Using unique fingerprinting to study rats' movements has won an Auckland University researcher a $200,000 Prime Minister's science award.
Dr James Russell is one of three Aucklanders to win prestigious Prime Minister's MacDiarmid science prizes announced this morning.
Russell used unique DNA fingerprinting to determine how far rats can swim or hitchhike to pest-free islands.
His work is internationally sought after and inspired a children's book by Witi Ihimaera titled The Amazing Adventures of Razza the Rat.
Rats have invaded 80 per cent of the world's islands and contribute to the deaths of many of New Zealand's native birds.
Their knack at learning to avoid poison and traps makes them a tricky pest to kill, Russell said.
"During the three or four years of my doctorate, we were able to use the knowledge I generated to keep islands consistently rat free."
St Cuthbert's College student Hannah Ng, 17, won the $50,000 future scientist prize.
Her four-year project on childhood myopia, or shortsightedness, looked at how the eyesight of chicks was affected when wearing goggles which blurred peripheral vision.
The project found it made them more shortsighted, something she said optometrists didn't always take into account when prescribing glasses.
"I've learned the joys of being persistent, innovative and open to new ideas," Ng said.
She worked alongside researchers at Auckland University's Myopia Laboratory after receiving a Liggins Institute mentorship programme and scholarship.
Class projects involving solar balloons, water rockets, vortex cannons and parachute launching systems scored Papatoetoe High School head of chemistry Peter Stewart the science teacher prize of $150,000.
He produced workbooks, video tutorials and assignments that lifted student achievement in chemistry to outperform other subjects.
He also devised a Maori and Pacifika mentoring programme which encouraged students to work with each other and lift their grades.

Bank Nizwa to provide Islamic banking services in Oman; Central Bank to consider applications for Islamic windows
May 16, 2011 9:43 by Reuters
Oman's central bank granted approval to set up a new bank providing Islamic services as the sultanate opens its doors to the fast-growing industry, the central bank said in a statement to the state-owned news agency.
The central bank said it has given approval to establish Bank Nizwa to provide Islamic banking services inside Oman, adding that "it will consider any application to open windows for the Islamic banking by any bank operating in the sultanate wishing to provide such services."
Oman is the only Gulf Arab state which until now has not set up a bank specifically offering products and services complying with Islamic law. Its central bank head said in 2007 that Oman believed that "banks should be universal".
But the central bank reversed its stance earlier in May saying it would allow for a wholly-Islamic financial institution, as well as Islamic branches of conventional banks. Existing banks in the Gulf state, however, will not be allowed to switch to become Islamic banks, a central bank official told Reuters. Oman, a non-OPEC oil exporter with dwindling oil reserves, has been hit by nearly two months of demonstrations inspired by a wave of protests that has spread across the Arab world.
Islamic finance is estimated to be a nearly $1 trillion industry worldwide. (Reporting by Shaheen Pasha; Editing by Dinesh Nair)

Guidelines for failure impact assessment of water dams (PDF, 389.5KB) have been developed to help owners comply with dam safety conditions and legislation. The assessment identifies:
A dam with a Category 1 or Category 2 failure impact rating is classed as 'referable' under the provisions of the Water Supply (Safety and Reliability) Act 2008 and the Water Act 2000.
If a dam is assessed as not having a population at risk, it is not subject to the referable dam provisions.
Category 1 dams, and non-referable dams that exceed the size criteria (requiring them to be failure impact assessed) must be re-assessed at intervals of no less than five years.
A dam meets the size criteria if it's either:
A failure impact assessment will also need to be carried out if the owner of a non-referable dam either:
For further information please email firstname.lastname@example.com.
A provisional guideline (PDF, 1.3MB) is available to help dam owners prepare their Emergency Action Plans. This guideline will also assist local and district disaster management groups to understand their role in the preparation of the plans.
Following the public consultation period which ended 1 October 2013, we plan to publish a final guideline in mid-2014 which incorporates relevant feedback.
If you have feedback on our Provisional Guidelines, please email the dam safety team at the email address below. If you have comments on dam owners EAPs, please initially contact the dam owners. Should you require further information please contact us:
Queensland Water Supply Regulator
PO Box 15456
City East QLD 4002
Email: email@example.com
Under the Sustainable Planning Act 2009 a development permit is required for all new dams that require a failure impact assessment due to the proposed size and all modifications to existing referable dams which increase storage capacity by more than 10 per cent.
Development permit applications must be made using the forms required by the Integrated Development Assessment System (IDAS) process of the Sustainable Planning Act 2009.

Walking with the Wind: A Memoir of the Movement (Paperback)
Congressman John Lewis takes readers inside the civil rights movement in Walking with the Wind and shares rare insight into the personalities at its heart.
As Chairman of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), Congressman John Lewis was at the epicenter of the civil rights movement in the late '50s and '60s. Arrested more than forty times, he was one of its youngest and most courageous leaders. Writing with charm, warmth, and honesty, Lewis moves from the Nashville lunch counter sit-ins as he reflects on the era to the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama, where he led more than five hundred marchers on what became known as "Bloody Sunday." Though there have been exceptional books on the movement, Lewis's profound personal story is "destined to become a classic in civil rights literature" (Los Angeles Times).
About the Author
Lewis has been the Representative for the 5th U.S. Congressional District of Georgia since 1986.
Michael D'Orso is the author of sixteen books, which include Oceana", Plundering Paradise", and The Cost of Courage". His work has been featured or reviewed in The New Yorker", Time", Newsweek", Sports Illustrated", and other publications.
Praise For…
"Publication of Walking with the Wind is a literary event, for sure. This is the definitive account of the civil rights movement. . . . It is impossible to read this inspirational and hideous story of courage and cruelty without being moved. -the Washington Post "John Lewis evokes, with simplicity and passion, how the 1960s transformed the United States. . . . Powerful."-the New York Times Book Review
"For those too young to remember and those too old to forget, for everyone of race, we owe a debt of gratitude to this American hero, and the nameless, frightened (but ultimately fearless) multitudes that walked with him down those rugged roads of history." -Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

7 things every self-respecting Latina should own*
* if she is over 50, a speculative fiction writer, the bilingual editor of AL DÍA News, and if Supercompressor's original post shows up on her twitter timeline on a lazy Saturday morning.
I am a sucker for beautifully styled photos with tyrannical (and status-y) lists of items and their rationales appended. Like this one:
Yeah, I'm not even the intended audience and I clicked on it and read the damn thing. It's like the writer's (or the online magazine's) id in a flash.
And I decided (since it was a lazy Saturday morning, like I already mentioned) to replicate it ... sort of. Kind of. Mostly. So here goes — my instant gratification photo components, in imitation of Supercompressor's.
The change-it up accessory
Supercompressor's bow-tie (upper right) has nothing on the scarf I picked for my photo. Now, I could tell you this is on my indispensable list because pink is a good color for aging skin (that's what the fashion mavens say, and who am I to dispute their wisdom?), or because it distracts from my turkey wattle neck (don't tell me if it doesn't) ... but really it is because I wear a lot of black clothing and this adds a shock of color and also doubles as a shawl in hyper air-conditioned office buildings in the summer. Here I am wearing the scarf when the totally awesome Las Cafeteras came to visit AL DÍA News Media and gave us an impromtu performance.
The kicks
Loafers? Not a chance. But you can never have too many boots, preferably cowboy boots. They're comfortable; they readily dress up or dress down; come in versions from flashy to basic, and they wear like iron.
I don't wear any other footwear. Really.
Really, really.
I am not alone in my appreciation of the western boot. Latina writers Ezzy Languzzi and Lorraine C. Ladish rock them too. Consignment shops and places like Buffalo Exchange make it possible to buy a whole wardrobe of them without having to offer your first-born in trade.
The sauce
In Supercompressor's world every well-appointed desk has an unopened bottle of scotch in the drawer, for "spontaneous celebration, or rapid consolation." In my world every well-appointed desk has a bottle of hot sauce for celebration and consolation too.
The multi-purpose tool
If you actually go to the Supercompressor piece you'll see that the headline obscures a pocket knife. It is much cooler looking than my little Swiss Army knife — but I bet it doesn't have the hidden tweezers you scramble for when you spot one of those after-you-turn-50-crazy-hairs waving at you.
The jewelry
They go old-school proposing a mechanical watch. I go old-school proposing some really big earrings. I get old-school bonus points for singling out the pair that references pre-Colombian huacas. Double old-school bonus points because my mother wore them before me.
The books
Even where the two posts coincide, they don't really. Supercompressor suggests that not having books in your home is kind of creepy, I say it is inconceivable. Supercompressor recommends a moleskine for those thoughts not worthy of blogging, I say get yourself over to Katie's Paperie if you like beautifully bound blank books, but no matter what the surface looks like, write whatever the hell you want on it ... maybe particularly your next blog post or your first novel.
Ink — my novel of immigration-based, near-future dystopia — was written variously in spiral bound notebooks, on a desktop computer, on a laptop, in bound blank books and on scraps of paper.
The important thing is to write.
And to read.
I'm starting on Americanah next — a story about an African immigrant couple who unwillingly split, one living in the U.S., the other in London — but there are hundreds of equally intriguing choices. Here's a summer reading list I wrote showcasing Latino writers, and another focused on Young Adult offerings. Almost every media organization worth its salt has published a summer reading list, and honestly, there is something for every taste out there. Just get reading already.
The essential
In their photo: a hammer. In mine: a small-batch original perfume from Mountain Spring Herbals, crafted from a proprietary blend of scents in a jojoba oil and beeswax solid. Because really, who doesn't love a scent you can't spill? ;)
The plant
I can't tell what the tidy little plant in the professional photo is, but mine is one of multiple aloes I own. The plant's mucilage is great for burns, but mostly I love my aloes because they're generous and unruly and grow like crazy, even in my kitchen window during bleak northeastern winters.

Okay, now show me your id in a flash. Post a photo of the things you would put on your "should own" list in the comments below.

Reporting on diverse communities that are not our own
This tip sheet was prepared to accompany a panel presentation at the Investigative Reporters and Editors conference in Philadelphia, 2015.
Advantages of multilingual, multicultural newsrooms
According to stats released by ASNE: for the past number of years only 13 percent of journalists in newsrooms across the nation are journos of color. The demographic composition of the majority of newsrooms doesn't reflect the city or town they propose to cover, no less the nation.
In Philadelphia, for example, by 2010 Census categories: 44 percent of the population is Black; 36 percent is white; 13 percent is Latino; 7 percent is Asian and Pacific Islander; 0.8 percent is American Indian and Alaska Native.12 percent is foreign-born, 21 percent speak a second language at home.
None of our newsrooms represent those percentages.
At the moment, at AL DÍA, 63 percent of our staff is Latino; 26 percent white; 11 percent Black; and 0 percent are Asian and Native American. 47 percent of us are foreign-born; 84 percent of our staff is bilingual (the languages we speak are English, Spanish, Arabic, French).
Because of our relative demographic diversity we do pretty well covering stories across most of Philadelphia; because of our demographic shortcomings we've become very proactive about collaborating with our colleagues from community and ethnic media to ensure that our coverage isn't plagued by erasure or flattening, and to enable us to interview in more languages than we speak.
An example of this was a collaboration between AL DÍA reporter Ana Gamboa and Metro Chinese Weekly editor Steve Yuan, focused on Chinese restaurant owners who hire Latino kitchen workers. Interviews were conducted in Cantonese and Spanish. Steve brought years of experience in covering the Chinese business community, Ana brought years of experience covering Mexican and Central American immigrants. Both brought a very nuanced understanding of what otherwise would generically be labeled Asian and Latino in our city, and were well-versed in specific distinctions in language, regional custom and more — all of which contributed to a story that could not have been written by either media organization alone. The resulting story was published on both websites in English and Spanish and English and Chinese, and published in print in Spanish and Chinese.
Protip: Hire bilingual or polyglot reporters, and reporters from the communities your media organization should be covering better. In the interim or in addition, work collaboratively with the ethnic media in ways that will inform and engage both readerships and benefit both media organizations.
Collegial collaboration
Beware of thinking that just having work translated — or engaging a translator for interviews for a particular story —is enough. We'd like to assume that cultural literacy and an understanding of the history and complexity of the particular community being covered would be part of any translator's bag of tricks, but it's not necessarily so. Particularly if it is an academic translator who lives outside of the community and has little awareness of the dynamics of the community. Collaboration with an ethnic news organization that has a history of covering the community is a far better move.
Collegiality is one of the sticking points in the relationship between mainstream media and ethnic media. We are often asked by our mainstream colleagues to share our sources, or to be sources, or to function as translators for what will be a single-byline, single-media organization story.
Worse, our own investigative work of years is ruthlessly mined, without credit or even so much as a cursory hat tip to the reporter or media organization involved. Because ethnic media is, consciously or unconsciously, not viewed by mainstream media as a peer.
An example of this happened for us a few years ago when we conducted an hour-long video conversation with then Governor Tom Corbett. We always ask public officials about the number of Latinos on their administrations, and Corbett responded that he couldn't find any Latinos for his staff. We immediately put that segment of the interview on our website and someone at Think Progress found it. They used the video in a piece that pointed out Corbett's cluelessness and his erasure of the growing Latino population of PA — which was fair. But despite the fact that Corbett and I (who conducted the interview) were seated in front of an AL DÍA News Media drop, the only mention of us in the Think Progress piece was to say that the video clip was part of a longer interview conducted by "a Spanish-language newspaper in Philadelphia." Can you imagine the parallel attribution of "an English-language newspaper in Philadelphia" if the video had been pulled off the Philadelphia Inquirer, the Daily News or even Philadelphia Magazine's website? I can't.
By the next day, Salon, Huffington Post, and a dozen other news media organizations had picked up Think Progress' story and replicated the lack of attribution and lack of link. While Think Progress did — after prodding — change "a Spanish-language newspaper" to AL DÍA News Media and inserted a link, I'll never forget the conversation I had with one of their editors. He told me I shouldn't be annoyed by the lack of attribution but glad that they picked up the video since it garnered far more attention than we would have gotten otherwise. I had to point out that the very reason they picked it up is that no other news organization had, at that point, bothered to ask the governor about his Latino hires, and that their lack of attribution betrayed a fundamental disrespect for us as a journalistic entity, representing a parallel to Corbett's erasure of Latinos — which was, after all, what they were decrying and ridiculing.
Pro-tip: Attribute. With at least the same level of respect accorded to mainstream news organizations. Treat ethnic media journalists as your peers — because they are. If some ethnic media organization's investigation prompted yours, a hat tip is in order. Don't anticipate silence on our part when we see what you did — because, hey, we can call you out in at least two languages.
Let's talk about writing and editing
Code words, stereotypes and the political choice to break style
Protip: Language matters.
It will come as no surprise to any of you that AL DÍA doesn't use the terms "illegal immigrant" or "illegal alien" which we believe are — at best — a wholly inaccurate representation of people who are out of status in our nation, and — at worse — an intentional criminalization and way to slur Latinos and Asians, regardless of documentation status.
In 2013, AP changed its stylebook, and many news organizations changed usage with it. But not only are we now seeing a resurgence in the use of these terms by big media organizations, but there have always been organizations and individual journalists who choose to use these terms. Sometimes, the editors or copyeditors at an otherwise AP-style news organizations are, by inattention or intention, complicit in this choice.
We don't have nearly enough time to argue the rationale behind the use of these terms, but many defend them as a description of an actual aspect of a group of people, and therefore not a slur. We don't see it that way. For example, it is true that some people who speak English with a Spanish accent pronounce the word "speak" as "spic". So that slur could be defended as a description of an actual aspect of a group of people. But of course we know it is not.
In dealing with any ethnic community ignoring what those who are part of the community say about "code words" or slurs is not a laudable defense — nor a wise long-term strategy for the news organization's well-being.
Protip: Beware of adjectives
In the coverage of the recent mayoral primary in Philadelphia, I tracked a lot of stereotype plied in headlines and adjectives used to describe the one Latino candidate who made to primary day. He was described as "loud," "outlandish" and headlines had him "flipping out." He was also, with some frequency, left out of composite photos used to promote stories about the candidates as a whole.
I know, beyond a doubt, that I irritated colleagues I esteem in the mainstream by pointing this out every time I noticed it. The thing is, it kept happening. The ethnic media doesn't expect mainstream to be as attentive to the stereotypes of our communities as we are, but we do expect that, if we point them out, there will be care paid to keeping them from becoming the leit motif of coverage.
Again, collaborations can be an effective way to dispel misunderstanding or misreading when certain terms are used. In the aforementioned collaboration between AL DÍA and Metro Chinese Weekly, for example, the use of the word "Amigos" is key. Now, if we were working the story alone, the fact that Chinese restaurant owners used that word to refer to their Latino kitchen employees, would most likely be interpreted as a little iffy and paternalistic. After all, "amigo" is most frequently used by non-Latinos not for its actual meaning (friend) but as punctuation (to draw attention to our ethnicity and "otherness") in sentences that often purport to tell us things "as they really are," not as we imagine them to be.
There is, of course, ethnicity and otherness pointed out in the use of the word amigo by the Chinese restaurateurs as well, but because we were collaborating with a Chinese journalist we were able to understand that there is no collective term for "Latinos" in the Chinese vernacular spoken in Philly's Chinatown. And that in this case "Amigos" was the chosen collective term. It makes its use throughout the story quite a different thing, and something we would never had known had we not been working a collaborative story.
Default audiences, single stories, and according credibility and authority
None of us, no matter how large or small our news media organization, can afford to write to whatever was once our default audience. Demographic changes in our cities and towns demand that we reexamine if we are speaking only — or even primarily — to one portion of the population. At AL DÍA, for example, after 20 years of publishing only in Spanish, we know have a website that is about 75 percent bilingual (we are working toward 100 percent). Many second- and third-generation Latinos prefer to read in English. Likewise, you don't have to be Latino to be interested in a Latino perspective on what is happening in our city and nation, or to find stories about the Latino communities intriguing and engaging.
Protip: Write for people who aren't you.
I think it is fair to say most media organizations would like to reach millennials, even when we aren't millennial ourselves. But ... what about Latino millennials?
Broadening the default means really broadening the default.
Protip: Be aware of the specific heritage composition of the ethnic communities in your city.
The Puerto Rican community has shared challenges with the Mexican immigrant community or the Dominican community in Philadelphia, but also many distinct ones. A journalist at a mainstream news organization here and I play this little game where we point out to each other the number of times Puerto Ricans are called immigrants in stories. Puerto Ricans aren't immigrants, of course, but Americans no matter whether they were born on the mainland or on the island.
Also remember that the asylum or refugee application outcomes are quite different for Cubans and Venezuelans than they are for Mexicans or Central Americans. Latinos with indigenous heritages may have access to quite different levels of services in your city — so a Mam speaker from Mexico cannot be served by the same interpreter a Mam speaker from Guatemala would be.
Likewise the Asian community — some challenges are shared by the Korean, Vietnamese, Cambodian, Indian and Indonesian communities here, but many are specific to the particular neighborhood or community.
Communities are complex, and deserve real legwork on your part before you think of filing your story.
Protip: Honor everybody.
Too often the single story leads to stories without the particular community's voice in them, or the same story written over and over (stories about police brutality in communities tend to be particularly bad about this). And way too often credibility and authority are assigned only to those outside of the community.
Again, using the mayoral primary race here as an example, a story about low Latino voter turnout and the Latino candidate's chances of getting any sort of vote count was trotted out early. With its fundamental flaw of not citing nor including any Latino voices, this piece felt — to a number of us in the community — as more anthropological treatise than journalism.
No community wants to be the subject of an anthropological study. We have to move out of our own feelings of authority as journalists — even long-term and acclaimed journalists — to get a full story. For us, that has meant collaborating with Solomon Jones, a journalist from WURD (an independent African American radio station) to do stories about African American and Latino relations in North Philly, and upcoming (hopefully) in South Philly as well.
Protip: Look at and revise your go-to list.
We need to acknowledge that our contact lists and sources are sometimes as segregated as our neighborhoods, and then we need to make sure we do something about it — with every story we file, not just the ones we understand to have an ethnic component.
Responding to criticism about coverage
None of us like to know we got it wrong. Or that we didn't consider a hugely important aspect of a story. For us, that happened with the story about African American and Latino in North Philly, which I just mentioned. We were called out by Afro-Latinos — and rightfully so — for the very structure of our story which centered on two "separate" demographics and their interaction. We effected, without intending to, a further erasure of those who are already usually erased from Latino, and to lesser extent, African American, discourse in the city.
It is incredibly important to hear this sort of criticism. Which is one of the reasons I don't agree with removing comment sections on stories. While it is true that comments can become toxic very quickly, it is also that this section does away with intentional or unintentional gatekeeping. It is the comment section where these sort of omissions and erasures are most usually pointed out to us.
Protip: Read the comments on your stories. Be willing to admit that your story may have flattened, done damage, reinforced stereotype in ways you had no idea it did.
Protip: Cultivate a collegial enough relationship with your peers at ethnic community media that when you still don't see it, they can help you understand it.

Charleston and Dominican Republic — the confluence of racism
The AME church that was attacked in Charleston, in addition to being an important part of the 20th century civil rights movement, was established in the 19th century by an abolitionist who drew inspiration from the slave revolt which secured independence for Haiti, and planned a similar revolt to try to free the slaves in South Carolina.
I can't help noting (as have others) the confluence of Wednesday night's horrific attack in Charleston (which left 9 dead) and the fact that today, the Dominican Republic is repatriating to Haiti more than 200,000 Dominicans of Haitian descent. It has stripped them of citizenship (retroactive to 1929, before the DR's historic "Parsley" massacre of Haitians) thereby rendering them stateless and highlighting a long-entrenched anti-Blackness that is pervasive in many Latin American countries.
I am heartbroken at the way we repeat our history — here and there — changing one detail or another but always with the same foundation: racism.

Capcom will be bringing two more of their vintage SNES titles to the Virtual Console sometime soon as Final Fight and Street Fighter II Turbo have popped up on the ESRB list of recently cleared titles. As Super Nintendo games, both of these arcade classics are classically gimped -- the technical term used for when something is downgraded.
The SNES edition of Final Fight, while technically impressive for its time, goes above and beyond the call of duty when it comes to killing the magic. Not only did Final Fight on the SNES drop the two-player action that made it a hit in the first place, but also the red-clothed karate champ, Guy. Sure, you're playing it for Haggar anyways, but do you really want to be stuck with Cody? You also get a dose of censorship as everyone's favorite video game transsexual, Poison, is nowhere to be found.
Street Fighter II Turbo (or Hyper Fighting as us humans call it) isn't that bad, but smaller sprites, a lack of online play and limited controller options on the Wii make it a hard sell. We love us some Zangief, but we don't see us pulling off our favorite combos on the classic controller.

A reader recently wrote to me and asked for clarification of a comment I posted on another blogger's thread about profitable permaculture farms. For a while, I had been active on that thread trying to get people to confront the contradictions inherent in permacapitalism, and had suggested that a truly sustainable paradigm might look something like this:-
Instead of mass society, there would be consentient communities.
Instead of governments, there would be consentient discussions.
Instead of exploitation, there would be cooperation.
Instead of agriculture, there would be permaculture.
There would be no civilisation, no industry, no work, no money, no need for money, no need for industry, no desire for civilisation.
Instead of education, there would be learning.
Instead of religion, there would be a joyous reality.
Instead of heteronomy, there would be autonomy.
I guess it's about high time I expanded on some of this, so here's what I mean, more precisely:-
"Instead of mass society, there would be consentient communities."
Mass society, as well as forming the underlying substrate for all 'hard' heteronomy such as violence, exploitation and indoctrination, is also the basis of all 'soft' heteronomies – wherein people come to accept certain ideas purely on the basis of having never encountered altenatives. Though I've come to wonder as to his true motivations, the writer Ran Prieur once smartly realised that the word 'mainstream' is exactly the opposite of the truth. Since realising that, I've tried wherever possible to use the word 'thinstream' in its place. The worst thing about mass society, therefore, is that all real radical change is rendered impossible so long as the people considering change are distracted by trying to make that change IN or FOR mass society. All would-be radicalism is then reduced to minimalism. I hope that all the following deconstuctions will demonstrate this in more detail.
"Instead of governments, there would be consentient discussions."
Many people try to improve certain ethical tenets of their societies but keep government there as some kind of imagined force for good. Governments, they think, will help protect them. Minarchists and libertarians think that if government is kept small this is somehow 'better'. As a moralist, I think that trying to control people is just wrong, and it doesn't matter how small you make it. In fact, the smaller government becomes, the more absurd that a really small group of people are trying to control a much larger group, regardless of their intentions. And I've written at length about how the intentions of those in government always end up skewed towards protecting government interests, not those of the people that created the institution.
Ultimately, if there are any aspects of social life between people that need to be discussed and actions organised, unless this is done on the basis of consensus then someone is being oppressed. Unless any activity has the express consent of everyone involved, then it is by definition UNREASONABLE.
"Instead of exploitation, there would be cooperation."
If I expect you to do something for me (that benefits me), and I want you to do it even though I KNOW it doesn't benefit you, then I'm imposing on you, and I ought to apologise. If I don't even recognise the imposition or don't care about the outcome for you, then I'm a psychopath and I'm exploiting you.
Because people nowadays are completely deluded by the gods of work, and money and property, they don't always see how they are exploiting each other. If they saw that they were, they might stop. What would they do next? Continue reading

I can never feel that the Illusion of Life is a truth as long as any illusion reflects unreality; however, even an untruth is a truth in its turn.
Blessed is he who believes in the illusion because thus he can find his great truth!
Believe in the hope of your Life Illusion because this is the only real thing that you posses!
How much weight can carry a thought which does not acknowledge that it is an illusion?
Rain drops are not the ones who bring the clouds.
What river can flood over the mountains of your love?
There isn't a God more real and truer than the God of your knowledge.
How many minutes will still die in the swamp of your illusion of being human?
God, listen to the absurdity within us and raise us from the illusion!

They come up with fucking retarded words such as scene, emo, greebo, (wtf? i dont know either.) straight edge, whatever whatever its all GAY. THEN, they complain about being judged when they are really just judging themselves AND everyone else by calling them these fuckin retarded things.

Bill Belichick has seen everything he needs from his prominent players this preseason. Quarterback Tom Brady and many key starters will not play in tonight's preseason finale according to two sources. That means quarterbacks Ryan Mallett and Tim Tebow along with backups throughout the depth chart on both sides of the ball will have ample opportunities to show their stuff. For some that means they'll have a final chance to prove whether or not they belong on the 53-man roster in time for Saturday's deadline. Others will get their shot to earn more playing time when the intensity heightens next week.

Quality is one of the most often used concepts in our existence. But what are we actually talking about? This book tries to answer this question and offers a way to look at quality. For this reason we go deeper in to Zen Buddhism: a philosophy in which quality plays a big part. About what kind of quality are we talking when it comes to Zen? In short, a research in quality in all its diversities.

You said something about your blue hair fading but not wanting to go back to the salon? No joke, just go to Walmart and pick up the Splat! brand blue color. It's a direct dye (aside from the bleach included in the kit) and that stuff LASTS. It's kind of crazy. I use the red on my sister's hair and it saves her $90 and lasts 4 times longer WITHOUT the bleach. Every time I have used a Splat kit I've never used the included bleach and it still looks awesome, even on dark hair. I hope that was the answer you were looking for :)

- Y-chromosome;
- Karyotyping
Embryos of mouse, rabbit, goat, sheep, and cattle were separated into 2 groups on the basis of their morphology when incubated with a male-specific antibody (qualified here as the H-Y antibody) prepared from newborn rat testis. When morula-stage embryos were cultured in the presence of this H-Y antibody, the development of roughly one half of the embryos was arrested at that stage, whereas the other half continued to develop to the blastocyst stage. The developmentaly arrested group of embryos resumed their development into blastocysts when cultured in antibody-free medium. Eighty to 90% of cattle embryos whose development was unaffected by the antibody were shown to possess a female karyotype (XX), and close to 80% of those embryos whose development was arrested possessed a male karyotype (XY). Cattle embryos whose sex had been presumptively identified by development in the presence of the H-Y antibody were cryopreserved and transferred, and the sex of the calves was examined. The overt sex of the young born from sexed embryos was found to be the same as that determined by chromosomal analysis. © 1993 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

In a pre-dawn strike similar to the recent one in Jehanabad in Bihar, a group of over 200 armed Naxalites, including women, today attacked a sub-jail in R Udayagiri town of Gajapati district in Orissa, freed the prisoners, killed three policemen, and took a police officer and the jailor hostage, sources said.
There were 40 prisoners, including some Naxalites, in the jail, and barring one, all of them escaped, sources said. The ultras ''pulled down'' the jail gates to help them escape. The ultras also attacked the police station, an Orissa Special Armed Police (OSAP) Camp, the treasury, the tehsildar's office and a telecom tower, spreading terror. They shot dead three policemen and injured two others, district collector Binod Bihari Mohanty, who escaped by taking refuge inside a house, said over telephone. The three cops killed were identified as Havildar Prasanta Patnaik, sepoy Tuna Dehury, and sepoy Rajesh Ekka. Police claimed that three Naxalites, including a woman, were killed when police returned fire. The exchange lasted around two hours.
The two who were captured by ultras were the officer in charge of the police station Ranjan Kumar Mallick and the jailor of the sub-jail, Rabinarayan Sethi, officials said. Mohanty added that the ultras looted arms from the
police station. The Naxalites approached the town from two directions and retreated after the attack via Saralapadar into the deep jungles, carrying the bodies of their dead comrades. The Naxalites had disconnected telephone lines to most of the offices and disrupted power supply in the town.
Police started combing operations along the direction of retreat of the ultras. Superintendent of police, Gajapati, A N Sinha was on his way to the town with reinforcements, said the district collector. However, the entry points to town would have to be cleared as the Naxalites have blocked them by felling trees and pushing boulders on to the road. Reports also said the Naxals could have planted landmines on the road to R Udayagiri town.
