This significant artwork, which acknowledges the Kaurna people as the traditional owners and custodians of the Adelaide area, is the work of Kaurna descendant Eileen Karpany with Darren Siwes and Tony Rosella. The simple sculptural forms represent the historical legacy and cultural heritage of the Kaurna people since 1800. This installation was initiated and part funded by the Graham F Smith Peace Trust Inc as their contribution to the reconciliation process. (Graham F Smith was a secondary society and environment teacher, interested in peace and justice issues.)
Principal features of the sculpture are:
• Tarnda Kanya (Red Kangaroo Rock) represented as a sculptured sandstone form. The cut edge represents the quarry and the precise gridlines indicate the destruction of the natural forms of Kaurna land and culture by the colonists;
• Ngangkiparringga (Onkaparinga), women’s river symbolised as a coolamon, a Kaurna woman’s large dish or bowl;
• Tjilbruke (The Ibis Man) represented by a spiral shape that symbolises the fresh water springs and journey of Tjilbruke;
• Yurridla (Place of ears - Dreaming story of the Mount Lofty Ranges). The Dreaming of Ngarno is depicted as a sandstone sculpture symbolising the two ears of the giant Ngarno (Mt Lofty and Mt Bonython);
• Kaurna Cosmology – The large circular area in the centre of this artwork represents the cosmic landscape through a depiction of the great sky river Wodliparri (Milky Way) and the Yurakauwe (lagoon of the giant serpent Yura). The artwork symbolises Kaurna connections between the skyworld and terrestrial plain;

Looks like the gay pasta war is boiling over.

You may have heard about the CEO of Barilla pasta company's recent homophobic comments and his even more recent non apology apology.

Looks like the competition is seizing the opportunity, bless 'em:

Just once we’d like to know how it feels to be a Republican extremist in the second decade of the 21st century. Just for a day.
It must feel good to be so sure of things, to be so certain in our beliefs that we can ignore data from science, economics and history, to say nothing of religious teachings. It must be great to be free of doubt.

Even better than cutting food stamps from these wastrels would be the knowledge that you preserved subsidies for big agriculture in the process. How freeing it must be to be Rep. Vicki Hartzler, R-Harrisonville, and preserve farm subsidies for her family while taking food from the poor people of her district. It’s not that we oppose government handouts; it’s that we want the Right People to get them. Makers, not takers. Job-creators. Wink, wink. Nudge, nudge.

Starbucks are hated in the UK, first time in 9 years they've paid tax because across the course of 14 years they only paid £8.6 million. Which is less than 1% in corporation tax (they made over £3 billion).



Pretty much they paid loan payments to US Starbucks at Libor, "royalties and license fees" to their starbucks in Netherlands, and Global coffee buying ops are in Switzerland . UK Starbucks effectively pays for this 'service;, lowering the taxable income even more. So doing all that they ended up paying 0% corporation tax.
