On Thursday 24 August 2023, Treasurer the Hon Dr Jim Chalmers MP launched the sixth Intergenerational Report (IGR), giving Australia insight into the economic and societal trends that are predicted to shape our nation’s future and influence the direction of government.
What is an Intergenerational Report?
An Intergenerational Report is a document released by the Federal Government usually every five years, with five released so far (2002, 2007, 2010, 2015 and 2021).
These reports outline the projected outlook of the Australian economy and federal budgets over the next 40 years. The reports focus on the nation’s demographics, productivity, workforce participation issues, and other structural trends that will shape Australia’s public policy for the coming decades.
Why does Australia need an Intergenerational Report?
Former Federal Treasurer the Hon Peter Costello AC introduced the Intergenerational Report to give clarity around the long-term pressures facing the federal budget. Intergenerational Reports give politicians and voters insight into persisting issues facing the nation and how these will impact Australia holistically.
The 2023 Report’s purpose is to help Australia understand and adapt to forecasted challenges that will change our economy and society.
Why is the Treasurer releasing the Intergenerational Report now?
Treasurer Chalmers decided to release a Report only two years after the last IGR, despite only being required to release a report every five years.
The timing of the Report’s release can be attributed to the timeframe of the Government’s economic updates, and this is the first Report released by the Albanese Government. With the 2023-24 Federal Budget released in May and the Mid-Year Economic and Financial Update (MYEFO) scheduled for October or November this year, the IGR provides a guide for the Government’s funding allocation and policy development.
The Albanese Government has also been highly invested in addressing social issues and utilising an integrated approach to policy. For example, on 21 July 2023, the Albanese Government released the Measuring What Matters Statement, the first iteration of Australia’s national wellbeing framework to track the collective cohesion and prosperity of the nation alongside the more traditional methods of measuring the economy.
This decision to bring the IGR forward illustrates the Government’s desire to be transparent and realistic about the state of the nation, to preface upcoming financial outcomes, and to better prepare the public for future trends.
What does the 2023 Intergenerational Report say?
In a press conference on Monday 21 August, Treasurer Chalmers stated that the 2023 IGR is intended to build our understanding of what he calls the ‘Five Big Shifts’. These ‘shifts’ are trends that are already underway in Australia’s society and economy that will have a significant impact on the Government’s forward planning. These include:
- Shift from globalisation to fragmentation
- Shift from hydrocarbons to renewables
- Shift from IT to artificial intelligence
- Shift from a younger demographic to an older population
- Shift in the industrial base to a larger role for the care economy
With the release of the 2023 Intergenerational Report on Thursday 24 August, the Nexus team has compiled key themes and data highlighted by Treasurer Chalmers during his address at the National Press Club.
Treasurer Chalmers has stated that the Government has made the IGR ‘a significant part of our efforts to revitalise policy thinking, renovate our institutions, and focus on our big national challenges and chances. This IGR sets out the choices that will determine whether we succeed or fail in the years ahead – It sends a pretty clear and compelling message: We can own the future. But only if we take the big shifts seriously.’
- The IGR forecasts a slow growth in population and an increasing older demographic by 2063.
- The Report predicts that the population will grow by around 50% and reach 40.5 million people in the next 40 years.
- The number of people aged 85 and over will triple and the number of people aged 65 and over is likely to double.
- The Australian economy is expected to be 2.5 times larger in 2063 and an ageing and growing population could drive up federal government spending in the coming decades.
- Government investment in the areas of Health, Aged Care, Defence, and Interest Payments on Debt is set to rise $140 billion by 2062–63.
- The care economy is also likely to account for 15% of GDP by 2063, up from 8% in 2023.
‘People will live longer and healthier lives. Moving from a younger to an older population is something we’ve known about for some time now – and it’s true that this will put a strain on our Budget. In fact, around 40 percent of the projected increase in spending that’s outlined in the IGR is due to us getting older. But this will come with a chance to transform our industries in the right way.’
- Australia is the largest producer of lithium, a raw material that is essential to producing renewables like solar panels, wind turbines, and electric vehicles as well as batteries, phones, and laptops.
- Australia’s export of lithium is estimated to be eight times higher by 2063 while the demand for Australia’s export of thermal coal is estimated to reduce by 50%.
- The demand for other critical minerals like nickel, zinc and bauxite could increase by 350% by 2040.
‘The composition of our industrial base will be changed by energy, by technology and by demography. Demand for critical minerals will explode, the opportunity of the century – To mine, refine and manufacture them. But it’s also increasingly about the care and support economy.’
The Government has revealed the consequences of increasing global temperatures.
- If the temperature increases by more than 2 degrees Celsius, agricultural crop yields will be reduced by 4% by 2063 and decrease labor productivity which would severely impact Australia’s economic output.
- Climate Change in the next four decades could cost the Australian economy $135 – 243 billion dollars.
‘Dealing with climate change is a global environmental and economic imperative. The IGR makes clear the costs that could come with rising temperatures, the impact on specific sectors like agriculture and tourism, and the vast scale of investment needed to respond – some additional $225 billion, to decarbonise heavy industries and transition our energy system. These are not only risks to manage, costs to bear, but vast industrial opportunities.’
Nexus will continue to monitor the impact of the 2023 Intergenerational Report on the Government’s future policies and budget allocations. You can find the full report here. Please reach out to the Nexus team if you would like any further information.

A federal appeals court ruled July 13 that Roncalli High School and officials at the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Indianapolis were within their rights to fire Shelly Fitzgerald, a guidance counselor who exercised her legal right to marry someone of the same gender.
The 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals held that the “ministerial exception” prevents Fitzgerald from vindicating her rights to be free from discrimination. This court-created doctrine circumvents civil rights laws by allowing religious employers to discriminate against employees who perform important religious duties.
Americans United, which was part of a team that represented Fitzgerald in court, asserted that she was not a minister, noting that Fitzgerald had no explicit religious duties. Her main job was providing secular counseling to students.
Rachel Laser, President and CEO of Americans United, criticized the ruling in Fitzgerald v. Roncalli High School, Inc.
“Religious extremists are waging a crusade to undermine basic civil rights and won a disturbing victory before the Supreme Court in the 303 Creative LLC v. Elenis case just weeks ago,” Laser said. “Shelly Fitzgerald’s case was another line of attack. These religious extremists are trying to expand a narrow, commonsense rule — meant to allow houses of worship to select their own clergy according to their own faith — into a broad license to circumvent civil rights laws and to discriminate.”
Added Laser, “Shelly Fitzgerald, like most employees at religious organizations, wasn’t hired to minister to students or to preach the Catholic religion. She was hired to provide secular guidance to students seeking to get into college. She should not have lost her civil rights simply because the secular work she performed was done at a religious school.”
Laser concluded, “I want to commend our plaintiff, Shelly Fitzgerald, for courageously speaking up on behalf of all people vulnerable to discrimination in the name of religion. Shelly and brave people like her are on the front lines warning the American people about the very real threats we face from a shadowy network of religious extremists working to turn religious freedom from a shield into a sword to harm others and violate their rights.”
Americans United Litigation Fellow Gabriela Hybel argued Fitzgerald’s case before the 7th Circuit. Fitzgerald was represented by AU Litigation Counsel Bradley Girard; Hybel; Mark Sniderman of Findling, Park, Conyers, Woody & Sniderman, P.C.; and David Page of Henn Haworth Cummings & Page.

The Bank of Russia supported ruble
Russian ruble on Friday afternoon strengthened to a basket of currencies. “Russians” supported the decision of the Central Bank to keep its key interest rate unchanged at 7.25 per cent per annum. For the first time in summer 2017 bid were not reviewed on the decline because of rising inflation risks. The dollar to the present worth of 62.42 RUB (-0.4 per cent). 75,47 Euro is trading at RUB (-0,5%). Official rates of the Central Bank of Russia for tomorrow, April 28, 62,72 make up a RUB for the American currency (increased by 12 cents) and 7576 RUB per EUR (reduced 40 cents).
So, the April meeting of the regulator held. Intrigue did not happen, but it is in this time and not meant: after the April spikes in currency volatility would be too risky to lower the rate without knowing the full consequences. In the policy statement, the regulator said that the CPI can more actively move to 4%, but too sharp acceleration in prices can not be afraid. While the Central Bank noted that the potential to reduce rates over the year decreases in the growth rates in the West and growing sovereign risks.
Commodity market slightly corrected, though still morning, the bulls were serious about buying. A barrel of North sea Brent grade of oil is worth $73,73 (-0,2%), “a barrel” of Texas light oil WTI $68,00 (-0,3%). All published this week information, a significant sector of the black gold already factored into rates, but remain significant speculative news on Iran and its nuclear program.
The US dollar is now stable in the range of 62-63 RUB, where he is in terms of external and internal environment and place. The Euro closed trading on Friday in the range of 75-76 RUB.

Over the past few years, we have given the subscribers of Footballguys.com some help in playing office pools, one of the most popular methods to follow the NFL aside from fantasy football leagues. For the past few seasons, both Dave Larkin and I have written the “For The Win” column where Dave attempts to pick each and every NFL game against the Las Vegas spread. This has been a very popular feature, so this year Footballguys once again is presenting the Eliminator Challenge, where staffers have to pick a team to win each week. Just one? That sounds easy, but here is the catch – you can only pick the team you choose in a given week once all season long. Many contests and pools out there get pretty big, so an Eliminator (or Survivor) Pool can go 16 or 17 weeks.
Jeff Pasquino has provided some insight into this kind of contest previously with a preseason strategy article, which describes this kind of contest along with some advice on how to pick a team each week:
This pool will run all season long, but to keep participation up, the pool will crown the staffer with the best W-L record for the season (which means that everyone in the pool will continue to make picks every week).
LAST WEEK'S RESULTS
Once again, most of the staff survived last week, as many went with the Dolphins (or was it against the Jets?) to a one-sided victory for Miami. A few unique picks also won for the group (Falcons, Giants, Colts) including two winless teams in Atlanta and the other New York franchise, so those were pretty wise contrarian selections. Only the Patriots failed for the staff, costing both Darin Tietgen and James Brimacombe their perfect start on the year. That leaves 11 of the 22 - exactly half - of the staff with a flawless 6-0 record. As we get deeper into October, bye weeks come up every week for the next several weeks, which will only compound the challenge for the group. Once again the level of difficulty will increase, so let's take a look and see what NFL Week 7 will have in store for the staff.
THIS WEEK'S PICK SUMMARY
Here are the picks for this week.

Inaugural Northern Theory School Annual Public Lecture
‘Rules, Models, and Paradigms: Before Rules Became Rigid’
Lorraine Daston (Max Planck Institute for the History of Science, Berlin)
Rules – in the form of everything from traffic regulations and government directives to etiquette manuals and parliamentary procedures – structure almost every human interaction. Increasing use of computers has intensified a trend that began in the eighteenth century of ever more, ever more rigid rules for ever more domains of public and private life. But the algorithm became the prototypical rule only relatively recently, in the late nineteenth century. The long history of rules prior to that point shows surprising affinities with concepts now considered to be the antithesis of rule-following, such as thinking in terms of models and paradigms. Sources as disparate as the rules of monastic orders to textbooks of commercial arithmetic to cookbooks reveal a hidden history of the premodern rule.
Professor Lorraine Daston is Executive Director of the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science (MPIWG) in Berlin, and Visiting Professor in the Committee on Social Thought at the University of Chicago. She is a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, Corresponding Member of the British Academy, and Member of both the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and the Leopoldina Academy of Sciences. In 2010 she was awarded the Orden Pour le Mérite of the Federal Republic of Germany, and in 2012 the History of Science Society’s Sarton Medal.
She has taught at Columbia, Harvard, Princeton, Brandeis, the University of Göttingen, and the University of Chicago and held visiting positions at the Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales in Paris, the University of Vienna, and Oxford University (Isaiah Berlin Lectures in the History of Ideas).
Her books include Classical Probability in the Enlightenment (Princeton University Press, 1988), Wonders and the Order of Nature, 1150-1750 (Zone, 1998, with Katharine Park), both of which were awarded the Pfizer Prize of the History of Science Society, Thinking with Animals (Columbia University Press, 2006, with Gregg Mitmann), Things That Talk (Zone, 2007), Objectivity (MIT, 2007, with Peter Galison) and Histories of Scientific Observation (Chicago University Press, 2011).

TriStruX, a provider of telecom infrastructure services to wireless carriers, cable companies and OEMs, has been acquired by leading middle-market private equity firm, Huron Capital.
TriStruX is the result of the 2020 merger of Telcom Engineering Group (“TEG”), Leone Electric Corporation (“LEC”) and High Point Utilities (“HPU”). The founders of the companies, Francisco Pena, Nicholas J. Leone, Craig Langenbach and Scott Palmenberg, will remain with the company in key management roles and maintain minority equity stakes in the merged company.
TriStruX is a national provider of telecommunications infrastructure services for macro cell towers and 5G wireless, underground and overhead fiber, and power and electrical services installation and maintenance services. The company’s key clients include the largest leading US telecommunications and cable companies. Since the 2020 combination, the company has significantly expanded its business in the Northeast, California, Southeast and Midwest markets, grown company revenue significantly in 2021 over 2020 and prepared to open 4 new markets in 1Q 2022.
“Huron’s investment will help us grow to be one of the strongest Telecom services providers in the market. I am so proud of the quality company we have built, but we are stronger and more nimble with Huron’s backing”, said Nicholas J. Leone, Vice Chairman and Chief Operating Officer. “Our clients are telling us to grow faster and bigger but not lose the quality and “can do” success we bring to them. This combination with Huron ensures we can accomplish that and will result in more and better service to our clients.” said Frank Pena, Chairman of the Board.
“We are very pleased to launch a Telecom Infrastructure Services Platform with the acquisition of TriStruX”, said Huron Managing Partner Jim Mahoney. “The Infrastructure Services market is very early in the investment cycle of building wireless telecom and fiber capabilities to deliver 5G services across the US. Huron is excited to support TriStruX’s track record of high-quality service delivery and deep focus on safety with access to capital and management support.”
Industry veteran Gene Callahan will join the Company’s Board of Directors. Randall P Muench, current CEO of TriStruX will continue to serve as CEO of the merged company. “Significant organic growth and crossing the $100M revenue level was an excellent year but we are just getting started.” said Muench. “Our team is laser focused on delivering quality wireless site installations and hundreds of miles of fiber at the scale that our clients expect and building a great place to work for our team. I’m especially excited to be on this journey with Huron who brings deep expertise in building scalable businesses and accelerating growth through M&A.”

Embrace The Cold
As in most cold-climate regions, complaining about the chilly weather is a common pass time in Reno from, say, November through March. When I arrived for work early this morning I must have overheard half a dozen conversations about how tired people are of this weather (even though the weather for most of this Autumn has been fantastic), how troublesome winter clothes are, how it's time to move to Yuma, etc., etc.
I understand the dislike that most people have for cold weather--we are, by nature, warm weather creatures and couldn't even live in colder climates without the intelligence to develop strategies that help us cope with harsh winter weather. That being said, I get more aggravated at the constant complaining about the cold than I do at the cold itself.
Reno is cold for much of the year (although not nearly as cold as, say, the upper Midwest or the northern Rockies). That's just a fact of life. I'm not saying you can't grumble a little on a chilly day now and then, but I am saying that at some point you either accept the circumstances for what they are, or you move and leave more room here in God's Country for the rest of us.
Personally, I like Winter. I like the way the pace of life slows down. I like hiking in the snow. I like having a beer and a bowl of chili at Timbers on Mount Rose after snowboarding all morning. I like a warm fire or an outdoor hot tub at the end of the day. Basically, I feel like you have two choices if you live around here; you either embrace the cold during the Wintertime, or you stay miserable until April. I choose the former. Trust me, it's a lot more fun than complaining for five straight months.
Oh, by the way, Melissa and I have decided that we're going to Costa Rica for our honeymoon. What can I say, even people who embrace the cold need a little variety now and then.

There are major blessings – My faith, my wife, my family – and there are minor blessings.
Some of the minor blessings I’ve had relate to places where I’ve lived. When we lived in Baton Rouge, a trip to New Orleans was as easy as a trip to the mall.
When we lived in Florida, a trip to Disney World or Universal Studios was a day trip and I watched space shuttle launches from my driveway.
While living in Wyoming, a trip to the high plains was, well, just outside the back door, and the Rocky Mountains were an easy drive.
Living in Virginia, I frequently drive by famous battlefields from the Revolutionary or Civil War. I can quickly get to the beach and with very little effort, to the mountains.
My wife and I are enjoying a long weekend together and decided to head up to Washington, DC – another quick trip. Since it is so close, and we have no specific agenda; we parked the car and will use the Metro for most, if not all travels. Who knows where we’ll end up?
I brought my camera, and haven’t taken any pictures yet, so there’s no picture today. I’ll try to post tonight, but, this is DC, so there hotel has a $10 charge per device for internet access and the next 24 hour chunk of access is her turn.
Nevertheless, the important thing is that as I’ve traveled through this life, God has blessed me at every turn. I guess it’s His way of saying, “I’m here,” and more importantly, “I care.”
Whether a blessing is earth-shatteringly large, or as small as finding something you’ve given up for lost, it’s nice to know God is here, and here for me.
He’s there for you to – and He’s never hard to find, if you just look for Him.


Guardiola may secretly applaud Klopp’s decision after “they scare me” claim
Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp have continued their rivalry in the Premier League and the Manchester City boss will likely welcome the latest transfer call by Liverpool
Image: Getty Images)
Pep Guardiola might just be quietly pleased Liverpool are set to sanction the sale of Sadio Mane.
The Senegal superstar will leave Anfield following six successful seasons with the Reds, with an agreement reportedly in place with Bayern Munich. Mane was due to enter the final year of his contract, and the 30-year-old was said to be keen on a new challenge.
The former Southampton star netted 120 times in 263 Liverpool appearances, and helped Liverpool secure another Champions League crown, as well as ending their 30-year wait for a top-flight title. However, the era of Klopp’s famous front three is drawing to a close, with the FA Cup and Carabao Cup holders accepting an offer worth up to £35 million.
Mane was shifted to a central role for the final few months of his career on Merseyside, due to the sensational form of January signing Luis Diaz. However, as eventual Golden Boot winner Mohamed Salah struggled to recapture his best form following the African Cup of Nations, Mane used Senegal’s success in the competition to lead his club’s scoring charts in the second-half of the season.
Klopp made the versatile forward his first major signing in his Liverpool rebuild in the summer of 2016, with some questioning the £34 million price tag at the time. However, Mane has silenced these doubters and in a period of sustained success, the forward has been named as club legend Jamie Carragher’s favourite player of the Klopp era so far.
The Liverpool boss wasted no time in securing a replacement, with in-demand Benfica star Darwin Nunez already acquired in a potential club-record deal. Roberto Firmino and Salah still face uncertain futures however, with both forwards yet to agree contract extensions beyond the end of next season.
HAVE YOUR SAY! Will Manchester City striker Erling Haaland score more than Liverpool’s new signing Darwin Nunez next season? Comment below!
With Nunez joining Diaz and Diogo Jota as the evolution of Liverpool’s frontline, Klopp has more than enough firepower to once again plot another attempt at an unprecedented quadruple. However, the impending departure of Mane will still be welcomed by long-term rivals City and one man in particular.
It is not often that Guardiola will admit to being fearful ahead of a crunch encounter. But in the infancy of the Premier League chapter of the storied rivalry with Klopp, the former Barcelona and Bayern boss revealed his concerns over the potency of Liverpool’s famed three.
Rewind to the 2017/18 season, and Guardiola was on course to celebrate his first Premier League title when City were drawn against the Reds at the Champions League quarter-final stage. The future centurions thrashed Klopp’s side earlier in the campaign at the Etihad Stadium, but were edged out in a seven-goal thriller in the return fixture.
City’s title-winning campaign was the subject of an Amazon All or Nothing documentary series, which later broadcast dressing room scenes and intense tactical debate. Mane was sent off for a horror challenge on Ederson in the 5-0 defeat in September 2017, but the forward’s quality still prompted a rare admission from Guardiola ahead of the European tie.
In a clip that has resurfaced on social media in the wake of Mane’s exit, the City boss outlined his fears with assistants Carles Planchart and Domenec Torrent. Discussing Liverpool’s front three, Guardiola said: “They scare me. They’re dangerous, I mean it.
“I have a feeling that Salah will play [as a] striker. Salah will play as number nine and Firmino will move towards the wing. He comes here and Salah goes forward. Our wing-back can’t cover their wing-backs.”
Planchert and Torrent both attempted to reassure Guardiola, but the City boss was ultimately proven correct. Liverpool secured an emphatic 5-1 aggregate victory, with all three forwards getting on the scoresheet.
Mane scored four times against City last season – including a brace in Liverpool’s FA Cup semi-final victory – and Guardiola will almost certainly be pleased to see the end of their famous forward line.
However, Klopp shows no sign of slowing down, and the pieces seem to already be in place for the Reds to cope with the loss of one of their stars.

April is National Distracted Driving Awareness Month. At AIDS.gov we are committed to promoting the use of new media and the responsible use of new media. This month you will hear from AIDS.gov team members about the importance of this issue.
Our federal colleagues are equally committed to raising awareness about distracted driving and are using new media to make it happen. In a Department of Transportation (DOT) blog post released today, I was struck by the Bridgestone survey of drivers aged 15 to 21 that found one-third of those surveyed admit to reading text messages while driving.
Yes, there is a growing body of evidence–including today’s results from Bridgestone and a survey from NHTSA–that this problem is particularly big among young drivers. But we know that our youngest drivers model what they see around them, and that includes adults who are also engaging in this dangerous behavior. Read more…
Earlier this month the DOT also highlighted traditional and new media efforts from States across the US and non-federal partners that address distracted driving.
The traffic safety community has a simple message for drivers: One Text or Call could Wreck it All. DOT has worked hard for several years to end the deadly epidemic of distracted driving. But to kickoff this month, I want to thank the States for their efforts in this important safety fight.
Each of us has an obligation to remind ourselves, our friends, and our family members about the dangers of using new media while driving. What are you doing to support this important issue?

It’s not the first time social justice warriors have decreed that their “cause,” whatever it might be, was more important than the life or well-being of a total stranger. In 2014, a man in Berkeley, Calif., died after protesters delayed the arrival of an ambulance.
It happened again earlier this year when Black Lives Matter protesters diverted the path of an ambulance rushing an elderly man to a hospital, thereby endangering his life.
Now comes the cell phone video embedded in the following tweet from last night’s mayhem in Chicago when protesters again blocked the path of yet another ambulance. In the video, you can see one cretin standing directly in front of the stalled vehicle, flipping the paramedics the bird with both hands.
Eventually, the police intervene and clear the road.
Protesters blocking an ambulance.
— Brett MacDonald (@TweetBrettMac) March 12, 2016
I don’t know any specifics of the emergency — who the patient was, whether he survived, and so on. You have to wonder what the reaction of the demonstrators would be if they learned that a black man had died because of their defiant refusal to let the EMTs through.

Oil And Gas
The Iranian navy has captured an oil tanker connected to the US in the Gulf of Oman, as part of a legal battle with the US over a year-old court order that seized Iranian oil.
As part of a protracted legal battle with the US over an American court order from a year ago that seized Iranian oil on the tanker and unloaded the cargo in Texas, the Iranian navy has captured an oil tanker connected to the US in the Gulf of Oman. As a result of repeated Houthi rebel attacks on ships in the Red Sea, the official Iranian news media stated on Wednesday that the tanker had been detained under the authority of an Iranian court decision. Nevertheless, the announcement would exacerbate the region's already-rising concerns around freedom of navigation.
The Houthis aim to destabilize Israel's economy and US-led naval forces due to the Gaza conflict, and a joint US-UK attack on Houthi military installations in Yemen is likely unrelated to the seizure of the tanker St. Nikolas.
The tanker, formerly known as the Suez Rajan, had its name changed following the September 2018 unloading of 980,000 metric tons of Iranian oil off the ship in Texas as a result of a protracted legal dispute. The Suez Rajan was eventually transported to Houston, where the ship's cargo was unloaded, after a US district judge determined that the ship's owners had permitted the loading of Iranian oil that was subject to sanctions.

Sodium Swaps: What to Avoid in Low Sodium Diet Recipes
Sodium is found in nearly every food we consume. It’s naturally occurring in many plants and is added to nearly every packaged or processed food as a preservative or flavor enhancer.
The good: We need sodium to survive. It’s essential to the body’s functioning, regulating hydration and playing a role in things like muscle function and nerve conduction. It also helps boost flavor!
The bad: Too much sodium can lead to water retention, hypertension, high blood pressure, coronary heart disease, strokes and heart attacks. To reduce your risk, it can be helpful to cut back on sodium consumption. But reducing sodium is about more than just avoiding the salt shaker: by focusing on whole plant foods and reducing consumption of processed or naturally high-sodium foods, we can move our bodies towards balance.
Here’s what to cut back on (and what to swap in instead) if you’re looking to consume less.
Cut back on: table salt
Eat instead: a variety of spices
Table salt is an obvious place to start when it comes to reducing sodium. Instead of grabbing the shaker, flavor meals – both during cooking and at the table – with spices like cayenne, paprika, cumin, garam masala or black pepper. Herbs like oregano and sage also blend beautifully into many meals, and produce-based flavors like garlic, onion powder and lemon can provide a nice hit of flavor without upping the sodium.
Cut back on: packaged broth
Eat instead: fresh veggies and alliums
Packaged broth, in liquid or cube form, can contain up to 24000mg of sodium per ½ cup. You can buy low-sodium broth, but preparing your own lets you completely control your sodium content. To make your own broth, simmer veggies like celery, green pepper, fennel, garlic and onion in a large pot with water for several hours. (You can use just the kitchen scraps to get the most out of your ingredients!) These can add a ton of flavor and, although they naturally contain sodium, they help to regulate electrolytes and stabilize blood pressure.
Cut back on: salty condiments
Eat instead: salsa, homemade condiments and apple cider vinegar
Condiments like soy sauce, hot sauce and salad dressings are some of the worst offenders for excess sodium. Swap these out for citrus juices (lemon is a great option), plain yellow mustard or no-salt-added Dijon, salsa and apple cider vinegar. Mix and match to make your own dressings, or seek out lower-sodium versions of tamari and miso.
Cut back on: brined cheeses
Eat instead: lower-sodium varieties
Sorry to break this news: halloumi, blue cheese and feta contain more salt than seawater. Highly processed cheeses, like string cheese, also contain more salt than is “necessary”. In their stead, opt for lower-sodium blends like Emmental, cream cheese, cottage cheese and mozzarella. Swiss and ricotta also tend to be lower in sodium due to the way they’re made: just check labels before buying.
Cut back on: cold cuts
Eat instead: roasted sandwich meats or veggie options
On average, one slice of lunchmeat contains about 362mg of sodium. The Recommended Daily Allowance is 1500mg, so that 3-slices-of-meat sandwich will pretty much be all you’re allotted for the day. Instead of ham, prosciutto or salami, consider roasting and slicing your own turkey or chicken in advance, or even grilling up some avocado. Tuna salad (made from low-sodium canned tuna or from mashed chickpeas) can also be a hearty option for sandwiches and will be less likely to max out your sodium intake.

Lobbing an icy spoonful of this sorbet into your mouth after a long, hot day reminds you that sunshine can exist after dusk… Saffron adds an exotic full flavour to the tangy orange, offering a unique cool flavour to allay the calescent summer.
Orange Saffron Sorbet
1 cup purified water (bottled water)
3/4 cup sugar
1/8 tsp saffron threads (about 6-8 threads)
1 3/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice (about 6 oranges)
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (1-2 lemons)
Combine water and sugar in a medium saucepan, and bring contents to a boil over high heat. Add the saffron threads, remove from heat, cover, and allow to steep for 5 minutes.
Whisk in the orange and lemon juice. Allow to cool for 20mins.
Once cooled, pour the liquid from the saucepan through a fine sieve into a freezer appropriate container (this way you get any saffron and orange bits out of the liquid.)
**If you don’t have an ice cream maker (which I didn’t)**
Place container in the freezer for 30mins and allow the liquid to get slushy. Then remove from the freezer and blend with a hand blender until light and churned. Replace back in the freezer until frozen, then enjoy!
**If you have an ice cream maker**
Pour liquid into the ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions until sorbet has formed. Place sorbet back into the freezer appropriate container and freeze!

Pendant Seal of Asmoday Asmodeus
Asmoday Asmodeus seal pendant necklace.
Material: Stainless Steel
He prefers to be called Asmoday, but is also known as Asmodeus, Asmodaeus, pronounced in Arabic Ashmed; אשמדאי Ashmedeu in Hebrew, or also Chammadai, Sydonai
According to the Jewish demonological tradition Asmodeus is said to be the leader of the demons and has sometimes been identified with their prince. In fact, Asmodeus appears both in the Old Testament apocryphal gospels, in which he is presented as an evil spirit possessed by lust, and in the Book of Tobias in which the 7 angels opposed to the 7 Amesha are remembered.
According to the various traditions Asmodeus would cover various roles:
– keeper / treasure finder (according to Goetia)
– builder of Solomon’s temple (Jewish tradition)
The exact etymology of its name is uncertain. Some argue that the name “Asmodeus” derives from the Aramaic word “As’medi” or “Destroyer” as can also be deduced from the texts of Tobias.
A hereditary film the roots of evil was also made about this demon.

1) What is the Rave Panic Button? Who can initiate it and what information does it share with school staff, teachers, School Resource Officers, and first responders?
It is critical for teachers and staff to have the ability to contact help and resources from wherever they are. With a panic button, educational professionals can connect with law enforcement, the fire department, emergency medical services, onsite security personnel, and school administrators to trigger an immediate response.
The Rave Panic Button is a smartphone app that replaces physical and often inaccessible wall-mounted panic buttons. Always having access to a panic button in your pocket or bag shaves valuable minutes from response times in an emergency – potentially saving lives. However, the Rave Panic button is more than one big red button on a smartphone screen.
The benefit of having this system in place is that the right service can be provided to the right people in the least possible time. Onsite security – or onsite medical personnel – can deal with an incident as best they can, or provide an initial response to the incident while awaiting the arrival of police, fire or emergency medical service. Onsite personnel can also remove potential obstacles that may delay the arrival of emergency services once they are alerted to the incident. Rave Panic Button also allows your organization to conduct drills to prepare for all types of emergencies, and manage compliance with reporting by school, date range, and drill type.
2) What does it really mean for a Panic Button to integrate with 9-1-1 and Public Safety?
Navigating an emergency can impact your ability to clearly communicate with responders. Stress, fear, losing connection, or being in a situation where you cannot verbally share critical details can all jeopardize your safety in an emergency.
- Panic Button events appear automatically to 9-1-1 the moment the button is pressed before the 9-1-1 call is even answered.
- Information like location and the nature of the emergency are automatically displayed at the 9-1-1 workstation.
- Critical facility information including detailed maps of campus and buildings, indoor floorplans, entries/exits, and utility information can also be shared. This aids first responders before arriving on scene to determine next steps and the greatest areas of need.
- Rave Panic Button works for app, landline and mobile activations for a true 9-1-1 integration, allowing 9-1-1 to communicate back when the “All Clear” has been confirmed.
Enhanced 911 (E911), informally referred to as location services for 9-1-1 calling, connects you to the appropriate PSAP that is closest to your location and automatically sends your validated physical location and telephone number to the connected operator. This helps ensure that responders are dispatched to the correct location even if the caller cannot verbally communicate their location with the operator. Basic 9-1-1 calling, on the other hand, requires the distressed caller to tell the 9-1-1 dispatcher their location.
3) Is it in compliance with emerging state mandates such as Alyssa’s Law?
Alyssa’s Law is a legislation, named in remembrance of Alyssa Alhadeff, a victim of the 2018 Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School tragedy that addresses the issue of response time when a life-threatening emergency occurs. The law, already passed in New Jersey and Florida and pending in Texas, calls for the installation of silent panic alarms that are directly linked to first responders so they can get on the scene as quickly as possible, eliminate the threat, and triage any victims. To comply with Alyssa’s Law, Rave Panic Button alert system is already being utilized by dozens of schools in New Jersey and Florida.
4) What happens when the Rave Panic Button is pressed?
This depends on the nature of the incident. In the event of a non-emergency incident, a teacher or other authorized user can alert onsite personnel to an event and the type of assistance required. This is done choosing from a selection of pre-set messages to send to a recipient list. The app can also be used to send custom messages during an incident to provide directions or updates to onsite personnel.
In the event of an emergency, a 9-1-1 call is initiated. The 9-1-1 call dispatcher instantly sees where the call originated, who used the Rave Panic button and what type of emergency service is being requested. The system also enables the 9-1-1 call dispatcher to view details of the facility – such as the best access routes, floor plans of campus buildings and other information such as utility cutoff points. Access to such detailed information contributes to saving time and saving lives.
During the emergency, the Rave Panic button can be used as an incident management tool. The system allows incident commanders to relay information to first responders and deliver instructions to onsite personnel to better coordinate emergency response. Importantly during an emergency, incident commanders can provide accurate updates to authorized users to combat rumors and suppositions that may be distributed via social media channels.
5) Are users and first responders able to access critical school data like emergency protocols and floor plans?
Emergency response hinges on everyone having the information they need to act. Best practice is to have a panic button solution that allows users—teachers, staff, first responders, and incident commanders, for example—to have quick and easy access to your protocols, school maps, and other critical documents in one application. These documents should be accessible 24/7 on any web-enabled device, including the solution’s mobile app. First responders are able to prepare on their way to the scene and fully understand what they are walking into.
6) Can the panic button solution be customized to your specific needs?
Yes, it can. Emergency activation messages are customizable, including the ability to link to a resource like a fire evacuation route map or active assailant protocols. In addition, non-emergency staff assist templates are customizable so each organization can identify the scenarios (like suspicious objects, unruly students, distressed parents, etc.) in which they want to use the system. Notification groups are customizable, so that all staff are notified of assailant incidents, but only admins and nursing staff are notified about medical incidents. An in-app content repository can be populated with each campus’ emergency documents, floorplans, evacuation routes, and more.
7) How can you best prepare for successful use of the Rave Panic Button?
Providing authorized users with access to the Rave Panic button is an excellent first step toward safety. However, in order to achieve the most effective use of the system, the mechanisms need to be in place for 9-1-1 call responders to view details of the facility. To maximize safety, authorized users need to understand the procedures to follow during an emergency or non-emergency incident.
School officials can upload the relevant information via the web-based Rave Panic Button dashboard – which also serves as a useful incident management tool during an emergency. However, to better prepare onsite security and medical personnel for an emergency or non-emergency incident, school officials need to compile an emergency button activation plan. The plan should include school safety drills in which authorized users and 9-1-1 call dispatchers get practical experience of using the system under trial conditions. These drills can be life-saving, as they prepare members of your organization for unpredictable emergencies.
As different facilities have different designs, it can be advantageous to see the system in action before compiling an emergency button activation plan. In this respect, we invite school officials to contact us and arrange a free demonstration of the Rave Panic Button in order to better understand its capabilities. The demonstration will also provide an opportunity for onsite security and medical personnel to ask questions about how the Rave Panic Button works in specific circumstances. More than 10,000 schools and organizations across the U.S. trust the Rave Panic Button to enhance collaboration with 9-1-1, first responders and authorized personnel for emergency planning and panic button drills.

Lawyer Howard Weitzman, who successfully defended John De Lorean on cocaine conspiracy and fraud charges, said the former auto executive owes him $683,392 in unpaid legal fees. "Sometimes I don't understand clients, and he's one of them," Weitzman said. "If it wasn't for me he'd certainly be in a different position than he's in now." A Los Angeles Superior Court lawsuit filed by Weitzman and his law firm alleges De Lorean has failed to pay the legal bills or to respond to letters sent to him. Attorney Karen Randall, who is handling the lawsuit for Weitzman's law firm, said De Lorean had agreed orally in April 1986 to certain legal services involving a federal tax trial in Detroit. De Lorean was found innocent in that case. He declined to comment on the lawsuit.

It doesn’t take a Bollywood trade pundit, analyst or insider to ratify the condition of Bollywood films in the 90s: the lackluster scripts, recycled stories and songs, and masala potboilers galore are a testament to that. If there is one era in Bollywood that can somehow be held accountable for the atrocities inflicted upon us year after year, even today, in the name of ‘Blockbusters’ solely sailing upon big names, it is the 90s. Yes, it might have originated in the 80s, but it reached a fever pitch in the final decade of the 20th century. However, as entropy in the universe goes, everything must reset after reaching a nauseating high, and if recent trends indicate anything, this may already be working.
Why do I start on such a pessimistic note, you may ask? It is to highlight as to why this series of articles was warranted. It is to appreciate efforts of a select few filmmakers who either stood their ground and were not swayed by the wave of commercial cinema that had swept over Bollywood, or found a succinct balance between displaying their art and even making good money out of it.
As I have highlighted in a previous series of articles, these did serve as beacons of hope in a time otherwise marred by stagnation in content. It is these beacons that this series of articles attempts to bring to fore, for the informed public to read, and either get enlightened and update their watchlists, or to simply dowse in a healthy dose of 90s nostalgia. The list may include some movies previously unheard of by the masses, and may have skipped over fan favourite blockbusters. In that, I urge you to keep an open mind, and rather than getting enraged, give the other ones a try. You won’t be disappointed. That being said, here is the list of top movies of 1995.
Imagine the much superior ‘Sarfarosh’ watered down in content and technical craft, but with the same zealous and steely Aamir Khan. Infact, this movie proved to be testing ground for Aamir’s casting in ‘Sarfarosh’, convincing the producers and director that Aamir would be able to do justice to the role of a headstrong cop. Who woulda thought! Coming back to the film under discussion, ‘Baazi’ is standard cop vs. system fare, only a notch higher owing to Aamir’s credible act and Ashutosh Gowariker’s direction, although I am glad this is not the kind of films Gowariker later chose to do.
A word to the wise, the whole portion of the film which has Aamir crossdressing to infiltrate and extract information is completely ridiculous, and brings down an otherwise potentially taut film. However, other than that, it is pretty watchable. Well, almost.
7. Hum Dono
If you ask me one reason to watch this film, which, unfortunately, would be the only one I have, is because of Nana Patekar and Rishi Kapoor’s frankly amusing performances, and the unlikely chemistry they develop over the course of the film. Still, this film finds a mention on this list, because it would seem like a Triton among minnows, and boy, was 1995 a year of minnows in Bollywood’s case.
The film is reportedly inspired from ‘Plains, Trains and Automobiles’ with a little bit of Hoffman-Cruise starrer ‘Rain Man’ thrown in, and while the resultant is unoriginal, the film is consistently light hearted and intermittently humorous to keep the reel spinning, all because of its leading men. Other than that, it’s a pass.
6. Ram Jaane
‘Ram Jaane’ is a turbulent ride from start to beginning, and battles with a lot of potentially great moments coming its way. Unfortunately, a lot of them end up getting smothered, and the ones that do work are all owed to Shahrukh Khan’s manic turn as the titular character. Khan seems to have mastered the layered bad guy portrayal following ‘Baazigar’ and ‘Darr’, and ably carries the film on his shoulders, also faltering on a rare occasion or two when he chooses to give in for a touch of the (over)dramatic. Juhi Chawla and Vivek Mushran are good too in their respective roles.
If you are willing to, like me, you will end up seeing a lot of potential in the story, but when have exceeded expectations borne good for anyone? As a result, you do turn out relatively disappointed with the film, but given the others that released this year, ‘Ram Jaane’ seems like a success story.
5. Akele Hum Akele Tum
Certain scenes in Mansoor Khan’s ‘Akele Hum Akele Tum’ are directly lifted and enacted from the ’79 Hollywood classic, which adds it to the laboriously long list of Hollywood movies Bollywood ripped off in the 90s and is frankly, frustrating. However, along with a few other films mentioned in this series of articles, this film too is easy to forgive for its inspired nature, and that is primarily because the added Bollywood touch ends up working in favour of the film.
Aamir Khan and Manisha Koirala are great as the struggling parents fighting for their son’s custody, but the son, played by Adit Rizvi is an absolute scene stealer. Along with a hummable tune or two (also rip-offs), this is one remake that doesn’t hurt.

United’s deficiencies were glaringly exposed in the Carabao Cup semi-final this week.
The other semi-final took place last night between Aston Villa and Leicester City. Or from a United perspective, Jack Grealish vs James Maddison.
Both players would instantly improve United, and upgrade an increasingly woeful Jesse Lingard.
Neither Villa or Leicester want to sell in January, but of the two, Grealish is the more likely to be prised away in the summer.
His Villa side are battling relegation while Maddison could be playing Champions League football next year, a level above United as it stands.
Grealish was the most impressive of the two players last night too in the 1-1 draw at Leicester’s King Power Stadium.
He was a constant menace and drew six fouls, creating one chance in a tightly contested game.
This was not even a particularly virtuoso performance from Grealish, but it was plain to see the effect he had on his team, and the opposition, in contrast to Jesse Lingard’s totally vapid and anonymous performances for United.
Worth waiting for?
United need a player of Grealish’s quality now, but he is unlikely to want to walk out on his boyhood side mid-season.
It would condemn his side to relegation, and he would go from hero to villain.
In the summer, it is more likely a deal could be struck, at the right price.
Grealish impressed at Old Trafford as Villa claimed a point in December, and that was when fans started to sit up and take proper notice of him as a potential addition.
The Independent reported at the end of last month that Grealish is on United’s transfer shortlist.
We need to do make additions this January, but Grealish would be an excellent signing at the end of the season, if the club are willing to wait.
United fans dazzled
Supporters had plenty to say about Grealish’s performance on social media.
He was compared positively to James Maddison, and even our own Paul Pogba. Here’s a look…

CHENNAI: The inaugural Pondicherry Twenty20
tournament, which started from November 11 and was to be held till November 27, has been temporarily suspended. The move comes on the backdrop of allegations that the Pondicherry stadium complex --- hosting the six-team event --- was built on encroaching the government poramboke land and water bodies. Kiran Bedi
, Lt Governor of Pondicherry, had ordered an enquiry into the matter. Subsequently, the power connection and water supply to the ground were disconnected.
On Saturday, Cricket Association of Pondicherry
(CAP) announced the temporary suspension of the T20 league
. V Chandran, honorary secretary of CAP, in a release stated that the reputation of the association had been tarnished in the last few days. "It is highly regrettable to see the government agencies under the Lt Governor refuse to support the iconic cricket
centre, which is the face of Pondicherry, and ordered to be demolished without proper trials," he said.
A senior CAP official felt that the association's point of view has not been heard at all. "It is amply clear that we have been unfairly punished. But we are very confident of defending our case as there has been no wrongdoing from our end. All the necessary government guidelines have been followed and approvals taken while building the cricket complex," said the official.
On their part, the players are understandably dejected to see the league being stopped. "It was a tournament that saw all players getting into the groove and to have it temporarily suspended is a big blow for the players. We just hope that things are settled soon," said a senior Pondicherry player.

Malaysia’s opposition leader, Anwar Ibrahim, dismissed speculation that the pilot of the missing Malaysia Airlines jet, a supporter of his movement for democratic change, might have hijacked the plane for political reasons, in an interview with Britain’s Channel 4 News on Friday.
As The Lede explained on Wednesday, the pilot, Capt. Zaharie Ahmad Shah, was reportedly described by an unnamed government official as a “fanatical” supporter of Mr. Ibrahim, a remark that was widely misinterpreted by journalists and bloggers.
Speaking to the Channel 4 correspondent Jonathan Rugman, Mr. Ibrahim criticized the Malaysian government’s handling of the investigation into the missing Flight 370 as “clear incompetence” and said that any attempt “to cast aspersions on the pilot purely on the basis of political leanings is absurd.” Captain Zaharie was, according to Mr. Ibrahim, “very passionate about freedom and democracy,” and “a good professional pilot,” who simply did not fit the profile of an Islamist radical.
Days after Malaysian officials stunned international television viewers by grabbing relatives of missing passengers and dragging them away from reporters, Mr. Ibrahim said that the ruling coalition, which has been in power since 1957, was unable to deal with journalists who are not under state control. “They have been used to a compliant and controlled media,” he said. “And now, facing a more critical international audience, they have a problem. They fumble.”

This is the first textbook that comprehensively covers the three centuries of British business history from 1720 to the present day. Wilson argues that company culture has been the most important component in the evolution of business organisations and management practices. The influence of business culture on firms' structure, sources of finance, and the background and training of senior managers is investigated to show its pivotal importance in determining business performance.
Eight leading business historians examine the role of British business in Iran, India, Thailand, Malaysia, China, Russian Asia, and Japan. The primary focus is on the impact of British commerce in the region, and the essays, based on research in British business archives and government papers, discuss the activities and performance of British companies.
This book explores the limits of the idea of 'neo-colonialism' - the idea that in the period immediately after independence Malaya/Malaysia enjoyed only a 'pseudo-independence', largely because of the entrenched and dominant position of British business interests allied to indigenous elites. The author argues that, although British business did indeed have a strong position in Malaysia in this period, Malaysian politicians and administrators were able to utilise British business, which was relatively weak vis-a-vis the Malaysian state, for their own ends, at the same time as indigenous businesses and foreign, non-British competitors were gathering strength. In addition, despite the commitment of both Conservative and Labour governments in the UK to preserving British influence worldwide through the Commonwealth relationship, British firms in Malaysia received only limited support from the British post-imperial state.
Author: Great Britain. Royal Commission on Historical Manuscripts
This volume describes the records of 1200 companies, partnerships and individuals active in the manufacture and finishing of textiles, clothing and leather when these industries were establishing and consolidating Britain's position as the world's most important industrial and commercial power. It is based on a survey that covered collections in record repositories, libraries and museums, and also archives retained by the original firms or their successors. Details of many of these have not previously been available to the historian. The guide provides information not only about practices and developments in management, accounting, production and marketing, but also about textile design, industrial archaeology and social conditions.
United States. Congress. House. Committee on Foreign Affairs. Subcommittee on Africa
The typical British publicly traded company has widely dispersed share ownership and is run by professionally trained managers who collectively own an insufficiently large percentage of shares to dictate the outcome when shareholders vote. This separation of ownership and control has not only dictated the tenor of corporate governance debate in Britain but serves to distinguish the UK from most other countries. Existing theories fail to account adequately for arrangements in the UK. Corporate Ownership and Control accordingly seeks to explain why ownership became divorced from control in major British companies. The book is organized by reference to the 'sell side', which encompasses the factors that might prompt those owning large blocks of shares to exit or accept dilution of their stake, and the 'buy side', which involves factors that motivate investors to buy equities and deter the new shareholders from themselves exercising control. The book's approach is strongly historical in orientation, as it examines how matters evolved from the 17th century right through to today. While a modern-style divorce of ownership and control can be traced back at least as far as mid-19th century railways, the 'outsider/arms-length' system of ownership and control that currently characterizes British corporate governance did not crystallize until the middle of the 20th century. The book brings the story right up to date by showing current arrangements are likely to be durable. Correspondingly, the insights the book offers should remain salient for some time to come.
"The International Handbook of Psychology in Education" provides researchers, practitioners and advisers working in the fields of psychology and education with an overview of cutting-edge research across a broad spectrum of work within the domain of psychology of education. The chapters in the handbook are authored by internationally recognised researchers, from across Europe, North America and the Pacific Rim. As well as covering the latest thinking within established areas of enquiry, the handbook includes chapters on recently emerging, yet important, topics within the field and explicitly considers the inter-relationship between theory and practice. A strong unifying theme is the volume's emphasis on processes of teaching and learning. The work discussed in the handbook focuses on typically developing school-age children, although issues relating to specific learning difficulties are also addressed.
Author: Commission on Public Policy and British Business
Publisher: Random House (UK)
A report in which senior business leaders and eminent academics call for a new relationship between government and corporate Britain. The commission identifies current failings in UK economic performance and sets out a radical vision of public policy towards business, with improved domestic demand.

AFTER not knowing what to do with ourselves for nearly three months and waiting for the football to return – it is great to be back…
The same can be said for the Official Coleraine Podcast which marks its fourth season, and whilst some things don’t change as co-hosts Johnny McNabb and Damian Mullan remain in place, there has kindly been a new sponsor for the podcast in the name of the Lodge Hotel.
The first guest this season is striker David McDaid who returned to The Showgrounds in the summer from Ballymena United. He discusses his first spell at Coleraine, how the league has transformed with full-time football and playing on both sides of the border.
McDaid also speaks about playing upfront with Matthew Shevlin, how delighted he was to see Andrew Mitchell return to the pitch following injury and why he believes Conor McKendry can become of the best players in the division.
The trio analyse the win against Ballymena on the opening night of the new season, the large crowd on the Ballycastle Road and Friday night’s game away to Loughgall.
You can listen to the podcast via the link provided HERE, as well as on Spotify, Anchor and Pocket Casts.

I have used this pack for over 5 years and I have used it on many camping trips. I did a 2 week backpacking trip in New Mexico with it and it held up great.
The only reason why I am getting a new pack is because it is starting to get small.

Design: Top loading
Number of Pockets: 7
Max. Load Carried: 40
Height of Owner: 6'1
Price Paid: $55
I needed a pack because I tend to overpack or get stuck with everyone else's gear.
So far, so good. It's survived a trip thru the airport and survived LAX and ATL and no scratches. On the trip, the pack held up well against the elements, always had a place for something, and fit snuggly to my back; didn't really even notice the pack like I have others. Luckily I have the model with the sternum strap and decent hip belt; and I still can't believe how comfortable it is considering the price and market.
Reviewers tend to recommend this for young adults / scouts but it's also a great bag for seasoned hikers who don't care about the weight nor need to pack everything. I'm 6'1 and it fit OK (I'm a lil tall for it).
