Sublimated clothing has become a popular alternative to traditionally printed clothing items. Apart from regular clothing items, sublimation printing is especially used these days for designing sports apparel. Dye sublimation is the process that is used for printing a variety of materials including fabric, ceramic, slate, cork, wood and much more. Dye sublimation provides high quality and durable prints on fabric, which is why most contemporary sports clothing are made using sublimated printing processes. This type of printing can also be used for creating promotional clothing items of different kinds.
Traditionally prints are fixed onto fabrics using screen printing or inkjet. In sublimation, however, the ink is fused into the fabric, which makes it long lasting. The high tech process used in sublimated printing clothing also gives the fabric a softer touch after the printing is done. In sublimated clothing items, the colors remain the same for years despite regular wash and outdoor lighting. That is why this type of printing is considered ideal for making sports clothing and school uniforms. If you are second guessing the idea of getting sublimated sports clothing items, learn how sublimation produces high quality clothing items.
No short cuts are taken when creating sublimated clothing items. The leading companies that offer sublimated products always source the highest quality raw materials and fabrics for this purpose. This is done to make sure that the end product comes out looking and feeling perfect. The well known clothing brands are always concerned about their clients' satisfaction, which is why they strive to create the best products. High quality polyesters, Lycra, and other suitable materials are used for creating sports sublimated sports clothing.
One of the best things about sublimation is that you get customization features with it. If you have some creative design ideas for the clothing items, go for a clothing company that offers custom sublimated t shirts, jerseys, shorts, and much more. With custom sublimated shirts, you can take the liberty to print any promotional design on the clothing items. That is why many brands and private companies prefer sublimated clothing for creating various types of promotional events. When done right, sublimation can actually prove to be useful for branding purposes.
So, if you are convinced about the quality and effectiveness of sublimated sports clothing items, it is time that you get in touch with a clothing manufacturer that offers this type of clothing items. Make sure you go with the reputed ones to get the highest quality products, and the best services.


This was my fifth day and seventh match at the Shere Bangla National Stadium; I had been planning to watch the first semi-final from even before the tournament started. Furthermore, Sri Lanka and West Indies have some my most favorite players. It was good way to lift my mood up after Bangladesh's disappointing exit.
I would like to say that I was neutral but I so clearly wasn't and after my 'chance' meeting with Kumar Sangakara, I didn't really have any other choice but support Sri Lanka. Plus, Sri Lanka have been playing in Bangladesh for two months or so, and I feel they have the opportunity this year to actually win the Cup. This being Sangakkara's and Mahela Jayawardene's last World T20, I genuinely believe Sri Lanka deserve to win.
Some would say Lahiru Thirimanne, some would even say it was Angelo Mathews, but I thought Lasith Malinga, the captain (even if only for the toss) was the key performer. Considering, at the end of the first over West Indies were 17 for 0, Sri Lanka were the side under pressure, but Malinga's double-wicket over put West Indies on the back foot and they weren't able to make much of a recovery after that. I don't believe West Indies would have been able to chase the total even if the hailstorm hadn't interrupted proceedings.
I was sitting right beside the Sri Lankan dug-out, we had a decent view of the Sri Lankan team particularly Malinga. That block of the Grand Stand is a very nice place to sit. However, there was a very, very annoying loudspeaker just in front of us. We actually thought we are going to become deaf tonight, it was that loud, particularly when the emcee was shouting in the middle of the overs, and it was unbearable. I would definitely want to change that. And it would have been better if the storm had waited till the end of the match.
Sunil Narine is an excellent bowler. I enjoyed the contest between him and Thirimanne at the end of the fifteenth over. I believe the pressure created from this over made Thirimanne look for more boundaries during the next, ultimately resulting in his dismissal.
The shot by Dwayne Smith in the very first over off Nuwan Kulasekara was for me the shot of the day. It looked spectacular from where I was sitting.
We are essentially not allowed to take anything into the stadiums these days. Stadium security has become just as bad as airport security checks, but my aunt managed to bring her binoculars which were very useful.
There were plenty of fans supporting both teams. I think if West Indies were playing against a non-Asian team they would have definitely been the favorites in the stadium. The stands weren't full from the beginning but the buzz built up gradually. The atmosphere was very pleasant (I left the stadium at the 10th over of the West Indian innings), although it wasn't on par with Bangladesh's games.
Neither - I prefer ODIs. While I enjoy T20s, sometimes I just feel they aren't worth it. As for Tests, well they are definitely rewarding, but the opportunity cost in this day and age is a little too high.
I would give it a grand total of 8 out of 10. I wanted to give a much higher score, but if the hail storm hadn't interrupted, there may have been more fireworks from the Windies at the end. The storm wasn't as sudden as it may have seemed on TV. Ever since the toss, when the wind blew dust in my eyes I knew rain was always on the cards. And when it rained, it pelted.
I love to watch T20 games but I only watch the ones involving my country & only with the sound down. It is a great game ruined by loud music even between balls! It gives me a headache. You don't go out to a night club & when the band rests between sets you see a game of cricket break out, so why do we have to have this thumping noise so often?
Part of the problem is the volume & the other part is the type of music played. You are never going to please everybody with the type of music played. Are people so bored these days that they cannot go 5 seconds without being "entertained"? It is an Americanism of our great sport which is not necessary.
Trust me, if you want to take the world by storm with this sport, then lose the music. If spectators want music all the time then let them take their ipods.
Sorry but I am never going to another limited over game until (if) this ever changes.
I have heard people say that they don't come to watch T20 cricket matches anymore because of the loud music between overs. It's not only very noisy but sometimes the same song keeps repeating over and over again. Also some of the music is not to their taste. You also seem to lose your concentration when you are so engrossed in the game and I wonder how the players feel about it? I think it would be really relaxing to listen to music during a break for drinks etc. when you want to stretch yourself for a few minutes before the game restarts. Sometimes too much noise and loud music can have a disastrous effect on you.
I hate those loud announcements and same song being repeated after every boundary. It is an insult to intelligence.
very interesting views. Great to note that Bangladeshi fans enjoy our beloved game. Great game, the better side won. WI great performance, but when u play against India and Sri Lanka especially in these conditions u have to minimize your mistakes. I agree the PA system with a DJ screaming is not the ideal atmosphere on a cricket ground.

An Even Stronger Voice for English care
The team at PLMR were delighted to hear the news this week that the English Community Care Association (ECCA) and the National Care Association (NCA) will be joining forces.
The new organisation, named 'Care England', will become the largest voice in the independent care sector, with a combined membership of 7,500 services. With a ticking demographic time bomb ahead of us – an estimated 19 million people will be over 65 by 2050 – this can only be a good thing for current and future generations.
In recent years, under the excellent leadership of Professor Martin Green OBE, ECCA has campaigned tirelessly for high quality independent care services, state funding that allows care providers to meet the high standards aspired to, fair pay and career structures in the sector, and for the users of care services to have genuine choice and flexibility over the type of care they receive dependent upon their needs and tastes. When older people require care and support they can often feel like they're losing their independence and becoming a burden; part of ECCA's mission and ethos has always been to ensure empowerment and choice. Through our presence in the health and social care sector PLMR has been lucky enough to work closely with ECCA over the years and we've seen just how impactful their campaigns have been.
With the expertise of ECCA and NCA now coming together, this will send a strong signal to Government that providers are proactively facing up to the challenges ahead. The merger comes as the Care Bill 2013-14 passes through Parliament, the Cavendish Review recommendations are considered and the effects of the Health and Social Care Act and Localism Act take hold.
In their press statements put out yesterday, the two Chairs, Nadra Ahmed OBE and Jane Ashcroft, acknowledged that "our sector faces a period of considerable challenge which will require robust representation on behalf of our membership." The Chief Executives, Professor Martin Green OBE and Sheila Scott OBE, added, "For the first time, we will be able to demonstrate the strength of the united purpose which has brought us together and both of us welcome the opportunity to work with as many providers as possible to deliver a representative body which will be a powerful influence in health & social care through the 21st Century."
The merger doesn't take effect until January 2014, but it is safe to say that with these people and organisations behind it, it will launch in the New Year with a bang.

The numbers can be tweaked a little bit, but at least its not that sunsfan aghanimn suggestion like permanent dragon form, or permanent metamorphosis etc.
There are more games where people can't finish their shadow blade because they have a claymore in their inventory than games where people build aghs on slark.
Doom Aghs Upgrade: Gives doom a new abilty.
Cast a demonic curse on a single hero. After 5 seconds, it deals heavy damage on the target. Damage depends on what level Doom is.
Better make it like diablo ult from hots,spawn a small circle that will explode after 3 sec at enemy hero. The explosion will stun enemy for 1/1.6/2 and damage them for 400/500/600 pure dmg with a 120 sec cd. The level is based on doom lvl.
The heroes who need a rework on their aghs are Beast Master, Spirit Breaker, and Elder Titan.
Lol beastmaster aghs. Increased cast range on a hero for whom blink dagger is core for initiation. Oh and a 25 second shorter cooldown leaving it at a Still single cast per teamfight level of once per 45 seconds.
It should just make his call of the wild thing summon an ancient monster.
Lvl?Death fit Doom so well. That isn't to say that Infernal Blade is bad, but Lvl?Death gave Doom something to cancel a Linken's. Currently, he has to buy an item to do that... or consume mud golem/purge creep.
Beastmaster can shift himself into a Ancient Monster, healing him by 100%, increasing his overall strength, unobstrucred vision (1800/1800), as well as giving him 2 new passive abilities. Duration refreshes everytime an enemy hero dies around 800 aoe on the fookin Ancient Monster. After the Ancient Monster expires, beastmaster HP and MP drops to 90%.
Legend says that even Roshan can't toe to toe with this monster. Each attack has a 30% chance to disarm an opponent for 2 seconds.
All enemy units 800 aoe around the Ancient Monster reduces their armor by 1 per seconds.
Haha. I'm just kidding with that aghs broken. Ofcourse its broken. Its just annoying that when you doom a hero and escapes, it either gets deny, or survive the ordeal.
Well that Beastmaster upgrade might be broken as hell due to his wild axe also amplify his damage and how he is literally shadow fiend and dazzle with heaven halberd. But nonetheless pretty unique. I want to create more "Tier 3" aghanim (situational good much like Medusa or anti mage like) not very good like KoTL or Invoker aghs nor unfavorable like sven or ck aghanim.


These lovely people are sharing what Chicago in the summer sounds like to them. In addition, we've asked just a few questions to know a little bit more of these fabulosos. We'll get this party started with this playlist by The Ponderers. Enjoy!
This is The Ponderers version of a summer in Chicago. It was festive, hot, cool, exciting, inviting and empowering. Like pizza, oh-so-delicious. Enjoy!

The US of A beckoned thanks to SAGE's annual gathering. This time it was in scenic Ojai Valley. I could write a tome on this exotic location but will save it for another day. It is one of the most scenic locations that I have ever seen. But I cannot let go without mentioning my visit to Bart's books.
When I first saw it on the agenda, I wondered if this was a cliché since we are publishers. I thought, how different could a bookstore be. And was I ever surprised.
It is the first bookstore that is OUTSIDE of a building. The original house is nothing but another row of bookshelves. The real deal is in the open air. The first thing to strike you is the rows of books that line the outside of the store. Yes, the outside wall. There are rows and rows of books that one can pick up and walk away. They request an honorarium of US$ 0.50 (read 50 cents) for a book but no one is policing this, no cameras, no hidden security guards, nothing! It is completely based on trust. I didn't see anyone browsing books; I thought there would be hundreds taking up the offer. And surprisingly, the bookshelves were packed! There wasn't a single empty space to squeeze in another book.
Once inside the main door, I was startled by the rows of bookshelves that had nothing but a tin shade that acts as a shield against the weather. The rain in this area, I learnt, is scanty and the sun angular. In short, a basic roof protects the books. And that is where I will stop! It has history but I will let you explore it either on the web or if you are lucky, in person.
The history tour was, however, in a different location. This was in Los Angeles, the last couple of days of my stay in the US.
My good friend Jawahar Khwaja volunteered to be my tour guide. I am blessed to have friends like him. He took me to see the Queen Mary, the ocean liner of yore that now stands docked at Long Beach California. The surprising part of visiting this city on water was the Russian Scorpion class submarine parked right next to it. I was thrilled to bits when I knew we could tour this. We were both in agreement, we needed to see it first. A few days ago I had seen an even earlier submarine, a smaller one, and only from the outside. This was the USS Croaker parked in Buffalo, NY. But on to the Scorpion Class Russian submarine.
The entrance was through a gift shop (what else could you expect from the greatest merchandisers on the planet, the AMERICANS!). I didn't pay any attention to the vast array of items there; I wanted to see the sub first. The entrance to the sub is down a narrow flight of steps very near the front. I descended and was instantly in the torpedo room. This was the room in which stood 6 dummy torpedoes in very real torpedo chambers. My first sense was of awe, amazement and reverence. Where I stood today once stood a bunch of submariners whose only job was to fire torpedoes – Russians, humans, robots that followed orders. I wondered if they knew their enemy, if they fathomed the damage they could cause, would cause, or had caused. I examined with great detail the length of the torpedo, the openly displayed torpedo chamber and then I stopped. I looked around the room and couldn't find a door to get to the rest of the submarine. And then I spotted it, a small round opening behind the stairs that I had earlier descended seemed to be the missing doorway. The opening wasn't large, must have been around 30" in diameter but I could easily pass through it into the next chamber. This was clearly the middle section of the submarine. It was small, cramped and yet amazing in the number of functions it performed. It had all of the following: a toilet, the captains room, the first officer's room, a radio room, a strategy room, a kitchen, a dining room, and a passage that led to the rear of the submarine.
I examined the captain's room and wondered what sort of human being actually called this home for many months. It was no more than 5 feet in height and 5 feet in-depth and 4 feet wide. The bed was clearly less than 5 feet long and about 1.5 feet wide. There was a small locker AND a table. I couldn't bring myself around to imaging a man sleeping and even thinking in such a small space.
The first officer's cabin was the same. But the space provided to the seamen was even worse. They didn't have rooms, they had bunk beds and these were 3 stories high. And this wasn't the problem with them. The biggest problem was that the bunk beds were in the rear of the sub right next to the massive diesel engines. The submarine used these engines when it surfaced and or travelled to the surface. When they were submerged they relied on electrical motors to kill the noise. I soaked in the atmosphere and imagined what it would be like to be in one of these for months on end!
I also toured the Queen Mary, a luxury liner that is deceptively similar to the Titanic. I walked on the solid oak wood floors and soaked in the opportunity to feel like royalty of yore. I was amused to see various plaques stating the sections that were supposed to be haunted by spirits of yester year travellers. I lunched in the dining hall seated next to a window that overlooked LA's waterfront. The tuna felt like it came out of a can.
That evening I was at an event where I saw history being made.
I was given the program and my eyes lit up when I saw the line up. Patti Austin, Steve Tyler, Joe Perry were being honoured that night. Talk about being at the right place at the right time. This was the mother lode to me. There was another performer that I hadn't heard of John Legend; too young to be of interest I guess. I could dedicate an entire blog on the happenings that night. It began with me finding my way to my seat through a series of winding roads that resembled a river of humans moving upstream. The sheer number in a cramped space and yet without the jostling or discomfort was something that struck me then and continues to amaze me even today. More than a concert arena, this was a picnic spot. I could see groups of people munching on sandwiches and guzzling beer, and yes in the open. It made me think of all the complications of something like this happening in India.
When in my seat, I noticed how truly cramped they were. There wasn't even a seat; it was a couple of long wooden planks running the length of the section marked with numbers. And that is where I sat for the next 2.5 hours! And yes, within minutes of the concert starting, I forgot all discomfort.
The other thing that struck me was the sheer number of people attending. I am told there were probably around 30,000 people in that small arena. I couldn't see a single seat empty in front of me but behind me there were some. For the large number of attendees, the entry to the arena and the exit from it, was equally disciplined and smooth. There is a lesson for all of us.
I have been to the US of A several times since I first set foot there in 1982.
And yet I learn something new every time I go there.
And every time I return I miss it a little more.

I dont take any special precautions. I don't have a lot of content on my blog as yet.

I LISTENED TO the radio broadcast of Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull's Closing the Gap address in parliament on 12 February 2018 and, gritting my teeth, expected the worst. I was surprised to hear him mention, if only briefly, violence against Indigenous women as one of the challenges facing the strategy. I expected this matter of high priority to be ignored yet again. But times are changing.
In the last half century, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander men and women have drawn attention to the family violence and other forms of violence, such as inter-clan disputes, in Indigenous communities, and established programs to ensure the safety of women and children. Indigenous women dominate in this history of advocacy and campaigning for policy reforms to address the need for safe communities. Yet, until recently, their work has gone almost unnoticed.
Only in 2017 has the leadership of Indigenous women been recognised, with the appointment of June Oscar AO to the role of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Social Justice Commissioner. In the twenty-five years of this special role in the Australian Human Rights Commission, she is the first woman. Many will remember the outstanding work by Lowitja O'Donoghue AC CBE DSG as the first chair of the now defunct Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission (ATSIC), which was disestablished by former Prime Minister John Howard. Her courage and steadfastness were exemplary. The chief executive of ATSIC for a period was Pat Turner, and together she and Lowitja dealt with complex policy and legislative challenges, such as the passage of the Native Title Act through parliament, as well as overseeing the distribution of a significant proportion of the budget allocated to Indigenous affairs. Also, this year, instead of one person chairing the Prime Minister's Indigenous Advisory Council there are two co-chairs, Andrea Mason and Chris Sarra. Not since Lowitja's appointment has such a senior body had a woman at its head. Many other Indigenous women have served with distinction as honorary appointments to the various government advisory bodies, but they are usually pushed into the background by the trope of the male Indigenous leader that the political class finds so easy and attractive.
IN NOVEMBER 2017, the NAIDOC co-chairs Dr Anne Martin and Ben Mitchell announced the national theme for 2018: Because of her, we can! They stated that NAIDOC Week 2018 will celebrate the invaluable contributions that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women have made – and continue to make – to our communities, our families, our rich history and to our nation. Their statement continued:
As pillars of our society, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women have played – and continue to play – active and significant roles at the community, local, state and national levels.
As leaders, trailblazers, politicians, activists and social change advocates, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women fought and continue to fight, for justice, equal rights, our rights to country, for law and justice, access to education, employment and to maintain and celebrate our culture, language, music and art.
They continue to influence as doctors, lawyers, teachers, electricians, chefs, nurses, architects, rangers, emergency and defence personnel, writers, volunteers, chief executive officers, actors, singer songwriters, journalists, entrepreneurs, media personalities, board members, accountants, academics, sporting icons and Olympians, the list goes on.
They are our mothers, our elders, our grandmothers, our aunties, our sisters and our daughters.
And it goes on at some length, and is captured in the slogan: Because of her, we can! It is critical to maintain hope, to aspire to this being universally true, but it is also important to recognise the horrors that many women continue to confront, and address them. We were given another slogan during the Closing the Gap ceremonies: Thriving not surviving. There is an air of Snapchat to this, of social media networking for friends and fun, while the depressing statistics worsen. Are governments measuring the violence against Indigenous women, their imprisonment, the abuse and removal of their children and, in some areas of Australia, their worsening poverty? Or are they ignoring the signs of social collapse in many places? It is difficult, sometimes, not to be cynical about the costly spin that accompanies the politics. But I need to say this: a slogan is not a sufficient response to the seriousness of this situation.
THE APPOINTMENT OF June Oscar and the first NAIDOC theme celebrating Indigenous women are, and should be, cause for some optimism. I am encouraged, but also frustrated that it has taken so long for the Indigenous world to finally adopt a pro-women approach to the annual celebration of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander life in this nation. It is clearly encouraging for the thousands of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women whose voices have rarely been heard, to judge from Twitter and Facebook responses, even while they bear the brunt of the disadvantages that are measured in the annual Closing the Gap misery-fest.
But is mere representation of women on committees sufficient in the context of rising rates of violence against Indigenous women and children, incarceration of women, and removal of children from their families? The policy-lite approach to these issues across Australia raises the potential for more failures – or such slow progress on, for instance, reducing child mortality rates – to cause a collapse of Indigenous confidence in governments and their role in Indigenous affairs.
It is important to remain vigilant. We are so very far from parity for Indigenous women, and the work ahead is challenging. We will face the arguments of those who will never concede that we are their equal – both Indigenous and non-Indigenous. There remains great nervousness about allowing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women to enter the corridors of power. The demands by Indigenous women for gender equity have been disputed by those who believe the hoary old excuse for male dominance: that women having rights is contrary to culture, despite evidence to refute this. Efforts to expose this fallacy, especially in relation to policy reforms to address alcohol-fueled violence, provide parenting programs and refuges for women and children, and proposals for registers and programs for violent offenders and men's health and anger management programs, have made barely a dint in the perception among the political elites of the severity of life for Indigenous women and children.
I have been attempting to find a white-feminist defence of the demands of Aboriginal women for effective action to prevent the violence against them and their children – a defence with any of the common sense and cut-through power of Rosie Batty. Rosie Batty, that brave, heartbroken woman, was a beacon of hope for many of us throughout her tenure as Australian of the Year in 2015. After her son Luke was murdered by his father, she became a campaigner against violence. She lent her dignity to survivors of family violence throughout Australia and helped to transfer the shame of being a victim to its rightful place: the perpetrators. She spoke at events organised by women and anti-violence campaigners, at White Ribbon and Male Champions of Change events, and visited remote Aboriginal communities, each time speaking the common sense that gave her that distinctive 'ordinary hero' status.
There is the precise, persuasive reporting of former Governor-General Quentin Bryce AD CVO and her team in Not Now, Not Ever: Putting an End to Domestic and Family Violence in Queensland. Likewise, there are the legal reform arguments of the 2017 Victorian Royal Commission into Family Violence, led by former Justice Marcia Neave AO as commissioner and Patricia Faulkner AO and Tony Nicholson as deputy commissioners, whose two hundred and twenty-seven recommendations embody world-leading reforms. And there are the sound recommendations of Northern Territory Police Commissioner Reece Kershaw, whose officers responded to seventy-five thousand cases of domestic violence from 2014 to 2016 and where, staggeringly, almost half of all orders were breached by offenders.
Then there were the anguished speeches in our parliaments by survivors of spousal abuse. In September 2017, Victorian Upper House MP Rachel Carling-Jenkins spoke about how her estranged husband had been convicted for possession of child pornography. In November 2016, Emma Husar delivered a speech that detailed her experience of domestic violence to the House of Representatives. As news.com.au reported: 'The Western Sydney representative had the House in tears as she shared with her fellow politicians, and the rest of Australia, how as a child she was forced to watch her always-drunk father physically abuse her mother.' This speech was a welcome corrective to the White Ribbon Day pontificating. A victim's voice should always be heard. A victim's voice should have priority. If not, the problem will be dealt with in the same way that the Catholic Church and other religious institutions were able to hide paedophiles: with reassuring symbols that served to cover up the crimes.
I support White Ribbon Day, just as I support reconciliation. But the metanarrative is disturbing if men predominate, if the male voice predominates; if the ribbon serves like the sanctity of the clergy to mask crimes, little changes. And the motives of some men in wearing the ribbon, and presenting speeches in parliaments and at events on 25 November are plain to see: they are hiding their ongoing complicity in violence – whether as a perpetrator, witness or defender – behind the little piece of ribbon. We recognise their faces, we remember their wives and girlfriends and their bruises and absences, and shake our heads, so deeply disappointed again that their arrogance is unstoppable.
FEMALE PARLIAMENTARIANS SHOULD have some idea how gruesome life can be for Indigenous women and children who are victims of violence, abuse, humiliation and intimidation. In 2016, a study by the global Inter-Parliamentary Union reported that sexist violence and harassment against women lawmakers is 'real and widespread' and 'the phenomenon knows no boundaries and exists to different degrees in every country, affecting a significant number of women parliamentarians'. The report, Sexism, Harassment and Violence against Women Parliamentarians, relied on data provided by fifty-five women parliamentarians of all ages who were selected from thirty-nine countries in five regions, including Africa, Europe, Asia-Pacific, the Americas and the Arab world. The report found that four out of five of the female politicians reported having been subjected to hostile behaviour causing psychological harm or fear, and just under half said they had received threats of death, rape, beatings or abduction during their term in office: 'Most of these acts were committed by their male colleagues – from opposing or their own parties'.
In June 2016, Jo Cox, the 41-year-old British Labour Party Member of Parliament for Batley and Spen, died after being shot and stabbed multiple times by a 52-year-old local man named Thomas Mair in Birstall, West Yorkshire. Mair targeted Cox because she was a 'passionate defender' of the European Union and immigration, as The Guardian reported in November 2016, and because he viewed her 'as "one of the collaborators", a traitor to his race'. Hewas found guilty of her murder and sentenced to life imprisonment with a whole-life order.
All these women have more in common than gender, but it's their gender that makes them the target of violence. Likewise, most of the domestic violence committed in Australia involves women as victims and men as perpetrators. The other main category of victims is children.
Given the experience of women parliamentarians and lawmakers in Australia with male violence, why the tolerance of violence against Indigenous women and children? Are we not human? Few Indigenous victims have the audience that women parliamentarians have.
Take the case of Lynette Daley, murdered near Iluka on the New South Wales north coast on Australia Day in 2011, whose killers were not prosecuted until 2017, after a campaign by her family and others, and exposure of the case on Four Corners. The campaign caused the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions to relent and prosecute two men, Adrian Attwater and Paul Maris. In September 2017, an eleven-person jury took just thirty-two minutes to decide that the men were guilty. Adrian Attwater received a nineteen-year sentence, with a non-parole period of fifteen years and three months, for the manslaughter and aggravated sexual assault of Daley. Paul Maris, who was found guilty of aggravated sexual assault and hindering the collection of evidence, received a nine-year sentence, with a non-parole period of six years and nine months.
The state prosecutor is required to take account of community standards, and his refusal to prosecute in 2011 reflected public acceptance of violence against Aboriginal women. Community attitudes to violence against women have changed rapidly following Rosie Batty's advocacy as Australian of the Year. But four years before she became a lightning rod, the revulsion of ordinary members of the community at the failure to prosecute in this case fell on deaf ears. Six years after Lynette Daley's death, the prosecutions succeeded.
This lag let the community down in many ways. It indicated a tolerance for violence against women and could be seen by some as disregard for the lives of Aboriginal women. Although the coroner found no fault with the NSW police in this case, I feared that some would take the failure to promptly prosecute Lynette Daley's murderers as a signal of an 'open season' on Aboriginal women and think nothing of assaulting us. If the law could not be applied equally, then our conclusion that the legal system is racist was reasonable.
The primary example of this tolerance of violence is the Prime Minister's Third Action Plan 2016–19 of the National Plan to Reduce Violence against Women and their Children. It recommends that cases of violence against Indigenous women and children should be dealt with through 'activities that provide wraparound, case-managed support for families, and encourage behaviour change without resorting to police or courts'. Indigenous women involved in ending this violence are asking: Why would the plan recommend that police and courts not be involved?
We who are familiar with the patterns of violence in the Aboriginal world know that one of the key problems is the 'code of silence'. Women are too afraid to call the police or to seek assistance, too afraid to apply for a restraining order, because the police will not attend in any case, and if they do, they will involve child protection authorities and remove the children to institutional care. Or, as is increasingly the case, they will arrest the female victim. I have been told that the women's prisons in Perth are filling up with Aboriginal women who were arrested when they called the police to obtain assistance in a domestic violence crisis. The Human Rights Law Centre and the Change the Record campaign have reported a rising tide of imprisonment of Aboriginal women. Yet there are no suggestions for how to end the violence that triggers their contact with the police. It may be possible to negotiate an end to violence without police actions leading to arrests, but when lives are threatened, the police must be involved because of the high risk of homicide and serious assault. The rates of homicide for Indigenous victims of family violence are twice that for other Australians, a statistic reported by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare report Family, domestic and sexual violence in Australia 2018: 'Two in five Indigenous homicide victims (41 per cent, or thirty-two victims) were killed by a current or previous partner, compared with one in five non-Indigenous homicide victims (22 per cent, or ninety-four victims) during 2012–14.'
The case of Ms Dhu, who died in police custody in Western Australia in 2014, is exemplary in explaining this problem. She was abused and humiliated by the police and many believed she was denied medical treatment. The inquiry found otherwise, but family and friends who saw the video of her writhing in agony on the cell floor and crying for help have their own views. The point I need to make is that before she was arrested, she was assaulted – probably by her partner or boyfriend, a known and named person in the documents and coverage of this case – and the infection from her broken ribs caused her death. This is not to minimise the failure of the police and the hospital that refused to treat her. If it had, she might have lived. But in the first instance, she was a victim of partner violence.
IT SEEMS OBVIOUS that the police forces of Australia need to lift their game and deal more effectively with the scourge of family violence in the Indigenous world. We should unanimously clamour for more support for the victims; too often they are ignored in the fashionable rush to perpetrator behavioural-change programs. The data shows the situation worsening in every conceivable way. Why doesn't the rule of law, so highly valued by all major political parties and purported to be one of the bedrocks of Australian society, work to stop this?
Several reforms were announced at a 2016 Council of Australian Governments meeting: a national domestic-violence order scheme, a national information-sharing system, and the development of national perpetrator standards. Reporting on these developments with transparent and accessible data is urgently required. This is essential if victims are to have integrated and effective support during regular crises – the episodes of violence and community mayhem from which they need safe haven. The police need to be trained, for obvious reasons, to treat the victims and household members with respect, and to quickly remove the perpetrators of violence. They need to make the process of a victim obtaining a restraining order or DVO streamlined, and they need to follow up to make sure that the victims do not surrender to their fears. Their lives and the lives of children involved are always at risk, as the statistics show. They need the removal of the offender, not the women and children; easy access to social-security payments and bank accounts; legislation to ensure police protection of victims from perpetrators and their enablers. A national taskforce of highly qualified Indigenous women and men should be appointed to identify the programs and policies that work and are most urgent.
THE UNDOUBTEDLY SINCERE and well-meaning people who wrote the Third Action Plan, and people I have met in governments with key responsibilities in this area, have been told by some Aboriginal leaders that these levels of violence and abuse are 'cultural'. Yet when I ask what that might mean, they have no answers.
What do the Aboriginal leaders mean when they give this deadly advice? They are referring to a new version of Aboriginal culture that can only mean – if we follow their arguments to their logical end – that assault, forced detention, capital and corporal punishment, and sexual assault of adults and children are acceptable. These actions are illegal under Australian law, but are condoned by some men in the Aboriginal world as a form of 'Aboriginal culture'. The argument, the logic and the consequences are repugnant and should be regarded as such in Australian policies and laws.
Another excuse for the violence – the dominant one, I think – is that Aboriginal men are the victims of 'colonisation' and 'need to heal' before we can deal with the violence.
For raising these issues, as I have done for at least forty years, I have been accused of labelling all Aboriginal men as rapists and perpetrators of violence. I was accused of such by a highly educated, urban, cosmopolitan Aboriginal male academic at a meeting of Indigenous health leaders and research leaders in Melbourne a few years ago; and by a male Aboriginal lawyer, who is one of the leaders of the Change the Record campaign, at a meeting of Indigenous health staff in Brisbane. This is the standard dismissal of Aboriginal women who advocate for solutions to the violence that are aimed at giving some respite to the victims.
Again, the argument, the logic and the consequences are repugnant and should be dismissed. The logical answer is that men who do not approve of such violence should stand beside Aboriginal women advocates to end the violence and defend their cause. They should report perpetrators of assault and rape to the police. They should demand that the criminal justice system deal with these matters effectively.
But the justification for violence is that Aboriginal men have been colonised and are victims who need to be addressed as a priority over their victims. Why? Well apparently because men come first, if we follow this specious reasoning.
ARE THERE ANY feminist arguments that address the epidemic of violence against Indigenous women and children? There is the inspiring Rosie Batty, who could not easily be labelled a feminist. At times it feels like there are more white feminists defending the indefensible – the violence of the perpetrators as an exceptionalist category of colonial impact – than those defending the women whose family life is torn apart by the violence, who are increasingly incarcerated, whose children who are removed into institutional care arrangements and sent into care in the homes of others, to graduate eventually into juvenile detention centres, and then prisons.
The violence knows no bounds. There is a tragedy befalling Indigenous children whose incarceration rates rival the Indigenous adult imprisonment rates and whose trauma is the subject of a growing number of inquiries.
Twelve years ago, in 2006, this pattern of the traumatisation of Indigenous children was reported by Naomi Ralph, Kathy Hamaguchi and Marie Cox, three mental health workers from the Kimberley region. In a paper presented at a Canadian conference, they revealed that sexual abuse of children was contributing to high suicide rates, and warned of dire consequences if it was not stamped out in Indigenous communities. High rates of suicide among the Kimberley's young people were previously thought to be the result of depression. But they suggested that the cause was more likely to be exposure to trauma, writing that 'child sexual abuse is the core social and emotional wellbeing issue impacting on Aboriginal communities'. Since then, the pile of coronial inquiries investigating the deaths of Aboriginal women and children in Western Australia has stacked up. The enduring trauma is gripping the communities in a state of fear and, worse, acceptance of violence as the norm.
More and more young girls are being sexualised and abused at a young age, dooming them to lives of trauma and further jeopardising the future of the family as a viable social institution in those regions where one of the outcomes of this normalisation and acceptance of violence is the laissez-faire responses of the criminal justice system to these victims.
So, in the year of Because of her, we can!, my hope is that these issues will be addressed – not only in the Indigenous world, but also in the corridors of power. I hope that the necessary reforms to end the violence and to enable safe communities are implemented, so that she can.
She will be able to thrive if Indigenous men play their part in recognising her humanity and right to a full and happy life. She will be able to thrive if she is not wrongfully arrested and imprisoned, if she is treated by medical personnel in hospitals, if she is educated and treated with respect. And if she is able to thrive, so will those around her. It is impossible to accept anything less.

The average garage door can weighs between a hundred and thirty to three hundred pounds, and this weight is supported almost entirely by the torsion or extension springs that the system uses. These components are very durable but they will wear out and break after a certain amount of time. A broken spring makes will make it impossible to use your door, and can pose serious safety risks, so it's very important to get it replaced ASAP. That's where we come in.
Depending on the type (extension or torsion) and quality of these components, you can expect them to last from five to ten years, or more. Whether they actually break, or you manage to notice their condition in due time, getting the replaced is the inevitable solution. Our technicianscan quickly disconnect the existing units and install high-quality replacements in their place.Performing this procedure can be incredibly risky, so unless you have the required skills and experience, you better leave it up to our team.
Why Do Springs Wear Out?
Every time you use your door, you are placing a great amount of stress on the springs. A busy householdmay see the garage door used over a thousand times a year, so the looming breakdown will probably occur sooner than it would in other homes. It is possible to reduce the impact of wear and tear on these crucial parts by scheduling to have them undergo regular maintenance; our technicians will lubricate them to ensure their smooth operation and adjust their tension to keep the door perfectly balanced. This extends the service life of these units considerably, and is well worth the investment, as it will allow us to detect minor deformations of the coils and determine when spring replacement will be required.
If your torsion spring needs to be adjusted or both your extension ones are about to break and you need an emergency replacement service, we've got your back. Contact Garage Door Repair Burnsville today and let our specialists deal with these important yet dangerous parts.

Five R&B Singers That Deserve Movie Biopics
Camille Moore 5 months ago
Over the last 15 years, there has been an increasing number of biographical movies about people in the entertainment industry. Although these films have already covered some of the most legendary figures in the business, there are still quite a few people who have earned their day on the big screen. After all, some people's stories go so far beyond their music that learning about their lives will bring a whole new understanding of their artistry. This is particularly true for many of the R&B artists who have dominated the charts for the last several decades. Although the harsh reality is that some of these people will never have movies made about them, we certainly think they deserve it. Keep reading to see the five R&B singers who deserve biopics.
1. Marvin Gaye
Marvin Gaye was easily one of the most well-known R&B artists of the 1960s and 70s, and he is arguably one of the greatest of all time. Although he made dozens of incredible songs, his life outside of the music also deserves some attention. Marvin was born and Washington D.C. and he came from very humble beginnings. He got his start as a performer by singing in a local church when he was a kid, and he began his professional career as a member of a quartet called The Marquees.
Things really started to take off for him during the 1960s and he found success as both a singer and a songwriter. His smooth style resonated with lots of people and it was clear that he had everything he needed to become a star. Throughout his career, he gave us hit songs like "What's Going On", "Mercy Mercy Me", "Let's Get It On", and "Sexual Healing". Sadly, Marvin Gaye's life was cut short when he was murdered by his own father in the spring of 1984. Marvin was just 44 years old at the time. With lots of success, drama, and tragedy, Marvin Gaye's story is one that definitely needs to be told. At one point, there was talk of a biopic being made about him, but it's unclear whether that's still in the works.
2. Monica
From the mid-1990s to the 2010s, Monica had the R&B game on lock. Her natural talent and down-to-earth personality always made her a fan favorite. Outside of her commercial success, though, Monica has lived a very interesting life that would definitely make for a great biopic. For starters, she started singing when she was just two years old. By the time she was 13, she was already recording her debut album. After sharing some insight on her journey during her Verzuz battle, lots of people would love to know more about what it was like for her to be so young in the industry. On top of that, Monica has had some interesting romantic relationships that have never been fully revealed to the public. A biopic would be the perfect way for her fans to gain more insight into who she is as a person. It would also help shed more light on how hard she's worked to accomplish everything over the years.
3. Luther Vandross
Many people would agree that Luther Vandross is one of the best vocalists of all time. Although he didn't typically write his own music, he put a tremendous amount of passion into every song he performed. Throughout his career, he earned the respect of millions of people all over the world, and he has given us several timeless classics including "Never Too Much", "A House is Not a Home", and "Superstar". Despite the amount of fame he achieved during his lifetime, Luther Vandross was always very private about his personal life which has only caused people to be more curious about what he was. Although it's been over a decade since his death, there are still lots of people around who were close to Luther Vandross who would probably be more than happy to help tell his story.
4. Usher
Usher is widely regarded as one of the best R&B singers and all-around performers of his generation, and he has been dominating the industry for much of his life. Still, however, some would argue that he hasn't gotten all of the credit he deserves. Even though he is incredibly well known, there are still lots of people who don't know the ins and outs of his journey through the music industry. From starting his career as a teenager to ending his business relationship with his mother, Usher has gone through a lot over the years. Additionally, he has had to endure a lot in his personal life as well including two divorces and the death of a step son.
5. Mariah Carey
Mariah Carey is one of the best-selling artists of all-time and her incredible vocal range will go down in history. In an industry where people are easily forgotten, Mariah Carey has managed to stand the test of time. Her art has touched the lives of countless people and it continues to do to so this day. She is also the inspiration for many of today's artists. Her story is one that definitely deserves to be told. Lots of her fans would love to learn about who she is outside of career and also get glimpse into all of the work that went into building such an impressive career.

Numbers 19.] FORT SUMTER, S. C., January 21, 1861
(Received A. G. O., January 24.)
Honorable J. HOLT, Secretary of War:
SIR: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your letters, dated the 10th and 19th [16th] instants,and to assure you that I am highly gratified at the unqualified approbation they contain of the course I felt it my duty (under Divine guidance, I trust) to pursue in the unexpectedly perplexing circumstances by which we were surrounded. I shall inclose herewith copies of my correspondence with the officials of this State, and also a copy of the Mercury, which contains an article in reference to supplies for my command.* You will understand at once the reasons for my course, which I hope will meet your approval. So many acts of harshness and of incivility have occurred since my removal from Fort Moultrie, which I have not deemed proper to notice or report, that I cannot accept of any civility which may considered as a favor or an act of charity. I hope that the Department will approve of my sending (if the governor will permit it) our women and children to New York. They will be int the way here if we should, unfortunately be engaged in hostilities, and they would embarrass me should I deem it proper too make any sudden move. We are trying daily to strengthen our position. We have now fifty-one guns in position, viz: In barbette, four 42-pounders, three 32-pounders, six 24's, six 8-inch columbiads, and five 8-inch sea-coast howitzers (24); in casemate, twenty-two 32-pounders and two 42-pounders, (24); and to guard the gateway, which has been nearly closed by a heavy stone wall, three 8-inch sea-coast howitzers; and we are now preparing platforms in the parade for the three 10-inch columbiads, which we are unable to raise to their proper positions. I shall have some of the lower embrasures, in which guns are mounted, closed. This will make our little command more secure. From the perfect isolation of our position here it is impossible for us to ascertain with any degree of certainty, the character or extent of the preparations which are being made around us. Everything however, shows that they are exerting all their energies to prevent the entrance of re-enforcements, and to prepare for attacking this work. Saturday night and yesterday (Sunday) they were very actively engaged at work on a battery (commenced Saturday morning) a few hundred yards south of a battery of three guns constructed within the last three weeks in front of Fort Johnson barracks. On Cummings Point, Morris Island, quite an extensive battery or batteries have been constructed within the last week. We thing that there may be both mortars and heavy guns at this point. We see them moving heavy timbers, which may be intended for the construction of a bomb-proof. Judging from the great quantity of material which has been landed in that neighborhood, I think it probable that they may have strengthened the battery which fired on the Star of the West. The channel she came in has been closed, pretty effectually I imagine, by four sunken vessels. Sand hills on Morris Island afford such safe positions for batteries that I fear we shall have to waste a great deal of ammunition before we can succeed in dislodging them from its batteries. Several distant shots have been heard from the direction the mouth of Stone Creek. I presume they have closed that by a heavy battery. It is reported that there is a battery guarding the entrance of the Maffitt Channel, and also that there is a battery of heavy guns on Sullivan's Island (masked from our view by the houses) about three hundred yards to the west of the fort. Fort Moultrie has been

Have you suffered losses investing in Breitburn Energy Partners, LP? If so, the following information may be valuable for you as you evaluate what to do next.
Breitburn Energy Partners LP (NASDAQ: BBEP) is an independent oil and gas master limited partnership (MLP) focused on the acquisition, exploitation, development and production of oil and gas properties in the United States.
The bankruptcy comes on the heals of a dramatic decline in the price of the shares, having dropped more than 97% in the last year alone.
Unfortunately for many investors, this type of decline was not thought possible as many investors did not fully understand the risks of oil and gas MLPs like Breitburn Energy Partners. Not only are the investments' performance directly tied to the price of oil (which has dropped dramatically) but the investments structure that requires that 90% of revenue be paid out as income causes further erosion to the investments in a time of a decline.
Many investors were also told that price fluctuations may occur but that the benefit of MLPs is that the distributions were consistent and therefore appealing to retired income seeking investors. Of course, investors in Breitburn Energy Partners have learned that this is not always the case.
One other negative consequence of these declining investments has to do with the tax considerations, as many MLP investors are finding that they are getting tax bills even though the investments have been hammered and the income has dropped or even stopped.
The White Law Group continues to investigate the liability that brokerage firms may have for recommending Breitburn Energy Partners to investors.
Brokerage firms are required to perform adequate due diligence to evaluate whether the investments they recommend are suitable in light of the client's age, net worth, risk tolerance, investment experience, and investment objectives. Firms that fail to perform adequate due diligence, or that make unsuitable recommendations, can be held responsible for losses in a FINRA arbitration claim.
The White Law Group believes certain financial advisors have been recommending MLPs improperly to income seeking retired investors – focusing on the income potential of the investments while downplaying or ignoring the risks.
If you suffered losses investing in Breitburn Energy Partners at the recommendation of your financial advisor and would like a free consultation with a securities attorney, please call The White Law Group at 888-637-5510.

IT Acceleration Helps Support MS
by Mike Garcia | Oct 3, 2013 | Our Community | 0 comments
IT Acceleration participated in the 2013 Multiple Sclerosis City to Shore bicycle ride last Saturday. David Yarnall rode the 80 miles from Cherry Hill to Ocean City, New Jersey raising more than $4100 in fundraising support for research and treatment. The event is capped to 7000 riders who can start at various locations depending on the distance the rider chooses to ride.
This was David's 6th year in an MS event. The City to Shore Ride is by far the best organized and staffed. David sends his thanks to friends, family and clients who have supported this cause with IT Acceleration over the years.
What we've learned about fundraising since 2007 is that MS is a silent disease. There are many folks in the community who are affected but wish to remain anonymous. We've also seen firsthand what this disease can do. Folks who are affected go through cycles and may drop out of the public eye when symptoms are bad and you don't realize they are in pain.
This year's City to Shore Ride fell short of the $5.6 million goal, but there's still time to donate. You can make a pledge to IT Acceleration's effort here.
More information on MS
Multiple sclerosis (or MS) is a chronic, often disabling disease that attacks the central nervous system, which is made up of the brain, spinal cord, and optic nerves. Symptoms may be mild, such as numbness in the limbs, or severe, such as paralysis or loss of vision. The progress, severity, and specific symptoms of MS are unpredictable and vary from one person to another. Today, new treatments and advances in research are giving new hope to people affected by the disease.
