Queensland's reputation as Australia's most right-leaning state received a boost with its 2016 Senate result, when Pauline Hanson's spectacular comeback brought a second One Nation seat in her wake. In the era of six-year half-Senate elections, encompassing nine elections from 1990 to 2013, Labor only won a third seat with Kevin Rudd's statewide triumph in 2007, and the Greens have only won seats at their high water mark in 2010 and with the 2016 double dissolution. The Coalition also recorded the unprecedented feat, in Queensland or anywhere else, of winning four out of six seats in 2004, when the Liberal ticket won three seats and a fourth was won by the Nationals, whose lead candidate was a debutante Barnaby Joyce. The only occasion the Coalition failed to win a third spot was when One Nation won a seat in 1998.
The result at the 2016 double dissolution was orthodox in that the Coalition won five seats (in this case three Liberal and two Nationals) and Labor four, in common with New South Wales, Victoria and Western Australia. Its unusual feature was in One Nation winning the final spot ahead of either the Greens or a micro-party, with a strong flow of preferences progressively pushing their second candidate ahead of other contenders including Family First and the Liberal Democrats. The allocation of long and short terms gave six-year terms to two Labor and two Liberal Senators, and one each from the Nationals and One Nation. Three-year terms went to two Senators from Labor, and one each from the Liberals, Nationals, Greens and One Nation. One of the long-term Liberals, George Brandis, resigned in March 2018 to become High Commissioner to the United Kingdom, and was succeeded by Amanda Stoker.
The business end of the Liberal National Party ticket is occupied entirely by newcomers, following preselection defeats for Ian Macdonald and Barry O'Sullivan, the two incumbents who were allocated three-year terms. Macdonald put in a determined bid for another term, nominating for every Liberal-designated position on the ticket and promoting himself as the only candidate from north Queensland candidate. However, his defeat was widely anticipated, since he is now 73 and would have been 79 by the end of another six-year term, and was given to understand this would be his final term when he ran for preselection in 2016. Unsuccessful candidates for the position included Scott Emerson, the former minister in Campbell Newman's government who lost the seat of Maiwar to the Greens in the November 2017 state election. Conversely, the margin of O'Sullivan's defeat in the vote for the Nationals' designated second position was rated something of a surprise, and was suffered by a margin of one vote.
The new lead candidate is Liberal-aligned Paul Scarr, Brisbane-based executive for mining company PanAust. Scarr has a reputation as a moderate, having spoken against a motion calling for a Donald Trump-inspired suspension of immigration from Muslim countries at the party's state convention in 2017.
The Nationals-aligned candidate in second position is Susan McDonald, managing director of the Super Butcher chain of butcher's shops and member of a Queensland grazing dynasty. Her father, Don McDonald, was state and federal president of the National Party in the 1990s, and she herself was its state secretary for a period before the merger in 2008.
The Liberal-aligned third candidate is Gerard Rennick, an accountant who described himself as a “protectionist nationalist”, and said Australia should consider developing nuclear weapons to deter China and forge closer ties with Russia.
The two Labor Senators who were designated three year terms after the 2016 election were Claire Moore, who is not seeking another term after a Senate career going back to 2002, and Chris Ketter, who is recontesting. The preselection was conducted at the party's state conference last August, after the state party was hurried along by a national executive concerned the Liberal leadership crisis might initiate a snap election. In doing so it bypassed the ballot that was granted to the party membership under rule changes in 2013.
The top position on the ticket, which is reserved to the Left faction, is occupied by newcomer Nita Green, a former staffer to Senator Murray Watt who had backing from the Construction Forestry Mining and Energy Union and United Voice. The selection of the Brisbane-based Green was contentious as party rules reserved a position for a regional representative, although she has committed to moving away from Brisbane when elected. There were further complaints from supporters of rival Left candidate Tania Major, a Cairns-based indigenous youth advocate and protege of Cape York leader Noel Pearson, who said they had been ambushed by a factional ballot process that allowed only a three-day nominations period before voting began. Other nominees for Left endorsement were Leanne Donaldson, who held the state seat of Bundaberg from 2015 until her defeat in 2017, and Julie McGlone, marketing executive for Tourism Australia.
The second position, which is reserved to the dominant Labor Forum sub-faction of the Right, has been retained by incumbent Chris Ketter. A former state secretary of the Shop Distributive and Allied Employees Association, Ketter was first elected from the top position on the ticket in 2013, but was only granted fourth position at the 2016 double dissolution. The cancellation of the party membership vote last year saw off a challenge from Pat O'Neill, former army major and candidate for Brisbane in 2016, although he was reportedly unlikely to win in any case.
In third place is Frank Gilbert, a former Mackay councillor and candidate for Dawson in 2016, and a member of the Old Guard sub-faction of the Right.
The election marks a comeback bid for Malcolm Roberts, the second candidate elected from the One Nation ticket in 2016, after a High Court ruling in October 2017 disqualified him and four other Senators, in his case due to dual British citizenship acquired by descent through his British-born father. Roberts was formerly a mining engineer, and came to prominence in right-wing politics as the leader of the Galileo Movement, a climate skeptic outfit that drew support from such figures in the movement as Alan Jones, Ian Plimer, David Flint and Lord Christopher Monckton. His own statements regarding climate change attributed it to a conspiracy promoted by the United Nations and a “cabal” of bankers.
In second place on the One Nation ticket is Steve Dickson, who held the state seat of Buderim for One Nation for most of 2017, having previously been a Liberal National Party member since 2012. However, Dickson announced his withdrawal as a One Nation candidate after the closure of nominations, thanks to footage that emerged of him at a strip club in which he ventured on the sexual deficiencies of “Asian chicks”.
The Greens' lead candidate is the party's only Queensland incumbent, Larissa Waters, a former Environmental Defenders Office who became the Queensland Greens' first ever elected member when she won a Senate seat at the 2010 election, which remains the party's best performance to date. She was re-elected as the party's lead candidate at the 2016 double dissolution, but her career was interrupted early in the life of the Section 44 crisis, four days after Scott Ludlam's resignation in July 2017 over his dual New Zealand citizenship. Waters' difficulty arose from her birth in Canada, to Australian parents who returned shortly afterwards, and her erroneous belief that her Canadian citizenship entitlement had expired because she failed to take active steps to secure it before she returned 21. She was succeeded on a recount by the second candidate on the ticket in 2016, former Australian Democrats leader Andrew Bartlett, but returned in December after Bartlett made way for her, in keeping with the party's convention that outgoing Senators relinquish their seats to their preselected successors ahead of the election. Waters easily won the preselection vote ahead of Ben Pennings, anti-Adani campaigner and lord mayoral candidate. Bartlett will run for the party in the lower house seat of Brisbane.
Another incumbent seeking re-election is Fraser Anning, who was elected as a candidate of One Nation but will contest the election at the head of his own outfit, Fraser Anning's Conservative National Party. Anning is a former Gladstone hotel operator who was the third candidate on the One Nation ticket in 2016, and came to the Senate in November 2017 after winning the party's second seat on the countback that followed Malcolm Roberts' disqualification. He quit One Nation on the day he was sworn into the Senate, although on his own account he was effectively expelled. Anning has since gained considerably publicity by positioning himself still further to the right of One Nation, attending a rally in Melbourne led by neo-Nazi activist Blair Cottrell in January, and responding to the Christchurch massacre in March by saying the killings illustrated “the link between Muslim immigration and violence”. A day after the latter incident, Anning was egged by 17-year-old William Connolly while addressing the media and supporters in Melbourne, prompting an attack on Connolly by Anning's supporters.
Also in the field is Clive Palmer, the mining magnate and former National Party official who achieved short-lived electoral success in 2013 through the Palmer United Party, resulting in his own election to the lower house seat of Fairfax and the election of three of his party's candidates to the Senate. Internal dissolution and Palmer's business troubles reduced the party to a very marginal presence by the time of the 2016 election, but he has lately poured millions of dollars into publicising his comeback bid through a new vehicle, the United Australia Party. Palmer originally declared himself set on contesting the Townsville-based lower house seat of Herbert, though he may have underestimated enduring hostility towards him there over the collapse of his company Queensland Nickel, leading to many job losses and a failure by Palmer to pay workers' entitlements. He announced he would instead contest a Senate seat at the end of the first week of the election campaign.

Posted Tuesday, December 09, 2003 | Review this album | Report (Review #22501)
Review by Sean Trane
SPECIAL COLLABORATOR Prog Folk
Keeping the Apocalypse line-up intact (minus the orchestra, of course) and adding a brass section, which will be playing the whole of Apocalypse at the Festival of Montreux in 74 (now available on DVD); VotEB is more a return to the fiery force of the debut album, even if we could call this album jazz-funk, rather than jazz-rock. Indeed with Miles' Big Fun, Weather Report's Mysterious Traveller, the jazz rock thing had now shifted to jazz-funk, partly because of Vitous' departure (replaced by Afro-American Alfonso Johnson) from WR and in MO's case Laird's replacement with another Afro-American Ralph Armstrong. Sooooo, keeping the Apocalypse quintet, plus the small string section also present on that album, Mc also hired a brass section, that had played in concerts previous to this album, among which the Montreux Festival of 74 (on DVD), where the full Apocalypse was played and the brass had to invent their own role. Graced with a superb artwork, reminiscent of BoF, this album returns to more sober form of jazz-rock, consisting of shorter tracks (except for the opener conveniently split in two), but does often fray into funk territory as well, which was not only keeping with the times but also suggesting the next album.
One of the most striking feature in this album is the presence of much singing, done by Gayle Moran, backed mostly by Narada (he would sing he Inner World) and to a lesser extent Armstrong and Mc himself. The opening 8-mins Eternity's Breath certainly contains loads of signing (all things considered for MO), but retains the same great spirit of their previous works, the only negative remark I have is for Ponty's too strident violin parts in the closing minutes. Lila's Dance starts on an ascending riff, again reminiscent of MkI, but soon drifts into bizarre (at first) break where Ponty rules, then Mc takes over with a Hendrix
passage before both take up the opening ascending riff in unison answered by the brass section, before slowly segueing into Can't Stand Your Funk, where the brass section and strings make this track something grandiose, much like Papa Was A Rollin Stone. With evocative bird singing and Ponty's violin, backed up by the string section (Hirsh's cello works wonders in setting bass drones when needed), Pastoral is almost a rip off from Stravinsky's Rites of Spring and Beethoven's Sixth. The same birds lead us into the guitar arpeggios of Faith, before Armstrong and Narada take the debate up to Ponty's violin and a weird ending.
The flipside, which is something I consider a side-long suite, not only because of the space-theme track titles, but songs melting into each other, the flipside starts on the funky Narada-penned Cosmic Strut, which directly shows the funk of its mood, with again a great brass section underlining and strings backing up, but I find nothing cosmic into it. The atrocious but thankfully short If I Could See (where Moran's soprano vocals are cringey) leads into the 200 mph Be Happy where the group is obviously so through the many chord changes in the closing section. Earth Ship is a very calm track, sung by Gayle over her electric piano and accompanied by a lovely flute and Mc's gentle guitar, shares a pure ethereal beauty and leading us into the short Pegasus and its almost Gong-like space whispers, complemented by the ultra short Strav-like Opus 1, before Mc's mean guitar sends us light years away aboard his spaceship, shooting the hell out of interfering path-crossing asteroids, before landing us back into our seats, where Cosmic Strut had torn us from.
Partly because of the increase in vocal content, shorter tracks and the funk element, I had long seen this album as a lesser ingredient of MO's oeuvre and the first signs of decrepitude, but this album is grower on me of late. While not of IMF, BoF, BNaE, LTS and Apocalypse's calibre, VotEB remains a jewel in MO's crown of king of progressive jazz-rock.

"The quality of a person’s life is in direct proportion to their commitment to excellence, regardless of their chosen field of endeavor.”– Vince Lombardi
How much time does it take to commit to something that matters to you?
Is it in an instant?
Or does it take a bit of persistence... a bit of hemming and hawing?
When I found yoga, through a class just like this one you see below, which many may say is not even yoga...but
I'll come back to that.
Anyway, when I found this practice, I leapt on the wagon with no regrets.
Full commitment, yoga every day.
I used to be like that. All in or all out. And that kind of mentality got me to where I am today: a yoga teacher online and in Los Angeles.
And all it took was a 15 minute abs class.
Over time, of course, we all change. We have different lives, different priorities, and I am no longer that person who berates herself for missing a class, though I still try to get on my mat daily.
Whether yoga look like this 10 minute plank class or an hour long vinyasa.
Because, for all those naysayers out there, yoga is not, in fact, the series of poses you practice on the mat.
The asana, or postures, is only one part.
You can find yoga in any workout, because yoga is your lifestyle, your mindset, your presence in the practice.
Whatever the practice looks like.
So, have you committed to your practice yet?
Consistent dates with you mat?
A little bit of work every (or most) day(s) that will lead you toward being a better and healthier version of yourself?
What is your yoga story? Please share by hitting reply and let me know!

Haven’t heard of Ross Bennett? Yeah, you’re not alone
Performing with Jon Bramnick this weekend will be the very funny, highly talented stand up comic legend, the great Ross Bennett. Haven't heard of him? He said he gets that a lot.
He's living in Jersey and performing along side our friend, Assembly Leader Jon Bramnick. Gotta give John credit for taking the heat on the gas tax. He knows how unpopular it is and at least is able to poke fun at himself for voting for it. Bennett discussed how upset he was about the tax noting that NJ had one great thing going for it, cheap gas! During the show I introduced the comic to Jessica Nutt who is planning several upcoming comedy events for charity. Check Ross Bennett out at the Stress Factory tonight and tomorrow.
And look for him on stage with me and Jessica in the near future...next time I'll tell him #TheMuffinJoke.

Consumer Safety the Focus of New Regulations for Pharmacies
Labels to feature larger type; pharmacies to provide interpretive language services
March 4, 2011
Kimberly Brown – (916) 574-8167
SACRAMENTO - Coinciding with National Consumer Protection Week, March 6 - 12, the California State Board of Pharmacy wants consumers to know that it will soon be easier to read the labels on their prescription drug medications. New regulations require pharmacies to use a larger typeface in an effort to reduce the number of medication errors caused by misreading the label. In addition, consumers with little or no English proficiency will be able to receive oral interpretive services at pharmacies for help in understanding how to take their medications.
The new regulations took effect on January 1, 2011, and pharmacies have been converting to the new format. California is the first state to establish requirements for prescription drug labels that give prominence to the information most important to consumers.
Labels must now feature a larger typeface–a minimum of 10-point typeface must be used and consumers may request 12-point type. Labels also must display key information in a set order: patient's name, drug name and strength, directions for use, and purpose of the medication, if stated on the prescription. To enhance visibility, the information may be bolded, highlighted in color, or set off by white space for ease of reading.
"The patient-centered label is designed to help cut down on medication errors," said Stan Weisser, Board of Pharmacy President. "We believe having the information prominently displayed in a standardized order on the label will help ensure medications are used safely and appropriately."
For consumers with little or no English proficiency, the new regulations require pharmacies to provide an oral translation of a medication's directions for use in a patient's language if interpretive services in such language are available. Translation services may be provided in person or by phone, but those services must be provided by the pharmacy during all hours that the pharmacy is open.
Before developing the new regulations, the Board of Pharmacy surveyed the public to determine what improvements to labels were most wanted by consumers. Over sixty percent indicated a preference for larger font size and bolder type.
Samples of a new prescription bottle label are posted on the Board of Pharmacy's web site, www.pharmacy.ca.gov. For more information on prescription drug safety, consumers are urged to watch the Board's video, "Right Drug, Right Dose," which is posted on the Department of Consumer Affairs' YouTube channel.

While African tribes inhabited Angola for untold centuries, their lands never constituted a single nation in the distant past. The modern history of Angola begins with the arrival of Portuguese explorers in the late 1400’s, on their way to find a way around Africa to India. Portugal founded Luanda in 1575, and this began 400 years of colonial rule by Portugal.
Portugal extracted as many natural resources out of Angola as they could and was the most notorious of all slave-trading European nations. Their rule over Angola was oppressive, and they held onto their colonies longer than most other colonial powers did after World War II.
The war for independence in Angola began in 1961, but it was the uprising of 1974 that ultimately led to independence being won and recognised by 11 November, 1975.

Cryovac pork smells bad when it defrosts because it is scented with chemicals.
The stink originates in the ingredients used to create the aroma. Raspberry-scented pork is an example of something that smells great when made as an edible product but awful when made as a decorative arrangement.
So, why does cryovac pork smell bad? While it’s great that cryovac pork is safe to eat, it smells bad!
While it may not be dangerous, it can be unpleasant to smell. Since the pork is shrink-wrapped in plastic, it has nowhere to go.
The smell eventually makes its way through the plastic, and it’s enough to cover an entire room. This smell also comes from the pork’s natural juices and fats, which leak out during the freezing process.
While the cryovac method does make shipping cheaper, this smell is one reason people prefer fresh pork to frozen pork.
How Long Does Cryovac Pork Usually Last?
Overall, the shelf life of frozen pork is generally proportional to the shelf life of fresh pork.
If you simply defrost the pig and cook it, you’ll be fine as long as the meat stays at 40 degrees Fahrenheit or lower.
If it becomes warm, bacteria will find its way into the meat and break down the proteins into amino acids and sugars that create ammonia gas, which smells bad.
So, while it doesn’t require refrigeration, you should store your frozen hog as soon as possible or put it in the refrigerator immediately after purchase.
How Long Does Cryovac Pork Last in the Refrigerator?
Cryovac Pork will stay in the fridge for up to a week from the date of packaging as long as it is properly wrapped and stored appropriately.
If the packaging is kept intact and the meat is still cold enough, it can last much longer before it begins to rot or lose flavor.
Why Does Cryovac Pork Smell Bad?
Storage Time Exceeds Prescribed Limit
Even though Cryovac is compact and easy to carry with you, once thawed and opened at home, the meat needs to be refrigerated within two hours.
If you keep your pork in a plastic bag for longer than that and then place it in the refrigerator, the aromas that escape will permeate your fridge and make it stink.
This deterioration in meat quality is more pronounced when temperatures are high.
As a result, it is essential that you transfer your pig from the plastic bag into a tightly sealed container immediately once it has been opened, or you will risk compromising its quality and taste.
The Presence of the Androstenone Gene in Meat
Some pig species naturally produce an odorous chemical called androgens during their lifetime.
Unfortunately, some of these odors can be released into the air when the meat thaws.
This gene is similar to the gene that produces aroma in beef but has a different effect on a pig’s skin tissue.
When the meat thaws, the gene makes it smell bad, but it doesn’t change how good the meat is overall.
Pork generated from male pigs that carry the Androgen gene releases more of this chemical than female pigs that do not carry it.
Inadequate Cryovac Meat Storage
To keep the freshness of the meat, it must stay below 40 degrees Fahrenheit at all times after thawing.
If this situation is not maintained, there is a high likelihood of the meat going bad due to bacterial contamination.
And, when the pig begins to rot, it releases a pungent smell that makes the entire room stink.
The Package Has Tiny Air Holes
There is a chance that the plastic bag that holds your pork has tiny air holes that can let oxygen in and allow bacteria to grow.
It might occur by chance if the bag was poorly manufactured. However, this also exposes the meat to spoilage more quickly than usual.
Because of these small flaws, air and bacteria are able to get through the packaging and into the pork itself.
This could lead to big problems with smell once the package is opened and the air inside is contaminated.
Pork Meat Nearing Expiration
As previously noted, fresh pork has a shelf life of around four to five days.
If you leave it out at room temperature, there is a high likelihood that it will spoil within a few days and lose most of its flavor.
If you pack this rotting meat, the smell it gives off may be so bad that you have to throw it away before you can eat it.
So, it’s very important to buy your pork from a butcher with a good reputation for selling high-quality meats and who sells their meats in packages that keep air out.
Poor Pork Meat Quality
It’s likely that the original pig was sick and given antibiotics at some point during its life or right before it was killed.
The meat’s quality may consequently be compromised, and it may emit an unpleasant odor when you cook it.
For instance, the animal may have had a parasite in its intestines that made it hard for it to digest.
If and when this occurs, the same faults that lead to the rotten smell occur when the pig is slaughtered.
How to Keep Cryovac Pork From Turning Bad
Fumigate the Storage Areas and Your Refrigerator.
As a last resort, try fumigating your refrigerator with ammonia to get rid of any smells that may have built up over time because of food particles and other organic matter.
This technique will assist you in killing all the germs present in the refrigerator and removing the smell of ammonia from the interior surfaces, including the fridge door seal.
If you can do this before putting your meat away, you greatly reduce the chance that it will go bad or give off a strong smell when you cook it.
Maintain the Proper Temperature and Storage Duration
Obviously, you should learn to cook the meat as soon as you bring it home from the store so that the smelly gases from the rotting flesh don’t get into the air inside your fridge.
I’ve previously said that the pork may stay fresh for around four to five days if you store it properly in the fridge.
The same is true for the freezer. However, you should only freeze your pork for a maximum of two months before throwing it out.
Strengthen the Cryovac Packaging
As was already said, if there are small problems with how the meat is packaged, it may start to smell bad as it ages in the freezer.
So, it’s important to check the package before putting it in the freezer to make sure that the packaging material is still whole and hasn’t been damaged before it was sealed with a vacuum seal machine.
This makes it impossible for oxygen from the outside to get into the package through tiny holes made in the material by rough handling or using too much force when sealing.
Before Storing the Pork, Thoroughly Wash and Dry It.
By thoroughly cleaning and drying the pig before you freeze it, you remove most of the surface bacteria (including the E. coli).
Make sure to remove any blood spots present on the meat as well by wiping them off with a clean cloth after washing them thoroughly with water and a disinfectant solution.
Before Storing the Pork Meat, Inspect It.
The hog should be checked for the first time right after it is bought to make sure it has not been exposed to any diseases or parasites during its life.
Before storing the Cryovac pork in your refrigerator, make sure that you check for signs of spoilage such as mold or discoloration of the meat, as well as the presence of rodent droppings.
Check that it seems fresh and free of maggots or insects as well before you store it in the appliance.
To thoroughly check the package, open it up and remove some of the inner contents of the cryovac bag in order to inspect the contents inside for any visible contamination, leakages, or tears in the material.
Also Read: Pork Ribs Smell Like Rotten Eggs
In conclusion, cryovac pork smells bad for a few reasons.
First, the pork is heavier than air. As a result, it sinks to the bottom of the bags.
Second, it’s often stored for a while in warehouses before it’s sold. During this time, the bacteria in the pork multiply rapidly.
Finally, the cryovac machine compresses the pork into thin sheets and seals them shut. This seals the pork’s odor inside and speeds up oxidation.
Hopefully, this clears up the mystery about why cryovac pork smells bad.

Summer is over and fall is getting colder. The facts are the facts. Most of us don’t go out to paint when the temperature is below 50o. For some of us there is a narrow band of comfort between 60o and 75o. (You know who you are!)
I have cold weather gear. I walk my dog every day all winter. I just don’t paint outside in that kind of weather. I’ve tried , but it never ends well.
One April I entered the Dublin Area Art League plein air competition. The day’s high was 48o. The sun was shining when I left my house but that was the last I saw of it all day. It’s one thing to be cold and moving , but standing in one place on cold ground is not fun. Frozen feet, frozen brain, lousy painting. That was the worst piece I ever turned in for a competition. The only consolation was a hot cup of soup afterwards.
My friend Marianne is an intrepid plein air painter. She paints in the snow and I asked if I could go with her some time. We decided the temperature needed to be in the 30’s so the paint didn’t gum up. Ideally it would be a day with a little sun. Do you know how many days we have like that in Ohio??? Not many. So one day when we had a light coating of snow, we decided to drive about 40 miles north in hopes of enchanted rural scenes. Alas, the farther we went, the less snow there was. Also alas, my easel had a wonky leg. We found a nice little scene, but it was hard to paint while holding up my easel, keeping blowing snow out of my eyes, and trying to ignore the cold. Not good.
This spring and summer getting outside to paint and socialize made all the other 2020 craziness bearable. I met friends at least once a week. We’d paint for a few hours and then lunch. Once the mornings got cooler in the fall, we flipped the process with lunch first and then painting. That lasted a few weeks.
Now the fall color is waning. The coming weeks will get colder and grayer. Even when you get a warm day, scenes will be bleak. How are we going to cope? With the pandemic we’ll each have to toil away in isolation, touching base mostly online. We may come out of our dens for a walk in the brisk air when we can.
I know I still need to give the brushes a workout or regress in my skills over winter. Here are the options as I see them:
- Use some plein air paintings as studies for studio paintings. Maybe. Not really excited by that idea.
- Paint from photos. I have scads of photos that could be sources for paintings. I need to get better at cropping and editing for better composition. I can see that happening after I spend a copious amount of time choosing a photo.
- Set up still life arrangements to paint from life indoors. Nope. Not happening. Not a fan of still life.
- Study. Copy paintings by the master’s just for practice. Sean Wang taught a class where he had us do that – quick small studies and then one or two larger ones. I might play with that a bit. Couldn’t hurt
- Take an online class. The right kind of class could strengthen skills and be inspiring. I need one with some accountability, not a DIY tutorial.
- Switch to another medium; maybe do some watercolor paintings or colored pencil.
- Go abstract. Take a scene and boil it down to basics. Then switch up the colors or placement of elements. Might be fun.
- Make greeting cards. Geometrics, prints, watercolors, colored pencil, and mixed media all make nice cards. I’m never sure if this is legit creative work or just a cop-out thing to do instead of “real painting.”
- Try to paint portraits. I’ve dabbled with this a bit. The results look human at least, but not necessarily like the person I’m trying to paint.
- Curl up with a blanket and You Tube painting videos. I might accidentally learn something, but chances are better if I’m actually doing something. Not a good option, but very tempting.

The Mexican regional interpreter was questioned about it in the program joy comewhere he pointed out that he prefers not to remain “stuck in the past” and to think more about the present.
“I personally think that 4 years have passed, so to continue focusing on the past, what already was, what I can’t change iteverything that has been our relationship in general or thinking about what I’m going to say or in the future, no, I prefer to be in the present”, said the vocalist of The Trakalosa from Monterrey.
The singer of songs like notice yes Y if you don’t love me anymore denied holding grudges against zero souland said he was ready to have a cordial relationship with the actress from Lagunilla, my neighborhood if one day you can find it anywhere.

“I don’t take anything bad, no comments, if at some point we run into each other we greet each other and everything, I am of that idea, at least on my part.”
When asked about if he ever physically assaulted the actress -who suffered another separation in 2021– The 34-year-old musician claimed to feel calm and denied that this has happened.

Propel releases AI-based “media war room”; Muck Rack has AI recommending reporters to PR; PRophet partners to bring influencer marketing and media alerts; Did you know Gartner has a Market Guide for Employee Communications?
One of the oldest uses, and perhaps most valuable uses, is in media monitoring. Much of this is based on natural language processing or NLP, that’s been employed, with varying degrees of accuracy, for many years.
So, as I was pouring over the news from the vendors in our space this month, it was nice to see a couple of use cases that were focused on other aspects of AI.
Onward with this month’s PR Tech Sum.
1. AI hunts bias in a new “media war room” by Israeli startup Propel
Propel, an Israeli startup that’s building out an all-in-one PR platform, has packaged its software into an offering it’s calling the “Media War Room” that leverages AI for managing crisis communications.
According to the announcement, the Media War Room “uses the company’s proprietary AI to enable these communicators to quickly understand the media landscape, create accurate responses, and come up with a strategy that keeps their organizations ahead of the headlines and in control of the narrative.”
The company says it offers “real-time bias monitoring” that provides a “snapshot of biased vs. non-biased press” alongside other analytics. The tool can also be used to produce AI-generated content including emails and tweets to refute misinformation.
“Time is of the essence when a crisis occurs, be it a war, a catastrophic event at a factory, or a security leak,” according to the news release. “Beyond mitigating the physical or cyber damage, there is also a fight to ensure that an organization’s reputational damage is mitigated.”
Propel, which is headquartered in Tel Aviv said its technology is currently being used by elements of the Israeli government and NGOs in its armed conflict with Hamas.
2. Muck Rack AI recommends reporters to PR
Muck Rack says a proprietary AI will now create a curated list of recommended journalists based on your existing media list. A blog post published online said its platform will “generate a tailored list of recommended journalists wherever you’re adding contacts. Muck Rack will provide five contact suggestions when you opt for the Recommended Journalists feature.”
The company also has “integrated background filters to fine-tune results, and as the tool learns your preferences, it will further optimize its suggestions to ensure the most relevant journalists are surfaced.”
How accurate is it? “Overall, 36% of journalists that we recommend to our users end up being added to media lists, which has amounted to 40,000 additions.” That’s basically adding about one-third more possible relevant contacts to your list.
Muck Rack has always taken a different approach to compiling media lists. As I noted in a product briefing back in 2020, the product workflow is designed to begin list building with searches for recent coverage on a topic.
This sharp contrast to the way many traditional media databases work: where some underpaid non-native-English speaking person living off-shore has designated a reporter to a beat, like “tech” which is too broad to be meaningful and leads to a deluge of PR spam for reporters.
The company also rolled out coverage spikes. “Muck Rack detects an increased article volume in an automated coverage report so your team can investigate and take necessary action if needed,” according to the announcement.
Other tools have offered coverage spikes for years. One catch among some of the incumbents is that some vendors will charge additional fees for coverage spikes over a certain threshold. The classic example of this is an airline that has an untimely delay with a plane and passengers stuck on the tarmac – and mentions on social media and news explodes.
These do take up processing and storage powers, so some vendors slap on additional costs. So, when PR is in the worst possible situation – and surprises them with an unexpectedly high invoice.
3. PRophet partners up to expand capabilities
PRophet a startup-ish PR platform has expanded its capability largely through partnerships. It’s added influencer marketing, media monitoring and press release distribution capabilities through partnerships. The company has also developed a PR sandbox of sorts using AI to test messages and content performance before sending or publishing them.
- Influencer marketing capabilities are “powered by Koalifyed, an influencer discovery and campaign management platform.” It “combines generative AI, data analytics, and monitoring technology to create personalized influencer marketing programs by identifying, contracting, and collaborating with macro and micro-influencers”;
- Media alerts are offered through a partnership with PeakMetrics. This provides “the ability to create personalized alerts across a diversity of media channels from within the PRophet platform”;
- Press release distribution is possible through a partnership with EZ Newswire.; and finally,
- PR sandbox – called PRophet Earn – adds to existing predictive capabilities PRophet already offers. It “uses a combination of AI, language processing and machine learning to generate, analyze and test new content – from pitches to social posts, blogs and biographies – to predict earned media interest, reach and sentiment.
PRophet is part of a larger company called Stagwell (NASDAQ: STGW), which also owns Koalifyed. Both products are organized under a “Comms Tech Unit,” which is led by PRophet founder Aaron Kwittken.
I took a close look at PRophet back in March of this year and wrote up a briefing – have a look if it sounds interesting: This AI is ‘Taylor’ made for media relations; prophet adds generative AI to PR software.
4. Gartner releases a Market Guide for Employee Communications
Employee communications platform Poppulo published a press release stating that it was named in a “Market Guide” by Gartner. I had no idea such a thing existed, but Poppulo has paid for reprint rights to download the report, so I did.
The first “finding” in the report? “Corporate communications, marketing communications and HR leaders use employee communications applications (ECAs) to inform the workforce about business activities, cultural topics, operational needs and job-related priorities.”
So I flipped to the end to see the “representative list of vendors” and it has FirstUp and Staffbase in there too. Yet it also has companies like Zoom and Meta, which do provide some tools to communicate and are not, in my view, employee communications platforms.
The full report makes several recommendations, including, “Reduce technology overlaps to improve employee experience and measurement efforts by prioritizing multichannel integration and specialized ECA capabilities that address high-impact business scenarios.”
“Market Guides” are typically emerging markets for technology that Gartner doesn’t think are large enough to merit its infamous “Magic Quadrant” report – but there’s enough traction they want to start keeping tabs on it.
While I don’t think Gartner has the expertise or influence in comms that it might in other markets, if you are in the market for an internal comms platform, it can’t hurt to download the report and have a look.
5. PR tech mentions
- Meltwater releases “winter” updates. Winter may not officially begin until the 21st day of December, but that didn’t stop Meltwater from publishing a press release announcing its “Winter Product Release” updates. The release pitches eight bullet point changes including the “Discovery Explainer” which “analyzes trends and shifts that users need to know about and leverages the power of generative AI to generate a human-like text explanation to provide context in seconds.”
- CisionOne launches in the US. Cision says it rolled out a tool in the US called CisionOne. The company says the new platform is built on “proprietary artificial intelligence (AI) models” however, it did not use the word “generative” in its descriptions. When the company announced CisonOne in the UK, it referred to it as a “media monitoring” product but in the US launch, it called it a “fully integrated media monitoring and outreach.” The release was big on adjectives and light on details, so my suggestion to customers is to check with your AE and see if this is a re-platform and if Cision is planning a sunset.
- NewsWhip struck a partnership with LinkedIn that will allow its users to see the “most-viewed company page posts on LinkedIn,” PR Week reported.
- Virtual learning for virtual reality. The School of Journalism and Communication at the University of Oregon has launched a new online master’s program that will train students to use new technologies like virtual reality and augmented reality for marketing, advertising and other kinds of communication in a year. Classwork includes specialized training in topics like user design and creating immersive platforms, as well as courses on ethics, psychology and research skills. The school’s Oregon Reality Lab offered a hands-on space to experiment with the new tools.

6. PR tech people on the move
- Meltwater named Doug Balut as senior vice president of Global Alliances and Partnerships – its first executive announcement since being acquired by a private fund. He joins from Sprinklr.
- Truescope named Jim Collishaw as vice president of Government Sales. He joins from Quorum and previously worked for a division of LexisNexis that makes a media monitoring tool and Vocus.
7. PR tech company earnings
- Agility parent Innodata reports Q4 earnings. The parent company of Agility PR Solutions had a solid third quarter. Innodata said sales grew 20% year-over-year to $22.2 million and net income came in at one penny per share – compared to a net loss of $3.3 million over the same period last year. CEO Jack Abuhoff was optimistic about the development of proprietary generative AI and said unnamed tech customers will lead to “potentially reaching a $23 to $25 million run rate at the end of” 2024. Its subsidiary Agility PR Solutions is the only PR tech company I’m aware of that has developed its own generative AI.
8. PR statistics from comms tech providers
- Much to learn about AI, does PR have. Just 12% of survey respondents say they were “very knowledgeable” about AI and its capacity to support PR. The survey was conducted by PR Week and sponsored by Notified.
- PR measurement. On average, PR pros track eight metrics, the most common of which is counting placements, according to a survey by Muck Rack. Roughly half of respondents (47%) say they spend at least 25% of their time on PR measurement, the survey found.
9. Content picks
- Is the Generative AI bubble about to burst? Signal AI says online conversations about generative AI has slowed and “been accompanied by a change in tone.”
- Journalist discovers media database. “It’s here that the futility of using tools like Mynewsdesk made itself really clear. PRs representing those 46 companies and organizations had tried to email me 301 times using the Mynewsdesk service. One company alone sent me 45 separate emails,” writes Chris Stokel-Walker in Fast Company. [Note: If a carpenter bangs crooked nails, which is at fault: the hammer or the carpenter?]

today's moon will there be anyone not taking up his pen?
Looks like something out of a John Ford western. Stagecoach, maybe.
Wave's of immigrant's lived in the Hollow 'til the early sixties, I believe it was. Swedes, Italians, Mexicans, Irish, you name it. Just below the Hamm family mansion, no running water or electric for most of that time. History repeats itself; Now it's Hmong, Somalian, Mexican, Central American, African, Chinese following the same patterns, living in the same neighborhoods, and experiencing many of the same cultural hurdles. In the absentee-owner apartment market, sometimes with no running water, electric or heat. Note the nearly treeless landscape of this early 20th century photo of Swede Hollow, made a city park in the late seventies by the influence of neighborhood activism. Now, secondary growth has replaced the bare hills after decades of human-caused erosion, though not enough soil remains on the limestone escarpment for any trees to live to full maturity. Another 200 years, maybe, for the soil to build up again. To the left foreground, a dump has been revealed - glass bottles and artifacts peek through washed out soil and brush, a museum of sorts, the cast-off debris of groups of people who were outcasts themselves. (Click on the label beneath the post for more current images of the Hollow.)The dialect I hear in my head is one a hundred years old - almost extinguished from the East Side's culture as the demographic ages. A hardened, citified Scandanavian with Irish lilts and Italian bluntness, at once rambling and at the same time to the point. No where else in America could it be heard. American, from an underdog's viewpoint, with a familiarity recognizeable in close-knit societies that share a common hardship.

ST. LOUIS — City aldermen on Friday threw their support behind area janitors seeking a wage of at least $15 an hour.
As the janitors’ union continues negotiations with metro-area cleaning contractors, the Board of Aldermen voted unanimously for a resolution urging regional, civic and business leaders to commit to paying janitors and other workers that amount or more.
“The goal of $15 an hour will enable working people to lift their families out of poverty, strengthen our communities and facilitate equitable, inclusive growth across racial and geographic divides,” said the resolution. The lead sponsor was Sharon Tyus, D-1st Ward.
Before the board’s weekly meeting, about 50 people including some janitors held a rally in the City Hall rotunda. The event, the latest in a series of rallies, was organized by Local 1 of the Service Employees International Union.

OAK PARK, Ill. — Universal Lenders LLC, creators of the ZERO Plan and a 2018 Dealers’ Choice award winner, announced the implementation of Level D guidelines in an effort to offer reduced fees and an expanded refund term to the company’s largest retailers.
“As a result of industry consolidation creating even larger volume dealers and groups, we wanted to reward production with an industry best program,” said COO Phil Rosenberg. “The ZERO Plan is the only provider to apply guidelines and fees based upon production.”
Rosenberg noted Level A thru D guidelines are based upon the prior three-month average funding production. Each month, ZERO Plan analysts calculate the average production and assign a specific level to each dealership. Commonly owned dealers or groups pool their production to earn lower fees, rewarding higher-volume retailers.
“In today’s time of uncertainty, looming credit crunch and other factors, we feel our lower fees, up to 36-month installments and the ability to finance multiple products from different administrators on one installment agreement is game changing,” he added. “Now our largest dealers will enjoy even better terms.”

October 31, 2017, marked the 500th Anniversary of the start of the Protestant Reformation when Martin Luther nailed his 95 theses to the door the castle church at Wittenberg. Sola Scriptura or Scripture Alone was the first of 5 battle cries of the Reformation. By Sola Scriptura the Reformers were asserting that the Bible is our final and trustworthy authority for the Christian’s faith and life, not the Pope and not the Roman Catholic Church.
500 years later, the followers of Jesus are again in desperate need of a return to the doctrine of Sola Scriptura. Today it’s not the Roman Catholic Church which undermines and challenges the authority of Scripture, but our rapidly changing, increasingly secular culture.
Do we really believe the Bible is the inspired and infallible Word of God? This is a critical question for 21st Century Christians. If it is, then the Bible must be authoritative in our lives and we must submit to all of its teaching.
Yet many of us have lingering and deep-seated questions about the Bible that we’ve never pursued or explored. This series seeks to answer those questions and grow our confidence and commitment to Sola Scriptura, Scripture Alone.

With the advancement of science and technology, network technology has been widely used. The entire railway line has also completed the information network management project and realized all-road networking. All information of the infrared axis temperature detection system is collected in the Ministry of Railways Enquiry Center, and a star topology network is formed at each railway bureau. Authorized personnel can quickly and easily acquire the entire infrared road temperature detection system through the network anywhere. information.
Under the influence of such a large environment, the combination of RFID electronic tags and infrared technology has become increasingly closer. The role of RFID electronic tags in railway safety production has also become increasingly prominent. In order to realize the accurate positioning and identification of railway trains in the whole road network, the smart number tracking device using radio frequency identification technology came into being. Railway No. Radio Frequency Identification System can accurately identify the locomotive train number, vehicle number, container code, and related information in real time. Automatically collecting vehicle information to improve the accuracy of hot-axis prediction and ensure the full tracking of train and shaft temperature is the key equipment for real-time tracking management of vehicles.
The RFID Tag Automatic Number Identification System and Its Functions
Railway train number automatic recognition system adopts passive microwave reflection modulation technology. The basic system components include: electronic tag, electronic tag programmer (used to write the information to the electronic tag in a wired way to the locomotive, the vehicle's identification information, ie, trip number, Car number information) and ground reading devices.
The electronic tag is the most basic part of the system. It adopts a passive design scheme and is a non-contact automatic identification technology. It automatically recognizes the target object and obtains relevant data through radio frequency signals, which is equivalent to that of a truck (a locomotive or a vehicle). ID card". Each electronic tag is written with other attribute information in addition to the vehicle trip number and car number information. This information is also an important source of information for infrared axis temperature detection equipment distributed along the railway.
The ground reading device consists of a ground antenna installed in the track, a wheel sensor, an RF microwave radio device installed in the detection room, and a reading computer (industrial computer).
RFID RFID RF devices and microwave components
In the automatic train number identification system, RF radio frequency devices and microwave components are combined with the use of RFID electronic tag radio frequency identification technology.
The function of the RF radio device is to generate a microwave signal and receive a processed microwave signal reflected by the processing tag and demodulate the data information. After the RF radio device receives the command issued by the readout computer, the antenna is turned on, the microwave signal is transmitted to the outside via the antenna, and the modulated signal with the tag data information returned by the antenna is received, amplified, filtered, demodulated and then sent to the radio frequency device. Read the computer for the next step.

So its Monday again and my holiday nail polish week is over. Back to normal pictures in normal places without random backgrounds!!
I decided that I simply must try and use one of my new holiday purchases first and chose the lovely orange Rare polish. Simply because I think (hope!) it looks good with my tan! Which is sadly start to fade now *cries*.
Citrus Cocktail actually applied really well. Was opaque within 2 coats and although a little thick was really nice to use for a bargain polish. I’m debating wether to call the polish a neon. It is certainly very bright but I’m not sure I’d class it as bright as a neon. Maybe with a white base it might make it pop a bit more!
I decided to jazz the mani up a little bit by using a couple of coats of Dolly’s Dragons Breath on my ring finger as an accent. This is my most favourite orange glitter ever! As you can tell from the bottle shot, I’ve used this once or twice before!!
Then I decided to go a little further and apply some gold studs to the plain nails. I’m really pleased with how it turned out.
Can you see the sparkles from Dragon’s Breath on the sunlight shots? Really love that.
Let me know what you think!
Thanks for reading x


In the seventh and final season of FX’s bleak, gritty LAPD drama The Shield, which aired in 2008, the compost heap of the antiheroic Strike Team’s recklessness, greed, and irrational overconfidence reached a critical mass, and viewers were treated to the slow, horrifying disintegration of everything Vic Mackey and company once held to be dear and true. That kind of tailspin is compressed, give or take a few moral and ethical bulwarks, into 103 minutes in Frédéric Jardin’s nonstop, claustrophobic, and highly volatile Sleepless Night, which harks back to the tough-minded crime films of Phil Karlson (whose 99 River Street unravels a similar, desperate yarn) and André de Toth (Crime Wave in particular), while also paying homage to Jardin’s own countrymen, Jean-Pierre Melville and Jacques Audiard.
Something else that Sleepless Night has in common with The Shield—something, that is, that sets both of them apart from the pack—is that it works from the assumption that audiences are far less interested in the calibration of a character’s moral compass than in how heroes or antiheroes choose to act under stressful circumstances. Sleepless Night opens with a series of inciting incidents, first establishing, then contradicting, then contradicting again, the do-gooder status of Paris cop Vincent (French action star Tomer Sisley). As he’s drawn into a quagmire of drug kingpins and dirty cops, questions of what’s right and what’s necessary are deliberately confused, and the film becomes a portrait of what a man becomes when it seems as if everything in his life (his family, his career, his hide) is teetering on the edge of a very deep chasm. Why do so many films seem to think that we, the audience, will be lost in a fog if a hero’s actions aren’t constantly measured against a preset, moral baseline? A deeper sense of identification is found in Sleepless Night’s diagram of its characters’ baser instincts: self-preservation, greed, pride, and a fundamental sense of reality.
With the opening heist, Jardin’s shooting style seems, paradoxically, anonymous, and ostentatious at the same time—such is the state of affairs in a cinematic world that’s already had its eyelashes singed off by Paul Greengrass and Len Wiseman. Over the course of the film, Jardin’s style doesn’t exactly change gears, nor does he always take the high road, in terms of eschewing elaborate stunt shots (the most notorious being a long take that travels across a nightclub ceiling crawlspace from the lady’s bathroom to the men’s), but after a few turns in the modest narrative, an unlikely sense of structural resilience begins to emerge.
The recent and frequently ballyhooed concept of “chaos cinema”—at best an appreciation for valid new aesthetic models, at worst a Stockholm Syndrome-like acceptance that certain modes of shitty filmmaking are here to stay—comes out smelling fresh here. Sloppiness is Sleepless Night’s reigning principle, both thematically and visually, but it’s a deceptive sloppiness, held together by Jardin’s steady, disciplined hand, keeping a laser focus trained on the dueling sensations of equilibrium and volatility. Easily forgiven of a few harebrained schemes (flour, seriously?) and implausible coincidences, Sleepless Night repays the viewer who’s maybe a little weary of the current wave of “pure genre” in cinema, plunging us deep inside a world where no amount of police authority, guns, or muscle can get something done if the universe—or a massive, tumultuous night club—decides otherwise.

A Jazz Date With Chris Connor
If you’re wondering what the women were up to in the ’50s and early ’60s while Dean and Frank jazzed up their nights on the town as the leaders of the Rat Pack, look no further than jazz singer Chris Connor. With a voice that defined cool, Connor, along with a few others, carried the pop-vocal torch for women in the 1950s. But even if Connor’s persona is laid-back and stylized, her performance here is far from removed. In fact, as the jazz date title implies, this is an intimate and emotional affair.
Though it is Connor’s record first and foremost, the strongest tracks are the ones where her excellent backing band gets involved. “All I Need Is You” finds each member shining, in particular Oscar Pettiford with his nimble stand-up bass. Arranger Ralph Sharon even gives “It’s a Most Unusual Day” a Latin flavor, adding percussionist Mongo Santamaria, sometimes as the only backing for Connor’s refrain. Connor’s best performance may be on her striking rendition of “Poor Little Rich Girl.” Over a quick tempo, Connor croons “in lives of leisure, the craze for pleasure steadily grows / Cocktails and laughter, but what comes after? / Nobody knows.” Connor then dances around a tenor sax gracefully and finishes the song with a bang.
The thing about Connor’s voice that is immediately recognizable is of-the-moment it must have felt. Like listening to great pop from any era, Connor’s style is so welcoming in its warm playfulness that you can’t help but feel caught up in the fashionable moment. In the closer, “My Shining Hour,” Connor tells the audience “this will be my shining hour.” Thanks to this record, it never has to end.

Searching for a bottom in the housing market
With consumer confidence rising in May to its highest level in eight months, housing starts increasing more than 17 percent in May compared with the previous month, and sales of existing homes climbing 2.9 percent in April nationwide, it appears that the housing market may be stabilizing.
MAKING SENSE OF THE STORY FOR CONSUMERS
· Although sales of existing, single-family homes rose 35.2 percent in May in California, compared with a year ago, the median price declined 30.4 percent. Some industry analysts predict that as specialized adjustable-rate mortgages, known as option ARMS and Alt-A mortgages, reset over the next 18 to 24 months, prices could decline further before stabilizing.
· “We are seeing strong buying activity, particularly in those boom
and bust markets, where prices have declined significantly. Buyers
are coming in and fighting over properties – there is multiple bidding
in California and Florida,” says Lawrence Yun, chief economist with
the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS®.
· Sales of existing homes are soaring as many investors and first-
time buyers purchase distressed properties. Yun estimates that
about 50 percent of current sales involve distressed properties, and
he expects the trend to continue as foreclosures rise in the months
· Although some economists predict home prices will continue to
decline in the coming months, California’s median home price rose
for the third consecutive month in May, posting the largest monthly
increase on record for the month of May.
· Some buyers are trying to time the bottom of the market and purchase once it appears that prices are consistently and steadily rising. Many housing forecasters advise against this approach as buyers should not view their homes solely as investment opportunities. Historically, the average annual rate of return on a home lived in for five years or more is nearly 12 percent, based on data C.A.R. has collected over the last 40 years.

Matthew Goodwin’s latest book, Values, Voice and Virtue has been met with a deluge of negative reviews after the controversial academic blamed the new left-leaning elite for shaping modern British politics.
After 13 years of Conservative rule, Goodwin argued that it is in fact those of a left-wing persuasion who are to blame for Brexit and the current state of the nation.
He argues that British politics has been shaped by a “new elite” that is progressive, pro-migration, obsessed with diversity and out of touch with the values of much of Britain.
Unlike upper-class aristocrats and landowners of old, Goodwin charges that a “new elite” has been created, bound by their Oxbridge or Russell Group university education, cultural power and control of key public institutions such as the BBC.
The book has been widely criticised on social media, with Mic Wright posting this brutal analysis:
Rhondda Bryant helpfully reminded listeners of the ‘disastrous’ Tory policies over the last 13 years on LBC:
While others, such as Gerry Hassan in The National and Oliver Eagleton in The New Statesman, have pointed out that Goodwin has gone from an “observer to a participant” after previously documenting the emergence of right-wing populism.
As Hassan notes, it “suits his validation of right-wing populism to prioritise “culture war” issues and charge that an out-of-touch liberal elite does not care about working-class or north-of-England concerns”.
On Amazon, reviews of the book have also been a mixed bag.
One person humorously compared it to an article published in 2016 by the satirical website Daily Mash entitled ‘Liberal elite’ is anyone who has voluntarily read a book’.
“This book is an expanded version of that article, but apparently is not intended to be satirical”, he said.
R. Scott called it a “rehash of Spiked Online tropes”, while H Root called it “ignorant”.
Reaction on social media has also been pretty fierce!
Here’s what people had to say:
