Young Australians are least likely to recognise indicators of abusive behaviours, including incessant texting.
Young Aussies' alarming blindspot
2nd Nov 2018 11:25 AM
CONCERNING new research has highlighted a worrying blindspot for young Australian women.
Though public awareness and discussion of domestic violence has skyrocketed in recent years following a spotlight being shone on the issue by governments and campaigners like Rosie Batty, it seems the message isn't getting through to everyone - particularly those who need it most.
A survey of 1000 Australians showed younger respondents - those aged 18 to 24 - were least likely to recognise examples of domestic violence and abuse.
The survey, commissioned by support provider BaptistCare, showed a majority of young Australians were unable to recognise an example of social abuse as domestic violence, while older women were on the ball.
When given an the example of a man texting his partner incessantly to check up on where she is and who she is with, only 40 per cent of respondents aged 18 - 24 recognised this as an indicator of abuse.
Only 40 per cent of Millennials thought a man incessantly checking his partner to check where she was would be an indicator of abuse.
When it came to those over 65, 80 per cent recognised the example as an indicator of social abuse.
Younger respondents were less likely to recognise indicators of all types of domestic violence they were given examples of, including financial, sexual, spiritual, emotional, verbal and physical abuse.
Controlling all the money and making the woman explain every dollar she spends? A third of those aged 18 - 24 didn't consider this financial abuse, while 86 per cent of those over 65 did.
Telling a woman she is fat, ugly, stupid and no one else would want to be with her? More than a quarter of 18 - 24-year-olds said this was not an example of domestic violence while only 14 per cent of older respondents thought the same.
Of all types of domestic violence, younger women were least likely to recognise the signs of social abuse, and most likely to recognise sexual abuse.
While the recognition of physical violence, given the example of pushing a woman or pulling her hair - was high at 82 per cent, there was still a great disparity with those in higher age brackets, who were all more likely to consider this an example of domestic violence.
The study also found those across all age groups were far more likely to recognise examples of domestic than men, particularly when given examples of economic abuse. Only 67 per cent of men identified examples of economic violence compared with 82 per cent of women.
BaptistCare's general manager of community services Robert Ellis said the research highlighted the urgent need for investment in education for young Australians about healthy relationships, and how to identify and respond to abusive behaviours.
The results indicate a need for education about healthy relationships.
"We know abusive patterns in relationships can start with seemingly minor changes in behaviour and rapidly escalate to more dangerous, sometimes fatal situations," Mr Ellis said.
"In many cases where women have been murdered by their current or former partner, it has been the first time that person exhibited physically violent behaviour, but in retrospect there are often warning signs.
"The partner may have successfully isolated the woman from her friends and family, taken control of her finances, or chipped away at her confidence and self-worth. If we want to end the cycle of violence, younger generations need to be more aware of those early warning signs."
Despite gaps in recognition, Millennials were the most likely to think that tougher laws are needed to combat domestic violence, compared to about a quarter of Baby Boomers.

Not Even Leading Anti-Choice Group Could Help Arizona Defend Its 'Abortion-Reversal' Law
Investigations Science
Mar 22, 2017, 8:26am Sofia Resnick
What the Arizona attorney general's anti-choice-expert-witness fishing episode highlights is that, for many of these so-called expert witnesses, their ideology outweighs their expertise when it comes to the fundamental scientific questions that many abortion-related policies raise.

Arizona needed a medical expert, stat.
For several months, the Grand Canyon State had been fighting a legal challenge against a controversial new abortion law. The law was controversial because it effectively injected pseudoscience into the Arizona Constitution.
In Arizona, when a woman decides to have an abortion, she has to listen to state-directed counseling about the risks of abortion and then wait 24 hours before she can get an abortion. The new law required abortion providers to additionally communicate to patients that, "It may be possible to reverse the effects of a medication abortion if the woman changes her mind, but that time is of the essence."
Rather than credible scientific data, this assertion was based on little more than a collection of anecdotes co-authored by two doctors with ties to the anti-choice movement.
Planned Parenthood Arizona Inc., Desert Star Family Planning, and three individual doctors sued the state, asserting the law violated health-care providers' First Amendment rights, by requiring them to give patients misleading or irrelevant information. Plaintiffs also argued the law violated patients' 14th Amendment rights by requiring them to receive misleading or irrelevant information.
As the lawsuit progressed, the state argued that the abortion-pill-reversal claim was based in sound science. The problem, however, was that the state could not find expert witnesses with the research background and experience to vouch for this medical claim, other than the two authors of the case report: Dr. George Delgado and Dr. Mary Davenport. The state eventually removed Delgado as its legal expert and determined Davenport was also unqualified as an expert witness, as their case study report did not constitute adequate evidence.
That left Arizona with exactly zero experts to verify the "science" behind this new law.
So, the Arizona Attorney General's Office started fishing for experts. Emails obtained by Rewire through a public records request show that staff attorneys reached out to anti-choice political groups to find qualified medical experts to defend the law.
We discovered that several of the experts recommended to the state are known as outspoken anti-choice advocates who use their medical or academic credentials to further discredited or baseless scientific theories into public policy. Some of them are featured in Rewire's newly updated False Witnesses series, which identifies the tight-knit group of anti-choice activists and advocates who have succeeded in putting forth myths and bogus science that have made their way into statute and legal precedent.
In general, many of the False Witnesses' credentials are valid but are often irrelevant to the topics on which they present evidence. Often, a little digging reveals that some of their claims and work have been discredited by peers, as well as by state and federal judges.
Public email records show that in October 2015, Aaron Baer, a former policy adviser to Arizona's attorney general, reached out to the Susan B. Anthony (SBA) List, a lobbying group in Washington, D.C., that works to help elect politicians with anti-choice agendas. The group spearheaded the so-called Pro-Life Court Coalition organized in February to support President Trump's Supreme Court nominee, Judge Neil Gorsuch.
The SBA List forwarded the request to David Prentice, who heads up the research department at the Charlotte Lozier Institute, the self-described education and research arm of the SBA List.
The Charlotte Lozier Institute houses a cabinet of associate scholars who pen papers for the organization on subjects ranging from abortion-funding restrictions to medically assisted suicide. False Witnesses Byron Calhoun, Maureen Condic, Jacqueline Harvey, Donna Harrison, and Michael New are all Charlotte Lozier associate scholars.
Prentice is a professor of molecular genetics. Prior to taking his role as the vice president and research director for the Charlotte Lozier Institute in 2015, Prentice spent the better part of a decade as the senior fellow and director for life sciences at the conservative Family Research Council, lobbying on issues related to stem cell research and cloning.
During the last two years, he has become one of the leading voices advocating a dubious theory that fetuses have the capacity to feel pain before the third trimester.
He has testified in favor of policies that restrict abortion at 20 weeks, even though many scientists who have studied this question say a 20-week-old fetus' nervous system is not developed enough to experience pain. Additionally, members of Congress tapped him to, in their words, "tutor" U.S. House members on issues related to fetal-tissue research, which Prentice not only opposes, but insists is not valuable to medical research—in contradiction to other scientists.
Prentice promised to help the Arizona Attorney General's Office find a qualified steroid biochemist—the relevant expertise required to testify in support of the abortion-reversal law. Specifically, Baer asked Prentice in an October 9, 2015 email to help him find "someone who can discuss the interaction between mifepristone and progesterone." Prentice ultimately informed the office that he couldn't find a steroid biochemist to recommend for their case. He did, however, recommend New and the Family Research Council's Henry Potrykus, both statisticians, who could potentially provide a meta-analysis of available research for the state.
Neither Prentice nor the Arizona Attorney General's Office responded to Rewire's requests for comment.
On October 13, 2015, Prentice wrote to Baer, saying he had contacted two more potential expert witnesses. That day, Dr. John Thorp Jr.'s office reached out to Baer with his curriculum vitae, according to the documents we obtained.
Later, in February 2016, Baer contacted Minnesota law professor Teresa Collett—also featured in Rewire's False Witnesses gallery—again looking for an expert witness in the abortion-reversal lawsuit. Collett, an attorney who sometimes works with the conservative Alliance Defending Freedom on abortion cases, recommended Condic, who agreed to meet with the AG's office. As with New and Thorp, Condic never testified in the case.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, the two doctors who proposed the abortion-reversal protocol on which Arizona based its law do not have backgrounds in steroid biochemistry either.
Delgado is a family practitioner in the San Diego, California, area whose Catholic faith informs his medical practice. Davenport is an OB-GYN based in El Sobrante, California. (Rewire chose to profile Delgado in the updated False Witnesses gallery as he has become the face of the abortion-pill-reversal movement. The Arizona law actually mandated doctors direct patients to his organization, Culture of Life Family Services, for abortion-reversal services.)
Few medical doctors or scientists have vouched for this protocol, which formed the basis of the Arizona law, and those subsequently passed in at least two other states. The protocol involves telling a patient to stop the medication abortion regimen after the first drug and intramuscularly injecting them with high levels of progesterone.
Opponents of Arizona's law objected to the fact that Delgado showed no real evidence to support his theory. They argued that only taking the first abortion drug in the regimen would likely have the same effect as also receiving progesterone injections, whereas Delgado was claiming he could "reverse" abortions. The American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists has denounced Delgado's protocol, arguing that it is not evidence-based and potentially carries health risks.
But upon codifying Delgado's unproven theory as scientific fact, the state inadvertently accepted the onus to show that this theory passed scientific muster, which it ultimately could not do—at least not with Prentice's help.
Arizona lawmakers eventually repealed the law, and a federal judge dismissed the lawsuit challenging it.
However, abortion-pill-reversal laws remain in Arkansas and South Dakota. Similar bills have been introduced in California, Colorado, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, North Carolina, and Utah.

Over 60 percent of Israelis want Trump win: poll
Jerusalem (AFP) –
More than 60 percent of Israelis believe a victory for Donald Trump in the US presidential election would be preferable for the Jewish state, an opinion poll indicated on Monday.
According to the poll, commissioned by the Jerusalem-based think-tank the Israel Democracy Institute (IDI), and released on the eve of the US vote, 63 percent of Israelis, including 70 percent of Jews, think a Trump win is in Israel's interests.
However, only 17 percent of Israelis surveyed said US Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden would be better for Israel, while 20 percent said they did not know.
"Presumably this pronounced preference among the Jewish public for Trump to keep serving stems to a large extent from the assessment that Biden's election would weaken US-Israeli relations, and strengthen the relationship between Washington and the Palestinians," IDI said.
Another poll in mid-October, carried out for the Tel Aviv-based i24 news TV channel, found that 63 percent of Israelis said Trump would be a more pro-Israeli president.
Trump has made several key decisions for the Jewish state during his tenure, including recognising Jerusalem as Israel's capital and Israeli sovereignty in the Syrian Golan Heights.
He has also backed normalisation deals between Israel and Arab nations.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has hailed Trump as Israel's strongest ever ally in the White House.
But opposition leader Yair Lapid on Monday said that whoever wins, "the next president of the United States will be a friend of Israel".
"Both Donald Trump and Joe Biden are friends of Israel, with a deep commitment to Israel and to Zionism," Lapid said in a statement, while adding he had seen hostile "radical voices" growing stronger within the Democratic Party.
Several rabbis, including Haim Druckman, an influential former member of the National Religious Party, have urged US citizens in Israel to vote for Trump.
And on Monday evening around 150 Trump supporters waving US and Israeli flags rallied in the city of Beit Shemesh south of Jerusalem, where many Israeli-Americans live.


With the exception of small pockets of resistance, Taliban fighters have been driven out of Marjah town in Helmand Province, southern Afghanistan, but many local people are struggling to return to some kind of normality and are fearful of the future.
A rapid assessment by the Afghan Red Crescent Society (ARCS) said the conflict in Marjah had left 35 civilians dead, 37 injured, and 55 houses destroyed.
The assessment does not specify which side killed how many civilians.
"It is impossible to measure every war-related misery and impact but we have tried to collect some basic figures about casualties and destruction," Ahmadullah Ahmadi, director of the ARCS office in Helmand, told IRIN.
Before and during the military operation, Marjah residents were promised rapid aid, but some three weeks after the end of the offensive local people say they have yet to receive any meaningful assistance.
"A government assessment team will investigate the damage in Marjah and compensation will be given to the affected people," said Dawood Ahmadi, a spokesman for the governor of Helmand. The process is expected to start in a few days but it is unclear when it might be completed.
People who lost their houses, shops and other property in the fighting urgently need shelter and want to resume normal life quickly.
It is impossible to measure every war-related misery and impact but we have tried to collect some basic figures about casualties and destruction.
"We provide compensation to those who suffer property damage and other losses due to military activity, including within the farming community. We do this as quickly and comprehensively as possible, in consultation with community members," Paul Scott, a UK military public affairs officer, told IRIN. The UK has thousands of troops in Helmand Province.
Quick cash-for-work projects have been launched in Marjah to employ local men and help "clean-up and refurbish" local bazaars, Scott said.
However, efforts to normalize the situation in Marjah have been impeded by fears of improvised explosives which have killed and wounded dozens of people over the past few weeks, according to NATO and government officials.
During their two-year rule in Marjah, Taliban insurgents banned schools, TV and beard-shaving, and allowed farmers to grow opium.
Afghanistan is the world's top opium-producing country and Helmand Province accounted for over 50 percent of the 6,900 tons of opium produced there in 2009, according to a report by the UN Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC). Taliban insurgents make hefty profits from the drugs trade, says UNODC.
The government has vowed to reopen schools, restore civil liberties and enforce the ban on poppy cultivation: "We will eradicate all poppy fields in Marjah because opium cultivation is illegal," Zalmai Afzali, a spokesman of the Counter-Narcotics Ministry (MCN), told IRIN.
But farmers are pleading for a stay of execution: "We ask the government not to eradicate our current poppy fields; in return we promise not to cultivate poppy next year," said local farmer Abdul Ghani.
The farmers say destroying their poppy fields could ruin them, and that the conflict has damaged their livelihoods.
A senior government official, who preferred anonymity, told IRIN the government had unofficially agreed to allow farmers to harvest poppy this year because eradication was deemed too risky. "The government does not say this publicly because it is illegal but no eradication will be conducted in Marjah this season," he said.
Over 4,000 families were displaced by the conflict in Nad Ali District (which includes Marjah) in February. Most have returned to their homes over the past three weeks, according to aid agencies, but there is uncertainty about the future; some are unsure how long NATO and Afghan forces will hold the area.
"We've got a very skeptical population here," said Lawrence Nicholson, a US army general, adding that people were unsure what NATO and the Afghan government would be able to do for them.
"We are in competition every day for the confidence and support of the population. We're in competition with the Taliban," Nicholson was quoted in a 5 March press release as saying.
Meanwhile, the Taliban are not completely defeated in Marjah, according to the provincial authorities.
"The enemy is still present in some pockets," said Helmand spokesman Ahmadi, adding that pro-government forces were working to defeat them completely.
NATO said coalition forces are trying "to take the oxygen away from the insurgents" by separating them from the population - no easy task, according to a NATO statement.


Pick a topic that evokes strong opinions. In football, diving and poor refereeing decisions are ever-green topics for discussion. The history of a club's kit, while informational, is not something that will invite as many comments (unless you tie it in with another element). You don't ALWAYS have to write to invite discussion (informational articles are important and have their own space) but if your main goal is to get comments and start a discussion, pick the right topic.
If you're going to argue all 3 sides of the story, there's not much left for people to discuss. If every possible opinion is explored in your article, then there's less incentive for readers to express their opinion with a comment. Pick one side, or if you want, make a brief case for both sides, and leave the loop open.
Timing is important – discussing something that happened today or yesterday will get more comments than something that happened a week ago. Tie in your discussion topics to current events and trends, and you'll notice an increased response as well.

Q: MVC 5 Real-time SMS with SignalR I am new to web development but I have a project done in VB6, it is a real time send and receive sms application. It uses a GSM modem connected to the server. My company asked me to make a web based version of my application, using ASP.NET MVC.
So I studied MVC about a month ago, created basic CRUD apps, read about SignalR but I don't want to start up a project that I am not confident if its feasible or not. So my question is, is this project possible with the said technology? (MVC, SignalR, and a GSM Modem)
If it is, can you point me somewhere I could start reading for maybe you know a similar project that can guide me through.
And if it is not, can you suggest me the appropriate tech to use for this project to be feasible? (I prefer ASP.NET MVC)
A little detail about the functionality of the project:
Has User Authentication - this user will have a simple "SMS box" type of thing which will update like a chatbox if an SMS is received in the GSM modem and this user can reply and use the GSM to send the SMS back to the sender.
IF anyone could help me, guide me, point me to some reading materials to make this project it would be greatly appreciated. Please post if you need clarifications and further explanation. Thanks!

A: User,
There are many ways to achieve this, so I will explain a method that worked for me a while back doing exactly this.
Based on the information provided, I will assume that you have a windows desktop app, that can already talk to the modem and perform various functions.
Trying to perform that same tasks in a web application can be a hard path to go down, what I opted for was rather simple in my opinion. You really have two separate problems, one is getting the received messages to the web application and the other getting the web application to send messages to the modem.
For handling received messages, I created a simple web api in the web application and defined a post method that is able to receive a sms object. You will need to provide the url for this call to your code that resides in your modem project, which I would convert to a windows service, if it is not already. Then when your code fires when the modem has received a sms, you simply create a object, serialize it to xml or json and then call the post method in your web api. This will give you the chance to use SignalR to notify clients or whatever else you might need to do. This is honestly is the simple part and you have the "real-time" handling ability now for receive.
For sending, there again where many options, I opted for database polling from the code inside the windows service, so when a user wants to reply or send a message, the message gets stored in a table in a database, from where the service code will pick it up and send it, once sent it will mark a field in the table as sent and possibly add a date and time as to when this happened. Again your service code could call another method on your web api, that will notify your app, that a message was sent and again you could notify the end user.
As for database polling, there are various methods, you could simply run some code every minute or some configurable value to see if there are any unsent messages.
You could use SqlDependency and handle the events in real time, you would register an event against the table where messages to be sent will be inserted into and when this happens, your service code will receive a real time event which can be handled.
You could also in the windows service, create a service, even a self hosted web api again, which can be called from your web application when it wants to send an email.
I did various implementations based on client requirements, but for me hosting either a wcf service or web api in the windows service project, proved to be the best in my opinion. You then simply have a configuration section in your web application, and provide the service address, or uri for the post method.
I hope that I have given you enough ideas to get a starting point for your project.

It was a close vote, but Cincinnati City council Wednesday approved a compromise that will allow a project to install protected bike lanes on Central Parkway from Clifton to downtown.
A compromise plan proposed by Vice Mayor David Mann passed on a 5 to 4 vote. It would take the bike lanes out of the travel lanes to maintain street parking between Ravine and Brighton streets to aid businesses in the area.
Mann said he went into Wednesday's meeting not knowing if his compromise would pass or council would scrap the plan altogether. There was an alternative ordinance that would have killed the project that council passed unanimously last year.
Council had to act today to sign a contract with the state to begin the Central Parkway project.
Council member Yvette Simpson voted for the compromise but warned that it might set a precedent for accommodating other businesses owners with parking issues caused by city projects.
In a separate action, council approved a plan proposed by Mayor John Cranley to set aside $1.9 million in unused capital funds to finance various bike trails and Cincy Bike Share, which will rent bicycles to residents beginning this summer.
There will be 300 bicycles available at 35 stations in downtown, Over-the-Rhine and the Uptown area where people can rent and drop off bicycles.
$1.1 million will go to Cincy Bike Share. The group will raise another $1.1 million privately.
Cranley's plan sets aside $200,000 each for four bike trail projects that are still works in progress – the Mill Creek Greenway Trail, the Oasis Corridor Trail that will run from Lunken Airport to downtown, the Wasson Way trail that will connect Xavier University with the Little Miami Bike Trail in Newtown, and the Ohio River Trail West that will run from Lower Price Hill to the Gilday Riverside Playfields in its first phase.
Council member Chris Seelbach raised concerns that council was rushing into Cranley's plan without knowing if it would take money away from other bike-related projects in the city. Cranley said the money is coming from unused capital funds that are not dedicated to any other specific projects.

A University of Utah football player was arrested Thursday after police say he kidnapped and raped a 17-year-old girl.
The alleged victim told police she met Terrell Perriman, a 20-year-old wide receiver for the team, on Instagram and they connected on Snapchat. The girl told police Perriman sent her sexually graphic videos and photos and requested the same from her.
The girl then went to Perriman's apartment on Friday, where he took her into the bedroom and refused to let her leave unless she gave Perriman oral sex, according to the statement.
Terrell Perriman
"The victim stated that she started crying because she wanted to leave and she was scared," a statement of probable cause said. The girl tried to leave the room, and Perriman allegedly stood in front of the door blocking her exit.

Perriman also allegedly took the girl's phone away and held it out of her reach so she couldn't call for help.
The victim said Perriman then pulled down his pants and pulled down the girl's shorts and raped her.
Perriman faces felony charges of kidnapping, rape and enticing a minor and a misdemeanor charge of dealing in material harmful to a minor.
Salt Lake City police Detective Greg Wilking said police have "some indication" there could be more victims and urged individuals to come forward, according to the Salt Lake Tribune. "Often in these kinds of cases, there's not just one victim," he added. "This is behavior that's repeated."
A three-star recruit out of Miami Central High School, Perriman was a 2018 redshirt who played 10 games in 2019.

Op-Ed Peru Press Releases
Humala's Right Hand Turn in Peru
September 2, 2014 May 15, 2017 COHA Lynn Holland, Peru
"We are going to build Peru together… We'll do this whether extremists like it or not."
~ President Ollanta Humala
Dr. Lynn Holland, COHA Senior Research Fellow, Professor at the Josef Korbel School of International Studies (JKSIS) at the University of Denver.
The election of Ollanta Humala as president of Peru in July 2011 set off alarms among his opponents. Humala had campaigned on a platform of left-wing nationalism and indigenous rights, and had opposed the controversial Conga project owned by Yanacocha, an open pit mine in the region of Cajamarca. Majority owned by Newmont Corporation based in Denver, Colorado, the project has been the largest foreign investment project in Peruvian history. Following the election, Humala's detractors were convinced that, as a "socialist" in the mold of Hugo Chávez, he would surely wreck the Peruvian economy. As news of his victory broke, the Peruvian stock market took its greatest single-day plunge in history with the largest decline occurring in mining stocks.
Three years later, Humala's troops now tromp regularly through the streets of Cajamarca in the early hours of the morning, a warning to protestors. What happened?
Exodus of the Left
Soon after inauguration, Humala had taken action on his promises. He signed the law of "Prior Consultation" requiring companies to negotiate agreements with indigenous communities before building mines or oil wells on their lands. The law was a response to social unrest over the adverse effects of mining and energy development – overuse of scarce water supplies, environmental contamination, and the loss of land rights in indigenous communities. Humala also signed several bills to raise taxes and royalties on mining companies and vowed to use the proceeds to build roads, schools, and public services in poor areas.
Soon, however, progressives in his cabinet began exiting. The first sign of trouble came in October 2011 with the abrupt dismissal of Raquel Yrigoyen, president of the Institute for the Development of Indigenous Peoples. Yrigoyen had dared to oppose a concession made to Argentine gas company Pluspetrol that allowed it to operate in a reserve for uncontacted tribal peoples arguing that the action would violate U.N. standards for the protection of isolated indigenous peoples and endanger the lives of those in the reserve. After her dismissal, Pluspetrol moved forward with its plan.[1]
In November 2011, residents of Cajamarca and nearby Celendín, site of the Conga project, began holding rallies and marches to protest the expansion. In hopes of avoiding a mass strike, Prime Minister Salomón Lerner had met with the Regional Council in Cajamarca. Nonetheless, the Council, led by Gregorio Santos, unanimously passed an ordinance declaring the Conga project unsustainable. In addition, the headwaters, which had been slated for destruction, were brought under regional protection.
Humala's next move was to declare a state of emergency in Cajamarca and three other provinces, thereby criminalizing protests and allowing arrests to be made without warrants. As Yanacocha announced the suspension of the project, the military marched in and arrests began to take place. Stunned by this turn of events, Prime Minister Lerner resigned in December 2011. With this, the entire cabinet stepped down as required by law and a thorough purging took place. Over half the cabinet positions were replaced, including the Ministers of Environment, Culture, and Women and Social Development. Referring to Conga, Minister of Environment Ricardo Giesecke later stated, "The people are completely justified."[2] Even the centrist party led by former president Alejandro Toledo, refused to continue in the government. Among those retained was Finance Minister Luis Miguel Castilla, a former World Bank official firmly committed to pro-growth, pro-investor policies.
In spite of the crackdown, protest actions continued through the following year. Thousands of Cajamarcans and others around the country marched to the capital to demand new restrictions on mining. These included a ban on the use of mercury and cyanide in mining, a ban on mining in headwaters, a constitutional right to drinking water, a moratorium on mining concessions, and the ("use" or "application" of the law) of prior consultation.[3] By July 2012, 250 protests regarding oil, water, and mining had been criminalized, a number of movement leaders were arrested, and five lives were lost in clashes with the police. Humala portrayed movement activists as "extremists" who were standing in the way of the country's progress.
In May 2013, the law of Prior Consultation, which had not yet been applied, suffered a blow. An amendment to the law excluded Quechua-speaking people, the most numerous and widespread indigenous group in Peru. In defense of the amendment, Humala stated, "In the highlands, the majority are agrarian communities, the product of the agrarian reform. Overwhelmingly the native communities are in the jungle."[4] The amendment allowed a large number of new concessions to proceed and led to yet another resignation, that of Deputy Minister for Culture Ivan Lanegra, who had been in the midst of compiling the Official Database of Indigenous Peoples when he got the news that his services were no longer needed.
World Bank in the Shadows
How should we explain Humala's turn against prior consultation and the highlanders who helped him get elected? Some blame the left for being too far on the left. "The president believed his leftist allies […] would help him resolve the problem easily," renowned Peruvian analyst Fernando Rospigliosi observed. "Not only did they not do so, but they torpedoed him from within the government."[5] Others say that it was a mistake to take Humala as a progressive. They point to his preference for military advisors and accusations of human rights abuses during his involvement in past conflicts as an army commander as evidence of longstanding authoritarian tendencies.[6]
Also of interest is the role of the World Bank. In 2009, Vice President for Latin America, Pamela Cox, had taken note of Peru's steady economic growth due to its "diversified markets and stronger ties to Asian economies." As such, Peru, like Brazil, had joined the "investment grade" club of countries.[7] On October 25, 2011, just two days before top indigenous rights official Raquel Yrigoyen was sacked, the World Bank announced an agreement to extend a rather sizable $3 billion loan to Peru.[8]
Cox and other officials were fully aware of the high levels of social conflict surrounding the natural resources sector. Only the year before, Cox had contributed to a report noting that, "Peru is prone to social conflicts with indigenous people, especially in communities affected by concessions (extractive industries)." However, the problem with these conflicts was that they could "delay" project implementation.[9]
Evidently officials had been watching to determine whether Humala would commit to suppressing social conflict in the interest of the "competitiveness" of mining. In announcing the loan, Cox congratulated the Peruvian government for a shift in tone about economic development. "This is a vote of confidence in the sense that Peru's macro-fundamentals are very strong," although she warned, "the loan amount could be altered if Peru's macro-economic position were to deteriorate…" Drawing on the example of Brazil, Cox pointed the way: "Lula proved to be one of the most successful presidents in Brazil [….] Let's hope President Humala does that."[10]
Many "refugees" of Humala's administration have since joined the movement for prior consultation and environmental regulation. Raquel Yrigoyen, former head of the Indigenous Peoples Institute, continues her work on behalf of indigenous community rights as a lawyer. Ricardo Giesecke, former Minister of Environment, now works for the development of sustainable extractive industries. Jose de Echave is dedicated to sustainable development and is often seen at movement forums.
Ivan Lanegra, former Vice Minister for Intercultural Affairs continues to speak out about the need for prior consultation for all indigenous communities. Former Prime Minister Salomón Lerner now works with Citizens for Change, a broad-based progressive party. As he put it, "my job is to help form young leaders and work toward something we're losing, which is consensus in Peru."[11]
Finally, we come to Cajamarca's regional president, Gregorio Santos, who had opposed the Conga expansion. Santos was sentenced to fourteen months in jail for alleged corruption several weeks before the regional elections. He has since led a lively reelection campaign from jail using Facebook.
And so the divide between right and left in Peru grows wider.

What the Average American Will Get Out of the Just Agreed Upon $900 Billion COVID-19 Money Giveaway
Nancy Pelosi and Mitch McConnell
UPDATE BELOW
Congressional leaders have reached a deal on a roughly $900 billion spending package under the cover of a COVID-19 "rescue" package.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, wearing yet another COVID-19 color co-ordinated mask, and Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer announced the accord Sunday. The legislative text was still being written, but the House was expected to vote on it Monday, followed by the Senate.
Keep in mind the Treasury does not have the cash for such a package and a good chunk of it will be monetized by the Federal Reserve, that is the Fed will print the money out of thin air.
The plan would provide direct payments of $600 to most Americans and $300-per-week in enhanced unemployment benefits through March, according to lawmakers and aides, Bloomberg reports. Expiring programs for gig workers and the long-term unemployed also would continue.
There would also be $284 billion for the Paycheck Protection Program that provides forgivable loans to small businesses. The package includes money for transportation -- including for airlines -- vaccine distribution, schools and universities, and food aid.
The relief plan will be attached to a $1.4 trillion bill that would fund the federal government through the end of the fiscal year on Sept. 30, 2021.
But don't think this is the end of the Great Money Pump.
McConnell has said he expects another relief proposal from Joe Biden
Biden last week called the emerging deal an "important down payment on what's going to have to be done at the end of January, the beginning of February."
So the average American in addition to getting $600 per month will likely face roaring price inflation in 2021.
Hug your gold coins.
Individuals including children will receive $600 in direct payments. A family of four could end up with $2,400. The payments decrease for people who made more than $75,000 during 2019. They would phase out completely for people who made above $99,000 that year.

$600 Dollars? That's like a meal these sicko hypocrites have in their little private cafeteria the French Laundry. Of course just like that meal the $600 dollars and the rest of this boondoggle is another IOU from our broken backs.

That's from an image that showed up on a Google Search for that place, from 2008. Wonder what the "inflation" rate has been since then. And the tax rate change.


A compact water purifier ideal for travel. When you immerse the lamp in water, shortwave ultraviolet light disrupts the DNA of bacteria, viruses, and protozoa, rendering them harmless.
SteriPen is intended for, and is most effective with, clear water. It has also been shown to reduce microbial contamination in mildly turbid water, but you should consider an alternate purification system any time you expect to encounter turbidity. If you do use SteriPen in turbid water, please follow all package instructions very carefully.
Treatment of .5L takes approximately 45 seconds and 1.0L takes approximately 90 seconds.
Lamp life is approximately 8,000 treatments.
Requires two CR123 lithium batteries (not included).
Manufacturer's tests indicate that disposable CR123 will treat approximately 50L of water, while 750 mAh rechargeables will treat approximately 25L.
Weight is 105g including batteries.
Note: colder ambient temperatures will reduce the number of doses per battery charge. In cold conditions warm SteriPen to above 0°C before using, and store batteries in a pocket or other warm location.


Because of the Wix SEO Hero competition where they've put $50,000 on the line, I decided to check out their platform. They've had many issues in the past but I wanted to give them a fair chance so here's what I found. Working with their editor is a pain, it's extremely slow to load and failed to load on me several times.
All good here, you can customize them.
As with titles you can customize them.
They have a place to edit, but even though I set image name and alt attribute, I ended up with blank alt text and an image name that did not include the name I gave it, so I give them a fail here.
It looks like I can't get access to analytics without upgrading.
Wix used to have a problem where all pages canonicaled to the homepage. In fact, this made Wix drop out of the Google index last year. It looks like their solution was simply to remove the canonical and now there is no way to set a canonical in Wix. Be sure to check out and vote for the feature request.
It looks like you can setup some basic page > page redirects, but what was interesting was a crawl of my brand new website showed some of the pages were already redirecting! I also saw some documentation that you needed a subscription, but that might just unlock some more features.
Another problem uncovered with the crawl was lots of duplicated pages related to tag and archive pages.
My crawl showed issues with multiple h1 tags, missing h1s, wrong h1s. These can be edited individually but the styling on mine seems to have tags h2-h6 as larger than h1.
There is a selection to hide page from search results which adds a noindex tag.
Yes, you get what you pay for and there are ads on the free version.
Wix had a tool to check your SEO. It's incredibly basic and covers title, description, page content (to make sure the keyword is there), image name, text quantity, unique titles, unique descriptions. Not impressed.
Wix does not support HTTPS and therefore would not have support for HTTP/2 either.
If you want to extend support to other tools like GTM, Optimizely, or Hotjar, you may run into issues. You can't add the scripts in the header, however it looks like you can in the body with an html code element.
Here, Wix has very limited support. They're only available in Editor and not ADI.
Not bad. Google PageSpeed Insights had a 57/100 on Mobile and 78/100 on Desktop. Webpagetest.org showed 2.613s Load Time, 0.188s TTFB, Fully Loaded 7.483s and lots of JS files being loaded.
If you plan to do internationalization I'd stay away. Wix doesn't support hreflang, which is interesting because the page that announced the SEO Hero contest had hreflang tags.
Things Wix has said about SEO that are Wrong!
Wix must be spending too much time on Black Hat World. They think that social media boosts SEO, mentioned in 5 Easy SEO Tips to Boost Your Site in Under an Hour. For those keeping score, that's 2 out of 5 wrong. Googlers end up addressing this one every few months, and have since at least 2014 and every time the answer is no, yet Wix somehow believes the answer is yes.
Did you know that your Facebook page has an impact on how you rank on Google? In fact, being present (and active) on any social media site, from Twitter and Instagram to Facebook and (of course) Google+ is an essential part of boosting your SEO.
When you create your website, make sure to include prominent icons for each of your social networks, linking directly to your profile on each site. You also want to make it easy for your visitors to share the content on your site. As users share your content, traffic to your website will increase and, wouldn't you know it, Google will take notice! Sites that generate a lot of social activity will come up more frequently in searches.
Also see 12 SEO Boosts for your Wix Website and SEO For Beginners: How To Nail Your New Website's Search Engine Status. They really like to push social media.
Another easy way to link external sites to your website and increase your SEO ranking is to keep up with social media pages for your business. Social media sites are some of the first pages to pop up when someone Google's your business name, so linking them to your website is of top priority.
In fact, a website may rank higher when it's associated with an active account on a social network. So open up a profile, link to it on your website, connect with your customers and post [relevant content] as often as possible.
In Wix's guide to choosing the right domain name they recommend choosing an exact match domain, in fact they claim you will rank higher in the search results. As far back as 2012 Google ran an algorithm that's specific purpose was to nerf the effectiveness of exact match domains. More recently, Google Webmaster Trends Analyst Gary Illyes has been looking for examples of spammy EMDs in what is likely an effort to take another crack at them.
A final tip for choosing the right domain name: You will rank higher in searches when you choose an Exact Match Domain or a Partial Match Domain.
I've even written about this before on Search Engine Land, The myth of the duplicate content penalty. That hasn't stopped Wix from proclaiming you can be penalized for duplicate content in this article. Even if they believed this, I wrote previously about an email I got about the "custom" content from the Wix ADI that was in fact duplicated across 200+ websites, so why do this if they know it's bad?
Be aware that if the same content is being used in other websites, search engines will recognize this as duplicate content. As a result, your site may be penalized for duplicate content.
Okay folks, there is a patent around content freshness, but there's also one around older content. Read them, in particular Query Deserves Freshness has been misconstrued to where people think you should update your website every day. In fact, some queries like news prefer fresh content, others like say historical events might prefer older content. You don't have to try and game and repost blogs or update a few words here or there or make a certain number of edits to your content over time. Wix seems to think think you should update your website often and recommends doing it.
It is also important to update your site content frequently. One easy way to do this, is by having a blog on your site and creating new blog posts on a regular basis.
Pick a number, any number. Higher sounds better of course and people attribute length to quality when it comes to content. Wix recommends 250-400 words but those are just made up numbers with no basis in facts. It all depends on the question you are trying to answer. If someone wants to know how old Barrack Obama, that query can be answered with ONE number, 55. Seriously folks, length does not equal quality. If you want to see what makes quality content, go read my post on SEL What is quality content?
It is recommended that each of your site pages contain at least about 250-400 words.
While not technically incorrect, there are no warnings in the article Optimizing Anchor Text about over-optimization of anchor text. Instead, Wix blindly recommends you use keywords in your links. This is a dangerous mentality and I'd argue most of your links should be branded over keyword rich.
This is their claim in the contest but also in their latest blog post 10 Reasons Why Wix SEO Is The Best. Sorry Wix, you should read through my notes on Wix SEO. I'll just go ahead and say they expanded this into the second fact about Wix having "mastered the art of getting your site to show up at the top of search results by providing everything you need to get found online – the platform, tools and analytics".
Fact number 1: Wix has the best SEO.
While I'm not completely sure on this, Wix seems to imply that you should be using the meta keywords tag for better SEO. It's part of their platform and listed under their "SEO meta tags".
Okay, this one isn't really about anything they said, but they have a whole page dedicated to internationalization while they don't support hreflang tagging, which is the only way to properly specify alternate language versions of a website to Google. I noted this in my review of Wix's SEO.
Yep, if you're a free user then your external links are probably nofollowed by default in Wix. Read more here.
You tell me, the below is from SEO For Beginners: How To Nail Your New Website's Search Engine Status.
I think not Wix! The Secrets Behind Using SEO to Market your Business.
Look for bloggers in your niche who can mention your business and toss you a link in their posts.
Wix seems to think Schema tagging effects SEO?
In Myth Busting: 9 Interesting Facts About Wix SEO, Wix's #2 is about schema as if it has some effect on rankings, but it doesn't.
You'll be pleased to hear that we add schema.org tags to describe and categorize the products in your online store. Some of the categories include, but are not limited to: price, availability, product name, etc. so you're in safe hands.
Google has an "SEO Score"?
Google recently announced that they're giving a higher SEO score to sites that are mobile optimized.
If you want those links to boost your SEO (and not harm you!) they MUST be from sites related to what you do.
Sorry to disappoint you Wix, but all Wikipedia links have the nofollow attribute. This literally means that the votes, as Wix puts it, do not count for your website. This attribute prevents the passing of PageRank to another website, making your friends blog in this case more likely to influence your rankings than that Wikipedia link. See http://www.wix.com/blog/2017/01/what-is-backlinking-and-why-is-it-important-for-seo/.
Google, Bing and others give far greater weight to links coming from websites that are reliable and popular. A link from Wikipedia or The New York Times, for example, will do far more for your site's credibility than a link from your best friend's blog.
Wix used this as one of their SEO Hero tips as well, but by itself and for someone new the tip is dangerous. They say that you should add keywords in your anchor text. This should come with a caveat that an achor text profile that is too keyword rich could have a negative impact on your rankings. See http://www.wix.com/blog/2017/01/what-is-backlinking-and-why-is-it-important-for-seo/.
If possible, you want any anchor text that links to your site to include your target keywords. This way, Google understands that there is a relationship between those words and your website. It's better to have anchor text placed on a phrase like "best Thai restaurant" or "how to build a website" than on words like "read here" or "check out this blog."
Wix indicates that getting links from these domains will be better than links from other domains because they're more trusted. This simply isn't true and comparing apples to apples, these domains vs another are not weighted any differently or treated any differently for SEO by Google. They've said this over and over again, yet this SEO myth still manages to persist. See their comments at http://www.wix.com/blog/2017/01/what-is-backlinking-and-why-is-it-important-for-seo/.
If you can get a link from a university or government website, that's a big plus. Search engines tend to trust and respect sites that end in .gov, .edu or .org (used for nonprofits).
What is this? This simply isn't true. It doesn't matter when you got the links and Google won't magically move your website down if you don't have any recent links. See their comments at http://www.wix.com/blog/2017/01/what-is-backlinking-and-why-is-it-important-for-seo/.
You also want to keep your links fresh. Google stays on top of things so it's important to add new links every few months to let search engines know your site still matters.
Natural links have the strongest impact on boosting your site.
Google says don't do it, Wix says do it. Matt Cutts even said Guest blogging is dead. I'd say there's a lot of room for discussion here and it's not so cut and dry. If you're doing it specifically for links though as Wix suggests, it likely is that cut and dry just not in your favor. See http://www.wix.com/blog/2017/01/what-is-backlinking-and-why-is-it-important-for-seo/.
Email the webmaster of the target website and offer to write a guest blog on their site. Make it clear that you are familiar with their site! Keep the email brief, but be sure to explain your area of expertise, share a sample of your writing and pitch a few topics that will be relevant to their readers. If the idea is interesting enough, the webmaster will probably be happy to have you write a guest blog. Then, be sure they agree to include a link in the post back to your own website.
That's called bribery and it's basically the same as paying for links. Yeah, Google says not to do that as well. In fact they specify that you should nofollow the links. See http://www.wix.com/blog/2017/01/what-is-backlinking-and-why-is-it-important-for-seo/.
Another option is to invite bloggers to review your product or services. Offer a free class at your yoga studio, a pint of your hand-churned ice cream or a cut and blow dry at your salon. In exchange, they should agree to write an online review of your business that includes a link to your site. Another great way to entice a blogger to write about you is to offer their readers a coupon to use for your products or services.

1 The Accounting Equation
The most fundamental part of accounting is the Accounting Equation: A = L + OE. We'll go over what it is, why it matters, and even touch a little bit on Double Entry Accounting.
2 Assets vs Liabilities
Here we tackle the first two parts of the Accounting Equation: Assets and Liabilities. What do those words actually mean? How are they the same? How are they different? We'll find out!
3 Shareholder's Equity
Shareholder's Equity, or Owner's Equity, is the third pary of the Accounting Equation. It's made up of two different components, and we'll look at both of them.
4 The Balance Sheet
The Balance Sheet is a financial statement used to show a company's assets, liabilities, and equities at a single point in time. It is, most literally, the accounting equation.
5 The Statement of Retained Earnings
The Statement of Retained Earnings show how a companies Retained Earnings has changed over the year. We'll talk about what Retained Earnings is and how the statment of RE works.
6 The Income Statement
The Income Statement is pretty straightforward, which makes me think that you're going to love it. Revenues and Expenses, that's pretty much it.
7 The Statement of Cash Flows
The Statement of Cash Flows is broken up into a few differenct sections, but it's basically just a statement describing how our cash position changed over the year.

For your betta, try soaking pellets in garlic juice for 10 minutes beforehand feeding. This will make the food softer and make it smell good.
Also, try feeding the snail food an hour after lights off for the tank.

Fun fact: I'm a perfume lover. I own a good thirty bottles of perfume and have another fifty or so samples from houses (mainstream and niche) the world across. Sure, I started with a bottle of Acqua di Giò (what guy hasn't?), but my perfume journey has taken me to wild and fanciful places. Now Bertrand Duchaufour, Christopher Seldrake, Jean-Claude Ellena and Francis Kurkdjian are among my favourite noses, and I am beginning to explore the domain of niche perfumery.
Here's the thing: perfume is an intensely personal experience. I love Black Aoud; my mom hates it. When I wear Sycomore, my dad wrinkles his nose. My friends refuse to sit next to me when I put on Encre Noire. I wear perfume for myself because I've grown to love the scents and the associations I've made with them. Clearly, however, not everyone has the same taste. In fact, judging from the list of perennial bestsellers—think Acqua di Giò, Bleu de Chanel, Light Blue—it seems that most people have unadventurous taste. It all goes to show that no two people are exactly alike when it comes to perfume.
So why should we listen to Luca Turin and Tania Sanchez? Aren't their opinions just that—opinions? That's true, but theirs are a hell of a lot more informed than the average human's. Luca Turin is a biophysicist whose work in olfaction has been incredibly influential; Tania Sanchez is a well-respected perfume writer and blogger. These two live and breathe (heh) perfume. They're practically the patron saints of the stuff, and their work here doesn't disappoint.
Perfumes: The Guide is essentially a collection of alphabetized perfume reviews. Some are poetic, some are more than a little acerbic (their review of cK In2 U His reads only "IM IN YR BOTTLE, BORIN YR GF"—perfection!), many are riotously funny, and all are impeccably written. Turin and Sanchez have a real way with words; it's immediately apparent that they're not some two-bit bloggers selling their hack writing for thirty bucks.
That's not to say their opinions are always trustworthy. On the contrary—Turin and Sanchez (who are married, by the way) dump on Creed throughout the book, which I find absolutely lamentable. Creed Aventus is one of my favourite fragrances, and if there really is such thing as a chick magnet, I think Aventus is a serious contender for the title. Furthermore, the authors sometimes accord too much praise to boring, stodgy fragrances. The highest-rated perfumes are often things I would never wear, like Chanel No. 5 and the like. You can't blame Turin and Sanchez for admiring the Old World of perfumery, but a little more adventurousness now and then might be appreciated.
Perfumes: The Guide is a valuable resource if you're looking to explore the world of perfumes but don't have a thousand dollars to drop on full bottles right away. If nothing else, it's worth reading for the hilarious put-downs.
