Australian supermarket chain under fire for online job ad that specified "no Indians or Asians" should apply .
Coles said ad was placed by cleaning subcontractor without its knowledge .
Coles said subcontractor has been fired and it will retrain contractor on equal employment policies .
Tasmania's Anti-Discrimination Commissioner will investigate Coles, website, and subcontractor . | (CNN) -- One of Australia's largest supermarket chains has come under fire for an online job ad that specified that "no Indians or Asians" should apply. The ad, which sought cleaners at a Coles supermarket near the Tasmanian capital of Hobart, sparked condemnation after it was posted Sunday, according to Australian media reports. Coles said the offending ad was placed by a cleaning subcontractor without the company's knowledge, in a written statement from spokesperson Jim Cooper. "Coles is a proud, equal-opportunity employer and at no time have we ever issued the directives contained in this ad." The company said it was "extremely concerned to learn of the ad and its contents" and has terminated the subcontractor's services as a result. It said it will also retrain its cleaning contractor on equal opportunity employment policies. The ad has since been removed from the popular Gumtree classifieds website. "I'm certainly going to look at commencing an investigation into what's happening—the role of Gumtree, what Coles' role was, and find out more details about the subcontractor," said Tasmania's Anti-Discrimination Commissioner Robin Banks. She said the ad was clearly "discriminatory on the basis of race" and a breach of the Tasmania Anti-Discrimination Act. Banks said she would examine whether Coles "fulfilled its obligations to ensure its agents do not engage in discrimination," while Gumtree may have breached the Act by permitting the publication of discriminatory advertising, she added. Banks said that while she has encountered discriminatory job ads in newspapers and other websites, this was the first case she has seen involving Gumtree. "It happens every so often," she said, adding that in her experience, newspaper editors have been "very responsive" in improving procedures to vet ads and setting up training for their staff. In addition to media reports, Banks was alerted to the Coles ad through a post to her personal Facebook page. This showed that the community cares about fighting discrimination, she said. "One of the things we're trying to encourage in Australia, especially in Tasmania, is for people to do something about it (discrimination), to report it." India and China are among the most common countries of birth of non-native Australians. According to the 2011 census, 1.4% of the country's population is Indian-born, and 1.5 % hail from mainland China. |

The unique URL is used as a tracking ID, so that the image host can identify exactly what message intended for what specific recipient has been viewed, in addition to the date and host accessing the image. This is why many email reading systems do not show images by default, to protect the reader from having their reading of spam being tracked by the email senders. Cost Many image hosts are free, some do not even require registration. Of the free image hosts, the vast majority are supported by advertisements, mostly on their top pages, thumbnail pages, or "not found" pages. Showing advertisements to users has enabled image size and bandwidth limits to increase. Some free hosts have optional paid image hosting functions, while other hosts offer only paid services. Features and storage available are generally better for paid services, while cost is still much less than the cost of purchasing webhosting to operate a website. Paid services often allow users to have password protected photo albums, customizable skins, and customized subdomains. There are many other paid services available that offer different packages of options, features, and costs. History Before the development of image hosting services, the display and exchange of images on the early public Internet of the 1980s–1990s was a laborious and complex process. Expertise was needed to set up a private file server, to connect it to the Internet, and paying for the potentially expensive dedicated Internet connection. Some experts would provide access to a Unix shell and some file storage, via paid access, free public access, or just made available to a select group of private friends. Uploading of images was accomplished with command-line tools like FTP, or uploading images using slow 14.4 to 33.6 kilobit dialup modem connections and terminal protocols like XMODEM to the server storage.

Tools Image hosts also allow tools such as the ability to create photoblogs/galleries with your images, or add them to a slide show for easier viewing. Some offer more advanced tools such as the ability for anl to ato an image they uploaded, sideloaders, or browser sidebars. Other hosts have introduced novel features such as the ability to automatically resize images down to a user-selected size. A Flickr tool allows one to upload photos using a camera phone with email capability. Identification Hosting services have the potential ability to identify when and where their images are being used. When an image file is accessed, the image host is capable of logging the date and the general numeric internet address of the request.

He left the game after suffering a torn ACL and missed the remainder of the playoffs. After defeating the New England Patriots the Broncos went on to Super Bowl XLVIII where they were defeated by the Seattle Seahawks 43-8. 2014 Harris underwent surgery to repair his partially torn ACL in February and was on schedule to return in July. On May 7, 2014, the Denver Broncos placed a second round tender on Harris that also paid him $2.18 million for 2014. With Harris injured, the Broncos opted to draft Bradley Roby in the first round (31st overall) of the 2014 NFL Draft. They also signed free agent and his former Kansas teammate Aqib Talib and opted not to re-sign longtime veteran Champ Bailey. Head coach John Fox named Harris and Talib the starting cornerbacks to begin the 2014 regular season. On December 7, 2014, Harris recorded a season-high tying five solo tackles, a pass deflection, a sack, and intercepted a pass attempt by Kyle Orton in the Broncos' 24-17 win against the Buffalo Bills. On December 12, 2014, the Denver Broncos signed Harris to a four-year, $42.5 |

other filename's file. Length restrictions Some filesystems restrict the length of filenames. In some cases, these lengths apply to the entire file name, as in 44 characters on IBM S/370. In other cases, the length limits may apply to particular portions of the filename, such as the name of a file in a directory, or a directory name. For example, 9 (e.g., 8-bit FAT in Standalone Disk BASIC), 11 (e.g. FAT12, FAT16, FAT32 in DOS), 14 (e.g. early Unix), 21 (Human68K), 31, 30 (e.g. Apple DOS 3.2 and 3.3), 15 (e.g. Apple ProDOS), 44 (e.g. IBM S/370), or 255 (e.g. early Berkeley Unix) characters or bytes. Length limits often result from assigning fixed space in a filesystem to storing components of names, so increasing limits often requires an incompatible change, as well as reserving more space. A particular issue with filesystems that store information in nested directories is that it may be possible to create a file with a complete pathname that exceeds implementation limits, since length checking may apply only to individual parts of the name rather than the entire name. Many Windows applications are limited to a MAX_PATH value of 260, but Windows file names can easily exceed this limit . From Windows 10, version 1607, MAX_PATH limitations have been removed. Filename extensions Many file systems, including FAT, NTFS, and VMS systems, consider as filename extension the part of the file name that consists of one or more characters following the last period in the filename, dividing the filename into two parts: a base name or stem and an extension or suffix used by some applications to indicate the file type. Multiple output files created by an application use the same basename and various extensions. For example, a compiler might use the extension FOR for source input file (for Fortran code), OBJ for the object output and LST for the listing. Although there are some common extensions, they are arbitrary and a different application might use REL and RPT. Extensions have been restricted, at least historically on some systems, to a length of 3 characters, but in general can have any length, e.g., html. Encoding interoperability There is no general encoding standard for filenames. File names have to be exchanged between software environments for network file transfer, file system storage, backup and file synchronization software, configuration management, data compression and archiving, etc. It is thus very important not to lose file name information between applications. This led to wide adoption of Unicode as a standard for encoding file names, although legacy software might not be Unicode-aware. Encoding indication interoperability Traditionally, filenames allowed any character in their filenames as long as they were file system safe. Although this permitted the use of any encoding, and thus allowed the representation of any local text on any local system, it caused many interoperability issues. A filename could be stored using different byte strings in distinct systems within a single country, such as if one used Japanese Shift JIS encoding and another Japanese EUC encoding. Conversion was not possible as most systems did not expose a description of the encoding used for a filename as part of the extended file information. This forced costly filename encoding guessing with each file access. A solution was to adopt Unicode as the encoding for filenames. In the classic Mac OS, however, encoding of the filename was stored with the filename attributes. Unicode interoperability The Unicode standard solves the encoding determination issue. Nonetheless, some limited interoperability issues remain, such as normalization (equivalence), or the Unicode version in use. For instance, UDF is limited to Unicode 2.0; macOS's HFS+ file system applies NFD Unicode normalization and is optionally case-sensitive (case-insensitive by default.) Filename maximum length is not standard and might depend on the code unit size. Although it is a serious issue, in most cases this is a limited one. On Linux, this means the filename is not enough to open a file: additionally, the exact byte representation of the filename on the storage device is needed. This can be solved at the application level, with some tricky normalization calls. The issue of Unicode equivalence is known as "normalized-name collision". A solution is the Non-normalizing Unicode Composition Awareness used in the Subversion and Apache technical communities. This solution does not normalize paths in the repository. Paths are only normalized for the purpose of comparisons. Nonetheless, some communities have patented this strategy, forbidding its use by other communities. Perspectives To limit interoperability issues, some ideas described by Sun are to: use one Unicode encoding (such as UTF-8) do transparent code conversions on filenames store no normalized filenames check for canonical equivalence among filenames, to avoid two canonically equivalent filenames in the same directory. Those considerations create a limitation not allowing a switch to a future encoding different from UTF-8. Unicode migration One issue was migration to Unicode. For this purpose, several software companies provided software for migrating filenames to the new Unicode encoding. Microsoft provided migration transparent for the user throughout the VFAT technology Apple provided "File Name Encoding Repair Utility v1.0". The Linux community provided “convmv”. Mac OS X 10.3 marked Apple's adoption of Unicode 3.2 character decomposition, superseding the Unicode 2.1 decomposition used previously. This change caused problems for developers writing software for Mac OS X. Uniqueness Within a single directory, filenames must be unique. Since the filename syntax also applies for directories, it is not possible to create a file and directory entries with the same name in a single directory. Multiple files in different directories may have the same name. Uniqueness approach may differ both on the case sensitivity and on the Unicode normalization form such as NFC, NFD. This means two separate files might be created with the same text filename and a different byte implementation of the filename, such as L"\x00C0.txt" (UTF-16, NFC) (Latin capital A with grave) and L"\x0041\x0300.txt" (UTF-16, NFD) (Latin capital A, grave combining). Letter case preservation Some filesystems, such as FAT, store filenames as upper-case regardless of the letter case used to create them. For example, a file created with the name "MyName.Txt" or "myname.txt" would be stored with the filename "MYNAME.TXT". Any variation of upper and lower case can be used to refer to the same file. These kinds of file systems are called case-insensitive and are not case-preserving. Some filesystems prohibit the use of lower case letters in filenames altogether. Some file systems store filenames in the form that they were originally created; these are referred to as case-retentive or case-preserving. Such a file system can be case-sensitive or case-insensitive. If case-sensitive, then "MyName.Txt" and "myname.txt" may refer to two different files in the same directory, and each file must be referenced by the exact capitalization by which it is named. On a case-insensitive, case-preserving file system, on the other hand, only one of "MyName.Txt", "myname.txt" and "Myname.TXT" can be the name of a file in a given directory at a given time, and a file with one of these names can be referenced by any capitalization of the name.

the Propaganda. Upon his return to New York in 1915, he served as a curate at Blessed Sacrament Church in New Rochelle until 1916, when he became a professor of philosophy and liturgy at St. Joseph's Seminary. He later returned to Blessed Sacrament as its pastor in 1921. Episcopacy On December 16, 1937, Eustace was appointed the first Bishop of the newly erected Diocese of Camden, New Jersey, by Pope Pius XI. He received his episcopal consecration on March 25, 1938 from Cardinal Patrick Joseph Hayes, with Bishops Edward Kelly and Stephen Joseph Donahue serving as co-consecrators, at St. Patrick's Cathedral. The new diocese was located in South Jersey and included Atlantic, Camden, Cape May, Cumberland, Salem, and Gloucester Counties. There were then 49 parishes, 31 mission churches, 86 priests, 35 parochial schools, and 100,000 Catholics. Eustace was installed by Archbishop Thomas Walsh at the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception on May 4, 1938. During his installation, he dedicated the diocese to the Virgin Mary. Eustace established a private residency in Collingswood. During his 18 years as bishop, Eustace established St. Mary Catholic Home at Cherry | in the diocese) at Camden in 1950. Also confronted with a shortage of priests, he recruited clergy and seminarians from New York and Ireland. He encouraged a greater involvement of the laity and supported the Holy Name Society. Eustace also promoted special ministries to African Americans and Hispanics. In 1940 he incorporated Catholic Charities into the diocese. Between 1938 and 1956 he founded thirty-one parishes; opened twenty-five missions (sixteen of which later became parishes); established three high schools and expanded six others; established twenty-two elementary schools and expanded fourteen others; and erected fifty churches, thirty rectories, and twenty convents. He increased the number of priests by 109, and the number of Catholics by 100,000. Death Eustace was diagnosed with diabetes in January 1941, and suffered three heart attacks between 1950 and 1955. He was confined to his bed at his residence in Haddonfield by November 1956, and died shortly afterwards at age 69. His Requiem Mass was celebrated by Cardinal James Francis McIntyre on December 15, 1956. He is buried at Calvary Cemetery in Cherry Hill. Legacy Bishop Eustace Preparatory School, a coeducational private high school in Pennsauken Township, New Jersey, is named in his honor.

location. After Route 6 (also named the Scranton/Carbondale Highway), Main Street serves as the borough's other major thoroughfare. It features a slightly older stock of stores, bars, professional offices and homes. One point of major contention in the borough has been a swath of reclaimed coal-mining land south of Commerce Boulevard that was deeded to the borough for public use after the state government cleaned it up. Plans to build a bond-financed municipal golf course on the land launched during the early 2000s were scuttled after some borough council members campaigned against that form of borrowing and won the majority of seats. The land was seized by a local bank after interim loans went unpaid, but because the state stipulated that it has to remain in the hands of a municipality, neighboring borough Dunmore snapped it up. The borough was briefly mentioned in a 2006 episode of NBC's sitcom, The Office, set in nearby Scranton. In the episode, entitled "Take Your Daughter to Work Day", the character, Michael, asks Ryan to retrieve a particular video from his mom's house "in Dickson City". Geography Dickson City is located at (41.465984, -75.625401). According to the United States Census Bureau, the borough has a total area of , all of its land. Interstate 81 has two commercially-important exits in Dickson City—one with Main Avenue and one with the old 6 (the Scranton-Carbondale Highway.) The Viewmont Mall is in both Dickson City and Scranton. The geographic location of the center of business dictates the revenue, according to Pennsylvania tax law. Demographics 2010 As of the census of 2010, there were 6,070 people, 2,703 households, and 1,636 families living in the borough. The population density was 1,264.6 people per square mile (488.3/km²). There were 2,921 housing units at an average density of 608.5 per square mile (237.7/km²). The racial makeup of the borough was 95.9% White, 1% African American, 0.1% Native American, 0.7% Asian, 1.1% from other races, and 1.3% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 3.8% of the population. There were 2,703 households, out of which 22.7% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 43.4% were married couples living together, 12.4% had a female householder with no husband present, and 39.5% were non-families. 33.9% of all households were made up of individuals, and 14.8% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 2.24 and the average family size was 2.86. In the borough the population was spread out, with 18.9% under the age of 18, 62% from 18 to 64, and 19.1% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 42.3 years. The median income for a household in the borough was $31,422, and the median income for a family was $41,394. Males had a median income of $32,174 versus $23,766 for females. The per capita income for the borough was $17,370. About 3.5% of families and 6.9% of the population were below the poverty line, including 6.6% of those under age 18 and 8.7% of those age 65 or over. 2000 As of the census of 2000, there were 6,205 people, 2,692 households, and 1,722 families living in the borough. The population density was 1,317.4 people per square mile (508.7/km²). There were 2,913 housing units at an average density of 618.5 per square mile (238.8/km²). The racial makeup of the borough was 98.82% White, 0.24% African American, 0.06% Native American, 0.26% Asian, 0.21% from other races, and 0.40% | 0.40% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 0.84% of the population. There were 2,692 households, out of which 25.1% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 48.6% were married couples living together, 11.5% had a female householder with no husband present, and 36.0% were non-families. 31.6% of all households were made up of individuals, and 17.3% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 2.30 and the average family size was 2.91. In the borough the population was spread out, with 19.9% under the age of 18, 7.1% from 18 to 24, 28.6% from 25 to 44, 22.8% from 45 to 64, and 21.6% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 41 years. For every 100 females there were 88.4 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 85.6 males. The median income for a household in the borough was $31,422, and the median income for a family was $41,394. Males had a median income of $32,174 versus $23,766 for females. The per capita income for the borough was $17,370. About 3.5% of families and 6.9% of the population were below the poverty line, including 6.6% of those under age 18 and 8.7% of those age 65 or over. Education While the anthracite coal industry was thriving, there were numerous neighborhood schools: the Columbus School on Main Street between Bowman Street and Shaeffer Street, the Jefferson School on Bell Mountain where Center Street meets Laybourne Street, the Lafayette School on Main Street near Pancost Street, the Lincoln School at the corner of Lincoln Street and Grier Street, and the Wilson School at the corner of Boulevard Avenue and Bridge Street. Dickson City Junior High School was on a block on the block between Jackson Street and Jermyn Street and faced Albert Street; Dickson City Senior High School was next door and faced Carmalt Street. As the population declined, the neighborhood schools were closed, and the junior high school became a kindergarten through 8th grade school. In 1969, the Olyphant, Dickson City, and Throop school districts consolidated to form the Mid Valley School District. Dickson City Junior High School became Mid-Valley Junior High School; Dickson City Senior High School became Dickson City Elementary School. Currently, the Mid-Valley School District has a single elementary school, and a single secondary school on Underwood Road in Throop. Johnson Technical Institute is located just over the border in the nearby city, Scranton. Dickson City is the location of one of the family service centers for Commonwealth Charter Academy, an online K-12 free public virtual charter school. Public safety Police department Dickson City Borough is currently served by a full-time police department consisting of both full-time and part-time police officers. The Dickson City Police headquarters is at 901 Enterprise Street. When requested the Lackawanna County Sheriff's Office, Lackawanna County SWAT, the Pennsylvania State Police (Dunmore Barracks), and neighboring municipal jurisdictions will assist borough police officers if additional law enforcement resources are needed. Fire department Eagle Hose Company No.1 provides fire and rescue services to the borough. Eagle Hose Company No. 1 operates 1 fire station (located at 1 Eagle Lane) which houses one ladder company, one engine company, one rescue company, and two support vehicles: an incident command SUV and utility pickup truck. The department is the only fire company in Dickson City Borough and is staffed by 100% volunteer firefighters. The fire company currently has 60 active members under the direction of Fire Chief Matthew Horvath. Eagle Hose Company No. 1 also has mutual aid agreements with neighboring fire departments to provide assistance to their coverage areas when requested. Mutual aid agreements are also in place to have other fire departments provide assistance to Dickson City Borough when requested. Emergency medical services The Dickson City Community Ambulance Association and Pennsylvania Ambulance primarily render emergency medical services (EMS) to borough residents and visitors. The Dickson City Community Ambulance Association currently has three basic life support (BLS) ambulances and one quick response vehicle located at their EMS station located at 2 Eagle Lane in Dickson City. The association is currently staffed by volunteer emergency medical technicians-Basic (EMT-B). Pennsylvania Ambulance is a paid service that currently offers both basic life support (BLS) and advanced life support (ALS) services with 25 ambulances, seven quick response vehicles, one physician response vehicle, one ATV for off-road rescue, one |

is that, like the pickups used on the Fender Jaguar, the coil is surrounded by metal barriers which are designed to reduce electro-magnetic interference such as power line hum. According to the manufacturer, these barriers also help concentrate the magnetic field, allowing weaker magnets to be used, which results in less string pull. Less string pull, in turn, means truer pitch and intonation, and superior sustain. Ratings Four types of Lace Sensor pickups for Stratocaster were originally manufactured (denoted with an * following the model name), followed by five newer models, each with a different output rating and tone. Lace Sensors are also available for Telecaster, Precision Bass, Fender Jazz Bass and Jazz Bass V. Dually A Lace Sensor "Dually" is effectively a double coil unit combining two Lace Sensor single coil pickups in a humbucker configuration. The terminal leads of both pickup coils are accessible individually, so that they can be wired for a coil-splitting option or any other configuration.

These double coil Lace Sensors were used as a standard equipment material on the original Jeff Beck Stratocaster, the Telecaster Plus/Deluxe Plus and the Stratocaster Ultra, manufactured by Fender in the early '90s, as well on some Custom Shop models such as the Set Neck and Contemporary Stratocaster guitars. Usually a humbucker needs to comprise at least two coils with equal output, in order to produce the noise-cancelling effect. Lace Sensors are able to use mismatched coils because both coils are already low in noise even if used as single coils. Lace Alumitone Invented by Jeff Lace and introduced in 2007, Lace Alumitone pickups feature a new design which is aluminum based, rather than copper. |

Best language for Medievalist: French vs. German | German will offer you the greatest variance from what you know already. Some of it does depend on your particular geographical focus (wedgeomatic's suggestion is great for that reason). If you seek to be a career medievalist you will probably need both eventually, so it also depends on whether you want to prioritize geographical breadth or relative ease. You can always pick up French later for reading purposes, which is what I did (although I'm not a medievalist). |

and converted into apartments, and a new rooftop residence was constructed, incorporating the tower. These floors and others were purchased by Dentist Kia Pajouhesh starting in 2003, when he first fell in love with the building and installed his practice on the first floor; he has led the revival and restoration of the building since then, including restoring floodlighting to the tower in 2012, and restoring the boardroom, including its (heritage listed) furniture. Formal one-hour guided tours including a meal are run five times a day. Tours of the tower are amongst the most highly sought after destinations in the annual Melbourne Open House. Design Barlow's design clearly draws heavily on the Tribune Tower in Chicago, Illinois. This design by Raymond Hood won an international competition in 1922, was completed in 1925, and has very similar vertical ribbing, buff coloured cladding, and a stepped Gothic crown complete with flying buttresses also seen on the Manchester Unity. Another more direct inspiration might have been the very similar but less ornate Grace Building in York Street, Sydney designed by Morrow and Gordon, which was completed in 1930 before the Manchester Unity started construction, but both are said to have been inspired by the Tribune Tower. The building is of concrete-encased steel construction, with the exterior cladding consisting of two hundred and fifty tons of terracotta faience tiles. Australian marbles are used extensively on interior walls throughout the building. Two escalators, the first in Melbourne, were installed by Austral Otis to provide access to the basement arcade and first floor from the ground floor arcade (though only one now survives). Three high-speed elevators were installed, capable of speeds of . The building's roof reaches , which was the height limit for buildings in Melbourne at the time of its construction, but the ornamental tower and spire extends a further , as was permitted for non-habitable portions of buildings. The floor size and shape have the ideal dimensions and flexibility for smaller scale businesses or for professional firms that require a smaller operation depth. The distance between façade and the edge of the building allows for smaller rooms along the windows with the regular and narrow mullions enabling flexibility of width. Current tenants Kia Pajouhesh's Smile Solutions dental specialists operate 40 surgical suites spanning across five floors and the multi-level tower of the building. Levels 1 and 10 cater for all general and cosmetic dentistry. Level 11 includes the restored Manchester Unity Building Boardroom, and the original Grand Secretary's office houses the executive offices of Smile Solutions management and patient co-ordinators. Level 12, originally a Wood Marsh Architecture residential penthouse development from the late 1990s has been converted to a dental specialist centre facility. The tower is utilised as the Smile Solutions orthodontic centre. Rob Mills Architects, Andronas Conservation Architects and Paul Bangay landscapers have supervised the restoration of these spaces. Dr Kia Pajouhesh, managing director and principal dentist of Smile Solutions, has been the Chairman of the MUB Owners Corporation since 2003. The Manchester Unity Building is also home to a number of Melbourne's jewellery traders such | a speech. On declaring the building open, Argyle pressed a button which turned on, for the first time, the lights illuminating the tower and spire. As well as numerous shops in the basement, ground and first floor, there was a rooftop restaurant. This was not a successful venture and soon closed. During World War II, it was used by the Australian Army, Victorian Lines of Communication, Southern Command HQ. Once the war was over, the government moved other departments into the building that had been distributed over Melbourne. The building was compulsorily acquired by the Commonwealth in 1947. It became the headquarters for Trans Australia Airlines and centralised offices for the Department of Munitions and Department of Aircraft Production. Alongside Manchester Unity staff, tenants of the building have ranged from Averillite's, a clothing manufacturer, to Rene Henri, a high-society hairstylist, as well as numerous jewellers. Perhaps the most notorious episode in the building's history was the unsolved 1978 murder of three jewellers on the eighth floor. In 1997 the top two floors of the building were bought by a developer and converted into apartments, and a new rooftop residence was constructed, incorporating the tower. These floors and others were purchased by Dentist Kia Pajouhesh starting in 2003, when he first fell in love with the building and installed his practice on the first floor; he has led the revival and restoration of the building since then, including restoring floodlighting to the tower in 2012, and restoring the boardroom, including its (heritage listed) furniture.

the source's financial connection. The term astroturfing is derived from AstroTurf, a brand of synthetic carpeting designed to resemble natural grass, as a play on the word "grassroots". The implication behind the use of the term is that instead of a "true" or "natural" grassroots effort behind the activity in question, there is a "fake" or "artificial" appearance of support. Definition In political science, it is defined as the process of seeking electoral victory or legislative relief for grievances by helping political actors find and mobilize a sympathetic public, and is designed to create the image of public consensus where there is none. Astroturfing is the use of fake grassroots efforts that primarily focus on influencing public opinion and typically are funded by corporations and governmental entities to form opinions. On the internet, astroturfers use software to mask their identity. Sometimes one individual operates through many personas to give the impression of widespread support for their client's agenda. Some studies suggest astroturfing can alter public viewpoints and create enough doubt to inhibit action. In the first systematic study of astroturfing in the United States, Oxford Professor Philip N. Howard argued that the internet was making it much easier for powerful lobbyists and political movements to activate small groups of aggrieved citizens to have an exaggerated importance in public policy debates. Astroturfed accounts on social media do not always require humans to write their posts; one January 2021 study detailed a "set of human-looking bot accounts" used to post political content, which was able to operate automatically for fourteen days (and make 1,586 posts) before being detected and suspended by Twitter. Policies and enforcement Many countries have laws that prohibit more overt astroturfing practices. In the United States, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) may send cease-and-desist orders or require a fine of $16,000 per day for those that violate its "Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising". The FTC's guides were updated in 2009 to address social media and word-of-mouth marketing. According to an article in the Journal of Consumer Policy, the FTC's guides holds advertisers responsible for ensuring bloggers or product endorsers comply with the guides, and any product endorsers with a material connection are required to provide honest reviews. In the European Union, the Unfair Commercial Practices Directive requires that paid-for editorial content in the media provide a clear disclosure that the content is a sponsored advertisement. Additionally, it prohibits those with a material connection from misleading readers into thinking they are a regular consumer. The United Kingdom has the Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations, which prohibits "Falsely representing oneself as a consumer." They allow for up to two years in prison and unlimited fines for breaches. Additionally, the advertising industry in the UK has adopted many voluntary policies, such as the Code of Non-Broadcast Advertising, Sale, Promotion and Direct Marketing. A trade association, the Advertising Standards Authority, investigates complaints of breaches. The policy requires that marketing professionals not mislead their audience, including by omitting a disclosure of their material connection. In Australia, astroturfing is regulated by Section 18 of the Australian Consumer Law, which broadly prohibits "misleading and deceptive conduct". According to the Journal of Consumer Policy, Australia's laws, which were introduced in 1975, are more vague. In most cases, they are enforced through lawsuits from competitors, rather than the regulatory body, the Australian Competition & Consumer Commission. There is also an International Consumer Protection and Enforcement Network (ICPEN). Legal regulations are primarily targeted towards testimonials, endorsements and statements as to the performance or quality of a product. Employees of an organization may be considered acting as customers if their actions are not guided by authority within the company. In October 2018, after denying that they had paid for people to show up in support of a controversial power plant development project in New Orleans, Entergy was fined five million dollars for using astroturf firm The Hawthorn Group to provide actors to prevent real community members' voices from being counted at city council meetings and show false grassroots support. Debate Effectiveness In the book Grassroots for Hire: Public Affairs Consultants in American Democracy, Edward Walker defines "astroturfing" as public participation that is perceived as heavily incented, as fraudulent (claims are attributed to those who did not make such statements), or as an elite campaign masquerading as a mass movement. Although not all campaigns by professional grassroots lobbying consultants meet this definition, the book finds that the elite-sponsored grassroots campaigns often fail when they are not transparent about their sources of sponsorship and/or fail to develop partnerships with constituencies that have an independent interest in the issue. Walker highlights the case of Working Families for Wal-Mart, in which the campaign's lack of transparency led to its demise. A study published in the Journal of Business Ethics examined the effects of websites operated by front groups on students. It found that astroturfing was effective at creating uncertainty and lowering trust about claims, thereby changing perceptions that tend to favor the business interests behind the astroturfing effort. The New York Times reported that "consumer" reviews are more effective, because "they purport to be testimonials of real people, even though some are bought and sold just like everything else on the commercial Internet." Some organizations feel that their business is threatened by negative comments, so they may engage in astroturfing to drown them out. Online comments from astroturfing employees can also sway the discussion through the influence of groupthink. Justification Some astroturfing operatives defend their practice. Regarding "movements that have organized aggressively to exaggerate their sway," author Ryan Sager said that this "isn't cheating. Doing everything in your power to get your people to show up is basic politics." According to a Porter/Novelli executive, "There will be times when the position you advocate, no matter how well framed and supported, will not be accepted by the public simply because you are who you are." Impact on society Data mining expert Bing Liu (University of Illinois) estimated that one-third of all consumer reviews on the Internet are fake. According to The New York Times, this has made it hard to tell the difference between "popular sentiment" and "manufactured public opinion". According to an article in the Journal of Business Ethics, astroturfing threatens the legitimacy of genuine grassroots movements. The authors argued that astroturfing that is "purposefully designed to fulfill corporate agendas, manipulate public opinion and harm scientific research represents a serious lapse in ethical conduct." A 2011 report found that often paid posters from competing companies are attacking each other in forums and overwhelming regular participants in the process. George Monbiot said that persona-management software supporting astroturfing "could destroy the Internet as a forum for constructive debate". An article in the Journal of Consumer Policy said that regulators and policy makers needed to be more aggressive about astroturfing. The author said that it undermines the public's ability to inform potential customers of sub-standard products or inappropriate business practices, but also noted that fake reviews were difficult to detect. Techniques Use of one or more front groups is one astroturfing technique. These groups typically present themselves as serving the public interest, while actually working on behalf of a corporate or political sponsor. Front groups may resist legislation and scientific consensus that is damaging to the sponsor's business by emphasizing minority viewpoints, instilling doubt and publishing counterclaims by corporate-sponsored experts. Fake blogs can also be created that appear to be written by consumers, while actually being operated by a commercial or political interest. Some political movements have provided incentives for members of the public to send a letter to the editor at their local paper, often using a copy and paste form letter that is published in dozens of newspapers verbatim. Another technique is the use of sockpuppets, where a single person creates multiple identities online to give the appearance of grassroots support. Sockpuppets may post positive reviews about a product, attack participants that criticize the organization, or post negative reviews and comments about competitors, under fake identities. Astroturfing businesses may pay staff based on the number of posts they make that are not flagged by moderators. Persona management software may be used so that each paid poster can manage five to seventy convincing online personas without getting them confused. Online astroturfing using sockpuppets is a form of Sybil attack against distributed systems. Pharmaceutical companies may sponsor patient support groups and simultaneously push them to help market their products. Bloggers who receive free products, paid travel or other accommodations may also be considered astroturfing if those gifts are not disclosed to the reader. Analysts could be considered astroturfing, since they often cover their own clients without disclosing their financial connection. To avoid astroturfing, many organizations and press have policies about gifts, accommodations and disclosures.

Detection Persona management software can age accounts and simulate the activity of attending a conference automatically to make it more convincing that they are genuine. At HBGary, employees are given separate thumb drives that contain online accounts for individual identities and visual cues to remind the employee which identity they are using at the time. Mass letters may be printed on personalized stationery using different typefaces, colors and words to make them appear personal. According to an article in The New York Times, the Federal Trade Commission rarely enforces its astroturfing laws. However, astroturfing operations are frequently detected if their profile images are recognized or if they are identified through the usage patterns of their accounts. Filippo Menczer's group at Indiana University developed software in 2010 that detects astroturfing on Twitter by recognizing behavioral patterns. Business and adoption According to an article in the Journal of Consumer Policy, academics disagree on how prolific astroturfing is. According to Nancy Clark from Precision Communications, grass-roots specialists charge $25 to $75 for each constituent they convince to send a letter to a politician. Paid online commentators in China are purportedly paid 50 cents for each online post that is not removed by moderators, leading to the nickname of the "50-cent party".

Zackie Achmat is a prominent South African political activist .
He is known for his battles for gay rights and better access to drugs used to treat AIDS .
Achmat started his fight against injustice as a young boy protesting apartheid .
Today he is campaigning for better public facilities in South Africa's townships . | (CNN) -- South African activist Zackie Achmat is a fighter at heart who's been marching against injustice all his life. From protesting against the apartheid regime to championing gay rights, Achmat advocates for those who he believes don't have a voice. An openly gay, HIV-positive male, Achmat has battled tirelessly to improve access to affordable treatment for people with HIV/AIDS and even risked his life for the cause. Today, the 49-year-old is most passionate about his work in South Africa's townships, where he's on a mission to bring better, safer public facilities to poor residents. CNN's Robyn Curnow caught up with Achmat to discuss his battle for social justice. An edited version of the interview follows. CNN: Are you the kind of person who needs to fight against something, who needs to rally against authority? Zackie Achmat: No, I'm exactly the opposite. I'm the sort of person -- I really hope -- who tries to change things and who gives people a sense of dignity, of their own humanity. CNN: Anti-retroviral drugs are life saving and you used access to them to shame the South African government and have them given to ordinary poor people. Tell me about that process. ZA: It was a multi-prong process that we did. The main (element) was educating people at community levels about the relevance of anti-retrovirals. The second was using the courts -- especially the high court, constitutional court -- to enforce people's rights. And then of course (there was) the need for a treatment plan and fighting the drug companies to bring those prices down. CNN: You refused to take anti-AIDS drugs even though you could, to make a point that 'listen, I might die in this fight until ordinary people get it.' ZA: It was for about four and a half years, and again it's something that caused enormous pain for my friends and my comrades and so on. But the thing I'll always remember was one day a very, very poor woman came up to me and she grabbed my hand at a demonstration and said: 'What you're doing is keeping me alive.' And I knew that it was a terrible burden to carry, I've never said this, but it was a terrible burden to carry, but at the same time it was the right thing to do . CNN: Did you go to bed at night and think, 'should I just take these drugs?' Were you prepared to die? ZA: Yes! But it's the sort of thing you put out of your head -- you prepare yourself, I was very much prepared to be dead, in a certain sense I was performing the holy martyr publicly. And in 2003 when I started taking my medicines, all that changed completely. I had to prepare for life, I made plans and my life changed phenomenally. CNN: You're still fighting for basic social rights. ZA: All people who live in South Africa have to deal with the crime and safety situation...the basic things, safe toilets, safe streets, safe lights, after school care and that's what the Social Justice Coalition which I'm part of (advocates for.) We went this morning... and people get raped when they go to the toilet. (There are) 20 to 30 to 70 people sharing a toilet, toilets that aren't cleaned by the municipality, toilets that are broken, sewerage running all through people's homes on occasion, but the most dangerous thing (for) a person in the informal settlement is (to) go to a toilet. CNN: You've fought for social justice for your whole life. Where South Africa is now, is it what you fought for as a 15-year-old, is this what you wanted? ZA: South Africa for me now is in a certain sense immeasurably better off than ever before, immeasurably. The dignity that black people to a degree have -- no black person has to lose their family and go to jail for it like we did under the past laws, so that's one sense of it. On the other hand the social and class inequalities are much, much wider and much more dangerous for our society. The question we all have to ask ourselves is whether we have postponed our civil war or whether we have avoided it. Because the civil war happens daily in people's lives when they can't go to a toilet safely, whether that is going to become a public thing is a different matter. And unless we address jobs, education and crime, we're not going to be able to contain our society as a society. CNN: So the fight continues. ZA: It's a struggle, the struggle continues and I like, I prefer the word struggle, because it has two connotations: it has the connotation of political struggle but it also has the connotation of what people do daily in order to survive. And it's the connecting of those two that is the most important struggle in life, the struggle to be an ethical human being. |
