'Lucky' punter who scooped £650,000 betting online sues British-based gaming site which refused to pay out because of bug in its software
- Bruno Venturi, 41, won £650,000 off £18 stake in just three hours
- Surrey-based site insists a software bug meant chance had nothing to do with the Italian's winnings
- High Court judge said case reminded him of the 1935 film, 'The Man who Broke the Bank at Monte Carlo'
Lost fight: Bruno Venturi was told today he cannot claim his £650,000 online gambling winnings because he had not paid for all his bets
A gambler dubbed 'The Man Who Couldn't Lose' after winning £650,000 in just three hours of online gaming is facing a High Court bid to strip him of his jackpot.
Bruno Venturi, 41, was left 'euphoric' after turning the €20 in his account into a whopping €707,000 - then worth roughly £650,000 - whilst playing Eurobet.com's 'Sixty Seconds' game in 2009.
But Surrey-based Eurobet UK Ltd, which operated the website, insists a software bug meant chance had nothing to do with it.
As he was mistakenly charged for only one in six of his bets, his winnings are null and void, the company claims.
Eurobet refused to pay up, sparking a legal battle - which Judge Simon Brown QC said reminded him of the 1935 film, 'The Man who Broke the Bank at Monte Carlo'.
The film, inspired by a British music hall song based on the story of Charles Deville Wells, is a romantic comedy which tells the story of a former Russian aristocrat who wins 10million francs playing baccarat at a casino.
The casino sends a beautiful woman to lure him back to the gambing tables and he is eventually left penniless.
Pet shop worker, Mr Venturi - who had won only meager sums in his previous two years using the website - says he logged on from his home in Naples, Italy, on January 28, 2009, completely unaware of what was about to unfold.
The company claims an error caused by a software upgrade meant Mr Venturi was charged for only one in six of the 6,670 wagers he placed, dramatically increasing his chances of winning the lottery-style game, which has since been removed from the internet.
Patrick Lawrence QC, for Eurobet, said the bug meant it was 'mathematically inevitable' that Mr Venturi would keep hitting the jackpot.
The court heard the Italian started playing at 8.18pm, placing his usual 20 cent bet, but began increasing the stakes as his apparent luck continued.
He had won 5,000 Euros by 9pm, and racked up winnings of 200,000 Euros by 10.10pm, as he frantically placed as many multiple wagers as the website would allow.
Speaking through an interpreter, Mr Venturi told the court: 'I had always lost previously...but when I started to win I had a very good feeling. I'm a player and my instincts told me to keep betting.'
Mr Venturi played the 60 Seconds game for three-and-a-half hours and was amazed that he kept winning - but the court heard his 'wins' were inevitable
Comparison: High Court judge Simon Brown QC said case reminded him of the 1935 film The Man who Broke the Bank at Monte Carlo, starring Ronald Colman
The 'original' man who broke the bank at Monte Carlo was Charles Deville Wells (1841–1922).
His exploits were celebrated in the popular British music hall song of the same name, written in 1892 by Fred Gilbert.
French, if a gambler wins more chips than are available at a table,
they are said to have 'faire sauter la banque', which literally means to
'blow up the bank' but is usually translated as 'breaking the bank'.
On the event all the chips were won a black shroud was placed over the table until replacement chips were brought in.
July 1891 Wells went to Monte Carlo with £4,000 that he had defrauded
from investors with his bogus invention of a 'musical jump rope'.
In an eleven-hour session Wells won a million francs as he 'broke the bank' twelve times.
At one stage he won 23 times out of 30 successive spins of the roulette wheel. Wells returned to Monte Carlo in November of that year and won again.
During this session
he made another million francs in three days, including successful bets
on the roulette coming up on the number five for five consecutive turns.
Wells used a risky 'martingale system', where the gambler doubles his bet after every loss, so a win recovers all previous losses plus win a profit equal to the original stake, and he admitted his success was just a lucky streak.
The song helped Wells to become a celebrity. But he died penniless after losing all his money on failed inventions, having also defrauded his investors.
Mr Lawrence challenged him, saying he must have realised that something was wrong, but Mr Venturi insisted: 'How could I realise there was an error?
'There was no message, I was just drawing, I didn't have a clue....I thought I was very lucky.'
Italian, who disputes that any error took place, stopped playing
shortly before midnight, having amassed a colossal 707,665 euros in 217
heady minutes.
When asked why he called it a day, Mr Venturi replied: 'I realised the amount that I was winning and I realised that I had to stop. I had been lucky enough...I am only human. I was taken by the emotions and there was a lot of euphoria.'
He added: 'I've never had so much money...It's a very big win; it's not something that happens every day.'
Mr Venturi, who offered to come to England to pick up his winnings in cash, said an operator told him 'this is incredible, but it does happen' as he transferred some of his winnings to a different online account.
The company, based in Woking, is refusing to pay Mr Venturi, saying the bets breached the website's terms and conditions, and his winnings amounted to 'unjust enrichment'.
Refuting those claims, Mr Venturi's barrister, John McLinden QC, said: 'Mr Venturi denies any software error as alleged by the defendant.
'The defendant has failed to establish that Mr Venturi broke any rules of the game whilst playing and obtaining the winnings.'
He added: 'Mr Venturi performed his part of the game by completing various steps and screens presented to him by the defendant on the website, and paid for his bets on the game from the funds in his account.
'He did everything that was required of him to pay for the bets.
'If his account was not charged at any time for the repeat bets, which is not admitted, that omission was due to the defendant's failure to completely perform its obligations to him, and to comply with its regulatory requirements.'
The hearing, taking place at the Royal Courts of Justice, continues.
Surrey-based Eurobet UK Ltd, which operated the Italian website, have been told today they don't have to pay out because the software bug helped Mr Venturi win

About this location
The Andalucia region
Estepona is a little more traditional and Spanish than some of the other resorts on the Costa del Sol and enjoys a pleasant Mediterranean climate all year round with bright sunny days for most of the year. The combination of the mountainous peaks of the Sierra Blanca terrain together with the coastline ensures a mild winter with an average maximum temperature of 22.8 degrees C while summers are dry and hot and can reach temperatures that go well into the 30's. Fortunately due to low humidity, the heat is comfortable and not sticky or overbearing
Estepona is ideally situated to visit all the attractions that the Costa del Sol has to offer from golfing to beach holidays, family to clubbing holidays. For the children there are a variety of places - Funny Beach, Fuengirola Zoo, Selwo Safari Park, Selwo Marina, the Aquaparks in Mijas and Torremolinos and Tivoli World Amusement Park in Benalmadena. For others who prefer sightseeing Gibraltar is 45 minutes by car, the mountain town of Ronda and the lovely village of Mijas are just 60 minutes. The spectacular town of Granada and the Sierra Nevada ski area are also within a couple of hours drive.
Estepona has an excellent beach and promenade and a stroll round the old town is a definite "must". A local market is held every Wednesday on the outskirts of town and a local artisans market takes place in Estepona Port on a Sunday morning.

Today we look at two 975X motherboards from DFI and MSI. We'll overclock them and work out which is your best choice.Introduction
Intel's Core 2 family of processors are now starting to expand. At release there were only a few models released, the high-end Extreme and the 4MB cache Core 2 Duo. We now are starting to see the lower-end 2MB cache series hitting the streets and Quad Core is coming in a couple of months. While the CPU line up is starting to spread, so are the boards supporting Core 2.
Intel announced that their 975X chipset would support Core 2 but current motherboard before the release of Conroe based on the same chipset wouldn't because of the required VRM 2.2 voltage system that the Core 2 uses. No 975X motherboards were built to handle this, until now.
Since Intel aren't intending on releasing a new enthusiast level chipset for their processors for sometime, we are starting to see new revisions of older motherboards released like the ASUS P5W-DH - which is simply a P5WD2-E Premium with Core 2 support. Today we are looking at two new motherboards from MSI and DFI which are designed for Core 2 and Core 2 Extreme processors.
From DFI we are looking at the Infinity 975X/G motherboard to support the Pentium 4, Pentium D and Core 2 families. From MSI we are looking at the 975X Platinum PowerUp Edition which is a revision of the MSI 975X Platinum that was released earlier on in the year for the Pentium D and Pentium Extreme.
So come all ye faithful and see just who had the features and overclocking to be the king of the hill - will MSI murder DFI or will DFI devastate MSI? Let's take a look and find out!

Anybody notice that Amyotrophc Lateral Sclerosis was in that long list of potential orphan diseases they might address?
I'm almost hoping for a buyout, just to see the resident weirdo disappear from anything I might ever happen to read again.
There's a reason the instys are piling in. They know the inevitable. I just want to see Capital Research (American Funds) come on board.
Despite the lunatic terry's everlasting fixation on this company and his inexplicable and clearly negative agenda, there is a grain of truth in what he says. There is no absolute guarantee that the company will succeed in its mission, just as the company itself states in all its disclaimers. I think the probability of success is high. However, you would be wise to find a way to reduce your basis/risk if you have any sizable investment here. I have reduced my basis and plan on reducing my basis/risk to zero if the price keeps rising. I have done this by buying/selling shares/options over many years, while maintaining a sizable core holding. I am never totally out as the lunatic often claims to be, as who knows when a killer deal/announcement will leave you flat-footed and out in the cold. If the SP gets to $40 or $400, I will still be holding some shares and will participate in whatever is dealt us as shareholders and I will not complain.
You idiot! All I did was point out that someone paid a $3 ASK on a 15 Feb INSM call, meaning they bet big the SP would surpass $18 and their call would be in the money. Well, they lost the bet and it surely wasn't me. But keep posting your tripe and keep trying to score points in your little brain.
Hate is not a crime to terry, but a pastime and a pleasure, sadly for us who frequent this MB.
Their Chief Medical Officer disappointed, not the drug. Had a larger patient population been recruited, the .05 p level on the crude and highly variable semi-quant scale of reduction of bacterial density might have been attained. Hence, her exit. The buyers of the new offering can see beyond this snafu and are looking at a treatment that can safely eradicate the NTM pathogen. Who knows what this new cash infusion will be used for? I look forward to blockbuster announcements any moment now.
Next up, Capital Research Global Investors and Capital World Investors (American Funds). We've gone from the aggressive Fidelity, to the slightly more conservative T. Rowe Price. When the decidedly more conservative American Funds come on board, you'll know we are considered a pretty sure bet at cracking the market.
Tom, if you are not aware that "someone" can quickly remove any post, not just replies to their own posts, you haven't been paying attention to what goes on here. Enough complaints will deep six a post, so if you have a way of registering a lot of complaints, say with multiple accounts, you could make that happen very fast, and it often does.
Hey idiot clone pest, I just looked up T Rowe Price Health Sciences Fund turnover rate and it's 5%. Looks like when they buy in, they hold, just like many of us, including Franklin Street Partners and Palo Alto Investors, who have been in INSM for a considerable time, not trading in and out, like you pretend to do. We're all holding for the big reward over the long haul.
Shire ROP study:
Estimated Primary Completion Date: July 2015 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Plenty of time for Shire to announce new manufacturing of mecasermin rinfabate (iPlex), which can provide Insmed a fresh supply of iPlex for the Short Stature indication as well as any other potential indication once the Settlement with Genentech/Roche is no longer in force.
Probably someone protecting a profit in a large position. Much better way than setting a stop-loss, which will not guarantee your minimum price if it gaps down on an unexpected hiccup (something we have seen here more than once). At least they're probably holding their position, which means they expect further upside.
My vote goes to Bulbophyllum Doggy Doo, a hybrid of B. orthoglossum x B. echinolabium.
I think they know the company has something material to tell us in the coming days related to the offering, so it wouldn't make much sense to set targets until this *something* is announced.
It's his job 24/7/365. Strange.
From what I could tell during the trading day as the position continued to build, those puts were being purchased at the ASK, which would be tantamount to doubling down for a short. That's why I think it's nothing more than insurance against an unexpected drop in price over the next 2 months.
A beautiful thing to own as you watch the bids go higher....yeah, looks a lot like a Picasso.
You are all a bunch of idiots!!!!!! The last time I added was at 13.87!!!!!
Just kidding. Even tho that was my last add, I wanted to emulate the dysfunctional resident sicko to self-aggrandize and preen like a peacock.
I don't know what it means, but just draw a channel and buy at the low end and sell at the high end to reduce your basis in core shares. I've started doing this again in a Roth IRA account after last August's swoon. Seems to be working.
Have fun, let it snow, Good Luck, ESADMF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ever since I got a Keurig coffee maker at home, I've grown to really appreciate freshly brewed coffee at a cafe. While the Keurig coffee maker has made my morning coffee ritual a snap, it doesn't take the place of freshly brewed coffee. So now, going out for coffee is a real treat for me.
Since I am on vacation this week, I decided to abandon my Keurig and paid a visit to Poppy's. I would never had discovered their existence had it not been for @melissa808's weekly tweets and Instagram photos of their cupcakes.
Now I know why she goes there a lot - it's awesome! Their coffee is fresh and hot. Their cupcakes (all made in-house) taste as though they were made that morning. I have yet to try their sandwiches but I hear they're delish

dmvdc, do you see that what you are describing as differences in memory is a difference in thinking?
De Groot's point about thought processes is that both amateurs and GMs calculate in similar manners. But they have different goals in mind (evaluations) and different abilities to memorize and recall key positions.
Those are real differences in thinking.
dvde, do you see that what you are describing as differences in memory is a difference in thinking?
but do all GMs have the same way of thinking???
Hierarchical thinking. Your thoughts are built upon previous learning experience. In other words: the more you play, the more efficient your chess-thinking becomes.
I don't think they have different goals in mind. As to their "different abilities to memorize and recall key positions," the point is that those different abilities arise from their experience and knowledge, not from some innate ability masters possess that the rest of us lack. What we (if we're not masters, and I'm certainly not!) lack, and they do not, is precisely that experience and knowledge. So, no, I don't consider differences in memory and knowledge differences in thinking. But differences in memory and knowledge do lead to different results!
To me, this is all the more reason to respect GMs. They're not just random people who happen to hit upon some secret thought process, allowing them to attain chess mastership. They work with the same tools we all do (barring any mental or physical handicaps, of course).
SmyslovFan wrote:
I would agree that they may ask some of the same questions, but they often come to different conclusions.
I would think GM's have more of an ability at creativity skills (at least as far as chess goes anyway) than most people that try to learn later in life. That does not mean other creative geniuses can't be great at chess. I personally believe everyone thinks differently, at least to some degree in different areas. So obviously some exceptions could occur, its just unlikely unless one has all the proper mentalities (lol, not sure if that is even a word) needed.
However learning ( or just having the ability ) the creative parts especially the older you get, the harder it becomes normally. I guess there could be exceptions, but generally it may not be possible at least for most people, or so difficult for most after a certain age, that its not worth the effort.
I would also think that age could also vary per person. So there isn't an age per se. Its just much easier to pick things up if you are younger. As well as highly unlikely for most to reach GM status after a certain age in their life, and usually going from past GM's, that age is typically pretty young, not that there isn't a few exceptions, its just very unlikely.
That does not mean you can't be a very good player however. And chess is a game that you can derive many hours of pleasure from. So play for the enjoyment, not to reach some title. You may reach the title, but if you enjoy it first, then you won't have any regrets, because you didn't ever receive that title. Good luck.
Wow guys I didnt even know there was a Book on GrandMaster's, thanks to everyone for their input.

The green blob and its double standards
I'm grateful to Ben Pile and Barry Woods for these observations about the latest edition of Nature Climate Change, a special with a focus on climate change and the media.
Barry noted that it featured articles by Leo Hickman, now of Carbon Brief, and Richard Black, now of the Energy and Climate Change Information Unit. By strange coincidence, both of these organisations are funded by the European Climate Foundation (ECF), a conduit for funding sent by green billionaires.
Ben then pointed out that the author of another article - James Painter of the Reuters School of Journalism - was not only the son in law of Crispin Tickell but also the beneficiary of considerable funding from the self-same ECF. Another coincidence, no doubt, but one that meant that no fewer than three of the five articles in the special feature were written by ECF-funded authors.

DURHAM -- Along with numerous fender benders, Friday's snowstorm contributed to fatalities and more than two dozen collisions considered "concerning" by Durham Regional Police.
The winter weather that blew into Durham Region created havoc on the roads as motorists struggled to maneuver snow-clogged streets and stay out of ditches.
"We were very busy," said Inspector Nick Lisi of the calls placed to Durham police on Friday.
Mother Nature dropped more than a foot of snow on some areas of Durham Feb. 8, which resulted in traffic chaos throughout the day and two deaths that were attributed to the weather conditions.
Officers responded to more than 25 collisions across Durham on Friday that "were deemed to be concerning to us" due to their location or injuries, added Insp. Lisi.
In addition, Durham's collision reporting centre on Rossland Road in Whitby was "inundated" with motorists reporting various fender-benders and other minor accidents, said the inspector.
The winter storm brought snow and tragedy to Durham as two men, one from Whitby and another from Oshawa, lost their lives in a span of less than 12 hours.
On Thursday night, just before 11 p.m., two pedestrians trying to cross a street in Whitby were struck by a vehicle. An 18-year-old Whitby man died and a 19-year-old Whitby man remains in critical care at a Toronto hospital.
On Friday morning, a 49-year-old Oshawa man died after a three-vehicle collision in Pickering at Brock and Whitevale roads just after 7 a.m.
Later Friday night, a 46-year-old Uxbridge man died after the snowmobile he was riding collided with a snowplow clearing a driveway along Concession 7, south of Ravenshoe Road near Udora.

Wasted Potential.,
= Fun:
This review is from: L.A. Noire (PS3) (Video Game)
To start with this review, I need to state that the lower than average score isn't down to me wanting this to be a GTA game. In fact, the whole reason I bough this game is because of press waxing lyrical over how it breathed new life into the adventure genre. While L.A. Noire does have it's fun and interesting moments, it often feels like the game is holding you at arms length rather than drawing you in like it should be.
Strange mechanics and a lack of variety really dampen the overall experience. The interview system is much more simplified than it was touted to be by the developers. Throughout the game, it was fairly obvious when a character is lying as they roll their eyes around like they've come loose in the socket. Frustratingly, the question branches sometimes defy logic. For example, (being careful not to give spoilers), say you need to prove that the suspect had a key item registered to them and you have come across evidence to back that up. When questioning them about this and seeing your chance to call them out, sometimes the subject will change completely meaning a different piece of evidence is needed, or there isn't actually a way to call them out. Other mechanics such as being able to pop off a warning shot or tackle a fleeing suspect are only present when the game wants them to be, giving the feeling of the action being overscripted. That's not to say it's all bad, the facial capture work really does look great and the performances are generally very good. The main storyline is very intersting too. Although I must say, the game has probably one of the worst endings I've seen in such a story driven game. Driving is very responsive and theres a great variety of cars and the game world is well fleshed out, which makes the lack of any meatier side missions rather tragic. The game will take between 15-20 hours on your first play through depending on how well you do. It's also very easy, which is a mixed blessing as it actually detracts from the fun of the investigations in some cases. So in summary, if you're looking for something interesting to play, I would reccomend giving this a try, just don't expect it to be as amazing as the majority of the hype will lead you to believe. I would recommend to rent or wait until the price comes down though as it doesn't hold much in the way of replay value. With a bit more freedom, more challenge, a bit more depth to game play and some tighter writing, this could have been a classic. As it stands, its merely an above average title which coasts along on its graphics tech a bit too much. Comments

I agree with Church. I'm a hardcore gamer, so I've got the two proper gaming consoles, Xbox 360 and PS3, and a very powerful PC.
That in mind I'm just going to wait until they release it on PC later this year. I can't wait to see what the mod community do to make the game more fun.

I was expecting something a lot better from rockstar and this was a huge let down, it starts off ok, but the game becomes very samey its repetative as hell, what i also find annoying are the cars, the thing about games such as gta are you felt good when you came across a car that stood out from the rest, in this game it doesnt offer that they are all to simular,also the music i understand that you wont be jamming to hiphop beats but at least give the option to change radio stations, what i do find great how ever are the facial captures the animation is top notch just a shame that this game gets boring fast. if you guys can pick this up for �20 its worth checking out but �35-40 no just my opinion.

Finally got around to playing this game, I have to say it really pulls you in and I'm really enjoying it so far....these are the sort of games I like, slow burners that immerse you at the same time. This game plays like a cross between of GTA and Heavy Rain. It's actually more like Heavy Rain than GTA surprisingly.

Thanks Ryan. On the factory jib, the line through the jib luff acts as the forestay for the boat and can be tensioned with a bowsie. The lower s-hook acts as the pivot point for the jib boom on hauls. The challenge Im having with the Carr jib is that I need to run a luff wire in addition to the jib lines. If I run a wire through the luff and attach to both boom and mast using the current mounting points what would be the best way to do so to allow tensioning as well as break down? Any suggestions would be welcome.

I used a line from 1/4 scale rc airplanes for my rigging of my vela. Also you can find out the total square inches of sail for the vela fro my posting on page 55 or 56 of this thread. I have just installed a ace drum sail servo in the vela and I think it is going to work great. ronnied

Finished with the mods to the vela
Hi everyone, I have finally finished with all the modifications to my vela sailboat. Attached are the final set of pictures with all the mods. I have sailed the boat and she works just great. She is a very capable sailing vessel in winds up to 10 MPH and handles very well. If I were going to change another thing it would be a larger rudder. I agree with Ryan that we should have a vela class group and we should have a modified vela class. The reason I say modified is because this is a wonderful RTR boat that allows us to add modifications and different options.
Thanks for all your support and comments. ronnied |

Good Morning, Last night I made one more modification to my vela. I used another pulley in line for the drum servo haul in and out. This seems to make sure that if there is any slack in the line it will not affect the line winding correctly around the drum. (see the pictures with this post.) I have done some extensive testing and so far it is working good. ronnied

I am a newbie to the world of RC Sailing, though I've sailed Sunfish, Lasers, and Lightnings on the St. Lawrence River. Was given a Tippecanoe T27 kit for Christmas last year. Had a blast building it, and sailing was certainly fun too, but the big water of the St. Lawrence was a bit much for it. Winds easily over 10 knots most every day.
The only other RC sailor near me has a Marblehead design. I talked to him and was educated quite a bit, but a Marblehead is more than I can handle, and not easily attainable. Then I found the Aquacraft Vela and 56 pages of posts. I've read a bunch of them, and am considering this boat. I sense that it will require some customization, which I think I can handle. I am concerned about the big water of the St. Lawrence. I would also love to have a boat that I can use to race and participate with others, but I'm not sure it's an active sport in the area. Anyone's thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks! |

Probably not the right boat for rough water and lots of wind (10knts or more). An ODOM or an older IOM with a B rig would handle windy conditions much better than a vela. Vela is a very light boat at 6 ish pounds all up. Marblehead or 50/800 is a fun class, I have an older one that I am restoring to sail for fun. Ryan

Publisher Synopsis
'Nothing less than a design for life.' (Art Review) 'MassiveChange is about everything and everybody ... intelligent, visually provocative ... not just a modern guide to technologies, but also a discussion of how they affect our planet.' (Building Engineer) 'The most unusual design book of the year ... This is in-depth thinking.' (Financial Times) 'With impeccable artistic contributions ... and informed articles, Massive Change muses on the trends that will shape this century.' (Wallpaper*) 'A well-argued, well-illustrated and indeed inspiring book that breaks from the usual mould.' (FX) "Sings like an ode to sustainable development.' (Dazed & Confused) 'GLOBAL WAKE-UP CALL In a back cover tag-line that wouldn't seem out of place on a movie poster, it boldly states that 'Massive Change is not about the world of design; it's about the design of the world.' Amazingly, it manages to live up to his assertion. ... Yes, it's idealistic, but you'll be so engrossed in the texts, images and sheer self-belief that you'll forgive it. ... Enormous in its scope, Massive Change is a wake-up call to everyone concerned with the 'sustainability' of the human race on earth. And its' only 20 quid. Incredible!' ( Architectural Review) ' With 250 color and 50 B&W photos in a fractally chaotic layout, and a text that speaks in affirmative sound bites, this book offers a vision of the world in a package designed to get readers excited about stoves that burn peanut shells, superlight gels that can protect flowers from flame, and plants and microbes that turn open sewers into water supplies. It succeeds beautifully.' (Publishers Weekly) 'Bruce Mau is as close as you'll get to a design-world hero.' (Surface) Read more...

Public Opinion Snapshot: Tax the Rich, Pass the Jobs Bill
President Barack Obama is strongly making the case for his jobs proposal lately and arguing equally strongly that the rich should foot the bill for this legislation. He appears to be winning the battle of public opinion on both fronts.
In the most recent Washington Post/ABC poll, 52 percent say they support his plan, even though the $450 billion price tag is prominently mentioned, and just 36 percent are opposed.
And in the same poll, respondents were asked whether President Obama's jobs package, if it passed Congress, would improve the jobs situation. By a 58-40 margin, the public said it would.
As for taxing the rich, that idea is wildly popular. By an astounding 52-point margin (75-23) the public supports the idea of raising taxes on those making over $1 million a year.
Conservatives said the American people would reject President Obama's proposals because they were "big government, tax and spend." And many pundits predicted President Obama's aggressive approach would alienate centrist voters who wanted a continued focus on deficit reduction and bipartisanship at all costs. Wrong on both counts.

One thing you notice consistently about Australians is they will not tolerate injustice and there's nothing more unifying than when somebody gets the rough end of the stick.
"only 40 more likes to 500"
"wow! We've got 1000 followers now"
"help us get to 300 followers and we'll give something away".
"the system is the prison, not just the room with bars".How true is this statement? We are all part of a much broader system, and any "choice" we have is qualified and limited. Some of us are better placed than others to navigate the world, and this privilege means that it can be hard to see what life is like for those who live outside it.
'Miss Dhu's death reminds us that the system sees Aboriginal women's lives as disposable".Too many Aboriginal women and men end up in jail. What impact does this have on our community's greater well-being? How can we allow a generation of women and men to be lost to incarceration?
To start I would like first to acknowledge the Traditional Owners, the Yidinji people, and acknowledge their ongoing sovereignty of the land and sea. I would also like to acknowlege the people here today. I'm from down south, from Brisbane. I've known Shannon for a few years now from when she was a student at Queensland College of Art doing the Bachelor of Contemporary Australian Indigenous Art. And I'm very humbled to be here to speak about the exhibition and to introduce Shannon's work to you all.
It's been a long time since I was a teenager and my early twenties were literally twenty years ago. And in reading this body of work, I'm conscious that it's primary audience is not me, but my young daughter, my nieces and other young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women in this community and in communities around the country.
You see, despite the fact that women have come yes indeed come along way, and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women (and men) have come along way, there is still so much work to be done.
As a parent, I worry about the messages that my daughter is consistently being sent. The dichotomous messages about how to behave, what to expect. If we look at images of young women online - so much of it is about exhibitionism for a known or unknown audience, it's all accentuated cleavages and pouty fish lips. On television, there are consistent messages that if you're not skinny you don't deserve nor will you find love. High profile journalists and media sources tell our young people that on the one hand, they're being raised in the most dysfunctional families in the country, and yet on the other, if they get too much of an education they could end up not being authentic enough to live and work within their own communities.
I also worry for my three teenage sons, what messages are being sent to them about how women behave, about what women expect, and about how women wish to be treated. There are so many messages - both racist and sexist - that seem only designed to keep young people confused and mentally battered.
bell hooks has labelled this type of representation as being part of the project of White Supremacist Capitalist Patriarchy. That, is that "the interlocking systems of domination - of race, sexism, misogyny, homophobia - that define our reality"
Patricia Grace, a Maori writer has argued that books (and the media) can be dangerous to young Indigenous people, as they do not reinforce our values, actions, customs, culture and identity,
- when they tell us only about others they are saying we don't exist; (how many young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women appear regularly in as three dimensional characters across Australian media?)
- they may be writing about us but are writing things which are untrue; (how regularly do media outlets across the country create and re-create racist narratives about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people)
- when they are writing about us but saying negative and insensitive things which tell us we are no good; (The Australian newspaper anyone?)
To me Shannon's exhibition, I Didn't Get To Cry Till Now, is an attempt to speak back to the representation and stereotype Aboriginal woman. She demonstrates and makes explicit, that behind the stereotype, behind the narrative, there is a person, a human being. She brings forth the racialised and gendered self that is rendered Invisible by the White Supremacist Capitalist Patriarchial project that is colonised Australia.
Mary Graham, a Kombamerri Elder and philosopher has talked in her work about the reflective and questing Aboriginal mind. One that is in tune with community and that seeks to understand ourselves and maintain relationships with others. The questing mind, to be on a quest, a challenge, to question, to think critically. This resonates with me, when I see Shannon's work. Her work is about her, and about the women and men in her life.
Shannon isn't the only one, she's not the first. Others have gone before her - Destiny Deacon, Fiona Foley, and Dianne Jones, and many others. Shannon continues their legacy as story tellers who speak back to power, who represent their own families and communities, who gives voice to those who are rendered voiceless in the ongoing colonisation of this land.
I've known a few artists at the start of their careers and watched as they've gone from being emerging to established artists. That journey can take over a decade. But I have no doubt, that Shannon with the support of her family and community, will continue to grow from strength to strength. Ladies and Gentleman, I would like to introduce to you Ms Shannon Brett …
