2. Donald Trump's big plan is to build a wall on the Mexican Border to keep people out. "Fear builds walls." There is no proof that a wall would keep people out. In fact, even Donald Trump himself admitted that people could probably get over it with a ladder and a rope. And the wall will cost much much more than it will help. Source: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver
3. He flip flops on ideas. Examples include the recent abortion discussion and the Klu Klux Clan scandal.
The Case for Trump
A1: Trump is a nationalist.
There is simply no source necessary for this. The entire appeal of Trump's campaign is owed to its nativist nature.
A2: Trump will enforce our border laws [2]
A3: Trump is a non-interventionist [3] [4]
A4: Trump wants to audit the Federal Reserve [5]
Rebutting Con
1: Trump has not universally mocked people on the basis of not supporting him. Most of his linguistic jabs have been directed against opponents or particularly obsessive critics (such as Megyn Kelly).
Con then argues that Trump is a sexist due to one particular response to a reporter . Suffices to say, the use of a gendered insult tells us nothing about Trump's general views on women, Trump personally, or most importantly, Trump as a presidential candidate.
Con asserts that Trump said "Laziness is a trait in the blacks". This is, at best, extremely contestable, and at worst, a complete fiction.
As the Washington Examiner wrote [1] on said quote:
"That line, however, is not directly from Trump. It is found in a 1991 tell-all by a former Trump employee, who alleges in his book that he heard Trump say those words to a black accountant at a Trump-owned establishment, according a 2011 article in the Huffington Post."
"In a statement to the Washington Examiner media desk, Trump said the book with the alleged quote was 'written by a fired and totally disgruntled employee who was terrible at the job he did and who I hardly knew.'"
Con also states that Trump "called Mexians rapists", citing "Donald Trump's mouth". It should be noted that this accusation is so vague as to be essentially meaningless. Are there Mexican rapists? Obviously, yes. Unless Con would like to argue that there are no Mexicans who commit rape, Trump is merely pointing to a reality.
It should be noted that at no point has Trump said all Mexicans are rapists, or even a majority.
2: Con claims that Trump's plan to build a wall would be ineffective, citing "Last Week Tonight with John Oliver". Aside from the fact that no specific arguments are made for such a bold claim, Con doesn't seem to realize that the wall idea is not the totality of Trump's plan to deal with legal immigration problem. Were he to become president, Trump would obviously be able to take many alternative measures to deal with the situation.
At no point has Trump or his campaign stated that the proposed immigration policy is restricted to building a wall. To the contrary, Trump's campaign site [2] highlights other measures, such as:
- Increasing the number of ICE officers
- Defund sanctuary cities
- End birthright citizenship
3: Con states that Trump is a flip-flopper, as evidenced by "the recent abortn discussion". Assuming Con is referring to the radio interview which garnered much media attention, it simply does not support his case. Trump was presented with a convoluted, highly particular hypothetical scenario and pressured into giving an outrageous answer.
Either way, is this really a significant enough issue to dismiss a candidate?
As for citing the "Klu Klux Clan [sic] scandal", Con failed to articulate how this shows Trump is a flip-flopper.

By what...making a wall? And making Mexico pay for it? The leaders of Mexico have repeatedly said that under no circumstances will they pay for the wall. And the U.S. certainly does not have the money to pay for it.
More here:
Trump is sexist. For example, that unforgettable tweet about Hillary Clinton. "If Hillary Clinton can't satisfy her husband what makes her think she can satisfy America?" Do I really need to point out the ways that is sexist?
And what about the infamous photo of him posing with three waitresses from Hooters? If that isn't sexist, I don't know what is.
"While @BetteMidler is an extremely unattractive woman, I refuse to say that because I always insist on being politically correct." Hmm. Another sexist tweet.
"26,000 unreported sexual assults in the military-only 238 convictions. What did these geniuses expect when they put men & women together?" And let's not forget that.
As for being racist, what about his attempts to ban Muslims from the country? That is discriminatory against race. Also known as being racist. And how Donald Trump refuses to believe that President Obama was born in Hawaii, despite a proven birth certificate. If Obama was white, I guarantee you Trump would believe him 100%.
Also, he called two men who beat up a homeless hispanic man, "passionate."
Need I go on?
IT IS significant to dismissing a candidate. Personally, I am a democrat, but if I was a republican I would not want to vote for a president that could change their views (the ones I agree with) while in office. I want a guarantee that I get what I vote for.
So yes, honesty does matter.
1: (Trump will enforce our border laws) "By what...making a wall? And making Mexico pay for it?"
In my prior argument, Con was provided a short list of alternative measures Trump would take to curtail illegal immigration. There's no point in pretending the wall is the totality of Trump's plan.
"The leaders of Mexico have repeatedly said that under no circumstances will they pay for the wall. And the U.S. certainly does not have the money to pay for it."
It wouldn't be particularly difficult to obtain payment for the wall, even from Mexico. Trump's campaign site outlined [1] a variety of ways this could accomplished, including:
- Visa fees
- Tariffs/enforcing trade rules
- New regulations
- Cancelling visas
2: Trump's supposed sexism and racism
To begin with, Con has failed to:
a) define and specify what constitutes sexism or racism, or what makes someone a sexist or a racist
b) demonstrated that this is necessarily bad
c) demonstrated that this is so bad, that it offsets everything and anything good about Trump as a presidential candidate.
Either way, the quotes Con included on Trump did not single out the subject of the commentary due to their race. So even by using common-sense definition, Trump would not be a racist or a sexist. Furthermore, Con has zero evidence that Trump would not be a birther if Obama were white. If they do, surely they will be able to provide it.
[1] https://www.donaldjtrump.com...
Because it is completely impractical, for reasons stated above, such as the fact that there is a thing called a rope.
I have read Trump's entire plan, but the fact is that it will be impossible to enforce these other attempt at limiting immigration if we are also taking on the enormous job of building a (unknown height) wall across the /entire/ border. That will also strain our relationship with our direct neighboring country.
I did not state the definition of racist or sexist because I thought you had that basic knowledge.
Sexist: "The belief that one sex (usually the male) is naturally superior to the other and should dominate most important areas of political, economic, and social life."
(A) Racist: "a person who believes that a particular race is superior to another."
//Source: google..?
I think the fact that it is bad is quite self-explanatory. Or have you never heard of the holocaust?
Someone who supports these terrible and corrupt ideas that set our country back hundreds of years should not be our supreme leader making the biggest political decisions. I think that fact is also self-explanatory.
Did Trump ask for George W. Bush's birth certificate? What about Bill Clinton's? Hmm.
Another sexist remark:
"If I were running "The View", I"d fire Rosie O"Donnell. I mean, I"d look at her right in that fat, ugly face of hers, I"d say "Rosie, you"re fired.""
If Rosie O'Donnell was a man, he would not have used the words fat or ugly. But he believes in the stereotype that women should be judged by appearance rather than their personality.
"I think the only difference between me and the other candidates is that I"m more honest and my women are more beautiful." As this source points out, women are not his possessions. "My women"... tsk tsk. If that's not sexist, what is?
" Look at that face! Would anyone vote for that? Could you imagine that, the face of our next president?" Again, Trump, you don't vote for candidates by how attractive they are physically. And if we did, Trump would surely come in last place.
Another racist remark:
"Hey, I watched when the World Trade Center came tumbling down. And I watched in Jersey City, New Jersey, where thousands and thousands of people were cheering as that building was coming down." - November 22, 2015
As CNN put it, "On November 22, Trump repeated his claim " widely regarded as false " that he saw television reports of Muslims in New Jersey celebrating the 9/11 terrorist attacks. No footage to back up Trump"s assertions has been found."
someloser forfeited this round.
1) Immigration
"I am highlighting it, because a lot of the people that want to vote for him do so because they are so in favor of the wall. (I know this just by hearing interviews with his supporters.)"
And why are people in favor of the wall? For the simple fact that it would, at least in theory, limit or eliminate illegal immigration. More importantly, the wall functions as a symbolic affirmation of the US' borders.
"I have read Trump's entire plan, but the fact is that it will be impossible to enforce these other attempt at limiting immigration if we are also taking on the enormous job of building a (unknown height) wall across the /entire/ border."
Virtually none of the other facts of Trump's immigration reform plan rest or depend on the construction of the wall. In fact, the ones that will likely prove most effective have nothing to do with it.
3) Sexism
None of the insults Trump levied against Fiorina were sexist. He had previously mocked other (male) candidates for their appearances as well.
Similarly, the comments directed against Rosie O'Donnel had nothing to do with her gender - no, fat jokes are not necessarily gendered (if that were the case, people such as Ralphie May would not have a career).
4) Muslims
"As CNN put it, "On November 22, Trump repeated his claim ' widely regarded as false ' that he saw television reports of Muslims in New Jersey celebrating the 9/11 terrorist attacks. No footage to back up Trump"s assertions has been found."
While somewhat exaggerated, Trump's claims of cheering after 9/11 were far from baseless. To the contrary, further investigation has proven them true [1].
I would like to thank my opponent for an interesting debate. Vote Pro!

Border Wall and Immigration: CON contends that Trump"s border wall is impractical, Mexico will not pay for it, will strain relations and can be traversed. PRO rebuts with finance means through fees, tariffs and new regulations. The wall in theory will deter illegal immigration and provide a symbolic barrier. (Spending for symbolic purposes, an unsound premise.) PRO provides additional Trumps measures for illegal immigration which CON fails to address. Flip Flop on abortion and KKK: CON makes claims, PRO rebuts. Both make assertions of little substance; a wash. PRO contentions on non-intervention and the Federal Reserve were dropped by CON. As much as this voter finds Trump a contemptible candidate, PRO"s rebuttals were adequate enough to win the majority of the arguments. S&G tied: Readability comparable. Sources tied: Both presented citations of equal validity. Conduct tied, both were civil.

>Reported vote: cgt97// Mod action: Removed<
3 points to Pro (Arguments). Reasons for voting decision: I gave conduct to both parties because they were both respectful to each other. I gave spelling and grammar to both parties because both were presentable. I gave reliable sources to both parties. Pro used a few more different sources however, this isn't what this question is asking. Both parties provided reliable sources. I gave more convincing argument to pro. Not because I agree with him but because of the amount of sources and information provided.
[*Reason for removal*] The voter doesn't sufficiently explain arguments. A larger number of sources and "information" is not a sufficient reason to award argument points. The voter has to directly assess specific arguments made by both sides.
You got something to say? Challenge me to a debate you passive-agressive idiot.
I guarantee John Oliver is one million times times smarter, honester, and nicer than any hater like you.
> When someone is so dumb they actually support Trump lmfao

Quins seal dramatic win over Sarries
Saracens had led a tight London derby from the off when Brad Barritt scored a try inside two minutes but a brace for Charlie Walker kept Harlequins in touch.
Owen Farrell kicked 14 points from the tee but it wasn't enough as Visser collected Danny Care's cross-field kick in the dying moments after Alex Goode's fumble.
Saracens flew out of the blocks with Vincent Koch running a great reverse line to break through before offloading to Jamie George who fed Barritt for the games first try.
Owen Farrell, on his return from international duty, added the conversion and then surpassed 1000 Premiership Rugby points with a penalty on eight minutes.
Harlequins though were undeterred as Elia Elia was held up over the line and eventually they had their first try thanks to another delightful kick from Care.
After numerous phases of Harlequins pressure, the England scrumhalf put in an inch-perfect cross-field kick to Walker who only had to catch the ball and fall over to score.
James Lang reduced the deficit further with a 42nd-minute penalty but Farrell replied from the tee to restore Saracens' eight-point advantage.
Another moment of brilliance from Care saw him tap and go a penalty on 70 minutes and Walker raced onto the scrumhalf's kick through for his sixth try of the season.
A successful conversion from Lang meant it was back to a one-point match as the game enter its final moments but Farrell struck his fourth penalty to make it 19-15.
It wasn't enough as Care again found a pinpoint cross-field kick, which Goode failed to collect, and Visser was on hand to dot down the match-winning score.

Proton beam therapy patient accommodation
The Christie has been working with Staycity to provide accommodation for out of area patients during their course of proton beam therapy.
Staycity is located in Piccadilly, close to Manchester Piccadilly Train Station. Staycity is an 'aparthotel', meaning each apartment comes furnished with fully equipped kitchens, separate bedrooms and living area on one level. Families who have accommodation at Staycity will have access to a designated lounge and communal areas.
Where accommodation is provided, The Christie will provide a free shuttle service between the accommodation and the proton beam therapy centre for the duration of your treatment.
For further information, please visit the Staycity website.
July 2018
Tours of the proton beam therapy centre
At the end of July, the proton beam therapy centre opened its doors to a wide range of visitors. Attendees included past patients, clinical oncologists from referring hospitals, patients who have received proton beam therapy overseas, charity donors, neighbours and staff members from The Christie.
Visitors had the opportunity to visit several areas in the department, which will be involved in a patient's treatment pathway. The tour included the ProBeam gantry, CT scanner, paediatric waiting areas, day unit and recovery and clinical areas.
The tours were well received by those who attended. Visitors gained a unique insight into proton beam therapy and all the hard work that has gone into developing the service.
The 100th End of treatment bell
The proton beam therapy department at The Christie has received its very own end of treatment bell. Emma Payton and her family have kindly donated an extra special gold bell.
Emma is a former proton patient who has received treatment in the USA. Emma and her family have been donating bells to radiotherapy departments across the UK, and they reserved the special 100th bell for the proton beam therapy department at The Christie.
This end of treatment bell will be put up in the proton beam therapy department so all our patients can ring it at the end of a course of treatment.

Northern Sarcoma CNS AHP Network
Members of the proton beam therapy team were delighted to provide a series of tours of the department for the Northern Sarcoma CNS AHP Network (N-SCAN). AHPs are specialist professionals - called Allied Health Professionals - and can play an important part in rehabilitation after sarcoma treatment.
ProBeam training
Members of the proton beam therapy physics team recently attended a four-day training course. The two trainers from Varian passed on their extensive knowledge about the entire proton beam therapy system – right from the hydrogen ion source where protons are extracted into the cyclotron, through the beam line optics, up onto the gantry and into the rooms where patients will be treated.
We also got to grips with the many systems involved in this feat of engineering, including the most important safety systems. The practical sessions were really useful, imaging phantoms and treating them with protons, representing a typical clinical workflow. These new skills will be invaluable for the forthcoming acceptance and commissioning of the gantries.
The Christie Charity skydive event
Proton senior therapy radiographer, Lucy Davies, is taking part in a charity skydive this September to raise awareness and money for The Christie Charity. The money raised will go towards improving patient experiences for proton beam therapy. Every penny will make a real difference for our patients and help improve our services.
Lucy said: "I've always regarded myself as a bit of a thrill-seeker, but jumping out of a plane at 11,000 feet is the ultimate challenge! To be able to do this event, whilst also raising funds for The Christie Charity to improve the services and experiences for the patients I will be treating, is an amazing opportunity and a real motivation."
June 2018
National Joint Sarcoma Meeting 2018
The Christie had the opportunity to host the National Joint Sarcoma Meeting. Attendees of the meeting included clinical oncologists, surgeons, physicists, dosimetrists and radiographers from all around the UK. Proton beam therapy can play a key role in treating some sarcomas.
The National Joint Sarcoma Meeting is held with collaboration in mind. It was an important opportunity for surgeons and clinical oncologists to work together to develop and discuss the best treatments for sarcoma patients.
The attendees also had the opportunity to complete a short tour of the proton beam therapy centre at The Christie.

A big welcome to our new senior radiographers
Since the beginning of May, the proton beam therapy team have welcomed five new senior radiographers. Some of them have made the transition from our radiotherapy department at The Christie, while others have relocated to join us in this new venture.
When asked how she feels about the appointment, Rachael Bailey (senior radiographer) responded: "One of my goals at university was to work in proton beam therapy. Several years later, I have achieved my dream job in my local city! I am so proud to be part of the treatment team of this exciting development and I look forward to seeing how the patient service enhances further over time."
May 2018
Beam on
The milestone of the first proton beam delivery from a treatment gantry has been reached.
Protons have now travelled from the cyclotron, down the beam line and into Gantry 1.
This monumental stage in the project is down to the hard work of the project's engineers. The project is moving ever close to treating our first patient.
First patient volunteer MRI Scans
The pre-treatment radiographers have conducted the first patient volunteer MRI scans for proton beam therapy in the UK.
The completion of these scans will aid in the development of MRI scanning protocols.
The pre-treatment team have been working with Lynsey Cameron-Clark (Philips Applications Specialist) to build MRI sequences specific to proton beam therapy patients.
April 2018
Annual Radiotherapy Service Leads UK 2018
The Christie hosted the annual meeting of radiotherapy service leads from around the UK.
The radiotherapy service leads had the opportunity to complete a short tour of the new facilities.
James Donnelly, superintendent radiographer, said: "This has been a great opportunity to build relationships with colleagues from around the UK and to show the progress of the proton beam therapy service at The Christie."
Radiotherapy service leads pictured in front of Gantry 3 and the CT scanner.
Proton Beam is moving ever closer
The Energy Selection System (ESS) has been under calibration for the past 4 weeks, this task is almost complete. The calibration occurs by placing a water tank into the beam line and taking a series of measurements.
The ESS comprises of a number of carbon wedges being placed into the proton beam path to facilitate changes in the proton energy. This change in energy corresponds to the depth treatment is delivered in a patient. Once completed the commissioning of the magnets, which position the proton beam in the treatment room, can begin. The proton beam will move into Gantry room 1 once completed, which is a huge milestone in the project.
March 2018
Visit by CLIC Sargent Nurse educator (North)
The Christie proton beam therapy centre received a visit from Linda Sanderson this month. Linda is a CLIC Sargent Nurse Educator. Linda was keen to update her knowledge on the development of the centre and pass this onto other CLIC Sargent Nurses in the North of the UK.
"It was great to meet the expert team who are preparing to care for Children, young people and their families when the centre opens," said Linda.
The proton team hopes to see Linda and her colleagues again in the future once we are up and running.
Cyclotron Commissioning
The Cyclotron commissioning is nearing completion. The cyclotron is the machine that accelerates protons up to an extremely high speed. Internal efficiency of the cyclotron is at 100%, with the extraction of protons currently at 82%. The cyclotron is working well within expected guidelines.
Energy Selection system (ESS) commissioning
The next part of the project underway is the commissioning of the Energy Selection system (ESS). The ESS allows different energies of proton beam to be available for clinical treatment. The energies range from 70 MeV to 250MeV. The commissioning is completed by inserting a water tank into the beam line and measuring the beam energy. Once this is completed, the proton beam is taken into Gantry room 1. This will happen over the next few weeks.
Beam Transport System (BTS)
Beam Transport System (BTS) has been leak tested in preparation for the proton beam to be taken into the different gantry rooms.
Gantry Room 1
Gantry room 1 has now completed installation of ProBeam Machine Control Software, and the gantry now moves under its own steam. This is a very important milestone. The treatment room is near completion ready for building handover next month.
Team site visit
Radiographers from the proton therapy team completed a site visit this month. The team was impressed with the progress of Gantry 1 and had a sneak peek behind the scenes.
CT and MRI Scanners delivery and acceptance
Both the CT and MR scanners have been delivered installed and accepted. Both machines are now operational and staff have started to receive training.
Last week we took our first human images on the proton MRI scanner, those images were healthy volunteers from our staff group. They represent several very exciting milestones, including:
- The first persons scanned on the PBT MRI scanner
- The first human image captured on the Philips new MR RT scanner in the UK
- The first person scanned on The Christie's first dedicated MR scanner for radiotherapy planning
Commissioning of both scanners has been started by radiotherapy physics and will continue for several weeks.
The first patient volunteers will be scanned on the MRI scanner and radiotherapy patients will be scanned on the new CT at the end of May.
February 2018
Staff trip to Maryland, USA
Four of the new superintendent radiographers visited the Maryland Proton Treatment Centre in Baltimore, United States. The trip lasted a week, involving five working days in the department, becoming familiar with the equipment currently being installed at The Christie.
It was especially useful for us to see how it is used by the "Radiotherapists" (as the staff are known in America). We learnt a great deal from the visit and were provided with a huge amount of support and time to answer the large number of questions we had. We all remarked how important the trip was, as no amount of UK based research could replicate the experience of working with a fully functioning department.
Appointment of the Superintendent radiographers
From February 2018, the Christie proton team has grown as more radiographers have come into post. The team consists of therapeutic and diagnostic radiographers from both sides of the profession. The new team is working to develop the proton beam service as we move ever closer to opening. Members of the team have completed training nationally and internationally to develop their skills to bring the most effective and efficient service to patients.
"I'm hugely excited and proud to join the team in this project of national importance, bringing PBT (Proton Beam Therapy) to The Christie and subsequently to the NHS for the first time. Having worked with the majority of the people recruited in various previous radiotherapy roles, I'm assured of the ability of the team to deliver what is required." David Kirk, superintendent radiographer
The team is keen to continue the development of the first NHS PBT service. #Christieprotons
January 2018
Patient Engagement Day
The Christie proton therapy team has hosted its third patient engagement day. In attendance were many patients and carers who have previously had proton treatment in the US. The day was used to find out about their experience of receiving proton therapy. We wanted to know about the positive and negative experiences of the treatment. As this was the third patient engagement day, we also wanted to build upon ideas from the previous engagement days, to ensure we are on the right track. The staff were all really inspired by the patients and their stories and so grateful for their time.
James Donnelly, superintendent radiographer, said: "This has been my first patient engagement day. I have taken a lot on board. It has been good to see treatment from a patient's perspective. This event is something I can reflect upon and use to help develop my skills in delivering proton beam therapy."
It was a well-attended day and we hope it will result in patients who will feel well informed and well supported during their treatment at the Christie proton beam centre once we open.

Group 2
Aleks, Nicole, Liz and Dave
For our presentation, we have selected to research the Australian Classification Board (ACB). We are looking at the Classications used in relation to Television, Film, Games and other forms of entertainment as identified by the ACB. What constitutes grouping under a certain classification, and why some examples have been issued the classifications they have.
The Australian classification board Responsible for the classifying of films and videos, computer games and publications in accordance with Commonwealth, State and Territory legislation. States and territories make their own enforcement laws based on the national classification scheme. These laws also include offence and penalties for any breaches of the laws.The classification given to a film or a computer game depends on the presence of violence, sex, language, themes, drug use and nudity.
Films have seven classification categories: G, PG, M, MA15+, R18+, X18+ and RC (Refused Classification). Computer games have six classification categories: G, PG, M, MA15+, R18+ and RC.
It's illegal to exhibit, attempt to exhibit or sell copies of a film that has been refused classification, or to advertise and sell a computer game that has been refused classification.By making this classification Acb help teenagers to prevent from bad influence and keep their health & life well.
What is the Australian Classification Board (ACB)?
Submitted by Dave
For media to receive an 'M' rating, it is determined that the content of that media is moderate in it's impact. M (Mature) classification material contains content that is recommended for teenagers ages 15 years or older. Legally, children under the age of 15 years may legally have access to the media, as the classification is advisory.
M classified media is generally awarded this classification as it includes elements of violence and nudity of a moderate level. Parents and guardians are recommended to research the media further in order to decide whether it would be suitable for the child in their care who is under the age of 15.
Specific Examples:
The film is based upon the Marvel characters, which in turn were based upon Norse Mythology figures (Gods etc.)
As such, there are fight scenes, weaponry, warfare and acts of bodily harm
Disturbing Scenes
A weapon that when deployed creates a 'black hole' which sucks characters in and effectively turns them inside out into nothing
A character who has a device implanted in him via a forced wound, when deployed, the device shifts him into a terrifying-looking creature of warfare
Specific Examples:
Science Fiction Violence:
Warfare and killing of Alien Creatures, attacks from Alien Creatures against character (first person shooter game set in science-fiction based enviroment)
Further detail of why this game received a M rating, as directly quoted from The Australian Classification Board's Annual Report (2012-2013), paragraph 5 of Computer Games: "Post-mortem attacks can result in small amounts of blood spray and 'ragdoll' effects but no wound detail or dismemberment occurs. The game also features online communication and multiplayer capabilities that may cause the in-game classifiable elements to increase in impact. "
Issues with Game Classification:
When this game was released, there was uproar over it receiving an M classification. It was believed to be far more violent than the previous 'Halo Reach' which received a MA15+ rating. The definition of Sci-Fi Violence as opposed to normal Violence is based on the argument that Sci-Fi Violence is set in a Science Fiction setting, and thus the violence is against obviously mythical/created characters (aliens etc.), thus bearing less impact. An example of how the rating difference affected consumers can be found here:
Issues Continued:
An article from the ABC discussed rating and games, and mentioned Halo.
"...On the other hand there are games like Halo. This is a First Person Shooter, like Call of Duty, but one where the protagonist is blasting space monsters (who don't swear) with (mainly) space guns. Same rating as Call of Duty, but with content that's not nearly so disturbing. If you think your child is okay with Call of Duty because they're okay with the similarly-classified Halo, you're wrong."

Game Classification Hurts our Kids – Features – ABC Technology and Games (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) . [ONLINE] Available at: http://www.abc.net.au/technology/articles/2010/11/09/3060870.htm.
Language Classification:
Moderate Coarse Language:
According to ARIA (Australian Recording Industry Association) and AMRA (Australian Music Retailers Association) the following levels of Coarse Language are applied when considering Classification. This has been recognised by the Australian Arts Law Centre, and is listed as being similar to the Classifications that apply to other forms of recorded media - including film and television.
Recordings containing strong lyrics are classified into 4 categories:
Level 1 – Warning: moderate impact coarse language and/or themes;
Level 2 – Warning: strong impact coarse language and/or themes;
Level 3 – Restricted: high impact themes. Not to be sold to persons under 18 years; and
Exceeding level 3 – not to be released or sold.
M Ratings and Free TV
There has been a call to ban M ratings and above from Free TV, according to an article written by Athena Yenko for the International Business Times on September 1, 2013.
This is based upon the shift from being able to show certain rated programs after 8:30pm, but due to the emergence of technology that allows streaming of programs at any time (example being ABC iView), this means that children have more wide-reaching access to such programming. Food for thought.

Here are ten stories on all things mobility that I posted too soon. I have a hunch they will resonate better now than when they were written.
Is Peak Car Headed For Seneca's Cliff? (2017)
Sharing platforms enable new relationships between people, goods, equipment, and spaces. The consequence? The notion of mobility as a discrete economic sector no longer makes sense. News that Ikea is buying Task Rabbit is further confirmation of this convergence.(This text based on my keynote at Seoul Smart Mobility International Conference)
From Bike Chain to Blockchain: Three Questions About Cooperation Platforms and Mobility (2015)
Until now, transportation has been planned to 'save' time. In this age of energy transition, would a better criterion not be, how to save calories? Who should own mobility sharing platforms: private companies? cities? us? What kind of ecosystem is needed to support the sharing platforms we want? Read More

Morphologic approach is still very crucial to detect transformation in malignant lymphoma. With the knowledge of each malignant lymphoma type, especially the clinical course, a number of lymphoma can have histologic progression as evidence of transformation as follow: large cell transformation, blastic transformation, and histiocytic
transformation. Pathologists need to be aware of the transformation in lymphoma as the disease develops more aggressive clinical course in most cases and at times it is challenging to distinguish this condition from composite lymphoma and secondary neoplasm. This review together with illustrative examples will emphasize on practical points for morphologic approach upon making diagnosis of transformation in lymphoma.

Decline in AIDS awareness alarms health activists
- Post 01 December 2016
People infected with the disease suppress it for fear of ostracism instead of seeking medical assistance. Awareness about the ailment convincing patients to go to health centres has sadly gone down.
The Assam State AIDS Control Society (ASACS) on Wednesday acknowledged that the level of awareness about HIV/AIDS has plummeted in Assam in the last few years. Manvendra Pratap Singh, incumbent project director, said one of the reasons for the drop in awareness could be the perceived notion that HIV/AIDS is not as scary as before because of the availability of drugs and antiretroviral therapy (ART).
"The risk groups should be the focus areas of campaign. The fear psychosis attached to HIV/AIDS is dwindling in comparison to the Nineties. We don't see much awareness programmes on TV these days. There is a need to mobilise resources and increase awareness. In rural Assam, people don't want to disclose their HIV status," said Singh.
The first case of AIDS in Assam was reported over two decades ago. But even today, comprehensive knowledge of HIV/AIDS, especially among women in the age group of 15 and 49, is abysmal, according to a study by the National Family Health Survey (2015-16) released this year.
The study revealed only 9.4% women in that age group had comprehensive knowledge of HIV/AIDS. The term 'comprehensive knowledge' means a woman adopting measures to check the chance of getting infected with HIV/AIDS through consistent use of contraceptives and having one uninfected, faithful sexual partner.
The 9.4% figure cuts a sorry picture vis-a-vis states and UTs like Andhra Pradesh (29%), Goa (34.6%), Andaman and Nicobar Islands (28.2%), Manipur (40.7%), Sikkim (25.5%) and Tripura (28%).
Bihar and Meghalaya have also scored miserably on the comprehensive knowledge count with figures of 10.1% and 13.3%, respectively.
Till September 2015, 38% HIV positive cases were detected from Kamrup (Metro) followed by Cachar, Dibrugarh and Nagaon districts. From Kamrup (Metro) district alone, 4,268 HIV positive cases were detected till September 30, 2015. The rate of increase in annual new HIV infections is the highest in Assam and Tripura.

There's no doubt the 2016 Iowa Hawkeyes football season has been disappointing. With most of the key pieces from a 2015 West division title-winning and Rose Bowl participating team back, much was expected.
Let's just say those expectations were far from met, as Iowa finished the 2016 season 8-4.
Yet, despite the disappointment of the season overall, Friday was a celebration in empathic style over rival Nebraska.
There's certainly joy in a 40-10 drubbing of your Western neighbors. But, there is also the question of where in the heck was this team all season long.
Iowa racked up 264 yards on the ground — 158 of it from LeShaun Daniels and 105 of it from Akrum Wadley — en route to the rout of the Huskers. That effort was the second best of the season, following a 365-yard effort at Purdue. It was also the fourth time a team had gone over 200 yards on the ground against the Huskers.
Both backs ran wild at times, with Akrum Wadley gassing the Huskers for a 75-yard touchdown to start the scoring.
Then there was a rather efficient performance from quarterback C.J. Beathard who was 10 of 15 for 144 yards and three touchdowns. It resulted in a 213.3 quarterback rating, his best of the season by nearly 50 points.
Beathard's day included this insanity against one of the better secondaries in the Big Ten:
RILEY MCCARRON 77YD TD FROM CJ BEATHARD!! #NEBvsIOWA pic.twitter.com/xU8N2Ul6R2
— HeavensBarstool (@HeavensHawkeye) November 25, 2016
Iowa's defense came along for the ride as well, the exact opposite of what happened all season long. Ferentz's bunch spent most of the season going from good offense and bad defense to vice versa on a seemingly weekly basis.
That was even the case in the historic win over Michigan two weeks ago. Iowa's defense pummeled Michigan, but its offense was only good enough to do enough to squeak out the win.
On Friday the offense put up 408 yards, while the defense held Tommy Armstrong and Co. to just 217 total yards.
With that effort, on the final day of the season, the Black and Gold finally lived up to the level of play most expected from this team from the start.
Then again, with nearly $500,000 on the line for head coach Kirk Ferentz, putting it all together for the final day of the regular season is perhaps the most Ferentz thing ever.
For the rest of Hawkeye nation, most are still left shaking their heads at where this team was the previous 11 weeks of the year.

"If I didn't define myself for myself, I would be crunched into other people's fantasies for me and eaten alive."
--Audre Lorde
Hey readers! If you'd like to have an account on this site (so that you can post comments), or for further information about what you see here, get in touch through the contact page.
Finished the Slice Harvester memoir within 12 hours of getting it from ILL. Highly recommended. Made me reminiscent of when I moved to the city and we would get a slice from Luigi's, back when Luigi was still there (and you would not necessarily encounter the dude who we now refer to as the "our friend jesus" guy), and eat it sitting by the canon every single day before my evening shift, with the ferocious pizza-eating squirrels.
And ever since I looked up the mundane pizza joint that's closest to where I work and saw the honesty and humor in the review, I've been a big fan of SH. Not to mention the zine.
"Maybe it's because I'm from New York, but when I'm thinking about my ideal partner, I want a lover and an adversary. Someone who's gonna challenge me when I'm fucking up, who will have strong opinions and express them, even fight for them; also, someone who can participate in the grand East Coast tradition of Busting Balls." (198-99)
Off to Pizza Suprema.

My shift key is sticking. I wonder if that has anything to do with the washing of the keys? Nah. Anyway, here's a questionnaire I found somewhere.
- 1. If you could suddenly speak one language fluently (that you don't currently speak) what would it be?
- Japanese, of course. When watching anime with friends, I could make myself into even more of a pompous windbag by telling them when the subtitles aren't technically accurate.
- 2. If you were to suggest a foreign film, that you really enjoyed, what one would you suggest?
- Gosh, there are so many. It would really depend on who had asked for the recommendation and what sorts of movies they prefer. Night Watch comes to mind, as does Spirited Away.
- 3. If you had to call another country home (other than the one you currently live in) what one would you choose?
Assuming I don't suddenly speak another language fluently, then for purely practical reasons, I suppose I'd choose Britian or Australia so that I wouldn't have to learn another language.
- 4. If you went out to buy an import music CD, what one would you buy?
- Probably something from Nobuo Uematsu.
- 5. If you were to chose an ethnic dinner, what would it be?
- Right now? Hmm… Chinese, I think.

Cars have made navigation all over the world easy and affordable. People move freely and extensively to many places in the world because of the fine car transport that enables a better form of transportation. These cars offer multipurpose functions that all depend on the type of the car.
Types of cars
There are different types of cars. Each mobility car is designed to best suit one's needs, that is, the ease and compatibility of the car. Considering the car compatibility, we have:
- Automatic cars.
- Manual cars.
Automatic cars
Automatic cars are a hybrid technological cars. Automatic cars are compatible with a variety of car models and makes because they act as computers. They have data that is hidden and can control the car, that is; performance, the running of the engine and the gas usage. Automatic cars are standard and simple to drive.
Manual cars
These are controlled manually. That is they have no hidden data that controls the performance, fuel usage and the engine. Rather, the driver is the one to control the car to his/her best suit of driving. However these cars are the best suit to use when learning how to drive.
Narrowing down to the types of the cars, we have the;
Small cars
The small cars are generally described by their small size, that is; they tend to have a lower cost of running and lower CO2 emissions unlike the larger cars. They also have a light weight which is an added advantage to fuel economy. They are also easy to maneuver especially when parking in tight spaces, and their being small also means a lower cost to procure. Examples of small cars include: sedans, coupes and hatchbacks.
Medium cars
Medium sized cars are slightly bigger than the small sized cars. They range up to 4.8 meters long and above. They are convenient since they have enough legroom and headroom thus can carry any adult. Due to their slightly smaller size they do not take up much space when parking hence can be parked easily. They are also fuel economical unlike their large counterparts. However, they are not easy to manage like the small cars. Examples of the medium cars include: Ford Mondeo, Mazda 6, Honda Accord Euro, Subaru Liberty, Renault and Volkswagen Passat among others.
Family cars
They are larger than the medium cars usually a 4-door saloon car. They have a boot at the back with more space and an ample leg-room and head-room. They have more room on the inside thus convenient for family trips since they offer a large interior space for kids.
Roadsters and Cabriolets
Cabriolets are small sized cars carrying either two or four persons. They are convertible, that is; their soft roof top can come off and retract while the Roadster has a hard roof top which is also convertible. They are convenient for fun riding and sports. They have a low fuel consumption thus economical.
Wheelchair Accessible Cars. (WAVs)
These cars are designed to carry passengers using wheelchairs. They can drive from their wheelchair or still board the car in their wheelchair. They come in different designs so as to accommodate any size and type of wheelchair thus making it easy to get in and out of the car while on the wheelchair.
Sport Utility Vehicle. (SUV)
They are generally 4×4 sports cars for off-road use. There off-road and sports use is because of the larger and higher ground clearance design. They are swift either places, off-road or in estates and cities. They also have a low cost of running and an ample performance.

Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele of Comedy Central's sketch comedy series "Key & Peele" joined moderator and professed super-fan Patton Oswalt in conversation at the Paley Center for Media in Beverly Hills Monday.
Oswalt pulled out a list of questions from his pocket, but noted to laughs, "I'm sure whoever wrote these had the best intentions ... I'm gonna assume that a white person wrote these questions." He read: "Is America ready for this brand of in-your-face race-themed comedy?"

It's not too late to get bikini-ready for summer. By taking steps now, you may be able to fix up your figure in a matter of weeks. Here's what you need to secure that hot bod.
Cut the calories
Speedy slimming requires a strict diet – but that shouldn't mean living off soup or following some other ridiculous diet. Instead, make an effort to cut down portions and eat organically. This means making meals out of fresh fruit, vegetables, unprocessed meats and fish – no microwave meals or frozen foods. Cut out snacks entirely. Avoid fried foods and don't add salt or sugar to anything. Calorie counting can be effective for some, but others it can be frustrating. There are apps that can count calories for you and keep you from overeating.
Focus on your core
Your core muscles are deep in your torso and are perhaps the most important in your body. They affect your balance and keep you standing upright. Whilst it's important to exercise other body parts, your core has a knock on effect on everything else. There are lots of exercise regimes focused on the core. A Tony Horton favourite P90X Ab Ripper which focuses on flattening and chiselling that stomach through exercises such as Russian twists, v-ups and bicycles. The plank can also be a very effective exercise for your core and you can aim to build upon your time.
Go aerobic
Cardio exercises are also great for shedding the pounds. These include running long distances, swimming and cycling. One of the most effective methods of cutting calories is taking part in a spin class – in a single hour you can scorch a whopping 400 to 600 calories. Use the web to see if there are any local spin classes near you.
Don't neglect weights
Weights aren't just for building muscles mass and have been shown to help with losing weight. Buy a pair of dumbbells or some kettlebells and try carrying out some exercises with these. You can even run whilst doing exercises with dumbbells.
Track your progress
Tracking your progress is important for motivation. There are apps that can record how many calories you've burnt. Some may also benefit to record their progress as a diary or a blog. Weighing yourself each week is also important as well as measuring your waist. Also try taking photos in a mirror so that you can look back at how far you've come. Occasionally you may have setbacks – this is normal and don't let this demotivate you.
Have clear goals
It's important to have a clear goal ahead as well as microgoals to get you from week to week. One motivation could be to buy a bikini and make it your goal to fit into it by the end of your workout. It may be easier to set a dress size or have a pair of jeans that you hope to be able to fit into. Micro-goals meanwhile could be to lose a certain amount of pounds, run an extra distance or manage without a certain food (you can have multiple micro-goals at once).

A small but significant update to O2's website appears to confirm rumours that the iPhone 4G will come with integrated support for video calling.
A long list of the iPhone's key features, which is displayed online for potential O2 customers to peruse, shows that UK video calls will be accessible.
Since the iPhone 3G S lacks the front-facing camera which would make this possible, this suggests that the feature relates to its replacement.
Many other rumours relating to video calling have appeared in recent weeks, with some keen fans delving into the latest software development kit for the iPad to uncover clues.
This has been coupled with blueprints which seem to show a front-facing camera.
Most observers expect the iPhone 4G to get an official launch during Apple's annual World Wide Developer's Conference (WWDC), which is scheduled for late June.

I wasn't going to write a post this month. I played with a number of topics and got stuck on every single one. The words just weren't coming to me. Yesterday I decided to just leave it. To wait it out. Then this morning I woke to some sad news. A friend had passed away. This guy is a legend, and it makes me sad to know that his positive vibes, his brilliant stories and his big heart won't reach out to more beings. What made me smile was remembering how much he loved life. How he took in every moment as if it was his last and lived and loved to his greatest potential.
Sometimes it takes a death to remind us how important life is. Because life is short.
If you died today (and had the ability to reflect) would you be able to say you were happy with how you lived your life? With what you accomplished? With who you were as a person? Would you have regrets? Would you have done things differently?
Take a moment and step back to reflect on your life. You can't change what happened in the past, but you can choose to let go and learn to be present with what you have now. Recognize the opportunities and choices that you're given everyday. How can you choose to live to your greatest potential!?
Life is short. Live with greatness. Love a lot. Smile. Laugh. Cry. Hug and kiss. Love what you do. Do what you love. Follow your passions and desires. Tell people how you feel. Let go. Live with no regrets. Be present.
Yes, death sucks. And it will happen to all of us sooner then later. But if you're reading this you're lucky to still be alive. Celebrate that!
Thank you Anton, for reminding me how short life is and encouraging and showing so many of us how to enjoy it.
Love Nicole

ADAPT President Janet Pierce and charity coordinator Celia Drinkall presented 500-euro cheques to Hilario Tárraga of the local AECC cancer group and to the MABS Mar Menor, coordinator Janet Bell. ADAPT had decided last year that cancer charities would be the beneficiaries through last year's local charity fundraising, with AFACAR, a group that supports parents of cancer-suffering youngsters, also getting a 500-euro donation. The next monthly meeting for ADAPT will be on Saturday March 4th at 10.30 am at the Pensionista building, next to the Castelar College, Lo Pagan.

Progress on Bang Brewery
BANG! BREWERY is making progress on their new building on Capp Road. It looks too short right now, but I hear they put the roof part on, then it gets moved up and they add more to the sides. Both the building and the beer will be made in a sustainable manner. We're excited for our new neighbors.

Sketch for Survival is an unprecedented collection of wildlife art, part of the wider Explorers against Extinction campaign to raise awareness about the threats facing many of the world's most iconic species including elephant, rhino, lion and tiger. The collection comprises over 150 pieces of artwork kindly donated by leading international artists, as well as many celebrity supporters including Dame Judi Dench, Stephen Fry and Richard E Grant. One elephant in Africa is currently poached for its tusks every 26 minutes and contributing artists have been asked to spend the same amount of time on their wildlife sketch. All artwork features an endangered species and is available to purchase via online auction with profits being donated to Explorers against Extinction conservation charity partners working to protect wildlife.
The exhibition is touring the UK throughout the autumn before moving to New York in the US.
Also on display during the exhibition will be a huge animal wall mosaic made up entirely of photographs of dogs with their owners, including celebrity supporters and rangers. The mosaic, created specially for Selfie for Survival celebrates the extraordinary powers of dogs while raising awareness about the vital role of anti-poaching dogs working on the frontline of conservation.
