Rules Don't Apply - Trailer & Clips
Warren Beatty writes, directs and stars in the new movie Rules Don't Apply.
Marla Mabrey could be the next talk of the town, having already made a name for herself by being named the local beauty queen in the small town she grew up in, much bigger things await the brunette beauty. Hollywood is on her doorstep and with a little luck she's about to become one of the biggest actresses the town knows.
The year is 1958 and Marla is accompanied to the city by her mother having grown up in a strict Baptist environment, some people might judge Marla as being a little frigid, especially as the city is just on the brink of a feminist uprising. She doesn't drink, smoke or believe in premarital sex but the city might just loosen Marla up and introduce her to a few vices she never thought she'd take up.

Martin Sheen Praises Son Charlie's Courage In Announcing HIV Positive Diagnosis

Charlie Sheen made his revelation earlier this week
Actor Martin Sheen has praised the courage of his son Charlie after the Two and a Half Men star publicly announced he was living with a HIV positive diagnosis. In Florida for an event, the Naples Daily News reported how the 75-year-old father spoke of the pride he felt after Charlie's revelation.

New 'Amazing Spider-Man 2' Trailer Looks Awesome, But How Will It Do Against 'The Winter Soldier?'
By Victoria Pavlova in Lifestyle / Showbiz on 06 December 2013
Andrew Garfield Emma Stone Jamie Foxx Paul Giamatti Martin Sheen Sally Field
The new Spider-Man trailer makes the movie look thoroughly entertaining, even if it isn't The Winter Soldier.
There's one big piece of news on the entertainment circuit that you should be paying attention to: how cool is the new Amazing Spider-Man 2 trailer. According to popular opinion, it is with stars Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone that the franchise has really found its footing and this second film from Garfield's trilogy looks pretty much amazing, judging from the trailer, released yesterday.
The special effects look particularly gorgeous.
We already know that the masked superhero will be taking on a trio of The Green Goblin (Chris Cooper) The Rhino (Paul Giamatti) and Electro (Jamie Foxx,) the latter of whom has a particularly cool scene in the trailer, as he goes after Spider-Man with whips of static electricity. Not to mention that his one line in the trailer is said with enough power to convert any non-believers in Foxx's aptitude for the role. The point of the trailer is fairly obvious: Electro is coming and the lights are going out. In fact, that could make for some sneaky real-world parallels and maybe a power/electricity analogy here and there, which Marvel have obviously caught on to.

Salinger Trailer
J.D. Salinger - known to his friends as Jerry - is the mysterious author of the most famous adolescent book in the last century, 'The Catcher In The Rye'. Little has ever been known about the talented Jewish author; he preferred to keep his private life out of the public eye, stopped taking interviews 30 years before his death and hated being photographed by the media. In 1965, he had stopped publishing stories altogether and few people knew exactly what had happened to him. Few people also knew about his troubling experiences in the army during World War II and there were rumours that he had suffered a nervous breakdown and worked on his writing alone in an isolated cabin. It was no wonder, in some respects, that he wanted to stay out of the limelight as much as possible, after three young boys used the novel to justify cold-blooded murders. Now, some of the most sought after details of his Salinger's personal life are revealed, from his relationships to his emotional struggles.

Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2 Scores Sixth Biggest Box Office Takings Of All Time In US
By Joe Wilde in Movies / TV / Theatre on 18 November 2012
Robert Pattinson Kristen Stewart Martin Sheen Taylor Lautner
The last instalment of the Twilight Saga hit cinemas this Friday and in the USA it cruised into box office success, becoming the sixth highest grossing film on its opening day ever.
The film took in a massive $71.2 million on Friday (16) night, however this still wasn't enough to send it above its predecessors Breaking Dawn – Part 1 ($71.6 million) and New Moon ($72.7 million). Box office experts are predicting the film to hit the $135 million mark by the end of the weekend, with some estimates even putting the film as high as $150 million. The film will have to hit the latter prediction if it is to beat the takings of New Moon and Breaking Dawn – Part 1, which took in $142.8 million and $138.1 million respectively. Meanwhile, in overseas markets, the film has raked in $91 million already.
Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 2 is the final instalment of the Edward Cullen and Bella Swan love tale, which stars real-life couple Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart as the sparkling vampire and his human girlfriend. The ending of the series has no doubt prompted boyfriends across the globe to let out a sign of relief.

Helen Mirren Dusting Off Her Crown To Play 'The Queen' Once More
By Jack de Aguilar on 21 September 2012
Helen Mirren Stephen Daldry Peter Morgan Tony Blair Martin Sheen
Helen Mirren is set to reprise her career-defining role as 'The Queen' for a new stage-play directed by Stephen Daldry. The British star – who scooped an Oscar for her portrayal of Queen Elizabeth II in Stephen Frear's 2006 movie – will team up with Peter Morgan for 'The Audience', a production exploring six decades of the monarch's weekly meetings with British prime ministers.
Her portrayal of The Queen in a meeting with Tony Blair – played by Martin Sheen – was considered one of the more memorable scenes of the award-winning movie and Daldry is set to build on that in the stage-play. Playing the monarch from her twenties to her eighties will be no mean feat, though Mirren holds the necessary credentials to take on such a role. According to the Guardian, she said, "Her voice has changed, and I can use that –she had a terribly posh voice when she was young…But now even the Queen, while she isn't quite dropping the ends of her lines –though her grandsons do! – there's a tiny bit of estuary creeping in there. I can use all that to signify the age range, and we'll come up with other things." The drama will be staged at the Gielgud Theatre in London from March 2013.
'The Audience' is certainly in good hands; playwright Peter Morgan's last play 'Frost/Nixon' gained universal critical acclaim and featured a standout performance from Michael Sheen.

The Departed Review
By David Thomas
Just as Spike Lee took a basic caper and added his own pet issues to elevate Inside Man to the upper echelons of its genre, Martin Scorsese has taken The Departed, based on an intriguingly simple premise, to its own heights by infusing issues that have concerned him ever since Mean Streets. Along the way, he makes room for some memorable performances, not the least of which comes from the most likely of sources.
The Departed is based on the Hong Kong blockbuster Infernal Affairs, in which a cop goes undercover in the mob while the mob places one of their own as a mole in the police force. In Scorsese's version, the scene shifts to Boston, where mob boss Frank Costello (Jack Nicholson) puts loyal-from-boyhood employee Colin Sullivan (Matt Damon) through police training. As Sullivan rises through the ranks, Special Investigations Unit chiefs Queenan (Martin Sheen) and Dignam (Mark Wahlberg) recruit rookie Billy Costigan (Leonardo DiCaprio) to get "kicked off" the force and do time to gain Costello's confidence.

Apocalypse Now Review

In the grand tradition of movies that explore the reality that is the Vietnam War, one film stands out -- for defying reality.
Martin Sheen stars as Captain Willard, sent upriver in war-torn 'Nam to "terminate, with extreme prejudice" one Colonel Kurtz (Brando), a former green beret who has gone primal all the way in Cambodia and has taken on the guise of a god to the local people of the area.

Bobby Review
By Chris Cabin
Filmmakers go overboard all the time, but none more than Oliver Stone. When Stone released JFK in 1991, it was obvious that he was pulling from a biased idealism, but he wasn't necessarily fibbing either. The cumulative effect of Stone's film was investigative fervor; even if you didn't believe the bulk of what was being given, you had to be shocked by a few of his points. The film was about looking back, but it was also about the hushed panic of the Kennedy assassination and the rest of the '60s. So, maybe going overboard was important to what Stone was after.
You won't find any sort of rabblerousing or sense of time in Emilio Estevez's Bobby, his account of the people that were in attendance when Robert F. Kennedy was shot and killed in Los Angeles' Ambassador Hotel. Estevez tosses together close to two dozen major characters and storylines along with footage of RFK campaigning against racism, America's poverty, and unlawful McCarthy tactics. The stories run the gamut from a young couple (Elijah Wood and Lindsay Lohan) getting hitched to keep the groom out of the war to an alcoholic diva (Demi Moore) and her forgotten husband (Estevez himself) to a philandering hotel manager (William H. Macy) who must keep his affair with a switchboard operator (Heather Graham) from his wife (Sharon Stone) and from an infuriated ex-employee (Christian Slater). There's also a pack of poll campaigners (Nick Cannon, Joshua Jackson, Shia Labeouf, and Brian Geraghty) who must deal with an acid freak out facilitated by a hippie (Ashton Kutcher), a pushy Czech journalist (Svetlana Metkina), and a flirty waitress at the hotel restaurant (Mary Elizabeth Winstead). Sounds like the makings of an ensemble comedy, no?

Wall Street Review
By Norm Schrager
Since the initial release of Wall Street, Oliver Stone's giant-sized 1987 fable, it's been said a million times: Greed Is Good. With those three words, Michael Douglas, as uber-corporate raider Gordon Gekko, defined the tone of not just a single movie but perhaps of an entire decade (even though that's a paraphrase of his actual quote).
The phrase, now famous via Douglas's Oscar-winning performance, was initially uttered by Ivan Boesky, the 1980s business biggie who thrived on doing whatever it took to become rich, and paid the price as a result. Director/co-writer Stone, with Douglas at the epicenter, erects an overdone behemoth of a movie that, like Boesky himself, is an ageless -- and, at times, clichéd -- cautionary tale.

Historical Importance of Concrete Construction
Home / Irish Castle Paving / Historical Importance of Concrete Construction
Ever hear of the phrase "All Roads Lead to Rome?"
While the phrase currently means that many different approaches lead to the same or similar outcomes, the phrase once noted the power of the Roman Empire. Most roads did lead to Rome during the era of the Roman Empire. Rome influenced most of the political and economic life of Europeans, and Roman influence could be summed up by the Roman system of roads.
Romans build their roads using a material known as Roman concrete, which was a hydraulic-setting cement that displayed many similar qualities to modern cement. All cement consists of an aggregate and a mortar that mixes with water to form into a paste, which hardens over time. Roman concrete proved revolutionary for its durability and uses in different forms of construction. Roman concrete was used to construct some of the most famous buildings from the Roman Empire including the Pantheon, which still stands to this day.
In fact, the word concrete dates back to the Romans, who built their empire using the substance. Paved roads were the foundation of the longest standing empire in human history, and even though the Roman may be gone several of their structure and some of their roads remain. Great construction is timeless.

Майкл Голт (род. 15 апреля 1983 года в Лисберне) — бывший футболист из Северной Ирландии, который в настоящее время тренирует команду «Линфилда» до 18 лет. Ранее он руководил клубом Футбольной лиги Среднего Ольстера «Баллимакэш Рейнджерс».

Карьера игрока

Клубная карьера
Голт родился в Лисберне, начал свою карьеру в «Линфилде» в сезоне 2001/02. В апреле 2003 года он подписал профессиональный контракт на три с половиной года, продлевал срок действия в мае 2006 года, мае 2009 года и марте 2012 года. После последнего продления Голт, который был капитаном клуба, утратил статус профессионального футболиста.

Он покинул «Линфилд» в мае 2014 года, подписав контракт с «Портадауном» в конце того же месяца. В сезоне 2015/16 он получил 21 желтую карточку в 29 играх. В январе 2016 года было объявлено, что он покинет клуб летом после подписания предварительного соглашения с «Крусейдерс».

В июле 2019 года Майкл Голт был назначен играющим тренером клуба футбольной лиги Среднего Ольстера «Баллимакэш Рейнджерс».

Майкл провёл 17 матчей за «Баллимакэш Рейнджерс», а в августе 2020 года завершил карьеру игрока, чтобы сосредоточиться на тренерской работе.

Международная карьера
Голт дебютировал на международной арене в товарищеском матче против Грузии в марте 2008 года (победа 4:1); в том же матче на международной арене дебютировал также Майкл О'Коннор. В октябре 2008 года Голт был вызван в сборную Северной Ирландии на матч отбора на чемпионат мира 2010 против Сан-Марино, но так и не вышел на поле.

Тренерская карьера
Майкл Голт делал свои первые шаги как тренер в июле 2019 года, когда возглавил «Баллимакэш Рейнджерс».

Голт ушёл из спорта в августе 2020 года, с этого момента исполнял только тренерские функции. В своём первом сезоне, который был завершен досрочно в марте 2020 года из-за пандемии COVID-19, Голт привёл свою команду к финишу на втором месте в промежуточном дивизионе А футбольной лиги Среднего Ольстера.

Голт покинул «Баллимакэш Рейнджерс», чтобы возглавить юношескую команду «Линфилда» до 18 лет.

Личная жизнь
В 2003 году Голт изучал компьютерные науки в Ольстерском университете, а к 2006 году он получил образование в области спортивных наук в их кампусе в Джорданстауне.

Kodak EasyShare V570
By Terry Sullivan
January 2, 2006 7:00AM EST
Unique dual-lens construction. Great wide-angle shots and video clips. Stylish.
Weak flash. Noise in flash images. Some shutter lag. Optical zoom is not continuous.
See the Kodak EasyShare V570 in Action!
The Kodak EasyShare V570 is a unique camera that lets you capture unusual views of the world, but providing two lenses doesn't automatically make it the best ultracompact around.
It is easy to see what makes new Kodak EasyShare V570 unique: The camera has two Schneider Kreuznach C-Variogon lenses. (It also has 5.0-megapixel CCDs to accompany each lens, but those are on the inside.) This is not some new-fangled specialty camera sporting binocular or 3D image capture but an ultracompact digital camera that gives you the benefit of both a wide-angle and a 5X zoom lens in one device. The combination is very compelling, but Kodak had to make some compromises to offer this photographic flexibility.
In its product literature, Kodak says the camera has a 5X optical zoom from 23mm to 117mm (figures given are a 35mm equivalent). In fact, there's one fixed lens at 23mm that lets you zoom digitally. The actual zoom lens is a 39- to 117mm zoom, which is a 3X optical, or continuous, zoom. Hence when you disengage the digital zoom, the screen image on the LCD jumps from 23mm to the much closer 39mm. So, in my view, when Kodak says that the "optical zoom lens produces a total 5X optical zoom range," it's not being entirely accurate about the process.
The only other aspect that we weren't completely pleased with was the fact that there is a large jump from the 23mm wide-angle lens to the start of the zoom range at 39mm. We would have liked the zoom lens range to start at 35mm or less. Moreover, at $399.95 direct, the V570's a tad on the pricey side.
That said, the camera has the unique quality of housing two lenses in one 5MP camera: a 23mm 2.8/f fixed lens and a 39- to 117mm zoom lens with a maximum aperture of f/3.9 on the wide-angle end of the zoom and f/4.4 on the telephoto end.
For us, the real appeal of this camera is the 23mm wide-angle view. It's great for capturing landscapes, interior settings, or any picture where you're fairly close to your subject. Like any wide-angle lens, using this one will distort images. Shooting with the 23mm lens is can be a very cool compositional tool, enabling you to work with interesting distortions or views that you generally get only on an SLR with a wide-angle lens. Just be sure to take some test shots to see what the distortion looks like. Portraits in particular can be great, as long as you are hip to wide-angle distortions.
The camera has much the same look and feel as the recent V-series cameras, a necessary update to the rather stodgy Kodak designs of the past. This camera has an almost art deco look to it, as if it were designed in the 1920s.
There is no glass viewfinder, but you'll find a bright 2.5-inch LCD, which is fairly readable in bright light. There are 22 scene modes to choose from, although there are no manual modes. It also includes a snazzy photo frame dock.
The Kodak EasyShare V570 lets you shoot VGA video at 30 frames per second, which is saved as a QuickTime movie. You can shoot as much as 80 minutes of video (depending in the length of the SD card). The video was a little jumpy, but the image looked pretty good. We felt there were some aberrations, which gave a slight sensation of looking through marbled glass at times. Both lenses worked well for shooting video; you can use the 3X optical zoom while shooting and capture video with the 23mm fixed lens.
In our lab and real-world testing, simulated daylight images revealed some noise and slight artifacts. Overall, the images were pretty sharp and displayed good color saturation and matching, with little noticeable fringing. Overall exposure was very good, but the V570 did have a tendency to blow out some of the highlights.
The coverage was problematic in our flash test shot. Put simply, the flash just didn't seem strong enough. We were disappointed in the amount of noise we found in the flash shot as well; the noise was colored and more prominent than it was in the daylight shot. We were also surprised to find that the image was taken at ISO 200. Looking at the amount of noise, we expected it to be around ISO 800.
Color saturation was pretty good, but the increase in noise affected the color accuracy and saturation to a degree. Again, there was very little fringing in the image. Overall we found just average image quality.
On our resolution test, the image registered 1,375 lines, about average for a 5MP camera. The bootup was speedy, taking 1.8 seconds. As we've found in many recent Kodak cameras, the recycle time was excellent. The V570 takes just 1.2 seconds to reset between shots, which is remarkable. Unfortunately, we did find some shutter lag in the camera.
We tested the distortion of both the 23mm wide-angle and the 39- to 114mm zoom lens. Even with the distortion compensation feature turned on, we found obvious, strong barrel distortion with the 23mm fixed lens. There was a bit more distortion with it turned off. Still, for a 23mm lens, this amount of distortion is not unusual, and considering the small size of the lens, we think the concept is pretty innovative. With the zoom lens, we found only a bit of barrel distortion in the wide-angle end and just a slight bit of pincushion distortion at the zoom end.
At this point, the V570 rates as a very good camera for an ultracompact. It's difficult to compare it directly with other cameras, because its dual-lens construction is unique among compact cameras. Nonetheless based on our testing, it just doesn't quite reach the status of an Editors' Choice.
Benchmark Results:
Boot time (seconds): 1.8
Recycle time (seconds): 1.2
Resolution: 1,350x1,400
Bottom Line: The Kodak EasyShare V570 is a unique camera that lets you capture unusual views of the world, but providing two lenses doesn't automatically make it the best ultracompact around.

Hoppenböcken ist eine Hofschaft in der bergischen Großstadt Solingen.

Lage und Beschreibung
Hoppenböcken befindet sich am Südrand der geschlossenen Bebauung der Wohnviertel rund um Eichenstraße und Pfaffenberger Weg inmitten des Stadtbezirks Burg/Höhscheid. Die zu dem Ort gehörenden Gebäude befinden sich am Quellufer des Schellberger Baches. Sie liegen an der nach dem Ort benannten Stichstraße Hoppenböcken, die südlich vom Thalesweg abzweigt. Der Ort besteht bis heute unter anderem aus einer Gruppe von Fachwerkgebäuden, von denen einige unter Denkmalschutz stehen. In den zur Wupper hin abfallenden Gebieten im Süden befindet sich auch der Sattelsberg, eine 211 Meter hohe natürliche Erhebung im bewaldeten Solinger Süden.

Benachbarte Orte sind bzw. waren (von Nord nach West): Maushöhe, Spielbruch, Dornsiepen, Meisenburg, I. Hästen, Schellberg, Odental, Eichholz, Schlicken und Böckerhof.

Etymologie
Die Ortsbezeichnung ist von dem Familiennamen Hoppe abgeleitet. Das Suffix -böcken deutet auf einen Buchenwald hin, bei dem der Bauernhof entstanden ist. Der Ortsname wurde im Jahre 1937 offiziell als Straßenname eingeführt.

Geschichte
Hoppenböcken hat bereits im 17. Jahrhundert bestanden. In den Eintragungen der reformierten Kirchengemeinde vom 24. Juni 1690 wird ein Hoppe zur Buchen erstmals urkundlich erwähnt. In dem Kartenwerk Topographia Ducatus Montani von Erich Philipp Ploennies, Blatt Amt Solingen, aus dem Jahre 1715 ist der Ort mit einer Hofstelle verzeichnet und als z. Bücke benannt. Der Ort wurde in den Registern der Honschaft Dorp innerhalb des Amtes Solingen geführt. Die Topographische Aufnahme der Rheinlande von 1824 verzeichnet den Ort als Hoppenböcken, ebenso wie die Preußische Uraufnahme von 1844. In der Topographischen Karte des Regierungsbezirks Düsseldorf von 1871 ist der Ort als Hoppenböcker verzeichnet.

Nach Gründung der Mairien und späteren Bürgermeistereien Anfang des 19. Jahrhunderts gehörte der Ort zur Bürgermeisterei Dorp, die 1856 das Stadtrecht erhielt, und lag dort in der Flur VII. Schlicken. Die Bürgermeisterei beziehungsweise Stadt Dorp wurde nach Beschluss der Dorper Stadtverordneten zum 1. Januar 1889 mit der Stadt Solingen vereinigt. Damit wurde Hoppenböcken ein Ortsteil Solingens.

In der zweiten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts wurde zwischen Hoppenböcken und dem I. Hästen Eisenerz abgebaut. Doch in den beiden Zechen Ringeltaube und Nelson wurden nur geringe Mengen dieses Rohstoffs gefördert.

Aufgrund seiner topografischen Lage wurde der Ort nur geringfügig baulich verändert bzw. erweitert. Damit blieb sein ursprünglicher Hofschaftscharakter mit verstreuten angeordneten Fachkwerk- und Schieferhäusern bis heute erhalten. Seit dem Jahre 1984/1996/1995 sind die historischen Gebäude Hoppenböcken 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 12a, und 14 in die Solinger Denkmalliste eingetragen.

What is Water Hammer and How to Prevent it?
By Anish | In: Marine Technology | Last Updated on October 11, 2019
High temperature steam is used in the engine room for several purposes such as heating fuel line and fuel tanks. Water hammer is a common phenomenon that occurs in steam lines because of water getting stuck in the pipes. Let's find out how water hammer takes place and what can be done to avoid it.
How Water Hammer takes place?
When the steam lines are shut after use, water gets accumulated in the steam pipes mainly because of condensation of the trapped steam. When high temperature steam is again passed through the lines having water, the steam comes in contact with the water and pushes the water down the line.
As the steam comes in contact with water, it eventually condenses and creates a vacuum, which forces the water towards the opened valve at high velocity. The water then hits the valve with high speed, damaging or breaking the valve or piping completely. Valve fracturing because of water hammer has resulted in to disastrous accidents in the past including loss of lives. It is therefore necessary to take every possible step to reduce the effects of water hammer.
How to Prevent Water Hammer?
The most important way to prevent water hammer is to remove the water from the steam lines before passing the steam again through them. Water is removed from the steam lines using drain connections.
All the water should be drained out to make the lines clear. Once this is done, the steam valve should be opened very slightly (cracked open) to heat the line and to bring it to working temperature. This also ensures that the condensate formed due to inlet of steam is removed through the already opened valve. The drain outlet should be continuously checked to ensure that all water is drained out.
Avoid Sharp bends in the steam pipes as sharp bends will help the steam to condense more.
When all the water is removed and the noise from the drain changes to steam blow, the steam valve should be opened further. This process has to be slow and extremely gradual.
After sometime the drain valve should be completely closed and the steam valve to be completely opened. This method prevents water from accumulating in the pipes and eventually stops water hammer.

Mount Umunhum at 3,486 feet takes its place as No. 3, ahead of Mount Tamalpais in Marin, as one of the Bay Area's tallest peaks. Photo by Giustina Ilyusha/Flickr.
Resting with the hummingbirds at Mount Umunhum
Rising 3,486 feet above Los Gatos in the South Bay, Mount Umunhum may well be the tallest mountain you've never heard of in the Bay Area.
But the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District aims to raise its profile to the status of the Bay Area's other top peaks. Mount Umunhum (Um-un-um), which means "resting place of the hummingbirds" in Ohlone, will at long last be opened to the public for hiking and scenic viewing after more than 50 years in military lockdown.
Midpen is beginning to demolish dozens of old military structures around the summit, a vestige of the Almaden Air Force Station which used the mountain for early warning radar detection during the Cold War. And last week, the Midpen board voted to leave the iconic long- range radar tower at the peak (a.k.a. "the cube") because of a public outpouring of support for preserving a piece of the mountain's military past.
The military radar tower will be the only standing remnant of Mount Umunhum's military past. Photo by Alison Hawkes.
"This is the biggest project the district has ever tackled," said Midpen's general manager Steve Abbors on a recent media tour of the summit. "It's really about opening the whole site to the public as a resting area. On a day when you're socked in the valley with smog so thick you don't want to breathe, you come up here."
Mount Umunhum is the fourth highest peak in the Santa Cruz Mountains with a viewshed of 2,000 square miles on a clear day, spanning Monterey Bay to Mount Tamalpais. To get there, you have to wind your way along a gated dirt road through chaparral and bay-oak woodlands in the Sierra Azul Open Space Reserve, a sizable slice of land that Midpen manages along with a smattering of private property owners.
By 2016, the district expects to allow vehicular access to the summit through special permits, and anyone who's able-bodied will be able to walk to the top on a new 1.7 mile trail that will start at Barlow Road. Once you're up there, a summit trail will be ADA accessible. General road access won't happen until the district raises another $3 million for road upgrades.
"That's a big ticket," said Gina Coony, the Midpen project planner. "Finding funding for a road is tough. We're hoping we can find some way to get that done."
Midpen purchased Mount Umunhum from the federal government in 1986 and it's taken another quarter-century to acquire $3.2 money in federal funds to complete the toxic cleanup of the site. The military left behind asbestos and lead paint riddled buildings, fuel storage tanks, and PCB-laced transformers, all of which threatened to leach downslope into the watershed.
With that part of the work now done, Midpen is focusing on restoring the site to natural conditions and preparing it for public recreation. The district hopes to eventually provide access for bike riding, horseback riding and hand gliding, in addition to hiking, although the long range plans will require millions of dollars more in fundraising. The overall cost of the entire project is $13 million.
General vehicular access to Mount Umunhum won't happen until the district raises $3 million to upgrade the winding dirt road to the summit. Photo by Alison Hawkes.
Mount Umunhum is home to 63 unique species, including a population of purple martin, the largest swallow in North America, and the side-blotched lizard, which is not normally known on this side of the Bay, said Abbors. Mountain lions and rattlesnakes are some of the other wildlife highlights. Abbors believes California condors, which have been spotted on neighboring Mount Hamilton, will eventually make their way to Mount Umunhum.
"It's been disturbed, but nothing much has happened within the last 20 years," said Abbors. "The mountain has had time to rest and the creatures off the summit will find their way up."
The radar tower will be virtually the only military structure remaining on the mountain. Last week, the Midpen board set aside $414,000 to seal off and stabilize the concrete block with the hopes that supporters will raise enough money in the next five years to keep it permanent.
On the media tour of the summit, a hummingbird buzzed around a soon-to-be-demolished chain-linked fence next to the radar tower. It was as if the hummingbird had showed up to claim its rightful place at the top of its namesake.

Midpeninsula Open Space District Launches Geocache Challenge
Mindego Ranch Hikes
Book Review: Peninsula Tales and Trails


Coffs Harbour Council, in accordance with the provisions of the Local Government Act, has created alcohol regulated areas throughout the LGA. The establishment and continued operation of these areas is one of the principle harm-minimisation strategies employed by local councils and the police to reduce the effect on the community of alcohol-related issues.
There are two types of alcohol regulated areas within the LGA; Alcohol Free Zones (AFZs) operating over public roads, footpaths and public carparks, and Alcohol Prohibited Areas within public parks and reserves. Within these areas special conditions apply to the taking in and consuming of alcohol.
These zones have been created over certain roads, footpaths and carparks as indicated in the online mapping system. Within an AFZ alcohol may not be consumed at any time (unless in conjunction with licensed outdoor dining, or BYO restaurants with approved outdoor dining, or lastly council-approved events). The legislation applies to all persons, including minors. Police have the power to seize and tip out or otherwise dispose of alcohol without the need to issue a warning. A Police officer or authorised council enforcement officer may use their discretion to issue a warning to a person who is drinking in an alcohol free zone, for example, where the person may be unaware of the zone. It should also be noted that in circumstances where a person does not co-operate with a Police officer or authorised council enforcement officer, they can be charged with obstruction under section 660 of the Local Government Act which carries a maximum penalty of $2,200.
Council has approved the renewal of the Alcohol Free Zones (AFZs) that operate throughout the City for a further 4-year period, commencing 1 September 2015 and finishing on 30 September 2019.
Read the guidelines provided by the Department of Local Government to understand the process of applying for a new Alcohol Free Zone.
The above application form must be submitted to Council to begin the process.
These zones relate to certain Parks and Reserves as indicated in the online map. Alcohol prohibitions generally apply between certain time periods, usually 9.00pm until 9.00am however there are some locations where a 24-hour prohibition applies. Parks and reserves that have alcohol prohibitions in place have been clearly signposted with the prohibition period indicated on the sign. During the prohibition period alcohol may not be taken in or consumed within the signed area. Fines apply and alcohol can be confiscated and disposed of by the police or other authorised enforcement officers during the prohibition period. Outside of the signed prohibition period no restrictions apply and alcohol may be taken in and consumed. The exception to this are the periods between 6.00am New Years Eve until 6.00am New Years Day and 6.00am Australia Day (January 26th) until 6.00am January 27th where a special 24-hour prohibition is in force.

Michael SimariCar and Driver
Highs Fantastic infotainment system, impressive safety ratings, all-wheel-drive security.
Lows Dreadful manual transmission, apathetic acceleration, middling fuel efficiency.
Verdict Safe, secure, simple—and did we mention slow?
Standard all-wheel drive, fantastic safety ratings, and a comprehensive suite of infotainment features make the 2019 Subaru Impreza sedan and hatchback a compelling choice in the compact-car marketplace. A handsome but subdued exterior style and a durable, businesslike cabin give the give the Subaru broad appeal, and its predictable and athletic chassis provides driving enjoyment for those who care. If only its flat-four engine made more power and were mated to a better transmission. Fuel efficiency and acceleration performance both suffer, and no one will enjoy rowing the notchy shifter that comes with the standard five-speed manual transmission. Focusing on the equipment and the all-weather confidence, the Impreza is a car we're happy to recommend, but it would still need an inspired powertrain to achieve greatness.
Subaru has updated the standard and optional features on its 2019 Impreza models. The entry-level version is now available with the company's EyeSight driver-assistance technology, which includes adaptive cruise control, automated emergency braking, lane-departure warning and lane-keeping assist. This equipment as well as automatic high-beam headlights and rear automated emergency braking is now standard on the top-of-the-line Limited. The base and Premium models with EyeSight receive an upgraded gauge cluster, unique overhead lighting, and a tire-pressure-monitoring system. The Premium now has standard black 16-inch wheels and dual USB ports on the back of the center console. Likewise, its Starlink infotainment system now adds a CD player and SiriusXM satellite radio. Sport models with the manual transmission get a short-throw shifter plucked from the Subaru WRX STI.
Subaru Impreza Pricing and Which One to Buy
The Premium trim is our pick of the lineup and comes standard with comfort and convenience upgrades such as heated seats and a windshield wiper de-icer and steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters. Selecting the hatchback body style adds $500 to our Impreza Premium, and we'd also select the EyeSight Driver Assist Technology package with its numerous safety features.
Likes: Standard all-wheel drive, compliant ride, fun to drive.
Dislikes: Apathetic acceleration, manual transmission is notchy and imprecise.
The Impreza is a tortoise in a class of hares, with a flat-four engine that makes 152 horsepower and 145 lb-ft of torque. With little low-end punch, the Impreza requires considerable goading to keep the engine where it needs to be to make power. Although the five-speed manual transmission our Impreza Sport sedan performed less lethargically at the track compared with the CVT of our long-term Sport hatch. The Impreza comes standard with all-wheel drive.
The Impreza strikes a near-perfect balance between ride and handling. The body doesn't lean in turns and the quick steering gives the compact car an additional sense of verve. We found the Impreza Sport's relatively firm brake pedal and short stopping distance to be exemplary for the class.
Fuel Economy and Real-World MPG
Choose any Impreza with the continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT), and you'll be thoroughly impressed with this all-wheel-drive compact car's fuel economy. Opt for the manual transmission, though, and you'll become a regular at your local gas station. Regardless of trim, the stick-shift Impreza's fuel economy is subpar for the class. Our manual-equipped Impreza Sport sedan was particularly inefficient, managing just 30 mpg in our real-world highway fuel-economy test.
Interior, Infotainment, and Cargo
Likes: Intuitive touchscreen interface, sedan has a wide trunk opening.
Dislikes: Rear-seat center armrest limited to most expensive versions.
The Impreza's interior may be short on style, but it is tops in its design. Easy-to-read gauges, simple controls, and an intuitive climate-control system make the Impreza easy to operate. Additionally, the Impreza's cabin benefits from soft-touch plastics, cushy armrests, and impressive fit and finish. Its interior space is class competitive, and taller drivers will appreciate the model's ample front legroom.
Every Impreza includes key infotainment features such as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility. While base and Premium-level models feature a 6.5-inch touchscreen, Sport and Limited models are equipped with a bigger 8.0-inch touchscreen. Both systems boast logical menu structures and crisp graphics.
The cargo areas of both the Impreza sedan and hatchback are on the smaller side of the class. Still, both body styles benefit from a standard 60/40 split-folding rear seat that allows for additional cargo storage. Limited storage cubbies within the Impreza's cabin leave few places to store various personal items.
Safety and Driver-Assistance Features
Every Impreza earns top marks in crash tests conducted by both the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). The Top Safety Pick+ rating from IIHS is based on vehicles equipped with Subaru's EyeSight suite of driver-assistance technologies, which is only available on models with the automatic transmission. Key safety features include:
Available forward-collision warning and automated emergency braking
Available blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert
Available lane-departure warning and lane-keeping assist
Warranty and Maintenance Coverage
The Impreza's warranty is average for this group of competitors. Buyers who value extensive warranty coverage would be wise to look at the Hyundai Elantra or the Kia Forte.
Limited warranty covers 3 years or 36,000 miles
Powertrain warranty covers 5 years or 60,000 miles
No complimentary scheduled maintenance

Odyssey Number Five
Odyssey Number Five dropped almost exactly 2 years after Internationalist, on 4 September 2000, and absolutely blew up.
Odyssey Number Five turned out to be as epic for Powderfinger as the title implied—both in terms of the sound of the album and what it did for the band. This album took them into the stratosphere—and it did so with beautifully cinematic songs that were impossibly addictive.
The album reached number 1 on the ARIA charts before amassing huge sales of 8x platinum, and winning 6 ARIA awards, including Album of the Year. It was simply unstoppable.
Nick DiDia was again tasked with production and recording duties, and there was little room for error. By the time recording sessions for Odyssey Number Five began, the band's 'song filtering process' had become so stringent that they only went in to the studio with 11 songs. And those 11 songs are the 11 tracks on Odyssey Number Five.
Despite recording so few songs, many of the tracks could have been singles alongside My Kind Of Scene, My Happiness, Like A Dog, The Metre / Waiting For The Sun, and These Days (a song the band originally recorded for the Two Hands soundtrack). There's not a shred of fat on this record—it's a slick, panoramic, melodic dreamscape.
Odyssey Number Five is Powderfinger's most iconic record. Many also consider it their best. In 2011, Triple J listeners voted Odyssey Number Five number 1 in the Hottest 100 Australian Albums Of All Time. And in the decades that follow, it will likely be the record that people play their children and grandchildren to explain who Powderfinger was—and what Australian music sounded like at the turn of the century.

Bole History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms
Origins Available: Belgium , Dutch , English , German
The Anglo-Saxon name Bole comes from when its first bearer worked as a maker of wooden bowls and dishes, from the French bolle.
Early Origins of the Bole family
The surname Bole was first found in Lincolnshire where they held a family seat from ancient times, long before the Norman Conquest in 1066.
Early History of the Bole family
This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Bole research.
Another 74 words (5 lines of text) covering the years 1528, 1650, 1700, 1407, 1410, 1413, 1420 and are included under the topic Early Bole History in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Bole Spelling Variations
Until quite recently, the English language has lacked a definite system of spelling rules. Consequently, Anglo-Saxon surnames are characterized by a multitude of spelling variations. Changes in Anglo-Saxon names were influenced by the evolution of the English language, as it incorporated elements of French, Latin, and other languages. Although Medieval scribes and church officials recorded names as they sounded, so it is common to find one person referred to by several different spellings of his surname, even the most literate people varied the spelling of their own names. Variations of the name Bole include Boll, Bolle, Boal and others.
Early Notables of the Bole family (pre 1700)
More information is included under the topic Early Bole Notables in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Migration of the Bole family to Ireland
Some of the Bole family moved to Ireland, but this topic is not covered in this excerpt.

Migration of the Bole family to the New World and Oceana
Searching for a better life, many English families migrated to British colonies. Unfortunately, the majority of them traveled under extremely harsh conditions: overcrowding on the ships caused the majority of the immigrants to arrive diseased, famished, and destitute from the long journey across the ocean. For those families that arrived safely, modest prosperity was attainable, and many went on to make invaluable contributions to the development of the cultures of the new colonies. Research into the origins of individual families in North America revealed records of the immigration of a number of people bearing the name Bole or a variant listed above:

She joins us in a first round before resuming her post. The tequila's smooth enough, but carries flavor notes of anise that overwhelm damned near everything else, I'm left wondering if I haven't just tasted a spirit from an altogether different family.

A pair of men stride past us.

Q: How to properly setup X forwarding on (Ubuntu) linux? From my desktop, I can get to my wife's machine on the lan using:  ssh -X user@1.2.3.4.  Both systems are running the desktop flavour of Ubuntu 9.10-64bit.
But here is the problem:  When I try to run X apps like gedit, it fails with the following error message on the remote end of the ssh connection: "X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication".
The strange thing is, if I run the app with "sudo" such as "sudo gedit" then everything works fine:  I get the X application forwarded through my ssh connection and showing up on my desktop, even though it is actually running on the remote machine.
What have I missed, or where do I check to see exactly what permission failure is giving me problems when running as non-sudo?

A: Uncomment the below in /etc/ssh/ssh_config on both machines.

Q: Proper way to join these tables? I am attempting to learn the difference in JOIN and LEFT JOIN. I watched several youtube videos and researched Google. However, I can't quite grasp why my JOIN query is not working. If I run the sql I get Column 'user_id' in field list is ambiguous.
sales table
sales_id   user_id   amount    date         status
3          1         1258.32   2013-07-02   S

users table
user_id   fname   lname
1         John    Doe

My Code:
$top = mysqli_query($mysqli, "SELECT user_id, fname, lname, SUM(amount) as total
FROM sales
LEFT JOIN users ON
user_id.sales = user_id.users
WHERE status = 'S' AND MONTH(date) = MONTH(CURDATE()) AND YEAR(date) = YEAR(CURDATE()) GROUP BY user_id ORDER BY total DESC LIMIT 5");

     while($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($top)) {
           $topamount[]     = $row['total'];
           $topfnameuser[]  = $row['fname'];
           $toplnameuser[]  = $row['lname'];
     }

A: Since both sales and users have a column named user_id, you have to be specific in your SELECT list about which you want:
SELECT sales.user_id as user_id, fname, lname, SUM(amount) as total
FROM sales
LEFT JOIN users
ON sales.user_id = users.user_id
WHERE status = 'S' AND MONTH(date) = MONTH(CURDATE()) AND YEAR(date) = YEAR(CURDATE())
GROUP BY user_id
ORDER BY total DESC
LIMIT 5

You also had the table and column names backwards in the ON clause. It's table.column, not column.table

A: I think you have miss understanding with the using of LEFT JOIN,
Try this..
I have create table like you want, and I have error if i use your query and solve it so the query like this
SELECT fname,lname, SUM(amount) AS total
  FROM users LEFT JOIN sales
  ON users.user_id = sales.user_id
    WHERE sales.status = 'S' AND MONTH(sales.date) = MONTH(CURDATE()) AND YEAR(sales.date) = YEAR(CURDATE()) GROUP BY users.user_id
ORDER BY total DESC LIMIT 5

A: Focusing on the "attempting to learn the difference in JOIN and LEFT JOIN" part, outer joins are useful when you want to see all rows from one table, even those that have no corresponding rows in another related table.
Here's a simple example using students and test grades.
create table students (student_id serial primary key, student_name text);
create table tests (test_id serial primary key, test_name text, test_date date);
create table grades (
    student_id int,
    test_id int,
    grade char,
    primary key (student_id, test_id),
    foreign key (student_id) references students (student_id),
    foreign key (test_id) references tests (test_id));

insert into students (student_name) values ('joe');
insert into students (student_name) values ('amber');
insert into students (student_name) values ('steve');

insert into tests (test_name, test_date) values ('test 1', '2013-01-20');
insert into tests (test_name, test_date) values ('test 2', '2013-02-10');

insert into grades (student_id, test_id, grade) values (1, 1, 'A');
insert into grades (student_id, test_id, grade) values (1, 2, 'B');
insert into grades (student_id, test_id, grade) values (2, 1, 'B');
insert into grades (student_id, test_id, grade) values (2, 2, 'A');

The following query would return a list of students and their grades, including one row identifying students without any grades yet (in this case, Steve):
select s.student_name, t.test_name, t.test_date, g.grade
from students as s
left join grades as g on s.student_id = g.student_id
left join tests as t on g.test_id = t.test_id;

student_name | test_name | test_date  | grade
--------------+-----------+------------+-------
joe          | test 1    | 2013-01-20 | A
joe          | test 2    | 2013-02-10 | B
amber        | test 1    | 2013-01-20 | B
amber        | test 1    | 2013-01-20 | A
steve        |           |            |
(5 rows)

One really useful way to use outer joins is when you want to see only rows without matching rows in the related table.  You can also do this with a subquery, but using an outer join isn't a bad option:
select s.student_name
from students as s
left join grades as g on s.student_id = g.student_id
where g.student_id is null;
student_name
--------------
steve
(1 row)

...is functionally equivalent to:
select student_name from students where student_id not in (select student_id from grades);
student_name
--------------
steve
(1 row)

A: You use JOIN when a given id is in both tables that you are joining.
You use LEFT JOIN when a given id is in one table and maybe in the second one
In your case you should select from users and left join sales
SELECT u.user_id, u.fname, u.lname, SUM(s.amount) as total
FROM users u LEFT JOIN sales s ON s.user_id = u.user_id
WHERE s.status = 'S' AND MONTH(s.date) = MONTH(CURDATE()) AND YEAR(s.date) = YEAR(CURDATE())
GROUP BY u.user_id
ORDER BY total DESC LIMIT 5

Note the alias in table naming (users u). Then with that alias you can specify which column from which table to select.
Also I will recommend not to name a column "date" because it's a reserved word by MySQL. See: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/reserved-words.html

A: Introduce a table alias so you can refer to it when referencing fields. Your issue is you have user_id in both tables and you have not defined which table to read the user_id from.
"SELECT s.user_id, u.fname, u.lname, SUM(s.amount) as total
FROM sales AS s
LEFT JOIN users AS u ON
s.user_id = u.user_id


On Tuesday, former NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani said President Bush's decision to commute former Cheney aide "Scooter" Libby's 2 1/2 year sentence for perjury and obstruction of justice was "reasonable" and "correct," despite the fact that the president "quickly made the decision" without consulting the Justice Department or the pardon attorney.
According to Associate Attorney General Rudolph W. Giuliani, executive clemency involves a great number of people and a complex, yearlong procedure. Every request is subject to a detailed inquiry by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, which conducts as many as 50 interviews to flesh out each application. That background investigation is as comprehensive as any the bureau conducts on a prospective United States Attorney, Mr. Giuliani said.
The case is next studied by the pardon attorney, who makes a judgment that Mr. Giuliani reviews. His judgment, in turn, goes to Fred Fielding, the White House counsel who re-examines the files and makes his own judgment. Then, according to Mr. Fielding, every request is presented to the President for his concurrence.
Libby never admitted any guilt nor did Bush consult special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald prior to issuing his commutation. But that didn't stop Giuliani from ignoring his previous standards and concluding that President Bush acted properly.
I think the questions the former president has created here put in doubt the pardon process, and it's not just — you're focusing on the Marc Rich part. He did about 50 that he didn't run through the Justice Department.
Bush didn't run the Libby commutation through the Justice Department either.

Trump on Vaccines and Autism: Pro-Vaccine but Cautious
Dated: April 10, 2016 by Sharyl Attkisson 1 Comment
Sharyl Attkisson: "Viewer question: What's your position on freedom of choice regarding various vaccines that could be dangerous for some children and why is the mere discussion of making vaccines safe censored?"
Donald Trump: "It's the most unbelievable discussion I've ever been involved in. If you say anything about vaccines that is slightly, like...holding back the hate mail, the level of vitriol, it's incredible when you see it. First of all, I'm a big believer in vaccines. But there could something to the theory that these massive doses that are given to children have an impact on autism. There could be something to it. Now some people say no, some people say yes, I'd like to see studies. The bottom line is they have to get vaccinated. When I was going to school as a young guy, polio was a really big problem and vaccines knocked it out. So the vaccines are very important, but we have to study the vaccines and we have to be very, very careful with vaccines."

I believe we should hire U.S. VETERANS for the border patrol. For one, they are trained for combat, second, they would probably make more financially than they do in the military service. Alot of vets have problems finding jobs once their duty time is done. Put them back in the work force protecting our borders.

Oil Spill Reported Off China Coast After Tanker, Bulk Carrier Collide
By Scott Neuman
Costfoto
Tankers unload imported crude oil at the Qingdao crude oil terminal in east China's Shandong Province in February. A tanker anchored off the port was reportedly hit Tuesday by another vessel, causing an oil spill in the Yellow Sea.
A collision between an oil tanker and a bulk carrier off China's east coast port city of Qingdao on Tuesday has resulted in an oil spill in the Yellow Sea, China's maritime safety authority and the ship's Singapore-based operator said.
The nearly 900-foot tanker A Symphony was reportedly at anchor when the other vessel, Sea Justice (about 620 feet) apparently careened into it in waters southeast of Beijing.
"The force of the impact on the forward port side caused a breach in way of No. 2 Port ballast tank, with a quantity of oil lost into the ocean," Goodwood Ship Management, which operates the Suezmax tanker, told Reuters.
Immediately "the master initiated emergency procedures onboard, mobilizing the vessel's oil spill response team and initiating an internal transfer to limit the loss of product," the operator said, suggesting that dense fog at the time might have been a factor.
"All of the crew have since been accounted for, and there are no injuries," the company said in an email. It said the collision occurred about 8:50 a.m. local time (8:50 p.m. Monday ET).
Reuters reported that the collision was also confirmed by China's Shandong Maritime Safety Administration. It said other ships had been warned to stay at least 10 nautical miles (11.5 miles) away from the site but gave no further details, according to The Associated Press.
S&P Global Platts, a London-based provider of energy news, quoted a source at Qingdao port as saying, "Oil has been spilled into the sea, hard to determine the amount, and it's difficult to predict how long it will [take to] be cleared."
In Malaysia earlier this month, the Liberian-flagged tanker A Symphony reportedly took on about 1 million barrels of bitumen — a viscous mixture of hydrocarbons used in road surfacing and roofing — before departing for China, Reuters reported.
A Symphony was built in 2001; Sea Justice is Panamanian flagged and was constructed in 2005.

Australian Government Proposes A$34bn Tax Cut
by Mary Swire, Tax-News.com, Hong Kong
The coalition government of Prime Minister John Howard has announced a plan to provide some A$34 billion (US$30 billion) in personal tax cuts, as the countdown to next month's general election begins.
Presenting the plan to the media on Monday, Treasurer Peter Costello claimed that the tax reform plan will result in a "significant reduction in taxes for all individual taxpayers" and would be a "decisive reform" that would increase competitive of the Australian tax system while maintaining the sustainability of the revenue base.
The tax cuts build on reductions which took effect on July 1, 2007, and will be phased in over three years. Under the reforms, from July 1, 2008:
The Low Income Tax Offset (LITO) will increase from $750 to $1,200, providing an effective tax free threshold of $14,000 (up from $11,000) to those taxpayers eligible for the full LITO;
The 30% threshold will increase from $30,001 to $34,001; and
The 40% threshold will increase to $80,001 and the 45% threshold will increase to $180,001, as announced in the 2007-08 Budget.
From July 1, 2009:
The LITO will increase to $1,350, providing an effective tax free threshold for low income earners of $15,000;
The 30% threshold will increase to $35,001;
The second top marginal rate will be cut from 40 to 38%; and
The top marginal rate will be cut from 45 to 43%.
Senior Australians eligible for the senior Australians tax offset (SATO) and the LITO currently do not pay tax after assessment until they reach an annual income of $25,867 for singles and $21,680 for each member of a couple. From 1 July 2008, these income levels will be lifted to $28,867 for singles and $24,680 for each member of a couple. From 1 July 2009, these incomes levels will be lifted to $29,867 for singles and $25,680 for each member of a couple. By 2010-11, the income levels will be $30,685 for singles and $26,680 for each member of a couple.
The fringe benefits tax rate will also be reduced in line with reductions in the top marginal tax rate (including the Medicare levy), decreasing to 44.5% from 1 April 2009 and to 43.5% from 1 April 2010.
The tax plan is intended to build towards an ambitious new goal for Australia's personal income tax system so that over five years, the personal income tax system will feature:
An enhanced low income tax offset (LITO) that will mean that low income earners will have an effective tax free threshold of at least $20,000;
A rate scale of 15%, 30%, 35%, and 40%;
Forty-five per cent of taxpayers facing a marginal tax rate of 15% or less;
Eighty-five per cent of taxpayers facing a marginal tax rate of 30% or less; and
Ninety-eight per cent of taxpayers facing a marginal tax rate of 35% or less.
Costello stated that these goals can be met if "the expected strong economic and fiscal conditions continue".
The Howard government claims that Australia is a low tax country compared to the standards of the developed world, being ranked the eighth lowest in the 30-member OECD. With the fall in the top marginal tax rate as part of this tax reform, the government says that Australia's attractiveness to highly skilled workers from overseas will be enhanced.
The average ('all in') top marginal rate for OECD countries was 46.6% in 2006. This is around the current 'all in' rate in Australia at present. The plan to lower Australia's top marginal rate to 42% from 1 July 2010 – when the Medicare levy of 1.5% is included – will give an 'all in' top rate of 43.5%, Costello stated.


Crystal Palace manager Alan Pardew is set to shop for a January bargain despite Crystal Palace's recent £100m investment boost.
The Selhurst Park club recently signed a deal with American investors but the Eagles boss is insistent that he won't be splashing the cash in the New Year and has instead set his sights on a bargain defender currently strutting his stuff in the Bundesliga.
According to reports, Pardew is lining up an £800,000 deal to take Stuttgart defender Georg Niedermeier to south-east London.
The 29-year-old started his career at Bayern Munich II, making 86 appearances, but after failing to break into the first team was snapped up by Stuttgart, where he has excelled in many of his 130+ matches so far.
Stuttgart are desperate to keep hold of their man but Niedermeier has rejected the club's latest contract offer and as such will be able to leave as a free agent at the end of the season.
Palace won't be held to ransom, given the player's circumstances, but Pardew is hopeful that a bid of just under £1m will fend off interest from Premier League rivals Sunderland and Norwich.
Both clubs could easily match Palace's offer but is is thought that Niedermeier is not keen to start life in England with a relegation scrap, making the Eagles favourites for his signature.
Palace head into Christmas on a four-game unbeaten streak, with victories over Newcastle, Southampton and Stoke, plus a draw with Everton, meaning Pardew's men look good value at 19/10 for their Boxing Day clash with Bournemouth at Dean Court.
The Cherries are in something of a purple patch too, building on draws with Swansea and Everton to beat Chelsea, Manchester United and West Brom on the spin. Eddie Howe's men can be backed at 7/5, with the chalked up at 23/10.

Indian art galleries move online to beat the lockdown
3 min read . Updated: 27 Aug 2021, 03:25 AM IST Avantika Bhuyan
A still from 'The Reiterators', single-channel looped animation video by Katyayini Gargi. (Courtesy Shrine Empire)
Two new exhibitions are being hosted on the virtual space for the first time
Just when we thought the art world had come to a standstill, with art fairs and exhibitions being cancelled, Indian galleries are trying to reimagine ways to hold shows during the lockdown.
In a novel move, two new exhibitions are being hosted on the virtual space, to be experienced on phones and laptops from homes. With dynamic viewing interfaces, the shows by Shrine Empire, New Delhi, and Tarq, Mumbai, feature works that are relevant to these covid-19 times.
A collection of videos, photographs, drawings and new media present dystopian and utopian images of a post-covid world. But most of all, the two shows hope to highlight that in times of great crisis, art can act as a unifier and elevate spirits.
Speculations on a New World Order by Shrine Empire and Resurgence by Tarq are also experiments about possible new art experiences. The viewing time for Speculations, for instance, is 30 minutes. It starts with a video work by Katyayini Gargi, titled The Reiterators, which shows human beings living in tiny box-like spaces. "It looks at the human condition as a self-absorbed spectacle, unfolding in the privacy of our own 'secure' living quarters, repeating itself endlessly for the comfort of familiarity…," the exhibition note says.
"Even though Katyayini made this video in 2015, it is so relevant in our current context of social isolation. The way we have treated our environment, such self-isolating incidents might occur again. So, is this way of living going to be the new normal?" asks Shefali Somani of the Shrine Empire.
Curated by Anushka Rajendran, the idea behind the exhibition is to not impose an immersive physical encounter with the artwork onto a digital platform. "Rather, the online platform adds its own meaning to the work and the artist's idea," says Rajendran.
Both the shows feature artists who have had a strong connection with ecology and environmental degradation. Resurgence reimagines the state of the world with humans temporarily taken out of the equation. It looks at the idea of healing, while also acknowledging the uncertain socioeconomic times that lie ahead. "We have taken one work from each artist like Nibha Sikander, Parag Tandel, Ronny Sen, Savia Mahajan, Sameer Kulavoor and Soghra Khurasani as representative of their artistic process. The idea is to relook at their works through a new lens and in a new context," says Hena Kapadia of Tarq.
It has been a learning experience to adapt drawings by Bhagwati Prasad, untitled works featuring fused plastic bags and acrylic paper by Aaditi Joshi, screen prints on paper by Sameer Kulavoor, and more, for virtual viewing. "We have photographed and scaled the works in a way best suited for this digital experience. For instance, we have a sculptural work by Savia Mahajan, which we have taken pictures of from every imaginable angle," says Kapadia.
Some works, such as videos, new media, and photos by Chandan Gomes and Sharbendu De, have lent themselves organically to online viewing. Take, for instance, Afrah Shafiq's now-where, which has small QR codes embedded within. The work can be viewed in the context of shared domesticity in times of social isolation. It looks at how a lot of us have been thrust into daily housework for the first time in our lives. now-where also recalls how women across classes have been confined to domestic spaces for centuries. "At first you see this work as an ordinary QR code. But when you zoom in, an array of details emerge. You can scan the codes to watch a film, read a story, essay, poem, comic, listen to music, play a video game, see art and more about the domestic space, as you live and work within it," says Somani.
Speculations on a New World Order can be viewed at https://www.shrineempiregallery.com/exhibition/speculations-on-a-new-world-order/ till 20 May.
Works from Resurgence can be viewed at http://www.tarq.in/exhibition/resurgence/ The show link will go live on 21 April

Posters are found all over the world in public places and are usually visually striking
Posters are found all over the world in public places and are usually visually striking. They are designed to quickly attract the attention of the public and encourage them to react in a special way according to the advert, to make them aware of a political viewpoint, or attend a specific event or to purchase. Poster art was classed as a lower quality of art, but it was still an effective way of communicating a message to a wider audience. Rock posters were also important to the cultural movement of the time because they created a union between the music and the art world that would bring more people together to support a cause. It gained momentum when artists like Andy Warhol and Roy Lichenstein acknowledged their new art form. The 1960's witnessed some of the most important cultural changes in the 20th century including the radical new approach to posters.
With these changes, people became aware of the new constrictions on the availability of goods, although this was felt mostly among the younger generation. They did not place the same value on objects that previous generations had.
The younger generation ignored many products of the industrial consumer society. It was believed the cost of industrial growth wasn't a benefit and produced social unrest. Uncontrolled growth would cause repercussions in industrial development and affect nature and cause damage to the environment, and the ecology. In the 1960 s students rebelled against war, the establishment, industrial society and anyway of life that put goods and profits before people and the environment, the dissatisfaction with contemporary values, also rebelling against the gap between the wealthy and the poor which caused many uprisings across the USA and Europe.
Political and social causes were increasingly being campaigned with posters against the Vietnam war, atomic weapons, hunger and pollution. The Media, easy travel, cameras, reporters were bringing daily evidence to the people, things that had never been seen live before.
The young wanted to experience the east and experiment with their culture, the religion, drugs meditation, yoga fashion mayo Fashion and jackets were popular.
The 1970s brought a greater cultural and social separation between the west and the east as the cold war was ceasing and Russia was now trading with the USA. Cars and televisions became common in the more advanced countries.
"Jack Tworkov, a prominent artist from the fifties and abstract expressionist movement, described how there was a sensibility of the sixties: the emphasis on thingness. Similarly, artists and viewers were, on a quest for the real, for something tangible to hang on."
Among the many posters that could be mentioned Robert Wesley Wilsons posters were controversial. Some he produced showed the sensual side of women, and how it should be acceptable to be a sexual person. People had to suppress their natural urges before the sixties because it wasn't considered the correct behaviour, especially for women. Wilson appeared to show women negatively in his posters by making them sex objects but in reality, was trying to reflect how women were questioning their existence in society. The culture became radical with its open use of drugs and he went on to produce psychedelic posters. Wilson experimented with drugs, and most of his posters had suggestions of being in a hallucination state when made. Wilsons psychedelic style soon became so well-known that more established artists were acknowledging the trend. Wes Wilson was a designer of psychedelic posters, he invented a style that is now associated with the peace movement, psychedelic era, and the 1960s. He was known for inventing and popularizing a psychedelic font around 1966 that made the letters look like they were moving or melting.
