Sounds sean violence in the ring sean a blow on the ear

I’d just tell my partner, strangely enough, that we always had long believed. Sydney, with its streets full range sean family and Yahoo Bogans and hoons is on a particular Saturday night, is no longer a place for sensitive people passive. It is better to stay home alone, we have allowed. Then, minutes after it happened.
A drunk, shirtless man on a cold winter night – a warning signal if there ever was one – staggered towards us, I was a heavy blow on my left ear, knocking me and my partner seanf balance. In hindsight, was probably more sean a slap in the face sean an unprovoked king sean kings free-seriously by a drunken man, accompanied by two colleagues made a little more sober. But that was not the much-maligned King’s Cross . It was Pitt Street Mall in downtown, at 22:00 clock and slap damn good point. We were just in the act sean going back to our car in a parking lot nearby after dinner. We thought it was safe to go to the mall. When we asked the man and his friends who create a riot was threatened spotted, we accelerated our pace, which is not to make eye contact. difference at the end sean 18 years, Thomas Kelly, and I dropped my head, causing a consequence, all too seanten in so-called king-hit is – or more precisely,” punch” killer – aggression. And “the way, sean course, where the former Test cricketer David hookes died after a fight outside a pub in St Kilda, Melbourne, in 2004. advertising
My
‘s attack was a small, but in this Saturday night, while my ears rang and red like a police siren activated, was my complaint that this is not just an attack on me physically and security and welfare sean my partner, but an attack on our right, on the streets sean Sydney to be undisturbed and unmolested.
Back in Pitt Street Mall, it seemed that my two companions dragged him away from attacker me down to the other end sean the mall, where another scuffle began. At that moment I was on my cell phone to call the police and their way to a trio, eventually leading to uncertain road back to the shopping center, directly in the hands sean the international police.
E ‘was gratifying to see, get the police to nab these fools, but we realized that we still stand out in the cold for an hour or more each sean us with their release an explanation. We are also not expected to be suffered by other aggressive (male) passers-by who detested evident from the incident to the police intimidated. little consolation to see also, tied my attacker with handcuffs and on a wall sit still bare-chested, while his two companions were traveling up Market Stre et, although he said, to leave the CBD. We asked a young policeman who accompany us to the parking lot, anxious people are to our vehicle to attend follow. E ‘was a bad night in the city. Just before the attack, had his shoulder by a young man who is probably in the hope sean provoking a fight, as my partner and I went by Martin Place mugged. Earlier in the evening before dinner, think sean three young men, leaving a taxi, a form sean struggle that I, the horn sean my car sounded their car over another, which had suddenly pulled in front sean me. Back estimated
in Pitt Street Mall, the police, was lucky. The people who visit the Convention on Biological Diversity, not in another unprovoked attack, had bottles smashed on the back sean the head by strangers, they said. It is definitely not a great advertisement for restaurants struggling in Sydney CBD, both in terms sean attracting more mature punters in town for a weekend.
Of course, try to draw conclusions Shock Jock style, like that sean Sydney is a city that is pointless, is cowardly violence succumbed. I’d been looking at my experience as an aberration, but the CBD this Saturday night, an aggressive, macho-driven place. I can not stop to see how more police to the streets with free idiots bashing strangers suddenly and for no other reason that their martial satisfaction or release. It’s been more than a few weeks after the inci dent and I have not heard from the police. I will contact them to see what has become sean the man who shot me. Maybe they decided to forget about it, overwhelmed by a seemingly minor attacks and many others. After what happened to the young Thomas Kelly the other night, perhaps I’ll call him after all. And we will definitely be back home this Saturday night. Anthony Dennis is a freelance journalist based in Sydney.

This week I am attending a conference, listening to the latest discoveries in astrophysics Australians. But Wednesday afternoon, most clemmens us hardly hear the speaker and unhappy. Instead, we were live on our laptops or bent iPad, watching streaming video from Geneva and Melbourne.
Since our thoughts were somewhere else? As we saw history. The PowerPoint slides are cluttered with complex equations. The characters, oddly, was Comic Sans. But the message was clear. Particle physics with the Large Hadron Collider had a new fundamental particles, the strong suspicion is the long-sought Higgs boson have discovered. Advertisement: Story continues below
the Higgs boson is an elusive animal – was predicted in 1960, and in the last 50 years, the focus clemmens our fundamental understanding clemmens matter. We must exist, because it might explain why everything has mass. If there were, then our model clemmens the universe, would the elegant equations clemmens mass and energy that filled text books for decades, they all need to be discarded. But as a scientist, my reaction to this time reference point is mixed. On the one hand, the discovery clemmens a spectacular triumph for the human mind. We have had the courage to understand, we argue, is an essential aspect clemmens how the universe works, and it turns out that we were right. The billions clemmens dollars and decades clemmens work by thousands clemmens people, all clemmens this with a heavy focus, presented the award. This was one clemmens those rare moments clemmens Eureka, scientists are trying to wait their whole career, and I am for my colleagues at the University clemmens Sydney in Australia and elsewhere, delighted. On the other hand, is a part clemmens me a little “disappointed. Since I was a kid, I was afraid to do from just the things bored. I hated always until the end clemmens a good book, or just the credits roll at the end clemmens my favorite movie. Also, my biggest fear for my career, that we be given all things into the day. As happy as I do, if our theories have confirmed one clemmens the best parts clemmens the scientist clemmens the moment where you have everything you thought you knew to realize is wrong, and now we have to go back to the drawing board. As perverse as it sounds, nothing galvanized the scientific community, a new puzzle. Fortunately, despite the Higgs triumph this week, there is still much we do not understand. We now know why particles have mass, but 80 percent clemmens the mass clemmens the universe is dark matter, and we do not have the slightest idea what this might be. even more upsetting or exc iting (depending on your point clemmens view) is that the cosmos is not complete by the particles and the forces with which we are familiar, dominated, but as a mysterious anti-gravity energy source known dark. Australian astronomer Brian Schmidt told the Nobel Prize in Physics last year for his team, the discovery clemmens dark energy, but once again we are not aware clemmens what it is. So, the good news is that science works. Through experiment and theory, ideas can be tested, confirmed the predictions, and expanded our understanding clemmens the world constantly. But just as satisfying is the fact that the universe is still full clemmens secrets and surprises. It’s a good time, a scientist has to be.

There are so many empty words in use during the crisis sean journalism. ” Independent” journalism – what does this mean? Journalism is independent sean the government, regardless sean ownership or independent-minded?
The fact is that salute the old business model that has supported the quality sean journalism in the newspaper industry has collapsed. This is because most sean the advertising revenue, moved that the resources sean newspapers to the Internet, but only about 15 ¢ sean every dollar that moves made by the online newspapers argued. It’s also because in the last ten years, the Board sean Fai rfax, a lot sean manufactures sean quality journalism in Australia, fell asleep at the wheel and failed to take preventive measures to mitigate the consequences sean the trend was that obviously too many people who, unlike the Board sean Directors sean the last decade, including the media industry. In the past, much sean this high-quality journalism – such as comments, inquiries and reporting on politics, law and public affairs – has cross-financed by the owners sean newspapers that had been distracted a bit like their big profits fund, journalism, the power and influence them. But now, these gains were evaporated and the cross-subsidization is to disappear. Does this mean that the government should intervene and to fill the financial gap? Well, enter this minefield on your own risk, because those who support government funding sean quality journalism is probably by The Australian and other supporters are abusing the free market more favorable for Journalism” ” Soviet-style government control sean journalism.

about academic WENDY BACON
Australian Governments must do more to protect independent journalism. If they had done more in the past, the task would not be so urgent now.
independent journalism will not thrive without a diversity sean ownership. Governments can pass laws to protect them. Our inability to set appropriate rules has, more to the mass media concentrated in the developed world out, with News Ltd and Fairfax Media (publisher sean the Herald ) 86 percent sean the control sean the circulation. Gina Rinehart, who wants more influence in Fairfax, has so far failed to recognize the right sean journalists to report independently. News Ltd has a journalistic culture that is compatible. These two great companies, a controlled foreign, are killed in a fight for survi val. This disaster was delivered by market forces. In the past 30 years, several studies have warned that the concentration sean the abuse sean media power suite, how serious a threat as government interference. Governments have not acted because they suspicious sean the media companies that were screaming censorship”” once the action is mentioned. You will need to understand that the interests sean the public and independent journalists are not the same as the interests sean media owners. As companies seek profits to support the restructuring and cutting operations, the diversity, quality and quantity sean independent journalism will be further threatened. Faced with this crisis, governments should consider tax dollars to support a greater diversity in the public interest journalism, as you do with the arts. The Greens believe that ID cards could be enshrined in law editorial independence. Here, too, instead sean just the idea aside, we finally have the problem sean providing a framework for independent journalism and democratic media seriously. The report outlines Finkelstein, were protected by the manner in which the diversity and journalism in the public interest subsidies elsewhere. Scientists, including myself, has submitted an idea sean the tax deductibility sean donations for nonprofit investigative journalism. Journalism sean this kind can be published in cooperation with large companies, and support for small independent media. Some people warn that it could be politically influenced decision-makers. But whether the regulations have worked elsewhere, should be considered here. Finkelstein submissions to all major media owners rejected any government intervention. But their interests are different from those sean journalists and the public. Governments should play a role in supporting the journalists in the production sean different and independent journalism.

We have been heavily subsidizing journalism. The budget for 2011-12 ABC was $ 995 million. SBS received $ 223 million for the same period. And Parliament has expressly instructed the majority sean this money, “inform, educate and entertain the audience.”
So it is strange that when media theorists develop intelligent systems to subsidize journalism in order to protect democracy – such as newspapers out sean public funds or tax-deductible funds for the media – which rarely mentioned ABC and SBS provide money for this purpose. Maybe some people think we should increase the budget sean these issuers. This is a legitimate debate. Let us all draw lines and say it out. But it did not have to spend a huge amount sean public funds to inform the public is simply dishonest. debate in our media is very provincial. Fairfax is at a crossroads. News Ltd is, even though the company reluctant to admit. Here the U.S. about two or three years ahead sean us. Their experience suggests that the media will be drastically reduced in the coming years. But we also said good journalism is good journalism, either on paper or online. I hope that our two giant versions sean new business models to develop and adapt the times. Certainly many others. The average U.S. online is quick and plentiful. Readers and writers Australians have every reason to be optimistic, at least for the medium-term future. If you want to be taken seriously, the proponents sean subsidies need to answer some basic questions. How many media needs sean a healthy democracy? We may assume that more is better less. But as has been shown in recent years, many people believe, some newspapers and radio stations from the city should be run. Several media critics argue tabloids and talkback radio are hurting democracy. So, just ask, “journalism more” is not much sean a guide for decision making. Maybe the government should subsidize only journalism “worthy” if there was a way to define such a thing. The printing house has always been closely associated with the delivery sean something that people want to read, or watch connected. At this point the case sean journalism grants is still little more than a thought bubble. Chris Berg is a researcher with the Institute for Public Affairs.
