6 things you didn't know about Union Station
Ever since its founding in 1858, Denver has served as a hub for people passing from one destination to another. Because Denver has no navigable rivers, its destiny was instead carved out by the evolution of the railroad.
Although the work involved in constructing a mountain passage initially made railroad builders wary, by 1870 both the Denver Pacific and Kansas Pacific Railways ran through town. We can experience this nexus of traffic today by visiting Union Station in Denver's LoDo neighborhood. However, with many new buildings in this area of the city, it may take some imagination to recall what transportation looked like in this warehouse district once lined with buildings made from brick and timber.
Here are some things you might not know about Union Station that are sure to help spark your curiosity.
Picture of Union Station circa 1881 Scan #10049343
History Colorado
1. When it was completed in 1881, Denver's Union Station was the largest structure in the West and included a 128-foot tower. Its grandeur was perhaps paralleled only by the rapid development of the state's rail system, which grew from 328 miles of track in 1870 to half a million miles by 1900.
2. A chandelier in the ladies' room caused a devastating fire in 1894. The fire led to a redesign in 1914 that included a central area with wrought iron and glass. The restoration of this distinct canopy was part of the work funded by History Colorado's State Historical Fund before the renovated station reopened in 2014.
3. Union Station got its name from efforts to consolidate transportation. By the turn of the century the city saw eighty to one hundred trains a day passing through. Not unlike today, Denver needed the infrastructure to handle the influx of arrivals. Before Union Station was built, several different railroad stations had operated in the area now home to LoDo, whose unpaved streets made transfers particularly unpleasant. Union Station's opening was the culmination of efforts to "unionize all the trains coming to Denver."
4. Passengers used to board trains underground. Within the first twenty years of the station's operations, trains went from hauling four to six cars to fourteen or fifteen cars. Passengers sometimes had to wait for other cars to unload or board before exiting or entering a car themselves. In 1912 an underground boarding area was constructed. This change better served Union Station's patrons—especially during World War II, when the station accommodated twenty-four thousand people a day, mostly soldiers. There remain some unused underground passageways today.
Union Station, 1914
5. A bilingual "Welcome" sign once greeted travelers. As a tribute to Denver citizens, in 1906 the city erected what became known as the "Mizpah Arch" over the Seventeenth Street entrance to the station. When Mayor Robert Speer first dedicated the arch, it said "Welcome" on both sides, but later the sign said "Mizpah" as visitors entered the station. Mizpah is Hebrew for "watchtower" and signifies an emotional bond between people who are separated. The metal arch shone with 2,200 electric bulbs that gave visitors a warm welcome, not unlike the lights that now set the station aglow at night. The arch was torn down in 1933, but you can still find the two benches that mark where it once rose.
Denver's Union Station is an example of the Beaux Arts style.
6. The "Travel by Train" sign references an era that had already passed. As the use of automobiles rose, Denver's focus shifted away from rail. By the 1950s the trolleys that had traveled up Seventeenth and Wynkoop since the 1880s stopped running, and passenger air travel started taking off as well. In 1953 Union Station installed the sign "Travel by Train" almost as an homage. Even the beloved Ski Train went in and out of service over the decades that followed. In 1974, the station was listed in the National Register of Historic Places.

Hello! It's been a while, but I hope you've had a fantastic few weeks of rest, relaxation, and rebooting as we hit the back to school period known as la rentrée– the "reentry."
If Summer 2018 taught us anything, it's that communicating globally about sport (and other things) can help us better understand our world today. The 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia was the main event that underscored the importance of this concept. One of the more prominent examples was how sport diplomacy enabled reporters and World Cup tourists to interact with everyday Russian people and better understand their views and culture. This sort of people-to-people exchange, where there's some form of negotiation, representation, and communication, no matter how informal, is the very essence of sport diplomacy. Sports Illustrated's Grant Wahl reported how his views of Russia changed as a result of meeting and communicating with Russian people throughout the tournament, as did many other reporters. Such testimonials are excellent illustrations of the power of #sportdiplomacy and the role communication plays in helping to overcome stereotypes, misperceptions, and bridge divides.
Another example was the "debate" surrounding the World Cup winning French squad and whether it was indeed Africa's "other" team. What was meant as a positive acknowledgement of the critical roles that players of African heritage had in catapulting Les Bleus to the finals fell flat in some quarters, for in France there isn't the concept of dual identity familiar in other countries. There's a sense of families having double cultures, an acknowledgement of how generations of immigration from around the world has shaped and enriched the country, but that's different from having a dual identity.
Instead, anyone can become "French" as long as they assimilate into the national republican body. While the reality is that many French with family roots in Africa, Asia, or elsewhere still suffer stigmas about being "immigrants," regardless of how many decades ago their families immigrated, sports have long served as an incubator of citizenship, identity, and acceptance—especially the national soccer team.
I've written about this elsewhere (here, here, and here), and the 1998 World Cup winning team was celebrated as the promise of a multicultural French future. That vision never happened. Instead, sport—and soccer especially—became politicized as the far right-wing increasingly filled its vile rhetoric with divisive language that portrayed many of the nation's elite athletes as "immigrant," "the other," and not really "French."
This all helps to explain why there was a backlash against well-meaning attempts to mark Les Bleus as Africa's "other" team this summer. It wasn't just that such language is common among the far right-wing; it's also that there's only one public identity, especially in the failed aftermath of a black-blanc-beur 1998 victory. In fact, the national team slogan since 2014, especially as it sought to re-seduce its public after its catastrophic meltdown at South Africa 2010, was "fiers d'être bleu"—proud to be "bleu," or proud to be French. The ability to better communicate this history, the nuances in concepts, and differing beliefs in identity may have made the "debate" much less of one. Whether it's right or wrong in today's globalizing world to restrict a citizenry to only one identity is an entirely different matter, as is the discussion about what France owes the African continent and its people after it's brutal colonial past.
Les Bleus themselves tried to stay away from the controversy, aside from the occasional social media post by men like Benjamin Mendy, who emphasized they were all French. But their basketball counterparts (like Nicolas Batum and Evan Fournier) tried to communicate, especially to their English-language NBA publics, some of the nuances—a difficult feat in a short-form medium like Twitter, but one I loudly applauded.
If the Anglophone world, from the media to teams, leagues, sponsors, and other content producers, spent a little less time talking about dunks, stats, and "stars" and a little more time communicating about the different cultures and attitudes that actively shape our global sports world—whether in the Premiere League, MLB, the NBA, or elsewhere—we'd have more compelling stories, better understandings of each other, and less opportunities for misperceptions and misinformation.
Meanwhile, here's the celebrations at the Élysée Palace and the N'Golo Kanté song to kickoff your weekend. #AllezLesBleus - Champions!!!!

Still, maybe it's time to take notice. Maybe the flight of those Kiwis should be thought of as a small omen, even if they are departing as decorously, quietly, and flightlessly as possible. Because here's the thing: once the November election is over, "expedited departure" could well become an American term and the U.S., as it slips ignominiously out of Afghanistan, could turn out to be the New Zealand of superpowers.
You undoubtedly know the phrase: the best laid plans of mice and men. It couldn't be more apt when it comes to the American project in Afghanistan. Washington's plans have indeed been carefully drawn up. By the end of 2014, U.S. "combat troops" are to be withdrawn, but left behind on the giant bases the Pentagon has built will be thousands of U.S. trainers and advisers, as well as special operations forces to go after al-Qaeda remnants (and other "militants"), and undoubtedly the air power to back them all up.
In other words, it being Afghanistan, we need a translator. The American "withdrawal" regularly mentioned in the media doesn't really mean "withdrawal." On paper at least, for years to come the U.S. will partially occupy a country that has a history of loathing foreigners who won't leave (and making them pay for it).
Plans are one thing, reality another. After all, when invading U.S. troops triumphantly arrived in the Iraqi capital, Baghdad, in April 2003, the White House and the Pentagon were already planning to stay forever and a day — and they instantly began building permanent bases (though they preferred to speak of "permanent access" via "enduring camps") as a token of their intent. Only a couple of years later, in a gesture that couldn't have been more emphatic in planning terms, they constructed the largest (and possibly most expensive) embassy on the planet as a regional command center in Baghdad. Yet somehow, those perfectly laid plans went desperately awry and only a few years later, with American leaders still looking for ways to garrison the country into the distant future, Washington found itself out on its ear. But that's reality for you, isn't it?
Right now, evidence on the ground — in the form of dead American bodies piling up — indicates that even the Afghans closest to us don't exactly second the Obama administration's plans for a 20-year occupation. In fact, news from the deep-sixed war in that forgotten land, often considered the longest conflict in American history, has suddenly burst onto the front pages of our newspapers and to the top of the TV news. And there's just one reason for that: despite the copious plans of the planet's last superpower, the poor, backward, illiterate, hapless, corrupt Afghans — whose security forces, despite unending American financial support and mentoring, have never effectively "stood up" — made it happen. They have been sending a stark message, written in blood, to Washington's planners.
A 15-year-old "tea boy" at a U.S. base opened fire on Marine special forces trainers exercising at a gym, killing three of them and seriously wounding another; a 60- or 70-year-old farmer, who volunteered to become a member of a village security force, turned the first gun his American special forces trainers gave him at an "inauguration ceremony" back on them, killing two; a police officer who, his father claims, joined the force four years earlier, invited Marine Special Operations advisers to a meal and gunned down three of them, wounding a fourth, before fleeing, perhaps to the Taliban.
About other "allies" involved in similar incidents — recently, there were at least 9 "green-on-blue" attacks in an 11-day span in which 10 Americans died — we know almost nothing, except that they were Afghan policemen or soldiers their American trainers and mentors were trying to "stand up" to fight the Taliban. Some were promptly shot to death. At least one may have escaped.
General Martin Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs, flew to Afghanistan to consult with his counterparts on what to make of these incidents (and had his plane shelled on a runway at Bagram Air Field — "a lucky shot," claimed a NATO spokesman — for his effort). U.S. Afghan War commander General John Allen convened a meeting of more than 40 generals to discuss how to stop the attacks, even as he insisted "the campaign remains on track." There are now rumblings in Congress about hearings on the subject.
"American officials are still struggling," wrote the New York Times in an editorial on the subject, "to understand the forces at work." And in that the editorial writers like the general reflected the basic way these acts are registering here — as a remarkable Afghan mystery. In other words, in Washington's version of the blame game, the quirky, unpredictable Afghans from Hamid Karzai on down are in the crosshairs. What is the matter with them?
While the motives of any individual Afghan turning his gun on an American may be beyond our knowing — just what made him plan it, just what made him snap — history should tell us something about the more general motives of Afghans (and perhaps the rest of us as well). After all, the United States was founded after colonial settlers grew tired of an occupying army and power in their midst. Whatever the individual insults Afghans feel, the deeper insult almost 11 years after the U.S. military, crony corporations, hire-a-gun outfits, contractors, advisers, and aid types arrived on the scene en masse with all their money, equipment, and promises is that things are going truly badly; that the westerners are still around; that the Americans are still trying to stand up those Afghan forces (when the Taliban has no problem standing its forces up and fighting effectively without foreign trainers); that the defeated Taliban, one of the less popular movements of modern history, is again on the rise; that the country is a sea of corruption; that more than 30 years after the first Afghan War against the Soviets began, the country is still a morass of violence, suffering, and death.
Plumb the mystery all you want, our Afghan allies couldn't be clearer as a collective group. They are sick of foreign occupying armies, even when, in some cases, they may have no sympathy for the Taliban. This should be a situation in which no translators are needed. The "insult" to Afghan ways is, after all, large indeed and should be easy enough for Americans to grasp. Just try to reverse the situation with Chinese, Russian, or Iranian armies heavily garrisoning the U.S., supporting political candidates, and trying to stand us up for more than a decade and it may be easier to understand. Americans, after all, blow people away regularly over far less than that.
The question is: Why can't our leaders in Washington and in the U.S. military stop "struggling" and see this for what it obviously is? Why can't anyone in the mainstream media write about it as it obviously is? After all, when almost 11 years after your arrival to "liberate" a country, orders are issued for every American soldier to carry a loaded weapon everywhere at all times, even on American bases, lest your allies blow you away, you should know that you've failed. When you can't train your allies to defend their own country without an armed guardian angel watching at all times, you should know that it's long past time to leave a distant country of no strategic value to the United States.
As is now regularly noted, the incidents of green-on-blue violence are rising rapidly. There have been 32 of them reported so far this year, with 40 American or coalition members killed, compared to 21 reported in all of 2011, killing 35. The numbers have a chilling quality, a sense of contagion, to them. They suggest that this may be an unraveling moment, and don't think — though no one mentions this — that it couldn't get far worse.
You would, of course, have been considered a first-class idiot, if not a madman, and yet this is exactly the U.S. "hearts and minds" record in Afghanistan to date. Welcomed in 2001, we are being shown the door in the worst possible way in 2012. Washington is losing it. It's too late to exit gracefully, but exit in time we must.
For much of the "right", the Rush, Sean, Mark "right" the narrative for the next two three four decades will be that BHO lost both wars. That narratve will of course be wrong. The wars were lost at the time he took office, were perhaps unwinnable at the time they were launched. The failure to understand this "inconvenient" truth on the part of so many "conservatives" will no doubt lead to more unwinnable wars and more needless deaths both American and civilians.
The paradox of this war is that the US had fueled (through "escalation of force" incidents, night raids, civilian bombing casualties and support of a corrupt government)and paid for it by providing the insurgents millions via "taxes" paid to the Taliban for USAID projects and "fees" paid for the safe passage of NATO supply convoys.
The faster the escape the better for the Afghans and the US.
I am one of those who think it is a mistake for the US to keep permanent military bases in Afghanistan, or in any of the former Central Asian republics of the Soviet Union.
could you be any more ignorant of history?
The sad truth is that anyone with a brain and I am talking pretty much potted plants here, could predict this was going to be a disaster. No one since Alexander has conquered this crazy place…it destroyed a British Army and seriously contributed to the fall of the USSR.
Perhaps reading a book would have helped?
And now you can't figure out why they don't like you…war mongering twits that you are.
Permanent bases reduce your flexibility. You're tied to faculties that must be paid for and defended. There are so many that none can be defended against even a third rate opponent without huge reinforcement. To what end? Dumpistan is now in our orbit and the recipient of US largess in the form of dollars borrowed from China that can be used for numerous corrupt practices. Hurrah!
But it's not just that the Afghans don't like the Americans so they are killing our soldiers. There has also been an increase of Afghan soldiers killing their fellow Afghan nationals. There very well could be something to the theory that the Pakistani and Iranian intelligence services are directing or at least influencing the Taliban to infiltrate the Afghan army to kill Afghan, American, and other coalition troops.
I am here in Kabul. Mr. Englehardt is right-on in his assessment. We have long since lost any possibility of achieving the strategic goal of a reliable Afghan Security Force capable of effectively defeating the Taliban and, more importantly, adding a sense of stability to this country. Was this war a "loss" from the beginning, based on history? Hardly. Our mistake was in our strategy. Old generals full of old mental models of war and a complete inability to understand how to win the hearts and minds of these peolpe — the objective! We have been incapable of truly adapting and employing evolved tactics and operational art. Bush, Obama, and the American people have been victims to the military's hubris. Blame the senior military leaders, no one else.
When the head of my beloved Corps has so obviously drunk the Kool-Aid, is it any wonder that we continue to waste lives and treasure?
Kevin – – The false narrative of a "successful" "surge" in Iraq was employed by General Petraeus, and Hillary Clinton, to convince Obama he should treble the US troop presence in Afghanistan. A major blunder on Obama's part. And one Joe Biden tried to prevent.
Kevin, how do you think that the military's rules of engagement in which soldiers have to be restrained in their use of force against the enemy to prevent civilian casualties have affected the war effort in Afghanistan?
I have been here more than 3 years witnessing the Construction and Military Training mission taking place on the bases. Several thoughts have continuously resonated with me during this time.
1. The U.S. Government should have learned it cannot solve the world's problems or make any country a democracy with money and bullets alone. The people of any country have to stand up be and be accountable for their on future.
2. I compare Afghanistan to the Western part of U.S in the early 1800s when it was occupied mostly by Native Indians. Each Tribe had its own Government, its own interests and sets of rules, values and leadership. No infrastructure and Central Government that anyone could count on or show loyalty to, very much the way the vast land of Afghanistan is today, except Afghanistan has very limited resources. Once the millions of settlers in the U,S.began to govern themselves,local,state & federal with a set of values and standards and build infrastructure with the plentiful resources available, we became a stable and a thriving Nation (we invested in our own future). Here in Afghanistan, the thousands of austere local villages out in the middle of nowhere receive no help from the Corrupt Government (in Kabul) and have no loyalty to that Government. You can see what an astronomical task financially, & politically it is to establish a stable Government here. also, about 85% to 90% of the country is illiterate.
3. Our Military and Government Leaders must understand the situation on the ground, such as discussed above, before committing our boy's lives, and our country's assets.
4. The Afghan people are very much guided by their Islamic Religion that employs limited freedoms on its people.
5. The Karzai Government Government is corrupt and our weak Government does very little to set stringent policies and rules in which the Afghan Government should abide by in order to receive the billions of dollars.
6. Lastly, our American Warriors on the front lines in those villages do make small meaningful differences ("God Bless Them"), but strategically our Military Generals (as Kevin states) and Government Agencies have failed in the overall mission, because it did not understand the situation on the ground and adapt to the tenets needed on the Political and Military battlefield. We are still making the same mistakes we were making 9 years ago!! Unbelievable "educated" people can be so ignorant and unwilling to open up that can of bad decisions, learn from them and correct them, instead continue to keep kicking the can down the road.

2014 Skyd Five: Men's Division (03/07/2014)
by Skyd Magazine | March 7, 2014, 2:08pm 0
Callahan Award 2014
The Skyd Five
The Skyd Five are the top five contenders for the Callahan award as decided by the Skyd Awards Committee. They're here because they've been identified to be excellent candidates for the honor bestowed by this award due to exemplary performances on the ultimate field and high character off of it. Through the entire 2014 College Tour, Skyd follow these players closely. As the season progresses, this list may change. New circumstances may mean that new players enter and leave the Skyd Five.
Please note that the Skyd Five represent the opinions of the award committee only, and will be facilitated to provide voters with more information about top candidates. Callahan voters are free to cast their vote for any eligible candidate, including those not featured in the Skyd Five.
In alphabetical order by last name:
Trent Dillon
Trent Dillon at Florida Warm-Up 2014 (William 'Brody' Brotman – UltiPhotos.com)
We can't mention Dillon's name without invoking the age-old debate about team results and Callahan voting. Pittsburgh has two consecutive championships under their belt, but an En Sabah Nur player has yet to win a Callahan. Can all-around star Trent Dillon be the first? While early season results shed doubt on Pittsburgh's ability to three-peat, doubting Dillon may prove to be the wrong move. Dillon is passionate about ultimate and has spent years dedicated to improving as a player, and this year, it's shining through more than ever. After the graduation of a strong senior class, he's been seen lining up on both sides of the disc and working as the primary cog of the Pittsburgh offense. Even when the offense struggles, Dillon is consistent as ever; they often look at him to move the disc, and on defense, he often matches up with the best the opposing team have to offer.
Will Driscoll
Will Driscoll at the Stanford Invite 2014 (William 'Brody' Brotman – UltiPhotos.com)
After a summer on the NexGen tour and a Club Championships where he was voted Doublewide's Most Valuable Player, Driscoll is ready for the spring season. However, with challenges from Jimmy Mickle's Mamabird and Dalton Smith-led Texas A&M, Driscoll will have his work cut out for him in his attempt to lead TUFF to a fourth consecutive College Championships appearance. After a tough Stanford Invite, Texas is looking at Centex to rebound. As a player, Driscoll uses his height (6'3") effectively to dominate the deep game, but also uses his agility to shut down matchups completely on defense. Like counterpart Christian Johnson of UNC, Texas is talented enough that they don't solely rely on Driscoll to make all of the big plays. Instead, it is his leadership that shines through, bringing his NexGen and club experience to foster the next generation of TUFF players.
Christian Johnson
Christian Johnson at QCTU 2014 (Kevin Leclaire – UltiPhotos.com)
As one of the leaders of the #1 team in the Skyd Power Rankings, Johnson will look to avenge UNC Darkside's quarterfinals loss at the college championships last year. Johnson sets himself apart from other candidates with his speed: his incredible velocity makes him dangerous in any position on the field. He generally cuts for Darkside, but frequently drops back into the handler position, where he's able to display his full arsenal of throws. And that's not to mention his defense — he constantly makes athletic plays in the air and has a fantastic mark. Interestingly enough, despite all these characteristics, he isn't asked to be UNC's star. Instead, he's a team player that is often more noticeable from the sideline than on the field. However, there's no doubt that the influence of Christian Johnson is one of the biggest reasons for Darkside's domination so far this season.
Eli Kerns
Eli Kerns at the Stanford Invite 2014 (William 'Brody' Brotman – Ultiphotos.com)
Eli Kerns has been a quiet star on an under-the-radar UC Davis team. He turned a lot of eyes last spring when he led the Dogs to a surprise pre-quarters victory over the hometown Wisconsin Hodags, and put up more strong numbers in the following game against Oregon. Outside of college, he's been a standout in the mixed division: as the points leader on the gold medal winning U-23 Mixed team and a key instrument in two straight Club Championships finals appearances for the Polar Bears. His on-field play is highlighted by a effective mark, fearless handles (especially in the wind), and some of the best breakmark throws in college ultimate. This year, Kerns will face a challenge in leading a rookie-heavy Davis squad back to Nationals for the third time in club history, but regardless of the team's performance, it's clear that he's one of the best individual players in the country.
Jimmy Mickle
Jimmy Mickle at New Years Ultimate Fest 2014 (Alex Rentzis – UltiPhotos.com)
He's been everywhere: three NexGen tour appearances, a world championship with the U-23 Open team, five solid years on Colorado Mamabird, and some memorable club seasons with Johnny Bravo. His leadership skills are of no question, and neither is his ability to open up the field offensively and use his 6'3" frame to play shutdown defense. Mickle is not only a dominating player on the field, but a spirited, humble and charismatic personality off of it. After stumbling at Stanford Invite this past weekend, Mamabird's ability to close out the spring season is the only question mark remaining for #MickleMania.
Other Contenders
We will be closely following the progress of Bobby Ley (Florida), Chris Larocque (Florida State), and Brice Dixon (Arizona) over the coming months, and we can't go without mentioning a host of talented players currently hampered by injuries: Elliott Erickson (Georgia), Josh Klane (Minnesota), and Colin Camp (Wisconsin), among others.

Amazon eyes up augmented and virtual reality tech for new physical stores
The company is considering launching first Indian grocery store in Bangalore.
By Sarmistha Acharya
March 27, 2017 16:21 BST
Amazon is exploring the possibility of opening stores to sell things like furniture and home appliances. Just like any other high street stores, customers visiting Amazon's new shops will be able to view and purchase items, then take them away or have them delivered to their homes.
But what is set to make Amazon's stores unique, according to people with knowledge of the matter, is the use of augmented or virtual reality, allowing customers to view the appliances and how they would look in their homes before buying them.

In addition to that, the company is also planning to launch an electronics store, similar to Apple's retail stores. These shops will have Amazon devices like the Echo smart speaker and the Prime Video streaming service.
As for groceries, Amazon is also looking into how a store could serve walk-in customers and act as a delivery and collection depot for home deliveries.
"We are always thinking about new ways to serve customers, but thinking is different than planning," Drew Herdener, a spokesperson for Amazon told the NYT.
Amazon is expected to open its first two grocery pick-up stores in Seattle's Ballard and SoDo in the coming weeks.
A source told the NYT that Amazon has been developing technology that could detect when a customer pulls into the car park so that orders can be brought to them quickly. A number of retailers including Walmart, Kroger and others are experimenting with the click and collect approach for shopping.

The company is testing Amazon Go, a store concept that would stock drinks, sandwiches and other meals. The company is currently fixing glitches with the service and has plans to launch Amazon Go in later in 2017.
Amazon has also explored a larger grocery store format, according to internal document reviewed by the NYT. The store could stock fresh produce and meats, as well as frozen foods, cereals and other items. Some products would be kept behind a partition, the internal Amazon documents explain, with employees (not robots) collecting them when requested by shoppers, similar to home petrol stations operate late at night when the door is locked.
Amazon Go is expected to be launched in UK and several other US cities by 2018, around the same time as when the company hopes to launch five more US-based AmazonFresh Pickup locations.
Amazon is targeting consumers in India, which is dominated by street bazaars, for its bricks and mortar grocery stores. It hopes to open its first Indian grocery store in Bangalore. It said in a statement it was excited by the Indian government's efforts to encourage foreign investment in a "stronger food supply chain."
"We have sought an approval to invest and partner with the government in achieving this vision," Amazon added.

The difference between the Australian Open COVID plan and rules at other international tournaments
The world's best tennis players have had an abrupt introduction to the world of hotel quarantine and isolation upon their arrival into Australia.
Of all the players set to compete in the first major of the season, 72 are now in hard quarantine after three of the 17 charter flights were impacted by positive COVID tests.
Some players have criticised the hard quarantine, saying they did not know that everyone on a flight would have to quarantine in the event of a positive test, although that has been contradicted by some other players.
Regardless, the increase in restrictions the players are facing has come as a shock to their collective systems. So why is that?
LIVE UPDATES: Read our blog for the latest news on the COVID-19 pandemic.
What have the rules been at other tournaments?
Like most sports around the world in 2020, tennis endured a hiatus of several months, with tournaments, including Wimbledon, cancelled across the world.
However, after that period off, tennis got back underway, with the US and French Opens both taking place, in conjunction with their associated warm-up tournaments.
Those tournaments used very similar protocols to those being used in Australia.
At the US Open, players were placed in a bio-secure bubble, with allocated hotels close to the National Tennis Centre site at Flushing Meadows.

Players were regularly tested, twice within 48 hours of arriving in New York before being accredited, and then re-tested every four days after. At the Australian Open, players will be tested every day.
Heading off site, including visiting Manhattan, was banned and players had to wear masks when not on court.
The US Open even moved a warm-up event, the Cincinnati Open, to Flushing Meadows to reduce the amount of travel for players, much in the same way that the pre-Australian Open tournaments were moved from Perth, Brisbane and Sydney to Melbourne.
Players were told to wear masks at all times apart from playing, as well as subjecting themselves to daily temperature testing and a questionnaire before being allowed access.
The rules around the French Open, which took place two weeks after the conclusion of the US Open, were similar.

Were the players OK with that?
There was some dissent at the conditions imposed on players for the return to tennis.
Novak Djokovic, who has also called for changes in quarantine for players in Australia, criticised the conditions that were imposed for the US Open, saying it would be "impossible" to play tennis.
"The rules that they told us that we would have to respect to be there, to play at all, they are extreme," Djokovic said in an interview with Serbian TV prior to the tournament.
"We would not have access to Manhattan, we would have to sleep in hotels at the airport, to be tested twice or three times per week … we could bring one person to the club which is really impossible. I mean, you need your coach, then a fitness trainer, then a physiotherapist."

Rafael Nadal also didn't travel, questioning the safety of travelling during the pandemic.
"The situation is very complicated worldwide, the COVID-19 cases are increasing, it looks like we still don't have control of it," Nadal tweeted ahead of the Open.
"This is a decision I never wanted to take but I have decided to follow my heart this time and for the time being I rather not travel."
He had no such qualms about travelling to France though, where he won a record-extending 13th French Open title.
Lack of quarantine around the world
Normally, the life of a tennis pro involves multiple smash-and-grab raids around the world — players fly in to a city, play and then fly out again once they're done.
However, that's not possible in Australia due to the federal requirement to quarantine.
Limiting returned travellers and hotel quarantine has been the pillar of Australia's defence against coronavirus, and the players had to abide by those rules too.
"The rules apply to them as they apply to everybody else," Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews said.
"That was the condition on which they came. There's no special treatment here. Because the virus doesn't treat you specially. So neither do we."
The Australian Open attempted to limit the likelihood of exposure by laying on chartered flights, thereby not allowing players to travel with the general public.
Are all the players in hard quarantine?

Not all of them.
Only three of the 17 flights into Australia carrying players had positive tests associated with them.
Those players who have not been exposed to a positive case are still in quarantine, but are permitted to train for five hours per day under restricted conditions.
Each of the three hotels has its own, separate training facility to limit mixing between hotels.
Players are escorted by COVID marshals to and from the training centre, which has a one-way system in place to stop any possible mixing.
That includes the 50 or so players and staff that are in Adelaide who, due to a lack of space available in Tennis Australia's quarantine hotels, were moved to South Australia.
The rules there are the same as in Melbourne, although no players tested positive on the flight to Adelaide, so they are also able to train.

Record-Breaking Property Loans Revealed by Australian Bureau of Statistics
Recent data released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics showed Australians are borrowing more money for property than ever before.
It was recorded that a rising 5.6 per cent to $24 billion is the total value of new loan commitments for housing reached a record high in November 2020. The amount was almost a third higher than it was in November 2019, just prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Amanda Seneviratne, the ABS' head of finance and wealth, revealed most of the money was allocated in for homes that already existed.
According to her, "loan commitments for existing dwellings rose 5.9 per cent and were the largest contributor to the rise in November's owner-occupier housing loan commitments."
She added the value of construction loan obligations surged to 5.6 per cent in November, skyrocketing to 75 per cent since July. This follows the June's enactment of the Government's HomeBuilder grant as a nod to COVID-19.
"Other federal and state government incentives and ongoing low-interest rates also contributed to the continuing growth in new housing loan commitments." She explained.
The number of loan commitments for first home buyers rose 3.1 per cent to 13,905, marking a stratospheric rise of 42.5 per cent since the start of the year. A huge spike in home loans also marks a return to form for the Australian property market, which was remarkably resilient throughout the worst of the pandemic.
Given this fact, it seemed that the lack of accessibility to view and purchase properties merely rested ordinary trade until vendors, agents and buyers could begin working as normal.
As per, Tim Lawless, Corelogic's research director, "the number of residential property sales plummeted by 40 per cent through March and April but finished the year with almost 8 per cent more sales relative to a year ago as buyer numbers surged through the second half of the year."
The director asserted that although the unpredictability is prevalent, housing values showed notable resilience, falling by only 2.1 per cent and recovering with strength throughout the final quarter of 2020.

Access to capital crucial to small-business survival: ASBFEO
The Australian Small Business and Family Enterprise Ombudsman, Kate Carnell, has called on the Government to set up a revenue-contingent loan scheme for small businesses. The Ombudsman said that such a move is critical to the cashflow requirements of many SMEs in staying solvents in the next 12 months with COVID fiscal stimulus measures ending and banks still making the loans process so complicated and time-consuming for small businesses.
"Unfortunately, it's a perfect storm scenario, especially for those small businesses that haven't been able to fully recover from the COVID crisis," Carnell said.
"Access to credit will be critical to keeping those otherwise viable small businesses afloat, particularly over the coming months as support measures are phased out and the bills start flowing in again."
The Ombudsman is advocating for a revenue-contingent loan scheme for small businesses that mirrors the HECS scheme, meaning borrowers will only have to start making repayments once their turnover reaches a specified level. The proposal is that the Federal Government fund the scheme, and that maximum loan values are calculated based on each SME's annual revenue, with businesses applying for funding needing to pass a viability test to qualify.
"Sudden lockdowns and border closures have heavily impacted small businesses in recent weeks – it's no wonder they are scared to take on additional bank debt given conditions can deteriorate so rapidly," Carnell said.
"Even in the best of times, small businesses have struggled to secure finance. Taking into account the enormous challenges they are now facing, the fallout of insufficient working capital could be devastating, not only for small business owners and their staff, but for the broader economy," Carnell added.
"The latest ASIC data shows external administrator appointments were up by 23 per cent in December 2020 and economists are predicting the number of businesses entering voluntary administration to rise this year.
"A revenue-contingent loan scheme would give small businesses the confidence they need to seek funding, so they can survive and employ again. It's essential to Australia's economic recovery."

2021 Australian Open COVID crisis deepens, Pfizer vaccine deaths in Norway spark concern, worldwide COVID-19 death toll tops 2 million
Three mystery cases of the same strain of COVID-19 that erupted within hours of each other at opposite ends of Sydney's northern beaches are at the centre of the hunt for the outbreak's patient zero.
However, the popular theory that Sydney's latest wave of cases was spawned by a celebrity or a business identity self-isolating on the beaches' affluent northern peninsula appears to have been debunked by authorities.
NSW Health has revealed it did not grant any exemptions to isolate outside of hotel quarantine to any local residents in the month leading up to the outbreak.
Find out what else health authorities know so far about "patient zero".

auditable communications to employees, including availability checks, RU Safe
and lone worker notifications.
the challenge for small businesses has always been how do you deploy SMS at
scale so that you're not welded to your phone all day instead of running your
technology platforms can now be used to implement and automate SMS communications.
Communications platforms like Whispir's are incredibly versatile and can be utilised by a diverse range of businesses to solve a range of challenges using SMS. They provide fast development capability, cost-effective infrastructure and service delivery, repeatability and reliable process automation – all key benefits when looking at ways to more effectively operate in this new COVID-normal.
capability has extended beyond basic messaging and scheduled delivery, with
businesses now able to use workflows to automate messaging paths based on
keywords or phrases used in the body of the incoming text message responses.
This two-way conversational building block dynamically captures recipient
content to trigger and route further automated communications.
the great news for small businesses is that the platforms have low-code/no-code
capability. This means it will integrate with what IT system you're using and
can be quickly implemented and used without the need for outside IT expertise.
They use drag and drop style templates so that you can build them yourself.
For example, your businesses could use this capability to ascertain customer interest in a virtual event. Based on whether the recipient's answer was "yes" or "not right now", they can respond to the recipient with additional information on the event. This information can then be routed to the business email to record responses for follow-up and reporting purposes.
Automated SMS responses are completely customisable and not limited to Yes, No or numbered list responses. Businesses are also not limited with the number of SMS responses prompts they can establish and can set time constraints for when SMS responses are captured. For example, if you're messaging your staff about a vacant shift tomorrow, you can select to only capture responses that are received today. Businesses can also use the same platforms to preset different automated responses in instances when the recipient hasn't responded to the initial.
messaging significantly improves customer experience, providing seamless contextual
engagement based on earlier recipient interactions. As SMS messages can
incorporate URL links, businesses can use messaging pathways, conditional logic
and triggers to move customers and employees online to purpose-built web pages
that do not require an app.
automating more of the communication journey, organisations can build loyalty
with their customers, resolve enquiries faster, save time and improve user

Victoria plans for international students' return with special quarantine housing | Australian universities
The Victorian state government is hoping to bring international students back into the state in 2021, as student advocates say they are happy to pay for quarantine and accommodation in a similar set-up to the 1,200 people allowed in for the Australian Open.
On Friday, a spokeswoman for the premier, Daniel Andrews, said the state was "working closely" with the federal government to bring international students back into Victoria, where they contribute $13.7bn a year to the state's economy.
Despite the national cabinet announcing earlier in the month that arrival caps would be reduced, the Australian newspaper has reported that a potential plan to bring in students will be discussed at a meeting of the national cabinet on 5 February.
While the Victorian government has not shared any details of how many students it hopes to bring in, or how they would be quarantined, Phil Honeywood, the CEO of the International Education Association of Australia, said students and universities were willing to pay.
"We put to the Victorian government a plan for separate quarantine in purpose-built student accommodation," Honeywood told Guardian Australia. "We wouldn't take up any hotel beds. The international students and the education providers would pay. The taxpayer wouldn't pay anything."
Honeywood said Victoria had agreed to allow tennis players in for the Australian Open, and the federal government had allowed cricketers in – but that international students posed less of a virus risk, and contributed more to the economy over more years.
"While the sector understands the need for Australian citizens to be given priority, what we find hard to understand is 1,200 tennis players including their entourages, hundreds of cricket players and their entourages, and thousands of military personnel invited for training purposes have been able to come in," he said.
"Those professional sportspeople are only here for three weeks. They have got much more [Covid] safety issues attached to them, compared to international students who are here for three to four years."
Under the arrangements for the Australian Open, Victoria opened up three new hotels for quarantining tennis players and associated people, paid for by Tennis Australia. And in November, some international students returned to the Northern Territory and quarantined in the Howard Springs former mining camp after the territory government struck a deal with the federal government.
"The frustration is the Northern Territory government were able to prove it can be done," Honeywood said. "They brought 63 returning international students from five different countries into Darwin in November. None of them had Covid. All of them went straight from the airport to quarantine and they have been happily studying at Charles Darwin University."
Honeywood welcomed the Victorian government's plan to bring students back, but said the federal and state governments needed to provide a "logistical or definite plan".
"We have a virtual game of pass the parcel between different levels of government," he said.
"When we speak to the federal government about border openings and pilot programs, they tell us to speak to the state government. State government tells us to speak to federal – because they control [the Australian] border force. The national cabinet's decision only a week ago to cut the number of international arrivals by half clearly has not assisted our sector, our industry."
The South Australian government had also arranged a program to bring in 300 international students in November, which was put on hold when the state had its short-lived second Covid wave.
Honeywood said the South Australian government had indicated that the students could be brought back in February but "there has been no announcement made by the state government".
"In Victoria, apart from the headline in the Australian, the premier hasn't given any indicative date or information. They haven't indicated to us how many students they take in, or when. We are hoping it is not another state government giving a nod in our direction and not backing it up with any logistical or definite plan."
According to the Victorian government, international students brought in $13.7bn for the state in 2019 and supported 79,000 jobs.
In 2019, the state had 250,000 international students, but that number halved to 120,000 due to the border closures brought on by the pandemic.
Honeywood said letting international students back into the country would have a multiplier effect on the country's economy.
"According to government figures, 240,000 Australians work in the international education industry," he said. "These are not just teaching jobs; they include people who work in student accommodation, in marketing and student support services. Already we have seen thousands of these jobs made redundant.
"Semester one is our main intake. If we don't have any intake of any remaining students, it's estimated to be an $8bn hit to the national economy, over the year."
A spokesman for Andrews said: "The Victorian government is working closely with education providers and the Australian government to welcome international students back to Victoria when it is safe to do so.
"We will follow all protocols and preconditions set by the Australian government and adhere to the public health advice and directions set by the Victorian chief health officer."

Heterotrophic planktonic bacteria represent a reasonably large proportion of the living particu-late organic matter in the Hudson River and so might be a significant food resource for some consumers. The debate over whether microbes are "links" versus "sinks" for organic carbon depends to a large extent on bacterial growth efficiencies but will also be a function of the particle-harvesting abilities of the microconsumers in an ecosystem. In the Hudson, as in many other aquatic systems, smallheterotrophic flagellates are the predominant consumers of free-living bacteria (Vaque et al., 1992) and these flagellates are themselves potential prey for larger zooplankton (see Chapter 16). Given the rapid turnover times for bacterial biomass there must be large consumption or other losses, otherwise the cell accumulations would be much greater than the ~50 percent seasonal changes in abundance actually observed. While zebra mussels have proven capable of filtering a large proportion of the river volume per day (Strayer et al., 1999), they do not capture natural bacterial cells efficiently and in fact the abundance of bacteria has increased postzebra mussel (Findlay et al., 1998a) particularly in the upriver stations where zebra mussels are most numerous. These observations together with experiments designed to examine zebra mussel clearance of various grazers suggests zebra mussels have been released from flagellate control because zebra mussels can very effectively clear natural flagellates from the Hudson River's water column (Findlay et al., 1998a). This change implies that HR planktonic bacteria maybe under less grazer control currently than pre- zebra mussel and perhaps their contribution to higher trophic levels has declined since the early 1990s.
Carbon inputs to the Hudson are overwhelmingly dominated by loads of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and particulate organic carbon (POC) from the catchment. Mean annual inputs are on the order of 600 gC m-2 y-1 and this input is primarily from the upper Hudson drainage basin at a ratio of roughly 2/3 DOC and 1/3 POC (Howarth, Schneider, and Swaney, 1996). Tidal marshes (~4500 ha for entire river) are highly productive with NPP values commonly 1 or more kg carbon/m2/yr and although the net export to the mainstem is uncertain, outwelling of particulate and dissolved organic carbon was estimated as 16 gC/m2/yr (Howarth et al., 1996). Autochthonous carbon inputs include phytoplankton and submersed vegetation, which together currently make up about 20 gC m-2 y-1 (see Chapter 9).

The Venture Brothers: a unique parody
James King, A&E Writer
This article I've been wanting to do for a while and it will be a bit different from my normal movie reviews, because this time I'm reviewing a show, my favorite show, The Venture Brothers. The Venture Brothers started in 2003 as a parody of cartoons ( specifically Johnny Quest), comics, pop music, and generally pop culture. The wacky brainchild of the Doc Hammer and Jackson Publick ( also known as Christopher McCulloch), the show just ended its 7th season, with the long wait for the 8th season just beginning. It's a show that keeps bring me back for every season. In my eyes, it's as close one can get to a perfect show on television.
Visually Venture Brothers is endless eye candy with tons of visual gags. The character designs and backgrounds are deceptively complex. Every character is drawn in simple fashion, but it allows the show to have massive characters on screen. Every character we see in the show is distinct and different and that's saying something when there are over 200 characters that have appeared on the show. Every background is beautifully colored and detailed, all of which is done by hand.
The writing is by far the best thing about the show. The relationships between the characters are where the show really shines. With legally safe knock-offs of superheroes, G.I. Joes, and super scientists all occupying the same world, it can be really funny seeing a subverted version of Spiderman fight with what is basically an adult version of Johnny Quest. With all the different genres coming together, you'd expect the finished product to be a jumbled mess, but it comes together really well. You'll have a character being blown up in one scene, then you'll see a really deep moment of character's drama in the next. The world building and mythos the show creates is spectacular with so many and lends itself incredibly well to the kind of theory crafting shows like Rick and Morty enjoy. The show constantly surprises me with its reveals and callbacks, saying any more could ruin the show for any new potential watchers, so I won't go into that here.
Now that isn't to say that there isn't a few bad aspects of the show. The first season, while probably filled with the most quotable lines, kind of meanders as the show tries to find its voice and style. Some of the characters in the show, like the protagonist Rusty Venture, can come off as unlikable and, while I believe that is by design, it can still turn people off to the show since he's one of the characters we spend the most time with. There are also very long breaks in between each season. Sometimes the wait for new episodes can be upwards of two years.
I love this show because it feels entirely unique in its own weird way. It's a show that only gets better with each passing season and It's a show that reminds me not only why I love animation, but why I love media in general.

There is now, however, the first real alternative candidate for the 13th Congressional District that we have had since 1996.
The spirit of the First Amendment, besides free speech and assembly, is to provide citizens the Right to Redress, to complain about the Government and demand better. It is my contention that Mac Thornberry is no longer doing his job.
I have spoken with other constituents, and read letters to editors, liberal and conservative alike, very angry about this. Some say that Thornberry is afraid to have his ALEC tailored talking points challenged in public and reported more widely to his embarrassment.
However, it appears that recent, greatly increased campaign contributions have given Mac the impression that he needn't worry about his general constituency. The simple fact appears to be that Mac can afford not to care.
There is now, however, the first real alternative candidate for the 13th Congressional District that we have had since 1996. His name is Greg Sagan, and though he is running as a Democrat, many of his ideas involve the creative collaboration of government and free enterprise (business) which could satisfy both progressives and conservatives.
Most importantly, Greg vows to represent ALL the people, eschews the influence of Special Interests, and promises to serve two terms only. Since it looks like we won't have a real town hall meeting or debate, I encourage all to review Mac's mission statement at Thornberry.house.gov and check out Greg Sagan's platform at gregsagan2018.org and contrast the two.
Better still, find out where Greg Sagan will next be appearing and see what he has to say. Or email him. He'll get right back to you. He cares.

In addition to anti-corruption measures to reduce corruption risk, the Company also creates measures to help detect and report corruption risks in a timely manner. Communication channels were set and displayed on company's website. These channels connect stakeholders, related parties, executives, and employee, enabling a channel for grievances, report corruption cases, or injustice. The Company prioritizes protection of sources, and have measures to protect the sources against reconciliation and threats thereafter. The Company also establishes measures for damage compensation, if occur, to the source.
With regard to the Company's operations in the past 5 years, there were reported cases of employee wrongdoing, with most of the cases being employees taking cash for personal use and eating products in the store without paying money.
In 2017, we have developed strategies and channels for receiving complaint which is better to approach target group in every level. And, to make staff in every level of company to understand the anti-corruption regulations. So in 2017, we have found the increased cases of corruption and company can also set the corruption defensive measure, appropriately and accurately, which help to reduce repeated cases. The example of the corruption defensive measure in 7-11 store as follows.
– The Store Manager is responsible for controlling and counting cash sales of employees of each shift.
– FC is responsible for monitoring the work of the Store Manager who has to go to the store and count cash at the branch store.
QSSI Team inspects the quality of products and services and monitors compliance such as keeping cash in the cash register as well as reserve cash outside of the cash register.
Loss Prevention Team monitors information on the negative difference in the number of products from product checking and inspects the operations of store branches without prior notice, such as body search of employees operating the cash register, record of transactions and viewing the CCTV feed.
