Matthew Charlton (15 March 1866 – 8 December 1948 [1] ) was an Australian politician who served as leader of the Labor Party from 1922 to 1928. He led the party to defeat at the 1922 and 1925 federal elections.
The Australian Labor Party is a major centre-left political party in Australia. The party has been in opposition at the federal level since the 2013 election. The party is a federal party with branches in each state and territory. Labor is in government in the states of Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, and in both the Australian Capital Territory and Northern Territory. The party competes against the Liberal/National Coalition for political office at the federal and state levels. It is the oldest political party in Australia.
Federal elections were held in Australia on 16 December 1922. All 75 seats in the House of Representatives, and 19 of the 36 seats in the Senate were up for election. The incumbent Nationalist Party, led by Prime Minister Billy Hughes lost its majority. However, the opposition Labor Party led by Matthew Charlton did not take office as the Nationalists sought a coalition with the fledgling Country Party led by Earle Page. The Country Party made Hughes's resignation the price for joining, and Hughes was replaced as Nationalist leader by Stanley Bruce.
Federal elections were held in Australia on 14 November 1925. All 75 seats in the House of Representatives and 22 of the 36 seats in the Senate were up for election. The incumbent Nationalist–Country coalition, led by Prime Minister Stanley Bruce, defeated the opposition Labor Party led by Matthew Charlton.

Early federal career
Final years
Charlton was born in Linton, Victoria, but as a child moved to Lambton, New South Wales. He left school at a young age to work in the coal mines, initially as a hurrier. Charlton became prominent in the trade union movement, and in 1903 was elected to the New South Wales Legislative Assembly for the Labor Party. He switched to federal parliament in 1910. Charlton was an anti-conscriptionist, and remained with Labor after the party split of 1916. He was elected party leader in early 1922, following the death of Frank Tudor. As Leader of the Opposition, Charlton increased Labor's vote in 1922 but suffered a backwards slide in 1925. He resigned as leader in early 1928, succeeded by James Scullin, and left politics later that year.
Linton is a town in Victoria, Australia, off Glenelg Highway. Most of the town is located in Golden Plains Shire; however, a small section is in the Shire of Pyrenees. At the 2016 census, Linton and the surrounding area had a population of 580. The Clarkesdale Bird Sanctuary lies to the south-east of the township, near Springdallah Creek.
Lambton is a suburb of Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia, 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) from Newcastle's central business district.
A hurrier, also sometimes called a coal drawer or coal thruster, was a child or woman employed by a collier to transport the coal that they had mined. Women would normally get the children to help them because of the difficulty of carrying the coal. Common particularly in the early 19th century, the hurrier pulled a corf full of coal along roadways as small as 16 inches in height. They would often work 12-hour shifts, making several runs down to the coal face and back to the surface again.
Little is recorded about Charlton's early life, as he grew up in a relatively unknown mining district. It is known, however, that Charlton was born on 15 March 1866 in Linton, Victoria, a small town near Ballarat that today has less than 500 residents. [2] He was born to Matthew Charlton, an English miner from Durham, and Mabel (née Foard). In 1871, the five-year-old Charlton's father moved with his family to Lambton, a suburb of Newcastle, New South Wales. After primary education at Lambton Public School, Charlton began work at Lambton Colliery as a coal trapper; a children's-only job opening trapdoors for coal carts. [3] When too old for the job, Charlton was given a job at the coal-face. At 23 he married Martha Rollings at nearby New Lambton. [4] [1]
Durham is a historic city and the county town of County Durham in North East England. The city lies on the River Wear, to the west of Sunderland, south of Newcastle upon Tyne and to the north of Darlington. Founded over the final resting place of St Cuthbert, its Norman cathedral became a centre of pilgrimage in medieval England. The cathedral and adjacent 11th-century castle were designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1986. The castle has been the home of Durham University since 1832. HM Prison Durham is also located close to the city centre. City of Durham is the name of the civil parish.
The Newcastle metropolitan area is the second most populated area in the Australian state of New South Wales and the Newcastle and Lake Macquarie local government areas. It is the hub of the Greater Newcastle area which includes most parts of the local government areas of City of Newcastle, City of Lake Macquarie, City of Cessnock, City of Maitland and Port Stephens Council.
New Lambton is a suburb of Newcastle, in the Hunter Region of New South Wales, Australia. It is located about 6 km (4 mi) west of the Newcastle CBD. It includes two shopping districts, schools and other general facilities. At the 2016 Australian census it had a population of approximately 10,000.
In 1896 plans to reduce coal workers' wages led to strike action. Charlton supported the struggle against wage reductions, but the effort failed and, along with many other miners, he moved to the goldfields near Kalgoorlie, Western Australia. After two years there, Charlton returned to Lambton and became an official in the Colliery Employees' Federation, [5] becoming treasurer in 1901. While occupying that position, Charlton also prepared arbitration cases. Battling for an improvement in mine workers' conditions, he attended a trade union congress in November 1902, at which he moved for nationalisation of the coal mining industry, believing it would "eliminate cut-throat competition between owners that depressed miners' wages and conditions". [1] That idea was opposed as being too radical but a compromise was drawn up urging state governments to open and run their own coal mines, while affirming the ultimate desirability of full nationalisation. [1]
Strike action, also called labor strike, labour strike, or simply strike, is a work stoppage, caused by the mass refusal of employees to work. A strike usually takes place in response to employee grievances. Strikes became common during the Industrial Revolution, when mass labor became important in factories and mines. In most countries, strike actions were quickly made illegal, as factory owners had far more power than workers. Most Western countries partially legalized striking in the late 19th or early 20th centuries.
Colleagues urged Charlton to stand for the state electoral district of Waratah, and on 5 December 1903 Charlton became the second member for the district in the New South Wales Legislative Assembly. His representation of that district was short-lived, as the next year he transferred to Northumberland, replacing John Norton. Charlton became the unofficial spokesperson for the miners, speaking principally about mining matters in parliament. In 1909 a coal miners' strike struck New South Wales and Charlton was called upon by the Colliery Employees' Federation to represent it in front of a wage board. Charlton was unsuccessful in gaining better conditions for the miners but he did settle the dispute, talking to miners around the state and convincing them to return to work. He resigned from state politics and in 1910 Charlton wrested the federal Division of Hunter from the sitting Frank Liddell. Hunter has remained a safe Labor seat ever since. [1] [6]
Waratah was an electoral district of the Legislative Assembly in the Australian state of New South Wales first created in 1894 with the abolition of multi-member districts from part of the electoral district of Newcastle. It was abolished in 1913 and recreated in 1930, replacing parts of Kahibah and Wallsend. It was abolished again in 1999.
The New South Wales Legislative Assembly is the lower of the two houses of the Parliament of New South Wales, an Australian state. The upper house is the New South Wales Legislative Council. Both the Assembly and Council sit at Parliament House in the state capital, Sydney. The Assembly is presided over by the Speaker of the Legislative Assembly.
Northumberland was an electoral district for the Legislative Assembly in the Australian state of New South Wales from 1859 to 1913, in the Newcastle area and named after Northumberland County. It elected two members simultaneously between 1880 and 1887 and three members between 1887 and 1894. Voters cast a vote for each vacancy and the leading candidates were elected.
Charlton shortly after his election to federal parliament
Charlton was an immediate success with Andrew Fisher and was promoted to the temporary chairmanship of committees in the House in 1913, however Charlton threatened to resign in 1915 over a dispute in government delays in granting the committee increased powers. Fisher mollified him and in 1916 Charlton proved his loyalty to the new Labor leader Billy Hughes by voting for Hughes' conscription referendum bill, even though he was vehemently opposed to conscription and fought hard against it. [7] However, Charlton seemed to accept the affirmative result of the referendum and again proved his loyalty to Hughes by defending him when he became the target of caucus criticism. Charlton attempted to deflect attacks made on Hughes to a party conference, but Hughes left the party before a decision could be made. [1] [7]
Andrew Fisher was an Australian politician who served three separate terms as Prime Minister of Australia – from 1908 to 1909, from 1910 to 1913, and from 1914 to 1915. He was the leader of the Australian Labor Party from 1907 to 1915.
William Morris Hughes, was an Australian politician who served as the 7th Prime Minister of Australia, in office from 1915 to 1923. He is best known for leading the country during World War I, but his influence on national politics spanned several decades. Hughes was a member of federal parliament from Federation in 1901 until his death, the only person to have served for more than 50 years. He represented six political parties during his career, leading five, outlasting four, and being expelled from three.
Conscription, sometimes called the draft, is the compulsory enlistment of people in a national service, most often a military service. Conscription dates back to antiquity and continues in some countries to the present day under various names. The modern system of near-universal national conscription for young men dates to the French Revolution in the 1790s, where it became the basis of a very large and powerful military. Most European nations later copied the system in peacetime, so that men at a certain age would serve 1–8 years on active duty and then transfer to the reserve force.
The new Labor leader Frank Tudor was a weak leader in health and political prowess. The successor-designate was T. J. Ryan, who had resigned as premier of Queensland in 1919 to federal politics. [8] In August 1920, both Tudor and Ryan were taken ill while two of the Hughes Government's most important bills were being debated (the Industrial Peace Bill and the Conciliation and Arbitration Bill). On 12 August, a special caucus meeting elected Charlton as acting leader in the House of Representatives; the party's deputy leader was Senator Albert Gardiner. [9] Ryan died of pneumonia on 1 August 1921 after persistent ill health. On 29 September, the party elected Charlton as deputy leader in place of Ryan. [10] Tudor died of heart disease on 10 January 1922, and Charlton became the de facto acting leader of the party. On 25 January, the party unanimously chose him as leader of the Labor Party in the House of Representatives, thus allowing him to become Leader of the Opposition. [11] [12] The overall leadership of the party remained vacant until 16 May, when Charlton won a ballot against Albert Gardiner (the party's sole senator). Gardiner was then chosen as his deputy. [13]
At the 1922 federal election, Charlton offered alternative policies and looked to be favourite until he was hospitalised with illness halfway through the campaign. Labor still won the most seats as a single party, but Charlton was unable to defeat a strong government coalition. Labor remained in opposition. [1]
Because of great losses during World War I, Charlton opposed military training and commitments of Australian forces. In 1924 Charlton was invited to a League of Nations (now United Nations) conference in Geneva, Switzerland. At the conference Charlton strongly opposed war, and the Geneva Protocol took form. Upon his return to Australia, Charlton advocated adoption of the protocol, but the government sided with the British and refused to observe it. [1] [14]
Charlton lost the 1925 election, largely due to his stance on industrial relations and continual militant union action which plagued his campaign. Charlton always aided in maintaining amicable relations in the party and many times lent his expertise to conflicts within the NSW branch of the Labor Party. He resigned from his positions on 29 March 1928. His successor James Scullin went on to become the Prime Minister of Australia. [1]
Charlton in 1928
Following retirement from federal politics, Charlton took an interest in local government and became an alderman on the Lambton Council from 1934 to 1938 (before its merger with the City of Newcastle). He died at Lambton, New South Wales, on 8 December 1948, the place where he had grown up and lived most of his life. Charlton was buried in the general section of Sandgate Cemetery. Martha Charlton died on 8 June 1955 and is interred with him. Their sons Matthew and Percy predeceased both of them. [1] [15]
The Division of Charlton in the Hunter Region was named in his honour, and was a safe Labor seat from its creation in 1984 until its abolition in 2016. [16]
Sir Joseph Cook, was an Australian politician who served as the sixth Prime Minister of Australia, in office from 1913 to 1914. He was the leader of the Commonwealth Liberal Party from 1913 to 1917, after earlier serving as the leader of the Anti-Socialist Party from 1908 to 1909.
Francis Gwynne Tudor was an Australian politician who served as the leader of the Australian Labor Party from 1916 until his death. He had previously been a government minister under Andrew Fisher and Billy Hughes.
The Division of Charlton was an Australian electoral division in the state of New South Wales. The division was created in 1984 and is named for Matthew Charlton, who was Leader of the Australian Labor Party 1922–28.
William Guthrie Spence, Australian trade union leader and politician, played a leading role in the formation of both Australia's largest union, the Australian Workers' Union, and the Australian Labor Party.
Albert "Jupp" Gardiner was an Australian politician who served as a Senator for New South Wales from 1910 to 1926 and again briefly in 1928. A member of the Labor Party, he served in cabinet as Vice-President of the Executive Council under Andrew Fisher and Billy Hughes, and from 1916 to 1926 was his party's Senate leader; he was its only senator from 1920 to 1922. Before entering federal politics he had served in the Parliament of New South Wales from 1891 to 1895 and from 1904 to 1907.
David Watkins was an Australian politician and Member of the Australian House of Representatives for Newcastle from Federation in 1901 until his death in 1935. His death left former Prime Minister Billy Hughes as the only remaining member of the First Parliament still in the House.
John Marcus Baddeley was an Australian politician and member of the New South Wales Legislative Assembly from 25 March 1922 to 8 September 1949.
The 1919 Australian federal election was held on 13 December 1919 to elect members to the Parliament of Australia. All 75 seats in the House of Representatives and 19 of the 36 seats in the Senate were up for election. The incumbent Nationalist Party government won re-election, with Prime Minister Billy Hughes continuing in office.
Rowland "Rowley" James was an Australian politician and coalminer. Born at Lambton, New South Wales, the son of a Welshman, he was educated at a government school and worked in the mines for twenty-five years. On 24 July 1912, he married Gladys Mary Davies. Having served the Collie River District Miners' Union of Workers, he returned to New South Wales to become part of the Australian Coal and Shale Employees' Federation.
Josiah Thomas was an Australian politician. He was elected to the House of Representatives at the inaugural 1901 federal election, representing the Labor Party. Thomas served as a minister in Andrew Fisher's first two governments, as Postmaster-General and Minister for External Affairs (1911–1913). He joined the Nationalist Party after the 1916 Labor split and transferred to the Senate at the 1917 election, serving as a Senator for New South Wales from 1917 to 1923 and from 1925 to 1929.
John Estell was an Australian politician. He was a member of the New South Wales Parliament from 1899 until his death and held a number of ministerial positions in the Government of New South Wales. He was a member of the Labor Party.
Alfred Edden was an Australian politician. He was a member of the New South Wales Parliament from 1891 until 1920 and held a number of ministerial positions in the Government of New South Wales. He was a foundation member of the Labor Party but left the party over the question of the solidarity pledge in 1891. He rejoined in 1895 and remained a member until the party split over the question of conscription during World War I. He then joined the Nationalist Party.
Tom Armstrong was an Australian politician. He was a member of the New South Wales Parliament from 1953 until his death in 1957. He was independent but generally supported the Labor Party government of Joseph Cahill. Armstrong was born and educated to elementary level in Lambton, New South Wales. He was the son of a coal-miner and began working as a miner at Wallsend Colliery at age 14. He eventually became an ironworker at the Newcastle Steel Works and became an official of the Federated Ironworkers' Association. He was elected as an alderman of Newcastle City Council between 1941 and 1953 and was the Mayor of Newcastle in 1952.
The Hon. Hamilton Knight was an Australian politician and a member of the New South Wales Legislative Assembly from 1927 until 1947.

He was the Minister for Labour and Industry and Social Welfare for 6 years during the premiership of William McKell.
Thomas Joseph Ryan was an Australian politician who served as Premier of Queensland from 1915 to 1919, as leader of the state Labor Party. He resigned to enter federal politics, sitting in the House of Representatives for the federal Labor Party from 1919 until his premature death less than two years later.
Peter Bowling was an Australian coal miner and trade unionist.
People have worked as coal miners for centuries, but they became increasingly important during the Industrial revolution when coal was burnt on a large scale to fuel stationary and locomotive engines and heat buildings. Owing to coal's strategic role as a primary fuel, coal miners have figured strongly in labour and political movements since that time. After the late 19th century coal miners in many countries were a frequent presence in industrial disputes with both the management and government. Coal miners' politics, while complex, have occasionally been radical, with a frequent leaning towards far-left political views. A number of far-left political movements have had the support of both coal miners themselves and their trade unions, particularly in Great Britain. In France, on the other hand, coal miners have been much more conservative.
J & A Brown was an privately owned Australian coal family firm founded by James Brown (1816–1894) and Alexander Brown (1827–1877).
The Australian Labor Party held a leadership election on 16 May 1922, following the death of Frank Tudor. The party elected Matthew Charlton as its new leader.

What I use on my body every day.
I have made the decision to stop using products that contain chemicals that I know my body doesn't need. Iv cut out shampoo, Iv cut out soap, Iv cutout mainstream deodorant. I'm sick of the lies Iv been told about what I need to use to stay clean.
When I was pregnant I started using natural products like the ones found in the health food shops. I stopped dying my hair and painting my nails. All this gave me time to try a natural way and see what happens.
Ever since my daughter was born, I have only used water to bathe her. She's almost 3 now and I've only used a soap about a handful of times. A good soaking in the bath is all she needs to remove the dirt from her body. If she has a few marks that won't come off then a good wipe down with a flannel is all that is needed.
She's almost 3 now and I've only used a soap about a handful of times.
This got me thinking about my body and whether I needed to use soap. What was the soap doing if just water was already cleaning my daughter.
Eventually, I used the last of my bottle of natural shower gel and haven't bought any since. That shower gel was what I also used to wash my hair. Now I don't use anything but water.
You need a few things before you completely switch to just water.
Hair: I wash my hair with water. To do this I have a wooden comb, a bristle brush, a hair clip. The idea is to brush those nourishing Hair oils through your hair to moisturise it.
Body: I have a body brush that I brush down my body in the shower. I use natural chemical free soap when I need to shave my legs. If you don't shave then you don't need this. Instead of a disposable razor, I use a safety razor which comes with a blade that I can clean and sharpen so it will last a lifetime.
I also use coconut oil as a moisturiser for my legs and face.
Teeth: I use a natural toothpaste and brush my teeth using a bamboo toothbrush that will not harm the planet when I am finished with it.
That's it, that's all I use to shower and get my body ready for the day. I don't use make-up as I'm at the stage where I want to appreciate and accept all the blemishes on my face, why should I hide them just so other people feel better.
Choosing to cut out these products and sticking with easily accessible items that last a lifetime can help you be part of the change towards being environmentally aware. We need to move away from disposable products as they are not really disposable, they can take up to 600 years to disintegrate and even then they just turn into microscopic pieces of plastic. These prices end up in our rivers and oceans and get eaten by the fishes and birds. They are killing the animals due to the fact that these animals cannot process plastic and the plastic stays in their stomachs. More and more plastic ends up killing these animals and it's all our fault. So we need to be part of the change and not the problem.
If we stop buying these products then we can start changing the world. We start forcing big companies to take note and start creating products that don't kill the animals on this planet.
Choose an item that you use daily and find out if you can use something that does have plastic or harsh chemicals.
It is possible. You just have to trust that it's ok to let go of brands that you have used and change to different ones that help our planet.
Have you seen my post for an alternative Vicks?
What products do you use? Would you give up your favourite brand and move to a natural product?

The recorders
Stanesby Alto 440 Hz
Modeled after a Stanesby 408hz found in Geneva. Though Recorder players prefer to play at 415Hz because of the special tone color and sonority produced at this pitch, this 440 Hz model is a very worthy competitor to that of the original.
Well balanced, very responsive in the upper register and powerful in the lower, this is an instrument which is most enjoyable and easy to play.
The Recorder shown is made of Grenadilla.
Bressan alto 415 Hz
Modeled after a Recorder 405Hz made by Pierre Jaillard ( known as "Le Bressan") which is in the collection of Frans Bruggen.
This recorder has a broad color palate in all its registers and offers great expressive possibilities. It is the width of the bore that gives it a such an interesting sonority.
It is also available at the original pitch of 405Hz, as is the recorder shown here in flamed boxwood.
Denner Alto 415 Hz
Modeled after the original at the Royal College of Music in London.
More articulate than the Bressan and with a more flexible sonority, the personality of the Denner is in tune with its streamlined styling. An excellent choice for those who already have a Stanesby or a Bressan and who wish for additional variety in sound color.
Voice flute in D
Modeled after an original Bressan and modified to produce a pitch of 415Hz.
Lightweight and with a trim silhouette, this Recorder which I designed for ease of playing, has a special warmth of tone and a powerful bass.
I have also fashioned the same instrument at 440Hz. This exceptional Recorder combines the roundness of a Voice Flute with the response of an Alto Recorder.
Baroque Soprano 415 Hz
Modeled after an Ivory Recorder by Stanesby Junior.
A Recorder with a sweet and elegant sound, very well suited to the performance of concertos by Baston Woodcock and Sammartini among others.
Handfluyt "Van Eyck"
There is no certainty about the design of the Recorder used in the Seventeenth Century. However, precise information found in Jacob Van Eyck's treatise, tells us that this Recorder spanned two octaves and that it was agile in the upper register.
I offer a model using the old fingerings that has a wide conical bore resembling that of the transitional Recorder from the beginning of the century. It is available at 440 Hz and at 415 Hz.
The Rafi recorders
These Recorders which date to 1540 were produced at the Philharmonic Academy of Bologna. However, their tessitura and the form of the bore suggest a much later instrument which can be used for Seventeenth Century music.
My Rafi Recorders use the old (English) fingerings, are very comfortable, and easy to play in the upper register. At 440Hz, they span two octaves and can be played as solo instruments or in Consort.
The Recorders shown are made of Palissander with gold plated rings.
Ganassi Alto 440 Hz
This Recorder is available at 466, 440 or 415 Hz.
The treatise "La Fontegara" of Sylvestro Ganassi gives a table of fingerings for a Recorder spanning two and a half octaves though this tessitura is not completely used in his diminutions.
The only bore that might correspond to this one is found in Vienna.
The Ganassi Recorder is very captivating: rich in timbre, precise in its attacks, powerful and dynamic, colorful in the lower register and subtle in the upper.

New Asian casino destinations continue to emerge and expand their gambling options. The historical rhetoric of being a panacea to economic and tourism woes continues to dominant decades later. Yet the excessive regulatory environments and taxation regimes by authorities on the casino industry are unlike those applied to other destination tourism products. Once the domain of the United States in the 1990s with entertainment capitals such as Las Vegas and Atlantic City, the proliferation of legalised casino gaming is now accentuated in Asia in destinations such as Macao, Korea, Singapore and the Philippines. As a tourism product, this article highlights that the arguments for and against casinos are narrowly embedded in social and economic influences, with a limited emphasis on a broader holistic approach on the implications on overall tourism management and development. Observations to date suggest greater prominence and participation by Asia's NTOs (National Tourism Offices) and DMOs (Destination Management Companies) are needed on the future of the casino's role within the tourism system and destination master plan and vision.

Big Tech's dominance: only laws can limit its power
Blogs | Press mentions | Open internet and inclusive technology | Privacy and data protection | Online tracking industry / AdTech | Platform regulation | Privacy and confidentiality
Big Tech companies like Facebook have grown so large that the U.S. antitrust authority F.T.C. is considering breaking them up. We need laws that limit the power tech firms wields over our lives.
Designed by: EFF/ (CC BY 2.0)
The article was first published on Thomson Reuters Foundation News.
"The original idea of the web was that it should be a collaborative space where you can communicate through sharing information," Tim Berners-Lee, one of the internet's pioneers, once said. The decentralised architecture of the original internet enabled considerable socio-economic benefits: low costs of innovation, flexible ways to adapt existing technology for new services, and freedom of choice for every participant.
Today the collaborative space invented by Berners-Lee seems like a distant dream.
Fast forward 15 years and hyper-centralised platform companies have swallowed more and more parts of this once independent network.
Google's tracking tools are embedded in over 75 per cent of the 80,000 most popular websites.
Facebook pays mobile internet providers to give their customers 'free' access to Facebook's own platforms but nothing else.
Amazon hosts the majority of the world's cloud services from Netflix to the U.S. Army's computer systems.
Most Big Tech companies have grown to veritable conglomerates that are so large that even the U.S. antitrust authority F.T.C. is currently considering to break them up.
They have grown by privatising the benefits they obtained from public funding. As a result virtually everyone with an internet access is forced to use Big Tech services. Even those who purposefully try not to feed Silicon Valley's databases cannot escape its reach.
As platform companies grew, their business models solidified towards data collection for behavioural advertising and targeted manipulation.
Today, companies such as Facebook allow anyone with enough money to target messages to users anywhere based on the vast amounts of knowledge that the company possesses.
In this brave new world, we have become the product. Our lives and most intimate moments are commodified and put up for sale to the highest bidder.
Big Tech conglomerates have built as many artificial roadblocks as possible to trick people into staying on their platforms. The sheer volume of users creates an invisible lock-in effect so that even those who want to leave won't—for fear of losing connections. Even if people do leave these dominant platforms, many of them simply switch to another Big Tech platform.
As a result, most of what we do online is mediated by a handful of private companies that cater to billions of users and exert fine-grained corporate influence over our digital lives. They decide what we can and cannot say, they control our devices, and they have the power to take away our fundamental rights.
There are several ideas for solving these problems: Breaking up Big Tech into smaller companies, making them legally liable for their users' harmful online behaviour, and pressuring them to deploy algorithms that evaluate the legality of content (spoiler: algorithms do a pretty terrible job at this).
None of these however solve the underlying problem: that these corporations have the wrong incentives at heart. It is in YouTube's business interest to show us divisive videos because it keeps people's attention. It is profitable for Facebook to offer people in the Global South 'free' access to Facebook because it discourages people from consulting alternatives. It is Apple's prerogative to minimise user freedom on iPhones that limit access to competing services.
If we want to see true change in the platform economy incentives need to change.
The first step that any useful laws around platform regulation must take is to prohibit manipulative business models. The EU should also drastically limit or ban the use of intrusive personal data to target people with online advertising.
The second step is to give people real choices by forcing dominant platforms to open up their systems to users of competing platforms. This would enable users of Mastodon for example – an open source alternative to Twitter – to be able to interact with friends on Facebook, without opening a Facebook account. This kind of mandatory interoperability for digital gatekeepers would reduce the artificial lock-in effects put in place to ward off competition. It would help create new markets for European digital services that operate on top of existing platforms. Better yet, it would finally provide ethical and privacy respecting alternatives.
Europe must not be hoodwinked into simply mitigating the damage created by broken business models. Rather, Europe needs laws that effectively limit the power that Big Tech wields over our lives. Laws that empower people to take back control and choose platforms that meet their needs. The EU's upcoming Digital Services Act and Digital Market Act have the potential to deliver this vision of a better internet that serves us all.
This is the internet we want.

Trump responds to Iranian attacks: 'All is well!'
US President Donald Trump speaks during a meeting with Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington, DC, January 7, 2020.

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump has responded to Tuesday night's attack by Iran on US and coalition forces stationed at bases in Iraq.
"All is well! Missiles launched from Iran at two military bases located in Iraq," Trump tweeted. "Assessment of casualties & damages taking place now. So far, so good! We have the most powerful and well equipped military anywhere in the world, by far! I will be making a statement tomorrow morning."
Shortly after 5 p.m. on Tuesday, Iran launched more than a dozen ballistic missiles against U.S. military and coalition forces in Iraq. It was not immediately clear if any U.S. service members were hurt in the strikes.
The reassuring tone of Trump's tweet marked an unexpected shift away from the harsh rhetoric the president has used in recent days to characterize tensions with Iran, which escalated following a U.S. strike that killed Iranian General Qasem Soleimani.
Hours before the Tuesday night attacks, Trump told reporters at the White House that "if Iran does anything that they shouldn't be doing, they're going to be suffering the consequences and very strongly."
Trump also said the United States was "totally prepared" for Iran to retaliate, and "we're prepared to attack if we have to as retribution."
U.S. stock futures plunged on Tuesday night on news of the Iranian offensive.
Trump spent part of Tuesday night meeting with top advisers at the White House about the attacks, including Vice President Mike Pence, Secretary of Defense Mark Esper, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Army Gen. Mark Milley.
READ ALSO The EU is backing taxi app Bolt to help it compete with Uber
Both the Pentagon and the Iranian government were unequivocal about who was behind the attacks. "It is clear that these missiles were launched from Iran and targeted at least two Iraqi military bases hosting U.S. military and coalition personnel at Al-Assad and Irbil," a Pentagon spokesman said soon after the attacks.
Iran's foreign minister, Javad Zarif, said in a tweet late Tuesday that Iran "took & concluded proportionate measures in self-defense."
Zarif added, "We do not seek escalation or war, but will defend ourselves against any aggression."

Chlorhexidine is a broad-spectrum biocide effective against Gram-positive bacteria, Gram-negative bacteria and fungi. Chlorhexidine inactivates microorganisms with a broader spectrum than other antimicrobials (e.g. antibiotics) and has a quicker kill rate than other antimicrobials (e.g. povidone-iodine).1 It has both bacteriostatic (inhibits bacterial growth) and bactericidal (kills bacteria) mechanisms of action, depending on its concentration. Chlorhexidine kills by disrupting the cell membrane.22 Upon application in vitro, chlorhexidine can kill nearly 100% of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria within 30 seconds.10 Since chlorhexidine formulations can destroy the majority of categories of microbes, there is limited risk for the development of an opportunistic infections.
In topical applications, chlorhexidine is shown to have the unique ability to bind to the proteins present in human tissues such as skin and mucous membranes with limited systemic or bodily absorption.24 Protein bound chlorhexidine releases slowly leading to prolonged activity. This phenomenon is known as substantivity6 and allows for a longer duration of antimicrobial action against a broad spectrum of bacteria and fungi.
Chlorhexidine has also been applied to medical devices such as dental implants, vascular catheters, needleless connectors and antimicrobial dressings. Chlorhexidine, when applied to or impregnated in medical devices kills organisms and protects against microbial colonization and subsequently biofilm development.

Caps beat Canes 5-1, Cody Eakin Scores First NHL Goal
Photo credit: Gerry Broome
The Washington Capitals last met the Carolina Hurricanes at home for the first game of the season. That game established the 2011-12 Caps as the scoring force we've been waiting for. Tonight was more of the same. More delightful, delightful same.
Right after the faceoff, Anthony Stewart redirected a Jay Harrison shot that Neuvirth wasn't ready for. Jeff Halpern dove for his goal in the second. Soon after, Marcus Johansson provided a gorgeous saucer to Troy Brouwer, who scored effortlessly. John Carlson slapped a big one home on the power play. Cody Eakin scoared his first NHL goal halfway through the third thanks to a smart pass from Alex Semin. Alex Ovechkin slid the puck gracefully to points-leader Nick Backstrom, who executed the layup. Caps beats Canes 5-1.

Carolina Hurricanes Pregame: Chad LaRose, Tomas Karberle, and Mayberry

Editor's note: Doug Johnson of Puck Buddys writes for RMNB. Tweet at his face.
The Post-Mortem: So, everyone happy? At least those with Ward and Backstrom shirseys? Luv U Caps, but we're tired of writing the "Tale of Two Caps" (See: Hassett, Peter) – you know, the bedraggled guttersnipes everyone wrote off after the 1st period who then come back to show their true mettlel? Memo to Bruce Boudreau and team: We don't need drama. We don't want drama. Please, enough of the plucky comebacks by the adorable yet overlooked (*cough Nicky cough Greenie*) boy heros. Dickens did it before, and better. (Although, Coach, you'd make a memorable Fezziwig). Memo to Ovi: "In addition to Russian, we're learning how to lip read. And then we'll learn how to lip read Russian. быть осторожным!
The Caps had a couple of busy days off after the Ducks game. While Ovi was managing 'Bench-gate,' Brooksie, Sasha, and Coach Woods visited the Kent Gardens Elementary for a hockey clinic in the school gym. They had Air Slapshot in tow – if 'tow' is the right word to describe dragging along an inflatable mascot (which looked like it had become untethered from a Pink Floyd show). The video and the pics from the day were adorable. However, reports from our McLean bureau (and the school nurse's office) tell a different story – three school kids ended up on the wrong end of some O zone penalties. Neither the players or coach addressed 'Stick-gate,' but Sasha was heard muttering something in Russian ("Чувствительная кожа"), as he was hurried away from school grounds.

Evgeny Kuznetsov Fancily Scores and Assists in Traktor's 8-2 Win Over Neftekhimik; Held Scoreless Against Ak Bars
Kuznetsov's goal against Neftekhimik comes at the 1:00 mark — his assist immediately thereafter. He also has a breakaway attempt at 2:05.
In a Kharlamov Division match-up Monday, the KHL's Traktor Chelyabinsk destroyed Neftekhimik Nizhnekamsk (how do you even say that?) 8-2, their biggest win of the season. The Petrochemists, whose defense might as well have been staffed by actual scientists, had no answer for Caps prospect Evgeny Kuznetsov. Kuzya scored his tenth goal of the season — the game's deciding tally — on a beautiful wraparound to put Traktor up 3-0 in the first period. Also, he fancily went behind the back to assist on Andrei Popov's goal from the slot.

Catching Up With Former Capital Andrew Gordon
Photo credit: Kyle Mace
Andrew Gordon won two Calder Cups with the American Hockey League's Hershey Bears in four seasons. He played nine games with Washington last season, scoring his first career NHL goal on future hall of famer Martin Brodeur, a feat he celebrated by kissing assister Marcus Johansson on the bench. But Andrew left the organization over the summer to hazard the free market. After a promising performance at Anaheim's training camp, Gordon was added to the team's roster (and then cheated on us in Finland with another blog).
I caught up with the notoriously well-spoken Andrew Gordon after the Ducks' painful 5-4 overtime loss to the Capitals on Tuesday. We talked about California weather, competing against his former teammates, and the enduring adoration of Washington's fans.

Caps beats Ducks 5-4 (OT), Nick Backstrom is Crazy Good
Pot roast. (Photo credit: Mitchell Layton)
The Washington Capitals had only one date with the Anaheim Ducks on the calendar this year, so they played it like two totally different teams. The Caps of the first half hour were disorganized and besieged. The Caps of the second half hour were focused and buzzing. A hole was dug by the former and filled in by the latter.
Saku Koivu siezed on bad communication between Wideman and Hamrlik to score the game's first goal. Teemu Selanne took a pass from Koivu for a lay up goal to make it 2-0. Selanne notched another one in the second period, thanks for some more bad defense and a weak-side pass. Joel Ward got the Caps on board with a close wrister that went five-hole. Dennis Wideman capitalized (puns!) on a scrambling Hiller, slapping home a goal making it 3-2. Corey Perry took a couple swats at a loose puck in the paint to make it 4-2. Troy Brouwer's shot gave Hiller trouble and kept the game interesting. With six attackers and less than a minute remaining, Nick Backstrom made the net quiver. Tie game. 4-on-4 overtime, where Backstrom struck again by slapping a bouncing puck into a gaping net. Game over! Caps beat Ducks 5-4 (OT).
Happy Halloween from RMNB and Our Readers
Sheepvechkin! (Illustration by Rachel Cohen)
Today is Halloween, which for me means less than one month until my birthday! Yay! Oh wait — I mean, dressing up, eating candy, and looking like a tool. To celebrate the holiday right, we figured we'd do a Halloween-themed post.
I'll be honest: when I heard Chris Gordon's demand to solicit Caps-themed jack-o-lanterns, I thought we'd get maybe four images and this post would be a total disaster. Three days and 50 emails later, holy lord did you guys come through in a BIG way. (I guess that's why he contributes to the New York Times, and I don't.)
We've got Caps logos, we've got Ovi heads, and we've got 10 million Weagle-carved pumpkins. Follow me past the jump to check out the gallery.
Oh yeah. Homeowners, please remember: the more Mr. Big bars you give out to the kids tonight, the more goals Ovechkin will score on Tuesday. So don't be stingy. And kids, show no restraint in eating your candy when you get home. Sugar is good for you, no matter what your parents say. Eat it all in one night. Dive into those Kit-Kats and Milky Ways like Alex Ovechkin dives into the boards after scoaring. Type II diabetes be damned.
Photos: Braden Holtby's New Roller Coaster Themed Mask
All photos by Kyle Mace. Click to enlarge.
We heard from reader Matthew W. that Braden Holtby got a new mask this week. Until today, all we had were blurry, long-distance cell phone pictures, but now we've got pics from Kyle Mace (of our sister blog Sweetest Hockey On Earth) taken during warm-ups of the Bears/Senators game.
The front of the mask features a bear on a roller coaster (either a reference to Hersheypark or his turbulent offseason) and the Capitals Weagle logo. The back features the flags of Saskatchewan and Alberta (Holtby's home); the Japanese symbol meaning "Constant Improvement," the words "Carpe Diem", and the Hershey Bears logo.
Below the jump, check out Kyle's hi-res images of Braden's sweet new headgear. And thanks to Holtby for unknowingly being such a great model.
Canucks beat Caps 7-4, Get Out of America's Hat ASAP
Photo credit: Jonathan Hayward
The Washington Capitals ended their expedition through Western Canadia with a game against the Vancouver Canucks. These being the two most offensively potent teams of the last two seasons, the Saturday night bout had the rapt attention of all of Canada and the five or six D.C.-area fans who didn't get invited to Halloween parties (e.g. us).
Tomas Vokoun left the net to play the puck, but retreated back just in time for Maxim LaPierre to bank it off his skates and into the net. Alex Ovechkin returned fire with a swat that rolled behind Roberto Loungo's tuchas. On the power play, Christopher Higgins had all night to shoot, grab a rebound, and shoot again. Alexander Edler zeroed in on the net early into a power play to make it 3-1. Alex Ovechkin fired a laser pew pew pew on the power play. Mike Knuble put enough stank on his penalty shot for it to wobble past the goalie– tie game.. Edler struck again, one-timing from wide open after a pass from one of the Sedin twins. Marcus Johansson seized on a bad Canucks line change to beat Luongo and tie the game.
Then Alex Ovechkin committed interference, and it all went to hell.
Relief goalie Michal Neuvirth bobbled the puck to give Henrik Sedin for an easy tip-in. Soon after, Chris Higgins skated past a wiped-out Sean Collins to give Canucks a two-goal lead. Maxim LaPierre's semi-breakaway made it a three-goal lead. Canucks beat Caps 7-4.
Vancouver Canucks Pregame: Creepy Twins, Sad Goalie, and Stupid Old Canada Part II
You know the deal: Doug Johnson. Puck Buddys. Twitter.
The Puck Drop: Well, that was unpleasant, Caps.
That "nervous feeling" we had? A little too much rest, a little too little regard for the opponent? That, combining with a too many penalties, snapped our garters and our streak. Lookie here, Canada: we tried being nice, and you had to go and dump all over our parade. We obviously need to approach this in a different way.
The Set Up: If you're anything like us – and frankly, what are the chances of that? – you've always had a secret crush on Vancouver. It's like Portland, but with less smug. And more Olympics. So we were seriously pulling for the Canucks to smear Boston's smelly faces all over the ice last June, which they didn't. (They did sort of try to riot, however, which was really very cute.) But now it's different. City-crush be darned; we want the Canucks, and we want to break them, especially after that Edmonton nonsense with the Jonas Brothers Line, and that brick-wall Japanese netminder of theirs, Kabuki something.
And we just might get them. From last year's highs the Canucks have fallen… well, not to new lows, but certainly somewhere in the mid-level yawns. 4-5-1 is not the start of a championship season. Pucks on net seems to be the biggest problem; in only 10 games so far they've been shut out three times. So….
So About Those Penalties…
NOT PICTURED: Officials Stephane Auger and Dan O'Halloran acknowledge the crowd after being named the first stars of the night. (Photo credit: Andy Devlin)
It was a ridiculous night in sports: Winnipeg beat the Flyers 9-8, P.K. Subban dropped the gloves (and almost kayoes himself), and David Freese of the St. Louis Cardinals hit a walk-off homer to force a Game 7 in the World Series.
So when the Capitals were whistled for NINE penalties in two periods of play (four in the first, five in the second), it kinda went with the theme of the evening. One of those penalties, a Troy Brouwer hook, led to Edmonton's game-winning goal. Goodbye, 82-0 season. Haha.
"You have to adjust when you're out there," a remarkably calm Bruce Boudreau explained after the game. "You have to know who the ref is. If they're calling it loose… okay. But if they're calling every little thing, it's up to the players to be able to adjust to it. In the rulebook, they're penalties. Some people call it. Some people don't. You get to know pretty early if they're calling it and who's going to call what."
Sure, I guess. Well, with the power of photo and video, let's take a closer look at some of Auger and O'Halloran's — um, brilliant — work from last night.

Are Advertisers Wasting Their Money?
posted 3 Dec 2010, 05:25 by Mpelembe [ updated 3 Dec 2010, 05:27 ]
A majority of Americans say they ignore Internet ads the most; others say so for television, radio and newspaper ads
NEW YORK, Dec. 3, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Although the digital space is considered to be a great place to target and reach consumers, when adults were asked which type of ads do they tend to ignore or disregard the most, over six in ten say Internet ads (63%). Among those who ignore Internet ads, two in five say they ignore banner ads (43%) the most and one in five say they ignore search engine ads (20%) the most. Smaller percentages say they ignore television ads (14%), radio ads (7%) and newspaper ads (6%); just 9% of Americans say they don't ignore any of the listed types of ads.
These are some of the findings of a new Adweek Media/ Harris Poll, survey of 2,098 U.S. adults surveyed online between October 5 and 7, 2010 by Harris Interactive.
While we know that certain advertising themes appeal to men and women differently, there is little difference in the ads that men and women say they tend to ignore the most. Two in five of both men (42%) and women (45%) say they ignore Internet banner ads the most, one in five say they ignore Internet search engine ads (20% and 21% respectively), while somewhat fewer say so about television ads (15% and 13%), radio ads (7% and 8%), and newspaper ads (6% and 5%).
Differences by Age
While there are few gender differences, there are interesting variations when this question is looked at by age. Older Americans say they ignore ads on TV the most -- one in five of those 55 years and older say they ignore TV ads (20%), compared to 14% of those 45-54 years, 13% of those 35-44 years, and just 9% of those 18-34 years. Conversely, younger Americans are more likely than those older to ignore radio ads the most (11% of those 18-34 years do, compared to 6% of those 55 years and older). Also, while over two in five in all age groups say they ignore Internet banner ads the most, those aged 35-44 are most likely to say this, as almost half ignore these ads (47%) compared to between 42% and 43% of the other age groups.
Differences by Education
Those who have more education are more likely to ignore online advertisements -- 46% of both those who have some college and those who are college graduates say they ignore banner ads, compared to just 40% of those who have a high school degree or less. One-quarter (23%) of those who have graduated from college say they ignore search engine ads, compared to 17% who have a high school or less education. Those with a high school or less education, however, are more likely to ignore television ads (17% versus 12% of those who have gone to college).
Although almost all Americans say they ignore some ads (91%), this does not mean it's a lost cause for advertisers. Rather, companies looking to effectively reach consumers may just need to educate themselves and tailor their messages – as well as their chosen medium – to best appeal to the desired group.
ADS PEOPLE IGNORE

Note: Pe rcentages may not add up to 100% due to rounding
This Adweek Media/Harris Poll was conducted online within the United States between October 5 and 7, 2010 among 2,098 adults (aged 18 and over). Figures for age, sex, race/ethnicity, education, region and household income were weighted where necessary to bring them into line with their actual proportions in the population. Where appropriate, this data were also weighted to reflect the composition of the adult online population. Propensity score weighting was also used to adjust for respondents' propensity to be online.
All sample surveys and polls, whether or not they use probability sampling, are subject to multiple sources of error which are most often not possible to quantify or estimate, including sampling error, coverage error, error associated with nonresponse, error associated with question wording and response options, and post-survey weighting and adjustments. Therefore, Harris Interactive avoids the words "margin of error" as they are misleading. All that can be calculated are different possible sampling errors with different probabilities for pure, unweighted, random samples with 100% response rates. These are only theoretical because no published polls come close to this ideal.
Respondents for this survey were selected from among those who have agreed to participate in Harris Interactive surveys. The data have been weighted to reflect the composition of the adult population. Because the sample is based on those who agreed to participate in the Harris Interactive panel, no estimates of theoretical sampling error can be calculated.
These statements conform to the principles of disclosure of the National Council on Public Polls.
The results of this Harris Poll may not be used in advertising, marketing or promotion without the prior written permission of Harris Interactive.

May 05, 2011 in "graffiti", "visual arts"
MOCA's Art in the Streets is running from April 17-August 8, 2011.
With the avalanche of end of term activity, I did not want to neglect reflecting on the very high profile and already controversial first major museum survey of graffiti and street art which opened at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles on April 17th. Tracing the emergence and development of a visual form previously excluded from the art historical canon as either too amateur, too political, or more within the realm of vandalism and/or popular culture, the exhibition simply titled "Art in the Streets" was met with the kind of red carpet treatment and hype already rehearsed in those infamous scenes of Banksy's Exit Through the Gift Shop. All the glitterati and requisite celebrities were there—just see this link for a taste—and within days it was already being reported that investment banker types were being toured around the show in organized tours. Quel surprise.
ARTINFO: It seems like you're utilizing a very aged aesthetic, or one of accumulation, or an aesthetic related to Russian propaganda posters. But the age factor is something I've been thinking about a lot, and I think that with the age of the Internet accelerating our daily lives that artists have become interested in aestheticizing their work in an antiquated way to state a resistance to this increasingly fast pace.
FAIREY: Textures have had an appeal to me before the existence of the Internet. The moment I started liking street art and graffiti I noticed the accumulation of communications on surfaces. There's this idea that there were generations of people that could make a statement that could be seen on one wall. That's something that appealed to me about outdoor work, but it was something that just by that applying my work outdoors I was able to imbue it with that sensibility. In the gallery that idea of accumulation of messages and experiences was more difficult to translate as well as what I think is the very organic and interactive appeal of those kinds of surfaces. You don't have that in the gallery as much, so I tried to create it. But it's funny you'd mention the Internet as most people are consuming their media on a 72dpi screen. The surface is not seductive in and of itself and there isn't as much of a sense of history. A lot of it is about scrolling down a blog and whatever scrolled off the end of the page is gone and old news. It's catering to a short attention span. My work has been about things making an impact on me: this art, this musician, this philosopher, this political theorist, et cetera. I like to try to represent that in a sense in both the content and references of the work and also the surface itself.
To this end, new generation of artists are attempting to find and even map the potential where links between an urban art of street surfaces can connect with the new and uncharted world of cyber-graffiti and Internet hacktivism. Artist Daniel Feral's update to Alfred Barr's 1935 map of the development of abstract (see image at top of post) is quite convincing in its trajectory. And even though Fairey might be nostalgic for the textures of the material world, it is clear that the future of street and graffiti art owes much of its potential growth to the world of digital media. That said, the speculation in the street art market together with profits being made at the expense of the form's message remains deeply troubling and might signal a backlash if valuations for the market unexpectedly fall. "It might take a decade or it might take a summer but the Street Art market will be pushed over a cliff" writes art critic Mat Gleason in a revealing article for Huffington Post. If this is indeed the case, I wonder, what will be the lasting legacy of this most misunderstood visual art form?
