Joanna Lumley has called for a return to wartime rationing to help tackle climate change in the UK.
The British actress, well known for her role as Patsy Stone on Absolutely Fabulous, said radical legislation was needed to save the planet, including the reintroduction of rationing like that imposed during the Second World War.

She added “That was how the war was, stuff was rationed, and at some stage I think we might have to go back to some kind of system of rationing, where you’re given a certain number of points and it’s up to you how to spend them, whether it’s buying a bottle of whisky or flying in an aeroplane”
Breitbart reports: The actress is not the first to suggest climate credits, with then-Labour Environment Secretary David Miliband suggesting a rationing scheme in 2006, telling The Guardian at the time that, within five years, Britons could each have a carbon “credit card” which they have to swipe every time they pay an energy utility bill, buy petrol, or book a flight.

I don't think women are being roused to stand up against oppression at all. The film ends by saying, well look what a good place we are in now compared to countries like Saudi Arabia, look how far we've come. Thank God those women did what they did so we could have the vote today. This is not good enough.
Remarkably, this is the first biography about MLK made for the big screen. The film is about a very specific moment in the city of Selma, Alabama, when black civil rights activist Martin Luther King (MLK) life, had given his "I have a dream" speech and received the Nobel peace prize, but was still frustrated by the lack of genuine progress on civil rights.
As a subject, conflict has always drawn filmmakers, whether driven by political or social ideals, or inspired by more humanitarian concerns.

The UN should move swiftly on Hodeidah to avert disaster
The handshake was the most visible result of the talks in Sweden on Yemen. To see Yemen’s Foreign Minister Khaled Al-Yamani and the Houthi representative shake hands was encouraging. It is the first time that the two sides had met face to face since talks in Kuwait in 2016. Even if we disagree on the significance of the outcome of the Sweden talks, it was certainly encouraging to see the parties engaging.
There were some tangibles from the week-long talks that concluded last week. About 15,000 prisoners and their families may soon be united. The agreement to free the prisoners is skewed in favor of the Houthis, because they would be getting back thousands of their fighting forces who are in government hands now and could be deployed again to fight.
The majority of those to be freed by the Houthis are civilians who may not have a direct impact on the fighting capabilities of the government side. Nevertheless, Yemen will feel the positive effects of this humanitarian gesture of thousands of families uniting for the first time in months and years.
The agreement on Hodeidah is very significant as well. The proposal to have a UN peacekeeping and administrative role in running the ports there has been around for some time, but now we have indications that the international community is ready to support such a role.
It is important that the UN role is given enough support from the Security Council in terms of the mandate and resources to ensure that the ports are used solely for civilian purposes and not as conduits for arms smuggling and profiteering. The UN should ensure that proceeds from running the ports are used to fund humanitarian activities and pay civil servants’ salaries.
There were failures as well. The parties failed to reach agreement on Taiz, a heavily populated city that has been besieged by the Houthis for years. They also could not make progress on the general framework for peace and other important issues. The good thing is that they all agreed to continue discussions in the near future, but that all hinges on the progress that the UN and the parties can make to implement what was agreed in Sweden.
Against these encouraging signs, there have been some disturbing developments. Mohammed Abdel-Salam, the leader of the Houthi delegation, and his lieutenant have both published their own slanted understandings of the outcome of the Sweden talks, especially regarding Hodeidah.
They disagree with what the UN sought to convey about the agreement. It is not clear whether these Houthi statements about the talks are intended for consumption by their supporters, or whether they represent their genuine positions.
According to Abdel-Salam, the first phase should be withdrawal of the “invading forces” from Hodeidah’s city outskirts. The second phase would be “suspending military activity from all sides.” He reiterated that the agreement means “withdrawal of the invaders” from the whole southern part of the “province” of Hodeidah, not just the city or ports.
The majority of those to be freed by the Houthis are civilians who may not have a direct impact on the fighting capabilities of the government side.
Abdel Aziz Aluwaisheg
This is significant because the province covers vast territories that have been under government control for months, long before the recent military moves in the ports and city. Abdel-Salam agrees that his own forces should stop their military activities, but not withdraw or redeploy.
Abdel-Malak Al-Ajri, another member of the Houthi delegation, was more strident. In a detailed statement he published in an official Houthi publication, he dismissed the “rumor” of leaving the ports as a propaganda ploy by the other side. He stressed that the agreement does not include leaving the ports, but only “withdrawal by the aggression militias and mercenaries from the city outskirts.”
According to him, Houthi forces would only redeploy to the position they held in the city and ports during Ramadan (June-July 2018), meaning full control of them. Al-Ajri said nothing has changed in the security arrangements or control of Hodeidah, only an isolated facilitation of the humanitarian situation.
Houthi actions on the ground are consistent with these interpretations and more ominous. Houthi forces have been re-entrenching their positions in the city and ports, and not showing any signs that they would be ready to withdraw or redeploy.
It spells disaster for Yemen if these Houthi statements represent their operational understanding of the solution to Hodeidah. The UN should work to disabuse the Houthis of these notions by swiftly moving to establish a peacekeeping, peacebuilding presence in Hodeidah. The sooner that is done, the sooner the UN can start to defuse the standoff around Hodeidah.
If the UN mandate and resources are robust enough to make a difference in there, the formula could be used as a template for other areas should the parties agree. But if the UN fails in Hodeidah, its future in resolving the Yemen conflict may be doomed.

In one of the sweetest encounters you’ve ever seen, a Golden Retriever befriends a curious whale shark. The two lovely creatures even shared a kiss, with the moment captured on camera by the dog’s human mom!
Australian diver Jade Pursell, is usually taking her dog Sailor on boat trips. But recently, she witnessed a scene she thought she will, after her beloved furry friend met a marine creature, for the very first time. The duo was boating off the coast of Australia, close to the Ningaloo Reef, when a 22 feet long whale shark surfaced next to their boat. Jade’s heart instantly filled with joy, the moment she have seen her dog sharing a very intimate encounter with the whale shark.
“Sailor had never met a whale shark before,” the diver said. “I always hoped she would but that was by far better than I had ever imagined. I was telling her not to touch it but neither of them listened to me. Sailor sniffed and kissed the shark.”
Though initially worried as she had no idea how Sailor would react, Jade’s concerns have disappeared the moment she has seen her dog gently touching her nose with the shark’s.
“I was so happy,” she explained. “To see her meeting a whale shark, I honestly just felt overjoyed. Animals are incredible and it couldn’t have gone any better. My initial worry was that she might take a leap of faith onto the shark or that she would touch it. Once the shark was so close to her I knew I had nothing to worry about.”
Sailor might be the first dog to ever kiss a whale shark, and her mom could not be any prouder. Thankfully, Jade recorded the lovely moment the two animals interact!
“It was such an innocent interaction,” Jade said. “I felt so lucky to see it. To think Sailor is probably the only dog in the world to have kissed a whale shark is pretty special.”
Watch the rare encounter below!

If you’re a vegetarian paw-rent either by choice or by religion, you might have considered placing Fido on the same diet as well. Is this safe, you may ask? Well, yes! Contrary to popular belief, our pooches are not strictly carnivores, and can still do well even on a vegetarian diet.
Dogs belong in the carnivora order, but are actually omnivores in the wild. They are able to consume meat and vegetables, and certain studies suggest that dogs can convert certain amino acids into others based on what their bodies need.
This means that the protein source need not be meat! So long as their nutritional needs are met in a balanced diet, pups can be placed on vegetarian diets.
Of course, while a vegetarian diet for Fido may be harmless, this does not apply to those with special needs. Always consult your vet and/or pet nutritionist if you are planning to make such a dramatic change in Fido’s diet. If your furkid has any condition that requires a specific diet that needs meat, do not change his diet unless your vet gives you the green light.
Your vet and nutritionist can help to analyse the types of food that you’re intending to give and make recommendations for additional health safeguards. To compensate for imbalances or deficiency in Fido’s diet, paw-rents may turn to nutritional supplements for the added help.
At the end of the day, the decision is up to you! There are no serious health hazards in placing your pooch on a vegetarian diet, as their bodies can adapt to the change. Once you’ve come up with a balanced and healthy meal plan for Fido, the only challenge lies in whether he is willing to accept the vegetables or not!

The theatrical trailer of ‘Vijetha’ marking the debut of Kalyaan Dhev has garnered one million views. The trailer was unveiled post the audio launch event and is still trending on number two position in YouTube which is quite surprising.
Written and directed Rakesh Sashii, ‘Vijetha’ is about a father who cares about his son’s future. Malavika Nair played the female lead role and Harshavardhan Rameshwar has composed music.
Produced by Vaaraahi Chalana Chitram banner, the film is releasing on July 12th.

The model has the proportions of a front-engined, rear-wheel drive sportscar, with a long hood and a low, sculpted body. At the front, there is a large grille, sporty bumper intakes and fender-mounted LED headlights. On the profile there is a massive side intake on the front fender, a panoramic windshield merging with the side windows, and large-diameter wheels emphasized by the toned fenders.
The rear end is quite aggressive with a coupe-style roofline, slim LED taillights inspired by Jaguar, and a large diffuser. The model is available in five exterior shades – Liquid Chrome, Scandal Green, Open Sea, Chrome Orange, and Morning Frost – while Raven Cars haven’t shown us renderings of the interior.
The Raven GT might not be destined for the real world, but the company has described the potential specs if it was to hit the road. According to the official website, the two-seater coupe could be based on a V12-powered donor car, tipping the scales at 1,525 kg (3,362 pounds).
The longitudinally-mounted V12 petrol engine would produce a healthy 789 hp (588 kW / 800 PS) and 718 Nm (529 lb-ft) of torque. Power would be sent to the rear axle through a seven-speed automatic gearbox allowing a 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) in 2.9 seconds and a top speed of more than 340 km/h (211 mph). Raven Cars went as far as calculating an estimated fuel consumption of 15 lt/100km (15.7 mpg) and CO2 emissions of 345 g/km – not what you’d call environmentally conscious.
We don’t know how many Raven GT-related NFTs will be offered for sale, but the company is already planning its second model which will be a hypercar, before they enter the metaverse.

You would like to have a garden that uses organic methods to grow healthy plants. This is great timing! The following article is full of tips you can use to grow amazing organic plants without spending a lot of money.
If you want the best results, you need to choose the right soil. The soil may have to be adapted, depending on what types of plants you're planning for the garden. You can also make an artificial area using only one type of soil.
Soak the seeds and store in a dark area overnight. Drop your seeds into a small jar that is filled with cold water. This will allow seeds to be watered and they will get a kick start when growing. This increases the chances of survival for the seeds.
Be consistent with garden fertilization. One type of fertilizer that really helps plants grow is manure, but be sure to utilize a type that is commercially composted to reduce the chances of pathogens. There are numerous types of fertilizers available. What type you select is less of a concern; any kind of fertilizer is better than none.
Choose a specific plant to become your garden's focal point. In any great garden design, a good focal point captures the eye. More often than not, it is a plant that is distinctively different from its neighbors.
In the hottest time of the day, most vegetables are less firm; even the act of harvesting the veggies may cause bruising. Cut vegetables off at the vine, and don't twist them off, as this could hurt the plant.
Beautiful insects are attracted to heather when you plant it. Heather is desirable to bees; when heather emerges in early spring, it can be a source of nectar. Beds of heather are largely undisturbed and make a perfect living space for spiders, beetles and a variety of other beneficial tenants. Because of this, don't forget to protect your hands when pruning heather beds.
If you can't wait for a cut to heal before digging in the dirt, then at least protect your cuts from exposure. Your cut could get infected if you're dealing with grime and dirt when horticulture. Get a bandage that seals the cut properly.
If you are growing plants inside of your home, you need to keep the thermostat set to 65 to 75 degrees during the day. This is the optimum temperature to ensure strong growth. If you aren't wanting your house to be this warm in the winter, you can use a heat lamp on the plants.
Make sure you have your horticulture tools near you, so you can maximize your gardening efficiency. Large pockets or a sturdy bucket can be used to store tools. Make sure your trowel, pruning shears, gloves and other important tools are always handy. This will allow you to make easy work of your gardening up-keep!
You will now be better prepared as you start pursuing organic gardening. With the knowledge you have, you should be ready for anything! Remember to apply these tips as you plan and take care of your garden.

Note: I have put an updated version of this guide on my website under the blog section. It covers some of the walks in Bright, and also more trails within Mount Buffalo National Park. (30/9/2011).
Described by geologist EJ Dunn as the ‘Garden of the Gods’, Buffalo Plateau offers numerous photo opportunities for the avid photographer/bushwalker. Imposing granite tors and vistas encompassing the entire Australian Alpine region make this a worthwhile place to spend a few days.
Special Photographic Features and Notes
Mainly landscape photographic opportunities at Mount Buffalo National Park (MBNP) however there are numerous wildflowers in spring/summer for macro enthusiasts and also birds for wildlife shooters.
MBNP is a very accessible park with a lot of great trails of short duration close to various car parks. However when in the bush always take appropriate precautions such as bringing a map, compass, water, cold and wet weather gear as the weather can change very rapidly in the mountains and it it easy to get lost as some trails are not clearly marked.
Below is a photo shot just off the Horn walking trail (which is only 1 km long) at sunset. You can get parking at the Horn parking lot however note that to get here will involve driving along 3 km of unsealed roads. It is possible to do this in a 2WD car.
Another photo from the Horn walking trail at sunset. This shot does not require you to deviate from the trail. Note that the elevation from the Horn viewpoint (which is above where this shot was taken) allows for 360 degree views of the Australian Alps. You may wish to bring a telephoto lens to compress the layers of mountains.
Photo taken from the top of the Hump walking track at dusk. Once again, this is a very short track (~1.5 km) and is easily accessible from the car park at its base. Note that the altitude of MBNP tends to lead to interesting cloud formations as you can see below. This is also an excellent spot for viewing sunsets as there are 360 degree unobstructed views of the Australian Alps.
Below is the view just off the ‘Mac’s Point’ walking track. This is only about 400m from the road so once again this is a very accessible location. The big rock structure in the background is known as the Cathedral.
Close up shot of the Cathedral rock formation in the late afternoon light. This was taken just after the point where the Cathedral track and the Hump track diverge.
MBNP is an all seasons park and so is open thourghout the year. Keep in mind you may need chains / cold weather gear if you intend on going in winter. I recommend going in spring when the weather is fine and the wildflowers are in bloom.
- Bring a tripod in order to shoot at low ISO’s for cleaner images
- Shoot f8-11 if possible to increase sharpness and depth of field
- Bring graduated neutral density filters if you intend on taking landscape photos
- Bring cold/wet weather gear as the weather can change very quickly in the mountains
- Bring a compass and a map as not all the trails are clearly marked
The Victorian High Country is about 4 hours North East of Melbourne. Porepunkah is the nearest town to MBNP, however Bright is only 5 minutes down the road and has more accommodation and eating options – I would recommend staying there. There are plenty of motels for a very reasonable price.
Note that it will take approximately an hour from the entry gate to get to the Hump / the Cathedral so plan accordingly. Also note that the everything in Bright shuts down ~9PM so if you’re taking sunset shots make sure you bring dinner with you or make appropriate plans.

This morning we got the bad news that none of our geo-fenced lottery permits had come through. It wasn’t too surprising, but it meant we had no plans for the day. Should we just call it and drive home? Should we try to find some other feature to explore? We opted to visit one of the other amazing places inside Vermillion Cliffs National Monument that Mark had heard about. None of us knew anything about it other than it’s usually pretty crowded because it’s supposed to be pretty awesome. I have never hiked Coyote Buttes at all. I haven’t seen The Wave in person. But I can’t imagine it’s any better than what we experienced at White Pocket. This place was amazing and we had it completely to ourselves. There were a couple people there when we arrived, but they all left before we walked out to the formations. It doesn’t get better than that.
The Paw Hole Problem
Our first attempt to reach White Pocket went sideways. The dirt roads inside the national monument are basically just deep rutted sand. Our 4Runner is very capable. We have after-market suspension, wider rims and larger tires. We let out some of the air in our tires to give us a softer ride and a bit more traction in the sand. Our friends have a similarly capable Land Cruiser. The sandy roads were not an issue for either of us. So why did we have to turn back before reaching White Pocket on our first go? Because we are stupid and didn’t read the map before driving to Paw Hole. We originally thought we would just drive up past Paw Hole and continue on to White Pocket. It is definitely the shortest route. Unfortunately, when we got to the Paw Hole trailhead, we realized the road we wanted to take heading East to White Pocket is designated one-way going West. There were no other cars around and we considered just doing it. But we figured it might have some narrow sections that made it difficult-at-best to pass an oncoming vehicle, and we didn’t want to cause trouble, so we ultimately decided to head back out and take the long way around. Later we decided it may just be too steep to be passible in the deep sand.
There was a motor home and a Sprinter van on the edges of the White Pocket parking lot. They were camping there and probably taking some amazing sunrise and sunset pictures. We also saw a well-equipped Jeep. The owners of the Jeep showed up as we were putting on sunblock. They gave us a quick rundown of what they thought was the best and then they headed home. They described the trail out to the rocks as being formidable, but it was a pretty easy walk. I wouldn’t even call it a hike.
The clouds were rolling in, which looked really great and provided some interesting sun and shadow spots across the rocks. But they also brought rain, which was a problem. We didn’t mind getting wet or walking around the rocks in the rain, but we had to drive back out on those roads of deep sand. Rain and deep sand are not the recipe we needed, so we didn’t stay very long once the rain hit.
Despite our worries, the drive out was a piece of cake. The rain hadn’t made it very muddy. In fact, it may have been just enough to help hold some of the sand together. We zoomed along the back country roads and headed back home. What a great weekend. We will be back.

The revenue of China hospital industry jumped at a CAGR of 23.6% in 2011-2013, and it is expected to maintain the growth rate of over 20% and hit RMB4.07 trillion in 2017.
Dallas, TX (PRWEB) August 18, 2014
China's hospital industry has been developing quickly in recent years, thanks to the market demand stimulus and steady progress in health care reform. The number of Chinese hospitals grew at a CAGR of 6% in 2011-2013, higher than 2.26% in 2005-2010. The revenue of China hospital industry jumped at a CAGR of 23.6% in 2011-2013, and it is expected to maintain the growth rate of over 20% and hit RMB4.07 trillion in 2017.
At the same time, various social capital flows to the Chinese hospital market by self-establishment, mergers and acquisitions (including participation in the restructuring of public hospitals), joint ventures, associates and other forms, which boosts the expansion of private hospitals. As of the end of 2013, Chinese private hospitals had accounted for 45.8% of the total Chinese hospitals, increasing by 24.5 percentage points compared with 2006. However, from the point of view of revenue structure, public hospitals still took a dominant position with the proportion of over 90%, but the figure shows a decreasing trend now.

In the private hospital investment boom, specialized hospitals involved with small investment, high returns and strong market demand have become a hotspot for social capital. Currently, the proportion of Chinese specialized hospitals in private hospitals reaches about 65%. Specialized hospitals in huge demand, such as dental hospitals, ophthalmic hospitals, plastic surgery & cosmetic hospitals, even achieve the profit margins of more than 10%, much higher than the overall level of Chinese hospitals (about 5%).
Targeting medium and high-end medical markets, foreign-funded enterprises mainly adopt cooperative operation, equity participation, joint ventures (under the lead of foreign investors) and other approaches to develop business in China, such as Chindex United Family Hospital and Parkway Pantai. United Family Hospital had covered Beijing, Shanghai, Wuxi, Guangzhou and Tianjin by the end of June 2014, and its hospitals in Qingdao and Guangzhou are under construction.

The Lakers finally did right by George Mikan and the Minneapolis era
George Mikan Lakers Jersey Retirement Ceremony. Jose Carrnaza: I't€™s about time. Lakers should have done this when George Mikan was alive.
But better late than never. George Mikan was the star player of the 50'€™s NBA and helped the Lakers win 5 titles.
George Mikan (1924-2005) - known asÃ‚Â Gentle Giant. Look at his elegant suit, gentle smile, and his intellectual outlook with glasses. One would say that he is a university professor, rather than a professional basketball player. Bill Schroeder presents Helm Medallion noting Mikan's election into Helms athletic foundationÃ‚Â Hall of Fame. Photo by Green & Tillisch, courtesy: First Interstate Bank Athletic Foundation - Sports Museum. Many thanks to Mr.Ã‚Â Vladimir Novak, Croatia/USA, for the photo.
LAKERS TO RETIRE GEORGE MIKAN'S NO. 99 JERSEY ON OCT. 30
The Los Angeles Lakers retired George Mikan's No. 99 jersey in a ceremony on October 30, 2022, when the Lakers hosted the Denver Nuggets at Crypto.com Arena. All fans in attendance received a George Mikan replica jersey.
Mikan became the 11th player in Los Angeles Lakers history to earn the distinction, joining Kobe Bryant (8 & 24), Wilt Chamberlain (13), Elgin Baylor (22), Gail Goodrich (25), Earvin "Magic" Johnson (32), Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (33), Shaquille O'Neal (34), James Worthy (42), Jerry West (44) and Jamaal Wilkes (52).
The 1948 National Basketball League MVP and four-time All-Star helped lead the then Minneapolis Lakers to five championships (1949, 1950, 1952, 1953, 1954) and was elected to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 1959. Donning a Lakers uniform, Mikan led the league in scoring in three consecutive seasons (1948-51) and was the league's leading rebounder in back-to-back campaigns (1951-53). The six-time All-NBA First Team selection averaged 23.1 points, 13.4 rebounds and 2.8 assists in his career. The Illinois native was recently named to the NBA's 75th Anniversary Team.
Two NBA giants: George Mikan with his glasses, and Shaquil O'Neal. Shaquil wrote the following dedication:Ã‚Â To George, without you there would be no me. I am obliged to Ms. Gina Mikan, George Mikan's grand-daugher, for briniging this very nice photo as a gift to Zagreb.
Giants of the NBA: George Mikan, Shaquil O'Neal and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

About the AuthorTerry Failing
TFailing Saint Johnsville, N.Y., U.S.A.
Terry Failing, a graduate of Hamilton College and the State University of New York at Binghamton has been following the debate about the existence of God that has been raging between scientific atheists and fundamentalist theologians and has found that both sides’ arguments are not only unconvincing but strangely similar in their dogmatism and refusal to consider any truth other than their own. Armed only with curiosity and doubt, he has set out to explore and forge new understandings and definitions of God and of the other orthodoxies that dominate our lives. When not reading and thinking about this exploration, he tends a plum and cherry orchard in upstate New York. Comments about the book may be sent to the author at email@example.com.

The Better Hearing Institute (BHI) is raising awareness of the link between hearing loss and some chronic diseases during National Men's Health Week (June 11 – 17). Research shows that people with heart disease, diabetes, chronic kidney disease, and/or Alzheimer's disease may have an increased risk of hearing loss. Research also links hearing loss to a three-fold risk of falling among working-aged people (40 to 69), depression and anxiety, cognitive decline, and reduced earnings.
BHI also is urging men to get their hearing checked and to be fitted with hearing aids, when needed, to reduce the toll that unaddressed hearing loss can take on their lives. BHI has made available a free online hearing check at www.hearingcheck.org, where anyone can quickly and confidentially assess if they may have a hearing loss and need a more comprehensive hearing evaluation by a hearing healthcare professional.
"Hearing health is integral to a man's whole health and wellbeing," says Sergei Kochkin, PhD, Executive Director of BHI. "It affects his quality of life, relationships, family life, job performance, and even his earnings. And because hearing loss is linked to several chronic diseases, it's important that men and their healthcare providers routinely address hearing health as part of their medical care."
BHI hopes to raise awareness of the importance of hearing health among men, their healthcare providers, and their employers. And BHI is urging doctors to screen for hearing loss as part of annual physical exams. The institute is also encouraging employers to include hearing health in their workplace wellness programs.
Sixty percent of the 34 million people in the United States with hearing loss are male. And more than 15 million men in the United States suffer from unaddressed hearing loss. Yet the vast majority of them can benefit from hearing aids.
In a 2010 study, BHI found that people with untreated hearing loss lose as much as $30,000 in income annually, depending on their degree of hearing loss. The use of hearing aids, however, was shown to dramatically reduce the risk of income loss and unemployment.

Well, this is where the going gets good.
Having to pull away from my beloved Barossa Valley (I’m still working on the wine + cheese I bought there, and I’ve since also added some specialty honey and home-grown olives to my loot from Denmark – but I’ll get to that later).
So anyways, leaving behind wine country it was time to make our way back to land of sand and sun, which is exactly what we found!
Day 1 | Drive from Barossa to Port Augusta
Admittedly, there is nothing here worth writing home about. It was purely a functional stop for us to get some rest for one night as we continued on our journey, BUT I’ve heard that if you go further down to Port Lincoln it’s a great little oyster town. Our journey was only 3 hours, so we didn’t want to add the additional 10 it would have taken (5 up, 5 back) to go down to Port Lincoln, so this was it for us. C’est la vie.
Day 2 | Drive from Port Augusta to Ceduna
This was another functional stop but WAY better than the previous. We stayed right on the water-front and the blue crab fishing was ample. Time and time again, fishermen, women and their children would pull up a solid loot for a delicious, fresh-caught dinner.
We were faced with the longest haul of our drive the next day (14-15 hours in one go – eesh), so it was a buffet dinner at the hotel and straight to bed for us that night after a walk along the pier.
Day 3 | Drive from Ceduna to Esperance
Of course this doesn’t have to be done in this mammoth drive, but resources are slim along the route of the Nullabor, so we opted to just buckle down, wake up at 4AM and hit the dusty trail. Definitely pack and prepare wisely if you’d rather camp out along the way because the places for rest are a bit few and far between. We stocked up on extra fuel as well since the prices are STEEP along the way, so I’d suggest getting a jerrycan or two of the lesser expensive stuff before trekking across the Nullabor.
The main attraction along this part of the drive is the Nullabor itself – with plunging cliffs and stunning views at the coastline. It feels like you’re driving along the edge of the earth, and rightly so as you are in fact driving (closely) to the edge of Australia. It’s completely flat, almost treeless and something I would liken to perhaps driving through Saskatchewan (sans ocean and jutting cliffs) for any Canucks reading this. And also except maybe for this:
Part of the journey includes Australia’s longest stretch of straight road for a full 90 miles (146KM) which I drove myself! Literally there is not a single bend, so you have to try to stay awake, but sitting on cruise-control with the windows down and country tunes on blast – I was well equipped to make it through, no troubles.
Once you pass into West Australia, you can jump down to see the Eucla Sand Dunes which are really quite tall and vast! And if you have a 4WD vehicle, make sure you hit the Bunda Cliffs before crossing the border (they’re about 5-6KM before the border check point).
I should also note, when you cross the border to Western Australian (eat your fruits, veggies, nuts + honey before you cross because they will get tossed), you gain 3 hours! So although we were driving for 15(ish), it didn’t hurt so much when after driving for 7 hours, it became 8AM again, haha.
But back to the Bunda Cliffs: for those of you, like us, who didn’t have 4WD, we hit a beautiful stretch of the Nullabor cliffs quite early-on at an unmarked look-out point/camp-grounds. It was maybe about 20-25KM from the Whale’s Tale Tavern/Nullabor Roadhouse but don’t quote me on that distance. Look for a y-shaped path on the left-hand side, and follow the red dirt path down the clearing. You’ll be met with this:
Overall, we made it quite easily in 15 hours with stops, and of course two drivers. We only clipped one Kangaroo along the early dawn drive (I wish I was kidding, but don’t worry, I’m pretty sure he was okay), so make sure if you do this you stay alert during those active wildlife hours.
Finally we hit our promised land, Esperance, and I will say this: it shouldn’t matter how you get here, or what route you take, but find your way as you definitely won’t regret it. More on that here.

Two Winston-Salem men were indicted on murder charges Monday in separate fatal car crashes. One of the car crashes involved alcohol and the other is alleged to have resulted from car racing.
Brandon Darrell Fields, 29, of the 900 block of West Patterson Avenue, is facing second-degree murder and other charges based on allegations that he was driving drunk and crossed the center line on North Liberty Street, killing one woman and seriously injuring three other people who were all passengers in his car.
Ravon Walser Rousseau, 27, of Wakeman Drive, was indicted for second-degree murder on allegations that he was racing another car when he crashed into a taxi cab, killing the driver.
The indictments mean that the criminal cases move from Forsyth District Court to Forsyth Superior Court, where either a trial date will be set or a plea arrangement is made.
The charges against Fields arose out of a crash that happened on Dec. 15, 2018, in the 2800 block of North Liberty Street. The indictments allege that Fields was driving a 2006 Mercury Grand Marquis on North Liberty Street. According to the indictments, Fields was driving drunk when his car crossed the center line and hit an oncoming pickup on North Liberty Street.
Renee Dawn Dix, 46, who lived at Fields’ house and was sitting in the front-passenger seat, was killed. Three other passengers — Gilbert Rossi, Daniella Litzinger and Martha Snowden — all suffered blunt force trauma injuries. Litzinger and Snowden also had fractured ribs, the indictments said.
Officer C.A. McRae said in an affidavit for a search warrant for Fields’ blood that Fields was belligerent with police officers and medical staff at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center to the point where he had to be physically restrained. McRae also said Fields had red, glassy eyes.
According to a report from NMS Labs, Fields had a blood alcohol concentration of 0.21 percent. The legal limit in North Carolina is 0.08 percent.
The report also noted that Fields had methamphetamine, lorazepam and traces of marijuana in his system.
Rousseau is accused of causing the death of Olivia Darlene Florez on Nov. 14, 2018. She worked for Universal Taxi Cab Co. of Winston-Salem and was driving a taxi when the crash occurred.
Florez was turning south onto the 2800 block of New Walkertown Road from a shopping center when the 2008 black Infiniti that Rousseau was driving hit her, Winston-Salem police said. Rousseau is also accused of driving while his license was suspended and reckless driving to endanger. Other criminal charges also include speed competition, which alleges that Rousseau was speeding with another driver, who is unnamed.
Indictments allege that he ran from the scene before police arrived.
Carolyn Gordon Poe, 35, who was a passenger in his car, was indicted Monday on charges that she ran away from the scene.
Forsyth County prosecutors dropped attempted murder charges against Rousseau in 2016. He had been accused of firing his gun at two police officers. Further investigation by police determined that he was firing his gun at targets.
According to the website for the Forsyth County Jail, Rousseau, who has other pending charges, has a bond of $380,500. Fields has a bond of $150,000. It was not immediately clear when the men will make their first appearance in Forsyth Superior Court.

The benefits of using pre-painted/colour-coated roofing sheets:
• Durability is a prominent feature of colour-coated steel roofing sheets. Dependent on where they are used, steel sheets can last considerably longer than 30 years with little maintenance apart from periodic cleaning.
• The sheets are lightweight yet with high strength, making them an ideal building material. The sheeting can be made in varying base metal thicknesses for the strength required by the particular building design.
• Sheeting is made in many different profiles, for all aesthetic and architectural genres.
• When sheets are installed with the appropriate insulation, they can reduce energy consumption by 50% in summer and 40% in winter.
• All steel roofing sheeting is 100% recyclable; steel is one of the most recycled materials on earth, dramatically minimising the negative impact of waste building materials on our environment.
How coated steel works:
Steel is coated with protective alloys which protect the inner steel core from corrosion that is caused by exposure to the elements or pollutants borne in air and water. The longer lasting the protective coating, the longer lasting the life of the inner steel core.

It's been 15 years since Jared Fogle waltzed into a Subway and ordered his first 6-inch turkey sub — hold the cheese and mayo.
Now he flashes a Subway "black card" for free food, flies first-class and has an estimated net worth of about $15 million.
Not bad for a 35-year-old dad from central Indiana whose only claim to fame is losing a lot of weight eating the chain's sandwiches.
"I never expected any of this," Fogle told the Daily News. "I was a business major in college. I thought maybe I'd work for an ad agency or a PR firm."
Instead he wound up the famous face of Subway's longest-running campaign — the only adult job the Indianapolis native has ever known.
In the late '90s at Indiana University, Fogle was all but invisible. Tipping the scale at 425 pounds, he avoided friends and social events to save face, gobbling junk food alone in a dorm room.
"I knew you were supposed to go on dates and go to parties, but because I was so big, I just took myself out of the equation," says Fogle, who is 6-foot-2 and now weighs 200 pounds. "I didn't want to allow myself to be made fun of."
At McDonald's, he'd scarf down Double Quarter Pounder cheeseburgers and super-sized fries, and wash it all down with a couple of apple pies. He guzzled between 15 and 20 cans of soda each day, and a typical snack was two candy bars.
For dinner, Fogle loved a local Chinese buffet in Bloomington, Ind., where he would inhale three or four heaping plates of noodles and fried meats.
"The way I approached every meal was that I wanted to be completely full at the end," Fogle said. "That was my goal."
As his weight crept beyond 425 pounds, Fogle's sleep apnea worsened. He woke up every 10 to 15 minutes and went to class groggy and sleep-deprived.
Once, he even fell asleep at the wheel, waking immediately once he felt his car veer into the grass.
"I didn't hit anything, but it finally scared me enough," Fogle said.
Change began in his junior year, when Fogle moved off campus. In March of 1998, he walked into the Subway that happened to be attached to his off-campus apartment building and grabbed a nutrition brochure.
The Subway diet was his own idea — a 6-inch turkey sub for lunch and a full-length veggie sub for dinner, both meals with a bag of baked chips and a diet soda.
"The big thing was no mayo, no oil, no cheese," he said. "I did it for 11 months."
Fogle says he never got sick of eating Subway, but admits he craved pizza and cheeseburgers.
"In the early days, I had to literally hold onto the side of my chair, because if I had gotten up I would have gotten in my car and driven to the drive-thru," he says.
After three months, Fogle lost 94 pounds. In a year he shed 245 pounds, more than half his original body weight.
News of his transformation spread after his college newspaper published an article about weight loss. The astonishing photos — a trimmed-down Fogle posing with a pair of 60-inch-waist jeans he used to wear — attracted local media and magazines.
Soon Subway called. They flew him to California to film a commercial.
"It took off," Fogle said. "Two weeks after, Oprah wanted me on her show."
After 15 years, Fogle is "woven into the fabric of the brand," says Tony Pace, Subway's chief marketing officer.
"His story still resonates," Pace said. "It sounds a bit hokey, but we consider Jared an essential part of the family."
And when the brand needs a boost, Jared the Subway Guy is there.
After his first national commercial — he has since filmed more than 300 — Subway's sales shot up 20%. Overall, sales more than tripled to $11.5 billion in 2011, from around $3 billion in 1998, according to Nation's Restaurant News.
Pace says Fogle is to thank for one-third to one-half of Subway's growth in the past 15 years. The rest, he says, comes from its successful $5 foot-long promotions.
It's clear Subway has found its cash cow, but Fogle is quick to label the relationship as a win-win.
"I owe a lot to Subway," he said, but declined to put a dollar amount on the deal. "They've given me an amazing life in multiple ways."
Now his life revolves around interviews, cross-country trips to Subway franchises, speeches at schools and hospitals, and his charity to fight child obesity, The Jared Foundation. He spends free time with his wife and their 20-month-old son. The couple has another baby on the way.
Fogle still chows down on his signature turkey sub two or three times a week.
Sometimes he even adds a dash of mayo.
TIPS FROM SUBWAY'S EXECUTIVE CHEF
Get out of your regular order rut and be more creative with lunch. Subway's executive chef Chris Martone tipped off the Daily News on ordering off-menu options.
* Toast your veggies. Warming up toppings like spinach, onions and tomatoes gives them a different flavor and texture, Martone says.
* Add a second meat. "By combining chicken strips and ham, you can make a deconstructed chicken cordon bleu," Martone says.
* Warm it up. Customers can re-create Subway's classic hot sandwiches, like a tuna melt and a variation on a chicken parm sandwich, by toasting a combination of chicken strips, cheese and marinara sauce.
* Go regional. Subway stores are in more than 100 countries and have specialized menus catered to local tastes. Even within the U.S., different areas offer different options. Around New York City, we have marinated sweet peppers and hot sauce. In Chicago, giardiniera — a pickled carrot, cauliflower and jalapeño topping — is popular.
* Keep it basic. Most people don't think of it, but you can re-create a grilled cheese at Subway. Branches are required to carry five cheese choices, but which ones they pick vary by restaurant.
* Think seasonal. New York-area Subways just brought back avocado for the summer.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Attorney General Janet Reno said Thursday the Justice Department is trying to create competition so there will be alternatives to ``robber barons,'' even though it still buys computers installed with Microsoft Windows.
Reno told her weekly press conference that competition rather than bigness is the key to choice and innovation.
Reno was asked why the Justice Department buys tens of thousands of personal computers that run Windows, instead of encouraging competition by purchasing alternate operating systems. She replied that monopolies limit choice.
``I don't think that you endorse something by purchasing it, if that's the only game in town ... in terms of an effective machine, low price, the lowest price available,'' she said.
The judge in the Microsoft antitrust case has found that the company uses its monopoly power to keep competitors at bay. The Justice Department has asked the judge to split the company in two to help create competition in the marketplace, and he is expected to rule soon on a remedy.
``America was not made the industrial giant of the world by the robber barons alone,'' Reno said. ``It was made the industrial giant of the world by competition, by encouraging new developments, by encouraging young entrepreneurs to break into the market. It's the best system I've seen so far.''

Flexible floor lamp
The magneto floor lamp is a minimalistic and at the same time sophisticated floor lamp that can adapt flexibly to different light demands.
Thereby the operation of the lamp designed by Giulio Iacchetti in 2001, is as simple as it is ingenious: the height, angle and direction of the luminaire can be individually adjusted by a magnet. The bar with LED bulbs can be moved continuously on the desired position - all held by an unseen magnetic force.
The compact LED lamp of the Foscarini magneto spreads a precise and intense light downwards, ideally suitable to read or work. If the body is turned upwards, a space-filling, indirect light will emerge. Different light needs can be met in this way. The light’s intensity can can be adjusted on the individual needs with only one handle.
Colors & sizes
In addition to the magnetic floor lamp, the first draft by Giulio Iacchetti, there is the lamp as a small table lamp available in the colours black and white.

(WASHINGTON) — President Donald Trump addressed the nation Wednesday hours after Iran launched missile strikes on two bases in Iraq where U.S. forces were stationed, appearing to de-escalate the crisis by threatening additional sanctions on Iran but not immediate military retaliation.”Iran appears to be standing down which is a good thing for all parties concerned,” Trump said, as Vice President Mike Pence, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Defense Secretary Mark Esper and the Joint Chiefs stood behind him.”I’m pleased to inform you the American people should be extremely grateful and happy,” he said, noting that there were no casualties.Only minimal damage was sustained, he said, adding “an early warning system that worked very well.”The United States was ready to pursue peace with “all who seek it,” he said.The president spoke after Iran’s supreme leader said his country’s missile strikes had “slapped” the U.S.
Here is how the day after the strikes is unfolding. Please refresh for updates.
10:51 a.m. House Republican Leader says clear president had to take actionABC News’ Allison Pecorin reports that House Republican leaders fully support President Trump’s decision to kill the Iranian general and back the president’s foreign policy judgment.”Under this administration the strength of our foreign policy has made us safer, stronger and more respected around the globe,” Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy says. “It’s very clear the president had to take action.”Minority Whip Steve Scalise adds, “It was the right thing to do when President Trump gave the command to take out Soleimani,” Scalise said. “We are a safer world because a brutal terrorist has been removed from the planet.”
10:29 a.m. GOP chairman says Trump told him he stands ready to de-escalate Senate Armed Services Chairman James Inhofe tells ABC News’ Mariam Khan that he spoke with President Trump Tuesday night about 9 p.m. following Iran’s missile attacks which targeted U.S. forces in Iraq.During the conversation, Inhofe says Trump told him that, based on the fact that there were no U.S. casualties, he stands ready to de-escalate the situation and negotiate with Iran going forward.“This is going to open the door for negotiations,” Inhofe says. “I think he is taking it as an opportunity to not just de-escalate but start negotiations.”Republican Inhofe describes the president’s mood as “very, very positive.”Asked if Trump intends to make this clear in his expected speech this morning, Inhofe says he wouldn’t speak for the president.At the same time, a source tells ABC News’ Elizabeth McLaughlin that several key Republican senators spoke to President Trump last night about the need not to respond militarily as it appears that Iran was deliberately trying to avoid U.S. casualties with their attack.The senators recommended conciliatory language, the source says.
10:26 a.m. McConnell warns of Iran threat, Schumer calls Trump foreign policy ‘impulsive’Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell speaks on the Senate floor about the Iranian missile attack on U.S. forces.“We must remain vigilant in the face of serious threats posed by Tehran. Apparently, these strikes did not kill or wound Americans, but they demonstrate the significant progress Iran has made over the last decade in building a large, long-range, and accurate ballistic missile force,” McConnell says.Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer speaks after McConnell and also condemns the Iranian attacks.
At the same time, he says, “the American people do not want a war with Iran,” adding Trump did not have the authority to pursue one.10:08 a.m.ABC’s Jordyn Phelps reports from the White House that a senior administration official confirms the president met with members of his national security team Wednesday morning in the Situation Room.
9:31 a.m.The White House released an updated schedule for Vice President Mike Pence Wednesday morning, adding that he will join President Trump in the Grand Foyer of the White House for his 11 a.m. remarks.9:14 a.m.The White House released an updated schedule for the President Wednesday morning, adding that Trump will address the nation at 11 a.m. from the Grand Foyer of the White House, following an attack by Iran overnight on two bases in Iraq where U.S. troops are stationed.Earlier Wednesday, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said his country “slapped” the United States “on the face last night,” referring to the missile strikes against U.S. military forces in Iraq in retaliation for the killing of Iran’s most powerful commander.”But military action is not enough,” Khamenei said in a national televised address in Tehran on Wednesday, adding that the “corrupt presence of the U.S. in the region should come to an end.” His speech was followed by chants from the crowd, saying, “death to America.”Iran fired more than a dozen ballistic missiles into neighboring Iraq around 2 a.m. local time on Wednesday, targeting Iraqi military bases housing American troops and coalition forces, according to Pentagon spokesman Jonathan Hoffman.”These bases have been on high alert due to indications that the Iranian regime planned to attack our forces and interests in the region,” Hoffman said in a statement, noting that “we are working on initial battle damage assessments.””As we evaluate the situation and our response,” he added, “we will take all necessary measures to protect and defend U.S. personnel, partners and allies in the region.”Iraqi Prime Minister Adil Abdul Mahdi said in a statement that his office received “an official verbal message” from Iran shortly before midnight on Wednesday that the missile strikes would begin soon and would be limited to the whereabouts of U.S. forces, without specifying locations.A U.S. defense official told ABC News that 10 of the missiles struck the Ain al-Asad air base in western Iraq’s Anbar province and one hit a base in Erbil in Iraq’s semiautonomous Kurdish region. Four other missiles “failed in flight,” the official said.A source within the Kurdistan Regional Government told ABC News that three missiles were fired at Erbil International Airport and the nearby U.S.military base. Two of the rockets were shot down by anti-missile batteries while the third fell behind the airport but didn’t explode, the source said.The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, a branch of the Iranian Armed Forces, swiftly claimed responsibility for the strikes as throngs of people took to the streets of Tehran to celebrate.”We warn the Great Satan, the arrogant American regime, that any new invasions and aggression will result in more painful and pounding responses,” the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said in a statement.Later, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif wrote on Twitter that his country took “proportionate measures in self-defense Article 51 of” the Charter of the United Nations.”We do not seek escalation or war, but will defend ourselves against any aggression,” Zarif said.Meanwhile, Iranian Minister of Information and Communications Technology Mohammad-Javad Azari Jahromi tweeted, “Get the hell out of our region!”A U.S. official and a senior Trump administration official told ABC News that early indications are there were no American casualties from the strikes. According to U.S. sources, the troops were in bunkers at the time of the attacks.U.S. President Donald Trump took to Twitter late Tuesday night to assure Americans that “all is well.””So far, so good!” he tweeted. “We have the most powerful and well equipped military anywhere in the world, by far!”Iraq’s prime minister also said they haven’t received any reports of Iraqi casualties so far. In a statement posted to social media Wednesday, Abdul Mahdi urged both sides to “not engage in open warfare” and “to exercise restraint.”Amid the escalating tensions, a growing number of international air carriers have decided to suspend or reroute flights to avoid the airspace over Iran and Iraq.The attacks occurred just hours after Iran’s foreign minister told ABC News that the United States “will pay” for the death of Maj. Gen. Qassem Soleimani, longtime leader of the elite Quds Force in Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.Officials with the U.S. Department of Defense have confirmed that Trump ordered the airstrike that killed Soleimani near Baghdad International Airport on Jan. 2.Over the past 20 years, Soleimani had led the Quds Force in operations throughout the region, backing Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and supporting Shiite militia groups in Iraq, including against U.S. troops during the Iraq War. The U.S. Department of State said Soleimani’s forces are responsible for the deaths of hundreds of American troops because of the kind of explosive devices they helped bring to Iraq. The United States designated Soleimani a terrorist in 2011 under then-President Barack Obama.The Trump administration has argued that Soleimani’s death was critical to foiling “imminent attacks” that the Iranian commander was helping to plot against U.S. personnel in the region. The administration has provided no evidence of those plans.On the weekend after the U.S. airstrike, the Iranian government announced it will no longer abide by any of the operational restraints on its nuclear program under the deal, from which the Trump administration withdrew the United States in May 2018.Hundreds of thousands of people have taken to the streets of Tehran and other cities across Iran in recent days to mourn Soleimani and show support for the Iranian government. The massive crowds have voiced anger at the U.S. airstrike and have hailed the slain general as a national hero.Copyright © 2020, ABC Audio. All rights reserved.

Building a Brilliant Brief Library – Josh Blandi Writes in Lawyerist
We’re excited to see Josh Blandi’s new article Building a Brilliant Brief Library: Your How-To Guide published in Lawyerist. Much like his article Making the Most of Attorney Advertising with Court Data that shares practical tips on how to leverage legal analytics to boost business development efforts, Josh provides readers with a how-to-guide for building a brief library incorporating filings from the most experienced lawyers and how to stay one step ahead of opposing counsel.
Here below is an excerpt from Josh’s latest article:
Whether you’re starting a new law firm or looking to enhance your litigation practice, taking the time and effort to create a repository of briefs, motions, and complaints you can use as templates on a moment’s notice will improve your profitability and save valuable time that you can invest in business development or providing actual legal advice.
In this article, we’ll cover the basics of building your own brief library, from tips on finding the best available documents to developing winning strategies to stay one step ahead of opposing counsel in litigation.
Building Your Brief Library
When building your brief library, it’s best to start with a defined scope. For example, it’s important to start by articulating what practice area(s) you fit into, what case type(s) you’re focusing on within your practice area(s), and whether there are other profitable areas ripe with litigation for your practice’s expansion. Once you know the practice areas and case types for which you want to build libraries, it’s time to start looking for leading litigators in that field.
Beyond searching for briefs from lawyers featured prominently on billboards around town or those appearing on Google’s first page of results, you can use legal analytics to decide which lawyers handle what volume of cases in your area. While not always an indicator of legal acumen, lawyers in your area with vast case volumes will likely have developed templated filings to handle their massive caseloads.
