Die im oberen Jonental gelegene Gemeinde besteht aus den Dörfern Hausen am Albis und Ebertswil sowie den Weilern Türlen, Vollenweid, Tüfenbach, Hinter-, Mittel- und Oberalbis, Husertal, Hirzwangen und Schweikhof. Das Einzugsgebiet der Gemeinde erstreckt sich von Sihlbrugg bis zum Türlersee. Damit ist Hausen am Albis mit insgesamt 13,64 km² flächenmässig die grösste Gemeinde im Bezirk. Der höchste Punkt der Gemeinde liegt auf  (Bürglen), der tiefste Punkt auf  (Sihlbrugg). Hausen am Albis liegt zwischen den Städten Zürich und Zug.

Ortsteile und Weiler

Heisch
Heisch ist ein Ortsteil, der heute mit Hausen zusammengewachsen ist. Er liegt zirka einen Kilometer westlich vom Dorfzentrum und wird in Ober- und Unterheisch unterteilt. Die Grenze zwischen den Dorfteilen Heisch und Hausen verläuft ungefähr bei der ehemaligen Sennerei (heutiger Druckereibetrieb).

Ebertswil
Ebertswil liegt im Süden der Gemeinde, zirka zwei Kilometer vom Dorfzentrum entfernt und zählte mit Stand: 31. Dezember 2007 667 Einwohner.
Die Lage des Ortes auf einem leicht erhöhten Plateau erlaubt eine weite Sicht auf den Kanton Zug mit dem Zugersee und in die Schweizer Alpen. Direkt in südlicher Richtung sieht man die Rigi und rechts davon den Pilatus. Dazwischen stehen bekannte Berge wie Eiger, Mönch und Jungfrau.

Sihlbrugg
Sihlbrugg, das noch zu drei anderen Gemeinden gehört, ist der südlichste Weiler der Gemeinde. Der Hausemer Anteil zählte 2007 11 Einwohner.

Husertal
Der Weiler Husertal liegt am Südwestfuss des Albishorns östlich von Hausen am Albis, zwischen dem Weilern Oberalbis, Schweikhof und dem Dorf Ebertswil. Der Weiler zählte 50 Einwohner im Jahr 2000.

Türlen
Türlen liegt am Türlersee und ist zirka drei Kilometer vom Dorfzentrum entfernt.

Geschichte

Herrschaftsverhältnisse im Mittelalter
Hausen am Albis wurde im Jahre 869 erstmals als Huson urkundlich erwähnt, der heutige Ortsteil Heisch 1184 als Heinsche. Die Herren über Hausen waren während dieser Zeit die Freiherren von Eschenbach; sie waren es auch, die 1150 die Schnabelburg auf dem Albisgrat errichteten und 1185 die Zisterzienserabtei Kappel stifteten. 1309 wurde ihre Herrschaft durch die Zerstörung der Schnabelburg beendet, weil Walther von Eschenbach an der Ermordung von König Albrecht beteiligt war. Die Folge war, dass Hausen am Albis den Hallwylern unterstellt wurde, welche es 1406 der Stadt Zürich abtraten.

Reformation
Das Kloster Kappel schloss sich unter Abt Wolfgang Joner sehr früh der Reformation Zwinglis an. Unter diesem Einfluss und um den drückenden Kirchenabgaben zu entgehen, schlugen sich auch die Hausemer auf die Seite der Reformierten. 1527 wurde Hausen selbständige Kirchgemeinde.

In der Schlacht bei Kappel am 11. Oktober 1531 fielen an der Seite von Huldrych Zwingli auch neun Mitstreiter aus Hausen. Adam Näf aus der Vollenweid rettete das Zürcher Banner und erhielt dafür von der Stadt Zürich das «Näfenhaus» in Kappel als Lehen. Der «Milchsuppenstein» (Kappeler Milchsuppe) an der Gemeindegrenze und das Zwinglidenkmal auf Gemeindegebiet Kappel erinnern an diese Kriegswirren.

Industrialisierung
1825 gründete Jakob Zürrer eine Ferggerei und beschäftigte bis zu 700 Seidenweber und -weberinnen in Heimarbeit. Seine Söhne Emil und Theophil führten die mechanische Seidenweberei ein, die mit der Zeit die Heimarbeit verdrängte. Das Unternehmen Weisbrod-Zürrer AG musste 2011 die Seidenweberei einstellen, ist jedoch weiterhin in Hausen am Albis ansässig.

Wappen

Das Wappen von Hausen ist redend und zeigt ein Riegelhaus im blauen Feld.
Krauer (um 1860) zeigte ein perspektivisch gezeichnetes Riegelhaus, später, von etwa 1884 bis 1928, zeigten amtliche Drucksachen ein realistisch gezeichnetes Haus auf grünem Grund mit rauchendem Kamin und Lukarne in der ziegelgedeckten Dachfläche und mit einer Laube an der Traufseite.
Die Zürcher Wappenkommission versuchte 1928 erfolglos, der Gemeinde das perspektivische Haus als «unheraldisch» auszureden. Bei der Annahme des offiziellen Wappens am 26. Januar 1929 hielt der Gemeinderat am perspektivisch gezeichneten Haus fest, willigte aber ein, den grünen Grund und die Laube wegzulassen.
Die von der Wappenkommission 1929 publizierte Postkarte zeigte das Haus dann noch
perspektivisch, mit rotem Fachwerk und mit grünen Fensterläden, mit der Blasonierung
 In Blau ein silbernes Haus mit roten Riegeln und rotem Dach.
Das Wappenbuch von 1977 sollte die Gemeindewappen sanft modernisiert und in einheitlichem Stil zusammenführen. Hier wird das Hausemer Wappen nun nicht mehr perspektivisch gezeichnet und erscheint mit der viel genaueren Blasonierung
 In Blau ein Riegelhaus in Traufsicht mit silbernem Sockel und Mauerwerk, rotem Dach und Gebälk, rechts zwei schwarzen Fenstern, links über schwarzem Kellereingang und Treppe schwarzer Türe und rechts aufgesetztem silbernem Kamin.
Der Entwurf von 1977 hat sich nicht durchgesetzt, die Gemeinde verwendete bis 2015 weiter die perspektivische Form von 1929.
Seit 2016 hat die Gemeinde auf ihrer Website stark stilisierte Form des Wappens verwendet, die grünen Fensterläden sind verschwunden, aber das Haus ist immer noch eindeutig perspektivisch gezeichnet, Drucksachen der Gemeinden verwendeten aber noch 2019 mindestens teilweise die Form von 1929.

Bevölkerung

 Bevölkerungsdichte: 245.8 Einw./km²
 Konfessionszugehörigkeit: 42,9 % evangelisch-reformiert, 29,4 % römisch-katholisch, 27,7 % andere oder keine konfessionelle Zugehörigkeit (Stand: 2010)

Sehenswürdigkeiten

In Hausen gibt es zwei Kirchen:

 Die reformierte Kirche wurde im Jahr 1751 errichtet. An gleicher Stelle hatte zunächst eine romanische Kirche gestanden, welche vor 1250 erbaut worden war, gefolgt von einem zweiten Kirchbau aus dem Jahr 1491.
 Die katholische Kirche Herz Jesu stammt aus dem Jahr 1977. Der Vorgängerbau war eine Kapelle aus dem Jahr 1910. Im Turm hängt die 1499 gegossene Marienglocke, welche bis ins Jahr 1905 im Glockenturm der reformierten Kirche gehangen hatte.

Albisbrunn

Die Kaltwasser-Heilanstalt Albisbrunn wurde 1839 vom Winterthurer Arzt Christoph Zacharias Wilhelm Brunner gegründet. Eine am Albishang entdeckte Quelle diente für verschiedene Behandlungen und Therapien mit «gutem Wasser». Empfohlen wurden auch Behandlungen von Erschöpfungen und Atemwegserkrankungen. Mit dem Kurbetrieb entstand ein vielfältiges gesellschaftliches Leben. Im Herbst 1851 verbrachte Richard Wagner zwei Monate im Albisbrunn, wo er Heilung von seinen Leiden (Gesichtsrose, Nesselfieber, chronische Darmverstimmungen) erhoffte. Hier entstand seine Konzeption zum Ring des Nibelungen.

Mangels Nachfrage ging der Kurbetrieb nach 1900 in einen reinen Hotelbetrieb über. 1924 errichtete Alfred Reinhart die Stiftung Landerziehungsheim Albisbrunn.

Lough v. Brunswick Corp.
86 F.3d 1113 (Fed. Cir. 1996)
United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit
Stephen Lough (plaintiff) was a repairman at a boat dealership in Florida. Lough noticed that for stern drives, a type of propulsion device for boats, the seal assembly often became corroded. In 1986, Lough designed a new seal assembly that would prevent corrosion and created six prototypes of this assembly. He used one of these prototypes for his own boat, gave away four others to friends, and he installed the final prototype in a customer's boat. Lough did not follow up with his friends to learn whether they were satisfied with his improved seal assembly or to get feedback of any kind, nor did he have further contact with his customer. More than a year after Lough gave out his prototypes, on June 6, 1988, he successfully applied for a patent for his seal assembly. Brunswick Corp. (Brunswick) (defendant) saw Lough's invention and redesigned its own stern-drive seal assembly accordingly. Brunswick then began selling boats featuring the new design. Lough sued Brunswick for patent infringement. Brunswick filed a counterclaim against Lough, seeking a declaratory judgment that Lough's patent was invalid or unenforceable. Brunswick argued that Lough's invention was in public use more than one year before Lough filed for his patent. The jury found for Lough and awarded Lough $1.5 million in lost profits. Brunswick moved for judgment as a matter of law, but the district court denied the motion. Brunswick appealed.

Nanjing, China, January 10, 2019 --(PR.com)-- Utilizing a Metal Injection Molding (MIM) process, FineMIM has developed and produced ultra thin integrally-molded metal fan blades for the laptops. This design allows for greater airflow, additional blades and a more aerodynamic airstream.
To improve the ability of laptops to keep hardware cool under normal operating conditions, the engineers designed a new fan that is made entirely of metal, with dozens of blades that measure just 0.15mm thick, which helps the laptop device to keep the temperature down while performing powerful gaming sessions. This ensures the efficiency of the thermal system and improves cooling power.
The Metal Fan is also extremely quiet, due to its thin smooth fan surface, which eliminates the pulsating sound and vibration caused by traditional plastic fan blades. At 4,000 RPM, this fan has a sound output less than 25 dBA (much quieter than soft whisper at one meter distance). The ultrathin, axial-inspired airflow design increases airflow a lot when compared with conventional plastic fans.
Metal Injection Molding (MIM) is an advanced metal forming technique that uses injection molding and sintering equipment for manufacturing both simple and complex metal parts to tight tolerance. FineMIM is a professional MIM solution provider in China for more than 12 years. Developed to fit small size electronic devices such as notebooks, mobile phone, and Intelligent locks, more small and complex metal parts are being manufactured by MIM process.

Huge changes to National Lottery rules from today
There are more changes coming - including a new draw
Neil ShawNetwork Content Editor (Live and Trends)
James Evans, 30, and his partner JoJo Smith, 28, from Romney Marsh in Kent, celebrate their £3 million National Lottery Scratchcard win
The National Lottery rules have been changed from today meaning your next draw will be different - with more changes planned for the coming months.
And Camelot is to launch a new game from the start of 2019 with thousands of pounds being handed out every month for the next 25 years.
Camelot UK Lotteries Ltd has announced new, bigger fixed-cash prizes in the main game including a £1million prize if you match five balls and the bonus number.
The number of roll-overs has also been slashed to five, meaning the jackpot will be won or shared out more often - this is half the number allowed previously.
Lottery ticket worth £73million has not been claimed
There are also going to be more special EuroMillions draws - but only one UK millionaire to be picked in each draw instead of two.
The move comes after an in-depth review of the draws.
Camelot CEO Nigel Railton said: "It was clear from the review that we needed to create a more appealing and balanced range of games that offers something for everyone. In particular, we needed to make our draw games stand out from each other and to give people the ability to play their way – with prizes, chances to win and prices to suit different tastes.
"The portfolio updates we are announcing today will complement the other initiatives we are bringing in across retail and digital, as well as our ongoing work to make The National Lottery brand more relevant and visible – and will ensure that The National Lottery as a whole continues to deliver for both players and Good Causes alike."
Under the refreshed draw games portfolio, there will be: a huge, rolling jackpot game (EuroMillions); a core millionaire-maker game (Lotto); a £1 value game with a top prize of £500,000 (Thunderball); and, subject to regulatory approval, a brand new annuity game, which is expected to launch in the spring of 2019 and which is expected to have a top prize of thousands of pounds every month for at least 25 years.
Lottery winner accused of faking £2.5m ticket is charged with fraud
The changes follow the launch of a new EuroMillions HotPicks game and the addition of an extra Thunderball draw day in January this year – both of which performed ahead of expectations and boosted returns to Good Causes in the last two months of the 2017/18 financial year.
Lotto changes in November 2018
Lotto is the UK's biggest-selling lottery game – with more than 10 million weekly players and millions of prizes awarded every week. However, the game has not performed as well as expected following changes in 2015. The strategic review also highlighted how, over time, Lotto had become too similar to EuroMillions, so a clear differentiation between the games was needed for The National Lottery's long-term health.
Camelot has listened to what players, non-players and retailers have said that they want to see from Lotto in the future – a prize fund that's more fairly shared, jackpots that will be won more frequently and bigger cash prizes at the other levels. As a result, from November, new bigger, fixed cash prizes in the main game will replace the raffle; the Lotto jackpot will be won or shared more often; and new 'Rolldowns' will see the jackpot shared across all of the winning cash prize tiers if no one matches all 6 main numbers in a must-be-won draw.
Cash boost helps town discover the history behind its historic buildings
There will be no change to the way people play Lotto – the price will stay at £2 per line and players will still pick 6 numbers from 59, so the odds will not change. This is because sales of the old £1, '6 from 49' Lotto game had been falling for a long time and so had the amount of money it was raising for Good Causes. Given that Camelot's overarching objective is to maximise returns to Good Causes, going back to a game that was in long-term decline was not a viable option.
The prize payout on Lotto will increase slightly and the prize money from the raffle – which currently comprises 1 x £1 million prize and 20 x £20,000 prizes in every draw – will now go into the main Lotto draw, resulting in bigger, fixed* cash prizes (apart from the jackpot):
From November

6 main numbers

5+Bonus Ball
£50,000 (estimated)
£1m (fixed)
£1.2m (estimated)
£1,000 (estimated)
£1,750 (fixed)
£100 (estimated)
£140 (fixed)
£25 (fixed)
Free Lotto Lucky Dip
In addition, once the Lotto jackpot rolls over five times, there will be a must-be-won draw on the sixth consecutive draw (this compares to around 10 rolls currently before it must be won). And millions more players will benefit if no one matches all 6 main numbers in a must-be-won draw because the jackpot will no longer go to a single prize tier (e.g. Match 5+Bonus). Instead, there will be a 'Rolldown' which will see the jackpot shared across all of the winning cash prize tiers (Match 5+Bonus, Match 5, Match 4 and Match 3), boosting each individual prize amount in the process. For example, the usual 100,000 Match 3 winners in a typical draw could see their prizes boosted from £30 to around £100 in a Rolldown situation, and the thousands of Match 4 winners could each scoop around £500 (up from a fixed prize of £140).
Camelot's retail partners, who continue to be vital to the long-term health of The National Lottery, are also set to benefit from the changes. In line with the company's ongoing £20 million investment in retail, National Lottery retailers across the UK will, for the first time, receive sales commission when a player claims a Match 2 free Lotto Lucky Dip prize in their store – resulting in an average annual commission boost of around £5 million.
EuroMillions (Early 2019):
With jackpots starting at £15 million and the potential to roll to a massive £168 million (€190 million), EuroMillions is The National Lottery's giant jackpot game. Sales of the game – and therefore the amount of money it raises for Good Causes – are driven by the big, rolling jackpots, as well as special draws in which multiple guaranteed £1 million UK winners are created (for example, 13 UK millionaires on Friday the 13th). These special draws build huge levels of player excitement and typically generate over 60% more in sales when compared with an equivalent draw, so are great from a Good Causes perspective.
79 millionaire lottery winners from Devon are revealed
From 2019, Camelot will run more of these special draws – and they will be bigger and better. For example, instead of 10 guaranteed UK millionaires created in a special draw, 30 guaranteed UK millionaires might be created. To help fund these bigger, more frequent special draws, Camelot will guarantee one UK millionaire in every draw instead of two. This change will come into effect early in the New Year and the prizes on the main game will remain exactly the same.
Offering a steady stream of guaranteed UK millionaires – two every week – as well as more frequent special draws will not only drive player participation; by reducing the prize payout slightly on EuroMillions, Camelot is also able to deliver even more money for Good Causes. The new format will kick off with a special 40 UK millionaires draw in the spring of 2019, with further big events to follow over the summer.
Annuity game (Spring 2019):
Subject to approval from its regulator, Camelot is currently finalising details for a brand new annuity game, which is expected to launch in the spring of 2019 and which will offer a regular, fixed amount of money for a set number of years.
As part of its extensive research, Camelot has been closely examining what is done in other countries where this type of game is hugely popular. Annuity games appeal to people who dream of lifelong financial security, rather than just big, one-off jackpots – so this will be an entirely new proposition to round off The National Lottery portfolio.
Student discovers her £53,000 debt could take her 30 years to pay back
As the game isn't due to launch until next year, the prizes on offer or the cost of play have not yet been finalised – but the early indication is that the top prize will be thousands of pounds every month for at least 25 years. Camelot will provide an update as soon as possible – and in line with the normal processes in the lead-up to the launch of a new game.

California Assembly dims Proposition 54's 'sunshine'
Los Angeles Daily News
The Los Angeles Daily News published this editorial on Dec. 15:
One problem with political reforms, of the sort approved from time to time by the California electorate, is that many of them have to be implemented by politicians.
Because elected officials often are the targets of those reforms, they're often less than forthright in carrying them out.
A fresh case in point is the fallout from Proposition 54, the state constitutional amendment passed by voters on Nov. 8 to bring new transparency to the legislative process.
Approved by nearly a 2 to 1 margin, Prop. 54 aimed mainly to stop the state Assembly and Senate from voting on a bill without first making it available to the public in print and online for at least 72 hours.
The general intent of the 72-hour rule was pretty clear: Keep legislators from ramming through new laws without giving interested members of the public and press, and the bill's potential opponents and supporters, a good chance to examine it and say it's good or bad or could use improvement.
Voters' specific expectation was pretty clear too: The new rule would apply to any vote on a non-emergency bill by either of the two houses of the Legislature in Sacramento, and would apply to either the first vote in the house where the bill originated or the second vote in the other house that sends it to the governor for a signature.
This was certainly the understanding of the good-government groups that backed Prop. 54, and the understanding of this editorial board when we endorsed it a month before the election.
Unfortunately, to take effect for the legislative session that began last week, the new rule had to be written into the houses' new operating rules by lawmakers themselves. Lawmakers who don't necessarily like the restrictions Prop. 54 calls for. Lawmakers who in many cases are lawyers, skilled at twisting words to suit their interests.
Seizing on the initiative's language saying the 72-hour rule applies to a bill "in its final form," Assembly members on Dec. 5 adopted rules that apply it only to the vote of the second house to act on a bill.
This means a bill authored by an Assembly member could be rushed to a vote of approval by the full Assembly, and that would be OK as long as the Senate then publishes it for 72 hours before voting to approve it and send it to the governor.
This is a clear bastardization of Prop. 54. Since the work of crafting a bill is usually done mostly in the house of origin, that's where the public should be allowed to exert its influence. Some bills are approved by the second house with little change, so the first house's version may for all intents be "in its final form."
Even the way the Assembly is reading it, Prop. 54 would help to fight legislators' end-of-session practice of adopting last-minute "gut-and-amend" bills, using the amendment process to put entirely new language into existing bills. But it would not accomplish all of what voters had in mind.
The lesson here is not that the public and civic-minded activists, like Prop. 54 sponsor Charles Munger, should give up on passing reforms. The lesson is that on top of legal reforms, good government requires elected officials who honor the will of the people.
Assembly members should revise their operating rules to give full force to the 72-hour rule. If they don't, Californians should remember it the next time we vote.

Sebastian Vettel: "This is a circuit where you can easily overshoot it"
By Hannah Ellis
Sebastien Vettel - Ferrari - Credit: Scuderia Ferrari
Sebastian Vettel felt the car was better than it was during practice but still found it impossible to keep up with the Silver Arrows. He finished qualifying in Bahrain third with a time of 1:29.247.
Rumours have been circulating for many races that Mercedes AMG Petronas Formula One Team have a special setting that they activate during the important bits of qualifying. This certainly looks likely as Vettel's Scuderia Ferrari was almost five tenths down.
Vettel believes that being aware of this deficit could have subconsciously coaxed him to have tried to hard, to over-drive, and thus be far from his best.
"Overall, it has been a good day," he said. "Yesterday I couldn't get the right feeling, I kept sliding too much.
"We made some minor tweaks on the set-up and the car felt better today, I was quite happy with the balance.
"But in qualifying, after seeing what the gap was at the end of my first run in Q3, I wasn't so happy, so I tried it all and maybe pushed a bit too much. This is a circuit where you can easily overshoot it.
It appears that the narrow margins are playing on the German's mind; it will be all eyes on his start as he tries to sneak ahead in the first corner. Vettel is certainly happy with the feel of car going into the race.
"Today, we were losing a bit everywhere around the lap, perhaps more than usual down the straights," he said. "But tomorrow it should be closer, and hopefully we'll have a tight race."

Chlorine gas sickens several at Illinois 'furries' convention, which is evacuated to nearby dog show

Thousands of people were evacuated after a chlorine gas leak at the hotel hosting the 2014 Midwest FurFest convention, where attendees dress as animals to celebrate art, literature and performance. Investigators believe the leak at the hotel in Rosemont was caused intentionally and are treating it as a criminal matter.
(Nam Y. Huh/The Associated Press)
ROSEMONT, Ill. — Chlorine gas sickened several people and forced the evacuation of thousands of guests from a suburban Chicago hotel early Sunday, including many dressed in cartoonish animal costumes for a "furries" convention who were ushered across the street to an events center hosting a dog show.
Nineteen people who became nauseated or dizzy were treated at hospitals, and at least 18 were released shortly after.
The source of the gas was apparently chlorine powder left in a ninth-floor stairwell at the Hyatt Regency O'Hare, according to the Rosemont Public Safety Department. Investigators believe the gas was created intentionally and are treating it as a criminal matter.
The hotel is hosting the 2014 Midwest FurFest convention, also called "Anthrocon," where attendees celebrate animals that are anthropomorphic — meaning they've been given human characteristics — through art, literature and performance. Many of the attendees, who refer to themselves as "furries," wore cartoonish animal outfits.
They said they come for fun but also for the spiritual and artistic aspects of the convention, during which they celebrate animal characters from movies, TV shows, comic books, video games and characters they create themselves. Anthrocon conventions typically draw thousands of participants from around the world, many dressed in costumes that they say can cost as much as $3,000.
Guests were allowed to return a few hours later after the hotel had been decontaminated, and by mid-morning the furries were pouring back into the hotel for more activities and chatting. They made their way to an outdoor courtyard, where they took part in a group exercise session, with foxes, dragons and other characters getting an aerobic workout.
"We ask you to continue to be patient, and remember that the volunteers who make Midwest FurFest happen intend to give 110 percent to make sure that the fun, friendship, and good times ... overshadow last night's unfortunate incident," organizers said in a statement posted on the group's website. Organizers declined to discuss the matter in person.
Pieter Van Hiel, a 40-year-old technical writer from Hamilton, Canada, said the conventions are about having fun with people who enjoy the same hobby.
"This is an intense weekend of socialization. It's kind of weird, but it's not weird here," said Van Hiel, who said he writes role-playing games for animals. He laughed as he described being herded out of the hotel and across the street to the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center: "There was a dog-grooming trade show going on and in walk all these people dressed like dogs and foxes."
The furries convention includes displays and vendors, an artists' show, cartoon and character-related presentations, dances and live performances. It draws artists, puppeteers, costume makers, writers and just plain fans.
"Everyone is from a different background," said Michael Lynch, a 25-year-old computer technician from Madison, Wisconsin. "Nobody judges anybody. It's nice to come to a place like that."
Dressed head-to-toe in a fox outfit, 35-year-old forklift operator Frederic Cesbron of France wanted to make one thing clear: "Nobody uses real fur."

Should we care about the human rights record of the country whose beaches we're about to bake ourselves on? That is the question posed by the latest issue of the Index on Censorship, which pokes a light into the murkier side of some popular tourist destinations. Mexico's drugs war and murder rate cast a shadow over its idyllic beaches; Sri Lanka has renewed powers to jail journalists; the Maldives has allowed radical Islam to flourish and democratic gains to wither.
A panel of travel journalists explored the ethics of travel journalism, and whether glossy, picture-led features should also mention a country's dirty laundry. The popular format of 'Ten Mexican resorts on a budget' was considered too narrow a format to get into such things. In the discussion that followed it emerged that the flowers and candles left in Valletta in memory of the assassinated Maltese journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia have been cleared away at least 12 times; the number of tourists visiting Turkey not fallen since President Erdogan has clamped down on press freedom; in Sri Lanka efforts to offer tourists the experience of life on a tea plantation backfired when the local press savaged an initiative whereby tourists could spend a night in the home of a poorly paid, marginalised tea picker.
One problem panellists identified was in challenging a deeply carved narrative. Picking tea is not romantic. If section editors (and fat-walleted advertisers) want sun and flip-flops then they won't want a piece complicated by mention of human rights abuses. Conversely, a section editor who believed Cambodia = genocide, an example cited by Harriet Fitch Little, was reluctant to hear how the country has stabilised over the last 20 years. Then there was the charge of "pink-washing", mentioned in relation to Tel Aviv – where a destination's self-promotion as gay-friendly distracts attention away from a complicated human rights record, in this instance Israel's in the Palestinian Territories.
Benji Lanyado, the male panellist, recommended using Airbnb and spending time chatting to locals to find out what they considered to be the big local issues. In many cultures this is far more straightforward and less risky if you are male. Sri Lankan-born Meera Selva added that offering to listen to someone's story can do more harm than good if you hear a tale of hardship, thank them and walk away.
Engagement is challenging. But among panellists and audience there was a strong desire for ethical, thoughtful travel that left consumerist escapism far behind.
Many holidays are marketed as one or two weeks of sunshine / pool / peace and quiet or [fill in the blank] in a mythical paradise which could be anywhere hot and affordable. But commodifying a place reduces it to its heat, its beach, its clubs. The people who live there become almost immaterial, reduced to staff, strangers or threats. Engaging with a place helps to ensure the people who live there are not dehumanised. True, it's not easy to strike up conversation with a stranger that goes beyond directions or sales – especially across a language barrier. But such a conversation allows the humanising process to go both ways; Westerns are not just cash cows (however daft we get when we don a sun hat).
The most meaningful place I've found for engaging with people in a holiday destination was on a particularly difficult overseas trip. I was with my father, we had run out of motivation to be away, and on the Sunday we went to the local church, and stayed for its pot luck lunch. It was by far the best meal of the trip, though I couldn't tell you what we ate. I do, however, remember home-cooked food from people who accepted us as we were. I've repeated that experiment on happier trips, and even without the free lunch, a humble, ordinary church service has offered a snapshot of a community and a way of hearing its concerns. But you don't have to go to church; for me talking to a restaurant owner on a struggling Greek island in 2015 made the country's economic crisis tangible.
Before you go, look up a destination's human or religious rights record (the consensus was against boycotting countries because engagement was considered more valuable). There might be heroes to celebrate, as well as white-washed narratives to look out for.
When you're there, buy a local paper, assuming it's in a language you can just about understand.
Don't depress yourself with disaster memorials you're not in the mood for but do stimulate your brain with a curiosity for what's around you.
Try the local church/synagogue/mosque – whatever you'd attend at home.
Look for ways to have more meaningful conversations and let me know where you find them.
Why do people say stupid things on Twitter?
If you had 140 characters with which to say write something that would be visible across the whole internet, why would you say something petty or offensive? Yet our habits on Twitter, which has 330m users, suggest we often do just that.
Toby Young, journalist, schools pioneer and Twitter abuser, enjoyed a reign shorter than Lady Jane Grey's before quitting as non-executive director on the board of the new regulatory Office for Students.
His comments about women's breasts, lesbians, another man's breath (guess you had to be there) and apparently underworked teachers, ranged from vile to unfortunate-given-his-new-role-involving-students. He has since deleted thousands of tweets, but opponents have treasured up a choice few and republished them. Nothing really dies in cyberspace – except dignity.

When is the will of the people not the will of the people? Daniel Finkelstein argued in The Times yesterday that a second referendum on Brexit could not be held because "the damage done to trust in democracy would be huge". He also characterised the June 2016 vote as when millions of people "challenged the interests and attitudes of the political establishment".
But he depicts a simpler picture than – and the politicians he cites failed to foresee – the fractious muddle we have ended up with. For a start, we are talking about the will of 52 per cent of voters. And it has since emerged that more than 400 fake Twitter accounts believed to be run from St Petersburg put out tweets about Brexit. So we may be falling over ourselves to uphold a result that reflects the will of some wily Russian hackers.

A group of cynical art dealers and collectors is hunted down and butchered by the spirit of a psychotic artist who painted hundreds of horrific scenes.
Velvet Buzzsaw (2019)
Written and Directed by Dan Gilroy
Starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Rene Russo, Zawe Ashton,
Toni Collette, Tom Sturridge, Natalia Dyer, John Malkovich,
Daveed Diggs, Billy Magnussen
Velvet Buzzsaw is a strange movie that's, oddly enough, about critiquing and how cynical it is to critique art. Art is ultimately subjective. I think we can all agree on that. I'm aware of the irony that I'm reviewing this movie, but here we go. The film is a smart satire on the modern art community of Los Angeles, the so-called hipster critics who have no real taste and are slaves to trends and the ever-changing "next big thing." What this film does is provide a scenario in which that "next big thing" is deadly, dangerous, and eager to kill. Lo and behold, nobody tries to stop it because that would harm the sale price.
Gyllenhaal plays Morf Vandewalt, a jaded art critic who makes a living tearing down newcomers and smarting off about it to his artsy friends. Russo plays Rhodora Haze, owner of an art gallery who is respected in the community but despised in secret by pretty much everyone. When her protege, Josephina (Ashton) finds a cache of monstrous paintings by a man in her apartment building who died, Rhodora and Josephina market the artist, Vetril Dease, as the next big thing. But something in Dease's paintings is evil and people around them start dying horrific deaths. The film is loaded with unlikable characters who you don't mind seeing die creatively.
Velvet Buzzsaw is an entertaining satire that destroys the absurdity of the art community and also acts as a solid, grisly horror movie at times. It's a Netflix original that vanished after its release and never really nabbed an audience, and I get that. It's definitely an acquired taste and most people may find it pretentious. But I found it to be really smart, and the performances were great, even if every character is a spiteful little shit.

Pictured, part of the deterioration of the brick foundation for the original Carnegie Library in Denison is exposed for inspection.
Quote to repair library foundation approved
by Gordon Wolf
A quote from Slechta Masonry, of Denison, in the amount of $48,500 was approved Tuesday by the Denison City Council to repair the deteriorating foundation at Norelius Community Library.
Council members were told, however, that the cost could be higher if it is discovered that an inside foundational wall has also deteriorated.
The part of the foundation that is deteriorating is from the original Carnegie Library, which opened in 1904.
City Manager/City Engineer Terry Crawford said the amount of the quote was an estimate as it only pertained to the replacement of the visible brick, or one wythe (a continuous vertical section of masonry, one masonry unit thick). He said the foundation has at least two wythes, and the brick in the inner wall might also have deteriorated.
Slechta Masonry provided a quote of an additional $75 per square foot if they have to replace sections of an inner foundation wall.
Slechta's quote was based on 320 square feet of visible deteriorated brick, and Crawford said the contractor would be paid on the number of square feet that is replaced.
The council agreed with Crawford that Slechta did not have to submit a performance bond because it is a well-known local contractor. Requiring the bond would have raised the cost by $2,500.
"Normally, for a performance and material payment bond, we require them on large projects but may also require that from out-of-town contractors we're not familiar with," Crawford said. "Slechta Masonry has been here for many years."
Slechta was the only contractor to submit a quote although a number of contractors in western Iowa and eastern Nebraska had been contacted. Only two contractors, Slechta and Bernholtz Masonry, of Carroll, asked for plans. Bernholtz did not submit a quote.
Crawford said he felt good about the effort made in the procurement process, pointing to the number of contractors that were contacted.
"We are under the threshold requiring competitive quotations, so we're fine with one quote, even though if we were above $57,000, I still think we met the made a good faith effort to get more than one quote," he explained
He believes the nature of the project was a reason for less interest. Sections of foundation only two to three feet wide could be removed at one time and the work has to be done in the confined spaces of a boiler room.
Councilman Corey Curnyn offered that the mobilization expense may also have been a deterrent.
The problem with the foundation brick was discovered nearly a year and a half ago. Library Director Monica Walley reported at the July 17, 2018, council meeting about damage found on a wall when the steps to the original Carnegie Library were being repaired, and at the next council meeting two weeks later she presented photographs of damage to the foundation walls.
At first the problem was believed to be originating on the exterior of the building, and an estimate put the repairs at $225,000. After the Public Works Department dug a 10-foot-deep hole to allow the city manager and a structural engineer to inspect the foundation, it was determined that the moisture was originating from the inside. On August 6 last year, Crawford told the city council that he and the structural engineer found that a cementive coating about one-half inch thick was used to cover the exterior of the foundation, covered with a bituminous weather proofing.
He said it was believed that the moisture in the interior is originating from sweat or condensation in the mechanical room. In addition, a floor drain is located in that room. A recommendation was to put dehumidifiers in the mechanical room and to get a final report from the structural engineer and seek proposals from contractors.
Letter commending Denison firefighters
City council passes motions, hears praise for firefighters
The Denison City Council took the other following action on Tuesday.
- Appointed Councilman David Loeschen as mayor pro tem
- Approved a resolution to accept the work done on the North 10th Street project. Ten Point Construction was the general contractor. Three change orders for the project and periodic cost estimate No. 5 for the project were also approved on Tuesday as part of the consent agenda. City Manager/City Engineer Terry Crawford said that the change orders are produced by the Department of Transportation instead of by the local engineer. Crawford added that he and County Engineer Paul Assman thought the entire project turned out very well; the county shared a portion of the project.
- Agreed to forego special assessments on a lot located at 1610 North 24th Street once a house proposed for the lot is sold. City Clerk Lisa Koch explained that Journey Church has purchased the lot and asked for the special assessment to be forgiven. The church plans to build a house on the lot, which would be sold to a parishioner, and the lot with the house would go onto the tax rolls. The special assessments currently total $1,831.75 and accrue interest. Councilman Corey Curnyn pointed out that the city would never collect the special assessments. No timeline on the construction and sale of the house was provided to the city.
- Amended item 17.06 in the city ordinances to change the manner in which council members are paid for the meetings they attend. Currently they are paid $300 in January to cover all the special meetings throughout the year, and in December they are paid for all the regular meetings they attend. City Clerk Lisa Koch explained it would be easier to pay council members on a quarterly or monthly basis for the meetings, special and regular, they attend. She said if a council member is paid $300 for special meetings at the beginning of the year and later resigns, the person appointed to fill the vacancy also receives $300. The city does not ask for the return of a portion of the $300 paid to the council member who resigned. The council preferred quarterly payments. The city attorney will prepare an amendment to change the ordinance.
- Was read a letter by Councilman John Granzen that commended the response of the Denison Volunteer Fire Department to an accident on October 24 last year in which the rear anhydrous ammonia tank had been hit, causing a leak (a PDF of the letter can be opened on this post). After reading the letter, Granzen commented that the driver of the semi pulling the anhydrous tank wisely moved it out of the way. If not, the leaking ammonia would have probably killed the driver of the truck that rear-ended the tank. Addressing the praise given to the firefighters, Granzen said, "It goes to show what kind of training our department does when you have somebody responding like that."
- Decided to act on a suggestion by Councilman John Granzen to have the council tour city-owned property and look at city-owned equipment on a regular basis, perhaps visiting one facility every couple of months. Granzen pointed out that the council already takes an annual street tour to view streets being considered for projects. He said by touring facilities and looking at equipment, council members could see if there are things that need to be done and that facilities and equipment are being kept up the way they should.

When it comes to vacation accommodations, the advent of house-sharing sites like Airbnb and VRBO opened more possibilities than ever before. Families looking to share larger accommodations or smaller groups who want amenities like kitchens and common areas are now turning to short-term rentals instead of hotel rooms. This change is forcing larger hotel chains to diversify and improve their offerings like never before. As a result, some truly incredible hotels being both built and renovated in the past few years.
If you're going on vacation and are interested in seeing just how luxurious your hotel can get, check out some of these incredible options.

Emirates Palace – Abu Dhabi
Operated by the luxury hotel chain Kempinski, the Emirates Palace hotel is one of the most expensive hotels in the world. Located in the heart of Abu Dhabi, this gigantic hotel is so fancy that it has a dress code — and not just for dinner. Guests who stay in this five-star hotel must wear smart casual or Arab national styles of dress.
When you first step into the courtyard, you're greeted by a tiled entryway complete with dramatically lit palm trees and an elaborate water feature. The hotel has its own private white sand beach and boasts over 1,000 chandeliers.
Many estimate that the Emirates Palace cost over $3 billion to build.
The Apartment at the Hotel Connaught – London
Mayfair has been an upper-class neighborhood in London for centuries. The Hotel Connaught is the crown jewel of its hospitality industry.
Founded in 1815, the hotel still retains many of its original features, including the famous central staircase. It re-opened in 2007 after an $89 million renovation, which included a brand-new art-deco inspired grand ballroom.
The most prestigious suite at the Hotel Connaught is The Apartment, a two-bed, 2.5 bath oasis with wraparound private balcony, fireplace, and 24-hour private butler service. When you're tired of relaxing in your room, retreat to the tranquil Aman Spa, the first to be built outside an Aman resort.
Mardan Palace Hotel – Antalya, Turkey
One of the most expensive resort hotels in both Europe and the Middle East is the Mardan Palace Hotel. Opened in May 2009, it's rumored the construction cost $1.4 billion. That's believable considering the private beach has sand imported from Egypt and each of the 560 rooms is decorated with gold, marble, and crystals.
The central feature of the hotel is the enormous swimming pool, which is currently the largest in the Mediterranean. Within the pool, there's a sunken aquarium that contains over 2,000 fish.
Westin Excelsior – Rome
In a city like Rome where most of the architecture dates from before the 18th century, it's not enough for a hotel to just be luxurious on the inside. It must have a suitably magnificent exterior as well.
The Westin Excelsior is one of the most incredible architectural sights of Rome. Built in 1906, the hotel has served as a filming location for several well-known Italian movies, including the 1960 classic La Dolce Vita.
The hotel is close to amenities like the Villa Borghese and the Spanish Steps. However, you may never want to leave the hotel itself, especially if you're staying in the Villa la Cupola suite. This is an incredible 7,900 square foot suite with a terrace that's level with the hotel cupola.
Burj Al Arab Jumeirah – Dubai
One of the most iconic buildings in the entire world is the Burj Al Arab Jumeirah. As one of the tallest hotels in the world, this hotel is on its own private island just off the shore of Dubai's Jumeirah Beach.
Instead of filling the hotel with smaller rooms to accommodate more guests, the designers opted to only build suites. Each available suite spans two floors and offers 24-hour butler service, as well as access to their fleet of chauffeured Rolls-Royces. In addition to the incredible suites, you can play tennis on their incredible floating rooftop courts or relax at the Talise Spa for a day of pampering.
The Plaza – New York City
It's not every day that a hotel comes with its own mythology. However, The Plaza in New York City has been in business for so long and has catered to such interesting and famous clientele that there are literal volumes written about this iconic institution.
One of the most famous books about life at The Plaza is the Eloise series. These books follow the adventures of a sassy little girl who lives in a Plaza suite. If you have youngsters who love those books, they'll love the special Eloise Suite, a pink suite decorated by Betsey Johnson. On the flip side, adults will love the elegant Palm Court tearoom or the Champagne Bar overlooking Fifth Avenue.
The Boulders Resort and Spa – Scottsdale, Arizona
One of the most unique hotels in the world is The Boulders Resort and Spa, a Scottsdale-area hotel built into the side of a magnificent 12-million-year-old boulder formation. In addition to the well-appointed rooms and suites, there's a championship golf course on-site and a luxury spa.
The Boulders is the perfect mix of bespoke elegance and natural beauty. Nowhere is that plainer than in their most luxurious suite, the Villa Retreat. This private, two-story retreat comes with its own pool, soaking tub, firepit, and barbecue area.
Marquis Los Cabos – Los Cabos
If you want to be inspired by serene beach views and swaying palm trees, then the Marquis Los Cabos is the ideal choice for you. The most incredible aspect of this hotel is the massive, vaulted lobby that opens onto the ocean.
If you're looking for a bit more privacy, check into one of their Casitas, private suites with their own plunge pools and sun decks. Outside of relaxation, let the staff at the Marquis arrange a private wine tasting or bar hopping for your group in Cabo San Lucas.
Al Maha Desert Resort – Dubai
The Al Maha Desert Resort near Dubai is the perfect retreat away from city life, while still being accessible by most forms of transportation. The resort blends in well with its desert surroundings. In fact, many of the suites are built around tents, which peek out from behind clumps of vegetation. Inside, the elegant suites are all decorated in lavish style, plus many come with their own private pool.
During the day, the resort staff encourages guests to take part in their favorite activities. You can take a turn at the archery butts, learn the art of falconry, or go on a desert safari.
