Inner West Whispers Bay Run After reports of three women being indecently assaulted on the Bay Run, police believe there is a serial offender targeting women. They have been told the man is in his 20's, with prominent front teeth and tattoos on his right shoulder and forearm. Two women reported to police that they were intimidated or assaulted, while the third woman has not spoken to police, but reported the incident to another man who was walking his dog near Glover Street Sports Ground. Police are wishing to speak to any other women who have been approached or assaulted near the Bay Run area.
residential tower would include 57 residential apartments, 15 serviced apartments and communal open spaces. The proposal also includes "an area of open space" such as a winger garden or balcony. Meanwhile, in Leichhardt another development project is causing quite a stir with hundreds of residents heading to a street meeting to oppose a State Government plan to rezone industrial land for 315 apartments.
Vertical Gardens Graffiti. You either love it or you hate it. And councils usually fall into the hate category. Strathfield councillors are currently debating whether vines and creepers will be the answer to stamping out graffiti. The vertical gardens on bare walls of graffiti hotspots will allow Strathfield's reputation to continue as a "green suburb", according to Labor councillor Karen Pensabene. Last year, a plan to deter graffiti by creating street art murals was rejected by councillors. Time will tell if we see these vertical gardens sprouting about the Strathfield area. Two Towers Burwood is set to receive two new towers after a $30 million plan was approved for a 18-story commercial tower and a 20-story residential tower. The artist impression shows the 1,632.6sq m development site in the heart of Burwood's town centre, 100m from Burwood railway station. The Burwood to get bigger
Things we love An all-women comedy performance night will hit the stage of the Giant Dwarf Theatre in Redfern this March. The comedians are raising money for the Inner West Roller Derby League (IWRDL), with much-needed funds to get them to the 5x5 Roller Derby Championships later this year. The IRWDL Skatecrashers have previously taken home the trophy for division two of the multi-city tournament, and are eyeing the prize for division one, with the help of essential fundraising and community support. The skaters are excited to join forces with these comedians "Sport and comedy are both spaces where women are going from strength to strength," said IRWDL President Ophelia McMillan. It's more than putting on some skates
and getting in the rink. The costs add up between training, gear, insurance and transport, until suddenly derby becomes an expensive sport. "With students, mums and low-income workers all an integral part of our team, we want to make playing derby as accessible as possible," said McMillan. The emerging and smash-hit comedians include Comedy Central star Becky Lucas, comedians Cassie Workman, Nina Oyama and Lauren Bonner, and improv troupes Confetti Gun and Quad Bike, with storytellers Bec Melrose and Hannah Pembroke. Come support these fabulous women as they support other fabulous women! Inner West Roller Derby League Comedy Night Fundraiser Thursday March 1 7pm
Latte Leftie Latte Leftie champions the #Me Too movement (in the hope of deflecting attention from his own Waterstreetesque past). Dear LL – Everyone knows women can withdraw consent before or during a sexual encounter but how about retroactively? Let me draw on my experience to illustrate why this is crucial if the patriarchy is to be dismantled. Post-gig, I flirted with the bass player in a local thrash metal band the other night. He offered me a drink. I requested a small-batch bourbon but he brought back a pre-mix Jim Beam and cola can. (This didn't seem important at the time but is obviously evidence he was a budding predator unconcerned with my wishes). I invited him back to my place. I then made him role-play a scenario where I was an innocent, young political staffer and he was a Papist National Party politician overcome with career-ending lust. Technically, I consented to this encounter. Hell, up until a few months ago I even would have offered it up as an example of an empowered young woman exploring her sexuality. But a few months is an eternity in feminist politics. Now I've come to understand I need to destroy this predator's life. By writing an article for (ahem) a local progressive publication where I go into cringe-inducing detail about his pillow talk ("Are you all about the bass, baby?") and sexual technique (think thrusting away to the Immigrant Song). But I'm worried that the guy might self-harm (you know what those sensitive, artistic types are like). What to do? Clementine, Leichhardt LL replies: You're going to hear a lot of reactionary guff, some of it from putative feminists, about due process, personal responsibility and the dangers of mob rule. For the sake of your #Me Too cred, ignore those geriatric Debbie Downers. Then make sure this string-strumming sicko is outed in the most humiliating manner imaginable before being committed to a hospital for the criminally insane for the rest of his life.

A self-taught artist and furniture maker, Pete Ferrow has been making eclectic work for decades. The Out of the Alley artist has been drawing and painting in ink and acrylic since the late 90s, but turned his attention 10 years ago to oils and painting Australian seas and landscapes. From the Pyrmont Bridge Hotel to a sketch of the Lansdowne Hotel, Ferrow combined community nostalgia with personal curiosity to reach deeper into the history of Australian pubs. Paying homage to these important destinations of mateship has brought him to this exhibition, open 10am-6pm daily. The opening night party will be held from 6pm on Friday 2nd.

GETTING EQUAL TWO EXTRAORDINARY WOMEN FROM TWO DIFFERENT GENERATIONS FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT AND WIN. MARIA ZARRO FINDS OUT WHAT GIVES THEM THE TIGRESS FACTOR More than ever, there's a strong call to action to make our society gender inclusive. While the struggle for equality belongs to no single activist but to collective power, Maria Zarro has reason to celebrate the efforts of two inspiring women – and Australia Day recipients – in their determination to make a difference. Newtown's Sarah Midgley and Haberfield's Jozefa Sobski represent different generations of Inner West women who help create a fairer and equal society.
SARAH MIDGLEY Awarded Inner West Council's 2018 Citizen of the Year For someone only in her thirties, Sarah Midgley has achieved more in her young life than most of us can manage in two. A Sydney girl with a background in quantum physics, Sarah moved to Newtown six years ago with her partner (now wife), Shirleene, after a stint in London as a physics researcher. Sarah works in strategy and planning in the education sector and is passionate about the participation of women in STEM (the learning of science, technology, engineering and mathematics) and working to reduce discrimination experienced by LGBTIQ people, women and Indigenous Australians. A dedicated volunteer for a number of causes, Sarah has served on the Committee of the Flying Bats Women's Football Club, the largest lesbian soccer club in the world, and on the Committee of Sydney's Pride History Group, a community history group focused on Sydney's LGBTIQ past. However, it's her work with Australian Marriage Equality, first as NSW Co-Convenor and then as a Director on the Board, that has awarded her Inner West Citizen of the Year. 'The marriage equality campaign was about achieving equality before the law, but the historic YES result also signalled a move towards greater social inclusion and opportunity for LGBTIQ people to live full and happy lives,' states Sarah. 'It's a cause that intersects with the aims of International Women's Day (IWD). Until we have a society where sexuality or gender does not serve as a barrier to opportunity, we all need to continue to work to address and remedy this.' Sarah views IWD as an important day to celebrate what women have achieved and reflect on what remains to be done. 'Equality is something I believe Australians feel passionate about. IWD aligns with my belief that we are stronger as a society when we recognise and support the contribution everyone makes to their communities.'
'Indigenous women and women from multicultural backgrounds, as well as bisexual, lesbian, transgender, intersex and queer women still have specific needs that need addressing … it's an important cause to advocate for both within Australia and globally where women are still denied basic human rights.' Sarah is proud to have seen the campaign for marriage equality grow in the Inner West. She was involved in door knocking, phone banks and leafletting, and was met with strong community support during the postal survey. 'I witnessed the profound difference that people can make through grassroots action. Hopefully, the momentum of the marriage equality result will encourage people to stay engaged with local advocacy and community-driven campaigns.' Unsurprisingly, Sarah relishes living in Newtown; a slice of Sydney where she feels free to be herself. 'Newtown is a creative and inclusive place. I love living in the Inner West as people accept you, no matter your background or who you love, whether you are an LGBTIQ person or whether you are from a variety of other backgrounds. This is an area where you can feel part of a community, find a cause to advocate for and make a contribution.' Details: Australian Marriage Equality Website: www.australianmarriageequality.org.au
JOZEFA SOBSKI Awarded the AM in the General Division of the Order of Australia for significant service to women's rights, migrant advocacy, and to higher education and skills based training. A child of post war Polish migrants who spent time in hostels, including Villawood Migrant Hostel, Jozefa has a rich and rewarding history in helping activate change on a political and social level and in improving the lives of individuals through education. An English and history teacher by training, Jozefa joined the Ministry of Education as an advisor on sexism and its effects on the schooling of children, particularly girls. 'Education of girls has been my passion because I believe this is the key to opening doors for a better life,' says Jozefa. 'Educate to liberate!' Jozefa has celebrated or marched on International Women's Day (IWD) since 1972, that is, for almost her entire adult life. She says that the day is important in marking women's achievements, and acts as a reminder of the work ahead in attaining a society free of sexual oppression where benefits and rewards are equally available to all women. 'Women across the world march on IWD in solidarity with all women for: equal pay; for accessible, affordable child care; for access to reproductive health care; for safe contraception; for safety and security at home and at work; for a life free of violence and sexual assault; for access to education at all levels and in all fields; and for an end to sexual exploitation. I march for all these reasons.' Jozefa has direct experience of the benefits feminism has given women over the years; gains that younger generations take for granted. 'Feminist activists from the early days of women's liberation have achieved better pay and conditions for women at work. Many women have gone into higher education and training since the 1970s, and as a result there is better distribution of women in many professions.' Other gains include anti-discrimination laws like the Sex Discrimination Act, changes in sexual assault laws and laws to make domestic violence a criminal offence, and improvements in childcare provisions. Jozefa admits there is still more to achieve and to ensure the benefits of these changes are evenly distributed amongst women of all backgrounds. Close to home, Jozefa is involved in the Women's Electoral Lobby (WEL), which is based in Newtown and which has operated to advance equality for women for 45 years. Membership extends beyond the Inner West. Women are encouraged to join and help lobby government around pivotal issues. 'Homelessness is often an outcome of domestic violence and WEL is lobbying the government to fund strategies and programs to address this critical social issue,' says Jozefa. WEL is also focused on modernising the law with respect to abortion, which is now over 100 years old in New South Wales and does not reflect modern medical practice. Jozefa has a deep connection to Haberfield, having lived there for nearly 30 years, and is concerned by the current changes affecting the area. She is an active member of the Haberfield Association, which -6-
Jessie's Girls: Jozefa Sobski (left) preserving history at the Jessie St National Women's Library
does important work to preserve the heritage character of the suburb. The group effectively raises issues created by the Westconnex project, which has destroyed parts of what some consider 'the jewel in the Inner West crown'. 'I love Haberfield because of its social and cultural mix, its wonderful architecture, its little shopping village surrounded by buildings of historical significance and its top class cafes and restaurants,' beams Jozefa. 'The Italian pasticcerias are among the best in Sydney if you want to indulge while reading the paper!'
HER STORY Preserving women's history at Jessie Street National Women's Library. Among Jozefa Sobski's many causes is her involvement in managing Jessie Street National Women's Library (JSNWL). Established in 1989, the library is named after Australian suffragette Jessie Street. Its objectives are to heighten awareness of women's issues, preserve documents on women's lives and activities, support the field of women's history and highlight women's contribution to this country's development. The core collection originated from the estate of the feminist and Inner West resident Eva Maria. Donations come from a range of sources such as individuals, women's organisations, academics and publishers, and the Canberra Women's Archive, which documented two decades of the history of the women's movement. The collection boasts more than 10,000 books dating from the mid-19th century to the present day. Dedicated volunteers, many of them professional librarians, operate the library. Fundraising, grants and donations are crucial to JSNWL's survival and longevity. The collection has had homes in various places around Sydney, including the NSW Writers' Centre in Callan Park, Rozelle. It moved to its current location at the Ultimo Community Centre in October 2005. Inquiries regarding access to the collection, volunteering or making a donation can be made through the contact details below.

March hits...
Some of the films in this year's Alliance Françasise French Film Festival may confront you. Good AVA ★★★★ The captivating long shot that opens Ava, like so many scenes in Léa Mysius' confident debut, is just stunning. A lone black dog, who we'll later know as "Lupus" pads along a crowded beach past holidaying French families and bathers, intent on – something… Eventually he finds what he wants, a plate of chips perched on the stomach of a prone sunbather, 13 year-old Ava (astonishing newcomer Noée Abita). He wolfs them down, awakening her. Squinting into the light she makes out the outline of the black, wolf-like face. The dog, who turns up often at the most plot opportune times (but vastly unlikely in terms of regular canine behaviour!) and the colour black are in fact metaphors. For we soon learn Ava's eyesight is failing fast, and that this summer will be her last before her whole world will turn to black. That may sound like a downer – a YA "disease of the week" tearjerker, though this film is anything but. For Ava, we soon learn, is a truculent headstrong girl – and a foolishly daring one. Her devastated mother tries to help, though her only idea is a safe holiday romance with a nice teenage boy – not the reckless, wild and dangerous misadventure Ava embarks on with the owner of Lupus, 18 year-old gypsy (Juan Cano) who is in dire trouble with the law. This is a stylish, bravely ambitious and very joyous first film, though it does, like its young heroine, go off the rails towards the end. A nudity warning (there's lots) might be needed. Only in France would underage sex (the lead actress is actually 17) be treated so nonchalantly. Just routine "coming of age," apparently... MA15+
The Square
REDOUBTABLE ★★★★1/2 When the revered darling of the French New Wave, 37 year-old Jean-Luc Godard (Louise Garel) beds 19 year-old actress, Anne (Stacy Martin, also in Lars von Trier's Nymphomaniac), he was at the height of his fame and popularity. In Hollywood today such an affair would be greeted with howls of outrage, especially as Garel plays the director as a bit of an arrogant jerk, prone to mansplaining. The power imbalance of their subsequent relationship (and short-lived marriage) is cheekily addressed and mocked in the direct to camera commentary that substitutes for Double Lover dialogue in a lot of Michel Hazanavicius' daring and insouciant imagining of one year in (Jérémie Renier) who the legendary filmmaker's life. That was 1968, before long invites her when the whole world was in turmoil, and the into his lush apartment streets of Paris were aflame with revolution. and bed. So far, so Godard had enthusiastically became a Maoist disreputably "French", and tried to apply "revolutionary workers' but "inappropriate democracy" techniques to his filmmaking – sexual contact" was with disastrous results. The film is a comedy, just what the doctor of sorts, insofar as any professional meltdown ordered, apparently. And and mid-life crisis can be considered funny. Chloe even seems to In Hazanavicius' audacious and playful hands, get better, before spying this one certainly is, though in another affront an exact doppelganger to #metoo and contemporary sensibilities, of her new lover (also Anne herself seems to spend a great deal of the played by Reinier). turbulent year they spent together completely Redoubtable She discovers he's not starkers. In one hilarious scene the pair debate only her partner's the prevalence of gratuitous nudity in movies – while both unacknowledged twin brother but also a psychiatrist – and naked themselves. Well, remember we're in France. And it a very dangerously different type of man… The mystery was 1968! CTC deepens, and gets quite feverishly lurid after that with echoes
Even those who accept that the French have different attitudes to sex and nudity may find the gender politics of Francis Ozon's deliciously mad erotic thriller a challenge. It opens with a scene familiar only to a gynaecologist, all pink and moist and panning out to be recognizable to the rest of us briefly before morphing into a human eye. Both body parts belong to Chloé (Marine Vacth, the star of Ozon's Young and Beautiful), and she's an ex-model getting treatment for mysterious cramps and stomach pains. She's sent to a shrink
of Hitchcock, Verhoeven and even Cronenberg. Most critics have been delighted with Ozon's "return to form" but least one labelled it as "trash". But the review added (accurately) – "delirious premium trash – for the right kind of moviegoer…" One thing for sure, the back-to-back sex scenes are not for the prurient, and the movie isn't for those with closed minds about worldwide cultural differences.

Christian (Claes Bang) is the head curator at a prestigious contemporary art museum in Stockholm. Startlingly handsome, elegantly dressed and decked out in fashionable eyewear, he'd be instantly recognizable in the hippest of galleries and bars anywhere in the inner west. He drives a Tesla, supports the right causes and is smoothly plausible, at least until asked to explain what the buzzwordy mumbo-jumbo about his latest installation by an English artist (Dominic West) on the gallery's website actually means. That challenge comes from American journalist Anne (Elizabeth Moss) early on, and disarms us into thinking we may be watching a satire on the pretensions of the art world. The Square is that, and it hits its mark effortlessly, but writer-director Ruben Östlund (Force Majeure) has much more in mind. And he brilliantly keeps us off-balance too with a plot about Christian's stolen iPhone while taking on hot-button issues like gender power abuse, poverty, class privilege, self delusion, race, xenophobia, and social media – all with an off-kilter Nordic twist that is both edgily funny and deadly serious. There are long scenes of mortifying discomfort: As long as I live I'll never forget Anne and Christian's argument over the contents of a used condom, or the exquisitely awkward set-piece where a performance artist (Terry Notary) terrorises the patrons of a black-tie gallery fund-raiser. Like so much of the film, those scenes are wild and unpredictable – and utterly mesmerizing. It decisively won the Palme d'Or at Cannes last year. It was my personal favourite from the 2017 Sydney Film Festival. And know this: The Square will be the best film you see all year.

There is a market for movies about baby boomers rediscovering their "true adventurous selves" after they're firmly stuck in Centrelink's clutches – and you'll see them at the daytime weekday sessions of Palace and Dendy cinemas. Usually on discount day. Some of them, like "Bif " (Imre Celia, above left) may smoke "wacky baccy" – just to show how free spirited and wild they really are. You'll need some too if you are to get any enjoyment out of this cliched and predictable affair. Full review at www.ciaomagazine.com.au

Sublime historic architecture
Yes, that really is an elephant being ridden down a busy city street. Yes, the traffic is gridlocked for two hours because 50,000 religious devotees are staging a procession. Yes, those are goats nuzzling their way through the rubbish in the gutter. India is one of the most frenetic – but fascinating – countries on the planet, a cacophony of sound, a 24-hour assault on the senses. Jaipur, the bustling capital of Rajasthan state, is a destination in its own right; full of ancient forts and palaces with striking contrasts between conspicuous consumption and desperate poverty; between the old and the new, traditional cultures and Western ways. Visitors to Rajasthan are up from 3.8 million to 4.5 million over the past 12 months and tourism now accounts for over 15% of income. Here you'll find farmers who still carry milk churns on their heads and live in communal compounds, but also watch TV through their satellite dishes; tribesmen in traditional costumes chatting away on their mobile phones. Beguiling Rajasthan is not for those who want to wind down and relax on their holiday, but is ideal for lovers of high-energy destinations, spicy food and challenges. Sydneysiders can now get to Rajasthan via Kuala Lumpur following the launch of AirAsia X flights direct from Kuala Lumpur to Jaipur, the capital city of Rajasthan. Known as the "Pink City" because so many of its buildings are pink in colour, Jaipur is regarded as one of most beautiful and magnificent cities of India. Jaipur's rich cultural heritage is displayed in the traditions, customs, lifestyle, art, jewellery, textiles and architecture, as well as its traditional art and music. The majestic forts and havelis, old-style mansions, the beautiful temples, serene landscapes and the rich cultural heritage have made Jaipur a magnet for tourists.
The foundation of the city dates back several centuries, with credit to the great warrior Maharajah Sawai Jai Singh II, who ascended the Amber Throne in 1699. The fascinating Amber Palace is a major drawcard along with the must-see City Palace, Hawa Mahal, Jal Mahal, Nahargarh Fort, Birla Temple, Jantar Mantar and Panna Meena ka Kund. The City Palace is one of the most famous tourist attractions; dating back to the 19th century, the palace was built by Sawai Jai Singh and showcases a unique combination of Rajput, Mughal and European styles of architecture with an array of courtyards, gardens and special structures. One of the most prominent landmarks of the pink city, Hawa Mahal is located nearby – it was where women of the Royal family used to live. Constructed with red and pink sandstone and symbolizing the shape of Lord Krishna's crown, Hawa Mahal is an architectural masterpiece with over 900 intricately carved 'jharokhas' or small windows. Now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Jantar Mantar is the largest of the five astronomical observatories built by Maharajah Sawai Jai Singh II, the founder of Jaipur. It contains sixteen geometric devices, designed to measure time, track celestial bodies and observe the orbits of the planets.
A myriad of colour and cuisines
breezes make daytime sightseeing comfortable. Some of the most popular festivals of Jaipur take place during this time, including the Jaipur Literature Festival, Elephant Buzz and Jaipur International Kite Festival. I stayed in the excellent Mandawa Haveli Hotel, which dates back to 1896. This inner-city mansion has a lovely swimming pool, very comfortable rooms and a restaurant serving tasty food. This heritage property has 70 rooms in various styles and offers traditional puppet shows in the courtyard most evenings. Other affordable accommodation choices include the delightful and authentic Narain Niwas Palace (also with a swimming pool in which to relax during summer) and the more modern Fern Hotel on the marvellously named Tonk Road. Check out the award-winning Spice Court for some authentic local dishes, including a delicious and spicy goat curry, which matches brilliantly with the local Kingfisher beer.
THE FACTS Air Asia X has four-times weekly flights between Kuala Lumpur and Jaipur, Rajasthan.
The Albert Hall, brilliantly lit at night, gets its name from The Victoria and Albert Museum in London.
Since 2010 Air Asia group has carried over 16 million passengers in and out of India. There are direct connections with Australian capital cities.
Also known as the 'Water Palace', Jal Mahal is situated in the heart of the Man Sagar Lake, below the majestic Nahargarh Hills. Its unique location and charming beauty make it one of the best photographic sites in Jaipur.
Lie-flat beds are available on all flights, as well as budget seats. Air Asia X now serves a total of 19 Indian cities. See www.airasia.com
Originally built by Maharajah Sawai Madho Singh some 300 years ago, the palace was renovated by his son to beautify its exteriors with courtyards and gardens built in typical Mughal style. Travel outside the city by taxi or tuk tuk to explore several historic forts and monuments. The northern winter is regarded as the best time to visit Jaipur. Fresh -12-

At Home with Emma Bowen creative with finding space to grow in such dense and expensive areas. Our farm is on the old Camperdown Bowling Club that had been closed down for several years before we took it over in 2016 as part of Camperdown Commons. We have turned the old bowling greens into a 1200m2 market garden, along with a community food forest, composting system, greenhouse, chooks, native bees and lots of community interaction and activities within.
think we've been affording ourselves the luxury of assuming that others will carry the weight of caring for the Earth, reconnecting communities, growing our food, cleaning our air and our water, and making life on the planet sustainable for a fast growing population.
2. What inspired you to create the first of its kind in Sydney?
International Woman, Emma Bowen
General manager and founding board member of Pocket City Farms in Camperdown, Emma Bowen is changing the way the community grows food. With a passion for sustainability living, Emma found a way to use her skills to create something new. Last year, Pocket City Farms won the Sustainable Innovation Award at the Inner West Council Business Environment Awards. She speaks to Ciao about her favourite meal and what inspired her to move from magazine editting to urban farming. Can you explain the concept behind an urban farm? An urban farm is the same as many others, except we grow our food in the city, right where a majority of us live. There's some really great examples of urban farms across Australia, and internationally that have gotten
Wine with Winsor gourmetontheroad.blogspot.com
We were a couple of city dwellers working in publishing and architecture who were disconnected from our own food sources as a result of living in the city and being so removed from it. We had a drive to give up the office life and make those connections ourselves through organic and regenerative farming. I was editing a magazine on sustainable living, my passion, and was inspired by having spoken with the guys who founded Brooklyn Grange in New York (2.5 acres of rooftop farms). We decided to give farming a go in the city for a few reasons - we loved living here, and because we made the assumption that if we were disconnected from farming and food growing - so were most of the people living in Sydney - and that urban farms are a fantastic, positive way to begin bridging that divide. How did you become interested in working with nature and pursuing a business that focused on environmental concerns? Hmm I'm not sure - I'm inclined to say responsibility or common sense! As a society, I
I think we all have the responsibility to not turn a blind eye to our current environmental situation and to not be selfish in our individual and capitalist goals - to not assume it will be the work of others to keep our world clean and liveable. I feel proud in my work that an urban farm that grows clean food in the city, helps connect local community and introduces a way to connect with our food sources and learn more about farming is a positive way to contribute. Plus, working with nature and building soil is the best! What's your favourite thing about living and working in the Inner West? There's a fantastic collaborative and supportive community in the inner west among both individuals and businesses, and a really strong sense of doing business and living life ethically and sustainably. 5. How does Pocket City Farms fit in with the wider sustainability concerns that Australia is facing? Some of the huge issues we are facing include a lack of understanding around food seasonality and the transport, energy and health ramifications associated; organic farming vs monoculture farming; an ageing population of farmers; lack of support for farmers growing ecologically; a convenience food culture affecting nutrition and physical and mental health; lack of green spaces in
cities affecting air quality, mental health and community interaction; food waste going to landfill; stormwater runoff from cities; raised temperatures in cities as a result of urban heat island effect; among others. It all begins to sound depressing when you get a list going! However, urban farms make a positive contribution to all of these concerns. How great would it be to get more urban farms growing our food across our cities! What's your meal of choice after a long day farming in the city? Gazpacho! It's so quick and easy, takes in the best of summer, is so good for hot days, and uses up any seconds tomatoes. We love it with some of our fave Two Chaps sourdough. Emma's Recipe for Gazpacho 1kg of tomatoes, chopped 1 long pepper or half a capsicum 1 cucumber, chopped 1 red onion, or half a white onion, chopped 1 clove garlic Splash of a sweet vinegar, like apple cider, white wine or sherry Good pinch or two or three of salt 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil Use cold ingredients if you want to eat it straight away. Blend everything except the olive oil together until smooth. Pour the oil in slowly while blending (the mix will turn orange and emulsify). Add more olive oil if still seems watery and adjust vinegar and salt to taste. Strain through a strainer (push it through with a spoon). Chill til really cold. Serve it with sourdough and plenty of Botanical Cuisines cultured vegan butter.

Chain of Ponds 2017 Novello Pinot Grigio
Derwent Estate 2016 Pinot Noir
Yalumba Y Series 2017 Riesling
Some of the best pinot noirs in Australia are now being made in cool-climate Tasmania and one of the names to watch out for is Derwent Estate, with vines that grow on the hills overlooking the Derwent River north of Hobart. The vines here are approaching a quarter of a century old and that maturity is reflected in this beautifully balanced wine in the "Boat Label range" with dark fruits starring alongside savoury notes. A weekend treat with Chinese roast duck. $39.
The Yalumba Y Series offers some of the best-value wines to be found in Australia; crafted by a top-notch team at Australia's oldest familyowned winery, using fruit from the Barossa Valley and its cooler neighbour, the Eden Valley. This is high-quality dry riesling with freshcut flower fragrance along with bright citrus flavours and a lean acid backbone. The RRP is $15 but you'll often find it cheaper on special. Pair it with spicy Thai or Vietnamese dishes. $14.
There's a new look to the wines under the Chain of Ponds label and some outstanding value on offer with wines like this take on pinot grigio; fresh, vibrant and made in the northern Italian style. The wines in the Novello range are designed for immediate drinking pleasure - and this will be best enjoyed served well chilled. It is simple in essence but if you enjoy your whites refreshing with crisp acid and myriad fresh fruit salad flavours then you'll enjoy this. Pair with old school fish and chips. $16.
Bay Bitch RECLAIM YOUR BAY LADIES It was with horror but not surprise that I heard about women being assaulted on the Bay Run- two incidents of indecent assault and one of a man exposing himself in a period of two weeks. This type of news makes women think twice about exercising on the Bay Run, no matter how fast they may be. Women of course should be able walk anywhere at any time without fearing for their safety. But with these threats still lurking in the background in 2018, this seems almost unattainable. Still squashed down by the aggression of some angry male. What makes a male want to overpower another person at any time, but on the Bay Run such a seemingly peaceful place where people are happily fulfilling their exercise regime. Was
this unknown person disturbed by his inability to complete the circuit and wanted to take it out on someone else? A loner who felt an urgent need to overpower someone? Apparently, men who rape tend to believe more strongly in myths about rape, such as • A man must have sex to prove his masculinity • When women say no to sex, they really mean yes, so men should ignore women's refusals They are also more likely to engage in fantasies about coercive sex. Compared with other men, rapists drink more heavily, begin having sexual experiences earlier, and are more likely to have been physically or sexually abused as children. This particular perpetrator operating on the Lilyfield side of Iron -13-
Cove has been described as having prominent front teeth, and tattoos on his right shoulder and forearm. How scary a giant tattooed rabbit on our stomping ground! Us sportsters must not be stopped because of this rampant aggressor. We need to continue our walks, our runs, our chats, our rides and our fun. We must be on the lookout for any aberration from the norm, any strange sounds and have our cameras and phones ready to take action. This person can not impede our path. We have fought for our rights before and we will not let this coward change our exercise regime. Remember we are strong and women, especially us sportsters and wanna be sportsters, are on the move!

deep intuitive skills. You are driven by feelings this month, so trust your instincts but don't ignore the facts.
Amore SEX, DATING AND RELATIONSHIPS WITH CAT O'DOWD
Challenging Stereotypes In honour of International Women's Day, here are some of my hopes and dreams for Women for the future of liberated sex and relationships.
THE SEXUAL DOUBLE STANDARD BE SCRAPPED No more shaming women with high sex drives, who are pretty or dress in a certain way. No more blaming women for sexual assault. No, it had nothing to do with what they were wearing! No more shaming women for enthusiastically wanting sex. No more calling women the 'gatekeepers' of sex and men the pursuers. These are cultural ideas and in reality some women think about sex often more than men do. No more defining men as more 'visual' and 'sexual' than women and other gigantic claptrap myths. It's both women and men's big sex drives that made humanity evolve to where we are now, women didn't evolve with no eyes!
RECLAIM YOUR OWN PLEASURE No more lying back and thinking it's more important to look pretty during sex than experiencing pleasure. No more thinking it's important to endure things your partner wants sexually that you don't enjoy. No more expecting your partner to pleasure you before understanding how your body works and how to pleasure yourself.
MORE AGENCY AND EQUALITY IN RELATIONSHIPS Research into heterosexual couples shows us that women have more agency and equality in their relationships they have a better sex life, are happier in their relationships and have more improved communication. Sharing more household chores leads to better sex and greater relationship satisfaction. There are lower divorce rates when husbands take a bigger role in
childcare, shopping and housework and more relationship stability when he can take on paternity leave.
GENDER EQUALITY IS GOOD FOR SEX AND RELATIONSHIPS! Reclaim your dating life. Men shouldn't have to always make the first move. Women can make the first move! Embrace the possibility of rejection! You don't need to sit back and be passive and hope someone will come and talk to you!
LET GO OF SEXUAL AND GENDER STEREOTYPES So say you complain your man is too uncaring and aloof and you wish he'd be able to communicate verbally with you like your girlfriends do. Then say he gets sick and opens up to you and you can't handle seeing him that vulnerable, helpless and emotional because unconsciously -14-
these are always traits you've seen as feminine and 'weak.' Or say you and your friends tease your male friend because you say he's "pussy whipped" (another stupid term!) because he's not always 100% in control and the 'boss' in his relationship. A relationship is about shared roles and responsibilities and looking out for your partner is nothing to do with being 'whipped.' These gender stereotypes about what a man or a woman should be can be very destructive for our relationships. A man is not always stoic, independent and unemotional anymore than a woman is always passive, submissive, emotional and sensitive. Such black and white stereotypical thinking can hinder your relationship. Men can embrace their softer side and women can get in touch with their power and strength!

|Surface and curvature energies from jellium spheres: Density functional hierarchy and quantum Monte Carlo
|Almeida, L. M.
Perdew, John P.
Fiolhais, Carlos
|Issue Date:
|The American Physical Society
|Physical Review B. 66:7 (2002) 075115
|We consider spherical jellium clusters with up to 200 electrons as a testing ground for density functional approximations to the exchange-correlation energy of a many-electron ground state. As nearly-exact standards, we employ Hartree–Fock energies at the exchange-only level and the diffusion Monte Carlo (DMC) energies of Sottile and Ballone (2001) at the correlated level. The density functionals tested are the local spin density (LSD), generalized gradient (GGA), and meta-generalized gradient (meta-GGA) approximations; the latter gives the most accurate results. By fitting the deviation from the LSD energy of closed-shell clusters to the predictions of the liquid drop model, we extract the exchange-correlation surface energies and curvature energies of a semi-infinite jellium from the energies of finite clusters. For the density functionals, the surface energies so extracted agree closely with those calculated directly for a single planar surface. But for the diffusion Monte Carlo method, the surface energies so extracted are considerably lower (and we suspect more accurate) than those extrapolated by Acioli and Ceperley (1996) from their DMC supercell calculations. The errors of the LSD, GGA, and meta-GGA surface and curvature energies are estimated, and are found to be consistently small for both properties only at the meta-GGA level. These errors are qualitatively related to relative performances of the various density functionals for the calculation of atomization energies: the proper self-interaction correction to the LSD for a one-electron atom is in the curvature energy (as it is in meta-GGA), not in the surface energy (as it is in GGA). Additionally, a formula is given for the interpolation and extrapolation of the surface energy σxc as a function of the bulk density parameter rs

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Now that businesses are opening back up, who is going to make sure social distancing and other new regulations are followed?
At the Garden District in East Memphis, the store is open, but the owner is only allowing two people inside at a time and customers and employees must wear masks.
Whether it's in the city or the suburbs, different types of businesses will require different regulations be followed - but at the center of it remains social distancing. Business can follow the guidelines, or make the rules even stricter than what the state requires.
So what should you do if you see a business not following the rules?
"We are going to rely heavily on the public, which has happened to date. We have received calls to 311 as well as the Mayor's Action Center. In some cases, we have gone to law enforcement. Sometimes they go to the health department. We have a fairly coordinated approach," says Shelby County Health Director Dr. Alisa Haushalter.
The Shelby County health director says people can report business in the city of Memphis by calling 311. In the suburbs, call the health department or the municipality the business is located. Then Code or law enforcement will handle it.
"We don't want to have to cite anybody or fine anybody. We just want everyone to obey the directive and keep this disease from spreading," says Bartlett Mayor Keith McDonald.
"We're already itching to go, almost all retail opened up today," says Terry Roland with the Millington Chamber of Commerce.
Roland says Millington and the rest of Shelby County are ready to get back to business. Roland doesn't think there will be an issue with businesses not following the new guidelines.
"We're going to do it voluntarily. This is the United States of America and we're not fools. We've got pretty good sense. We know what to do and not to do and we're just going to police ourselves," says Roland.
"This is not the time to let our guard down," says McDonald.
So the bottom line, you can call the city, health department, or the municipality to report a violation - but in reality, most businesses will be policing themselves.

'Across the Great Divide' blends Celtic and Americana music using simple yet sensitive harmonization to create a tasteful celebration of the diversity of folk music in New Zealand.
Using their own innovative and unique arrangements the trio offers a fusion of traditional and contemporary, airs and songs, foot stomping fiddle tunes from both the Americana and Celtic traditions, and original compositions.
The name comes from the Kate Wolf song and was originally the concept for the trio's first concert. It seems to have organically stuck since then! The idea was experimental to see how the resonator and Celtic harp sounded together, add a fiddle, move to a cajon for some rhythm or a piano, and the rest is very recent history.
Karen Jones
Singer, multi instrumentalist and educational music specialist Karen Jones was born and raised in a musical family in Auckland, but spent a good chunk of her adult years, cutting her teeth in Scottish traditional arts and assimilating Scottish culture in Edinburgh. There she ran a popular weekly session and became an active member of the folk community. Traditional Scottish music soon became her inspiration and passion. Karen guested in the first 'Flowers of Edinburgh' and 'Scottish Stramash' concert in Edinburgh and more recently on various stages including the Auckland Folk Festival and Devonport Folk Club. She co-runs the monthly Tradition Bearer Session here in Auckland and her mission is to engage pakeha in their own heritage through music and song.
Tony Burt
Versatile musician and composer, Tony's performance style ends towards the Americana folk traditions from finger style guitar, bluegrass, old time, blues roots and western swing. As a resonator player he performs with artists such as Rainberry Pie, Carol Bean, Albi, and often backs or joins a host of artists at festivals, concerts and recording on the reso's "hubcap" and Weissenborne. As a solo artist, Tony filmed and produced the documentary "The Snapper Sandwich" a unique mix of live performance and film which debuted at the New Zealand International Documentary Film Festival "Doc Edge" and continues to engage audiences around the country. Tony always looks towards the challenge of how music can blend together to create new ideas, for him New Zealand is a melting pot of traditions all worth celebrating with music and song.
Krissy Jackson
Krissy has played the violin from the tender age of 2 and has literally had a life full of music. Dabbling in various genres, including classical, celtic, country/bluegrass, jazz and more recently, klezmer traditions, Krissy is always up for a new challenge and often joins other musicians in the studio or on the stage. Krissy loves looking at the history behind the music, the people and places that traditional music is written about, no matter what the geographical location. Currently working as a teacher of singing and violin, Krissy hopes to inspire and encourage young musicians on their journey.

Stone Sea // Brazilian-Irish Trio Talk Influences & Inspirado With Rock 'N' Load
So for anyone unfamiliar with yourself, tell us a little bit about your backstory and how you ended up here.
Well, the band was originated in Brazil in 2014 by the vocalist and guitarist Elvis Suhadolnik Bonesso, the band recorded their debut album 'Origins' and shortly after, Elvis moved to Ireland, where Stone Sea became a 3-piece, and recorded their EP's 'Vaporizer' and 'Mankind Maze'. The band then underwent a lineup change with the addition of drummer Connor Middleton; and bassist Jonathan Parminter.
2. What's Happening Now: Tell us about what you are currently up to, Here you can put in a press release to plug your latest offering.
This year we are working on a new album, so there are plenty of new songs on the bank to be recorded. We'll be releasing a music video for an alternative version of one of the tracks of our latest EP Mankind Maze (2019) and for one of our new songs. We also have a UK tour booked in September, but we're depending and hoping that the Corona Virus situation will be better by then.
Manking Maze (2019)
3. What is next for you?
Our short-term goals are mainly focused on playing at bigger festivals, opening for bigger bands, also working towards a new tour around Europe. For the long-term plans, our main focus is, apart from world domination, live by our music.
Influences & Inspiration
Elvis – I remember being 11 years when I first saw Nirvana's new song and music video "You Know You're Right" on MTV. I couldn't understand the lyrics, didn't know about Kurt's life but the emotion and attitude got me whole. Then a while later my dad showed me a DVD of Black Sabbath, I went mad at the Sabbath's atmosphere. It's like if Nirvana connected with my inside world and Black Sabbath with the world around me, Music transcends languages I wanted someone to feel the same way I did, to feel connected and understood.
