Greens Call For Liveable Apartments
In a major shakeup to apartment living, the Victorian Greens have launched a detailed plan to deliver high quality, affordable and sustainable apartment housing.
Apartment living is a reality for many people in Victoria, and it should not come with a list of compromises. The state government has failed to deal with many of the issues facing apartment dwellers, and the Greens have a plan to ensure the Government can't ignore these issues any longer.
The Greens' plan includes.
- Changing the rules to give people in apartments access to solar panels.
- Mandating minimum apartment sizes and and distances between apartment buildings.
- Regulating apartments that are let out full-time only as short-stays, to make sure apartment towers don't just become de facto hotels which push up rent prices.
- Requiring the state Government to immediately intervene to pay to fix flammable cladding and then reclaim the costs from developers or builders, rather than leaving it to owners to fix the mess
- Providing a third weekly bin collection - for kitchen waste - for all Victorian residents to reduce waste going to landfill, which is especially important for apartments where on-site composting is difficult.
- Capping rent rises at inflation so housing stays affordable, especially in the inner city
- Mandating green roofs or solar panels for all new apartment buildings.
Wynne must rule out overturning or intervening in Fed Square heritage listing: Greens
The Greens today challenged Planning Minister Richard Wynne to rule out overruling Heritage Victoria's recommendation to give Federation Square heritage protection, and have vowed to make it a key issue in the marginal seat of Richmond in the upcoming election if he does.
Greens MP for Melbourne, Ellen Sandell, warmly welcomed Heritage Victoria's recommendation to include Federation Square on the Victorian Heritage Register.
"Federation Square is Melbourne's public square, and an essential part of Victoria's cultural history and it should be properly recognised under Victoria's heritage laws"
But the Greens warned that Planning Minister and Richmond Labor MP Richard Wynne could "call in" the heritage application and essentially overrule the decision to make way for a big Apple megastore.Read more
North Melbourne Language and Learning Consultation Evening
North Melbourne Language and Learning are holding a consultation for men from migrant/refugee/asylum seeker backgrounds in the innernorth of Melbourne.
The consultation will take place on Wednesday 24 October from 6pm – 8.30pm. Dinner will be provided from 6pm – 6.30pm for participants.
The focus of this consultation is to invite men from the local community to start to talk with NMLL regarding what their needs and aspirations are and how NMLL can work with the men in the community to address these needs and support them to achieve their aspirations.
At NMLL there is currently greater participation from women in the community in our training programs and community initiatives than there are men.
NMLL would like to hear from the men in the community to see how we can change this imbalance and especially if the men in the community are keen to work with us on priority issues that impact on them.Read more
Greens Plan to Stop Invasives
The Victorian Greens will commit $240 million over four years to manage invasive plants and animals, as feral deer, foxes, goats, cats, rabbits, pigs and weeds threaten the state's natural environment and farmland.
The plan includes the creation of a new Invasive Species Management Authority to coordinate an effective statewide approach targeting the worst invasive species, including $40 million to manage feral deer and $40 million for research into new and humane control methods.
The Greens will also end the use of recreational hunting as a key way to deal with invasive species, arguing it is ineffective, unsafe and often inhumane.Read more

from Maurice Ostroff, in response to their strong criticism of chief Rabbi Goldstein's letter to Archbishop Tutu and their allegation that Israel is an apartheid state
Click here for follow-up correspondence with Dorothy Naor
I refer to your, article "IF THIS IS NOT APARTHEID, THEN WHAT IS?"
in the Johannesburg Star of November 10, 2010
Professor Boesak, I sincerely respect your role in 1983 as a patron of one of the most important anti-apartheid organizations of the period, the United Democratic Front, as way back in the 1940's I too, was an anti-apartheid activist as a member of the radical WW2 ex-serviceman's Springbok Legion, the first mass anti-apartheid movement of whites with nearly 60,000 members including a large proportion of Jews.
Professor Esack, I also respect and admire your anti-apartheid activities as well as your humanitarian work as a founder member of the Positive Muslims, dedicated to helping HIV-positive Muslims in Africa with its stated objective of encouraging compassion, mercy and non-judgementalism towards all human kind.
I therefore observe with sadness that you departed from the non-judgmentalism that you advocate in accusing Israel of being an apartheid state,. However, because I accept your sincere intentions, I believe the accusations you made were based on misinformation disseminated by mainstream media. Please therefore, allow me to provide a few accurate examples that will no doubt convince you that although Israel, like South Africa has its faults, "apartheid" is certainly not one of them.
You incorrectly claim that Rabbi Goldstein conflated (did not distinguish) between life inside Israel and life in the occupied territories. The fact is that in response to Archbishop Tutu's call for a boycott of the State of Israel (which by definition does not include the occupied territories) Rabbi Goldstein specifically spoke of the Israel to which Tutu referred. This is what Rabbi Goldstein wrote absolutely correctly. "In the State of Israel all citizens – Jew and Arab – are equal before the law. Israel has no Population Registration Act, no Group Areas Act, no Mixed Marriages and Immorality Act, no Separate Representation of Voters Act, no Separate Amenities Act, no pass laws, or any of the myriad apartheid laws".
I add that they are antithetical to the tenets in Israel's Declaration of Independence, which declares that the state "will foster the development of the country for the benefit of all its inhabitants; it will be based on freedom, justice and peace as envisaged by the prophets of Israel; it will ensure complete equality of social and political rights to all its inhabitants irrespective of religion, race or sex; it will guarantee freedom of religion, conscience, language, education and culture; it will safeguard the Holy Places of all religions; and it will be faithful to the principles of the Charter of the United Nations".
Supreme Court judgments prove beyond doubt that all citizens of Israel, Arab, Jew, Christian and others are equal before the law.
As pointed out by Rabbi Goldstein it is undeniable that Israel is a vibrant liberal democracy with a free press and independent judiciary, and accords full political, religious and other human rights to all its peoples, including its 1 million-plus Arab citizens, many of whom hold positions of authority including that of cabinet minister, member of parliament, and judge at every level of the judiciary, including that of the Supreme Court of Israel. All citizens vote on the same roll in regular, multi-party elections.
Yes you are correct in pointing out that there is a difference between the laws in Israel and the West Bank and here one must distinguish between areas A, B and C as spelled out in the Oslo agreements. There is not space here to discuss the status of the West Bank but I suggest that you will find a booklet by Australian lawyer Ian Lacey very informative. It is available at http://www.maurice-ostroff.org/?page_id=134
Sadly, the Palestinians do suffer serious hardships and disadvantages but in seeking the truth one cannot ignore that the checkpoints and the security barrier did not just happen in a vacuum. They are reactions to very real security problems in which thousands of Israelis died in terror attacks and fair minded people should see the situation in its context.
Prior to the outbreak of the second "Intifada" in September 2000, there was no need for checkpoints and the security barrier. Palestinian and Israeli business people and merchandise moved feely between the West Bank and Gaza (WBG) and Israel and Palestinian workers freely entered Israel without interference. 146,000 Palestinians were working in Israel and the settlements with average wages 70 to 75% higher than those in the WBG and in neighboring countries.
Israel and the PA cooperated in creating employment opportunities along the "seam-line" and a successful industrial zone was created at Erez which employed about 5,000 workers in some 200 businesses half of which were Palestinian-owned. They produced everything from plastics to car parts and continued to do so even as the Israeli-Palestinian conflict raged. This was part of a larger Gaza Industrial Estate (GIE), slated to provide up to 50,000 jobs. In addition a joint industrial zone was planned south of Tulkarm intended to provide jobs for more than 5,000 Palestinians. Additional areas were planned for Jenin and the Kerem Shalom area near Rafah in Gaza. But all these positive efforts were unfortunately thwarted when the GIE zone became the target of deadly Palestinian attacks
In today's Israel proper, an unblinkered visit to a hospital or shopping mall will convince the most biased individual about the complete absence of any form of apartheid. Arabs and Jews mix freely in the shopping malls and Arab and Jewish doctors collaborate in the hospitals. In some hospitals Arabs outnumber Jewish patients. The Hadassah Medical Organization which operates two hospitals in Jerusalem, treats thousands of patients of diverse ethnic backgrounds annually, without any trace of discrimination. Its international reputation in the Middle East region by providing equal treatment to Palestinians and Israelis was recognized by nomination for the 2005 Nobel Peace Prize. All very different from the separate hospitals in apartheid South Africa.
The Schneider Children's Hospital, like other Israeli hospitals, provides equal specialized treatment to children from Israel, the PA and neighboring countries. Some 30% of patients come from the Arab sectors and neighboring countries. Even in times of terror, the hospital welcomes Palestinians.
Does all this remotely resemble "apartheid"?
You justifiably refer to poverty in Arab communities in Israel. Yes, although there are many very wealthy Arabs and Palestinians, very sadly we cannot deny that poverty does exist in the Arab sector as it does in some Jewish sectors as well. According to a BBC report some 50% of Israeli Arabs live in poverty, as do 60% of ultra-orthodox Jews, compared to 20% of all Israelis. See http://tinyurl.com/27e5xv2
This is an unacceptable situation that must be, and is, being corrected but I ask you to evaluate the situation here in the same manner as you evaluate it in the new South Africa. In fact I admire your courage in publicly criticizing the failures of the new South African government to live up to our high expectations and in your words, for bringing back "the hated system of racial categorization". You were courageous too, in slamming the SA government for applying Black Economic Empowerment (BEE) in a discriminatory manner and for failing to improve the lot of colored communities. Even ANC treasurer-general Mathews Phosa has been quoted as saying that BEE "has created millionaires and superstars while our people should rather have been equipped with basic skills."
I don't for one moment quote these unpleasant facts in SA to justify negative aspects in Israel. But I do ask you to treat aspects of Israel in their proper context. Though you acknowledge that there are manifestations of apartheid in South Africa, neither you nor I would think of advocating sanctions. We prefer to constructively emphasize and support the positive aspects and all I ask is that you adopt an even handed attitude by applying the same approach to Israel.
As in South Africa, where, despite the imperfections, real progress has been made and is being made, so too, in Israel encouraging positive moves to improve the economic situation of the Arab communities are being made that are ignored by those who report only on our warts. For example, the Israeli cabinet recently committed additional 800m shekels to economic infrastructure, housing and transportation in 12 Arab localities.
In Nazareth, a unit funded by the government and private investors, known as Generation Technology is promoting Arab companies that will ultimately impact the world. It is one of 20 similar incubators that each house about 20 startups assisting Arab entrepreneurs. One of their companies, VPSign, has developed a technology that assigns a digital signature in face-to-face settings where an official signature has to be digitally recorded. Another, Lostam Biopharmaceuticals has found a way to overcome bacterial resistance to antibiotics through the development of a new antibody platform.
The incubators have already produced about 50 Israeli Arab biotech companies that have made their mark in the business world.
Rather than reject Rabbi Warren Goldstein's sincere plea that "Without truth there can be no justice, and without justice there can be no peace" I hope you will agree that we won't make progress towards understanding each other unless we make an effort to think beyond our preconceived ideas in seeking truth and justice.
You slate Israel for the fact that it is impossible to marry, except in religious courts. Marriages are not performed in courts in Israel but, as in Jordan, they are performed in religious ceremonies by all religious denominations, Muslim, Christian or Jewish and this has nothing at all to do with apartheid. In fact unlike in our neighboring states there is a great deal of public pressure to introduce civil marriage in Israel. If you consider religious marriage to be objectionable you may perhaps find time to compare the marriage laws in Saudi Arabia for example, where children as young as eight are unwillingly married to older men under religious law, where public worship by any faith other than Islam is not tolerated and where the wearing of crosses or any other religious symbol is prohibited. http://tinyurl.com/d9jnhs
The fact is that the great majority of Israelis would like to shake off the burden of involvement with the governance of the Palestinian people and I now ask you, in all sincerity, to offer some constructive suggestions that will help us figure out how we can achieve peace with our neighbors without committing suicide. In doing so please take into account
1) Israel's willingness and anxiety to make peace with its neighbors has been unequivocally proved by the facts that
a) under the so-called hawkish government of Begin, Israel relinquished the entire Sinai with its oilfields in order to gain peace with Egypt
b) under the so-called hawkish government of Ariel Sharon Israel evacuated settlements in Gaza and transferred 3,000 greenhouses to the PA that offered an opportunity to create thousands of jobs and profitable exports. Instead of the peaceful coexistence Israel expected, the Gazans willfully destroyed the greenhouses and fired thousands of rockets into civilian centers
c) The offers made by Ehud Barak and Ehud Olmert when they were prime ministers were rejected.
2) The question must be asked how peace can be achieved while the Hamas charter, unlike the South African Freedom Charter, declares there is absolutely no room for peaceful negotiation.and while article 13 of the Hamas Charter declares that initiatives, and so-called peaceful solutions and international conferences, are in contradiction to the principles of the Islamic Resistance Movement, that there is no solution for the Palestinian question except through Jihad and that initiatives, proposals and international conferences are all a waste of time and vain endeavors
In seeking a peaceful settlement, Israel's security concerns cannot be overlooked, especially in view of the intense rocket attacks experienced from Gaza. A glance at the attached map illustrates the concern at the possibility of rocket firing groups being stationed in the West Bank opposite Ben Gurion airport. What kind of assurance would you offer in a comprehensive peace agreement?
This letter is being publicized and my readers will be very anxious to learn your considered opinion which will be similarly publicized.
Sincerely, Maurice Ostroff

Allan Boesak and Farid Esack
In the opening lines of an open letter to Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu, Rabbi Warren Goldstein, leader of the South Africa's Orthodox Jews, makes a plea that: "Without truth there can be no justice, and without justice there can be no peace." If ever there was a case of a single swallow not heralding summer, alas, this is it. The rest of his article bears little relationship to the truth:
1. "Jew and Arab – are equal before the law."
Goldstein conflates life inside Israel and life in the occupied territories. Jews and Palestinian citizens in Israel are certainly not equal before the law: one set of laws does provide for equal rights, but another equally formidable set provides for separate and superior rights for Jews. Presently Israel has several Basic Laws that confirm this inequality, so the system is codified and formal: discrimination within Israel is official. A state founded for any ethnic or religious community cannot but be one that must necessarily discriminate against others. In the occupied Palestinian territories, Jews enjoy special protections and rights to settle and conduct business, and Palestinian civilians as non-Jews are denied those rights.
In both areas, there is certainly a "Population Registration Act": everyone in Israel and the occupied territories is identified by ethnicity – Jewish, Arab, Druze or whatever — and this is listed on their ID cards. All rights and privileges in Israel follow from these distinctions. Hence there is a Group Areas Act, too – people who are Jewish can live in certain areas (actually, 93 percent of Israel is reserved exclusively for Jews) and people who are not Jewish are banned from living in those areas. If there is no "Mixed Marriages Act" per se, there are still laws that prohibit Palestinian spouses from the occupied territories from living with Israeli spouses, a prohibition of civil marriage (it is impossible to marry in Israel except in religious courts,) and a host of laws, rules and codes that keep the populations strictly apart. Petty apartheid is hardly required where segregation is absolute.
Israel indeed has no "Separate Representation of Voters Act" but for two unpleasant reasons. First, half of the entire population under Israel's control (the 5 million Palestinians living under Israeli military rule in the West Bank and Gaza Strip) are not allowed to vote at all. Every one of the five million people living here can attest plenty to Israel's draconian pass laws, which constrict and destroy their life chances every single day. Second, twenty percent of Israeli citizens are Palestinians and can vote, but are not allowed to vote for any party or law that alters Jewish national supremacy and special privileges. That is like giving the vote to slaves but preventing them from voting against slavery.
2. "Israel accords full political, religious and other human rights to all its people, including its … Arab citizens."
Goldstein need only ring up any Palestinian mayor, public figure or Knesset representative to be corrected on this. The poverty and isolation of Palestinian Arab communities in Israel is notorious. Of course, there are Arab parties that do provide some Palestinian representation in Israeli politics. But this representation is akin to Apartheid's Tricameral Parliament of the 1980s: they operate in highly constrained conditions and have been unable in those roles to relieve the endemic poverty and isolation of their communities, or to alter the edifice of racism that suffocates their communities. And again, some five million Palestinians under Israeli rule remain entirely excluded from the political system solely because they are not Jews and have no rights whatsoever except what Israeli military law provides them.
3. "The other untruth is the accusation of illegal occupation of Arab land."
According to Goldstein, Israel is not "occupying" the West Bank and Gaza Strip but reclaiming these areas for ancient Jewish sentiment dating to antiquity. Only religious fundamentalists insist on their own religious texts as the only arbiter between them and others. God is reduced to a dishonest estate agent who parcels out land to His Favorites, land with borders clearly demarcated as if these were registered in a 20th century title deeds office – all at a time thousands of years ago when national boundaries were rather unknown. This sort of thinking is simply outdated – it belongs to a time of colonial conquest and racial domination.
Remember Uitgegee op gesag van die Hoogste se Hand! ("Given to us on the authority of God" While this is a phrase of Apartheid South Africa's, Song of the Flag, it may just as well have been an excerpt from Goldstein's article!)
Considering Goldstein's misleading analysis for a moment. How then are the indigenous people to express their own ancient claims to the land and their present political, social and cultural rights? This is the heart of Israel's apartheid doctrine: that, in the same territory, one group – Jews – has superior rights to another. And if the native people protest, or resist this disenfranchisement, this is seen as outrageous, backward, racism against Jews, an irrational blow against the unquestionable right of a hardworking settler society to fulfill its God-given Covenant and right to self-determination. All rather familiar stuff.
4. "… until the National Party was prepared to accept that black South Africans had a place in their own country, there could be no peace. And so too, until the Arab/Muslim world accepts that Jews have a right to a state of their own on their ancestral land, there will be no peace."
Goldstein had best draw the lesson from his own example: until the Israeli and Zionist movement is prepared to accept that Palestinians have a place in their (own!) country as equal citizens, there can be no peace – there should be no peace! The solution in South Africa was precisely NOT to accept separate black states, but to reject that "solution" for the lie that it was. Israel must give up the premise of separation – apartheid. Only then will the country be able to join the rest of the world (not just the Arab world) as a "normal" country.
The South African story is simple: states founded on ethnicity are unworkable and evil – it is reprehensible to synonimize your God, religion and your ethnicity and culture with an ideological state. The separation of people from people on the basis of religious or ethnic identity – apartheid – and the privileging of that identity over that of others is simply incompatible with the ideas of universal human rights.
It is in this context that we salute our dear friend and comrade, the Archbishop, for consistently carrying through the prophetic vision. This time, in actively responding to the Palestinian call for Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions of Israel until, in the least, Israel abides by international law and the universal principles of human rights.

as published in the Jerusalem Post
November 4, 2010
Dear Archbishop Desmond Tutu,
I write to you with a heavy heart. You are a revered leader in South Africa, and, recently, have added your iconic voice to the campaign for sanctions against Israel.
Archbishop, I feel compelled to write because I believe that you are making a terrible mistake. Without truth there can be no justice, and without justice there can be no peace. The Talmud says, "The world stands on three things: justice, truth and peace." These three values are inseparable. Archbishop, I am convinced that the sanctions campaign against Israel is morally repugnant because it is based on horrific and grotesquely false accusations against the Jewish people.
The truth, Archbishop, is that Israel is not an apartheid state. In the State of Israel all citizens – Jew and Arab – are equal before the law. Israel has no Population Registration Act, no Group Areas Act, no Mixed Marriages and Immorality Act, no Separate Representation of Voters Act, no Separate Amenities Act, no pass laws, or any of the myriad apartheid laws. Israel is a vibrant liberal democracy with a free press and independent judiciary, and accords full political, religious and other human rights to all its peoples, including its 1 million-plus Arab citizens, many of whom hold positions of authority including that of cabinet minister, member of parliament, and judge at every level of the judiciary, including that of the Supreme Court of Israel. All citizens vote on the same roll in regular, multi-party elections; there are Arab parties and Arab members of other parties in Israel's parliament. Arabs and Jews share all public facilities, including hospitals, and also malls, buses, cinemas and parks, and, Archbishop, that includes universities and opera houses.
The other untruth is the accusation of the illegal occupation of Arab land. Like the apartheid libel, this is outrageously false. There is no nation on earth that has a longer, deeper and more profound connection to their country than the Jewish people have to the land of Israel and the city of Jerusalem.
Archbishop, you and I as religious leaders always turn to the Bible as a source of truth. What does it mean that Israel is the "promised land"? It means, as we both know, that it was promised by G-d to the Jewish people as the descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. This promise was delivered upon by G-d, more than 3300 years ago when Joshua led the Jewish people into the land of Israel. Since then there has been an unbroken Jewish presence in the land of Israel, albeit small during the exile. All the books of the Hebrew Bible – Joshua, Judges, Samuel, Kings, Isaiah, Jeremiah etc. – describe the deep connection between Jews and the land of Israel, including the West Bank, whose biblical names are Judea and Samaria, the area that contained the great cities of the two previous Jewish commonwealths, such as Jericho, Shiloh, where the Tabernacle stood for hundreds of years, Bet El, where Jacob had his vision of the ladder, and Hebron, where Abraham, Isaac and Jacob are buried together with their wives Sarah, Rebecca and Leah.
Three thousand years ago great capitals of today did not exist. There was no London or Paris, no Washington or Moscow, no Pretoria or Cape Town but there was a Jerusalem, a Jewish city, capital of a Jewish state. "If I forget thee O Jerusalem let my right hand forget its cunning … if I fail to elevate Jerusalem above my foremost joy." Those words from Psalms are recited by Jews at every wedding; at every funeral the statement of comfort to the mourners refers to Zion and Jerusalem. Jews pray for Jerusalem three times a day and also in the grace after meals.
Archbishop, the Arab/Israeli conflict is not about a struggle against apartheid or occupation. It is a century-long war against the very existence of Jews and of a Jewish state in Israel. There have already been seven major Arab/Israeli wars since the birth of the modern state of Israel. Today the war front includes an alliance between Iran, Syria and Hezbollah, the latter now with 40 000 rockets aimed at Israeli cities. Iranian officers train Hezbollah forces, while Iran pursues nuclear weapons and openly declares its aim of wiping out Israel. Hamas, the Palestinian government in Gaza, sides with Iran and Hezbollah in rearming with the declared aim of destroying Israel.
Since 1967, one aspect of this century-long conflict has been the demand for a Palestinian state. In spite of the deep historical and religious roots of Jews in all of Israel, generations of Jewish leaders have been prepared for the sake of peace to give up ancestral and covenantal land to establish a Palestinian state. So why has there not been peace? The ANC taught us that you can't make peace on your own. No matter how much the ANC was committed to a peaceful resolution of the South African conflict, until the National Party was prepared to accept that Black South Africans had a place in their own country, there could be no peace. And so too until the Arab/Muslim world accepts that Jews have a right to a state of their own on their ancestral land of Israel, there will be no peace. Jews accepted the United Nations Resolution establishing a Jewish state and a Palestinian state in 1948 but the Arab world rejected it and 5 countries invaded Israel to destroy it. After that, the West Bank and Gaza were in Arab hands until 1967. There was an opportunity then – every day for almost twenty years – to establish a Palestinian state. It never happened. And since then there have been numerous opportunities – each rejected by Arab leaders. Why? Because this war has been more about the destruction of the Jewish state than about the establishment of a Palestinian state. Even today so-called moderate Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas denies Israel's right to exist as a Jewish state.
In 2000, the Palestinian leadership launched a massive war of suicide bombers into Israel, leading to more than 1300 Israeli civilian deaths and 10 000 injuries. Proportionately such carnage in South Africa would mean more than 10 000 killed and more than 80 000 injured. Israel erected a security fence with checkpoints to shield it from the attacks launched from the disputed territories. Archbishop, you compare these checkpoints to apartheid South Africa. But they are not about pass laws, which don't exist in Israeli law. They are on the border between sovereign Israeli territory and the disputed territories of the West Bank and Gaza in order to protect civilians from being murdered, and have been very successful in doing so. These checkpoints – like those which are found at all airports, where people undergo careful security scrutiny, and often invasive searches – are there to prevent suicide bombers from blowing up innocent people.
Archbishop, do not bestow respectability on the immoral sanctions campaign – an affront to truth and justice, which prevents peace and prolongs the terrible suffering of people on both sides of this painful conflict. Archbishop, let us pray for an end to all this agony, and for the fulfilment of the verse in the Book of Isaiah, "And the L-rd G-d will wipe away the tears from all faces."
Yours sincerely,
Chief Rabbi Warren Goldstein

San Francisco Map Collagescape, mixed media on board, 12"x12"
The other morning I woke with a start and an idea in my head. Most of my ideas come first thing in the morning. There needed to be a piece in the Collagescape Series with a strong map element. After years of doing map-based work, it would not be one of my series without at least one map-themed piece. So here it is, the map of San Francisco given the Collagescape treatment. This piece has already been sold. But you will get a chance to see it in person at the Collagescape exhibit opening in August.
This image is available as a print as well on another products from Society 6.

Sensational TV series Chernobyl HBO
"The whole truth you will never know": the liquidator about Chernobyl.
More recently, all 5 episodes of the trend series on Chernobyl from HBO were released. If you have not had time to look - we advise you to do this, you will not remain indifferent for sure. The creators of "Chernobyl" worked with documents, consulted with experts and participants of those events, but perhaps it is not worth studying the history of the Chernobyl tragedy.
Chernobyl "divers" survived!
In the series, they portrayed as people who went to certain death and left for at least a week to live. However, all three remained alive after the assignment. The shift supervisor Boris Baranov died only 19 years later - in 2005, senior engineer Alexei Ananenko is currently retired, and middle-level engineer Valery Bespalov works as a dispatcher on duty at the State Nuclear Regulatory Inspectorate.
Despite this, the media continues to "bury" Chernobyl divers.
Helicopter falling into the reactor
A scene is shown where the Mi-8 helicopter falls into the reactor on April 27, 1986. In fact, the accident happened in the fall of 1986. The pilot did not see the cable that was coming from the construction crane against the sun, the helicopter caught him with blades and collapsed on the roof of the engine room of the fourth power unit.
Naked miners
It was very hot, the miners worked in white suits: station hats, jackets and pants. Perhaps someone unbuttoned his jacket, but no one worked naked.
Uliana Khomyuk in reality was not
She is a fictional character, a collective image of all the scientists who participated in the liquidation assistance.
Despite the fact that in the HBO Chernobyl series you can find many inconsistencies with real events and artistic fiction, it's still worth watching. The series told people around the world about the heroism of the liquidators, provoked great interest in the subject of Chernobyl.

You may be forgiven if you are reminded of some classic Kenny Rogers when I say that any hand you are dealt can be a winner or a loser. When you look at the cards in your hand, you have to weigh the probability of your hand improving with the next cards dealt and whether your opponent is holding a better hand than you. Below we list some of the dangerous poker hands to avoid, ranging from those that can trap the unsuspecting poker player to ones that should just be avoided because you should know better.
2-7 Off Suit
This is the worst hand in Texas Hold'em and is well known as such. Before you've even seen the flop, the hand has eliminated the possibility of either a straight (too large a gap between cards) or a flush (it is an off suit). If you are "lucky" enough to turn up a second 7, the odds are still against you, as your opponent will probably have a better hand. The best possible end to holding this hand is a full house, but the odds are remote at best. Even if your 2 - 7 happens to be suited, the chances of turning up a flush are remote and can be handily beaten by anyone with the same suited cards and a lead card of 8 or higher.
Queen-Jack Off Suit
This is one of the trapping hands that can hurt your stacks if you are not careful. Your first thought may be how can I go wrong with two face cards, but just because they look good pre-flop does not mean that they will look anywhere near as good afterwards. Yes, they are high cards, but they lose out to either a king or an ace, and with the two cards being off suit, the possibility of a flush is eliminated.
Small Pairs
Save the small pairs for when you are in heads up play and you only have one opponent to beat. When you are holding a pair of fours in your mitts, but you have a couple opponents still in the hand, chances are that they will either have something better or have higher cards that they can beat you with the flop. If you go into a hand with a small pair and expect to come out with trips every time, your bankroll will pay the price.
Face Card - Low Card Unsuited
The gap between the cards eliminates any chance of a straight so you are left looking for a high pair that will see you through. If you hit a pair for your face cards than it is all good, but remember that the chances that you turn up one of the other three matching cards out of the entire deck is a slim proposition.
Ace - Low Card
You are either looking for another ace to pair your high card with or pair to the low card, which will give you an ace kicker to boot. Of course that only does you any good if the pair your opponent is holding either matches or is lower than your own.
Back in 2012 we wrote a blog post about playing A-J and A-10 that you might find useful, while they are not hands to avoid, they are hands that you should play with caution.

What a way to start 2017! We're so excited that Time Machine Tours was featured on Entrepreneur.com. "4 Startups Revolutionizing the EdTech World" recognized Studypool, Peergrade, Classtag, and Time Machine Tours as leaders in the educational technology realm.
"The app offers tours that utilize augmented reality, with which users can hold their phones over the actual locations. This creates the illusion that makes users feel as if they're staring into the past. Like it or not, it is a much more engaging way to learn history than reading in a classroom or library."

Blends into the city centre a bit, as if you continue along Western Road from the shopping centre, you'll end up in Hove. Quieter, boutique shopping is available along the main streets in Brighton's sister city.
Hove is a big place to cover in one guide, but, since part of the appeal of Hove is that it is a bit quieter and more relaxed, it's easy enough to cover the key areas.
If you continue along Western Road from the shopping centre, it becomes Church Road at Palmeira Square, which feels like a nice place to say Hove centre starts and Brighton stops. You'll initially pass a lot of bars, restaurants and pubs (see here for more!), but once you reach George Street going up away from the sea, you've reached the central shopping area, which comprises of the whole of George Street and the western part of Blatchington Road.
Just because Brighton is the more famous destination doesn't mean Hove is lacking for shops! along these two streets is a brilliant mix of clothes, supermarkets, charity shops, gift shops and home/DIY stores. You also get the bonus of it being that little bit quieter if you're looking for a gentler shopping experience (especially on a weekend).

James Nelia and Sarah are listed in Union Parish, Louisiana on the 1860 U. S. Census (page 134, post office - Spearsville, Union Parish, Louisiana, enumerated 30 July 1860). Their move to Union County, Arkansas would have occurred between 1 Aug 1860 and 31 Dec 1860.

Marital Status - g - Married, ug - not married
Family status - Deres Son, Deres Datter - Their son or daughter
I could not find any explanation of what the occupation, Hmd uden Jord Tømmermand , would be.
Anders birthyear is listed as 1821 instead of 1820.
Kari is Gudbrandsdatter instead of Gulbrandsdatter. Also Birthyear is different.
Mathea is not listed on the census, but she may have married since her birth is listed as 1844.
Peder is not listed on the census.
Anders would probably be Andrew (birthyear matches).
Goro's birthyear is listed as 1849 instead of 1850.
|Jakobsen, Anders (I02162)
|In the 1900 U S Census of Precinct No 5, Peter is listed as widowed living with Frank, James, Rosa, and George.

|Vines, Peter (I6231)

|In the biography of Washington Vines that was published in "Southern Arkansas Biographical and Historical Memoirs",Page 868, Goodspeed Publishing, 1890, ancestry.com, the biographer states that Washington and Tirza were married in October 1865. This date differs from the marriage date listed in "Arkansas, County Marriages Index, 1837-1957", ancestry.com. I do not know why the difference in the dates, but one possible explanation would be that the first one is a J.P. wedding while the later is a church wedding. This does help explain the three children (Jordan, Sarah, and Ida) born before the 1871 marriage.

Municipality number: 0726
Name of domicile: Lerangen, Jernværket Barkevig
Number of persons in this domicile: 16

Nikolai Hanssen Deres Søn ug 1859 Brunlanæs
Amalie Hansdatter Deres Datter ug 1863 Brunlanæs
!! Hansdatter* ug 1865 Brunlanæs .
(since the previous four names match what is available for Hans, thenthis would likely be Josephine Judith).
Marital Status - g - Married,
Family Status - hf - Head of Family
Family Status - kone - wife
Family status - Deres Son, Deres Datter - Their son or daughter
I could not find any explanation of what the occupation, Jernværksarbeider, would be.
The main discrepancy on this data is Kisten birth in 1842 while Kirsten (Christina) is listed born in 1831. Hans is listed as 1834, Nikolai as 1859, and Amalie as 1863. Hans is one year off and Nikolai's and Amalie's birthyear match.
|Nilssen, Hans Carinius (I02984)
|In the Ogden, Weber County, Utah Cemetery (http://ims.ogdencity.com/cemetery/default.asp?rflag=1), Kirstine is listed as, Christina Nelson,b. 2/2/1831 in Norway, d. 11/16/1911, father - Martina Johnson, mother - Anna halverson, died in Ogden, Ut, buried 11/18/1911.
I believe this to be Kirstine, but need to verify. If true, then names have been anglicized.
Other spellings, Kisten (norwegian census (see Hans Nilssen) and Christina Nelson (tombstone in Ogden City Cemetery, Ogden, Weber County, Utah.
|Mathiasdatter, Kirstine (I02605)
|In the Ogden, Weber County, Utah Cemetery (http://ims.ogdencity.com/cemetery/default.asp?rflag=1), Peder is listed as
Peter Anderson, b. 12/13/1852 (Norway), d 7/24/1932, father Andes Jacobson, mother Kary, died in Ogden, Utah. The birth year and death date match. This would appear to be Peder Andersen with an anglisized name.

Fortum Pitchalong Shuttle is a new EV-taxi where sustainable and innovative startups pitch their ideas directly to Fortum's executives. A moving electric vehicle is emission-free, private and silent meeting space. Fortum is looking for world-changing ideas that can help tackle climate change. The most successful startups have a chance to kick-start a beneficial partnership.
Fortum Pitchalong Shuttle service was introduced at Slush, the world's leading startup event, 4-5th December in Helsinki, Finland.
Looking for solutions for a cleaner world
The majority of Fortum's energy production is CO2-free. They develop solar energy solutions and also provide plastic recycling and waste management. Now the clean energy company is looking for startups to join the change for a cleaner world.
"We are looking for visionary ideas that can have a huge positive impact on the society and the environment. The concept of a cleaner world is a very large idea. No one company has all the resources, the assets, and the ideas to do that. Collaboration with innovative startups is essential for our work towards a cleaner world", states Arun Aggarwal, Fortum's Head of Business Technology. "We had many positive encounters at Slush and will now continue discussions with the most promising partner prospects", Aggarwal continues.
A great example of Fortum's successful partnership that started at Slush last year is the one with Plugsurfing, Europe's largest network for EV charging. Fortum acquired the company in March 2018. Plugsurfing provides access to over 81 000 charging points across Europe, including Fortum's own Charge & Drive network.
Investing in a better future at Slush
To boost the growth of potential startups, Fortum has become the major investor in Valo Ventures, an independent venture capital fund led by Scott Tierney, a former Google Capital co-founder. Valo Ventures focuses especially on finding solutions to problems related to megatrends such as urbanization, climate change and circular economy. The new fund was launched at Slush. Fortum also partnered with Slush in order to make the event as sustainable as possible.
"We aim for real and tangible progress towards a cleaner future through actions of all sizes. That is why we compensated the carbon footprint of the entire Slush event - a total of 10 000 tons of CO2", finishes Elina Kokko, the Communications Manager at Fortum.

Truth is stranger than fiction, unless that fiction is found on the World Wide Web. Recently a post secondary institution cancelled several H1N1 clinics because students refused their vaccinations. Although the clinics were free and information about the vaccine and the flu were readily available, some students on campus thought they knew the "real truth."
They had read online of the dangers of the vaccine and decided to sabotage the clinics by removing information posters and warning other students to avoid the shot because of its alleged lethal content and lack of testing.
Many of these same students are among some of the most socially conscious individuals you'll find. They advocate for reduced carbon emissions, attend rallies for social justice and campaign for responsible political representation. But despite the fact that scientists continue to challenge the manmade climate change doctrine, that ill-bent powerful entities persist in thwarting humanitarian advances in social justice and that political debate is alive and well within our country's democratic framework, they reject this information while embracing emails and online scare stories regarding H1N1 immunization. These students have discarded some research in favour of other sources, and at times have based their conclusions on sensational information passed on through blogs, emails and unreliable sources.
The information superhighway is now a propaganda autobahn, so fast and dangerous that you have to be either tremendously well read or simply crazy to stand in its way. Reliable and unreliable information are all mixed together, spewed out by search engines with no delineation between truth and fiction. It's not just students who swallow the instant porridge of unsubstantiated drivel on the Internet — people of all ages stand at the trough gobbling it up.
TV is no different. Dr. Bill Irwin, philosophy professor at King's College in Pennsylvania has investigated popular TV's effect on social opinion. His research has demonstrated that The Simpsons has put a negative spin on nuclear energy. For two decades, North American homes have watched the low-IQ Homer Simpson bumble his way through his job at the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant while his brilliant daughter Lisa is shown advocating for environmental issues. Is it any wonder we hear the crow's ominous caw every time the scene switches to the power plant? Is it surprising that people today have such a negative view of nuclear energy?
Last year, Jane Browning posted fascinating research on the Internet about a 19th century Virginian named Edward Owens, the last American pirate. It included a Wikipedia page, YouTube videos and a website. But it was fake. Even the researcher didn't exist. It was all fabricated by a history class at George Mason University as a history class assignment. Despite this, it was widely accepted as truth, linked by blogs and websites and quoted by multiple sources as true and amazing research.
It is easy to plant junk in the mind of the public. There is a widespread move to accept popular viewpoints despite facts that contradict them. Websites such as snopes.com or truthorfiction.com try to attack urban myths, but unfortunately the sheer volume of crap can't be wiped clean. Evidence should be weighed – all of it — and it should not be hidden or deleted or re-written to support views that have reasonable arguments for an alternative view.

Veterans From Texas State Veterans Home Experience the Thrill of Flight
On Tuesday, April 16th, 2019, the Ageless Aviation Dreams Foundation took three Air Force Veterans from the Frank M. Tejeda Texas State Veterans Home up in the air to experience the thrill of flight. All three Veterans flew out of San Antonio Stinson Municipal Airport in the cockpit of a Boeing-Stearman Model 75, the airplane used to train military aviators in the late thirties and forties.
Retired Senior Master Sergeant Ed Conrad, a 100-year-old Veteran, joined the Army Air Force at age 17 and served from 1935 to 1966. Completing tours during World War II, the Korean War and the Vietnam War. He was part of the 7th Bombardment Wing and is directly responsible for the regeneration of all B-52 aircraft returning from combat missions during the Vietnam War. Mr. Conrad served as a flight line supervisor and received Airman of the Year twice during his career in the Air Force.
Airman 2nd Class Bobbie Lyons served from 1956 to 1962 with the Air Force Air Police. He was stationed at McChord Air Force Base in Pierce County, Washington and Chennault Air Force Base in Lake Charles, Louisiana, where he would meet the planes upon arrival.
Major Frank Burroughs enlisted as a Corporal in the Air Corp on January 1, 1951, completed his basic training at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas. He served from 1951 to 1972 during the Korean and Vietnam Wars as a jet pilot flying wounded soldiers in cargo jets to Travis Air Force Base. In April 1953, Burroughs was transferred to Nellis Air Force Base in Clark County, Nevada where he met his wife, Ilene Hafner, at a church dance. He is extremely passionate about flying.
"It was so fulfilling to see them have this experience," said Nanci Struble, VLB On-Site Representative. "Off they went into the wild blue yonder!"
The Ageless Aviation Dreams Foundation is a non-profit organization established and dedicated to seniors and United States Military Veterans living in long-term care facilities who have always had the burning desire to soar like an eagle. For these "Golden" individuals, this organization provides the opportunity to experience the thrill of flight.
"Today, many of our former United States military pilots live in senior communities. We want to take them back to a place in time when they were invincible, ruling the skies as proud military aviators.
Ageless Aviation Dreams Foundation is dedicated to every senior, living and deceased, that helped build this great nation. Let their memory live on in every DREAM FLIGHT flown from this day forward." ~ Ageless Aviation Dreams Foundation
Many thanks to KENS5 for covering this story.

Conveniently located across Texas, each first-class facility is designed to enhance quality of life with a clean, caring and dignified setting appropriate to those men and women who have served our country with honor.

About Supreme Paint
My name is James and I run The Supreme Paint Company, I decided to start this business because there was no equivalent in existence. The aims are simple;
- Source the finest oil paints and mediums.
- Test and use these products before offering them to our customers
- Encourage discussion and educate people about paints and the craft of painting
- Maintain highly competitive prices
This is why we do things a little different to other art supplies companies out there, for example we do not list every single supplier out there creating an overwhelming list of products to choose from, there is no need. We believe our products to be the best, and although there are cheaper paints out there it is a false economy, they are cheaper because there isn't as much pigment in the tube and you will need to use more of it.
No other website describes each colour from the perspective of an artist who has professionally used the paint, before spending money on paint, it helps to have this insight and I personally would have loved this when I was learning about painting.
We want this website to become an environment for people to come to for information, insight and products, and if there is anything you would like to be able to buy, or queries you would like answered then please get in touch by using the 'any questions button' on the right hand side of your screen, thanks!

The goal of this pedestrian crossing is to improve security in the city, as drivers instinctively brake when they first see this 3D crossing.
The thermo-melting paint used in this crossing is 12x more durable than traditional painting, as it melts on the road with high temperatures, making it cheaper than traditional crossing paintings.
This 3D pedestrian crossing can be found in Ausiàs March street, one of the most concurred roads in town, very close to medical and cultural centres and municipal swimming pool.
Spanish company TECNOL installs this kind of 3D pedestrian crossing making the driver see 3 to 5 blocks on the road as if it was an elevated crossing. This causes the driver braking instinctively when seen in the distance.
"We are experimenting with this revolutionary technology to improve the road safety for both drivers and pedestrians and we keep working on the road accidents prevention"declared Mr. Toni Gonzalez, major of Almussafes.
The results of this project will be evaluated by the town hall in order to study installing it in the rest of the crossings in town.
The idea was first installed in countries such as Iceland, India or Germany, but it took a bit longer to be tried in Spain as this specific pedestrian crossing is both 3D and thermo-melting.

"Media creator with a passion for the outdoors."
I'm Alex, a storyteller and enabler at heart living in California and traveling the world to tell visual stories. My drive and long term goal with creative media is to find a way to change todays current views. I believe media is our strongest, most influencing means of communication and message – but it's not being used to its potential. The influence a visual story can have on society is powerful, and the potential is their to tell a more meaningful, positive story to make a more enjoyable life.
When I'm not creating videos or shooting photos, I'm usually outside. Backpacking, hiking, camping, snowboarding, mountain biking, playing hockey… I love being outdoors. When I realized I could combine my passion for the outdoors and action sports with video and photo, I set off on a new goal to surround myself with that opportunity. Those are the people I love to be around, the environment, and the kind of passionate people I want to work with.
