Selfless & Hardworking are established migrant families working in blue-collar jobs typically within factories and in transport. They do not have any significant investments, with most savings done involuntarily via superannuation. They like to possess things that show they have money and have a need to keep up with appearances via designer labels. Cars typically give their appearance a big boost.
Selfless & Hardworking are established migrant families who work in blue-color jobs within the transportation, manufacturing, and wholesale industries. With no typical paper qualifications, they typically end up in technical trades working at machinery operators, drivers, and labourers.
The houses of Selfless & Hardworking are highly likely to be owned, either outright or with a mortgage, as this Type is one of the least likely in Australia to rent. Expansive, detached 4-bedroom houses are common, built on large plots of land that are typically over 1,500m2. They are the most likely Type in their Group to have a flat attached to the house to accommodate extended family members. While far from being the most rural type, these homes in inner regional locations are often some distance from the nearest main road, coastal areas, and shopping centres. Three or four vehicles service the needs of all family members. Popular suburbs for this Type are Blacktown, Greenacre and Merrylands in NSW, and Roxburgh Park, Narre Warren South and Carnlea in Victoria.
Selfless & Hardworking enjoy doing things that show they have money. They are frequent attendees at night clubs, bars and casinos. To relax, this Type can be seen going to amusement parks and live events, or unwinding at the local beauty salon. They have also taken an interest in rugby league, soccer, basketball, boxing, and martial arts. The convenience of online shopping hasn't quite rubbed-off on them as they are more likely to just use the internet for research purposes instead of the actual purchase of products and services.
This Type relies heavily on the internet for their media consumption needs. TV is downloaded and watched on the computer, mobile phone, and tablets. They are not likely to watch subscription TV. Their mobile phone is an integral part of their life, and they are receptive to advertising. They are likely to be glued to the TV when their favourite program is being aired, and are likely to be influenced by brands with celebrity endorsements. Grocery ads on the TV or radio also influence their shopping decisions.
Despite being middle income, Selfless & Hardworking are interested in portraying a successful life. Being established migrant families, they like to possess or do things that show they have money. They typically communicate success by wearing designer labels and driving vehicles that look the part. They have limited time to shop around for day-to-day things. They enjoy weekend getaways or short breaks where everything is planned for them.

Skate comp to kick-off Youth Week celebrations
29 March, 2017Posted in: Events
Wingecarribee Shire Council, Youth, Youth Week
Wingecarribee Shire Council is set to launch this year's local National Youth Week program with a Skate Competition at the Bowral Skate Park on Saturday 1 April.
Run by Highlands Community Centre, the competition will start at 10am and will feature free giveaways, prizes, music and a barbeque lunch.
Council's official Youth Week program continues on Tuesday 4 April with the annual Triple Zero Cricket Challenge. The event will be staged at Bradman Oval and will feature staff from a variety of emergency services organisations up against students from local primary and high schools.
On Wednesday 5 April Council's Library services team will host a free Manga Drawing Workshop at Bowral Library and on Friday 7 April a pop-up cinema will be erected in Leighton Gardens where an evening screening of Suicide Squad will be aired for older youngsters.
Activities continue on Saturday 8 April at the Moss Vale War Memorial Aquatic Centre with a boot camp, music and pool games from 11am.
Council's Youth Liaison Officer Michelle Williams explained the importance of the week for the Shire's young residents.
"This year National Youth Week runs between 31 March and 9 April," she said. "The whole program provides a fantastic opportunity for teenagers and young adults across the Shire to have some fun and share their thoughts and ideas," she said.
"It also provides a chance for our youth to get involved with Council and local service organisations, meet other young people with similar interests and find out how they can get involved with other events throughout the year.
"At the same time they can take part in a range of live events and showcase their talents in a safe and drug and alcohol free environment," Ms Williams added.
For more information on Council's 2017 National Youth Week program of events visit www.wsc.nsw.gov.au/community/young-people or www.facebook.com/Southern-Highlands-Youth.
All Council organised National Youth Week events are fully supervised and drug and alcohol-free.

ou Légendes urbaines 3 - La légende de Bloody Mary au Québec () est un film américain réalisé par Mary Lambert sorti en 2005 en direct-to-video. Il est le dernier film de la trilogie . Le film abandonne la forme du slasher des précédents films et intègre à la place des événements surnaturels.

Synopsis
Salt Lake City, 1969. Trois jeunes étudiantes sont enlevées pendant un bal par leurs cavaliers. Mary, une des jeunes filles enlevées, parvint à fuir mais trouve la mort dans le sous-sol de son école. 35 ans plus tard, d'autres étudiantes ont été enlevées et retrouvées en parfaite santé. Les coupables sont les enfants des ravisseurs de 1969 qui ont suivi l'exemple de leurs pères. C'en est trop pour le fantôme de Mary qui décide de se venger en tuant les enfants de ses ravisseurs, ravisseurs eux-mêmes, en utilisant des légendes urbaines. Samantha Owens, une des filles enlevées 35 ans après la mort de Mary, et son frère jumeau Davis Owens, décident de retrouver le corps de Mary afin de l'enterrer et d'arrêter cette série de meurtres.

Georgia Militia Districts census records
Creator: Georgia. Court of Ordinary (Chatham County)
Title: Georgia Militia Districts census records
Dates: circa 1894
Extent: 0.2 cubic feet (2 volumes)
The colonial Acts of 1755 and September 29, 1773 established the creation of Militia Districts in the colony of Georgia. Under these acts, the power to create and reorganize districts belonged to the Provincial Governor. In each district, the Captain of the Company would record the names of every male between the ages of 16 and 60 within the district. This enrolled the men as members of the Militia Company. In 1792, an Act of Congress established uniform Militia laws for all of the states.
Initially, Militia Districts were not numbered, but instead named after the district Captain. The Act of December 10, 1807, changed this practice, stating that all districts must be numbered. In Georgia, some districts had already been numbered, and while some of these numbers changed, others remained, leading to duplication.
While the power to establish Militia Districts originally belonged to the Provincial Governor, from 1778 to 1799 that power was transferred to the state's Governor. The Act of February 10, 1799 transferred the power to establish and change Militia Districts again, this time to the officers of the Militia in each County, subject to the approval of the Brigadier General of each county.
In 1819, the power to establish and change Militia Districts was given to the Inferior Courts of the Counties, with an 1840 amendment requiring that the Governor be notified of all changes immediately. After a shift of power and the abolishment of Inferior Courts, the creation and changing of Militia Districts in Georgia fell to the Ordinaries of each county.
This collection consists of two volumes of census records for the 3rd and 4th Militia Districts in Chatham County, Georgia. While the volumes are undated, other census records indicate these were recorded in approximately 1894. Each volume lists the name, street address, age, and occupations, and race of male heads of household. The 4th district volume includes white males, A-M, and African American males A-Z.

Iowa State fights off Kansas, 83-68
IanSmith, Feb 27 •	0 Comments
Cyclone Fanatic's coverage of Iowa State women's basketball is brought to you by Wilson Toyota of Ames – located at 2212 S. Duff Ave.
AMES – Not this time, Kansas.
Iowa State made sure it wouldn't lose another big lead to the Jayhawks. The No. 23-ranked Cyclones fought off Kansas over the last 10 minutes on Wednesday night, winning 83-68 to stay in second place in the Big 12.
"We needed this win just because of what they did to us down there," Hallie Christofferson said. "Coming to our building, we knew we had to hold it down here."
Déja Vu nearly struck. Kansas cut a double-digit Iowa State lead to 60-57, but the Cyclones (20-6, 11-5) didn't flinch. Iowa State used a 13-0 run to break the game open, and outscored the Jayhawks 23-11 the rest of the way.
"It's nice to get to 20 wins, 6-1 in February," Iowa State coach Bill Fennelly said. "It was a great month."
Christofferson started the decisive run with a trey for a six-point edge. The lead became nine when Chelsea Poppens worked hard inside for a traditional 3-point play.
Anna Prins capped the spurt with another 3-point play to push the Cyclones' advantage to 70-57.
The Jayhawks (16-11, 7-9) didn't get closer than seven points the rest of the game as Iowa State pulled away at the free throw line by making its last 16 attempts.
Poppens capped the victory with a nice move inside to make it 81-68. The senior finished with 22 points and 11 rebounds for her seventh double-double. The Applington native made 12-of-13 free-throw tries.
"Four years ago, if you would have said Poppens shot 13 free throws, you'd cringe because she'd make five of them," Fennelly said. "Now, you're surprised when she misses."
Christofferson continued her stellar play with 20 points of her own. The Exira native is averaging 15.9 points per game in Big 12 play.
"(Christofferson) is a great offensive weapon for them," Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson said.
After hitting 7-of-8 from long range to start the game, Iowa State attacked inside. The Cyclones outscored the Jayhawks 36-16 in the paint and held the rebounding edge, 43-29.
With the regular season winding down, Iowa State controls its own destiny for second place in the Big 12. The Cyclones travel to lowly TCU on Saturday, before hosting Oklahoma State in the finale on March 4.
"Coach" of the game
The Big 12 should be doing a lot of apologizing this week. First the fiasco on Monday night, and then this little fact:
Bill Fennelly has never won Big 12 Coach of the Year.
What more does the man need to do?
In 17 seasons at Iowa State, Fennelly owns a record of 373-173 and has taken his team to the postseason 15 times. That's an average of more than 21 wins per season. Fennelly added his 12th 20-win season in Cardinal and Gold on Wednesday night.
"I feel very blessed to play for a program like this, and for a coach that knows the game like Coach Fennelly does," Anna Prins said.
The juggernaut Baylor Bears were expected to run away with the conference crown. Fennelly's done a brilliant job coaching his troops into second place.
Is it enough to snag the award?
Bill Fennelly on what he was thinking watching Kansas try to come back against Iowa State again
"I really didn't have flashbacks (of the last game)," Fennelly said. "I'm sure everyone in the crowd did."
Anna Prins on her teammate Hallie Christofferson
"Hallie, I think, is a special player and a special person. This might sound corny, but I think she's a star. She's awesome. She's a great teammate too."
– Official attendance on Wednesday was 10,681.
– Nikki Moody notched a double-double in the win. Moody tallied 12 points and 10 assists. She also grabbed five rebounds.
– Chelsea Poppens improved her average at the free throw line to 84.5 percent this season.
– Iowa State scored 19 points off turnovers.
– Brynn Williamson hit a pair of 3-pointers and finished with eight points.
– Angel Goodrich (21 points) and Monica Engelman (20 points) paced the Kansas offense.
Who's next?
Welcome to the Big 12, Texas Christian. The Horned Frogs have been beaten up during conference, winning only one game (8-19, 1-15).
Iowa State will look for a season-sweep on Saturday at TCU. Earlier this season, the Cyclones topped the Horned Frogs 68-52.
Chelsea Poppens sparked Iowa State in the first tilt. The senior scored 24 points and grabbed 15 rebounds. Hallie Christofferson chipped in 14 points in the victory.

A common mistake when purchasing an air compressor is making a selection based on capital cost alone rather than reviewing the total equipment ownership costs. Since energy consumption and equipment maintenance can quickly drive up ownership costs, it is critical to understand what contributes to these expenses at your facility. To get started in your cost savings journey this year, you must first identify the following costs associated with your system.
According to Energy Star, 76% of compressor ownership costs go towards the electricity required for operation. This paired with the rising cost of energy means the goal at your facility should be delivering the required demand of air with the lowest amount of energy possible. To calculate compressed air energy costs you must first track rated power, motor efficiency, service factor, running hours, and energy rate.
The percentage of electrical input that the motor uses to power the air compressor is referred to as the efficiency rating. Although there is a large range of efficiencies, generally the older and smaller the compressor motor is, the less efficient it is. As an example, a 100 HP premium efficiency motor typically has a motor efficiency rating at around 96%. Review your motor manufacturer's datasheet to find this efficiency rating.
Service factor is a rating applied to a motor that determines how far it can operate over the rated horsepower without damaging the motor. For example, a service factor of 1.15 means the motor can operate at 15% over the rated horsepower, 1.20 equates to 20% over, and so on. It is not a good practice and potentially damaging to continuously operate motors above the rated load in the service factor area. When reviewing compressor capacities, bear in mind some manufacturers promote a full load that utilizes a portion of the service factor.
The running hours of your unit is the amount of time it is operating at a given power value, usually on a per year basis. This assessment tends to be grouped by labor shifts due to air demand changes between shifts. Continuous running machines typically operate 8,000 hours per year.
The energy rate for your area may be obtained from your local power company. For reference, the average power cost per kW is .12 cents in the USA and .33 cents (USD) in Germany.
Even the most reliable machinery requires maintenance to keep functioning at maximum efficiency. Since maintenance requirements vary between compressor technologies, it is essential to have a firm understanding of what you are spending on consumable products, condensate removal, and airend replacement.
Consumable products include anything that needs to be replaced at regular intervals such as filters, separators, and oil. The rate at which these need serviced varies wildly based on the type of compressor you use. For compressors that are not oil-free, it is important to understand the downstream filter replacement costs as they can quickly add up over time and result in pressure drops that require additional energy to overcome. Oil-flooded machines also require oil to be changed every 6-12 months, while oil-free compressors can last 2-3 years on the minimal oil they need to operate. For operators looking to extend the time between changes, full synthetic oil is an ideal solution and offers less downtime and maintenance costs.
While both oil-flooded and oil-free compressors produce condensate, that of oil-flooded units makes a water/oil mixture which either must be properly disposed of or use a filtration system to separate the oil from the water. Proper condensate disposal could result in costs of $50,000 per year and is something to take in consideration when making a compressor decision.
As compressors age, replacing the airend is often an option to improve overall performance. Depending on the technology, some airends are designed to last 3-5 years while others are rated for 20 years of continuous operation. This replacement cost may be upwards of 70% of the original equipment price, so it is important to get a professional opinion and to weigh your options.
Collecting and tracking these figures may seem at first a daunting task. However, once you present to management the thousands of dollars a year you are saving on compressed air alone the initial work will be well worth it and contribute to a healthy bottom line at your company.
Download our "The Hidden Costs of Air Compressor Operation" white paper to learn about hidden compressed air costs that could be impacting your bottom line and how one company saved $125,000 annually by tracking and optimizing their compressed air system.

Lee Goldstein
MGH Research Fellows
BU School of Medicine profile
For nearly 30 years, the funding provided by the Rappaport Foundation to physicians and researchers has allowed brilliance to flourish and breakthroughs to triumph in the areas of neurologic diseases and mental illness.
Dr. Goldstein has developed a breakthrough optical imaging device that is able to identify a marker of early Alzheimer's disease. Eventually, such a test might be used to measure the effectiveness of new strategies to treat or prevent Alzheimer's symptoms and to diagnose the disease in its earliest stages, when new treatments are likely to be most effective. Dr. Goldstein is associate director for Basic Research at the Center for Ophthalmic Research of the BWH Department of Surgery, a member of the psychiatry departments at MGH and BWH and the MGH Laboratory for Oxidation Biology, and assistant professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School.
Dr. Goldstein's work is focused on understanding the role of abnormal protein aggregation in chronic degenerative disorders of aging. The work in his laboratory concentrates on Alzheimer's disease, age-related cataracts, and other common diseases of aging that involve pathogenic protein aggregation. His team recently discovered the first evidence of Alzheimer's disease-associated amyloid pathology outside the brain as well as a new transcription factor that plays a crucial role in cellular differentiation within the lens and brain. He and his laboratory are developing a laser-based diagnostic technology that will hopefully detect Alzheimer's disease years before the first symptoms emerge.
The Rappaport funding provided salary and fringe benefit support to Dr. Goldstein during a time when he was pursuing continued funding for his important research.

Today we'll evaluate Barnes & Noble Education, Inc. (NYSE:BNED) to determine whether it could have potential as an investment idea. Specifically, we'll consider its Return On Capital Employed (ROCE), since that will give us an insight into how efficiently the business can generate profits from the capital it requires.
So, Barnes & Noble Education has an ROCE of 6.5%.
Is Barnes & Noble Education's ROCE Good?
When making comparisons between similar businesses, investors may find ROCE useful. In this analysis, Barnes & Noble Education's ROCE appears meaningfully below the 13% average reported by the Specialty Retail industry. This performance is not ideal, as it suggests the company may not be deploying its capital as effectively as some competitors. Setting aside the industry comparison for now, Barnes & Noble Education's ROCE is mediocre in absolute terms, considering the risk of investing in stocks versus the safety of a bank account. It is possible that there are more rewarding investments out there.
As we can see, Barnes & Noble Education currently has an ROCE of 6.5% compared to its ROCE 3 years ago, which was 2.7%. This makes us think about whether the company has been reinvesting shrewdly.
When considering this metric, keep in mind that it is backwards looking, and not necessarily predictive. ROCE can be misleading for companies in cyclical industries, with returns looking impressive during the boom times, but very weak during the busts. This is because ROCE only looks at one year, instead of considering returns across a whole cycle. Future performance is what matters, and you can see analyst predictions in our free report on analyst forecasts for the company.
Barnes & Noble Education has total assets of US$1.3b and current liabilities of US$685m. Therefore its current liabilities are equivalent to approximately 52% of its total assets. Barnes & Noble Education's current liabilities are fairly high, making its ROCE look better than otherwise.
Notably, it also has a mediocre ROCE, which to my mind is not an appealing combination. But note: Barnes & Noble Education may not be the best stock to buy. So take a peek at this free list of interesting companies with strong recent earnings growth (and a P/E ratio below 20).


A Coverville response to Rolling Stone magazine's recent poll asking readers to pick the 10 Worst Songs Of The 80's!
The thing about these polls is that most people say what they think the appropriate answer is – remember all those polls that had Bohemian Rhapsody repeatedly voted as the best song ever, because, once there has been a poll, people just repeat it. Come to think of it, Rolling Stone compiled a top 500 songs of all time list a few years back and "Like a Rolling Stone" was voted number one. Yeah, right, what a coincidence.
I am an 80's child and a massive 1985 fan and I still think "We built this city" is fantastic, and reminds me of that exact year. Here's what my take on it was.
Bernie Taupin (writer of said worst song ever…has some form as a songwriter…) must be laughing all the way to the bank.
The main reason "worst of" lists like this one in Rolling Stone are usually rubbish is that we've mostly forgotten all the really bad songs (or at least, all the completely dull, unremarkable ones). There's only maybe 10% of what was on the radio back then which is still familiar to the average punter.
Maybe it should be titled "The Worst 80s songs, from the ones we actually remember", or maybe "The 80s hits which have become annoying in hindsight, as opposed to the ones that were always terrible which were quickly forgotten".
P.S. Bobby McFerrin is an absolute champion!!
This was a great show, YumYumOrange and the echoeing green are old favorites of mine. The Bloodsugars and ElectroFalco are finds, thanks great set it worked very well.
Personally I don't care what Rolling Stone says, just a bunch of 60 something old hippies trying to stay relevent with stupid polls about music. When magazines cant find anything to fill their pages, they crate something to write about by taking a poll. Many of these songs were just overplayed by commercial radio, these covers prove that there was nothing wrong with the music, just the media machine that played them into the ground.
Harry – As RS said in its intro, Don't blame the editors of RS. They didn't make the list – this time.
The cover of "We Built This City" was awesome. Very timely, given the Occupy Wall Street & union unrest this year. Thanks Brian!
I have to laugh a bit at the results of this poll – I'm a definite 80s kid, and I loved all but 2 of these songs when they were out. The covers are fantastic – I especially liked the country twist on Wake Me Up Before You Go Go and the cover of We Built This City.

Q: My python 3.4 button won't count the number of times it's clicked I run python 3.4, and I know some stuff about programing but i can't make my program count the number of times the user clicks on the button. Here is what i tried.
import tkinter as tk

counter = 0
def counter_label(label):
    counter = 0
def mbutton():
  def count():
    global counter
    counter +=1
    label.config(text=str(counter))
    label.after(1000, count)
  count()

root = tk.Tk()
root.title("Counting Seconds")
label = tk.Label(root, fg="green")
label.pack()
counter_label(label)
button = tk.Button(root, text='button', command=mbutton).pack()
root.mainloop

I hit the button and then it keeps counting, so tried different combonations of the equal and plus sign.
example 1:
counter =+1

example 2:
counter +1

That's all I could think of and reserch helped a little bit with my placing of my code, but thank you for your help. Sorry if there are any grammar errors.

A: The problem isn't what you think it is. Currently, you're operating under the assumption that you're not correctly adding together numbers in your code. In reality, your code just isn't running at all.
Specifically, in your last line of code, you do root.mainloop. However, mainloop is a function so in order to call it, you need to do root.mainloop(). Doing root.mainloop is a statement -- you're telling Python "here is a function" -- Python won't do anything. It does build up the GUI, and wires everything together, but never actually starts running and displaying the GUI. When you do root.mainloop(), you actually call the function and execute it, making use of everything you just wrote.
So, you now have the following code:
import tkinter as tk

counter = 0
def counter_label(label):
    counter = 0
def mbutton():
  def count():
    global counter
    counter +=1
    label.config(text=str(counter))
    label.after(1000, count)
  count()

root = tk.Tk()
root.title("Counting Seconds")
label = tk.Label(root, fg="green")
label.pack()
counter_label(label)
button = tk.Button(root, text='button', command=mbutton).pack()
root.mainloop()

However, when you try and run this, you'll run into another problem -- clicking the button doesn't increment the counter just once, but causes rapidly start increasing.
The problem is with the line label.after(1000, count). What this is doing is telling your label "hey, after 1000 milliseconds, automatically run the count function again. When you run the count function again, it'll run into that line and try and run the count function again after another 1000 milliseconds, etc...
It loops forever.
Instead, get rid of that line (and get rid of the unnecessary count function):
import tkinter as tk

counter = 0

def counter_label(label):
    counter = 0

def mbutton():
    global counter
    counter +=1
    label.config(text=str(counter))

root = tk.Tk()
root.title("Counting Seconds")
label = tk.Label(root, fg="green")
label.pack()
counter_label(label)
button = tk.Button(root, text='button', command=mbutton).pack()
root.mainloop()

One final problem is that counter_label isn't actually doing anything. It accepts a label as a parameter, but doesn't actually do anything with it. It also sets the counter to zero, but since you never declared counter to be global, it never actually modifies the global counter. In any case, your counter is already zero, so there's no point in setting it to zero again.
We can omit it entirely. Also, mbutton isn't a very descriptive name for a function -- it might be better to rename it into something more descriptive of the action that will be carried out:
import tkinter as tk

counter = 0

def increment_counter():
    global counter
    counter += 1
    label.config(text=str(counter))

root = tk.Tk()
root.title("Counting Seconds")

label = tk.Label(root, fg="green")
label.pack()

button = tk.Button(root, text='button', command=increment_counter).pack()

root.mainloop()

In Jewish myths Lilith is pictured as the wife of Adam. She was created after Adam and from the same dust.
Such a story is contrary to the story of Eve and Adam. In the story of Eve and Adam, Eve was created out of one of Adams ribs.
Additionally, in the writings of Isaac ben Jacob ha-Cohen (dated to the 13th century), Lilith refused to be dominated by Adam and left him for Archangel Samael. After the romance with Samael, Lilith refused to come back to the Garden of Eden.
It is clear that in Jewish myths, Lilith is pictured as a demon. The archetype Lilith appeared in Babylonian Talmud around the period of 3rd to 5th centuries.
This archetypal picture of the night demon Lilith has its roots in ancient Mesopotamian religion (texts of Sumer).
The seal of Lilith has two variations. Above you see the first variant.
The second seal of Lilith is produced by the method of reduction of repetitive letters in the name Lilith (not Hebrew letters!).
Both seals of Lilith are very popular, but the most important fact is this: they work!
This seal of Lilith is derived by method of culling out repetitive letters in the name Lilith.
"The ninth Sephira is Yesod, or the fundamental principle. The Spirits of Yesod are the Cherubim or Angels, those powers which fecundate the earth, and which are represented in Hebrew symbolism under the form of bulls.
Archangel Gabriel rules the Sephira Yesod. The spirits of Yesod are the Cherubim (Angels).
Their Empire is that of fecundity. They correspond to true ideas.
Lilith rules the Qlipha Gamaliel which is the shell of Sephira Yesod.
You can use the correspondences of Yesod in spells with Lilith.
Note: you can also use red and deep burgundy seals of Lilith for matters of lust and seduction. I have read the book of Ellen Dugan " How to enchant a man" and she advises to use such colors in lust spells with Lilith.
The seal of Lilith can be dark red for seduction and lust spells.

Fear Itself: The New Deal and the Origins of Our Time
In This Review
By Ira Katznelson
Liveright, 2013 720 pp. $29.95 Purchase
By casting fear as the linchpin of politics and policymaking in the New Deal era, Katznelson tackles a big topic and makes it even bigger. Many histories of the New Deal cast U.S. President Franklin Roosevelt as a hero, quashing fear and winning the day for democratic principles, remaking the nation's social contract, and committing his country to the cause of global peace. Katznelson eschews this formula, focusing instead on the southern Democrats in Congress who emerged as the pivotal characters in the New Deal's transformation of the American state. Katznelson painstakingly details how Roosevelt's agenda would not have been possible without the endorsement by southern representatives of a massive expansion of federal power at home. "Without the South," Katznelson asserts, "there could have been no New Deal." At each point, Katznelson masterfully documents the extent to which southern Democrats decreed as a nonnegotiable precondition to any legislative action the prevention of African Americans in the South from benefiting from the New Deal in any way.

General Fiction / Fantasy
The Last Stratiote
LeAnn Neal Reilly
Zephon Books (Sep 23, 2013)
Bronze, Fantasy (Adult Fiction)
Clarion Rating: 5 out of 5
James Goodman, ICE agent, becomes entwined in a supernatural world that follows primal laws of blood debt.
Many current horror and hyper-fantasy novels are published for the young adult audience. The Last Stratiote fills the gap for adults who want big novels with big ideas, as well as mature themes and characters.
Homeland Security ICE agent James Goodman pursues Albanian human traffickers that abduct the woman he loves. As he is about to capture them, they're viciously and methodically killed by a predatory female with lethal preternatural fighting skills. Becoming what appears to be mortally wounded, the woman still kills the last kidnapper. LeAnn Neal Reilly, also the author of the novels The Mermaid's Pendant and Saint Sebastian's Head, writes, "With the last of her strength, she gripped his neck and looked into his heartless black eyes … Then she bit down on his carotid with all her furious soul."
James uses his own blood to give the woman an emergency blood transfusion. Imagine his surprise when she makes an appearance at his apartment the same night she was injured. He learns her name is Elira Dukajini. She is a Stratiote, an ancient Albanian warrior who seeks vengeance that can only be satiated by blood. Elira's irresistible force is like a black hole that sucks James into her primal and violent core.
The Last Stratiote contains the relentless pace of James Patterson's novels; the political intrigue and pragmatic characters found in Daniel Silva's and Jeffery Archer's books; and the historicity, philosophy, and theology of Anne Rice's work. The novel is a reinvention of the vampire mythos, bringing new blood to the tired trope. It is infused with intensity and intelligence that does not emphasize vampirism.
The vampires and mythical creatures in Rice's books and Stephanie Myers's Twilight series long for their humanity and glisten in the sunlight. The vampire aspects of Reilly's novel are understated, making it more horrific. For example, the following excerpt describes an action that is terrifying because it is unexpected and almost banal: "A grin widened his features as he placed his palms flat on the sidewalk and lowered his head to lap the blood." The brevity and simplicity of the passage strike a chord of fear as it illustrates that drinking blood for this character is an ordinary, everyday thing. He isn't a count in an opera cape or a handsome young man brooding over his inability to love. Evil is given a face in the novel, and the monsters are real and familiar on its pages.
This reality is not limited to the novel's villains. There are no black-and-white lines of moral division; all of the characters in The Last Stratiote exist in ambiguous shades of gray. Each character possesses an item or object that defines his or her essence. This is brilliantly illustrated by the protagonist Elira. She lives by her knife but carries what she calls her "relic," a former lover's finger inside a cloth bag tied around her neck. This idiosyncrasy, among others—such as her drug addiction, her propensity to compose what she calls blood Haiku, and her appreciation for the works of Shakespeare—functions like a pair of 3D glasses that make the story come to life.
The result is a novel that conveys sensuality and eroticism that stimulate the libido and the mind. Other works in this genre stick to the same formula of sex and youth. The Last Stratiote excels on so many levels. Reilly must write a sequel.

Certainly is a tidy sum. Do we know anything about this chap. Was he with Younghusband company. ?
Very sadly we will never know what company most 1/24th men were attached as all the records were lost on the battlefield at Isandlwana.
However with that said, some are identifiable in Norman Holmes book 'The Silver Wreath' by company but interestingly they all appear to have been in 'H' company.
Of course any 2/24th man is easily identified as being with Pope's 'G' Company in the battle.
1. - I offered £7.5K for this medal, which has been declined.
2. - there were many boys from the 2nd Btn 24th who were killed on the Isandhlwana battle field; conversely, how many soldiers of the 1/24th were out with Chelmsford's column at the time?
A fair number of the 1st Btn were NOT killed on the battlefield on that day. If they were not on the battlefield on that day, they were either in Chelmsford's column or elsewhere, but where else might they have been? Sorry if I appear to be a complete novice in this area - well I am actually - but i have read that 1st btn were in the camp at Isandhlwana, but the 2nd were out in Chelmsford's column, but it is not as cut and dried as that, is it?
Off hand, without referring to my books there were something like 400+ members of the 1/24 and approx. 170 members of the 2/24 killed in the battle. Six members of the 1/24 survived the battle and none from 'G' Comapny 2/24.

Recent Weaknesses and Areas of Emphasis for Alabama Football
Travis Reier, Host of "Southern Fried Sports" and senior analyst for BamaOnline, pointed out a few areas of emphasis for Alabama Football Monday morning. Specifying a few position groups that appear weaker than recent Saban-era teams.
Offensively, the big guys up front will be the crucial pieces to replace. Though, both the left and right tackles appear to have a smoother transition, than at center and guards, but as an extension to the line the bigger question may revolve around the depth at tight end.
"With Jonah Williams moving on to the NFL with the first-round pick," Reier said. "Ross Pierschbacher moving on to the NFL as a mid-round pick. You are talking about a couple of guys, that between them gave you a combined seven seasons of starts. Three for Williams, four for Pierschbacher, so in experience alone, taking a step back."
Reier combined the running backs and quarterbacks together as another area of weakness. Mainly since there is change in the range of differing play styles.
"You look at Najee Harris," Reier said. "You look at Tua Tagovailoa, you look at Brian Robinson, and you think well that doesn't look like a weakness to me."
Hear the full breakdown of Reier's areas of emphasis heading into the 2019 season in the video above.
"When you talk about the ability to pound on people and grind out yards," Reier continued. "you're gonna be good there. But you are gonna need a little something different like Josh Jacobs gave you, even Damian Harris to an extent, and that's where Trey Sanders the five-star running back comes in."

The New Zealand Army uniform has changed over the years from that of the original Armed Constabulary of the 1800s to the modern Army Combat Uniform style in use by the majority of world armies today. While British Army influence has always been strong, distinctive New Zealand features have gradually developed. From 2013 the New Zealand Army uniform underwent a complete redesign with a new and distinctive camouflage pattern unique to the NZDF.

During the New Zealand Wars of 1846–1886, settler militia and Māori allies in a variety of clothing styles served alongside the regulars of the British Imperial forces who wore their red and blue undress uniforms until plain dark blue field uniforms were adopted after 1860. Militia and volunteer uniforms consisted of "blue shirt, a cap similar to that worn by sailors, and any kind of trousers". Māoris served throughout the wars in the 1860s, generally in tribal groups, or as members of the European volunteer forces. In the later stages of the Land Wars the government passed the Armed Constabulary Act of 1867, replacing both the British regular and local militia regiments. The Armed Constabulary had combined military and police functions and was the forerunner of both the NZ Army and the New Zealand Police. Members wore a blue woollen uniform with black braiding, a red stripe down the trouser seam and either a round "pill box" forage cap or a peaked kepi-like headdress. In the field this was often worn with "shawl dress", including a kilt or Māori Piupiu for convenience in wading across streams and rivers. By 1870 the last British regiment had left New Zealand.

Boer War uniforms
The New Zealand contingent serving in South Africa from 1899–1902 sometimes wore the British pith helmet with standard khaki drill uniform and puttees. The usual headdress however was the Australian style slouch hat, worn at this stage in its history without the turned-up brim. The New Zealand and other colonial contingents in this war affected a more casual dress style than the more strictly disciplined British regulars.

Volunteers and Territorial Army

The Volunteers were created by the Militia Act of 1858, and continued until 1910. The force consisted of infantry, cavalry, and artillery, and was usually formed for specific tasks and duties. The various volunteer militia units in existence until 1910 wore a variety of scarlet, dark blue or rifle-green dress uniforms, generally closely following contemporary British Army patterns. Some units, recruited in coastal areas, favored Royal Navy style dress.

The Volunteer forces became unpopular and the Defence Act of 1909 called for the Volunteer Force to be replaced by a Territorial Force manned through compulsory military service.

Since 1902 a khaki serge service uniform had been general issue. The regional regiments of the new Territorial Army, which replaced the militia, wore the universal "1912 Uniform" of khaki in a greenish/brown shade, worn with a slouch hat. Officers frequently wore the peaked cap of the British Army.

Units were distinguished by regimental badges attached to the turned up brim of the hat; and branches by colored piping on tunic shoulder straps and trouser seams.
Dark blue dress uniforms were authorised for officers and members of the small Permanent Staff (regular cadre).

World War I uniforms

New Zealand's Territorial Force formed the basis of the New Zealand Expeditionary Force (NZEF) sent to help the British in World War I although there was no formal military connection between the Territorials and the NZEF. Most volunteers who joined the NZEF had received military training in the Territorials.

From 1914-1915 New Zealand soldiers wore the Territorial Force uniform issued in 1912. Until 1916 coloured piping on the shoulders of the New Zealand-made jackets indicated branch of service.

During the Gallipoli campaign New Zealand troops wore a variety of hot-weather khaki drill uniforms with either slouch hats or the Peaked cap of the British Army. Supply difficulties and the harsh nature of terrain and climate during this campaign meant that little emphasis was placed on smartness or uniformity of dress.

After the Gallipoli campaign the New Zealand Expeditionary Force replaced the Territorial Force uniform with khaki uniforms of British style together with the distinctive campaign hat that would come to be nicknamed the "lemon squeezer" in New Zealand. The "lemon squeezer" was adopted by the 11th Regiment (Taranaki Rifles) about 1911 and became general issue for all New Zealand units during the latter stages of World War I. The different branches of service were distinguished by coloured puggaree or wide bands around the base of the crown (blue and red for artillery, green for mounted rifles, khaki and red for infantry etc.).

The uniforms worn on the Western Front included a mounted service pattern greatcoat, the Brodie helmet when in combat, and the universal combat boots and puttees wrapped around the legs. The conspicuous coloured branch facings were phased out after 1916, although surviving on the campaign hats.

Inter-war period

The reduced peace-time New Zealand forces of the period 1920–39 retained what was essentially a smartened version of the Western Front uniform of 1916–18. Puttees however were replaced by short anklets during the 1930s and a dark-blue dress uniform was approved in 1938 to encourage voluntary recruiting for Territorial units. Only bands resumed the scarlet parade uniforms of the pre-1910 Volunteer era.

The lemon squeezer with a wide range of coloured "pugaree" hat-bands to distinguish branches and units was retained in most orders of dress.

Until mechanization, the Mounted Rifles regiments wore their own version of the slouch hat, with a green pugaree.

World War II uniforms

During the earlier stages of the War the 2nd New Zealand Expeditionary Force wore the traditional "lemon squeezer" Campaign hat with the universal "NZ" badge. The hat with its conspicuous coloured pugarees and wide rigid brim was largely replaced by more practical forage caps and berets during the Italian Campaign of 1943–44.

A high-collared khaki service uniform, drawn from peace-time issue, was soon replaced by British battle dress in common with other Commonwealth forces (with the exception of Australia which continued to use their World War I uniforms.) In late 1939 large scale manufacture of Battle dress uniforms was started in New Zealand by numerous local clothing manufacturers. The New Zealand version was almost identical to British 1937 pattern, made in Serge twill but of a darker brown, while the stitching was a contrasting light colour. The NZ blouse had a six button fly front, rather than the British five. In North Africa the New Zealanders wore light khaki Drill cotton short-sleeved shirts and shorts.

During the Pacific Campaign in 1943–1944, members of the 3rd New Zealand Division were issued New Zealand-designed and manufactured light-weight khaki shirts and pants in plain drill material. A second New Zealand-made blouse with four front pockets in a camouflage pattern consisting of dark green, chocolate brown, black, and lime green was issued for combat use.

In combat the Brodie helmet was also worn. The helmet was assembled in New Zealand from Australian materials and could be worn with a hessian cover held with a draw-string. A black diamond was sewn on the helmet cover, usually with the NZ Forces badge with "NZ" and "Onward" mounted on the diamond. Latter-war helmets were also imported complete from Australia.

Korean War uniforms

New Zealand committed an artillery regiment and a company from RNZASC in the Korean War. New Zealand uniforms were basically the same as other participating Commonwealth forces, as all Commonwealth forces served in the British 1st Commonwealth Division. British, Canadian, New Zealand, and South African forces entered the war wearing World War II-style battle dress with different headdress, such as berets, forage caps, and slouch hats to distinguish each other. Australia never adopted British Battle dress during World War II but did eventually adopt it later in Korea. The colours of each nation's Battle dress differed. Canadian Battle dress had since World War II been more green than the British, and New Zealand Battle dress was always  a darker brown. The Battle dress worn by the South African Air Force serving in Korea was more of a tan colour.

Due to the harsh and freezing conditions of the Korean winter Allied forces had to source suitably protective clothing by any means available. The British issued the "1950 Combat dress" which was based on the U.S. Army M1943 Uniform Commonwealth troops often had to wear a mix-and-match of British and American cold weather clothing, depending on supply, proximity, and availability.

Malayan conflict, Borneo
British-pattern Battle Dress was worn until the late 1950s, with British-issue "Jungle Greens" being used as field wear with Beret or Khaki Cap and British Boonie hat (usually called a "J hat") during the Malayan Emergency, and Borneo.

Vietnam War

In Borneo in 1966, the New Zealand rifle companies wore coloured bands on their jungle hats as a means of recognising and identifying friendly forces in the jungle. The C Company band was black. C Company and D Company formed the basis of the first infantry deployment into Vietnam, Victor Company, with black becoming the colour of the company. When Victor Company arrived in 1967 the Company members wore a black cravat embroidered with a small white Kiwi bird. At first this was worn as part of the formal dress (although never official) but as the "JGs" worn by New Zealanders were almost identical to their Australian counterparts, the cravat was then sometimes worn on operations to distinguish the New Zealanders from the Australians, especially with the first and second Victor companies. The New Zealand artillery battery serving in Vietnam also used a black cravat with an embroidered white Kiwi bird for both dress uniform and sometimes as field wear.

New Zealand adopted Australian JGs from 1967 and were initially supplied from 1 ATF stocks. Subsequent New Zealand-made JGs were made with one difference in that the shirt pocket flaps were V-shaped and the pockets pleated, otherwise they were identical. In 1968, the Australian military replaced the straight breast pockets of their field shirts with slanted pockets and the shirt was designed to be worn outside of the trousers, in the style of American jungle fatigues. Additional pockets were placed on the upper sleeves of the shirt. The Australian soldiers nicknamed this updated uniform the "pixie suit" (for the slant of the pockets resembling pixie ears.) The new uniform was adopted by both Australian and New Zealand forces but both remained in use, depending on supply. The New Zealand-issue "pixie suits" were made in New Zealand. Boots were Australian-issue jungle boots.

New Zealand artillery men and infantry travelling on APCs, trucks, or jeeps often wore the standard U.S M1 steel helmet sometimes with World War II-era netting, and later with U.S-issue "Vine Leaf" helmet covers. The M1 helmet had become standard issue around 1960, replacing the World War II "Brodie" helmet. Flak jackets were also worn.

Although Australians were forbidden by 1 ATF Command, some local acquisition of U.S jungle fatigues and other equipment from the U.S quartermaster by New Zealanders also occurred. The American uniforms were more suited for carrying maps and other documents and items and were thus popular with RNZIR platoon leaders, mortar crew, and artillery men.

Members of the NZ SAS officially wore American jungle fatigues in ERDL camouflage pattern as standard issue during the Vietnam War period and through the 1970s thereafter. Some local acquisition of South Vietnamese Tigerstripe camouflage pattern uniforms occurred also but this was very rare and never official.

Australian and New Zealand troops wore the British jungle hat until 1968 after which local versions were produced. The New Zealand-made boonie hat was slightly different to the Australian one in that it had press studs so the brim could be folded up.

The two New Zealand Army training teams, 1NZATTV serving in 1971 and 2NZATTV serving in 1972, additionally wore name tags above their right shirt pocket and "NZ ARMY" above their left pockets in the same convention as the U.S Army.

1970s - 1990s

While New Zealand Army dress has historically shared similarities with British and Australian uniforms, the high crowned "lemon squeezer" campaign hat remains the most identifiable New Zealand distinction. Having been in abeyance since the 1950s, the "lemon squeezer" was reintroduced for ceremonial wear in 1977.

Jungle Greens continued to be worn as field wear during the 1970s until British Disruptive Pattern Material (DPM) was adopted in 1980 as the camouflage pattern for clothing. The new camouflage uniforms were in the British 1968 Pattern, fully replacing the JGs. The original DPM colours were further modified several times to better suit New Zealand conditions. This evolved pattern is now officially referred to as New Zealand disruptive pattern material (NZDPM.)
 In the mid-1990s a quantity of British windproof smocks were purchased as the indigenously developed DPM camouflage woollen "Swanndri" had never really found favour due to its weight (especially when wet), bulk and impractical cut.

In 1997 a new uniform was issued which resembled the cut of the British "Combat Soldier 95" jungle DPM shirt and trousers. The shirt and trousers feature double knees, elbows and seat. Rank slides were worn on the shoulders. NZDPM remained the camouflage pattern. A lightweight 100% cotton NZDPM windproof smock was issued, which had a rank slide on the front, covered buttons and an integral hood.

A wide brimmed khaki slouch hat with green puggaree, of a pattern formerly worn by the New Zealand Mounted Rifle regiments, replaced the khaki "No 2" British Army peaked cap as Service dress uniform headdress for all branches in 1998.

The M1 steel helmet was the standard Combat helmet from 1960–2000. With the introduction of DPM camouflage pattern for clothing in 1980, helmet covers in NZDPM pattern soon replaced the helmet covers previously used which were earlier Vietnam War-era reversible USMC Standard ("Vine Leaf") and Mitchell ("brown clouds") and latter U.S ERDL pattern covers.

In the 1990s a universal pattern mess uniform comprising a scarlet mess jacket with blue-black trousers replaced the various regimental and corps mess dress uniforms previously worn, and is worn by officers and senior NCOs for formal evening occasions. The universal mess dress also replaced the white jacket and black Barathea trousers previously worn in summer or tropical climates. The mess uniform is based on the British "infantry pattern" mess uniform.

The dark blue "No 1" dress uniform formerly worn by officers before the general adoption of mess uniforms, was last worn in the early 1990s, although it was nominally retained for wear by the chief of army on appropriate state occasions. Scarlet and blue full dress uniforms of slightly differing patterns are worn by both the New Zealand Army Band and the Officer Cadet School, together with "lemon squeezer" hats respectively in khaki or dark blue. Highland orders of dress (glengarry, kilt, and sporrans) are authorised for wear by the New Zealand Scottish Squadron of the RNZAC, at the discretion of the squadron commander. They are also authorised for the pipes and drums of the 5th (Wellington, West Coast and Taranaki) Battalion Group.

21st Century uniforms

General trends over the past two decades have included the appearance of distinctive New Zealand features in uniform details, combined with the reduction of corps and regimental distinctions in favor of standardised items of dress. The adoption of the Army Combat Uniform (ACU) by the United States in the mid 2000s has had an influence too on New Zealand uniform changes during the 21st Century.

In 2000 the M1 steel helmet was replaced by the U.S PASGT helmet. New Zealand-issue PASGT helmets made by UNICOR were identical to the U.S Marine Corps Lightweight Helmet (LWH) in that it too uses a four-point retention strap system (compared to the two-point retention of the PASGT) and the velcro-attached pad system otherwise used in the U.S MICH 2000 and ACH helmets, rather than the traditional PASGT suspension system. Helmet covers for the New Zealand PASGT helmet were locally-made in NZDPM and NZDDPM patterns by long-time NZDF contractor Hills Hats.

Until 2002, berets were in various colours according to branch or unit. Since then, under a "one beret" policy, rifle-green has become the universal colour for this headdress, except for the tan beret of the New Zealand Special Air Service and the blue beret of the New Zealand Defence Force Military Police.

The dark blue (formerly red) sashes worn by sergeants are now embroidered with a traditional Māori motif or mokowaewae denoting speed and agility. On the infantry sash, the mokowaewae appears in black, white and red diagonal 'steps', and on that of the New Zealand Scottish, in green, black and white. Short Māori cloaks are sometimes worn by senior officers as a mark of distinction on occasions of special ceremony, though they are not part of the regulation uniform.

In 2003 a desert DPM pattern, based on the British desert DPM pattern, entered use with New Zealand peacekeeping forces in Iraq, Afghanistan and Africa. Visually the NZDDPM pattern has dithering between the brown and sand colours whereas the British pattern has none. NZ SAS soldiers serving in Afghanistan were seen in Australian-issue uniforms in Crye MultiCam camouflage consisting of Under Body Armour Combat System (UBACS) shirt and Crye Gen2 combat pants.

In late 2008, the New Zealand Army commenced issue of a new combat uniform. Still in NZDPM and NZDDPM camouflage, the cut of the uniform leaned towards the concept and style of the U.S Army Combat Uniform (ACU) and is made in ripstop material. Patch pockets on the shirt were replaced by internal, vertical closure pockets and the shirt was cut for wear outside the trousers, and a camouflaged rank slide was worn on the front tab. Velcro patches on the arms enable the wearer to display removable identifying badges, such as the New Zealand flag and the round black and white Kiwi bird emblem, and the United Nations, International Security Assistance Force or Multinational Force and Observers badges as used in overseas deployments and peacekeeping missions. Unlike the ACU which has a velcro-secured mandarin collar, the New Zealand blouse retained the traditional shirt collar. When worn in the field, the uniform sleeves were rolled down, and camouflage face paint was worn. The NZDDPM version of the 2008 combat uniform was issued for use in Afghanistan, the Sinai and Lebanon.

Current uniforms

In 2012 it was announced that the Mounted Rifles Hat (MRH) was to become the standard Army ceremonial headdress with the "lemon squeezer" being retained mainly for colour parties, honour guards and other limited categories.

NZDPM and NZDDPM camouflage patterns were replaced in 2013 by a single camouflage pattern and a new uniform called the New Zealand Multi Terrain Camouflage Uniform (MCU) for all branches of NZDF. The camouflage pattern is a variant of the Ghostex family of camouflage patterns by Canadian company Hyperstealth Biotechnology Corp. The cut of the MCU is in the ACU style, with mandarin collar, Velcro closures, slanted arm pockets, and removable elbow pads. However, the MCU pants are not in the ACU style but are instead in the style of the Crye G3 combat pant with additional forward-facing thigh pockets, removable knee pads, and velcro-adjustable cuff flaps for ease of blousing, the style of which is otherwise usually associated with contemporary Special Forces and Police tactical unit assault uniforms. The MCU, with the addition of a beret or sometimes the MRH, is now the working uniform.

After several years of use, modifications to the uniform have since followed with a change in material to Teredo (polyester/cotton twill) for both uniform and boonie hat, a return to covered buttons, and the removal of the elbow and knee pad pockets.

From 2009 the Israeli-made, Australian Enhanced Combat Helmet (RBH 303 AU) became the standard issue combat helmet although the PASGT helmet is not fully phased out and is still used in training and with reservists. From late 2019 the Army began replacing the ECH with the Viper P4 ACH by Canadian company Galvion (formerly Revision Military.) NZ SAS continue to wear SOF-specific headgear such as FAST and other helmets.

In June 2019, the New Zealand Defence Force announced that NZMTP, a variant of the UK Armed Forces' MTP camouflage, itself a variant of Crye Precision's Multicam, would replace the current issue MCU camouflage pattern and the uniform will revert to the 2008 cut. These changes apply to the whole of the armed forces with the changeover to be fully completed by 2023. Reasons for the change include material sourcing challenges, poor uniform fitting for female service personnel, subpar performance of the camouflage pattern itself, as well as material pattern commonality with Crye Precision's Multicam pattern that is used by over 40 countries, allowing exploitation of current off-the-shelf military clothing and equipment for faster entry to service.
