Nissan has given its Leaf electric car a nip and a tuck, boosting its range to 235 miles of zero-emissions driving on European roads.
The hike in range equates to around a 50% increase over the older model, thanks to a larger 40 kilowatt hour battery, though the mileage will vary in different road and driving conditions.
The range is also a little short when compared to electric cars from the likes of Tesla with is Model X 100D, which has a range close to 300 miles.
But the Leaf looks to offer something different in the form of a new one-pedal driving system and an automatic parking system.
The former provides a single E-Pedal for controlling acceleration, breaking and stopping by linking to the Leaf’s regenerative tech which helps top up the battery with harvested kinetic energy when the breaks are applied. A dedicated break pedal is still present for times when aggressive breaking is needed, but the aim of the E-Pedal is to be the one pedal to rule them all in daily driving.
Petrolheads, particularly those who are fans of three pedals might baulk at the Leaf’s single pedal, but it could be a step towards simplifying the sometimes daunting process of driving for beginners and under-confident motorists.
The auto parking system is, as the description suggests, a means for the Leaf to park itself. The new 2018 model contains the most advanced version of Nissan’s ProPilot Park system, which uses a suite of sensors and cameras to park into a bay automatically once the driver selects a parking bay and taps the car’s parking button.
Beyond the under bonnet tweaks, Nissan has given the new Leaf a solid makeover in the looks department; the new model spots much sharper lines than its predecessor and opts for a more angular aesthetic over the more rounded design of the older car. The overall exterior design is not likely to stand out from the many other annual mass-market cars found on today’s roads, which for an everyday hatchback is not necessarily a bad thing.
The interior has also been given a makeover, with a new infotainment system and digital displays, and the new Leaf comes with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility. A few retro features such as an analogue speedometer and physical switches for the aircon, help add a degree of familiarity amidst the digital controls.
The 2018 Nissan Leaf is set to arrive January 2018, and while Nissan hasn’t revealed official pricing, the Leaf is likely to start around the £25,000 mark, following on from its older sibling.

One could argue that Titanic was a movie of this kind. It wasn’t. It shares a lot of elements but Titanic was merely a template for what James Cameron has achieved here. How he does it is amazing.
Nothing in this movie is new. It’s all been done before. Elements of great movies and stories we already know are twist through the dense jungle, the incredible dialogue and the winding plot. It’s just NEVER been told this way before. Cameron dips his paint brush into well known and vivid colors to produce not only a unique masterpiece but a new genre of story telling.
We are given nothing familiar, a landscape and people completely alien to us. In our journey through this epic, we are immersed in this foreign culture. For three hours, our world becomes theirs. When this movie finishes it’s course, when you leave the theatre, you feel as if you are leaving home.

- Islington law enforcement insist they were not 'getting the club back' after fabric's successful appeal against strict security measures last December.
Metropolitan Police deny their push to close fabric was an attempt at "getting the club back" following the Farringdon venue's successful court appeal last year.
In December of 2015 a court overturned an attempt by local police and Islington Council to enforce strict security measures like ID scans and sniffer dogs. In her ruling, District Judge Allison described fabric as a "beacon of best practice." Nine months later the club was closed, with police describing the venue as a "safe haven for drugs" following the deaths of two 18-year-olds from overdoses.
Speaking to BBC Radio 1, Commander Nick Davies from Islington Police said, "I have only been working in Islington since May, so for me to say it's a vendetta, I don't think so. I had no knowledge of [fabric co-founder] Cameron [Leslie] before this period. But there have been two deaths on my watch, which makes me have to do something."
Leslie's speech to Islington Council's licensing sub-committee, made on the night the council decided to close the venue, suggested the police were "entirely premeditated" in their move to close the club.
"They no longer want to work with us and have decided to get the evidence together to get a summary review," Leslie said. "If anyone thinks for a second that the sensitively named Operation Lenor, a fabric softner, that Central Licensing undertook and the entirely unprofessional conduct that their lead officer took that night in dealing with our management team tells us that this was an entirely premeditated exercise to find the evidence required to be able to serve a summary review. This team started from the end point and gathered evidence accordingly. The only time we stood up to the police in 17 years was by refusing two conditions out of 53 they wanted to punish us with in 2014 and I might add were proven entirely correct by a District Judge that they did not support the licensing objectives."

Spatio-Temporal Experience of Tour Routes in the Humble Administrator’s Garden Based on Isovist AnalysisHuishu Chen, Li Yang
- Management, Monitoring, Policy and Law
- Renewable Energy, Sustainability and the Environment
- Geography, Planning and Development
- Building and Construction
Chinese classical gardens (CCGs), as a distinct spatial category within architectural, historical research, are renowned for creating intricate and ever-changing spatial experiences within confined areas. Despite the existing literature and theories that attempt to explain these rich experiential qualities, many of these explanations need concrete empirical evidence due to the complex nature of gardens, where visual characteristics transform with the movement of people. This study employs a computational analysis method known as isovist to measure the evolving visual features of visitors along four representative pathways within a large-scale garden, the Humble Administrator’s Garden. By analyzing and comparing the changing visual attributes of these four routes, the aim is to validate the relationship between the garden’s pathway system and its spatial structure and assess the influence of pathway selection on the overall garden spatial experience.

|Heckler & Koch SL6|
|Place of origin||Germany|
|Manufacturer||Heckler & Koch|
|Weight||7.92 pounds (3.6 kg) unloaded|
|Length||39.76 in. (1010mm)|
|Barrel length||17.71 in. (450mm)|
|Cartridge||.223 Remington, 5.56×45mm NATO|
|Rate of fire||Semi-automatic or Select-fire (Semi, 2-round Burst) (SL6A2)|
|Feed system||3, 4, or 10-round single column, internal magazine|
|Sights||Rotary rear aperture drum, hooded foresight|
The Heckler & Koch SL6 is a roller-delayed blowback operated sporting carbine made by Heckler & Koch. It is manufactured in 5.56×45mm caliber. The design was originally based on the HK 630 sporting rifle and is essentially a shorter-barreled version of that rifle. It was marketed throughout the world as a hunting/utility rifle.
Design and operation
The roller-delayed blowback action is similar to that used in the G3 battle rifle and is the hallmark feature of Heckler and Koch's pre-G36 line of small arms. The four groove barrel features polygonal rifling with a right-hand twist of 1 in 10.6 inches. The chamber is fluted with 12 longitudinal flutes extending rearward from the baffle to the chamber face. These flutes permit propellant gases to flow around the case acting as a lubricant to ease extraction. The SL6 has a diopter sighting system and utilizes Heckler and Koch's proprietary HK 05 claw-type scope mount. Two rectangular recesses have been cut into the upper receiver to accept this mount.
The H&K SL6 is no longer manufactured, having been replaced by the H&K SLB 2000. The H&K SL7 is a variant chambered in 7.62×51mm caliber. The H&K SL6A2 variant is essentially the same rifle; however, the SL6A2 includes a flash hider and offers a two round burst selector.

In the wake of enduring a three battle losing streak from 2015 to 2017, Chris Weidman got back on the triumphant track by taking out Kelvin Gastelum by means of third-round accommodation at UFC on FOX 25 in July of 2017.
Shockingly for the previous Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Middleweight boss of the world, his force was stopped by thumb damage endured amid the battle, which has prompted a few medical procedures and additional time on the sidelines than he may enjoyed.
In any case, don’t go overlooking “All American” at this time, as the ex-division ruler pronounced on The MMA Hour once he comes back to activity, the remainder of the 185-pound contenders will have a difficult, but not impossible task ahead as he is certain he can directly through the challenge on his way back to the top
I have some great fights coming for myself. I have accomplished a lot, but I am still young in my MMA career, as far as fights. I have a lot of great things coming. I’m not to the point where I am going to start looking back and wishing or saying ‘If I wasn’t injured for that, or this things would be different.’ I am very blessed in where I am in this sport. I am blessed for everything I have accomplished so far and I am blessed with the abilities that I have. When I speak and say I am the best in the world and have the capability to dominate everybody in my weight class, I really believe that. If I give half of my energy to this sport and really didn’t give 100-percent of my mental to this sport, then I could finish my career as a fan favorite; win some, lose some, win some big fights, lose some big fights. But I feel I really have the mentality and the physical abilities to completely dominate my weight class. I have to get back physically first with this hand, and get my mentality where I need to be and I can run through everybody.
Can’t thump the certainty.
The way things are, “All American” as of now verifies the No. 4 spot on the authority UFC rankings (full rundown here), and hasn’t been truly influenced by going 1-3 since 2015. With a pending return not long from now, there won’t be a lack of top challengers prepared and willing to greet back the previous division lord.
Meanwhile, current victor Robert Whittaker will safeguard his title against Yoel Romero — who holds a savage knockout success over Weidman — in the headliner of UFC 225 on June 9, 2018 in Chicago, Ill.

FINANCE AND INVESTMENT
By NICHOLAS DAVENPORT
I AM all for the new capitalism. While I have stoutly upheld the legal rights of the proprietors of the business—the equity holders—to receive the highest possible dividend that is financially prudent—with- out political or TUC interference—I have always assumed that the workers would also receive the highest possible wages obtainable by hard, collective bargaining. When profits rise the first claim that should be considered, as Mr. Harold Watkinson, M.P., argued the other day, is that of the customer. Prices should be reduced. The next claim, say the TUC, is that of the worker. In theory that is not correct, but in practice the unions will press for higher wages and find less resistance on the part ' of the management who are often only too ' ready to sacrifice the interests of the equity- holder for peace in the factory. In theory, of course, the next and only claim is that of the owners of the equity, for unless their rewards increase in times of prosperity, they will have no incentive to provide the risk capital which industry requires for its development, and the economy for its flexibility. I admit that it seems difficult to explain this point to the workers and for that reason I favour some form of participa- tion in profits so that they can feel that the tid-bits of an industrial boom are not falling into the mouths of one privileged class. It is also important for the workers to feel that the holders of the risk capital are not a class apart but people performing a useful economic function to which any one can aspire who saves something out of his income. I therefore favour schemes which enable workers to acquire equity shares in the company employing them. The final step in the new capitalism will be to provide the clever workers with special training so that they can rise up the management ladder and into the board room—if they feel so inclined. That seems to' me to be the only sort of egalitarianism which will pull an economy up and not down.
- Rugby Cement Profit-Sharing With these preliminary remarks I ought to welcome the profit-sharing or equity-sharing scheme which the chairman, Mr. Halford Reddish, is proposing for the employees of the Rugby Portland Cement Company. But I am critical of it. In my opinion it is far too ingenious and complicated. If profit-sharing is to become popular with the workers it must be simple and intelligible to the average man. This cement scheme will give him a headache. To begin with, the equity capital is to be enlarged by a 'rights' issue of one million new 5s. ordinary shares at 20s. on the basis of two-for-eight. Simultaneously, one million new `A' shares of ls. are to be issued for cash at par—half to old shareholders who take up the new 5s. shares and half to the company's employees including executives. But the new ls. shares will qualify for dividends only when net profits exceed £900,000 and the dividend distributed on the ordinary exceeds £300,000 gross. Last year the net profits were £633,000 and the gross dividend £100,000. Clearly, the new capital will have to earn a lot of money first and the workers will be kept
guessing. This, I submit, is not the way to turn workers into capitalists. The right way is to give them facilities for buying the existing equity shares—without watering or complicating new issues of capital—so that they are on the same footing as any outside investor. The facilities they require are easy hire-purchase terms—the instal- ments spread over a long period and payable out of their wages when their weekly earnings exceed so much a week. The £1 equity shares should of course be sub-divided into Is. units for the convenience of these worker investors. I observe that the leader of the Conserv.. ative Party at the Blackpool Conference welcomed the new capitalism as a property-, owning democracy and endorsed all profit- sharing or co-partnership schemes. my support of workers' equity investment it based not on the blessings on property ownership which are incidental, but on social ethics and sound economics. Profit-sharing should, I submit, be confined to equity investment. It should not take the place of wage bargaining between management and unions. Nor should it displace bonus
incentive schemes in the factory. The workers must feel themselves capable of participating in equity profits and equity control.

In his first big public appearance since becoming Bank of England governor, Mark Carney is a bit more hawkish than some may have hoped for, saying he sees signs the economic recovery is broad-based and set to continue, and the bank won't hesitate to hike rates when required.
On the dovish side, he says the bank won't consider hiking rates until 7% unemployment is hit and even that level isn't necessarily a trigger. There's also nothing about the bank's forward guidance which would prevent adding to stimulus if the bank deemed it necessary.
Cable (FXB, GBB) shoots higher, continuing a big run which began when Carney took the BOE helm earlier this summer. It's erased nearly all of a sizable early loss this session, and is buying $1.5530 vs. about $1.49 when Carney took over.
Bulls on the pound should remember that Ben Bernanke took over the Fed flashing his hawkish guns as well - hiking rates numerous times into clear signs the economy/housing was rolling over. Central bankers take it as sort of a code to start off tough on monetary policy.
The FTSE 100 (EWU) loses a bit more ground on the session, -0.6%.


How the Healthiest Lunches are Wrapped with Danger
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Liz Rice, Enviro-Health Speaker, is on a mission to educate children, parents and teachers about the dangers found in the containers and bottles that kids eat and drink from everyday.
TORONTO, ON (August 20, 2012)—According to an article in Chemical and Engineering News, all food packaging, no matter what kind, will leach some material into the food it contains and due to the substantial growth and high metabolism of children who consume more air, food, drinks and water than adults, this also means they absorb more toxins too. With back-to-school shopping on every parent’s mind, Liz Rice, Enviro-Health Speaker and Toronto‘s Eco Resource warns parents to choose wisely when selecting containers, bottles and packaging for their kid’s lunch.
“Over 300 million tons of plastic are produced annually worldwide,” says Rice. “Some plastics contain a chemical called Bisphenol A or BPA, which, according to The Environmental Working Group is a known hormone disruptor, with the potential for causing ailments like birth defects, infertility and breast cancer; and over 1 million pounds of BPA is released into the environment every year,” Rice adds.
Thankfully, there are many preventative measures that we can take to reduce our exposure to the toxins in plastic. Rice has made it her life’s mission to educate people on the environment and its effects on our health. She does this primarily by making presentations to students in elementary and high schools, as well as adults in the workplace.
Presentation topics include Recycling, The Dangers of Plastics, Green Energy & Conservation, The Benefits of Organic & Local Food, No Scents Makes Sense, and more. Rice is aiming to put the interaction between the environment and people’s health at the forefront of everyone’s mind. “Concerning children, it’s important that we teach them proper environmental and personal care while they’re young so they will carry those habits into adulthood,” says Rice.
Rice is gearing up for back-to-school to deliver her presentation on: The Dangers of Plastics. Rice demonstrates which containers are safe to eat and drink from and the proper use of plastic containers, bags and wraps—an even bigger concern when microwaving. She also shows how to evaluate the containers parents already have at home and those on their shopping list.
“I advise that parents steer clear of plastic wrap and plastics numbered 3, 6 and 7 when choosing containers. Stainless steel water bottles are great, but they must only be used for water. In addition to avoiding specific plastics, I would like to see more people using reusable everything (cups, cutlery, bags). Lastly, look for minimally packaged products and avoid plastic whenever possible.”
“My goal is to show both the children and their parents, how to protect themselves from the unseen dangers of plastics on their health and the health of the planet.”

Hematite, α-Fe2O3, is an important semiconductor for photoelectrochemical water splitting. Its low charge carrier mobility and the presence of midgap states provide favourable conditions for electron-hole recombination, hence affecting the semiconductor's photoelectrochemical efficiency. The nature of the excited state and charge carrier transport in hematite is strongly debated. In order to further understand the fundamental properties of the hematite photoexcited state, we conducted femtosecond 2p (L3) X-ray absorption (XAS) and 2p3d resonant inelastic scattering (RIXS) measurements on hematite thin-films at the Pohang Accelerator Laboratory X-ray Free Electron Laser (PAL-XFEL). The observed spectral changes and kinetic processes are in agreement with previous 3p XAS reports. The potential additional information that could be acquired from 2p3d RIXS experiments is also discussed.

DeKalb County looking for volunteers for local homeless count and survey
[adsanity id=”53551″ align=”aligncenter” /]
On Thursday, Jan. 24, DeKalb County is administering a street count and survey of homeless people, and volunteers are needed.
According to a recent press release, the point of the count and survey is “to help us understand the scope of homelessness in our community.”
Volunteers will be split up into teams in one of three areas across the county:
– North DeKalb County, team meets at Center for Pan Asian Community Services
– East DeKalb County, team meets at Salvation Army Peachcrest
– West DeKalb County, team meets at South DeKalb Senior Center
“We must gather accurate data on our homeless population to track the success of local efforts to end homelessness,” a press release from DeKalb County Commissioner Larry Johnson says. “By complying with the federal requirement to conduct a biennial homeless census, our community can receive over $5 million annually in federal funding for homeless services and housing.”
Volunteers can bring items to homeless people such as bottled water, pre-packaged foods, and toiletry bags. In addition, volunteers are advised to not bring valuables with them to their counting location.
In the case of bad weather, the count will be postponed to Tuesday, Jan. 29. A change in date will be announced by 10 a.m. on Jan. 24.
To sign up to volunteer, click here.

In his "Shake the Room" collaborative track with Pop Smoke, Quavo teased an extravagant gift for the woman in his life: "Hit the flashlight to see her face/And she lookin' like a snack/Birkin bag on the way."
Thankfully for Saweetie, Quavo kept his word.
On Thursday night, the Icy rapper celebrated her birthday with an intimate gathering of friends and family. Saweetie documented the day with a series of Instagram stories, showing her dressed to the nines, popping bottles, throwing stacks, and enjoying a seafood feast. One of the most viral moments of the celebration was when Quavo presented Saweetie with not one, but two Hermès Birkins, which are widely considered the Rolls Royce of handbags.
Vide of the moment shows Saweetie screaming with excitement, as her party guests cheer and snap photos. We then see Saweetie with one Birkin on each arm before she jumps into a split and begins to twerk as Quavo stands in the background and does a face-palm.
For those who know the price of Birkins, Saweetie's insane reaction is understandable. According to Fortune, these pieces can range anywhere between $12,000 to nearly a quarter of a million dollars, depending on the size, color, material, and hardware. Though it's unclear how much Quavo paid for the gifts, it's safe to say he dropped 10s of thousands of dollars.
The video has since gone viral on social media and has been met with mixed reactions. You can check out some of the responses below.

Electra Regrets Breast Implants
Carmen Electra hated her breasts after getting massive implants, because she was talked into getting bigger boobs than she wanted. The sexy Baywatch actress, who is married to rocker Dave Navarro, claims it took her time to adjust to her new voluptuous figure. She explains, "I didn't like it at first. I really didn't want to go as big as I ended up going. "It was nice that I didn't have to wear a push-up bra anymore, but I could have left myself alone. "I didn't need to do it." Electra says she envies SIN CITY star Jessica Alba, because she hasn't altered her looks in any way. She adds, "Jessica Alba is naturally pretty, she's very sweet. "I feel in love with her because she's the nicest girl - she's sexy because she's got an incredible body."

Dora is always on the rescue that is why she is well loved by people.

Holiday coloring sheets offer a young person the opportunity to gain a positive and independent attitude they'll use later in life; it gives them an outlet for expressing the way they perceive the world that surrounds them. When they see the blank figures come to life as they complete their coloring, it'll stimulate their minds and teach them about colors and shapes. A Winnie the Pooh coloring pages booklet is like from manna from heaven for parents everywhere, as they will be able to savor and earn themselves such much needed peace and quiet. Without a doubt, when it comes to a cost effective, easy means by which to entertain children, Winnie the Pooh free coloring pages excel in every way.


I cannot count how many times I have seen a car with shiny paint but horrific looking wheels and tires while driving. A few weeks ago when the team at Detailed Image starting supplying Meguiar’s products I knew we were all in for a treat. Meguiar’s is possibly the most known manufacture of detailing products. They have everything from OTC (over the counter) products, to professional detailing supplies which makes them a go-to for many.
One thing you won’t find in stores is Meguiar’s Super Degreaser and Meguiar’s Wheel Brightener. Using these two products will time and time again get you great results on most wheels and tires in little time.
A little bit of information about the products.
Meguiar’s Super Degreaser is an extremely concentrated formula that is effective on wheels, tires, wheel wells, engine bays, and other contaminated surfaces. With this concentrated formula you can dilute 4:1 (water/product) for heavy cleaning or 10:1 (water/product) for mild cleaning. Talk about a money saver!
Now let’s talk about proper usage. Make sure the surface you are working on is cool and preferably out of direct sunlight. Soak the area you will be working on to first loosen the dirt and grime. Spray onto the affected areas and allow 30-45 seconds for the product to penetrate the dirt and grime to help loosen and to make your job easier. Take a designated brush and agitate until desired results are achieved. Rinse clean and watch the dirt just fall out.
Meguiar’s Wheel Brightener is a strong acid based wheel cleaner that is only used for wheels that are caked with brake dust and grime. I recommend wearing gloves while using this product. Like the degreaser this product comes in a concentrated formula as well. I mix my wheel brightener 4:1 (water/product) whenever I use it. This product IS A MUST for cars that produce a great amount of brake dust (Audi’s, BMW’s, Porsche, Mercedes, Aston Martin, Volkswagen). Although if you maintain your wheels properly, you will not have the need to use Wheel Brightener every time.
Here is how I use Wheel Brightener. First, I make sure the surface is cool and wet. I soak the wheel as much as possible. I lightly mist the chemical onto the wheel surface being careful not to allow too much onto the brake components. I allow to product to sit for 15-20 seconds to help loosen, then I use my wheel brush for the face of the wheels while I use my EZ-Detail Brush to make sure behind the spokes and the barrel of the wheels are clean. Having the right product and tools and knowing how to properly use them is the key.
Here is a 2006 Audi A4 with neglected wheels. I did a small photo shoot for you guys to help you get a better understanding of what needs to be done. Here you can see the wheel is covered in hard brake dust deposit that has sat for quite some time. The wheels have no shine to it and takes away from the vehicles appearance.
The first thing you need to do is spray a liberal amount of water onto the surface. This will help loosen the brake dust.
Next, take you Super Degreaser and make sure to cover the tire, wheel well and some of the wheel.
Next, grab the Wheel Brightener and spray the wheel and behind onto the barrel.
Next you want to use your wheel/tire brush and scrub the tire and the face of the wheel. Give a quick rinse before moving onto the barell.
After the tire and face of the wheel are complete, take you EZ Detail Brush and scrub the barrel of the wheel and behind the spokes.
This next step is just as important. Because of the severity of brake dust on these wheels, I rinsed my brush after each section before going onto the next. This keeps your brush clean and allows it to work much better. This will also keep your wash bucket/media cleaner, longer so your doing no cross contamination within the wheels.
Note : Two pics above where I was, now look where I’m at after cleaning my EZ Detail Brush.
You can see here how clean the wheel bucket water is once I’m complete. This was after all 4 wheels, I started on the driver front side and worked my way around. Not only is it safer to for your wheels, but it keeps your tools and supplies in great shape by keeping them clean.

(Chuck Muth) – One of the reasons unemployment continues to be so high today is that our government education camps devote their time and attention to teaching our youth how to be good employees instead of good self-employed entrepreneurs. After all, what if they grow up and, you know, make a profit or something. Oh, the horror!
But it’s even worse than that. As our friend Roger Hedgecock pointed out in a recent column, state and local governments around the country are actually waging war on lemonade stands, treating them as a sort of gateway drug to financial independence from government.
Fortunately, one man has had enough and is doing something about it.
“Selling lemonade is a great learning experience for kids,” writes Robert Fernandez. “They are being productive members of society. They are learning about money and running a small business. They are learning about supply and demand. The learning opportunities are endless.”
He concludes, very simply, that “Selling lemonade is not a crime.” Or at least, it shouldn’t be.
Alas, some government apparatchiks think otherwise. So to bring attention to the criminalization of lemonade stands, Mr. Fernandez has unilaterally declared this Saturday, August 20th, Lemonade Freedom Day!
“We need to send a message to everyone who is listening,” the father of two writes. “They cannot shut down the kids lemonade stands. If you do not have kids or do not want to set up your own lemonade stand, please support a local kid’s lemonade stand.”

The wonders of business travel fade quickly, and after thirty years of it I find myself working harder to keep the process from draining my mental and spiritual reserves.
Airline lounges are hardly novel (they have been around for almost as long as paid passenger air travel,) but their continued evolution is a joy. Thirty years ago, when I first found myself elevated into business class by a thoughtful employer, the Singapore Airlines lounge at LAX was little more than 200 square foot windowless room with soft lighting, chairs, and some soft drinks.
Today in many parts of the world, lounges look more and more like WeWorks, with WiFi, plugs, light buffet service, full bars, and even showers. There are places to eat, sleep, bathe, work, and watch a little TV. Almost, in other words, all the comforts of home: enough to take one’s mind off of the stressful process of travel and engross it in something more worthwhile.
For me, they are my place to get a few last things done before the plane takes off. I can no longer work on planes for reasons too convoluted to discuss here. On a typical trip I’ll have anywhere from 90 minutes to three hours to do just enough to buy me time to get to the other end of my trip. It is almost always enough.
Creativity gets a boost for me as well in these places. Of the two books I have written, a surprising proportion has been written in these spaces, so much so that I actually put All Nippon Airways in the acknowledgements of my last book. So more than just sanctuary from the unpleasant preliminaries of trans-oceanic flight, lounges for me are temples of intense and deeply satisfying focus.

Jewellery giant Pandora has announced a new partnership with NHS Charities Together, a membership organisation representing, supporting and championing NHS Charities.
The partnership, which officially launches today (June 4) will take place over a two-month period and will see Pandora raise funds for the organisation through the sale of a special ‘Thank You NHS’ charm.
For every charm sold, Pandora will donate 100% of the profits to NHS Charities Together, in aid of their Covid-19 Urgent Appeal.
The new charm, which has been created bespoke for the collaboration, features the engraving, ‘Thank You NHS’ on one side and ‘Our Heroes’ on the other.
Crafted from sterling silver and hand-painted with blue enamel, the charm is a poignant reminder of all the incredible work the NHS does for the UK on a daily basis.
Retailing at £35, the charm will be available to purchase online and selected UK stores.
The objective behind the partnership is to raise significant funds for the NHS and the fight against coronavirus.
Pandora UK & Ireland managing director, Kate Walsh, shares: “We are absolutely delighted to be partnering with NHS Charities Together. This is a very difficult time for people across the UK and globally and we want to support our amazing health service and all the incredible key workers who are working so hard to keep us safe and well. We hope this partnership will raise awareness of all the fantastic work the NHS does and also raise significant funds to help the efforts to contain Covid-19.”
“This is such a lovely way for people to show their support for our NHS frontline staff, employees and patients in the middle of this crisis,” adds NHS Charities Together, chief exec, Ellie Orton. “The profits will also go towards our Covid-19 appeal and make a huge difference to all the people we’re supporting across the UK.”
The partnership follows Pandora’s donation of 10,000 medical masks to local Danish hospitals and the US market’s contribution of $50,000 to the American Nurses Association.

La Mesa helping businesses during COVID-19 and opens up popular park
City will waive business license fee, opens MacArthur Park
La Mesa is working to ease some of the burden on businesses and provide more recreational opportunities to residents during the COVID-19 pandemic.
With many small businesses in La Mesa shuttered or pivoting their business models since mid-March, the City Council last week voted unanimously to waive business license fees through April 30, 2021. Licenses are $35 per year, plus $3 per employee for commercial business, and a flat $35 per year for home businesses.
La Mesa has nearly 5,500 active business licenses, including more than 3,700 that have a fixed location.
The waiving of fees will result in the city losing about $265,000 in business tax revenue through the end of Fiscal Year 2020-21, according to the city’s Finance Department.
The city still plans on charging a $70 business license fee to out-of-city businesses that come to La Mesa to conduct business such as contractors and consultants. The city collects about $125,000 annually from those licenses.
The council also unanimously approved reopening MacArthur Park near the city’s still-closed Community Center. The gate that had been locked since mid-April is now open during regular park hours, though the parking lot continues to be cordoned off.
All but one of La Mesa’s 14 parks are open, but the city said that with the exception of members of a single family or household, all gatherings in the parks are prohibited and that social distancing must be observed. La Mesa parks are open from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., except for Harry Griffen Park and MacArthur Park, which open at 7 a.m. and close one hour after dusk
If people do not continue to abide by the social-distancing orders, Mayor Mark Arapaostathis said the city would retain the rights to close the parks.
The parking lots and active recreation areas inside the parks are closed, including the Canine Corners off-leash dog area at Harry Griffen Park and the skating area at La Mesita Park. Playgrounds, athletic fields and the city’s municipal swimming pool are also still closed.
The City Council discussed opening its other park that can be gated and locked, Sunshine Park, on 70th Street near Tower Street. Arapostathis said that because Sunshine Park shares part of its 2.31 acres with adjacent Rolando Elementary School, it needed the La Mesa-Spring Valley School District’s approval.
City Manager Greg Humora said the school district and city of La Mesa together decided not to open the park but that the city would continue to monitor the situation.

Bush Promotes Medicare Rx Discount Card Plan
President Bush on Friday promoted his prescription drug discount plan for seniors, introduced last week, while speaking to 200 health care providers at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, the Los Angeles Times reports. Bush also said that he is "not afraid" to tackle Medicare reform, "vow[ing]" to add prescription drug coverage to the program (Chen, Los Angeles Times, 7/15). Under the discount card plan, which does not require congressional approval, the federal government would approve discount cards issued by pharmacy benefit managers, which would use the purchasing power of Medicare beneficiaries to negotiate with pharmacies and drug makers to reach discounts of between 15% to 25% off of drugs' retail prices. Participating PBMs would also "steer" seniors to specific drugstores, create preferred drug lists, fill prescriptions by mail and operate telephone call centers to answer consumers' questions. Seniors would pay no more than $25 to participate in the plan and would be able to select the discount plan that best suits their needs. Seniors would be able to switch plans up to two times per year. Medicare beneficiaries would be permitted to enroll in one of the discount drug plans on or after Nov. 1 and discounts would begin Jan. 1, 2002. Democrats have criticized the plan, saying it does "too little" for seniors. The nation's retail pharmacies have said that the discount plan could lead to "lower profits" and might put some pharmacies out of business (Gallagher, St. Louis Post-Dispatch, 7/15).This is part of the California Healthline Daily Edition, a summary of health policy coverage from major news organizations.

Kosovo Liberation Army
PRISTINA - Clint Williamson, the head of Eulex's special investigation team, has a large dossier on crimes committed by the former "Kosovo Liberation Army" (KLA) and is expected to hand it over to the judges of a special court that will look into the findings of the former Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe rapporteur Dick Marty, the Pristina-based Express daily has reported.
Kosovo will ask the EU to set up a special tribunal outside the country, to address war crimes committed in the 1990s.
According to Kosovo's President Atifete Jahjaga, a specialized court outside the country to look at cases against former Kosovo Liberation Army fighters would ensure an "independent and unbiased process".
Kosovo’s parliament should approve the establishment of a special court, located abroad, to try alleged war crimes and other grave crimes left over from the Kosovo conflict, Human Rights Watch has urged.
The closure of a memorial dedicated to Kosovo Liberation Army fighters in the village of Marina, in Skenderaj/Srbice, has sparked a heated debate amongst lawmakers who have accused institutions of neglecting the monument.
Ganimete Musliu, lawmaker from the ruling Kosovo Democratic Party, PDK, said the closure was “offensive for the martyrs’ families and the Kosovo state.
BELGRADE - Establishing a special court for war crimes committed by the self-styled Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) (an ethnic Albanian paramilitary formation) against Serbs and other non-Albanians in Kosovo-Metohija in 1998 and 1999 is a necessity, Serbia's deputy war crimes prosecutor Bruno Vekaric said on Wednesday.
Some MPs argued that only former Kosovo Liberation Army fighters should get state benefits, while others insisted that other guerrillas who fought in the 1998-99 war should also receive assistance.

Child at center of abuse case testifies

The 12-5-08 issue of The Week has an interesting news report, "Bioethics: Should the Mammoth Live Again?", detailing how scientists have just completed putting together the genome of the woolly mammoth, last seen on Earth around 8000 B.C. [except for a pigmy island subspecies that lasted a few thousand more years, into historic times.]
Thomas Jefferson thought the mammoth, known to him from bones alone, could not have really gone extinct and would probably be run across by Lewis and Clark. Sadly, they found no mammoths but scientists today could be planning to recreate this extinct species. The Week quotes biochemist S. Schuster: "It could be done. " It may take 10 or 20 years of research but it is within our grasp, but "should we do it?"
Well, it would be quite some scientific coup to pull off. In reality we don't seem to be able to preserve the whales and elephants we already have-- both of which are predicted to soon (within a century or so) become extinct due to our insistence on remaining capitalists and destroying the atmosphere and climate of the earth.
One writer thinks (tongue in cheek) we have a moral obligation to the mammoth since "our ancestors....hunted them to extinction in the first place." This was once a popular view but most scientists today think it was ancient climate change that did in the mammoths and the glacial ice age which was their environment.
We do have a moral obligation, however, to fight against the capitalist system whose relentless drive for profits, regardless of the human and environmental costs, will sooner or later, if not overthrown, put us on a par with the mammoth. Maybe we can broadcast our genome into outer space and hope some more advanced species will bring us back again. They will hopefully have more sense.

I used to love flying on airplanes. I used to look forward to it as part of the vacation. Our time in the hotel with the river pool and the extremely potent air conditioning, or the lobby through which flew wild parrots and the hotel room in which my brother got left behind when we all went out for breakfast, inevitably drew to a close. I always was able to console myself with the thought of the flight home. As in, “At least I still have the flight to look forward to.”
Now, let’s set aside the degradation in the quality of air travel since the days of wigwam socks, side-ponies, and Keds. Flying was something I looked forward to, not because it was so luxurious, but because I loved the journey. I saw it as a very special, integral part of the fun. I even loved airplane food. I had my first cheddar cheese omelet aboard Pan Am. I love cheese omelets! I loved how you had your own personal fold-down seat-back tray. It was so convenient and you didn’t have to share. (This would be something I might imagine my Uncle Richie would have appreciated. I never fully appreciated, and I give my sister credit for noticing, his childlike wonder at simple things, like the variety of jellies they give you for free in the little carrier on the table at the diner!)
Now all I want to do is microwave the journey. Zap and I’m there.
Subconsciously, maybe that’s why I fall asleep in the car, without exception. My carcolepsy is a symptom of my unwillingness to enjoy the trip? Sleeping makes it all go by faster?
I know I am supposed to enjoy the journey. Because most of life is going to be the journey. The destination is really just a temporary stop in between. Once you get there and look around a little, enjoy the scenery, go for a hike, and maybe take a pink jeep tour, you’re ready to set out on the next journey to the base camp two.
The question is: do I have it in me to sit and wait and receive and anticipate the very amazing things that are on their way. Can I be in the space that is not necessarily journey, but isn’t destination, either? This is faith: doing the next right thing and waiting, anticipating, expecting, welcoming, the great things that are on their way. This is hard!
In the past, I’d been willing do any and all variations on hard work to get what I want. I push, push, push, pull, pull, pull, work, work, work. I’d keep my head down until I got to the end, perhaps missing some landmarks along the way. And when I didn’t get what I wanted, it’d be a massive disappointment. It was challenging to see what I’d gained along the way. Operating with a higher level of faith – faith that what I desire is on its way – is a different sort of hard work. It’s the absence of the pushing, and grabbing, and screaming, and yelling “I want it!” It’s the sitting, and doing, and waiting, and expecting, and accepting the arrival of amazing things. I only have to do the next right thing, continue to expect the best, while remembering to look out the window, at the world below.

A healthcare administration degree doesn’t just open the door to rewarding career paths in the healthcare industry. You can also take your knowledge, skills, and experience into insurance, pharmaceuticals, government, and nonprofit organizations. You can do good work, making a difference, and earn well in a high demand field.
As with any education you acquire, a degree in healthcare administration provides you with valuable knowledge. The focus on healthcare administration means you learn important concepts that might help your future self run a department or a facility. Courses in business, management, accounting, finance, ethics, and healthcare delivery systems and laws give you an important foundation and set you up for success in your career.
With your healthcare administration degree, you can prepare for a career of service. Although you won’t provide direct patient care, you focus on ways to improve it. Within a healthcare organization, you can create guidelines for patient outcomes, collect and analyze data to track patients’ progress, advocate for patients when insurance won’t cover certain costs, and motivate your staff to improve the quality of the care they provide. Or maybe you can take your knowledge into public policy, helping to improve the overall healthcare system in the U.S. Or perhaps you’ll become a pharmaceutical administrator, working at a company trying to find the cure for cancer.
Demand for health administrators is expected to grow much faster than average through the decade, especially as the Baby Boomer population ages and requires more health services. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, there’s an employment gap of more than 56,000 in healthcare administration. Your degree can help fill that gap and set you a path for a long and fulfilling career.
Medical and health services managers earned a median salary of more than $100,000 in 2021, but the vertical you choose, the experience you bring to the job, and where you work, can all impact your salary. For example, healthcare administrators who work in hospitals earned a median salary of $119,450 while those who worked in nursing homes earned $83,550. And the median hospital administrator salary in the Boston area was nearly $300,000, while the median salary in Charleston, SC was $248,907.
Administrators are needed in all kinds of facilities including hospitals, long-term care facilities, outpatient care centers, and physician’s offices. But you may also work for insurance companies that rely on administrators with a deep understanding of the U.S. healthcare system. And public health administrations in state and federal governments need knowledgeable and passionate leaders who can make a difference.

Located in a beautiful region of Oahu it is an absolute must if travelling there.
I purchased the Paradise package (2nd tier - gave you a welcome nut lei, buffet and 2 complimentary drinks) and had a great view of the stage. The food was great and you got to go through the buffet first so didn't have to wait long at all!
There were activities to participate in before the main show started... you could weave your own crown, learn how to hula and even get yourself a henna tattoo! There was also traditional crafts available to purchase from local vendors.
Chief Sielu is fantastic and hilarious. Even had the audience participating in various dances and activities. The dancers and fire twirlers are amazing.
I would highly recommend this luau to anyone heading over to O'ahu!!

Five Health Benefits of Therapeutic Massage
Health issues such as stress and muscle ache have effect all of us, and a therapeutic massage may not be the very first thing that comes to mind as a method to cope with and alleviate the pain. The majority of us would rather take a painkiller and forget. It’s an indisputable fact that majority of medicines don’t take care of the root of the problem.
Particularly for ladies, a therapeutic massage can provide a number of advantages, mentally in addition to physically. Therapeutic massage can actually help and it really works, especially when carried out by a skilled masseur. Learn more as we discuss some wonderful reasons why a soothing therapeutic massage is a perfect solution to improving the mind, body and soul.
1. Can Help You Lose Weight.
The gentle, light strokes by a masseur allows the lymphatic system to release toxins from the body in an effective manner. This release of poisons has an impact on your body. Therapeutic massage also helps to increase blood circulation within the body. Additionally, massages are recognised to be great for individuals who are on the lookout for methods to tighten their loose skin after losing weight. However, keep in mind, for this it’s a must to stick to a healthy lifestyle in order to maintain your positive well-being.
2. Can reduces chronic pain.
A number of individuals suffer from shoulder, neck and backaches. A great therapeutic massage will help ease it in a holistic and non-invasive manner. Massages deliver aid via applied pressure, muscle relaxation, and improved blood circulation.
3. Can help relieve depression and stress.
It’s believed good therapeutic massage will help to alleviate stress and tension which are typically linked to depression. Therapeutic massage also boosts the release of endorphins, within the body therefore, therapeutic massage is a superb option as the release of endorphins uplifts your mood and creates a sense of well-being.
4. Can improve your sleep.
The kneading of muscle tissues helps to lower the tension within the body, thus offering an state of complete relaxation. As talked about earlier, massages assist in the release of endorphins within the body, which are known to have a positive effect on your sleep. Research has proven that therapeutic massage helps to boost and encourage deep sleep.
5. Can help boost your immune system.
A therapeutic massage could be your answer to illnesses that affect you often such as the common cold as research concludes that massages enhance lymphocytes, a type of white blood cells that prepares your immune system to fight illnesses. A strong immune system keeps you healthy and energetic.
So, we’ve now provided you with all of the reasons why therapeutic massage is good for you. So, treat your loved one or yourself with a relaxing and soothing therapeutic massage this weekend.

When do microsaccades follow spatial attention?
Following up on an exchange about the relation between microsaccades and spatial attention (Horowitz, Fencsik, Fine, Yurgenson, & Wolfe, 2007; Horowitz, Fine, Fencsik, Yurgenson, & Wolfe, 2007; Laubrock, Engbert, Rolfs, & Kliegl, 2007), we examine the effects of selection criteria and response modality. We show that for Posner cuing with saccadic responses, microsaccades go with attention in at least 75% of cases (almost 90% if probability matching is assumed) when they are first (or only) microsaccades in the cue-target interval and when they occur between 200 and 400 msec after the cue. The relation between spatial attention and the direction of microsaccades drops to chance level for unselected microsaccades collected during manual-response conditions. Analyses of data from four cross-modal cuing experiments demonstrate an above-chance, intermediate link for visual cues, but no systematic relation for auditory cues. Thus, the link between spatial attention and direction of microsaccades depends on the experimental condition and time of occurrence, but it can be very strong.

Here is my latest reading list
It was okay but I probably wouldn't recommend it.
1st things first, yes this is a Stephen King book but no, it is not scary.
This book has over 800 pages but is actually a fast read.
I am really liking it and can't put it down.
What have you been reading?
I would love some recommendations?


Thinking is defined as the ability to make sense, represent, model, or interpret the world a person experiences. Thinking also allows humans to make predictions in regards to their world. To an organism that has needs, desires, and objectives', thinking is helpful as it enables the organism to make plans in order to accomplish these goals. Using this definition we can see clearly that computers are not organism and, therefore cannot posses the ability to think. Computers have the capability to make predictions, but the predictions made by computers have been programmed by humans. Humans who required equipment that can assist in analyzing their thoughts and predictions developed programs to be used by computers. Without human intervention, the computers would not be able to model, represent, or interpret any information.
It is assumed by a majority of people that computers have the capability to think. This is because computers have the ability to perform tasks faster and even provide suggestions. The reality though is that computers do not have the capability to think. Computers are machines and like any other machine they rely on software programs developed to perform specific tasks. The programs are developed by engineers and using the fast processing speed of computers, it seems as though the computers are thinking. Making use of the fast processing speed of computers humans have managed to use computers to make predictions of weather changes, stock prices, and other predictions. Once this information is presented to the world, people assume that the computers were able all on their own to come up with the information. Computers do not have needs, desires, or objectives, therefore, computers cannot make plans for themselves in order to accomplish any goals. Human intervention is required to input data into the computer, and using the program in the computer information can be derived. Computers provide assistance to humans.
Thoughts are the result of thinking in the form of ideas or arrangement of ideas. There is no general agreement of how thoughts are formed. If computers could think then they would be formulating ideas on how to improve in something the computer is processing. Thinking requires the computer to analyze a situation and make recommendations based on its analysis. This is something that computers do all on their own, but the data required for this analysis has to be provided by humans. The lack of human intervention would mean that computers cannot make any analysis. This clearly shows that a computer is just a machine, and like any other machine it requires human input in order for the machine to perform its activities.
A computer developed to control traffic cannot be used to perform any other activity without first having to change its program. If this computer had the ability to think there would be no need to change its program as it would adapt to the new situation. Thinking would allow the computer to know that it is no longer controlling traffic, and it would analyze its new environment to formulate ideas on how to tackle its work or task. The programs developed for computers have a set of rules that the computer has to follow and obey. The rules have to be obeyed in a specified sequence for the computer to achieve its function. The programs allow computers to perform logic and produce results.
Intelligence can be defined in many ways as abstract thought, self-awareness, logic, understanding, learning, communication, problem solving, planning, retaining, and having emotional knowledge. Computers have the capacity to communicate, retain, solve problems, and perform logic. They lack the essential capability of emotional knowledge, self-awareness, abstract thought, and planning. This indicates that computers can only simulate human thinking, but they cannot actually think on their own. Artificial intelligence is based on simulations developed by programmers and engineers, which mostly simulate desired behavior. Desired behavior makes the computer to perform activities based on the engineers' perception of human behavior. Using artificial intelligence people have been misled to believe that computers can actually think.
Computers do not have a mind even with artificial intelligence computers still do not have the reasoning capability of humans. This limits the reaction of computers to various situations. Intelligence is required for the computer to perform a task while taking into account all compelling circumstances. Scientists have long argued if it is possible to use artificial intelligence to create a human computer. This argument is far from over because some scientists have always said that the programs to be used by the human computer are all syntax and have no semantics. This means that a computer is not able to achieve any thought as it merely follows the rules telling it how to shift symbols. The computer does not need to understand the meaning of these symbols. On the other side, the scientists have pointed to the fact humans have to be taught how to perform various activities, which is why they go to school and college. Using this analogy the scientists have stated that computers can learn to think eventually. This is still very theoretical as it has not been proven.
Artificial intelligence gives a computer human like characteristics, but it does not actually clone a human being. The characteristics or behaviors the computer will have are based on its desired tasks. A computer can be developed to only perform a specific function, therefore, using artificial intelligence the computer will only have characteristics for performing this particular functions. Adding more functions will mostly result in errors as the computer would not be able to differentiate the various situations. This limits the capabilities of artificial intelligence. Even with the advanced processing capabilities of computers nowadays, mimicking human behavior is still difficult mainly because computers do not have the intelligence and thinking ability of humans. Humans are developing these computers trying to demonstrate that one can make a human computer, but they forget that the human mind is a very powerful tool, and it has not been fully understood.
Computers will not have the capacity to think until scientist can successfully develop a brain, that is able to process different emotions, build on its experiences and adapt to challenges. Artificial intelligence also denies computers the ability to build on their own experiences. Instead, computers are given processing power that allows them to process information at super speeds. This speedy processing of information is not based on past experiences, but rather from the program installed. Engineers developing computers that can think should focus on how the computer can use the information gathered for future use. This would not mean that the computer is thinking, but it would be able to mimic thinking behavior.
Informality of behavior
Humans have the ability to adapt to different situations. This has made it hard for anyone to develop a set of rules that humans should follow. Humans use their intelligence, thinking, and conscious to determine the best way of handling any single situation. What this means is that two humans cannot have the same result for the same situations. This is because each person has a unique of interpreting the situation. Computers on the other hand, would have specific programs, which have set of rules informing the computer what to do in each situation. This would mean that two computers would most likely produce the same exact result when presented with the same situation. This fully demonstrates that computers cannot think. If they could think the results would have demonstrated different. The lack of consciousness limits computers to only follow and obey rules of the programmer.
Thinking allows humans to have different assumptions and ideas in regards to the same situation. Computers cannot have different assumptions as they would present information based on the input…

From 14:35 to 15:03 Nifty may rise but only Ganesha can tell the extent of the rise.
From 15:03 to 15:30 Nifty may suddenly drift downwards.
With Ganesha’s Grace,


He’s a relieved man today. The debt ceiling will be abolished. He has been given the breathing space he needs. But, deep down, Joe Hockey knows the problem hasn’t gone away; getting rid of the debt ceiling won’t get rid of the debt. In fact, the Greens may have added to his woes. Each quarterly budget update will now, by agreement, bring the national debt to the forefront of parliamentary and press gallery scrutiny. And, as the debt keeps rising, the sweat on Joe’s brow will intensify. Joe Hockey thinks he’s won a small scrap here, and he has, but it is minor when compared with what’s coming. Christine Milne has placed climate change and the Coalition’s ‘Direct Action’ policy right in the firing line by forcing the quarterly budget updates to include reporting on monies spent on climate change initiatives, i.e. Direct Action. It sounds like she doesn’t believe it will ever happen. And I’m inclined to agree. She says, “Direct Action doesn’t exist, it has no shape, it’s not an alternative to what we have in place,” she said and added, “It is not a plan, it’s basically an idea and that is all.”
But that is not all that’s happened.
The debt ceiling event in the early life of the new government has firmly embedded one crucial economic fact in the mind of the electorate: that the national debt, prior to the Coalition coming to power, was less than $300 billion. This will be important when the voters come to judge the economic credibility of the new government in 2016 when the national debt will be in excess of $400 billion. They will have an undeniable reference point. Normally your average voter hasn’t a clue how much the nation owes when they go to vote. This time, however, they will remember that figure.
The debt ceiling deal has also revealed the hypocrisy of earlier statements by the Prime Minister, Tony Abbott when in opposition. “No real friend of the workers of Australia would want to do a deal with the Greens. We can never build a better future by doing cheap and tawdry deals with the Greens”, he said in August.
Well, now it appears, we can.
So, just four months into the new government, an interesting scenario has developed. Joe Hockey is on the record as saying Labor will never produce a surplus. That opportunistic call will most certainly come back to bite him. It is entirely conceivable that Joe and his government won’t deliver a budget surplus either; possible for ten years, should it still be in government. But, the bigger issue will be the likelihood of a recession and the resulting unemployment.
Australia has had a stunning run of good economic fortune resulting in 22 years of uninterrupted growth since the last recession in 1991. It has been brought about for two reasons. It was the Keating economic reforms of the 1980′s and 90′s coupled with the mining boom of the first decade of this century that have made us the envy of the world. The first was a master stroke of forward planning and pragmatism, the second was the rise of China as an economic power and our capacity to be ready for it. In reality, China was just a stroke of good luck. We were in the right place at the right time. But it is pretty clear the good days are over now. Unless we suddenly experience a resurgence in manufacturing or another country’s industrial expansion creates a shortage of ‘stuff’ we have in the ground, there’s not much else that we have to offer to avoid dark days ahead.
The previous Labor government saw this coming. Revenue from the mining boom was in decline. Treasurer Wayne Swan tried to cut back on some of the Howard/Costello excesses, including the $300 private health subsidy. The then Opposition would not support that. Perhaps now, Joe Hockey wishes they had. To his credit Joe has moved to end some of the Howard/Costello vote buying excesses, but they won’t amount to much. Christopher Pine tried to contribute by flip flopping on the Gonski education reforms only to make himself and Tony Abbott look stupid. Cory Bernardi wants to cut funding to the ABC and Scott Morrison is finding new ways to persecute asylum seekers but as yet is not offering any cost savings. In the meantime we waste billions trying to keep asylum seekers from coming to our shores when economic pragmatism says managing the problem on our own shores is the better option.
The danger facing Joe Hockey now is that the government might inadvertently hasten those dark days by a savage reduction in spending without a corresponding increase in private investment from overseas. Their obsession with debt and deficit and the fear of being seen as the very architects of the economic vandalism they attribute to Labor, could result in a premature recession of their own doing. When you combine this with the closure of Ford, the likely closure of Holden, and the parlous position of Qantas, the small manufacturing businesses that these giant employers support are the ones that will take the hit. These small industries are the home of Howard’s battlers, the very people who kept the Coalition in power for 11 years. If Holden stays, it will, most likely, be as an importer, similar to Nissan. Ross Gittins in the Melbourne Sunday Age (Sun. Dec. 8) says “Hockey is right when he says retail sales, building approvals, business and consumer confidence – have improved since September. And it’s reasonable to hope this will lead to a modest improvement in consumption, home building, business investment and other aspects of the non-mining economy.”
Well, Ross might reasonably be ‘whistling dixie’ on that last suggestion but he goes on to say, “But we know there will be big falls in mining investment, which could offset most of the gain. There’s not a lot Hockey can do about that between now and then. Even infrastructure spending takes a long time to get going.”
Leaders today get elected on the basis of three-word slogans; they become the people’s choice for the time being. They use catchy little phrases to attract ignorant voters. They borrow most of them from past, equally unimpressive, leaders and have nothing original to contribute. But, we anoint them as our Prime Minister until their weaknesses surface and we look to someone else. Few can show the courage and conviction of a Paul Keating when they know what is needed, even if it costs them government. Few have sufficient intellect for that and those that do, like Keating, are generally despised for it. John Stuart Mill once wrote that not all conservatives are stupid, but most people who are stupid are conservative. That is probably because they are afraid of what they don’t know. They seek guidance at every turn and accept the time honoured practices and formulae of the past; they view such a strategy as safe. In short, they don’t know any better and don’t want to. They just want to be reassured. Conservative politicians are good at offering policies of reassurance. But that is not going to work in the present and near future economic environment.
The challenges of the near future require something of the Paul Keating brand of courage. Joe Hockey has not shown us yet, that he is up to the challenge, but if he is, he will have to cast off the conservative Coalition mindset and risk being very unpopular. His decision to block the sale of GrainCorp on the grounds that it would have been very unpopular shows that he is, thus far, not willing to do this.
John Kelly is 68, retired and lives in Melbourne. He holds a Bachelor of Communications degree majoring in Journalism and Media Relations. He is the author of four novels and one autobiography. He writes regularly on his own blog site, covering a variety of social, religious and political issues.
