Is information held by PwC the catalyst that could push it off the edge? The basin plan is heading towards a cliff. There has long been a view that volumes of water recovered under the basin plan cannot be delivered downstream without causing significant erosion to riverbanks, as well as flood damage to public and private infrastructure.Īn audit that confirmed these fears would throw the Albanese Government’s flawed water management policies into turmoil, as it would be pointless recovering the massive volumes it proposes, including the additional 450GL that has been demanded by South Australia. So what does the MDBA have to hide in relation to river modelling? The Murray-Darling Basin Authority has confirmed it has written to PwC seeking assurances that confidential information in river modelling contracts worth nearly $28 million has not been shared. Various government departments and agencies have been embroiled in the PwC scandal, though there is one in particular that raises additional questions that need to be answered. Leader of the Nationals Why the confidentiality? It is time Labor faced the heat and provided honest answers. Mr O’Brien branded the process “a joke” as the government continually shut down questions about the budget. The Nationals have led the fight for transparency via Member for Gippsland South and PAEC member Danny O’Brien, who has become increasingly frustrated by the process. Labor, sadly, is sticking to type when all we need is answers. Our roads system is crumbling yet Labor has cut maintenance funding by 45 per cent since 2020, with $260 million slashed this year alone.Īnd regional development funding has been halved to $106.6 million in the brutal budget, with funding cut an alarming 80 per cent since 2020. It comes as Labor has cut $1 billion from the health system after slashing $2 billion in last year’s budget despite the system being in crisis. The clock runs down in Labor’s game of dodgeball. Time after time, the responses have lacked detail and substance. Instead, a procession of government ministers have dodged questions and wasted time by purposely drifting away from the issues at hand. The timing is ideal to get to the bottom of what is happening to taxpayers’ money. It comes not long after the Budget was delivered. Victorians need to hear the reasoning behind budget cuts as they continue to pay for Labor’s incompetence.

In a written statement, Columbia Residential, which manages the property, said that its security measures include cameras, fencing, lighting and patrols "as appropriate." It also uses tenant screening, leasing requirements, and cooperation with law enforcement. But in July 2022, Atlanta announced that the complex was on a list of properties to be targeted because of chronic crime and condition problems. The 70-year-old complex won an award in 2020 for preservation and redevelopment. A fire on June 21, 2018, affected six units. Records show 16 code enforcement complaints between July 2016 and October 2020: issues included bedbugs, leaks, rats, sewage on property and dilapidated buildings. Among the aggravated assaults, two people were shot on July 4, 2020. It is also gated and added a security service, according to the statement from Sharon Cohen of Golden Gate Property Management.įindings: From 2017-2021, 67 crimes were reported at this address, including homicides in March 2017 and in October and November 2020 21 aggravated assaults a rape and a child molestation and a robbery. The property manager told the AJC in an email that the complex has had a complete upgrade, inside and out, in recent years. Two children were treated for smoke inhalation. ![]() A fire in March 2016 forced firefighters to rescue some trapped tenants. In 2020, it had 22 citations, though information on fines was not provided. It also received three health code violations and was fined $69,000. According to county data on apartment inspections, in 2018 the complex received 123 code citations, and 385 in 2019. While the cause is not listed for most, some concerned a lack of heat or air conditioning, and others concerned interior and exterior structural problems. From March 2017 to December 2021, there were 83 code enforcement complaints. There were also 11 aggravated assaults, five robberies and two rapes. Fire crews initially had to bring in tank water to fight the blaze because of the 800-foot distance to a fire hydrant.įindings: From 2017-2021, police reported 95 crimes at this address, including three homicides: in June 20 and July 2020. A July 2022 fire at the complex which damaged four units was ruled to be arson. Atlanta lists 10 code complaints at the 1895 Plaza address among the most recent were inoperable AC, electrical problems and leaks.

An August 2021 exterior inspection found improperly connected AC units, broken windows, sagging and clogged gutters, trash and inoperable stairway lights. They included stagnant water, broken receptable outlets and emergency light issues. In 2017, the city fined the property manager $10,000 for code violations at this property and a sister complex, Brookstone Gardens, now Sierra Gardens, citing conditions termed "immoral." When the city began a sweeps inspection program in 2018, this complex was among the first swept, with numerous violations cited. At the Buford Drive addresses they include two aggravated assaults and two rapes. They include at the Curtis Drive address a February 2020 kidnapping of a minor, three aggravated assaults and two robberies.

![]() ![]() He puts down his camera just long enough to accept the award. ![]() As Anna Wintour famously said, “We all get dressed for Bill.”Īs director Richard Press’ film shows, Cunningham simply lived to shoot, even taking pictures at his own awards ceremony when he was given a prestigious award by the French Ministry of Culture. But he was right at home among New York’s top-tier society, including Brooke Astor. (In Paris at one point in the film, he declines to photograph Catherine Denueve, shrugging, “She wasn’t wearing anything interesting.”)Ĭunningham, who passed away in 2016 at age 87, lived modestly in a tiny storeroom in Carnegie Hall that was crammed with file cabinets holding every negative he ever took. He was interested in seeing how everyday people dressed and couldn’t care less about celebrities. Mapplethorpe said, “I don’t think it’s important who’s in the photographs if the pictures are good.” But he also believed in “exploiting” himself as much as any of his subjects, as in the infamous self portrait with whip.Īlthough Bill Cunningham rubbed elbows with the wealthy and famous while snapping photos for his two New York Times columns, he preferred to remain behind the camera.Ĭunningham’s column “On the Street” documented changing street fashion for decades. Like Newton, he’s been accused of objectifying his subjects. While his brother Edward (also a photographer) says Robert loved shocking people, Mapplethorpe himself said, “I was always amazed that it shocked people.” As he delved further into the gay BDSM underground of New York City, he turned his camera on that world, as well. Mapplethorpe began by photographing his muses and lovers, including then-girlfriend Patti Smith. Mapplethorpe’s greatest fame-and controversy-came after his death in 1989 of AIDS. Back in the ’80s, no one, not even the ambitious artist, would dream that one of his photos that originally sold for $250 would fetch more than $300,000 at auction. The pictures were something the art world-and the world at large-had never seen before: homoerotic BDSM photos often featuring Mapplethorpe himself.įriend Fran Lebowitz laments that she threw away several of his photos. Jesse Helms angrily waving some of Mapplethorpe’s explicit photos around during a session of Congress and demanding, “Look at the pictures!” This made-for-HBO doc directed by Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato opens with Republican Sen. Robert Mapplethorpe: Look at the Pictures (2016) People tell me I don’t photograph the soul. I’m interested in what I and my camera see. I have no interest at all in the people I photograph. Newton’s own take on his often controversial work: “I’m a professional voyeur. Were Newton’s nudes empowering the women he photographed or was he simply objectifying them? One of his models says Helmut was holding a mirror up to society, “and there’s a lot of misogyny” to reflect. Isabella Rossellini, whom Newton shot with David Lynch circa Blue Velvet, has a more nuanced take on the late German photographer, “He photographed women the way Riefenstahl photographed men: There was something powerful and beautiful, but also frightening and repellent.” Newton famously photographed her in a series of striking nude shots with then-boyfriend Dolph Lundgren. “He was a little bit of a pervert, but so am I, so that’s okay,” laughs Grace Jones, one of many of Newton’s subjects interviewed for Gero von Boehm’s documentary. Helmut Newton: The Bad and the Beautiful (2020) While the five documentaries that follow are a great place to start, we also recommend Agnes Varda’s Oscar-nominated Faces, Places and Annie Leibovitz: Life Through a Lens (directed by her sister, Barbara). And you might not have heard of portrait photographer Elsa Dorfman if not for Errol Morris’s documentary about her. Both Helmut Newton and Robert Mapplethorpe-with their controversial nudes, their celebrity subjects and their undeniable artistry-helped transform photography into the in-demand, valuable medium that it is today.īy contrast, beloved New York Times street photographer Bill Cunningham shunned the spotlight, as did Vivian Maier, whose extraordinary street photos only came to light after her death. ![]() ![]() ![]() But in most cases it’s a great way to cut through the bloat of heavy retweeting and find out what sort of person a Twitter user really is. Account protections can interfere with this type of search too – even after a protected account reverts to public status.

Twitter will now show you the user’s own Tweets, without the Retweets.

How do you make a decision on whether you’re comfortable following someone if all you can see is Retweets? If you can't see past those Retweets, might you give a badly-behaved user the benefit of the doubt? True, some badly-behaved Twitter users do delete their Tweets, but others simply use a Retweet bot to keep hiding their unpleasant interactions under a deluge of ‘filler’. Some Retweet for money.Īnd some, let's say, less well-behaved Twitter users, go heavy on the Retweets in order to bury their own Tweets and make it near-impossible for profile visitors to observe their behaviour. Some Retweet to keep their accounts active when they don't have anything to Tweet themselves. Some Retweet for reasons of social compliance, etiquette or friendship. Some Retweet for self-promotion - when someone compliments them, for instance. Some people Retweet to ingratiate themselves to others or attract attention. But many do it more for their own benefit than anyone else's. It wouldn’t be so bad if all Twitter users Retweeted for the good of their followers. Visited someone’s Twitter profile page and found it’s full of Retweets? Pain in the posterior, innit? You visit someone’s page because you want to know about them – not a mass of random accounts either they, or worse, their auto-bot, have chosen to momentarily highlight.

Bose approached the problem of the inescapable bass resonance in speakers by moving this up in frequency (to around 200Hz) and applying equalization to offset the normal 6dB/octave rolloff below resonance. And we are not convinced that this can yield as good performance as is obtainable from a system that needs little correctional boost or none at all.įig.3 Response curves (from one of Bose's blurbs for the 901) show the wide range of equalization contours available from the speaker's active equalizer.ĭr. The equalizer that is part of the 901 system offers a selection of response curves via several front-panel switches (fig.3), but even in the operating mode that is identified as having the flattest response, the speakers themselves are being fed rather substantial amounts of bass and treble boost. What bothers us about the 901, though, is the amountof compensatory boost that has been used, rather than the fact that it is used at all. Equalization of this kind is fine, of course, if only a small amount is needed to add the last nth degree of perfection (?) to a system, and if the loudspeakers can take it without swapping extended range for increased distortion. One of these is the use of electrical equalization to compensate for deficiencies in the speakers at the high and low ends of the audio range. As good as any live performance you can imagine even better.There are two other things about the design of the 901 that we question, too. The power handling of these speakers are phenom. Lastly, I installed a Sunfire woofer in the mix and I used a Litespeed power conditioner to finish things off. I also incorporated a Marantz AC3 digital processor for my Rotel CD player and 32bit computer driven MP3's. I powered the speakers with a 200 watt per channel Chiro amplifier and Mcintosh preamp. I used 8 gauge OFC twisted pair with platinum connectors on both ends. I went through great pains to make sure placement was optimal, but I also concentrated my efforts on the cable and power plants as well. Deep sharp bass response, great highs and middles that can make you weep. Walk around the sound stage and be amazed. Once the speakers land in the 'g' spot (groove) they will come alive and consume the room with high fidelity like no other. Simply following the guidelines in the manual is a good start, but all rooms have different sound dynamics so location refinement is essential to optimal listening. The 901's are somewhat different because speaker placement is critical. Rock, Jazz, R&B all sound fabulous with classical and opera sounding amazing. The speakers handle as little as 30 watts and I have driven them hard with 120watts per channel. The 601s work on the same theory as the 901s - direct reflected sound. I still have them and they still sound great after 30 years although I did replace the bass drivers (due to foam rot). My first set of Bose were the 601 series one. These speakers have been around for years and not much has changed in its conceptual design. ![]() ![]() ![]() UV sensitive and color changing materials are not intended for continuous long term exposure to direct light.

Obsidian from Chile has also been found containing very rare inclusions of euhedral indialite crystals and transparent rods of sillimanite. It may also contain needle-like inclusions, gas bubbles, torpedo-shaped bubbles, teardrop-shaped bubbles or cristobalite crystal inclusions, which appear like "snowflakes" in " snowflake obsidian". It may contain inclusions which cause a silver or gold sheen. Since obsidian is volcanic glass, it has a vitreous (glassy luster). Orange obsidian is referred to as "pumpkin obsidian" and plum-colored obsidian is called "plum obsidian". Translucent to opaque, black-streaked orange, red or brown obsidian nodules from the American Southwest are known as "Apache tears". Transparent pale yellow-green to brownish obsidian from Peru is referred to as macusanite. "Fire" or "flame" obsidian reflects bright colors due to the presence of nanometric magnetite crystal layers. The rainbow colors of rainbow obsidian come from the presence of augitic pyroxene. The iridescence of obsidian can be gold, silver, blue, violet, green or combinations of these colors. Rainbow obsidian is dark-brown to black with an iridescent sheen. Sheen obsidian is dark-brown to black with a golden or silver sheen (this is also called aventurescence). Mahogany obsidian has dark-brown to black and red banding.

In its pure form, obsidian has a dark body color due to the presence of iron and magnesium. ![]() Obsidian has been used to make arrow heads and blades, as well as ornaments for thousands of years by people such as the pre-Columbian Mesoamericans and the ancient Egyptians. Due to its lack of cleavage, conchoidal fracture and acute edges when broken, it has been used to make smooth and sharp surgical scalpel blades. In addition to its decorative use, obsidian has a practical use. Obsidian forms when lava cools and whilst it is mineral-like, it is not considered to be a true mineral because its composition is too complex and it does not have a crystalline structure.
