The Voice is not Dutton's fight - but he needs to tread warily
The opposition leader doesn't need to support the Voice but nor should he actively oppose it. He's been on the wrong side of history before.
Phillip CooreyPolitical editor
Dec 1, 2022 – 8.00pm
On the cusp of his 2007 election defeat, John Howard had an epiphany of sorts over his long and controversial approach to Indigenous affairs.
In a speech to the Sydney Institute, Howard reversed a decade of opposition to symbolic gestures towards Indigenous Australians by promising that, if re-elected, he would hold a referendum within 18 months to incorporate a "statement of reconciliation" into the preamble of the Constitution.

It would recognise the history of Indigenous people as the land's first inhabitants, their culture and heritage, and "their special, though not separate, place within a reconciled, indivisible nation".
"We are not a federation of tribes," he said. "We are one great tribe: one Australia."
Even with the caveats, it was a stunning reversal for a man who over the years had rejected symbolism for what he called "practical reconciliation".
Howard had, for example, opposed calls for an apology to the stolen generations, rejected on numerical grounds the notion there was technically "a stolen generation", shunned the 2000 reconciliation walk across the Sydney Harbour Bridge, and criticised proponents of symbolic gestures as beholden to a "black armband view of history".
Response to Rudd's apology
But in October 2007, Howard said he now realised symbolism and practical measures were not mutually exclusive.
"The challenge I have faced around Indigenous identity politics is in part an artefact of who I am and the time in which I grew up," he said.
"I recognise now that, though emotionally committed to the goal, I was mistaken in believing that it could be achieved in a form I truly believed in."
He stopped short, however, of changing his mind over an apology.
Whether Howard's epiphany – or "deathbed conversion" as The Sydney Morning Herald's Peter Hartcher called it – was fair dinkum was never tested, because six weeks later Howard was out of office.
Not long after, the man who vanquished him, Kevin Rudd, delivered a historic apology to the stolen generations. Apart from the miserable contribution by then Liberal leader Brendan Nelson, it was a signature moment in the nation's history and no one got hurt.
One of the few to boycott the apology was Liberal frontbencher Peter Dutton, a former policeman who had witnessed at first hand the violence and social deprivation in Indigenous communities. He felt the apology to be meaningless symbolism that would do nothing to fix what he had experienced.
While Albanese would do well to get out the detail, Dutton, in contrast to the junior Coalition partner, has displayed admirable restraint.
Dutton, now the opposition leader, long ago conceded his boycott was a mistake. Now, he faces a new and more significant test in guiding the Liberal Party's response to next year's referendum on an Indigenous Voice to parliament.
Anthony Albanese, who argues there can be no change without risk, is staking an enormous amount of personal capital on achieving a Yes vote. The referendum will take place in the spring of 2023 – and from when the political year resumes in late January, it will be a particularly strong focus of the government.
This week's decision by the Nationals to oppose the Voice was premature and without logic. Even if that were the position the party always intended to arrive at, it should at least have waited until Albanese unveiled the final proposal, and any detail, to give credence to the decision.
In justifying the decision, the party reverted to the pre-Howard epiphany logic that symbolism and practical measures were a binary choice. Leader David Littleproud dismissed the Voice as symbolism that "won't shift the dial" on closing the gap.
This is claptrap. The Voice can be both.
Albanese has already begun arguing for the Voice on the basis that it is not only a decent thing to do in terms of recognising the special status of the nation's first inhabitants, but that it has a practical application in that those closest to the ground may just be best-placed to provide policy advice.
It will be, he assured, subservient to parliament, to head off those who still claim it will somehow infringe on the sovereignty of parliament.
While Albanese would do well to get out the detail sooner rather than later, Dutton, in stark contrast to the junior Coalition partner, has displayed admirable restraint.
Before the election, the Liberal Party opposed the concept of the Voice. Under Dutton's leadership, it has an open mind, underscored by his appointment of the pro-Voice Julian Leeser as shadow attorney-general.
Wriggle room for Liberals
After the Nationals moved, Dutton held firm, saying the Liberal Party would stick by its position to decide when the details were finalised.
Senate opposition leader Simon Birmingham noted rather cryptically of the Nationals that the Liberals would stay in the tent and help shape the Voice rather than "let the government off the hook".
At the same time, the Liberals are giving themselves wriggle room. Their questions in parliament this week about whether there should be a royal commission into child sex abuse in Alice Springs, and the social effects in Ceduna of removing the cashless debit card, were a subtle reversion to the symbolic versus the practical.
Implicitly, the party was questioning what good the Voice would be when such real problems existed in Aboriginal communities.
As part of their deliberations, the Liberals cannot dismiss the party's shocking result in Saturday's Victorian election, which followed the state's rejection of the party at the May federal election.
Labor is polling extensively on the Voice and says the response is overwhelmingly positive in the teal seats the Liberals need to win back, and among progressives more generally.
For some reason no one can quite explain, other than perhaps small sample sizes, it's also very popular in Tasmania.
Ultimately, the Voice is neither Dutton's issue nor his fight. He doesn't need to overtly support it, but nor should he actively oppose it. He's been on the wrong side of history before.
Views within his ranks are diverse. He has the option, as Howard allowed during the 1999 republic referendum, of not adopting a position and allowing MPs to campaign if and how they choose. So long as they keep it civil among themselves.
Andrew Bragg, a pro-Voice Liberal senator, made this very point on Thursday. "The Liberal Party has a strong tradition of allowing people to participate in public votes in order to express their own views, be it a yes or a no, on things like the republic in the past, and also on the same-sex marriage postal survey," he said.
"So I think we can adopt a Liberal approach here whereby people can have their say in accordance with their own conscience and views."
After all, the Voice will be decided by the people, not the politicians.

Ross Ulbricht Denied Post-Conviction Relief Extension
The man convicted of creating the Silk Road marketplace, Ross Ulbricht, has lost yet another appeal to extend his "post-conviction relief." Judge Katherine Forrest, the judge who sentenced Ulbricht to a double life sentence in 2015, denied the legal team's attempt to renew the case even if additional circumstantial evidence is found in the future.
The Judge Who Sentenced Ross Ulbricht Throws Down the Hammer Once Again
This month the Judge who handed down two-lifetime prison sentences to Ross Ulbricht denied yet another appeal from within this ongoing court battle. Ulbricht was convicted in February 2015 for creating and running the underground online marketplace the Silk Road from 2011 to 2013. He is currently serving a double life sentence without the chance of parole for money laundering, conspiracy, computer hacking, and narcotics traffic. Over the past few years, Ulbricht's family members and his legal team have been trying to appeal the sentence with many attempts to re-open the case. The last undertaking took place last year in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, and the panel of Judges denied the appeal.
Motion Denied
Now, according to court documents obtained by the Ars Technica columnist Cyrus Farivar, three years later Judge Katherine Forrest is throwing her judgment down again towards the convicted Silk Road creator. Ulbricht's new lawyer, Paul Grant, tried to extend the fixed three year period with a motion called "Rule 33." This means that when Ulbricht was sentenced three years ago, there would be a period of time that could be extended if circumstantial evidence was found.
"The motion to extend time for a Rule 33 motion is DENIED," Judge Forrest explains in her recent notes. "A Rule 33 motion is not an opportunity to relitigate that which has been litigated, or to engage in a fishing expedition for new evidence."
The Court appreciates that Mr. Grant was not involved in the trial, but the transcript reveals that the very evidence to which he now points (that the FBI was monitoring the defendant's online movements) was explicitly known at the trial.
Petitioning the Highest Court System
The denial is not Ulbricht's last chance as he still has a petition with the Supreme Court that was filed late last year. Justices from the high court will hear a response from federal prosecutors in a few weeks, and they will deliberate on whether or not the case should be renewed. The Petition for Writ of Certiorari is asking the Supreme court Justices to "review and reconsider the lower courts' decisions, based on constitutional violations in the investigation and at sentencing."
On February 5, 2018, twenty-one organizations recorded five amicus briefs endorsing the Supreme Court petition. Groups in the amicus briefs include the American Black Cross, the Downsize DC Foundation, the Law Enforcement Action Partnership, the Drug Policy Alliance, the Cato Institute and more.
What do you think about Judge Forrest's decision to deny Ross Ulbricht an extension? Let us know what you think in the comments below.

PremiumCoding is a group of theme developers who provide their own motif club full of more than two dozen WordPress topics in a variety of different classes. They offer a mixture of premium and free motifs as well as a wide range of unique approaches to pay for premium themes.
We're going to have a peek at the company's theme collection in this review as well as analyze their overall pricing scheme. Let's begin.
PremiumCoding was founded in 2010 because of two-man operation designing, construction and uploading topics to ThemeForest on the Envato Market. They launched their own theme club in 2015 and have not looked back since. These days, the company has over 25 WordPress themes, eight team members and over 28,500 customers.
PremiumCoding focuses heavily on site themes. All of their topics have blogging capabilities, and they even offer a dozen themes designed especially for professional and individual sites. Let us take a look at some.
Camila is a premium blogging motif constructed for creatives, but it can be utilized as a magazine theme for content-heavy websites. It employs a minimalist design that really places the focus on your articles, especially your images. It is a great option for bloggers who wish to showcase their own graphics, such as traveling, beauty, fashion and lifestyle bloggers.
Hayes is a superior blogging theme intended for photographers and travel bloggers. It comes with multiple homepage variations and even allows you to create your own layouts through the use of blocks. These blocks include Featured Posts, Upper Header, About Us, Revolution Slider and Instagram Feed. Additionally, it utilizes a simple, minimalist design.
PremiumCoding offers several free WordPress themes, which act as"lite" versions for some of its premium topics. These are stripped-down versions of their premium themes, but they still offer a significant bit of features. They are more or less designed to give you a taste of the respective premium topics. The developer offers six free topics, as of April 2016.
This is Everly Lite, the free version of the premium blogging motif Everly. It is going to still allow you to build a full site capable of showcasing your latest posts if you are a blogger and images if you're a photographer. It simply excludes the capability to use the Revolution Slider and alter colors.
PremiumCoding concentrates on blogging themes, but it does offer additional theme categories too. Included in these are, as stated previously, portfolio themes, e-commerce topics, and business topics. It supplies a great selection of portfolio topics and a couple of business themes so far as amounts go, but its own e-commerce theme set is a tiny light.
This is LandScape. It's technically a portfolio theme for photographers, but it's enough homepage demos and flexibility to be used as a different blogging motif. It uses a minimalist design that really makes your picture stand out.
Presenter is a business motif for entrepreneurs. It uses a homepage which comes with a massive header finish with a call to action and an email opt-in form. You can also utilize calls to action throughout the page in addition to display customer testimonials, your latest blog posts and a slider featuring logos of those brands you work with/publications you've been showcased in, etc..
Marketeer is a distinctive sort of e-commerce motif. It's four-page layouts, and it lets you utilize the ability of content promotion by incorporating different layouts for blogs. It utilizes a clean design overall, giving you great way to promote your products.
PremiumCoding is a subject club, so there are several different ways that you can cover and gain access to its themes. Aside from using a free motif, you can buy a single theme, buy a one-year membership permit or buy a lifetime membership license.
Whichever license type you purchase, the basic advantages are more or less the same. You will have access to upgrades and support for so long as your membership is active, and you may use the subject on an unlimited number of domain names. The attributes change depending on which license type you go with.
Buying a single-theme license simply provides you with access to this specific theme. If you join the theme bar, you will have access to PremiumCoding's 27+ theme set in addition to any extra topics the programmer releases during your time as a participant (the developer releases a new theme every five to six weeks). You will also have access to PSD files for themes that utilize them.
The only disadvantage you may encounter as a developer looking for a new theme club to utilize as a source for your business is the developer's limited source of e-commerce themes. If most of your customers need sites, portfolios and conventional small business sites, but this programmer would make a excellent resource for your company.


Flash, Flex and ActionScript: Flex Builder on Linux! Rejoice!
Flex Builder on Linux! Rejoice!
Then Adobe declared that they are skipping Flash Player 8 for Linux and going for version 9 directly (it was called 8.5 for sometime). People were extremely unhappy and quite skeptical about this move.
The official story is that this release is supported only on SuSE, RedHat and Ubuntu flavors of Linux. I installed mine on Fedora and it works perfectly fine! I also copied over an existing project from my Windows machine over and opened it with it. I was pleasantly surprised that it opened without any issues. I could compile the project and debug it just fine.
1. It has a number of features from Flex Builder 3 (which is available as beta here, only for Windows though). But Adobe says that these two products are NOT the same and that they will have separate timelines.
2. It does not 'yet' support the cooler features in Flex Builder 2 such as Design View, States View, Refactoring(FB3), etc. Also, the part that I was most interested in - Adobe AIR support is not in yet. I hope they fit in somehow soon.


The principle function of epithelial cells is to provide a protective layer for the organ they enclose but also provide other biological functions including secretion, selective absorption, filtration, protection and detection of sensation. The dysfunction of epithelial cells leads to a variety of diseases, infections and tumors. Therefore, epithelial cells are used in multiple research areas such as physiology, immunology, cytobiology, development and reproductive biology, molecular biology.


Marketing isn't just something that happens organically. There's a lot of work involved and many moving pieces. It all starts with a strong marketing plan. But how do you create one and what is it comprised of? This is what you need to know to get started.
Marketing has become more complicated lately. Attendees are finding greater ways to avoid event marketing and professing that they don't want to be sold. Good marketing requires finesse and the ability to be of value long before you require something like an event ticket.
So how do you walk that fine line?
Know where you want to go. What's your end business goal?
Make note of where you are starting from. You won't know how successful you are or if you've fallen short if you don't analyze where you are before marketing plan implementation.
Figure out who your ideal attendee is, what they're like, what they need, and where they are.
Put together a plan on how you will reach your ideal attendee through digital marketing and implement it. Cyber stalking is not a plan.
Analyze the effectiveness of your results. What could've been done differently? At the same time you are analyzing you should also be connecting to your attendees as they return home.
1. What Is Your End Marketing Goal for the Event?
J.R.R. Tolkien wrote "All who wander are not lost" and that's true. If you don't have a selected destination, you can't really say you're lost. However 'wandering' is not a good idea for a marketing plan. Instead, you want to find the most direct route to what you want to accomplish. You can't do that without establishing a goal.
Increasing attendee numbers by 5% over last year.
Increasing course sales at the event by 15% on the first day of the conference.
Improving brand recognition by 10% by end of conference.
Improving Net Promoter Score of the client.
Getting back to our Tolkien quote, you may now know where you're going but if you don't have a point from which you're starting you don't know how long it'll take to get there or if you've arrived. Let's imagine someone told you a destination is two hours away. That seems very doable. But that easy idea becomes more complicated if you're starting from somewhere farther away. Now your 'two-hour' prediction has become five.
With events, it's important to have solid analytics on what you've achieved in the past. Without knowing how many attendees you had last year, how can you achieve your goal to increase the number by 5%? Instead, gather this year's goal and the numbers associated with last year's event and you have your starting point. Now you know what kind of work is involved in getting to your goal.
A quick side note about budgeting since a budget should be highly correlated with your event goal: Make sure you have a budget for marketing. Yes, many aspects of marketing are free like social media and writing an email. However, there are time costs associated with each activity. Plus, even social media requires an investment these days with targeted ads. You may want to consider a drip marketing campaign or even a content creator, storyteller, or a marketing designer. More about the specifics later but for now, it's important to include a marketing budget.
Effective marketing is highly personalized these days and it's impossible to personalize an approach if you don't know your audience. Create attendee personas of the type of person who comes to your events by analyzing your past attendee data. You can create more than one persona, but if you have too many that suggests not really understanding your core audience.
Jen is a 44-year-old female, a working mom of two elementary-school kids. Her household income is around $50,000 and she has a college degree and works in an office in an administrative function. She loves spending time with family but is looking forward to expanding her career as her children get older and need her less. She often finds she doesn't have enough time to get her to-do list accomplished. She's feeling sandwiched between family and work obligations and wants a better work/life balance. She comes to our productivity seminars because she's tired of feeling overwhelmed. She's on Facebook and Pinterest.
This may seem like a lot of work fleshing out these details but they help you and your team understand what Jen's pressure points are and what appeals to her. Stress is a major concern for her. If your event can help with stress, either by showing her productive ways for reducing it or by helping her prioritize something that will give her more time in her day, she may just come to your event.
On the other hand, if your marketing promotion is all about coming to your event for the party, Jen won't likely be there.
Once you know who your attendees are, you can easily figure out where they are online, using social media demographics. For instance, a large percentage of Instagram users are under 35. If you're marketing an event to Baby Boomers, unless it's a photography event, you can probably avoid Instagram if you have limited time and resources.
Now that you know where you're starting from, where you're going, and who you're trying to reach, you need to figure out all the details. First, marketing should never occur just a few days before registration opens and close when everyone checks in. Marketing your event should be an ongoing activity for you.
Email marketing. This begins with email invites to your event but can be so much more than that. You can use email to send e-newsletters keeping everyone in touch on event dates throughout the year such as calls for speakers, registration openings, etc. Email can also be used for drip marketing. One brilliant example of that is creating a drip marketing campaign for those who have signed up to attend. Send them information about the event and the host city every week or so. Not only will they get excited, but they'll also be likely to talk about it on social media.
Crank up the content machine. Featuring worthwhile content (according to your ideal attendee) on your website allows you to reach interested people when you're not at the office. Your content can be feeding people and the search engines even when you're not working. You can use your content in social media postings, as part of your newsletter, and in your email marketing. Plus, your content gives your audience something to share with their tribe, making them look like in-the-know experts.
Social media. In addition to that awesome content you've created and posted to social media, you also want to have conversations with people on these platforms and listen for conversations about your event. Join them in a natural way. Make helpful suggestions when you can and look to be of value. Do not hard sell anyone.
Public relations. What press releases need to be written and sent out?
Storytelling. Help your attendees share their stories. Tell yours and don't forget your sponsors. Storytelling is highly effective in motivating people to perform an action, like buying a ticket.
Influencer marketing. This is the part where you reach out to influencers in your industry for endorsements, blog post testimonials, or affinity programs where you give them a discount and a limited number of tickets. They will then get a commission or a portion of the ticket sales that they sell.
Referral marketing and repeat attendees. You can also give discount codes to people who refer friends or discounted tickets for people who have attended in the past. This is your strongest base of attendees so playing up to their loyalty is a good move.
A complete marketing plan will also include tactics while you're at the event as well as community-solidifying activities afterward. If you keep your audience interested throughout the year, you'll never have to ramp up again. Plus, constant interest means more people watching for registration to open and a larger number of early sign-ups.
Whatever marketing tactics you use, you want to personalize them to your audience. Use their names in communications and mention past activities or guest history to make them feel like they will be missed if they're not in attendance.
Only marketing plans are perfect. Once they leave the sheet of paper or screen and are implemented, that's when the analysis must be performed to see what can be improved upon.
But don't leave analysis as part of the recap after the event. The effectiveness of marketing is predicated on your ability to adjust things as you're going. If you wait until the end, you don't have the ability to change something that may have helped you reach your goal. Things move too quickly to leave it all to a final assessment.
Speaking of final assessment, take some time after the event is over to measure whether you met your goal. If so, what worked well for you? If not, what could you have done better? Don't cheat yourself out of this crucial review time. It's essential to your success next year to spend some time talking about this one.
A solid marketing plan contains a lot of moving parts but when stitched together into a cohesive strategy, it is incredibly effective at increasing the number of attendees at your event. When done well, marketing should appear friendly and flawless. People shouldn't feel marketed to. They should feel like you are providing value and they want to be a part of that.
Don't go into your event marketing thrashing around. Be specific in what you want to do, where you're coming from, how you'll get there, and who you need to be a part of it. Then remember, marketing doesn't end. If you have an event next year, move seamlessly from marketing this year into having fun at the event and building interest in next year's event.
Then, share your results with the team. It's always nice to see hard work pay off. But even if you fell short of your goal, understanding why will help you adjust things for a better event next time.

Homelessness exists in Haliburton County. It's a type of homelessness that doesn't resemble the typical version one might see on television, or on the streets of downtown Toronto, with people sleeping on pieces of cardboard along busy sidewalks.
Rather, the county's homeless population is part of what is often referred to as the "hidden homeless," people with no place of their own to go, who stay with friends, couch surf, or live out of vehicles.
In 2016, Martin conducted research on rural, hidden homelessness by interviewing 10 people living in the county in such conditions. One was a young woman in her 20s, whose name was "Susie" for the purposes of the study, who recalled her experience of finding herself sleeping in a car after she and her brother had left their mother's home to escape an abusive stepfather.
Susie went first to a trailer on her mother's property, and then tried couch surfing for a while. However, as Martin points out, the Children's Aid Society has restrictions about accommodations that do not include one's own room, etc.
From there, Susie and her brother stayed with a friend in Barrie for a year, before returning to the county.
"They put her in a motel, a local motel," Martin says. "The issue was she had a dog." That dog was a comfort to Susie, and sleeping without the animal was non-negotiable. So, her brother brought his car to the motel, and he would sleep in the motel room, while Susie slept in the car with her dog.
"And then, that got de-funded," Martin says, explaining that situation ended when social services agency A Place Called Home ceased some of the services it had provided in Haliburton County.
From the motel, Susie went to live in an RV located on the property of parents of a friend of hers.
Pinning down exact numbers of people facing homelessness in the county is a challenge.
"In terms of numbers of individuals who are experiencing homelessness in Haliburton County, our By Name List (a real time list of individuals and families we know to be experiencing homelessness) has the names of 13 households who are experiencing homelessness," Jocelyn Blazey, homelessness system resource co-ordinator for the county and City of Kawartha Lakes, told the paper in an email.
"This includes those who are couch surfing, staying in temporary accommodation and a few who have been known to sleep outside. Since we created our By Name List (BNL) in 2016, however, we have identified a total of 57 households who have at some point experienced homelessness in Haliburton County.
"As you can tell from the numbers, there are a significant number of people who have been homeless in Haliburton County in the last two years. We have been doing some concerted work over the last year or so in building our Coordinated Entry Response in an effort to better identify and support individuals who are homeless.
The fundraiser Martin is organizing is scheduled to take place overnight on Friday, March 1. The idea is to have three concurrent events – one in Haliburton Village, one in Minden, one in Wilberforce – where residents will gather, partake in some programming that might include music and bonfires, before hopping into their vehicles with their bedding for the night.
Martin is hoping to host the events at the public facilities with public buildings that participants will be able to use for their washrooms and as warming stations, if required.
"The next day, we're going to do some kind of reflection circle of some sort," Martin says.


If you missed the first of this series you should go back and read it. In short, I am gathering a collection of traps, triggers, and puzzles for new GM's to use for their dungeons. Hopefully these will prove useful, or at least interesting, to create your own.
Trap – A nonliving danger that is posed to the players that are activated with a trigger.
Trigger – A mechanism that activates some effect, both beneficial and hazardous.
Puzzle – An obstacle that requires a series of actions to complete, usually involving a level of intellectual challenge.
This trap is a staple of Dungeons and Dragons. It comes up in nearly every fantasy game and they seem to terrify everyone. Mimics, in their simplest form it is a creature that takes on the form of an object to surprise its prey. When we think of Mimics usually it is in the form of a chest that we assume it to be as its a common form for them to take. Adventurers LOVE chests and whats inside them. Sometimes they are too hasty to open them resulting in being eaten.
What may be unknown to some newer players is that mimics can take the form of ANY object. To give an example from one of my own games, I had tasked my players with going to a wizards tower and retrieving "The Wizards Staff". Once they had made it through the trials of the wizards tower they found his room with all of his stuff, including a staff that lied at the foot of his bed on a type of wooden footlocker. The ranger assuming everything safe went up and grabbed the staff only to find out that the staff and the footlocker together were a mimic. What they were really after was a book with the title "The Wizard's Staff".
A traditional trap is a very simple one, pick a spell from the Player's Handbook and cast it at the player. The key to this trap is the delivery method. For instance, once a player steps on a tile it applies shocking grasp to the one who stepped on it.
Sometimes this will effect everyone in the party (i.e. fireball). You should also note what else the spell effects in the room. Is there another element to the puzzle that feels the effect of this spell? If so what kind of cascading effect will it have?
Yeah I know, I just covered spells in the traps. How could I talk about using spells for these things without also talking about how they can be used for triggers? Using a spell as a trigger does require a bit more creativity as there are only a handful of spells in the Players Handbook (at least in 5th Edition) that could really be used as a trigger.
The one that immediately comes to mind is the alarm spell. An area of effect that more or less alarms the person who cast it, or everyone in the area. However you can invent your own spells that act as triggers and leave your players puzzled. After all in a world with wizards there are always those wizards who are experimenting and coming up with new things.
An example could be a spell that triggers a trap to activate when two objects touch. This could lead to a reverse Indiana Jones scenario where players place an object on a pedestal and watch as a boulder comes at them.
"Open Sesame" is a phrase that nearly everyone in my generation seems to know even though probably the closest they've come to reading "Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves" is through Disney's Aladdin. Yet everyone associates it with some magic words that open doors. That should illuminate the possibilities of what speaking magic words can do.
For instance you could have a question/riddle on the wall and the answer be the solution to progress, or it be a red herring and activate a trap. It also does not simply have to be a specific phrase. You could have it so it triggers whenever you speak, causing a cascading effect as your players keep shouting in character because horrible things are happening around them. Or it only activates when there is silence for a certain amount of time.
The room locks behind the players as skeletons wake from their eternal rest. Words border the door forward: The way forward is open when all lie low. The party kills the skeletons but find that the doors do not open. After a few moments of rest the skeletons put themselves back together looking for another fight.
This scenario could go on for hours if your players fail to realize that they themselves must also lay on the ground once they defeat the skeletons. It should be important to note that to an inexperienced group the skeletons will probably get more swings in making the encounter that much more dangerous depending on the level of the group.
Many of my favorite puzzles start with a single question. In this puzzle what that question is can be up to you depending on the context in which you use this puzzle. In its simplest form the players must order a number of books in a specific way in order to progress. The way they obtain this is up to you as the dungeon master.
When I ran this puzzle for my players they found a series of books in a library that took the idea of "books take you to new worlds" almost too seriously. At the end of each adventure book they found another book that transported them back to the plane they were on. In this campaign they needed three.
I also had the question line the ceiling on each floor of the library having the players find that ad the place where some book shaped holes were. On the spines of these books were their organizational code. I went with the one we use in the Unites States for fictional books, which is to take the first three letters of the authors name. From there the players had to place the books such that those organizational codes spelled out "KNOWLEDGE" which when looked at carefully was perfectly nine letters.
While this is how I ran the puzzle you can come up with your own variations by changing the question and answer. You can also change the organizational code of your libraries to make for more interesting challenges.
Hopefully these traps, triggers, and puzzles help to improve your game, make your players paranoid, and bring fun to your table.

Candace Owens announces lawsuit against Facebook fact-checkers
Prominent conservative said her account has been censored
(JUST THE NEWS) Well-known conservative activist Candace Owens says she's filing a lawsuit against Facebook's third-party fact-checkers after they censored her account in August.
Owens said Thursday she had previously shared a video of a doctor giving his opinion on COVID-19, which she shared to her social media. Facebook quickly issued a strike to her account because "they said only information that they agree with about COVID-19 ... was acceptable," she said.
Her account has since been demonetized, preventing her from using the page as a source of income.

Tackling inequality is a political choice

Top US officials to head to China for new trade talks
US Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin plan to travel to China next week for another round of trade talks with Chinese Vice Premier Liu He, Reuters reports, citing an unidentified Trump administration official.
The resumption in face-to-face talks, the first since US President Donald Trump delayed a March 1 deadline to raise tariffs on US$200 billion worth of Chinese imports, marks an acceleration of the negotiations aimed at ending the trade war between the two sides, the report noted.
"Talks with China are going very well," Trump said on Tuesday at the end of a White House news conference with visiting Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro.
Since Trump's delay of the March 1 tariff hike, Washington and Beijing have only negotiated by telephone and video link.
The US and China have slapped import duties on hundreds of billions of dollars of each other's products in their dispute, raising costs, roiling financial markets, shrinking American farm exports and disrupting manufacturing supply chains.
Washington has demanded that Beijing implement stronger protections for intellectual property rights and end policies that it says coerce US companies to transfer technology to Chinese firms in exchange for access to the Chinese market.
The United States also is demanding that China rein in hefty industrial subsidies that it blames for the buildup of excess production capacity in China.
Since late February, the two sides have been working to refine language on reform pledges that China intends to take, along with an enforcement mechanism aimed at ensuring Beijing will follow through on such changes.
But Chinese officials have sought an immediate end to the tariffs that Trump has imposed on about US$250 billion worth of Chinese imports. Trump administration officials have not specified any plans for rolling back such duties.
The deal under negotiation also is widely expected to include increased Chinese purchases of American goods, including farm and energy commodities, to help reduce the US goods trade deficit with China, which hit a record US$419 billion last year.

Spanish Police Seize Unmanned 'Submarine Drones' Used to Move Drugs
A 14-month investigation into a unique drug operation culminated this week in the arrest of eight people by the Spanish police.
An unnamed criminal group has created air, land and sea vehicles specifically designed to deliver drugs to criminal organizations across Europe, BBC Reports(Opens in a new window). While the Spanish authorities found such watercraft and drugs in past(Opens in a new window)Those caught by police this month can independently move 440 pounds of cocaine or other drugs through waterways without the need for a human on board.
In a statement, the Spanish police said: "This is the first time that this type of vehicle, which operates underwater without a crew on board, is called unmanned underwater vehicles or UUV (Unmanned Underwater Vehicle), better known as" aircraft. without pilot ". statement(Opens in a new window).

A video was posted on the Twitter account of the Spanish police (@Policia National(Opens in a new window)) Shows one fully built submarine and two partially built submarines. They appear to be 6 to 8 feet long each with a blue-gray color. The body is rectangular and conical at one end to propel it smoothly through the water like a torpedo. At the top are two rectangular pieces and a long cylinder that looks like chimneys.

Police also uncovered a fleet of six drones that can fly up to 18.5 miles, £135,527 in cash (US$161,201), 31 pounds of cannabis and 18 pounds of marijuana, much of which was stored in a car. The video also shows other items the group has modified to hold medication, such as a surfboard with a secret part added underneath (known as the "double bottom"). In total, the police found 13 double-bottomed vehicles, including a tow truck they had intercepted en route to Denmark.

What are unmanned underwater vehicles?
UUVs have wide applicability as they allow underwater exploration without costly and risky human diver missions. UUVs have assisted with naval research, military operations, and commercial applications such as construction surveys, pipeline inspections, and reports Inside unmanned systems(Opens in a new window). In May, the US Navy Suggestion (Opens in a new window)Invest hundreds of millions in developing and building a fleet of UUVs.

There are two types of unmanned vehicles: remotely operated underwater vehicles (ROVs) and autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs). In the case of Spain, the submarines were semi-submersible ROVs. It was equipped with GPS systems and could be operated by anyone around the world using any device connected to the internet, BBC Reports(Opens in a new window). In contrast, AUVs cut off human involvement and are often pre-programmed to perform a specific task between points.
Where did the drugs go?
Given the aquatic nature of the drones, Spanish authorities said they were able to cross the Strait of Gibraltar. The 8-mile stretch is located at the southern tip of Spain, providing relatively easy access to Morocco. The North African country is a major producer of cannabis, making Spain a major entry point for drug distribution across Europe.
However, the police believed that the drones were to be delivered to drug dealers in neighboring France, so the French police cooperated with the Spanish police in the investigation, which exposed the group's many international connections. They are believed to have provided "logistical services to all kinds of criminal organizations" in countries such as Italy, France and Denmark, although Spanish police have indicated they are still operating on a "medium scale".

Family-owned and operated since 1876, we provide our products to bag and packaging companies at wholesale prices. We handle the sourcing, quality control, import logistics, financing, warehousing, and distribution for your products. Our business model is built on trust – and we look forward to earning yours.

The Halsted staff and management is very easy to work with and willing to help us on more than one special project. An instance comes to mind where their factory relationships enabled us to offer a competitive program to a very large sandbag user and deliver full container quantities profitably.
A big thing that I like is Halsted only sells to the distributor market and never to end users. This provides us the security knowing that our customer base is protected from competitive encroachment.
We have partnered with Halsted for 25 years. During this time, we have found them to be honest, dependable and a pleasure to do business with. The staff provides excellent customer service that is unmatched in the industry.
I've been doing business with Halsted Corporation for over 30 years. Product Knowledge, Fair Pricing, plus Superior Quality and Service are just a few of the reasons why.


I know that for many of you it is difficult to learn Krav Maga. Even the simplest, most distilled form of self defense is still not easy. I know.
I know that you come to class and feel silly, awkward, uncoordinated. I know that you feel 'what is the point, I will never be able to defend myself'.
But I also know something else. I know that you have no choice, that you must come to class, you have an obligation, a responsibility. You must come.
And I know something else as well, that everyone improves in time. I have been teaching for over thirty years, everyone from children to Special Forces, I know that if you give it time, if you give yourself time, you will improve.
And I know that today a mother of six was murdered in her home. I know that an Arab terrorist came into her home and murdered Dafna Meir in front of her daughters.
The door was unlocked, basic precautions and training were lacking.
I know that we must train, we must become more aware, we must study this field, for it is a matter of life and death.
Some people are highly athletic and coordinated and will pick up the techniques very quickly, others will need more time, I know, and that is OK.
That is why we must be patient, we must not give up. Even if you are feeling uncoordinated, even if you feel that today was not your best day in training, you must not give up. For today a mother of six is being buried, for today there are six more orphans in Israel.
We train to improve our chances of survival. There are no guarantees, but we must try.
I know you had a long day at work, I know you are tired, I know you stop and stare at the black belts and say, "God, I wish I could do that". But you did not see those black belts eight years ago, you do not know the journey they have traveled. But I Know.
I know how you are feeling but I know that you must not give up. Your life and the lives of your families depend upon this. Give yourself a fighting chance.

Ogden on Politics: Bailout Out the Capital Improvement Board; Does the General Assembly Assist in Political Suicide?
Bailout Out the Capital Improvement Board; Does the General Assembly Assist in Political Suicide?
In a matter of weeks, the focus will be on the Indiana Statehouse as the legislature returns to fulfill its legal responsibility of passing a budget. It appears that the budget bill will include a Capital Improvement Board bailout, or perhaps more precisely, provisions allowing the Indianapolis City-County Council to vote for new tax increases to channel more revenue toward the CIB.
While lumping the CIB bailout into the budget bill is going to make it much more likely to pass than it would as a stand-alone provision, one wonders if any CIB provision that requires the Council to raise taxes has any chance of passing that closely divided body.
The spread on the Council now is 15 Republicans, 13 Democrats, and 1 Libertarian. It's a safe bet that Libertarian Ed Coleman won't support any CIB tax increases. Democrats, while not necessarily opposed to tax increases, remember well the fact that the Greg Ballard is the Mayor because he ran against then Mayor Bart Peterson's COIT tax increase and is unlikely to want to help the Mayor out of the crisis by voting for taxes themselves.
With Republicans, even with the Coleman defection, still a majority on the Indianapolis City Council, the GOP could pass the CIB tax increases by themselves. To do so though, the Mayor would need 100% support from Republican council members for the tax increases. The political capital the Mayor would have to extend to get every last Council Republican to go along with the tax increases - a vote that would doom many of their political fates - would be extraordinary. Let's see that the Mayor does a superior sales job and gets 75% to go along with possibly a career ending tax increase, that still leaves the Mayor three votes short of a majority. Those three votes would have to come from Democrats. I shudder to think what backroom deals would have to be cut for those three Democrats to cross over. The one thing that works in the Mayor's favor on that score is that the Democrats actually want the Mayor to succeed in his plan to raise taxes so they can use that as a lethal club against him and Council Republicans in 2011. It is possible that the Democrats will send the Mayor a few votes to make sure he's successful in his suicidal efforts.
Thus, I'm not sure it's even wise for the legislature to include in the bill options to let Indianapolis raise taxes. Doing so is akin to buying a gun for someone who is suicidal. Mayor Ballard is determined to commit political suicide by raising taxes to bail out the CIB and take out Council Republicans with him. Why should Republicans in the General Assembly assist in helping Mayor Ballard do that, especially when he doesn't appear to have the votes on the council to pass the tax increases anyway?
That returns to the notion of other bailout options that may not require the Council to pass tax increases. Unfortunately an expansion of gambling is being pursued as an option. Indiana now ranks only behind Nevada when it comes to tax revenue derived from gambling. That is astonishing when one considers that it was only a couple decades ago that Indiana adopted a lottery, after years of prohibition on gambling in the state. One of the problems with the gambling ( I refuse to call it "gaming") option, and there are many, is that the State is already at the saturation point. Any expansion of gambling into Indianapolis generally only involve slicing the pieces of pie in smaller slivers. Another option being floated is to not expand into Indianapolis, but to allow table games at the Shelbyville and Anderson racinos, with some of the revenue channelled toward a CIB bailout. That, however, would cut into the French Lick casino business, so I'm sure that the owner of that casino, the Cook Group, would have to be placated.
If we think lobbying money has corrupted Indianapolis politics now, just wait until gambling lobbying money starts hitting the pockets of local politicians.
All the aforementioned approaches though belie the real problem with the CIB, which is that the Board has heavily subsidized professional sports, and insists on expanding those subsidies despite the fact that it is deeply in the hole financially and is begging for a bailout. It is truly remarkable that the CIB, the Mayor, and even the Council Democrats are determined to pick up $15 million a year for the Pacers in Conseco operating costs when in fact the Pacers have publicly said they never asked for the money and the CIB has absolutely no legal obligation to give the Pacers the money. If successful, we taxpayers would be paying the cost of running Conseco Fieldhouse while the Pacers get all of the revenue off of the building.
Any measure dealing with the CIB needs to include a requirement that the Board's past practices be investigated and that the CIB be reformed so that these mistakes never happen again. It is clear from the CIB's latest folly - the $15 million proposed annual gift to the Pacers - that it is not going to reform itself. The Board needs a major shakeup not only in terms of personnel, but in terms of its statutory authority. The CIB should not be in the business of handing out grants to various interest groups, such as Black Expo, the Arts Council, etc. Those groups should be going through the elected body, the Indianapolis City County Council.
Likewise, in special session, the legislature needs to put the bankruptcy issue into play by granting authority to the CIB and the City, to put the Board into bankruptcy. I still perceive reorganization bankruptcy as the best option for the CIB out of its current mess. But at the very least, the legislature should bestow on the CIB the option of bankruptcy, which would then give the Board a weapon to force the Pacers and Colts to the bargaining table, where concessions can be extracted from the teams, concessions that could alleviate the need for a taxpayer funded bailout. Of course, this remedy presupposes the CIB will have better negotiators than it has had in the past.
As the legislature special session nears, so to does the battle over the future of the CIB and Indianapolis politics. At the least, it should be interesting.
I once thought that this mess with the CIB couldn't get any worse but if the legislature insists in allowing the city to levy more taxes to bail out the CIB then alas I'm severely wrong it will be much worse. Not only will we continue to reward the sports magnates at the expense of the taxpayers but we still don't attack the root of the problem which is the incompetence displayed by the CIB. We don't understand why anyone in power, the mayor, the city council etc. have not demanded a reckoning of the finanaces of the CIB. The city council approves their budget why is this the only oversight? Why hasn't the mayor or the council recalled the members they appointed? Why isn't anyone demanding answers as to how the CIB could be in deficit for 10 years and not only failed to acknowledge that fact but continued to build sport palaces?


Welcome to the murky, shadowy twilight world of working on a Project based on an Intellectual Property without the use of a Licence. This looks like it's turned into an ownership battle between 2 developers. Tragic development, that.
As i understand it, Wonderdice aquired the license sometime later, after the original creator pitched the game to them.
Yes, but they still got it before trying to make a game.
The issue was that they took the old idea and ran with it without notifying or crediting the original author, then offered him sweet f**k-all when it was brought to his attention and he called them out on it.
I am amazed sometimes of how people can talk about a topic without any understanding of it on the internet.
I mean, how does windebieste think he can bring anything to the subject while he clearly read nothing about it?
I think winde is refering to the original author, who made the game and pitched it to Wonderdice, when neither had the license.
Im not commenting on the actual matter at hand, im just pointing out that Winde is correct when he said that the original game was created before anyone had the license. After that it sounds like wonderdice stole the idea for the game and acquired the license.
Actually, I did read about it.
Yes, but the issue was never really about who did or didn't have the license at what stage of the matter. It didn't really factor into what's going on.
Since the case has absolutely nothing to do with the license, I'd still say that clearly windie has made no effort in understanding the problem at all. Be it a licensed game or not, the problem would be exactly the same.
Now you're just being accusatory - for no reason - and it's not welcome.
I have read about the issues surrounding this game and came to the conclusion the original developer failed to take steps to protect his property from potential theft - which is what appears to have happened. But by copyright law, the new version of the game adequately differs from the original version for it to be a valid new product but they failed to acknowledge the original creator.
I say both parties are negligent here and this issue isn't something that will be solved by unwarrented finger pointing on a forum not associated with the product(s) in question.
The game industry doesn't work like you seem to think it does, which you'd have learnt if you actually read about the issues.
It's not even clear if the copyright law are respected by the new version of the game, as is proven by wonderdice attempt to reach an agreement with the original author post-polemic.
As has been repeatedly said by most of the editors and authors who witnessed the bad buzz, had they restarted a game from scratch, they would have obtained totally different mechanics.
And past this issue, when the editors, authors and the board game community acknowledges what they did was theft by the industry standard, clearly what they did was theft.
Saying the original author, who was still in contact with his usual editor about this game, has been negligent in any way is blatant ignorance of the facts surrounding the whole affair, and just means that you're apologetic of thieves.
Is there a way to block posts made by 'guests'?
It sounds like "Some" must have some skin in the game.
Looks like this is still happening. Someone on one of the wargaming Facebook groups shared that he'd been playtesting the game and it was due to be demoed at an upcoming gaming event in London.
These minifigs are rather badass.

Les épreuves d'équitation aux Jeux olympiques d'été de 1980 à Moscou étaient le saut d'obstacles, le dressage et le concours complet, disputées à titre individuel et par équipe.

Le boycott et ses conséquences
Les Jeux ont été perturbés par le boycott orchestré par le président des États-Unis, Jimmy Carter dans le cadre d'actions visant à protester contre l'invasion de l'Afghanistan par l'Union soviétique en . Jimmy Carter s'engagea dans une épreuve de force pour gagner le soutien d'autres nations. Certains gouvernements, comme ceux de la Grande-Bretagne et de l'Australie, ont soutenu le boycott mais ont laissé les athlètes décider eux-mêmes d'aller à Moscou ou non. Les athlètes américains n'avaient pas cette liberté de choix car leur Président menaçait de supprimer le passeport de tout athlète qui tentait de se rendre en URSS. Finalement 67 pays n'ont pas participé dont 45 à 50 qui furent probablement absents à cause du boycott dirigé par les États-Unis. 80 nations ont participé aux Jeux, la participation la plus basse depuis 1956. Nick Skelton expliqua également la difficulté supplémentaire pour l'équitation : la possible dégradation de la situation diplomatique aurait pu compromettre le rapatriement des chevaux après les jeux.

Les cavaliers de seulement 11 nations ont pris part aux compétitions équestres. Parmi les meilleures nations équestres, seule l'Autriche, avec Sissy Theurer, championne européenne de dressage, et l'Italie avec son équipe de concours complet, se sont rendus à Moscou. Il y avait en outre deux Finlandais et huit Mexicains en concours complet et saut d'obstacles, et un cavalier du Guatemala en saut d'obstacles. Les places laissées vacantes ont été occupées par des cavaliers de pays socialistes et par quatre Indiens en concours complet qui, vêtus d'uniformes colorés, faisaient leurs débuts internationaux à haut niveau et ont tous été éliminés.

La plupart des nations qui n'ont pas pris part aux Jeux de Moscou ont participé à des Jeux olympiques non-officiels, organisés par la FEI, qualifiés « d'alternatifs » ou « de remplacement », nommés les . Ils eurent lieu à Goodwood (Royaume-Uni) pour le dressage, à Fontainebleau (France) pour le concours complet et à Rotterdam (Pays-Bas) pour le saut d'obstacle.

Organisation
Le comité d'organisation avait construit un site impressionnant de 45 hectares à Bitsevsk, dans le sud-ouest de Moscou, comprenant une carrière de saut d'obstacles pouvant accueillir 12 000 spectateurs et une carrière de dressage pouvant accueillir 3 000 personnes.

Participation
11 nations furent représentéesː Autriche, Bulgarie, Guatemala, Finlande, Hongrie, Inde, Italie, Mexique, Pologne, Roumanie, URSS. 68 couples prirent part aux épreuves, 26 en saut d'obstacles, 14 en dressage et 28 en concours complet.

Saut d'obstacles
10 000 spectateurs ont assisté à la compétition par équipes dans le complexe équestre de Bitsa. Six équipes ont concouru, dont aucune ne pouvait être considérée comme l'une des 10 meilleures équipes au monde. Le concepteur du parcours était l'ancien cavalier soviétique de Coupe des Nations Viatcheslav Kartavski qui construisit des parcours assez faciles ne présentant aucun problème de distance.

16 participants participèrent à la compétition individuelle qui se déroula devant 80 000 spectateurs dans le stade Lénine. Les Roumains choisirent de ne pas participer, mais il y avait un coureur individuel de la Finlande et du Guatemala. Le vétéran polonais, Jan Kowalczyk, âgé de 38 ans et montant Artemor, a remporté la médaille d'or avec un sans-faute dans chacune des manches. Nikolaj Korolkov, avec 9,5 points, a remporté la médaille d'argent et la médaille de bronze a été remportée par Joaquin Perez de la Heras pour le Mexique après un barrage contre le Néerlandais Oswaldo Mendez.

Dressage
La seule championne étrangère à concourir à Moscou, Elisabeth Theurer sur Mon Chéri, jument Hanovrienne grise âgée de 10 ans, a nettement remporté la médaille d'or individuelle. Sa décision de participer aux Jeux de Moscou avait suscité une controverse considérable dans son Autriche natale, entraînant la démission du président de la Fédération équestre nationale. Dans le Grand Prix, Sissi Theurer, âgée de 26 ans, avait 35 et 82 points d'avance sur les deux meilleurs soviétiques, respectivement Yuri Kovshov et Viktor Ugriumov. Dans le Grand Prix Spécial, la différence est passée à 90 et 136 points. Même sans Elena Petushkova qui avait perdu son nouveau cheval Abakan pour cause de maladie, l'équipe soviétique, avec une marge record de 803 points, a remporté la médaille d'or par équipe. L'argent et le bronze sont allés à la Bulgarie et à la Roumanie.

Concours Complet
La participation de l'Italie a permis d'apporter du sport de haut niveau à cette compétition L'Italie avait été championne olympique en 1964 et l'Union soviétique avait été championne d'Europe de 1962 à 1975 à trois reprises.

L'es épreuves se sont déroulées au stade de Bitsa et dans le parc forestier voisin. Le sol était profond et boueux et les obstacles étaient très regardants. Sur les 28 partants, 11 ont été éliminés dont tous les Indiens. L'Union soviétique a remporté l'or par équipe devant l'Italie et le Mexique. Federico Roman et Rossinan, cheval gris de huit ans, a remporté la médaille d'or individuelle devant trois cavaliers soviétiques.

Police in Balaka has recovered seven sets of sewing machines and three sewing machine stands for Mahajuba Islamic centre that were stolen.
Public relations officer for Balaka police station inspector Felix Misomali the machines are worthy eight hundred thousand kwacha.
Misomali says the items were stolen on several occasions at the centre which is located at Ulongwe Trading centre.
The centres supervisor Albert Bwanali says early march this year one of the halls at the institution was broken into and four sets of sewing machines, five sewing machine heads and five rolls of wrappers were stolen by unknown criminals.
During investigation police arrested one of the employees of the centre.
Meanwhile, police are advising employers in Balaka to employ people of good order and conduct.


Gorgeous watch. Thanks for treking all the way back there to get a photo for us, Red.
She is so much fun to shop with.

Ferratum Team with Marcus Grönholm in Projekt E
In addition to the next rounds of the FIA World Rallycross Championship and the FIA European Rallycross Championship scheduled for November 21-22 at Spa-Francorchamps also round three of the 2020 Projekt E Series is set to go underway.
Nevertheless no entry list for the category has been revealed yet, Jani Paasonen's Ferratum Team announced yesterday (October 30) double FIA World Rally Champion and current GRX Taneco Team Principal Marcus Grönholm (52) to join the team. Grönholm will take on the wheel of the Ford Fiesta ERX that was previously driven by Jānis Baumanis during the second round of the Series at Riga in Latvia back in September.

According to the announcement Grönholm did some testing with the car in the meantime in his home country Finland and is looking forward to race in Belgium. He said: "I drove a total of three laps, so I'm well trained! I haven't been the biggest fan of electric cars to be honest, but when I drove this car, inside the cockpit the enthusiasm really surfaced. The car behaves very well and is very impressive."
Earlier this year Grönholm returned to racing already with his participation at Höljes in Sweden during the so-called 'Legends' category alongside the RallyX Nordic 2020 opening rounds racing a Hyundai i20 Supercar. Now with his upcoming participation at Spa-Francorchamps Grönholm also makes it clear that this is not a comeback to racing. "I have said at home that I will no longer drive in races," he said. "But, while I'm in this situation where I will race in Belgium, I'm not going to get into any big fights, and this is certainly not a comeback. I'm getting involved to feel what these electric cars are like, as Rallycross is going in that direction anyway."

The World RX round at Spa-Francorchamps is, at the time of writing, still scheduled to go underway on November 21-22, however, it will take place behind closed doors as the local organizer announced earlier this week.
