These labels suggest an intimacy and a sense of possession. Are we to believe personal informatics are exemplars of Suchman's complementary machines and humans, where the outcome is relational, situational and can change over time? People's capacity to act is reconfigured as they interact, but is their agency being thwarted by lack of awareness?
Neither an individual view, nor a peer-to-peer view, seem to capture the richness of relationships, or the variety of motivations, or the range of use. As individuals interact with their technology and social clusters, and as they experience, curate and share their lived data, we need a broader perspective (Kuutti, 1996) which examines how other parties in the data universe interact. The situation boundaries are wider than the person and their apps.
Personal informatics extends beyond the individuals themselves and their own social clusters. The data have value as assets to the organisation providing the services; it also has value to other organisations who might want to use the data for legitimate or improper purposes, and finally it has societal value as interpreted by local and national government, regulators and other bodies (Watson and Leach, 2010).
Individuals have little knowledge of the ways their data might be used, and how or when this might affect them negatively, as it flows through these different parties. It is not so much an ambiguity in explanation, but a complete hopelessness in understanding and control, despite changing legislation and regulation or the existence of privacy notices. The situation they believe they are in is far removed from reality – the plans exist and the individuals are not in control.
If citizens cannot achieve an understanding and insight into what is happening in personal informatics and the trade-offs being made (Pirolli and Russell, 2011), what hope is there that they can take intelligent action? Personal informatics is a long way from individual sensemaking, and currently more akin to data collection sensors for exploitation by other parties – individuals as instrumentation.
Fortunately, the individual-centric research view is changing, with research into the social motivations of these technologies such as understanding the social contexts and practices. Our models, methods, techniques need to perceive the wider picture to understand what is happening and what the side-effects are, at both individual and societal levels. In the meantime, change the language from Personal Informatics – it is Exposure Informatics.

For example, people knowingly use wearables such as Fitbit, Jawbone and Apple watches (to name a few) to record their activities. Apps running in the background even record data without people releasing it.
All of this ubiquitous technology makes this data collection an effortless activity and the data trace that people leave behind is enormous. This collected data might be useful for some big companies who have algorithms in place to process it, but the real value for individuals is still vague.
Furthermore, there is a clear distinction between having data and possessing the context or tools to convert it to information. How much context would an individual need to make sense of data?
This exploratory study is looking into how data from personal informatics tools can be shared and explored for collective cause. Instead of sharing only high-level statistics of physical activities and physiological measurements, which is usually the case with personal tracking technologies, we investigate sharing and comparing of fine-grained datasets.
For example, a heart rate recorded by a Fitbit wearable – one might know what a good heart rate is for cardio training when running, but what should be one's resting heart rate when sitting behind a desk at work? Do everyone's heart rates go up when there is a stressful time in the office?
The Citizense Makers platform aims to provide people more context (in the form of social context) and allows them to ground their data using other people's data as a comparison. It gives individuals the ability to share and explore their personal data in context with other people's data, while retaining complete control over it.
It only takes couple of click to start exploring data – one needs to log in using an existing Fitbit account and then the system makes a link between the Fitbit servers. The platform can be used as a personal reflection tool and it uses scroll-based interactions to play thought a day using data recorded form a personal informatics device such as a Fitbit.
One of the main focuses of the Citizense Makers platform is data liberation – giving people back the ownership of their data and letting them decide with whom they want to share it with.
Citizense Makers platform allows people to set individual rights to each person they want to share data with, giving the control of the data back its originator. Adding a more social element to self-tracking, the system also allows people to annotate and discuss interesting relationships in the data. As this socially contextual data discovery could give more meaning to experiences and perhaps help individuals get a better understanding of their lives, it could also help them in collective sense-making, which could lead to better decisions.
The initial study looked at how data collected from personal informatics tools can be shared between occupants in workplaces and explored for a collective cause, but we can imagine this tool could be reconfigured and used in a range of different settings. We will be maintaining and improving the Citizense Makers platform to help people explore and analyse their data in ways that are understandable and meaningful for them. Eventually we will open the platform up for a larger public and link it to other interesting datasets, giving people the ability to compare and relate their data to others.

Q: Change the width of a field on an Access form at runtime I'm working to devise a custom layout system for my MS-Access forms. So far so good - I've had the idea! But now comes the tricky bit: resizing individual fields such that their width matches in an attractive manner.
Sad to say, I'm a bit stuck here - surely there must be some function, property or method call that will allow me to specify an exact width for a given field... But if so, I've been unable to find it.
Can someone here provide me with the information I so desperately need? Or better yet, suggest an appropriate Google query or reference site that could provide me with an answer to my query?

A: In code, at runtime, this is what you do:
Me!MyControl.Width = 1.5 * 1440
The 1.5 is 1.5" and the 1440 is something called TWIPs, which are relative measurement units that are sized according to screen resolution and your Windows base font size.
Now, where do you do this?
If you have different records in the same table that need different layouts, you'd do it in the OnCurrent event. That way, as you navigate from one record to another, the OnCurrent event would check whatever data controls which widths you use and set the widths. If there are only two layouts, an If/Then/Else is best. If there are more then two, then a SELECT CASE is better.
Also, if you are sizing and aligning colums, it would be helpful to assign module-level constants, something like this (this is pulled from an app that I first created in 1997 that has 15 different record types and 3 basic layouts with 8 or 9 minor variations):
Const Height = 0.1583 * 1440
Const row1Top = 1.0208 * 1440 ' top of first row
Const row2Top = row1Top + 0.2083 * 1440
Const row3Top = row2Top + 0.2083 * 1440
Const row4Top = row3Top + 0.2083 * 1440
Const row5Top = row4Top + 0.2083 * 1440
Const row6Top = row5Top + 0.2083 * 1440
Const row7Top = row6Top + 0.2083 * 1440
Const Logic0Top = 1.6833 * 1440
Const logic1Top = Logic0Top + 0.1667 * 1440
Const logic2Top = logic1Top + 0.1667 * 1440
Const logic3Top = logic2Top + 0.1667 * 1440
Const logic4Top = logic3Top + 0.1667 * 1440
Const lblLogic0Top = Logic0Top - 0.0208 * 1440
Const lblLogic1Top = lblLogic0Top + 0.1667 * 1440
Const lblLogic2Top = lblLogic1Top + 0.1667 * 1440
Const lblLogic3Top = lblLogic2Top + 0.1667 * 1440
Const lblLogic4Top = lblLogic3Top + 0.1667 * 1440
Const DateWidth = 0.7833 * 1440
Const lWidth = 2.0167 * 1440
Const rWidth = 2.7771 * 1440
Const lMemoWidth = 4.8771 * 1440
Const commtWidth = (2.745 * 1440)
Const lCommt = 3.775 * 1440
Const CommtHeight = 1.5 * 1440
Const memoHeightOffset = 0.94 '0.8354
Const bksCommtHeight = ((memoHeightOffset + 0.5) * 1440) + 250
Const ConditionWidth = 4.2417 * 1440 - 15
Const memo3Tall = ((memoHeightOffset + 1.4146) * 1440) + 160
Const memo4Tall = ((memoHeightOffset + 1.2063) * 1440) + 160
Const memo5Tall = ((memoHeightOffset + 0.9979) * 1440) + 160
Const memo6Tall = ((memoHeightOffset + 0.7896) * 1440) + 160
Const memoShort = (1.5208 * 1440) + 160 ' Height of memo
Const lblOffset = -0.3291 ' adjusts memo label top for new layout
Const lblMemoTop3 = ((lblOffset + 1.9167) * 1440) - 480 - 100
Const lblMemoTop4 = ((lblOffset + 2.125) * 1440) - 480 - 55
Const lblMemoTop5 = ((lblOffset + 2.3333) * 1440) - 480 - 100
Const lblMemoTop6 = ((lblOffset + 2.5417) * 1440) - 480 - 100
Const lblMemoTop7 = ((lblOffset + 2.75) * 1440) - 480 - 100
Const lblBib0 = (2.5833 * 1440) - 480
Const Bib1 = 2.4674 * 1440
Const Bib2 = 2.6257 * 1440
Const Bib3 = 2.784 * 1440
Const Bib4 = 2.9424 * 1440

Very complicated because the form is very complicated (the OnCurrent event got so big that I had to split it into two different subroutines -- I can't remember the exact maximum size of a subroutine, but it might be 64K. Yes, that's how bad it was, and yes, I regret implenting things in that fashion. If I had it to do over, I'd use a tab control with invisible tabs and allocate one tab per record type. But I didn't think of that way back then.
If you don't need to move or resize things vertically you might be able to get by with a handful of constants:
Col1Left
Col2LeftA
Col2LeftB
Col1WidthA
Col1WidthB
Col2WidthA
Col2WidthB

That would allow you to have two columns of controls with two different horizontal positions for the second column and two different widths for each column. I would recommend very transparent names for these constants so that your code is more-or-less self-explanatory.

A: All the properties of any given control can be referenced in VBA code by using me.CtlName.PropertyName or Forms!CtlLName.PropertyName.  In your case that would be me.CtlName.Width.
Note that the sizes of properties are in twips.  And there are 1440 twips per inch.  If you are using Metric I have no idea how many twips in cm.
That said I size my forms to match 1024x768 unless a client requestes otherwise.

A:
how to change the fields width [question]

Using SQL DDL:
ALTER TABLE MyTable ALTER MyField VARCHAR(20);

This will not affect the column's other properties e.g. it would remain NOT NULL if originally created that way and the default value (if any) would be the same.
P.S. I'm answering the OP's question, not the controversial edited.

A: Why do you want the field widths to change at runtime?  Behavior like this falls outside the typical Windows UI conventions, and will probably through your users for a loop when things start changing size after the form has been displayed.  Just give the fields a wide margin and leave the sizes alone after the form has been displayed.
For a problem like this, just think gloves.

Q: Where did the digital color meter go in Yosemite? I used to have the Digital Color Meter (system app) in my dock, but since updating to Yosemite it doesn't appear in the dock anymore ("?" sign)
Did they just move it and Dock cannot find it?

A: You can find it under Applications/Utilities.

From there, you can drag it to your Dock to create an alias.  See Mac Basics: The Dock for additional info on making the most of the Dock.
To remove the Question Mark, drag it off the Dock until you see "Remove" then release.

A: If you're looking for something, e.g. an application, you can always press Command ⌘-Space bar to bring up Spotlight and start typing the name of the object you're looking for.  In the case of an application, once opened and showing in the Dock you can control-click it and select Options > Keep in Dock if you with is to remain there, once closed.
You might find Mac Basics: Spotlight helps you find what you're looking for and Mac keyboard shortcuts interesting.


The Combined Logistics Networks has recently concluded its 14th Annual Partnership Meeting with a success! It is the best and most successful conference yet of the network. More than 300 forwarders from all over the world has joined our 2016 meeting, to know more about the network and strengthen their business relationships with fellow members.
The conference was held last March 1 – 4, 2016 at The Regent Hotel, Singapore. The CLN Annual Partnership Meeting was in conjunction with IAM Logistics Networks Conference, which is attended by more than 60 IAM members. Delegates were pleased to meet other decision makers that will help them grow their business.
Registration started on March 1, where everyone was encouraged to register and get their conference kits, on the same day, we had our CLN Golf Game at Keppel Club where we had a different podium to meet and have fun with fellow delegates. In the evening of March 1, we had our Welcome Cocktail reception at the Regent Hotel Royal Ballroom. It was an evening of reuniting old CLN friends and meeting new ones.
On March 2, CLN Director Nils Walle officially welcomed the delegates to the 14th Annual Partnership Meeting and gave updates about the network and its developments. Nils' also announced the #CLNSG2016 Selfie Competition and Video Contest, which is open to all delegates to share their selfies and videos during the conference. Mark Millar, our keynote speaker, gave a talk about Exploring Future Directions for Global Supply Chains. Download the presentation of Mark Millar, by clicking the picture below.
Our Diamond Sponsor, Global Maritime Services Co Ltd (Vietnam) was given the privilege to introduce and discuss their services and the background of their company. Our members from Singapore also discussed the history, ports, and places to visit in Singapore to let our delegates know more about Singapore. Our partner WiseTech Global discussed about "Productivity- Inevitability" with a hope that our delegates may be able to apply this in their business.
On the afternoon of March 2 and whole day of March 4, hundreds of face-to-face meetings were scheduled between the delegates. The CLN delegates were able to rekindle the friendship of members and started to develop new business and ideas together.
All delegates were invited to have a dinner night out after a long day of face-to-face meetings. Our delegates had a chance to relax and catch-up with other delegates. We went to Hard Rock Café Singapore where we had a sumptuous international buffet with different selections of cocktails while having a good time with CLN delegates. The CLN Loyalty Awards were handed out as well to those members who have been with the network for 3 years, 5 years, 8 years, 10 years, and a special mention to our honorary members who have been with the network for almost 14 years now.
On March 3, we have organized a full day social activity for our delegates. On the morning, we have arranged a fun run sponsored by ClearFreight (USA) at the Singapore Botanic Gardens. After resting from the run, we headed out for our group outing around Singapore. We visited Gardens by the Bay and went to try the Skywalk to have a better view of Singapore Skyline. And of course, visiting Singapore will not be complete if we did not go to Merlion Park where we had our epic group photo.
On the evening of March 3, we had prepared a sunset cocktail for the delegates at Tanjong Beach Club at Sentosa Island. We had a different view of Singapore while enjoying beers and food.

The other side of the gender fenceTG gun
When Tyler went out on the town, he didn't go home until he got some pussy, and sometimes, on a slow night he needed a little help. He wasn't talking roofies–the prospect of fucking an unresponsive body creeped him out, and besides, he wasn't about to do anything illegal. No, the stuff that he used technically didn't exist (at least not officially) so there was no legislation against it. It was a win-win situation all the way.
All you needed was a vial of the powder, some booze, and a fucked-up guy who no one would really mind if he disappeared. Tyler found his mark about two-thirty, when a tanned, douchebag meat-head stumbled into the club, shouting about "stupid bitches" and knocking back shot after shot of liquor. The few girls unfortunate to get close to him were subjected to half-hearted gropes and slurred pick-up lines–the asshole got more than a few slaps in the face. Tyler grinned: this was his guy.
He discreetly removed his vial of powder and emptied it into the shot of whiskey he had purchased moments ago. He sidled up to the meathead, who was currently mumbling something unflattering underneath his breath about black people.
"You look rough, man," Tyler said, sliding the shot across the counter. "This one's on me."
The meathead regarded Tyler warily, but his need for alcohol soon wiped away any misgivings he had about accepting drinks for stranger. He drained the glass in one quick gulp, and then let out a harsh gasp. Tyler smirked. The powder did take effect quickly.
"You alright?" he said, standing his new friend up. "Let's step outside." The meathead was
in no state to refuse, and he stumbled heavily as Tyler directed him toward the back door.
Tyler watched with pleasure as the powder began to work its magic, the odd transformation being lost to everyone else in the club midst the lights and music. The meathead's bone structure creaked and groaned as it drastically contracted and expanded, tapering his waist and widening his hips. He clutched at his shorts as they fell from his shrinking frame. His rippling muscles quickly dissolved, leaving behind fat that rearranged itself beneath his skin. His lower hall began to gather mass, creating shapely legs and a voluptuous ass. Beneath his shirt, a pair of two large breasts squeezed out from his chest, filling out his tight white tee impressively. His face quivered and twitched as his features softened and feminized, blonde hair sprouting quickly from his scalp. Now came Tyler's favorite part. The meathead gave out a short cry as his lower half jerked, and Tyler knew that between his legs his penis was slowly disappearing, shrinking and folding itself into a tight, pink vagina.
By the time the two had reached the exit door, no longer than one minute, the meathead had transformed from a ripped, thuggish man into a smooth, sexy blonde woman, sweat drenching her new curves. She whimpered and shivered as Tyler pushed her out into the night air.
Perfect, Tyler thought. An alleyway, with nobody around. He whipped his new toy around and planted a lusty kiss right on her mouth. The former meathead was in no position to object to resist–the powder loosened the subject's inhibitions, making them just as horny (if not more) than their partner. As they continue to kiss, tongues probing and exploring, Tyler ripped of the woman's shorts with ease, and was surprised to see a pink pair of panties lying neatly across her pelvis.
Tyler was shocked. The meathead must've been wearing them this whole time. "You naughty slut," he grinned, gazing into her glazed eyes. "You've wanted this to happen for a long time, haven't you?" She didn't respond, but he could tell the answer was yes. He smiled wickedly and turned her around, sliding off the panties and spreading her ample ass cheeks wide.
Lowering his own pants and whipping out his dick, he began to poke and prod her pussy, which was already drenched in anticipation. Gripping her around her midsection, he slid his dick in, and she let out a moan of pleasure. Thoroughly turned on, he slammed into her pussy as hard as he could, arching her back and causing her to jiggle in all the right places. She responded enthusiastically as he fucked her, twisting and gyrating to maximize the sensation. By the time he finally climaxed, exploding inside her with a powerful final thrust, she was screaming in ecstasy, face twisted in orgasmic pleasure.
As Tyler's cock finished draining itself, he let go of her whore's body, and she slid to the concrete floor, pussy twitching and dripping with cum. She was the best he'd had yet: the hottest and definitely the most responsive. He toyed with the idea of taking her home with him, routinely feeding her more powder to keep up her appearance and libido. The risk was two great, though. He buttoned up his pants and turned around, walking away as she moaned and writhed in the alleyway. By the morning, the meathead would be back to normal, and would hopefully remember the entire encounter as an elaborate fantasy. Tyler felt a bit of pride as he walked home–he'd given the poor misunderstood bastard exactly what he'd wanted, if only for a few minutes.

Why not make something a little special this Easter? If you are having a late lunch this hearty breakfast is sure to keep you going until the roast is done! Sunday mornings, smoked salmon and eggs are made for each other. Eggs Benedict and Eggs florentine on muffins are heavenly classics. Scrambled egg on toast topped with smoked salmon delightful. Kedgeree reminiscent of brunch in the Raj is a delicious self service brunch dish with smoked haddock curry spices boiled eggs and rice. Recently we tried a brunch dish inspired by a mix of all these classics but rather than muffins toast or rice we used pasta. In a large help yourself serving dish reminiscent of Kedgeree we put linguini topped with smoked salmon boiled eggs lemon wedges and crushed walnuts. It was very easy and quick to prepare requiring no cooking apart from the pasta and eggs and went down very well indeed.
Easter Sunday Morning on a plate!
Boil the pasta as normal until just slightly "al dente", add the mange touts for about 30 seconds and drain. Meanwhile mix the creme fraiche, cream cheese, mustard and chopped capers in a bowl until well blended. Let down the mixture with a little of the liquid from the capers and pour into the pasta saucepan. Pour the pasta and mange touts on top and toss until the pasta and sauce is well mixed season generously and put in a serving dish. Tear the smoked salmon slices and arrange with the egg quarters and lemon wedges on top. Sprinkle the chopped walnuts over and drizzle with olive oil. Serve with a tongs. Happy Easter!!

LAWRENCE BOOTH: This was Australia's PERFECT day one against an undercooked England
LAWRENCE BOOTH: This was Australia's PERFECT day one against an undercooked England
For all the fighting talk and all the good intentions, England emerged battered and bruised from the opening day of the Ashes at Brisbane. Not for the first time, either.
It wasn't simply that they were bowled out for 147 after winning the toss, instantly handing the initiative in this five-Test series to Australia. Just as damaging were the numerous subplots, ranging from the first-ball dismissal of Rory Burns to the chalk-and-cheese fortunes of the captains: while Joe Root fell for a duck, Pat Cummins – in his first Test in charge – picked up five for 38.
If Australia could have penned their own storyline, this is more or less how it would have looked, with their fast bowlers running amok against an undercooked England batting line-up more used to failure than success.
Joe Root's England were bowled all out for 147 on day one of the first Ashes Test in Brisbane
Pat Cummins claimed a five-for on his debut as Australia's Test captain on Wednesday
There were, it's true, moments of encouragement for the tourists. Haseeb Hameed showed patience and guts to bat through a traumatic opening session, while Jos Buttler made a counter-attacking 39 and Ollie Pope a mature 35.
But that was pretty well it on a day when Australia confirmed their pre-series status as favourites – and cemented the Gabba's reputation as a venue of harsh reality checks for English ambition.
In 1994-95, Michael Slater cut Phil DeFreitas's first ball of the series for four. In 2006-07, Steve Harmison's opening delivery fetched up in the slips. And if Andrew Strauss's first-over dismissal in 2010-11 gave way to a happier English narrative, then it's hard on this evidence to see how Burns's golden duck will prove anything other than a miserable omen.
To compound the sense of yet more Pommie haplessness at a ground where they have won twice in 20 attempts since the Second World War, the mid-afternoon drinks were carried on by Jimmy Anderson and Stuart Broad, both said to be fit yet neither required – other than to mix the cordial.
Captain Joe Root (left) won the toss, elected to bat and dropped Stuart Broad in his team
If England, who wanted to find room for the left-arm spin of Jack Leach, really can afford to leave out 1,156 Test wickets' worth of experience and knowhow, then good luck to them.
In the event, they wouldn't have been needed much anyway, as the storms that have dogged the Gold Coast for the past fortnight finally returned to the Gabba. On a day when everything went right for Australia, even the weather was on their side, sparing their top order a post-tea probing in perilous conditions.
But let us not make excuses: from the start, England provided little justification for Root's decision to bat on a green surface whose preparation had been hampered by the weather.
Was it bold? Definitely. Was it foolhardy? Probably. Regardless, there was only one way for England to lose the Test on the first day, and that was by batting in helpful conditions against Australia's world-class attack.
Root's game plan was undone when Rory Burns was clean bowled by Mitchell Starc first ball
Starc (right) celebrated only the fourth time in history a wicket has been made on first ball
The procession began when Burns planted his front foot outside off stump to Mitchell Starc's first ball, which unhelpfully zeroed in on the base of leg. Bowled ignominiously behind his pads, Burns became the second player – after Derbyshire's Stan Worthington, also at the Gabba, in 1936-37 – to fall to an Ashes series' opening delivery.
It was his sixth duck of 2021, a Test record for a calendar year, and the 17th by a member of England's wobbly top three.
Then, after Dawid Malan fended Josh Hazlewood to Alex Carey for six, providing the debutant wicketkeeper with the first catch of his Test career, Australia plunged a dagger into English hearts.
All year, Root has operated on a different plane from his team-mates, notching six hundreds – four of them 180 or more – and papering over gaping cracks.
Josh Hazlewood then claimed wickets off Dawid Malan, then captain Root for the eighth time
Ben Stokes then fell at 29-4 on the England talisman's Test cricket return after six months away
But Hazlewood had his number, and soon found his edge. When David Warner at first slip did the rest, Root had a new Test nemesis: Hazlewood has now removed him eight times, more than any other bowler. As recoiling in disappointment, Root's average dropped back below 50.
Eleven for three soon became 29 for four when Ben Stokes, in his first international appearance since July, was squared up by Cummins and caught low down at third slip by Marnus Labuschagne for five.
From there, England did show a bit of pluck. Hameed, his emphasis on survival, reached lunch on 25, only to fall in the first over after the break as he thrust low hands at Cummins and was caught by Steve Smith at second slip.
Opener Haseeb Hameed (above) helped England get to lunch but fell shortly after lunch
Jos Buttler (right) and Ollie Pope (left) hit a 50-run partnership but were both dismissed
Australia captain Cummins cleaned up England's tail to get the visitors all out for 147
Then Buttler lived up to his pledge to go after the bowling, repeatedly going over the top as if trying to revive his murderous unbeaten 71 off 32 balls against roughly the same attack at the T20 World Cup in Dubai.
Pope kept him level-headed company in a stand of 52, but from 112 for five the innings went into freefall. Starc had Buttler caught behind, and Pope spooned a pull to fine leg, where Hazlewood held the first of two excellent tumbling catches to give Cameron Green his first Test wicket.
Ollie Robinson drove tamely at Cummins to register the third duck of the innings and the 46th of England's year (their record of 54 in 1998 looks eminently breakable), before Cummins bounced out Mark Wood and Chris Woakes.
It was the 10th time they have been dismissed for under 200 this year – barely a basis for negotiation, let alone the foundations of an Ashes-winning bid. Almost before they have begun, England are chasing their tails.
TOP SPIN AT THE TEST – AUSTRALIA VS ENGLAND FIRST TEST, DAY ONE
By Lawrence Booth in Australia
Rory Burns's sixth duck of 2021 was a Test record for a calendar year, taking him one clear of Indian opener Pankaj Roy (1952), and former England captain Mike Atherton (1998).
Only one player before Burns had fallen to the first ball of an Ashes series. Derbyshire's Stan Worthington was caught behind by Bert Oldfield off Ernie McCormick, also at the Gabba, in 1936-37.
Joe Root became the 19th England player to make a duck this year, before Ollie Robinson took the team's total to 46. Their record is 54 in 1998.
Josh Hazlewood has now dismissed Root eight times in Tests, more than any other bowler. Joint-second on seven are two team-mates: Australia's new captain Pat Cummins and off-spinner Nathan Lyon.
Cummins's sixth Test five-for was his first against England. In all, he has 169 wickets at an outstanding 21 apiece.
England have not won at the Gabba since Ian Botham made a first-innings century in 1986-87. Since then, they have lost six out of eight, with one of their two draws reliant on a final-afternoon thunderstorm in 1998-99.

GReat show to watch as a kid. It was always one of our favorites to watch.
Out of all the insults that Smith hurled at poor Robot, I think my favorite is, "You nickel-plated nincompoop".
Several years ago, around Xmas time, Amazon.com put the first season DVD set on sale so I bought it. Up through episode #17 "The Keeper: Part 2, it's a pretty solid, if juvenile, sci-fi series. But after that the camp quotient jumps with episodes like "The Sky Pirate" and "The Space Croppers". Still the latter half of the season wasn't all bad, the finale "Follow the Leader" was excellent. However, I didn't buy any of the later seasons.
Other thoughts - Marta Kristen was a babe!
She also looked great in Leave it to Beaver, and Savage Sam (sequel to Old Yeller).
Loved this show, particularly in the early episodes before the camp started in, and it was still a serious Sci Fi series. My understanding is that it was losing ratings to the campy Batman series, hence the move to the camp camp I think it's kind of cool the way the cast members stayed in touch all these years, and had regular get togethers, all except Guy Williams who was living in Argentina in his final years.
Even the cast members seemed to take a light hearted approach when Mad Magazine decided to roast them in "Loused up in space", 1966.
Perhaps you were too old and too female for his taste.
As a 10 year old, I watched the show regularly (early 1970s, in syndication)... Then I saw my first episode of Star Trek TOS -- "The Doomsday Machine".
Lost in Space became unwatchable crap for me from that moment on.
MeTV....It's now in the middle of the worst episodes ever, (season 2, of course). Yes...many episodes were terrible, (even as a kid watching). Where I lived, you could only see Star Trek reruns one episode on Sunday morning. Lost In Space was at least 5 days a week after school. We didn't have many choices to be discriminating critics back then. I did prefer the more mature and intelligent Star Trek myself.
Sorry, but IMO, Max Steiner, Henry Mancini, and Miklos Rozsa were FAR better.
Umm. Oh yeah. Those guys. And Bernard Herrmann. And Ennio Morricone. I guess there IS room for argument. But that Johnny Williams is right up there.
Absolute low point....Season 2, "The Questing Beast". A failure on on all levels, including the comedy level it was intended for!!
Such an embarrassment...can we we not destroy all copies to erase it from existance? ??
With season 2, the emphasis was definitely on Smith, Will and the Robot. Will was too "golly gee, Dr. Smith" for my tastes, and Smith was just outrageous. The robot bothered me most. Hard to believe this was the same mechanism that was so threatening in the first episode. I don't mind the "warning, warning, Will Robinson" stuff, but I really hate it when he strums a guitar or laughs at Dr. Smith. Just plain dumb. Even then, as a 12 year old, I knew it was moronic.
It was like the writers went on a season long drinking binge and said screw it! There were still some awful goofy shows in season 3, but not as many as S2.
Season 2 makes a minor comeback with this episode. On Me TV Sunday 6/25.
Smith becomes entranced and is "absorbed" by alien computers to become "Welcome To the Machine".
Much better than the previous Pirate, Circus, Cowboy, Viking, idiotic plotlines of S2.
One question. The Jupiter 2 was ready to blast off for a "launch window". Why did they have a launch window if they did not know where they were going? They don't know the way to Earth or Alpha Centauri. I will have to watch tomorrow night to see if this is explained.
Tonight, actually Sunday 3am, "Revolt of the Androids"....certainly not that great of a show, but "CRUSH, KILL, DESTROY!" became a memorable moment.
Personal highlights include the "instant reversal" of the landing ship.
A supreme goof in the intro segment right before the opening theme and credits....A "relay station" is supposed to be destroyed by some ultra-sonic high energy transmission.
You can obviously see a stage hand busting the "light bulb" with a stick. I guess cheapo budget would not allow them to reshoot and edit, or they could not afford another light bulb and handful of flash powder!
Next week, my favorite season 2 episode, "Trip Through the Robot"!
In the summer of 1966 NBC started showing promos for a new show coming in September called "Star Trek"... I watched them and said to myself, "Great, all we need is another "Lost in Space'..."
I had stopped watching that because it had become so cheesy and corny. It wasn't until mid season when I had the TV on for background noise that I started noticing something seriously good was on, the episode was "Arena" and I became hooked on Star Trek.
I've recently been re-watching season 1 for the first time in many many years. The first few episodes (I've only gotten through episode 5 so far) are really quite good. It started as an interesting science fiction idea. Also, at this point it is very much a continuing story and not episodic at all. Truly a shame that it devolved into such a poorly constructed "alien of the week" cheese fest.
I think they were really trying to keep up with Batman and it just didn't work. The same thing happened to other shows like The Man From UNCLE.
