Not long after World War 2 was declared in 1939, the Royal Australian Air Force had an urgent need for more skilled and semi-skilled signals and maintenance personnel to fulfil its wartime commitments to the Empire Air Training Scheme (EATS) for local defence in Australia. On 4 February 1941, the formation of an air force women's auxiliary was approved by the War Cabinet. It had taken 14 months of difficult discussion and opposition to achieve this final outcome.
The formation of the Women's Auxiliary Australian Air Force (WAAAF) set a precedence for the formation of other women's service organisations such as The Australian Women's Army Service (AWAS) and the Women's Royal Australian Naval Service (WRANS).
Approximately 27,000 women enlisted in the WAAAF between 15 March 1941 and 24 August 1945. In June 1941, Squadron Officer Clare Grant Stevenson was appointed Director of the WAAAF.
The first 20 WAAAFs were posted to Townsville between 28 October 1941 and 7 February 1942 to work at the North-Eastern Area Headquarters in Sturt Street. They were urgently required to fill the roles of teleprinter operators and general clerks. This initial intake of WAAAFs in the area were living in various homes or flats in Townsville. The Officer-in-Charge of WAAAFs in the Townsville area, Assistant Section Officer Yvonne Rentoul established the new WAAAF Barracks in St Anne's Church of England School in Townsville. It was a difficult task as Townsville was rapidly filling with American and Australian military units. This influx lead to a shortage of equipment and a demanding role in protecting the well-being of the fresh new female recruits.

"...Seniority of service
was prized by every early WAAAF, and 1941/early
1942 girls had a red eye shown on the eagle on the arm, the later 1942 girls
hadn't. Cutting words were exchanged on our unit when it was discovered
that some cheating WAAAF were actually sewing the red eye in".

LTE Global Pricing Strategies
Frédéric PUJOL
Head of the radio technologies & spectrum practice, IDATE
Expectations and forecasts of the future orientations of the mobile broadband market
Through the analysis of global leading telcos LTE pricing strategies, our team of IDATE analysts have identified four main trends happening in Q1 2013: Multi-device connectivity strategies, Emergence of new high-speed data services, A greater and manageable quality of service resulting in new price plans and the apparition of LTE Advanced, a faster and less costly band for operators.
Multi Device Strategies
Introduced by Verizon Wireless through its shared dataplans, not only is it very successful but also represents a huge opportunity to leverage its LTE network in the long term with two growth opportunities:
- Data consumption growth introduced by the incentive of using "big screen" devices such as tablets, laptops and connected TV's for HD video watching. The more devices there are, the more data will be consumed and it will make more subscribers to upgrade to larger data cap plans
- Multi-platform approach supporting the new 'content everywhere' trend and allowing services ubiquity: a Netflix subscriber can watch the beginning of a video on his mobile and finish it on his tablet or laptop, starting where he left off, with a unique account.
LTE major runners strategic positionning
High-Speed data services
LTE allows developing new services that require a large data bandwidth and that could not exist with 3G: some already existed with fixed broadband (HD VoD, cloud services) and some are dedicated to mobile usages (Rich Communications Suite and car black box among the latter). Moreover telcos are starting to propose LTE services so as to counter OTT (over the top) services.
These services are either free or available through additional monthly subscription. Moreover, the Evolved Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service will allow new video services without the need of a specific frequency layer.
A greater and manageable quality of service
Quality of service is the most important LTE innovation as it can be managed from end to end on a mobile network. Classes of priority can be created and managed allowing Swisscom to segment their offer not by data usage but by bandwidth, which stresses the need of consistent quality over the totality of the network. For example when 100 Mbps are advertised clients are less prone to accept irregularities.
LTE Advanced
Korean operators expect to launch LTE-Advanced by mid-2013, this is the new generation of LTE. Its spectral efficiency is four to five times greater than 3G where LTE is only 3 times greater. This implies that the cost per MB will fall for operators and will orient strategies towards higher or ultimately unlimited data caps and rate plans differentiated trough quality of service.

Edited 6/26/06
Before anyone reads any futrher, I would like to say that Redcat has been on the ''up-and-up'' since this post. I will not go into detail, for company privacy reasons, but I 'will' say that I am VERY impressed.
Lets' just say that Traxxas or HPI would NEVER, 'never' do what redcat did for me. "Redcat" WENT ABOVE, AND BEYOND. Seriously. (Although I do have to be comlpetely fair, Traxxas did replace my bad-out-of-the-box one way bearing, no questions asked - and had excellent customer service - But they would never have went as far as Redcat did, I am seriously impressed...)
I appriciate the support of the forum and I appriciate the help of Dan, and the understanding of "Redcat".
Thank you all....
(The posts from here forward, until my updated 6/26 post are old and have been resolved. I left them for reference and archives only.)
Thanks again,
I'll be back soon for my next Redcat :-)
Original (OLD) post:
Redcat has (edited 6/26 *NOT LOST*) lost me as a customer. Why you ask ?
#1 - Has anyone noticed the Tremor XTK / XTG mix up ? The model numbers are backwards from what the model actually says on the body....
I bought an ''XTK'' which was suppossed to be the 8 shock with off road tires and a truck body and bumpers. The box actually says "OFF ROAD TRUCK" and shows a picture of the 'truck', and even has the model number checked off by the factory on the box.
But what I got was a 'Truggy' - Not really a big deal BUT, what doesn't add up, is the model number on the 'truggy' body is 'XTK', and the model number on the 'Truck' is 'XTG'... hahaha MORONS.... Check the website, it's ''backwards ''' - Seriously, look closely at the GALLERY pictures as compared to the PART NUMBER.... That makes me chuckle....
Now, to be fair, I assume that there may be a reason, maybe previous upgrades or product line changes, name changes, and so on, but this does not excuse the fact of the matter.... According to all the information, website, pictrures, and box art, I was buying a 'Truck" not a 'Truggy'.
Take a look at the Tremor gallery photos on www.redcatracing.com - Now, take note of the model number, compared to what the body says.
#2 - I wrote RedCatRacing about the issue last week, I never got a response. SO, I wrote them again (About a completely different issue) and had 3 emails from customer service, BUT, as soon as I mentioned the model mix-up and requested the missing parts, she cut-off communication, with NO RESPONSE.
I even suggested that I would EXCHANGE my parts for the ones I that I 'thought' I was buying based on their advertising.... no response ...
#3 - I orded replacement parts early on the morning of the 7th (Thursday of last week)
Finally, on the 11th, the order status changed from pending to say "Printed",,, and then it took until 14th (today) to say "Shipped in Full", so I'll probobly not get them until Saturday 16th, 1 1/2 weeks later ..... wow .... Rediculous, we are talking shipping from California to Georgia .... USPS Priority Mail, come on .... (I was just informed by Bluecaka that Redcat ships from Arizona (NOT Cali') so I would like to correct the previous statement)
(Edited 16th) I finally got my parts today (Saturday) - Let's see if they are correct....
#4 - Both my stock servos (first, the brake side of the throttle, and then left steering) stripped out within the first 7 tanks of fuel. AMAZING. I turned in a warranty claim, but no surprise obvously, no response. A throttle servo ???? COME ON !!! .... (I was also informed by Bluecaka of a model-ing fact-oid that servos are not covered under warranties, I was more so pointing out the fact that they BOTH actually "broke" after 2 hours. Ha. )
#5 - I finally got my order and of course, it was wrong.
(Again to be fair, I have not told redact about the issue so they 'might' correct it, but the point is, it was wrong to begin with.
Redcat needs to get their customer service together. A "no" response is better than "No Response" at all.
([Edited]- To be fair, redcatdan did contact me immediately after this was posted, but it seemed to be an automated response...)
.... for those who may be considering this company, BE FOR-WARNED. Just be aware before you dive in and get mad.
By the way, if anyone wants to order a clear-unpainted body for a Tremor truck (Part # 4286), hurry up and buy one from redcat because they screwed up and listed them for $1.99 right next to the $15.99, so just a heads-up.... (Clermont) :-)
(Edited: ohh sorry about that, redcatdan took it off the website right after I posted this !! ahhh funny .... Well, it goes to show you, they IMMEDIATELY fixed 'that' problem ..... Wow, clear unpainted body sales must be more important than keeping customers LOL...)

The Conservative Bible Project is a project utilizing the "best of the public" to render God's word into modern English without archaic language and liberal translation distortions.[1] A Colbert Report interview featured this project.[2] We completed a first draft of our translation of the New Testament on April 23, 2010.
Isaac Newton, who was merely an average student, worked on translating the Bible and that gave him the inspiration and insight for inventing calculus, developing mechanics, and discovering gravity. Going beyond reading the Bible to translating it also enables eradication of liberal distortions that have crept in, such as pro-abortion bias against references to the unborn child. Just as Shakespeare's works are losing interest in the West due to its increasingly archaic language, the use of archaic and liberal language in Western translations of the Bible loses people.
Liberal bias has become the single biggest distortion in modern Bible translations. There are three sources of errors in conveying biblical meaning:
- lack of precision in the original language, such as terms underdeveloped to convey new concepts introduced by Christ
- lack of precision in modern language
- translation bias, mainly of the liberal kind, in converting the original language to the modern one.
Experts in ancient languages are helpful in reducing the first type of error above, which is a vanishing source of error as scholarship advances understanding. English language linguists are helpful in reducing the second type of error, which also decreases due to an increasing vocabulary. But the third—and largest—source of translation error requires conservative principles to reduce and eliminate.[3]
As of 2009, there was no fully conservative translation of the Bible which satisfies the following ten guidelines:[4]
- Framework against Liberal Bias: providing a strong framework that enables a thought-for-thought translation without corruption by liberal bias. For example, the Living Bible translation has liberal evolutionary bias;[5] the widely used NIV translation has a pro-abortion bias.[6]
- Not Emasculated: avoiding unisex, "gender inclusive" language, and other feminist distortions; preserve many references to the unborn child (the NIV deletes these)
- Not Dumbed Down: not dumbing down the reading level, or diluting the intellectual force and logic of Christianity;[7] the NIV is written at only the 7th grade level[8]
- Utilize Terms which better capture original intent: using powerful new conservative terms to capture better the original intent;[9] Defective translations use the word "comrade" three times as often as "volunteer"; similarly, updating words that have a change in meaning, such as "word", "peace", and "miracle".
- Combat Harmful Addiction: combating addiction[10] by using modern terms for it, such as "gamble" rather than "cast lots";[11] using modern political terms, such as "register" rather than "enroll" for the census
- Accept the Logic of Hell: applying logic with its full force and effect, as in not denying or downplaying the very real existence of Hell or the Devil.
- Express Free Market Parables; explaining the numerous economic parables with their full free-market meaning
- Exclude Later-Inserted Inauthentic Passages: excluding the interpolated passages that liberals commonly put their own spin on, such as the adulteress story
- Credit Open-Mindedness of Disciples: crediting open-mindedness, often found in youngsters like the eyewitnesses Mark and John, the authors of two of the Gospels
- Prefer Conciseness over Liberal Wordiness: preferring conciseness to the liberal style of high word-to-substance ratio; avoid compound negatives and unnecessary ambiguities; prefer concise, consistent use of the word "Lord" rather than "Jehovah" or "Yahweh" or "Lord God."
Thus, a project began among editors at Conservapedia to translate the Bible in accordance with these principles. The translated Bible can be found here.
Benefits include:
- mastery of the Bible, which is priceless
- mastery of the English language, which is valuable
- thorough understanding of the differences in Bible translations, particularly the historically important King James Version
- benefiting from activity that no public school would ever allow; a Conservative Bible could become a text for public school courses
- political issues can become a pathway to evangelizing liberals
- liberals will oppose this effort, but they will have to read the Bible to criticize this, and that will open their minds
- this project has a unifying effect on various Christian denominations, and serves as an important counterweight to liberal efforts to divide conservative candidates based on religion
Helpful Approaches
Here are helpful approaches to creating a conservative Bible translation:
- identify faulty pro-liberal terms used in existing Bible translations, such as "government", and suggest more accurate substitutes
- identify the omission of liberal terms for vices, such as "gambling", and identify where they should be used
- identify conservative terms that are omitted from existing translations, and propose where they could improve the translation
- identify terms that have lost their original meaning, such as "word" in the beginning of the Gospel of John, and suggest replacements, such as "truth"
Building on the King James Version
In the United States and much of the world, the immensely popular and respected King James Version (KJV) is freely available and in the public domain. It could be used as the baseline for developing a conservative translation without requiring a license or any fees. Many consider the Conservative Bible Project, as well as any other Bible translation projects, to be heretical and in opposition to Matthew 5:18, which was fulfilled in the King James Bible. Though based on younger manuscripts, the KJB is based on near consensus of 5,700 preserved by Christians, while modern versions are based on three manuscripts kept by monks (two if you consider the Sainaiticus a fake), which came from Alexandria Egypt, where heritics thought they could "correct" the Bible. All three of the Alexandrian manuscripts contains the Aprocrypha.
There are 66 books in the KJV, comprised of 1,189 chapters, 31,102 verses, and 788,280 words.[12] The project began with translation of the New Testament, which is only 27 books, 260 chapters, 7,957 verses, and less than 200,000 words.
Retranslation at rate of 20 verses a day would complete the entire New Testament in about a year. With 5 good retranslators, that would be an average of only 4 verses a day per translator. At a faster rate of 20 verses per day by 5 good translators, the entire New Testament could be retranslated in less than 3 months.
First Example - Liberal-Promoted Falsehood
The earliest, most authentic manuscripts of the Gospel According to Luke lack this verse fragment set forth at the start of Luke 23:34:[13]
- Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing."
Is this a corruption of the original, perhaps promoted by liberals without regard to its authenticity? This does not appear in any other Gospel, and the simple fact is that some of the persecutors of Jesus did know what they were doing. This quotation is a favorite of liberals, although it does not appear in the earliest and best manuscripts of the Gospel of Luke. It should not appear in a conservative Bible, because in point of fact Jesus might never had said it at all.
Second Example - Dishonestly Shrewd
At Luke 16:8, the NIV describes an enigmatic parable in which the "master commended the dishonest manager because he had acted shrewdly." But is "shrewdly", which has connotations of dishonesty, the best term here? Being dishonestly shrewd is not an admirable trait.
The better conservative term, which became available only in 1851, is "resourceful". The manager was praised for being "resourceful", which is very different from dishonesty. Yet not even the ESV, which was published in 2001, contains a single use of the term "resourceful" in its entire translation of the Bible.
Advantages to a Conservative Bible Online
There are several striking advantages to a conservative approach to translating the Bible online:
- participants learn enormously from the process
- liberal bias - and lack of authenticity - become easier to recognize and address
- by translating online, this utilizes the growing online resources that improve accuracy
- supported by conservative principles, the project can be bolder in uprooting and excluding liberal distortions
- the project can adapt quickly to future threats from liberals to biblical integrity
- access is free and immediate to the growing internet audience, for their benefit
- the ensuing debate would flesh out—and stop—the infiltration of churches by liberals/atheists pretending to be Christian, much as a vote by legislators exposes the liberals
- this would bring the Bible to a new audience of political types, for their benefit; Bible courses in college Politics Departments would be welcome
- this would debunk the pervasive and hurtful myth that Jesus would be a political liberal today
- an unbiased and truthful Bible is of immeasurable value to society

- ↑ The committee in charge of updating the bestselling version, the NIV, is dominated by professors and higher-educated participants who can be expected to be liberal and feminist in outlook. As a result, the revision and replacement of the NIV will be influenced more by political correctness and other liberal distortions than by genuine examination of the oldest manuscripts. As a result of these political influences, it becomes desirable to develop a conservative translation that can serve, at a minimum, as a bulwark against the liberal manipulation of meaning in future versions.
- ↑ Additional less important guidelines include (1) adherence to a concise and dignifying style, such as use of "who" rather than "that" when referring to people and also use glorifying language for the remarkable achievements and (2) recognizing that Christianity introduced powerful new concepts that even the Greek and Hebrew were inadequate to express, but modern conservative language can express well.
