There are also some general food quirks and highlights in Minnesota listed below you should know about, as they will undoubtedly come up in conversation.
For even more information on the Minnesota food scene, be sure to check out the Minnesota Food Guide!
Restaurants not to be missed
The rise of "New Nordic Cuisine" was, and still is, led by The Bachelor Farmer, conceived of by James Beard award-winning chef Paul Berglund. This movement is defined by the use of fresh, locally-source ingredients (their rooftop garden included) and whole-animal butchery. Their menu changes weekly, sometimes daily, but you can count on elegant, wildly creative twists on hearty dishes.
Breathless anticipation the likes of which Minneapolis has rarely seen preceded the opening of Spoon and Stable in 2014. James Beard Award winner, cooking superhero and Minnesota native Gavin Kaysen is both chef and owner. The menu is relatively short, with a Midwest seasonal theme and a few tantalizing seafood options. Reserve well in advance or cross your fingers for a walk-in seat in the bar which serves the full menu.
Owned and designed by James Beard award winner Chef Isaac Becker is 112 Eatery, serving "elevated comfort fare" and designed as the type of place off-duty chefs would eat. Chef Becker's second project, Bar La Grassa, serves a wide variety of pastas and other crowd-pleasing Italian staples. Getting a table at either of these places requires a bit of planning most nights.
If your philosophy is there's no such thing as too much Italian, you should also check out Monello on the opposite corner of downtown. Their kitchen aims for more sophisticated interpretations of Italian cuisine, including exceptional seafood and craft cocktails. They do a weekend brunch with bottomless mimosas.
Men's Journal rated Manny's Steakhouse among the "10 Best Steakhouses in the World" in 2015. Located on the ground floor of downtown's iconic Foshay Tower, Manny's is considered a special occasion dining experience for most income brackets, but it's money well spent. Lust-worthy cuts of beef headline a menu that also features lobster, king crab, salmon and, yes, even chicken—if you want to ruin your server's day.
Some of the city's most Instagramable food is served at the much-awarded Borough. Seasonal ingredients dress up lovingly prepared pork, halibut, scallops, octopus and more. Their downstairs bar, Parlour, is one of the city's top cocktail labs, most notably "The Parlour Old Fashioned," which has established itself as the Old Fashion that all other Old Fashions are compared to. A menu item simply called "The Burger" (two ribeye/chuck/brisket patties infused with garlic, shallots, and thyme with American cheese on an egg bun), served on both floors, has caused virtually every food critic to weep with joy.
It's a bit outside of downtown, but if you want to add a menu with the fingerprints of two James Bread award semifinalist chefs to your food journal in one stroke, French bistro Grand Café is worth the short drive. The menu is priced for an informal neighborhood crowd, with likeminded dishes that are refined and imaginative without being extravagant. That said, the taste and appearance of the Foie Gras Royale (traditional custard gingerly served in a hollowed out eggshell, perched on a dainty duck-footed pedestal) won't be something you'll forget for quite some time.
The first (and still leading) coal oven pizza in Minneapolis is available at Black Sheep Pizza. The thin crust, no nonsense pizzas gained fame for coaxing strong flavors out of few, sometimes as little as two, toppings. If minimalist pie isn't your style, you can build your own from a generous list of ingredients.
Brunch is not a topic Twin Citizens take lightly. There are several strong downtown representatives in this field, including Key's Café, a Minneapolis institution, housed in a funky art-deco space. They serve American fare all day, but the breakfast menu is where it's at, with their giant omelets and in-house bakery. Hen House also boasts an amazing breakfast and bakery. They also do lunch and a limited small plate/happy hour menu till 8pm.
Downtown's most (in)famous spot for food and drinks is Hell's Kitchen, an eclectically decorated, basement joint, serving "damn good food" all day. On weekends, they have a renowned brunch menu, a spectacular Bloody Mary bar and live music.
The Minneapolis Farmers Market, opened in 1937 at its current location on the west side of downtown (the original opened in 1876), is currently filled with 230 vendors working out of 170 stalls. Products include seasonal fruits and vegetables, beef, poultry, pork, bison, cheese, honey, eggs, wild rice, herbs, flowers and garden items. The market is open year-round, with reduced hours in winter.
South of downtown, a roughly 10-block strip of Nicollet Avenue has been designated "Eat Street," and for good reason. It's a veritable Grand Tour of international food, where you can eat for weeks and never get bored. Frequent buses run up and down Nicollet, connecting downtown with Eat Street and beyond, or you can work up an appetite on the way there with a brisk walk. You can read about Eat Street in greater detail here, but here's a quick sampling of what's available:
- Little Tijuana - A quick lunch and late-night wind-down Mexican favorite for 40 years.
- Christos - Voted "best Greek restaurant" by Mpls. St. Paul magazine in 2017, come here for a wedge of moussaka or precision-sliced, tender gyros.
- My Huong Kitchen – Just one of several places offering excellent, bargain-priced Vietnamese cuisine. Eat Street Social – A recent arrival, serving bistro fare and cocktails in primary colors.
- Rainbow Chinese Restaurant and Bar – Skillfully prepared, upscale Chinese food.
- Harry Singh's - Courageously spicy Caribbean food, inspired by loving island grandmas.
A short drive east of downtown, clustered around the intersection of Cedar-Riverside, are several more inexpensive, authentic international options. If you find yourself in the area, look out for Dilla's Ethiopian Restaurant, which gets high marks for affordability, authenticity and their combination platters; Lucky Dragon serving lovingly prepared, giant Vietnamese dishes; Malabari Kitchen for southwestern Indian food like biriyani (mixed rice dish), seafood and HOT curry; and the grab-n-go, hole-in-the-wall Mediterranean Deli, serving falafel, sambusas, lamb gyros and a few West African dishes.
Finally, if it's a cold, creamy reward you need, Izzy's Ice Cream, across the street from Gold Medal Park, near the Guthrie Theater, is a locally adored place serving hand-crafted ice cream.
Foods you should know—a Minnesota primer
Walleye is a freshwater fish with white flesh similar to halibut and we love it here. The overall flavor is thick, sweet and mild, making it ideal for a wide variety of inventive preparations. Accordingly, many local chefs include their signature walleye dish on their menus. Fun fact: most of the walleye consumed in Minnesota is actually imported from Canada.
A Jucy Lucy (A.K.A. "Juicy Lucy") is both a wondrous style of hamburger preparation and point of contention among Twin Citizens. The burger is prepared by pinching two thin patties together around a hunk of cheese, creating a somewhat dangerous molten center when grilled. (Give your Lucy a few minutes to cool off before biting into it or your food tour of Minneapolis will be drastically altered—or ruined.)
Two local bars have been feuding about who invented the Lucy since the 1950s: Matt's Bar (they of the infamous "Jucy" spelling) and the 5-8 Club, both located on Cedar Avenue in South Minneapolis. Now a signature Minneapolis food experience, featured on pretty much every cable TV food show that comes to town, other restaurants have gentrified the Lucy with imaginative beef and cheese center combos. Nevertheless, the originals still outsell them all. Matt's Bar reportedly prepares more than 400 Lucys a day.
Lutefisk is a traditional dish in some Nordic countries, which has famously enjoyed a rebirth in Minnesota. It's made from whitefish (usually cod), which is soaked in lye and water for days. The result is a gelatinous, foul-smelling glob that is not agreeable to most palates, to put it gently. Andrew Zimmern, host of the popular traveling food show Bizarre Foods and long-time Twin Cities resident, has declared it to be "one of the worst foods in the world," which is really saying something.
Lutefisk is generally only available around the holidays, served in the basements of Lutheran churches and fraternal lodges. Its main consumer demographics are elderly people of Scandinavian descent, though presumably there's a small element of people eating it on an alcohol-fueled dare. You're unlikely to encounter lutefisk (on purpose) during your visit to the Twin Cities, but this dish is a frequent punchline for locals, so it helps to know this context.
Lefse (pronounced lef-sah), another import from Norway, is a labor-intensive, soft flatbread, made with potatoes, flour, butter, and milk (or cream). It's usually served with butter, with some people adding sugar, jelly or lingonberries. It's also mainly served around the holidays.
Minnesota's wild rice has grown to a degree of fame with cooks that you may have already eaten it in your home state. It's taste and versatility has made it into something of a delicacy, popularly served as a bed for other ingredients or in soups.
Hot dish is effectively a casserole, usually containing meat (ground beef or tuna are most common), vegetables, some kind of starch (hash browns, tater tots, etc) and canned soup. It's rare to encounter hot dish outside of private homes or large gatherings of people like family reunions and church dinners. Like lutefisk, it is often used as a Minnesota food punchline, though hot dish is considered to be vastly more edible. Minnesota's national congressional delegation has held a bipartisan, highly competitive hot dish competition each year since 2010.

ArtsPreview 2010-11: The season in Broward-Miami art
By Emma Trelles
Each fall, it is the labor of arts writers everywhere to forge connections between the many exhibits about to snap open and clamor for the eye's attention. There is much excitement after many hot and slow months of student art shows and sweetly presented orchid photos at community centers.
September marks the beginning of the real pageant, or so we write, the onslaught of serious and money-minded mega fairs, the lockstep march of masters and up-and-comers, sculpture and paintings from exotic continents, the panache of New York canvases, the dioramas strewn with Pop surrealist kitsch. Arts writers strive to say how individual shows are, in fact, subtly linked through form or era, through tradition and culture, or even perhaps through the sweat of sheer intention.
But the truth is -- they are not. Each art season and its body parts arrive as beautifully disarrayed as the last. When it comes to this and every season's exhibit roster, there is no pattern, no unity, no invisible reed joining the twilight penumbra of one cityscape to the charcoal clavicle of another nude drawing. Why pretend there is some overarching story? What is the point in making everything so tidy?
No fun in that, we say, so this year, we'll dispense with the alleged themes and continuity. Let's just say that there is much to see in South Florida. The eye is ready.
In what promises to be a rich retrospective, Tom Wesselmann Draws opens the season at the Museum of Art: Fort Lauderdale, Nova Southeastern University. The show includes more than 100 cutout still lifes, found-art collages, and mixed-media paintings and constructions made over 45 years by the late American Pop artist. Included are the some of the large-scale drawings and initial sketches for Wesselmann's color-sensual Great American Nude series.
Vatican Splendors: A Journey Through Faith and Art arrives in January and teems with paintings, mosaics, sculpture, papal jewels, embroidered silk vestments and the armor and swords of the Swiss Guards. One of the grandest gatherings of art and historically significant objects from the Vatican that has toured North America, the exhibit also boasts the compass and tools used by Michelangelo while making the frescoes of the Sistine Chapel.
The Art and Culture Center of Hollywood has already begun its seasonal offerings with Sinisa Kukec: And Yet Another Wayward Landscape and Stephan Tugrul: En Masse. The former sprawls across the center's main gallery and considers shape, light, and movement through a host of sculptural, and in places sexual, elements, some of which include a turntable, ornate frames, a rehabilitated dresser drawers, a ghostly fox, and swirling mirrors. Tugrul presents an energetic surge of collage and appropriated landscapes.
This year, the ever-rotating Projects Room welcomes the primordial, plastic vistas of Cristina Lei Rodriguez: Forever, the mythic banner paintings of Lisa Rockford: The She-Monster Sideshow, and Christiaan Lopez-Miro: All Roads Lead to Cassadaga, an assembly of photographs that chronicles a 115-year old Central Florida community with poetic attention to stillness and space.
Frances Trombly: Paintings arranges the Miami artist's first solo exhibition at the Girls' Club, which regularly features fiber and traditional craft media works by internationally renowned female artists including Kiki Smith, Ghada Amer, Ellen Gallagher, Amparo Sard and Tara Donovan, as well as prominent South Florida artists such as Carol Prusa, Jen Stark, Kevin Arrow, Dinorah de Jesus Rodriguez, and Kerry Phillips. Known for handcrafting ordinary objects such as grocery store receipts and mops from fiber, Trombly expands on her oeuvre with these sculptural canvases made specifically for this downtown Fort Lauderdale art space.
The Bear and Bird Boutique + Gallery (inside/upstairs at TATE's Comics+Toys+Videos) continues its always lively arts roster with Monsters Under My Bed, a multi-medium group show spotlighting South Florida artists and the assorted ooogah-boogahs of childhood nightmares. Also on deck: the gallery's fourth annual Small Stuff (works 8 x 10 or smaller by local, national, and international visual artists) and The Super Punch Tarot, a wholly original tarot collection fashioned by dozens of artists and curated by pop toy-and-product blogger John Struan.
Yves Saint Front: The Kaufman Collection shows the luminous canvases of the 20th century French painter at The Coral Springs Museum of Art. A concurrent exhibit shows bronzes, sepia-toned marine-inspired photographs, and landscape paintings by, respectively, Jim Rennert, Michael Kahn, and Nicholas Berger. The new year brings watercolors by Miles Batt and figurative and abstract sculpture by Lothar Nickel, followed by Tools in Motion: The Hechinger Collection, a sampling of visual art that honors the design and function of everyday tools.
At the Museum of Contemporary Art, North Miami, everyday objects and thrift store attire are bundled to form the installations found in Shinique Smith: Menagerie. This is the New York-based artist's first large-scale U.S. museum show, and it also assembles paintings, drawings, and video inspired in part from abstract expressionism, color field painting, and Japanese calligraphy.
During Art Basel Miami Beach, the museum conflates the oeuvre of an international fashion and street photographer with the toil of one of Miami's Caribbean communities in Bruce Weber: Haiti / Little Haiti. Shot from 2003 to the present, approximately 75 photographs frame the lives of Haitian immigrants, and recent pictures capture the aftermath of Haiti's earthquake. In 2011, the museum brings in statues and dioramas from Jonathan Meese: Sculpture and works on paper by British artist Chris Ofili.
The Miami Art Museum organizes Susan Rothenberg: Moving in Place, the artist's first museum show in more than 10 years and her debut in South Florida. Twenty-five paintings include early horse pictorials from the mid 70s to more recent canvases which address her daily life in New Mexico and the desert's disjointed perspectives. Tomas Saraceno's Galaxies Forming Along Filaments, Like Droplets Along the Strands of a Spider's Web, is on view through the new year; the artist was the Argentine representative to the 2009 Venice Biennale, and this installation was the prototype for his work in Italy -- a conceptual installation that likens the universe to a lattice of floating elastic cords. A selection from the MAM's own diverse holdings fills out both Focus Gallery: Robert Rauschenberg and Between Here and There: Modern Contemporary Art from the Permanent Collection.
In a fresh twist on tourism trends, the ArtCenter of South Florida unveils the Miami Poster Project, five super-sized posters by illustrator Phillip Brooker which stylize Miami's tropical spaces, abundant bird life, and urban and arts centers. Curated by artist-in-residence Kristen Thiele, Art Basel: Good n' Plenty places the ArtCenter front and center, with works by past and present residents flanking exhibit spaces and corridors, including efforts by Gavin Perry, Luis Gispert, William Cordova, Beatriz Monteavaro, and Ellie Schneiderman. Next spring, architects and University of Miami professors Jacob Brillhart and Errol Barron display their sketchbooks and illustrations in Visual Thinking in the Digital Age.
The Frost Art Museum focuses on one narrative arc of abstract painting in Embracing Modernity: Venezuelan Geometric Abstraction. Covering the late 1940s through the 1960s, landmark works by Carlos Cruz-Diez, Gertrude (Gego) Goldschmidt, Mateo Manaure, Alejandro Otero, Jesus Rafael Soto and several others consider the genesis and history of this country's modern art movement. In Sequentia, artist Xavier Cortada visually depicts the four bases of a DNA strand through large-scale oil portraits; he also works with a microbiologist to create a living model of the famed double helix. Arnold Mesches, whose works are included in the collections of the Met, the National Gallery, and the Whitney, is featured in the Florida Artists Series: Selections from Anomie 1492-2006, an assemblage of 48 large acrylic paintings and 150 collages that blend postmodern thought with Old Master techniques.
At The Wolfsonian-Florida International University, Speed Limits celebrates of the role of velocity in modern-day life and showcases more than 200 works from the collections of The Wolfsonian and the Canadian Centre for Architecture. Some of the fare includes photographs of the construction of the Eiffel Tower and the Irving Trust Building in New York; films of early 20th-century American workers, paintings, drawings, and books. Art and Design in the Modern Age: Selections from the Wolfsonian Collection views cultural and political arenas through ceramics, handmade and mass-produced furniture, graphic design, ephemera and household objects. Highlights include a bas-relief produced for the 1933 Chicago World's Fair and a sculpture by Alexander Stirling Calder for the Panama-Pacific Exposition of 1915.
New York artist Ellen Harvey exhibits oil paintings inspired by nudes from the permanent collection of the Bass Museum of Art. Also on display: Florida's only ongoing Egyptian gallery, which includes a sarcophagus and mummy, and rotating selections from the museum's archives, which span more than five centuries and contain North American sculpture, landscapes from the 19th and 20th centuries, paintings from Latin America and the Caribbean, contemporary photography, and Asian art.
The Jaguar's Spots: Ancient MesoAmerican Art from the Lowe Art Museum, University of Miami displays masterpieces from ancient Mexico and Panama that examine the dynamics between art and the natural world. In The Changing Face of Art andPolitics, 32 works consider political imagery through an aesthetic lens that ranges from an early 16th-century engraving by Hieronymus Hopfur to a late 20th-century print by Stanley William Hayter. Frank Paulin: An American Documentarian brings 30 photographs from the mid-century American artist.
And finally, in its ninth and glittering incarnation, Art Basel Miami Beach descends on South Florida Dec. 2-5, with satellite fairs, gallery events, art talks, pop-up shops, installations, street murals, bands, bars, velvet ropes, and all the usual accompanying spectacle.

No prizes for guessing what story dominates almost all the papers the tonight, with the violence at the student demonstration being the top story. In this case I thought it might be interesting to look at just the opening line of the stories to analyse how language can be used subtly to portray different meanings. Continue reading

text: Yea you read it right, here are Ranger's Advanced class' skills with their branches. Also, feel free to discuss anything related to Rangers here SNIPER -as the class name implies, theyre focused on killing enemies from afar, dealing massive damage per hit (possibly the best single target damager). You need to be accurate at attacking with this class since they lack AOE skills. • Sniper Eye: Passive Skill, Level 10 gives +4 STR, +3 DEX, +3 MEN. Nothing exciting, but the stat boosts are welcome. • Spike Shot. SP:11 >This skill fires blue arrows instead of the regular orange ones. It can be used 3 times in quick succession, first press fires 2 arrows, second press releases 3 arrows, and the third press releases 1 extra powerful arrow that causes the character to stagger backward. This can be a normal attack replacement for Bow Users. Great both PvP and PvE. Type A. SP:11 ~ Stable type with stable damage and short rigor. (Best type for pvp, has the shortest rigor) Type B. SP:14 ~ Fire Power with improved power by consuming more SP. (If you're focused on farming, get this branch) Type C. SP:14 ~ Auto fire type with faster fire speed by consuming more SP. • Mirror Pierce, SP:22 >This skill makes the Ranger do a firing animation, but 3 arrows forming a "W" will appear as if a mirror image 6 feet in front of him shot them back. The animation is quick, and the projectiles even faster, so it's a good skill to cast in PvP. It's fairly useless in PvE because the damage is equal to one arrow from Spike Shot, but the SP cost is too big. This is also the Sniper's only MATK based skill. Type A. SP:19 ~ Saver type with less consumed SP by holding power. Type B. SP:22 ~ Concentration type with higher power but with increased cool time. Type C. SP:22 ~ Balance type with stable damage and short rigor. (Shortest rigor makes it easier to dodge on pvp aftr using it, pick this for pvp purposes) • Shooting Star, SP:24 >The ranger does a backflip and shoots an arrow diagonally at the spot where he kicked. Visually impressive, but the damage is average. Great for PvP against classes that get too close, bad in PvE as most Snipers stay away from mobs anyway, and Spike Shot is a better use for SP. This is the only attack that gun users can use from the Sniper skills. Type A. SP:23 ~ Balance type enhanced with improved stability. Type B. SP:24 ~ Irregular type that release arrows when firing with a time lag. Type C. SP:24 ~ Type that increases the arrows when firing and widens the range. Slight longer rigor. (More chances to hit but u are also more likely to receive hits) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ TRAP GUNNER -lacks offensive type skills since they are made mainly for support. Can disable/damage enemies with traps and do minor healings for injured allies. • Balista. SP:22 >A shot that works similar to blow chain but release one spear type ammo instead of 3 large exploding shells. Also knockbacks the enemy. Good for pushing the enemy on a trap behind. Can be used with a gun or bow. Type A. SP:20 ~saver type. Less SP. Type B. SP:22 ~combo type. Stop holding after start and faster start of the next skill. (Shortest rigor, for pvp purposes) Type C. SP:22 ~can be charged for more power • Medical Box. SP:24 >Places a healing orb on the ground for some time that heals a little amount of hp of any allie who walks through it. Will disappear afterwards. Spam this box on the field so allies can just walk through them and receive a "first aid". Type A. SP:24 ~adjusted cool time. Type B. SP:24 ~longer time set. Type C. SP:24 ~larger recovery amount. • Wide Flowers. Sp:25 >Sets a flower like trap on the ground that will damage nearby enemies. Has chance to put enemies to sleep, making them very vulnerable to you and your allies' attacks. Best used on a stunned opponent, let him/her sleep forever lol. This skill is very good on team plays. Type A. SP:25 ~adjusted cool time. Type B. SP:25 ~extended time set. Type C. SP:25 ~affects multiple enemies. Kept during time set. (Best branch for gvg/tower) Hidden skill ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ GUNSLINGER -prefers short to mid distance fights. They deal lower damage than Snipers but they can hit multiple targets at once with plenty if AOE skills which Snipers lack. Blaster >Fires a large shell that will explode once it hits the target. Damages the enemy twice. First hit is single damage, but the explosion is aoe. Deals decent damage but makes you vulnerable for a short period since it does an animation of reloading a large shell into your gun before firing it. The only GS skills that can be used with a bow. Also take note that the explosion is Fire elemental. Type A. ~firepower type with improved explosion power by targeting the distance into mid distance. Type B. ~spread type with wider explosion range but with more explosions. Type C. ~far distance type with more distance adjusting the bullet. • Assault Barrage >A plunge and faster version of Multishot but only does 3 stronger hits. Be careful when using this one since it shortens your distance from your enemy. Type A. ~Combo type adjusted to be used with continuous usage. Type B. ~Fire power type with improved power. Type C. SP:17 ~Balance type with a more stable performance by consuming less. • Reflex >Fires some reflecting bullets on an enclosed area. Enemies inside the area will receive damage overtime(up to 5 hits). Total damage is almost equal to multishot or barrage's total damage. Type A. SP: 23 ~Adjusted type that can be used for long battles by holding consumed SP. Type B. SP:27 ~Type meant for continuous usage by shortening cool down. Type C. SP:27 ~Endure type adjusting the placing time to be longer. ~pm me if you want some info on how to build a decent gunslinger on pvp (skill wise). This will be a bit complicated since you'll be using different skill sets depending on what's your opponent's class. You can beat ppl with better gears using these skill sets. Credits -@Grawrz for Trap Gunner's Blast Trigger and Sniper skill branches, SP usage and neat skill description -@niteshade999 for Gunslinger skill branches. Advance classes FAQ (to be updated) Q: Will my jxp be reset after advancing my class? A: No. You'll have a separate jxp for advance classes. Your jxp from ranger will remain there, same for your skills. Q: What advance class should i choose? A: Sniper if you want some range, Gunslinger if you want to fight head on with short ranged skills. Gambit is kinda hard to use so i dont recommend it as main class. Trap gunner is mainly for support.

The Independent Bangladesh 17.07.2017
Doubts have surfaced over the holding of a 4G/LTE licensing auction as the Bangladeshi National Board of Revenue has demanded SIM replacement tax from the four telecoms operators in the country. Grameenphone, Robi, and Banglalink have spent BDT 320 bln on the 3G rollout, having earned a total of BDT 60 bln in the last three years. Banglalink, from March 2007 through June 2011 released 7,210,834 SIM cards in the domestic market. The operator reported those SIMs in the SIM replacement section, and thus evaded VAT worth BDT 5,324,045,000. Up until March 2015, the amount stands at BDT 6.13 bln.
Doubts have surfaced over the holding of 4G licencing auction as National Board of Revenue demanded SIM replacement tax from the four telecom operators, industry insiders said. The operators—Grameenphone, Robi, Banglalink and Airtel—lost the legal battle at the National Board of Revenue's (NBR) VAT appellate tribunal, which asked the operators on June 5 to pay a total of Tk 2,048 crore within 90 working days, officials said. The NBR has also forwarded fresh notice to the mobile phone operators, demanding Tk 850 crore as SIM replacement tax. According to the fresh notice, the NBR has demanded Tk 850 crore from the four mobile phone operators, alleging that they had dodged the amount as SIM replacement tax between July 2012 and June 2015. The telecom operators said in 2013 that they had written to the government to resolve the problem before holding 3G auction. Following this, the government formed a committee, which found 9–10 per cent irregularities over the disputed SIM replacement. The operators then agreed to pay as per the committee's directive. A member of the committee told The Independent that the NBR had kept its mum on the issue before the 3G auction, but backtracked to its earlier position after the auction. "Such attitude is a big hurdle in earning the faith of foreign investors," he said. TIM Nurul Kabir, secretary general of the Association of Mobile Telecom Operators of Bangladesh (AMTOB) and also a member of the committee, told The Independent that Tk 250 crore to Tk 300 crore was claimed at that time as SIM replacement tax. The NBR, however, declined to agree to the amount after the 3G auction, he added. The Large Taxpayers Unit (value added tax) of the NBR maintained that the issue was discussed after noticing the fact that the telecom operators had dodged supplementary duty and value added tax on SIM replacement. Thus, it was not possible to reduce the tax amount, it noted. When asked whether the NBR's demand will hinder the holding of 4G auction, Nurul Kabir said: "Of course, it will. The investors planning to invest here will not be interested to do so anymore due to such a burden. There was nothing to say if the NBR's demand was genuine." "The government is working towards building a digital society. If it is fruitful, Bangladesh will become a role model for third-world countries. The mobile operators have been working with this notion. There is no alternative without 4G service to this effect," he added. Nurul Kabir also said that it was "illogical" to demand tax after the biometric registration for mobile phones last year. There was no chance for irregularities after biometric registration as the identity of a subscriber was checked with his/her national identity database, he added. As per AMTOB data, Grameenphone, Robi and Banglalink have spent a total of Tk 32,000 crore for 3G roll out. They have earned a total of Tk 6,000 crore in the last three years from 3G services. The return on investment (ROI) is very low though 3G network coverage reached 65 per cent of the population. Only 18 per cent of the subscribers are using 3G service. According to NBR, from July 2009 to December 2011, the largest operator Grameenphone evaded VAT worth of Tk 1 thousand, 23 crore, 23 lakh 31 thousand. The second largest operator Banglalink, from March 2007 to June 2011 released 70 lakh 21 thousand 834 SIMs in the market. The operators showed those SIM as replacement SIM and evaded VAT worth of Tk 532 crore 41 lakh 45 thousand. Up until March 2015, the amount stands at Tk 613 crore. Robi, from March 2007 to June 2011 released a total of 51 lakh 81 thousand 797 SIMs in the market. They evaded VAT worth of Tk 414 crore 54 lakh by showing those SIMs as replacement SIM. NBR from its large tax unit (LTU) issued a demand note in May 18, 2015 to the operator. Airtel from July 2007 to December 2009 evaded VAT worth of Tk 78 crore 78 lakh 24 thousand in the name of SIM replacement. All four operators have lost against their respective appeals.

Love becomes adoration and a drink.
Depression makes each day worse with anticipation as all seems to shatter with forgotten birthdays even my own, because anxiety is the one which rides the dawn, allowing the seasons to change rather than my own mass. All pills are scattered and it's as if I were to take one it would tell me where to leave and I even wonder which natural to even go for, as in the morning as I flick through catalogues Kate had left, hurrying off somewhere, brushing my teeth in the meantime sometime in the afternoon, watching how each collection seems to be more natural but neither do I seem thrilled from the trend of bright haired colours as I had seemed to left that back in my twenties and nothing seems sacred anymore, besides the rattling anxiety
If mania seems to have depression and anxiety, why do we even call it mania, but that's becomes it comes with a bunch of bouquets when the GP already transfers you on and asks if you're delusional.
Sometimes I wonder upon my own thinking, how far does my mind even go and what do I even recall these past four years and when had I lost my memories and which ones had been rebuilt? I wonder how much can they tell from us not speaking as all is written down without us knowing.
Morals in florals. He showed up in a floral suit three-piece, I showed up in a gray one, staring, laying on the grass from below, watching him approach me and lit a cigarette for himself from my mouth, shy to kiss. And it's as if we're both tracing steps back, while looking at each other, not knowing which side would be the actual future. I don't understand why can't I feel his hand when he touches mine and how come his body isn't mine and if we die and we're all together, would life be the isolation cocoon which makes sure that the body will restrict us from being one with another person? So is it why we're so lonely and we think that love is never enough, that we pierce ourselves and exchange blood just to try and think in the same mind? I wonder how many times do we all even register the same thoughts and what would the most exact repeating thought be and would it even be at a specific time and how long would it even take to register how to bend the knees the wrong direction to have some sense of long during pain, since we've got to break free.
And I don't know how would I even manage to reply to anything like the polaroids he's got which seem old enough for me to recall, as I can see his thoughts plastered and I wonder if one fears unrequited love and if that then transfers to the partner because by the end of the day we cannot ever reply to the mistakes we've made and we can only listen to what they would have to say.
"How do you convince yourself that someone is still open and that the skies are just as pink? That all the scenarios in your head will one day make sense and everything will fall into some blissful for you place?
But would it even be close to bliss for the other person as well? How can you guess ones happiness from just knowing your own?
And I will never know the pain which the other goes through. How silent it is.
How odd it had felt to come across them, recalling how Jamie had told me he had gotten that jacket from Edie Sedgwick from some auction and ended up taking Kate's clothes off. It seemed far too intimate, to take such jacket and put it on someone, something far too intimate and far too stale in the smell of print just like any reported No Wow orgy in the metro discarded at some train. Yet, I could see it because when we don't have enough time we wrap our fantasies into our daily life when we're not happy or our teeth are chained. By the end of the day we push life, death and desire in one because we think we're not worth more than minute.
That's what I had thought." Jack said, already smoking a cigarette as we both sat on the grass lawn and it was more than odd to talk about Kate with me in a bathrobe, hair wet with a shower I could not recall and the phone calls glistering from earlier and all the memories will be of winter when I will not have the courage to understand myself and speak.
And the night sky will turn midnight blue at four am.
"Paul is in a coma. What the fuck do I do?"
"He's really not waking up, man." The one voice on the phone, as if holding a dialogue with themselves, calling me again as Jack fiddles with his curly hair, watching ahead and he's much taller than I would expect a building to be, as I press my head against the walls of the kitchen which should be filled with a joy I could not offer, as I can see Kate spread her legs again to excite some soul which I could never be, as the flashes keep getting taken and photos will be discarded to be avoided, feelings played with as if I were too scattered to even properly get turned on from my own inner demons and it only falls under the rug under what does a man really want. Because I would never be able to answer honestly why had I given Jack those photos, because I had never explained any magazine shoot and neither would I explain treasuring some woman's naked photos in an Edie Sedgewick jacket.
"He's really not waking up."
and I haven't drank the medication today, so I think of that said Paul, pressing his head heavier into a pillow, thrusting in, turned on and once I'd come he'd wake up, turn around and thank me that I had fulfilled his fantasy.
Maybe that's why I had taken the photos.
I think what I specifically like about TBASTUIF (xD) is that it's very fluid when it comes to from whose point of view is it, it's surreal and it has all these parallel, dream universes and at the same time the sort of main line which is now after Jamie's stag party and into his married life, so it has frankly everything. I forgot that I started writing a Jamie chapter and I ended up writing today/yesterday a chapter from Jack's point of view and I didn't want to have Jamie's chapter and I pretty much went, I can fucking write everything in here. I'm really being honest.
So I just had a bit of an odd monologue from Jack, which was supposed to be the next chapter. Same goes for the Jamie phone call. I was awfully tired today and when I was napping I have weird thoughts when I started falling asleep, sort of like shallow bizarre dreaming as well, which was what do you do when you can't wake someone up and I guess my mind recalled how I recalled xD the whole sleeping fetish and kind of the whole fucking dead people topic was in my head and I was like, shit, that ain't too consensual and I guess because of the whole people allowing to submit themselves to cannibalism and all, I figured same would be for sleep. It also plays in that these things happen when you're fucked up. I'm pretty much waiting for an appointment to get medication for bipolar, so it's also a bit of an outcry and hyperbole in this case to raise that you shouldn't really go untreated for long if you can, that you're fucked up untreated, yeah, I can look after myself, but it's hard when frankly all that's left is fucking waiting for a slot, y'know.
I don't remember roughly when I started writing the beginning of this Jamie chunk. Looks like I was having some heavy mania with depression, so I'll take that as an explanation because I really like that I talk about mental health here a lot, so yeah.
Throwback to Hince's variety of hair dyes.
I remember back the NHS would give these questionnaires to fill in and etc, so it's more of a wave to that.
When I get depressed I think too much and my own mind becomes toxic, sometimes I force myself to be depressed when I write, like tonight I kind of set up a list to make sure that everything would be captured from the notes in the way I had wanted and I guess it's interesting how usually when I do notes they become the shortest scenes to be honest xD
A few days ago I had recalled for some reason Jamie taking photos of Kate in the Edie jacket so I ended up thinking that it's a good scene or something interesting to write about, so I nurtured that thought and it took me a good while to decide where it would fit best (jeez, even these notes are out of order xD) (I literally saluted at Callie's "this is fucked up" to reading the chapter, I did good).
I remember and in general I feel a bit confused on how come even when we find someone or people, like we still can share everything besides dreaming, death and etc, why does life have to be a bitchy single sort of advocate and one of those why do we dream alone thoughts end up to be honest being, why can't I feel what Callie feels and vice versa, which I described in detail here (I kind of go through years asking that question in stories in different ways since life is supposed to be single for some fucked up way and isn't too couple or poly catering). And on that note I was thinking what if it's the body which holds us up because I got asked what does happen after death and that got me thinking since I kind of recently became more religious/spiritual if you must, so I mused on it because supposedly mediums say heaven exists and I just replied, I think it's much more complex, so I was thinking on it, how I thought it's more spiritual, soul, much less physical, kind of like when you encounter something, so I think it's more closer to that. I'm more of a psychological torture in the mind rather than physical, I don't have the need or feel it soothing or anything, but I still described the kind of feel you get to feel alive, like I would squeeze my hands to get back to reality rather than pain.
Also the whole partner thing, the thinking also falls under those thoughts and hypothesis.
The Edie story kind of echoed with the No Wow orgy for me, but who knows and talking of that Edie kind of echoes with the recent Kate/Jamie photoshoot, which frankly is rather bad and frankly ended up in a bunch of jokes from me and Callie. It's really not flattering to either of them. The other Kate photoshoot which was released around the same time (lazy to google the name) is rather good. I love Kate photoshoots, which is frankly very obvious (I'm tired so I'm typing same letters twice, need to wrap this up xD)
When you're depressed the time distortion is rather high and I used that because I was getting anxious writing and it just made the chapter more mentally health real really xD
I looked at the sky, got inspired, midnight blue shout out to Ezra Koenig.
Fuck Jack's new haircut and this is set in my head around Blunderbuss +/- and he's hot there. (You can tell I'm dead honest tired and writing short explanations but frankly as they should be now instead of beating around the bush xD)
I decided on the kitchen coz they went there and Jamie started thinking of it, therefor he shot her in the kitchen here (I won't lie to claim if a location was given there in the Edie story xD) Sexuality is fucked up and kind of not being able to talk and head out of the closet, fucks you up, that's what the story is about really, I'm so honest even I didn't know that xD
I like ending chapters in a circle sort of thing, besides the part where before Jack comes it's separate, but still, good ending circular explanation. I'm off xD
I hope you enjoyed it and please tell me if you did :3

text: Singaporean enterprises eye Vietnamese market By Minh Tam Consumers at SC Vivo City shopping mall, a joint venture of Saigon Co.op Investment Development JSC and Singapore-based Mapletree Investments Pte Ltd – PHOTO: MINH TAM HCMC – Many small and medium Singaporean enterprises consider Vietnam an attractive market and are planning to expand in the country, according to a survey commissioned by the Singapore Business Federation and conducted by HSBC. The survey polled more than 1,000 enterprises in Singapore, with 86% of them being small and medium ones with annual revenue of US$100 million and less than 200 employees. Singaporean firms have invested heavily in the ASEAN region, with Vietnam being one of their key markets thanks to the growth of the consumer goods market and the country's healthy investment environment. Of the surveyed companies, more than three-quarters said they already had a footprint in Vietnam and 30% intended to further expand there in the next two years. Over the past few years, Singapore has been a large investor in Vietnam. According to data from the Ministry of Planning and Investment, Singaporean firms registered to invest US$2.41 billion in Vietnam in 2016, accounting for 10% of the country's total foreign direct investment (FDI). Last year, Singapore was the third largest source of FDI in Vietnam, injecting more than US$5.3 billion, after South Korea and Japan. According to HSBC, in the coming period, Vietnamese enterprises will have more opportunities to cooperate with Singaporean companies, which are in need of distributors and partners….

It's easy to say what you believe in behind closed doors but what about when you are out in public. As the world gets louder about what they believe in it's time that Christians and parents who believe in spanking, (not beating their kids) controlled discipline, speak up for what the Bible says.
Too many opinions about it not being the correct way to discipline! It is the Christian way and IT does work when consistent and not done in anger. As Christians we cannot just sit back and watch the world tell us how to raise our children when the answer lies in the Word not the world.
The problem has been not being consistent which in turn leads to anger in discipline and that is where the problem begins because then you get mad and see red. Don't beat them down with words or an object or your hands, Train them up in peace, love and the rod of correct - I call this my paddle! ! It is better to walk away and take a breather from any situation if you are angry and get over it before dealing with it...disciplining children should be no different. Walk away for a moment; don't keep saying stupid stuff and expect things to not blow up in your face. Take a moment, get over it, think reasonably and then deal with it in peace. If you spank in anger you impart anger; spank in peace and surety that you know "Spare the Rod..." then you impart peace. It works!

Sections | Local cheesemakers fear smaller market slice with Europe trade deal
Given the choice between purchasing local cheese or a wider range of even slightly less expensive European cheese, which would you buy? By Andrew Coppolino
It's a question many artisanal cheese producers across Canada are asking in light of the CETA trade agreement due to come into effect in July.
The Canada-European Union Comprehensive and Economic Trade Agreement (CETA) will have different impacts on different agriculture sectors. While the agreement will likely be good for pork producers, cheesemakers are concerned because CETA will mean that an additional 18,000 tonnes of cheese a year will eventually be allowed into the country tariff-free.
The issue of trade gained more momentum given U.S. President Donald Trump's comments regarding NAFTA and Canadian dairy earlier this week.
'We are in jeopardy'
"CETA is good for some parts of the industry but the dairy sector is pulling the short end," said Adam van Bergeijk of Mountainoak Cheese in New Hamburg.
"We are in jeopardy. We're getting bombarded with products from Europe where the producers are subsidized. That's why they can make cheaper products."
Mountainoak has been operating since 1981, but van Bergeijk said they are preparing for a challenge.
"I think we're going to lose between four to five per cent of our income as a farm. But as a cheesemaker, we're going to lose between 10 and 20 percent. It might end up that I have to fire people, which I don't like, but I'm not going to make it this way."
Currently, Canada allows about 20,000 tonnes of cheese into the country tariff free annually. About two-thirds of that is allocated to the European Union. Canada, of course, has access to the European market with CETA, but local cheesemakers likely couldn't make a dent: The entire nation produces roughly 460,000 tonnes of cheese, while EU cheese exports alone total 790,000 tonnes.
Rather than a subsidy from a government, Canadian supply management for the milk used to make cheese operates on a quota system based on domestic consumer demand. It ensures stable prices for dairy farmers and, many say, allows small family farms to compete.
'Room to grow'
Will Makxam at River's Edge Goat Dairy in Arthur, Ont., has a different view. While he's using milk that is not under the supply management regulation of cow dairy, he still faces competition from European cheese producers.
"We've always had a concern that European cheeses have been slowly creeping into the market, but we model our cheeses from European cheeses," said Makxam, adding quickly that so far, competition hasn't hurt.
But with more European cheeses on the market, the question for him is: Will customers go for that, especially if it is cheaper?
"On the other hand, it increases the awareness of different cheeses to the North American market and if anything our sales have gone up," he said.
Eight years ago, River's Edge made only three different cheeses; now they produce over 20, many of which are sold at the Kitchener Market.
"Introducing more dynamic cheeses means that people are going to be more aware. I think there's tons of room in Ontario to grow."
'Not an even playing field'
Ruth Klahsen of Monforte Dairy in Stratford isn't so sure. She said that CETA could mean that local cheesemakers can't compete and grow.
"The European price point is so much less than ours is. I just think it's not an even playing field. The consumer has to understand that when they make decisions about how they are going to spend their dollars," Klahsen said.
Agricultural subsidies make European cheese less expensive to make. Payments in the tens of billions of Canadian dollars – 38 per cent of the EU budget – are made directly to EU farmers to ensure them a safety net and are granted in the form of basic income support not associated with production, according to publications of the European Commission.
"About 25 to 30 percent of what we pay for milk is what they pay," Klahsen said. "And there are more subsidies than just on the cost of the milk. I don't have an opinion about whether that is the right thing to do or the wrong thing to do. I just don't think the playing fields are even."
Klahsen wants cheese shoppers to understand that fact when they buy European cheeses.
"When customers buy my cheese, I need to figure out how to pay my farmers enough for their milk that they can make a living, and I need to figure out how to pay my staff a living wage. My cost is higher than the cost of the European cheesemakers."
As for the industry's growth, Klahsen said CETA will slow local cheese production and prevent investment in developing new local cheese companies. "To create sustainable farming and practices and as far as the long-term health of our agriculture goes, we should be creating more artisanal industries in Canada and that will be impeded by this trade agreement," she says.
Van Bergeijk at Mountainoak agreed the impetus toward local is critical.
"Always try to support your local economy because a part will flow back to you," he said.

EDINA, Minn. – Feb. 2, 2016 – The nation's leading scorer last week, a sensational goaltender who continues to climb the NCAA's all-time shutout charts and a clutch freshman highlight the women's Western Collegiate Hockey Association (WCHA) Players of the Week for Jan. 25-31, 2016. The honorees are: North Dakota senior forward Meghan Dufault (Offensive Player of the Week), Wisconsin junior goaltender Ann-Renée Desbiens (Defensive Player of the Week) and Minnesota Duluth freshman forward Morgan Morse (Rookie of the Week).
Meghan Dufault, Sr., F
North Dakota (Winnipeg, Manitoba)
Dufault was the country's top scorer last week, factoring in nearly 75 percent of North Dakota's offense with a goal and four assists as the eighth-ranked Fighting Hawks secured a five-point weekend. The senior from Winnipeg, Manitoba handed out her first assist in Friday's series opener against Minnesota State, collecting one of two helpers on Layla Marvin's third-period, game-winning goal. Dufault then contributed to four of UND's goals in a 5-5 tie Saturday, drawing the Fighting Hawks even with the first marker of the game before assisting on three others – including a short-handed score and the game-tying goal with less than three minutes left in regulation. In addition to her NCAA-high four assists and five points, she finished the weekend with 10 shots on goal, a WCHA-best 30 face-off wins and a +2 rating. With 76 career helpers, Dufault also passed Michelle Karvinen for fourth in program history. This is Dufault's second WCHA weekly award of the 2015-16 season and fourth career accolade (including a pair of Rookie of the Week honors).
Also nominated: Dani Cameranesi, Jr., F, Minnesota (scored NCAA-best 12th power-play goal of season and assisted on overtime game-winner in No. 3 UMN's 2-1 win at No. 7 Bemidji State on Friday); Emily Clark, So., F, Wisconsin (tied for NCAA lead with three goals, while adding an assist, in No. 2 UW's sweep of visiting St. Cloud State).
Ann-Renée Desbiens, Jr., G
Wisconsin (La Malbaie, Québec)
Desbiens' latest string of consecutive shutouts – a pair of 3-0 blankings over St. Cloud State – lifted her into third on the NCAA's all-time list with 31 career clean sheets. In addition, Desbiens now has 14 shutouts this season alone, matching her own program record (shared with U.S. Olympian Jessie Vetter). This past weekend, the junior from La Malbaie, Québec stopped all 28 shots she faced – 15 on Saturday and another 13 on Sunday. Desbiens continues to lead the nation in save percentage (.966), goals-against average (0.62) wins (24) and shutouts, while the No. 2 Badgers lead the country in scoring defense (0.57 goals allowed per contest). This is Desbiens' fifth WCHA weekly award of the 2015-16 season (second-consecutive) and her 12th career accolade (including three Rookie of the Week honors).
Also nominated: Sydney Baldwin, So., D, Minnesota (had one goal and one assist, while helping hold No. 7 Bemidji State to two goals on the weekend as No. 3 UMN earned a road sweep); Halli Krzyzaniak, Jr., D, North Dakota (recorded a career-high three points on two goals and one assist in No. 8 UND's 5-5 tie Saturday, while finishing the weekend with a team-leading +4 rating).
Morgan Morse, Fr., F
Minnesota Duluth (Lakeville, Minnesota)
Morse led all NCAA freshmen (and tied for the nation's overall lead) with three goals, including the game-winner Saturday evening for Minnesota Duluth. After entering the weekend with one goal in her first 26 collegiate games, Morse cut into visiting Ohio State's lead with her first score of the weekend – a third-period tally in Friday's series opener. Saturday, the rookie from Lakeville, Minn. bookended UMD's scoring in a 4-3 triumph. Morse gave the Bulldogs a 1-0 lead 2:16 into the game, then snapped a 3-3 tie with just 1:54 remaining in regulation on a wrist shot from the circle. She finished the series with nine shots on goal and a +2 rating. This is Morse's first career WCHA weekly award.
Also nominated: Sam Cogan, Fr., F, Wisconsin (scored a goal, had two assists and led the WCHA with a +5 rating during No. 2 UW's sweep of St. Cloud State); Charly Dahlquist, Fr., F, North Dakota (tallied an assist and a +1 rating as No. 8 UND earned five points); Jordan McLaughlin, Fr., F, Minnesota State (recorded a career-high three points, with two goals and one assist, as MSU earned a 5-5 tie Saturday at No. 8 North Dakota).

The Hotel was nice and comfortable, however, the nights that we were staying there, they were doing construction work which was quite disturbing. Just outside of the bar area, major drilling and noise were taking place in the evening, 9-11:00 pm, while people were trying to enjoy themselves. It was quite disturbing and conversation was impossible. Otherwise, the rooms were nice and the service was good.

My husband and I had stayed at the NY Palace 15 years ago and coming back was nice. Caroline booked us a beautiful room and service was great. The location cannot be beat!! The only issue I had was waiting in line for check-in. We waited more than 30 minutes to check in - the attendant said they were having computer problems. It seems the hotel is understaffed at the check-in desk as there was constantly a line at the front desk every time we walked through the lobby. Overall, the staff was very nice and helpful and the hotel post-renovations is very elegant and modern.

The New York Palace was a beautiful hotel with a fantastic location for walking around NYC. Rooms were spacious, quite, beds were very comfortable and the food was very good. We stayed in a corner 2 bedroom suite that was beautiful and had everything you could need. Check in was quick and the clerk was friendly as were all that we came in contact with personally. Had drinks in the beautiful lounge area and the wait staff was excellent. It is a busy place with people coming and going all the time. I have nothing negative to say about the Palace, our stay was very pleasant and relaxing. I would only recommend to them that they make more of an effort to greet people as they come in the door. Doorman and staff in the lobby just don't acknowledge you at all and seem to look right through you. That is just my personal preference. I would definitely stay there again.

We had the best stay at Lotte Palace. From checking in early, getting upgraded, finding out we had 2x the breakfast credit than we expected, and all the tiny extras made our stay wonderful.

As a physician engaged in a busy child and adolescent psychiatry practice, I see far too many teenagers with symptoms of anxiety or depression, problems with substance abuse or self-injurious behavior because they were not yet mature enough for sex. "Accepting attitudes" about sexual behavior under the family's roof may reduce conflict between parents and their teenagers, but at what cost to the emotional well-being of our kids?
All of us have been shocked by the deadly rampage of the Norwegian mass murderer, Anders Breivik, who killed 77 people. The question is, "Are we shocked by the fact that Anders grew up as a fatherless child?" Anders was abandoned by his father, Jens Breivik, when he was only one year old. If we know our history and the social science statistics, this information should not surprise us. Some of the most famous killers in human history grew up in fatherless homes: Adolf Hitler, Saddam Hussein, Billy the Kid, Mark Lepine and Charles Manson to name a few. Crime authorities are well aware of fatherlessness in criminal profiling.
It's finally happened. American gamers are jealous of us Aussies. For countless years, our cousins across the Pacific have laughed at our obscene game prices, our draconian games classification regime, and our barren release schedules. But it's getting better to be an Aussie gamer every day. For starters, it looks like we will finally get an R18+ games classification after countless years of campaigning.
A Sydney man could become the first sperm donor in NSW, and possibly Australia, to have his name forcibly removed from his child's birth certificate in a court battle that will test new same-sex parenting laws. The man yesterday pleaded for a judge not to agree to the request by the birth mother's lesbian ex-partner, who has taken him and the NSW Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages to court. ''The person who's going to suffer is my daughter. She knows that her father is going to be removed from her life. She's going to have three mothers and no father and I think the whole thing is an absolute outrage.''
New research is revealing the havoc caused by HIV and the drugs used to suppress it. HIV/AIDS has been around for 30 years and thanks to anti-retroviral drugs, the virus no longer has to be a death sentence. But longer lives are coming with a cruel catch; many long-term HIV survivors are ageing far too soon. Conditions such as dementia, brittle bones, frailty and cardiovascular disease are happening to people in their thirties, forties and fifties.
Barry O'Farrell has defended his decision to consider a bill to remove ethics classes from schools as a matter of ''process'' that will be afforded to every piece of legislation introduced to Parliament. But the Premier's comments prompted an attack from Labor after the government agreed it would also consider bills proposing to ban abortion in NSW and allow shooting in national parks ''on their merits''. Mr O'Farrell met the Reverend Fred Nile, of the Christian Democratic Party, last Thursday.
Mitchell Drage understands the complexities of not only getting indigenous kids into some of the country's most remote schools but keeping them there. Whether they be children who find themselves at a funeral for someone they've never met in a place they've never been, or initiated teenage boys who believe school is no place for men, the challenges to keep up school attendance in the outback remain all-consuming. But a new software program being tested in the Kimberley and earmarked for schools such as Nullagine, perched on the edge of the Great Sandy Desert 1364km northeast of Perth, is changing long-accepted ways.
There's been a long-standing, slightly confused and often-broken taboo on reporting suicides. Many believe – perhaps without basis – that just talking about suicide could lead to 'copycats'. But all the important players agree that it should be discussed, and today the Australian Press Council has released new standards for media coverage of suicides. The Punch spoke to Press Council chair Julian Disney about the changes and what he hopes they'll achieve.
'Sydney or the bush' is an old Australian expression meaning to bet bravely, an all-or-nothing gamble. It matches the perception many Victorians have of New South Welshmen as brash, opportunistic, risk-takers, just as Sydneysiders see Melburnians as conservative, cautious and risk averse. Betting figures supplied by the totalisator monolith, Tabcorp, suit these stereotypes. While the average bet size in both states is approximately the same - $11.35 on the NSW Tote and $12.05 in Victoria - NSW punters clearly prefer to gamble on a win, rather than each way.
Seventy people who call the streets and underpasses of inner Sydney home will be put into permanent housing under a new scheme, as figures show a jump in the number of homeless. Platform 70, a project supported by state and federal governments, will involve placing the rough sleepers from Woolloomooloo into heavily subsidised private rental accommodation, to be managed by community housing providers and supported by a range of social services.
The Baillieu government is under extreme pressure to overhaul or dump the nation's most extensive charter of human rights as senior legal figures and institutions highlight weaknesses in the law. Former Victorian governor James Gobbo has joined a chorus of criticism in submissions to a parliamentary inquiry. Sir James, a former Supreme Court judge, submitted to the inquiry that in health cases the law added nothing to say a patient had a right to proper care when the sick were already protected by family, the health sector and charities. Sir James said that even examples provided by the Victorian Equal Opportunity and Human Rights Commission failed to furnish evidence the previous Labor government's charter was necessary.
A federal Labor backbencher who wants his party's gay marriage supporters to join the Greens is facing a backlash from his grassroots support base. John Murphy, a western Sydney MP for the seat of Reid, last week said he did not believe there was overwhelming public support for same-sex marriage and wants a referendum on the matter. Mr Murphy said Labor members who support marriage equality should "join the Greens".
More than 575 members have now joined the campaign for better gay rights at St Mary's Anglican Girls School in Perth. The Facebook group swelled from about 40 members after The Sunday Times revealed on the weekend that past and present students of the leading Perth girls' school had launched a campaign for the right to bring same-sex partners to their school formal. A number of current and ex-St Mary's students have jumped to the school's defence on the page, while those of other schools have stepped forward to say the issue is more widespread.
It's been a bit of a Bizzaro World in Australian federal politics in recent weeks. First we had the opposition saying they were concerned about the human rights of vulnerable people who will be expelled to Malaysia under the asylum seeker people-swap arrangement.
Police in northern Iraq say a car bomb has exploded outside a Christian church in the ethnically-divided city of Kirkuk, wounding at least 23 people. Authorities said the blast Tuesday damaged the church as well as homes in the area. As many as 1.2 million Christians lived in Iraq before the 2003 invasion to oust leader Saddam Hussein. However, many have since fled abroad in the wake of stepped-up violence by al-Qaida-linked Muslim insurgents.
Thousands continue to stream out of drought ravaged Somalia towards doubtful sanctuary over the border in Kenya, many leaving belongings, livestock and children in their wake. Bandits are also targeting the refugees, with theft, rape and assault on the increase.

In 2009 under the theme "Sustaining Design Excellence" the Month of Design consisted of more than 100 individual events, among them Conference 09, Design EXPO – Brands & Science exhibition, Design in the City, National Design Awards ceremony and Eat & Drink Design. The 2008 event was entitled "Experience". In 2007, the Month of Design found inspiration in "Mediterranean identities".
The event's official publication, the Month of Design Catalogue provides key information on domestic and international trends in product, interior, and fashion design. It features award winners, innovative designers, architects, fashion designers, and Slovene and foreign brands presented at the design conference. The Big Design Directory formed an important part of the catalogue – a database of designers and companies involved in creative industries is now available only online.
Full of outstanding events, the Month of Design has formed a frame of a fixed annual programme alongside a variety of accompanying presentations, fashion shows, and installations.
As part of the Month of Design, Zavod Big hosts its annual design conference with eminent guests – internationally active and engaged practitioners – from designers and architects to managers and consultants to planners and strategists. In 2009 invited lecturers presented their work and visions within the framework of the theme "Sustaining Design Excellence".
Design Expo brings together exhibitors from a wide, interdisciplinary array of design spheres and activities, including companies and institutions, faculties and students.
Design in the City offers an opportunity to showcase design work either through presentation or exhibition at a chosen locations in the city centre. It aims to inhabit public space with products and events, to promote quality design, and thus contribute to a creative appearance of the city.
Bestowed at the grand opening of the festival, the National Design Awards consist of Designer of the Year, Interior of the Year, Success Story, Timeless Slovenian Design, and Young Prospective Designers award.
