2:00 amTony Robinson - Down Under [#101Z] Race to the End of the World Tony examines the beginnings of white settlement in Australia. Why did it remain undiscovered by European maritime nations for so many hundreds of years, and how was Captain Cook able to claim it for Britain in 1770? Tony gets an aboriginal perspective of what it was like to witness boatloads of ghost-like creatures arriving from over the horizon ... the first contact. He finds a man with an incredible theory about who really got to Australia first after the aborigines. Was it the Dutch? The French? The Chinese? Or perhaps, just perhaps, Egyptians set foot Down Under thousands of years ago. duration 52:04 STEREO TVPG
2:53 amTony Robinson - Down Under [#102Z] Against The Odds The colony started with a bang, but from that point it was a bitter struggle for survival. With the assistance of Tim Flannery, Tony recreates the orgy that was said to have taken place when women were brought ashore many days after the men first landed. From day one the challenge was to find and grow food to sustain the new colony. Captain Phillip had come well stocked, but had neglected to bring a farmer. Knowing that food was their lifeline, he issued a decree: if food is stolen, the thief will be hanged whether he be convict or soldier. Phillip also tried to engage the indigenous people, with disastrous results. Thomas Keneally takes Tony to the beach where Australia's first assassination attempt took place: the spearing of Governor Arthur Phillip. duration 1:06:39 STEREO TVPG

7:30 pmTHIS WEEK in Northern California [#2333H] June 15, 2012 NEWS PANEL
BUDGET UPDATE - As home care workers and their clients protested at the state Capitol, legislative Democrats sent their second budget plan to Gov. Brown earlier this week. Though it does not include hundreds of millions of dollars in cuts to welfare and other social programs that the governor demanded, Democratic lawmakers say that both houses plan to vote before the midnight deadline on June 15 to avoid losing their salaries. Republicans boycotted the budget hearing Thursday saying the process lacks transparency.
BAY AREA TRANSIT - It's been a big week for transportation in the Bay Area. A West Oakland fire shut down BART service on Thursday, creating havoc for East Bay commuters. CalTrans struck back at the Sacramento Bee's allegations of improper inspections on the Bay Bridge's new eastern span structure. Meanwhile, excavation began this week on San Francisco's Central Subway tunnel, despite the fact that federal funding for the majority of the $1.6 billion project is still pending approval.
FIRE SEASON - California fire season is off to an early and active start, due to a record dry winter, rising temperatures and gusty winds. Firefighters have already responded to twice as many wildfires as they had by this time last year. According a new UC Berkeley study, the West will be increasingly prone to wildfires over the next three decades, due to the effects of climate change.

But last fall, after he conducted a comprehensive analysis of more than 200 years of global temperature data, he emerged an apparent convert. Now Muller's set to publish a new book that could thrust him in the spotlight again; "Energy for Future Presidents" casts a critical eye on many current "green energy" solutions while championing more controversial methods like nuclear power and natural gas fracturing or "fracking." duration 26:46 STEREO TVRE -

At the same time the former Massachusetts governor was in Cincinnati criticizing President Obama's leadership, blaming him for the sluggish economy and telling voters why he is the better choice in November. Who's winning the debate over the economy? Karen Tumulty of The Washington Post will have the latest from the campaign trail.
* Europe is dealing with its own economic crisis that's left millions of people across the continent out of work. Doyle McManus of the Los Angeles Times returns from a trip overseas to report on how a number of austerity programs designed to ease the European recession have done little to reduce high unemployment and stabilize economies.
* As the violence continues to escalate in Syria, Russia is rejecting claims by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton that Moscow is supplying Damascus with arms that could be used against peaceful protesters. Peter Baker of The New York Times will examine how the crisis in Syria has strained US-Russian relations ahead of President Obama's meetings with Russian President Vladimir Putin next week.
* Just days after announcing an independent investigation into national security leaks, Attorney General Eric Holder had to defend his decision to a Senate Judiciary Committee. Republican Committee members want Holder to appoint an outside special counsel to lead the criminal investigation because they believe some leaks may have come from inside the White House. Tom Gjelten of NPR will have the latest on the string of national security leaks and calls by some lawmakers for Holder to step down. duration 26:46 STEREO TVRE -

I should say my youngest kid turned five but I don't want you to think that I'm suffering from "my baby is growing up way too fast" blues over here.
Not too badly anyway.
I'm not really sure why it's taken me so long to write this but I am still sharing a computer and my husband has been very busy adding free fonts to Dafont lately.
(That was my shameless and totally random linking to Goblin King's current projects plug, hope you don't mind.)
Mostly I'm a horrible blogger.
That being said I'd like to share a little of my littlest's day with you.
I had a table decoration ready and awaiting her.
This is fancy for us, usually we stick with a banner and balloons.
I had actually made this for a birthday party we planned on giving Giz last week but that has been moved to November.
The jack o'latern theme dint seem appropriate for a November party but fine for a day of at home birthday fun.
As Gizmo loves baking I let her help me make her birthday cake and the cupcakes I wanted to take by my parents later. (Which is not a mean thing to do despite what Goblin king thought about it!)
I also let her help me decorate. We faltered between making a cute monster cake,a pumpkin cake even a sugar skull cake like the one we saw here which Gizmo had loved on sight.
In the end we went with Ghosts as our theme.
Ghosts because Gizmo loved the idea of a big mommy ghost and a lot of little baby ghosts following her.
After picking up the Kid from school and going by my parents house(Grandpa and Grandpa Puente) we came home and opened presents with my daughters' other grandparents(Grandma Rose,Grandpa Nigel who live in England) via webcam.
We wrapped the day up by having dinner at Mr Gatti's and then coming back home for cake and a few more presents.
It was a really great day and Gizmo seemed to enjoy it a lot.
You can see a little of my decoration making and our cake making below.

In response to two letters (Predicting Hit to Property Values, Increased Taxes From Mine and How Bad Will Dust Be Near Kamloops? (The Daily News, Aug. 20), clearly, there are concerns on the part of some Kamloops residents about the possible impacts of KGHM International's proposed Ajax copper-gold mine.
KGHM is working to design a mining operation that causes no harm to city residents. "Zero harm" is one of KGHM's core values, observed and followed at our operations around the world.
We recently announced our intention to evaluate and potentially reconfigure the operational arrangement at the proposed mine site in part to address concerns from the community about the proximity to Kamloops neighbourhoods.
A series of environmental, health and social/economic studies are underway as part of the environmental assessment process that will examine the potential effects of mine operations and propose solutions to mitigate or eliminate impacts.
KGHM will host four community information sessions at Thompson Rivers
University's Grand Hall from Sept. 9 to 12.
The moderated "open-mike" forums will give people the chance to learn more about those studies and their scope, from the technical experts who are performing the work. Please call the KGHM office at 250-374-5446 to learn more about the sessions.
We hope all who have concerns will take the opportunity to attend one of the sessions and learn more about the research being done to assess potential impacts.
The results of the studies are not yet available, but we believe information about the comprehensive nature of the research underway will assure residents KGHM takes their concerns seriously.

From the day they took over our website, they have been constantly improving on what we already had in place, by way of updating the text and photos, together with optimising the search criteria, which as we ask all of our new enquiries, "where did they hear of Horsham Laundry", the answer is always "from your website".

Extensive properties
-properties that are proportional to the size of the system
-if a property doubles when the systems are combined, the property is extensive. -the study of energy and its relationship to macroscopic properties in chemical systems. -based on probabilities, and are only valid for systems composed of a large number of molecules. -examples are moles and volume. |
Intensive properties
-properties that are independent of the size of the system.
-if you combine 2 identical systems and a property is the same for both the single system and the combined system, the property is intensive. |
State Functions
-Properties that describe the state of a system, but not necessarily how the state was formed or what reaction pathway brought a state into being.
The two ways to transfer energy between systems
1. Heat
2. Work |
Heat (q)
The natural transfer of energy from a warmer body to a cooler body.
-Any energy transfer that is not heat.
3 heat forms
1. Conduction
2. Convection 3. Radiation |
-the thermal energy transfer via molecular collisions.
-requires direct physical contact -higher energy molecules from one system transfer some of their energy to the lower energy molecules of the other system via molecular collisions. -temperature difference in thermal conductivity is like pressure difference in fluids or potential difference in electricity. |
Thermal conductivity
-the ability of an object to conduct heat
-depends upon the objects composition and its temperature. -the rate of heat flow is constant across any number of slabs between two reservoirs. -conservation of E!! |
-thermal energy transfer via fluid movements.
-differences in pressure or density drive warm fluid air in the direction of cooler fluid. |
-thermal energy transfer via electromagnetic waves.
-all objects above 0K radiate heat -objects that radiate heat faster also absorb heat faster, which means that it come to equllibrium with its environment more quickly. |
PV work
w = PdeltaV(constant pressure)
-work as it applies to a chemical system at rest. -at constant pressure, work is equal to the product of the pressure and the change in volume. -A system at rest with no gravitational potential energy and no kinetic energy may still be able to do PV work. -PV work takes place when a gas expands against a force regardless of whether or not the pressure is constant. -there must be a change in volume! |
Internal energy
-the collective energy of molecules measured on a microscopic scale.
-all the possible forms of energy imaginable on a molecular scale. -may also be referred to as 'thermal energy' or 'heat energy'. -if we have a closed system with no electric or magnetic fields, the only energy change will be in internal energy. -for a reaction within a system involving no change in volume, there is NO work done and the change in internal energy is equal to the heat. |
-A state function that describes changes in thermal energy.
-An increase in thermal energy is due to increases in internal energy. -An increase in thermal energy increases temperature. -In a fluid, temperature is directly proportional to the translational kinetic energy of its molecules. -ideally, can be thought of as the thermal energy per molecule or mole of molecules. |
Average kinetic energy in a fluid
-given by the equation KEavg = (3/2)kT
Pressure of an ideal gas
-the random translational kinetic energy per volume. An intensive function.
-the greater the random translational kinetic energy of gas molecules per volume, the greater the pressure. |
Equation (under constant pressure conditions):
deltaH = deltaU + PdeltaV H = entropy U = internal energy P=pressure V=volume -a man-made property that accounts for the extra capacity to do PV work. -a state function -measured in units of energy (joules) but not conserved like energy. - we are interested mainly with CHANGE in enthalpy. |
Standard state
-an element in its standard state at 25C is arbitrarily assigned an enthalpy value of 0J/mol.
-from this, enthalpy values are assigned to compounds based upon the change in enthalpy when the are formed from raw elements in their standard states at 25C. |
Standard enthalpy of formation
-the change in enthalpy for a reaction that creates one mole of that compound from its raw elements in their standard state.
-for reactions involving no change in pressure, the change in enthalpy is equal to the heat. |
Heat of reaction
delta(enthalpy of reaction) = delta(standard enthalpy of formation of products) - delta(standard enthalpy of formation of reactants).
-Since in many reactions in the lab, enthalpy approximates heat, the change in enthalpy from reactants to products is often referred to as the heat of reaction. |
Hess's law
The sum of the enthalpy changes for each step is equal to the total enthalpy change regardless of the path chose.
-a reaction is endothermic if it has a positive enthalpy change.
-a reaction is exothermic if it has a negative enthalpy change.
Transition state
-the point in a reaction in which old bonds are breaking and new bonds are forming.
-represented in the 'peak' of the energy hill. -occurs during the reaction collision. |
Reaction intermediates
-products of the first step in a two step reaction.
-the study of energy and its relationship to macroscopic properties in chemical systems.
-based on probabilities, and are only valid for systems composed of a large number of molecules. -CANNOT be applied to microscopic phenomena (for the most part). |
Entropy (S)
-nature's tendency to create the most probable situation that can occur within a system.
-nature likes to lower energy of a system when it is high relative to the energy of the surroundings, but that means that nature likes to raise energy of a system when it is low relative to the energy of the surroundings. -Entropy, not energy, dictates the direction of a reaction. -equilibrium is the point in a reaction where the universe has achieved maximum entropy. -entropy increases with number, volume, and temperature. -an extensive property. -Units: J/K |
Second law of thermodynamics
-states that the entropy of an isolated system will never decrease because the odds of a decrease in entropy are so low.
-if we consider the universe as a system: -the sum of entropy changes of any system and its surroundings equals the entropy change of the universe, which must be equal to or greater than zero. delta(S)system +delta(S)surroundings = delta(S)universe, which is greater than or equal to zero. -this indicates that entropy can decrease only if at the same time, entropy of the surroundings increases by a greater or equal magnitude. |
Irreversible reaction.
-If the activation energy of a chemical reaction is sufficiently high for the reverse direction, the probability that it will occur may be sufficiently high for the reverse direction, the probability that it will occur may be sufficiently low that chemists call the reaction irreversible.
-a thermodynamically reversible reaction is one that stays infinitely close to a state of equilibrium at all times. |
Third law of thermodynamics
-assigns by convention zero entropy value to any pure substance (either an element or a compound) at absolute zero and in internal equilibrium.
-the study of energy and its relationship to macroscopic properties in chemical systems.
-based on probabilities, and are only valid for systems composed of a large number of molecules. -CANNOT be applied to microscopic phenomena (for the most part). |
First law of thermodynamics
-energy of the system and surroundings is always conserved.

During three years of severe training under the great master Gizan, Koshu was unable to gain satori.
At the beginning of a special seven-day session of discipline,he thought his chance had finally come.He climbed the tower of the temple gate,and going up to the arhat images he made this vow: Either I realize my dreams up here, or they'll find my dead body at the foot of this tower.
He went without food or sleep, giving himself up to constant zazen, often crying out things like: What was my karma that in spite of all these efforts I can't grasp the way?
At last he admitted failure, and, determined to end it all, he went to the railing and slowly lifted his leg over it. At that very instant he had an awakening
Overjoyed, he rushed down the stairs and through the rain to Gizan's room.
Before he had a chance to speak, the master cried: Bravo! – you've finally had your day.
Man is the only animal who can think of, try to, or actually commit suicide. Suicide is very special. It is human.
Animals live, they die, but they cannot commit suicide. They live, but there are not any problems, life doesn't create any angst, anguish. Life is not an anxiety for them – they simply live it; and then, as simply as they live, they simply die. Animals don't have any death consciousness. In fact, they are neither aware of life, nor of death, so the question of suicide doesn't arise. They are not conscious at all; they live in the deepest sleep of the unconscious.
Only man can commit suicide. That means that only man can do something about life or death; it means that only man can stand against life. This possibility is there because man is conscious. But remember, the problems of life, the anxiety, the tension, the anguish, or the final decision to commit suicide, do not come out of consciousness – they come out of a fragmentary consciousness.
This has to be understood deeply. A Buddha is also conscious, but he cannot commit suicide, cannot even think about it. Suicide doesn't exist for a Buddha, but he is also conscious. Why? Animals are unconscious totally; Buddha is conscious totally. With total consciousness there is no problem, or, with total unconsciousness there is no problem. In fact, to be total in any way is to be beyond problems.

Schnarzan (Jimmy Durante) is the king of the jungle - but only in the movies, in real life he's a filmstar in decline because the lions in his jungle flicks just don't look real enough. Fortunately though, lionhunter baron Münchhausen presently pays Hollywood a visit, and he's got plenty of lions with him, so Schnarzan throws him a big party which is attended by all of Hollywood, even Mickey Mouse (who introduces a Technicolor sequence in this otherwise black and white flick) - and also by Schnarzan's fiercest rival on the jungle flick market, Liondora (George Givot).
Both Schnarzan and Liondora try to catch the attention of oilking Clemp (Charles Butterworth), the only one in Hollywood rich enough to buy the lions, and his wife (Polly Moran) - but then out of the blue Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy show up and turn out to be the actual owners of the lions, and eventually, the two of them release the animals on the party guests, and even Schnarzan has to wrestle a lion for real, when ...
Jimmy Durante wakes up, and it was all just a dream.
Lupe Velez plays a partycrasher, who eventually gets into a hilariously slowed-down food fight with Laurel and Hardy, and the Three Stooges play autograph hunters, but don't get all that much to do. Eddie Quillan and June Clyde play the obligatory romantic couple, but their story leads nowhere.
Part comedy, part revue movie, this film is mostly a mess: Despite some imaginative song-and-dance numbers (including one featuring scantily clad female telephone operators) and a (actually rather brutal) Disney-cartoon, this is without real highlights on the revue side, while on the comedy side, this has little to offer besides above-mentioned intentionally weirdly paced food fight between Lupe Velez and Laurel and Hardy. And the film's lead Jimmy Durante seems to have been caught on one of his worse days. As for a script, there is a story involved, but it leads nowhere.
Allegedly, this was intended to become something much bigger, but a constant change of directors and other studio problems seriously sabotaged the project almost from square one.
All that said, if you're into major studio pictures from the 1930's, you will doubtlessly want to see this regardless from what I may say, and since this film does have at least a few highlights, you will not be totally disappointed.

by lames Allen THE Catholic Church in Britain reflects much of the racism that pervades society, and black people are growing away from it as a result. That was the main conclusion of the report published yesterday by the all-black panel created to advise Cardinal Basil Hume on the Church's ministry to the black community.
The report, With You in Spirit?' also found that the virtual non-existence of priestly vocations among blacks was due to the inability of the young to identify with a white-run church; many priests were reluctant to accommodate black forms of worship in the liturgy; Catholic schools discriminated against black children both in their admissions policy and in the educational stimulus they offered.
including five non-Catholics, spent almost two years canvassing the views of clergy and black lay-people in Westminster Diocese.
There is not a single Britishborn black priest in the country despite a black Catholic population estimated at 50,000.
The panel heard complaints that white priests in black areas were often paternalistic and assimilationist, believing that the style of worship should reflect the tastes of the white majority. An example was the rejection of a request to include some Caribbean hymns in the Mass, on the grounds that their rhythms would be too hard for many to follow.
Such failure to acknowledge the uniqueness of black culture was particularly upsetting to the young. The report said many were either giving up religion or joining small, black-led Protestant churches that offered a greater sense of acceptance and identity.
Young blacks were increasingly aware of their own history and tended to identify today's priests with the colonialist missionaries of an earlier era.
The panel said young blacks were also being put off the Church by their experience of Catholic education. Catholic schools, they argued, were not immune from the criticism, voiced of British schools in general, that teachers underestimate the ability of black students and fail therefore to encourage them. Many students, for example, were being told to settle for CSEs instead of GCEs.
When the same students rebelled against the oppressive system, they were labelled disruptive, punished, and even expelled. Among complaints about admissions policy, the panel heard that blacks took second place to non-Catholic whites in competing for places. It was alleged that one London school even had a quota of four blacks in each year.
The panel said it had been unable to verify the allegation but recommended that ethnic admissions be monitored throughout the system to ensure that racist criteria were not being applied.
The report recommended setting up "shared faith" or "multi faith" schools where students would be taught to respect and value their different ethnic and racial backgrounds.
The Church was criticised for failure to enlist clearly in the fight against racism. Seminary training — given by blacks in how to combat racism was essential not only for priests who would be called to work in black areas. Priests in all-white churches could help by sensitising their parishioners to the problem.
Cardinal Hume, who attended the press conference held to launch the report, said he welcomed the panel's work, but with one reservation — that some excellent work on behalf of blacks in the past by priests and teachers had nbt been recognised.
He said it was urgent to encourage black vocations to the priesthood and he had instructed the diocesan committees dealing with education, youth work and training of priests to study the report carefully.
The cardinal also announced that in keeping with the panel's recommendations he was creating an all-black diocesan steering committee "not only to advise me on (the black community's) pastoral needs, but to act where appropriate with my authority."
The committee's first priority when it assembles in September will be the revamping of the diocese's Caribbean Pastoral Service, a body created in 1975 but today virtually inactive through a combination of internal dissensions and lack of clear guidelines.
According to the panel the service should be managed by a black layperson, instead of as now by a white priest, and should see to the regular celebration of Caribbean Masses and the setting up in parishes of black study and prayer groups.

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo Says Gun "Confiscation Could be an Option"
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo recently told Albany radio station WGDJ-AM that he plans to propose gun control legislation during his State of the State address on Jan. 9, reports the New York Times.
Gov. Cuomo said: "I don't think legitimate sportsmen are going to say, 'I need an assault weapon to go hunting.' There is a balance here, I understand the rights of gun owners."
"Confiscation could be an option. Mandatory sale to the state could be an option. Permitting could be an option — keep your gun, but permit it."
Cuomo suggested that the state will institute a permit process for owners of semi-automatic "assault weapons."
The Democrat-controlled New York Assembly has voted for a number of proposed gun control laws that have failed in the State Senate, which has been controlled by Republicans.

Sure, it's an "option".
So too is it an "option" for someone sworn to the defense of the Constitution to do his or her duty against one of its enemies domestic. Mr. Cuomo would do well to remember this.

Olderman - Dec 23 2012 - 7:52am
"...I understand the rights of gun owners..."
No, you don't. Apparently all that you understand is the power - NOT right - of government to initiate force. Government, ALL government derives it's powers from the electorate which includes gun owners.
You, governor, were elected to discharge the philosophical will of the people: not an individual emotional disposition.

argon - Dec 22 2012 - 8:07pm
He is proving that the NRA has been telling the truth all these years: that registration leads to confiscation. Since confiscation has historically led to genocide and other evils of despotic government, can anyone really blame the NRA for it's stand? A big lie is "it can't happen here". That's what they said when this has happened other places.
Talking heads who know
the car man msncom - Dec 22 2012 - 8:02pm
Talking heads who know nothing about what they espouse, pandering to sheeple who like to hear how the Goverment will protect them if only they where allowed to suspend these rights which mean nothing to the sheeple. But as for those of us who believe in self reliance and self preservation and believe that others have those same inailenable God given rights, although this number keeps dwindling,we Do not wish to be disarmed. I agree about the issue of talking past each other, but as long as you leave law abiding citizens no option to exercise their rights and continue to Force us to not be able to protect ourselfs and our loved ones in public spaces, no options is tyranny in our eyes.Their fear of firearms should not rule our lives. We are Adults who can make our own decisions unless we act in away which threatens public safety allow us to make our own decisions;)
If the NRA continues to take
kerryberger - Dec 21 2012 - 12:25pm
If the NRA continues to take the irresponsible stand they are now promoting, I do believe gun confiscation is going to be a necessity, along with a temporary suspension of the 2nd Amendment to wipe the slate clean. Today, the current 2nd Amendment is only suitable for a nation that is expanding Westward. That was fine two centuries ago, but not today. We need a solution that is relevant to the 21st Century.

Olderman - Dec 23 2012 - 8:00am
"... We need a solution that is relevant to the 21st Century..."
The NRA proposed that the police initiate procedures to minimize the possibility of mayhem in schools. How is this irresponsible?
OH.....I See.... It dawned on you just how many police will have to hired to protect the schools. You might even be one of them.

Thomas Jefferson - Dec 22 2012 - 10:25am
Ex post facto law! You see if he does this, then I get elected as Governor and pass an anti abortion law that deems it murder to do. And that it should be punished by death. Then I can then find all records of abortion and put all the women in the chair!
People don't listen to people like this (as I should have not) who have never read the Constitution but would rather tell that their opinion is the way and only way we should live.
Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death! My Good friend and gentleman Patrick Henry

If turkey is the star of Thanksgiving dinner, then pie is most certainly the encore.
America's love affair with this golden-crusted treat has been well-documented in pop culture; in fact, a 2012 survey by NPR examined pie preferences and determined that, indeed, there is nothing more American than apple pie.
Check out Coupon Cabin's infographic which breaks down America's love of pie.

I worked with Liangjie on the "Romantic Lighting Sensor" Lab for Sociable Objects Workshop. The basic challenge was to learn how to use XBee without Arduino as a remote sensing module.
We used paired Xbee Radios: A local Radio in API mode and a Remote Sensor Radio with a photo resistor (light sensor).
At first, we had some problem at the receiver side. It was pretty clear that the transmitter is working fine since while we were using just the xbee explorer board as receiver we could directly see the data coming from the serial channel. However we couldn't get the code to work.
We ended up using a processing sketch to print out serial data from arduino.
Also, we learned that the resistor used to augment sensor output value to fit xbee's 3.3v requirement has to be carefully handled, otherwise you do not use the full range of the sensor output.
Here are the documentation videos:

Parental Leave
In a patently cynical attempt to relive its past glory, the Gillard government this weekend used Fathers' Day to announce that it will extend parental leave to dads.
Back on Mothers' Day in 2009, the Rudd government won almost universal plaudits by announcing an 18 week paid parental leave scheme. In the lead up to the 2010 election the policy was still seen as such a vote winner that Tony Abbott flagged his own extravagant six month scheme, reversing his previous conviction that parental leave would be introduced 'over his dead body'.
More than a year later, this latest addition of paternity leave - essentially feel-good middle class welfare in search of an evidence base - shows just how anxious to revive its flagging popularity the government has become.

When a friend told me I was mentioned in The Punch, I looked forward to reading the article because I associated The Punch with Punch, the British weekly magazine of humour. Instead of wit, I found the article by Tanja Kovac in The Punch yet another inaccurate diatribe against pro-lifers.
Tanja asks where are Archbishop Hart, Margaret Tighe and Babette Francis? Archbishop Hart is very possibly on his knees praying for you and for the many social welfare agencies of his Archdiocese.
Tanja, just look up the phone book under "Catholic" and you will see the long list of activities undertaken by the Catholic Church to help those in need. Ever heard of "The Vinnies" (the St. Vincent de Paul Society)? Or Mother Teresa's "Missionaries of Charity"? As for Margaret Tighe, like me she is probably working at a computer replying to tiresome articles from those who don't bother to get their facts straight.

It just doesn't sound right – a church that wants to stop incentives to breed.
But that's exactly what's happening with the Anglicans. They want to get rid of "any policy that provides an incentive specifically and primarily to increase Australia's population, notably the baby bonus".
Even stranger, despite an inbuilt desire to disagree with any religious views on reproduction, I reckon they're right.

I find it amazing that policymakers have oversimplified the paid parental leave debate, saying it will increase the workforce participation rate.
When Westpac and St George introduced paid parental leave, it wasn't necessarily to get women back from maternity leave, but to get women into those companies over other companies. They knew that if they had something that NAB or CBA didn't have, St George and Westpac become 'employers of choice'.

It's not.

From the moment the clock strikes midnight on New Year's Eve, Australia will begin summoning in a new generation – let's call them Generation Fair – the first group of young Australians born under a universal scheme to support their parents through their first few months.
If you believe some, there will be an influx in the early hours of mothers desperate to hold back their child to join this select group.
Having gone through the rigours of childbirth myself, I doubt that – but I do accept these kids will be fortunate to be members of this new club.

On 1 January 2011 Australia will get its first ever national government-funded Paid Parental Leave scheme. This is a historic reform which will benefit not just mums, dads and babies, but also businesses.
In designing our Paid Parental Leave scheme, the Australian Government engaged business as part of the process. We wanted to ensure the scheme is not only fair to business, but helps employers retain valuable and skilled staff.
Having a baby is for many people part of balancing everyday work and family life. That's why the Government had designed our Paid Parental Leave scheme to be delivered as a workplace entitlement, just like annual leave or sick leave.

The Rudd Government's paid parental leave scheme appallingly places prisoners on a higher pedestal than stay at home mums - mums who slog their guts out all day trying to look after their kids who need 24-7 attention.
While paid parental leave is a good thing the Government's scheme has more holes in it than Swiss cheese.
On page 20 of the explanatory memorandum of the Paid Parental Leave Bill 2010, it says that prisoners who perform work in prison would be eligible for the Government's paid parental leave scheme.

The Government needs to come clean on what its Paid Parental Leave Scheme really means for working families, starting with its name.
It's a great irony that an initiative called Paid Parental Leave does not actually give anyone an actual right to time off work after birth.
In fact, if an employee has been working for less than 12 months, they have no guarantee they can return to their job if they take leave.

It's little wonder the Australian people, not to mention his own Coalition colleagues, are utterly confused about Opposition Leader Tony Abbott's sham paid parental leave scheme funded by his great big new tax on business.
As soon as his International Women's Day thought bubble hit the airwaves, there was instant disbelief.
After all, this was the man who, as Workplace Relations Minister, declared that a paid parental leave scheme would only happen over his government's "dead body." And who then proceeded to kill off the paid maternity leave proposal put forward by the then Sex Discrimination Commissioner.

Tony Abbott's foray into progressive social policy has backfired, with his conservative base rejecting has plan to tax big business to pay for improved parental leave.
In the first serious signs that the Mad Monk's honeymoon as leader is over, this week's Essential Report finds the Liberal leader has cashed in his credentials as an economic conservative for no real gain, with little support for this family plan.
After watching the polls narrow to within striking distance over the summer, the Coalition heartland must now be wondering whether Mark Latham has returned to politics in a different set of Speedos.

Kyle won the challenge which was a mock interview as a spokesperdon for a product and picked Nicole to countdown the 5 greatest supermodels of all times with her. The next episode's challenge was to complete a commercial shoot, photo shoot, and press interview, all advertising Secret deodorant, in the space of thirty minutes. Behind the scenes, there was a lot of drama, because Jayla stole Nik's secret, on camera, making Nik and other girls upset. Originally Nik was going to say she was afraid of the dark and slept with a night light and Jayla was going to say she was afraid of the dark. However once on camera Jayla said she was afraid of the dark and they stopped her commercial. When they did take two she said she slept with a night light. This caused Nik to lose sight of her objective and ultimately deliver a bad interview.
The undeclared prize was that the girl with the strongest photograph would have her picture run as an actual advertisement for the product in print media. The judges agreed that Lisa had the strongest performance this week, but they chose Nicole's photo as the best one, and selected it. Meanwhile Kim and Jayla also did well on both. Bre had a great commercial and interview but her photo was criticized. Nik's lack of focus and poor performance during her commercial landed her in the bottom two with Coryn who was eliminated because she could not overcome her melancholy demeanor.

New closed cell composite metal foams are processed using casting and powder metallurgy (PM) techniques. The foam is comprised of steel hollow spheres packed into a random loose arrangement, with the interstitial spaces between spheres occupied with a solid metallic matrix. The characterization of composite metal foams was carried out using monotonic compression, compression–compression fatigue, loading–unloading compression, micro-hardness and nano-hardness testing. The microstructure of the composite metal foams was studied using optical, scanning electron microscopy imaging and electron dispersive spectroscopy. The composite metal foams displayed superior (5–20 times higher) compressive strengths, reported as 105 MPa for cast foams and 127 MPa for PM foams, and much higher energy absorbing capability as compared to other metal foams being produced with similar materials through other technologies.

How Does It Work?
- How many times will I need to receive prayer?
Generally I find that the first time or two people are a bit cautious, anxious or maybe even a little skeptical . This can hinder and slow the healing process. However, each time I pray for you, healing will occur.
I view healing as more of a process and once you have received prayer it will be easier for you to determine how much you would like.
- How come different things keep coming up when your being delivered?
- How do you keep your deliverance?
- How do you know if you need deliverance?
- Do you know what you are praying for while you are praying in tongues and can you tell what has been removed?
As ministry has developed I have a greater confidence in the ministry of Holy Spirit and enjoy the fact that I'm not required to know all of the details of the ministry.
Doing this ministry as long as I have has certainly allowed me to know what is important to Holy Spirit and it is easy to know in part what He is working on in your life.
At times certain strongholds are difficult to remove or have a legal claim to remain in your life and at those times more knowledge is required.
Some times forgiveness is required and at other times Holy Spirit tells me things through words of knowledge, and sometimes your input is required.
Ministry happens much quicker without having to talk about or discuss each issue and people have felt much better about ministry knowing that I don't know every intricate detail of their lives.
- How do you know what spirit you are dealing with?
- In a group setting can others receive healing also or just the person you are praying with?
- Why do some people feel sick to their stomachs the next day?
- How should I feel after receiving ministry and into the next day?
However I realize that at times ministry may not be as successful as I'd hoped. Sometimes additional ministry is needed to deal with the layers that still exist.
If struggles arise I encourage people to avail themselves to additional ministry either in person or via phone.

HAMAS expressed shock at Russian Jew Putin's statements during his visit to the Buraq Wall in Jerusalem, a yarmulke on his head, commenting on the deep Jewish connection to the holy site:
"You can see how the Jewish past is engraved in the stones of Jerusalem," he said in total violation to all historical facts and international resolutions topped by the Shaw Commission in 1930 which concluded that the Muslims had absolute ownership of the Wall and adjacent property.
HAMAS in the name of its Gaza foreign ministry sent a protest letter to criminal Russia's Jewish foreign minister, Lavrov, the secretary general of the Arab league, Dr. Nabil el-Arabi, and Dr. Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu secretary general of the organization of the Islamic cooperation.
The ministry confirmed that the "wailing wall of the Jews" is "an Islamic sacred place," stressing that wall and adjacent property are Islamic Waqf and Jews have no right over it.
The HAMAS ministry asked the criminal Russian Jew Lavrov to clarify its position on the city of Jerusalem and the Islamic holy sites, as Jewish Russia appears to be endorsing the "Israeli" falsification of facts and persecution against Palestinians in the occupied city of Jerusalem such as the ethnic cleansing and house demolition policies as well as the digging of tunnels under the Aqsa Mosque, which aims to demolish the mosque and to establish the claimed temple.
The ministry also called on the organization of Islamic cooperation and the Arab eague to press Jewish Russia to clarify its position on the Islamic holy places.
