The first cult of the demoscene?
Harry Sonford
"Your first impression is your first truth. The second truth you achieve by questioning your first truth. The third you are often too lazy to deal with, which ultimately leads to prejudice."
The demoscene is a community like any other. People spend time with each other, work together on different projects and feel connected, needed and respected. Every year the differences becomes fewer in terms of occupations and rank, everyday something changes. But even though your demoscene resembles the outside world a lot, there still are some things you can't find in it. One of those things are something a lot of people in this world are frightened of, something everyone tries to stay away from and fight against. An organization with great powers and a lot of controlled whole-heartedly followers, without a true picture of the world they're living in and the organization they're a part of. Instead of wasting time and energy on trying to get the true pictures themselves, like cattle they trust their chosen leader in everything. As you all understand, I'm talking about a cult, a sect. To know if a group of people fairly can be judged as a cult or not is very difficult. This article will investigate whether a new demogroup called NEXTEMPIRE (hereon labeled "NE") should be considered a cult or not.
"NEXTEMPIRE is a pc demogroup founded by KOZMIK its current leader in 1999 with over 13 members each knowing at least one programming language. NEXTEMPIRE is considered by peers of the demoscene as one of the top 10 demogroups ever and its members usually obtain VIP tickets at demoparties".
The best way to attract followers is to act very respectable. Your disciples should be very proud of being a part of your group. It gives them motivation and it gives them a sense of meaningfulness. They feel needed, important. NE's leader, KOZMIK, thought of that, and because of his smart opening he managed to attract a lot of followers directly. Even though the statement is very untrue, KOZMIK's new "groupmembers" will not find it out in time. As soon as they're members they won't question anything KOZMIK says.
"We have been to these demoparties; theparty 99, dreamhack 99, dialogos 99, assembly 99, buenzli 99, takeover 99, overseas 99, arf! 99, birdie 99..."
Another important thing of a cult is to give the members a purpose to spend their time on it. They need something to strive for, a goal to succeed in accomplishing. NE's purpose seem to be visiting and contributing to demoparties. To attend a demoparty, compete with an intro, a tune or some graphics is something holy, very much like Muslims travel to Mekka. It also gives NE publicity and a better reputation. After a party it is smart to write a party-report, something NE's KOWBOY, among others, have responsibility to do. That gives the group a lot of positive things, which by the same time encourage the members to continue their work.
One of the most controversial aspects of a cult is the leader's handling of his followers. It is always the leader who makes all the decisions, always have the truthful opinion and always knows best. The leader is a God and the individual members doesn't have a lot of value. Every person is as worthless as the other, they're all just tools for their leader to get all the glory. All this is very obvious in NE. As you see above, they all had to write close to exactly the same for the online-magazine Orange Juice. They even have to use a nickname of six letters, starting with the letter K. By this KOZMIK show his power and superiority. Also note KOZMIK's picture compared to his members.
One asks himself what the point of KOZMIK's NEXTEMPIRE is. To make KOZMIK feel respected? To earn him money? Perhaps he was depressed and was about to commit suicide when he got the idea of forming a cult to then later drag with him? We can't know. All we can do is to stay away from the dangerous NEXTEMPIRE and try to think for ourselves. And please, watch our for brainwashing components in their demos and intros.

People who bought retirement homes at a development in Bridlington have found the value of their properties have reduced by more than half in the past decade, a BBC radio show has claimed.
Saturday's Money Box programme on BBC Radio Four gave a national audience to the story of pensioners who moved into Burlington Court, but now find their homes are worth a fraction of what they paid for them.
The programme, which was also promoted on breakfast TV, highlighted residents who had bought their apartments for sums of around £160,000 but had made a loss of almost £100,000 on them years later.
The Burlington Court development was built off Gordon Road, in Bridlington's Old Town by McCarthy and Stone in 2006, but last year, two of the properties sold for under £40,000.
Estate agent Nicholas Belt said the development was something of an "anomaly", caused partly by the location.
He said: "Burlington Court has been affected worse than anywhere else. I think there were not enough parking spaces, the flats are not new any more and some of them had not been particularly well looked after."
Mr Belt added that other similar retirement complexes in Bridlington had not seen the value of properties fall so sharply.
A spokesperson for McCarthy and Stone said: "The vast majority of our retirement apartments increase in value on resale.
"Significant improvements to the quality of our homes and service levels in the last five years has helped us achieve the highest customer satisfaction rating of any UK housebuilder, which in turn has had a further positive impact on resale values.
"It is also important to understand that the value of specialist retirement housing is not purely financial.
"It improves lives, provides peace of mind, care and support and ultimately helps older people maintain their independence.
"However, we recognise that there are a small number of cases, particularly with our older properties, where resale values of some apartments haven't performed as we would have wished.
"This can be down to many reasons, including the performance of some local property markets.
"Unfortunately, Burlington Court is one of those cases and we are very sorry to hear of the issues experienced by some residents.
"We urge anyone affected to contact our in-house resale team so we can provide them with all the support we can."

Big smokehouse flavor accompanies everything this restaurant, which smokes its own meats in-house. As befits an American joint, the menu is packed with meat, everything from ribs to burgers, pork, chicken, and sausages, often served piled on top of one another as a juicy protein mountain. This is the kind of place where beer comes in buckets, wine is just red or white, and it's completely acceptable to eat with your fingers. Larger, cleaner, and less tacky than many American restaurants of the same vein, Sugar Rays is better than the real thing.

Choreographer, dancer, and educator Phyllis Lamhut is the recipient of the 2013 Balasaraswati/Joy Ann Dewey Beinecke Endowed Chair for Distinguished Teaching. She began her lifelong dance career at the early age of fifteen, when she joined Alwin Nikolais at the Henry Street Playhouse Theater on the Lower East Side of Manhattan.
She was a dancer in the Nikolais Dance Theatre for over twenty years, performed as part of the Murray Louis Dance Company, and officially incorporated the Phyllis Lamhut Dance Company in 1970. She has choreographed works on the Limón Dance Company, Ririe-Woodbury Dance Company, and the Theatre Ballet of Canada, among many others. Ms. Lamhut currently serves on the dance faculty at New York University Tisch School of the Arts and continues to mentor choreographers and dancers.
For over four decades Phyllis Lamhut has remained dedicated to teaching the exploration of motion and kinetic expression to students throughout the world. Her zeal for the art form and continued commitment to teaching the principles of choreography have earned her critical acclaim, and she is a widely sought after teacher and mentor for both students and emerging choreographers.
"From her stunning work as a performer with the Nikolais and Murray Louis companies, to directing her own company, to mentoring young artists, Phyllis Lamhut has been an inspiration to many. Her dedication to teaching the craft of choreography and her insightful vision, guidance, and support to future dance artists have made her an outstanding choice for this prestigious award," said ADF Co-Dean Gerri Houlihan.
Ms. Lamhut will be honored in a ceremony at White Lecture Hall on the Duke University East Campus this Friday, June 14th, at 7 p.m. The event is free and open to all interested members of the public.

This is Arya recovering from a long holiday season followed by knee surgery.
Love the name and the chill expression. Hope she is recovering well! Knee surgery can't be fun for a pup. :(
Awe, rest well baby.
Awww, sweet pup. Hope she gets to feeling more energetic soon.
For some reason I expected to see a photo of a cat jumping out of a bag? meh.
That's a dog primed for snuzzling (snuggle-nuzzling). Knee surgery is rough, I've heard, especially keeping them calm enough afterwards. I hope it went well!
Aww, smushy face! I hope the knee is all better.
French,I'd been thinking the same thing. The cat is out of the bag!
I know how you feel, Arya. It's before 10 am here, and that's about all I'm good for! :) I hope you recover swiftly and painlessly.
Is that a faceless man or a frustrated Stark? I know. I can't help myself. Yet, another precious pooch of the Reef.
Aww, sweet pup! Well, I should go make some coffee, lest I share her expression at my early meetings.
Arya is our expensive pup...from mass destruction as a puppy (tearing up flooring! Eating electronics!) to blowing out both her knees over the last year and a half. But seeing her run pain free, ears and tongue flapping in the wind, makes any thoughts of money disappear.
I hope you feel much better soon, Arya! The v-e-t probably gave you tranquilizers. Soon you'll be back to tearing up the floor.
What a great sleeper. Hope her knees continue to heal!
I've always wondered why dogs and babies (or anything fuzzy) look so adorable in these sorts of pics... also sneezing and yawning. With grown-up humans, it's so opposite.
What's that chemical in turkey again? Looks someone may have snuck a few scraps from the platter. Or maybe Arya just finished watching the marathon showing of "A Christmas Story" on TBS and is dreaming about the escapades of the Bumpus hounds?
She looks mighty comfortable. I hope she recovered fully from her knee surgery. Plus, I love her name. Arya is my favorite character in GoT.
I know a party animal when I see one!
Manda, Arya is adorable. I love the snout shot. I hope she heals well.
I'm listening to audio book The Birth of Classical Europe- From Troy to Augustine by Simon Price and Peter Thonemann. I'm not a history buff and if I had to read it I would have probably stopped but the audio version holds my attention. It's absolutely fascinating how intricately mixed the East and West are. The authors consider how the ancients viewed their own history. One fact that fascinates me is up until the late 19th C. there was a mosque on the acropolis in Athens. Another is the Alexandrian scholars in the 3rd century BC catalogued greek texts by genre.
Re "expensive pup": Here's my public service announcement.
All of you with pets or thinking about getting a pet, please get pet insurance while they are still puppies or kittens. Our original vet told us that it was a waste of money so we didn't get it. BIG mistake. By the time we thought of it, our dog had pre-existing medical conditions. It adds up over the years...
A dog is adorable. A dog has a very squishy face.
EM, my mind went there as well.
Jumping on the 'awww! Hope she heals well' bandwagon.
Missing having a puppy, now.
Oh, Arya, I've had days like that. Recently, in fact.
Manda, it's never fun when they're in pain. All the money it costs to make them feel better is worth it. You're taking great care of that girl.
Awwww, what a great face. Hope Arya's fully recovered by now :D
Arya's face makes me want to squish it, and make ridiculous baby talk noises - except - the face is already squished. I'll just go with the baby talk. Wook. Wook at it.
Either way, she's a big ole hunk of lovable doggie. Here's running full speed and pain free! She deserves our adoration.
She looks totally zonked, very much like me some days. However, UNLIKE me, she looks sweet and cute while zonked. Hope she is recovering well.
I too hope Arya has or is recovering. I hope she recovers enough to find joy in things other than slobbering on the couch.
I was hoping today would be a day with baby somethings and a caption about the Queen turning over a new leaf.
Aw, what a sweety. It's amazing how dogs look gorgeous sleeping like that (with their face mushed up), but not so much people.
I hope Arya's making a full recovery.
Craig, I also thought that would be today's post!
Cute baby! What kind is she?
Arya has healed up well and has nearly regained all the lost muscle. She is back at it with Ivy (second dog), poking our cats, Eve and Sparta and has made fast friends with our one year old. Especially at mealtimes!
Cynthia - she's a lab.
Claire - Arya is also my hubby's favorite and I lost the coin toss. Not that I can see her as anything other than an Arya now.
Glad to hear she's recovered nicely.
Move back. That dog's in a huntin' frenzy.
Seriously, great shot. Makes me want to cuddle up and nap with her.
I'm glad she's recovering well. It's so hard when our fur babies get sick.
I love the melting face shot. I wouldn't want a melty dog, but I have a soft spot in my heart for them.
Hi Manda - your husband has great taste in names :-) But sorry you lost the coin toss. When it came time for our family of four to name our second dog, it turned into quite the wrestling match. Eventually we came up with Zazu (for Zazu Pitts), but my husband just couldn't stick with that and she became Zuzu . And now, as you say, we can't see her as anything other than a Zuzu.
What a sweetheart! And I love the name Arya. Glad she's all healed up, Manda!
QOTKU—Congrats on your new leaf :)
Dena and Manda You both have beautiful pups.
Pretty sure I looked just like that after my knee surgery. Manda, I'm glad to hear Arya is healing and recovering well.

Is Bridge Haven right for my loved one?
For families with aging or elderly parents, the trigger that parents are struggling to care for themselves is often a crisis. Reaching out to help vulnerable elders before difficulties occur may prevent future falls, fractures, accidents or seasonal illness that could mean a trip to the emergency room.
Families typically discuss alternate care options when parents are no longer safe at home and would benefit from full-time care. Why wait until a crisis? At that point, families have little time to research their best options. In some cases families are forced to take what services are available, and not what is ideal for their parent.
To be proactive families should ask the question now: Can mom or dad still live alone? To help determine that answer families should look for the following:
Changes in Health
- Unexplained bruising
- Weight Loss
- Difficulty walking or getting up from a seated position
- Forgetting medications or taking more pills than the prescribed dosage
Changes in Well-being
- Loss of interest in family, friends or favorite activities
- Missed appointments, especially important doctor visits
- Changes in mood or lack of emotional control
- Forgetfulness, confusion or frustration doing routine tasks
Changes in Appearance
- Unpleasant body odor from infrequent bathing
- Decline in grooming habits such as forgetting to comb or style hair
- Bad breath from lack of teeth brushing
- Wearing wrinkled, disheveled or dirty clothing
Changes in Household
- Spoiled food
- Laundry piling up
- Dirty dishes stacked in the kitchen sink and on counter tops
- Excessive visible debris on carpeting or flooring
- Insects or ant infestation
- Stacks of unopened mail, late payment notices or calls from bill collectors
- Strong foul smell in the home
Recognizing these deficiencies is the key to taking action. If several of these warning signs are present, experts advise families to proactively discuss the necessary steps to help keep their loved ones safe and healthy.
Celia Patti whose husband moved into Bridge Haven assisted living, says, "With services like these, there comes a price. But there is one thing you can't put a price on, and that is the health and safety of your loved one." Providing a stable and safe environment for family members is first priority for her.
If you have safety concerns about an aging family member, please give us a call. Bridge Haven can help. Many families find an assisted living environment actually enriches the relationship with their loved one because they can now spend more quality time together.

For Immediate Release
Ol Pejeta's innovative approach to tourism, conservation and community wins top honours at global awards ceremony
Bangkok, Thailand – April 27, 2017. Ol Pejeta Conservancy is extremely proud and humbled to have won the Community Award at the 2017 Tourism for Tomorrow Awards. The Award Ceremony was held in Bangkok, Thailand earlier today (27th, April 2017). Ol Pejeta trounced stiff competition from resort chain Cinnamon Hotels and adventure travel tour operator, G Adventures.
Ol Pejeta's Community Development Manager, Moses Muthoki received the award on behalf of the Conservancy.
"I dedicate this award to the staff we have at Ol Pejeta and mainly to the communities we work with, people who are very resilient…These are the people that really deserve this award. For conservation to be where we want it be it cannot happen without the participation of the community," Moses said.
The Tourism for Tomorrow Awards recognise how tourism can create socio-economic and cultural benefits for local communities and environments – in line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The Community Award is given to organisations that use gains from their tourism activities to foster positive societal change among communities directly affected by their operations.
Richard Vigne, Ol Pejeta CEO said, "receiving this prestigious award is a fantastic not only for Ol Pejeta but Kenya in general. This award is proof that our model of working closely with communities is the only way of conserving endangered species like rhinos at scale. We feel that this model should be replicated across the world to further conservation."
Five categories are recognised during the annual awards namely: Community Award, Destination Award, Environment Award, Innovation Award and People Award.
Ol Pejeta is a not for profit organisation that reinvests 100% of its income from tourism into conservation and community development. Through business enterprises and with the help of willing donors (both large and small), Ol Pejeta Conservancy works to develop the funding necessary to pay for our wildlife conservation work, and to support projects that benefit the people living within our neighbouring communities.
By the end of 2016, Ol Pejeta had raised and dispersed over US$ 6.5 million in support of our community development programme. We work with local government and a variety of elected community representatives across the county to identify projects that qualify for assistance from the Conservancy.
All projects are assessed on a case-by-case basis, and must contain some element of community contribution. We concentrate on the following core areas: health, education, water, agriculture and the development of community based conservation tourism ventures. Based on regular socio-economic surveys, we aim to provide the support necessary to address real needs and to make a real difference to the lives of our communities.

After living in Cannes for four months, I feel comfortable enough to say that I am an honorary Cannois and as an honorary Cannois, I am compelled to say that Cannes is the ideal spot to visit, vacation, study abroad, or (hopefully, one day) retire. This city taught me so much about french culture, European culture, the film industry, and (queue the study-abroad-cheesy line) myself. So I am here to tell you why you should go to Cannes, if you ever have the chance to visit France.
- Everyday is the perfect beach day: Obviously if you are looking for a great vacation destination, Cannes is a perfect place. It has miles of beach for people to lay out under the beautiful blue sky and warm sun, or swim in the crystal clear salty waters of the Mediterranean sea. I am ruined because of the Cannes beaches, which are ridiculously clean and the water is clear enough that when I look down at my feet I can see the little fish swimming up to me. There are little food stands about every quarter mile down the entire beach and coastline that sell ice cream, fries, sandwiches, and drinks. If it is peak tourist season, you can rent paddleboards or other aquatic sport equipment. Some of my favorite memories in Cannes are of myself and a group of friends at the beach, laying in the sand or floating in the water. The sea is really salty too, which many people hate, but it does make it easier to float. And the waves are very mild, so just grab yourself a drink from the beach side snack stands, rent a floating device, and relax in the Mediterranean sea for a little while.
- Cultural Immersion: When people think of France, they primarily think of Paris and, of course, when most people visit France, they visit Paris. Paris is a very important french city which you should definitely visit, but if you are looking to really immerse yourself in the french culture, Cannes is the way to go. Paris is super touristy which means you won't really get the full cultural experience that is half the fun of traveling to a foreign destination. Especially if you want to learn the language, you should go to Cannes. You could even take language classes at the International Collège de Cannes, which is a language immersion school. With three hours of french class, five days a week, you will pick up the language and culture in no time. Plus, unless you are there during the film festival, there are not a lot of tourists in Cannes which gives you ample opportunity to try to practice your language skills with the french locals. But even if you are not interested in learning french, don't worry. Almost everyone in Cannes speaks english. It can be a bit of a small town at times, but this can be a good thing because it means that it is easier to learn the way of the locals, whether that is doing the best local leisure activities, going to the best local restaurants, or observing the locals and trying to understand and adapt to their culture. One of the biggest cultural differences that I found, and actually enjoyed adapting to, was that the french live to eat. And play. And relax. Really, they know how to say enough is enough after a day of hard work and take their time to live a higher quality of life. This usually takes form in insanely slow walking, early closing store and restaurant hours, and maybe even a restaurant closed on a random day at a totally random time. Since Cannes is also a beach town, it is clear that the locals know how to take it easy. And immersing yourself in that type of culture is really quite refreshing.
- Food: Everyone knows the french are known for their cuisine, and rightfully so. French pastries such as croissants, pain au chocolats, and crèpes are incredible and must-haves in France, as are non-pastry french dishes like escargots and ratatouille. But what a lot of people may not realize is that there is also a lot of region-specific french food as well, and Southern Provincial french food is to die for! One of the most popular dishes is moules-frites, which is mussels cooked in a white wine sauce, served with fries. It is really delicious but be careful where you get it from because myself and a lot of people in my study abroad program got food poisoning from it at one restaurant. Another dish is a Niçoise salad, which is traditionally made with anchovies. I'm not a big fan of those pungent little fish, but if you are, definitely give this local salad a go! But, if you're like me and not a big fan of stinky fish in your lettuce, then definitely try a Salade du Chevre (goat cheese salad). It is make with lettuce, tomatoes, and lightly toasted goat cheese over tiny pieces of toast served with a balsamic vinaigrette (which is not really southern/provincial specific but still an absolute must-have in France). Try any of the local sea food (or fruits de mer) that Cannes has to offer as it is super fresh and amazingly delicious. You should also venture to a local market one morning to try local, Provincial produce such as cheese, olives, and maybe a few pastries as well! If you are looking for somewhere to eat out, I also have a few suggestions! For a nice lunch, try Le P'tit Zinc (which has an amazing Salade du Chevre). Or if you want a nice dinner, try Chez Vincent et Nicolas for some great Provincial french food or Astoux et Brun for some incredible seafood. If you want a nice coffee shop to do some work, or have a nice brunch, I suggest Casa di Nona or Café Picco (which is not anything fancy but it is right across from the Collège and has pretty good pastries and coffee).
- Location, location, location: Cannes is situated along the French Riviera in the region of Provence. The riviera runs along the coast of the Mediterranean sea, which means crystal clear blue waters and beautiful weather almost all year long. The region of Provence is home to beautiful little medieval towns that will make you feel like you are in an old fairy tale. And Cannes is perfectly nestled right in between Italy (just a two hour train ride away) and Spain (only a cheap hour long flight away). Basically, even if you get bored of Cannes, it is perfectly located right by some amazing places that you should definitely take the time out to visit if you are ever in Cannes. Some great nearby French cities to visit are Monte Carlo, Nice, Èze, and Menton, all coastal cities to the east of Cannes. Other provincial towns to visit are Nîmes, Arles, Avignon, and Les Baux de Provence. Each town has amazing medieval architecture and will definitely make you feel like you are in a movie. As I noted, Italy is just a two hour train ride away. Ventimiglia is the first city on the France-Italy border and it is a cute little coastal town, but make sure to have your french language skills ready because most of the locals do not speak english (but they do speak italian and french). You will find a beautiful, but rocky, beach here and some amazing Italian food. If you want to go to a more touristy destination, it is super cheap to buy train or plane tickets to Rome or Florence. For more information on some of the local traveling that I did, see my post "Pont, Palais, et Pizzas: Local Exploration."
- Hollywood: Even if most people have not heard of Cannes, they have probably heard of the Cannes Film Festival. This festival drops a Hollywood bomb over Cannes during the two last weeks of May. Inside the Palais des Festivals, there is the film market full of hundreds of film companies, from production to distribution, marketing themselves to fellow filmmakers and industry professionals. Half of the Croisette (a major street in Cannes) is blocked off for the Red Carpet, which dozens of celebrities climb up to three or four times a day when a film is premiering inside the Palais theater. The whole city buzzes with festival-goers, festival workers, security, military, police, and tourists and locals with signs begging for movie tickets for the chance to climb that coveted red carpet. During the two weeks, there are other film competitions going on all over the city, where people with Cinephile badges can try to get in to see almost any movie they please (of course, many times there are limits on who can or cannot get into the movies). But it is an amazing opportunity to see movies months before they hit theaters, or see movies they may not be able to see at their local theaters because they are independent films. There are also concerts and movie screenings (of old movies) on the beach. The entire city it lit up with excitement – and occasionally film industry stress – from the crazy atmosphere of Hollywood infiltrating that small french town. My experience at the festival was a bit hectic but also amazing. I gained experience working in the film industry and dealing with businessmen and women as well as the perks of getting to climb the red carpet twice and see the festival premiere of Sofia Coppola's new film. So if you want to visit a touristy Cannes, then go during the festival. It is a completely different town at this time of year than the rest of the year but it is still an amazing experience. (See my previous blog post: "Hollywood in France" to learn more about what I did during the film festival.)
These are only a few of the reasons that Cannes is the best place to visit/study/vacation. I have a billion more but that would turn this blog post into a thesis project. I may also be a little biased because Cannes was made a home to me for four months and it will always be another home to me but it does not take away from the fact that it is my favorite city and one that everyone should definitely travel to at some point.

South West youth unable to find jobs
The South West and Peel ranked tenth highest in Australia for youth unemployment with 21.6 per cent of people aged 15 to 24 years unable to find a job.
The figures were released in the State of the Regions 2018-19 report published by the National Economics/Australian Local Government Association.
The report stated job prospects for students graduating from universities had improved with 72 per cent of people with a bachelor degree finding a job in 2017.
Employment opportunities for young people without qualifications were more uncertain with disengaged youth and inequality seen as major concerns.
According to the report, the unemployment rate in the South West and Peel regions had increased 6 per cent since 2003 making the area one of the most disadvantaged youth employment regions in the country.
It was estimated that the national average for youth unemployment was 16.1 per cent, rising from 13.1 per cent in 2017.
Premier Mark McGowan said he accepted youth unemployment was still high, but there were some positive signs.
Mr McGowan said initiatives the government had undertaken to create more jobs for young people included investing $520 million in job-creating infrastructure across the regions.
He said the government had frozen TAFE fees, opened a jobs and skills centre in Bunbury, developed an economic plan for Collie and Bunbury and spent $40 million to boost tourism.
Mr McGowan also said the growing lithium industry provided enormous opportunity for jobs in the South West with Talison Lithium spending $200 million on expanding its Greenbushes mine.
"Albemarle is also planning a lithium hydroxide processing plant in Kemerton," he said.
"The WA IndustryLink portal will help businesses secure work on government contracts. WA Industry Link will ensure more opportunities are created for WA businesses, meaning more jobs."
South West MLC Steve Thomas said the labor government had perpetuated a fraud on the people of the South West and Peel region by abandoning their number one promise of job creation and job retention.
"By abandoning the younger generation who seek employment within their local communities, and who wish to remain in their local communities, the true metro focus of this regionally disconnected government is once again exposed," he said.
Vasse MLA Libby Mettam said while the Peel and the South West region have been combined as a region of significant unemployment, the youth unemployment rate for the Busselton was lower at 11.3 per cent.

Prices of new homes in China rise for a third consecutive month
Growth is reported for the third consecutive month, but the outlook remains uncertain
Prices of new homes on the mainland last month rose for the third consecutive month, with 63 of 100 cities monitored reporting growth, according to an affiliate of SouFun Holdings, the nation's biggest real estate website.
New home prices edged up 0.24 per cent from July to 8,738 yuan (HK$10,670) per square metre, a survey conducted by the China Index Academy showed.
The growth was less than the 0.33 per cent achieved in July. A total of 70 cities recorded price growth in July.
Analysts' views were mixed over the outlook for the mainland market, with some predicting that housing prices would continue to rise this month and next month - the peak season for the release of new projects.
But some analysts raised concerns over the extent of unsold stock, which they said would lower the potential for prices of homes to rise.
"Housing prices will continue to increase should there be no tightening or new measures over the next few months," said Alan Jin, a property analyst at Japanese brokerage house Mizuho Securities.
"There are nearly 85,000 development-related companies in China and you cannot expect them to act rationally and be self-disciplined. So the majority of them will hike prices once they have a chance."
Thirty-seven cities reported price declines, as against 30 cities in July.
Prices in 10 big cities rose 0.45 per cent month on month to 15,539 yuan per square metre.
The biggest increase in the 10 cities was 1.64 per cent in Wuhan . Other cities such as Beijing and Chongqing saw month-on-month price gains of between 0.1 per cent and 1 per cent.
Still, average prices last month were 1.6 per cent lower than a year ago, the China Index Academy said.
Alfred Lau, a property analyst at Bocom International, said : "Our understanding from the developers and property agents is that August sales slowed down compared to July."
With a lot of stock on hand, many developers would be in a rush to launch their flats this month and next month to meet annual sales targets, he said.
"We do not expect developers will have much bargaining power to lift prices," he said.
In a survey conducted by Hong Kong-based Centaline Property Agency, 262,416 properties were sold in 54 selected cities last month, down 5.7 per cent month on month from July's 278,162 properties.
A joint venture formed by two agents - Jinfeng Real Estate and Youwin - said new-home sales volume in Shanghai fell 6.63 per cent month on month to 802,200 square metres last month.

Oprah Winfrey is an American talk show host, actress, producer and philanthropist. She was born on January 29, 1954, into poverty by a single teen mom and was raised in an inner-city Milwaukee neighborhood. Sent to live with the man she calls her father, a barber in Tennessee, Winfrey landed a job in radio while still in high school and began co-anchoring the local evening news at the age of 19. Eventually, Oprah took over the daily talk show called "A.M. Chicago", which had very low ratings.

Oprah's Life
There are a few little known facts about Oprah that made her who she is today.
- Winfrey's mother was an unwed teen. Oprah had a few other siblings, including Patricia Lee who Oprah's mother gave up for adoption. Oprah has only recently found her long-lost sister Patricia and she was a guest on The Oprah Winfrey Show.
- Oprah's family was poor growing up, and as a child Oprah was teased at school for wearing dresses made out of potato sacks.
- At the age of 9, Oprah was raped by her 19-year-old cousin who was babysitting her. Oprah was later sexually abused by her cousin, a family friend, her mother's boyfriend, and her uncle.
- Oprah was pregnant at 14, but the baby was premature and died as an infant.
- Oprah Winfrey is the first black woman billionaire and the richest African-American woman. She is also considered to be one of the most influential women in the world.
- Oprah was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2013 by President Barack Obama.
Why Oprah is a role model
Oprah is a woman who came from an abusive childhood, survived various sexual assaults and a teen pregnancy, yet she is one of the most influential people in the world today. She is an actress, television host, producer, and philanthropist. She stands up for what she believes in when she wants something to change, and that is why she should be emulated. She is selfless and dedicated, which can't be said for most celebrities teens look up to.
Oprah has helped people for no profit for herself. She encouraged people to help Hurricane Katrina victims and her Angel Network raised more than $51,000,000 for charity. Oprah goes out of her way to help people, like the time she gave 50 high school students full college scholarships.
I also consider her a role model because she is a dedicated activist for children's rights. President Bill Clinton signed a bill into law that Oprah had requested to Congress. She assisted in the arrest of multiple child molesters. On The Oprah Winfrey Show, she featured a child predator list. Oprah pledged to reward $100,000 to individuals who provided information leading to the capture of those criminals. Nine fugitives were captured as a result of the list.

The Wild Geese lose – but win!
For the final game of the season, on Saturday 29th April, the Wild Geese hosted Chinnor in National League 2 South and lost by 22 points to their opponent's 33 – regardless of what the RFU Results website says! In case the linguists amongst you think the headline is paradoxical, let me say that the Wild Geese 'won' by securing their place in National 2 for next season, when the results of the clubs around us were taken into account. In fact, courtesy of a try-scoring bonus point, the Wild Geese finished 13th in the league table.
Chinnor were a big side – both forwards and backs – and probably outweighed the Wild Geese in every position. They began the game by putting incessant pressure on the Wild Geese defence and were rewarded with a try after 2 minutes, which was duly converted. They repeated the dose after 10 minutes with a try to take a 12-0 lead. At this early stage the visitors looked an imposing outfit but, on their first visit to the Chinnor 22, the Wild Geese scored a good try after 13 minutes, the touch-down being claimed by hooker Carl Gibson. Six minutes later, after a line-out steal, right-wing Matt Killeen scored; it was converted by centre Ben Kitching to level the scores. The Wild Geese threatened to take the lead at this stage, two potential tries being denied to them by fractionally forward passes. On the half-hour mark, the effects of Chinnor's weight advantage, and aggressive approach, began to tell, with lock Andy Evans having to leave the field with a knee injury. (This was but the first of Wild Geeseinjury concerns.) In stoppage time, Chinnor scored their third try – duly converted – to take a 19-12 lead into the interval.
Six minutes into the second half, Chinnor increased their lead with another converted try, and added to that in the 23rd minute with the same, to take their lead to 33-12. Any thoughts, however, that the Wild Geese might roll over and tamely succumb were null and void. Their scrum had become increasingly dominant as the game wore on and their backs had defended as if their lives depended on it. In the 40th minute, Chinnor had a player yellow-carded. The Wild Geese took full advantage from the penalty awarded, to gain a second try from Gibson. They ignored the conversion to set their stall out for the bonus point 4th try; in stoppage time tight-head prop Charlie Connor scored it, to make it a rewarding afternoon for the front row and the final score-line 22-33.
This was a good finish by the Wild Geese – battered and bruised but unbowed. The final three games saw a resolve, which – if this stance had been adopted earlier in the season – would probably have seen them in the top half of the table. It is worth noting that one has to go to the top half to find a team that had secured more try-scoring bonus points than the Wild Geese.
This is my final match report after several years and I make no apology for my seemingly critical comments not so long ago e.g. after the Barnstaple game. These were meant to provide a metaphorical 'kick up the backside' and, if they had an effect, that was a positive outcome. Allied to this was a greatly improved concentration on discipline in the final games of the season. If the team can commit to the afore-mentioned resolve and levels of discipline next season, there is no reason to expect anything other than a successful sojourn in National 2 South.

St. Joseph's College School
Photos by Alan L Brown - Posted January, 2011
Here at 74 Wellesley Street West, on the north side, west of Bay Street is this 2008 plaque which says:
Coordinates: 43.664131 -79.388771
Originally called "St. Joseph's Academy for Young Ladies," the private school was founded by the Sisters of St. Joseph and was located on Power Street.
In 1863, the Academy was incorporated in a new convent built by the Sisters of St. Joseph at the southwest corner of Bay and St. Alban's Streets, now Wellesley Street West.
The Sisters' property, which grew to occupy a city block, housed in addition to the Academy, their Motherhouse, Novitiate and later St. Joseph's College, which was established in 1911 for women students of St. Michael's College in the University of Toronto.
In 1928, the Academy was renamed St. Joseph's College School.
When the Ontario government purchased the convent property to construct four office towers, the Sisters of St. Joseph relocated the College School across the street. Students helped with the move, carrying furniture across Wellesley Street.
St. Joseph's College School at 74 Wellesley Street West opened on September 3, 1961.
The College School became entirely publicly-funded in 1987. The Sisters leased the school to the Metropolitan Separate School Board. The last Sister of St. Joseph serving as principal retired in June 1996.
The Toronto Catholic District School Board bought the College School property from the Sisters of St. Joseph in December 2007.
This plaque was dedicated on October 26, 2008 to the Sisters of St. Joseph, the teachers, the students and the staff in their pursuit of excellence in education since 1854.

Hi Alan, There's a wee typo at the beginning of this item: the plaque is at 74 Wellesley St West, not 14.
I've been away from the plaque hunt for a while and am now back, and would like to tell you how happy I am that you are still posting these fascinating things. I look forward to hunting up all the new ones that you've posted in the last year or two. Thank you for your work in making this information more widely accessible.
Cheers,Margaret Shepherd

Salman Khan on his Rs 11 cr fee, pregnant Akshay Kumar and day 1 fights
Bigg Boss 11 had a grand premiere Sunday evening as Salman Khan began the show by introducing commoner and celeb contestants.
And the show was an entertainer on the day one itself!
There are 15 contestants on the show this time – TV actors Shilpa Shinde, Hiten Tejwani, Hina Khan, Priyank Sharma, VJ Benafsha Soonawalla , Jyoti Kumari, Sshivani Durgah, Sapna Choudhary, Puneesh Sharma, Zubair Khan, Akash Anil Dadlani , Sabyasachi Satyapathi, Luv Tyagi, Mehjabi Siddiqui and Lucinda Nicholas.
Here's a look at some of the best moments:
Salman denies getting Rs 11 crore for Bigg Boss 11
Introducing the latest season of the show, Salman said "Log keh rahe hain Bigg Boss Salman ko Rs 11 crore de rahe hain.
Nhai de rahe, 'Exploitikaran' hai boss! (People are saying Salman Khan is being paid Rs 11 crore for Bigg Boss. No, that is not true, this is exploitation)."
Salman Khan talks about his 'neighbours'
Salman said, "Mai, aur mere padosi – jaise ki Shah Rukh, Aamir, Akshay. Hum theatre tak to apko le aate hain par TV ke saamne lane ke liye kya kya nahi karna padta.
Khud ko bechna padta hai. Mai yaha aate rehta hu, Shah Rukh bhi aata rehta hai. Aamir bhi saal do saal me, jab unka mind kare to aate rehte hain.
Akshay to pregnant bhi ho gae, posters dekhe nahi? (Me and my neighbours — like Shah Rukh, Aamir, Akshay.
We can bring you to theatres but we have to do so much more to get you in front of TV. We have to sell ourselves.
I keep on coming here. Shah Rukh also comes. Aamir also comes here every year or two when he feels like it. Akshay had to get pregnant, did you see his posters?)"
Parody of Salman's hit songs
Salman grooved to parodies of some of his hit songs, including Didi Tera Dewar (Hum Aapke Hain Koun), Mere Rang Mein Rangne Wali (Maine Pyar Kiya) and Hangover (Kick). The lyrics talked about the new season of Bigg Boss and it was fun watching Salman doing his antics.
Salman and Judwaa 2 team perform on Judwaa songs
Varun Dhawan, Jacqueline Fernandez and Taapsee Pannu made a grand entry as they took the audience on a musical tour of the Bigg Boss house. Salman joined the trio as they grooved to Oonchi Hai Building and Tan Tana Tara.
Hiten Tejwani's entry
TV actors Hiten Tejwani and Gauri Pradhan danced to Salman's Prem Ratan Dhan Paayo.
The touching moment came when it was time for Hiten to enter the house and bid goodbye to his family. He hugged and kissed Gauri and his two kids embraced him in tightly.
Salman jokes about his own court cases
When Salman invited Sapna Choudhary to the 'katghara', Sapna told Salman "mai aafat hun (I am trouble)".
Salman retorts, "Aafat ho? Tab to katghare me khada hona padega. Mai bhi hua hoon (You are trouble?
Then you have to stand in the witness box. I have done it too)."
Shilpa Shinde and Vikas Gupta
TV actor Shilpa Shinde acted all cool when Salman invited Vikas Gupta on the stage. However, things soon changed and Vikas talked about previous altercations with the Bhabhiji Ghar Par Hain star. In a war of words, Vikas told Shilpa, "Aap sahi pakde bolti hain par pakadti galat raasta hain."
The duo then had an ugly spat over the show and the ensuing fiasco. Salman tried to support Shilpa but quit when he saw the two were not listening to anyone.

A Traditional pujo of North Kolkata started by Raja Nabakrishna Deb, the heritage still remains the same here, durga idol is built in the nat mandir, rituals are celebrated in glory as Uma goddess durga belongs to home.
Raja Nabakrishna Deb (1737–97) founder of the Shovabazar Rajbari, During his lifetime Raja Nabakrishna Deb built two houses. The building at 33 Raja Nabakrishna Street, was the one first constructed by him, subsequently given over by him to his adopted son Gopimohan. The house at 36 Raja Nabakrishna Street was built by him when a son was born to him later in life and was left to his natural son Rajkrishna and his descendants. Both the houses celebrate Durga Puja with Glory.
In the North Kolkata "Bonedi Pujo" is very famous and when it comes to Bonedi Pujo then the first name that comes to our mind is Shovabajar Rajbari. Raja Nabakrishna Deb initiated the Durga Pujo first in the Rajbari or the King Palace in Shovabajar. The pujo takes place in the "Thakur Dalan" which is a huge place and all the family members are associated with the puja. Previously it was a single puja that took place but, now the puja has been separated in two parts. Now there are two Durga Pujas that take place here and they are termed as "Boro Barir Pujo" and "Choto Barir Pujo". The specialty about this pujo is "Ek chala thakur" that is decorated with different silver ornaments that is called "Daker saaj". They use all the original gold ornaments for the Goddess Durga. Gold is the only metal that they use for ornaments. People from different places come to this place just to have a glance of this rich ceremony that is organized by the Rajbari.

The Teen and Body Image
At what point can someone say, with confidence, that they are beautiful? What constitutes being beautiful? Does it suddenly happen when you reach a certain age, or is there some sort of merit prerequisite? I don't believe that any of those standards apply. For me, being able to say with confidence that I am beautiful came with a little shift of perspective.
Like many people, I have been chubby my whole life. When I was in elementary school, I was excluded for games for being "too fat" and "too weird." My life felt like a constant battle between myself, my wants, and my body. I never felt that I was good enough simply because people told me I wasn't. That belief solidified into reality for me as I grew older and heard the same phrases over and over again, with no one to tell me otherwise. By the time I was a teenager, I was convinced that I was the most worthless human being on the planet, simply because of my body's shape.
By the time I was a teenager, I was convinced that I was the most worthless human being on the planet, simply because of my body's shape.
During high school, I switched out of conventional schooling and into an alternative schooling environment where critical thinking was required. As I shifted into this new environment, I began to realize certain truths about the world, one of which is that no one can truly define beauty. When a group of people look at a certain piece of art, not everyone is going to agree that it is or is not beautiful. And just like two paintings are never the same, two people can never be the same either. In that sense, we as the artists of our own bodies, cannot let others define if we are beautiful. If we believe that we are beautiful, then we simply are. No matter what other people say and no matter what other people may think, they aren't you and they don't live your life in your body.
If we look at it from that standpoint, there is no one who can say that you are not beautiful!
But it isn't a mindset that can become yours overnight. For me, after a lifetime of being put down for simply looking how I look, it certainly wasn't overnight. When we are told things our entire lives, especially as children, we tend to accept them as truth. If we expect there to be a sudden, drastic change in nearly a lifetime of conditioning, it will not happen.
You have to approach it gently. Start with simple things. If you look into the mirror and say, "I hate this part of my body," Immediately pick another part of yourself that you like and give yourself some love. Another way of doing this is, if you look into the mirror and see an area you are unhappy with, place your hands on that area and send as much love as you can. After all, it carries you through your day, it make sure you can do all the things you want to do, why do you need to hate it?
Another exercise would be to try to stop comparing yourself to others. To go back to the painting analogy, you cannot place a Warhol next to a Picasso and expect them to be beautiful in the exact same way. In this sense, by comparing yourself to other people and expecting yourself to be just as "beautiful" as they are, you are automatically setting yourself up for failure. Praise your own unique and truly individual beauty simply for the fact that it is you and it is yours. Being gentle with yourself can be another small step toward a healthier body image. Try praising all the little things you do so well. Somehow, in our busy schedules, we all find the time to put ourselves down. Why can't we use that time to bolster ourselves? After all, that might make the day a little easier to get through!
It's the little things that will help you to change how you think about your own beauty and the beauty of others. Remember to be gentle to yourself, be kind to yourself, and seek happiness. No one deserves to be put down, especially not you.

DOOM ROOM is a church.
An immersive Virtual Reality performance that guides our perception of identity.
The oracle welcomes the audience and perform communion. One at a time a blindfolded audience of six enters a room.
Here they embody a hunter with a bloody heart in his hand. They go through a spectrum of emotions and spaces that all try to make their heart beat.
But by traveling through these constructed realities of hyper sensuality and suspension they find themselves searching for meaning, which in the end will resolve in their realization that they themselves are physically present in the only narrative available - their own.
The performance is recommended by Information, Politiken, Teater 1 and the danish cultureblog Kulturshot, gives it 6 out of 6 shots and adds:
"Doom Room is a sensuous and surreal experience that leaves you with food for thought.
An experience you dont want to miss!".
DOOM ROOM is an art installation commissioned by I AM Vodka.
I AM Vodka approached the creators of Doom Room and gave them a simple, yet complex task: create an installation that moves us. The idea behind this approach was to stop conforming to traditional marketing approaches and instead let the true creatives create something real, raw and extraordinary.
For that purpose the duo was given 100% artistic freedom to envision something that was not constrained or restricted and instead they were tasked to imagine and create the opposite: something free and limitless.
What are you waiting for?
Die and be reborn in the DOOM ROOM.

Beadell Resources Limited
Recently, Beadell Resources Limited (ASX: BDR) has announced the results of a Feasibility Study (FS) on a plant upgrade project, incorporating the addition of a 6MW ball mill, a high-rate thickener, another leach tank and an oxygen sparging system (Project) at its 100% owned Tucano gold mine (Tucano) in northern Brazil. The throughput will be maintained at 3.6 million tons per annum and recoveries are projected to increase to 93% from the current budgeted recovery of 88%. Further, on 11 April 2017, Beadell released an updated Ore Reserve statement that highlighted a 7% increase in ounces to 1.575 million ounces and a 9% increase in grade to 1.74 g/t gold. After depletion, the new Ore Reserves increased by 18%. As the mine deepens there will be an increasing amount of sulphide ore, which requires a finer grind to achieve economic gold recoveries. The new ball mill will allow for a grind size of 75 microns and will enable the mine to be fully optimized for any combination of sulphide and oxide ores. Throughput remains at 450 tones per hour for a nominal annual throughput of 3.6 million tons per annum. The timing of the FS was driven by the need to undertake Project civil works and concrete pours during the dry season in the second half 2017 and expected to be completed in mid-2018. The FS demonstrates the viability of upgrading the Tucano process plant with an incremental estimated post-tax net present value (NPV) of US$127 million at a 5% discount rate and an estimated internal rate of return (IRR) of 138%. The estimated pre-production capital cost is US$27.6 million, while the payback period for the Project is estimated as 14 months.

New Mass Effect comic dives into Illusive Man
Mass Effect's Illusive Man is quite the mysterious fellow. No one seems to knows much about him but his orders are pretty much the word of God as far as the shady Cerberus organization is concerned. Who is he? Where did he come from? And, for that matter, how did Cerberus came to be?
These and perhaps other questions will be answered in a new four-issue comic, Mass Effect Evolution, that Dark Horse will be releasing. As co-writer John Jackson Miller explains, "Evolution is a story from the early days of the Mass Effect universe, not long after the discovery of the Mass Relays connecting our solar system to the galaxy."
"It shows us one of those important moments when humanity realized just how dangerous that galaxy was. Yes, there's wonderful opportunity out there, but there are also perils; as our story opens, we're in the middle of the First Contact War with the alien turians. We don't know much about the enemy, and they don't know much about us — and, as we'll find out, there's a lot more at risk than losing a starship or a colony."
The series won't be answering every question, but should give a "good sense" of the chain smoking Man.
The first issue will be released in some time in January, 2011.
