… or of Gary Hastings ("Alan Moon", "Gazza Hastings", "Gary Fieness Hastings", etc.).
Karl Marx was a snob.
He'd describe the proletariat as a "sack of potatoes".
He himself lived in the West End, off the proceeds of gambling on the London stock market.
Marx was funded by Friedrich Engels, his foxhunting friend,
Whose family firm in Manchester made money from child labour.
… His enormous bullish head presides over Highgate Cemetery.
Some come to worship. Others recall Stalin and his thirty million dead.
"When we have hanged the last capitalist", Marx said,
"Then we will hang the salesman who sold us the rope."
Thirty million died in Stalin's gulags. They weren't all evil rope salesmen
… Mistrusting top-heavy leaders and self-important vanguards,
[People] are doing it themselves…
- Heathcote Williams
|Some food snobbery - taken from EDL News.
The level of snobbery from EDL News, or from Gary Hastings/Alan Moon, is incredible. Nonetheless, EDL News will rationalise or justify it by saying it's only aimed at EDL members. But that's a lie. It's aimed at all the working class… except the Leftists ones of course.
If you read all the following carefully (see below, after the dotted line), you will see EDL News slipping from general criticisms of the EDL to very general remarks about the working class. This snobbery is not just something the Right has noted. Left-wingers have noted it too. They have noted the intense levels of snobbery of many contemporary Leftists. Not against the EDL – against the working class generally. Many commentators, from Nick Cohen to Brendan O'Neill, have noted this snobbery and often the subject of the EDL or the "far right" isn't even mentioned. For example, much has been made of left-wing "comedy snobs" such as Russell Howard and Stewart Lee. One of Russell Howard's "political" jokes about Tommy Robinson featured his accent – his Luton accent. Actually, it didn't feature his accent. Robinson's accent was the joke. That was all it amounted to. Most people who have an accent like Tommy Robinson's won't be EDL. So, in actual fact, Russell Howard's joke was at the expense of all people with a Luton accent; not at the expense of Tommy Robinson or the EDL. A similar thing happened when George Galloway picked up on Tommy Robinson's use of the word "bird". He said, or implied, that Robinson was "sexist" for using it ("You brought a parrot?"). That's strange. I would say that there are millions of British non-EDL who use and have used that word. (Talk of "sexism" is strange coming from a man who believes in polygamy, Islamic misogyny, someone who plays down rape and who never speaks out against Islamic female genital mutilation or Muslim grooming. Still, he got his priorities right. Using the word "bird" is far worse than all that.) (See super-snob Dianne Abbot.)
Why the surprise? Many middle class people have always been snobby about the working class. Indeed, from Marx and his "troglodytes" or "sack of potatoes", to the Webbs/Fabians and their eugenicist dreams about "improvingthe working class", there has always been an incredible snobbery from the Leftist middle class. After all, even the middle-class revolutionaries wanted to lead and above all change the working class (into revolutionaries or people without "false consciousness"); they mustn't have liked them as they were.
Then Muslims came on the scene. That meant that most Trots, not so much the case with Communists, could jettison the working class and latch onto Muslims instead; just as they had previously done with blacks and gays. And because the Left is now parasitic on Muslims, not gays, blacks, the working class or anyone else, there is no reason to hold back on the latent snobbery towards the working class any more. Enter Gary Hastings/Alan Moon and his relentless sarcastic snobbery which can literally be found in every sentence - never mind every piece – he posts. This man is a snob who doesn't think he's a snob simply because he's a Leftist. He thinks that's all it takes not to be a snob; as well as not to be a racist or (red) fascist. (This is equivalent to thinking that by putting on a cassock or growing a long beard you utomatically become holy or pious.)
These people constantly attack working class people for bad spelling and grammar. For drinking lager. For being football supporters. For being "knuckle-draggers". For having the wrong kind of tattoos. The sort of thing that if it happened in the 1970s or the 1980s, and had it come from the (right-wing) middle class, would have been classed as outright snobbery by Leftists such as these. But because Leftists are indulging in it today, people don't see it as snobbery.
Don't be fooled. These people have applied the same snobbery towards very many working class who aren't EDL. Not just BNP either; but also supporters of the Conservative Party. They are "reactionaries", "xenophobes", "bigots", people who have bad musical tastes, a poor fashion sense, etc. Basically, whether they are Christians, Conservatives, UKIP members, "Daily Mail readers", etc., the snobbery of the Left will manifest itself. They mainly target the EDL because they know that not many people will note or react to that snobbery precisely because it's the EDL. The problem is that this middle-class Leftist snobbery was well entrenched long before 2009, when the EDL was formed. Of course at that time Gary Hastings-types would have had other working-class targets.
|From EDL News - the word "butthurt" seems to be used by all Gary Hastings' acolytes.
The following includes extracts from a post from EDL News on the EDL. It provides a set of definitions of all things EDL… except that it often strays from the EDL and targets the entire working class (minus left-wing). This is something the middle class has always done – especially the Leftist middle class.
"Patriots come in all shapes and sizes but 95% of them are fat, bald and invariably drunk. Patriots defend England whilst in the pub."
Here we have Leftist prejudice, racism against whites, snobbery, fatism and ageism. Is this really aimed exclusively against EDL supports? How can it be? How can there be an essential connection between being EDL and being bald? There are thousands of non-EDL who fit this description; and they are who Gary Hastings has in mind too. And if patriots didn't defend England in a pub, he would still hate them. You will find that however and wherever patriots defend English, whoever they are, even if they look like Gary Hastings (well, maybe not), he would still hate them. Indeed he would hate them even more. That's why he also hates UKIP and its members, "Daily Mail readers", "Tories", and all other members of the working class who aren't Leftists. As well as all middle class people who aren't Leftists.
"Bus Wanker …. Can also refer to any EDL member whose preferred transport method to demos is by coach or minibus."
This seems to be snobbery aimed at many EDL for not having cars. Such poor people! They cannot even afford to go to posh restaurants to eat exotic Turkish food.
"EDL Angel - An oxymoron for morons. The foul mouthed female equivalent of their Stella swigging male counterparts. … An 'angel' has probably had sexual encounters with six or more male EDL members with some topping twenty. …"
Some classic sexism here. But that's OK, it's only aimed at the white working class. So class prejudice and sexism; but they're only right wing… except that Gary Hastings would apply this to many others too…. So every EDL angel is a tart and "foul mouthed". Really? Isn't that a generalisation and a stereotype? Or are certain stereotypes OK?... There also a strong sense of male judgement as to "uncontrolled female sexuality"; the sort of thing these Leftist argue against except when they in indulge in it against the white working class.
"Flash demo - A demo where a load of bored, bald, middle aged drunks turn up at a mosque and kick off and shout abuse. Flash demos can vary in size and depend if the football is on or not. One flash demo involved the storming of a KFC board meeting and then not knowing what to say to those gathered before having a rant about bacon."
More ageist and baldist prejudice from Gary Hastings/Alan Moon. What possible relevance could baldness and being middle-aged have?... unless he only notes these disabilities when the EDL has them.
"Casuals - Badly dressed Football hooligan division of the EDL. You can spot a casual as they do not look like they have bought any clothes since the 1980's…"
Here the comment is clearly not about the EDL alone. Not even about the "far right". The snobbery here has been widened to include another group – Casuals (many Casuals are apolitical). There is also a dig at people's poverty; as in Casuals "look like they have bought any cloths since the 1980s". I thought the Lefts were disgusted by poverty. Or is it the Gary Hastings also includes a bad fashion-sense as one of his hates? Is that really an EDL issue, I wonder, or just a, issue of EDL News and its general snobbery?
"Traitor - … Can also be spelt 'traytors'."
More spelling snobbery from Gary Hastings/Alan Moon. This is a favourite theme of middle-class Leftists when they are in conversation with the lower orders on Facebook and elsewhere. (Gary Hastings/Alan Moon doesn't seem to realise that "non patriots" should actually be "non-patriots".)
"Incrimidate - The act of putting the frighteners on yourself in the hope that you'll do something to get yourself into trouble."
More snobbery. Does EDL News believe that only EDL supporters can't spell? Apart from the fact that there are many spelling and grammatical mistakes both in these entries and also in other posts by EDL News, isn't it the case that many non-EDL can't spell? Or is it only working class supporters of the EDL he is on about? I doubt it. However, by making his dislike of bad spelling, or even dyslexia, seem to be focused on the EDL, he can hide his snobbery. And these people used to support – patronise – the working class. Whatever happened to the Left?
"Boozer - Can refer to a pub or an EDL Angel"
More sexism from Gary Hastings. But that's OK because the women are EDL. It's as if there are no middle class "boozers". And definitely no Leftist ones. Nonetheless, it's not the boozing that offends Gary Hastings; it's the fact that the boozers are white working class.
"Roonied - When a bald middle aged patriot wakes up with a hangover in bed with a woman older than his mother."
Some more strong Leftist sexism here. First, is it true that every EDL Angel sleeps with many EDL? Secondly, there seems to be a male distaste for females misbehaving themselves sexually; as many Leftist females do at university, for example. There is also ageism in this. Hasn't EDL News also said that the EDL is full of "young hooligan Casuals"?
"MAC - Muslims Against Crusades… MAC invariably outwit patriots as demonstrated at the 9/11 memorial service when the EDL came out with all the bad press the next day."
Hastings can't bring himself to be equally snobby and sarcastic about MAC. But that's because MAC is mainly made up of brown people and Gary Hastings/Alan Moon is a racist.
"Breiviking - … outrageous stories about 'Pakis' from the Daily Mail …"
Here's another example that EDL members are not the only target of EDL News snobbery: working class "Daily Mail readers" are too. As well as the Daily Mail itself, which is a compulsory target of Leftist snobbery and comedy.
"A non racist multicultural organisation - An organisation of patriots which include a token black guy, a token 'paki' who is really sikh and a Jewish division which is run by two mentally unstable non Jewish foreigners who support terrorism."
There have been many black supporters of the EDL. However, if backs are right wing, then they are Uncle Toms according to these Leftists because in their white middle-class racism blacks must be either rappers or "race activists" (Muslims must be radical Islamists). If they aren't, then white middle-class Leftists class them as "Uncle Toms" – even if they don't use that term. The white middle-class Left have classed numerous blacks as being Uncle Toms, and today they do the same with Muslims who aren't radical. Yet these very same people are always talking about Muslim "moderates". When they are moderate, many Leftists think them Uncle Toms.
"Infidels - Disillusioned fat, balding, drunk patriots who think the EDL are too PC for them and want to belong to a load of fat middle aged, bald, drunk blokes who are more openly racist and fascist."
There is no mention of the EDL here. All infidels are fat, balding, drunk patriots? Surely if they never became EDL, they would have still been balding. This sounds like a racial stereotype to me.

FC: Abraham Lincoln by:Nicole P
1: Abraham Lincoln was born on February 12th, 1809 in Hardin County, KY. In 1816, Abe and his family moved to Indiana.
2: Abraham Lincoln grew up on a farm, and did a lot of farm work as a young boy. He didn't have a good education, But he learned how to read and write without any schooling.
3: In 1834 Lincoln won a seat in the Illinois legislature, and in 1846 Lincoln was elected a United States Representative in Illinois, And finally in 1860 Lincoln received the republican nomination for president.
4: Lincoln and the Civil War
5: what did Lincoln do in the Civil War? | Lincoln was a steady leader in the Civil War. He used his intelligence to his advantage, a made sure he also took advantage of the resources around him. He also knew the the north needed to win this war so he hired the best general for the job.
6: Lincoln's large role in the Civil War
7: Abe Lincoln had a huge role in the Civil War. He had a realistic view on the war, and believed that the war is best prosecuted by killing the enemy.
8: Another reason Lincoln had a huge role in the Civil War, was the Emancipation Proclamation. This document stated the all the slaves in the country.This helped a lot because then the slaves came to the north and fought the south with passion.
9: Benefits From President Lincoln
10: The north definitely benefited from Lincoln because he was anti slavery and came up with the Emancipation Proclamation. Lincoln believed in what the north believed in and made their hopes for the country come true.
11: The south didn't benefit from Lincoln because they were pro slaves. and when Lincoln put the Emancipation Proclamation all of their plantations had no workers because all the slaves were hired to work on their farms.
12: If Abe Lincoln had never been around, this country would be very different. | I think slavery would end like it did, but I also believe it would've lasted longer.
13: Life during the Civil War would be different without Lincoln because he had a very clear idea of how the country should run, and he executed that well with his intelligence.
14: Abe Lincoln is not alive because John Wilkes Booth killed him when we has watching a play. He thought Lincoln was helping the south.

Esme is a teeny tiny bit cross-eyed, but I never "fixed" that, I think it adds to her charm XD She is not very tall and not your typical, stick-thin character. Sadly, her voice is one of the vanilla female voices, which doesn't really fit >.< I gave her a custom combat voice though. If you want to see Esme ingame, visit my Youtube channel, she is my player character in a lot of my videos.

After a deserved victory at Match Race France where he only lost 5 from 21 races, it looked like business as usual in Langenargen for Damien Iehl (FRA) and his French Match Racing Team. The Frenchman didn't have it all his own way though having to come from behind in his opening match against Peter Gilmour (AUS) YANMAR Racing. He then benefited from a mistake by Eugeniy Neugodnikov (RUS) Team Synergy to claim his next scalp.
Against the Russian, Iehl was losing on the beat to M2 which had been changed due to a wind shift. Neugodnikov and Iehl rounded different windward marks - Neugodnikov the original red mark and Iehl the white alternative mark. Thinking Iehl was at fault, Neugodnikov displayed his red flag to protest but it was clear the confusion lay with the Russian who finished second and had no joy with his protest. A 2-0 scoreline and Iehl was now firmly in his stride, next defeating William Tiller (NZL) Full Metal Jacket Racing and Bjorn Hansen (SWE) Meinkonomen Sailing Team quick succession. A comfortable win against Jesper Radich (DEN) Adrian Lee & Partners in Flight 8 wrapped up a perfect day for Iehl - it's a performance that mirrors his opening day in France and will send yet another warning shot to his opponents.
It was a welcome return to form for Phil Robertson and his WAKA Racing team after struggling at the season opener in France. The postponement flag and course changes punctuated The Qualifying Session as the wind across Lake Constance continuously shifted and dipped, rising only to a light peak of 6 or 7 knots. However, Robertson seemed to judge the tricky conditions perfectly in all three of his opening races, catching the best of the patchy wind to lead Stefan Meister, Johnie Berntsson and Eric Monnin from start to finish.
Speaking about the start to his Match Race Germany campaign, Robertson said: "Losing a couple of early races in France cost us a top 8 finish there. It reminded us that the early races are as important as the later races and every result can come back to bite you. We've taken that on board which seems to have made us hungrier here."
Reading the shifts was clearly a key factor to winning on Lake Constance in the first Qualifying Session, but if anything the conditions meant clean manoeuvres and working the Bavaria 40S boats hard was equally important. This was reflected by Bruni's team who appeared well drilled in their victories against Mathieu Richard, Eric Monnin (SUI) Team Ocalys Corum and German qualifier Stefan Meister. Commenting after their great start to Match Race Germany, Bruni's pitman Pietro Mantovani, said:
"Our strategist did well to read the shifts in the short and long term but I also think manoeuvres were vital. It's really easy to lose speed on these boats so you have to move carefully and continually trim the sails well. It was nice work from the crew."
Iehl, Bruni and Robertson will be happy with their start here at Match Race Germany however the script for Qualifying is far from complete with 6 teams having only raced three flights in the first Qualifying Session. For the next chapter, look no further than Mathieu Richard (FRA) French Match Racing Team who is up next in the first two races of the second Qualifying Session when he will be keen to stamp his mark on this regatta and his 2011 Tour campaign.
The second Qualifying Session kicks off with an interviews with Johnie Berntsson and YANMAR's Kazuhiko Sofuku on the 'WMRT Morning Show' from 09.30 CET on http://www.wmrt.com on Thursday followed by live coverage of all the action between 13.00 and 15.00 CET. (Times dependant on racing conditions.)
A live blog will run on www.wmrt.com throughout the day to give flight by flight updates. Also follow the action on the WMRT Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/worldmatchracingtour and Twitter page http://twitter.com/worldmrt .

2009-10 Regular Season: 42-40
2009-10 Playoffs: N/A
Key Additions: Courtney Lee, Brad Miller, Patrick Patterson
Key Losses: Trevor Ariza
Projected Rotation Players: Luis Scola, Kevin Martin, Yao Ming, Aaron Brooks, Courtney Lee, Shane Battier, Kyle Lowry, Chase Budinger, Brad Miller, Chuck Hayes
Look for the Rockets to admit defeat (or at least consider it) on Yao Ming (and his expiring $17.7 million contract) ahead of February's trade deadline.
Let's be honest. Even if the Rockets' 24-minutes-per-game limit is able to keep Yao healthy for the entire upcoming season, it will be the exception, not the rule. A healthy 2010-11 will not mean that he's no longer injury prone.
Looking at the Rockets' roster, as presently constructed, it's clear that this is not only a front office that in interested in accumulating assets on its roster, but one that's prepared for life after Yao.
With matchup nightmare (and newly re-signed) Luis Scola crashing the boards and scoring from both the inside and the outside (to ~17 feet), surrounded by a group of shooters and penetrators/slashers that includes efficient scorer and potential All-Star Kevin Martin, Aaron Brooks, Shane Battier (also an excellent perimeter defender), Courtney Lee (also an excellent defender) and Chase Budinger, the Rockets have assembled a core that is one big body away from contention. It would be possible to argue that Yao is that piece, but only if the person making that argument has any trust is his ability to stay healthy for a extended period.
Despite a tentative reliance on Yao's presence, the 2010-11 Rocket are assembled as more of a competitive transition team than a legitimate contender. Not only is Yao a massive ($17.7M) expiring contract that can be parlayed into some top-flight talent, Battier and Jared Jeffries represent another ~$14.2 million in cap relief that non-contenders would gladly surrender legitimate talent to acquire. Thanks to the outstanding strategic approach of GM Darryl Morey and his team, the 2010-11 Rockets are a team in transition that will spare its fan base much of the pain normally associated with the retooling process.
Bottom line: Vegas has the over-under on regular seasons wins for the Rockets at 48.5. It's tough to see this team getting within 10 wins of this number. As good as Kevin Martin, Aaron Brooks and Luis Scola are (and they're pretty good), not one of this trio is cut out to be the best player on a ~50 –win team in a tough conference.
If it sounds like I'm dismissing the possibility that Yao can stay healthy and make a significant contribution to contender, it's because that's exactly what I'm doing. Yao has played more than 57 games once in the past five years, and there's no reason other than blind faith to believe that he'll do so this year. With an aging and far less effective Brad Miller behind him, it's tough to project the 2010-11 Rockets as much more than a 36-38-win team.

With so much conflicting advice out there I will only give evidence based advice, no fad diets or bias studies, which is why
Registered Dietitians are the GOLD STANDARD of Nutrition Care.
I aim to help you understand if you have any poor eating behaviour and re-educate you to have a positive food relationship. My approach is not about going on a diet, it is making small changes to your current lifestyle, so that you can adhere to these for life.
Think of it more as an education, a lifestyle makeover. I will develop a tailored approach that is suitable for you.
Whatever level of service you require can be provided, if you work better with meal plans, or whether you just need guidance on what foods to choose for dinner in a restaurant, or you require cooking lessons in your own home.
No one wants to be on a diet, or feel as if they have to go without. Food is one of life's greatest pleasures.
"To eat is a necessity, but to eat intelligently is an art"

As I read a recent Seth Godin post * it brought me back to my wine days and the insanity of distribution and the games played in the pursuit of making suppliers happy.
He laments not seeing any of his books in any airport bookstores during a whirlwind tour. After sharing this news with his publisher, "Someone wrote back, 'Seth, if you tell us which airports you'll be visiting, our salesforce says they will do their best to have your book in a place you can see it.'"
Clearly not what he was after.
The wine market often functions in this same dysfunctional way. Regional or national representatives come to town and the local distributor for the supplier's products tries to find out (or control) where the rep is staying and eating to guarantee the wines will be available. In some cases this is appropriate - go support those who are supporting you - but this is not always how it works.
What if the chosen restaurants have no interest in the products? What if the wines have never been presented? Then the give-aways begin. I remember a local rep for one of the two big wholesale companies in New Orleans walking into Martin Wine Cellar, where I worked, and offering us a free four case stack of $13 a bottle wine if we would display it for a few days while a market survey was conducted. He went further and told us whatever we sold could be profit for us and they would pick up the remainder next week.
Never mind the illegality of selling alcohol on consignment in Louisiana. Never mind that he knew no amount of sales was going to magically create a "permanent" stack of the wine in the store. The company was creating false success for the survey. They do deplete more bottles from inventory but they are not building a sustainable distribution model. They are building, as Seth says, a Potemkin village (the link is here because I had to look it up). I always pictured a set from a western movie, storefronts, but no insides, just support beams to keep the facades from falling over.
In restaurants, the same thing happens. "Could you feature this wine by the glass this week? We'll give you a case." Or perhaps, "We'll give you four bottles and reprint your list for you if you could add this wine for a few days." There is always this lonely, outsider grasp at hope that the wine will be so successful that the placement will remain and the outlet will actually order (and pay for) the wine in the future.
This is the teenager doing favors for someone they have a crush on. In my experience, these efforts go unrequited and your time and energy is much better spent doing almost anything else. Don't waste your limited resources on those turning a deaf ear, find prospects willing to listen and join your team. As Seth puts it: "Don't save the canary. Fix the coal mine."
* If you don't follow him, you should. He has a brilliant way of getting to the heart of the matter and focuses on distilling ideas down to simple concepts. Many of his posts are like snacks for my brain, a short read but plenty to consider. He is an impressive businessman, a programmer, an author, a traveler and explorer and, perhaps most important of all a questioner. I think of him as a paradigm of the new modern technological Renaissance man. Seth's Blog

Consider a probability space $(\Omega,\mathcal{F},P)$, a random Variable $X$ on that space, a $\sigma$-Algebra $\mathcal{G}$ and a $\mathcal{G}$-measurable random variable $A$. For some function: $f: \mathbb{R}^2 \mapsto \mathbb{R}$ consider the conditional expectation:
$C(\omega):= E[f(A,X)|\mathcal{G}](\omega)$
I am interested in the question, whether $C$ can be expressed using the function:
$g(a,\omega):= E[f(a,X)|\mathcal{G}](\omega)$
Such that: $C(\omega) = g(A(\omega),\omega)$ ?
Can you give me some hints on where to look and what to read, in order find out, if its possible and even derive some properties of $g$?

Going grungy with pan pastels ... plus a tutorial
I am also on a mission at the moment to use lots of my stash up that I have decided (for one reason or another) needs to either be cherished or alternatively is still too useful to throw away (and that includes papers I just don't know what to do with) .... so, with that in mind, I have altered a notebook.
Now ... this is the time I urge you to get a huge mug of coffee (or tea) as I have written a tutorial about how my project evolved and more importantly, I used up some of my "precious bits" ...... here we go ......
I have had this paper for eons and it is a good weight paper so that is the reason I have probably kept it but honestly, it does nothing for me .... sorry! So I have covered the front of my notebook with it using a wet glue. I should add that i did take my note book apart first.
Now I have seen something similar to this on Pinterest where people have used die cut alphabets but I have quite a few alphabet sticker sheets left over from projects and sometimes there are not enough letters to make the words/description I want but I still keep them (just in case). I have randomly selected letters and numbers to fill the front on the note book.
Next using Maimeri white gesso, I have covered everything. Don't panic if you can still see the paper or letters as they will soon be covered. My handy hint is that I always work on wax paper, you know the paper you use with your dies, as nothing ever sticks to it and it saves having to keep cleaning up my glass mat or craft mat.
Now the fun part ... I go around the edges with raw umber pan pastel making the very edges darker.
Next it's on to the metallic copper .... yum! I wipe my sponge clean on the wax paper (which I will use later).
and the final colour (for now) magenta pan pastel. You can now see all the letters and numbers again.
Taking the "Hearts flowers" stencil, I ink through it with a red brown versamark ink pad.
I then cover all in the ink with clear detail embossing powder and heat. It creates another textural element without making it too bulky.
I didn't waste the ink on the stencil either. I covered the rest of the stencil and ran it through my big shot, embossed with clear detail powder and it was ready for another project (which I have used on here)
After embossing the cover, i went over lightly again with metallic copper pan pastel which highlighted all the embossing powder.
Using various Studio 12 stamp sets, I stamped down one side of my cover with black Adirondack.
I said earlier that I wipe my sponges clean on my wax paper and this leaves me with a gorgeous translucent background. I have stamped Shabby Roses stamps from Studio 12 on the wax paper using black Adirondack ink pad. I then cut them out.
Using Maimeri matt gel, I stuck the roses down along the bottom edge of the cover and then liberally covered the whole front with the gel.
Before adding embellishment, I re-punched the holes so I knew what space I have left to further play with. I've used my Big Bit but any robust hole punch would do.
Although I randomly placed the letters and numbers, I also added a word to the mix and I chose "ME". This could be anything you wanted including your name. I have used a white GraphIt shaker pen and carefully went around the letter edges so that the "ME" really stood out.
Now adding all those yummy extras. I have used a selection of Dutch Doobadoo products covered with Perfect Medium, then pan pastels, Perfect Medium again and embossed with clear detail powder. I have added some Rusty Pickle embellishments to my embellishments. I should add that I found a huge bag full of Rusty Pickle metal embellishments that I had totally forgotten about .... that won't happen again, I assure you !!!
For the wings/feathers (from Dutch Doobadoo), I did the same treatment as above but added a Rusty Pickle page edger, secured with an eyelet. I adore how this has turned out and must do this again ...
I added the arrows, key and stars to the bottom of the cover and further embellished with Doodle Dewdrops, ribbon, elastic and Rusty Pickle embellies. On the "ME" I added some feather wings, buttons and Doodle Dewdrops (because I can ... hee, hee, hee). I did use my glue gun to glue these in place as did not want them falling off.
On the side of my notebook cover, I added a Dutch Doobadoo lock and surrounded it in a Rusty Pickle frame securing only one end with an eyelet. I used my glue gun to put this in place. In the other hole I have used the same gold elastic and hung my feather wings, the large star and a Rusty pickle letter "L". A sneaky little bit of ribbon to hid all my knots.
Phew, that's it folks and many thanks if you have read to the very end. Although this project seems labour intensive, I can say that it came together very quickly. As one thing was drying, I worked on another and so on and so on. The longest part was faffing about with the embellishments and where to put them!
I'm now going for a long lie down as my fingers desperately need a break. Have a great Sunday everyone and can't wait to see your grunge project.

by S. Jae-Jones
"All her life, Liesl has heard tales of the beautiful, dangerous Goblin King. They've enraptured her spirit and inspired her musical compositions. Now eighteen, Liesl can't help but feel that her musical dreams and childhood fantasies are slipping away.
But when her sister is taken by the Goblin King, Liesl must journey to the Underground to save her. Drawn to the strange, captivating world she finds – and the mysterious man who rules it – she soon faces an impossible decision. With time and the old laws working against her, Liesl must discover who she truly is before her fate is sealed."
I did not know anything about Wintersong when I decided to pre-order it, I may have judged by the cover (it is so pretty). But when it closer to release day I read the blurb on Goodreads and thought it sounded interesting, not my normal fantasy.
Liesl has been brought up, with her sister and brother, on bedtime stories from their Grandmother. Always about the Goblin King and the Underground. Liesl plays down in the goblin grove with a little boy, until Liesl has to grow up and help in the inn and she forgets about playing in the grove with the boy. But one day in the market Kathe and Liesl come across some fruit sellers, Liesl remembers her Grandmother's warning about goblin sellers, but it comes too late as Kathe has eaten from their fruit and is whisked away to the Underground.
Although it was not my normal read (fantasy but not one I would normally pick up) Wintersong was good. I cried for most of the end, I cried a few times before that as well. It did take a while for me to get into, mostly due to the style of writing, but once I did I did not want to put it down. There were plenty of twists and turns, just like the goblin realm.
My favourite characters were Liesl, Kathe, Josef and Der Erlkonig. Although there are some points when I did not like Kathe or Der Erlkonig. All the characters are well written, I like the different types of goblin and how they are similar but have differences as well.
My favourite part probably has to be the parts with Liesl and Der Erlkonig, although some of these were also my least favourite parts. I liked the bits talking about the music as well, having been a chorister, I can imagine the way the music flows from the description that is given.
Wintersong does end tied up as it is a standalone, however, I know have a load of questions of what happens to them afterwards.
While reading Wintersong, I described it as a girl trying to rescue her sister while not falling under the Goblin King's spell. I would recommend this book to adults, due to scenes of an adult nature. 4 out of 5.

BERLIN (Reuters Life!) - The German government is seeking a new home for a tapestry of a 12th century legend that was commissioned by Nazi Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels.
The tapestry, commissioned by Goebbels in 1943, disappeared for decades. But it has recently become property of the federal office for unresolved property issues after a drawn-out court battle, said a spokeswoman for the office.
The wall-hanging, which shows scenes from the Nibelungenlied, an epic 12th century yarn of dragon-slaying knights and stolen treasure, has picked up an equally mysterious past since its disappearance at the end of World War Two.
The nine square meter carpet was delivered to Goebbels's Ministry of Propaganda in 1945 in the last days of the war and fell briefly into Allied hands before it turned up at an antiques dealer in Dresden.
In the 1980s, Costa Cordalis, a Greek-born popular singer who had hits in Germany, bought the rug and smuggled it back to West Germany with the intention of making a profit.
"I didn't know it belonged to Goebbels," he told German daily, Bild.
Unable to shift the obscure piece, it remained in the singer's possession until 2007 when a fortune teller friend told him she had found a potential buyer, Cordalis told the paper.
But police seized the carpet from the singer on the grounds that it was state property, said a police spokesman.
The tapestry gathered dust in police vaults for a further two years until a court in Rottweil, southwestern Germany, ruled it was the former property of the Third Reich and therefore belonged to the state. But its future remains uncertain.
"We don't want to have it hanging around in our depot," a spokeswoman for the office told Reuters.
The authorities hope to find a home for the elaborate work at Berlin's German Historical Museum, which is considering whether it could accommodate the piece in its permanent collection.
Images from German legends and myths were commonly reproduced in Nazi art and propaganda, Otto Meyer, president of the German Historical Museum foundation said.
"The Niebelungen legend embodies Germanic virtues upon which the Nazis based their national idea, for example the idea of loyalty until death," Meyer said.
German composer Richard Wagner, greatly admired by Hitler, wrote a four part Ring-cycle opera based on the Nibelungenlied.

This year in grade 4, we got our own netbooks! Its great doing class work on my netbook.
Do you use a netbook or laptop at your school or work?
If so, what do you use it for?
My favourite flower is called a Blue Tiger Lily. It is a really pretty flower and I wish I had them in my garden. The Blue Tiger Lily is a type of oriental lily and originally came from China. It was then introduced to the United Kingdom in the 1800's and now you can see them all over the world. There are many other colours of Tiger Lily including orange, pink, cream and red. They look really lovely in flower arrangements or in a vase.
Do you have a favourite flower?
If so, what is it and why?
It is so close to Christmas! I can not wait until Christmas Eve when we wrap up other people's presents for the next day. This year we are having Christmas lunch at our house. I am hoping to get a grown-up jewellery box and a bookshelf for my room. Some Blingles would be nice too! I would like to say thank you to Santa, for all his hard work every year. Gee, those elves must be tired!
Do you celebrate Christmas?
Did you send a letter to Santa this year?
At school we are learning about toys and simple machines. This week we are going to build our own simple machine.We get to name our machines and the name for mine is "Secret Heart". We had to write very detailed instructions and draw a plan that had to be labelled. Also this week, we are going to Scienceworks to learn a bit more about this topic. Here are some examples of simple machines…..
Can you identify simple machines are at your house?
Can you write down some examples of simple machines in your kitchen and garage?
Today we went to Adventure Park for my Dad's work Christmas party. My sister and I had loads of fun.
Here's a list of the things we did….
It wasn't a hot day today so my sister and I wore our wetsuits to keep warm. Here's a picture of me in the Lazy River.
and my sister coming out of the water slide at Benito's Bay……
Have you been to Adventure Park?
If so, what was your favourite ride or activity?
Dancing is good for your health and keeps you fit. Classical ballet requires concentration because you are learning techniques. It makes you flexible, just like a rubber band! I love ballet and my dream is to become a ballerina or ballet teacher.
Do you like to dance?
What style of dance do you like?
My name is Dana and I transferred to Leopold Primary School at the end of last year. I'm in grade 3 this year and can't wait to start grade 4. I live with my Mum, Dad and my younger sister Lauren who will be in Grade 3 next year. We also have a big ginger cat and his name is Garfield!
One of my interests is classical ballet. I started when I was 5 and I now attend two classes each week. We have a big concert in October each year. My sister is also in the concert because she does Jazz/Tap classes at the same ballet school. I also like to swim and am currently at level 5.
Here is a picture of me….

Houston, tx 77003
The Sebbo Lamp came from a desire to repurpose defective circuits from the Sebbo Lights Kickstarter campaign. The housing is 3D printed with translucent ABS plastic allowing diffused light to shine through while accentuating the structure of the 3D printing process. Since the lamps are made using the Sebbo circuit they have the dual purpose of shining simply white light onto your favorite book or turning your bedroom into a mini party with the various built in light patterns.
The Sebbo Lamp can be mounted onto a wall or attached to a stand for a table top application. We envision the Sebbo Lamp would function great as a night/bedside lamp, desk lamp or even a cluster of them hanging as a chandelier.

text: Ruffled Flower pattern for The Cloth Parcel, and I just had to share! I love how this pattern turned out. We added an elastic headband option to the pattern, along with instructions for using regular cotton material. Originally, this pattern was written for using denim material, like in our Scarf and Ruffled Flower craft kit. I thought it could use a little update, since it was one of our very first patterns written just about a year ago. In the last year, we have learned quite a bit about how we like our patterns to be laid out, taking product photos, and how to write things to be a little more readable.

FRANK Water in Uttar Pradesh
What's the challenge?
Agra is a city of 1.3 million people, famous for being the home of the Taj Mahal. The city's water supply is currently dependent on the river Yamuna, which provides a limited supply of polluted, undrinkable water. Those who can afford it purchase bottled water or household filters, whilst people living in one of the city's 432 slums generally either tap groundwater supplies or depend on private tankers, which bring in water from outside of the city.
Currently, the slums aren't connected to the piped water network, and the groundwater is highly polluted by local industries. Communities in this area depend entirely on water from unregulated private tankers.
What's FRANK Water doing about it?
The project aims to reach 500 households (3000 people) in two particularly marginalised slums with access to a sustainable supply of safe water, along with improved sanitation and drainage.
Working with NGO Partner CURE India over three years, FRANK Water hopes to revive traditional systems of resource management by combining current techniques, including GIS mapping, water testing and participatory learning and action tools, with traditional knowledge of rainwater harvesting, groundwater recharge and water conservation.
Where we're up to
In 2016-17, Cure sought to promote collective action towards rainwater harvesting (RWH). We built and installed two large rainwater harvesting (RWH) units at Tedhi Bagiya School which can store up to 1,15,000 litres. Children at the school have started drinking the water from the RWH and staff have started using rainwater for cooking. The amount of water the school buys from tankers is reduced, saving 2000 Rs per month. A second school, having seen the success has approached Cure for technical help.
Six households installed their own RWH, taking the total number of households with RWH to 26.
Thanks to education from the Waste Watch group, 70 households have stopped dumping their rubbish in the communal park. Seven members of the Waste Watch Group have made an application for funding for toilets from the Government's Clean India campaign.
The road that circles the pond has been repaved and raised to prevent flooding and reduce water logging.

Corsair K95 Platinum Speed Review
Up Close
Published: 6th February 2017 | Source: Corsair | Price: £194.99 |
Up Close
The Corsair Gaming packaging has always been attention grabbing thanks to the yellow flashes that differentiate it from the world of all black with a tiny bit of red peripherals that have come to dominate the packaging market. A quick perusal of the reverse side shows how much Corsair have squeezed onto the K95 Platinum. Programmable macro keys, per key lighting, onboard profiles, dedicated media keys. If it has ever appeared on a mechanical gaming keyboard then it is to be found here on the K95 Platinum. Inside the box Corsair have provided a proper wrist rest with a reversible rubber portion. It's not as comforting as a gel wrist rest is, but it's a darn good wrist rest given the hard plastic that usually gets included with keyboards. Corsair have also included a set of curved and textured keys for those of you more likely to game than type with the K95 Platinum. The textured space bar takes a little getting used to, but otherwise wherever you look you find quality - from the six macro keys on the left hand side to the all metal volume wheel on the right. It's a product that feels just as high-end as it looks. The braided cable alone, with its tight but soft feel braid and extremely thick dimensions should clue you in to what to expect from this upgraded K95.

Go ahead and listen one more time if needed.
And Gossip In The Grain comes out on Tuesday.
Friday October 3, 2008 I went to see Back Door Slam. The venue was The Hotel Utah, and I had never been there before.
Photo courtesy of "Bluezman" Thanks, Bluezman!
The place turned out to be nothing but a little bar with a stage and two tiny audience spaces: one on the floor and one on a balcony above the stage. Both audience spaces were hardly larger than the stage itself. The guy at the door said that the place sold out…120 tickets.
Being in that place was more like being on the stage with the band than being in the audience. Very cool.
They opened with Outside Woman Blues. There was a problem with the amp and another had to be brought in before the next song. And that's kinda how the night went: It was a night of blistering music in a small space with some technical problems that, to me anyway, just lent more charm to the evening.
I also have to say that I have never met a nicer bunch of people than the fans I met at this show.
And the show was great. I will never forget the blur of Davy's hands on the guitar that night… it was something else. Amazing. The real deal.
Set list, with some audio samples from the show, recorded by yours truly:
1) Outside Women Blues (Cream)
2) Heavy On My Head
3) Riding With The King (John Hiatt)
4) Gotta Leave
5) Almost Cut My Hair (Crosby, Stills and Nash)
6) Tear Down The Walls (new original song)
7) Come Home (It seems Davy kicked so much ass on this song he actually injured himself. Somebody in the audience has the bloody guitar pic to prove it…)
8 ) Hoochie Coochie Man (Willie Dixon)
9) Back Door Slam (Robert Cray)
10) Country Girl (new original song)
11) Won't Let It happen (new original song)
12) It'll All Come Around
13) What In The World
14) Been Down So Long>>unknown>>Red House
Downloads of the show in Flac or MP3 will be along soon.
Also, do go see my friend Boolz for a download of the Denver BDS show that happened earlier in the week!

Recognizing letters is the first step to learning to read. Give your kindergartner a head start with these alphabet worksheets that will have kids cozying up with letters A–Z in no time. Coloring, tracing letters, connect-the-dots, word searches, and matching activities are just some of the ways kids can familiarize themselves with both upper and lowercase letters of the alphabet on their road to reading fluency.
This year I have a few very simple goals, for my almost four-year-olds. Our first goal is to have a better understanding of time. I have set up a calendar in our school room, and we will be focusing on days, months, dates, and words like yesterday, today, tomorrow, week and month. This Beginning Sounds Worksheets is sure to help him get a firm foundation in phonics: 1. During our math time, we will be focusing on number recognition and one-to-one correspondence up to 10. 2. I want them to be able to recognize and spell their names. 3. Developing fine motor skills such as cutting and holding pencils are high on my list. 4. And of course, I plan on conquering the alphabet.

The Apalachee High School volleyball team defeated Sequoyah in the opening round of the AAAAA state tournament Thursday.
The Lady Wildcats, who were coming off their Area 8-AAAAA title, was actually considered the underdog against the Lady Chiefs. Sequoyah was ranked No. 8 in the state and emerged as the No. 4 seed from Area 7-AAAAA.
AHS (39-9) took a 25-19 win in the first game before falling 30-20. The Lady Wildcats then closed out the first round contest with 25-23 and 25-21 victories.
"Sequoyah is a great team and has a great program," said AHS coach Joey Alfonso. "They were missing a couple of key players tonight but they were still very strong. It shows you the depth they have to still give us a run."

I don't know why. I don't know why I find this kind of stuff. But this song is everything I feel, and I feel like I needed to share it with you.
This week has just been awful. It all started a week ago today. I guess since it's passed midnight though, a week ago yesterday.
I remember it like it was a week ago yesterday–
I was having a bad day. I'd been thinking about you a lot over the past couple days. Everything was just building. My best friend at work was going through a lot of stuff with a boy too, and I guess our lives just touched eachother that way.
We both came in to visit our other friend. I guess we didn't want to be all alone that night. We brought her supper and gossiped and had a good time on her break, and even after her break. I feel so much at home there. I always wish we were still together, and you would come in and kiss me and smile at me like all my coworker's boyfriends do.
You texted me later that night. It was so weird. And shocking. I didn't really know what to do or say, so my coworker and I went outside and threw snowballs at the street sign for awhile. It helped her burn off stress a lot more than it helped me.
When I finally decided to text you back, things were pretty normal. You were being defensive and saying I was accusing you of lying and wanting to get back together with me. I truly was confused, and felt like you were curious about lingering feelings left behind. I feel like that's a reasonable fear though. How many other exes go out of their way to get back in touch every couple of months? Not to mention the fact we almost had sex when things got carried away after seeing eachother again early in the fall. When you were already dating someone new…
I'm glad I conviced you to keep in touch again this time. I'm glad I saw you again. I'm glad I had a real conversation with you again, for the first time since before you left me. And now I finally know what is going on.
All this time. All this time you made me feel like I was bad for you. Like I let you down. Like I made mistakes and hurt you. All this time I've tried to change for you, and I've cried for you, and I've wanted a second chance with you. All this time you knew what was really up, and you never bothered to give me the honest truth.
I don't know how you can love someone, and know that you're a perfect fit, and be able to talk and enjoy eachother's company for hours, and yet still need to have fun and sleep with other people. How do you even tell me that sleeping with your new partner isn't as meaningful or good as it was with me? How do you expect that that makes me feel better about everything? How do you possibly sleep with another person who you don't love or connect with when someone you do love and connect with has been waiting for you all along to come back?
You're cruel. You even go so far as to text me the next night saying that you can't sleep because you're thinking about me and how much you miss me and want me there with you. And then when I try and reach out to your feelings, you abruptly tell me you're not attracted to me anymore and were only with me when you felt I needed you.
To think, that you think our relationship was ever about what I needed. It was always about what you needed. You needed strength and security in someone's feelings for you. You needed to feel validated. You needed to feel important. I tried giving you everything you needed, and I only became selfish when I needed you to let me be a part of your life. That is all I needed. All I ever needed from you was to be acknowledged as someone important to you.
This is crazy, that I keep loving you after how reckless you are with my feelings. You care so little about the way your words affect me. They destroy me.
All I have left of the you I fell in love with is memories. All my pictures are gone. I can't listen to our song anymore. I can't feel your heart anymore.
When I used to lay on your chest, in your arms, everything made sense. Nothing mattered to me about how little I felt you were letting me be involved in your life, because you were still holding me close to it.
When we used to cuddle in bed or on the couch and do nothing but talk all day and night, I felt safe. I felt like I found myself in someone, and that we would grow in eachother's strength and weakness forever.
When I used to kiss your lips, I felt purpose. I would pull away and look at your soft, closed eyes. Everything else seemed inconsequential, knowing that my kiss made you feel the way it made you feel. I felt needed.
When I used to smile at you, and see you smiling back, I felt warm. I felt you understood what every moment with you meant to me.
When I used to look into your eyes, I felt incredible. I felt like I could glimpse the world though your eyes, even though you never shared it through your lips.
And even when we fought, I felt like someone was passionate enough about me to stand by my anger and my insecurities and be solid ground for my air of emotions.
When you loved me, everything was beautiful. Every hour spent together lives within my heart. And I could go on quoting the whole song, but lets not romanticise what is done. I found love for you in realizing that everything I thought I wanted for myself had fallen short of what I needed to be for you. And you left me in realizing that everything you thought you needed to be for me had fallen short of what you really wanted for yourself.

Saint-Mammès is a commune in the Seine-et-Marne department in the Île-de-France region in north-central France, in the metropolitan area of Paris. It is located 61 kilometres (38 mi) south-southeast of the centre of Paris.It is situated at the confluence of the Seine and the Loing rivers. The Seine borders the northern boundaries of the city, while the Loing borders on the west.
Inhabitants of Saint-Mammès are called Mammèsiens. In 2009, there were 3284 inhabitants.
Climate and Geology
Like the rest of Ile de France, Saint Mammès has an oceanic climate. The oceanic temperatures extend into the mainland and result in an average temperature of 64 °F in the summer and 43 °F in the winter, with frequent rain during all seasons and varying temperatures but with weaker rains than the coasts, as well as some points of influence from continental weather at the height of the seasons.
The borders of the community span about 603 acres; the altitude varies between 42 and 87 meters.[1]
Saint-Mammès is served by one station on the Transilien Paris-Lyon rail line that ends at Montereau via the Moret-Veneux-les-Sablons station in Zone 5 for Navigo cards.[2]
The city is also served by the Comète bus (lines 3-6-8) that is mainly used by students who live in the nearby communities.
Urban Planning
It is predominantly suburban housing, the town having few larger sets. The type of habitation varies between the different quarters. The city center is characterized by small homes with no more than two floors, situated close together and framed by small streets.
The commercial and business zones are, for the most part, concentrated near the docks of the Seine.
The city does not have officially designated zones.[3] Nevertheless you can distinguish some areas: the place of the Bulge and the Seine in the northwest, the Palottes in the west, the Guettes and Berville residences, situated respectively in the outskirts of the city and next to the train station, the Trop Chères area in the north, the city center, and the commercial zones as well as the suburban districts like the Sablonnières, Monthièvres, Roberies, Longues Raies, and Fonds.

Courting disaster
The Federal Court of Australia sits in all state capitals. Brisbane's is on North Quay, a step away from the northern access to the Kurilpa Bridge. So, after a morning of brain-bending legal technicalities, you can wander across this striking construction – the largest hybrid tensegrity* bridge in the world – and grab a bite of lunch at one of my favourite riverside attractions, the Gallery of Modern Art.
Over two days, the Australian Conservation Foundation (ACF), represented by the Environmental Defenders Office Queensland (EDO CEO Jo-Anne Bragg and ACF CEO Kelly O'Shanassy met the press outside court, top) made its case for the review of the decision by the Federal Minister for the Environment, Greg Hunt, to approve Adani Mining's proposed coal mine in the Galilee Basin of Central Queensland and its associated infrastructure. QCs representing both the Minister and the coal company defended his position.
The Minister's approval of Adani's Carmichael mine had already been challenged last year in the Federal Court of New South Wales and 'set aside'. It was alleged that Hunt had failed to consider global greenhouse gas emissions and Adani's history of environmental negligence, but it was his lack of regard for conservation advice concerning two Federally-listed Vulnerable species – the Yakka Skink and the Ornamental Snake – that was the undoing of his decision in August 2015.
On 15 October, however, Minister Hunt announced his re-approval of the mine with additional compliance conditions.
Round 2 of the Carmichael mine approval battle was staged in Brisbane last week. ACF alleged that the Minister had failed to comply with specific legislative requirements under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act (EPBC).
The Great Barrier Reef is included in the World Heritage List because of its 'outstanding universal values'. Australia is a signatory to the World Heritage Convention and is therefore obliged 'to ensure that effective and active measures are taken' for its protection, including appropriate legal measures necessary for that purpose – primarily by means of the EPBC Act. The ACF argued that the Minister, when deciding whether or not to approve Adani's mine, should have acted consistently with Australia's obligation under the World Heritage Convention, and attempted to quantify the likely impact of the combustion emissions generated by Adani's coal on the world heritage values of the GBR.
The two greatest threats to the GBR are from the warming and acidification of seawater resulting from the increased greenhouse gas emissions associated with anthropogenic climate change. The Outlook Report 2014 produced by the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority rated these threats as 'almost certain' to occur and to have 'catastrophic' consequences.
After his first decision was set aside in August last year, the Minister received new material about the impact of greenhouse gas emissions on the GBR. The first few months of 2016 have seen the worst bleaching event ever recorded, with more than 90 per cent of the northernmost reaches of the Reef being effected, eliciting global opprobrium.
Projects that are likely to have a significant impact on matters of national environmental import must be appraised by the Australian government under Part 8 (assessment) of the EPBC Act. Minister Hunt, however, took guidance from the Co-ordinator General (CG) of Queensland under a bilateral agreement between the state and federal governments. Adani had produced an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for consideration by the CG, who then prepared an Assessment Report for Minister Hunt.
The problem with an EIS is that it does not require consideration of Scope 3 emissions** arising from the transportation of the coal (during its export, not from mine to port) and combustion of the coal at its destination. Combustion emissions would appear, given the global scientific consensus and the perceived effects on the Reef of increased ocean temperatures, to have a 'relevance impact' in this case.
Much debate over the two days in court centred on Section 527E of the EPBC Act, concerning the 'indirect consequences' of an action. You can read about this in greater detail than I could adequately explain here. Justice Griffiths soon realised that the 'unpacking', or interpretation, of 527E was at the heart of the case.
The ACF contended that the Minister had asked himself the wrong questions about the indirect consequences of the action of developing the mine, not based on criteria sourced from the EPBC Act, and therefore had not considered the indirect consequences that pose the greatest threat to the GBR.
The Minister dismissed the relevance of Scope 3 emissions in the context of Australia's national emissions inventory, and determined that any impact attributable to the Carmichael coal's emissions was speculative. He concluded that it was 'difficult to identify the necessary relationship between the taking of the action [of developing the mine] and any possible impacts on relevant matters of national environmental significance which might occur as a result of an increase in global temperature'. The Minister's counsel conceded that 'the necessary relationship' was Hunt's 'shorthand' for substantive cause. Justice Griffiths found it curious that the Minister, with Departmental advice (and lists of mandatory considerations and other factors to be taken into account), wasn't more sensitive to the importance of clarity in his deliberations and direct reference to 527E.
In the absence of certainty, the Minister should have applied the precautionary principle: this was the ACF's third ground for bringing the case. Minister Hunt's elimination of the 'impact level' of assessment at an early stage of his considerations meant that an 'active intellectual engagement' failed to occur at a later stage in the process. His inability to establish a substantive cause between the action and the impacts meant he was under no obligation to consider 527E, his counsel concluded, because in his opinion there were no impacts.
I have attended several cases in which environmental protectors sought to compel government to exercise caution in the face of uncertainty, whether concerning the recharge of groundwater, the location of core populations of threatened species, or the global impact of burning massive amounts of Queensland coal, no matter where, on this nation's beloved Barrier Reef. What all these cases have highlighted, without exception, is that old legislation is inadequate at a time when rapid transition to a climatically changing world is imperative.
Justice Griffiths will announce his decision in three to six months. He seemed a reasonable man, so I live in hope.
* defined as 'a stable three-dimensional structure consisting of members under tension that are contiguous and members under compression that are not; the characteristic property of such a structure'
** as defined under the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, an internationally recognised accounting system for the measurement, reporting and management of greenhouse gas emissions

Dear mum and dad
I hope you are fine. On my side, so far so good. I have started my second term and thanks to sport, Ive got a more important scholarship thanlast year.
I have some difficulties in Biology, the teacher is odd and he doesn't explain certain things very well, so sometimes I don't understand! But, I tryto make up for it in literature (I read a Moliere's book "Le malade imaginaire" in French, it's fabulous, I recommended it to Mum), and mathematics is myfavourite subject. If I stay in Langford for 2 years, I think i might take maths in speciality. Otherwise I hope to pass my exams successfully.
In sport, I continueswimming everyday at 7:00pm. Thanks to my results, my sport's teacher promised me that he will integrate me into the academic year in a month, I'm so excited !This is the first that i feel useful! I hope your proud of me.
Im still working in Starbucks Coffee apart from the week-end, the boss is strict but the work iseasy and I do get paid very well. A friend works with me on Fridays, and after work we go to a bar where musicians play blues music. It's so relaxing!
Yesterday, Iwent shopping with Jessica, my bestfriend because I needed a new jumper and new shoes. She helped me, I'm sure you will like it! She is English with long blondhair and blue eyes, she is so cute!
How is the family ? What's the weather like in Delhi ? Here, it's sunny, a beautiful spring sun.
I look forward to seeingyou, even though everythings fine i do miss you.
I gotta go, Im going to see a criket game with my friends, I hope to hear from you soon.
Lots of love,
