From The World Habitat Award
The World Habitat Awards were presented on Monday 3rd October at the UN-HABITAT global observance of World Habitat Day in Aguascalientes, Mexico.
World Habitat Day
The United Nations has designated the first Monday in October every year as World Habitat Day to reflect on the state of human settlements and the basic right to adequate shelter for all. The theme of this year’s World Habitat Day was ‘Cities and Climate Change'.
Australia Winner | 2011
Initiated in 1985, the Housing for Health programme aims to improve the health of Indigenous people in Australia, by ensuring they have access to safe and well functioning housing and an improved living environment. It uses a survey and fix methodology for testing whether the houses are safe to live in and have functioning electrical and water supply systems. The Nine Healthy Living Practices pioneered through the project are now part of current federal and state government policy and knowledge gained through the Housing for Health projects has been used to develop a national Indigenous housing design code that respects cultural traditions and norms.
To improve the health of indigenous people, by ensuring they have access to a safe and well functioning house, and an improved living environment.
There is a long history of abuse, mistreatment and misunderstanding of the indigenous people of Australia, not least when it comes to the provision of appropriate housing. Indigenous people live in very poor housing conditions and where the state provides housing, it is not designed with any understanding of the way of life or cultural needs of these communities. The common view is that the indigenous people ‘trash’ the good homes provided for them and do not deserve decent housing provision. The houses are often in disrepair and there are high levels of rent arrears.
Many indigenous people have low literacy rates as well as a pattern of poor health characterised by high rates of infectious disease and very high rates of diabetes, vascular disease and obesity. Skin infections, respiratory diseases, rheumatic fever, rheumatic heart disease and ear disease in children also occur at much higher rates than in the non-indigenous population. Life is typically lived in harsh, remote and often chaotic conditions. Housing is usually provided by local or state governments or indigenous community organisations and is of poor quality with little, if any, maintenance or good management.
Healthabitat works with local indigenous communities to repair existing homes and train local people in basic repair and maintenance skills. It has two main areas of work – the HfH projects and the associated applied research and development projects. The safety and nine Healthy Living Practices were developed in the mid 1980s to describe the functioning hardware needed in a house to allow access to healthy living. These practices include: life threatening safety issues, washing people, washing clothes and bedding, removing waste water safely, improving nutrition with the ability to store, preparing and cooking food and reducing the health impacts of dust. Nominations for inclusion in the programme come from communities themselves, as well as indigenous housing boards and Indigenous Affairs departments. After a feasibility study and if the communities wish to participate, a Survey-Fix week is set aside and a number of local community members are trained to work alongside technical staff to inspect, test and record about 240 items in the houses, and where possible make repairs. The information on each house is entered onto a database and work lists are given to qualified trades people who carry out urgent repairs a day later. Other repairs are completed over the following months and a second Survey-Fix session is carried out to review the work.
One hundred and eighty four HfH projects have been carried out all around Australia, with over 7,300 houses improved to date. Seventy-five per cent of all project staff are local indigenous people and the paid work they carry out includes project planning, training of staff, testing and repairing houses, assisting licensed trades people with major repair work, data entry and office work and liaison with householders in their own language about the aims and methods of the programme. Survey groups are trained in a short time to test houses and record the results, using a carefully prescribed methodology. While they are in a house they will also fix minor faults (a dripping tap, a missing stove control knob or basin plug etc.) driven by the philosophy of ‘no survey without service’ and make a report for the skilled tradesmen who make an immediate start on sorting out those things that the groups are not entitled to fix. The effort required to achieve this engagement is rarely understood by government agencies and bureaucrats and successful and appropriate means of working have been developed over the years.
Healthabitat has also initiated a broad range of applied, practical research projects to improve housing, covering issues such as development of tap ware, hot water systems, waste disposal systems, lighting, kitchen design, prefabricated transportable shower laundry and toilet modules, local indigenous staff training aids and customised database and information systems.
Covering costs
By Australian standards, HfH is a low-cost programme. From 1999 to 2009, projects had an average cost of US$7,500 per house for all works including repair work, management, staff wages, building materials and transport. This is helped by the Healthabitat organisation itself having very low overheads.
Since 2006, approximately 15 per cent of the national HfH budget has been allocated to research and development projects.
Over 180 HfH projects have improved more than 7,000 houses with poor function since 1999 and improved the living conditions of over 40,000 indigenous people. This represents one third of the nation’s indigenous housing stock.
A recent state government health department review of ten years of HfH work showed a 40 per cent reduction in hospital admissions for environmental health related illnesses.
The use of data generated by HfH projects over the years now informs the National Indigenous Housing Guide – now nationally accepted as an essential design guide for the construction and refurbishment of indigenous housing.
The current National Partnership Agreement for Remote Indigenous Housing being delivered nationally across Australia has incorporated the nine Healthy Living Practices. Ongoing work is being carried out to ensure that implementation of the policy is delivered. Whilst indigenous community housing organisations are happy to take on the ideas, there is a greater struggle to ensure that state landlords do so (with some notable exceptions).
HfH project data is regularly updated and made available by Healthabitat to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (a Federal Government agency) who package and place the data online for use by registered housing and health researchers.
Innovative Aspects
Developing the HfH methodology with standard repeatable tests to assess the safety and health function of housing.
Policy of immediate repair work that improves houses from the first day of a project and builds community trust.
Continual monitoring, development and refining of the Healthy Living Practices over 25 years, reinforces the links between health, housing function and the broader living environment.
As monitoring health gain on each project can be costly and disruptive, HfH projects use the detailed housing function data collected before repair work commences and similar data after all repair work has been completed.
Community involvement in all aspects of HfH projects such as on the tools, repair work, data work, management of the project, community liaison and training. This has meant significantly better project results, better targeting of resources and the possibility of locally controlled ongoing housing maintenance and management.
Using detailed project data, assembled into a national database, to influence national indigenous housing and health policy.
Encouraging more holistic thinking between government departments so that housing and health are linked.
HfH work involves bringing existing housing back into better condition for it to serve as decent housing. There is not therefore significant investment in new materials.
Passive design measures help reduce the internal house temperature by an average of four degrees and thus lessen the use of cooling systems. These measures include shading windows and walls, adding insulation and ceiling venting.
Installation of low energy heating and cooling systems helps reduce energy consumption.
In one community, water saving techniques, primarily by carefully monitoring and repairing leaks in water pipes and installing water saving appliances where water quality allows, have enabled water consumption to be reduced from 149 to 64 litres per day per household. There is an annual saving of 100 million litres of water and US$67,000 is saved annually in water charges.
A variety of passive landscaping techniques around the houses and communities help to reduce erosion and environmental damage in the desert areas, where many of these projects are located.
School children work on Healthy Living Practices as school projects providing an increased understanding of energy saving.
Current Federal Government policy direction means that state governments will increasingly take responsibility for the management of indigenous housing and therefore the funding of HfH programmes.
At the end of 2011, it is anticipated that the following sources of funding will be available - state governments (75 per cent), NGOs (10 per cent), private sector (5 per cent) and indigenous community funding and in kind contributions (10 per cent).
The running costs of the Healthabitat organisation have historically always been very low. From 1991 to 1998, the running costs were met by the three partners when no other funds were available. Since 1998, Healthabitat has only had one part-time member of staff. Funding of all contract staff is on a project-by-project basis and a small percentage of each project’s funds is used as a source of running costs. The same low-cost model will be used in the future.
Over 75 per cent of the HfH’s staff team is comprised of local indigenous people. They are paid in line with local rates to carry out productive work on their own community houses. Skills gained include project planning, training, electrical and plumbing skills, data entry and office work and liaison with householders, which can be used to gain employment in the mainstream employment sectors.
Small businesses are created within the community, dealing with minor plumbing maintenance, water meter reading for local authorities, window insect screen replacement teams, lunch making and catering, landscaping and fencing.
When all elements of a house are fully functioning, there is greater access to decent housing. Increasing house size or numbers, for example, does not guarantee reduced overcrowding in this culture, whereas improving house function, often at a much lower cost, does.
Reduced running costs for lighting and cooling improve affordability.
Healthabitat requires that at least 70 per cent of all staff are from indigenous groups and include men and women of all ages in the community. For the last ten years, at least 75 per cent of staff come from these groups.
With the involvement of the whole community from the early stages of the project onwards, a greater sense of community cooperation has developed, especially in those communities that are at a low point.
A wide range of skills and experience are obtained by those working on the project. Some of those who have been involved as community trade assistants are accepted by the licensed trades as apprentices, leading to trade qualifications.
Local community members gain working experience often for the first time, thus enabling them to be more work ready and able to participate in other government building contracts.
A supplementary programme called Maintaining Houses for Better Health designed to continue training and to skill local staff in ‘health based’ house management systems is currently being trialled.
There is an improved understanding of the indigenous culture and way of life, typically developed on an individual basis between the indigenous and non-indigenous staff members working on the project.
The HfH survey sheets used by local team members generate an interest in literacy, which increases work options.
Disabled access to all parts of the house is provided as part of the standard work on the project.
Local people are not just seen as ‘cheap local labour’ or involved just to achieve political participation targets, but rather they are fully involved in all the tasks involved in an HfH project –the thinking and planning as well as the physical work.
Data entry skills acquired by young women raise their status in society and often help them gain permanent posts locally.
Commonly held myths about indigenous people reinforce existing housing policy orthodoxy and prevent change. Healthabitat has used the evidence collected from HfH projects to disprove some of the common myths.
Fast, politically expedient growth threatens long-term programme sustainability as rapid expansion denies the very factors that have led to success – community involvement through staff training and careful project planning. By sticking to the principles political acrimony has been incurred and slower growth achieved than might have been possible.
The hard evidence of HfH data has highlighted the failures of previous government intervention and this has created political disfavour and slowed the work in some states. HfH remains committed to its priorities and methods of working and accepts that it is better to do this than compromise.
Change is possible and will most typically be achieved by making a small change first, with larger changes to follow.
Making some change to people’s living conditions on the first day of every project is important.
Set clear goals and principles, with a clear priority for action that can be understood by the local community.
Retaining a strong consistent methodology is important for programme longevity.
Defining and recording hard data will help to show progress to those you work with and the local community as a whole.
A broad range of technical skills is essential to improve all aspects of housing.
Engage local people who will benefit from the project in all its aspects from the outset.
HfH projects and the programme as a whole have been regularly monitored and evaluated over 25 years, both internally and externally. The continuing emphasis on internal monitoring and evaluation is one of the reasons for the continued programme development and improvement. The most comprehensive external evaluations were an independent review of the programme, 2002 to 2005 and an independent review on the health impacts of ten years of HfH projects in New South Wales, 1998 to 2009.
Between 1999 and 2010, HfH projects have been commenced in 184 locations around Australia. These projects have improved over 7,000 houses and improved the living conditions of over 40,000 indigenous people. University courses have been offered to date in three states to students of architecture, planning, nursing, and health science and it is planned to increase these.
The National Partnership Agreement for Remote Indigenous Housing currently being rolled out across Australia (US$5.5 billion) by the Federal and all state governments has incorporated the safety and nine Healthy Living Practices in all the national guideline documents. Healthabitat recognises that it will need to continue to work to ensure these guidelines are respected and implemented.
A large NGO addressing homelessness in the USA is currently trialling an HfH project in an urban public housing district of New York City.
The HfH principles have been applied by Healthabitat to a remote village sanitation project for 450 people in Nepal.

Its a dumb bill.
If the government wants to force people to quit smoking, all they have to do is slap a $20/pack Tax on cigarettes.
Back in 2017, California voters ganged up on cigarette smokers and hit them with a $2-per-pack excise Tax. The smokers complained and whined but we grossly outnumbered them, hah hah...
Cigarette purchases in California dropped nearly 50% in one year! Sales continue to go down. . . .
If they raised the Cigarette Tax in Hawaii to $20/pack, everyone will give up smoking because it will be too expensive!
Progressives are so good at weaponizing Taxes. I'm surprised they haven't thought to do this in Hawaii.
Governments will always devise ways to deprive an honest man of his money or property, and claim that it's legal.

Somewhere near half of the cigarettes purchased in NYC are smuggled in these days to avoid the high taxes on them in NYC.
That means lots of money is being funneled into criminal enterprises that are probably a lot worse than smuggling or smoking.
Besides, it's un-libertarian and immoral to try to change people's behavior by taxation. Not only that, it's an illegal use of the taxing power.

An "illegal" use of the taxing power? I certainly believe that it is an immoral use of the taxing power. How can a law that establishes a tax be illegal? It's a law.

What is the proper response to an illegal tax?
My mother's cigarette bill was something like $90/week.
You'd be surprised what people will spend on an addiction.
Everything they have.
Its a dumb bill...
Rep. Creagan's anti-smoker bill (as proposed) is absurd - he wants to raise the smoking age to 100.
Why not raise the smoking age to 150? or 200? See how silly this is?
With a heavy excise tax on cigarettes, the smokers get to decide whether they continue to smoke or - - not not the voters or legislators.

What do you think? From what you told me, you think it's to be ready with your gun to shoot the revenuers when they show up to gun you down for not paying.
The proper response to an illegal tax should be a lawsuit and a court decision to stop levying the illegal tax that the government abides by.

Aspen Mays: Approaching Infinite Limits

Art Building, Room #133
Opening Reception: Tuesday October 1, 6:00pm-7:30pm
One Washington Square
San José, CA 95192
The Natalie and James Thompson Art Gallery is pleased to present the work of Aspen Mays whose work represents a range of photographic practices including photograms, manipulated archival materials, collage, dyed prints, as well as works employing a camera. Of the methods used in her work Mays has said “Using analog processes is a way to create a human presence that may be counter to rationalist thinking, or objectivity, or a machine. I want to insert the human back into everything; I’m trying to figure out these systems with whatever is at hand.” A solo exhibition of works selected from a range of different projects by Mays will open on October 1, continuing on display through November 1, 2019.
Born in Asheville, NC, and raised in Charleston, SC, Aspen Mays currently lives in the San Francisco Bay Area where she teaches at the California College of the Arts (CCA). Mays joined CCA in 2015, and she is an Associate Professor in Graduate Fine Arts and Undergraduate Photography. She received a BA in Anthropology and Spanish from The University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill in 2004 and an MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2009.
Mays’ work often employs methods of exploring memory and the limits of human understanding through tactility, repetition, and intuition. Much of Mays’ time is spent in the darkroom feeling the materials she works with and conducting repetitive experiments, often without using a camera. In some ways, these methods do not align neatly with the ocular truism “seeing is believing.” As a byproduct of relying on touch more than what might be expected in photography, Mays’ process approaches the infinite limits of knowing through memory and repetition. The term “infinite limits” derives from calculus and implies space is a continuum and is not completable. A limit, by definition cannot be infinite. As such, the mathematical practice of approaching, but never reaching, an infinite limit indicates that practice’s own conceptual impossibility, similar to the paradoxes Aspen Mays investigates in her work. “I’ve always been a curious person and I try to channel that as an artist,” says Mays whose artistic practice revolves around the tension between the human desire to find meaning in the unknown and the human incapacity to understand the unknown. As a result, many of her works originate from or are themselves constructions from multiple sources, materials, and techniques, assembled together, aptly, in the dark.
“Research is often the catalyst for my work,” says Mays whose honors include a Rotary Fellowship in 2006, where Mays studied photography in Cape Town, South Africa while volunteering in a clinic for bead working artisans living with HIV; multiple artist residencies at institutions such as New York’s Penumbra Foundation; and a J. William Fulbright grant 2009-2010 in Chile, where she worked with astronomers who are using the world’s most advanced telescopes to look at the sky. This experience had a profound impact on Mays’ practice as she worked in an abandoned darkroom while interacting with astronomers in the Atacama Desert who approached the telescope as many photographers approach the camera. Reflecting on that experience, Mays has said “That alone was already an isolating experience because the sky feels so immense, so overwhelming that I remember feeling total disbelief that we are able to see anything at all, find anything that we’re looking for.”
Aspen Mays: Approaching Infinite Limits exhibits work from multiple projects created before, during, and after Mays’ experience in Chile that are all components of an overall artistic investigation into the (flawed) human endeavor to understand something as massive and complex as the universe using scientific tools and methods. Works from these projects are placed in direct dialogue with more recent projects grappling with inter-generational change, personal loss, and the problematic relationship between the social expectations of photography to be a factual, historical record and one’s own fragmented, subjective memories. In Tengallon Sunflower, for example, Mays recreates the starburst pattern of a bandana worn by her great-grandmother through a repetitive, laborious process of manipulating photographic paper in the darkroom. Like the Chilean astronomers that endlessly endeavor to understand the universe through a rigorous approach of looking and documenting, Mays repeatedly folded and hole punched the paper in the dark to seek communion with something beyond the frailty of human existence and the obsolescence of memory. Indeed, the meticulous, time-intensive methods Aspen Mays employs, in a way, provide for the viewer an artistic approach to questioning the scientific processes of conducting research through data collection and categorization. In light of science’s inability to answer unanswerable questions, it may very well be the role of art, as seen in Aspen Mays’ work, that humanizes the nature of investigation to make some kind of sense of the world or, at the very least, make us less uncomfortable about remaining in the dark.
Mays work has been exhibited at museums and galleries including Antenna in New Orleans; Casemore Kirkeby in San Francisco; The Center for Photography at Woodstock, New York; Charlie James Gallery in Los Angeles; Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Bentonville, Arkansas; Dusseldorf Photo Weekend in Germany; Galleri Tom Christoffersen in Copenhagen; Golden Gallery in Chicago and New York City; Higher Pictures in New York City; The Houston Center for Photography; Jessica Silverman Gallery in San Francisco; Light Work in Syracuse, New York; Lumiere Brothers Center for Photography in Moscow; The Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago; The Museum of Contemporary Photography in Chicago; Museé des Beaux-Artes in Le Locle, Switzerland; New Mexico Museum of Art in Santa Fe; The New York Center for Book Arts; Paris Photo; and The Pitch Project in Milwaukee.
Her work has been featured in numerous publications including Aperture, Art in America, Art Forum, Art Papers, the Boston Globe, the Huffington Post, Hyperallergic, KQED Arts, the New Yorker, the New York Times, Vogue, the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post, and Whitewall Magazine.
In conjunction with the opening of this exhibition, Aspen Mays will present an illustrated lecture 5:00pm - 6:00pm in the Department of Art & Art History Lecture Hall (room 133) the evening of October 1, 2019, just prior to the opening reception, 6:00pm-7:30pm in the Natalie and James Thompson Art Gallery. Both events are free and open to the public.
We would like to extend our deepest appreciation to Aspen Mays and Higher Pictures for all their efforts to make this exhibition a success. We would also like to thank San José State University (SJSU) Photography faculty Binh Danh, Robin Lasser, and Valerie Mendoza for their suggestions, support, expertise, and guidance from the earliest stages of this exhibition’s conceptualization to the installation of Aspen Mays’ work and the integration of this exhibition’s themes with multiple learning opportunities for SJSU students.

The Wicker Man - 40th Anniversary Edition
Four decades after its release in cinemas in 1973, the unique British cult classic The Wicker Man still holds an enduring fascination for audiences all over the world.
In this 40th anniversary double play edition, the film is presented as The Final Cut, a version which has never before been restored and never before been seen in UK cinemas.
Approved by director Robin Hardy, The Final Cut is the finest and most complete version of The Wicker Man. Featuring brand new extras, this 40th anniversary edition is every Wicker Man fan's perfect ending to a much mythicised search for the most complete version of the film. Having left no stone unturned in the search for the original film materials, the ghosts have now been laid to rest, as we can finally and happily confirm, that this is The Final Cut.

A must have!!!.
I Purchased this in the steelbook form which is excellent. & I got my hands on the 3ple disc 3 versions of the film, soundtrack, & Loads of extras. A cult classic, like good wine just gets better over the years. Truthfully the ultimate edition!.
16/01/17 by This is SPARTA!
Superb and uncanny film, one of the horror genre's most unusual. Excellent disc with three (!) cuts of the film, plus extras. Far better than the American edition in that regard.
13/01/16 by Who Be Dis
StudioCanal have done it yet again, that is turned out a truly collectable set that will amaze any fan of The Wicker Man. We have the Final Cut, which has a lossless track. The video is truly remarkable for a 40 year old movie, the new inserted scenes are of a slight less quality, but not much. But I find that great, that when those scenes appear I know what they are. We also get the Theatrical and Director's Cut on disc 2. There's a wealth of Special Features in this set. And not forgetting the original Soundtrack CD that StudioCanal has also included in this set. The slipcase is well designed too. I'm shocked that Zavvi have priced it so low.

Definitive edition of a classic film.

Excellent -what we've been waiting for
This is how Blu-ray restorations of old films should be. Most people interested in this will have already done some reading up but just to reiterate... it's amazing! This is as good as you've ever seen the film (all 3 versions!). The extras are great and the soundtrack is now on my iPod. Just buy it if you love this film. It really is a benchmark of restoration.

Harry Styles’s new song Sign of the Times is David Bowie via Oasis
“I think it’s hard to not have influences from what you grew up listening to.”
By Anna Leszkiewicz
Follow @@annaleszkie
One Direction and classic rock aren’t often put side-by-side, but they probably should be. As Brodie Lancaster notes in this detailed analysis of the influences behind One Direction’s last album, Made in the AM, the band “slowly established a pattern of picking up inspiration from rock history” as their releases developed. Harry Styles, in particular has made his interest in classic rock clear in everything from his dress sense to his gig choices – and now, with the release of his new single, “Sign of the Times”, it’s more obvious than ever.
“I think it’s hard to not have influences from what you grew up listening [to],” Harry told Nick Grimshaw on Radio 1 this morning, just after the song debuted. “I had a good mix between my mum and my dad, because my dad was into, like, Fleetwood Mac, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, Queen; while my mum was like, Norah Jones and Savage Garden.”
“Sign of the Times” continues in that vein. “He delivered a true spacey rock ballad,” declares Billboard, “something that might fit in more with David Bowie’s catalogue or perhaps even an epic Nineties rock jam like Spacehog’s “In the Meantime” than it does with today’s top 40”.
Yes there’s lots of Bowie in there. And if the lyrics seem familiar – it’s because they are. Obviously, there’s that Prince reference, but there’s more, too. Let’s break it down.
Just stop your crying, it’s a sign of the times
Those first chords sound a lot like Robbie Williams’s “Angels”, but then we get a whooshy noise straight out of "Space Oddity". What an opener. David Bowie’s “Five Years” meets Oasis’s “Stop Crying Your Heart Out”.
Welcome to the final show
Hope you’re wearing your best clothes
I’m in yesterday’s t-shirt, if I’m honest, Harry. This has something of David Bowie’s “Life on Mars” with its doomsday glamour: “He’s in the best-selling show”.
You can’t bribe the door on your way to the sky
Ah, the old “heaven as a nightclub” metaphor. Makes me think of The Stone Roses’s “Breaking Into Heaven” and Alex Turner’s lyric: “It’s like you’re trying to get to heaven in a hurry / And the queue was shorter than you’d thought it would be / And the doorman says, ‘You need to get a wristband’."
You look pretty good down here
But you ain’t really good
Your looks won’t save you come the end of the world, as we know from Lana Del Rey.
We never learn, we been here before
Why are we always stuck and running from the bullet?
The bullet
Why are always stuck and running from your bullet?
Enter falsetto. Finally, the mix of Foster the People and “Heroes” the public have been waiting for. There’s also a hint of Radiohead’s “Daydreaming”.
Just stop your crying, it’s a sign of times
We gotta get away from here
Just stop your crying it will be alright
They told me that the end is near
Just stop your crying, have the time of your life
Breaking through the atmosphere
And things are pretty good from here
Remember everything will be alright
We can meet again somewhere
Somewhere far away from here
“It’s fine, it’s only the apocalypse, darling.” Basically. This is the part that sounds the most Bowie – lyrically, "Watchtower"’s “There must be some kind of way outta here” with the stretched out diphthong of “aways” on Oasis’s “Don’t Go Away” and “Stand By Me”. There’s a Drop of Jupiter in here somewhere, too.
We don’t talk enough
We should open up
Before it’s all too much
Will we ever learn?
We been here before
Its just what we know
Like that “bullet” bridge, there’s an overarching futility here lyrically similar to Bastille’s “Pompeii” and Coldplay’s “We Never Change”.
It’s a dense call-back to rock of decades past, and, to the casual observer, it might seem like a huge departure from Styles's earlier work. But, as culture writer Lancaster notes, it won’t seem as much of a leap to dedicated One Direction fans.
Now listen to a discussion of Harry Styles’ new single on the NS pop culture podcast, SRSLY:

Google profits climb
By Derek Sooman on April 23, 2006, 15:49
No surprises here that Google is doing very well: the company's revenue and net income rose in Q1, largely thanks to increases in the usage of its search engine services and online advertising sales.
Revenue came in at $2.25 billion, a 79 per cent increase compared with 2005's first quarter. Excluding the commissions Google pays to websites in its ad network, revenue was $1.53 billion, exceeding the $1.44 billion consensus expectation from analysts.
Net income reached $592.3 million, or $1.95 per share, up from $369.2 million, or $1.29 per share. On a pro forma basis, which excludes certain one-time items, net income was $697 million, or $2.29 per share, exceeding analysts' consensus $1.97 per share.
Company executives feel that the success has been due to Google's continued investments in its infrastructure and on technology development. An increase in Google's services has meant that more advertisers are drawn to the growing audience the company is able to provide.

This is the Chevrolet Cruze, the firm's new small family saloon, which will make its first appearance at the Paris motorshow on the 2nd October.
The Cruze is the first in a long line of new Chevrolets that will include the Volt electric car, the new Camaro and a small city car based on the Beat concept. The Cruze will be built on Chevrolt's new Delta platform and will take the company in a new design direction with bolder styling cues.
The wrap-around headlights and new two-tier grille are key features of the car's design, and likely to continue across future models. Other important design cues include a crisp rising waistline, compact rear and sweeping front-wing lines that help to make this small saloon one of the best looking in its class.
The newcomer will rival the VW Jetta, Ford Focus and Honda Civic and at 4.6 metres, it's the longest sedan in its class.
The Cruze will go on sale worldwide in 2009. Three engines will be available at launch, producing between 110bhp and 148bhp.
The most popular engine choice is likely to be the 2.0 litre common rail turbo-diesel producing 148bhp, but there will also be 1.6 litre and 1.8 litre petrol engines, producing 110bhp and 138bhp.


Class of Your Own announces school curriculum partnership with Bentley Systems
The Year in Infrastructure 2019 Conference – Class of Your Own, a UK-headquartered provider of STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, math) curriculum and built environment-focused learning programs for secondary school students, has announced a partnership with leading global provider of software solutions for the design, construction, and operations of infrastructure, Bentley Systems. The new, future-focused global curriculum, Design Engineer Construct!® (DEC) for the World’s Infrastructure, has developed over several years through Bentley Institute’s support of Class of Your Own’s DEC programs and provides opportunities for students to gain hands-on knowledge and skills for careers in infrastructure professions.
DEC is currently accredited and used in schools throughout the United Kingdom. The new program is already expanding into schools in Ireland, Lithuania, Thailand, and the United Arab Emirates and offers technology education and project-based, real-world experiences through interaction with industry professionals. The DEC curriculum for students ages 11 to 18 years is offered at intermediate levels to encourage and excite learners and is enhanced by Bentley’s engineering design and 3D modeling technologies including ContextCapture, OpenBuildings, OpenRail, and OpenRoads ConceptStation. The more advanced Future Infrastructure qualification framework, for students ages sixteen and older, including foundation level study at colleges and universities, focuses on rail, highway, port, and hyperloop projects.
Alison Watson, founder and chief executive of Class of Your Own, said, “Our vision is to inspire and engage young people and their teachers to reach their full potential through world class education. So, we’re very excited to partner with Bentley to offer the new curriculum, which applies industry knowledge and skills gained in the existing DEC program to the most exciting infrastructure projects around the world. Our students are provided with face-to-face support from world-class sector professionals thanks to industry partners who truly understand what DEC can do. Expanding the program outside the UK means we can offer genuine, meaningful opportunities for students and teachers around the world. We’re helping the surveyors, technologists, engineers, architects, and managers of future infrastructure!”
Earlier in 2019, Bentley Institute and Class of Your Own hosted the first ever Future Infrastructure Challenge: DEC Hyperloop challenge in London. The event included students from four schools in the UK whose assignment was to conceptualize a design of a hyperloop transport system and stations for their own towns, and then to adapt to Singapore. Students from Drummond Community High School from Edinburgh, Scotland won the challenge, and were awarded a complimentary trip from Bentley to attend its Year in Infrastructure Conference, held October 21 through 24 in Singapore.
David Robertson, director of digital advancement research for Bentley Systems, said, “Our partnership with Class of Your Own demonstrates the two organizations’ shared goal of providing students with valuable learning experiences that apply to real-world infrastructure professions and encourage students to pursue those professions. Bentley is very excited to participate in this important learning initiative to advance career opportunities for students around the world.”

Human Rights and Equality Commission Welcomes Clarity Set Out in Significant Right to Fair Trial Case
Commission Exercised Amicus Curiae Role in Supreme Court Case Holding EU-Wide Significance on European Arrest Warrants
The Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission (the ‘Commission’) has welcomed today’s Supreme Court judgment in an internationally significant case relating to the European Arrest Warrants system and the right to a fair trial.
In its judgment in Artur Celmer v. Minister for Justice and Equality the Supreme Court held that independence of the judiciary forms part of the essence of the fundamental right to a fair trial. The Court further set out that systemic deficiencies in a particular system, where far reaching, could by themselves amount to a sufficient breach of the essence of the right to a fair trial.
However in Mr. Celmer’s case, while the systemic changes in Poland were viewed as serious and grave, they could not themselves be sufficient to cross the threshold of a real risk of breaching his right to a fair trial.
In its ruling the Supreme Court clarified that the recent LM judgment of the Court of the Justice of the EU sets out the relevant tests to be applied in these kinds of extradition cases.
The case was appealed directly from the High Court to the Supreme Court due to its significant public importance. It centres on the requested extradition of Mr. Artur Celmer, a Polish national, to Poland under the European Arrest Warrant system, where concerns have been raised by Mr. Celmer over the impact of recent legislative changes in Poland on the independence of the judiciary, the courts and the Public Prosecutor. These changes, according to Mr. Celmer, undermined the possibility of him receiving a fair trial.
In November 2018, the High Court (Ms. Justice Donnelly) found that Mr. Celmer’s concerns did not amount to a real risk of a flagrant denial of his right to a fair trial in Poland and, on that basis ordered Mr. Celmer’s surrender on each of three European Arrest Warrants. That decision was suspended however pending this appeal to the Supreme Court and so Mr. Celmer had remained in custody in Ireland.
In its role as amicus curiae (friend of the court), the Commission has contributed its expertise on the human rights and equality issues under consideration, particularly the right to a fair trial from an EU law perspective.
Mr. Justice O’Donnell in ruling, stated today; “ …a breach of judicial independence is a breach of the essence of the right to a fair trial.”
He went on further to say “Again while the individual features of this case are undoubtedly troubling, I agree with the trial judge that, in light of the evidence, they do not bring the case over the threshold.”
Mr. Justice McKechnie made separate additional observations, setting out that national courts play a crucial role in the operation of the European Arrest Warrant (EAW) system – “…they are mandated to uphold the integrity of fundamental rights where without any countervailing justification, these are under challenge if not attack.”
Director of the Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission Laurence Bond stated:
“The European Arrest Warrant has become a commonly used mechanism across the EU. The Commission welcomes the clarity set out in today’s Supreme Court’s ruling on the legal test to be applied in the context of extradition proceedings between EU Member States where general and systemic human rights issues arise”
“We expect that this Irish ruling will be studied across Europe in relation to EU extradition law and practice.”

The amicus curiae function of the Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission.
The Commission’s functions under the Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission Act 2014 include that of applying for liberty to appear as an amicus curiae (‘friend of the court’) before the superior courts in proceedings that involve, or are concerned with, the human rights or equality rights of any person.
Section 10 of the Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission Act sets out the functions of the Commission and Section 10(2)(e) provides that the IHREC shall have a function:
“to apply to the High Court or the Supreme Court for liberty to appear before the High Court or the Supreme Court, as the case may be, as amicus curiae in proceedings before that Court that involve or are concerned with the human rights or equality rights of any person and to appear as such an amicus curiae on foot of such liberty being granted (which liberty each of the said courts is hereby empowered to grant in its absolute discretion).”
The Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission is an independent public body, appointed by the President and directly accountable to the Oireachtas. The Commission has a statutory remit set out under the Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission Act (2014) to protect and promote human rights and equality in Ireland, and build a culture of respect for human rights, equality and intercultural understanding in the State.
The Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission is Ireland’s national human rights institution and is recognised as such by the United Nations. The Commission is also Ireland’s national equality body for the purpose of a range of EU anti-discrimination measures.

Review: It was 50 years ago today — The Beatles U.S. reissues on CD Special
By Mindy Peterman Jan 29, 2014 in Entertainment
Fifty years have passed since The Beatles invaded U.S. shores and changed the world. To celebrate, Capitol Records has released versions of the Fab Four's albums which were never before issued on CD.
How many times have you repurchased your Beatles albums? If you grew up in the 60s, you might have had the records either given to you by music savvy relatives or bought with your allowance money. Maybe you replaced those in the 70s and 80s with more pristine copies of the vinyl. Later, with the advent of CDs, you probably shelled out more bucks for the collection on compact disc. But those CDs were not the U.S. versions of the albums. They were the British versions, with different track listings. The early to mid-period British Parlophone albums contained 14 tracks to the U.S. Capitol’s 12 (this was Capitol being cautious of losing fidelity due to “groove cramming”).
So if you were a purist or just longed for the albums the way you remembered them, you might have been disappointed.
In 2004 and 2006, respectively, Capitol attempted to right this wrong by issuing The Capitol Years Volume 1 and Volume 2. These sets contained for the first time on CD, in mono and stereo, eight of the U.S. releases: Meet the Beatles, The Beatles Second Album, Something New, Beatles ’65, The Early Beatles, Beatles VI, Help! The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack, and Rubber Soul. Nice try, Capitol, but, again, the purist had reason to be miffed. Missing were A Hard Day’s Night Original Motion Picture Soundtrack, The Beatles Story, Yesterday and Today, Revolver, and Hey Jude.
Now, in honor of the 50th Anniversary of The Beatles invading America (as well as their subsequent appearances on The Ed Sullivan Show), Capitol Records (actually, it's Universal Records now) has rectified the situation, releasing The U.S. Albums, a 13-CD box set of the U.S. releases. Each CD contains the album in mono and stereo (except for The Beatles Story and Hey Jude, which are stereo only). The set also contains the original Capitol Records inner sleeves, original album art and Obi strips on each release (one more nice touch is the infamous "dead babies" photo placed underneath the ‘trunk’ photo on Yesterday and Today). The collection contains a 64-page booklet with Beatles photos and promotional art of the era, as well as a new essay by American author and television executive Bill Flanagan. The whole shebang is also available on iTunes.
If you can’t see yourself repurchasing the collection yet again, never fear. For a limited time, each title will be made available separately, so you’ll be able to economize and buy only the titles that have never been available on CD before. Either way, it's a grand way to celebrate the Fab Four's contribution to art, music and life.

Finding new markets will ease impact of U.S. protectionism
By Roslyn Kunin on December 5, 2016 Comments Off on Finding new markets will ease impact of U.S. protectionism
As Canada integrates more and more into the global economy, it will matter to us less and less that the United States withdraws
VANCOUVER, B.C. Dec. 5, 2016/ Troy Media/ – One of the reasons the new president-elect in the United States is generating so much nervousness around the globe is the fear that he is not connected to the realities of how the global economic system works.
For example, there is no such thing as a truly American car. Sure, there are cars with traditional U.S. names, but are they American in the sense of having been designed and manufactured in the U.S.?
Take Buick, a typical U.S. car made by General Motors. The largest concentration of Buicks that I have ever seen has been in the cities of China. These cars may have some U.S. components but could well have parts from almost anywhere else in the world. They probably contain some U.S. design elements or they may have been engineered in whole or in part in India. They were not shipped across the Pacific but put together in China where they have an excellent market. How American are they?
Back in the 1950s, American cars were made and largely sold in North America. German cars were made in Germany and Japanese cars were being manufactured in Japan. Now any car, regardless of the name on the grille, can be made anywhere out of parts from anywhere and sold anywhere. What is true of cars is increasingly true of just about all manufacturing.
The British are discovering this in the Brexit era. Their currency, the pound, has dropped. In the old world, this would have made their exports cheaper in the rest of the world and boosted their trade. In today’s connected world, it has stymied much manufacturing because of dependence on imported components which are now more expensive to buy with the lower pound.
In the last century, the U.S. was largely an independent economy, 90 per cent self-sufficient and only 10 per cent involving foreign trade. Now the U.S. is much more tied into the rest of the world. Trump has been advocating serious protectionist measures, like large tariffs on Chinese imports and destroying or drastically changing the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). Putting up such barriers to trade, far from helping the U.S. economy, is going to hobble it.
It is my hope that the realities of governance will intervene. It could be devastating for Canada should NAFTA be eliminated. In Canada, we know we are a trading nation. Roughly 40 per cent of our economy is in the foreign sector of imports and exports and roughly 80 per cent of that trade is with the United States. British Columbia’s trade is somewhat more diverse, but even B.C. relies on the U.S. for half its trade.
More to the story: [popup url=”https://www.troymedia.com/2016/11/15/trump-may-best-thing-happen-canada/” height=”1000″ width=”1200″ scrollbars=”1″]Trump’s isolationism may spur Canadians to pull together[/popup] by Robert McGarvey
Unfortunately, Canada does not have much influence on U.S. policies. Our prime minister has already said that he is amenable to reopening NAFTA, a statement which does not strengthen his bargaining position. But there are measures Canada can take to protect us from being blown over by U.S. protectionism. We can diversify our customer base. No longer should we have almost all our trading eggs in one basket.
Canada has already made one successful move in this direction with CETA, the comprehensive economic and trade agreement between Europe and Canada. Since major, multinational trade agreements involving the U.S. and both Atlantic and Pacific nations are unlikely to proceed, Canada is looking for separate trade agreements with counties like China and Japan. These will expand our markets not only for our resources, but also for high level manufactured goods and services. Demand for these could well grow as the U.S. becomes more difficult to do business with. One such high level service export is international education, which is beginning to see more interest.
As any businessperson knows, diversifying your customer base works. No longer is the whole enterprise put at risk should your main client disappear. After many decades with only one major customer, the lumber industry in British Columbia is beginning to diversify.
Since the great recession, the wood sector in B.C. has been selling about half its product in Asia and other non-U.S. markets. Now, the old softwood lumber agreement with the U.S. is unlikely to be renewed. This hurts, but it is not the lethal blow it would have been in the past. As Canada integrates more and more into the global economy, it will matter to us less and less that the United States withdraws.
