Despite the fact that I don't smoke pot — because if I do I will be asleep in approximately three minutes — I have long advocated complete legalization. Largely for libertarian reasons but also because the criminal law is essentially unenforceable. But the medical marijuana regulatory scheme interests me as a grand example of government getting something entirely wrong.
The original medical marijuana regulations allowed people to buy from a single supplier or grow their own or designate a grower. While the system was far from perfect, and found to be unconstitutional, it had the advantage of regulating with a very light hand. But, oh Heavens, there was "leakage". Medical pot was not always only used by medical users. Yikes.
So Health Canada came up with a regulatory scheme which was going to licence grower/distributors and put the users and their growers out of business. Enter Big Green and a bunch of promoters who sold shares in publicly listed companies based on the new regulations. The promoters made a lot of money using a simple story: there were 45,000 medical pot users in Canada (projected to grow to 450,000 users in a decade) who each used about 3 grams a day and who would have no choice but to pay between $8 and $15 a gram for their "medicine". You do the math.
To my not very great surprise, people used to paying $0 to $5.00 a gram did not rush to sign up. And, very quickly, at least in Vancouver, pot shops – for registered users only of course – began to spring up. Becoming a registered user was not tough. As the 5th Estate guy discovered, telling a naturopath a charming story about stress and sleep disturbance over Skype gets you your registration. At which point you are free to buy. (I note the 5th Estate did not ask the pot shop owners where they were getting their pot – which is a rather good question because it is certainly not from the licenced growers as they are not allowed to sell except by mail order.)
As anyone who has lived in Vancouver knows, the Vancouver Police Department has better things to do than bust dispensaries. Plus, given the injunction halting enforcement of the Health Canada regs, it is not obvious what they would bust the dispensaries for that would have a chance of getting past the Crown. But even if they did bust the dispensary and even if the Crown brought charges, it is pretty difficult to see how a judge could find a person guilty who was selling to a registered user.
The problem is that the boffins at Health Canada have not quite figured out that their regulations are assuming a world which does not exist. First, they assume that people want to smoke "legal pot". That might be true if police forces were in the habit of kicking down doors to arrest people smoking pot at home but, I fear, that hasn't happened in years. (It may occasionally occur as a means of harassment but the probable cause issue is usually sufficient to kick the charges.)

QotD: The process of de facto legalization of marijuana in Vancouver

Asthma and the "Hygiene Hypothesis"
An older report at the BBC News website discusses recent research into childhood asthma:
Being exposed to "good bacteria" early in life could prevent asthma developing, say Canadian scientists.
The team, reporting in Science Translational Medicine, were analysing the billions of bugs that naturally call the human body home.
Their analysis of 319 children showed they were at higher risk of asthma if four types of bacteria were missing.
Experts said the "right bugs at the right time" could be the best way of preventing allergies and asthma.
In the body, bacteria, fungi and viruses outnumber human cells 10 to one, and this "microbiome" is thought to have a huge impact on health.
The team, at the University of British Columbia and the Children's Hospital in Vancouver, compared the microbiome at three months and at one year with asthma risk at the age of three.
Children lacking four types of bacteria – Faecalibacterium, Lachnospira, Veillonella, and Rothia (Flvr) – at three months were at high risk of developing asthma at the age of three, based on wheeze and skin allergy tests.
The same effect was not noticed in the microbiome of one-year-olds, suggesting that the first few months of life are crucial.
Further experiments showed that giving the bacterial cocktail to previously germ-free mice reduced inflammation in the airways of their pups.
One of the researchers, Dr Stuart Turvey, said: "Our longer-term vision would be that children in early life could be supplemented with Flvr to look to prevent the ultimate development of asthma
"I want to emphasise that we are not ready for that yet, we know very little about these bacteria, [but] our ultimate vision of the future would be to prevent this disease."

"Changing Canada's copyright term … means two decades where zero historical work enters the public domain"
There may be good parts of the Trans-Pacific Partnership deal, but there are emphatically bad parts, as Jesse Schooff describes in the particular case of the arbitrary extension of copyright in Canada from fifty years to seventy years:
One of the TPP areas of scope which is critical to discuss is the section on copyright. At this point, several notable bloggers* have covered the TPP's copyright extension provisions in great detail. But what do those provisions mean for you? Let's bring it down to the ground. For example: folks in my demographic seem to love seeing old-timey photos of their city. Here in Vancouver, exploring our retro-downtown through old photographs of various eras is practically an official pastime.
A quality source of such photo collections is a city's municipal archives. Traditionally, an archives' mandate is to store physical objects and documents, which include the physical "analog" photos taken during most of the 20th century. "Great!" someone might say, "the archives can just digitize those photos and put them up on their website, right?"
Let's ignore the fact that the solution my strawperson proposes has a host of logistical issues attached, not the least of which is the thousands of work-hours required to digitize physical materials. Our focus is copyright — just because the archives has the original, physical photo in their collection doesn't mean that they own the rights to it.
You have to remember that our newfangled, internet-enabled society is relatively new. When I was a child, if a person wanted to see a historical photo from a city archives, they would actually have to physically GO to said archives and ask an archivist to retrieve the appropriate fonds containing the photo. Journalists and other professionals likely did this regularly, but for the most part, the public at large didn't usually head down to a municipal building and ask an archivist to search through their collection just to look at a few old photos.
Today, things are much different. If a municipal archives has digitized a significant portion of, say, their collection of 19th and 20th century historical photos, then those photos can be curated online; made accessible to the public at large for everyone to access, learn from, and enjoy!
Some of the photos, we'll call them "Group A", were explicitly released into the public domain by the photographer, so those are okay to use. Another bunch, "Group B", are photos whose photographer died more than fifty years ago (1965 and before); any copyright on these photos is expired. Some "Group C" photos were commissioned by a businesses, or the rights were specifically sold to a corporation, which means that the archives will have to get permission or pay a fee to make them available online. Most frustrating is the big "Group D", whose authorship/ownership is sadly ambiguous, for various reasons**. It would be risky for the archives to include the Group D photos in their collection, since they might be violating the copyright of the original author.
So already, knowing and managing the tangle of copyright laws is a huge part of curating these event photos. Hang on, because the TPP is here to make it even worse.
It's been long-known that the United States is very set on a worldwide-standard copyright term of seventy years from the death of the author. Sadly, such a provision made it into the TPP. Worse still, a release by New Zealand's government indicates that this change could be retroactive, meaning that those photos in my hypothetical "Group B" would be yanked out of the public domain and put back under copyright.

The obsession with "rape culture"
At sp!ked, Ella Whelan talks about Canadian reporter Lauren Southern's public dissent from one of the main talking points of the feminist movement:
Southern had previously sparked debate by posting a picture online of her holding up a sign that explained why she didn't 'need feminism' – a response to a popular feminist selfie campaign. Following this up a year later with a video entitled 'Why I am not a feminist', she called out feminism as a 'faux form of equality under a gender-biased word'. In Southern's report on the Vancouver SlutWalk, she explained that she had attended the rally to 'challenge the fearmongering feminist narrative about men, women and violence'. It is this 'rape culture' narrative, she tells me, which is really trivialising rape. 'Women are going to equate things that aren't rape with rape because they interpret guys whistling at them as rape culture', she says. 'The misuse of the word [rape] is very dangerous because it allows for false accusations.'
Southern sees feminists' obsession with 'rape culture' as a languishing in female weakness. 'I've always thought that the main feminist issue was empowering women, in real terms; telling women to go out there, get the job, do what you want, not run around screaming "trigger warning" and crying.' Her assessment of contemporary feminism is astute. Following her visit to the rally in Vancouver, Southern received a barrage of messages from self-proclaimed radical feminists who told her 'they were vomiting all night because they were so triggered' by what she had done. That's right, these women felt physically sick just because someone disagreed with them.
This bizarre prizing of weakness on the part of contemporary feminists is, Southern explains, down to their refusal to engage in debate on a regular basis. 'It's not hard what they do. They go on to a street where everyone agrees with them, wearing their underwear, and get to show off for a day… They don't surround themselves with people who disagree with them.' This refusal to engage in debate was evident at the protest itself, with Southern having to climb up on to a plinth to avoid her sign being covered up by angry protesters.
So where does this desire to portray weakness as a strength come from? Southern puts it down to an institutionalised victim culture in Western universities: 'Academia is obsessed with feminism. You've got a protective narrative which screams "rape culture" at the slightest thing and students just eat it up. Whether that's because they want good grades or not, this stuff doesn't get challenged.' As a result, she says, sexism becomes a 'self-fulfilling prophecy'. 'If you're told that you're a victim as you grow up, you're going to have a confirmation bias when you're not hired for a job but a man is. You'll hear sexism in your head', she says.

Vancouver – where "happiness" doesn't co-relate with "quality of life"
Reducing the realities of life in a given city to a quick numerical value or data point on a chart requires you to ignore subtleties and local influences. Last month, Mark Collins linked to this article by Terry Glavin on what the "quality of life" numbers for Vancouver actually conceal:
If the Economist Intelligence Unit's annual top 10 world cities rankings are what you've been relying on, you probably weren't surprised last month when the global human resources outfit Mercer tagged Vancouver on its Quality of Living index as the best city in North America. But you might have been surprised this week when Statistics Canada released a study showing that, by a variety of indices, Vancouverites are the unhappiest people in Canada, falling dead last among the residents of 33 cities across the country.
We like to think of Lotusland's grand metropolis as a place where people ski, sail, ride their bikes, swim, and hike though lush rainforests, all in the same day. But StatsCan's annual survey of median household income in Canadian cities routinely puts Vancouver close to the bottom of the heap on that same list of 33 cities, and in January the Demographia International research institute ranked Vancouver second to last in a global survey of 378 cities on its Housing Affordability Survey.
Vancouver's median household income in 2014 was $66,400, while the city's median home price was 10.6 times higher: $704,800. Only Hong Kong fared worse, and just barely. Hong Kong also tops Vancouver, again only barely, as the property investment bolt-hole most favoured by Mainland China's loot-laden millionaires. For years, we've been instructed to pretend that this is somehow mere coincidence. You can't get away with talking to Hong Kongers like that, but Vancouverites take it sitting down.
In happier places like Saguenay, Sudbury and Thunder Bay, there's manufacturing, dairy farming, forestry and mining, and there's a high degree of neighborliness and civility. But Vancouverites make most of their money from increases in the real estate value of whatever property they might be lucky to own. This tends to skew any real sense of hometown belonging, and nothing quite so rattles the cages as loose talk about the elaborate, federally-sanctioned swindle that has been keeping the bubble inflated all these years.

Speed Kills … Your Pocketbook
Does speed really kill? Sometimes, yes, but when the speed limits are set artificially low, and enforcement is targeted to those areas where the limit is far below traffic speed, then all the speed kills campaign does is keep drivers complacent about paying fines that don't improve safety.
In this video, I investigate the culture and science surrounding speed enforcement in BC, coupled with my trademark Simpsons, Supertroopers, and Family Guy references.

Counterfeit $100 bills now in circulation, despite all the anti-counterfeiting features
The new polymer bills were touted as having very hard to counterfeit features, and people apparently believed what they were told — because they haven't been bothering to check the new bills:
Less than two years ago, the head of the RCMP said Canada's new polymer bank notes would go a long way in deterring the threat of counterfeiting.
Just last month, the Bank of Canada announced the notes' sophisticated transparency and holography made them "the most secure bank note series ever issued" by the institution.
Too bad somebody forgot to tell criminals in British Columbia.
Mounties and municipal police in Metro Vancouver are warning the public that several of the fake $100 bills have been detected in the region over the past few weeks.
The fanfare about the security features on the bills, may be part of the problem, said RCMP Sgt. Duncan Pound.
"Because the polymer series' notes are so secure … there's almost an overconfidence among retailers and the public in terms of when you sort of see the strip, the polymer looking materials, everybody says 'oh, this one's going to be good because you know it's impossible to counterfeit,'" he said.
"So people don't actually check it."

The funny side of the sex trade
In the National Post, David Granirer talks about a stand-up comedy therapy program he runs to help people suffering from mental illness find ways to cope with their issues. He also ran the program for women in the sex trade and provides a few jokes from a recent performance by members of the program:
* "I've been in detox. While I was there I took a lifeskills course. They taught me how to shop, how to manage money, and how to pay my dealer on time so he'll keep fronting me drugs."
* "When you're selling drugs on the street everyone wants to trade clothes for drugs. You can get a $200 pair of jeans for a $10 rock. Why would you go to Winners after that?"
[. . .]
* "When I first started in sex trade, a friend and I went down to the stroll and I get into a car with 2 guys. At first I thought it was kinky that they were into handcuffs, but then I found out they were cops."
* "But the sex trade is a business like any other. If a john can't pay I turn it over to my collection agency – 2 guys with baseball bats."
* "As a sex trade worker you have to be a psychologist. The only difference is a psychologist's clients don't ask to be peed on."

The Crazy Years: today's exhibit, the $100 hot dog infused with 100-year-old cognac
There are undoubtedly culinary discoveries yet to be made, some of which may well be amazingly tasty. Pulling together unlikely combinations is certainly one way to discover new and interesting flavours. This one, however, strikes me as being just a little bit crazy:
dougieDog Hot Dogs, a popular Vancouver eatery renowned for its creative all-natural hot dogs, has just added the Dragon Dog to its menu — with a price tag of $100. The hot dog features a foot-long bratwurst infused with hundred-year-old Louis XIII cognac, which costs over $2000 a bottle. Also on the dog, Kobe beef seared in olive and truffle oil and fresh lobster. A picante sauce (ingredients undisclosed) ties the flavors together for 12 inches of absolute culinary decadence.
"In designing this hot dog I wanted to come up with something super tasty and high-end that stays true to the traditional identity of the hot dog — a hot dog that any hot dog lover would enjoy," explained dougieDOG proprietor and Chief Hot Dog Designer dougie luv.
I'm surprised the owner's name isn't C.M.O.T. Dibbler …

Timer now started for how quickly Quebec forces Harper to override shipbuilding contract awards
The National Post editorial board has lots of nice things to say about the federal government's attempt to take politics out of the huge shipbuilding contract process:
On Wednesday, the Tory government released its Solomonic decision regarding which shipyards will build $33-billion in new military and non-military vessels over the next two decades. The evaluation of bids for the largest government procurement contract since the Second World War was handled by senior bureaucrats, rather than cabinet ministers. Even the announcement of the winning contractors was made by Francois Guimont, the top civil servant from Public Works and Government Services, rather than his minister or the minister of National Defence, as would have been the case with past contracts of this magnitude.
Of course, that's not to say there will be no political backlash from the decision. Irving Shipbuilding of Halifax will be given $25-billion to build new joint support ships, Canadian Surface Combatants — a sort of destroyer-frigate hybrid — and offshore patrol vessels capable of sailing off all three of Canada's coasts — east, west and Arctic. Seaspan Marine of Vancouver will build science vessels for the Coast Guard and for the Fisheries department, plus icebreakers worth a total of $8-billion. That means Davie Shipyard in Levis, Que. was left without a major shipbuilding contract (though Davie is still eligible to bid on a further $2-billion contract to provide smaller government boats, such as Fisheries patrol vessels). It must have been tempting for the Tories to intervene in the contract-award process and toss Quebec a bigger bone. Their recent decision to expand the grasp of the official languages commissioner to several airlines, and their willingness to give new seats to Quebec in the House of Commons (despite the fact Quebec was not underrepresented there), just because Ontario, B.C. and Alberta were getting more, shows the Tories have become very concerned about their appeal to Quebec voters.
You can guarantee that many Quebec politicians will benefit for having yet another stick to beat the federal government with — this would be true in all scenarios except the one where the Quebec shipyard got both contracts. It would be an even better deal for the taxpayers (and perhaps even the Royal Canadian Navy) if the contracts hadn't been restricted to Canadian shipyards: it wouldn't fly politically, but it would almost certainly have been better bang for the billions of bucks.

An amusing copyright tale (for a change)
Jesse Brown has the most entertaining copyright story I've read in quite a while:
But some of the hooligans exposed on Youtube found a clever way to get the video removed—copyright claims. Under Youtube's "Notice and Takedown" policy, all you need to do is claim you own the rights to a video and demand that it be removed, and Youtube will remove it. The video's uploader will be informed of the allegation and then have a chance to challenge it.
But here's the rub: in order to claim ownership of a video's copyright, you have to identify yourself. And when Youtube informs the uploader that they're being accused of a copyright violation, they have to tell them who their accuser is. So rioters are indirectly handing their names over to the very people who were trying to identify them.

QotD: The tendency to riot among Canadians
Just as cities have to anticipate trouble, ordinary law-abiding folks who think a trip downtown to watch the fun have to accept that they won't necessarily be protected from it, or from the police response. Ontario courts are still dealing with cases of people claiming their rights were trampeled when police reacted to the G20 violence by abandoning their own duties and discipline, and lashing out at anything that stumbled into their path. Hearings are being held to sort out what went wrong, and the force is struggling to retain some respect after doing its best to avoid being held accountable for its own indefensible actions. In other words, once the trouble starts, all bets are off, and anyone who thinks they'll take the kiddies down for a peak, and will somehow be protected when things get out of hand, is deluding themselves.
There is something bizarre going on just beneath the surface of our supposedly decent and civilized society. Canada is prosperous and peaceful, and does as much or more than any country to preserve and protect the rights and opportunities of people fortunate enough to live here. There are certainly inequalities and injustices, but anyone who thinks they'll find a society that tries harder to eliminate them, or is more concerned with trying to spread the benefits equally among all citizens, will have a lengthy search on their hands. It's doubtful in any case that the dolts who ignited the trouble in Vancouver think that deeply, or have any purpose other than mindless mayhem. They deserve no sympathy, and should be treated by the law as harshly as allowed.

Welcome to Vancouver. Please ignore the rioters
Lord Stanley's Cup won't be coming back to Canada this year, but as Brian Hutchison points out, that's only one of the losses sustained by Vancouver last night:
The season ends, and the worst does come to pass. Vancouver, you have lost. Twice. But the game hardly matters now, does it? The score? Who cares? As I write this, my eyes are stinging, my is throat sore, having breathed in some sort of dispersal chemical that police deployed — in desperation, and perhaps too late. There could be some residual effect from having inhaled acrid, toxic smoke from burning cars, exploding cars, destroyed by lunatics still running crazy on the city's downtown streets.
Blood in our streets. I saw people on the ground, bleeding. Shattered glass everywhere. Police cars set alight. Major bridges are now closed, preventing public access into the downtown core. Transit is plugged up, there's no way out. More police and fire crews are arriving, from the suburbs, but again, it seems too late.
And as I write this, the sun has just set. Vancouver, what a disgrace.
Update: A Tumblr page posting photos of the rioters and looters:
The National Post has more photos of the aftermath.
Update: Joey "Accordion Guy" deVilla points out that one of these riots is not like the others. Oh, and a commentary on the most famous photo of the riots (so far).

West coast earthquake zones
According to an article in The Economist, the well-known San Andreas fault in California is not the most likely to cause an earthquake of the magnitude of last week's quake in Japan. The most likely source is the Cascadia subduction zone:
The most likely megaquake on the West Coast would be much further north — in fact, 50 miles off the coast between Cape Mendocino in northern California and Vancouver Island in southern British Columbia. This 680-mile strip of seabed is home to the Cascadia subduction zone, where oceanic crust known as the Juan de Fuca plate is forced under the ancient North American plate that forms the continent. For much of its length, the two sides of this huge subduction zone are locked together, accumulating stresses that are capable of triggering megaquakes in excess of magnitude 9.0 when they eventually slip. As such, Cascadia is more than a match for anything off the coast of Japan.
What makes Cascadia such a monster is not just its length, but also the shallowness of the angle with which the encroaching tectonic plate dives under the continental mass. The descending plate has to travel 40 miles down the incline before it softens enough from the Earth's internal heat to slide without accumulating further frictional stresses. Could the fault unzip from end to end and trigger a megaquake — along with the mother of all tsunamis? You bet. By one account, it has done so at least seven times over the past 3,500 years. Another study suggests there have been around 20 such events over the past 10,000 years. Whatever, the "return time" would seem to be within 200 to 600 years.
And the last time Cascadia let go? Just 311 years ago.

Don't worry, liquor fans, they'll soon stop over-serving you
Did you know that the US shot glass is ever so slightly larger than the Imperial one? These guys didn't, but they do now:
To be fussy about it — and who's fussier than a liquor tax auditor? — a U.S. fluid ounce works out to 29.574 millilitres while the imperial (that is, Canadian) ounce is 28.413. While that may not sound like a big discrepancy to you, it means Canadian bars using U.S. shot glasses, as virtually all of them do, have spent years serving countless more litres of liquor than legally required. The upshot for your shots is that they'll soon be 7% lighter.
Owners had no idea there was a difference between a U.S. shot and a Canadian one. "I'd say it's totally unrecognized," Tweter says. Finding imperial shot glasses proved impossible, and Tweter and Wilson took matters into their own hands. They sourced a factory in China to make a slightly smaller-than-usual vessel. Meet the Can-Pour, probably the only imperial ounce shot glass on the Canadian market.
As a result of rounding, the standard U.S. shot glass actually works out to 30 millilitres while the Can-Pour pours an even 28. Tweter points out this falls within Weights and Measurements Canada's tolerances. A chart on Tweter and Wilson's website shows how a bar with annual liquor purchases of $360,000 could save more than $25,000 by pouring a little less. Doesn't that cheat the customer? "The two-millilitre difference is virtually undetectable. It's literally drops," Tweter says.
So drink up, Vancouver shot fans: you'll soon be paying the same for slightly less alcohol per drink.

Dissatisfaction on the Marches
Covering demonstrations on the Mall is a thankless job. Journalists know two things about these events: Organizers often inflate the number of participants, and there will be complaints no matter how a demonstration is covered or displayed.
Woe to the reporter who tries to estimate the crowd; unfortunately, law enforcement officials refuse to make crowd estimates anymore.
Several readers complained that the story on the Jan. 22 antiabortion march was underplayed and that the Jan. 27 antiwar march was overplayed. John Billing of Ocean Pines, Md., was succinct: "Last week, The Post covered the pro-life march in Washington on Page A10. Today, the Post covered the antiwar march in Washington in the middle of Page 1, above the fold. No bias? B.S."
Some questioned the lack of specific crowd estimates. Reporters safely said only that both marches drew "tens of thousands." One woman left me a voice mail that said: "Hundreds of thousands of people came for the March for Life." Another reader said: "The only time the media doesn't estimate the crowd like this is when it is nowhere near what they predicted." Organizers of the antiabortion march did not give an estimate, but the antiwar organizers -- United for Peace and Justice -- said on their Web site that 500,000 people were on the Mall. No one I talked to thought anywhere near that many were there.
It used to be simple to get an official crowd estimate from the District police, the Capitol Police or the National Park Service. The Park Service used aerial photos from helicopters or the Washington Monument and a grid system -- count the people in one part of the picture and multiply that by the number of blocks filled.
Executive Editor Len Downie said The Post used Washington Monument photos to count Mall crowds. "We older hands have a feel for this by now, and one or more of us would walk down to check out the crowds ourselves. The first Million Man March was the last I saw to nearly fill the entire Mall, which meant it was definitely hundreds of thousands, while demonstrations that fill up to a few blocks of the Mall are in the tens of thousands."
Reporters said that both marches were a few blocks long. I looked through all the march photos from Post and wire photographers to see if one gave a clue. No luck. Joe Elbert, assistant managing editor for photography, said, "Generally, we attempt to set a sense of place and sense of crowd but nothing that would be of value for crowd estimates."
The Post cannot fly a helicopter over the Mall because of anti-terrorism rules. And the Park Service was basically forbidden by Congress to make crowd estimates after controversies over its counts, especially after the Million Man March on Oct. 16, 1995. District and Capitol Police spokesmen followed the Park Service's lead.
One police official who was at both demonstrations told me on deep background -- forgive me, I'm using an anonymous source -- that the protest crowds were about the same size and looked to be fewer than 50,000 each. Park Service officials said United for Peace and Justice and March for Life representatives both applied for march permits for crowds of 50,000.
David Barna, National Park Service chief of public affairs, wishes crowd estimates were still done because of their historic value. He is right. It was a valuable public service, and Congress was wrong to outlaw it. The record crowd on the Mall was 1.2 million for Lyndon Johnson's inauguration on Jan. 20, 1965.
As for display in The Post, the antiabortion march is always on Jan. 22, the date of the Supreme Court's Roe v. Wade decision in 1973 that led to legal abortion. This is the 34th anniversary of that decision and not a reason to put the event on Page 1 in my book.
The controversy surrounding the Iraq war, the turnover in Congress and President Bush sending more troops to Iraq made the antiwar march worth Page 1. The Post has been criticized in the past for underplaying antiwar marches.

Skip to this pages content | Skip to site navigation | Skip to My Red Cross
Australian Red Cross celebrated its 100th birthday, back where it all began at Melbourne's Government House. Just days after the outbreak of WWI, the wife of the then Governor-General, Lady Helen Munro Ferguson founded Red Cross in Australia and transformed the ballroom of her residence into Red Cross headquarters during the Great War.
Victorian patron Mrs Elizabeth Chernov, and wife of His Excellency the Honourable Alex Chernov AC QC Governor of Victoria, joined Red Cross to launch Centenary book, The Power of Humanity 100 years of Red Cross in Australia. Mrs Chernov also honoured 24 Red Cross branches that had given a century of service to Victoria and the nation. In her speech, she honoured the people of today and yesterday who have been there for Australians during their darkest hours, during wars, disasters and personal crisis.
President of Australian Red Cross Michael Legge in his speech spoke about how Red Cross' has endured over a century, responding to the critical needs of the day.
"The Australian Red Cross we know today has been shaped by adapting and responding to changing community needs. We continue to evaluate our everyday work: asking who most needs our help, and how we can best help them," Mr Legge said.
"Red Cross relies on generous public support to carry out our vital everyday work and so that we can be ready to respond to the humanitarian issues which lie ahead."
Professor Melanie Oppenheimer from Flinders University spent years researching Red Cross history for the book. Speaking with Fran Kelly on ABC Radio National, she noted the explosion in membership by the Second World War with 400,000 volunteers.
Professor Oppenheimer said: "It is amazing, up to 95% of the membership were women, almost one in seven Australians…Red Cross became part of a local grassroots community of people helping people and became part and parcel of the fabric of Australian life".
The Power of Humanity: 100 years of Red Cross in Australia spans our founding in war to our broad work in helping vulnerable people today. You can purchase it on our online Centenary Shop.

Directix Chi Chi LaRue is joining forces with GayHotMovies.com for an ambitious new online series. Sentenced is set to be presented in 12 exclusive webisodes and stars hairy hunk Mike DeMarko (above). "This has been one of my favorite projects to date," LaRue says. "The cast, sets and sex are stellar!" Well, with a group of sexy newcomers and porn star favorites including Alessandro Del Toro, Trenton Ducati and Billy Santoro, what would you expect? The series has an edgy, almost ethereal vibe to it, but the big selling point here is DeMarko's meaty horse cock. Too bad he only bottoms in two of the scenes we've watched. The first three episodes, "Cruising & Boozing," "Undressed & Undercover" and "Intense Interrogation," are live now and can be streamed on both C1R and GayHotMovies. The complete 12-episode series will be packaged into Rascal's three-part Sentenced, Punished and Released series. Stay tuned!

About the Book
Two photo essays shot in the spring of 2008. As I shot each in its turn I came to feel that the compilations were taking on sharply contrasting energies. Though I had set out with the intention of capturing one idea--the result was two separate stories. For this reason, I started calling them my ketu and rahu photo essays--these are the South and North nodes of the moon in Vedic astrology, and though they are parts of the same rock, they are representative of vast energetic opposites.
Thank you for taking a look at my book!

text: Have just returned from a few days stay on Ms.Luctor...we had a lovely time helped by good weather. The accommodation was really good...a little bit different from the usual bed & breakfast...being on a boat...having the use of bikes ...which I would recommend. However the bikes do take some getting use to as do the skills required to ride them in Amsterdam! Also the canoe is great fun too. Though Flip (the owner) was available to offer advice / suggestions, he was not at all intrusive. He provided us with wonderful breakfasts each morning ...which quite frankly could do lunch as well! The boat is moored in a good quiet location...and only a short ride into the Amsterdam hub. All in all a lovely experience.

Fall in the southwest US means moderate temperatures and the start of a new growing season. Be it planting mums in your front yard or commercially-farmed lettuce fields, fall is the perfect time for digging in the soil. Unfortunately, the fungus Coccidioides thrives in the arid landscape of the southwest, resulting in the illness called Valley fever.
Valley fever, named from the San Joaquin Valley in California, is one of the most common infectious diseases in Arizona, with fungal spores spread by the wind or contact with the soil. It is also common in California. Valley fever, rarely deadly, affects residents and agricultural workers alike. Symptoms are like the flu: fatigue, cough, fever, headache, and rash. If the symptoms progress, the illness can spread to other parts of the body and lead to life-threatening meningitis. Patients with respiratory issues or suppressed immune systems are more susceptible to infection.
At least 44 workers installing solar farms in the San Luis Obispo County of California became infected with the disease. These workers were grading the soil, digging trenches, and working in the trenches. Most required taking time off work to recover, and two had complications. OSHA cited the construction companies for not keeping the workers safe by limiting exposure to high levels of dust.
In the last 15 years, cases of Valley fever have quadrupled. Periods of drought followed by heavy rains allow the fungi to grow and spread. The actual numbers of infected people far exceed reported cases since 40% don't have any symptoms and most recover without medical attention. Early detection and treatment of Valley fever improves patient outcomes for severe cases. The increase in cases could be a result of more people traveling to warmer regions, the increase in agricultural production, and the construction of homes further out into the desert.
Schroeder, Michael. "The mysterious rise of Valley Fever." Lifestyle. AOL News, 13 Nov 2015. Web. 15 Nov 2015.

does stop smoking make you tired and sleepyREAD MORE
do stop smoking make you tired and sleepy
Thanks for your question.
This is true for two reasons. First of all, nicotine is a stimulant and without it, you may feel tired and sleepy. Also, during withdrawal from nicotine, many people have trouble sleeping, which makes your feel more tired and sleepy during the day. But hang in there for the next couple of weeks, because these symptoms will clear. One suggestion is to start an exercise program which will stimulate your system and senses, and help you sleep better at night, while giving you some short term goals to work for in your workouts.
Congratulations on your efforts to quitting this nasty and unhealthy habit/addiction.
Best wishes.
Martin Cane, M.D.
In my case it makes me extremely sleepy. I have been on Chantix now for 6 weeks. After 35 years of 3 1/2 packs a day I am smoke free and loving it. So my though was that a bit of sleepiness is worth the trade off. Now I am beginning to question this. It has become so bad that on the days I am off, which is often since I am part time, I can sometimes sleep for 16 to 20 hours. To me this seems a bit exessive to say the least. Is this a normal thing as far as anyone knows?READ MOREYou should know Answers to your question are meant to provide general health information but should not replace medical advice you receive from a doctor.

We all occasionally find it difficult to find adequate words to give thanks.
When we do, we turn to Shakespeare.
Perhaps the best expression of thanks in the Shakespeare canon is Don John's terrific monologue in Much Ado About Nothing, here delivered with the inimitable style of Keanu Reeves:
May you all have a delightful Thanksgiving.

Big First Lifts No. 1 Vandy to Series-Evening Win
Box Score | Notes | Photo Gallery
LEXINGTON, Ky. -- Behind a six-run first inning, highlighted by a grand slam from Conrad Gregor, No. 1 Vanderbilt rode the early cushion and a splendid pitching performance from Grayson Garvin, posting a 10-3 series-evening win over Kentucky, on Saturday night at Cliff Hagan Stadium.
The Vanderbilt win sets up a rubber match for the series on Sunday afternoon. UK will send sophomore righty Jordan Cooper (3-1, 4.37 ERA) to the mound for his first conference start since March 26 at Alabama, facing off with Vandy senior righty Taylor Hill (4-0, 3.03 ERA). The game will be broadcast live on the Big Blue Sports Network (radio), with the Voice of UK Baseball, Neil Price, calling the action. Fans in Lexington can hear the game live on WLAP 630-AM, in Louisville on WKJK 1080-AM and online at UKathletics.com.
The Wildcats rode a dominating performance from junior right-handed starter Alex Meyer in the series opener Friday night, as UK got a 2-0 win and a complete-game shutout from Meyer. Vanderbilt jumped out strong in the series-evening win Saturday, plating six runs in the top of the first and adding single runs in the third and sixth, and two runs in the seventh.
Kentucky (21-26, 5-18 Southeastern Conference) was led offensively by junior Chad Wright, who continued to whack the baseball at a blistering pace, extending his team-high hitting streak to nine games after launching his fifth homer of the year in the sixth inning. The Paducah, Ky., native has now reached base safely in 23 consecutive games and owned UK's lone multi-hit game of the contest, going 3-for-5 with two RBI and a run scored. The Wildcats also got hits from Thomas McCarthy, J.T. Riddle and Luke Maile, with senior Taylor Black collecting his 14th double of the year.
UK starter Corey Littrell (5-5) suffered the loss, allowing seven runs and nine hits in five innings of work, recording three strikeouts and three walks. Senior Nick Kennedy relieved Littrell and went 1.2 innings, allowing five hits and three runs, not issuing a walk and not recording a strikeout. Braden Kapteyn replaced Kennedy and despite allowing a single to the first hitter he faced that scored an inherited run, the junior tossed the final 2.1 innings with just the one hit allowed. Kapteyn's outing was arguably the best of his season on the mound, striking out three without allowing a run, walk or hit batter.
Vanderbilt (39-6, 18-5 SEC) starter Garvin (10-1) picked up his league-leading 10th win of the year, going eight inning, allowing only six hits and one run, not issuing a walk and striking out two. Hard-throwing righty Jack Armstrong relieved him and got one out in the ninth before Corey Williams got the final two outs to end the contest.
Vanderbilt got on the board in its first opportunity, as leadoff man Tony Kemp popped up a bunt over the pitching mound in front of the second-base bag for a single. Anthony Gomez then chopped a single off the plate, going as a slow-rolling single down the third base line that McCarthy couldn't field in time for the throw to first. After a pair of wild pitches put the duo in scoring position, Jason Esposito hung a double down the leftfield line on a 3-2 offering, scoring Kemp and Gomez for an early 2-0 Vanderbilt lead. Mike Yastrzemski drew a four-pitch walk and Curt Casali loaded the bases with a walk. Gregor then belted a 2-1 offering from Littrell into the deck in right-centerfield, giving VU a 6-0 lead.
VU got another run in the top of the third inning, as Gregor led off with a single up the middle, moved to second on a sacrifice bunt and took third on a wild pitch, scoring on Kemp's RBI groundout.
The Dores got another run in the top of the sixth inning, as Kemp doubled into the gap to lead off, moved to third on a groundout from Gomez and scored on an RBI groundout from Aaron Westlake.
UK got on the board in the bottom of the sixth inning, as Wright launched a solo homer over the rightfield fence, his fifth of the year to cut the lead to 8-1.
Vandy added a pair of runs in the top of the seventh inning, as Casali reached on a one-out single up the middle, moving to second on a 3-4-3 groundout from Gregor. Riley Reynolds scored Casali with a single chopped up the middle, making it 9-1 Vandy. After Connor Harrell singled to centerfield, Kemp recorded his fourth hit of the game with a single to rightfield, scoring Reynolds for a 10-1 lead.
UK rallied in the bottom of the ninth inning, as Armstrong walked three hitters to lead off the frame and Brian Adams forced in a run with a bases-loaded walk. After pinch hitter Micheal Thomas struck out swinging for the second out, Wright picked up an infield single to the left side to score a run. Black then flied out to right field to end the game.
GAME NOTES: Chad Wright extended his hitting streak to nine straight games with his fifth home run of the season in the sixth inning ... He has reached base safely in 24 straight games ... It was Wright's 11th career home run ... Kentucky allowed six or more runs in one inning for the sixth time this season ... Taylor Black, Chad Wright, and Braden Kapteyn continued to be the only Wildcats to start all 47 games this season for UK ... The Wildcats drew four walks in the ninth inning, including three straight to start the frame ... Braden Kapteyn made his 13 pitching appearance of the season, it was his eighth relief appearance of the season without yielding a run.

The GuestClose
For Parents
Common Sense Note
Parents need to know that The Guest is a thriller about a mysterious and potentially violent guest; a teen brother and sister are the main protagonists. Violence is strong but not particularly realistic -- a highly trained specialist beats up, shoots, stabs, and otherwise kills several characters. Blood sprays, and bloody wounds are shown. There's one sex scene, with a topless female shown, as well as characters in seductive states of partial undress. Language includes many uses of "f--k," "p---y," "f----t," and other terms. Teens regularly smoke pot (and drink beer in one scene), one character is a drug dealer, and the father appears to have a drinking problem. Teen horror fans will know the director, Adam Wingard, and others may be drawn in by star Dan Stevens, of Downton Abbey fame. While it's a thrill ride that's not meant to be taken seriously, it's still too edgy for all but the oldest teens.
- Sexual Content
- The main character has sex with a girl at a party. She removes her top and shows her breasts. A teen girl is seen in her underwear, and the main character emerges from the shower wearing only a towel, showing off his chest. A teen girl kisses her boyfriend at night. There's a drink called a "blow job shot."
- Violence
- A violent rampage includes stabbing, shooting, spurts of blood, bloody wounds, grenades, explosions, and car crashes. There are also a couple of fast-paced fight scenes, with a character beating others into unconsciousness in just a few seconds, sometimes pausing to break a leg or two. Some school bullies pick on a teen boy, slamming him up against a metal locker. The boy fights one of the bullies in class, punching and hitting him with a yardstick.
- Language
- Strong language includes multiple uses of "f--k," "p---y," "ass," "s--t," and "f----t."
- Social Behavior
- There's no real message here, except maybe "be careful who you let in your house."
- Consumerism
- Not applicable
- Drugs / Tobacco / Alcohol
- The father seems to have a drinking problem; he guzzles down booze (both beer and whisky) as soon as he gets home and drinks until he goes to sleep. Teens regularly smoke pot. The main teen girl refuses to smoke at first but eventually joins in at a "kegger" party. Teens also drink beer at the party. One of the secondary characters is a drug dealer.
- Age appropriate
- Not an issue
- Depends on your kid and your family
- Not appropriate for kids of the age most likely to want to see it

How to Read
Learning to read and teaching reading is a complex process. The worksheets here support learning to read. Learning to read begins with: learning the letter names and the sounds (use alpha dictionaries, flash cards and alphabet worksheets and printables etc.) Then use phonics, word families and high frequency words (Dolch words). Use worksheets for beginning and ending sounds. Learning to read goes beyond decoding and comprehension strategies are also important. Comprehension strategies include: re-telling a story, inferring meaning, understanding the sequence of events, recognizing main ideas, understanding cause and effect, making predictions, understanding point of view, determining the author's intent for writing (to inform, entertain, humor...)making connections (this reminds me of, this book is similar to...), summarizing, distinguishing between fact and opinion, understanding point of view, distinguishing between fiction and non fiction. See the how to read worksheets and printables below.

- #54064Hello,
Well this is pretty difficult task to reduce weight in 10 days. But as Dinesh suggested you to increase the liquid food in your diet. Strictly say NO to Sweets, Tea, Coffee and any oily food. These things really help you to reduce your body weight. And don't do dieting I mean not to reduce the quantity of food in your daily diet if you do so then it will be a big problem for you. Increase fruits in your diet. And try to have dark green leafy veggie. And do atleast 15-20 mins brisk walking in the morning. Drink lots of water. And one of the most important aspect is that is you have any stress then reduce it first.

- #54401Hai friend,
Your demand is good , but we can realize it is not a good thing to reduce weight in 10 days when we think practically.you just think that how much time you taken to gain this much weight in this early stage.It might not be like 5 kg in a week.So, be patient and give some time to reduce your weight.Other wise, it will gain back to your body in that much fast.i.e.It won't be a permanent weight lose.And alert to over eating and understand the risks that if you are not doing regular exercises.
So don't worry you can do reduce your weight by change your diet and eating habits as given below and shall stay in a controlled weight for ever.It won't going to grab your all study time.Give daily 20 to 30 minutes time to do exercise.
You can go through the below eating habits,you will find the result.
a)Space meals evenly.
Keep meals approximately the same size, spaced evenly through the day. Don't skip meals. It makes fattening snacks tempting
b)Plan snacks.
Save part of your calorie allowance to snack later on, instead of going off your diet.
c)Eat slowly.
Chew each mouthful thoroughly. Put down your fork frequently. Stop eating when you feel full.
1.Take leafy vegetables regularly (Spinach, fenugreek leaves,coriander leaves, curry leaves, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower), cooked rice, raw foods like gourd, cucumber etc. It is better avoid old foods and only take fresh foods and have cooked food at least within 3 hours because later they lose its quality and lead to unhealthy problems.
2. Change your eating habits: Eat in right quantity at right timings. Half of the stomach should be reserved for food, one-fourth for beverages and remaining one-fourth should be left for air.
3.Have plenty of high fiber contained fruits like pomegranate, guava, papaya etc daily in empty stomach and drink enough water early morning and half an hour before your meals. Don't drink water in between your meals.
4.Include dry fruits and nuts in your daily diet instead of meat and try various salads in your diet like follow. Mix with soaked and budded bengal gram and moong dal, pepper, lemon juice (2 spoons), olive oil (1 spoon), enough salt and chopped onions.Make it as one time meal.
5.Use olive oil instead of high cholesterol oils like palm oils.
6.Use fresh juices and pure water in right quantity in spite of other artificial juices and soft drinks.
7.Strictly reduce the timings of food as three and while eating you should chew the food properly. It helps to digest easily and avoid constipation.
8.Do regular exercises like Soorya-Namaskar and some special yoga asanas which make strengthen your digestive organs and helps to reduce weight.You should take water or food only after exercise 20 or 30 minutes later.
9.Nowadays we take too much trash foods like canned, packed, frozen, fried and baked items. If we are also not doing enough exercise to burn our extra fat, it will form fat body & flabby abdomen.So should not consume trash foods like said above.
10.Avoid non veg foods and other foods which contained preservatives and chemical additives.
11.Minimize the usage of free sugar as much as possible and also skip the biscuits, ice creams , diet soda , soft drinks (pepsi,coco cola,merinda ect.)and sweets which contained artificial sugars
12.Don't sleep in excess. Sleep maximum 8 hours or minimum 6 hours.
13.Avoid the habit of taking snacks in several intervals.
14.Keep away from needless drugs.
15.Avoid chocolates contained cocoa butter.
16.Avoid butter or take monthly.

- #544031. Start your day with Hot water with lemon and honey. Add 1 lemon juice and 1/4th teaspoon of pure honey in hot water and drink this empty stomach. Have your breakfast half an hour after you had this drink. You can continue to follow this even during your school days. On a long run this will help you maintain your weight.
2. Drink hot water (hot to the extent that you can bear it and not burn your tongue) instead of just plain water during the day whenever possible.
3. Do some aerobics/exercise. If you do not have time, include physical activities like walking, climbing stairs instead of using lifts etc in your daily routine. Try to take 10 minutes in the morning from your daily routine and do skipping everyday. Do it for 400 counts (100 count in each rep and do it 4 times)
4. Reduce intake of soda (cold drinks), fast foods, chips etc which adds upto unnecessary calories. Carry a water bottle of 1-2 litres with you and whenever you are hungry have water. Most of the time what we think of hunger is thirst but we load ourselves with unnecessary calories. Carry your lunch box and snack box from home. You can carry sandwich, fresh fruits with you and munch on it whenever you are hungry.
5. Do not have rice for dinner. Substitute milk with skimmed milk, white bread with whole grain bread/chapati. Avoid frozen foods and have it fresh.
6. Since you are school going kid, have minimum 8 hours of sleep everyday. Lack of sleep can make you fat too
7. Since you are a kid get involved in outdoor games rather than sitting at home and watching TV!!
- #54408Hello,
Oho poor champ you cant loose much in 10 days. You will think that you have loosen those fats but actually it just only suppressed and it will grow faster after 10 days. Sorry but I would suggest you to stick to have nice breakfast. Bowl of oat meal and a banana. Avoid fried potato and take Dal as much as you can.
Best idea is to sleep in saant position on the floor and breath in and out for 20 secs each. Do it for 25 mints and see the results.
Drink warm water with honey and lime and skipping for 15 mints.
Do this regularly to loose weight and maintain standard figure.

- #54554Hi friend,
don't worry, i have a right way to show you
my answer will not make you bore as it is very simple!
Take 100gm of immeresed soya beans in water, 4 time a day. Exclude all other foods.
Practically i saw fat to lean individuals by eating soya beans!
You may felt somewhat hard to swallow soya, but it is very effective.
Take care!
- #55055Hello
I am also suffering from the problem of overweight. I want to ask from Mr. Anand, that is it possible to reduce weight with the diet suggested by him. I want him to elaborate his diet. Does he means that one has to be entirely on this diet for reducing weight and for how many days one should follow this diet? I also want to know that what if, after coming back to normal diet one gets back all the lost weight. Please throw a light on this.
- #58114Change your Eating and Drinking Habits
Reduce OR significantly eliminate RED MEAT
Build your meals around fish and poultry.
Always keep your temptation at bay and reduce poor fast food and other dishes at the restaurants. These foods are full of calories, over-sized and very high in fat content.
Keep away the fried foods.
Always have lot of salads or cup of soup for starters before the meals. This habit will help in weight loss because it will curb your hunger, prevent you from over-eating.
After your meals do not go for for high calorie sweet dishes or dessert. Ensure that you are taking naturally-sweet fruits.
Keep a distance from Sodas and Colas. They have a large amount of calorie. Changing your drinking habit is important because we can consume lot of calories by drinking without realizing the amount of calories.
For example, drinking 20 ounces of Coca-Cola will give you 250 calories. If you drink few glasses of Cola your consumption is over 1,000 liquid calories.
These drinks go straight to your waist!
Drinking lot of water always help. Follow the thumb rule - eight glasses per day.
Drinking more water will also help you in reducing the temptation of drinking Colas.
Avoid alcohol as it has lot of calories and provoke you to eat more.
Thanks and Regards
Rajesh Rana
- #58115The best advice i would give is not to change your eating habits drastically! Because your body is accustomed to your daily routine, so any change all of a sudden will lead to some unwanted consequences.
I recommend you just to reduce the calorie intake and WORK OUT, thats the best solution for reducing weight, but dont torture your body if your weight doesnt decrease as you want it to.
It just takes time but eventually you will. If Adnan Sami could do it then so can we all! (no offense).
All the best

Question: The power steering on my 1989 Olds 88 seems stiff first thing in the morning. After I drive the car for a while, the steering gets easier to turn. The power steering fluid level is correct. Why does the steering seem stiff in the morning?
Answer: Your problem is caused by a worn steering rack. Seals inside the rack and pinion steering unit have worn into the aluminum housing causing binding in the rack. After the power steering fluid and the steering rack warm up, the unit frees up and the steering wheel is easier to turn.
Take a look at the power steering fluid in the reservoir to verify my diagnosis. Normally the fluid should be an amber or light brown colour. If the fluid looks black or grey, then aluminum particles from the steering rack have contaminated the oil.
Replacing the steering rack with a rebuilt or new unit is the best way of correcting the hard steering. Updated seals and rack components have been used for a few years so a rebuilt unit or new unit has advantages over a used one from a salvage yard.
Be sure to flush out all the old fluid from the power steering pump and reservoir or the contaminated fluid will quickly start to wear the new rack. Use only power steering fluid to fill the reservoir. Automatic transmission oil may look similar, but has different additives in it that are not always compatible with the seals in the power steering. Leaks may be the result.
A wheel alignment is required after installing the rack because the adjustments for tire toe are done with the rack tie rods that connect to the wheels.

But a forthcoming exhibition at Tate Britain promises to re-establish his radical originality, and to cast fascinating light on his unique working practices.
The blockbuster will unite, for the first time, the nine huge landscape paintings he made for display at the Royal Academy between 1819 and the 1830s, which represent "the very essence of his achievements", according to Tate Britain director Stephen Deuchar. With them, also for the first time, will be shown the nine full-size oil sketches that he made in preparation for the final works, which he called his "six-footers". It has taken eight years of delicate negotiations with lenders to bring together these paintings, which are scattered around collections in Europe and the US.
Constable's Herculean practice of making full-size oil sketches is "unique in western art before or since", according to Anne Lyles, co-curator of the show. By seeing them alongside the eventual paintings, new insight will be gleaned into the way he worked - as he altered details significantly, reworked or painted out figures and shifted objects such as trees or sails.
New x-ray research on the full-scale oil sketch of View on the Stour near Dedham (1821-2), for example, has shown that Constable changed his mind several times. He started with two little boys fishing on the side of the river and a little girl in the foreground - discernible only in the x-ray image, since he then painted them over. He replaced them with two lads sitting on the edge of the river, which can be seen in the sketch, but in the finished work the figures do not appear at all.
Apart from providing the viewer with a fascinating game of spot-the-difference, the process is immensely revealing of Constable's artistic methods. According to Ms Lyles, he was, unlike his contemporary Turner, a slow starter, who struggled by increments to achieve the technical prowess to handle paint successfully at this extravagant scale.
His care and painstaking preparation is a testament to his dogged determination to make these masterpieces work, all the while withstanding varying degrees of incomprehension from contemporary critics at his radically loose handling of paint, which flew in the face of accepted practice. One likened his "unfinished-looking" Chain Pier, Brighton (1826-7) to a newly built house with the scaffolding left on.
Ms Lyles also emphasised Constable's radical way of treating the pointedly ordinary, humble folk who people his English landscapes. In the Royal Academy annual shows where these "six-footers" were exhibited, they would have hung beside grandiose history paintings and mythological scenes.
Depicting the massive physical effort of a lock-keeper, for instance, right down to his sweaty armpit, alongside the exploits of heroes of classical legend was revolutionary, Ms Lyles argued. "The grand ladies who visited the Royal Academy would never have seen anything like it," said Sarah Cove, founder of the Constable Research Project.
· The exhibition opens at Tate Britain on June 1, then travels to the National Gallery of Art, Washington, and the Huntington Library and Art Gallery, San Marino

Meet the new team
Hi everyone!
My name is Rebecca O' Sullivan and I'm the Wired FM studio executive for the coming academic year. I've been an active volunteer with the station for the past two years. During 2015/16 I was part of the current affairs show 'Wired In', which won a Craol award. I'm also hugely interested in up and coming Irish bands. Feel free to stop and chat to me anytime, I'm here to help! If you want to get involved in the station in anyway possible or even wish to highlight a topic you think we should cover, contact me anytime!
Ben Sweeney
This year I'm one of Wired FM's Studio Executives. I've been a volunteer at Wired FM since I was a first year, back in 2014. Over the years I've presented Morning Mayhem and The Final Whistle, and I won the awards for Unsung Hero and Best Overall Production at the Wired FM awards last year. I hope that this year I can help to bring Wired FM to greater heights, especially this year as we are celebrating our 21st birthday party!
For the next twelve weeks or so I will be working as a Studio Executive with Wired FM. In this role I'm hopeful plenty of new recruits will come on board with the station and for some dip their toes in the radio world for the first time. A personal aim of mine is to make the environment at Wired as creative and welcoming as possible. Getting involved with Wired furthered my expertise in the radio world and gave me the freedom to develop a show and progress it over the course of a year which was voted the Best Specialist Talk-Show of the station in 2016. Along with Wired I am involved in the local media scene in Clare and am looking forward to bringing the same commitment to the station. If you think you would like to go down a similar path, then Wired FM is a must-stop on that journey. Our door is always open!
