Aussie grandmother who was locked up for outing a paedophile gets worldwide support: 'She should have a medal draped around her neck for outing the filthy bludger'
A grandmother now has a criminal record after unmasking a child sex offender
Maxine Davey, 59, exposed a convicted paedophile who had moved to her area
Edward James Thomson was jailed for two years on sexual assault and rape
Ray Hadley said Ms Davey deserved a medal, and not a criminal conviction
Ray Hadley said a grandmother who ended up in a police cell for outing a paedophile in her home town deserves a 'medal', and not the criminal conviction she received as her story gains attention around the world.
Maxine Davey, 59, held up signs along a busy stretch of road warning residents child sex predator Edward James Thomson was living in the Central Queensland neighbourhood of Calliope, near Gladstone.
Thomson was sentenced to two years and nine months in jail after being convicted of rape and multiple counts of indecent treatment of children under the age of 16 last year.
But he was released after just 12 months. An appeal against his conviction was dismissed earlier this year.
Ms Davey filmed the outside of his home, where his property and vehicles could be identified and shared the clip to Facebook.

Q: In Origins of the Specious, you say the N-word is derived from Latin. I've read that it comes from the area of Africa called Niger. Slavers changed "Niger" to "nigger" as a form of humiliation.
A: "Nigger" dates back to the 16th century, when a group of words beginning with the letter "n" started showing up in English in reference to Africans or African Americans.
These words included "Negro," "nigro," "niegro," "neger," "neager," "negar," "niger," and "nigger." (Some of these terms were originally capitalized, but only "Negro" is today.)
All of these words, according to the Oxford English Dictionary, are ultimately derived from the classical Latin word for black, niger.
The OED says the N-word was spelled "niger" when it first showed up in the late 1500s, though "it seems likely that the form niger ... is intended to represent the same pronunciation" as "nigger."
The double-g spelling first appeared in the early 1600s, according to the dictionary, but "niger" was "the preferred form up to the end of the 18th cent."
At first, Oxford says, the word "nigger" was used by whites "as a relatively neutral (or occas. positive) term, with no specifically hostile intent."
It didn't become a racial slur until sometime in the first third of the 19th century, according to Nigger: The Strange Career of a Troublesome Word, a 2001 book by the Harvard law professor Randall Kennedy.
The earliest example of "nigger" in the OED (spelled "niger") is from Edward Hellowes's 1574 translation of a collection of Spanish epistles by Antonio de Guevara: "the Nigers of Aethiop, bearing witnesse."
The reference to "the Nigers of Aethiop" here is simply an English translation of the original Spanish, "los negros en Ethiopia."
The OED's first example of the word with a double-g spelling is from a 1608 letter in the factory records of the East India Company: "The King and People [of 'Serro Leona'] Niggers, simple and harmless."
The dictionary says the comments in the letter, while "expressing patronizing views, reflect underlying attitudes rather than a hostile use of the word itself."
Clearly derogatory uses began showing up in the early 1800s. Kennedy cites a comment from the abolitionist Hosea Easton about the negative usage.
In A Treatise on the Intellectual Character and Civil and Political Condition of the Colored People of the United States: And the Prejudice Exercised Towards Them (1837), Easton describes "nigger" as "an opprobrious term, employed to impose contempt upon [blacks] as an inferior race."
Interestingly, the OED says the word "nigger" was initially "used by black people (esp. African Americans) as a neutral or favourable term."
However, this statement is open to argument, since the dictionary's early examples come from white writers describing the speech of African Americans, often in what would now be considered heavy-handed, if not racist, attempts at humor.
As for its etymology, the OED says that "nigger" (and the earlier "niger") is "probably an alteration" of the even earlier "neger," a term for a black person first recorded in writing in 1568.
This word "neger," Oxford says, was adopted from nègre, a word first recorded in Middle French in 1516 as a noun meaning "black person." The French nègre was adopted in turn from the Spanish noun negro. It was this Spanish noun, negro, that gave English the word "Negro."
We can understand why you might think "nigger" comes from the geographic name "Niger," but there doesn't seem to be any documented evidence that would support this.
The area referred to as Niger is named for the River Niger in West Africa, but the origin of the river's name is uncertain.
The ancient Greeks and Romans used similar names in referring to the River Niger, according to A Classical Dictionary: Containing an Account of the Principal Proper Names Mentioned in Ancient Authors, an 1841 reference by Charles Anthon.
Ptolemy, for example, called what appeared to be the River Niger "the Nigeir," while Pliny the Elder called it "the Nigris." Herodotus didn't mention a specific name, but he described what seemed like the same river.
"From all, then, that has been stated," Anthon writes, "it will satisfactorily appear, that the great river of the Libya of Herodotus, the Nigris of Pliny, the Nigeir of Ptolemy, and the Niger of modern geography, are one and the same river."
However, it's uncertain whether those classical names for the Niger, the third-largest river in Africa, were references to the color black or to an African name for the river.
One theory is that the early names referred to the color of the river's water. But unlike the Rio Negro in Brazil, whose water is dramatically dark, the Niger isn't black or blackish, according to online images. (The 18th-century Scottish poet James Thomson wrote of "Niger's yellow stream.")

Orthodox JEWS Are Selling A Ton of Products That You Buy on AMAZON

Yisroel - who asked to be identified by his Hebrew name for reasons of privacy - is a deeply observant Orthodox Jew, one of the many who have turned to third-party sales on Amazon.
The company's third-party sellers make up 58% of all sales on the site.
But there's an estimate passed around third-party Amazon consultants that claims 7% of all Amazon third-party sales originate from a single zip code in Brooklyn, and that Orthodox Jewish-owned businesses make up 15% of marketplace sellers.
Amazon seemed to nod to that in a statement to BuzzFeed News. "Brooklyn is home to many impressive independent retailers selling on Amazon," it said.
*Rabbi Yehoshua Werde:"This is like the Gold Rush in the 1840's"
The prospect of building a business on Amazon has led to a boom across the Orthodox Jewish community in New Jersey and New York. In March, several Lakewood-based Amazon sellers spoke at an event dedicated to selling on Amazon attended by roughly 500 Orthodox Jews.
Ed Rosenberg, who runs a consulting firm and Facebook group for Amazon sellers, holds an annual event in Brooklyn where he told BuzzFeed News roughly 1,000 sellers attend, mainly Orthodox Jews, to learn about new rules, network, and share information. And he's far from the only one.
In July, Rabbi Yehoshua Werde held an event in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, where more than 600 people from the Orthodox community attended to learn about selling online. Werde, who runs a nonprofit called Crown Heights Young Entrepreneurs, told BuzzFeed News that he organized the conference after noticing dozens of young men crowded around an Amazon seller booth at a business talk in 2014, while other tables had maybe 10.
James Thomson, a manager with Amazon Business Services from 2007 to 2013, told BuzzFeed News that he noticed his third-party seller clients were mainly concentrated in only a handful of neighborhoods - Brooklyn; Fair Lawn, New Jersey; and Lakewood, neighborhoods with large concentrations of Orthodox Jews.
"Before I left Amazon, some of my clients were Orthodox Jewish sellers, and I saw incredibly sophisticated entrepreneurs and saw business models that weren't taught in business school," he said. "It became natural that we'd do anything to make sure we worked with them."

Speaking of Amazon, an earlier notable referenced an article that referenced this article that many people missed:
Big Tech War on Small Business
In the next few months, bulk orders will dry up for thousands of mostly smaller suppliers, according to three people familiar with the plan. Amazon's aim is to cut costs and focus wholesale purchasing on major brands like Procter & Gamble, Sony and Lego, the people said. That will ensure the company has adequate supplies of must-have merchandise and help it compete with the likes of Walmart, Target and Best Buy.
The mom-and-pops that have long relied on Amazon for a steady stream of orders will have to learn a new way of doing business on the web store. Rather than selling in bulk directly to Amazon, they'll need to win sales one shopper at a time. It's one of the biggest shifts in Amazon's e-commerce strategy since it opened the site to independent sellers almost 20 years ago. While the plan could be changed or cancelled, it's currently moving forward, the people said.
"This is the kind of change that will scare the living daylights out of brands selling on Amazon," said James Thomson, who organizes the Prosper Show, an annual e-commerce conference focused on Amazon. "Amazon usually doesn't give a lot of lead time and brands will be left scrambling. If they make this change soon, brands will have until the end of the summer to get their acts together or their holiday quarter will be at risk."

In Huge Strategy Shift, Amazon Set To Purge Many Small Suppliers
Amazon is set to purge many of its small suppliers over the next few months, according to Bloomberg. The purge could shatter the generally favorable relationship between Amazon and many of its long-time vendors, as we first discussed last month when we reported that Amazon was accused of "crushing" its merchants by undercutting products with its own. The move is supposed to help cut costs and focus wholesale purchasing on large brands like Procter & Gamble, Sony and Lego. Amazon wants to ensure that the company has adequate supplies of "must-have" merchandise that will help it compete with companies like Target and Walmart. As a result, bulk orders for thousands of smaller suppliers may dry up over the next few months. It also means that many smaller retailers that have relied on Amazon for a steady stream of orders will have to win sales one shopper at a time on the platform's marketplace. This marks one of the large shifts in Amazon strategy since it opened the site up to independent sellers nearly 2 decades ago.
James Thomson, who organizes the Prosper Show, an annual e-commerce conference focused on Amazon said that "this is the kind of change that will scare the living daylights out of brands selling on Amazon. Amazon usually doesn't give a lot of lead time and brands will be left scrambling. If they make this change soon, brands will have until the end of the summer to get their acts together or their holiday quarter will be at risk." Amazon stated: "We review our selling partner relationships on an individual basis as part of our normal course of business, and any speculation of a large scale reduction of vendors is incorrect." Amazon traditionally secures inventory in two ways: it buys items directly from wholesale vendors and resells them, and it allows independent merchants to post their own products on site, similar to a consignment model. About half the goods sold on the site come from independent merchants and the change will push the company's marketplace share of revenue even higher.
It's one of the latest moves in Amazon's "hands off the wheel" initiative, which is supposed to help it continue expanding product selection without spending more to oversee it. The initiative includes other automated tasks that were previously done by human employees, like forecasting demand and negotiating prices. It also involves pushing more Amazon suppliers to sell goods on their own so that Amazon doesn't have to pay people to do it for them. An additional upside for Amazon is that the company holds less inventory, reducing the risk that it gets stuck with unsold merchandise. Instead, Amazon can collect a commission on each sale a vendor makes and charge them fees to store, pack and deliver their goods. Vendors that sell less than $10 million per year will no longer get wholesale orders from Amazon, although the purge will vary by category. Amazon also didn't renegotiate its annual terms with many smaller vendors - a move that telegraphs that a supplier shakeout is continuing. The company also isn't filling many vacant vendor manager positions, according to an anonymous source, indicating that the company will expect to need fewer people to handle supplier relationships in the future.
