Home Business Companies Satellite boom attracts technology giants
Satellite boom attracts technology giants
Sir Richard Branson's rocket company Virgin Orbit has joined a growing list of private companies that can launch satellites into orbit.
Earlier this month, 10 payloads were lofted on the Virgin Orbit rocket, which was launched from under the wing of one of the entrepreneur's old 747 jumbos.
Sir Richard is hoping to tap into what is a growing market for small, lower-cost satellites.
Space has traditionally had a high barrier to entry. Today, just seven firms make up 75% of the industry, according to Scott Campbell, director at Deloitte Ventures.
The space industry is worth $380bn (£285bn), and 60% of that is commercial. But previously, virtually all investment into space was by governments, he says.
The first real shift came in 2011 when US President Barack Obama opened up space to businesses, and now more disruption is coming.
"The new space race and start-up scene is almost entirely based around space applications: what can I do with data from space?" says Mr Campbell.
Traditionally, building and launching a satellite to collect data or enable communications costs hundreds of millions of dollars.
The satellites weighed up to six tonnes, were the size of a bus, and would be sent up into geostationary orbit – 35,786km (22,236 miles) above the Earth.
But today, you could send up a so-called nanosat weighing just 25-50kg into low-Earth orbit (160-1,000km above Earth) for between $100,000 and $1m.
Launch prices are also falling because technology giants are driving demand, says Mark Boggett, chief executive of British venture capital firm Seraphim Capital.
"Because tech firms need to launch their own satellites in the thousands [for space internet networks], this further drives down the cost of launch and storage for everyone else," he says.
"Whole new industries of businesses can benefit from using this data, essentially democratising space."
And of course, if more data is being transmitted back to Earth, someone will need to process it.
As a result, Deloitte's Scott Campbell has seen "an explosion of businesses around space". In 2011, there were 234 space-related firms in the UK, rising to 948 companies in 2018.
As for satellites, today there are fewer than 9,000 in orbit, according to Seraphim.
OneWeb, SpaceX, Planet, Spire and Amazon have put up 10% of these satellites since 2016, but there are 200 smaller firms behind them who are projected to launch 25,000 satellites over the next four years.
One smaller firm is nanosat manufacturer NanoAvionics, which announced plans in October to create 400 new jobs in the UK. The firm saw revenues soar 300% in the last year.
"In the old days, we launched one satellite that had lots of sensors on it. But today, we've launched hundreds of satellites that have the same one sensor, and that's a much cheaper, repeatable way to do it with more consistent data," says Robin Sampson, head of operations at NanoAvionics UK.
PWC UK's space lead Dinesh Patel says the nanosat market is worth only £1.8bn today, but annual growth rates of 20% are projected.
Satellites have traditionally been used for communications, TV services and tracking the weather, but new cheaper options are attracting tech giants with big plans.
Tom Keane, corporate vice president at Microsoft Azure, tells the BBC that space makes it possible to "move computing to the edge", which means processing data much closer to users' devices than ever before.
"The edge could be anywhere – on a device… you're wearing, it could be something you're carrying, it could be in your car," he says.
"Space allows you to connect all of that infrastructure together, and then you can use artificial intelligence [like] predictive analytics to gain insights over things that were previously not connected together."
Ground stations, which receive data from satellites, are also potential money makers for IT giants.

The #1 excuse I hear is "I'm too busy!" Too busy for what? To make money? Excuses are pathetic. Excuse makers have the same amount of hours in the day as action takers. F*ck your excuses. Saying "I'm too busy" really means "It's not a priority for me," or "I'm too lazy to do that." Either way, excuses will never pay your bills.
What generally happens is people get too busy doing busy work. Turns out, after extensive personal research, busy work does not pay very well.
We get busy doing busy work that doesn't pay us, and it interferes with the real work that needs to get done, that does pay us. It's a vicious cycle to get caught up in. Yet, it consumes a large amount of people in the sales industry.
We spend our time doing low-paying tasks and avoiding the one thing that pays us. CLOSING SALES!
When you say you're too busy, you're saying that you're busier than everybody else who's doing the work. Bill Gates has time to make billions annually, surely you can find time to exercise, close more sales, learn a new technology, further your education or whatever it is you need to do, that you're "too busy" for.
"Too busy" is just an excuse people make in order not to do what they know they need to do. Nobody is too busy. You can always wake up an hour earlier, go to bed an hour later or eat lunch at your desk. If you really want something done, you can do it. Case in point, when busy couples have their first kid, they somehow find the time to take care of the kid on top of their already busy life.
You make time for what you prioritize.
In this video, I'll share with you the way to tackle the excuse of being too busy. Busy doesn't pay the bills. Money does. Never mind the fuzziness, I recorded it after a CrossFit workout as a live stream on Facebook. Take in the context and words and then leave your excuses when you leave this website.

An Alternative History of Silicon Valley Disruption
A few years after the Great Recession, you couldn't scroll through Google Reader without seeing the word "disrupt." TechCrunch named a conference after it, the New York Times named a column after it, investor Marc Andreessen warned that "software disruption" would eat the world; not long after, Peter Thiel, his fellow Facebook board member, called "disrupt" one of his favorite words. (One of the future Trump adviser's least favorite words? "Politics.")
The term "disruptive innovation" was coined by Harvard Business School professor Clayton Christensen in the mid-90's to describe a particular business phenomenon, whereby established companies focus on high-priced products for their existing customers, while disruptors develop simpler, cheaper innovations, introduce the products to a new audience, and eventually displace incumbents. PCs disrupted mainframes, discount stores disrupted department stores, cellphones disrupted landlines, you get the idea.
In Silicon Valley's telling, however, "disruption" became shorthand for something closer to techno-darwinism. By imposing the rules of nature on man-made markets, the theory justified almost any act of upheaval. The companies still standing post-disruption must have survived because they were the fittest.
"Over the next 10 years, I expect many more industries to be disrupted by software, with new world-beating Silicon Valley companies doing the disruption in more cases than not," Andreessen wrote in his seminal 2011 essay on software in the Wall Street Journal. "This problem is even worse than it looks because many workers in existing industries will be stranded on the wrong side of software-based disruption and may never be able to work in their fields again."
Even after the word lost its meaning from overuse, it still suffused our understanding of why the ground beneath our feet felt so shaky. They tried to freak us out and we believed them. Why wouldn't we? Their products were dazzling, sci-fi magic come to life. They transformed our days, our hours, our interior life. Fear of being stranded on "the wrong side," in turn, primed us to look to these world-beating companies to understand what comes next.
It is only now, a decade after the financial crisis, that the American public seems to appreciate that what we thought was disruption worked more like extraction—of our data, our attention, our time, our creativity, our content, our DNA, our homes, our cities, our relationships. The tech visionaries' predictions did not usher us into the future, but rather a future where they are kings.
They promised the open web, we got walled gardens. They promised individual liberty, then broke democracy—and now they've appointed themselves the right men to fix it.
But did the digital revolution have to end in an oligopoly? In our fog of resentment, three recent books argue that the current state of rising inequality was not a technological inevitability. Rather the narrative of disruption duped us into thinking this was a new kind of capitalism. The authors argue that tech companies conquered the world not with software, but via the usual route to power: ducking regulation, squeezing workers, strangling competitors, consolidating power, raising rents, and riding the wave of an economic shift already well underway.
Job Insecurity
Louis Hyman's new book, Temp: How American Work, American Business, and the American Dream Became Temporary, argues that many of the dystopian business practices we associate with fast-growing tech platforms—operating with a small group of well-paid engineers, surrounded by contractors—began in the 1970's when McKinsey consultants and business gurus pushed for flexible labor over job security as a way to maximize profits. But from its earliest days, Silicon Valley said automation was the reason high-tech companies were more profitable and productive.
For instance, in 1984, along with the Macintosh computer, Apple also introduced a $ 20 million "Robot Factory" in Fremont, California, that the company called "the most automated factory in the Western world," even though it was 140 human beings, "mostly women, mostly immigrants–who actually put the Macintosh together," Hyman says. In that, it was like the rest of the fast-growing electronics industry, which relied on undocumented workers and immigrants for its factories and temps for its offices to create a "buffer zone" to keep layoffs off the front page.
Apple's use of the word "robot" turned out to be a "a very important cultural sleight of hand," Hyman says. "This rhetorical distinction helped Silicon Valley employ workers in ways that never would have happened in postwar Detroit," because unofficial and subcontracted workers were not protected by the same wage and safety rights.
To Hyman, an economic historian at Cornell, this explains the absence of labor unions in tech. "Managers wanted obedient employees—preferably immigrants. While technical knowledge, and venture capital, was lauded for the valley's achievements, that success was made possible by a hidden underworld of flexible, poorly paid labor," he writes.
Decades later, Uber could stay flexible because workers had few options. But observers often conflated cause and effect, blaming the gig economy, its use of non-employee contractors, and the unfeeling efficiency of smartphone apps. "Uber did not cause this precarious economy. It is the waste product of the service economy," Hyman counters. "Uber is possible because shift work, even with a W-2 is so bad."
The social disruption came first, and technology was built to exploit it. Nonetheless, Uber's association with our ruthless app-driven future served the company well. Regulators were reluctant to enforce the law not only because consumers loved the convenience, but also because we were told that technology made this business model—which shifted risk to cities, workers, and citizens—inevitable.
It may seem self-evident that Silicon Valley is not the alpha and omega of economic change. In fact, the critiques in these books resonate not because they expose the industry's villainous core or reveal some nefarious intent, but because the authors provide context missing from the tech industry's often ahistoric version of events. The ruminations on technology are tucked between chapters on Wall Street, big pharma, robber barons, the Sackler family, and McKinsey, gently eroding the idea that the tech industry operates (and should be treated) differently.
The Risk and Reward of Innovation
In The Value of Everything: Making and Taking in the Global Economy, economist Mariana Mazzucato chips away at another myth of Silicon Valley exceptionalism: the idea that big tech and its investors deserve massive profits because they are risk-taking innovators who create value, rather than extract it. "In the case of venture capitalists," Mazzucato writes, "their real genius appears to lie in their timing: their ability to enter a sector late, after the highest development risks had already been taken, but at an optimum moment to make a killing."
Much of the hard work of innovation, she argues, has been funded by the government, which sees little direct return. Contrary to tech industry sneering, public funds are responsible for a lot of the technology we attribute to Silicon Valley. Mazzucato points out that GPS was funded by the US Navy, touchscreen display was backed by the CIA, both the internet and SIRI were funded by the Pentagon's DARPA, and Google's search algorithm was funded by a National Science Foundation grant.
Yet the government reaps few of the rewards. For instance, the same year the government loaned $ 535 million to solar-power company Solyndra, it also loaned Tesla $ 465 million. "Taxpayers footed the bill for Solyndra's losses—yet got hardly any of Tesla's" gains, she says. Solyndra has become "a byword for the government's sorry track record when it came to picking winners," a story that has helped keep regulators at bay, she says.
In theory, Mazzucato says, the public sector gets paid back through indirect means, like higher tax receipts, or public good. Instead, the "persuasive narrative" that technological progress would not be possible without Silicon Valley has enabled it to privatize the profits from big data, while offloading all the risks.
Advocacy as Prophecy
In Winners Take All: The Elite Charade of Changing the World, journalist Anand Giridharadas unpacks the same penchant for prediction when it's applied to philanthropy instead of the free market.
Giridharadas takes readers aboard Summit at Sea, a startup conference on a cruise ship, where world-changers have gathered for a panel on storytelling from investor Shervin Pishevar, who urges the crowd to keep their bodies alive because genetic research that prolongs the human life span will soon arrive. "The idea of retiring at 70 is gonna seem like people telling you at 30 to retire," Pishevar said.
Giridharadas argues that this is a reflection not of where science is headed, but rather the type of causes favored by tech donors. "Longer lives for rich people were just something that happened to be coming down the pipe. Not so much better healthcare system for all," he writes.
"Here Pishevar was engaging in advocacy that disguised itself as prophecy," Giridharadas writes. "VCs and entrepreneurs are considered by many to be thinkers these days, their commercial utterances treated like ideas, and these ideas are often in the future tense: claims about the next world, forged by adding up the theses of their portfolio companies to extrapolating rom their own startup mission statement"
The weather has turned on tech since Giridharadas stepped off that cruise. The arguments in these books would've been shrugged off a few years ago, now the authors are invited to give talks at tech events. On Capitol Hill, regulators have finally found their voice; in Silicon Valley, companies are acting contrite. But look a little closer and it's clear they are still pitching a future where disruptors know best. AI can fix hate speech and misinformation. China is better off with Google's censored search. Basic income will set us free.
In a winners-take-all economy, it's hard to prove the rulers wrong. But if the tech backlash wants to become more than just the next chapter in their myth, we have to question the fitness of the companies that survived.

Facebook to allow users to clear browsing history with new feature
May 1, 2018 6:05 pm|Comments (0)
(Reuters) – Facebook Inc (FB.O) Chief Executive Officer Mark Zuckerberg said on Tuesday the social network is building a new privacy control called "clear history" to allow users to delete browsing history.
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg speaks at Facebook Inc's annual F8 developers conference in San Jose, California, U.S. May 1, 2018. REUTERS/Stephen Lam
Zuckerberg, in a post on his Facebook account, said he will discuss the feature at Facebook's annual F8 conference which begins today.
"This feature will enable you to see the websites and apps that send us information when you use them, delete this information from your account, and turn off our ability to store it associated with your account going forward," the company said in a separate blog post.( here )
Zuckerberg compared the new tool to the option of clearing cookies in a browser, which he said can make parts of the user experience worse as users may have to reconfigure things.
Facebook said it will take a few months to build the update, adding the company will work with privacy advocates, academics, policymakers and regulators to get their input on the new approach.
Tech companies are under intense scrutiny about how they protect customer data after Facebook was embroiled in a huge scandal where millions of users' data were improperly accessed by a political consultancy.
"One thing I learned from my experience testifying in Congress is that I didn't have clear enough answers to some of the questions about data," Zuckerberg wrote.

An American Made History Winning the Boston Marathon (While Displaying a Stunning Level of Sportsmanship)
April 17, 2018 6:05 pm|Comments (0)
With nearly 30,000 runners faring through the wind and rain, the Boston Marathon is officially complete and Desiree Linden was crowned the first American woman to win since 1985, which is an incredible feat. Known as one of the most exclusive marathon's in the world, to say the competition is 'fierce' would be an understatement. However, if you haven't yet heard of Linden's unfathomable display of sportsmanship, prepared to be humbled.
The 'Detour'
One of the clear favorites to win was American, Shalane Flanagan, who is the defending champion of the 2017 New York City Marathon (back in November). However, one hour in, Flanagan had to take an unexpected 13-second break to use the restroom (or "portable facility" as announcers call it).

— Nick Zaccardi (@nzaccardi) April 16, 2018
The Epic Sportsmanship Gesture
In an unusual and surprising move, fellow American Desiree Linden decided to wait back with Flanagan for those 13-seconds. Let's put that into perspective for a moment. In 2017, here were the times of the top 3 finishes on the Women's side:
Take note that there were less than 2 minutes that separate first and third place, and merely 9 seconds separating second and third. Linden risked 13, critical seconds.
An Unparalleled Lesson in Respect
Where there's speculation that the move was strategic on Linden's part, it was an extremely risky decision — one that can only exemplify an unparalleled level of respect for a peer. The fact that Linden was still able to pull ahead and win is even more incredible.
All in all, I'm humbled. To see sportsmanship displayed at such an elite, competitive level is simply humbling.
Everyone loves to win — winning against the odds and with dignity? Now that is powerful.

First Ebola Cases Confirmed In Uganda
By LeeAnne Lowry
The three cases are the first confirmed Ebola cases in the country since an outbreak started in neighboring Congo last year.
Three people in Uganda have been diagnosed with Ebola. They're the first confirmed cases in the country since an outbreak started in neighboring Congo last August. That outbreak's infected over 2,000 people and killed more than 1,300.
The first case in Uganda confirmed Tuesday was a 5-year-old boy. He died Wednesday morning.
His grandmother and 3-year-old brother have also been diagnosed with the disease and are quarantined. Other family members are being monitored.
The family traveled into Uganda from Congo, but it's unclear how they made it through. Since the Congo outbreak started, people traveling into Uganda have been screened for Ebola at the border.
Uganda's been bracing for the possibility of an epidemic. It started vaccinating against Ebola in November. It's the first time any country has vaccinated against the disease preventively. Almost 5,000 health workers have already been immunized.
A World Health Organization spokesperson said a committee may meet to reassess a decision made in April to not declare the outbreak an international emergency.


School Bus Accident Lawyer | Cohen & Cohen, P.C.
A school bus accident is every parent's nightmare. While they may not occur as often as automobile crashes, bus accidents happen far more frequently than we may think. When you send your child off to school, the last thing you should have to think about is the thought of them getting injured in their trip to school. However, these accidents do happen and the consequences should not be taken lightly. The injuries that result from a school bus accident can be very serious, especially because children are one of the most vulnerable demographics to injury. If your child or another child you know has suffered an injury from a bus accident, it may be in your best interest to reach out to Cohen & Cohen, P.C., a trusted law firm of the Washington DC, Maryland, Virginia, and surrounding areas that specializes in school bus accident cases.
When you decide to send your child off on their way to school by means of bus, you are primarily putting your full trust in the bus driver and the bus company to transport your child to and from school safely. You trust that the bus is properly maintained, trust that the driver is adequately trained, and most importantly, you trust that the driver will do everything in their power to make sure the duration of the bus ride is safe. While many bus drivers and companies live up to these standards, there are always exceptions. After all, bus drivers are people. They are prone to making mistakes just like everybody else. You can only hope that mistake isn't going to cost your child a serious injury that may last for a lifetime.
Regardless of the cause, school bus accidents can lead to serious injuries for your child. These can carry a large emotional impact and an even larger bill. Injuries are costly, and it shouldn't be your responsibility to have to worry about fronting the bill. If your child has suffered from a school bus accident, do not hesitate to reach out to Cohen & Cohen, P.C. and we will be more than happy to set you up with a skilled school bus accident lawyer on our team.


I went to New Jersey after I completed my final exam last Wed. It was a decent trip. I was around the Newark area. On the way home Friday afternoon, I flew through O'hare. What a mess. I ended up being delayed by about 3 hours. I haven't been able to figure out why there were delays. There were several flights that were cancelled actually. The problem is that Ohare is not big enough for the amount of people that go through it. That place was so crowded. There was no place to sit down. It was ridiculuous. In addition, Ohare is another one of those airports that does not provide free wireless internet. That should be illegal.
Since I am going to be travelling, I need to choose one airline and try to stick with them so that I can get a lot of frequent flyer miles, and take a nice vacation sometime. I need to sit down and look at the places I need to go, and what airline can get me there.

Ben Haynes (born 27 June 1981) is an Australian rules footballer who played in the Australian Football League (AFL) for Richmond and Essendon Football Clubs and in the South Australian National Football League (SANFL) for West Adelaide Football Club.He also played for Melton south panthers.
Haynes was rookie-listed at Richmond before his elevated to the main list for the 2000 AFL season. After making his senior debut on 16 July 2000 against Fremantle Football Club at the WACA Ground, Haynes played five games for Richmond before his delistment after the 2001 AFL season.
Essendon added him to their rookie list in 2002 and elevated him to the senior list for the 2003 AFL season. Haynes played 21 games for Essendon, including finals football, and was delisted after the 2005 AFL season.
Haynes joined SANFL club West Adelaide in 2006, winning the club's Best & Fairest award in the same season.
In 2007 Haynes joined YVMDFL 1st Division club Silvan, kicking 119 goals,(including 5 in the Grand Final) alongside ex Essendon teammate Gary Moorcroft who also kicked 119 goals in 2007, leading Silvan to a dominant premiership. In 2008 Haynes took over the senior coaching role at Silvan, leading the club to an undefeated season, and securing the clubs first back to back premierships! After stepping down from his coaching role at Silvan at the end of 2009, Haynes joined Maribyrnong Park, where, ironically as he did at Silvan, played a pivotal role in securing the Lions first ever, back to back 1st Division premierships too! In difficult conditions, Haynes was a clear standout in the Grand Final, and was awarded the Best on Ground Medal for his dominate performance. In 2011 Haynes joined the Montmorency Football Club in the Northern Football League, where he played out his remaining years, unfortunately not adding to his premiership tally. After retiring from playing at the end of the 2015 season, Haynes was appointed senior coach at Montmorency, where he led the Magpies from 2016 to 2018. After which, Haynes remained involved at Montmorency in various off field roles. Haynes is now enjoying life post football with wife, Jenelle and their three young children.

In his Webstock talk, Aza Raskin shared his thoughts on design and constraints.
The most profound point in his talk is that before offering any solution, we as designers need to find the right problem to solve. Finding the right problem is the most important part of design.
Q: How to reduce CO2 emission?
A: Enforce public transportation, reduce usage of air conditioners and heaters, etc.
Q: How to stop global warming?
A: Carbon trading, green plants, clean energy, etc.
The difference between the two sets of questions is that it gives different constraints (explicit or implicit) to the solution. So the shape of the solution differs but they each fits in the constraints naturally.
Christopher Alexander writes about the same point in his book Notes on the Synthesis of Form.
Ask good questions to define the problem, then solution will emerge.

Q: How to find all documents with specific string in field?(Elasticsearch) I have a document with fields:
"provider": "AppStore",
"device_model": "iPad3,6[graphicsDeviceName: PowerVR SGX 554]",
"days_in_game": 34,

And I need to get all documents with iPad string in device_model!
Is it possible?

A: There are two types of search queries in Elasticsearch ie. term queries and match queries. The match first analyzes the query string, then looks for documents containing the words in the query and returns result depending upon how closely it matches.
What the term query does is basically a yes or no query and will return only the documents that have an exact match.
I think for your case a term query is better fit. And since field does not contain the exact word iPad but something like iPad3 you should use a prefix, wildcard or possibly a regexp query depending upon what your document actually contain(take a look at this)
You could use the following query:
{
  "query": {
    "prefix": {
      "device_model": "iPad"
    }
}

Gold King Spill Daylights EPA's Poor Remediation Practices
September 2015 | Features
Water flows through a series of retention ponds built to contain the Gold King mine wastewater after the accident occured near Silverton, Colorado. (AP Photo/Brennan Linsley)
Other sites in the region have been treated successfully using different techniques
By Steve Fiscor, Editor-in-Chief
On August 5, Environmental Restoration, a contractor working on behalf of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to investigate and address contamination from abandoned hard rock mines in San Juan County, Colorado, USA, accidentally released 3 million gallons of water from the Gold King mine into the upper portions of Cement Creek. It was clear from the onset that the current EPA administrator had no idea what was happening at the site. The agency and its contractor were unprepared for a worst case scenario and, when it occurred, they failed to handle it appropriately.
The EPA took ownership of the incident and defended its poor performance, saying it's more accustomed to cleaning up messes, than creating them. That response may identify the real problem more clearly than the agency intended. If it were judged on its past performance, one could easily determine that the EPA is not qualified to handle this type of remediation work. Those who are most familiar with the agency's dam-and-treat approach to mine discharge knew it was only a matter of time before something like this occurred again.
Gold King mine owner Todd Hennis has been quite vocal about the incident. He sees the EPA as part of the problem and he also blames the Sunnyside Gold Corp. and its owner Kinross Gold for installing bulkheads in the American Tunnel at the Sunnyside mine. The engineered concrete structures are working, but he believes the bulkeads are causing much greater amounts of water to back up inside the mountain known as Bonita Peak. Sunnyside disagrees. They said the concrete bulkheads meet regulatory standards. They followed proper procedures in closing the mine in a region where many others have simply walked away from the properties.
Meanwhile, water quality in the Upper Animas (UA) district is deteriorating. If Hennis is right, the Gold King spill could be a warning signal that a much larger release is imminent. Installing a water treatment facility and dewatering the Sunnyside mine would be an expensive proposition. That or a variation and some hydrological source control in the upper reaches of the UA drainage, however, might be what the district needs to avoid a Superfund designation or remove the designation if that's the EPA's next move.
The Superfund designation could become a nightmare scenario for local residents. Colorado has at least eight Superfund sites tied to hard rock mining that have been on the National Priorities List (NPL) for 30 years or more and only one has been cleaned up.
Similar sites in the region have been successfully remediated. The difference is that a mining company and its engineers took the lead on the project not the EPA. They used a source control approach that kept water from infiltrating the abandoned mine. They were committed to solving the problem and they were prepared for worst case scenarios.
WHAT WAS THE EPA DOING?
The UA watershed covers approximately 140 square miles of one of the richest mineralized zones in the United States, the Silverton Caldera. Mining activities began in Silverton around 1870 and ended in 1991. More than 300 former mines have been identified in the area and they have all increased the exposure of mineralized formations to ground water.
The EPA began conducting Superfund Site Assessments in the region in the 1990s. They identified impact to aquatic life in the UA and its tributaries from both naturally occurring and mining-related heavy metals. The agency also recognized a community-based collaborative effort that was under way at that time to address those impacts. The EPA agreed to postpone adding the site to the Superfund NPL, as long as progress was being made to improve the water quality of the Animas River.
The Animas River continued to improve until 2005. Then water quality for at least 20 miles below the confluence with Cement Creek began to decline significantly. In 2008, EPA's Superfund Site Assess-
ment program began investigations in Upper Cement Creek focused on evaluating whether that area alone would qualify for NPL. This evaluation indicated it would. After receiving additional community input, the EPA again postponed the decision.
Since that time, the EPA has continued and broadened its investigations of conditions at the UA Mining District site. Last year, the agency decided to reopen the Gold King mine portal. "It was late in the season when they started to open it," Hennis said. "They decided they did not have time to finish the portal work and treat the discharge water, so they backfilled the No. 7 Level portal site to prevent a blowout during the winter. That is what we believe led to the blowout in August. They were doing the right thing, but like the Titanic, a combination of minor problems culminated in a major incident."
THE DEBATE OVER THE SUNNYSIDE MINE POOL
The Silverton Caldera is also home to the historic Sunnyside gold mine, which had about 100 miles of mine workings. According to Hennis, the mountain, Bonita Peak, is fractured, folded, fissured, and filled with exploration drill holes, and it's unreasonable to expect bulk-heading to work in these geologic conditions.
The problem lies inside of Bonita Peak, according to Hennis, and it started when Sunnyside began the bulk-heading process on the American Tunnel between 1996 and 2003. He believes the head on the mine pool is much higher than anyone anticipated. "The pressure on the lower-most bulkheads has to be extraordinary," Hennis said. "If a seismic event were to occur with that much hydrostatic pressure and faults lubricated with water, the discharge will be much greater than this one."
Discharges from the Mogul mine (another mine in the region he owns) began to increase in 2000–2001. "Despite everyone being cognizant of what was happening, the state of Colorado allowed Sunnyside to finish bulk-heading the mine and walk away," Hennis said. "The state signed away any ability to regulate the Sunnyside mine pool."
By carefully and incrementally lowering the Sunnyside mine pool, Hennis believes all of these peripheral UA discharges will return to minor amounts or zero, which was the pre-existing conditions prior to the bulk-heading of the Sunnyside mine. He also wants to see a processing facility installed at Gladstone near the American Tunnel portal that could treat Cement Creek.
At the time Sunnyside was bulk-heading the mine, the mine was owned by Echo Bay Mines. In 2003, Kinross Gold purchased Echo Bay Mines. After the Gold King spill and in response to Hennis' allegations, Sunnyside Gold Corp. issued a statement explaining that it is not involved whatsoever with this situation; it never owned or operated Gold King and did not take part in work being done there. The company said the following:
"The Sunnyside mine workings have no physical connection to the Gold King and such a connection never existed. Sunnyside is not the cause of the water buildup at Gold King.
"In fact, Sunnyside, with oversight and approval of all relevant agencies, installed a series of bulkheads to isolate its mine workings from other workings in the area and to prevent water flow from the Sunnyside mine workings to the Animas Basin. The bulkheads installed at Sunnyside are engineered concrete structures. While the state-approved bulk-heading was always expected to return the local water table toward historic natural levels, it did not cause the water buildup at Gold King.
"As the EPA has taken responsibility for the discharge, it is unfortunate that the representative of Gold King mine is trying to deflect responsibility from what has clearly been the location of the incident, which is Gold King mine. The spurious allegations made against Sunnyside are not based on fact."
From an engineering standpoint, Newmont's Idarado gold mine provides a great regional contrast. It closed in 1976. In the 1980s, as they were performing reclamation, they looked at all options, rejected bulk-heading and implemented hydrological controls above the portals to prevent inflows into the old workings. The Red Mountain and Treasury tunnels are still open today and water is flowing from those tunnels, but the water quality is good.
Mark Gibson, an environmental specialist with Kyklos Engineering, worked on the Idarado reclamation project and said the results speak for themselves. "It was a state-directed Superfund site," Gibson said. "There was a dispute on how to deal with zinc contamination and provide an aquatic life habitat on all sides of the drainages." He has since been involved in several dozen Superfund site disputes and as many hard rock mine cleanups.
When they were originally looking at reclaiming the Idarado mine, the regulators proposed a $150 million mitigation strategy that involved a series of dam impoundments and active treatment systems. "If they would have been allowed to do that, the Idarado property would have been turned into a huge dam impoundment, creating liabilities forever," Gibson said. "That's not solving the problems. They are treating the symptoms."
He believes in source control, which is all manner of techniques to build rock plumbing at the very top stretches of the drainage to minimize the infiltration of runoff. "A great deal of the problem can be eliminated by preventing water from touching mineralized deposits," Gibson said. "It's the opposite of dam-and-treat. It prevents the eventualities we see today with the EPA."
The Idarado remediation plan was put forward by a mining company and endorsed by every environmental group involved and the local governments, according to Gibson. "A Federal Consent Decree was amended to specify source control and avoid dam-and-treat," he said. "It took all of the these efforts to reverse this ridiculous decision to dam-and-treat instead of focusing on source control. The regulator portrayed source control as experimental, iffy, unproven theories for mine remediation. And, now more than 20 years later, it's working and the EPA dam-and-treat plans are failing."
The loadings on the San Miguel (Telluride) side of the drainage have been reduced by 50%. The plan eliminated the need for active treatment, Gibson explained. "The residual leakage, if there is any, is treated by small passive ponds that use infiltration to reduce the metals loading," Gibson said.
"On the Red Mountain side, the source control plan has only been half as effective as the Telluride side," Gibson said. "The zinc levels have been reduced by 25%, a factor of two away from the goal. The problem is coming from the historic mines on Red Mountain pass in the vicinity of the Gold King mine." Gibson believes source control would minimize water infiltration in the UA drainage.
The future of these sites in this region may not necessarily be dictated by the EPA. Gibson believes that this is an opportunity for sane minds to take control of the situation and solve the problem. "If the EPA were left to its own devices, it will continue as it has in the past," Gibson said. "It will place the region on the Superfund NPL and create a white-collar welfare program for environmental consultants."
Gibson said he could see the historic mines in that region paying for mine remediation. "The mineral deposits could be leveraged over the long term, using the money to help pay for remediation," Gibson said. "There are methods of the third-party financing with local governments." Rather than bringing mining back to Colorado, miners could be put back work for environmental remediation.
The Animas River continued to improve until 2005. Then water quality for at least 20 miles below the confluence with Cement Creek began to decline significantly. In 2008, EPA's Superfund Site Assessment program began investigations in Upper Cement Creek focused on evaluating whether that area alone would qualify for NPL. This evaluation indicated it would. After receiving additional community input, the EPA again postponed the decision.
The loadings on the San Miguel (Telluride) side of the drainage have been reduced by 50%. The plan eliminated the need for active treatment, Gibson explained.
"The residual leakage, if there is any, is treated by small passive ponds that use infiltration to reduce the metals loading," Gibson said.

It's true: with great power comes great responsibility. And there's no doubt that fitness trackers are powerful little things.
They have the power to transform workplace health. They have the power to create an energised, focused, collaborative, can-do culture; they have the power to inject fun, competition, incentives and team bonding and unprecedented social sharing and personal accountability into your corporate wellness program. But they also have the power to completely turn people off, to the point of utter disengagement. Most fitness trackers and wearable tech can record your steps, your calorie intake, your sleep. They can connect with wi-fi bathroom scales and record your weight every morning.
As an employee, do you really want your employer to know how much you weigh? Or that you had a second serve of cheesecake last night and stayed up late to watch sport? No, nope, nopey-no, noooo. As the heading says, "it's none of your friggin' business". And as an employer, do you really need that data? This is a more complicated answer – because you kinda do, just not at that individual, granular level, and not in an identifiable way.
In the US, many employers do want and record this individual data. It's all to do with the fact that employers pay for health insurance, and there's a long history of recording employees' health stats and giving incentives or penalties for participation in health initiatives. And, not surprisingly, there's a lot of backlash and debate about the pros and cons of this.
But here in Australia and New Zealand, most companies using activity trackers, or any other source of data such as an online health risk assessment, are only after aggregate reports. Those with a good online platform, with a step-based challenge for example, might ask employees to voluntarily share their data on daily steps, but it's voluntary and no other personal data is shared.
So, where does that leave you, as Corporate Wellness Manager?
Firstly, there's no ignoring activity trackers and wearable devices – not that you'd want to. The thing is, your employees are already using them.
They're using them to motivate themselves to better health – to lose weight, get fit, increase their steps, understand their body and integrate healthy habits into their lifestyle.
They're using them to motivate each other – they're talking about it on social media, sharing results and giving virtual high fives. They're talking about it in the workplace.
And you know who those employees are? They're your corporate wellness goldmine – the ones who know they need to do something about their health, and are ready to change. AND, they're your "rocket fuelled" employees, the motivated doers who are already fit and want to get even fitter, and want to be rewarded for their efforts. The fitness tracker and wearable device industry is growing exponentially. By 2018, more than 13 million wearable activity-tracking devices will be integrated into employee wellness programs, based on estimates from ABI Research.
Likewise, digital health is also growing – employees now expect to access on-demand expert information about health issues, fitness, nutrition, sleep, stress, and information about their own health progress, stats and rewards.
You want in on that for your workplace health program.
It all comes down to how you use them.
1. Don't just hand them out and leave it at that.
Some employees will love it, but many will resent it. They'll see it as yet another infiltration of work into their personal lives.
They're a tool, not an end-game. The organisations using them the most effectively are integrating them into gamified challenges and comprehensive digital wellness programs. They're using competitions, dashboards, and leaderboards combined with content, social sharing and incentives. These platforms bring disparate teams together in an unprecedented way, with a laser sharp employee value proposition: feel great!
They report vastly improved team bonding, rivalry-turned-camaraderie, and clearly measurable improvements in fitness, sleep and overall health.
Example: Employees take part in a step challenge, that takes them on a virtual trek from Kakadu to Uluru, for example. Teams of four compete against other teams, and each week they can see where their team in comparison to other teams. They can see how their extra steps can help them and their team win the game.
They upload pics and comments, they receive tips on how to increase their steps, say with walking meetings, or group walks at lunchtime, or active commuting. Employees sync their device to the system, so their so steps are automatically recorded for them.
You may find you just need to measure steps, and leave it at that. Are you only ever collecting anonymous, aggregate data?
Make sure you have a clear confidentiality statement and policy, so your employees feel comfortable in taking part.
3. Use the energy and momentum of the wearable device phenomenon to fuel your corporate wellness program.
Use them to reward those who are looking after their health.
Use them to create a fun, positive, proactive culture.
Oh, and by the way: we've got a really cool way to do ALL this. It's called Activate. Find out more!

More Turnbull strategy from a U.S. television series
By Ingrid Matthews | 24 April 2016, 1:00pm | comments |
(Image via sbs.com.au)
Ingrid Matthews discusses the "daddy-track" campaign messaging employed by the Turnbull Government's decision to call a double dissolution over the ABCC Bill.
THERE IS A SCENE in the final series of The West Wing where pollster Joey Lucas and Josh Lyneham, heading the campaign for Democratic candidate Matt Santos, explain how daddy-track and mummy-track campaign messaging works to junior staff.
JOEY: All this attention on the leak story, it's magnifying the inevitable "Mommy Problem".
RONNA: Mommy Problem?
JOSH: When voters want a national daddy ... someone to be tough and strong and defend the country, they vote Republican. When they want a mommy, someone to give them jobs, health care … the policy equivalent of motzah ball soup, they vote Democratic.
As most politically engaged Australians noticed last month, Malcolm Turnbull was trying out yet another slogan when he "advised" the Governor General to recall parliament. His strategy was designed to turn around his flagging popularity and take back the agenda from the Opposition, who had been releasing policy initiatives rather than sloganeering and back flipping. The grand announcement was classic daddy-track messaging and was received accordingly by the predictable cheer squad in the mainstream press.
While conformist journalists praised the announcement as bold and "Turnbullesque", Turnbull took to the airwaves to sell his paternalistic brand. He hectored and waffled about why the taxpayer should continue to subsidise the fourth and seventh investment properties of wealthy Australians. He spelt out the double dissolution election provisions in our constitution to senior journalists more patronisingly than the way I teach the same provisions to first year law students. It was squirmingly embarrassing and confirmed a long-noted view of Turnbull: he has terrible judgement.
And throughout these appearances, Turnbull kept repeating his new mantra, "continuity and change".
Of course, the punters in my corner of the "twittersphere" were onto it immediately. "Listen to Big Mal now, he has well and truly caught the three-word disease", said we. "So it's continuity and change now — much more sophisticated than 'Stop the Boats.'"
I do not know who first googled the phrase and found it on the side of a fictional campaign bus from a U.S. comedy series. Mark Di Stefano over at Buzzfeed was one of the first to tweet it out. The show itself, VEEP, even bought into the ensuing hilarity and confirmed the slogan was grounded in meaninglessness, which seems apt enough.
But all of this is old news and, outside social media, generally poo-pooed by commentators and punters who take themselves oh-so-seriously. Fast forward to 16 April and at a completely unnecessary cost of millions, the Australian parliament has been elaborately prorogued with much ushering of black rods and what-not.
Pomp and circumstance wells the conservative heart. Ushers of black rods remind them of "traditional values" like shouting "neutrality!" while using and abusing ritual and tradition for cheap and grasping political ends, such as desperately trying to stay in power while falling behind in the all-important opinion polls.
The claim that the Governor General is neutral – and that to suggest otherwise is some kind of taboo – suits conservative political ends. It is an exercise in invisibilising and reflects a wider methodology of wielding incumbent power. If the government can convince the commentariat and the electorate that the Governor General is neutral, while busily politicising the office of the Governor General, we may not notice the way incumbent power is being exercised to shore up the incumbent position.

In the same way, Coalition politicians use state power to extend ever-greater control over the citizenry – or specific groups of citizens, such as welfare recipients – while claiming to be the party of "small government". Cashless welfare is not small government, nor are control orders or data retention, or billions spent to torture asylum seekers. This is big-taxing, big-spending, huge-control-over-human-lives government. Yet they persist with the lies of liberalism, because that is the preferred method of neoliberalism. It is all around us, yet invisible, like air – and like air, neoliberal politicians would have us believe that their power is inevitable and natural. It is not.
So has bold daddy Mal called on the Governor General to issue the writs for his double dissolution election on 2 July yet? No. The Australian parliament had nothing to do once it was recalled at massive expense and the Senate rejected the ABCC Bill as a simple phone call or news feed could have told anyone.
So in a predictably fractious and dreary, repetitive question time, Turnbull then told the Australian Parliament that he will wait until after the budget.
The Prime Minister shouted across the chamber:
"I will advise the Governor General ... the Governor General will consider that request, that advice, and he will make a decision."
This, the Prime Minister lectured us patronisingly, is in accordance with convention.

Ah yes, convention. Like ushers of black rods and the neutrality of the Governor General, it is "convention" to pretend that the Governor General "considers" the advice of the Prime Minister and then makes a decision. Simultaneously, it is "convention" that the Governor General do as the Prime Minister advises. This is clearly a win-win for both parties. Any action, even if it is the complete opposite of a previous or future action, can be justified by convention. No wonder convention is a thing beloved, if regularly flouted, by conservatives.
But the issue for the people is whether the electoral process, the constitution and conventions, the Governor General and the law, are being used for political ends by the Prime Minister in a bid to retain government.
The problem is this. The recall of Parliament was done in the proper fashion, by letter from the Prime Minister to the Governor General, which Turnbull assured Cosgrove was legally backed by his Attorney General. You know the one — a QC who can not open the second tab on spreadsheets.
In the small print was a claim that the ABCC Bill was so important as to warrant the recall of Parliament because the Government "believes" that, among other things, the ABCC will boost productivity.
Obviously, the Government can believe any old thing it likes — and does, such as the meritocracy mythology that cloaks its every attack on the poor. However, this claim not only has no factual basis, it has been comprehensively disproved by economics professors at Griffith University.
The belief in a positive relationship between the ABCC and productivity began life as an error in an Econotech consultant report commissioned by a former Coalition prime minister who also had a notoriously loose relationship with the truth.
The falsity of the productivity and other claims, made by Turnbull for the ABCC to the Governor General, have been tracked by Crikey and The Guardian here and NewMatilda, among others. There is no doubt whatsoever that the Government's "belief" is a false belief. Not just lacking evidence but founded in – ahem – error (that's the polite term). The claim is demonstrably false. Turnbull is lying.

There are those who would dismiss the fact that Turnbull is lying as mere politics and say hey, all politicians are liars. Sure. Both these responses are a reasonable reading of the situation.
But here is the problem. The Governor General cited the Prime Ministerial reasons for requesting that he recall Parliament in the Parliament, during the pomp and circumstance of proroguing the Parliament. His speech included the false claims regarding productivity, claims from which the the Productivity Commission has distanced itself.
Whether it is in the grand tradition of liberal democracy to politicise supposedly neutral offices, or for the head of state to mislead the parliament, is obviously up for debate. I would tend towards a yes stance here. We are talking about a system of government that simultaneously produced the doctrine of separation of powers while making the highest court in the empire a subset of an unelected upper house comprised of landed gentry. This is neither liberal nor democratic and it certainly indicates that nothing is above politics or immune from the power of incumbency.
Either way, the facts remain. The Prime Minister has relied on disproven claims for a belief he says the Government holds. He has politicised the office of the Governor General. He has upheld the longstanding tradition of deploying the power of incumbency for personal political ambition.
The next day, Turnbull was citing his "strong expectation" there will be a double dissolution election on 2 July — and maybe there will be. Is he a big strong man in contrast to that wishy washy opposition? Like a big daddy sort of thing?
The concerns of the commentariat then became the risks for the Prime Minister and his strategy — risks that Turnbull imposed on himself. Recall this grandiose double dissolution announcement – once he had secured Senate voting reforms favourable to his party – was hailed as a bold constitutional manoeuvre, nay, Turnbullesque.
Here is what that adjective means: to say or do anything for power, no matter how narcissistic or false, no matter what abuse of incumbency and voting reforms and politicisation of a supposedly neutral institution. And above all else, to desperately project a public image of competent masculinity, while in the backrooms an unruly family of spoilt brats squabble among themselves.

There are a million great things about being a geek, or at least being involved in the technologically savvy culture. There are so many opportunities to learn skills, enjoy life, meet friends, and even make money or make a career out of notably geeky things like playing computer games or being a computer program.
But there are some drawbacks, too, that often sit steadily on the physical and emotional spectrums, because of the nature of the lifestyle. You can look at things like general malaise, sore eyes, carpal tunnel, social depression, and unearned anxiety, and see that there's a reference point for those condition within the geek culture.
If you find that you don't feel good for an extended period of time, there's probably a reason for that. Geeks, like anyone else, can go through funks for countless reasons, but geeks, in particular, have to deal with certain kinds of stress because of the nature of their typical activities. If you can't figure out what's wrong on your own, call a doctor, or find a doctor online to talk to about your specific conditions.
Staring at a computer screen for many hours at a time can cause eye strain quite easily if you aren't careful. The computer screen should be a certain brightness, and a certain distance away so that you can see everything clearly without damaging your vision, but overuse at any level will eventually cause discomfort. The best solution to this is to have a consistent setup as well as taking regular breaks from the screen.
And the doom of many geeks, if you eventually have issues with carpal tunnel, you're not alone. The good thing is that a lot of new computers have keyboards that don't tickle your muscles the same way that they used to, so there isn't quite as much of a chance of permanent damage as their used to be. Plus, we have things like wrist guards that prevent some of the micro abrasions and repetitive motion injuries of the past.
Though everyone occasionally goes through a bout or two of social depression, sometimes geeks have it the worst because it's occasionally a bit of a lonely culture. You can keep yourself entertained gaming by yourself, but when you come out of the daze, it can be depressing if no one is there with you.
If you're the type of geek that follows the news while you're spending time online, you may enter the zone of fear and anxiety, feeling like the world is going to come crashing down on you. The truth is, it's not, and if you unplug from the stressful news, you'll find the rest of life comes a bit easier a piece at a time.
You might think it's a bit overwhelming to try to keep your web presence at the top of its game, but it's not impossible. You already have the site, which means that your core idea is in place.
After that, it's simply a matter of maintaining what you've already created. To do this, follow these five tips and enjoy the fruits of your labor: staying responsive will be of utmost importance, updated content will always be king, consistency among platforms will help people stay familiar with you, time efficiency is central to user experience, and always respond to feedback immediately.
Responsive, in the case of a web presence these days, is all about having a web design that flows between platforms. Platforms in this instance mean cell phones, mobile devices, laptops, tablets, desktops, and every iteration in between. Your content, graphics, interface, and clickable links all have to share various amounts of space, so great responsive web design is going to be the only path you have to make sure everyone can get to what they want.
For the most part, only search engine optimization (SEO) specialists know about Google penalties, but that shouldn't be the case. If your website or blog practices "black hat tricks" (tricks that falsely improve your search engine result rankings), Google's algorithms are almost always capable of catching them at some point. If they do, and it's deemed intentional, then you can get slapped with a Google penalty. In the worst cases, this removes your site from that search engine's results completely.

Why I love Everton
By Adam Cunliffe : 20/01/2009 : Comments (0) :
The title says it all really. Last night epitomised why I love Everton as much as I do. The pride, passion and determination that was on show last night truly made me proud to be and Evertonian.
I love Everton for many different reasons. It's a tradition thing mostly, all of my family (well my Dad's half anyway) have supported the men in Royal Blue and long will they continue to do so. But alongside this is the loyalty that surrounds the club from the management, to the players and the fans. As a club we aren't deluded about who we are and what we can realistically expect to achieve. We've witnessed the great eras of the 80s and the despair of the late 90s but yet we can still hold our heads up high and say we are Evertonians now and 'till the end.
One of my first ever heroes in a blue shirt was Nicky Barmby. He and Duncan Ferguson were the only shining lights I had whilst growing up as a young blue surrounded by Liverpool fans in primary school who were always going on about how they were going to win this and how they were going to win that. It was hard for me to keep supporting Everton at that age but my Dad said to me how our time will come one day and I think I've waited about 10 years but I now believe that this is our time.
Every player last night played out of their skin. Every one of them worked their balls off for the cause and we got no less than we deserved. The fans were awesome. At home watching it on Setanta I noticed the atmosphere at Anfield was dead except for 3,000 traveling Evertonians who sang their hearts out all game. Every time a verse of "Royal Blue Mersey" or "If You Know Your History" came out of the speakers me and my Dad both looked at each other and we just knew that Everton were simply the greatest team in the world.
No other club in the world has the same support as we do; away or at home the Evertonians always do the club proud and yesterday, as me and my Dad danced around the front room as Cahill's header went in, we felt as though we were there. We felt a part of what was happening.
As soon as Gerrard's goal went in and he did his slide towards the Kop end I felt like crying. I hate that cretin Gerrard with a passion. Everything he stands for, everything he does is simply horrid and how can any Liverpool fan say that the game against Everton is not as big as the United game when they were all going mad? The silence in our front room was awful, and it remained until the last 10 minutes or so when we started going forward more and when Liverpool realised the game wasn't over.
Jagielka was a rock in defence as he always is. He has the Everton attitude. He doesn't give a shit about who he's playing he'll just clean out whoever's in front of him until he gets the ball. Some of his blocks where simply outstanding and his tackle on ladyboy Torres was outstanding. Also, I think last night Baines finally came of age. He played out of his skin down that left flank and threw himself in front of the ball, much like the aforementioned Jagielka, without a thought about if he might get hurt.
Then when Anichebe got fouled by the handsome chap that is Benayoun you just kind of knew that this was it. In every game, the team who is behind always gets one chance in the last 10 minutes of the game, guaranteed and this was ours. Then, when Cahill scored, I've never celebrated as much in my life.
I hate Liverpool with such a passion, so even though we never won it felt like a victory because Liverpool weren't top of the league and then to see the look on that bastard Gerrard's face when Cahill, a real fan of the team he plays for, scored was fucking price less. And then it just got better when Rafa "You want sangria?" Benitez gave his interview. His face was like a slapped arse and long may it continue to be so.
However, the best part about it all was today in school. I don't get many chances to rub it in to all my red mates but today I didn't stop. Of course I came in with my Everton scarf to piss them all of and then me and my mate Adam (the lucky bugger's got a ticket for the FA Cup game) burst into a rendition of "Your gunna win Fuck All" which annoyed them even more. God I love being an Evertonian.
Once I'd got my money off Nathan (I bet him his lunch money we wouldn't lose), we carried on with Kyle who just happened to have a season ticket in the upper Annie Road. And his response, you couldn't make this shit up seriously, he said "Torres would've easily scored if he'd've been match fit". I laughed so hard my belly hurt.
Though it's that kind of response that kind of sums Liverpool up. I couldn't help but laugh at how stupid them cretins really are when they sang the whole "Fuck off too Kirkby, the city's all ours" when their best player who scored their only goal and what they thought would be the winning goal is from Knowsley, the same metropolitan borough which Kirkby is in. Are they really so damn thick?
I'll be eternally grateful to Cahill after last night, not just for making this 14-year-old lad's day at school the best in a long time. As I'm sure to many younger Evertonians, he and Mikel Arteta are the same symbols of hope that I had with Barmby and Ferguson. But not only that, Cahill actually loves Everton in the same way Big Dunc did. He is one of us and that's why we all love him.
I still get asked questions along the lines of "Why do you support Everton when they're obviously shite?" and I think last night was the perfect answer. We don't win much, our stadium's dire, our team is worth the same as Torres and we simply haven't got a pot to piss in. But it's games like that which make me so happy to love Everton. The bad results only make the good ones feel so much better, especially when it's against that shower who think they have a God-given right to win everything.
The loyalty, commitment, pride and passion the whole team showed last night is simply the reason why I love Everton Football Club.

Leo Baeck College
Leo Baeck College Makes History as Seven New Rabbis are Ordained
By: The Movement for Reform Judaism
Pictured left to right: Rabbi Hannah Kingston; Rabbi Robyn Ashworth-Steen; Rabbi Haim Casas; Rabbi Danny Newman; Leo Baeck College Dean, Rabbi Dr Charles Middleburgh; Leo Baeck College Principal, Rabbi Dr Deborah Kahn-Harris; Rabbi Naomi Goldman; Rabbi Kath Vardi and Rabbi Daniel Lichman.
Seven new European Progressive rabbis have been ordained by Leo Baeck College, including the first ever Spanish born Progressive rabbi. Six of the rabbis will serve Reform communities.
Rabbi Haim Casas will make history when he returns home to begin work in communities in Spain, as well as France and Switzerland.
He was one of the class of seven new rabbis ordained in front of 500 guests at West London Synagogue after studying for five years on Leo Baeck College's acclaimed rabbinic programme.
The full list of new rabbis:
• Rabbi Haim Casas to communities in France, Switzerland and Spain
• Rabbi Robyn Ashworth-Steen to Manchester Reform Synagogue (Jackson's Row)
• Rabbi Kath Vardi to North West Surrey Reform Synagogue
• Rabbi Hannah Kingston to Alyth Synagogue
• Rabbi Naomi Goldman to Kol Chai Hatch End Jewish Community
• Rabbi Danny Newman to Finchley Reform Synagogue
• Rabbi Daniel Lichman will be working for Student Chaplaincy and acting as a rabbi for new and emerging Reform Judaism communities
Leo Baeck College Principal Rabbi Dr Deborah Kahn-Harris said: "In our 60th anniversary year, we could not be prouder to be carrying on the heritage of this transformational institution through these seven inspirational rabbis."
The ordination of Haim, who was born and raised in Córdoba, was especially poignant, as the Jewish community in Spain has only re-emerged very recently. Jewish people were expelled from the country, or forced to convert to Christianity, in 1492 and it has taken five centuries for Judaism to return in a meaningful way – either through Spanish people discovering their Jewish roots or Jews from other countries moving there.
Speaking on BBC Radio 2, Rabbi Baroness Julia Neuberger of West London Synagogue said: "The accepted wisdom that Jewish life in Spain has ended has been overturned. Haim's ordination was both a sign of hope and a statement of belief in a Jewish future in Spain."
Leo Baeck College is a preeminent institution of Jewish scholarship and learning. Almost every serving Liberal and Reform rabbi in the UK, and many abroad, trained there. The College previously made history with the ordination of Britain's first woman, openly gay and transgender rabbis, as well as the first Progressive rabbis to take up post in the former Soviet Union.
