The revolution has begun declares theatre director and former Bidwill resident Kaz Therese.
Here, a recently formed group of young Aboriginal dancers performed at Bidwill's Funpark, directed by Kaz, as part of January's Sydney Festival. The local energy and enthusiasm released by the event run entirely counter to the suggestion by Minister for Family and Community Services that social dysfunction is a creation of the community itself. Government concerns for local public housing tenants are contradicted by evidence from residents that recent reductions in bus services have further limited access to services and that the shopping centre leaseholder may be under no obligation to provide the shops and services that existed more than a decade ago. Life is undoubtedly difficult, but locals are determined to change that.

Netflix shares closed lower in the US Friday, but are currently poised to open higher Monday amid reports the online streaming service is said to be considering a movie theatre deal to help support its growing original film output.
The news follows Netflix' decision to withdraw from the Cannes Film Festival in light of the new rule that only films with a cinema release in France were eligible for prizes.
Netflix shares ended the US Friday session 1.48% lower at $327.77. However, the stock is in the green in in pre-market trading.
Netflix considers movie theatre deal
An LA Times article, citing sources, reported that Netflix had been in talks with Landmark Theatres over a deal. However, it's thought the price was considered too high by the streaming service.
No official comment on the possibility of entering the movie theatre industry has been made by Netflix. However, considering the firm's original series and film-making ambitions, it's likely that such a step could be a good decision for the business.
That's because at the moment, Netflix releases its films on its own streaming platform on the same day a new film might show at a cinema. And that's not something many movie theatres are willing to sign up for.
Fair recognition
In an interview with Variety on the company's decision to pull out of Cannes, Netflix chief content officer Ted Sarandos said of the Cannes Film Festival situation, that the company wanted fair treatment for its filmmakers.
"We want our films to be on fair ground with every other filmmaker," Sarandos said. "There's a risk in us going in this way and having our films and filmmakers treated disrespectfully at the festival. They've set the tone. I don't think it would be good for us to be there."
Prior to the new Cannes Film Festival rule and Netflix decision to withdraw, Netflix original film "Mudbound" received four Oscar nominations. Although none of them were for the coveted Best Picture award.

Private World(s): Gender and Informal Learning of Adults
2015 - 202 pages
ISBN Paperback: 9789462099692 ($ 54.00)
Subject: Adult Education, Open Access Books, Gender Studies
Number 3 of the series: Research on the Education and Learning of Adults
Open Access Ebook
"A very rich collection of strong papers ... the book contains a huge amount of wealth for all educators concerned with gender ... I strongly recommend this book to all those concerned with adult learning -- and also to those concerned with gender roles in schooling and further/higher education."-- International Review of Education, May 2016
This book is the third production from the ESREA Gender network and, once more, an opportunity to let the readers discover, or to know more, for a better understanding of questions related to gender and adult learning. It shows how researchers can be deeply involved in this specific field of adult education. The notion of informal learning has already been treated as a chapter in the 2003s book, but it becomes central and relevant in this new book considering the growing complexity of our society.
The editors insist in their title on "private world(s)" but the content of the book proves that informal learning processes, aside the self, are combined with contextual opportunities, which have been chosen or not. Their introduction remains what has to be known about the concepts of gender and informal learning. The contributors enlighten the debate with their geographical diversities all over Europe, but also with their theoretical systems of reference and the social contexts that have been analysed.
With the first part of this book, entitled "private spheres", it is a sum of painful gendered discriminations and injustices which are presented and analysed. We can't escape to the emotions it produces especially with the soldiers after the war and the men's breath cancer: both researches related to men and the specificity of their suffering. This is an interesting and quite new opportunity to question gender.
In the second part related to "minorities and activism", we discover groups who learn through their organised fights against discriminations. Emotions let place to a positive energy when we discover the strategies that feminists, or migrants or also retired men find to question the society in which they live. The authors show us not only what is learned by such communities, but also what their environment can learn from them.
The last part of the book drives us to different "contexts of informal learning", mostly related to opportunities and obstacles in education and work situations. Community training, social work studies, scientist's work and management school are the contexts chosen to clarify where the stereotypes and the discriminations along the lifespan for women are. From East to West and North to South of Europe, it seems once more that the debate presents a lot of similarities.
This book can be considered as original in its area and useful, mostly because it presents a mixture of sadness and hope within gendered learning processes. In this book, it seems that men take their place in the gender debate and its analysis with a new vision of the male realities. More than anything else, this book is a reminder of what has to be done in our society, specifically in adult education, to imagine and to create better trails, conditions and issues to respect the learners, women as well as men.

Drunk drivers put themselves and everyone sharing the road with them in great danger. No matter how in control they might believe themselves to be, alcohol is severely detrimental to an individual's reactions, concentration and ability to reason. Unfortunately, when these drivers cause an accident, it is often other people that pay the price.
If you are involved in an accident with a drunk driver, you could face serious injury, or even be left in need of permanent care. This in turn can land you with hefty medical bills and leave you wondering how you will support your family. Even a minor accident can be deeply distressing and have a lasting effect on all concerned.
In Kentucky, the penalties for a first drunk driving offense can include a license suspension of as little as 30 days. This means that a dangerous driver could be back on the road within one month. As is explained here, the penalties increase for repeat offenses, with a minimum suspension period of two years for a third offense. However, by then, two more incidents have occurred during which others were put at risk.
It is vital to report these incidents and to make it clear to authorities if you have been injured. This can elevate the charges against the responsible party to include aggravated DUI. This can carry a heftier penalty and serve as a greater deterrent from a repeat offense. Furthermore, by declaring your injury, you may also be able to claim compensation. An attorney can advise you about your options.

Should parents arrange dates for their children?
HailChina! (Australia)
My father asked a girl on a date for me once and I had no intention of asking her out. She said yes and I took her to a concert. She was really nice but not my soul mate or anything. I was surprised and slightly annoyed that my father asked this girl out for me, but since she turned out to be pretty nice, I am kind of glad.

October 12, 2012 was the day Felix Baumgartner managed to do the impossible. Now see the jump as he did and experience it from his point of view. The world was awestruck as Baumgartner performed the death-defying stunt and wondered how it would have felt to be in his shoes. Though much is still left to the imagination, the new video featuring a first person view of Baumgartner performing the jump gives a glimpse of what it felt like to make the dangerous descent.
The Austrian daredevil made headlines as he accomplished a near-impossible feat and claimed several records to his name. His jump that included a free fall of an astounding 39 km/29 mil was enough to impress anyone, but that was not the only accomplishment Baumgartner achieved. He became the first ever person to break the sound barrier without any form of mechanical or vehicular support. Quite simply, he was falling at a speed which was faster than even the speed of sound. The recorded speed with which he fell was approximately 843 miles per hour, 1.25 times faster than the speed of sound. Simply watching him fall was an exciting experience, but being able to watch it again from Baumgartner's point of view just made it all the more exhilarating.
It seems that ever since time began, man has been trying to prove that no task is too difficult and that the only restraint that holds him back is his own lack of determination. Whenever an opportunity to push the limits of human capability presents itself, there are always those who fearlessly set out to make it happen. Often examples of daring individuals performing dangerous endeavors can be seen. Someone is always trying to do the unthinkable and break free from the confines of human limitation. Be it walking between tall buildings on a tightrope or hanging from the wings of a plane several feet in the air, each is a spectacle to marvel at. Viewers are left flabbergasted as they attempt to imagine what it must really feel like to be part of such an exploit. It is not the same to simply watch someone do it but to be able to see what the dauntless see is a sensation of its own. The stunt performed by Baumgartner might no longer be a fresh memory, but to see the entire stunt from a different perspective brings back the same excitement as when it was first seen. For some, it might have even felt like actually being present when it was attempted.
Rightfully nicknamed "Fearless Felix", Baumgartner has ensured that he be always remembered for his fearless escapades and for breaking the barriers of human possibility. Watching, or better yet, reliving the entire jump from his perspective, the world is left craving for more. Though Baumgartner has managed to leave his mark on the world, expectations of him are higher than ever before. As everyone eagerly waits for the next big thing they are left wondering, what will he do next?

What It's Like Inside A Pokéball?
by INHIDEOUT
Have you ever wondered what it is like inside a Pokéball? We all have, and our imaginations might be very similar with the snow globes created by Texas-based artist Lauren dubbed The Vintage Realm. These Pokéball terrariums give us an "insight" to what our favourite Pokémons are doing when they are caught inside Pokéballs. Each Pokéball terrarium is created with a different environment specifically made for the different type of Pokémon. For those who are interested in owning one of these Pokéball terrariums, you could contact them at their official webstore but as Lauren says, "Sorry if they are all sold out – I can't keep up with the demand. I sell out instantly right after uploading them…" You could try your luck, but don't expect to catch them all.

Ultrasonic cleaning uses sound waves passed at very high frequency through liquid cleaners, which can be alkaline, acid, or even organic solvents. The passage of ultrasonic waves through the liquid medium creates tiny gas bubble, which provide a vigorous scrubbing action on the parts being cleaned. Although the mechanism of this action is not completely understood, it yields very effective cleaning.
It is ideal for lightly soiled work with intricate shapes, surfaces, and cavities that may not be easily cleaned by spray or traditional immersion techniques. Highest degrees of cleanliness can be achieved.
The components of a basic ultrasonic system are the cleaning tank, ultrasonic transducers, and a power supply (generator). A disadvantage of ultrasonic cleaning process is the high capital cost of the power supplies and transducers that comprise the system.
Megasonic cleaning uses high-frequency acoustic energy produced by transducers to generate pressure waves in a liquid. It is a higher frequency version (700-1,000 kHz) of acoustic cleaning than ultrasonics (20-40 kHz). An important difference between the two methods is that there is no significant cavitation in the megasonic range. This significantly reduces the likelihood of surface damage. Parts that are damaged by ultrasonic energy might be cleaned without damage in a megasonic bath using the same solutions.
This technique is effective for removing submicron particles from silicon wafers without damage. Removal of other contaminants depends on the solutions in the tank. Megasonic agitation will increase the removal of other contaminants but is not as aggressive as ultrasonics.

2000s Jewellery
A selection of Jewellery made in the 2000s. It continues to evolve. Some things come about from commissions or an exhibition opportunity, and it's always the problem solving that keeps it going.
Some of the pieces here are a bit satirical depending on where the ideas come from. It's a worry sometimes that developing an art form lets you see the world in a particular way. You learn to stand back to judge the work, and these skills of observation show the world in new ways. One of the things that fascinates me about art is the way people develop and use it to influence others, and this brings insights into how we read art objects and respond to them, which is vital understanding for making it.
I'm sad that weaker eyesight and other age related changes mean I can't make so much on this tiny scale, because I love the way of working so close to me (compared with larger sculpture which is "over there" somewhere). But it's nice to put this site together and realise that maybe I did make a few things that aren't too bad.

Discussion in 'Politics' started by jimmy g, Feb 29, 2016.
Here's what I'm talking about: Austin Peterson, Libertarian, Grassroots candidate, running for US Prez!!! Called the Right Brain of Judge Andrew Napolitano. Heir to the Ron Paul Libertarian Legacy.
Congrats,driver on finding you a candidate..
Thank You! Now Zeus can rest.
Nope. I'm just realistic. I think that you are guessing (or praying) that Trump lives up to the hype and rhetoric. The Obama lovers wouldn't listen to any descent either, they bought in to all of it, hook, line, and sinker.
So far, we have brought up several specific issues to discuss with Trump, and the only responses that we get back from you guys are nowhere near the actually issue......more like just an emotional response.
If/when Trump hears comments and reasons why people won't get behind him, maybe he will lean further to the right with his policies. You guys that back him 100% and show no disagreements with his policies, only convince him that his centrist/progressive/populist stance is acceptable to you, which could even convince him that he can go further to the LEFT, since in the past, that is where he has been politically.
Trump lover response that is on the way..............
"You will be responsible for us getting a President Hillary".
But lets not talk about the above mentioned flip-flops and inconsistencies.
Those listed are some great talking points, but when you break them down and require the details of how he is going to fix these issues.......he is more like an empty suit. His handlers have given him some great talking points, but it's the details where he comes up short.
What I find interesting about us debating this Trump candidacy is that for years on here, we have claimed that we needed someone to go back to the constitution, and be heavily into the conservative values.........that is, until Trump came along. Now, I guess that neither issue is important to some of you guys.
He mentions neither topic consistently.........that is my concern with him.
Bs.... you of all people should know "play all sides until you close the deal".
There's your answer "Owner !"
I see jimmy jumps on the first guy Glenn Beck threw in his listeners ears. Rush heard about it and at least talked sense......the 3rd party candidate will ensure a Hillary victory. Heard him tell a caller that. Sounds like Rush might lean Trump. He said every election these third parties come out the Dems win.
This year will be no different if done by that libertarian or Romney or whoever said Rush.
Which "conservative values" are we talking about here?
Spending trillions on foreign wars pretending we're leaders whils we never win, our troops are not taken care of after used and abused?
Leading the world in business and trade when reality says that our trade deficit is in hundreds of billions and our national debt is $20 trillion?
Honesty might be a conservative value needing a lot more work if we are gonna pretend we should lead.
Who would really think i it sane to follow tgese make believe leaders?Not me.
He is Wrong this time...just like every other radio bloveator. Trump will bring Dems/Rep. Voters together. ... "there ALL DEAD before they start.
Donald will be very good for the Country. .. everything he touches turns to gold, even his ex-wives did him...lol.
I believe in Christian rights under our Godly Constitution.... No Rights under Islamic fAith
Under The Constitution "time to change things for the better..ascemalate or LEAVE"
We can't give our religious freedoms to an evil caulk of mUslims. Ted Cruz can't do that "rightly so"..... But We need that guy today, and that jerk is my Man The Don....lol
I do not listen to any of the radio talk show hosts every day, but I do hear them often. (even though I often disagree with them, I do listen.) Beck refuses to vote for Trump, and I have never heard him say that he will.
Rush, Hannity, and Mark Levin have ALL said that they will vote for Trump, but they often say that he needs to lean further to the right on a few of his policies. Full disclosure though: Trump was NOT Mark Levin's first choice {Cruz}, but he also knows that a third party candidate will ensure a Shillary victory, so he is now supporting Trump because he knows the consequences for our country with a President Shillary.........and it ain't good.
I think its beyond foolishness to think that because Trump runs a successful real estate company and owns a lot of big buildings that makes him presidential material .Yeah he does say something's that catch your interest but how many times has he backed peddled .He makes deals with his business transactions but that's far from running the whole United States . I didn't like Cruz but he did say what a lot of commonsense people think and that is Trumps a master con man .

Love jotform news features.
and I tried to put 3 videos in same row.
I know we can shrink the fields as well as the video widget,
but when I tried to move the 2nd and 3rd video in the same the row, it won't allow me.
Can anyone help?
any advice pleasePage URL:
- JotForm SupportWelvinAnswered on February 08, 2014 at 01:22 PM
You seem to be using our Free Text HTML field which I think, fixes the issue. Basically, if you are using the widget, all you need to do is to change your form width until the third video will move up on the same line.
If you can give us a link that contains the widget, let us know so we'll check it and help you do it.
- EMYEsteticaAnswered on February 08, 2014 at 05:54 PM
Yes it free for the moment as I am creating it for my customer.
It will be up to him later whether to upgrade for the premium version.
For the moment i am creating the forms on my account and later transfer it to theirs.
I have tried as what you ave advise by increasing the width of the form from the preferences area, however it affected the widget field too.
2nd, is it possible to have each of the Text lable alignment set to Centre on top ofthe video?
Thank you in advance.
Your guide and support is much appreciated.
- JotForm SupportjonathanAnswered on February 08, 2014 at 10:04 PM
Hi Emi,
I checked your form http://form.jotform.me/form/40383042799460 and could see that you have seem to figured it out already.
To center-align the label names on top, inject a CSS code like this
text-align: center;
Use this guide -How-to-Inject-Custom-CSS-Codes
Inform us if you need further assitance.
- EMYEsteticaAnswered on February 08, 2014 at 10:10 PM
Oh wow...
I didn't realize that since all this while I figured that jotform works like WYISWYG.
Thanks guys. Your awesome.
- EMYEsteticaAnswered on February 09, 2014 at 04:57 AM
I have inject the CSS Code, but it seems nothing happen.
Another question on the Youtube Widget field.
The Video margin for each field took a lot ofspace and caused each video to have so much gap.
It looks aweful.
How do I decreased the margin or take out the margin space completely?
- JotForm SupportEltonCrisAnswered on February 09, 2014 at 06:59 AM
Injecting the following CSS codes will move each video closer to each other.
.form-line {
padding-left: 2px !important;
padding-right: 2px !important;
2px padding will output like this:
Feel free to change the 2px value to your preference if you'd like to reduce it's gap since you are currently using "Nova" theme which column space has 36px left & right paddings. You can also the default theme (Form Style > Themes > select Default) if you'd like to use browser's default theme.
- EMYEsteticaAnswered on February 09, 2014 at 07:04 AM
Another solved problem.
Thanks guys.. Jotform team always exceed my expectation.

Humans are producing more waste than ever before. According to research by the World Bank, the world generates 3.5 million tonnes of solid waste a day, ten times the amount of a century ago. Rising population numbers and increasing economic prosperity fuel the growth, and as countries become richer, the composition of their waste changes to include more packaging, electronic components and broken appliances, and less organic matter. Landfills and waste dumps are filling up, and the World Economic Forum reports that by 2050 there will be so much plastic floating in the world's oceans that it will outweigh the fish. A documentation of waste management systems in metropolises across the world investigates how different societies manage—or mismanage—their waste.

About the photographer
Kadir van Lohuizen
Kadir van Lohuizen started to work as a professional freelance photojournalist in 1988 covering the Intifada.
Kadir van Lohuizen started to work as a professional freelance photojournalist in 1988 covering the Intifada.
In the following years he worked in many conflict areas in Africa, such as Angola, Sierra Leone, Mozambique, Liberia and the DR of Congo. From 1990 to 1994 he covered the transition in South Africa from apartheid to democracy.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Kadir covered social issues in different corners of the former empire. In 1997 he embarked on a big project to travel along the seven rivers of the world, from source to mouth, covering daily life along these lifelines. The project resulted in the book 'Rivers' and 'Aderen' (Mets & Schilt).
Kadir has received numerous prizes and awards in photojournalism. In 2000 and 2002 Kadir was a jury member of the World Press Photo contest and is currently on the supervisory board of the World Press Photo foundation.
In 2004 he went back to Angola, Sierra Leone and the DR of Congo to portray the diamond industry, following the diamonds from the mines to the consumer markets in the western world. The resulting exhibitions were shown in Europe and the USA, and also in the mining areas of Congo, Angola and Sierra Leone. The photo book 'Diamond Matters, the diamond industry' was published by Mets & Schilt (Holland), Dewi Lewis (UK) and Umbrage editions (USA) and awarded the prestigious Dutch Dick Scherpenzeel Prize for best reporting on the developing world. The project was also recognized with a World Press Photo Award.
In that same year, Kadir initiated a photo project together with Stanley Greene and six other photographers on the issue of violence against women around the world.
Following hurricane Katrina he made several trips to the USA to document the aftermath of the storm. In the summer of 2010, to mark the fifth commemoration of Hurricane Katrina, Kadir exhibited images of Katrina's devastation and the aftermath in a truck-exhibition that drove from Houston to New Orleans, a project in collaboration with Stanley Greene.
From 2011 to 2012, Kadir created Via PanAm; a visual investigation on migration in the Americas. He spent 12 months travelling along the Pan American Highway from Terra del Fuego in Patagonia to Deadhorse in Northern Alaska. Originally made as an interactive application for the iPad, Via PanAm was also made into a traveling interactive multimedia based exhibition, installation and a book.
With the project 'Where will we go', Kadir looked at the global consequences of rising sea levels caused by climate change. The project is designed to highlight both the immense complexities associated with in-island and inter-island/country movement, and the human rights implications involved in such displacements.
Kadir is a frequent lecturer and photography teacher and is based in Amsterdam.

Don't judge a book by its cover, this proverb suits as an best example for these poisonous plants, where the herbs, shrubs, trees , vegetables and vines are poisonous under certain condition. They provide shade, colorful flowers , or food but parts of the plants (sap, leaves, seed, flowers, stems) may also contain toxic compounds. Some may cause irritation of skin or mouth and cause stomach upset, while others can cause vomiting and diarrhea. Some of the most poisonous plants also can be source of valuable pharmaceuticals. For example: Digitalis, derived from the leaves and seeds of foxglove, was originally used to strengthen the heart of ill person. Toxicity in plants varies in different concentration, some plants concentrate toxic in seeds but not the leaves. In others unripe fruit may be toxic but not the ripened fruit.

Feed The Others
by Alistair Tamlit
Urban Gardening, or Urban Agriculture, has in the last few years become something of a trendy topic within a variety of social circles. For young and privileged hipster types it could be seen as a fashionable pastime. For academics and those concerned about food security, Urban Gardening is often seen as a solution to the recent global food crises and a way to improve the resilience of cities to such shocks, which are likely to become increasingly frequent in the face of climate change. In addition, Urban Gardening offers a way to reconnect to our natural surroundings and take back some personal control in our predominantly corporate food system.
Recently I have been researching agriculture within Cape Town and whether it offers any alternatives to neoliberal capitalist development: the ideology that dominates South Africa and much of the world today. During my research I became somewhat disheartened to find that many of the agricultural projects here are led by non-governmental organisations (NGOs). The result of this is that much of the agriculture taking place within Cape Town is characterised by a top-down approach, with organisations thinking mostly inside the box and sometimes seeming to blame the victim by suggesting that poverty comes from a lack of will or a bad "mindset".
Over time however I began to see more of the complexities of the situation and the alternative viewpoints around agriculture in Cape Town. The final interview of my research was with Tysia Nabanye, which means "feed the others" in Xhosa. The Tysia Nabanye project describes itself as a "a comprehensive working model of sustainable farming and design for the local community." Tysia Nabanye is tucked away on the slopes of Signal Hill and is part of an almost 20-year-old squatted community. Given the painfully slow progress of land reform in South Africa, this project could be considered part of a movement to do "land reform from below" by using occupations as a strategy. The project has only been in existence since September 2013, but when I visited in February it was flourishing with a wide range of crops and aesthetically beautiful; all of which has been achieved with virtually no support. For me this was one of the most inspiring projects I came across in Cape Town and it gave me a lot of hope about the possibilities linked to Urban Agriculture. In hoping to spread some of this inspiration, here is part of the interview I conducted with Mzukisi, Vuyolwethu, Unathi and Masixole from Tysia Nabanye.
So this is a Permaculture project, what does Permaculture mean?
Permaculture is a design strategy that mimics nature into the garden and it uses natural resources, convenient technology, people and animals and plants in order to create and enhance the ecosystem.
What's the most important aspect of this project?
We want to take initiative, work with the land, provide food for ourselves and inspire other young people to do the same.
What visions do you have for this project in the future?
We would like to have like fruit trees and like abundance in terms of food and just to enhance this place. Like getting rid of alien plants and plant more indigenous kind of trees and shrubs, that are suited for this environment. And hopefully get the rest of the community members who are also squatting here to be involved in the future hopefully.
Are the other residents here interested so far?
They like it. They are inspired because after we've started this some of them have started their own gardens but I suppose they are busy with their own lives. They don't really have the time to be involved like we are, but they are liking it, they are interested and they have been inspired by it.
What's the political situation like in agriculture right now?
At the moment they are trying to support some subsistence farmers but it's more focused on big industrial farming, which supports the idea that food is a commodity, when it should be the other way around. Every community should have gardens so that they don't depend on buying food so that they can eat.
What do you think the City Of Cape Town has as a focus in terms of development?
Their focus of development is based on capitalism I can say, but there are small moves into like eco stuff, like the green movement and but it's kind of slow, like everything is focused on like big corporate companies. And the infrastructure is mostly not friendly for poorer people it's always up-market.
What do you think the main problems are for people who want to do farming?
The main problem is land; acquiring land and getting like start up capital. Also, the lack of inspiration because, although it's now becoming popular and gardening is a cool thing to do, it's still in it's infancy.
And what are the main problems you face?
The main problem is that we don't own the land. We're sort of here illegally. The other problem would be that we are not being funded at the moment. We've sort of become resourceful; we use whatever we have.
What role do you think smallholder farmers have in the development of Cape Town?
I think it would be to inspire the people you know to start these initiatives, because we have a big problem of poverty, so if people start planting their own food, they could generate income and they could also feed themselves. If the small farmers who are doing it can be models of that working, other people will see that this thing works, and they can get inspired.
Do you think there are enough interventions from NGOs to fight poverty?
They are trying to an extent yes, but not on a big scale. I think the challenge is what you said earlier; that this kind of development is focused on capital. I think that's also one of the big challenges.
So, what do you think, instead of capitalism, is the alternative we need to look for?
Well to be more social, because if we are social then we can reduce poverty because people would start these initiatives and start bartering, trading and sharing, you know, and sustaining themselves. And you know when you hungry you can't even think properly; you do foolish things. At least if you can have something to eat then you can start thinking better.
Is there anything else you'd like to add?
With the farm we would like more exposure with people. We have a Facebook page and a website, but it's still in the process of being built.
So you want people to know about it and come see the project?
To come see the project and we would like support as well in terms of resources and money if possibly but mostly resources to take it further. And in Cape Town, as I was saying, I would like to see the small farmers and the social groups getting bigger and interacting together and just making it beautiful.
The Tysia Nabanye farm can be found on Erf 81, Military Road, their facebook page is HERE, where you can find regular updates. Be sure to visit and support these guys in what ever way you can.

It was the winter of1995 I remember. It was about 11 o' clock and I felt extemly tired so I went to bed. :-/
That night, I felt a rattling noise from the bookase witch made me wake up ???. Then I saw a hand coming out of the bookase. But the hand had no flesh,only...bone.
I was terified and turned my bed light on, but the rest came out reavaling a white skeleton :o
I jumped out of bed to turn the main light switch. and then, it vanished.
You may call me crazy if you want, but it is true.

"Who is that man Grandma?". She told me it was my Grandpa. I never told her that I saw him the night before. I only told my parents and my sister. I know that he was just saying goodbye to me. I have had something knock on my bedroom door and the floor. This happened there as well when I was around10 or 12. I now believe I live in a haunted house. Although these spirits are nice so far. My home is only 3 years old, but it is built on what used to ba an Indian reservation and a wagon trail used to run through here. I was the first to have an experiance. My husband works nights and we didn't have a bed yet so we slept on our sofa bed. I was just falling asleep when I was pushed from by back. :-/
My husband had the next experiance.I was just finishing cooking dinner. My husband was taking a shower. I just sat down to watch T.V. and wait for him to get out when I heard him say "Okay". I went to ask him who he was talking to, and he said " You came in here and told me dinner was ready, so I said okay" I told him I never came in the bathroom and I never said anything, although dinner was ready. He said the voice was in the bathroom with him and it sounded just like me. He was freaked out by that for a while, I thought it was cool!
My Dad has witnessed my toys moved around in the guest room. He has heard movement in the closet and saw the tip of one of my pillows move back and forth. He was also hit in the shoulder one night after I went to bed. :o
My front door has been unlocked after I locked it at night. It has also been found cracked oped at night after I locked it. ???
Our dogs stare at things that aren't there. :-/
I have asked them to stop unlocking the front door and so far they have
This is really cool for me because I am going to be a parapsychologist in about 1 to 2 years.
Hope you enjoyed my story ! E- Mail me if you like.

I was inside my house reading a book when suddely I looked ot of the window and I saw from some distance
somewhere near the villige church some very weird mist.
How did I know it was not the lights of the church? well for one reason the church was {and still is!} not working, and second, do you expect a church having it's lights on at 12:00 in the night while it is not working? ???
Anyway, the mist came slowly towards my hose when suddenly...It vanished! :o.
That is my story.
Sincerly to all,

Anzac Treasures
Peter Pedersen; Brendan Nelson (Foreword by); Ben Roberts-Smith (Foreword by)
This landmark publication commemorates the centenary of World War I's Gallipoli campaign, April 25, 1915, toJanuary 9, 1916. This book approaches the subject of Gallipoli not only from a military perspective, but also in terms of its social impact, and its role in commemoration and nation building. It does so through the Memorial's immensely rich and varied National Collection, which provides a tangible link to ANZAC and gives an unparalleled insight into its many facets. The legend and reality of ANZAC are encapsulated within the relics, photographs, artworks, documentary records, personal diaries, and letters that are displayed to dramatic and moving effect in a beautifully designed and produced commemorative volume."

Construction industry unionists are still banned from striking outside building sites managed by a major contractor in Brisbane as they await the outcome of a legal stoush with the Fair Work inspectorate.
Brisbane Federal Court Justice Berna Collier made the orders on Friday after a pre-existing injunction lapsed earlier this week.
She ordered the CFMEU, among other respondents, be restrained from organising or assisting "any stoppage or interference (of) paid work" at any building site controlled by Hutchinson Builders, and imposed time limits on when meetings could be convened and written notice for them.
However, she also stated conditions to enable exemptions to those rules, including if "bona fide" advice was being provided to a person working on a Hutchinson site in respect to occupational health and safety issues.
The court proceedings stem from Fair Work Building Commission allegations several CFMEU officials targeted nine of Hutchinson's sites and disrupted work 15 times since late August, including at the $360m Skytower project and the $120 million Newstead Central apartment block.

Private Post: Here's the deal
13 comments:
I read that comment and couldn't figure out what was up. I'm sorry about the loss of your friends but it doesn't sound like you need them. She's crazy not to want to learn from you...you can teach me if you want!!!!! Hope you have a great weekend!ReplyDelete
Wow, I've heard of stalkers but they are usually males obsessed with females. It seems you have a crazy lady who is threatened by you and really can't handle her emotions. I would go private too. Heck, I'd drink a lot of wine to forget all the craziness. And that other issue, well that's enough to try and erase our names from the face of the earth. When LeeAnn told me the general story, I couldn't sleep and I checked on the kids every half hour, no joke. Sick, horrible and I feel soooo sad for that poor woman and her family. Some people just really don't deserve life.ReplyDelete
hang in there-- bitches be crazy!ReplyDelete
Sorry you have all that drama in your life--you're better off to let it go and set a boundary.ReplyDelete
I also worry about the stalking issue. I tried to be private and vague about our location in postings at first when my blog was open, but year after year, visiting the same landmarks and such I realized it's just not possible.
I also made a friend from a stranger who read my blog, and at first it creeped me out. She recognized pictures of our community centre, and then she saw me and my daughter at the drug store one day, then she emailed me to tell me about it because she felt so weird. I started reading her blog, and then we started having play dates, but still it could have gone another way, kWIM?
UGH. I just don't understand why people are so dumb. You did the right thing. I probably should too.ReplyDelete
wow! some people just thrive on drama. it is just so not worth your time and energy nicole - you did the right thing for sure.ReplyDelete
the whole stalker/crazy people lurking out there ... watching, reading everything - creeps me out. i can't imagine what your friend and probaby many others are going through. i really should think about doing the same. you can never be too safe.
I totally undersand wanting to protect your precious family! As far as your ex friend...this year I've been trying to focus on cutting the bull shit out of my life...friends included! Sounds like you have many great friends and don't need people like that!ReplyDelete
There are always haters out there, I sure wouldn't take it personal...if not you they would be after someone else. It stinks you're the target but it sounds like you did the right thing by going private with your blogReplyDelete
What an awful situation! From experience I think you will see that friend wasn'tmuch of a friend anyway. You will miss things at first but the more you look back you will realize you were the one that was really keeping the friendship together.ReplyDelete
I don't blame you for gong private!! In fact I just went private too. I Think an ex sister-in-law was stalking my blog--I am so happy that I did it. I feel 100%better about it. GOOD FOR YOU! And so sorry that some women have to be sooooooooo weird/crazy!ReplyDelete
yikes!! Well, I am glad you took the action to go private vs. stop blogging all together! You win, crazies lose :)ReplyDelete
Let them find someone elses life to ruin!
TEAM NIC!!! ;)ReplyDelete

Kronos Foods, Inc., the premier maker of gyros, baklava and other Mediterranean specialty foods, (www.kronosfoodsinc.com) has announced its relationship with Fisher House Foundation (www.fisherhouse.org), a unique private-public partnership supporting America's military and their families in time of need.
Kronos will support military families on an on-going basis through a series of local events and national activities, beginning with a welcome home celebration luncheon at the newest Fisher House located on the Edward Hines Jr Veteran's Hospital campus on Tuesday, June 15, 2010, at 11 a.m. The families of our heroes will be the special guests at this luncheon, along with dignitaries and Hines representatives. Kronos will also support the Chicago Fisher House through the donation of outdoor furniture for the Chicago Fisher House gazebo, a small respite in the midst of a medical crisis, welcome home luncheons at new Fisher Houses across the country and promotions to raise awareness of the organization nationwide.
"The healing power of food and the importance of family meals and fellowship is what we know best at Kronos," said Michael Austin, chief executive officer of Kronos Foods. "By supporting this Fisher House in our local community with our food and our care, not only at the opening, but beyond, is our small way of saying thank you. On a regular basis, Kronos associates will bring prepared food for the families so that they can stay focused on their wounded or ill family member. Additionally, it will afford our associates the opportunity to become involved with an organization that is so important to so many."
Fisher House "comfort homes" are built on the grounds of major military and VA medical centers. These homes enable family members to be close to a loved one at the most stressful times ---during hospitalization for an unexpected illness, disease or injury. Annually, the Fisher House™ program serves more than 10,000 families, and have made available nearly three million days of lodging to family members since the program originated in 1990.
"Our relationship with Fisher House will help us provide for military families in need locally, and nationally through on-going military discounts at many restaurants serving Kronos products, as well during a nationwide promotion surrounding Veteran's Day in November 2010, enabling families all over America the chance to support Fisher House by purchasing Kronos Gyros," said Austin.
"Our new relationship with Kronos Foods will help to generate awareness for the Fisher House cause on both a local and national level, as well as support our ongoing initiatives—ensuring that military families get the support and care needed during their critical time of need," said Cindy Campbell, public affairs director for Fisher House.

About Fisher House
The Fisher House™ program is a unique private-public partnership that supports America's military in their time of need. Because members of the military and their families are stationed worldwide and must often travel great distances for specialized medical care, Fisher House™ Foundation donates "comfort homes," built on the grounds of major military and VA medical centers. These homes enable family members to be close to a loved one at the most stressful times - during the hospitalization for an unexpected illness, disease, or injury. There is at least one Fisher House™ at every major military medical center to assist families in need and to ensure that they are provided with the comforts of home in a supportive environment. Annually, the Fisher House™ program helps 12,000 families and has made more than three million days of lodging available to family members since it originated in 1990.

As if a WWE Studios horror film wasn't forgettable enough, I can't blame a single one of you if you've let BARRICADE escape your memory. After all, 17 months is a whole hell of a lot of time to wait for the first poster for the film, but here we are with exactly that. Apparently the PG-13 action/horror joint is due September 25th.
From director Andrew Currie and writer Michael Brent Collings:
BARRICADE centers on a psychiatrist, seeking to find normalcy after the sudden passing of his wife, who takes his two kids to a remote cabin for healing and bonding. Their joy soon turns to despair when the family is terrorized by unknown forces and the father will stop at nothing to save them from peril.
Eric McCormack, Jody Thompson, Conner Dwelly and Ryan Grantham all appear in the film.

The perennial problem that plagues anyone with a water feature is how to keep their pond water clear and clean. Water plants help tremendously when it comes to keeping the water clean and healthy. Photosynthesis removes the released carbon dioxide and reoxygenates the water with released oxygen. As long as you have only healthy water plants in your water feature, the environment can be easily maintained with minimal effort. However, if you have fish in your pond, the dynamics change dramatically. While water plants certainly help in maintaining a healthy pond, the addition of fish will necessitate using a filtration system–either mechanical or biological–to ensure clean, clear water. Pond water turnover rates and filter flow through rates become critical factors when using a filter. If the turnover and flow through rates are too low, the pond's healthy environment will rapidly degrade.
Determine your water feature's volume by calculating the area of the pond then multiplying the area by 7.5 to get the volume in gallons:
Rectangle: Length x Width=Area
Oval: Measure from the pond centre to the most distant edge (A), then measure from the centre to the nearest edge (B). Multiply A x B = C then C x 3.14 = Area
Circle: Measure from the centre to the edge to get the radius (r). Multiply r x r x 3.14 = Area
Abstract and irregular: Multiply the maximum length by the maximum width = Area
Oblong: Break the space into two half-circles and one square. Calculate the area of the square using L x W and the area of the two half-circles by joining them and using r x r x 3.14. Add the two results together for the total area of the oblong.
Determine your water feature's turnover rate by reviewing the gallons per hour (gph) rate of your pump with the filter attached compared to the total volume of your water feature, for example, a 1,000 gallon water feature needs a pump that can cycle through at least 500 gph to ensure the total volume is 'turned over' once every two hours, 12 times per 24 hours.
Determine the filter flow through rate by dividing the concentration of ammonia and nitrate by the optimum level for the water feature to get the ideal flow through rate to achieve that level; for example, the optimum level of ammonia and nitrate for Koi ponds is 0.0025 milligrams per litre (mg/L). Assume a production of ammonia and nitrate of 817 mg/day, you can find the ideal flow through rate with this equation: 817 mg/day divided by 0.0025 mg/L = 326,800 L/day or, 86,275 gallons/day = 3,535 gal/hr or about 60 gal/min
Maintain a supply of water treatment sufficient to treat the total volume of your water feature in case of contamination. Don't skimp on gph when selecting a pump as ponds should have a turnover rate of at least once every two hours; optimum turnover is once every hour or 24 times per 24 hours. Contact your local water authority prior to introducing fish into your water feature and request a list of chemicals used to treat public water. Measure the pH of your water feature to determine the chemistry of the water prior to any intervention. Take note of the varying amounts of chlorine, chloramines, ammonia and nitrate as these chemicals can rapidly reach toxic levels that will kill fish. Treat the water, if necessary, to remove toxic levels of any harmful chemicals using commercial water treatments.
Chloramine (chlorine combined with ammonia) is often found in public water and will kill fish. You can detect its presence using a water feature pH kit. If found, it is necessary to treat the water with a chloramines removal agent prior to introducing fish.
