America at 250 faces a new struggle over who really holds power
As America marks 250 years since independence, debates over democracy, oligarchy and executive power are reshaping the nation's political identity, writes Patrick Keane.

A football genius with an unmatched CV, Gary Ablett jnr earns automatic Hall of Fame selection
IT SEEMS remarkable now to imagine it was ever the case, but Gary Ablett jnr was nervous and fighting off self-doubt when he first walked into Kardinia Park as a long-haired hopeful young draftee. He enters the Australian Football Hall of Fame from that 2001 'Super Draft' as among the very greatest to have taken the field so far this century, with a CV so stacked that the discussion around his name at this selection year's meeting took only enough time for everyone to simply say, 'yes'.
Tiwi great who brought success to South Adelaide joins the Hall of Fame
OF THE limited grainy vision that exists of the 1964 SANFL Grand Final, won by South Adelaide in a story for the ages, one player from the two teams stands out so much as if he'd been plucked from a completely different game and time, and specially placed into this whirlwind of a match to decide a premiership. Which is just about exactly what did happen to David Kantilla, and his story as one of the trailblazers of football.
The 1000-goal Port Adelaide great who helped end famous drought enters Hall of Fame
ROOKIE coach John Cahill had inherited a massive job with massive expectations when he stepped from a brilliant playing career into the coaching box at Port Adelaide in the mid-1970s.

Demons great Garry Lyon's on and off-field legacy honoured with Hall of Fame induction
FOR THE past quarter of a century, Garry Lyon has been one of the most respected voices of the senior past players in the game. Careers in the media don't last a decade, let alone stretch towards 30 years, without both significant preparation work and a level of gravitas.
'Nobody's had more fun than I did': SA great Peter Darley a Hall of Famer, on and off the field

Best of the best: AFLW trailblazer Erin Phillips joins father Greg in the Australian Football Hall of Fame
ON HER induction into the Australian Football Hall of Fame, the last brick in the wall placed in front of the teenage Erin Phillips has now fallen way.

Football's greatest goalkicker Ken Farmer finally becomes a Hall of Fame Legend
THE LANGUAGE of sport in South Australia during the 1930s was centuries. In the summer months, Don Bradman would peel off tons for South Australia and Australia at a rate not seen before, and never since, by anyone wearing flannels. HALL OF FAME Check out the inductees, Legends and more Equally, in winter, when it was the domain of footballers and Adelaide Oval would occasionally be heavy with mud, Ken Farmer tallied centuries in the SANFL like no one since.

Beauty and the Law Mark Fowler £26, Connor Court Publishing ★★★★★ At the very beginning of the Christian era, the apologist Tertullian posed the rhetorical question: ‘What has Athens to do with Jerusalem?’.

Addressing The Hurdles To Widespread AI Adoption
While artificial intelligence has been around for years with classic AI models used for things like cybersecurity, interest has spiked in the last year thanks to the boom in generative AI. We've seen throughout modern history that anytime a brand-new technology comes around that people tend to rush in to get their hands on it without really knowing how they're going to use it and if it's the right fit for their needs.
New footage of 1963 Hawks-Demons preliminary final discovered

The three men who saved Dane Swan's career, and the day he loves the most
A LOCKED date on his calendar is the single thing that Dane Swan cherishes most of all from his time in football.

'The Flash' Michael Graham adds crowning achievement as trailblazer enters Australian Football Hall of Fame
A FOOTBALL field can leave a player feeling mightily exposed in many different ways. It takes obvious courage to stand in front of a descending pack, but it's just as difficult when a player is confronted by the moment where an opponent will flat-out embarrass them on the biggest stage of league footy. HALL OF FAME Check out the inductees, Legends and more In the 1970s, as he starred in both SA and the NT as a 12-months-per-year footballer, Michael Graham could make you look stupid.

From Glenelg to the Adelaide Crows, SA football legend Chris McDermott enters Hall of Fame
IF THE childhood sporting dreams of Chris McDermott had come true, he would have been fighting it out with Ian Healy for the spot as the Australian Test wicketkeeper in the 1980s and 1990s. Growing up in the 1960s and 1970s, in the decades before video games and iPhones and in the days of limited black and white television, every child had to know how to entertain themselves.

THE AISH name is royalty at the Parade in South Australia, home of the Norwood Football Club. Patriarch Peter captained the club in the 1960s, then taught the game to his sons Andrew and Michael, who were both premiership players in the 1980s.

From late starter to Hall of Famer, Geelong Cats great Jim Bartel earns induction
WHEN compared to nearly all of those he now stands alongside in the Hall of Fame, Jim Bartel was a late starter to footy. Further, if mother Dianne had said yes to a sliding-door opportunity when she took young Jim and elder sisters Olivia and Emma to the United States for a year when he was 10 as part of a teaching exchange, he might be being recognised now as a great of American football, rather than the Australian game.

Self-Healing Glass/Metakaolin-Based Geopolymer Composite Exposed to Molten Sodium Chloride and Potassium Chloride
Abstract : Geopolymers (GP) are a class of X-ray amorphous, nanoporous, nanoparticulate materials that can be mixed, poured, and cured under ambient conditions. Typically, geopolymers are made using a Group 1 (G1) alkali activator such as sodium or potassium metasilicate and an aluminosilicate precursor. An analogous material to GPs is ordinary Portland cement because of the similarities in processing, however, the resulting microstructure is more similar to that of a glass.

Ep 72 - Chad Daniels, Irvine Improv
Ep 72 - Chad Daniels, Irvine Improv Performed in Irvine this past weekend with one of my favorite comics and people, Chad Daniels. He's one of the greats. People in the double bubble were walking away amazed, but some felt it was too political which means it made them think and they don't even know if they agree or disagree, all they remember is that it made them think. I would say they'll be safe as long as they don't leave the Orange Curtain, but they may not even be safe here.
