Denmark ends COVID restrictions after reaching 80 percent vax rate
COPENHAGEN, Denmark — After 548 days with restrictions to limit the spread of COVID-19, Denmark's high vaccination rate has enabled the Scandinavian country to become one of the first European Union nations to lift all domestic restrictions.
The return to normality has been gradual, but as of Friday, the digital pass — a proof of having been vaccinated — is no longer required when entering night clubs, making it the last virus safeguard to fall.
More than 80% of people above the age of 12 have had the two shots.
"I wouldn't say it is too early. We have opened the door but we have also said that we can close it if needed," Soeren Riis Paludan, a professor of virology with the Aarhus University in Denmark's second largest city, told The Associated Press.
As of midnight, the Danish government no longer considers COVID-19 "a socially critical disease." Health Minister Magnus Heunicke said Aug. 27 that "the epidemic is under control" but warned: "we are not out of the epidemic" and the government will act as needed if necessary.
Jens Lundgren, a professor of viral diseases at the Copenhagen University Hospital said the government would be "quite willing" to reintroduce restrictions if infections spike again. He pointed at night clubs being the last thing to open because "it is the activity associated with the highest risk of transmission."

"The world is in the middle of a pandemic and none of us can claim that we are beyond the pandemic," said Lundgren who described Denmark as being "an isolated island" where the vaccine rollout has worked.
"Nobody should have the illusion that we are over this."
The tipping point in Denmark to start easing restrictions came when a majority in the age group of 50+ had the two shots, Riis Paludan said.
Since Aug. 14, a face mask on public transportation is no longer mandatory. On Sept. 1, night clubs reopened, limits on public gatherings were removed and it was no longer mandatory to show the pass when one wanted to be seated inside restaurants, or go to soccer games, fitness centers or hairdresser.
However, the face mask or shield are still mandatory at airports and people are advised to wear one when at the doctor's, test centers or hospitals. Distancing is still recommended and strict entry restrictions still apply for non Danes at the borders. The outbreak is still considered "an ordinary dangerous illness."
"The ghost of corona sits in the back of our head," said Frank Oestergaard, a patron in a downtown Copenhagen restaurant.
After more than a year, several European countries are starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel, but with caveats. Some have lifted restrictions but will introduce a vaccination passport. Others expect to do so soon. And in some places, there are few restrictions and they are not respected.
Passengers are crammed into a packed subway car in Stockholm, Sweden, on Dec. 4, 2020.
On July 19, the British government lifted remaining legal restrictions for England, though it still plans to introduce a vaccination passport for entry into nightclubs and other crowded venues at the end of September.
In Denmark's neighbor Sweden, which has stood out among European nations for its comparatively hands-off response to the pandemic, the government said earlier this month that most restrictions, including the ceiling for private and public gatherings and the advice to work from home, will be removed as of Sept. 29.
The Scandinavian country has not gone into lockdowns or closed businesses, relying instead on citizens' sense of civic duty to control infection. According to official figures, 70% of people over the age of 15 have gotten both shots and nearly 82 % have received the first shot.
And despite a surge, most of the Balkan countries practically have no restrictions, and those which are in place are not respected.
In late May, the Danish government presented the passport app featuring a QR code and a green bar if the person has been vaccinated twice or recently tested negative. A paper version also was available. People either had to scan the code or flash it before entering an airport, a harbor, a train station, a hairdresser or an eatery.
While in many European countries there were pockets of resistance such passes, people used it all the time in Denmark because people trust authorities, Riis Paludan said.
Sweden chose to keep businesses open with little to no COVID-19 restrictions during the pandemic.
Armed with their pass, people were able to get a haircut, have a drink with friends or attend a cultural event. "It was getting one's freedom back instead of having to sit at home in isolation," laughed Oestergaard.
"I think it's very good, so hopefully we can get back to a normal day in the restaurant business without checking people and just no restrictions whatsoever. That's nice," said cafe owner Ralph Marker.

Today went much better. I made the breakfast with remaining yogurt & watched instructions on making the delicious lunch.
My head is still jumbly today-feels hungover I guess. Happy, then sad. I cry at small things but otherwise joyous and content tidying house and freshening for Spring. Thyroid meds here & surgery done by week's end, so things are on the uptick.
I noticed that the avocado I had was a bit over-ripe, giving it this very flowery taste. It was amazing and must BEE what attracts BEES to flowers, though, avocados might be pollinated by the adorable bats (Gaston & Belle & Jimmy) we see each summer.

Simply let us know your existing or required upgrades and we will upload the exact tune for your needs. We guarantee Australian developed tested and proven tunes will ensure optimum performance, and also perfect reliability.

The StreetFighter Performance Airbox utilises a high quality air filter for maximum air flow. This gives it an improved induction sound and it's proven dyno tested for maximum power gains. It has a complete factory look under the bonnet and is made from the highest quality factory plastic. Due to its OEM style design it is extremely easy to install.
The StreetFighter Performance Airbox is available for both the Mustang GT and the Mustang Ecoboost.
The StreetFighter Premium vehicle Badging is available exclusively with the StreetFighter Power Packages on the Mustang GT. To uniquely identify your Mustang, StreetFighter offer the full badge set which includes a front grille badge, rear boot lid badge, and signature StreetFighter badge.

The StreetFighter Engine Oil Cooler Package is a complete upgrade. Designed to completely eliminate the standard OEM oil cooler, therefore removing any chance of failure that could lead to costly engine damage.
StreetFighter oil cooler packages remove/delete the standard oil – water cooler at the engine and replace it with a high efficiency oil – air cooler mounted behind the front grille. The system also incorporates an oil thermostat to ensure the oil temperature is maintained quickly and efficiently.
As well as preventing failures, the StreetFighter Engine Oil cooler Package will ensure that oil temperatures are best maintained in spirited driving and race conditions.
As an added option we also have incorporated the ability to add our StreetFighter Oil Pressure Monitoring Kit.

The StreetFighter 900hp Fuel Module is designed, utilising the highest flowing, highest performance fuel pump available, housed in a high flow fuel canister and distribution manifold, delivering the optimum amount of cool dense fuel at standard vehicle voltages. This equates to optimum tuning and power levels 900HP and beyond.

The StreetFighter oil separators, for the Mustang GT V8 have been designed specifically to reduce the amount of oil build up in the manifold and plenum areas.
The separators are easily fitted in line with the engine breathing system. The oil is caught in the separator filters rather than contaminating the intake and air fuel mixture with unwanted oil. When the engine is not running the oil caught in the filters drains back down into the sump rather than the manifold. This keeps the intake system and intercooler clean. Less oil usage and the intake and intercooler is always working at is best.
We have manufactured our StreetFighter breathers out of billet aluminium, with an OEM style finish, and utilise high quality washable filters to ensure life time reliability, all Australian made.
The StreetFighter 3 Year Limited Driveline Warranty is the ultimate peace of mind protection for your vehicle.

Most project professionals in the UK say political instability is negatively impacting projects they're working on, according to new data from Association for Project Management (APM).
A survey of 1,000 project professionals, undertaken for APM by research company Censuswide, highlights the potential knock-on effects of the turbulent political environment, as 64% of respondents nationwide expect it to negatively impact projects they or their organisation is currently undertaking.
The survey was carried out against a backdrop of rapid change and growing political pressures, with the UK's next Prime Minister still unknown, high inflation, rising energy prices and water restriction in parts of the country.
Respondents from the construction and technology sectors were particularly concerned with 76% of respondents from each industry saying they're concerned that the UK's political instability will have a negative impact on projects that they or their organisation are currently working on.
With many projects reflecting significant long-term investments, the importance of political stability cannot be overstated. This supports the finding from research undertaken by PwC on behalf of APM previously, in which more than half of the 438 organisations that took part expressed concern over the perceived impact of political uncertainty in the UK.
Respondents to the latest survey were also asked to identify their main concerns regarding project delivery. The ongoing cost of living crisis and escalating energy prices were both identified as key challenges, cited by 28% and 26% of respondents respectively.
The survey reveals a significant increase in projects that are experiencing problems during delivery compared with two years ago. In the latest survey, 31% of respondents say their current main project is not on track to meet its original quality criteria, compared with just 8% in July 2020; and 28% say their main project is currently over budget, compared with 18% in July 2020.
APM has called on the government to ensure a more stable operating environment for projects. Andrew Baldwin, Head of Public Affairs at APM, said: "Political instability affects every type of project in the UK, from major initiatives tackling global issues like climate change, to more targeted projects bringing benefits to local communities and businesses.
"A forecast of recession, spiralling energy costs and uncertainty around the cost of materials and other resources will be of grave concern to those financing or sponsoring projects, as a state of limbo builds anticipation of what the future holds.

Emery defends PSG star Neymar after Madrid display
Unai Emery insisted PSG forward Neymar will step up to the plate in next month's return leg against Champions League holders Real Madrid.

Paris Saint-Germain's Neymar - Getty Images
Paris Saint-Germain head coach Unai Emery backed Neymar to help the French giants recover from their 3-1 deficit to Real Madrid in the Champions League round of 16.
Neymar came in for criticism following Wednesday's display at the Santiago Bernabeu, where PSG squandered a lead and conceded two late goals to give Madrid the ascendency in the knockout tie.
But Emery insisted Neymar will step up to the plate in the second leg at Parc des Princes next month, defending the Brazil star's performance against the European champions.
"He played a great game in my opinion," Emery said ahead of PSG's clash against Strasbourg on Saturday.
"He did a lot of great things in order to change the dynamic of the game.
"If he can improve ahead of this great game [in the second leg], the small details that I'm sure he can improve on here at home, he'll show everyone how good he is."

Civilisation Recast
Theoretical and Historical Perspectives
$29.99 (F)
Stephan Feuchtwang, London School of Economics and Political Science
Michael Rowlands, University College London
$ 29.99 (F)
Civilisation is a debated concept and is often associated with the prerogatives of the 'West', colonial histories, and even emerging global politics. In this book, Stephen Feuchtwang and Michael Rowlands use the examples of Africa and China to provide a new conceptualisation that challenges traditional notions of 'civilisation'. They explain how to understand duration and continuity as long-term processes of transformation. Civilisations are best seen as practices of feeding and hospitality, of rituals and manners of living and dying, of entering the portals into the invisible world that surrounds and encompasses us, of healing and the knowledge of the encompassing universe and its powers, including its ghosts and demons. Civilisations furnish the moral ideals for people to live by and aspire to and they are changed more by the actions of disappointed grassroots and their little traditions than by their ruling authorities. Just as they revitalise and change their civilisations, this book revitalises and changes the way to think about civilisations in the humanities, the historical and the social sciences.
Provides a thorough overview of the uses of the concept of civilisation
Is securely embedded in a comparative approach with special emphasis on China and Africa
Develops a new concept of civilisation that can be used critically and without fear of being imperialist

## Summary


At Burton Borough School we believe that we need to provide appropriate learning experiences for all students of all abilities. The High Potential Students policy sets out how we will achieve this for the high potential students and impacts upon the whole school: every department, tutor group and member of staff. The aim of this is to raise the aspirations and achievement of the cohort and, by doing so, the aspirations and achievement of all pupils. The High Potential Students Policy provides guidance as to how we will meet the needs of our high potential students and will allow us to be clear about how we identify and support them at Burton Borough School in all areas of the curriculum. It also sets out how we will provide extra-curricular and enrichment activities for those students identified as having high potential.
In terms of extra-curricular challenge it is expected that students identified as high potential will read 6 books from the BBS reading list (see the link in the high potential menu above) and complete at least 3 'Big Think' submissions a year based on questions set by the school or chosen themselves from the oxplore.org website (or devised on their own and cleared with Mr Allen).

MIDI Maestro is midi music synthesizer (virtual PC synthesizer) software designed for use by amateur and professional music directors, conductors, and musicians in live musical theater and similar musical accompaniment situations (e.g. worship bands,techno bands,karaoke Accompaniment track,tape). It also a midi maker design for Guitar soloists, Professional gigs to Rehearsal tapes and sessions or Music Composition and Musical Education.
How can I get the correct patch names to display in the Track View?
MIDI Maestro uses a database to associate patch names with patch and bank numbers. Once you've added your synthesizers to the database, you then may use the Setup/MIDI ports command to associate synthesizers with the ports or devices that you'll be using. Once you've done that, the patch chooser controls on the Track Properties window will contain the correct patch name choices for your synthesizers.
How do I add my synthesizer to the list?
To add a midi synthesizer to the virtual synthesizer list, click the "Import Synth" button. A list of nearly 300 music synthesizer definition files that were installed with MIDI Maestro will be displayed. Locate the file that corresponds to your synthesizer, click on it, then click the "Open" button. If your specific sound synthesizer is not listed, you may choose one that is similar, and then make changes to the database as necessary.
To remove a synthesizer from the list, click on the name of the synthesizer that you wish to remove, and then click on the "Remove Synth" button or press the Del key on your keyboard.
The "Export Synth" button exists to create a synthesizer definition file from the information contained within the Synthesizer Database. You may wish to use this after you have customized a previously imported definition file.
Here you can not only customize the synthesizer's name, but you can also customize the way in which MIDI Maestro interacts with the device. You can specify the desired "bank select" behavior, the default patch numbering scheme, as well as the behavior for the Adjust/Reset command (F10 is the shortcut key).
What do the "bank select" options mean?
When a synthesizer supports more than 128 patches, it uses "bank" numbers to support additional patches. There are two MIDI controller events used for bank selection, CC0 and CC32. All synthesizers that support bank selection use CC0, and most use CC32 as well. This leads to some confusion when numbering banks.
In some synthesizer literature, "bank 2" refers to CC0=2 (and CC32 is not used). In others, "bank 512" refers to CC0=2 and CC32=0. To keep your brain from melting, whenever a bank number is shown in MIDI Maestro, it will be shown in X (Y/Z) format, where Y is the CC0 value, and Z is the CC32 value. X is equal to Y*128+Z. Wherever you may enter a bank number, you may also enter a single number (that will be automatically divided and split between the two controllers), or you may enter a number in Y/Z format.
You may choose either "CC0 and CC32 (normal MMA mode)" or "CC0 only" as the bank selection method for the synthesizer. The only difference here is that in "CC0 only" mode, a value is not sent to CC32. Numbers throughout MIDI Maestro will continue to be shown in full X (Y/Z) format.
Why is there an option to number patches in another way?
There appears to be absolutely no standard in the way patches are numbered. For some synthesizers, the numbers 0-127 are used. For others, the numbers shown in the literature are 1-128 (although the actual number transmitted to the device is one less than that!).
MIDI Maestro supports both formats so that the numbers you see in the track view, synthesizer database, and elsewhere will correspond to the numbers that you see in your synthesizer's manual.
Why are there so many ways to "reset" a synthesizer?
Again, there really is no standard. For the reset options, GM is General MIDI, GS is a Roland MIDI extension, and XG is a Yamaha MIDI extension. WARNING: when you use these, be aware that they may cause your synthesizer to enter special GM, GS, or XG modes, removing access to any patches and features not included in those modes. Your device may behave more predictably with other forms of reset, such as controller 120 and/or 121 (which silence all notes and reset all CCs). See your synthesizer's documentation for details or suggestions specific to your device. There's also an option to force MIDI Maestro to do a "manual reset" of only those controllers which have been used. Finally, you also may specify any custom Sysex (system exclusive) message that your device requires.
How do I edit the database?
The Synthesizer Database is presented as a "tree" list. Branches of the tree may be "expanded" by clicking on the "+" symbols. Branches may be "collapsed" by clicking on the "-" symbols. When you expanded a synthesizer, you will see that there are two four branches beneath the synthesizer: Patches, Drumsets, Controllers, and NRPN. Beneath "Patches" are "Banks." Banks are collections of patches. Because patch numbers may only be a number 1-128 (or 0-127!), synthesizers that support more than 128 sounds must divide these sounds into groups of 128, each group referred to as a bank. Sometimes the banks have meaningful names to assist you with organizing your patches; other times they have such prosaic labels as "variation 1."
Beneath "Drumsets" is the list of all valid "bank/patch" number combinations for drum tracks. If you expand a drumset, you will reveal a list of that drumset's notes or "key names." Each note or key on the keyboard may produce a different sound depending on the drumset that's in use.
As you click on the various branches of the Synthesizer Database tree, you will notice that the two buttons that once read "Import Synth" and "Remove Synth" will change function to allow you to insert and remove banks, patches, drumsets, and drumset notes. You may also use the Ins and Del keys on your keyboard to achieve the same effect. To edit an existing entry in the tree, either use your mouse's right button with the pointer over the entry, or highlight the entry and press Alt+Enter on your keyboard.
Patches and notes must fall into the range 1-128. Bank numbers must fall into the range 0-16383 (0/0 - 127/127). If your synthesizer uses only the "most significant" bank component (CC0), you will see banks numbered as 128 (1/0), 256 (2/0), 384 (3/0), 512 (4/0), etc. Check your synthesizer documentation if you are making changes to these values or adding new bank definitions.
Here you may change the number, name, or category for the patch. The Category pull-down will be populated with all category names that you have used for the synthesizer. You may choose one of these existing categories, or enter a new one.
How do patch categories work?
Many manufacturers name their patches in such a way that an alphabetical listing is not always the best way to find what you're looking for. If you assign categories to each of your patches, it will be easier to find similar patches on the Track Properties window.
HINT: If open a synthesizer definition file in a text editor, you will see that it's basically a list of numbers and names. If a second name is placed in brackets such as "[PIANO]" following a patch name, that text will be used as the patch's category when the file is imported.
How about drum patches and notes?
A variation of standard musical notation is often employed for non-melodic instruments. For example, percussionists may be accustomed to the common convention of having bass drum notes written as oval notes on the treble-clef F line, snare drum notes written as ovals on the C line, and cymbals written as X notes above the staff. This mapping of notes to notation symbols is called a display schema.
When new synthesizers or drumsets are added to the database, a ��default�� schema is set. This schema contains notation mappings for only the most common general MIDI percussion notes. You may wish to customize or augment this default schema��many synthesizer drum kits are loosely based upon the general MIDI drumset, but often offer much more.
Note Head Specifies the shape of the note head. You may choose from oval (the standard notation), diamond, square, triangle, and X. All note heads have filled and un-filled versions to represent note values both less than and greater than the half note with the exception of the X��when the X is used, half notes and longer and shown as diamonds.
Staff Offset Specifies the location of the note head on the staff. An offset of ��0�� will place the note on the centerline. Positive numbers move the note head up, and negative numbers move the note head down.
Circle You specify whether or note a circle will be drawn around the note head.
Articulation These are a collection of additional markings that may be added to note heads for additional emphasis.
Copy schema You specify any other synthesizer and drumset combination, and the percussion display schema will be copied from there to here��no need to do the same work twice, right?
Set to GM defaults Reverts everything back to ��factory�� General MIDI settings��for when you simply want to start over!


2 And say, Heare the worde of the Lord, O King of Iudah, that sittest vpon the throne of Dauid, thou and thy seruants, and thy people that enter in by these gates.
3 Thus saith the Lord, Execute ye iudgement and righteousnes, and deliuer the oppressed from the hande of the oppressor, and vexe not the stranger, the fatherlesse, nor the widowe: doe no violence, nor sheade innocent blood in this place.
4 For if ye do this thing, then shall the kings sitting vpon the throne of Dauid enter in by the gates of this House, and ride vpon charets, and vpon horses, both he and his seruants and his people.
5 But if ye will not heare these wordes, I sweare by my selfe, saith the Lord, that this House shalbe waste.
7 And I will prepare destroyers against thee, euery one with his weapons, and they shall cut downe thy chiefe cedar trees, and cast them in the fire.
8 And many nations shall passe by this citie, and they shall say euery man to his neighbour, Wherefore hath the Lord done thus vnto this great citie?
9 Then shall they answere, Because they haue forsaken the couenant of the Lord their God, and worshipped other gods, and serued them.
¶ 10 Weepe not for the dead, and be not moued for them, but weepe for him that goeth out: for he shall returne no more, nor see his natiue countrey.
12 But he shall die in the place, whither they haue ledde him captiue, and shall see this lande no more.
¶ 13 Wo vnto him that buildeth his house by vnrighteousnesse, and his chambers without equitie: he vseth his neighbour without wages, and giueth him not for his worke.
14 He saith, I will build me a wide house and large chambers: so he will make him selfe large windowes, and feeling with cedar, and paint them with vermilion.
15 Shalt thou reigne, because thou closest thy selfe in cedar? did not thy father eate and drinke and prosper, when he executed iudgement and iustice?
16 When he iudged the cause of the afflicted and the poore, he prospered: was not this because he knewe me, saith the Lord?
17 But thine eyes and thine heart are but only for thy couetousnesse, and for to sheade innocent blood, and for oppression, and for destruction, euen to doe this.
18 Therefore thus saith the Lord against Iehoiakim, the sonne of Iosiah king of Iudah, They shall not lament him, saying, Ah, my brother, or ah, sister: neither shall they mourne for him, saying, Ah, lord, or ah, his glorie.
19 He shalbe buryed, as an asse is buryed, euen drawen and cast foorth without the gates of Ierusalem.
¶ 20 Goe vp to Lebanon, and cry: showte in Bashan and crye by the passages: for all thy louers are destroyed.
21 I spake vnto thee when thou wast in prosperitie: but thou saidest, I will not heare: this hath bene thy maner from thy youth, that thou wouldest not obey my voyce.
22 The wind shall feede all thy pastors, and thy louers shall goe into captiuitie: and then shalt thou be ashamed and confounded of al thy wickednesse.
23 Thou that dwellest in Lebanon, and makest thy nest in the cedars, howe beautiful shalt thou be when sorowes come vpon thee, as the sorowe of a woman in trauaile?
24 As I liue, saith the Lord, though Coniah the sonne of Iehoiakim King of Iudah, were the signet of my right hand, yet would I plucke thee thence.
25 And I will giue thee into the hande of them that seeke thy life, and into the hande of them, whose face thou fearest, euen into the hand of Nebuchad-nezzar king of Babel, and into the hande of the Caldeans.
26 And I will cause them to cary thee away, and thy mother that bare thee, into another countrey, where ye were not borne, and there shall ye die.
27 But to the lande, whereunto they desire to returne, they shall not returne thither.
28 Is not this man Coniah as a despised and broken idole? or as a vessell, wherein is no pleasure? wherefore are they caryed away, hee and his seede, and cast out into a lande that they knowe not?
29 O earth, earth, earth, heare the worde of the Lord.
30 Thus saith the Lord, Write this man destitute of children, a man that shall not prosper in his dayes: for there shall be no man of his seede that shall prosper and sit vpon the throne of Dauid, or beare rule any more in Iudah.

The Chronicle of a Young Lawyer
A Legal Journey in the Territory of Papua and New Guinea
Kerry Dillon
Hybrid Publishers
"The volcanic political atmosphere in the bubbling cauldron of the caldera that was the Gazelle Peninsula came to a head in December 1969."
This unique book tells the story of the day-to-day life of a young criminal circuit lawyer from Tasmania, Kerry Dillon, some 50 years ago in a country where many people lived as generations before had lived, back into the mists of time. Employed as a 22-year-old lawyer in the Office of the Public Solicitor, WA Lalor, in the Territory of Papua and New Guinea, Kerry travelled the country on Supreme Court criminal circuits from 1969 to 1971, appearing as counsel for Indigenous people accused of serious criminal offences, including stealing, rape and wilful murder.
Written as a chronicle, this account features descriptions of criminal cases in major centres and in remote places only accessible by small planes. It depicts the clash of cultures as Australian criminal law was introduced, and there is valuable material on the application of the rule of law in the emerging nation.
"The differing ways of life between Papua New Guinean communities, and the wide variation in the character of their interactions with Europeans and the Administration, was a significant part of the complex environment in which Kerry's experiences in the country took place and which his account illustrates." – Michael Adams QC

Tough is Not Enough
How a Journey Through Three Continents with a Kayak Changed a Climate Warrior
Steve Posselt
Ebono Institute
"It echoed around my head. The carbon wing blade flexed in the water as I thrust like a man possessed. Past the point of no return, I was above the log jam. A broken blade, maybe even a missed stroke and that could be my last. The river was rough, it was ugly and I was bouncing like a cork."
Lovers of adventure will thrill at the task Steve Posselt set himself on the biggest kayak trip of his life. Up the Mississippi, through the canals of the US and the UK, down the Thames, across the channel and up the Seine to Paris. Crazy? Steve Posselt is a climate warrior, determined to raise the awareness of climate chaos and its impact on our daily lives. He set off from Canberra in January 2015 to drag his kayak through three continents and attend the Paris Climate Conference officially known as COP21. This is the story of what he learned about himself on the way. It is also the story of despair and redemption as a buoyant, enthusiastic movement embraced him when he finally returned home. A must read for every climate activist, adventurer and their friends.

Welcome to Ord City
Adrian Deans
All refugees welcome in Australia!
In 2023, Australia reversed its closed border policy and said to the world:
'Welcome! You are free to come to Australia, but you must spend the first seven years in the Temporary Citizenship Zone around the Ord River.'
Seven years later, Ord City is a teeming Asian metropolis with 2.5 million people preparing for the First Wave – the first tranche of refugees gaining full citizenship – on Australia Day 2030. But mainstream Australia is passionately divided over Ord City, not least because of the risk of letting in terrorists, and dark political forces are bubbling to the surface.
Agent Conan Tooley is sent up to Ord City to look into a routine gangland murder, but finds himself frustrated and confused by the questions that arise at every step. As the days to the First Wave count down, Conan encounters any number of people throwing up obstacles, including The Army of God (a Christian charity active in Ord City); a carload of young people travelling to Ord City for the Illumination Festival the night before the First Wave; and Asif, a deep cell terrorist with a deadly mission. There is also the Shadow Group – mysterious figures who seem to be pulling strings at high levels to achieve some hidden purpose.
As the various subplots wind towards the explosive conclusion, the motives and values of all are profoundly challenged.
Welcome to Ord City is a satirical crime thriller set against the backdrop of Australia's refugee policy and the malleable populism that characterises the Lucky Country in the C21.
Epic Cycling Journeys Through the Heart of Australia
Daniel Oakman
This book tells the story of cyclists who were overcome by the need to venture into the wild on two wheels; the courageous men and women who undertook some of the most epic bicycle journeys of all time.
Wild Ride reminds us of a thrilling period of exploration all but forgotten in the age of the motorcar. Daniel Oakman takes us on a rich ride through 130 years of Australian cycling; from the overlanding heroes of Arthur Richardson and Francis Birtles, to the lesser known but no less amazing feats of Jerome Murif, Ted Ryko and Joe Pearson, through to modern-day bikepacking trailblazers such as Kate Leeming, Tegan Streeter and Tom Richards. Celebrity riders are here too; from the historic icons of Hubert 'Oppy' Opperman, Wendy Duncan and Shirley Law, to the more recent triumphs of actor Sam Johnson and his audacious quest to ride a unicycle 15,000 kilometres around the country.
You will be astounded by their journeys, retold here with sparkling clarity. Be inspired for your next pedal powered adventure.
