The Chicken Man
Do you know the Chicken Man? Yes, the Chicken Man. If you need a chicken, he's your guy. Lining the streets of Mopti, adjacent to the small water port on the Bani river, are a number of small businesses. I'm not quite sure how it works if you want to buy say, just one chicken. It would seem like pulling just one chicken off and handling the money would be no small ordeal.
The keen observer may have noticed that the Chicken Man's vest has Korean on it. I was a little surprised to see lots of second-hand Korean clothes on sale in Mopti, let alone being worn. If you're wondering, the back of the vest says Hanwha (한화), which is one of the top 10 largest Chaebol (conglomerates) in South Korea.
When I saw this guy, I immediately was reminded of the time I saw a very similar chicken scene play out in Cambodia.

Drug crimes are aggressively prosecuted in the state of Utah and even charges of simple possession can carry severe penalties and consequences, including jail time, a loss of driving privileges and a permanent mark on your legal record. Unfortunately, police officers and prosecutors are not always concerned with protecting the rights of suspects in drug crime arrests and investigations.
At theFrazier Law Firm, we provide experienced and aggressive representation for individuals charged with Utah state and federal drug crimes. Lawyer Danny Frazier has practiced criminal defense for more than 22 years and understands how prosecutors will attempt to build their cases. He works tirelessly to build effective defenses for his clients and strives for the best possible outcome in every case.
If you have been arrested for a drug offense in the state of Utah, contact us at the Frazier Law Firm to schedule a free initial consultation.
At the Frazier Law Firm, we also provide a source of comfort for our clients. We can provide resources for rehabilitation, therapy and support for clients who need them.
The Frazier Law Firm has represented clients against a wide variety of Utah state and federal drug offenses, including crimes involving marijuana, heroin, methamphetamines, prescription drugs and other illegal substances. Common drug crimes in Utah include:
In any drug case, the first approach is to look at the circumstances of the investigation, the arrest and the gathering of evidence that was used to build the case. Police must have probable cause to make a traffic stop or to do a search for the possession of marijuana and it is important to ensure that a suspect's rights were not trampled on in the process.
If evidence used to build a case against you was the result of an illegal search or seizure, attorney Frazier will work hard to suppress it so that it cannot be used against you at trial. Protecting your Constitutional rights is important and attorney Frazier will hold law enforcement and others accountable when this protection is not provided to drug crime suspects.
If you have been charged with a drug crime in the state of Utah and are concerned about the impact it could have on your employment, your reputation and your freedom, contact us at the Frazier Law Firm and talk with us about your arrest.

So, yes. The Chicago Cubs have won the World Series. Obviously, we're pretty happy about that.
It was very cool to watch the games - especially Game 7 - with my two sons. We had some Chicago-style hot dogs for dinner as the game was starting, trying to send some good mojo to the Cubs, playing in Cleveland, by way of Spring, TX.
Also obviously, being long-suffering Cubs fans, it was a little bittersweet. Many die-hard Cubs fans have left this earthly plane since the last time the Cubs hoisted a World Series trophy. Whole generations have come and gone since then.
In addition to my kids, and myself, I was very happy for a handful of Cubs fans I've known my whole life, fans who lived a LONG time without seeing this, but got to see it last night. Aunt Kathleen in California, my ol' man's little sister; her brother Mike, my uncle, and Aunt Boots. My dad's brother Jack and his wife, Aunt Agnes, who still live in a bungalow on Chicago's northwest side. My ma's sister, Aunt Betty, who lives in the Chicago suburbs.
So while Patrick and Marion, and Jerry and Phelim, Abmrose, and so many others cheered from heaven, I'm glad there were a few old-timers left who got to see this, to experience it, last night.
Watching the series with my sons was special, particularly last night's game, an extra-inning, rain-delayed thriller. Thinking of family, life-long Cubs fans, being able to watch the same thing in far-flung places, made the experience all the more special.
Baseball truly does span generations, and even if the Cubs never win another playoff series - I hope they do, mind you! - I'll always be glad that they won last night. And I'll always be glad that these people got to experience it.

Garissa County Assembly approves a Ksh. 10 Billion Budget FY 2018/2019
Garissa County Assembly approves a Ksh. 10 Billion Budget FY 2018/2019
Garissa County Assembly has enacted a total budget of Ksh. 10,152,375,255 billion for Financial Year 2018/2019. Out of this budget recurrent expenditure has been allocated Ksh. 5,760,165,897. This is the funds which will be used for payment of salaries, wages, operations and maintenance (O&M).
On the other hand, development spending has been allocated Ksh. 4,382,569,358 or Ksh. 4.38 billion. This money will be spent on construction and rehabilitation of roads and other infrastructure development within Garissa County.
Local or own revenue has a Ksh. 250 million target set for FY 2018/2019. Since the commencement of devolution in FY 2013/2014, Garissa County has never achieved the targets set for local revenue collection. This we will cover in the next blog article in greater details.
Access to clean water
In the county's quest to access clean water for all the residents, Garissa County has set aside some resources for drilling of 14 boreholes in Garissa Township. The aim of this development is to ensure that each resident has access to clean water for domestic and livestock use.
Health Sector
After the budget speech, I presume read by the CEC Member for Finance, Garissa County is setting aside resources to build a cancer treatment center to help provide the much needed cancer treatment closer to the people.
"People from Garissa will not have a problem in accessing cancer treatment," said one of the Members of County Assembly after the budget speech.
Korane Care
Under the health sector, Garissa County created a program called Korane Care. This programme has been allocated resources to facilitate provision of free medical care to 7,000 households in Garissa County.
Youth Unemployment
In order to deal with the waiting time bomb of youth unemployment, Garissa County has set aside Fruit Processing Plant and created a Youth Revolving Fund to provide resources for youth to engage in business and create more employment opportunities for many others. In FY 2017/2018 the revolving fund was allocated Ksh. 100 million and the kitty has been boosted with an additional Ksh. 50 million making it Ksh. 150 million in FY 2018/2019.

Tracer testing is a powerful tool for reservoir surveillance. Conducting and analyzing an interwell tracer test (IWTT) before starting an enhanced-oil-recovery (EOR) flood provides specific information required to balance the pattern's swept pore volume (PV) and to optimize chemical or solvent use. Tracer testing also plays an important role in EOR by establishing a baseline for estimating incremental volume swept and recovery factor.
A key limitation to tracer testing is the time required to obtain a complete interpretation of the test results. Conventional interpretation methods require observing exponential decline in the tracer concentration from all producers; depending on the pattern size and processing rate, this can take many months or years. Meanwhile, the EOR flood is delayed, thereby eroding its value and reducing the remaining oil target. We have developed a method for analyzing tracer data from relatively early times that is based, in part, on a new way to extrapolate the tracer data, providing timely information to optimize flood performance. The extrapolation can be performed soon after the peak tracer concentration is observed in the well with the slowest response. We illustrate the extrapolation procedure with a synthetic, yet realistic, data set showing that the new methods result in a good approximation at much earlier times. We then compare 'early time analysis' swept PVs with the (correct) swept PVs using the complete tracer data set. We also discuss how early-time approximations can thus provide the opportunity to optimize chemical-flood performance and to enable field startup of EOR floods in a timely fashion.

Having a safe place for your chickens is essential before bringing them home, you will want to research what kind of enclosure or coop to have in advance that is able to keep your chooks warm, happy, and safe.
A Happy Chicken = eggs!
Firstly you should check if there are rules in your area for keeping chickens – you can have chickens in a suburban backyard but usually no roosters. It pays to check with your council just to make sure.
Your chicken coop and run design will come down to a few factors:
- How many chickens will you have?
- Will they be in a run or free-range?
- Your budget
- Any predators in your area
There are lots of designs and plans, whether you want a permanent fixed structure or a movable 'tractor'. Pinterest is a great place to get ideas as to what works for you, from fancy houses to building from recycled materials like pallets.
The run design that I decided on is assembled from PVC pipe, plastic trellis, and cable ties – you can see the plans and material list here from simplesavings.co.nz.
I highly recommend this – our chickens free-range during the day but we needed something that would keep them safe at night and while we trained our dogs to be 'bird-proof'. It turned out fantastic for the price:
The tractor is super lightweight and easily moved around to new areas of fresh grass, especially when I need to get it out of the southerly – I just keep it fastened it down with tent pegs. All the materials for this design can be found at Mitre10 or Bunnings in one trip.
We did end up adding a tarp so that the girls had additional protection from the sun and wind.
For the coop I chose a kit-set design called ecoFLEX™ from Tradetested.co.nz (also available on Amazon here) I did a LOT of research on chicken coop structures, materials, and pros and cons of each and decided that the EcoFlex Coop was the winner for me –
- It's made of a recycled material that will handle the New Zealand harsh weather conditions (the cheap wood types sold elsewhere seem to disintegrate and warp after only a few seasons).
- It's resistant to insect infestations (read about mites here)
- Easy flat-pack assembly – the fact that this only took about an hour for Mr B and myself to put together was #onpoint.
- So easy to clean! You can waterblast/hose down and it doesn't seem to absorb smells.
Now I know this is probably a pricey option for some but its perfect for us because
A) I have zero carpentry skills
B) its durability to last will make up for the price tag of $350 in no maintenance costs and easy care.
I use wood shavings as bedding and find it works nicely making it easier to pick out the dirty parts with a cat litter scoop. I do this on the weekends and then add more fresh shavings.
Once you have your run, coop, and bedding sorted, you're almost there!
You will also need:
Chicken feed – according to the age of your hens. I didn't bother getting a feeder as I like to sprinkle it on the ground or have them eat out of my hand. That's the fun part!
Chicken drinker – this needs to be suspended or get a design where they can't perch and dirty the water. Purchase one large enough for your flock size (1 chicken can drink up to 1L of water a day!)
Oyster shell or grit – you would have heard the saying 'rarer than hen's teeth', and that's because chickens don't have any! Having grit available helps them digest what they consume in their crop, and also ensures laying hens have enough calcium for eggshell development.
Most of these products you can purchase online or at your nearest rural supply shop.
Some handy resources for supplies are:
- Chooks.co.nz – New Zealand online store selling all your essential chicken supplies, they also sell various chickens breeds and fertilized eggs.
- Trademe.co.nz – You can find livestock and mostly everything you need here under 'Poultry'
- The Real NZ Poultry Chat – NZ Facebook group that has lots of information and support from experienced and other beginner chicken owners.
If you want to know more about what chicken keeping entails, check out this great article from the SPCA that tells you about costs, care, and upkeep. Or if you have any questions leave a comment below and I'd be happy to try answer where I can 😁
Cya next time,

1. Functional styles
2. Stylistic aspects of formal English
3. Colloquialisms as a characteristic feature of informal vocabulary
4. Dialectal and territorial vocabulary variations
5. Different varients of English.
1. Functional styles
The term "stylistics" denotes a new discipline surveying the entire system of expressive resources available in a particular language. Linguistically a functional style may be defined as a system of peculiar expressions which belong to a specific sphere of communication. By the sphere of communication is meant the circumstances attending the process of speech in each particular case: a professional communication, a formal letter, a lecture, an informal talk, etc. All these circumstances or situations can be classified into two types: formal and informal.
The term "formal English" is used to cover those varieties of the English vocabulary that occur in books and magazines, what we hear from a lecturer, a public speaker or, possibly, in formal official talk. Informal vocabulary is used in personal everyday communication and may be determined socially or regionally (dialect).
Accordingly, functional styles are classified into two groups, with further subdivision depending on different situations.
2. Stylistic aspects of formal English
Formal style is restricted to formal situations. Literary-bookish words (the so-called learned words) belong to the formal style and fall into further subgroups:
1) officialese – words of the official, bureaucratic language (they should be avoided in speech and in print), e.g. assist (for help), endeavour (for try), proceed (for go), inquire (for ask), etc. An official letter from a Government Department may serve as a typical example of officialese. It goes: "You are authorized to acquire the work in question by purchase through the ordinary trade channel". Such sentence can be translated into plain English as: "We advise you to buy the book in a shop".
2) literary words – are mostly polysyllabic drawn from the Romance languages and, though fully adapted to the English phonetic system, some of them continue to sound foreign. They are associated with the lofty contexts in which they have been used for centuries. Their sounds create complex and solemn associations, e.g. solitude, fascination, felicity, illusionary, etc.
3) poetic diction – lofty words, as a rule more abstract in their denotative meaning, sometimes archaic, colouring and traditionally used only in poetry. The following examples are given in oppositions with their stylistically neutral synonyms, e.g. array::clothes, gore::blood, hapless::unhappy, ye::you, albeit::althoug.
4) archaic and obsolete wordswhich are no longer in general use or out of use for at least a century, e.g. morn (for morning), eve (for evening), damsel (for girl), kin (for relatives), etc.
5) barbarisms – are words or expressions borrowed without any change in form and not accepted by native speakers as current in the language, e.g. entre nous (confidential), en regle (according to rules), bon mot (witticism), etc.
6) literary neologisms – are words and word-groups that denote new concepts, e.g. roam-a-phone ("a portable telephone"), graviphoton ("a hypothetical particle"), NIC ("newly-industrializing country"), etc. Among neologisms we can find the so-termed occasional words (or nonce-words) coined for a particular situation or context and aimed at a certain stylistic effect; some nonce-words coined by famous English authors have penetrated to the Standard English vocabulary and are registered in dictionaries, e.g. Lilliputian (J.Swift), snob (W.M.Thackeray), etc.
7) potential words – are words based on productive word-formation patterns and devoid of any stylistic colouring. Most of them compose numerals (e.g. thirty five, four hundred and sixteen), adjectives with the semi-suffix like (e.g. moth-like, soldier-like) and some other widely distributed patterns. Being easily coined and understood, potential words are not registered in dictionaries.
8) professional terminology includes special medical vocabulary, special terminology for psychology, botany, music, linguistics, teaching methods and many others. Term is a word or a word-group which is specially employed by a particular branch of science, conveying a concept peculiar to this particular activity, e.g. bilingual, palatalization, labialization (terms of theoretical phonetics).
3. Colloquialisms as a characteristic feature of informal vocabulary
Colloquial words are charecteristic feature of the informal style of spoken English. We distinguish literary and non-literary colloquial words.
Literary colloquial words are informal words that are used in every day conversational speech both by cultivated and uneducated people of all age groups and also met in written literary texts.They are closer to neutral words, both etymologically and structurally than to bookish words, e.g. pal and chum are colloquial equivalents of friend, bit and snack stand for meal, to have a crush on somebody is a colloquial equivalent of to be in love. Affixation predominates here, especially suffixation forming diminutives like -ie, -y, -kin, -ette, -let, -ish, etc. For example, birdie, kitty, daughterkin, kitchenette, piggish and others. A considerable number of shortenings, post-positional adverbs, hyperbolic expressions are found among the words of this type, e.g. pram, exam, phone, lab, zip (shortenings); put up, put over, make up, make out, do away (post-positional adverbs); awfully nice, terribly sweet, unutterably exotic (hyperbolic expressions), etc.
Literary colloquial words are to be distinguished from familiar or non-literary colloquialwords. It is possible to discern slang, jargonisms, professionalisms and vulgarisms.
Slang is a "language of a highly colloquial style, considerd as below the level of standard educated speech, and consisting either of new words or of current words employed in some special sense" (Oxford English Dictionary). All or most slang words are current words whose meaning have been metaphorically shifted. Each slang metaphor is rooted in a joke, but not a kind or amusing joke. This is the criterion for distinguishing slang from colloquialisms: most slang words are metaphors and jocular, often with a coarse, mocking, cynical colouring and figurative, e.g. attic ("head"), beans ("money"), saucers ("eyes"), soaked ("drunk"), etc. The circle of users of slang is more narrow than that of colloquialisms. It is mainly used by young and uneducated. A considerable part of slang may become accepted by nearly all groups of speakers because they are not specific for any social or professional group. Therefore, such terms as "army slang", "school slang", "sea slang" and such like are rather inaccurate.
Jargonisms are informal words peculiar for a certain social or professional group, for example such words as a bird ("rocket", "spacecraft"), to grab ("to make an impression on somebody) are words of newspaper's jargon; grass, tea, weed ("narcotic") – drug addicts' jargon.
Jargonisms should not be confused with the so-called professionalisms which are words connected with the producrive activities of people united by a common occupation or profession. They are understood only by the members of a certain professional group. Thus, for instance conversational expressions peculiar to physicists in M.Wilsom's "Live with Lighting", e.g. to shoot holes through means to find drawbacks in the instalment, spark-over – short circuit, to kick up – to shift, a run – an experiment, spotty – unstable, etc.
Vulgarisms are rough words, oaths and curses. Some of them are very stable, established by long use. They include:
a) expletives and swear words of abusive character, e.g. the devil, the hell, damn, bloody, what the hell, go to the devil, etc.
b) obscene (or taboo, four-letter) words which are highly indecent.
4. Dialectal and territorial vocabulary variations
Standard English is defined by the Random House Dictionary as the English language written and spoken by literate people in both formal and informal usage and that is universally current while incorporating regional differences (Random House Dictionary of the English language. College Edition. N.Y., 1968).
Vocabulary of standard English is contrasted to dialect words or dialectisms belonging to various local dialects, which are varieties of the English language peculiar to some districts and having no normalized literary form. Regional varieties possessing a literary form are called variants. There are two variantsin Great Britain: Scottish English and Irish English. And there are five main groups of dialects: Nothern, Midland, Eastern, Western, Southern. Each of them contains several (up to 10) dialects.
One of the best known Southern dialects is Cockney or "London language", the regional dialect of London. It has deep historical roots. In the 16th century, Cockney was simply the language of all Londoners who were not part of the Court, and was spoken by all sorts of people, craftsmen, clerks, shopkeepers and tradesmen. The transformation of Cockney into the working-class speech of East London occured in the 18th century. The City of London was quickly changing into the richest square mile in the world, and the old City dwellers – street traders and artisans were driven out. They took their distinctive accents to the docklands of the East End, where they were joined by thousands of farmworkers driven out by the industrial revolution to London from neighbouring countries of Essex, Suffolk, Kent and Middlesex. These country immigrants added their speech traditions to the "London language". During the Education Acts of the late 19th century, the emphasis on "correct English" and the three Rs (considered as forming the base of childrens' education. The expression comes from the sound at the beginning of words "reading", "writing" and "(a)rithmetic") isolated the speech of the London working class. Cockney attracted the attention of many writers such as Charles Dickens (the street-talk of Mr. Pickwick's devoted servant in "Pickwick Papers"), Jack London ("The People of the Abyss"), George B. Shaw (from a Covent Garden flower seller Eliza Doolittle in "Pygmalion"), etc.
The typical pronunciation features of Cockney are as follows:
a) "th" is replaced by "f" or "v", e.g. "barf" for "bath", "bruvver" for "brother" etc;
b) saying [ai] instead of [ei], e.g. [taik] instead of [teik], [`paiin] instead of [`peiin], etc;
c) finding the [n] missing from "ing" endings like "eatin", "drinkin", "shootin", "fishin";
d) the characteristic long [u:], for "ew", e.g. [stu:] for "stew", [nu:d] for "nude", [nu:z] for "news";
e) the characteristic rhyming slang, in which some words are substituted by other words rhyming with them, e.g. a bull and a cow for row, pot and pan for man, twist and twirl for girl, weeping willow for pillow.
5. Different varients of English
The variety of English spoken in the USA has received the name of American English. It cannot be called a dialect although it is regional variety, because it has a literary normalized form called Standard American whereas a dialect has no literary form.
An Americanisms may be defined as a word or set expression peculiar to the English language as spoken in the USA, e.g. cookie (a biscuit), guess (think), store (shop), etc. An American variant of the English language differs from British English in pronunciation, some minor features of grammar, but chiefly in vocabulary. Besides the American English there are Irish, Scottish, Australian, Canadian ones. Each of these variants has developed a literature of its own, and is characterized by peculiarities in phonetics, spelling, grammar and vocabulary. Thus, for example, Canadian English is influenced both by British and American English, but it also has some specific features of its own. Specifically Canadian words are called canadianisms, e.g. shack (a hut), to fathom out (to explain).There are some examples of Australian English: stockman (herdsman), bullock (to work hard), a puncher (the man who conducts a team of oxen) and some others.

Taveuni teams on the grow
Submitted by Helen Sykes
Garden Island Resort in Taveuni, Fiji Islands, lies ten minutes from the Somosomo Straits, a of prime dive region especially famous for soft corals and abundant fish life. Staff at Aquatrek Taveuni have been trained in Reef Check techniques since January 2002, and take an active part in annual surveys of the reef system.
In January 2004, training in Reef Check techniques for new staff and retraining for old staff took place, and six sites were surveyed. Training was conducted by Helen Sykes, one of two Fiji Reef Check Coordinators. The reefs surveyed are popular dive sites collectively known as the Rainbow Reef, between the islands of Vanua Levu and Taveuni. Three sites (the Great White Wall, Blue Ribbon Eel Reef and Sem?s Point) have been annually surveyed since 2002. Three new sites (Small White Wall, The Corner and Jerry?s Jelly) were surveyed on this occasion, and will be regularly monitored from now on. Taken together, these sites will give a good representation of reef health in the entire area. Although a cyclone passed through the area in January 2003, the team found that the reef?s soft coral and fish population appeared unchanged, and new hard corals were seen to be growing swiftly on corals broken by the storm.
|Spotlight on Reef Check Site- Hong Kong
| Submitted by RC Hong Kong Coordinator, Keith Kei
Active since its start in 1997, RC Hong Kong reached new heights in 2003. Last year saw a record number of over 320 volunteers surveying a record 32 sites. The 3-month exercise starting June 28, 2003 covered the best coral growing sites known in the eastern part of Hong Kong waters extending from Ping Chau in the north to Ninepin Groups in the south.
In collaboration with Reef Check, the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department (AFCD) has coordinated annual surveys of corals in Hong Kong since 2000. AFCD has put in place a series of measures and programs to protect and conserve the coral communities in Hong Kong. They have organized a range of educational and publicity activities including public lectures, seminars and exhibitions to enhance public understanding of the importance of protecting the marine environment and coral communities. A book entitled "Hong Kong Reef-building Corals" was also published in mid-2003.
To protect coral communities from anchor damage, mooring and marker buoys have been installed in marine parks where recreation pressure is high. They also installed four marker buoys at Ung Kong Wan to mark off areas with high coral coverage and advise boat operators to avoid anchoring within the marked area. The initial results indicate that damage to corals caused by boating activities has been significantly reduced.
A leaflet teaching divers and snorkellers the best practices in visiting coral sites was published and distributed through diving clubs. Hong Kong scientists have just completed a study to verify and update all hard corals recorded in our local waters. A total of 84 hard coral species, from 28 genera of 12 families were confirmed. A coral field guide is under preparation and will soon be uploaded to the AFCD website.
Hong Kong government has designated four marine parks and one marine reserve for the conservation of marine environment.
In 2004, RC Hong Kong Coordinator, Keith Kei expects over 30 survey teams and even better results. For more information, including their 2003 results, check out the RC HK website.

Trainers were all JCRMN members representing participating organizations: the Centre for Marine Sciences and the University Sub-Aqua Club (USAC) at the University of the West Indies, the International Coral Reef Action Network (ICRAN) Project and the United Nations Caribbean Environment Programme (UNEP-CEP), the National Environment and Planning Agency (NEPA), Caribbean Coastal Area Management (CCAM) Foundation and The Nature Conservancy (TNC).
After the classroom sessions led by Malden Miller, a ?dry run? was done to clarify any misconceptions. Later in the afternoon, training in actual data collection was done under the supervision of the JCRMN trainers. The training also featured a talk by Krishna Desai, Manager of the Coastal Zone Branch of NEPA on the Blue Flag Certification Program to which Sandals International was subscribing and which now requires Reef Check monitoring of reef locations within 500 m of the shoreline. Afterwards the trainees collected data at Boscobel West (Channel Edge). These data will be analyzed and used to report on the status of the reefs at this site. The workshop has generated great enthusiasm among the trainees who are now looking forward to collecting data from their respective locations.

Film For Discussion, Sydney Women's Film Group 1973
This is a still of me and screen mother Jovana Janson from Film for Discussion a film Sydney Women's Flm Group made in the early 1970s. I play a young woman in a crisis about work, life and identity- triggered by her encounter with feminism. The film was nominated for Best Documentary, Greater Union Awards, Sydney Film Festival 1974. SWFG was one of the first Australian groups to establish itself in the name of 'Women's Liberation'. Film For Discussion is a docu-drama shot in 1970 and completed until 1973. The film sought to encapsulate in an experimental form issues that were under discussion within the Women's Liberation Movement and so contribute to action for change. The link is to Ballad Films the website of Martha Ansara, my friend and colleague. Martha was a key person in my becoming a filmmaker, alongside my Dad who was a film exhibitor. It was Martha who introduced me to the actual possibility of women making their own films. It doesn't seem that radical in 2017, but in 1969 it was! Go on this site and order a copy of the film and also see other films to purchase by Ansara. Film For Discussion screened this year (2017) in Feminism and Film: Sydney Women Filmmakers, 1970s-1980s at Sydney International Film Festival.

'From archive into the future'
|Sydney Film Festival Retrospective June 2017
Feminism and Film Sydney Women Filmmakers, 1970s-1980s
L-R filmmakers Jeni Thornley, Megan McMurchy, Susan Charlton (curator),
Margot Nash, Martha Ansara
'From archive into the future'
A great review in this latest issue of RealTime by Lauren Carroll Harris. She writes about 'For Love or Money' (McMurchy, Nash, Oliver & Thornley 1983) and the recent Sydney Film Festival's Retrospective Feminism & Film: Sydney Women Filmmakers, 1970s & 1980s
"For Love or Money stands today as a major work of historical research, a masterclass of montage editing and a classic essay film".
|still from For Love or Money: Barmaids Strike, Newcastle c 1962
(Tribune Archives, thanks Martha Ansara)
Digging around in this past (and also our present) collective memories are faded for exact dates and the narrative around these early filmmaking days. After all I was 21 when, with Martha Ansara and the Sydney Women's Film Group, we started workshopping Film For Discussion (1974), and now 44 years has passed!
We all see and experience this early history from our own perspective and involvement- so the dates and details will naturally differ. I remember being part of the SWFG formation, The Sydney Filmmaker's Co-op, Women Vision, The Women's Film Workshop 74; the lobby for 50% female intake into AFTRS in IWYear 1975, the International Women's Film Festival 1975, the Women's Film Fund (I became Manager in 1984-85); and later the Women's Film Units, FFW formation 1978; Film Action formation, and all the inter-related women's groups (like Women and Labour etc) and the many political organisations all connected.
- Feminist Film Workers formed in 1978 (as a splinter group of the Sydney Women's Film Group). The membership of this seven member group was: L-R Beth McRae, Carole Kostanich, Sarah Gibson, Jeni Thornley, Martha Ansara, Margot Oliver, Susan Lambert
- With a Women's Film Fund Grant, FFW set up at the Women's Warehouse, Ultimo (Sarah Gibson became the full time distribution worker). The Women and Work Film's (later FLOM's ) first office was in WWH (me, Margot Oliver and Megan). Later we moved to edit the film with our editor Margot Nash at 'Lorraine', Redfern.

Also Don't Shoot Darling : Womens Independent Filmmaking in Australia (ed Blonski 1987) has several articles on women and film groups (by Jenni Stott and Jeni Thornley) incl photographs connected to the FFW (by Sandy Edwards).
"In 1979 the Minto Discussion Weekend was held where women filmmakers and theorists came together to debate film, politics and theory. It was an initiative of the Feminist Film Workers who formed in 1978 as a splinter group of the Sydney Women's Film Group to focus specifically on education, distribution and exhibition of feminist films."
"In 1979 the Catalogue of Independent Women's Films was published by the SWFG (ed B.Allysen). Early in 1979, a full-time position in distribution at the Coop was secured for a women's filmworker, after the FFW were able to show that the rental of women's films accounted for 50% of the total rental income at the Co-op. In the same year, the FFW secured a grant of $20,000 from the Women's Film Fund to operate an office away from the Co-op and pay a full-time worker who would who would engage in the promotion of the feminist films in its collection, to increase print sales...The Co-op continued to handle the rental of FFW's films, however" (Stott in Blonski (ed) 1987: 120).
With the Women's Film Fund Grant, and with Sarah Gibson as full time distribution worker, some of the events and activities of FFW included:
- The Film/Theory practice weekend, Minto, Nov 1978 (Martha Ansara wrote a Film News essay
- "Women propose a New Feminist Cinema", Season Sydney Film-Co-op, Dec 1978
- "The Image of Women in Australian Feature Films" Forum, Sydney Film Festival June 1979 (Carolyn Strachan presenter).
- Publication of FFW Discussion Papers No.1, 1979) (Thornley in Blonski (ed) 1987: 89-92).
A note: the 2017 Melbourne Women in Film Festival (MIFF http://www.mwff.org.au) tributed our 1975 International Women's Film Festival that toured all Australian capital cities. There were collectives in all states. I was involved as one of several National Co-odinators - the list of International films and Australian films we curated for the Festival is impressive. This Festival was a significant introduction to the history of international women's filmmaking which we had been so little exposed to in Australia. For many of the international films we negotiated distribution contracts with Sydney Filmmakers Co-op (Sian Mitchell MIFF Co-ordinator) and I are currently trying to locate the whereabouts of these prints).
The MIFF 2017 program included a program which revisited the aims of our original Festival (this meant a lot to me, as I spent more than a year working on this Festival). Also MIFF screened my first film (with Dasha Ross) Still Life 1974 and linked the festival to peephole online film journal, which in March 2017 published several essays on the 1975 festival and women's filmmaking.
"This edition of Peephole Journal looks to commemorate not only the launch of the Melbourne Women in Film Festival, but to give some attention to the diversity of women's filmmaking, the multitude of women's perspectives evident in its storytelling, and the place of women in criticism.
I wrote this essay, Looking at Women and Festival Director Sian Mitchell writes about the 75 Festival and MIFF in her editorial;and Loma Bridge writes about Anne Severson's Near the Big Chakra (1975) and Sharon Hennessey's What I Want (1971): Statu[t]es of Liberties...

Your body is highly adaptable, both in a positive and negative way. What you teach it, it will do. This is known as the body becoming its function through repetitions, with repetitions being the mother of skill. So, knowing this physiological fact why would you want to stretch, unless of course you were teaching your body how to stretch more effectively?
Some exercise enthusiasts / fake trainers might tell you one should stretch to warm up the muscle, which is a fair assumption, but it's just an assumption that's inaccurate. Truth is, even if you should stretch it wouldn't be before the actual exercise being performed.
Here's the scoop. Most who stretch, do it improperly to the extent they expose muscle, tendons and ligaments to injury because of hyper stretching. In addition, stretching can cause inflammation to tendons which leads to tendinitis, even weakening muscle strength by 30%. Let's be clear, I'm not saying you shouldn't stretch as long as it's done properly, but the fact remains, it's a waste of energy. Clients beware, if your trainer is having you stretch, ask them why.
Stay tuned for more truth talking...

2005-07-26 – "Fatalism or Opportunity"
There is a time for everything and a season for every activity under heaven.
A time to be born and a time to die,
A time to plant and a time to uproot,
A time to kill and a time to heal,
A time to tear down and a time to build,
A time to weep and a time to laugh,
A time to mourn and a time to dance,
A time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
A time to embrace and a time to refrain,
A time to search and a time to give up,
A time to keep and a time to throw away,
A time to tear and a time to mend,
A time to be silent and a time to speak,
A time to love and a time to hate,
A time for war and a time for peace. Ecc3:1-8
We're going to reflect on what I think is one of our most valuable commodities: Time.
To kick off, I want to repeat a meditation from the series on Ecclesiastes, because there is no better place to start than the Teacher's poem on time…
This passage is one of the most oft read and quoted passages in the Old Testament. But it seems that while many people have loved this piece of poetry, there are different understandings it.
For some this is pure fatalism – everything in life is pre-ordained – "Your time is your time." – God does as He pleases and we have little choice in the matter. For others this passage is just a description of life as it really is – "You have to take the rough with the smooth you know…" Others have used this passage to justify themselves – almost always as an excuse to go to war or do something like that.
But what did the teacher (the author) mean? In the verses that follow a number of perspectives emerge:
Firstly: At the end of the day, God is sovereign and nothing happens that is outside His control. But rather than giving us the sense that we live under the rule of a Tyrant, this knowledge should fill us with a sense of praise. Jesus reminded us that even the hairs on our heads are numbered. This is an indication of the Father's loving attention to detail. ("I know that everything God does will endure forever; nothing can be added to it and nothing taken away from it. God does it, so men will revere Him."3:14) There are times that God's will, even though we cannot fathom it, will endure.
Secondly:We can kick against the rhythmns and cycles of life or we can embrace them and find meaning in them. The Teacher uses work as an example: Work can be seen as a burden and as toil that is subject to the cycles of life ("What does the worker gain from his toil? I have seen the burden God has laid on men." v9-10) Or we can realise that the cycles of life shape us for something greater than this life and that even when we don't understand it, God is at work. ("He has also set eternity in the hearts of men, yet they cannot fathom what God has done from begunning to end. I know that there is nothing better for men than to be happy and do good while they live." v.10) We are eternal creatures and the cycles of life shape us for the glory of eternity.
Thirdly, the roller-coaster of life may seem random and circumstantial to us, but when we choose to allow God to work in us and when we reach out to Him for His help, life will make better people of us. ("He has made all things beautiful in _His_ time." This is not fatalism or even positive fatalism ("Alles sal regkom – Everything will turn out OK") – we have a role to play and we must respond to the One who wants to make us more beautiful.
2005-07-27 – "Wise living – Part 1″
Be very careful, then, how you live–not as unwise but as wise, 16 making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. 17 Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord's will is. 18 Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit. 19 Speak to one another with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord, 20 always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
We have all read the poems and stories about time. How it passes us by and cannot be regained. How yesterday is gone and tomorrow is not yet and that all we have is today. Paul, while writing to the church in Ephesus, is concerned with the same issue. For him the passage of time is a queue of opportunities which can be used in three ways:
1. We can let opportunities slip by unnoticed.
2. We can use them badly – i.e. we squander them
3. We use them to God's glory.
The tough reality check for Paul is that the context in which we deal with these queued-up opportunities is a context that works against us: "The days are evil." We live in a world that is infected by our sinful natures and unfortunately we are, in a way, predisposed to making bad choices.
Why do I say this? Before we accept Christ, we are governed by a selfish, self-centered, self-directed nature that is the legacy of our separation from God. When we accept Christ, He gives us a new nature, but we constantly battle against our old natures.
This is why Paul has to constantly warn us that when we are dealing with the Opportunity-Queue, we need to be aware that there is a choice to be made with each opportunity: We constantly have to choose. Look at the passage:
— We can be wise or unwise, but the days are evil.
— We can be foolish or understand God's will
— We can get drunk either on wine or God's Spirit
The sobering thought is that Paul seems to hint that if we leave our lives on "autopilot" we will make wrong choices by default because the "days are evil."
Therefore, the first key to understanding time, is to realise that it is all about choices and that we have to consciously choose to use time well, because, in many ways, bad choices come naturally!
Tomorrow we'll look at some keys to using time well.
# Dear Lord. I'm often too lazy to be careful about the choices I make in the Opportunity-Queue of time. Please help me to be careful and choose well! Help me to be aware of the struggle, and to make a conscious decision to use time well. Amen.#
2005-07-28 – "Wise Living – Part 2″
Be very careful, then, how you live–not as unwise but as wise, 16 making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. 17 Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord's will is. 18 Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit. 19 Speak to one another with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord, 20 always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Eph5:15-20
Yesterday we saw that time is really a queue of opportunities which we can miss, misuse, or use well. There was also the sobering thought that our sinful natures predispose us to bad choices. Knowing all this, we are called
to make good choices.
How do we do this? Paul has some hints:
1. Understand God's will – get God's picture of reality. The worldview that gets thrust at us all the time helps us make bad choices: it is based on selfishness, temporary satisfaction, greed, and competitiveness – "Eat and
drink for tomorrow we die." A Godly perspective or worldview is based on people being more important than things, love being more important than power, generosity being more important than position or status – "Our time here on earth is training for heaven."
2. We need to realise that the world's temptations are intoxicating – we can get sucked in and lose contact with reality. We sometimes really believe that all those extra hours in the office really do matter while our spouses and
children lose out.
3. Drink deeply of God's Spirit – if we allow Him and open our hearts to Him – He will give us gentle reminders about what is right… How do we do this? If being drunk implies that the alcohol controls us, then being filled with the Spirit implies that we listen to His gentle prompting. The more we listen, the better our hearing gets.
4. We need to encourage one another with the principles of worship, praise, and celebration of life. These attitudes counteract the attitudes of cycnicism, criticism, and jealousy that underpin the rat-race. There is a
sense in which the Christian community needs to be a counterculture that always marches to the beat of a different drum.
5. Cultivate an attitude of joyful thankfulness. There is nothing that sorts out possession obsession, corporate climbing blues, and societal stress than a regular counting of blessings. When we do this regularly, we find that
people and not things are really important to us and that we are full people who overflow into life and not empty people who desperately need life's 'stuff' to fill us! And our gratitude is not an abstract gratitude, but a
clear focus on Christ who gave His everything to free us from the rat race.
# Dear Lord, time can be a rat-race or the opportunity queue of life. Help me to get my perspective right and be guided past the intoxicating temptations by the voice of Your Holy Spirit. Give me an attitude of gratitude and praise that will help others on the right way, even as they help me. Amen #
2005-07-29 – "The Brevity of Life"
Teach us to number our days aright, that we may gain a heart of wisdom. Psa90:12
This little gem comes from a psalm attributed to Moses. It has two other references to time:
- In speaking about God's perspective on time, he says: "For a thousand years in your sight are like a day that has just gone by." (vs.4)
- In speaking about our experience of time he says: "The length of our days is seventy years- eighty if we have the strength."
As I looked at this verse this morning, I realised that there is a striking deduction that one can make from this verse: If you want to see if a person is wise, look at how they use their time!
Wise people see time as a commodity to invest. They use time to add value and make a difference. They have learned to stop complaining about not having enough time – they just get on with using what is available to them. They are the ones who know that all people are given equal amount of time: 24 hours in the day. Wise people are the ones who know that cramming every spare moment with activity does not necessarily constitute good use of time. Wise people know the value of slowing down and resting as well as the importance of diligence when it is tempting to be distracted.
Wise people do not live in the past, but have learned from it.
They also do not live in the future, but they move decisively toward it.
They are rooted in the present and make it all count.
At age 33, in His high priestly prayer in John 17:3 Jesus says: "I have completed the work You set out for me!" What an incredible statement! You and I would say: "There are still people to heal, and parables to teach, how can you say that it is finished???" But Jesus understood that good time usage is not frantic activity or ticking off other people's agendas – it is discerning one's core mission and what needs to be done to achieve _that_.
We need help to use our time well, and so our prayer is guided by Moses:
#Teach us to number our days aright, that we may gain a heart of wisdom. Amen#
2005-08-02 – "Time for outsiders"
Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders: make the most of every
oportunity. Col4:5
Paul is writing to the church. Outsiders are those who were outside the church – people who were not believers. Our usage of time must include those who are outside.
We have been challenged to use time well. We have been reminded that there are priorities and values that we should put in place when we use our time. These priorities are God first, family second, job third, church fourth, and everything else after that.
Paul's call to be outsiders-orientated is a stark reminder that we should not become so heavenly-minded that we are of no earthly use. So often Christians have been accused of being "holier than thou" because they have
no time for people outside the Christian fold.
We need to use every opportunity to be wise in our dealings with outsiders. In the midst of our time usage, we will encounter people who do not necessarily share our frame of reference. We are to strive to deal with
them with integrity, humility, compassion, respect, and a servant heart.
It is not neccesarily that we always have to _make_ time for outsiders (although sometimes that will also need to be done) but more that we _use_ time to reach out to others in all the opportunities that God brings on our
13 Now listen, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money." 14 Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. 15 Instead, you ought to say, "If it is the Lord's will, we will live and do this or that." 16 As it is, you boast and brag. All such boasting is evil. Jam3:13-16
We grew up in an Afrikaans church and I was always puzzled by the abbreviation (DV) which appeared behind so many of the notices in our intimation sheet. It was only in my year of confirmation that our minister explained that these letters stood for the Latin phrase "Deo Volente" which means "If the Lord wills."
The thinking behind this phrase comes from this passage where James confronts his congregation about their cavalier attitude toward time. We talk about "my time" and we have very firm ideas about what _we_ will do with _our_ time.
James is promoting a more humble attitude. His argument is that we are not as ultimately IN CONTROL as we think! When we have an arrogant or cavalier attitude toward time, we are in danger of thinking that we are god. James is not saying that we should not plan and that we should not go about our business, he is simply calling us to be a little more humble and a little more open to God's leading and direction.
Does this mean that we have to write (DV) behind all our appointments? No. But I do it from time to time to remind myself that I am in His hands and that He is not subject to my diary and my agenda. Probably the most effective way to honour James' concerns here is to always be open to our plans being changed if we sense a Divine nudge in another direction!
2005-08-04 – "Living in the moment"
31 So do not worry, saying, "What shall we eat?' or "What shall we drink?' or "What shall we wear?' 32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
This short passage is part of a longer section in which Jesus urges His hearers to live a life of patient trust rather than a life of fearful worry. In terms of our focus on time – the important thing to concentrate on here is the urgent call to live in the present and not the future.
Being worried about the future is something that robs us of the joy of each day. Being afraid and concerned about tomorrow means that we don't do the today-things properly and this effectively hamstrings tomorrow. The very best way for us to take care of tomorrow is to do today well.
Jesus emphasises this here:
1. Being ridiculously stressed out about tomorrow is to be like a pagan – someone who does not trust God.
2. God knows what we need – the question is: Do we trust Him?
3. We are not passive in that we wait for a Divine Handout – we are active – pursuing God's will and plan – doing things His way!
4. We have very little control over tomorrow – we can plan all sorts of things but they can only be executed when tomorrow comes.
This does not mean that we don't prepare or save for tomorrow. It just means that we do what we can and leave the rest in God's hands. There is no point in stealing from tomorrow by stressing about it today!
2005-08-22 – "The Ultimate use of time"
Remember your Creator in the days of your youth, before the days of trouble come and the years approach when you will say, "I find no pleasure in them." Ecc12:1
We started our series on time with the Teacher's poem about the cycles of life, we end with another nugget from Ecclesiastes.
This verse launches a beautiful but sombre poem in which the Teacher explores the tragic possibility that a life may be lived without acknowledging the Author of life. As one reads the poem, there are some incredible images of the relentless passage of time and the inevitable process of aging:
- The keepers of the house tremble
- The strong men stoop
- The grinders (teeth) cease because they are few
- Those looking through the windows grow dim (fading eyesight)
- Men are afraid of heights and dangers in the street
The process of ageing cannot be avoided or ignored, and the Teacher's only advice is "Remember Him." We must remember that it is not only physical ageing that is at issue here…
It is God's presence, peace and strength in our lives that gives it meaning. Before we grow old and cynical it is vital that we reach out to God who is always reaching out to us. The danger is that life can make bitter and twisted people of us (we grow "old"). We _have_ to hear the Teacher's urgent plea: "Remember Him!"
When life is hard and we begin to feel that everything is meaningless, when we question the point and value of life, when we feel as though time is slipping through our fingers, and when we find very little in life that gives us satisfaction, then we are in danger of forgetting our Creator. When we find ourselves at a point of such absolute frustration with life, we need to reach out to the One who makes sense of it all.
It is significant that God is identified as Creator. The Creator has a purpose and plan, the Creator knows where everything is headed, and even when we deviate from His planned path and purpose, He will meet us where we are and be with us. When we remember our Creator, life will not necessarily "come right", but we'll find strength and comfort because the Creator is not bound by our brokeness – He can accomplish a new creation in us.
As time marches relentlessly on, remembering Him means the following things.
- He is the Creator and Source of life: We will find meaning nowhere else.
- He is the One Constant in a world of variables: He is our source of Truth and Guidance
- He is the Creator who re-creates us through Christ so that we are not bound to the past!
Remembering Him means that we walk with Him through the highs and lows of life and have His comforting guidance and perspective for each moment of time.

Klamath Falls, OR — The Taxpayer Association of Oregon has endorsed E. Werner Reschke for State Representative. The Taxpayer Association of Oregon is one of the lead organizations fighting against Ballot Measure 97, a proposed $3 billion/year sales tax on Oregon's most successful businesses.
In response to the endorsement, Mr. Reschke said,
"From the moment I first learned about Ballot Measure 97 I was opposed to the idea of yet another tax on Oregon businesses. As a business owner I know Ballot Measure 97 is exactly the wrong thing to do in order to create an environment where Oregon businesses can succeed and therefore create more jobs for Oregonians. The problem in Salem is not on the revenue side of the ledger but on the cost and spending side. This ballot measure does nothing to address the root cause to Salem's fiscal problems. Instead Ballot Measure 97 only encourages more tax-and-spend behavior.
Therefore, it is a high honor to be the only candidate in my race to be endorsed by the Taxpayer Association of Oregon in this fight against Ballot Measure 97."
E. Werner Reschke's campaign theme is "Your LIBERTY First." Werner commits to view every policy and legislation based on whether it infringes or promotes our liberty.
"Without liberty there cannot be prosperity for all." Mr. Reschke said.

CRAIG LEVEIN can't seem to get over his fixation with Scott Brown.
Last week we heard the Tynecastle manager take a swipe at the Celtic Captains approach on the field – citing players need more 'protection' from him.
This week, after Brown suggesting he got booked at Kilmarnock with his first foul as a direct result of Levein's intervention – the Hearts boss accused Scott of getting booked on purpose.
"I think if you look and see if Scott didn't get booked against Kilmarnock last week and he got booked against St Johnstone then he would have missed the Rangers game. I'll leave you to deduce what that means."
"I'm just pointing out one thing, that's all, I'm just pointing it out as a retort to his statement last week that it was me that got him booked."
These comments from a former Scotland manager and current top flight boss are nothing short of embarrassing.
Scott Brown has clearly got under his skin. The very fact that he's looked that information up and came loaded with it for his press conference is pretty amusing.

Back in the saddle again with slumping Pete Sampras, coach Paul Annacone said tennis experts would be foolish to "count him out" of capturing his 14th Grand Slam during the U.S. Open fortnight.
"I think so," Annacone told The Post when asked if Sampras can win his fifth Open title. "Great players tend to rise to big occasions. He's had a frustrating year. He needs good fortune to get a couple of matches under his belt. I like his chances. I wouldn't count him out. When he plays well, he's pretty tough to beat."
Before a chanting Ashe Stadium crowd, Sampras turned back the clock Wednesday with his 6-1, 6-4, 6-4, first-round slaughter of Albert Portas. That victory came on the heels of his first-round loss at the TD Waterhouse Cup on Long Island last week against unknown Frenchman Paul-Henri Mathieu that continued Sampras' ugly streak of 32 tour events without a title.
"One reason he didn't look too good is that kid played pretty unbelievable," Annacone said of Mathieu. "When you return Pete's serve like that, you're going to struggle. Did [Pete] play great? No. Was he terrible? He was far from terrible.
"We had a good week of practice. The most important part of the process is getting back not necessarily the physical level but the emotional level of maintaining it throughout the match, the right frame of mind and playing strategy the right way through a whole match. If he does that, the level will come. [Wednesday], I thought his level was pretty good. [Albert] Portas is not a bad player."
Sampras' coaching carousel has stopped at Annacone. In December, Sampras fired Annacone and hired longtime friend Tom Gullikson. That didn't work, and in the spring, he went with Jose Higueras. After Sampras flopped at Wimbledon in the second round, he called Annacacone. Higueras also works at the USTA, with Annacone, and Sampras needed a larger commitment.
"He talked about needing some continuity," said Annacone, who will be with Sampras for the duration of the year. "Pete felt he needed continuity. 'Do I spend the rest of the year trying to find somebody new and build that continuity or what do I do?' He said, 'I'd like you to try to help. Especially if you can just do it part-time, at least I know you well enough the continuity is there. We don't have to build a personal bond and spend three months on that.' He knows my personality and I know this. It's been great."
"It's not about me. It's about him feeling he's getting what he needs. If that's me, it's great. If it's not me, that's great too. He's just got to find out what that is."
