Leilah Weinraub on exalting hedonism in Shakedown
Leilah Weinraub discusses Shakedown, waiting for the right climate to release her film on black lesbian club nights, the pitfalls of classic documentary practice, and trusting your audience.
Still from Shakedown
Premiering at the Berlin Film Festival, Leilah Weinraub's documentary offers a vivid and radical account of Shakedown, a series of Los Angeles underground club nights from the early noughties. Organised exclusively by and for black lesbians, these parties featured the Shakedown Angels, a group of lap dancers whose explicit and energetic performances involved direct contact with spectators and a liberating absence of any kind of taboo.
Weinraub's rare footage is worth seeing as a window into often ignored, marginalised lives and for its unabashed lack of censorship — yet she pushes the project further. With bold editing choices, juxtaposing the low-fi flyers and the gritty footage from the time with a distorted electronic sound design, Weinraub crafts a visceral and intoxicating experience. Rather than othering her subjects and opting for a sensationalistic approach to an underrepresented lifestyle, Weinraub presents Shakedown with the same open-mindedness and shameless hedonism promoted by the club itself — witnessing the joys and pleasures born from such liberation might make you shed a few inhibitions yourself.
I talked to Weinraub in Berlin about her involvement with Shakedown, waiting for the right climate to release the film in, the pitfalls of classic documentary practice, and trusting your audience.
Seventh Row (7R): How did you first meet the Shakedown Angels?
Leilah Weinraub: I originally asked to work at the club. I went there one night, invited by a friend, and I thought it was a spectacular theatre — everyone was so gorgeous, the vibe was so right.
After going to the club, I decided I really wanted to work there. I learned that Ronnie Ron [the woman who created Shakedown, and whom we see in the film] was the owner, so I went and talked to her. She asked me what I could do, and I said I could take pictures. I was doing still photography then, and I thought working there could evolve into a photo series.
I took pictures for a while, but they were these frozen moments that couldn't capture everything that was happening. There was just too much going on. Photography wasn't the right medium. Everything [in the] pictures was frozen, but the place wasn't frozen — it was … I don't even know what the right word is. Open. And alive.
The first night I filmed, I used a friend's totally normal camera — I think you can see and feel, in the film, the quality of the image, from this early 2000s video camera, with a flip screen and everything. I filmed with that first; then, I got a better camera. I would tape the shows on Thursdays and Fridays, for as long as the club was open.
People knew me as the person with the camera, so sometimes I would be asked to film other things, like a wedding in Las Vegas, or a baby shower, or some crazy party at a race track. People would just invite me to stuff. It was really awesome. I also would edit stuff for them, and even though it would take me about five days, I would only charge $30! But I was still learning how to edit, how to make films… It was an exchange.
7R: There's a bit in Shakedown where Ronnie Ron explains that, at the time, she didn't want too many pictures of the club in magazines because she wanted to keep it underground. How did you deal with that, and what were you doing with the footage at the time?
Leilah Weinraub: I was editing it and sometimes giving it back to whoever was at the party that night. I was open about wanting to make a documentary. It's taken so long that I don't think anyone thought that it would ever be finished.
7R: Even at the time, you knew that you wanted to make a documentary about this?
Leilah Weinraub: Yes. And I was working in film already.

7R: Why did you make Shakedown now?
Leilah Weinraub: It feels like the right climate to release the film in. There isn't so much explaining to do — it can just exist. So many things have changed since 2003 [when the footage was first filmed], at the beginning of reality TV, before celebrity was democratized. Now, we're all constantly broadcasting our personal lives. But at the time, people would still ask not to be taped! They'd use their hands to hide their faces from the camera. That never happens anymore! That was also before Obama was president. I think that him being president changed global culture.
I feel like, if you're making a movie about someone, you have to make the definitive movie about them. So you have to be very conscious about how you're portraying the person. If you just put a judgment on them as "good" or "bad," it's very limiting. With that duality in place, no one can just be who they are. But I believe that, at this point in time, there's a little bit more of an open door for the film to find its audience, and less pressure to be "right" or "good". There's a little more room to just "be."
I was super protective about the film. When you have an idea, there's always this thing where all that everyone ever asks you is: "What are you working on?" There's this pressure to always have a good idea and to rush to publish. But this film was sacred to me. I wanted to make sure that it was released at the right time, in the right way.
7R: There are quite a few explicit images in Shakedown. Did you ever consider cutting them out and toning the film down?
Leilah Weinraub: No. I think that's the film's asset. It's important to see women with each other in this way. What's in the film is important to see.
7R: Often, documentaries about people who were really famous put the subjects on a pedestal and turn them into legends, as opposed to real people. In Shakedown, we get to see the Shakedown Angels as fabulous stars. But in interviews, they reveal their doubts, how they became angels, and how they learned to shed their self-consciousness.
Leilah Weinraub: This interview process is very important. I was trying to make sure that I was coming from a place that was…cool! And interesting. I was trained in documentary filmmaking about labour, so all my questions were formal questions about labour: "What do you do?" "Describe your work." "What's your process of labour?" I was approaching the subjects step by step. "What is your work?" "Do you think it's work?" "How do you feel about that?"
If you start from a place of shame, where this work they were doing is bad, then of course this is all you're going to talk about. But that wasn't in the story, so that's not where we started.

7R: Shakedown has talking head interviews and archival footage — both trademarks of classical documentaries. But the film is also a visceral experience with a visually rich aesthetic and bold editing that doesn't follow documentary conventions. How did you decide on that style, and how did you balance those two very different sensibilities?
Leilah Weinraub: My editor's name is Matt Hollis. We worked very closely together for the past year and a half, maybe a little more than that. There were so many ideas that we were trying to get in there. Although many interviews didn't make it through, they really inform the rest of the film and how we chose to display every single image. The images are imbued with those interviews. There was a wealth of knowledge and images, so it was very hard to consolidate all that into one movie.
When you make a documentary, you can do a lot of explaining. It could be a didactic film where you break it down by category. But I thought that approach had been done before, and that it wouldn't be true to the material. I was trying to get away from the classic documentary formula — I think there's a familiarity with that style that isn't cool. In that style, you problematize something. There has to be a problem, There has to be someone who comes in and solves the problem, and there has to be a winner and a loser. I was not going to do that. You can fabricate any story in that direction, with a three-act structure, a hero or an anti-hero… I don't think that's imaginative.
We had to really turn our minds inside out, try to feel the material that we were working with, and to be true to that. In order to even ask further questions about those people's labour and life, I think you first need to understand the feeling of the space. So that was the first real objective: to make viewers feel what it was like to be there.
7R: There's a scene where you're interviewing Egypt, a former Shakedown Angel, years after the Angels parted. You ask her to read a text that will constitute the voice-over of the film, but you decided to show her rehearsing that reading.
Leilah Weinraub: When I started taking an interest in film, one of the things that I was into was people talking. A lot of the video work that I was interested in was like Paper Tiger TV, a queer video network out of New York. It was really about true vérité cinema, where you are unhinged and you show the process. I wanted to use the power of cinema to create a spectacle, but also to show the truth behind the spectacle.

7R: Has your perception of the time you spent at Shakedown changed since filming?
Leilah Weinraub: This process of opening it up to an audience is like a next level, because they get to be your proxy witness. You get to see the film again through this audience perspective, and it's completely different.
7R: Talking about how you expect the film to find its audience, how did you think about that when you were making the film? Were you just making the film you wanted to make, or did you try to anticipate what the audience would want?
Leilah Weinraub: People tell me a lot about what they think is commercially viable, what would screen in a theatre, what people would like to see; about nudity, about how you have to edit it out. I think that censor laws have worked, in the sense that, now, people will censor themselves without even being asked.
It's the same when people think about the space for a work. They also immediately censor. They say, "Oh no, there's no space for that." I don't believe that's true. I think that audiences are extremely intelligent. I think people are really smart, and really good at watching things.
A lot of people today are like, "people have a short attention span," and I'm like, "a short attention span for bullshit!" You know? People can watch lots of things for a long time if it's good! That's why big budget trailers have to punch you in the first 15 seconds, because the film might not be good enough! I feel like the world is, in reality, really open, even though there are a lot of forces trying to convince us that it's not.

7R: Are you planning on making another film?
Leilah Weinraub: Yes, this year. There's that idea that you think about the same few things for your whole life. I guess the things that I'm thinking about are women, history, the future, and money.

7R: Still a documentary?
Leilah Weinraub: The binary — documentary vs. fiction — is so crazy. I think those genre distinctions are weird. It's crazy to me that people think they are ever not acting.

Sally Potter on The Party's confined, dynamic spaces


The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is proposing new regulations to reduce waste of natural gas from venting, flaring, and leaks during oil and natural gas production activities on onshore Federal and Indian leases. The regulations clarify when produced gas lost through venting, flaring, or leaks is subject to royalties and when oil and gas production used on site would be royalty-free. This proposal is the first time BLM has updated waste provisions in over 30 years.
Update the BLM's existing NTL-4A requirements related to venting, flaring, and royalty –free use of natural gas from onshore Federal and Indian leases.
Prohibit venting, except in certain limited circumstances; limit the rate of routine flaring at development oil wells; require operators to detect and repair leaks; and mandate reductions in venting from: Pneumatic controllers and pneumatic pumps that operate by releasing natural gas; storage vessels; activities to unload liquids from a well; and well drilling, completion, and testing activities.
Operators can make cases against compliance with most of the proposed requirements if complying means that the assets may be abandoned and resources will not be recovered.
For those who are watching NSPS OOOOa developments closely, this rule will look familiar. For more information regarding NSPS OOOOa, click here https://www.federalregister.gov/articles/2015/09/18/2015-21023/oil-and-natural-gas-sector-emission-standards-for-new-and-modified-sources . In essence, the control requirements mirror what is found in NSPS OOOOa, but would apply to both new and existing sources. While many of the requirements found in the BLM rule mirror NSPS OOOOa, there is one interesting deviation: the frequency of LDAR surveys. In NSPS OOOOa, as proposed, the frequency of LDAR surveys would depend on the percentage of leakers found to be leaking during the survey. This approach will require operators to secure component counts at each site in order to determine the percentage of leakers found to be leaking- which can be very cumbersome. However, the BLM rule offers frequency based on the number of leaks found.
Wells that have access to pipeline infrastructure, but flare associated gas due to pipeline limitations, upset conditions, gas processing limitations, or other issues.
BLM is proposing to limit routine flaring of associated gas from development wells to 1,800 Mcf per month, per producing well. BLM is also proposing to create a 2 year renewable exemption from flaring limit, available only for certain existing leases that are located a significant distance from gas processing facilities and flaring at a rate well above the proposed flaring limit.
BLM is also proposing that, prior to bringing wells online to an existing pipeline system, an operator would have to evaluate the pipeline capacity and prepare a plan to minimize waste of associated gas from that well. This evaluation would be required to be submitted alongside the Application for Permit to Drill or reenter (APD).
In addition to these reducing flaring requirements, the BLM proposes to update existing royalty provisions by more specifically defining when a loss of gas would be considered "unavoidable" and royalty free and when it would be considered "avoidable" and subject to royalties.
Under the proposed rule, operators would be required to conduct semi-annual leak inspections at well sites and compressor locations. If an operator finds no more than 2 leaks at a facility for 2 consecutive inspections, the operator can reduce the inspection frequency to annually. If an operator finds more than 2 leaks at facility, the operator must inspect for leaks quarterly. Once a leak is identified, the BLM proposes that the operator would be required to repair the leak as soon as possible, no later than 15 calendar days after discovery.
The BLM is proposing to require operators to replace high bleed pneumatic controllers with low bleed or no bleed pneumatic controllers within 1 year of the effective date of the final rule. This requirement would apply only to pneumatic controllers that are not subject to EPA regulations under NSPS OOOO or OOOOa. For pneumatic pumps, the BLM is proposing to require the operator to either replace a pneumatic chemical injection or diaphragm pump with a zero emissions pump or route the pneumatic chemical injection or diaphragm pump to a flare if a flare is installed at the facility.
The BLM is proposing to address gas losses from existing storage vessels which are not covered by the EPA standards. The BLM also proposes to require that operators route VOC emissions from existing storage vessels subject to the requirements to combustion devices, continuous flares, or sales lines within 6 months are the effect date of the rule.
For wells drilled after the effective date of the rule, the BLM is proposing to prohibit unloading liquids by simply purging the well. The BLM is also proposing to require specified best management practices to minimize venting from liquids unloading at both new and existing wells.
As proposed, the BLM waste requirements for well drilling and completions would extend to both conventional and hydraulically fractured wells, and therefore would apply to a broader set of wells than the EPA regulations propose to cover. Also, the BLM is proposing to allow an operator to demonstrate that it is in compliance with EPA requirements for control of gas from well completions in lieu of compliance with the BLM requirements.


A healthy body leads to a healthy mind and a healthy mind functions better. If you've been working from dawn to dusk, chances are you've not been able to pay much attention to your health. In order to work better one needs to stay fit and feel healthy. Investing in the right gym equipment at home or at work is something that you can benefit from a great deal. Not only does it help you to look good and tone up, it also helps you to burn those excess calories in a healthy manner.
It's tough to stay fit when you've got a tight schedule to deal with. Life today is hectic and most working class people hardly find time for themselves. Your health is important not just so you can stay healthy, but it also helps you perform better at work.
It's a known fact that healthier people fall ill less often as compared to those who don't pay attention to themselves. Weight gain is a common issue with people who don't exercise or eat right. Most people who have a busy schedule don't find enough time to work out or stay fit and this results in a number of unhealthy habits and bad eating habits. Outside food, smoking and alcohol is common among people who have hectic schedules and this affects their health even more.
Weight gain can lead to a number of health related issues and could result in you falling ill more often. This affects your work and you won't be able to deliver the results you've been aiming at. Tiredness and exertion is common amongst people who don't work out on a regular basis and while most people think that exercise will tire them, the fact is it actually makes you feel more active and healthy.

Breastfeeding Moms Have a Target On Their Chest
By Christy Jo Hendricks, IBCLC, CD On May 19, 2013
The national increase in breastfeeding rates has caused the formula companies to stand up and take notice. What is great news for moms, babies and society could prove disastrous for formula companies and their stock holders–unless they can grab part of the growing market.
Formula companies, like most thriving companies, strive to make a profit and constantly plot how to increase their earning. Some companies do this in conscionable ways while others are not so scrupulous–allowing visions of profit to cloud their judgement, they tend to concentrate on profit regardless of quality or health implications. Any assumption that these companies have the best interest of baby in mind is ludicrous. They continue to use the cheapest ingredients (corn syrup, vegetable oil, sucrose, etc) to allow for greater income–the bottom line, their loyalty is to their stock holders and wallets, which leads to many of their marketing strategies.
The earlier a company can obtain a loyal customer the better. Many ads and products vie for the prenatal shopper. Brand loyalty can begin with a selection of prenatal vitamins or supplements. Many pregnant women are succumbing to the offers of registering for baby formula for baby showers and collecting coupons before they even deliver a baby.
Formula companies previously used more passive marketing techniques such as offering free feeding advice on warm lines, suggesting formula for moms on the go, or offering quality gifts to new moms; but the days of subtleties are over. The breastfeeding market has become too large to ignore, so "if you can't beat them, market to them."
Formula advertisers are the kings of spin. Moms have switched to formula after the huge marketing campaign announcing that breastfed babies need a Vitamin D supplement since breast milk does not contain the sunshine vitamin. Of course, none of the ads reveal that breast milk was not meant to contain Vitamin D, which ideally comes from the sun. Since formula contains it, mothers began to question whether or not their milk was complete–the marketing strategy paid off, consumers were either purchasing formula containing Vitamin D or the Vitamin D supplements (manufactures by Enfamil) that state clearly on the box, "Essential for allBreastfed Infants." Of course the box top boasts, the "brand recommended by Pediatricians."
Perhaps the most disturbing trend in formula marketing occurred this month with the release of a new product directly targeting and undermining breastfeeding moms. The May 11, 2013, release of a Similac for Supplementation confirms the company is desperately trying to increase its customer base. This blatant attempt to sabotage the breastfeeding relationship is outrageous. This new product states, "for breastfeeding moms who choose to introduce formula" compared to the other formulas which are only for "formula moms who choose to introduce formula?" This is a pathetic bid for the breastfeeding audience. Unfortunately, it could just work, especially since this message is being perpetuated by a new study released two days later in Pediatrics. The article's release date (occurring the same week this formula hit the shelves) is highly suspect. It may seem like a conspiracy theory, but as well-equipped as the strategists are, the timing is not a coincidence and neither is the correlation between Abbott and the co-author of the study, who was previously employed by the maker of Similac.
The timing could not have been better orchestrated. It would be interesting to see if an advertisement for Similac ran in some of the major papers who posted the flawed supplementation study.
Formula companies seem to have an uncanny way of acquiring prestigious spokespeople for free. First, the doctors in the hospitals, now researchers for Pediatrics. No wonder the companies boast billions in profit annually, they have inside help.
The flawed, and poorly-constructed study published by Pediatrics sent the media on a sharing frenzy. The article made its way into nearly every large newspaper with headlines proclaiming that formula helps to breastfeed (an oxymoron exemplified). Similac, Enfamil, and other artificial human milk companies could not have been handed a better gift. Few editors critiqued or even read the study prior to plastering the headlines across front pages. The study, released online May 13, 2013, and published in Pediatrics, consisted of forty subjects– an anemic sample size. The conclusion, after confirming that 15 of 19 mothers were still breastfeeding at 3 months, compared to 8 of 19 in the control group–a difference of 7 babies–was that babies given formula continue to breastfeed at higher rates. Not only was the study not supported by a clear hypothesis, the subjects were not homogeneous.
The clear conflict of interest was also document by a disclosure statement by the co-author, who "served as a paid consultant for Abbot Nutrition, Mead-Johnson, Nestle SA and Pifzer Consumer Products." Obviously, he must have a bias towards the necessity of formula to serve as a consultant for these companies. In fact, a more responsible study could have centered around supplementation with donor milk, if marketing formula was not one of the goals of this study.Pediatrics and its peer review council will surely continue to come under fire for publishing such an insult to true research. They acted in an irresponsible and unethical manner by endorsing this premature study. Although much of the damage has irreversibly been done, there are several rebuttals and informative articles being shared that are well thought out and deserve recognition It is unfortunate indeed that newspaper editors will not be publishing any of them. Dr. Alison Stuebe a member of Breasfeeding Medicine provides a response to the published study. Dr. Jack Newman added valuable insight to the study by posting his own commentary.
As a service to breastfeeding mothers, and a way to expose the flawed research Birthing, Bonding and Breastfeeding conducted a survey asking mothers to respond if they were able to exclusively breastfed without formula supplementation. Within 24 hours over 340 moms confirmed their breastfeeding relationship was protected by choosing not to supplement. Maybe from this result we could conclude that 99% women who use Facebook exclusively breastfeed. As ridiculous as this statistic is, it shows the parallel to how numbers can be manipulated and the erroneous conclusions which were drawn from the Pediatrics study.
Formula companies are missing out on a large portion of the infant-feeding market. Breastfeeding moms stay vigilant. If you desire to breastfeed exclusively, the evidence is overwhelming in support of avoiding supplementation. Babies are born to breastfeed and the protecting the relationship by keeping Mom and Baby together is the best practice for success. Women who need additional support or medical advice should consult with their breastfeeding-friendly physician, Lactation Consultant and Peer Support Groups.
Writer's Note: I hope we can promote the message that moms do indeed have the milk they need when their babies are born. Products and flawed studies continue to undermine instinct and nature. We need to dispose of the idea that milk will "come in" or that mother's around day 3…engorgement does not have to happen, and if any more milk were available on day one, theoretically the baby could overfeed since all he wants to do is suck! We don't need to "wait" for anything. Just keep the dyad together and all the "issues" can resolve themselves.
Christy Jo Hendricks, IBCLC, CD
Christy was born in Carmel, California, but moved to Idaho where she lived until graduating from high school. Her love for the Pacific Coast brought her back to southern California for college, and she continued to reside in the sunny state while teaching English and administrating for over fifteen years. When she and her husband decided to start a family, she wanted to be a MOM rather than a CEO.
Christy quickly realized her children were her first priority, and anyone could be hired to replace her in any job—except parenting, so she gave up her lectern for a rocking chair. Christy became passionate about helping women breastfeed after she delivered her third child and found out how difficult it was to obtain lactation help. She had a desire to empower other women to have the birth and breastfeeding experiences they desired. When a part-time Public Health Educator position became available, Christy jumped at the chance to serve her community by propagating the message, "Moms were designed to breastfeed."
One of Christy's first creations was the popular "Lego Stack." While at home pondering all the ingredients in breastmilk, she began constructing a 3D display comparing formula ingredients to breastmilk ingredients. This learning tool is circulating the globe, being used in hospitals, public health campaigns and breastfeeding clinics everywhere. See an interactive display of Christy's Lego stack atTexas WIC's website.
Christy became an Internationally Board Certified Lactation Consultant in 2008 after she had acquired over 5,000 hours working one-on-one with postpartum moms. As Christy continued assisting moms, they conveyed to her that their birth experiences were disappointing or unfulfilling. On a mission to advocate for women and to protect their birth experiences, Christy earned her Doula certification through DONA and is pursuing her postpartum Doula training through CAPPA.
Christy continues her work supporting and educating others about breastfeeding through the Grow Our Own IBCLC curriculum she developed. It has been used to educate over 300 women throughout California. She currently teaches the CLE CAPPA Training, attends births, facilitates lactation clinics, educates through speaking engagements and advocates for women in southern California, where she lives with her husband and three children.

When Your Children Are the Children of the World: A Crone's Retrospective on…
How A Weight Loss Clinic "Mistake" And A Shipboard Explosion Sparked The…
Cassie says 9 years ago
It took me 3 weeks to get my daughter off the bottle after the jerks at the hospital gave her one against my wish. She never had an ounce of formula again after she was off the bottle. She breastfed exclusively until 8 months, and extend until 2 years. She had 2 ear infections, one after the other, when she was 11 months old. When she was on formula she was gassy. But after 3 weeks old she never spit up, threw up, or was gassy again. Those 2 ear infections were the only time in her entire life that she was ill. She is 4. She has never had so much as the common cold, despite people around her constantly having it. She never catches it for some reason.
Children who were exclusively breastfed get sick far less than those who drink formula. Until formula companies can outdo the benefits of breastmilk, then al this supplementing nonsense is just going to remain a desperate way to stay afloat. Sorry formula companies, but all the antibodies and supplemental vitamins you've filled your powdered cows milk with, are nothing in comparison to mother nature's own formula 😉

This would occasion no more than a yawn from me, ordinarily, but allow me to point out the kind of people who live on Nantucket (and other islands off the MA coast):
Not that we need any more reasons to never visit Massachusetts, mind you.
(And before anyone gets after me, let me tell you that I've been to Nantucket, Block and Martha's Vineyard in summer — and if anything, the above pics are quite flattering.)

Then we have this lunacy:
The goal is to "reimagine" the traditional family beyond fatherhood and motherhood with such roles being replaced, in a "more universal sense," where children are not "property" of their parents, but "raised by society as a whole."
"I suppose that I'm called to the challenge of thinking about these really difficult questions of how those intimate spheres are affected by capitalism and how they are political.
"The left needs to get a little bit braver also at challenging the rhetoric of motherhood. Because a lot of the people who do mothering, I call them mother-ers to just ram home the point, that we can mother one another after the abolition of the family, this is what will hopefully be lifted up.
"To abolish the family is not to destroy relationships of care and nurturance, but on the contrary, to expand and proliferate them. Reflecting on the conditions of possibility for such universally xenofamilial — that is to say, comradely — kin relations … argues for utopia(nism) in feminist kinship studies."
Nurturance? Xenofamilial? Seriously?
The author of this Marxist lunacy is named Sophie Lewis:
Nah, I'm kidding — that's another Sophie Lewis altogether. This is the expert on "feminist, trans and queer politics and philosophy", who looks exactly as you'd suspect she would:
There's never a ducking-stool at hand when you need one, is there?
I don't know what Sophie #1's opinion on child-rearing is, but I'll take hers ahead of the Marxist's, sight unseen.

Longtime Reader and Total Hottie Mrs. Sorenson is upset by this development:
When Megan Thompson feels unwell while on her period, she can take time off. The 23-year-old can adjust her hours or work flexibly to help cope with severe cramps, migraines and fatigue. But if her period pain gets too bad, the finance company she works for allows her to take additional leave.
"It's so refreshing being able to say to my manager 'I'm on my period' and she knows instantly to offer support," said Megan. "And they actually offer me time off instead of me having to ask for it."
Mrs. Sor asks (and I paraphrase somewhat, to spare my Readers' tender sensibilities):
"WTF is all this nonsense? Whatever happened to just gritting it out? Ditto menopause."
It should come as no surprise that Mrs. Sor is of the old-school Tough Broad type, who takes no guff from anyone — and in fact is pretty much the same as most women of my era and vintage. New Wife's opinions on this are absolutely identical to hers, as are my sister's and, I suspect, all of them. Several of them say things like "That's why Midol was invented" and "Suck it up, sister" when confronted by today's weepy feministicals.
Add to this factors such as long (and often mandatory) pregnancy leave demanded of employers, demands for on-workplace childcare facilities and so on, and you end up with the very reasons why in the not-so recent past women were often not hired by employers: they're just not as productive as men are.
And productivity, lest we forget, is the Holy Grail of any commercial enterprise.
But none of that is important, say the wimmyns, because equality.
Well, if equality means "no special treatment for men", then I should remind everyone that it cuts both ways — except that's not how they want it to work, is it?
…because that's the productivity reality he faces.

This little thread is actually one of the sadder things I've read recently.
It all started here, with a tweet from Dr. Danna Young basically smearing white middle school boys claiming if they're not 'pulled out' they end up in the alt-right pipeline.
The response is pointed, heartfelt and probably fills the heart of every modern feminazi educator with joy because it signifies for them, Mission Accomplished.
And we wonder why the Armed Forces are having trouble recruiting the proper young men…

From the bony* Ann Coulter:
Consistent with liberal psyches, the attack on the Supreme Court last week was completely schizophrenic —
Thursday: HOW DARE YOU TAKE AWAY STATES' RIGHTS ON GUNS!
Friday: HOW DARE YOU GIVE US STATES' RIGHTS ON ABORTION!
[ANSWER: One's in the Constitution, and one isn't.]
Then again, expecting logic (not to say Constitutional familiarity) from the Left will always be a fool's errand.

Oy. As if Hanoi Jane hasn't been enough of a festering pustule on society's buttocks long enough, the tired old tart has to weigh in once again:
Left-wing actress and activist Jane Fonda suggested America "redefine vaginas as AK-47s" in response to the U.S. Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade.
In her case, and by her own admission, her well-trodden vagina is more akin to a rusty old Brown Bess musket, but that's not what I wanted to talk about.
As an AK owner myself, let me say that the AK rifle works perfectly as designed, seldom requires much in the way of cleaning and maintenance, can be shared among friends as often as desired, and as such is about as far from a vagina as one could imagine.
So this unwarranted slight on Mikhail Kalashnikov's excellent device is simply off base — not that this is far from Fonda's norm, though.
And one last thought: a new AK-47 costs about a thousand bucks — and I've known many men who have paid a lot more than that, just for part-ownership of a vagina.

Long Term Thinking
For a long time now, Dudson has adopted a proactive approach towards production methods, introducing new technologies and methods of production to reduce the impact of its manufacturing operations on the environment.
MANUFACTURING CERAMIC products has traditionally been costly to the environment, with firing and glazing in particular requiring high energy use. But with rocketing increases in the price of gas and electricity alongside the detrimental effect on the environment of burning fossil fuels, the situation was fast becoming unsustainable.
A reduction in firing temperature was one possible solution, but previous attempts to achieve this aim had proven to be uneconomic or had resulted in a negative effect on the quality of tableware. However, in 2004, local company Endeka Ceramics embarked upon the development of new energy efficient bodies and glazes to provide a solution to these issues.
"By reducing firing temperatures, thermECO brings benefits to producers, end users, and the environment," explains Stuart Adams, managing director of Endeka Ceramics. "We in the Uk lead the world in low-temperature ceramics, and work continues at Endeka to reduce firing temperatures further and reduce the number of firings required to produce ceramics to ensure that we maintain that lead."
Today, all Dudson ceramic products are protected by a thermECO glaze, one of the new high-performance, energy-efficient products from Endeka Ceramics Ltd. developed during this intensive programme. A low temperature glaze has many benefits for customers, including increased hardness of the glaze, a high-gloss finish and improved metal marking resistance, as well as many benefits to Dudson production:
• Lower temperature firing = less energy used;
• Lower temperature firing = lower emissions;
• Improved stability during firing process = less waste generated;
• Unleaded glaze = cleaner effluent from the glazing process;
• Greater durability of product = a higher level of customer satisfaction
The use of thermECO glaze has been particularly acclaimed in the development of 'Evolution', a new ceramic body developed by Dudson with the prime objective of reducing the carbon footprint created during manufacture. Carbon emissions produced in the manufacture of Evolution are 79 per cent* less than those produced in the manufacture of an equivalent porcelain product. The use of energy efficient glazes demonstrates just one of the many
programme of environmental improvements to the production process.
A recent recycling project concentrated on trying to reduce the amount of glaze used when spraying flatware, with the aim of both reducing the amount of glaze used on a daily basis, and also the quantity of glaze going to waste (effluent.) Any waste glaze was thoroughly cleaned and sent through a filtration system, before being added to new glaze and re-used in the spray-glaze process. The initial trial produced a saving of 40 per cent, and it is hoped that with improvements to the re-claiming process, this figure will increase to an overall saving of 60 per cent of the quantity of glaze used in the spraying process. As the waste glaze is recycled, the quantity going to effluent is negligible, resulting in a positive environmental outcome.
Having been accredited with the ISO14001 Environmental Management Standard, Dudson remains even more committed to a sustainable environmental strategy, developing innovative solutions to reduce the effect of production on the environment.
*According to independent testing by Endeka Ceramics Ltd on kiln firing processes.
Awards – on a Plate
Dudson, which supplied the Award trophies for the event, was thrilled to be short-listed in two categories of the Footprint Awards, as well as being sponsor of the Community vote Award.
The company was runner-up with its once-fired product 'Evolution' in the Sustainable Catering Equipment Award, which diners had the opportunity to see at first hand when they were presented with their main course, which was served on 'Evolution'. Dudson also produced the Award trophies in the form of 'Evolution' plates, which were presented to the winners.
Dudson was also proud to sponsor the Community vote Award. This category was open to anyone to nominate any kind of foodservice business, whether a local tearoom or a chain of nationwide restaurants, that made a difference by putting sustainability at the top of the agenda. The winner was the holland house retreat Centre, the first retreat in the Uk to become a member of the Sustainable restaurant Association. The centre serves local meat and vegetables, locally produced drinks including beer, wine and fruit juice and even has beehives to produce honey.
"The awards recognise the achievements of both companies and individuals within the food service industry in reducing the impact of their actions on the environment. The evening provided an ideal opportunity to demonstrate best practice, promote environmental excellence and encourage everyone to get involved," says Dudson marketing manager Katie Dudson.

Death of ISIS leader al-Baghdadi marks decisive moment in war on terrorism
The death of the reclusive terrorist leader during a US raid in Syria is the culmination of years of setbacks and losses for the once powerful group.

The death of "Islamic State of Iraq and Syria" (ISIS) leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi during a US-led raid in Syria marks a pivotal moment in the war on international terrorism and will likely spell the beginning of the end of the once-powerful group, world leaders and analysts say.
The elusive ISIS leader was killed along with a large number of other ISIS militants in a nighttime raid by US special forces in northwest Syria, which culminated with al-Baghdadi cornered in a tunnel, where he detonated a suicide vest, killing himself and three of his children, confirmed US President Donald Trump Sunday (October 27).
"The thug who tried so hard to intimidate others spent his last moments in utter fear, in total panic and dread, terrified of the American forces bearing down on him," he said.
Al-Baghdadi's death has been reported several times over the years, but Trump said there was no doubt this time, with a DNA field test confirming his identity. The raiding team had both visual and DNA confirmation, said US Defence Secretary Mark Esper.
ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi appeared time-worn in an ISIS video posted earlier this year.

The operation involved eight helicopters flying more than an hour from an undisclosed base.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights had reported that US helicopters dropped forces in an area of Idlib Province, Syria, where they targeted a home and a car outside the village of Barisha.
The operation took place in co-operation with Russia, Syria, Turkey, Iraq and the Kurdish Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), said officials.
Meanwhile, ISIS spokesman Abu Hassan al-Muhajir was "targeted in the village of Ain al-Baydah near Jarablus, in a co-ordinated operation between SDF intelligence and the US army", said SDF commander-in-chief Mazloum Abdi on Twitter.
The United States has confirmed al-Muhajir's death.
Huge blow, but fight continues
World leaders and analysts hailed al-Baghdadi's death as a major milestone in the fight against ISIS.
The operation was "a turning point in our joint fight against terrorism", said Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on Twitter.
"The death of Baghdadi is an important moment in our fight against terror, but the battle against the evil of Daesh is not yet over," British Prime Minister Boris Johnson tweeted Sunday, using another name for ISIS.
"We will work with our coalition partners to bring an end to the murderous, barbaric activities of Daesh once and for all," he said.
"The death of al-Baghdadi is a hard blow against Daesh, but it is just a stage," French President Emmanuel Macron wrote on Twitter. "The fight will continue with our partners in the international coalition to ensure that the terror organisation is definitively defeated. It is our priority."
The international coalition against ISIS comprises 81 members (76 nations and five international organisations) and since 2017 has liberated more than 7.7 million people and 110,000 sq km across Iraq and Syria.
The death of al-Baghdadi "is important not only in reducing terrorist attacks and providing security to Afghanistan, but also to the security and stability of the region and the world", said a statement from the office of Afghan President Ashraf Ghani.
"With the disappearance of the Daesh leader, there will be chaos in the ranks of the group in Afghanistan and the financial and military resources of the group will continue to suffer," said Kabul Khan Tadbir, a military analyst based in Kabul.
Shafatullah Safi, a Kabul-based political analyst, agreed.
"After the death of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, ISIS's Khorasan branch [ISIS-K] in Afghanistan will face many problems. In the short term, it will have a negative impact on its fighters," said Safi. "In the long run, if its Khorasan branch does not pledge allegiance to the new caliphate, Daesh will split up into several divisions."
"In my judgment, the weapon supply chain and other logistic support to ISIS militants is overall a question mark for those joint efforts under way for the elimination of ISIS," said Maj. (ret.) Omar Farooq, an Islamabad-based security analyst.
"Al-Baghdadi was eliminated thanks to intelligence and assistance from a number of countries, which confirms the undeniable truth: the victory over terrorism is possible only through the joint efforts of various countries," said Bolatbek Isayev, a political scientist from Nur-Sultan, Kazakhstan.
"ISIS has many members from Russia and Central Asia. Naturally, they will try to go home, creating a dangerous situation," said Feliks Kulov, a former Kyrgyz prime minister and former chairman of the Kyrgyz State National Security Committee (GKNB).
Trail of bloodshed, brutality
After proclaiming himself "caliph" in July 2014, al-Baghdadi held sway over more than seven million inhabitants across swathes of Syria and Iraq, where ISIS implemented its brutal version of Islamic law.
In his only confirmed public appearance, al-Baghdadi spoke from the al-Nuri Mosque in Mosul, Iraq, in 2014, urging Muslims around the world to pledge allegiance to the so-called "caliphate".
That declaration unleashed a wave of violence that has since killed thousands of civilians, displaced millions more and drawn world powers into the region's conflicts.
Rarely seen even when ISIS was at the peak of its power, the Iraqi native -- believed to be around 48 years old -- virtually vanished as ISIS's territory shrank and as it was reduced to a disparate network of jihadist sleeper cells.
ISIS was declared defeated in Syria by a coalition of forces including Kurdish militia in March 2019.
Al-Baghdadi resurfaced in a video in April. Wearing a wiry grey and red beard and with an assault rifle at his side, he encouraged followers to "take revenge" after the group's territorial defeat.
Al-Baghdadi recently named Abu Abdullah Qardash, also known as Hajji Abdullah, as his successor, according to some rumours.
Following ISIS's defeat in Iraq and Syria, the group attempted to make inroads in Afghanistan and other nearby countries through ISIS-K, its Khorasan branch.
In May, ISIS announced the creation of "Pakistan Province" and claimed that its "Hind Province" branch attacked Indian forces in the Indian-ruled portion of Kashmir.
But Afghan and US forces have squashed ISIS's ambitions in the region.
"Unlike Iraq and Syria, ISIS hasn't gained ground and strength in Afghanistan because ISIS's beliefs go against those of Afghans," said Muhammad Ali Ahmadi, a former deputy governor of Ghazni Province.
"The Afghan and international forces have severely suppressed ISIS, and I think they have a robust plan in place to annihilate the group," said Maj. Gen. Zahir Azimi, a military affairs analyst in Kabul.
"Thousands of ISIS fighters, including their commanders, have been killed in Afghanistan, and death awaits those extremist Taliban fighters who are uninterested in peace and intend to join ISIS," he said in October.
Last December, even al-Qaeda issued a stunning rebuke of ISIS and al-Baghdadi, calling on Muslims everywhere to rise up and destroy the group.
"And today, after their influence waned and the danger they posed in the Levant lapsed, they sprout new branches in many arenas to which they brought scourges and calamities on the mujahideen and more corruption and criminality against the lands and their people," the statement begins.
"This group is emerging once again [in other parts of the world] to write another chapter of treason, treachery and servitude to dubious foreign agendas, demonstrating signs of being agents for and employed by international intelligence services."
"The battle is nearing its end."

"Aladdin's Treasure" is an exceedingly basic hi lo game that over-compensates for it's lack of innovation with ridiculous graphics. The game looks as though 50 school children were told to go to town on it with a set of crayons so vivid that they came with a serious health warning.
The jumbled mess that is the Aladdin's Treasure hi lo game board is a vicious assault on one of my favourite senses, and the orders were clearly "shoot to kill".
I'm all for pretty colours, but not all of them at once.
I like profiteroles, sundaes and apple crumbles too, but we're all fully aware of the dire consequences of such a combination in one sitting. In fact, the likely outcome of such a stomach-churning feast looks a lot like the design of the Aladdin's Treasure game board.
Do yourself (and your poor eyes) a favour and play HiLo Gambler instead.
After you've figured out where it is you're supposed to click to get the game started, you'll find that the actual format of Aladdin's Treasure to be quite disappointing.
All you have to do is guess hi or lo on a fixed number between 1 and 20. That's the long and short of it. You may get rewarded with a 5% or so bonus along the way, but that's as far as the variety goes.
Aladdin's Treasure also seems to enjoy rubbing in losses by not allowing you to quickly move on to the next game. Instead, you are reminded of your failure for a good 5 seconds before having the opportunity to start over again. Thanks for that.
To be honest with you, I'd rather play Laser Escape instead.
Guess hi or lo on a number between 1 and 20 and move along one square if you guess correctly.
Pick up a "shuffle" and a percentage bonus at certain intervals on the game board.
Collect or gamble your winnings at any time.
It's nice that you have some actual goals to aim for in Aladdin's Treasure, but that doesn't make up for the incredibly simple hi-lo guessing game format.
Aladdin's Treasure in more detail.
The game of Aladdin's Treasure is orientated around the squares on a simple game board. The aim of the game is to move as far around the board as possible by correctly guessing higher or lower on a random number between 1 and 20.
For every correct guess you make you will move one square across the board. The win-multiplier for correct guesses varies depending on the starting number, where more difficult numbers and less likely outcomes will have larger payouts. Your winnings are accumulated as you move around the board.
If you manage to reach a corner of the Aladdin's Treasure board you will be rewarded with a "shuffle" and a small bonus that will increase your current winnings by either 5%, 10%, 15% or 20% depending on how far you've made it around the board.
Fact: If you make it to the second or fourth bonus square you have the opportunity to bank 10% of your current winnings before moving on.
You can collect your winnings at any stage of the game, or you can choose to gamble them to move further around the board and win more money.
The payouts for Aladdin's Treasure vary depending on the starting number and whether you choose to go higher or lower on that number.
Note: Remember that the numbers in Aladdin's Treasure range from 1 to 20. You cannot go lower on a 1 or higher on a 20.
If you manage to make it to one of the corners on the board you will be rewarded with a bonus. The bonuses get bigger as you make your way around the board. The bonuses arrive in the following order.
5% bonus after 5 correct guesses.
10% bonus after 9 correct guesses. You are also have the option to bank 10% of your winnings before continuing if you make it to this square.
15% bonus after 14 correct guesses.
20% bonus after 18 correct guesses. Another 10% bank option is available here too.
On each bonus square you will also be rewarded with one "shuffle", which gives the option of shuffling your current number for the chance of getting a better one.

Former Port Authority Director Expected To Plead Guilty To Federal Charges In Bridgegate Scandal
May 1, 2015 /0 Comments/in Crime /by Joe Levin
A pal and political ally of New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is expected to plead guilty Friday for his alleged role in causing gridlock on the George Washington Bridge in 2013, in what Christie's opponents say was retaliation against a local mayor who did not endorse Christie's re-election.
David Wildstein, a Christie appointee who was director of interstate capital projects for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which operates the bridge, is expected to enter the guilty plea at a New Jersey federal courthouse Friday morning, where he is on trial for his alleged role in the scandal that has dogged the New Jersey governor and possible Republican presidential candidate.
Bloomberg News, citing a person close to the matter, reported that the decision by Wildstein may signal that he is cooperating with prosecutors in the probe. A guilty plea from Wildstein would be the first conviction in the scandal that put the outspoken Garden State governor under intense scrutiny that some believed hurt his presidential hopes. A separate investigation ordered by Christie and conducted by a law firm with ties to him determined that he played no role in the affair.
The federal investigation was launched after two of the three access lanes to the bridge in Fort Lee were shut down for four mornings in September 2013, causing massive delays.
The simmering scandal erupted a year ago, with the disclosure of an email from Christie's deputy chief of staff, Bridget Kelly, to Wildstein. It read, "Time for some traffic problems in Fort Lee." Wildstein's reply was, "Got it."
By the time that email was made public, Wildstein had already resigned, as had Bill Baroni, Christie's top appointee to the Port Authority. The governor fired Kelly and cut ties with Bill Stepien, his two-time campaign manager, amid the scandal.
Christie, the former chairman of the Republican Governors Association and an active GOP fund-raiser, has not announced that he will run for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination, but has been widely viewed as a potential candidate. Christie has launched a political action committee that allows him to pay for travel and a staff, for a presidential run.

Alaettin Duman, a teacher in Malaysia who in 2016 was abducted by agents of the notorious Turkish National Intelligence Organisation (MİT) from Malaysia's capital city of Kuala Lumpur over alleged links to the Gülen movement, has been subjected to beating, torture, death threats and staged executions during his pretrial detention in Ankara, according to his cellmate.
His cellmate, identified only by the initials S.T., who has recently been released from jail, told exiled journalist Fatih Akalan during a video interview on Saturday that Duman was threatened with death and subjected to staged executions on several occasions.
S.T. also called on foreign governments to avoid extraditing alleged followers of the Gülen movement to Turkey where they face similar treatment.
Duman (47), one of founders of the Time International School, and Tamer Tıbık (43), the general secretary of the Malaysian-Turkish Chamber of Commerce and Industry — Turkish nationals and believed to be affiliated with the Gülen movement — were kidnapped on Malaysian soil in late 2016.
Duman and Tıbık were taken to a remote wooded area, subjected to torture and abuse and later turned over to Turkish officials to be taken back to Turkey. Both are currently locked up in Ankara's Sincan Prison on trumped-up charges of terror.
The UN and other intergovernmental organizations as well as credible NGOs such as Human Rights Watch (HRW) and Amnesty International have all reported widespread torture and abuse cases in Turkish prisons and detention centers. There have been other cases of attempted kidnapping in Malaysia as well according to reports received by SCF.
Early on Thursday, Kosovo police illegally detained five teachers who used to work at schools affiliated with the Gülen movement and an allegedly movement-affiliated doctor and handed them over to the Turkey's MİT agents.

Is It Time To Get Rid Of Your Bitcoin?
All Tech News > Marketing > eCommerce > Is It Time To Get Rid Of Your Bitcoin?
The price of Bitcoin has plummeted to its lowest level since November 2013, amid fresh fears as to the stability of the cryptocurrency.
It fell below the $200 mark for the first time in over a year, falling to as low as $173 overnight, although it has since recovered to currently sit at around $200, according to CoinDesk's price index.
This marks a dramatic decrease from the highest valuation of Bitcoin at around $1,100 back in December 2013.
The fall follows a number of major sell orders at a number of major Bitcoin exchanges around the world amid fears that the cryptocurrency could be reaching the end of its lifespan.
This has led to several industry observers stating that the Bitcoin bubble could well be about to burst, with prices set to return to the levels seen several years ago following its launch.
Nasdaq market analyst Martin Tillier suggested that the price of Bitcoin will continue to fall, mirroring similar bubbles seen in the gold and real estate markets in recent years.
"Why would the Bitcoin bubble of 2013 be any different?", Tillier asked in his Nasdaq trading blog. "If anything, when looked at it as a deflating bubble, the drop in price has been fairly slow.
The volatility of Bitcoin has always been a risk for investors, especially following some high-profile exchange failures. Last week, UK-based Bitcoin exchange Bitstamp suspended its services after some of its operational wallets were compromised, resulting in a loss of almost 19,000 BTC worth £3.43m.
Last September, the Bank of England also cautioned that Bitcoin could pose a threat to financial stability in the UK should it see widespread adoption, due mainly to Bitcoin's inherent volatility, restrictions on the number of coins in circulation, and the prospect of higher transaction costs.

Q: Getting Operational Error when trying to migrate Django Whenever I try to migrate my application in Django, the python manage.py migrate command throws Operational errors that say:
django.db.utils.OperationalError: table "main_site_prescription" already exists

I tried deleting the table and that didn't work. I tried to --fake the migration, but then the database doesn't recognize the change to models.py. This is thrown on the site when I it tries to use one of the columns in a view:
Exception Type:     OperationalError
Exception Value:    table main_site_event has no column named initiated_by_id

Here are the tables:
sqlite> .tables

and here is the PRAGMA table_info(main_site_event) output...
sqlite> PRAGMA table_info(main_site_event);
0|id|integer|1||1
1|activity|text|1||0
2|time|datetime|1||0
sqlite>

This is the representation in the model...
'''Class representing an event, used for the activity log'''
class Event(models.Model):
    activity = models.TextField(max_length=500, blank=True) # an action from the list of actions
    time = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True) # the time of the action in datetime format
    initiated_by = models.ForeignKey(User, related_name="initiator") # the user who initiated the action
    target_of = models.ForeignKey(User, default = None, related_name="target", null = True) # the user who is the target of the action
    hospitals = models.ForeignKey(Hospital, default=None, null = True)
    prescriptions = models.ForeignKey(Prescription, default=None, null = True)

Which obviously aren't correct (table missing multiple columns)

Is Your Business Ready to Benefit from the NBN?
Light-speed business fibre internet with Alltel fibre 400.
An ultra-fast fibre broadband service built for heavy use.
Apart from delivering your products and services, a vital part of growing a business is investing in future-proof technology that will keep you competitive and in the game. Time is money, and with today's fast-paced world, having a slow business internet connection is much like sending away paying customers.
Other than speed, Australian businesses need to consider what type of internet service stands up to our vast geography and varied weather conditions. Alltel Fibre 400 is a resilient business fibre internet service that uses fibre optic technology to deliver up to 400 Mbps speeds and higher availability rates.
Fibre business internet is a type of connection that transmits data as light signals through materials such as glass or plastic. Compared to copper or cable, this technology transmits a larger amount of data over long distances, in a shorter period of time. This makes it ideal for data-heavy activities such as transferring large files and supporting web applications. Considered the future of connectivity, several countries across the globe have started making fibre the standard for business internet.
The biggest roadblock to adapting fibre among businesses is the prohibitive cost of construction of new connections. Thankfully, provisioning your fibre service doesn't have to cost an arm and a leg. Over a thousand buildings in Australian CBDs have fibre facilities installed and tied back to networks of internet service providers. Alltel Fibre 400 uses existing infrastructure, significantly lowering the cost of fibre internet for businesses like yours.
Why do I need business fibre internet?
Business fibre requires less cables, repeaters, power, and maintenance. Though considerably lighter, fibre is up to 10x more durable than copper cables. It is also less prone to disruption and extreme weather conditions. With minimal noise and signal disruption, it is perfect for businesses where speed and reliability is critical for day to day operations.
Alltel Fibre 400 is an enterprise grade fibre connection that supports heavy usage requirements at an affordable cost. This symmetrical internet service delivers uncapped data, which means you get unlimited uploads and downloads at the same speeds of up to 400 Mbps. This way, businesses can boost productivity with high bandwidth tools and applications that run on a cutting-edge network.
A business fibre internet service with no restrictions.
If the NBN hasn't been rolled out in your area and you're looking for a powerful alternative to ADSL, Alltel Fibre 400 is the best fit for your business. This business internet service is currently availabile in 1,000 buildings across Australian CBDs and growing.
Get 99.5% service availability with a business-grade internet connection, handed off as an Ethernet service.
Unlimited upload and downloads lets you exchange large files, video conference, or connect to a data centre any time of the day.
Get a secured connection with a static IP address that comes included with your fibre internet service.
Run multiple applications such as VPNs and web apps while sharing a single internet connection among 20 users or more.
A network termination unit to connect the service to your internal networks is included with your service.
Supercharge your SmartConnect Hosted PBX, Alltel VoIP, and SIP Trunking Services with our Unlimited Internet offerings.
By using existing fibre facilities, this high performance internet service is easier to order and quicker to provision.
Generate reports, track your usage and view your other Alltel services through MyAlltel, a self-managed web portal.
No need to worry about shaped speeds and overage charges. Your business fibre broadband comes with uncapped uploads and downloads.
No waiting in queue with thousands of residential users. Get immediate access to our fast and friendly customer support team for any concerns.
Our fibre internet plans are offered in 24 and 36 month contract terms. Options for free or discounted installation are available.
By making the fibre facility available to multiple tenants in a building, the initial construction cost becomes divided into many parts, giving you access to lower rates.
Fibre for business is less susceptible to common causes of signal disruptions such as temperature fluctuations, water damage, and electromagnetic radiation.
As a future-proof technology, fibre optics require little to no maintenance.
Agile connectivity that gives you the speed to react, grow and expand.
Join these successful brands who trust Alltel with their communications.

Manitoba's online donor registry adds record 4,500 new registrations
The selfless action of a young Humboldt Bronco hockey player and his family has touched the hearts and minds of Canadians, and Manitobans have responded in a big way to the decision to give the gift of life.
"Since the tragic story broke, Manitobans have been signing up online to donate their organs and tissues to others in need," said Kelvin Goertzen, Minister of Health, Seniors and Active Living. "In just one week, more than 4,500 people have signed up. Now we hope we can keep that generosity going and have 30,000 Manitobans registered by April 30."
After the family of Logan Boulet publically shared their decision to honour their son's wishes by agreeing to donate his organs, 4,587 Manitobans registered to be organ and tissue donors using www.signupforlife.ca. As of today, the registry has more than 27,500 registrations. Since its launch in 2012, the online registry has never experienced traffic like this over such a short period of time.
"Canadians and people from all around the world have been affected by this immense loss of life," said Dr. Faisal Siddiqui, physician with Transplant Manitoba – Gift of Life. "The ability to say yes to organ donation in the midst of a devastating and life-changing event and offer hope to another in need is truly extraordinary."
To maintain the incredible momentum sparked by this tragedy and in honour of NOTDAW, National Organ and Tissue Donation Awareness Week (April 22 – 28), a goal has been set to reach 30,000 registrations by April 30.
"Organ and tissue donation offers hope to those waiting for a life-changing transplant," said Reg Helwer, MLA for Brandon West and chair of Manitoba's Organ and Tissue Donation Task Force. "Knowing your final wishes helps your family make the right decision if and when the time ever comes, so sign up and talk to your loved ones. Logan Boulet's decision to donate his organs is helping Canadians to make something positive out of this tragedy. Please, sign up for life."
