Australian Story
Tony Coote, Founder and Chairman, Mulloon Institute, NSW - Interview Transcript
PROGRAM TRANSCRIPT: Monday, 30 April , 2012
When I heard about what was happening on Wooleen station and that David and Frances were in the situation they were in and they were absolutely dedicated to repairing that landscape, even though they may not see huge results in their own lifetime even, I then decided on behalf of the Mulloon Institute (which I founded a few years ago, which is a philanthropic organisation for the benefit of rehabilitating land so we can all survive better into the future generations, way beyond our grand children's grand children) - So when I heard about this couple who really put everything on the line to restore such a huge part of Australia's landscape, I thought it would be worthwhile for Peter Andrews to go there and have a look... even though others have and made wonderful contributions because of the experience I've had with Peter. (His work on our property) is all measured by the Australian National University and it's quite clear that very quickly we've had amazing results and all of this can be adapted to other climatic areas certainly in Australia, there's no question about that.
I put him at the very top of the great scientists in doing this hydrological work and the results speak for themselves.
I was introduced to Peter about seven years ago and I could see from his long experience all his life actually working on the land - and on the land in arid areas - I could see he understood it so well and everything we discussed just made sense. Not necessarily, you don't hear it the first time, but when you ask the questions that's when you learn about it, and then having worked with him on the ground in the paddock if you like, that's when I was getting it and I could see you could be the best farmer on the planet, but you can't do it unless your land is hydrated. And what this is about is rehydrating our land. We know our bodies can't work unless they're hydrated and animals can't and plants can't, but we forget the fact that the land we walk on in this country is severely dehydrated generally and it's not going to be fixed just with a few bouts of rainfall. We have to get it into the right, into the fabric of the soil and the landscape, and it can be done, it is being done.
I must first of all say it isn't just about the rivers and creeks themselves, it's about the connection of the channel and the riparian zone and the flood plain. It's about the restoration of all of the flood plains in this country. What you see in a creek or a river its only what you see. It's a bit like the iceberg theory that's just what you see. That actually represents generally the level of the water under the whole flood plain. So now that our creeks and rivers over all these years have become so eroded and they're channeled down into the landscape where the water level is way down, then that's the level of the water under the whole flood plain and so when we get all this back up again, that's raising the water level under all of the flood plains in Australia. The water will then not be flowing away out to sea going past everybody's farm and doing nothing at all, and all of the flood plains will be hydrated and we won't need nearly as much irrigation as we've had to have, because all of the plants, the deep rooted plants have their feet in hydrated, moist, healthy soil.
Now it's also important to know that this is a flood control system as much as a drought control system because if we have say a million kilometres of rivers in Australia, we used to have two million kilometres of spillways. In other words, the banks of the rivers and the water would be very close to the surface in ponds and then when the rains came it would just rise very gently and just flow over all the flood plains and sink in very quickly and all it did was good.
Now we have because of the erosion that's occurred from the grazing practices and a number of things we don't have time for now, the water is channeled into these channels. It's getting deeper and deeper and deeper below the banks. If you channel water into a space it's going to go faster and faster just logical and so when the big rains come, the water goes faster and faster and faster in the channels. It doesn't get out there until it bursts out somewhere and then does massive damage and all of these huge damaging floods that we've had would never have happened many, many years ago before we caused all this to happen. So this is a flood control mechanism, because what is done in the channel itself by Peter with the biology and the plants and putting in some leaky structures that don't stop the flow, but let the bed build up with sediment and let the water level build up, helps to control the floods, because when water is held in ponds it doesn't go anywhere.
Water only floods and rushes when it has somewhere to go and we don't have anything to slow it down in our rivers now, so the water goes faster and faster and faster and bursts out and takes all the salt with it 'cause the salt layer has been cut through 'cause it's down deep, it's cut through and then when the floods come it picks up the salt as well and throws that over the country and that becomes a massive issue. And it can all be fixed.
Its like eating an elephant; you just take one bite at a time, so you just take on what you can manage in bits.
I have a friend who has been in Western Australia for three generations in similar country but larger area, who has recently been to Mulloon Creek and seen the work that Peter Andrews has created here. Now what he has said to me, having come from Western Australia and having been so anxious to do this restoration work for so many years, he said everything that Peter has been able to do here, we can adapt those principles to that wider country over there. So it's not a matter of just lifting it up and putting it somewhere else, it's a matter of taking the principles of it and then adapting those to the country with the different plants that can be used and the different structures that can be put in, and it's still the same principle. And that's the good thing about Peter's work, it can be adapted to a number of these different situations, and I know that from hard on the ground experience.
I've seen the footage of the enviro rolls that David has been using and I think it's a wonderful attempt to be doing what they're doing, and I can't say whether it is going to work or not. I'd say it will work as part of the solution. But I think an important thing to remember about Peter's work, it's a biological solution you're looking for in the end, not an engineering solution, so you do have to start off with some sort of engineering structures and the enviro rolls might work beautifully. Maybe it could be done less expensively, hopefully it could be. I think Peter would probably come up with something there, and others may too. The important thing is to get the plants in there and plants that will survive and plants that animals are not going to eat.
There's a lot of dogma and fear about what people call weeds. This needs a lot of rethinking throughout our country and it's a major issue. When you look at a plant, you need to look at why the plant is there. Why did nature create the plant to be there and how can we help nature, seeing we've gone in there and messed it up so much... I'm talking about several generations what can we now introduce to let it repair again and not have the fear that it's going to overrun the whole country, because it won't. If it does, then it means we're doing something else wrong, because it's restoring the soil. Under a so called weed like a blackberry, for example, you always find humus that it's created.
So it's then a matter of seeing what then else goes with it to create a balance and it will be amazing. All sorts of native things that then come up and these introduced plants are really a step. It's a natural sequence, one step at a time. One comes in to fix it and then that gradually disappears. Weeds will disappear 'cause they're bringing up all sorts of minerals and things, and then when they've done their job, they'll disappear. If they stay there, it's because we haven't managed it properly.
We haven't discouraged any weeds. When the work was done on Mulloon Creek it was set up as an experiment and with the other stakeholders, which is the Catchment Management Authority, and the Federal Government for some funding, and also the landcare movement. So we had everybody that had a stake in what could happen to a river or creek or a flood plain system, involved, and so we experimented by not getting rid of any weeds and things. We found it hasn't been a problem. The willows that were supposed to spread everywhere have not spread. We've had willows there for 30 years and they've never spread downstream, and all the weeds that we've let go, especially blackberries - blackberries are holding the banks together. They're providing habitat for little birds so the big birds don't kill 'em, because we've knocked off so much of our vegetation so the big birds eat the little birds. So that's been fixed.
And we can control our blackberries, there are ways if you want to control them in the paddocks, you don't have to use sprays and poisons and if you want to, you can control them, and we do.
Peter Andrews is an irascible genius, intuitive performing artist and we probably need more of those than we do scientists now. Scientists are doing a fabulous job. We have a science advisory board ourselves and we need the scientists, but don't expect them to lead. Its people like Peter that are in the lead and we can't let this work go. The science is following and proving now that what he has been saying and what he's demonstrated is correct and we absolutely need this otherwise we will not be able to hand anything but a continually eroding destroying landscape to the future generations.
Peter's done work in every climatic zone in this country.
I've always said about Peter that he's not (and I've said it to him myself) he's not a great teacher, but you can learn so much from him. The way he expresses things because his mind is working at such a high level of knowledge on this subject, that you often don't understand what he's saying, but if you ask the questions and keep coming back, that's when you get the answers and sometimes it takes time.
The condition of the land on my property, Mulloon Creek Natural Farms, on which the Mulloon Institute is situated, was that up to about 2006, it had become a deeply eroded, incised creek channel up to 10 metres deep cut into the landscape with very little vegetation around it, except willows that had been planted 30 years ago by the government. It has now (as a result of Peter Andrews work) become a chain of ponds where the water moves slowly. There's always water in the creek, it moves slowly through the vegetation and through the rocks and logs that we've set up like beaver dams, like leaky weirs and the scientific result has shown that first of all we are only holding back 0.2% of the water that goes through the creek.
Secondly, that even in the worst of the drought when there was no water coming in at the head of the valley and this is measured scientifically water was continually flowing out of the bottom of the valley during the worst of the drought. Now it is shown that there's more water going out of the system than coming in. The life in the water has been measured against a control several kilometres away in an area that has never been disturbed. The life in the water after 3 years was greater than it was in that control area, so we brought back the life in the water in three years what it took 150 years to destroy. That's how quickly you get a result. If you set up the right environment nature takes over, and this is what's happening.
Plus we're at the head waters of the Sydney catchment and we are sending pure, clean water downstream and neighbours are getting more water and more regular water and cleaner water downstream than they've ever had before.
I'm absolutely confident that it can be done (on Wooleen) and a start can be made with a proper plan and it doesn't have to be hugely expensive and if a big flood comes and something gets wiped out - if the structures get wiped out before the vegetation really gets established, it's not expensive to repair it. That's one of the key points (of Peters work). If you set up massive structures using concrete and all sorts of physical structures and think of it as an engineering solution, then if you've made a mistake. First of all, you can't afford to do it, because it's just prohibitively expensive. But if you're doing it the way Peter does it, if you get suddenly a big flood and some little structures blow out, you can repair it in like a day for very little cost until the vegetation and the biology starts coming back and then nature takes over and the next thing you've got your whole place vegetated.
50 kilometres wouldn't worry me in the slightest. Even in our own case we've done, say, 5 kilometres and the plan for the next stage is to do the rest of the system down through other properties and it will go 50 kilometres.
The results come very, very quickly and it obviously depends a little on the season and how much rain you get, and you can get too much, of course, as well as too little. The results in our case came we could see it within one year and that was during drought. When we got a bit more moisture, it was extraordinary, just literally in three years.
An arid climate would always be, I think, a challenge. 200mls (of rainfall) can do an awful lot if it's at the right time and when you're ready for it to happen. But it's a cumulative effect. On the land in Australia, we seem to rely so much on thinking that the only thing that saves us is rain. There's actually a lot more to hydration than rain. It's the dew that comes, and it's the fogs that you create and all of this comes from vegetation and that only comes from soil that is hydrated so that you can get the vegetation. Once you get it, it's like priming a pump once you get it started it starts to take over and then you get this cumulative effect.
The Mulloon Institute is a philanthropic organisation, not for profit set up by me a few years ago to do on the ground research and education, experiential education into ways to rehabilitate landscapes and grow food for the benefit of future generations beyond our grand children's grand children, and the farms can't be sold, because they've been put in a structure whereby when I decide to leave the planet one day, the farms go into the institute. So this work can go on and on and on.
I felt for a long time it's terribly important that we have working models on the ground that have been monitored properly and can show that these systems of rehabilitating landscape to be able to grow food sustainably, work. If those models are set up properly, these working models, then they can be then adapted into all sorts of situations in other parts of the country, and in our case it's very fortunate we're one of the few situations in the world really where we have this education research institute actually on the farm. So the work happens there and that's where the model's created and then we work out the principles with our science advisory board et cetera as to how these can be adapted out into other areas.
I feel strongly that people like David Pollock and others of that generation in this country, these incredible farmers and graziers who are doing so much to lay everything on the line to rehabilitate our landscape, and be able to grow food from it as well, should be encouraged. And that's why I thought Peter Andrews should be able to go over there and provide some advice to these guys.
And also to encourage them to keep going. There must be so many times, like we've all been through in our lives where we just want to give up. "Is it worth it?" And encourage these guys to keep going and going. Those that get out in the lead end up with arrows in their back, of course, but that's a special type of person. Those of us who have been there and know what it's like still keep going and that's why I know they will keep going and then these are the leaders that others will follow. We have to have leaders. We need a lot of followers, of course, but we have to have these leaders and the ones that get out there and set the example.
Peter having returned from there has told me of his experience and how challenging it is, but how it can be done, how he admires these people for what they're doing and he wants to encourage them. That's what his life's about, to encourage people to get out and do these things.
Anybody that understands Peter's work admires him tremendously. I don't want to say that Peter is the only person in this country that can do anything, that would be wrong, but he certainly is a person... despite what people might feel about his personality, he is, he's really a living hero in this country and we've just got to recognise that in a very matter of fact way. That's the way it is and we would be very stupid to ignore what he's doing and not try and study what's behind it. The scientists are doing it now in our case, and it's been proven that these theories are right.
Peter Andrews is extremely well known. Anybody in land restoration work knows of him. There are hundreds of thousands of people who've heard him speak and want to follow his work. They don't know how, because unfortunately in this country we have disenabling legislation that doesn't allow so much of this work to go ahead because the law and the regulations were put in practice when there wasn't this understanding, but that's changing, too. In this period of time that I've been involved with Peter and others would say the same thing, not just me we've seen tremendous change occurring, and the science is being shown to be right. Those that put their names on the line in periodicals and publications and things that were now proven to be not correct because of this new knowledge, are now slipping away because they're retiring or whatever and the newer ones are coming on and even a lot of the older ones too are saying,
"Well, this is new knowledge we didn't have before and we need to recognise it and let's get on with it." We don't have a lot of time.
There's work being done on a curriculum to teach Peter Andrews work. There are those looking at the regulations to modify the regulations to ensure that they are enabling rather than disenabling. There are models being set up of his work. There's a huge shift in the catchment management authorities of recognising that these things will work, and they have to work because the old ways of doing it are just destroying the landscape more, especially pulling willows out of rivers, and so there's been this enormous change and appreciation. So it has come a long way very, very quickly. I'm quite encouraged by it, as long as Peter can stay with it and keep going.
I've seen him dismissed as a madman by a number of people, usually because he's upset them and they don't understand and they haven't actually gone to the trouble to see for themselves how it works and I don't like to see that happening, but that's turning around a lot now.
This destruction of the landscape, like the destruction of our food, has happened in a... and the conventional ways of farming in this way and treating landscape is a very short period of history really, but it's done a lot of damage. But the thing is we've got the people and we've got this incredible creativity and ability to change it, and Australia's the place to do it, because we can get things done quickly and Australia is, in fact, leading the world in this. We are punching way above our own weight.
We need more of the David Pollocks of the world ... actually we've got more of them, too.
We're turning our country into desert no doubt about that and it won't be able to grow food and that will spread throughout the whole country just like happened in North Africa and around the Mediterranean. That was the fertile crescent there once... but the vegetation was destroyed, then the food was destroyed and that's what's happened to past civilisations and it will happen to our civilisation and we're just fast tracking it. And we can do something about it, though, 'cause we've got the means to be able to do it.
David Pollock doesn't have the means, the mining companies do and I really feel that we're going to see them coming into the picture more and more to do something very, very important for Australia.
Im confident that these principles if adapted to their particular situation can work anywhere in the world. Ah it, I think in this case the steps to take would be to do a proper study of the area by experts who could be brought in to do so, and I would include Peter Andrews in that if possible. And then come up with a strategic plan of where the picture of where it should get to eventually, and that might be 30 or 40 years, and then work back like proper strategic planning from that point back to then what can be done now to start with.
And the cost of it will probably need to be met by government, which after all owns the land anyway, for the benefit of future generations. But Im absolutely confident that it can be done.
I think following on the experience of the model that weve created here - and the organisational model is as important as the physical model - how you go about organising the specialists and the talented people and how you bring in the required horsepower to do it, which probably means bringing in students to do PhDs and things and to do studies. But to come up with a proper strategic plan and put all the bits together and then, and then have it monitored as you go along. And therell be changes that will have to be made too. Its a bit like setting up a huge development, like a big mining development or something, and this is going to last over a long period of time.
And you take all the steps to make it happen. Youd have a project manager probably, or a project management team who would manage the project over that time. Itd all be costed properly over a long period of time. But this is so important for this country. Were talking now about whats going to be done with all of the income were getting from the mining in Australia. Well why not bring it from under the ground and use the funds to regenerate our landscape, because thats whats going to sustain the future generations of this country. At the moment its been so degraded by generations of doing the wrong thing but still with great, good intention. But we now know what the problem is, we now know that we can do something about it, and we need to take on the challenge in this country to do it. And thats where I challenge government because its government representing the people that represents the interests of the future generations.
And this is a major thing that needs to be tackled now, and Im putting that challenge actually to government in Western Australia and the national government as well, federal government, to take on this task in a proper way. There are millions and millions and millions of hectares in this country, especially in Western Australia, that can be rehabilitated and need to be re-rehabilitated, and they can feed so many people in the future by doing this.
I think its absolutely amazing that these guys at their age and their experience have put themselves on the line to take on this challenge, which is huge. And it must be very difficult for them to be able to even envision that a government could come in and really help. But we have a public service to serve the public. They serve us, and and there are people in government who love to do this sort of thing and take on the challenge, so long as they can be given guidance as to what they need to do. And I think thats the way forward, and but David and Frances are like possibly a number of great people in this country who at that age can see how important it is, but they give up because they theyve gotta earn a living and nobodys there to help them.
We took on the challenge of asking Peter Andrews to get involved in rehydrating our floodplain here, because it was in such a disastrous state. And that was a risk, and the authorities that we had to work with, the Catchment Management Authority representing the state government, and some funding that came from the federal government, and the Landcare movement around here were all involved. We were all taking a risk. I said, look, we could stuff up five kilometres of one creek in the whole of Australia. Is that going to matter? If it doesnt work, is it going to make any difference? So they took on the challenge, we all took it on together, and now we know its worked. So this becomes a model from which we can use the principles to take out into other parts of Australia.
Theres a huge demand out there for this to happen, and now were getting so much cooperation from government, from the catchment management authorities who are now interested. And they just want to know how to do it, and then theyll go and do it. Itll just make such a difference to this country. I see a lot of hope here.
David and Frances are like the young pioneers that actually developed this country in the first place. And these people need to be supported. They cant do it on their own. They need to be supported by each of the stakeholders involved, which is mainly the government, because they own the land after all, but they need to be supported with money from private institutions, from banks for example, from the mining companies possibly. So long as its all done professionally and properly what a great start when youve got people so enthusiastic about getting it going. And they can coordinate other people because they are young leaders and thats what we need in this country. So lets encourage them.
Its people like David and Frances that are so important in this whole movement forward for us. And sometimes they dont recognise how important they are either. Now they know they have a responsibility, they dont quite know how to go about it because it can be overwhelming. Im talking about not just David but a lot of others as well, so lets give them a leg up. And its the leaders that we need to develop, because the followers will follow. And the followers are terribly important, but you dont have that many leaders, and theyre the ones that we need to encourage, because you dont have to give them too much and theyll just take it and run.

National Conference on Ending Family & Youth Homelessness
Thursday, February 21, 2013–Friday, February 22, 2013
Big things are happening. New tools are in place. There are new ways of thinking about and addressing the problem. And the need for effectiveness couldn't be greater. The National Alliance to End Homelessness invites everyone involved to come together in Seattle in February, to be part of the 2013 National Conference on Ending Family and Youth Homelessness, to learn, to share, and to encourage each other to take the next steps.
At the conference, participants can learn about the best solutions for the large and small problems we all face. Among the topics:
- Implementing HEARTH – HUD and other federal agencies will be well represented, and participants will be able to delve into the details of the new regulations and the first NOFA that fully implements the HEARTH Act.
- Replacing HPRP – This highly successful one-time program has ended, but communities have found all kinds of ways to continue providing the rapid re-housing and prevention services that HPRP introduced or expanded, and that have proven to be exactly what most homeless or near-homeless families need.
- Using mainstream programs – While HUD funds have been cut in the past two years, large mainstream antipoverty programs have maintained their federal funding. Some communities have found programs like TANF and Child Welfare to be an excellent fit for the rapid re-housing model, and have reduced family homelessness as a result.
- New initiatives from the federal government – With the election over, there will be new people in policymaking jobs in both the Administration and Congress, and new initiatives will be rolling out.
- A new vision for ending youth homelessness – the Alliance, along with partners at the national, state, and local levels, is pulling together the pieces of an effective, systemic approach to ending youth homelessness that can be put to work in community after community.
- The best work from leading communities – The importance of efficiency and cost-effectiveness has never been higher. Communities across the country are finding ways to re-house the largest possible number of families and youth with the resources they have available.
Together we have the expertise and knowledge to end family and youth homelessness. If we are to reconnect families and youth to housing, we must mobilize and coordinate responses among agencies, communities, policymakers and advocates. We must stand with homeless families, youth and others to maximize opportunities to combat homelessness and build a country where everyone has a place to call home.
We hope you will join us in Seattle, to move this mission forward.

Mint M - Hills Estates CA, USA - Apr 17, 2008
"I just wanted to let you know that I'm really glad to do business with you guys again. I've purchased from you outside of work as well and I'm amazed at the efficiency your company has. You can ship anywhere and on time. I ordered a gift basket for my father in California about three days before US thanksgiving and the basket made it on time! And I know that when I need to ship baskets internationally under tight deadlines, you guys can get it done. Truly. We've used other companies before where gifts containing fruits, wine, cheese, or even chocolates where held up at customs or the packages 'never' arrived. It's great to know that with your company, the baskets will arrive and I can just move on to other tasks."

How would knowing more about space change all our daily lives? We may never know until we do know more and there's an easy way to achieve that!
Turns out there is an amazing place on the web where there are countless videos, stunning images, and no end to the insights for ordinary people, all collected by the Hubble Telescope project.
Even if you are not a science geek at all, the wonders we discovered while doing our research for this article are jaw-dropping.
Have you heard about the recent discoveries and beauty of Hubble's new specialty: deep space?
In today's EWC article, we'll raise all our knowledge to something way above average and then you can explore yourself.
First, let's give that questions of how much we actually know about Hubble some thought.
My initial impulse was to assume everybody knew a fair amount, accept me.
But one night recently I was on a dock in Canada watching a spectacular display of the northern lights against a background of dazzling stars and we were all a little stunned about how little we knew about what we were watching. This was a group of fairly smart people and we all realized we had only vague notions about the universe and we all knew of the Hubble Telescope, but not much past the fact that it's doing some astounding science.
And then there's the "Time Machine" aspect to the images we are getting from Hubble. Now how is The Hubble Telescope a time machine? That was another wonder that all of us had completely missed!
So let's dig into this a bit. First, a little background knowledge to set the stage for today's exploration:
The Hubble Telescope was launched in 1990, and now in 2016 and after a few upgrades, we are getting views of the universe no one could have imagined.
Remember, in 1990, there was no World Wide Web, no GPS, no cloning technology, no email, and "social networking" meant showing up to every Church Potluck dinner and ice cream social.
Imagine how rudimentary computing was in 1990, and yet mankind managed to get a telescope into space that has been a workhorse for over a quarter of a century!
Here's a video to get us into the right frame of mind to explore this time machine concept:
Wonderful! Now we've got the basics.
So how big are the discoveries we've made with Hubble? Take 6 minutes to get a load of this!…
So a 25-year-old piece of space machinery has led us to the understanding of…
- The accelerating expansion of the universe
- Super Massive Black Holes in the centers of Galaxies
- Something called "Dark Matter' that may fill 70% of the universe
- The existence of countless planets much like our own
- Hubble may soon allow us to detect the signatures of life forms on distant planets
All that can be a little overwhelming for the average person to consider, but instead of opting out, I got curious.
Let's explore just a few of the seemingly endless videos from the Hubble project website.
Here's a short piece that brings in a few more cosmic concepts that give us the scope of why a space telescope is so special:
OK… I was following all this, so I kept going.
How is Hubble a Time Machine? Here's a short piece so we can appreciate this wonder:
And what about these "Deep Field" photographs from Hubble? Are they a milestone in human understanding?
Check this out! Here's the Extreme Field View:
This is great stuff!
I wasn't following everything, but I'm practically an astronomer compared to the knowledge I had when we started this little journey today!
This is a great base for more exploration, and at the very least, I'll browse the thousands of beautiful galactic images on NASA's Hubble Website. Go to a website called Hubblesite.org, and get lost in the endless photos, videos, links, apps, blogs and more related to the Hubble Telescope's mission and astronomy in general.
If you want to start somewhere on the Hubble project website, click here. I recommend the Hubble Image page that is constructed like a blog. The awe-inspiring images are explained in good detail and you learn a little with every wonder-inspiring article.
I don't know about you, but I'm conflicted: When we consider the infinite distances in the cosmos, it makes me feel incredibly small, powerless, and maybe even insignificant… but then when I come back to my place here on this spinning blue planet, I can't help but acknowledge that our words and actions can cause wrinkles in time – change the future, like ripples on a pond – and that we can each affect our own little corner of the universe.
All this seems to make minute to minute decisions seem overwhelmingly important and something at which I'll try to do better.
And now, by knowing more about this bit of cosmic real estate, I know so much more about myself!
Stay open, curious and hopeful!
~ Dr. Lynda

Chennai, Jul 7 (UNI) Taking their cue from Nalini, two more life convicts in the Rajiv Gandhi assasination case, Robert Pyas and Jayakumar, today moved the Madras High Court, seeking premature release.
In their petitions, the two Sri Lankan nationals, who were handed out life sentence by the Supreme Court, contended that life term meant 14 years of imprisonment. Since they had already served 17 years in jail they were entitled for early release.
The convicts, presently lodged in the Vellore Central Prison, along with other convicts, said their conduct in the prison was good and pleaded for early release.
When their petitions came up for hearing, Justice A Kulasekaran issued notices, returnable in two weeks, to the state government represented by the Home Department, the Vellore District Collector, who is heading the Advisory Board for premature release of life convicts, and the Superintendent of Vellore Central Prison.
They said Section 432 of CrPC empowered the state government to release the life convicts pre-maturely. But in their case the release was delayed due to the political sensitivity of the case.
They said during the last 17 years in jail, they were in solitary confinement which were violative of the orders passed by the Supreme Court.
Robert Pyas, in his petition, also submitted that he had obtained MA Degree from the Manonmaniam Sundaranar University during his confinement and there was no complaint against him.
The life convicts said the Advisory Board, after hearing their case for premature release, had not made any negative findings against them.
Allowing a person to languish in jail for his life was against the principles of basic human rights, they contended.

Monday, August 11, 2014 |
It often takes a long time to publish a book, but some writers are willing to wait 100 years to see their book in print (possibly with the help of cybernetic eyes).
As part of a special public art project commissioned by the Bjørvika Utvikling neighbourhood in Oslo, Norway, 1,000 trees have been planted that will supply the paper for a unique book anthology that will be printed in 2114.
The incredibly creative (and time consuming) endeavour, called Future Library, will see a writer contribute a manuscript to the anthology each year - to be held in trust, unpublished - until 2114, when the book will be assembled.
Claire Doherty, director of the neighbourhood's public art organization, said this work "compels us to think about what we might tell a future reader about our time."
Scottish artist Katie Paterson conceived the idea, which somewhat reflects the future planning and redevelopment of Bjørvika Utvikling from a container port into a modern cultural centre. The Future Library Trust will be re-formed every decade to ensure that the project gets completed, as original members move on.
We here at CBC Books think this is a way cool idea. And we hope this anthology is something our great, great grandchildren will enjoy ... presuming they know what the heck a paper book is.

Cryptologic Signs Multi-Year Deal With Paramount
Cryptologic just keeps hitting them out of the park these days. The Canadian online casino software provider has announced a multi-year agreement with Paramount Digital Entertainment, giving them exclusive rights to some big movie titles.
The list keeps growing
First they added Superman and Batman, then came the Call of Duty deal, and now you can add Braveheart, Forrest Gump, Ferris Bueller, Beowulf and many more to a group that already includes The X-Men, Hulk and The Punisher.
More great games for players
Cryptologic can now translate these movie titles into more great online casino games, something that both companies are very excited about. "We are very excited about this new relationship with Paramount Digital Entertainment as it both vindicates and enhances our strategic position. Paramount Pictures boasts an extensive catalogue of classic and new releases, and Cryptologic makes the world's best branded Internet casino games," said Brian Hadfield, CryptoLogic's president and CEO. "It's been proven that CryptoLogic's branded games drive Internet casino revenue - and we look forward to a mutually profitable relationship with this global entertainment leader."
Good Times Ahead
Cryptologic currently has over 280 online casino games in their arsenal and they will also be building a dedicated website for Paramount later this year, so there is plenty to look forward to from them. Cryptologic software is used by InterCasino amongst others, one of the most highly recommended and best online casinos around.

Pulled out front stitches today
Not much new measurements r the same. I pulled out stitches this morning wen i got home from taking kids to school. I was just trying to cut notch out but it pulled out so no big dealits closed anyway.heres a pic of me sat
I dont think its gonna change
Ive been the same measurements sine day three basically i dont see nothing changing i wish this one roll on one side of my bck was gone bad lipo...and i wish i had two hips instead of one so ill b going bck for rnd 2 so mayb this time i can get both hips....i a lil upset i feel lik i look good but i expected more,i dont look much differ and because i wasnt bad to begin wit i thought they couldn't do nothing but improve me which my stomach is flatter and butt is rounder but no one can tell cause i always looked good n clothes anyways i c the difference but no one else can tell????and thats not wat i paid for...all i wanted was hips and a small waist which i dont feel i got
Im really not satisfied the more time that goes by the more ticked off i get i have minimum change,i do have a fuller butt on top but nothing noticeably different my waist is slimmer but uneven and love handles on one side is still there and big ,my stomach is flat thats the main thing im impressed with. Definitely gotta get rnd 2 im pissed,my waist from top to navel is 26.5",27,29. My butt from top to buttom is 42 ,43,and 44 widest prt.
My experience
Let me take the time out to explain my experience...okay from the get go my experience has been quite different from the other Rs sisters, i told the dr that i wanted hips i had dents on yhe side of my butt and id lik nice curvy hip and slim waist and (if)there was enough fat left id lik fat injected at the top of my butt for more projection and rnder appearance. He told me i didnt have alot of mind u i was completely dressed the hole appt i showed him my back fat arm and under my butt cheeks and inner thigh he said no he doesn't lik leg lipo it comes out uneven and my arms would only b a teaspoon of fat so with that been said he told me i have a good body already je was going to concentrate on sculpting me and injecting wat he had. I said ok,i wasnt happy but id come to far to turn bck now. So after i woke up from surgery i was out of it until i got to the rm then i was wide awake couldnt slp me and my man went walkn i went to the bthrm alnight myself but i never took off garment to follow up appt. So at the appt rm they put u n theres no mirror so wen i did undress i couldnt c myself so anyways i was excited and hopeful left there gotta massage went shopping all day lol i set n bck seat doggy style. But i never hurt that nght was my first time n a mirror seeing myself wen i looked i was kinda excited a sec until my man told me i had one hip and the other side was flatter so the next morning went bck to vanity for next appt and i told them about my hip and showed them they said it was to early and it would change same thing about fat role still on my bck so i talked to precilla and she said he would redo in 6mths for free if it doesnt change i look the same now as i did then,i never really swoll up never hurt it was different then i expected i already waist train and have been for two wks now. But as i said i told him i wanted hips above all,he gave me projection at the top of my butt and thats it. So he didnt listen. As he told me he only had 5 mins.
3mths post op
Almost 3mths post op just wanted to update yall,well i really look the same as i been looking,still going bck for my hips but i do feel i look good just still want hips,and i still have bra fat to use to give me my hips,so i guess im happy he left a lil fat for me to use.
7mth po
Okay ladies its been 7mths,let me give u the real scoop i went to Dr.Valls l,it was a disappointing last min change on them. He gave me a smaller waist but left to much bra fat on my bck,i got a higher butt off my bck where my natural buut had dropped,but i have no hip and that was the main thing i asked for...he told me i didnt have alot of fat but the fat i did have he didnt get so im not a fan of that. But over all i rate him a 8 cause i do look good and feel good n my clothes. But i always had a nice shape he just scuplted my body bck to my b4 kids body. But i do plan on going bck because i want my hips.... now this info imma about to give is so necessary LADIES,i did not where the garment or anything after a mth and i set,lay,and watever else on my butt and my measurements are the same 26.5waist,28bellybutton,and 42/44butt.
So im officially a Dr.Valls Doll. Sorry i cant change original info but Dr.Valls done my bbl he done a good job to early to tell everything but i am curvy now wit a round butt,i wasnt built bad at first but my butt had no projection and i do now. I wasnt even at first so im hoping i even oit more but i look good im happy.

New Delhi, July 12 (ANI): Taiwan leader Ma Ying-jeou has called for closer ties with mainland China following the signing of a historic trade pact by the two sides last month.
In a message sent to Hu Jintao, general secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, the China Daily quoted Ma, as saying that this was an opportunity for the two sides to end decades of mistrust and search for common ground.
The appeal, condensed into 16 Chinese characters, will be given to Hu on Monday by Wu Poh-hsiung, honorary chairman of Taiwan's ruling Kuomintang (KMT), when he meets Hu in Beijing.
Translated into English, the 16 characters read: "Looking into realities, overcoming differences and seeking common ground, accumulating mutual trust and further creating win-win situations."
This will be the third meeting between top leaders of the CPC and the KMT since 2008, when Ma took the reins of power.
Wu has previously said that it is both natural and necessary for senior leaders of both parties to meet once a year.
Negotiators from the mainland and Taiwan signed the Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement (ECFA) in the southwestern mainland city of Chongqing in late June. (ANI)

I was recently given a Pages document to print for someone but the picture was too dark.

How to match the colours on your monitor to your printer.
If you have ever designed a colour document on your computer and then printed it out on your inkjet or laser printer you may have noticed that the colours come out slightly different. This is partly to do with the fact that printing with ink on a piece of paper is a different process to creating colour on a computer monitor, but it is possible to calibrate your monitor so that the colours match up as closely as they can. This article gives you some tips on basic monitor colour calibration.

text: 000 FXUS63 KLOT 221944 AFDLOT Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Chicago/Romeoville, IL 244 PM CDT Thu Jun 22 2017 .SHORT TERM... 225 PM CDT Through Friday... Concerns center around isolated thunderstorm development this afternoon, and then with a line of storms late this evening and overnight. Inhibition gradually continues to erode from the south generally driven by low level moisture advection soundings. AMDAR soundings still depict some decent capping thanks to fairly warm temperatures in the 800-700 mb layer, at least closer to Chicago The HRRR now has backed off a bit on the coverage for the afternoon and early evening, consistent with very little/weak convergence in place and a lack of a larger scale forcing mechanism. But there is some weak upper forcing pushing in from the south, thus we maintain an isolated shower and storm mention for the afternoon/early evening. Shear profiles are still fairly weak during this period thus severe threat is low. We will hang onto instability through the evening ahead of the cold front currently draped across the northern plains/upper midwest. Stronger upper level winds will approach the area along the southern fringes of the upper low across Manitoba. Clusters of storms will continue to develop along and ahead of the front. Any storms that area able to get going this evening ahead of the front will form in an axis of 1000+ J/Kg of MLCAPE and shear in excess of 30 kt, which keep the threat of hail or locally damaging winds, mainly across north central IL this evening, especially if anything forms upstream and develops a cold pool while pushing ahead into the continued unstable airmass. The cold front will pass through the Chicago area after midnight, with the line of storms passing southeast with it. There are some waves in the southwest flow aloft that may initially slow the progression of the front before it gets shoved southeastward late tonight, and may prevent a solid line, but confidence is pretty high in many areas seeing some activity. Moisture pooling ahead of the front would suggest at least some brief heavy downpours in this scenario, while the more significant flood threat is largely just to our north/northwest. Quite the airmass change will filter air on Friday, with much drier air across the upper Midwest (note the 40s Tds in MN). These will not get here that quickly but eventually will get in here this weekend. Still humidity levels will be much lower, and temps look to top off in the upper 70s to near 80. It may be a bit cooler along the IN shore. Showers and storms look to still be ongoing tomorrow morning, but guidance is in good agreement of getting the front through in the afternoon. && .LONG TERM... 238 PM CDT Friday night through Thursday... For the longer term forecast period, general trends remain consistent with previous runs and the short term forecast period trends. By Friday night, the longwave pattern will be trending toward a higher amplitude with building ridging over the west coast and broad troughing over the ern 2/3 of the CONUS. The broad upper trough will help contribute to a period of below normal temperatures for the weekend through early next week. The local area will be under fast nwly flow aloft, with a series of nrn stream shortwaves dropping through the nwly flow, sharpening the upper trough and generating sct showers. Chances for thunderstorms will be low, though not out of the question for the afternoon hours. The highest chance for any pcpn through the weekend will likely be Sunday afternoon into Sunday evening when a stronger shortwave is expected to drop through the upper Mississippi Valley and across the upper Great Lakes. There are some strength differences noted in the longer range guidance, with the ECMWF trending stronger than the GFS/GEM, though all indicate similar timing. So, will carry chance PoPs for the nrn portions of the CWA with some scattered thunderstorms possible. Any pcpn should be scattered, so the day should not be a washout. Temperatures for the weekend through early next week will be below normal, with highs only in the lower 70s through Monday. With high pressure associated with a dry continental polar air mass sliding out of Canada and across the cntrl Plains and Mississippi Valley, dewpoints will also be anomalously low for late June and should only be in the upper 40s to around 50 F. By Tuesday, the upper ridge is still expected to build east across the Rockies and out over the cntrl CONUS while sfc high pressure shifts to the east coast. Rising heights aloft and increasingly sly flow at the sfc will set up a return flow of warm/moist air with temps reaching the upper 70s for Tuesday and the lower 80s for midweek. Dewpoints should also be on the rise back into the upper 50s to lower 60s. && .AVIATION... For the 18Z TAFs... Concerns center around isolated thunderstorm development this afternoon, and then with a line of storms late this evening and overnight. MVFR/Low VFR clouds will also spread in from the south through the afternoon and evening. Concern regarding winds shifting to NNW-N, to possibly NNE at ORD/MDW just behind the front. A continuous stream of MVFR or lower VFR clouds will advect northward through the afternoon and evening. Guidance suggests this may briefly come in MVFR and settle to VFR before becoming predominant MVFR ahead of the cold front tonight. Convection continues to weaken off to the northwest. There is a weak convergence axis over northeast IL that may trigger a shower or two that may become a storm as inhibition erodes. Confidence is too low on coverage to include in the TAF set, as the forcing is subtle, but will need to monitor. Better chances storms comes tonight. High confidence in a line of storms moving with the cold front, with some weakening trend likely after passing the Chicago terminals. Current RAP/HRRR timing is just slightly later than previous runs, but 6-7z timing in an around the Chicago terminals seems reasonable. There could be some prefrontal showers or thunderstorms after 3-4z as well, but confidence is low on this. Winds may abruptly shift to N or even NE with the front at ORD/MDW but look to settle back to NW through the morning. MVFR clouds lift behind the front. KMD && .MARINE... 245 PM CDT The low over western Manitoba will weaken as it crosses Ontario tonight and then continues to Quebec Friday. An associated cold front will sweep across the lake tonight into early Friday morning with winds becoming west to northwest behind the front. Westerly winds are expected to continue through early next week. High pressure should then build in behind the exiting cold front, spreading across the plains Sunday and the western Great Lakes early next week, setting up a period of relatively light and variable winds. As the high shifts to the east and new low pressure develops over the northern plains, winds will trend more southerly and strengthen to arnd 15 to 20 kt. && .LOT WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...

The League of Dreams
The League of Dreams is an adaptive sports league for athletes with physical and developmental disabilities and their mission is to give every child should have the chance to play by providing sports training, team camaraderie and competitive sporting opportunities for athletes with disabilities.
The mission of the League of Dreams is to work towards fulfillment of their motto: "Every child should have the chance to play!" Therefore their mission is to provide sports training, team camaraderie and competitive sporting opportunities for athletes with disabilities.
What started as an idea became a reality very quickly, as in March 2007 the League of Dreams started its inaugural year with baseball, having less than 50 kids signed up. The league added basketball in the fall of 2007 to keep activities going, then was nominated and received the Beautiful Bakersfield Award for All American City Tradition, Civic/ Non- Profit. In 2012, with the help of county supervisor Mike Maggard and many other donors and community members, the League of Dreams opened Abilities Field, the very first adaptive baseball field in Bakersfield at Fruitvale Norris Park. In 2013, League of Dreams, with the help of a grant from the Adaptive Arthritis Associate, assisted with building the accessible playground that is in front of the baseball field.
The 2012 League of Dreams Baseball season had over 165 registered players after the announcement that the program would be free for all athletes with disabilities because of the fundraising efforts of former Chicago White Sox third baseman Brent Morel, a Bakersfield native, at the 1st Annual Gala and Auction event. In 2013, the league added Bowling season as the summer sport. The League began partnering with Kern Dance Alliance to add a dance program starting in 2017.
To date the League of Dreams has served over 500 athletes with disabilities in Kern County.
The League of Dreams continues to fundraise enabling programs to stay at a very low cost for all their athletes. They also offer scholarships for those with financial hardships.

CANADA STOCKS-TSX takes hit from China stock selloff
* TSX down 123.16 points, or 1.12 percent, at 10,854.81
* China stock market selloff spreads to North America
* Energy, materials shares lead TSX lower (Adds details, quote)
By Jennifer Kwan
TORONTO, Aug 31 (Reuters) - Toronto's main stock market index sank on Monday morning, pressured by a big drop in Chinese equities, which stoked concern about the pace of economic recovery and undercut commodity prices.
Among heavyweight decliners were Suncor Energy (SU.TO: Quote), down 1.1 percent at C$34.03, Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS.TO: Quote), down 1 percent at C$45.86, and Teck Resources TCKb.TO, which sank 2.4 percent to C$26.90.
China's key stock index .SSEC fell 6.74 percent on Monday to a three-month closing low, logging its second-biggest monthly loss in 15 years [ID:nBJD002975], as the rise stock valuations was seen as outpacing improvements in corporate earnings.
Chinese stocks have been seen as a barometer of the state of global economic recovery recently and their weakness rattled investor sentiment, knocking European and North American stock markets lower.
"The main story today is the news out of China that the Shanghai index was very weak," said Steve Ibel, institutional equities trader at Beacon Securities, in Halifax, Nova Scotia. [MKTS/GLOB] Continued...

This week concludes my field site work with the CAE the Vermont Foodbank and on Friday I move to Washington DC to continue my fellowship work with a focus on national anti hunger and anti poverty policy. Although it is bittersweet to leave the bitter cold, I am very proud to present my Hunger Free Community Report to you all. It is titled The Harvest Process: Maximizing Local Food Infrastructure to Benefit the Charitable Food System, and details my recommendations for how to create a partnership between the CAE and the Vermont Foodbank to add processing to the charitable food system. Over the course of my time here, I had the rare opportunity to inspect the inner workings of the local and charitable food systems. I rode with Vermont Foodbank truck drivers on their delivery routes, visited the Salvation Farms produce packing project at the South East State Correctional Facility, gleaned squash at Riverside Farm, and interviewed food bank project coordinators from California to Cairo about their processing projects.
Although examples of food processing are few and far between, I determined that with careful planning and by fostering new relationships with workforce development organizations we can keep costs low and create a generative and lasting partnership. The Vermont Foodbank is excited to launch a processing pilot based on this research in 2015!
I also complied an inventory of cold storage and processing facilities, charitable food organizations, VT Foodbank distribution routes, and relationships that connect those entities and organizations. The map below contains 8 different layers:
1-5)Vermont Foodbank Trucking Routes Monday-Friday
6)Cold Storage and Processing Facilities
7)Charitable Food Organizations
8) Existing Relationships and Identified needs in Charitable Food System
Simply click the menu in the top right corner and select which layers you would like to see.
I have been so impressed by the complexity and the resiliency of the local food system in Vermont, and hope that this work can contribute to making it an alternative that is accessible to all.
With Respect,
Nora Leccese

Ixia Takes On P2P Simulation
Calabasas-based Ixia, a provider of test systems for testing IP networks, said Wednesday that the firm has rolled out new support for simulating peer-to-peer traffic. Ixia said its new IxLoad P2P product will allow service providers to see the effect of P2P traffic on its networks, and also allows network equipment manufacturers to detect and classify P2P traffic. According to Ixia, P2P traffic produces between 30 to 60 percent of worldwide Internet traffic. The firm's new product simulates the creation of real-world, P2P traffic flows. P2P traffic is the result of such things as peer-to-peer file swapping software, high bandwidth video streaming, voice-over-IP software, instant messaging, and other software applications.
