Let's face it. Every penny you invest in your business makes a dent in your profits, and if you're just starting out then you'll be even more protective of your outgoings. Even those that have been in growth businesses for years like to spend the minimum amount possible. But if you're operating from premises that have minimal or outdated security systems, then you're risking a lot more than just the few thousand dollars it costs to install a state-of-the art CCTV system from Complete Alarms.
You might be reading this because your insurance requires you to install an approved CCTV system, and if that's the case, then we can make sure you get the very best for your money.
CCTV for your business is a solution that can provide peace of mind in so many different ways. There are risks from within your business, such as workplace theft or EH&S issues, that you can protect yourself from with a well-fitted CCTV system. There are also the obvious risks surrounding your business environment, from fraud to criminal burglary. CCTV cameras at each entry point and across the premises provides protection for you, your assets and your employees.
As long as you can access the internet, you can keep an eye on your business from anywhere in the world with our remote access CCTV systems. We'll supply a monitor for you to use when you're inside your building, and all our CCTV systems come with iPhone and Android remote viewing platforms that enable you to be there, without being there – or disturbing your staff.
We have years of experience supplying hundreds of different businesses across Sydney, and we know what it takes to work with you to design a system that is tailor-made for your business needs. Every one of our packages comes fully fitted with no extra costs, and includes the remote viewing technology, infrared cameras so you can see everything day or night, as well as full HD and weatherproof equipment. The cameras can be placed anywhere, and you can have additional cameras on top of your package if you require.
Just because you are required to have a CCTV system, shouldn't mean you shouldn't be delighted with your investment. We can provide you with a free quote today, and be with you for a site visit tomorrow. Within a week or two you'll be up and running, and seeing all the benefits to security and peace of mind that a Complete Alarms system bring you.


Although it arose from the women's movement in several countries over 100 years ago, International Women's Day took on a life of its own in the Soviet Union. March 8 evolved from a day of action for equal rights into an occasion when men were expected (and often obligated) to show their appreciation with flowers and gifts. In this gallery of Soviet-era posters and cards, the focus varies widely, from women's achievements to colorful celebrations of spring, motherhood, and international friendship.
Some of the most compelling photographs from RFE/RL's coverage area and beyond for the ninth week of 2018.
Police in Kyiv have raided a protest camp near the national parliament building, sparking clashes with protesters. The press service of the National Guard said 50 people had been detained in the action close to the Verkhovna Rada in the Ukrainian capital early on March 3. A spokesman later told Ukrainian media that six protesters and four police officers had been injured in the unrest, although details were still sketchy. Police later said they had seized nine grenades, an unspecified number of Molotov cocktails, and five smoke bombs during the raid.
One Of The Worst Prisons You'll Ever See. It's In Ukraine.

Why I'm For the Riots
This is the script for my YouTube video of the same name. Although this was written to be heard, not read, I know some people would rather read than watch a video, so here you go.
I hate breaking things. I have always hated breaking things. As a child, I never tore open presents: I carefully undid the tape and saved the paper in a box. I never stomped on a sand castle, I never understood the people who did. I refused to break piñatas at parties, and nothing has changed: I currently have, in my possession, a piñata I bought for a party in 2011 that I couldn't bear to break because he was so cute. He's gone through six moves with me.
I bring this up because I've noticed that the first thing people say when I defend riots is "You just like to break things" and I need you to understand that it's not the case.
I hate the sound of broken glass. I hate watching quiet, clean spaces destroyed, goods smashed, serviceable things destroyed. I hate seeing Portland, this city that I love, crumbling a little bit more every night.
And yet I am here to tell you that I endorse these riots. Not to make excuses for riots. Not to tell you that tensions are running high and it's sad but understandable. I'm not here to tell you that it's a few bad actors: I've been at every Portland protest and although many members of these demonstrations want peace, many others want the destruction. No: I am here to endorse the riots: every shattered pane of glass, every fire, every instance of George Floyd's name spray-painted on the side of a building. And I am here to tell you why.
In order to understand why this is justice, we must first understand the exact problem these demonstrations address. Why is America exploding into chaos? Why, in the middle of a pandemic, are so many willing to risk not merely police brutality and arrest and mutilation but a deadly virus to come together in this way?
On May 25th, George Floyd attempted to buy cigarettes with what the clerk claims was a counterfeit $20 bill. It's worth noting that not everyone in possession of a counterfeit bill is a criminal mastermind: some of them just got fooled by a good counterfeit in a previous transaction. It's happened to plenty of people I know.
Nevertheless, the deli clerk decided to call the police, and we all know what happened next. A police officer knelt on George Floyd's neck while the man was handcuffed. Ordered him to get into the cop car while pinning him down and making that impossible, ignored Floyd as he begged for mercy and then became unresponsive. For nine minutes this torture continued, until Floyd died in agony and terror.
The murderer has since been arrested and for some, that seems like it ought to be the end of things. It's true that this killer has been arrested — on manslaughter charges. Manslaughter means accidental homicide, not the premeditated cruelty of continuing to asphyxiate a man for nine minutes as he becomes unresponsive. Consider also the fact that grand juries tend to exonerate the few murderous cops who are arrested. Consider also that the police coroner report claimed that Floyd died due to underlying medical conditions — a finding contradicted by an independent investigation that would never have happened without these ongoing demonstrations. The county coroner's false report exposes the ways in which the system has already begun to do what it does best: exonerate a badged killer once the news cycle has moved on.
The murderer, Derek Chauvin, had eighteen previous complaints filed against him during his time as an officer. Eighteen! Of those, only two resulted in any disciplinary actions: two letters of reprimand. One of the officers who stood silent while Chauvin murdered a man in broad daylight had six complaints, one of which remains open, and faced a 2017 lawsuit for police brutality. And yet both of these men were permitted to go on wearing their badges and carrying guns, permitted to continue serving on the force, would presumably still be serving if not for the clear footage of Floyd's death and the protests that began when no arrests were made.
These officers knew from experience that brutality carries no serious repercussions. And that knowledge speaks to a problem far beyond the individuals involved with Floyd's death. It speaks to systemic problems within the Minneapolis police system. A culture of permissiveness when it comes to brutality. An absolute refusal to take this issue seriously unless forced by mass protests and mass demonstrations.
It is not enough for Floyd's killer and the accomplices of his murder to be arrested and punished. A first-degree murder charge would not be enough. Reformation of the way policemen are tried for murder is not enough. We cannot go on living in a society where the only way police receive justice after brutally murdering a man is with mass demonstrations, where only police whose murders are recorded by a third party face the threat of jail. The Minneapolis police department is fundamentally broken.
This problem is not confined to Minneapolis police departments. Across the nation, police departments have the same culture, the same problem. This story is intimately familiar to anyone who has watched the news for the past few years, and even more familiar to the black members of your community who remember all the murders that went unreported, the brutality that happened off-camera or away from media attention. I listened, here in Portland, as black person after black person stepped forward and shared their memories of police brutality, police murder, police aggression merely for being black and existing in the neighborhood where they were born. Go listen to the black people in your community and I guarantee they will tell you the same story.
We have nationwide protests because this is a nationwide problem, because the problem is the police. A modern institution, not part of America from the beginning: an institution that evolved in large part from Southern slave patrols. An institution with a culture of brutality and of silence surrounding that brutality. Eighteen complaints and two letters of reprimand: this story repeats in every precinct in America, this story speaks to a moral rot that reaches to the very heart of the organization. Every police officer in America serves side-by-side with someone who abuses that power, every police officer is complicit in a culture of authoritarian brutality. When protesters chant "All Cops are Bastards," this is what they mean: if you wish to cease being a bastard, take off the uniform and break your silence.
Because the police motto is not a lie: they do in fact protect and serve. But who? A simple answer would be "white people," or "the middle and upper class." As with everything in politics, it's complicated. The point is: police serve some of us but not all of us. They are the enforcement arm of a society not fundamentally opposed to their methods or targets, a society in which the presence of authoritarian brutality is automatically accepted by those who never have to experience it. This type of white supremacy is baked into American culture: not the neo-nazi, swastika-wearing, conscious white supremacy we think of when we hear that term but the subconscious and unexamined worldview that formulates white as normal and black as other; white as belonging and black as outsider. White as safe and black as unsafe. White as "us" and black as "them."
We do not decide to think these things or want to see the world this way: we were raised in this cesspit, we have absorbed it, I know that I will never fully be rid of it. Changing something so ingrained, so accepted, so normal means moving against the weight of history and the weight of self-identity. Of mass acknowledgement that despite our best efforts, we carry inside us unconscious and insidious racism: bequeathed unto us by our fathers, a curse we did not ask for but bear regardless.
How do we solve this?
We cannot, we should not be able to bear to be a part of such a system: a self-enforcing system of prejudice and brutalization and an entire underclass of people. It has to stop. We must take action, we must begin the long and agonizing process of cutting into the body politic and excising the cancer that has eaten at its heart since its very founding.
But why riots? Are riots really the best way to change things? Aren't they counter-productive? Why can't we demonstrate peacefully?
I have seen people at these protests — fully-committed, authentic members of the movements, black and otherwise — who are against violence, rioting, and looting for this very reason. There are also fully-committed, authentic members of the movement of all races who endorse the riots. I do not, cannot, speak for any of them. I speak only for myself.
And I have sat at home and watched every other means fail. I have watched as many members of the middle and upper classes, many white people, decry any level of protest as counterproductive and inappropriate. I have watched as they denounced Colin Kaepernik for politicizing football, celebrities for politicizing art, peaceful protests for being rude and blocking traffic. They have asked nicely. They have tried to do it your way. And none of it has worked.
Here, in 2020, we see the final result of working quietly within the system: a choice, in November, between an authoritarian monster — a racist whose top-level officials forward articles from alt-right news sources and push alt-right immigration policy — and on the other ticket, one of the chief architects of America's mass incarceration system, the one that imprisons black people at far higher rates than white people for the same crimes and tears apart black families: the new Jim Crow.
One of these options is worse than the other, but neither option offers hope for meaningful reform capable of addressing even a fraction of the problems I just outlined.
"But riots harm public opinion!" you say, as though public opinion has changed a goddamn thing about this mess, as though any of the many previous efforts to cultivate public opinion have resulted in any kind of meaningful reduction in police murder
"But the businesses whose windows are smashed: they didn't do anything! They aren't racists. They aren't the problem."
And here's where we get to the heart of it. The heart of why I endorse these riots, why I hope they continue until we see meaningful change.
Because I don't know what it's like to be a black person in America. I never will. I can listen to these stories all day, I can immerse myself in them, and they will never be more than that to me: stories. They will never be more powerful to my heart than my own lived experiences, my own memories of the world.
And all those memories are the memories of a person who looks white and female. Protests aside, all of my memories of cops are positive. Cops might give me a ticket but they will never threaten my life and often let me off with a warning and a smile. Cops come to my house when some young punks destroy every mailbox on the suburban street I used to live on and take a police report and assure me they take this crime seriously. Cops are there to help if I'm afraid walking home at night, there to give me directions if I get lost. Cops never ask me what I'm doing in a neighborhood, never follow me for no reason, never pull me over because I look suspicious. I have never — not once — been afraid for my life in the presence of a cop.
For me, the status quo is bearable. I might feel bad for black people, these stories might disturb me to my core, but I have no skin in this game. If things continue as they are, I can live and die in relative comfort. This is not life and death for me, nor is it life or death for anyone else of my upbringing and skin tone.
Riots change that equation.
Riots put everyone's skin in the game. Riots are a message, born of desperation, delivered to those who have consistently refused to listen to anything else. We will not help them? We will not fix this? We will write op-eds and make angry Facebook posts and attend vigils every time a cop kills a black person, but stop short of meaningfully demanding actual change, treating it with the same urgency we would treat a disaster that befell us personally? Then perhaps we must suffer, perhaps we must face material consequences for our complicity. Perhaps the only way to move America in a positive direction, perhaps the only way to fix this, is to create a situation where the status quo is untenable. Where your favorite store lies gutted, where you cannot go to Target because the store got looted, where you are afraid to live in a city that has become foreign to you, a city you always felt you belonged in.
A riot says, you cannot return to normal. We will not allow you to return to normal. We will make normal as unbearable for you as it is for us.
I don't want Portland to be a city of broken windows. I want it to be a city of beauty: of the smell of rain and flowers, of sunshine in the summer and the sound of street musicians. I want it to be a place my dog can walk without stepping on glass, I want it to be a place I feel safe, where benevolence reigns, where I can work and be productive and go to bars and see concerts, and I want it to be that way for every single goddamn person who walks into this city. I want the Portland I experience to be the Portland every single person experiences. Black, brown, white, yellow: we all deserve to live in the same beautiful world, instead of a segregated reality where the spaces that welcome me are hostile to others.
And I will go out on the streets, I will run with the looters and challenge the cops, I will learn to walk through tear gas and I will stand strong while the flash bang falls, I will march beside my fellow humans every night I can until we fix this. Until the people in power come to the table ready to talk, in earnest, about what it would take for the riots to stop, about how to fix America.
And I hope you'll join me.

Oh Good, Another Potentially Racist Revisionist History Show
David Benioff and DB Weiss, the showrunners of Game of Thrones, are set to make an alternate reality show called confederate. It will be a drama in which the South succeeded in seceding from the Union, and slavery in the South is alive and well.
My initial response was, "NOOOOOPE". Titties and dragons is one thing, but Titties and GRAND Dragons? That's the damn line. How much more alternate reality torture porn can one consume? The Man in the High Castle is still on, for crying out loud, and I just finished watching The Handmaid's Tale! And what about all the romanticized visions of the Civil War and its after effects? Do we need another Gone with the Wind, or a Birth of a Nation (both the rapey one AND the rapey one)?Are we not sick of seeing subjugated minorities be even more subjugated? No thanks!
But then I remembered that I had finished reading Underground Airlines. It's a book by Ben H. Winters about an alternative reality in which the South succeeded in seceding from the Union, and slavery in the South is alive and well. The Underground Railroad has taken to the skies. The main character is a double-agent; trying to join the Airlines, but he's part of an agency that catches escaped slaves. He's working to earn his freedom by finding others who tried to steal theirs. There were so many twists and turns, I have barely told you a thing about it. It was goooood.
I can't forget that I read Lovecraft Country by Matt Ruff. this was a sci-fi that married the very real horrors and hazards of traveling through the country while black with fantastical Lovecraftian horrors. It even referenced the Negro Motorist Green Book, known in the novel as the Negro Safe Travel Guide.
I also have The Underground Railroad by Colson Whitehead on deck. That's an alternative HISTORY narrative about an ACTUAL subterranean train that is the Underground Railroad. That's all I know about it. I don't care. I read The Intuitionist, so I know it is going to be good.
ALSO, it is not like this is an original idea. One of the first things I saw on streaming Netflix was a movie called c.S.A: confederate States of America. It was a mockumentary by British filmmakers who went to a South that not only rose the first time; it took over the entire country. One drop rules were in place. Lincoln lived in exile in Canada. The Harlem renaissance was the Toronto Renaissance, because that was where blacks escaped slavery. Movie was broken up by "commercials" that advertised actual products with egregiously racist names. As if the idea of the story weren't scary enough, the reality of the historical facts gave me nightmares. I would suggest that everyone watch that.
That initial "NOOOOOOPE" was a knee-jerk reaction. Notice that the aforementioned narratives are all created by people of color, except for Matt Ruff, although he IS from Queens...but so it 45, so...I may also be a little bit salty over Underground being cancelled earlier this year. I know a lot of folks think this is a terrible idea, given the political climate. Also, we have enough films that depict black bodies being tormented at the hands of white oppressors, made by both black and white filmmakers. 12 Years a Slave was my limit, and I liked that movie, but I cannot see it again. Now you tell me that two white guys behind Game of Thrones, the show whose first 3 seasons guaranteed gratuitous full frontal nudity and usually subsequent horrid brutalization of women in nearly every episode, are making a romanticized modern slave narrative? It just sounds like a bad idea…
However, Weiss and Benioff hired two writers that give me a little hope: Nichelle Tramble Spellman and Malcolm Spellman. Nichelle wrote for The Good Wife and The Good Wife, and Malcolm wrote for Empire. Whatever you think of these shows, you must admit that they all were a whirlwind of action and drama. Both of them are black, and Nichelle is a woman, and I would think that their perspectives would be well reflected in what they write. Also, the executive producers will be Carolyn Strauss and Bernadette Caulfield, who produced Game of Thrones. So we may not see a Dukes of Hazzard situation, where you want to root hard for the protagonists, but for that fucking American swastika on that fucking car roof.
Who knows if confederate will be good and interesting, or if it will be a masturbatory fantasy fiction for white supremacists history revisionists and confederate apologists who parrot, "Heritage not Hate", when we all know that the heritage WAS hate. They won't start filming until the end of Game of Thrones. Given their backup team, I would hope that this will be a cool anti-confederate saboteur film in which a female black descendant of Robert E. Lee topples the country…given that it's GoT showrunners, I guess a boob here or there, but an empowered breast, not slave breasts. The ball is in their court, though. They'd better not fuck this up.

The Battle of the Marts, Part I: In pocketbooks and (mostly) hearts.
The Indianapolis Business Journal recently announced that Felbram Plaza on the near south side had secured a new anchor tenant, in a space last occupied by Target. The tenant, Shoppers World, is a discount department store with one location in the region at the Lafayette Square Mall. These are the first two Shoppers Worlds in the Midwest; all other locations of this small chain are concentrated in the Mid-Atlantic.
This announcement is a boon to an inner-ring suburban area of town that has seen more than its share of businesses depart over the past few years. Frankly, I was surprised when I heard the news. After all, it was previously a Target—one of the supreme leaders of suburban big boxes—that last occupied this spot, and it probably survived far longer than anyone expected, in a neighborhood that had shed much of its middle class two decades prior. Even in these dusky photos, the painted-over labelscar is still largely visible.
Target's inevitable closure of the branch raises some important questions about the much-loved chain. Unlike its chief competitor, Wal-Mart, Target has overwhelmingly escaped the ire of urban middle-class "progressives," who routinely disparage the world's single largest retailer for its low wages at long hours, meager benefits, stubborn resistance to employee attempts to unionize, and reliance on Asian sweatshop labor to keep its prices so low (it long ago reneged on its original "Made in America" pledge). Entire websites such as Wal-Mart Watch and Wake Up Wal-Mart or the 2005 documentary Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price demonstrate the considerable energy, time, and money that labor unions and other advocacy groups have devoted to disseminating information on Wal-Mart's exploitative workplace practices. The company, on average, receives multiple new lawsuits daily. According to a study by students at Columbia and Stanford Universities, in recent years, over 35% of Wal-Mart's proposed openings have met with potent community resistance. Target, a chief competitor of Wal-Mart in every regard, avoids most if not all of this controversy. Perhaps because it abides by a more communitarian business model, because it offers better wages and benefits, because its growth strategy is less aggressive, because its product line clearly targets middle class consumers in metropolitan areas who are willing to pay a bit more for a stylish appearance, perhaps because the aisles and shelves in the stores just look better maintained—all of these factors, and many more, contribute to the fact that Target has become the widely respected (or at least minimally disliked) antithesis of the toxic Wal-Mart.
I find some of the Target-love a bit disingenuous. While I can concede that Target aims for and generally hits the bull's-eye (target?) on the yuppie worldview, it continues to lack labor unions, and it somehow manages even to dodge one of the biggest cudgels frequently swung at Wal-Mart: that the mega-box effectively destroys communities by killing off the local retail. Even in small communities, the company has routinely abandoned its smaller, 1980s prototypes to build a larger Supercenter just a half-mile down the road. So after it has already shifted the center of retail activity away from the town center, it creates a second void through a new store. But is Target really that irreproachable in this regard? Felbram Plaza on the near south-side of Indianapolis would suggest otherwise. Target is just as happy to roll along with the decentralizing tide as Wal-Mart. Aside from Felbram Plaza, it has vacated store fronts in the inner-ring suburban regions of Indianapolis on the near east and near west sides as well. While the vacant Target on the near east side found a tenant in yet another discount furniture store, the near west side target still looks like this:
Hundreds of thousands of motorists along I-465 have seen this eyesore of a former Target, in its current condition for over a decade! The popular term for one of these long-vacant big boxes is a grayfield, a visual pollutant to complement the ecologically deleterious brownfields. Here on the west side, the Target Corporation sought greener pastures further out in the suburb of Plainfield. On the southside, it had already found two other flourishing locations before it put the kibosh on the one at Felbram Plaza. To a certain degree, Target is just behaving like any corporation in pursuit of its own best interest: if the net sales per square foot at the stores featured in the above photos was significantly lower than average (and, based on the income levels of the surrounding neighborhoods, the sales probably were quite low), it was only natural for the company to fold its underperforming branches. Besides, both locations were old, small, faded-looking, and poorly suited for an expansion or upgrade. Yet exurban coalitions often rally to attract a new Target location, sometimes even asserting it will boost property values, while simultaneously fighting new Wal-Marts, tooth and nail. Both companies effectively kill mom-and-pop stores through their ability to shove everything under one roof at bargain prices. Over the past few decades, both have followed inordinately successful business models, with rarely flagging quarterly increases in profits. But only Wal-Mart gets kicked around for doing so.
Part of it comes from a particularly nuanced interpretation of the old "location, location, location" maxim. When juxtaposed, the two Marts often compete fiercely as parallel discount superstores; Target usually wins the crowd with greater education and disposable incomes—after all, its prices are slightly higher. But Target also seems choosier with location: the corporation claims approximately 1700 stores, a pittance compared to Wal-Mart's over 8000 retail units internationally and over 3600 in the US alone. From a drive across rural America one can surmise that if a community has over 10,000 people, Wal-Mart has probably scoped it for a location. If the nearest similarly sized settlement is more than 10 miles away, Wal-Mart has probably found a site in that town of 10,000 or more. They are omnipresent. Target is unlikely to break ground in communities under 40,000—in major metro areas, they pop up with about half the frequency of Wal-Marts. One person recently observed that a metro area will usually have as many Wal-Marts as it has public high schools. Yet Wal-Marts, for all their ubiquity, are rare in the nation's largest, highest density big cities. Chicago has only one. San Francisco, Boston, and New York City have none. Conversely, Target has effectively assimilated into a number of urban settings, including a flagship store downtown in its home city of Minneapolis.
Why has Target successfully expanded into high density urban settings when Wal-Mart is scarcely visible? No doubt that some of Wal-Mart's apprehension to enter urban centers comes from its clearly promoted business mission: "Saving people money so they can live better." Land costs in big cities are often prohibitively expensive and incompatible with Wal-Mart's relentless pursuit of rock-bottom prices. It is also harder for the company to assemble parcels large enough for its sprawling Supercenters in urban settings, and the lack of available surface pavement hinders the efficient, cheap unloading of merchandise from trucks. Conversely, Target's slightly higher prices have enabled it to experiment routinely with more vertical configurations, with sites in Chicago's South Loop (store stacked atop the parking lot), Washington DC's Columbia Heights (two floors of a multi-tenant building filled with suburban big box stores), and a two-story Target in eminently suburban Metairie, Louisiana. Wal-Mart has ventured into vertical structures in a few select locations on the East and West Coast, but its identity remains wedded to the titanic suburban boxes with parking in front.
While land costs may contribute much to Wal-Mart's avoidance of dense, urban settings, demographics also play a huge role in this sensitivity to location. The Columbia/Stanford report on opposition to Wal-Mart observed that only about one-third of all of the proposed Wal-Marts that face stringent community resistance end up successfully breaking ground—usually the execs at Wal-Mart surrender and look elsewhere to build. Powerful union organizers have successfully blocked the company's entrance within city limits, but they alone cannot explain Wal-Mart's struggles to expand into big cities, since the non-union Target Corporation has opened flourishing branches, even in places like Manhattan. The New York Times has cited the CEO of Wal-Mart, who observed that the urban, affluent New Yorkers/San Franciscans/Chicagoans serve as the greatest barrier to entry in these fashionable urban centers: "You have people who are just better than us and don't want a Wal-Mart in their community."
Perhaps the Wal-Mart leadership has shrewdly overplayed the cultural elitism of Manhattanites, turning the tables on the on a segment of the population who perceives itself to be champions of the working class, by reconfiguring the urban progressives within the socioeconomic context they have created; now they are the colossal snobs. Target undoubtedly provides a cleaner looking, more aesthetically pleasing environment than Wal-Mart in which to shop and work. But Target still sells cheaply made products from Asian sweatshops; the biggest difference is that its cheap products are designed by people like Michael Graves. As is often the case, hierarchies of collective taste affect corporate location decisions far more than mere infrastructure. All it takes is another scan of the responses to the Consumerist article mentioned earlier: it's amazing how many rationalizing back flips people will perform in order to argue that Target is good and Wal-Mart bad, in an attempt to objectify their own personal preferences. But these taste hierarchies exert the powerful influence on land values that determine which parts of a metro exude fashionable urban chic (and are uniformly free of Wal-Marts), which are the blighted and depopulating inner city, and which are like Felbram Plaza on the near south side of Indy—a social and physical environment that is difficult to pin exactly, but clearly doesn't work for either Target or Wal-Mart. Hopefully the new store, Shoppers World, will have better luck.
I'm sure to provoke with this posting; as always, comments are welcome. In Part II I will explore another high-profile discount mega-mart that may very well be carving its own niche by boldly venturing in to territory that Target and Wal-Mart shun. And I promise the photo series won't be so drab.
Labels: blight, decentralization, Indiana, Indianapolis, retail, taste culture
You have some great points that I have never crossed my apparently biased mind. I do avoid Wal-Mart due to their issues, but frequent Target instead. I feel like there are more Target stores than Wal Mart stores in Indianapolis, but including the metro area, that change things.

In Indy, Target acquired the former "Ayr-Way" Discount Department store division of Ayres in the late 1970s. Many of the now-vacant locations you cite are the former Ayr-Ways.
Further, there's probably less antipathy toward Target because it is the offspring and corporate successor of the Dayton-Hudson department store chain. They're not the discounter from the south that came to devour local businesses; they're the next evolution of the department store that's always been in our malls. Their merchandising and merchandise mix has been decidedly more upscale the past 10 years or so. (Michael Graves, etc.)
Plus, unlike Walmart, they don't use people in their ads that have deep-Tennessee accents. Let's face it: to most Northern ears, South-Central US accents don't sound educated. Unfair, but unfortunately true.
Thanks as always for your comments. I will be "tracking" the numbers of Targets vs. Wal-Marts in an upcoming post.
Thundermutt, I think you're right about the Targets being former Ayr-Ways, though that is before my time. Just a mile south of Felbram Plaza is another old big box that hosts a rarely open Flea Market; at its peak it was part of the long defunct Zayre's chain, I believe.
I'd agree that Target has in recent years pursued a loftier fashion ambition than Wal-Mart, particularly in clothing lines. (And the ad campaign for Target has been nothing less than brilliant.) Not sure the clothes, housewares, and other gadgets at Target are any higher quality than Wal-Mart though. The Scandinavian sensibilities that permeate Target earn justifiable comparisons to IKEA: sleek-looking products that are still likely to fall apart after three years.
I still think cultural snobbery plays a big part in aversion to Wal-Mart, and it could have something to do with its Ozark roots. I'm not familiar with accents on TV commercials, but I have no doubt you're right. Wal-Mart has made "progressive" concessions to its urban constituents, such as stormwater management, vegetated roofs, and comprehensive recycling, but it still hasn't been enough for the greens to oppose them at every turn.
Many former Targets are indeed form Ayr-Way stores - that is certainly true for the location near 6900 N Michigan Road (Westlane Shopping Center). A lot of the antipathy WalMart gets is because it is the largest. If Target was the largest retailer, it would get it instead. Thirty years ago McDonald's received the same kind of antipathy, even though most of its fast food brethren were not much better in the business practices nor the healthfullness of their food.
Thanks for the input Mark--I think you're dead on. I think Target rose from the ashes Ayr-Ways all across the Indianapolis metro--including the one at the County Line Mall featured in one of my most recent posts.

NOIDA: Days after a Kashmiri youth went missing from a private university in Uttar Pradesh, social media posts carrying purported pictures of him claimed that he had joined terrorists ranks in the Valley.
He went missing on October 28 after he left the varsity with official permission to go to Delhi, days after he was mistakenly roughed up during a scuffle between Indian and Afghan students in the campus.
A missing complaint was registered in the case at the Knowledge Park police station in Greater Noida as well as at Khanyar police station in Srinagar, officials said.
Former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Omar Abdullah said that reports claiming a Kashmiri student joining terrorist ranks in the Valley were "hugely worrying".
"If this is genuine (social media post about Sofi joining terrorists ranks), it's hugely worrying. Sometimes seemingly small actions have huge consequences (sic)," Abdullah wrote on Twitter.
"If what happened to him at Sharda University has lead him to choose such a destructive path it's even more tragic. One more life on the path to ruin & one more family in turmoil (sic)," Abdullah tweeted.
The pictures on social media showed Sofi dressed in a black outfit and claimed he had joined terrorists group ISJK, an outfit influenced by ISIS ideology.
The UP Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS) said it has been tracking the case since October 28 and has taken cognisance of the photos.
"We are in touch with Jammu and Kashmir police. We are tracking the footprints of the boy from Greater Noida to Kashmir," Inspector General, ATS, Asim Arun told PTI.
The Jammu and Kashmir police said they were "ascertaining" Sofi's presence in the Valley.
The Gautam Buddh Nagar police, who had traced the last location of Sofi's mobile phone to terrorism-hit Pulwama district in South Kashmir, is also probing the matter.
"A missing complaint was registered and police teams are working on the case," a senior official told PTI.
According to the police here, Sofi had left for Srinagar from Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport in the afternoon of October 28 and reached Pulwama a few hours later.
They said his mobile phone details showed that he last spoke to his father, who lives in Srinagar, at 4.30 pm, when his location was traced to Pulwama.
However, he had told his father that he was is Delhi and was returning to the university by metro, the police said.


Using dozens of practical examples from the worlds of business, politics, science, sports, literature, even parenting, esteemed economist John Kay makes an argument that feels at once paradoxical and deeply commonsensical: The best way to achieve any complex or broadly defined goal — from happiness to wealth to profit to preventing forest fires — is the indirect way.
In the decades after World War II, Boeing had one overriding purpose: to make the best, most advanced planes. In the words of Bill Allen, Boeing CEO from 1946 to 1968, the purpose of Boeing was to "eat, breathe and sleep the world of aeronautics." By the early 1990s, Boeing was the world's dominant civil aviation company. Under new CEO Phil Condit, however, the goal of the company changed dramatically. Success was now defined in terms of profits, not aviation. "We are going into a value based environment where unit cost, return on investment, shareholder return are the measures by which you'll be judged," Condit explained. "That's a big shift."
In the years that followed, Boeing lost its lead in civil aviation to rival Airbus, the stock market turned sour on the company and, in 2003, Condit was forced out. Boeing returned to aeronautics and aviation goals, and, with the success of the new 777 and with the groundbreaking Dreamliner on the horizon, the company was soon putting itself once again in position to dominate the world aviation industry.
In short, when Boeing focused on aviation, it was a profitable and successful company. When it focused solely on financial measures, its bottom line suffered.
Why are companies who have the No. 1 goal of making profits often unprofitable? And why, paradoxically, are companies who have different, more qualitative goals often quite profitable? The answer, writes London School of Economics professor John Kay in his new book, Obliquity, is simply stated: broadly defined or complex goals are best achieved indirectly — a phenomenon that Kay terms "obliquity."
For example, in the same way that the most profitable companies are not those whose goal is to pursue profit, the wealthiest individuals are mostly those who are less interested in pursuing wealth. Their wealth is a byproduct of a different mission. Henry Ford was passionate about cars and bringing cars to a mass market. Sam Walton wanted to build the world's best retail company. Bill Gates was fascinated by the potential of computing to change people's lives. Their No. 1 mission was not to become rich — although they all amassed fortunes.
Obliquity is not an argument that goals are useless — that you never reach what you strive for. Instead, Kay explains, obliquity is the recognition that we cannot plan and control every step of a path toward a complex goal.
Broad, complex objectives are achieved through a process of risk-taking, experimentation and discovery, a continuous circle of learning and adaptation.
The direct approach doesn't work, Kay writes, for a variety of reasons. One reason is what he terms "pluralism." There is often more than one answer to a problem. Also, most real-life, high-level objectives problems are broadly defined and can't be broken down in advance into specific goals or actions. There are many paths to building a successful business or even becoming financially secure. A third issue with the pre-planned, direct approach is the unpredictability of interactions with others. Will others react as we plan for them to react? Probably not.
In the final section of the book, Kay lays out some of the ways we can use the concept of obliquity to make better decisions and to solve problems more effectively. For example, make a determined commitment to overall high-level objectives, but do not stubbornly cling to specific intermediate or basic goals or actions. Franklin D. Roosevelt achieved two major objectives: preparing for and leading his country to victory in World War II, and securing the survival of American capitalism through the New Deal. He achieved those high-level objectives, Kay writes, "through pragmatic improvisions in the face of circumstances that neither he nor his outstanding advisers could predict or control."
Another application of the concept of obliquity is to admit that we cannot know everything about a situation. Both Warren Buffett and George Soros are legendary investors, but both acknowledge that they cannot plan for investment success. "In many industries," writes Buffett, "I cannot be sure if we are dealing with a 'pet rock' or a 'Barbie.'"
Intellectually stimulating and filled with vivid, pertinent examples, Obliquity is a thoughtful analysis of how the world truly operates.

Now reading: The Wedding That Became A Symbol Of Hope For Black Lives Matter
Dr Kerry-Anne Gordon and
her husband Michael
on their wedding day
THE WEDDING THAT BECAME A SYMBOL OF
HOPE FOR
BLACK LIVES
#TOGETHERBAND ambassador Denise Bowen meets Dr. Kerry-Anne Gordon
By Denise Bowen
On June 6th 2020 in Philadelphia, Dr. Kerry-Anne Gordon's marriage to her husband Michael went viral. Why? It happened in the middle of a Black Lives Matter protest.
Kerry-Anne had carefully planned her wedding since her engagement in 2019. As a busy obstetrician, she had to fit it around her tight work schedule. But when COVID-19 hit the country, it soon became clear that the couple would need to change their plans. Not only was their large wedding in a castle now impossible, but her mother and three other family-members also became ill with the coronavirus (thankfully, they have since recovered). The wedding was postponed to 2021, but, keen to get on with the next exciting stage of their lives, Kerry-Anne and Michael decided to have a small, private ceremony with 21 family and friends in June.
Kerry-Anne and the Black Lives Matter protesters
It was only two days before the event that they found out the Black Lives Matter protest would be marching straight past their wedding venue, the front lawn of The Logan Hotel, Philadelphia. They decided to go ahead regardless, carefully coordinating their guests to arrive before the roads were closed. But Kerry-Anne accidentally left her bouquet inside the hotel and while waiting for it to arrive, the BLM protesters began to march down the street. Delighted at the sight of a bride, they began chanting "Black love matters", and pictures of her and Michael surrounded by these peaceful protesters began to circulate the internet, offering a powerful message of hope in deeply uncertain times.
To find out more about this inspirational woman - a Jamaican-born obstetrician and captain in the U.S. army reserves - we asked #TOGETHERBAND ambassador Denise Bowen, a podcaster and sustainability consultant, to speak to Kerry-Anne about the vital issues highlighted by Goal 10: Reduced Inequalities.
Watching your viral wedding video, I felt it was a monumental moment. It was so uplifting and it gave hope to the movement, showing Black love wins. Tell me how it happened and how it felt to become a symbol of hope...
The pandemic was pivotal in this movement as it opened the floor to exposing the world's darkest secrets and skeletons in the closet with regards to the inequalities that many face daily, especially in the United States of America. The dark and painful truths of racism blossomed in this time of uncertainty, with people feeling scared of what the future would hold politically, socially, economically and racially. While the largest protest was going on in Philadelphia, people wanted to be heard, they wanted change, they wanted peace and love. The special moment we shared in the protest was so powerful because a wedding is a symbol of love, happiness, peace, hope, prosperity and unity. This symbol brought light to the hearts of many when it was so desperately needed.
With many Black families' lives being shattered across America due to police brutality, there is a growing call to defund the police. How do you think we can tackle police brutality? Is defunding the answer?
As a nation, we need to restructure the establishment of our government both locally and nationally to reflect the inherent value of every person's life. The statistics are there, the videos are there and the stories are there. Police brutality has taken the lives of too many Black men, targeted too many others and left countless families struggling with single parent households. [A 2019 U.S. study by the National Academy of Sciences found that Black men were 2.5 times more likely to be killed by police than white men.] However, defunding the police may not be the solution. Instead, redistributing funds combined with eliminating the use of lethal force and defensive tactics from law enforcement training could change the trajectory of Black lives.
Proceeds from sales of Goal 10 #TOGETHERBANDs go to The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)
Black women in the U.S. are up to three times more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes than white women. As a doctor, what are your thoughts on reducing racial and ethnic disparities in healthcare in the U.S.? What are the solutions?
The racial and ethnic disparities in the U.S. healthcare system reflect systemic racism. The Black maternal death rate is similar to the rate that Black men die at the hands of law enforcement. Black women are up to three times more likely to die of pregnancy-related conditions including cardiac issues and haemorrhage and this does not change based on income, education or location. The risk is the same for all Black women. We need to keep better data of the factors that contribute to these numbers, especially those deaths that are preventable. We also need to educate Black women of the signs and symptoms of high-risk conditions, and increase the communication between healthcare teams.
What are your thoughts on Black mothers raising children in the midst of racial and social injustice?
It's scary! Mothers, in general, have the challenging task and lifelong responsibility to nurture and train children to be obedient, respectful, loving, law-abiding citizens. A Black mother has the additional task of bringing awareness of the reality of race and teaching her children techniques of how to best interact with law enforcement so that they may 'live'. As a child growing up in Jamaica, I didn't know about race. I knew we were all one people, living without political or social barriers due to the colour of our skin. When I moved to the United States, I was up for a rude awakening. If all parents - Black, white, brown - would teach their children to love everyone and open up their hearts and homes to people of other races and cultures, the long-term effect in generations to come would be a world where our eyes don't first perceive colour.
Kerry-Anne wearing her Goal 10: Reduced Inequalities #TOGETHERBAND
Leading U.K. divorce lawyer Baroness Fiona Shackleton predicted in parliament that there will be a rise in divorce rates because of confinement during COVID-19. As a newly married woman, how does this make you feel? And what's the key to a successful relationship?
I used to think openness and communication are of the utmost importance, however it turns out reciprocation is - discovering somebody who has a similar vitality for you that you have for them. In light of the confinement from the pandemic, self-care is essential, and it isn't simply drinking water, exercising or resting early. Self-care is also permitting yourself to cry and requesting help from everyone around you, including your partner, is a healthy way to save a relationship.
You're a #TOGETHERBAND ambassador for Goal 10: Reduced Inequalities. Are you involved in any projects that relate to the Goal and what objectives have you set to achieve in 2021?
I'm a champion of equality through education. I'm promoting equality by spreading awareness of social and racial disparities so that we're motivated to make small changes in our communities one person at a time. In my role as an obstetrician, I'm committed to educating minorities about their bodies and enabling them to communicate with their doctors. The more they know, the better advocates they'll be. They can then pass the knowledge on to their family and friends, thereby starting a cycle of self-advocacy.

An unforgettable first novel about coming of age one sweet summer--and learning to love what you have. The summer Opal and her father, the preacher, move to Naomi, Florida, Opal goes into the Winn-Dixie supermarket--and comes out with a dog. A big, ugly, suffering dog with a sterling sense of humor. A dog she dubs Winn-Dixie. Because of Winn-Dixie, the preacher tells Opal ten things about her absent mother, one for each year Opal has been alive. Winn-Dixie is better at making friends than anyone Opal has ever known, and together they meet the local librarian, Miss Franny Block, who once fought off a bear with a copy of WAR AND PEACE. They meet Gloria Dump, who is nearly blind but sees with her heart, and Otis, an ex-con who sets the animals in his pet shop loose after hours, then lulls them with his guitar. Opal spends all that sweet summer collecting stories about her new friends and thinking about her mother. But because of Winn-Dixie or perhaps because she has grown, Opal learns to let go, just a little, and that friendship--and forgiveness--can sneak up on you like a sudden summer storm. Recalling the fiction of Harper Lee and Carson McCullers, here is a funny, poignant, and utterly genuine first novel from a major new talent.

text:
Laurentius David Bollhagen (* 4. Februar 1683 in Stargard, Pommern; † 7. Januar 1738 in Stargard) war ein evangelischer Theologe und pommerscher Generalsuperintendent.

Leben und Wirken

Laurentius David Bollhagen wurde als Sohn des Stargarder Kaufmanns David Bollhagen und seiner Ehefrau Dorothea Wagner geboren. Nach dem Besuch des Gröningschen Kollegs in Stargard studierte er zunächst an der Universität Jena, wo er zum Magister promovierte, anschließend an der Universität Leipzig, wo er 1703 als Opponent bei einer Disputation Christian Wolffs fungierte, und danach an der Universität Greifswald, wo er am 24. Juni 1704 den Grad eines Baccalaureus der Theologie erwarb.

Im Jahre 1706 wurde Bollhagen Substitut in der Präpositur Wollin bei M. Johann Engelke, dessen Tochter Agnise (Agnes) er am 4. Mai 1706 heiratete. Ein Jahr später wurde er Licentiat, und nach erneut einem Jahr promovierte er zum Doktor der Theologie.

Im Jahre 1710 wurde er Archidiakonus an der Stettiner Marienkirche und noch im selben Jahr Hofprediger an der Schlosskirche zu Stettin. Mit der Pfarrstelle war eine Professur der Theologie und der orientalischen Sprachen am Regium Gymnasium Carolinum verbunden.

Als Stettin von Schweden an Preußen abgetreten wurde, erhielt Bollhagen am 29. Juni 1721 die Ernennung zum adjungierten Generalsuperintendenten in Hinterpommern unter dem Amtsträger M. David Nerreter. Nach dem Tode Nerreters übernahm Bollhagen das offizielle Amt und verließ Stettin in Richtung Stargard, nachdem er bereits ein Jahr zuvor auch die Würde des Generalsuperintendenten in Altvorpommern verliehen bekommen hatte.

Theologisch war Bollhagen ein Vertreter der Lutherischen Orthodoxie und Gegner des Pietismus. Er verstarb im Alter von 55 Jahren.

What are everyone's thoughts? I think it's pretty good.
Looking at it now, Shoto Lightsaber is probably a weak card, will swap for Stun Baton I think. Power of the Dark Side is really strong with two blanks on the characters, and almost guarantees 2 damage from my Executioners, as long as they don't roll a resource.
@Hessian Sack Are you the same person as "H. Sack"?
@Hessian Sack is my personal account, and H.Sack is my brother/sister/my shared account.
Why you not chose 7th Sister instead of Anakin?
Two sides on those Executioner, Executioner's Axe, and Z6 Riot Control Baton dice... you gotta run Anger!
What about replacing Shoto with Crafted Lightsaber? Better damage, same cost.
@Kajs I really like Anakin, in villain mode, he has three two damage sides, a shield, a resource and a blank, which is amazing for a 10/13 cost character (comparing to Kylo Ren in particular, comparing to Yoda wouldn't be fair). As for Seventh Sister, I just don't like her. She's really good in the right place, but I don't own her, and her ability isn't particularly useful here.
@joemasilotti I didn't even consider it! I'll probably swap some for the Close Quarters Assaults.
@Fenn Rau II Yeah, that's what I'll probably do. Alternatively, I might put it Temptation for resource generation and the blanks to fuel other stuff like Power of the Dark Side (I want to add a second one, by the way), and the Anger previously mentioned.
@RebelTraitor cool! What are your thoughts on it?
I'd think you'd have resource problems with so many pay sides. And only electostaff and the battlefield to help.
I like this list. Is there an updated version?
