Scott, Hartley, James and five other guards who appear in the photo have been temporarily stood down, their actions potentially in contravention of the social media guidelines set by centre operator Transfield.

All men are employed by Wilson Security, who are subcontracted by Transfield to work at the Nauru centre.

Meet "Hillary": The Clinton Campaign Kicks Off Small

0
0

No more Madam Secretary. In Iowa, a lot of thought goes into the smallest of details to project her new platform — “champion” for everyday people.

Charlie Neibergall / AP

MONTICELLO, Iowa — For the purposes of the presidential campaign that began in earnest here on Tuesday with a small roundtable discussion, billed as a conversation "with everyday Iowans," there is no Madam Secretary. There is no senator, no first lady. There is no Mrs. Clinton. Her only title is "Hillary."

In campaign press releases and her website — and on a call with senior officials on Monday to prepare for this trip to Iowa, the first of her presidential campaign — the candidate is referred to most often by first name only.

Former secretaries of state, according to protocol, don't technically retain their titles when they retire. They become "Mr." or "Mrs." — or in Clinton's case, "senator," the title she went by during her first run for president in 2008. A campaign aide explained the new shift in simple terms: Most Americans know her as Hillary.

But the decision to cast Clinton, whose two decades in national politics have lent her the stature of a celebrity and stateswoman, as simply "Hillary" is part of a conscious, strategic effort to give this campaign a more accessible, low-key, and voter-focused feeling than her last — with an emphasis on the early-voting state where her campaign faltered seven years ago.

"I'm here in Iowa to begin a conversation," Clinton said. "And to hear from people about what's on your minds — what the challenges that you see are."

The setup on Tuesday was simple and small in scale: At Kirkwood Community College, in an automotive tech lab that could have doubled as a body shop, three tables were arranged in the shape of an open rectangle. Two sedans, a black Toyota and silver Ford, sat on either side, with a pink workman's rag draped over each open hood. About 15 students and teachers made up the audience.

Still, behind a yellow rope, a horde of reporters and a line of television cameras waited. Outside, when Clinton's black boxy GMC van rolled into the entrance past a pair of silos, reporters started to chase it, running down the campus lawn.

Fifteen minutes later, after a brief tour of Kirkwood's advanced manufacturing lab, she arrived. The cameras flashed wildly. Clinton walked straight to the hands of the seven roundtable participants, a mix of students and administrators.

"First, I want to thank you for having me here," she said. "And a few of my friends."

Despite the scene at the small community college, the hour-long roundtable remained, essentially, a genuine give-and-take between eight people. Clinton led the conversation, mostly posing questions to the participants.

In brief introductory remarks, Clinton also outlined four pillars of her campaign: to build the "economy of tomorrow, not yesterday"; to strengthen "families and communities"; to fix "our dysfunctional political system"; and to protect the country "from the threats that we see and the ones on the horizon," she said.

The specifics were less defined, with a handful of exceptions.

Clinton said she supported President Obama's free community college proposal, and voiced support for the education standards known as Common Core.

Expanding on her third point, Clinton said she would support a constitutional amendment to "get unaccountable money out of [politics] once and for all."

Later on Tuesday afternoon, at an unscheduled stop in Mount Vernon, reporters from the Washington Post asked Clinton about campaign finance reform in relation to Priorities USA, the high-dollar super PAC supporting her candidacy.

Clinton, according to the Post, shrugged her shoulders and said, "I don't know."

Clinton announced her campaign on Sunday with a video that projected, with every stylistic detail, that she will not be running with her old "in it to win it" mantra.

The video focused largely on the stories of voters, some of whom were from Iowa, and little else by way of details about Clinton's platform. The candidate herself did not appear on screen until about a minute and a half — another detail meant to signal that, as one senior campaign official told reporters on Monday, the campaign "isn't about her" and "isn't about us."

"You're going to see Hillary interact in much smaller settings than people might expect," the campaign aide said. "This is about Iowans. Everyday Iowans. Their hopes, their dreams, and what they want in the future."

After the launch on Sunday, Clinton headed to Iowa. But instead of chartering a private plane — as she frequently does when traveling — she and two aides, along with Secret Service, drove more than 1,000 miles from Chappaqua, New York, in the Clintons' armored GMC Suburban.

Clinton is scheduled to host another roundtable on Wednesday just outside Des Moines. She and her aides plan to fly commercial back home, an aide said.

Clinton is expected to continue her travel, possibly to New Hampshire, next week.

It is not clear how much more specific Clinton will be, at this early stage in the campaign, about her policy plans — or her message to middle-class voters. On Tuesday, Clinton tied the small-ball approach to the rationale for her candidacy, hanging her campaign on the idea that everyday people "need a champion."

"Believe me, I know that it's not going to be easy," Clinton said. "But I just felt like I couldn't walk away from what I see as the challenges we face."

One of the roundtable participants, Jason McLaughlin, said he didn't have a sense of Clinton's platform. "I don't yet. I'm going to hopefully find out," said McLaughlin, a 40-year-old registered independent who is the principal of nearby Central City High School and supported Obama over Clinton in 2008.

But McLaughlin did noticed a shift in Clinton's style.

"She changed her campaign," he said, noting the road trip, "rather than the 'Hill-A-Copter'" — a chartered aircraft she flew around the state in 2008.

The president of Kirkwood Community College, Mike Starcevich — also on the roundtable — praised Clinton afterward for "purposefully started small." But he also said it was clear "she's still trying to build what she's trying to sell."

On her way out of the event, Clinton told reporters she had a "great drive across the country."

Asked again to explain why she was running for president, Clinton repeated her lines from before: Americans needed a champion.

"I'll be rolling out very specific policies over the weeks and months ahead," she said, heading out the door.

"More to come, everybody!"

Pay what you’re paid. In Pittsburgh, that’s 76% of a man’s salary.

"I'd been seeing the 78% statistic everywhere," Schlenker told BuzzFeed News, referring to the amount of money the average woman makes compared to a man according to the US Census Bureau. "I know a lot of women don't feel appreciated or as valued as they should in the workplace, and I thought there was something I could do to help a little."

Which Housewife Won "Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills" This Season?

0
0

Three BuzzFeed superfans weigh in on which housewife came out on top.

LOUIS' WINNER: Kyle Richards

LOUIS' WINNER: Kyle Richards

Yes, really. Before this season, Kyle has always been too wishy-washy to dominate: Her refusal to pick a side ended up making her look two-faced. But when the drama was focused solely on Kyle and Kim — two sisters who have battled it out to varying degrees of hysteria since the series began — Kyle was easily able to emerge on top. And that's thanks to a major assist from Kim, who fell under Brandi's vampiric thrall and emerged as a nasty, mean-spirited Renfield, eager to throw vague accusations at everyone and subtly disinvite Kyle to Kim's daughter's wedding. Basically, thanks to Kim's descent into pure villainy, Kyle has never looked better. But Kyle also stood her own, refused to let Kim's cruelty go unchecked, and called Brandi on her relentless stream of bullshit. This season couldn't have been easy for Kyle, but she handled it like a pro.

LOUIS' MOST IMPROVED: Lisa Vanderpump

LOUIS' MOST IMPROVED: Lisa Vanderpump

Personally, I've always been a fan of Lisa's distinctly above-it-all persona, and her ability to maintain a certain level of class no matter what was being flung at her. That's why watching her crumble last season (following an orchestrated attack against her) was so unpleasant to watch. In her tagline this season, Lisa promised, "Throw me to the wolves, and I shall return leading the pack." And dammit, she did! Reconnecting with Kyle, who's at her most sympathetic, was a smart move. Like Eileen, Lisa was a perpetual voice of reason, but she also managed to mostly stay out of it. When she did finally lay into Brandi at the reunion, it felt like she'd been waiting all season to strike. And she never even broke a sweat.

IRA'S WINNER: Eileen Davidson

IRA'S WINNER: Eileen Davidson

The moment Eileen Davidson leaned across that table at Kim and spoke in her best soap opera tone: "Beast? How DARE you!" my heart melted. I was expecting Kristen DiMera and Ashley Abbott to rear their heads on the show. Maybe Eileen would be overly dramatic and villainous in real life, I thought. But what I actually got was a respectful, levelheaded, and hilarious woman who invited us into her home and still managed to throw down with these crazy heffas with some class and grace. She was the only one who was making sense during the reunion, calling Kim out on her double standards and telling Brandi she needed help. She was also a great friend to Lisa Rinna, who needed one with the roller coaster of emotions she went through all season. I can now add RHOBH to Eileen Davidson's long list of flawless roles.

IRA'S MOST IMPROVED: Kyle Richards

IRA'S MOST IMPROVED: Kyle Richards

I am the last person on earth to be a Kyle Richards fan. I mean, during the reunion, I wanted to pull out a classic Teresa Giudice line and shout, "You're the devil. You're wearing red!" But thank god for Flotsam and Jetsam (Kim and Brandi) this season, because they performed the insurmountable task of making Kyle likable. I still find her oblivious and petty, but how could you not feel for someone with a monster like Kim — a woman who keeps bringing up the past to hurt her, would reference other people who are "better" than her, and claims to not have had a relapse even though we saw it happen on camera — raging against her? Kyle finally stopped taking Kim's shit and came into her own as a person. This season was dark AF — hopefully we can get back to the self-centered Kyle of previous seasons, and maybe she'll be someone I love to hate instead of just hate.
