No, another one, something about 88 million. Yes Leon, we get the reference, thank you.

You might be the only one here to understand (or think that you understand) the reference to 88 million. Please explain.

Astounding. This guy is a Deputy Assistant Secretary in the Biden Administration. Not likely to be short of dosh. He seems to’ve decided he wanted a suitcase, so he stole one that he liked – off an airport baggage carousel.

Controversial energy official charged with stealing woman’s luggage at MSP (28 Nov)

“Airport records confirmed the navy blue Vera Bradley roller bag arrived at 4:40 p.m. but was missing from the carousel. So law enforcement reviewed video surveillance footage from the baggage claim area and observed Brinton removing a navy blue roller bag from carousel seven, according to a criminal complaint.

The complaint says Brinton removed a luggage tag from the bag, placed it into a handbag he was carrying, and “then left the area at a quick pace.” Brinton arrived at MSP Airport around 4:27 p.m. on an American Airlines flight from Washington, D.C., but did not check a bag, meaning he had no reason to visit baggage claim, according to the complaint.”

You will note that I am using “guy” to mean a creature with XY chromosomes. Lefties are amazing.

This book might be of interest to those who like/ have lived in PNG.
Set in the early 1980s, An Emergent State takes place in the imaginary state of Peyenjee in the South Pacific, close to the Coral Sea and not far from Australia. None of the events actually happened. Any of them could have.

Peyenjee is newly independent and uses English and Pidgin as its national languages, for being unable to choose between the hundreds of its own native tongues. The country has any number of problems, mostly related to its Third World poverty.

James Jones is an Englishman in his twenties, recruited to teach English to the Peyenjee police force. The wage offered to him as an expatriate is more than three times greater than that paid to a teacher in the UK, and he is naturally enthusiastic to succeed and to be useful to the country that has gone to such expense to hire him. Arriving at the police college, he soon discovers that all is not as he expected. Indeed, much is not as anyone would expect.

Miriam Hechtman and Guy Shalvi wanted to do their bit for the environment so when the time came for a new car, an electric vehicle (EV) was their first choice.

At that point they had a garage where it could be charged, and the decision was relatively easy.

But then they moved to a new apartment without garage access in leafy Darling Point, one of Sydney’s most densely populated eastern suburbs only kilometres from the CBD.

They discovered the only solution was to roll out a 20 metre cable from the first floor to reach the car on the street.

ABC, where the solution of course is for government to spend more money!

That is not a serious assumption in the slightest. Take me for instance, I have 30-40 years left in me but if I get the virus I am roughly a 10% chance to die. There are plenty in my position.

I guess at 80 you’d have to say I have a fair chance of karking it too, given my past history of bronchiectasis, but I don’t want any more boosters thanks and you should think twice about it M0nty. My two AZ during the alpha pandemic were precautionary, and a dose of Covid itself earlier this year plus a Novavax booster (to forestall vaxx issues overseas in Europe in May) is quite enough assumed ‘protection’ for me. The AZ gave me no problems but I did get a heavy heartbeat for a few days at night exactly two weeks after the Novavax. Don’t want to invite trouble, so we went to the US sans more jabs, won’t be having more, and like Areff (see his Quadrant piece on Victoria), we came down in the last week in the US with a horrible lurgi, not Covid, which we fought off in the usual way, soldiering on with a bagful of pharmacy delights.

One thing I did notice in the US supermarkets and chemist chains was the HUGE range of self-dosing cold and flu remedies available, much more variety than in Australia. I get the feeling that a lot of people get sick and don’t see a doc but self-medicate. As we were doing. It’s a big business in the US.

The man accused of murdering a teen-aged East Harlem Burger King cashier during a $100 robbery whined that he was the one being victimized, comparing himself to Nelson Mandela and Jesus Christ.

During an exclusive jailhouse video visit from Rikers Island, Winston Glynn — who ranted about slave reparations and screamed that America will “burn” — insisted he was innocent of the heinous Jan. 9 murder that kicked off a year of violence and lawlessness across New York City.

Pretty cashier Kristal Bayron-Nieves, 19, had been working her fast-food job for just three weeks. She had taken the fast-food gig to help her mom pay bills and to save for nursing school, but feared working overnight shifts.

Thousands of Covid-19 fines worth millions of dollars could be ruled invalid after two Sydneysiders won a landmark test case in the New South Wales Supreme Court.

The man and woman claimed their infringement notices were issued in such vague terms they could not be legally enforced and would be difficult, if not impossible, to challenge in front of a magistrate.

On Tuesday morning, barrister David Kell SC for the Commissioner of Police told the Supreme Court the pair’s Covid penalty notices would no longer be enforced.

‘These two notices do not sufficiently state or describe the offences in general terms,’ Mr Kell said.

The two claimants, Brenden Beame and Teal Els, will have their fines refunded. A fine issued to a third claimant, Rohan Pank, had already been repaid.

The man accused of murdering a teen-aged East Harlem Burger King cashier during a $100 robbery whined that he was the one being victimized, comparing himself to Nelson Mandela and Jesus Christ.

Terribly sad. You see the image of the girl and read why she is working, then you see the image of the guy, and you can see that the world has just been given the bum end of the deal with him still breathing and her dead.

At the risk of repeating a point made before, that Winston Glynn guy will no doubt have been born a little cherub. With the right upbringing he might have become a productive member of society and raised a family.

But he didn’t.

He is a thug. No punishment dealt to him should be mitigated by what he might have been, because he isn’t. There is not some dimension of him that is a doctor or a plumber or even fast food cashier that will be unfairly harmed if the murder version of him is treated harshly. Those alternative forms have no real existence.

Did he pick up his criminal proclivities from other people? Did an uncle or someone encourage him to become a criminal? Maybe. But the person he was beforehand has ceased to exist. No punishment inflicted upon him now will resonate back to that earlier more innocent moment. It does not coexist in him somewhere with the violent him. Like ‘yesterday’, it is gone forever.

All he is right now is a savage. He is the little shit he is, through and through. He certainly knew what he was doing was a crime and he chose to do it anyway. Punish him and it is only the vile little monster that suffers.

It is just unfortunate that the jurisdiction is NY.

He also likes to advocate nuclear power as some sort of masterclass wedge that “cuts emissions” and delivers cheap electricity.

Which, of course, Labor will never offer or give.

Even now they push the nonsense that ruinables are cheaper than reliables, in spite of it being manifestly true that reliables gave us cheap, plentiful (and, of course, reliable) power for decades and the prices only started creeping up when ruinables where forced into the mix.

But doing to the Australian people what would see an accountant put in prison, shifting sums about, creating dummies, misallocating sums will see them in the clear – and they will be free to continue courting the green vote that truly does want to bring the country to its knees.

Tax cut for electric vehicles passes Parliament

Australian Treasury

The Albanese Government has delivered on our election commitment to make electric vehicles more affordable for more Australians.

The Electric Car Discount Bill, which passed Parliament today, will encourage greater take?up of electric vehicles and reduce transport emissions as part of the Government’s broader climate action agenda.

This is a win for motorists, a win for businesses and a win for climate action.

This is a tax cut which will make EVs cheaper.

More Australians will be able to get behind the wheel of an electric car thanks to these changes which will reduce up?front and ongoing costs.

The legislation provides a fringe benefits tax (FBT) exemption for eligible cars made available for employees by employers.

For a model valued at about $50,000, it means a $9,000 benefit to an employer or a $4,700 benefit to an employee using a salary sacrificing arrangement.

The Government will apply the exemption retrospectively to eligible cars first used on or after 1 July 2022.

Eligible plug?in hybrid electric vehicles will also be FBT exempt when provided under arrangements entered into before 1 April 2025.

The fringe benefits tax exemption is complemented by the removal of the five per cent import tariff that is already making eligible electric vehicles more affordable and accessible to Australian families.

We have enshrined in the law our commitment to review the measure after three years to ensure it remains effective.

The Electric Car Discount is one of the first new initiatives in the Government’s plan to improve electric vehicle uptake, with further measures to be delivered as part of the National Electric Vehicle Strategy.

This includes a $500 million investment to boost electric vehicle charging infrastructure right across Australia.

We are also committed to ensuring 75 per cent of new Commonwealth fleet purchases are electric by 2025.

We worked in good faith with the crossbench for this result, and we thank the Australian Greens and Senator Pocock for their support in delivering this outcome.

It’s disappointing but not surprising that the Opposition has chosen to vote against lower taxes for Australians and lower emissions.

Lack of public charging facilities makes owning an electric car a challenge for Sydney residents

By Sue Daniel
Posted 9h ago9 hours ago, updated 4h ago

Miriam Hechtman and Guy Shalvi wanted to do their bit for the environment so when the time came for a new car, an electric vehicle (EV) was their first choice.

At that point they had a garage where it could be charged, and the decision was relatively easy.

But then they moved to a new apartment without garage access in leafy Darling Point, one of Sydney’s most densely populated eastern suburbs only kilometres from the CBD.

They discovered the only solution was to roll out a 20 metre cable from the first floor to reach the car on the street.

“It wasn’t simple because you always had to find a park outside the house, so Guy got a really long cord and we managed to get it the footpath and over the street sign,” Ms Hechtman said.

“It was not ideal — [but] we only did it overnight, we knew it was safe in the sense that no-one was going to trip over anything.”

The arrangement caught the eye of independent MP for Wentworth Allegra Spender, who took a photograph one day while on her morning run and posted it to social media.

Ms Spender captioned the photo “EV charging the Wentworth way” saying it highlighted the lack of public charging stations for apartment dwellers living in her electorate.

A couple of weeks later the local council put a note on the car asking them to stop.

Ms Hechtman said while the publicity generated by the tweet and Instagram posts did cause them to worry, the responses were positive.

“When I was reading all the comments it was like ‘that was so creative … and that’s great because there is nowhere to charge’,” she laughed.

About 60 per cent of the 160,000 residents in Ms Spender’s electorate live in stratas and apartments where it’s still uncommon to have chargers installed.

She wants the federal government to introduce tougher emission standards to force the importation of fuel efficient cars, and the introduction of more publicly available fast chargers.

“What’s really crucial is to get the ones where you can leave your car, do your shopping — those are the chargers we need and we need about 130 of them by 2030 to get the community to uptake on EVs,” she said.

A Tesla Smartphone Is Not an Idle Threat

In what I suspect is a spate of misinformed zealotry, Apple has threatened to remove the Twitter app from its App Store. At least, according to Twitter CEO Elon Musk.

This is all part of the effort by left-wing zealots to “punish” Twitter for proposing to end censorship based on political leanings. Mr. Musk said that, if pressed, he would launch his own line of phones in response. Should Apple CEO Tim Cook take such a threat seriously, or can he laugh it off?

I think he’d best take it very seriously.

In Tesla, Elon Musk has the only ‘tech’ brand name that comes close to Apple in terms of panache. A Tesla Phone actually has a chance of becoming The Next Big Thing. More worrisome for Apple, Tesla could realistically blossom into a complete lifestyle brand with phones, tablets, home security… all the toys. And Musk already has the car, something Apple has been tinkering with in a “skunk works” for years.

Also in Tesla, Musk has what everyone agrees is the best battery technology in the world, bar none, in terms of cost, capacity, and lifespan. This is an important consideration when buying a phone. Many people who are perfectly happy with their smartphones otherwise would switch brands tomorrow if they could get one that would go all day without a charge. A smartphone with noticeably superior battery technology would immediately become a formidable competitor in the segment.

Musk also has Something Interesting that only he has, in the form of a nearly-completed worldwide network of communications satellites in low Earth orbit. This may or may not be applicable to smartphones; I am not privy to the “feeds and speeds” of Starlink. At a minimum, he has a way to offer “no dead zones… anywhere” that would be unique in the industry.

At this point, smartphones — especially Android smartphones — are a commodity. The infrastructure and supply chain to build them are everywhere and cheap. There are no technological challenges. It’s just a matter of having the resources to get started and tolerate the bleeding during the start-up losses. This Musk has.

Android is Open Source technology. Anyone can take it and make anything they want out of it. Amazon designed a unique user interface for its phones. Several Chinese companies have also done that. Turn Tesla’s interior designers loose on a smartphone interface, and they might come up with something just stunning.

Tim Cook should pause before thinking he has the upper hand here. He might not.

WA bikie gangs could form political party to fight anti-consorting laws
Gary Adshead
By Gary Adshead
November 29, 2022 — 10.07am

In a rare showing of solidarity, Western Australia’s bikie gangs are putting aside their turf wars to fight a battle of a different kind.

The collective, comprising an estimated 14 gangs, is considering forming a political party to quash tough new laws which prevent them socialising with each other and wearing their patches.
Under the new laws, bikies are banned from displaying their gang patches.

Mongols member Troy Mercanti is leading the bid after becoming the first person in the state charged under the anti-consorting laws.

He is taking his legal challenge to the High Court of Australia and is being represented by one of the state’s top barristers, Steven Penglis SC.

It’s understood the case is being bankrolled by WA gangs, with members asked to donate to the cause.

Two summits have already been held to discuss the issue, with representatives from all clubs in attendance, and the meetings livestreamed to those who couldn’t attend in person.

Under the new anti-consorting laws, introduced a year ago, a person can be jailed for up to 12 months and fined $12,000 for consorting contrary to a dispersal notice or displaying insignia of an identified organisation in a public place, including gang tattoos and patches.

At the time the legislation was introduced, Premier Mark McGowan said the laws would take away the ability for bikie gangs to communicate with each other.

“This government is serious about stopping organised crime and protecting the community from the intimidation and violence carried out by bikie gangs,” he said.

“We will not tolerate outlaw motorcycle gangs or any organised criminal activity in Western Australia.”

Mercanti is challenging the validity of a police order issued under the new laws.

On Thursday, the state government also announced new legislation to prevent bikies from owning guns or being in the presence of someone who does.

People with violent criminal records will also be banned from Perth entertainment precincts under new laws flagged in September.

The laws drew criticism from some, including members of Perth’s legal fraternity, who described them as an overreach and overreaction.

Has anybody asked them what their stance on the “Voice” will be?

F1 still eyes in-car video screens to replace mirrors, but faces key hurdles

Formula 1’s move to even bigger mirrors in 2023 has again highlighted the problems that drivers face with rearward visibility.

Jonathan Noble – Nov 28, 2022,

But for such a high-tech sport like Formula 1, it seems almost amazing that it is still relying on such an old-school concept of fixed mirrors that have been an ever-present on cars since they first raced.

Indeed, in an era of super-accurate GPS, on-board cameras and high-speed digital processing, it would seem logical for F1 to make the step and go cutting-edge.

That could mean making it mandatory for F1 cars to be fitted with rearward facing cameras that can display what is going on behind on to a small screen in the cockpit.

The idea of having rear-facing cameras and cockpit screens is nothing new in F1, and there were discussions several years ago between drivers and the FIA about the subject.

Carlos Sainz said back in 2018: “We’ve proposed having cameras, instead of a simple mirror, which is something that they have in other categories, and I think the FIA is going to have a look at it. But it is not something that has been clarified yet.

In-cockpit digital screens are indeed regularly used in other categories, and made their debut as long ago as 2012 in sportscars when Audi used them on its R18 at the Le Mans 24 Hours.

But while the FIA is aware of how well they work elsewhere, there still remain some big hurdles before such in-car screens can make the transition to F1.

The FIA’s single seater technical director Nikolas Tombazis has explained three critical issues that need to be overcome before the screens can be considered for F1.

Asked by Motorsport.com about the technology, he said: “We have given it consideration. It’s got three issues that need to be resolved.

“One is that there’s not much space for a TV screen in the cockpit. Second, it’s used sometimes in closed cockpit cars which have rather dark conditions inside, you can see if you put your phone in sunlight, you don’t want the drivers squinting to see if they can see something. So there’s that.

“Then, the third thing is that there’s a time of adaptation of your focus from one distance to another distance, which we’re also a bit concerned and we need to evaluate carefully.

“At the speeds you are going, you must not lose that half a tenth of a second to adapt, so that’s another issue.

Joseph’s Dream, Rembrandt, 1645

Joseph had two dreams while in the Egyptian prison which proved to be prophetically correct, but his first dream didn’t get him out of prison. This was because when he announced his first dream his message was full of me, me, and more me rather than acknowledge that God gave him the message, so it was straight back into gaol for him.

After many years lingering in gaol someone remembered that there’s this bloke in the prison who can interpret dreams so they brought Joseph out again to interpret the Pharaoh’s dreams and this time he acknowledged God’s role, so he was freed and placed in a very senior position, second only to the Pharaoh.

Boastfulness appears to have been a major problem for Joseph which got him into trouble. He was resented by his brothers as he was their father’s favourite son, and when he told them that they would all bow down and acknowledge his superiority they wanted to get rid of him.

Joseph was given a double blessing by his father, two of his sons were given equal ranking as their uncles as heads of their own tribes, those of Ephraim and Manasseh, so the twelve tribes became thirteen. The Ephraimites were known as the Aegels (bull-calf) which was their tribal symbol, these were the leaders in the civil war which broke up the united Israelite nation, and Manasseh was the largest of the Tribes and they occupied both banks of the Jordan River. The Aegels, later known as the Angles, after going into the Assyrian captivity, became the major force in the Parthian Empire in Persia, Manasseh became the major force on the steppes known as the Saccae Scythians (to the Greeks), the Saka Scythians (to the Persians), and the Saxons to the Romans.

After the westward migrations the Angles ended up as the dominate force in Angle-land, and Manasseh became the dominate tribe in the USA. They had previously occupied northern England and lowland Scotland (hence the unicorn, Manasseh’s tribal symbol, on the Scottish flag), and they were also in western and southern Germany who migrated in large numbers to the USA.

The Jewish sages have some interesting things to say about these brothers. They say that, because when Israel (Jacob) blessed the boys on his death bed, he crossed his hands to deliver the blessing so that Manasseh, Joseph’s first born son, received a lesser blessing than his younger brother Ephraim, so Ephraim received the blessing of a company (commonwealth) of nations, whereas Manasseh would receive a single though significant nation. The sages say that, because this blessing was given with crossed hands, there was a time limit involved and Manasseh would, in time, become the predominate brother.

I think we’ve seen that occur in recent history, America emerged as the dominate world power during the second world war, and England’s empire started to diminish so they are now a lesser power than the USA.

The sages also say that Manasseh inherited Joseph’s nature and Ephraim more closely resembled Israel (Jacob). That probably explains the confident, perhaps boastful nature of many Americans compared to the stiff upper lip, reserved nature of many Englishmen.

And this in turns explains why many people find President Trump such a polarising figure. He is the perfect epitome of Manasseh and his father Joseph, many people don’t like him because he comes across as a proud and boastful person whereas others can see past that and recognise the fine and decent qualities which he has.

Joseph was a smart aleck, the favoured son. His brothers didn’t like him much. Reuben was probably the most decent of all of them. Tracking his life through abandonment, captivity, temptation, imprisonment and finally recognition and favour again is truly worthwhile. And then the story of his final interaction with his brothers and the threat of death over withholding Benjamin.

Some commentators see him as a fore-figure or shadow of The Christ.

From Genesis 20

But Joseph said to them, “Don’t be afraid. Am I in the place of God? You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives. So then, don’t be afraid. I will provide for you and your children.” And he reassured them and spoke kindly to them.

He died at a ripe old age, after telling them that they would eventually leave Egypt and that they must take his bones with them to the Promised Land.

And they did.

“I wrote and asked him to build an operating system for my desktop that has become useless with Win11 and the enforcement of the Googleshit and locking out of the stuff I want to use.”

Download the latest Ubuntu LTS “Live” / Install distribution (likely “22.04 LTS” – LTS is “Long Term Support”, so the no charge support/updates is for 5 years, or until 2027 for 22.04 LTS)
Burn to a USB stick.
Reboot to the USB stick.
Try it out.
It will be slow to load (and start programs) because of running off USB, but it should do everything you want – web browser (Firefox, Chrome etc), IM chat, Skye, full HD full screen video, Spotify etc etc. Although you may need to “install” appropriate stuff (like Skype, Spotify etc), this is fairly easy to find and install if and as required.
Very easy install / try out, you don’t need much in the way of computer knowledge to try/install/use – and you can “try” it, try the install softwre to make sure everything does actually work without making any changes to your existing setup – hell, you can keep running it that way if you want, just be aware that unless you “change” the standard “Live” USB image, anything you install/change will be forgotten on next boot for the “Live” boot.
If you like it, you can use the same USB to install it, either “over the top of” Windows (getting rid of Windoze entirely) or “alongside” it (if you have free disk space), so “dual boot” (windoze/Ubuntu).
Of course, once installed, all the extra software you install stays on the system over a reboot.

I don’t run windows on anything I own, only on work laptop/desktop. Been that way for 10 years or so, only very rarely have I needed something that was Windows only. I have even got Ubuntu working on a high-end Android TV box, which is good enough for all of the above as well, if a little slow to load (because the storage is SD or eMMS flash with a slow interface, not intrinsically slow OS – it’s no slower to load than the Android apps). I wouldn’t recommend you go down that path unless/until you become somewhat familiar with Linux generally, but even without that, you could likely pull it off with some research. A basic desktop is then only about $100 for quad core 2GHZ ARM 64 bit, 4GB RAM, 32GB flash.

“Deciding whether to have a child is an emotionally fraught and deeply personal process. Deciding amid increasingly dire warnings for the planet makes it even
more paralysing. “The Climate Baby Dilemma” explores the state of what to expect when you’re expecting… climate change. With the future promising to be
increasingly unstable and insecure, conversations about parenthood are heating up. Over the course of three years, the film follows prominent science writer
Britt Wray, as she delves further into this complex issue – hosting workshops, giving talks, and speaking to activists, psychologists, parents and prospective
parents. The film also meets many youth at the centre of the climate moment. A growing number of Gen-Z and millennials are either refusing to bring a child into
an increasingly unstable world or struggling with the question of whether they should. Those deciding to have children, while being very climate aware – like
activists Sarain Fox and Severn Suzuki – offer perspectives and lessons for raising children in the climate crisis. Through her research, Britt considers how
one can transform climate anxiety and grief into transformative action. For many, the best antidote to feeling powerless is activism – and that can take many
forms, including the decision not to have a child.

Monash University staff can be fired if they do not complete mandatory Indigenous culture training.

The 20-minute online program, which launched on Thursday, is compulsory for all Australian staff working for the university, including contractors.

They must complete the new virtual training module about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, their history and culture by December 31.

According to Monash’s compliance training guidelines, refusing to complete the module is a procedure breach.

This means that the university can terminate staff or bring disciplinary action against them if they do not do the training.

Monash’s senior vice president Sharon Pickering said in a letter to staff that the program was part of the university’s aim of respecting Indigenous peoples and culture and acknowledging their history.

“The training will provide our Monash community with the invaluable opportunity to strengthen their understanding of the rich and complex histories of the lands on which we work and live, and consider ways to acknowledge First Nations peoples and live out the University’s core values,” Prof Pickering said.

But a staff member, who wished to remain anonymous, said the university’s approach was “heavy handed” and that he has refused to complete the training.

“It’s reached the point where I’m ashamed to put my Monash lanyard around my neck each morning,” he said.

“It’s a University that preaches diversity and inclusion but cannot tolerate anyone who simply wants to perform their role instead of subscribing to a relentless left-wing agenda.

“I’ve even seen staff delivering Acknowledgment to Country messages at the beginning of Zoom meetings despite the fact that these meetings are held in cyberspace, not on anyone’s land.”

A spokeswoman for the university said the unit, titled Cultural Foundations: Building your knowledge of Australia’s First Peoples, was one of several mandatory modules staff must complete.

“The Module provides information on the Indigenous history of the Victorian lands on which Monash campuses are located, and outlines ways to acknowledge First Nations peoples,” she said.

“It is a condition of employment that all staff complete all mandatory training modules, to ensure they have broad and up-to-date understanding of a range of issues. If staff are concerned about completing any of the modules, they are encouraged to speak with their supervisor.”

Monash also locks students out of their online learning hub if they do not submit modules on consent, drinking and Indigenous history – barring them from lecture recordings and weekly materials until.

Earlier this month, it backtracked on a policy that required students to include an Acknowledgement of Country on assignments to avoid losing marks.

It is common for university staff and students to complete mandatory training.

La Trobe University students cannot live in campus accommodation or graduate until they complete academic integrity and Indigenous cultural awareness units.

All Australian Catholic University students must complete an academic integrity unit before they can access their results.

Yes, Reuben was the first born of Jacob and he missed out on the major blessings, Judah was appointed as the leader and Joseph got the farm. Reuben acted as the big brother should though when his brothers threw Joseph into a pit, he had intended to retrieve him later before the brothers went home and was saddened to learn that he wasn’t there, having been sold into slavery by Judah, which was probably a better fate than being killed as Simeon wanted.

Therefore the sons of Joseph will always go to the rescue of Reuben, his descendants are primarily the Gauls and Reubenite Franks in France, even though the French look down their long Gaulish noses at the English and the brash Americans.

The mandrake was the tribal symbol of Reuben, that’s been retained as the fleur-de-lis as a symbol for France.

I could Boot Strap Restart an IBM 360 using the Binary Switches on the Front Panel

Marc posts on the video:

I recently acquired this front panel from an IBM 360 mod 50, with lots of switches and over 250 blinkenlights. The IBM System/360 was an iconic mainframe computer introduced in 1964 (see promotional video here: https://youtu.be/V4kyTg9Cw8g). The system was a huge development gamble for IBM, with all the “models” from small to huge sharing mostly the same overall architecture and instruction set, but with radically different hardware implementations depending on the cost and performance point.

A key novelty was the introduction of “SLT” ceramic hybrid modules, pre-dating the integrated circuit, but with denser packaging than individual transistors. This front panel is from a model 50 (in IBM speak a “mod 50”), a larger business system. And yes, I’ll take you through most of the buttons. Take this with a grain of salt, this is very complicated and I am new at it. Understanding the meaning of every one of the 1,152 bits that the lights and rollers can display will take some serious further study. I am sure the IBM CEs (Customer Engineers) that spent their careers on these panels will chime in the comments section and correct all my mistakes.

It’s amazing that computers were controlled via switches to bootload them.

A number of replicas have been made for the IMSAI 8080 and PDP11 recently, I think the IBM 360 may take longer to get the same treatment.

A year’s lag between the collection of birth data and its publication is almost as abysmal as the presentation of death data. The ABS can give provisional mortality data after 3 months, why can’t it give provisional birth data after 3 months as well?

The figures for Victoria were all there and easy to locate. NSW on the other hand was a labyrinthine wall of links leading nowhere. I can’t help but *feel* it was deliberate. Others scoffed at the figures and falsification – why not? Our trust in anything the government puts out is at an all time low.

Covid 19 vaccines and the misinterpretation of perceived side effects clarity on the safety of vaccines

In the era of Covid 19 and mass vaccination programs, the anti-vaccination movement across the world is currently at an all-time high. Much of this anti-vaccination sentiment could be attributed to the alleged side effects that are perpetuated across social media from anti-vaccination groups. Fear mongering and misinformation being peddled by people with no scientific training to terrorise people into staying unvaccinated is not just causing people to remain susceptible to viral outbreaks, but could also be causing more side effects seen in the vaccination process. This brief review will offer data that may demonstrate that misinformation perpetuated by the anti-vaccination movement may be causing more deaths and side effects from any vaccine.

This paper does not aim to rule in or out every side effect seen, but it is highly likely that many apparent side effects seen shortly after a subject has received a vaccine could be the result of restricted or congested blood flow from blood vessel or arterial constriction caused by emotional distress or placebo based on fear around vaccines.
