MELISSA BLOCK, HOST:
This is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED from NPR News. I'm Melissa Block.
AUDIE CORNISH, HOST:
And I'm Audie Cornish.
The Syrian uprising began with young people, rebellious teenagers who, more than a year ago, scrawled anti-regime graffiti on a wall in the southern city of Deraa. The protest against their arrest, and the regime's brutal response sparked the wider revolt.
NPR's Deborah Amos is just back from a reporting trip to Damascus. And she says the younger generation is at the forefront of the uprising.
DEBORAH AMOS, BYLINE: In a cafe in the heart of Damascus, a young man flips open his cell phone to show pictures of people killed in the uprising.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN: Actually, they are my friends.
AMOS: It's a risky thing to do. And if he's arrested, the pictures will be a tip off that he's against the government. But he says he doesn't care.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN: If someone from the government comes to me and said, why you put these pictures? I will tell him, take me and kill me. I'm not afraid to have these pictures on my cell phone.
AMOS: He's 26, won't give his name but his bluster is something you hear often now from young Syrians, rarely from the older generation. And there is a reason for their fear, he says.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN: The elders - Christian, Muslims - they afraid because the more you are older, the more you live under the umbrella of this regime - you fear it more.
AMOS: There is a generation gap in Syria, says Abdul Aziz Kheyer, a veteran of the opposition movement who was jailed for years for speaking out.
DR. ABDUL AZIZ KHEYER: They were a generation who are brought up under the rule of silence. They are used not to express themselves and to repeat what is allowed to say.
AMOS: Young activists say directly what they want and how they feel, which has been a shock for the regime, says Kheyer, and for their parents; especially now that the uprising has spread even to the capital's wealthier neighborhoods.
KHEYER: They were active behind their father's back, because they don't want to annoy him or to make him feel afraid. And many fathers were shocked when they hear that their daughter or their son is arrested.
AMOS: But after 15 months, these young activists have transformed the country. The older generation looks to them for guidance.
KHEYER: The young generation now plays the role of the consultant, not only in technology but in politics as well. Is this OK or not? Is this dangerous or not?
(SOUNDBITE OF MUSIC)
AMOS: In a Christian neighborhood in the capital, this 17-year-old high school student, who wouldn't give her name, says her parents now openly support the revolt. She was the first in her family on Facebook to express her political views. And now, she helps her mom.
Did she ask for your help to be on Facebook?
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN: Yes, other day.
AMOS: Have you been to a demonstration?
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN: Yes.
AMOS: Does your mom know?
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN: Nope.
(SOUNDBITE OF CHANTING PROTESTORS)
AMOS: They are fearless, taking incredible risks. The chant: Traitor, traitor, the Syrian army is a traitor. On Facebook pages, there are even jokes about the dangers activists face every time they protest. One goes: Only in Syria, to get to heaven, just cross the street.
Even as violence escalates, the creative voices are still the strongest, says Ammar Alani, a musician turned activist.
AMMAR ALANI: They are communicating, organizing, and it's all virtual. But it's working. They have their opinion and they are debating it. It's millions of young people just being connected and active.
AMOS: And you can't turn it off?
ALANI: You can't. You have to kill them all. They are trying, though.
ALANI: I don't think it will work.
AMOS: In Damascus, activists are looking beyond protest and war, working out what it means to be a citizen and what kind of Syria they want when the war is over.

LONDON, April 18. /TASS/. UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson claimed that he did not violate Covid-related restrictions in 2020 despite the fine he paid, the Times reported Sunday citing its source.
According to the report, Johnson will try to minimize the consequences of the scandal around the parties at Downing Street held at the peak of the first waves of the pandemic in his speech at the House Monday. He also plans to touch upon the new fines that the police imposed on him, his spouse Carrie and Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak over the 2020 parties, the source said.
According to the source, the Prime Minister will attempt to present his action as giving speeches, i.e. doing his job.
On Tuesday, London Police fined Boris and Carrie Johnson and Chancellor Sunak for violation of Covid-related restrictions by visiting parties in government institutions during the first waves of the pandemic. Later, the Prime Minister said he paid the fine and apologized, but refused to resign.
Overall, over 50 fines were issues over parties in Johnson’s residence and other government buildings during strict restrictive measures that barred people from gathering in large companies. Leaders of the Labor Party, Scottish National Party and the Liberal Democrats called on Johnson to resign.

Many investors define successful investing as beating the market average over the long term. But if you try your hand at stock picking, your risk returning less than the market. Unfortunately, that's been the case for longer term New Era Minerals Inc. (CVE:NEM) shareholders, since the share price is down 40% in the last three years, falling well short of the market return of around 22%. And more recent buyers are having a tough time too, with a drop of 40% in the last year. The good news is that the stock is up 29% in the last week.
Want to participate in a short research study? Help shape the future of investing tools and you could win a $250 gift card!
New Era Minerals hasn't yet reported any revenue yet, so it's as much a business idea as an actual business. You have to wonder why venture capitalists aren't funding it. As a result, we think it's unlikely shareholders are paying much attention to current revenue, but rather speculating on growth in the years to come. It seems likely some shareholders believe that New Era Minerals will find or develop a valuable new mine before too long.
Companies that lack both meaningful revenue and profits are usually considered high risk. There is almost always a chance they will need to raise more capital, and their progress - and share price - will dictate how dilutive that is to current holders. While some such companies do very well over the long term, others become hyped up by promoters before eventually falling back down to earth, and going bankrupt (or being recapitalized).
New Era Minerals had liabilities exceeding cash by CA$1,335,312 when it last reported in December 2018, according to our data. That makes it extremely high risk, in our view. But since the share price has dived -16% per year, over 3 years, it looks like some investors think it's time to abandon ship, so to speak. You can see in the image below, how New Era Minerals's cash levels have changed over time (click to see the values).
In reality it's hard to have much certainty when valuing a business that has neither revenue or profit. Given that situation, would you be concerned if it turned out insiders were relentlessly selling stock? It would bother me, that's for sure. It costs nothing but a moment of your time to see if we are picking up on any insider selling.
A Different Perspective
Over the last year, New Era Minerals shareholders took a loss of 40%. In contrast the market gained about 1.6%. However, keep in mind that even the best stocks will sometimes underperform the market over a twelve month period. Shareholders have lost 16% per year over the last three years, so the share price drop has become steeper, over the last year; a potential symptom of as yet unsolved challenges. Although Warren Buffett famously said he likes to 'buy when there is blood on the streets', he also focusses on high quality stocks with solid prospects. Before deciding if you like the current share price, check how New Era Minerals scores on these 3 valuation metrics.
Of course New Era Minerals may not be the best stock to buy. So you may wish to see this free collection of growth stocks.

Another Super Bowl is in the books. By next fall, who the Baltimore Ravens beat will be a trivia question that most people will struggle to answer, so let me ask you…Has the Super Bowl Jumped the Shark?
Not the game, but all the stuff that goes with it…
Disappointing Halftime Shows
From Janet Jackson’s wardrobe malfunction" to the various aging, should-be-retired saggy rockers who have growled through the halftime show, there's no question that the once-great spectacle has gotten tired and played out. The choices for halftime entertainment after the wardrobe malfunction have led us down this path of boredom.
The commercials are supposed to be so great every year, but are they really? How many years has it been scense we had really good commercials. How many prime spots from last year can you recall remember?
Two Weeks of too much Hype
It used to be that the Super Bowl was one week after the conference championship games. With two weeks in between games, providing us with plenty of time to hear the same tired storylines played out over and over again. Enough about the Harbaugh Brothers and Ray Lewis!
It may be time to mix it up….otherwise The DVR will be used for all the excess crap!
January 29, 2013, 1:02 pm
Do you suppose Jim and John Harbaugh “played” Superbowl in their back yard, growing up in the home of Jack and Jackie Harbaugh? No not playing coaches but throwing touchdown passes to each other to win the game. Who hasn’t done that? But imagine how strange it would be to look across the field and see your brother…or even stranger to be their parents knowing one of your kids will be very disappointed Sunday night. Brothers has to be one of the biggest stories of Super Bowl 47. Let’s just hope that at the end of the game, Mom doesn’t have to consol one crying brother because the other one was to mean.

ANKARA, Turkey – Turkey's state-run news agency says Turkey has delivered two plane-loads of military aid to Iraq.
The Anadolu Agency says two C-130 military cargo planes carrying the equipment landed at an air base near Baghdad on Tuesday. It did not give any detail on the supplies.
The delivery comes a day before Turkish Defense Minister Ismet Yilmaz is scheduled to visit Baghdad to discuss the fight against the Islamic State group.
Last month, Turkey and the United States signed a deal to train and arm Syrian rebels fighting the militants. Turkey is already training Kurdish fighters in northern Iraq.
Turkish ambassador Faruk Kaymaz said on Twitter: "Turkey stands by Iraq in the fight against (Islamic State militants) and continues to provide military assistance to Iraqi forces in Baghdad."

Advantages of Geothermal Energy
When compared to solar, biomass or wind, geothermal energy has proven to be much beneficial. Geothermal energy can be naturally refilled, which means it does not deplete like other energy forms. Some researchers have said that the energy in the geothermal reservoirs can last for billion years. It is a constant source of energy as it is not dependent on
sun or wind and is always available for use. Fossil fuels getting drained, geothermal energy is certainly not going to exhaust anytime soon.
Stable Pricing and Maintenance
Conventional power plants rely on fuels in order to generate electricity hence the costs keep rising and falling depending on the cost of fuel. However, geothermal energy does not need fuel hence the price remains constant. Geothermal systems only have few movable parts which are sheltered inside a building; hence the durability and sustainability of
geothermal plants is higher than that of conventional energy. The heat pump pipes can usually last up to 50 years.
Over the years there has been a significant growth in the utilization of geothermal energy in homes. One evident reason for this is its energy saving feature. A 30-60% savings on heating and 25-50% savings on cooling is observed. Also, the entire geothermal system is wired underground which eliminates the discomfort created by noisy heating and cooling systems.
Geothermal energy gives back an equal amount of water to the area where the heat extraction is happens however it is at a lower temperature which makes this form of energy extremely sustainable and renewable. With the depletion of fossil fuels and increasing demand of energy in industries and households, geothermal energy will gain a wider utility. As geothermal energy has minimal land and freshwater requirements, it has a wider scope in the present and future of the environment.
Geothermal Energy is used in many countries in the world, US being the largest producer of it. A significant usage is also observed in Iceland, New Zealand, Kenya, Philippines and many more. Since geothermal does not depend on weather and climatic conditions, many countries are open to investing into geothermal plants in order to save for the future. It might be a great investment today however it sure has its benefits that will be reaped by the generations to come. Geothermal energy must have not been a much talked about subject, but it has made a huge difference in the conventional methods of energy production. If we understand the benefits of geothermal energy today we can make it work wonders for our environment today as well as tomorrow.

When you are looking for that perfect blend of spices for your BBQ or smoker, it’s wise to know the difference between an all-purpose rub and a BBQ rub. You can use a combination of these rubs together, but if you want to fully capitalize on each flavor and the benefits of each spice, it is best to use them separately.
An all-purpose rub is a mixture of salt and pepper with a few other spices, while a BBQ rub is a more complex blend of more spices. Both will assist in enhancing the natural flavors of your food, but they are not interchangeable.
An all-purpose rub is used as a base layer before adding other rubs or sauces. It enhances the natural flavors of the meat without overpowering them. The key to the all-purpose rub is simplicity and versatility. A basic combination is salt and pepper plus garlic powder or onion powder. You can also add in other seasonings such as chili powder or paprika. A little bit goes a long way, so only use about 1 teaspoon per pound of meat when using this type of seasoning.
A BBQ rub has a strong flavor profile that works well for most meats whether you are grilling, smoking or even ro
All-purpose rubs can be used on all types of meat, poultry or fish. These seasonings are also used for vegetables, and even fruit! An all-purpose rub is usually less spicy and more mild than a BBQ rub. It’s a good idea to have an all-purpose rub in your pantry at all times.
BBQ rubs have more heat and spice than an all-purpose rub. They will compliment the flavors of the meat you’re cooking on the grill. Use a BBQ rub on beef, pork or chicken while grilling or smoking. You can use this type of seasoning inside or outside depending on the style of meat you’re cooking.
We recommend using an all-purpose rub for indoor cooking including roasting, braising and sautéing meats. Indoor cooking does not require as much spice as outdoor grilling and smoking does.
There are a lot of different options when it comes to seasoning. A spice rub is a mixture of spices and herbs that can be applied to raw food and then cooked. Rubs are often applied to meat, fish, or poultry before grilling or roasting.
Rubs usually consist of salt, pepper, and spices. They should be dry and fine in texture, not wet and pasty. Wet rubs are typically used in conjunction with a dry rub to give the meat more flavor. Salt is not only essential for flavor but also acts as a brine and helps the meat retain moisture during cooking. The pepper adds another layer of spiciness along with the seasonings.
There are many different types of rubs including all-purpose, bbq, spicy, sweet, etc… The best part about creating your own rub is that you can adjust it to your liking based on what you enjoy eating the most!
All-purpose rubs are usually used on steaks and other cuts of beef while BBQ Rubs have more sugar in them which makes them perfect for ribs and other meats that need some sweetness added to them before they’re cooked over low heat at long periods of time so that they’ll come out tender.”
You want your all-purpose seasoning to be a great, well balanced seasoning that can be used on all foods. It may not have any heat but it should have some color and a very clean taste. The all-purpose rub is a spice blend that will compliment virtually anything you cook.
A BBQ rub is a lot different than an all-purpose seasoning. A BBQ rub should complement the meat you are cooking and the type of cooking method you are using. You don’t necessarily have to have multiple types of BBQ seasoning but it helps to have at least two or three in your collection as they are certainly not interchangeable.
BBQ rubs intended for smoking meats should include sugar or other carbs to help create a nice bark during the long cooking process. A thinner more wet sauce is also needed to help keep meats moist during the many hours of cooking. Brisket, Pork Shoulder, Pork Ribs, etc. are great cuts of meat for slow smoking with these type of seasonings.
A BBQ Rub for grilling steaks, chicken and seafood should be more of a dry rub with little sugar if any at all since these will only be cooked for a short period of time and sugar can easily burn on the grill
All-purpose rubs are, as their name implies, good for anything. But they aren’t necessarily great for any one thing. BBQ Rubs, on the other hand, will be great for anything you grill or smoke. The secret is in the sugar.
The sugar in BBQ rubs will caramelize and form a sticky crust on your meat while it is cooking. This adds both flavor and texture to your food. If you are grilling steaks or chicken this may not be desirable. However, if you are slow-cooking ribs or brisket this will become a critical part of the finished product.
All-purpose rubs are still a great tool to have in your arsenal and can be used for many things including: seasoning vegetables, marinades, sauces, soups and more!
There are basically two different types of BBQ rubs – all-purpose and competition. An all-purpose rub is a mixture of spices that you use with your favorite type of barbecue seasoning to season beef, chicken, pork, or fish prior to grilling or smoking. A competition rub is a mixture of spices that you use as a dry marinade on ribs, brisket and other cuts of meat when competing in a barbecue contest.
If you’re cooking for a crowd or just for the family, an all-purpose rub is your best bet. An all-purpose rub can be applied about ten minutes before cooking. If you’re smoking or slow cooking, you can apply it about an hour before cooking to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat; this will give you tender and juicy barbecued ribs or brisket. You may need to experiment with a few recipes until you find the one that suits your taste buds.
Competition rubs are used by individuals who compete in sanctioned BBQ contests throughout the United States and Canada. These types of rubs are applied directly to meat and left on the meat for several hours or overnight (dry marinade). These rubs have to be strong enough and flavorful enough so that they stand up against

Johannesburg - Gold Fields could experience an adverse credit rating adjustment if an investigation by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) into the potential irregularities of its black economic empowerment (BEE) transaction resulted in sanctions or imposition of penalties on the company, rating agency Moody’s Investors Service said on Friday.
Last Tuesday the mining group issued a statement acknowledging the SEC investigation of its BEE transaction relating to the granting of the mining licence for its South Deep operation, southwest of Johannesburg.
Gold Fields completed a R2.1 billion BEE deal in 2010 in which 10 percent of Newshelf 899 – its subsidiary that owns 100 percent of the South Deep gold mine – was sold to outside BEE shareholders.
Mail & Guardian reports last week pointed to ANC chairwoman Baleka Mbete as the beneficiary of this deal, which was central to the granting of a mining licence for the mine.
The mine’s total mining right area is 4 268ha.
Business Report’s sister publication, Saturday Star, reported that Agang SA leader Mamphela Ramphele confirmed that she was expecting to testify during the investigation as she chaired the board of Gold Fields before entering politics.
Moody’s said that at this early stage of the investigation, there would be no impact on Gold Fields’ Ba1 credit rating with a negative outlook as there was limited information for the agency to estimate reliably its potential outcome.
But it expected the SEC probe to trigger further investigations by South African authorities. Moody’s added that it could also affect Gold Fields’ agreement to acquire the Yilgarn South gold mine assets in Australia from Canadian group Barrick, which the JSE-listed company announced recently.
Gold Fields had an option to settle half of the $300 million (R3 billion) price in shares.
“A negative outcome would likely lower Gold Fields’ share price and could prompt the company to turn to its cash resources to fund the entire transaction, which would negatively impact its leverage metrics and liquidity,” Moody’s said in a statement.
A further challenge for Gold Fields is the fact that its share price has been on a constant decline in the past year. It has shrunk by nearly 48 percent over this period and the company’s market capitalisation now stands at R35.16bn.
Strikes in the local gold sector have not helped the share price to stabilise.
In the quarter to June, the company swung to a quarterly loss of $129m compared with earnings of $27m in the three months to March and $105m in the quarter to June last year .
Apart from the credit metrics and liquidity implications, Moody’s said a negative outcome would call into question the reliability of Gold Fields’ internal corporate governance controls and procedures.
Gold Fields slid 1.52 percent to R47.40 on Friday. The gold mining index fell 2.45 percent. - Business Report


NYSERDA Seeks Consultants for NY Offshore Wind Master Plan
The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) is seeking to expand its pool of expert consultants to help develop the Offshore Wind Master Plan.
NYSERDA intends to select expert technical consultants through a competitive process for three-year contracts worth a total of up to $1.5 million with an option to extend for an additional two years. Funding is through the Clean Energy Fund, a core component of Governor Cuomo’s Reforming the Energy Vision strategy to build a clean, resilient and affordable energy system for all New Yorkers.
The consultants would provide support in project development and permitting assistance, site selection and desktop development studies, and assistance in more fully understanding the issues and opportunities around grid interconnection of offshore wind energy. They would also help NYSERDA with stakeholder engagement and supply chain/workforce development.
Furthermore, the selected consultants would analyse offshore wind cost, as well as options for economic arrangements to support energy offtake agreements for offshore wind projects that optimise the value to ratepayers.
Consultants can apply for consideration in one or more categories. Proposals are due by January 12, 2017.
“Offshore wind is crucial to meeting New York’s ambitious energy and clean energy job goals under Governor Cuomo’s leadership,” said John B. Rhodes, President and CEO, NYSERDA. “NYSERDA is looking to engage the very best thinking and expertise from the most experienced and knowledgeable experts, as we advance our strategy to responsibly develop this vital energy resource.”
NYSERDA is the lead entity coordinating the Master Plan, which will be a comprehensive strategy for developing New York’s offshore wind resources, and will include recommendations on the best ways to maximise the development and usage of offshore wind for the State.
The Master Plan, to be released in 2017 will identify offshore wind sites and will set targets for capacity and commercial operations dates at each site.

Discussion in 'Deer Hunting' started by Airpusher, Jan 22, 2014.
I was looking at a Savage Hog Hunter in .308. Anybody have any experience with this rifle?
A friend of mine has the hog hunter and loves it.
I went to three stores in Gainesville today looking for the elusive Hog Hunter.
No one had them in stock or were getting them in stock. But, while at the third store, I fell in love with a TC Venture in .308, and it followed me home. I think I will like it better.
Congrats! GaGun not have one? I saw one there not long ago.
First place I looked, they weren't sure if they were backordered or not.
Excellent gun very reasonably priced , needs minimal care. I put a Muzzle Break on mine with the threaded Heavy Barell in .308 and it helped a lot. The rifle out of the box is Very light and does have a pretty good kick but is also very accurate and a great shooter. you'll love it! Here is mine
nice looking rifle.
Not sure if you are still looking, but I just converted an Enfield Mk 4 to a deer rifle and sighted it in. It is no tack driver, but it put 5 shots inside a 3 inch circle at about 85 yards. Four of the shots were inside two inches. I can't wait for the season to start next month.


Hamish & Andy’s comedy podcast celebrates major milestone
The popular comedy podcast from Hamish Blake and Andy Lee just hit a new milestone.
The former top-rating radio duo clock 100 episodes of their Hamish & Andy podcast today.
Since ending up their Drive show on the Hit Network, Hamish & Andy’s podcast has consistently topped lists of the most-listened-to podcasts in Australia.
Blake and Lee have been consistent regulars at the top of Commercial Radio Australia’s monthly Podcast Ranker since October 2019 and across Apple and Spotify.
“While we’ve always said we’d save the fireworks show for the millionth episode, it’s nice to be on the way!” they said in a joint statement.
“It is great to see Hamish & Andy maintain their spot as Australia’s number one comedy podcast and to celebrate 100 episodes,” SCA podcasting boss Grant Tothill said.
“They really are the benchmark when it comes to how they approach their podcast series.
“For those that haven’t listened, now’s the time. Start at episode one and listen all the way through to the 100th episode.”

A Lithuanian man has been sentenced to 20 years imprisonment for attempted murder and two counts of rape.
Arturas Ardavicius (26) of Bonchurch Street, Leicester, was convicted at Leicester Crown Court in January after after a nine-day trial. Today he was sentenced to 20 years imprisonment and put on the sex offenders’ register.
During the trial, the jury heard that at about 3.30am on Saturday, July 7, last year, a woman in her 30s was sexually assaulted in a car in Richard III Road, close to St Nicholas Circle.
The victim did not know her attacker but had spent time with him just prior to the incident.
The victim managed to get out of the car and alert a member of the public.
A red hatchback was seen in the area and officers released CCTV images of the vehicle along with an appeal for witnesses.
Detective Constable Nikki McLatchie, the investigating officer from the Signal Team, said: “This is a good result and should send a positive message to other victims of sexual assault.
“Leicestershire Police takes all allegations of sexual assault seriously and we always investigate them thoroughly.
“This was a horrific assault and a very difficult and complex investigation and the victim showed commendable bravery.”

There is no getting away from the fact people have been looking to sell their home quickly of late. The impending stamp duty holiday deadline has motivated many buyers to move quickly.
We’ve seen this for ourselves in Camberwell, and we are pleased to say we have helped local buyers and vendors to move. This isn’t just a local thing though; it has happened across the country.
GetAgent have looked at Land Registry figures and information from a range of property portals. They have pulled information together that shows how the time taken to sell homes increased in 2020 compared to 2019.
Average time to sell property has risen
Across the country, for January to late November, the average time to sell property increased by 12 days.
The area which experienced the longest delays are the West Midlands, with an increase of 17 days. The East Midlands experienced an increase of 14 days while Yorkshire and the Humber experienced an increase of 15 days.
The South West of England has been relatively unchanged so far, with the average time to sell homes increasing by just one day.
There is a lot at stake with property transactions
There was a massive increase in the City of London, with the average time taken to sell property rising from 197 days in 2019 to 314 days in 2020. This is close to a year, a length of time that would be unacceptable for most people.
Other areas which featured in the Top 20 in creases include Preston, Torbay, West Berkshire, North East Lincolnshire, North Warwickshire, Salford, Manchester and Tower Hamlets.
This suggests that locations all across the country were affected, so it is not as if there was a regional impact; it was general.
Colby Short, Founder and CEO of GetAgent.co.uk, commented: “Negative news on the face of it but given the turbulent year we’ve experienced, the time to sell a home was always likely to increase on last year. Lockdown restrictions stopped the market in its tracks during the spring which would have delayed pretty much every sale already in the pipeline. We’ve also seen many cogs of the selling process hit with furloughs and redundancies which have reduced their operational capacity and hindered their ability to process transactions at the same speed.”
Colby Short also said; “Finally, despite the market returning back to health at a rapid rate, huge levels of buyer demand have overwhelmed the industry and led to even further delays, mostly at the final legal hurdle of a sale. So the chances are, the time to sell may well continue to climb until the market levels outcome March next year, but the good news is, transactions are up, prices are climbing and the market is fighting fit for the year ahead.”
If you are looking for guidance or information regarding the housing market, please get in touch with Hunters Camberwell. As a local estate agent who has the support of a national network, we are ideally placed to provide you with all the help and guidance you need to make an informed decision, so please contact us today.

EXCLUSIVE | Consumers fork out millions as Return and Earn saga continues
Exclusive figures reveal NSW consumers are paying millions for the botched Return and Earn scheme.
New numbers reveal a monumental gap between the extra tax we’re paying on bottled drinks and the amount being returned at the sites.
Since Return and Earn was rolled out across the state in December, consumers have been hit with $156 million in extra costs.
The machines have only refunded $18 million.
NSW Shadow Environment Minister Penny Sharpe tells Ben Fordham it was a disaster from the beginning.
“It’s been botched from day one.
“We’re supposed to have 800 of the reverse vending machines, there’s around 500.”
She says the public isn’t happy and she can understand why.
For every dollar we get back at the machines, we’re forking out an additional $8 in increased drink costs.
“They all know they’re paying more but they’re still struggling to be able to get their money back,” the shadow minister says.
“We’re paying more but it’s too hard to return our money.”

The man whose former employer allegedly dumped a load of oily pennies in his driveway as his final pay now has the cold hard cash, not piles of change.
Coinstar, the company that provides coin counting machines in retail locations across the country, helped to process the 91,000 dirty coins left for Andreas Flaten, the company said in a news release.
The company picked up the wheelbarrow load of coins, and exchanged the $915 that was left, and then rounded out the amount to an even $1000.
Coinstar said it processes about 41 billion coins each year, so the 91,000 pennies “was all in a day’s work.”
Flaten had been spending each night cleaning off whatever was dumped on the coins so he would eventually be able to cash them in, The Associated Press reported last month.
Flaten’s former boss was asked about the pile of pennies but claimed he didn’t remember and said the only thing that mattered was that his former employee got paid, the AP reported.
A doorbell video shows a man dropping off he money whom Flaten believes is a current employee at his former company, who says, “Hey, your money is at the end of the driveway, bud,” The New York Times reported.
Flaten’s final payment is legal, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. A spokesperson told the Times, “There is nothing in the regulations that dictates in what currency the employee must be paid.”

Here are some essential things to know about this visa before you start.
The Preparation Phase
First and foremost, there are several things to know, in this particular phase, you’ll need a fiscal representative and a lawyer.
Your lawyer essentially is your safeguard as he’ll help you manage through the whole process and simplify the legal phrases and documents for you.
The fiscal representative is taking care of your taxes, actually what we call tax preparation and it is important for the steps following the initial preparation phase.
The Advantages of a Fund Over Purchases
The last year has been extremely unpredictable and unfortunately. A lot of the usual economic dynamic has been completely disturbed due to the pandemic.
The outbreak made it in most cases almost impossible for the buyers to come and take a look at the estate they are supposedly buying.
As most people prefer a personal first look, a fund has become a better and safer option.
Another factor is the changing prices on the market as nobody can predict the direction the prices will take, and for instance, Portugal golden visa changes are on the way with some coastal areas not allowing an application already.
Therefore, the best option stays investing in a fund as it allows more flexibility and lower fee rates. It also distances you from any ongoing changes in the market and the economy.
The steps are simple, and the whole process does not take a lot of time.
Numero de Identificacion fiscal
The second step will actually be taken care of by the fiscal representative you hired, the process is simple and easy to understand.
Once your accounts are all checked out, and you are ready to invest in a fund, prior to that you’ll open a NIF, or ID tax number. This will essentially allow you to open a Portuguese bank account. Meaning you can then leave the money in the account into the fund.
Before you decide and make your final decision, take into account all the different advantages of investing in a fund and purchasing an estate.
We already clarified some of the benefits and once you have set your mind on it. You can proceed with the investment. While your lawyer will take care of the Visa application program and all the paperwork.
The fund allows for more possible financial strategies and more flexibility as opposed to one-time purchases, and also we should mention the exit fees are practically 0%.
Once you have finished all the mentioned, there is a step requiring your personal presence, as this cannot be done remotely out of safety reasons.
All your legal documentation has been carefully looked through and everything is taken into account, the next step is an interview to establish your identity and if it matches with the person submitting for the visa.
Once everything is clear, you’ll go on to give your fingerprints, personal data, photos, etc. Basically, the whole ordeal, once you have finished, you move on to the next step. The whole process is needed to protect you from any sort of identity theft.
The receiving of the Golden Visa
The last thing to know and make you more aware of the whole process is the final step-requiring the Visa. You usually wait for half a year and afterward the Visa will be sent to you after you pay the initial Visa fees.
Which with a fund are lesser than with real estate purchases. When it comes to the renewal of the visa, it usually comes after the first two years.
That is the time of the first renewal, then again a second renewal of the visa follows after five years.
After five years, you can finally apply for real citizenship and you can hope for citizenship status. Fortunately, most of these activities are easily dealt with and done remotely while only the interview requires your personal presence.

A week in family law
The Court of Appeal has overturned a ‘top up’ award to a Russian wife who agreed to a divorce settlement in Russia in 2009, under which she received the sum of £5.1 million. The wife applied for the ‘top up’ to the High Court in London In 2014, and was awarded a lump sum of £1.4 million by Mrs Justice Roberts. The husband appealed, and the Court of Appeal has allowed his appeal. Giving the leading judgment Lady Justice King said that the Russian settlement was fair, and that Mrs Justice Roberts did not consider whether in those circumstances it was right for the court to go behind the public policy principle that there should, if at all possible be finality in litigation and that agreements freely reached should be upheld. She also said that there had been no change in the wife’s circumstances, and the application could properly be regarded as a wife seeking a ‘second bite of the cherry’. Accordingly, the award to the wife was set aside. Surely, a sensible decision.
Three teenage brothers who developed a “narcissistic cult” mentality and came to believe there was no point leaving home, socialising or going to school, should be removed from their mother’s care, the High Court has ruled. Concerns over the boys had been raised by social workers, who said that they had suffered neglect and physical and emotional harm due to stress, inadequate food and a lack of medical provision. Their mother, who had mental health issues, had “failed” to allow them to attend school, socialise, play outside or take part in activities. Mr Justice Hayden was told by psychotherapists that the boys formed a group identity and saw themselves as intellectually superior and separate to the rest of the world. Two of the boys spoke to each other in a language they had devised. The boys have been placed in residential care units temporarily, pending a long-term decision on their future. A disturbing case, once again demonstrating the difficult issues that our family courts have to deal with.
In its latest annual Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) report the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) states that in 2016-17 domestic abuse, rape and sexual offences accounted for 19.3 per cent of the CPS’s total caseload, up from 7.1 per cent in 2007-08, when the first VAWG report was published. Of that 19.3 per cent, more than 80 per cent of those crimes were domestic abuse related. However the report does show a decrease in domestic abuse prosecutions and convictions compared with 2015/16, following a two-year fall in referrals of domestic abuse from the police to the CPS. The CPS says that cross-governmental work with the police is underway to address this fall. Leaving that point aside, the report does seem to confirm that the criminal justice system has taken over the burden of dealing with domestic abuse from the civil courts.
A father has succeeded with an application to relocate with his two teenaged sons to Switzerland, following a damaging family dispute. There is a full summary of the case in this post so I won’t repeat it here. Instead, what I wanted to mention is the very unusual fact that the father, despite being successful, was ordered to pay £150,000 towards the mother’s costs. As Mr Justice Peter Jackson said: “the father has “succeeded” in the narrow sense that his application has been granted. In this case, frankly, I do not think that anybody has succeeded.” He found that the mother was entitled to a ‘substantial contribution’ towards her costs, to reflect the fact that the father’s conduct had substantially contributed to the way in which the dispute, which cost the family a staggering £938,000, had to be resolved.
And finally, I like to end with an amusing story, but instead this week I shall end with a warning, once again about the issue of costs. There is nothing remotely amusing about the story of the Australian couple who spent AU $225,000 arguing over the ownership of a car that was worth less than half of that sum. At the end of the two year dispute, the wife was awarded a sum which represented barely one fifth of her legal costs of AU $160,000. How many times do we come across couples who are so full of animosity towards one another that they completely lose sight of both commercial realities and common sense, as the judge in the case said? There are some who would blame the lawyers, but ultimately the blame must lay with the parties. As a barrister said to me long ago at the beginning of my career: litigation is a mug’s game – don’t embark upon it unless you’re sure you’re going to end up better off.
Have a good weekend.

Generic Routing Encapsulation
GRE mainly perform ‘tunneling’.
Does not provide a means to securely encrypt its payload
Often relies on application layer to provide encryption
May be used together with a network layer encryption (such as IPsec)
Example 1: use GRE to encapsulate non-IP traffic and then encrypt the GRE packet using IPsec
Example 2: use GRE to encapsulate multicast traffic, and then encrypt the GRE packet using IPsec
Question: Why not simply use IPsec?

MOSCOW, April 16 (Itar-Tass) —— Georgia’s refusal to fulfil its commitments over the Treaty on Open Skies for Russia may ruin the treaty, spokesman of the Russian Foreign Ministry Alexander Lukashevich said on Monday.
“From the practical point of view Georgia’s decision means that Georgia will not permit observation flights involving Russia over its territory,” the diplomat said. “This is a blatant violation of the Treaty on Open Skies, the 20th anniversary of signing the treaty was marked several weeks ago,” he said.
“Georgia’s actions lead to the violation of Russian rights under the treaty and create a dangerous instance, which along with a quite tense situation emerged in the Open Skies Consultative Commission, may ruin the Treaty on Open Skies,” Lukashevich underlined.

Shop Heater Exhaust
I recently picked up an older Reznor XL 170 shop heater. I am in the planning stages of installation and was wondering if I can run the exhaust on a combination horizontal/vertical run. I am installing the heater on the gable end of the shop approx 12'from floor. The shop peak is 20' from floor. I would really like to run exhaust out gable wall instead of vertical vent through roof. The heater doesn't have an exhaust fan. Thanks in advance for your input. :whistling2:
||01-27-2008 04:37 PM
That unit is designed for a vertical stack to provide draft to the burner chamber for proper operation. A short horizontal near the heater less than 1/4 of the rise is ok, but that is it.

About Bernie G. Yvon (1964-2014)
Bernie was raised in Old Town, Maine and after graduation from Northwestern University in Evanston, IL, quickly became a fixture in Chicago-area live theater. For three decades, he was the consummate song-and-dance man, performing in such classics as Cabaret, Mary Poppins, The Music Man, and Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. The majority of his career was in Chicago, but he played the role of Harry Houdini in the national tour of Ragtime, and also worked on Broadway and at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC.
Chicago theater audiences, from Munster to Marriott Lincolnshire, all knew Bernie Yvon, and loved him, both on the stage and off. He could play all types of roles, from leading man to character and in some cases, both. When we lost Bernie, we lost a part of our theater community that will never be replaced. But, thanks to the Bernie C. Yvon Memorial Fund, young performers will, in his memory, have the opportunity to get their start in the wonderful world that he loved! Here are the winners from last year, and some information on how you can have your opportunity to keep his memory alive in our theater community!
Winners of the 2016 Bernie Yvon Scholarships
JACKSONVILLE, Florida – Two promising performing arts students have received the first college scholarships from a fund honoring Bernie G. Yvon, a beloved Chicago-area actor who passed away in 2014. The scholarships were made possible through the Bernie G. Yvon Memorial Fund, which was established at The Community Foundation for Northeast Florida by his parents and supported by contributions of hundreds of friends and colleagues.
Inaugural awards of $1000 each have been presented to Kamilah Lay of Greendale, WI (Greendale High School) and Emma Swain of Gurnee, IL (Warren Township High School).
Kamilah was deemed the most outstanding performing arts applicant by the scholarship committee, and will be a sophomore at Illinois Wesleyan University. Emma was deemed the most promising performing arts applicant by the scholarship committee, and she will attend Carthage College in Kenosha, WI.
“Bernie was pretty good at just about any part of the performing arts—singing, dancing and acting,” his father, Professor Bernard Rene Yvon, noted when asked about his son, and the scholarship he and his wife Gail established. “He was pretty much an All-American person, playing a wide variety of characters. He had a happy life, and he made many other people happy. We want to give others the opportunity to do the same.”
The Bernie G. Yvon Memorial Fund will make scholarships annually in Bernie’s memory; if you would like to donate to the fund, please go to www.jaxcf.org/give/memorials and type Yvon in the search box.
To apply, go to www.bernieyvon.com/application.
I know that Bernie will be in my memory for the rest of time! I, like many other theater people thank the lord for the time we did have Bernie gracing our stages!

Amazon recently released its results for Q4 2022, which revealed strong revenue growth but poor earnings.
Amazon’s revenue increased to $149,204 million, significantly higher than consensus analyst estimates of $145,420 million.
Although the company’s revenue beat estimates, its earnings disappointed with only $278 million net profit for the quarter, down 90% from Q3 and down 98% year-on-year.
The trailing annual net income – a loss of $2.7 billion – marks the lowest level Amazon has delivered since its listing in 1997.
Amazon started experiencing profitability issues in 2021, and these problems have been amplified by slow economic activity in 2022, continuing to push profit margins downward.
When considering Amazon’s profitability, it becomes clear why the company is struggling.
Since Q1 2021, Amazon has started experiencing a significant contraction in its operating profit margin. In Q1 2021, its operating profit margin was at 8.17%. It has fallen to only 1.83% in Q4 of 2022.
The declining operating profit margin is a bad sign because it shows that the company’s revenue is growing slower than the operating cost.
New projects or expansions taken on by Amazon in this period have, therefore, brought in less money for the company than the costs to operate them.
The only way to counter this trend is to increase cost efficiency within operating segments or discontinue current low-profit operations.
In November 2022, Amazon announced that it would be implementing cost-cutting measures focused on improving profitability.
Since this announcement, Amazon has laid off 18,000 employees – mainly in their stores, device businesses, and human resources departments. The layoffs added an additional $640 million in severance costs in Q4.
In addition to the layoffs, Amazon discontinued many of its unprofitable services. It included its telehealth service, many call centres, and brick-and-mortar chains. It also halted warehouse rollouts.
These cost-cutting measures have pushed Amazon’s expansion into South Africa until Q3 or Q4 in 2023, which was expected to be launched in February.
The cost-cutting measures may relieve the company of many unnecessary burdens and make it more efficient and productive.
If management is successful in identifying dead spots, the company may be successful in improving its profitability.

Building on the huge success of last year’s inaugural edition of Cairo Design Week, this year the much anticipated event expanded its horizon, taking place in 3 prominent and historical locations and two pocket locations across Cairo. Aiming to bring together different creative talents and to revitalize the artistic landscape in Egypt, the second year edition of Cairo Design Week showcased the architectural heritage of the region and offered a different experience demonstrated in an array of panel discussions, workshops, and exhibitions. We had a talk with Hisham Mahdy, Founder of Cairo Design, where he further discussed the idea behind the 2nd edition of Cairo Design Week, the new experiences it offers, and its role in supporting local artists.
1. Since its inception last year, Cairo Design Week demonstrated a commitment to bringing forth a change to the creative and artistic landscape in Egypt. We would like to know more about this edition’s theme and its main focus.
In the second edition of Cairo Design Week, our goal was to expand into key design neighborhoods like Heliopolis, the iconic Citadel, and Downtown, along with smaller design hubs in Zamalek and Maadi, celebrating art and cultural ties.
Our aim is to unite a variety of design and creative talents on a lively platform every year. This year's event highlighted the architectural legacy of the region through a range of activities, exhibitions, talks, and industry-focused events showcasing talents from both local and international designers.
Each District had its own magical experience as our main purpose was to celebrate art across Cairo. The exhibitions showcase the best and brightest that the Egyptian design community has to offer, with inspiring installations and exhibits, conceptual works by the industry’s leading creative minds, and innovative products and services, driving the future of design. The Citadel of Saladin District encompasses several locations within the Citadel, such as Yusuf’s Well, Dar Al Darb, and the Police Museum. Similarly, the Heliopolis District featured various locations including AlCayan Building, Design 101, Photopia, Villa Ahmed Helmy, Villa Magenta, and Ghurnata Palace. Finally, the Downtown District included venues like the Tamara Building, Mazeej, the Factory and La Viennoise.
2. Being held at 3 different locations is an expansion that makes it bigger than last year’s edition. Could you please tell us more about the 3 locations and the pocket destinations and why have you decided on these destinations in specific?
This year, the districts were chosen based on their historical background to connect the past, present, and future of art. Starting with the Saladin Citadel that opened on the 23rd of February, the event was held across several locations, including the Design District at Yusuf’s Well, the Fashion Design District Experience at Dar Al Darb, and the Citadel Design District at the Police Museum.
Transitioning to the Heliopolis District, which opened on the 24th of February, attendees anticipated a wide array of experiences. These included the C.Reality Experience, Coventry University Experience, Phlog Experience at AlCayan Building, as well as Design 101, Photopia Experience, Divaz Experience at Villa Ahmed Helmy, Villa Magenta Experience, GLC Experience at Ghurnata Palace, Design Centre, Sara Onsi, Pappaloro, Casa 27 by Tiles, and Ola Saleh Jewellery. Additionally, the third district opening took place in Downtown on the 25th of February, which offered a diverse range of experiences such as the Alchemy Experience at Tamara Building, Mazeej, the showcase by Bazarna at the Factory and WANDER at La Viennoise.
As for this year’s edition, it extended beyond the three main design districts, enriching the scope of Cairo Design Week to introduce two exclusive add-ons Zamalek and Maadi. Zamalek with its cosmopolitan flair, alongside the tranquil Maadi, together, they create a mosaic of inspiration adding depth and diversity to the week’s tapestry of events.
3. Which of these locations did you expect to garner the best attention?
I can't specify which district attracted the most attention, as each one offered its own unique magic and experience.
4. What was different and newly introduced in this edition in comparison to the previous one?
Other than having 3 main districts in this edition instead of only one district, we also enriched the scope of Cairo Design Week to introduce two exclusive add-ons Zamalek and Maadi.
5. How did this year’s edition help promote local artists and their businesses?
We expanded the scope of this edition by promoting local artists and their businesses, spanning across Cairo's three districts and two additional pockets. Our mission also involved nurturing Egypt's creative community, encompassing students and business advocates, all while showcasing our heritage through innovation. We offered a diverse range of activities, from summits and workshops to painting, product, and furniture exhibitions, as well as art and fashion showcases, and sculpture and architectural displays. Our goal was to showcase the richness of our culture to the world while highlighting the pivotal role of Egyptian designers. This endeavor inspired us to create something truly distinctive.
6. Finally, a message from you to those who attended CDW’s 2nd edition
To all those who attended CDW and are interested in the Art, Design, and Fashion industry, our future plan is to create a permanent district to exist all year long as a hub for all Egyptian Designers. As for CDA’s winners at the closing ceremony of Cairo Design Week, wishing them more years of success celebrating creativity, innovation, and ingenuity that defines the essence of design.

My toes are like soft limp flower stems. When I move myself, my flower toes move with me.
They move easy, calm and joyous. I let the cement that I’ve known for so long let itself crack to reveal the green and yellow of the the whole plant. The plant that is me. The cement that has held together such a hard truth will let go when it can; to reveal the beauty that is me.
Soil though, without care becomes hard like cement- no nutrition to be found. The growth to be witnessed in the mirror is blurry. It leads to the question I ask myself, has there been any growth?
I clean the mirror, I wipe it hard; trying to see the change. Harsh chemicals only make it more blurry. How can I get to a place where my toes are like flowers again? I punch the cement, it only makes me hurt. When did this cement first arrive? How can I get rid of the cement?
Why do I even want to get rid of the cement?
And suddenly something moves in me – or I move something in me – or I move myself…? I’m not quite sure. There’s a chain reaction. Suddenly everything seems so simple. The cement is me and I am the cement. But I am also the plant. And the cement is also soil.
My toes are soft limp flowers in stable and healthy soil, moving the wind. As the wind moves me, as I move myself. As my passion moves me forward. As my eyes look to where I need to go, pointing me in the direction that I want to go.
Letting my eyes lead me; a hard truth that is actually so easy, if I let it be. If I can let myself be me. If I can let curiosity lead me; let curiosity be me.
Chronic pain can be such a back and forth experience. One day everything is fine. I feel free and easy. And the next day, there is a hard. The hard context brings me farther away from myself as I tend to get angry at myself, angry at the world and at my body. My anxiety increases, my depression gets heavy, and I can’t imagine it will ever get better. How can it, especially when I’m so far from myself.
This is just a pattern of mine. Like all the rest. The trick is to notice what happened before, and what is supposed to happen next. Can i change that, is the question. Can I make the next something new every time. Can I live my life in spontaneity? Can i get hurt and think about the parts of me that don’t hurt. The parts of me that have been resilient throughout the day. Because the pain leads to anxiety, anger and depression.
