Swift is popularly regarded as the author of one book, Gulliver’s Travels, which is like remembering Shakespeare solely for “Venus and Adonis.” His output was prolific and varied. Blair’s observation that Swift “delivers his sentiments in a plain, downright, positive manner” applies to his verse as well as his prose. This is from “On Poetry: A Rhapsody”(1733):
As Mark Steyn wrote last year regarding Angela Merkel, “You can take the girl out of East Germany, but you can’t take the East Germany out of the girl.”
There could be at least four by-elections in the early part of next year with two Labor MPs and a Nick Xenophon team MP all apparently being dual citizens when nominations closed last year.
Another MP, Labor's David Feeney, says he might also need to be referred to the High Court to test his eligibility.
Labor MP Josh Wilson's renunciation of his British citizenship came into effect on June 29, 2016 — 20 days after the June 9 deadline.
A troubled king tide prompted by a supermoon earlier this week has inundated areas around Sydney Harbour, with further record tides and flooding to come.

Republicans tucked some multibillion-dollar tax increases for
corporations into the 515-page tax bill they released this week —
spring-loaded hikes that would begin after 2024 if the economy doesn’t
grow as fast as GOP lawmakers have promised.
Some
of the taxes in question aim squarely at companies like Apple and
Alphabet, which rely on intellectual property, also known as
“intangibles,” that they’ve transferred to overseas subsidiaries, tax
experts say. Spokesmen for the two tech giants didn’t respond to
requests for comment Tuesday.
“These
so-called ‘sunrise’ provisions essentially are future tax traps for
unsuspecting multinationals,” said David Sites, a partner in Grant
Thornton LLP’s National Tax Office in Washington. In all, changes made
by the Senate Finance Committee last week would boost revenue from
international provisions aimed at such companies by about $55.6 billion
over a decade, to $154.6 billion; most of the increase would come in
2026 and 2027.

It visits when it is hungry, not when you are. It has a schedule all its own that you can never know. ~ Elliot Perlman “When you’re working hard to meet tight deadlines, you don’t have time to painstakingly bold every title in your document or fiddle with mysterious formatting inconsistencies at the 11th hour.

DeepDotWeb: “A study by Google discovered that phishing attacks through fake emails were as effective as compared to data breaches that exposed usernames and passwords. Cyber criminals or cyber groups manage to steal over 25,000 valid sets of web credentials for Gmail accounts every week, painting a picture of the extent this problem has reached. Hackers are constantly searching for, and are able to obtain over millions of different platform’s usernames and passwords on dark web marketplaces. This study was as a result of a team effort with the University of California at Berkeley and the International Computer Science Institute. The study focused on discovering the most common way in which user accounts get hacked. It also emphasized on the numerous hacking techniques available and which of them was the biggest threat to web users. “We find that the risk of a full email takeover depends significantly on how attackers first acquire a victim’s (reused) credentials,” the researchers stated. A 12-month investigation of login and account data found on websites and criminal forums, (or which had been harvested by hacking tools) observed more than 12 million instances of account theft as a result of a phishing Clear Memories came back via Teacher a film of real note There is a poem I once wrote 'Troubled Waters Love Moi' but cannot share even under capitalism as it ponders and reckons even reflects on the current state of affairs as well:
