Australia clearing out Aboriginal communities to make way for mining
Ghillar Michael Anderson, leader of the Euahlayi people and ambassador of the Aboriginal Tent Embassy in Canberra, wrote an open letter to the United Nations on March 3, in which he states that the proposed closures of remote communities are to open up the land for mining.
"For the Western Australian government to now dispossess and displace the peoples of these homelands is designed to facilitate an expeditious expansion of mining interests and other developments," he wrote.
The announcement of the closures coincides with the introduction of the Aboriginal Heritage Amendment Bill by the Barnett government last November. The bill, which is about to be debated in state parliament, proposes changes to the Aboriginal Heritage Act 1972. These simplify the process of gaining permission to develop Aboriginal sites, as the chief executive of the DAA will have sole discretion over whether to deem heritage protection. This would continue a DAA trend over recent years of site assessment which is beneficial to industry.
Are Mining Interests Behind Western Australian Remote Aboriginal Community Closures?http://www.vice.com/en_au/read/are-mining-interests-behind-western-australian-remote-aboriginal-community-closures March 20, 2015 by Paul Gregoir Yesterday, 18,000 people turned out at rallies across Australia in protest of the Western Australian government's proposal to close up to 150 remote Aboriginal communities.
The move will see municipal and essential services provided by the government cut. Premier Colin Barnett announced the closures in November last year, claiming many of these communities are economically unviable. Continue reading
Manitoba First Nation leader criticised – accepted money from the Nuclear Waste Management Organization
Harper, who is head of the Manitoba Keewatinowi Okimakanak (MKO), recently signed a $312,689 agreement with the NWMO. Harper told CBC the money is going toward educating his citizens about the risks involved with nuclear waste, and was not accepted in an agreement to store it.
"As a matter of fact there is legislation that was put in place in 1987 that there will be no nuclear waste in Manitoba," Harper said.
But a group of chiefs from the Swampy Cree Tribal Council (SCTC) — which is politically aligned with MKO — said just signing the agreement contravenes a 2014 moratorium against the storing of nuclear waste in Manitoba.
In a March 11, 2015 press release, the Swampy Cree chiefs said they've "lost all faith in MKO Grand Chief David Harper. His signing of this deal with NWMO without our knowledge or consent is a major breach of trust."
Those chiefs say they're pulling out of MKO until the grand chief has been removed from office — something Harper refuses to do.
"I'm doing my job to protect First Nations," said Harper.
Since 2000, the NWMO has been trying to find sites to store radioactive waste produced by nuclear electricity plants in Ontario, Quebec and New Brunswick. They want to store the nuclear waste deep under the ground, in the rock of the Canadian Shield.
The NWMO recently ruled out Creighton, Sask. as a potential host site.
Uranium Workers Day highlights health and environmental harm done by uranium mining
"The Pueblo felt so strongly about the issues surrounding uranium mining that it issued its own Resolution in 2008 declaring a moratorium on any further uranium mining activities on Pueblo lands from that day forward," emphasized Laguna Governor Siow.
"Why should we be talking about opening new mines when we have more than 500 abandoned mines?" questioned one Native American man. "New Mexico needs to go with renewable energy; it's about time we start doing that."

PROCLAMATION AND LEGISLATION By Rosanne Boyett 27 Feb 15
CIBOLA COUNTY – "We can't plant cornfields anymore because the water is contaminated on our homestead, which has been in the family for four generations," said one Native American woman. "We used to plant one of the largest cornfields in the area."
She addressed an audience of more than 200 people who participated in the Feb. 20 "Uranium Workers Day" at the Rotunda in Santa Fe and urged people to contact legislators about their concerns.
Another area suffering from contamination is the Pueblo of Laguna, which was once the site of the largest open pit uranium mine in the world. Residents "know first-hand the challenges associated with uranium mining and its aftermath, especially when it comes to the severe impacts it has had on the health and welfare of our community members and the environmental impacts is has had on our lands," wrote Virgil A. Siow, Pueblo of Laguna governor, in a letter supporting MASE in its activities to raise awareness about mining issues. Continue reading
The battle by Indigenous Canadians against the uranium industry
the National Academies of Sciences have found conclusively that any exposure to ionizing radiation will increase the risks of developing cancer.
Calls for baseline and epidemiological health studies on the impacts of uranium mining and milling on nearby communities have gone unanswered by both government and industry since the 1970s.
Indigenous Canadians Are Fighting the Uranium Mining Industry, VICE February 11, 2015 by Michael Toledano On November 22, 2014, a small group of Dene trappers called the Northern Trappers Alliance set up a checkpoint on Saskatchewan's Highway 955, allowing locals to pass while blockading the industrial traffic of tar sands and uranium exploration companies. On December 1, officers of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police descended on the site with an injunction from the province and forcibly dismantled the blockade.
Eighty days later, the trappers remain camped on the side of the highway in weather that has routinely dipped below -40 C. They are constructing a permanent cabin on the site that will be a meeting place for Dene people and northern land defenders.
"We want industry to get the hell out of here and stop this killing," said Don Montgrand, who has been at the encampment since day one and was named as one of its leaders on the police injunction. "We want this industry to get the hell out before we lose any more people here. We lose kids, adults, teenagers."
"They're willing to stay as long as it takes to get the point across that any of this kind of development is not going to be welcomed," said Candyce Paul, the alliance's spokesperson and a member of the anti-nuclear Committee for the Future Generations. "It's indefinite."
"We don't want to become a sacrifice zone. That's where we see ourselves heading."
The trappers say an unprecedented rise in cancer is the legacy of contamination from nearby uranium mines. With significant tar sands and uranium deposits in their area, the trappers are developing a long-term strategy to halt the industrial growth threatening to deform their surroundings and scare away the wildlife they depend on for food, income, and culture.
About an hour north of the alliance's location, a recent discovery by Fission Uranium Corp. could lead to the development of one of the world's largest high-grade uranium mines.
Further north, abandoned and decommissioned uranium mines already host millions of tons of radioactive dust (also known as tailings) that must be isolated from the surrounding environment for millennia, while no cleanup plans exist for the legacy of severe and widespread watershed contamination that is synonymous with Uranium City, Saskatchewan. To the east, "an integrated uranium corridor spreading over 250 kilometers" hosts the largest high-grade uranium mines and mills in the world, with their own stockpiles of radioactive tailings and a decades-long history of radioactive spills…….
The province is looking to indigenous lands in the north for new bitumen and mineral mines, a high-level nuclear waste dump site, and the construction of nuclear reactors to encourage "environmentally responsible" tar sands extraction by exporting energy to Alberta.
"We know the government really doesn't care about the northern people. They would rather see us move out of our region," Continue reading
Navajo community – a case study on deadly effects of uranium mining
The studies have found considerably increased rates of death by lung cancer and other lung or related diseases
"Navajo is a non-smoking population. That's why the Navajo underground miners were such an important sub-unit of the cohort," Shuey said. "The Navajo cohort debunks the whole notion that the uranium miners' lung cancer relates to smoking."
Radon's Deadly Connection With Uranium Mining As Seen From Navajo Nation, Indian Country, Konnie LeMay 2/2/15 Where you live may increasingly become as important as how you live in determining your health as we continue to recognize how environmental factors affect our lives and may hasten our deaths.
"No longer can we just kind of sit back and say those are all just lifestyle (influences) … just stop eating frybread and throw some vegetables in there," said Chris Shuey, director of the Uranium Impact Assessment Program for theSouthwest Research and Information Center.
For more than three decades, Shuey has tracked the environmental influences on long-term health for the Navajo people linked to the region's past uranium mining. He foresees growing acknowledgment of how human-caused environmental changes and naturally occurring threats may affect our health. Continue reading
In the interests of uranium mining, Australia's Aborigines moved off their remote homelands
Waging a war over land rights MEENA MENON , THE HINDU,January 19, 2015 'Protests are continuing in various parts of Australia over mining'
In her book of poems, Love Dreaming, aboriginal writer Ali Cobby Eckermann from Australia writes, "Every grain of sand in this big red country is a pore on the skin of my family." Her writing and her new book, Too Afraid to Cry reflect the alienation of the 'Stolen generation' of children who were selectively taken away from their families and raised by white people and also the plight of her people who are waging a war over land rights.
Thousands of people from indigenous communities plan to hold massive protests over land issues on Australia Day on January 26, she says. Protests are continuing in various parts of Australia over mining uranium and minerals and even Kakadu National Park, on the UNESCO World Heritage Site is under threat.
In New Delhi to deliver the annual Navayana lecture, she told The Hindu in an interview that a serious lack of understanding between cultures persists in Australia at a political level and with mining it has expanded. "We worry for our children. Now the Western Australian government wants to use bulldozers and close 150 or 180 small aboriginal communities — they say it is not sustainable to keep these communities going. Where do these people go? They can wander to the city to become a makeshift community under tarpaulin as they are not going to rehouse them," she says.
The sudden move, she suspects, is to do with mining and removing people from the area so that even that little bit of resistance is gone. That's the scary part but the aboriginal people will survive. It's all about land, the war is over land, she says and no one really articulates it like that. "Why would they want these remote areas which are mineral rich to be emptied of people. Western Australia is among the richest mining areas but why is not the government saying some percentage of that mining rights should go to the community. That doesn't happen, the miners don't pay tax and we watch the money fly away," she points out.
Referring to the civil nuclear deal between India and Australia, she said, "Please consider when you support nuclear energy in India what happens to our culture. There will be a slow erosion of human rights but we will fight for the right of our children to have rights of lands."
The government has given approvals for uranium mines in western Australia. Hailing from South Australia, she said this was a place of ancient knowledge. "In aboriginal culture we do not own the land, we belong to the land and the land does not belong to us, the land is our heart, "she says.
The struggle for land in the mid 70s when people drove to Adelaide and demanded their land back had resulted in some rights being restored. There was a strong law in place on mining but unknown to many communities the government in 2008 has sneaked in amendments which do not provide for negotiations as in the past. "So if a community agrees to exploration it has virtually given away the right to mining as well," Ms. Eckermann adds.
In Northern Territory some ten years ago the government had proposed nuclear waste storage sites but a group of women pensioners living in old age homes got together with support from Friends of the Earth and fought the government and managed to convince them that this was not a good idea. Ms Eckermann who has learnt a lot from what she calls the "struggle of my grandmothers", says the women essentially told the government from a cultural perspective their aversion to the nuclear waste dump on their lands and part of that was because they were young girls when the Maralinga atomic testing took place by the British in the 1950s. Many had lost their family in the nuclear fallout and for these women, it was an environmental war- and a cultural war and they were so dignified in their protest, she says."I don't know how they did it. They said never raise your voice except to sing traditional songs and they told the government to "get your ears out of your pockets." It was a such a grass roots victory and there was no more room for lying and deceit. This was a jury of traditional women, against younger white men and the women won," she grins.
Thousands of people from indigenous communities plan to hold massive protests over land issues on Australia Day on January 26 which many also call Invasion day for that's when Captain Cook arrived on the country's shores. ……..
"Land is like my family, that rock is like my grandfather and that sand dune is my mother. We have our ways and they can be customised to modern life but the core wisdom won't change. We have to stop the intergenerational social impacts but every time the government meets us they have no concept of land or the people. And then we are called ungrateful, "she concludes. http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/waging-a-war-over-land-rights/article6800001.ec
United against uranium mining: Aboriginal people of Quebec at Montreal hearings
The Aboriginal peoples of Quebec stand together against uranium at the final hearings of the BAPE in Montreal theturtleislandnews.com/daily/mailer_stories/dec162014/The-Aboriginal-peoples-of-Quebec-stand-together-against-uranium-at-the-final-hearings-of-the-BAPE-in-Montreal-pr1121614.html MONTREAL, Dec. 15, 2014 – At the final public hearings of the Bureau d'audiences publiques sur l'environnement (BAPE) on the uranium industry in Quebec, to be held today in Montreal, the James Bay Cree Nation will deliver a resounding and united message of opposition to uranium development in their territory, Eeyou Istchee. The Cree Nation, which has led the charge against uranium development, has been joined in this position by the Assembly of First Nations of Quebec and Labrador and the Inuit of northern Quebec, who will also make presentations to the BAPE today.
"A powerful message has been sent by all of the Aboriginal peoples of Quebec. Together, we have said NO to uranium," said Matthew Coon Come, the Grand Chief of the James Bay Cree Nation. "Today, we show that the Cree Nation speaks in one voice – united with the other Aboriginal peoples of Quebec – when we insist that our lands remain free of uranium mining and uranium waste."
The Cree Nation Youth Council's StandAgainstUranium march, which began in Mistissini on November 23, arrived in Montreal today to attend the BAPE hearings. The marchers have travelled on foot over 850 km in 23 days, to share the Cree Nation's message and to encourage other Quebeckers to stand with them against uranium development. Overwhelmingly, those they met along the way have agreed that uranium mining should be banned in Quebec.
Youth Grand Chief Joshua Iserhoff has led the StandAgainstUranium march and will be making submissions to the BAPE on behalf of the Youth Council. "One of our community's favourite fishing spots, Gobanji, is on Mistissini Lake, downstream from Strateco's Matoush project. My grandma's goose camp is there too," reflected Youth Chief Iserhoff. "I've had lots of time on this walk to think about how important this land is to me, my family and our entire community. I will be telling the Commissioners, on behalf of Cree Youth, that uranium mining, and the radioactive and hazardous waste it will leave behind, are not welcome in Eeyou Istchee."
"The courage and resolution shown by the StandAgainstUranium marchers over the last few weeks speaks in a powerful way to the determination of our people to protect Eeyou Istchee from the risks of uranium mining and uranium waste, today and for future generations. We give our thanks to the First Nations who offered support and encouragement along the way," noted Grand Chief Coon Come. "We have been gratified to see that as they learn the facts about uranium, Quebeckers are joining with us in our stand."
The BAPE's final hearings will be held in the Salle Ovation at the Hyatt Regency Montreal, at 1pm and 7pm. The evening sessions will be co-chaired by the BAPE Commission, the James Bay Advisory Committee on the Environment and the Kativik Environmental Advisory Committee.

Cree anti uranium marchers reach Montreal in time to take part in hearings
Cree march against uranium arrives in Montreal in time for hearings ROBERTO ROCHA, MONTREAL GAZETTE December 15, 2014 Three weeks after they left Mistissini on foot to protest against uranium mining in northern Quebec, a group of 20 Cree youths arrived in Montreal Monday.
The group braved blizzards and temperatures as low as minus-28 C as they marched 850 kilometres across the province to take part in environmental hearings on uranium mining.
They fear the waste from mining would contaminate the land and water of Cree communities and encroach on trap lines, and want a ban on uranium exploration.
A hearing by the Bureau d'audiences publiques sur l'environnement (BAPE) on uranium mining wrapped up on Monday, with a final report expected next May.
"The potential risks associated with uranium mining, which leaves behind thousands of years of radioactive material, that's what concerns our people," Chief Richard Shecapio of Mistissini told reporters shortly before the hearings began.
The Cree Nation Youth Council argues that uranium mining would affect tourism, as the region is a popular getaway for fishers………
There's a moratorium on uranium exploration in Quebec, imposed last year by the previous Parti Québécois government. Before that time, the only uranium project seeking an exploration permit was Strateco Resources Inc.'s Matoush site in the Otish mountains, about 275 kilometres north of Chibougamau.
Yves-François Blanchet, the environment minister at the time, said no permits would be issued for the exploration or mining of uranium until an independent study on the mineral's social acceptability and environmental impacts had been completed.
Last week, Strateco Resources filed a $190-million lawsuit against the Quebec government for blocking its project after years of ground work.

Marathon walk by Cree youth to stop uranium mining in Quebec
Cree Youth Walk 850 km To Protest Against Uranium Mining In Quebec, Huff Post. CBC 14 Dec 14 About 20 young Cree people have walked nearly 850 kilometres to Montreal's South Shore from their village in northern Quebec, protesting against uranium exploration in the province.
The youth left Mistissini, Que., northeast of Chibougamau in the James Bay region three weeks ago. On the way, they stopped in Quebec City to share their message. They arrived in Longueuil, just across the bridge from Montreal, Saturday.
Their final destination is downtown Montreal, where they will deliver that message to the province's environmental protection agency, known as the BAPE, when it holds the last of a series of public hearings on uranium exploration tomorrow.
The Cree young people have endured frigid temperatures and wintry conditions, walking an average of a marathon a day. "We've lost a couple of toenails on this journey," said Joshua Iserhoff, chair of the Cree Nation Youth Council.
But according to Iserhoff, it's been worth it.
He said uranium exploration near his community could cause irreparable damage to the watershed………
Now the province is holding public hearings on uranium mining. http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/2014/12/14/cree-uranium-mining-protest_n_6322934.html
NO to uranium mining. Quebec's Nunavik Inuit stand firm
Makivik President Jobie Tukkiapik says the consensus is clear: Nunavik Inuit fears for radioactive contamination of the land trump any economic windfall they might reap from uranium mining.
"Uranium is a controversial topic, and must be considered separately from conventional mining activities exploiting other minerals in Nunavik," Tukkiapik says.
Makivik Corporation, the land claims organization, teamed up with the Kativik Regional Government in stating their case to Quebec's environmental consultation office.
The land claims organization made the announcement following three years of consultations throughout Nunavik's 14 communities. They also did consultations in Montreal and some neighbouring Cree villages. KRG chair Maggie Emudluk says the key concern is the health of country food.
Inuit rely on hunting wildlife for sustenance, and Emudluk says the impact of radioactive material getting into the food chain could be deadly.
"The psychological effects cannot be underestimated," she says. "People are afraid of uranium in general, but when a population is so dependent on locally sourced food, the fear and uncertainty escalate."
It remains to be seen whether the declaration is legally enforceable under Quebec law
Determined campaign by Northern Quebec Cree against uranium mining and exploration
Northern Quebec Cree start 850 km trek to protest against uranium mining By Caroline Nepton, CBC News Nov 21, 2014 "……this weekend Iserhoff, who is the chair of the Cree Nation Youth Council, will join a group of Crees walking to Montreal to hand deliver a message to the province's environmental protection agency's (BAPE) commission on the uranium industry in Quebec.
The group has a message for BAPE: There will be no uranium exploration and exploitation on the Cree territory of Eeyou Istchee.
"We are the stewards of the land, therefore we have this responsibility to protect for the generations to come," Iserhoff said.
The walkers will be leaving Mistissini this Sunday to travel over 850 kilometers to reach Montreal by Dec. 15, the last day of the BAPE's public hearings on the uranium industry in Quebec.
They want other nations and other Quebecers to join the walk. "Innu's are coming, Algonquins are coming and maybe Atikamekw," Iserhoff said. 'The Crees are only one voice and so we are seeking allies.'- Matthew Coon Come, grand chief of Cree Grand Council
The trek is one of the many strategies used by the Crees to protest against uranium mining in their territory.
The Cree Nation government firmly opposes all uranium exploration, mining and waste storage in Eeyou Istchee, Cree territory in northern Quebec. A couple of weeks ago the Cree government launched a website and a social campaign: #StandAgainstUranium. They are still asking people to take selfies with the Stand Against Uranium sign.
The government also sponsored The Wolverine: The Fight of the James Bay Cree, which was presented at the Uranium Festival in Germany last September.
"The Crees are only one voice and so we are seeking allies," saidMatthew Coon Come, the grand chief of the Cree Grand Council.
One of the most advanced uranium projects in the province is the Strateco Resource Matoush project in Otish Mountain, north ofMistissini.
In 2013, Quebec became the third Canadian province, after Nova Scotia and British Columbia, to establish a moratorium on uranium development. In light of that moratorium, Quebec's environment minister refused to grant Strateco the permits it had requested to go ahead with the project. http://www.cbc.ca/news/aboriginal/northern-quebec-cree-start-850-km-trek-to-protest-against-uranium-mining-1.2844050
Black and white Australians join to document the health effects of Maralinga atomic bomb testing
http://www.pozible.com/project/187985 The story of the project At the ANFA (Australia
Nuclear Free Alliance) meeting in Oct 2014 Indigenous Elders called for documentation of the health effects from the Maralinga and other atomic bomb tests in the 1950's and 1960's. See https://ausnukefreealliance.wordpress.com for the meeting statement.
Permission was never sort from the Aboriginal nations.
"Just remember that the fallout at Maralinga affected the whole lot of us. Black, white, brindle; we all breathe the same air, and we're all being affected in various ways, even though that happened a long time ago. It's still around." Sue Coleman-Haseldine (Kokatha Mula – Ceduna)
From 1952 to 1963 atomic testing covered vast areas of South Australia including Maralinga and Emu Fields test sites.
In November 2014 there will be a 3 week road trip to archive the stories of the people from Arabuna, Walitina, Ceduna, and Yalata country to produce film, audio and digital documentaries. We will begin a data base of the families affected, the geographical distributions of fall out and detrimental health repercussions of these unconsented tests.
Nuclear weapons are the most destructive, inhumane and indiscriminate weapons ever created. Both in the scale of the devastation they cause, and in their uniquely persistent, spreading, genetically damaging radioactive fallout, they are unlike any other weapons.
For more information on nuclear weapons, including an article on Yami Lester, one of the survivors of the nuclear tests in South Australia, see http://www.icanw.org/au/
Many Aboriginal people in South Australia still rely on bush foods – plants and animals sourced from land that still is contaminated. The possibility of bioaccumulation is very real. Certainly the stories of early death from cancer, thyroid disease and congenital deformities are continuing.
"I've lost a lot of my family members through early death – and a lot of it was through cancer, and I do blame the Maralinga fallout."

Australia's Prime Minister Abbott illiterate on both climate and Aboriginal health
Tony Abbott's ambition to become the "Prime Minister for Aboriginal affairs" doesn't align with his position on climate change, with First Nations communities the most vulnerable to the disastrous effects of global warming, according to a young Bundjalung environment warrior.
Abbott drew condemnation last week after he dodged a United Nations climate change summit attended by 120 world leaders, including US President Barack Obama. Abbott jetted into New York a day later to attend UN Security Council talks on the situation in Iraq and Syria, and Western responses to militant Sunni group the Islamic State.
In a speech to the UN General Assembly, Abbott fudged on the threat to the world posed by climate change, instead elevating the "murderous rage" of the Islamic State, the "Russian aggression" in Ukraine, the Ebola crisis in West Africa and the situation of the world's economies above it.
It came in the same week President Obama labelled climate change a greater threat to the world than terror and pointed the finger at Abbott and other heads of state absent at the talks, pointedly noting "no-one gets a pass".
Abbott also came under fire earlier this year for taking climate change off the agenda at key G20 talks in Brisbane in November, despite the issue being on the agenda of the past three G20 meetings, which bring together the heads of the world's 20 leading economies.
While Abbott claims to be a champion of Aboriginal rights, 20-year-old Bundjalung climate change activist Amelia Telford says the Abbott government needs to understand the situation facing First Nations communities, many of whom will be most adversely impacted by the effects of climate change.
"Abbott hasn't connected the dots," Ms Telford told New Matilda.
"The government is taking us backwards compared with the rest of the world. We are living in a country where Indigenous people have barely contributed to what is causing climate change….
"(But) the most vulnerable communities within Australia – Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities – are going to be impacted more than any other community and we need our government to recognise that.
"We aren't seeing that leadership and so there is an opportunity to stand up for ourselves and begin a movement lead by our people."
Ms Telford was speaking ahead of a historic summit organised by the Australian Youth Climate Coalition, which will bring together 50 young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander youth from around the country to talk about climate change. Dubbed the 'Seed summit', it will kick off in Melbourne this weekend.
While Aboriginal youth have largely been voiceless in climate change talks and activism, Ms Telford says it is critical our young people are at the forefront. She says it's been hard to raise awareness because of the dire social issues afflicting First Nations youth, and the influence of the fossil fuels industry within First Nations communities.
"We know that Indigenous people across Australia have been looking after our lands for tens of thousands of years and it gives us hope that we can do it again. But there are so many structural issues within our communities so it's hard for young people to prioritise it.
"… There are more and more of us coming out and talking about climate change, sustainability and caring for country but there are so many things competing for our attention.
"It can be a tricky issue because of the fossil fuel industry and the massive impact and stress of that on our land and culture for decades."
It becomes hard to advocate for solutions to climate change if you are forced to rely on the mining industry, Ms Telford says.
But she says rather than just targeting government, the Seed summit also hopes to put a declaration to the four leading banks asking them not to invest in coal ports on the Great Barrier Reef.
"We need to get climate change on the agenda of our politicians, but it also involves engaging with business leaders, rather than specifically government," Ms Telford says.
"… We are calling on the CEOs of the four big Australian banks which are considering whether to fund coal ports on the reef. In this time in politics, where we are not seeing leadership from governments, we have to find ways to counteract that and figure out how we can make a difference."
Ms Telford says she was surprised at the number of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander youth who wanted to get involved in climate change advocacy. The summit received 30 applications within a week of opening registrations.
"The young people are the ones with the most at stake," Ms Telford says.
"Indigenous youth have to be at that forefront and the great thing is we are backed by thousands of young people all across the country.
"Knowing we are a part of that movement is pretty great."
First Nations Quebec-Labrador (AFNQL) reaffirm their opposition to uranium mining on their land
Quebec and Labrador First Nations draw the line against uranium By: Henry Lazenby 27 Sep 2014 TORONTO (miningweekly.com) – At a workshop on uranium development hosted by the Assembly of First Nations Quebec-Labrador (AFNQL) on Friday, First Nations from across the region reaffirmed their opposition to uranium development on their territories and throughout Quebec.
In March 2013, the AFNQL passed a resolution inviting its members to voice their opposition to uranium development and to declare a blanket rejection of the uranium exploration and exploitation on all First Nation territories. This followed a resolution adopted by the Grand Council of the Crees in August 2012 declaring a permanent moratorium on uranium development in Cree territory.
"The exploration and exploitation of uranium constitute major and irreversible threats to our population, our territories and the resources they contain. As First Nations, we have a sacred duty to protect our territories and ensure the sustainable development of our natural resources," Timiskaming First Nation Chief Terence McBride said.
"Our experience here today has clearly demonstrated that the First Nations of Quebec and Labrador are united in our opposition to uranium development in our territories. We strongly encourage all the First Nations and citizens in Quebec to clearly and publicly express their opposition to uranium development," Cree Nation Grand Chief Matthew Coon Come added.
In March 2013, Quebec's Minister of the Environment announced a moratorium on uranium exploration or mining permits until the Bureau d'audiences publiques sur l'environnement (BAPE) had completed hearings on the uranium industry in Quebec and provided recommendations to the Minister. The BAPE'S mandate began in May.
This week, the BAPE completed the second phase of its inquiry, during which it heard from various ministries, experts and industry representatives on a number of topics relating to uranium and its associated risks. The third phase of the BAPE hearings were scheduled to start in November, at which time members of the public would have the opportunity to make oral and written submissions to the BAPE.
Anyone wishing to make submissions must file a notice of intention, available on the BAPE website, by October 16.
Australia's nuclear guinea pigs at Maralinga
AUDIO: Maralinga: Australia's experience of nuclear testing http://www.abc.net.au/pm/content/2014/s4082110.htm ABC Radio p.m Mark Colvin reported this story on Friday, September 5, 2014 DAVID MARK: It happened in the 1950s. But the truth about a series of nuclear tests in which Britain let off atomic bombs at Maralinga in the South Australian desert only started to emerge in the '70s.
Even now, there are still survivors demanding justice. Many are now dead, but there are still fears about the effects of the big doses of radiation they absorbed having on their children and even their grandchildren.
The journalist Frank Walker has written a book about Maralinga and he told Mark Colvin about what Australian servicemen actually experienced at the test site. …………
British scientists came over in their white overcoats and the helmets and the oxygen tanks – the whole thing – while the RAAF blokes stood there in their regular flying gear wondering what the hell was going on…….
FRANK WALKER: The British scientists wouldn't do a lot of things that they said the Australian servicemen had to do, such as drive the heavy vehicles into the red hot zone and pick up the scientific equipment and bring it back to them.
What the British wanted to know was could a nation survive an atomic war? In other words, if Britain was caught in an atomic war, they – obviously bombs would fall on London, Manchester, all the big industrial cities – but what would – could Britain survive? Could they grow food? Could the people survive? Would the children grow up to be adults?
This was what they wanted to know and this was why the instructions were to have men positioned at certain distances from the blast to see whether they could function afterwards.
MARK COLVIN: Now we've talked a bit about the servicemen, but we haven't talked about the traditional owners of the land. What happened to them? FRANK WALKER: They were treated absolutely abominably. First of all, they were just totally disregarded. They had no knowledge of whether Aborigines used Maralinga as a traditional hunting area and when it turned out they did, that this was actually a – many songlines went through this territory, that they would walk through this territory from waterhole to waterhole. They knew this land very well. They were – they tried to keep them out.
They had one sort of patrol bloke who knew the outback very well. He was a bushman, a bloke by the name of MacDougall, very interesting character. He had a job of trying to keep Aborigines out of an area that's about a million square kilometres.
MARK COLVIN: One bloke.
FRANK WALKER: One bloke.
MARK COLVIN: So, we will probably never know if any Aborigines were killed in the actual blast?
FRANK WALKER: I believe they were. I believe – there were several accounts that came up before the atomic royal commission in the 1980s where soldiers, where lower ranks described finding corpses in the Maralinga area. Certainly we know that some did come through the area and were found alive and they tried to decontaminate them and so on.
But the accounts of corpses being found in some of the craters and in trails near the test sites were – could not be proven. It ended up being the junior blokes, junior ranks would say, "We saw it. We saw them bulldoze the bodies." The senior ranks would come along and say, "No, it never happened."…..FRANK WALKER: I think both governments are extremely liable. The Australian Government at the time, at the very best, turned a blind eye to what was going on. The British Government was running the show and they were quite content in they treated Australia as though it were just do whatever they wanted and, under Menzies, the government did………

Shopping online can be a great experience. You don't have to leave the comfort of your home and you can quickly compare and read about all the competing products in order to pick the best one for you. But it can also be a little frustrating if the process isn't designed correctly.
Looking around for that checkout link, having to fill out registration forms and then being told the product is out of stock isn't going to make your day. Spend a little bit of time fine tuning your checkout process and polishing off the user experience and you'll be rewarded with happier customers and more sales. Here are 12 useful tips to help you do just that.Read more...
If you've managed to sell a product to a customer, use this opporunity to present further attractive offers to the customer. The topic "behavioral targeting", a technique that uses information collected on an individual's web-browsing behavior, such as the pages they have visited or the searches they have made, to select which advertisements to display to that customers. Many advertisers believe that this technique can dramatically help to boost the conversion rate.
Behavioral targeting is probably currently the most discussed advertising strategy. However, it is not clear if it possible to derive some meaningful customers' preferences and future behavior out of the earlier purchasing history. Wrong adjustments – based upon the browsing history – can significantly decrease the conversion rate as well.Read more...
In eCommerce usability improvements usually have a huge impact on conversion rates. However, usability doesn't only mean better visual guide or better site hierarchy. It also means a better communication with potential customers using a professional, trustworthy design, delivering the right information at the right time and communicating with users instead of throwing ad-slogans at them.
In this article you'll learn what to consider when preparing a perfect landing page for your product, how to focus user's attention on the most important parts of your sites and also how you can use videos and user ratings to improve your conversion rates.Read more...
Sometimes small changes can have huge effects. Concerning conversion rates, which is the proportion of website visitors who submit their contact information or make a purchase, better Web design leads directly to greater revenue.
Most online store designers who want to optimize their conversion rates only concentrate on the "inner" part of the shopping process, the sales funnel. They focus on product pages, the shopping cart and check-out-process. This is good, but not necessarily sufficient. It is equally important that advertisements convert – just as the simple fact that users find the URL and that both (ads and URLs) perfectly fit the image conveyed by the landing page. Sound practices make for the most successful conversions.
There are thousands of tips and tricks for increasing conversion rates. There are various marketing techniques that aim at simplyfing the purchasing and the checkout processes. This article is the first part of our new 3-part-series "Optimizing Conversion Rates" that covers most important strategies and techniques that will help you boost your conversion rate. The second part will be published next week, and the last part will be published the week after that. The first article deals with "proper" advertising, building up trust and credibility and the handling of shipping costs.Read more...
Last week we presented 8 Useful Tips To Help Your Website Convert – we discussed various rules and guidelines from marketing, such as subliminal suggestion, prevention of choice paralysis, AIDA-principle, attention guide and the Gutenberg rule. The main idea was to help designers and developers create a design that would help the site to grow and become a success the financial point of view.
This article presents further principles and rules that will help your site convert. Among other things, we cover A/B testing, footnotes, testimonials, feature lists, the sign-up process and typography. You may be interesting in the following related posts:
As we see more and more businesses move their services online, and even more that begin their life on the Web, a greater need arises for websites that are designed and built to sell. A great-looking website may achieve the goal of shaping and delivering a strong brand, but its good looks alone aren't enough to sell the products or services on offer. For that, you need to introduce the element of marketing.
Research shows that objects and images you see around you can prime you for certain behaviors. For example, a study on children showed that after being shown a Santa Claus cap, they were more likely to share candy with others. The cap embodied the concept of sharing and giving in their minds, and exposure to it primed them for regarding sharing more positively. The same study also exposed kids to a "Toys 'R' Us" logo, which had the opposite effect of the Santa Claus cap, making them less likely to share their candy.
You may want to take a look at the following related articles:
When was the last time you called customer support because you were having problems checking out online? Probably never! Cart abandonment rate is at around 60%, and most of it happens before the user even begins the checkout process. Sometimes, convincing your customers to trust you is your biggest challenge.
There is no "Consumer Trust for Dummies," but as eCommerce designers, we need to focus on some fundamentals. The following topics may seem as obvious as walking into a seven-foot Wookie, but rest assured you will find plenty of websites with a mouth full of fur.
If your core demographic is women between the ages 35 and 65 who have an annual income of $60,000+, you would treat them different than the 18- to 25-year-old male demographic. First and foremost in e-tail: forcing your visitor to think is a bad idea. When creativity stops being subjective and can be measured by a dollar amount, making sure you're designing for the customer is a no-brainer.Read more...

lolware - now with elliptic curve
LolDNS has been rebuilt. The tl;dr here is that many of us want perfect forward secrecy on Fedora derivatives such as RedHat, and the RPM needed just doesn't exist. In fact, it can't exist within the default build, due to a patent concern. This website was built using nginx, utilising elliptic curve enabled RPMs.
Fire up a linode.
Tokyo: Because NSA.
First, perform a
yum update
This typical update process is no different to a Windows Update - even though the Linode image is occasionally updated and generally "recent", the first run is going to perform hundreds of upgrades, many of which will be security upgrades.
The kernel is a common item that needs updates. Problem is, no matter how much you run "yum update", it will only look updated, due to the way Linode works. There's an official guide here on how to use a distribution's kernel:
It's good to follow this process, otherwise, your "security update" process involves first waiting for RedHat to package an update, THEN for Linode to decide to release an updated boot kernel.
Reboot at this point.
SELinuxMany online guides present common advice: Disable SELinux. What is this - 2006 where "Best practice" is "Disable your firewall because MYOB asked you to?". This is a valuable security tool and it should be treated as such. Fortunately, the biggest hurdle to this is getting your own kernel in, as you just did.
This script will sort this out:
You'll still need to edit /etc/security/config and set your SELINUX to enforcing. BUT before doing that..
yum install selinux-policy*
The default Linode build excludes these, but the system will fail to boot with SELinux and they are absent.
IntegrityNow comes time to determine what Linode gave us wasn't tampered with. Let's have a look at the signing key:
cat /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-6
Is it the same as what you see here?
Now let's see rpm verify what was installed:
rpm -Va > rpm_chk.txt
A few changes in this file are to be expected based on having used the system for a bit - but review them.
Account lockdowns
Add yourself a non-root account:
[root@li634-193 ~]# adduser technion
[root@li634-193 ~]# passwd technion
Changing password for user technion.
New password:
Retype new password:
Edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config:
PermitRootLogin no
At this point you should no longer be able to SSH in as root, but instead you can logon as another user.
YubikeyGetting a two-factor authentication should be a high priority. I selected Yubikey. Unfortunately its libraries aren't a part of CentOS yet.
[root@li634-193 ~]# wget http://opensource.yubico.com/yubico-c-client/releases/ykclient-2.11.tar.gz
[root@li634-193 ~]# tar zxvf ykclient-2.11.tar.gz
[root@li634-193 ~]# cd ykclient-2.11
[root@li634-193 ykclient-2.11]# yum install libcurl-devel help2man
[root@li634-193 ykclient-2.11]# ./configure
[root@li634-193 ykclient-2.11]# make && make install
[root@li634-193 ykclient-2.11]# cd ..
[root@li634-193 ~]# git clone git://github.com/Yubico/yubico-pam.git yubico-pam
[root@li634-193 ~]# cd yubico-pam/
[root@li634-193 yubico-pam]# autoreconf --install
[root@li634-193 yubico-pam]# yum install pam-devel
[root@li634-193 yubico-pam]# export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig
[root@li634-193 yubico-pam]# ./configure --without-cr
root@li634-193 yubico-pam]# make
[root@li634-193 yubico-pam]# cp /usr/local/lib/security/pam_yubico.so /lib64/security/
[root@li634-193 yubico-pam]# vim /etc/pam.d/sshd
auth required pam_yubico.so id=8514 key=XXXXXXXXXXX authfile=/etc/yubikey_mappings
Here you would setup the yubikey_mappings as per the key that you have.
NginxRedHat, CentOS, and other Fedora derived Linuxes, present a dilemma. The obvious solution to installing a web server, is "yum install". However, due to a heavily crippled OpenSSL installation that's there by default, SSL is somewhat crippled. I won't do into the details of that here, but the usual workaround is "compile it and install from source". Tht's a great sounding idea until you realise everything has been installed in a non-distribution standard location. And there's no init scripts. And you web developer shits a brick when he tries to work with it. So instead, I've worked on a process of statically linking Nginx to an uncrippled OpenSSL - and creating an RPM you can install yourself.
My custom RPM also includes mod_randpad, which you can use to apply randomised amounts of padding to replies. The process is:
Obtain the official nginx 1.4.2 SRPM.
use rpm2cpio to break it into it sources
Update to v 1.5.4
Remove SuSE specific stuff
Include the official OpenSSL tarball in the source
Edit the config options to statically link against that
Due to the resulting build triggering an obscure bug, we need to disable multithreading on the compile.
Rename so noone replaces it with a "yum update"
You can see the spec file here, and generated RPM here.
This nginx RPM also includes SPDY support!

I know its been over a year since you've updated this story...but I think you should continue. It is full of gripping plotlines and you managed to so wonderfully capture the tone and texture of the dialogue...especially Veronica. Logan even sounds broody enough. I really hope that you will continue because this is one of the first truly good Veronica Mars fanfictions I have come across so far.

wow love it! left me on edge lol please update x
| lgw chapter 24 . 8/11/2009
Just a note to encourage you to continue updating and I'm hoping that you haven't run out of steam like the show! This is one of only 2 credible Season 4 Fics I've read (the other being "Intentionally Blank" by Sairra). The mystery plots, both long and short are very much VM style. The potential for relationship disaster is also part of the suspense of the show. The fact that it is continually resolved amicably in your Fic does evince growing maturity on the part of the main characters but is of course a significant digression from the Series. Another is that Keith becomes Sheriff once again. I can't help but feel that the restoration of law and order in Neptune does hamper your, and therefore Veronica's, noir edge as well as her particular brand of ethics. For this reason I was sad to see Vinnie go, underneath his clown exterior he exhibited some serious cunning and malice which would have been great to explore. His link to disorganized Irish crime would have resulted in more corruption than arose under Lamb's incompetence and laziness.
I'm also surprised by the vituperation of the Duncan and Piz haters. It's essential to cement the notion that Veronica has a powerful fascination for the men in her life and they never get over her, or certainly not for a very, very long time. She's so different, much more than just "hot" or emotionally damaged. So many teenaged girls go out with a guy simply because they're so gratified to be asked but Veronica actively makes choices, often not the best ones but that's life.
Veronica is not a "girly girl" (Season 1). So her girl's night in the Fic rang a really false note. The only girlfriend she has is Mac and that's largely because Mac is a doer and not much of a talker – that's why when she does talk, V listens. This issue was raised in the show and posed a problem in the Logan/Veronica relationship. In Season 2 Logan says something to the effect that their relationship failed because: "he was too much man, no, upon reflection, she was too much man"; and again in Season 3 similar comments from him in the first few episodes about her being the "man". You've resolved this tension with a kinder, gentler version of Veronica which is one way to do it. I always hoped the Series would address Logan's insecurity and conservative gender stereotyping without compromising Veronica's unique strength as a character. The way forward, I always thought was for Logan to cease fulfilling his own and everyone else's prophecy that he was merely a frivolous underachiever and to develop some self-respect/confidence. Veronica too needed to learn a few things about life and people and hopefully from experience become a little less judgmental. No amount of psychology courses can deliver the insights to be obtained by even an hour or two of honest reflection. For this reason the closet encounter with Piz was surprising because it didn't seem to give her even momentary pause for thought.
On some of the other relationships, Mac and Dick, so not feasible and seems to blow out of proportion the significance of Dick's show of guilt over Cassidy and his hilariously oafish attempt to kiss Mac in Season 3. At the end of the day, Dick will always be too unsophisticated for Mac to converse with or play with for more than a night. She had more common ground with her non-biological parents than with Dick. Max, while problematic, had a better chance of holding her interest – we at least saw him reading and he had business acumen. Casey – well Veronica once described him as a "homely boy" in need of rescue from cultists but this was sarcasm. I just can't see him as the guy who gets married after a few months at 20; definitely not without a pre-nup to ward off Parker's ferociously pragmatic and censorious parents. Parker, however, gave the distinct impression she went to college for 3 reasons: (i) to escape oppressive parents; (ii) to have fun, find a husband and thereby escape oppressive parents and (i) to have fun, if need be to qualify for a genteel little job so that she could keep searching for a husband and thereby escape her parents. She's a real suburban, middle class, non-intellectual girly girl with conventional aspirations and as a product of rape too, is a Veronica foil. So I can see her getting married early, just not to a slick and cynical 09er, even if he did once spend a month eating "bad spores".
Lianne – I can't see the show's VM accepting her back with such a paltry demonstration of good faith but for your version I think it's feasible. I think it's also feasible that she and Jake are still an item. Some explanation as to why he's stuck it out with Celeste would be good, maybe no pre-nup? Although surely any mogul with an ounce of sense would have hidden cash at least in the multitude of friendly tax havens available.
Keith with Alicia – she's definitely the best girlfriend he's ever had and to some extent they've both had to put up with substance abusing spouses. This one is good and they can learn from each other too.
Lynn was a surprise; it's going to be hard to credibly explain her reappearance after that scene where she drove off in the car in a state of desperation. The lack of apparent premeditation in that scene makes this tough unless it is deleted from existence in your story.
Well I don't know if any of this is useful but please finish off this Fic. It seems a shame to leave it in a permanent state of hiatus like the show. You are a talented writer and employ words appropriately in your narrative. There are some typos and other errors but these aren't significant. I really hope that all the illiterate people populating the internet don't leave a permanent mark on the English language. Glad to see that you at least have had a decent education and paid attention to it.

After head injuries, particularly mild or moderate ones, a range of post-concussion symptoms (PCS) are often reported by patients. Such symptoms may significantly affect patients' psychosocial functioning. To date, no measure of the severity of PCS has been developed. This study presents the Rivermead Post Concussion Symptoms Questionnaire (RPQ) as such a measure, derived from published material, and investigates its reliability. The RPQ's reliability was investigated under two experimental conditions. Study 1 examined its test-retest reliability when used as a self-report questionnaire at 7–10 days after injury. Forty-one head-injured patients completed an RPQ at 7–10 days following their head injury and again approximately 24 h later. Study 2 examined the questionnaire's inter-rater reliability when used as a measure administered by two separate investigators. Forty-six head-injured patients had an RPQ administered by an investigator at 6 months after injury. A second investigator readministered the questionnaire approximately 7 days later. Spearman rank correlation coefficients were calculated for ratings on the total symptom scores, and for individual items. High reliability was found for the total PCS scores under both experimental conditions (R s = +0.91 in study 1 andR S = +0.87 in study 2). Good reliability was also found for individual PCS items generally, although with some variation between different symptoms. The results are discussed in relation to the major difficulties involved when looking for appropriate experimental criteria against which measures of PCS can be validated.

Then we printed each frame of the sequences on paper and cut out the rider from each one, which we used to re-create the sequences with different backdrops, creating the stop animation effect used in the video – a very SLOW process. It was challenging at times, but it came together in the end. We hope you like the film. ENJOY!
