Commissioner Adriana Taylor
Former mayor says nay to an old warhorse
Former Huon Valley councillor Mike Wilson, in a November 28 Mercury article, 'Taylor's plan spurs questions', was critical of Adriana Taylor as a result of a Mercury article, published November 27, headed, 'Taylor-made solution' with a strapline 'Huon Valley Commissioner seeks suitable candidates'.
In the November 28 story, Wilson is quoted thus: "It is not the role of the commissioner to state she will identify potential council candidates and encourage them to stand at the next election." In the same article, it is reported that he said he had written to Premier Will Hodgman and Local Government Minister Peter Gutwein "regarding the [Taylor's] comments".
On the basis of the November 27 article, Wilson's remarks might be viewed as reasonable. But the commissioner didn't see it that way, arguing that the November 27 article had not accurately reflected the sentiments she had expressed in her interview with the Mercury. (The article also didn't reflect this writer's understanding of what the commissioner, for many months, has had in mind about helping potential candidates to understand their responsibilities.)
What Wilson is believed to have said in a media release that Huon News received from him prior to the November 29 council meeting also displeased Taylor. What got her dander up were three observations attributed to Wilson: it seems he had criticised Taylor's role regarding candidates for next year's LG elections, and described her as a caretaker; had complained that the general manager at the time of council's sacking need not have been terminated; and alleged that HVC had "five new ex-Glenorchy Council staff who do not reside in the Huon".
BEFORE getting around to ticking off Wilson, Commissioner Taylor dealt with the November 27 Mercury article. She said at the November 29 council meeting: "There was an article in the Mercury . . . which was an interview . . . which has been misread and misunderstood by some members of the public. Clarification has been issued of the language used in the article and my role as commissioner and how I see the public being involved in elections next year and potential candidates . . . A media release has been issued today to this effect."
Inter alia, the November 29 release, 'Preparing for Huon Valley's future', reads:
The Huon Valley Council commissioner, Adriana Taylor, is encouraging potential candidates to prepare for the council elections next October. [She said:] "I will be organising open workshops for any and all candidates . . . These workshops will be open to anyone wanting to learn more about local government but will be aimed particularly at those nominating . . . I have indicated to the minister that it is very important that the community has enough time to get to know and prepare any prospective councillors. I am already encouraging our communities to identify community leaders to consider standing and for those who know the good leaders to support them to do so . . . it is important for residents to get to know as many candidates as they can so they can make an informed decision . . . Councillors need to represent the views, wishes and concerns of the community. I look forward to contributing to this process."
Nothing much wrong with any of that, though there is perhaps a hint that our politicians today would much prefer us all to accept their "guided democracy" rather than unfettered democracy. But it is nothing that former councillor Wilson should have a problem with.
ADRIANA TAYLOR took over from the sacked nine valley councillors in October 2016 and chaired her first meeting the following month (November 30). Wilson, one of the nine removed councillors, attended that meeting. To my knowledge he did not attend another council meeting until last month (November 29).
At that meeting, Taylor said she was pleased Wilson was present to hear her reaction to his assertions. She bluntly reminded him that her authority as commissioner was no less than that of an elected council: there certainly was no "caretaker" element to her job.
A modified version of her statement at council, issued the following morning, does not contain Taylor's initial observations about Wilson's apparent criticism. Inter alia, that statement reads:
Local government is a public service industry that requires specific skills in such areas as planning, health regulations . . . Employees regularly move from one council to another. We have employees who have worked at Kingborough, Hobart, Clarence, Sorell, Tasman and, no doubt, many other Tasmanian councils . . . And they have employees who have worked here [Huon Valley Council] as well. It's a normal avenue to get more experience and to get promotion.
Huon Valley Council has eight or nine staff who have at some time . . . worked at Glenorchy council . . . Since I have been commissioner, I have been responsible for the employment of one staff member who has worked at Glenorchy . . . that being our GM.
I have no say at all in the employment of any other staff. The employment of all other staff is the prerogative and responsibility of the GM . . . He tells me that . . . he has employed two staff who have previously worked at Glenorchy Council . . .
Innuendos of nepotism and poor governance, apart from being untrue and insulting, do damage to the reputation of this council and the whole community . . .
THOSE WHO read Huon News will recall Mike Wilson as the leader of HVC's six-councillor majority bloc — known in the valley as the Heart of the Huon (HotH). It was a political grouping that, when it suited, could call the shots on any matter that it liked.
Former councillor – Mike Wilson
In a nutshell, with both council management and the Heart of the Huon quite clearly unwilling to co-operate with the then new mayor, Peter Coad — or even, it appeared, to pay serious respect to the office of mayor — council lapsed into dysfunction soon after the newly elected council first met in November 2014. Not much more than six months later, Coad, acknowledging the dysfunction, advised LG Minister Gutwein, who, in September 2015, appointed a board of inquiry, presumably in the hope of sorting out the mess. When the antagonism continued between Coad on one side and management and HotH councillors on the other, Gutwein, in October 2016 — by then armed with the findings of an inquiry into HVC's behaviour — sacked the council and appointed Taylor as commissioner.
MIKE WILSON, before the 2014 election and throughout the life of the subsequent elected council, was a carping critic of Mayor Coad, at council meetings and in Huon News. In one brief theatrical outburst in the council chamber, Wilson accused Coad (who had only two informal supporters — independent Liz Smith and Green Ian Mackintosh) of running a dictatorship.
Former mayor – Peter Coad
Coad — deputy mayor of Port Cygnet Council at the time it was abolished in 1993, HVC's first deputy mayor the same year and an HVC councillor until 2005 — returned to council in 2014 on a reform platform he intended to promote should he also win the mayor's job. His hopes got short shrift from the HotH team. For them, it was very much a case of wanting more of the rubber-stamp, visionless dross that former mayor (now MLC) Robert Armstrong's various majority teams had served up since 2001.
Coad — whose mayoral victory had come as a surprise to his main opponent, Wilson, and probably to the valley's influential behind-the-scenes old guard — found he had inherited a council with no investments in, or coherent plan for, the uncertain future facing the, as usual, struggling valley economy.
WITH that brief backgrounding, it's back to Commissioner Taylor's words at the beginning of the November 29 meeting. Continuing her pre-agenda statement, Taylor said:
. . . the Huon News has brought to my attention today that there has been further comments made in the public forum, I have not seen them but have been told about them, and I have been asked to clarify and comment on some questions. I would like to do so now and I am very pleased to see Mr Wilson in the gallery tonight as I believe these questions came from him and he might be pleased to hear the responses to them.
The HVC November 29, 2017, draft minutes record Taylor's responses to Wilson's apparent criticisms:
It is not the commissioner's role to identify potential council candidates and encourage them to stand at the next council elections. Her role is that of a caretaker until such time as members of the public who believe they have something to contribute to council are elected.
"Commissioner Taylor read an extract from the Ministerial statement provided upon her reappointment and signed by Mr Peter Gutwein dated 17.07.17: "In her role, the commissioner has the powers to perform the functions of the councillors and has been working with council staff to implement the relevant ministerial directions and board of inquiry recommendations.
While the implementation of many of the directions and recommendations are complete, some that are of significant importance to the governance and operations of the Council are still underway. It may take some time before they are finalised and robust enough to properly support an incoming council.
"The work that is still to be completed includes the development and/or finalisation of statements of expectation to manage key relationships within the council, internal and external communication and consultation plans and processes, and a comprehensive councillor induction program in preparation for a new council.
"For clarification, Commissioner Taylor hopes this makes it clear what her role is, and that it is much more than just 'caretaker'."
Simone Watson's termination was unnecessary and unwarranted. [Watson was HVC general manager until her services were terminated, with a payout of as much as, maybe more than, $200,000, a few weeks after Taylor moved in as commissioner in October last year.]"Commissioner Taylor has no comment on this."3. Commissioner Taylor was once mayor of Glenorchy City Council and that we now have five new ex-Glenorchy Council staff who do not reside in the Huon working at the Huon Valley Council. [Taylor, an MLC 2010-2016, was a Glenorchy councillor 1999-2011 and mayor 2005-2011.]"Commissioner Taylor would like to clarify that in actual fact there are probably eight or nine staff that have worked at Glenorchy City Council. Local Government is a public service industry which requires specific skills including such areas as planning, health regulations, compliance with the Local Government Act.
"Employees regularly move from one Council to another. We have employees who have worked at Kingborough, Hobart, Clarence, Sorell, Tasman and no doubt many other Tasmanian Councils as well as interstate ones. And they have employees who have worked here as well. It's a normal avenue to get more experience and to get promotion. When position descriptions are advertised they regularly state 'desirable to have local government experience'.
"Huon Valley Council has eight or nine staff who have at some time in the past worked at Glenorchy Council as well. Since I have been commissioner I have been responsible for the employment of one staff member who has worked at Glenorchy, Kingborough and previously this council. He was employed through a transparent, well documented process, that being our general manager.
"I have no say at all in the employment of any other staff. The employment of all other staff is the prerogative and responsibility of the general manager as the head of our operational arm. He tells me that since his appointment he has had direct involvement in the employment of two staff who have previously worked at Glenorchy council, the director of infrastructure services and the director environment and development services. Each director gave a brief description of their employment history.
"So the statement that we now have five new ex-Glenorchy City Council staff is incorrect. Whether they reside in the Huon Valley or not is immaterial.
"Innuendos of nepotism and poor governance apart from being untrue and insulting do damage to the reputation of this Council and the whole community. I look forward to members of the public bringing their concerns and questions to us, so that we can provide them with more accurate information in future."
THE DAY after the November 29 council meeting, Taylor told Tasmanian Times that her reason for issuing a clarification was that the article in the Mercury had provoked emails and "a comment by Leon Compton on the ABC that clearly misunderstood what I was planning to do next year". Taylor said that Compton had asked GCC commissioner Sue Smith whether "she thought me handpicking councillors for next year was appropriate".
Taylor said that, after writing the media release re her plans for helping candidates, she had an email from the Huon News asking her to comment on three statements made by Mike Wilson.
"I do not know and have not seen to whom those comments were made, only that the Huon News obviously had received them and asked for comment."
She said she had met the Huon News journalist, and, because it was council meeting night, "and for the sake of reassurance for the community that I am not overstepping the mark in my role", she had "decided to share that information with you all at the council meeting".
Taylor said she was particularly pleased that Mike Wilson was present "so that I could give him more accurate information than he obviously had in the hope that we might work more closely in preparation for next year's elections".
A SIDELIGHT to the method of helping candidates understand the role and duties of councillors comes in the form of a request in September from the incorporated Huon Valley Residents and Ratepayers Association for one of HVC's "community grants". [The author declares here that he is a paid-up member of HVRAA because he supports its aims to promote competent and honest local government.]
The association was formed last year with, among its aims, the intention "to provide community representation when the elected councillors were dismissed". It has as its main objective, "helping to ensure that a strong and diverse council is elected at the next elections".
Its application for a $2500 grant described in detail a project that it still intends to carry out. The application listed its "project aims": to increase awareness of the wide range and importance of local government services; to foster public participation through awareness-raising activities; and to encourage members of the community to nominate for election at the 2018 LG elections.
The association told council it would do this by hosting public meetings with relevant guest speakers; printing and distributing brochures; creating and disseminating mainstream media content; generating and sustaining social media interest; and updating the HVRRA website — hvrra.weebly.com — to make it more relevant and informative.
The association told council it had "identified a number of issues relevant to the 2018 local government election". Among them it listed apathy, lack of interest, lack of awareness and an attitude of 'What does HVC actually do for me?'.
HVC grants, among other criteria, are for "annual funding and in-kind assistance to support community projects and programs that have a clear community benefit".
HVRRA's request was not recommended for approval by the assessment panel, consisting of four council staff members, at HVC's October 25 ordinary meeting (item 19.007/17) on the ground that it was, "Ineligible. The project is for ongoing administration or operational costs".
After the October 25 meeting, the association wrote to council to say "we find the assessment of the evaluation panel confusing" and requested a meeting "for clarification". Its approach proved fruitless. At the November 29 HVC meeting, a "2017-18 Community Grants Re-evaluation" (item 19.013/17) was considered. Cygnet Bowls and Community Club, unsuccessful in its initial application, was now on the list, with a grant of $726 to buy a line marker; HVRRA's application had again failed to make the cut. This left $5,976.55 unspent from council's community-grants budget of $25,000.
It's difficult to imagine why council thought the idea of a volunteer community association helping to polish up candidates for next year's LG elections was not a "clear community benefit". It's also difficult to remove from my thoughts the notion that HVC might be determined to keep such a task to itself.
Or it might have been a suspicion that there could be a partisan aspect to HVRRA that disqualifies it from "encourag[ing] members of the community to nominate for election at the 2018 LG elections". That the association — which is open to the membership of anyone who is a resident of the valley, or is a ratepayer to HVC — is an organisation that declares its role to be totally disinterested, and apolitical in its approach to all matters, is reinforced by reliable gossip that one Mike Wilson has applied for membership.
Now that's something, if correct, that tickles my curiosity — and adds to the evidence that the association has wide appeal to valley residents who might be attracted to the idea of an association committed to representing their community interests and problems.
As to finding suitable candidates? God forbid that HVRRA should turn up community leaders gifted with brains, honesty, integrity, independence of mind, and imagination. As a general rule, these qualities don't seem to have been much in demand in the political sphere, especially this past quarter century
A NAGGING THOUGHT. Why is Local Government Minister Peter Gutwein so determined that HVC will not get involved in local government-reform talks with its Kingborough Council neighbour? For some mysterious reason, Gutwein — despite his enthusiastic appeal a couple of years back to councils to get talking about local-government reform among themselves — has segregated HVC from all other councils and virtually barred it from participating in inter-council discussions, especially on the possibility of amalgamations.
Earlier this year, in a letter in a letter to Taylor, Gutwein confirmed this view by stating that he did not support the commissioner having discussions with Kingborough Council. Anything like that, he indicated, should be left to elected representatives.
That may be all high-flown and principled, but why should Commissioner Taylor not check out all the possibilities over the next year (while she continues to collect her $200,000-plus salary), and then assemble a comprehensive backgrounder to the implications of LG reform and possible amalgamation. That would be a mighty helpful document for consideration by what this writer hopes will be a talented new, younger elected council, with each member — impermeable to the wishes of old power brokers — committed to considering every issue on its merits.
One gets the feeling that the Hodgman Liberal Government has something special (but not for airing) in mind — perhaps, for example, the Southwood proposal for a woodchip export pile near Dover — for Tasmania's southernmost municipality and doesn't want its plans hindered by any suggestion of significant co-operation, perhaps even some form of merger or boundary realignment, with Kingborough, a much more enlightened organisation than valley people had to put up with in Huonville before it was sensibly sacked in 2016.
It's most unlikely that the Tasmanian Labor Party would hold a view that differs much from that of the present largely destructive, imagination-poor, muddling Liberal government. One way or another, neither of the big parties seems to have plans to do much about the welfare — environmentally or economically — of the Huon; but they do seem concentrated on ensuring that in the Huon Valley there are as few obstacles as possible in the way of those who would extract millions of dollars from ultimately unviable industries, such as ocean fish-farming, clear-fell logging and woodchipping.
These industries do provide jobs (mostly unskilled). But for how long and at what cost to a lovely valley that should be seeing, and making, its future economy a mix of environmentally sensitive tourism; creative small businesses; and high-tech ventures, especially in renewables such as water, wind and solar and other activities that would make a belated but serious contribution to the ever-more imminent threats of catastrophic global-warming?

Arsenal, Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur
Spurs: Will Their New Stadium Benefit Them
March 28, 2019 Dave Hayes	Leave a comment
Finally, after months of preparation, Spurs are going to be opening their new stadium, so that they can play their home matches there.
Built at a cost of 1billion pounds, and that you can see through the video below, showing the time lapse build.
Which in part explains why there were so many delays and hiccups with it, it finally hosted its first football match last weekend, when Spurs U18s hosted Southampton U18s.
It has been suggested that the Arsenal Clock end and Spurs new stand look eerily similar, prompting Arsenal Fans to suggest that Spurs are obsessed with Arsenal.
Either way the new stadium looks good and with the extra capacity it can now hold, this will surely benefit Spurs, who like Arsenal, are and have been for a number of years, building a squad and bringing through home grown talent.
Under the Ownership of Daniel Levy, who it is rumoured drives a very hard bargain, Spurs are now, on an equal footing, stadium wise with Man City, Arsenal and Man Utd when it comes to the numbers they will now be able to get into the stadium.
TalkSport commentator Ian Abraham, rates the new stadium as one of the best he has seen in Europe, however, while that may be true in his eyes, this will no doubt upset Arsenal Fans, who will see their impressive stadium, as being easier on the eye and with more space all around.
So will Spurs benefit from the new stadium?
The answer to that is yes in the Long run, as long as they can qualify for the champions league each year, then the extra revenue, generated means that they can invest in the right type of players for the first team squad, so that they can mount a serious challenge for the premiership title, which, right now, is just beyond them, compared to the riches held at Liverpool and Man City.
So all in all, Spurs will benefit from the new stadium ?

Every move has unique qualities, from the circumstances surrounding it to the distance traveled. Some people are embarking on a solo trip from coast to coast, and others are moving their entire family just a few states over. But even though every situation is different, there are some common questions almost everyone has.
Some of the bigger issues, like choosing a moving company and getting a quote, are covered in our guide to long-distance moving. But in this post, we take a deeper dive into other questions you may be wondering about.
Find information for planning, packing and executing a long-distance move in these questions and answers.
Summer may be the most convenient time for people to relocate (school is out, and the weather is nice), but it's also the busiest time of year for moving companies. Rates are normally higher in the summer due to increased demand. If you have some flexibility, schedule the move during off-peak times (October to March) when rates are generally lower.
How far in advance should I plan my move?
U-Pack recommends planning your move as early as possible to secure the equipment and move date. Most of our moves are scheduled 4-6 weeks in advance, giving families plenty of time to pack and take care of all the necessary planning tasks.
What paperwork is involved in a long-distance move?
Each company provides different documents. U-Pack sends a Bill of Lading, which serves as a contract and receipt outlining the details of the move. The Bill of Lading is sent via email after reserving your move.
How do I keep my belongings safe?
When loading, it's important to secure your belongings with rope or ratchet straps to prevent items from shifting during transit. Along with tying them down, there are other ways to protect your belongings. With ReloCubes, you can place a lock on the container. With a moving trailer, you install a bulkhead divider wall (most are lockable) after loading the shipment, which stays in place until you remove it and unload at destination. Your household goods are not comingled or transferred. Instead, we fill remaining space in the trailer with commercial goods headed in the same direction (lowering transportation costs for you).
You can also check on the shipment 24/7 with online tracking, available from the U-Pack MyMove dashboard.
Are there items I can't pack?
After reserving your move, U-Pack will send a Do Not Ship list as a part of the Move Plan. It includes flammables, perishables, compressed gasses, explosives and other miscellaneous items. Please make sure to read over this list while packing. You can either use or donate these items before moving, or if you can, keep them with you while traveling.
How do I move my houseplants?
Plants can't travel in the moving equipment, so make sure to have a plan for them. You can keep them with you, however, some states have guidelines for importing plants, so it's important to check with the Department of Agriculture in your new state before moving.
Can I move my pet to a new state?
Pets also can't travel in the moving equipment, so they'll have to travel with you as well. Your new state might have pet import rules surrounding vaccinations or pet permits. Check with local and state departments to make sure you comply before moving with your pet.

The Magic 'Keeper Theory
David De Gea is becoming a subject. He was going to move, it was all but done in terms of our acceptance – I was all ready to wish him well and watch him go. I was at Old Trafford for the last home game of last season and I tell you now, not since Eric Cantona graced that stage have I ever watched a player so intensely. I was looking for anything, disinterest, too long clapping at half time, too much time looking around the stadium, I don't know what I was looking for but some kind of indication that he was leaving. As it happens he limped off and everyone around me filed the biggest lot of conspiracy theories since Oswald 'shot JFK'. He came back for the parade thing at the end of the match and I watched his head go back, and to the left, back and to the left, back and to the left… talking to Ashley Young. The single biggest piece of business we had to do that summer was, I thought, keeping David De Gea.
United seemed ready to play hardball with Real Madrid; Ramos comes to Manchester, David goes to Madrid, could that happen? All the media noises suggested that was the only way a deal would be done. Nothing happened and United fans allowed themselves to possibly get a little giddy at the thought he might stay ours. By hook or by crook we might end up keeping our 'keeper and letting him leave for nothing in the summer. The chess game with Madrid that did include Ramos seems to no longer, the defender has apparently signed a new deal with them.
So what now? We get a 'keeper that won't play because apparently his head isn't in the game. I respect the stance United have taken and part of me thinks Ramos signed a deal at Madrid so that they could screw more money out of us in transfers BUT this could be a massive pissing contest. Oh you think Ramos is the key do you? He stays with us and we'll have your 'keeper for nish in the summer too… Gracias!
As things stand David in the stands is no use to us, could we not play him regardless of what happens with that lot over in Spain? Do we think he would intentionally fuck up, cost us a game, concede a penalty? LVG knows what he is doing and if he says David's cabeza is not with it then who are we to argue. Romero is doing a sterling job, none conceded and some fine saves too despite the fact the oposition haven't really hammered us yet.
LVG says he doesn't know what will happen, but keeping David away from the starting line up suggests he does. Play him Tuesday night, cup tie him and laugh an evil laugh. Club loyalty went out of the window when the class of 92 rode off on their red and white horses. Until the matter is resolved, and he leaves or he stays, play him – is it going to be any worse than David Moyes' start to his season here?
It doesn't seem like United are playing hardball at all any more. We have told Madrid the transfer wont happen without Ramos and he just signed a deal, so playing David would send a message to Madrid that David remains ours – someone knows something, if David ended up staying because no transfer happened before the deadline would he go straight back in to the side? What kind of message does that send, he wasn't focused but now his deal has fallen through we believe he will be? Or because we have completed a deal on the hush that he remains in Manchester for another year and then moves to Madrd, we think he now gives a toss about United again?
It should be about who is on the pitch for United when the game starts, for now though the bigger drama seems to be who is in the stands. Play De Gea and the speculation might not go away but at least we would be doing something, rather than reacting to events in Madrid.

Residents of Detroit suburb Flint, Michigan were startled and some truly frightened when a host of large explosions filled the afternoon sky on Tuesday. The explosions signaled the beginning of an "urban warfare" exercise by the US Army that some fear is meant to train soldiers on how to attack, kill and/or detain American citizens.
"I mean it was loud, it blew up the whole sky or whatever, it was like four or five big bangs," one resident told WNEM-TV.
Explosions you'd expect in a war zone echoed through Flint. People's homes shook and those inside were caught off-guard. It all went down at the shuttered Lowell Junior High on the city's east side.
The blasts are just an Army exercise.
"There's older people, it probably gave them a heart attack or something," Glenn said.
Flint's spokesman Jason Lorenz said the city has been in talks with the army for months now about using parts of the city.
"It's an exercise to help their personnel do training with urban environments," Lorenz said.
That training includes using aircraft and simulated ammunition. It will continue for the next 10 days.
"I think they should have gave us a warning to let us know there was an army thing going on, I really do," Humphrey said.
So, the question remains… will American soldiers mow down and kill their fellow citizens if their officers controlled by the federal government tell them to?
Or will our volunteer force properly refuse to follow unlawful orders like they are also trained to do?
And there's more! Just click HERE!

Challenges to Media Freedom in the Caribbean Sub Region
By: Peter W. Wickham	 Published: 17 May 2018 Topics: media freedom, OECS, sponsorship
"Several countries like Dominica...are affected by a basic economic reality which causes genuine journalism to be practised almost entirely by the state." [Dominica Office of the Prime Minister video]
[This is an excerpt from an article in the special edition of The Round Table: The Commonwealth Journal of International Affairs on media freedom across the Commonwealth]
Across the OECS [Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States] region which comprises several countries the size of Dominica, government generally controls terrestrial television either entirely or partially though a public–private partnership, such as that which exists in Grenada (GBN). There is also another peculiar scenario that is best exemplified in Guyana where terrestrial television licences have been available for some time; however the offering amounts to little more than a re-broadcast of cable offerings with little local content, or news items that repeat government's news releases.
An examination of the management structure of government owned media entities reveals a level of unsophistication in terms of management which facilitates direct control by a Prime Minister or Minister of 'Information'. There is no filter that approaches the independence of the BBC Board of Governors and the best case scenario is a Board of Directors that answers to a Minister either in a corporate capacity or as a section of the Public Service. In such an environment direct and indirect Ministerial influence over editorial content has become the norm in situations where 'satellites' are not directly installed inside media houses.
In an ideal situation, this less desirable scenario would be offset by the existence of a parallel private media environment that offers greater opportunities and financial rewards. It is, however, generally the case in this sub-region that government is the preferred media employer with a capacity to offer greater stability and higher levels of remuneration. The journalist who seeks a rewarding career in journalism therefore faces a choice between economic survival and a nobler path which would not likely endear him or her to the government of the day.
The sub-regional response to this has been a professional migration to state media, while private media has degenerated into a mass of foreign content in the television arena and an abundance of 'call-in' programmes in the realm of radio. These programmes do offer some hope for media freedom; however, the ease and availability means that propaganda can counter propaganda with little in the way of research or production to generate either interest or balance. Worse yet, competing political parties have found it prudent to establish competing radio stations which broadcast competing political messages with little in the way of entertainment or information value.
One of the more insidious practices recently developed is often referred to as 'pay for play' for which there is, of course, no concrete evidence. It would, however, appear that in some media houses where journalists are less-well compensated or perhaps believe themselves to be less-well compensated than they should be, a story, flattering photo or indeed even an attractive headline can be 'purchased'. This, of course, works equally well for the suppression of unflattering stories and is highly effective in an environment where the media product is small and lacks diversity.
More recently the online facilities have become popular and these offer a glimmer of hope in pursuit of media freedom; however, the ease of access to these facilities has meant that we now have several online facilities competing in small markets for comparatively smaller fees. Several of these online entities are therefore one-person operations that are either wholly sponsored by specific interests or lack the production capability to engage with issues beyond the publication of a release of a single interview with an 'expert' on a controversial subject.

Billy Dee Williams Likely to Return for Star Wars: Episode IX
Filed to:Star Wars Episode IX
Lando in Return of the Jedi.
Photo: Lucasfilm
Hello, what have we here?
The Hollywood Reporter says that Billy Dee Williams will return to the role of Lando Calrissian in J.J. Abrams' Star Wars: Episode IX. We've reached out to Lucasfilm for comment and or confirmation and will update if we hear back.
Lando's whereabouts have been one of the biggest questions fans have had since the start of the sequel trilogy. He has not been mentioned in The Force Awakens nor The Last Jedi despite ending Return of the Jedi as one of the most prominent members of the Rebellion. And while he was definitely around before The Force Awakens (as explored in books such as Long Shot and Aftermath) his activities now remain a mystery.
Thankfully, fans have been able to scratch their Lando itch with the character appearing both on Star Wars Rebels (with Williams reprising the role) and in Solo: A Star Wars Story, played in a younger incarnation by Donald Glover.
Rumors of Williams' involvement heated up earlier this month when he had to cancel an upcoming convention appearance because of a filming conflict. Since Episode IX is set to start filming later this month, that seemed like a logical explanation. And, it seems, that was the case.
With filming on the sequel starting soon, a full cast announcement is likely sometime in around early August. Episode IX opens on December 20, 2019.

Verizon Discount : Banker Gurl's More Bang For Your Buck!
I received a mailer yesterday from Verizon advising that I need to re-validate my employement status to keep my discount on the account. I went on to their website and completed the validation to keep my 21% discount! If you have Verizon be sure to check with them if your employer offers any kind of discount through them, I believe they have 100's of businesses that they give discounts to (discount varies by employer), and all you have to do is validate your employement with them occasionally (I think the last time I had to do this was at least 2-3 years ago).


I have been interested in painting and crafts ever since I was very young, watching my father paint every Sunday in Indiana. I have painted and taken watercolor and acrylic classes the past 20 years on and off in Indiana, South Walton County, Fl, and Summit County, CO. It is a joy to do en plein air painting with this group of lovely W.O.W ladies in CO, and plein air painters in Fl. Sometimes I paint from my photos of world travels.
The peacefulness and joy I get, from the challenge of recording the beauty of Co and Fl with a paintbrush, keeps me returning to plein air painting. I'm in awe of the sunsets in Fl and the shadows of mountains. Watercolor is my preferred medium, sometimes diverting to acrylics with applied textures.
I have sold pictures at Arts Quest in Fl., and Summit County, Co. I was in a WOW show in Georgetown, Co. , and sold at our 2013 Breckenridge show at Art Supply. I have shown at Arts Quest in Rosemary Beach, and in the Santa Rosa Beach, Fl library.
I won a Merit Award in South Walton's A plus Art show in 2013 and am presently showing there at the Cultural Arts Alliance building. It is so special when friends purchase my art.
Doing workshops with Co artists, Rita Derju, Debra McAllister, Ann Weaver, Cathy Goodale, Kate Keisler, and Randy Hale in watercolor have been a joy. Also have taken classes in Fl from Susan Lucas, Carol Dickson, and Donnell Clark.

Attempting a Kansas-style switcheroo, former GOP'er begging for Democratic support
Noah RothmanPosted at 7:01 pm on October 9, 2014
With polls suggesting tight races across the United States, which could determine which party controls the U.S. Senate next year, are beginning to trend slightly toward Republican candidates, Democrats are hoping to shake up the conventional wisdom by taking a likely GOP pickup opportunity right off the map. There's just one problem with this strategy: In the process of attempting to split the conservative vote, Democrats are probably helping to consolidate it.
Despite a Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee source telling The Hill in late September that it would be a waste of funds to commit any money to the three-way race in South Dakota between former Republican Gov. Mike Rounds, former GOP Sen. Larry Pressler, and Democrat Rick Weiland, the DSCC decided to do just that this week. The national committee will commit up to $1 million to South Dakota that will be directed toward television advertising and ground operations.
But will that money go to support a candidate or merely to beat up Rounds and attempt to reduce his (rather significant, at the moment) support among South Dakota's likely voters ahead of Election Day? Most presumed that the DSCC's strategy would be the latter; Wieland has not proven an effective candidate and Pressler, Bloomberg reported on Wednesday, could be counted on to caucus with the Democrats if elected.
Sound familiar? It should. This situation is quite similar to that which shook up the race for U.S. Senate in Kansas. While it is far too late for Wieland to drop out of the race in the same way that Democratic Kansas Senate nominee Chad Taylor did, he could elect to suspend his campaign and throw his support behind Pressler. It seems that the former Republican U.S. Senator is angling for just that outcome.
In an interview with The Hill published on Thursday, Pressler said that he would be a "friend of Obama" if he were to return to the Senate. He hinted that he would happily caucus with Democrats in order to ensure Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) remained the upper chamber's majority leader. Pressler added that, while he is not an "Obama supporter" per se, he is a supporter of the Affordable Care Act.
This is an odd strategy. Rounds has been slipping in the polls of South Dakota recently, though only marginally, due in part to a scandal involving some of his appointees allegedly abusing funds for the state's visas-for-investments program. "It may be like Watergate," Pressler told The Hill.
But in the process of seeking to secure the support of Beltway Democrats, Pressler will surely alienate some of the conservative voters who had been backing him in order to cast a protest vote against Rounds.
According to a Survey USA poll, the only public surveys in recent weeks to show Rounds lead over his two opponents in single digit territory, Pressler's support jumped from 25 percent last month to 32 percent today mostly due to the fact that some Republicans were starting to abandon Rounds. SUSA found Pressler securing the support of 31 percent of self-identified Republicans and 26 percent of self-described conservative voters.
I'm not a betting man but, if I were, I would not put much stock in upper Midwestern Republicans and conservatives voting in support of a repentant former Republican who backs Barack Obama, supports the Affordable Care Act, and would vote to ensure Harry Reid retains his role in the leadership.
Pressler and the Democrats do not appear to be playing a winning hand in South Dakota, but a glut of polls released on Wednesday – all of which show Republican candidates leading or rebounding against their left-of-center opponents – a Hail Mary may be the only play Democrats have left.

At the stage when architects or their clients need an accurate portrait of their buildings-to-be, renderers, also called delineators or architectural illustrators, who are often architects themselves, are employed for their special skills.
Architectural drawings function both to describe and entice. Used to sell a project and therefore critical to the success of a firm, they are often beautiful artworks on their own. Unlike most other types of drawings, architectural drawings are not pictures of existing things, but realistic portrayals of complex ideas.
With computers now commonplace in architectural practice, historical architectural drawings in pencil, pen, and watercolor are increasingly valued as compelling art and windows onto the past. Historical architectural drawings are included in the collections of major art museums worldwide.

Ninja Gaiden: Master Collection Review – To Know Neither Good Nor Evil
Stephan Adamus
Ninja Gaiden: Master Collection Review
Ninja Gaiden is one of the greatest action franchises in the history of video games. The original game was an arcade beat 'em up in the style of Double Dragon, but it was Ninja Gaiden for the NES that perfected the action-platforming formula and pioneered quality cutscene storytelling. It is still heavily played by speedrunners worldwide and is a shoo-in for the World Video Game Hall of Fame. Ports aside, the NES game had two excellent sequels made in the same style, and these three games are often referred to as "The Ninja Gaiden Trilogy." This trilogy received sequels for the Sega Game Gear and Sega Master System and a prequel for the Game Boy.
In 2004 the series saw a rebirth, starting with Ninja Gaiden X, a Japan-only mobile phone prequel to the NES trilogy, and Ninja Gaiden, a Devil May Cry-inspired third-person action title for the original Xbox. Ninja Gaiden was upgraded and released as Ninja Gaiden Black, then remade and released for the PS3 as Ninja Gaiden Sigma. Ninja Gaiden II was released for the Xbox 360 and was remade as Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 for the PS3. A prequel to Ninja Gaiden II – called Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword – was released for the Nintendo DS the same year. Ninja Gaiden 3 was released for the Xbox 360 and PS3, then was updated as Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge for the Wii U. Another Japan-only mobile game followed in 2012, and finally, in 2014, Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z was released to very little love for the Xbox 360, PS3, and PC.
I mention all this history because the Ninja Gaiden: Master Collection only contains three of these games: Ninja Gaiden Sigma, Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2, and Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge. This collection should've been called the "Ninja Gaiden Sigma HD Trilogy," as that better explains what you'll find within. It does not contain the classic NES trilogy or the Xbox versions of Ninja Gaiden and Ninja Gaiden II.
I wouldn't necessarily say this is a bad thing. The Ninja Gaiden Sigma Trilogy is still three great versions of three great games. Still, when reviewing something like the Ninja Gaiden: Master Collection, it's essential to inform the potential buyer of exactly what they're getting. I think the title of "Master Collection" is a bit misleading.
What will probably upset most post-2004 Ninja Gaiden fans is that playing the Xbox versions of the first two games isn't an option. This is a potential issue because the first two Sigma games were remakes and not necessarily upgrades in every way. Ninja Gaiden Black expanded the story mode, added new enemies and bosses, modernized the camera controls, included a mission mode, designed extra costumes, and made other tweaks to enemy AI and controls. Many consider this to be the definitive version of Ninja Gaiden. Ninja Gaiden Sigma adds Rachel as a playable character in three new levels, adds extra weapons and spells, improves graphics, and makes several in-game quality of life improvements (such as more save points). Ninja Gaiden Sigma also removed some content like cutscenes, chunks of levels, and costumes. In addition, overall, it was a much easier game. Both versions have their pros and cons, but only the Sigma version is offered in the Master Collection.
Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 has an increased resolution and a better framerate than the Xbox original, but to achieve this, it can't have as many enemies or polygonal objects on the screen. Sigma 2 also has toned down violence, where blood spray is not only lessened but replaced by purple mist. Meanwhile, fallen limbs and foes also disappear much more quickly. Again, it comes down to personal preference as to which version is better, but only the Sigma one is found in this Master Collection. Thankfully Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge was only an improvement on the original, featuring all DLC and several minor enhancements.
Thirsty For More
The three games found in the Ninja Gaiden: Master Collection are great, especially the original (the other two are more of the same). They all look, sound, and play as well or better than any other versions that have been released. If you enjoy third-person action games, the Ninja Gaiden Sigma Trilogy still holds up today. And the original should be required playing, as it is one of the original Xbox's finest exclusives. However, buyers beware that these are only the Sigma versions of the modern Ninja Gaiden Trilogy. I don't want to judge this collection for what I wish it contained (it already has three great games with tons of content), but by calling it a "Master Collection," the game loses a couple of points due to false advertising.

On 15th February the Buddha's death is commemorated in the NE Buddhist Tradition. This month we remember this event and look at the subject of death & dying in Buddhism.
And when he had thus spoken the brethren were silent.
And even the third time the brethren were silent.
This was the last word of the Tathâgata!
11. Then the Blessed One entered into the first stage of deep meditation. And rising out of the first stage he passed into the second. And rising out of the second he passed into the third. And rising out of the third stage he passed into the fourth. And rising out of the fourth stage of deep meditation he entered into the state of mind to which the infinity of space is alone present. And passing out of the mere consciousness of the infinity of space he entered into the state of mind to which the infinity of thought is alone present. And passing out of the mere consciousness of the infinity of thought he entered into a state of mind to which nothing at all was specially present. And passing out of the consciousness of no special object he fell into a state between consciousness and unconsciousness. And passing out of the state between consciousness and unconsciousness he fell into a state in which the consciousness both of sensations and of ideas had wholly passed away.
which nothing at all Is specially present. And passing out of the consciousness of no special object he entered into the state of mind to which the infinity of thought is alone present. And passing out of the mere consciousness of the infinity of thought he entered into the state of mind to which the infinity of space is alone present. And passing out of the mere consciousness of the infinity of space he entered into the fourth stage of deep meditation. And passing out of the fourth stage he entered into the third. And passing out of the third stage he entered into the second. And passing out of the second he entered into the first. And passing out of the first stage of deep meditation he entered into the second. And passing out of the second stage he entered into the third. And passing out of the third stage he entered into the fourth stage of deep meditation. And passing out of the last stage of deep meditation he immediately expired.


This summer heat makes us feel exhausted.
Today is the day of the ox during the period called Doyo(土用). The last 18 days of each season are referred to as Doyo.
The beginning day of Doyo was July 20th this year. On the day, there is a custom of eating Doyo-mochi(土用餅) in Kyoto and Kanazawa.
Nobles of the Imperial Court used to eat miso soup with rice dumplings to beat the summer heat. In the middle of the Edo Period, people came to eat rice cake covered with adzuki bean paste on the first day of Doyo.
People eat broiled eel on the day of the ox in mid-summer to recover from fatigue.
It is said that Hiraga Gennai (平賀 源内, 1729–1779) projected the advertising copy that eating eel helps to beat the summer heat at the request of an eel shopkeeper who had been suffering poor sales of eel in summer.
I found the following waka poem.
"I tell Ishimaro to eat eel because it helps to the summer heat", written by Otomo no Yakamochi(c.718-785) in "Collection of Ten Thousand Leaves"
Hiraga Gennai was a Japanese pharmacologist, student of Western studies, physician, author, painter and inventor in the Edo Period. He also wrote bunraku plays under the name of Fukuuchi Kigai(福内鬼外).
Shinrei Yaguchi no Watashi(神霊矢口渡), one of his plays, was premiered in 1770 as a bunraku play and is still performed nowadays. In this story, a ferryman's daughter sacrifices herself for the man she loves although she know he has a steady partner.

The amazing sight of hundreds of Santas running together round the School's back pitch for charity could be seen in the annual Santa SMile Fun Run this week.
Hundreds of Santas of all shapes and sizes - as well as a few elves and reindeer - were seen running round the School's back pitch this week as the Prep School raised money for the Sue Ryder Thorpe Hall Hospice Appeal in this year's Santa SMile fun run.
Children from Reception to Year 6 donned their Santa hats and outfits and jogged or sprinted round the quarter mile track to complete at least one mile in the sponsored run. Many parents and staff also joined in, making it truly a sight to behold.
Organiser and Director of Sport, Steve Roberts, said he was delighted with the turn out and what a great afternoon everyone had. All of the children received a medal for their efforts and the School is hoping to raise around £600 for the charity.


i almost got hit by lesh's limo on the way out to this show - it ripped from start to finish. the lovelight was massive gravy!
my very first show and what a rockin one!!
I really do not remember the lights coming on early.
I have an almost morbid fascination with this show. This was among my first batch of tapes I got. My roommate played the Estimated for me and I was floored.
The story I have heard is that the show was running long and to break and then come back for an encore would not be feasible. So Lovelight became the hybrid set closer/encore. They rolled right into it out of NFA.
Solid underrated '84 show. Well worth listening to if you like that sort of thing. And if you are reading the comments for this show then I suspect you are!
I wish a good sbd existed. Some of the tapes are good enough, don't get me wrong, but I love this show enough that it needs the matrix treatment! Oh well..crank it up and enjoy!


TORONTO (AP) The Toronto Maple Leafs on Friday promoted Kyle Dubas Nikita Zaitsev Jersey Kids , who at 32 becomes one of the NHL's youngest general managers.Dubas joined the team as assistant general manager in 2014. He is an advocate of analytics and succeeds 75-year-old Lou Lamoriello.Lamoriello shifted to the role of senior adviser last month. Most expected President Brendan Shanahan to choose Dubas or Mark Hunter, another assistant GM with the team.The Maple Leafs set franchise records for points (105) and wins (49) this season but were eliminated in seven games by Boston in the first round of the playoffs.Dubas was responsible for player personnel, the farm system and research and development. He was general manager of the team's AHL affiliate. The Toronto Marlies were AHL regular-season champions for second time in three years.In Dubas' four seasons as Marlies general manager, the affiliate developed eight players on the current Maple Leafs roster: Connor Brown, Connor Carrick, Travis Dermott, Zach Hyman, Andreas Johnsson, Kasperi Kapanen, Josh Leivo and William Nylander.The Maple Leafs have gone young before in the front office. In 1988 Womens Patrick Marleau Jersey , Gord Stellick became the league's then-youngest general manager at 30.John Chayka became the youngest general manager in NHL history in May 2016 when, at 26, he was promoted by the Arizona Coyotes. ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Although Troy Terry is only five games into his NHL career, he was already something of a shootout legend even before he arrived in Anaheim.When he got his first shootout opportunity for the Ducks on Monday night, Terry broke out the same skills he employed to win two enormous shootouts in the world junior championships last year.Terry sent the crowd home happy — with plenty of help from John Gibson, of course.Terry scored the only goal in the shootout, Gibson made 19 saves and the Ducks celebrated the home opener of their 25th anniversary season with a 3-2 victory over the Detroit Red Wings.Jakob Silfverberg scored the tying goal with 11:31 to play, and Hampus Lindholm also scored as the Ducks improved to 3-0-0 for the first time since their 2006-07 Stanley Cup championship season.Terry scored through Jimmy Howard's legs in his fifth NHL game, and Gibson stopped all three Red Wings shooters.Terry famously scored three times for the U.S. junior team against Russia in a semifinal shootout in Montreal in January 2017. He put the puck past Howard with pretty much the same five-hole shot he used three times on Ilya Samsonov in that reputation-making win."There's so much pressure now whenever I jump over the wall to take those Rasmus Andersson Jersey Womens ," Terry said. "I've kind of been known for scoring five-hole, so I figured I'd try it again. Luckily it worked. … It's the weirdest thing. My brain just goes to one thing."Terry also scored the only shootout goal in the championship game against Canada to win the world juniors, but he claims no special expertise in shootout skills. Ducks coach Randy Carlyle disagreed, sending out the rookie as his second shooter."He's made it pretty easy (to choose him), because he's been able to score," Carlyle said. "It was a natural."Tyler Bertuzzi and Darren Helm scored and Howard stopped 24 shots for the Red Wings, who are winless in their first three games. Detroit couldn't hold two leads in a game between two young rosters getting NHL experience on the fly."I think we're just going to stay the course," forward Gustav Nyquist said. "We have liked the way we played, especially the first two games. Today we could be a little better with the puck, but overall we are going to be fine in here if we keep competing the way we are."Exactly 25 years to the day after the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim debuted at Honda Center against the Red Wings William Nylander Jersey , the teams met again in the Ducks' home opener. Detroit spoiled the Mighty Ducks' debut on Oct. 8, 1993, with a 7-2 victory.After starting this season with two road victories despite an injury-depleted roster, Anaheim finally opened its anniversary season at Honda Center, the Ducks' home for their entire existence — and much better known to hockey fans as the Pond.But captain Ryan Getzlaf, NHL MVP Corey Perry, Selke Trophy winner Ryan Kesler and goal-scoring forwards Patrick Eaves and Ondrej Kase all missed the home opener due to injury, while power forward Nick Ritchie is still a contract holdout."They are finding ways to win right now without their big guys in the lineup," Howard said of the Ducks.Six rookies were in the Ducks' starting lineup, underlining Anaheim's commitment to use its ample young talent this season."We put them in situations historically they would play in lower levels Zach Hyman Jersey ," Anaheim coach Randy Carlyle said. "This is the best league in the world. They were in there and survived, so hopefully they feel good about themselves."The Ducks held a brief pregame ceremony in the first chapter of a season-long celebration of the history of an expansion franchise named after a kids' movie as part of the Walt Disney Company's venture into team sports in the 1990s. Owners Henry and Susan Samueli dropped the ceremonial first puck alongside Michael Eisner, the former Disney chairman who guided the franchise into existence.NOTES: Isac Lundestrom, an 18-year-old Swedish center, made his NHL debut for the Ducks. He is the third-youngest player and youngest forward to make his debut with Anaheim. … D Joe Hicketts returned to the Red Wings' lineup after Trevor Daley injured himself in Los Angeles on Sunday night. … The healthy Ducks wore the team's 1993 eggplant-and-jade jerseys during pregame warmups, and they played in their new third jerseys using similar colors and the club's original logo with a duck-bill goalie mask and crossed hockey sticks.UP NEXTRed Wings: Host Toronto on Thursday.Ducks: Host Arizona on Wednesday.
