated that Richman sometimes resides under the Choates Creek Bridge on US-146 in town.
Officer Adam Williford with Livingston Police Department gets a statement from Manager Jeannie Barnett.
The frame of the door shows the damage from the door being kicked in.
A visibly upset Jeannie Barnett talks on her cell phone following the break in robbery.

Q: Explanation of incorrect argument for Ellipse Area?
Why is the following argument incorrect?
I was thinking that if only either a or b were positive, then the line of reasoning 2ab=a2 + b2 could not be used to begin with, but I am unsure as to whether or not that answers the question.

A: This method for computing the ellipse's area can be made to work, but $r$ is the wrong Jacobian because the $\theta$ in the ellipse parameterization isn't the usual polar angle. Let's rename it $t$, and use $\theta$ for the true polar angle. Then$$\frac{b}{a}\tan t=\frac{y}{x}=\tan\theta\implies d\theta =\frac{\frac{b}{a}\sec^2tdt}{1+\frac{b^2}{a^2}\tan^2t}=\frac{abdt}{a^2\cos^2t+b^2\sin^2t}=\frac{abdt}{r_\max^2(t)},$$where a ray from the origin to the perimeter is $r\in[0,\,r_\max(t)]$. Since$$dxdy=rdrd\theta=\frac{abrdrdt}{r_\max^2(t)},$$the ellipse's area is$$\int_0^{2\pi}dt\int_0^{r_\max(t)}\frac{abrdr}{r_\max^2(t)}=\int_0^{2\pi}dt\frac{ab}{2}=\pi ab.$$

While working as a waitress in Spain I was once asked by a fellow Englishman if I had ferrets and lived on a farm because I was from the north.
Also while working at the same job another English customer told me 'oh, you're actually quite intelligent despite your stupid northern accent'.
While working as an English teacher in Spain, a student once asked me why I didn't 'autocorrect myself and at least try to speak in standard English'.


Hi Jennifer. You sure can use the Disney transportation between the theme parks. In fact, Magic Kingdom will require you to select the monorail or boat to travel from the main transportation hub where you park your car.
From your hotel, I recommend you simply travel directly to the parking lot for the park you are visiting. As a frequent visitor who arrives via car, I find the quickest and most efficient way to switch between parks is driving ourselves. I say this for a few reasons. Once you pay for parking at the first park, you can use this pass at any of the other parks. Also, I find that the time it takes to drive ourselves is sometimes quicker than waiting and arriving via Disney transportation. This way you also end the day with your car located close to your last place of first.
However, if you prefer to travel via Disney transportation, a good central location is Disney's main transportation hub which as I mentioned above is located by the Magic Kingdom parking lot. From here you can take monorails to either Epcot or Magic Kingdom, making it a good central place to park.

In 1983 BMW took the M88/3 engine, a modified version of the M88/1 from the BMW M1 and put it in the E24 chassis of the BMW 6-Series, creating the M635CSi (called M6 in North America).
The M6 was critically acclaimed throughout its lifespan for its elegant, aggressive "shark-nose" styling, its luxury equipment, and its performance. A top speed of 158 mph makes the European version the second fastest BMW ever built next to the M1. This is due to all other BMW models being electronically restricted to 155 mph. An M6 can be distinguished from other E24 models by a larger front air dam, a rear spoiler, BBS wheels, colour matching side view mirrors, M badges on the grille and back, and slightly larger front brakes.
In North America (U.S. and Canada), the E24 M6 was fitted with the catalyzed S38B35 motor, producing 256 hp and 243 ft·lb of torque. The non-catalyzed version produced 286 bhp and 251 lb·ft of torque. The non-catalyzed versions were only available in Europe, though there were 538 catalyzed M635csi models sold in Europe in 1988 and 1989. The 1988 and 1989 M6s were "World Cars" with the same bumpers and aerodynamic treatments in all markets.
The M6 achieved 0-60 mph time of 6.0 and 6.8 seconds for the European and American versions, respectively. Quarter mile times for the European version have been recorded at 14.5 seconds while the charge to 100 mph is achieved in 15 seconds. However, Car and Driver Magazine tested the U.S. M6 in July 1987 and achieved a 0-60 mph time of 6.1 seconds.Also in 1987 Road and Track featured the U.S. M6 as one of the 10 fastest cars in America.
Production of the M6 ended in 1989, with 5,859 cars sold, 1,767 of which were North American (U.S. & Canada) models. The M6 is a legendary BMW and has held its value quite well over the years. Due to its limited production, exceptional drivability, and great looks we expect the M6 to rise rapidly in the short term. Our Ebay Policies:

2001 - 2007 Fiat Stilo Hatchback Review
This is the Carzone.ie guide to buying a used Fiat Stilo.
Fiat's mid-sized hatchback lineage has had many different names, but to replace the Brava/Bravo models in 2001, the Italian company plumped on the title Stilo for its C-segment Golf-challenger. Available for six years, the Stilo is not the most flair-laden car, but it's a little bit different from the hatchback norm, which includes the likes of the Ford Focus, the Opel Astra and the Peugeot 307 (from a similar era).
Fiat sold the Stilo as a three-door and five-door hatchback, and also as an estate known as the Multi Wagon; this last variant is one of the very few estates in history, though, which is more ungainly than the model it is based on, so it's best avoided if you care about such things. A variety of small, normally aspirated petrol engines with four cylinders were offered, in 1.2, 1.4, 1.6 and 1.8-litre guises, while alongside the mainstream range was a 1.9-litre turbodiesel badged as the JTD; all of these delivered between 80- and 133hp. Performance badging included the Sporting and GT models, with 133hp, but the range-topping variant was the Abarth – this used a 2.4-litre, 170hp inline-five petrol engine to deliver 0-100km/h in 8.5 seconds. It was later developed into a Schumacher model, to celebrate the Fiat link to Ferrari and German F1 legend Michael Schumacher. The Stilo wasn't a particularly loved vehicle when new, as it had less advanced torsion-beam rear suspension than its Brava/Bravo predecessors' multilink set-up, and few examples survive today – meaning the slightly-more-cherished performance models could be easier to find than run-of-the-mill cars. Gearboxes on the Stilo range were five- and six-speed manual units, and the five-speed Selespeed semi-automatic. This last transmission is best avoided, as it will feel crude and rough in comparison to modern dual-clutch autos.
If you can track one down, it's going to be one of the mid-ranking petrols – this will serve as cheap and cheerful transport with low running costs. Look for one of the 1.8-litre, 16-valve cars for the best performance without breaking the bank.
Fiat Stilo 1.8 16v Dynamic 5dr
Engine: 1.8-litre four-cylinder petrol
• Stands out from other European cars
• Good interior space
• Wide range of engines
• Hard to find
• Not thrilling to drive
• Petrol engines from pre-turbocharged era
The Fiat Stilo is not going to go down as a classic car in any sense of the word, but as a stylish, unusual alternative to jelly-mould C-segment hatchback rivals from the same period in time, it can make an intriguing car to seek out and enjoy.

What Does Justify Margins Mean in Microsoft?
by Filonia LeChat
If you routinely open Microsoft Office and begin typing, it may not occur to you to play with how your text appears on the page. That's because the Office Suite sets sensible defaults for you, but margin justification isn't set in stone. You may find it beneficial to vary from the default setup that Microsoft provides you with or you may determine that sticking to the straight, narrow and not-so-jagged is the way to go.
Justifying in margins has to do with where the text is aligned. Justification refers to whether the rows of text on a page appear straight up and down in line with the margin or show a ragged edge. Margin justification works in Microsoft Office programs the same way it does with other printed and on-screen text, but it's much easier to justify margins in an Office program than it is using a typewriter for example.
By default, Microsoft Office programs set a left justification. Text is aligned with the left column of the page, with the exception of items such as headers or tab stops. Left-margin justification produces a ragged right edge. Due to word wrap, not all of the text that runs to the right margin has an even edge. Right-margin justification is the opposite, and far less common when writing in English. The right sides of the text blocks are straight and even with the right side margin and their sentences stretch across the page unevenly toward the left margin. The third type of justification is sometimes called full justification or simply "Justify" in Office. This produces even, straight ends on both sides of the margins, so the text looks like a neat block, as is commonly seen in printed books. There are no ragged edges with the exception of the first line, which may have a tab, and the last line which may not be long enough to stretch across.
When you open a Microsoft program and begin typing, text always aligns with the left margin, whether you're working in an Excel spreadsheet, a Word document or a Publisher project. Justification is changeable, though, at any time. You'll find the justification buttons on the Home tab, in the Paragraph section of the ribbon. The buttons, called "Align Text Left," "Align Text Right" and "Justify" look like small lined columns. If you click a button while your cursor is on a paragraph, it changes that entire paragraph's justification – you do not have to highlight all of the lines in the paragraph. To change the margin justification on an entire document, use the ribbon's "Select All" option or pick and choose your highlight.
The main consideration when setting margin justification is whether going against the norm makes your document more difficult to read. While right justification may look poetic and even be an ideal choice when typing something decorative, it simply makes the traditional left-to-right style of reading people are used to more difficult. Another potential pitfall exists with full justification. Although it makes your text look neat and even, it creates a typographical issue called a river. Rivers are small areas of white that occur when Microsoft attempts to stretch your lines to fit both margins. If you picture opening a small spout of water at the top of your paragraph, the white areas are where the "river" would trickle through. Too much white can be distracting and interrupt your reader.

I'm a hard reader to surprise. That's to be expected, really, given what I do for a living. As a writer, editor and publisher, I'm far too involved in what makes a good story to be easily taken in by one. So, when I can't forget a story—or find myself getting sucked in to it again and again when I'm supposed to be doing something, you know, work-related—I take note.
And if a writer can surprise me, well, that's something truly unexpected.
Every writer in this bundle did just that: gave me something unexpected. Be it a twist I didn't see coming, a voice I didn't expect to hear, or an expression of emotion I wasn't prepared for, these wonderful stories gave me a great gift. And that's why I've chosen to share them with you in the SF Plot Twist StoryBundle.
Included in the bundle is Fiction River Presents: The Unexpected, edited by me. This short fiction anthology is the inspiration for the whole bundle. I've also included another short fiction anthology, Captain's Log: Boundary Shock Quarterly #1, edited by Blaze Ward, with stories ranging "from the silly to the sublime." And we have Daughter of Nothing, a young adult dystopian novel by Eric Kent Edstrom, and Magician's Choice, a space fantasy/alternate history novel by Stefon Mears.
As a bonus, we have Laying the Music to Rest, a twisty-turny time travel novel by USA Today bestselling author Dean Wesley Smith; The Falls: A Diving Universe Novel, a far future sf thriller by Hugo Award-winning author Kristine Kathryn Rusch; The Knight Deception, a near future sf thriller by Derringer Award-nominated author Ron Collins; Day 9, the 2013 International Book Award winner by Robert Jeschonek; Faster, a superhero novel by the incomparable Annie Reed; and Awaken the Star Dragon, a brand-new novel by Blaze Ward.
As always, at StoryBundle, you name your own price—whatever you feel the books are worth, and a portion of the proceeds goes to charity—in this case, AbleGamers For $5 (or more, if you feel generous), you'll get the basic bundle of four in any eBook format—WORLDWIDE. If you pay $15 (or more, if you feel generous), you'll get the six bonus books as well.
The SF Plot Twist Bundle runs for three weeks only. So, act fast, because the amazing value of the StoryBundle is no surprise at all.
Captain's Log - Boundary Shock Quarterly #1 by T.S. Paul, Blaze Ward, Ron Collins and more!


Sometimes you don't need a showy shrub. You don't need a star specimen plant. You don't need the 'wow'. You just need an easy-to-grow, plant-it-and-forget-it, give me nice greenery all year-round that will cover up/fill out/block-the-view kind of plant.
Hello, Japanese Ceyera, Ternstroemia gymnanthera!
This carefree, evergreen shrub is large, but can easily be pruned to fit the space you need. It makes a great foundation planting to hide utilities and rough edges. It is the perfect backdrop for big flowerbeds and makes a great anchor to shrub borders. Use them around pools as a screen or to cover pool equipment.
Japanese Cleyera is a good substitute for other overused, disease-prone landscape shrubs like Fraser photina or Euonymus.
In the summer it even blooms! The creamy-yellow flowers aren't big or showy, but they smell nice and after they're gone, orange-red holly-like berries take their place.
They are good in shade so they work well with Azaleas, Nandinas, Camellias and Pieris. You can also cut the branches for filler in your bouquets. The cut foliage keeps a long time and adds a nice glossy-leaved element to your vases.
Bring some simple, hardworking goodness home to your garden today! Order now.
Must have well drained soil.
Water carefully to establish then weekly as needed maintain cool moist soil.


Proposal that for a long time will cause a lot of joy riders. It gives the possibility to combine either simple slides and presses, and more complex transfers into an infinite number of combinations. Good base to design your own obstacle.

Tim is unfortunately retiring after 36 years playing for Littlehampton, Clapham and Patching. He's taken hundreds of wickets, scored plenty of runs and most importantly is part of even more stories; a brilliant guy to have in any team. As a thank you to the amazing services Tim has given to LCPCC over the 36 years, the club are extremely happy to make Tim a life member of LCPCC.

Asia Pacific Report with Sanusha Naidoo

US to host democracy summit
On December 9-10, 2021, President Biden will host the first of two Summits for Democracy, which will bring together leaders from government, civil society, and the private sector to set forth an affirmative agenda for democratic renewal and to tackle the greatest threats faced by democracies today through collective action.
South Africa will be present along with other African countries.
"Biden has created a league of democracies," says Naidoo referring to the countries invited.
Taiwan is invited based on that it is a democratic society and the relationship
The Biden administration included Taiwan among the 110 invitees to its upcoming democracy summit.
This move is intended to show solidarity with a key regional partner but risks angering China.
Including Taiwan may be the most controversial decision the administration has made about the summit, because only a handful of nations — the U.S. not among them — recognize it as sovereign.
"This is accepting that Taiwan is a separate entity from Beijing but the US does not recognize Taiwan as a sovereign state," says Naidoo.
Tennis star, Peng Shuai on harassment allegations
Former tennis star accused a former vice premier in the communist party of sexual abuse.
Peng Shuai, believed to have been missing for nearly three weeks, has held a video call with the president of the International Olympic Committee confirming her safety.
In the 30-minute call, she told Thomas Bach that she was safe and well.
"Nobody is recognizing that the way in which women are treated particularly of these kind of issues of vulnerability and acts of violence against women," says Naidoo.
30 years of China's ties with ASEAN
Chinese President Xi Jinping will attend and chair the special summit to commemorate the 30th anniversary of ASEAN-China dialogue relations to review the ties and map out further development.
The two sides have forged the largest trading partnership, the most substantial cooperation partnership and the most dynamic strategic partnership since they established the dialogue relationship in 1991.
"It is politically very significant because Asean is a very interesting strategic economic block in the East Asia context," says Naidoo.

"Jonathan Williams: Lord of the Orchards"
Posted on March 12, 2018 March 12, 2018 Author Pierre JorisTags Jeffery Beams, Jonathan WilliamsCategories Book Presentation, Celebration, Essays100
Wish I could be at Scuppernong Books in Greensboro NC, for editor Jeffery Beams, and contributors Alex Albright, Thorns Craven, Neal Hutcheson, & Tom Patterson' presentation of their excellent book Jonathan Williams: Lord of the Orchards on Thursday, March 15, 7pm. JW is one of the great neglectorino poets of the 2nd part of the 20C. One of the best ears & finest eye I know of. If you can't be there get the book. Here's how Jefferey Beams announces the reading:
Jonathan Williams' work of more than half a century is such that no one activity or identity takes primacy over any other—he was the seminal small press publisher of The Jargon Society; a poet of considerable stature; book designer; editor; photographer; legendary correspondent; literary, art, and photography critic and collector; early collector and proselytizer of visionary folk art; cultural anthropologist and Juvenalian critic; curmudgeon; happy gardener; resolute walker; and keen and adroit raconteur and gourmand.
Williams' refined decorum and speech, and his sartorial style, contrasted sharply, yet pleasingly, with his delight in the bawdy, with his incisive humor and social criticism, and his confidently experimental, masterful poems and prose.
His interests raised "the common to grace," while paying "close attention to the earthy." At the forefront of the Modernist avant-garde—yet possessing a deep appreciation of the traditional—Williams celebrated, rescued, and preserved those things he described as, "more and more away from the High Art of the city," settling "for what I could unearth and respect in the tall grass." Subject to much indifference—despite being celebrated as publisher and poet—he nurtured the nascent careers of hundreds of emerging or neglected poets, writers, artists, and photographers.
Recognizing this, Buckminster Fuller once called him "our Johnny Appleseed", Guy Davenport described him as a "kind of polytechnic institute," while Hugh Kenner hailed Jargon as "the Custodian of Snowflakes" and Williams as "the truffle-hound of American poetry." Lesser known for his extraordinary letters and essays, and his photography and art collecting, he is never only a poet or photographer, an essayist or publisher.
This book of essays, images, and shouts aims to bring new eyes and contexts to his influence and talent as poet and publisher, but also heighten appreciation for the other facets of his life and art. One might call Williams' life a poetics of gathering, and this book a first harvest.
Jeffery Beam's over 20 works include The Broken Flower (Skysill, 2012), The New Beautiful Tendons: Collected Queer Poems 1969-2012 (Spuyten Duyvil, 2012), Gospel Earth (Skysill, 2010), the CD What We Have Lost (Green Finch, 2001), the Carnegie Hall premiered song cycle Life of the Bee with Lee Hoiby (Albany Records New Growth, 2001), An Elizabethan Bestiary: Retold (Horse & Buggy, 1999), and Visions of Dame Kind (Jargon 113, 1995).Composers Holt McCarley and Steven Serpa are working on other songs and song cycles. Other JW works include the memorial quote book A Hornet's Nest, the NC Literary Review essay "A Snowflake Orchard and What I Found There: An Informal History of the Jargon Society", and the Rain Taxi interview Tales of a Jargonaut. Forthcoming is Spectral Pegasus/Dark Movements, a collaboration with Welsh painter Clive Hicks-Jenkins (January 2019), and an online chapbook Don't Forget Love, a poem sequence of desire, grief, loss, and spiritual transformation in the tradition of Indian Bhakti, Anna Akhmatova, and Edna St. Vincent Millay (soon). He is poetry editor emeritus of Oyster Boy Review, a retired UNC-Chapel Hill botanical librarian, and resides in Hillsborough, NC.

Girard's theory of the scapegoat continues to be ever more relevant after his death and recent events in Paris (Anonymous, S.A. Crawford carrying a goat. Studio portrait showing man carrying a goat over his shoulder, in front of a painted backdrop of snow-covered mountains, 1905; Source: Wikimedia Commons, PD-Registered Before-1923).
What's not weak this week highlights the violent scapegoating origins of all human culture.
Girard's phenomenology of scapegoating was thrown into stark relief after the Paris Attacks this week, barely a week after his death.

July and August were two hugely busy and successful months for Wheal Martyn. The new and improved summer activities programme ran alongside a variety of other events inspired by the summer Clay Stories theme of the Kettle Boy.
Families had the unique opportunity to immerse themselves in the history of the Kettle Boy by completing the popular Kettle Kids trail; finding clues and snippets of information stationed all around Wheal Martyn, children enjoyed relating to the stories of children their own age, who used to work in Cornwall's china clay industry 70 years ago. A particular highlight was the story of Wheal Martyn's Kettle Boy Arthur, who joined the clay industry when he was just 14 years old. Now 84, Arthur volunteers at Wheal Martyn, and has been a real asset to the museum this summer.
The summer activities programme received fantastic feedback. Involving a diverse range of interactive workshops and drop-in sessions, the activities were a superb way of creatively engaging children and families with the local heritage. The clay modelling and pottery painting sessions proved to be popular, as did the paper craft workshop with Ruth Hills and pottery workshop with ceramic artist Jenny Beavan.
As the summer comes to an end, Wheal Martyn has launched into their September Clay Stories theme: transport. To find out more about the events happening this month, click here, email info@wheal-martyn.com or call 01726 850362. Find us on Facebook for stories about heavy transport in the china clay mining industry.

Repeal of the Australian Courts Act (1828)
Wayne Morgan made this Freedom of Information request to SA Attorney-General's Department
Response to this request is long overdue. By law, under all circumstances, SA Attorney-General's Department should have responded by now (details). You can complain by requesting an internal review.
From: Wayne Morgan

Dear SA Attorney-General's Department,
Can you please provide a copy of the instrument, act, enabling act or other documents, along with a copy of its proclamation, that purports to repeal or amend the Australian Courts Act (1828) signed by the Colony of South Australia?
Wayne Morgan
Locutus Sum left an annotation ( February 15, 2017 )
For general informatoin see the Wikipedia page on the law of Australia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_Aus... ).
The Australian Courts Act 9 Geo 4c 83 of 1828, was: "An Act to provide for the administrati
on of justice in New South Wales and Van Diemen's Land, and for the more effectual government thereof and for other purposes relating thereto." It did not immediately come into force in South Australia. I don't know why but maybe it was because of the status of South Australia as a colony. At the time of the Imperial enactment, Queensland and Victoria were part of the colony of New South Wales so it also affected those areas an remained in force when the two areas became new and separate colonies. In South Australia, I believe that the Australian Courts Act was brought into force by the Acts Interpretation Act of 1909.
The effect of the Australian Courts Act (Imperial) was altered by ss 3 and 4 of the Australian Acts (Request) Act (SA) No. 95 of 1985. Section 3 of the Australian Acts (Request) Act (SA) asks and the UK parliament to introduce important legislative changes and also consents to the requested changes. Section 4 makes a similar plea to the parliament of the Commonwealth of Australia. The changes included the abolition of appeals to the Privy Council as well as many other changes.
It is not necessary to read the South Australian act and the acts of the other states of Australia because the Parliament of the Commonwealth and the Parliament of the United Kingdom each did as they were asked. For the Commonwealth, a person can read the Australian (Request and Consent) Act No. 143 of 1985; assented to: 4 December 1985 (https://www.legislation.gov.au/Details/C... ). For the United Kingdom, a person can read the Australia Act 1986 c. 2 (http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1986... ).
To address "proclamation", it is worthwhile to read that the acts came into force on the day that they received the Royal Assent, not on a day of proclamation.
To address the issue of the effect of United Kingdom law on the Commonwealth of Australia (to be a different issue from the effect on the law of the states and territories) see s 1 of the Australia Act 1986 (UK): "Termination of power of Parliament of United Kingdom to legislate for Australia". Also read in s 3: "No law and no provision of any law made after the commencement of this Act by the Parliament of a State shall be void or inoperative on the ground that it is repugnant to the law of England, or to the provisions of any existing or future Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom, or to any order, rule or regulation made under any such Act, and the powers of the Parliament of a State shall include the power to repeal or amend any such Act, order, rule or regulation in so far as it is part of the law of the State."
I will also post this annotation in the other request page.
Wayne Morgan left an annotation ( February 15, 2017 )
Thanks for the information you posted.
Re Australian Courts Act (1828) I believe South Australia signed in November 1828 as the Colony of South Australia. I'm looking for that information as well. The Australia Act (1985/1986) doesn't appear to repeal the entire Act - only s15.
Re Proclamation - the proclamation as published in the government Gazette shows who enacted the legislation and the date it comes into force.

What is the appropriate size for your electrical service?
As electrical contractors, we are frequently asked if services should be 100AMP or 200AMP. Many homes have the same basic appliances that require dedicated wiring like washers, refrigerators, disposals, and microwaves. A 100 AMP service can handle these loads as well as your general lighting and outlets. If in addition, you have a combination of an electric oven, heat pump or an electric hot water heater, you more than likely need a 200 AMP service. Essentially, the size of your service is determined by the total calculations of your electrical loads made by a qualified electrician. To have your electrical load calculated, contact your licensed electrical contractor at Lauterbornelectric.com.
The picture on the right depicts a 100AMP panel while the picture on the left displays a 200AMP panel. All work done by Lauterborn Electric. Click on images to enlarge.


Has anyone been for a sail on lake George at beach port lately?
Yeh it's fully full and still open to the sea.
in Adelaide now but should be home and sailing wed and Thursday ?? Back to work on Friday. See ya around maybe.
At robe at the moment. Just went to 3rd ramp. Way too windy for the ocean, anyone heading to lake George today??
on a 3.5 well powered all the time.
where do you rig now that the usual places are under water?
We had some good sails this week. The lake was great to sail on we didn't have to walk out far at all from the spit . Sail on big gear this morning with Andreas till lunchtime. Had some powered up runs.
Lake still full mostly choppy everywhere only some flat water behind the spit, small runs but good for some gybe practice.
Thanks! Doesn't look like it's on for speedsailing this season then?
Geoff you are a legend, I hope you had a good week in the end and stotty is better already.
So behind the islands is no good still jimbob? or is it more like boggy up by the reads?
Don't ask me again as I won't be on here.
I'm on grumpy night shift.
Will I need a weed fin ?
and and, it is choppy ?
I recommend rigging up at the 5mile mud hole ??
At least there will be no snakes and cuts down on the mowing!
What the hell are you on about Jimbo!!!!!
I was out at the spit yesterday, heaps of room to set up!!
the water level will rise a bit if really blowing.
Will i get a PB?
Meteye has been pretty accurate. Last 10 days only light wind and one day of the famous SE over 20 knts. Being the lake pretty high you can bring a big board and sail with a pointer fin if its light. The place is awesome and the wind pretty steady.
I sailed the last 2 days 5.3m and 94l @ Nene Valley.
Waist high last night and shoulder high Monday night. Typical February swell on the seabreeze.

I am getting the below error. I have added entry component in a password module but still getting this error

Error: No component factory found for NewPasswordComponent. Did you
  add it to @NgModule.entryComponents?

A: Import the NewPasswordModule to AppModule module
imports: [
  BrowserModule,
  AppRoutingModule,
  NewPasswordModule
 ],

A: I think the behaviour you are observing is described in that github issue: entry components of a lazy loaded module are not available at the root level injector.
So you need to provide the service that uses the entry component in your NewPasswordModule, not in AppModule.
If you are looking for a more generic approach (say you want to use that service in many lazy loaded modules), you could have a look at this suggested solution, which creates a generic service, which is then inherited and provided in
 lazy loaded feature modules.

243 Crystal Fruits Reversed By Tom Horn Gaming For UK Online Slots
Tom Horn Gaming brought another revolutionary fruity UK Online Slots to the table with the release of their 2020 title, 243 Crystal Fruits Reversed – and it isn't just the glossy and glistening graphics that set it apart from the rest.
There are slightly more features in 243 Crystal Fruits Reversed than you would find in your average fruity slot game. If you have always found the appeal of simple games but you are looking to spin your way out of the past, this title comes highly recommended – especially for fans of the original 243 Crystal Fruits Game. The reversed title comes with a re-spin feature that removes all non-winning symbols after a winning spin with a wild symbol involved.
The title is available to spin from 50p, while high rollers can make the most out of the innovative re-spin bonus features with stakes up to £100. However, given the fairly extreme volatility and the fact that the max win comes in slightly under 1,000x, there aren't all too many incentives to stake overly high with this title. The minimum number of pay-lines that you will be spinning with is 5, while the maximum is 243. *
*All values mentioned in relation to this game are subject to change at any time.
Cascading Reels
There are two bonus features in 243 Crystal Fruits Reversed, and they work together exceptionally well to help you get on a roll with your wins. The wild symbol can stand in for all of the other fruity symbols on the reels to help you complete more pay-lines. It will appear on reels two, three and four only, every time it completes a winning combination, it will trigger the reverse re-spin bonus feature.
Reverse Re-Spin Bonus Feature
Each time a wild in a winning combo triggers this feature, the winning symbols will become sticky, and the rest of the reel positions will re-spin. If the re-spin creates a winning combination, the process will repeat, but this time, you will bring a progressive win multiplier into play. The multiplier starts at 1x and increases by a factor of 1. The maximum win multiplier is 5x, when you reach the 5x multiplier, the feature will end. Unless, of course, you fail to create a winning combo on your re-spin.
About The Developers And Similar Slots
243 Crystal Fruits Reversed was created by Tom Horn Gaming, a developer that is notably passionate about bringing brand-new experiences to players on sites such as UK Online Slots. Their Crystal Fruits series may not be as experimental and bold as some of the other titles in their collection which now holds over 100 games. If you are looking to check out the best of their content, we would highly recommend getting acquainted with the reels in Frozen Queen, Monster Madness, Panda's Run and Sherlock A Scandal in Bohemia – all of which are available to spin right here via mobile, laptop, tablet or any device that supports HTML 5 gaming.


Police have arrested eight people after a mine manager's wife was kidnapped. The woman was released unharmed.
The kidnappers had demanded gold as ransom.
Free State police spokesperson Colonel Thandi Mbambo said the eight were arrested in Welkom and Odendaalsrus on Friday morning.
She said R500,000 cash was seized, as well as 21 gold nuggets (approximately 7kg), a gas gun and a gas pistol. Four vehicles, including an Audi A3, Jeep Cherokee and two BMWs, were also seized.
Mbambo said police also followed up on information which led them to Sebokeng, where an undisclosed amount of money was recovered.
The mine manager's wife was abducted outside her workplace in the early hours of November 7.
Harmony spokesperson Sihle Maake said she was released unharmed.
Maake refused to give further details.
"Due to the sensitivity of the investigation, no information can be released at this stage as it's also now a police matter. We ask the media and public to respect the privacy of the family at this difficult time while they recover from this ordeal," Maake said.
He said Harmony was taking the necessary steps to ensure the safety of its employees as the incident was a major concern for the organisation.

A low budget classic, Enter The Dragon was Bruce Lee's final complete movie before his untimely death, and a milestone in Hollywood's brief flirtation with martial arts action thrillers. Enter The Dragon cost $850,000 and is estimated to have earned more than $90 Million world-wide. Lee's death would put an untimely end to any mainstreaming of a martial arts movie star until the arrival of Jackie Chan (who briefly appears in Enter The Dragon) half a generation later.
Lee (Bruce Lee) is an exceptional martial arts student at the Shaolin temple. He is selected by mysterious Hong Kong government-types to infiltrate the island base of the evil Han (Shih Kien), a former Shaolin student who has sullied the name of the temple by turning to crime: he specializes in drugs, human trafficking and prostitution. Lee is given an added incentive to seek personal revenge: in flashback it is revealed that Han and his bodyguard O'Hara (Robert Wall) were responsible for the death of Lee's sister.
Lee travels to the island pretending to be a contestant in a martial arts competition hosted by Han, and along the way he meets fellow contestants Roper (John Saxon), a gambler in trouble with loan sharks, and Williams (Jim Kelly), who is on the run from the cops. After the three are offered their choice of female companionship, Lee kills O'Hara and starts snooping around the island, Williams is killed by Han, and Roper kills Han's most fearsome fighter, Bolo.
When the prisoners on the island are released and take on Han's numerous henchmen, the hordes of chaos are unleashed and it's everyone against everyone. It is left up to Lee to chase down Han and force a final, memorable confrontation to the death.
Influential and frequently imitated in the same vein as A Fistful Of Dollars, Enter The Dragon made Bruce Lee an international star, despite his mysterious death. He dominates the film with a brooding, wiry physique made of highly-strung and finely toned muscles. Lee choreographed the fight sequences, and they are the undoubted highlights of the film, ballet with undisguised brutal power.
The rest of the performances by a cast aspiring to Grade B status, and the pedestrian directing by Robert Clouse, are fully consistent with a low budget action movie hoping for nothing better than left-over James Bond fans. Instead, the likes of John Saxon and Jim Kelly gained screen immortality by playing their role in an accidental, and ridiculously enjoyable, classic.

Windows 10X Delayed to 2021 on Single-Screen devices, Spring 2022 for Dual-Screen
By Andrew E. Freedman
And no Win32 to start?
Microsoft is delaying Windows 10X, with the first devices, more traditional single-screen laptops, arriving in the spring of 2021. The information comes from a report from ZDNet.
Per that site's sources, single-screen laptops designed for business and education should launch in spring 2021. More single-screen laptops and dual-screen machines should be ready a year later, in spring 2022.
It's a serious delay to Microsoft's plan for Windows 10X, which was initially supposed to launch at the end of this year with the now-delayed Surface Neo, a dual-screen device.
In May, Windows and Surface head Panos Panay confirmed a shift to single-screen devices to address the world we currently live in and address business needs. It seems now that Windows 10X will come even later than planned.
Additionally, rumors suggest that Windows 10X won't run Win32 apps in containers at launch, as reported by both ZDNet and Windows Central. Instead of legacy applications, it will likely focus on web apps, including within the new, Chromium-based Edge browser.
Windows 10X is a variant of Windows 10 based on Core OS for modularity and an easy-to-use UI.
The Windows 10X schedule has clearly been changing internally. So far, our only chance to use it has been through an emulator for developers, and it's possible the release dates will change further.

Take Correction

Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate you; reprove a wise man,
and he will love you. Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser;
teach a righteous man...and he will increase in learning. Proverbs 9:8-9

There is one thing you can do
that will accelerate your spiritual growth more than almost any other thing:
learn to take correction--from the Spirit of God and from His people.

So few believers seem to be able
to do that. When their preacher gets in the pulpit and preaches about something
they already know, about some aspect of life they've already submitted to the
Lord, they think he's great. They like him because he makes them feel good. But
the moment he stands up and begins to preach about something they're doing
wrong, they take offense.

God says that's foolish. He says,
in Proverbs 1:7, only fools strike out at, or despise, correction.

So don't be like that. When your
pastor or anyone else in the Body of Christ has a word of correction for you, receive
it gratefully. Appreciate those who share the wisdom of God with you. When
someone points out somewhere that you've missed it, instead of reacting against
them, examine yourself and say, "Is that right? Does that agree with the
Word? Do I need to make a change there?"

If the answer to those questions
is yes, then make the changes you need to make to get your life in line.

I know that's not easy. None of
us likes to be corrected. But if you'll make up your mind you're going to
receive that correction anyway, that you're going to remain teachable, you'll
be able to go on and grow in spiritual things much more quickly.

One man said, "If you think
you've already arrived, you aren't going anywhere." Remember that next
time someone corrects you. Love that person and thank him for speeding along
your spiritual progress. If you'll do that, you'll come out ahead every time.

Scripture Reading: Proverbs
3:11-24


Carpal tunnel syndrome is when the median nerve is compressed as it passes through the carpal tunnel. The carpal tunnel is an opening in your wrist that is formed by the carpal bones on the bottom of the wrist and the transverse carpal ligament across the top of the wrist. The median nerve provides sensory and motor functions to the thumb and 3 middle fingers. If it gets compressed or irritated, you may have symptoms.
Carpal tunnel release is one of the most common surgeries done in the U.S. Women get carpal tunnel syndrome 3 times more often than men. It usually occurs only in adults.
The symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome may be similar to other medical conditions or problems. Always see your health care provider for a diagnosis.
Your provider will check your medical history and give you a physical exam. He or she may recommend that you have electrodiagnostic tests on your nerves. These tests are the best way to diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome. Electrodiagnostic tests stimulate the muscles and nerves in your hand to see how well they work.
Anti-inflammatory medication. These may be oral or injected into the carpal tunnel space. These reduce the swelling.
Surgery. This eases compression on the nerves in the carpal tunnel.
Exercise. Stretching and strengthening exercises can be helpful in people whose symptoms have gotten better. These exercises may be supervised by a physical or occupational therapist.
Surgery for carpal tunnel syndrome is usually done as an outpatient. Two types of carpal tunnel surgery are done: open surgery and endoscopic surgery. You may have local or general anesthesia, or both, for either surgery.
During open surgery, the surgeon cuts open your wrist. The tissue that is pressing on the nerves is cut. This relieves the pressure on the nerve.
During endoscopic surgery, the surgeon puts a long, thin rod through a tiny cut on the wrist. The rod, or scope, contains a camera and a light. The scope lets the surgeon to see inside your wrist. He or she cuts the tissue using tiny surgical tools.
After the surgery, your hand and wrist are wrapped and put into a splint. This will help to keep you from moving your wrist during your recovery. You will need to wear the splint for a week or two. You will probably have some pain after your surgery. It's usually controlled with pain medication taken by mouth. You may also be told to sleep with your hand elevated to help ease swelling.
Recovery from carpal tunnel surgery is different for each person. If your nerve has been compressed for a long time, recovery may take longer. You will be encouraged to move your fingers and wrist a few days after surgery to help prevent stiffness.
You may need to adjust your work or home activities while you recover. Talk with your health care provider about what you need to change.

It was Gerd Lommersum's and Remo Cattaneo's idea to design a universal and reasonably priced loudspeaker. They decided on a Vifa HT250 F/4 dome tweeter and a Peerless SDS 6-25/08 mid / bass driver, both from the Tymphany stable. The kit should be built either as a shelf or a floorstanding speaker.
A kit that may be turned into a shelf or a floorstanding speaker is not fundamentally new. For example, Lagrange XT, Pascal XT and some other models offer the same benefit. For a linear bass set-up a floorstanding bass reflex and a sealed shelf speaker are usually used, since a linear bass reflex is generally 2 to 3 times larger than a sealed cabinet.
"We organised a shoot-out between the two StartAirKit versions in the magazine's listening room. The solid shelf speakers placed on sand filled Atacama stands had already quite convincing sound based on a full bass foundation. Vocals were reproduced clearly and concisely. Instrumental music surprised with an immense attention to detail due to the Vifa tweeter's remarkable resolution. The soundstage is deep and wide and all sound sources are precisely placed at clearly distinguishable positions with lots of shimmering air in-between. The floorstanders added quite a bit more bass: the bass is really fat and low, particularly noticeable when listening to double bass or church organ. Additionally, there is a clearly pronounced bass line. A certain lack of precision within the lower vocal range that is noticeable on closer listening to the shelf speaker, is clean gone. We had the really interesting opportunity to compare our contestants to the Visaton Clou (see page 28) that was available. While the Clou graciously alleviates smaller faults of the electronics, the StartAirKit mercilessly reveals all faults originating from the source components. As a result the vocals enormously vivid and display an audiophile devotion. The Vifa - Peerless combination thrives on excellent electronics. In the long term this kit is, therefore, a good choice, especially when a system enhancement is in intended."
*) The floorstanding kit comprises more damping material and speaker cable.
Our top crossover comprises a coil in series to the bass driver with lower resistance to eliminate the slight bass exaggeration. High quality, lowest-loss Mundorf MCAP Supreme (3.9 uF and 10 uF) are being used in the path to the tweeter.
This compact speaker is suitable for use as a centre, front or rear speaker.

Ad Revenue From Mobile for Pandora Increases
By Ben Sisario
Pandora Media, the company behind the popular Internet radio service about to face major competition from Apple, reported on Thursday a loss of $7.8 million, or about 4 cents a share, for the second quarter but the company continues to experience rapid growth.
Pandora said it had $157.4 million in revenue for the quarter ending in July, up 55 percent from the same period a year ago.
The ad revenue Pandora collects from mobile devices, where the majority of its 71.2 million active users do their listening, has also shot up quickly. It made $116 million from these ads in the quarter, up 92 percent from a year ago. At that time the company was charging $22.17 for every 1,000 listening hours served to mobile devices, but last quarter that rose to a high of $33.90.
"Ninety-two percent growth on mobile growth to $116 million is pretty much crushing it," Joseph J. Kennedy, the company's chief, said in an interview after Pandora announced its earnings.
Pandora also reported a success in another closely watched figure: its "content acquisition" costs, which include royalties to music companies. For the quarter, it paid $81.9 million, or 52 percent of its revenue, on these costs, its lowest ratio in almost two years.
Since bottoming out in November, the company's stock price has increased more than 200 percent, and some analysts have recently given Pandora optimistic reviews. But the imminent arrival of Apple's own radio feature and Pandora's growing expenses continue to worry investors.
Pandora's stock closed at $21.71 on Thursday, up 1 percent for the day, but it fell more than 6 percent in after-hours trading.
In a conference call with journalists and investors, Pandora announced that it had recently spent $8 million on "a broad patent portfolio" from Yahoo.
Pandora also announced a policy change that may encourage more use of the service. On Sept. 1, it will drop the 40-hour monthly limit for free listening on mobile devices, which it instituted in March as part of an effort to reduce royalty expenses.
