November 27, 2022 - Media go for drama on Victorian election - and miss the story

Media go for drama on Victorian election - and miss the story For the best part of two weeks, Victorian voters were told by the media that the election on November 26 might result in either a hung parliament or a minority Labor government. In the event, the Labor government was returned with a reduced but clear majority, the size of which is not yet known, while the Coalition has suffered a crushing defeat. Continued here

Whoops, I Deleted My Life When the ominous warnings started hitting my inbox a few months ago, I tried to ignore them. The emails contained none of the humor or playfulness of the early Gmail ethos. Instead, they were terse and vaguely threatening, seeming to channel the depressing spirit of financial collapse and austerity present everywhere around us. The subject line: “Your Gmail is almost out of storage.” The body, in essence: This is a shakedown—pay us a subscription fee in perpetuity, and we will continue granting you what we once promised would be free access to your own life and memories. The message wouldn’t have triggered such resistance had I not been receiving it from every other quarter of my digital life simultaneously—if Apple hadn’t already ransacked my pockets for subscription fees to maintain my ever-expanding photo archive, and to insure and finance “care” for my ever more expensive assortment of its products; if Microsoft hadn’t insisted that I subscribe to its word-processing software; if so many talented, enterprising friends and acquaintances didn’t now depend on Substack and Patreon donations; if I didn’t have to rent my music library from Spotify instead of owning my own records; if I didn’t have to fork over Prime fees to Amazon for my packages and to watch professional tennis; if I hadn’t been obliged to maintain Netflix, Canal+, and AppleTV accounts so that my children would sit quietly on airplanes; if Elon Musk hadn’t promised to render my tweets invisible if I didn’t pay him in monthly $8 installments. By the time those damn Gmail requests became unignorable, I had long since reached the point of peak micropayments. I was drowning in subscriptions. Continued here

The Revelatory Portraits of Paolo Di Paolo On the principle that it takes one to know one, Bruce Weber celebrates the extraordinary life and work of another photographer, the nonagenarian Paolo Di Paolo, in the documentary “The Treasure of His Youth” (opening on Dec. 9, at Film Forum). Starting in 1949, Di Paolo bore witness to social changes in postwar Italy and created revelatory portraits of some of its culture heroes, such as Anna Magnani and Pier Paolo Pasolini—and then, in 1968, abandoned photography. In interviews, Di Paolo displays a personality that’s as original as his art. © 2022 Condé Nast. All rights reserved.

The effort is part of the broader #WelcomeToCanada campaign. As scholars who study migration, we have joined this effort, alongside experts and organizations across the country serving and protecting the rights of migrants and refugees. Continued here

Diversity in the workplace isn't enough: Businesses need to work toward inclusion Diversity is now widely believed to be good for business. In the corporate world, it’s often referred to as Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Accessibility (EDIA) or Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) training or awareness. Not surprisingly, there is now a desire across all sectors to understand how organizations can harness diversity and inclusion to increase employee performance and well-being. Yet workplace diversity programs can often be ineffective, or even backfire. And when they do work, some programs can be unsustainable. Continued here

How Dan Andrews pulled off one of the most remarkable victories in modern politics As the 2022 Victorian election campaign moved into its final days late last week, the consensus within the major parties, various community independent candidates, new little parties furious about lockdowns, and the mainstream media was that the election was a referendum on the premier, Daniel Andrews. Curiously, no-one publicly made the obvious point that if this were so, it was also by definition a referendum on the opposition leader, Matthew Guy. If Andrews, seeking re-election for a third term, was putting the Yes case, then Guy was running the argument for No. Continued here

A cutting-edge radar system could be a front-line tool to fight dangerous space junk Enter a new idea from researchers in Iran — using a novel type of radar to detect and track space debris before it becomes a danger. Space debris is becoming more and more of a real problem. We’re not quite at Kessler syndrome levels yet, but with the increased interest in getting things into space, there is a real possibility that might happen in the not-too-distant future.

Great Jones' Cult-Fave Cookware Is Up to 50% Off Right Now If there was a cookware line whose metaphorical high school yearbook superlative would be “most likely to appear in a Wes Anderson movie,” it would probably be Great Jones. Bright colors, sleek designs, economic use of space, and a bold stylistic flair sets Great Jones apart as one of the most fun brands in the game right now. It also helps that Great Jones’ high-quality, artisan workhorses make it one of the most dependable brands in the business. Its Black Friday sale, which runs through the end of Cyber Monday (November 28), sees pots, pans, skillets, and more up to 50% off, meaning that you can add some real *pizzazz* to your kitchen—or those of your homies—this holiday season. Trying to go Dutch this winter? The Dutch Baby 3.5-quart cast iron Dutch oven is nearly half off. Or if, like me, you’re planning to survive on humongous vats of chili and gumbo all winter, you might want the larger 6.75-quart version—The Dutchess—which is $50 off right now. Great Jones’ totally gorgeous King Sear, a 12-inch cast iron skillet that looks like it should be in the kitchen portion of Steve Zissou’s boat, is nearly half off, coming in at a cool $65—a nice price for premium cast iron. But if a nonstick fry pan is more up your alley, the Large Fry is a similar $60. Continued here

Father of Clarity Each day the same now: I wake her up—she’s a woman in the making, and me, I’m still a boy, given this responsibility of another, and my boy, he’s visiting his mother, one thousand miles away. We drive to school each morning, discussing the state of all things— how she will need to use my razor blades, for my legs, she says, and armpits, except she doesn’t say armpits, she says for under my arms. I mention the color of the sky at 8:15 a.m. being something like the color of her eyes seconds after she was born. She responds by asking me what verisimilitude means, and I tell her to look it up. These are the particulars of raising Rumi. Not like when we would once hold hands and write our names in the snow. Not like when she would fall asleep in the bicycle seat tethered to my back as we rode down Colorado pathways. This is El Paso, the face without makeup. We cannot hide behind hiding any longer. The dry cycle never dries the first go-round. Living alone is learning to speak for both sides of the conversation. And God, isn’t this true? And God replies, it is only verisimilitude. Lately, I don’t have much to say, except I wish I could go back to Hejira and that rainy cafe in Asheville, North Carolina. I wish I could go back to the back of the beginning, try again. Like a video game, hit the reset button, throw a love tantrum, force round pegs to fit my square anatomy. I’ve always wanted a kitchen with a view of both sides, and now I’ve got two, El Paso / Juárez. It’s like looking through a kaleidoscope that refracts the surreality of our days. See here, a mountain preaches, with accent:La Biblia es la verdad, leéla. See here, the river howls in American twang:Go back to where you come from. Between the two, a chaparral bows:This is not what brotherhood looks like. This is not the conversation for Rumi, though. She reminds me of this. Held up the bird. Unnamed still. Trained it to land on her finger. How it returns to its cage when it flies too far. I’m the opposite. I return to flying when I’m too far in the cage. She’s always been a friend-soul to me. More than a daughter. The hierarchy is this: I make her eggs with arugula and toast. She eats them. We attempt yoga in the mornings. There is a peacefulness in our routine. We don’t speak about the day when all of this will be nothing more than a poem. Continued here

People Leaders Need Data-Driven Technology Too The pandemic permanently shifted traditional expectations of the workplace and prompted workers to begin rethinking the notion of job security and how work meaningfully fits into their lives. The resulting shifts in employee sentiment have left employers to navigate new expectations of flexibility, career choices and job roles, and purpose. In fact, employees are increasingly prioritizing a deeper range of factors at work, including a company’s ethics and alignment in values. In ADP Research Institute’s annual global study of more than 32,000 workers from 17 countries, “People at Work 2022: A Global Workforce View,” 76% of workers said they would consider looking for a new job if they discovered that their company had an unfair gender pay gap or no diversity and inclusion policy. These evolving expectations are occurring at a time when the stakes have never been higher for companies. In the current labor market, where there are more jobs than job seekers, recruitment and retention are among the most pressing business issues for employers. This is a critical moment for businesses to think holistically about their employer brands and build meaningful connections with their people. Continued here

Amazon can barely keep these weird things in stock because they're so genius Throughout the day-to-day, there are often those moments where you think, “If only I had a [insert strange object] to accomplish [insert annoying daily task].” It could be dealing with the conundrum of how to store your seasonal items when you have zero extra space or figuring out how to get up in the morning without hitting the snooze button 22 times. This list is here to help you: Amazon can barely keep these weird things in stock because they’re so genius. Feast your eyes on vacuum storage bags that will literally reduce even seriously bulky items like comforters to 80% of their original size. Or get yourself out of bed in the morning by chasing around an alarm clock on wheels that will jump, turn, shake, and hide from you to get your blood pumping fast. Continued here

Football Has Found Its New Bogeyman An analytics revolution has made the sport even more entertaining. So why are some fans and commentators against it? An analytics revolution comes for every sport sooner or later. MLB had Moneyball in the early 2000s and has moved well beyond it in the years since. The NBA has used efficiency to all but kill the mid-range jump shot. Soccer has seen an influx of countless new ways to measure passes and scoring chances down to the finest detail. Continued here

The myth of the evil stepmother The fictional world is rife with stepmothers who are highly unpleasant – or even murderous monsters. Think Snow White’s envy-ridden stepmother; the witch in Hansel and Gretel, who banishes her stepchildren to the woods, both belong to a class of evil women with “voracious appetites for human fare, sometimes even for the flesh and blood or for the liver and heart of their own relatives”, wrote Maria Tatar, a professor of literature, folklore and mythology at Harvard University, in The Hard Facts of the Grimms' Fairy Tales. At bare minimum, these villainous characters are painted as cold and unloving. In the 1950 Disney adaption of Cinderella, the vicious Lady Tremaine forces her stepdaughter into back-breaking labour, and encourages her biological children to shun their stepsister. The 1961 film The Parent Trap features two twins, unknowingly separated when their parents divorced; they join forces to overthrow their father’s horrible new fiancée, and reunite their family. And in the comedy-horror Wicked Stepmother, which first showed in 1989, the character played by Bette Davis is not only a stepmother, but also a literal and figurative witch. Continued here

A museum 2,300 years in the making Michael Boulware Moore grew up listening to his grandmother's story about a 23-year-old enslaved man named Robert Smalls, who seized a Confederate ship in the Charleston harbour during the US Civil War and sailed to freedom. He rescued other enslaved people, including his young family. Later, he became a statesman, serving five non-consecutive terms in the US House of Representatives. So when Moore was hired in 2016 as the founding CEO of the widely heralded International African American Museum (slated to open in Charleston, South Carolina, in January 2023), he felt especially connected to its mission to honour the stories of African American journey.

This strange phenomenon's trajectory is an intriguing one, and ASMR content is now popular worldwide. Continued here

A Clockwork Orange: 60-year-old teen slang that still shocks Within the first few lines of Anthony Burgess's 1962 novel A Clockwork Orange, we are lured into a near-future after-dark realm, and a strangely potent new language. Fifteen-year-old Alex, the tale's ultraviolent anti-hero and "humble narrator", addresses us in the flip horrorshow slovos – that is, crazy, brilliant words – of Nadsat: a youth slang concocted by the polyglot author. The word "Nadsat" derives from a Russian suffix meaning "teen", and the language of A Clockwork Orange is a vivid blitz of English and Russian words ("horrorshow" stems from the Russian term khorosho, meaning "good") with varied additives: Elizabethan flourishes ("thou"; "thee and thine"; "verily"); Arabic; German; nursery rhyming.

2023 meteor shower calendar: When to see the brightest shows of the year The arrival of a new year isn’t just something to be measured in terms of days and resolutions we’ve started to forget. The Earth is set in another trip around the Sun, and getting ready to pass through the same spots it visited last year. That doesn’t mean it’s stuck in a rut — it means it’s time to start looking for meteor showers, as we pass through the streams of meteors left behind by our interplanetary neighbors. The northern hemisphere’s biggest meteor showers — the Quadrantids, the Perseids, and the Geminids — come in January, August, and December, but there are plenty of other shows that will make it worth your while to stay up late — or get up very early. Here are the dates, times, tips, and tales of the biggest meteor showers coming your way in 2023. Continued here

Now You See Me, Now Im Gone Technology-enabled remote work and changing work norms are making it easier for people to change roles or employers without uprooting themselves.1 But technology may play another role in employee mobility by making their contributions more visible. Our research shows how increased performance visibility can impact turnover. Now that organizations are using digital collaboration tools like Slack, Microsoft Teams, Zoom, HubSpot, and Salesforce extensively, individual-level contributions and talents are gaining visibility. These tools don't just facilitate the work itself; they also capture who does what and how it's done, giving managers a clearer view of how teams work.2 They also make it easier for remote workers to connect with mentors and others in their organization who can help them grow and advance. Those recent developments intersect with another trend that's been around a bit longer: Through online conferences, courses, publications, and online platforms such as LinkedIn and Substack, people can widely share and promote their expertise in many formats — articles, podcasts, videos, newsletters, tutorials, live coaching sessions, virtual presentations, and so on. The content they generate serves as marketing for their employers, but it also builds their professional reputations. And that, too, enhances visibility and mobility — not just for superstars, but for a much larger cohort of workers.

Released in November 1992 as the lead single from The Bodyguard: Original Soundtrack Album, it topped the Billboard Hot 100 for 14 consecutive weeks – then a record – and won two Grammy awards. Thirty years after it came out, it remains the best-selling single of all time by a female artist. The Bodyguard's soundtrack album, which reeled off four further hits from Houston including I'm Every Woman and I Have Nothing, went on to sell 45 million copies worldwide.

Released on November 27, 2002, the concept for this Disney animated adventure certainly sounds intriguing: take Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic pirate novel, give it a sci-fi edge, and set it in space. Who doesn’t love space pirates? Add some big names to the voice actor roster (Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Emma Thompson, David Hyde Pierce, and Brian Murray) plus some spectacular animation, and Disney should have had a guaranteed hit. In fact, it even earned a nomination for Best Animated Feature Film — but lost to Spirited Away. Continued here S22 The Generation We’re gathered around Victor’s body. I can’t look at his face and don’t want to look down like the others. Find myself staring at the glass of water on the counter. The nervous little ripples. This is why I know the hum is there, although I can’t hear it. None of us has ever heard the hum, because we were born into it. But the surface of the water, a crumb dancing on the table, or, sometimes, my face trembling in the mirror reminds me of it. Even if I plug my ears or listen to music, the hum is in my body. From the floor and the walls to my skin and my bones. So I look at the rippling water and think that with Victor, we’ve lost silence. It was only in his head, of course. A memory. But now we don’t even have that. Now there’s only the hum. When all lights are out, darkness is total and loneliness absolute. An infinite cage. That’s why they’re seldom turned off. And that’s why we all giggled with relief when Victor came in, holding the cake in one hand and a small flashlight in the other. It was pointed at the ceiling, like a candle. Everyone started to sing. As Victor walked toward me, the light under his chin magnified different parts of his face with each step. The blood vessels glowing in his nostrils. The confusion of his white beard. During the last “happy,” the entire cavern of his mouth was lit. One of his molars was blue. Who knows what he’d recast to make it. I closed my eyes, made a wish, and blew on the flashlight, which Victor switched off just in time. They all cheered. The lights were immediately turned back on. Continued here S5 Teletubbies: The bizarre kids' TV show that swept the world In March 1998 more than 1,500 television bigwigs from 82 different countries descended on the Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre in London. They had come for the second ever World Summit on Television for Children. Various topics were up for discussion – funding, regulation, new media – but one word was on everybody's lips: Teletubbies. The preschool show, created by Ragdoll Productions for the BBC, had begun airing in the UK a year earlier, documenting the antics of four giant, alien-looking babies with antennae atop their heads and televisions in their tummies. It was a runaway hit with both adults and children. Talk of wibbly-wobbly bottoms and Tubby Toast had swept the nation. But Tinky Winky, Laa-Laa, Dipsy and Po, with their proto chatter and penchant for repetition, had experts worried. "Teletubbies: are they wising up or dumbing down?" posed the moderator at the summit's first session. A robust exchange ensued. "Regressive" and "vaguely evil" were just some of the verbal shots fired. Ada Haug, head of pre-school programmes at Norway's NRK, accused Teletubbies of being "the most market-oriented children's programme concept I've ever seen". Mounting a passionate defence, Alice Cahn, a director at the US PBS network (which had just acquired Teletubbies), dismissed the criticisms as "ludicrous". She then shocked the audience with an insult lifted from a well-known Saturday Night Live sketch, though it's unclear whether Haug got the joke. The exchange was promptly quoted in newspapers from Paris to New York to Hong Kong: the debate had gone global.

This resistance has knock-on effects on animal and human health. We wanted to find out whether this was likely to be a problem in Nigeria’s poultry markets, where live birds are sold.
