Q: Counting the number min records within groups I'm building a report for a database where I need to determine the number of "first scans" grouping by company, job, and date.
The scan table can contain multiple scans for the same item, however I only want to include the original scan in my COUNT, which can only be identified as being the scan with the earliest date that matches a particular item.
My first attempt at this was:
SELECT
     _item_detail.job_id,
     _item_group.group_id,
     _scan.company_id,
     DATE(scan_date_time) as scan_date,
     COUNT(1)
FROM _scan
    INNER JOIN _item_detail ON _item_detail.company_id = _scan.company_id
    AND
    _item_detail.serial_number = _scan.serial_number
    INNER JOIN _item_group ON _item_group.group_id = _item_detail.group_id
WHERE _item_detail.job_id = '0326FCM' AND _scan.company_id = '152345' AND _item_group.group_id = 13
GROUP BY
_item_detail.job_id,
_item_group.group_id,
_scan.company_id, scan_date -- first_scan_count
HAVING min(scan_date_time);

This is giving me incorrect results, though (about 3x too many). I am assuming it's because the MIN record is being recalculated for each date, so if the min was found on day 1, it may also be found on day 3 and counted again.
How can I modify my query to achieve the desired results?

A: Something similar to this should work... I'm not completely sure of how your tables are laid out or how the data relates them together, but this is the general idea:
SELECT
    _item_detail.job_id,
    _item_group.group_id,
    _scan.company_id,
    DATE(scan_date_time) as scan_date,
    COUNT(1)
FROM
    _scan s1
    INNER JOIN _item_detail
        ON _item_detail.company_id = s1.company_id
        AND _item_detail.serial_number = s1.serial_number
        AND _item_detail.job_id = '0326FCM'
    INNER JOIN _item_group
        ON _item_group.group_id = _item_detail.group_id
        AND _item_group.group_id = 13
WHERE
    s1.company_id = '152345'
    AND s1.scan_date_time = (
        SELECT MIN(s2.scan_date_time)
        FROM _scan s2
        WHERE
            s2.company_id = s1.company_id
            AND s2.serial_number = s1.serial_number
    )
GROUP BY
    _item_detail.job_id,
    _item_group.group_id,
    s1.company_id

A: I don't quite follow your query, but based on the description of the problem, I'd say create a subquery that gives the min scan date for for each item, group by items, the perform your outer select on that.

Meet Janelle Petak, HealthFitness Contract Manager for a leading energy company
We are HealthFitness, and we believe we know how to help someone make better choices. Help them feel better. Live a better life as free from the effects of poor health as possible.
Fueling the success of a wellbeing program that serves more than 14,000 employees at a leading energy company is a top priority for Janelle Petak, HealthFitness contract manager.
Petak and her team of six on-site program managers care for the safety and health for all employees—from utility lineman to corporate office staff to engineers at nuclear plants—in more than 100 locations across Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas.
The company's wellbeing program ENSHAPE is in its thirteenth year, but this is Petak's first year at the company—and she is tireless in her efforts to power up the program to meet the unique health and wellness needs of employees and their families.
She credits strong wellness programming, an on-site champion network, visible leadership support and her on-site team for driving the success of the company's wellbeing program. "We have great engagement and participation, and strive to keep the programs fresh," she says.
Petak is happy to report that the company has experienced health improvements in several areas—especially stress. "Moving the needle on stress was a big win for us," Petak says. "Our team focused on creating on-site relaxation programs that included massage chairs and guided meditations."
Better on-site program managers
Petak is extremely proud of her team of program managers, but especially during screening season, when the company hosts 135 screening events and the team goes on the road, traveling from event to event. "Each day is different for our program managers," she says. "One day we are leading a screening at a nuclear plant, and the next day we are leading a stress management seminar for leadership."
The team motivates each other during their weekly meeting where everyone shares a "glow," which is an example of what went well; and a "grow," which is a challenge or growth opportunity. "Our team is like a family and we appreciate what we each bring to the job," she says.
Building a wellness champion network
To help ensure the wellness program is successful at each location, Petak and her team built a network of wellness champions, who, in addition to their day jobs, help create awareness and increase engagement of the program. They identified individuals throughout the company's locations who are passionate about wellness and are already taking action with their health. "We look for people who believe in wellbeing and inspire their peers," she says. "We wouldn't be able to run our programs without our champions."
As a group, wellness champions serve as the eyes and ears of the wellbeing program, sharing what works, what doesn't work and what can be improved. "Their input is invaluable to the success of the program," she says.
Igniting leadership support
A great source for fueling ongoing success of the company's wellbeing program includes backing from company leadership. "We've learned that visible support and participation from our company leadership—at all levels of the company—sets the tone for employees and communicates that it's acceptable to take part in a step challenge or on-site screening," Petak says.
Helping families make better choices
Petak and her team are taking wellness one step further by adding spouses and families to the mix to support healthy habits in the home. "So much of Southern culture centers on food," she says. "If employees learn to make healthy choices at work they are more likely to bring healthy habits home and share with their families," she says. "We want everyone to make better choices when grocery shopping, preparing meals and more."
Powering wellbeing everywhere
Petak is proud that she has worked in wellness for her entire career. "My first job in wellness was working as a health education coordinator in low income schools," she says. "Many of the lessons I learned as an educator are still applicable in the corporate world."
Petak then took a university job where she created professional development opportunities for graduate students. "I noticed many health challenges in my department so I volunteered to introduce employee wellness," she says. "I hosted monthly health topics and created simple wellness challenges. I did this for a few years before returning to school and earning a Master's degree in Public Health (MPH) from Emory University."
Although her current position is Petak's first job in corporate wellness, the rewards are greater than she could have imagined. "Seeing employees change their health habits for the better is very gratifying," she says. "I consider it an honor when an employee invites me into their personal wellness journey."
Petak encourages everyone to promote wellbeing in their job—even if health and wellness is not in their job title. "Wellbeing is everywhere for everyone," she says. "Wellness is not meant only for the person at your company who does health promotion. Wellbeing is a value and it's available for everyone as we try to do better each day."

About This Font
Empresario Stephen F. Austin (1793-1836) is considered by many the "Father of Texas" for leading the first Anglo-American colony into the then-Mexican territory back in the 1820s. A few years later, while on a diplomatic mission to Mexico City, Austin was arrested on suspicion of plotting Texas independence and imprisoned for virtually all of 1834. During this time he kept a secret diary of his thoughts and musings—much of it written in Spanish.
Austin Pen is my interpretation of Austin's scribblings in this miniature prison journal (now in the collection of the wonderful Dolph Briscoe Center for American History, in the Texas city that bears his name). The little leather-bound book is filled with notes in ink and pencil—some of the faded penciled pages traced in ink years later by Austin's nephew Moses Bryan.
A genuine replication of 19th century cursive, Austin Pen has two styles: a fine regular weight, along with a bold style that replicates passages written with an over-inked pen. Each is legible and evocative of commonplace American penmanship of two centuries ago.

"Alex Rodriguez stop being a piece of s**t stop cheating on Jennifer Lopez, ' he added, before challenging him to a 'boxing match or an MMA match anytime you want".
Lopez added that she's not going to let anyone else affect her relationship.
"The kids will probably be with me the whole time", she said of whether her 11-year-old twins, Emme and Max, will be joining her on the road. "We're really happy", Jennifer explained after the fact.
"We just got engaged, and then right afterwards we started working right away and we're working the rest of the year, so I don't know what's going to happen", she said.
Jose Canseco's ex-wife Jessica is finally speaking out about the rumors her husband made about her having an affair with Alex Rodriguez amid the former Major League Baseball star's engagement to Jennifer Lopez. I know who [Alex] is. "We were together so many years ago". "I know what our relationship is".
However, on the morning of April 10th, Lopez went on the popular radio show, "The Breakfast Club", and was directly asked how she felt about the accusations.
"We're not gonna let like other people come out and tell us what our relationship is", she said.
"We love each other, we do", she gushed. "We are just friends my god".
"We had talked a little bit about it. but I didn't know he was going to propose that weekend", she admitted. "We have a lot of love and respect and admiration for each other and that is so nice". Diddy left a heart-eyed emoji under her pic and, according to Jen, he quickly realized his comment might have offended her man Alex Rodriguez, 43. She went on to state that she is friendly with both Rodriguez and Lopez.


Homegrown strawberry plants are another great edible ground cover, for fresh eating or preserves. Burnt Ridge Nursery has selected our choice of strawberries varieties for sale that are more reliable in the Pacific Northwest and for similar zones. Train runners to produce new daughter plants or trim them for more fruit production on a single strawberry plant. Plants should continually to be watered during the peak of summer heat, even when they stop producing, for Everbearers to produce again later in the season and to assist June Bearers to make it to the next year. They also will need an acidic soil pH of 5.8-6.2 to be productive. Our strawberry plants are typically sold bare root in bundles of 25 and it is best to soak the roots in water before planting.
We offer the Everbearing varieties Albion and Tristar. They will produce two or three crops throughout the growing season. However, they will stop producing during the peak of summer heat and after frost.
Our June Bearing selection is particularly focused on growing in the Pacific Northwest but will do well in similar zones or climates. The varieties Hood, Puget Crimson, Puget Summer, Rainier, Shuksan, and Totem produce larger fruits and yields during a single period in the growing season. This period may last 2-3 weeks. They may also spread aggressively in the garden if not controlled, runner training is possible or raised beds/barriers can be used.
Resembles Tristar strawberry in long fruiting season, but with a much larger fruit. Best flavored of the large fruited everbearing types. Albion Strawberry has very good disease resistance to phytopthora, verticillium and anthracnose. Zone 5-9.
Very large, dark red delicious berries on productive, vigorous plants. Puget Crimson Strawberry is the latest ripening summer variety. Zone 6-10.
Everbearing variety, highly productive with very large delicious berries, solid red inside and out. Berries are firm and very flavorful. Seascape strawberry is widely adapted and disease resistant. Zone 5-10.
Big, red berries with outstanding flavor early in the season, for fresh eating or processing. Totem Strawberry produces high yields and has good disease resistance. Winter hardy to Zone 3.
An everbearer. Medium sized, sweet berries are great fresh. Fall crop of Tristar Strawberry has the largest fruit and is more abundant. Good disease resistance. Zone 5-10.

EZ Up Canopies and EZ Up Tents are probably the hottest things going in the canopy market today. Savvy canopy shoppers want a durable, high-quality canopy that can be set up or taken down in a flash and won't break the bank. In eCanopy.com's EZ Up Canopy and Easy Up Style Canopies section you'll obviously find the best selection of EZUp canopies around, but you'll also get great easy up style canopies from great canopy manufacturers at fantastic values. So find the ez-up canopy that's right for you.
I need 2 EZ UP Encore II shelters with side panels. We need to replace two that accidentally were disposed. However, I am having difficulty finding this particular shelter.
We do not sell that particular model. You will need to contact EZ-UP directly at 800-45-SHADE. Thank you for your inquiry.
Are EZ Up Canopies flame retardant? If so, are they labeled?
It will depend on the model, and is clearly labeled on the item page. If it is certified, it is sewn in.
How do you fold up an EZ-Up canopy?
You push both corners in to close the canopy, and they usually have push buttons to lower the height. It should close like an "accordion." It takes 30-60 seconds to take these canopies down.
Where can I find instructions on how to set up a 10 x 10 Instant Shade canopy?
You will find the instructions for that unit here.
How many people does it take to set up?
We recommend two for some of the heavier models, but many people are able to do it on their own.
Are the colored versions of the EZ Up Pyramid 10' x 10' canopies waterproof?
Do you provide tops for the EZ-Up Sierra2 10' x 10' separately?
Unfortunately, we do not provide these replacement tops.
Do you sell the 10' x 10' EZ Up canopy separately (I have the Quik shade commercial frame)?
We do not sell replacement canopies for this model.
I have a 6' X '6 Quest but, it's missing its top (the soft cover). Can I order a replacement?
You can order that particular item directly from Ez Up, as we do not carry that canopy.
We DJ a lot of car shows, weddings etc. We are seeking a 10' x 10' or 12' x 12' waterproof Ez-Up that will hold up in high winds and rain. We have bought Coleman Ez-Ups in 12' x 12' and 10' x 10' sizes that have leaked water, even after spraying the waterproofing sealant. The frame has bent in the wind.
Unfortunately, there is not a pop up canopy made that is designed for inclement weather.
I have an E-Z Up with angled legs and I need to replace the canopy alone. It's a Dome Model and measures 7' 8.5" square. Can I buy just the canopy?
Please contact E-Z Up directly as we only carry the full unit.
They do have feet to secure the unit. Please note, these pop up canopies are not meant to be permanent structures and are meant to be taken down after each use to avoid damage. Weather related damages are not covered under the manufacturer's warranty.
The wind captured our canopy yesterday and snapped one leg. Is there a replacement part for it?
Please contact the manufacturer of E-Z directly, as we currently do not offer replacement legs for this unit.
One of our EZup canopy tops ripped. It doesn't have a "patch" where the pole goes like our other one does. So when the rain came it gathered in the low sides and split the top. Do you repair tents or have a kit to do so?
The Caravan Five-Piece Canopy Repair Kit would likely work well for this application.
We have owned an EZ Up canopy for about 8 years. We used it at a farmers market. I can't remember if it is waterproof. Can you tell me how well it holds up to rain?
The E-Z Up canopies that we have available are water resistant and E-Z Up only recommends them for light rain.
I'm looking for a quote for 2 custom 10 x 10's for my track/Cross Country teams?
What is the walk under clearance for this EZ-Up EN100 Envoy 10 x 10 Straight Leg Instant Shelter?
The valence clearance of this canopy is 6'2".
I am looking for an EZ up canopy that is 12x12 and white. Do you carry these?
We have them in both theShelter Logic brand and Caravan brand.
Are most art show tents only 7 feet tall?
For pop-up style canopies, the average peak height is 12 feet while the average walk under clearance is about 6-1/2 feet. However, most of the Caravan brand canopies have a walk under clearance of 7 feet, one of the highest in the industry.
How should I clean these types of canopies?
The manufacturer suggests you use a light soap solution with a soft rag.
My husband is a welder and wants to know which canopy color is best to reduce the amount of heat from the sun.
Traditionally, white is the best color to use. Although the tent does let more light through, being white in color, tents that are colored absorb a great deal more heat and transmit it to the area beneath them. One tent that excels at U.V. protection is the Undercover 10 x 10 Professional-Grade Aluminum Popup Shade Package with White Top. Not only is the top a U.V. blocker, but the peak is ventilated to allow heat to escape. This can make a big difference in temperatures under the tent.
Which canopy is best for the beach?
The best canopy would be the 10 x 10 Caravan Monster as it has a very heavy duty frame. Our second recommendation would be the 10 x 10 Caravan Aluma. If neither of these are in your budget range, any of the Caravan brand canopies will be a good choice. You will just need to remember to anchor whichever one you choose securely or use Weight Bags around the legs to secure it against the breezes.
What are the best rated brand canopies for durability?
The very best is the Caravan Monster which has an ultra-tough industrial-grade design. However, if this is not within your budget, we would recommend either the Carvan Classic which has a commercial grade steel frame or the Caravan Aluma which has a commercial grade aluminum frame.
I'm Looking for right product to take to beach and ball games. Quick setup and tear down. Lightweight.
The Caravan Traveler 10 x 10 Canopy would be perfect for your needs. It is only 45 pounds, easy to set up and its folded dimensions are only 51".
Do you have EZ up canopy tent top replacements that are guaranteed 100% waterproof in white color?
Do you sell sides for the 12x12 canopies?
No, we do not carry walls for the 12 x 12 canopies.
Do you have screen side walls for 10 x 10 canopies?
Where can I review the color samples to choose from?
Are EZ Up Canopies water repellent?
Most of our pop-up canopies feature water-resistant tops, with varying levels of fabric thickness. Please see each model's item description and features for more information. Meanwhile, the only 100% waterproof 10x10 pop-up canopy we offer is the Vitabri V3 10 x 10 Aluminum Pop Up Canopy.
Do you guys do logos on 10x10 EZ Up tents?
What is the material of the canopy part made of?
The canopy is polyester material.
Do you have a waterproof, pop up 10 x 10 canopy?
Where can we find a bag for an E-Z Up Express II Shade Canopy?
Unfortunately, we do not sell the bags for that particular E-Z UP model. Please contact E-Z UP directly at 1-800-457-4233 for availability.
Is there any way that we can personalize the EZ Up canopy that we already own? Can we heat press vinyl on it or would it need to be silk screened?
The material is too porous to for press on vinyl. You may be able to find someone who can screen print on it for you. We cannot screen print on already manufactured items and our process requires the printing to be done prior to the tent being sewn together.
Do you have an Easy UP canopy with a Heavy Duty frame? Do any of them come with a yellow or orange cover?
Both our Caravan Classic(commercial grade steel) and our Caravan Aluma(commercial grade aluminum) are available with a yellow or orange top.
One of the rods broke on my canopy. What can I do?
You may order replacement parts from the manufacturer. Please contact EZ-Up.
How can I clean this canopy?
To wash a canopy top, place top on the frame at lowest setting and rinse it down with garden hose. Take a mild detergent and use a soft brush for soiled spots. Do not brush graphics. Allow the top to dry completely before storing.
What is the difference between Quik Shade Summit S81 and S100?
The s81 is a slanted leg canopy with a 9x9 cover which only covers 81 square feet as opposed to the s100 which has a 10x10 cover which covers 100 square feet.
I have a QuikShade 10x10 and just the cover is torn and the frame is in good condition. Can I just get the cover?
We have the replacement tops for certain QuikShade models. You can see all of our Quikshade brand products by clicking here.
The easy up tent is one of the best selling tent styles today. If you buy an easy up canopy you'll discover how durable and versatile they really are. So put your trust in one of eCanopy.com's easy ups today!

Vice President's Report – Welcome Week 2019
February 21, 2019 /in Vice President /by Publications SRC
Dane Luo and Wanlin Chu
Hello and welcome to USyd! We're your Vice Presidents for this year. We just celebrated the Lunar New Year of the Pig. And we will be running exciting events throughout the year, starting with the SRC's Welcome Week stall (please come say hi!).
The SRC is here to help YOU! Our CASEWORKERS are professional and experienced staff who can assist you with academic issues, Centrelink, tenancy, show cause and tax help. Our LEGAL SERVICE has dedicated solicitors that can help with court appearances, fines, consumer rights, employment law, witnessing documents, visa related and migration matters. These services are FREE, independent and confidential.
We know that going to University doesn't come cheap! The Government funds a proportion of course fees for all domestic undergraduate and some domestic postgraduate students. But students are still expected to pay a fee. You can either pay it upfront or (like most students) defer payment through HECS-HELP. HECS-HELP is an interest-free loan scheme where you don't need to pay until your income exceeds a threshold that is adjusted to inflation.
To apply for HECS-HELP, you need to apply before the 'census date' (Sunday 31 March 2019 for semester 1):
FIRST, check your eligibility. HECS is available to all students with a Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP). All domestic undergraduate students are eligible for a CSP, and if you're unsure that you meet these requirements, you can check your eligibility at http://bit.ly/2DiMCUc.
SECOND, apply for a Tax File Number (TFN) at https://bit.ly/1VltRCj if you don't already have one – your enrolment will be invalid without it and your application for HECS will ask for it.
THIRD, log on to Sydney Student then go to My Finance > Your Finances > Government forms and fill out a Request for Commonwealth support and HECS-HELP form.
In addition to course fees, there is the Student Services and Amenities Fee (SSAF) – a portion of which goes to the SRC. The SA-HELP program allows you to defer this amount just like the HECS-HELP program. To do this, follow the same steps and fill out a Request for SA-HELP assistance form on the same page in Sydney Student.
If you need any help with any of these payments you can email help@src.usyd.edu.au and a caseworker will be happy to give you advice. Or if you would like get involved in SRC events or campaigns, feel free to email us at vice.president@src.usyd.edu.au.
Good luck for the year ahead!

With all SRC departments working hard to ensure a great welcome to Uni for first years and any new collective members, it's been a busy time for all of us. Some of the keen readers may be aware of an initiative I'm working on tentatively titled Services Week. Breaking ground on the "Services Week" has been a rewarding struggle. Over the past few weeks I've been engaging the departments and getting them involved. There's a lot to be done, but there are also many more OB's and councillors behind the initiative. I've been working on this because the services at the university are subpar, and accessing them should not be as difficult as it currently is. I'm dedicated to this project, and more broadly, I'm dedicated to ensuring students are receiving the help they require, whatever it may be.

The University of Sydney SRC Vice Presidents condemn the proposed changes to Section 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act 1975 (Cth) proposed by the Australian Government, and believe that removing the terms, "insult", "offend" and "humiliate" with the ambiguous term, "harass", is highly problematic to Australian multiculturalism and a fundamental step backwards. Many of us are opinionated – and opinions, whilst sometimes controversial are respected. However, for one to act in a way which directly offends, insults or humiliates another based on "race, colour or national or ethnic origin" is a breach of the responsibility that comes with the (implied) right of freedom of speech in Australia, it is a breach when "freedom of speech" becomes "hate speech". Section 18C as it stands provides a framework that helps draw the line between the two, and whilst it does fall short in some areas, it is inherently aimed at protecting the most vulnerable in our society. The Australian Human Rights Commissioner, Gillian Triggs, expressed she was "especially concerned" with the removal of the term "humiliate", and that the draft proposal in itself was a "highly unsatisfactory… circular process", particularly in its proposal alongside a rhetoric of fear and the perpetuation of the 'topical other'. As far as the university culture and environment goes, we will not stand for the justification of empty hatred amongst students, and the SRC would thus like to remind students of the free legal and casework support services available to them. Furthermore, as Vice Presidents of the University of Sydney SRC, we will be attending Walk for Respect on the 31 March @5:30pm at the Corner of Gillies St and Haldon St, Lakemba, speaking in favour of ensuring that these changes to Section 18C will not proceed through Parliament and so encourage anyone interested to come and show your support.

If you're one of the three people who actually read this reports section in Honi, you've probably noticed that I've been harping on about Radical Education Week for a little while now. Well, time has flown by, and Week 5 – Rad Ed Week – is already here! I'm very proud of the hard work of activists in the SRC who have built this event from the ground up. We set out to share the knowledge and skills developed in collectives and activist groups with the broader student population, and promote engagement and collaboration between different groups. Although we come from different groups and backgrounds, we share a dissatisfaction with the kind of education that neoliberal universities provide us with – heavily based on theory, centred around the perspectives of old, rich white men, and bearing little relevance to our work in communities towards social justice and liberation.
We've created a program of events that we hope will engage the student community, and be accessible to people who haven't necessarily been involved in activism before. Our events span the spectrum from how to run a successful campaign, the legal knowledge you need to participate in direct actions, and how to work in solidarity with Indigenous communities, to how to file a Freedom of Information request and facilitate a meeting.
Throughout the process of developing Radical Education Week, I have been continually overwhelmed by the strength of SRC collectives like the Environment Collective, the Indigenous Collective, the Autonomous Collective Against Racism, the Education Action Group, the Queer Collective and the Wom*n's Collective (although perhaps I'm a bit biased about that one). These are all great examples of the power non-hierarchical, collective organising amongst passionate students. In the face of a corporatised university, a conservative government and a regressive social climate, collaboration between activists are more necessary than ever – and our collectives are thriving.
Join us on Eastern Avenue from Tuesday to Thursday to learn about how you can get involved, and come along to our workshops to participate in an exciting, innovatory week of learning.

As I write this, news has just broken that the so-called 'merger' of SCA with the UNSW Arts and Design school. This is a milestone victory for the Let SCA Stay campaign, and shows that coordinated action from staff, students and community can successfully challenge top-down management decisions. However, the fight is nowhere near over: the University still wants to squeeze SCA into smaller facilities on main campus. Sustained action is necessary to keep SCA where it belongs at Callan Park, and to reinstate the Bachelor of Visual Arts as its own degree, rather than collapsing visual arts into the BA. I urge everyone to get involved in the campaign: follow 'Let SCA Stay' on Facebook and Twitter, or email letscastay@gmail.com to get in touch with the organisers.
At a university that seems bent on sacrificing the quality of our education for corporate profits, there is a more pressing need than ever to build a strong student movement and create our own platforms for education and resistance that don't depend on academic structures. As much as we need to fight against further neoliberalisation of the academy, this needs to be complemented by autonomous student spaces and genuine engagement with non-academic community struggles. The SRC will be hosting the inaugural Radical Education Week in Week 5 to promote the sharing of knowledge and skills between collectives and the broader student population. Activists, officebearers and collective members from the SRC are are hard at work organising an amazing program of workshops, talks, skillshares and film screenings that will all be free for everyone to attend. Keep an eye out for the full program – follow us at facebook.com/radedweek, or drop us an email at radeducationweek2016@gmail.com.

The University of Sydney stands on the stolen lands of the Gadigal people of the Eora nation. Although we hear this phrase often in obligatory acknowledgements of country, it is worth pausing and reflecting on what this really means in the context of our learning and our relationship to the University as students.
The academy in general, and USyd in particular, are implicated in long histories of colonialism. Disciplines like anthropology and human biology were integral to the colonial project, legitimising discourses of Aboriginal people as 'noble savages' with inherent biological differences to white Europeans. Botany and agricultural research played a pivotal role in establishing settlement in Australia, providing the knowledge and techniques necessary for foreign crops and livestock to be grown here. The knowledge produced in academic disciplines is not politically or socially neutral – it is created to fulfil specific purposes dictated by larger realities of structural racism. As students, we should learn and remember this history.
Despite the lip service paid to 'diversity' and 'cultural change' in the University's 2016-2020 Strategic Plan, university management is not sincerely committed to supporting Indigenous students. Gutting almost half of the units comprising the Indigenous Studies major last year indicates the University's lack of support for Indigenous education. DVC (Indigenous Strategies and Services) Shane Houston's decision to fragment support services for Indigenous students, moving them from the autonomous Koori Centre to the general Student Services Centre, undermines the history and value of the Koori Centre as a safe space for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students.
Creating safe spaces and providing support for Indigenous students within an institution that has historically marginalised and excluded them takes a lot of hard work, and does not happen overnight. It is the task of students, as well as university administration, to foster a safer environment. You can join the group Students Support Aboriginal Communities, who work on various issues in Sydney and around the state to provide funds and support for grassroots Indigenous projects. Keep up with the great work the Indigenous Collective is doing through the SRC. Think about how your studies can challenge, rather than support, the racist legacies of academia; and always remember that you are walking on Aboriginal land.

It was incredibly inspiring this week to see hundreds of staff and students attend the 'No Faculty Mergers, No Cuts' rally, and march from Eastern Avenue to the Vice Chancellor's office in the Quadrangle. The program of reforms proposed by university management behind closed doors includes vicious cuts to the range of degrees, loss of administrative jobs through the merging of faculties, and hikes to student fees, making education even less accessible to low SES students and other minorities. I would like to commend the Education Action Group for their hard work in organising this rally, and I hope that the student body will put similar support behind the upcoming National Day of Action on April 16 to fight the neo-conservative federal agenda to deregulate the university sector.
In the spirit of free and equitable education, representatives at the SRC are continuing to organise the inaugural Radical Education Week, which will be held in mid Semester 2. We're very excited to create a program of skillshares, workshops, talks and film screenings to promote peer education around progressive issues, and to foster greater solidarity between different SRC collectives and the broader student population. If you have a keen interest in decolonisation, Marxism, ecofeminism, environmental justice, or any other radical theme under the sun, get in touch at radeducationweek2016@gmail.com! We'd love to hear your ideas for workshops and incorporate them into our program. Keep an eye out for our Facebook page, which will be up soon.
Vice Presidents' Report – O-week 2016
February 26, 2016 /0 Comments/in Vice President /by Publications SRC
It's been an exciting summer beginning my term as Vice President! After the chaos of NatCon in December, it was great to meet all the other members of the Executive and embark on what I hope will be a very productive year in the SRC.
Last November in Honi, Subeta Vimalarajah and I published an article about anonymous marking, and the various biases that can arise from students' names being attached to their work. Our campaign continues this year: after we met with various academic staff to discuss the value of an anonymous marking policy, the university has now commissioned a working group to investigate the viability of such a policy. I am passionate about ensuring that students' work is marked fairly, and that staff are held to the same standards of academic integrity that are demanded of students.
Another project that I'm very excited about for 2016 is the organisation of the SRC's. Inaugural Radical Education Week for Semester 2. Like Rad Sex & Consent Week, the week will have a student-organised program of talks, workshops, film screenings and skillshares. We want to strengthen engagement between SRC collectives and the broader student population, and promote free knowledge-sharing between peers. If you have ideas for workshops or events that you'd love to see at Rad Education Week, or would like to get involved in organising the week, get in touch — radeducationweek2016@gmail.com.
Getting everything ready for O Week has been busy, but it's a very exciting time for the SRC — a great opportunity to meet new students and spread the word about all the great things the SRC does. Make sure you drop by our O Week stall to pick up a bag full of goodies and say hi!

You must have set a new record. You've found the netherpages of Honi Soit in the first few days of semester. Congratulations. How are you?
If you're reading this – unless you're on a misguided search for the puzzle pages (~in some ways, you're already here~) – you are, if not already a seasoned old-timer circling the drain of academic eternity (welcome!), now a proverbial 'big name' on campus. You've been at USyd at least one semester, you've survived (or, even, flourished) – and a motley crew of new students start in your place. These students will be wandering around our sandstone labyrinth with a bewildered look and a chaotic schedule; and, with your freshly minted 'experience', it's easy to forget that you were, once, a lost soul walking out of an Access tent; or at a lonely desk in a tutorial.
Predominately, students starting at this time of the year are with non-typical pathways – such as mature age or international students. I know I'm often caught carelessly in a little cocoon of luck – ignoring how lucky I am to be at University at the age I am, with the few difficulties I've had in my life, with the education I had already gained prior to USyd – and in the safety of that cocoon, complain relentlessly about my tutorial partners' perceived incompetence; or mock other students who dare to ask questions in lectures. These assessments we make are by no means 'equal opportunity'. We target these at those with we identify with difference: and we justify it as lighthearted, as purely harmless. But now that you're back – with all the stature your semesters' past accord you – you can take those throwaway lines, and their underlying attitudes, seriously. You don't need to burn an effigy to be that Marxist radical your parents worry you'll become: realise carefully your own privileges, and talk with students from different backgrounds. Not as a sideshow or as your 'pet-project', but as a way of understanding – and, maybe, you can play a small part in ensuring their first semester is just as successful as yours.

There's a page on Facebook called 'USyd Rants'. True to its name, it is an anonymous clearinghouse for the disenchanted and disillusioned. It is a strange psyche: its currency of approval, likes, ensures that the opinions widely liked are widely shared. Its anonymity ensures unpopular posts disappear without any criticism directed to their author, and successful posts flourish – with their creator, inevitably, accepting accolades from an adoring Facebook public.
Hundreds of rants are posted each day: from tediously specific condemnations ("[t]o the people sitting in the back third of the room in BUSS1030 on Tuesday afternoon") to strangely generic commentaries on life ("Is God Dead?", a question I can only imagine was posed either by an extraordinarily angsty teen or a second-year Philosophy student seeking ad-hoc essay help).
Unfortunately, its coverage doesn't end there. Safe in its namelessness, USyd Rants is a petrie-dish for the self-declared 'disenfranchised' to sound off on feminism ("fuck feminism!" is a regular contribution), international students ("Stuck with ANOTHER international student in my group, FML"), and even Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people ("Lazy fucking Abos near Redfern, stop barking at me").
For this Indigenous Honi, I thought it was important to reflect on this unique form of discrimination. Comments that are – in any other context – vile and unacceptable – comments we would never attach our name to – can be shared quickly, freely, easily, with no harm to personal reputation whatsoever. Discrimination – whether it is subtle or even unconscious, or anonymous and caustic – is real and entrenched.
Gendered violence is at crisis-point; international students are routinely exploited, and promptly abandoned, by our own University; and the Redfern Tent Embassy faces imminent eviction. You don't need to look at 'USyd Rants' to see it. I wish you did. I want to believe that these 'rants' are rare and repressed; reading this Honi, I fear that they are not.
Thank you to Madi McIvor – the editor of this Honi, and my brilliant co-Vice President – who has slaved for weeks over this edition: it is uncomfortable, illuminating, and shocking at all once. Sometimes we need to be. I hope that you, too, realise that this – the way we consider, think about, and treat others – must change.

Overreach by Unions in Wisconsin
Derek Hunter
Scott Ruesterholz
Trump's China Deal Phase One Is a Home Run
The Wisconsin recall election of Republican Gov. Scott Walker is not going quite like the unions and the Democratic Party expected. Back in 2011, many pundits thought that the governor had overreached when he took on public employee unions, restricting -- though not eliminating -- collective bargaining rights. But he did so because he inherited a state in dire financial shape with a deficit of $3.6 billion and public employee pensions and benefits that threatened to bankrupt the state.
When a Republican-controlled legislature tried to pass legislation to rein in the abuses, Democratic representatives literally fled the state to make a vote impossible. As a result of some clever parliamentary footwork that separated fiscal items in the bill so that a quorum would not be required to pass the legislation, Walker managed to get the bill passed. The unions sued, unsuccessfully, and the bill became law, incurring the wrath of Wisconsin's powerful unions -- public and private sector. They launched a successful recall petition drive and, for awhile, it looked like Walker might pay for his temerity with his job.
The latest polls in the state show Walker in the lead against his opponent, Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett, by 5-8 points. What's more, Walker has raised vastly more funds than Barrett, some $25 million to Barrett's $831,000 (though unions and Democratic groups will spend much more on his behalf). But the real problem for Barrett is that Walker's medicine, though unpleasant for many union members, has helped bring the state's economy back to a more healthy position.
Even in a heavily union state like Wisconsin, union membership is tiny compared to the total labor force. And when it comes to public employees, most taxpayers realize that they are actually footing the bill for salaries and benefits, which more often than not exceed their own.
When many workers have no health insurance, they may feel chagrined at having to fork over more taxes to pay for Cadillac policies for union members whose own healthcare contributions are much smaller. When most employees get two weeks paid vacation if they're lucky, they may resent paying full time salaries to teachers who work only nine months a year and spend only five hours a day in the classroom with weeklong holidays, professional development and snow days off.
It's still possible for the Democrats and unions to pull off a victory if they are more successful at voter turnout than the Republicans. Unions are more than willing to bend the rules when it comes to spending union dues to get out non-union voters. The state can expect a huge influx of out-of-state union staff to work on getting out the vote -- they're already there in big numbers.
And it's likely that the Democrats will revert to some old tried-and-true tactics to get unlikely voters to the polls. In 2000, some Democratic operatives handed out cigarettes to homeless people for voting. This year, both sides have been accused of offering people food in return for voting early in the recall election. And so-called "walking around money" -- actual cash surreptitiously passed to voters, which is illegal -- is a problem with a long history in politics.
One advantage Walker may have, however, is that early voting -- once touted as a boon to get more disadvantaged, Democratic-leaning voters to participate -- hasn't always worked out that way. It's true that Democratic operatives can visit nursing homes and "help" elderly voters to fill out their mail-in ballots or other places, like homeless shelters, where they're more likely to get extra votes for Democratic candidates who promise more social benefits. But making voting somewhat easier has also made it possible for busy, gainfully employed or more affluent retired people to participate in higher numbers, which favors the GOP.
If Walker does survive the recall election June 5, it will put the state of Wisconsin in political play for the GOP in the presidential election. It seemed unlikely that Wisconsin, which went for President Obama by 14 points in 2008, would be a tossup this year. But the Republican base has been energized by the unions' attempt to oust Walker. Independents, and even some fiscally conservative Democrats, may also jump ship from Obama in the fall. If so, the electoral map looks better for Mitt Romney, which is why some in the Obama campaign are worried that their friends in the labor movement may have overreached.

It's that time of year… summer is slipping through your fingers, and you want to get away with your family to enjoy some solid time together exploring somewhere new.
Last summer, our family travelled to Whitefish, Montana for a wee getaway. The grandparents were visiting and having shown them all our lovely town has to offer, we thought they would enjoy a town just south of the border with many similarities to Fernie – a great community, an array of food and beverage choices, fantastic outdoor recreational opportunities, and views for miles.
We opted to stay at Whitefish Mountain Resort, in the Morning Eagle condo complex. It is located right at the base of the mountain and conveniently houses the rental/bike shop! The accommodation was perfect for our family, everyone had their own space which meant we could all sleep… or not sleep while the kids were.
By chance, the evening we arrived the Whitefish Trail Hootenanny was taking place at Depot Park just off downtown. An annual event held by Whitefish Legacy Partners, in support of the continued maintenance and expansion of the Whitefish Trail, it was the perfect way to start the weekend. Food trucks, live music, and an array of kids' activities! My eldest daughter thoroughly enjoyed the climbing rock wall and we all loved the atmosphere.
In the morning, we met Riley Polumbus who works in PR at the resort. The morning was for the kids. We started off by taking the Alpine Slide down to the Base Lodge. Riding a sled down the mountain over dips, around banked turns, under bridges and through a tunnel… need I say more? Everyone was smiling, and of course asking for more. At the base, we were happy to discover the café and got ourselves Americanos while our daughters tried out the strider park – perfectly situated to allow us to enjoy our much needed caffeine and the fun being had. My eldest mastered the loops, then headed to the Spider Monkey Mountain where she climbed her way to the top with the reward of a slide all the way down… over and over again.
Leaving our daughters in the capable hands of their grandparents and our amazing guide, Riley we headed up the mountain with our own bike guide Kate. Ski patrol in winter, bike patrol and trail crew supervisor in summer, she knows the mountain inside out. We started off with the hill's new and popular trail, Kashmir. And wow, it was fun! With our own flow trail "Contra" opening this summer, it was great practice and we knew we would have to go back for more. From there, we moved to the Bad Rock chair, and enjoyed Rush, Brown Sugar and Holy Diver. Short, fast and technical freeride trails made for lots of laps and fun.
We headed up to the Summit Lodge for lunch with the family, where they enjoyed the Nature Centre and we continued to ride on our own. Freebird was our next choice – a steeper and exciting flow trail taking you down the centre of the mountain. We could have stopped there, but decided what's one more run when the grandparents are visiting? Up we went, for another lap on Kashmir.
After such a fun and busy day, we headed into town where the S.N.O.W. Bus Summer Brewfest was taking place, featuring 20 micro breweries! Held back at the Depot Park, we enjoyed trying some of Montana's best before our amazing and kid-friendly dinner at Truby's. The kids definitely deserved a treat after being so great all day, so we made our way through the beautiful historic downtown to Sweet Peaks Ice Cream. And not only the kids took part in this stop!
Sunday was our last day in Whitefish, and we planned to spend it well. We checked out of our condo, and got to Loula's Café – try The Bighorn! With our bellies full, we got on our bikes and headed to Spencer Mountain while the rest of the family headed to the City Beach located on the beautiful Whitefish Lake.
Spencer Mountain is a fantastic area for singletrack riding, with a short road climb to a variety of trails of all levels. We rode Otter Pop then a couple of laps on Maple Syrup, before biking back and taking a dip to cool off! The last stop of the trip was at Montana Trading Co, for a snack and coffee for the road. What a weekend!
While there are many options to explore close to Fernie, Whitefish is definitely one to add to the list. Next time, we want to check out the Whitefish Bike Retreat, located along the Whitefish Trail and known for its family friendly nature!

The WGA Strike and the Death of Television
Adam Frucci
Filed to: solidarityFiled to: solidarity
WGA Strike
This WGA strike sucks, to be sure. If it goes on for more than three months (which is looking increasingly likely), pilot season won't happen, no new shows will be created, no new seasons will come back, and we'll be stuck with the dregs of reality TV for a full year. Yep, that means no last season of Battlestar Galactica, no new season of Lost, and no new episodes of The Office. It's no small thing, and not just because you'll be inconvenienced by marathons of Overweight Celebrity Chili Cook-Off Island or whatever the networks will throw up when they run out of new programming.
TV is not disappearing anytime soon, but clearly, it's going to be replaced by either the internet or some TV/internet hybrid. Like the music industry, the TV industry realizes that their tried-and-true business model is about to be useless, and it's lashing out in panic. Unlike the music industry, who stupidly attacked its fans, the TV industry is attacking its own creative source: writers. But the WGA wouldn't be striking if this wasn't important. We talked to both sides to get at the root of the trouble.
Eric Appel, who's written for Crank Yankers and The Andy Milonakis Show and consulted for MTVs Human Giant, told me:
"New media is where television is going. In a few years cable is just gonna be the internet. And unlike TiVo where you can skip the advertisements, in [new, network-run] streaming players you're forced to sit through the ads. The networks are making money on that, and the studios don't want to give writers any of it."
Imagine if the recording industry decided that the internet was merely a way to promote CDs and that no songs sold online counted when paying musicians. Their argument would be that people were just checking out those songs and might go buy the CD later, at which point the artist would get paid. This is essentially the argument the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) is making.
Here's what a spokesperson told me:
"New media has proven to be an effective and cost-effective promotional and marketing tool for both films and television but there is not enough marketplace data to judge its true potential, ultimate impact on traditional media or viability as a business."
Basically, they claim they don't make any money off the internet so there's nothing to share with the writers, and since "each new month brings new ways to produce, distribute and consume media and entertainment" they don't want to agree to give writers any new media residuals.
As it stands, writers get a small percentage of revenue if a show is successful and reruns often, which is why Jerry Seinfeld drives a gold-plated flying car between his mansions in the Hamptons and Dubai. At the moment, they aren't paid any residuals for new media distribution, despite the fact that online content delivery is the future.
The problem with this logic is that if new media really didn't bring in any money, there wouldn't be a problem. The writers are asking for a percentage of profits from new media - a percentage of nothing is nothing, after all.
So what this battle basically boils down to is the producers trying to move away from a residuals system, one in which writers are paid once for their work and get nothing for creating huge hits. It'll make them a whole lot more money and writers a whole lot less. And it's not just the livelihood of writers at stake; this same issue is going to come up with actors and directors as well in the near future. It's a battle for how business will be done in TV's new age, and one that will affect the entertainment that all of us consume for the foreseeable future.

A story of mastery and motivation. How a man challenged fear by making it his competitor, and friend.
Hidden far beneath an external layer of material success and physical comfort is a heavy burden, an unconscious feeling something is wrong. I have a monster inside of me. Cycling through the seasons watching life unfold, I've always been haunted by deep feelings "I'm capable of more." Material social comforts, my avoidance of fear, and the lack of impossible challenges are incongruent to how I want to live as a man.
I don't tweet or use Instagram.
I'm not shy or quiet.
I've always felt a dull ache, a strange off-balance sensation I'm awakening from a dream within a dream. Searching for something important, long ago forgotten, I feel homesick but can't remember where or even what home is. The memory teases me, always on the tip of my tongue. Then it tortures me. Hiding in a slippery evening fog of amnesia, the answer to my life is always a millimeter beyond my fingertips. My quest to remember compels me, helping me grow by setting challenging goals, relentlessly moving forward, regardless of my age.
Challenging and exploring his fear of heights, his inner demons and his contempt for complacency.

Branford, New Haven groups ready Handel's 'Messiah' Dec. 20-22
By Joe Amarante

It's a good year for local lovers of Handel's "Messiah."
Sandwiched by two New Haven Symphony performances of Handel's "Messiah" at Woolsey Hall and at the First Congregational Church of Madison, a worthy intimate version of the holiday oratorio will play out Friday, Dec. 21, in the First Congregational Church on the Branford Green.
The assembled artists and voices of Branford Messiah, in its 31st year, will perform Part I of Handel's great work under the baton of accomplished conductor Roy Wiseman, along with a professional chamber orchestra and soloists who will join more than 50 community singers.
The New Haven Symphony performances will be Thursday, Dec. 20, at 7:30 p.m. in spartan-for-audience but soaring Woolsey Hall and Saturday, Dec. 22 at 7:30 in Madison.
Branford Messiah, launched in 1986 by Ettie Minor Luckey and backed by state, shoreline and national grants, features community voices who rehearse a few times for the holiday season masterpiece. Wiseman, by the way, will conduct the piece that was the subject of his doctoral thesis.
Soloists for this performance will be soprano Lielle Berman, mezzo soprano Krysty Swann, tenor Paul Shikany and baritone Jorell Williams.
First Congregational Church, Branford Green, Friday, Dec. 21, 7:30 p.m. Free. First-come, first-serve seating.

The Bluegrass Conference is a high school sports league in Iowa. Located in South-central Iowa, the conference is home to some of the smallest schools in the state, including three of the smallest public schools in Iowa (Orient-Macksburg, Diagonal, and Moulton-Udell).

Members

History
The conference originated before 1960. Some of the members in the early days included Osceola, Bedford, Mount Ayr, Lamoni, Seymour, Corydon, and Leon. Lenox and Mormon Trail of Humeston joined the conference in 1960, as Osceola departed. In 1962, four schools left the conference to join the newly formed Tall Corn Conference.  This left the conference with Lamoni, Leon, Mormon Trail, Corydon, Seymour, and Moravia. As the years went by, some schools changed names and Southeast Warren and Melcher-Dallas joined the conference, so that by 1990 the conference looked like this:

Lamoni
Melcher-Dallas
Moravia
Mormon Trail
Wayne
S.E. Warren
Central Decatur (of Leon)
Seymour

After losing some of the bigger schools to other conferences, the Bluegrass reached out to many of the smaller schools in the area. These new schools were some of the smallest in the state. The Bluegrass Conference operated with 12 teams for a while, but with three schools having been shut down in recent years, the conference is now left with just nine schools. In 2002, Fox Valley Community School in Milton closed its doors, after the district voted to shut down the school and allow the pupils to open enroll where they wished. The next casualty came in 2008, when Russell became the first public school to be shut down by the state in over a decade. East Monona had been the most recent. Then, in 2010, Lineville-Clio was closed by the state. Currently, the conference hosts four of the six smallest public schools in the state, with Diagonal (26 BEDs), Orient-Macksburg (35), Moulton-Udell (38), and Mormon Trail (45). Not all conference schools are in as bad of shape when it comes to enrollment numbers, but all schools are easily in the 1A classification (the smallest classification for schools in Iowa).

Starting in the 2013-14 academic year, the following schools joined the conference:
 Ankeny Christian Academy (Ankeny)
 Grand View Christian School (Des Moines)
 Iowa Christian Academy (West Des Moines)
 Orient-Macksburg

Despite the enrollment figures, all schools but Diagonal and Orient-Macksburg play football, fielding 8-man teams. Before Russell and Fox Valley shut down, they also played 8-man football. Most of the schools also field teams in baseball, softball, volleyball, basketball, and track and field.

Iowa Christian Academy officials announced on November 28, 2018, that the school would close. Students were encouraged to attend Grandview Christian School.
