Flash fashion show literally stops traffic in central London
New eco-friendly fashion label Wear Chemistry caused a scene in central London this morning with an impromptu catwalk show on a zebra crossing during rush hour.
The brand used the event to release their latest selection of vibrant mens and womenswear made with sustainable bamboo cotton. The collection was paraded up and down pedestrian crossings outside trendy Carnaby Street and fashion-mecca Oxford Circus, stopping traffic in its tracks to give a further green edge to the launch.
- Models paraded up and down fashion mecca Oxford Circus and trendy Carnaby Street
- Traffic was at a standstill for 5 minutes as the fashion protest made its point
- Models for the event were recruited via Facebook and Twitter
- The event was used to launch the latest range of mens and womens clothing made with sustainable bamboo cotton
- The brand proved you don't have to forsake style and confidence when wearing eco-friendly fashion
- Wear Chemistry garments are made using 70% bamboo and 30% organic cotton
Download the full press release and high resolution images below.
Trish Richards, co-founder of Wear Chemistry commented:
"We wanted to do something that would prove fashion still has the capacity to stop people in their tracks – even in the ever moving city of London. By showing eco-friendly commuting can dominate even the aggressive London traffic, the whole event proves that having a conscience about what you do doesn't mean you need to forsake style and confidence."

But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body.– Philippians 3:20-21 (NIV)
by Dave Whitehead, Senior Pastor, GraceNYC.org
It's good that patriotism is alive and well in America. It's an election year and we have just celebrated July 4th in the U.S. But the Scripture tells us that our allegiance is to another government—we are ultimately citizens of heaven. The freedom that we will experience from this earthen body will not come from any government on earth, but from our ultimate King, Jesus Christ. So rejoice in the nation that God has placed you in, but remember that you are called to be an ambassador for another ruler; Jesus Christ, who will come again.

Boring in comparison to ratting, but now we live 2 jumps into 0.0, meaning I have to resort to missions to get ISKies.
Boring in comparison to ratting, but now we live 2 jumps into 0.0, meaning I have to resort to missions to get ISKies.
I'm calling you an idiot because there's no need to have 8 corps and 2 alliances and billions and billions worth of bullshit for "defense" when you cannot compete with the top-tier WH alliances
Plus C2-C5/C6 yeah
Please post lossmails of your carriers when they get bhaalghorn'd
I have no idea about wormholes, or their terminology, so just think for a second how hilarious this conversation is for me
The fact that you're in a C2 and you regularly farm your neighbors' hole is probably why this is happening, iownuall. That gets people's attention.
So I was in the EVE Radio (FunkyBacon) Assault Frigate tournament last night. This was my first time flying AF's and I figured I'd just do it for fun.
I ended up wining the tournament and going on to Bacon-or-no-Bacon (Deal or no Deal) and I picked number 13 and went all the way to the end and ended up wining 750 million ISK! Best night ever!
So basically at least once a day they're playing Russian roulette where the bullet is Narwhals or Aperture or whomever.
scout I have a question. When was the last time you regularly play eve? You come off as one of those people who pretend they know everything about the game and go on forums to tell people they're idiots, but don't actually play the game very much and don't know much about it.
(User was banned for this post ("Drama queen - provoking a user, trolling." - Craptasket))
scout reminds me of Kendra from the SC2 megathread. For those who don't know who Kendra is, Kendra was some guy who claimed to be pro at SC2 and was in Masters league(Masters league is the top league reserved for the best players who aren't in the Grandmasters league, which is only for the top 200 people in the region.), he would always flame people in the megathread and call them idiots and such because he disagreed with them.
When people asked for proof that he was indeed in masters league, he would claim that he plans on going pro and he didn't want people to know his play when he did go pro. Eventually people would start challenging him to 1v1 matches, he would lose to people 2 or 3 league below him, and he always played fucking awful. (Keep in mind this was on an alternate character who wasn't in Masters)
Eventually people started thinking he wasn't in Masters like he said he was, and eventually was shunned from the thread and banned a few times for flaming and trolling people, that's why scout reminds me of Kendra, he pretends to know shit and comes on here to flame and troll people.
Just my 2 cents.
Heavy sounds like you're trying to start drama again dude, just saying.
extended rating script has never failed me
All the logical fallacies man, all the logical fallacies.
By "again" I meant like all the drama you started in the SCII thread, but really I didn't bring that up so precisely cause it's a dick move.
Drama can be caused really easily, it just depends on the person. Such as this thread, it's very prone to drama because of the people who come here are just general dicks and bad people.
If the people who come here are dicks and bad people, why come here?
my corporation
Haven't killed anything lately, been on secret shennanigans inside brick
so take that and shove it biotic
Has he ever actually gave any indication that he's amazing or that he's shit? Honestly not sure of either cause I've never cared enough to notice.
I am on every kill listed there. I own the corp
It's like... 3 dudes including myself
Honestly I only took a glance at the KB because of how awful the battleclinic killboards are.
Has it occurred to you that maybe those people were really wrong and that's he just right?
Throwing all this out there, but I'm gonna be honest I'm coughing my guts up and I couldn't give a fuck about this.
Wait, you're lamar jackson?
Didn't I fly with you in Standard and practices before it went down?
Ok, I think at this point it's time to take it to PMs or something.
I'm not but I can pass on your regards if you want to leave a message. Got him on the batphone right now.
Also was on a roam tonight and got on two battleship KM's, a Maelstrom and a Typhoon, was so retarded how easy it was too.
I thought we had some straight up drama incoming if you were saying you were.
(Seydon says hi)
And biotic, scount is just abrasive a true embodiment of the the shit slinging ship simulation that is eve online.

Don't need Snape meets Sherlock... they are the same person !
But thanks for the story x

Why not call the aurors? Most illogical to jump to Sherlock Holmes first.
| JD chapter 39 . 7/26/2014
While I liked the idea of this story there is something missing from it. I didn't particularly care for the Druids (nothing against druids I just found them a tad annoying and out of place) but I found overall a lot lacking and the characters felt a bit flat, you definitely had the space to make them less wimpy (for lack of a better word). It sounded good in the description but was just a bit disappointing, though I'm sure less picky people would like it just fine.
| Other chapter 12 . 10/6/2013
I am having a hard time reading this, not that I cannot understand or comprehend it. No, I expect the characters to be better than they are. They are too dumb compared to what they should be. I feel bereft from your writing, and shall cease reading reading further.
And for god's sake, stop using the word luncheon. I can only see one character using that word and that's Malfoy-no one else-because he is a slimmy, upper-class, lack-wit twit. Even then, I think he would only say "luncheon" to purposely annoy someone... like Granger. "Oh Mommy dearest, we must luncheon with the Minister on the morrow." Yep, that would piss me off quite well.

I felt kinda sorry for Holmes, and then a bit more for Snape. Very well done.
| purrfus chapter 2 . 10/15/2009
When my friend suggested I read this story my first reaction was Harry Potter and Sherlock Holmes - not so much.
But I started reading and was delighted to see Russell and Holmes, and fanfiction.
I am now very much looking forward to more.
| Satan'sPixie chapter 3 . 10/9/2009
Lol, that's an encounter that many would pay to be able to see!
| MsTree chapter 39 . 5/8/2008
I read this story and enjoyed the concept. However, at this point in time (8 May 2008), chapter 8 is not coming up. I keep getting the message that Internet Explorer cannot find the page. All the other pages have come up just fine, but I feel like I'm missing part of the story with an entire chapter missing. Snape's in the infirmary and Holmes is demanding an explanation from Hagrid then all of a sudden, Snape's out of the infirmary. What Happens?
| Contemplations chapter 39 . 7/10/2006
And to think...you only have a bit over 150 reviews! You deserve a THOUSAND more!This is an amazing piece of fanfiction! I loved it! I must admit...I was a bit confused in the beginning but after I kept going, I couldn't wait till I read the next chapter! Now, I'm literally dying to find my Sherlock Holmes collections I know I've put away somewhere in my basement. Can't imagine why though. :]

The idea of making a gift with my own hands came to me last July, when my boyfriend's birthday was getting closer and my wallet was empty.
I found an old wooden box with two hearts on it, and came up with the idea of making a "box of memories" as a present. It's basically a jewelry box filled with small objects that are supposed to symbolize memories i have from our year together (almost two now! ).
Here it is!
(Sorry for the crappy quality, the pics were taken in poor light conditions and with a cellphone)
On the outside:
The inside with our picture and all the objects inside:
The items (with brief explanations):
An orchid with a butterfly (printed image, the butterfly is stapled to it because i didn't have glue) - a memory of a trip to "Utopia", an orchid garden.
A small version of my notebook we burned together as a ritual for my highschool graduation (i cut it out of a bigger notebook and burned the edges with a lighter):
An eight-ball symbolizing our first date (made out of Fimo and correction liquid):
A skewer with "meat" and "tomatoes" (beads and toothpick) symbolizing our first kiss at a BBQ:
And last one - a towel with flip-flops (fabric scrap, lines drawn with pen and flip-flops are cut out of a notebook cover):
I'm not entirely happy with the result, but it was the best i could do at the time. I do like the 8-ball, and my boyfriend did like his gift so i guess it's not a total disaster either

Although safaris are a great attraction, Kenya is a country of great diversity with much more to offer. One cannot go on safari in Kenya without having an urge to visit and experience the way of life of the renowned Masai tribe of Kenya. The Masai, iconic pastoralists of the East African savannah, live in harmony with nature and is one of the few remaining tribes that tries to hold onto their traditions and culture amidst westernisation.

This is the first part of how Blender was used to help with my workflow when creating some of the art in Lego City Undercover. Included is the setup for generating procedural rocks.
A little animated short created in Blender using Cycles for the CGMasters competition. The original tutorial project was going to run WAAAAY too long. This is an attempt to just show some of the methods used to create the idea while keeping
the tutorial at a manageable length.
Modelling in Blender & Maya
A thorough look at the modelling tools available in Blender (& as a consequence you'll get a glance over all the Maya equivalents). A list of all the modelling tools found within Maya by default and their closest Blender equivalents.
Blender Overview
This series will aim to cover the basics of Blender aimed primarily but not exclusively at Maya users from a modelling/Texturing/UVing perspective. The material here is presented in an inclusive and wide enough way so as to allow beginners to get a grasp of blender too (and a sense of Maya while we're at it).
Getting Started
Once upon a time I was completely new to all this, and at that time it would have been helpful to get a sense of context. From a software and Hardware perspective, what's possible and available when getting started with a budget of next to nothing? This is a brief overview that attempts to categorise the disciplines.

There are certain names that are powerfully evocative of the Barossa Valley and its time-honoured traditions. Krondorf is one of them. One of the oldest and most respected names in Australian wine, Krondorf reflects a rich heritage of tradition, history and quality.
The tiny Barossa village of Krondorf was settled in the mid-1800s by Silesian immigrants who brought with them vine cuttings from their homeland. These vines became the basis for many of the Barossa's early vineyards, some of which still survive today.
A dramatic return to form
The original Krondorf winery (initially named 'Glenview') was founded in the mid 1800s, but lay dormant until 1978 when a group including dynamic winemaker Grant Burge and visionary marketer Ian Wilson re-launched the Krondorf brand. Krondorf stormed on to the wine stage and in 1980 scooped one of Australia's most coveted red wine awards, The Jimmy Watson Trophy. Today, Krondorf continues to create premium, wines made in the Barossa that are true expressions of their individual regions and varieties. The secret to Krondorf's enduring success lies in the provenance of the grapes, which are sourced from the Barossa's most coveted vineyard sites. These grapes create truly iconic, collectable wines with intense flavour, depth, and harmony.
Barossa to its core
Every wine in the Krondorf range is made from fruit grown in the Barossa. The highest echelon is reserved solely for the Symmetry range, crafted in tiny quantities from the top five per cent of Barossa fruit. Symmetry wines are only released after careful cellaring, and are so sought after and collectable that they sell out every year.
Meet Krondorf winemaker, Nick Badrice
Winemaking History
Following study at Charles Sturt University in Wagga Wagga, Nick's winemaking career began as a cellar hand at Leo Buring. A year later he joined Dorrien Estate in the Barossa Valley and in 2001 stepped in to his current position as winemaker. During this time he also gained experience working three vintages in Spain on three different winemaking projects.
Nick's favourite wine moment
"Tasting my first ever Garnacha at an outside bar in Priorat while working a vintage in Spain. It was great, it made sense, and whenever I taste a good Grenache now it always reminds me of that time."
Nick's winemaking philosophy
1. Respect (for all the stages, from grape to bottle).
2. Attention to detail.
3. Patience.
"To make wines that are true to the vineyard site from where the grapes grew."

Mr FRASER (EDEN-MONARO, NEW SOUTH WALES) - How long is it since the honorable member himself was a Communist?
Mr HAMILTON - I was not a Communist, as the honorable member for Eden-Monaro (Mr. Eraser) is. I was an independent. I had the courage to say what I thought. I ask the Minister for Commerce and Agriculture whether the action of the general secretary of the Waterside Workers Federation, that wellknown Communist named Healy, in tying up 72 ships in Sydney Harbour immediately after the passage last year by this Parliament of the legislation dealing with the stevedoring industry, was not nefarious. The people whom I represent, along with other Western Australians engaged in primary production, have only recently felt the repercussions of that event. It was the cause of their inability to obtain the superphosphate they required to grow the wheat and other products so badly needed by ourselves, our kith and kin in Great Britain and the starving multitudes in Europe. The lag in shipping caused by that hold-up has not yet been caught up. I challenge representatives of Western Australian constituencies on the Government side of the House to say that the people whom they represent can 'get what they need and that the deprivations that they are suffering have not been caused by the Communists. Wherever one goes in Western Australia one is confronted by shortages of everything needed for primary production. Farmers are crying out for water piping. When one makes representations to the authorities for additional supplies he is told that the State is receiving 8^ per cent, of all the water piping produced. More water piping is not produced because insufficient coal is mined to enable the steel works to produce all that they could produce. The basic cause of our shortages is the shortage of coal. The shortage of coal arises from the nefarious activities of the Communists on the coal-fields. I am not one to attack the workers. I know the conditions under which they toil. I am not like some of the gentlemen to whom the Minister for Commerce and Agriculture referred. I was not born with a silver spoon in my mouth. I have worked, and worked hard. I do not believe in adding to the hardship that the workers normally undergo. All that the Government needs to do is to deal with the "redraggers " in their midst. The Queensland railway strike was not merely a strike of the railway workers. It was a move by the Communists to prevent private enterprise from expending considerable sums of money on exploiting the Blair Athol coal resources, which, if properly handled, could supply all Australia's coal needs. During that trouble the Australian Government did not lift one finger against the Communists. I go so far as to say that I believe that it was because of pressure from this Government that the Queensland Labour Government, led by Mr. Hanlon, whose courageous anti.picketing legislation brought a sudden end to the Queensland transport strike, remitted the fines imposed upon the Communist ring-leaders for their breaches of that law and released them from gaol where they had been placed for having failed to pay their fines. The Minister for Commerce and Agriculture, in his eulogy of this Government, also said that the Government of Victoria led by Mr. Holloway, had no backbone, but he knows that the Communists in Victoria have been very quiet since the advent of that Government. They are not game to do much, because they know that immediately they cause industrial trouble, the anti-strike legislation passed by the Victorian Parliament to curb their activities will be proclaimed and enforced. It is this Government, not the Victorian Government, which, as the Leader of the Australian Country party (Mr. Fadden) has said time and time again, has no intestinal fortitude, for 'it refuses to arraign the Communist leaders before the court for breaches of the Commonwealth Crimes Act when they cause industrial trouble extending beyond the limits of one State and to gaol them when they have been found guilty. There would be no need to gaol a thousand Communists, as the Prime Minister (Mr. Chifley) said. His words were an attempt to wriggle out of the position in which he finds himself. If action were taken to gaol the ring-leaders and deport the agitators that were not bom in Australia, the rest of the Communists would not be able to find enough hollow logs to hide in, and would perish like rabbits in trying to cross the Nullabor Plain. I did not intend to talk for so long about communism. In fact, I did not intend to participate in this debate. But the words of the Minister for Commerce and Agriculture goaded me into doing so.
The honorable member for New England (Mr. Abbott) spoke about a certain matter earlier. I do not know all the details of the matter to which he referred.
Mr Dedman - The honorable member for Swan (Mr. Hamilton) knows nothing about it.
Mr HAMILTON - I say in answer to the Minister for Post-war Reconstruction (Mr. Dedman), who would be more respected in Australia than he is if he paid more attention to post-war reconstruction, that I know that the expenditure of dollars was involved in bringing from America machinery for the manufacture of cement. Cement, as the Minister for Commerce and Agriculture has stated, is certainly required and orders for it have been sent abroad, but cement need not be short in supply if the idle plant in Australia could be brought back into production, as it could be if sufficient coal were available for the fires to be lit and the plant set working. The first factor in the idleness of certain cement works is the shortage of coal ; the second is the shortage of labour. The second is understandable, to a degree; but the first is not. The Government should not have allowed the expenditure of precious dollars on the purchase of machinery of which we have an apparent abundance to produce cement; it should have taken effective action to ensure the production of sufficient coal to allow our already available machinery to operate. The Prime Minister has called for a production drive so that Australia shall be able to contribute its share to the feeding of the people of Great Britain and Europe. Yet he has allowed dollars to be wasted on the purchase of unnecessary machinery when primary producers cannot get the dollars to buy from America the spare parts that are needed to put into working order the tractors that they must operate if they are to produce the food that the people of Great Britain and Europe need. It is useless for Ministers to attribute the stortage of things that primary producers need to the unwillingness of merchants to sell and to say that they have ample stocks on their shelves. Nothing is farther from the truth. Farmers want spare parts for their tractors and cannot get them. I cannot buy a clutch for my tractor although I have been trying to do so for months and months. Some one stole the clutch of my machine during the war. But that is beside the point. The point is that where a merchant, before the war, imported £50,000 worth of tractor spare parts annually to satisfy his requirements, to-day he is allowed to import only £10,000 worth a year. This state of affairs is alarming. It is better to keep the tractors already in the country moving than to try to bring in new ones. The charges that have been laid by the honorable member for New England warrant the most searching inquiry to ascertain whether any wrong-doing has occurred. Any one guilty of wrong-doing or of telling untruths in obtaining the dollars to buy the machinery referred to by the honorable member for New England should be severely dealt with. The Australian people should be thankful that the honorable member for New. England has brought this matter before the House and thereby given the Government the opportunity of instituting a most searching inquiry into the facts.
One of the most important subjects dealt with in the Governor-General's Speech is defence. My colleague the honorable member for Capricornia (Mr. Davidson) to-day told us what he thought of conditions in Japan, and concluded his speech by saying that Japan offered the best opportunity for the training of our Regular Army. He urged that we should have a battalion in that country for training purposes and change its personnel annually. I believe that every honorable member will agree with that suggestion, particularly as it comes from one who served in two wars and knows only too well what jungle warfare means. If Australia is attacked again in the future, the assault will probably be made from Japan or its adjacent islands, and accordingly it is desirable that our fighting forces should be given training in those areas. However, I appeal to honorable members not to allow any threat of attack from that direction to cloud their views on Australian defence generally. Not one word was said in the Governor-General's Speech of my proposal to guard the 4,350 miles of the coast of Western Australia, extending from Esperance to Wyndham. What preparations have been made for the defence of that part of Australia? Apparently, not one defence installation is to be provided there, notwithstanding the fact that the lifeline between this country and the United Kingdom passes through Western Australia and across the Indian Ocean. Not one hint has been given by the Government that it has any plan for the defence of our vulnerable western coastline. There is trouble to-day in Indonesia and in Burma; there has been trouble in India;' there is trouble between the Jews and the Arabs in Palestine; and there is trouble, too, in Iran and Iraq. All of these countries are practically bordering on the Indian Ocean and trouble within their borders may jeopardise our security. With the present regime in Russia following almost exactly the policy of the czars, and gathering more and more territory under the Russian claw, it is feasible that, with the world shortage of oil, the Russians will endeavour to move down through
Iran and Iraq and thus be in a position to strike a blow at our lifeline to the United Kingdom. Yet, not one word was said about the need for defence preparations along the Western Australian coast. More than twenty years ago, the then Australian Government proposed to establish a naval base at Cockburn Sound, near Fremantle. The sound is sheltered by reefs and its entrance calls for very intricate navigation; but nothing has been done. Until some move has been made by the Government to establish defence strongposts along the Western Australian coast, we cannot look forward to any great development of secondary industries in Western Australia. Unfortunately, the secondary industries of Western Australia have not developed in keeping with its primary industries and consequently the State is lagging behind the eastern States industrially. When honorable members and the people generally have become fully aware of the great expanse of coastline in Western Australia which ' is open to an aggressor, they will clamour for its appropriate defence, and something may be done. At Albany there is a wonderful natural harbour, but until the present Western Australian Government took office nothing had been done to develop it. The present Western Australian Government proposes to expend over a period of years an amount of £1,300,000 in improving theharbour at Albany. When units of the British Navy were in Australian waters during World War II. a British admiral said that it was a crying shamethat the natural harbour at Albany had not been developed. He was amazed that we should be so short-sighted as to fashion our defence policy in such a way as to make essential the carrying- out of all repairs at the dockyards of Sydney and Melbourne. Why was no attempt madeto establish the naval base at Cockburn Sound? I remember vividly the great works that were planned for that area about twenty years ago, but not one shovelful of soil has yet been turned to implement them. In his Speech, the Governor-General alsoreferred to air projects. Again, thewhole of the Government's plans are related to the development of air routes across the Pacific. No mention was made of the development of air- routes extending from Western Australia and across the Indian Ocean to the United Kingdom. The present air route to England from Australia, through Darwin, Singapore, the top of India, Persia and on to England cannot be called an " all-red " route. An upheaval in any of the foreign countries traversed by the route might very well bring about a stoppage of the service. An alternative route for air travel to England would be from Western Australia to Cocos Islands, Diego Garcia Islands, Seychelles Islands, Mombasa, Khartoum and Malta and thence to England. The whole of that route would be over British territory. Whether this subject was discussed at the recent conference of Commonwealth and State Ministers I do not know; but at least it is time that some indication was given to the people of Western Australia that the Government is aware of the dangers that threaten the maintenance of our lifeline to the United Kingdom and that it proposes to do something about it. Dealing with this subject last year, a London writer said that he was certain of the awareness of the people of Western Australia of the dangers that confront us in the Indian Ocean, but that the people of Canberra were apparently blind to them. Until General Blarney returned from the Middle East during World War II., nothing had been done to protect our interests there; but immediately the danger was forcibly brought to the notice of the Government some attempt was made to minimize it. I bring these matters to the notice of the House with the object of awakening in the minds of members of the Government some idea of the need for making adequate preparations for the defence of our Western Australia coastline. Admittedly, the Australian Government, in association with the British Government, is constructing a guided weapons range in Central Australia. Some people may say that the development of long-range weapons of the rocket type will be of advantage to Western Australia's defence. Some of these missiles will travel across the north-west corner of Western Australia and drop into the ocean, but beyond that they will be of no direct benefit to the defence of Western Australia.
The Government claims that since 1939 the number of persons engaged in civil employment has increased by 640,000. That figure may be correct, but the manner in which the information is used in the Governor-General's Speech is intended to convey to the people that the Government has been responsible for lifting the unemployment figure. The true position is that the Government can claim to have been responsible for the employment of only 220,000 of the 640,000 additional now employed. The remainder can be accounted for by the natural increase of young people reaching the age of sixteen years since 1939, the influx of migrants and the employment in industry of persons who were formerly selfemployed but who, as the result of the stupid policy adopted by the Government in maintaining high taxes, have been forced to abandon their businesses and work for wages. Probably many of them are employed in the Public Service at a wage in excess of that earned by them when they were self-employed. I refer to this subject briefly, for the purpose of dispelling any idea from the minds of the people that these additional 640,000 persons may have gained employment as the result of the policy of the present Government.
The Governor-General's Speech contains a lengthy statement on immigration. Everybody in Australia appreciates our need of a greatly increased population; but it is encumbent upon the Government to ensure that the Australian people are suitably housed before we add to our housing difficulties by bringing in thousands of others. The present immigration policy might have much more to commend it if the Minister for Immigration had arranged for the migration of artisans to be engaged in Australia solely in the building trade. During this debate much has been said about the need for improving the living conditions of the people in order to defeat the insidious propaganda of the Communists. What could contribute more to the comfort of the people than the provision of comfortable homes? The housing position to-day is as bad as it ever was. Exservicemen and their families are still living in garages, sheds and caravans because they cannot obtain homes. One of the contributing factors to the shortage of housing in Australia is the repeated industrial upheavals which are instigated by the Communist leaders of key unions. With the influx of the thousands of migrants forecast by the GovernorGeneral and by the Minister for Immigration, the housing position will become more and more acute. It is the responsibility of the Government to house our own people first rather than to aggravate the position by bringing in others. I believe that everybody will agree that the root cause of the housing problem is the coal shortage. The Prime Minister and the Minister for Shipping and Fuel (Senator Ashley) ' have recently appealed to the miners to increase coal production. Recently the honorable member for Wilmot (Mr. Duthie) cited figures relating to the quantity of coal consumed at the Bunnerong power-house. It is common knowledge that more coal is being used to-day than was used before the war and that greater quantities of coal are needed to meet the needs of our expanded secondary industries. However, honorable members opposite have only short memories if they have forgotten so soon the threat of the leaders of the miners federation who, not so long ago, said, " We will not build up one day's reserve of coal for big business and private enterprise to use against us ". It is this refusal to build up reserve stocks of coal which is responsible in the main for the existing coal shortage. I agree that the conditions under which miners work are not as good as they might be and that we should do everything possible to improve them; but I do not agree that the leaders of any union have the right to say that the members of their organization will not establish reserve stocks because of a fear that such reserves may be used against the workers in the event of subsequent industrial trouble. If we set ourselves out to give the coal miners the best of conditions and provide them with suitable amenities, the least we can expect is that the miners will play the game and give Australia a " fair crack of the whip ". Union leaders would not dare to make such statements in the country whose ideology the Communists propound in this country. It is within the power of this Government to take the necessary measures to prevent a repetition of that kind of threat. The ordinary law-abiding, self-respecting unionists to-day are endeavouring to get rid of their Communist dictators. But they know perfectly well, as honorable members opposite know, that when they endeavour to propound their ideas at union meetings, they are threatened with dire penalties. Therefore, it behoves the Government to give these unionists every possible assistance. By doin? so, the Government will earn the respect of all the honest unionists. One form of assistance that the Government can render is to introduce legislation to make it compulsory that unions shall not countenance stoppages of work without first taking a secret ballot of their members. Unionists throughout Western Australia have told me repeatedly that they would prefer the secret ballots to be conducted, not by the executives of the unions, but by a judge of the Supreme Court or by_thi Chief Electoral Officer of the State. That is an amazing situation. Is it not sufficient proof that unionists do not trust their own executives and want to get rid of them? But they are not able to do so. When they venture to express their opinions at union meetings, they are told to sit down or they will be "thugged ". That has happened. The Government should give the genuine unionists every possible assistance to enable them to rid themselves of the- disruptionists. The Minister for Air (Mr. Drakeford) has stated in this House that the Locomotive Enginemen's and Firemen's Association succeeded in getting rid of them, and I believe that it did. The Australian Workers Union also has fought them tooth and nail. But what is the use of the engine-driver getting rid of men who cause strikes when the union of which the guard is a member retains them? That is exactly what is happening. The president of the Australian Railways Union, " Red " Brown, can apply the Westinghouse brake whenever he pleases, and stop the train. Therefore, the honest unionists need assistance to get rid of the disruptionists. The members of the Labour party who vote against the amendment submitted by the honorable member for Reid (Mr. Lang) will not be helping law-abiding, self-respecting unionists to rid themselves of these termites, who have " white-anted " the unions and caused untold trouble not only in industrial circles but also throughout Australia.

Time flies…whether you're having fun or not, right? So how are we supposed to find time for art?!
The clock says you've run out of time. You lay down for the night to rest your body but your mind is still ticking. You didn't find time for art today…or the laundry or the grocery store. How do you ever catch up with all that you need and, more importantly, want to do?
If you want more time, you need to learn how to fly, too.
The key is to use the very same wisdom the birds do – get in the flow.
Here are 7 ways to fly:
1. Use "Spare Change" Time
You're dressed and ready to go but you don't have to leave for 10 minutes. What do you do? Do you fritter away your "spare change" 5, 10 or 15 minutes or do you put them to good use? Use this spare change to find time for art. In 10 minutes I can clear off my desk; gesso a canvas; or check the pantry and fridge and circle items on my pre-printed shopping list that follows the store floor plan – a list, by the way, I created as part of my pre-flight plan which allows me to fly through the grocery store. Once more of your to do list is done using "spare change," guess what? There will be time for art!
2. Have a Pre-Flight plan
I have always planned ahead. I make a game of streamlining activities, errands, chores and anything else I can do to use my time efficiently, opening up the possibility to find time for art. This can be done with art, too! Don't wait for time to appear before you decide what to do with it or how to manage it. Be prepared with an Idea Notebook, a primed canvas, a journal, book or stitching you can turn to when time opens up. Plan your days accordingly so that your phone isn't the only thing handy to fill open time.
3. Remember to Glide
Birds conserve energy by gliding while in flight. In order to glide, they minimize resistance. You can minimize your own resistance by taking regular breaks. The longer you spend on a task, the more likely you are to lose clarity, focus, energy and lift. Take a 10 or 15 minute gliding break every 45 minutes to walk, stretch, and view the horizon. You will return refreshed and renewed and able to make the best use of your time.
4. Clear the Air
It is a rare person who does not have a pretty good idea how her day will unfold. Most of us operate within the confines of a routine created years ago and, hence, have become comfortable in a familiar routine that no longer serves us. What are you spending time doing that no longer serves you now? What activities, time-fillers and time-wasters can you recreate that will then allow you to find time for your art?
5. Beware of Canceled Flights
You will never be good at flying if you keep canceling your flights and instead giving other things, people and distractions priority. Treat yourself and your art time like the VIP that you are and pilot your way to Artlandia.
6. Eliminate Interruptions
Interruptions can come from the outside, like a text message, and from the inside (like my habit of getting up to see who's driving down our long mountain driveway). External interruptions can be prevented with a few simple methods and advance planning. It's the internal interruptions that clip your wings. Keep a flight log notebook next to you to make a list of all of the things you think you need to stop and do right away while you are in mid-flight. I'm pretty sure they can all wait until later and writing them down in your notebook will get them off your mind (for now).
7. Stop Multitasking
Studies show that you lose 15 minutes every time you switch between tasks. Time literally gets eaten up by the slowed momentum recovery when returning to a previous task. And by the way, if you are feeling like you don't get as much accomplished as you did say 5 or 10 years ago, it is because you have more opportunities and temptations to multitask than ever before. It's not your age slowing you down.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — Her family thought she had died peacefully in the middle of the night at a Spectrum Health nursing home on Fuller Avenue NE in Grand Rapids.
But Target 8 found state records showing the nursing home didn't tell Barnell Gunter's family, or the medical examiner, everything.
Among the details left out: a clogged breathing tube and the nurse who forgot to check it for two-and-a-half hours.
The mistake led to a fine of more than $24,000 and led Spectrum Health Rehab & Nursing Center to pay the family $150,000 in a settlement, state and court records show.
"They covered it up," said a woman close to Gunter. "They covered the whole story up. They don't want the truth to come out because the truth comes out, they know they're going to get in trouble."
Gunter, 77, a mother of six and a grandmother, had been sick for years, according to Kent County Probate Court files.
She had suffered a stroke, was diabetic, had dementia, schizophrenia and needed a tracheostomy tube since her heart attack in October 2012.
"It was the only way she could breathe," said the woman, who didn't want to be identified.
Gunter's children have signed a non-disclosure agreement with Spectrum, so they refused to comment.
Doctor's orders show Gunter wanted the nursing home to do everything it could to keep her alive — including suctioning the trach tube so it wouldn't fill with mucus, records show.
"It was kind of sad to see her diminish in her health," said the woman close to Gunter. "The sicker she got, she wasn't as spunky as she was, and it took away her happiness when she got sick."
She was on the second floor of Spectrum Health Rehab and Nursing Center, the old Kent Community Hospital.
With 278 beds, it's by far the biggest nursing home in Kent County. But it's also one of three in the county — out of 25 — to get the lowest rating in state health inspections: much below average.
The woman said that despite her illnesses, her family wasn't expecting her to go when she did.
"She was talking just fine the day before it happened, so I know she was in good spirits," the woman said.
Which is why, she said, the family asked the state to investigate after learning she died early in the morning on Aug. 30.
A complaint was filed 20 days later with the Michigan Bureau of Health Care Services Long-term Care Division, which monitors nursing homes — but state officials told Target 8 it was not self-reported by Spectrum.
A Spectrum Health spokeswoman acknowledged the home did not report the incident to the state, but it said it cooperated with investigators.
The state investigation revealed new details of Gunter's last hours.
State records show a certified nurse assistant was filling in on the short-staffed second floor on Aug. 29.
When she checked just after 11 p.m., Barnell appeared restless, moving her head back and forth. Her trach tube "sounded full," according to the state report.
The assistant told the registered nurse, who said she would suction it.
But the RN was busy with a patient who had fallen and later told the state "it just slipped my mind."
Two-and-a half hours later, at 1:40 a.m., she checked on Gunter.
Gunter wasn't breathing. She had no heartbeat.
It's possible, said Kent County Medical Examiner Dr. Stephen Cohle, that she suffered that night in her room.
"If they are alert and suddenly are unable to breathe, then I think it could be uncomfortable," Cohle said.
A nursing home respiratory therapist rushed to Barnell's room on a "code blue," records show. She told state investigators that the nurse was holding the tube and "kept saying she couldn't get it back in."
The therapist put it back in. But, by then, the patient was cold and blue and her arms were hard to straighten out, like she'd been there for a while, records show.
The ambulance paramedic who treated her told the state: "No one seemed to know when or how the trach came out, or for how long it had been out."
Gunter died despite rescue attempts at the home and at Butterworth Hospital.
The death certificate lists the cause of death as natural, making no mention of the trach tube.
A separate medical examiner's report, obtained by Target 8, shows it appeared Gunter's trach tube dislodged during respiratory failure and cardiac arrest, but the report mentions nothing about the clog or
the two-and-a-half hour delay.
"We should be told, our investigator, from the get-go, what happened, everything that happened," Cohle said.
Cohle said she could have survived, had the nursing home immediately cleared the clogged tube.
"She may not have died right when she did," Cohle said. "She may have lived minutes longer, a day longer, maybe several weeks. I assume she's in pretty bad shape if she's in that situation, but she probably wouldn't have died when she did."
After the state investigation, the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) fined the
home $24,100 for putting residents in "immediate jeopardy."
It also withheld Medicare and Medicaid payments for new patients for nearly seven weeks.
Probate court records show the nursing home settled with the family for $150,000 — a settlement approved by a judge late last month.
"The issue is what seems to be neglect on the part of the nursing home," Cohle said. "They didn't report it to us. As the ME, that's my biggest concern… I want to know stuff, and I don't care who it is, what institution it is. I'm wearing my medical examiner hat, I work for the county and this goes into a report that's public record."
Cohle said his office, which investigated the death, likely would not have changed the cause of death — from natural — but may have included the blocked airway.
It also would have immediately reported the incident to the state, he said.
"There may be mistakes, but if there are, report them, get them out in the open, or at least get them to the state agency, 'Hey we screwed up,' and tell the ME."
After the investigation, Spectrum took the registered nurse "off the schedule," state records show. It also agreed to make changes, including checking on trach patients every hour.
Target 8 tried to reach the president of Spectrum Health Continuing Care, Jeffrey Mislevy, but he wasn't home.
A Spectrum spokeswoman later released a statement: "I can now confirm that we did not formally self-report. We did fully cooperate with the state and disclosed information. We also reached a settlement with the family and implemented a preventive action plan that was reviewed and accepted by the state."
Spectrum also said it regretted the unfortunate death and that it had expressed its sympathy to the family.
The woman close to Gunter said Spectrum should have taken action against the home's administrators.
"They should be fired, immediately, and they should be prosecuted," she said. "That's how I feel, because if it was their loved ones, they'd feel the same way."

The producer price index for the industrial sector rose 5 percent year-on-year in March, faster than 4.3 percent increase in February.
On a monthly basis, the PPI increased 0.8 percent last month. Compared to February, PPI was influenced by the increase in prices for electricity and heat energy production and manufacture of food products.
The statistical office also reported that import prices decreased 1 percent year-on-year, but rose 0.6 percent on a monthly basis. Export prices fell 0.6 percent annually while it increased 0.2 percent compared to February.

New technologies are forcing media agencies to reassess their business models as audiences migrate away from traditional channels and scatter, according to one media expert. Media agencies could be split in two, said Mark Holden, head of global strategy at PHD said during a keynote speech at the Cannes Lions festival yesterday.A move towards bid-based trading and the possibility of media futures trading will force the split, according to industry insiders.Holden warned it is time for media agencies to start thinking about "picking a side", as it is increasingly likely that there will be a separation in how media agencies will operate.The two sides? Bid-based management and innovation, Holden said. In another stark prediction, Holden said that in just five years time, social media will be "baked in" to the heart of all campaigns with brands employing dedicated teams to manage social sentiment around the clock.Social expertise is expected to become a real specialism with superstars in the field appearing by 2016. Also speaking yesterday was Peter Vesterbacka, creator of Angry Birds, who shared some handy tips that marketers can use and propel their brands forward. He said that keeping the target audience broad is a good idea and advised, "Marketing is not rocket science. Two things must be borne in mind - fans, and the brand itself."His tips include keeping the brand at the forefront at all times, giving the brand a distinct character and making it addictive and accessible.

"In my campaign literature for state assembly, I stated that I have a PhD from USC. While I have finished all of my course work, I technically am only a PhD candidate," said Cristina Garcia, a candidate in the 58th Assembly District race whose academic qualifications and titles have become an issue in the race.
Garcia, who previously ran unsuccessfully for a seat on the Bell Gardens City Council, became an outspoken voice for "Basta!," an anti-corruption group in the city of Bell, where a number of elected and appointed city officials were forced out of office as part of corruption probe and recall campaign.
During the recall, challengers to the incumbents supported by Basta demanded greater transparency in government.
Garcia released the statement on Oct. 11 along with copies of her USC transcripts.
"I have yet to finish the final process of my PhD, which is defending my dissertation. I will fulfill that final responsibility in the near future," Garcia explained.
Garcia said she "humbly" apologizes for "using the term PhD instead of PhD candidate" in her campaign material.
She goes on to explain that she completed her class work in 2009 and took her exams to receive the PhD in Public Administration…
"Again, I ask forgiveness and understanding of all the voters of the 58th Assembly District. I remain dedicated to helping to provide the people I hope to serve with government that is transparent and ethical."
The 58th Assembly district includes the cities of Bell Gardens, Montebello, Commerce, Downey, Artesia, Santa Fe Springs, Pico Rivera, and Norwalk.
Garcia's opponent is republican candidate Patricia Kotze-Ramos. Garcia and Kotze-Ramos received more votes than incumbent Tom Calderon in the June 2012 primary election.

Automatic Hook, Latch and Release System - 5000kg
Magnetic remote controlled automatic hook system.
Sels presents the first and only automatic remote control hook that picks up and releases the load, avoiding and handling and travelling.
The patented hook generates a magnetic field that attracts and guides the ring or the sling. The user presses a button on the remote control. Then the hook closes automatically and starts catching and elevating the load. The user doesn't handle any load.
This system works with cable and chain slings, traditional hoist rings, textile slings and even with big bags.
- Tested according to EN-1677 (forged hooks) in Applus.
- Safe Working Load of 5 tonnes, 5000 kg.
- Produced according to ISO 9001.
- Swivel eye.
- Removable and rechargeable Lithium battery.
- Flexible antenna (up to 100M reach).
- Steel body, high resistance.
- Aluminium frame.
- Forged steel hook.
- spring driven safety trigger.
- Plastic paint.
- The Automatic hooking system can not drop suspended loads, even if the crane's operator tries to release it.
- Safety factor 4 : 1
- It does not require installation.
- CE compliant.
This system has two particularisation's:
- It incorporates a motor that by means of the remote control allow to open and close the hook.
- It incorporates a generator of magnetic field formed by 24 neodymium magnets.
Remote Control
The system is supplied with its own remote control, not needing any further installation. Properly installed by qualified personnel (crane installation service), the automatic hooking system can be controlled, using a free channel of the crane control.
- It is possible to hook and unhook remotely.
- No need to move up and down the truck bed or climb to elevated and dangerous places.
- The user can choose the most convenient slinging method for each application: metal rings, cable slings, textile slings, etc.
- This system brings to your company productivity, safety and comfort.
- Increased productivity: by saving time, reducing injuries, staff savings, saving machinery (basket lift, forklift,...)
Security Enhancements Including
- Altitude operations, eliminating the risk of a fatal accident.
- Reducing injuries and chronic ailments by eliminating repetitive movements and displacements.
- Eliminates the risk of hand injuries (cuts, crushing, etc.). by not having to touch slings and other lifting accessories.
- In handling toxic materials, prevents operator contact with the same.
- In areas with high temperatures or presence of toxic gases, prevents exposing workers.
- This increases user comfort in the workplace, reducing the effort needed.
- Improve working conditions, while productivity and safety
Q - How can the system not drop loads even if the operator tries to release it?
A - The reason the hook cannot drop suspended loads is because the electric motor on the hook cannot lift more then 4 kgs due to it not having enough torque to lift more than that. Secondly the electric circuit is constantly sensing any load above 2 kg and monitors it when approaching the 4 kg threshold cut the signal. Thirdly it has the safe mode of double clicking the remote if required.
Q - What type of frequency does your remote run on and has it been approved for sale in the US?
A - The frequency is 868 for Europe, but does have the range to swap from 864 to 869. It has been approved for sale in the US but under a different frequency, 915MHz.
Q - Are there any problems with the remote control interfering with each other in separate operations?
A - There is no problem with running multiple hooks in close proximity, it runs on an encrypted message with 65,000 possibilities that follows a specific protocol. It will not cause conflict with other hooks.

Jon Stewart gives pointers to Ron Paul
Ron Paul did the now required appearance on Jon Stewart's Daily Show. Jon Stewart was not only gracious but offered some sage advice on managing the other candidates during the debates. They had a civil conversation.
Mr. Paul presented well – to my surprise. Mr. Paul noted that the other candidates are not very good conservatives saying, "They did not want to go to Kosovo' because military meddling is not a conservative principle.
Jon Stewart commended Paul saying, "You are a man of consistent principle, and the people don't like that…"
Paul responded with "I've even suggested we follow the constitution."
Stewart, It seems the others are "…only against government they can't control…"
Paul responded generously, that is "a temptation most people can't control…"
Stewart asked about Paul's relationship with other candidates and Paul deadpanned, "Romney said hello once."
Then Stewart offered some 'zingers' for Paul to use on the other candidates in the debate – this guy is really funny and Ron Paul was a gracious guest.

The midfielder, who has been capped once by the England senior side, moved to South Wales for a fee of £5 million last week, after finding first-team opportunities limited at Liverpool.
|Swansea are 20/1 with BetVictor to finish in the top six next season
"Less than two hours after I had agreed to sign, people were coming up to me in the local Sainsbury's in Swansea for autographs and pictures," said the 21-year-old.
"When I spoke to the Swansea chairman [Huw Jenkins], he said they had been tracking me from my Charlton days. I also heard of a link when Joe Allen was going to Liverpool, but that never happened.
"It raised its head again over the summer and I was following it in the papers every morning while on holiday until it happened for real."
The Swans will make their debut in the Europa League this season following last term's Capital One Cup success, and Shelvey is relishing the opportunity to play on the European stage again.
"I've played European football for the last two seasons," he added.
"It's exciting for the fans and I'm sure the atmosphere will be buzzing at the Liberty for the night games.
"It will also give the players experience of going to different countries and facing different styles of play."

Southwestern Potato Skins
From Clean Eating Magazine Jan/Feb 2013
Makes 16 snacks
Eight 6-ounce potatoes, scrubbed
½ medium red onion, chopped finely
1 small jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 large tomato, seeded and diced
½ cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed
½ cup frozen corn kernels
1 ½ teaspoons ground cumin
¾ teaspoon chile powder
2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil
½ teaspoon salt
½ to ¾ cup shredded cheddar cheese
½ to 1 cup lowfat sour cream
Several sprigs of cilantro, finely chopped
¼ cup finely chopped scallions (optional)
1. Preheat oven to 425F. Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly mist with cooking spray. Prick each potato with a fork several times and arrange on baking sheet. Bake for 50 minutes, turning once, until potatoes are tender when pierced with a knife. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely, about 1 hour.
2. While potatoes are cooling, make filling: In a large nonstick skillet sprayed lightly with cooking spray over medium heat, cook onion and jalapeno together, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add tomato, black beans, corn, cumin, and chile powder, stirring to combine, and cook for 5 minutes. Remove from heat. (Steps 1 and 2 can be made ahead of time. Cover each separately and refrigerate up to a day in advance. Start Step 3 about 15 to 20 minutes before you're ready to serve.)
3. Preheat broiler. If you've made your potatoes and filling ahead of time, line a baking sheet with foil lightly sprayed with cooking spray. Otherwise, reuse the baking sheet you baked your potatoes on in Step 1. Cut potatoes in half, lengthwise, and scoop out the flesh, leaving a ¼-inch shell, reserving the insides for another use. Place potatoes, skin side up on prepared baking sheet, drizzle lightly with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt. Broil potatoes for 4 to 5 minutes or until the skins are golden and crisp.
4. To assemble: Remove potatoes from oven, leaving the broiler on, and carefully flip then over so the skin side is down. (Use tongs—they'll be hot.) Fill each potato with bean mixture and top with a mound of shredded cheese. Return to oven and broil for 1 to 2 minutes more, until cheese is melted and bubbly. Remove from oven and top with sour cream, cilantro, and scallions if using. Serve immediately.
