Inquiry Question
Reading 2: Excerpts from Key Lincoln Speeches
Below are excerpts of four speeches that Lincoln researched, wrote, rewrote, practiced, and finally presented while he lived in Springfield. Words and text that Lincoln emphasized in his original text are shown here in bold.
Excerpt from Lincoln's "House Divided" Speech at Springfield, Illinois, June, 16, 1858.
'A house divided against itself cannot stand.'
I believe this government cannot endure, permanently half slave and half free.
I do not expect the Union to be dissolved -- I do not expect the house to fall -- but I do expect it will cease to be divided.
It will become all one thing, or all the other.
Either the opponents of slavery, will arrest the further spread of it, and place it where the public mind shall rest in the belief that it is in course of ultimate extinction; or its advocates will push it forward, till it shall become alike lawful in all the States, old as well as new -- North as well as South.
from The Collected Works of Abraham Lincoln
Roy P. Basler, Editor, Vol. II, pp. 461-462
Excerpts from Lincoln's Address at Cooper Institute, New York City, February 27, 1860.
Let all who believe that 'our fathers, who framed the Government under which we live, understood this question just as well, and even better, than we do now,' speak as they spoke, and act as they acted upon it. This is all Republicans ask -- all Republicans desire -- in relation to slavery. As those fathers marked it, so let it be again marked, as an evil not to be extended, but to be tolerated and protected only because of and so far as is actual presence among us makes that toleration and protection a necessity. Let all the guaranties those fathers gave it, be, not grudgingly, but fully and fairly maintained.
Neither let us be slandered from our duty by false accusations against us, nor frightened from it by menaces of destruction to the Government nor of dungeons to ourselves. Let us have faith that right makes might, and in that faith, let us, to the end, dare to do our duty as we understand it.
from The Collected Works of Abraham Lincoln
Roy P. Basler, Editor, Vol. III, pp. 535, 543, 546-47, 550
Excerpts from Lincoln's First Inaugural Address, March 4, 1861.
One section of our country believes slavery is right, and ought to be extended, while the other believes it is wrong, and ought not to be extended. This is the only substantial dispute.
In your hands, my dissatisfied fellow countrymen, and not in mine is the momentous issue of civil war. The government will not assail you. You can have no conflict, without being yourselves the aggressors. You have no oath registered in Heaven to destroy the government, while I shall have the most solemn one to 'preserve, protect, and defend' it. I am loathe to close. We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battle-field, and patriot grave, to every living heart and hearthstone, all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of Union, when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.
from The Collected Works of Abraham Lincoln
Roy P. Basler, Editor, Vol. IV, pp. 262-63, 268-69, 271

Woodford is a small but very pretty town, 20 minutes west of Caboolture on the D'Aguilar Highway. Noted for its wide streets, grand old hotel and colonial style shops, it was one of the earliest settled areas of the shire and its history is reflected in several noted tourist spots.
Woodford is home to one of Australia's largest collections of narrow gauge steam locos. Members of the Australian Narrow Gauge Railway Museum Society have developed a museum off Archer Street and on the first and third Sunday of the month, volunteers run a restored steam loco through the town for visitors to enjoy.
The summit of Mount Mee offers panoramic views over the Moreton Bay Region to the bay. The Mount Mee state forest with its walking tracks, picnic areas and camping sites, is extremely popular. The well signed walks wind through superb sub tropical rainforest and offer spectacular views.
Rich farm lands produce strawberries, bananas, pineapples, pawpaw with many roadside stalls and shops the place to stop and select produce fresh from the farm daily.
Woodford township oozes charm with its colonial shops offering a variety of goods from antiques, fashion, home wares and eateries. Visit local historical sites and art installations.
Woodford is also home to a large annual music festival.

Steve Marsh: Help this farmer stop Monsanto's GM canola
Update February 2016
Steve Marsh refused Special Leave application to have the High Court of Australia review his case. 12 February 2016.
Update October 2015
Steve Marsh loses WA Supreme Court of Appeal in a 2/1 Judgment and seeks leave to Appeal to High Court of Australia
Steve lost the first trial in February 2014 with a decision against him which we believe is biased and contains legal and factual errors.
Steve then lodged an appeal which was heard before three judges in the Western Australian Supreme Court on the 23, 24 and 25 of March 2015.
Steve appealed the trial decision and the costs order against him. The trial decision was appealed on the 23 & 24 of March. The decision went against Steve in September 2015.
For the costs order, the appeals judges unanimously found in favour of Steve Marsh and ordered the GM farmer to disclose who had paid his legal bills within 14 days. Subsequently Monsanto issued a press release disclosing that they had contributed to the GM farmers legal bills. This has implications for whether Steve will ultimately be liable to pay for the GM farmers costs if he loses the trial appeal. The appeal judges also ordered a stay on costs. This means that Steve does not have to come up with $804,000 to pay for the costs order against him for the original trial pending the outcome of the appeal. We are all sitting fingers crossed waiting to see what happens. It Steve wins the appeal then the costs order will be reversed and the GM farmer will have to pay Steve's costs and damages!
We are still fund raising urgently to support Steve in the costs required to pay for the appeal. Not all the bills are in and we are still short of funds. Please consider making a donation. This campaign would not be where it is today without your support: Thank you so much for being a part of the #IamSteveMarsh movement!

You might not have heard of Steve Marsh yet but this man could lose everything to protect your right to eat GM-free food. Steve is an organic farmer from a farming community South of Perth in Kojonup, Western Australia and in 2010, the state government of Western Australia lifted the ban on GM canola, allowing for the commercial cultivation of this GM crop for the first time. As a result many farmers, including Marsh's next door neighbour, began growing GM canola. Subsequently, Steve found GM canola plants spread over much of his farm, containing seed. 70% of Steve's farm was contaminated and he lost his organic certification.
The full version of our video is also available here.
This contamination has had a dramatic impact on Steve and his livelihood, while Monsanto, because of their no liability agreement signed with each GM farmer, are free of any responsibility for GM contamination. Instead of accepting this biotech invasion, Steve has decided to take a stand. As the only avenue available, Steve is taking his neighbour to court for compensation of loss and damages. The GM farmer is being supported by pro GM lobby group the Pastoralists & Graziers Association. This case is the first of its kind in the world, where an organic farmer is seeking compensation from a GM farmer when his rights have been violated by GM contamination. This is something that Steve does not want to do but he has no other option if he wants to stand up for his right to farm GM free and our right to eat GM free.
"Steve Marsh is one person, but Steve Marsh is everyone" – Costa Georgiadis #IamSteveMarsh
The labelling system in Australia and New Zealand is full of loop holes and often the only way to be certain that a food is GM-free is to buy organic. When Steve took his issue to the Agricultural Minister at the time, Terry Redman, he was told that the organic standards are to blame for his loss suggesting that organic foods should allow contamination by GM. We disagree and believe that it is a fundamental right of all of us to grow and eat GM free foods, especially organic foods.
If the court decides that it is 'unreasonable' for the organic industry to have a zero tolerance for GMO's, the result is that in Australia you will have no right to eat GM-free products and no way to guarantee that products grown in Australia are GM-free. The cost to purchase and trade in GM-free products will go up if non-GM farmers have to pay the cost of contamination. And eventually, GM-free crops may be eradicated due to contamination in the long-term!
Steve is standing up for what he believes in but he cannot do it alone that is why the Safe Food Foundation is coordinating fundraising for Steve's legal costs to ensure that Steve has the best chance to go to court and win for every one of us.
The international law firm of Slater & Gordon has taken on the case under their public interest policy but there are still many other costs necessary for barristers, court costs and expert witnesses and this will cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. Steve could not take this case without our support.
If you believe farmers should have the right to produce GM-free food which ultimately equals your right to eat it, if you believe the GM-free farmer should not be the one responsible to pay the cost of contamination, please support Steve and make a donation now!

What can before important than getting involved with defeating this before it sets a precedence that negatively affects the health of almost everyone on the planet?
John Wilson November 19, 2013 at 5:16 pm
Dear Steve Marsh,
Of course, bad guys don't want you to go to court because in a Common Law country like Australia, you have the inalienable Right to Trial by Jury where a Jury of your equals will judge the justice of the law as well as the facts. That's the only way to defeat these characters and corporations who don't care how much people are hurt as long as they make a profit.
So, go to court and give them heaps…. just make sure there is a Jury and that Jury knows what their rights and responsibilities are. Call me of 0401 413 650.
Yours sincerely,
John Wilson.

I organized a rally in Albany in May and we raised $500 which we sent to Steve case
I'm in Denmark and thinking of hiring a bus to take a group up to Kojunup for the court case day
Thinking it would be great to have a huge crowd of support there
I'm part of a WA GM free network and if we had notice and exact times we could put the word out to get people there
What do you think Of the idea?
Andrew December 3, 2013 at 12:33 pm
It is great to see someone prepared to stand up to a large corporation that has no conscience beyond the profit of its own shareholders. Access to good, wholesome produce should be a right and not a privilege. There is nothing wrong with consuming food that does not meet aesthetic standards or has a few holes in its leaves.
ANDREW FLETCHER December 3, 2013 at 1:09 pm
I am proud to know people like STEVE who have the courage to stand up to the BULLYBOY
TACTICS of GOVERNMENTS & MAJOR INTERNATIONAL firms. It is ABOUT TIME that
MONSANTO was PULLED DOWN A PEG OR TWO as they have a long standing opinion
that they can RIDE ROUGHSHOD OVER THE WORLD. If farmers desire to stay "" GM"" free
then they should be protected by the people given the job ( GOVERNMENTS ) to do that.
Unfortunately LIBERAL \ NATIONAL GOVT'S ALWAYS SIDE with the "" BIG END OF TOWN ""
Once again it is good to know that there a people like STEVE still in AUSTRALIA ready to
take the fight to the "" BADDIES "".
Ron December 3, 2013 at 1:36 pm
We are with you Steve
Michel Dawes December 3, 2013 at 3:57 pm
FIGHT MONSANTO ALL THE WAY! MONSANTO MUST BE STOPPED FROM THIS TYPE OF CORPORATE CONDONED CONTAMINATION BY STEALTH! Take this donation and put it to good use. WE THE PEOPLE STAND UNITED WITH FARMERS LIKE STEVE AND WILL NOT BE SATISFIED UNTIL MONSANTO IS BROUGHT TO JUSTICE!!!
Ernie Gruijthuijsen December 3, 2013 at 5:28 pm
Dear Steve,
you are VERY courageous and I sincerely hope that you can win and therewith set a landmark precedent, the Paul Kelly song in the video is poignant indeed. Have donated to your legal fighting fund and will help spread the word.
Good luck, stay calm, you have a great organisation behind you now.
Kind regards, Ernie
Roman Golubev December 3, 2013 at 8:51 pm
Hi Steve,
Good luck with getting the compensation. However, I'd like to voice my disagreement with you on the subject of using GM crops. Yes, there is a scare campaign and lots of consumers are scared of GM food but there is nothing wrong with it. I'm not going to try to change anyone's opinion here. I just want to say, it's OK for me to eat GM food. I'd rather have the farmer use less pesticides or herbicides with GM plants than otherwise.
Heather December 16, 2013 at 8:11 pm
it is your right to eat GMOs if you wish, and it is MY right to eat organic if I wish. Sadly there is a lot more rules and regulations than you may think for produce to be certified organic. It only takes a little GM pollen to have traits transferred to other crops – and weeds.
Salient point is that it will take YEARS for this farmer, and a lot of work on his soils, to recover organic status, and in the meantime he is losing money. And as long as his neighbour is growing GM crops the contamination will reoccur.
Not only that, but local weeds will gradually become RoundUp resistant or BT toxin producing. Likely result? Eventually farmers will have to return to the back breaking work of weeding their crops by hand.
Victoria Bingham March 22, 2014 at 1:11 am
To Roman who thinks there is nothing wrong with GM foods.. I'll offer just one example of research but first, let's set aside the gene splicing and frankensteinesque insertion of animal and viral genetic material into the cells of the 'edible' plants, and set aside the poison baths that these 'edible' plants are poised to sustain, and set aside the obvious difficulty assuming that none of these poisons are remaining on the edible portions when these plants go to market, or sucked up by the roots into the composition to be eaten by you and your children, let's set all of this obvious wildly toxic ingestion of poison aside and consider the results that one researcher got by taking 3 sets of rats and feeding them a variety of foods; that is, one set of rats ate GM foodstuffs, another ate 'conventional foodstuffs' and yet another set of rats was fed conventional foodstuffs over which Roundup and Pesticides were sprayed… The results were manifest to anyone with ears to hear and eyes to see: the rats that ate the conventional foods, even those sprayed with pesticides – brokered no ill effects. 100% of the rats fed GM foodstuffs developed malignant tumors. 100%. If you don't see a problem with that, you are an industry troll.

monica December 3, 2013 at 11:53 pm
Thank you for fighting this on our behalf Steve. I can only imagine the stress this has caused for you and it would have been much easier for you to back down. But you are standing up for the rights of all Australians. Sending you love, blessings and gratitude.
Arjay Martin December 4, 2013 at 9:50 am

It is time for people to stand up and start to take note of the facts behind GM. Most people here would probably get very annoyed at anyone who denied global warming, and would be quick to point them to the scientific studies that have been done which prove the existence of anthropogenic climate change. It is hypocritical, therefore, to fail to look at the science behind GM.
I invite you all, if you have the time, to watch this speech from Mark Lynas, a former anti-GM campaigner. It is very much worth considering what he has to say.

This is not the first of the big American companies trying to take over all grain product farming in the world. If this is following the usual trend of the big American companies then "they" will sneak in other regulations, Ie, you have to plant or use "their GM product".
George Hayes December 6, 2013 at 1:22 pm
It is time all fair minded people stood up for their rights, there is no justice available to the ordinary man in the street. Contacting politicians is a total waste of time. Only when concerned residents support each other {en masse} will something be achieved.
Good luck Steve Marsh.
Anne Armstrong December 6, 2013 at 10:56 pm
Steve, your Mum is my second-cousin and she has told me about your fight for justice. You KNOW that you are in the right. We are in the UK, but will be following developments closely, as the outcome of this case has huge implications for all of us. Wishing you all the best. Stay strong.
Luke December 12, 2013 at 9:11 am
It seems to me that in every state of this country the parliaments are full of corrupt politicians (and let's not mention federal!)
It's time politicians stop acting like an authority and realise they have broken the trust agreement made with us the people who put them in power (I think they think it's the corporate donors that get them the votes).
Good luck there Steve I really hope you win!

ADD this to your Case
"The Attorney-General, Senator the Hon George Brandis QC, has asked the Australian Law Reform Commission (ALRC) to review Commonwealth legislation to identify provisions that unreasonably encroach upon traditional rights, freedoms and privileges.
Senator Brandis said that the review will be one of the most comprehensive and important ever undertaken by the ALRC.
"This is a major instalment towards the commitment I made to restore the balance around the issue of human rights in Australia," said Senator Brandis.
"I have asked the Commission to identify where traditional rights, freedoms and privileges are unnecessarily compromised within the legal structure of the Commonwealth. Where encroachments exist, the Commission will determine whether they are justified.
"For too long we have seen freedoms of the individual diminish and become devalued. The Coalition Government will strive to protect and restore them."
"Freedoms are some of the most fundamental of all human rights. They underpin the principles of democracy and we cannot take them for granted.
"The Commission will focus in particular upon commercial and corporate regulation; environmental regulation; and workplace relations

Greetings from Toowoomba,
I have followed GMO and GEO issues for some time now and having recently moved from here from San Francisco (Santa Rosa to be exact), I can attest to the fast-paced changes occurring across society and to our food supply in general.
As part of my research in ecology as I work towards a second master's degree in Climate Adaptation and Sustainability, I recently published a paper on transgenic salmon (AquAdvantage) soon to enter the North American market. Had I known about Steve Marsh a little sooner, his story would have been a fascinating case example of the consequences of the escape of GMO's and their genetically engineered material.
I stand in support of Steve, and I will do all I can to raise awareness and if possible, contributions, to support Steve, his family, and his fight.
Good luck Steve,
~ Marc

Turn up at the court on the 10th people . Lets make a stand .
Sam Trethewey December 23, 2013 at 1:34 pm
I'm not pro-GM, and I'm not pro-organic – whatever works for the farmer and his market.
There seems to be quite a few facts missing from the video, no doubt to assist the desired opinion and consequent influence of behaviour to donate.
Could we perhaps be informed as to how the spread of GM Canola pollen across 70pc of Steve's property contaminates his fodder and crops? What actual costs do his plants bare? What actual compromise has there been at a physiological or biological level and not just a "label" or "image" level?
Next door no doubt sprayed glyphosate, trisulfuron and may have even slug baited… drift happens…. does that not also challenge his organic status?
Also, tread carefully regarding the notion it's affecting "conventional" non-organic farmers. There's more of them than GM licences and organic farmers put together and we're yet to see ANY compromise in crop yields, stock health or soil biology from being next door to GM Canola.
The rules and regs of organic certification are of question here.
I'm not having a crack, I'm just wanting to see a case, video or incentive for interest, support or donation paint the FULL story. Once I have it, I can then give full support.
Thomas Gilbert December 23, 2013 at 11:58 pm
I support organic non GMO foods always. I have a satire parody entitled "If I Ran Monsanto, by Dr. Sues" that I wish to share with anyone who wishes to expose Monsanto for the monster that it truly is. Give me an email address and I'll paper-clip the story to a file for you to help educate the public. Blessings, Tom Gilbert firstname.lastname@example.com
Mike Armstrong December 29, 2013 at 8:57 pm
Onya Steve and SFF. You are fighting the good fight. Justice MUST prevail.
It was great to see in this Weekend's Australian that Matt Preston has added his weighty support to this campaign. Harnessing the network he has at his disposal could be just the tonic for your cause. I've e-mailed the Oz congratulating him for stepping up and added the link to the SFF website in the hope it might just get a mention. This is like the fight to save the forests or the oceans…it's a primal scream !
Merel December 30, 2013 at 7:10 am
Fully supporting Steve!
How about starting an Avaaz global petition. Surely that will go viral and have consequences for the court case if not also for Australian politics and laws.
I will defenitely sign it, please start one!
Luigi Rosolin December 31, 2013 at 3:42 pm
I certainly support Steve Marsh. First the decision of the WA government to allowed GM cultivation had been wrong as is well know proved that can't be limited to some area. The Monsanto company had a reputation of corruption and bad practice. People that are informed are refusing to eat food genetically modify as is real health risk. The impact where such crop had been extensively used had create enormous damage to fauna and flora. My hope is that company and WA government will be found responsible with the neighbor farmer of damage. God bless you in your battle for justice.
ShazzyBee December 31, 2013 at 4:43 pm
Just put $5 into the cause!!! not much but every little bit will help… i dont want this for my kids
Lisa Howieson December 31, 2013 at 10:35 pm
Dear Steve, congratulations on having the guts to take a stand against Monsanto. They say GM is safe – they used to say the same about asbestos! Thank you for doing what so many others wish they had the courage to do. Good luck from another non-GM farmer.
amber January 8, 2014 at 8:40 pm
Dear Steve, from the bottom of my heart I thank you for having the courage to stand up and fight for what is right, and as a mother of a one year old, fighting for the future and health of the generations to come. Wishing you all the luck for a successful outcome. Thank you!!!!
Lorraine Gonzalez January 10, 2014 at 3:24 am
Thank you Steve for standing up for your rights our rights our children's and future generations. I only purchase organic produce that includes my fruit and veg meat and pantry goods. That's what I don't grow in my own backyard from organic seed. I don't want GM toxins in my body or my children. That's my choice and my right. You have my full support to have the right to produce crops that are certified organic and the fact that you have had that taken from you is disgraceful. I don't use this word often but I HATE Monsanto.
Caomil31 January 10, 2014 at 10:02 pm
It's not an hazard if Monsanto has a clause of non-liability with the farmers who buy OGM. They know everything about the consequences of their business, so why they will stand behind the farmer who used their seeds. Hope that can become a jurisprudence all other the world!!!
Jo January 11, 2014 at 9:34 am
I have always been annoyed at the righteousness of organic farmers. Just because they are organic everyone around hem has to accommodate them. Whether it be spraying, what the plant and how they do it. It they want to be organic fine but their neighbours have a right to run businness also and make a profit.
Sally Lee January 11, 2014 at 3:04 pm
Hi Steve, I was brought up in Kojonup (Jingalup). In the 1970's there was no chemical and slowly, slowly the chemicals came. My Dad resisted until my brother came back from agricultural college in the late 1980's, dead keen to use chemicals like his mates. He did. There was no turning back then. Next has been GM. It is silly to produce chemical ridden grains you would not eat yourself.
I commend you in upholding good farming values and commitment to clean food. I am sure you would have the support of all the old people who powerlessly saw the land turned this way because of the unrelenting advertising dollar of the chemical and seed companies over a few short decades..
I wish you every success and that you can return to farming cleanly on your property in a timely way. I hope your good values spread to others in the shire. All power to you!

Write emails individually to all Primary State Fed Ministers for Agriculture….re labelling with heavy fines and suspension of licences in worse cases. Chemicals are already flooding land discharging to rivers oceans Do you think people that dont live here will care about the pollution they generate here. China and india dont even csre about their own food snd land how are they going to take care of Australia. This is more than land rights !!!

Congratulations Steve. More strength to your arm ! We so-called fee citizens are being over-run by big business
without recourse . It is time that all such action must be
approved before being foist on the public. Go for it mate.
Peter McSween February 4, 2014 at 2:21 pm
Hi Steve & SFF, all the best with this, there is a limited future for chemical farming & GM foods but lifetimes left with organic & sustainable farming. The message needs to go out to the big corporations that the individual needs to be looked after and not bullied. Once again my hope is that you have a win in this case. Cheers, Peter.
carriejoy February 6, 2014 at 12:53 pm
Steve, I sued my neighbour over chemical trespass at Medicine Gully, it was only wild blackberries, but I used them and kept them in check by hand. The spray contractor was sent by the local landcare group, who told my neighbour the "blackberries would have to go". Of course they were all back the following year with garlon contamination. The neighbour got angry and sued me for costs of $20,000; I had to go to the Supreme Court of SA to save my home from being sold under me (2006). Now I am working on a Chemical Free Catchment Plan for the watercourse of Karra Wirra Parri (the Torrens) with some support from the NRM, who are basically too frightened to acknowledge the damage they have done with chemicals. It is essential that you connect with traditional owners of your area, as they can help you in caring for country, and in planning food production for the future. We have all been schooled in learned helplessness, as part of the colonial process, and rely too heavily on supermarkets, the packaging industry and the farmers,
Russell Knock February 8, 2014 at 8:19 am
Hi Steve, I am sorry I don't have any money to support your cause , but I can pray to support you. I think its time the big companies learned they cannot walk over the little bloke, Gods blessings on your day in court, Rusty.
Taryn Ward February 8, 2014 at 2:42 pm
Good on you for standing up for what you believe in, best of luck in the trial and I hope you win so your case can set a precedence for others that may be facing the same fight!

Win or lose the court case. Monsanto must fall. Their history is insidious, soon they will actially reap all the contimination they have sown since Agent Orange.

Will be thinking of you and your team tomorrow. Have donated and was at supreme court gardens today because I am a strong supporter of non gm farming methods. Good luck for the road ahead and thank you for taking on the fight.
Elisabeth Jenders February 14, 2014 at 4:20 am
Maybe this depicts how the courts rule:
I'm using the image of the soil being a mother, with the farmer planting his seeds into her, like he fathers children with his wife.
Mr. M(onsanto) rapes Mrs. F(armer), she becomes pregnant by him.
The way a judge would rule normally is that Mr. M pays maintenance for the baby to Mr. and Mrs. F.
Not in this case: Mr. M sues Mr. F to hand over not only this baby, but all their other children too, and to pay maintenance for them – and the court rules in his favour!
Best of luck, Steve!

The consumption of genetically modified organisms are linked to ongoing health issues especially for many suffering from allergies. Many of 'the better informed' I know that live in Sydney for e.g., refuse to knowingly consume products that contain canola – period.
I want choice! I want to know what I eat! I don't want an ever decreasing range of natural fresh food choices. I don't want a multi-national corporation with an identity profile of a pschopath serving or controlling me with anything.
I want GMO labelling laws. I want choice and I want profit hungry lobbyists OUT of politics. Companies like Monsanto, Dow and like, don't represent our best interests. Why do our courts or laws tolerate such blatant bribery of public officials?
Choose now or forever be part of the global village of the damned!
Is it time for a good olde fashion 'tar & feathering' of more than a few key executives and their corporate & bureaucratic power mongers & pions alike? Heat up the tar pots and start plucking (the organic) chickens! Shareholders in these corporations also need to be treated like ants under a magnifying glass on a sunny day. Dare I say, "Cook 'em Danno!"?

Hats off to Steve for fighting for a natural organic agriculture.
Basic crime committed by GM farmer is not knowing much of the implications of the contract signed with seed co and also the contamination the seed will cause to the nature.
GM farmers and their supporters may not have their livess to realise as the grand kids will not know who caused the mess of nature including degradation of child producing capacity of men and women due to consumsion of non-natural grains.
If u have chance please read the book "World according to Monsanto…" by Marie-Monique Robin, which details the contaminated agri of US
John May 28, 2014 at 9:02 pm
Heartbroken to hear today's announcement. Where is the justice in this outcome! My wish is for the Australian people & organic businesses to appeal. Public opinion is behind Steve. Morality is the foundation of his case. GM is a big, expensive scam!! I back Steve and real, safe food. Let's keep up the fight.
Ausbloke June 3, 2014 at 3:32 am
The problem is there are so many little minority groups in on this…. we need the big organic guys to fight for Steve also…. and also not the small guys fight it alone…. combine together…. I'm seeing so many little groups popping up here and there (which is good in it's own way) but need to get together and unite for stuff like this.
wm September 12, 2014 at 6:13 am
how do I know if my donation to Steve via SFfoundation gets to steve? Any way to Send directly to Steve.
Jo Brierley January 9, 2015 at 10:17 am
Is this campaign still current? Is there an open fundraising campaign i can contribute too? cheers and hny xx
graham wells March 17, 2015 at 3:49 pm
how can Steve expect to keep anything (let alone the GM canola seed ) from blowing in across that landscape?? I suggest he has gone Organic in unsuitable situation.
Murray March 24, 2015 at 7:26 am
The government needs to change the land zoning laws, like you have residential, industrial, commercial land use in the built environment.
The governement allowed GM crops so they should have to pay compensation to Steve and relocate him to land where Gm crops are not allowed in the area.
– Not idea but if GM cropping is not going away it needs to be contained..

I have written a detailed response to the WA newspaper about Monsanto.
I am studying Biology at the University of Southern Queensland and Genetics is a major unit.
Monsanto is known world wide as a recalcitrant and corrupt organisation.
The only way to combat this company is to fight by not buying any of its products otherwise Agent Orange will be with us forever.
Kind regards.

Have set up a fund on Go Fund Me for Steve…
Does anyone have Steve's contact details…?
Assuming funds are raised… I want to make sure they go to him and his wife.

Maroon 5 Drop New Single 'Maps' [LISTEN]by Michelle McGahan | PopCrush
Maroon 5 just dropped their newest song, 'Maps' — the first single from their upcoming album, 'V.'
Adam Levine puts those trademark falsetto vocals to work on the upbeat track, belting out the chorus with a fervor:
"All the roads you took came back to me / So I'm following the map that leads to you," he sings. "The map that leads to you / Ain't nothing I can do / The map that leads to you…"
Though the chorus sounds sweet, the rest of the verses actually paint a darker picture — one of a lover abandoning her boyfriend.
"I was there for you in your darkest times / I was there for you in your darkest nights," Levine croons. "But I wonder where were you when I was at my worst / Down on my knees, and you said you had my back / So I wonder where were you?"
The fast-paced, drum-heavy song will be featured on 'V,' which is set to drop on September 2. Listen to it above!

The United States of America is a country whose state is organized as a "Police State of Law", which is very different from "a democratic state", as is the case in Brazil. It's a shame so much police brutality. The Brazil was well in time of military dictatorship.
Looking forward, eager that this great nation, The Canada, mounted on his exemplary tradition of justice, uphold the couple Quaid, and not let them beat the "abuse of law" that the victims are being Randy Quaid and your wife.
It is our prayer.
Because of Justice and The International Law.
It is our Legal Opinion.

Samsung's phone call-making 8in tablet – the Galaxy Note 8.0 – might look silly next to most Team Stuff faces, but press it to the ear of the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man, BFG or Jolly Green Giant and everything starts to make sense.
We're being facetious, of course, and in fact 7in and 8in tabs are fast becoming popular with far more than a ragtag band of fictional giants, with even normal-sized people realising that this can be a cheaper way of getting your fill of apps, movies and messaging on the fly than the latest flagship phone.
Samsung's recipe is an obvious and sensible one – take the multi-tasking friendly, S Pen-rocking Galaxy Note 10.1, shrink it to iPad Mini-size and add a pumped up quad-core processor, cheaper price tag and SIM card/3G-friendly model. Sounds super to us.
design and build
The Note 8.0 looks and feels exactly how you'd expect if you've owned or played with a Galaxy S3, Galaxy Note 2 or Galaxy Note 10.1. That is, a shiny, white plastic body that's light and comfortable, with curved lines and faux-metallic details. It feels more solid than the Note 10.1 but still creaks and flexes more than aluminium slates from Apple and Sony. Those My First Tablet touches mean you're unlikely to be drawing envious glances in the coffee shop, but at least you won't be too precious to chuck this Sammy tab straight into your bag.
On the front of the device it's the same set-up as the Galaxy S3 – a Home button with capacitive Back and Settings buttons either side. The power and volume buttons are on the right-hand edge, just a headphone jack up top, and on the left you've got a microSD card slot. We tested the Wi-Fi only model of the Note 8.0 but you'll also find a SIM card slot on the 3G model.
At first glance the Note 8.0's big white bezels make it feel bigger than the almost identically sized (but slimmer and lighter) iPad Mini. But you can still grab it one-handed without too much trouble – we also found ourselves holding it by the bottom right corner or resting the tab in one hand while using the S Pen with the other.
An 8in screen such as the Note 8.0's propels it from a device purely for media consumption (such as the Nexus 7) to something made to get work done, yet also makes it a more useful size than the 10in Galaxy Note for replacing your trusty pen and paper double act. Borrowing Smart Stay from the Galaxy S3 also means that the Note 8.0's display won't time out when you're looking at it.
It's a lovely 1280x800 screen with good contrast, vibrant colours (which can be muted with the 'movie' screen mode) and a 16:9 ratio that works just as well for watching movies as it does for using two apps side by side via Multi-Window. With Full HD screens coming up through the ranks this year, though, text does show up the Note 8.0's resolution with a little fuzziness on close inspection. The iPad Mini suffers similarly, of course, but where Apple's dinky tablet screen is a clear winner is in its colours, which are more neutral and natural than the slightly orangey reds and questionable skin tones of the Note 8.0.
OS and features
Running on Android Jelly Bean 4.1, Samsung has loaded up the Note 8.0 with many of its recent mobile tech treats. With the usual inviting set of widgets, homescreens and pre-installed apps, plus a keyboard that's fast and easy to type with, the standouts are Multi-Window and Page Buddy.
The first is fantastic and much smoother in operation than on the Note 10.1 – long-pressing the back button brings up 20 or so compatible apps which can be used side-by-side or one up, one down onscreen. This multi-tasking feature now supports Chrome, Gmail, YouTube, Maps and MX Player as well as Samsung's own apps, making it much more useful than it was perviously.
Page Buddy is also really neat – just forgive the name and the annoying "enjoy listening to your device" messages. It works by bringing up customisable homescreens when you plug in earphones, unsheath the S Pen or dock the Note 8.0. So stick your headphones in and you can add apps like Spotify or Netflix to the screen alongside the built in music and video players.
performance and camera
Put it this way, the Note 8.0 is speedy and smooth – whether you're careering around Asphalt 7 or watching an HD movie on one half of the screen while planning your escape via Google Maps on the other. With a 1.6GHz quad-core Exynos chip at the wheel plus 2GB of RAM, that's not exactly a surprise, but Samsung should be given credit for tightening up the Note tablet experience and a Geekbench score of 2132 is certainly not to be sniffed at, even if the Note 8.0 was also acting like a water bottle while it thrashed through the test.
Wi-Fi connectivity is good and Bluetooth pairing is swift. Its two speakers sound average but are located on the bottom edge of the tab, which means that in landscape you're likely to cover one up. The 5MP rear camera too is usable but not great: colours look washed out and detail is disappointing even when snapping in broad daylight – especially compared to the photo skills of the iPad Mini.
S Pen
As with the Note 10.1, you'll use the S Pen more than you'd first think. There's a tidy little slot in the bottom right-hand corner for it, and it's a thin, lightweight stylus rather than a chunky toy, making it a pleasure to use for Sketchbook Mobile Express, Photoshop and note-taking.
When using the handwriting recognition in the S Note app, the Note 8.0's screen cleverly ignores the palm of your hand to avoid messy scrawls. Choose from writing freehand, converting your scrawls to text or simply inputting text via the keyboard, but be warned: you'll have to go slowly and correct mistakes as you go along if you plump for the writing-to-text option.
as a phone
We've been testing the Wi-Fi only Note 8.0 model so can't comment on call quality or battery life with 3G. There are currently no contract prices for the Note 8.0 from the networks, either, but we'll be sure to give the 3G model the Stuff review treatment as soon as we can lay our hands on one.
We do know that the SIM-friendly model has extra multi-tasking features so you can browse the web or take notes while chatting. Just make sure you grab a Bluetooth headset with your tab.
Battery life
Battery life is very good indeed and the Note 8.0 will last eight to nine hours of regular gaming, TV show-bingeing, WhatsApping and emailing. Plus, if you need to stretch out the Note 8.0's massive 4600mAh battery even further you can choose between CPU and screen power saving modes and turn off haptic feedback.
Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 vs iPad Mini
Considering the Galaxy Note 8.0 is RM700 more expensive than the 16GB iPad Mini, it's a tough sell. The Apple tab wins hands down for build quality and apps (they're generally better quality, optimised and better-looking on the App Store). But the Note 8.0 feels less like a gorgeous device to own and brag about and more a tablet to use – if stylus input is a big draw and multi-tasking a must, this is a better bet than the iPad. Only the below-par 5MP cam and bizarrely high price tag let it down – just remember that for RM1.099 you can get a grippy-backed, first-to-be-updated 3G Nexus 7.
This is a much more exciting prospect than the Note 10.1 in terms of form factor, performance and price. Forget the gimmick of making calls – no-one's actually going to do that more than once or twice – and focus on what this really is: an easy-to-use, everyday tablet with value-added stylus and a very good screen. If only this multi-tasking and note-taking powerhouse was also a little bit cheaper.

2014 NAIA Softball Players of the Week ? No. 3
By: Sam Knehans, Communications & Sports Information Intern
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Bree Crampton of Madonna (Mich.) has been named the NAIA Softball National Pitcher of the Week and Abbey Wilmes of Grand View (Iowa) has been selected as the National Player of the Week, the national office announced Tuesday. Crampton and Wilmes were selected based on their performances from March 24 – 30 and were chosen out of a pool of conference, independent and unaffiliated group winners.
Crampton, a New Baltimore, Mich., native, went 3-0 on the week, striking out 25 batters and allowing just two hits over 14 innings pitched. The junior opened her week with an 8-0 five-inning shutout of NCAA Division III Albion (Mich.) on March 28, striking out 10 batters in the contest. She then threw her second perfect game of the season against Siena Heights (Mich.) on March 29—again striking out 10 over five innings in the first game of a double-header—before coming back to pitch in game two, striking out seven in four innings of work. For the week, Crampton did not allow a run and held opposing batters to a .045 batting average.
On the season, Crampton ranks among the top 25 nationally in strikeouts per nine innings (3rd, 11.25), walks allowed per nine innings (6th, .60), total strikeouts (12th, 113), saves (16th, 2), earned run average (19th, 1.09) and total walks allowed (24th, 6).
Wilmes, a native of Des Moines, Iowa, helped Grand View to a 7-1 record on the week. The sophomore hit .579, accumulating 11 hits in 19 at-bats. She had four doubles and four home runs on the week, scoring nine runs and driving in 16. Her best performance came in the Vikings' 10-2 win over Mount Mercy (Iowa) on March 30 in the first game of a double-header. Wilmes went 2-for-3 with two home runs, two runs and four RBIs in the game. On the heels of Wilmes' performances last week, Grand View stayed perfect (6-0) in Midwest Collegiate Conference play.
On the year, Wilmes ranks among the top 25 nationally in fielding percentage (1st, 1.000) and slugging percentage (22nd, .839).

Altered Embargoes
Occasionally the author of an ETD requests an extended embargo, usually due to pending publication. Here are the steps of this process:
1) These requests come via the graduate school, where they are considered and authorized, to the Head of Cataloging and Metadata, via email.
2) The Head of Cataloging and Metadata communicates the request to the Metadata Librarian and Head of Digital Services.
3) The Metadata Librarian suppresses the link (to the full text) in the MARC 856 field, in both Voyager and WorldCat, and adds a restriction note.
4) The Head of Digital Services modifies the database entry (in InfoTrack.bornDigital on libcontent1 server) for the document to update the new DateAvailable (so the content will be automatically unembargoed at the correct date) and adds an exception note.
Example SQL queries:
A) First, locate the correct entry (here the author's name is Braun):
select * from bornDigital where lastName like "Braun";
B) Then update:
update bornDigital set dateAvailable="2017-01-01", exceptions="PDF embargoed on 1/23/12 per graduate school but catalog record released; update existing record" where dnum=180;
5) The Head of Digital Services then deletes all reference to this item in the online delivery system. This is a server-side command on libcontent1 which deletes the specified item directory and all within it. In the following example, the item deleted is u0015_0000001_0000153:
rm -r /srv/www/htdocs/content/u0015/0000001/0000153


text: Monday, December 3 will be mostly sunny with the high around 55. Winds will be from the north, northwest at 21-31 mph. In the afternoon, they will decrease to 11-21 mph. Gusts up to 40 mph are possible. Monday night will be mostly clear with the low around 30. The winds will be calm at first, but after midnight they will be from the west, southwest at 5-7 mph.

Music expresses that which can not be positioned into phrases and can't stay silent. Les Misérables is a French historic novel by way of Victor Hugo, first published in 1862, that is taken into consideration one of the finest novels of the 19th century. Les Misérables is also known as The Miserable Ones. The tale starts in 1815 in Digne, additionally called Digne-les-Bains is a commune of France. The novel follows the lives and interactions of numerous characters, particularly the struggles of ex-convict Jean Valjean and his revel in of redemption. It is a humanitarian work that explores society's mistreatment of the bad specifically ladies and emphasizes the redemptive powers of affection and compassion.
The film specializes in the life of Jean Valjean who became imprisoned because of stealing a bread for his sister, he additionally however broke his parole. Javert attempted to seek him. But Jean Valjean met a clergyman who gave him silvers to start a new existence & he have become the town's mayor. A grisette named Fantine became very an awful lot in love with Félix, the men abandon her. Fantine have to draw on her own resources to care for her and Tholomyès' daughter, Cosette. She leaves Cosette within the care of the Thénardiers, a corrupt innkeeper and his selfish, cruel wife. Fantine is unaware that they're abusing her daughter. She is later fired from her process at Jean Valjean's manufacturing facility, due to the discovery of her daughter, who become born out of wedlock. In desperation, Fantine sells her hair and two front teeth, and she resorts to prostitution to pay the Thénardiers. Fantine is slowly loss of life from an unspecified disorder Valjean stored Fantine & they went to the clinic until she died. Valjean adopted Cosette and that they went to Paris. Javert determined their region. One day, Marius saw Cosette within the park & they both fell in love at the beginning sight. Eponine is blindly in love with Marius. At Marius' request, she finds Valjean and Cosette's residence for him and regrettably leads him there. Marius watches the house for some days. He and Cosette then finally meet and claim their love for each other. Marius falls in with a group of radical students and fabric difficulties boom his unhappiness such as the Thénardiers' eldest son Gavroche, who is a road urchin. Marius and his fellow college students nonetheless stand their ground and vow to fight for freedom and democracy. They discover that Javert is a spy, whilst the military launches its first attack in opposition to the scholars; Eponine throws herself in the front of a rifle to store Marius. Then Eponine dies in Marius's fingers. Javert let cross Valjean to send Marius to his grandfather. Valjean arrives on the barricade and at once saves a person's lifestyles. Marius recognizes Valjean at the beginning sight. When Gavroche goes outside the barricade to collect extra ammunition from the dead National Guardsmen, he's shot by the troops. Then javert commits suicide by throwing his self into the seine. Marius slowly recovers from his injuries. As he and Cosette make wedding ceremony preparations. After the marriage, Valjean confesses to Marius that he's an ex-convict. Marius attempts to save you Cosette to Valjean, but meanwhile Marius realized that Valjean shop his life. They hurry as much as Valjean, and arrive to discover Valjean near demise and are reconciled with him. Valjean tells Cosette her mom's story and name. He dies content and is buried under in Père Lachaise Cemetery.
The movie confirmed how Women are handled way lower back then. Fantine being worn down, selling the entirety she has, relating to her lack of desire because of her choice to assist her infant, attaining a factor of desperation. Fantine also illustrates the plight of single moms. Fantine struggles to make ends meet to pay for Cossette who lives with the grasping and villanious Thenardiers, at the fee of her own fitness as she subsequently receives sick with tuberculosis. In the character of Fantine the author also suggests that that the general public of ladies does not "select" it but are compelled into it. Sexual slavery and oppression aren't merely in records books. Women today face poverty, trafficking, home abuse, rape, attack.
At first, it's far difficult to truely discover any of the characters on this novel. But the variety of characters and their moral standings is great, and to even completely parent out the concept manner of 1 character may want to take a lifetime of concept. The movie is so properly and I suppose that each person who will watch it's going to honestly like it, I can feel all the emotion and worry as it passes through the minds of each of the characters. The film confirmed the unequal treatment of the government from the poor and it is based totally on their magnificence degree & how they battled for equality so we'd say that Les Miserables is a relatable film due to the fact even up to these days we're still battling for equality, and of course how women have become depressing in the past due to the fact like equality, women are misjudged and some aren't given a chance due to their fame in existence.

The Denver Convention & Visitors Bureau reports that Denver Restaurant Week has seen steady growth since its inception in 2005. This year, participating restaurants served 335,580 meals (up from 298,200 meals last year) during the Feb-March promotion. There were 282 restaurants involved this year, up from 224 last year.
Minor caveat: The event lasted two weeks this year, up from one "official" week last year (though 175 restaurants voluntarily extended the deals an extra week in 2009). So, more restaurants were offering the deal for more time, which explains at least some of the uptick in numbers of meals served.
But the bottom line: More people got off their couches to visit more restaurants for more meals this year during the event, helping to preserve more jobs. All in all, good for the city.

Magimix by Robot-Coupe Food Processor & Juice Extractor Giveaway
I am so excited to be giving away a Magimix Robot-Coupe Food Processor, 12-cup in Chrome
Model 3200XL, suggested retail price, $450.00
Magimix food processors are in a class all their own.
Robot-Coupe, the French company that developed and invented the first food processor over 40 years ago, applies the technology in their present-day commercial models to this high-performance processor for home use.
The machines are still handmade in Burgundy, France. They are the only company that makes their own motors and there is a 12 year motor warranty.
The motor automatically adjusts power and speed to suit the job at hand.
These machines are incredibly powerful and extra-quiet.
My Magimix is so smooth, so quiet; it's a kitchen
black chrome stallion. It shreds, chops, and pulverizes like nobody's business. It's the nicest food processor I've ever used and a true workhorse that I will have for decades.
There is a trio of nested work bowls in various sizes, and Robot-Coupe was the first to invent nested bowls.
The small bowl is nice for mining herbs, chopping nuts, or blending a sauce.
The medium bowl is ideal for slicing and grating.
The large bowl handles prep jobs like mixing batters, kneading dough, or slicing a large batch of vegetables.
I made Homemade Peanut Butter using the large bowl in 5 minutes
Yes, there was a reason for that peanut butter: so I could show you this amazing food processor and what a great job it does!
The razor-sharp Sabatier staineless steel blades and discs can handle just about any task, including crushing ice.
The extra-large feed tube eliminates the need to pre-cut most ingredients, which is such a time saver.
The removable parts are dishwasher safe.
The machine comes with a variety of accessories, discs, and tools:
- 6-cup, 10-cup and 12-cup mixing bowls.
- 2 metal Sabatier blades, one for small bowl, and one for medium and large bowls.
- Dough blade.
- 2 grating discs.
- 2 slicing discs.
- Blender Mix attachment.
- Egg whisk.
- Spatula.
- Recipe book of 110 recipes and DVD.
- Storage box.
Everything can be neatly stored in this toolbox with attached lid.
This toolbox is so handy and functional, both in preventing uber-sharp discs and blades from just rolling around your cupboards and it keeps things organized and from getting misplaced.
Also included in the giveaway is the
Magimix by Robot-Coupe Food Processor Juice Extractor & Smoothie Attachment, suggested retail price, $79.95
This attachment transforms the food processor into a juicer and smoothie maker.
For additional product specs and information, visit Magimix's website
