The Fqsida member organizations affected by the federal cuts, together with their Canadian counterparts, are pursuing their efforts to have their funding maintained and to obtain an in-depth review of the way Ottawa funds the fight against HIV.
At a time when ending the pandemic seems technically possible, the Federal Government's lack of vision is to be deplored.
In this highly precarious context, your support for the fight against HIV in Quebec makes an even greater difference. Your one-time donations are also very precious to us! Thank you!
Yvon Couillard is the general director of GEIPSI, a Montreal organization working with a highly marginalized clientele: people living with HIV/Aids or the Hepatitis C virus and who present a profile of homelessness, drug abuse and, sometimes, mental illness. The interview he gave us casts a worrying light on the future of the fight against HIV in Canada.
Federal funding represents 45% of the budget of GEIPSI. For Yvon, the priority is clear: the day centre must be maintained. However, the loss of federal funding would mean eliminating one of the two practitioner posts, reduced services and shorter opening hours.
For now Yvon is waiting for a response to his request for a transitional budget, which, when granted, enables the organizations concerned to keep receiving funding for a year, after which their directors have to present their strategic funding plan. The cuts planned by Ottawa are in no way called into question and the organizations are asked to find for themselves the money they need for their activities!
The situation is particularly worrying since Ottawa does not seem to have any vision on the fight against HIV and Hepatitis C. In Quebec, for example, organizations working with injectable drug users (who are among the key population groups), homeless persons or women (other than sex workers) are mostly threatened by the federal cuts. There does not seem to be any strategy to replace the services threatened by the cuts!
Yvon knows he can count on the mobilization of the community movement for the fight against HIV to obtain federal funding for 2018-2022 for the threatened organizations. However, he does not hide the concern of his team and his beneficiaries.

A manager at Florence Nightingale Hospice is preparing to take on the challenge of a 10,000 foot sky dive in aid of the charity.
Florence Nightingale Hospice Charity's fundraising manager Frankie Munden, will be taking the plunge from the plane on Sunday May 10, as she joins a team of sky divers all jumping in support of the charity.
Frankie said: "I don't know if I'm mad or brave, but I do know, I'm always asking people to take on one of our run, cycle or walk challenges to help raise funds for Florence Nightingale Hospice, so now it's my turn to step into our supporters' shoes by taking on a 10,000ft sky dive over Hinton Airfield."
Alongside Frankie there will be ten other sky divers hoping to raise essential funds for FNHC, which supports both in-patient and at-home palliative care services for families battling life-limiting illness in and around Bucks.
Frankie, who lives in Shenley Church End said: "I have done a jump before so should know what to expect, but it is still a little scary! There's still time to take on a sky dive for Florence this year, as we have another jump pencilled in for Sunday 6th September – perhaps I'll see how I get on first, before I sign up again!"

Edeland, a major town in Nigeria, was thrown into a mourning mood on March 14, 2013, with the untimely transition of one of its illustrious sons, late Colonel David Alamu Bankole Laoye, a charming prince of Ajeniju extraction at the age of sixty-nine (69). A prince who never let off airs, despite being born into royalty.
For late Colonel Bankole Alamu Laoye, it was a life well lived. It was a life of adventure and one that was well coped with despite various challenges that came on his way. Prince Bankole Laoye was an enigma. A totally detribalised Nigerian, who ensured that human beings are well accorded their rights and recognition, no matter how lowly placed they are. He abhorred cheating.
Born into the Royal Ajeniju House by late Oba (Dr.) John Adetoyese Laoye (the Drummer King, who took Ede on international excursion during his reign) and Olori Flora Ebun Laoye, he started adolescent life at Baptist Boy's High School Abeokuta, Ogun State where he made his marks with distinction.
This top-brass military officer knew what he wanted out of life early enough, as he got enlisted in the Nigerian Army in 1964 as a member of Nigerian Defence Academy Regular I Cadets Officers course. He had as his mates at the NDA Regular I course, the likes of Lt. General Oladipo Diya (rtd), Lt. General Salihu Ibrahim, a former Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Gusau, a former National Security Adviser, Major General Rabiu Aliyu – one time military Secretary and many others. Before he enlisted in the Nigerian Army, he worked briefly at Western Nigeria Housing Corporation after he left Baptist Boys' High School, Abeokuta. This was a common feature in those days to have a taste of the civil service.
Late Colonel Bankole Alamu Laoye had a distinguished career in the military. He was Commander, 132 Battalion Obosi, 2nd Mechanised Division during the Civil War under late General Muritala Mohammed. Late Colonel Bankole Laoye was at the heat of the 30-month civil war between 1967 and 1970. He gave a good account of himself as a career military officer and came out of the war unscratched. He was an officer and a gentleman.
After the Civil War, he served as a Brigade Major under 33 Infantry Brigade, Maiduguri and proceeded to become Colonel-General staff at the Directorate of Infantry in Bonny Camp, Victoria Island, Lagos, under Major-General Adedayo. Late Colonel Bankole Alamu Laoye was a Chief Instructor at Command and Staff College Jaji. Among his trainees, as a Company Commander at Nigerian Defence Academy were four-star Generals, like retired Air Marshall Petirin. He was the acting Military Governor of Western State in 1975, when the substantive Military Governor, Major-General David Medayese Jemibewon, went on vacation. He held the front well without any hitch.
Having carved a niche for himself in the military, late Colonel David Bankole Alamu Laoye decided to serve his immediate community of Ede in different callings. He passionately loved Ede and gave it the best he could, not only as a prince, but as a humble leader, who mixed freely with the less-privileged in the society. He was an incontrovertible study in humility, doggedness and silent achievements. He was incorruptible. He carried himself with elegance and candour. He was magisterial in his disposition.
As an acting Military Governor of Western State in 1975, he gave his Ede home town a peculiar identity for vehicle registration number of OY- B. The town's people jubilated. Colonel Bankole Alamu Laoye was so full of love for Edeland that he influenced, as a member of old Western State Executive Council, the citing of the Cocoa Products Industry at Ede and also, on behalf of the late Oba John Adetoyese Laoye, donated the land where the industry was built as the Administrator of the family land. When moves were surreptiously made to relocate the Cocoa Industry from Ede, late Colonel Bankole Laoye was instrumental to its non-removal. He stood like the Rock of Gibraltar behind Ede and the Cocoa Industry.
The repositioning of Ede railway line as a terminus of the then Bendel line was through the silent moves of late Colonel Bankole Laoye. As a lover of tourism and hospitality industry, he established the first major hotel in Ede, known as FLORA MOTEL, in memory of his late sweet mother. It was years later that he established a branch of the hotel at Bodija, Ibadan. That showed the patriotism in the late Colonel Bankole Alamu Laoye; that home is first.
As a member of CONFAB in 1994, during the Abacha regime, where he actively participated, late Colonel Bankole Alamu Laoye used his enormous influence, in cooperation with other members of the CONFAB, to create Ede South Local Government Area, which thus brought additional local government area into Edeland, even though his election into the said CONFAB did not enjoy the votes of his Ede people. To Colonel Bankole Alamu Laoye, that was no issue. He is a prince of Ede, and believed very rightly that he should give his community the best, whether or not he was appreciated.
In 1991, he ventured into the murky waters of politics, when he contested to become a Senator under the defunct National Republican Convention, but lost to Senator Omilani of Social Democratic Party. He enjoyed the greatest support of the likes of Alhaj Umaru Shinkafi, Alhaj Abdul-Azeez Arisekola Alao and late Dr. Hammed Kusamotu in his bid to become a senator in the 1991 contest. The rest, as they say, is history. He felt no bad blood. No malice, no grudge.
In the last few months of his sojourn on earth, late Colonel Bankole Alamu Laoye was a member of Ede Trust Intervention Committee, where he served as the coordinator of the home branch. The committee was set up to ensure that a local council development area was given to Ede in the course of the last exercise by Ogbeni Aregbesola government to create more local council areas for Osun.
Late Colonel Bankole Alamu Laoye was always at meetings held at the Cameron Road, Ikoyi residence of Alhaj S. O. Babalola, who is the Grand Patron of the Committee, among other eminent Ede indigenes. He served the Intervention Trust Committee so diligently and ensured that the briefs of the committee were duly transmitted.
An elder of the Action Congress of Nigeria, Osun State Chapter, late Colonel Bankole Alamu Laoye gave his best to the service of the party till he breathed his last. But posterity did not allow him to reap the fruits of his labour. It is only hopeful that the party will not allow his labour to go in vain.
That is the man, Colonel David Bankole Laoye, a charming, elegant prince. An erudite military tactician who gave all of his best to serve his country, humanity and, indeed, his Ede community. It will be eternally on record that late Colonel Bankole Alamu Laoye remains an uncelebrated true hero of Edeland, going by his splendid contributions to the town, where he was somehow unappreciated and misunderstood for reasons best known to some members of the community.
Perhaps, the greatest secret of the success profile of late Colonel Bankole Alamu Laoye was that he did not believe in pleasing everyone, particularly the so-called elites. He did also not care about what hypocrites think of him. He was himself. His life was a lesson for us all at Ede to appreciate those who, at the background, are contributing to the development of our land without making noise. Let us de-emphasise the trend of hero-worshipping emergency-millionaires, people of shady characters, women of easy virtue and do-no-gooders generally, who are mere pretenders amongst us.
And here goes a man we shall forever cherish and adore. An eminent Ede citizen of candour, patriotism, carriage and courage, whose "infectious", disarming smile, we shall miss forever. He was there for Ede, but were we there for him? Sweet is your memory, David Bankole Alamu Laoye. Goodbye and goodnight.
Lawal writes from Ede

Tim Tebow against Sam Bradford. Urban Meyer vs. Bob Stoops. The SEC against the Big 12. Florida vs. Oklahoma. This year's BCS National Championship is loaded with intriguing storylines, but the most interesting may be the SEC's domination of the BCS.
If Florida beats Oklahoma (and they are favored to do so), the Gators will win their second BCS National Championship in three years. It would also make the SEC a perfect 5-0 in the title game since the BCS originated in 1998. Tennessee won that first year. LSU won in 2003 and again last year. And Florida won in 2006.
How good has the SEC been? At 4-0, they aren't just the best conference in the BCS era—they're dominant. No other conference has won more than two BCS National Championships and. No other conference even has a winning record in the big game. The Pac-10 is closest at 1-1 thanks to USC.
Here's the breakdown:
BCS National Championship Success
Pac-10: 1-1
Big 12: 2-3
Big East: 1-2
Big Ten: 1-2
Not that Oklahoma needs any added incentive. They represent the Big 12, and will play in a record fourth BCS National Championship. However, they are just 1-2 in the big game under Coach Stoops.
And conference success on the big stage means more than just bragging rights. It means more media attention. It means a boost in recruiting. And, if everyone plays their cards right, it breeds more success. The SEC's Georgia Bulldogs began the season as the nation's top team. Alabama, also of the SEC held the #1 ranking for several weeks. Florida now holds that spot and looks to finish the season on top.
Win or lose, the Gators will be among the top teams again next year along with several other SEC schools. The SEC is 4-2 in the '08-'09 bowl season heading into the finale. The one loss that sticks out came against an opponent from the Mountain West conference. How come they never get a shot at the BCS?
But until the little guy gets a shot or a playoff system is instituted, the big bad SEC is going to remain king. Tonight, expect plenty of offense from both sides. But in the end, Tebow and the team speed of the Gators is too much for the Sooners.
Florida 42, Oklahoma 35 is the pick.

What to do when fake news goes viral, based on last week's now-debunked Betsy DeVos resignation story.
By Alexander Russo
Over the last week or so, the education world has gone through a roller-coaster ride of emotions over the rumored (and since debunked) notion that Education Secretary Betsy DeVos was on the verge of quitting her job.
What happened in brief is that – based largely on a single speculative quote in an otherwise balanced Politico profile – progressive outlets and critics of DeVos spread the rumor that DeVos was frustrated enough that she was about to quit.
A handful of education reporters and outlets raised as much of a stink as they knew how to raise. Nobody had produced any real evidence that such a thing is about to happen. In theory, stories don't get much easier to debunk than this one. And eventually, the outlets involved corrected their stories.
But none of these efforts prevented the rumor from going viral, including roughly 420,000 Facebook likes and shares based off a single Salon story.
"The Facebook shares on this Salon story are ridiculously high," said Mike Caulfield, head of the Digital Polarization Initiative at the American Democracy Project. "I mean, wow."
In the larger scheme of things, the DeVos rumor may not be all that important. But what if the story had been about something more important, changed the course of events, or caused readers to take action in real life? And what happens the next time someone claims DeVos is headed to the door?
The DeVos rumor illustrates – not for the first time – just how powerful social media can be, how susceptible traditional journalism is to what often gets called fake news, and how little journalists know (or are able) to do even after it's been recognized.
Here's what happened this time, and some advice from experts about what to do when it almost surely happens again.
Politico magazine's profile of DeVos, first published November 1.
At first, Politico magazine's profile of Betsy DeVos seemed most notable for the juicy-for-Washington tidbits reporter Tim Alberta had gleaned from three days with the controversial Education Secretary.
In the piece, headlined The Education of Betsy DeVos, the Michigan conservative explained things (like why she had persisted in visiting a school despite protesters blocking the way) and shared her feelings (that the transition team assigned to her by the White House was largely responsible for her notably godawful confirmation experience).
The overall thrust of the Politico piece was that DeVos was settling in: "Anyone betting against DeVos serving all four years of Trump's first term… is underestimating the sense of duty and moral righteousness deeply embedded in someone who could be doing just about anything else right now," wrote Alberta in the piece. "DeVos appears to be hunkering down and mapping out where she can maximize her impact."
The subtext behind the Politico story suggested a certain degree of comfort on the part of the EdSec and her media team. Cabinet heads don't usually give access to Politico journalists for long features if they're feeling embattled or about to resign, and they don't usually make comments that could anger White House officials unless they're feeling somewhat confident about their position.
The image accompanying the piece – DeVos sitting at a wooden table with a green apple – looked like an old-timey portrait.
The original version of the Salon story, headlined "Officials expect DeVos to resign."
But then, over the next week, sites like Salon and AlterNet and HuffPost repackaged the Politico story into a narrative suggesting that a frustrated DeVos was pretty close to resigning from the job.
In what would prove a brilliant move in terms of readership, Salon published the AlterNet story with the headline Officials expect DeVos to resign from Trump administration.
This new version of the story was based mostly on a single speculative quote buried deep in the long Politico story: "In Washington education circles, the conversation is already about the post-DeVos landscape, because the assumption is she won't stay long," said Tom Toch, a former education journalist who now runs an education think tank at Georgetown.
Almost immediately, the liberal end of social media lit up. Devos is one of the most-disliked of Trump's cabinet members, viscerally so among teachers and many parents. There's nothing many of her many critics would like to see than the abrupt departure of this rich, seemingly clueless Trump appointee.
Alarmed by a storyline that seemed obviously untrue, a handful of education reporters and others (I among them) tried to knock the story back. But these efforts were no match for such a juicy tale. And, as it turned out, they may have been misplaced.
Among the outlets that posted a version of the DeVos resignation piece were MassLive, HuffPost (in the form of a contributor's blog post), and the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Asked how she ended up writing about DeVos's departure, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution's Maureen Downey told me that she'd originally written something up about DeVos's criticisms of the Trump transition team in the Politico piece, but then saw the HuffPost article about the possible resignation and slipped that in. The possibility DeVos would leave so soon didn't seem like a stretch to her. "Nothing would surprise me at this point," she said in a recent phone call. "Anything can and will happen."
However, most of the traffic was being produced by social media.
As of yesterday, the Salon version of the story had racked up a whopping 417,000 likes on Facebook. (A Yahoo! version of the story spread widely as well, much of it on Reddit.)
The top points of distribution for the Salon story were Facebook pages called The Good Lord Above and Being Liberal. The top distribution sites for the Yahoo! version of the story were subreddits for politics and teachers.
Relatively little of the sharing was going on via Twitter.
CrowdTangle report showing more than 400,000 Facebook interactions and nearly 21 million social media accounts reached from the Salon story alone. (For an explanation of "total followers," go here.)
Fake news and its many cousins have been a frequent topic of conversation among journalists and journalism watchers over the past year and a half.
Among those involved in trying to address the spread of disinformation are First Draft News, BuzzFeed's Debunked, the Washington Post's Abby Ohlheiser, Snopes, PolitiFact, and NewsWhip (a paid service). The topic is concerning enough that the Nieman Lab runs a weekly column about it called Real News About Fake News. Poynter operates an International Fact-Checking Network.
Though commonly associated with the alt right and Russian hackers, disinformation is not just problem among conservative outlets. In structure and in its willingness to pass along stories that stretch the facts, the network of liberal blogs and Facebook pages parallels the conservative version.
It's worth noting that many of those involved in the disinformation debate don't like the term fake news, which can obscure differences among different kinds of stories and has been turned into a partisan epithet.
By a strict standard, the DeVos resignation rumor wasn't really fake news, in that it wasn't created out of thin air, according to Peter Adams, senior VP of education for the News Literacy Project. It was irresponsible journalism on the part of Salon, creating a clickbait headline and sensationalizing the Politico story. But "it wasn't like Salon was saying we've got this scoop," he noted. "It was a claim without evidence."
By many names — misinformation, disinformation, rumor — this kind of thing has been a particularly stubborn problem in education.
Many of the fake education stories Snopes knocks down seem to be harmless (if gross) – misbehaving teachers, rumors of free coffee at Dunkin Donuts.
But some of them are quite serious. In January, BuzzFeed noted that the fake Obama ban on the pledge of allegiance being required at schools was the top-shared fake news story of 2016, at 2.7 million shares (a story that I shared unknowingly at the time).
They can impact the public debate over policy issues. Just a few weeks ago, The Grade ran a column about the potential spread of disinformation in education journalism that's already been documented on hot-button issues like the Common Core academic standards.
And they can divide communities. A recent story in The Guardian described the real-world effects of a fake news story about the supposed 'Islamic plot' to take over schools in Birmingham, England.
Education journalists are doubtless aware of the phenomenon of viral fake news in education, but have seemed concerned about it in just a couple of narrow ways: guarding against passing fake news on to readers – the horror! – and writing stories about efforts to educate kids and teachers against disinformation. Their own role in responding to fake news about education issues is something that has not been frequently addressed.
In this, education journalists are not alone. A writeup of a new American Press Institute study finds that U.S. newsrooms are 'largely unprepared' to address misinformation online.
Fake news is a problem, but, the thinking seems to have been, it's someone else's problem.
The majority of newsrooms only "sometimes" or "very rarely" address misinformation on social media and comment platforms, according to the survey of 59 newsrooms API just published.
Folks concerned about the DeVos rumor spread the alarm on Twitter, tried getting others involved, and pressured Salon and AlterNet to correct their stories.
BuzzFeed education reporter Molly Hensley-Clancy described the Salon story being passed around as "a very shaky 6-day-old Alternet aggregation of Politico's profile," noting that the Politico story did not report or even imply that she was going to resign.
Chalkbeat's Matt Barnum wrote a piece headlined "No, there's no reason to think DeVos is planning to resign."
Morning Education, the education newsletter that's part of Politico, denounced the resignation story: POLITICO did not report DeVos' days are numbered.
Another education site called The 74 noted that progressive outlets that denounced fake news were now, well, running a fake story.
For his part, Toch tweeted that he hadn't been "suggesting her plane's idling at National with a flight plan to Michigan." (Then he went back into prognostication mode: "I give her a year.")
Several of the voices heard denouncing the story were far from DeVos allies. "If you're going to decry 'fake news' then you best not be sharing it," wrote Audrey Watters in her weekly roundup, Hacked Education News.
The collaboration among different journalists and advocates was heartening to some, a silver lining in an otherwise grim situation.
"I saw a lot of other education reporters from many outlets tweeting out the facts here," said Barnum, understandably appreciative of having been joined by many peers.
Brandon Wright, editorial director for the conservative-leaning Thomas B. Fordham Institute was also gratified that "across the spectrum of the ed policy world, people were very vocal about correcting it, publicly encourage people to not spread such things."
By Friday, November 10th, Politico's Morning Education noted that everything was fine: Fake news fixed. AlterNet and Salon had revised their pieces – somewhat.
But of course, while Politico's honor was somewhat restored, the overall situation was far from fixed.
Politico was among a handful of smaller outlets that attempted to knock down the DeVos resignation rumor.
Conventional wisdom is that viral stories can't be stopped once they gain steam, no matter how incorrect they may be.
"A lot of the time these things can't be stopped," said BuzzFeed reporter Jane Lytvynenko. "I'll write a debunk of something and it still keeps going. It doesn't matter no matter how much you refute the disinformation."
But what if a major news outlet had stepped in to debunk the story. Or what if one of the many fact-checking and anti-disinformation operations that have sprung up in recent years – PolitiFact, Snopes, FactCheck, BuzzFeed, etc. – had gotten involved?
In a case so straightforward as this, without anyone pushing the resignation narrative forward, knocking down the story might have actually worked. The theory is that if someone can catch the story before it's gone viral, ideally being the first response to a Facebook post or tweet, then it can be blunted. "If you get to it fast enough, you can kill its virality," said Adams.
But we'll never know, because that's not what happened this time.
Distracted, confused, or indifferent, big-reach outlets like the New York Times, AP, Wall Street Journal, and Washington Post seemed to have sat on their hands. There was, strangely, nothing from Snopes or PolitiFact or anyone else that I've seen.
Education Week, the nonprofit media outlet dedicated to comprehensive coverage of K-12 education issues, seems to have been silent on the issue other than a single tweet from its PoliticsK12 team.
On Monday afternoon, the 13th – a full week after the resignation narrative spread around the internet – the Washington Post's Valerie Strauss finally found time to get to the story, writing "Don't bet on her leaving soon."
But obviously the story was already out there. The damage had been done.
This fake Sarah Palin SAT scoresheet is a good reminder that there's nothing new about fake news other than its speed of travel.
So, what are the lessons from this DeVos rumor debacle? Here are some tidbits from experts in disinformation and viral news that might help:
Lots of outlets have social media and digital engagement staff these days, but there is often a functional and even cultural divide between them and the reporters and editors in the newsroom. Reducing these divides is key to addressing viral disinformation being spread, says Jane Elizabeth, director of the American Press Institute's Accountability Journalism project.
Better communication among reporters and social media staff can prevent reporters from passing along bad information and – most important in this instance – bring the full weight of a newsroom's social media infrastructure to bear when a reporter's personal Twitter account isn't enough.
"I wonder what would have happened if those education reporters had gone to the social media teams in their newsrooms for help, instead of just trying to take this on themselves using their own accounts," Elizabeth said in a phone call. "Trying to do this individually is not going to work. They need the power of the main account behind them."
Some of the reporters involved in the effort to debunk the DeVos rumor may have tried these approaches. As far as I know, institutional accounts from major national news outlets were not deployed.
Reporters tend to know lots about where their colleagues and sources are hanging out on Twitter, and sometimes in real life, and they may use Facebook and Reddit for personal purposes. But they don't necessarily know where their readers are hanging out online, says Elizabeth – and most don't know how to use Facebook professionally.
"We all think we know how to use Facebook because we use it in our daily lives, but using it our professional capacity is completely different," said Elizabeth, who used to write and edit education for the Pittsburgh Post Gazette.
This is a big problem when rumors are being spread and reporters need to be able to target individuals or influencers who might be spreading this or who could stop the spread of this. "You should really be informed about which of Facebook groups on your beat have the most followers and the most active engagement."
Sometimes, reaching out to the heads of these groups directly can be effective, according to Elizabeth.
A Chrome extension called CrowdTangle seems to be the easiest way to find out how a story is being shared. Plug in the URL for the story you're wondering about, and the app will tell you the overall numbers (for Facebook, Pinterest, and LinkedIn) and the top-sharing sites (including Facebook, Twitter, and Reddit).
There's a clear and as yet unmet need for a reliable rapid response source for flagging disinformation while it's still outbound.
"What we try to do is to stop the rumor, we try to break the stream before it spreads too far," said Snopes' Brooke Binkowski. Binkowski recommends using old-fashioned email. That didn't happen in this instance, though she reports that handful of emails were sent to Snopes starting as early as November 2nd.
For now, at least, there is no 24/7 rapid response team, no always-available hotline that can consistently jump in as needed.
In the meantime, be your own rapid response team, both within your outlet and perhaps in collaboration with the teams at other outlets.
The Politico story highlights the importance of reporters finding sources who really know what they're talking about, limiting the use of unsupported speculation, and being careful not to use the most inflammatory quotes you get just because, well, they're juicy.
In the Politico story, Alberta quoted critical comments about DeVos from think tank head Tom Toch, even though they were by the reporter's own admission "somewhat harsher" than what other insiders and USDE staffers had to say.
Based on his quotes, Toch doesn't appear to have anything to add beyond what any regular reader of education news might know.
In most cases, that's not a problem. In the current era, there can be enormous repercussions.
Toch declined to be interviewed for this piece. Asked about whether it was wise to have quoted Toch in the way he did, Alberta did not respond.
So far, at least, most of the attention paid to the disinformation issue among education journalists has been focused on coverage of students and teachers being trained to discriminate between fact-based stories and other kinds. The Education Writers Association held some panels about this last spring at their national conference. (See here and here.)
Based on the past couple of weeks, that might need to change.
It might not seem obvious, but some journalists and news teams don't think of it as part of their responsibilities to combat disinformation as long as the story is not coming from their own newsroom.
There are all sorts of reasons for this attitude, including a disinclination to take on other journalists' work and having too many other things going on (pushing out links to their own content being one of them).
But, given the state of the journalism ecosphere right now, and the lack of trust readers have in journalism, it might be time for newsrooms – not just individual reporters – to embrace a broader role that includes addressing false information on their beat.
"It's our job as journalists to be on the front lines of combating #fakenews on social media," according to a proposition tweeted from NPR's Anya Kamenetz.
For the time being, at least, Salon, AlterNet, and other sites prone to passing along misinformation are going to do what they're going to do, and Facebook and other social platforms are going to keep letting it happen.
The question is whether journalists can take on the role of limiting their impact.
Let's hope we can be part of the solution next time a story like this comes along.

NASHVILLE, Tenn — The U.S. health care legislation, commonly called Obamacare, likely will affect church finances and church employee health benefits for years to come.
But, a year after the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, U.S. annual (regional) conferences still are grappling with how best to make use of the reforms.
Much will depend on the extent that conferences can use the onlineinsurance marketplaces, which are scheduled to open for enrollment by Oct. 1. The options on the marketplaces are just starting to become public.
"Some conferences are seriously considering allowing covered lay workers and some covered clergy to opt out of the conference plan, essentially by allowing their local churches to opt out, … to seek coverage on the exchanges," said Andrew Q. Hendren, associate general counsel at the United Methodist Board of Pension and Health Benefits. He is the agency's expert on the Affordable Care Act.
But, to take advantage of the marketplaces, church benefits officers face a number of questions, including one that is distinctly United Methodist and that awaits an Internal Revenue Service ruling.
In the connectional system of Methodism, who counts as the clergy's employer? Is it the church or ministry where a clergy member is appointed or is it the clergy member's conference?
If the answer is the local church or extension ministry, then many clergy can shop in the insurance marketplaces and potentially qualify for federal subsidies. If the conference is the employer, then the conference likely will be on the hook for providing insurance benefits for clergy under the Affordable Care Act's large-employer rules.
Hendren and others are quick to point out other questions remain about the new marketplaces. Chief among them is what insurance options will be available and at what prices.
For now, Hendren advises conferences "to take a cautious approach."
At least one conference — Florida — plans to take the leap, sending lay local church employees onto the insurance marketplace next year.
How health insurance works now
In The United Methodist Church, conferences historically have had the primary responsibility for sponsoring or participating in a group health plan that covers full-time clergy and lay employees in the United States.
Local churches generally contribute to the health benefits of their pastor and other workers through apportionment payments, direct bills or a combination of the two. Church law, however, does not require health coverage for lay workers who are not employees of the annual conference.
Conferences devote about a quarter of their revenue each year to health plan benefits, according to the pension board. Conferences also frequently use substantial time at their annual sessions to discuss health benefits and concern about their escalating costs. Some United Methodist benefits officers hope that could be changing.
"It's a fascinating place to be working because it's so complex and completely different from what we're doing now," said Lonnie Chafin, the Northern Illinois Annual (regional) Conference's treasurer. "But the potential is still huge."
If more church employees can rely on the insurance marketplaces for benefits, he predicts that local churches in his conference will be able to afford to have more clergy appointed.
How insurance marketplaces work
Here's how the marketplaces — also called exchanges — are intended to work. The law requires all 50 states and the District of Columbia to have health insurance marketplaces where people without insurance through their employer or some other program like Medicare can buy coverage from an array of private plans. The federal government will establish the marketplace in states that do not set up their own.
All insurance plans — whether in the marketplaces or not — must meet certain standards, such as selling coverage to everyone regardless of pre-existing conditions. New insurance policies will be mandated to cover preventive health measures without any cost-sharing from the patient.
Because these new marketplaces can pool large groups of people, the expectation is that the insurance options will be more affordable than what individuals or small businesses now can buy.
The federal government also will provide subsidies for individuals and families in the insurance marketplaces whose household income is between 100 percent and 400 percent of the federal poverty line. That translates to annual income between $11,500 and $46,000 for an individual or between $23,500 and $94,000 for a family of four. Amounts designated for housing or the rental value of parsonages are not included in calculating income, Chafin said.
For example, Chafin said, in the Northern Illinois Conference, 90 percent of the clergy would qualify for subsidies on the insurance exchange if the clergy member's salary is the only source of family income.
"The difference between qualifying for (subsidies) and not is clergy spouse income," Chafin said.
The marketplaces will not be an option for everyone. Employees must continue with their employer plan if the cost for their individual plan is less than 9.5 percent of household income.
The law also will require companies — including nonprofits — with 50 or more full-time employees to provide health care insurance just as most do now. The Obama Administration announced July 2 announced that it would delay penalizing companies that violate the "employer mandate" until 2015.
However, Hendren noted, most United Methodist congregations have fewer than 50 employees. And it might be less costly to both the churches themselves and individual employees to use the marketplaces.
Chafin said he sees the possibility that more lay people will be able to pursue a calling to work at local churches since they'll be able to get health benefits elsewhere.
A big unanswered question
Still, identifying the employer of United Methodist clergy remains tricky.
The United Methodist Church has about 14,800 retired clergy, and 31,760 active clergy in the United States. Most conferences require that full-time clergy be covered by the conference health plan.
The Book of Discipline, the denomination's law book, asserts that clergy are not employees of a local church, district or conference. Their ministry is derived from Christ.
Church law also recognizes that for purposes of taxation, insurance and other benefits, governmental agencies may classify clergy as employees. The paragraph just does not specify what church entity is the employer, and the employer can vary depending on the circumstances. For example, clergy are self-employed for employment tax purposes.
The IRS applies a "common-law test of employment" to determine who the employer is under the health care law, Hendren said. The common law test examines numerous factors, including who provides a place of work, pays the salary, provides benefits, pays for work supplies and has the ability to terminate employment.
"Though many factors point to the local church or the charge conference being the employer for this purpose, the appointment and removal powers of the annual conference leave some ambiguity for elders and local pastors," Hendren said. "The local church is arguably more clearly the employer of deacons under the rule."
Hendren and other United Methodist leaders are working with the IRS to resolve the issue.
The United Methodist Board of Pension and Health Benefits joined with benefit boards of other denominations in urging the IRS to apply the employment "shared-responsibility" rule at the local church level in all denominations.
"We hope that the IRS adopts that suggestion in a published final rule later this year," Hendren said.
The delay in enforcing the "large-employer" health insurance rule gives the IRS more time to respond.
Another related question still is being worked out, Chafin said. That is whether conferences and local churches will be able to continue to distinguish between clergy and lay workers in what benefits they offer or whether the new law's nondiscrimination rules will require that if you offer health benefits to one class of employees, those benefits must be offered to all.
What we know about the exchanges so far
The premium rates on state marketplaces are just becoming known.
The Washington Post reported in May that California has unveiled likely rates on its exchange that are lower than expected. On average, the newspaper reported, a person who chooses a mid-level plan can expect to pay around $321 a month, about $100 less than the amount projected by the Congressional Budget Office.
Oregon, Maryland, Vermont and Rhode Island also have released proposed premium rates for individual policies "that are surprisingly competitive with … group plans like annual conference plans," Hendren said.
In the near future, he said, United Methodist annual conferences may be able to reduce health coverage costs by allowing local churches to send lower-paid clergy and lay employees to the exchanges.
However, Hendren warns that conferences also should be wary of sending too many church employees onto the exchanges or they may have too small a pool of people to buy affordable insurance.
"The conferences will have to balance that potential savings with the risk to the remaining smaller plan made up of a few large churches and small churches with higher paid clergy and lay employees," he said. "The smaller plan may be less cost-effective, and appointment frictions may develop as local churches may prefer premium tax-credit-eligible clergy over higher paid clergy — two concerns in a connectional system like ours."

Obituary of Philip G. Stolarski Sr.
Philip was a family man who would be there for anyone that needed him. He was so reliable that friends of the family would call him "Uncle Phil". When it came to his work as an electrician and a handyman, he made sure that the people who needed his help could contact him any time, day or night. In his own home, which his father-In-Law built, Philip made new kitchen cabinets, stools, flooring, plumbing, and electrical work.
One of the most important things to Philip was his garden, where he would grow much of the food that his family lived on. Whenever there were extras of anything, he made certain to share leftovers with family and friends. With the pumpkins that came from his garden, Philip enjoyed baking pumpkin pies from scratch. Please take a packet of vegetable seeds to plant a plant at home and to always remember how Philip's love took root in your heart.
Stolarski, Philip G., Sr. of Gardenville (West Seneca), NY, on February 5, 2018. Beloved husband of the late Helen (nee Stworzydlak) Stolarski; dearest father of Kathleen, Philip G. Jr. (Janis), Rosemary (Raymond Edward) Jablonski, Elaine, Gregory (Brenda Ecklund), Mark, Diane, Gerald, Virginia (late Whitman Smith) and the late Jan Martin (late Kathi); Loving Grandpa and Poppy of Raymond Philip Jablonski, Rochelle (Alex) Romero, Nicole (Todd) Buchanan, Ellen, Adrianna & Philip G.

Dear XML Protocol WG, We are sorry that this comes a bit late. At our editorial meeting last week, the I18N WG realized that some important points were missing from our last call review of SOAP 1.2. In the last call review of the Character Model by the XML Protocol WG, the XML Protocol WG and the I18N WG/IG have been discussing how text normalization should apply to SOAP. For a compact summary of the decisions arrived, see: http://www.w3.org/International/Group/2002/charmod-lc/#C062 However, we have not found any text in the SOAP specs that says that the envelope/headers have to be normalized, nor that it is the responsibility of the payload provider to provide a suitably normalized payload. This should be added to the spec at the appropriate place. Regards, Martin.Received on Friday, 2 August 2002 03:52:06 UTC

Both of my parents were hard workers and proud of what they did. Nonetheless, I had no opportunity to watch them on the
job, nor did I understand in any hands-on way
what it meant to work as an adult. I was like
most kids in that way, I suspect. The only adults
I repeatedly saw at work were my teachers.
It occurs to me that one way teachers can
prepare young people for the world of work
is by making sure that as they watch us work,
we model the traits, attitudes, and habits of
productive, fulfilled, and successful people in
any job. We also have many chances to talk
with students about what
it means to do work you
can be proud of and joyful
about—and to show them
we believe they can work
like that, too.
in school so that I could get a job that would let
me afford some good clothes. Teaching was the
answer for me. I love what I do because I get to
work with you. Every day when I get up, I put on
something nice because it's a way to say to my students that you are important to me and the work I
do with you is important to me.
Then she went back to the explanation she'd
been giving.
As I watched that teacher with her studentsover the next few months, I came to under-stand that she was preparing them for life asproductive, contributing adults in a variety ofinterconnected ways. Justas with the dress comment,she never missed an oppor-tunity to help them imagineand be ready for a goodfuture in which they coulduse their distinctive skills.Here are some ways inwhich she did so.n She respected herstudents. She saw themas having great capacityto succeed. She investedher time and energy inthem. She was unfailinglyrespectful in her conversations with them andaccepted only respectful interactions fromthem. For some young people, the respect ofa teacher is a precursor for self-respect. For allyoung people, the respect of a teacher enhancestheir sense of worth.n She started with the assumption thatthey were smart. This teacher set very highachievement standards for her learners; herstandards of success were the same as those forthe best students in the state. She made surethe students knew the criteria for success, andshe gave them consistent and focused feedback.Almost without exception, they grew into whatshe saw in them.

Dolce & Gabbana Passion Eyes Mascara (get it here!)
I think this has ultimately become my favorite mascara of all time. I love the wiry brushes as opposed to ones with big, fat, soft bristles because the wiry ones really get in there and coat every single one of your lashes, defining them all. This is reminiscent of Diorshow Iconic to me, except better. The best comparisons I can make to it are Benefit's They're Real, except it's less clumpy, and Covergirl Clump Crusher, which is a perfect drug store dupe for it in my opinion. I highly recommend this mascara if you're looking for a splurge.
Urban Decay Eyeshadow in Woodstock (get it here!)
Obviously I had to buy this eye shadow because of the name. Kidding, but it did help make the decision a little. I know, I'm pathetic. But this shadow is actually amazing. Urban Decay's formula is clearly second to none and I normally would never buy a single pink eye shadow, but it works amazingly with the Urban Decay Naked 3 palette!
SKIN79 Super+ Hot Pink BB Cream (get it here!)
I jumped on the Asian beauty product bandwagon a little bit ago, and was hesitant to try the BB creams just because my skin is more of an olive-y shade. This was the most raved about BB cream I read about, so I picked it up on Amazon. I love wearing this when I want something in-between my foundation and just throwing on a tinted moisturizer (yes, I'm aware that's what a BB cream actually is but some BB creams lean way more towards tinted moisturizer). It does have the 'gray hue' that everyone talks about in Asian beauty products - but only when you pump it out. It is completely skin colored when you blend it onto your face!
Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge (get it here!)
This is the Beauty Blender but in drugstore form & price. I use a bunch of different Real Techniques brushes, and like the rest, this doesn't disappoint. It even has a flat end for applying makeup, which the Beauty Blender does not have. For $6, you can't go wrong!
Biore Deep Pore Charcoal Cleanser (get it here!)
I've been on a bit of a charcoal cleanser kick lately, and this one is in the lead for favorite charcoal product of all time. My face has never felt more refreshed than when I use this cleanser, which is saying a lot because I've tried a lot of skin products.
Boscia Konjac Cleansing Sponge w/Bamboo Charcoal (get it here!)
In line with the charcoal products, I've been using this charcoal cleansing sponge to wash my face when I use the Biore cleanser. It's really just like the regular Boscia Cleansing Sponge except this one is 'infused with Bamboo Charcoal'. Either way, I prefer this darker color to the white one because who wants to see all the crap you're washing off your face every single time?
Olay Fresh Effects Bright On Schedule Eye Awakening Cream (get it here!)
My biggest beauty issue is my under-eye circles (they're genetic, which is a bummer), and this has been helping me combat them super well. It has a cool metal tip to decrease puffiness in the morning and it brightens your under eyes instantly after applying. It's definitely my favorite drugstore under-eye product, and you can get it for $13 at Target!
Bath & Body Works Apricot + Honey Soufflé
I seriously cannot get enough of this stuff. It comes in a little tub and smells literally just like apricots and honey. It is so smooth and soothing on the skin, and is perfect to wear all day. You can even use it as a perfume substitute if you want! It's sold out online, but check your local B&BW store!
Dogeared State of Mind Michigan Necklace (get it here!)
I love Dogeared as a brand because it has so many cute ideas for gifts in so many different price ranges. The jewelry they sell comes in cute boxes with quotes or messages on the inside depending on what you're ordering (i.e. a friendship necklace, a necklace for a family member, etc.) They also have state necklaces, like the Michigan one that I ordered! So cute & reasonably priced considering all of the state jewelry floating around these days.
NorthFace Venture Rain Jacket in Graystone Blue (get a similar one here!)
I love these NorthFace rain jackets (this is my third one, I have a problem), and Zappos always has so many different colors to choose from. I got a color that is no longer on the site - it's called Graystone Blue but I would probably call it Graystone Purple if I was describing it to anyone. If you're looking for a quality rain jacket, this is it.
Baublebar Beaded Estate Collar (no longer available)
Unfortunately, Baublebar is no longer selling this necklace (I got it on sale when they were trying to get rid of some inventory), but Baublebar is known for their statement necklaces - so check out their website and see if you like something similar! They have a ton of amazing pieces for summer.
Rubbish Drawstring Waist Twill Jacket in Tan Nomad (get it here!)
This is my favorite clothing purchase of spring so far. The tan color goes with all of my spring outfits and looks perfect with a pair of light-wash jeans, a top, and my tan Sperrys. It comes in 5 different colors too, so if tan isn't your thing there is definitely a color you'll like!
Zella 'Live In' Eclipse Space Dye Bra (get it here!)
I had never worn a sportsbra that also functioned somewhat like a regular bra until now. This bra is so comfortable and supportive, as well as pretty! I love the Michigan colors (obviously what drew me to it), and it's on sale on Nordstrom's website now!
I realize I end my post with this every month, but seriously - I cannot believe we're in May already. Maybe it's because the temperatures want us still to think we're in February or March? Either way, 2014 is flying by!
What were some of your favorite beauty products this month?

So, in addition to not whining myself when I discovered we had a big internet problem, I had to be mature and parental when confronted with a teenage daughter who WAS NOT HAPPY about the internet problems. (The internet problem required her to use a lot more data on her phone and her speed was throttled back!!!!) Interestingly, your son doesn't care--he just uses the internet at his girlfriend's apartment - problem solved. Sigh. Anyway, when you discover the problem is, in fact, at your end and NOT at the CenturyLink end, it becomes an annoying problem which YOU have to solve.
|Fresh out of the Amazon box--still in cellophane--waiting for Superman.
|The cellophane is off and, if you look carefully, you can see my cell phone in the background off to the right and you can see there is an active call on the screen. This was the part where Superman was starting to tell me what to do.
When you tell your IT professional husband that you're having a problem with the internet, he does magical things from those previously mentioned far off lands, logs into your home modem, verifies the problem is, in fact, on your end (because he's pretty sure you don't really know what is going on with your home network and its three different wifi networks--yes, three!), and jumps onto Amazon and orders you a whiz bang router to solve your problems.
|Apparently this lovely router will have four channels (upgrading from our current three) and will solve the bandwidth hog problems we'd been having before we had the "real" internet problem.
This huge thing arrived on my front porch this morning. Doesn't it look impressive? After a brief phone call this evening, it is now powered up and plugged into our modem. That doesn't mean it is busily solving my internet problem. That will require Superman to log in and configure it to his liking in the wee hours of my morning, so I will have another night of internet problems, but this, my friends, is the light at the end of the tunnel (or so I'm told!)

The justices sent the cases back to two different lower courts to determine whether portions of Skilling and Black's convictions should be thrown out.An AP news release explained further that:
The court said Thursday that the "honest services" law could not be used in convicting Skilling for his role in the collapse of Enron. But Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said in her majority opinion that the ruling does not necessarily require Skilling's conviction to be overturned.
During arguments on this case last December, several justices seemed inclined to limit prosecutors' use of this law, which critics have said is vague and has been used to make a crime out of mistakes and minor transgressions in the business and political world.
The court, at the same time, rejected Skilling's claim that he did not get a fair trial in Houston because of harshly critical publicity that surrounded the case in Enron's hometown.

What is the Euribor?
The Euribor is short for Euro Interbank Offered Rate. This rate is based off the panel of European banks at which they borrow off each other. The rate is calculated by taking the highest and lowest 15% of all the quotes collected. The remaining rates will be averaged and made to read only three decimal places.
Euribor is published at 11:00 am each day, Central European Time.
Uses for the Euribor
A position in the Euribor can be used as a form of hedging using either an option or futures contract.
Risks of Euribor
Taking a position either long or short will have the risk of the underlying banks. These banks will determine the rate which they lend to each other, effecting the rate at which the index will climb or fall.

MILAN (Reuters) - A new accounting principle dubbed IFRS 9, which comes into force in January, will pose particular problems for smaller Italian banks which are having trouble preparing because they lack good quality data, the Bank of Italy said on Friday.
In its twice-yearly Financial Stability Report, the central bank calculated the IFRS 9 rule will take on average 38 basis points off Italian banks' best-quality capital.
The estimated negative impact on smaller lenders is higher, at an average 47 basis points.
Separately on Friday, the European Central Bank calculated an average negative impact of 40 basis points for European banks that are considered best prepared for the changes.
The IFRS9 rule forces banks to book charges based on expected, instead of actual, losses. The negative capital impact for Italian banks stems mainly from higher loan writedowns, the Bank of Italy said.
Smaller Italian banks lack good-quality data to be able to build the models necessary to calculate the projected losses, it added.
Patchy loan data scattered over thousands of paper documents have turned out to be a major issue for Italian banks, making it hard for them to put a price on soured debts and forcing them to offer buyers a bigger discount when selling them.

Maybe. In the absence of any specific URLs, one can just make conjectures. It seems to me that the airfrance.fr site contains some pages that have their encoding declared as utf-8 in the HTTP headers, yet claimed to be iso-8859-1 in a <meta> tag. This need not cause any real harm if all the characters are in fact Ascii characters, but it's still an information conflict and should be pointed out. This might contain a time bomb: if anyone enters accented letters into a document and if it is in fact in iso-8859-1 encoding, then browsers and other user agents will get (and show) wrong data, since they rely on the HTTP header (as they shall). > Exept from that I must say this validator is really a nice > tool for all web users and designers ! Good job guys !! Well, I'm not one of the good guys, I'm a critic. I think the validator is useful to authors who understand the basics of SGML or XML, useless or even harmful to other authors (though they might accidentally find some error messages understandable and useful), and almost surely useless or worse to web users who are not authors themselves. -- Jukka "Yucca" Korpela, http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/Received on Friday, 4 February 2005 12:34:09 UTC

Australia (/ɒˈstreɪliə/, /ə-/, colloquially /-jə/), officially known as the Commonwealth of Australia, is an Oceanian country comprising the mainland of the Australian continent, the island of Tasmania, and numerous smaller islands. It is the world's sixth-largest country by total area. Neighbouring countries include Papua New Guinea, Indonesia and East Timor to the north; the Solomon Islands and Vanuatu to the north-east; and New Zealand to the south-east.
For about 50,000 years before the first British settlement in the late 18th century, Australia was inhabited by indigenous Australians, who spoke languages grouped into roughly 250 language groups. After the European discovery of the continent by Dutch explorers in 1606, Australia's eastern half was claimed by Great Britain in 1770 and initially settled through penal transportation to the colony of New South Wales from 26 January 1788. The population grew steadily in subsequent decades; the continent was explored and an additional five self-governing crown colonies were established. On 1 January 1901, the six colonies federated, forming the Commonwealth of Australia. Since federation, Australia has maintained a stable liberal democratic political system that functions as a federal parliamentary democracy and constitutional monarchy comprising six states and several territories. The population of 24 million is highly urbanised and heavily concentrated in the eastern states and on the coast.
"Australia" is a song by the British rock band The Kinks, appearing on their 1969 album, Arthur (Or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire). It was written by the band's main songwriter, Ray Davies.
In the song, the character Derek (who is featured in the story line of Arthur (Or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire)) attempts to convince his father, Arthur, of the great opportunities available in Australia, where there's "no drug addiction" and you can "surf like they do in the U.S.A." Derek's advertisement is compared to John Smith, who campaigned for America in a similar manner, by author Thomas Kitts.
The song also features a jam sequence lasting for approximately half the song, which is atypical for The Kinks. In the Australian single edit, this section is removed by editing an earlier section of the song into another section during a drum beat, which is then followed by a fade-out.
"Australia" was only released in most countries on the Arthur (Or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire) album, where it was the closing track on side one. However, in Australia, a dramatically cut down version of the song was released as a single, with another Arthur (Or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire) track, "She's Bought a Hat Like Princess Marina", on the B-side. However, the single was commercially unsuccessful.
Australia (foaled 8 April 2011) is a British-bred, Thoroughbred racehorse best known for winning the 2014 Epsom Derby. As a two-year-old in 2013, he won two of his three races, creating a very favourable impression when winning the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Trial Stakes, and was highly regarded by his trainer Aidan O'Brien. In May 2014 he finished third behind Night of Thunder and Kingman in the 2000 Guineas before winning the Epsom Derby on 7 June. He subsequently won the Irish Derby and International Stakes before being defeated by The Grey Gatsby in the Irish Champion Stakes. His racing career was ended by injury in October 2014. He is standing at Coolmore stud.
Australia is a chestnut colt with a narrow white blaze bred by the Newmarket-based Stanley House stud. Australia was sired by Galileo, a Derby winner himself who went on to become an outstanding breeding stallion, winning the title of champion sire on five occasions. Galileo had sired two previous Epsom Derby winners New Approach in 2007 and Ruler of the World in 2013. Australia's Dam Ouija Board won seven Group One races including the 2004 Epsom Oaks and was twice named European Horse of the Year. He is the fourth foal produced by Ouija Board and second to Galileo, Australia's older sister Filia Regina has had limited success with only a single victory in a handicap at Yarmouth. His half brother Our Voodoo Prince won 3 races in Britain before being sold and is currently in training with Chris Waller in Australia.
60 Minutes is an American newsmagazine television program broadcast on the CBS television network. Debuting in 1968, the program was created by Don Hewitt, who chose to set it apart from other news programs by using a unique style of reporter-centered investigation. In 2002, 60 Minutes was ranked #6 on TV Guide's 50 Greatest TV Shows of All Time and in 2013, it was ranked #24 on TV Guide's 60 Best Series of All Time.The New York Times has called it "one of the most esteemed news magazines on American television".
The program employed a magazine format, similar to that of the Canadian program W5, which premiered two years earlier. It pioneered many of the most important investigative journalism procedures and techniques, including re-editing interviews, hidden cameras, and "gotcha journalism" visits to the home or office of an investigative subject. Similar programs sprang up in Australia and Canada during the 1970s, as well as on local television news.
60 Minutes is the name of a television newsmagazine show previously broadcast in New Zealand on TV3. The show began in New Zealand in 1989 based on an American programme by the same name. The programme is to broadcast on Prime TV from 2013 and will be hosted by Charlotte Bellis, weekend anchor of Prime News: First at 5.30, will host 60 Minutes for the network alongside her news duties.
The broadcaster of 60 Minutes has changed twice during the 1990s. It was one of TV3's flagship programmes when TV3 went to air in 1989. Then in 1992, TVNZ won the rights to the programme.
After being shown on TV1 from 1993 to 2002, TVNZ decided not to renew the rights the show from CBS, and the rights were reacquired by TV3. Following this, there was a fight over the www.60minutes.co.nz domain, which for a short time, redirected to the site on TVNZ's replacement Sunday. Currently, the domain redirects to the www.cbs.com website.
In the inaugural Qantas Television Awards in 2005, the show won
60 Minutes is an Australian version of the U.S. television newsmagazine program 60 Minutes airing on Sunday nights on the Nine Network. A New Zealand version uses segments of the show.
Gerald Stone, the founding executive producer, was given the job by Kerry Packer and was told: "I don't give a f... what it takes. Just do it and get it right." After the first episode was broadcast on 11 February 1979, Packer was less than impressed, telling Stone: "You've blown it, son. You better fix it fast." Over the years, Stone's award winning 60 Minutes revolutionised Australian current affairs reporting and enhanced the careers of Ray Martin, Ian Leslie, George Negus, and later Jana Wendt.
60 Minutes has won numerous awards for broadcasting, including five Silver Logies, one Special Achievement Logie, and received nominations for a further six Logie awards.
Trousers (pants in North America) are an item of clothing worn from the waist to the ankles, covering both legs separately (rather than with cloth extending across both legs as in robes, skirts, and dresses).
In the UK the word "pants" generally means underwear and not trousers.Shorts are similar to trousers, but with legs that come down only to around the area of the knee, higher or lower depending on the style of the garment. To distinguish them from shorts, trousers may be called "long trousers" in certain contexts such as school uniform, where tailored shorts may be called "short trousers", especially in the UK.
In most of the Western world, trousers have been worn since ancient times and throughout the Medieval period, becoming the most common form of lower-body clothing for adult males in the modern world, although shorts are also widely worn, and kilts and other garments may be worn in various regions and cultures. Breeches were worn instead of trousers in early modern Europe by some men in higher classes of society. Since the mid-20th century, trousers have increasingly been worn by women as well. Jeans, made of denim, are a form of trousers for casual wear, now widely worn all over the world by both sexes. Shorts are often preferred in hot weather or for some sports and also often by children and teenagers. Trousers are worn on the hips or waist and may be held up by their own fastenings, a belt or suspenders (braces). Leggings are form-fitting trousers, of a clingy material, often knitted cotton and spandex (elastane).

A new era of political history has cemented itself in Canberra. The tactic of spilling, swapping and switching party leaders has become the norm on both side of politics, much to the ire of the Australian public.

They're two of the biggest personalities in Australian politics – and two of the most controversial and polarising. Now Pauline Hanson and Mark Latham are a couple, Mr and Mrs One Nation. By becoming Pauline's proxy in New South Wales, Latham is tipped to win an Upper House seat at the state election in a fortnight. In return, Hanson gets to harness the former Labor Opposition Leader's undeniable campaigning skills, which will be especially useful in the run-up to this year's federal election. But as Liz Hayes asks, will this political version of Married at First Sight last past the honeymoon?

The animated history of Australia in a nutshell. For centuries, rumors and legends are spreading among the traders, about the Terra Australis Incognita, unknown southern land. For Europeans, this is only a tale. However, in the middle of the sixteenth century, a series of world maps are created, so-called 'the maps from Dieppe,' documenting the latest Portuguese explorations, on which a mysterious land is found, called 'Le Grand Java.' A few centuries later, the map will be considered by some as the evidence of discovering Australia by Portuguese. Soon after, in sixteen-o-five a Dutch trader, Willem Janszoon, sets sails from the Dutch East Indies to search for a new land. According to his plan, he arrives at an unknown destination and names it 'Keer-Weer.' As it turns out, later on, i...
