The 50th Anniversary of the 1965 Freedom Ride, from Sydney to outback NSW. Original Freedom Riders, get the chance to reflect on how far Australia has come in fifty years.

It was a day of songs and gratitude to the original Freedom Riders who 50 years ago hopped on a bus heading for Aboriginal equality.

On Wednesday afternoon buses containing 28 of the next generation of freedom riders and about a dozen of the original riders from 1965 arrived in Dubbo to chants of "freedom" .

It was the first stop in a four-day re-enactment to mark the 50th anniversary of the ride that was led by Aboriginal activist Charles Perkins and Bill Ford, who had been inspired by the American freedom riders.

Report: Press freedom around world deteriorating – even in U.S.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12 (UPI) -- The world is undergoing a deterioration of the safety of journalists and freedom of the press, according to a report released Thursday.

The World Press Freedom Index by Reporters Without Borders ranked 180 countries with criteria that include media independence and competition, the safety and freedom of journalists and the government environment in which the media operate in 2014.

About two-thirds of the countries surveyed performed worse last year than the year before.

The drop in press freedom can be attributed in part to wars, the ongoing threat from non-state groups like Boko Haram and the Islamic State, violence during protests and the economic crisis, Reporters Without Borders said.

Countries that experienced a decline in press freedom include the United States, which dropped two spots to 49th in the index.

The drop in the United States is linked to the government's ongoing struggle against WikiLeaks and the prosecution of New York Times reporter James Risen to reveal his sources. Risen regards President Barack Obama as "the greatest enemy to press freedom in a generation."

Adorra (32) dropped 27 spots, the sharpest fall in press freedom for the media's lack of independence from financial, political and religious interests.

Italy dropped 24 spots to 73rd after journalists experienced defamation suits and threats from groups like the mafia.

Venezuela dropped 21 places to 137th after the national army opened fire on journalists during protests.

Recently, Egypt (158) began the retrial of two Al Jazeera journalists after they were convicted of aiding the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood illustrating the strict stance taken by some Arab governments against freedom of the press.

Freedom Foods carries substantial trading decline and puts price on A2

March 4, 2015 Sophie Langley

Freedom Foods has reported a Net profit of $55.2 million for the first half of the 2015 financial year. However, the Net Profit figure was boosted by the inclusion of a post-tax fair value gain of $52.2 million from the gain on reclassification of the A2 Milk Company investment.

The Company achieved an Operating EBDITA of $6.3 million (including interest from Associates), a marginal decrease of 1.4 per cent on the previous corresponding period.

Freedom Foods is the largest single shareholder in the A2 Milk Company, which owns and commercialises unique and comprehensive intellectual property rights relating to A2 brand milk and related dairy products in a range of international markets including Australia. Freedom Foods has now reclassified its shares in the A2 Milk Company as Available for Sale. Commentators have suggested that Freedom Foods might be hoping to sell off some or all of its shares in the A2 Milk Company to offset profit losses.

The Company said its profit loss result reflected the impact of commissioning of the new nutritional snack equipment reducing manufacturing recoveries and gross margin during the half, although there were increased sales in all business units.

UHT operations and Specialty Seafood performed ahead of the prior year. The Company said it considered the operating EBDITA result satisfactory considering the significant investment and commissioning of plant being undertaken and adjustments required to the operating structure of the business in this phase.

Reclassification of investment in A2 Milk Company

Freedom Foods acquired additional shares in the A2 Milk Company in the first half, for a total net consideration of $538,000.

During the first half of the 2015 financial year, Freedom Foods reclassified how it accounts for investment in the A2 Milk Company to an Available for Sale investment.

Pension freedom tax tip for the wealthy: Start capped drawdown NOW

A leading financial adviser has put wealthy individuals on alert that they can hang onto an important tax perk after pension freedom reforms - if they act now.

Wealthy pension savers should consider setting up a 'capped drawdown' plan ahead of freedom reforms in April to keep the tax benefits of paying up to 40,000 a year into their fund, he suggests.

Pension freedom reforms mean all over-55s will be able to access their full retirement savings and have the power to invest and withdraw money as they wish.

Pension freedom: All over-55s will be able to access their full retirement savings and have the power to invest and withdraw money as they wish

The drawback for the better off is that immediately you take advantage of flexible drawdown under the new rules, limits are placed on how much money you can then contribute to your pension pot and still automatically get tax relief.

Compensation for eugenics victims stands better chance with lawmakers this year

LYNCHBURG Efforts to get compensation for victims of Virginias forced sterilization policy appear to be on stronger footing this year with a brighter state budget outlook and continued backing from House of Delegates leaders.

I think it has a better chance of getting out this year than it did last year. Last year, we ran out of money, said Del. John OBannon, R-Henrico, a subcommittee chairman on the House Appropriations Committee.

Cyborg flesh is now a reality

Bioengineers from Harvard have taken the first step towards making the Terminator series come truetheyve created functioning samples of cyborg tissue, half-living and half-electronics. Tissue samples include neurons, muscle and heart cells, and blood vessels interwoven with nanowires and transistors.

To start building the cyborg flesh, researchers started with a 3D scaffoldusually made of collagenwhere cells were encouraged to grow. Nanowires and transistors were woven into the collagen matrix to create nanoelectric scaffolds (nanoES), and the cells were then grown as usual.

The Harvard team has mostly grown rat tissues so far, but theyve also grown a 1.5 cm cyborg human blood vessel. According to lead researcher, Charles Lieber, the next step is to use the nanoelectric scaffold to talk to individual cells, to wire up tissue and communicate with it in the same way a biological system does. So far, theyve only used the nanoES to read cellular data.

Cris Cyborg Blasts Ronda Rousey, Rousey Team Members: 'The Lion Is Coming'

Jon Kopaloff/Getty Images Cris Cyborg

Cristiane "Cyborg" Justino has never been known for taking prisoners in the cage. She's now getting more aggressive outside the chain link too, all presumably in the name of locking up the epic meeting she craves with Ronda Rousey.

Cyborg is trading shots online with Rousey's coaches and even her mother, defending herself from ongoing claims that she is overrated or using performance-enhancing substances.

Though Rousey has yet to publicly respond, she has demonstrated before that she isn't exactly passive when it comes to broadsides against her inner circle.

Rousey's mother, AnnMaria De Mars, exchanged heated tweets with Cyborg on Tuesday, with De Mars issuing a taunt about Cyborg's ongoing struggle to make the 135-pound bantamweight limit. Rousey has heretofore insisted Cyborg must reach that weight threshold in order for them to fight. Cyborg has traditionally competed in the 145-pound featherweight division.

And it doesn't end there. Monday on The MMA Hour broadcast, jiu-jitsu celebrity and Rousey coachRener Gracie said people were giving Cyborg too much credit. Cyborg responded to thatwith words posted through her account to The Underground, MMA's venerable discussion board.

"I am not surprised you say bad things about me," the post read in part. "Your athlete used the same technique to grow her name. ... Nobody made my name but me. I have no grandfather name to live off of. Go promote your online students while I earn my credit fighting, and ask the real Gracies what respect means."
