National education association The Education Group reports; over 60% of primary school students have extracurricular lessons in subjects such as English language, Mathematics, literature and more. Cramming has become increasingly popular for kids of a young age.
Annually, Chinese parents spend 120,000RMB (US$17,400) on extra lessons, but some spend as much as 300,000RMB (US$43,500). Gu Mingyuan, head of the Chinese Society of Education reported to Jiemian.com; "Tutoring classes have risen [in popularity] against conventional schooling… Parents are feeling very helpless"
The peak of academic pressure in China rises during the last year of high school when preparation time for University entrance exams takes place, but an annual report by the China Education 30 forum showed that external tutoring is more and more popular amongst young children.
Parents are deeply invested in making sure their children are not only catching up, but excelling. The statistics are even higher in major cities like Beijing and Shanghai, where over 70% of primary school students have external lessons. By the sixth grade, over 40% of student have tutoring in multiple subjects.
Expert at the Shanghai Academy of Educational Sciences Tan Xiaoyu told Jiemian; "External tutoring agencies often use high-intensity teaching and early educational models to improve students' test-taking skills." According to a survey by the China Youth and Children Research Centre, school children spend 50 minutes on weekdays and 2 hours over the weekends on average in extracurricular tutoring.
The after school teaching industry in China is one of the fastest growing in the world, one of China's biggest industries, and it's expected to double in size to 1 billion RMB by 2021. The Chinese government predict that by 2020 at least 191 million students will be in extracurricular lessons, due to increased urbanisation and competition for spots in top universities.
Middle school entrance exams have been abolished, but it's increasing competition in further education that are urging parents to spend any disposable income on their children's education, leading to a heavy workload for young children.
The Chinese Government have tried to decrease workload and pressure for young students but to no avail. "Reducing schoolwork in the classroom has pushed educational responsibility onto parents instead" Tan claims.
Almost half the parents surveys said that what's needed to reduce pressure for schoolchildren is not reducing the school workload, but rather a complete overhaul of the entrance exam system in schools and universities. Some suggestions included changing assessment methods to promote more all-round academic development.

Skip to comments.Operation Urgent Fury(Grenada)
Posted on 10/25/2019 12:38:43 PM PDT by US Navy Vet
36 Years ago TODAY!
"We have two companies of Marines running rampant all over the northern half of this island, and three Army regiments pinned down in the southwestern corner doing nothing. What the hell is going on"?
Gen. John W. Vessey Jr., USA, Chairman of the the Joint Chiefs of Staff
during the assault on Grenada, 1983
I was in college. In an elevator. With a bunch of liberals listening incredulously to reports on a transistor radio.
If I recall correctly there were a few things which went wrong. We had enough force and bravery to overcome them.
There were LOTS of things the went VERY Wrong with this Operation. Chief among others were and COMPLETE Lack of Common Communications between the 2 Ground Elements(Army and Marines). Both services Comm Equipment could not even talk to each other. There were Chain of Command Issues as well. This Operation and other led to the Jointness Concept put forth by Goldwater/Nichols Defense Re-Org Act of 1986.
I was an 11th grader at Catholic School in Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico -- and, of course, many vessels used for the invasion came out of Roosevelt Roads in Ceiba, P.R. My Dad was a LTCDR in the USCG Reserve in Old San Juan, so he was on duty for a whole week on base upon initial talk about President Reagain (May he Rest in Peace) ordering the invasion.
We'll never forget Dame Eugenia Charles, Prime Minister of Dominica, who first advised the US about certain activities in Grenada from the Cubans and the Soviets. She was the Maggie Thatcher of the Caribbean.
I enjoy watching Heartbreak Ridge, with Clint Eastwood, about the invasion. It was filmed in Vieques, Puerto Rico.
And finally, we pray for those who did not make it. May they all Rest In Peace.
Reagain = Reagan
Thank you for your service.
I have a nephew — army — who was there.
I remember they were building a 10,000 foot runway which is nearly 2 miles long.
Obviously not needed by Granada. Made for Soviet Bombers.
My ex was there (Marine).
::And finally, we pray for those who did not make it. May they all Rest In Peace.::
Awesome. Thanks for your service and why we didnt just occupy and turn it into our territory is beyond me s/
One Navy officer who came onshore couldn't communicate with his ship so he used his calling card to call the Pentagon from a payphone(remember them?)and had them radio the information. Next there were the TOURIST MAPS to find their way around. Last don't forget the film of the 'rescued' medical student kissing the ground. All this happened 5 days AFTER the marines were bombed in Beruit.
Beiruit. One of the wounded soldiers died on his flight to hospital at Ramstein AB in Germany. He could have been taken to one in Israel where we give billions in military aid. Standard barricades to block the path of a suicide bomber were not used. Advice was not wanted. Even using vehicles so that a winding path to the hotel/barracks would slow down a vehicle packed with explosives were not used. All the marines were cooped up in one spot. Go figure.
Thanks for the info. There are lots that went on that the public have no idea really happened..
Wasn't there a Spec Op FUBAR in this operation where some operators drowned from being overloaded with gear?
Something like that?
I was there too. Flying 32 K feet above in a recce. 19.5 hour mission. Latrine only lasted 16 LOL.
That's interesting... remember the congressman who was coordinating his votes with the Cubans during the Grenada/Russian runway business?
His name was Ron Dellums...
Now, fast forward to the Magnitsky Act that was passed in response to the Russians' invasion of the Crimea...
Who did the Russians hire to lobby against the Magnitsky Act?
Ron Dellums. Dellums was working with Veselnitskaya, the Russian lawyer who set up the Trump Tower meeting as part of Russiagate after miraculously being allowed into the country.

Secret Senate Ethics Process Goes Public in Packwood Case
WASHINGTON (AP) _ Turning the closed-door investigation of Sen. Bob Packwood into an inflamed public debate, Ethics Committee members are using the Senate floor to battle over whether to hold public hearings in the case.
Partisan arguments on the hearings issue keep moving to the Senate floor, breaking the committee tradition of fighting out its differences in private.
The panel of three Republicans and three Democrats is normally so secretive that meetings are not announced in advance.
The latest, but certainly not the last, public word came Wednesday from committee Vice Chairman Richard Bryan, of Nevada, who _ like many Democrats _ favors hearings in the 2 1/2-year-old case of sexual and official misconduct.
He accused the Republican chairman of the Ethics Committee of stalling on the hearings issue, saying: ``There is simply no reason for the committee to delay further.″
Chairman Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., an opponent of hearings like many Republicans, is expected to respond with his own floor speech soon. But McConnell already weighed in with a speech to the Senate last week.
Then, he threatened public hearings on the conduct of Democrats if a California senator forced a Senate vote to require public testimony on Packwood, R-Ore.
The first lawmaker to force the issue before the Senate was Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., who said that if the Ethics Committee failed to vote for Packwood hearings, she would introduce legislation to require them.
Wednesday, Boxer said she would not back down. ``My position remains the same. If the Ethics Committee fails to vote for public hearings or meet, I will go forward with my resolution for public hearings,″ she said in a written statement.
The Senate panel last met July 12. McConnell has refused to call another session, saying he was imposing a ``cooling-off″ period that would last at least until Boxer backed down.
``I know of no reason the Ethics Committee has not met, nor any reason why the committee has not voted on holding public hearings,″ said Bryan in his speech.
He also wrote McConnell that it was ``urgently important for the credibility of the committee and the Senate″ that a meeting be held on the hearings issue Thursday or Friday.
The Ethics Committee has found ``substantial credible evidence″ that Packwood made unwanted sexual advances to 17 women in 18 instances from 1969 to 1990, altered his personal diaries when he learned the committee might subpoena them for the investigation and tried to solicit a job for his wife from lobbyists and businessmen with legislative interests while the couple was obtaining a divorce. Any increase in Mrs. Packwood's income could have lowered the senator's alimony payments.
Republicans have said they might amend any legislation by Boxer to also include hearings on Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass. and Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle, D-S.D.
The references were to the 1969 drowning of a woman in a car driven by Kennedy and allegations that Daschle tried to eliminate a government charter inspection program at the request of a friend's air charter company. The Kennedy incident happened the same year as the first sexual misconduct allegation against Packwood.

Hello all! Last week's game was a first person brawler that had great ideas, but they're all pretty much kicked out immediately.
Today brings us to a game based on a somewhat crummy movie. Despite licensed games generally being crap, this is one of the few to not only be good, but it actually surpasses the material it's based on. Then again, maybe that's a low bar to hop.
X-Men Origins: Wolverine is the clunky title to the Official Game of the Movie that was...X-Men Origins: Wolverine. It was developed by Raven Software, who made some pretty cool stuff, and they've been featured here before with another Marvel title. Here, you play as, of course, Wolverine, following the events of the movie. To be fair, you also play a bunch of stuff that happened before the movie. There's a surprising amount of story here, and some of it is inspired by the comics; none of it's really great, but it's servicable; it gets you going, which is the most important thing here. (Note that it follows the movie later on, so you have to fight *ahem* "Deadpool" at the end)
Wolverine plays more or less like God of War or Devil May Cry or whatever. You press buttons and Wolverine slashes with his claws, and you mix up light and heavy attacks to perform combos. Sometimes you grab enemies, you fight bosses, and engage in the odd QTE. Nothing the game does from a functional standpoint is all that unique or innovative...
...but it's the whole aesthetic that sells it. Wolverine is notably rated M, and it uses this to it's full, bloody advantage. Wolverine's/Logan's/Ol' Scratchy's claws slice and dismember your enemies in this game. It's the first time in gaming you get to use Wolverine's claws to do some serious damage. It's all incredibly brutal and satisfying, if you're in the mood and can stomach it. The game does a great job of making you feel like Wolverine—you're fast and powerful, and nearly unstoppable.
You've also got a fantastic portrayal of Wolverine's healing factor, something that past games struggle with. Getting shot up damages you and lowers a health meter, while taking too much damage at once lowers a secondary meter taking the form of Wolverine's heart. Think Halo 1's shield/health system and you've got an idea of how XMO:W works. What's even cooler is, damage appears on Wolverine and heals up, just like in the movies. It's very cool.
I was all set to tell you all about how Wolverine shows us that a licensed game can do right by the characters, story, etc. It's true that Wolverine surpasses the movie it's based on, but that isn't that hard, really (to clarify: I don't think X-Men Origins: Wolverine is the worst thing in the world, but it's certainly not great, and it's the weakest X-Men film by far—and yes, I've seen The Last Stand).
But licensed games are tricky. When your game is called Spider-Man 2 or Batman Begins or what have you, certain people expect to play through the movie they saw and enjoyed. That's business, after all; it's a crappy part of the business, but that's just the way things are. Or were; licensed games don't seem to happen much these days, except in the mobile market. Wolverine is a riot of a game, but that's mostly because Raven seems to have largely ignored the film and did what they wanted to do with a Wolverine video game. You have to follow the film plot here, but it's barely there, intercut with scenes in jungles where you fight creatures. You might recognize this as the opposite of the Wolverine movie.
The end result, really, is a fun game that's hampered by being attached to something not a lot of people liked. That's too bad; the game does right by Wolverine, and as far as I'm concerned, it's the best Wolverine game by a wide margin. Although, I thought X2: Wolverine's Revenge for PS2 wasn't that bad. But if you skipped Origins: Wolverine because you hated the movie, give it a go. Never before have gamers felt like Wolverine, and based on the current state of X-Men games, they probably never will again.
Oh, and again, basically every other Wolverine game is beyond awful, so take what you can get.

Framework contract with the Defence
Bergen Group Services AS has been awarded a one-year extension of a framework contract relating to ship maintenance and repair of some of the Norwegian Armed Forces` vessel categories.
The extension is valid until 1 August 2018.
The value of the one-year extension of this framework agreement will depend on the amount of work that the Defence will call upon from external resources to be carried out under this agreement. This framework contract has since August 2014 generated a number of smaller jobs, in addition to two major assignments with inspection and survey project (5-year classing) on two minesweepers with a total order value of NOK 25-30 million and a total project period of 8 months.
"Bergen Group Services is pleased that the Defence has chosen to exercise the option to extend this framework agreement until 1 August 2018. The lack of an extension on the frigate-contract as from 1 July this year does not change the fact that we still consider the Norwegian Armed Forces to be a preferred and important customer in the coming years. We maintain our ambition to uphold the company's well established expertise and capacity related to carry out complex maritime projects and service operations" says CEO Frode Johansson in Bergen Group Services.
Bergen Group Services is a wholly owned subsidiary of Bergen Group Bergen Group ASA. The company has its main focus on the market segments Maritime Service, Defence and Energy & Industry.

Lumbrokinase is an enzyme derived from earthworms Lumbricus rubellus. Research has shown that lumbrokinase may support healthy coagulation of blood within normal levels and enhance fibrinolytic activity, i.e. similar to nattokinase.
Lumbrokinase (LK) consists of a group of proteolytic enzymes including plasminogen activator and plasmin extracted from a specific species of earthworm. The plasminogen activator (e-PA) in LK is similar to tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) from other sources, which makes it possible to show the thrombolytic activity only in the presence of fibrin. Therefore, LK has the advantage of not causing excessive bleeding. The activity of LK is much higher than most traditional Chinese products that are available in the United States. Four phases of clinical studies have been done on LK at the Beijing Xuanwu Hospital (the top hospital in nerve & internal medicine in China). LK has been widely used in over 100 hospitals in Beijing since 1995. In Jakarta, LK has been used in thousands of hospitals and stores, in more than 20 provinces and cities, as well as in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Southeast Asia, and Europe.
LK is recognized by the Ministry of Public Health in China. LK capsules technology was awarded a certificate of National Significance Achievement in Science and Technology, listed as the Promotional project of National Key Technology Achievement and the National Torch Plan Program, and selected as National Key New product by six major ministries.

Dram Shop Law
Michigan, like several other states, has what is known as a dram shop law that may apply in certain drunk driving cases. "Dram shop" is an old term for an establishment that sells alcoholic beverages, which used to be served in units called drams.Dram Shop Law
The dram shop law holds those who work in these establishments liable for serving alcohol to someone who is overly intoxicated if that person is later involved in a motor vehicle accident that causes property damage or personal injury. If patrons in a bar, restaurant, or other drinking establishment meet the legal standard of being "visibly impaired ," then the bartender or server is legally required to stop serving them alcohol.Violating the Dram Shop Law
The dram shop law is not a criminal statute. However, if you were the last person to furnish alcohol to someone who caused damage to property or the injury or death of another person, the property owner or victim's family can take you to civil claims court for compensation of the damages.

Accommodation in Sicily
Belmond Grand Hotel Timeo
What can one say? In a hitlist of Great Views of the World, the panorama from the bar and restaurant terrace of the Timeo – over the clustered rooftops of Medieval Taormina, past the coves and headlands of eastern Sicily's volcanic coastline and across to the puffing peak of Mount Etna – would surely place high in the Top Ten. And the Greek Theater is right next door.
From the front desk to the chambermaids, everything runs with old-fashioned Grand Hotel courtesy and precision. A free shuttle bus links the Timeo with beachside sister hotel the Belmond Villa Sant'Andrea, whose beach, sun loungers and other facilities Timeo guests can use free of charge.
Double Classics and Double Superiors are located in Villa Flora, an annexe within the hotel grounds. Though they're done out with the same warm classic elegance as those in the main building, it's worth opting for the latter as these original rooms have a special atmosphere.
Sicily has a mild climate that makes it an attractive destination for much of the year: spring and autumn are sheer delight and though high summer temperatures really do soar, sea breezes in coastal areas take the edge off the heat.
Sicily is one of the world's most captivating places: with ever-present scent of lemon trees, purity of dawn light on terracotta walls, colorful decrepitude of Palermo's markets, drama of Stromboli erupting against a darkening sky, sense that history lurks always just around the next corner, reflective marble glow of late-night Ortygia and Marsala streets, the lonely majesty of Segesta, exotic flavors of Sicilian food and island's endless cultural complexities.

As a journalist, Laura Poitras was the quiet mastermind behind the publication of Edward Snowden's unprecedented NSA leak. As a filmmaker, her new movie Citizenfour makes clear she's one of the most important directors working in documentary today. And when it comes to security technology, she's a serious geek.
In the closing credits of Citizenfour, Poitras took the unusual step of adding an acknowledgment of the free software projects that made the film possible: The roll call includes the anonymity software Tor, the Tor-based operating system Tails, the anonymous upload system SecureDrop, GPG encryption, Off-The-Record (OTR) encrypted instant messaging, hard disk encryption software Truecrypt, and GNU Linux. All of that describes a technical setup that goes well beyond the precautions taken by most national security reporters, not to mention documentary filmmakers.
Poitras argues that without those technologies, neither her reporting on the Snowden leaks nor her film itself would have been possible. In an interview ahead of the October 24th opening of Citizenfour in theaters, she talked about the importance of those crypto tools, how to make a film in the shadow of the NSA, and a new era of high-level whistleblowing.
"These crypto tools let someone reveal information in a way that they can remain anonymous. That path has opened up."
In January, Snowden contacted Poitras via anonymous email and began to describe the contents of the leak he planned to give her. Poitras says she quickly realized that "this was going to be a game-changer." She asked her anonymous source to meet her for a more secure face-to-face conversation. But Snowden insisted that meeting in person was impossible, in part because he wished to remain anonymous even to Poitras herself. So they were left with fragile online communications. "If I wasn't already up to speed with using encryption, this leak might never have happened," she says. "It was necessary."
Poitras was already accustomed to encrypting her communications; she had been repeatedly stopped at the U.S. border and searched after the release of My Country, My Country, her 2006 film on the daily life of a family in Iraq, and later learned to use crypto tools when communicating with WikiLeaks' Julian Assange and privacy activist Jacob Appelbaum. When she realized the depth of Snowden's leaks, she went so far as to buy a new laptop—with cash—and to use it only with the Tails operating system. That free software is designed to leave no trace of your communications on your computer and to route all network data over the Tor anonymity network. Poitras says she used that Tails computer only to communicate with Snowden, and only in public places with Wifi connections—never her home or office.
Aside from her communications with Snowden, Poitras says she also kept all the film's footage on encrypted drives. Given that more than 30 people worked on the film, that's no simple organizational task. Poitras declined to share the full details of her security scheme for that content, but she says that "some of it is more deeply nested in terms of how it's protected and who has access to it." In fact, not even Citzenfour's funders and distributors saw a full, unredacted version of the film until just days before its premiere at the New York Film Festival last Friday. Until then, she showed them versions that had black blocks covering portions of certain frames.
"No amount of violence can solve a math problem."
Poitras' caution is echoed in the movie's narrative. In intimate scenes she recorded with Snowden in his Hong Kong hotel room—the core of her film—she shows him worrying that the VoIP deskphone in his room has been turned into a bug. He chides Glenn Greenwald for using a too-short password, dons a blanket over his head and laptop to enter his own passphrase (Snowden jokingly calls it his "magical mantel of power") and freezes up when a fire alarm test interrupts their work, suspecting foul play. Still, Poitras says that none of that was meant to portray Snowden as paranoid. "I wouldn't describe anything that Snowden recommends in that hotel room as paranoia," she says. "When your adversary is the NSA, that's not paranoid."
But despite her dark assessment of the NSA's reach, Poitras argues that Snowden's ability to stay out of the agency's grasp shows the power of cryptography. She quotes the cypherpunk mantra that cryptography levels the playing field between the individual and the government; it represents a math problem that no amount of authoritarian force can solve. "I do think that so long as we can maintain the ability for crypto not to be backdoored, there's a way for people to communicate securely," she says.
"I have a lot of respect for the cypherpunk movement," she adds. "The free software community should be supported more widely. I'm totally in solidarity with what they do."
"There are people who have profound moral concerns about these policies. And that leads to whistleblowers."
Poitras, the recipient of Macarthur "genius" grant in 2012, argues we've entered a new era of whistleblowing, one in which insiders will increasingly come forward to leak evidence of corruption and injustice. But she cautions that technology is only a part of the shift. "It's not just about the tools. It's about people willing to risk their lives to expose information," she says.
Poitras points to a new generation of government insiders who she says feel betrayed by the permanent institutionalization under Obama of policies that they saw as emergency measures under Bush. "The growth of the surveillance state, the increased drone wars, Guantanamo, these are activities that the U.S. government is engaging in that people think the public has a right to know about, and that they'll take risks to reveal," she says. "There are many, many whistleblowers and sources out there."
"One of the legacies of Snowden's disclosures, perhaps, is breaking the model."
After years of shooting for Citizenfour, Poitras says she actually discovered she had the material for two films. She won't say exactly what the subject of this second film might be, but hints that much of her footage is of Julian Assange. She's also working on a gallery exhibit at the Whitney Museum in New York scheduled for 2016.
In the meantime, Poitras has helped to found the Intercept, an investigative online magazine launched with Glenn Greenwald, Jeremy Scahill and eBay billionaire Pierre Omidyar. In her film, she reveals that the Intercept already has a second source, one who's communicated with Jeremy Scahill via encrypted messages and given him secret information on a U.S. terrorist watchlist and drone programs.
Poitras refused to discuss that source. But she points to the Intercept as part of a new media movement that's bolder and less beholden to governments' requests that leaked information be filtered or redacted. No longer will sources need to leak their secrets to the New York Times, which held off on revealing Bush's warrantless wiretapping program for more than a year at the administration's request.
"We all know these stories of sources who take a risk to approach an institution and that institution doesn't publish the information," she says. "I think that the existence of the Intercept or WikiLeaks or other outlets that are willing to publish that information creates a different media landscape."
And should we expect to see more radical disclosures from those outlets? Poitras bristles at the word "radical."
"I don't think what we're doing is radical," she says. "I think it's radical to censor information because the government asks you to. That's radical."

violence against women: australasia's cultural problem
A study published in medical journal, The Lancet earlier last week has revealed that incidents of sexual violence against women, specifically involving perpetrators who are not partners, is more than double the global average in Australia and New Zealand. The numbers read that 16.4 per cent of women 15 years or older in Australia and New Zealand have been the victim of sexual assault by someone who was not their partner – this could be other family members, friends, strangers. This compares to the global average of 7.2 per cent.
These are alarming statistics for both Australians and New Zealanders, particularly when taken in the wake of this week's sentencing of Simon Gittany to at least 18 months jail for the murder of his fiancée; as well as a string of incidences of sexual violence against young women in New South Wales.
Heather Nancarrow, Director of the Queensland Centre for Domestic and Family Violence at Central Queensland University, agrees that the statistics and numbers are of a significant worry to the two countries. She also recommends that the numbers be read and interpreted critically, as the rate of sexual violence is in line with the national statistics on violence.
'There are challenges for any research of this nature for reporting and under reporting. We do need to be a bit careful about seeing these figures as a genuine reflection of the actual incidents or prevalence in any particular country,' Nancarrow stated.
Nancarrow attributes the high rate of sexual violence to the attitude which some Australians hold regarding violence in general. She believes that although the vast majority of Australian men are not perpetrators of violence against women, some men participate in a culture of hyper-masculinity or the glorification of the so-called macho, and feel that they need to exert their power, sometimes by violent means.
'As a country we ought to be concerned about the level or the tolerance of violence that exists in our communities that is contributing to all kinds of crimes but particularly crimes against women…you need to look at cultural links, the very broad culture in Australia of continuing acceptance of male superiority and women being objectified, men feeling like they have an almost right to assert authority over women.'
Another main cultural issue regarding sexual violence against women is the continued emphasis on the victim of the assault, rather than the perpetrator. Efforts for self-defence and alteration of behaviour are given predominant focus by the media and social networking sites – for example, informing women not to walk alone at night, arming themselves with pepper spray or avoiding revealing clothing – rather than attributing the blame where it belongs, and that is squarely with the violent perpetrator. This is an ongoing cultural problem that also needs to be addressed, altered and changed not only in Australia, but globally.
Another cultural and societal problem that we face regarding this issue is encouraging women to report issues of sexual and physical assault. This is a real challenge due to the fact that many women face a lack of support or witnesses that are able to back up their claims. Women should feel encouraged to come forward without fear of being ostracised or made to feel ashamed – this is another issue which needs to be tackled in both Australia and worldwide.
Nancarrow encourages women who are victims of sexual assault to seek professional assistance immediately either directly with the police or another organisation that supports victims of violence against women. This is not just for the woman's safety and support, but it is also crucial for the appropriate authorities to gather necessary evidence, in order to compile studies and statistics, such as this research from The Lancet.
Support for victims is crucial; but the education of men is equally as important. Nancarrow states that there are programs in place for perpetrators in order to attempt to change their behaviour towards women, but fostering respect, education regarding a healthy sexual relationship, consent and a non-violent nature must be a preventative tactic, and must also be taught to men from a young age:
'We also need to be educating young people that it's not okay to manipulate or control or exert power over another person because that's the fundamental problem that we have – men exerting power over women. That can be expressed through sexual violence or other kinds of violence against women… The kind of sexual abuse that's going on is using that grey area about whether or not consent is being given as an excuse or an opportunity to commit sexual violence with a pretty good chance of getting away with it.'
The statistics reveal that Australia and New Zealand really do have a cultural problem when it comes to violence, and particularly that of violence against women. A number of changes need to occur in order to shift this problem from becoming ingrained.
3 thoughts on "violence against women: australasia's cultural problem"
This is an excellent article. Thank you for raising a difficult subject matter and highlighting some of the problems Australian society face. I agree with Ms Nancarrow that children need to be educated from a young age to respect one another, rather then continue the gender stereo typed roles that perpetuate the power imbalance of men as superior to women. I have a minor correction, Mr Gittany was sentenced to eighteen years (not months). Keep up the good work.

Pa. Court Favors Enterprise in Consumer Protection AppealDecember 15, 2014 – In The News
Abraham Reich and Theodore Jobes were quoted in the Law360 article, "Pa. Court Favors Enterprise in Consumer Protection Appeal." Full text can be found in the December 15, 2014, issue, but a synopsis is below.
The Pennsylvania Supreme Court stated that the "ascertainable loss" standard set forth under a state consumer protection law excludes losses incurred from retaining counsel. This neutralized the suit against an Enterprise Holdings Inc. branch for supposedly misleading a customer with deceptive fees.
Abraham Reich, who represents Enterprise in the case, explained that loosening the standards would open the state to a tidal wave of litigation from plaintiffs alleging deceptive behavior on the part of companies.
"What you will create is a cottage industry of lawyers ... looking for deceptive conduct," Reich stated.
The high court agreed, saying the lax definition would make it too easy to bring frivolous suits under the UTPCPL.
Enterprise is represented by Abraham Reich and Theodore Jobes of Fox Rothschild LLP.

text: Ariana Grande on Kesha: "I Don't Think a Male Artist Would Be in This Position" 6:46 PM PST 3/11/2016 by Billboard Staff FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME AP Images/Invision Ariana Grande - H 2015 Grande offered support for her fellow performer Friday. Ariana Grande is lending her support to Kesha. When asked by Carson Daly during a 97.1 Amp Radio interview on Friday what she thought of Kesha's unfolding legal situation, Grande replied, "I love Kesha. I worked with her when I was a lot younger. We've been friends. I support her, regardless of what's going on. I didn't know about a lot of this. At the time, I was really young. We didn't discuss any of this. "The incredible double standards that we [women] face on a daily basis, in the industry and just in the world, it's shocking," continued Grande. "I would be so amused — and pardon me if this comes across as sexist — but I don't think a male artist would be in this position right now. Sorry. ... And my fellow women are definitely something that I will always be one of the first to speak up about." Grande recently dropped her new song, "Dangerous Woman," the title track from her upcoming third album, and she will host and serve as musical guest on Saturday Night Live this weekend.

7. Would you prefer to be in a position where you did not have the responsibilities of making decisions?As it happens, I do resent the efforts of others to tell me what to do, and I would not prefer to be in a position where I did not have the responsibilities of making my own decisions - much less a position of "strict discipline." I do happen to enjoy choosing my own activities, thanks very much, and I certainly do not wish to put up with any cult leaders causing me "a considerable amount of inconvenience." Somehow I get the feeling that Scientology and I would not get along.
23. Do you resent the efforts of others to tell you what to do?
29. Would you rather give orders than take them?
31. Could you agree to "strict discipline"?
32. Would the idea of making a complete new start cause you much concern?
55. When hearing a lecturer, do you sometimes experience the idea that the speaker is referring entirely to you?
68. Do you enjoy activities of your own choosing?

107. Do you turn down responsibility because you doubt your fitness to cope?
120. When met with direct opposition would you still seek to have your own way rather than give in?
125. Are you suspicious of people who ask to borrow money from you?
126. Are your decisions swayed by personal interests?
128. Do you frequently take action even though you know your own good judgment would indicate otherwise?

Enhanced fertility, pregnancy and childbirth
Hypnosis can effectively be used to: enhance fertility; help with challenges faced during pregnancy; and to alleviate pain during labour and childbirth.
A wide variety of factors can affect fertility. Due to the large variety in causative and affecting factors, each individual is treated in their own unique way. Infertility can affect every aspect of your life, from relationships to your career. And after many months or even years of infertility it can lead to feelings of hopelessness. Hypnosis can be used to achieve an optimal fertile state of health and wellbeing, enabling the body to naturally produce the hormones needed for reproduction. It can also work alongside fertility treatment to help you to feel more comfortable and empowered during each stage.
Whilst many pregnancies are straightforward, some may not be and can include a variety of different symptoms as the body goes through many changes. Hypnosis can help to dispel myths and alleviate some of the fear and anxiety associated with pregnancy and childbirth.
Hynosis can also help to reduce pain by preparing you mentally for labour and birth, reducing the need for pain relief medications and thereby eliminating their risks and post-delivery effects for both mother and baby. Evidence suggests that it may also reduce the average duration of labour.
Hypnosis uses the power of suggestion to help you relax more quickly and more easily during labour. If you are able to feel more relaxed, more oxygen reaches you and your baby. Increased oxygen stimulates the production of oxytocin (the hormone that controls contractions) and endorphins (the natural feel-good chemicals). The ultimate goal is contractions that are more effective and less painful. However, hypnotic training needs to take place prior to delivery because hypnotic techniques have to be learned for them to be effective (30+ weeks).

Paul Heslin, Digital Collection Infrastructure Support Officer/Film Preservation Officer at the National Film and Sound Archive of Australia (NFSA) has generously contributed the following blog post. Introduction by Cambridge Policy and Planning Fellow, Somaya.
As Digital Preservation is such a wide-ranging field, people working in this field can't be an absolute expert on absolutely everything. It's important to have areas of expertise and to connect and collaborate with others who can share their knowledge and experience.
While I have a background in audio, broadcast radio, multimedia and some video editing, moving image preservation is not my area of speciality. It is for this reason I invited Paul Heslin to compose a follow-up to my Audiovisual creation and preservation blog post. Paul Heslin is a Digital Archivist at the NFSA, currently preoccupied with migrating the digital collection to a new generation of LTO tapes.
I am incredibly indebted to Paul and the input from his colleagues and managers (some of whom are also my former colleagues, from when I worked at the NFSA).
Background to moving image preservation
A core concern for all archives is the ongoing accessibility of their collections. In this regard film archives have traditionally been spoilt: a film print does not require any intermediate machinery for assessment, and conceptually a projector is not a complicated device (at least in regards to presenting the visual qualities of the film). Film material can be expected to last hundreds of years if kept in appropriate vault conditions; other moving image formats are not so lucky. Many flavours of videotape are predicted to be extinct within a decade, due to loss of machinery or expertise, and born-digital moving image items can arrive at the archive in any possible format. This situation necessitates digitisation and migration to formats which can be trusted to continue to be suitable. But not only suitable!
Optimistically, the digital preservation of these formats carries the promise of these items maintaining their integrity perpetually. Unlike analogue preservation, there is no assumption of degradation over time, however there are other challenges to consider. The equipment requirements for playing back a digital audiovisual file can be complicated, especially as the vast majority of such files are compressed using encoding/decoding systems called codecs. There can be very interesting results when these systems go wrong!
Codecs can be used in an archival context for much the same reason as the commercial world. Data storage is expensive and money saved can certainly be spent elsewhere. However, a key difference is that archives require truly lossless compression. So, it is important here to distinguish between lossless codecs which are mathematically lossless and those which are visually lossless. The later claims to encode in a way which is visually indistinguishable from an original source file, but it still dispenses with 'superfluous' data. This is not appropriate for archival usage, as this data loss cannot be recovered, and accumulated migration will ultimately result in visual and aural imperfections.
Another issue for archivists is that many codecs are proprietary or commercially owned: Apple's ProRes format is a good example. While it is ubiquitously used within the production industry, it is an especially troubling example given signs that Apple will not be providing support into the future, especially for non-Mac platforms. This is not a huge issue for production companies who will have moved on to new projects and codecs, but for archives collecting these materials this presents a real problem. For this reason there is interest in dependable open standards which exist outside the commercial sphere.
One of the more interesting developments in this area has been the emergence of the FFV1 codec. FFV1 started life in the early 2000s as a lossless codec associated with the FFMPEG free software project and has since gained some traction as a potential audiovisual preservation codec for the future. The advantages of the codec are:
- It is non-proprietary, unlike the many other popular codecs currently in use.
- It makes use of truly lossless compression, so archives can store more material in less space without compromising quality.
- FFV1 files are ALWAYS losslessly compressed, which avoids accidents that can result from using formats which can either encode losslessly or lossily (like the popular JPEG-2000 archival format).
- It internally holds checksums for each frame, allowing archivists to check that everything is as it should be. Frame checksums are especially useful in identifying where error has specifically occurred.
- Benchmark tests indicate that conversion speeds are quicker than JPEG-2000. This makes a difference for archives dealing with large collections and limited computing resources.
The final, and possibly most exciting, attribute of FFV1 is that it is developing out of the needs of the archival community, rather than relying on specifications designed for industry use. Updates from the original developer, Michael Niedermayer, have introduced beneficial features for archival use and so far the codec has been implemented in different capacities by the The National Archives in the UK, the Austrian National Archives, and the Irish Film Institute, as well as being featured in the FIAF Journal Of Film Preservation.

Seven Crystals for Yule
I have studied crystal healing for many years and have studied and been attuned to reiki levels one, two, and masters.
Traditionally, the pagan festival of Yule is celebrated on the 21stof December and marks the rebirth of the sun. This is also the winter solstice, the longest night and shortest day of the year. At this time in the wheel of the year, the goddess becomes a mother again in giving birth to the sun. This is a celebration of rebirth and renewal, as well as looking forward to and planning for the coming year. After Yule, the sun slowly climbs in the sky bringing a little more light day by day.
As a fire festival, Yule is often celebrated with bonfires and natural decorations such as oranges, apples, holly, ivy, and mistletoe. Traditionally, a central feature of a Yule celebration would be a yule log. This should have been harvested from a person's own land or have been gifted to them rather than bought. The log is brought into the house, laid in the fireplace, and adorned with greenery, cider, and flour. Using a piece of the previous year's log, the yule log is lit and left to burn overnight and smolder for 12 days before being out. In modern times, this practice is often not possible, so alternatives are used. Alternatives are often in the form of a homemade candle holder which consists of a thick tree branch. The branch should be flattened on one side to make it stable and safe, and have three holes drilled in the top, large enough for your chosen candles. The candle holder can be decorated with seasonal greenery, flowers, and colors associated with Yule, such as red, gold, green, and white, if desired.
1. Clear Quartz
Clear quartz is a powerful healing crystal that has the ability to amplify, release, unblock, and regulate energy. It is a deeply cleansing crystal that can be used to connect the mind, body, and soul. This crystal can be used in bringing clarity to your thinking and in boosting concentration, so is an excellent aid to meditation. Clear quartz will amplify positive thoughts and energy and help stimulate you into taking positive actions. If you are feeling confused, inadequate or unsure in life, this crystal can help you to see your worth and path ahead more clearly.
2. Lemon Quartz
This crystal is also known as ouro verde quartz and has received no toxic radiation in order to produce its beautiful colouring. This variety of quartz is said to bring optimism and creativity to anyone that wears it. Meditation with lemon quartz will help you to focus on your goals with a clear mind and positive outlook. This is an excellent choice of stone for supporting anyone who wishes to make changes in their lives. Lemon quartz can be used to help lessen negative thoughts and feelings of anxiety. It can be used to look into the future and at potential future events with the wisdom of the past in mind. This can lead to more clarity of thought and the ability to make more positive and constructive choices. Ouro verde quartz can help you in seeing meaning in life and in reaching your full potential. This crystal has a high vibrational rate that some people may find is too much or causes an adverse reaction.
3. Peridot
Since ancient times, peridot has been believed to be a very protective stone that has the ability to keep away evil spirits. This is an excellent cleansing stone that can be used to remove anything toxic from a person, whether these are present in the physical body, mind, spirit, or aura. Peridot can be used in any situation where burdens and guilt from the past need to be released. This crystal teaches that holding onto the past is counterproductive, and can hinder our progress in life or leave us following negative patterns of thoughts and behaviors.
4. Ruby
Rubies have long been associated with winter solstice celebrations. It is an energizing stone that can bring vitality to life but that some may find overstimulating. This crystal encourages us to have a passion for life and to follow your heart, while keeping any goals realistic. With its ability to bring enthusiasm, passion, and vigor to life, ruby is an ideal stone for setting and manifesting intentions for the coming year.
5. Black Onyx
Onyx is a crystal of strength that can provide support in difficult or confusing situations. This stone can help to centre your energy and help you to connect with your inner and higher self. This can make moving forward an easier process and give more self-confidence. Onyx is a grounding stone that releases negativity and helps you to understand what motivates you. This information can then be used in making decisions and working on goals and plans for the upcoming year.
6. Snowflake Obsidian
This pretty black and white stone helps us to remember that everything in life is in balance. At Yule, this relates to the balance between light and dark. It can be used to reflect on our most inner thoughts and feelings, bringing forward issues that need our attention or to be worked on. Snowflake obsidian will support in addressing these matters and then in moving forward with life. This can be a particularly beneficial stone for anyone who finds the dark winter months difficult.
7. Snow Quartz
Snow quartz can be used as an alternative to clear quartz and has a gentler, but slower working energy. It can be useful for sensitive individuals or when it is beneficial to work through a matter slowly but effective. This crystal can be used in supporting you in learning life lessons and in understanding your limits. Snow quartz is a helpful stone when tact and cooperation are needed and will help you think before you speak. It can help to slow the emotions and stop you being carried away by these. When used in meditation, snow quartz can help to enhance mental clarity and alertness.
