Pregnancy should never be seen as a competition for anyone, it is always hard. Pregnancy is one of the hardest periods of a woman's life and it can be very tough to get through. That is only considering what a woman is going through. When considering the outside world, including work, social life and environmental factors, it can make it worse.
Most people enjoy the summer. They love the warmer weather and all the opportunities they have to get out and do something fun. That is, unless they are pregnant. Being pregnant during the summer can be a challenge. Specifically, for the women whose due date is in August. This means that most of their third trimester, which is the most exhausting, is happening during the hottest time of the year.
I can speak from experience on this topic a lot. My first child was born in March, so it was considered a winter pregnancy which had its challenges. I am due any day now with my second and it has been so much harder to get through. Of course, every woman and pregnancy are different and there are women out there who embrace being pregnant in the summer and I would like to meet them.
The problem is that the hurdles that a pregnant woman has to face in the summer are often unknown, so they are unexpected until they happen to them. We have here a list of the 20 things that happen during a summer pregnancy that no one ever sees coming.
Click the button below to start this article in quick view
Start Now
20 Your System Will Want To Shut Down
The third trimester has its own challenges that can be very difficult for mom. She is larger, uncomfortable, in pain and she is always tired. This will happen regardless of what season you are in when you hit this milestone in your pregnancy. However, summer and the heat that comes with it can make a woman who is not pregnant feel this way as well. Especially if she doesn't handle the heat that well.
Being pregnant in the summer can make your body want to shut down. You feel more sore, achy and tired and it will become a battle to even get out of bed in the morning. You may want to park it on the couch with a fan aimed at you and never get up again.
19 Everyone Else's Heat Radiates Too
When anyone is too hot it can be very uncomfortable and the worst thing that can happen is if anyone comes near you. We don't want any covers or blankets on us, so why would we want the weight and heat of another person all over us? The short answer is, we don't. We want people to keep their distance, because we feel the heat radiate off of them.
This is a problem when you are pregnant. Sure, you can tell dad to go take a hike, and tell your older kids to go play outside, but you can not remove your belly. You are constantly carrying around another person who seems like they are trying to make you even hotter and more uncomfortable. It is like a hiking backpack that you can never take off.
18 Frantic Pool Search!
One of the best things about summer and hot weather is the ability to take a nice dip in a pool. The cool water is very refreshing. This will become the meaning of life for a pregnant woman. Nothing is more refreshing on a hot summer day than a quick dip in the pool. Not only does it act to cool mom down, it can help her physically as well.
During the last trimester, mom's body gets really tired. She will have aches and pains that are associated with the weight and position of the healthy-sized baby growing in there. Being in the water is the best way to soothe those aches. It is also the best form of exercise when pregnant, although most women will just want to lounge, float and let the water take away all their pain.
17 Swelling Is Worse
A common problem that comes with being pregnant is swelling. Swelling can happen if you are pregnant during any season, but it is especially common to be worse in the summer. The hot weather does this. Swelling in the feet is quite common, as all the water retention will automatically head south due to gravity. The only good news is that when you are in the summer, you don't really have to shove your feet into restrictive foot gear.
It is ironic that the one thing that will help swelling a lot is to drink more water. This is ironic because swelling is normally due to retaining more water. Get a nice glass of water and sit with your feet up and you can manage the swelling.
16 Didn't Even Know You Could Sweat There
Not many people like to sweat. Even those who are not pregnant and like to work out are not partial to the amount of sweat they produce. When you are pregnant, sweat will feel extremely uncomfortable. It will be like another hot and uncomfortable layer of skin. Pregnant women tend to run hotter than when they are not pregnant, so they will sweat more.
Also, a woman who is pregnant in the summer will quickly find out that she can sweat in places that she never really knew she could. She may even start to wonder if it is just sweat or if her water has broken. I am sure hospitals have had this happen before.
15 Miss Those Summertime Drinks
Part of the fun of summer is catching up with friends in various locations. One of the most popular places for this is on the patio of the nearby restaurant or pub. This can be frustrating when mom is pregnant. Sure, she can go and hang out with friends, but she will be drinking mocktails all night. Women know this, and they are OK with not drinking to ensure a healthy baby, but it can still be hard.
Most women miss the social aspect of it, they almost feel like they don't want to go out because they are either going to be the designated driver or ignored all night.
14 Who Can Eat When It's This Hot?
We need to throw another section in here that is revolved around food because food is the center of all the focus for most of the pregnancy. It can be very hard to eat in the summer just because it is so hot. A woman who is pregnant in the summer will not feel like she has the energy to get up, turn on a stove and cook up a hot meal, nothing about that will sound appealing.
Not only will she not feel like cooking, but she won't feel like eating either. This will be due to her internal temperature raising and how uncomfortable she is. This is the perfect time to get dad to go out and grill something up, or better yet go to an air-conditioned restaurant for dinner.
13 No One Is Happy
The biggest problem about being pregnant in the summer is the heat, so this will be the main topic of most of this article. This also will depend on where you live, there are places out there that don't get too unbelievable hot in the summer. Most places have to deal with heat and humidity of the summer and that can create a lot of problems.
Modern advancements have given us the gift of air conditioners. These wonderful inventions have made life bearable for pregnant women, but it can make everyone else miserable. Mom-to-be will be inside and will have that A/C cranked and feel perfectly comfortable. The rest of the family will constantly be complaining about how hot they are.
12 Why Are So Many People Getting Married?
Sometimes there are things that happen that you don't bat an eye at until they inconvenience you. You don't even realize how often they happen or how annoying they are. Like weddings. When a woman is pregnant in the summer she is going to swear that everyone she knows is getting married and that they are all having outdoor weddings.
This would normally not be a problem if mom wasn't carrying around a baby and being asked to stay outside in the heat and sun for an extended period of time. It can be very uncomfortable and mom-to-be will wince every time she spies a fancy envelop in her mailbox.
11 Changing Looks Coming With Image Concerns
It is not really a surprise that women have to deal with some body changes when they are pregnant. Deep down every woman knows it is for the best, she is growing and nurturing another human being, and this can not happen without some changes to her body. She will gain the baby bump, stretch marks and the hormonal acne. The problem is that this is the time everyone is getting into summer bikini-shape and there is nothing really mom can do to make that happen.
The best piece of advice is to just embrace it. Embrace the bump and if you are comfortable just rock that bikini on the beach. It is worth it to be comfortable.
10 Are Cravings Different?
When a woman is pregnant they have a very love/hate relationship with food. They want to eat all the time, but then they are dealing with food aversions. This specific entry can cater to women who are either really early or late in their pregnancy when the summer approaches. That is because these are the two periods when it is most likely to get food aversions.
If it is a hot, summer day and mom is craving some ice cream or a good and refreshing smoothie, she may be out of luck when her body decides that it is not what it wants, and she can not stomach the thought of eating it. It is a constant battle with women who are pregnant, and something no one will understand unless they have been pregnant themselves.
9 Get Used To Your Brand New Cankles!
Cankles are not a new thing, they are an actual body part and if you don't believe me than all you have to do is ask any woman who has been pregnant in the summer. Cankles is a term used when a woman's feet and ankles are so swollen there is no clear division between body parts. This happens in the summer.
Cankles are not only a topic of contention for any pregnant woman's self esteem, they can also be quite painful. She will feel like her skin is stretching and it may be itchy and even have a very painful burning sensation. There is only so much she can do to try and fix this problem but elevating the feet and trying to rest are the best things to do.
8 Can't Do Anything Fun!
One of the best parts of summer is getting out and doing all kinds of fun things. There are days spent at the beach, there are hikes that you can go on and there is a world of adventure out there for anyone to explore. Well, that is unless you are pregnant. When you are in your third trimester there are always activities you should stay away from.
It is not safe for mom-to-be to do really anything when she is so far along. A minor slip and fall could be very dangerous. It is much easier for a pregnant woman to have an accident because her center of gravity is all thrown off and she is not as balanced as she usually is. Mom will have to take a break and just relax with a good book for this summer.
7 "Yes, I Know It's Uncomfortable"
We already know that when we are pregnant, everyone and their grandmother want to give us all their opinions and advice. This can get pretty overwhelming and frustrating, but it gets worse. When you are pregnant in the summer, and visibly so, there are always people who want to point out how uncomfortable you must be, like we didn't know.
Actually, we were not thinking about it in an effort to take our mind off how uncomfortable we are, but your comment just reminded us and now we are miserable. You also get the people who say that they can't imagine how you do it or even worse tell you about their summer pregnancy.
6 Temptations All Around
When a couple are planning on having a baby they don't always think about the things they will have to give up when they finally see those two pink lines. We know there are certain foods mom should avoid, and that she can absolutely have no alcohol, which is easy when you are not pregnant in the summer.
A lot of people (I may be biased as I am Canadian) love nothing more than an ice-cold beer on a hot summer day. This goes out the window for anyone who is with child. What makes it worse is you are constantly around people who are drinking. We don't want the world to stop just because we are pregnant, and there are no reason why other people can not drink, but it sure makes it a difficult summer to get through.
5 Why Do I Have To Wear Clothes?
The short answer to this question is of course you have to wear clothes, when you are out in public that is. If you are in the comfort of your own home, no pregnant woman should have to wear clothes when it is that hot outside. This is yet another entry about the heat and humidity that comes with summer and how pregnant women feel it a million times worse.
Mom-to-be may be surprised that she could have on the bare minimum amount of clothing and she will still be too hot, and she will still sweat. Clothing will start to irritate her skin, and she will start checking the tags because she is questioning what her clothes are made out of.
4 Shaving Is An Olympic Event
Now shaving is never mandatory, and no woman has to shave but it is probably safe to say that the majority of women do shave their legs, armpits and other areas all year long. This tends to become more important in the summer when your wardrobe may show off those body parts that would otherwise be covered. Shaving when you are very pregnant suddenly becomes an Olympic event.
I can speak from experience, just having a quick shower to shave my legs turned into a triathlon with some yoga mixed in. By the end I was exhausted, sore and I missed like a million places. It is very frustrating. A lot of women turn to their partner to help give them a hand.
3 A Late Baby Is A Whole New Ball Game
It is very common for women to go past their due date. A due date is really just an educated guess, as it is very hard to tell exactly when you ovulated, and how your baby is growing and when they are ready to evict the premises. An overdue baby is uncomfortable for anyone, but it is a whole new ball game when an overdue baby comes in the summer.
If mom is due at the end of July or beginning of August and her baby decides to go 2 weeks past their due date, she may be in trouble. All of summer is hot, but those last few weeks in August can be some of the hottest and most humid. Add the heat to an already uncomfortable and frustrated mom and it can be a nightmare.
2 Keeping Up With Older Siblings
The easy solution to the previous problem of a woman's body kind of giving up on her is to relax. To give your body the rest it needs and just lay on the couch watching TV shows all day. This is perfect, in an ideal world. The rest of us live in reality and know this is not always a possibility. A lot of women still have to work and for those who are at home, they likely have other children to watch.
Summer time means school is out, and our children want nothing more than to be outside in the warm weather enjoying the sunshine. This means we have to get ourselves up and out, ready to go to the park or the local pool and sit in the sweltering heat to make sure our children have a good time.
1 Suitable Foot Wear!
We talked a bit on how swelling is a problem with pregnancy at any time, but it is especially worse in the summer time. This means that finding footwear can be an issue. The reason this is a thing no one expects is because they think footwear is a lot easier in the summer than winter when you have to wear big, clunky boots.
The problem is, summer shoes can do the same thing. Sandals, flats and even flip flops can all give mom a problem. Along with swelling, they also don't offer a lot of support when walking so mom may be adding to her back pain. The best advice is to try and go bare foot as much as possible.

When Peggy and I moved to Center City Philadelphia nearly 20 years ago, around the block from our 1817 row house was a typical, tacky pizza shop on the corner of Fourth St. and raffish South St. Every morning when I walked the dog in the area, discarded pizza crusts and paper waste were all over the sidewalk and in the gutter. The dog was in hog heaven; I found it disgusting.
Suddenly the pizza shop was replaced by Starbucks. I was thrilled. Good coffee and terrific snacks. The enthusiastic young baristas (clerks who make coffee) are up and at 'em at 4:45 a.m. preparing for the 5:30 opening. And the place is always clean and tidy. For 16 years, Starbucks has been a great neighbor and presumably profitable.
Many years ago, Seattle direct marketing guru Bob Hacker took Peggy and me on a sightseeing tour of his city and we stopped for a requisite cuppa Joe at Starbucks' first store at the Pike's Place Market. I felt part of American corporate history.
In Madrid several years ago, I was delighted to spy the Starbucks logo just down the street where I could bring a couple of coffees back to the room well before our out-of-the-way hotel dining room opened for breakfast.
At the Starbucks down the street from our hotel in Geneva, two small coffees, two blueberry muffins and a small bottle of orange juice was a whopping US$27.50, but hey! the little muffins were loaded with juicy blueberries and it was all lots cheaper than the US$3 per person continental breakfast at the hotel.
In fact, just about anywhere in the world, Starbucks is a welcome sight.
Now suddenly Starbucks' has decided to change its logo. It is deleting the word "STARBUCKS," deleting the word "COFFEE" and being represented by a naked green cartoony mermaid with a Miss America tiara and two fish tails.
Will she become the Nike Swoosh of world-class coffee?
I don't think so.
"If it ain't broke," said Jimmy Carter's budget guy Bert Lance, "don't fix it."
Good advice.

Sweetwater suspends bond program manager
Superintendent says corruption is not widespread in district

DA on Sweetwater officials: ''They simply lied''
Compilation of U-T Watchdog stories leading up to and in the aftermath of Superintendent Jesus Gandara's ouster
Sweetwater schools Superintendent Ed Brand on Wednesday suspended all district work by Seville Group Inc., the firm tasked with managing the district's $644 million Proposition O bond program.
SGI had been awarded a $16.46 million three-year project management contract in April 2010.
Brand announced the suspension at a news conference two hours after San Diego County District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis announced she was filing 26 felony charges and eight misdemeanors against Brand's predecessor, Jesus Gandara, two current board members, a former board member and construction executive Henry Amigable.
Amigable is a former Gilbane Building Co. executive who helped manage Proposition O construction 2007 to 2008.
In an affidavit, D.A. investigators made the case that contractors, including those with SGI, wined and dined public officials to curry favor and secure work in the district.
An attorney representing SGI said the firm is not a target in the D.A.'s investigation and that SGI is cooperating fully with all investigations.
"SGI understands the District is 'suspending' the work of SGI pending an investigation," Los Angeles attorney Robert Nida wrote. "SGI will cooperate in any investigation. SGI has met its legal and contractual obligations in making financial disclosures, including by filing the appropriate disclosure papers with the California Secretary of State. SGI is confident that any investigation will demonstrate that SGI and its officials have acted ethically and in compliance with the law and its contracts."
Taking over Proposition O oversight in SGI's absence will be existing district staff and officials from the County Office of Education, Brand said, adding that the change should not result in construction delays.
SGI was awarded the program management contract in 2007 in conjunction with Gilbane Building Co. In 2010, after Amigable had left Gilbane, trustees granted SGI sole oversight of the bond.
Brand also said the district is conducting a legal analysis to determine if public funds will pay the legal bills arising from the defense of former and current board members, as well as the departed superintendent.
According to Gandara's separation agreement from June, he "shall be entitled to a defense and indemnification in any litigation arising from or relating to the scope of employment with the District as provided by his contract and the California Code."
Gandara's attorney Paul Pfingst said he is not currently being paid with public funds.
Sweetwater Union High School District board members will continue to conduct business as usual, Brand said.
"Currently all members of the board are allowed to conduct business and unless they are convicted of a crime, will be allowed to do so, and it is our intent that everyone is presumed innocent until proven otherwise," he said. "It hurts very deeply to have these allegations made, but I am confident that the district and the people affiliated with this district, are good people who want to do that right thing and that is what we are going to do."
Brand said he does not believe the issue is systemic, as the D.A. claims, saying, "I believe that if there is anything wrong with the district, it is localized and we have found nothing that would indicate it is as widespread."
Brand also moved on Wednesday to suspend all legal work performed by GCR, LLP., the district's former general counsel currently working on district negotiations. The firm, removed as the district's general counsel Aug. 31, was named repeatedly in the D.A.'s affidavit.
Trustees unanimously decided to select Brand as permanent superintendent, rather than interim but a contract has yet to be signed.
"As a result of these recent events, I didn't feel it was prudent to do that or to put the district in any kind of long-term relationship," Brand said. "I am just not comfortable moving forward. I am still a consultant, and will stay a consultant for the foreseeable future."

A Boston College graduate student is challenging the legality of a warrant that enabled police to search his dorm room and seize several of his computers, an iPod, a cell phone, and other devices, CNET reports. Riccardo Calixte, a computer science student at Boston College, is petitioning the Newton District Court in Massachusetts for the immediate return of his property and is demanding that investigators be prohibited from any further searches or analysis of his digital data. The confiscation of Calixte's property was spurred by an investigation into who sent an eMail to a school mailing list alleging that Calixte's roommate is gay. According to a complaint that Calixte filed April 10, the warrant is invalid because there was no probable cause to believe that a crime was committed. The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) is representing Calixte and filed a memorandum in support of his complaint. The EFF is arguing it is irrelevant whether or not Calixte sent the eMail, because the application for the warrant fails to establish probable cause that sending such an eMail is a criminal offense. Calixte "stands accused of fraud, though no money or thing of value is at issue," EFF said in its statement of support. "He is accused of 'hacking' merely by sending an eMail to a list server. Without a crime, there is no just cause for the search."

Guest ColumnChina and the World of TradecraftGuest Column - RSS 2.0
While China continues to be a growing market for most US-based industries - including games - the very nature of the Chinese regulatory process and perhaps the nature of the government itself, make the Asian nation an increasingly challenging place to do business, as the world's largest publisher of videogames, Activision-Blizzard, has discovered.
Activision Blizzard (Nasdaq: ATVI) recently tested China's murky world of game regulation when it announced a switch in operators for its World of Warcraft franchise from The9 (Nasdaq: NCTY) to NetEase.com (Nasdaq: NTES). Although the original license expired on June 6, 2009, due to the nascent stage of China's game regulatory environment and perennial uncertainties regarding the use of governmental discretion, no one could say for sure whether the authorities would allow Activision Blizzard to change from one operator to another.
What is clear is that Activision Blizzard cannot operate World of Warcraft in China by itself. Regulations issued by China's Ministry of Culture and the Catalogue for the Guidance of Foreign Investment Industries both prohibit foreign companies from operating online games within the country. Foreign games are also subject to content review by the Ministry of Culture and publishing approval by the General Administration of Press and Publication (GAPP). But is yet another government approval required to switch local partners?
On April 24, 2009, just eight days after Activision Blizzard and NetEase.com jointly announced the new World of Warcraft license, the Ministry of Culture declared that their approval is indeed required. One month later, GAPP declared that they too must sign off on the change.
Never mind that World of Warcraft content was approved by the Ministry of Culture four years ago and GAPP approved publication of the game in 2005, these brand new rules say that switching game operators requires yet another content review and a new publishing permit, which means another round of review and another delay in re-launching the game.
But wait, it gets worse.
Kou Xiaowei, director of the technology and digital publishing bureau at GAPP explained on January 16, 2008, that if any disputes arise between a Chinese and foreign game company, GAPP will suspend the approval process for all games from the foreign company until the disputes are settled to the satisfaction of the Chinese company. Naturally, The9 sued Activision Blizzard four times. As of July 15, 2009, three of the four cases had been dismissed by the courts of Shanghai on jurisdictional grounds and the fourth suit, for breach of contract, is likely to face similar challenges since the original license requires disputes to be resolved through arbitration in Singapore.
To further complicate matters, Activision Blizzard and NetEase.com entered into a joint venture to support the operation of World of Warcraft along with three other games and the Battle.net platform. In July, an official from GAPP stated that they are investigating this joint venture, presumably to determine if the new entity is violating China's ban on foreign-invested game operators.
Adding a further wrinkle, The9 is listed on Nasdaq, seemingly indicating it's foreign-invested and thus prohibited from operating games in China, according to regulations. Which is indeed the case.
The9, NetEase.com and seven other companies with game operations in China are actually foreign entities incorporated in places like the Cayman Islands and listed on U.S. stock exchanges. And yes, under current regulations they are not permitted to operate online games in China. So, what gives?

After all, a short sale has much less of an impact on your credit than a foreclosure. Despite all this, banks still make short sales tough.
How would you feel if you worked hard on a short sale only to watch it fall apart because you lender dragged their feet?
Discover how other sellers successfully did a short sale to avoid foreclosure by clicking here.
Later on the property sells for even less money than the short sale offer you had. I have said in earlier posts that, in my opinion, you could sue the lender for the damage caused to your credit by the foreclosure.
After all, the only reason the short sale wasn't successful was because they dragged their feet. Here is the technique you can use to strong arm the lender to accept the short sale.
Use your rights as a homeowner to get more information about the BPO. An inaccurate BPO is the number one reason short sales fail.
Getting your hands on a copy of the BPO will help your agent contest an inaccurate BPO. And it would be a big help in any future lawsuit. Here is the step by step strategy:
1. Request a complete itemized payoff from the foreclosing lawyer. In addition, request a copy from the lender themselves. You do this by faxing them a request. Usually you will get an answer in 7-10 business days.
2. Review the payoff to see where the BPO is itemized. If a BPO has ever been ordered, it will most likely by itemized on there. If not, it may be included in some other payoff cost. Get confirmation of that in writing from the lender.
3. Since the BPO is added onto the amount owed by the homeowner, they have a right to a copy under the Equal Credit Opportunity Act. Fax the lender's legal department a request for a copy of the BPO.
Send a copy of the payoff and circle the spot where you think the BPO payment is. Request a copy for the borrower under the Equal Credit Opportunity Act. In addition, also mail the lender's legal department the same request.
If the lender does not comply, then you can file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission at www.ftc.gov, The Office of Thrift Supervision at www.ots.treas.gov, the FDIC at www.FDIC.gov, and the Comptroller of the Currency at www.helpwithmybank.gov.
Indicate on your correspondence with the lender that if they do not comply, then you will be filing complaints with those agencies. Thinking about a short sale?
I can help you short sale your property and never pay the bank another penny. Send me an e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com. I will contact you for a free consultation.
When we talk, I will explain how the process works in detail and answer any questions you may have. Or, if you prefer, you can call me at 805-208-0823

Park ranger shooting details to remain sealed indefinitely
Fri., Jan. 24, 2014
Investigative details in a September shooting by National Park Service rangers trying to break up a noisy houseboat party at a remote campground near Kettle Falls will remain sealed indefinitely by a federal court order.
The federal agency has remained mum about which of its employees fired during a confrontation with Michael Sublie, who now faces two federal misdemeanor charges. A bullet struck fellow partygoer Casey Hartinger, who was hospitalized and released.
In the run-up to his trial next month, Sublie will only be able to view "investigative reports" in the presence of his lawyer and will be unable to share copies with anyone.
Witnesses say two National Park Service rangers attempted to board Sublie's boat shortly after 10 p.m. on Sept. 14 because of loud noise. The Kettle River Campground, near the border of Ferry and Stevens counties, mandates quiet hours from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m.
During the confrontation, one of the park rangers fired his gun and wounded Hartinger, a friend of Sublie who was present on the boat with his young son. Witnesses said if the bullet hadn't struck Hartinger in the ribs, it would have hit his son in the head.
The Investigative Branch of the National Park Service has been investigating the incident and has not named the rangers involved. Residents in the area say the two were Josh Wentz and Matt Phillipson. The rangers who were involved have only been identified by initials in official court documents.
A court order signed by U.S. Magistrate Judge John Rodgers, agreed to by both parties, prohibits Sublie and his attorney, Roger Peven, from sharing with anyone documents provided by the U.S. Attorney's Office. The order effectively seals all findings by investigators looking into the shooting without a future court order or release by the Attorney's Office.
According to the order, federal, state and local agencies have been involved in the investigation, including the U.S. Department of the Interior, the Washington State Patrol and the Kettle Falls Police Department.
Gregg Leslie, legal defense director with the Arlington, Va.,-based Reporters Committee for the Free Press, said any attempt to seal documents in a criminal trial should be supported by a profound interest to protect the right to a fair trial. In Sublie's case, if the shooting is likely to be talked about in open court, related investigative documents should be available, Leslie said.
"In many criminal cases, there are always attempts to keep things secret," said Leslie, a Georgetown University graduate who served as chair of the Washington, D.C., Bar Association's Media Law Committee. "But the public has a right to know about them."
Disclosure issues may be compounded in cases when federal agencies, which are somewhat insulated from state and local demands, are asked to turn over information, Leslie said.
A spokeswoman for the National Park Service again declined Thursday to name the rangers involved in the shooting. She directed questions about pending litigation to the U.S. Attorney's Office and provided no timetable for when investigative reports might be released.
The U.S. Attorney's Office declined comment and attempts to reach Peven were unsuccessful Thursday. Court documents indicated some interest by prosecutors in seeking charges against Hartinger, the man who was shot, but none has been filed.

Mobius Monday Minute
# 11 – Jan 17 , 2011
Sometimes we work away at things and it doesn't seem like we're getting anywhere. The timeline from start to finish, if there is ever a 'finish", can sometimes be a long one.
It's easy to choose not to make it better and fall into discouragement. It's easy to quit when it appears that reaching the goal is still far away around a corner or over yet another mountain.
But artists, and we're all artists in our own right, have always struggled for newness even if that newness was just getting to the next day.
I'm not here to tell you to never quit – your mother told you that. I'm here to ask you a question: Can you continue to keep up the struggle through the timeline for another day another month another year in order to find out what your true calling is?
If you can, I can guarantee you, it will result in you making it way way better.
For yourself and for the world around you.
More power to you.

Also, during check-in, "Hye Bingo" cards were given out. The aim of the bingo player was to find people who had the characteristics detailed in the bingo boxes and get those people to sign off on the box. This was a great ice-breaker that encouraged guests to mingle and socialize.
The second in a series of panel talks featuring spouses of Armenians was held Sunday November 3 at Keljik's Oriental Rug store in South Minneapolis. A great venue for an interesting afternoon. 24 people were in attenjdence to hear Donna Azarian and Leroy Erickson talk about their experiences with their Armenian Spouses.

Yolun Başinda/Beginnings
(Dir. Somnur Vardar, 2013, 86 mins, in Armenian/English/Turkish)
Beginnings follows a group of youths from Armenia and Turkey who meet in two cities on either side of the divide to reconcile the past, present and future of their perpetual conflict stemming from the Armenian genocide. First in Mush, then in Gyumri, their explorations of conflicting memories open up an intense dialogue about the nature of preserving history as a means of evaluating modernity and educating people to learn from historical error. While close relationships develop, these youth must question notions of friendship and trust within a quest to face issues of memory, history, genocide, denial and the demand for the truth.

Today, an 86 year old man completed my diving certification course in Key West, FL. He said he wants his certification so he can dive at the Great Barrier Reef when he visits Australia in 2 weeks. "That sounds like fun. Are you a world traveler?" I asked. He laughed. "I was when I was your age. Actually, I was cleaning out an old filing cabinet yesterday. In it I found a list I made when I was 22 titled, '10 Things I Will Do Before I Die.' Diving at the Great Barrier Reef is #10 on the list, and it's the only one I haven't completed."
Have a grand weekend, friends!

If you're looking for someone totally different to play as your player character in the first Knights of the Old Republic, you may want to see what this mod has to offer to give you that "different" feel you crave. Let's face it, this game is nearly six-years-old and the only thing that gives anybody motivation to play it again is to experience something different.
Anyway, Rtas_Vadum gives something that he created out of his imagination with a little inspiration Anime Bleach. I was trying to figure out what species the author tried to create when I was going over the mod contents and screenshots and to my surprise that it isn't something that was created in the Expanded Universe. Well, I'm not familiar with Anime Bleach where some of the inspiration came from so if you are maybe you will see where it came from.
This mod does have the appearance.2da, heads.2da, and portraits.2da files in the download. The author acknowledges that he knows it could give you some trouble if you don't know how to .2da edit, so no need to get into it. It will however turn some people away from downloading it.
There is some hope for you if you really like the mod and I can tell you something you are capable of doing if modding isn't one of them. You can tell this is based off of the fifth female Caucasian head selection so you could just rename the texture files to PFHC05.tga, PFHC05d1.tga, PFHC05d2.tga, PFHC05d3.tga, PFHC05d.tga, and the portrait files to po_PFHC5.tga, po_PFHC5d1.tga, po_PFHC5d2.tga, po_PFHC5d3.tga, po_PFHC5d.tga! If you're not going to use that head selection anyway, why not just replace the files if you like this mod and don't know anything about modding. Enjoy the mod! :D
Note: Please leave the author feedback, especially if you download this mod and use it. It really helps encourage the author to make more mods in the future.
STAR WARS: KNIGHTS OF THE OLD REPUBLIC --------------------------------------------------------- Index: I.What is this? II.Why? III.How did you come up with the look? VI.How do i use this? V. Uh, no offense, but should i not want this mod anymore, how to i remove it? IV.Credits ---------------------------------------------------------- I. What is this? This a mod that adds a new character head to the game. While it may be a reskin of one of the default heads, it does have some severe changes. Such as it has its own custom underwear skins, as well as using juhani's default clothing as the PC default clothing, but only for this head. ----------------------------------------------------------- II. Why? The purpose is to give people, (myself included), a different look to the game, which having a new head to play with, does make the game different. ------------------------------------------------------------ III.How did you come up with the look? Well, it started with my liking of the head design and texture. But as it is, i wanted it to be mostly unlike any other head additions i've seen. The most noticable feature of this would be the shiny eyes, which the area behind the eyes turn completely black. That would be inpired from the anime Bleach, in which the main character, Ichigo, sometimes is "possessed" with a kind of spirit, that turns his eyes orange, and the eyeballs black. The shine is also on the lips. The skin is also different than most of the default ds transitions. Rather than the veins, the skin lightens with each ds trasition, and settles at a gray-ish color. -------------------------------------------------------------- IV. How do i use it? Since this mod uses 2da files, those being "Heads", "Portraits", and "Appearance". Should you have any of those in your override folder already, to use this you must know how to edit 2da files to use this. But to avoid problems, add this mod to your override first. It would be compataible with any mods that use the TSLpatcher, provided that you already have this mod in your override. --------------------------------------------------------------- VI. Uh, no offense, but should i not want this mod anymore, how to i remove it? Just delete the files contained within this rar archive from your override. ---------------------------------------------------------------- VII.Credits Fred Tera - For the KT program Any of those who offered me even a slight bit of help with this, many thanks to you.
There are no comments yet. Be the first!

BEIJING (BLOOMBERG) - China's trade surplus with the US hit a record in November, even as overall export growth slowed amid waning global demand and uncertainty about a constructive resolution to the trade war.
The trade surplus with the US was almost US$35.6 billion (S$48.7 billion), driven by a 9.8 per cent rise in exports compared with the same period last year and a 25 per cent decline in imports.
Shipments to the whole world in dollar terms rose 5.4 per cent in November, the customs administration said on Saturday (Dec 8), missing estimates.
Imports grew 3 per cent, widening China's trade surplus to US$44.7 billion from US$34 billion. That was the highest this year.
"The weaker-than-expected trade growth is due to a high base, lower oil prices and the fading of front-loading ahead of tariff hikes," said Larry Hu, a Hong Kong-based economist at Macquarie Securities, referring to exporters shipping goods faster to get them into the US ahead of possible tariff hikes.
"Slower exports and property investment will lead to a further slowdown in China's economy," Hu said after the data was released. "Export growth will decline significantly to low single-digits next year as front-loading ends."
That front-loading may still have been happening in November as the US tariff hike threatened for Jan 1, 2019, was still on the table before Presidents Donald Trump and Xi Jinping met during the Group of 20 summit.
The tariff hike, which has helped spur export growth since August, was postponed after the high-stakes meeting last week, where both sides agreed to work towards a substantive agreement within 90 days.
"The truce may buy time for manufacturers to lengthen the inventory cycle, but it is unlikely to boost the capex outlook meaningfully, unless uncertainty is eliminated completely," Angela Hsieh, EM Asia economist at Barclays Bank PLC, wrote in a note dated Dec 4.
"Major economies excluding the US have all shown slowing growth momentum, dragging on overall global demand. Meanwhile imports remain weak on sluggish domestic demand," said Xia Le, Hong Kong-based chief Asia economist at Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria.
The official factory gauge and other early indicators have pointed to slowing domestic growth. Government support measures have yet to boost business sentiment and offset the effects of waning domestic and global demand.
US-China relations are expected to remain contentious as both countries are too strong to capitulate in negotiations but too interlinked to decouple, according to Moody's managing director Atsi Sheth.

LEWIS HAMILTON GRITTED it out to win a tension-packed, but ultimately processional Monaco Grand Prix. The win — his third in the Principality and 77th of his Formula One career — was an emotional victory at the end of the week in which Mercedes-AMG Petronas Motorsport chairman Niki Lauda died. (Related: Niki Lauda 1949-2019)
Hamilton, who started from pole position — the 85th of his F1 career, 59th with Mercedes and second at Monaco — after a brilliant final run in qualifying on Saturday, led all 78 laps of the race.
But the five-times world champ was forced to resist more than 60 laps of pressure from the Red Bull of Max Verstappen after Mercedes opted to fit medium compound Pirellis to Hamilton's car when he made his first and only stop on lap 18.
Behind him, Verstappen, Mercedes team-mate Valtteri Bottas and Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel all opted to fit the harder, more endurable compound.
But before the pitstop — which also saw Verstappen make contact with the Mercedes of Bottas after the Red Bull was unsafely released into the path of the Finn, who had been lying second in the race — there was drama at the first corner of the opening lap.
Hamilton led away from the lights, but as the cars speared towards the right-hander at Ste Devote, Verstappen appeared to have the edge on the inside of Bottas as they entered the corner. The Finn though outmuscled the Dutchman who settled into a comfortable third place, with Vettel fourth.
The leading four quickly established a gap ahead of the fifth-placed Renault of Daniel Ricciardo; the Aussie quickly causing a tailback as his pace was two-seconds a lap off the four leaders.
The crucial incident of the race was triggered when Charles Leclerc, who started 15th following Ferrari's qualifying blunder, hit the inside wall at Rascasse and half-spun after trying to pass Nico Hulkenberg for 11th. The contact punctured his rear right tyre and, as he sped back to the pits, Leclerc scattered a large amount of debris as the rubber fell apart. Immediately, the safety car was deployed.
Under the caution, Mercedes decided to pit both cars, with Bottas dropping back behind Hamilton to create enough of a gap to avoid losing time. Buy while the world championship leader pitted and exited smoothly, Bottas' race was wrecked following the contact with Verstappen.
The incident damaged Bottas' wheel rim, causing a slow puncture. Forced to immediately pit again, thanks to the safety car still being deployed, Bottas only dropped behind Vettel to fourth. Stewards eventually handed Verstappen a five-second penalty for the unsafe release.
As soon as the race went live, the Dutchman — now elevated to second behind Hamilton — hounded the Mercedes driver. However, he could never get close enough to really start attacking the world champion until the final 10 laps.
And it wasn't until lap 76 of the 78 that the Red Bull driver lunged down the inside of Hamilton into the chicane; instinctively Hamilton eased across to take the racing line, making wheel-to-wheel contact with the Red Bull. Hamilton took to the escape road, but both continued without damage.
Hamilton's win — his fourth of the season's opening six grands prix — saw him extend his advantage over second-placed Bottas to 17 points as F1 heads to Montreal in a fortnight.
"Today was one of the hardest races of my career," Hamilton admitted. "It was so intense. With 20 laps left I thought there was no way I was going to make it to the end. I thought I was going to crash, I was battling so much with the car.
"There was absolutely nothing left in the tyres and it was so tough to keep the car on the track. I thought to myself, 'what would Niki do'. I was trying my hardest, giving everything I had. I just tried to stay focused and make no mistakes.
"I know he was watching me today, but with Niki by my side we managed to do it. I wore his helmet colours today and I didn't want to let him down. He was close to my heart, I really wanted to deliver for him this weekend and I was determined not to crack under the pressure. Today belongs to Niki."
And Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff admitted afterwards the team had gone down the wrong route by fitting medium compound tyres to Hamilton's car.
"That result means a lot. It was a World Champions' drive for a World Champion that isn't among us anymore. It couldn't have been a more dramatic race, so I am relieved it is over," Wolff said. Lewis did an incredible job out there, it was a really hard-fought race with Max.
"We know the tyre choice, in hindsight, was wrong with Lewis and we should've taken the Hard tyre at his stop. But, these things happen and at the time we thought the Medium was the right call. It was the driver who made the difference and managed the race.
"Valtteri had a tougher time, losing ground with the pit stops and the clash with Verstappen in the pit lane, but he did a great job and will be determined to fight back. This one was a really hard-fought victory and now we have a couple of days that are going to be difficult with Niki's funeral in Vienna before we set sail for Canada."
While Verstappen's five-second penalty saw him relegated to fourth behind Vettel and Bottas, his Red Bull team-mate Pierre Gasly finished in fifth, his best result since his move to the senior team. The young Frenchman also picked up the fastest lap after stopping late-on to take fresh soft tyres.
Behind him, Carlos Saiz collected his best-ever F1 fish when he brought his McLaren home in sixth; the Spaniard benefitting from opting not to pit under the early safety car. It was a strategy replicated by Daniil Kvyat and Alex Albon. The Toro Rosso duo came home in seventh and eighth respectively.
The top 10 was completed by the Renault of Ricciardo, who paid the price for pitting early under the safety car, and the Haas of Romain Grosjean. The Frenchman opted for the same strategy as Sainz/Kvyat/Albon.

Everyone Clap for This Pilot Landing a Plane Sideways in Storm Winds
Planes are scary. No matter how many stats you hear about the danger of cars in comparison, there's something about sitting in a metal box that's propelled through the sky by pure gumption (and, uh, science?) that makes you feel a little uneasy.
That unrest isn't helped when your plane is coming at the runway sideways, like in the video above. But you can feel comforted knowing that, in this clip at least, the pilot absolutely nails the landing in a TUI Boeing 757-200 at the Bristol Airport in the UK. CNN reports that this smooth operator's name is Captain Brenda Riepsaame Wassink, and the descent took place last week in the midst of Storm Callum, which made for less than ideal flying conditions.
This technique is apparently called crabbing, but you might know it by its more colloquial name, holy shit, how did you do that. The idea is to angle the plane's nose into the wind until just before touching down, then turn at the last second. Pilots learn the technique pretty early on in their training, but the higher the wind speed, the more difficult it is. The crosswinds on this day were up to 40 knots, according to New China TV, so it's safe to assume it wasn't easy. You can even see the plane's wings flexing up and down as the wind hits them.
It's unclear at this time whether the pilot said skrrt aloud when she landed, but we can only hope so.

Tax season can be stressful for every small business owner. For the business owners who handles his or her own filings, it can be particularly burdensome. Here are some tips that can ease the pain:
- New Business - If it is a new business, owners can write off all expenses that took place before the business officially opened for operation. The IRS defines 'startup costs' as deductible capital expenses that are used to pay for expenses that can include investigating the creation or acquisition of an active business. They can also include the costs related to examining a new market, analyzing production, and costs visiting prospective sites. Be sure to check with your tax advisor if you have questions.
- Small Expenses - Even small purchases relatable to the business such as educational classes, cash purchases, and subscriptions can add up, ending up in high costs. Make sure these purchases are all tracked and noted and ask your tax advisor about which are deductible.
- Compliance - Stay on top of your other tax obligations including property, sales tax and employment taxes. In addition, keep your personal expenses separate from your business expenses. The most difficult tax compliance takes place in the payroll sector so make sure all are done cautiously and on time!
Meticulous reporting and documenting will help make tax season a simple, seamless process. Understand which forms to fill out and be sure to submit on time!

Scientists in Europe have just cured a plant disease Esca (fungi that destroy grapevines) for the first time ever. A May 22, 2019 news item on Nanowerk announces the research success,
Plant diseases, though a normal part of nature, can have disastrous effects in agriculture. They reduce food for people and revenues in rural areas. In the worst cases they result in hunger and starvation, as many famines in history show. About 16% of all crops are lost to plant diseases each year across the world.
The Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research in Mainz has just delivered a double novelty to the scientific world: nanocarriers made of "waste", which release drugs in a way that cured a plant disease for the first time.
Nanocarriers are very tiny degradable capsules that have been studied for medical applications in the last 30 years. These nanocapsules are considered the "magic bullet" to cure human cancer, because they discharge the drug directly to the targeted cells.
A May 20, 2019 BIOrescue project press release, which originated the news item, delves further into the research,
Treating plant diseases that have never been cured before
Thanks to the European research funds of the BIOrescue project, the researchers at the Max Plank Institute investigated the possibility to transpose the same principle to cure plant diseases. They have been testing these nanocapsules to treat ESCA, a fungi disease that affects 2 billion grapevine plants across the world for which there has not been a cure so far.
Dr Frederik Wurm, who is leading this research at Max Planck said "After two years of testing in our labs and then on Riesling vineyards in Germany, it looks like we have managed to reduce the symptoms of the disease. Further tests will confirm if this cure is a solution in the long term. If the effects are confirmed the same method can be extended potentially to any other disease in agriculture".
"Circular" nanocarriers made of waste
The second novelty of these nanoscopic capsules is that they can be made of waste material – in this case used mushrooms compost.
"Normally nanocarriers are made of polymers based on fossil fuels. In the past, we have developed biobased nanocarriers made of lignin coming from the paper and pulp industry. But this is the very first time we try to develop them from agricultural residues, which makes them a truly "circular" product, from used plant fertiliser to plant cure. Nothing is going to be wasted!" said Wurm.
To obtain these tiny biodegradable capsules, the Max Planck researchers carried out a chemical conversion to transform the soluble lignin obtained after the pretreatment of used mushroom compost.
Afterwards the nanocarriers have been loaded with the drug that is usually sprayed on the plant with very limited effects. Thanks to the natural enzymatic degradation of the nanocarriers, the drug is released inside the plant in a controlled and progressive way. With this effective method the drug only targets the fungi, which destroy the plant from inside. Tests demonstrated that these nanocarriers are not toxic for the plants and do not reach the crop.
"Beyond the agricultural sector, the capsules have a myriad of other potential applications from food enhancement to pharmaceutical products. It's only a matter of time until we find biobased nanocarriers available on the market for any of these uses" said Wurm.
You can find out more about the BIOrescue project here, including interesting facts such as this,
To satisfy consumer demand for mushrooms, European farmers use over three million tonnes of compost each year. Though the compost contains valuable organic components, it is only suitable for one to three mushroom harvests, and disposing of it creates significant economic and logistical problems for Europe's farmers.
Apparently, this is is a 'circular economy' project. 'Circular economy' being one of the latest buzz terms. Let's hope it graduates to something 'beyond buzz', as it were.

Virginia M. 'Ginny' Kangas
Virginia M. 'Ginny' Kangas, 85, of Harwich passed away peacefully in her sleep after a brief illness on November 12, 2018. The funeral service will be held on Friday, November 16th at 10 a.m. at Holy Trinity Church, 246 Main Street Harwich. Visitation will be at Doane Beal & Ames, 260 Main Street Harwich on Thursday, November 15th from 4-6 pm.
Virginia Kangas was born in Boston on August 31, 1933. She graduated from Girls Latin School in Boston and received her BS degree in Math from UMass Amherst. Upon graduation, she became one of the first women to work for IBM. She married Walter Kangas and became an officer's wife and mother of four. When her children were older, she went back to school to get her teaching degree and taught middle school math for ten years before moving to Cape Cod. After moving to the Cape, she became a realtor, a career she proudly maintained until this past summer.
Ginny is survived by her children, Matthew and Karen Kangas of Virginia, Mark and Karen Kangas of Brewster, Jennifer Kangas of Harwich and Michael Kangas of New York; her grandchildren, the lights of her life: Sara Kangas Schutt and Kevin Schutt, Zachary Kangas, Marsha Kangas, Monica Kangas and Billy Kangas; her dear cousins Martha, Patricia and Gayle; and her beloved dog Abbey.
Ginny was more than diplomas and titles. She was a high achiever, a dreamer and hard worker. In 7th grade she represented Massachusetts at the National Convention for Junior Achievement. She majored in math because women were not allowed to become engineers. She loved working at Chatham Bars Inn during her college summers and made Cape Cod her retirement destination.
Ginny approached every aspect of her life with vigor. When she became a mother, she learned how to sew suits and costumes for her children. She baked and decorated cakes for themed birthdays, and later used those skills to make doll cakes for her grandchildren. She was a den mother, church choral director and strong supporter of all her children's athletic and musical endeavors. She was President of the Officer's Wives club and became "Officer's Wife of the Year" in 1968.
As her children became adults she pursued two more careers: teaching and real estate. She loved her middle school students, especially those who needed a little extra help. Her favorite part of being a realtor was finding a young couple their first home.
Ginny was loving, energetic and generous. Family first, but she was extremely community oriented. She was passionate about the Rotary Club and the Chatham A's. She started hosting players in 1991 and was a board member for over 25 years, including a stint as President. She attended Rotary meetings every Wednesday and had a strong sense of responsibility for raising funds for Student of the Month and scholarships.
As an Air Force wife she travelled the world with her young family. As a retiree she traveled the world with her daughter: She has been to every continent and ocean: Antarctica, Australia, Africa – the Arctic and the Baltic – she has climbed under the pyramids in Egypt and atop the Acropolis in Athens. She walked the Stations of the Cross in Jerusalem and played with penguins at the Falkland Islands. She made numerous trips to Disney with her grandchildren.
But her favorite place was Cape Cod. This summer she boated on Pleasant Bay and watched her Chatham A's make it to the Cape League Championship. She went to concerts and plays and had brunch with many neighbors and friends. On October 27th she happily danced at her granddaughter's wedding surrounded by all her family, none of us the wiser of the coming sadness. She was loving and beloved and will be missed by so many.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be given to The Rotary Club of Chatham Foundation, P.O Box 436, Chatham, MA 02633.

Aboriginal Sport Heroes Essay, Research Paper
Despite their small numbers, Aborigines have produced some of Australia s most famous sporting champions. Names such as Catherine Freeman, Evonne Goolagong-Cawley, Lionel Rose, Arthur Beetson and the Ella brothers have become legends.
Whether it be in league, hockey, tennis or even squash there have been great contributions made by the either Aborigines or Torres Strait Islanders. And it s not only their successes that make their contributions to sport significant, but also how they were able to make those successes under the conditions and opportunities that were available to them. For every Aborigine who makes it to the top, there are thousands who could have made it but never had the opportunity. Many Aborigines have had to compete on uneven playing fields without a sporting chance, having to overcome the hurdles of racism and poverty.
The first mention of an Aboriginal sportsman was in 1835 when Shinney played cricket in Hobart Town. Upon his death, he was beheaded and his head was sent to an Irish museum for preservation. However, recent agitation by Tasmanian Aborigines resulted in his remains being returned and being cremated ceremonially in 1992.
Sport flourished when there was relative freedom from legislative control, however so did genocide. Aborigines began to need protection from the murderous impulses from the settlers. Although today Aborigines don t need to worry about genocide, many still are subject to course racism and on-field sledging.
As time went on, Aborigines discovered their prowess in sport, particularly in boxing, football and running. It gave them a passport to the white man s world, giving them respect and friendship.
Cathy Freeman is probably the most distinguished Aboriginal sports person of all time. At the age of sixteen, she won the gold medal at the Commonwealth Games as part of the 4×100m relay team. In 1992 she became the first Aboriginal track and field athlete to represent Australia at an Olympic Games. In 1994 she won double gold in the 200m and 400m events at the Commonwealth Games. In 1996 she became the first Australian woman to run the 400m under 50sec, and then at the Atlanta Olympics she became the sixth fastest woman to ever run the 400m. She then went on to win back-to-back world championships in 1997 and 1999. However she is not just a fast runner. In 1990 she was awarded the Young Australian of the Year and then in 1998 she was awarded the Australian of the Year becoming the first person to receive both awards. She has become an idol for many Aborigines, showing them what determination can achieve and giving them hope.
Along with Cathy Freeman, Evonne Goolagong-Cawley has become one of Australia s most successful sportswomen and Aboriginal sports person. Starting off with no shoes, equipment or training, Evonne found it very difficult to get into tennis. However after much persistence, she was finally noticed and went on with much success. Her records include seventeen state titles, four Australian singles championships, the French Open, the Italian Open, the South African Open and two -times Wimbledon singles titles.
Rugby Union has seen three of their finest players come from the one family. Garry, Glenn and Mark Ella were of Aboriginal descent. All three brothers played for the Australian Schoolboy s Team in 1977-78, which was known to be the greatest school side to have ever existed. They also played for the Randwick Club in which they were key members of several premierships. Mark Ella is still noted as being the most celebrated Australian rugby player in history, being the only Australian to be inducted into the International Rugby Hall of Fame. He played twenty-three games for NSW and a further twenty-six for Australia, captaining his last nine. In 1983 he was awarded the Young Australian of the Year to reward his dedication and determination that he invested in his sport. Other Indigenous rugby union players include such people as Andrew Walker, Lloyd McDermott, William Gordon and a more recent Wallaby, Jim Williams.
Rugby League has been perhaps the most successful sport for many Aboriginal and Torres Straight sportsmen. Mal Meninga is probably the most well known Australian Indigenous Rugby League player. In a long career, he played a total of forty-one games for Queensland, five-five tests for Australia (twenty-three as captain), is the only man to have been selected on four kangaroo tours and holds the record for most points in all Tests and State of Origin matches. He played a total of 465 games of which 166 were with Canberra, including four Grand Finals. In 1991 he was awarded Captain of the Year, and is now currently the coach of the Canberra Raiders.
Other prominent Indigenous sportsmen involved in league at one stage or another include Arthur Beetson, Cliff Lyons, Andrew Walker, Anthony Mundine, David Peachey, Wendel Sailor and Nathan Blacklock. Many of these players have also been involved in indigenous rugby campaigns, travelling around different areas holding camps. In these camps, these players have told their stories of how they got to where they are, encourage the youth to play sport and remind them to be proud of who they are.
Boxing is another sport that Aboriginal men have been talented in. Three of the most famous indigenous boxers were Lionel Rose, Jerry Jerome and Tony Mundine.
Jerry Jerome won the Australian middleweight title in 1912, which gave him the honour of being the first Aborigine to win a national boxing title. He had a total of sixty-four fights in which he won five, lost twenty-three and had one no decision.
Lionel Rose gave Aborigines possibly their biggest morale boost ever. In 1968, he became the first Aboriginal batamweight world-boxing champion. As quoted in the book Black Diamonds, From the Todd River in Alice to Redfern in Sydney he represented a hope that their own futures might rise beyond futility . In fifty-three fights he won forty-two and lost eleven. So much was the importance of his contribution to sport, an important film was based around him, called Rose Against the Odds.
Tony Mundine is also a famous boxer. He is the only Australian titleholder in four weight divisions. Like his son, he came to Sydney in search of a rugby league career, but boxing it was to be. Soon after, he became the Australian middleweight champion, Australian Heavyweight Titleholder, Commonwealth middleweight champion, Australian light heavyweight champion, Commonwealth light heavyweight titleholder, winner of the Australasian light heavyweight title and the Australian cruiserweight champion. Of his ninety-six fights, Tony won eighty, drew one and lost fifteen. After he retired, he opened his own gym and now trains young Aboriginal men, including his son Anthony.
There are many more Indigenous people who have contributed greatly to Australian sport. Nova Peres-Kneebone was Australia s first Aboriginal Olympic Gold Medallist with the Hockeyroos, Michael AhMatt was a dual Basketball Olympian, Steve Bowditch was a globetrotting World Champion, Neil Winmar was a great AFL player; the list could go on. However, they all experienced one thing; great difficulties in getting to the levels that they did. From the very beginning, Aboriginal sportsmen and women found it very difficult to participate. At one stage or another, they experienced exclusion from competitions, discrimination within them, and in many cases, gross inequality of chances, choices and facilities. Most Aboriginal people lack what most of their competitors have: money, equipment, physiotherapists, coaches and sporting facilities. As late as in 1989, in NSW there were only four reserves set aside with adequate facilities for indigenous sports people, five in Qld and two in all the other states. This often made it virtually impossible for any of the indigenous athletes to survive. It is due to these difficulties that these athletes achievements are so significant.
Racism has been a major issue in sport also. There have been many debates whether racial sledging is acceptable on the field. Many argue that it is a part of the game, whilst other sportsmen have stated that it is morally wrong and disturbing. Anthony Mundine became well-known for his outcry at racial sledging, often getting the media involved in on-field disputes. However other Aboriginal footballers such as David Peachey and Andrew Walker have made statements saying that its part of the game.
Although conditions are much better for indigenous people today, they are still more disadvantaged compared to other Australians. However, there are now growing institutions to counteract this problem. Such organizations include a Task Force which was established late in1991, which investigated and made recommendations for the advancement of Aboriginal Sport. Talent Identification clinics are conducted throughout South Australia for Aboriginal athletes under eighteen years of age. Many scholarship programs have also been developed which provide access to financial assistance for competition, coaching, training and equipment. The Indigenous Sport Program (ISP) has also been established as a national strategy aimed at improving the participation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders in sport and recreation. It focuses on assistance to the development of indigenous athletes, coaches, sports administrators and trainers. As mentioned before, prominent Indigenous sports people are also getting out into the community and visiting the local youth. There have also been sporting development programs made in memory of sporting heroes, which help towards the development of Aboriginal sport. An example of this is the Lloyd McDermott Aboriginal Rugby Academy .
Overall, there have been many contributions made to sport by Indigenous people in Australia. Without these contributions, Australia may not be so well regarded as a sporting nation. Also, this contribution has led to a greater acceptance of Indigenous people to other white Australians providing a common link. However, there is still more to be done to assist the Aboriginal youth in their sporting conquests. After all, the youth are the future of this country, whether they are Indigenous or not.
