Found this [article](https://www.fastcompany.com/90726050/the-future-of-equality) in Fast Company (which used to be a really good magazine but has since become a liberal mouthpiece). It appears they passed a law a couple of years ago that will effectively allow honoring liberal heroes. Let's see how many conservative women make it on these coins (though, hopefully, a President Desantis can do just that!). Just woke heroes and posturing is my guess. If I understand the article, the reversed image of Washington will only be on the Women coins. That's good, because I do think, as someone noted, he looks dourer in this depiction which is probably indicative of how the left sees this nation.Australia’s navy chief has left the door open to keeping some of the existing Collins-class submarines in the water until 2050, amid uncertainty about the exact schedule for acquiring new nuclear-propelled submarines.
The government is already planning to extend the life of the six Collins class submarines by 10 years, with the extensive refitting work set to cost between $3.5bn and $6bn.
But the navy chief, V-Adm Michael Noonan, indicated on Friday that a “potential” option was to refit them a second time to further extend their life.
Given the first Collins-class submarines were commissioned in the late 1990s, that option could see them used until they are about 50 years old.
Australia is planning to acquire at least eight nuclear-propelled submarines under the Aukus partnership announced last month, but the first of these are not likely to be in the water until the late 2030s.
The South Australian senator Rex Patrick accused the government of being “extremely reckless” with national security amid the latest revelations.
He suggested Australia faced a worse outlook than 2009 when a decision was made to increase submarine numbers from six to 12 because of rising regional concerns.
At a shipbuilding committee hearing on Friday – the first since the $90bn French deal was dumped – senators explored concerns about Australia facing a “capability gap” while it waited for the new submarines to be ready.
Noonan played down that concern. He said the Collins class submarines would each undertake a life-of-type extension (LOTE). Each extension would take two years to complete, and would “essentially give 10 years’ life to that submarine”.
The first submarine would begin to be upgraded between 2026 and 2028, giving it a capability to 2038.
“And then we will see the second one, with an extended life as well,” Noonan told the Senate’s economics references committee.
The inquiry heard that the first submarine under the now defunct French deal would have been expected to be operational about 2034 or 2035.
Labor – which has backed the Aukus plan – said the evidence raised many questions for the government, including whether the Collins class submarines would be able to withstand multiple upgrades of this type.
Later in the hearing, however, Noonan expressed some caution about the use of the Collins class submarines into the 2040s and beyond.
“My assessment is we will be able to continue to operate the Collins class submarines very successfully through the 2020s, through the 2030s,” he said.
The Australian government has set up a taskforce, with 89 members and growing, whose job over the next year and a half is to work with the US and the UK on “identifying the optimal pathway to deliver at least eight nuclear-powered submarines for Australia”.
Noonan accepted that this “means that there is not yet a follow-on capability under contract”.
It remains unclear precisely how much the Australian government will have to pay to settle contracts with France’s Naval Group and another defence contractor, Lockheed Martin.
Greg Sammut, the general manager of submarines at the defence department, said there was “no break fee” but “there will be costs associated with termination”, which may not be known until early to mid next year.
Sammut defended the department’s handling of talks with Naval Group, after the scrapping of the French contract triggered an extraordinary diplomatic rift that saw France temporarily recall its ambassadors from Canberra and Washington in protest.
Sammut said his team had been made aware on the afternoon of 15 September that an announcement was to be made the following day in relation to the submarine program – but had not been aware of the content of the announcement.
He said his team had been aware that contingency planning was under way – but not the specific deliberations. “We were kept separate from that. We continued to work with Naval Group in good faith on the program of record that remained in place,” Sammut said.
In a letter dated 15 September – and obtained by Guardian Australia under freedom of information laws – Royal Australian Navy Commodore Craig Bourke cautioned Naval Group that its achievement of a key contractual milestone did “not provide any authorisation to continue work”.
The also inquiry heard the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation was consulted in March about a plan to buy nuclear-powered submarines, about six months ahead of the surprise announcement.
Ansto’s chief executive officer, Shaun Jenkinson, said he was asked about the organisation’s ability to support the endeavour.
“Initial conversations started in March and we had a number of consultations between then and the announcement,” he told the inquiry.
At the same hearing, the chief executive of the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency, Carl-Magnus Larsson, said his agency was briefed on the plan at the end of June or beginning of July.
Just when they were fulfilled 150 years of the yellow fever epidemic, from the Chacarita cemetery the plaque that identifies the tomb of the doctor disappeared Manuel Argerich, who died while fighting the epidemic that took the lives of 14,000 people. It is just one of the facts of vandalism that caregivers, relatives and specialists in Buenos Aires heritage have been denounced. In Chacarita, some graves remain without identity and it is difficult to identify them.
Argerich died on May 25, 1871. And on April 14 it was 150 years since it was decided to open a new cemetery in the Chacarita de los Colegiales area due to the collapse of the Sur burial, which was in Patricios Park. He is considered a hero of those times when the epidemic had put the lives of Buenos Aires in check. And his name takes relevance again in times of coronavirus, while the pandemic that plagues the world also impacts the City.
The Chacarita vaults are the ones that suffer the most from the theft of the plates, which in general tend to be of bronze and they are resold in sheds and junkyards. For this reason, more and more people do not allow to know which family they belong to or if they rest on them. illustrious people.
The theft of the plaque from Argerich’s tomb was added, for example, that of the jockey’s tomb Irineo Leguisamo, who rests in a family vault, but does not have his last name. So it is impossible to know that there are the remains of the man who competed for more than 50 years at racetracks in Argentina and Uruguay, the country where he was born, and who in addition to inspiring artistic works such as tangos and films, gave the name to the Legui cane, a famous drink that is still served in bars today.
The tribute of Ramón Palito Ortego on the bronze plaque that was stolen from Irineo Leguisamo’s vault.
Not only were the plaques that identified Leguisamo’s tomb stolen from Chacarita. They also took one in which the dedication of who was their “son of the heart” was read. Palito Ortega. “Your example and your love will always live in me. Your son Ramón. December 2, 1985 “, said the bronze that is no longer in its place.
Chacarita is the largest cemetery in the City. Has a surface of 95 hectares. In recent years, robberies and vandalism have become a recurring conflict. And despite the fact that income is limited by the pandemic, even last year, the full quarantine, plaques of monuments and bronze elements of vaults and tombs were taken, among them, of a Cenotaph of Eva Du
