Ramen burgers: The next food phenom?
It's been widely cited as the new cronut. Another freaky food phenomenon produced from two distinct items and made in short supply to draw snaking lines and drive up demand: Behold the "ramen burger."
Since debuting at the beginning of the month at a food fair in Brooklyn, N.Y. the ramen burger has shown potential signs of generating as much buzz and viral interest as the cronut, a hybrid croissant-donut that has taken the food world by storm.
If you haven't heard of the ramen burger by now, here's how it looks: Two round discs of crispy, fried ramen noodles sandwich a beef patty topped with scallions and a special "shoyu" sauce.
It's an idea that borrows from the playbook of KFC, which caused a stir when it replaced burger buns with two deep-fried chicken cutlets back in 2010.
Meanwhile, buzz from Keizo Shimamoto's ramen burger drew snaking lines of people at a Brooklyn food fair over the past two weekends who stood for hours in the rain for a chance at one of the limited-edition sandwiches -- another strategy taken directly from the cronut playbook.
Cronut inventor Dominique Ansel succeeded in creating soaring demand for his deep-fried pastry by limiting daily production to just 200 a day when he first started in May. In just a few months, the croissant-donut has spawned knock-offs and copycats all over the world.
But the ramen burger isn't a new invention. In an interview with The Daily Beast, Shimamoto says he imported the idea from Japan, tweaking the recipe to replace the pork filling with beef patties.
The Japanese-American, meanwhile, is a self-described ramen "freak" who spent time in Japan studying the fine art of ramen-making before becoming a noodle chef himself. He also created a short film called "Ramen Dream" last year that pays homage to his food obsession.
He also hinted at plans to open a brick and mortar restaurant selling ramen burgers.
Meanwhile, the popularity of the cronut has inspired a food purveyor at Canada's largest fair, the CNE in Toronto, to sell the cronut burger, a facsimile of the hybrid pastry that also sandwiches a beef patty and which will debut this week.

The natural convection versions work perfectly to provide an air curtian, battling cold downdrafts from windows. Whereas the forced air (silent fan assisted) versions are designed to provide whole room heating, with minimal lengths. Designed for ease of installation, our trench heating starts at just 7.5cm depth, and is perfect for retro-fit purposes, as well as new installations. Again, with many models in this section, bespoke units are always possible. If you see something you like, but it doesn't quite fit the bill, please call us on 08450 580 540 or email us on firstname.lastname@example.com and we will be able to discuss a near limitless range of options with you.

If you've recently had a baby, you may want to light a candle to commemorate the event. A candle lit to celebrate the birth of a baby can have several meanings that may help you and your family make the occasion even more special.
The type of candle that is lit at the baby's birth can represent several things. For instance, a blue candle usually means the baby has just come into the world; a candle in the shape of a cross can welcome a baby into a Christian home.
Ceremonial Uses
At a baby-naming ceremony or christening, a candle is sometimes lit for the newborn as a sign that the child's loved ones want the baby's path through life to be illuminated by a spiritual source. Since candles are also used to represent someone's memory, stillborn babies are often honored by a lit candle. The candles can be displayed at the child's vigil, and are sometimes lit on behalf of the mother to comfort her.
Representing Light
Some parents choose to light a candle in honor of their newborn to signify that the child has brought light and happiness to their lives. Lighting the candle for this purpose can take place immediately after the baby is delivered or during a ceremony to introduce the baby to loved ones.

- Make a Plan: Discuss, agree on and document an emergency plan for those in your care. Click here for planning resources to help you get started.
- Assemble a Kit: Keep enough emergency supplies on hand for you and those in your care – water, non-perishable food, first aid, prescriptions, flashlight, battery-powered radio, etc. Click here for what to include in your kit.
- Stay Informed: There are many resources available to help you and your family stay informed about hazardous conditions. Click here to learn more.
- Get Trained: After you've made a plan and assembled a kit, take your preparedness a step further by getting trained in first aid, CPR/AED or in other safety areas. Or take it a step further and become a member of a Neighborhood Emergency Team (NET). Click here for training resources.
Also consider participating in the "30 Days, 30 Ways" campaign run by Portland partner CRESA and challenge yourself to one simple task each day this month. Details can be found at http://www.30days30ways.com/.
Remember that emergency responders may not always be able to reach you quickly, such as if trees and power lines are down or if they're overwhelmed by demand from an emergency. The most important step you can take in helping your local responders is being able to take care of yourself and those in your care; the more people who are prepared, the quicker the community will recover.

Asian cooking ingredients are selected from a huge variety of herbs and spices, curry pastes and condiments. These are integral parts of dishes across Asia. Unlike bland Western dining, there is no salt or pepper in sight, and certainly no tomato ketchup! Instead, dishes are intensely flavourful and often accompanied by a sauce specific to each dish… The innate complexity of Asian cooking is at first bewildering…
Common Asian Cooking Ingredients – A – L
(Asian Recipe Ingredients M to Z)
Bean Sprouts (Phaseolus aureus)
The tender young sprouts of the germinating mung bean are used in Asia as a vegetable and fried in cooked dishes. They are also often used raw in salads.
Chili Sauce
Asian chili sauces are usually fairly thick and hot, unlike the West's thinner Tobasco. Chili sauce is prepared from pulped peppers (Capscium frutescens) , flavoured with garlic and vinegar, and thickened with cornstarch. Preservatives may be added to extend the shelf life. Chili sauce is usually eaten as a condiment with Chinese dishes, and always with easy Thai food recipes and dishes.
Chinese five-spice powder
A blend of spices consisting of anise-pepper, star anise, cassia, cloves and fennel seed. A licorice flavour predominates. Used in Chinese cuisine for a variety of savory dishes, it is available in powder form. (Chinese food recipes)
Chinese Mushroom (Lentinus edodes)
Also called Shiitake mushroom, these are the most widely used mushrooms in oriental cooking and are grown in China and Japan on the wood of dead deciduous trees. Lentinus edodes takes its name from the shii tree (Pasania), but also grows on the oak and hornbeam. The spawn is planted into holes or wedges cut in the logs, and crops last for 3-6 years. Shiitake are fried by sun, or artificial heat. Dried ones should be soaked in warm water for 20 minutes.
Cinnamon (Cinnamomum zeylanicum)
The dried, aromatic bark of an everygreen of the laurel family, native to Ceylon and India and a core of Indian food recipes. Cinnamon is used in the form of quills, bark and powder.

Coconut (Cocos nucifera)
The fruit of the coconut palm, antive to the Tropics, the form in which it is usually sold is as the outer skin has been removed. It is also availble dried or flaked.

Former residents show support for embattled Iowa Juvenile Home
Hundreds of supporters fill gym at South Tama County High
Emotions were flying high Thursday as former residents of the embattled Iowa Juvenile Home told a crowd the home should stay open.
Hundreds of supporters filled the gym at South Tama County High School in hopes of getting across their message that the home needs to stay open.
"The students of the Iowa Juvenile Home and Iowa cannot be better served in better placements," said Mike Sawyer, the former Iowa Juvenile Home principal.
Dozens of speakers made a passionate plea to keep the home open. Supporters said the home is a place where the most troubled teens go to get help and find stability.
Earlier in December, Gov. Terry Branstad called for the closure of the facility by Jan. 16, following recommendations from an appointed task force. Twenty-one residents would be relocated and 93 employees would be out of a job if the home closed.
Jamie Koster, a teacher at the home, is among those who would lose their job.
"Closing the Iowa Juvenile Home is not in the best interest of the youth at risk of Iowa," Koster said. "I challenge the governor to listen to these youth."
Former residents were the most emotional at the meeting. They said the Iowa Juvenile Home is the only place where they felt like they belonged. They said it was the first place where staff cared about them. For many of the former residents, the home was their second or third treatment facility.
"(I) can't give up on myself because they didn't give (up)," said former resident Breanna Dailing.
Many of the former residents shared their success stories and spoke about how the facility and the staff have helped them turn their lives around.
"They cared about me more than anywhere else," said former resident Chelsea Reasoner.

Please Note: This article is written for users of the following Microsoft Excel versions: 2007, 2010, 2013, 2016, 2019, and Excel in Office 365. If you are using an earlier version (Excel 2003 or earlier), this tip may not work for you. For a version of this tip written specifically for earlier versions of Excel, click here: How Excel Stores Dates and Times.
by Allen Wyatt
(last updated February 19, 2020)
Internally, Excel stores a date or time as a number. The whole part of the number (the part to the left of the decimal point) represents the number of days starting with an arbitrary starting point (typically January 1, 1900). The decimal portion (the part to the right of the decimal point) represents the time for that date. These internal representations of dates and times are often referred to as serial numbers.
To see how this works, enter the number 23 in a cell. If you have not previously formatted the cell, Excel uses the General format, displaying the number simply as 23. If you later format this cell using a date format—m/d/yy, for instance—Excel changes the display to 1/23/00, or January 23, 1900. (January 1, 1900, is 1; January 2 is 2; January 3 is 3; and so on.)
The portion to the right of the decimal point represents a fractional portion of a day. Thus, a single second would be equal to approximately 0.00001157407, since that is equal to 1 (a day) divided by 86,400 (the number of seconds in a day).
Since Excel stores dates and times as serial numbers, you can do math on them. For instance, if you wanted to determine the number of days between two dates, or the amount of time between two times, simply subtract them from each other. The result is the number of days and fractions of days between the two.

A leap year can be divided by 4, but it is not a leap year if it can be divided by 100 - except if it can be divided by 400. So 1600 and 2000 should be leap year, and 1900 should not.
The error in 1900 date system can be avoided by using the 1904 date system.

@Tony and Chris
This is a known bug which Excel inherited from Lotus 1.2.3.
2015-09-21 04:14:32
When subtracting times to get an interval, I run into trouble when this results in a negative time interval which, I believe, Excel does not permit. To date (pardon the pun), I have used conditional formatting to colour such intervals red but ensure to calculate a positive result.
2015-09-21 03:58:39
Tony Nixon
Chris is absolutely right, I have just tried this on Excel 2010 and after Tuesday 28 Feb 1900 comes
Wednesday 29 Feb 1900. Only 00 years that are divisible by 400 (rather than 4) are leap years - or did this practice only start after 1900??
This prompts the question: 'At what point does Excel get the day and date back in sync' because it is OK today Monday 21st Sept 2015 - and has been correct for the 25 years I have been using Excel!
2015-09-19 06:42:22
Chris Finn
Interesting to note in passing that Excel thinks 1900 was a leap year -- which we all know it wasn't, in the Gregorian Calendar.
Enter a 1 in cell A1 and 2 in cell A2, then extend downwards about 70 cells.
Now turn these numbers into dates. Below Feb 28th, we should see Mar 1st, but Excel (at least, all versions I have used) inserts an unwanted Feb 29th...
Got a version of Excel that uses the ribbon interface (Excel 2007 or later)? This site is for you! If you use an earlier version of Excel, visit our ExcelTips site focusing on the menu interface.

In the late 1960s, America's most popular and enduring genre went nova. This was, to say the least, a final burst of freaky creativity—good and bad—from a fading genre, bringing revisionism, surrealism, dinosaurs, and even Elvis Presley to the "cowboy" movie. The western was undergoing radical change and experimentation, and we present two never-before-available scores from that period: Both were produced by 20th Century-Fox with top-line casts: John Wayne and Rock Hudson in The Undefeated; Paul Newman and a sturdy ensemble in Hombre.
The Undefeated is a sprawling escapist western involving Civil War factions, Mexican politics, bandits, mustangs and brawls—typical Duke fare, but with updated scope and ambitions. The score, by Hugo Montenegro, is a long, showy score steeped in tradition yet with a pop gleam in its eye; it features reams of deceptively simple yet memorable thematic material. Its terrific main theme could easily be at home in a modern-day NFL broadcast.
In contrast, Hombre is a sober portrait of human interaction and prejudice, re-teaming Newman with a filmmaker of great deliberate craft, director Martin Ritt. David Rose, who scored pop song hits with "The Stripper" and "Holiday for Strings" wrote a short, sparse score that we have collected into longer suite-form tracks; the music presents a meaningful and melodic echo of the story's quiet deliberations.
Together, these scores add up to over an hour of music in stereo. Along with a bonus "mystery track", this CD stands as a tribute to two distinguished, prolific but underrepresented musicians—and a snapshot of their memorable contributions to the western's last days.

Kathy (above) was one of many volunteers that helped out today. Kathy did a great job tidying multiple areas with a strong focus on dealing with early weeds. Dr. Gredler was in for painting and mowing out in the gardens. He also is spreading grass seed in thin areas. Bill O. was around this morning to help paint inside and Maury ran errands for us and also helped with the tree sale. Kay came in to tidy up in the sunken garden as our first wedding of the season is this Sunday in that space. Jenny was in to work on more label preparations and we also saw Polly, Dick H., Glenn D. and many others today.
The grounds staff was busy as is usual on a Friday (and every day!). Cindy potted up 250 'Moonlight' caladiums this morning and headed out for garden clean-up and tidying in the Nancy Yahr Memorial Children's Garden. She also checked on our greenhouse and yard watering. Big John potted up elephant ears (Colocasia esculenta) this morning and moved outside to mark irrigation heads (to avoid as we aerate the lawns!), installing and filling more containers with soil, gravel spreading and much more. Janice helped prepare for the craziness tomorrow, did the cutting display and bounced between some additional gardening tasks. I was out in the gardens briefly but am preparing for the weekend which also includes training tomorrow for our Garden Ambassadors (9 am), Tour Guides (11 am) and Sunday Watering Volunteers (1 pm). Too bad it wont be 75 degrees F and sunny! Enjoy the color below, all photographed today.

The situation was pretty straight-forward; a system (Win7SP1) had been identified as having been infected with malware at one point. What had been determined from the initial analysis that had been conducted was that the system have been infected in Sept, 2014. As it turned out, the malware in question had been deleted by an AV scan around mid-Aug, 2015, and the image had been acquired near the end of Sept, 2015. Two user profiles had been identified as having been involved in the initial infection.
The goal of this analysis was pretty simple. Essentially, the initial analysis work had already been done, and a report had been delivered to the client. My objective for this analysis was to gain greater insight into the infection process, and to see if I could develop threat intelligence from anything else that I found.
I performed all of my work using free and open-source tools.
- Timeline Tools
- RegRipper
- FTK Imager
- Volatility
I conducted my analysis using Notepad++.
I created a timeline of system activity using:
- File system metadata
- Selected Windows Event Logs
- Registry hives (Software, System, Security)
- NTUSER.DAT and USRCLASS.DAT from the two profiles of interest
- User WebCacheV01.DAT IE browser history files
The system did have Prefetch files but given the time frame, there were no files of interest in the Prefetch folder.
Once I created the timeline, I was able to easily add context to what I was looking at using other tools. For example, I parsed the user's WebCacheV01.dat files initially using esedbexport.exe, and then using ESEDatabaseView. An important take-away from this is data interpretation...entries have several time stamps associated with each visited URL, and the incorrect identification and interpretation of those time stamps can significantly impact your findings. For example, the visited URL has an expiry date time stamp; assuming that this is when the site was last accessed can have a significant (and perhaps detrimental) impact on your overall analysis.
I took a look at IE session recovery files using the Structured Storage Viewer; I got what I needed out of the particular streams of interest, and added notes to my timeline.
Mapping the user's TypedURLs values with the TypedURLsTime values was pretty fascinating, although all it really did was support findings that didn't pertain directly to the malware. Still...it was pretty cool.
User shellbags proved to be very illuminating, and the UserAssist information added additional context to what I was seeing. In the case of one user profile, the combination of those two artifacts illustrated intentional, purposeful activity...the user navigated to a specific subfolder, and double-clicked a specific .exe file, launching it. File system and Registry events following this activity indicated the execution of the application.
Hibernation File
It turned out that the system was a laptop, and had a hibernation file. I extracted the file, and used Volatility 2.5 to convert it to raw format. The "imageinfo" command told me that the hibernation file had been created on 13 Sept 2015, a bit before the image was acquired. I didn't expect to find anything of value from the memory image, but I ran a couple of commands (pslist, psxview) anyway. Doing so essentially validated my suspicions, but better to do it than not. Besides, I wasn't stopping my other analysis...the command prompt where I ran the commands simply went to the background, and I examined the output files when the commands completed.
The previous analysis had indicated that strings/IOCs associated with the malware had been found in the hibernation file. I used strings.exe, and then the Volatility 'strings' command, and found that those strings were in free space.
Working with VSCs
A quick check of the image indicated that there were volume shadow copies (VSCs) available, which was great. Most corporate systems I've dealt with for the past couple of years have had VSCs disabled for some reason, and here was one that didn't. I ran vhdtool.exe to "convert" the image, which essentially added a footer to the file. As my analysis system is Windows 10, I renamed the file to have the ".vhd" file extension. I opened the Disk Management utility and attached the newly-created VHD, and used the following command to list the available VSCs:
vssadmin list shadows /for=g:
Interestingly, I basically followed the process laid out in this blog post. The output of the vssadmin command showed me that there was a VSC that had been created on 13 Jul 2015, which was about a month prior to the malware being detected and quarantined by AV. I linked the VSC to a folder on my analysis system, and added the contents of the folder to FTK Imager; however, this didn't give me the level of access I wanted, as I wanted to get, among other things, a copy of the $MFT from the VSC.
That's where Jimmy's blog post on mounting shadow volumes can into play. Using vss.exe, I added the VSC in question to my analysis system as X:\, which appeared as a RAM image. I then added the logical volume to FTK Imager, and was able to extract the $MFT, as well as other files. By creating a timeline using files extracted from the VSC, I was able to create a bit more context around the
Creating the timeline in the manner that I did allowed me to get started on my analysis in fairly short order, identify what needed a closer look, and then add context and notes to the timeline. I didn't have to wait for an automated tool to complete, and then trudge through a lot of data that didn't pertain to what I was trying to determine. I admit, I had a bit of a leg up because of the initial analysis that had been conducted, but the process I used would have led me to the initial indicators pretty quickly. Specifically, the use of eventmap.txt in parsing Windows Event Logs allows for a number of event records to be auto-tagged, and then easily searched for in the timeline. Searching the timeline for the "[MalDetect]" tag would've taken me to the "Symantec Endpoint Protection Client" event ID 51 record that identified what would be my initial pivot point.
As it turns out, there were a number of "Symantec Endpoint Protection Client/51" events in the timeline, so an easy fix to that would have been to do something like this:
type events.txt | find "[MalDetect]" > av_events.txt
The above command runs through the events file and locates all malware detection events, putting them into a separate file. From there, I could have run:
parse -f av_events.txt > av_tln.txt
This would give me a nano-timeline of just AV detection events, giving me a much smaller set of data to analyze, and on which I could pivot. This would also pick up all malware detection events, for any such events mapped in the eventmap.txt file.
Accessing the shadow volume allowed me to collect copies of files that were not otherwise accessible, as well as get a look at the state of the system prior to the malware being removed. In this case, the malware employed two persistence mechanisms, which meant that two copies of the malware existed on the system. My initial timeline provided an indication of this, as immediately prior to the AV writing it's detection and quarantine message to the Windows Event Log, there were changes to two locations within the file system, and to one Registry key. Accessing the shadow volume from a time when the malware existed on the system allowed me to confirm what I had suspected. It only took a few minutes, and to be honest, it was worth time to close the loop on the speculation.
I should note that I exported the hibernation file from the shadow volume, but once I converted it to raw format, the "imageinfo" command showed me that it had the same "image date and time" as the one from the image. Running "pslist" and "psxview" gave me the exact same information as running those commands on the original hibernation file. I need to look into this more, but it seems that the hibernation file is not tracked in shadow volumes, although the $MFT is.

There has been a lot of talk among GOP hopefuls about the dangers of "career politicians." Ben Carson and Carly Fiorina are just the most recent to claim that they are more qualified or trustworthy because they are not politicians.
This may be similar to the proleptic Heinz ketchup ad campaign which attempted to put a positive spin on how frustrating it was to use Heinz ketchup. Wannabe politicians without political experience have to defuse that lack of experience somehow. This is one way. But some commentators are already crying foul:
Do you want the next president to be somebody who brags about not being a politician?
Think about that for a minute. "Politician" isn't a popular term right now. But claiming that you're not one when you run for president is a little like applying for a job as brain surgeon by announcing, "I am not a physician."
Trending: No, Hillary Did Not Win the Popular Vote…And Yes, the Electoral College Did Protect America from Corruption at the Ballot Box
Is that actually the case? Is there a difference between a politician and a statesman? I think so. What exactly is a politician? Someone with political experience? No. A politician, as defined connotatively, is a person who exercises his position merely for his own personal gain and is therefore susceptible to bribery and corruption. A statesman is someone who puts the interests of his country and his constituency above his own, operating according to fixed and immovable principles.
A person with political experience is not necessarily a politician. Conversely, someone who doesn't have political experience is not immune from becoming a politician. In fact, utilizing the "I'm not a politician" tack is a rather political thing to do.
We don't need more politicians in Washington. We need statesmen. But that requires political experience. There's the rub. How could anyone with any morals actually keep his convictions after a few turns in Washington? It's rare. But it's not impossible. There have been statesmen like that before, and we need them badly now.

Like the remarkable ecosystems of Gondwana Link, the groups and individuals involved in achieving the Gondwana Link vision are diverse and broad in scope. Most work in specific sections of the Link, though some organisations support work across multiple sections.
A number of organisations and individuals are very actively involved in the Gondwana Link. Key groups we work closely with include:
Some of these groups are also formal members of Gondwana Link Ltd, and some we have formal contracts and MoUs with.
It seems unfair to pluck the names of just a few individuals out of from the many hundreds we have worked with, so we are going to add to this list in the near future. We have a specific project underway to video record and share the stories of many of the great locals it has been our pleasure to support and be supported by.
There are many other individuals who are actively contributing to the Gondwana Link program. Donors contribute significant financial resources. Volunteers contribute their time and energy, especially to help the groups involved in Gondwana Link to implement important projects on the ground, through assisting with research and property management.
Find out more about how you can be involved.
Bush Heritage Australia
Bush Heritage Australia is a national non-profit organisation that protects Australia's unique animals, plants and their habitats by acquiring and managing land of outstanding conservation value, or by working in partnership with other landowners. Since 2002, within Gondwana Link Bush Heritage have purchased Chereninup, Monjebup and Red Moort reserves, and have co-purchased Yarrabee and Peniup with Greening Australia. All of these properties contain significant areas of existing or regenerating bushland, but areas have also been replanted to local native species. Once purchased and restored, the properties require on-going management for control of weeds, feral animals and wildfire, as well as ecological monitoring to ensure that the management is meeting the ecological goals.
Birdlife Australia
One of Australia's oldest conservation organisations Birdlife has worked to understand and protect bird habitats since 1901. The records they compile, based on the observations of thousands of volunteers around the country, are one of the most valuable sources of information on long term trends available to conservation planners and managers. Birds Australia also has many significant research projects in place, two of which are of particular significance to Gondwana Link: one on Carnaby's Black Cockatoos (Calyptorhynchus latirostris) a bird that epitomises Gondwana Link: protecting and restoring the habitats and processes that will allow this species to continue. In the Great Western Woodlands, Birdlife Australia is partnering with The Nature Conservancy on a significant research project.
Fitzgerald Biosphere Group
The Fitzgerald Biosphere Group focuses on local issues with a very "on-ground" approach, and has projects addressing environment, research, marketing and education to build sustainability into local production systems and the natural environment. Some FBG landholders in the Fitz-Stirling region are involved in the Bremer River, Wellstead Estuary and/or Fitzgerald River projects and undertake activities such as revegetation using multiple native species, fencing to protect bushland and waterways from stock, and weed and feral control.
Friends of Fitzgerald River National Park
The Friends of the Fitzgerald River National Park assist in the upkeep and conservation of this remarkable national park. The group is involved in bringing people together to enjoy the park, in raising awareness and understanding of the ecology of the Park and threats to it, and in scientific research. To date the group has conducted fauna and flora surveys of the Park, biological surveys of the rivers, a fire symposium, production of maps, interpretive information leaflets and signage, and leading a campaign to avoid further Phytophthora cinnamomi introductions into the Park.
Friends of the Porongurup Range
The Friends of the Porongurup Range is a volunteer organisation of active and dynamic members who share a common interest in protecting the Porongurup National Park and surrounding area by assisting in its upkeep and conservation.
The 511 hectare (1260 acres) Twin Creeks Community Conservation Reserve was purchased by the Friends of the Porongurup Range in 2004 to preserve and protect the remnant vegetation which contains a rich diversity of plant species.
Greening Australia
Greening Australia is a national organisation that "engage(s) the community in vegetation management to protect and restore the health, diversity and productivity of our unique Australian landscapes". In Gondwana Link, Greening Australia's focus is on the Fitz-Stirling region where the aim is to drive large scale, enduring change in the landscape by combining approaches such as land acquisition and restoration (e.g. Yarrabee and Peniup in partnership with Bush Heritage Australia), partnerships with local landholders and Noongar communities (e.g. Nowanup), revegetation and new enterprises such as carbon-funded revegetation and sandalwood.
Green Skills
Green Skills has been working since 1989 on "promoting and demonstrating sustainability in action through creation of employment opportunities and the provision of training, research and on-the-ground projects". In Gondwana Link, Green Skills is working to create linkages between the Forest and the Stirling Range, has developed the Balijup Fauna Sanctuary, restoring wetlands through the Living Lakes of Gondwana project and encouraging art and environment connections through a range of projects.
The Wilderness Society
The Wilderness Society (TWS) is a national, community-based, environmental advocacy organisation whose purpose is to protect, promote and restore wilderness and natural processes across Australia for the survival and ongoing evolution of life on Earth. TWS works through public education and empowerment, advocacy and negotiation, and desk and field research. In Gondwana Link, TWS was instrumental in the conservation of the southwest karri and jarrah forests, and for many years have been campaigning for improved protection and management across the 16 million hectares of the Great Western Woodlands.
Wilson Inlet Catchment Committee
WICC is a non profit, community run corporation committed to promoting land use practices that protect our environments, natural and cultural heritage, biodiversity and agricultural resource base through education; the promotion and facilitation of sustainable landuse; capacity building; and recognising and rewarding best practice.
WICC has received funds from the State Natural Resource Management Office to assist landholder to implement the Lindesay Link Conservation Action Plan.
Gillamii Centre
The Gillamii Centre, based in Cranbrook, works across the Frankland and Upper Pallinup catchments. It aims to improve understanding and adoption of sustainable land use through training, education and knowledge, encouraging and leading the efficient use of resources across the community while protecting and enhancing the natural environment. Gillamii have worked with another locally-based group, Green Skills, to lead the planning and implementation of activities in the Forests to Stirling zone of Gondwana Link.
Nature Conservation Margaret River
Nature Conservation was established in 2002 and is one of six natural resource management groups operating in the south west of Western Australia. Originally known as the Cape to Cape Catchments Group, its activities evolved over time from a specific focus on the health of rivers and creeks to encompass the protection of all biodiversity values in the Margaret River region.
In 2010, the group began working closely with Gondwana Link to produce a Conservation Action Plan for the Margaret River area and to start building Gondwana Link from the western end.
Oyster Harbour Catchment Group
The Oyster Harbour Catchment Group Inc. is the key community Natural Resource Management (NRM) group in the Oyster Harbour Catchment area. The group formed in 1992 and consists of concerned farmers, community members and NRM professionals. The group tackles a variety of projects from the fencing of waterways and remnant vegetation, establishing perennial pastures, bush rehabilitation, controlling invasive species and community capacity building.
Pew Environment Group
The Pew Environment Group is a global environmental advocacy organisation that actively promotes strong conservation policies. Pew applies a range of tools in pursuit of practical, meaningful solutions—including applied science, public education, media and communications, and policy advocacy. In mid-2007, the Pew Environment Group began partnering with local and international organisations on The Wild Australia Program, to protect millions of hectares of the country's most important wilderness. One of the four areas of focus is the Great Western Woodlands.
The Nature Conservancy
The Nature Conservancy is a leading conservation organisation working in more than 30 countries to protect ecologically important land and water for nature and people. The Conservancy supports a number of large-scale conservation projects across Australia. The Conservancy's Australia program was critical in the establishment of Gondwana Link, providing early funding for coordination and property purchase and then a $1 million 'Spark Fund' grant for a wide range of programs. The Conservancy's team continue to provide strategic, business and conservation planning, particularly for work in the Great Western Woodlands. The Nature Conservancy has also provided support directly to a number of groups involved in Gondwana Link, including Bush Heritage Australia and Greening Australia, to assist with property purchases.
Threshold Environmental
Threshold Environmental Pty. Ltd. provides the full array of services associated with the restoration of native vegetation systems in Australia. Their goal is to return cleared, damaged and degraded land areas to a renewed state of ecological health and biological diversity. They design innovative, site specific ecological restoration treatments which aim to make best use of natural processes. Threshold and their principal Justin Jonson have been behind many of the large restoration programs in Gondwana Link, particularly in Fitz-Stirling and Ravensthorpe sections of the Link.

Client: Private Residential
Location: Perry Lakes, WA
Jurisdiction: Town of Cambridge
Date commenced: February 2014
Date completed: June 2016
Gross floor area: 1170sqm
Role: Director
Architect: maarch*
Built on a triangular site on the former site of the Perry Lakes Common- wealth Games Stadium (1962) this project embraces the International Style historical context of Floreat whilst creating maximal amenity from a highly constrained lot. The architectural solution integrates a complex pro- gramme, considers the specifics of site and the spatial forms speak to the Sicilian heritage of the client. Voids and recesses that allow light to penetrate deep into the plan then perforate the subsequent mass. The form is manipulated using a strategy of layering and pathways. This combination of balconies, terraces, extended walls and louvres are cleverly tied together with elements that manipulate the perceived scale of the project.
maarch* navigated through a multi-layered approval process with a considered and thorough design for what was a three storey mass over considerable height changes from front to back of the site and across. Darker box elements are layered behind the vertical frame of the townhouses that in itself ties in with the horizontal elements of the corner house to give a contiguous form with a civic quality. The result is a lightness of form that belies the intensity of programme. A laneway services garages at the back of the site, where the building height is three storeys. At the front (Humanity Avenue) is the face to the street, where a three level facade is permitted. The intensive programme was achieved through a clever arrangement that still managed to fall within height and setback requirements. Only minor points of negotiation were required allowing a smooth and timely approval.

If your video was created in an older theme, it will have a 4:3 aspect ratio. The current platform uses a 16:9 aspect ratio. All older videos will be bordered by black bars, and this is normal.
- Start a video using any theme with a native 16:9 aspect ratio, such as Business Friendly.
- Before adding any content to the first scene, switch to a theme that uses a native 4:3 aspect ratio.
- Complete your video.
The resulting video will not have black bars.
Note: This work-around can only be used for the creation of new videos. It does not work with videos that have already been created and saved. However, it is possible to save a video created in an older theme as a Starter, then add it to a video created using the work-around above. The resulting video will not have black bars. Please note that audio information is not stored with Starters.

Here are the results of our calibration of the picture for our review of the Sony XBR65X930C. You can apply these settings for every usage (movies, TV shows, sports). For gaming, though, start with game mode and then copy the rest of the settings. This will give you lower input lag.
You can increase 'Brightness' as much as you want, depending on the amount of light in your room. It won't mess with the calibration. It is the equivalent of the 'Backlight' setting on other TVs.
'Black Level' is the equivalent of 'Brightness' for other TVs. 'Auto Local Dimming' and 'X-tended Dynamic Range' are the local dimming and HDR features respectively. See the Q&A of our review of the Sony XBR-65X930C for more details.
For this tab, everything is good by default under Movie mode. You might want to turn on 'Digital noise reduction' though for DVDs and other lower resolution content.
These settings control how the motion looks on the Sony X930C. See the Q&A of our full review for pictures of different values. In short, if you like the soap opera effect, set 'Motionflow' to smooth. 'Motionflow' to 'True Cinema' is recommended for movies if you don't want that effect. It also gets rid of judder.
The 'Color space' setting controls the color gamut. We calibrated for Rec.709, but if you want the wider gamut, set it to 'BT.2020' instead.

Freedom Runner
Nader was the only athlete from the Gaza Strip in Beijing | Photo credit: Tom Spender
As an Olympic standard competitor, he believes that he would have given the Irish athletes a run for their money. Shane O'Connor chats to the Nadar al-Masri.
Nader has been invited to compete all over the world but most of the time the Israeli and Egyptian imposed blockade has prevented him from exiting, along with the other 1.7 million Palestinians living in the Gaza strip.
'Palestine's Hero makes History in Dublin', was the headline that we were hoping for this autumn, but it wasn't to be. Nader al-Masri, a 33-year-old athlete was yet again denied permission to leave the world's largest open-air prison, Gaza. As an Olympic standard competitor, he believes that he would have given the Irish athletes a run for their money.
Nader has been invited to compete all over the world but is consistently prevented from leaving the Gaza strip due to the Israeli and Egyptian imposed blockade.
"It has always been my dream to come to Ireland and to run in front of a large crowd of people and show the world that we too have special talents in Palestine and we have dreams and ambitions apart from surviving the bombings and the daily harassment that exists here.
I met with the so called 'Palestinian Gabrselassie' in Gaza earlier this year when I travelled to Gaza to meet with NGO's, civil society groups, academics and more impressively for me, young sports people themselves. We were invited by the UN agency, UNWRA, to take part in the Gaza Marathon as part of an effort to raise much needed funds for a summer sports project that tries to reach out to 250,000 children every year. Irishman John Ging set up 'the summer of fun' in 2009 when he was head of UNWRA and so we were warmly greeted by locals.
Our Olympian guide who hoisted the Palestinian flag in the Beijing Olympics in 2008 showed us around the strip. It quickly became apparent just how challenging it is for the people of Gaza to participate in any type of sport, something that we almost take for granted in Ireland. The national football & athletics stadium was destroyed by Israeli fighter jets in 2012. We watched Nader and a team of 26 young runners prepare for a race they hoped to compete in for the first time in Bethlehem, which is just 51.1 miles from Gaza. Their training looked tough but not as tough as the bigger obstacle that lay ahead of them, getting through the Israeli checkpoint which isolates them from the rest of Palestine. All 26 athletes were refused permission to run. Trying to lift his spirits, we suggested Dublin as a new goal and Nader bit.
I believe that sport should be an activity used to move beyond and break down borders, to reduce isolation and act as an outlet for those who are struggling. I think that we need more sporting role models to speak out on behalf of those inside the sporting world and outside of it who are voiceless.
Nader's journey of hope, resilience and sporting ambitions remains on course as far as he is concerned, he pledges to try again in 2014 to come to Ireland and compete in either the Cork or Belfast Marathon and if he is still denied the right to travel, he will set his target on Dublin again next October.
I admire his positive attitude greatly and see him clearly as a role model for all young people living through conflict. He is certainly under pressure to give up his sporting dreams from a number of angles but somehow I don't think he has this in mind. It is my hope that with the assistance of Irish development organisations and sporting bodies like Soccer Against Racism Ireland, that Nader will come to Ireland in the near future to do what any other athlete of his ability and ambition should be allowed to do.
