Assassin, the Aftermath by ChaoyuanXuWatch
©2013-2016 ChaoyuanXu
The aftermath of the Incident of Xuanwu Gate. He had slain Jiancheng the Crown Prince of the Empire at Prince Shimin's order. But until then did he find it was all but a conspiracy. Now the mistaken was caused. Were the Templars behind everything?
The design of the outfits for these is just... breathtaking
Are...are those sword-chucks on his back?
Seriously. This needs to happen. This is boxart material right here.
This..should be on the next AC list!
They should seriously hire you on at Ubisoft as a concept artist. That and seriously consider this because I would adore an Assassin's Creed in this setting.
Sad :/ looks like AC5 story happened in London 19th not China
Well AC Unity will take place during the time of the French revolution (I think) which happened around the 18th century I think. That would be the late, late 1700's so ya... Anyways you never know we might get to travel to china eventually in unity because I don't just see the whole of France as a step up from black flag but more of its on the same level. Though I could be mistaken on its better or worse but there is no way any assassins creed game can be bad anymore. It's impossible, they are all just way to awesome.
Amazing works... All of them!!
But... if they will, i'll buy it as fast as i can!
They will no create this type of AC, couse it's one easy thing: There was no templars in China...
Magnificent piece! Magnificent armor design. Magnificent tone. Just plain magnificent!
SUBLIME ^^ j'espere que ce sera AC5 ^^
He looks so badass!!
May you tell me the Xuanwu's Chinese character (漢字) ?
I just love the mood and the details for this piece, would make an exciting game
make this game, please!
great draw!
great draw!
This picture so inspires me. And I DON'T mean that in a "I'm gonna copy you" kinda way. xD
It just helps my visualization muscle, and I wanted to thank you and let you know.

holy shit he looks bad ass
um... wow!
Pure Awesomness, holy s"#¤
I am in awe and love with your artwork<3
man this is exelent work
i would love an assasins creed set in china.

Words don't describe this excellence, ChaoyuanXu! Ubisoft Must hire you as a concept artist for this, nuf said!
ITS F***ING AMAZING, AWESOME, STUPENDOUS! NO WORDS CAN DESCRIBE HOW GREAT THIS ART WORK IS, such talent and skill to create such magnificent piece of art! and especially since I'm such a great AC fan!
Herrow there.
I really like this image and the story-line being in china.
It's something for a change, maybe Ubisoft sees this.
Anyways ... New subject.
I would like to ask you if I may take this design and make it into a costume?
I would be pleased if you said yes

This artwork is amazing! You have yourself another watcher! Please keep making art.
Tu trabajo es hermoso *-*
Your work is beatifull
Your work is beatifull
I heard they are doing another AC game. They had better set it in China and I hope you get hired to do their artwork!
I want this to be a thing soooooooooooo badly
This is so freaking amazing... Insta watch.
men you are amazing assassins creed is the beast game and you the beast in this
men you are amazing assassins creed is the beast game and you the beast in this
very good!!!
THIS.Is going on my descop.And Ubisouf should seriously hire you OO The details here are amazing <3
Dude did you get that job at ubisoft? If you haven't I'm marching to Ubisoft Montreal and I'm demanding you get one!
great design on the swords!
wonderful !
I'd probably be willing to kill a gnome to secure a way to play this game. If you keep building stuff for it, maybe Ubisoft'll jump on it? God I hope so.
That's what I was thinking! They really should. Someone has to point them this way!
I'm just speechless, this is such a wonderful piece of art o_O
Love it!
Love it!

An ambulance was sent to the scene
Becky Middleton, Content editor - Wimbledon + Epsom / / News
A man in his forties was taken to hospital yesterday after a road traffic collision in Morden.
Morden Road heading towards Wimbledon was partially blocked as emergency services dealt with the collision, which meant traffic was tailed back down as far as St Helier Avenue and the Middleton Road junction.
The London Ambulance Service was called at 7.22am on Tuesday, April 1, to reports of a collision.
An ambulance was sent to the scene where crews treated one man in his forties for arm and leg injuries.
He was taken to St George's Hospital in Tooting at 8.35am.
There were no other casualties.

text: I've recently attempted to calculate the force of repulsion between two neodymium magnets. The problems arise fairly early when I don't know how. I know about ampere's force law and all that, but I couldn't find an equation concerning permanent magnets. Obviously, two magnets with rectangular faces and side 5 and 6 have more force on each other than two magnets with half that size, because more magnetic field lines interact with each other. I need an equation Thanks

If you break into a church — on Christmas, of all days — expect things to not go your way.
That appears to be the case for two people arrested Dec. 25 in Grayson County, after their car wrecked in the snow while leaving the church and police discovered stolen property inside.
According to Grayson Sheriff Richard Vaughan, deputies responded to an automobile accident on Snow Hill Road in Fairview, but when they arrived, the driver and a passenger had fled on foot.
SALEM — The foggy and windy stretch of Interstate 77 in Carroll County requires vigilance — not only from speeding drivers, but from the state and local officials that oversee its safety.
Virginia Department of Transportation officials have taken a long, hard look at the accident-prone highway and put into place numerous safety improvements over the years, starting with a weather station in the mid-1990s.
As severe and sometimes fatal pileups continue to occur during poor weather conditions on Interstate 77, VDOT is not standing still.
As we look back on 2010, two long-standing disasters remain poised on the threshold of being resolved.
Jobs — at least some — appear to be returning to the Twin Counties, and Carroll County appears to be getting along with Hillsville.
It boggles the mind.
As everything is now hunky dory between Hillsville and Carroll County, a state commission is expected to approve the town boundary adjustment and water and sewer billing settlement.
Braeden Ford Whitaker celebrated his second birthday Aug. 19, 2010, with family and friends with a Thomas the Tank Engine party at Felts Park.
He is the son of Billy and Jessica Whitaker of Galax. His maternal grandparents are Henry and Joyce Ford of Galax and paternal grandparents are Charles and Kim Irwin of Sparta, N.C.
Rita Bunn of Fancy Gap had her 94th birthday on Dec. 9.
She celebrated at a meal at Flossies in Galax with her son, Joe Bunn; daughter, Joyce Bunn, and daughter-in-law, Ruth Bunn. Later she was serenaded in her living room by bluegrass band Jenny Leigh and the Boys (Jennifer Bunn, Harold Vass, Aaron Vass, and John Edmonds).
Justin Tyler Chappell celebrated his first birthday Dec. 24, 2010, with family and friends.
He is the son of Ashley Sexton and Joe Chappell. His grandparents are Lisa Waller and Barry Waller, Ricky Sexton and Jody Sexton and Cindy and Toby Chappell.
SPARTA, N.C. –– Galax saw a 21-point lead dwindle to two then grow again to 25 as the Maroon Tide took an 89-65 nondistrict win over Alleghany, N.C., Wednesday night.
Galax (5-0) was about as good as it could be for the first 8:46 but slowly coughed up nearly every bit of a 21-point cushion before pulling away down the stretch.
SPARTA, N.C. –– Kennedy Gambill nearly outscored Galax by herself, pouring in 39 points to lead Alleghany past the Maroon Tide 67-40 in the Alleghany Showcase tournament Wednesday.
Gambill, a junior guard, knocked down six 3-pointers and was 15-of-19 from the foul line as the Trojans improved to 6-3 on the year. Galax saw its record even at 4-4.
MAX MEADOWS –– Carroll County's work on the offensive boards was admirable. Grayson County's was efficient.
More than half of Carroll's 47 rebounds were off its own misses, but the Cavaliers could turn only nine of those 25 extra chances into points Tuesday as Grayson County took a 68-60 win in the opening round of the First Bank of Virginia Tournament at Fort Chiswell High School.
Well, we made it through another one.
Or at least we can say that at midnight. Bob Feller, Don Meredith, Ron Santo, John Wooden, Sparky Anderson, George Blanda, Manute Bol, George Steinbrenner, Merlin Olsen, we wish you could have made it with us.
Earl Weaver is still among the living, or at least that's what he says, contrary to a recent political column in the New York Times that read, in part, "…somewhere in heaven, Earl Weaver and Ann Richards are comparing notes…"

Kids say: 'Tanks for the memories'
THE weapons of war hold a strange fascination for children, and never more so than during the Second World War.
With Britain facing the might of Germany's mechanised army and its blitzkrieg tactics, the country's heavy industry embarked on its biggest ever arms race. And with money in short supply, the Government had to appeal to the public for extra funds to help build more planes and tanks.
As part of their 'Tank Drive', this behemoth was parked up in George Square, where local weans swarmed over it like ants. Their curious parents weren't far behind them, queuing up to get a gander at the war wagon.
Going by the shape of the turret, we suspect this was either a Covenanter or a Churchill tank.

TEPCO Slammed By Regulator For "Incorrect" Fukushima Radiation Readings
While the Fukushima nuclear disaster and its 'clean-up' remain oddly missing from most mainstream media headlines, the farce continues to unfold. As Reuters reports, Japan's nuclear regulator has criticized TEPCO for incorrectly measuring radiation levels in contaminated groundwater. The NRA blasted, "something like this cannot happen ... This (data) is what becomes the basis of various decisions, so they must do their utmost to avoid mistakes in measuring radiation."
Japan's nuclear regulator has criticized the operator of the stricken Fukushima plant for incorrectly measuring radiation levels in contaminated groundwater at the site.
Almost three years since the reactor meltdowns at the Fukushima Daiichi station, Tokyo Electric Power Co (Tepco) still lacks basic understanding of measuring and handling radiation, Nuclear Regulation Authority (NRA) Chairman Shunichi Tanaka said on Wednesday. The utility has been widely criticized for an inept response to the March 2011 disaster.
Tepco said there was a calibration mistake with one machine measuring strontium levels of well water at the plant, and it had also found an error with devices that decipher all-beta radiation.
"Something like this cannot happen ... This (data) is what becomes the basis of various decisions, so they must do their utmost to avoid mistakes in measuring radiation," Tanaka told reporters, though he added the mistake did not pose a serious safety risk at the plant.
Of course, it doesn't really matter what the actual radiation levels are... we assume with the Olympics now set in stone that these "measurements" will be decided by fiat from now on.

What disaster...?
We're talking ballpark numbers here.
How exact did you want us to get?
We want you to stand there, unprotected, until you get it right. Shouldn't take long.
Right there.....problem solved.
It's a bit like Monsanto testing its own product 90 days for FDA approval...
Nail on head. No f-ing kidding. Whytf tepco is even involved anymore is beyond me. It's my hope there's some shadow rescue team behind this whole thing, like the private bankers behind the fed, but doubt it.
It can't be fixed, therefore it all crisis management. Make it look like its under control.
its okay to falsify the numbers, but please don't revise them, it makes everybody involved look bad.
Save face, lie until they die. Fukushima didn't happen like you thought, lets get those other reactors restarted ASAP.
Oxford Dictionary nominates new phrase for 2014 consideration, "we've been Fuk'ed"
Why aren't governments sampling water,air and food? Because they don't want to panic the populace that they spent so much propgandizing into zombie like submission.
They have the private real numbers and the public propaganda numbers and lets not confuse anybody by making the real stuff public okay boys?
Is Fukushima not as bad as or worse than what the Russians did at Lake Karachay? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Karachay
Here we have a historical example of uncontrolled radiation release and the outcome on the population, and even Cesium 137 involved. So if the Russians had such a horrifying social impact, what do you suppose Japan is going to have? I tend to think multiple reactor meltdowns are far worse than Lake Karachay, but I am no expert.
It's entirely possible - and highly probable - that in many cases, measurements were taken and the equipment wasn't designed to handle readings that high. At some point a hand-held device, or even suitcase-sized devices, won't read what is coming out of the wreckage that is Fukushima.
So what would a good workerbee do? Pull numbers out of his ass to please his boss, and hope he doesn't get fired.
Now, what the larger, site devices, helicopters, ships and satellites read, well, we'll never see that data.
At some point, you just admit all life is coming to a radioactive demise and have a beer. We won't last 100 years. Eventually every child will be a mutant that can't support itself, let alone procreate, and that'll be it.
We already know what's coming:
The plant mutations and biocollapse now occurring across the North Pacific and North American continent are just the beginning.
Was just a fat finger issue. After Fukushima, finger got fat then fell off. No more fat finger problems.
we invade countries routinely to confiscate their oil, minerals, poppys, currencies, freedom...but we won't intervene in japanese affaires in order to solve a planet wide catastrophe?
The world has a major population>energy problem.
One way or another it will eventually balance.
TEPCO has put the fun back into cancer. Bastards.
Yes, it will all balance to zero.
Wrong skin color and the new Godzilla flick is already in the can. We're not that desperate. Yet.
Loved this:
"The WikiLeaks revelations have shined a light on the dark nature of U.S. foreign policy, including, as Eric Margolis recently described it: "Washington's heavy-handed treatment of friends and foes alike, its bullying, use of diplomats as junior-grade spies, narrow-minded views, and snide remarks about world leaders."
As much as I, an American, hate to say it, U.S. foreign policy is actually much worse. It is aggressive, reckless, belligerent, and meddling. It sanctions the destabilization and overthrow of governments, the assassination of leaders, the destruction of industry and infrastructure, the backing of military coups, death squads, and drug traffickers, and imperialism under the guise of humanitarianism. It supports corrupt and tyrannical governments and brutal sanctions and embargoes. It results in discord, strife, hatred, and terrorism toward the United States."
Think I could hitch a ride with you and your pet boy in the wayback machine?
Drop me off any where in the distant past.
Two important related stories:
Radioactive Water: Fukushima Daiichi's Hidden Crisis: click here.
It's a documentary produced by Japan's NHK. No hype, just facts (alas, not all of them, but still, the doc is well made).
Cracks found in floor near Fukushima radioactive water tanks: Click here.
TEPCO is working hard to regain Japanese Citizenry trust, as they've ordered "Spinal Tap" Geiger Counters that measure up to 11.
And this is the information they "allowed to be released". I notice there aren't any numbers...
Does anyone actually expect us to believe that artificially low readings were the result of mistakes?
Yes they do expect you to believe it. Sorta like when Obama speaks, he thinks all of us will believe him.
They are amazed when we do not understand, believe, the lies and incompentence.
Having taken these types of readings myself, you should absolutely believe they could make these mistakes. The question is, how long before a supervisor caught it, and who is running the show on the ground. I am a trained nuclear engineer and you wouldn't catch me within 100 miles of that place.
the BLS must have helped them with the Seasonal Adjustment to those radiation figures....
I'd almost forgotten, the Tumor-2.0 series, the biannual Skin Sloughing adjustment, the annual Dead Birth and Death model, not to mention the Leukemia Withdrawal Series and the Chemo Application of 1950. Then of course are the newly to be released Beta, Alpha and Gamma series Deformity Corrections.
In nuke experiments the US Guvmint wanted to see what the flash does to the eyes so they strapped a bunch of chickens on one side of an airplane, against the windows. The tests were non-conclusive because, "the chickens blinked."
The next time, they removed the chicken's eyelids before the bomb test.
They also blasted thousands of pigs to check on the their skin damage, but not before SHAVING them. The tests were deemed inconlusive because "their hides were to thick to be compared to people."
They tried the eye test on sheep, also, but had to do it twice because the sheep turned their heads. Subsequently, they strapped their heads, and removed their eyelids.
So don't worry our government is watching out for our welfare, they care.
Oh yeah, they wanted to test different clothing materials on the shaved pigs but there was a weather delay. The pigs gained weight, burst their seams, and had to be re-tailored in time for the nuclear test. Once again delared non-conclusive due to hide thickness
Animal testing with nuclear radiation:
It is related to all the psychological experiments done around marketing in the 20th century. What they have perfected is the concept that reality can be woven from whole cloth and these people truly believe that--all you have to do is remain on message at all times. It is quite Orwellian. Read about Edward Bernays: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Bernays
A mistake is an UNintended action based on erronious data.
This was action taken with full knowledge of the intended outcome.
Forthought and malice were involved here.
The araticle didn't say if the readings were low or high. ZH expects all of it's readers will assume the worst and therefore no need for numbers or accurate reporting of facts.
The readings were low by a factor of at least 5x
TEPCO has revised the readings on the radioactivity levels at the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear plant well to 5 million becquerels of strontium per liter – both a record, and nearly five times higher than the original reading of 900,000 becquerels per liter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive isotope of strontium produced by nuclear fission with a half-life of 28.8 years. The legal standard for strontium emissions is 30 becquerels per liter. Exposure to strontium-90 can cause bone cancer, cancer of nearby tissues, and leukemia.
The most serious problem is the thousands of tons of enriched uranium and plutonium aerosolized and blown around the world, with a half-life of a billion years. A billion years of the most dangerous and lethal material made by man being absorbed into every remaining living cell of every lifeform on this planet.
And what's left on site is being leached into the sea.
Maybe TuPhat can tell us ZHers which gubmint numbers to believe. I already know that I don't believe any.
WHAT THE FUKISHITM..??! Are you insinuating that those well dressed serious faced Jap .GOV/corporate bureaucrat douchbags are nothing but liars Mr. Rand?
We have all been Fuked...
Then the North American continent. It already started weeks after 3/11 with a significant rise in the Infant Mortality Rate, and hasn't slowed down since.
"Japanese citizens stormed the residence of several of the highest ranking Tepco employees and beheaded them in the town square this morning. Police encouraged residents to remain calm but eventually left the scene out of fear when the citizens started accusing them of violating their oath to protect the public. No government officials could be found to comment on what has been unfolding"
That might have happened 70 years ago. The Japanese have been properly tamed since then. Pity.
Never going to happen in Japan. Not in the culture. They will slowly die of radiation and only be upset that TEPCO officials did not seem to be sincere. Not that they lied, not that the people are dying, but that no one seemed to mean it when they said sorry.
The Japanse are unique.
Japanese... microwaved... not cooked.
So let me get this right. The power company that operates nuclear plants all over Japan does not know how to correctly measure radiation? What the fuck am I missing here?
But Chris Martenson told us last night that radiation wasn't that bad. So what's the big deal?
Actually, that's next;
TEPCO officials in a press release said the radiation levels at Fukishima are actually good for humans, and present an opportunity to evolve a unique subset of humanity. Some residents are reportedly evolving gills and tenticals, while others are turning reddish brown and are purported to have super human strength.
There a rumors of people turning bright yellow and becoming super intelligent, but after a few initial sightings, they apparently disappeared.
I for one hail our new yellow overlords.
From the Yomiuri Shimbun (CIA) (2011/5/11)
"During the expert panel's meetings, members presented studies comparing the health risks of radiation, such as cancer, to those of problematic daily habits. For example, the risk of contracting cancer from smoking is equivalent to that from being exposed to 1,000 millisieverts to 2,000 millisieverts of radiation.
The risk of cancer due to obesity is equivalent to being exposed to 200 millisieverts to 500 millisieverts of radiation, and the risk from not eating enough vegetables is equivalent to being exposed to 100 millisieverts to 200 millisieverts.
The study shows that people who refrain from eating vegetables due to radiation fears may face greater health risks than if they ate them."
The logic is stunning.
And this from Dr. Shunichi Yamashita professor and government radiation adviser. (2011/6/21)
"This doctor is quoted as saying, "The effects of radiation do not come to people that are happy and laughing. They come to people that are weak-spirited, that brood and fret."
You know, it's funny, growing up in the 70's & 80's, you'd think the Japanese were some kind of super-beings or something.
It turns out they're actually the most obedient sheeple-flock on Earth, questioning almost nothing.
It's the only way to evolve a new Hulk, Naruto Fukushima jutsu style, to face Godzilla in the final battle.
hmmm how do you say "won't someone fink of da shilldren" in Japanese?

You are probably missing a knowledge of the different types of radiations and their effects on people. Most ZHers don't know much about such things and are willing to accept any sensational nonsense about it.
Cause there are so many good types of radiation?
lets face it Fukushima is a toxic waste ground and the only thing in larger abundunce than radioactive isotopes are lies, big fat corporate government lies, like a big black cloud hanging over a toxic waste site filled with 3 melted nuclear cores leaking waste into the water table and the sea and the atmosphere.
Lies can't stop it, but they hope it can hide it. They recently made it a felony to ask questions about it in Japan. They are as transparent as the Obama administration and the NSA.
IF you can't trust the people in charge, and you can't trust the processes, you are right to be discerning and distrustful of official facts regarding the harmless nature of radiation.
we don't have a clue what the real readings are and thats not because they are so good they dont want to release them.
I know enough about radiation to avoid it whenver possible. Especially taking in radioactive materials through food, water or breathing.
Ann Coulter?
Is that you?
I thought your overlords had put you out to pasture after completing your quota of idiocy.
Good to hear from ya again!
I'm sure the #1 clean-up worker sub-contractor being the Yakuza has no effect whatsoever on the accuracy of reported numbers.
now can we say they are a bunch of culturally stunted pacific islanders with no ability to act as humans in the 21st century? i mean come on! look at how they handled this real crisis!... they are as children and should have not been allowed dangerous technology till they grew up and joined the rest of the enlightened world... General Electric decided this disaster years ago and should be held accountable for giving such poor stewards access to lethal and dangerous tech......imho......
thanks ZH for keeping us informed.....
US National Archives...
"President Dwight Eisenhower's administration, concerned about Japan's possible exit from the Western camp, accelerated cooperation with Japan in atomic energy technology to contain antinuclear and anti-U.S. sentiment among the Japanese.
In a memorandum to U.S. Secretary of State John Dulles, dated May 26, Eisenhower said he was "concerned about the Japanese situation," and asked Dulles to help "have a better idea of what it is now possible for us to do to further our interests in Japan."
In a top-secret memo to Eisenhower, the State Department replied: "The Japanese are pathologically sensitive about nuclear weapons. They feel they are the chosen victims of such weapons."
Noting that several exchange projects were under way, the memo concluded that "in the long run, scientific interchange is the best remedy for Japanese emotion and ignorance and we intend to push such projects."
Who in the world would want to take over from TEPCO?
Maybe the US National Guard needs a new mission to be volunteered for.
The largest shareholder in TePCO is now the japanese government. it is a way to put the blame on someone other than the government.
Tepco is the scapegoat setup to lose face.
No one can fix it, so blame it on Tepco, since they fucked it up in the first place.
Tepco will be in charge until the next large earthquake when they will come up with a new name and keep the same people in charge.
its called crisis management, try to calm everybody down and don't get any shit on yourself and fuck reality, what's reality got to do with our propaganda?
Regardless of any further earthquakes, soon Japan will run out of workers at their other NPP's - regardless of whether they turn them back on or not (or the other NPP's that are broken and no one talks about, like Daini) - and who will be there to make sure the cooling systems work? The continuous cooling is required on every NPP in the world, and without humans to supervise and repair, every reactor without continuous cooling will melt and enter the biosphere.
And the 24/7/365 cooling will be required for billions of years. On a huge number of NPP's that weren't built correctly in the first place, and no liability/responsibility to do so - Price-Anderson.
Look at gang members. Their only existence is to make as much money as they can, before they die early. They don't care what happens to anyone else, as long as they get theirs quick. They have no concern about living a long, healthy life, for them or their children. We call them psychopaths.
Now transplant these same people into banking and nuclear supervision.
why is TEPCO still in charge?..
Because much like US financial / politico watchdog agencies, as long as the inmates are running the asylum, at least someone's running it.
Tokyo Environmental Pollution and Catastrophe Organisation.
How come they haven't had their corporate charter revoked yet?
But wait...."Numbers don't lie," ...they say.
Please, don't eat snowballs from the "catastrophic" weather heading to Atlanta, even if the weather comes to be for the MSM a lot more "catastrophic" than THAT kind of radiation spreading by air, jetstreams, ocean currents, exports from Japan...
And stay out of the rain.
Ho'rey fuk. Me rook gauge rong, give u rong numbah. Soooreeee.
Quick, someone get some Thorazine into Geo Washington's latte. He reads this he'll whack until he damages himself.
I am surprised the regulator isn't in on the SCAM.
New study by the European Commission:
Possibly 56.000 km2 radioactively polluted (20.000 square miles), endangering the lives and health of some 43 million people, including the Tokyo area.
See this report: http://ec.europa.eu/environment/integration/research/newsalert/pdf/310na... (news alert)
EC openly says that IAEA models underestimate effects (multiple 5 !). Considering that the EC report dates from 2012 and is based on 2011 data, while Fukushima still produces masses of radionuclides on a daily basis (2014), it may even be (much) worse than even the EC analysed. This may very very very bad indeed. No precedent, ever. There does not even exist technology to decommission the stricken plant, so what can you expect? Has something unthinkable happened?

The government's outsourcing of its budget problems to the states in health and education funding will have dramatic effects on our capacity to handle the challenges of an aging Australia, Bernard Keane and Glenn Dyer write.
The government's budget strategy to slash funding for education and health via lower indexation because the states should take more responsibility for them raises three particular problems.
First — the most minor of the three, in the long term — is that it is likely to have mixed results as a spur to a proper debate about the GST. Remember, the government's pre-election position on changes to the GST wasn't that there'd be no changes in its first term (that was its initial position) but that there'd be no changes, full stop. Ever. Labor scared the Coalition into retreating to that position during the campaign.
Now, given the government appears intent on trashing as many promises as it can, that might not necessarily be an insurmountable hurdle — Tony Abbott could become the second Liberal prime minister to go to an election with a GST proposal despite a "never ever" commitment. If he does, good luck to him — perhaps fortune will favour the brave. Also remember that there are big benefits from GST changes other than increasing the rate — the food exemption will cost $7.4 billion per annum in lost revenue by 2017-18 (thank you, Meg Lees), while the education and heath exemptions will cost, together, nearly $10 billion by then. They could go before you need to lift the rate.
But if the government's strategy is to force the states to join together and do its political dirty work for it in selling the case for a rate rise, it's likely to be disappointed both in the level of unity the states can achieve, given they're deeply split on how the GST should be split, and on their enthusiasm for helping out a federal government that has just dudded them of tens of billions of dollars. That sort of decision, made without consultation or advance warning, is reminiscent of the old Premier's Conferences of the pre-Council of Australian Governments era, when every year premiers and chief ministers assembled in Canberra for a ritualistic punch-up with the prime minister and treasurer over federal-state grants (COAG was supposed to end those unedifying scenes).
No matter how much you challenge the states, co-operation with them will still be needed by the Commonwealth on a wide range of issues. That is now in doubt after this ambush. What hope do you give Tony Abbott's Federalism White Paper of being anything but a flop, when it should have been the start of something more worthwhile and possibly nation-changing?
Second, it dumps back on the states responsibility for finding the funding for one of the fastest-growing areas of expenditure in any level of government. As we explained last week, a huge economic challenge for Australia will not merely be finding the workers of the 2020s and 2030s, but finding those with the skills required by the Australia of that time — one in which health will become an even bigger employer than it already is, and is even more services-oriented than it is now — and in working out how to lift productivity in that sector when we struggle to measure it currently.
To reinforce the point, look at this paper by Treasury's David Gruen, which shows just how rapidly the health (and education) workforce will be growing between now and 2030. The government wants the states to be on the hook for that growth and isn't interested in helping them out, as the Gillard government was via its hospitals funding and Gonski education funding deals. The government's position is a blank refusal to acknowledge that the national interest is affected by how well states are able to educate the next generation of workers, and how effectively they can run the health sector, which will not merely be crucial to an ageing population, but will become a major economic sector in its own right — to the extent that it isn't already now.
Third, the "devolve it to the states" approach undermines the benefits of having an appropriately national approach to these key areas. It's fine to talk about competitive federalism, but we're just 23 million people heading towards 30 million, still smaller than a lot of American states. A more fragmented health system (and education system) means a poorer ability to monitor how effectively they're performing and less information about how productive they are, especially if state governments have the arse out of their pants and are likely to regard investments in performance monitoring as a waste better directed to more hospital beds or teachers.
And it also wishes away the differences between the states. How is Queensland, a huge and highly decentralised state by Australian standards, supposed to operate a health or education system with the same efficiency as Victoria? How is Tasmania, with its perpetual economic struggles, supposed to fund a hospital or school system as good as that of New South Wales? The losers won't just be regional Queenslanders or Tasmanians, but the national economy through poorer health and education outcomes.
As Gruen points out, there's a direct link between education outcomes and workforce participation, which as Glenn Stevens noted in a speech last month is a crucial input to meeting the "where will the workers come from" challenge. Stevens also noted that "migration adds to the workforce as well, though migration also adds to the number of people not working and retiring."
Higher levels of immigration might end up being part of the solution — that they can't be the whole solution — but there was nothing in the budget about that or from senior ministers when they have been talking about lifting retirement ages.
Adding an unnecessary process that will see the states repeat their failures of the 1950s, '60s, '70s and '80s and allow differing standards of education (and health services for that matter) to emerge at a time when a more focused national approach will be vital to economic growth and prosperity, is nothing but ideological short-sightedness.

As Bernard Keane said just before the budget, don't listen to what they say, see who benefits. This loony religious tea party mob aren't merely satisfied with transferring wealth from our most vulnerable to big business and high income earners, they are intent on transferring wealth from the poorest to the church as well.

If Abbott goes to a "GST referendum election" maybe that swing will be more uniform than it was against Howard, who hung on by more marginalised seats.

I suggest that the point of the cuts is to turn the drift of the middle class towards private schools and private health into a stampede.
6jmendelssohnPosted Thursday, 15 May 2014 at 3:54 pm | Permalink
Nevil, there might be an unintended consequence from the huge hike in university fees and abuse of the unemployed young. Bearing in mind that universities will have to admit any fee paying student who meets entrance requirements (minimum degree cost c$120,000) those parents who don't want to see their children crippled with debt will be more inclined to pay for their degrees than their schooling.

Roll on bulk obstructionism in the house and the senate, with incessant jeering at Abbott for lacking the guts to call a DD….the opportunities for the progressives are now pretty much unlimited, Abbott has thoroughly burnt all his political capital.
Adults indeed - how offended must the premiers be, with Abbott, Hockey and Pyne (so far) all parroting the same line that they expect the states to grow up and solve this little $80 billion dollar puzzle.
And Pyne this morning talking pretty bluntly about the quality sandstone Unis for the rich and privileged…..

States have so few revenue raising options (and several, specifically stamp duty) were supposed to have been abolished with the GST… so the forthcoming COAG should be fun.
9klewsoPosted Thursday, 15 May 2014 at 5:57 pm | Permalink
On a bit of a tangent, but after the last few years of devotion to blatantly backing Abbott's negativity while it ate away at Labor government competence and legitimacy, now Murdoch's Limited News is devoting itself to calling everyone to "get behind the government for the good of the nation"?
What utter rank hypocrisy?

The States have one of the most efficient and equitable revenue raising options known to them: land tax.
With that said, the States add SFA value to this country.
11The PavPosted Monday, 19 May 2014 at 5:18 pm | Permalink
If Abbott wants the states to pay 100% for education & health. There is a simple option to fund them.
Cancel the arrangement whereby the states handed over income tax powers to the Feds and let each state raise its own income tax.
I think the states would go for that

#Ashima Goyal #Budget2012 #Budget2012Vodeos #Deficit #Indira Gandhi Institute of Development Research #Inflation #Pranab Mukherjee
With Pranab Mukherjee's budget just a week away, all eyes are on the big budget numbers: fiscal deficit, subsidies, tax increases and concessions.
However, Dr Ashima Goyal of the Indira Gandhi Institute of Development Research in Mumbai told Firstpost's R Jagannathan that it is not the raw numbers that matter to fiscal consolidation, but the quality of the adjustment.
To deal with inflation, the government has to fix supply side issues in food and infrastructure, but this needs a supportive kind of fiscal consolidation.
According to Goyal, government spending has gone towards consumption, and this needs to shift towards investment.

|"East Street" (2010)
Children in Need: Top Hat (2015) [1]
|Present; regular
|Other names
|Jay Mitchell
James "Jay" Brown[2] (also Mitchell) is a fictional character from the BBC soap opera EastEnders, played by Jamie Borthwick. He made his first appearance on 14 December 2006. Jay's storylines have included being part of a gang, being orphaned by age 14 which resulted in his going into foster care and then being taken care of by the Mitchell family, as well as maturing from a wayward teen, forming a relationship with Abi Branning (Lorna Fitzgerald) and becoming a surrogate brother to Ben Mitchell (Harry Reid).
Jay is the son of Karen Brown and Jase Dyer (Stephen Lord), and grandson of Bert Atkinson (Dave Hill) and Evie Brown (Marji Campi). Karen died in 2004 of breast cancer. Jay was first mentioned on 5 December 2006, when a dying Evie told Bert that he had a grandson.
Jay first appears after Evie's funeral, when he is taken to live with Bert in Walford, per Evie's wishes. Jay is a troublesome youth: he steals, breaks into Pauline Fowler's (Wendy Richard) house, and offends Yolande Trueman (Angela Wynter) with a racist slur to impress his peers. When Jay's father Jase arrives, Bert leaves to allow Jay and Jase to bond. Jay continues getting into trouble, becoming involved with a gang of older boys, known as the E20 crew, led by Tegs Teague (Ben Smith). Jay helps them shoplift, and they give him a knife. The gang terrorises Dot Branning (June Brown) and Jay steals her keys so they can break into her house. The gang orders Jay to throw a brick through Dot's window, but realising it is wrong, Jay refuses and is rejected from the gang. Tegs later confronts Jay and a fight ensues, with Jay being stabbed in the leg. Tegs is arrested and his mother Tina (Kerry Ann White) tries to threaten Jay from testifying against her son at his trial. However, she is scared off by Jase's girlfriend Dawn (Kara Tointon). Jay gives evidence at the trial and Tegs is sentenced to two years in a Young Offenders Institute.
Jay and Jase try to flee Walford when Jase double-crosses a football firm but Dawn stops their departure by setting a date for her and Jase's wedding. The firm, led by Terry Bates (Nicholas Ball), holds Jay hostage to get revenge on Jase. Jase is able to save Jay with Billy Mitchell's (Perry Fenwick) help but is beaten to death by Terry's men, and Billy, too frightened to intervene, leaves Jase to die. Jay accuses Dawn of causing his father's death and goes into care to get away from her. Jay is later fostered by Billy, who is wracked with guilt for not saving Jase from the gang. Jay's behaviour worsens when he plans an arson attack on Dawn, but Billy is able to stop him and Jay eventually makes amends with Dawn. Jay and Billy move into a flat with Janine Butcher (Charlie Brooks), who tries to get rid of Jay by stealing and blaming it on him. Feeling unwanted, Jay befriends Marissa Moore (Finn Atkins), who works at a brothel, and they plan to run away together. When Marissa backs out, Jay runs away alone and sleeps rough, until Billy convinces him to move back in. Terry's trial for Jase's murder approaches and Jay is furious to learn that, rather than attempting to help Jase, Billy hid to save himself. Terry's wife, Viv Bates (Dido Miles), threatens to hurt Jay if Billy testifies. Jay is taken hostage by Terry's firm as a security measure, and Billy risks his own life to save him. Billy and Jay are both rescued by the police and Billy testifies, which results in Terry receiving life imprisonment for murder, partially redeeming himself in the eyes of Jay.
Billy and Jay move in with Billy's relative Phil Mitchell's (Steve McFadden). Phil gives Jay a job as a mechanic and they bond. Phil is proud of Jay when he overpowers Connor Stanley (Arinze Kene), a man who sells stolen goods for Phil. In doing so, Jay stops Connor stealing Phil's profits. Impressed with Jay's courage, Phil is pleased when Jay decides to change his surname to Mitchell, though it upsets Phil's son Ben (Joshua Pascoe). Despite initial animosity between Ben and Jay, they grow fond of each other, referring to themselves as 'brothers'. Jay starts dating Abi Branning (Lorna Fitzgerald) despite objections from her father Max (Jake Wood), who thinks Jay is only interested in sex. Jay and Abi do plan to have sex several times, but on each occasion, they are unable to go through with it. Despite Abi's insecurities over Jay's friendship with Lola Pearce (Danielle Harold), she and Jay remain together, and eventually Max comes to accept them as a couple.
In 2012, Phil is imprisoned for the murder of his ex-partner Stella Crawford (Sophie Thompson), who abused Ben then jumped from a building in 2007 after Phil confronted her. It transpires that Ben is behind Phil's arrest, having given a false testimony to the police to punish his father for rejecting him for being gay. Ben admits giving false testimony to his brother, Ian Beale (Adam Woodyatt), but Heather Trott (Cheryl Ferguson) overhears. Although it is Ian who tells the police about Ben's lie, Ben assumes it is Heather; he confronts her and in a rage, kills her. Jay witnesses the murder and is persuaded by Phil, who has just been released from prison, to cover-up Ben's involvement. Jay is traumatised by the murder and incensed to discover Ben has kept evidence to frame him for Heather's murder, should he need to. When Heather's finacé Andrew Cotton (Ricky Grover) is falsely charged with Heather's murder, Jay is unable to see him sent to prison and tells the police Andrew is innocent, saying he saw him elsewhere at the time of Heather's murder; Andrew is released without charge. With Phil and Ben frequently fighting in the wake of the cover-up, Jay decides he cannot remain living with them and moves in with Abi's family. However, after a long discussion with Max, Jay returns home to live with Phil and his partner Shirley Carter (Linda Henry), who is unaware of Jay's involvement in Heather's death as she was Heather's best friend. Jay is upset when he discovers Abi is planning to go to Costa Rica and proposes to her. She tells him she does not want to be a young bride and leaves for Costa Rica, leaving him heartbroken. Jay seeks comfort in his friend Lola Pearce (Danielle Harold), and after breaking into The Queen Victoria public house, Lola kisses a stunned Jay. While cleaning under Ben's bed, Jay finds the photo frame that Ben used to murder Heather. Horrified, Jay wants to report Ben to the police, but Ben hides the frame in a bin bag. They both agree to dispose of the frame but later find it is missing, as it has been handed in to the local charity shop.
Jay supports Lola Pearce (Danielle Harold) through her labour and bonds with the baby, Lexi, in the absence of the biological father. Shirley eventually uncovers the truth about Heather's murder and is horrified that Phil and Jay knew. Ben confesses to the police and they find the photo frame. Jay then backs up Ben's story, is charged with perverting the course of justice and released on bail to live with Billy (unable to return to Phil's as he is a witness). Jay visits Phil, who orders him to change his statement so Ben will not go to prison. However, Jay refuses and Phil disowns him. Jay is comforted by Patrick Trueman (Rudolph Walker). Billy then tells Jay he cannot stay with him; Jay brands him a coward, and breaks down as he misses his father. He is forced to sleep rough and Kat Moon (Jessie Wallace) lets him in for food and drink until her husband Alfie Moon (Shane Richie) turns him away. Jay then secretly sees Lola but she is scared of him and tells him not to go near Lexi. Rejected by the rest of the community, Jay then stays with Patrick, who has offered him a place to stay. Abi returns from her trip and learns from her parents about Jay's involvement in Heather's murder, and she rejects him. The next day she tells him he should have done more to stop Ben. He resumes his friendship with Lola and helps her steal cleaning supplies to make money, and they end up sharing a kiss in front of Abi. Abi insists she is happy for them both, however, Lola says she was just winding Abi up, and the three friends reunite. Jay gains employment from Max but is sacked when Phil refuses to work with Jay, when he has to collect cars from Phil. Abi consoles Jay, and after she is attacked by Alexa Smith (Saffron Coomber), Jay comforts her and they declare their love for each other. Jay is later pleased when Lola asks him to be Lexi's godfather, he has doubts whether he will be good enough but Abi's grandmother and Lexi's godmother Cora Cross (Ann Mitchell) assures him he will be. In court, Jay is sentenced to community service for his part in Heather's death.
Jay, Abi, Lola, Dexter Hartman (Khali Best), Peter Beale (Ben Hardy) and Cindy Williams (Mimi Keene) go on a caravan holiday, where Abi discovers her period is late and tells Jay that she could be pregnant. Jay and Abi argue because she wants an abortion if she is pregnant, while Jay would rather be a father. Abi is not pregnant but Jay thinks their relationship is over, so kisses barmaid Kitty (Chloe May-Cuthill), witnessed by Dexter. Jay and Abi reunite but he feels guilty, and when Kitty keeps calling him, he tells her to stop, but is overheard by Lola. Jay promises Lola that he only loves Abi, and Lola agrees to say nothing to Abi. Dexter reveals Jay's infidelity to Abi in an argument. Abi is devastated, but ultimately forgives Jay.
Lucy Beale (Hetti Bywater) is murdered by an unknown assailant, and Jay discovers that Max is having a fling with a detective involved in the case, Emma Summerhayes (Anna Acton). He agrees to keep quiet for the investigation's sake. Emma and her colleagues organise an appeal to raise public awareness into the murder inquiry, and display CCTV footage of a man in a beanie hat on the same bus as Lucy on the night she died. Jay is skittish on seeing the footage and later burns the hat. He then makes arrangements to move away with Abi when she gets accepted into Bolton University. On hearing that the police have a new lead on the man on the bus, Jay makes plans to leave for Bolton with Abi immediately after saying goodbye to Phil at a barbecue run by the Queen Vic, but during the proceedings Summerhayes and her superior, DI Samantha Keeble (Alison Newman) arrive and question Jay (as seen in scenes available online) over a robbery at a shop near to where Lucy was killed, and it is revealed he was with another man at the time. He denies any involvement and is released without charge. He later confides in Shirley that he was with Ben on the day Lucy was killed, but he has only seen Ben twice since he was released from prison. Shirley forces him to tell Phil, and his initial anger leads Jay to move in with Abi for a while, and he plans to move to Bolton before Phil marries Sharon Rickman (Letitia Dean). Jay later reconciles with Phil and reunites him with Ben. It is revealed that, under Ben's instruction, Jay buried Lucy's phone and purse in the allotment. On the day of Sharon and Phil's wedding, Jay and Abi split when Abi realises Jay is harbouring feelings for Lola. When Phil is accidentally shot by Shirley, Jay and Ben are instructed by Ronnie Mitchell (Samantha Womack) to throw the gun in the canal. The Mitchells, including Phil, decide to cover for Shirley by saying that a random person shot Phil.
Jay is horrified to discover that Ben and Abi have begun a relationship and Abi later moves in with the Mitchells. Jay develops feelings for Lola again, who rejects Jay's offer to start a relationship. When Max tricks Ben into signing The Arches over to him, Jay discovers that most of the cars he has been fixing are stolen. Phil lets Max believe that the stolen cars have been located by the police and Max signs the business back to Phil.
When Ben is arrested on suspicion of killing Lucy, Jay tells Sharon, Lola and Billy that Ben mugged Lucy. Jay and Lola begin a romantic relationship. Jay realises he could be implicated in Lucy's murder, as her phone and wallet have been handed to the police. He leaves Walford, taking Lola and Lexi. They return to Walford the next day to collect their belongings before moving to Newcastle, but when Billy phones the police in a last ditch effort for more time with Lola, Jay is arrested, and Lola and Lexi move to Newcastle alone. Jay receives a suspended prison sentence and a three-month curfew. Although he intends to join her when the curfew is finished, Lola later calls Jay to end their relationship. Three months later, Jay meets Linzi Bragg (Amy-Leigh Hickman) and is attracted to her.
Casting and development[edit]
Borthwick was 12 years old when he joined the cast of EastEnders. He attended three auditions, followed by a screen test, after which he was offered the part of Jay.[3] Originally a recurring character, Jay was considered a regular from July 2007.[4] He was involved in a minor racism storyline, where he called another character a "black cow". EastEnders' executive producer Diederick Santer said this was inspired by the race row in Channel 4's reality show, Celebrity Big Brother, commenting: "The Celebrity Big Brother race row kicked off as I took charge of my first scripts. I thought it was fascinating because it showed there was a real need for a debate about race in Britain. [Big Brother] didn't do it particularly well, so I thought it could be something EastEnders should do. Our stuff won't be overly moralistic or preachy but it will tackle this serious issue head on."[5] Another controversial storyline saw Jay get involved with a gang of youths, ending with him being stabbed in the thigh. A BBC spokesperson said "This is easily one of the most shocking and controversial storylines EastEnders has ever done. It is not a decision bosses have taken lightly, but it is an issue that is top of the news agenda. [...] We're going to tread very carefully — it won't be gratuitous. The plan is to screen the episodes in the usual slots before the watershed. Hopefully by showing the suffering that gang violence can cause, some people may think twice about getting involved."[6]
In December 2015, it was announced that one of the biggest storylines of 2016 would be for Jay,[7] and it was speculated that February 2016's introduction of a new love interest for Jay, Linzi Bragg (Amy-Leigh Hickman), would be linked to this storyline.[8][9]
In January 2008, the BBC received 184 complaints from viewers over 13-year-old Jay's stabbing storyline, angry that children would have seen it. Ofcom received a further seven complaints. The BBC allowed the controversial broadcast despite a clampdown on soap violence being ordered. John Beyer of Mediawatch-uk said: "I think this shows that at a flagship programme such as EastEnders they are prepared to ignore public opinion, prepared to ignore the regulator and the complaints and carry on regardless."[10] A BBC spokesperson defended the storyline, stating: "EastEnders has always tackled difficult issues and we acknowledge that some viewers could consider this storyline challenging. However, we aim to reflect real issues and during this storyline the audience will see Jay's torment through to him deciding not to yield to peer pressure like his father did many years ago. This is part of a long-running storyline that in no way glamorises the use of knives, or portrays violence in a positive light. In fact the storyline will culminate in the character of Jay doing the right thing."[11]
Borthwick has been praised by critics for his portrayal of Jay. Nancy Banks-Smith of The Guardian wrote that the episode in which his father died "offered Jason's young son, Jay (Jamie Borthwick), a chance to steal the show, which he duly did with a touching torrent of grief. His father, a thief himself, would have been proud of him."[12] Borthwick won the award for 'Best Dramatic Performance from a Young Actor or Actress' at the 2008 British Soap Awards,[13] and was nominated for 'Best Child Actor' at the 2008 Digital Spy Soap Awards.[14]

Distinguishing a serious illness from a minor illness can be difficult
among febrile infants. Pantell and colleaguesArticle report
data on the management strategies and clinical outcomes for more than 3000
febrile infants 3 months or younger who were seen by physicians participating
in a practice-based research network. The authors compared the clinicians'
diagnostic and treatment decisions with existing guidelines. They found that
the majority of infants were treated as outpatients and specific diagnostic
and treatment strategies depended on the infant's age and the physician's
subjective assessment of illness severity. Clinicians did not strictly follow
existing guidelines, but relying on current guidelines would have resulted
in more hospitalizations and laboratory testing without improving care. In
an editorial, RobertsArticle reviews the historical development
of guidelines for treating febrile infants and discusses the applicability
of guidelines developed in academic centers and emergency departments to community-based
pediatric practice.
Previous studies have suggested an association between coffee consumption
and a reduced risk of diabetes. Tuomilehto and colleagues conducted a prospective
study of Finnish adults to further investigate this purported link. After
adjusting for potential confounders including age, body mass index, physical
activity, alcohol use, and smoking status, they found a significant inverse
and graded association between daily coffee consumption and risk of type 2
diabetes during a mean follow-up of 12 years.
Prior studies of sex differences in cardiac outcomes have yielded inconsistent
results. King and colleagues assessed survival after cardiac catheterization
in more than 37 000 patients to examine whether the extent of coronary
disease, treatment strategy, and follow-up time influence the risk of death
in women vs men. Women were found to have higher 1-year mortality than were
men, specifically in the first 40 days after catheterization. There were no
sex-related differences among patients who did not undergo revascularization
procedures, but among patients who did, women had a higher mortality rate
within the first year after the procedure. These outcomes remained unchanged
in analyses controlling for age and comorbidities.
Restricted caloric intake protects rodents from spontaneous breast tumors,
but whether a similar protective effect might exist in women is not known.
Michels and Ekbom conducted a retrospective cohort study of women who had
been hospitalized for anorexia nervosa before age 40 years to examine whether
they had a lower risk of incident breast cancer than women in the general
population. They found that women with a history of anorexia had a significantly
lower risk of breast cancer, with the greatest risk reduction among women
with anorexia who subsequently had children.
Lifestyle factors are likely responsible for a substantial number of
deaths in the United States, and modifications in these choices could improve
public health. Mokdad and colleaguesArticle used cause-of-death
reports from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and data abstracted
from a systematic review of studies linking risk behaviors and mortality to
calculate risk-attributable mortality rates. They found that tobacco use is
the major cause for deaths, accounting for an estimated 435 000 deaths
annually. Overweight and physical inactivity contributed to approximately
400 000 lives lost in 2000. In an editorial, McGinnis and FoegeArticle
discuss the progress made over the past decade and the challenges
to improving US public health.
Scientists reported they had succeeded in deriving human stem cells

My daughter Rachel was diagnosed with diabetes at 18 months old. Since neither my husband nor I had a family history of the disease, you can imagine the shock and confusion I felt as a parent. Rachel had been an extremely healthy toddler, but when we came back from two days away and her caretaker told us that she'd been consuming huge amounts of liquid and begging for "more juice," I was worried. I knew there was nothing else it could be.
I packed her in her car seat and we went to her pediatrician's office, where they told me it couldn't be true, she was too young. I begged them to test her and my worst fears were confirmed. Her blood sugar was 700 — off the charts. She was immediately admitted to what was then Children's Hospital. Doctors explained that a few more days left untreated could have resulted in a coma.
As any parent whose child is newly diagnosed with a disease knows all too well, the first few months are awful. With diabetes, it meant insulin shots, blood tests and middle-of-the-night seizures. I was horrified and felt helpless so I did what any parent would do: I made it my mission to help find a cure.
I was trading during this time, and found friends, colleagues and even competitors to be very supportive of Rachel's situation and how it was affecting our family. I invited them to support or join me on a team for the annual American Diabetes Association walk. Who would have thought that our first-time team would end up becoming one of the top fundraisers in the country?
As Rachel grew, I continued to fundraise through the ADA and JDRF to help find a cure. Rachel began taking care of herself around age 8, and at age 10, was one of the first kids to receive a pump. By age 11, she was fully in control of her diabetes, counting carbs and matching the right foods.
After my 40th birthday celebration, a friend suggested that we throw the next bash to have fun AND raise money for diabetes research. We had no idea how to start an organization, but we certainly knew how to throw a party — so "Friends for the Cure" was born. We did all the corporate fundraising before the event, and the first party raised $200,000. That year, 300 people turned out for an unforgettable time.
Ten years after that first event, Rachel is 18 years old, and "Friends for the Cure" has raised more than $2 million dollars to support research and educational programs for various diabetes organizations. What started as a group of friends getting together to combat this disease has become 700 celebrants trying to raise $500,000 to directly fund research. Rachel is our inspiration and the reason we have all come together. I hope you'll join us at this year's event.

Another picture from the wonderful sunset last weekend. A very rare view this long and gray winter.
Mühlbach am Hochkönig, Austria
Mühlbach am Hochkönig, Austria
Mann...wo hast du die Finger her die sowas knipsen??? XD
You bring us some truly STUNNING imagery! Bravo!!!
Does "stock" mean I can use your photos to draw from? I have no problem giving credit with links, of course
Does "stock" mean I can use your photos to draw from? I have no problem giving credit with links, of course
I would like it more if we had a spring in germany. This winter is too hard to enjoy this great photo.
Oh! I wish I could visit Austria one day.
I wish this was stock. Very pretty
That is beautiful and breath taking!
sunsets are almost always beautiful in the mountains, and this harmonic shot really shows that - hope you had / are having a great time in my home country
LOL and just now I look in your profile and see where you actually come from, whoops
Wonderful shot! I like the sunlight of the sunset and the reflection on the snow
That snow is begging for a snow angel, very pretty
Thank you Helena. I wanna watch you doing this. The snow is very deep, so you'll disappear
Bah all i need is a good set of mittens, i'll take the risk, it would be an epic snow angel When we were flying over the dolomites i just couldn't stop looking at all the mountains needing snow angels, so many and so little time.
LOVE the footprints!
C: aww you can see the footprint trail leading away(?)!
Hmm..I think it is something else, didn't look like footprints. I guess is is a fence or something similar.
I really don't want winter to be over just yet when I look at this.
Absolutely beautiful!!! The the texture of the snow lightly lit by the sunset. Really nice!!! Tc and God bless
It's Dawnstar from Skyrim!
Beautiful shot, I love the subtle way the light plays on the snow
beautiful shot.. peaceful atmosphere.. lovely winter
When everything melt what does it look like? I'd be afraid of flooding for the house! It's still so amazing though.
The snow doesn't melt suddenly but very slowly, so it may take until June. The rivers are growing then though.
that's amazing! We only got, maybe, three feet here and once it started to melt it flooded half my street and the sidewalk. It was ridiculous! So it's amazing that nature sort of just takes care of itself where you are.
I love it
springtime, alles relativ xD nach dem winter kommt erstmal der sommer, dann seh ma weiter
schöner frühling im bild xD
schöner frühling im bild xD

Abyss by hypnothalamusWatch
©2013-2016 hypnothalamus
When you gaze too much into the abyss
You start seeing a reflection of yourself
Wonderful piece. It reminds me of a quote from Fernando Pessoa.
"We never know self-realization. We are two abysses--a well staring at the sky."
Lately I've been trying to discover why I decided to "become" an artist in the first place. My only answer had something to do with a compulsion to be good at something, until I discovered your paintings. Now there are a lot of people out there who dig deep into their minds (or maybe their creativity just boils up closer to the surface) and come up beautiful, provocative paintings, but by chance, yours have hit me at just the right wavelength. I especially love this piece, and I'm reminded what is so wonderful about art. The puzzles you create--the conversations between the hemispheres of the brain--are delightful. And sometimes nauseating. And I think that's great.
for me art, this type of art, has always been THE most expansive way of evolving, to stretch my mind beyond what is/seems to be
and of course in is many other things as well... but this is, I think, the most important
thanks for the quote, think I heard it somewhere before, but it's always nice to be reminded of it
This is very eerie, but super interesting. Love it though. Fantastic shading, concept, and use of color. Really enough to make a person stop and think.
Way out! I love It!
damn concept.. mind blowing.
Creepily good. Keep up the good work!!
This reminds me of the final boss of the game "Catherine." So trippy. Simple color effects really did make this picture POP! Beautiful detail, also.
Strong work... a little weird but fantastic. No one can remain indifferent.
This is fantastic!
+1 Reminds me of the borgs
very creative
this is great. really creative
Oh wow...man, this is fantastic.
awesome work
This is amazing
I Like!
Greedy and self-destroying. Is that what this character sees in the abyss?
woow, strong picture
love it!
Excellent work!
It feels like 1984.
This art, and the statement in your description just sum so many emotions. It's moving. Congratulations.
Lemmings that rip my flesh?
Simply amazing...
It really really hurts.
Well, I can see the modified Nietzsche quote, but I can't see the picture. Says the image is broken.
You sir are so freakin amaizing. I get inspired from every freakin picture you make. Highly incredible!
I like mice. take care :]
Lives up to its name!!
