Absence Seizure
Absence seizures are brief seizures during which the patient is unresponsive. They are generally seen in children between 4 and 12 years of age. Absence seizures occur in multiple genetic generalized epilepsies, including childhood absence epilepsy (CAE), juvenile absence epilepsy (JAE), and juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME.) Atypical absence seizures have been reported in up to 60% of patients with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome. The condition has a classic EEG finding of a 3 Hz spike and wave discharges. Absence epilepsy is an electroclinical diagnosis (clinical presentation and EEG findings). This activity reviews the evaluation, diagnosis, and management of absence seizures and highlights the differential diagnosis of absence seizures/staring spells.

Explain how interprofessional team members can collaborate to promptly diagnose, evaluate and treat patients with absence seizures and provide counseling to the patient and their families to enhance patient outcomes.
Absence seizures are brief seizures characterized by a behavioral arrest that correlates with generalized 3-Hertz spike-and-wave discharges on electroencephalogram (EEG.)[1] Absence seizures occur in multiple genetic generalized epilepsies, including childhood absence epilepsy (CAE), juvenile absence epilepsy (JAE), and juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME.)[2] Atypical absence seizures have been reported in up to 60% of patients with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome.
Historically, absence epilepsy was known as "pyknolepsy." This term originates from the Greek term pyknos, which means "very frequent" or "grouped."[3][4] The term "petit mal" seizure was once used to describe an absence seizure in the past, but it is no longer encouraged.
The International League Against Epilepsy Classification of 2017 defines absence seizures as "generalized non-motor seizures."[5] However, this term is not entirely precise because, as discussed below, motor manifestations of absence epilepsy are frequently seen.[2]
A genetic component exists for all generalized epilepsies and, specifically, for absence epilepsy. In 1951, Lennox reported that 66% of monozygotic twins showed concordance for the EEG pattern of 3-Hertz spike-and-wave. Doose et al. described 252 patients with absence epilepsy with a 3-Hertz spike-and-wave pattern. He proposed that there was multifactorial inheritance. The voltage-gated T-type calcium channel gene, the GABA-A receptor subunits GABRG2 and GABRG3, and the CACNA1A gene are thought to be involved in the etiology of this epilepsy syndrome.[3][6][4]
Also, some copy number variants (CNVs), for example, 15q11.2, 15q13.3, and 16p13.11 microdeletion have also been described in patients with childhood absence epilepsy.[7] However, the mode of inheritance and the majority of genes implicated in CAE are still unknown.[4]
The incidence of childhood absence epilepsy is approximately 6.3 to 8.0 children per 100 000 per year.[8][9][7]
Childhood absence epilepsy is a common pediatric epilepsy syndrome. Among all cases of epilepsy in school-aged children, 10% to 17% are due to CAE.[1] The age of onset for CAE is typically between 4 and 10 years, with a peak between ages 5 and 7. Girls have CAE more frequently than boys.[4]
Although some of the pathways involved in the development of absence seizures have been described, their pathophysiological mechanisms are yet to be fully understood. The cortico-thalamic-cortical circuit is considered to play a significant role in the pathophysiology of absence seizures.[10]
Some of the neurons involved in the cortico-thalamic-cortical system include:
Cortical glutamatergic neurons originating on cortical layer VI and projecting to the nucleus reticularis of the thalamus
Thalamic relay neurons with excitatory projections to cortical pyramidal neurons
Neurons from the thalamic nucleus reticularis containing inhibitory GABA-ergic projections that connect with other neurons from the same nucleus and with thalamic relay neurons; these neurons do not connect directly with the cortex[4]
Neurons from the thalamic nucleus reticularis can fire in an oscillatory pattern (for example, rhythmic bursts involved in the generation of sleep spindles) or continuously in single spikes (tonic firing during wakefulness). Shifts between these two firing patterns in the thalamic nucleus reticularis are modulated by spikes in thalamocortical networks and neurons from the thalamic nucleus reticularis. These are mediated through low-threshold transient calcium channels known as T-type channels. After depolarization, T-type channels briefly allow calcium inflow before becoming inactivated. Reactivation requires a relatively long hyperpolarization facilitated by GABA-B receptors. Therefore, abnormal oscillatory rhythms can originate from T-type channel abnormalities or from increased GABA-B activity.[4]
As explained by the genetics of absence epilepsy, genes coding for T-type calcium channels and for GABA receptors have been associated with the etiopathogenesis of this type of epilepsy. Medications that suppress T-type calcium channels, such as ethosuximide and valproate, are effective anti-absence drugs. Conversely, medications that increase GABA-B activity (e.g., vigabatrin) exacerbate the frequency of absence seizures. In contrast, GABA-A agonists (e.g., benzodiazepines) that preferentially enhance GABA-ergic activity in neurons from the thalamic nucleus reticularis can suppress absence seizures.[4]
More recent research on penicillin-induced models of epilepsy in cats favors the cerebellum's role in long-term electrical stimulation in the absence epilepsy.[11]
The age of onset of CAE is usually between 4 and 10 years, with a peak between the ages of 5 and 7.[4][2] The onset of absence epilepsy before age four should raise concern for an underlying glucose transporter type 1 (GLUT1) deficiency.[4]
Regarding its clinical presentation, family members and teachers usually describe brief spells in which the patient has a loss of awareness, is unresponsive, and has a behavioral arrest. They describe the patient during these spells as having "a blank stare."[2] Episodes frequently occur, often 10 to more than 30 times throughout the day. Most children stop their activity completely, but some can continue it more slowly or unusually.[1] Some children have 3-Hertz regular eyelid fluttering.[1][2]
Oral automatisms can also occur, especially with prolonged seizures or during hyperventilation. Children frequently have mild clonic or tonic movements in the first few seconds of the spell. Pallor is commonly reported.[1] Urinary incontinence is rare. Spells usually last between 4 and 30 seconds. Hyperventilation, a state of arousal, sleep deprivation, and medication use can affect the duration of the seizure.[1] These seizures are not preceded by an aura and do not have a postictal state.[10]
For JAE, the age of onset is classically between 10 and 19 years, with a peak at 15 years.[4] Seizures are less frequent than in CAE but tend to last longer.[3][4]
Ten to fifteen percent of patients with childhood absence epilepsy have a history of febrile seizures.[11]
On physical examination, hyperventilation can trigger absence seizures. To test this, the examiner asks the child to blow repetitively for more than 2 minutes. Using a pinwheel or paper can be helpful because this encourages the child to cooperate more during testing. If hyperventilation is done successfully, the patient will develop seizures that can be seen clinically and /or on EEG. There is some evidence that absence seizures are more easily provoked when the person is in a sitting position.[12]
Absence status consists of generalized, non-convulsive seizures characterized by impairment of awareness and intermittently has other manifestations such as automatisms or subtle myoclonic, tonic, atonic, or autonomic phenomena. Patients usually have a previous diagnosis of generalized epilepsy. Absence status presents as a non-convulsive seizure lasting between a half hour and several days. It usually ends spontaneously and suddenly but should be treated with anti-seizure medications at the time of diagnosis.[13]
EEG is the main diagnostic tool for the evaluation of absence epilepsy. In the case of childhood absence seizures, EEG shows bilaterally synchronous and symmetrical 3-Hertz spike-and-wave discharges that start and end abruptly. These discharges can sometimes have maximum frontal amplitude or begin with unilateral focal spikes.[2] In 50% of seizures in childhood absence epilepsy, the initial discharge seen has a typical spike-and-wave morphology. The remaining 50% can show a single spike, polyspikes, or an atypical, irregular, generalized spike-and-wave.[1] The background is normal.[4]
Atypical absence seizures show a more insidious onset and offset, slower spike-and-wave paroxysms (less than 3 Hertz), and an abnormal interictal background.[4]
Neuropsychological testing has shown that patients with CAE have cognitive deficits, especially involving attention, executive function, and verbal and visuospatial memory. Difficulty with language and reading is also commonly reported. Depression, anxiety, and attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder also have been reported more frequently in patients with CAE.[1]
Since CAE is generalized epilepsy, imaging studies are not performed routinely.
In JAE, EEG demonstrates paroxysms of generalized 3- to 4-Hertz spike-and-wave or polyspike-and-wave discharges.[4]
In the case of absence status, EEG shows continuous or nearly-continuous generalized spike-and-wave or polyspike-and-wave discharges at 2 to 4 Hertz.
The first-line treatment for absence epilepsy is ethosuximide. A randomized controlled trial in 2010 that included 446 children with CAE showed that ethosuximide and valproic acid were superior to lamotrigine.[14] However, this study had a low seizure-free rate, with 53% of patients in the ethosuximide group, 58% in the valproic acid group, and 29% in patients taking lamotrigine. The group that received valproic acid had significantly lower scores on attentional measures compared to the ethosuximide and lamotrigine groups. For this reason, ethosuximide is the preferred agent for treating absence epilepsy. A study showed that only one-quarter of children with absence epilepsy became seizure-free with levetiracetam. While effective, levetiracetam can control absence epilepsy at a relatively low dose (usually less than 40 mg/kg/day.)[15]
The most frequent side effects of ethosuximide are abdominal pain and nausea. For this reason, ethosuximide should be taken with meals. Other medications that can be used to manage CAE include valproate, lamotrigine, and topiramate. Second-line medications that can be used as adjunct therapy include valproic acid, zonisamide, and levetiracetam.
It is important to note that some sodium channel blockers like phenytoin, carbamazepine, gabapentin, pregabalin, and vigabatrin can worsen absence seizures.[4]
Women of childbearing age not using contraception should not be treated with valproic acid; the preferred agent is ethosuximide.
Some experts suggest that a ketogenic or a medium-chain triglyceride diet may be beneficial, but strong evidence to support their use is lacking.
The differential diagnosis for staring spells includes absence epilepsy, focal seizures with alteration of awareness, and non-epileptic paroxysmal events.
Focal epilepsy with alteration of awareness (previously called complex partial epilepsy) can also present with behavioral arrest and automatisms. However, these seizures are usually less frequent than absence seizures. Patients can have generalized seizures with focal epilepsy. The semiology of automatisms can vary depending on the area of the cerebral cortex where the seizures originate.
A study that evaluated non-epileptic staring spells using video-EEG monitoring found that these episodes were often characterized by arrest of all activity, vague facial expressions, and vision fixed on one point without blinking. When the duration of the events was quantified, staring episodes lasted between 3 and 74 seconds. In most children, it was difficult to determine the onset and end of the event. Most parents were unable to regain the child's attention by waving their hands in front of the child. Other more energetic measures like hand clapping or other loud sounds successfully stopped the events in all children. A significant percentage of children (41%) were inactive at the onset of the stare, and 18% were watching television when the event began.[16]
A retrospective chart review performed in a tertiary care epilepsy center showed that among 276 patients in the epilepsy monitoring unit to have their starring spells monitored, only 11% were deemed to have seizures.[17] Therefore, most staring spells are non-epileptic in nature. Practitioners should be careful when patients present with staring spells and not tell parents or other providers that these episodes are "absence seizures" before EEG evaluation is completed. The study mentioned above developed a tool to determine the pretest probability of seizures in children presenting with staring spells. This tool accounts for patient variables such as results of previous EEG, previous use of antiseizure medications or treatments for psychiatric conditions, and duration of the spells.[17]
Typical childhood absence epilepsy occurs in childhood and resolves by adolescence. Seizure freedom is reported in 57% to 74% of the patients. Patients with generalized tonic-clonic seizures usually do not respond to initial ethosuximide monotherapy and do not achieve long-term remission.
Compared with controls, the risk for accidental injuries during absence seizures is well reported.[16] As mentioned before, these patients have problems in the areas of attention, executive function, and verbal and visuospatial memory. Difficulty with language and reading is also commonly reported. Depression, anxiety, and ADHD have also been reported more frequently in patients with CAE.[1]
Some activities can be dangerous for people with absence seizures because of the temporary loss of awareness accompanying these episodes. Swimming, operating hazardous machinery, and driving during an absence seizure might result in drowning or an accident. Patients may need to restrict certain activities until their seizures are under control. Some states may also have laws regarding how long a patient must go without a seizure before resuming driving.
A general pediatric neurologist or a pediatric epileptologist should be consulted when a patient has staring spells suspected to be seizures. Typically, an outpatient evaluation is a reasonable first step.
As explained above, most staring spells are non-epileptic in nature. When patients present with staring spells, practitioners should explain to caregivers that the differential diagnosis includes seizures, but they should avoid giving a specific diagnosis of "absence seizures" before the EEG evaluation is completed.
Requesting caregivers to take videos of staring spells can be very useful, as this can help characterize them. Event calendars/logs can assist in understanding the frequency, pattern, and possible triggers.
Caregivers of children with CAE should know that generalized tonic-clonic seizures are rare. For this reason, rescue medications such as rectal diazepam and intranasal midazolam are not routinely prescribed. Nevertheless, caregivers should be taught what to do if the child has a generalized tonic-clonic seizure.
Caregivers often assume that, since absence seizures are very brief, they are harmless. Occasionally, they question the need to treat with medications, arguing that the risks could outweigh the benefits. In these situations, we recommend explaining that the child is experiencing frequent episodes of altered consciousness that can increase the risk of accidents. Seizures can also interfere with learning and negatively impact school performance.
Activities like swimming, diving, or rock climbing should only be permitted under supervision.
Driving is not permitted if seizures are not controlled with medications.
Absence epilepsy is primary generalized epilepsy.
It is classified as a typical or atypical absence, depending on seizure characteristics and EEG patterns.
Absence seizures are characterized by behavioral arrest and EEG showing 3-Hertz spike-and-wave discharges. Episodes usually occur multiple times per day.
Absence seizures are seen in several generalized epilepsies, including childhood absence epilepsy, juvenile absence epilepsy, and juvenile myoclonic epilepsy.
Episodes of behavioral arrest should be called "staring spells" until an EEG evaluation is performed. Patients can only be diagnosed with absence epilepsy if they have characteristic seizure semiology and EEG findings.
Staring spells can be epileptic or non-epileptic, with the majority being non-epileptic. When episodes are epileptic in nature, they may be due to absence seizures or focal seizures with impaired awareness (complex partial seizures)
The first-line treatment for absence seizures is ethosuximide. Other therapies include valproate, lamotrigine, and topiramate. Second-line medications that can be used as adjunct therapy include zonisamide and levetiracetam.
Carbamazepine, phenytoin, gabapentin, vigabatrin, and other medications with similar mechanisms of action can worsen absence epilepsy.
Approximately 60% of patients with childhood absence epilepsy eventually achieve seizure freedom.
Lack of response to ethosuximide and the presence of generalized tonic-clonic seizures have been associated with a lack of seizure remission and life-long epilepsy.
A neurologist should be the lead in managing absence seizures. However, the long-term care and monitoring are done by an interprofessional team that includes the neurologist (child neurologist in the case of the pediatric population), primary care provider, nurse, and pharmacist.
The pharmacist should educate the patient on the importance of medication compliance. In addition, the pharmacist should ask about any adverse reaction at the time of dispensing the medication. The caregiver should be asked if the symptoms are controlled; if not, the pharmacist should communicate with the interprofessional team about the need for a change in the agent used or dosage.
The primary care practitioner, together with the neurologist, should follow up on the liver function tests, amylase, and complete blood count. In addition, birth control should be managed in women taking valproic acid. Finally, drug levels should be monitored periodically as these drugs have a narrow therapeutic index. This is where a pharmacy consult is crucial; the pharmacist can verify dosing, check for drug interactions, and counsel nurses, patients, clinicians, and families regarding potential adverse events. The interprofessional team care model represents the optimal approach to providing care and managing these patients. [Level 5]
A few patients with intractable absence epilepsy may be candidates for the ketogenic diet. If this is the case, a registered dietician with expertise in this diet should be consulted and periodically evaluate the patient.
Finally, mental health providers may be involved in the patient's care as many of these patients develop anxiety, depression, and stress.
Most patients need lifelong follow-up, and the interprofessional team must communicate with each other at any time when there is a change in drug dose, change in drug type, or development of adverse drug reactions.

The Jin Mao Tower, literally "Golden Prosperity Building" is an 88-story landmark skyscraper in the Lujiazui area of the Pudong district of Shanghai, China.
It contains offices and the Grand Hyatt Shanghai hotel. Until 2007 it was the tallest building in China, the fifth tallest in the world by roof height and the seventh tallest by pinnacle height. Along with the Oriental Pearl Tower, it is part of the Pudong skyline. Its height was surpassed on September 14, 2007 by the Shanghai World Financial Center which is next to the building. The Shanghai Tower, a 128-story building located next to these two buildings is even taller.

Where Will The Arab World Be 15 Years From Now?
By Khaled Almaeena / / 13 July 2015
Khaled Almaeena
The modern Middle East is passing through one of the most turbulent periods in its history. Bloodshed, internecine conflicts, absence of state actors and no moral authority have all contributed to the total chaos that has made the most optimistic well wisher of the Arabs plunge into the depths of despair. We are in 2015. How will the Middle East look in 2030 asked an American analyst. Well it all depends on various socio-economic factors. And these depend on the political situation in the area. For without stability and security there can be no progress or development. This is something we have to look into seriously. The factors that will decide our fate will be population control, oil prices, alternative energy and water and food security. If we are semi-independent in addressing these issues we can be hopeful for a better future. It would be disastrous if we end up with bands of jobless young men roaming around to be easily picked up by some future murderous cult. On a larger note, the Middle East including Egypt and the Levant, which are connected to the Israel-Palestine conflict, will still remain key players and can act as partners in a peace process. Any further delay in a peace process will deprive the area of stability and usher further chaos that the people of the region have had enough of. Meanwhile, to solve their problems the Arabs will have to travel alone. Too much focus on the United States will get us nowhere as their grand strategy is to move towards SE Asia where it will increase its involvement because of economic gains. Therefore in order to survive and to be viable the Arabs have to do some serious thinking and ask themselves: Are there leaders up to the task of good governance? Can they erase at least some of the ills like sectarianism, corruption and injustice? Can they defend themselves locally without running to Uncle Sam for a nuclear deterrence? They should not forget that nuclear weapons are firmly intertwined with conventional weapons. Can there be at least a GCC command and control system for its defense forces? Will the West allow the Arabs to independently develop a peaceful nuclear program? Strategic deterrence in the Middle East can be assured more so by equality in conventional weapons vis-a-vis Israel and by a strong alliance. The US is not expected to be an ally because of its heavy pro-Israel tilt. We Arabs should realize this once and for all. And so to be prepared for the future we need to depend on ourselves and find the right partners and the political framework to ensure our existence. Let Arab strategists prepare from now. — Reprinted with permission of the Saudi Gazette and Khaled Almaeena. The writer is Editor-at-Large.

"He's the type of player you hate to play against but love to have on your team because you'll find him in the corners, in front of the net, creating space for other players on the team, drawing the opponents into penalties, and taking it on the chin every single night."
The Montreal Canadiens Geoff Molson triggered the red-alert protocol, making notable changes by ousting the well-dressed GM Marc Bergevin and the oft draft-failure criticized, Assistant GM, Trevor Timmins, amoung other front-office staff. Changes at the top often signals a myriad of shock waves in any situation; I've never seen one where status quo continues within the rest of the organization. So, with 26 games into the 2021-22 season and the team sporting a .230 winning percentage, perhaps one of those forthcoming changes is to trade the popular, gritty, and maturing Brendan Gallagher.
Some Canadiens fans will squawk at the idea of losing perhaps what they consider the heart of the team, who may be on the short, very short list of players to be named captain as the Shea Weber long term injury plays out. The reality is that Gallagher, in his 10th NHL season is generously on pace for a 31-point season with the HABS, which would be amoung his lowest productions in a full NHL season. Gallagher has reached the 30-goal mark twice in his career, the last time in 2018-19 and is on-pace for 12 goals this season, which would be his 2nd lowest total by 2 goals since the 2016 season where he only played 64 games.
There is no doubt that statistics that can't be measured in goals and assists is heart, soul, and work ethic. There are some players that just make players around them better, stronger, more confident, and inspire leadership qualities. Those are the things that make Brendan Gallagher's value rise above the perhaps declining scoreboard numbers. He's the type of player you hate to play against but love to have on your team because you'll find him in the corners, in front of the net, creating space for other players on the team, drawing the opponents into penalties, and taking it on the chin every single night. It is however the kind of hockey style that is akin to shorter hockey careers because of the wear and tear on the body and he's already had a few injuries throughout the years. Gallagher can still play that heart and soul role, while adding secondary scoring for a few more years. The question for the Canadiens is if they should utilize those services as they re-build, or cash them in as part of the re-build.
There is a popular opinion on social media and amoung some media faithful that Gallagher should be named the next captain, which would make total sense if the Canadiens weren't on day 1 of a re-build plan that will optimistically take a minimum of three years to yield encouraging results, making Gallagher 34 years old. With the Canadiens facing a cap crunch, Gallagher's $6.5 million cap hit through to age 35 by the 2027-28 season deserves some consideration as part of the evaluation to keep or move him. This off-season the HABS declined to match the offer-sheet on Jesperi Kotkaniemi (KK) for $6.1 million. KK is on pace for a 29-point season – only 2 points off Gallagher's pace at .4 million less. Arguably, he doesn't bring the other tangibles to the table, but he's also 10 years younger and averaging about five minutes of ice time less than Gallagher per game. The Gallagher contract seems less appealing when you factor in this comparison along with age, durability, and declining numbers on a Canadiens team that is clearly in a re-build.
Unless the Canadiens plan includes Gallagher having a reduced role and support of similar ilk on a team with legitimate top 6 forwards, keeping him will be a missed opportunity to collect assets now. His value over the next few years will become more on leadership and culture, but that's an expensive contract for those services, when you consider players similar to Corey Perry who carry a cap-hit of $1 million annually and can bring a similar style of play.
Moving Brendan Gallagher to a contender, while collecting assets might be unpopular amoung the fans, especially those who want to see him wear the "C", but it would also be a nice in-kind gesture to a guy who has worn the CH proudly and carried the torch to have an opportunity to win something as he approaches the back end of his hockey career. Besides, the idea of trading away another player after he is named captain on the Canadiens just doesn't seem like it would be a real change in the culture of the team.

SpatialCover Land Cover Connecticut is a high resolution (1 meter) land cover data product that provides baseline land cover information for the state of Connecticut in multiple formats to support different land management applications. It is derived from 1 meter, 4 band color infrared imagery flown between July 3, 2016 and August 3, 2016 as part of the National Agriculture Imagery Program (NAIP). Additionally statewide LIDAR data flown in 2016 was used to aid the classification process. Over 2 terabytes of LIDAR and aerial imagery were processed for the state through EarthDefine's high performance Geographic Object-Based Image Analysis (GEOBIA) processing platform to create the land cover layer.
The SpatialCover Land Cover Connecticut dataset supports numerous applications for urban planning, forest inventory, stormwater management, environmental impact assessment and conservation.
EarthDefine used a Geographic Object-Based Image Analysis (GEOBIA) processing workflow to create the SpatialCover Land Cover Connecticut dataset. Multiple ancillary datasets including transportation framework vectors, TIGER demographic data, hydrological, cadastral and terrain data were used along with color infrared aerial imagery to develop an object based classification workflow. LIDAR data was used to develop the tree class and derive buildings that were added to the impervious class. Over 286.2 million image-objects were created from over 5,033 square miles of 1 meter resolution source imagery and classified through the GEOBIA platform to create a 6-class classification with an overall accuracy of 96.5%.

WORLD Two people burned to death in latest California wildfire
Two people burned to death in latest California wildfire
07:01, August 02, 2022
Two people were burned to death in raging wildfires near California's border with Oregon, authorities said on Monday as evacuations continue.
Flames burn to the Klamath River during the McKinney Fire in the Klamath National Forest northwest of Yreka, California, on July 31, 2022. /DAVID MCNEW / AFP
According to the Siskiyou County Sheriff's Office, the two bodies were found on Sunday in a car parked in a residential driveway west of the community of Klamath River.
The fire broke out on Friday and has destroyed homes and other property, forcing at least 2,000 residents to evacuate.
The fire that began on Friday, together with two other fires, has spread to 1,700 acres combined.
More than two decades of drought and rising temperatures, exacerbated by climate change, have made California more vulnerable than ever to wildfires. The two most devastating years on record were in 2020 and 2021 based on the number of acres burned.

Study: Capital Gains Tax Reform Could Benefit North Carolina
By Roy Cordato
In 2013, North Carolina instituted sweeping tax reforms, making its tax system more efficient. It created a single-rate system, bringing both the top rate of 7.75 percent and the bottom rate of 6 percent down to a flat rate of 5.75 percent.
In addition, lawmakers broadened the base of the tax, eliminating many special privileges in the code, and reduced the corporate income tax. They also used the tax reform process to reduce the overall tax burden on North Carolinians, allowing taxpayers from all income groups to keep more of their earned income.
Bias Against Entrepreneurship
All these reforms are good for the economy. In addition to transferring more money from political control to the private sector, meaning from less-efficient to more-efficient uses, the changes in the rates and the base reduce the tax system's bias against saving, investment, and entrepreneurship.
However, one important area of the state's tax code was left unreformed: the treatment of capital gains. Doing so would be a logical next step in North Carolina's movement toward a truly efficient tax system, one without special penalties for investment and entrepreneurship, such as those in the current code.
Capital gains taxes, like all taxes on investment returns, impose a second layer of taxation on investment, and therefore entrepreneurship. Capital gains are the increase in value of an equity investment.
This kind of investment includes anything from stocks and bonds to a plot of land or one's home or business. For example, if a person invests in stock costing $5,000, and 10 years later he sells that stock for $10,000, his capital gain would be $5,000.
Currently, the $5,000 gain would be taxed at the same rate as regular income. At the federal level and in other states, however, capital gains are taxed at a lower rate or not at all.
The reason for such tax treatment is what happens when both an initial investment and the return on that investment, in this case the capital gain, are taxed. Let's assume that, in our example, the $5,000 used to invest stocks began as $5,555 in pre-tax income and $555 in taxes.
Without the tax, the investor could have made a $5,555 investment. After the tax, however, the investment was reduced to $5,000. The value of the stock the individual could purchase was thus reduced by 10 percent. Everything else equal, thereturn that could be generated from that investment was also reduced by 10 percent.
To tax the gain is to reduce the investment return a second time. Taxing capital gains is a form of double taxation: once when the initial investment is taxed, and again when the gain on that investment is taxed.
The most straightforward way to eliminate this double taxation is to completely eliminate the tax on capital gains. Although there are no U.S. states that do this, a number of other places do, including Belgium, New Zealand, and, not surprisingly, the leading world financial hub of Hong Kong.
Baby Steps, If Not Leaps
If eliminating double taxation entirely is too politically difficult or poses fiscal concerns, lawmakers can at least to reduce the size of the problem by following the national government's approach and taxing capital gains less than ordinary income.
The national government taxes capital gains at about half the rate applied to regular income. Using this as a model, North Carolina could have a capital gains tax of about 2.9 percent.
An alternative approach used by a number of states is to exempt a certain amount of capital gains from taxation. For example, South Carolina allows taxpayers to exempt 44 percent of their capital gains from taxation, and Wisconsin excludes 30 percent.
Whatever the North Carolina legislature does in this regard, it must do something. The current approach is a relic from the state's old tax system and is inconsistent with North Carolina's new and economically more sensible approach to tax policy.

Thom Yorke and Nigel Godrich Adorably Answer Questions for Teen Girls
Laura Beck
Filed to:kids these days
The delightful Rookie Mag regularly asks its teen readers to send in questions to "Ask a Grown Woman" and "Ask a Grown Man" and then gets grown women and grown men to answer them. I wish this had been around when I was 14, but oh well. I had Sassy — I got by.
This episode shows Radiohead's Thom Yorke* and music producer Nigel Godrich, who are both in the band Atoms For Peace, offering sound relationship and love advice to young ladies. It's incredibly sweet, and they're both quite fanciable (read: British).
It's cool that the older guys are able to talk to the teen girls like they're people (cause they are!), and the bit when Yorke goes on about his lazy eye is hilarious and awesome. Plus, "And don't worry about the deodorant, for starters," is the best first date advice, ever.

1979 Aston Martin V8
Bonhams - The Zoute Sale 2021
Knokke-Heist, 10 October
V8C0L15040
V540/5040/LFM
1979 Aston Martin V8 Volante
Chassis no. V8C0L15040
Engine no. V540/5040/LFM
Aston Martin had always intended the DBS to house its new V8 engine, but production difficulties meant that the car first appeared with the DB6's 4.0-liter six. Bigger and more luxuriously appointed than the DB6, the heavyweight DBS disappointed some by virtue of its slightly reduced performance, but there were no complaints when the V8 finally arrived in 1969. With an estimated 315bhp available from its 5,340cc four-cam engine, the DBS V8 could reach 160km/h in under 14 seconds, running on to a top speed of 250km/h, a staggering performance in those days and one which fully justified the claim that it was the fastest production car in the world. After Aston Martin's acquisition by Company Developments in 1972, production resumed with the Series 2, now known as the Aston Martin V8 and distinguishable by a restyled front end recalling the looks of earlier Astons. The most successful Aston Martin ever, the V8 survived the changes of ownership and financial upheavals of the 1970s, enjoying a record-breaking production run lasting from 1969 to 1988, with 2,919 cars sold.
Described by former Aston Martin Chairman Victor Gauntlett as 'a stylish thoroughbred, beautifully built, luxurious, fast and immensely safe,' the V8 was built in several variants, one of the most exclusive being the Volante Convertible. Introduced in response to customer demand for such a car, the Volante first appeared in June 1978. Arguably the ultimate in soft-top luxury, the newcomer boasted a lined, power-operated top which, when erected, endowed the walnut embellished interior with all the solidity and refinement associated with the saloon version. Although its open-car aerodynamics meant that top speed suffered with the top down, the Volante's 240km/h maximum nevertheless ranked it among the world's fastest convertibles. V8 Volante and Vantage Volante chassis numbers ran from '15001' to '15849', a total of 849 cars.
THE MOTORCAR OFFERED
According to copies of Aston Martin's factory build records, this elegant V8 Volante was hand built at Aston Martin's Newport Pagnell plant during the fall of 1978 and is titled as 1979. The car received the final inspections in January 1979, and then shipped from the UK to its destination, the US. The car was equipped with left-hand-drive steering and the desirable 5-speed manual transmission. It was finished in Cambridge Blue over a Natural coloured leather interior, Onslow brown carpeting, just as it appears today. It was the 40th V8 Volante built and as such an early example it received the elegant chrome bumpers, neatly fitted tightly to the Volante body. It is believed that only a maximum of 10 of these 40 early cars were fitted with the desirable manual transmission.
The car's first owner was a FedEx executive and from the 1990s until 2016 the car was retained by Aston Martin enthusiast Mr. Jack Miller of Pittsburg, PA, who would display the beautiful V8 Volante at various Aston Martin gatherings. The car's extensive history and maintenance file includes much service work performed during Mr. Miller's ownership, including the installment of a new exhaust by renowned Aston Martin shop Steel Wings and a rebuilt braking system.
Today this well restored Aston Martin on a highly original basis shows less than 25,000 miles on the odometer, a figure that is indeed believed to be original and can be traced in the history file. Acquired by the vendor in 2017 the car was imported to Europe where restoration work for a total of approximately CHF100,000 was carried out on mechanicals, the body and paint, new trim and was recently fitted with a new convertible top in dark blue, with the work done to exacting factory standards. A solid and very well cared for car, close inspection of the V8 reveals many original finishes throughout. Complete with jack and tools, an owner's handbook with an original warranty booklet and a history file containing correspondence with Aston Martin and copies of the factory build records, this fine V8 Volante must be considered well-pedigreed. The car is EU duty paid and comes with its US title and EU duty paid import certificate. Bonhams recommends close inspection of this fine example of a true drophead V8 'British Bulldog'.

Credit Consolidation: Debt consolidation , in short , is to obtain another loan in order to pay off all your other , small loans. This choice may be strange , but it does have advantages. Smaller installments of the past loan raise the overall interest payable. Debt consolidation will help repay all of these loans in a single shot and thus the interest payable is very less. That by itself is an instantaneous benefit. With that , if you have personal assets for instance a property , you can get a much better deal.
Its vital that the burden of loan should not rise once the previous ones are paid back. To get acceptance for the loan , there are stringent policies , which after satisfied perfectly , the loan is authorized , or rather will get declined.
So as to get debt consolidation loan , the initial requirement is your pay. One needs to have the ability to repay the sum of money taken as loan. Every provider has its own set of guidelines to give out loans. The ratio between the loan taken and the income is set and the individual should be able to meet this criterion. Disposable income is the income remaining after deduction of taxes and social security charges , for sale to be spent or invested as one would like , and for debt consolidation loan approval , a person should have minimum 15% income as disposable income.
Next is your credit score. The service provider who is planning to offer you such a huge sum of money has to make sure you will repay it. They record your credit score by your pay records . This basically means , how efficient you have been earlier with repayment. If you've been paying all of your debts , loans , and invoices in a timely manner , you don't need to worry about this part.
Job assurance and house is in addition an important criterion for getting a debt consolidation loan. If you have not changed your work in the last 12 months and are also living in the exact same residence , you will have an additional benefit in getting your loan sanctioned. This has more to do with the type of nature and attitude you have , if you are able to remain in just one place , be it job or home for over 12 months , there are way more chances of you paying back the loan , since you are steady in life.
Another criterion of preference is the amount of assets you have. This doesn't totally restrict your possibilities for loan approval.
Now that you have a thorough notion about debt consolidation and the method , don't waste time and get our debt consolidation service quickly. Credit Consolidation Your Problem in Cambridge ON Apply Now.

Gillian Anderson is most famous for her roles as FBI Agent Dana Scully in ground-breaking sci-fi series "The X-Files" and Lady Dedlock in the BBC TV series "Bleak House". Anderson has won several awards for her portrayal of Agent Scully, including an Emmy Award, Golden Globe, and two SAG awards for Best Actress in a Drama Series.
She also had a supporting role in the English-language release of Hayao Miyazaki's "Princess Mononoke", where she voiced the character of the wolf Moro.


The Performance Series is truly exquisite in its design. After the unique shells go through the 3D printing process, the Universal IEMs are then, one pair at a time, finished and assembled in the JHA facility. Unlike other manufacturers that only match their IEMs within 3db +/- of their reference curves, JH Audio tests and matches their Universal IEMs to within an astounding 1db +/- of their reference curve. This level of attention to detail is simply unheard in this industry.
JH16V2 is equipped with SoundrIVe Technology, using Jerry Harvey Audio's proprietary mini quad drivers. The JH16V2 has a 10 driver configuration: quad drivers for the lows, dual drivers for the mids, and quad drivers for the highs. The FreqPhase corrects time and phase of multiple drivers. The waveguide ensures each driver signal arrives within 0.01 milliseconds, leading to a Phase coherent IEM.
You can control the low frequency drivers with the adjustable bass (0 - +10dB) from the cable itself. Frequency ranges from flat bass response up to +10dB (10Hz to 100Hz). The 4-pin cable connection from Moon Audio, that's known for their incredible cables, provide a more secure and strong connection with the earpiece. It also helps to protect it from sweat and dust.
JH Audio is renowned worldwide for their custom IEMs that provide deep bass response and excellent sonic performance. With this kind of expertise, it was only natural that the engineers fine tune their Universal IEMs fit-wise, to be as close to Custom IEMs as possible. JH Audio's guys analyzed over 30,000 sets of ear molds in their Orlando Lab to find similarities in order to create the Performance Series IEMs. What they found was that most of the sound bores on Custom IEMs bore a similarity of having a 10% angle. Having identified this, JH Audio made the necessary sound bore adjustments and refined the shape of the ear bowl and helix area. The result? A Universal IEM that fits and seals almost as well as a Custom IEM.
JH Audio just invested in their very own 3D printing system that cost them a quarter of a million dollars. Whew! This investment has surely paid off as we've not seen more gorgeous looking IEMs anywhere. Every single angle on the new Performance Series 3D shell has been carefully redesigned to be smaller and fit all kinds of ear sizes more naturally. The Performance Series IEMs and their fancy new shells give a perfect seal for a comfy fit every time.
Everything about the JH Audio Performance Series of Universal IEMs is stunning. Its new custom black pearl faceplates are adorned with oversized JH logos which you'd think look too over-the-top, but actually look pretty darn good-looking! The JH16V2 has an impressive and sophisticated crossover network. This crossover circuit combined with the Freqphase waveguide and new proprietary quad drivers deliver an audio quality that is perfect for the recording studio, or for listening to exactly what the mixer/producer and band wanted you to hear, mixing your own tracks or performing live.

La prima stagione de I Fantastici Quattro è andata in onda negli Stati Uniti nel 1994 ed è composta da 13 episodi.

L'origine dei super poteri
 Titolo originale: The Origin of the Fantastic Four - Part One
 Prima TV Stati Uniti: 24 settembre 1994

Il supergruppo dei Fantastici Quattro, formato da Reed Richards, Susan "Sue" Storm, Johnny Storm e Benjamin "Ben" Grimm, altresì noti come Mister Fantastic, la Donna Invisibile, la Torcia Umana e la Cosa, sono ospiti a un programma televisivo nel quale raccontano di come abbiano ottenuto i loro superpoteri dopo essere entrati in contatto con dei raggi cosmici durante una missione spaziale. Spiegano poi di come, successivamente, abbiano dovuto affrontare il Burattinaio, un criminale in grado di modellare delle statuette d'argilla con le quali riesce a comandare le persone, e così, dopo averne creata una con le sembianze della Cosa, riesce a renderlo un suo servitore. Successivamente riesce anche a rapire la Donna Invisibile, travestendo la sua figliastra Alicia come lei, in modo che prenda il suo posto.

L'origine dei super poteri - Seconda parte
 Titolo originale: The Origin of the Fantastic Four - Part II
 Prima TV Stati Uniti: 1º ottobre 1994

I Fantastici Quattro continuano il loro racconto, spiegando che dopo l'accaduto la Cosa è stato risvegliato dall'ipnosi e Alicia ha rivelato la verità, così il Burattinaio si è dato alla fuga. Riesce dunque a raggiungere Alicia, che nel frattempo si è trasferita per stare lontana dal patrigno. Il suddetto riesce tuttavia a trovarla, e la figliastra comincia così a protestare per le sue azioni. Il Burattinaio finisce poi col cadere giù da una finestra ma, a seguito di ciò, scompare misteriosamente.

Il regno di Atlantide
 Titolo originale: Now Comes the Sub-Mariner
 Prima TV Stati Uniti: 8 ottobre 1994

Namor, principe di Atlantide e di tutti i mari, durante un viaggio sulla terraferma (per protestare del fatto che la gente inquini i mari) si innamora di Sue, e così la rapisce portandola nel suo regno. A seguito di ciò Dorma, suddita di Namor e innamorata di lui, si ingelosisce e decide di allearsi col subdolo Krang, desideroso di conquistare il titolo di Namor. Krang attacca così la terraferma e, per fermarlo, Namor dovrà allearsi coi Fantastici Quattro, che riescono a sconfiggerlo. Dorma, resasi conto del suo errore, rimane ferita in battaglia, ma Mister Fantastic riesce a guarirla appena in tempo.

L'invasione degli Skrull
 Titolo originale: Incursion of the Skrull
 Prima TV Stati Uniti: 15 ottobre 1994

I Fantastici Quattro vengono incarcerati venendo accusati di aver compiuto diversi crimini. Il gruppo riesce a evadere di prigione e si rende conto che i colpevoli sono in realtà degli Skrull, ovvero degli alieni in grado di trasformarsi. Mister Fantastic si infiltra quindi tra gli Skrull, fingendosi uno di loro trasformato, e riesce a convincerli a lasciare stare i terrestri, ritenendoli troppo pericolosi.

Una fame senza fine
 Titolo originale: Silver Surfer and the Coming of Galactus - Part I
 Prima TV Stati Uniti: 22 ottobre 1994

I Fantastici Quattro ricevono la visita di Uatu l'Osservatore, un essere spaziale che li avverte che Galactus, il divoratore di mondi, una creatura che si ciba dell'essenza vitale dei pianeti, si sta dirigendo verso la Terra. Per evitare che ciò accada Uatu tenta di far credere a Silver Surfer, l'araldo di Galactus, che sulla Terra non ci sia vita, fallendo. Silver Surfer avverte Galactus, che giunge sulla Terra. Uatu cerca di convincerlo a non prosciugare la vita del pianeta spiegandogli che vi sono ormai forme di vita molto evolute. Galactus in effetti non vorrebbe cibarsi di mondi così evoluti, ma se non lo facesse morirebbe, così si prepara a cibarsi della vita presente sulla Terra.

Una fame senza fine - Seconda parte
 Titolo originale: The Silver Surfer and the Coming of Galactus - Part 2
 Prima TV Stati Uniti: 29 ottobre 1994

Silver Surfer incontra Alicia, grazie alla quale conosce la bellezza della Terra e, per questo motivo, tenta di convincere Galactus a non cibarsi della vita sul pianeta, senza successo. Successivamente Uatu guida la Torcia Umana nell'astronave di Galactus fino a trovare l'unica arma che potrebbe sconfiggerlo. Dopo essere stato minacciato con tale arma Galactus si convince che tentare di cibarsi di quel pianeta gli abbia soltanto fatto perdere tempo, senza che ne fosse valsa la pena, e decide quindi di andarsene. Per punire Silver Surfer del suo comportamento decide di abbandonarlo sulla Terra, impedendogli di seguirlo nuovamente. Nonostante ciò Silver Surfer non è per niente pentito di ciò che ha fatto.

L'ultima sfida
 Titolo originale: Super Skrull
 Prima TV Stati Uniti: 5 novembre 1994

Gli Skrull si rendono conto dell'inganno subito da Mister Fantastic e perciò mandano contro di loro Super-Skrull, uno Skrull che ha i superpoteri di tutti i Fantastici Quattro, ma potenziati. Dopo un'iniziale sconfitta Mister Fantastic si rende conto che deve la sua forza a un segnale che gli viene mandato dall'astronave degli Skrull. Così i supereroi riescono a posizionargli in testa un dispositivo che blocca tale segnale, riuscendo così a sconfiggerlo mettendolo in trappola all'interno di un vulcano.

La maschera del Dottor Destino
 Titolo originale: The Mask of Doom - Part I
 Prima TV Stati Uniti: 12 novembre 1994

I Fantastici Quattro vengono rapiti dal Dottor Destino, un malvagio conoscente di Reed che indossa una maschera di metallo. Il Dottor Destino fa portare i quattro nel suo castello, dove li rinchiude in alcune trappole. Durante la cena fa liberare la Donna Invisibile, perché vada a mangiare con lui e, nel frattempo, i restanti tre supereroi riescono a fuggire dalle trappole.

La maschera del Dottor Destino - Seconda parte
 Titolo originale: The Mask of Doom - Part II
 Prima TV Stati Uniti: 19 novembre 1994

Sue fa distrarre il Dottor Destino, che le racconta di come, dopo l'assassinio dei suoi genitori, sia andato all'università (dove ha conosciuto Reed), rimanendo vittima di un suo esperimento, che gli ha sfigurato il volto e, a seguito dell'accaduto, ha giurato vendetta verso l'intera umanità. Nel frattempo Mister Fantastic, la Torcia Umana e la Cosa riescono a fuggire, ma Destino riesce a metterli nuovamente in trappola. Il suddetto ordina loro di tornare indietro nel tempo in Grecia grazie a un macchinario da lui inventato, per recuperare il Sarcofago di Argo, che contiene un potente manufatto, minacciando altrimenti di uccidere Sue, che è imprigionata in una trappola.

La maschera del Dottor Destino - Terza parte
 Titolo originale: The Mask of Doom - Part III
 Prima TV Stati Uniti: 26 novembre 1994

Mister Fantastic, la Torcia Umana e la Cosa si vedono costretti a ubbidire a Destino, e vanno così nell'antica Grecia. Lì il gruppo riesce a recuperare il Sarcofago di Argo e così, dopo il loro ritorno, Destino libera Sue, convinto tuttavia che, grazie al sarcofago, possa ora dominare il mondo. Si accorge tuttavia che ciò non è vero poiché il sarcofago è vuoto, in quanto il gruppo ha perso il manufatto. A quel punto il Dottor Destino se ne va, promettendo però di ritornare.

Il regno dell'Uomo Talpa
 Titolo originale: Mole Man
 Prima TV Stati Uniti: 3 dicembre 1994

Il misterioso Uomo Talpa, che vive in un "regno" sotterraneo, fa sprofondare numerosi edifici sottoterra grazie a un macchinario. Dato che teme che i Fantastici Quattro possano dargli del filo da torcere, fa sprofondare un edificio del Rockefeller Center nel quale il gruppo si trovava per una festa, con l'intento di catturarli. I quattro riescono però a fuggire dopo che Mister Fantastic imposta il macchinario dell'Uomo Talpa per far sprofondare il suo stesso regno. Come risultato gli edifici tornano in superficie, mentre l'Uomo Talpa rimane sottoterra.

I mostri della zona negativa
 Titolo originale: Behold the Negative Zone
 Prima TV Stati Uniti: 10 dicembre 1994

Dopo che un esperimento di Reed viene interrotto bruscamente, si apre nel suo laboratorio un portale che collega la Terra alla Zona Negativa, una dimensione parallela formata di antimateria. Dal portale escono Annihilus e Blastaar, due mostri intenzionati a conquistare la Terra. Dato che il portale si è richiuso, i Fantastici Quattro devono ricreare alla perfezione le circostanze con le quali si è aperto e, una volta che ciò è accaduto di nuovo, il gruppo intrappola i due mostri e li rispedisce da dove sono venuti.

Silver Surfer e il ritorno di Galactus
 Titolo originale: The Silver Surfer and the Return of Galactus
 Prima TV Stati Uniti: 17 dicembre 1994

I Fantastici Quattro e Silver Surfer trovano nello spazio l'astronave di Galactus, e ci entrano per capire cosa ci faccia lì. Il gruppo scopre allora che si trattava in realtà di una trappola del Dottor Destino, che riesce ad assorbire i superpoteri galattici di Silver Surfer, grazie ai quali ha intenzione di dominare il mondo. Il gruppo di supereroi risolve il problema richiamando l'attenzione di Galactus e spiegandogli la situazione. Il suddetto, ritenendo sacrilego il fatto che qualcuno abbia rubato a Silver Surfer i poteri che lui stesso gli aveva donato, li restituisce al suo ex araldo e successivamente spedisce il Dottor Destino nello spazio.

Calligraphy and the lettering arts enhance life with beauty, artistic satisfaction and useful skill, as well as delightful connections to art, literature, design, and other cultures. For more than 30 years, the Triangle Calligraphers' Guild (TCG) has promoted the lettering arts here in the Triangle area and eastern North Carolina. Our members are calligraphers of all levels of interest and skill, from beginners and dabblers to part-time artists and full-time pros, and we all learn from each other.
Facebook for Triangle Calligraphers Guild!
Come see our talented member Ann Erickson's calligraphy exhibit!
Artist's Reception: April 27, 2018 6-8 pm.
Show will exhibit through June 23, 2018.
The exhibit shows some of the varied applications of Calligraphy as an art form. Whereas calligraphy is often relegated to the wedding industry, to "crafting" orientations, or thought of as emanating from dusty scriptoriums, it is finally accepted today as fine art.
As a professional calligrapher for more than 35 years, Ann has used her gifts to produce illuminated manuscripts, resolutions, poems, quotes and scripture verses, as well as all aspects of wedding work. Illuminating with gold leaf is her favorite.

Solstice Protests
By Jack Nicholls, on 4 July 2019
On the longest night of the year, thousands of impassioned citizens gathered in capital cities across Australia, to protest the Adani Mine and call on our state and federal governments to declare a Climate Emergency.
In Melbourne, five hundred Extinction Rebellion protestors blocked the central intersection of Bourke and Swanston street. They held it for ninety minutes.
With drums and cheers and awkward smiles, a succession of speakers took turns at the microphone, building a web of connections between Extinction Rebellion and other causes. Among others, Indigenous activist Gary Foley reminded us that civil disobedience in Australia has a proud history, and said that he was standing with us in the name of his children and grandchildren; Dr Christine Canty gave a very human speech about the difficulty of balancing competing work, family and political demands; while Kath Larkin offered a unionist perspective on climate justice. The speeches were passionate, smart, and sometimes contradictory; inevitable in a decentralised movement. The point of Extinction Rebellion is not to enforce an environmental orthodoxy, but just to get everyone pulling in the same direction.
It only takes a moment of rebellion to change how we see our world, and as soon as the streets were blocked passers-by flowed into the space. The spatial geography of the impromptu assembly was symbolic of the challenge faced by Extinction Rebellion. Within a square of banners stood hundreds of adults, adolescents and children, committed to the cause. Beyond them were the politely-blank ranks of fluorescent police, and a milling crowd of listeners who preferred to keep a distance. People who care deeply about the Climate Emergency but perhaps do not think of themselves as radicals. That crowd ebbed or swelled at its edges as passers-by responded to what they heard, and that is the crowd that Extinction Rebellion must keep reaching out to if we are going to grow our numbers in the lead-up to major actions in October.
In the dark and spitting rain, the glowing billboards overlooking the intersection gave a cyberpunk glow to the occasion. Newsfeeds scrolling across the screen flashed the headline that the Morrison government was considering dipping into Australia's Emissions Reduction Fund to subsidise aging coal power stations. A policy suggestion that is both utterly insane and completely unsurprising in the topsy-turvy political landscape of 2019, and its utter grotesqueness was a reminder of why we had gathered. Because our leaders have relinquished the responsibilities of leadership and retreated into their own world of make-believe, it is up to us to be the adults in the room.
We chalked messages of love and rage in the intersection, before relinquishing the space. YOU HAVE MORE POWER THAN YOU THINK I wrote, hoping it would be seen by the thousands of citizens who would cross that space in the hours to come. By now the rain will have washed it away, but we will be back with growing numbers and growing confidence, expressing our demands for sanity, for co-operation, for change. We hope to see you there next time.
And in the meantime, come along to one of the Introductory Talks we hold monthly in each city. Because we can't do it alone, and it's true what the chalk-guy says – you have more power than you think.
Extinction Rebellion Australia pays respect to the Traditional Owners and Custodians who looked after this land for tens of thousands of years. We acknowledge that this land was stolen from them and that sovereignty has never been ceded.
