![]() ![]() There's just one problem: a second-grader warns her that the first-grade teacher, Mrs. (and Puddy, her cat) is back to start first grade-with a loose tooth. It’s apparent in the awful violence and sexual assault statistics, the often-quoted male suicide rates, our propensity for alcohol addiction and much, much more.Having tackled shoelace-tying and new-school jitters, the heroine from Countdown to Kindergarten It took me ten years to full understand why I’d become the awful person I was at university and I’ve slowly began to understand how that macho culture can continue to affect us as we grow older. And to question why we did it without even the slightest inkling of remorse. To question why we allowed ourselves to treat men and women so disgracefully. It was then I first began to question my why we felt entitled to act in this manner. Once the new intake were inevitably told to get naked I mocked his loose-hanging skin, pointing it out for all to see.īut seeing the distress I was causing him turned a lightbulb on in my brain, and I slowly began to extricate myself from the fresher-baiting. I’d taken aim at a fresher who’d clearly lost a huge amount of weight and had excess skin around his midriff. Nightclub slammed by Advertising Standards Agency for using 'sexually explicit' ad showing woman having 'alcohol' poured into eyeĬoincidentally, just weeks before Holly confronted me, I’d tried for the first time to adopt the bullying persona expected of me as second year. Then, one day, she told me how I’d made her feel that night, explaining not only how I’d ruined her clothes and her evening, but also how degrading it was to be mocked by a room full of lads when she’d basically been attacked. I’d even actively avoid her on nights out or in and around campus. Out of sheer embarrassment and cowardice I didn’t speak to Holly again until second year. She was powerless to react, and quickly left the room holding back her tears. She was understandably furious, but before her seething fury was allowed to turn in to full blown rage, she looked up to see forty shirtless men chanting, laughing and high-fiving at her expense. So, reluctantly, I mouthed ‘sorry’ and covered her in purple booze. I turned to the group and, not then understanding the rank double-standards of my words, protested about having to pour my drink over someone I knew. The fact she was a friend changed everything. She was dressed up as one does for a party, and was about to enter the wrong room. This time my friend Holly was looking for her friend’s birthday party within the student union. All the time, still pissing.įirst year uni students forced to attend 'consent classes' telling them how not to rape Then, once she was enraged, to try and hold on to her. The aim of the game was to piss as long as possible until she noticed. The rules were simple: find a girl in a club, get her to dance with you then, when she’s grinding on your legs, you piss on hers. ![]() ![]() ![]() One game that became increasingly popular during my first year was called ‘Hot Leg’. The university did nothing to stop us because, well, ‘boys will be boys’, right?īut this was lad culture at its most pervasive, and the longer our actions went unchallenged, the more disgusting they became. Instead of treating this as a serious punishment, the entire team dressed up in drag, got blind drunk and spent the whole night acting out homoerotic scenes to the great amusement of each other. During one night some members of the team took it upon themselves to insult some members of the LGBT sports community.Īs a form of retribution, we were all forced to wear t-shirts bearing the ludicrous slogan ‘homophobia is gay’ on our next club social. Take, for example, the only time I can recall our rugby team being disciplined. Not only did we share naked videos of the women our club mates had slept with and start fights with anyone who dared to cross us, we did it in the full knowledge that we could act with an almost utter impunity towards everyone else on campus.

![]() ![]() Let’s assume for the case of this road test that the 2020 Porsche 718 Spyder is not going to be your only set of wheels in the garage. ![]() ![]() Together, the big atmo six, manual gearbox and compact and lightweight body combine to produce a package that doesn't just entice corner-carving, but begs you to test the claimed 0-100km/h time of 4.4sec.Īnother time, perhaps. Thanks to that Porsche 911 GT3-sourced front-end, the steering is razor-sharp and the mid-engined chassis anchors the car with an innate balance and poise that makes it far more adjustable in the middle of corners than any rear-engined 911. Weight distribution (44/56%) favours the rear, but you wouldn’t know it. The Porsche 718 Spyder rides 30mm lower to the ground than other Boxsters and aerodynamic changes include a flat underbody see a reduction in lift by 50 per cent – meaning it sticks to the road like never before. The auto-blip throttle function rev-matches (and amplifies) downshifts and is a clear sign that this car (and Porsche) understands its driver’s innate needs. ![]() The sense of connection with the car is undeniable – it feels pure and raw and the 718’s willingness to rev (to 8000rpm) is a joy to behold. Sticking to the speed-limit-regulated tarmac for our test, the Spyder is exhilarating to steer. The short-shifting gearbox is perfection, offering the slightest bit of tension in-hand as you navigate the gates of heaven. These numbers come alive under fire via a six-speed manual gearbox – currently the only option for both the 718 Spyder and Cayman GT4 hard-top, which otherwise share their hard parts. The 309kW/420Nm outputs of the Porsche 718 Spyder's 4.0-litre atmo boxer six might not sound that impressive these days, at least not for close to $200K, but consider this two-seat drop-top weighs just over 1400kg - and that there are no turbos to sap response and limit revs - and you start to get the picture here. I concur and I’ll add a Dua Lipa reference to this eclectic yardstick because the 718 Spyder’s attraction is hard to ignore – let’s get physical. In our international drive review of the 2020 Porsche 718 Spyder my colleague Feann Torr referenced IKEA, Mark Webber, Floyd Mayweather, Thor, Captain America, James Dean, Patrick Stewart and used an Angel’s tears analogy to convey the gravitas that comes with driving a vehicle like the 718 Spyder. The best part about the 718 Spyder’s tech interface… it’s simple to use. There are no drive modes to consider, but some other noteworthy buttons: ESC off and ESC+TC off, suspensions modes, exhaust notes, auto throttle blip and spoiler management are your key decision making responsibilities. Rear parking sensors and a reversing camera are very handy, since rear vision is less than average with the cloth soft-top in place. There’s DAB+ digital radio and even a CD player (hello boomers)! Wireless phone charging is great (because charging cables spoil the vibe) and there’s just enough room to place your phone. Using Apple CarPlay with Siri voice recognition caters to most of most people’s media needs. You’ll find a selection of small clearly labelled buttons to compliment a 7.0-inch touch-screen that’s home to infotainment and other in-car information. The Spyder’s centre console draws a fine balance between understated and dated – I can’t decide to which way it leans most. Technology is omnipresent inside the 2020 Porsche 718 Spyder – the obvious (so many buttons) and the not so (safety). The lengthy equipment list also features run-of-the mill inclusions like dual-zone climate control, heated multi-function steering wheel finished in Alcantara, the sport chrono package, six-speaker sound system, satellite-navigation, tyre pressure monitoring, anti-theft wheel bolts, Apple CarPlay and don’t forget to check out the Porsche Track Precision App. The 1420kg aluminium and steel composite bodied roadster rides on 20-inch 718 Spyder-specific wheels wrapped by sticky Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 rubber, while sexy rear buttresses, bigger front air intakes, a larger diffusers and blackened side scoops and badges punctuate the sleek silhouette. Perhaps even more notably, it features a proper GT chassis, pulling components from the Porsche 911 GT3. Like the Porsche 718 Cayman GT4, the 718 Spyder (which isn't called a Boxster) hits the Australian tarmac with a mid-mounted 4.0-litre flat six delivering a wholesome 309kW of power and 420Nm of torque to the rear wheels, exclusively via a six-speed manual gearbox. It’s nitpicking at its finest, for when you ignite the big-bore naturally-aspirated boxer engine, all is forgiven. Not for anything meaningful, just a fully automated roof mechanism. The 2020 Porsche 718 Spyder is priced from $196,800 (plus ORCs) and yet I’m left wanting. ![]() ![]() The employees at the Dayton store worked for about 12 hours that day - for no pay - trying to help customers, Ms. She said the closing left some customers angry, blaming the workers for the situation.

![]() ![]() ![]() Using the infographic guide above, which fonts do you think are suitable for your website?ħ Deadly Sins of Choosing a Font for Your Website 1: Don’t Use Tacky Fonts The font looks professional, and can send off the right subconscious signals to millennials looking for financial advice. It has clean lines with a classic curve design, striking a good balance between new (modern and progressive) and old (trustworthy and responsible). We picked Aller (by Font Squirrel) as a solid font design for this new age financial planning business tailored to millennials. Which fonts would be your top choice to meet these criteria? This gives off a sense of modernism and progressiveness (see the fonts in the right-hand side of the infographic above). Progressive & Modern: You want to choose a font with clean lines, a thinner weight, and more minimalistic design.Responsible & Trustworthy: You want to choose fonts that have a traditional heritage – like Trajan or Times New Roman – that give off a sense of history.So, how do you pick a font design that reflects those characteristics? Instead, you want to project the idea that you can connect with younger, wealthier clients – your ideal target market. You probably want to appear responsible, trustworthy, progressive, and modern, because millennials most likely aren’t looking for old-school financial planners. When they visit your website, what kind of first impression do you want to make? Your ideal client group is millennials with good paying jobs, who are just starting to invest and plan for their futures. It’s always worth checking small details like this! Which weight would look best on your website?Īs an example, the font style Cedarville Cursive is a beautiful handwritten script – but the uppercase “G” may not be to your liking, or you may prefer the traditional ampersand rather than the simple plus icon used.What do the characters look like? For example, are numbers and punctuation easy to read in this font?.What do the uppercase and lowercase letters look like?.4: Put Your Font Through Its Pacesīefore you commit to a font, see how it looks in all its different forms, sizes, and weights (the weight of a font determines how thick or thin the lines are). Always choose an easy to read font for longer copy. Some fonts, such as dense, blocky styles or quirky handwritten designs, can be tricky to read when overused on a webpage – for this reason, they usually work best as heading fonts.
