Today's #FoodieFriday post explores how food can be used as an act of civil protest. The Civil Rights Movement is full of well-known women leaders who used the power of their voices to fight for justice and freedom for all people. We all recognize Rosa Parks, Dr. Dorothy Height, Dr. Maya Angelou, Fannie Lou Hamer and countless other courageous, trailblazing African American women who dedicated their lives to transforming society into a place that acknowledges the inherent dignity and worth of all people.
While these women worked in more visible areas of the movement, many women worked behind the scenes—shaping and influencing the cause in more subtle but nonetheless, powerful ways. Wilora "Peaches" Ephram was one of those women.
In 1961, Ephram opened Peaches Restaurant on Farish Street in Jackson, Mississippi. During the 1960s, her delicious soul food fed some of the most renowned leaders of the Civil Rights Movement, including Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Beginning in 1961, the freedom riders began their brave and perilous journeys into the south. "Peaches" literally risked her life by boxing up packages of freshly fried chicken, rolls, collard greens and mac & cheese, and delivering it to the riders, who had been arrested and detained in a large field. The riders had been detained for hours in the field, hungry and dehydrated, as the sun's oppressive heat beat down on them. She recalled that she had very little money at the time, barely able to scrounge a few dollars, but she understood that she had a duty to help however she could.
Today, Peaches Restaurant is an historic site and a soul-food Mecca frequented by many famous leaders, including President Obama. Check out this video interview with Wilora "Peaches" Ephram reflecting on her business:

Wayne, N.J., Toys "R" Us Inc. said Wednesday its U.S. comp-store sales for the nine-week holiday selling season rose 4.1%.

After finding himself on the disabled list all season, Mat Latos is finally finding his stride on the mound with the Triple-A Louisville Bats. Latos made his third rehabilitation start with the Bats Wednesday evening pitching five complete innings allowing two earned runs on six hits while striking out three.
Although the original plan of attack was to allow Latos to go six innings and pitch up to 100 pitches, his outing was cut short due to a cramp in his calf.
"He may have wanted to stay in, but it was apparent that it was something he shouldn't be pitching with as we get closer and closer to him joining the club," Reds manager Bryan Price said Thursday. "It was disappointing he wasn't able to get up to the innings and pitch limit that we had set. So he'll be in later on today and we'll kind of reassess the severity of it. It doesn't sound like it's really an issue; it's more of a cramp than anything else. That being said, we still have to take a look at him and make a decision on what the next step is."
It is unclear what the Reds will do next. They have discussed the possibility of allowing Latos to pitch one more rehab start with Louisville or activate him for the first time this year.
"It's under consideration what we want to do, whether we want to activate him or give him one more start to get stretched out," Price said.
It is also a mystery as to what may come of the rotation with the addition of Latos. Alfredo Simon has gone 7-3 in his absence and may move to the bullpen. Another thought is that starter Tony Cingrani may make a move to the pen as well.
"We'll just kind of make an organizational decision, but a decision hasn't been made yet," said Price.
Latos collected a 14-7 record last season with a 3.16 ERA in 32 total starts. He underwent surgery following the completion of the season to have a bone chip removed from his elbow. He also tore cartilage in his left knee and had surgery at the beginning of Spring Training.

Mille Lacs County Times
The temperatures this time last year were well below zero. The snow depths were measured in feet, not inches. It was a colder year with unusually high snow depths, which makes the mild winter of 2012 even more of a contrast.
Little snow accumulation has meant fewer trips down the sidewalk with the shovel, and fewer trips for municipal snow plows.
"The snow removal expenses are in much better shape this year," said Milaca City Manager Greg Lerud. "A couple of years ago, the city curtailed much of the overtime due to local government aid cuts, so that expense has been minimal. We do pay a contractor to haul the snow from the down town area, and that has been significantly less this winter season (so far) than past years."
So far, the city has spent a mere $450 on snow removal. For the entire 2010-2011 season, Milaca paid $6,860 for the services. That compares to an average $3,550 annual expense for the seasons between 2006 and 2009.
"As you can see, last year was almost double for the five-year average, and we have only hauled snow one time this year," Lerud said. "Another expense that we will realize savings on are for plow cutting edges. We purchased the edges we are using now in 2011, but with the lack of wear and tear (which will hopefully continue) could push off having to purchase new ones for next season."
But for the snow lovers and winter activities that define the Minnesota climate, this year's weather has had the opposite affect.
"The flip side of a milder and less snowy year is the skating rink is not open, and the cross country trails have not been opened," he said. "The city crews have been fighting the combination of warm weather early on, and now that the snow has been falling, trying to be able to clear the ice. The main problem with the skating rink is that the rink has a design that requires it to be over a foot deep in some spots in order to get water to the outer edges."

First U.S. Internet Addiction Facility Opens
Bradford Regional Medical Center (BRMC) a psychiatric hospital in central Pennsylvania will become the nation's first facility to offer an inpatient treatment program for people diagnosed with severe Internet addiction.
Online guru Peter Shankman said he agrees with medical studies showing the similarities between substance abuse and internet addiction withdrawals, "when you get a text, or a ding, or a tweet, the brain actually releases dopamine."
The 10 day voluntary program is where patients undergo a "digital detox" and cannot use the internet or computer for 72 hours followed by a psychological evaluation.
There are people who may feel they suffer from Internet addiction but can't afford BRMC's $14,000 program. Dr. Jeff Temple, Director of UTMB'S Behavioral Health and Research Program suggests they go to a "psychologist or if they can't find a psychologist go to their primary care physician who would then refer them to a pyschologist."
Bradford Regional Medical Center will open the program September 9th at the Behavioral Health Services section of the facility. Insurance does not cover the cost so patients will have to pay out of pocket.

We used AMS for a local move but we had a ton of stuff to move. They were courteous, friendly and efficient. Unfortunately, it was a very HOT day and I felt so bad for them but they still had us moved in by the promised time and nothing was broken! We definitely feel like we got great service for a great value!"

We were thrilled when we saw the Atlanta Moving Solutions crew! They were on time and ready to work. They took extra time to comfort my mother who has been in the same house since the 60's. We used their packing services and the same crew came back the following day to move her into an assisted living facility. It was very comforting letting these guys into her home. I'm sure they will be a household name in no time!

I'm 44 and I've moved a dozen times over the years and all I can say is WOW! My team from Atlanta Moving Solutions was better than ALL my other movers combined. They were polite, on time, so fast (I kept telling them to slow down because I was worried they would pass out from the heat the day of my move). Ask for Sergio, Steven and Shawn to facilitate your move. Fantastic group of guys. Did I mention they were FAST?!?!?!?! And not a broken or dinged anything, including walls at both houses. They wrapped and padded anything I wanted given special care. Cannot thank AMS enough for the easiest move I've ever had.

I choose this company because they were recommended by two coworker's of mine. We had to move my parents out of the home they've been in for the last 40 years. The crew did the pack up the day before. They sent 3 guys and all the materials and packed them up. The following day they came back with 2 trucks and a 6 man team. The crew was a great group of guys and really made the transition easy for my parents. The following day AMS came back and took items to goodwill and also hauled a full truck of junk to the dump. These guys are great! If your looking for a good trustworthy crew to handle your move/ pack job or haul off these are the guys!

We had this company move my family last week. I was so nervous and apprehensive since it was such a large move. They were so professional and eased all my fears. They even listened to what I had to say. We have always had bad experiences in past with moving. They took extra care to make sure my pets were safe and my things were moved with care. I can't thank them enough!!! If you ever need movers look no further...they rock!!

We were very impressed after our initial contact with Atlanta Moving Solutions. The response was caring and professional. Two movers showed up the day of the move. They were not organized and seemed mostly concerned about socializing and cell phones. There was no initiation shown to efficiently get the job done. If you use this company, I'd suggest getting an upfront contract with a firm price based on the job, don't base the move on time. Also, look in the truck after your furniture is placed inside. I mention this because we asked for the furniture to be shrink wrapped. We were told it we cost a one time fee and agreed. Until the furniture was carried off the truck at its new destination, we thought this step occurred. It did not. (We were not billed for the shrink wrap, but we requested it done and were willing to pay.) I wish that the movers were as professional as the person who answered our initial calls and e-mails.
Posted: 1/02/2015 • Link to this review
Our top priority is customer satisfaction. We take these reviews seriously and would like to speak with you. We do have a strict no cellphone's on the job policy. We also always push the shrink wrap due to it making our job easier ( don't have to worry about drawers opening while we are carrying dressers , etc.). I'm wondering if maybe they misunderstood. Either way if you could contact our office I would like to speak with you and go over the details. Thanks- Matt Donaldson
I heard about Atlanta Moving Solutions through a friend's referral. The person I spoke with on the phone was the person that showed up at my apartment. These guys are extremely up front and honest, and their pricing is unbeatable. There are no hidden fees after the move is done, just a straight hourly rate. They took a load of stress out of my move and were very accommodating while moving me through several locations, including Midtown Atlanta. I would only use these guys in the future and will definitely refer them to anyone else.

I searched through several companies and decided on Atlanta Moving Solutions. First, they are licensed with the State of Georgia (not all the movers on Kudzu are licensed.) Matt, the owner, has been in the moving business since he was a boy. He takes great pride in his work. They have a great crew and their rates were extremely competitive. Frankly, I was a little leery of paying by the hour. But Matt and his managers keep the guys moving. We got our money's worth... and more! Nothing broken. Everyone treated our stuff like it was there stuff. I'd DEFINITELY use them again...

IT MIGHT be uncomfortably warm at night at the moment, but before long, we'll be in the grip of a cold winter once more.
And with that in mind, Thurrock Council is once again offering local people a free electric blanket testing service to ensure they are safe to use before the cold nights hit hard.
The council's trading standards team are setting up drop off/collection points across the borough and urging people to drop their blanket off before October 1 for testing.
Cllr Phil Smith, portfolio holder for public protection, said: "This is something we do annually and is an integral part of our drive to protect the people of Thurrock - and in particular older residents and the vulnerable.
"But we are offering everybody the service to anyone, irrespective of age."
The tests will be carried out at the council's Civic Offices in Grays and are free of charge.
The drop-off points are at the South Ockendon Centre in Derry Avenue, the council's Civic Offices in New Road, Grays, Corringham Library in St John's Way and the Chadwell St Mary Centre – formerly the library – in Brentwood Road.

When cards are stacked against you
Page Tools
Know your limits.
Consumers may be hit, but there are ways to stretch the dollar, writes Peter Weekes.
There is a good business case for Aussie Homes and Wizard Home Loans to join the stampede into credit cards, where the Reserve Bank revealed this week great profit is to be had.
Intense competition for home loans over the past decade has shrunk the profit margins banks can squeeze out of mortgages, with the difference between the Reserve Bank's cash rate and the standard variable mortgage rate now a minuscule 1.82 per cent.
Over the same period, says independent research house Cannex, the interest margins on cards have risen to 11 per cent from 8.5 per cent. Indeed, financial services consultancy Fujitsu says the average net margins - a key measure of profitability - on credit cards has risen 5 percentage points in the past year.
"Credit cards are now the great cash cows for the banks," says Consumer Law Centre Victoria director Chris Field.
The RBA study found credit card fees grew by 30 per cent last year to about $800 million. This means that for the first time, banks earned more from credit cards than from mortgages.
The RBA said some of this was due to more consumer spending and a jump in the number of cards, although added annual fees and late-payment fees were also significant factors.
"Fee revenue has grown at a rate way above CPI and productivity," says Field. "We are talking about a growth that is astronomical. It's because it is the area of the market they can get away with."
Why are the fees and charges so high? Have consumers any choice other than to sit back and take it? What can be done to reduce payments?
Independent research group Datamonitor says card issuers have recently been increasing annual fees as they have reduced reward programs. For example, the annual fee on the ANZ Frequent Flyer Visa is $95, up from $67 in 2003.
Consumers Federation of Australia chairwoman Carolyn Bond says banks entice customers by promoting the interest rate, but much of the cost of the card can be hidden in annual fees and late payment charges.
"There is a lack of transparency," she says. "You can think you are getting a cheap credit card based on the interest rate, but once you add the fees, it's a lot more expensive.
"In relation to mortgages, the law now requires comparison rates that include all fees so you can work out which one in cheaper. For credit cards there is no comparison rate."
Virgin Money has been campaigning for the Federal Government to force all card issuers to include a comparison rate in all advertising as well as "honesty" boxes on statements.
"The average interest rate has risen to 16.75 per cent, about 10 per cent higher than mortgage rates, so we have an industry that is getting worse, not better," says Virgin Money managing director Rohan Gamble.
The law centre study also found banks were charging possibly illegal penalty fees "worth hundred of millions". Field says the fees are far in excess of the recovery cost of a late payment or bounced cheque, and tend to trap lower-income consumers.
Australian Consumers Association finance policy adviser Catherine Wolthuizen says consumers need to read the fine print about fees.
Know your limits and check the fine print
- Try to pay the full amount each month. If you can't, check whether interest applies from the purchase date, statement date or due date - the later the date, the lower the interest.
- Avoid having more than one credit card.
- Cards with loyalty programs work best if you use your card frequently for large purchases and pay them off within the interest-free period.
- You will pay more for loyalty programs so ask yourself if the rewards are the ones you really want.
- Before you accept a honeymoon rate, check the reversion rate as it could be higher than for your current card.
- Some cards waive the annual fee if you spend more than a certain amount, but check first as it is usually quite a lot.
- Avoid using a card for cash advances as interest is charged from the withdrawal date and you may have to pay a higher rate and/or a fee.
- Only use the card to pay off another card as a last resort.
- Don't use a card in place of a personal loan.
- Think hard before accepting offers of increased limits. Just because the bank wants you to run up more debt doesn't mean you can afford to repay it.

It seems that a connection does indeed exist between the placebo effect and anxiety. Generalized anxiety disorder has symptoms that might stem from biological causes as well as emotional causes. Drugs such as benzodiazepines act on the various biological systems (such as serotonin systems) believed to be involved in depression. But what about the emotional aspect? It makes one wonder if changes in the biological systems in the brain are responsible for changes in the emotions that accompany it or if these emotional changes cause the biological changes. One cannot be sure of the direction of causality, but placebos, like actual medications, have been shown to act as anxiolytics.
There is no certainty about how placebos might act to reduce anxiety, but what is certain is that if placebos act on serotonergic systems to reduce anxiety, then it is the power of suggestibility that has its effects in relieving this disorder. Therefore, in one way or another, placebos affect one's physiological system and in anxiety have been shown to influence the emotions that are related to malfunctioning serotonergic systems.
So since the path of placebo action, specifically in serotonin-related symptoms, has not been clearly defined, localized or even molecularly detected as a distinct process, one can only assume the way it develops. The most relevant assumption to make, based on empirical information, is that the placebo action works similarly to a drug. By this it is meant that the plausible ways in which placebo action affects a given neural process are those in which it has been observed that drugs do. As a short reminder, this would imply that placebo action is occurring at one of the following levels: reuptake, synthesis, receptor binding, or vesicle content.
In other words, at the molecular level the brain must be acting on itself, affecting the serotonergic system directly. It should be noted that no one chemical or physical entity has been identified that "enacts" this placebo effect. There is obviously a clear connection between a cognitive process and a biochemical one, yet the identity or form of this connection remains unclear. In this project, the placebo effect and its characteristics have been described. Also, the data has shown that a placebo effect can be relevant when compared to a pharmacological effect. We are left with no option but to attribute the placebo effect, in anxiety, to a re-establishment of balance, if such terminology does not fall into the realm of the pseudo-psychological. Our neuroscientific thought pushes us to seek a better, more palpable explanation and the future will tell.
The effects of placebo action, however, are real and ineludible. The implications of such a poorly understood process are important. Our society has certainly become drug intensive and dependent while scientific study has shown in some cases, such as generalized anxiety disorder, that the body has great capabilities of self-regulation and maintenance. This again, brings out many issues. It may, on one hand, suggest that many disorders from which a growing number of people suffer may be anthropogenic. After all, if the body has an inherent capacity to remain stable and functional, there must be great stress pushing the brain out of balance. On the other hand, and leaving blame out of it, the mere presence of a placebo assumed to have an unknown biological identity may be controlled by chemical or cognitive means. This would imply an increased number of options for treatment in many areas that today are limited. Further study of the placebo effect in and beyond anxiety disorders shall reveal how we may use our ability for efficient and reliable cures.
Many studies have centered around the testing of drugs in the treatment of affective disorders such as generalized anxiety disorder and depression. These has involved human test subjects and subjective tests that attempt to quantify the patient's level of anxiety or depression. For instance, the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale requires patients to fill out a survey of questions that rates the relative incidence or severity of depression and anxiety symptoms on a numeric scale. There are also doctor patient interviews. It is difficult to look at bio-molecular changes that take place following drug treatment in live human subjects. We are forced to use these subjective tests. For these reasons, drug testing is particularly susceptible to the various forms of the placebo effect. Patient expectancy plays a large role. If a patient expects to feel improvement, he or she might actually misinterpret his/herself as having improved or make biased errors in assessing their feelings for the better. In some cases they might really think that they did improve significantly. And if they think they improved, isn't that necessarily an improvement? What is the criteria for a diagnosis of improvement? These are rather circular arguments that need to be considered carefully.
Also some patients might lie on these surveys or tests because they do not want to disappoint the researcher - saying that they improved when in fact they have not. The behavior and treatment of the subject by the researcher can influence this. There are also cases where patients will lie in order to receive more of a drug or treatment (i.e saying that they didn't improve in order to receive more drug testing). These types of placebo effects must be taken into consideration in any sort of data or study that deals with anxiety disorders and depression. The disorders that our project has covered are the most (as mentioned earlier) susceptible to these and other placebo effects. This means that one can not analyze findings related to anxiety disorders and depression and how serotonin mediates these disorders without looking at the placebo effect and using it as a control in related studies. That is why the placebo effect had to be discussed in relation to depression and generalized anxiety disorder.
The severity of the patient's disorder is a key factor in determining their response or non-response to a placebo. In the few studies that have been done, it seems that those sufferers who have the most severe symptoms are, unfortunately, least likely to respond. Those who have help-seeking behavior, a positive attitude towards therapy and an open mind about new treatments appear to respond the best to placebos. Could it be that the most drastic cases have a sort of locked circuit of anxiety that is not easily altered, whereas those who are more susceptible to influence have circuits that are more easily diverted? If we knew exactly how placebos acted on serotonergic circuits, we might have more clear answers, but for now we can only infer that an open mind is crucial for effective placebos.
Just as essential is an open mind in researching and evaluating these amazing placebo effects. In our society, we are often quick to feed the body a chemical when we detect an imbalance or upset. A quick and easy fix is most desirable and generally embodied in our perception of medication. As we have demonstrated, however, the 'power of the mind' can be just as effective in returning the much needed balance and happiness. And wouldn't it be better in the long run to be able to re-direct those circuits that have gone awry, or otherwise make those natural, physical corrections in the brain rather than simply act on them with a drug? This is merely one of the questions we are left pondering after our exploration into the power of placebo. Drug therapy has been proven to work wonders, and we don't know if the placebo does indeed cause a re-wiring or correction. We are not to say whether any therapy is superior over another, but we can say that placebo therapy is a good idea. We don't know all that we don't know, and without creativity in research, we never will.

This is very likelihood to be myofascial trigger point. This can be associated with degenerative disc disease in neck causing pinched nerves. Trigger points may develop after an initial injury to muscle fibers. This injury may be a noticeable traumatic event or repetitive microtrauma to the muscles. The trigger point causes pain and stress in the muscle or muscle fiber. When predisposing factors combine with a triggering stress event, activation of a trigger point occurs. Myofascial trigger point is a hyperirritable spot, usually within a taut band of skeletal muscle or in the muscle fascia which is painful on compression. The treatment is following;
1) passive stretching of the affected muscle after application of sprayed vapocoolant
2) physical therapy
3) deep electrotherapy; iontophoresis, phonophoresis, short wave diathermy, electrical stimulation
4) local analgesic patch / ointment / spray
5) anti-inflammatory analgesics; Ibuprofen (Motrin / Advil)
6) ischemic compression therapy; pressure on the points
7) massage
8) steroid shots
9) acupuncture.
The specialist to consult would be MD in physical medicine and rehabilitation. Physical therapy and deep electrotherapy are the mainstay of the treatment.

text: I think of HT as a nice freebee that's pretty transparent and inexpensive to install (pure Perl, etc.) and relatively unobtrusive. I don't use it, but it's been used here before I came in and put a TT stake in the ground. I've been using TT for a number of years now, and am comfortable with its installation requirements. What is it that is really at issue here? Why does anybody care if this realtively benign package gets installed by default? Ok, it breaks the all-must-be-as-modular-as-possible rule, but...big deal? Surely, noone feels slighted that their favorite templating libs weren't chosen. TT works just fine with CA. Doesn't it? And finally, Jesse's needs (he uses HT) and the potential impact to users going forward that would come from uncoupling C::A and H::T would probably be more of a pain that it's worth in general. So, again, now that we've been all over this, what's the rub here?

Simple, yes -- to a fault. In my experience, I find what constitutes the parts of MVC to be subjective. I haven't heard much of an argument about what belongs in the model so much as I heard a lot of debate about what constitutes controller logic and what belongs in the view. My opinion is shaped more by practicality then idealism. In my environment interface/experience designers are totally different people and skills. (There are those who would argue this shoudl always be the case, but I recognize this is not always practical either.) It's annoying to have to keep going into my code to tweak the formatting of a date value or calculate conditional logic down to a boolean value because the designer changed their mind. It's equally as annoying (and wasteful) to have to build and stash all of these values from an object that already contains all of that just in case the designer needs. So to me H::T excludes a lot of what I think should be in the view. Its for this reason that why H::T had to be decommissioned in MT4. The conversion of reading with objects and their methods (calculated values) is not complete, but it's going to reduce the amount of code in run modes a great deal and make the logic in the views much more reusable. I guess my point here is that there are different needs that its rather pointless debating who is right or which template engine is better. Its a shame CGI::App made that decision and it would be nice to think that there was more community spirit here then the hard line Jesse took, but things could be worse. <tim/> ##### CGI::Application community mailing list ################ ## ## ## To unsubscribe, or change your message delivery options, ## ## visit: http://www.erlbaum.net/mailman/listinfo/cgiapp ## ## ## ## Web archive: http://www.erlbaum.net/pipermail/cgiapp/ ## ## Wiki: http://cgiapp.erlbaum.net/ ## ## ## ################################################################ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - This message is intended only for the personal and confidential use of the designated recipient(s) named above.

This paper argues that sustainable consumption and production (SCP) should play a prominent role in the formulation and implementation of the sustainable development goals (SDGs) and discusses how this could be practically done. Unsustainable patterns of consumption and production have been declared the primary cause of environmental deterioration. This was clearly recognized already at the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (or the Rio Summit) in 1992; and this recognition has been reconfirmed in all high-level sustainability meetings since then. SCP aims to change these patterns; it is a policy agenda for addressing the root causes of our ecological predicament, while, at the same time, providing for human wellbeing and prosperity. Drawing from international agreements, practical policy experience and research from a range of disciplines, the paper provides a clarifying framework for scientifically robust, policy-relevant and practical goal-setting for SCP within the SDGs. Special attention is given to how SCP in the SDGs can create synergies with other international policy initiatives. The paper explores the advantages and disadvantages of two possible options for reflecting SCP in the SDGs framework: (i) SCP as a stand-alone goal; and (ii) SCP as a cross-cutting objective, embedded within relevant goals. While these two options are not necessarily mutually exclusive, given the competing number of issues for prioritization and the fact that a 10-Year Framework of Programs on SCP has also recently been established, it is hardly foreseeable that both options can be realized. The paper further proposes a set of basic principles for SCP at the global level and makes recommendations towards the formulation of indicators supporting SCP objectives in the SDGs.
In 1992 at the Rio Earth Summit, world leaders acknowledged that "the major cause of the continued deterioration of the global environment is the unsustainable pattern of consumption and production" [
This is especially the case as the SDGs and the follow-up to the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) will likely be brought under the same framework as the Post-2015 Development Agenda [
As part of consultations on the SDGs, in October 2012, the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UNDESA) provided a questionnaire to national governments with one of the questions focusing on thematic areas that countries considered priorities for SDGs. The responses from countries were then ranked according to the frequency of occurrence. The ten top thematic priorities for national governments were: sustainable energy; food security; water and sanitation; biodiversity protection; desertification/land degradation; sustainable consumption and production; oceans and marine systems; poverty eradication; gender equality; and education [
In terms of approaches, the High-Level Panel sees SCP at the core of SD; "not directly addressed through a single goal", but as a cross-cutting issue to be embedded within other goals [
Unpacking the concept of SCP reveals a broad range that touches upon almost all socio-economic activities and their impact on the environment, from deep sea trawling for fish to meditation in a mountain hut. The UN Environment Program (UNEP) uses this cumbersome, but technically descriptive, definition of SCP: "The use of services and related products which respond to basic needs and bring better quality of life while minimizing the use of natural resources and toxic materials as well as the emissions of waste and pollutants over the life cycle of the service or product so as not to jeopardize the needs of future generations" [
The approach to "decoupleˮ economic growth from resource use and environmental degradation has often been promoted as one of the key means of achieving SCP [
One of the flaws of decoupling as the main approach to SCP is that it gives primacy to the economic dimension of sustainability. It is based on the assumption that economic growth can and should continue, seemingly
Already, Agenda 21 recognized the need for a broad approach to achieving SCP. In Chapter 4, titled "Changing Consumption Patterns", it calls for "new systems of national accounts and other indicators of sustainable development" that do not depend on economic growth. Rather, there should be "new concepts of wealth and prosperity which allow higher standards of living through changed lifestyles and are less dependent on the Earth's finite resources and more in harmony with the Earth's carrying capacity" [
SCP can thus be defined as having two broad and interrelated objectives:
The achievement of wellbeing for all people; and Keeping the negative environmental impacts of socio-economic activities to within carrying capacity.
The achievement of wellbeing for all people; and
Keeping the negative environmental impacts of socio-economic activities to within carrying capacity.
SCP has been mentioned as being broad in scope. Chapter 4 of Agenda 21 starts by acknowledging that "Since the issue of changing consumption patterns is very broad, it is addressed in several parts of Agenda 21, notably those dealing with energy, transportation and wastes" [
sustainable consumption and production (SCP) is reflected in several multilateral environment agreements (MEAs) and high-profile sustainability initiatives.
|Main sustainability theme
|Initiative or MEA
|Related SCP objective, goal or target
|Food security
|Zero Hunger Challenge
|Achieve 100 percent access to adequate food all year round;
|end malnutrition in pregnancy and early childhood;
|make all food systems sustainable;
|increase growth in the productivity and income of smallholders, particularly women;
|achieve a zero rate of food waste.
|Sustainable Energy for All Initiative (SE4All)
|Goal of achieving sustainable energy for all by 2030, including:
|energy access;
|renewable energy; and
|energy efficiency.
|Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2011–2020, under Convention for Biodiversity
|Aichi Biodiversity Targets require that "by 2020, at the latest, Governments, business and stakeholders at all levels have taken steps to achieve or have implemented plans for sustainable production and consumption and have kept the impacts of the use of natural resources well within safe ecological limits." (Conference of the Parties (COP) 10 Decision X/2 Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2011–2020).
|Hazardous Waste
|The Basel Convention on the Control of Transboundary Movement of Hazardous Wastes and their Disposal
|Seeks to address issues arising from the generation and disposal of dangerous wastes resulting from production and consumption practices. It takes a life-cycle approach and places restrictions on movements of hazardous wastes from developed to developing countries.
|It also has a partnership program that has encouraged SCP in several sectors, e.g., establishing guidelines on the sound management of end-of-life mobile phones and computing equipment.
|The Forest Principles
|States that policies and programs for the sustainable conservation and management of forests should take into account "all aspects related to the production, consumption, recycling and/or final disposal" of forest products. It includes explicit recommendations for countries to undertake environmental impact assessments and adopt national forestry action plans. In 2001, 14 international organizations formed the Collaborative Partnership on Forests, with a mission to promote the sustainable management of forests, including the Food and Agricultural Organization, World Bank and The UN Environment Program (UNEP).

An effective framing of SCP in the context of the SDGs, with associated indicators and implementation arrangements, would require:
A thorough understanding of the Understanding Using a lifecycle perspective, prioritizing areas where production and consumption have the highest
A thorough understanding of the
Using a lifecycle perspective, prioritizing areas where production and consumption have the highest
The above would be used in setting an SCP goal and/or subsidiary goals, indicators and concrete targets to support the SCP objective of achieving wellbeing within the ecological limits of the planet. This is examined in the following sections, with two main options discussed. The first option is to make SCP a stand-alone goal, one of the main goals of the SDGs. The second option is to break it down into its various practical key issues and then, as a cross-cutting SC objective, embed it as subsidiary goals and indicators across the main goals. The practicalities of each of these options are discussed, as well as their advantages and disadvantages. However, the tendency to recommend one "better" option is resisted. The intention of this paper is to provide a clarifying framework for scientifically robust, policy relevant and practical goal-setting for SCP within the SDGs. Furthermore, as SCP is already officially designated by UN member states as an overarching objective of SD [
As a stand-alone goal, SCP would be highlighted as a top priority for international and national policy and action. In addition to being a policy goal, it would be clearly recognizable to individual citizens and consumers, thus contributing to easier communication. With the overall objective of achieving wellbeing for all while minimizing negative impacts on the environment, the goal will then be broken down to a set of subsidiary goals, each with clear targets and concrete, measurable indicators.
There are both advantages and disadvantages to having SCP as a stand-alone goal. If the goals are meant to integrate all the dimensions of sustainability, SCP is a strong vehicle for such integration. It brings together economic elements of production and consumption, social aspects driven by and resulting from production and consumption patterns and environmental impacts from across product lifecycles. Such an inherently integrative nature of SCP means that subsidiary goals and targets cannot be effectively dealt with in silos and would require a more systemic approach.
Another major advantage of SCP as a stand-alone goal is that it would immediately focus the political attention of all stakeholders and demand action at local, national and international levels. It would mean, for example, bringing attention to sustainability issues from consumption and production patterns in the current growth-oriented economic system, the often misrepresented lack of clear correlation between continuous economic growth and wellbeing [
Shifting to SCP involves complex systemic issues. For SCP to be practically implementable as a goal would require nothing short of a critical review of the culture of consumerism that has become pervasive through mass media and advertisements, has been internalized by billions of consumers around the world and which has come to define modern macro-economic thinking and the existing economic system. The SDG mandate from Rio+20 [
As regards the advantage of giving higher visibility, in a sense, the 10-Year Framework of Programs for sustainable consumption and production (10YFP) already raises the profile of SCP. The 10YFP was adopted at the same Rio+20 meeting, which gave the mandate for the SDGs. Accordingly, over the next 10 years, a set of programs will be developed to support implementation activities at national and regional levels with the objective of changing production and consumption patterns. With an SCP 10YFP and an SCP SDG, there will be overlap in the issues addressed and the periods of implementation. If SCP is placed as a stand-alone SDG, it should complement, rather than compete, with the 10YFP. However, this would require good coordination; care should be taken to prevent an unproductive turf war and fight over limited resources and policy attention by different parts of the UN system. A question arises, however, about whether, with limited resources dedicated to sustainability issues, it is realistic to expect that one theme, SCP, despite its acknowledged importance, would be accorded such political space and the necessary resources provided to support implementation.
Source: UNEP [
There is the risk that divided attention between SCP under the SDGs and SCP under the 10YFP would thin down the potential results. Negotiations and previously agreed goals on addressing climate change as an independent MEA have shown how agreements on pressing issues do not necessarily always arrive at good results; in this case, the climate change problem has instead gotten worse during the period of implementation of the Kyoto Protocol.
For SCP to be a stand-alone goal, there needs to be an assessment of the differences between the mandate for the SDGs and the 10YFP and for the SCP SDG to the address areas that the 10YFP does not cover. However, the 10YFP is a flexible framework that is only gradually taking shape. The initial five indicative programs are: consumer information; sustainable lifestyles and education; sustainable public procurement; sustainable buildings and construction; and sustainable tourism, including ecotourism. Both member states and experts have signaled that the initial list of programs is not comprehensive enough and fails to capture the more strategic issues and urgent aspects of SCP. The list of programs from Rio+20, however, is only indicative, and countries and stakeholders have the option of proposing more programs where relevant. Food and agriculture has already been identified as a strong candidate, and the 10YFP could include a program on this topic.
The question then is which approach will be more successful towards realizing the SCP objectives: to strengthen the 10YFP further by requesting more programs and providing it more resources or to demand SCP as a stand-alone SDG. Straddling both could drop SCP between the cracks of policy debate.
Advantages and disadvantages of SCP as a stand-alone SDG.
|Puts a pointed focus on SCP as a core objective of SD and an area for action.
|May overlap and compete with other SD goals since SCP, as an overarching and cross-cutting approach to SD, is a part of all other sustainability goals.
|Broadens the number of international high profile mandates directly addressing SCP, including development aid.
|Requires careful coordination with the 10YFP to avoid duplication and unproductive competition.
|Makes it easier to highlight wellbeing as the primary objective of consumption and production.
|Limitations of precise indicators and lack of data for measuring concrete targets, especially as regards social aspects, might make implementation difficult
|Makes it easier to communicate SCP to all stakeholders, including individual consumers and citizens.
|Could establish SCP as a siloed activity to be dealt with in isolation from other areas.
|Might be regarded mainly as an environmental goal with implementation responsibility assigned to government bodies with limited resources and weak influence in the policy process.
This second option places SCP not as a stand-alone goal but embeds it in other relevant goals, in certain cases as subsidiary goals. In this case, the main goals will be defined and, under each, SCP will be broken down into its various practical components (e.g., equity, resource use, waste) and embedded where and as appropriate. Realization of this approach will again have to be through identifying indicators for SCP and then setting concrete targets for each. As such, SCP would be spread across different thematic areas; it could fall under goals such as food and energy security, biodiversity protection, water,
This is an approach that has already been taken with goals under different multilateral environmental agreements (see
As with the stand-alone option, SCP as a cross-cutting goal also presents some advantages and disadvantages. The first advantage of embedding SCP in all other SDGs is that it allows the full breadth of the concept to be potentially explored; the SCP approach can be used to create interlinkages and connect the dots between the inherently complex but ultimately integrated dimensions of SD challenges: climate change, water scarcity, energy shortages, global health, food security, women's empowerment, biodiversity loss, atmospheric pollution, waste generation. This makes SCP the mainstay of SD and in fact brings it around to serving as the "overarching objective" that the 2002 Johannesburg Summit declared it to be.
By the same token, embedding it as a cross-cutting topic runs the risk of causing confusion with SCP perceived as being everywhere and nowhere at the same time. Practically speaking, at the stage of developing the goals and during implementation, without adequate knowledge and dexterity SCP could be spread thin and weakened. It could end up falling between the goals, especially where certain aspects do not fit well under these goals. A critical aspect of this approach lies in the setting of targets and design of indicators. Weak or ambiguous targets that are hard to monitor and indicators dogged by low data availability and poor data quality could hamper implementation. More fundamentally, SCP calls for a paradigm shift and given the current climate of limited political will it might be challenging to embed it in the main goals in such a way that it provides a strong impetus for systemic transformation. Yet these issues dog also the implementation of the 10YFP—the SCP focused global framework for action.
The option to embed SCP provides an opportunity to complement and strengthen the 10YFP. In contrast to a stand-alone SCP goal that might compete with the 10YFP mandate, an integrated cross-cutting approach could identify the thematic areas where the 10YFP falls short and reflect these in the development of indicators and targets for SCP under the SDGs. This would in practice serve as a bridge between the two mandates, where a complementary set of indicators is used for the 10YFP and for SCP components of the SDGs. During implementation, a common monitoring framework could then be developed to track progress towards overall SCP objectives and to report accomplishment (or the lack thereof) of set targets. In this case the 10YFP Secretariat under UNEP would also have a defined role to play in the implementation of the Post-2015 Development Agenda.
Advantages and disadvantages of SCP as a cross-cutting SDG.
|Reflects that SCP is a cross-cutting objective rather than a sectoral issue
|SCP is less visible up-front. Some major stakeholders, including consumers and citizens will not be addressed directly and will feel less engaged.
|Could generate more resources for SCP implementation
|The full breadth of SCP will not be addressed, since some aspects of production and consumption will not be possible to fit under the main goals.
|Stresses demand-side management (setting limits to consumption) in all major areas
|Facilitates mainstreaming of SCP by mandating sectoral agencies to work towards SCP objectives
|Easier to achieve complementarity with the 10YFP
Having analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of presenting SCP in the SDG framework, this section discusses some basic principles that should underpin either approach. The SDGs are supposed to be universal, applying to all countries of the world. In this respect, a challenge to the SCP theme of the SDGs would be to reconcile the differences in quality and quantity of production and consumption between developed and developing countries. Not only have historic levels of consumption by developed economies been high, present rates of consumption remain much higher than in developing economies and above sustainability thresholds. On the other hand, developing economies still need to increase production and consumption in several areas in order to meet basic levels of wellbeing [
Policy makers have already acknowledged this dichotomy. Agenda 21 declares that "Although consumption patterns are very high in certain parts of the world, the basic consumer needs of a large section of humanity are not being met. This results in excessive demands and unsustainable lifestyles among the richer segments, which place immense stress on the environment. The poorer segments, meanwhile, are unable to meet food, health care, shelter and educational needs" [

This difference between developed and developing countries highlights three contentious aspects of SCP:
Equity among populations and equal access to ecological resources to meet wellbeing needs; Fairness in the distribution of the burden and damages from historic and present unsustainable consumption and production; Differences in the capacities of developed and developing countries to address the problems of unsustainable consumption and production.
Equity among populations and equal access to ecological resources to meet wellbeing needs;
Fairness in the distribution of the burden and damages from historic and present unsustainable consumption and production;
Differences in the capacities of developed and developing countries to address the problems of unsustainable consumption and production.
Addressing these three would go a long way toward easing the implementation of SCP objectives in the SDGs. Agenda 21 recommends "a multipronged strategy focusing on demand, meeting the basic needs of the poor, and reducing wastage and the use of finite resources in the production process" [ Reduced levels of consumption by developed countries. For the SDGs to be seen as applicable to all, industrialized countries need to, while ensuring the wellbeing of their citizens, commit to reducing their level of material consumption. This is as much desired as it is imperative in order to give the Post-2015 Development Agenda fairness and legitimacy. Increased quality of consumption by developing countries. Poverty is unsustainable; developing countries need to increase the level of consumption of low-income groups, especially of basic necessities, to at least meet minimum requirements for health and dignity, while adopting the most sustainable methods available to avoid causing the same levels of ecological harm as has been seen with developed countries.

The upshot of such an approach is that a reconciliation of SCP goals between developed and developing countries would eliminate extremes of poverty and material wealth and adopt new ways of producing and/or meeting needs in society that are less ecologically damaging.
It is, however, important to recognize that in all countries, even the least developed ones, exists an affluent elite enjoying material standards that exceed what is sustainable. The onus for reducing consumption levels cannot be placed only on advanced countries. Similar changes should be expected from the rapidly growing consumer class in the developed world. In order for the SDGs to be universal, goals and targets would have to reflect this reality.
As pointed out above, SCP is a broad agenda that is related with basically all economic sectors and many aspects of society. There have been a large number of efforts to formulate SCP indicators [
The SDGs should reflect the need to protect the life-supporting environmental systems upon which human wellbeing ultimately depends. However, for the design of indicators in the context of the SDGs, it may not be feasible to try to monitor the state of all relevant environmental systems. A more feasible approach would be to focus on the key drivers of environmental degradation. One way of doing that is by measuring the ecological footprint per country and per capita. This approach is widely understood even outside of academic circles. Another, less widely known way is monitoring aggregate material consumption, an indicator that adds up a society's consumption of natural resources (mainly metals and ores, biomass, fossil fuels and construction minerals). There are now established methodologies and databases available for Material Flow Accounting (MFA) that make it possible to assess the resource consumption of individual nations [
The MFA-based indicator discussed above has one major weakness as a metric for monitoring progress toward SCP. It accounts for material consumption based on where natural resources are extracted and used in production, not based on where products and services are consumed. While such information can be valuable, it fails to reflect the effects of international trade and globalization. With this accounting principle, countries that are outsourcing industrial production abroad will seem to be reducing their material consumption. However, if one considers the final consumption of goods and services as the driving factor of resource extraction and industrial production, it would make more sense to account for resource consumption based on where final consumption takes place. To capture this dynamic, there are now methods available for calculating such an indicator, the material footprint [
Many policy applications of material consumption indicators are using metrics expressed in relative terms. Resource intensity (material consumption/GDP) is a commonly used metric. Such a relative indicator can convey something about the composition of a country's economy and the structural shifts that take place over time. However, it fails to show whether an economy's ecological pressure is actually increasing or decreasing. This observation is related to our discussion on the shortcomings of the decoupling approach in
The objective of SCP is not only to limit negative impacts on the Earth's life-supporting systems, but also to provide for human wellbeing within ecological limits and to promote equity.
Improved human wellbeing is at the heart of SCP, and the SDGs need to establish ways of monitoring whether human society is making progress towards this objective. In practice, GDP has often been used as a proxy for welfare and wellbeing, the logic being that when countries get richer, their citizens are better off. However, there is now a large body of research showing that the relationship between the level of economic activity and wellbeing is far from straightforward. Furthermore, in policy circles, there is now a growing recognition that GDP is not suitable as a wellbeing indicator, at least not in isolation. Responding to the calls for better indicators in this domain, studies in happiness and wellbeing are now a very active research area. These activities involve not only academic institutions, but also international organizations. The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), for example, has developed its Better Life Index with a view toward providing a more multifaceted assessment of how well their member countries succeed in providing favorable conditions for human wellbeing. Several developed countries have recently developed, or are in the process of developing, accounting frameworks for quality of life or wellbeing. Bhutan's Gross National Happiness index is a developing country initiative that has drawn significant attention. There is thus a rapidly growing body of experiences for the SDGs process to draw from.
Inequity can be regarded as unsustainable in its own right, but it can have negative implications for sustainability indirectly as well. High or increasing disparity in a society can easily trigger social tension and unrest, even open violence. Large gaps between rich and poor can also stimulate high levels of consumption of positional goods used to signal social status. Citizens in less unequal societies have been found to have less need for this type of consumption, since social status is reflected in other ways than through material consumption [
Shifting to SCP will require fundamental changes in the way society operates and how we live our lives. Such a full-scale transition will take considerable time; thus, given the urgency and magnitude of unsustainability and the central role of consumption and production, there is a need for immediate forceful action to bring the transition in motion. The SDGs, which are expected to be in place for a 15-year period starting from 2015, should serve as a catalyst to kick-start this societal transformation. This requires addressing the major drivers of consumerism and overconsumption, as well as unequal consumption opportunities, in modern society. Dealing only with the symptoms and addressing only the politically less challenging issues (the proverbial low-hanging fruits) will not result in the kind of changes needed for putting our civilization on the track to sustainability. The goals and indicators of the SDGs, and the associated action plans for implementation, must be formulated from this perspective.
Furthermore, SCP as reflected in the SDGs, must be coordinated with the 10YFP to ensure complementarity and synergies. An immediate opportunity for such coordination is through the 10YFP UN Inter-Agency Coordination Group. The setting of indicators and targets for both the SDGs and the 10YFP is a foundation for complementary operation. Together, both programs would need a comprehensive set of indicators that would consolidate environmental, social and economic elements into a common framework for monitoring progress. A periodic report as such would show: (a) how production and consumption patterns contribute or fail to contribute to the wellbeing of people; and (b) how the prospects of achieving wellbeing by future generations are threatened or safeguarded by current production and consumption activities.
The paper discussed the role of SCP in the SDGs and how SCP objectives could be effectively reflected in this emerging global policy framework. It argued that SCP, as a policy agenda for addressing the root causes of our ecological predicament, while at the same time providing for human wellbeing and prosperity, needs to be prominently featured in the SDGs. It observed that SCP has a key role to play in existing policy initiatives, for example on climate change, biodiversity protection and energy, and found that having SCP properly reflected in the SDGs could strengthen the attention given to the underlying drivers of these global issues. It discussed the pros and cons of two options: having SCP as a stand-alone SDG or as a cross-cutting objective embedded in other goals. It found that both options have significant advantages and disadvantages and concluded that a more critical issue than which of these two options is taken is how to establish sub-goals, indicators and targets in support of SCP objectives. In consequence, the paper provided recommendations towards the formulation of SCP-related indicators in the SDGs framework, including using aggregate material consumption (based on Material Flow Accounting) as a key pressure indicator, using indicators based on where final consumption takes place rather than where resource extraction and production happen (footprint-based indicators), using indicators formulated as absolute measures of consumption and ecological pressure, rather than intensity indicators, expressed relative to GDP, and including measures of human wellbeing despite the difficulties in defining a perfect indicator.

- Not to be confused with Cenarion Scout Jalia.
Jalia was an elder, full-bodied woman who had given birth to six children, and midwifed several times that number. She was a resident of a town near Dalaran where Rhonin and Vereesa Windrunner had settled down, and assisted the then-pregnant high elf through her maternity. Rhonin was certain that a human would be leery of dealing with an elf, but Jalia did not have any problem with helping Vereesa.[1]
Her status is unknown.

The 50th Sydney Film Festival combines classics and the contemporary, writes Garry Maddox.
Problems, what problems? Deflecting any suggestion of financial trouble, the 50th Sydney Film Festival has a program that combines undisputed classics with selections from contemporary international cinema next month.
Last year's loss of $113,000 - blamed on competition from the World Cup soccer and declining sponsorships - triggered a recent newspaper report that the festival was approaching its golden anniversary in "crisis mode".
But at the launch of the program in Sydney yesterday, the festival president, Cathy Robinson, denied there was any crisis.
"The festival is not struggling any more or less than it ever has done - or that any other organisation does," she said. "We've got a good set of relationships with our major sponsors. We're always in the market for new sponsors and we're getting them. That's an important task for a festival like ours which is so reliant on box office."
DRAMAS• Sex is Comedy - Catherine (Romance) Breillat looks at sex on film. • The Man On The Train - Venice crowd-pleaser about a gangster meeting a retired schoolteacher. • Confessions of a Dangerous Mind - George Clooney's film about a TV host turned hitman. • Noi The Albino - Highly rated Icelandic film about a teenager working as a gravedigger. • Swimming Pool - Charlotte Rampling plays a mystery writer in Francois Ozon's stylish closing-night film.
DOCUMENTARIES• Molly and Mobarak - Tom Zubrycki's look at Afghan asylum seekers in Young. • Wildness - Scott Millwood's tribute to wilderness photographers Olegas Truchanas and Peter Dombrovskis. • The Original Mermaid - Michael Cordell's look at the woman who inspired an Esther Williams film. • Comandante - Oliver Stone puts Fidel Castro under the microscope.
CLASSICS• The Runner - Iranian drama about a boy who survives by scavenging. • The Exterminating Angel - Luis Bunuel's examination of a dinner party gone wrong. • For All Mankind - powerful documentary on the Apollo missions.
Robinson said that as well as leading to the postponement of a international competition for new directors, last year's result had led to more conservative box-office projections.
"That's part of a general learning experience for the festival given that we have, in a three-year period, gone from a complete subscriber base to a significant percentage of ... single ticket and smaller package sales. Every year we learn something new about that process."
The festival's director, Gayle Lake, launched a program that was strong on classics and featured a promising range of contemporary films from around the world.
The festival opens on June 6 with the new Australian comedy The Honourable Wally Norman, about a meatworker who accidentally stands for parliament. It closes with French director Francois Ozon's Swimming Pool, which stars Charlotte Rampling as a buttoned-up mystery writer, on June 20.
In between is a mix of the old and the new, the dramatic and the provocative.
A strand of films that made a splash at past festivals, called Perspectives 54>03, features such classics as Jacques Demy's Lola, Victor Erice's The Spirit of the Beehive, the Apollo mission documentary For All Mankind, Luis Bunuel's The Exterminating Angel, Amir Naderi's The Runner and Tian Zhuangzhuang's The Blue Kite.
These films have been selected by former festival directors including David Stratton, Rod Webb and Paul Byrnes.
There are also some famous filmmaking names in a retrospective, called Bright Sparks, of finalists from the festival's short film awards. Included is early work by Jane Campion, Phil Noyce, George Miller, Byron Kennedy, Gillian Armstrong, David Caesar and Chris Noonan.
But many festival-goers will be more interested in the latest quality films from around the world.
The Contemporary World Cinema strand includes two films from controversial directors dealing with sex - Sex is Comedy, directed by France's Catherine Breillat (Romance), and Ken Park, from American Larry Clark (Kids).
There is also a strong line-up of documentaries - Oliver Stone's Comandante, on Fidel Castro, and Stevie, a look at what happened to a once-troubled 11-year-old, from Hoop Dreams director Steve James.
Australian director Tom Zubrycki's Molly and Mobarak looks at Afghan asylum seekers living in Young, NSW.
A New Directors strand includes two more Australian films - Paul Middleditch's A Cold Summer, about a young couple on a spiral of self-destruction, and Sandra Sciberras's Deeper than Blue, about a young boy who cannot remember his name when he wakes up in hospital.
The festival, at the State Theatre and Dendy Opera Quays, also includes:
A three-film selection of Indian cinema outside Bollywood.
A Fright Night program, on Friday the 13th, that includes the new Australian film The Undead, directed by Peter and Michael Spierig.
Three films from maverick directors including Paul Schrader's Auto Focus, which dramatises the downfall of Hogan's Heroes star Bob Crane.
A silent film from 1928, Shiraz, about the love story behind the building of the Taj Mahal. It will have live accompaniment from musicians on traditional and percussion and wind instruments.
Having so many retrospectives has strengthened the number of indisputably strong films in the festival.
"What we wanted was to provide a snapshot of great films that the festival has introduced to Sydney but also contextualise them - seeing where those films are located now," said Lake.
So what sort of themes emerged as the program was assembled? Lake said that while filmmakers were still focusing on the search for a homeland and issues relating to war and peace, many were dealing with personal relationships this year.
The good news was that comedy was making a comeback, with the choice of the opening night film flagging a bid to make the festival more "inclusive".
There were many book adaptations and more films being shot on digital video, Lake said.
"That shows young and other filmmakers not wanting to be part of that financing drive, wanting to make the types of films they want to make and be able to screen them."
As well as the usual forums, there is a two-day symposium covering such topics as the history of the festival, documentary filmmaking, how film schools shape screen culture, the phenomenon of cinephilia and perspectives on Asian cinema. Called the Persistence of Vision and held in association with the University of Sydney, it runs at the Seymour Centre on June 3 and 4.
Irrespective of how the festival fares with audiences, looming large is a report for the NSW Film and Television Office on options for the future. The unpublished report includes recommendations Robinson said had been "enthusiastically endorsed" by the festival board.

Licensed Clinical Psychologist
567 Vauxhall St Extension, #207, Waterford, Connecticut 06320
As a clinical psychologist, I provide both psychotherapy and psychological testing. Because much information on psychotherapy is on this website, I will describe the testing. Psychological testing is an efficient way to gain a better understanding of yourself or your child. The type of testing I conduct includes: ADHD/ADD, personality (to gain an understanding of yourself to enhance therapy), gastric bipass and lapband readiness, readiness for fertility treatments/surrogacy, gifted evaluations, fitness for duty, IQ, and other mental health concerns (i.e., depression, schizophrenia).
David Russell, Ph.D.
1001 Farmington Ave, Suite 304, West Hartford, Connecticut 06107
Hi, I'm Dr. Dave Russell. I am a psychologist who specializes in intensive counseling and coaching focused on getting to the root and core of your problems. Instead of the traditional 45-minutes-once-a-week talk therapy model, we use 90-minute and 3-HOUR SESSIONS to help you achieve up to 3 months of therapy in each session. So even if you have been in regular talk therapy for months or years without getting to the core, you have an alternative. You need to know that - with the right help and some hard work - you can get rid of your emotional baggage so completely that you will not be able to get yourself upset about your worst memory, your most challenging situation or your most sensitive issue - no matter how hard you try.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, and good with cats.
Hi everyone!! My name is Luke and I'm a gray male kitten approximately 6 weeks of age. My mom was an indoor only cat that unfortunately escaped through a screen door while in heat. When she came back she was found to be pregnant with me and my brothers and sisters. Kitty Junction offered to help my mom's owners have her spayed and to find all of us great homes:)
Luke, a Horsham Domestic Shorthair kitten was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Horsham, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair kitten from a breeder in Horsham.
