Underused for years, giant cave under Barangaroo finally has a future

Underused for years, giant cave under Barangaroo finally has a future

It’s been underutilized for seven years: a grand cavernous space carved from the harbor headland best known as the backdrop for several car television commercials and a venue for the 2022 Biennale.

The NSW government is poised to announce a new fit-out to revive Barangaroo’s the Cutaway amid mounting pressure for it to deliver an Indigenous art and cultural center at Barangaroo’s Headland Park.

The Cutaway, Barangaroo is destined for a refit.

Metropolitan Local Aboriginal Land Council chief executive Nathan Moran says it is a “travesty” that Sydney lacks a culture center staffed and governed by Aboriginal people or a permanent keeping place for Aboriginal cultural artefacts.

“It’s a space as big as the Opera House’s main performance hall, and it’s really sad that this space remains empty; vacant despite our best endeavors to put together cultural projects of the highest quality. To leave it practically empty is an embarrassment for everyone. I’m not joking when I say we’d be better using it as an indoor cricket space.

“At a national Indigenous cultural center at Barangaroo, we could not only show arts and dance but carving, weaving storytelling, the whole gamut, and we could have exhibitions and displays and artist in residents sharing their culture from right across the country.”

The Cutaway, with its flexible shell space, 6500-square-meter footprint and cathedral-like ceilings, is buried in a hill created from a flat wharf – largely the result of Paul Keating’s vision to reinstate the naturalistic headland.

The Cutaway has been carved out of sandstone rock with parking for 300 cars under its floor.

Infrastructure NSW identified a national Indigenous center as a priority in 2016, a project subsequently costed at about $600 million. More recently, the agency has been developing concept plans to upgrade utilities, and acoustics at the Cutaway to create a versatile function space and potential art gallery.

Asked about its plans, Infrastructure NSW declined to go into specifics but said the refit would allow the Cutaway to realize its full potential as one of Sydney’s premier venues for national and international events.

Young Mother Shot and Killed While Picking Up Son From Babysitter in Morris – NBC Chicago

Young Mother Shot and Killed While Picking Up Son From Babysitter in Morris – NBC Chicago

Police have arrested a teenage boy after an hours-long manhunt that began Thursday when he fatally shot a young mother as she picked her son up from a babysitter in Morris, authorities said.

Beverly Lambert, 25, of Shorewood, had just left her job and was picking up her 2-year-old son, Jace, when she was fatally shot. According to the Grundy County State’s Attorney’s Office, a 16-year-old boy randomly chose to ask Lambert for a ride, and she agreed.

When she went to pick up her son from a babysitter, the teenager allegedly shot her twice in the head. The boy then took off in his car, sending police on a search for the next three hours. Police later tracked the vehicle to Joliet, where the suspect led officers on a short foot pursuit before being taken into custody, authorities said.

Beverly’s best friend since third grade, Myriah Weatherspoon, said she’s trying to understand why and how this could happen to someone so selfless and so strong. Despite hardships, Beverly finished college and was focused on building a better life for her baby boy.

“She was always focused on advancing herself and now that she has a son, she wanted a better life for him,” Weatherspoon said.

Lambert leaves not only her son, but so many friends and family members, to live through her absence.

“She was really just a beautiful, super loving friend, mother, sister,” Weatherspoon said.

The 16-year-old suspect is being held in a detention center in Joliet and is expected in court again on Aug. 18.

Pokémon Go dataminer indicates a Battle Pass may be coming to the game

Pokémon Go dataminer indicates a Battle Pass may be coming to the game

A notorious data mining group, known as PokeMiners on Twitter, discovered a new item in Pokémon Go’s file called the “Battle Pass Ticket.” The ticket was discovered as part of the game around August 3, and the dataminers didn’t specify what the item entails. Since it’s a ticket, the Battle Pass Ticket will most likely give players access to an upcoming event where they can gain items. Niantic has released ticketed events beforehand in Pokémon Go, sometimes bringing new exclusive cosmetics for players to collect.

The Battle Pass Ticket was probably included in the game during the latest update and will likely be available to purchase on a date not so far off. Expect to hear something official about it soon from Niantic, but currently, the Battle Pass Ticket can only be uncovered through data mining and will not give you access to anything yet. Ticketed events like Battle Passes generally cost real-world money to buy, so expect to see the new Battle Pass Ticket show up in the game’s store.

Sometimes, special events like Battle Pass are when players can gain exclusive items like outfits, poses, and Pokémon costumes. However, other times Niantic will reward participating event goers with a surplus of common items that players can gain through normal gameplay, like extra poffins, incense, Pokéballs, and Poké Coins. We can only wait and see what the new Battle Pass will have, yet based on the comments on PokeMiners Tweet, fans are not optimistic about the chances of the Battle Pass including exclusive items.

pokeminers are a well-regarded group and have been reliable in the past. They datamine name files, assets, and some cosmetics for Pokémon Go. They are the ones that usually discover what type of poses and Pokémon Outfits that will be coming to the game before Niantic officially announces them. That said, every leak should be taken with a grain of salt until Niantic makes an official announcement.

NRL ScoreCentre: South Sydney Rabbitohs vs New Zealand Warriors live scores, stats and results

Penrith Panthers' Stephen Crichton is at the centre of a melee with Canberra Raiders players during an NRL match.

The tests don’t come much bigger for Canberra, whose bid to move into the top eight will be tested by Penrith.

Earlier, South Sydney made light work of the Warriors on the Sunshine Coast and tonight Cronulla and St George Illawarra play out the latest chapter of their heated rivalry.

Check out all the live scores and stats below.

South Sydney’s top-four ambitions remain intact following a ruthless 48-10 victory over the Warriors.

The Rabbitohs made easy work of a hapless Warriors outfit at Sunshine Coast Stadium, effectively having the contest put to bed when they scored six tries to one in the first half.

Adding two more to the Rabbitohs’ tally in the second stanza, star fullback Latrell Mitchell was given an early rest with 18 minutes to play after a perfect game off the tee.

Mitchell kicked all eight conversions, adding two tries and two try assists to go with two line assists and two linebreaks.

Perhaps the pick of his contributions was the sliced ​​cut-out pass that found Izaac Thompson on debut to score his first NRL try and the Rabbitohs’ seventh of the afternoon.

Skipper Cameron Murray was one of nine Rabbitohs’ players to run for over 100 meters and had three try assists in the first 16 minutes before putting Lachlan Ilias over in the third minute.

He also linked up with hooker Damien Cook off a midfield linebreak to set up the hooker for the Rabbitohs’ second.

A deft offload to Tevita Tatola gave the Rabbitohs their third, before Murray put a strong shot on Dallin Watene-Zelezniak 25 meters from the Warriors’ line to win back possession.

It led to Ilias setting up Keaon Koloamatangi as Souths piled on 24 points in the first 21 minutes of the match.

Edward Kosi hit back for the away side in their first and only real opportunity of the opening half, but Jai Arrow then found an offload through three tacklers for Mitchell to crash over.

Mitchell then put Alex Johnston in for his 23rd try of the season as the Rabbitohs enjoyed a 36-6 advantage at the break.

It marked the fifth straight match South Sydney had scored 30 points or more against the Warriors.

The Rabbitohs’ dominance continued in the second half with the only blight coming through Shaun Johnson’s try in the 50th minute in a rare attacking opportunity inside South Sydney’s 20-meter line.

Victory over the Warriors saw the Rabbitohs leap-frog the Roosters and Broncos to move to sixth on the ladder, their dominant win also their biggest of 2022.

But the run into the finals is tough for last season’s grand finalists.

Four matches against top eight sides remain for the Rabbitohs, who face Parramatta, competition leaders Penrith, North Queensland and the Roosters to round out the regular season.

Boroondara elderly residents abandoned by private aged care provider after council exit

Boroondara elderly residents abandoned by private aged care provider after council exit

Nielsen said she was fortunate, as she could clean for herself if she did a little bit every day, but she was concerned for residents who needed assistance showering and with personal care.

“I’m more likely to fail over the vacuum cleaner,” she said. “I can wheel it around, but I’m a bit clumsy with it so that’s why I appreciate having somebody else to do it for me. I do feel sorry for people who are in more dire straits than I am. ”

Megan Peniston-Bird, 77, is disabled with arthritis and her 84-year-old husband has emphysema. The couple has received in-home care from Boroondara council for 10 years, assisting with cleaning.

She was also expecting someone to provide in-home care on Tuesday, but nobody turned up.

“It’s a complete balls-up,” she said. ”It has been absolutely negligent. This is a council that should know better. This is all supposed to be us living in the community and not costing the government a fortune by being in care.”

Boroondara’s decision to exist aged care services was opposed by many elderly residents at the time, who said they were not properly consulted and did not want to change carers.

loading

A spokesman for Boroondara said mecwacare had advised the council and the government it needed six weeks to transition the elderly residents in Boroondara to its services, and the council had worked to this time frame.

“Mecwacare never disclosed any concern regarding staffing shortages and possible impact to services to council prior to commencing the transition of this Commonwealth government service,” the spokesman said. “If there are service issues, this is a matter for the Commonwealth government as the owner of the service and mecwacare as its provider.”

Boroondara said it made the switch because of the introduction of the government’s Support at Home program, which requires providers to offer specialist services such as occupational therapy and physiotherapy.

A Department of Health and Aged Care spokesman said when Boroondara made the decision to no longer provide aged care services, the government undertook a “rigorous process” to select a new provider.

“It is a matter for both the outgoing and incoming providers to manage the organization and staffing requirements involved in the transition,” the spokesman said. “The department notes there has been some disruption to services as mecwacare on-boards staff. Mecwacare is actively recruiting additional aged care staff to manage the increase in client numbers.”

He said it was unfortunate, but disruptions could occur due to the competitive environment for staff at the moment.

Australian Services Union secretary Lisa Darmanin said Boroondara’s decision to stop providing in-home aged care services had put the welfare of elderly residents at risk.

“Local councils are trusted, reliable providers of in-home aged care services and should not abandon vulnerable elderly residents by ending their role in aged care,” she said. “Privatization of in-home aged care services is not just a policy failure, it is a risk to elderly people who rely on essential in-home aged care service.”

Darmanin said the privatization of aged care services was an issue across the state.

loading

”The ASU is looking into the continuity of aged care services where other councils have recently made the misguided decision to privatize in-home aged care,” she said. “Every councillor elected to a council still providing in-home aged care services needs to look very closely at what’s happened in Boroondara and consider if that’s what they want [to happen to] elderly people in their community.”

The Municipal Association of Victoria said 23 councils around the state were discontinuing their aged care services or had already done so.

MAV president David Clark said councils had long been providers of services within the aged care services.

“As the federal reforms to the whole aged care sector continue to be implemented, we continue to call for the reforms to provide the capacity that allows councils to remain as service providers without an unfair burden and ensure that any service changes don’t leave older Victorians worse off, in terms of the service they receive,” he said.

Mecwacare did not respond to requests for comment.

Federal judge rules Georgia utility commission election harms Black voting power

ajc-burgerMenu-background

And it could portend major changes to the commission, a somewhat obscure state regulatory body with five GOP members who play a key role in deciding how electricity used in Georgia is generated and how much customers pay for it. The five commissioners serve six-year terms and earn a salary of $126,000.

“This ruling immediately impacts how millions of Georgians will elect those powerful officials who determine how much everyday folks must pay for basic utilities,” said Nico Martinez, an attorney for the plaintiffs. “It is one of the most important decisions to advance voting rights in a generation.”

During a five-day trial that concluded in July, Grimberg heard testimony from plaintiffs who alleged that Georgia’s system of statewide elections for the commissioners denies Black voters an opportunity to elect their preferred candidates.

While nearly one-third of Georgia voters are Black, they’re always outnumbered by the state’s white majority that tends to elect Republicans.

The plaintiffs noted that just one Black candidate has ever won an election to the Public Service Commission in its 143-year history, when Democrat David Burgess retained his seat in 2000 after being appointed to the post.

Hyosub Shin / [email protected]

State attorney Bryan Tyson countered during the proceedings that Black voters have been able to participate in the political process. Just because their candidates haven’t won, I added, doesn’t mean the voting system is discriminatory.

Public Service Commission chair Tricia Pridemore also testified that statewide elections “provide centralization of thought for energy and utility policy.” The structure allows commissioners to decide thorny issues, such as where to locate new power plants, in the “best interest of the whole state.”

Still, few Black candidates from either party have won statewide non-judicial elections. Over the past 22 years, only four politicians can claim that accomplishment: US Sen. Raphael Warnock, former Attorney General Thurbert Baker, former Labor Commissioner Michael Thurmond and Burgess. All are Democrats.

Two Black members have been appointed to the Public Service Commission. Johnson is one of them. He was tapped by Gov. Brian Kemp to fill a vacancy and was up for a full term in November.

The other Public Service Commission member who was to stand for election this year is Echols, an incumbent Republican who was involved in an effort to draw his opponent out of his district.

The statewide voting process to fill commission seats dates back to a 1906 law, but the current system is newer. In 1998, the Democratic-controlled Legislature approved a law that required members to live in one of five geographic districts, though they continued to be elected statewide.

Across the country, Georgia and six other states elect utility regulators statewide, while five states hold elections for geographic districts. In most states, however, members of regulatory bodies are chosen by governors or legislatures.

Grimberg, a Donald Trump appointee, heard testimony from members of the NAACP, Black Voters Matter and Georgia Conservation Voters. The witnesses argued that the system violated Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, which prohibits racially discriminatory voting laws.

Among the witnesses was Lindy Miller, a Democrat who won every county in her geographic district in 2018 but lost the election statewide to Republican Chuck Eaton. She said the statewide vote creates an “accountability” problem that allows candidates to sidestep issues important to Black communities.

Grimberg made clear that his ruling doesn’t apply to other statewide at-large elections, but rather was specifically tailored to block any Public Service Commission election using this method.

What happens next is not immediately clear and the secretary of state’s office, which oversees elections, had no comment on the timeline.

The judge’s ruling, however, indicated the two commissioners, Echols and Johnson, would “holdover” and remain in their positions until districts are redrawn by state legislators next year and a new election is set. If lawmakers don’t comply with the ruling, Grimberg would draft the boundaries himself.

Former NAACP state President James Woodall, who was among the plaintiffs in the lawsuit, celebrated the ruling.

“This determination assures us that our current claims of voter suppression are legitimate and that Black voters have for generations been prevented from full access to democracy,” he said.

Staff writer Mark Niesse contributed to this report.

Guilty Gear Strive Crossplay Beta Test Release Date Announced

GameRevolution logo

the Guilty Gear Strike crossplay beta test has been revealed during a panel at EVO 2022 and given a firmer release date window of mid-September 2022. The crossplay beta for the game between PS5, PS4, and Steam was originally announced during a livestream at ARCEVO 2021, but no confirmation on a potential date was provided at the time, apart from it arriving in Season 2.

The Guilty Gear Strive Season 2 roadmap for 2022-2023

Guilty Gear Strive Crossplay Beta Test

The Guilty Gear Strive crossplay beta is front and center for the game’s current schedule for the rest of 2022. The panelists from Arc System Works didn’t have too much information to provide on the upcoming test, but they mentioned that the official website will have details soon. If the beta goes well, the developers hope to see crossplay across the three platforms pushed immediately into the game.

In preparation for the beta test, Arc System Works plans to reduce input delay for the PS5 version of the game, with the panelists hoping that it matches the same input delay as the PS4 Pro version. In addition, on Steam the developer wants to reduce the connection time for the initial server connections. Across Summer and Fall 2022, two new characters will also be revealed, with a Battle Balance Patch arriving in Winter 2022. Beyond that, two additional characters and two new stages are planned in 2023.

While Multiversus is taking the fighting genre by storm in recent months, Guilty Gear Strive is currently the premier tournament at EVO 2022. The current number of entrants for it is 2,161 players, compared to the only 1,320 entrants for Street Fighter V and 1,220 entrants for Tekken 7. We’ll have to see how long it can stay at the top, though, with Multiversus and Street Fighter 6 likely making an appearance at EVO 2023.

In other news, the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate Family Sharing program has entered beta testing in limited markets, and the Nintendo Switch OLED Splatoon 3 Edition is the only new console this year.

Anger over private jet emissions: Tom Cruise, Kylie Jenner, Taylor Swift among A-listers named and shamed

Anger over private jet emissions: Tom Cruise, Kylie Jenner, Taylor Swift among A-listers named and shamed

Quaffing champagne at 40,000ft, flying from glitzy party to awards dos and back again in time for bed — it’s a hard life being an A-lister with your own luxury jet.

But the high life has come under fire this week, as celebrities are being named and shamed for their excessive use of private plans.

A single private jet emits as much carbon dioxide in an hour as the average person does in an entire year, with private flights 14 times more polluting (per passenger) than a commercial plane.

Yet their super-rich owners — many of whom boast about their apparent eco credentials — are hopping on and off their jets for trips that last less than 15 minutes. Using data compiled by an international flight tracker, British marketing agency Yard compiled a list of the worst offenders.

So whose plane is the worst polluter? And who’s the biggest climate hypocrite among the high fliers?

Kylie Jenner

THE JET: Kim Kardashian’s younger sister Kylie has been labeled a “climate criminal” for repeated short haul trips on her £60 million jet. Last month, the billionaire social media star, 24, shared a picture on Instagram showing two private plans — her own de ella and one belonging to her rapper boyfriend, Travis Scott — with the smug caption: “You wanna take mine or yours ?”.

She bought the all-white 59.6ft-long Bombardier Global 7500 on a reported spending spree in 2020.

The exterior features her name and a Barbie-pink strip, while the interiors have white seats, pink satin pillows and eye masks (bearing ‘Kylie Skin’, the name of her make-up range) and colored lights that can be set to different hues depending on the time of day. There are Hermes blankets for guests, two bathrooms, a master suite and an on-board wardrobe.

FLIGHTS TAKEN: 64 this year.

SHORTEST FLIGHT: 12 minutes (Van Nuys to Camarillo, both in California).

CO2 EMITTED: 1,682.7 tons — 240 times the average person.

ECO BOASTS: Kylie prides herself on buying eco-friendly products for her daughter Stormi, four, and made her make-up range vegan last year, telling followers she was going ‘vegan and clean’ because it was ‘time to elevate’ for the planet.

TAYLOR SWIFT

THE JET: The 32-year-old singer — worth an estimated £470 million — bought her private plane, a £33 million Dassault-Breguet Mystere falcon 900, in 2011. With its plush cream interiors and in-built flat screen TVs, it features 18 fully reclining seats and a distinctive number 13 on the side (her lucky number and birth date in December).

She used to own two jets but sold the smaller one (worth a mere £4.9 million) in early 2020.

FLIGHTS TAKEN: 170 this year

SHORTEST FLIGHT: 36 minutes (Missouri to Nashville, Tennessee).

CO2 EMITTED: 8,293.54 tons — 1,185 times the average person’s annual carbon emissions of seven tons.

ECO BOASTS: in 2020, Taylor was branded a “sustainable fashion influencer” by Vogue. In another interview that same year, she branded climate change a “horrific situation.”

A representative defended her apparent air miles, saying that her jet is “loaned out regularly to other individuals”. They added: “To attribute most or all of these trips to her de ella is blatantly incorrect”.

OPRAH WINFREY

THE JET: With an estimated net worth of more than £2 billion, it’s no wonder TV host Oprah has her own posh plane. The 68-year-old bought a £62 million Gulfstream G650 in 2016, reportedly after becoming irritated when a female fan asked her for a hug while she was waiting in an airport queue.

The opulent jet, which can comfortably fit 16, is divided into four themed areas: dine, work, entertain and relax.

There’s a double bed, a conference room and a dining area as well as an on-board chef.

FLIGHTS TAKEN: 68 this year.

SHORTEST FLIGHT: 14 minutes (Van Nuys to Santa Barbara, California).

CO2 EMITTED: 3,493.17 tons — 499 times the average person.

ECO BOASTS: “The future of life as we know it is being determined by everything we’re doing — and not doing — now,” wrote Oprah, in a 2019 post calling on fans to do their bit for the environment.

MARK WAHLBERG

THE JET: actor Mark, 51, owns a £9.9 million Bombardier global Express jet, which he bought in 2016. The top-of-the-range model — which he had renovated at vast expense last year — has a large ‘W’ on the tail and such a spacious cabin that the fitness-obsessed star can do workouts on board.

Pictures from his social media show soft beige furnishings and polished wood, as well as several screens so his four children can benefit from the high-speed wi-fi. Mark came under fire last month for taking a series of short flights from London to Dublin (48 minutes) and then on to Shannon (23 minutes) for a round of golf.

FLIGHTS TAKEN: 101 this year.

SHORTEST FLIGHT: nine minutes (Los Angeles to Van Nuys, California).

CO2 EMITTED: 3,772.85 tons — 538.9 times the average person.

ECO BOASTS: in 2020, Mark publicly pledged to give up meat and dairy to reduce its impact on the planet. Yet he has said his jet from him is his “personal 21st century transporter” that takes him “anywhere in the world”.

Kim Kardashian

THE JET: Bedecked in cashmere, the reality TV star’s £124 million jet, ‘Kim Air’, is as gaudy as you might expect. Kim, 41, owns a Gulfstream G650ER, a blingier version of the plans belonging to Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk.

Hers has been customized inside and out, masterminded by interior designer Waldo Fernandez, whose clients have also included Elizabeth Taylor and Brad Pitt. The 18-seater jet features wood paneling, two beds and two bathrooms as well as ‘enhanced air ionisation’, which recreates a fresh breeze at high altitude.

Guests wear slippers from Skims, Kim’s underwear brand, lest they muddy the carpet.

FLIGHTS TAKEN: 57 this year.

SHORTEST FLIGHT: Ten minutes (Van Nuys to Camarillo, California).

CO2 EMITTED: 4,268.5 tons — 609.8 times the average person.

ECO BOASTS: The reality star has spoken in the past about wanting her businesses to be more environmentally-friendly. In 2019, she praised climate activist Greta Thunberg, and, a year later, she tweeted: ‘Climate change is real’ alongside an emoji of a broken heart.

TOM CRUISE*

THE JET: The Top Gun star, 60, owns not one but five private jets — the most opulent of which is the 19-seat Gulfstream IV, worth around £16.5 million.

The aircraft, nicknamed the limousine of the jet world, is decked out with a Jacuzzi and top-of-the-range cinema room, as well as elegant soft furnishings. The actor often flies his private plans himself, having qualified for his pilot’s license in 1994. He also sends them on gratuitous gifting missions around the world.

Last Christmas, he reportedly flew 300 cakes by private jet from his favorite bakery in California to London for the cast and crew of the Mission: Impossible film franchise — a round trip of 5,500 miles.

FLIGHTS TAKEN: 20.

SHORTEST FLIGHT: 12 minutes (Shannon to Killarney, Ireland).

CO2 EMITTED: 149.6 tons — 21.4 times the average person.

ECO BOASTS: In 2019, Tom was among the A-listers criticized for flying privately to Google’s climate change camp in 2019, a faux pas he repeated this May when he took one of his jets to the eco-friendly Cannes film festival.

* Flight data only collected since June 10.

FLOYD MAYWEATHER

THE JET: One of the ‘richest sportsmen of all time’ (his career earnings top £900 million) the 45-year-old retired boxer owns a £50 million Gulfstream G650 jet called ‘Air Mayweather’.

Floyd bought it for his 41st birthday and shares images enjoying massages, haircuts and poker games aboard.
