7/23/2023 0 Comments Innocent witness rentThere was a sense of shock in the Senate, and what on earth she was talking about. And basically, Lidia Thorpe just started interjecting. ![]() Senator David Van was giving a speech about that and the weaponisation and making criticisms of what had gone on. These are all of the things that led up to this moment. Gallagher and had even, potentially, sent her a transcript of the project interview before it went to air. But from the leaked text messages where it was revealed that Mr. And that's why Katy Gallagher has been accused of misleading parliament, because basically she said, How dare you? No one had any knowledge. Samantha Maiden: So, she was clearly suggesting we didn't have any knowledge of that. Katy Gallagher: “no one had any knowledge. Linda Reynolds: “…about what you were intending to do with the story. And in that moment, Linda Reynolds confronted those women and she said, “I know where this started”… and Katy Gallagher said, “How dare you? No one had any knowledge.” Higgins and Penny Wong and Katy Gallagher. Now, why is this important? It's important because there was a clash in Senate estimates in June of 2021 between Linda Reynolds, the former defence minister and former employer of Ms. So, Senator Katy Gallagher has been under fire for almost two weeks, following the emergence in these text messages of evidence that she was tipped off before the story broke. ![]() Can you just give us the context of how and why the fresh allegations came out? ![]() And what they knew and when they knew it.ĭavid Lipson: Indeed, it was a debate about those text messages that prompted the new and explosive claims from Senator Thorp. All of these things have come into the public domain, and that has triggered a debate about the Labor Party and whether or not they weaponised this argument or whether or not they weaponised the allegation. Samantha Maiden: We've had the emergence of audiotapes that Channel Ten provided under subpoena. News grab: “…Text messages between Brittany Higgins and her partner David Shiraz show how the pair attempted to gain the support of senior Labor figures as they pursued her rape allegation.” And of course, we've also had a defamation case commence and now we find ourselves in this situation where there has been the wholesale leaking of Ms. Now, we find ourselves in a situation where there has been an inquiry, at a Canberra level, into claims that the police sided with the defence in the matter - considering the conduct of the DPP and police and also the victims of Crime Commissioner Heidi Yates, who supported Brittany Higgins through that process. That trial collapsed as a result of juror misconduct and ultimately a second trial did not proceed, even though that was clearly what the DPP wanted, because of concerns for Ms. The man that she accused has pleaded not guilty, has always maintained his innocence. ![]() Samantha Maiden: In the intervening months and years, many things have happened. Samantha Maiden: I think that this week has to some extent been almost like travelling back in a time machine, to those very heady and sometimes emotional and confronting days of 2021, when Brittany Higgins first stepped forward to make the allegation that she was raped at Parliament House.ĭavid Lipson: Samantha Maiden is the political editor at. Senator Van insists he's done nothing wrong.ĭavid Van: There should be and must be an investigation into these outrageous claims so they can be proved to be false.ĭavid Lipson: It's all come in the midst of further claims and counterclaims about who knew what when regarding the allegation from Brittany Higgins that she was raped in a minister's office in 2021. And to have him talking about this today is an absolute disgrace.ĭavid Lipson: The Opposition Leader Peter Dutton has removed Senator Van from the Liberal Party room and is now urging him to quit Parliament. (Senator Thorpe) and the prime Minister had to remove him from his office. Lidia Thorpe: This person, (Senator Thorpe, I would just warn, trust me, at this point) sexually assaulted me…. In a heated exchange, Lidia Thorpe, an independent senator, used parliamentary privilege to point the finger at Senator David Van. The issue of how women are treated in federal parliament has exploded again with new allegations of sexual assault and harassment levelled against a Liberal senator. I'm David Lipson, coming to you from Gadigal Land in Sydney.

Some might even serve as nature safaris, as has been speculated with the planet Gagarin. Not every planet will have something meaningful on – plenty of them will be resource-rich and solely act as planets to mine. We know for a fact that Starfield has over 1,000 planets, spread throughout a plethora of star systems. Here are some of the highlights for what you can expect when the Starfield release date rolls around: Locations As a result, and thanks to the sheer scope and magnitude of the game, there will be a lot to do. Starfield is being billed as a mixture between Bethesda’s previous RPGs such as The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim and Fallout 4, combined with No Man’s Sky, Elite Dangerous, and The Outer Worlds. It covers everything the 2022 trailer did in much greater detail, including a lengthy section on exactly what your mission will be throughout the game, combat, character creation, companions, NPCs, combat, skills, space flight, exploration, and more. Todd Howard and Istvan Pely, Lead Artist on Starfield, also show off the Chronomark watch you’ll receive if you buy the Constellation Edition of the game, which is a fully fledged smartwatch that will connect to your phone. There’s far too much to summarise here, but if you’re looking for the most up-to-date Starfield footage, this is the video you need to watch. At the time of writing, there is no sign of it receiving any further delays – but we’ll update this if there is any change to the release date ahead of launch.įinally, we get to the latest deep dive from the 2023 Xbox Showcase, which features 45 minutes of gameplay and interviews with members of the development team. In March, Starfield was delayed again until the current release date of September 6. Starfield’s original release date was scheduled for November 11, 2022, but in May of that year, it was delayed to “the first half of 2023”. It will not be on PS4 or PS5 thanks to Microsoft’s acquisition of Bethesda Game Studios, which means Starfield is exclusive for the foreseeable future. Starfield will be available on PC and Xbox Series X/S, and Xbox Game Pass subscribers can play on launch as part of their subscription too. If you’re unsure about buying it early, you can always check out our Starfield pre-order guide to help you decide. However, if you pre-order the digital premium edition for early access, you can play from September 1 onwards. The Starfield release date is September 6, 2023, as revealed in the Official Launch Date Announcement trailer.

A celebration of Charlie’s life will be held at 11 a.m. at Keeney and Basford Funeral Home, 106 East Church Street, Frederick, MD. Visitation will be Friday, March 10 th from 5-7 p.m. He filled the hearts of every single person he met.Ĭharlie is survived and will be incredibly missed by his loving wife Terrie of Jefferson, MD, and his three children, Glen Oakley (wife Christa) of Walkersville, MD, Roy Oakley, Mesquite, TX, and Megan Shankle, Brunswick, MD grandchildren Catherine and Sydney Oakley sister, Judith Covalt and nieces Jodie Covalt, Sara Minnick (husband Jason and son Ronin) and Caty Griffin (husband Kenny and children, Skyler, Kenny, Ella and Layla) and Sister-In-Law, Deb Noonan. There was never a doubt just how much they all meant to him, and you could always see that in his million-dollar smile. ![]() His family will lovingly remember him serenading them with his own unique version of yodeling, his rendition of the song “Bill Grogan’s Goat” or playing his harmonica, taking them on family vacations to the beach, or just spending time at home. There is nothing that Charlie loved more than his wife and family, his ISG family and his church family at Frederick Presbyterian Church. After leaving EDS, Charlie followed his dream and founded ISG Solutions, a consulting/software development company, in Gaithersburg, Maryland, where he employed not only his wife and three children, but many others that he has always considered his ISG family and cherished friends. He could also go up against the best of best in Jeopardy.Īfter college Charlie worked for the Oklahoma Farm Bureau and then went on to work at EDS, where it was fate that he met the love of his life and wife of 35 years, Terrie. You could always find him tucked away reading a book or his iPad, whether learning about computer programming or even brushing up on his calculus to help one of his children or grandchildren with their coursework. Charlie was a wealth of knowledge and “knew many things” as he would often say. Scholastica and Northwestern University, in his late 60’s, where he took courses in business. Charlie was also accepted into the graduate program at both The College of St. He graduated from Stonewall High School, Stonewall Oklahoma in 1961 and went on to study at Oklahoma University, the home of the Sooners. His loving wife and best friend holding him in her arms while Kenny G’s, “Forever In Love,” was playing in the background- an incredible testament to their love story.Ĭharlie, the oldest of two children, was born on October 21, 1942, in the small town of Paul’s Valley, Oklahoma to father, Glen Howard Oakley and mother, Billy Gay Oakley, both who proceeded him in death.Ĭharlie was quite the scholar. In 1988, Michael Cage and Charles Oakley were in a stat battle on the final day but since rebound titles aren’t as glamorous as scoring ones, you probably never heard this story.Early in the morning of March 6, 2023, William Charles “Charlie” Oakley, 80, put on his cap, packed his harmonica and peacefully made his way to eternal rest. The highest point total in 25/25 games was Chris Webber, who had 51 points to go with 26 rebounds back in 2001. ![]() Since 1985, there have been 27 instances of 25/25 games and two instances of 25/30 games Kevin Love in 2010 had the other with a 31/31 masterpiece. Yes, that means Oakley had 50 points and 56 rebounds in 2 games. ![]() To add to the insanity, Oakley followed up this game with 24 points and 21 rebounds vs the Celtics in the final game of the season. His Airness missed 14 of his 26 attempts and Oakley had 16 offensive rebounds. Jordan was a big reason for Oakley’s big night. But doubling his scoring average (matching Michael Jordan) while grabbing an insane 35 rebounds in just 41 minutes sounds like a boxscore typo…but we have video proof! The 26 points alone by Charles Oakley was impressive considering the Bulls power forward was averaging 12 points a game and only scored over 20 eight times during this season. 7/23/2023 0 Comments Escape room command centerIt’s great to have a specific place where these things belong. One little floral bag even holds …er… uh…my chocolate stash! (wink) A cork board on the wall, and a calendar that collects sticky notes display lots of lists, reminders and inspiration. Pretty gift bags also make great places to hold notepaper, stickers, cards and letters. I have a wide shelf at elbow height that holds files, trays, baskets and such, very handy for all my personal files and office supplies. As a daughter at home, my command center is in my bedroom closet. I love to see all styles of command centers. One drawer holds stamps and envelopes and the other is for phone chargers.ĭo you have a cabinet in your home that you’ve set up as an organized destination? Similar Cabinets:ĭear Melissa, thanks for sharing your home details with us, it’s all definitely inspiring! I’m learning to keep my things simpler and tidier. If we need to flee in the middle of the night with keys and a flashlight, we’ll be all set. ![]() Keeping certain items handy in this cabinet means we also feel prepared with some essentials in the event of emergency. We also have a magnetic clip (stuck onto the door with a command strip) to clip notes. This is a handy location for these items in case the power goes out, or if a guest is staying in our home and might need to easily access them. Press and stick hooks on the other door hold an extra set of keys and an emergency flashlight. If they become a catch all it’s time to pare down to a more defined purpose. The key with baskets is to give them a designated purpose and stick with it. Eye glasses, receipts…we’ve used them in different ways in different seasons, depending on our needs. Paper trays keep our most important, currently relevant and more time sensitive papers sorted so I rarely have to panic wondering where I put something. My cork came in the shapes of triangles, but you could (of course!) use any shape or size to suit your needs. A few peel and stick cork boards on the inside of the door became a spot to stick things like emergency numbers, addresses, contractor business cards, lists, school forms or invitations. It actually didn’t take much to make this cabinet useful for our needs. A couple of years later I can say this continues to be a useful and (fairly) organized destination in our home that we still use every day! We still use this organizational system today, so this isn’t one of those projects bloggers might show that never really get used. Once we emptied the cabinet, it was easy to reimagine it for a new purpose. The glassware and entertaining items were relocated to a different cabinet to make room for the new command center. I’ll put a source list at the bottom of this post with what we used and similar sources! We don’t have a lot of room and our budget for completing this project was probably less than $30, so we had to get creative and use what we already had. (This cabinet is out of stock, but this one is similar and I’ll link to others at the end of the post!). So I decided to reinvent this cabinet and give it a new purpose as our command central. Early on I realized we didn’t have a good “spot” for “those things” that you need to keep track of in a busy household. When we moved to this house, the cabinet ended up in our little entry. So handy and fun to have a spot for table setting. We used it as a hospitality cabinet! It’s where we kept things like our cloth napkins and napkin rings, dinner candles, serving utensils and special glasses. ![]() In our old house, this cabinet was in our dining room. You may remember seeing this cabinet in my books ( Simple Organizing), or in our last house, too, when it had an entirely different purpose. ![]() Since the task of decluttering or organization itself isn’t a big passion of mine, I guess thinking in terms of a creating a specific “destination” for things I like to do in my home is more inspiring to me. I’m a big fan of creating “destinations” or designated “stations” for organization! Coffee stations, gift wrap stations, mail stations, family command centers, I enjoy them all. I’m not obsessive about detailed organization, but I definitely feel more at peace when I have a few simple systems I can rely on. Simplifying, editing and staying organized has to be a daily task. Life around my house gets a little hectic sometimes. We’ve even repurposed it a couple of times to suit our needs in two different homes! Today I’ll share how we set this cabinet up as our home command center. You might remember seeing this cabinet in our home over the years. 7/23/2023 0 Comments Black amethyst engagement ringSend all returns to: JTV, Customer Returns, 190 For your own protection, merchandise should be returned prepaid and insured via PleaseĬomplete and include the Satisfaction Guarantee return form located on the back of your You're not, send it back in its as-shipped condition within 30 days of receipt.

But Gores was adamant that it is what the players and the organization deserved after so much turmoil through the team’s painful restoration. But Williams was important to point out that the money not only represents security, it also represents a commitment, and a generosity of spirit toward his family and the needs of his family that was represented in myriad ways.įor a billionaire like Gores going from a standard $5 million per season coach to a $12 million per season coach is like a rounding error. ![]() Yes, becoming the highest-paid coach in NBA history certainly never hurts. Why Detroit? Monty was unfailingly honest, and it’s something everyone should appreciate. ![]() “To be honest with you, I committed that night,” Williams said about his first in-person meeting with owner Tom Gores at his California home with Troy Weaver and other members of the Pistons’ brain trust in tow. Williams said he revealed these details about his family because he credits the genetic testing and early screening with potentially saving his wife’s life, and he encouraged other women to do the same.Īs fate would would have it, Williams received positive news about his wife’s prognosis, and the Pistons, who he’d already rebuffed, called back. He fully intended to focus on the needs of his wife and on the opportunity to be a bigger part of his family day-to-day. ![]() Part of that was financial - he had millions still guaranteed from the Phoneix Suns, the team that just unceremoniously fired him - and he was dealing with important family matters that were bigger than basketball.ĭuring his introductory press conference as the new head coach of the Detroit Pistons, Williams revealed that his wife was diagnosed with breast cancer during the NBA playoffs.
