A Brief Aboriginal History
"The very ink with which all history is written is merely fluid prejudice."
Since the European invasion of Australia in 1788, the Aboriginal people have been oppressed into a world unnatural to their existence for thousands of years. First came the influx of the strangers who carried with them diseases, which decimated the immediate population of the Sydney tribes. It is estimated that over 750,000 Aboriginal people inhabited the island continent in 1788. The colonists were led to believe that the land was terra nullius ('no one's land'), despite what Lt James Cook saw in 1770 during his voyage up the east coast of Australia.
"… they were so ignorant they thought there was only one race on the earth and that was the white race. So when Captain Cook first came, when Lieutenant James Cook first set foot on Wangal land over at Kundul which is now called Kurnell, he said oh lets put a flag up somewhere, because these people are illiterate, they've got no fences. They didn't understand that we didn't need fences … that we stayed here for six to eight weeks, then moved somewhere else where there was plenty of tucker and bush medicine and we kept moving and then come back in twelve months' time when the food was all refreshed …"1
the late Aunty Beryl Timbery Beller
It would not be an exaggeration to claim that the Island continent was owned by over 400 different nations at the time of this claim by Cook. When the first fleet arrived in Sydney Cove it is said that Captain Philip was astounded with the theory of Cook's terra nullius, saying "Sailing up into Sydney cove we could see natives lining the shore shaking spears and yelling."
The Occupants of the Land
Clans in the Sydney Region – courtesy of Dr Val Attenbrow, 2010
For thousands of years prior to the arrival of Europeans, northern Sydney was occupied by different Aboriginal clans. Living primarily along the foreshores of the harbour, they fished and hunted in the waters and hinterlands of the area, and harvested food from the surrounding bush. Self-sufficient and harmonious, they had no need to travel far from their lands, since the resources about them were so abundant, and trade with other tribal groups was well established. Moving throughout their country in accordance with the seasons, people only needed to spend about 4-5 hours per day working to ensure their survival. With such a large amount of leisure time available, they developed a rich and complex ritual life – language, customs, spirituality and the law – the heart of which was connection to the land.
European Discovery and Arrival
The arrival of Lt James Cook in 1770 marked the beginning of the end for this ancient way of life. Cook's voyage of exploration had sailed under instructions to take possession of the Southern Continent if it was uninhabited, or with the consent of the natives if it was occupied. Either way, it was to be taken. Upon his arrival, Lt Cook declared the land he called New South Wales to be the property of Britain's King George III, and ignored the inconvenient fact that the land was already well populated. His failure to even attempt to gain the consent of the natives began the legal fiction that Australia was waste and unoccupied (terra nullius: learn more).
Cook was followed soon enough by the arrival of the First Fleet, in January of 1788, under the command of Captain Arthur Phillip, whose mission was to establish a penal colony and take control of Terra Australia for settlement.
We found the natives tolerably numerous as we advanced up the river, and even at the harbour's mouth we had reason to conclude the country more populous than Mr Cook thought it. For on the Supply's arrival in the [Botany] bay on the 18th of the month they assembled on the beach of the south shore to the number of not less than forty persons, shouting and making many uncouth signs and gestures. This appearance whetted curiosity to its utmost, but as prudence forbade a few people to venture wantonly among so great a number, and a party of only six men was observed on the north shore, the governor immediately proceeded to land on that side in order to take possession of this new territory and bring about an intercourse between its new and old masters.
Watkin Tench, January 1788
The first act of land ownership by Europeans came within four days of arrival when a group of men from the HMS Sirius went ashore to clear land to gain access to fresh water. By 26 January, the First Fleet had found its way to Sydney Cove and landed there on the harbour.
Aboriginal Life Through European Eyes
The early Europeans took a dim view of the Aboriginal way of life when first they encountered it.
This excerpt is taken from the diary of Watkin Tench, an officer in the First Fleet:
It does not appear that these poor creatures have any fixed Habitation; sometimes sleeping in a Cavern of Rock, which they make as warm as a Oven by lighting a Fire in the middle of it, they will take up their abode here, for one Night perhaps, then in another the next Night. At other times (and we believe mostly in Summer) they take up their lodgings for a Day or two in a Miserable Wigwam, which they made from Bark of a Tree. There are dispersed about the woods near the water, 2, 3, 4 together; some Oyster, Cockle and Muscle (sic) Shells lie about the Entrance of them, but not in any Quantity to indicate they make these huts their constant Habitation. We met with some that seemed entirely deserted indeed it seems pretty evident that their Habitation, whether Caverns or Wigwams, are common to all, and Alternatively inhabited by different Tribes.
Kinship with the Land
For Aboriginal people and, in this instance, the clans living on the northern shores of Sydney, nothing could have been further from the truth. What the early colonists never understood, and perhaps what many Australians are only now beginning to grasp, was that the Aboriginal lifestyle was based on total kinship with the natural environment. Wisdom and skills obtained over the millennia enabled them to use their environment to the maximum. For the Aboriginal people, acts such as killing animals for food or building a shelter were steeped in ritual and spirituality, and carried out in perfect balance with their surroundings.
… from time immemorial, we believe as Aboriginal people, Australia has been here from the first sunrise, our people have been here along with the continent, with the first sunrise. We know our land was given to us by Baiami, we have a sacred duty to protect that land, we have a sacred duty to protect all the animals that we have an affiliation with through our totem system …1
Jenny Munro, Wiradjuri nation
Food was abundant, as was fresh water and shelter. Everything needed for a fruitful, healthy life was readily available. It was not to remain so. The British arrival brought armed conflict and a lack of understanding, which heralded the demise of the northern Sydney clans, along with the other peoples of the Sydney basin – the Dharawal to the south and the Dharug to the west. Food shortages soon became a problem. The large white population depleted the fish by netting huge catches, reduced the kangaroo population with unsustainable hunting, cleared the land, and polluted the water. As a result, the Aboriginal people throughout the Sydney Basin were soon close to starvation.
Disease and Devastation
Disease struck a fatal and extensive blow to the Aboriginal people, who until that point had been isolated for thousands of years from the diseases that had raged through Europe and Asia. They had no resistance to the deadly viruses carried by the sailors and convicts such as smallpox, syphilis and influenza. In less than a year, over half the indigenous population living in the Sydney Basin had died from smallpox. The region, once alive with a vibrant mix of Aboriginal clans, now fell silent.
Every boat that went down the harbour found them lying dead on the beaches and in the caverns of the rocks… They were generally found with the remains of a small fire on each side of them and some water left within their reach.
Lieutenant Fowell, 1789
It is difficult to comprehend how devastating this event was to the Aboriginal clans of the Sydney area. Bennelong told Judge Advocat David Collins that his friend Colebee's tribe had been reduced to only three people. Those witnessing could not remain unmoved.
At that time a native was living with us; and on our taking him down to the harbour to look for his former companions, those who witnessed his expression and agony can never forget either. He looked anxiously around him in the different coves we visited; not a vestige on the sand was to be found of human foot; the excavations in the rocks were filled with the putrid bodies of those who had fallen victims to the disorder; not a living person was any where to be met with. It seemed as if, flying from the contagion, they had left the dead to bury the dead. He lifted up his hands and eyes in silent agony for some time; at last he exclaimed, 'All dead! all dead!' and then hung his head in mournful silence, which he preserved during the remainder of our excursion. Some days after he learned that the few of his companions who survived had fled up the harbour to avoid the pestilence that so dreadfully raged. His fate has been already mentioned. He fell a victim to his own humanity when Boo-roong, Nan-bar-ray, and others were brought into the town covered with the eruptions of the disorder. On visiting Broken Bay, we found that it had not confined its effects to Port Jackson, for in many places our path was covered with skeletons, and the same spectacles were to be met with in the hollows of most of the rocks of that harbour.
Judge Advocate David Collins, 1798
The colonists had destroyed within months a way of life that had outlasted British history by tens of thousands of years, and the people soon realised that the trespassers were committed to nothing less than total occupation of the land.
To most settlers, the Aboriginal people were considered akin to kangaroos, dingoes and emus, strange fauna to be eradicated to make way for the development of farming and grazing.
I have myself heard a man, educated, and a large proprietor of sheep and cattle, maintain that there was no more harm in shooting a native, than in shooting a wild dog. I have heard it maintained by others that it is the course of Providence, that blacks should disappear before the white, and the sooner the process was carried out the better, for all parties. I fear such opinions prevail to a great extent. Very recently in the presence of two clergymen, a man of education narrated, as a good thing, that he had been one of a party who had pursued the blacks, in consequence of cattle being rushed by them, and that he was sure that they shot upwards of a hundred. When expostulated with, he maintained that there was nothing wrong in it, that it was preposterous to suppose they had souls. In this opinion he was joined by another educated person present.
Bishop Polding, 1845
Despite these impacts, Aboriginal people fought a guerrilla war for many years. In a place renamed Woodford Bay by the settlers, now in Longueville in Lane Cove Council, a stockade was built in 1790 to protect timber and grass cutters from attacks by local clans. Attacks had been mounted against the British elsewhere (learn more), however, the 'eradication', for the most part, had been easy. Smallpox had destroyed more than half the population and those not ravaged by disease were displaced when land was cleared for settlements and farms. Dispossessed of the land that had nourished them for so long, the Aboriginal people became dependent on white food and clothing. Alcohol, used as a means of trade by the British, served to further shatter traditional social and family structures.
European civilisation devastated, in what amounts to the blink of an eye, an incomparable and ancient people. Because the vast majority of clans living in the Sydney Basin were killed as a result of the 1788 invasion, the stories of the land have been lost forever. Much of what we do know about the northern Sydney clans must be gleaned from their archaeological remains. Middens, shelters, engravings and art remnants of indigenous life are prolific throughout the region, but no one remains to reveal their particular meanings or ancient significance. There are no first hand witness accounts giving the Aboriginal perspective to what was happening.
Rediscovering History
Aboriginal history has been handed down in ways of stories, dances, myths and legends. The dreaming is history. A history of how the world, which was featureless, was transformed into mountains, hills, valleys and waterways. The dreaming tells about how the stars were formed and how the sun came to be.
In the metropolitan area of Sydney there are thousands of Aboriginal sites, over 1000 just in the AHO partner Council areas. These sites are under threat every day from development, vandalism and natural erosion. The sites cannot be replaced and once they are destroyed, they are gone forever. The sites that are located in Lane Cove, North Sydney, Willoughby, Ku-ring-gai, Strathfield and Northern Beaches Council areas are still in reasonable condition and hold an important part in our history. The Aboriginal people, who once occupied this area, left important evidence of their past and way of life before colonisation. All Aboriginal sites are significant to Aboriginal people because they are evidence of the past Aboriginal occupation of Australia and are valued as a link with their traditional culture. An emphasis is placed on the scientific investigation into stone technology for a great deal of insight is obtained by studying the manufacture techniques and animals associated with them that tells us about daily traditional life. Clues to what these sites were used for can also be surmised by talking with Elders from other parts of Australia where traditional knowledge has not been lost to the same degree.

Tax hikes and price increases are a depressingly common thread worldwide in this week's expat news. New property taxes in Hong Kong, increased visa application fees in Australia and a state of near-unrest in Portugal due to increasingly severe austerity measures all contribute to a rather glum outlook for many current and future expats.
There are, thankfully, some happier tales. Budget airline, Easyjet, has announced many new routes that will make world travel cheaper and easier for people in numerous destinations. Meanwhile, in Switzerland, economists claim that the country's employment situation is stable and that there is no sign of an economic slump, despite relentless reports of job cuts in many well-known companies.
Property Tax Rises for expats in Hong Kong
The government in Hong Kong is taking measures to try to prevent an unsustainable property market bubble. This week, it announced a new 15% property purchase tax for overseas buyers.
Stamp duty is also being raised in a bid to prevent speculative property purchases – those trying to "flip" a property within six months will now have to pay 20% stamp duty.
Hong Kong is statistically the most expensive place in the world in which to rent property.

More New Routes for Easyjet
No shortage of news from Easyjet this week, with a run of announcements about new routes, some of which are sure to provide new travel options for expats.
Easyjet's new routes include a regular flight from Gatwick to Moscow. Travellers from Gatwick will also be able to reach Kalamata (Greece) and Santiago (Spain) from 2013. These new routes mean that Easyjet will now be flying to more than 100 destinations from its Gatwick base.
Easyjet have also announced new flights from other London airports, hot on the heels of October's news of six new routes from Edinburgh.
EasyJet launches ten new routes (easyjet.com)
Portugal's Hard Times Continue
Expats in Portugal have little to be cheerful to about, with news this week that the dreaded 2013 budget, with its shocking tax rises, has been passed by parliament.
Meanwhile, the International Monetary Fund has stated that the progress on Portugal's post-bailout recovery has "entered a challenging phase." Protests outside parliament in Lisbon are becoming more heated and frequent. Local newspapers have stated that the police are nervous of violence around the forthcoming general strike, and a visit from Angela Merkel, the German chancellor.

Australia Visa Fees on the Increase
Individuals planning to move to Australia may need to budget significantly more for visa application fees.
The government is proposing to make significant increases to the fees. The cost of a long-stay temporary business visa could increase to AU$455, a hike of 30%.
Even worse off will be graduates, if the changes are implemented. The cost of applying for a "skilled graduate" visa will increase to AU$1260, from a current cost of just AU$315.
Government Proposes Significant Increases to Visa Application Fees (totallyexpat.com)
Switzerland's Employment Situation "Stable"
Expats following news in Switzerland will have become used to hearing of job cuts in recent weeks, with large numbers of redundancies announced at companies including UBS, Swisscom and Hewlett Packard.
Economists, however, seem convinced that the general employment situation in the country is stable, with new vacancies in other sectors compensating for the losses.
Residents of Switzerland will be glad that, for now at least, the country seems to be avoiding the rapidly rising unemployment afflicting many other European nations. However, this will be of little comfort to those on the redundancy lists.
Employment is stable despite downsizing wave (swissinfo.ch)

Homepage»Streaming»Remember the Tesla Solar Roof Tiles? Yeah, what happened to those?
Elon Musk unveiled prototypes of tesla 's solar roof tiles in October 2016. They came in four styles that looked just like reveals roofing material but were essentially miniaturized versions of traditional solar panels.
The roof tile reveals helped Tesla justify a 2.6 billion dollar acquisition of SolarCity and represented Musk's vision for what businesses could do together. It's been almost two years since then, so where are the tiles?
"We now have several hundred homes with the Solar Roof on them, and that's going well. It takes a while to just confirm that the Solar Roof is going to last for 30 years and all the details work out," said Elon Musk.
As in May this year, Reuters reported there are actually only 12 tiled roofs connected to the grid all in Northern California.
Tesla declined to give an updated figure but later clarified that hundreds of homes refer to roofs that are scheduled for install or are only partially installed.
Tesla has been accepting a $1000 deposits for the Roof Tiles since May 2017, but at that point, the company wasn't even close to mass producing them.
It established a factory in Buffalo New York to make the tiles but it is not running at full capacity yet.
In one of the company's most recent annual shareholder meetings, Musk blamed ongoing delays on the need for more testing.
"There is only so much accelerated live testing that you can do on a roof, so before we can deploy it to a large number of houses we need to make sure that all elements of the roof are going to last for at least 3 decades. Ideally for half a century or more," Musk at the June 5, 2018, Annual Shareholder Meeting.
Solar Tiles like large solar panels use silicon solar cells to convert sunlight into electricity but it turns out this tech is difficult to shrink and to manufacture.
"It's like saying the early iphone screens which were real breakthroughs were just smaller versions of the flat screens on your wall. Making things small, actually changes the way the technology will work, and that has been a big challenge for Tesla, but certainly for the entire industry as well," said Andrew Beebe, Obvious Ventures Managing Director.
"To try and miniaturize the product in a way that keeps it cost effective and also giving it the very reliable performance that solar is known for," Mr. Beebe added.
One of the customers with the tiles already installed is San Jose resident and Tesla Model 3 owner Tri Huynh. He pre-ordered as soon as possible and the roof is installed earlier this year.
While traditional solar panels can be installed in a day, it took a team of ten to fifteen workers two weeks to install this roof.
Tesla's customers are paying a premium for the tile's sleek look. Huynh's roof cost him about a US $100,000; though he did need to replace his roof anyway.
For people that don't need any roof but want to install solar, traditional panels are definitely cheaper.
"People have often asked me: do we need to find some new type of technology to make solar work? I think the answer is no! The solar industry has won in America. We have made solar cost-effective in most of the country," adds Andrew Beebe.
Huynh is excited to be an early adaptor and see his energy bill decrease.
"Traditionally in the summer my power bill is around US $400 – $450. My last bill was only US $40," adds Huynh.
Ultimately Tesla goal is to make the tiles a cost-effective option partly be ensuring there are more durable than other rooftops. Tesla is promising 30 years of solar power generation.
"I would expect that these Solar Roofing Tiles to be reasonably priced in just a few years if they can get the market interested," said Dan Kammen, PhD, Professor of Energy at UC Berkeley.
Experts anticipate a wave of new solar installations within the next three to five years.
"Not just for homes. For businesses, for mini-malls, all kinds of built infrastructure where we can make solar the "go-to" product. It's no longer a roofing shingle anymore, its a power plant on your roof," adds Kammen.
Tesla says solar roof installation will scale up later this year and into 2019.
"Its highly likely that great engineers and incredible technologists, and a lot of these people might be at Tesla; are going to be able to take on this very difficult challenge and engineer the heck out of it to get us to that cost parity. We are not there yet," says Andrew Beebe.

eBay: 'Cryptocurrencies Aren't Part of Our Payment Strategy'
May 16 2019 · 09:17 UTC | Updated Feb 4 2020 · 11:40
by Teuta Franjkovic · 3 min read
Even though there was hope that eBay may be delving into Bitcoin and cryptocurrency, the hopes were shattered after their spokeperson said that cryptocurrency is not a part of their payments strategy.
Earlier this week, eBay pretty much added sparks to the crypto community with adds plastered all over Hilton hotel in New York where the latest Consensus conference was held.
One add said "Virtual currencies. It's happening on eBay", and others were also mentioning digital collectibles among other topics pertinent to this budding industry.
That lead some people in the industry to the conclusion that this $32 billion e-commerce giant could be delving into Bitcoin (BTC) and cryptocurrency (or even launch its own). However, even though the company was a primary sponsor of the event – they don't have exact intentions to get into this industry.
But addressing the rumors directly, an eBay spokesperson said:
"Cryptocurrency is not accepted as a form of payment on the eBay platform, nor is it part of our payments strategy."
However, eBay has an actual section that is called Virtual Currency in which users are able to purchase digital assets from sellers. So, the billboard was obviously a smart marketing trick aimed at attracting new buyers and sellers to the platform. However, among the crypto community, there is still hope that this denial doesn't mean a definitive end.
Other big retailers don't seem to be so sceptic when it comes to crypto. One of the most courageous was for sure Overstock.com, the one-time Amazon competitor, who was the first major retail company in the US to jump on the Bitcoin trend. Apart from accepting Bitcoin, Overstock also allowed its customers to purchase Bitcoin directly from their website with the help of Bitsy.
Other Retailers Much Courageous
While the retailers themselves aren't directly accepting cryptocurrency, the partners, which include Lowe's, Amazon's Whole Foods, Nordstrom, and Gamestop will accept fiat sourced from Bitcoin. This will boost cryptocurrency adoption, and likely sparked some hype in the retail audience.
Recently Amazon confirmed that they are now interested in Amazon Coin. Things are still pretty much unclear because it wasn't told if they want something like Amazon Coin or just Bitcoin payments integrated into Amazon.com payments. This news is been broken by Amazon Web Service's General Manager Rahul Pathak. He said:
"At our scale, in our e-commerce business and in our web services business, we've had a need to maintain an immutable record. So that core ledger component is something Amazon's been used extensively and on a very high scale."
Besides that, Changpeng Zhao's (CZ) past remarks on Amazon direct he is at least interested in e-commerce. In this tweet, Zhao talked about the rewards of internet businesses using crypto payments.
For any internet (non-physical) based business, I don't understand why anyone would not accept crypto for payments. It is easier, faster and cheaper to integration than traditional payment gateways. Less paperwork. And reaches more diverse demographic and geography.
— CZ Binance (@cz_binance) February 2, 2019
He stated that acceptance of crypto as a method of payment in non-physical business is easier, speedier and low-priced to incorporate as compared to outdated payment doorways.

The site of the new primary school at Tews Lane.
Fremington councillors have welcomed proposals for a new school in the parish – but not at Tews Lane.
The parish council meeting resolved to support the need for a new school to serve Roundswell, but felt Tews Lane was not suitable due to traffic problems and urged Devon County Council to consider an alternative site.
This is only a recommendation for refusal and the final decision rests with North Devon Council's planning committee.
The proposal from the Tarka Learning Partnership seeks to create a 420-place school on the edge of the Mont Bray development.
The two storey building will have specialist science and art areas, a multi-activity studio, library and a 39-place nursery.
Outside there will be sports pitches, a multi-use games area and an environmental area.
Roundswell Residents' association has objected strongly to the plans, saying it did not object to a school but would inflict traffic chaos and misery on an area that already suffered from gridlock.
Councillor Rodney Cann told the meeting the school was needed but would be in the wrong place, creating a 'perfect storm' gridlock.
He said the county council already owned a site – understood to be near Sainsbury's - which it deems unsuitable because there is an aerial nearby and it is instead looking to use it for residential development.
He felt a more appropriate site for the school would be at Larkbeare.
County councillor Frank Biederman said the site has now been allocated in the local plan and there had been no objections at the time, making it difficult to fight now.
He said he had concerns about the traffic plan because he had been led to believe the turning circle at the new school would be a drop off point, but now he understands this is not the case.
He said the council could make representations but as yet the full detailed planning application had not been received. He felt there would always be opposition, wherever the school was sited.
The council resolved to ask DCC as a matter of urgency to consider alternative sites which will also serve Larkbear, 'to ensure a quality of life for those in Bickington and Roundswell'.
Cllr Cann's motion to express support for a school but refuse the proposed site was approved, with three abstentions. Cllr Biederman's amendment for the council to make strong recommendations it would only support the proposal if it had safe traffic plan was not seconded.

SAC's Higg Materials Tool aids designers in assessing environmental impact
"The Sustainable Apparel Coalition (SAC) has announced an update to the Higg Materials Sustainability Index (Higg MSI), a tool that enables the apparel, footwear, and textile industry to assess the environmental impact of materials used in global manufacturing. With the most recent update, businesses around the world can more effectively assess the environmental impact of materials as they design more sustainable products. The SAC, a global industry coalition that is standardising social and environmental sustainability performance measurement, is constantly improving and expanding the Higg MSI. Higg MSI users are encouraged to contribute material data to the tool's growing library of materials. Once data is submitted, it is reviewed and verified and scored by third-party experts."
The Sustainable Apparel Coalition (SAC) has announced an update to the Higg Materials Sustainability Index (Higg MSI), a tool that enables the apparel, footwear, and textile industry to assess the environmental impact of materials used in global manufacturing. With the most recent update, businesses around the world can more effectively assess the environmental impact of materials as they design more sustainable products. The SAC, a global industry coalition that is standardising social and environmental sustainability performance measurement, is constantly improving and expanding the Higg MSI. Higg MSI users are encouraged to contribute material data to the tool's growing library of materials. Once data is submitted, it is reviewed and verified and scored by third-party experts.
A reliable tool
The Higg MSI, the industry's most trusted tool for accurately measuring and scoring a material's environmental impact, now features 80 base materials, including cotton, polyester, and silk. When blended, these account for the majority of all materials the industry currently uses. The update includes a new feature that enables suppliers to share sustainability performance information about their materials with brands and retailers. Such upstream communication promotes greater transparency and improved sustainability performance within the industry. Jason Kibbey, CEO, SAC says, "With the opportunity to play a key role in determining a product's sustainability performance, being a designer today is really exciting. With the Higg MSI, product designers can access an incredible amount of information, and then use it to significantly reduce environmental impacts of materials production."
Assessing process
Applying trusted metrics, the Higg MSI assesses a material's environmental performance and scores the results. Calculations account for energy, water, chemistry, and additional impacts used in material production, giving designers greater insight in creating more sustainable apparel. For the apparel, footwear, and textile industry, this can help companies design products that will attract and retain key consumers, who increasingly demand knowledge of greater transparency in how their clothes and shoes are made. Using more sustainable materials will reduce the environmental impact of global manufacturing and help businesses stay relevant in today's marketplace of increasingly aware consumers.
The Higg MSI originated at Nike about a decade ago. In seeing the benefit global collaboration would bring ongoing development and industry-wide use of the Higg MSI, Nike contributed the tool to the SAC in 2012. Now one of the six tools comprising the Higg Index, the Higg MSI is considered the leading materials assessment tool for the industry. "The Higg MSI has helped us make better choices to reduce our product footprint by providing critical insight and transparency into materials and processing decisions," points out Joël Mertens, material technologies integrity engineer, MEC (Mountain Equipment Co-op).
Sean Cady, VP-Global Responsible Sourcing, VF Corp said, "Across VF Corp and our brands, we integrate material sustainability metrics into design decisions. The Higg MSI provides an objective, comparable metric, which informs our material choices and allows us to meet consumer expectation and brand promises."
The SAC's global members have demonstrated the apparel, footwear, and textile industry already trusts the science-backed data the Higg MSI offers. Kibbey adds, "Other industries have approached us about how they could use the Higg MSI, making us realize there is an opportunity to expand the tool's application in the coming months."

French author Annie Ernaux takes 2022 Nobel Prize in Literature
zaman.mk 06 October 2022 114
French author Annie Ernaux has been awarded the 2022 Nobel Prize in Literature "for the courage and clinical acuity with which she uncovers the roots, estrangements and collective restraints of personal memory," the Swedish Academy announced on Thursday.
A writer who focuses largely on autobiographical works, her first published work was "Les Amoires vides" (Cleaned Out).
In announcing the award, the academy noted the "universal consequence of her work that can reach everyone."
Academy secretary Mats Malm said he had not been able to reach Ernaux by phone before making the announcement.
The French author, who writes non-fiction as well as novels turning on everyday life, was chosen from a list of 233 candidates – the names on this longlist are kept secret. She was the bookmakers' favourite to take the prize last year.
Reviewing Ernaux's "Se perdre" (Getting Lost) for Britain's Guardian newspaper last month, the critic said the book would "become a kind of totem for lovers: a manual to help them find their centre when, like Ernaux, they are lost in love."
Last year the prize went to the relatively unkown Tanzanian author Abdulrazak Gurnah "for his uncompromising and compassionate penetration of the effects of colonialism and the fates of the refugee in the gulf between cultures and continents," in the words of the academy.
Louise Glück, who was US Poet Laureate in 2003 to 2004, received the 2020 prize.

Louisville seems to be overflowing with untapped talent in terms of playwrights. Considering the Humana Festival of New Plays, which brings in the upper crust of theater patrons from all around the world, The Bard's Town's Ten-Tucky Festival and The Derby City Playwrights, it's fair to assume you could throw a rock and hit a playwright. I, myself, have had original works performed as well. There is potential everywhere. At Commonwealth Theater Center, new work takes center stage with the annual Young Playwrights Festival.
Ten plays written by students of Walden Conservatory show range and depth from the young theater artists. According to the curtain speech by co-producers Keith McGill and Letitia Usher, these scripts were crafted by students in the fall of 2018 and the production give more power to students in terms of staging and acting. Some were funny, some were serious, and all were original. There are truly exceptional works in this festival that showcase points of view on important matters, perspective on comedy, and one of a kind plotlines.
The Engagement (written by Leilani Owen) is a delightful spin on the RomCom genre in which a young woman simultaneously longs for a marriage proposal and suspects her boyfriend of infidelity in the confines of a restaurant. Light comedic moments present themselves as the young woman's best friend poses as a waitress and deceives a cook. Bros Out of Time (written by Connor Madison) examines the what-ifs of young love. This play combines science fiction elements with nostalgia as a young boy yearns to finally ask out the girl of his dreams.
Subtitles Unavailable (written by Delaney Hildreth) spins genre conventions with a narrator in the throes of an existential crisis as he finds himself in a 90's sitcom instead of True Crimes style murder mystery. Roscoe Lindsey-Bruns is quite amusing as he struggles to maintain the narration and break the fourth wall before ultimately giving up. It's the twist at the end that really packs a punch with this work.
The first act includes two more comedic pieces with Mooove Over! (written by Leah Cohen), and Fresca Frat's Frightful Fun (Nixie Schweickert). Cohen's play pokes fun at Farmers Market culture with four vastly different market vendors and the competition that ensues. Although the plastic food fight and flimsy poster board set pieces were distracting, the food puns and ghee jokes were top rate material. Schweickert's absurd horror comedy about a middle-aged man attending a costume party was random and irreverent in its strongest moments. Ridiculous in nature, the timing and staging of each horrific moment felt hurried, and I wish we could have savored each before rushing to the next beat. Nevertheless, Nolan Brown's nerdy old man's appearance in a Forrest Gump hat was hilarious.
The second act presents strong works with BBBBB (written by Eli Turner) and The Enigmatic Intervention of Gary the Dinosaur (written by Zoe Peterson). Turner plays with both conventions of playwriting and the rules between a parent and her silly sons on their drive home from school. Taking each parental rule literally, Jackson Guarino-Sanders and Jack Scott as the sons that deliver up rich well-timed moments in this zany piece. Zoe Peterson proves to be the most valuable asset to this festival. Credited as a director, writer, and creator of the assorted video interludes, her best work arrives in Enigmatic Intervention of Gary the Dinosaur. Peterson's dark comedy about a beloved children's character with demons ends the night of plays on a high note as Gary the Dinosaur trounces and guffaws his way through a confrontation with his co-stars.
The festival presents heavier topics as well. It approaches a somber tone with the politically charged Mischief Thou Art Afoot (written by Sadie Lawrence and Oli Tierney), a message for change with Unified Sections of Ambrika (written by Jordan Moore), and call for acceptance with The Lucky One (written by Skye Shean). Lawrence and Tierney attempt their political satire by interweaving Shakespearean verse into a plan for impeaching a world leader as two secret agents debate assassination. A clever idea at best, this piece lacked subtlety and teetered on the edge of pretension. Shean's The Lucky One obtains a coming-of-age element as a young girl changes her mind about strangers and learns to change her mind about those who are different from her. Jordan Moore's Unified Sections of Ambrika stands out as a highlight of the evening. Set in a fictional country called Ambrika riddled by racism and injustice, a young girl restores her faith in the crumbling world around her with the help of a friend.

If you're looking to move to Pace, you better do it soon. The western gateway to Santa Rosa County is becoming the go-to city, particularly for young families.
Pace is unincorporated, but the latest Census figures report the population has skyrocketed over the last decade to more than 53,000 residents in the area surrounding Pace between the eastern banks of the Escambia River to Pond Creek and the northern side of Escambia Bay. These areas include the communities of Pace, Chumuckla, Floridatown, Pea Ridge, Wallace, Harp and Mulat.
Pace is considered by many to be one of the best places to live in Northwest Florida, and with the ongoing housing boom in the area it's hard to disagree. Its cutting-edge development philosophy and foresight have allowed the community to grow and prosper.
The strong education system in Santa Rosa County makes Pace a destination for young families.
The community has committed itself to development that does not compromise the natural beauty of the area. Neighborhoods are vital and diverse, and residents have ample choices in shopping and entertainment.
Pace is a stone's throw from all sorts of outdoor recreation spots. These include marinas, horse stables, parks, fishing camps and the beautiful Blackwater River State Park. There are also a state-of-the-art bowling alley and a movie theater.
Despite its fast growth, Pace has been able to maintain its relaxing hometown atmosphere, commitment to providing outstanding schools, hospitals and ancillary emergency medical services, and its development of beautiful and functional neighborhoods.
As the area continues to grow, the demands placed on Pace's community leaders, chamber of commerce members and community representatives have been to create not only a sustainable and viable plan for the area's expansion but one that also contains as part of its underpinning a strong commitment to stewardship — not only to the land but to the area's resources. The community has committed itself to development that does not compromise the natural beauty of the area. Neighborhoods are vital and diverse, and residents have ample choices in shopping and entertainment.
On West Spencer Field Road is the Benny Russell Memorial Park, which is a truly extraordinary playground for children. The construction of this park was a community effort, and it now draws visitors from Pensacola and other communities nearby.
Pace is also conveniently located between Milton and Pensacola, giving community members access to the regional airport, the Milton Riverwalk and hundreds of choices for entertainment, fine or casual dining and top-of-the-line shopping choices. For residents of this relaxed community, it's just enough city and just enough country — the best of both worlds.

Luis Alfonso, Simón, José Villarreal Death Sentence: Malaysia Confirms Penalty Of Mexican Brothers For Smuggling Meth
Cedar Attanasio | Apr 23 2015, 10:51AM EDT
Mexican brothers Simon Gonzalez Villarreal (2nd L), Jose Regino (3rd L) and Luis Alfonso (behind) leave the courthouse under the guard of prison personnel after their appeal hearing in Putrajaya, outside Kuala Lumpur August 14, 2013. A Malaysian court on Wednesday rejected the acquittal application filed by three Mexicans who face the death penalty after they were convicted of drug trafficking last year. Brothers Jose Regino Gonzalez Villareal, Simon Gonzalez Villareal and Luis Alfonso Gonzalez Villareal were arrested with Singaporean Lim Mun Wang and a Malaysian, Lee Boon Sian with 29 kg (64lbs) of methamphetamine and possible drug-making equipment in a factory in Southern Malaysia's Johor state. All five were sentenced to death in May last year. REUTERS/Bazuki Muhammad
Malaysia's Federal Tribunal confirmed on Thursday that three Mexican brothers convicted of drug trafficking will be sentenced to death. The brother's legal representatives had tried a final appeal against the sentence, but they have exhausted their legal options. Police busted brothers Luis Alfonso, 47, Simon, 40 and Jose Regino Gonzalez Villarreal, 37, along with a Malaysian and a Singaporean man, in 2008. All three Mexican men are from Sinaloa, Mexico. They were smuggling 29 kg (64lbs) of meth in the Malaysian city of Johor Bahru. The mandatory sentence for drug trafficking in Malaysia is death by hanging.
"Our decision is unanimous. Appeal dismissed against all five defendants. Conviction and sentence affirmed," Federal Court justice Zulkefli Ahmad Makinudin told the court in Putrajaya, Malaysia.
In a statement from the Secretary of External Relations (SRE), the Mexican government explained that it had worked hard to ensure that the men were treated well and had access to legal assistance during their 7 years in prison, including several in-person visits from Mexican officials and family members. In the statement, Mexico decried the imposition of a death sentence and reaffirmed its opposition to capital punishment in all countries. Mexico is one of the 153 countries who have banned capital punishment or haven't used it in the past ten years. It's last civilian execution was carried out in 1937.
The death penalty is prominent through Southeast Asia, where executions of foreigners is a constant strain on international relations. In January, Indonesia executed a Brazilian man on drug trafficking charges, causing a row between the two countries. Brazil stalled credentials for an Indonesian ambassador, and President Dilma rousseff announced that while she respected Indonesia's sovereignty, said that "the death penalty, which global society increasingly condemns, gravely affects relations." Execution of Mexican nationals has also strained relations between Mexico and the U.S., one of the few countries in the Western Hemisphere that still uses the death penalty. Mexico successfully stayed 5 executions of it's citizens after suing through the International Court of Justice in 2005, but that order was overturned by the U.S. Supreme court in 2008

Интрамаммарный секс (от  «внутри» +  «молочная железа») — вид сексуального контакта без проникновения, заключающийся в стимуляции полового члена мужчины посредством возвратно-поступательных движений между молочными железами женщины. При этом женщина может сжимать грудь для дополнительной стимуляции пениса партнёра. Интрамаммарный секс может сочетаться с минетом, быть отдельным половым актом или прелюдией.

Порноиндустрия
В порнографических роликах и фильмах интрамаммарный секс с последующим семяизвержением называется «жемчужное ожерелье».

Безопасность
Интрамаммарный секс снижает риск заражения инфекциями, передающимися половым путём, и позволяет избежать нежелательной беременности. В том случае, если стимуляция оказывается достаточно сильной, мужчина может испытывать ощущения, схожие с вагинальным сексом.

La chiesa di San Giovanni Battista è la parrocchiale di Marcaria, in provincia e diocesi di Mantova; fa parte del vicariato foraneo Santa Famiglia di Nazareth.

Storia
La primitiva pieve di Marcaria, posta presso il cimitero, viene menzionata per la prima volta nel 1037 come plebs de Marcareia . Nel XVI secolo fu edificata una nuova chiesa nel centro del paese e la parrocchialità fu ivi trasferita. L'attuale parrocchiale venne costruita tra l'agosto del 1708 ed il dicembre del 1722. L'edificio fu poi ristrutturato nel 1793. Da un documento redatto in quell'anno s'apprende che i fedeli erano 900, saliti a 1200 nel 1843 e scesi a 1162 nel 1900. Nel frattempo, all'inizio del XIX secolo, era stato edificato il campanile e nel 1887 la chiesa, dopo essere stata a capo del vicariato di Marcaria per secoli, passò a quello di Campitello, per poi venir riaggtegata al vicariato d'origine nel 1894. Nel 1967 il vicariato di Marcaria fu nuovamente soppresso e la chiesa risulta attualmente compresa nel vicariato della Santa Famiglia di Nazareth. Tra il 1979 ed il 1980 il tetto dell'edificio fu restaurato. Il terremoto dell'Emilia del 2012 danneggiò la chiesa, e, allora, si rese necessaria una ristrutturazione, terminata il 2 settembre 2017 con la riapertura al culto della parrocchiale.

How Wars and Disasters Fuel Child Labor
Reading time: (Number of words: )
Hazrat Hussain, 10, loads bricks onto a truck. Hazrat doesn't go to school and works alongside his two teenage brothers at a brick kiln outside Kabul.

Rahimullah, a 15-year-old Afghan boy, told Human Rights Watch last year that he has worked as a brick maker for five years, working from 4:00 a.m. until nightfall.
"My smaller siblings also work," he said. "When they turn five, they start working... It's not just one thing we do; there are a lot of things to do in the brick business – go clear the ground, take the shovel, bring the pickaxe, do this thing, bring me the bucket… the point is, everyone works."
In Afghanistan, years of armed conflict have fueled poverty, and by extension, child labor. At least a quarter of Afghan children aged five to 14 work to support their families – often for long hours and with little or no pay.
This year's World Day against Child Labor focuses on the impact of conflict and natural disasters on the issue. About 250 million children live in areas affected by armed conflict, and another 70 million are affected by natural disasters. In total, 168 million children around the world are pressed into child labor.
In conflicts and disasters, parents may lose their jobs, and schools may be destroyed. With few other options, children often begin working. Migrant and refugee children are especially vulnerable to child labor. Children can end up separated from their parents, and need to support themselves, or may feel pressure to help support their families. For example, around 60 percent of Syrian refugee families in Jordan rely on money earned by children, due to inadequate aid and dwindling family funds.
Desperate economic circumstances often lead to child labor, but putting kids to work is no solution to extreme poverty. In fact, research shows that child labor perpetuates poverty. Many children who work miss out on an education, and become less likely to find well-paying jobs as adults.
Kids shouldn't have to sacrifice their health, safety, and education to help their families make ends meet. Governments should make providing an education for children affected by war and disasters a top priority, and help their parents access decent work too. Urgent action is needed, so that children like Rahimullah can have the chance to just be a kid.

Written by Ernie Verslues on 14 December 2017 .
When MFA closed its books on the fiscal year that ended Aug. 31, 2017, we announced an after-tax profit of $10.2 million. That's a respectable return given the marketplace challenges that all of us in agriculture face right now.
The cyclical nature of agricultural isn't new. Like most Midwest farming operations, MFA's profitability rises and falls in tandem with commodity prices. But that doesn't mean we can be complacent. It's not good enough to say that a down cycle will run its course. We have to keep moving forward and seeking improvement to be sustainable for the long term.
MFA has been in business since 1914. We're proud of that longevity because it shows that we serve a purpose for our members, but a company that operates for such a long span also delivers some crucial lessons. From my perspective, time has proven that three core areas make MFA successful and will ensure our continued success. They are people, operations and financial strength.
It's not a coincidence that these ideas are covered in MFA's mission statement: We will generate profitable growth by empowering employees to provide value-added products, services and expertise for the benefit of our member-owners.
In this business, success is mutual, never one-sided.
On MFA's side of that relationship, we know that recruiting, hiring and retaining top-industry talent must remain a focus. We have stepped up efforts to deliver training to our workforce. As agriculture continues to evolve, our expertise must evolve with it.
From an operations standpoint, I will tell you that MFA is committed to long-term improvements. This past year, we opened the MFA Rail Facility in Hamilton in partnership with MFA Oil Company. That high-speed "loop-loader" will deliver efficiencies and marketing benefits throughout our grain system. We can't duplicate the handling speed and storage space we built at Hamilton, but we will continue to make improvements at key locations throughout MFA's service territory.
The products and services delivered by MFA continue to fulfill our mission to provide value-added products. From MorSoy and MorCorn to the latest technologies in crop protection, we know that our member-owners need long-term solutions that benefit their farms. That's something you have seen with MFA's precision programs. We were leaders in precision agriculture and developed programs that consider both profit and stewardship early on. The industry's current focus on putting the right product at the right rate, right time and right place has been MFA's goal for many years. We've also been a leader in the field crop data management that makes this approach possible.
In livestock, MFA's proprietary Shield Technology has given our member-owners an edge in production that other companies can't match. The MFA Health Track program continues to prove that our feed and health protocol can deliver better profits. This year we have a new partnership with ABS Global that adds another layer of value to Health Track calves. And we introduced PowerCalf, a data management tool that provides beef producers with information that will help drive profitability.
I mention here that we have been leaders in these areas because that's an essential function of your cooperative. It's an important part of our partnership with you.


SUBURBAN and country footy stars now have the chance to take on the AFL's fastest with a spot in the AFL Grand Final sprint up for grabs.
SUBURBAN and country footy stars now have the chance to test themselves against the AFL's fastest.
The AFL is giving registered players a chance to pit themselves against AFL stars on the biggest stage of all in the AFL Grand Final sprint.
Heats will be held in Melbourne, Sydney and Adelaide in August before the two fastest runners come together for the preliminary final during the EJ Whitten Legends Game on September 2.
North Melbourne's Majak Daw stormed home to win the sprint last season while past winners include Patrick Dangerfield, Brett Deledio and Brendan Fevola.
The fastest local footballer will also receive a $1000 donation to their local club.
As per last season, taxi drivers are also eligible to enter with the qualification process as local footballers.
Entries can be submitted on the AFL website.


Now, star of the movie Lindsay Lohan is keen for a second, regardless that there is a Mean Girls 2 (who even saw it anyway?).
On Tuesday, Lindsay took to her Instagram to ask the one and only Emma Stone to join her in bringing the sequel to life, and fam we're feeling this.
"Emma Stone, can we film a movie called Mean Girls 2 together?" her tweet read.
She also explained that Emma being in the movie (or the move happening at all) is her birthday wish - which is July 2.
