Barbie's latest designer will visit a Canadian university this week to debate the popular doll's feminist credentials.
While the toy is blamed by many for negatively affecting girls' body image, the plastic figure is admired by some as a feminist role model reinvented with a variety of skin tones and body types.
Alison Halsall, assistant professor in York University's Department of Humanities, has organized a screening of 2018 documentary 'Tiny Shoulders: Rethinking Barbie' ahead of a chat with toy company Mattel's vice president and head of Barbie design Kim Culmone.

WHAT IS BETA hCG – The Pregnancy Test
The acronym hCG or Beta hCG refers to human chorionic gonadotrophin hormone. Its blood concentration is widely used as a pregnancy test since it is a method with high accuracy.
When taken at the right time and interpreted correctly, it has a very high success rate. BhCG can be obtained through blood or urine tests.
In this article, we address the following points about human chorionic gonadotrophin:
- How it is produced.
- How the test is done.
- How to interpret its values.
- Differences between hCG and Beta hCG
- Cases of false negative hCG.
- Cases of false positive hCG.
Human chorionic gonadotropin is an important hormone necessary for the maintenance and development of gestation. It is produced by the trophoblast, the embryo's cell group that gives origin to the placenta.
About six days after fertilization of the ovum by the sperm, the forming embryo reaches the wall of the uterus and lodges in it. From that moment on, the hCG hormone produced by the trophoblast can reach the mother's bloodstream, which makes it possible to detect it by ultra-sensitive laboratory tests.
As the embryo and placenta develop, more hCG is produced and released into the mother's circulatory system. In the first weeks of gestation, hCG levels double every 2 or 3 days. If the rate of increase of human chorionic gonadotrophin in the first 30 days of pregnancy is markedly low, there may be something wrong with pregnancy, such as non-viable fetus or ectopic pregnancy.
Current techniques can only detect hCG from the 3rd or 4th weeks of pregnancy counted from the date of the last menstrual period.
Since the 4th week of pregnancy is usually the time at which the next menstruation should come, we always suggest that the patient wait for the menstruation not to show up for the test. In this way, we minimize the risk of false negative results.
In general, hCG values are as follows over the weeks of pregnancy:
- Women who are not pregnant, or less than 3 weeks pregnant:: less than 5 mIU/mL.
- 3 weeks of pregnancy: between 5 and 50 mIU/mL.
- 4 weeks of pregnancy: between 5 and 426 mIU/mL.
- 5 weeks of pregnancy: between 18 and 7,340 mIU/mL.
- 6 weeks of pregnancy: between 1,080 and 56,500 mIU/mL.
- 7 to 8 weeks of pregnancy: between 7,650 and 229,000 mIU/mL.
- 9 to 12 weeks of pregnancy: between 25,700 and 288,000 mIU/mL.
- 13 to 16 weeks of pregnancy: between 13,300 and 254,000 mIU/mL.
- 17 to 24 weeks of pregnancy: between 4,060 and 165,400 mIU/mL.
- 25 to 40 weeks of pregnancy: between 3,640 and 117,000 mIU/mL.
Warning: the above values are for guidance only. They are not a rule and other references may have different values. If your hCG is different, do not panic, as this does not necessarily mean that there is something wrong with your pregnancy. The most important thing is the growth rate of the hormone in the first few weeks.
The hCG values for multiple-fetus pregnancies, whether twins or triplets, are usually higher because there are more sources of chorionic gonadotropin production.
Usually, the hCG peak occurs around the 10th week of pregnancy. The levels then begin to fall until the 20th week, when they stabilize, remaining more or less constant up to the day of delivery.
If you look at the values given above, you will notice that there may be a huge variation between human chorionic gonadotrophin values throughout the weeks of pregnancy. A pregnant woman in the 8th week may have hCG of 9,000, while another with the same gestational age, a hCG of 150,000. Therefore, hCG values are not useful for determining gestation time.
If you are an attentive reader, by now you may be wondering why I sometimes write hCG, while at others, beta hCG (BhCG). After all, what is the difference between hCG and beta hCG?
HCG is a hormone composed of two large molecules, called the alpha subunit (or alpha fraction) and beta subunit (or beta fraction). The first is structurally similar to several other hormones, such as follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) or luteinizing hormone (LH). The second one is unique and is found in no other hormone. Therefore, to reduce the risk of cross-reaction with other hormones and hence the occurrence of false positives, laboratories only search for the beta fraction.
The hCG produced by the fetus passes into the mother's bloodstream and is filtered by the kidneys, being part of it then eliminated by the urine. As such, beta hCG can be dosed in both the blood and urine of the woman. Except for in rare cases, which will be explained later, if BhCG is detected in the woman's blood or urine, she is pregnant.
There are basically two ways to evaluate the presence of BhCG: qualitative BhCG and quantitative BhCG.
Qualitative BhCG does not provide values, it only reveals whether there is human chorionic gonadotrophin at relevant values circulating in the mother's blood. This form is widely used in pharmacy pregnancy tests that use urine as a research source. These tests only say whether the test is positive or negative.
Quantitative BhCG is the form used in most blood tests. As such, the result is given in values, usually in milli-international units per milliliter (mIU/mL). Most laboratories consider pregnancy values above 25 mIU/mL.
It is important to note that urine pregnancy tests do not serve to establish the definitive pregnancy diagnosis. Even when they are positive, you need to confirm the result through the blood test, which is the most reliable pregnancy test.
Most blood tests can detect minimal levels of hCG of 5 mIU/ml, but there are already super-sensitive tests that detect the presence of even 1 mIU/ml.
Most laboratories use the following reference values:
- hCG below 5 mIU/mL = negative result, no ongoing pregnancy.
- hCG between 5 and 25 mIU/mL = undefined result: usually indicates no ongoing pregnancy, but may be the case of a very recent pregnancy, when there has not yet been time for enough hCG produced to be detected in the blood. In these cases, the test should be repeated after three days.
- hCG above 25 mIU/mL = positive result: indicates ongoing pregnancy.
It is always important to pay attention to the laboratory reference values. In most cases, laboratories use the value of 25 mIU/mL as a threshold. However, depending on the chemical method used, the value considered positive may be lower or higher.
Normally, for the embryo to implant in the uterus and its hCG to reach relevant levels in the pregnant woman's bloodstream, 7 to 14 days after sexual intercourse are necessary. In general, we only indicate that the test is performed after the delayed menses because, before that, it is unlikely that there has been enough time for the BhCG values to be high enough to be detected in the exams.
The main cause of a false negative BhCG is that the examination is done very early. Some women are nervous about having had unprotected sex and end up taking the pregnancy test a few days later, even before any menstrual delay. It's no use taking the test so soon because if you are pregnant, it is possible that the embryo has not yet reached the uterus. If the embryo has not yet implanted in the uterus, there is no way to have hCG in the mother's blood.
State-of-the-art tests can detect increases of BhCG with only 1 day of menstrual delay. However, to reduce the risk of a false negative, we suggest that the test is performed only after a week of menstrual delay. Keep in mind that you cannot totally exclude a pregnancy if the negative result has been obtained with less than 1 week of menstrual delay. However, a negative result with more than 2 weeks of menstrual delay makes the hypothesis of a pregnancy very unlikely.
In women with a very irregular menstrual cycle, whether or not menstruation is delayed may not be so simple. In these cases, we suggest performing the test only 14 days after unprotected intercourse.
The amount of hCG in urine is lower than in blood, so the risk of a false negative is greater in this method.
Lastly, the use of medications does not cause false negatives, including contraceptives, the morning-after pill, antidepressants, antibiotics, etc. Infections also do not change the outcome.
With the current BhCG detection techniques, false positive cases are rare. I will cite some situations in which a false positive result is possible.
Among these cases is that of fetal death occuring soon after implantation of the embryo in the uterus. In this situation, BhCG may be positive, but, as there has been a miscarriage, there will be no development of pregnancy. Miscarriages that occur so early may go unnoticed, as the embryo is still microscopic.
Some women who are undergoing treatment to become pregnant may use hCG drugs. In these cases, the BhCG detected in the tests may be only a remnant of the medicine administered days before. In general, after 2 weeks of discontinuation, this BhCG has already been eliminated, no longer interfering with pregnancy tests.
Other medications do not cause false positive beta hCG, including contraceptives, morning-after pills, antidepressants, antibiotics, clomiphene or any other hormone.
Very rarely, patients who have recently had mononucleosis may have false positive BhCG (with low values).
In older women, near menopause, the pituitary, a gland in the brain, may begin to secrete small amounts of hCG, enough to maintain values just above 25 mIU/mL.
Some tumors are producers of human chorionic gonadotrophin, as in gestational trophoblastic disease, which encompasses the following pathologies:
- Hydatidiform mole (partial or complete).
- Invasive mole.
- Choriocarcinoma.
- Placental trophoblastic tumor.
These diseases produce tumors from abnormal proliferation of trophoblast cells. The hCG production of these trophoblastic tumors may be very large, often above 100,000, and in some cases, in excess of 500,000 mIU/mL.

The driver of the grader was treated at the scene before being taken to hospital but died a short time later.
The employees who were in the personnel carrier were treated at the scene and four were taken to hospital.
The Queensland Mines Inspectorate is investigating the incident.

The Tuscarawas County Anti-Drug Coalition has begun distribution of specially designed bags which can be used to safely dispose of unused medications.
A total of 9,100 of the Deterra Drug Deactivation System bags were purchased by the Anti-Drug Coalition after it received a $30,000 grant from the Ohio Department of Mental Health & Addiction Services.
The lightweight bags measure 10 inches long by 5 inches wide and can hold up to 45 pills, 6 ounces of liquid or 6 patches at one time. Users simply place unused medication in the bag's pouch, fill halfway with warm tap water, seal tightly, shake and throw in the trash.
According to Deterra's website, each pouch contains a water-soluble inner pod containing MAT12 activated carbon. Once the pharmaceuticals are placed in the pouch and warm water is added, the warm water dissolves the inner pod, releasing the activated carbon. The warm water also dissolves prescription pills, patches and liquids, allowing them to be adsorbed by the carbon, rendering them inert and irretrievable.
The Anti-Drug Coalition began distributing the bags Wednesday at a breakfast at the Tuscarawas County Senior Center in Dover for a wide range of county agencies and organizations.
"We've reached out to a number of agencies and officials who come in contact with our residents who can use these bags to help get unused medication out of circulation," said Jodi Salvo of the Anti-Drug Coalition and Personal & Family Counseling Services. "With the drop-off locations that are available throughout Tuscarawas County for safe disposal, this in-home deactivation should remove even more potentially dangerous medications and prescriptions from potential abuse."
Representatives from area hospitals, nursing homes, physician offices, pharmacies, health departments, home health care agencies, ambulance services, funeral homes, libraries and local businesses attended the event to learn about the bags and receive supplies for distribution.
"We passed out almost 4,000 bags Wednesday," Salvo said. "We're using the bags as a way to educate the community."
Each bag is affixed with an educational flier and a postage-paid survey card to gather anonymous information to assist in future projects, she said.
"The information that we get back from the users of the deactivation bags will be completely anonymous since we are not asking for any identifying information," Salvo said. "But the information they provide to us will help us with projects to help end prescription misuse and abuse."
The information will give the organization data on what age demographic is using the bags and why, she said.
Getting rid of the unused medications will keep people safe and help protect the environment.
According to Deterra, the bags are environmentally safe.
The pouch is made from environmentally friendly materials that allow for the degradation of the plastic pouch through the use of an organic additive that reacts with the microbes found in a landfill. The result is the release of water and carbon dioxide, with little organic biomass left behind. This greatly reduces the amount of material left in landfills.
While the bags are important, the ultimate goal is to get out the word to the community of the importance of disposing of unused medications.
"The bag will help us have a conversation with the community about how to get prescriptions out of the community," Salvo said.
If anyone would like one of the bags, they can contact Salvo at Personal & Family Counseling Services at 330-440-7319.

The Kyoto-based company behind the Super Mario and Pokemon franchises recorded a 194 billion yen ($1.7 billion) annual profit. Annual sales rose 14% to 1.2 trillion yen ($10.7 billion).
Nintendo says popular Switch software included "Super Smash Bros. Ultimate," which sold 13.8 million units.
By quarter, Nintendo posted a profit of 25 billion yen ($223 million) for the January-March period, more than five times what it earned the previous year, on 203 billion yen ($1.8) quarterly sales, up 2%.
It expects to ship 18 million Switch devices the current year through March 2020, up from 17 million for the year just ended. The results for the year through March were 3 million fewer than the company had projected.
Switch is a hybrid game machine that works both as a console and a tablet. It went on sale about two years ago, but Nintendo said it continued to hope that new game software will continue to drive hardware sales.
Nintendo has been diversifying its business, including theme park facilities, merchandising and movies featuring its characters, hoping to cash in on its rich content.
It is also offering games for smart devices, such as "Pokemon Go."

It's Monday, it's a new week, and while we won't pretend to know everything that's going to happen over the next seven days, we have some sense of what's coming up.
Here's your briefing on some of the most important and interesting stories happening in the week ahead.
1) Where next for Brexit?
What's happening?
On Tuesday, British MPs will hold a day-long debate and then a vote on the prime minister's amended deal on how to leave the European Union in late March.
Why does it matter?
First of all: apologies, as we know we say that each week is an important one for Brexit. But… this week really is an important one for Brexit. Again.
You may remember that MPs voted down Theresa May's deal two weeks ago. She is now working to win them over, which is easier said than done.
MPs will also vote on amendments to the deal. Among the amendments being discussed is one to prevent a "no-deal" Brexit happening (this means the UK would leave the EU with no transition period and a sudden rupture in UK/EU relations).
None of these amendments have to be adopted, but it would be very uncomfortable indeed for the prime minister if one of them got significant support.
A reminder: on Tuesday, there will be only 59 days until Brexit and there's still no plan in place for how it's going to happen.
2) Facebook's status update
What's happening?
Facebook will reveal its yearly results on Tuesday.
Why does it matter?
Well… it's not been the best of years for Facebook, and Tuesday's news could highlight just how bad it has been for one of the world's most valuable companies.
Concerns over "fake news" and data breaches (not least that of 87 million people in the Cambridge Analytica scandal) have played their part in Facebook's slowing growth.
Might it now miss its revenue targets?
Here's the bad news for Facebook: 2019 could get a whole lot worse for them.
3) A very big deal indeed
What's happening?
A free trade deal between the EU and Japan comes into effect on Friday.
Why does it matter?
Wait! Come back! It's more interesting than it sounds.
First of all, this is not just a big deal, but an enormous one.
Free trade agreements are designed to cut trade tariffs (a sort of tax) between member countries. So now that the EU and Japan have a free trade deal in place, it means items like machinery parts will become cheaper in Europe (possibly making cars cheaper), and there's good news in Japan: the price of food from Europe is about to get a lot cheaper.
So how big is this deal? It covers about a third of the world's GDP and affects roughly 600m people.
4) The window slams shut
What's happening?
Football's winter transfer window closes on Thursday.
Why does it matter?
It's that happy time of year again for football fans.
There might be a lumbering centre-half out there who can bolster your defence or twinkle-toed forward who could help that push for the top.
Alternatively, you could waste £12m on a reserve striker who knackers his hamstring after two games and goes back home on loan in the summer.
Here's the place to look for all the done deals.

text: > There are others. I mean, I *think* Toni Morrison is literature The Nobel Prize would certainly imply so! And for my part I think Beloved is one of the best books by a contemporary author that I've read (though - please note! - it was a while ago and I don't have time or energy right now to defend that statement at length....). But 'Modern' is certainly a term that demands definition, where it's not obvious from context. To historians, for example, Shakespeare lived in the Early Modern period, and is thus a 'modern' writer. And in the querelle of ancients and moderns, as fought in the 17th/18thC, pretty much anyone from Thomas Aquinas on qualified. That's even without bringing in modernism as an early 20thC literary/artistic movement, let alone the 'lay' meaning.

Mathematical model for a positive displacement liquid pump
Date of Issue2017
School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering
A pump mathematical model was computerised using ForTran Programming Language. Water is used as the working fluid. The mathematical model consists of the pump governing equation which was derived from the definition for the bulk modulus of the working fluid, the conservation of mass, the geometrical relations governing the variation of working chamber volume and the valves equations for suction and discharge valves. The model is able to predict the variation of volume of the working chamber, the variation of the pressure of the working fluid, and the amount of flows through the suction and the discharge valves. For the valve model, spring loaded disc valve were used for both suction and discharge. Since there is no energy equation was involved and hence the temperature of the working fluid was not able to be obtained. The results have been verified by comparing with those from the reference research paper to ensure that the programming has been done correctly. Future work was proposed that optimization can be carried out to use the existing model to design future pumps with different capacity but under the same design.

When asking closed-ended questions, the choice of options provided, how each option is described, the number of response options offered and the order in which options are read can all influence how people respond. One example of the impact of how categories are defined can be found in a Pew Research poll conducted in January 2002: When half of the sample was asked whether it was "more important for President Bush to focus on domestic policy or foreign policy," 52% chose domestic policy while only 34% said foreign policy. When the category "foreign policy" was narrowed to a specific aspect – "the war on terrorism" – far more people chose it; only 33% chose domestic policy while 52% chose the war on terrorism.
It's a common answer when you ask people why they like to work from home. Most will respond that their flexible work environment relieves the amount of stress in their lives and gives them a healthier work-life balance. Today, our offices are constantly on, it isn't the same as it was decades ago, when you left the office and work actually ended. Today, most of us can work at any hour wherever we are located, so it makes sense that the line is starting to blur between work and life. But it stands to reason that working from home can help redefine—or at the very least, rebalance—that line.
Or, if you'd rather get your survey responses via email, there's likely a setting for that in your survey builder dashboard. Those emails won't be very customizable, so instead, you can use Zapier to send you an email with just the survey info you'd like to see. You could get the full survey results each time, or just a quick message to let you know of a new submission.
There's a decent rate of surveys pinged your way as you can expect two or three emails a day inviting you to fill in particular questionnaires. In addition to this, there are freely offered surveys on their cleanly designed website each day which you can look through and decide if they take your fancy. Surveys on CashCrate are often outsourced to third parties though, so you can make more money on the survey side from other websites. Similarly they are known for passing your information on to other people, so to avoid the irritations of endless spam, make sure you set up a dedicated email address for your CashCrate account.
I am so grateful and loved to see your article as I was hunting for one like yours. It is well written and appreciated. Thank you. I Drive a taxi for a living, but sodium deficiency in my blood forced me to stop driving. I get nasty dizziness attacks while driving. Passengers go nuts when I stop the car and go take two glass of salt water to stop the dizziness. So, I stopped driving and am trying out online internet jobs for a living. Do pass on any good legitimate websites you may know out there for online form filing, content writing, or data entry to earn a square meal. Please help. Thanks.
When I started to work from home, I missed talking to people. A lot. But I soon found a friend. Every day, I would hear the UPS guy gunning his motor as he drove down my long driveway to deliver my packages. As soon as I would spot him, I'd fly out of the house and chat him up. And now he leaves the packages by the curb. Sure, the one big bonus of working from home is that it gets you away from the petty office politics and never-ending gossip.
Hi, ive never done surveys, but I would like to start, thanks for the great info…. I know there are many, many variables, but did I read your article right, did you say 200/year for the average person ? That seems hardly worth it haha…… It seems too me if you join more than 1 site, and are actively doing them daily, or weekly, you should be able to generate almost that monthly?? Maybe its my lack of experience that makes me think that lol.. Thanks Mike
Many of these offerings provide rich toolsets for survey design and a number of amenities to create better-designed surveys, starting with a range of questions. However, designing, executing, and analyzing the results of high-quality surveys can still require a level of expertise that can be gotten through extensive training. Indeed, while my reviews didn't discuss acquiring and evaluating survey samples in-depth, as they are only incidental to the tools, this is a discipline in and of itself.
Focus groups are very different from pilot tests because people discuss the survey topic or respond to specific questions in a group setting, often face to face (though online focus groups are sometimes used). When conducting focus groups, the surveyor typically gathers a group of people and asks them questions, both as a group and individually. Focus group moderators may ask specific survey questions, but often focus group questions are less specific and allow participants to provide longer answers and discuss a topic with others. Focus groups can be particularly helpful in gathering information before developing a survey questionnaire to see what topics are salient to members of the population, how people understand a topic area and how people interpret questions (in particular, how framing a topic or question in different ways might affect responses). For these types of focus groups, the moderator typically asks broad questions to help elicit unedited reactions from the group members, and then may ask more specific follow-up questions.
No matter which apps your team uses to store your data and collaborate, you'll be able to work together on survey data far easily if it's in your favorite tools instead of hidden inside your survey builder. You can list entries in a spreadsheet, save them to your notebook, or even generate unique documents automatically based on each survey response.
Another way survey packages can make it easier to track different groups of respondents is via multiple "collector" links. These are simply different links to the same survey that can be broken out in analysis later. For example, if you wanted to field a survey to both Facebook and Twitter users, then posting different collector links on each network would let you track from which social network different respondents came.
Ever wanted to ask people what they thought about your business as they walk out the door, or survey people about their preferences as they're walking around your event table? QuestionPro makes that possible with its mobile apps and iBeacons support. With iBeacons placed throughout your location, and QuestionPro surveys embedded in your mobile app or the QuestionPro app installed, you can send push notifications and ask people to complete surveys based on where they are.
Avoiding scams online is pretty easy once you've become familiar with how false ads work and have developed realistic expectation about how much money you can make for the time you spend. On the surface, making money taking paid online surveys may seem like a long shot, but it certainly is possible and many people enjoy the benefits of taking part in them. So don't be afraid! If you want to try it, read some of our reviews and sign up for the ones that look interesting to you!
Freelance writing has completely changed our lives. For years, we worked great jobs in a funeral home. However, those jobs also demanded tons of time and exceptional amounts of emotional energy. We found ourselves working nights, weekends, and holidays – getting called out at all hours of the night and missing countless family events. These were good jobs, but they grew tiring.

Almost every big business has gotten on the social media bandwagon as a means to reach their customers directly, and without paying heavily for television, print, or radio ads. But not every big business has someone to manage their social media accounts, which is why more individuals have begun marketing themselves as social media managers and helping businesses grow their online following and expand their reach.
One of the most popular sites, and rightfully so, Swagbucks offers traditional surveys as well as a range of additional ways to make cash. Filling out surveys for money will reward you with points called Swagbucks which can be cashed out through PayPal, or redeemed as gift cards for shops including Amazon.com. As a sweetener, they'll even give you $5 just for signing up.
The apps on this list offer more than that. They help you tackle advanced techniques, like gathering images, recording audio, integrating with calendars, and crafting questions that get unbiased answers. Some are best online, while others shine in mobile apps or in offline world on a clipboard—it's true, several of these survey apps allow you to print out your questionnaire, then add the results to the app. This roundup focuses on survey tools offering standout features, with an emphasis on apps that make it easy to get started.

Perhaps the most important part of the survey process is the creation of questions that accurately measure the opinions, experiences and behaviors of the public. Accurate random sampling and high response rates will be wasted if the information gathered is built on a shaky foundation of ambiguous or biased questions. Creating good measures involves both writing good questions and organizing them to form the questionnaire.

I am sorry folks,
but this is one page I must add for all those idiots out
there whom haven't studied the Kelly story in depth much at
all, so sit back and read my comments which are in red.
this was told to me by a teacher of mine when he saw a
picture of Ned Kelly's helmet on my note book with written
underneath the republic of north eastern Victoria. In whose
name I will not un-cover but these were his exact words -
once again folks, I feel ill!
"My family grew up
in Benalla, in north eastern Victoria" My teacher cautiously
points to a map I know all too well, " One morning, Ned
and Dan Kelly and a couple of mates -
couldn't even name the gang phew.. rode
down to his relatives house, and, "demanded" food.
the "poor"
- what a load of crap!
farmers said, they didn't have any, so he said that Ned and
the gang destroyed their fine crops -
what in the name of Moses where on earth did he pull that
one from??? and
rode away"
He later added "He
was a mongrel, and they call him a hero" -
where's his evidence? what a fair dinkum dickhead, he has no
sense at all, so what was the date he read Ian Jones a short
life? when was last he even read about Kelly,
it is teachers like these in our schooling system, that make
our children unable to see the truth behind our National
heroes. This teacher would support folks like, Mr Warby who
killed thousand of innocent Aboriginals, he would call him
one of our national heroes, fair dinkum folks, this bloke is
real moron! we need to kick these teachers out their arses! - MIKE webmaster

Read the passage and then complete the exercise that
His whole family was on the wrong side of the law
Also in 1878 Ned and his younger brother Dan were falsely
accused of attacking a wounded policeman. Both men fled to
the bush where the 'Kelly Gang' was formed. For sixteen
months they eluded police, committing robberies to survive.
They killed three policemen, robbed a bank in Euroa and held
the town of Jerilderie hostage.
In 1880 they took over the Glenrowan hotel and took many
of the town's residents hostage. They made armour of thick
steel to protect themselves from police bullets.
Unfortunately the heavy armour made them clumsy. Ned was
eventually captured and his brother Dan died in a fire when
the Glenrowan hotel was burnt down.
He was a thief and a killer, so why was Ned Kelly widely
loved? People admired his bravery and his defiance of the
police. When it was declared that he was to be hung, 60,000
people signed a petition asking that he be spared. He was
eventually hung at the Old Melbourne Jail on 11 November,
1880. Today we can still see a life size mask made
immediately after his death. It is on display along with
other Ned Kelly paraphernalia. He is remembered today in the
popular expression, 'as game as Ned Kelly'.

There's usually a
sign up somewhere, on the outskirts, telling you to tune in
to the local tourist radio station. And if you bother tuning
in it's usually worthwhile. The recording will probably be
out of date. I've heard recordings still being broadcast
that are fifteen years out of date. But a lot of the places
I've been to don't get that many tourists.
Benalla doesn't have
much to recommend it, tourist-wise. It's been bypassed by
the highway to start with. And there's not much to say
about it except that it's there. We had decided to go to
Benalla for fairly obscure reasons: I went to school with a
guy called Dave who was from Benalla. That was how he
introduced himself to people: I'm Dave from Benalla. It
was a matter of civic pride. My father would have said that
Dave was a bit of a thinker. Meaning he wasn't too bright.
We didn't address
Dave by his proper name. We called him Duh-ave. And he'd
smile. He was very sweet-natured. So when I saw Benalla on
the map, I knew I had to go there. Just so I could find out
exactly what it was that had made Dave the sort of guy that
he was.
Benalla was flat. That
could be good or bad. But the tourist radio station promised
much more. This was Kelly Country, and if Ned Kelly had
pissed in the street in Benalla there would be a marker on
the spot to commemorate it.
Ned Kelly is an
Australian hero, in the Australian tradition. Which means he
was like Dave, a bit of a thinker. In America, a hero is
someone, just an average nobody, who works hard and strives
and struggles and through sheer force of will succeeds and
becomes famous for their achievements. That's the American
Dream. An Australian hero is just an average nobody, who
works hard and strives and struggles and, while attempting
to do something exceptional and extraordinary, fails
miserably and dies. you
fair dinkum idiot!
The whole Ned Kelly
thing had always been a mystery to me, but the Benalla
tourist radio broadcast really helped me to understand it.
Apparently, there had been two people born in Benalla worth
mentioning: Sir Edward Weary Dunlop and Red Kelly, Ned
Kelly's father. Ned's
father was born in Ireland!
Weary Dunlop had been a
war hero, of course. He was a surgeon, and he had
volunteered to serve his country during World War Two. After
he had been captured he had been tortured and repeatedly put
his own life before that of his injured patients. And after
the war, he forgave his captors and became an advocate for
furthering Asian-Australian relations.
But according to the
local tourist radio station, Weary Dunlop's achievements
were a poor second to Ned Kelly's. Not only was Ned's
father, Red Kelly, born in Benalla arghhh!
But Ned's first
criminal activities, which involved riding his horse on the
footpath and assaulting and robbing an Asian called Ah Foong,
Fook moron! and
he was not robbed! were
committed in Benalla, the sort of actions which later
cemented Ned's reputation as a true Australian Hero.
And then we heard about
the cummerbund. On Mair Street, the broadcast told us, at
the Tourist Information Centre, there was a Costume and
Pioneer Museum. And on display was Ned Kelly's cummerbund.
Kris and I laughed Why?.
It was the stupidest thing either of us had ever heard. So
we had to see it, Fair
Ned had been wearing
the cummerbund when he was captured, underneath his armour.
Which is a strange image to start with: a bushranger with a
fondness for formal wear what can you
say folks?. The story was that he had been given the
cummerbund for rescuing a drowning kid when he was himself
young, before he started his life of crime. Does that sound
far-fetched? Even that it had still fit him?
But first we went to
see a house that Ned Kelly had hidden in to elude the
police. The radio said it was now a hairdresser, It
was a struggle in the shop not hiding from the police!.
We drove from one end of the street to the other looking for
it. Finally we found the house, but now it was a gift shop
selling candles and handmade greeting cards and it was
closed. The radio broadcast was obviously out of date.
We didn't even get
out of the car, we just drove to the Costume and Pioneer
Museum. I think Kris was bored of Benalla all ready. I think
I was too. The Museum had the usual array of pamphlets and
the usual retired female volunteer manning the desk. It was
going to cost six bucks to see the cummerbund and we almost
didn't do it. But there wasn't much else for us to do
either, so we forked over the money gee
that would have difficult!
The cummerbund was in a
glass case. It was made of dark green satin. It had blotches
on it, which looked like rust stains. They could have been
blood stains, I suppose. And we looked at it for a while,
trying to get our six dollar's worth. Then that got boring
and we left Benalla for good.
part is on Glenrowan.
Part Two: Glenrowan
I don't think
Glenrowan really counts as a town. Nobody seems to live
there. There's a servo, advertising the best food on the
Hume Highway, except that Glenrowan isn't on the Hume any
more and the servo's closed down. Then there's a couple
of tourist traps and that's it. The only thing keeping
Glenrowan alive is the distant memory of Ned Kelly's
capture in the vicinity. Although nobody is even sure of the
exact location The exact location
is behind the old police station, if you had the patience
and curtesy, you may have seen the huge sign which MARKS
WHERE NED KELLY WAS CAPTURED!!. Let's just call
Glenrowan a convenient fiction.
So there's a six
metre tall statue of Ned Kelly, badly proportioned, outside
of Kate Kelly's Tea House. I think Kate was Ned's Mum Sister.
Then there's a replica of Ned Kelly's home, a wooden
shack with a museum and a gift shop. And then there's the
animatronic show called Ned Kelly's Last Stand, the
signage obviously ripped off from the Indiana Jones series
of movies. It's a two and a half million dollar,
forty-minute spectacular telling the history of Ned Kelly
and his final shoot-out with the police.
There's a big watch
face with movable hands outside, advertising when the next
show is scheduled to start. When we saw it was going to cost
fifteen bucks each we decided not to go in. I know it's
research, but we baulked. I can watch Arnie perform for
ninety minutes in a hundred million dollar spectacular at
the movies. I can watch Mick Jagger play Ned Kelly on video
for a couple of bucks. I know bad value when I see it.
We walked back to the
tea rooms and the statue of Ned. His head was too small. I
noticed that the statue was attached to the base with large
bolts. And how else do you suggest
they staged this spectacular piece?
Theoretically, he was detachable. I thought about pushing
him over. Will you get your little
kicks out of that??
All that was left for
us to do was visit the museum. The gift shop was free, but
you had to pay two dollars to go out the back, which we did.
And I started to get that feeling of rising hysteria. I kept
reading labels on the exhibits, and they'd say something
like: 'a washing machine of the type commonly in use when
Ned Kelly was alive' or 'furniture reportedly built by
one of Ned's brothers'. There was a cage with a cockatoo
out the back, and a paddock with a horse in it. I don't
know why, but they were there. I started to panic. It was
all rubbish, bits and pieces of junk thrown together and
pretending to be educational. It was all fake. It was worse
then Benalla. Doubtful you arghhhh!
There were some
newspaper clippings on a board, and I started reading one of
them. It was from the Benalla Sentinel. The article said
that the most important historical find since the discovery
of Pompeii had been made: the discovery of Ned Kelly's
cummerbund, the only object still in existence that had once
been owned by Ned Kelly.
And it all clicked. The
cummerbund wasn't pissy at all. The cummerbund was the
Turin Shroud of the whole Ned Kelly industry. Everything
else was tawdry junk and false idolatory.
Kris and I went back
out into the gift shop. There was a huge range of Kelly
crap, from tea towels to plush figures. In the background
there was a tape playing, telling the story of Ned Kelly's
life. I presumed the guy behind the counter owned the place.
I think he'd heard us laughing while we were out back in
the museum. I don't think he liked us. Wonder
So I went through the
motion of buying some film. I'd run out, taking photos of
the closed down servo gee your a real
comedian!. The narrator on the background tape said:
'The police finally arrested Ned Kelly's father and had
their way with him.'
So I said to the guy:
'Ooh-err', as I gave him the money for the film. He
rolled his eyes at me. Again what a
comedy man!
Then Kris said: 'I
suppose that's why they called him Red Kelly.'
And I burst out
laughing in this guy's face. I probably managed to get
some spit on him. He didn't say anything and we left. That
man which he laughed and then spat on his face is damn
utterly rude this line is one the reason's I had to add this
bloke to my Moron's Page, that Guy is Rod Gerrett who he
laughed in his face, a great man and would do anything to
help others. I can not believe there would be such a rude,
arrogant pig out there as much as this bloke.
