Australia is a huge country geographically, with not a whole lot of people in it. Even though we are one of the most urbanised countries in the world, building the National Broadband Network (NBN) and providing 'fast' internet in general has been no mean feat. In fact, it has been somewhat of a struggle, with providers having to compensate customers for slow speeds, and a whole range of customers ditching the NBN altogether and moving to alternative networks.
But for many households, the NBN will still be the source of the fastest internet plans you are likely to find. However, finding a fast plan and reliable provider is a massive challenge. Read on to find out who the fastest NBN providers in Australia are, and how to pick the right super-fast broadband plan for your needs.

Premium Evening Speed (NBN 100) Plans
The following table shows a selection of published unlimited Premium Evening Speed (NBN 100) plans on Canstar Blue's database, listed in order of monthly cost, from the lowest to highest, and then by alphabetical order of provider. Use our comparison tool above to see plans from a range of other providers. This is a selection of products with links to a referral partner. This list is not an endorsement of the speeds, which can be impacted by numerous variables.
What is the fastest internet in Australia?
Generally speaking, the fastest household internet speeds that you can expect in Australia are around 100 megabits per second (Mbps) downloading, and 40Mbps uploading. 100Mbps means you can download around 12.5 megabytes of content per second.
While there are undoubtedly some households sporadically achieving above this mark, 100Mbps is pretty much the benchmark for fast internet in Australia, while geographically smaller nations like Singapore and even New Zealand are getting access to much faster speeds of up to 1Gbps (gigabit per second). This is up to ten times faster than the fastest internet available here in Australia.
It's all well and good for telcos to advertise potential 100Mbps speeds, but what are you actually going to get in the real world? In February 2020, the ACCC released its eighth report on the state of telco services and the speeds of their NBN plans. The ACCC found that in peak periods (7pm to 11pm):
- Optus performed at 89.9% of its maximum plan speed
- Exetel performed at 86.6% of its maximum plan speed
- TPG performed at 86.6% of its maximum plan speed
- Aussie Broadband performed at 85.8% of its maximum plan speed
- Telstra performed at 84.4% of its maximum plan speed
- iiNet performed at 84.3% of its maximum plan speed
- MyRepublic performed at 82.3% of its maximum plan speed
- Dodo & iPrimus performed at 80.0% of its maximum plan speed
This in effect means that out of the biggest Australian providers, Optus was technically rated 'the best', as its plans were more likely to achieve their maximum speeds. This si the second report in a row to see Optus ranked number one; previously, TPG had held the top spot for several consecutive reports, which does demonstrate that performance does change from month to month. While the ACCC report is a helpful guide to which telcos might deliver the fastest speeds, keep in mind that there are still many variables that will impact what happens at your place.
If you're interested in plans from the above providers, we've listed plans from the top seven providers below. The following table shows a selection of published unlimited Premium Evening Speed (NBN 100) plans on Canstar Blue's database, listed in order of cost, from the lowest to highest and then by data allowance, largest to smallest. Use our comparison tool to see plans from a range of other providers. This is a selection of products with links to a referral partner.
I've experienced faster speeds than 100Mbps: What gives?
While there are certainly instances of home broadband speeds faster than 100Mbps downloading, chances are if you've done a speed test at a university or large business, you have experienced speeds much faster than 100Mbps. Wireless speeds of 400Mbps or more at a university are not uncommon!
This is because they frequently have more advanced infrastructure and different plans to what's available to the average home user. Residents of new apartment buildings may also get access to faster speeds than average, probably because of fibre internet being fed straight through the building – speeds of over 100Mbps for both downloading and uploading are often achieved.
How can I get fast internet in my home?
There are a number of things you can do to improve your internet speed without changing your plan per se, but Australians are generally experiencing faster internet speeds than ever before, with big potential for the future. However, pretty much the most foolproof way is to get an NBN plan on the fastest speed tier – that being Tier 4.
Premium Evening Speed/NBN 100 – 100Mbps Internet Plans
NBN 100, also known as Premium Evening Speed, represents the pinnacle of NBN top speeds in Australia – with 100Mbps downloads and 40Mbps uploads. NBN Co. (the company responsible for the rollout of NBN across the country) says that these speeds are good for 4K video streaming, 'super responsive' online gaming, and uploading and downloading large files.
Optus claims that maximum Premium speeds are enough to download a 200 megabyte TV show (about a 42 minute long show in high definition) in just 16 seconds. However, these plans can cost a pretty penny – often $80 a month or more for unlimited data.
How much does Premium Evening Speed/NBN 100 cost?
For unlimited data, the least you can expect to pay is about $70 a month, with most plans around $90 a month or more. For these prices, you usually only get straight broadband and not much in the way of home phone call packs, or any other perks included.
At the cheapest end of the scale, keep an eye out for service providers like MyRepublic, SpinTel, Barefoot Telecom and Mate Communicate. With the larger providers, such as Optus and Telstra, you'll usually need to pay around $90-$130 a month for unlimited data. However, where the bigger providers shine is with their inclusions of extra stuff – expect entertainment packages and other goodies to come bundled in.
What if I don't have fibre NBN?
While fibre NBN customers typically have the best chance to get superfast internet, other users shouldn't be completely dismayed.
- NBN Fixed Wireless customers can still get up to 50Mbps download speeds.
- SkyMuster customers can still achieve download speeds of around 25Mbps.
- ADSL2+ customers can get speeds download speeds up to 24Mbps.
- Cable customers can get anywhere from up to 30Mbps, all the way up to 100Mbps.
While it doesn't seem so long ago that Australians were used to hearing the beeps and boops of dial-up internet, it's evident we've come a long way in regards to internet speeds. Remember: 1 megabit is equal to about 0.125 megabytes, so multiply your theoretical top speed by that amount and that is feasibly how much you could download in one second.
However, keep in mind is that these listed top speeds are a maximum only. Many users report that their internet is much slower than the advertised speed, and as mentioned earlier, there are several factors that can be at fault here. While it makes sense to optimise your internet speed where possible, at the end of the day there are things like congestion that are out of your control that can affect speeds.
The issue of advertised speeds falling short of expectations has become a serious issue, with the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) investigating service providers to ensure the most accurate performance information is reported before customers sign up to new plans. Some fixed wireless and SkyMuster NBN plans can be found below, for an indication on price:
What's the best internet for streaming?
Netflix regularly rates how fast popular Australian broadband providers perform in its streaming speed tests. Optus frequently ranks as the best provider for Netflix out of the six main providers tested, usually ahead of iiNet, while Telstra has improved in recent times.
- Netflix recommends a minimum speed of 0.5Mbps for standard streaming and much faster for HD streaming.
- HD streaming requires much more bandwidth and a higher download speed.
Luckily, most broadband connections in Australia can feasibly cover this requirement. However, congestion and other factors can easily wreak havoc on your Netflix enjoyment.
Should I get faster internet?
Fast internet relies on countless factors to achieve optimum speeds, so taking a stab in the dark and changing providers on the same connection may not result in the improved performance you crave. However, if your current plan has been rather lackluster for a long time – and at all times of the day – then it could make sense to test the waters and switch providers.
- Arguably the best and easiest way to get faster internet will be to wait until the NBN comes to your house, and upgrade to the fastest Typical Evening Speed option available at your location.
- If you're already on the NBN, you might be surprised to know that a faster speed tier may not be all that much more expensive – or that your current plan may not be delivering the speeds you expected.
The NBN is Australia's best hope for reliable, wide-reaching and 'fast' internet, but until it's rolled out across the country, it can pay to make the best of what you currently have and shop around for a better deal.

Lightning Link Steps Back to the Lunar Landings
Most pokies in the Lightning Link range from Aristocrat have historical themes. These range from Chinese history, though to the gunfights of the Wild West. Moon Race takes a different angle, going back to the lunar landings of the 1970's. you'll find plenty of vivid reminders of this era, including a fully suited astronaut bouncing along on the moon.
There is a lot more to the Moon Race pokie than just amazing graphics. This title includes the key bonus features which make the Lightning Link range so popular. Here are the highlights:
400+ Games
1-2 Days
+1 More
You can unlock up to 4 jackpot prizes – as well as cash awards – with the Hold and Spin bonus. This game is a common feature among the Lightning Link and Lightning Cash pokies.
What better symbol to kick things off than the moon itself. This moon will show one of two things. Mostly, you'll find a cash award on them. Some of them show jackpots instead – with the smaller of the 4 progressives appearing on the moons.
When you get 6 or more from a single spin, the Hold N Spin game starts. Here are how things work:
There is no lightning on the moon, though plenty of it at the end of this bonus. Each cash award is multiplied by your coin size – with a lightning strike adding each one to a total above the reels. You can win the smaller jackpots multiple times on each feature.
Bonus symbols are the logo for this pokie – made to look like a patch on an astronaut's arm. You need 3 of them to get 10 free spins.
These spins are different from the base-game, with the lower paying playing card symbols removed from the reels. This makes it easier to get the bigger wins, wilds and the moons to trigger the Hold N Spin bonus. You can retrigger the bonus with more logos.
Moon Race comes in two versions. The setup (5×3 reels, 25 or 50 win-lines, 1c to 10c coin size) is identical. What is different is the states you can find them in, and how the jackpots are set up.
Moon Race Lightning Link: Available in NSW, ACT. QLD and VIC, features a shared progressive jackpot with the other games in this range in each casino.
Moon Race Lightning Cash: This is available in more states, NSW, ACT. QLD, VIC, SA, NT and NZ). The jackpot is tied to the individual machine and not shared.
Aristocrat have chosen iconic symbols from the moon missions. The guy in the space suit is wild and connects wins with other symbols. You will also find the iconic moon footprint, a buggy, lunar lander and a giant satellite dish on the reels. In the base game you will find those regular brightly coloured playing card symbols too.
Above the reels you will find the mirrored face-plated astronaut with a starry sky beyond. There are animations worthy of a sci-fi movie when you put wins together. My pick is the slow bounce of the astronaut as he walks on the moon. When you win with stacked wilds, these expand to give you a bigger version.
The choice of the moon for the Hold N Spin games is perfect. You'll see the usual lightning effects – and enjoy stirring music when you trigger this.
This is one of my favourite Lightning Link titles. It feels fresh and new compared to the tried and tested themes of others in this range. When you hit the free spins, your winning chances shoot up – with no low-paying playing cards on the reels. Hit the grand jackpot in the Hold N Spin, and you could be sent into orbit!

On the back of just one news release last week, uranium stocks received a significant bump upwards and the spot price jumped 10% in a single day. The news is that, by the end of January 2018, Cameco will suspend production at the McArthur River Mine and its Key Lake processing facility.
McArthur River is the world's largest uranium mine. Located in the Athabasca Basin (no surprises there) the mine is responsible for a considerable portion of global uranium production. In fact, analysts estimate that the suspension at McArthur River / Key Lake will remove approximately 7% of primary supply in 2018.
The suspension is set for a ten-month duration, but I strongly suspect this number could be fluid. After all, Cameco has already shut down its Rabbit Lake uranium mine and slashed its investor dividend from $0.40 to $0.08 per share. In other words, they are reducing operations stage-by-stage to position for the uranium upswing and are refusing to enter into long-term sales contracts until prices rise. Since no one can be certain exactly when that will occur, Cameco could well tighten its belt further if the market doesn't snap out of its malaise in 2018.
Cameco isn't the only one pulling back. After reducing its production by 10%, the world's largest uranium supplier (Kazakhstan) has signalled it may apply further cuts.
The great producer "pull back" should not be a surprise. Supply overhang, worries that the Japanese would dump the bulk of their inventories into the spot market, as well as an extended delay in utilities returning to the pre-Fukushima buying cycle has exerted brutal downwards pressure on spot prices. Analysts and industry insiders like myself and Fission President and COO, Ross McElroy, have warned for some time that most producers are losing money at current prices. The burn has finally begun to reach the point of agony.
This is clearly a very difficult time for Cameco and its investors. I have enormous respect for Tim Gitzel and team but at the same time, I'm relieved and encouraged by the announcement. Having been in the uranium sector since 1996, I've seen a lot of ups and downs in the sector and its really a case of simple math. A look at the WNA's facts and figures confirms that reactor numbers will continue to climb, while at the same time, producers are putting production on hold and refusing long-term supply commitments until prices rise. While I still can't say for sure how long we still have to wait for a consistent uptick in prices, I can say the wait just got a lot shorter.
Dev Randhawa, CEO of Fission Uranium.

Bi-Xenon: Acura TL
Worth It: Certainly not well known for being small and easy to retrofit or cheap, but boy are they worth it! Making one of the widest and brightest beam patterns for a bi-xenon, it's output is further enhanced beyond factory specs with the included ZKW-R clear lens upgrade
Performance: Few other designs can match the width, uniformity, and intensity produced by the TL's to begin with, but their full potential is really unleashed when the included 3" ZKW-R clear lenses are installed - with virtually no loss of intensity from side to side and more light throughout, the clear lenses take an already good projector and make it even better.
Installation Summary: Park car, mark stock beam-height on wall, disassemble headlight, cut original reflector to fit projector in place, re-mount modified headlights without lens cover, illuminate projector, then tack it into place using the reference height/level using epoxy gum.
Buyer Beware: The projectors are not brand new, but unlike the one's you'll buy on eBay for a few bucks less - TRS guarantees you'll get a matching pair with all the clips, wires, etc, and without any performance-affecting damage inside the reflector bowls (very common for Acura projectors, beware!)
- 2x Projectors:
- Acura TL Bi-xenon
- 2x Clear Lenses:
- ZKW-R (OEM are Installed)
- 2x Solenoid Inputs:
- Sealed Male 9006 Pigtails
- Warranty:
- Two Years
- Functionality:
- Low and High Beam (Bi-xenon)
- Traffic Patterns:
- LHD and RHD
- Compatible With:
- 35W and 50W HID Systems

Sports and dementia
These days we are seeing more and more people being diagnosed as having one form or another of dementia and neurological illnesses, and many of these support or follow their local sports teams whether that is rugby, football, cricket or one of the many other sports these days.
But just how many football, cricket or rugby clubs, do anything to encourage people with dementia to visit their games.
Many may feel intimidated, by the sheer numbers of people around them, or the size of the building, so they perhaps don't attend games.
To me this is a great shame as watching the television, does not give you the same atmosphere as being at the real game.
It may well be more comfortable sitting at home in an armchair rather than a hard plastic seat, but it's not the same.
Many people with wheel chairs etc are given preferential treatment which is lovely, but in this day and age they should be thinking of everyone with a disability. I know that many people with dementia etc do not see themselves as disabled, but in many ways they have major problems trying to keep up with modern day life and all it throws at us, usually at a very fast pace.
I do think that people with dementia should also be given support and help to go to these games.
I think that the main problem is that the Governing Bodies of sport do not even think of people with dementia in the first place, so it goes no further.
In the North East alone we have Newcastle United, Sunderland, Newcastle Falcons rugby, along with Durham County Cricket club, to name just a few, and I would like to see them all embrace dementia in the future.
Let us hope that sport venues, try to help people with dementia and other nuerological illnesses to become more active and more involved with their local teams.
Many of these sporting venues are worth millions if not billions of pounds, so surely they could spend a little money and time by encouraging and helping people with dementia and other nuerological illnesses to become more involved.
At the end of the day, it helps us to remain active and part of the community.

The fact that men increasingly have their own cosmetic routines and rituals is evidenced by the increasing number of barbershops in the Czech capital.
Although the salon treatment of beards has a lengthy history, in the past decades it has receded somewhat into the background.
At the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, however, it was an integral part of the life of almost every Czech man, not only for the purpose of keeping up appearances but above all as a fulfillment of his social duties.
"In Scotland, barbershops have their own tradition, and young boys learn from their fathers that a well-maintained appearance is essential," says Suzie Gillespie, owner of the Edinburgh salon The Players Lounge, who, along with colleague Suzane Davila-Ruiz will attend the first Prague Barber Festival on Thursday.
The festival will see the Czech capital's popular Cargo Gallery, an arts venue permanently docked at Náplavka, transformed into a traditional barbershop.
In addition to beard trims from Scotland, the evening will also showcase leading Czech hairdressers who will be on hand to give razor shaves and other tips.
Admission includes a five-whisky tasting flight and live music from British musician Adrian T. Bell of the Prague-based band The Prostitutes, who will serve up a catchy rock set from both of his solo albums during the evening.
The event starts at 19:00 on August 10.
Admission is 200 CZK in advance or 250 CZK at the door.

The Choosing
by Annabelle Jacobs
Published October 18th 2013 by Dreamspinner Press
Formats Available: .epub, .mobi, html, pdf, Paperback
My Rating: 4 of 5 Stars
Jerath is facing the biggest problem of his life. When boys in his shapeshifter village Eladir get their fangs, they must endure a coming-of-age rite called the Choosing, so they can take on their animal form. The rite is performed on the full moon, but the trouble is the Choosing involves having sex with a girl, and Jerath's only interested in boys. Even if he manages to somehow get through the rite, he doesn't know if he'll ever find a mate in his village, where opposite-sex couples are the norm.
Even worse, he may miss the rite altogether after raiders attack his home and take several young men prisoner. Jerath will need the help of warriors if he's to free the captive shapeshifters, so with his best friend, Serim, he flees south to find aid. Along the way, they meet Meren, a handsome warrior whose attraction to Jerath is instant and very much returned. But with the next full moon approaching and available time for the prisoners to undergo the Choosing running out, Jerath's love life is far from his only worry.
The Choosing was a very nice surprise for me. This was filed in my Holiday Reads folder and frankly kept this for last for I honestly thought this was just another paranormal shape-shifter story. Well, it is a paranormal, shape-shifter story but somehow this came out strong and very visual.
This is basically the story of Jerath and his coming of age as a shape-shifter. Through some unfortunate events, his rite through Choosing was interrupted because of the kidnappings of some of his friends and he and his best-friend Serim find themselves in the middle of nowhere, running for the one village they had heard would help theirs out. Along the way, Jerath's fangs descend and Serim goes through the rite with him. (At this point, I have to warn those MM purists out there that there is the one MF scene necessary written in. The necessity is for Jerath to get through the rite and be able to shift. Without Serim, he could have lost all.)
Soon they meet up with the hunters led by Meren, the chief's son who come from the very village they were searching for. What takes Jerath by surprise is the bond the rises between them. Coming from a village that sees same sex bonding as wasteful, it took some time for him for adjust to Meren who sees this as a normal pairing.
The bonding between these two young men was formulaic, but that is as far as this book's formulaicness goes. There is none of the rushed screaming out the primal MINE! for one. Instead, we get a gradual acceptance of the other, a gradual learning of each other, and a gradual loving. This is what made this whole book a bit different from the rest.
What really got my attention was the way this was written: it is in present tense. It was quite different but somehow it lent a bit of mystery to the story. (I know, I may not make sense here, but bear with me.) This style of writing just made it more 'present' for me. This 'presentness' made what was next to come in the story a bit more mysterious, less predictable.
The mystery is implied. There are some questions that came up and yet left unresolved like who were those men who kidnapped the young, unshifted males or what was that chain mentioned by the kidnappers that made shifting impossible? There is more of a story here than what is written. This makes me think there is a sequel to this or this may just be the beginning of an already unfolding arc.
All in all, this was a really light read and yet it left me satisfied no end. The romantic aspect was sweet and the bit of action told was quite visual. The whole story was just told in a manner not quite what we may be used to but still gave me that 'oomph' I was looking for. Yes, this surprised me, but it did so in a really good way. So yeah, goofy smile on!

Karen Bridges
Part I: An Educated Man's Daughter
Three Guineas was the last major work that Virginia Woolf would publish before her death. Part scrapbook, part hypothetical epistolary, part polemic essay, it defies any rigid categorization and is remarkable in its premise. It begins simply enough: the anonymous narrator, the "daughter of an educated man," sets out to answer a question that has been posed to her via letter – a letter from a (similarly anonymous) wealthy, educated man: "How in your opinion are we to prevent war?" From there, the narrator's answer to this letter is anything but simple.
Woolf's argument is complex, nuanced, ironic, and deeply sardonic and serious at the same time, which makes it difficult to summarize. In three long chapters, she makes it clear that she cannot dissociate the rise of fascism from the patriarchal institutions that govern 1930s England. She condemns the government, universities, military, and church as hegemonic institutions that restrict power and emphasize superiority, competition, and jealousy. Like many feminists of her time (and today), Woolf points out these institutions don't just restrict women, they marginalize and manipulate men as well, especially poorer men. Patriarchal culture has succeeded in making people jealous, possessive, and combative—which, extrapolated on grand scales, leads to war, and is detrimental to all.
This series will focus on the parts of the text where Woolf calls out religion for its role in bolstering the patriarchy and the rise of fascism. In the first chapter, Woolf writes about education. Her narrator is incredulous that an educated man should ask an uneducated woman her opinion on such a significant subject as war. The fact that he is educated and she is not presents a "precipice, a gulf so deeply cut" (6) that she must first address this discrepancy before anything else. For centuries, education was encouraged for men and denied to women. But women weren't simply left out—by staying at home, tending to innumerable domestic affairs, and being denied equal portions of fortune and income, they enabled men the time and money to focus on their education. Woolf writes that this injustice has resulted in such disparity between men and women, "that though we look at the same things, we see them differently." (7)
Universities, although technically open to women in 1938 when Three Guineas was published, were greatly unbalanced in favor of men. They were still segregated, and there were only a handful of colleges for women, most of them controlled and restricted by the male-dominated Universities of which they were a part. The facilities where the women lived and studied were dilapidated. At the time Woolf was writing the book, women were still prevented from putting the letters "B.A." after their names when seeking work, even though they paid tuition (and more of it, since there were fewer scholarships for women), passed the same coursework and exams that men did. At Newnham, a women's college at Cambridge founded in 1871, women had been insisting on being able to use the titles and privileges of their educations for decades. In 1887, 1897, and again in 1921, mobs of male students resorted to violent protests against women being granted full degrees, damaging property as well as a gate that had been put up in honor of Nenham's first principal. Women would not be admitted as full members of Cambridge until 1948.
Woolf then traces the struggle for equality in education to the vein of of religion. "The influence of religion upon women's education, one way or another, can scarcely be overstated," (180) she writes. She quotes one of her contemporaries, the writer Mary Butts, who wrote that "I was told that desire for learning in woman was against the will of God, so were many innocent freedoms, innocent delights, denied in the same Name." (180) This struggle against religion for equality in education, however, was hardly a recent phenomenon. Woolf cites the case of Mary Astell, an early champion of gender equality and often cited as England's first feminist. Although very little about her life is known, (throughout Three Guineas, Woolf repeatedly notes the lack of women's biographies as another source of inequality—the number of women whose lives have been erased cannot be ignored while reading this text) some of her writings remain. In 1694 she published Serious Proposal to the Ladies for the Advancement of their True and Greatest Interest, and a second part in 1697, in which she proposed the funding of a college for women.
Astell's intent was that women should have equal opportunities as men to education. Without education, without being able to understand the world, religion, and lived experience, she believed that women did not have the same opportunity as men at eternal life with God. She proposed a college where women could live and study together, beyond the influence of men and patriarchal society. The reception to this idea was mixed—she was derided by fellow authors, such as Jonathan Swift, but Woolf notes that Astell caught the interest of several wealthy female patrons, including the Princess Anne, who was willing to give £10,000 to her cause, an enormous sum, especially for the time.
Unfortunately, there were many, including a certain Bishop Burnet, who told the prospective donor he thought the plan of insulating women away from the world smacked too strongly of a nunnery and Catholicism. During a time when the conflict and division between the Church of England and the Catholic Church (not to mention the various sects of Protestantism) was broiling, Bishop Burnet's influence could not be ignored. The college was never funded. Woolf speculates that the Bishop himself took the money, which she concedes "is an assumption, but one perhaps justified by the history of the Church." (181) The issue the bishop took with Astell's plans was not so much against the education of women, especially if it was by religious means. The issue was that it seemed to promote the "wrong" religion. For Woolf, this calls society's perceived value of education into question: "it is only good for some people and for some purposes. It is good if it produces a belief in the Church of England; bad if it produces a belief in the Church of Rome; it is good for one sex and for some professions, but bad for another sex and for another profession." (34)
This is an example of Woolf being deeply ironic and serious at the same time. Woolf understands very well the power of education—as do the men of the church. Bishop Burnett disapproved of Astell on the grounds of religion as an excuse, as a front, for the true fear. Education is empowerment, and the empowerment of women is a threat to absolute patriarchal control. In Woolf's first chapter, she has deconstructed the hypocrisy of English patriarchy society, which touts the benefits of education even as it is denied women, which decries fascism abroad but perpetuates it at home.
In my next article, I will explore Woolf's documentation of the methods and means in which the Church of England discriminated on the basis of gender in her own time, and the power in passivity.

Yeshaneh sets world record in half marathon in Nike shoes

RAS AL KHAIMAH, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES -- Ababel Yeshaneh set a world record in the women's half marathon on Friday in the latest breakthrough by athletes wearing high-tech Nike shoes.
The Ethiopian runner won the Ras Al Khaimah Half Marathon in 1 hour, 4 minutes, 31 seconds, knocking 20 seconds off the previous record set by Joyciline Jepkosgei in Valencia in 2017.
"I didn't imagine this result," Yeshaneh said.
Brigid Kosgei, the marathon world record holder, also broke Jepkosgei's time while finishing second behind Yeshaneh.
Since 2018, the men's and women's records in both the marathon and half marathon have all been broken by athletes in Nike shoes. The Vaporfly range uses thick foam soles and a carbon plate to allow athletes to use their energy more efficiently.
The shoes have prompted concerns that athletes sponsored by other companies have no chance of competing in key races, such as the upcoming Olympics.
World Athletics cleared athletes to keep using Nike Vaporfly-style shoes last month, even though it warned that rapid advances in shoe technology threaten "the integrity of the sport." The shoes meet new World Athletics rules on sole thickness and a requirement to be available for any athlete to buy.

Their Money or Your Life
The United States is the laughingstock of the world these days, thanks to the health insurance companies that have thoroughly subjugated our democracy. The changes that the large majority of people want are being drowned out by a lunatic fringe that represents about 3 percent of the population. Meanwhile, thousands of people die every year thanks to the for-profit industry that dominates health care in this country. This state of affairs is nothing short of domestic terrorism, and it is supported by some Democrats and virtually all Republicans, who are being showered with one million dollars a day to keep things exactly the way they are. Washington, D.C. has proven itself again as nothing more than the world's largest whorehouse. Then there is the wonderful mainstream media, which is conglomerated with the same insurance companies that brought us this horror show. Which explains why they don't ask one obvious question: Why can we have trillion dollar wars, yet we can't have single payer or the public option? Why don't we hear anything about the deficit when the next 100 billion dollars leaves the treasury for Iraq and Afghanistan? No, we only hear about it when it comes to actually saving people's lives rather than killing them. What a disgusting joke of a civilization we have allowed ourselves to become!

text: Dave Whitlock - September 18, 2012 Greenleaf State Park Illustration: Al Hassall When I eventually write a book about my life as a fly fisher, I'll call it Greenleaf, after a small lake and stream in northeastern Oklahoma, 17 miles from my birthplace of Muskogee.During the Depression, the Works Progress Administration (WPA) constructed a 40-foot, earth-and-rock dam across Greenleaf Creek, and it quickly filled and formed a lovely 4-mile-long lake. According to my folks, who were often jobless during that era, it was one of the few good things that happened there.My first fishing memory of Greenleaf is from not long after the lake was filled, when my dad, Joe, and granddad, Dee, caught a big stringer of largemouth bass and channel catfish while cane-pole minnow fishing. How exciting it was to have such great fishing so close to home. Often, over the next several years, dad and granddad took me to Greenleaf on weekends during school and several times a week during my summer vacations. We usually plug-fished for bass in the morning and evening, and through midday we'd tie up to some shady, bankside willows and fish for catfish with ripe chicken entrails and shrimp. I hated baiting my hook with that smelly stuff. One year granddad built a 16-foot rowboat out of cypress and oak. It must have weighed 500 pounds when it was dry. Soon after that he bought a moody and smoky old Johnson 5-horsepower motor. It was wonderful because it allowed us to fish the entire lake, even into the remote upper end at the farthest point from the boat dock. But it was also terrible, because about half the time that old Johnson failed to start and we often had to row and paddle until after dark to return to the dock. When we'd finally reach it, there was always the nightmarish task of lifting that water-laden wooden boat onto its homemade trailer. In those days boat trailers lacked tilts, winches, or rollers and getting the heavy wooden rowboat on the trailer was a four-man job. Granddad, a blacksmith and professional wrestler, had the strength of two normal men, and grandma and I made up for another. The final energy needed came from sheer determination.When I was nine years old, I received my first fly rod, a 9-foot, three-piece warped and peeling bamboo. Almost from the start, I caught more fish with my fly rod than with my little 4-foot backlashing baitcaster. The fish I caught were smaller, but at that age size mattered little and fly fishing was immediately more fun than other methods. From what I had seen and read in granddad's L.L. Bean catalogs and Outdoor Life issues, fly fishing seemed a better alternative to backlashes and stink baits. I learned that in some ways my judgement was correct, but I also discovered that a fly rod has its share of physical and sociological disadvantages.None of my family or friends fly fished, and after watching my spastic, line-tangling, rod-waving hookups on everything except fish, they decided that the fly rod was a lethal weapon: They banned me from fishing with it in granddad's boat. So, until I was 15, my fly fishing was confined to waters near home that I could reach by walking or riding my bike. On rare occasions I'd cajole my folks into taking me to the smallmouth bass creeks along Oklahoma's mountainous eastern border, and once we even went to the Roaring River Trout Park in Missouri.Then, during the summer of my fifteenth year, something wonderful happened. I was fly fishing at Honor Heights Park Lake, near Muskogee, when a smiling, friendly boy, a little older than me, came up and asked me if I was catching anything. His name was Dick Storkes, a seventeen-year-old high school senior and lifeguard at the park pools. Dick, much to my surprise and joy, was a fly fisher. In fact, he was the first real fly fisherman I had met. We became immediate friends, and that afternoon he asked me if I'd like to fly fish with him the next Saturday on Greenleaf Lake. Dick had a 1938 blue Chevy coupe, a driver's license, and a canoe. What more could anyone want?I wanted to go to Greenleaf with Dick more than anything in the world, but my parents wouldn't give me permission until they met Dick and his parents. It didn't hurt when they heard that Dick was an honor student and an outstanding swimmer on the high school team.Continued - click on page link below. Illustration: Al Hassall Of all my hundreds of trips to Greenleaf Lake, my first day with Dick was the most memorable, not only because of the great fishing, but also because it was also my first taste of adult freedom. Dick picked me up before dawn in his little blue Chevy with his beautiful, long, green canvas-and-wood Old Town canoe tied to the top. To my surprise, there was an attractive girl with him — his steady girlfriend Shirley, whom he promised could use his car after we'd launched the canoe at Greenleaf. I remember thinking, "How much more fortunate could a guy be than Dick? He's got everything: a car, a canoe, a fly rod, and a pretty girlfriend!"The memory of that day with Dick is as vivid to me now as if it happened yesterday. I got to sit in the front seat of a car for the first time. Driving that familiar 17 miles with him was like going on an epic adventure.Daylight approached as we pulled up to the lake's dock. After he untied the canoe, Dick asked me to "take hold of one end and help him lift it off the car's roof." The boat was as light as a feather compared to granddad's old boat. We packed our gear and lunch and said goodbye to Shirley. Dick had me get into the bow and gave me a few quick instructions about canoeing, and then we paddled out onto Greenleaf, as free as I'd ever been.Few feelings I've ever had could match the ones I experienced that day. The sleek canoe moved across the water quietly, smoothly, and quickly on the lake's surface, beginning my 50-year love affair with canoes that has never dulled.We covered nearly every inch of Greenleaf's shoreline that day with our bass bugs, bream flies, and lures. We caught largemouth and spotted bass, bluegill, green sunfish, warmouth bass, and crappie. I cannot recall a minute that one of us didn't have a fish on. It was paradise.About two in the afternoon, we went for a swim to cool off, then sat in the water and ate our fill of the crispy, brown southern-fried chicken and fudge-chocolate cake that Dick's mother had prepared for our outing. Afterward, we took a nap in a nice grassy spot under the shade of a big oak tree, which turned out to be the only mistake we made that day-I'll tell you why in a moment.We spent the late afternoon up in Greenleaf Creek, fishing the deep shady holes from the canoe and wading the cool, shallow riffles and runs. For me, fishing had never been better.At sundown we started back across the lake to the dock to meet Shirley for the drive back to Muskogee. To my amazement, Dick swam the last three miles to the dock. We loaded up and headed home. That concluded my initiation into the free world of fly fishing, but the effect of our adventure was long-lasting for all three of us, because our midday nap had allowed dozens of chiggers to crawl up on us and then onto to Shirley on the ride home. The chiggers found their mark, and we all itched and scratched for a week.My dad, granddad, and Dick are all gone now, but the lessons and experiences they and Greenleaf gave me about the value of friends and family, nature, good sportsmanship, and fly fishing remain fresh in my life. In appreciation for those gifts, I try to pass along the same excitement and enthusiasm to everyone I know.Greenleaf still exists, not only in my mind, but because it was made a state park some years ago and it remains much the same as when I was fifteen. I try to visit there at least once a year with my own sleek, wooden, green Old Town canoe and someone I love. When I'm there, I can feel my dad's, granddad's, and Dick's presence, more than in any other place we shared. Get Your Fish On. Plan your next fishing and boating adventure here.
