Veronica Gorrie (sometimes referred to as Heritage-Gorrie, born 1971/1972) is an Aboriginal Australian writer. She is a Krauatungalang Gunai woman. Her first book, Black and Blue: A memoir of racism and resilience, a memoir reflecting on her Aboriginality and the decade she spent in the police force, was released in 2021. Black and Blue won Australia's richest literary award, the Victorian Prize for Literature, in 2022.
Personal life
Gorrie was born in 1971 or 1972, daughter of John (a Gunai man of the Krauatungalang clan) and Heather (a white first-generation Australian). John is a former Aboriginal liaison officer and child protection worker who was the first known Aboriginal man to receive a Public Service Medal.
Gorrie grew up in Morwell, Victoria, and has lived in various locations in Australia including Brisbane, Mount Isa, Toongabbie, Bundaberg and Biloela. As of 2021, she lives in Victoria.
She has three children, Nayuka, Paul and Likarri. Nayuka is a writer, actor and activist who has appeared on ABC's Black Comedy and Q+A.
Career
Beginning in 2001, Gorrie worked as a police officer in the Queensland Police Service. While she joined the force wanting to "help to eliminate or eradicate the fear and mistrust [Aboriginal] people have towards police," she has since discussed "witness[ing] brutality, excessive use of force, black deaths in custody and ongoing racism" during her time in the occupation, and was medically discharged in 2011. Since her retirement, she has sharply criticised Australian police, claiming they are "mainly white, dominated by men, and built on systemic racism, misogyny, homophobia, and bullying."
After her retirement from police work, she embarked upon a writing career, appearing at the 2020 and 2021 Emerging Writers' Festivals and the 2021 Sydney Writers' Festival. Her first book, Black and Blue: A memoir of racism and resilience, was published by Scribe in 2021. The book is written in two parts, Black and Blue, which focus on her Aboriginality and time in the police respectively. The book has received generally positive reviews. Meriki Onus in Australian Book Review called it "an enthralling book" and "a beautiful story of survival and family," and Jessie Tu in The Sydney Morning Herald declared that it "astonishes with its degree of truth, trauma and resilience" and that it "should be mandatory reading material for all emerging and current cops". Meanwhile, in a more negative review in Kill Your Darlings, Fernanda Dahlstrom remarked that "[g]reater exploration of how she came to abolitionism, and some signposting of where the story was going, would have strengthened this account of her struggle with racism and disadvantage from both sides of the law."
The book won both the Victorian Premier's Literary Award for Indigenous Writing and the Victorian Prize for Literature (Australia's richest literary award, with a $100,000 prize) in 2022. It was also nominated for that year's Victorian Premier's Prize for Nonfiction, but lost to Amani Haydar's The Mother Wound.
Her first play, "Nullung" ("maternal grandmother" in Gunai), made its debut in 2021, the first known time the Gunai language was featured in a stage performance.

Miss Malaysia World 1991, the 25th edition of the Miss World Malaysia pageant was held at the Concorde Hotel in Kuala Lumpur. Miss Malaysia World 1989, Vivian Chen crowned her successor, Samantha Schubert from Kuala Lumpur at the end of the event. She then represented Malaysia at Miss World 1991.
Overall, the organizers however seemed to have failed in the aspect of controlling the entry of the guests and the confusion that arose caused by some of the guests to mistake their seats. The reporters were not given enough seats while the inaccurate selection of songs for the state costume segment slightly marred the contest.
Present were Malaysian politician Minister of Culture, Arts and Tourism Dato Sabbaruddin Chik, Director of The Star Steven Tan, National Director of Miss Malaysia World Tan Sri V. Jeyaratnam as well as Miss Malaysia Universe 1970 Josephine Lena Wong.

The Former Command House is a historic building, located at Kheam Hock Road in Singapore. It was the residence of the General Officer Commanding (GOC) of Malaya during British colonial period.
History
Prior to World War II
The Former Command House is built and was known as Flagstaff House. Its predecessor, the former Flagstaff House, built in 1925 was located at Mount Rosie.
It was to have been one of three residences to have been built for the senior commanders of the three service arms: the army, led by the General Officer Commanding (GOC), Malaya (Army); the Air Force, led by the Air-Officer Commanding (AOC), Far East in Tanglin (there is no evidence of this having been built) and the Navy (Admiralty House at Old Nelson Road).
It was announced in March 1937 a new Flagstaff House would be built to house the GOC of Malaya, costing 100,000 Straits dollars at a site near Bukit Timah Road.
The site is and situated at west side of Kheam Hock Road.
The first occupant was Lieutenant-General Sir William Dobbie who shifted to the new premise in October 1938.
Subsequent occupants were Lieutenant-General Sir Lionel Bond in 1939 and Lieutenant-General Arthur Percival in 1941. Briefly after Percival's appointment, Air Vice-Marshall Conway Pulford of the Royal Air Force's Officer Commanding moved into Flagstaff House.
World War II
During the war, the surrounding area of the Flagstaff House was known as Sime Road Camp, which is the Combined Operations Headquarters for the British Army and Air Force. During the fall of Singapore, Sime Road Camp was forsaken and shifted to the underground bunker at Fort Canning. During the Japanese occupation of Singapore, Flagstaff House was the Japanese soldiers’ quarters and Sime Road Camp was an internment camp for POWs.
In 1946, the Flagstaff House was Admiral Lord Louis Mountbatten's residence during the British Military Administration.
Post Independence
After the British military completed their withdrawal, Flagstaff House became the residence of Singapore's Speaker of Parliament, Dr Yeoh Ghim Seng. His successor, Tan Soo Khoon did not stayed at the Flagstaff House.
The Flagstaff House was rented to a building management company and later rename as the Command House.
Between 1996 and 1998, when the Istana underwent a major renovation, the Command House was the temporary residence of then president of Singapore Ong Teng Cheong. Ong, who was an architect, played an important role in restoring the Command House and add a reception hall.
On 11 November 2009, the building was gazetted as a national monument of Singapore and its name was changed to Former Command House upon gazette.
It is currently occupied by a Business University.
Architecture
The two-storey colonial residence was designed in a unique Arts and Crafts architectural style popular in the 19th century.
Flagstaff House was probably designed by architect Frank Brewer, who had designed the former Cathay Building.

Under the Spell is the seventh studio album, by Australian musician Dave Hole. At the ARIA Music Awards of 1999, the album won the ARIA Award for Best Blues and Roots Album.
Reception
Michael B. Smith from AllMusic said "With Under the Spell, Australian guitarist Dave Hole and his veteran backup band manage to lasso in all of the energy from their live concerts, while under the roof of a usually antiseptic recording studio environment... Under the Spell combines excellent acoustic foundations, topped with blistering slide work and power-soaked vocals, to provide one of the finest blues albums of the year. The CD should be required listening for all fans and students of the slide guitar, as well as connoisseurs of the blues in general."
Billboard (magazine) wrote "Slide guitar fanatics will have their brains blown out by this Australian fret-melter ... Remarkably inventive, technically unusual overhand slide work that separates him from the common pack of Elmore James worshippers ... prepare to hear your jaw hitting the floor."

Television News Inc. (TVN) was an American syndicated news service, providing daily feeds of newsfilm to subscribing television stations in the United States and Canada between 1973 and 1975. Majority-owned by the Coors Brewing Company of Golden, Colorado, TVN was among the first services of its kind to cater to the growing number of independent stations producing newscasts. However, it lost millions of dollars throughout its run, being unable to carry out a proposed shift to satellite distribution that would have made it a pioneer in the field, and it also came under fire for being positioned by owner and financial backer Joseph Coors as a conservative alternative to the three major networks, whose news output he deemed "liberal". Coors's ownership of TVN and refusal to step down from the post was instrumental in the United States Senate's rejection of his nomination to the board of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) in 1975.
Founding
The launch of TVN was announced in February 1973, with Robert Pauley as its chief executive and $4 million in initial capital, most from Coors. Pauley had pitched the idea to Joseph Coors, one of the brothers who owned the Coors enterprises; until that time, most non-network sources of newsfilm sent it by air express mail to clients, while Pauley proposed a much more expensive system in the model of major networks. The first customer was Miami's WCIX-TV, which was in the middle of expanding its local news service; the check from the Miami station was framed at the network's offices. At launch, TVN maintained bureaus at its headquarters in New York City, where the company had offices on the 21st floor of a Manhattan skyscraper, as well as in Los Angeles, Chicago, and Washington, D.C.
TVN service began May 14, 1973, with a two-week trial taken by 32 stations. In addition to WCIX, KTVU in San Francisco had signed up at launch. What set TVN apart from its competitors—the major networks—was that it was able to offer all of its newsfilm to subscribers. Frequently, networks held back the best segments of footage for their own newscasts, leaving local stations with less valuable material for their own programs. TVN, however, did not have such limitations, and it also offered material from London-based Visnews, a minority stockholder in the firm. Two Los Angeles stations took the trial and gave glowing remarks to the service, with Stan Chambers of KTLA calling it "excellent" and "the great logical idea whose time is finally here". At the end of the trial period, TVN won accounts from Chicago's WGN-TV and Metromedia's four stations, a significant step toward viability. The company had signed up 26 stations by April 1974, with further major-market independents including WOR-TV in New York as well as network affiliates such as KYW-TV in Philadelphia, KSD-TV in St. Louis, and WBTV in Charlotte. That same year, it bought out the United States business of United Press International Television News, a competing film service owned by United Press International and ITN, eliminating its only competition in the field of non-network newsfilm syndicators.
In January 1975, TVN disclosed plans to shift from distributing news film through AT&T long lines and use the Westar satellite system for delivery, partly in response due to a rate increase for "occasional" land line users such as TVN; Jack G. Wilson, the president of the company, described the move as being its financial salvation. One reason was that switching costs to hook up independents and network affiliates to the AT&T lines often exceeded what the company charged its newsfilm customers. This was a bleeding-edge proposal for its time and would have been the first full-time use of a U.S. satellite for television program distribution. $11 million was to be set aside for the construction of earth stations at affiliates across the country, as many as 35 within seven months, and subscribers such as WCIX considered the installation of these facilities with the possibility of receiving additional non-network programs as more groups switched to satellite broadcasting. By this time, it had 37 subscribers in the United States and another 36 in Canada; the Canadian stations could not use the satellite distribution. Notably, as the service was not exclusive in a given market, there were multiple cities where more than one station took TVN's service. In Los Angeles, five stations (KHJ-TV, KMEX, KNXT, KTLA, and KTTV) were its customers; there were three in New York and four in Toronto, including the CBC (a part-owner of Visnews), CFTO-TV, and the Global Television Network.
Conservative slant
The Coors family and particularly Joseph Coors had a reputation for conservatism, and in the 1970s, Coors provided significant seed money for new national conservative organizations, such as the Heritage Foundation.
Even in the first month of TVN's life, editorial direction proved an issue. Even though Dick Graf, a former WNBC news director, reportedly got Coors's backing for "down the middle" news coverage, on June 4, 1973, the board of directors declared that its policy "requires a more balanced presentation of the news than the service has thus far exhibited". A Coors assistant, Jack G. Wilson—who had worked in local TV news in Rockford, Illinois, and Denver before joining the company and was a Heritage Foundation trustee—was named assistant and made many story suggestions and comments, including one in which he described Martin Luther King, Jr. as "an avowed communist revolutionary". Graf resigned after Wilson, against his orders, hired a camera crew and reported on a bribery scandal in the West German government; he stayed on for a short time as a "marked man". Meanwhile, Wilson continued to criticize TVN's coverage as consistently too far to the left, asking "What in the world are we doing giving a platform to American Indian Movement revolutionaries"; Graf told others that he was asked by Coors, "Why are you covering Daniel Ellsberg? He's a traitor to his country". Ultimately, Graf was fired in February 1974 while on vacation, putting Wilson in control; he was ultimately appointed president that June.
Under Wilson, conservative editorial bias became more of an issue. Leadership turned over in the Washington bureau, where some staffers felt that founding Heritage Foundation president Paul Weyrich exercised influence and even wrote questions at a news conference. While stories were not slanted, often story selection was: at one time, reporter Carolyn Lewis did a story with Ralph Nader only to be told that TVN did not want him on its air. In September 1974, Wilson made major cutbacks at the service, which left just two reporters and two staff cameramen in the Midwest and West and made TVN even more reliant on stringers and stories from its affiliated stations; he also fired the then-news director, Tom Turley.
At the start of 1975, a new employee joined TVN, a former television adviser to Richard Nixon and the president of his own television consulting firm: Roger Ailes, who became the vice president for news operations. Under Ailes, the company won a contract with the United States Information Agency to supply news clips and scripts for government use through a separate division of the company. Ailes resigned in September, citing "administrative disagreements" with management.
CPB nomination, scrutiny, and closing
In one of his last acts before resigning, on August 8, 1974, Nixon nominated Joseph Coors for consideration by the United States Senate to be named to the board of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. The nomination was renewed by Gerald R. Ford after he became president.
The March/April 1975 issue of the Columbia Journalism Review carried as its cover story a feature by Stanhope Gould entitled "Coors Brews the News". The piece expressed concern over pressures exerted by Wilson and the subtle "nudging" of the service to, per Wilson's words as quoted by Tom Turley, "put our philosophy in the news: gradually, subtly, slowly". Further attention was attracted when one part of a multi-part front page story reported that May by The Washington Post staff writer Stephen Isaacs profiled TVN and its issues, as well as Coors's attitudes toward public broadcasting; it also disclosed a letter written by Coors to CPB chair Henry Loomis in January 1975 expressing disdain for a public television documentary he felt "wrongly" attacked the funeral industry and noting his interest in "watching closely" such activity. The Coors reputation for conservatism dissuaded at least one station, WRC-TV in Washington, from signing up, though that city's WTTG and WTOP-TV were subscribers and generally found its content useful.
That September, nomination hearings began for Coors, scheduled for two days instead of the matter of hours contemplated for other CPB nominees. Another letter to Loomis, asking the CPB to hold off on expenditures for satellite interconnects of public television stations and suggesting it contract with a commercial firm for a system similar to that TVN was considering for its own distribution, also figured prominently. On the second day, Senator John O. Pastore, presiding over the hearing, asked Coors if he would commit to stepping down from his role at TVN if confirmed to the CPB board; Coors told him, "No, I will not", citing his fiduciary duty to Coors stockholders. He briefly, however, agreed to consider resigning. He also admitted to being a contributor to and generally agreeing with the views of the John Birch Society. During the hearing, Pastore told Coors, "No nomination which has come before this subcommittee has bothered me more than yours."
On September 29, 1975, TVN announced it would cease operating on October 31, citing a continuing "lack of revenues" for exiting the business and a lack of interest in a conversion to satellite distribution; the TVN Enterprises film production unit would remain in operation. At the time, it was estimated that TVN lost $50,000 a month, in part due to low rates offered to entice stations to join. However, prior loss figures provided by Coors were significantly higher. When the brewing company filed a prospectus in May 1975 ahead of an initial public offering, it stated that it had lost $2.2 million on TVN in 1973 and $3.2 million in 1974, with another $3 million in losses projected for the third year of the business.
The same day TVN closed, by an 11–6 vote, the Senate Commerce Committee rejected the Coors nomination, in large part because he refused to resign.
Legacy
TVN's legacy has occasionally been revisited, particularly its connection with Ailes in light of later projects such as Fox News Channel. In 2008, Kerwin Swint wrote a book, Dark Genius: The Influential Career of Legendary Political Operative and Fox News Founder Roger Ailes, which, per an article in Slate by Jack Shafer, "[labored] to establish TVN as the ideological progenitor of Fox News". In later years, Ailes described himself as a mere "consultant" to TVN, though he had previously noted he could hire and fire personnel.
Joining TVN upon its 1974 purchase of UPITN was Reese Schonfeld, later a co-founder of CNN, who proposed the satellite distribution plan while there but spent what a 1980 profile in Broadcasting magazine called an "unhappy year" with the company before being fired in June 1975. After TVN folded, in response to stations wanting a service of this type to continue because it had helped increase the ratings for their newscasts, he started the Independent Television News Association (ITNA), a cooperative based at WPIX in New York City, which used Westar to feed news to seven charter subscribers. Another employee with a long career in television management was Dennis Swanson, who would work for all of the Big Four networks including as president of ABC Sports.
The service's coverage of the Watergate hearings was helmed by Charles Gibson, who earned the attention of Sam Donaldson at ABC News; in 1975, Gibson was hired by that network as a Washington correspondent, later rising to host Good Morning America and World News.

Rescue behaviour is a form of altruistic behaviour shown by animals where an individual in distress is aided appropriately by another individual which puts itself at risk in the process. The idea and definition was proposed in 2010 and differentiated from other forms of cooperation and altruism by Elise Nowbahari and Karen L. Hollis.
Rescue behaviour has been demonstrated in a very limited range of animals that include ants, primates including humans, a few bird such as the Australian magpie, and wild boar.

Moondru Per Moondru Kadal is the soundtrack album for 2013 Indian Tamil-language romance film of the same name starring Arjun, Cheran, Vimal, Surveen Chawla, Muktha Bhanu and Lasini. The film’s cinematography and editing were handled by Bhojan K. Dinesh and S. N. Fazil respectively. The film features music composed by Yuvan Shankar Raja. Vasanth hired him as the composer, with whom he had previously worked in Poovellam Kettuppar (1999) and his last project Satham Podathey (2007).
Development
In an interview, the director stated that Yuvan Shankar Raja had put in about seven months of work for this film, while describing the genre of the soundtrack as post-modern music. The soundtrack album features six songs with lyrics penned by Na. Muthukumar.
Composing was started even before the film was launched, with the first song being recorded on 9 August 2011. Popular Bollywood singer Sonu Nigam originally sang the melody titled "Mazhai Mazhai Mazhaiyo Mazhai", which was recorded in Mumbai. The final version, however, featured Karthik's vocals. Neha Bhasin, who had sung the well received song "Pesugiren" in Satham Podathey before, lent her voice for another song in the album. Nandini Srikar of Ra.One fame crooned a solo "Aaha Kadhal", which, too, was recorded in Mumbai, while composer Ramesh Vinayagam sang a peppy number titled "Stop the Paatu" for the album. A teaser trailer of "Stop The Paatu" was released online in September 2012 and garnered positive response. The composer himself performed the song "Unakkagave" which was dubbed as the first dubstep track in Tamil cinema. Yuvan Shankar Raja later revealed that he had not composed a single new tune for the film, but that all were stock songs he had earlier recorded which were chosen by Vasanth. The final mixing was done by Kausikan Sivalingam in Berlin, according to Vasanth.
Release
The album was launched in a critically acclaimed event on 25 January 2013 at the Park Sheraton Hotel in Chennai. The entire cast and crew of the film, besides noted film personalities, including directors K. Balachander, K. S. Ravikumar, K. Bhagyaraj, N. Lingusamy, Sasi and actors Shanthanu Bhagyaraj, Khushbu, Krishna, Prakash Raj were present at the function which was host by television anchors Ma Ka Pa Anand and Divyadarshini. The songs from the album were also performed live on stage by the original artists.

Reception
The album received very positive critical response. Milliblog wrote: "Vasanth and Yuvan’s combination continues to rock!. Indiaglitz wrote: "A good collection of songs at the end of the year, almost appears as if it has been picked out of good songs". Behindwoods wrote: "Overall, the album might have been described as ‘post-modern’ by the director,[sic] Yuvan Shankar Raja does things his own way, and does it mighty good". S. Saraswathi from Rediff wrote "Music by Yuvan Shankar Raja is the only saving grace of an otherwise ordinary film. Every song has its own unique flavour and is incredible" and described the music as "exceptional". Sify stated "Yuvan Shankar Raja`s music and background score is terrific with right mixture of melodies and fast numbers with `Aaha Kathal` and `Mazhai Mazhai` being the pick of the lot".

HKSAR v. Lai Chee Ying was an appeal involving points of law by the Department of Justice over the decision of the Court of First Instance (CFI) decision to grant bail to the founder of Apple Daily Jimmy Lai. The Court of Final Appeal (CFA) reversed the CFI's interpretation of art.42(2) of the Hong Kong national security law.
The Court of Final Appeal displaced the presumption of bail in common law and Hong Kong's Criminal Procedure Ordinance. The CFA held that, with regards to national security offences, the Hong Kong national security law (NSL) carves out a specific exception from the bail regime; the presumption in Article 42(2) of the NSL (NSL 42(2)) being that no bail should be granted. Hong Kong Courts can only consider granting bail if the Court finds sufficient grounds to believe that the accused would not continue to commit offences endangering national security.
Background
Executives of Next Digital, the parent company of pro-democracy newspaper Apple Daily, were arrested on 10 August 2020, which its office was raided on the same day. Three were suspected of violating the NSL: founder of Next Digital Jimmy Lai and his son Ian Lai, and CFO Royston Chow. Jimmy Lai's private secretary Mark Simon, a foreign national, was reportedly wanted by the law. Jimmy Lai and his older son Timothy Lai, CEO Cheung Kim-hung, Royston Chow, administrative director Wong Wai-keung, animation director Kith Ng, a total of 6 people were accused for alleged fraud. Jimmy Lai was accused of financing groups advocating sanctions against Hong Kong.
All arrestees were granted bail by the police originally, until 2 December 2020 when Jimmy Lai was arrested again and formally charged with fraud on the next day. He was denied bail by court and remanded in custody. While waiting for bail hearing, Jimmy Lai was further charged with one count of “collusion with a foreign country or with external elements to endanger national security”, contrary to art.29(4) of the NSL on 11 December 2020. The Chief Magistrate, Victor So, refused bail and remanded the respondent in custody on the basis that there were substantial grounds for believing that the accused would fail to surrender to custody or commit an offence while on bail.
Lai submitted an appeal to the Court of First Instance. The bail appeal received grave concern from the public. On 23 December 2020, the CFI granted him bail pursuant to section 9J of the Criminal Procedure Ordinance subject to the respondent providing the undertaking offered by him in the strict terms. Despite the conditions of bail were said to be as strict as similar to house arrest, Department of Justice (DOJ) of the Government immediately appealed to the Court of Final Appeal, while pro-Beijing media and government mouthpieces strongly criticised the decision of letting Lai leaving the detention centre. Lai, on 31 December, was sent to jail again after the court decided to consider the appeal, and the government won on 9 February 2021. Subsequent bail application by Lai were denied. He faced additional charges and was jailed for his participation in protests.
Hearing and rulings
The Respondent (Lai) argued that on the principle of legality, a remedial interpretation involving a reading down of NSL 42(2) is required due to intrusion on the presumption of innocence and right to liberty. The Respondent argued that the NSL cannot override the Hong Kong Basic Law or ICCPR, and the Court can deal with its constitutionality by virtue of being entrusted with the power to uphold BL. By placing a burden on the accused to establish that bail should be granted, the Respondent argued that NSL 42(2) derogates from constitutionally protected rights, including the right to bail and the right to personal liberty, and must be justified as being intrusions which are no more than reasonably necessary. The NSL and Basic Law should be construed as a coherent whole and should be construed in a manner which is compatible with, and continues to respect and protect, the fundamental rights accorded by BL and ICCPR. The Respondent further submits that the Prosecution bears the burden of proof in establishing that bail should not be granted and that nothing in NSL 42(2) changes that.
Displacement of presumption of bail
The CFA held that the earlier decision to grant appeal by the CFI was to be set aside, on the ground that the lower court had elided the NSL 42(2) question with discretionary considerations under conditions of refusing bail of s.9G the Criminal Procedure Ordinance. The CFA held the lower court misapprehended the nature and effect of the threshold requirement created by NSL; the “double negative” requirement for granting bail in NSL 42(2) was mistranslated into a positive requirement that the court has to be satisfied that there do exist grounds to believe that the accused will continue to commit acts endangering national security as a basis for refusing bail.
The CFA recognized NSL 42(2) was intended to operate in tandem with constitutional rights, freedoms and other applicable statutory norms, including the rules governing bail in general, as part of a coherent whole, subject to any specific changes effected by NSL 42(2). However, NSL 42(2) carves out a specific exception from the bail regime and introduces a new and more stringent threshold requirement for the grant of bail; the presumption in Article 42(2) of the NSL (NSL 42(2)) being that no bail should be granted. Only when the Court finds sufficient grounds to believe that the accused would not continue to commit offences endangering national security, should the court apply the presumption in favour of bail and proceed to consider all other matters relevant to the grant or refusal of bail.
It was further held that the Prosecution bears no burden of proof in relation to proving that there is no sufficient ground to believe that the accused would not continue to commit offences endangering national security.
Jurisdiction of reviewing NSL
The CFA applied Ng Ka Ling v Director of Immigration (No 2) and asserted that there is no jurisdiction in the courts of Hong Kong to review the legislative acts of the National People's Congress (NPC) and its Standing Committee (NPCSC) done in accordance with the Basic Law. Therefore, three is no jurisdiction to review the acts of the NPC or NPCSC leading to the promulgation of the NSL on the basis of any alleged constitutional incompatibility and, accordingly, the court had no power to hold any provision of the NSL unconstitutional or invalid as incompatible with the Basic Law or the Hong Kong Bill of Rights Ordinance. The Court regard the promulgation of the NSL was done in accordance with art.18 of the Basic Law on the basis that national security was outside the limits of the HKSAR's autonomy and within the purview of the Central Authorities.
Effects
Subsequent bail application by Jimmy Lai were denied. He faced additional charges and was jailed for his participation in protests.
The CFA in HKSAR v Lai Chee Ying ruled explicitly for the first time that as long as the conditions stipulated in the Basic Law for Chinese organs to exercise power are satisfied, Hong Kong courts have no jurisdiction to review the resulting acts for compatibility with the Basic Law's rights provisions. In effect, the Court closed off the possibility of disapplying an NSL provision or engaging in remedial interpretation thereto, if it finds an NSL provision to be incompatible with the Basic Law.

The Lima Consensus are neoliberal, deregulatory, free market and far-right policies Peru adopted since the presidency of Alberto Fujimori that are supported by the nation's economic elite. The description of such policies as the "Lima Consensus" was credited to Harvard University government professor Steven Levitsky. Such policies have made Peru attractive for foreign portfolio investment, though has resulted with increased economic inequality, crime, corruption and poor labor rights. Those who support the Consensus are often free-market fundamentalists and view any economic interventionism as socialism or communism.
Background
According to Orihuela, the belief of limited state intervention held by the elite is due to frequent commodity booms, the weakness of the government, social disparities and the lack of national economists. The Government of Peru displayed little interference in the public sector throughout the nation's history since Peru frequently experienced commodities booms that benefitted white elites on the coast instead of the indigenous majority in rural areas. The persistence of this model prevented development in Peru, hampered progressivism movements and made the establishment of a national economy impossible. Peru experienced limited government interaction in the public sector until 1968 when the military junta leadership of General Juan Velasco Alvarado began, with state capitalism and heavy spending instituted that resulted in large national debt. Political scandals resulted in the end of the junta and the Lost Decade of the 1980s began, with President Fernando Belaúnde Terry failing to develop an effective economic policy and his successor Alan García experienced the complete deterioration of the state due to corruption, hyperinflation and the internal conflict in Peru.
Plan Verde
The Peruvian armed forces grew frustrated with the inability of the García administration to handle the nation's crises and began to draft a plan to overthrow his government. According to Peruvian sociologist and political analyst Fernando Rospigliosi, Peru's business elites held relationships with the military planners, with Rospigliosi writing that businesses "probably provided the economic ideas which [the military] agreed with, the necessity of a liberal economic program as well as the installment of an authoritarian government which would impose order". Thus, Plan Verde was drafted at the end of the García presidency; the objectives evolved into establishing a civilian-military government with a neoliberal economic policy, the genocide of impoverished and indigenous Peruvians in an effort to remove a drain on resources and the control or censorship of media.
During his campaigning for the 1990 Peruvian general election, Alberto Fujimori expressed concern against the proposed neoliberal policies of his opponent Mario Vargas Llosa and promised not to use shock therapy on Peru's economy. Peruvian magazine Oiga reported that following the election, the armed forces were unsure of Fujimori's willingness to fulfill their objectives outlined in Plan Verde and it was reported that they held a negotiatory meeting with him to ensure that Fujimori followed their direction. Fujimori would go on to adopt many of the policies outlined in Plan Verde.
Implementation
The Lima Consensus as established by the Fujimori administration focused on deregulation and privitization with the goal of establishing a neoliberal economy. Fujimori and the Consensus experienced support as the public began to distrust left wing groups following the Velasco dictatorship and due to actions of communist guerillas druing the internal conflict. As the Fujimori government began to implement their economic policy, his administration attempted to rewrite Peru's economic history, with Minister of the Economy Carlos Boloña inaccurately stating "during the three decades that preceded to date, populist, socialist or mercantilist ideas and governments exercised almost absolute predominance in our country". Fujimori then instituted economic shock therapy policies described as "Fujishock"; Peru experienced macroeconomic stability though millions of Peruvians were instantly sent into poverty. The dismantling of political parties in the 1990s resulted with weaker newcoming politicians into the twenty first century since technocrats that existed in Fujimori's government would go on to promote the Consensus and dominate politics in Peru.
As the Washington Consensus lost popularity in the 2000s, a more defined Lima Consensus began to emerge in Peru simultaneously as the economy improved during the 2000s commodities boom. The economic boom Peru experienced did not develop a stronger government however, with deregulation and privatization becoming more established due to the Consensus following the fall of the Fujimori government while elites supporting the Consensus gained veto power in the government. Governments in the early twenty first century also prevented funding for social programs such as education, healthcare and poverty programs, with Peru spending much below the Latin American average. Alejandro Toledo continued to promote the decentralization of Peru, while the former social democrat Alan García took implementation of the consensus even further, adopting policies similar to Augusto Pinochet and combatting with indigenous groups opposed to mining in their communities, events culminating with the 2009 Peruvian political crisis that saw civilians against an oil development in the Amazon rainforest massacred. The Consensus effectively paralyzed the government of Ollanta Humala. Keiko Fujimori, the daughter of Alberto Fujimori, has been a major proponent for the Lima Consensus, utilizing the support of neoliberal economist Hernando de Soto to support her position during her elections. In 2020, the Congress of Peru refused to ratify the Escazú Agreement regarding environmental rights due to the beliefs surrounding the Lima Consensus, arguing that it would violate the sovereignty of Peru.
Following the 2021 Peruvian general election that saw lefitst candidate Pedro Castillo elected into the presidency, Fitch Solutions warned that his election posed "substantial risks to the 'Lima Consensus', the investor-friendly economic policy framework that has persisted over the last 20 years".
Analysis
The majority of the growth that occurred following the Lima Consensus occurred due to commodity booms, not due to deregulation and free trade. Consensus policies are supported by the economic elite and some of the middle class, with supporters advocating for deregulation, privatization and the removal of social programs. Successful Peruvian politicians often espouse center-left ideas while campaigning to gain the electoral majority and later turn to support the powerful right-wing elites after taking office.
This lack of state intervention as promoted by the Consensus has resulted with a weak government with poor performance, with many Peruvians experiencing insufficient basic services such as education, justice and security. The lack of state intervention has also resulted with the increase of corruption, crime, crony capitalism and inequality, with many political officials frequently moving between business and government positions without oversight. Regarding organization, Peru's weak government has also caused poor urban planning throughout the nation. The Consensus has also resulted with environmental degradation as businesses take advantage of deregulation in order to attain more growth. Such shortcomings of the government – promoted by the economic elite – result in a cycle of citizen dissatisfaction with the weak government while the government remains weak due to poor political support.

Suedberg is an unincorporated community in Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania, in the United States.
Geography
Suedberg is located in Pine Grove Township just above Swatara State Park along Pennsylvania Route 443, also known as Suedberg Road. The Suedberg Fossil Site is located here.
Mill Creek enters the Swatara Creek at Suedberg. Mill Creek, along with its branches, is impounded by the Siegrist Dam to create the Lebanon Reservoir. The Lebanon Reservoir serves as the primary water supply of Lebanon, Pennsylvania.
History
Suedberg was settled as Mifflin.A post office called Mifflin was established in 1871 and closed in 1882. In 1894, it opened and renamed to Suedberg and remained in operation until 1934.
The Suedberg Church of God was established in 1870 or 1871, under the pastorate of Elder Israel Hay, of Fredericksburg, Pennsylvania.
The old railroad bed of the Lebanon & Tremont Branch of the Reading Railroad ran through Suedberg, connecting the West End coalfields of Schuylkill County with the town of Lebanon and paralleling the Union Canal below Pine Grove. The railroad was operant until the 1960s when Interstate 81 was completed. The branch was abandoned east of Suedberg in 1965, and the remainder between 1978 and 1981. Conrail abandoned the line, with the former roadbed being transferred to the state.

Shirin Su bathhouse or the Bathhouse of the Fresh Water () is a historical monument located in the city of Shusha. It was built in 1878–1880 at the order of Khurshidbanu Natavan by the architect of Kerbelayi Sefikhan Garabaghy. On 2 August 2001, the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Azerbaijan, by the Resolution No. 32, registered it as a historical monument of a republican significance.
History
The Shirin Su bathhouse, one of the Shusha bathhouses, was built at the order of Khurshidbanu Natavan, the daughter of the last Karabakh khan, Mehdigulu Khan Javanshir, in 1878-1880s, by the architect Karbalayi Safikhan Karabakhi. The bath was called "Shirin Su" (fresh water) thanks to the fact that it used drinking water, which was brought to city, back in 1873, by Natavan. The bathhouse served men on the odd days of the week, and women on the even days. It functioned until the city of Shusha got under the control of the Armenian forces. After the end of the Karabakh War, the building of the bathhouse remained intact, however the interior decoration was changed by Armenians. The patterns and the ornaments on the dome and the hall's walls were completely destroyed. A swimming pool, not related to the bathhouse, was
built inside.

More Gravy! is the second studio album, by Australian blues band, Collard Greens & Gravy. At the ARIA Music Awards of 2001, the album won Best Blues and Roots Album. The group's line-up was James Bridges on guitar and fiddle, Ian Collard on lead vocals, harmonica and guitar, and Anthony Shortte on drums. It was recorded live-in-the-studio at Soundhouse Studios with production by John Dorr and the group.
Reception
Australian musicologist, Ian McFarlane, described how the group's, "energetic foot-stomping, country blues sound tapped into the very roots of the genre." Patrick Donovan of The Age observed, "[their] local brand of swampy countrified electric blues has earned them a reputation as the best blues band in the land." Mark Watson observed, "Crisp woody vocals throughout coupled with [Collard]'s sizzling harmonica style, make this another stand-out album, one that yet again defies a justifiable description."

Aviation in the European Union and the European Free Trade Association is regulated by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). EASA specifies common standards for the licensing of aircraft pilots. EASA does not issue licences, rather licences are issued by member states. However, because the same standards are used, EASA licences are recognised by all member states.
Flight Crew Licensing is regulated by the document EU Part-FCL.
Licences
The most basic licence is the Light Aircraft Pilot Licence (LAPL). Separate licences are issued for aeroplanes, helicopters, sailplanes and balloons. This is not a standard ICAO licence.
Private Pilot Licences are issued for aeroplanes (PPL(A)) and helicopters (PPL(H)). The SPL is issued for sailplanes (gliders) and the BPL for balloons.
A Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL) allows a pilot to fly for remuneration.
An Airline Transport Pilot Licence (ATPL) allows a pilot to fly for air transport operations. It requires fourteen theoretical exams with a mandatory ground-school course.
Ratings
Instrument ratings
An Instrument Rating permits a pilot to fly in Instrument Meteorological Conditions (IMC). The competency-based instrument rating is obtained with a reduced training course, but it cannot be used on high-performance aircraft. The en-route instrument rating permits the pilot to fly in IMC only during the en-route phase of the flight, not during take-off or landing.
Night rating
A Night Rating permits a pilot to fly at night.

The Preble Box Toe Company explosion occurred on November 8, 1928, at the company's factory in Lynn, Massachusetts. Eleven people were killed in the blast and resulting fires and another nine later died from their injuries, making it the deadliest explosion to occur in Greater Boston.
Factory
The Preble Box Toe Company factory was built in 1921, before the passage of zoning laws. As a result, it was surrounded by a thickly-settled residential neighborhood. It was built from concrete and reinforced steel with a cement floor and was thought to be fire proof.
Explosion
Around 7:40 am a series of explosions occurred at the factory. The first explosion saw flames shoot out of the roof and from all four sides of the buildings. The cement bricks that made up the building were sent over Groveland Street and five houses behind the factory caught fire and were badly damaged. Two workmen were blasted through a one-foot thick cement wall and another was blown through a door and landed in the street twenty feet away. A total of 11 people were killed in the blast and nine more died from injuries they suffered in the blast. Fifty people who lived near the factory or were passing through the area were injured by broken glass.
The first fire alarm was sounded by a twelve-year-old boy who had to be boosted up by a friend to reach the fire alarm box. Apparatuses from Swampscott, Marblehead and Saugus assisted the Lynn Fire Department at the scene while crews from Peabody and Revere filled the empty Lynn stations. John Kelley, owner of a laundry across the street from the factory, allowed his store to be used as a Red Cross station.
Blaney family
The home closest to the factory (44 Groveland Street) belonged to the Blaney family. It caught fire soon after the explosion. The walls of the home collapsed, killing Lillian Blaney and four of her children. The Blaneys' eldest daughter, Vivan, died in the hospital later that day. Two of the Blaney children escaped from the house but were badly burned and two others were not home when the disaster occurred. Lillian Blaney and her five children were buried in Pine Grove Cemetery on November 11, 1928. Over 500 people showed up to the funeral services. President Calvin Coolidge sent a letter of condolence to the family's eldest surviving son, Harry Blaney Jr. Family patriarch Harry Blaney died from his injuries on November 21. Lynn Mayor Ralph S. Bauer started a fund to aid the surviving Blaney children.
Cause of the explosion
In the aftermath of the disaster, the state fire marshal reported that the blast had been caused by vapors rising from liquids used in the factory that caught fire and then exploded. Lynn fire chief Edward E. Chase found an ashtray containing cigarette butts and ash in the ruins of the factory, even though smoking was prohibited on the premises. State chemist Perley L. Charter reported that pyroxylin, acetic ether, guncotton, naphtha, and alcohol were found in the factory. Pyroxylin, a liquid solution made by treating dry guncotton with acetic ether, was used to make imitation leather for shoes. According to Charter, even the finished product in danger of exploding and a factory using such volatile chemicals should have not been permitted within 500 feet of a residence (the nearest residence to the Preble factory was 12 feet away). A grand jury investigation found that four to five tons of celluloid and inflammable liquid were kept on the property.
An inquest was held before Judge Ralph W. Reeve. Reeve's report concluded that The Preble Box Toe Company did not realize the dangerous conditions in their factory and that "the unlawful acts and negligence of the [company]...contributed to the deaths of all these deceased persons". The report also criticized Chief Chase, who, according to Reeve "did not have the proper conception of his duties in reference to fire prevention and, consequently, did not perform those duties properly", but that his neglect was so indirect he could not be blamed for the deaths. Chase disputed Reeve's findings, stating that he had done nothing improper and was being made a scapegoat. A grand jury indicted the Preble Box Toe Company for using a lot of land without a license and for storing inflammable fluid without a license. The jury also recommended that changes be made to the Lynn Fire Department and criticized its captain in charge of fire inspection, John H. Day, who had been to the factory three times, but did not realize the dangers that the chemicals used there posed.
The Preble Box Toe Company's insurer, Travelers Insurance Company, refused to pay double indemnity to the dependents of those killed or injured in the explosion. On September 25, 1929, the Chairman of the State Industrial Accident Board denied the claims on the grounds that there was not enough evidence to prove that the Preble Box Toe Company "was guilty of serious and willful misconduct".

The Sauk Siege () was a military standoff that happened on 5 July 2000. It was a attempted coup d'état for Yang di-Pertuan Agong and Malaysian Government by Al-Ma'unah led by Muhammad Amin Mohamed Razali.
The group was made famous by their audacious raid on 2 July 2000 on a camp of Malaysian Army Reserve (Mobilised) in the early hours of the morning and stealing weapons from the armoury. The group was later cornered in the village of Sauk, Kuala Kangsar, Perak and was involved in a stand-off the against the Malaysian Army and Royal Malaysian Police forces. The siege was ended when Malaysian security forces, including the army 22nd Grup Gerak Khas (22nd GGK) and police VAT 69 Pasukan Gerakan Khas, stormed the camp in Operation Dawn.
Event
Mohamed Amin Mohamed Razali led a band of 29 Al-Ma'unah members in a mission to overthrow the Malaysian government. The group included a serving Major in the Royal Malaysian Air Force. They dressed up in uniforms of senior army officers and claimed to be making a surprise inspection of the 304th Malaysian Army Reserve (Rejimen Askar Wataniah) camp at the Temenggor Dam in Gerik, Perak. The group tricked their way through and raided the armouries.
They had previously obtained military fatigues from various outlets and securing three units of Mitsubishi Pajero four-wheel-drive vehicles. The Pajero, of similar make to that used by the Malaysian Army was painted green and given false number plate at a house rented in the town of Kati, for the specific use as a transit point for the group.
In the early hours of 2 July 2000, 20 members of the Al-Maunah group got into three Pajero vehicles and proceeded to Post 2 Kuala Rhui Camp at 2.50 a.m. and then to Camp Bn 304 Rejimen Askar Wataniah at 4.15 a.m.
They talked their way into the Camps by feigning a surprise inspection, to conduct emergency spot checks of all the weapons and ammunition stored at both camps. Impressed by the manner in Amin and the others conducted themselves and assured by the presence of the three Pajero vehicles bearing the military registration numbers beginning with the letter 'Z', the military personnel at the two army camps were duped into allowing the group to take possession of all but one of the various army weapons, ammunition and other army equipment including communication equipment and some even helped the group to carry the weapons into the three Pajeros. They took away a huge cache of firearms and ammunition, including 97 M16 assault rifles, two Steyr AUG rifles, four GPMGs, six light machine guns, five grenade launchers, 182 M16 magazines, eight extra barrels of GPMGs, three extra barrel of LMGs, 26 bayonets, 9,095 rounds of 5.56mm and 60 rounds of 40mm ammunition.
27 of them hid themselves in the jungle in Bukit Jenalik, Sauk, near Kuala Kangsar, in Perak. Amin then distributed the seized arms to his members for practice. The unusual sounds of firearms alerted local inhabitants who alerted the Police. The group made preparations for the operation, including collecting food supplies and taking them to their base in Bukit Jenalik. The food dumps were to keep the base going for about three weeks. They had obtained military fatigues from various outlets and securing three units of Pajero four-wheel-drive vehicles. They also collected weapons such as parang (machete) and cross bows for the purpose of their mission.
Police threw a containment cordon on Bukit Jenalik. A number of security personnel were deployed to penetrate the Al-Ma'unah's camp. However, two of the police personnel Sergeant (Sarjan) Mohd Shah Ahmad and Detective Corporal Raju Saghadevan, as well as civilian Jaafar Puteh and an army personnel, Corporal Matthew anak Medan, were taken hostage by Al-Ma'unah. In a radio communication with the authorities, the group stated their intention to cordon off Kuala Lumpur if their demand for Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad to resign in 24 hours was unmet. Jaafar Puteh was a civilian who wandered into their camp while looking for durian fruit.
Mohd Shah Ahmad related during the trial that over the four days, the security personnel were abused and tortured. They were made to dig trenches along the sides of Bukit Jenalik to serve as a defence in the event of an attack on the camp. At night, they were tied to a durian tree. It was that Mohd Shah and Sanghadevan buried Corporal Matthew in one of these trenches. Trooper Matthews was apprehended by Jemari Jusoh and when Amin realised the identity of Corporal Matthew, Amin tortured Matthew by shooting his leg. Amin then ordered the Jemari Jusoh to shoot Matthew in cold blood.
On the morning of 5 July 2000, a member of Al Ma'unah, Abu Bakar Ismail was shot by the security forces. In retaliation, Amin and his followers returned fire against the security forces. During this cross fire, Saghadevan was shot dead (Mohd Shah claimed that Amin shot Saghadevan in the head twice). Saghadevan was buried next to Trooper Matthews by Mohd Shah and Jaafar Puteh.
Surrender
Al-Ma'unah later surrendered, and the leaders brought to trial for “waging war upon the King.” The Malaysian Government acted against the Al-Ma'unah group only after giving it every chance to surrender and retained public support by giving the Al-Ma'unah members fair trials and re-integrating them into society.
Mohamed Amin Mohamed Razali was the last to surrender. Just before doing so, he grabbed the Malaysian Army Field Commander, Lieutenant General Zaini Mohamad Said by his shirt and tried to shoot him at point-blank range. The General flicked the barrel of Amin's assault rifle and the bullet hit one of the militants. Zaini was later awarded the Seri Pahlawan Gagah Perkasa (S.P.) award for his bravery and contribution in ending the siege without further loss of life.
Lieutenant General Zaini Mohamad Said went up the hill with 43 Army Commando personnel in four armoured personnel carriers followed by 16 infantrymen after Deputy Superintendent of Police, Abd Razak bin Mohd Yusoff, and his VAT 69 Commando team spent two odd hours negotiated and persuaded Amin to surrender. Later, DSP Abd Razak bin Mohd Yusoff informed Zaini that the Al-Ma'unah's group leader has agreed to surrender. When they reached there, about 15 Al-Ma'unah members surrendered the stolen weapons, but refused to give up their parangs which they claimed to be inscribed with Quran verses until relented later. Abd Razak bin Mohd Yusoff was also awarded the Seri Pahlawan Gagah Perkasa for his bravery as a role of mediator in the incident. Razak was the officer-in-charge of the Parachute Branch, Pasukan Gerakan Khas, Royal Malaysian Police.
Deaths
Three people were killed before the group finally surrendered. Detective Corporal R. Saghadevan of the Special Branch was killed, some claimed he was executed, during the siege. The group also killed an Army commando, Corporal Mathew anak Medan, who was shot by Jemari Jusoh. Both were tortured before they were killed. The third person killed was a group member who was shot and killed when he refused to retreat.
Other attacks
Mohamed Amin Mohamed Razali also sent members to bomb the Anchor and Carlsberg breweries in Petaling Jaya and Shah Alam near Kuala Lumpur and the Hindu temple in Batu Caves. Only minor damage was done. Members of the group, Shahidi and Roslan, later admitted to attacking the Carlsberg brewery on the outskirts of Kuala Lumpur with grenade launchers stolen from the army camps.
Trial and sentence
Mohamed Amin and his group were brought to trial for charges of “waging war against the King,” and became the first people convicted of such offence in Malaysia. Amin and his two lieutenants, Zahit Muslim (ex-police VAT-69 commando) and Jamaluddin Darus, were sentenced to death. Sixteen others were given life sentences. In June 2003, the Federal Court turned down Mohamed Amin's appeal for life imprisonment and confirmed the death sentence on him for waging war against the King.
Megat Mohamed Hanafi Ilias, Muhamad Nukhshah Bandi Che Mansor, Riduan Berahim, Azlan Abdul Ghani, Shahidi Ali and Khairul Anuar Mohamed Ariffin, were sentenced by the High Court to ten years in jail after pleading guilty to treason, a lesser charge. They were originally charged with waging war against the King, an offence that carries the death penalty or life imprisonment. Instead, they accepted a guilty plea in a reduced charge of preparing to wage war against the King, which refers to collecting or attempting to collect men, arms or ammunition with the intention of waging war.
15 Al-Mau'nah detainees were released from the detention of the Internal Security Act (ISA) on 24 November 2003, however the release came with a string of conditions which included restricted residence to a particular district, the need to report to police weekly, and a 9 pm to 6 pm curfew.
Mohamed Amin Mohamed Razali hanged
Mohamed Amin Mohamed Razali, leader of a militant group, was hanged at the Sungai Buloh Prison in Selangor on 4 August 2006, as reported by Bernama news agency. Zahit Muslim, Jamaluddin Darus, and Jemari Jusoh were hanged a week earlier.
Pardon

The autumn trial system () was a special judicial system in the Qing dynasty of ancient China. During the Qing dynasty, people who committed crimes like subversion and treason will be sentenced to death (). In such cases, typically, criminals could not be amnestied. Nevertheless, if people who committed crimes like murdering a junior member in the family, he or she might be sentenced to death penalty with a suspension , called "Zhan Jianhou" or "Jiao Jianhou" in Chinese (). In such cases, the officers in the Board of Justice (), the Court of Judicature and Revision (), and the "Court of Justice" () would determine whether to execute criminals sentenced to "Zhan Jianhou" or "Jiao Jianhou" in the autumn by a procedure called called the "autumn trial" ().
After the autumn trial, around 10-20 percent of criminals sentenced to "Zhan Jianhou" or "Jiao Jianhou" would be executed, while other criminals could typically obtain a commutation or a suspension for one more year. A criminal having obtained suspensions in the autumn trial system for several times might also obtain a commutation de facto.

The Morewood Lake Ice Company explosion occurred on December 29, 1910, at the company's plant in Pittsfield, Massachusetts. Twelve men were killed in the boiler explosion and five more died from their injuries.
Explosion
The explosion occurred on the first day of the ice harvesting season. Around 125 men, mostly Italian and Polish immigrants, gathered in and around the boiler house of the Morewood Lake Ice Company waiting for work. The boiler was a second-hand locomotive boiler that had been purchased from a saw-mill in 1906. It was only used for two to three weeks out of the year when ice was being harvested. The boiler had been inspected in the spring of 1910 and after changes were made, it was permitted by a state inspector to operate at 70 psi.
At 9:30 am, a violent explosion blew the boiler to pieces and sent fragments of iron and timber through the air. Men 400 yards away from the boiler house had to dodge debris and a 300-pound piece of the boiler flew over 300 yards and cut off five 30-foot high treetops. 12 people were killed almost instantly. Some of the bodies were thrown as far as 100 to 200 feet away from the boiler.
The blast could be heard throughout Pittsfield and shook windows as far as a mile away. Physicians, ambulances, and automobiles rushed to the scene. The injured were transported to the House of Mercy and the dismembered bodies were gathered up and brought to their families. 5 people died from injuries they suffered in the explosion.
Cause
Judge Charles Burke presided over an inquest into the explosion. At the inquest, witnesses testified that on the morning of the explosion, the engineer removed the cap from the safety valve, as he believed it out of order because the boiler blew off at a pressure of 35 to 40 psi when it was set for 80 psi. This generated excessive pressure that due to a defect or plugging up of the fittings was not shown by the pressure gauge. As a result, the strength of the boiler was exceeded and it exploded. In his final report, Burke found the cause of the explosion to be the compression screw on the valve and false reading on the gauge, which was attributed to clogging caused by rust from the boiler pipes. He ruled that no "unlawful act[s] of any person now alive contributed to the death of said decedents."
As a result of the accident, Massachusetts adopted stricter regulations regarding boilers.

The current concept of Korean Literature () focuses mostly on the literary work evolved within South Korea, its translation and gradual transition into 'World Literature' caused by the national globalisation drive, commonly known as 'Segyehwa' () (Medina, 2018).
The impact of Korean Wave on Korean literature
Korean Literature in Translation largely began as an economic project in the 1990s that was gradually transformed into a cultural project during the 2000s. Announced in 1994, South Korean President Kim Young-Sam’s Globalisation policy, heavily focused on the strategic transformation of Korea into a “first-rate-nation” (Kim Young Sam, 1995). Following this policy, the entire country invested their time and effort into the development and promotion of Korean art and culture. During 2000, South Korea had already fulfilled the checklist for industrial and national developments. The strategy to globalise the Korean culture through certain policies, corporate and Government strategic and cultural production not only well established the desire to be a part of the ‘World Culture’ but also focused heavily on preserving the root essence of the national aspects of it (Corral & UNESCO, 2000). The attempt to make it more appealing to the international audience, the strategic cohabitation of the Government, cultural institutes and the literary knowledge production houses, combinedly incorporated Korean Literature into a type of cultural discourse. As a consequence of the rising Korean wave or 'Hallyu' or , by 2005, Korean Pop (KPop) music, Korean dramas and movies along with the cuisine already become popular among the East and Southeast Asian audience (Hwang, 2013).
Recently, during the COVID 19 pandemic, the availability of Korean dramas such as Squid Game, Crash Landing on You on popular platforms such as Netflix, winning OSCAR by the Director Bong Joon Ho's Parasite along with the dedicated and continuous effort of the organised fandom of the worldwide popular KPop bands like BTS, Blackpink, further aided to the increasing popularity of Korean culture, literature and cuisine (Gibson, 2021).
KLTI and Korean literature in translation
Three primary organizations that have been fulfilling a significant role in the globalization of Korean literature are the State-funded Literature Translation Institute of Korea or LTI Korea, Daesan Foundation and International Communication Foundations or ICF. Since their establishment, these institutions have been providing financial support to the translators, authors, publishers via grants and prizes, developing educational training courses, hosting an array of several programs to strengthen the connection between Korean Literature and World Literature (Kim, 2002). Among these three key organizations, LTI Korea gradually emerged as one of the most significant ones to cast an impact. Since its establishment in 1996, LTI, Korea or ‘한국문학번역원’ has been working with the goal of successfully promoting the Korean Literature to the global audience. Several translations and publications have been sponsored by LTI, Korea along with arranging multiple overseas exchange programs between Korea and the overseas publishers and professional translators (Walraven & Breuker, 2007).
All of the LTI sponsored programs tend to focus on specific areas related to literature. Some of the key programs and facilities supported by LTI Korea are Translation Grants Program, Publication Grants Program, Education Program, Information Service, LTI Korea Library, etc. Each quarter, LTI Korea selects and oversees the translation of several Korean literary fiction, poetry, non-fiction, YA books, graphic novels and so on. Publication grants are also provided to the foreign publishers who have already acquired copyrights to works, translated by LTI Korea. Additionally, for the purpose of more engagement, LTI Korea conducts and participates in multiple cultural events. Previously, the forum was held in the US, Spain, France, Japan, Germany, etc. Another key event conducted by LTI Korea is Seoul's International Writers’ Festival. From fantasy, empathy to strategy, the workshops have focused on many themes. Eminent writers such as Bae Suah, Pyun Hye-young, Choi-Seoung-oh, Min Jin Lee, etc. have been a part of these workshops.
The translation academies organized by LTI Korea in foreign languages like English, German, Chinese, French, Spanish, Russian and Japanese focus on the training of translators. In addition to nurturing and upskill the current translators, LTI Korea also provides Korean Literature Translation awards to the new and existing translators.
LTI Korea library and translated literature
Opened to the common mass in 2007, the LTI Korea Library became the first library in Korea to include collections of translated Korean books, periodicals on Korean Literature, Ebooks, CDs, DVDs, etc. From common foreign languages such as English, German, French, Greek, Italian, Arabic, Swedish to the Asian ones such as Japanese, Thai, Bengali, Hindi, Mongolian, Chinese and many more, the Korean Literature has already been translated into approximately 48 foreign languages. Some of the most famous Korean books translated into foreign languages are Pachinko by Min Jin Lee, Kim Jiyoung Born 1982 by Cho Nam-Joo, Please Look After Mother by Kyung Sook Shin, The White Book by Han Kang, The Hen Who Dreamed She Could Fly by Hwang Sun-mi, and many more.
With the newly discovered power of Korean Literature in Translation, the country is now thriving and working towards globalizing their culture, deeply rooted in the nationalist value and rich literature to claim significant positions besides the significant literary discourses from other countries.

Moskovitz's plays
A jump аbroad
Igal escapes abroad when his love Dana, a successful director, becomes pregnant with his child. Four years later he returns to visit Dana, who is married to Shauli, and they are raising their daughter together. Dana must choose one of them. The play initially debuted with the direction of Dedi Baron in Hasimta Theater in 1991. Cast: Ika Zohar, Neta Moran and Zvika Schwartz. The play was released again later, with the direction of Neta Moran in the Tmu-na Theater in 1991, starring Yaron Motola, Elhi Levit and Yael Abecassis.
Bike trip
Three childhood friends reunite in a studio owned by one of them, a painter. One of them brings along a girl he met on the plane. During their encounter they talk about the things they have missed in life, when the image that comes up is a motorcycle trip they planned on doing, but never did. Cast: Neta Moran, Yoram Yosefsberg, Shlomi Moskovitz and Zvika Schwartzberg.
Integral part
A satiric parody written by Moskovitz and Gil Kopatch about the world of theater. The play revolves around the ten-year-old son of the general industry Head of the worker's committee. This child determines the theater's repertoire, since his father has leverage with the theater's manager. The play debuted with the direction of Dedi Baron, first on SELA – Yoram Levinstein's Performing Arts Studio, and then as a private production in 1995.
Week
Tamar is married to Yotam, but he feels neglected by her. Tamar misses her love, Emanuel, with whom she broke up 18 years ago. Emanuel shows up in their house, trying to rekindle the love. Tamar and Yotam's daughter escapes from a religious observance seminar – upset and looking for a way to fix things. The play takes place during one week, matching the seven days of creation. The play combines poetic language and slang. Dedi Baron directed the play In Habima theater in 2003. Cast: Idit Teperson, Michal Varsai, Ofer Zohar and Mohammad Bakri.
Moskovitz received the Nisim Aloni Prize for the Most Original Play of 2004. Panel of judges wrote in the reasoning:
“A craftsmanship of intertwining a complex and interspersed storyline, of characterizing the personalities in a profound and multi-subtleties manner, and combining supreme poetic exaltation with a variety of language styles in a theatrical imagery language, rare in its quality, and at the same time, the originality of the play shows, from using such a seemingly mundane, but in fact unusual plot, of a universal family drama, on the elements of the Jewish mythology. A secular family is exposed to the process of inauguration, self-acceptance and fixing, which leads, in a paradox manner, to a creative self-fulfillment through its dissolvement…moreover, in contrast to what was custom in the Hebrew drama in the past, enlisting the biblical verse to intensify the group ideology, the Book of books here is joining forces to support the revolution of the individual which is taking place in front of us today, and in the positive, exiting and optimistic, awakening side. Thus, this piece abridges so remarkably between our world and the popular values around the world, which was, again, proved by the enormous success of the play directed by Dedi Baron’s strong-willed hand… Shlomo Moskovitz has started a new era in the Hebrew play, basing on the biblical writings, that the late Nisim Aloni, has stated in ‘Crueler than Any King’, one of his unforgettable records”…
Astar will shine
This play is about a writer named Gabriel, who is living in a professional soldiers neighborhood and is suffering from a writer's block. One day he meets Julia, a nurse of a Russian origin, who tries to help him write. She spies on people in the neighborhood and uses their stories as an inspiration for the writer. In 2010 the play debuted in Habima theater, directed by Dedi Baron. Lead actors: Ana Dubrovitzki and Yigal Sadeh. Additional cast : Yuval Segal, Alon Neuman and Danny Leshman.

From 2003 to 2006, he was director of Kula's Institute for Construction.
Politician
Serbia introduced the direct election of mayors in the 2004 Serbian local elections. Bukvić contested the election as an independent candidate and was defeated by Tihomir Đuričić of the far-right Serbian Radical Party (Srpska radikalna stranka, SRS). Ðuričić was defeated in a recall election in 2006; a by-election was held shortly thereafter to choose a new mayor, and Bukvić (who had by this time joined the DS) was elected in the second round of voting.
Bukvić became mayor of Kula at a time of political instability in the community. The municipal assembly was often dysfunctional, and in late 2007 fellow DS member Velibor Milojičić was appointed as leader of an interim administration. Bukvić continued to serve as mayor, but his control over the municipal government was limited.
The direct election of mayors was eliminated with the 2008 local elections; since this time, mayors in Serbia have been chosen by the elected members of city and municipal assemblies. The DS won a narrow victory over the SRS in Kula in 2008, and Bukvić was chosen afterward for a second term as mayor. He was also elected to the Vojvodina assembly in the concurrent 2008 provincial election, defeating Đuričić by a significant margin in the Kula constituency seat. The DS and its allies won a majority victory in the provincial election, and Bukvić served as a supporter of the administration.
Kula's government continued to be dysfunctional after the 2008 election, and the local DS board became increasingly divided between supporters of Bukvić and Milojićić. During the course of this feud, Milojičić accused Bukvić of corruption and incompetency in office. Milojičić subsequently left the DS and joined the United Regions of Serbia (Ujedinjeni regioni Srbije, URS). The municipal assembly became completely dysfunctional in mid-2011 when DS members began boycotting its proceedings. Milojičić charged that this was done to prevent Bukvić from being removed from office.
Bukvić ultimately resigned as mayor in late 2011, after a ruling that he could not continue to hold a dual mandate as a provincial assembly member. A provisional administration was established in December 2011.
Bukvić was not a candidate for re-election to the provincial assembly in 2012. The following year, he was appointed to a position in the provincial secretariat for economy and tourism. He remained in this role until his sudden death in 2020.

Stray cow or stray cattle refers to animals such as cow, bull, ox and buffaloes that roam freely. The owner of a stray cow no longer claims ownership or its owner cannot be determined. Slaughtering cattle is banned in many parts of the country.
Cow slaughter is banned in many places in India with imprisonment and huge fines. Fear of arrest, persecution, and lynching by cow vigilantes has reduced the trading of cattle. Once the cow stops giving milk, feeding and maintenance of the cow becomes a financial burden on the farmer who cannot afford their upkeep. Cattle that farmers are unable to sell are eventually abandoned to wander.
India has over 5 million stray cattle according to the livestock census data released in January 2020. The stray cow attacks on humans and crops in both urban and rural areas is an issue for the residents. Stray cattle are a nuisance to traffic in urban areas and frequently cause road accidents. The problem of solid waste pollution, especially plastic pollution and garbage dumped at public places, poses risk to stray cattle which feed on garbage.
Causes
Slaughtering cows is illegal in most of India, because cows are considered holy in Hinduism. The anti-slaughter laws were not strictly enforced until 2014, when the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) came to power. Before this, farmers regularly took their old cows to slaughterhouses. Since 2014, cow slaughter has been made illegal in 18 states in India including Uttar Pradesh. In Uttar Pradesh, many slaughterhouses were closed down by the state government. These steps were taken by the BJP government in accordance with the party's right wing Hindu agenda.
Growing mechanization in the farming industry has also put cattle out of use as working animals, and increased the number of cattle abandonment cases. Fear of arrest, persecution, and lynching by cow vigilantes has also reduced the trading of cattle. Once the cow stops giving milk, feeding and maintenance of the cow becomes a financial burden on the farmer who cannot afford their upkeep. Cattle that farmers are unable to sell are eventually abandoned to wander.
Impact
Stray cattle pose a number of threats to human residents and animal welfare in both urban and rural areas. Stray cattle have been known to feed on standing crops and attack humans.
Roads
Stray cows are a frequent cause of road accidents in cities, where they crowd roads. Cow attacks on pedestrians and vehicles often becomes deadly. Moving vehicles colliding with stationary cows on the road, is a frequent cause of deadly road accidents in India. Cattle dung also creates a road hazard for pedestrians and two-wheeled vehicles who may slip on it.
In Tiruvallur, in one incident from 2022, emergency braking by a semi truck driver to avoid collision with stray cattle on the road, caused a multiple-vehicle collision which killed one driver. Most of the accidents related to stray cattle on the roads occur at night, when it is harder to see the animal on roads with insufficient lights.
Airports
Stray animals are common on the runways of Indian airports. These stray animals, including cattle, pose a major threat to air safety in most airports across the nation. According to the Airports Authority of India (AAI) officials, animals straying onto the runway are routine at many airports in India.
In 2018, a stray cow on the runway caused chaos at Ahmedabad airport leading to two planes aborting their landings. The cow crept past security at a cargo gate at the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport in Ahmedabad resulting in a cargo plane being diverted to Mumbai and delaying five domestic flights and several departures. It took over 90 minutes for the security personnel to clear the runway.
Election issue
The deadly attacks by the stray cows was an election issue in the 2022 Uttar Pradesh Legislative Assembly election. In 2017, after coming to power in Uttar Pradesh, the Yogi Adityanath ministry promised to build cattle shelters to better manage the stray cattle. Since then, anti cow slaughter laws have been strictly enforced.
The main opposition party in 2021, Samajwadi Party (SP) promised compensation of for farmers who were killed by bulls. SP promised to fix the root cause of the problem, removing the risk of trouble or harassment from trading of livestock.
In 2022, BJP leaders denied that stray cattle was an issue, despite complaints from farmers that stray cattle were destroying crops. Speaking at a rally in Kanpur in February 2022, PM Narendra Modi acknowledged the problem in his rally and said that the Yogi government is trying to solve the problem by setting up cattle shelters.
On 22 February, local farmers released hundreds of cattle at the venue of an election rally in Barabanki located 40 km from the state capital Lucknow. The act was to highlight the issues caused by the stray cattle in the area. In a viral video of the incident, hundreds of unattended cattle were seen roaming in the open rally ground.
Governmental response
Laws
In June 2020, the Uttar Pradesh government approved the Uttar Pradesh Cabinet Cow Slaughter Prevention (Amendment) Ordinance, 2020 that provided maximum sentence of 10 years imprisonment and a fine of up to for cow slaughter.
The residents of Tiruvallur district who allow their cattle to freely wander on the roads have been warned by the police. Imprisonment of up to three years and fines up to ₹5,000 are applicable according to the provisions of the Tamil Nadu Animals and Birds in Urban Areas (Control and Regulation) Act, 1997. Police have also threatened actions according to the Indian Penal Code and Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, in addition the stray cattle would be sent to cow sheds operated by the government. Yet these measures have not reduced the practice of cattle owners releasing their cattle. The authorities of Tiruvallur district have also set up call center to report incidents of stray cattle.
Cow tax
The Adityanath ministry in the state of Uttar Pradesh introduced a special 0.5% tax named as "Cow Protection Cess" on eight government departments including the department that earns revenue from alcohol tax. The cow protection cess was levied to earn money and maintain thousands of cow sheds operated by the government. The BBC reported that the tax did not solve the problem of stray cow and the cow sheds were found to be over crowded. In 2019, there were 510 cow shelters in the state of Uttar Pradesh registered in the state government records.
In 2021, it was reported that the Ludhiana Municipal Corporation had collected a cow cess of ₹3.5 crore every year, for taking care of stray cows. However, as of 2021 hundreds of stray cows are seen roaming in the streets on public places in Ludhiana city.
Cow sheds
Goshalas (or cow sheds) are shelters for unproductive, homeless, unwanted or elderly cattle in India. Since the BJP government came into power in India in 2014, India has spent on cow shelters in between the years 2014 and 2016.
The BJP state government claims to have provided money to the village pradhans to set up cow shelters to keep the stray cattle. Deccan Herald reported that it could not find cattle shelters in the villages of Sitapur, Lakhimpur Kheri, Hardoi and Unnao districts. Places that had cow shelters, were already full with no capacity to keep more cattle.
Large scale corruption have been reported in the building and management of cow shelters in Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh. The contracts for the cow shelters were awarded to people associated with the ruling party, BJP or the Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh.
Cattle housed in the cow shelters often starve to death due to lack of fodder in shelters that are not maintained properly. Overcrowded shelters lack sufficient manpower to manage the large number of cows and the money allotted to feed the cattle is not sufficient due to the over crowding.

Izayuke Wakataka Army Corps is the official theme song of the Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks of Nippon Professional Baseball. Written in 1989 after the Hawks' relocation to Fukuoka, the song has been around since when Daiei owned the team. At the time, "Diamond Hawk" was the Hawks' theme song, and this one was considered the "official theme song". When SoftBank Group bought the Hawks in 2005, "Diamond Hawk" was retired. The song was originally written by Taneyoshi Harada and Yurioko Mori, composed by Mitsuhiro Tomiyama, and arranged by Kenji Yamamoto.
Overview, history, and use during Hawks' games
In 1989, following the then-named Nankai Hawks' relocation to Fukuoka to be rebranded as the Fukuoka Daiei Hawks, it seemed like the team was needing a new song. They opened the song lyric writing to the public, and eventually got the late Taneyoshi Harada, a former elementary teacher who was living in the city of Saga at the time. The team wanted a theme song like The (Downward) Wind of Mount Rokko, the Hanshin Tigers' theme song. As of 2004, it sold 160,000 CDs. When SoftBank bought the team off Daiei, there was a slight lyricial change and a slight tune change. This was done as fans adopted the song and was afraid SoftBank was going to change the song. It wouldn't be until 2013 when the next lyrical change happened. As the Hawks' home, the Fukuoka Dome, was renamed the Fukuoka Yafuoku! Dome, a minor part of the lyrics was changed to reflect this. The same part of the lyrics would be altered again 7 years later, in 2020, as the stadium once again changed its name to the Fukuoka PayPay Dome, its current name.
Use in Hawks games
The Hawks use this when their players take the field prior to practice, when they take the field pre-game, before the Hawks are up to bat in the bottom of the 7th, and when the Hawks win. Before the game, they play the full song, presumably to get new fans to practice the song. During the Lucky 7 (when the Hawks are up to bat at the bottom of the 7th inning) only the 1st verse and chorus is played, and when they win, only the 2nd verse and chorus is played. However, only the 3rd verse and chorus is played only when the Hawks win the Pacific League pennant, are Pacific League champions, or win the Japan Series. The Daiei version is played when the Hawks wear the Daiei Hawks era jerseys.
Special versions
In 2019, to commemorate the Hawks' 30th anniversary of moving to Kyushu (the island in southern Japan where Fukuoka is) a version of the song was played in Hawks games known as WE = KYUSHU, where in this version celebrities like Jushin Liger, Hanamaru-Daikichi Hakata, Japanese pop group HKT48, Makoto Ayukawa, Bakarism, and Esis sung the song.
Note: Esis only sings in the full version.

George Frederick Amsberg (15 June 190525 November 1980) was an Australian barrister and judge of the District Court of New South Wales. He was a prominent member of the Sydney Jewish community. In his legal practice Amsberg defended some of Sydney's most high-profile criminals. In 1953, after becoming a judge, Amsberg was appointed as a Commissioner to preside over the highly political Royal Commission of Inquiry into the conduct of Joshua Arthur, a New South Wales government minister.
Biography
Early life
George Amsberg was born on 15 June 1905 at Woollahra, New South Wales, the son of Frederick Amsberg and Alice (née Abrahams). His father was a pawnbroker with a shop in Enmore-road, Enmore.
Amsberg received his secondary education at Fort Street Boys' High School. He attended Sydney University and graduated with a Bachelor of Laws in 1926, with first-class honours and sharing the University Medal with Garfield Barwick (later Chief Justice of Australia).
Legal practice
Amsberg was admitted as a Barrister in February 1928. During the 1930s and early 1940s Amsberg "acquired a leading practice as junior counsel". He was known as "a formidable cross-examiner", with a quick mind and "a capacious memory".
On 2 February 1938 Amsberg was cross-examining a witness named Victor Whitley in the Workers' Compensation Court, when the witness said to Amsberg, "I was one of the first Diggers who entered Jerusalem. Where were you?". The barrister angrily retorted to Whitley "that he would see him outside afterwards" and added, "I won't stand insults from anyone".
In 1940 Amsberg was living in Victoria Road, Bellevue Hill. George Amsberg and Agnes Plate were married on 3 July 1940 in a Jewish ceremony at the Temple Emanuel, Maccabean Hall in Darlinghurst-road, Darlinghurst.
War service
Amsberg served in the Royal Australian Naval Volunteer Reserve (RANVR) during World War II (from August 1942 to February 1945). He served on vessels engaged in minesweeping operations and the transportation of troops in New Guinea. Amsberg was promoted to the rank of lieutenant in December 1942.
Legal practice resumed
After the war ended many servicemen returning to practice at the Bar found great difficulty in obtaining chambers or suitable rooms, despite efforts by the Bar Council to remedy the situation and give priority to returned men. After his discharge in February 1945 Amsberg resumed his practice, finding a room in the University Chambers at 167 Phillip Street. Described as "one of the leaders of the junior Bar before he joined the Navy", Amsberg's accommodation was initially sub-standard, having to interview clients and solicitors in a very small room on the premises.
In the late 1940s and early 1950s Amsberg took on well-known Sydney criminals as clients, including John 'Chow' Hayes and William 'Joey' Hollebone, defending them in a number of high-profile cases. Chow Hayes later recalled that George Amsberg was amongst a number of Sydney lawyers who often attended Thommo's two-up school in Surry Hills, where both Hayes and Hollebone worked. Hayes claimed that Amsberg "knew everything there was to know about gambling and sly grog around Sydney"; he and Hollebone would sometimes drink with Amsberg "at old Kate Leigh's place and other dives". Amsberg sometimes sought advice from Hayes; "if an ordinary crim was pinched for something like house-breaking and sought Amsberg's representation, old George would send for me or Hollebone to check him out first – that is, to ensure he was a good fellow who knew how to mind his own business". Hayes claimed it was a common practice at that time for lawyers in Sydney to charge a larger amount than the receipt they issued to their client.
Amsberg was appointed a Queens Counsel in April 1951.
District Court judge
On 15 October 1952 Amsberg was appointed as a judge of the District Court of New South Wales.
In March 1953 Amsberg was appointed as sole commissioner to conduct the Royal Commission to inquire into and report upon whether Joshua Arthur, a New South Wales Government minister, "acted corruptly or improperly in any association or dealing" with Reginald Doyle (and other related matters). It was revealed that Amsberg had been chosen after the Chief Justice, Kenneth Street, had refused to make a Supreme Court judge available to preside at the Commission because of "the state of the law list" and the absence overseas of one judge. The Chairman of the District Court Bench was then approached, and Judge Amsberg was suggested for the role.
From about June 1953 Amsberg regularly appeared as a 'Brains Trust' panellist, public events organised by the YMHA (Young Men's Hebrew Association) and through the Temple Emanuel. Brains Trust events involved an expert panel with diverse backgrounds assembled to answer questions previously submitted by members of the public.
Retirement
Amsberg retired as a District Court judge in June 1968 and went to live at Broadbeach on the Queensland Gold Coast.
In June 1969 Amsberg was appointed as an Electoral Districts Commissioner to assist in carrying out a redistribution of electorates prior to the New South Wales State election in 1971.
George Amsberg died on 25 November 1980 at Southport, Queensland, aged 75 years. His obituary in the Australian Law Journal concluded with the following words: "He will always be remembered as one of the most colourful legal personalities of his time in Sydney, and for his kindness, friendliness and generosity on all occasions".
