Extension methods, if used carefully, can seamlessly extend the API in a type-safe way. There are several utility functions that are prime candidates for this type of re-factoring. The readability gains in the client code are quite significant. Any extension methods will need to be isolated with {{#ifdef NET_3_5 || MONO}} since this is a new feature for the .NET platform.

5 easy steps to define target audience
Knowing your customer makes it easy to focus your marketing strategy. Who exactly are you selling to? Why should they care? How are you solving their problems? By being able to define target audience you will maximize your marketing efforts and cut waste.
Follow these five steps to define target audience. Come up with a clear picture of what your ideal customer looks like. Your business will benefit from knowing who you are marketing to.
Step 1
Understand the problem that you solve
What problems are you solving with your product or service and who has these problems. By getting clear in this first step, you will start to narrow down the audience you are addressing.
Step 2
Where are they?
Look into their exact demographics. How old are they, where do they live, what income they generate, are they married, what nationality / race. Complete all demographics data you can find out about your target audience.
Step 3
What do they like and dislike
Now let's dive deeper into what makes up your target audience. What do they like and dislike, what interests do they have, values, attitudes, hobbies, behavior, lifestyle. This will paint a better picture of whom you are dealing with. Marketers call these characteristics Psychographics. Everything you can find out about your audience that's on the more personal level will go here.
Step 4
Where can you find them
Now that you know whom you are dealing with, you need to find out where to find them online and offline. These are the so-called technographics. Are they on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat. Do they consume information online or offline. Where else can you find them. What newspapers, magazines, blogs do they read.
Step 5
Your Ideal Customer
I recommend that once you have a clear picture of whom your target audience is, take it a step further and develop your ideal customer. If you can have a visual picture in your mind of who exactly you are talking to in your communications, you will always stay on track with your messages.
I like this article from Marketing Donut including a few more tips on how to develop your target audience.

New Haven man sentenced to 6 years for acid attack
NEW HAVEN — A New Haven man who police say threw acid at a woman who refused to marry him has been sentenced to six years in prison.
The New Haven Register reports 52-year-old Derek Rawls was sentenced Thursday after earlier pleading guilty to first-degree assault and violating a protective order.
The attack happened in January 2016. A police report said Rawls turned off the water in the woman's apartment before he threw acid on her so she could not wash it off. She was treated at a hospital for third-degree burns on her face, neck and chest and was permanently scarred.
She said in a statement read in court that her scars "will remain a reminder of that terrible day forever."
Rawls declined to make a statement during the hearing.

Land and Climate
Natural Regions
Germany's generally moderate climate is transitional between a maritime climate in the northwest and a continental climate in the east. Air masses from the Atlantic Ocean and the North Sea bring moderate temperatures in winter and cool temperatures in summer to much of western and northwestern Germany. They also bring plentiful moisture.
Cologne, in the west, has an average January temperature of 36 °F (2 °C) and an average July temperature of 64 °F…

Lindsay Lohan Begging To Star In Tina Fey's 'Mean Girls' Musical?
Tina Fey is currently working on a stage adaptation of Mean Girls, and now a tabloid claims the film's star, Lindsay Lohan, is begging for a role in the upcoming musical. Gossip Cop looked into the report. See what we found out here!
Fey, who wrote and co-starred in the 2004 teen comedy, is adapting her own screenplay into a musical version that's scheduled to premiere this October at the National Theatre in Washington, D.C. On the heels of that news, the National Enquirer published an article this week claiming Lohan is gunning to appear in the stage production as schoolteacher Ms. Norbury, the character played by Fey in the movie.
The magazine goes on to quote a supposed insider as saying that the former "Saturday Night Live" star was "dumbstruck" by Lohan's plea, and allegedly told another producer, "Even if we could get Lindsay to show up on time for live performances, I can't even begin to picture her playing me!" Was the tabloid tapping Fey's phone when it got that very pointed quotation? Or was one of its reporters hiding in Fey's kitchen garbage and overheard it?
Gossip Cop checked in with a source close to Fey, who dismissed the article as untrue. Additionally, a rep for Lohan exclusively tells us the tabloid's story is entirely "false," and the actress never petitioned for a role in the Mean Girls musical. In fact, this isn't the first time the Enquirer has published fake news around the hit movie. Gossip Cop recently busted the magazine for falsely claiming that Fey was planning a big-screen Mean Girls sequel without Lohan. This latest report about the musical adaptation is equally bogus.

MatrixCare ePrescribing Using NCPDP Standard Meets Nov. 1 CMS Requirements
BLOOMINGTON, MN--(Marketwired - December 02, 2014) - MatrixCare, the industry leading EHR for long-term care and senior living providers, has been made approvable for ePrescription transmission by the Ohio Board of Pharmacy; specifically for the use of its integration with Omnicare pharmacies, and FrameworkLTC and QS1 pharmacy software systems.
The MatrixCare ePrescribing solution is compliant with the November 1, 2014 CMS enforcement of the use of NCPDP 10.6 SCRIPT standard for the electronic transmission of long-term care prescriptions. In fact, MatrixCare transmits more NCPDP compliant prescription messages than all other LTPAC EHR vendors combined. This statistic, as confirmed by MatrixCare partners, is critical given that MatrixCare currently has live NCPDP-based integrations with pharmacies and pharmacy software systems servicing over 80% of the long-term care market.
John Damgaard, MatrixCare President and CEO, commented, "MatrixCare is pleased to have successfully completed the rigorous process for approval by the Ohio Board of Pharmacy. MatrixCare is one of the very few LTPAC EHR products to have had NCPDP compliant messaging in production well before the November 1, 2014 enforcement deadline."
MatrixCare ePrescribing provides bi-directional prescription data exchange with pharmacy systems, including refill functionality. MatrixCare ePrescribing provides significant and quantifiable value to both LTPAC facilities and pharmacies. ePrescribing improves the quality of service that LTC pharmacies provide by streamlining operations, decreases both facility and pharmacy costs, eliminates manual faxing, and greatly reduces the potential for medication errors.
LTPAC providers and pharmacy partners can contact MatrixCare at firstname.lastname@example.com for more information about our medication management program.

Niagara Falls State Park – a Pictorial Journey
Niagara Falls State Park is the destination of over eight million visitors each year. More people visit Niagara Falls a year then Yosemite National Park and the Grand Canyon combined.
Established in 1885, Niagara Falls State Park is the oldest state park in the United States. The park itself features far more than just the three Falls that make up Niagara Falls. The architecture of the park was designed by Frederick Law Olmstead – he also designed Central Park in New York City.
The Park includes the Falls, the rapids, the parkland on the mainland from south of First Street all the way up to the Niagara Gorge Discovery Center, Goat Island, Green Island, Bird Island, Luna Island, the Three Sisters Islands – Asmith, Angelina, and Celinda Eliza, and dozens of tiny Islets that can be found among the rapids of the Niagara River. The Park also features a visitor's center, an IMAX movie, the Maid of the Mist boat ride, and the Cave of the Winds; along with eating and souvenir establishments.
The park was designed to maintain as much green space as possible allowing indigenous flora, fauna, and animals to thrive in their natural habitat. Today the park is home to hundreds of species of plant and animal life.
The mainland section of the park also features Prospect Point and the Maid of the Mist boat ride where visitors can get a wet but close up view of all three of the Falls – the American, Bridal Veil, and Horseshoe Fall (sometimes also called the Canadian Falls because it is the only one of the Falls that touches Canadian soil).
A pair of pedestrian bridges connects the mainland to Green and Goat Islands. The bridges themselves offer an impressive view of the Rapids as they run to the Falls.
While the water is only three to four feet deep in the rapids, they run some 30 miles per hour and on the scale that rates rapids around the world from one to five; the rapids in the Niagara River are rated a six!
Unlike Greenland, Green Island is a green space with only a few park benches for visitors to sit and admire the view. Goat Island is one half mile long and a quarter mile wide. Along with the the Cave of the Winds attraction, Goat Island has access to Terapin Point
where visitors can get a close look at the Horseshoe Falls, Luna Island, and the Three Sisters Islands.
A view of the Cave of the Winds from the Maid of the Mist.
Luna Island is a small island that can be reached via a path along the river or a stairway on Goat Island. Luna Island lies between the American and Bridal Veil Falls allowing visitors a very close up view as the water tumbles 175 feet down to the river gorge.
The Three Sisters Islands are a daytime visit only since there is no lighting on any of the tiny islets. A favourite spot for wedding party photographs, the Three Sisters are connected by walking bridges and give visitors a view of the Niagara on both the American and Canadian sides from before the rapids begin – called the point of no return. The bridge looking structure in the distance off the third island is the hydroelectric power plant that provides electricity to the area.
Niagara Falls State Park has much more to offer than just a view of the water as it tumbles hundreds of thousands of gallons of water over The Falls every second. The hundreds of views are breathtaking in their own right and offer numerous opportunities for some memorable photographs…even in winter.

What happens when a teacher has a great teaching method?
What if science breakthroughs weren't shared with the world?
Great teaching today is equivalent to a scientist discovering DNA and only sharing it with themselves. Not sharing a great teaching method could be just as harmful.
Fred Wilson talks about the atomic unit for many services that have transformed industries.
In Twitter, the atomic unit is the tweet
In SoundCloud, the atomic unit is the sound
In Tumblr, the atomic unit is the post
In Kickstarter, the atomic unit is the project
In Instagram, the atomic unit is the photo
In LinkedIn, the atomic unit is the resume
In Foursquare, the atomic unit is the checkin
In Gmail the atomic unit is the email, in Gcal the atomic unit is the appointment
In Dropbox, the atomic unit is the file
What is the atomic unit for a great teaching method?
Until educators can have an atomic unit for teaching that can be valued — and I mean in the millions — great teaching methods won't be shared.
Something is broken in teaching if teachers are coming up with ideas alone and consistently reinventing the wheel over and over again.
Why? Today, the world doesn't laude teachers when they have great ideas.
– We have genius engineers.
– We have genius scientists.
– We have genius entrepreneurs.
– We have genius doctors.
We do have genius teachers — but their genius is locked up in a single classroom, in a single school, benefiting very few.
We need the new atomic unit for great teaching methods that will inherently laude teachers in the same demeanor.
You can post a tweet, and instantly millions of people can retweet it.
Why can't you share a teaching method that works? If you could, millions would benefit.

According to a pie chart I'm holding, a lot of you are nerds. And if the word "pie" just sent a rumble through your bloated paunch clad in a Halo t-shirt you haven't washed in three months, you've confirmed my theory. So here's the deal: I know that a lot of you have trouble getting dates. You walk up to a girl at a party but she gives you a look like a TV tuned to a dead channel and you'd be needing some kuang grade mark eleven crap to hack through that ice so you run away. You probably don't even think about dating much anymore. You probably just see it as a distant solar flare on a horizon of Twinkies and Mountain Dew bottles and fat.
Well fortunately I'm here to help. Because a website said they'd pay me to, I've agreed to offer my valuable dating advice. What are my qualifications? Well, unlike most of you I've have sex. Sort of. I once had a girlfriend who let me watch her use a vibrator she bought with the weekly stipend I paid her for going out with me, so depending on your definition of sex – if it's a female orgasm caused by a penis-shaped object provided by a guy – then I've had sex.

Baby Bottle Boomerang...
* 2015 Distribution Date: Sunday, January 18th
* 2015 Collection Date: Sunday, February 1st
The Baby Bottle Fundraiser is very simple to host in just two easy steps...
1. Publicize it enthusiastically before and during the campaign
2. Make the bottles conveniently available to your congregation on the day of distribution (Sanctity of Human Life Sunday)
Families are to take the bottles home, fill them with a check, cash or coins, and return them to the church on the assigned Sunday.
The focus surrounds the Sanctity of Human Life Sunday, a day to celebrate the intrinsic value of all human life. This important day also provides an opportunity for pregnancy centers to share about the work they do to bring life-affirming resources to their communities and to empower women and men to choose life for their unborn children. Supporters may designate a memorial or honorarium gift, with gift recognition card being distributed to the person of their choice, telling them of the gift of life they have made in their honor.
The average bottle "count" needed is 25% of your total church membership.

Do you know someone who is feeling suicidal? Does someone you love want to end their life? What can you say? What can you do? How can you help them?
How Can I Help Someone Who Is Suicidal?
If someone you know is struggling with suicidal thoughts, there are some simple—but profound—things you can do to help. Click on the video below to hear the inspired advice of Andrea Hood, a suicide prevention coordinator for the state of Utah. In this interview, Andrea shares some sage advice on preventing suicide. Scroll down below to see a full transcript of the video.
Learn more about the Utah Suicide Prevention Coalition by clicking HERE. Or check out all these other videos from Andrea Hood: How Do I KNOW If Someone Is Suicidal?, The #1 Way to Prevent Suicidal Thoughts, What Do I Do If My Child Is Suicidal?, and How to STOP Thoughts of Suicide.
Transcript of How Can I Help Someone Who Is Suicidal?:
So, once you know that someone is having thoughts of suicide—you know—you've asked them directly or they've just come out and said it to you, there's kind of that moment of: "Oh no. What do I do next? What do I say?" And so, what I've found is that, it really is helpful, first, to just kind of acknowledge how much courage it took for that person to be honest with you. Just say: "Thank you for telling me that. That must take a lot of courage to come out with something like that and be honest."
Sit With Them
And also, you can kind of just sit with them for a moment and let them know that you didn't realize that they were in that much pain. And just kind of acknowledge the pain that they're in, acknowledge their honesty, and then give them a chance to tell you more about it—instead of jumping the gun and saying: "Okay, I can fix this, you know, I have all these strategies! Here's my ten step plan to save your life!" That is not what we want to do. So slow down, take a breath, and get more information about how they got there, how long this has been going on, how—you know—if they have a plan and kind of how serious they are about it and whether they've started making steps towards that plan.
And so, you want to ask some questions around, you know: "Have you thought about how you would take your life?" And "How did you get here? What's been going on with you?" Just kind of some questions like that to get them talking so you get more information about it.
Get Connected With Others
And then, it's very important to get them connected to someone, right? So, this is too much for you, as, you know, a friend, a teacher, or a family member—it's too much for you to do by yourself. So, really you want to share this with somebody else and encourage them very strongly, in no uncertain terms, that we're not going to be the only—the only people that are talking about this, right? There needs to be more than just me involved, if they haven't talked to anyone else. It's important to get a family member, or a friend involved, and a professional contact involved—like a therapist.
National Suicide Prevention Lifeline
So, a great resource for that is the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline and that's 1-800-273-TALK (or 8255). If you call that lifeline, you'll be connected with someone who can do an evaluation and they can give you, kind of next steps—"What do we do?"—because, at this point, you don't know if that person really is safe to be left alone, whether they need to go to the emergency department, whether they just need to make that appointment with the therapist as soon as possible—it's kind of like: "What do we do now?" And so, it's really good to have that professional consultation available to you 24/7 so that you can kind of figure out what do we do next and how do I keep this person safe.
MY3 App | Create a Safety Plan
Another great resource would be an app called MY3 and you can download that and it'll walk you through how to make a safety plan with that person. And so, you can go through: "What do you do when you're having thoughts about suicide? And how can you take care of yourself?" And it's really an empowering process about you have certain coping skills already—social supports, professional resources available to you, and reasons for living whether they're readily available or apparent to you right now or not, you know, there are those reasons for living there. And so, once you kind of list those thing out, you're ready for when the next crisis occurs to kind of be empowered to deal with it better on your own. And that really is—because thoughts of suicide are not generally a one-time thing, right? And so, you want to prepared to deal with them on an ongoing basis until, you know, they resolve or until you get the right help to where they're not as big of an issue anymore.
Create a Safe Home Environment
One other thing to keep in mind, if you're trying to help someone who's at risk of suicide—it can be life-saving, in and of itself, to create a safe home environment. So, asking them about firearms and medications may seem kind of awkward, kind of intrusive, it's difficult to do, but really that, by itself can save a life because if someone has time and distance between them and a means of taking their life then they're less likely to act impulsively, when those thoughts come up. And so, really, it's proven effective, you know, over and over again that creating a safe environment works and it's a simple thing you can do to save a life.
Find Reasons for Living
One additional, important thing that you can do, when you're trying to help someone who is having thoughts of suicide is to get them to talk about their reasons for living. Reasons for living are hard because obviously that person, you know, is in a really dark place and they're not readily seeing those reasons for living, but we know from research that most people who are having thoughts of suicide are ambivalent, up until the time they take the action, or they make an attempt. They're going back and forth, they're really distressed because there is a part of them that wants to live. They just want the pain that they're in to end—or they want to find a solution to a problem that doesn't seem to have any solution.
And so, if we can, you know, start asking questions about things like: important people in their lives, or, you know, goals that they want to accomplish, or things that have brought them purpose or joy in the past, and maybe, you know, get them talking about what those reasons for living could be in the future. The research shows that that's a really powerful way to change their mood state, to help them move through that point of crisis and have hope again. And so really, it's a simple thing, but it's a really powerful thing.
Show Them You Care
So, honestly, a part of it is just showing that person that you care about them. Just, you know, if they've disclosed this really personal, important thing to you—it's important to take the time to listen to them without becoming over emotional yourself and just be there, with them, physically for as long as it takes and sometimes that's the most powerful thing you can do—is just be a physical presence. Spend time with them. Check up on them after they've had the opportunity to get help after the immediate crisis is resolved, because it shows that you still care and often it takes some time, and some trial and error to find help if you're having issues with a mental health condition, or if you're in a crisis. It's not going to be resolved immediately, and so checking in on that person is really important.

Do I? I do. One of the tricks of engaging ones reader, is to leave them hanging, but this time, this time I think it's best just to get it out there straight out. My name is Harriet and I have a serious paint sample pot habit. Enough about me though – perhaps you have one too?
I was reminiscing about all things '90s just recently (if any of you have seen that Facebook post about 'guess which band I HAVEN'T SEEN from this list of ten, that is how it began), and put on some of my 7inch singles (we've been unpacking the garage. Work in progress… work in progress. There are just TOO. MANY. DISTRACTIONS), and it got me thinking. Mostly about the music press and wasted Maths lessons swinging on my chair reading Melody Maker. Those were good days.
{As an aside to my reminiscing of gigs-from-my-youth (but since you mention it, guess which of these I haven't seen!)
1) Blur
2) One Direction
3) Sleeper
4) Elastica
5) Suede
6) Chemical Brothers
7) Oasis
8) The Divine Comedy
9) Pulp
10) Radiohead }
… I did think back to all those quizzes that I used to do in magazines. The utterly mindless ones that would tell me whether I was a typical Cancerian, whether he really fancied me, and, of course, most importantly of all WHY DID I WEAR A CROCHETED CARDIGAN AND CLOGS*
*there wasn't a quiz for that, it's just me pondering some of my more suspect sartorial choices. There were a few.
These quizzes were, by and large, just a bit of fun. Like all sorts of things from my early teenage years, like trying to smoke tea in Kelsey Park . Wearing the aforementioned clogs. Trying to be cool by wearing my Mum's '70s sheepskin coat. But now, at the ripe of old age of 36, I found myself recently doing a quiz again. To decide who to vote for.
This quiz was somewhat more complex than the old 'score 1 point for all a's you replied, 2 for b's etc… etc… ' and I suspect fed into algorithms that will (in turn) be responsible for The Facebook popping up news stories that reinforce my politics. Anyway, I should vote for the SNP. Well, not necessarily vote for them, but that's with whom my personal views on life etc…are most closely aligned politically. I think that might be useful were I not living significantly too far south for this to be an issue. I will always vote, proudly, but this time round, it's a funny one. Not funny ha ha, just funny despairing really.
I've digressed. This post is actually not about politics, nor my bad fashion choices from years gone by. Whilst clearing the house and garage out today, I started to pile up my paint sample pots in one area. And it appears I have a problem. A very large, sample pot problem.
Paint is difficult isn't it? There isn't just a plain and simple white (really, I had to go to a trade centre to get the specific shade of white right when we left our rental flat… the white I had bought off the shelf was too yellow, but the white they had used only came in 2.5litre tins… logically you might think that white I have 2.459ml left of would have to be perfect for my house… but let me tell you it's not all right at all).
I first discovered I had a problem in 1999 when I lived in my first non-Halls home at University. A put up a lot of samples on that wall, settling on a terracotta. Over the years, my habit has become more problematic. I spent £42 on samples for one red (not a horrible red, a pinky red, Old Wine it was called in the end) feature wall in my old house. It was the perfect colour, which I then painted over in Elephant's Breath on a whim. I hadn't spent £42 on tester pots that time (just the paint) and it was a mistake. Huge. It was never the right grey for that room. I tried to cut corners. It was the wrong thing to do.
As we approach sorting out colour schemes for our home, which I think will mostly be along the achromatic theme (that is absence of colour, so greys, whites, blacks etc… look at me getting with the designery lingo) I still manage to have accumulated a not insignificant samples of, well white paint. And grey paint. I've put them up around the house, but still can't make my mind up. See the textured wallpapers that we are yet to strip, do not make the colour look the same as the colour on a flat newly plastered wall. So I cannot choose. Or perhaps… perhaps I just haven't found the right one yet….
But is it just me that has a problem? Or is the sample pot issue bigger than I realise? And, genuinely, CAN you ever have too many sample pots and swatches on the wall? Really? Isn't it best to make the right decision rather than trust that 'it's Farrow and Ball so will automatically look gorgeous' Elephant Breath clanger that I did?
But in any case, I have devised a quiz to determine whether you too have a sample pot problem. I was going to put this onto a brilliantly designed designery thing, but I've managed to keep it briefer than even I thought possible.
In short: Do you buy more than three sample pots when decorating a room?
NO? Repent at leisure. Repent at leisure.
YES? You have a problem. Join. The. Club.

Love Like Jesus
So it had been nearly 3 weeks since dad has went to the hospital. He was transported via helicopter to the hospital because of heart failure due to too many drugs, basically an overdose. While admitted he was intubated because he couldn't breathe on his own and while there, had two heart attacks, went into cardiac arrest (was dead for 8 min) and a stroke! I have been up there everyday... And everything between us had been great; he only made me cry once! He was also very confused too so it wasn't intentional. Our relationship is not a strong one, he typically said very hurtful things while under the influence, but this time he had changed. Or so I thought.
The Dr came in one day and told me very seriously to remove every bit of alcohol from his home including mouthwash and cough syrup. In front of my father. Up to that point I had not known that dad was admitted to the hospital with a high blood alcohol level on top of the copious amounts of drugs in his system. I was so very hurt... And angry... A very unpleasant, deep down gut wrenching feeling. Much to my dismay while calling my side kick and my support, my sister, Shannon to inform her of his drinking habits she already knew and she informed me that just the previous night he said if we go out to Juicy Tails that he would be having a few beers... WHAT?! You have got to be kidding me!! When dad came back from therapy I was so upset I didn't even know what to say to him. Knowing I was upset, he brought it up... Claiming he didn't know he wasn't suppose drinking and I quickly called his dishonesty because I was there 6 years ago with the dr telling him he couldn't or he would die. Then he claimed they changed their mind. I expressed how upset I was that he had been lying and was refusing to get rid of the alcohol in the house. After he attempted to switch the attention to me and argue, I left. In. Tears. Uncontrollable. Sobbing.
Now, I am able to share this, without the fear of embarrassing my father, I believe he has made things right with Jesus and is with Him today in paradise. I am no different than my dad. I have sins I too am enslaved by that I just can't seem to give wholly to God. I am a work in progress. As is many of you, but, good news... God has promised to continue the good work in us until it is finally finished.
And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue His work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns. - Philippians 1:6
This image was not of my fathers service but a dear friend of mine who just recently lost her father. I had the honor and privilege of documenting this for them. I believe that God orchestrated this, He spoke to me that day through his children. I will never forget this. This day, we celebrated God completing the good work in a man set apart. His legacy will continue on for many, many years. God Bless this family as they start this journey. Please pray for them.

After a busy one last weekend, this weekend we decided to do nothing. To veg out. To sloth.
On Friday we booked our flights home for Christmas which is super exciting! A few glasses of celebratory vino followed…
On Saturday I did the groceries and picked up these beautiful peonies. I couldn't resist!
On Saturday night we went out for pizza at Tinderbox on James St in the Valley. We shared nduja arancini to start, and followed it up with a classic tomato mozzarella and basil pizza – bene!
I spent most of Sunday baking. For lunch I made roasted vine tomato soup with pesto grilled cheese sandwiches. Perfect for a chilly Sunday!
We also made mountains of mini sausage rolls which somehow disappeared before I could snap them…
Sunday afternoons are made for baking – enter this chocolatey beast of a loaf.
Soooo gooey and squishy and melty – check out the recipe here!
Then I jumped into my pj's and into bed! Sometimes quiet weekends are the best ☺

All throughout college and grad school, JSTOR was my go-to for finding scholarly articles for research papers and presentations. Ever since I graduated and lost access to my college JSTOR account, I have wished for access to the well curated journals that JSTOR provides.
Luckily, JSTOR has announced a new, experimental beta program called Register & Read that allows individual users to access articles online. Register & Read includes approximately 1,200 journals from more than 700 publishers, a portion of the many journals available to paying JSTOR members. Through Register & Read, you can access 3 articles at a time, for a mandated period of 14 days each.

SU's Raley Earns ABE Theatre Award
SALISBURY, MD---The Lehigh Valley Press of Bethlehem, PA, recently announced John Raley, scenic designer in Salisbury University's Music, Theatre and Dance Department, as the recipient of an ABE Award for Scenic Design.
Raley earned the recognition for his work in the Muhlenberg Summer Music Theatre's production of Hair.
For the musical, Raley designed "a four-level scaffold festooned with elements of an American flag and the Statue of Liberty, except the crown, torch and head [were] disconnected, much like the era in which the musical takes place," said Valley Press theatre critic Paul Willistein, who selected the publication's 12th annual ABE Award winners.
("ABE" stands for Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton, the region the paper covers.)
Hair, Galt MacDermot, James Rado and Jerome Ragni's celebration of 1960s counterculture, was staged at Allentown's Muhlenberg College last June and July in celebration of the popular rock musical's 50th anniversary.
Directed by James Peck, with musical direction by Ed Bara, additional designers included Samuel Antonio Reyes (choreography), Lex Gurst (costumes), Curtis Dretsch (lighting) and Phil Ingle (sound).

Park Bo Young Is Envious of Han Ye Seul's Glamorous Beauty
Though Park Bo Young is known for her cute looks, she said she is more envious of Han Ye Seul's dazzling beauty.
On the episode of KBS2's "Entertainment Weekly" aired on November 21, Park Bo Young appears on the "Guerrilla Date" to promote her new movie "You Call it Passion."
When clips from her past are uncovered, Park Bo Young says, "My looks aren't very glamorous."
"I love fancy and urban looks, just like Han Ye Seul," she adds.
Meanwhile, when asked about her ideal man, she answers, "A considerate and kind-hearted man."

Injectable fillers reverse the signs of aging, such as wrinkles and facial lines, by adding structure and volume to sagging facial skin and making it firm again. Restylane® and Juvederm® are some injectable fillers Dr. Doezie uses. Another is hyaluronic acid, a natural complex sugar found in all living cells, and one of the major components of the dermis connective tissue matrix, along with collagen and elastin.
Hyaluronic Acid retains water like a sponge and can soak up liquid that is more than 1000 times its weight. This helps to attract and maintain water, hydrating the skin and increasing its volume and density by bringing sunken skin back up to the surface. When administered by a trained healthcare professional, the process works wonders.
Restylane® is the original Hyaluronic Acid filler with a proven track record of successfully correcting facial lines and augmentating the lips. Juvederm®, however, lasts longer. Produced through Hylacross technology, Juvederm® creates a high degree of cross-linking and lasts for up to 6 months or longer. Hylacross technology results in a smooth consistency gel, which is a primary factor in the long-lasting, smooth, natural look and feel that is characteristic of Juvederm® wrinkle correction. There are two versions of Juvederm®. Juvederm® Ultra injectable gel is made for versatility in contouring and creates volume for wrinkles, folds, and lips; Juvederm® Ultra Plus is a robust formulation that provides volume and corrects deeper wrinkles and folds. Perlane is a new variant of Restylane® which also facilitates volumizing and correction of deeper folds and wrinkles just the way Juvederm® Ultra Plus does. Dr. Doezie will decide which is most suitable for the patient.
Discussing advantages and risks with the attending physician prior to any procedure is advisable. A filler treatment is done under anesthesia that may be localized or general. The doctor will also need to evaluate the facial skin, muscles, underlying bone, medical history, drug allergies, anatomy, lifestyle, and the patient's cosmetic requirements before going ahead with the process and to decide on the type of filler that will suit the patient's needs. Postoperative recovery from bruising may take some time and require adequate care and rest as per medical advice.
As with any other surgical procedure, soft-tissue injectable fillers may have complications and risks, though these are rare and minor. Common risks associated with injectable collagen are allergic reactions, redness, itching, swelling, infection, and scaring. Injectable fat may cause infection. Other fillers such as Fibril and Grotex pose minor risks.
The effect of the hyaloronic acid is temporary, about 6 months. The length and nature of results depends on age, genetic make-up, lifestyle, and skin quality.
Face wrinkles appear in the form of the nasolabial fold, the line that stretches from the mouth to the nose often referred to as "parenthesis". Earlier, Collagen was the preferred method to correct these. This was generally bothersome as it required allergy tests and a waiting period of a month or more as it was made from animal fat. New products made from a material called hyaluronic acid such as Juvederm® or Restylane® have cut the testing and waiting time with better results and Collagen is now considered outdated.
Juvederm® and Restylane® are injectable gels that work for both the lips and face when injected under the skin. For the lips, they provide a little extra volume to supplement lips that become thin with age, and can also add definition to the lip border. On the face, they help fill the folds and smooth wrinkles.
Injectable filler treatment is becoming more and more affordable. The cost of injectable fillers will vary based on the type of product chosen and the number of units needed. Dr. Doezie will determine your exact quote at the time of your consultation.
Learn more about injectable fillers and schedule an appointment with Dr. Doezie at Mission Plastic Surgery.

Two new SSD lines from Intel are expected, the 335 and 535 Series. These solutions will arise as the evolution of the current 330 and 520 Series.
There is not yet an official communication from Intel on these new flash drives. According to Fudzilla, we must expect the 335 Series units to operate with a a SandForce SF-2281, the current model of the 330 Series, and 20nm MLC memory chips . The launch will take place in several stages with the first arrival of a 240 GB version this year, joined in 2013 by the 80 and 180GB versions.
For their part, the 535 Series will support the SATA 6 Gbs based on a SandForce SF-2281 with new firmware. Different capacities are obtained by the 25nn NAND Flash MLC memory chips. It is expected to offer several models of 30, 120, 240 and 360 GB. Intel is also working on versions mSATA format.
For the moment no price is yet known. Hopefully they will be more competitive than those currently practiced.

A female snow leopard stalks along a snowy ridge in the South Gobi Desert of Mongolia. She's looking to catch a meal for herself and her two young cubs, who are waiting back in the den.
Meanwhile, scientists took the mother's absence as a rare opportunity to study her cubs. The Snow Leopard Conservation Foundation and Snow Leopard Trust have been monitoring this female for months, and by tagging the cubs with small chips, they'll now be able to track them. Camera traps set up throughout the area will catch photos of their comings and goings.
The rare cats have been monitored in the Tost mountain range since 2009, making it both the longest and most well-studied snow leopard population in the world. The species is listed as endangered on the IUCN Red List.
The area has been under acute threat from mining, a major enterprise in Mongolia. Thanks in part to the conservation efforts of the local community, Tost was declared a National Nature Reserve in 2016.
Female snow leopards raise their cubs by themselves for around 18 months.
Now one of the largest protected habitats in the world, the Tost Nature Reserve now serves as a much-needed bridge between the Great Gobi and the Gobi Gurvansaikhan National Park. Good thing, since recently collected data shows that individual snow leopards require home ranges larger than the island of Aruba, 44 times larger than researchers previously thought.
Tost's snow leopard population is currently stable, with 23 cats now collared and tracked through GPS, including the mother and her two precious cubs.

Please tell me it was just a Dream
I have spent the afternoon obsessing over a difficult situation. One made so much worse by a momentary but colossal lapse of judgement on my part.
For hours I have hoped that I would wake up to discover it had all been a dream!
I see now why the invention of a time machine holds such great appeal.
Alas, I am not dreaming.
There is no time machine and there are consequences that lie ahead.
Blame Adam & Eve…
I find it interesting that as Christians, some of us look at the account of Adam and Eve, and we judge them. Eve was foolish and manipulative, Adam was spineless and allowed himself to be led astray by his woman. And both were unable to take accountability for their actions.Read More
Hail to the King
As the world stood waiting in eager anticipation, all cameras, all eyes locked on a door, waiting for it to open, waiting for the arrival announcement of a baby who could one day be a be King, I couldn't help but be reminded of Jesus and His humble birth.Read More
Lacklustre Love
Many times, especially among people who move in prophetic and healing circles, I hear talk about; reaching 'new levels' and seeing 'greater realms'.
These discussions make it seem as though a video game is being played and a new achievement has been reached, unlocking a special feature.
I'm not for a second saying that the hearts of these people aren't genuine and that their experiences aren't real, they are, and I share many of them.
In fact God's word encourages us to "desire that you may prophesy", it is good, it is noble…. But, we are also warned, in the same book:
It Is Good
God stood before Adam and Eve, the flesh He had just created in His image….
He stood, perusing His divine workmanship, knowing full well that the two people standing before Him, the people that He had CREATED!…would soon defy Him.
He stood knowing that generations of people that would come from this man and woman would deny His existence.
He stood knowing that in order to restore righteousness, a right standing relationship with Him, HE would have to pay the ultimate price, make the ultimate sacrifice and offer the blood and broken body of His son as payment, a hope of reconciliation.Read More

Private matters
SX – Thursday, 23 August 2007
Police resources may be stretched, but they still manage to cover the beats, Stephen Bull reports.
I recently defended a client charged with indecent behaviour and I thought SX readers might be interested in the outcome of the case.
My client was caught standing in a toilet cubicle in Marrickville with another man. The police evidence was that the plain-clothes young constable saw two pairs of feet under a closed toilet door, promptly jumped up and looked over the door and saw the shocking sight of two men standing together. The door was locked and nothing was seen apart from feet.
This flagrant display of feet caused the police to arrest both men on the spot and handcuff them. Both made no move to flee the scene and were co-operative. When the senior sergeant appeared, the first thing he did was order that the two men be uncuffed.
The magistrate found the thought of two men having sex in a toilet cubicle in a public park in the middle of the day when children were present objectively offensive. Such a use of the toilet would scare the children who used the park.
The decision shows more than anything else that mainstream attitudes rule. My personal analysis is that the middle-class families moving into Marrickville have been complaining like hell about the perverts in 'their' park. In terms of penalty, the magistrate dismissed the charge without a conviction. The lightest sentence possible. I advised my client to appeal.
In my earlier article, I did criticise the NSW police for directing resources towards prosecuting gay men in the suburbs and suggested that there was a bit of institutional homophobia floating around the NSW police. I can now safely renew this criticism. The two police, who arrested and cuffed my client for standing in a toilet cubicle, were in an unmarked police vehicle, in plain clothes and on what they described as 'proactive policing duties' within the Marrickville Local Area Command. It must have been a slow day. They were roaming around Marrickville targeting what they perceived as anti-social behaviour at their discretion. Both admitted, under cross-examination, that there was no complaint that day concerning activity in the park but it was well known by police as a gay beat. Nothing to do, go bust some poofs.
The NSW police is a huge organisation with a long history. It contains some humane and well-intentioned people at all levels. It is trite to demonise the police as the enemy. It is also inherently conservative. In the police mindset, 'one of us' is not an openly gay male.
Lesbians seem to function better in the NSW police although there have been some celebrated incidents when the ladies appear to have been thrown out of the club. The example of Lola Scott springs to mind. Dykes appear to fit in better through sheer force of numbers. I don't think you can underestimate numbers. For some reasoning, joining the police is something that gay women like to do. Butch dykes can also talk about tits and football which is handy.
I know of very few openly gay men in the NSW police who find it a comfortable place to be. I have seen some nasty and weird things happen with police officers that like to have sex with other men. The pop psychologist in me would tend to diagnose the problem as the self-hating homosexual. An ugly beast in anyone's home.
Bureaucracies have their own unspoken rules of membership. Don't ask me to point out the section in the police handbook that says poofters are bad news but they definitely are not part of the law enforcement club in New South Wales. Some of the 'cultural' issues that make police gay-unfriendly are not gay-specific but part of broader issues concerning minorities, gender and sexuality. Police tend to divide the world up into 'us' and 'them/criminals'.
The police force has a huge turnover of staff. Many are now recruited and out of the place in about two years. Many police at the coalface have little experience and less judgment. The young constable who handcuffed my client for no reason said he handcuffed him because he had concerns about his safety. This is in the middle of the day in a park in Marrickville.
I am cynical about statements on websites about inclusion, banners in parades and gay and lesbian liaison officers. There is nothing wrong with good intentions but actions are better. The NSW police have a beat policy, which provides some guidelines to how beats are supposed to be policed. Police are only supposed to police beats if the boss tells them to. In this case, the police were in plain clothes and an unmarked car. The policy clearly states that operations should be conducted in uniform and marked cars. The policy doesn't say that the law relating to offensive behaviour shouldn't be enforced. My advice is stick to the saunas. At this time of year, they're warmer and always safer. View article

Coroner criticises police investigation into gay men's deaths
ABC PM • March 9, 2005
An investigation stretching back 20 years had an ending of sorts today, when the Deputy New South Wales Coroner handed down her findings into the deaths of three gay men in Sydney.
The three men died or went missing in the mid to late 1980s from a well-known gay haunt in Sydney's Eastern Suburbs.
The cases were all investigated, inadequately according to the Coroner, and quickly forgotten.
But in a story that could come from the files of a television "cold case" program, a New South Wales policeman who wanted to know the truth re-opened the cases a decade later. Read more

The Time Of Year The Gay World Dreads
Sydney Morning Herald – posted at www.lavatories.com.au
Thursday October 27, 1988
By JOHN STAPLETON
Inside the public lavatories in Moore Park, a well-known meeting place for homosexuals, are the words "Slave wants Master."
Next to this: "Poofs are dead". And outside, in capital letters, "BEWARE BASHERS".
With the arrival of warm weather, the practice of "cruising" for sex partners goes outdoors – and the gay bashings start to increase again.
In the last three weeks a man has been attacked on Oxford Street and later admitted to hospital with a broken pelvis, while another had his arm broken in three places. In Newtown, a gay man was attacked by two skinheads and left with two black eyes, abrasions and an injured neck.
But before these, only 11 bashings had been reported to police since January – seven in Moore Park, two in Green Park, Darlinghurst, and two in Rushcutters Bay Park. Police and gay groups agree that many bashings at any time of year go unreported.
Street Watch, a project to monitor violence against lesbians and gay men, begins today. It is being conducted by the Gay and Lesbian Rights Lobby, in conjunction with the Gay and Lesbian Counselling Service and Lesbian Line.
"Street Watch has been made necessary because it is clear that lesbians and gay men do not report assaults to the police," said Mr Gary Cox, co-convener of the Gay and Lesbian Rights Lobby.
"There remains a level of distrust towards the police, even though improvements have been made in the last few years. There is a belief that police are unable to do anything about assaults."
Street Watch aims to collect the information via a questionnaire administered by staff of the Gay and Lesbian Counselling Service and Lesbian Line. The results will be collated to identify trouble spots and areas requiring special attention.
This information will be passed to the Police Gay and Lesbian Liaison Unit, which was established in 1984 and began a period of distinct improvement in relations between the gay world and the force.
Senior Sergeant Brian Gately, recently appointed to the Liaison Unit, says everybody is entitled to protection by the police – "we want people to report bashings. "
Bisexual men might fear that if they report a bashing to the police their families could find out about their sexuality.
However, said Sergeant Gately, such fears were unfounded unless a serious injury was involved. "Discretion is paramount in everyday police duties," he says.
And police are governed by community attitudes, he adds.
"There are 12,000 police, and there is obviously a range of attitudes, but amongst the upper echelons the attitude towards gays has become much more tolerant."
What motivates the gay bashers?
Mr Cox said he knew of no studies about it, "but raping a lesbian is seen as an accolade in terms of sexual prowess.
"Many members of teenage gangs are insecure about their own sexuality, which is probably the major reason for assaults on gay men. You are seen as a real man if you go out and bash a poofter," said Mr Cox.
"Gays are one of the most hated sections of the community. While racist comments are no longer socially acceptable, derogatory comments about gays still get widespread approval."
He says every gay man and lesbian knows the fear of being bashed, the fear of walking home, alone or in groups, and the degradation of being taunted from cars or by passers-by.
Many also know what it is like to comfort their bloodstained and distraught friends after a bashing.
Calls For End To Qld Crackdown On Gays
Sydney Morning Herald — posted at www.lavatories.com.au
Sunday March 27, 1988
By GREG ROBERTS
BRISBANE: The Queensland AIDS Council called on the Premier, Mr Ahern, yesterday to stop a police crackdown on homosexuals which has seen scores of men arrested on indictable offences in parks and public lavatories.
The State Opposition also called for an end to police "persecution" of homosexuals, and for the sacking of the Minister for Health, Mrs Leisha Harvey.
The Herald reported on Saturday that the Government plans to spend about $1 million on prosecuting 70 men, including a prominent National Party member, for sexual offences. Most were arrested by police agent provocateurs.
Two Gold Coast men are also facing charges of sodomy and gross indecency, allegedly committed upon each other in the privacy of their home.
Queensland AIDS experts fear that a memorandum circulated by Mrs Harvey in January will require them to give the Government confidential information on AIDS patients.
The president of the Queensland AIDS Council, Mr Bill Rutkin, said Mr Ahern should interveneimmediately to stop police from "continuing their gay-bashing activities".
"AIDS could be out of control in this State within a few years if the present policy of confrontation and persecution is not reversed," Mr Rutkin said.
"Mrs Harvey, Mr Clauson (the Attorney-General) and Mr Gunn (the Police Minister) are apparently too gutless to confront the police on this matter.
"Ultimately the responsibility for the police actions is the Premier's. Mr Ahern should realise that the average Queenslander does not support the police snooping around the bedrooms of ordinary citizens."
The Opposition's health spokesman, Mr Pat Comben, said the State Government was putting its "narrow view on morals" before the interests of public health
He said Mrs Harvey should be sacked. "The Health Minister is permitting the agenda for the State's health care responsibilities to be dictated by a conservative section of the police force," he said.
Mr Comben said homosexuals and bisexuals in Queensland were being "cowed, confused and driven underground by the police and by laws placed on the statute books last century.
"We apparently don't have the police staff levels necessary to protect our suburbs, but we do have enough police officers in trench coats to go around peering through bedroom windows."
A police spokesman, Superintendent John Youngberry, denied that police were deliberately entrapping men in public lavatories and parks.
He said: "We don't set out to deliberately catch the poofs. We've had complaints from the public about some of their activities and we've acted on those complaints."

MELBOURNE — An increase in the number of gay men being arrested by police decoys in public places has highlighted what is an ongoing outrage for Melbourne's gay community. According to the Police-Gay Liaison Committee, anything up to 20 gay men a week are being arrested at a park on charges of offensive behaviour. The committee alleges that undercover police approach gays, provoke offenses and then apprehend the "offenders". Read more
Relief For The Passing Parade
SUNDAY AGE — posted at www.lavatories.com.au
Saturday August 22, 1992
Anthony Dennis
IT IS 75 years, or as close to it as anyone can recall, since those in dire need were first able to find relief below street level. Time has marched on, but the city's strategically scattered subterranean public lavatories are a going concern.
In other cities, councils, exasperated by the prevalence of deviant behavior, expensive maintenance and a belief that "when you've got to go, you've got to go" is no longer reason enough, have closed their underground toilets. In Melbourne almost a dozen have survived.
For some, they are sinister no-go areas, more intimidating than the ground-level variety. From the top of the stairs you can never be certain of precisely what lurks below. For others, the subterranean lavatory is a refuge from the hurly-burly above ground.
According to the state historian, Dr Bernard Barrett: "It's amazing that these underground toilets still exist at all when you consider the aspects of our society which have vanished over the years.
"A ground-level toilet is okay in a park, but on a footpath it can be an eyesore. It is unlikely there will be any more underground toilets built." Some of the underground toilets are known homosexual haunts. Council cleaners jangle their keys at the top of the stairs as a signal that those below should compose themselves.
Mr Rod North, Melbourne City Council's supervisor of cleansing, said that drug use inside the toilets was not a major problem. He agreed with Dr Barrett that the glory days of the subterranean toilet had passed: the expense of excavation and tank construction was too great.
Attendants are still present at the bottom of the stairs beside the GPO in Elizabeth Street, and in Collins Street, just opposite the City Square, but these men and women are a disappearing species. Other underground toilets once had their attendants too, but the toilet staff that remain now cost the city an estimated $500,000 a year in wages, a high price.
At road level, at least, the city's underground toilets are classy places, resplendent with iron fencing and ornate arching entrances. Downstairs some have a dozen or more cubicles. Foreign tourists are impressed that no payment is required. Nowadays, stainless steel urinals are favored over the old porcelain variety, some of which still may be found.
At the GPO and Collins Street the male and female attendants work inside fish-bowl glass booths. They sit for hours with watchful, though discreet eyes, ready replacement toilet rolls and jumbo tins of air freshener at hand. A staff of 30 attendants work at these two locations.
And, yes, officially there are additional "relieving" staff.
Among the regular attendants is Mrs Ngaire Jones, who works at the ladies' loo in Collins Street which is decorated in pink tiles, with even a row of make-up mirrors and stools down one wall.
"You get to know people, especially old ladies who've been shopping all day," she said. "For them it's a refuge and a place to rest. People like to come down here because they know they'll be safe. You meet a lot of nice people here. It makes you feel good when they praise the cleanliness of the place." The opening and closing times of the underground lavatories, the first of which Dr Barrett believes were completed in Flinders Street about 1918, have been reduced over the years. Now none stays open beyond 10pm. Once, you used to be able to go until 11.30pm. Twenty-five years ago pubs closed at 6pm; when their doors shut there was literally nowhere to go.
"The user-pays outlook expects people to use toilets in cinemas, hotels and stores," said Dr Barrett. "I hope that Melbourne's historic underground public loos will still have a place in the economic rationalist future."
Gay Beats: Our Most Shameful Sexual Secret?
Sydney Morning Herald — posted on www.lavatories.com.au
Wednesday June 17, 1992
IT'S called "doing the beat". It's been going on since the beginning of civilisation and it's a practice that's not going to go away.
Men who want to have sex with men often don't have an option but to go to gay "beats" which can be at beaches, public lavatories, parks or shopping centres.
Sometimes they have sex at the beat, and sometimes they just want to talk and have contact with others of their kind.
Many of the men who use beats do not identify with being gay. Often they are married and have children. They don't feel comfortable in a gay bar or nightclub and the only place to make contact is the beat.
One of the attractions – for some of these men – of having sex in a public place is the element of potential danger. And therein lies the problem.
A gay man called Richard Johnson was bashed to death in a park in Alexandria two years ago and only a year ago, another man, Bill Allen, died from injuries he received in the same park. No-one goes to that beat any more
Men who use beats also run the risk of being charged by the police with offensive behaviour. Often undercover detectives will dress in the style of gay men and go to a beat and make arrests.
At other times uniformed police will act after receiving complaints from the public or a council.
Both councils and the police force have been criticised for their lack of understanding this issue.
Sue Thompson, a Police Gay and Lesbian Client Services consultant, says that police are often "the meat in the sandwich".
Ms Thompson says: "They have to act but they need to keep a clear assessment of priority.
"You get bashers in public toilets and that is a far worse issue and a far more serious issue than so-called offensive behaviour. You've got violence with potential murder happening and that's much more of a problem for police.
Ms Thompson says that nowadays police are becoming more aware that violence directed towards beat users is more of a problem than beat users themselves.
And with all the publicity in the media about gay bashings, these incidents are being reported more often than in the past.
"That's a good plus," she says. "Whereas 10 years ago police might have thought: 'Well, so what? There's a bashing out there, they shouldn't be doing it – serves them right'; now there's been a shift of attitude."
The change in attitude has also come from the public. Ms Thompson says that up until a couple of years ago beat users were reluctant to report violence or police harassment.
"People are more willing to say even though I'm here (at the beat) – one: I don't deserve to be bashed; two: I deserve professional treatment by police. There's been an increase in people's expectations."
A working party of high-ranking police is expected to come up with an action plan for beats this month.
The staff officer for the State Commander, John Garvey, said that the police had received some positive feedback and the strategies that would flow on should be "acceptable to all sides of the community".
Two men who probably know more about beats than most are Phillip Keen and Peter Kerans. They are two of nine beats outreach workers employed by the AIDS Council of NSW (ACON).
The beats program has been going since 1988. Its aim is to educate men who use the beats about safe sex practices and give support to beat users.
When Keen and Kerans first started working the beats, they often found that because some of the beat users didn't identify with being gay, they wouldn't get HIV or AIDS "because that only happened to fags on Oxford Street".
Keen and Kerans say they don't come across that attitude much these days because of the amount of publicity about HIV and traditionally Oxford Street and its surrounding areas have many gay venues.
And so for that reason, one of the main areas they target is around Botany and as far south as Cronulla because there are no venues for men in that area to go to if they want to have sex with other men.
Keen says: "Overwhelmingly, most men who use beats are very discreet about the way that they use them. The last thing they want is to be discovered, so there's a sort of code that people follow, part of which is to avoid being noticed by someone who is not doing the beat. So people go a long way to avoid being noticed by the general public."
Both Keen and Kerans are concerned that a story in a Sunday newspaper quoted a police sergeant as saying that one particular park was "infested with homosexuals" during the day. The local council closed the public toilets in the park because police said they had been used as a "clubhouse". After the closure graffiti appeared that read: "Poofter bashers operate here. Beware."
Keen said he went to that beat a day after the story appeared and no-one there would talk.
"Perhaps they (the beat users) thought we were plainclothes police – so this kind of thing gets in the way of our work and gets in the way of effective HIV prevention."
Peter Grogan is a member of the ACON legal working group, the Lesbian and Gay Legal Rights Service and a lawyer acting for several men who have been charged with offensive behaviour.
Last week a magistrate found that one of Grogan's clients believed the police who arrested him at a beat were "interested", but still found that the conduct was offensive "because", Grogan says, "it was an area in which the public might go – although they don't".
Grogan said: "In recent cases people have all been dealt with by section 556A of the Crimes Act which is where the offence is proven but no conviction is recorded."
"That highlights how absurd all of this is. Often these people may well be married or it's a great embarrassment for them at work. They've been put through the stress of being arrested, and fingerprinted and photographed and dragged through a court proceeding and very personal things are talked about.
"The magistrate believes that they (the offender) thought the police were genuinely interested – there was nobody else around – and they get no punishment (from the court).
"It's a waste of everybody's time and energy and it forms magistrates'opinions of what gay men are like because that's their principal point of contact with them. It forms a lot of gay men's opinions of police officers and magistrates because it's their first contact with them.
"This practice is discriminatory."
He also says that to call a beat a public place is a "furphy".
"It's irrelevant because it's not a question of whether people can see (the offensive behaviour) – the only people who see (it) are police officers who deliberately go undercover and know what they're looking for and go looking for it.
"I've never seen any cases where there's been a civilian witness and that says something to me about the circumstances about the offence."
And because many of Sydney's hundreds of beats are on council property, ACON workers would like councils to have a deeper understanding of the AIDS council's work.
The beats outreach workers say that in order to get the message across, ACON needs more resources.
Peter Kerans says: "This work is being done on a shoestring because funding authorities still see beats as a way of HIV entering from the infected community into the general population through bisexual men. So for that reason they're hedging their bets by funding to a certain extent but not funding it to the extent where you can actually do all the things you want to do like work with councils, police and cover Sydney effectively, which we don't."
Kerans says: "I think there's still a prevailing philosophy of trying to stop beat behaviour but we know it's always gone on – there are beats in Europe that have been known for centuries – they go on and they'll always be around."
Council Considers Condom Machines To Counter Aids
Sydney Morning Herald — posted on www.lavatories.com.au
Monday October 20, 1986
By TRACEY AUBIN, Civic Reporter
Sydney City Council will consider installing condom-vending machines in lavatories under its control and supporting the provision of clean, disposable syringes to intravenous drug users.
Details of the counter-AIDS measures, proposed by Alderman Brian McGahen(Independents' Alliance), will be circulated to all aldermen this week and a report will be considered by council's health committee at a later meeting.
According to Alderman McGahen, more than half the cases of AIDS diagnosed in Australia had come from the Sydney area. "The widespread use of condoms in casual sexual activity and amongst the high-risk groups is the most effective way to prevent sexual transmission," Alderman McGahen told the health committee last night.
"Likewise, ending the sharing of needles by intravenous drug users is the single most important step that can slow the spread by blood-to-blood transmission."
Alderman McGahen has also proposed anti-discriminatory measures for people with AIDS.
Under his proposal, Meals on Wheels, child care services, swimming pools and libraries would be available to AIDS carriers on the basis that there was no scientific reason to reject their access.
Alderman McGahen also called for an immediate large increase in the number of beds in special AIDS units, the provision of a hospice to care for people with AIDS and a health education program.
Victorian health authorities have moved to head off what they fear will be the next wave of AIDS by making sterile syringes readily available to drug users. The national AIDS task force has joined the pharmaceutical society in urging pharmacists not to baulk at selling the syringes to addicts.

One of the challenge I have had to deal with personally, most times while praying as been that of: What to say, what to pray for, who to pray for. Then I came across this praying aid. It gives a perfect answer to the question of who to pray for, what to pray for and why you should pray for what you pray for.
The praying aid, illustrated with the five fingers of our hand includes:
THE THUMB: It is the closest finger to us. Hence it reminds us to pray for those that are close to us. These includes; our families, our friends, relatives e.t.c. 1 THESS 1:2 'We always remember you when we pray and we thank God for all of you'.
THE INDEX FINGER: This finger is next to the thumb. It is used for pointing. Hence, it reminds us to pray for those that are pointing us in the right direction in life such as our Pastors, Mentors, Teachers e.t.c. Matt 26:38 'Jesus said to Peter and the sons of Zebedee, 'My heart is so heavy with grief, I feel as if I am dying. Wait here and stay awake with me (pray with me)'. Most of the people that point us in the right direction in life have their own personal challenges. Hence, let us form the habit of praying for them.
THE MIDDLE FINGER: It is the tallest finger. It reminds us to pray for those in Leadership positions in the country, including the Church. Ps 112:6 'pray for peace in Jerusalem (Nigeria), May those who love you find peace'. We should form a habit of praying for the President, every government official, Church and even pray about the news as whatever affects our country indirectly or directly affects us. Ps 51:18 ' in your good pleasure make Zion ( The Church) prosper, build up the walls of Jerusalem (Nigeria)'.
THE RING FINGER: it is the weakest finger. It reminds us to pray for all the sick people, the elderly, mentally retarded, less privilege like the orphans and so on. James 5:14 'is any one sick? He should call the elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord'.
The LAST FINGER: it is the smallest finger. It reminds us to pray for ourselves. Philip 4:6 'Do not worry about anything, but pray and ask God for everything you need, always giving thanks for what you have'. We should form the habit of taking all our challenge to God because God is bigger than our biggest challenge. James 5: 13 'are you having troubles? You should pray. Are you happy? You should sing'.
Just as we can not do without our fingers and hands on a daily basis, so also we can not do without prayer on a daily basis.
Daddy God, I thank you for adding to my knowledge about prayer today,. I ask that you help me to put all that I now know into practice and to touch lives through my prayers. In Jesus name.

Football Training Camp - Weekend Review
Aug. 12, 2001
Quarterback Jason Johnson is beginning to get half the daily work after five days of Arizona's fall football training camp in his expected bid to take the reins of coach John Mackovic's new offense for the Wildcats' season opener Aug. 30 at San Diego State.
Johnson's ascendancy, a not unexpected development, should put the 6-foot-2, 210-pound junior from Puyallup, Wash., in the first real action of his career. He saw only limited mop-up action behind senior Ortege Jenkins in 2000 and has a handful of plays under his belt. Still, that puts him a notch ahead of sophomore Cliff Watkins and redshirt freshman John Rattay in terms of collegiate experience.
'Jason's moved to about 50 percent of the (practice) plays,' Mackovic said Sunday after the Cats concluded their Sunday night practice in full pads. 'We're going to have to get him to 65 percent before the first game, but we have to have people trained so Watkins and Rattay need to get work, too,' he said.
'The offense is getting a little better. We threw everything at them today and put in a ton of stuff on both offense and defense. These guys learn well. We don't have to do a lot of extra repetitions to have them learn,' Mackovic said.
Johnson was again effective in pass skeleton drills in Saturday's evening session and the lone practice Sunday, completing 11 of 15 passes for about 150 yards against live coverage, plus had moments finding the open receiver in full-line drills.
Unlike recent years when Arizona quarterbacks seemed to focus on big-play receivers like Dennis Northcutt and Bobby Wade, Mackovic's multiple-pro passing attack spreads the ball around using using a wide package of formations, and Johnson and the others have hit tight ends, halfbacks and fullbacks out of the backfield as well as a full complement of half a dozen wide receivers.
'The tight end group is among the largest I've had,' Mackovic said, citing work by James Hugo, Justin Levasseur, Peter Hansen and Steve Fleming, among others. 'As long as they can feel the routes, I'm confident our quarterbacks can get them the ball,' he said. None has a collegiate pass reception yet, but the offensive scheme installed by Mackovic and coordinator Rick Dykes has put a premium on four to five pass routes each play.
UA will turn to a practice in only shorts and helmets Monday morning, then likely return to pads in the evening. Tuesday is a one practice day then Wednesday brings two sessions including some controlled scrimmaging during the afternoon practice on the team's field near McKale Center. Camp ends Aug. 18 and the team begins fall classes Monday, Aug. 20.
NOTES...Two true freshmen players appear to be making bids for action in 2001 -- safety Kirk Johnson and defensive end Carlos Williams. Both have been working with the second units. Johnson, 6-foot, 203, has shown a penchant for hard hitting and is a likely candidate for UA special teams as well. Williams, 6-foot-4, 270, reported as a tight end but moved to defensive end after a few days of freshman drills... Fleming, a 6-foot-6, 237-pound redshirt freshman, was a reserve quarterback last season but has seen some good action as a tight end in camp. 'He's done a nice job,' Mackovic said. He's been sidelined for several practices with a leg injury but should return to drills early in the week... Returning starting defensive tackle Anthony Thomas returned to practice over the weekend after missing the first few days of drills because of a dehydration problem the day before the first practice... Defensive end Johnny Jackson, a contender for a starting role, also returned to practice after a slow start because of a back problem... Non-scholarship receiver Burke Eiteljorg quit the team after Saturday night's practice, Mackovic said...
