Master of Human Rights Postgraduate Coursework 2012
Asante Viswasam and Oxfam International Youth Partnership (OIYP) program
My main role during the internship was to create a resource for a Human Rights and Advocacy E-Workshop for OIYP as well as helping with general duties such as creating potential newsletters, design briefs and attending meetings regarding current OIYP issues. I was also given the opportunity to read the stories of, and communicate with, a number of amazing and inspirational young people from around the world who have worked to improve the social conditions of their communities.
After the internship placement I developed a research project addressing the question: 'How effective is the media in communicating a rights-based discourse of climate change?' My topic choice was drawn from my research into the use of the media as an advocacy instrument (through the development of the E-workshop booklet) and I tied it in with the theme of climate change.
Partaking in the internship program was definitely the right choice as it gave me confidence in my abilities, strengthened my knowledge in human rights, gave me the opportunity to experience working in a rights-based organisation, and it gave me the opportunity to explore a specific body of literature.
"We look for someone with loads of personality who can bring their bright ideas to the team. Asante worked on developing a toolkit for our Human Resources and Advocacy e-Workshop – 45 youth partners participated in this workshop and the workbook was translated into Spanish. It will be a great resource for OIYP to use in the future"
(Mary James, Internship Supervisor)
Phaedra Engel-Harrison and Psychosocial Recovery and Development East Timor (PRADET)
My internship project involved observing and documenting the work of local East Timorese NGO PRADET from a human rights perspective. The aim of the project was to produce written material that would be useful to PRADET in the promotion of their activities and the acquisition of future funding. I gained a working knowledge of local NGO activities, the importance of their work particularly in post-conflict zones such as East Timor, and the obstacles facing them.
After the internship placement I developed an investigative report on the implementation, protection and promotion of international human rights standards by local NGOs with the assistance of the international community and the state. The work of local NGO PRADET was used as a case study to illustrate how localised, autonomous activity can ensure human rights for the people, and also how other actors might better assist this process.
I would recommend participating in the internship program to acquire experience working in a human rights orientated organisation, in particular, to gain an understanding of the vital importance of such work, the challenges and obstacles faced, as well as the ongoing achievements of such organisations.
Renee Arian and the UNHCR Regional Office for Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea & the South Pacific
My role at the UNHCR was to research the concept of the 'Responsibility to Protect' – the notion that the international community has the responsibility to protect populations from atrocity crimes, through peaceful measures and ultimately as a last resort through forceful measures if a state is manifestly failing to do so itself – to learn about the activities of the UNHCR, and to keep up to date with daily international affairs that may have been of concern to the UNHCR.
After the internship I developed a research project entitled 'The Responsibility to Protect: Rhetoric or Reality?' The project focused on the implications of the failure to practically embrace the Responsibility to Protect in Darfur and Zimbabwe upon humanitarian agencies such as the UNHCR.
The internship has been a wonderful way to network and has provided valuable and rewarding career experience. Working within the environment of an international organisation such as the UNCHR and receiving exceptional guidance has given me much more confidence about applying for human rights positions after I graduate.
"UNHCR looks for interns who are able to make a contribution to the work of the United Nations while pursuing their own academic or vocational interests. The Regional Office particularly enjoyed hosting this student as a result of her quick intelligence and her commitment to her work as well as her idealistic but practical and disciplined approach to her subject"
(Ellen Hansen, Internship Supervisor)
Noa Sheer and UNIFEM Australia
My role at UNIFEM Australia was mainly to add to the organisation's human rights information bank by compiling online resources, factsheets and summaries on a variety of issues relating to women's rights. Aside from this I was requested to submit on behalf of UNIFEM Australia replies to the Australian government inquiries on the effectiveness of the Sex Discrimination Act (1984) and the draft periodic report to the Committee on the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC).
I later developed a research project entitled 'Are Indigenous Women Enjoying the Rights Conferred in CEDAW?' This paper argued that the implementation of one treaty is often intertwined with and dependent on the implementation of another. For example, the successful implementation of the Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) inherently relies on the adequate implementation of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination (CERD) and the equal treatment of Indigenous people in Australia.
I found the internship to be valuable in many ways. It was a fantastic opportunity to put human rights theory into practice and to test my own knowledge and research abilities. It also allowed me to gain insight into the work of a human rights organisation in Australia.
"Students who complete a human rights internship will have tangible experience which they can use when applying for jobs later in their careers. Noa wrote a significant submission to the Government review of the Sex Discrimination Act. This submission and the research undertaken to put it together contributed to UNIFEM's policy agenda and was sent to New York"
(July McKay, Internship Supervisor)
Claudia Guinness and Amnesty International Australia
I undertook my internship at Amnesty International Australia, working on the 'Human Rights Act for Australia' campaign. The aim of my internship was to write Amnesty International's draft submission to the Government on why Australia should have a Human Rights Act. The internship role also included on-line blogging, research, and cross team campaign development.
The academic project I developed from my internship came from Amnesty International's call for a Human Rights Act to be overarching, and include all people in Australia, not just Australian citizens; specifically, 'An Analysis of Australia's International Obligations to Refugees: Would a Human Rights Act help Achieve greater Human Rights Protection'. The research paper looked at Australia's responsibility to refugees domestically and internationally. It acknowledged the gaps in Australia's current human rights protection for Refugees, including a case study on Mandatory detention, and suggested that the introduction of an overarching Human Rights Act would actively re-affirm Australia's obligation to protecting Refugees.
Undertaking the internship program gave me on the ground experience that is not available in a classroom. Being part of an active human rights organization allowed me to combine theory and practice in an active human rights environment, and to develop a greater understanding of what is involved in working in the industry. The opportunity to work with Amnesty International Australia was an invaluable and inspiring experience that has set the foundations for my human rights career.
Sarah Farrelly and the UNHCR Regional Office for Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea and the South Pacific
During my month interning with UNHCR, I researched a challenging current area of refugee law; assessing whether Australian refugee laws are in fact meeting the state's international human rights law obligations. As well as carrying out this research, I got involved in the day-to-day activities of UNHCR, observing the diverse roles carried out by its small number of employees. I was very fortunate that my internship fell at a time when the Regional Office was preparing for a visit from the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, Antonio Guterres. Meeting and speaking with Mr Guterres was definitely a highlight of my intern experience.
Following my month interning with UNHCR, I developed a detailed research project entitled "Complementary Protection in Australia: Filling the gap in the protection of asylum seekers", focusing on Australia's proposal for new legislation in immigration law and assessing whether it would be sufficient to meet the State's international obligations. I then compared this with the system developed by the EU in a recent Directive.
The internship was a fantastic insight into the work done by a Regional Office of a large UN organisation. It has greatly encouraged me to apply for jobs in this area, after seeing the hard work carried out by these organisations which is both challenging and varied. While in Canberra I also applied and was accepted for a UNESCO Human Rights International Youth Training Programme at the University of Connecticut. It takes place in Connecticut each August for two weeks, and is a fantastic opportunity for youth, who are involved in the field of human rights in their community, to meet up with other like-minded youth from across the globe. During the ten days of the forum there are seminars and training courses from experienced human rights practitioners, who provide an invaluable insight into the skills and expertise needed to work in this area. We also attended the UN Headquarters in New York City for the day, which was of course very exciting! I would also highly recommend this fantastic programme to any youth interested in working in human rights.
"UNHCR's Regional Office in Canberra was delighted to host Sarah Farelly from the University of Sydney's Masters of Human Rights programme in February 2010. UNHCR likes to host students who can contribute to the substantive work of the organisation while meeting their own academic interests and needs. Sarah chose a particularly topical issue to research, Australia's codification of human rights obligations in a complementary protection regime, and her research contributed to the Office's consideration of that issue. Sarah not only contributed through her considerable research skills, but also through helping with the day-to-day work of the Office at a particularly busy time, in the lead up to the High Commissioner's visit to Australia and New Zealand. Sarah was at all times professional, mature and pleasant to work with, and became very much a part of 'the team'."
(Ellen Hansen, Internship Supervisor)
Octavia Davidson and AID/WATCH
My internship placement was at AID/WATCH. My project was to write a paper on land reform in PNG and Vanuatu, with a focus on how aid is being used for purposes that are counteractive to promoting human rights. While in my placement, and later through continued volunteer work with AID/WATCH, I assisted with other tasks including updating the website, additional research, and organising a fundraising/awareness event on the issue of land reform in Melanesia.
For my academic project I chose to look further into the topic of land reform in PNG, exploring how women specifically are affected in PNG. The title of my project was "The Effectiveness of Aid in Development in Relation to Women's Rights; A Case Study on Land Reform in Papua New Guinea." The report explored the relation between aid effectiveness and development and applied this to the case study to demonstrate how aid that does not fully incorporate the experiences of women can actually have negative impacts on the human rights of women, and therefore is detrimental to development on a whole.
The internship was a great way to obtain first-hand experience that can't be taught in a classroom and gain an understanding of how NGOs operate. The academic component was very intense in the level of support provided, assisting with research and writing skills that will benefit me in a professional setting.
[["AID/WATCH looks for people with a passion for social and environmental justice; activism; and a desire to put their research and analytical skills to use in a campaign and watchdog context. Octavia contributed to a great number of campaign and organisational areas going beyond her research project on land reform. Her commitment, organisational and research skills strengthened the formation of our Pacific land rights campaign and resulted in some great information resources and a successful public outreach event"
(Lara Daley, Internship Supervisor)]]
Paul Duffill and the Centre for Peace and Conflict Studies
My internship was on peace journalism and community-based internet media. My project was to expand the Wikipedia "stub" on peace journalism to full encyclopaedic coverage of the topic. I worked at the Centre for Peace and Conflict Studies, at the University of Sydney. My responsibilities included forming a foundation of understanding of the core concepts and practices of Peace Journalism and keeping up to date on recent developments in theory and especially application. This also included assimilating the wide range of theoretical insights and debates on peace journalism with a wide range of real world media projects. Most importantly, my role was also to present this information in a way that was engaging and accessible for general media audiences.
The title of my internship was 'A Pwiki Problem: How can a full-length Wikipedia article about Peace Journalism serve as a normative educational resource for a variety of sectors of general media audiences including academics, trainers, educators, journalists, other media professionals?' This involved an outline of peace journalism theory and practice and how this material might be presented to engage readers across general media audience groups. The project outlined the importance of general media audiences for peace journalism, and how a Wikipedia could function to engage with these audiences. Wikipedia article could function as an "information and organisation gateway", while also outlining the theory, practice and debates surrounding peace journalism that might be particularly relevant for general audiences.
I am really glad I took the plunge and got involved with this internship. It enabled me to deal with the practical concerns of the meeting between peace journalism, general media audiences, and the community based media which have become such an integral part of modern communication.
[["The main quality I look for in an intern at CPACS is to be a self-starter. Paul Duffill showed outstanding individual initiative to create an invaluable resource: a Wikipedia page on peace journalism. He was responsible, and mixed well with others in the CPACS community, which is equally important to me. The page Paul created is useful to academic researchers and a broad spectrum of practitioners alike. I am already directing people to it, who email enquiries to me as to where they can find out more about the subject. In this respect, the absence, previously, of such a page from Wikipedia was a significant lacuna, and Paul has done a very useful job in filling it."
(Jake Lynch, Internship Supervisor)]]
Dalila Gharbaoui and the UNHCR Regional Office for Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea & the South Pacific
Work assigned during my time at the UNHCR focussed mainly on the development of a research project on the Conditions for Sustainable Relocation as Adaptive Response to Climate Change in the Pacific Island Countries and Territories. To do so I first became familiar with recent UN literature on the topic and engaged UNHCR staff for guidance. I also attended related seminars that also helped me to understand the current discussions and global agenda related to regional environmental displacement issues.
My research project for the course was on "The implications of Land Rights in planning for Sustainable Relocation as an adaptive response to Climate Change in the Pacific Islands Countries and Territories". I tried to critically engage with Land Rights and Sustainable development issues in the context of climate change and attempted to understand to what extent are Land Rights key to forming a sustainable, adaptive response to Climate Change through population resettlement in the Pacific region.
This issue was examined during my Internship Research Project's creation. One key conclusion of this research was related to the importance of understanding Land Rights and Land Tenure in planning for Sustainable Relocation processes, and that the relocation process is likely to be unsuccessful if it lacks the important local specificities and the essential link between Islanders and their land. It was therefore particularly interesting to engage my time exclusively with Land Rights through this research project, which was particularly relevant to my course focus areas which required that we analyse and critique the experience gained during the internship placement.
The experience was fantastic; I was able to combine in a meaningful way theoretical, academic learning and at the same time practically engage with 'the field'. Learning through exposure to the field helped me to have a practical understanding and skills that have strongly reinforced my Academic pursuits and experience. I would advise this programme to anyone thinking of working in this field. It gave me the chance to learn and discover different aspects of working as a human rights practitioner in conjunction with the related specific body of literature. It helped me to contemplate, if not, direct, my future career choices and understand better what I would be interested in pursuing in the field. Finally it gave me more confidence by exposing my practical skills to an esteemed and active work environment to better understand what skills I might need to strengthen and focus on as a future human rights practitioner.
"In its collaboration with the University of Sydney's Master of Human Rights Program, UNHCR's Regional Office in Canberra seeks to give students an opportunity to apply human rights theory to very real displacement problems. Dalila Gharbaoui undertook research into sustainable relocation as an adaptive response to climate change in the Pacific. This research will feed into UNHCR's own policy development in response to climate change issues in this region and constitutes a valuable source of information."
(Ellen Hansen, Internship Supervisor)
Susy Lee and Youth Peace Intiative
I spent a semester working with Youth Peace Initiative (YPI), part of Sydney Peace Foundation, which engages young people in the process of building peace with justice in their schools and communities, empowering them to feel that their actions make a difference. My major role was to act as mentor to three school groups. Two groups sprang from Student Representative Councils and one from a legal studies class that had a strong human rights emphasis. The groups met at lunchtime and each identified issues they could meaningfully address.
My academic project was to develop a rationale for the YPI model of peace education, by showing how critical pedagogy addresses the main characteristics important for peace education with youth. My research was then included in the YPI operations manual.
The internship gave me a good understanding of peace education, including its practical constraints, and has inspired me with the possibilities available to support youth in their passion for peace and human rights. In the process, I also gained a useful understanding of the nature of academic research.
"The human rights masters internship program was an ideal fit for our organisation as it enabled us to substantially develop our high school outreach program by drawing on the expertise and energy of our intern, Susy Lee. Susy's ability to communicate the relevance of human rights to the lived experience of Australian youth was essential for her mentoring work with the students, while her critical analytical and research skills proved invaluable in the drafting of key policy and best practice and pedagogy guidelines for our organisation. An outstanding program and I look forward to working with our next placement."
(Trent Newman, Internship Supervisor)

See and share Beautiful Nature Photos and amazing photos of interesting places
These Home Beach poems are examples of Beach poems about Home. These are the best examples of Home Beach poems written by international PoetrySoup poets
I didn't want to go on vacation
I would rather stay home with my friends
When does being treated like a baby
In this family come to an end!?
We went to a stupid hot beach
I don't even know how to swim
I would rather be practicing basketball
Back home in the high school gym.
I sat moping on the beach all alone
As the sun was starting to set
We'd been here for all of three days
I wasn't having any fun yet.
Then I noticed her walking by herself
Silhouetted against the red sky
Just on the edge of the water
I was speechless as she passed by.
I watched her walk down to the pier
Where she turned and started coming back
I went down to the edge of the water
Making sure I would be in her path.
I was aware of this beautiful creature
Walking ever closer to me
Her blond hair gently dancing
Inspired by the ocean breeze.
She looked up and smiled as she passed
Slowing down for me to say, "Hi"
An opportunity I couldn't respond to
As I simply let her pass by.
All night I stayed awake dreaming
Of this angel I saw on the shore
Silently thinking and scheming
What I would do if I saw her once more.
Next day I was on the beach early
To give my destiny a shot
I sat there searching and burning
The sun was so very hot.
Just when I was about to give up
And mope on back to my bed
I heard a sweet voice saying,
"Boy are you turning red."
I'll spare you all of the detail
From my steamy summer of love
When on a golden ray of sunshine
My future wife was sent from above.
The Beach of Promises
Fingers entwined, barely touching,
turquoise waters teasing your dancing toes,
strolling along that serene deserted beach,
our promised dreams within aching reach.
Hands clasped, holding on,
sea-breezes tickling the nape of your neck,
walking together, alone, vowing to never breach,
the dreams dreamed on that faraway velvet beach.
Hands in my pockets, alone,
traces of you linger, teasing,
lost in my scribbles, your memory fading out of reach,
my thoughts ablaze, now and then,
catching a whiff of your fragrance,
wafting through alleyways of nostalgia,
your hand in mine on our pristine beach.
In a tropical place, the climate
becomes a way of being
Fruits and flowers on shirts and dresses,
breakfasts of bananas.
pineapple flavoured passions
of afternoon,
pathways to the moon on evening seas
coconut milk tipped waves at dawn
palms tilting horizons, gulls gliding
the edge of time
Yet- where I live does not define me
Not like the timeless, Irish dairymen who-
rain or shine- milk cows they
could easily set their clocks by
Here on this perfect stretch of sand-
I am rootless - envious
of those who have never moved
I feel puppetized by modern life
A little schitzoid - liking where I am,
hearing the voices, while
a part of me pines
for pastoral beginnings.
Suzanne Delaney
All around me
Great cities made of sand.
Green sky scrapers poke through the ground
To thrive in life's strict conditions
And melt away with the tide…
Great houses made of cards
Form lines, and tightrope walk existence,
Knowing that any moment, the wrong brick may fall
And buckle our world to its knees
As Mother Earth shouts Jenga! from the sidelines.
So while were here
We dance with the Glass Goddess
Poised miles above reality,
Leaping over the heavens on our domino stilts-
We floor it in the sky
Living death in the fast lane,
Seizing the day
Because any moment
We could disappear
Jacob Reinhardt
My Wishes are Simple
My wishes are simple,
my desires few,
to gaze upon an ocean,
and marvel at a solitary drop of dew.
My wishes are simple,
my dreams not too grand,
to feel the waves teasing my tired feet,
with no footprints left in the cool, wet sand.
My wishes are simple,
my thoughts serenely gentle, calm,
my heart resting beneath a swaying palm,
healing my being, caressed by nature's soothing balm.
I won't be home
not For Christmas
nor for funerals
not for birthdays
Wanted to never see you
on those days so hard to get through.
When you abandoned the sweetness
and chased your dream into the alley
When you thought it best to see me cry
When your mind changed with the direction of the wind
I stood there with spit on my finger tips...
holding my hand in the air,Waiting for the winds of hope
to blow your love and loyalty in my direction
Home is a strange city
where no one knows me.
where no one will invite me to sit across the table
and try to smile as I play with my stuffing on china with flowers
As I remember the children laughing and opening gifts.
I remember the long silent ride back to our house.
I think back when I got on my knees
before climbing into our cold bed
The prayers just uttered coming back void.
Ask God to just let you touch me again
I needed your body-heat to keep warm.
I needed your support to continue on
for the sake of the commitment.
For the sake of waiting for love to remind you
Even if pity could hold you there..
I would not be ashamed of what you sacrificed
When love had given birth to pity-
I would have held on without pride.
Now I never want to come back to that town.
Where no one cares that you don't love me.
I am in remission.
Alone but it's OK.
Please tell our future to visit me.
On the seashores.
The sun warms me in
my new home
where no one knows me.
All my old friends are
dead and dying.So...
I won't be home
not For Christmas
nor for funerals
not for birthdays
Wanted to never see you
on those days so hard to get through.
Just my spirit and the ocean.
and one day tell our grandchildren
Grandma will be here walking;
With one finger in the air moistened with spit.
to see which way the wind blows.
for bruce springsteen...
it was a rain-swept monsoon day
way back then, so many moons away
when i felt the music strumming in my veins
setting me free like a runaway horse without any reins
you sang of simple truths,
your verse spoke to people just like me
in my lonely, wasted, and desolately quiet night
as you screamed out tragic human wrongs, and of everyone's plight
'bobby jean' spoke to me
of that girl down the street
glimpses of whom, we as innocents would furtively meet
and 'the river' that flowed through my ever-barren heart
led me down further roads of thunder
when slowly i finally learnt that the hardest part was fighting on
and never to surrender
to the hard-luck dreams that were born to run
while i danced in the dark
with memories vivid and stark
even as i whined like that dog who for forever lost his howling bark
and then a 'human touch' came along
and 'better days' seemed real, not just words in a song
and still you sang and swayed and spoke straight into my unseeing eyes
as gardens of secrets were opened, and as your fist punched the skies
in an anger that i too felt and in whose cauldron i too burned
as we saw murder get incorporated, while on its wobbly axis, our fragile world apathetically turned
and then suddenly i was told that i was all grown up
working on a highway of scattered ideals
and absolving myself by sprinkling some coins in a waiting cup
well, after all these years of walking along so many a thorny road
with an armour of your verse covering me, even as i hear them taunt me and even as they continue to goad
but now i can feel myself fading away, into the bleakness of this coming night
just like the ghost of that old tom joad...
spinning round and round till i fly up
and hit ground
turning into sea
pleasing me
i grab the bass fish gliding past
i dive into the eyes of the brown green scales
head first never fails
in the soul of the beast i sit
my locks float around the fish shell
his hearts beat started to move me
onto my feet
bend my knees
shake my hips
rattle my brain
clap my hands
the soul of the fish is where i spend the rest of my plans
Oh! My home, my sweet home
When shall see my home?
Away from home in a far place, i remember my sweet home where there is no hunger. Wake up in the morning and in a jiffy food would be stirring at you.
My sweet home situated in the outskirts of the ever business booming big city of boomerang very close to the Niagara Falls which is called the city of angels. Oh my sweet home. I will never forget my home, where toads and frogs used to combine to form a mass choir in the middle of the night and giving us a horrible selection of tunes especially when the rain has just subsided.
Oh how I miss my sweet home
Fall sick and you are immediately healed by the pampering you get
Nothing can compare to my home
sweet home
When shall I see my home?
The Sieve of Time
Cast ashore,
along the banks of time,
whirling through the passing years,
clinging to my futile scribbles set in rhyme,
Cast ashore,
thrust into an unrehearsed pantomime,
clenching slivers of joy as weariness descends,
lulled into a peaceful slumber exhilaratingly sublime.
Cast ashore,
hazily adrift, a dandelion seed on the wings of time,
trapped in the sieve of spiralling memories,
caught between pristine bliss, and reeking slime.
Cast ashore,
flung aside for no discernible crime,
my human heart thuds with elusive hope,
though battered, bruised, and covered in grime,
I stagger ashore,
embracing each moment of detached, oblivious time.

|Project Name - Environmental Health of Peconic River Headwaters: Water and Sediment Chemistry
|Description - The purpose of this research was to collect scientific environmental health data on water and sediments from remediated and natural sites of the Peconic River (PR) headwaters at the Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) and to compare results with available earlier findings. The specific objectives were to: (a) analyze samples for physico-chemical factors; (b) compile and analyze data statistically; and (c) to identify the interrelationships between abiotic factors. We hypothesized that waters of the PR would be acidic with excessive turbidity, nutrient poor, low dissolved oxygen (DO) levels, and free of contaminants. We have collected 54 surface samples (<15cm deep at 150m intervals) randomly from 7 experimental sites (LH1-7). Experimental sites were plotted using eXplorist 200 Global Positioning System (GPS) and ArcInfo Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Field data were obtained on DO, temperature, pH, turbidity, and conductivity using Yellow Spring Instruments, Inc. (YSI) probe. Water samples were analyzed using Hach DR890 colorimeter. Filtered and acidified water samples (pH<2) were used to estimate metal content using Inductively Coupled Plasma Spectrometer (ICP). Sediment samples were air dried, sieved, and saved in Ziploc bags. Macro and micronutrients were measured using LaMotte Soil Test Kits. Sediments were acidic (6.00±0.00 to 6.25±0.94 at LH3 and LH5, respectively) and nutrient poor. Water was acidic (4.61±0.10 to 5.87±0.04 at LH2 and LH5, respectively) and low in DO (1.49±0.17 to 5.67±0.70mg/L at LH3 and LH1, respectively). Samples had traces to zero chlorides, nitrates, and sulfates. Alkalinity ranged from 10.5±5.65 to 83.13±3.26mg/L. Sediment ANOVA results showed significant mean differences (P<0.05 and P<0.01) between elements, aluminum (Al), iron (Fe), lead (Pb), and chromium (Cr). In conclusion, experimental results were in partial agreement with our hypothesis (nutrient poor sediments and water; and low DO and high turbidity in water). However, we reject the null hypothesis, since the mean differences between groups were significant. Also, water and sediments of the PR natural sites have greater metal content (Al, Fe, Pb) than in the remediated sites. In some instances, however, current elemental contents of Al, Cd, Fe, Pb, Mg, and K in sediments of remediated sites exceeded the earlier findings.

|Project Name - Comparative Ecological Study: Pine Barren Ponds of Long Island, NY
|Description - The purpose of this research was to collect scientific ecological data on water and sediments from the Long Island Pine Barren Ponds including the ponds on Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) site and to compare results between the on-site (Zone-I) and off-site (Zone-II) ponds. The specific objectives were to: (a) analyze samples for physico-chemical factors; (b) compile and analyze data statistically; and (c) to identify the interrelationships between abiotic factors in ponds of two zones. We have collected 99 surface water and sediment samples (<15cm deep at 50 - 200m intervals, depending on size of each pond) randomly from 5 experimental sites (Groups 1-5). Experimental sites were plotted using eXplorist 200 Global Positioning System (GPS) and ArcInfo Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Field data were obtained on dissolved oxygen (DO), temperature, pH, turbidity, and conductivity using Yellow Spring Instruments, Inc. (YSI) probe. Water samples were analyzed using Hach DR890 colorimeter. Filtered and acidified water samples (pH<2) were used to estimate metal content using Directly Coupled Plasma Spectrometer (DCP). Sediment samples were air dried, sieved, and saved for elemental analysis using DCP. Macro and micronutrients were analyzed using LaMotte Soil Test Kits. Samples were also dried in an oven at 650C for 36-48 hr to obtain moisture. Majority of the water and sediments were acidic and nutrient poor. Soil texture is mostly either sand or silt. Moisture content varied between 20.98±10.35 to 50.02±6.13% in NRP and BNL samples, respectively. Sediment ANOVA results indicated positive and negative significances (P<0.05 and P<0.01) between elements, aluminum (Al), iron (Fe), lead (Pb), and chromium (Cr). In conclusion, the Long Island Pine Barren pond water and sediments are acidic and nutrient poor. Sediments have higher concentrations of metals (Al and Fe), in general.

Year 3 - Dates: 6/5/08 through 8/15/08
|Mentor - Dr. Timothy Green and Dr. Vishal Shah
|Departments - Environmental Sciences
|Project Name - Microbial Community Profiling of Long Island Pine Barren Soils
|Description - Management of any ecosystem requires the information on the flora and fauna present in the environment. The current management plans for terrestrial ecosystem are mainly based on the macrofauna. While microorganisms are very critical for maintaining the balance in an ecosystem, no information is available on the types and behavior of microorganisms in the soil of Pine Barren Forest. Thus the existing management plan for an ecosystem does not consider the influence of the actions on the microbial diversity. In the first study of its kind, we mapped the Long Island Pine Barren Forest Soils (LIPBF) based on its microbial community level physiological profile (CLPP). Soil samples were collected from different parts of the forest and upon preparation of the inoculum, BIOLOG® EcoPlates were inoculated. The clustering analysis based on color intensities illustrate that the entire LIBPF can be divided into four different clusters at every horizon. However, the physiological response of microbial community at each horizon and cluster is different. No correlation between sampling sites and the physiological profile was obtained based on vegetation or geographical location. Also, comparing the physiological profile of the microbial community from each horizon, one can make a list of substrates that are utilized more throughout the LIPBF.

One man is dead after officials say he fell off of a truck bed.
By Len Kiese - bio | emailNovember 3, 2008
DOUGHERTY COUNTY, GA (WALB) - A Radium Springs couple is fed up with crime. For the second time in less than two years, thieves ransacked their home.
Monday afternoon, Angela Fuller came home to a kicked-in back door. Inside the Hollis Drive home, thieves threw belongings everywhere looking for items to steal.
They took everything from guns and jewelry to a cable box. They even cleaned out the couple's closet, stealing most of David Fuller's clothing. He used one word to describe the feeling of being violated.
"Rage," said Fuller, "I mean this is the second time. I feel like I'm working for the bad guys. I keep replacing the stuff and they keep stealing it."
Some things can't be replaced. The burglars stole two guns that belonged to Fuller's father and grandfather. The Fullers say they'll now invest in an alarm system.

Get more and more in tune with my presence, not with my person, because I am not a person at all. I only appear as a person; otherwise I am just an absence. As far as the person is concerned I am utterly absent, but in that absence there is a light, there is a presence. That presence has nothing to do with me. That presence has no center to it, that presence has no self in it. That presence is as much yours as mine. That presence is divine. If you are silent your heart will start pulsating with it, your heart will start singing with it, your heart will have a dance with it. Your heart will start moving, soaring upwards.
Every man, every woman, is born with a bird in the heart. The heart has wings, but the heart can open its wings only in the sky of silence. Words are weighty, words gravitate towards the earth. Forget all about words and let the celebration be.
The second question:
Osho,What is learning?
Learning, in the first place, is not knowledge. Let us start from negating, from eliminating; let us first say what learning is not.
Learning is not knowledge. Learning has become too much identified with knowledge. It is just the opposite of knowledge. The more knowledgeable a person is, the less he is capable of learning. Hence children are more capable of learning than grown-ups. And if the grown-ups also want to remain learners, they have to go on forgetting whatsoever they have learned. Whatsoever has become knowledge in them, they have to go on dying to it. If you collect your knowledge your inner space becomes too heavy with the past. You accumulate too much garbage.
Learning happens only when there is spaciousness. The child has that spaciousness, innocence. The beauty of the child is that he functions from the state of not-knowing, and that is the fundamental secret of learning: functioning from the state of not-knowing.
Watch, see, observe, but never form a conclusion. If you have already arrived at a conclusion, learning stops. If you already know, what is there to learn? Never function from the ready-made answer that you have arrived at from the scriptures, universities, teachers, parents, or maybe your own experience.
All that you have known has to be discarded in favor of learning. Then you will go on growing, then there is no end to growth. Then a person goes on remaining childlike, innocent, full of wonder and awe to the very end. Even when he is dying he continues learning. He learns life, he learns death. And the person who has learned life and learned death goes beyond both; he moves to the transcendental.
Learning is receptivity, learning is vulnerability. Learning is openness, open endedness.
Learning can be divided into many categories. I would like to divide it into eight levels, eight planes.

Elite Squad
Rio de Janeiro, 1997. Captain Nascimento (Moura) wants to retire from Brazil's BOPE squad before becoming a dad, but first he must find his replacement. Two rookie cops (Junqueira and Ramiro) are candidates, but are they tough enough?
Brazil's BOPE squad is a bit like America's SWAT team. But, instead of Colin Farrell and L.L. Cool J grappling with Olivier Martinez, this is a frantic depiction of police brutality in the slums of Rio de Janeiro. Gunfire rings out across the favelas and bodies litter the streets, setting the scene for an intense hellride through a world of violent drug lords, disenchanted dirty cops and idealistic upstarts.
Roberto Nascimento is captain of BOPE, the unit charged with tackling drug-related crime in the favelas. He thinks nothing of interrogation techniques that end in grisly death, involving, say, a plastic bag over the head. But his methods get results so, when he plans to step down (at the behest of his pregnant wife), his superiors won't let him go without training a replacement. Enter hot-headed Neto (Caio Junqueira) and do-gooder Matias (André Ramiro), keen to be in BOPE but naive about the job's realities. Matias is at law school, dithering between being a cop or a lawyer, so he sees first-hand the chasm between the spliff-toting college kids and the drug lords who provide their wares.
The violence is horrific - a man being squeezed into a tyre stack and set alight is an image you're unlikely to forget - but not gratuitous. And the soundtrack helps create the chaotic favela atmosphere rather than glamorising the brutality. Sadly, Nascimento provides an irritating and unnecessary voiceover throughout, narrating events that the audience can already see and are quite capable of judging for themselves.
This is where director José Padilha's inexperience shows. He's best known for documentaries like 2002's Bus 174, and this is his first stab at drama. In fact, the film started out as a documentary, until Padilha realised he would risk his life making it. Instead, he co-wrote the script with Rodrigo Pimentel, a former BOPE officer, and Bráulio Mantovani, who earned an Oscar nomination for City Of God in 2004.
Exhaustively researched, Elite Squad picked up the Golden Bear at Berlin earlier this year. Presumably the judges found it refreshing to see a cop film that isn't black and white, in which nobody is the good guy - and it is. But it would have been better without the intrusive voiceover.
Despite the voiceover, Padilha has created a shocking insight into a world in which corrupt cops slug it out against drug dealers but, ultimately, nobody wins.

Women are advised to take prenatal vitamins before and during pregnancy. Prenatal vitamins are specially formulated multivitamins that supplement a diet and often make up for any nutritional deficiencies in the mother's diet.
The most important ingredient in prenatal vitamins is folid acid, a B vitamin. Folic acid can reduce your risk of having a baby with a serious birth defect of the brain and spinal cord, called the "neural tube."
In order to be effective, folic acid must be taken at least 1-2 months prior to conception. Because about half of all pregnancies are unplanned, the U.S. Public Health Service recommends that all women of childbearing age get 400-600 micrograms of folic acid each day. In fact, the FDA now requires that all flour products -- such as breads, buns, and bagels -- be fortified with extra folic acid. A woman who has had a prior child with a neural tube defect should discuss the appropriate dose of folic acid with her doctor before her next pregnancy. Studies have shown that taking a larger dose (up to 4,000 micrograms) at least one month before and during the first trimester may be beneficial.
While a daily vitamin supplement is no substitute for a healthy diet, most women need supplements to make sure they get adequate levels of these minerals. Not all prenatal vitamins are the same. You should take a prenatal vitamin that has about 100% of the recommended daily allowance (RDA).

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt
My name is Tiggy!
Facts about Tiggy
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Cream Or Ivory (Mostly)
- Age: Kitten
- Sex: Male
- ID#: Deb
- Hair: Short
Tiggy's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, good with kids, not good with dogs, and good with cats.
I'm Tiggy! I am about 17 weeks old as of October 2012. I like to be pet and like attention. I need to get to know you first so please be patient with me. I am very playful and like to be held. I get along well with other cats and would be good with children over 9 years old. I think a dog may scare me. Once I know you I will probably become a lap cat and will be affectionate. Please adopt me!
Other Pets at Cat Tales, Inc
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Tiggy, a Middletown Domestic Shorthair kitten was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Middletown, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair kitten from a breeder in Middletown.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Middletown already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Middletown breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Middletown paves the way for another one to be saved.

Google Glass Porn Banned, Forcing Everyone To Look At Dirty Pics With Their Regular Eyes
- Sci/Tech
It was just this Monday that the first app for Google Glass porn was announced... and it's already died on the vine. The app was released by MiKandi, a purveyor of adult apps for Android, and would allow users to look at photos and watch videos filmed by Google Glass. In other words, it would allow for one-on-one video sharing between Google Glass users (read: homemade porn).
And then Google rained on everyone's parade and banned it explicitly, saying:
"Our policies make it clear that Glass does not allow Glassware content that contains nudity, graphic sex acts, or sexually explicit material. Any Glassware that violates this policy will be blocked from appearing on Glass."
Does this mean that Google Glass will be the one place online where there's not a bit of pornography... or that amateur pornographers will just think of something else? Only time will tell.

What you always wanted to know about censoring but never dared to ask
AbstractThis article considers a wide class of censoring problems and presents a construction rule for an objective function. This objective function generalises the orginary likelihood as well as particular "likelihoods" used for estimation in several censoring models. Under regularity conditions the maximiser of this generalised likelihood has all the properties of a maximum likelihood estimator: it is consistent and the respective root-n estimator is asymptotically efficient and normally distributed.

It's Tax Day and millions of Americans are rushing to get their federal income taxes paid before the midnight deadline. Uncle Sam's haul this year is going to be enormous, estimated at $1.4 trillion from individual taxpayers alone. What does all that buy you? Well, an estimated $427 billion will be needed just to pay interest on existing federal debts. We're offering some tax and spending facts today as you race the clock.
[A report from the Tax Analysis Center to be released today will show reducing the corporate tax rate from 29 percent to 9 percent would increase U.S. wages by more than 10 percent . – Watch Fox: Chief National Correspondent Jim Angle considers the effort to rewrite the corporate tax code.]
Tax Day is now also ObamaCare Day - For many Americans, today marks their first contact with ObamaCare as new taxes to finance the program's insurance subsidies kick in. New income taxes on top earners, an increase in federal payroll taxes and new taxes on investment income will help pump an estimated $20.5 billion into the program. National Journal explains the unwelcome surprises for taxpayers: "Most people won't notice the extra Medicare tax because it was automatically deducted from their paychecks, but some could face a tax bill they did not expect, said Jackie Perlman, principal tax research analyst at the H&R Block Tax Institute. The Affordable Care Act also raises the bar for writing off medical expenses." Watch Fox: Correspondent Doug McKelway analyzes the coming impact of ObamaCare on federal taxes.

Yahoo Launching "Blocked Domains" Feature For Advertisers
Barry Schwartz on October 1, 2007 at 12:52 pm
As expected, Yahoo has just informed me that they will be launching a new advertiser feature named "Blocked Domains" this month. Blocked Domains will allow Yahoo advertisers to block their ads from showing on up to 250 domains within the Yahoo Publisher Network and distribution network.
Advertisers can control the domains and pages they do not want their ads to show up on.
They are expecting to roll out this feature mid-October.
More details will be posted at the Yahoo Search Marketing Blog shortly.

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) - The Phillies have officially activated LHP Cole Hamels from the 15-day disabled list. The move comes as no surprise, seeing as how Hamels had been scheduled to pitch tonight's series opener in Cincinnati for days.
Hamels hasn't pitched since August 12th, when he struggled in a loss to the Nationals. He was later diagnosed with shoulder inflammation (placed on the DL August 23rd, retroactive to August 13th — see related story).
Overall, for the 2011 season so far, Hamels is 13-7 with a 2.62 ERA.
To make room for him on the active roster, utilityman Pete Orr has been optioned to AAA Lehigh Valley.

LAKE PLACID, N.Y. (AP) -- The locomotive of the Adirondack Scenic Railroad that operates between Lake Placid and Saranac Lake has been damaged.
David Link, director of volunteers at the railroad, told the Adirondack Daily Enterprise several wires inside the train's electrical cabinet were pulled out, cut and placed back into the cabinet sometime last week.
The railroad crew discovered something was wrong when the train failed to pass a routine safety inspection before going into service last Wednesday, but it took a few days to discover the source of the problem. No damage was detectable from outside the train.
Link said repairs could cost up to $50,000, not including lost revenue, and calls the damage deliberate, the newspaper reported.
Federal Railway Administration officials are expected to conduct their own investigation.

MobiLab stops labeling errors at bedside
Think about the last time you rented a car. An employee with a hand-held device probably checked you out and back in again, even printing a receipt. A similar technology is at work with MobiLab, a wireless specimen collection system that's been used at Hallmark Health System (HHS) since 2012.
MobiLab uses bar code scanning and bedside label printing to ensure correct patient identification and accurate labeling of blood, urine and other samples. More than 150 staff at HHS – primarily phlebotomists, nurses, clinical associates and nursing assistants – have been trained to use MobiLab on the inpatient floors and in the Emergency Departments and Urgent Care Centers. The devices – both hand-held and laptop versions – are used to collect specimens from more than 100,000 patients annually.
How does MobiLab help protect patient safety? "When MobiLab is in use, we have no labeling errors," said System Director of Laboratory Services Michael Biskup. "The phlebotomist or nurse takes the device to the bedside and scans the patient's wristband ID. Orders pop up for what specimens need to be collected and labels for the collection vessels print out. There is no question of mislabeling."
The system has a number of checks and balances, including the need to re-scan the patient's wristband ID after the specimens have been collected. MobiLab also interfaces with HHS's Meditech hospital information system so the labs can upload and download information as needed. "Besides improving positive patient identification, MobiLab gives us accurate data compared to our previous manual process," said Biskup. "This has helped us with workflow and productivity."

Seems like we getting money for the wrong things
Look around, Maseratis for the whole team
from Rick Ross (Ft. Kanye West) – Live Fast, Die Young Lyrics on Genius
Here Rick Ross gets a bit conscious and introspective, he juxtaposes how he and his Maybach family are enjoying the luxuries of life(such as buying expensive Maserati's) while the children in Haiti are suffering and starving. He believes the money that he spends on such expensive material things could be put to better use, he further goes into detail in the next lines.
