You are here: Home > Planning
For much of its history the City of Yarra has been characterised by an industrial landscape. However the late stages of the last century saw a shift towards higher residential density as population rises and demand for inner city living increased. As a result, Yarra's suburbs are a mixture of narrow heritage streetscapes and modern contemporary design.
Adapting and developing the City to meet the changing demands of the 21st century requires very thorough long-term planning. Council is responsible for developing strategic planning and transport policies to guide the future development of the City.
Council is also responsible for applying planning, building and heritage controls, through the permit process, to ensure that development in the municipality is suitable, safe, sensitive to the environment and preserves significant heritage areas.
For a simple overview of how these processes are integrated refer to Understanding Planning in Yarra factsheet below.
Understanding Yarra Planning (533.01 KB)
The planning permit and building permit systems are very different and operate under separate legislation, although they are often related to each other.
A planning permit may be required for development, land use, advertising signs or removing trees depending on the requirements of the Yarra Planning Scheme.A building permit will be required for most commercial, industrial and residential development including new buildings, alterations and additions to factories, warehouses, shops, dwellings, sheds and in some cases fences and retaining walls. Building permits can be obtained from Council's Municipal Building Surveyor or a private building surveyor.
Before construction or activity can start, a proposed development may require a planning permit, building permit or both.

The cloak of teenage invincibility has left one of the great Jackasses.Ryan Dunn has been confirmed dead
in the wake of an early-morning car crash. He was 34. Quite honestly,
it's surprising that death has spared the crew famous for being dumb for

Romney Gets a Post-Debate Jolt
Online Donations, Bigger Crowds Gives Campaign Hope; Team Obama Looks to Mute Any Gains
ABINGDON, Va.—Mitt Romney's strong debate performance Wednesday night has generated $12 million in online contributions, his campaign said, as well as a surge in volunteers and bigger crowds at his events.

- Issues: Romney vs. Obama on key topics
- Campaign Ads: Watch and rate
The challenge for Mr. Romney in the weeks ahead will be translating this jolt of energy into votes in a race that saw the Republican nominee enter the first debate trailing President Barack Obama in most of the states that will decide the election.
Republicans and Democrats say Mr. Romney's performance before a television audience of some 67 million people bought the GOP nominee a second look from swing voters and may help him improve an image battered by negative ads and his own missteps. The debate also gave Mr. Romney a chance to do something he couldn't in the primary: trumpet his record of working with Democrats and present himself as a practical deal maker who favors results over ideology.
One former Obama White House official said the debate "has caused people to take a second look at Romney."
It is too early to tell how much Mr. Romney moved the needle Wednesday night, and the early evidence is more anecdotal than empirical: Volunteers in Nevada lined up before campaign staff could open the doors on Thursday morning, the campaign said, and larger-than-usual groups showed up to work at field offices across the country. The campaign said it added more than 300,000 new Facebook friends.
The $12 million the campaign reports raising in less than 48 hours after the debate tops the amount Mr. Romney raised in the days after announcing Rep. Paul Ryan (R., Wis.) as his running mate and the Supreme Court's decision to uphold a major plank of the president's health-care law. Sixty percent of the money came from first-time donors, the campaign said.
Mr. Romney's debate performance triggered additional volunteers for the GOP's next national turnout drive on Saturday. The number of people who signed up to volunteer to make calls, knock on doors and sign up supporters for Mr. Romney has shot up by nearly 63% since Wednesday night, campaign officials said. The Republican National Committee, working in conjunction with the Romney campaign and its various state parties, expects to contact nearly two million voters on Saturday and roughly five million for the week.
Mr. Obama and his campaign have moved to diminish any bounce Mr. Romney may have gained from the debate, which produced wide agreement among people in both parties that Mr. Romney had bested a lackluster president. At a rally in Fairfax, Va., on Friday, the president mocked Mr. Romney for threatening in the debate to give a pink slip to Big Bird.
"When he was asked what he would actually do to cut spending and reduce the deficit, his big example was to go after public television," Mr. Obama told a rally at George Mason University. "For all you moms and kids out there, don't worry. Somebody is finally getting tough on Big Bird."
The Democratic National Committee sent someone dressed as the big, yellow bird of "Sesame Street" fame to Mr. Romney's rally Friday in Abingdon.
The Obama camp produced an ad this week that accused the Republican nominee of misleading voters about the impact of his across-the-board tax cut. In an interview Friday on MSNBC, senior White House adviser David Plouffe called the Romney tax plan "a complete fairy tale." Campaign aides said Mr. Obama will drive that message more aggressively in the weeks ahead.
Mr. Romney's resurgence comes as some states already are casting ballots. In Iowa, nearly twice as many Democrats have voted or requested absentee ballots as Republicans, according to numbers posted by the secretary of state's office Thursday night. That is a tighter gap than a few weeks ago, when Democrats outpaced Republicans by a 6-to-1 margin in the state.
On the heels of the debate, the Romney campaign is scrapping smaller, indoor venues for outdoor rallies aimed at firing up thousands of supporters. Messrs. Romney and Ryan drew about 10,000 people to a rally Thursday night in Fishersville, Va., according to the campaign's tally, where they were joined by country-music star Trace Adkins and a fireworks display after the Republican nominee wrapped up his remarks.
At the least, Mr. Romney has given Republicans renewed hope after weeks of bad polling and negative headlines.
"I thought we were going to come up short again," said Dave Runkle, a pharmacy manager from Waynesboro, Va. "But now I'm pumped. I feel much better."
At a noon rally Friday in Abingdon, in rural southwestern Virginia, power-plant worker Philip Musick said he had been lukewarm about Mr. Romney until the Republican won him over in Wednesday's debate. He said he would work to convert family and friends who are still on the fence.
"After the debate, I definitely feel he's the one to lead this country," said Mr. Musick, of Lebanon, Va.

A slightly noob subnet mask question
I'm currently studying like crazy with the hope of doing an OSCP qualification when I learn enough, but as my question was network related I thought it maybe best to post it here..
I've been following this guide
and learning all the essential areas it describes until i get to the following line from the networking part..
"You will need a firm grasp on subnetting. The differences between a Class A, B and C network, and no a Class C is not a slash twenty four (/24). If that came as a surprise to you, then you seriously need to go back and read. "
This has confused me a LOT, from my previous University studies I was lead to believe that a Class C subnet IS slash 24 (/24) as it has 24 of the possible 32 bits active (255.255.255.0) and pretty much everything i've researched has backed that up.. have I missed something obvious here??

During the Opening Ceremonies, I'll be Remembering Munich's Victims

In 1972, 11 athletes representing Israel in the Olympics were murdered by Palestinian terrorists at the Munich Olympics. The family members of these victims have asked the International Olympic Committee to mark the 40th anniversary of their death with a minute of silence. Their request has been rejected. The Olympics cannot be a source of peace and unity to the world if the IOC blatantly disrespects the memories of the murdered Israeli athletes.

New Zealand Breakers import Cedric Jackson has been named the National Basketball League's player of the week for round nine of the NBL Championship, after registering a rare triple-double in his side's win over the Melbourne Tigers.
Jackson picked up his second Player of the Week award - he also won in round six - after an amazing 28-point, 10-rebound, 10-assist performance as the Breakers scored an easy 94-64 victory over the Tigers on Friday in Auckland.
In the process, Jackson became the first Breakers player to have a triple-double (double-figures in three major statistical categories) and did it in just 25:45 of playing time.
Jackson also added four steals for good measure, and dominated his highly anticipated match-up with former number six NBA Draft pick Jonny Flynn of the Tigers.
Jackson shot 71 per cent from the field (12-of-15) including 50 per cent from the perimeter (2-of-4) and made both his free-throw attempts.

very nice and quiet Apartment situated near U -bahm and main station Everything were Ok and we will recoment this Apartment. We would rent this place again.
regards Birgitte & Michael - Denmark
We had fabulous stay in Vienna and part of the credit goes to Katharina. She was extremely helpful and nothing was too much of a problem or too much to ask. The flat is in great location just minutes away from the train station and even closer to the U Bahn station, which takes you to the heart of Vienna within minutes. The flat is really spacious and lovely decorated and lies within quiet neighbourhood. There are all mod and cons one requires and central heating was just perfect for chilly November evenings. We definiltey felt part of the city and would go back any time.
We have had a very nice time in Wien. Katharina's Wohnung is simply perfect. Very well communicated with the underground only 2 minutes walk just in the corner and the train central station only 5 minutes walk. The appartament has everything one may need and is all new. We havent met Katharina as she was in travel but her father has received as very kindly and offer us any information we could need. Our next time in Wien we will for sure repeat with this appartament.
Thank you for your help Katharina!
A very pleasant , well equipped apartment very close to U-bahn and Oberes Belvedere within walking distance. Highly recommendable. Ebbe Denmark
Katharina was very helpful on arrival and the apartment was very good and ideal for a our short break to Vienna. The location is also very good being close to main train station so easy to get to and from airport. Easy access to Vienna via underground which is two minutes walk from apartment. The apartment was clean and had everything we needed, just as shown on the Wimdu web page. Only slight negative was the central courtyard was a bit noisy at times but we are light sleepers and also it was a holiday in Vienna so there was probably more activity than normal. We would stay here if we came to Vienna again, so we can recommend this apartment.
We were three adults and a 2,5 year old and the apartment was perfect for us since both rooms can be accessed separately. This was very convenient since we could go to the bathroom or the kitchen without having to bother others.
The apartment is on the first floor so you don't have to walk too many stairs, which is ideal. You have a lot of privacy too since all windows are facing the backyard and not the street.
The apartment was very clean and cozy and we thought that it even looked better than on the pictures. There are even some DVDs, plenty of books and even toys for little children which was perfect for us! We also liked the fact that the apartment has everything you need to feel home (hairdryer, iron, shampoo, oil, vinegar, pasta etc. etc.) and cozy yet it is a professionally run "hotel" since you don't have all the owner's personal stuff in it (so all the cupboards etc. are for us guests).
Katharina is a great host, very friendly, helpful and flexibel. She made early check-in and late check-out possible for us since the apartment wasn't booked the next day which was great for us.
The location is really perfect too. The subway is 1 minute away and you can get to the very center of Vienna (Stephansdom) in just 3 stops. Even walking there is not a problem. Moreover there are busses, trams and trains too that can take you anywhere you want. We could park our car for free on the street in the weekend and the rest of the time we had the car parked about 15 minutes away for free (a great tip Katharina gave us).
There are 2 great typical Viennese restaurants within 10 minutes walking distance, so is Schloss Belvedere.
Several supermarkets are just 2 minutes away.
So in short, we had a perfect stay and I couldn't think of anything that we didn't like about the apartment. We will definitely come back to this great address. Thanks Katharina!
Large, quiet and nice appartment, close to the center. We had a great stay in a great city. Everything you need is in the neighbourhood, even a playground for little children. Katharina was a great host.

Synaptics Soars 17%: Raises FYQ4 Revenue View, Sets $475M Display Acquisition
Shares of touch sensor marker Synaptics (SYNA) are up $10.99, or almost 17%, at $77.51 in late trading, after the company this afternoon said it now sees revenue for the fiscal Q4 ending this month to a level above consensus, and said it will pay $475 million in cash to buy the leader in display driver technology.
Revenue in the three months ending in June is now expected in a range of $300 million to $310 million, up from a prior forecast or $275 million to $295 million, the company said, "driven by better than expected performance for both mobile and PC products."
That is better than the average estimate of analysts of $282 million.
Separately, the company said it will purchase Renesas SP Drivers of Japan, describing how the deal will expand the company's addressable market in technology for PC and mobile displays:
With the acquisition, Synaptics expects to increase its addressable market opportunity by 1.5X and to accelerate its product roadmap for touch-and-display driver integration (TDDI). The combination enables platform-level solutions for select segments of the mobile market, while also extending its leadership position in Touch and DDIC product families [...] For the year ended March 2014, Renesas SP Drivers' revenue and cash flow were approximately $650 million and $100 million, respectively. The combined business of Synaptics and Renesas SP Drivers is expected to create significant revenue and investment scale to drive future growth and operating leverage. The acquisition will be immediately accretive to Synaptics' non-GAAP EPS, excluding transaction related expenses. The acquisition is expected to close in the fourth calendar quarter of 2014, subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory reviews, as necessary. Synaptics intends to fund the transaction with cash and committed debt financing of $300 million. Additional details can be found in Synaptics' Current Report on Form 8-K, filed today.

Beaver pond & rainbow - Big Wood River, Idaho
Beavers greatly modify watersheds by their dam building activities. Here, a series of wetlands have been created along the Big Wood River in Idaho. Trapping of beavers in the 1800's greatly reduced populations and modified watersheds. Beaver ponds retain sediments and slow nutrient transport through the watershed. A rainstorm and beautiful rainbow highlight the scene.

For anyone that missed this in the commercial thread.
That's a beautiful sight. I can't begin to imagine all the money tied up in that operation.
That yard, had nearly 2500 colonies
It may not look like it but we didn't start loading till the sun was setting.
Had 5 Loads loaded and strapped in 2 hours,
4 Bobcat Operators
4 Guys Smoking for the Bobcat Operators
4 Guys Dropping Nets and strapping Down,
Plus all the bosses just watching.
This was the culmination of a week of washing Boxes and pallets in preparation for California Almonds.
With The Pallets already double stacked and one bobcat operator on either side of a semi, it took about 15 minutes to get a load of bees onto the truck,
then the netting/strapping team would start as the bobcat operators went to the next truck.

News is out this morning that rapper, will.i.am, is teaming up with some of our FAVES for his new album, #Willpower. Apparently he has already recorded hits with our dear, Britney Spears and Alicia Keys for the upcoming LP. Read on for more the details about what will said about the collaboration. We are so excited!
Talking about the collaborations on the album, the star revealed: "I have a song with Alicia Keys – me, Alicia and Swedish House Mafia. I have a song with The Beats, which is pretty grand. Me and Shakira have been trying to finish the stuff we started, and me and Britney is really crazy…we got a song with me, LMFAO and Eva Simons. A song with me and Busta Rhymes and Swizz Beatz. I got a whole other bunch of collaborations."
The Black Eyed Peas rapper is pretty excited about the collaborative work he has in store (as we are!!), and also is aware that he is now living what he has dreamed of since he was a boy. He said, "#willpower is just a reminder to myself of staying [a] contestant with the dream – keeping the dream alive. "It was all a dream when I was 15 years old – 20 years later I managed to take the dream from an idea to physicality. So #willpower is uplifting songs, encouragement for those that need it."
What do you expect from his teaming up with Britney? or Alicia? Have you heard the hit, T.H.E (The Hardest Ever) featuring J.Lo and Mick Jagger? This is the sound I am expecting from his work with Brits and Alicia…melodic rap, with a dance feel… it is very catchy (I am now singing it all day I think.)
Watch the music video for T.H.E for some Monday morning upliftin…0

CSS: The Definitive Guide, 3rd Edition, provides you with a comprehensive guide to CSS implementation, along with a thorough review of all aspects of CSS 2.1. Updated to cover Internet Explorer 7, Microsoft's vastly improved browser, this new edition includes content on positioning, lists and generated content, table layout, user interface, paged media, and more.
Simply put, Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a way to separate a document's structure from its presentation. The benefits of this can be quite profound: CSS allows a much richer document appearance than HTML and also saves time -- you can create or change the appearance of an entire document in just one place; and its compact file size makes web pages load quickly.

Updated to cover Internet Explorer 7, Microsoft's vastly improved browser, this new edition includes content on positioning, lists and generated content, table layout, user interface, paged media, and more. Author Eric Meyer tackles the subject with passion, exploring in detail each individual CSS property and how it interacts with other properties. You'll not only learn how to avoid common mistakes in interpretation, you also will benefit from the depth and breadth of his experience and his clear and honest style. This is the complete sourcebook on CSS.

Our look is the result of reader comments, our own experimentation, and feedback from distribution channels. Distinctive covers complement our distinctive approach to technical topics, breathing personality and life into potentially dry subjects.The animals on the cover of CSS: The Definitive Guide, Third Edition are salmon (salmonidae), which is a family of fish consisting of many different species. Two of the most common salmon are the Pacific salmon and the Atlantic salmon.Pacific salmon live in the northern Pacific Ocean off the coasts of North America and Asia. There are five subspecies of Pacific salmon, with an average weight of 10 to 30 pounds. Pacific salmon are born in the fall in freshwater stream gravel beds, where they incubate through the winter and emerge as inch-long fish. They live for a year or two in streams or lakes and then head downstream to the ocean. There they live for a few years, before heading back upstream to their exact place of birth to spawn and then die.Atlantic salmon live in the northern Atlantic Ocean off the coasts of North America and Europe. There are many subspecies of Atlantic salmon, including the trout and the char. Their average weight is 10 to 20 pounds. The Atlantic salmon family has a life cycle similar to that of its Pacific cousins, and also travels from freshwater gravel beds to the sea. A major difference between the two, however, is that the Atlantic salmon does not die after spawning; it can return to the ocean and then return to the stream to spawn again, usually two or three times. Salmon, in general, are graceful, silver-colored fish with spots on their backs and fins. Their diet consists of plankton, insect larvae, shrimp, and smaller fish. Their unusually keen sense of smell is thought to help them navigate from the ocean back to the exact spot of their birth, upstream past many obstacles. Some species of salmon remain landlocked, living their entire lives in freshwater. Salmon are an important part of the ecosystem, as their decaying bodies provide fertilizer for streambeds. Their numbers have been dwindling over the years, however. Factors in the declining salmon population include habitat destruction, fishing, dams that block spawning paths, acid rain, droughts, floods, and pollution.The cover image is a 19th-century engraving from the Dover Pictorial Archive.

More than a book on technology

Comments about oreilly CSS: The Definitive Guide, 3rd Edition:
What I really appreciate about this book is the consistent way he's approached a subject such as this. CSS is one of those things that's hard to define, but Eric Meyer is clearly the man and has taken on the job well and guides you through the various standards, and sometimes compares with their actual behaviours. It's great how he does it. Plus the O'Reilly people let you have the book in multiple digital formats, PDF, iPad book, even Android phone (this one is amazing)!! and of course Kindle. I've ended up using the book in all different devices!!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Solid tool for web developers
By jdruin
from Undisclosed
This book was good not only because it covers a very large number of style elements, but it also covers the practical application of those styles. As a developer, being able to see large numbers of examples positioned close to the style itself was helpful. Additionally, each style has a block listing the possible attributes for the style and whether the style will be inherited plus other behviors. Between this and my JavaScript reference, I use these two books more than any when working on web applications. Once you get used to the books layout and throw a few sticky notes in key places, it is easy to lookup key styles and methods quickly.
Good...I finally get it...
By Leam Hall
Eric writes in a clear and detailed way that really communicates. This is especially challenging when an artistic concept has to be explained in technical detail!If you just need a little CSS, check out Eric's articles at [@]. If you're tasked with supporting several sites with diverse text requirements, or you're into heavy CMS configurations, read the book!

the best - but not good enough
By TomG
Meyer's CSS - the Definitive Guide has been my principal CSS reference since original edition back in 2000. In terms of its completeness of coverage and clarity of its explanations, it beats anything else that I've come across. Yet it is far from perfect - the deficiencies in the index that have been noted by others remain one of its significant negatives. Futhermore, in one important respect the third edition is a step back from the first edition. In the first edition, Appendix D's CSS Support Chart described the ability of the various browsers available at that time to support specific features of the CSS standard. In my case, this was one of the most heavily used sections of that first edition. The third edition, however, does not have an equivalent appendix and is, in fact, silent on the subject - except for a few occasional comments randomly inserted in passing throughout the body of the text. To earn a fifth star, I'll need to see the return of some reasonably comprehensive treatment of the conformance of the various available browsers.

solid book, with some correctible flaws
By eliot1785

Definitely Definitive!
By Anonymous
CSS: The Definitive Guide details the ins and outs of the CSS specification. It is filled with numerous easy to follow examples. The illustrations that accompany the examples are invaluable as they allow you to easily compare the markup, the applied style sheets, and the results which greatly enhanced my understanding of the material. The humor included in the examples made me laugh more than once which is a welcome relief when tackling such a complex topic as cascading style sheets.This edition of the book covers version 2.1 of the CSS specification. The author routinely points out where the specification was unclear as well as how certain browsers violate the spec which really helps point out what style sheet authors need to watch out for when targeting certain browsers. This is information that is not in the specification and could take a lot of time to find out on your own.If you are wanting to learn all you can about how to enhance the visual presentation of your site, are wanting to learn more about the capabilities of CSS so you can see how to modify the look of sites you visit using reader style sheets, or just want to find out what all of the buzz surround cascading style sheets is about then I'd recommend this book.I do have to warn you though, the author leaves no corner unturned. He starts out slow with an introduction to cascading style sheets and what they bring to the table. The following chapters then delve head first into topic after topic. You can be sure that you will know the technology through and through by the time you are finished with the book, just be prepared to spend some time working through the material.The author has done a wonderful job bringing to life a subject that might otherwise be quite dry. The years of experience he shares in chapter after chapter has made me glad that I've added this book to my library.

Would like a DVD
By Wayne
I really anjoyed this book, especially the sections on camera movement and camera illusions. In most cases the illustrations get the point across, but some of the effects would benefit from a demo movie that could show the finished effect, as well as a stand off view showing how it was filmed. If someone has done any of these effects, perhaps you could post a link here to show how they turned out.Wayne

Golden Nugget Atlantic City Earns 2013 AAA Four Diamond Award
150 million dollar renovated hotel-casino achieves standard of excellence
Only the third property in Atlantic City to receive this recognition
The Automobile Association of America has named the Golden Nugget Atlantic City Hotel & Casino one of its coveted 2013 Four Diamond award winners, for a prestige lodging establishment in the state of New Jersey.
The AAA designation, which rates properties on customer service and quality of accommodations among other factors, exemplifies the Golden Nugget Atlantic City's standard of excellence in the hospitality industry.
"This distinction is among the most well-known and respected trademarks in the global travel industry and the Golden Nugget Atlantic City is extremely honored to receive the AAA Four Diamond Award for its superiority in the hospitality industry," said Tom Pohlman, executive vice president and general manager for the property. "This recognition shows that inherent with the name Golden Nugget comes an expectation for excellence and a dedication to customer service."
Since 2011, the Golden Nugget Atlantic City has seen an amazing $150 million property-wide renovation and expansion project which added new restaurants, retail corridor, poker room, Spa & Salon, H20 Pool + Bar as well as remodeled all 740 luxury guest rooms and suites.
Only two other Atlantic City hotels have achieved the AAA Four Diamond Award status in recent years and the Golden Nugget is proud to be among the ranks of the best in the country.
AAA's Diamond Rating System is the only ratings system that covers all of North America and one of only two that conduct physical, on-site evaluations. It is the only system that uses full-time, professionally trained evaluators to inspect each property on an annual basis using a set of guidelines that are made available to all establishments. AAA rates more properties than any other rating entity. For more information, visit www.aaa.com/diamonds.

Triangle (Pale Fire Freedom Machine), 2005

Purchased 2006
National Gallery of Canada (no. 41843)

The Pale Fire Freedom Machine series depicts carefully composed groupings of thrift store wooden furniture that have been photographed straight-on in a clinical, gallery-like space. The title of each work echoes the formal qualities of the furniture's quirky arrangement. For example, Cage Work presents a desk upturned on its side, topped by two chairs, one yellow and one white. The spindles of the white chair correspond to the cage of the title and conjure up the metaphor of office work as entrapment. The series was created in conjunction with a larger, multi-media piece, A Pale Fire, which involved gallery staff in stripping and disassembling chairs, commodes, bureaus, desks and tables, after which the furniture was burned. In this sense, the photographs are both functional and metaphorical; they depict an inventory and operate as memorials.

After reading about the use of ammonium nitrate in smokers I was wondering if the 8 oz. Nitrous Oxide cartridges could be used for virgin introduction. One would avoid the toxins created if the ammonium nitrate burns at too high a temperature.
Ammonium nitrate use is common enough in Europe that bee suppliers sell small packets of it.
I could imagine giving the bees a little whiff of laughing gas from a whipped cream dispenser but I'm not sure that I would want to knock them out completely.
There is some info on the use of co2 and queen insemination but I haven't seen much on the use of Nitrous Oxide. 8 ounces of pure gas sure sounds safer to work with. Perhaps one of our resident chemists can tell me how much Nitrous Oxide is given off from approximately one teaspoon of ammonium nitrate.
Just curious...

Ending violence online – focus on women's rights and safety online
JOHANNESBURG (APC) – Technology-related violence against women is increasing at an alarming rate – yet it expresses itself differently around the world. A new initiative by APC Women is helping women create safe and secure environments online in seven different countries in Africa, Asia, Europe and Latin America. Find out more….
Communicating research for influence: Strategies and challenges for bringing about change
JOHANNESBURG (APC for APCNews) Communicating research for influence is not easy. We designed this manual based on our success stories and challenges in communicating research for influence. We translated our knowledge and expertise into tips that other organisations or campaigners may find useful.
Digital Storytelling as a Feminist Practice
BREMEN (Sigrid Kannengießer for GenderIT.org ) – Digital storytelling provides a powerful way of using information and communication technologies to empower marginalised women. Digital stories are produced and distributed by digital media. In digital storytelling workshops, marginalised women and women's rights activists develop a forum to tell their stories and share their experiences by producing short films about themselves.
Pakistan: Bloggers and journalists to duck digital threats
ISLAMABAD (FD for APCNews ) – "Pakistan is among the world's most dangerous places for journalists," reads a report recently produced and published by Bytes For All, Pakistan. Based on a research survey commissioned by Internews, the report takes a hard look at the awareness Pakistani journalists and bloggers have of their own digital security.
Taking the highway to Grahamstown
GRAHAMSTOWN (FD for APCNews) - Five years back, I took the highway to Grahamstown, South Africa. I had landed in Port Elizabeth before being picked up by a Rhodes University shuttle bus. This year, Highway Africa is taking place at Rhodes in Grahamstown for the 16th time and looking at the media's coverage of Africa's rising.

I know I saw a metal entrance excluder/protector somewhere but cannot find it now.
Then will looking I decided why not ask the experts what they think of those round excluders that can be used to completely close off the entrance, have a worker slot and a drone slot (I think that is what the third entrance is).
Are these worth while devices or they something that don't really work well?
And what are the pro and cons of the plastic versus metal ones?
Seems like the plastic would likely get brittle in the sunlight after a few years (depending on type of plastic).
If the metal ones are cheap tin or poor galvanized, they likely will not last long either.
What does the folks here think?

VOICE OVER: The Top 10 Take Risks & Instigate Change
The Top 10 on NBC's The Voice took the stage tonight, vying to keep their spots on the show. The stakes were very high because the decision is completely up to America to vote for their favorite. No coaches can save them now. So Christina Aguilera's last two contestants performed, as well as Blake Shelton's two, Adam Levine's three, and CeeLo Green's three. As they did so, it seemed like they all wanted to turn this competition upside down, trying out new styles and challenging themselves hard-core.
Before reading any further, make sure to click here and review previous re-caps to get reaquainted with the current contestants on The Voice.
To open the night, Christina and Blake sang "I'm Just a Fool" in a beautiful duet. And then they got down to real business.
Christina brought in Rob Fair, who signed her on her first album, as a guest coach. So her first mentee, Sylvia Yacoub sang "Girl on Fire," and during rehearsals, Christina said, "She reminds me of a young me." Sylvia liked this song because she felt like she could relate to it and really express her own emotion through this music. Accompanying herself on the piano initially, Sylvia delivered this performance passionately, but the notes themselves were wanting for the most part, with the exception of the higher ones. The judges, however, loved her. Christina couldn't help saying, "You were on fire!" (see what she did there) " She also told Sylvia, "You just made me so proud, because I know there were some issues with changing it up, but you excelled and went above, you have it all. You blew me away."
Terry McDermott, the Scotsman, was the first of Blake's team to sing, and he chose, "Summer of '69." Scott Hendricks, Blake's producer, helped coach contestants tonight, and of Terry, he said, "He goes for it, and there's nobody else on the show like him. I don't know how anybody hits those notes." Blake emphasized how Terry can connect to his audience in such a powerful way on a regular basis, "That connection that you have with people really is strong." Terry emphatically stated, "I'm determined to try to give Blake a win." Terry is one of those that I find myself looking forward to. And yet again, he did not disappoint. He knocked this song out of the park and garnered a standing ovation from his coach. CeeLo gave him some concise, powerful praise, "Terry, you remind me of everything that I genuinely love about rock 'n' roll. I've become such a fan of yours that I'm ready to hear your own music." Sweet coach Blake confessed, "I'm not good at conveying my thoughts and feelings," so he just restated CeeLo's sentiment, adding, "You're doing something that people don't dare do. You're walking on sacred ground, and you're welcomed. Thank you for choosing me as your coach and making me look so smart."
Adam said of his 17-year-old contestant, "Melanie Martinez carries herself with so much grace and maturity. She's very emotional in a great way. That's what I love about Melanie." She sang, "Seven Nation Army," and Adam cautioned her, "If you want to win, you need to surprise people." Aware that this is the time to show the audience that she can do more with her voice, Melanie Confidently said, "I'm a softer singer, so... I definitely need to find those moments where I can highlight that power." She successfully featured the supported part of her voice more, and as she accompanied herself with the guitar, this sounded like her best performance so far. The dress she wore in the performance looked like an average dark dress, but it actually had her own photography on it, allowing her to connect her photography passion to her singing. Following this performance, Adam said, "You pushed really hard to do this song, and I'm really proud of you because you stuck with your guns on this, and I'm proud that you stayEd Strong on this. You made me really proud." Wow, I think Adam might have been proud of this performance.
CeeLo brought in Jennifer Hudson, who got her start from American Idol, to guest coach his team. "I'm a fan of The Voice. This is the perfect way to prepare you for the industry. Cody's personality is so huge, and that turned out to be more memorable than his voice." CeeLo and Cody himself wanted Cody to break out of his shell completely and just be a game-changer as he performed, "Crazy in Love" with what he called a "Cody twist." He had back-up singers, a crazy outfit, and really seemed to channel his inner Adam Lambert. Every coach simply ate up his performance, but Christina seemed like she was making a conscious effort to make up for what she said last week, when he took offense at the fact that she told him she wanted more from him. So she seemed a little over-eager, saying, "Cody, you worked it like a true diva! I do enjoy watching you move." She addressed last week's comment seeming to turn it around to attribute his success to her, "What I say pushes people to do better." Contrary to what she seemed to think, an awkward comment does not cancel out an earlier awkward comment. But Cody's coach CeeLo said, "You just bring me so much joy. I love you so much; you're so cool, and I think everybody gets that positive imagery from you. You'll be one of those artists that encourages people to be themselves, and that's very imperative."
New York native Bryan Keith of Team Adam sang, "New York State of Mind," to which he had an emotional connection. "I'd listen to this song with my dad and brother; it's just in me," Bryan told his coach, Adam, who was encouraging Bryan to be real with the honest in order to win. Blake was unusually exuberant with praise for this guy, so much so that he could barely articulate what he thought, throwing an extremely southern "gosh-dangit" in there. The coaches reached the consensus that Bryan successfully sang like a man and connected with his audience, as he had sought to do. Adam was brimming over with excitement about his contestant, "Billy Joel is one of my favorites. You did that song justice; you did exactly what we talked about. You have a certain spirit that lends itself to that song. It's really important that you sing that song like a man. You kicked that song's booty." Yes, like a 9-year-old, he did use that term.
Another fan favorite from Team Adam, Amanda Brown sang "Stars." (Not the Les Mis song; the Grace Potter one) Amanda said, "There's a big risk with this song because it's so intimate and personal. I think America's going to see a side of me that people haven't seen before." There are few words that more aptly describe this performance besides just "Wow." She was simply amazing, and her emotion was great. She totally owned it. She started to cry towards the end, which made it even more powerful. Adam reminded her, "We tried to match what you did with that moment in 'Dream On.' Not many people know this song, so it was your turn to deliver it. It's not a huge song, so the first time people hear it, might be from you. They all loved this song, and they loved you. We did our job." They certainly did. Amanda's was the best performance of the night.

Police often ask eyewitnesses to identify a suspect from a lineup or an array of photos. A lineup or photo array involves
placing a suspect or a photo of a suspect among people who are not suspected of committing the crime (fillers) and asking
the eyewitness to identify the perpetrator.
Misidentification by eyewitnesses has played a role in a high number of wrongful convictions and has led criminal justice
experts to look more closely at the effectiveness of identifying suspects from live and photographic lineups.

This house is beautiful,but it reminds me of the honeymoon
Place in breaking dawn. It's like she's trying to live like the
Movie. Like in her own fantasy world. I'm not a big fan of
Kristen Stewart. I feel sorry for Rob. She got caught cheating
this time but who knows how many times she cheated without
being caught. Who knows where she's been.

Hahaha.,,, Exactly what I was thinking. How dumb is he? Even if he is head over heels in love with her – once a cheater, always a cheater. Stupid of him, she only did this to help her career. She knew people were reacting negatively to her , she is an actress. Just not a very good one. She only changed her ways for publicity reasons,

the house is very open and beautiful. It reminds me of the house on Isle Esme. It's also great to see that Robert's very musical instrument found a home in the bedroom. I would love to see the both of them in a remake of Mr. and Mrs. Smith or War of the Roses. Keep soing what your doing…..I LOVE IT…….

A very nice house. The design looks like the house of the vampires in the first twilight saga. An open house. It is really inspiring to know about Kristen buying this house for herself. And sooner this will become their love nest again if ever their getting back together physically is REALLY TRUE. I hope that the news about their RECONCILIATION WILL LAST EVEN AFTER THE FINAL TWILIGHT SAGA IS SHOWN. Cant wait for november to see this vampire-werewolf story again

I love the house it is gorgeous. What happen to the house at Malibu that she bought with her mother. Now it is being said that Kristen bought this house a month after her and Rob separated so she could keep and eye on Rob.- COME ON. Wasn't she living with a friend while she was separated from Rob. Also wasn't Rob suppose to be staying at Reese Witherspoon's ranch after he separated from Kristen. According to another site she purchased this house just after her and Rob got back together. What is the truth about this house. Does anyone really know. What will happen to either her or Rob's house when they decide to live in one house only. Who will sell their house. I hope she keeps this house and they live there together. By the way where is BEAR while all this is going on. Who is looking after him at the moment.

I do find it amazing that if anyone watching them on national TV, where they put themselves, is critical of this couple's behavior, it must be "jealousy." Isn't that what your mother tells you when your peer group rejects you — for whatever reason? I'm sure that's what Jen's mother told her!

I wish jen would just cuss bill out just ONCE. show us some REAL TRUE emotion. Bill is so lazy and he isn't funny at all. He annoys the crapp outta jen and you can see it a lot on her face but she catches herself because she doesn't want to ruin her perfect life she produces and edits for TLC. Bill does do extravagant parties and things for Jen but before you keep saying awww awww he is so sweet STOP!! He spends jens money like water jen said bill is in charge of all the finances due to she is too busy at work she even stated she didn't know how much the nanny was costing her! If bill could get paid for how many hours he lays on the floor per day Jen could quit her job because eh would be a millionaire now the two books they did say did very well which I was surprised. Who wants to read that? Normal size people should not get advice books from little people. Our worlds are different we are treated differently I don't care who likes it or not it's the truth it was bill again looking to ride on jens gravy train tails bill isn't done with Jen yet, he has more ideas to make money off her up his little people sleeve just wait and see and I'm sure king will is going to be a national paid speaker if they ver get him speech therapy. And we'll zoey, just hang kiddo ur overlooked and yet you speak clearly and your appreciative and patent any hitting or bad behaviors Zooey learned al, from monster head king will Jen please just once show ur emotions you have all those terrible eye wrinkles b cause you smile all day long even if someone says oh that tree over there is green Jen does her ohhh woooowwwwwhoaaaa SMILE SMILE SMILE OVERSMILE . UGHHH CANT STAND IT cuss bills a$$ out tell him to get his lazy @$$ up off the floor and do something and not his usual he makes mess then Jen ends up cleaning it afte her 16 hour work day they don't need to adopt a third Jen knows she has her Third child his name is bill. And please TLC tell bill stop trying to sell to us viewers that bill is told daily that he looks exactly like BRAD PITT, Wtf told him that just tell us one person who would say something so far from the truth and so asanine. Even Stevie Wonder can tell u there is NO WAY!! When bill was doing that most awkward reposal on the bench on his one knee he takes the ring out Jen is staring at the ring and stupid bill made it cringeworthy it was awful he kept the ring for jen on HIS CHUBBY Vienna sausage pointer finger and kept pointing with it like he didn't know what to do with it Jen tried so hard to deal but she had no out. He ruins every surprise he ever plans for her every single one. When he got the green light for India him and will went and got some India music and got Jen an India sorry dress to put on top of jens luggage so when she got home that night after work that is how he was going to surprise her instead the galoot has will running around with the cell phone somewhere and bill never lets Jen see the dress on the couch for India he just says oh we got approved for India I couldn't believe it even my own husband who doesn't watch the show only looks up from his work he finishes at not get and he says things sometimes about what a putz Jen married and he said bill is extremely lazy and everything is all for will if my husband even said something then I know it's true because he could care less about them he is walking dead type show guy. My husband asked me how come the two of them ignore the little dark haired girl? I said that's actually zoey and they adopted her she is their daughter he said wow you wouldn't know it he said why does she play under the table or by the bathroom by herself he said anytime he's caught an episode with me it's always like that and that bill lays on the floor so much he is going to make an indent into the floor. Please Jen yell at bill show some real feelings or you are going to get cancelled as soon as these types of shows get to point of no truths, covering up truths, sugar coating etx, viewers are fickle they will turn the clicker and say adios. And that would mean bye bye baba money train. I see now why jens parents got outta there so fast they couldn't take bills crapp no more either u could see he annoyed the $hit outta her and I love jens dad he made sure to give zoey attention and loved her dearly he knw what. Was up also.

What I didn't like is Jen,Bill letting Will eating the icing from the Gingerbread house they're making and that it look like both Will and Zoey were drinking soda which in my opinions kids that young don't need soda especially if they're eating sugary icing from a gingerbread house.
the only reason Jen gave Zoey a pixie cut so she wouldn't have to brush Zoey hair every day and that Zoey had no say into wanting her hair cut.
Posted at 4:43 PM on April 27, 2016
Silenthill, I agree with you . . Jen cant be bothered with giving Zoey cute pigtails or ponytails with ribbons and bows so they give her the haircut of a 40 yr old. I just feel that Zoey already has a hard way to go because of her dwatfism, does she really need kids teasing her about her old lady hairstyle? and on top of that being spoiled and not made to say hello to people or thank you. At least try to present her otherwise as a normal, well-rounded child.

Bill is not normal when it comes to Will. He is way too (in to him) not in a dad way or a doting parent even. He gazes into that boys eyes hangs on each grunt point bad behavior is aplauded he is disgusting in kissing on lip why not forhead or shake young man hands and teach strong skill it looks not normaloksasonnnn Jen u r mama say No to husband dont kiss my son. Also when boy hit and beat mama and baby sister you must spank his bum he too big too mean too greedy bad one.

Since when has baba been normal he is strange and makes so much more work for Jen I never saw a man lay on a floor as much as baba does and don't start with the back stuff his surgery is done and he's been laying on the floor for years no wonder his back went downhill dr probably found carpet in there.

Julie, you are being kind by only calling Zoe's cut a hack job. Do you hear how Jen just goes on a don and on and well, on about her hairstylist Grayson? Omg really? He wouldn't get within 10 feet of my hair or kids hair. And everything they do is top dollar imagine what she paid for her horrifying dark dye job and Zoe's hack job? And I'm sure a hefty tip to Edward Scissorhands Greyson. Why did bill feel the need to in his words "ponder" zoey while they were gone getting haircuts he felt the need after his pondering at home to call jens cell while she was in the hair salon chair and TELL JEN get zoey the pixie too because I like it on you so I want it on zoey also. Ughh puke!! He should have just said the truth…Jen please have Zoe's hair cut exactly like my only whoops, other child will's haircut. That's all Greyson did except will got scissors used and greyson used the lawn mower on Zoeys. I think it was snickers on here that commented how unusual bill looks into will's eyes he does do that its weird. I have noticed will isn't into the kissing baba no more on the lips when baba asks for a kis which is 30 times a day, will kisses baba on his cheek now or sometimes even ignores the request altogether. Amen. He never started that stuff with zoey so she got off the hook thank God. They will be 6 and 5 this year and I can understand zoeys speech but I still have a hard time understanding will. He speaks as a 3 year old does. Bill still pushes to the viewers that's since will's ear surgery and schooling his speech has exponentially improved??? Heh?? When he had that rock him and bill were cracking open he ran it inside to Jen and says to jen I got hide rock safe place I got hide rock. Jen never corrected him he should have said I need to hide my rock in a safe place. If zoey came in and did same scene Jen would have corrected zoey faster than you can ever imagine. There are a lot of different views as to why will is treated so differently than zoey and someone posted its because they got will first. That may be the reason but that should have changed by now. Zoey can feel it and see it kids are smart little sponges and Jen is no dummy book wise but common sense forget it. Anyone could see that she got robbed by her hairstylist with that dark dye job he did to her. That was horrible to even let her leave the salon with what he called "fixed" my @ss!! And why do people expect will and zoey to have good haircuts that Greyson needs to be put back to the hair washing station stat dr Jen. I wonder how much clientele he has lost since all these screw ups. Hair cuttery stylists do excellent cut and color for a good price and people will actually hide the fact they go to,the hair cuttery I don't get that. TLC needs to keep showing the salons sign like they do while,filming so people are warned to at least ask for a different person to cut their hair or color it. I'm not being mean again this is a place for opinions and that's my opinion along with what I have seen are also same as many others.

I dont agree with the comments about Jill and Jessa. They have NEVER proclaimed to beore than what they are. When Josh screwed up they were honest about their disappointment in him and never ever tried to make excuses for him like Jen & Bill do. They are polite and down-to-earth people
Posted at 2:12 PM on April 7, 2016
I believe the pixie haircut on Zoey was Jen's idea — Bill just took the fall for it when it turned out to be unpopular — to continue the narcissistic "mini-me" theme. When Jen later went so far as to dye her own hair to match Zoey's color, that clinched it for me. Jen doesn't physically take care of the kids herself anyway (you don't think she actually bathes them?), so how easy or hard the hairdo is to take care of wouldn't matter; that would be the grandparents' or nannies' job anyway.

Really??? What is this, the "Little Couple" hater Blog?
The Klein's had their show for nearly 5 years before having kids. The comment about the parents using these kids as "Cash Cows" is ludicrous. Jen makes over $300,000 per year at the Hospital as well as nearly $250,000 as a Public Speaker. Bill owns a successful business rumored to have a Net Profit of over $400,000 per year. I really doubt they need any money from the Show or their Books.
Why does everyone think they know best how to raise these two children? No parent is perfect at raising their children but I think Bill and Jen are doing an EXCELLENT job and no one has the right to criticize them. I'm actually thankful that they have agreed to share their lives with the world. Jen's Cancer, Bill's Surgery, Etc. On top of that you see that Bill and Jen are two of the most generous people and they are teaching their children the value of helping others. Several times they have taken the kids to the Hospital to give gifts to other Children.
Don't criticize this family or their motives until you actually know what you're talking about. As a personal friend of the Klein's I can say for a FACT that their motives are pure and they have nothing but the best intentions.
Posted at 11:48 AM on April 5, 2016
omg we cant certainly tell youre a friend many people have cancer have had worse surgery and have been adopted from far worse conditions.They make excuses for everything .especialy when it comes to how the children behave. They are going to have their hands full if they do not correct it now. you do not need do buy children for love after all the se children are going to grow and all I can say is DNA DNA DNA. They are so spoiled they bite hit and other not so nice things.i am a parent and I know what I have seen and it does not look good And by the way they choose to share their lives therefore we should feel free to say what we want
Posted at 4:00 PM on April 7, 2016
What is Bill's successful business? Just curious, because I thought he sold his share of the NY business. You mean the pet store, which he co-owns with Dave, makes $400k a year? It's true that they don't need the money the kids bring in, but for some people there is never enough of it.
Are you a personal friend of the Kleins or one of the Kleins or perhaps a TLC intern?
At any rate, any adults who put themselves — and their children — on display is opening the door to criticism as well as praise. They are not deities, so it's not blasphemous to find fault with them.
Posted at 7:09 PM on April 8, 2016
I have no doubt these two have the best intentions. As human beings they are awesome and inspirational. However, as parents they are an epic fail. They don't physically abuse the kids, but they neglect to give the children structure and discipline. These two things are of extreme importance. The kids have enough problems and now entitlement, food obsession, no manners taught, and parents that laugh at extreme over the top horrible behavior added to their existing problems is going to create unproductive people that nobody will want to be around. That is abuse of a different kind but it's just as destructive. Bills obsession with will is not normal. That poor child has more problems than his stature, but as long as they think he is above average, he won't get help. Bill thinks very highly of himself. Most people think he is lazy and using Jen. Great people, horrible parents. The truth hurts. Don't put your life on display and exploit innocent children if you don't want feedback.

I must admit I was hooked on The Little Couple. I was even more hooked after the Children's adoptions and began watching over and over.
This is when I realized it was starting to get on my nerves. Will was definitely turning into a prime spoiled brat. I started to cringe at his tantrums and his poor speech. His parents did not control their "son" and when both kids were going back to school Will stole (yes stole) some Goldfish from the fridge. He opened the package and started eating them while warning his parents not to come near him and to go away. Jen decided to ignore Will because they would be late for school. (It was not mentioned after this and will ate the entire packet.). He appears to be a devious child who is also greedy. Now while Zoey is cuter she also has a mean streak and is prone to having a temper.
Another thing that drives me absolutely crazy involves Bill. Every time Bill picks something up, or picks a child up he seems to want to growl or groan. This was something he rarely did before the children arrived. Now he does it all the time. I could scream!

Rage Quitters[ Edited ]
I know theres bunch of threads about rage quitters already however this has really become a larger problem with the recent introduction of stats. I've been seeing a large amount of players quitting out of matches to avoid bad stats that would have resulted from them having stayed till the end. It's pretty annoying when they leave early / mid game.
Re: Rage Quitters
Re: Rage Quitters
Almost evey MOC I've played in the last few days at least one person has quit. I've seen a few people quit after their first death. They don't want to play if their not going to win.

Re: Rage Quitters
Easy to fix if SSM decides to:
If you quit during a game you will not be able to join another on in 15 minutes. Hopefully ragequiters will start getting bored of waiting in the lobby and will start to see the advantages of actually trying to make a comeback instead of leaving and queueing up for another match.
