Many people think that to learn English (and specifically American English) means to learn vocabulary, grammar, consonants and vowels...
And while that is part of learning American English, and helps form a basic foundation on which you build your American English skills, if you want to be understood like a native speaker, it is imperative that you improve and perfect your rhythm and stress.
By means of pauses in our speech, we can divide all (except the shortest) of sentences into two or more parts, or thought groups. A thought group is a portion of a sentence set off from the rest by a pause or pauses.
When we make a pause in a sentence, it is for one of usually three reasons:
There are no set rules for the division of sentences into thought groups. Different people will emphasize different ideas and speakers vary as to their ability to talk without stopping for a breath. This does not mean that a pause may be made anywhere in a sentence. In general, no pause is made within closely related word groups. If pauses are made too often, the effect is choppy, hard to follow and unpleasant to listen to.
The ESL speaker's most frequent error with pauses is the failure to organize their sentences into thought groups.
Learning to use stress properly will help you become a more confident American English speaker. Stress in speaking means that a speaker makes a syllable or word: louder, longer, and/or higher in pitch.
3 Easy rules to follow for learning to correctly stress syllables in American English when you speak.
Research has shown that learning to correctly stress syllables the way North American native speakers do is one of the MOST effective ways to improving your communication skills in American English.
Working with a coach can greatly improve your ability to stress correct syllables AND improve your rhythm and people WILL be able to better understand you.
We will further discuss stress next week with an expanded post about the Basic Concepts of Intonation. Don't miss it!

Humpback Whale in Distress Off Maui
A humpback whale is in distress off Maui. A marine rescue team is asking for your help in finding a whale with rope wrapped around its tail flukes. It was last seen with a large, green polypropylene line restraining it. The Pacific Whale Foundation spotted the whale at 4 p.m. yesterday about one-and-a-half miles outside Lahaina Harbor. If you see the whale, call (888) 256-9840.

B-cell lymphoma-extra large (Bcl-xl) is a transmembrane molecule in the mitochondria. Bcl-xL (BCL2L1) , belongs to the Bcl-2 family. Members of the bcl-2 family encode proteins that function either to promote or to inhibit apoptosis. Antiapoptotic members such as Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL prevent PCD in response to a wide variety of stimuli to take part in cancer survival. Conversely, proapoptotic proteins, exemplified by Bax and Bak, can accelerate death and in some instances are sufficient to cause apoptosis independent of additional signals. The crystal and solution structures of a Bcl-2 family member, Bcl-xL is like this: The structures consist of two central, primarily hydrophobic α-helices, which are surrounded by amphipathic helices. A 60-residue loop connecting helices αl and α2 was found to be flexible and non-essential for anti-apoptotic activity. Bcl-xL is chareacterized as important factors in autophagy, inhibiting Beclin 1-mediated autophagy by binding to Beclin 1. In addition, Beclin 1, Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL can cooperate with Atg5 or Ca2+ to regulate both autophagy and apoptosis. Bcl-xL is also implicated in anoxia induced cell death. The pathway is initiated by the loss of function of the prosurvival Bcl-2 family members Mcl-1 and Bcl-2 / Bcl-XL, resulting in Bax- or Bak-dependent release of cytochrome c and subsequent caspase-9-dependent cell death. Thus, Bcl-xL, the well-characterized apoptosis guards, appears to be important in cell death.

Analyzing structural and social determinants of health in order to to effect change and promote health justice
Fall 2015 – Spring 2016
"Never doubt that a small, group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has." ~ Margaret Mead
The AMSA Academy Scholars Program in Public Health will help AMSA members develop tools of public health analysis and action to examine and address the structural and social determinants of health. The program will include a series of interactive, faculty-led webinars, with leading scholars in the innovative field of "structural competency". Through an examination of history and modern day case studies, students will develop a framework for understanding community health needs, the roots of health inequity, and avenues for action to improve population health at the structural and systemic level. Students will also be asked to start a year-long community engagement project in their local area (the community could include their medical school class, their academic institution, their local community, or even an issue-based national community). The students will be asked to plan, implement and evaluate this program with guidance from the Public Health Scholars Coordinator.
Tentative Curriculum
Topics may include:
- Developing a critical understanding of health care system using a structural competency framework
- Historical roots of racism and exclusion in health care
- Neighborhood health and housing policy
- School to prison pipeline
- Nutrition and obesity
- Access to generic medicines and global health
- Occupational health and labor law
- Immigrant health and history of immigration policy
- Examining power dynamics in community Partnerships
- Women's health and access to care
- Structural Competency in medical education: avenues for curricular reform
- Physician action at the structural/systemic level
Learning Objectives
By the end of the year, students should be able to:
- Identify and describe one major public health topic and how it impacts their local community
- Identify the historical and policy determinants of that topic
- Define the community that they are working with and identify at least one community partner
- Identify and analyze the race, gender and class dimension of this partnership
- Develop a plan for addressing the issue at hand; implement and evaluate the plan
- Involve community members in as much of the planning, implementation, and evaluation as possible given the time constraints
Program Structure
The Public Health Scholars Program includes four main components:
- Bimonthly faculty-led webinars with accompanying short readings or video clips
- Student-led topic discussions following the webinars
- Plan, implement and evaluate a local community capstone project
- Submit a write-up and evaluation of their project for AMSA Academy to review for certification
Tentative Schedule
Participant Expectations
- Attend bimonthly online webinars
- Participate in the 15 minute student-led discussions following the webinars
- Complete short readings or watch video clips prior to the webinar sessions
- Plan, implement and evaluate a local community capstone project
- Submit a write-up of their project including evaluation materials for AMSA Academy to review
- Fill out evaluation surveys upon completion of the program
Overall expected time commitment for program, including community project, is 2-3 hours per week.
Who Should Apply?
Medical and premedical students who are interested in topics related to public health, health justice and the social and environmental determinants that underlie health disparities are encouraged to apply.
Each Public Health Scholar must be a member of AMSA at the start of the program. Information about registration and membership is available here.

What is the role of Remembrance Day, November 11, for Australians in the 21st century? Since the end of World War I, Australians have faced questions around the purpose of Remembrance Day. Remembrance Day is Armistice Day, and the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month marks the moment peace was declared. As a day of peace it should have universal appeal, but its future is far from certain.
Not that long ago all traffic lights turned to red and all schools and workplaces stopped to mark the two-minute silence. Most citizens wore red poppies on Remembrance Day.
Today, apart from politicians, Department of Defence personnel and the odd primary school student, poppy wearing is distinctly absent in the broader community.
The importance of Remembrance Day was instilled in 1919 by King George V's request that the peoples of the British Empire stop to recognise the armistice ''which stayed the worldwide carnage of the four preceding years and marked the victory of Right and Freedom''.
The following year the remains of unknown soldiers were interred in Westminster Abbey in London and at the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. With these acts, Remembrance Day took on an international flavour. In the United States of America, November 11 became Veterans Day and in France and Belgium, November 11 is a national holiday. It is this internationalisation that means Remembrance Day's future has been, and will continue to be, overshadowed by Anzac Day in Australia.
When faced with the commemoration of war dead in the 1923 Melbourne meeting of the Religious Society of Friends, or Quakers - a faith that is committed to non-violence and peace - it was decided that ''Anzac Day, apart from Australian heroism, represented at best a historic instance of bungling and incapacity in high places.
Armistice Day, despite its ultimate outcome of disappointment, stood for the possibility of larger international relationships based upon generosity''. The logical reasoning of the Melbourne Quakers is as valid now as it was then.
Anzac Day is invasion day and marks the real beginning of Australia's military tradition. This is particularly bizarre when in 1914 Australians had gone to war under the principles of ''truth'', ''justice'', ending ''German militarism'', and the ''defence of Empire'' - the first three terms are ambiguous and were never explained to the Australian community.
Despite the inconvenient truth that an invasion of the Ottoman Empire (Turkey) was not an attack on German militarism, only months after the landing on April 25, 1915, there were calls to make April 25 a national holiday. Connections between the words ''Anzac Day'' and ''sacred'' were commonplace in 1915, and by 1916 the two were inseparably linked.
The fact that Anzac Day is a holiday in Australia is the deciding factor. From 1916 onwards, Anzac Day was a statement about Australian identity above and beyond remembrance of the dead. The convergence of Remembrance Day with Anzac Day is clear when we look at different official statements on commemoration.
The Australian War Memorial takes a broad approach to Remembrance Day, maintaining the international spirit as being ''in memory of those who died or suffered in all wars and armed conflicts'', yet the Australian government cites former governor-general William Deane's 1997 proclamation that Remembrance Day was about ''the sacrifice of those who died or otherwise suffered in Australia's cause in wars and war-like conflicts.''
In Australia we too easily use remembrance to define our Australian identity and miss the opportunity to reflect on the tragedy of violence. Maybe the 1923 Quaker approach to remembrance is more fitting for a globalised world.
Dr Gareth Knapman is a Research Fellow and project manager for the History of Anzac Day ARC Project, National Centre for Australian Studies at Monash University.

A New Way To Conceal Those Delicious Looking Tide Pods
One of the more notable innovations in the laundry aisle in recent years has been the introduction of pods. The single-serve detergent capsules have been a major hit: easier to use, less waste, and less potential for mess, kind of like the single-serve coffee pod of the laundry detergent world.
The only problem? They look delicious. The transparent pods, bulging with a colored liquid, have enough of a candy-like vibe about them that some children decide to take a bite, with 6,216 cases reported to poison centers in 2012. That was when Procter & Gamble, maker of the Tide Pods, first decided to change the packaging to include a double latch lid that would be harder for inquisitive little hands to crack open.
That didn't seem to slow the pace of pod-gobbling, because in the first six months of 2012, another 4,868 cases were reported. The numbers cover incidents involving all laundry pods, not just those made by Tide, although Procter & Gamble has estimated its brands control about 75% of the market for single-serve detergent.
So with those colorful pods still finding their way into curious little mouths, Tide announced a second packaging change on Thursday.
More on this after the jump…

Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. said Wednesday he openly sought appointment to Barack Obama's Senate seat but denied offering favors in return to Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich and said he was not involved "whatsoever in any wrongdoing."
A lawyer for Jackson acknowledged that the Illinois Democrat is "Senate Candidate 5" in the 76-page federal complaint filed against Blagojevich, who was arrested Tuesday. Wiretapped conversations suggest Blagojevich felt the candidate would raise campaign money for him in exchange for being appointed to the Senate seat vacated by the president-elect.
Jackson, a seven-term House member and son of civil rights activist Jesse Jackson, told reporters in Washington that he spoke with the U.S. attorney's office Tuesday.
"They shared with me that I am not a target of the investigation and that I am not accused of any misconduct," said Jackson, who left the crowded session without taking questions.
U.S. attorney's spokesman Randall Samborn would not confirm or deny Jackson's assertions.
Blagojevich, a second-term Democrat, is accused of scheming to enrich himself by selling Obama's open seat for cash or a lucrative job for himself or his wife. The federal complaint says that in a wiretapped conversation on Oct. 31, Blagojevich described an approach "by an associate of Senate Candidate 5."
The governor was quoted as saying the person made a "pay to play" proposal, a term for a payment in exchange for a political favor. "That, you know, he'd raise me 500 grand" for future political campaigns, the governor said in the wiretapped conversation.
Blagojevich went on to say, "An emissary came. Then the other guy would raise a million, if I made" Jackson a senator. The complaint did not specify whether the $500,000 and $1 million would have been raised by the same person.
Jackson said Wednesday: "I did not initiate nor authorize anyone, at any time, to promise anything to Gov. Blagojevich on my behalf. I never sent a message or an emissary to the governor to make an offer or to propose a deal about the U.S. Senate seat."
He said he would fully cooperate with the investigation.
Jackson's Chicago-based lawyer, James D. Montgomery Sr., said, "Politicians and fundraisers do some very strange things from time to time. I wouldn't put it past someone to be purporting to represent Jesse without authority."
Jackson said he met with Blagojevich on Monday in Chicago for 90 minutes to discuss the Senate vacancy. It was their first meeting in about four years, he said.
"I presented my record, my qualifications and my vision," Jackson said. "Despite what he may have been looking for, that's all I had to offer."
The federal complaint cites an intercepted Blagojevich conversation on Dec. 4. In it, the complaint alleges, the governor told an unidentified adviser "that he was giving Senate Candidate 5 greater consideration for the Senate seat because, among other reasons, if Rod Blagojevich ran for re-election, Senate Candidate 5 would 'raise money' for him."
It alleges that Blagojevich said he might get some money "up front, maybe" from the Senate hopeful "to insure Senate Candidate 5 kept his promise about raising money" for the governor.
On Wednesday, Jackson called on Blagojevich to resign and said he was appalled "by the pay-to-play schemes hatched at the highest levels of Illinois state government."
Associated Press writer Adam Goldman in Chicago contributed to this report.

How does it feel to be awarded the breakthrough performer award at Surfer Poll?
I went to the Surfer Poll awards the year before in California just as a spectator, this year I went being nominated. I never thought I'd be going up there to accept that award, especially looking at what all the other athletes had achieved in the year. It was quite a humbling experience. It means a lot to my career as a surfer and it felt good to be recognized as a pro casual surfer.
So you weren't prepared?
I was pretty disorganized coming into the night, I didn't have any nice clothes and had no shoes thanks to Travis Logie a few nights prior. I ended up borrowing some shoes and got myself to Turtle Bay. It was pretty daunting walking in there with tons of cameras and hundreds of people around but I managed to walk away from the night not having pee'd my pants. It was pretty rad having it in Hawaii this year and the passing of Andy made it a very emotional night but really special in a way.
How did you lose your shoes?
That was a interesting night. Myself, Trav Logie, Jordy [Smith] and Damien Fahrenfort went to a "car party," or that's what I was calling it. In Hawaii car dealerships throw these shindigs with plenty of awesome tasting cocktails. Trav had a few too many and on the way home we we're wresting in the back of the Audi, the li'l guy somehow got my shoes off and threw them out the window. That was the last I saw of them. We went to Lei Lei's to party on and Damien lent me one shoe which was a size 12. That didn't really work. We got the boot and sat in the car park for the rest of the night.
What's the plan for next year?
I'm just taking it at it comes. I'm going back to South Africa for the first two weeks of January to hang out with some friends and family and to do some filming. Then I got a trip to Morocco with Dane [Reynolds], Dan Malloy, and Alex Knost, which is being documented by some super cool dudes which is exciting. Then I'm going up to Byron to hang with Dion [Agius] and Jordy to film for Kai [Neville]'s movie Lost Atlas for the month of February. That's as far as I got planned but definitely going to try to stay busy all year. I'd also like to travel to some weird countries, read some books and buy a car that works.
Anything new or exciting happening with your boards? I noticed you had some fun looking boards on the North Shore this winter…
I'm pretty useless when it come to surfboards. I've been riding a lot of funky little boards lately and I'm struggling to get off them because they're so fun to ride. But yeah, just going to stick to the fun boards when the waves are lame and ride the normal ones when it's good.

FHWA Administrator Testifies That Growing Traffic Congestion Threatens Nation's Economy, Quality of Life
In testimony before the House Transportation and Infrastructure's Subcommittee on Highways and Transit, Federal Highway Administrator Mary E. Peters today said that increased traffic congestion is a growing threat to the nation's economy and to the quality of life of all Americans.
In testimony before the subcommittee, which conducted the hearing Tuesday on "Relieving Highway Congestion through Capacity Enhancements and Increased Efficiency," Peters said the U.S. Department of Transportation's goal is to provide the American people with a transportation system that is safe, secure and efficient.
Congestion must be addressed with a long-term strategy to increase capacity, make the system more efficient and preserve the nation's system of roads and bridges, Peters said.
"As (U.S. Transportation) Secretary (Norman Y.) Mineta has said, mobility is one of our greatest freedoms," Peters said. "Unless we manage highway congestion, our nation will continue to incur economic costs in forgone productivity, wasted fuel, and a reduced quality of life. Strategic expansion of our transportation system capacity is necessary in certain instances to address our existing and growing mobility needs."
"When we take appropriate action to address our mobility needs, we can also improve the safety and security of our system and enhance our natural and human environment," Peters said.
"Conversely, we find that we experience decreased safety and a degraded environment when we do not address critical needs on our highway system," Peters continued. "Congestion and bottlenecks damage air quality, slow commerce, increase energy consumption and threaten our quality of life. They waste significant time and money, and they reduce productivity."
She said one of the major reasons for increased traffic congestion is that the system has not kept pace with the growing demands placed on it.
For example, from 1980 to 2000, highway travel increased 80 percent and the number of drivers increased by 30 percent while highway mileage increased only 2 percent. At the same time, 84 percent of the nation's $7 trillion in freight traffic travels on highways, with truck travel expected to grow by more than 3 percent annually over the next 20 years.
In addition, the number of drivers is increasing slightly faster than overall population, and each driver on average is traveling more miles each year. At present, 91 percent of all person-miles traveled in the United States occur in private vehicles on highways. Although passenger travel growth is expected to slow, it nonetheless will grow more than 40 percent over the next two decades.
"Increased capacity, improved efficiency, and proper system preservation have positive effects on the environment, safety, and security of our nation's highways," she said.
Peters stressed that the physical condition of America's transportation infrastructure is improving, in part because of increased federal funding from the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 (ISTEA) and the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21).
However, a recent Texas Transportation Institute (TTI) study estimates the cost of congestion in just 68 urban areas has grown from $21 billion in 1982 to $78 billion in 1999 (36 hours per driver a year and 6.8 billion gallons of wasted fuel). The TTI study also estimated that congestion results in 4.4 billion person hours of delay annually in the 68 urban areas it studied.
Peters also testified that highway improvements, where appropriate, can help save lives and reduce traffic crashes.
"Highway improvements are sometimes the best way to reduce crashes, fatalities and injuries on our roads," Peters said. "Removing obstacles, installing barriers and rumble strips, adding passing lanes and widening shoulders will both improve safety and relieve congestion," Peters said.
To enhance the operation of highways, Peters called for increased coordination among agencies responsible for roadway operations, including traffic, public safety, parking, media, and emergency response agencies.
While adding capacity, the FHWA and state and local agencies will continue to work with other modes of transportation, environmental groups and other partners and stakeholders and remain good stewards of the environment.

They'll kidnap you and your entire family at night and will toture every last one of you if you sell bootlegs. True story, I heard it on the internet and I have a long lost uncle who works for ACen, so you know it's legit.

I don't see anything wrong with it if they can prove the con did not do enough to prevent the bootleg sales happening from a dealer in a dealer room the con is responsible for.
Can't say that I am versed in the dealings of Funimation or a similar importer, but I'm sure they have to protect their own intellectual property rights and those who they distribute. It may seem to be a bit heavy handed by I'm sure they have contracts and partnerships overseas that they have to aggressively protect.

Mountebank, with thy pedantical action—Rimatrix, bugloss, Rhinoceros!
The leaves of the Viper's bugloss are rough and hairy, with smooth edges.
The Viper's bugloss is a stout, upright plant, with a curious pale green hairy stem, which is dotted all over with red spots.
The bugloss belongs to what may be called beautiful weeds, despite its rough and bristly stalk.
The angle of a field by the woods on the eastern side of the heath, the entire corner, is blue in July with viper's bugloss.
I have seen the Viper's bugloss often since that day on the railroad train, now that I know it, and think of it.
A species of bugloss, cultivated chiefly in the neighbourhood of Montpellier.
Like Gerard, he does not question the efficacy of borage, bugloss and many other herbs to promote happiness.
The first thing you will notice about the Viper's bugloss is the way the rows of flower-buds curl like a scorpion.
It was viper's bugloss—a stray, I told her, shifting my head uneasily beneath her scrutiny.

Donald Sterling calls the NBA 'a band of hypocrites and bullies' in angry statement
Disgraced Clippers owner Donald Sterling issued an extended statement Tuesday, declaring his intention to try and derail the agreement to sell the Clippers negotiated by his wife, Shelly Sterling, and former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer, while also using some harsh rhetoric in criticizing the NBA.
Sterling, who received a lifetime ban and a $2.5 million fine from NBA commissioner Adam Silver after an audio recording that captured Sterling making a series of racist remarks became public, called the NBA "a band of hypocrites and bullies" and referred to the league as "despicable monsters."
The full text of Sterling's screed -- published by CNN -- is below.
June 10, 2014
I was brought up in America and educated to believe that every citizen has a right to privacy and right to freedom of speech. As a lawyer and citizen, I am shocked (but not surprised) that the NBA wants to take away those fundamental rights.
I feel that every American has to protect those rights and that the NBA should not be allowed to take away those rights. I have apologized for my mistakes. My apology is sincere. I want every American to know that I will not give up fighting for those rights.
I also feel that the leadership of the NBA is incompetent, inexperienced and angry. It is clear that they took this opportunity to settle the personal grievances they have harbored against me for years.
The NBA has a history of discriminatory practices which is supported by the numerous lawsuits filed by NBA employees claiming gender based discrimination. Adam Silver has worked for the NBA since 1992. He must know about the discriminatory practices of the NBA which are all matters of public record. The reason Adam Silver is focused on the sale, instead [of] the larger social issue, is because doing so would require him to examine the NBA's own discriminatory practices, including those that occurred under his many years in leadership. If the NBA is sincere about their approach, Adam Silver needs to publicly examine the NBA's own conduct and the conduct of each and every Owner.
For now, it seems Adam Silver is content with focusing his energy on violating my rights, attempting to take my property, and signing autographs for TMZ. Maybe once the dust settles, he will have some time to focus on the NBA's own transgressions.
The NBA continues to thrive and exact its reign of terror in large part from the money it receives from the Fans. The NBA is a band of hypocrites and bullies. They will not stop until someone stands up. They have taken the liberty to desecrate my privacy rights and my right to own property. I have no doubt that they will continue to find new ways to violate my rights and the rights of any person in order to draw attention away from their discriminatory and repulsive conduct.
We have to fight for the rights of all Americans. We have to fight these despicable monsters. THIS IS THE REASON I WILL NOT SELL MY TEAM.
Donald T. Sterling
Shelly Sterling and Ballmer reached agreement on a $2 billion sale price for the Clippers earlier this month. That agreement includes indemnification for the league from potential legal action brought by Donald Sterling. Reports have also indicated that Donald Sterling, 80, has been ruled "mentally incapacitated" due to dementia, but Sterling's legal counsel has pushed back against those statements.
The Associated Press reports Tuesday that Shelly Sterling head to court in California on Wednesday hoping to confirm her legal right to sell the Clippers.
Shelly Sterling contends she is the sole trustee of The Sterling Family Trust, which owns the team. Donald Sterling was stripped as co-trustee after two neurologists last month determined he was suffering from dementia and ''mentally incapacitated'' under the trust's conditions, according to a person who is familiar with the trust and the medical evaluations but could not speak publicly.
The aim of Sterling's court bid is to have a judge confirm provisions of the family trust to ensure the Ballmer sale moves forward without a hitch. Donald Sterling has the right to present his side at any hearing and appeal any decision.
Speaking at his annual Finals press conference before Game 2 of the Finals in San Antonio, Silver acknowledged that Donald Sterling's pending litigation against the NBA was one of the hurdles that needed to be overcome before Ballmer could officially become the new owner of the Clippers.
Silver made it clear that he would not consider lifting Donald Sterling's lifetime ban or reducing the $2.5 million fine he levied against Sterling.
McCANN: What's next for Sterling, NBA in lawsuit?
"There is absolutely no possibility that the lifetime ban will be rescinded or that the fine will be changed in any way," Silver said.
Additionally, he revealed that he spoke with a "distraught" Sterling shortly after levying the lifetime ban, noting that Sterling "was not remorseful at that time."

G'day sunshine, you're late
Page Tools
Up at dawn
Clare, Lucy, Harry and Nicholas and their father
Michael have morning routines ruled by the sun.
Photo: Lisa Wiltse
It's 5.20am and the Wigney triplets are rising and shining. But their parents, Sally and Michael, are decidedly brassed off, counting the days until daylight saving.
By 6.30 the entire household is up. "We're absolutely exhausted," said Sally, mother of Lucy, 9, and the eight-year-old triplets Clare, Harry and Nicholas.
"They're staying up later too, and by the time we get to school we've been up four hours already. By 3 o'clock in the afternoon we're all exhausted."
The Wigneys, who live in Gladesville, are not alone in their belief that daylight saving comes too late to NSW. Even the Premier, Morris Iemma, is not immune from the scourge of the 5am sunrise in the weeks before daylight savings begins. At the Iemma household the blazing sunlight has his four children, aged two to seven, out of bed before 6am, an hour earlier than usual. And so are the parents.
"The Iemma household is always busy in the mornings," he said. "It now gets busier earlier."
The good news for the Wigneys and the Iemmas is that daylight saving will finish a week later this summer, so that NSW keeps step with Victoria during the Commonwealth Games in March. And yesterday the Prime Minister, John Howard, supported the idea of NSW and Victoria joining Tasmania in starting daylight saving a month earlier.
Last week the State Government passed amendments to legislation making it easier to change the hours of daylight saving. But despite his insights into the plight of many parents in NSW with small children, Mr Iemma said he had no plans to bring forward the start of daylight saving.
That is is a relief to the Deshons of Coonabarabran, north-east of Dubbo, who believe "city people just don't get it". On Monday, after daylight saving begins, Ben and Kylie Deshon will wake Sally, 6, in darkness at 6.15am, to make it to the school bus stop by 7.30. The trip to school and back takes three hours. The same routine awaits Hannah, 4, and eight-month-old Isobelle.
Mr Deshon said Sally still had to go to bed "in broad daylight at seven o'clock, to get up in time in the morning. It shortens her sleep period."
Professor Frank Oberklaid, the director of the Centre for Community Child Health at the Royal Children's Hospital in Melbourne, said there was no clinical evidence that daylight saving or early morning rising affected children's mental or physical health. "But of course there's lots of anecdotal evidence on its effect on parents."

BALI UPDATE #446 - 28 March 2005
Gary Rosen: In Praise of Slow Food
Balidiscovery.com Talks to the Conrad Bali Resort's Chief of Culinary Operations A Man Who Likes His Food Slow, Easy and True to its Roots.
On a recent extended visit to Bali's luxurious 313-room
Conrad Bali Resort and Spa,
Editor managed to personally sample each of the resort's main restaurants and also catch up with the man who's turning heads among Bali diners Gray Rosen, Director of Culinary Operations and the Resort's Executive Chef.
Gary Rosen
With nearly 30 years of professional kitchen experience acquired in locales as gastronmically diverse as Israel, Australia, Thailand, China, Vietnam, Guatemala, South Korea and Bali Chef Gary Rosen has prepared food for kings and commoners alike and along the way has come to know and understand what he believes works and what doesn't in pleasing the discerning palate.
In Praise of Slow Food
An enthusiastic proponent of the
Slow Food
movement Gary Rosen counts himself a member of that large and increasing organized group that opposes the globalization of foods and tastes by defending the need for consumer information, organic ingredients, the cultivation of distinctive culture identities in food and gastronomic traditions, and animal and plant biodiversity worldwide.
Fusion is Confusion - Anyone For a Double Patty, Extra Cheese, Tempe Burger?
In Rosen's view, modern efforts to "fuse" differing food traditions into new
taste sensations
often result in "confusion"- typically stacked precariously atop a plate in montages of colorful and competing varying "edible" layers of eclecticism.
"Fusion is confusion," says Rosen, preferring instead a
approach to food preparation.
Hearing the often-used and much-abused "Zen" word, we asked increduously, "A
approach to food?" Rosen defended his stance, explaining that to his view
what's not on a plate
is sometimes equally important as
what's on the plate.
Good food, insists Rosen, should be simple, honest and useful a pleasurable reward for the senses capable of instilling a feeling of overall well-being. Like those dishes fondly remembered from our childhood years, good food - modern or otherwise, should invariably follow the example set by our mothers' kitchens which always strove to please and nourish, giving food's ability to dazzle and impress a factor of much lesser importance.
Chefs as Artists
In a comment with the potential to bruise the well-fed egos of any kitchen
prima donna,
Rosen claims that good chefs are artisans and not artists. Artists, he contends, make items of absolute beauty but of no practical value while, on the other hand, artisans face the double challenge of creating items of practical value that are also aesthetically pleasing.
Following his Zen-like philosophy, Chef Rosen educates his kitchen brigade to always try to limit each dish to 3 or 4 main ingredients, allowing the very highest quality of produce, meat, seafood and poultry available prepared to perfection to speak for themselves.
Dining at the Conrad
Those seeking to put Chef Rosen's philosophy to the test need look no further than the Resorts three main dining outlets -
Spice, 8 Degrees South,
The Resort's premier dining venue
is, by its very nature, sensual in its setting, seductive in its service, passionate in what it does, and eclectically exciting in its concept.
But, hold on a moment. How can a restaurant so attached to
slow food
culinary verite
be labeled
and still remain true to its pledge of ethnic purity?
The answer is found in
focused commitment to culinary consistency to each separate menu item it presents. While the entire memnu may represent a
tour de force
of global cuisine, each individual item on the menu, however, has its own separate ethnic identity drawn from the rich culinary traditions of North Africa, Middle East, Japanese, Chinese, Indian, Thai, or Australia.
Thus, while the entire course-to-course experience at
may have a wide raging and widely-traveled overall effect, each individual course represents a loyal rendering of a specific local gastronomic tradition. The results are stunning; comfort food able to reawaken culinary memories long lost to the well-traveled palates that frequent this restaurant.
Our favorite: a
7-Spice Quail Coriander
marinated in coriander, star anisette, cinnamon, smoked paprika,
raz el hanout
, mace, and ginger. The many spices comprising the marinade are combined with wine and crushed garlic before being pan-fried and finished off in an oven before arriving at the table in an understated presentation accompanied by lentils.
Now, after 9 months operations and firmly established as a "happening" venue on the local food scene,
is aiming to further cement its glowing reputation by inviting visiting celebrity chefs representing specific ethnic traditions to display their skills in combination with specially selected wines from the world's best vineyards.
8 Degrees South
Located in what is arguably Bali's most dramatic sea-side dining setting,
8 Degrees South
is described by Rosen as an "in your face Mediterranean seafood" restaurant. Oysters, mussels, crabs and other delicious sea bounty - all imported from the Pacific northwest are used to create menu selections such a local bouillabaisse, bowls of black mussels, and paella - each keeping amiable good company with wines from the Chef's personal sub-list of recommended wines drawn from the hotel extensive cellar.
- Indonesian for
is the name adopted for the
Conrad Resort's
casual all-day dining venue. And, like its two sister outlets,
has the same commitment to
slow food
emphasizing dishes drawn from a variety of cultural traditions to be enjoyed
with the friendly members of your
Whichever venue you select, be assured that looming somewhere nearby, is that full-ranking officer in the local
slow food police:
Chef Gary Rosen, providing the insights and orchestration that has made the
Conrad Bali Resort and Spa's
restaurants the talk of the Island.

A Most Remarkable Piano Man
Revolutionary Music Educator Set to Open ANTIM Piano School in Bali.
Born in Indonesia in 1948, Wei Tsin-Fu, who is also know by the name Jonathan Gunawan, was a precociously talented child musician who went on to perform on a number of international stages and is, today, perhaps the only Asian to have successfully establish a leading music academy in Europe.
An educator, who for time taught not only music but physics, chemistry and math, Wei eventually obtained an understanding on the interaction between the brain and the nervous system leading him to a revolutionary method of music education that engages both the right and left brain, the cerebellum, the bone marrow and the nervous system as a means of increasing human potential for thinking and learning.
The results of Wei's technique, now in use by students in over 30 countries worldwide and the cornerstone of his world-renowned Music Academy in Tübingen, Germany, are amazing. Students who practice for just 20-60 minutes a day using Wei's method are able to masterfully play Bach's "Prelude in C-Major" or complex jazz numbers after only 4 months of lessons. Students of tens years of age of younger are able to play from memory piano concertos by Beethoven, Grieg, Schumann, Brahms, Tchaikovsky, Ravel and Rachmaninoff after just 3 weeks of practice. One of his Jakarta students a 10 year old boy performed Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue" from memory after only 2 days practice before a mesmerized crowd at a Bali Concert (see accompanying picture on
) on Saturday, March 19, 2005 at the
Discovery Mall
No less remarkable, scores of students who have undergone the Wei method of piano study who entered the program at near-failure levels in their academic careers, very often undergo a complete transformation into "straight A" students just months after commencing this revolutionary music education program. According to Wei, by intensifying the physical cooperation between the right and left side of the brain, the right brain responsible for musical cognition benefits from and also supports the left side of the brain responsible for logical thinking.
Those with tortuous memories of the drudgery of force-fed piano lessons as a child take faith: Wei insists that whenever one of his students fails to enjoy and fully involve themselves in the learning process he considers it a failure of the teacher and not the student, causing the school to re-evaluate its teaching approach for that particular pupil. Even more heartening to those of us with latent musical tendencies is the news that Wei's oldest student is an 80 year-old former Minister of State said to be making rapid strides in his desire to master the piano.
Perhaps the best news is that Bali will soon join 15
Academies of Networked Thinking in Music (ANTIM)
now in operation on four Continents. The Bali academy will also be offering scholarships to deserving Balinese children in order to spread the benefits of his revolutionary music training technique.

North Bali Reef Project A Real Winner!
Pemuteran's Taman Sari Karang Lestari Project Wins PATA Gold and ASEANTA Awards for Environmental Excellence.
Led by Bali Tourism legend, Agung Prana who owns
Taman Sari Resort
at North Bali's Pemuteran Beach, the
Karang Lestari Pemuteran Project
is gaining increasingly international recognition as a model of community-based coral reef restoration and conservation.
The object of much positive media coverage, including the
Associated Press
and the
, the
Karang Lestari Pemuteran Project
also recently won much-deserved further recognition with awards for Conservation Excellence from
ASEAN Travel Association (ASEANTA)
and a
Pacific Asia Travel Association (PATA) Gold Award
in the environmental category.
The Project has successfully constructed a "win-win" scenario in which local fishermen are increasing their catches while the reefs surrounding the Pemuteran area are becoming one of Indonesia's main diving destinations. The villagers in the region have been quick to grasp the value of their eco-tourism incomes, the long-term benefits to the local environment, and the improved living standards of their families. Led and inspired by local community leaders, daily marine patrols with
Pecalang Laut
, or local marine guards, have largely eliminated detrimental bombing and cyanide poisoning methods for harvesting reef and aquarium fish.
Over a five year period from 199-2004, a stretch of barren coral reef has been transformed in a living reef system full of dense underwater populations of diverse marine organisms. The reefs have been brought back to life using
artificial reef frames that stimulate rapid reef growth 3 to 5 times faster than normal and increase coral survival by a factor of 16 to 50 times.
A Community Effort
Karang Lestari Pemturean Project
has local hotels, dive shops, village fisher folk, scientists and conservationists all working together under the sponsorship and guidance of
Taman Sari Resort
. With coral regeneration and fishing bans now in effect in the Bay, spinner dolphins have returned in significant numbers. As a result, local villagers now take visitors on dolphin-watching tours. Under the terms of a cooperative agreement, the local village retains rights to all snorkeling income from tourists. These lucrative income alternatives for the traditional fishing community reinforce a basic understanding that each fish has more value in the sea than in a net or on the end of a fishing line. And, with alternative income avenues available, former environmental destroyers have become avid proponents of conservation and eco-tourism, for economic and environmental benefit.
Yayasan Karang Lestari Pemuteran
Yayasan Karang Lestari Pemuteran
is a local non-government-organization founded by the owner of
Taman Sari Resort
in Pemuteran Bali, Mr. Agung Prana. Prana, who also owns a local travel company, is a traditional Balinese leader widely respected for his many contributions to Bali tourism. He is the past-chairman of the Bali Chapter of
Association of Indonesian Travel Agents (ASITA)
and the recipient of many national and international awards.
The Yayasan works together with the
Global Coral Reef Alliance (GCRA)
a non-profit organization based in Cambridge Massachusetts, USA, that pioneers modern coral reef restoration methods, conservation and sustainable management.
These two NGO's are dynamic and complementary. The award-winning community-based coral restoration project in Pemuteran Bali is becoming one of the world's major educational and experimental facilities to further coral reef regeneration, coastal protection and socialization of sustainable management of coral reef ecosystems for conservation and tourism development.

"We are delighted to have received such prestigious awards and recognition. It is a wonderful testament that the golfing community see our resort as a jewel in Asia," said Dietmar Kielnhofer, General Manager,
Le Méridien Nirwana Golf & Spa Resort
The 18-hole Greg Norman designed golf course is among Asia's most visually spectacular courses. The 72-par course features holes carved through terraced rice paddies and winding creeks. The site's natural features are preserved while creating some of golf's most dramatic holes and breathtaking vistas along the shoreline of the Indian Ocean and, in the distance, Bali's fabled
Pura Tanah Lot
The courses 7th hole is particularly challenging, requiring the golfer to hit a middle iron from the cliff side tee across an ocean inlet, to a well-guarded green.
A word to the wise: bring extra balls when you play this hole!

Inbound Chinese Tourism Market to Be Deregulated?
Government Set to Abandon Special Designation for Agencies Entitled to Handle Visiting PRC Visitors.
Labeling current practices limiting which Indonesian agencies are entitled to handle the inbound Chinese market as "semi-monopolistic," Indonesia's Minister of Culture and Tourism has pledge to review those regulations and open the Chinese market to service by all licensed Indonesian tour and travel agents in Indonesia.
As quoted in the Indonesian-language
Bisnis Indonesia
, Minister said, "We are going to re-evaluate the selection process for travel agents permitted to work with China, so that soon there will be no more limits - any agent can work with Chinese tourists."
The Minister was responding to comments by the Head of the
Association of Indonesian Travel Agents (ASITA)
for West Java, Yachya Machmoed, who said the earlier security rationales for "specialized" agents was no longer relevant and contributed to the very poor arrival numbers from the Chinese market for Indonesia. Currently, some 28 million Chinese people travel abroad from China every year, but only about 80,000 visit Indonesia.
Limitations Due to Regulations Imposed by Chinese Government
Meanwhile, Thamrin B. Bachri, the Deputy Minister for Capacity Building and International Cooperation from the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, explained that current limits placed on travel agents wanting to work with Chinese tourists are based on Chinese regulations.
Countries visited by their citizens must qualify for
"approved destination status,"
and travel agents that enter the Chinese market must fulfill certain criteria including, collaboration with a Chinese travel agent, employment of Mandarin-speaking guides, and cooperation only with certified souvenir shops. "Because the Chinese market is regulated in this way, it means that any changes must be made via government-to-government initiatives, and the travel agents that want to work in that market must have the required permits. Right now 89 travel agents nationally are permitted, and this can hardly be called a monopoly," he added, apparently disagreeing in part with the Minister's assesment.
He also said that his department would be meeting again with the China National Tourism Association, "because there are a lot more travel agents which could qualify to work with the Chinese market."
Regarding requirements that travel agents pay a hefty deposit before being allowed to serve the Chinese market, Thamrin further explained that these deposits represent an internal rule of the ICTC - the national consortium of travel agents for the Chinese market.
Protection That Simply Doesn't Work
Many travel industry experts see the current regulations imposed on travel agents as counter-productive, monopolistic and the source of the abuse and poor service many Chinese travelers complain of when visiting Indonesia.
Although relatively small in number, the inbound PRC market is reportedly rife with "head selling" - a practice in which visiting tourist are "auctioned off" to the highert bidder who then regains his investment by lowering tour quality and dealing only with establishments prepared to pay high commissions from all revenues generated by Chinese customers.
Out of Africa
Indonesia Eyes Tourists from South Africa by Launching a Heritage Link with Capetown.
Indonesia's Department of Culture and Tourism is trying to strengthen cultural ties with Africa in an effort to attract more tourists from that continent, particularly from South Africa.
As reported in the Indonesian-language
Bisnis Indonesia,
Indonesia's Minister of Culture and Tourism, Jero Wacik, has set the 2005 target for tourists from Africa at 35,000 estimated able to generate some US$ 31.5 million in foreign exchange. By the year 2009, Indonesia's tourism ministry expects 73,000 tourists from Africa spending upwards of US$ 65.7 million will visit Indonesia every year.
Claiming that Indonesia's promotion in the South African market has never been optimized, Minister Wacik has called for a new commitment from the Indonesian tourism industry to promote travel from that Country.
In 2004, tourists from all of Africa to Indonesia totaled 31,000, down from a 2002 total of 36,000.
Pushing a Common Heritage Theme
According to the Minister, Indonesia is particularly seeking to attract visits by those African nationals with ethnic and heritage links to Indonesia dating back many generations when Javanese slaves were brought to South Africa to harvest sugar cane. The Minister claims there are about 700,000 people of the Malay race living in Cape Town, South Africa, in an area known as
Macassar Faure
, with about 60% of these people of Indonesian descent.
While current visitors from South Africa are drawn from people overwhelmingly with European or African ancestry, the Minister believes that the region's Malay-stock represents a potentially substantial source of tourists to Indonesia. Minister Wacik said, "Unfortunately, these Indonesian descendants in South Africa have never been very oriented towards Indonesia. For vacations, they tend to choose Malaysia which is more familiar to them." Minister Wacik views it as a new strategic challenge to entice this group to look to Indonesia for holidays, as one step to boost Indonesia's national tourism industry.
Cape Town Easter Festival
In order to raise Indonesia's visibility in the South African travel market, Department of Culture and Tourism, the Provincial Government of South Sulawesi, and members of the Indonesian tourism industry are participated in the Easter Festival in Cape Town, March 24-27, 2005 2005. The Indonesian delegation, comprising 99 people, included a cultural performance team, chefs, and historians, and 13 travel companies from Jakarta, Bandung, Bali and South Sulawesi.
Bali Hospital Opens HIV/AID Clinic
HIV/AIDS Counseling, Testing and Treatment Offered to Public to Counteract Growing Epidemic.
Bali's Badung regional government has opened an HIV/AIDS clinic at the
Badung Public Hospital (RSUD Bandung)
, near Kapal.
Inaugurated on Tuesday, March 23, 2005, the
Voluntary Counseling and Testing (VCT) Center
located in a separate facility within the Hospital is seen as playing a key role in the coordinated efforts to control the spread of HIV/AIDS in Bali.
Local estimates now put the number of HIV/AIDS cases in Bali at more than 3,000. Experts believe infection rates may even higher given the lack of testing centers and the fear of possible discrimination against sufferers.
The newly opened
voluntary counseling and testing
center at the Kapal Public Hospital is intended to allow anonymous HIV testing to take place as the necessary first step to preventing the spread of HIV/AIDS and providing medical assistance to those stricken by the disease.

Bali's Coming Water Crisis
Japanese Researchers in Bali Warn of the Need for Sustainable Development and Wise Management of Bali's Water Resources
At a recent seminar held in Bali on the development and management of water resources it was concluded that unless water conservation becomes a top priority in Bali, the island would face a serious water crisis within 20 years.
The seminar, sponsored by the
Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA)
, presented the findings of a team of water experts from
, including:
That by 2025, Bali's population will grow from its estimated 3.147 million people in 2000 to 4.139 million - an increase of 132%.
Similarly, foreign tourist visitors arrival currently standing at 1.458 million can be expected to increase 253% to 3.690 million in 20 years time.
Pointing to the growing demand for water in all areas of Bali, a
expert, Masatomo Watanabe, called for the identification of new water resources and greater control on the over-exploitation of ground water in order to avoid the intrusion of salt water into the Island's fresh water supplies.
Mr. Watanabe estimates Bali entire water consumption now stands at 3,504 cubic meters per day - equivalent to 40.7 tons of water every second of every day.
Bali Needs its Own Airline
Local ASITA Chairman, Bagus Sudibya, Underlines Bali's Need for its Own Airline.
Bali's Chairman of the
Association of Indonesian Tour Agents (ASITA)
, Bagus Sudibya recently told the Indonesian-language
Bali Post
that Bali as a major international destination needs its own air carrier.
According to Sudibya, in order to preserve its share Bali needs its own airline capable of carrying tourists directly from strategic markets, such as Europe. While foreign carriers waste no time in curtailing flight frequencies whenever a problem, such a bird flu, emerges, the
Chairman believe that a Bali-owned airline would have greater staying power in the face of events that cause other airlines to think only of profit and loss in deciding whether or not to maintain flight frequency levels.
Citing Singapore and Thailand as positive examples of how locally-owned carriers increase European tourist markets, Sudibya said that following the cessation of
European services Bali has become increasingly dependent on foreign carriers.
At present,
Air Paradise International
, owned by Balinese businessman, I Madé Kadek Wiranantha, is the only "Balinese owned" airline operating international passenger services.
Air Paradise
operates a number of services in the Asia Pacific region but has yet to add any European destinations to its schedule.

Dr. Joseph Marcell the Hudon Valley Community College has taught us to first use a triple beam balance. A swing balance. Then a chain-o-matic balance following a numerical scale. It turns out that respect has developed for the delicate balance again, respect for the high precision digital scales. The highest accuracy require delicate balances the use of contact, the greater respect that developed during the progressive learning process.

Victoria Beckham, wife of the ever famous David Beckham and a former member of the Spice Girls is still upset and shocked about her dresses being robbed. The van that carried $583,000 worth of dresses for her spring and summer collection to be flown at Neiman Marcus, New York was robbed at Heathrow Airport. Around fifty to seventy-five spring/summer dresses were taken from the delivery van and left the driver bruised and shaken.
How can people resort to such act? I feel so sorry for her. But, I'm positive that she can still redo the dresses in no time. Don't you? We hope so.

Melbourne pubs billionaire
Mr Mathieson, valued at $1.18 billion in the 2013 BRW Rich 200, said the best businesses are those where money is being made almost 24 hours day, and Mayne Pharma is well positioned as a developer and maker of branded and generic pharmaceutical products that people are taking day and night.
The company aims to tap into the demographic shifts of an ageing population that will become even more focused on healthcare.
"People are getting older, there's more health issues and they will always spend money on their health," Mr Mathieson said.
He holds 7.8 per cent of Mayne Pharma, a stake worth $37 million.
He says the two major assets of the company are both very difficult for rivals to recreate. One of them is a 12,000-square-metre pharmaceutical development and manufacturing operation at Salisbury in the northern suburbs of Adelaide. This facility was at the heart of the old F. H. Faulding Co business, which was acquired in a $2.4 billion takeover in 2001 by listed healthcare giant Mayne Group.
The other key asset is a 9200-square-metre facility in Greenville, North Carolina that develops and makes pharmaceutical products. This came under Mayne Pharma's control after the company acquired the United States drug developer Metrics in late 2012 for US$120 million, to give itself a platform in the US.
"We've got very good assets. It would be very hard to put that together for anyone starting from scratch,'' he said.
Mr Mathieson, who is also a director of Mayne Pharma as well as a large shareholder, said he doesn't bother investing in businesses that only offer a small potential return.
Mayne Pharma shareholders have experienced a doubling in the share price in the past 10 months from 40¢ in June 2013 to 85¢ currently.
But Mayne Pharma is still relatively small, with a market capitalisation is $525 million. It made a net profit of $8.4 million in the first half of 2013-14 from sales revenue of $70 million.
Mr Mathieson said that as more than 20 drugs come off patent each week around the world, there is substantial potential for companies like Mayne Pharma to capture more of the market.
"It's an open-ended book. Every week there are large numbers coming off patent,'' he said.
New chief executive Scott Richards is a former F. H. Faulding trainee who then worked offshore for almost two decades and has been fine-tuning the operations.
Mr Mathieson, with a net worth of $1.3 billion derived mainly from a pubs empire that is now part of the supermarket giant Woolworths, said there is some irony in the old Faulding business now being at the centre of Mayne Pharma.
The Mayne Pharma plant at Salisbury has been through a string of owners over the past decade and a half.
F. H. Faulding Co was acquired in a takeover tussle in 2001 for $2.4 billion by Mayne Group, which subsequently de-merged in 2005 into two separate businesses called Mayne Pharma and Symbion Health.
Mayne Pharma was acquired by US giant Hospira in 2007. Mayne Pharma's oral pharmaceutical group was then bought by ASX-listed Halcygen Pharmaceuticals. In late 2010, Halcygen changed its name to Mayne Pharma.
