In our last Summer Spoke for a while, I joined Ben Eltham to talk about the first parliamentary sitting week in Canberra. The tax reform debate keeps moving along (now without a white paper process), Labor affirms its intention to fully fund Gonski, the Chief Scientist stakes his reputation on a 'zero emissions' economy and the same-sex marriage debate heats up – should there be a plebiscite or a free vote in parliament?

It's all just a load of politics
Whilst the Canberra press gallery and broader Australian media mindlessly waste ink and data postulating who "won" Tuesday's political tussle, I'd suggest the only winner was politics itself.
What about Julia Gillard's rousing speech effectively obliterating Tony Abbott in his chair with clear examples of his sexism and potential misogyny? That was no watershed feminist moment in Australian politics. It was an opportune time to score a big political point. No one likes a hypocrite so what better time to speak out than when Abbott cries sexist?
There have been a litany of moments in Julia Gillard's Prime Ministership when she has effectively chosen to ignore Abbott's overt displays of, and complicity with, sexism towards herself and Australian women in general. By expressing her unquestionably genuine offense now, only when her reputation and minority government is at stake, gives off hints of opportunism and sends the wrong message.
It signals to all Australians that calling out sexist remarks towards women is the last resort and socially unacceptable or god forbid, a bit awkward. "You've got to toughen up and move on, that's just how it is. We'll respect you more if you don't complain and just take it on the chin", right? Wrong. But that social fallacy is what keeps many people silent against gender discrimination.
If the woman who holds the highest office in this country won't or feels she can't speak out against the extreme sexism directed at her until nearly 2 years into her tenure and only when it's related to the credibility of a parliamentary motion against the Speaker, how can other less powerful women do the same and with confidence?
In isolation, Prime Minister Gillard's speech is a progressive light for Australian women and should be applauded, in reality the message, muddied by context and implicit political associations, changes nothing. It's all just a load of politics.
Aim High on Climate Change Action
Hi everyone,
Just wanted to provide a link here to the second article I wrote for The Drum which went up on April 29, 2011. It's a longer article than usual, and I hope into goes into a good level of depth on the issues of economics and climate change. Full text below.
It draws from a previous post I published here called, Australia's dubious and enduring political mantra, 'Go For Growth'.
Aim High on Climate Change Action
Carbon tax. Climate Change. These are terms that now trigger a collective mind-numbing effect on the electorate.
It is unsurprisingly psychologically beneficial and much easier to just switch off. Australians have been patiently waiting for action on climate change for four years, but over that time, public mood and support for action has significantly fallen (you only have to look at the latest ACNielsen Poll). It seems that more and more Australians are willing to be complacent when it comes to taking action on climate change. How did we get to this state? And what is the real unacknowledged reason behind public disillusionment?
To jog your memory, when Kevin Rudd won the federal election in 2007, there was an intoxicating vigour of optimism and consensus alive in the Australian electorate, especially among those Labor and left-leaning voters who had been waiting 11 long (Howard) years to be inspired by a progressive reformist agenda (and I only mean progressive in contrast to Liberal conservative). Rudd's 2007 election platform was a loud and confident pledge to deliver "New Leadership" and "Fresh Ideas".
Kevin Rudd's 2007 election victory speech was a declaration that his government would deliver their reform agenda and that the collective will of the people, as indicated by the decisive election outcome, would be implemented in a continued atmosphere of national unity:
"Today the Australian people have decided that we as a nation will move forward. To plan for the future, to prepare for the future, to embrace the future and together as Australians, to unite and write a new page in our nation's history." (Kevin Rudd on election night 2007)
Since that hopeful time we've witnessed various failed attempts by the Rudd and Gillard Labor governments to price carbon through an Emissions Trading Scheme, a Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme and now a carbon tax. Politicians, business leaders, organisations, regular citizens and lobby-groups have fought tooth and nail over the detail of each proposed scheme, not in the aim of achieving a greater reduction in carbon dioxide emissions but, essentially to further their own political and fiscal interests.
What makes this story a particularly sad one is that all of the political posturing which, frankly resembles an ostentatious fencing duel, has been played out in the public arena to no avail. We have (perhaps subconsciously) maintained Australia's narrowly framed climate drama because at some level, we know that a carbon tax, an ETS or a CPRS just isn't going to cut it, and if you accept that then you're really setting yourself up for some tough decision-making. If the Government and the Opposition continue to deal with climate change in such a circumscribed way, our actions will end up as merely token gestures towards a vaguely-imagined carbon-less future.
Who wants to deal with the actual and potentially impossible climate reality we face? It's certainly not surprising that people aren't rushing forward with enthusiasm, because actually, looking forensically at the overall situation will mean having to question long-established economic structures and behavioural norms. So what is this deeply embedded and broader problem we haven't yet faced up to? What is it that we have, perhaps, conveniently ignored?
Economist Tim Jackson says the problem is "the dilemma of growth" which he explores in a recorded lecture delivered at The 2010 Deakin Lecture series in Melbourne. Jackson demonstrates the inexorable link between "the dilemma of growth" and our open struggle to act on climate change in this lecture. He begins by asking the very poignant question: "How can our economy continually expand on a finite planet?" and if you come up trumps on that question then, "Does it (the growth-based model) not carry within it… the seeds of its own destruction?"
To explore these questions in real terms, Jackson constructs a thought exercise by engaging our present economic and environmental realities in a hypothetical scenario:
How hard would we need to try in order to have… a world in the middle of this century of 9 billion human beings, all aspiring to Western-levels of income, all expecting those incomes to grow at 2 per cent per annum (this is the growth-based model that we're testing here) and yet still achieving stabilisation targets for carbon?
It's a pretty simple thought exercise. We prize those things; global equity, the growth-based model, our ecological limits… How far and how fast would technology have to run to achieve these goals?
You have to get the carbon intensity of economic activity down from an average of 770 grams of carbon per dollar as it is at the moment, to less than 6 grams of carbon per dollar. [That's] a 130-fold reduction. Have we ever achieved anything like it? The answer is no, not by an order of [that] magnitude.
And then, of course, if the economy is still growing, then by second half of the century you actually need an economy that is taking carbon out of the atmosphere. The CO2 per dollar goes negative [and] a negative number means what? It means instead of pumping carbon into the atmosphere relentlessly, we have a society that's pulling carbon out of the atmosphere.
And… when you think about it, just for a moment, you realise we have no idea what this economy looks like. We don't know what its resource base is. We don't know what its technology is. We don't know how its production is organised. We don't know what its products and services are. We don't know what life is like in such an economy and yet this is the logical conclusion for a scenario that says, yes we can grow indefinitely, we can achieve global equity and we can meet our carbon targets.
Now it seems to me that unless we want to find ourselves trapped in a form of magical thinking, this is a point at which we need to ask ourselves quite seriously, can this economy… can this society really deliver us that kind of goal? Or should we be thinking more profoundly about the underlying [economic] structures?"
This dilemma of growth is pertinent to Australia and most, if not all, developed countries of the world. Australia may have addressed concerns over economic growth in passing, but I have never once seen a public throw down over the concept of growth, and it almost seems laughable to even suggest this because growth has always been left unquestioned. Have we consciously considered what economic growth means to Australia? Have we asked how much growth is sustainable? What are the positive and negative consequences of growth? In which sectors of the economy and regions of Australia should growth be encouraged? Is there a healthy or unhealthy tension between our economic goals and our environmental ones? What once was a description rightly used decades ago, "growth is good for the economy" has become an economic and political prescription, "we must have growth, it's always best".
In the second part of his argument, Jackson engages the field of 'system dynamics' to find the crux of the growth-based model; specifically, that part of the model that relentlessly chews through material resources. And that part is business's constant investment in new products:
The production of novelty [is] incentivised by the pursuit by the firm of expanding markets and achieving profits. [And] this production of novelty by firms… has a perfect counterpart in us, …in consumers… [because] it turns out we have something of an appetite for novelty. We love new stuff.
Investment in the production and consumption of novelty is the second cyclical engine of the growth-based economy. It utilises a socially-driven economic logic that has proved impossible and undesirable to counteract, as:
[The last few decades have seen] a story of us being encouraged, persuaded perhaps, to spend money we don't have, on things we don't need, to create impressions that won't last, on people we don't care about, or worse still, who don't care about us. Now what was that about? When all we wanted to do was to create a decent place for ourselves in the social world.
Jackson contends that our pursuit of novelty does not only come from a materialistic desire but also from an anxiety to "live a life without shame" and a need to reinforce our genuine hope for a better future. It is the exploitation of this narrow conception of humanity, (that we are dominated by "self-regarding behaviours") that will lead to our, and the planet's, ultimate undoing. Jackson concludes that, "what we've done is we've created economies [and] we've created systems, which systematically privilege [and] encourage one narrow quadrant of the human soul". But being such a multifaceted species, an economic system that appeals to both our "self-regarding behaviours" and our "other-regarding behaviours" (demonstrating altruism, valuing community and conservation), is possible and Jackson explores this de-carbonised and ecologically sustainable economy in his lecture and book, Prosperity Without Growth.
So why don't we consider a change in our priorities for investment or even just discuss the growth questions raised in this piece? It's very simple to answer, frustratingly so. There is a compelling trap in the growth-based model which almost guarantees a politicians unwavering support for the necessity of investment in novelty (thus causing the abuse of finite resources) as a fail-safe for growth and low unemployment:
[By] continually pursuing labour productivity [in a growth economy]… [you are] doing more next year with fewer people and driving people out of work, unless what? Unless your economy is growing [and that growth, as we have seen, is strongly aided by the production and consumption of novelty]. Now here is something that politicians understand. That growth equals jobs, that jobs equals votes and any government that doesn't respond appropriately will find itself out of office.
The "dilemma of growth", if left unaddressed by this country, will undermine our ability to effectively deal with climate change, to preserve our finite resources, to prevent further biodiversity loss and to construct the future Australia that Julia Gillard so often refers to.
So what are our options?
We can keep enforcing the narrow parameters of Australia's climate change discourse, which will allow us to merrily continue arguing over carbon tax details and appropriate compensation. And if you accept that deal, we can also happily remain in denial over the fact that there will be climate change collateral no matter what we do. That some jobs will be lost, that many companies will have to adapt and that the majority of citizens will have to make a regular monetary sacrifice. But what this option essentially means is leaving climate change and environmental sustainability issues for future generations to deal with. And choosing this option means betting on the development of currently unimaginable technological advancements.
Or the other option is that we can face up to the reality that modern humanity has left us. We can be empowered and challenged by new ideas and we can have faith in our ability to innovate and advance technologically. This country can, if it so chooses, be a leader in the creation and production of renewable energy technology. There is great potential for Australia to develop a unique energy system tailored to suit this vast continent. And to do so we must break free of Australia's inferiority complex and prove that we produce (and hopefully retain) some of the smartest scientists, business people and policy thinkers in the world. It requires a more than substantial boost in government support to relevant research projects and for all Australians to place a higher value on knowledge capital. This option essentially calls for all citizens to re-examine their moral position and consciously decide what their responsibility for acting on climate change should be.
So how can Gillard obtain public and consequently, increased political support for this option? Well, there is a reason why many Australians still have particularly fond sentiments for Gough Whitlam, and that is because Gough Whitlam aimed high. Even if he perhaps, aimed unrealistically high at times and made a few economic mistakes along the way, there is no doubt that Whitlam's reforms landed just below where he had aimed. That is what Kevin Rudd tried to do in 2007 and during his prime ministership, and that is what Julia Gillard and Labor must do now in order to regain public support and garner consensus in order to act on climate change. It's time to aim higher and land with effective reforms rather than aim low and land with ineffective political folly.

I'm No Tech Head But…
There are a few vital facts missing from the debate over the two broadband policies. In fact, there is some misinformation and scare-mongering going on. Shocking, I know. And it's only too easy to be persuaded by these inaccuracies and hyperbole when few voters understand the technicalities of the two broadband infrastructure proposals. So let me clear up some mysteries for you and Mr. Abbott (who, we discovered from his 7.30 Report interview with Kerry O'Brien, is "no Bill Gates.")
First of all, Tony Abbott questioned on the ABC1 Insiders program why Australians should have to pay more than other countries per household for an NBN:
BARRIE CASSIDY: But if we are one of the wealthiest countries in the world why can't we have the best?
TONY ABBOTT: Well if you look at other countries which have got good broadband systems like Korea for instance, like Singapore for instance, they've spent nothing like $5,000 per household to create a government run monopoly which inevitably given the history of this Government is much more likely to be a white elephant than a screaming success.
Well, not to worry Mr Abbott. I can explain why Korea and Singapore have not had to spend $5,000 per household on their broadband network… because Australia's has the sixth biggest area mass (7,741,220 sq km) in the world. South Korea has the 108th biggest area mass (99,720 sq km) and Singapore has 192nd biggest area mass (697 sq. km) – smaller than Hong Kong, and comparatively the same differences exist in land mass. Not to mention that South Korea has a larger population than Australia, 48,636,068 people to 21,515,754 people. So, if you have to lay cable to each household/dwelling in Australia, a lot more cable is required to connect everyone to the broadband network (reminder: we are the only country which is also a Continent in itself).
Mr Abbott is also concerned about putting money into just one technology, fibre optic cable:
TONY ABBOTT: Of course I do Barrie. Of course I appreciate the importance of these things. But let's not assume that we should put all our eggs in the high fibre basket either.
and on the 7.30 Report he said,
TONY ABBOTT: Well, as I said, I think we can do something that will be good for a lot less price. Our system will give Australians national broadband, but it won't be nationalised broadband and it won't depend on just one fibre technology.
So, why should we put all of our eggs in the fibre basket? Because the signals that shoot down fibre cable travel at the speed of light. Last time I checked, you can't get any faster than that. This is cutting-edge, top of the range broadband technology and the fibre cable itself can't actually be improved upon in terms of speed, it is only the fibre optic (data) receivers that receive the signals from the cable that can be upgraded in the future. Thus, investing in fibre technology is a long-term, value-for-money solution.
But Mr Abbott asks, what about wireless?
TONY ABBOTT: …I mean all of the people who are making daily use of telecommunications services, increasingly they're using wireless technology.
All those people who are sending messages from their iPhones and BlackBerries, all those people sitting in airport lounges using their computers, I mean they do not rely on fixed line services.
So why should the Government be so obsessive about fixed line services?
Well, that is also easily explained. Those who use wireless internet on their laptop computers (at home or in a public place like an airport or a café) nearly always rely on a fixed line service (a modem or a router) in the immediate vicinity to interact with, which then sends a signal (through the air or down a cable) to a local exchange point which then continues the signal on to its destination (local, Australia, international) which is usually a server or an end user. If a person is using wireless through their USB modem or their mobile phone, although the initial signal travels through the air to a tower, it is still reliant upon cable technology under the ground to send the data information to its destination and then back to the user. So basically, a strong cable network makes wireless much faster and that is how it will be a reliable technology for the future. And it is important to note that fibre optic cable (which transmits flashes of light) is faster than copper (which transmits electrical pulses) as there is lower signal degredation over long distances.
Later in his interview with Barrie Cassidy, Abbott professed his hope for wireless to greatly improve:
TONY ABBOTT: Well look there are a lot of claims around. I mean there are a lot of people claiming that wireless technology is going to give us very high speeds in the not too distant future.
Once again, wireless will never be the primary technology to deliver broadband because the more users at any one time, the slower the electromagnetic waves are sent and received. Shadow Communications Minister Tony Smith, basically affirmed this point in his vague and non-specific reply to Tony Jones on Lateline, 18th August, 2010:
TONY JONES: OK, well that covers your answer to the spectrum thing. Let me ask you this though: isn't it true that the more people using wireless technology that use it, the slower the speeds. Isn't that a simple mathematical equation?
TONY SMITH: Well, wireless is contended, but the speeds and the technology is getting better all the time, and we are not only promising wireless, Tony.
The potential problem with the Coalition's broadband policy is that it relies heavily on private sector investment in fixed wireless broadband and a fibre optic broadband "backbone." To lay any cable, fibre usually being the most expensive per metre, is a substantial investment risk, with a likelihood of it being unable to deliver fast enough returns. Will the private sector be enticed by this reality? It is a very expensive exercise which makes one think that perhaps it is better for the Federal Government to provide a strong and unified investment in quality infrastructure which will deliver significant outcomes for levels of productivity and quality of living in the future.
Don't get me wrong, there are uncertainties with Labor's National Broadband Network (NBN), such as the lack of a cost-benefit analysis of the NBN, a large expected cost of $43 billion, the potential for cost blow-outs and a characteristic inability of the government to spruik and sell the real, more vital and appealing benefits of the NBN. Instead we are being fed the e-health line (online medical consultations via video, subsidised by Medicare), an important outcome but not the central benefit of the NBN.
Ultimately there is a very simple decision to be made when comparing the two policies:
Do you believe that the government should primarily fund vital infrastructure like the NBN (with the risk of slow returns), which looks beyond our current needs and attempts to keep us in line with the rest of the world on broadband?
– Communications Minister Stephen Conroy: It's not an argument about can we afford to build the National Broadband Network…; it's whether or not we can afford not to build it. Our competitors are building fibre networks; we are falling further and further behind.
Or do you believe that the private sector (with incentives from the government) should (and will) build broadband infrastructure which will be more varied in its use of technologies, but will not provide a unified network/plan?
– Abbott: I would rather rely on a comparative market than depend upon a monopolistic government to provide us with decent services here.
…what we need is something which is affordable and deliverable and I think that's what the Coalition is offering.

There's a big difference between the Labor Party's Paid Parental Leave (PPL) scheme and the Coalition's Paid Parental Leave policy, in more than just the simple monetary figures. Have a scan over the policies and see if you can find the disparity:
Coalition –
The Coalition's Paid Parental Leave scheme will:
1. provide mothers with 26 weeks paid parental leave, at full replacement wage (up to a maximum salary of $150,000 per annum) or the Federal Minimum Wage, whichever is greater;
2. include superannuation contributions at the mandatory rate of nine per cent;
3. allow two out of the 26 weeks to be dedicated paternity leave to be used simultaneously or separately to the mother's leave, paid at the father's replacement wage (up to a maximum of $150,000 per annum) or the Federal Minimum Wage, whichever is greater, plus superannuation.
4. use the same work test and eligibility conditions as the Government's recently legislated scheme;
5. be funded by a 1.5 percent levy on companies with taxable incomes in excess of $5 million. The levy will apply only to taxable income in excess of $5 million.
6. be paid and administered by the Family Assistance Office and will not impose an unnecessary administrative burden on employers, unlike Labor's scheme
Labor –
Paid Parental Leave:
* is government funded
* is for eligible working parents of children born or adopted on or after 1 January 2011
* can be transferred to the other parent
* is paid at the National Minimum Wage – currently $570 a week before tax*
* is for up to 18 weeks
* can be taken any time within the first year after birth.
*The 2010 national minimum wage order has been set at $569.90 per week, calculated on the basis of a week of 38 ordinary hours, or $15 per hour. The PPL scheme payment is calculated at the hourly rate of $15.
You see, with the Coalition's policy those in high-paying jobs (earning up to $150,000 P.A.) who become parents will receive their normal wage from the government, and those earning much less (eg. $40,000 P.A.) will receive their normal wage from the government for 6 and a half months (26 weeks). Now, if I were in the higher income bracket I would be pretty darn happy, whilst if I were in the lower income bracket I would be feeling pretty ripped off. This is because, essentially, the Coalition has put forth a policy that favours the (upper) middle to upper class over those in the so-called "working class" (I cringe to use such general terms, but they are necessary to make a clear point). In other words, the Coalition's policy unintentionally sends a message that the relationship between a newborn child and its mother (and/or father) from Toorak is worth more money than the relationship between a newborn child and its mother (and/or father) from Dandenong. And the farce of it is that we will all, as consumers, be paying for the Coalition's PPL policy when big businesses put up the price of their products to cover the 1.5 percent hike in company tax rates.
It will be paid for with a modest levy of 1.5 percent levy on companies with taxable incomes in excess of $5 million, which will be offset by a 1.5 percent cut in the company tax rate from 1 July 2013.
And as the SMH reports, "taxpayers will supplement the scheme to cover parental leave for Commonwealth public servants."
One cannot deny the logic and practicalities of the situation: that businesses (who feel the pressure from their shareholders) will not allow their annual profits to reduce as the bottom-line is everything and instead we will all share the burden. So why then should the middle and upper classes profit more from this PPL policy, if we all have to pay for it? And even if the most staunch advocates of this policy deny that the burden will be passed on to consumers, why still should one family be paid more than another by the government?
The Coalition's policy is in stark contrast to the Labor Party's Scheme which pays every mother (or father) the same amount of money, the minimum wage of $569.90 per week, for 4 and a half months (18 weeks) – parents will be able choose to receive paid parental leave or the baby bonus when their child is born (same as the Coalition). Labor's policy is fairer, more equitable and does not favour (monetarily) any family or parent-child relationship over another. This policy avoids discriminating between low, middle and high income earners, unlike the Coalition's policy which, by providing different amounts to people in different income brackets, will reinforce pre-existing class barriers and the financial burden already felt by those earning a lower income. Now I'm not advocating for the reverse either (a Robin Hood-approach), I am merely advocating the position that monetary assistance from the government, especially when it relates to the relationship between any newborn child and its parent, should be given equally.
Paid Parental Leave is one of the most important policies to be put forth by both parties in this election and they should both be commended for bringing Australia into the 21st century on this issue as we are well behind many other countries like Italy, Canada, Austria, Belgium and France.
But when you are judging both policies, ask yourself these three questions:
1. Would you expect all consumers to (indirectly) fund a Paid Parental Leave scheme?
2. Do you then deduce that it is reasonable that these payments should foster and ensure that the rich maintain the lifestyle that they are accustomed to, whilst the poor continue to struggle with the costs of living?
and so, when it comes to a Paid Parental Leave scheme for all Australians
3. Should your parent-child relationship be worth more (or less) than someone else's?

Point of View
The entirety of the novel is in Delia's first-person point of view. This places the focus on Delia's external and internal journey. The reader follows Delia as she goes throughout Naples to gather more information about Amalia. At the same time, Delia reveals her thoughts in her narration. This allows the reader to witness her immediate reaction to the events and conversations that take place.
Delia often thinks a few steps ahead of what is actually happening and just goes through the motions of being present in her conversations. Examples of this include when she was in the taxi with Polledro in Chapter 16 and thought about Caserta's father's sweet shop while Polledro spoke to her, and when she invited Signora De Riso into Amalia's apartment in Chapter 19 and began thinking about her parent's relationship. Ferrante uses Delia's first-person...

Bone Broth Protein
On The Go with Vitamin Code, by Jordan Rubin
Summer means carefree unstructured living, while the fall brings changes and adjustments as we settle back into regular routines. Back to school for parents can mean a schedule jam-packed full of work, kids' extracurricular activities, eating on the run and increased stress levels. If you're single with a busy lifestyle, you're juggling your own mix of career, friends, family and activities. Renewed stress and not eating the way you should can mean you aren't getting all the nutrients you need for optimal health. "In the summer, people are often on vacation and there is less structure and less stress. In the fall when you're stressed you're going through more resources or the nutrients aren't in your diet in the first place," says board-certified gastroenterologist,Dr. Joseph Brasco. Cooler weather also brings people inside for activities making exposure to pathogens more likely along with less vitamin D from the sun. For a lot of reasons, your body is definitely under more stress at this time of year."
Fill in the Gaps with a Whole Food Multivitamin
To make sure our immune systems are tip-top, ideally, everyone would eat an organic diet full of nutritious foods but with today's 24-7 on the go culture, this if often unrealistic. A good multivitamin is one way to help make sure your nutritional needs are met. "It's one of the best ways to fill in the gap that stress and improper eating creates," says Dr. Brasco, who is also co-director of The Colon and Digestive Disease Center of Huntsville, Alabama and co-author of the book Restoring Your Digestive Health. But not all multivitamins are created equal. "Most vitamins are synthetic. It's better to derive vitamins from a whole foods source so you get the vitamin with its co-factors which are accessory nutrients that accompany a vitamin in its natural state."
Garden of Life's Vitamin Code Family Formula is a whole food based vitamin and mineral supplement that contains a blend of antioxidant–rich ingredients derived from naturally grown and organic fruits, vegetables, tonic mushrooms, sea vegetables, and botanicals, plus trace minerals that supply nutrients important to support overall health and well-being.† It's made with Living Nutrients™ that contain cofactors that assist proper absorption and utilization by the body, including amino acids, antioxidants, probiotics, prebiotics and organic acids. The Vitamin Code products are the only multivitamins that provide Living Nutrients.
Better for Your Body
The Living Nutrients™, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants come in body-ready whole food form, created by Garden of Life's proprietary Poten-Zyme™ fermentation process. Fermentation is a process that helps liberate the nutrients from the foods so that they are more bioavailable and puts them in a more digestible state that the body can better absorb and utilize them.† Garden of Life's advanced fermentation process uses living probiotic organisms including Lactobacillus plantarum, normally found in the human gut, and their enzymes to pre-digest nutrients into forms that your body can easily digest and absorb. They're better for your body because they are more like food than isolated vitamins.
Mega Benefit
When nutrients are highly absorbable, they provide a mega benefit without a mega dose. "More is not necessarily better. It's better to take a vitamin at a physiological level," says Dr. Brasco. "Obtaining nutrients with their co-factors in a highly utilizable form as if you were eating an ideal, pristine diet is more important than mega doses. A little goes a long way."
76 Whole Foods
Garden of Life'sVitamin Code Family Formula provides at least 100% of recommended Daily Values of key vitamins A, C, E and B and its new upgraded formula now has 76 whole food based ingredients when it previously had 62. It features a rich blend of antioxidants derived from naturally grown and organic fruits such as pomegranates and vegetables, that contain carotenoids, such as lutein and lycopene to support eye health. Garden of Life's Poten-Zyme™ Veggie Juice Blend features sprouted seeds rich in enzymes and other nutrients. The Antioxidant Beverage & Spice blend contains extracts of white tea, green tea, coffee, rosemary, rhododendron, marigold, turmeric, ginger and thyme. The new Vitamin Code Family has a more concentrated nutrient content, which makes them smaller and much easier to swallow.
Maintain a Healthy Lifestyle
Always remember that a multivitamin should be in addition to a healthy diet. "A multivitamin is a supplement," says Dr. Brasco. "That means it's an addition to something and that something is a healthy lifestyle. This includes modifying stress, exercising regularly and eating a healthy diet."

Brock Lesnar understands what Ronda Rousey is going through. And probably that's why he has a sound advice for Ronda Rousey.
Brock's message to Ronda comes after Ronda said that she had suicidal thoughts after her UFC 193 loss to Holly Holm.
The once heavyweight champion aptly knows the feeling because he too once was a king only to come crashing down.
Speaking to SportsCenter on Tuesday night, Lesnar said, "I'm a big fan of Ronda's and have been since the beginning," reports FOX Sports.
"One thing that I learned and she should have learned a long time ago was that you have to learn how to lose before you can actually win."
According to Brock, a balance must be maintained between knowing how to win and accepting how to lose as well. This is what helped him in his career in the end: "That was one thing my coach taught me at a very young age because I was a bad loser whenever I'd get beat," he said.
"You've got to be able to get back on the horse and this life is very precious and very short. One fight isn't going to make or break her career. She's just got to get back on the horse again and figure it out and she will."
Such positive words are sure to help Ronda overcome her UFC 193 loss.
READ ALSO: Ronda Rousey going to have babies?
Ronda landed herself a cover in the SI swimsuit edition. She wore nothing but body paint for her SI photo shoot. She also hosted the Saturday Night Live and is busy filming Mile 22 and the remake of Road House.
However, Brock believes that Ronda has to focus more on what's more important for her-films or UFC career.
"When you're a top athlete, and even people in the movie industry, people that are great at one thing — their work ethic is there," Lesnar said.
"I had no idea I was going to become UFC heavyweight champion of the world, but that was a goal of mine. As I stepped into the Octagon and faced a number of different foes, I knew that I could be. You just work hard at it. If it's in your heart and your mind and you work at it and want to do it and believe in yourself, things can happen."
"She can do whatever she wants to do and I think she's proven that. I think she's got a lot on her plate. You can't be a fighter and be in 10 movies a year. She's going to have to step back and find out what Ronda wants to do moving forward," Brock added.

As business recovers, does your company plan to rehire back to the staffing level it was at before the recession?

Making It Better: Dionne Irving
I met author Dionne Irving amongst mutual friends. My wife and I had recently moved to South Bend, IN, and it was strange. Finding like minded and interesting people was not difficult though.

Great news!
If you're following the story about Bluestone's application to build a wastewater injection well near Lake Arlington, you know that a public hearing was planned for late May in Austin before the Railroad Commission. The date has been postponed to September 5,6, and 7, giving the forces against the well time to mount a much stronger opposition!
Greens have more time to organize and join Liveable Arlington's protest petition and publicity efforts. Please go to their website and sign the petition and get better informed. We will be following the story closely and posting vital information here.
Meanwhile, check the Calendar for an upcoming community forum on April 20. Refer to the article posted earlier this week for more background. (Save Tarrant County Drinking Water!)
Below is the postponement letter from the Railroad Commission:

January 2010 the court date is postponed again. That was a big surprise to our lawyers as it's not practice to be able to postpone twice. Disappointment. We would have prefered to have it over and done with. New court date is set to be in October. So we take a deep breath and try to direct focus on daily life.
I turn 40 – Party time! I haven't celebrated my birthday with a party since I turned 20. It's amazing to have family and friends gathered arround me. We had a fabulous evening full of music. Thank you to all of you who where there. You made that day into a happy and sparkling memory.
I got elected to be the President of the Swedish Baby Swimming Federation. Thank you for the trust. For me it was an honor to serve and I am amazed by the commitment and hard work you all do to help and support members so that we together work towards giving Swedish families the best possible experience when swimming with their young ones.
After the experience with the raise and fall of the Stockholm project we change our strategy. We will not grow more. We are happy with the two facilities we have. KeepTrack is also growing so I'll focus more on Swimmix and Johan on KeepTrack. We move the Shared Service Center to our swim facility in Limhamn.
I love being arround our swimming families and staff. I also throw myself into leading water aerobic groups again. The week before Valentines day I told them we would have a love theme the up coming week. They all came with red lipstick, something red and a special glow in their eyes (see picture). A very warm thank you to these springy ladies and gentlemen - time with you was special we had great fun together while exercising.
In our Swedish swim school we have stepped up in a speed I didn't expect and the effect is clear. Staff is happier and thrive. Customer satisfaction is higher than ever, more than 90% stay every term and we also get applications from interesting people. That is always a good indication of a healthy culture. I am happy and so very proud of the people forming the Swimmix staff and what they do. Thank you for all the years of hard work and happy times. You all have a special place in my mind and heart.
My health troubles me. I stop driving because I sometimes loose my peripheral vision and sometimes I experience a lightning pain in my head. I still get confused and I still experience not remembering things. It might not be Alzheimers; maybe a brain tumor. Maybe both. I was joking about it even if I knew I shouldn't. I am only 40 years old and eat and drink very healthy. I also often have heartache with a numbing feeling in my left arm. I go to the doctors office and as always I am never as healthy as I am when I am there. They take it seriously, do a brain and heart scan but find nothing. I am very low on B vitamins nothing else. Is it all in my imagination? I feel a little embarrassed and at the same time happy that I am as healthy and strong as a young athlete.
October comes up and so does the trial. This is still painful so I'll make this long story short. We have a strong case and proof of 9 degrees in the showers and temperature under the contracted in the pool among other things (our opponent is by now involved in no less than 12 different lawsuits and most of them are going to court). But we loose! I can't believe it! Our Lawyers can't believe it. An independent judge can't believe it. What happened? No one knows but several legal rules were violated by the retiring judge. We have gone through those days so many times and we still don't understand. One thing is crystal clear, our legal system is not better than the people who works within it. I thought more of them, I had trust and faith in them. I am so astonished and deeply disappointed. I am more cynical today.
Good and bad things often come in threes. So after these shocking news two more arrive: We will appeal but we have to deposit 2,5 millions! Money we do not have at this point after Stockholm and the 1½ years with expensive lawyer bills – Furthermore we are looking at a minimum of an additional 2½ years before the appeal will actually be done. But then the last blow comes: The owner of our Limhamn facility will not extend our lease! We had a 10 year lease and it was time to renegotiate it. But they have other plans for the whole building. All contracts and leases are terminated. We all have a year. But due to the situation we are in we go down. Ship is sinking! The last of November we file for bankruptcy in Sweden. Monday we call in staff and they get the information. Chock and sadness! I write a letter and send it to all our swim families. Television comes. The paper comes. It's a crazy day.
And then all is silent. So silent.
We lost so much. I get letters, mails, pictures, and messages from many of those who have been part of Swimmix Sweden. Thank you for your love and concern. I still miss you and the time we had. I always smile when I think of you all and our time together – many great memories.
The rights for Swimmix and our facility in Denmark is still ours and most importantly, we didn't loose ourselves. Furthermore we are so much on top of the bankruptcy that we manage to limit loss for our swim families to an absolute minimum (about two swim lessons), all the good guys get paid and our opponent in Stockholm gets nothing (actually he gets about 0,05% of his claim just to emphasize that everybody loose in court). Thank you to our lawyers from Vinge in Malmö, Emma Olsson, Lina Bergqvist and Christer Azelius. We know how hard you worked and also that you put your whole heart into our case. We will always feel a deep appreciation for that.

Our Journee Home is about wanting to be a part of something bigger than myself, my pain and my grief and wanting to touch hearts all over the world threw the way that devastates us the most our loss. Not just of a child but of another human in our life that birth us, we birth, we loved, we have relationships with, and that impacted our lives in some way. When these people leave this earth that pains stay with us no matter how much we move on. And although life around us continues we just sometimes need the comfort of knowing they did exist, they were real, they are a part of us and if OJH sending a memorial a bit of encouragement or anything to let others out there no its OK then mission accomplished! Sometimes it doesn't take a bunch of words to touch a heart but just a small gesture that ability to let your hurt touch the next persons, may be the only god that person sees at the darkest most vulnerable time of their lives….
I was recently asked, what is the point of OJH and why are you giving away stuff? What are you gaining from this? My response is:
Ephesians 6:8
King James Version (KJV)
8 Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receives of the Lord, whether he is bond or free.
After I loss Journee I became broken, All I wanted was peace. All I wanted was to keep her alive; all I wanted was to not feel like I was alone in my grief. Whatsoever you do should be returned to you. If I wanted that, I had to give it to receive it. It's not about getting something in return Its about touching someone's heart threw the one thing that hurts them the most, their grief. If these memorial items give someone just a little hope then my work is done, and greater is my reward in heaven by being reunited with my baby girl.
Our grief does not define us. Our experiences have taught us to look at things in a more rounded way…. to a certain extent. Our stories our lives don't require pity just requires someone to understand that yes, we are not the same and will never be. This is our reality, this is our life. It does not make us handicap, outcast, abnormal or anything else we've somehow become. It makes a testimony, it makes us a source of strength when strength is needed it makes us a source of hope when hope is gone.
After the loss of my daughter I changed for the good, and the bad. I grew patient to things I would normally not have patients for and I loss patients for things I normally would have patients for. I became humbler, more willing and anxious to help people. I learned things; I never had an interest in. I also became sad, weakened by my emotions although strong and determined. My heart aches for the loss of my daughter although it rejoices for the things I can now see. It rejoices because I now have a greater purpose although sometimes the emptiness I feel from living without her makes her mission here void.

RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – This Sunday, June 11th, Praça da Apoteose in Rio's Centro will host a show by Dutch DJ Ferry Corsten. Starting at 12 noon, the day party will present Corsten's recently released album "Blueprint" and celebrate the tenth anniversary of the electronic music project Superstar DJs.
Pioneer in the Dutch electronic music scene, Corsten was introduced to the music universe in a very young age, through his father's record player.
Corsten's first live performance, at the age of sixteen, earned him his first award. It was in 1996, however, when the artist gained visibility launching his first big hit "Don't be afraid" on the British billboards.
Since then Corsten has been considered a top reference in the international electronic music: in 2004, the musician was elected the best international DJ with the best compilation work; last year, Dutch TV channel TMF awarded him for the best videoclipe of the year, with "Rock your body, rock".
In 2007, Corsten played for the first time to the Brazilian audience, participating on DJ Tiesto's show on Ipanema Beach. The successful experience in 2007 brought Corsten back to Brazil in 2011, when he performed with English DJ Paul Oakenfold, and again in 2013, when he shared the stage with the Belgians Domitri Vegas & Like Mike and Swedish House Mafia's Axwell.
On Sunday (June 11th), Corsten's forth show in Brazil brings to the audience the album "Blueprint", characterized by its gripping and innovative sound. Predominantly a trance music album, "Blueprint" includes the rhythms of future bass, in tracks like "Here We Are", "Piece Of You" and "Reanimate", and progressive house, in songs like "World Beyond".
"It is perhaps his most ambitious undertaking to date, as it aims to transcend the barriers of traditional trance confines and deliver a more wholesome, well-rounded package to fans," opines Kanvar Kohli, Dancing Astronaut's music critic.
British expatriate in Rio and DJ, Jody King shares, "Ferry Corsten is a very big-name DJ. I'm gutted I will miss his event." Adding "He has produced a few of the best all-time trance classics with 'Out Of The Blue', 'Gouryella' and 'Beautiful'. It will be a massive show and a production of the highest quality no doubt."
In order to get free access to the show, one must take one kilo of non-perishable food for donation. Entrance fee will be charged for those interested in the premium floor and the VIP area.
What: SUPERSTAR DJS presents Ferry Corsten
When: Thus Sunday (June 11th) – 12PM to 12AM
Where: Apoteose – Rua Marquês de Sapucaí, 36 – Santo Cristo (Centro) – Tel: (21) 2240-9589
Entrance: Free entrance with 1kg food, premium and VIP seats for R$80 – R$120

We were able to make a brunch reservation during our on-line check in at the same time we reserved port adventures and registered the boy for the kids club. The champagne brunch is available on "at sea" days. Our 7-night itinerary included two at sea days and we make our brunch reservation for the second at sea day.
The day prior to our brunch reservation, we received a reminder/invitation in our stateroom. It indicated the dress code for the occasion along with a reminder of the time.
|Course 1--Jamon Iberico with Taittinger Champagne
The Berkshire Pork, Cannellini Beam course came next, and again, was delicious.
Our impressions--based on the fact that I had to take pictures of the dishes along with the menu indicates that the husband and I are not "foodies" and are as easily satisfied with less sophisticated offerings. Having said that, we did enjoy the brunch. The Cast Members were friendly and helpful. The meal itself was relaxing and we didn't feel rushed but we didn't feel like we waited either. And, while some of the food is not what we eat every day, we tried each course and enjoyed each bite! We were also okay with the group presentation at the beginning of the brunch. It was kind of fun to have and one couple who was there, we bumped into later in the day and we were referred to as their "Remy friends."
What we didn't appreciate was the "upsell" of the champagnes experience. Between the two of us, it would have been an additional $50 for six glasses of champagne and we are much too. . . too practical. And, even without the champagne we had a great time and enjoyed each other's company.
Would we do this again? Maybe. I'm not going to rule it out, but I'm also not putting dining at Remy into the "must do" category for our next Disney Cruise.
Oh, and were was the boy while we dined at Remy? He was at the Edge, the club for tweens ages 11-14.

Starting OpenSSH
OpenSSH is installed by default during Linux installations. Because SSH and SCP are part of the same application, they share the same configuration file and are governed by the same /etc/init.d/sshd startup script.
You can configure SSH to start at boot by using the chkconfig command.
[[email protected] tmp]# chkconfig sshd on
You can also start, stop, and restart SSH after booting by running the sshd initialization script.
[[email protected] tmp]# service sshd start [[email protected] tmp]# service sshd stop [[email protected] tmp]# service sshd restart
Remember to restart the SSH process every time you make a change to the configuration files for the changes to take effect on the running process.

As "Featured" on the Daily Show! 😉
iTazer is the safe and effective alternative to current controversial stun weapons found on the market. Just the sound of its loud electrical clacking noise, vibrating rattle, and the sight of the high-voltage arc are enough to send even the hardest criminals fleeing, screaming like a little girl (especially if said criminal is, in fact, a little girl).
Your friends will be stunned*, shocked*, and awed* when they see you chasing after them with a crazed look on your face and an iTazer in your hand. This will likely be followed by confusion in seeing that it is not, in fact, a tazer, but an iPhone® or iPod Touch® with an incredibly realistic looking tazer application running on it. Your friend might then start to laugh, which could possibly anger you, causing you to give them an iKick**, or at least a iWetWillie**. Who's laughing now? Beware, however: Some may whip out their iPhone® and start chasing you with an iTazer of their own. These kinds of iTazer matches have been known to last as long as 10 seconds, at which time your boss will probably tell you to stop making all racket, and get back to work.
Here are some testimonials from satisfied iTazer users:
"I was never able to browse websites and listen to music with my old tazer. Thanks iTazer!"
– Brad Olson
– Officer Patrick Morgan, SPD
We do not recommend using iTazer for actual self-defense purposes in a potentially threatening situation unless you are absolutely positive that the criminal is stupid enough to believe that he or she will be tazed and run away. If you are not sure of this, you should install and use i911** instead.
* We are deeply sorry for the blatant puns. No, this app doesn't "really shock you," Einstein.
** These apps are currently in development and will be released as soon as we figure out what exactly someone would use them for.
*** Vibration will not work on iPod Touch devices. On the first generation iPod Touch, since it doesn't have a speaker, nor will the sound, so put in headphones and pretend like they're ear protection.
