SUBJECTS: Israel; High Court
SUBJECTS: Israel; High Court
LAURA JAYES, HOST: We find the Shadow Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus in Jerusalem this afternoon, Mark Dreyfus thank you so much for your time. I know it's very early morning there, it looks like a lovely day in Jerusalem though. I do want to ask you first about the visit. We know that Bill Shorten and Labor more broadly are more pushing for a Palestinian state. We know Prime Minister Netanyahu is quite conservative on that front and he was in Sydney not that long ago saying that 'what does a two-state solution actually mean?' So can you just clarify Labor's position for us?
MARK DREYFUS, SHADOW ATTORNEY-GENERAL: Thanks for having me Laura and yes it is a lovely day here in Jerusalem. The Labor Party's position is very clear. The Labor Party at our national conference in July 2015 voted again to support a two-state solution. What that means is secure borders for two states, a state of Israel and a state of Palestine, existing with each other at peace. We are wanting to see a resumption of peace negotiations. And I don't think we could be clearer than that, that's been the policy of the Australian Labor Party now for many years, it remains the policy of federal Labor.
JAYES: We did see Binyamin Netanyahu when he was in Sydney slap down the likes of Bob Carr, Kevin Rudd, Bob Hawke who have been quite critical of his leadership. Do you take his point in saying yes a two-state solution is a great headline but when it comes down to the detail and actually working this out this is something the Palestinians have been working against so it's difficult to see how that might happen. I might ask you a more broad question when it comes to that – do you think the likes of Bob Hawke, Bob Carr, Kevin Rudd need to be a little bit more realistic about what's happening on Israel's borders?
DREYFUS: I think what is clear, and Penny Wong our foreign affairs spokesperson has commented on this in the past, is that Australia is not going to be a party to these peace negotiations. The parties are the people of Palestine, the organisations that represent the people of Palestine, and the state of Israel. And it's going to be for them to reach the lasting peace that I think everybody in the world would like to see brought about to bring an end to a very very long-running, bitter conflict. It's – we need to get the Australian role in this in perspective. Which is that at best, Australia can only play a very very minor role, if any role at all, in bringing about those peace negotiations recommencing, or bringing about a two-state solution.
JAYES: Yes we're certainly not going to resolve the Palestinian crisis from here in Australia, nor are we going to do that in this interview. So Mark Dreyfus QC I want to ask you about the constitution. Not section 44, but section 64 of the constitution now. Labor has released advice today saying that up to 100 decisions made by Barnaby Joyce and Fiona Nash could be under a cloud. So can you just clarify what is that advice and are you willing to refer it to the High Court?
DREYFUS: It's not a matter for Labor to refer this to the High Court. This is yet another aspect of the chaos caused by this incompetent government - by in fact Barnaby Joyce's recklessness, Fiona Nash's recklessness and incompetence in standing for election while they were ineligible to be elected as members of Parliament. The consequence in the case of those two members of Parliament is that their time, their lawful time as ministers under the constitution according to section 64 came to an end in mid-October last year. So for more than a year, or in fact for a little over a year, Barnaby Joyce and Fiona Nash have not been lawfully ministers of the Commonwealth and that throws into question more than 100 decisions that they have made as ministers. It's not for federal Labor to be rushing off to the High Court of Australia, it's for the government – I'd first of all say the government should never have run this risk in the first place. Extraordinary conduct on the part of a responsible government which has proved to be actually irresponsible. Whether any of those decisions are going to be challenged is a matter for the people affected by those decisions, and we've learned today from the acting Prime Minister that the Attorney-General is now rightly looking at some of those decisions. There's clearly more to come out about this.
JAYES: Sure but many decisions are actually made by cabinet which those ministers were a part of. Are you saying that the decisions made by cabinet are under a cloud? Or are you just talking about specific things that individual minister have signed off on?
DREYFUS: Every decision made under an Act of Parliament by either of these ministers is potentially now able to be challenged. And it doesn't matter whether or not it went to cabinet, this is just a further bit of smokescreen from the government. This is a government that likes to say, 'oh none of that matters' or 'don't worry about that' – it's an extraordinary attitude. A reckless, a cavalier attitude that this government has shown to the constitution, to the rule of law, ministerial responsibility. That was their effort last week. That's been thrown out the window as well. The government needs to come clean – the government needs to say which decisions are potentially affected, what are they going to do about it, own up to whether or not anyone is going to challenge them. Some of them obviously may be minor decisions but some of them are extremely important decisions. Water allocation might be one among them. And this is a mess entirely of the government's making. The government should never have allowed Mr Joyce and Fiona Nash to continue in their ministerial positions from the instant that there was any doubt about their eligibility to serve in Parliament.
JAYES: What about – Barnaby Joyce has responded to this today saying that essentially by you challenging this you are just playing into the hands of him winning a by-election, a bit of political spin there perhaps on his part. But he says as he moves around the electorate, people think it's quite ridiculous that he has been seen to be a dual citizen. But of course the High Court had a different opinion of that altogether. But the government is moving to perhaps make some amendments to the Citizenship Act to make sure that this cannot happen again. Would Labor support those amendments?
DREYFUS: To go back to your question, the first part of your question, it's Barnaby Joyce that's behaved in the ridiculous manner here. It's Barnaby Joyce that's been reckless, and incompetent in the way in which he stood for Parliament. Reckless and incompetent in the way he continued as a minister. And for him to simply brush this away demonstrates contempt for the Australian constitution. Not what you would expect from a conservative member of Parliament. And his latest suggestion that we should have some kind of omnibus referendum where we have multiple questions put to the Australian people at a referendum – he's even thrown in that he wants the republic considered at a referendum. What is he talking about, one is tempted to say, and is this now government policy that we're going to have some large referendum including changing this section about citizenship which apparently he wants to change so as to say 'this should never have happened, I should never have been embarrassed by my own incompetence'. I think actually there are many more urgent changes that we might consider making to the constitution well ahead of changing the citizenship provision in section 44. Starting with constitutional recognition for Indigenous people. And I'd agree with Barnaby Joyce, the republic would be a lot more urgent than changing the citizenship provision. Speaking for myself, I don't think there's a difficulty with people who stand for election to our Parliament, a very high honour and a great responsibility, going to the trouble of checking whether they are in fact dual citizens before they stand for election. That's what Barnaby Joyce failed to do, he is rightly massively embarrassed by his own recklessness and incompetence, and for him to suggest 'oh let's change the constitution because of my recklessness and incompetence', other members of Parliament have dealt with this. Particularly since 1992 when the High Court gave a very very clear ruling in Sykes & Cleary, I don't see why we shouldn't continue to go on dealing with it simply by going and investigating if you're in any doubt about your dual citizenship status. And making sure you are not a citizen of another country. That's what he failed to do.
JAYES: Mark Dreyfus just one final question on the Solicitor-General Stephen Donaghue. If his advice was so strong to the Prime Minister, how can his ongoing position be tenable?
DREYFUS: We don't know that his advice was so strong. What we do know is that the Prime Minister was extraordinarily arrogant with the ringing and memorable phrase 'the High Court will so hold'. Which at the time it was uttered sounded like a threat to the High Court. And ever since, right up to the judgement the Prime Minister was asserting that he had some advice from the Solicitor-General Stephen Donaghue. Stephen is an eminent Australian lawyer. I have no doubts as to his competence, no doubts as to his integrity. I have very many doubts about the competence and integrity of the Prime Minister. I don't believe for one moment that the advice that he got from Stephen Donaghue was as strong or to the effect that he has implied it was. I would join in the calls that have been made for the release of this advice from the Solicitor-General. It's very important that the Australian people be able to judge for themselves whether the Prime Minister was in fact concealing the doubts that I actually think in all likelihood the Solicitor-General expressed in the opinion he gave. So let's see that advice and I'm calling on the government to release it straight away.
JAYES: I think we'd all like to see that advice. Mark Dreyfus thank you for joining us live from Jerusalem this afternoon.

Let Basarwa be
The recent arrest of eleven Basarwa tribesmen on charges of illegal hunting in the Central Game Reserve poses some serious problems as far as the future of the Basarwa and that of Basarwa is concerned.
This is particularly so if we acknowledge the existence of the Basarwa as indigenous peoples and the CKGR as a government protected area. The position of our government somewhat assumes that the protected areas are in conflict with the rights and traditions of indigenous peoples on their terrestrial domains. Based on such premises, one can understand the Government's decision to have Basarwa moved out of the CKGR, a move which is purely unsustainable as far as environmental management is concerned.
The reality, however, is that where indigenous and traditional peoples are encouraged to develop an interest in the conservation and traditional use of their lands and other resources, and their fundamental human rights are accorded respect, conflict need not arise between people's rights and interests.
And protected area's objectives, with the understanding of the concept of Sustainable Development and several international agreements of the IUCN and WWF, the recognition is that, "the rights of indigenous and other traditional people's inhabiting the protected areas must be respected by promoting and allowing their full participation in co-management of resources in a way that would not affect or undermine the objectives of the CKGR."
To that end our government should recognize Basarwa as rightful equal partners in the development and implementation of conservation strategies that affect their lands and other resources, and in particular, the establishment and rights of protected areas.
Until this realization dawns upon our government we are continuously going to witness the bitter struggle between officials on one hand and Basarwa on the other in their quest to sustain their livelihoods within the protected areas of CKGR as they have done for generations after generation.
There are lessons to be learnt from global perspectives as far as the rights of Basarwa are concerned. There are living examples of cases that demonstrate experience in natural resources management within the protected areas which overlap with indigenous people's lands. These include the Wood Buffalo National Park in Canada; the Lapponian Area in Sweden; the Sime Mountain National Park in Ethiopia; the Kakadu National Park in Australia - the list is endless.
The most important lessons that can be drawn from these case studies that are applicable to the CKGR and Basarwa are that; where indigenous peoples' participation in management has taken place early in the planning process, there have been benefits for both the indigenous people and the management authorities, and secondly, the wider the participation of the indigenous peoples in all aspects of management, the less likely is that conflicts will arise.

The Beauty Product I Cannot Live Without - Laila-Jean Washington
Laila-Jean Washington is a natural hair and lifestyle vlogger known as Neffy FroFro who shares her loves and thoughts on Fusions of Culture. She has been since 2011 as an outlet to share her experience in transitioning to natural hair and since then she has turned into a bit of an internet sensation. Laila will be hosting a workshop at Curlvolution on 23rd May with Pelumi from Care for Your Hair on how to succeed at Blogging. Laila-Jean took time out to tell us about the beauty product she cannot live without. The beauty product I cannot live without is Camile Rose Curl Maker. I first tried this product about two years ago when it was sent to me to review. Initially, I used it as gel to smooth the updos and buns until I discovered how perfect it was for my wash n go's. I'm an occasional wash n go wearer so luckily for me not too often. The product is pretty pricey so I keep it for when I'm feeling fancy. I currently have two and one is almost done...*welp*
I keep the Curl Maker in my bedroom with my luxury hair products - the things I love to use but hate to see finished. A little goes a very long way, it's been two years and I've only had three bottles. I love how the product smooths and clumps my curls together while maintaining its volume when dry. My hair also stays extremely soft and moisturised. As far as wash n go products go, I've hit the jackpot, all I need now is an endless supply of product. Preferably for free :).

Weakening profitability and lackluster business confidence for the coming months have led more enterprises to cut their payrolls.
Over the past decade or more, companies' main solution for difficulties has been to reduce costs through voluntary redundancy programs. Early retirees are usually paid a lump sum in addition to statutory severance pay.
In the past, there were many workers in their 50s who readily accepted the management's deal to accept 200 million won ($118,000) to 300 million won as compensation for leaving work early. And some of the retirees – after taking huge bonuses, were found to have simply relocated to rival companies or subcontractors.
Some of them used their bonuses to start up their own small businesses.
The current situation surrounding the voluntary redundancies has changed: The increase in bonus payments generally lags behind inflation, and while in the past it was workers in their 50s, now those in their early 40s have found themselves pressured to accept voluntary redundancy.
According to Statistics Korea, the number of unemployed people surged to 973,000 as of October 2018, the highest since Korea suffered in the aftermath of the Asian financial crisis 19 years ago.
|(Korea Herald)
While the number of unemployed people increased by about 79,000 from a year earlier, those in their 40s saw the biggest on-year increase of 35,000, or 27.5 percent. Those in their 50s made up the the second-worst affected age-group with 30,000, or 23.1 percent.
According to a research report from Shinhan Bank, a large portion of the households in their 40s underwent a rapid loss of income. Of those in their 40s suffering a loss of income, 38 percent of those surveyed picked retirement or layoffs as the main reason for their financial woes, followed by a pay-cut from the economic slowdown with 29 percent and small-business failure with 13 percent.
The average reduction in income of the surveyed households headed by people in their 40s who had lost their jobs or who had spouses who had been laid off was 2.48 million won.
More than a half of those middle-aged households, 55 percent, had failed to brace for their earnings' decline in advance, according to the bank's report.
And middle age workers face more layoffs, as manpower restructuring via voluntary redundancy programs is actively underway in the conglomerate-based manufacturing and financial sector.
LG Display has accepted applications for early redundancy, for the first time from assembly line workers, while its signature liquid crystal display segment has faced a tough challenge from Chinese manufacturers. A news provider claimed that about 2,000 employees had tendered applications to resign.
Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering is expected to cut its 9,900-strong workforce by about 900, as it had pledged to cut the payroll to 9,000. The company's creditors are reportedly reviewing its restructuring scheme.
In the financial sector, Hyundai Card is considering cutting its workforce by about 200 and shedding another 200 staff from its affiliates. The credit card issuer saw its consolidated net profit in the first half of 2018 drop 40.9 percent on-year from 130.8 billion won to 77.3 billion won. While some other credit card firms are poised to follow suit, banks such as Woori, Shinhan and Hana also issued voluntary redundancies over the past few months.
Despite the news that more and more self-employed people are closing down their businesses, middle-aged people who lose their jobs have no choice but to tap the risky micro-business market, according to market insiders.
Sejong University professor Lee Sung-hoo said that the core factor for difficulties in the self-employed is "oversupply."
Kang Min-woo in his 40s, who owns a private educational institute in Incheon, said he "has witnessed a number of failures of those, who had founded private institutes without any instructor career at private institutes."

I know it's going to take me awhile to find my groove with this new project. That's another nice difference between this year and last. This time around, I have a little experience and know what to expect. I know that it takes time to get into a daily routine with it. There's no need to panic that my dining room/studio looks like a tornado hit. Soon I'll figure out what supplies I need daily and find little homes for them so that everything is accessible.
I also keep reminding myself that what my painting looks like today may not be at all how my paintings will look in June or November. (Hard evidence day 2 of 2014 vs. day 302 ) It's a process and I'm just beginning.
Today's painting is acrylic on 6x6 stretched canvas. Here's a close up along with some words by Thad. He is so good at coming up with these. I'm thinking maybe I can get him to keep doing them on weekends and holidays or any other time that he's home while I'm painting.
Another day of greys and browns
And ice upon the frozen ground.
Past bent and broken springtime stalks
I skated though my morning walk.
Today I put together a gallery page where I'll post a photo of each day's painting. I like to see the chain of days build up in a grid pattern much like the circles from last year's project. This year I'm going to take weekends off from blogging so I'll just add to the gallery on Saturdays and Sundays instead of making a blog post. Have a great weekend guys!

Beyond Civilization Study Guide
I am B. I'm here to learn. To help in whatever way I can, which I'm already doing. I'm here to gather more facts and information, and use them to save the world. I don't know everything, but with a resource like this website I know I'll be able to stand my ground if anyone asks detailed or obscure questions.
I've taken the ideas of Quinn and added them to my own. The message is mine. I am the message. And as so, I've continued them and fleshed them out beyond what he has given in his books (not necessarily what he has thought -- I don't know him beyond his books). If anyone wishes to explore new territory with/for these ideas, I welcome you.Hmm . . . so formal. Um, yeah, I'm still new at this. But as new as I am, I had these ideas forming and solidifying in my head for at least seven years before someone gave me a copy of Ishmael. In fact, we were talking about the sufferings of the Native Americans at the hands of the "white man," and they said that my ideas were very similar to a book they read in one of thier environmental studies classes. I was at first apprehensive to read it, because what if I wasn't the only one who felt this way? But I did, and finally saw most of the things in my head laid out clearly. I acquired The Story of B and My Ishmael and read them within a week. They were fuel to the fire already raging inside of me. I had always known what to do -- find a way to save the world -- and now I had the tools I needed.Since then -- only about a year ago -- I've done much thinking, taking these ideas further on my own, and have only recently started "teaching" them or "spreading the word" about them. I use quotation marks because I'm using my gift for words (poetic mostly, but a few essay-like ventures) to do all that I can. And not even stopping there, I'm printing out pamphlets to tack up to bulletin boards and to hand out to students at the local Universities (UNM-Abq. and TVI of Abq.). I've already posted excerpts from the public teachings from The Story of B, and have answered not a few questions regarding what the hell they mean.I'm working here, working to help people find a way to live that won't kill them and their children. I've got a few plans, but nothing solid yet. But new ideas are all we need to make a change. Because eventually an Eddison or Einstein will come along and figure out how to blend what we know with what we're striving for. This is what I'm racking my brain over, finding something like this, and would like as much help as possible. Because we can't really afford to wait for our Eddison or Einstein. If they come, then my work will be no more a waste of effort than if they do not. I will do all I can no matter if our ideas see a person like them.As Quinn has shown us, there is hope. Our collapse is not inevitable.I'm sure you'd like your children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren to be reflecting in the year 2100 on how we barely managed to escape our utter doom. They will learn from us, and they will stand and walk this earth as we could only have dreamed of doing, and they will tell the stories of those of us who pulled a world together in thought in order to keep it from crushing itself.I have so much faith in humanity it's almost absurd, even by our standards. And if -- and I say "if" only because we might fail -- we do stop our culture, think of how known it will be. With our historical records and information gathering abilities now we'd never lose sight of what almost happened. It'd be permanently there, always at hand, if anyone ever wanted to know why we did what we did. It'll be as commonly available information as anything else.What I mean is that it will be known as historical fact that the way our culture lives(-ed) is wrong. That it can only destroy. And because it will be historical fact, it will be a part of whatever new culture(s) spring up, making it a constant lesson. "Never do what these people did, because it very nearly ended in their destruction. They were lucky they stopped themselves, because that lifestyle only ever leads to destruction, and theirs was imminent." What better historical lesson could we leave?I have no questions for Quinn about what I should do. I know what I'm going to do, what I have already started doing.

I am not making any assertions about your correctness or incorrectness or my ability to competently make a determination either way. Asking people to validate claims, such as claims that there is a "... disagreement between Larry and most other people" or claims that "most other people think FSF and SFLC are wrong" is perfectly reasonable. I wasn't attempting to address the issue of correctness or incorrectness. Instead, I was struck by how you countered hogwash with, well, hogwash. > You know as well as I do, > Zak, that the courts have not spoken out about these topics in the > open > source context with any clarity. Asking me for case citations at > this stage > is a way to shut off discussion. I may at times give the appearance of competence, it is - sadly - mostly only appearance. Case law moves forward and I am often unaware. Perhaps I should correct this. In the meantime, asking you (and others) to provide the rationale behind their beliefs isn't wrong or stifling.

What Do You Know About Courses
Importance Of Forklift Certification Classes
Forklifts are very important in performance of various industrial activities especially in lifting of loads. Forklifts are generally used in various activities by different people on their daily basis something that has therefore made them part of our society. Forklifts operations are some of the top things that require a lot of attention as their popularity in our day to day activities does not mean that the ability to operate them safely is mainstream.
There have been cases where poor operations of the forklifts have led to very fatal accidents which have caused serious injuries and at times deaths of the operators. Forklifts operations require great care and skills to minimize and curb all unnecessary accidents that may come due to poor operations of them and thus the reason why forklift certification classes have been of great help to a large number of people over the last few years.
It is therefore very important for any employer intending to hire a forklift operator to ensure that the operator has a legal forklift certification from a well recognized institution.
Forklift certification classes come with so many benefits. Here are some of the many benefits that come with the forklift certification processes.
One of the major reasons why forklift certification classes are very important is because they help to prevent excess spending or wastage of money. Poor operation of the forklifts can lead to a lot of accidents which will obviously result to injuries that at the end of the day will cost you a lot of money in catering for the medical bills and thus the reason why forklift certification classes are very important.
The other reason why many people are advised to undergo through a forklift certification class first before operating a forklift is so as to promote safe working environment. Forklift certification classes are very great as they help to equip the trainees with the right training, knowledge and skills for operating a forklift in a safe manner when in work. Forklift certification classes are very important to any organization as they help the organization enjoy greater return on investment due to increased employee productivity in the workplace. The other reason why the forklift certification classes are very great is because they minimize the damages on the auto machines.
This is a very great advantage to any organization as the maintenance will be lower and the repair costs will be completely eliminated. Forklift certification classes are very important as they greatly help to lower the insurance premiums paid on monthly basis by the organization and thus decreasing the insurance costs at large. Lastly, forklift certification classes help in making sure that the working morale is improved and also alleviates working stress.

I've thought about it just a little bit, and so here's some of mine...
1. Love like I've never been hurt
2. Dance like nobody's looking
3. Eat like there's no cholesterol
4. Sing like nobody's listening
5. Run like there's five pit bull terriers chasing me
6. Learn how to use Photoshop to transform bad photos into nice photos, and nice photos into drop-dead gorgeous photos
7. Take photos like Bernard's
8. Decide once and for all whether to go with C or N, or both (crazy?!?)
9. Get my rescue diver certification
10. Read the whole Bible
11. Walk closer and more obediently with God
12. Rise on the wings of eagles
He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God. Micah 6:8

Honestly I haven't made new year's resolution(s) in a while. I'd rather make it along the way. Not just because a new year is beginning. Afterall .. everyday is a new day. Just a thought :)
Interesting read on the "In the Dilemma". I've read something to the same tune somewhere sometime ago...haha. You almost got me thinking that you were deliberating on a relationship between two girls! Gosh!!
- Wed Jan 02, 06:34:00 PM 2008
- pumpkin said...
C or N huh? Just go with both la! ;) You can take one out for special occasions and the other for everyday events for a year and then swap over for the next year! Process to be repeated for subsequent years... ;)
- Thu Jan 03, 06:33:00 AM 2008
- HL said...
memory_lane: Yea, resolutions can be made anytime. New year just seems to be a good time to make resolutions, especially those longer-term ones that follow the annual timeline.
pumpkin: If you bank in some British pounds into my account, maybe I can afford to keep both C and N.
- Thu Jan 03, 08:01:00 PM 2008
- memory_Lane said...
I agree. It's almost like a must do kinda thing each year because ppl never fail to ask you that question. I must admit I am one who cannot make a year long resolution. I make it as I see fit because anything longer than that would become redundant. Why do ppl call it "New Year's resolution"? Ever wonder?

Sorry Mister Lok, that no. 3 has gotta go. Abang bukan lagi muda sangat, tau tak? Mesti jaga jaga sikit. Nanti gadis manis pun terlepas!

Some resolutions are lifelong, e.g. those things that you gotta keep on doing. We just renew our commitment every year.
Ya kak Charis, terima kasih kerana mengambilberat tentang kesihatan jasmani dan kesejahteraan rohani aku serta gadis manis. Aku bertekad akan lebih banyak bersenam, kurangkan makan nasi lemak dan lebih makan fajita dari Texas.
- Sun Jan 06, 10:30:00 PM 2008
1. Work ( service my clients whole-heartedly ) like I have never been criticized ( left,right,centre ) before ( Colossians 3:23 )
2. Learn to take criticism constructively and humbly – to pause awhile to glean the truth in there, and be willing to improve, change and grow – instead of automatically jumping to self-defense and cursing the rest of the world
3. Develop healthier attitude towards work, like self-doubts about one's "fit" ( or lack thereof ) for one's job/field never existed before
4. Actively build bridges( reverse of Nehemiah ;) – not build walls, but bring down walls ), like I never had seemingly structurally-sound bridges collapse from right under my feet before
5. Learn to love people as they are ( not as what I want them to be ), like I have never been hurt before
Got it all worked out in THEORY.
Now let's see if it can work in PRACTICE *sigh*
- Mon Jan 07, 01:14:00 AM 2008
From the "behaviorist" point of view, some of these resolutions are no good. You got to make it observable and measurable, so that at the end of 2008 you can look back and say whether you have kept/achieved your resolutions.
For example number 12 - Rise on the wings of eagles. Haiyah, what do you mean by that? Literally? Rising above the storms of life? How do you know if you are rising on the wings of eagles?
Or number 2 - Dance like nobody's looking. You should write something like: Every sunday morning, I will dance for at least 10 minutes during praise and worship in church in an area where somebody will be looking.
Just having some fun here :D

am going to adopt a couple of your resolutions, if you don't mind :)
- Sat Jan 12, 12:59:00 PM 2008
Yes...I encourage you to LOVE like you have never been hurt!! And please decide to go with either a C or an N..same theory applies for everthing...not just camera... :p
All the best in your 2008 endeavours... :p

anon#1: As Nike says, Just Do It. :)
ailsa: Thanks, but I think you're getting a bit too technical. :P
nicole: Sure, go ahead. I don't think there's any copyrighted stuff there. :)
chloe: C or N is a slightly different story la. I can have both. I can even add P or O or S if I'm crazy enough ;)

How To Ask For Help In Your Career
Sometimes in your career you may get stuck in your career and may not have any idea about how to proceed in your career and can feel stuck at certain point, this is where you want to ask for help regarding your career, here are the following ways to ask help with your career
First make a note of all the things in your career that are making you stuck in your career and plan what questions to ask about your career.
Ask questions in a straight forward and direct way rather than asking in a general and generic way for help, whatever list you have made ask questions regarding them in a short and crisp manner, don't elaborate just be precise.
Show them that you are dedicated and committed to improve your career and take enough time and energy to invest in yourself to improve your career, because no one is going to invest in your career apart from you, so be honest and sincere.
Don't expect too much from the person whom you are asking for help and try to get assistance from him in discovering ways to improve your career but do not entirely look for solutions and magic from them, this will leave you disappointed and take you away from your goal.
After asking for help be thankful and appreciative about the person whom you are asking for help, it really helps in maintaining good relations with them and makes them feel appreciated and helps in building good relations with them for the future.

How To Create Your Own Self Care Plan
Do you feel like you're always on the go with little downtime? That's because you probably are. I've been there too! Basically, you're not leaving yourself time to recover from life itself. It's time to stop whatever it is you're doing and to listen to your body to understand that what you need.
Self care is vital for your individual health and happiness. Finding time for self-care activities is hard enough, but finding reliable methods to turn to is even harder especially with busy schedule. Listen, I totally get it and wanted to provide you with a few tips that helped me create my own reliable self care plan.
Here's what I do:
Block off time
Print out your weekly schedule and block out times when you are available and/or at home. If you usually accomplish household tasks during these times, split those blocks down further. Designate specific time for any self care activity. You also may want to over-dedicate time for this during the first few weeks. As you become more used to practicing and utilizing self care activities while determining how much you need, you can better fine-tune these time blocks and let them work to your advantage.
Identify different types of self care
Find different types of self care that you may be interested in putting into practice. If you like to go out and hike, write that down. If you like to paint or color, add that to the list. If you like music, choose specific music genres that you like and how they make you feel. Try classical or meditation music to calm down, pop music to cheer up, etc. List writing your own music or learning how to read music as a possible activity as well.
Essentially, get creative with your most prevalent interests in life. Try your creativity at stretching them into short but interesting activities. Also, don't over complicate this list. Just choose things that you love and things that make you happy.
Combine Activities
Next, go into more detail on each possible activity you wrote down in your list. List how much time each activity would require to be meaningful and helpful in one sitting. Then, consider how you like to spend your free time.
Do you like to do one thing for long periods of time or are you easily distracted and prefer having multiple activities to bounce around?
Having both types of activities is important to keep your self care routine fresh and balanced. However, you may find it easier to try activities with similar requirements of time first.
Fit a few activities into the time slots you created earlier. While you may have some activities that are short enough to balance even more, try not to go over this number. Instead, focus on being fully present in each of the activities.
Incorporate new skills
While you may love the new activities you've found, be sure to reflect on them as well. In many cases, activities based off of hobbies and original interests have many aspects in which they can still grow.
If you love to draw, set aside time to draw what you are comfortable with and most interested in. Also, constantly work on self development and continue learning new skills. While some forms of self-care are sufficient in doing nothing and focusing on rest, self-improvement and learning new skills also creates feelings of success and happiness.
Go slow
While self care is essential to your happiness and well-being, it's not always easy to implement right away. Give yourself a break if you fall short of your original self care goal and remember that this goal is not supposed to stress you out. This process is only what you make it! Go at your own pace and enjoy the journey!
How do you currently practice self care? Comment below!

WOW!! I was in constant pain with my osteoarthritis. I have been coming for the last 3 months & my results are amazing!! My Arthritis has not progressed since my last xrays 1 year ago, I have lost 20" And I am down 10lbs. The PEMF Therapy with the Centurion Tesla coil has really helped my pain. I will never stop coming here!
Nicole - Welland, ON
Lipo Light Body Sculptinging, PEMF & Hypervibe has helped Nicole lose 12.5" in 11 treatments & be pain free with her back injury!
Real People, Real Results!
Leg Swelling Gone!Hypervibe has allowed me to continue working and remain independent even at 80 years of age. This keeps me feeling healthy better than anything else I've tried and after only a matter of weeks the swelling in my legs is totally gone. Bill - Canada
I am thrilled with the results after using the whole body vibration just after two weeks! I am a registered practical nurse that is unable to work because of many complications with a bad back and am unable to exercise much, except for walking, because of it and this machine hasn't hurt me so all! I have had problems with poor circulation in my right lower leg which results in my foot swelling extensively at the end of every day and because of this machine and the amazing health benefits it has stopped swelling! As well as significant muscle toning and decreased swelling I have felt much more energized! I strongly recommend these sessions to anyone especially individuals suffering with poor circulation, these machines should be in physiotherapists offices and nursing or retirement homes. Thank you Fiona for being a wonderful personal coach and encouraging me when I was skeptical because it definitely is working!!!
Fiona is amazingly supportive and caring! I love her!
Fiona has been working with me for 2 weeks. Between the Lipo Laser and vigorous intense workouts on the Hypervibe, I have managed to lose a total of 6 inches and more than 6 pounds of body fat, and am on my way to a six pack by midsummer. In addition to this good news I have a tremendous amount of energy to spare and am sleeping better than ever. Thank you Fiona for your awesome coaching!
I started using the Hyper Vibe and Laser for 3 weeks now. The first week and half I lost 4.5 inches. The Laser feels like a deep tissue massage. I actually can lay there for 20 minutes and feel great afterwards. Then I use the hyper vibe, which is a great workout. I regularly work out 5 times a week hard and I still can not get rid of that unwanted fat. But since the hypervibe I am noticing a huge difference in my back and waist and hips. I am also noticing less cellulite.I have also noticed a difference with my monthly cycle, my appetite(I am no longer craving food all the time)My 20 minutes workouts on the hyper vibe feel like an hour exercise class, or I can choose to have a relaxing stretch for 10 minutes on the vibe.What a difference. I will continue to do 3 times a week as the benefits are great. It is so nice to finally do something that works. I have a thyroid issue and take medication so my metabolism is very low. I have to personally workout like crazy and can not cheat what so ever. So it is very challenging for me to even lose 1 pound.Cant wait to see the results in a couple of weeks. My clothes are fitting differently already!!!! Love the laser and hypervibe
On June 6th 2014 I fell and broke my hip and needed to have 3 pins put in. They told me it would be 16 to 20 weeks to be healed. I was home from the hospital in 2 days and had to have therapy and moved from a walker to a cane within days. My friend Brenda who lives next door suggested I try the CENTURION pulsed electronic magnetic system to help with the healing, so I started the system immediately. I would do it faithfully every morning and night for the next 5 weeks. Using it on my hip and upper leg for 30 minutes.After three weeks my therapist told me I did not need her help any more, I knew the system was working. I was using my cane less and less and walking more and more on my own. When I went to the doctors he was amazed at my progress and how far I had come in 5 weeks. I contribute it to the CENTURION pulsed electronic system.

Dead Ends by Pris Campbell
When the road behind you
is littered with bodies
of those you once loved,
when dead end signs loom
over each hill, when age
pockmarks your morphing skin,
the mermaids swim to shore
and call your name.
Seaweed 'round their necks
they lead you into waters where dolphins
leapt and great whales spewed,
past junk-cluttered reefs, dying
fish and great turtles struggling
in plastic and hooks.
Your tears blend with theirs
as they return you to shore, back
to your road where night shutters
down over pale-eyed scavengers
and lost yellow dogs.

Thanks. Al!
A wonderful poem, Pris; many layers of allusion!

Hello all,
In today's post I want to share a tip that helped me troubleshoot an issue I was facing and couldn't find much documentation about it. To my friends that read and don't have much knowledge in databases, this entry will look like an estrange language but I promise I'm working in some post to walk you through the database world and understated some of the terms used here.
Issue: Had to reinitialize a subscription from a transactional replication. When doing the initialization with the snapshot, the process was taking a huge amount of time, about 13 hours and it has only applied the snapshot for 12 (out of 24) tables, based on that speed the entire process would have taken about 26-30 hours to complete.
The snapshot was generated in 12 minutes and it was generated taking advantage of parallelism, however I noticed that when the snapshot was getting applied it was processing one file at the time (due to the parallelism of the snapshot generation, it split the snapshot files in 48 chunks for each table) so I started to wonder why the initialization was sequential (Serialized) whereas the generation was in parallel.
By doing a deep research on the web, I found lots of explanations such as this one (https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/sqlsakthi/2011/08/07/maxbcpthread-parameter-for-snapshot-and-distribution-agent-in-sql-server-replication/) which explain how the parameter "-MaxBcpThreads" work, however it doesn't explains how to get it implemented. You can find that parameter in the Distribution Agent for the publisher server, however you can't change the value from the user interface (UI) of SSMS.
So I stop trying to find for an specific solution through the web and started to build my own. Time to remove the dust and start managing the replications with T-SQL, so I looked for any stored procedures that would help me change that parameter so I found this "sp_change_agent_parameter" in there you can update the parameters for all the database agents. You can query your current Distributors but using the following query. lets call it Query1 for future reference:
[publication] as Publication
,c.srvname as SubscriberName
,b.profile_name as Profile
,[name] as DistributionJobName
FROM [distribution].[dbo].[MSdistribution_agents] a
inner join msdb.[dbo].[MSagent_profiles] b
on a.profile_id = b.profile_id
inner join master..sysservers c
on a.subscriber_id = c.srvid
order by b.profile_name
From those results, validate if the publication you want to update is listed there, and take the value from the profile_id column.
Important note before updating this values, in the URL mentioned above, there is an important note: "When applying a snapshot that was generated at the Publisher using the concurrent snapshot option, one thread is used, regardless of the number you specify for MaxBcpThreads."
Meaning that you will need to verify the Sync_method that is configured with your publication, if it is Concurrent, then you will have to update your sync method before updating your Distribution agent properties, you can validate the method with this command "EXEC sp_helppublication @publication = 'YourPublicationName'" and look for the 7th column, this command will need to be executed on your published database. The column value will be a number, you can match each result to this property:
Synchronization mode:
0 = Native bulk copy program (bcp utility)
1 = Character bulk copy
3 = Concurrent, which means that native bulk copy (bcputility) is used but tables are not locked during the snapshot
4 = Concurrent_c, which means that character bulk copy is used but tables are not locked during the snapshot.
Once that you have verify and noticed that you need to update the sync method to your publication, you can do it with the following command:
@publication = 'YourPublicationName',
@property = 'sync_method',
@force_invalidate_snapshot =1,
@force_reinit_subscription =1,
@value = 'native';
Once that you have that set, you can use the following command to update the value you want for the maximum Bcp Threads where Profile_ID is the one you got from the Query1:
@profile_id = 4,
@parameter_name = '-MaxBcpThreads',
@parameter_value = '4'
What would this change do? Enable you to use x number of threads (based on what you configure in @parameter_value) to read the snapshot files and get it apply in parallel. One thing that worth's mentioning, when you check for your active executions (e.g. sp_who) you will notice that some of the parallel threads will get blocked, don't worry about it, is because you are dealing with the same table, you will gain that parallelism when you process various tables at the same time, so in here my advice is to configure that parameter_value to a number close to the half of the files that were generated always taking in account your available processors, you don't want to affect the performance for the other databases when trying to re-mediate one issue.
The result? In my environment I was able to apply the snapshot (24 tables) in 6hrs and 13 minutes, the Published database was a 1.5TB database and the snapshot weighted 185GB, without the change the process ran for more than 13hrs and only 12 tables (50% in number 35% in data) were applied, hope this tip helps you get the snapshot applied faster.
Thanks for reading!

Consisting of singer/guitarist Billy Gibbons, singer/bassist Dusty Hill and drummer Frank Beard, ZZ Top has been entertaining fans since 1969 and sold more than 50 million records worldwide. The iconic trio – often referred to as "That Little Ol' Band From Texas" – is perhaps best known for hits ranging from "Sharp Dressed Man," "Legs" and "Gimme All Your Lovin'" to "La Grange," "Tush" and "Cheap Sunglasses."
ZZ Top was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2004.
By Jim Davis
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees ZZ Top will bring The Tonnage Tour to Huber Heights Sunday evening for a 7 p.m. concert at Rose Music Center at The Heights.
Founding member and legendary guitarist Billy Gibbons took some time to answer a few questions for Aim Media Midwest in anticipation of the Texas-based band's visit to the Miami Valley. Here's what he had to say:
• Most people know ZZ Top in one form or another, but for anyone who has never experienced ZZ Top in person, what kind of show will fans see when you come to Huber Heights?
"You'll hear songs you know, you'll hear songs you think you know but you don't and you'll be hearing songs you don't know that you don't now know but will, thereafter, know. And it'll be loud."
• Whether it's because they're life-long fans or perhaps new fans in the making, concert-goers keep turning out whenever ZZ Top comes to town. From your perspective, what do you hope they get out of the experience of seeing you guys perform live?
"It's the same for them as it is for us: a good time, plain and simple. We really churn the energy of the folks who come and see us so it's a kind of perpetual motion machine. They have a good time, we sense it and we have an even better time and channel that back. It's the funky version of the circle of live."
• On the flip side of that – and I realize you guys have been doing this for decades and the experience has evolved – what do you, Dusty and Frank derive from the experience of visiting a town, taking the stage and performing live for people who love and appreciate what you have to share?
"We definitely get a kick out of reigniting the torch, so to speak, when a new audience throws additional fuel on the fire. Come on out and party on!"
• You guys are one of just a few bands that have stuck together 40-plus years and continue to make music together. Please tell us a little about the common thread that ties you three together and also what each of you brings to the table.
"When the three of us originally got together back around the time the earth cooled, we pretty much instantly realized we had found a combination that clicked in no uncertain terms. What was going to be a 20 minute audition turned into a three hour jam session and it's been going on ever since. We have a certain telepathy between us so even if one of us makes a mistake (hey, it happens!), the other two know — before it's actually happened — that they need to change course, so to speak. No one's ever the wiser, least of all us."
• ZZ Top fans are some of the most fiercely loyal devotees out there. You guys have fans who now bring their children – and grandchildren — to shows. From your perspective, what does that mean to you guys?
"It's the greatest feeling in the world. We're like cherished family heirlooms handed down from generation to generation but please don't look for us on Antiques Road Show anytime soon as we've got a road show of our own."
• After all these years – and working in an industry that is continually changing – what keeps the three of you motivated to get up every day and keep making music?
"It's just about the only thing we know how to do and after all this time we're starting to get good at it. Why leave the party when it's only getting better?"
• Fans have their favorite ZZ Top songs for various reasons — How about you guys? Do you have a favorite to play live, and why?
"It's actually two because they're always performed back to back: "Waitin' For The Bus" and "Jesus Just Left Chicago" — those two were coined as the first two tracks on our "Tres Hombres" album due to a mastering error and we took that as a sign that they should always be presented together. It's a blues groove we just can't quit."
• Will we see any new music soon from ZZ Top?
"You'll definitely see it and you certainly will hear it. We've been recording a bit of late, as our tour schedule allows and have some sides committed to virtual wax as this is written. What remains to be seen is how we'll get this out — maybe let 'em out one at a time versus a traditional album's worth but the grooves are there, for sure."
Special guests Black Stone Cherry and The Summit are slated to get the evening rolling before ZZ Top takes the stage. Doors open at 5:30 p.m., with music set to start at 7 p.m.

If you're thinking of having garden decking installed, then there'll be certain things you need to consider. You want it to be the centre-piece of your garden, a place where your family and friends can relax and unwind, a place where you can entertain and where your guests feel comfortable.
You should think about planning permission before you come up with too many ideas. Your decking will have to be no nearer to the main road than 20mtrs and it can't be greater than 3mtrs in height. If you do want it higher than that you'll need permission.
Building Regulations For Garden Decking
To satisfy the regulations you'll need to make sure your decking is strong and gives enough support. This can be done by making sure the posts you use are securely anchored with concrete. You'll also have to make sure the joists and supports are secure so the decking is stable. There are minimum joist dimensions and these are around 150 x 50mm at around 400mm centres.
Type of Garden Decking
For your decking to work, it needs to be fairly robust, you can either have them treated or untreated. If your decking's going to be in the shade, then non-slip decking might be better so no one slips in wet weather.
Garden Decking Board Arrangements
How you arrange the garden decking boards is something you need to factor in, you can have them either horizontal or vertical, or perhaps opt for a more complex arrangement such as herringbone. You'll need concrete foundations for it to be stable, but if you use the house as the foundation, then you'll definitely need to comply with the building regulations.
Sun and Garden Features
Will your garden decking be surrounded by garden features? You may need to build your decking around it. If you're going to be using it for barbecues, consider an area in your garden where it gets sun into early evening.
Garden Decking Access From the House
Make sure the doors that lead onto the decking will still be accessible with proper access from the house. Consider anyone in your house with a disability or difficulty moving around.
Let Us Help With Your Decking Plans
If you're unsure about anything, get in touch and we'll be more than happy to help. We pride ourselves on our professionalism and have a great team of professionals who've all been trained and are qualified to work on garden decking.

What Do You Think You Know
What is this that
we think we know?
– It pervades life
ever anon and
contains man in
the fields of love –
Could it be the
universe acting
through us as the
law governing life,
or is it the measuring
stick of experience
tallying up all days
lived rightly, as if there
is a way to live wrongly.
I find it is the love we
give to find our hearts
bloom ever anew.
What is this that
we think we know?
– It brings life from
chaos to order and
back to chaos in an
unending cycle of
renewal – Could it
be a gentle taming
of man's wild spirit
running from the
drudgery of society's
searing humiliation
or is it the wildness
in made is made
manifest by by the
pallid taste that society
imbues upon the natural
world through control.
What is this that
we think we know?
– every person breathes
through a particular
scope in which love is
received and given – Is
it you who knows the
totality of love and
all it's manifestations;
to fill and be filled by
the same haughty
breath that sustains
this wondrous universe.
To let go of the binds
that would have you
understand and
just bask in the glories
of your sacred love.

Body Building Team at UG
Underground Gym has 1500 SQ feet of paradise for a bodybuilder or anyone that wants to enhance strength. Our kit is the most modern and up to date on the market, which is why we attract professional body builders and have our wall of fame in the club for anyone who has completed and dedicated their life usually eight to ten week to compete. We have formulated a team in club of some of our top professionals which want to share their knowledge with anyone who wants to get into the sport or wants to enhance performance top the next stage.
We ask Rene Campbell more about bodybuilding and her journey:
'Bodybuilding is a mental as well as the physical journey for each who decides to go down this path.
It certainly is a sport that encompasses your whole lifestyle and to achieve great results you need to immerse yourself fully. For me personally, it affected my outlook on life, social and personal life, sleeping patterns, training and of course diet.
I was an endurance athlete previously - spending hours a day cycling, swimming and running.
For years, I tried to maintain a body image that the media pushes onto society of being a skinny size 6-8.
*Looking back now I can see what a mental struggle this was - always believing I had to be thin to look like the photographs you see on the cover of magazines and advertisements. I was miserable and unconfident in myself. *
My journey into the world of muscle liberated me mentally. I gained strength of mind as well as strength of body. As I saw my physique change, I became more comfortable and confident with myself.
It was a revelation to understand that I didn't need to conform to the pressures of society. All I needed to do was follow what felt right for me.
"YOUR TIME IS LIMITED, SO DON'T WASTE IT LIVING SOMEONE ELSE'S LIFE." - Steve Jobs
The main highlights of my competing journey were winning the UK BFF British Women's Bodybuilding title, winning the Ifbb Overall and World title and then earning Pro Status. I now get to compete with the best of the best in the World on a Pro Stage - this blows my mind when I think about it. I am humbled and in awe when I see world class athletes at events - the ones I've looked up to and been motivated by - and I think "Wow - look how far Iv come. Anything is possible".
I achieved something which seemed impossible at the start. I had many people around me - in my personal life as well as the bodybuilding circuit who said I wouldn't amount to anything. That was fuel to the fire for me and gave me motivation.
"FOLLOW YOUR HEART AND YOUR INSTINCTS. PEOPLE MAY TRY TO DISSUADE YOU FROM YOUR PASSION, BUT NO ONE CAN LIVE YOUR LIFE BUT YOU". - Olympia Dukakis
I won my Pro Status by being the first British female athlete to win the World Title - this goes down in the history books. I was told that this was impossible to achieve and that I shouldn't get my hopes up, and in fact to just give up on the idea. This reinforces my belief that whatever you put your mind to, you can achieve.
"WHATEVER THE MIND OF MAN CAN CONCEIVE AND BELIEVE; IT CAN ACHIEVE." - Napoleon Hill
Outside of the bodybuilding circuit - I am a mum of two boys. This again is something that makes me love the sport - you can still be a parent and build a physique that you're proud of. Iv met many women who even after having children, get into the gym and transform their bodies. Again, not just transforming their physique, but altering their mental strength and gaining self-confidence. This alone is a huge motivational tool for me.
This life we have is short, and many of us live with the misconception that we have all the time in the world. We put things off and come up with excuses why we can't do something.
No more excuses - get started!!'
"REMEMBERING THAT YOU ARE GOING TO DIE IS THE BEST WAY I KNOW TO AVOID THE TRAP OF THINKING YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO LOSE. THERE IS NO REASON NOT TO FOLLOW YOUR HEART" - Steve Jobs
Join Rene this weekend SUNDAY 26th June
11:30 - 13:30
with partner Will Monzeer for a FREE seminar including everything you need to know about bodybuilding, pre-competition training, diet, posing, bikinis, bulking offseason, tan and much more.
