David Hamilton (Midlothian): In that case, would it not be appropriate for the same proposal to cover the whole of Scotland, so spreading that responsibility throughout Scotland and England?
Mr. Murphy: I am sure that that would be appropriate, and I shall deal with that point in a moment.
The proposals for the plant would include state of the art technology, tried and tested by SULO in Germany, where the parent company now operates a refrigerator
The two local authorities have applied to DEFRA for a one-off grant of £330,000. That would represent their contribution to the capital costs of the plant and its first-year running costs. It is proposed that any profits from the recycling would be ring-fenced by the local authorities to assist in greater recycling and to develop further their respective waste strategies. The DEFRA grant will be an important component in setting up the new company. Again, I would appreciate my right hon. Friend's ministerial support in securing the funding.
It is possible, with the co-operation of local people, the planning authorities and the other agencies involved with such a proposal, to have a brand new state of the art refrigerator recycling plant up and running in under eight months from now. Again, I would urge the Minister to give the proposals his full support, once he is satisfied with them.
It has been estimated that we need at least four plants of that size to deal with the fridges that need to be disposed of in the United Kingdom. It is important therefore that we get this right. I am very confident that we have the right partnership and the right site.
The site itself is ideally placed to take refrigerators from the whole of the north of England and southern Scotland. The deep-water port of Blyth is situated just over a mile away. The railway line comes to within 50 m, requiring only the construction of a siding. The dual carriageway linking the A1 and the A19 runs past the site, giving it a perfect transport infrastructure. The site is designated for that type of use in the district council's local plan. It has the added advantage of being a brownfield site, situated on an old colliery.
We have a huge national problem with the disposal of refrigerators. The plant could be a demonstration project for best practice in the United Kingdom. It would provide employment, recover valuable materials and safely dispose of CFCs. I am confident that it will be a success, and it would be nice if my right hon. Friend could leave a space in his busy schedule to perform the opening ceremony.
There is also scope on the site to take recycling a stage further. Why should we wait until 2004 to comply with the white goods directive to recycle other electrical equipment? We have an opportunity immediately after the construction of the refrigerator recycling plant to build phase 3 and recycle all electrical equipment. We have demonstrated in Wansbeck that, if the political will exists and the correct partnerships are formed, local authorities can advance very quickly towards the modest targets set by our Government.
In conclusion, I ask that my right hon. Friend lend the full support of the Government to the scheme that I have outlined. I ask him to consider introducing a target of zero waste and to set a goal of 20 years to achieve it. I also ask him to allow the House at a later date the opportunity to debate the much wider issue involved.
The Minister for the Environment (Mr. Michael Meacher): I congratulate my hon. Friend the Member for Wansbeck (Mr. Murphy) on securing this debate.
My hon. Friend was absolutely right to refer to the worrying increase in the amount of waste. As he said, it is increasing at about 3 per cent. a yearroughly in line with economic growth. However, we as a nation need to decouple economic growth, which we want, from waste generation, driving it down from plus 3 per cent. a year towards nought and preferably a minus figure, but we are some way from doing that. But if we do carry on at 3 per cent. a year, in about 25 years the level of waste generated will double, as my hon. Friend said, and that, I think all parties will accept, is intolerable.
I was interested to hear my hon. Friend's views on recycling, and on developments in Wansbeck in particular. The EU landfill directive is driving the policy. It requires the level of municipal waste which goes to landfill in Britain, currently between 80 and 85 per cent.one of the highest figures in the EUto be reduced to scarcely more than a third of that by 2016, although there is a four-year leeway, but within 18 years at most. That is a huge shift away from landfill.
To help achieve those legal obligations, we have set some fairly tough, but, I am sure, achievable, national targets for recycling, which I hope are well understood by all hon. Members and local authorities, to double recycled waste within a three-year period by 200304 and to treble it within a five-year period by 200506. That is underpinned by statutory targets for each local authority.
As my hon. Friend said, increased recycling is absolutely essential. If one goes up the waste hierarchy, landfill is at the bottom; incineration may well have a role but is not popular; and recycling, re-use and recovery are unquestionably the best options. They are almost always the best environmental options, although the very best options are waste minimisation and not generating the waste in the first place. We have to incentivise that more than we have so far managed to do.
The system of tradeable landfill permits will also help local authorities to reduce landfilling by limiting the amount of biodegradable waste that can be disposed of in this way. That system will be enforced by financial sanctions.
I am aware that Wansbeck, and other parts of the north-east, have in the past had low recycling rates, and I would be the first to admit that Oldham in my constituency comes into that category too. Too often the recycling rate is as low as 1, 3 or 5 per cent., and such rates must be significantly increased. The national recycling rate when the Government took office in 1997 was about 6 per cent. and it is now about 11 per cent., but it has to reach 25 per cent. by 200506.
I understand that Wansbeck has made much progress. My hon. Friend said that the 11 per cent. recycling rate has been achieved and the 25 per cent. rate would be reached well in advance of the Government's target, and that is excellent news. He also talked about a waste management facility substantially increasing its throughput during the next few years.
My hon. Friend was certainly looking for a substantial grantI wondered at what point there would be an appeal for money, and I did not have to wait longfor a fridge
As I have indicated, the Government are very much committed to increasing recycling. We are assisting local authorities through a variety of measures to develop new and existing initiatives. We understand that, as my hon. Friend said, recycling and sustainable waste management in general can involve short-term costs, especially while the necessary infrastructure and markets are being developed. That is why financial support to help local authorities with waste management has increased substantially in recent years.
The 2000 spending review included an annual increase in the relevant local authority spending block. By 200304, that spending block will have risen by £1.1 billion on the 200001 provisiona very substantial rise. It is for local authorities to decide what proportion of that spending block is directed at waste management and recycling projects. It is the Government's aim under the agenda on modernising local government to give that option and discretion to local authorities, but they must meet the statutory recycling targets.
We have also provided an additional ring-fenced pot of £140 million for local authority waste minimisation and recycling. Wansbeck district council and all local authorities in England can apply for grants from the fund for recycling projects. Applications for funding from that pot of money are being submitted at the moment, and grants will be distributed in August for first-year funding. Obviously, I cannot speak about specific bids.
Mr. Roy Beggs (East Antrim): While we continue to promote recycling, does the Minister agree that we need to fund the products that have been made through recycling and help them to become acceptable in the marketplace?
Mr. Meacher: The hon. Gentleman is exactly right; he has anticipated what I was going to say later, so in answer to his question, I shall say it now. There is very little point in increasing recycling unless there is a commercial purpose to which it can be put, which means either that there is an input into another industrial process or that what is produced can be sold on in the form of recycled products. There is little point in collecting recyclates and then having to landfill them because of the lack of a market. If recycling projects are to be successful, we must have a strong market for recycled products.
That is why last year we established the waste and resources action programme with £40 million of Government and devolved Administration funding. Its focus is on creating stable and efficient markets for recycled materials and its remit extends across the
I mentioned the £140 million ring-fenced fund. We consulted widely on proposals for the distribution of the fund. The consultation paper stressed that it is intended not as a replacement for funds that authorities should be spending anyway, but as an extra boost for recycling capacity. A proportion of the fund has been earmarkedI am very keen on this approachto assist poorly performing authorities that require such a boost in order to get meaningful recycling off the ground. If we are going to get the bottom quarter of local authorities into the middle of the range, they will need support. I am determined that part of the fund will enable them to make that change and that there will be no possible complaint that they have not had full assistance in doing so. That is not a reward for failure, but recognition of the need for additional assistance. A proportion of funding is also earmarked for high-performing authorities, which will tackle the more difficult and resource-intensive waste streams, such as plastic. I mentioned that earlier. I hope and believe that recycling projects in those areas will pave the way for others and help determine the best way to tackle new waste streams.
Future funding for local authority waste management and recycling projects is a matter for this year's spending review. I cannot pre-empt its outcome; I hope that there will be an announcement before the summer. However, I know that central Government need to work closely with local authorities.
Let me use a buzzword that is nevertheless meaningfulpartnership. Working in partnership is important, and a proportion of the £140 million fund has been set aside for such working between authorities. We encourage all local authorities to work togetherthat is often more effective than working separatelyand with the community sector.
The community sector has an important role to play and a further proportion of the £140 million fund has been set aside to help to develop community sector initiatives. In addition, the new opportunities fund is distributing £39 million of lottery money for community sector waste re-use, recycling and composting projects across England. I urge all local authorities to engage with local groups in order to achieve their targets.
We recognise that local authorities may have to make large capital investments in recycling facilities. My hon. Friend made that clear. To help deal with that, £220 million of private finance initiative credits have been set aside for waste projects. Perhaps the project that my hon. Friend mentioned can be assisted in that way.
Some local authorities will have the opportunity to be closely involved in working up and bringing forward local projects that are supported by the aggregates levy sustainability fund and linking them with other initiatives. The fund provides nearly £30 million per year for England
My hon. Friend referred at length to fridges. I recognise that the fridge issue is especially worrying to local authorities. The new rules that require the removal of chlorofluorocarbons from fridges are entirely consistent with the general drive to increase recycling rates. Up to the end of last year, many fridges were simply sent to landfill sites. That is not a sustainable form of disposal for an electrical white goods product such as a fridge. Under the new controls, all fridges will be sent to specialist facilities where harmful CFCs and other ozone depleters will be removed and the metal content recycled.
Central Government have worked closely with local authorities on the fridge issue. We have facilitated meetingsI have chaired manybetween local authorities and processors to kick-start the development of treatment facilities. There is already one fridge recycling plant operating in the United Kingdom and several more should be up and running during the summer. By the end of June, we expect to be processing more than 50,000 fridges a month.
I am also working with retailers, the voluntary sector and the waste industry to encourage the re-use of fridges that can be restored to full working order. A proportion of themperhaps 15 per cent. to 20 per cent. of those that would be returned to retailers under the take-back schemecan be refurbished and sold on. We want to maximise that if possible. On the question of money, we have already provided local authorities with additional
Generally, I recognise that we still have a long way to go on recycling, and a long way to go to deliver the Government's vision of more sustainable waste management set out in our waste strategy 2000. I liked my hon. Friend's reference to zero waste. That is a meaningful concept, but we are a long way from it. It is ultimately the objective that we should have. That is why we have asked the Government's performance and innovation unit to review the strategy. Its findings will help to identify what extra instruments, changes to targets or regulations and, perhaps, additional funding may be required to ensure that we meet the EU landfill directive.
The direction of travel is clear, however. We must recycle a great deal more to meet the kinds of averages that have already been achieved in many EU countries, and we must landfill a great deal less. Our statutory targets must be met, and I am determined that they will be. I appreciate the inroads that local authorities have made, and the need to continue to make substantial progress in this area. They need to look to the full range of partnerships to deliver this visionpartnerships with the waste industry, other local authorities, the community, packaging compliance schemesthese are very importantand, of course, central Government.
I thank my hon. Friend for the opportunity to have this debate, which has been very useful. With imagination and drive, I am sure that we can achieve what needs to be done.

Beautiful story and fabulous photos! I love the look you captured on the cat's face especially in the first photo of him walking toward you. So much fun. I loved it.
The Honorable Lord of Ca' Rezzonico
My story with the cats of Venice began a couple of years ago when I met Brussa in one of the shops selling Murano glass. She was an aging black beauty with a touch of white. She was not well. Didn't like Venetian weather and suffered from arthritis. Nonetheless she set like a queen on a chair and acted like all true cats and queens act – she stared into space like I was not there. People usually can't pull that off but cats are true masters if ignoring. I envy this skill but I cannot say I like it.
Next time I met a cat during this trip. It was even worse. My boyfriend was the one to spot him first. The cat was also black but young. He had yellow eyes and flaming heart. There are places in Venice (like in any other city) that are just not interesting. And this cat is living in such a place – simple house, simple alley, and the only view is a grey wall opposite his window and a piece of sky. Not sure if he cared for the sky. But he definitely cared that we were there – right in front of his window. I could read it from his eyes that we were ruining the morning and the view. People… Worse than that tourists… Even worse than that – with a camera. You must be kidding me. Who the hell would want to spend a morning looking at tourists with cameras who stare at you while you are thinking about important stuff – what you had for breakfast, how to make your owner give you another one, what will be for lunch, for dinner, for supper, where to sleep today… I can still remember those furious yellow eyes.
So imagine our frustration when we decided to check the garden of the Ca' Rezzonico palace and saw a cat in the furthest corner. He was red. And I have to say give me a big red cat and I will forget about everything. Red cats are the best. Nothing in the Universe is better than a red cat. Not even chocolate. You get the idea even if you don't share it. 🙂
So there we were staring at yet another innocent creature and hesitating. And then I thought I didn't care. I wanted to come say hi to that one even if he ran away cursing. We slowly started to approach. He saw us, of course he did. He is a cat after all. It takes them a couple of days to notice that the refrigerator is gone during the renovation (though they are used to come to it everyday like 50 times a day to beg for food) but they always know when a human being with an unmistakable desire to pet them is nearing. I think there is an inbuilt alarm system that goes off with a warning. Imagine how astonished we were when he rose, stretched himself and came to us… smiling. I am sure he was smiling. Oh those moments were the best in Venice. He was so nice and communicative. He might look tough but is very sweet and gentle on the inside.

Revised version by Agrippina Vaganova (1931)
Set design based on original sketches by Orest Allegri
"In 1906, when rehearsing the production of the first version of Chopiniana performed to Glazunov's orchestration of Chopin's music, I created for Pavlova and Obukhov – my friend from the ballet school – a waltz in C Sharp Minor, which was specially orchestrated by Glazunov at our request as an addition to the suite.
The sylph – winged hope – flies into a romantic garden lit by the moon. She is followed by a young man. It was dancing in the style of Taglioni, in the style of that long-forgotten time when ballet was governed by poetry, when a dancer rose en pointe not to demonstrate the steel-like arch of her foot but in order to create the impression of lightness, barely touching the ground, something ethereal and fantastical. In this dance there is not one pirouette, not a single trick. But how poetic, how beautiful and how engaging was this duet in the air! The audience was enchanted, as was I. Pavlova made such a powerful impression on me that I wondered about staging an entire ballet in this style. And by the time her next gala performance came round I had created the ballet Les Sylphides. If, back then, she had not danced Chopin's waltz so brilliantly, so enchantingly, I would never have created this ballet."

Real Madrid, Basel & Ludogorets for Reds
Liverpool have been drawn in Group B of the UEFA Champions League along with holders Real Madrid, FC Basel and Ludogorets Razgrad.
The Reds were pitted against the holders of the competition in Thursday's draw in Monaco, and they'll also face trips to Switzerland and Bulgaria.
Madrid, who claimed their 10th European Cup with victory over city rivals Atletico in Lisbon earlier this year, last locked horns with Liverpool back in the 2008-09 campaign.
The teams met at the last 16 stage and after Yossi Benayoun's late header secured a famous 1-0 first-leg win at the Bernabeu, the Reds ran riot in the return at Anfield - powering to a 4-0 triumph in front of the Kop.
The only other competitive game between the teams came in the 1981 final in Paris when Alan Kennedy's goal sealed a 1-0 win for Bob Paisley's team.
Liverpool also have recent history with Basel after they were pitted against each other in the Champions League first group stage in 2002-03.
The first encounter ended in a 1-1 draw at Anfield, while the Reds came from three goals down at half-time to draw 3-3 at St-Jakob Park.
Basel have won the Swiss league title five times in a row.
Meanwhile, Liverpool have never faced Champions League newcomers Ludogorets Razgrad previously.
The Bulgarian title holders secured their place in the competition in incredible circumstances against Steaua Bucharest in the play-offs.
After trailing by a goal from the first leg in Romania, Wanderson netted a last-minute volley to force extra time in Razgrad.
However, they were reduced to 10 men when goalkeeper Vladislav Stoyanov was sent off in the 119th minute.
It meant centre-back Cosmin Moti was required to go in goal for the penalty shootout - and he emerged the hero, sensationally saving two spot kicks to ensure Ludogorets progressed 6-5 on penalties.
Stay tuned to Liverpoolfc.com for full details of the group schedule.

Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS)
On average, a developing baby's lungs are considered to be mature and fully functional around 35 to 36 weeks after conception. For babies born before that, breathing can be a serious challenge. Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) is the most common illness in the NICU. RDS can be mild or quite severe, but the good news is that 99% of babies with RDS survive. The babies who don't survive usually are the youngest, smallest babies born before 26 weeks of gestation.
Surfactant is a foamy substance that lines the lungs in mature babies and keeps them from collapsing, making breathing in and out easier. Premature babies lack surfactant and their lungs collapse between breaths. This makes inhaling air and exhaling carbon dioxide very difficult. The energy it takes to expand and contract the lungs can be exhausting and overwhelming for these tiny babies.
Research has shown us that the earlier a baby is born the less surfactant is likely to exist in the lungs and the more likely it is for him to develop RDS. Boys are more likely to get RDS than girls because their lungs mature more slowly. Preemies with mothers who have diabetes or with Rh blood-type incompatibilities are at greater risk for RDS because their lungs are slower to produce surfactant. Babies with mothers who have severe preeclampsia are more vulnerable to RDS because their normal lung development is disrupted. Babies born via cesarean delivery and without labor are at increased risk for RDS. This is because labor produces hormones that promote lung maturation and uterine contractions may help squeeze excess fluid from a baby's lungs, making breathing easier.
Most babies who will get RDS show symptoms within a few hours of birth. RDS usually gets worse for a couple of days and then improves as the baby starts to produce more surfactant. Treatment includes giving a dose or two of man-made surfactant and providing breathing assistance with oxygen, C-PAP or mechanical ventilation, depending on each baby's needs.
While the survival rate is extremely high, severe RDS may lead to longer-term health problems. Mechanical ventilation can be life-saving, but it is harsh. Chronic lung disease, also known as bronchopulomonary dysplasia (BPD), comes as a result of inflammation and scaring of the lungs that may result from ventilation. Children with severe RDS also have an increased likelihood of asthma.

I got "Animal Crossing City Folk" for Wii in the mail from Nintendo yesterday, along with a separate box containing the Wii Speak peripheral.
As is so often the case, I discovered something interesting in the fine print. Here's a tip: if you're buying Wii Speak, don't buy it used.
The Wii Speak peripheral is a microphone that is made to be placed above or below your TV, enabling group Internet-connected voice chat with other people who also own the peripheral. I can't tell how useful that's going to be until Multiplayer's own Tracey John and I try some "Animal Crossing" chat.
The peripheral can also be used without "Animal Crossing," just for game-free voice chat, but that requires used of the Wii Speak Channel, which will be released in December.
But there's a catch, a fine print surprise. There is a pamphlet packaged with the peripheral that includes a 16-character code, a "Wii Download Ticket Number," to be used for downloading the Wii Speak Channel. According to the pamphlet, this code "cannot be replaced by Nintendo or your retailer if it is lost or stolen."
A Nintendo rep further clarified to me that the channel won't be able to be downloaded through any other means. You won't be able to get it off the Wii Shopping Channel manually, nor would you be able to buy it. Essentially, the Wii Speak Channel will be available to new purchasers of the Wii Speak mic and that's it.
I'd imagine that anyone who gets a Wii Speak in anything other than its original packaging -- buys it used on eBay, for example -- isn't going to get a fresh code. And without the code, they won't be able to get the channel. So if you're shopping for Wii Speak, you'd best buy it new. I don't think use of a used Wii Speak mic would limit its functionality with "Animal Crossing," but I can't confirm that. Still, this isn't how most gaming peripherals like, say the "Rock Band" drums or the Wii Balance Board are restricted, so I thought it best to pass on.
And is the peripheral worth it? We'll let you know once we test it out.

People use portable glucose meters, called glucometers, to check their sugar levels. These work by analyzing a small amount of blood, usually from a fingertip. The glucometer lightly pricks your skin to obtain the blood. Meters tell you your current body sugar, but since body sugar levels change, you need to test levels often and record them.
Are you the kind of person that has a busy life from sun-up to sundown? Maybe you are just somewhat forgetful, and your glucose tests slip your mind from time to time. If this is the case, a glucose meter can really help you.
Another huge benefit of glucometers is that they have the ability not only to tell you what your current glucose levels are, but also where it was previously and possibly where it will be in the future. Trend arrows can tell you where your projected glucose will be in 1, 3, 6 or 12 hours, and how fast you will probably get to the next step.
Do you sometimes get caught up in the events of the day and realize that your sugars are getting dangerously high or low? Some of the best glucometers actually offer alerts that can notify you of this before it becomes a serious problem. This feature can be especially helpful at night when you are sleeping.
One of the best things about glucometers is that they can help you understand your body better and plan for the future. With access to trend screen views featuring graphs of your current, past and projected future glucose levels, it is easy to understand how certain lifestyle choices can impact your sugar levels.
Our System is a simple way for people looking for high performance in body glucose monitoring.This is the perfect balance of advanced technology and simplicity for easy accuracy in test results. There is no coding technology eliminates inaccuracies due to miscoding.

Today, I'm treading the scholarly sidewalks of Cambridge, Mass., speaking to students and faculty in the Regulatory Policy Program at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government. It's exciting for me to get a chance to engage with some of the best and the brightest in the field of regulatory policy. My topic: Based on CPSC's experience, do multi-member commissions give a better bang for the regulatory buck than a single administrator if that administrator uses smart regulatory tools like cost-benefit analysis and rule review? What do you think? Read the Kennedy School's story

Starslayer: The Log of the Jolly Roger was an American comic book series created by Mike Grell.
Publication history[edit]
Grell originally created Starslayer for DC Comics, but plans to publish it were halted after the mass cancellation of titles known as the DC Implosion. Instead, he offered it to Pacific Comics, who released it as a six issue series in 1982. It was originally intended as an ongoing series per Pacific Comics's publisher Bill Schanes but Grell's developing relationship with the new First Comics and previous working relationship with their editorial director Mike Gold (who had been Grell's editor at DC) swayed him to release future issues with First.[1] In August 1983 First Comics continued the series, starting with issue #7, with Grell writing and providing breakdown art with finishes by Lenin Delsol. Grell left the series after issue #8,[2] and was replaced by writer John Ostrander and Delsol as sole artist. Later contributors to the series were Tim Truman, Hilary Barta, and Tom Sutton. The final issue, #34, came out November 1985.
Issues 2 & 3 saw the introduction of Dave Stevens' Rocketeer as a back-up feature. In issue #10, the character Grimjack was introduced in the same fashion; he would later receive his own title. Another character that appeared as backup feature was Groo the Wanderer, who also later received his own title at Pacific.
In 1995 Grell released an expanded version of the original limited series through Acclaim Comics. The expanded version, titled Starslayer: The Director's Cut, ran for eight issues.[3]
Series overview[edit]
The first six issue limited series introduces the main character Torin Mac Quillon, a Celtic warrior from the time of the Roman Empire. Just before he is killed while fighting a group of Roman soldiers, he is pulled into the distant future by Tamara, a descendant of his wife after she remarried. Torin is asked to join the crew of the spaceship Jolly Roger in their fight against the oppressive regime that is ruling the Earth. Torin agrees, and he and his new shipmates successfully save the Earth's dying sun by the end of the first series.
When First Comics restarted the series, Torin and his crewmates travel throughout the galaxy and end up in Cynosure, the nexus of all realities for First Comics, and gain a crew of pirates. At some point Torin travels back to the solar system with a device that can cause a star to implode into a black hole. He uses this weapon on the sun in the course of battle to destroy his enemies. Just at the point of implosion Torin speaks the name of the Celtic goddess of death, Morrigan, effectively sacrificing the star to her, which brings her back into existence. She proclaims Torin to be her avatar and orders him to go into the galaxy and kill in her name. Torin rebels, which is the basis of the remainder of the title's run.

As a critical event in this country's history, the 228 Incident of 1947 provides Taiwanese with an opportunity to reflect on both the violence and terror of that time and injustices that continue to this day.
The wholesale slaughter -- both arbitrary and strategic -- of tens of thousands of civilians and intellectuals by the Chinese Nationalist Party's (KMT) armed forces ended an all-too-brief period in which Taiwanese freely believed that rule by "China" would be benevolent and enlightened.
The main causes of the 228 Incident were the government's corrupt and inept management, the looting of Taiwan's assets by the new administrators and the general oppression of Taiwanese people. A generation of Taiwanese came to distrust the KMT, cutting off politics from the people and elevating the most discreditable elements of society to positions of power.
Last year's 228 Hand-in-Hand Rally, which protested China's military posturing, was a milestone in Taiwan's political history. From one end of the island to the other, 2 million people formed a human chain in an affirmation of peace and democracy. The impact of the rally is thought to have tipped the presidential campaign in President Chen Shui-bian's (
Yesterday, in the face of continuing threats from Beijing, most recently manifested in its proposed "anti-secession law" (
The public is divided on the need for national independence, and therefore lacks a sense of crisis in the face of this anti-secession legislation. But the 228 Incident serves as a lesson of the bloody folly of assuming that outsiders know what is best for Taiwan.
For this reason, prior to the probable passage of the anti-secession legislation in March, the "oppose annexation, protect Taiwan" campaign is under way. This not only serves to remind Taiwanese of the consequences of the legislation, but also serves to warn China and announce to the international community that many Taiwanese do not intend to suffer unilateral determinations as to its fate.
The anti-secession legislation will more than likely be applied to Taiwanese nationals in China, and ordinary people and businesspeople may be victimized on the slightest pretext. Any statement and any action may be sufficient grounds for Taiwanese to be accused of fomenting secession.
In commemorating the 228 Incident this year, the Hand-in-Hand Taiwan Alliance's campaign represents the spirit of the new era. With the Lunar New Year direct charter flights and the bizarre 10-Point Agreement between Chen and People First Party Chairman James Soong (
The move to denounce the legislation and remind the public of China's ill will is therefore a welcome wake-up call at home, for China and for the international community.

Release date: 30th October 2015
"Digital White Labels" available 23rd October Exclusively from Juno Download
Carpainter – Brok Y EP
Brok Y // Ohayashi // Hookah
The hugely popular Japanese producer Carpainter returns to L2S! His second release for the label branches into fresh territory by utilizing a more stripped back aesthetic and using vocal snippets in a more intense way. Title track Brok Y sets the tone for the EP with insistent vocal samples, skippy beats, bouncing and stretching bass throughout. Ohayashi is more of a roller with a whistle replacing the vocal element found in the previous track and a melody and breakdown that wouldn't be out of place in a 93 warehouse track. Hookah finishes off the EP with an acidic flourish, with 303 acid lines bubbling throughout and what can only be described as melty wibbly sounds, this is one sure to appeal to fans of Acieed!

Scenario: I had my pruners in my right hand. With my left hand, I grab dried sedum flower stems and pull. Hard. Said sedum didn't come out of the ground. My hand slipped off them and into the pruning shears. I impaled my wrist right below the palm, smack dab in the middle. Can you say OUCHIE?!?
I had a puncture wound that didn't bleed right away, but then it did... and did some more! That put an end to cleaning the flower bed for the rest of the day. Boy, was it tender and sore. I'm just glad my wrist didn't slam any harder into the pruner. The first thing I thought was that I could've cut a vein!
Over the past couple weeks, I've been doing some updating around The Homestead. First up is some new lighting fixtures that Menards had on sale: Two for $19. Normally, I would've gotten light fixtures at the Habitat for Humanity store, but I don't think I could beat the price.
The glass parts are a PITA to keep clean.
Next, the BF and I (OK, he did most of it. LOL) replaced my kitchen sink faucet. I had to fiddle with my previous faucet to make sure it didn't drip, drip, drip after each use.
I didn't know there was so much hard water scale on the underside. Nasty. Who knows how old the old faucet was!
I just happened upon one that was on clearance for $100 OFF! For $59, I now have this beautiful Price Pfister stainless steel faucet:
Not only do I have a new high arch faucet, I also have a sprayer... which I didn't have before. The nice thing about it is that it comes with a lifetime warranty. Big THANK YOU goes to the BF for installation.
I now know the trepidation of making that first cut on Hardanger stitching! Yikes!! I bit the bullet and did it, though. Apparently, I did it correctly since the Earth didn't shatter or anything like that.
I finished up the stitching on Simply Elegant scissor case, and started the beading. I may just keep working on it until it's done since I'm soooo close anyway. Then I'll be back to working on JG.
Until next time,

From the Vice-Chancellor
A very warm welcome to the University of Canberra!
Nestled in the nation's capital, we are a young university with a bold vision. Our Strategic Plan outlines our ambitious objectives as we aim to be amongst Australia's most innovative tertiary institutions, continue our ascent in world rankings, and extend our regional, national and international reach.
The QS World University Rankings and Times Higher Education World University Rankings place the University of Canberra in the top four per cent of universities worldwide, and among the top 100 universities in the world under the age of 50. This remarkable achievement for such a young institution wouldn't have been possible without the hard work of our students and our academic and professional staff.
The University's teaching is enriched by our research culture that focuses on outcomes that lead to early improvements in the world around us. The two together reflect our dynamic, innovative and collaborative intellectual environment.
The University's strong emphasis on work integrated learning gives our nearly 17,000 students valuable experience to develop key skills in the workplace. Our graduates are in high demand and many of our more than 77,000 alumni occupy senior positions in public and private enterprise in Australia and around the world.
Our vibrant, friendly campus is home to a wide array of cafés, eateries and fitness facilities. The natural park-like environment teems with native birds and a small mob of kangaroos. We also play host to the famous touring music festival – Groovin' the Moo.
We have embarked on a comprehensive development plan that will see our campus transform into an integrated learning community where academics, students and the public come together in a seamless knowledge-sharing space. Comprising four interconnected precincts – health, sports, innovation and residential – the project is already coming to life with the opening of a multi-service Health Hub and the University's Sporting Commons, including the Research Institute for Sport and Exercise.
The construction of the new University of Canberra Public Hospital – a central facility for our health sciences, teaching and research – is underway. Our ties with the ACT Brumbies Super Rugby team, the UC Vikings and Special Olympics ACT are being further strengthened. A state-of-the-art, 496-bed new student residence will open its doors in 2017. Further developments in the health, residential and innovation district are being planned.
These rapidly expanding facilities are delivering an integrated teaching and research environment, providing exciting new avenues for the University to serve its community.
I invite you to explore our accomplishments to date, to learn more about our courses, our people, our campus, and most importantly our vision and plans for the future.
I hope you like what you see. I invite you to join us on our exciting journey and I look forward to welcoming you to the University of Canberra family.

Jessica Alba has advised new mother Beyonce to sell pictures of her baby daughter to the press in a bid to quell the huge interest in snaps of the tot.
The Sin City star struck a deal with a magazine to publish pictures of her daughter Honor after her birth in 2008 to prevent a surge in attention from the paparazzi.
Jessica Alba, who put the fee aside for the youngster's future, has now urged the Crazy In Love superstar to follow her lead so she can "control" the rush for the first snap of her own child, baby Blue who was born earlier this month (Jan12).
She tells CNN, "For our family, we just wanted to control the experience. We put the money that the picture made into a bank account for Honor to do whatever she wants to do with.
"It's her picture, it's her birth, and we didn't want it to be like a weird thing when we were walking out of the house for the first time."

global focus microscope
Tuberculosis (TB) and malaria are most commonly found in developing countries -- the African region carries the greatest proportion of TB cases per population each year and over 80 percent of the world's malaria cases and deaths. In these low-resource settings, bright-field microscopy analyzes sputum samples to diagnosis these potentially deadly infections. Though fluorescence microscopy is much faster and more sensitive than bright-field microscopy in disease detection, these sophisticated technologies are not available in developing countries due to their prohibitive cost.
The Global Focus Microscope is a portable, battery-powered, inverted bright field and fluorescence microscope with up to 1,000x magnification for detection of tuberculosis and malaria for less than 1/10th the cost of conventional fluorescence microscopes. The initial product concept and design was conceived by Andrew Miller of Rice University. The GFM incorporates market-available objective lenses, low-cost fluorescence filters on commercial flashlights, and a novel light path, originally developed in the 1920's. The resulting images can be captured and transmitted with a smart phone device.
3rd Stone Design Inc. worked with the inventors of the product concept to refine the parts design, the mechanical and optical engineering, and the manufacturing strategy. After successive rounds of prototyping, a beta unit run of 30 devices was produced for extensive field testing and evaluation. These devices won praise from clinicians and lab managers alike for the promise it holds in expanding TB detection at the point-of-care when immediate steps can be taken to address the presence of an infection.

There are a lot of things going on in my life right now that I could complain about: it's a rainy day, with plans thwarted, mini-stresses, and plenty of inconveniences that should make me grumpy. But when I woke up this morning, I felt inexplicably happy and at peace. Maybe because it is Friday, I feel more like celebrating than grousing. I have many reasons to feel blessed and thinking of those blessings seems to me like a good way to start the weekend. So, instead of the rain outside today, I take a picture of a sunflower rising.
Today I must focus on finishing my theory chapter of my dissertation. I've set a deadline for myself to finish it by Sunday night so I can give it and my Intro chapter (which is already more or less complete) to my committee. Such relief it will be to have that finished, because once it is complete, I'll be doing data entry for a (long) while. While that probably sounds tedious–and it is–it'll be a nice break from the craziness that has been this past year. Plus, it will also give me the requisite mental space for getting back to my manuscript in the evenings. One more set of revisions await completion, and once those are ready, I can send my manuscript off to agents and publishers!
On Saturday, I'm holding a Thank You BBQ for my students and I'm really looking forward to it. They've done fantastic work this quarter as research assistants and they deserve a little party in their honor. Plus, I really do enjoy my students as people. I'm looking forward to an opportunity to know them better as individuals, and let my hair down so to speak, so they can know me better too. At this stage in their careers, they should know I'm rooting for them and happy to support them any way I can.
I have an awesome, amazing, wonderful husband who brings me joy and giggles every day. This little slice of bliss has become even more important than I imagined. It gives me a safe foundation where when everything else in my life goes to sh*t, there is a space where I can come home and say, "Life isn't so bad".
I have amazing friends. Even though almost all of them are far away–and one is due to leave soon and another is going halfway around the world!–they are all incredible people to know and love. I feel extremely happy for them as they embark on their new journeys and I feel lucky to have them in my life. I'm looking forward to the celebrations in their honor, bitter-sweet though they may be.
Now that the data collection phase of my research is done, I can work almost entirely at home. This makes my little heart go pitter-pat. Working at home is the shiz-nit because you can wear whatever you want.
And last but not least, it's FRIDAY and I'm just about to enjoy a good cup of coffee. Sounds like bliss to me.
