a collection of all the weird things that have happened to me in my life, since one of my friends said i should make one

one of my ex-friends [they cut me off bc i rightfully called out how sus it was that they went from 0 rares to a blue headdress and multiple long collars in a day] just up and vanished one day. i knew them from animal jam. they had a youtube channel and were semi-popular. i was in one of their videos, one of those animal jam adventures we played together. there were rumours they died to some illness but nothing concrete ever came out of that, but two months after that everything of their online presence disappeared. one of my friends made a video on them and their passing out of respect, but that video is gone too despite them never deleting it. we both know they existed, but none of us can find anything on them. everyone else's videos are gone too. everything about them is just gone as if they never existed

this isn't the only friend this has happened to. i've had four other friends just suddenly disappear, every trace of them existing just completely gone. typically every trace of them just disappears after 2 weeks, 2 months, or 2 weeks and 2 months. one friend was mid 2018, another friend in 2017, one in november 2019, another somewhere in early 2021, and another aj friend early 2017

this isnt as weird as everything else but we once took a picture and i saw a shiny object on it and reached down to pick it up just moments after the picture was taken but it was gone. there was only an imprint of it and it was nowhere. nobody had reached down to pick it up before me, and nobody else was around. this isnt the only object this has happened to either.

i found a human pelvis on a beach once. i am the only one that remembers this happened despite me showing both of my parents. they have no recollection of this

this didnt happen to me but it is regarding me. my mom once heard me calling for her in my room - she's in the living room sitting by the computer desk, my room is right behind the wall the computer desk is by. she answers and i don't answer back. one thing is for certain though - this was not an audiotory hallucination. she then realized that i was not home because i was in kindergarten. rightfully she was freaked the fuck out and didn't move for an hour or two

here's another story from my mom because i think its fun to include: she once heard the sounds of my dad coming home. opening the door, stepping inside, putting his shoes on the shoerrack, walking slightly into the hallway, and then all the sounds stopped. she's confused and checks the kitchen, bedroom and bathroom because those are the only three rooms he could've walked into. he's in neither of them. she's weirded out but brushes it off for a while until he comes home and makes the exact same sounds that she heard earlier that day. how interesting!

we used to have teaspoons that had two lines at the end of the spoon. one day it changed to the lines being by the front of the spoon. i asked my mom about this when i was 7 and she said "we've always had those spoons?" looking at me as if i was talking nonsense to her. we also used to have a bunch of colorful spoons! but they're also completely gone now despite us never throwing them away. i know we used to have them because i broke a blue one by biting down on it too hard once. oops.

artistic rendition of the spoons:

could also swear we used to have yellow plates matching our other colored plates [as well as cups and forks, because we bought them in a set. The Spoons Included] but we. do not have any yellow plates. my parents have said we have never had yellow plates

i could swear by my entire life that korea, thailand, china, australia and many other countries are not where they're supposed to be. this is not because of different projections. none of the projections match up to the map i know.

we used to have an orange cat named charlie, he was a stray we took in. he had no interest in going back outside and he was a cuddlebug, enjoying the safety of being inside with people that love and care for him. one day when we came home, he was completely gone as if we never had him. we asked everyone nearby if they'd seen him, but everyone said no. we only have two pictures of him [despite us taking many more of him]. here's one of them!

there were two twins that lived across our house. they were pale, had black long hair, and usually wore white - or matching dresses. sounds like a horror movie description, i know, but they actually looked like that. one day during winter after snow had fallen we found out that, when we werent home, they stood in front of our backdoor [which was honestly better described as a big window door] and windows and just stared, because their footprints were there. terrifying!

there was this one time where- apparently an alternate universe or something kinda. overlapped. or swapped? me with an alternate me. my friend rain witnessed this and apparently i called it rainai and wasn't much of an artist from what i can gather, and didn't have the same ocs as i do here. that me was also more shy and definently not the same as i was at the time. this happened in 2019

our cats teleport. i once saw one of our cats, who i will call little shit, inside, eating from the food bowls. sounds and everything from her crunching on it when i got home. i went upstairs to set up my pc and then back downstairs to say hi to her and she was nowhere to be seen. i looked around everywhere and couldn't find her, so i dmed my dad and asked if she was inside and he resopnded that she was outside. i open the door and call for her an lo and behold guess who comes running and meowing. it was not our other cat, mama cat. i can tell their shapes apart so easily

my mom and i saw a witch flying on a broom with their cat once! a shadow silhouette unmistakable for a broom, with a human on the front and cat on the end. we both looked at eachother like "you just saw that right" and just nodded

i saw a big black thing flying by my window twice the size of a raven last yeah. i'm pretty sure that was dragon shaped. four limbs and then wings. i mentioned this once in a friend group server but the chatlogs of that are just completely gone(???)

my mom once showed me an article on how they confirmed alternate universes exist. it was genuine. apparently this exact article does not exist and i am the only person i know [save for my mom] that knows alternate universes were confirmed to exist. nobody else has ever heard anything about this

there was a red pencil sharpener i checked the kitchen counter for 7 times. it was not there. it very much was not there. nobody put it there. when i asked my mom after she walked into the kitche and infront of the counter it was suddenly there after she pointed towards it for me

i will update this with a reblog if i ever remember more because my memory is very selective for some reason

#words on the wind #long post #timeline shitfuckery #unreality #<-- asked to tag but all of this /did/ happen to me

Where It’s Most Dangerous to Be Black in America

Black Americans made up 13.6% of the US population in 2022 and 54.1% of the victims of murder and non-negligent manslaughter, aka homicide. That works out, according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data, to a homicide rate of 29.8 per 100,000 Black Americans and four per 100,000 of everybody else.(1)

A homicide rate of four per 100,000 is still quite high by wealthy-nation standards. The most up-to-date statistics available from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development show a homicide of rate one per 100,000 in Canada as of 2019, 0.8 in Australia (2021), 0.4 in France (2017) and Germany (2020), 0.3 in the UK (2020) and 0.2 in Japan (2020).

But 29.8 per 100,000 is appalling, similar to or higher than the homicide rates of notoriously dangerous Brazil, Colombia and Mexico. It also represents a sharp increase from the early and mid-2010s, when the Black homicide rate in the US hit new (post-1968) lows and so did the gap between it and the rate for everybody else. When the homicide rate goes up, Black Americans suffer disproportionately. When it falls, as it did last year and appears to be doing again this year, it is mostly Black lives that are saved.

As hinted in the chart, racial definitions have changed a bit lately; the US Census Bureau and other government statistics agencies have become more open to classifying Americans as multiracial. The statistics cited in the first paragraph of this column are for those counted as Black or African American only. An additional 1.4% of the US population was Black and one or more other race in 2022, according to the Census Bureau, but the CDC Wonder (for “Wide-ranging Online Data for Epidemiologic Research”) databases from which most of the statistics in this column are drawn don’t provide population estimates or calculate mortality rates for this group. My estimate is that its homicide rate in 2022 was about six per 100,000.

A more detailed breakdown by race, ethnicity and gender reveals that Asian Americans had by far the lowest homicide rate in 2022, 1.6, which didn’t rise during the pandemic, that Hispanic Americans had similar homicide rates to the nation as a whole and that men were more than four times likelier than women to die by homicide in 2022. The biggest standout remained the homicide rate for Black Americans.

Black people are also more likely to be victims of other violent crime, although the differential is smaller than with homicides. In the 2021 National Crime Victimization Survey from the Bureau of Justice Statistics (the 2022 edition will be out soon), the rate of violent crime victimization was 18.5 per 1,000 Black Americans, 16.1 for Whites, 15.9 for Hispanics and 9.9 for Asians, Native Hawaiians and other Pacific Islanders. Understandably, Black Americans are more concerned about crime than others, with 81% telling Pew Research Center pollsters before the 2022 midterm elections that violent crime was a “very important” issue, compared with 65% of Hispanics and 56% of Whites.

These disparities mainly involve communities caught in cycles of violence, not external predators. Of the killers of Black Americans in 2020 whose race was known, 89.4% were Black, according to the FBI. That doesn’t make those deaths any less of a tragedy or public health emergency. Homicide is seventh on the CDC’s list of the 15 leading causes of death among Black Americans, while for other Americans it’s nowhere near the top 15. For Black men ages 15 to 39, the highest-risk group, it’s usually No. 1, although in 2022 the rise in accidental drug overdoses appears to have pushed accidents just past it. For other young men, it’s a distant third behind accidents and suicides.

To be clear, I do not have a solution for this awful problem, or even much of an explanation. But the CDC statistics make clear that sky-high Black homicide rates are not inevitable. They were much lower just a few years ago, for one thing, and they’re far lower in some parts of the US than in others. Here are the overall 2022 homicide rates for the country’s 30 most populous metropolitan areas.

Metropolitan areas are agglomerations of counties by which economic and demographic data are frequently reported, but seldom crime statistics because the patchwork of different law enforcement agencies in each metro area makes it so hard. Even the CDC, which gets its mortality data from state health departments, doesn’t make it easy, which is why I stopped at 30 metro areas.(2)

Sorting the data this way does obscure one key fact about homicide rates: They tend to be much higher in the main city of a metro area than in the surrounding suburbs.

But looking at homicides by metro area allows for more informative comparisons across regions than city crime statistics do, given that cities vary in how much territory they cover and how well they reflect an area’s demographic makeup. Because the CDC suppresses mortality data for privacy reasons whenever there are fewer than 10 deaths to report, large metro areas are good vehicles for looking at racial disparities. Here are the 30 largest metro areas, ranked by the gap between the homicide rates for Black residents and for everybody else.

The biggest gap by far is in metropolitan St. Louis, which also has the highest overall homicide rate. The smallest gaps are in metropolitan San Diego, New York and Boston, which have the lowest homicide rates. Homicide rates are higher for everybody in metro St. Louis than in metro New York, but for Black residents they’re six times higher while for everyone else they’re just less than twice as high.

There do seem to be some regional patterns to this mayhem. The metro areas with the biggest racial gaps are (with the glaring exception of Portland, Oregon) mostly in the Rust Belt, those with the smallest are mostly (with the glaring exceptions of Boston and New York) in the Sun Belt. Look at a map of Black homicide rates by state, and the highest are clustered along the Mississippi River and its major tributaries. Southern states outside of that zone and Western states occupy roughly the same middle ground, while the Northeast and a few middle-of-the-country states with small Black populations are the safest for their Black inhabitants.(3)

Metropolitan areas in the Rust Belt and parts of the South stand out for the isolation of their Black residents, according to a 2021 study of Census data from Brown University’s Diversity and Disparities Project, with the average Black person living in a neighborhood that is 60% or more Black in the Detroit; Jackson, Mississippi; Memphis; Chicago; Cleveland and Milwaukee metro areas in 2020 (in metro St. Louis the percentage was 57.6%). Then again, metro New York and Boston score near the top on another of the project’s measures of residential segregation, which tracks the percentage of a minority group’s members who live in neighborhoods where they are over-concentrated compared with White residents, so segregation clearly doesn’t explain everything.

Looking at changes over time in homicide rates may explain more. Here’s the long view for Black residents of the three biggest metro areas. Again, racial definitions have changed recently. This time I’ve used the new, narrower definition of Black or African American for 2018 onward, and given estimates in a footnote of how much it biases the rates upward compared with the old definition.

All three metro areas had very high Black homicide rates in the 1970s and 1980s, and all three experienced big declines in the 1990s and 2000s. But metro Chicago’s stayed relatively high in the early 2010s then began a rebound in mid-decade that as of 2021 had brought the homicide rate for its Black residents to a record high, even factoring in the boost to the rate from the definitional change.

What happened in Chicago? One answer may lie in the growing body of research documenting what some have called the “Ferguson effect,” in which incidents of police violence that go viral and beget widespread protests are followed by local increases in violent crime, most likely because police pull back on enforcement. Ferguson is the St. Louis suburb where a 2014 killing by police that local prosecutors and the US Justice Department later deemed to have been in self-defense led to widespread protests that were followed by big increases in St. Louis-area homicide rates. Baltimore had a similar viral death in police custody and homicide-rate increase in 2015. In Chicago, it was the October 2014 shooting death of a teenager, and more specifically the release a year later of a video that contradicted police accounts of the incident, leading eventually to the conviction of a police officer for second-degree murder.

It’s not that police killings themselves are a leading cause of death among Black Americans. The Mapping Police Violence database lists 285 killings of Black victims by police in 2022, and the CDC reports 209 Black victims of “legal intervention,” compared with 13,435 Black homicide victims. And while Black Americans are killed by police at a higher rate relative to population than White Americans, this disparity — 2.9 to 1 since 2013, according to Mapping Police Violence — is much less than the 7.5-to-1 ratio for homicides overall in 2022. It’s the loss of trust between law enforcement agencies and the communities they serve that seems to be disproportionately deadly for Black residents of those communities.

The May 2020 murder of George Floyd by a Minneapolis police officer was the most viral such incident yet, leading to protests nationwide and even abroad, as well as an abortive local attempt to disband and replace the police department. The Minneapolis area subsequently experienced large increases in homicides and especially homicides of Black residents. But nine other large metro areas experienced even bigger increases in the Black homicide rate from 2019 to 2022.

A lot of other things happened between 2019 and 2022 besides the Floyd protests, of course, and I certainly wouldn’t ascribe all or most of the pandemic homicide-rate increase to the Ferguson effect. It is interesting, though, that the St. Louis area experienced one of the smallest percentage increases in the Black homicide rate during this period, and it decreased in metro Baltimore.

Also interesting is that the metro areas experiencing the biggest percentage increases in Black residents’ homicide rates were all in the West (if your definition of West is expansive enough to include San Antonio). If this were confined to affluent areas such as Portland, Seattle, San Diego and San Francisco, I could probably spin a plausible-sounding story about it being linked to especially stringent pandemic policies and high work-from-home rates, but that doesn’t fit Phoenix, San Antonio or Las Vegas, so I think I should just admit that I’m stumped.

The standout in a bad way has been the Portland area, which had some of the longest-running and most contentious protests over policing, along with many other sources of dysfunction. The area’s homicide rate for Black residents has more than tripled since 2019 and is now second highest among the 30 biggest metro areas after St. Louis. Again, I don’t have any real solutions to offer here, but whatever the Portland area has been doing since 2019 isn’t working.

(1) The CDC data for 2022 are provisional, with a few revisions still being made in the causes assigned to deaths (was it a homicide or an accident, for example), but I’ve been watching for weeks now, and the changes have been minimal. The CDC is still using 2021 population numbers to calculate 2022 mortality rates, and when it updates those, the homicide rates will change again, but again only slightly. The metropolitan-area numbers also don’t reflect a recent update by the White House Office of Management and Budget to its list of metro areas and the counties that belong to them, which when incorporated will bring yet more small mortality-rate changes. To get these statistics from the CDC mortality databases, I clicked on “Injury Intent and Mechanism” and then on “Homicide”; in some past columns I instead chose “ICD-10 Codes” and then “Assault,” which delivered slightly different numbers.

(2) It’s easy to download mortality statistics by metro area for the years 1999 to 2016, but the databases covering earlier and later years do not offer this option, and one instead has to select all the counties in a metro area to get area-wide statistics, which takes a while.

(3) The map covers the years 2018-2022 to maximize the number of states for which CDC Wonder will cough up data, although as you can see it wouldn’t divulge any numbers for Idaho, Maine, Vermont and Wyoming (meaning there were fewer than 10 homicides of Black residents in each state over that period) and given the small numbers involved, I wouldn’t put a whole lot of stock in the rates for the Dakotas, Hawaii, Maine and Montana.

sooooo with the demise split are you saying botw/totk are in their own continuity?

No. Skyward Sword and a lot of what happens because of it—like the forging of the Master Sword—still occur. I don't consider it to be its own continuity/canon, just like how the post-OoT timeline splits aren't considered their own separate canons. They're all part of the greater Zelda universe and information that is detailed across these games can then be applied to others. BotW/TotK are still part of the larger Zelda canon and continuity that takes place long after the past games in that theory, just like how they are in the Convergence theory.

While we're here, I want to say that there have been a lot of news outlets online falsely claiming that "Nintendo confirmed that BotW/TotK are standalone" based on the below timeline seen at Nintendo Live in Australia.

This is exactly how they have been presenting the timeline since ~2017 (with the addition of TotK). Nintendo and the Zelda Team has been very open with the fact that they're intentionally being ambiguous with the Wild Era games because they like seeing fans speculate and theorize. They have made it very clear that these games are connected to the others and do have their place on the Greater Zelda Timeline. This isn't anything new and it IS NOT saying that the Wild Era games are standalone entries.

I actually have been thinking up a third potential timeline placement for the Wild Era games that isn't the SS Demise split theory or the Convergence theory BUT I want to hold off on that until Echoes of Wisdom comes out and we see what actually is going on in that game cause it does kind of hinge on how that game ends. There isn't any point in sharing it if it'll be completely disproven within a month, you know? We don't know much about Echoes of Wisdom and so I don't want to put any information out there that ends up being wrong while making it sound like a fact.

Toni Hamel

Born (1961) in Italy. Lives and works in Kingston, Ontario, Canada.

Toni Hamel describes her work as “an illustrated commentary on human frailties“. Rooted in story-telling, her art practice draws from personal experiences and outward observations to create thematic bodies of work that reflect on and interpret the psychological unease of this anthropocentric age. Virtues and vices, the holy and the profane, the good and the bad all share equal weight in her work and supply an infinite source of material for her investigations. Pointing to historical references, popular culture and our current conceptual standing, Hamel’s satirical narratives ultimately seem to question our behaviour while alerting us about the repercussions of our current thinking models.

Hamel is the recipient of three Ontario Arts Council grants (2011, 2012, 2014). Her work has been exhibited in public and commercial galleries in Canada and abroad, and is included in the art collections of J. J. Abrams, Whoopi Goldberg, the Government of Ontario, the Omer DeSerres Corporation, the Robert McLaughlin Gallery and many other private collections around the world.

Hamel’s work is regularly featured in Arts & Culture publications including Colossal (March 7, 2023 – September 16, 2020), My Modern Met (April 24, 2022), CBC-Arts (Canada, short-doc; Season 3/Episode 20, 2018), Hi-Fructose (September 16, 2017 / August 8, 2015), Lowdown (Germany, Issue #98, 2018; print and online); Courrier International (France, October 2017; print), Colossal and BOOOOOOOM (digital), Frankie (Australia, October 2018; print), The Affair (Taiwan, July 2018; print), Efflorescence Culturelle (France, September 2016), Mud Season Review (USA, Issue #28; print – online see art and interview) and many other print and digital outlets.

Hamel holds a BFA from the Accademia di Belle Arti of Lecce (Italy, 1983), a post-graduate Certificate in Computer Graphics from Sheridan College (Canada, 1991), the Golden Key National Honour Society Award from the University of Toronto (Specialist Programme in Psychology, 1997). She is the recipient of the Lubiam Prize (Milan, 1983) and many other awards.

New works for a solo exhibition titled “In lieu of better days” at CK Contemporary in San Francisco, CA USA. Opening July 6, 2024

Daniel Craig's Queer sex scenes leak before we even get a trailer

New Post has been published on https://qnews.com.au/daniel-craigs-queer-sex-scenes-leak-before-we-even-get-a-trailer/

Daniel Craig's Queer sex scenes leak before we even get a trailer

The explicit gay sex scenes from Daniel Craig’s Queer have leaked online, before the highly-anticipated new movie’s trailer has even dropped.

Queer is the upcoming film from Challengers and Call Me By Your Name director Luca Guadanino, based on the 1985 novel by William S Burroughs.

It stars Daniel Craig and Drew Starkey as two men who meet in Mexico City, and out heartthrob Omar Apollo makes his acting debut in a supporting role.

Queer doesn’t have a release date yet but the flick is doing the rounds on the festival circuit. The film received an 11-minute, 44-second ovation after its premiere at the Venice Film Festival.

The hype is insane, and Queer‘s stars have been teasing the film’s gay sex scenes for months.

As more people see the film in US and Europe, naughty cinemagoers are whipping out their phones and spread the explicit scenes on Twitter X.

We’re not going to post the clips here because we don’t want to go to jail. But people are reacting hilariously to seeing a lot of Daniel Craig and Omar Apollo on their timelines.

Daniel Craig and Drew Starkey on Queer’s sex scenes

Speaking to Variety last month, actor Drew Starkey said shooting Queer, he and Daniel Craig were “game for anything.”

“We just were like, “Let’s go for it, let’s have fun,” he began.

“He was a great partner to have in that. I think him and I share that same mentality of just not giving a shit.

“[Luca] was so specific — he wanted us to be as comfortable as possible throughout that process, and we would block off where these intimate scenes would happen. We talked months in advance about what we thought it should be.

“It was also like a dance. We were trying to figure it out. But those were some of the most fun days I think we all had on set — just Daniel and I laughing.”

Daniel Craig said at the Venice Film Festival, “We just wanted to make it as touching and as real and as natural as we possibly could.

“Drew’s a wonderful, fantastic, beautiful actor to work with, and we just, we kind of had a laugh. We tried to make it fun.”

Queer is set in Mexico City in the 1940s

Over in the US, prestige distributor A24 is putting out Queer, and Mubi is distributing the film in numerous countries across Europe. No mention of an Australia release just yet, as per usual.

In Queer, William Lee – a stand-in for author William S Burroughs himself – is wandering Mexico City in the 1940s, fighting drug addiction.

There, he becomes madly infatuated with Allerton, who is battling demons of his own. Allerton toys with Lee, making the gay man even more obsessed with him. The two men later go travelling together.

Director Luca Guadagnino is known for his 2017 gay romance Call Me by Your Name as well as 2024’s very horny tennis drama Challengers.

Personal Statement

I started my career as a monitoring and evaluation associate at NICE Indonesia in 2019. We provide a 5-year grant to 12 CSOs in Indonesia to develop their organizations. During those 5 years, we evaluate their performance annually based on the training and financial interventions provided. Some of the organizations I directly supervised include Yayasan Gerak Bareng, Yayasan Munashoroh Indonesia, and Yayasan Gema Insani.

In addition to the annual reviews I conducted, I also took on side jobs to measure the impact of several organizations. My team and I have measured the impact for Schneider Electric Foundation Indonesia, Yayasan Infra Digital Indonesia, Perkumpulan Ibu Pembelajar Bahagia (Lab Belajar Ibu), Komunitas Happiness Family, and wrote impact reports for the SMK Pusat Keunggulan assistance program in 2023 on behalf of the Directorate of Vocational High Schools, Ministry of Education and Culture of the Republic of Indonesia. I attached some files here : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1mbhbs0wAkwZtBzbxgJ-1xzdZhXMX3XdJ/view?usp=sharing

Apart from working in monitoring and evaluation, as a registered nurse in Indonesia, I am also active in several health education initiatives, particularly regarding the impact of the environment on health. My friends and I founded the Emcekaqu Sehat Berdaya Foundation, which campaigns for open defecation-free zones in Pandeglang, Banten. We observed the impact of poor sanitation on children's health, especially given the high stunting rates in the area, and we actively campaign for behavior change to eliminate open defecation. From this work, I had the opportunity to participate in several fellowships related to the environment, such as the Young Water Fellowship in Belgium in 2017, the Young South East Asia Leadership Initiative in Environmental Management in the USA in 2018, and the International One Health Camp in Vietnam in 2019.

Besides my professional life, I experienced a turning point in my personal life when my first daughter died during the delivery process. As a nurse, I know it's not just me but thousands of mothers in Indonesia who have experienced this. Since then, I pledged to contribute to reducing neonatal mortality. I decided to become a breastfeeding counselor, and now I have more than 50 clients, both online and offline.

Pursuing an MPH at the University of Melbourne, I blend my interest in planetary health and maternal and child health. Last semester, I took nutrition policy and politics as my elective because nutrition issues are currently rising in Indonesia, and I wanted a broader perspective beyond health. This semester, I took Planetary Health and Women’s and Global Health as my electives to accommodate my interests. As an Australia Awards Awardee, I know my studies are not just for me but for the greater good of Indonesia.

My grades might not be very good because the first semester of my MPH was the first time I lived abroad with only my family of three. I juggled academic life, being a wife, and being a mother to a 2.5-year-old daughter. Therefore, this semester, I strategized to take courses with shorter durations, so I can better balance my work and life. Thus, being involved in evaluation studies in maternal and child health excites me greatly. Furthermore, 1000 Days Of Fund is one organization I keep an eye on because they address issues holistically, from cadre training to providing growth blankets to parents.

ceritanya bikin personal statement untuk ngelamar jadi research assistant gitu di kampus, hwaa bismillah ya Allah dengan panduan dan pendampinganmu :" laa hawlaa walla quwwata illa billah

diversity on the catwalk

fashion creatives are embracing inclusivity and body positivity, exploring themes such as size, gender, age, race, and disability.

Precious Lee, Ashley Graham, Paloma Elsesser

Wallabies vs All Blacks Rugby Second Bledisloe Cup clash at Forsyth Barr Stadium

The second Bledisloe Cup match between the Wallabies vs All Blacks will take place on August 5 at Forsyth Barr Stadium between Australia and New Zealand.

Will our team’s players smash their way to victory in the second Bledisloe match at the Glasshouse? Be at the center of the action as the All Blacks take on their toughest opponents from across the ditch at Dunedin’s Forsyth Barr Stadium!

Game 2

Sat. Aug 5

12:35 pm

Forsyth Barr Stadium, Dunedin

The All Blacks compete in the Lipovitan-D Rugby Championship Test Match Series and face a formidable 2023 with the Rugby World Cup in France in September and October. However, before that, they must deal with home test matches against a formidable South Africa team and the eagerly anticipated Bledisloe Cup match against Eddie Jones’ Australia.

On August 5, the All Blacks will play a rare afternoon home Test match at Forsyth Barr Stadium (2.35 PM start time), bringing the Bledisloe Cup back to Dunedin for the first time since 2017. All Blacks Hospitality anticipates that the Bledisloe Cup test match will be in high demand because there will only be one test match played on the South Island in 2023. To avoid disappointment, we advise you to confirm your hospitality requirements as early as feasible.

2023 Second Bledisloe Cup All Blacks will play home Test match at Forsyth Barr Stadium

In the All Blacks final home Test of the year against Australia on Saturday afternoon in Dunedin, assistant coach Jason Ryan says there is still more to work for. The breakdown will be one area of focus following the 38-7 Lipovitan-D Rugby Championship and Bledisloe Cup victory in Melbourne on Saturday.

Ryan claimed that the match had been intensely physical, as one could anticipate from a Bledisloe Cup match.

The Australians had displayed some excellent play at the breakdown.

“They put pressure on us there, and we occasionally lost our rhythm. I believe that our carry contributed to the breakdown in some way, so we’ll seek to adjust a few things there with our height. However, as we regained some momentum and began to play quickly, we felt fairly confident.

F1 legend Sebastian Vettel invests in new German SailGP team

F1 legend Sebastian Vettel invests in new German SailGP team ahead of globe-trotting event's fourth season with quadruple world champion planning to take a hands-on role Vettel, 35, retired from Formula One racing at the end of the 2022 season He has invested in a new Germany SailGP boat skippered by Erik Heil By Adam Shergold for MailOnline Published: 12:58 EDT, 31 May 2023 | Updated: 12:58 EDT, 31 May 2023 Formula One legend Sebastian Vettel has invested in the new Germany SailGP team in his first sporting move following retirement from racing. The four-time world champion, 35, has partnered with double Olympic sailing bronze medallist Erik Heil and team owner Thomas Riedel in the sport often described as 'F1 on water.' Vettel and Riedel will both put money in to the German team, with Heil, who was on the podium at both the 2016 Rio and 2020 Tokyo Olympics, set to drive the 100km/h F50 hydrofoiling catamaran. The German boat takes the SailGP field to 10 ahead of the opening event of its fourth season in Chicago on June 16. Vettel said: 'I see a lot of potential as SailGP starts its fourth season and for the first time with a German team. Parallels between sailors and Formula One have long existed. Formula One legend Sebastian Vettel (left) and with skipper Erik Heil at the launch of the new SailGP team he has invested in SailGP CEO Sir Russell Coutts (left) hands over the wheel of the German boat to (second left to right) Erik Heil (Driver), Sebastian Vettel (Co-owner) and Thomas Riedel (Team owner) Germany will be the latest addition to the SailGP fleet ahead of the event's fourth season 'The boats are fascinating and the speeds on the water are incredibly high. The races are exciting and I am happy to be close to them with a motivated group of young sailors. 'In addition, the series not only uses wind power, but also strives to set new standards in sustainability in sports.' Vettel won four consecutive Formula One drivers' championships with Red Bull between 2010 and 2013, before pushing Lewis Hamilton close with Ferrari in 2017 and 2018. He spent the final two seasons of his F1 career with Aston Martin before announcing his retirement in July 2022. Vettel plans to take a hands-on role in the management of the German SailGP team, which was officially welcomed to the event by CEO Sir Russell Coutts at an event in Dusseldorf on Wednesday. The strongest challengers in the 2023-24 season will be three-time SailGP champions Australia skippered by Tom Slingsby, the New Zealand boat led by Pete Burling and Sir Ben Ainslie's British team. Vettel won four consecutive Formula One world titles with Red Bull between 2010 and 2013 Vettel, 35, waved goodbye to Formula One with Aston Martin at the end of the 2022 season The sustainability aspect of SailGP would have been a big draw for Vettel with all the teams competing in an Impact League which ranks them on being the most environmentally conscious. Vettel regularly wore custom t-shirts and helmets to promote environmental causes during his F1 days. He caught up with Lewis Hamilton at last weekend's Monaco Grand Prix with the Mercedes driver posting an Instagram picture of them sharing a hug.

Doctor Who 10 for 10 Part 6/10: Series 6

We’re halfway through this series now, something I never thought I’d see this time last year. Series 6 of Doctor Who saw the series reaching new heights as it became more popular around the world, however it also saw the start of a misstep that led to the series not being broadcast at the same time each year, snowballing to the point where by the end of Chibnall era, we didn’t really know what was going on or have a clear timeframe when the next series would begin.

The misstep I’m talking about is the decision to split the series in two, with the first seven episodes premiering in April 2011 and the last six episodes premiering in August 2011. Admittedly, the wait wasn’t that egregious given both halves were only broadcast two months apart (but what would I know, I’d only just started following the series), but the split in Series 7 would be even more egregious. Anyway, let’s just jump into the retrospective for Series 6.

1. The international appeal

Series 6 saw a renaissance of popularity for Doctor Who in the US with episodes being broadcast on BBC America on the same day as the UK, something that the ABC in Australia wouldn’t see until Series 7 (albeit online at first). BBC America didn’t begin having the rights to the revived series until 2006 alongside a number of PBS stations, which broadcast the series at different times. It was only in 2010 that BBC America finally began to do a fast-tracked broadcast with the Christmas Special, A Christmas Carol.

In an effort to make the series accessible to newer audiences, broadcasts of Series 6 in the US would have a short narration from Karen Gillan as Amy before the opening titles, featuring a montage of footage from Series 5 episodes. This narration would appear in Australian broadcasts as well, among other countries. Although diehard fans didn’t like it because it was stating the obvious, Moffat made it clear that he was asked to write the narration for international broadcast, stating that even RTD loved it as well. I didn’t really mind the narration myself, plus I can see how that combined with the opening titles makes the series seem more like a US show.

A main complaint of the BBC America broadcasts (and also the Canadian broadcasts on CBC and Space, now the CTV Sci-Fi Channel) was the commercial breaks due to them not being public television channels (et tu, CBC), which was why American (and Canadian) fans rejoiced when the RTD2 era was announced to be exclusive to Disney+, not knowing that Australians would no longer be able to watch the same era for free. Is this a small price for Australians to pay for the convenience of the rest of the world? I would say no because there’s no reason why the series should become streaming-exclusive everywhere else when BBC One would still be airing it in the UK.

2. Doctor Who Experience

Doctor Who has had exhibitions in the UK over the years, but 2011 saw the opening of the Doctor Who Experience, the only dedicated semi-permanent exhibition (to date) which has been publicised by the BBC. The Doctor Who Experience initially opened at London Olympia in February 2012 before it closed a year later. It was then moved to Porth Teigr in Cardiff in July 2012 for a 5-year lease before it closed in September 2017.

The Doctor Who Experience had an interactive adventure portion before two floors of exhibitions. Matt Smith contributed to the narrations as the Eleventh Doctor before Peter Capaldi took over the narrations as the Twelfth Doctor from 2014. The exhibitions contained a large number of props that the BBC had in storage, with new props being made available as each series finished broadcast.

It’s such a shame that something like this wasn’t done in the Chibnall era, not that it would have helped it significantly. In Year 10 of high school, I remember talking with a couple of my friends about a potential Schoolies trip where one of the stops would be the Doctor Who Experience in Cardiff, but we didn’t have the money nor the willpower to make it happen, plus one of my friends moved schools and we grew distant, to say the least.

3. Death of the Doctor

In October 2010, the Doctor appeared in the SJA episode Death of the Doctor, reuniting with Jo Jones and Sarah Jane Smith, but that’s not what this is about. Elizabeth Sladen died a few days before Series 6 premiered, hence the series premiere was dedicated to her.

While Amy and Rory are watching the Doctor waving at them throughout history, they receive a TARDIS blue envelope with an invitation inside containing a date, time and coordinates. River also receives the same envelope from her cell in Stormcage. The three of them meet the Doctor in Utah on 22 April 2011 and they take him to Lake Silencio, where they have a picnic before the Doctor intended to take them on a trip to space 1969. When an astronaut emerged from the water at 5:02 PM, the Doctor went to it and it killed him by shooting him, then shooting him again before he was able to regenerate. An old man named Canton Everett Delaware III provided Amy, Rory and River with some petrol to burn the Doctor’s body before telling them that they would see him again. River noticed that Canton had a TARDIS blue envelope numbered 4 and wondered who had the envelope numbered 1.

At a diner, Amy, Rory and River discovered that that person was in fact a younger version of the Doctor, who was inexplicably alive, and told him that they were recruited for a mission in space 1969. The Doctor was initially reluctant to go to 1969, but Amy managed to convince him to go. Sneaking into the Oval Office, the Doctor was eventually caught by the younger Canton and President Nixon, who were listening to a recording of a call that a little girl made to the latter. Canton joins the Doctor, Amy, Rory and River as they head to Florida to find the little girl. During this, they encounter creatures that they forget once they look away from them.

Following an accident in a warehouse involving the little girl in an astronaut suit, the Doctor and the others investigated the Silence for the next three months, even staging a nationwide search of Amy, Rory and River by Canton and the FBI while the Doctor was being held prisoner in Area 51. Once they were all sealed in a cell of dwarf star alloy, the Doctor, Amy, Rory and Canton escape in the TARDIS, find River and summarise their findings. The Silence had been on Earth since the beginning of humanity, manipulating its development down to the Moon landing because they needed a spacesuit.

When Amy was kidnapped by the Silence while trying to track down the little girl, Canton managed to take a video of a Silent telling him that they should kill his kind on sight. The Doctor had him splice that footage to Apollo 11 just as Neil Armstrong was taking his first steps on the Moon, ordering the execution of the Silence for generations to come. The Silence were defeated and the Doctor and the others left.

The Impossible Astronaut and Day of the Moon is the first two-parter to open a series. It continues the “Silence will fall” story arc of the last series and ups the stakes by putting the Doctor in a situation that his past self needs to get around. The story was filmed in Utah in a co-production with BBC America to capitalise on the growing popularity of the series’ revival in the US.

4. Prequelmania

Series 6 began a Moffat era tradition of “prequels”, which are short clips made for certain episodes that should really be considered prologues to them. They were released online on the BBC Doctor Who website (with some on YouTube) and later released on streaming services and home media. Other shorts not related to those episodes were also released and are known as mini-episodes, or minisodes. This is another tradition of the Moffat era that was sadly reduced or cut during the Chibnall era.

The shorts provide good bonus content for the series, so I’m not complaining. The only thing I would have preferred is if the preludes/minisodes relating to The Doctor, the Widow and the Wardrobe, The Magician’s Apprentice and The Pilot were actually integrated into their respective episodes.

5. The mystery of River Song revealed

As part of the decision to split Series 6 into two, there would be a mid-series finale and premiere. Apparently this was on the request of Steven Moffat to allow for this series’ story arcs, though there is speculation as to whether this was done to avoid ratings slumps both midway into the series and coming into the summer months. Mind you, based on what the ratings would show, it didn’t really work and ratings slumps would continue to show whether the production team liked it or not. According to Steven Moffat, he considered this split as “two separate series” and considering what we would see the next year in Series 7, I agree with his observation.

The Doctor first suspected something was wrong with Amy after she told him that she was pregnant then later denied it. He secretly ran a scan on Amy and became disturbed to find that she was both pregnant and not pregnant. Later, after an encounter with Flesh Gangers that was not entirely unplanned, the Doctor managed to cut off their signal to Amy, who had been held in Demon’s Run all this time, overseen by Madame Kovarian, and was about to give birth upon awakening.

Over the next month, the Doctor assembled an army to rescue Amy and scare whoever kidnapped her. His army included a Silurian, Madame Vastra; her human maid, Jenny Flint; a Sontaran, Strax; Henry Avery and the crew of the Fancy from The Curse of the Black Spot; “Danny Boy” and two more Spitfires from Victory of the Daleks; Dorium Maldovar and armies of Silurians and Judoon. Rory attempted to recruit River, but she told him that she couldn’t be there until the very end. Production-wise, Moffat wanted to include Jack Harkness as well and have him be beheaded by the Headless Monks so that he would become the Face of Boe, but John Barrowman was filming Torchwood: Miracle Day so he was not available, and thus the theory remains unconfirmed.

As Colonel Manton speaks to the Church Clerics and Headless Monks about the Doctor, the Doctor reveals himself disguised as one of the Monks as his army appear on Demon’s Run. In the course of 3 minutes and 42 seconds, the Doctor and his army managed to subdue the soldiers and capture both Colonel Manton and Madame Kovarian. After the Doctor told Manton to order his troops to run away, thereby claiming Demon’s Run without a drop of blood spilled, the Doctor learns from Vastra and Dorium hacking into Kovarian’s files that Amy and Rory’s child, Melody Pond, is actually part-Time Lord, eventually leading him to realise that she was the little girl he was looking for back in 1969 America. Kovarian reveals that she managed to fool the Doctor twice as Melody is also revealed to have been a Flesh Ganger, the real one having been with Kovarian for some time. River then arrives on Demon’s Run and revealed to the Doctor, Amy and Rory that she was, in fact, Melody, which led the Doctor to set out in search for her.

After waiting through summer, Amy and Rory caught the attention of the Doctor in the hope that he would have news about Melody, but the Doctor was unsuccessful in finding her. Their friend Mels appeared, having followed Amy and Rory, and demanded a ride in the TARDIS, suggesting that they head to World War II to kill Adolf Hitler. Following an incident in which Mels shoots the time rotor of the TARDIS, the TARDIS crashes into Hitler’s office in 1938 Berlin, knocking over a humanoid ship named the Teselecta. The occupants leave the smoking TARDIS before they realise who they just saved. The Teselecta gets up and Hitler shoots at it, but Mels gets hit by a bullet in the confusion, resulting in her regenerating into her River Song incarnation; the last time she regenerated was in New York in 1970.

Following her regeneration, River, who thought that name was stupid at the time, tries to kill the Doctor, only to have her attempts foiled by him. She eventually succeeds in doing so when she briefly pecks the Doctor on the lips, causing him to be poisoned. In the ensuing 32 minutes (or so) before the Doctor dies, River goes to the Hotel Adlon and robs the diners of their clothes while Amy and Rory are captured by the Teselecta. The Teselecta attempts to execute justice on River when the Doctor shows up. Through the Teselecta, the Doctor learns that the group who wants him dead is the Silence, who believe that silence will fall when the question is asked. As the Doctor continues to die, the Teselecta executes justice on River again, but Amy manages to turn the ship’s antibodies against its crew, forcing them to evacuate. River manages to use the TARDIS to rescue Amy and Rory before they are taken back to the Doctor. After whispering something into River’s ear, the Doctor dies. River asks who River Song is and Amy has the Teselecta show her form, which leads River to use up all her regenerations to resurrect the Doctor (but it doesn’t give them to him, which is something more relevant for the next series). River is left in a hospital with a blank diary to document her encounters with the Doctor before she is seen enrolling into Luna University in 5123, studying a degree in archaeology.

A Good Man Goes To War and Let’s Kill Hitler fully reveals the mystery behind River Song and adds some more context for the Doctor’s impending death as a fixed point in time. Admittedly, this is something that the Timeless Child revelation years later ruins because it misses the point of the Time Lords already being above humanity.

6. Bottle episodes and moved episodes

It’s no surprise that each series of Doctor Who is filmed out-of-order to accommodate schedules and locations and things, but there were times when the showrunner had to swap episodes for various reasons. During Series 4, RTD swapped the airing order for The Fires of Pompeii and Planet of the Ood because the latter was a darker episode, then swapped Midnight from episode 8 to episode 10 after Silence in the Library and Forest of the Dead because Turn Left came after and Phil Collinson didn’t want two Donna Noble parallel world stories airing next to each other. As such, this meant that Silence in the Library would become the 50th episode of the revived series instead of Midnight, though Midnight was still the 50th episode to be filmed.

In Series 6, Night Terrors was originally filmed as the fourth episode before Moffat moved it to Part 2 due to it being “too dark”. It was swapped with The Curse of the Black Spot, which was then swapped with The Doctor’s Wife (a holdover from Series 5) to be the third and fourth episodes respectively. Production codes for future episodes would no longer be released after this series so we wouldn’t know what episodes ended up being swapped for editing.

Following Night Terrors, there were a number of bottle episodes made to fill up the time before the series finale. Interestingly, both episodes are companion-focused pieces revolving around the plot point of Amy waiting for the Doctor to come back when she was seven years old.

The Girl Who Waited has Amy trapped in the Two Streams Facility when she enters the wrong time stream and Rory has to go in to find her without the Doctor because he would be infected with Chen-7 and die in a day. Rory manages to find Amy, but it has been 36 years for her, leading her to develop a resentment for the Doctor. The Doctor attempts to put things right by saving Amy’s past self when she just came into the facility, but Amy refuses because it would mean that she would cease to exist. Eventually, the older Amy relents and allows the Doctor to save her past self, but when Rory and the younger Amy get to the TARDIS, the Doctor locks the older Amy out, telling Rory that there can never be two Amys because the paradox would be too massive. The older Amy eventually told Rory not to let her in, sacrificing herself so her younger self can live the days she never did.

The God Complex is set in a hotel where its victims are shown rooms of their fears, which led them to “praise him” and be eaten by an alien Minotaur. After initially noting that the Minotaur fed on people’s fears, the Doctor realised that it was actually feeding on faith because by having people confront their most primal fear, they fall back to their most fundamental faith, and by telling them to find the thing that keeps them brave, the Doctor effectively led them to their deaths. When Amy suddenly begins to “praise him”, the Doctor and others hide in a room which turns out to be that of Amy’s fear that the Doctor wouldn’t come back for her when she was seven. Feeling guilty about this potentially leading to Amy dying, the Doctor tells her to forget her faith in him, deciding that they should see each other as they really are. By severing the Minotaur’s food supply, the hotel disintegrates and the Minotaur dies. Following this, the Doctor drops off Amy and Rory at their new home (not in Leadworth for some reason, and the timing of this in continuity is something I will follow up in the next instalment), deciding that this would be better for them instead of him standing over their graves.

7. The parallel Cyber-integration

During the RTD era, each series finale featured a villain that had escaped or survived the Time War. A similar but different tradition began in the Moffat era, where the twelfth episode of each series featured at least one Cyberman. This was reflected in Series 5’s The Pandorica Opens and it is reflected in Series 6’s Closing Time. The Cybermen used in these episodes reused the Cybusmen from the RTD era because they apparently lacked the budget to redesign them in Series 5 (according to Steven Moffat). By the filming of Closing Time, many of the Cybermen costumes were dilapidated, but fortunately it suited the script, allowing them to make one final appearance before being retired in favour of a redesign in the next series.

Closing Time is a double-banked companion-lite episode from Gareth Roberts that once again features Craig Owens in a continuation of The Lodger. Since the events of that episode, Craig and his partner, Sophie, moved house and had a baby, Alfie (who preferred to be called Stormageddon, Dark Lord of All). Meanwhile, after having dropped Amy and Rory off at their new home, the Doctor went on a 200-year farewell tour to avoid his fixed death at Lake Silencio. Near the end, the Doctor made a social call to Craig before deciding to visit the Alignment of Exodor, but he becomes too curious at the electrical fluctuations happening around Craig’s home.

The Doctor ends up going undercover at a department store to investigate the electrical fluctuations and the disappearances that have coincided with them. In doing so, he discovers the Cybermen have been taking people to their ship through a teleport relay. After the Doctor fused the teleport, he discovers a Cybermat, making their return from the classic era. He and Craig stay about after the store closed and follow the Cybermat in order to capture it. They hear the security guard being attacked and the Doctor heads down to the basement, but a Cyberman knocks him out. Heading back to Craig’s house, the Cybermat comes back to life and tries to attack the Doctor, but he knocks it out and escapes just as Craig returns from picking up milk. The Cybermat attacks Craig just as the Doctor is locked out without his sonic screwdriver, forcing him to smash through the window to save him, wiping the Cybermat’s brain.

The next morning, the Doctor takes the now-reprogrammed Cybermat back to the store to find out why the Cyberman appeared in the ship when he fused the teleport. Craig discovers this and heads there with Alfie, leaving him with another employee while he follows the Doctor. The Doctor discovers that the Cybermat came in through a door disguised as a wall behind a mirror. He heads in and discovers a crashed Cybership, which had been there for centuries until the council began laying cables. The Cybermen attempt to convert the Doctor into their CyberController, but he was not compatible; Craig, who had followed him, was, however, and the Cybermen took him and proceeded to convert him. As the Cybermen attempt to begin full conversion, Craig manages to hear the sound of Alfie crying, which allows him to break out as the Cybermen begin malfunctioning, destroying themselves and their ship with it as Craig and the Doctor teleport back up.

After this, the Doctor gave up his chance to see the Alignment of Exodor to repair the damage to Craig’s house. Taking some TARDIS blue envelopes from the fridge, the Doctor says goodbye to Craig, who gives him a Stetson as a parting gift. Just outside the TARDIS, he encounters three random kids and he tells them that he was here to help before leaving.

Closing Time is an amusing episode, but I think the real highlight was the random skits that Matt Smith and James Corden made late at night (or early in the morning) during the filming of the episode, which was aired on the Confidential for the episode. It was decided that the Daleks would be rested for this series, however a Paradigm Supreme Dalek appeared in the series finale for a cameo on the whim of Steven Moffat; it would be the last time that a Paradigm Dalek would be used prominently. And Terry Nation’s estate was sated once again and the Daleks would continue to appear for years to come, then the 2016 break happened and suddenly, I found myself changing my last sentence to say series to come.

8. The farewell tour ends

And so we come to the series finale. Following the events of Closing Time, Madame Kovarian finds River Song at Luna University, now a Doctor, and takes her to be placed in an astronaut suit under Lake Silencio. Meanwhile, the Doctor continues searching around to find out why the Silence want him to die. After defeating a Dalek to extract data from its core, the Doctor finds Father Gideon Vandaleur, who turns out to be a disguise for the Teselecta. Through Captain Carter, the Doctor is led to Gantok, who he manages to beat in live chess before he offers to take him to the beheaded Dorium in exchange for him conceding the game.

Dorium tells the Doctor why the Silence want him dead - “on the fields of Trenzalore, at the fall of the Eleventh, when no living creature can speak falsely, or fail to answer, a question will be asked - a question that must never, ever be answered.” The Silence believe that silence must fall and that the Doctor must never reach Trenzalore. Dorium tells the Doctor what the question is, but we don’t hear it. In response, the Doctor takes Dorium to the TARDIS and attempts to run away, but when he attempts to call Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart, he learns from his nursing home that he died, an allusion to his actor, Nicholas Courtney’s death in February 2011, two months before Series 6 premiered. The Doctor loses all hope and ends his farewell tour to go to his death, giving the TARDIS blue envelopes to the Teselecta to be sent to Amy, Rory, River and Canton in preparation for the events of The Impossible Astronaut.

The Doctor sits with his companions at Lake Silencio before he goes out to confront the past River in the astronaut suit. The Doctor reassures River that she is forgiven before he allows her to shoot him, but he doesn’t end up getting shot because River purposefully drained her weapon systems. By doing so, she rewrote a fixed point in time, causing time to begin collapsing as everything happened, stuck at 5:02 PM on 22 April 2011.

After spending some time locked in the Tower of London by Winston Churchill, the Doctor is taken by Amy to Cairo, with Rory under her command and River waiting for them with the captured Madame Kovarian. Presumably due to the crack in her bedroom wall, Amy was able to remember what happened in both timelines and River remembered as well due to being the opposite pole of the disruption. When the captured Silents begin breaking out of their confinement, the Doctor, Amy, Rory and River head up to the receptor room, where River had built a timey-wimey distress beacon to send out a distress call to all of time, much to the Doctor’s chagrin as he insists that nothing she does will work. As such, the Doctor decides to have a quick handfasting ceremony with River, marrying her while also apparently revealing his name to her. As the Doctor and River kiss, time begins to move again and the Doctor is killed at Lake Silencio.

Some time later, River, having just climbed out of the Byzantium from The Time of Angels and Flesh and Stone, visits Amy, who was feeling guilty about killing Madame Kovarian, though River insists that it didn’t happen as it was an alternate timeline. It is then that River decides to reveal the Doctor’s final secret and the revelation that he isn’t dead elates Amy until she realises that she is his mother-in-law.

As Dorium’s head is returned to its pedestal, he learns that the Doctor didn’t die, having been the one to return Dorium’s head. When the Doctor gave the TARDIS blue envelopes to the Teselecta, Captain Carter asked if there was anything they could do, which gave him the idea to fake his death by having the Teselecta copy him while he hid within it. During the handfasting ceremony, the Doctor had River look into his eye, revealing himself within the Teselecta, which she had actually shot instead of the Doctor. Despite this, Dorium warns the Doctor that the First Question is still waiting for him, hidden in plain sight - “Doctor who? Doctor who? Doctor who?”

The Wedding of River Song is a one-parter finale instead of a two-parter finale like in previous series, wrapping up the story arcs of Series 5 and 6 while opening up another thread to be addressed in the Eleventh Doctor’s finale episodes. I suppose the Doctor surviving his death was predictable, particularly if you paid attention to Let’s Kill Hitler. Some people think this is the weakest finale of the Moffat era but I just thought it was alright. I mean, we all knew the Doctor would have to have survived somehow.

9. A different kind of Christmas

The 2011 Christmas Special, The Doctor, the Widow and the Wardrobe, goes back to having a special guest companion instead of having the current companions, particularly given the Doctor’s parting with Amy and Rory near the end of Series 6. It’s the first Christmas Special to have a special guest companion in the middle of an existing companion’s run.

In the prelude, which should really have been included in the episode, the Doctor has his finger on a button that will blow up a ship if he lets go of it. The Doctor tries to get Amy to fly the TARDIS to him, but he forgets that she already left ages ago, so the Doctor ends up getting in a spaceship and falling to Earth while trying to get into a spacesuit. Upon landing, he is met by Madge Arwell, who helps the Doctor get to the TARDIS.

Three years later, Madge’s husband, Reg, goes missing at sea as a pilot in World War II. Due to the bombing, Madge and her children, Cyril and Lily, are sent to their uncle’s country estate. Acting on Madge’s wish, the Doctor goes to the estate and acts as their caretaker to make sure Cyril and Lily have the best Christmas ever. When Cyril opens the Doctor’s present before Christmas, he wanders through a portal into a planet with natural Christmas tree forests known as Androzani trees. As the forest was being melted down for fuel using acid rain, the lifeforce of the trees decided to find a female host who would have them escape the forest.

Cyril entered the forest’s tower, followed by the Doctor and Lily and finally, Madge, who had followed each other through the portal. Madge was found to be strong and the entire forest’s lifeforce entered her as she began to fly the tower’s dome into the Time Vortex. After learning that the dome’s travel depends on thought, the Doctor tells Madge to think of home and she does. She thinks of Reg and gradually finds herself being shown his apparent death at sea. Upon landing at the estate, Madge is about to tell Cyril and Lily of Reg’s death when the Doctor discovers that Reg’s plane had landed outside; he saw the light of the dome and followed it through the Time Vortex to safety.

As Madge and her family celebrate Christmas, the Doctor prepares to leave when Madge sees the TARDIS and realises that he was the spaceman she helped three years earlier. When the Doctor tells Madge that his friends think that he is dead, Madge replies that he can’t let them think as such, especially at Christmas, and tells the Doctor to explain to them. After saying goodbye to Madge, the Doctor visits Amy and Rory at their new home, two years after he dropped them off, and joins them for Christmas dinner.

The Doctor, the Widow and the Wardrobe is a beautiful episode and upon rewatching the ending, it reminded me of the Ninth Doctor’s “everybody lives!” speech from Series 1’s The Doctor Dances (also written by Steven Moffat alongside The Empty Child). The cameo of Amy and Rory was a beautiful and amusing inclusion to the special as well. This would be the last episode of Doctor Who to be shown for the next nine months, starting a trend of excruciating waits between series and specials that would come to be the hallmark of the Chibnall era.

10. The end of Confidential

On 28 September 2011, it was announced that Doctor Who Confidential would be cancelled at the end of its current series; initially, it was reported that the episode for the 2011 Christmas Special was still on but it was later confirmed that it would not be happening. This was due to budget cuts at the BBC, with it resulting in an initiative to focus on original British shows, particularly at the 9 and 10 PM timeslots on BBC Three. There was a petition to save Doctor Who Confidential from cancellation, but nothing came of it.

Behind-the-scenes material was still made for Series 7 and beyond, which was published online and released on home media. Other behind-the-scenes series including Doctor Who Extra, Inside Look, Closer Look, The Fan Show and Access All Areas were also made, but they never really reached the popularity that Confidential had. As I said in the retrospective for Series 2, Confidential is rumoured to return as Doctor Who Unleashed for the RTD2 era, but time will only tell whether it results in anything significant.

Where Series 5 was a continuation of the series format we all knew and loved, Series 6 marked a change in the format as the story arc was told across two runs split two months apart. The mystery of River Song and the Silence was solved and now, all that was left to be addressed was Trenzalore and the First Question.

Series 6 may not have been everyone’s cup of tea, but it opened the show up to new audiences as the hype towards the upcoming 50th Anniversary was starting to build. Stay tuned for Part 7 as we dive into the 50th Anniversary with my 10 takes on Series 7 and its associated specials.

How to delete your Yahoo account permanently

While closing an old email account can help you stay organized, deleting Yahoo Mail may actually be a security requirement, particularly in light of previous security lapses. In order to streamline digital management and lessen your digital footprint, delete any outdated or unused emails as they tend to attract spam. However, the process of deleting your Yahoo account is irreversible – back up all your important information first.

How to delete a Yahoo account

If you delete your Yahoo email account, you will also lose My Yahoo settings, Flickr account and photos, Yahoo Messenger and other data related to your Yahoo account. Make sure you download any information you might need later before ending your Yahoo email account. Verify that you are certain that you want to close your Yahoo email account.

To remove your Yahoo account, take the following actions:

Open “Subscriptions.”

Make sure you don’t have any active subscriptions before deleting your account.

Next, navigate to the Yahoo account cancellation website.

Press “Continue delete my account.”

Once your email address has been entered, click "Yes, close this account."

According to Yahoo, the removal process can take several days or even weeks to finish, and it might take longer in some nations. After you terminate the account, any emails sent to this Yahoo account will bounce back with a delivery failure message.

Yahoo also says that even when the account is completely closed, some of your information "may possibly remain" in their systems. To find out more about which information might be stored, visit Yahoo’s Data Storage and Anonymization support page.

How to reactivate a Yahoo account

To reactivate your Yahoo mail account, all you need to do is log back in with your original login details. After confirming your recovery details, you'll need to create a new password.

Once you delete your Yahoo account, you’ll have 30 days to change your mind. Your former account will be permanently deleted when the 30-day period has passed, and there will be no way to retrieve it. Even though a 30-day delay is typical throughout much of the world, be sure to confirm the rules in your own nation. Users from Australia and New Zealand, for instance, have ninety-nine days to get their accounts back.

Should you delete your Yahoo account?

Yahoo has a poor security record, so a user can’t be blamed for wanting to close their Yahoo account.

Verizon, an Internet service provider that battled for the right to sell your search history to unaffiliated parties, acquired Yahoo. Yahoo Mail also scans your messages in order to show you personally relevant offers based on the information it has gathered on you.

Almost one in seven people on Earth had their Yahoo account data compromised between 2013 and 2014.

In 2017, Yahoo issued another data security warning. In 2015 and 2016, 32 million Yahoo email addresses were impacted by forged browser cookies, as opposed to over a billion email addresses being compromised.

Hackers typically search databases for compromised login credentials and attempt to access other websites using email addresses that have been made public online. A data breach might potentially jeopardize all of your accounts if you happen to use the same login information for multiple of them.

We recommend that you check the strength of your password and see if it has ever been compromised, even if you don't believe that any information related to your account has been compromised. Additionally, you may determine if any other past data breaches have resulted in the compromise of your password.

How to use a Yahoo account safely

Yahoo has experienced numerous significant data breaches. Given that over a billion accounts have been compromised, it becomes sense that some consumers might think twice before opening a Yahoo account. It's preferable to be proactive about online security in general rather than depending on Yahoo's protection. These are some of the greatest methods for maintaining your online safety if you use a Yahoo account.

Use a password manager.

Using an encrypted vault that is only accessible by you, a password manager totally secures the passwords to all of your accounts. Software like NordPass can generate complex passwords so you don’t have to. When prompted, the passwords will also autofill the correct criteria, meaning you don’t need to memorize complicated strings of letters, numbers and symbols.

Exercise caution online.

Hackers and cybercriminals will employ social engineering to persuade you into handing out identifying data, or even accidently divulging your account login details.

Furthermore, stay away from clicking links in unsolicited emails as they can direct users to browser hijackers. It could be a sign of malicious software modifying your browser's settings if your search engine keeps switching to Yahoo or other strange websites. Use reliable antivirus software and check your browser's settings and extensions on a regular basis to avoid this.

18th September 2024 | 12:24PM

Dear Pebbles,

There are some choices in life that you have to make when you would rather close your eyes and ignore the problem.

Over the last year a bizarre series of events happened to me that I did not understand. Maybe you saw what happened. Maybe somebody impersonated me online. Maybe it was a combination of everything.

Here is the reality:

A world war is in progress. It is happening as we speak, with most of the set up plays happening behind closed doors. War is an extremely profitable business and you need all sorts of things to keep it going, such as:

Weaponry

Uniforms and other clothing

Medical supplies

Transportation

Communication devices

Surveillance

Food and beverages

Accommodation

And many many more

Almost anything you could possibly think of is required in war.

But it would be irresponsible to leave the gathering of supplies till the whistle blows. You need to invest in these areas before it begins.

It doesn't take a genius to make the links to insider trading before these businesses hit the stock market. Some people will become very rich people from these things.

So what does this have to do with me?

Pebbles, Australia's blood supply is completely governed by Australia. There is also only one organisation that collects it nation wide.

Should I follow through with a case of discrimination throughout my employment between 2017-2022 something monumental will happen.

The dismantling of Australia's blood supply.

But before you jump to conclusions let me explain how it would work.

The collection of blood and blood products would never cease, but a complete follow through into a court of law will mostly likely end up with the non-for-profit organisation being left bankrupt to pay for damages incurred and leave the seats for ownership wide open for another country to grab hold.

In the game of war, blood products are essential on the battlefield and another country having ownership could tip the scales into someone else's favour.

So why would I do such a thing? Why would I go that far? Why would I risk Australia like that?

I'll try my best to explain.

A drawn out lawsuit through a rigorous court process could take as long as three years. Maybe more, maybe less. In that period of time the whistle cannot be blown to start the game with such a large weakness.

This means the mandatory drafting of men between the ages of 18-45 would be put on hold.

The cannon fodder for this entire game cannot be recruited on board across the entire globe.

Preparations are stagnated.

Inside trading and investments grind to a halt while a new game takes place. With no return of investment, some key players will most likely lose their footing while their fundings dry up.

Just ask yourself why our taxes are so high and it's easy to see.

You go broke -> You lose everything -> You have nothing to live for?

Welcome to the regime, Cannon Fodder. Your sacrifice will ultimately be forgotten.

A new owner will be up for grabs which means Australia's previous alliances will ultimately become null and void.

The government can't fund the entire blood industry of Australia, which means investors need to buy in. Will it be sold to the highest bidder?

Well as they debate and draw up contracts, people inside the industry will begin to jump from a sinking ship. CSL stocks will crash and money will be lost. By having no clear new leadership in an appropriate time frame, the culture will become so toxic that it will crumble from the inside out.

This leaves room in the market for a new business or two to fill the gap. War has not started, but people are still entirely dependent on the supply. Nobody will deny sick people the right to live.

This welcomes new players into the game which determines new alliances. It is the equivalent of a hand around Australia's throat with a thumb lightly resting on the jugular. One long, hard press is all that's needed to say goodnight, permanently.

How horrifying reality truly is.

Would the Wicked Witch of the West do such a terrible thing?

Pebbles, I would do it to bring war to a grinding halt and buy the world some time to figure something else out.

Right now their reasoning for going to war is social media and technological devices.

Each country has access to the world's devices. They are able to gather data, curate your individual algorithms, ping your location and much more.

All key players have access to the big brother affect and are utilising it to their fullest extent. They believe that each of us clicking accept on the terms and conditions is enough of a legal loop hole to do it.

Except privacy law is different in each country. The logic of clicking accept on Australian soil while using an American device and downloading multiple countries applications means it truly isn't feasible for the user to understand the legal implications.

Privacy law is different in each country, so what countries law is the user ultimately signing their name to?

Ask yourself Pebbles, would you rather go fight in a war and die or delete an app?

The entire logic for this war is not logical at all.

The West wants the East and any country with tight government restrictions for their citizens. The West wants a global big brother affect that they currently do not have for everybody.

That's all this is.

The West doesn't have access to the East.

That's it.

Every step of this journey has been proven and each country is keeping extreme tabs on me.

My only request is to be paid for my consultation services by the Australian Government or I go to court and start playing.

Would you rather pay someone for their advice or watch your kingdom collapse?

Charles is upset he can't just kill his problems off. But like I've always said the only person who can hold a white man accountable is a white woman.

And remember, I wouldn't be yapping so much and giving away such crucial details to the war regime if the government officials spoke to me like an adult.

Instead they play stupid games, steal from me, take my advice, enact new laws and not pay me a fucking cent for my contributions.

The nuts these boys have to believe they can act and behave how they like.

Now everybody knows.

An NDA would have been a better option than wasting tax payer money to try and sweep me under the rug.

Yes, you heard that right. They are using your money to play these games.

30% tax and they can use those funds however they like.

They want a free capitalistic market to rort you of your personal money, then governing laws to get you to cough up the money to fund their insider trading to ultimately send you off to war and kill you. A free market but with all governing rules to punish you if you don't comply.

Are we sure China is the problem?

When you are experiencing an isolated situation while in a group dynamic, remember that the feeling you're having isn't limited to just you. To shout at the group means the ones behind you only hear the echoes. Find that person standing alone and hold their hand.

The world is scary but your father taught you everything you need to know about fighting. Trust in yourself that a weakness is ultimately a strength and use it to redirect the blow.

As always,

I love you. Don't worry about anything. There are many more friends than foes. Guardian angels look different these days.

Ruby

(Remember that the Navy rules the seven seas. The British Monarchy ultimately own the Navy. The primary internet connections are cables under the seven seas. Be mindful of information online, including from me)
