The Gaea Universe is a richly textured world of human relationships, futuristic space travel and exploration. The story's strength lies in its endearing characters and wonderful settings
Past News ReleasesRSS
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) August 21, 2008
Feature Film Producer Jack Binder (Reign Over Me, The Upside of Anger) today confirmed his deal to Produce the science fiction adventure film, Gaea: Beyond the Son via his Greentrees Films banner. The motion picture focuses on a father separated from his son through war, over thirty years and across two solar systems. "The Gaea Universe is a richly textured world of human relationships, futuristic space travel and exploration. The story's strength lies in its endearing characters and wonderful settings," said Binder.
Conceived and developed during the past three years by Australian Executive Producer David Lagettie and US/Oz writing duo Didi & Phil Gilson, Gaea: Beyond the Son is the initial installment of a trilogy. "At its core, Gaea is a universal story with sometimes flawed but noble characters," said Lagettie. "Set in 2049-79 the film's themes of family, space colonization and the dire consequences of climate change will engage a global audience. Dwindling natural resources and the lingering threat of nuclear war are backdrops of both hope and despair for mankind."
It was the human and social elements that first attracted Binder to the project, combined with engaging characters, suspense and stunning action sequences. "I was blown away by the visual worlds that the Gaea team created and how well the human and sci-fi action integrates," stated Binder. " I am thrilled to be a part of the team bringing this story to the big screen."
A full-length novel of Gaea: Beyond the Son (written by the Gilsons under their shared pseudonym P. D. Gilson) was quietly released late last year through small press Helios Publishing, and has become a surprise cult hit. Didi Gilson said, "It was always important to us that the novel stood on its own merits.
Wanting to gauge genuine reactions to the story as well as offer those people involved with making the film fuller backgrounds on its characters, we slipped it out in hardback without any marketing or fanfare." Didi's writing/producing partner Phil elaborated on the result, "The positive response has been amazing. Word of mouth and upbeat reviews saw the book reach many more readers than expected. We've been getting e-mails from fans eager to know how soon the sequel will be out."
The Gaea Universe will expand its reach into the video game world. Announced this week at the 2008 Leipzig Game Convention, Carrier Command: Gaea Mission is under development for PC and Next Gen Consoles by #1-selling studio Bohemia Interactive (Operation Flashpoint, ArmA: Armed Assault) and currently scheduled for a Spring 2010 release. "The online world is already ablaze with excitement over the announcement in Germany this week," according to Binder. This reinvention of the classic Carrier Command (1998), Carrier Command: Gaea Mission will be set in the Gaea Universe with a scenario written by the Gilsons, drawn from their upcoming second book of the series, Gaea: Sonrise, due for publication in 2009.
Bohemia Interactive CEO, Marek Spanel, is quoted as saying, "The vivid writing and compelling characters help us set this game in a believable universe." Lagettie adds, "Instead of simply retelling the story, the game offers players an environment where they can seamlessly immerse themselves."
Commenting on the cooperation between the two entities, Phil Gilson said, "The talent and effort of all the people working on this game is sensational. It's shaping up to be a landmark title."
Greentrees Films is currently shepherding the film into financing, distribution, casting, and preproduction immediately, with production commencing in 2009. "The phenomenal interest across the board has been impressive, with serious commitments in place already," according to Binder. Further announcements are expected shortly.
"Gaea: Beyond The Son" expands Greentrees Films' global reach. Binder, who Produced "Reign Over Me" starring Adam Sandler, Don Cheadle and Liv Tyler in New York & Los Angeles, "The Upside of Anger" starring Kevin Costner and Joan Allen in Michigan and London, with several other features and premium television programs set in both the United Kingdom and U.S.A. Greentrees Films will have Binder Produce recently acquired drama "He Made The Stars Also" written by Heidi Greensmith set on the Cornwall coast of England. Binder, a Detroit, Michigan native, also owns Michigan Film Production (http://www.michiganfilmproduction.com), a company he created to take advantage of the new Michigan Film Incentives and to provide Michigan film production services and resources to the international film production industry shooting in Michigan. Additionally, Binder is Founder and President of Film Budget.com (http://www.filmbudget.com) which provides the global entertainment industry accurate and proven film and television production budgets and shooting schedules and film production tax incentives support.

Relocation to London- Opening a Bank Account
Before your relocation to London it's a very good idea to start to talk to your London relocation services company about how to open a bank account prior to your arrival. If you arrive after your relocation UK and try to just walk into a bank and open an account you may be in for a very unhappy experience. The UK banking system requires an awful lot of paperwork, again some of this can be covered with your London relocation agent, obviously the proof of address would be one thing the relocation agent can verify, and proof of ID you'll have with your passport. Still, even if you haven't arrived and don't have a London apartment address, you will want to try and open your account prior to your international relocation. This way you aren't in dire need of an account and if there are problems you will have time to work them out from home before moving to London.

After working for four years as a GP in a busy inner city practice as well as a branch surgery consisting of a converted shack in an informal settlement, I got married and we decided to move to the UK.
I initially worked as a Senior House Officer in Dewsbury, West Yorkshire, completing posts in General Medicine, Paediatrics and Obstetrics and Gynaecology, before joining the GP training scheme in Scarborough.

Troense sailing club is going to be host for the World Championship in the legendary Star boat. About 80 crews from more than 20 countries are going to race on Lunkebugten in July
You cannot miss this trophy. Right now the sun is sparkling in this huge trophy on the table standing outside Troense sailing club.
The beauty of the trophy can be discussed. But you cannot discuss the names of many of the sailing history´s super stars that are engraved in the more than 100 years old trophy. One of the names is Poul Elvstrøm and Dennis Conner. Elvstrøm´s name is mentioned twice . Mr Americas cup, Dennis Conner three times.
-The legendary Star boat
Star is an international keel boat designed in 1911 by the American Francis Sweisguth (1882-1970)
The star boat´s edged hull and flat bottom has kept it´s originally shape. A large main sail and a light and flexible rig require both a good physical condition and good technical knowledge from the crew of two men.
More than 8400 star boats have been built, the first boats in wood and from about 1970 in glass fiber with alumast. There are more than 2200 Star boats actively racing today from 40 different countries. There are about 15 Star boats actively racing in Denmark .
It is the oldest Olympic class, having first been used in competition in 1932 until 2012 (except in 1976)
Main data:
1479 Lbs
Sail Area
26.5 Sq. M
285 Sq. Ft.
Sail; Main sail 20,5 m2 , fok 7,5 m2. Originally gaff rigged now Bermuda rigged
Sail mark: a red star with 5 peaks
Known Star boat sailors; The president of the USA John F Kennedy and his brother Robert. Also the world class sailors Dennis Conner (WM- Gold 1971, 1977 and 1978) and the danish Poul Elvstrøm (WM gold 1966 and 1967) sailed the Star.
Website for star WM in Troense sailing club; starworlds2017.com
Jury at the World Championship in Troense is Thomas Jørgensen, Horsens. Earlier sailor from Svendborg and still with close connection to the sailing activities in the South of Funen. On Thomas´ CV you can find Jury jobs at seversl Olympic Games and Svendborg Classic Regatta.
Packed in quite a large box the trophy was transported from Miami in Florida to Troense harbour. Star sailor Rune Schytt-Nielsen, Thurø brought the trophy back. He participated in the race Baccardi Cup in Florida and in a meeting in the Star boats international organization (ISCYRA). Rune represented Troense Sailing club which is hosting the World Championship for Star boats from 29th June to 9th July this year. Latest hosted by ; Buenos Aires and Miami….
The valuable Trophy is kept by the main sponsor Fynske Bank, Svendborg until the World Championship is taking place.
-The harbour will be cleared and closed (for other boats)
The hosting of the World Championship is one of the most prestigious events ever in the sailing history of South Funen.
The sailing club is awaiting 80 crews (of 2 persons) and their families, friends and helpers. More than 20 countries are expected to be represented .
The event is going to be handled by Troense sailing club with base in their own relatively little harbour . This means that all the members´ own boats have to be removed from the harbour to make room for all the Star boats. No other "guest boats" are permitted in the harbour during the 10 days the event takes place. Near the harbour a 300 m2 pavillon village is built or rather a racing village. Everything is in the detailed process of the planning and Event manager and member of the board Torsten Jacobsen can show detailed drawings of the land base of the World Championship. Here the sailors can relax before and after the races, videos from the races will be shown, and you can get a refreshment while looking over the harbor.
-This will also promote South Funen
We are very happy for the unique support that we are getting from all over. Among others all the volunteers from the club, citizents living in Troense, sponsors, Svendborg Event and other sailing clubs in the area. Events of this kind is promoting all of South Funen says Flemming Sørensen Race manager and vice chairman in Troense sailing club.
-Troense has atmosphere
Rune Schytt-Nielsen and Flemming Sørensen are both active Star – sailors. This arose the first thoughts of getting a big Star event to Tåsinge. Troense sailing club has several times hosted the star boat sailors North European Championship "Henry Rasmussen Memorial Cup" (named after the world known boat designer from Svendborg). Troense got very good feed back and it was also mentioned to the Star Boats international organization (ISCYRA) that Troense had the potential of handling a World Championship for the legendary boat class.
It was supposed to be Europe this year. We won ahead of Monaco, St. Tropez and Napoli. Big cities can offer a lot, but we stated that Troense has atmosphere, the steering committee members say consisting of Mette Heide-Jørgensen, Per Rank, Flemming Sørensen, Torsten Jacobsen and Rune Schytt-Nielsen.
-Troense in the sign of the Championship
During the days of the championship a lot will be going on in Troense. By now the hotel is getting booked and so are "bed and breakfasts" and vacation homes in the area. Troense´s voluntarily driven grocery store is preparing for the championship. The old "steamer"/ ferry "Helge" is having extra tours during the event and Tåsinge hallen (the sports center) is reserved for measuring of sail, the great dinner and the awards ceremony where the big trophy will be handed over.

Rep. Mike Thompson to promote summer reading at JFK Library
Rep. Mike Thompson (D-Napa) will be visiting the John F. Kennedy Library in Vallejo to encourage children to read as many books as they can as part of California's 5th District's Summer Reading Challenge. This is the first year that Thompson– who represents Benicia as part of California's 5th District– has hosted the Summer Reading Challenge, which encourages students to read books from the Library of Congress' Summer Reading List. The program is intended for students ranging from kindergartners to eighth-graders and is broken off into three categories: grades K-2, grades 3-5 and grades 6-8. The Library of Congress encourages students to read a wide variety of recent books, including Anna Staniszewski's "Power Down, Little Robot" on the K-2 list, Max Brallier's "The Last Kids on Earth" on the 3-5 list, and Hal Johnson's "Fearsome Creatures of the Lumberwoods" on the 6-8 list.
"The congressman sees the Summer Reading Challenge as an opportunity to promote the Library of Congress's Summer Reading Lists which encourages students to read throughout this year's summer vacation and to hopefully instill a love for books in our young readers," Thompson's spokeswoman Megan Rabbitt said.
To participate in the Summer Reading Challenge, students will need to send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com with the following information: the student's name, the student's grade, the student's school, the parent's name and the parent's email.
"Students who participate will be invited to attend a recognition event at the end of summer, with special recognition for those students who read all of the books on their list," Rabbitt said.
In addition, Thompson will be at JFK Library on Thursday as part of the Afternoon Adventures program. For approximately 45 minutes, the congressman will be reading a selection of books from the Summer Reading List. Rabbitt said Thompson would likely be reading from the K-2 and 3-5 lists.
The event will begin at 4 p.m., Thursday, July 21, at JFK Library, located at 505 Santa Clara St. in Vallejo. The event is free and open to the public. Children and families are welcome to attend. For the Summer Reading List, visit ala.org/alsc/2016-summer-reading-list.

An illustrator is a narrative artist who specializes in enhancing a writing by providing visual representation that corresponds to the content of the associated text. The illustration may be intended to clarify complicated concepts or objects that are difficult to describe textually, which is the reason illustrations are often found in children's books.
An illustration may be used in advertisements, greeting cards, posters, books, newspapers, and magazines. During the first decades of the twentieth century the large magazines dominated the entertainment market. Before photos could be mass printed the illustrator ruled over publishing and became the rock stars of their day. Click on Leyendecker's signature (above right) for a short video.
Pre-dating Hollywood movie stars the artists whose illustrations delighted the fancies of millions of Americans became celebrities and therefor the subject of headlines, much gossip fan clubs and collectors. The one notable exception was J.C. Leyendecker (right).
During his life he was withdrawn, almost reclusive solitary man whose inner conflicts (which must have been great) were kept very private. He did not leave any written records, journals or diaries about his life and only two written sources exist to provide any insight into the artist himself: J.C. Leyendecker (1974) by Michael Schau and My Adventures as an Illustrator (1960) by Norman Rockwell.
Just as Charles Dana Gibson presented his public with the distinctive mark of the patrician American woman, so did J.C. Leyendecker establish the fashionable American man. His "Arrow Collar Man" is the square jawed, aloof, unconquerable, gentleman who, for decades, became the symbol of what manhood should be.
In New York, J.C. Leyendecker had become among the city's most prominent illustrators, his work appearing in many national magazines. It was his commercial work that established him most rapidly as one of the most sought after illustrators of his day. Cluett, Peabody & Co., Inc. hired him to crerate the art for a campaign to advertise their Arrow brand detachable shirt collars. The so called "Arrow Collar Man" became a mega-star overnight, his elegant hauteur used to sell several hundred styles of shirt collars. The Arrow Collar man represented a phenomenon which Michael Schau described in his book, J.C.Leyendecker like this:
"...Today it's difficult to imagine the sensation created by Leyendecker's pictures. Fan mail for one model or the other arrived at Cluett, Peabody by the ton, and in one month in the early twenties the Arrow Man received 17,000 fan letters, gifts, marriage proposals, and notes threatening suicide. A deluge surpassing even Rudolph Valentino's mail at the star's apex..."
His success with the Arrow campaign drew the attention of other clothing manufacturers as well and J. C. began producing fashion illustration for companies like Hart Schaffner & Marx, B. Kuppenheimer and Interwoven Socks.
He continued his commercial work and between 1903 and 1943 his covers for the Saturday Evening Post appeared on all the Holiday issues (always their biggest sellers) and on many issues in between. The idea to use a baby (CLICK HERE) to represent the New Year was Leyendecker's and his good natured characters strutting across the pages of the magazine inspired Norman Rockwell in creating his first cover for the Post.
His meticulous work habits were marred only by his tendency to rework a painting so many times that he was at continual risk of missing deadlines. Here is Norman Rockwell's account of how J. C. would execute one of his paintings:
"...He would make endless little sketches from the model, two or three of the hands, a couple of the head, the torso, the eyes, the folds of the dress, the shoes, until he had everything drawn exactly as he wanted it. Usually he filled three or four canvases in this way. Then he would combine the sketches on another canvas and that was his finished painting. By working in this way, he explained, he could forget about draftsmanship and concentrate on the model and the situation. In painting, the whole isn't the sum of the parts, you have to see the whole thing at once all the time you're painting..."
His pencil or charcol sketches were only about 2 x 3 inches, the oil sketches only slightly larger. Dating from his days as a student in the Académie Julian in Paris, J. C. relied upon the traditional method of copying by "squaring up". With a straightedge as a guide, he drew pencil lines in a grid like pattern across the smaller sketch and bisected these squares with diagonal lines. By squaring up the larger surface with proportionately larger squares, and following the placement of the forms within each square on the sketch, he could transfer the smaller version onto the large surface almost mechanically.
For a single painting he might make dozens of oil sketches on canvas. A hand in several positions, the face with many expressions, the body posed in a different ways, squaring up the sketches he preferred and transferring to the larger surface with the squaring up technique.
Like many young movie & rock stars today, the sudden onslaught of success spelled big bucks for J.C. and changed the way he lived considerably. He spent his money as fast as he earned it. He had two brothers, the older Adolph and a younger brother Frank Xavier. The three Leyendecker brothers cut quite a trim figure and were as fashionable as any Arrow Collar Man and no less handsome as they strolled down the street in New Rochelle.
Norman Rockwell describes his first impression of the two brothers, J.C. and Frank:
"...they were quite short and walked in step, with a real military precision, the tips of their canes and their black and white saddle shoes hitting the pavement at precisely the same instant. They wore white flannels, double breasted blue blazers with shiny brass buttons and stiff straw hats. One-two, one-two, one-two they marched towards me. As they turned sharply without breaking step into our yard, I could see they were both very handsome, dark complexioned with high cheek bones and straight, delicately molded noses. Like Spaniards. And trim, well built, the line of their jackets falling straight from shoulder to hip..."
Brother F.X. Leyendecker had his own distinctive style (left) and was considered "the second" or "lesser" Leyendecker, as he was the younger brother of the longer lived and more prolific JC Leyendecker. In reality, FX paved the way for JC in almost every periodical and in every style that JC would master. Dozens of pieces show he was every bit as colorful, creative, entertaining and flamboyant as his older brother.
F.X. had an impressive catalog including posters, cover art, book plates, advertising, and more. His covers for Vanity Fair, The Humor, Life, and Vogue are stand-outs. Other covers and story work for Collier's, Saturday Evening Post, Leslie's, McClure's. Ads for Durham Hosiery, Remington Guns, Palmolive, Howard Watches, Willy's Motors.
F.X. and J.C. were now living in the lap of luxury and were the envy of everyone. Since childhood they had been inseperable, complementing each other in personality, the younger brother being more outgoing and social, the older more withdrawn and private. In 1914 the brothers had a mansion constructed in New Rochelle where Remington had lived and Rockwell would meet them as neighbors.

Norman Rockwell described the brother's relationship like this:
"...They had the same friends, would go everywhere together, even painted alike, though Frank never had Joe's facility or technical polish. They shared a secret medium (that's what you mix your oil paint with). Only Joe & Frank knew the formula. For years they kept it secret, refusing even to exhibit their pictures for fear that some artist would discover it. The use of this medium gave their paintings a special quality. You could see each brush stroke in the finished painting. Very distinctive..."
J.C. and Frank entertained with parties throughout the twenties and brings the F. Scott Fitzgerald novel "The Great Gatsby" to mind exploring themes of decadence, idealism, resistance to change, social upheavel and excess. Creating a portrait of the "Twenties Jazz Era" described as a cautionary tale regarding the American Dream. In spite of their closeness the differences between the brothers grew with time and success. The event which was to finally seperate them arrived like Yoko Ono and the Beatles in the form of one Charles Beach.

Illustrators like J.C. and Frank are given an assignment and a deadline. While J.C. was a fastidious man and could always deliver a creative piece and on-time, Frank denied that he was even interested in Commercial work claiming a preference for Fine Art, yet rarely producing any work in this area. Unlike his brother, who never missed a deadline, Frank would delay and procrastinate, refining and re-working his paintings, frequently losing the assignment altogether because of his inability to deliver.

Whatever differences the brothers may have had only grew with the arrival of Charles Beach. The Canadian born Beach arrived on 1901, visiting J.C. in his New York studio because, according to Rockwell's account…
…He had fallen in love with a girl in one of J.C.'s drawings, and had come all the way from Canada to meet her…
J.C. chose Beach to be the model for his first Arrow Collar ad, a decision he made because of Beach's outstanding looks. Rockwell wrote:
"…He was tall, powerfully built, and extraordinarily handsome. He looked like an athlete from one of the Ivy League Colleges. He spoke with a clipped British accent and was always beautifully dressed.…"
The relationship between Beach and J.C. Leyendecker was to last over fifty years. All his life Joe had been bound to his family. He supported his parents until their death and lived with his unmarried brother and sister Augusta until 1921, continuing to support her until his death in 1951.
With The Night Mail – (Rudyard Kipling)
Woven With The Ship - (Cyrus Townsend Brady)
Here on the right are three typical assignments given to Frank. Over the years Frank had grown increasingly neurotic about his work. Occasionally he would subvert an assignment on purpose in order to lose the account. He received fewer and fewer assignments as a result. Falling behind on his contributions to the mortgage payments he became irritated whenever Beach would make up the difference and yet made no real effort to improve his performance.
Beach no doubt, and perhaps deliberately came between the brothers, but the family remained dependent. The growing tensions finally erupted in 1922, and Frank moved out of the mansion, sister Augusta leaving with him in support. Eighteen months later on April 18, 1924 (...perhaps from the effect of drugs...) Frank was dead at forty seven years old.
Joe was deeply shocked by the death of his brother and became even more reclusive. He continued to live in the Mount Tom Mansion and only seldom left the premises. No longer commuting to New York he worked in a studio wing connected to the house. Beach ran all the errands in New York, paid all the bills and ran the estate. When Joe wasn't painting, he was tending his gardens or strolling around the estate, still handsomely dressed and with a distinguished air about him. Despite his sadness he continued to be extremely productive throughout the twenties and even into the mid-thirties his annual income was reported to be around $50,000 a year. A huge sum by today's standards.

More Leyendecker Covers on The Saturday Evening Post
Examining the above covers by J.C. offers little evidence of what happened on October 25, 1929. He seems insulated from the events that caused that particular date to be forever after known as "Black Tuesday". This event forever scarred that generation and what followed was a national agony until WWII ended the great depression.
"Black Tuesday" affected practically every single American. Perhaps it was J.C.'s credo of "...spending it just a little faster than you get it..." that saved him from the worst financial catastrophy in American history. Possibly he was not as heavily invested in the market, even with his enormous salary. I see little sign of the agony of "The Great Depression" during the years he published the above covers.
In 1951, at the age of seventy-seven, J.C. Leyendecker died suddendly from a massive heart attack while sitting with Charles Beach on the patio overlooking his well tended gardens. Apparently overcome by the loss of his friend, Charles developed a severe drinking problem and passed away shortly after the death of J.C.. The estate had already been sold and the marevelous paintings dispersed.

Although I paint abstract work, I make the occasional foray into representation. Usually there is some event, like an art show for children in which I am participating. And of course at an earlier stage of my practice, I made only representational work.
|A series of dresses from 2004.
I used to do a lot of tiny dress paintings on 3" x 5" pieces of wood. There is something about the swish of fifties dresses which has always appealed to me. Add in the bright colours I love to use, and I found myself able to paint tiny dresses for hours. It's something fun and stress-less. I've sold a lot of these dresses to young girls, and their moms, and toyed with the idea of putting them on etsy.
Recently I attended the grad banquet for my son's high school. (As an aside, I am not a creeper mom, in Vancouver attending your child's grad is completely normal and required. Personally I would rather have not attended than had my parents at my prom, but those were more carefree times.) The girls at the banquet looked lovely. Bright vibrant colours are in style this spring and they looked like a flock of tropical birds in lovely plumage. I felt inspired to paint the whole kaleidoscope.
Luckily this inspiration carried through for a grad gift for my son's girlfriend. Emma is a wonderful girl: intelligent, beautiful and confident. When Sam first started going out with her, we teased him about how lucky he was and wondering what she saw in him! Fortunately for me, he never reads my blog, or I would be in real trouble right now. Anyway back to the art, I decided that I'd like to do a little painting for Emma, of the gorgeous red dress she wore to the banquet. Thanks to Facebook, I snagged a good photo and went to work. Using a 5" x 7" board, I began with a subtly patterned tissue over multiple layers of silver and pearl paint. Then I did a complementary green underpainting and then a final painting with reds, oranges, and pinks. I poured resin on the final product and then bought the perfect silver frame. And here it is:
|"Emma" 2011
Will she like it? Stay tuned, their ceremony is tonight and the dress is wrapped and ready to go.

Student exchange opportunities
Planning on an international exchange to complement your studies at ANU? Going on exchange can be a life changing experience. You can meet new people, discover new places, experience different cultures, learn more about international relations, and develop a well-rounded educational experience that is highly regarded by employers.
When should I go on exchange?
- Your third or fourth year in a five year program
- Your third year in a four year program
- Your second year in either semeser 1 or 2
- You need to plan early and you should also try to save any electives courses. This will make the selection of courses at a host institution easier.
If you are required to complete a group project or individual project, you need to factor these requirements into your degree plan. If you need to undertake an alternative study pattern to those in your program requirements at ANU, you must obtain the necessary approvals.
Exchange study for Advanced Computing and Software Engineering students may prolong your program duration as you are required to undertake an annual group project in third and fourth year. Please see your convenor for advice on varying your requirements.
If you are in the single Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) program, you should avoid going on exchange in your fourth year as you are required to undertake an annual individual research project. If this is unavoidable please make alternative arrangements with the convenor of ENGN4200 Individual Project, to vary your project requirements to enable a semster on exchange.
Students are required to have at least 24 units to complete their degree following an overseas exchange.
Students studying a combined program are required to consult both Colleges.
Where can I go on exchange?
The University and ANU College of Engineering and Computer Science has a number of exchange partners available.
Some partners have two semester exchange opportunities, while others have restricted placements. These details vary from year to year and it is best to check these details at the Student Mobility website or through Wattle.
How do I apply?
Application details are available on the Applying for exchange overseas page.
Places are limited and competition is high, so be prepared and don't miss out. The exchange application process starts long before the application deadline.
Where have our students gone on exchange?
Students from the ANU College of Engineering and Computer Science have gone on exchange in the UK, Switzerland, France, Sweden, USA, Canada, China, Hong Kong and Singapore.

Jennifer Aniston has been taking a lot of flack for the comments she made during a press interview about her new movie Switch, which opened Friday. Fox News Anchor Bill O'Reilly attacked her for glamorizing single motherhood and "throwing a message out to 12-year-olds and 13-year-olds that hey, you don't need a guy, you don't need a dad." What O'Reilly can pretend not to get, that the filmmakers fortunately do, is that it's dads themselves - not Aniston - who are giving young girls that message.
In a Los Angeles Times preview article about the film, the creative team discusses what many single moms already know. Women – like Aniston's character Kassie - choose to become mothers on their own, not because they know a glamorous life is ahead of them. Single moms raise their kids alone because a lot of men have a hard time coming to terms with growing up and accepting their roles as fathers. I don't know what Kassie's backstory is but if she was raised by one of the 9.8 million single moms in the United States, she knows it's doable, so can you blame her?
Wally, played by Jason Bateman is described as paralyzed by the idea of commitment and as someone who undermines relationships with "satirical barbs so sharp he should come with a warning label". At her insemination party, he swaps the donor sperm for his own Aniston unknowingly inseminates herself with it. The rest of the film is mostly concerned with Wally coming to terms with his actions. Ultimately the film is about men who can't be honest with themselves or the people around them. Men whose maturity levels are shown up by a child.
Conservative America is fixated on placing the family's destruction and the diminishing role of father's squarely on the shoulders of single mothers. Single mothers are blamed for the quality of the prison population. They're blamed for sponging off the system and bankrupting state governments. Usually they're also blamed for the father's unwillingness to stay.
Sure there are cases where women will do anything to sabotage a father's paternal rights but most of the single moms I know have had to stop waiting on the guys who abandoned their families because the responsibility was too overwhelming.
What ultimately is the root of the increasing number of single mothers in America – a number that has been steadily growing since the 1970s has little to do with women who chose to have families on their own. In actuality single mothers by choice make up a very small percentage of the population of single mothers.
Mothers are raising their children alone because of the inability of fathers to step up, take responsibility and stay.

Litigation Release No. 22714 / June 5, 2013
Securities and Exchange Commission v. Laidlaw Energy Group, Inc. and Michael Bartoszek, Civil Action No. 13 Civ. 3837 (ALC) (S.D.N.Y.)
SEC Charges Penny Stock Company and Ceo for Illegal Stock Offering and Insider Trading
The Securities and Exchange Commission today charged a microcap company that was ensnared in an SEC trading suspension proactively targeting questionable penny stocks, and also charged the CEO who illicitly profited from selling his shares while investors were unaware of the company's financial struggles.
According to the SEC's complaint, Laidlaw Energy Group and its CEO Michael B. Bartoszek sold more than two billion shares of Laidlaw's common stock in 35 issuances to three commonly controlled purchasers at deep discounts from the market price. Laidlaw did not register this stock offering with the SEC, and no exemptions from registration were applicable. Bartoszek knew that the purchasers were dumping the shares into the market usually within days or weeks of the purchases to make hundreds of thousands of dollars in profits. Laidlaw's $1.2 million in proceeds from these transactions was essentially the sole source of funds for the company's operations during most of its existence. Laidlaw, which is based in New York City, purports to be a developer of facilities that generate electricity from wood biomass.
The SEC alleges that these transactions diluted the value of shares previously purchased by common investors in the market, who were not told about the huge blocks of cheap stock Laidlaw was selling. Investors also were not aware that Laidlaw relied on these transactions to fund its operations entirely. The SEC suspended trading in Laidlaw stock in June 2011.
According to the SEC's complaint, Bartoszek also violated insider trading laws when he personally sold more than 100 million shares of Laidlaw common stock from December 2009 to June 2011, and he made more than $318,000 in profits. Bartoszek was in possession of material, non-public information while making these trades on the basis of his insider knowledge about Laidlaw's poor financial condition, the illegal fire sale of more 80 percent of Laidlaw's stock, and adverse developments about Laidlaw's business prospects. As a result of the volume of Bartoszek's sales and the lack of current, publicly available information about the company, these sales also violated the registration requirements of the federal securities laws.
The SEC further alleges that Laidlaw and Bartoszek made subsequent false statements about the ownership of Laidlaw shares in SEC filings to register certain common stock following the trading suspension. Laidlaw and Bartoszek misled investors to believe that the purchasers of the two billion unregistered shares had acquired them to hold as an investment in the company. The filings falsely represented that these purchasers were the current "beneficial owner" of more than 80 percent of Laidlaw's common stock, an assertion that only could have been true if the purchasers had not sold any of their Laidlaw stock. In fact, as Laidlaw and Bartoszek knew, the purchasers had long ago dumped all of the stock.
The SEC's action was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, alleging violations by Laidlaw and Bartoszek of Sections 5(a) and 5(c) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The SEC action also charges Bartoszek with violations of Section 17(a) of the Securities Act and secondary liability under Sections 20(a) and 20(e) of the Exchange Act for Laidlaw's violation of Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5. The complaint seeks, among other things, disgorgement of ill-gotten gains, with interest, financial penalties, and injunctive relief, as to both defendants. The SEC also seeks to bar Bartoszek from participating in future penny stock offerings and from serving as public company officers or directors.
The SEC's investigation has been conducted by Michael Paley, Haimavathi Marlier, and Todd Brody of the New York Regional Office with assistance from the Microcap Fraud Working Group. Mr. Brody and Ms. Marlier will lead the SEC's litigation.

Maximize the Natural Light in your Home
We're a lighting company, we know. We sell artificial lights for everything from table lamps to elaborate ceiling fixtures. But even we can't argue with the benefits of letting more good ol' fashioned sunlight into your home. Numerous studies have shown that daylight increases human productivity and comfort as well as helps regulate our circadian rhythms. Not to mention, natural light is easily the cheapest way to light your abode, saving you money in electricity. So what can you do to maximize the amount of natural light in your home?
1. Take full advantage of windows.
As the means by which daylight enters your home, you can start by taking full advantage of your windows. Draw your curtains back and open your blinds during the day. While it can be hot outside, avoid dark, light-blocking window films and go with translucent options instead. Consider opening your windows (with the bug screen left down, of course) to let in some fresh air when it's nice out. If you're fortunate enough to have a skylight, make sure it isn't blocked by tree branches or otherwise obscured.
2. Hang a mirror opposite from a window.
Hanging a large mirror across from a wide, open window is an easy way to amplify the natural light in your home. Experiment with different angles to see what new areas the light can reach. This is especially helpful for bringing more light into small rooms and making them feel larger.
3. Paint your ceilings lighter than the walls.
White walls and ceilings are ideal, but if you have darker wall paint and like it that way, paint your ceiling just a shade lighter to balance out your space. A white ceiling in an otherwise dark-hued room will make your space look uneven and oppressive, but even a slightly lighter-colored ceiling will make it feel more open and encourage any present sunlight to flourish.
4. Put up reflective wall décor.
We're not saying to go overboard, but reflective surfaces on your walls (similar to mirrors) can do a lot to brighten up your home. Shiny tile backsplashes in kitchens and bathrooms are an excellent way to accomplish this, while metallic wall art is a more trendy option. Picture frames, light fixtures or furniture in a glossy finish are other popular choices.
5. Purchase full spectrum bulbs.
So what if you simply don't have enough windows? Luckily, you can supplement your supply of natural light with full spectrum light bulbs. Full spectrum bulbs may or may not have a full spectrum label. They are defined as any bulb that simulates sunlight by emitting light in the same color temperature as the sun (at least 5000K). Because these lights are very bright, they are best used in kitchens or throughout open floor plans. If you go with an LED option, make sure the CRI is above 80.
None of this is to say that you can turn off all your regular lights for good. You'll still need a little manmade light for evening and nighttime, bad weather days, windowless rooms, and even for more precise lighting during daytime activities such as reading or putting on makeup. These tips are simply here to help you proliferate sunlight as the abundant and natural resource that it is—so take advantage!

The NCAA's investigation into Shabazz Muhammad — the UCLA freshman basketball player who was controversially ruled ineligible last week — took a strange turn overnight.
Baxter Holmes of the LA Times reports that the boyfriend of the lead investigator in the case, Abigail Grantstein, was overheard saying Grantstein knew Muhammad was "dirty" and would never play for UCLA on a flight from Chicago to Memphis on August 7.
The problem — the investigators only requested documents from the Muhammad family eight days before that flight, and didn't receive those documents until September 25.
Based on that timeline, Muhammad's lawyer told the Times this, "This confirms our greatest fears, that this case was decided long before the facts were gathered. This taints the whole process, and I think Shabazz should be able to play immediately."
Muhammad was ruled ineligible by the NCAA just hours before UCLA's first game of the year last weekend. The NCAA says he violated rules when a financial advisor named Benjamin Lincoln paid for three unofficial recruiting trips to UNC and Duke.
The Muhammad family says Lincoln has been a family friend for five years, and he should be allowed to pay for the trips.
The seeming pettiness of the violation, and the slow speed at which the NCAA has conducted its investigation, has sparked outrage on the UCLA campus. Flea, the bassist for the Red Hot Chili Peppers, wore a "Free Shabazz Muhammad" t-shirt while performing the national anthem on Friday, and UCLA players followed up by wearing "Free Shabazz" t-shirts during pregame warmups on Tuesday.
Muhammad was the No. 2 recruit in the country coming out of high school.
The NCAA says this is the first it has heard about the airplane conversation.

Where on Google Earth #249/
Elisabeth Kosters, who correctly identified the Bay of Fundy in WoGE #248, asked me to host her challenge for the next instalment. So here we are again. Welcome to WoGE #249.
Where on Google Earth is the best use of a high-speed internet connection since e-journals. If you are new to the game, it is easy to play. The winner is the first person to examine the picture below, find the location (name, link, or lat-long), and give a brief explanation of its geological interest. Please post your answer in the comments below. And thanks to the Schott Rule, which Elisabeth is invoking, newbies have a slight edge: previous winners must wait one hour for each previous win before playing.
So: where and what on Google earth is this?

Brand Voice & Collateral Development
Benton Hospice Service is an independent, non-profit group of professionals and trained volunteers who provide responsive, compassionate care for terminally ill persons and their families.
When Benton Hospice Service approached us they were hoping to update their look and feel, but were hesitant to stray far from their existing identity, which was well-known and respected in the community. Given the sensitive nature of hospice care, we communicated at length with Benton Hospice Service staff about their role in the community as caretakers, educators, and a source of support in times of need. As a result, we developed a new identity for Benton Hospice Service which brings a warm, contemporary vision to an already well-established local institution.

I have never had red velvet cake. I have never had anything that was red velvet flavored. It never really got me all the excited. Maybe Steel Magnolias armadillo cake ruined it for me... Either way I wanted to make some thing really valentinesy for all of you so I figured I would give it a shot! I am not really a big desserts/sweets person, unless it is froyo or chocolate sunflower almond butter! I am also not the best baker ever. I need freedom when I cook to do whatever I want and baking is fussy. I make some killer cake cookies so why not make them red velvet? So what makes red velvet red? I did a little research and most recipes use red food dye! Yuck. Beets are way better for you. Lets try that!
- cake mix, I used Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Vanilla
- 1/2 cup of beet puree (recipe below)
- 3 eggs
- 2 tbsp coca powder
Ingredients: for beet puree
- 2 small beets (cooked 3 cause the oven was on and they are pretty tasty!) Cut the greens off asap, they will drain the root. They can be cooked as any green or put in a smoothie.
- 2 to 4 tbsp water
- pie pan or something small to bake the beets in
- blender or food processor for beets
- cookie sheet
- large bowl
- stirring spatula
- zippy bag for getting batter on to the cookie sheet
- wire rack
Beet Puree
- Heat oven to 375.
- Place beets in pie pan
- Bake for about an hour, check with a knife or fork. If they are easily pierced they are done
- Now wait for them to COOL DOWN. Hot items in a blender is a very very bad plan. It will end up exploding everywhere and BEETS STAIN! You have been warned...
- Blend with water. If it sticks to the side use a spatula to push down sides. It will be very thick.
Cake Cookies
- Heat oven to 375.
- Mix dry ingredients till well incorporated.
- Add wet ingredients. Again be careful with the beet puree!
- Mix well.
- Pour/scoop batter into a zippy to make it easy to get on the pan. Cut a hole in one corner of the zippy.
- Squirt 2 inch diameter cookies.
- Bake for 10 mins, check at 8.
- When toothpick comes out clean they are done. Let cool on a wire rack
- Enjoy!
I love them! They taste a little earthy.
<3 Sarah

I remember these from Jains blog also..looks heavenly! Fantastic photos make them look completely irresistible...ReplyDelete
I remember these like yesterday..and I have the plates!!!ReplyDelete
I AM such a lucky person.
You did Jain proud!
Hi everyone, if you make them, I hope you can find nice BIG plump dried Blueberries (the kind Jain used).ReplyDelete
I bought Sunkist in a little opaque metallic silver/plastic pouch and was SURPRISED when I opened it to find that the blueberries were teeny, smaller than pea sized berries. I realize they have been dried and expected them to be small, but these were smaller than I expected. However, they were moist but very tiny and they dried out a little more that I would have liked during baking.
This recipe is going on my "easy, delicious, & favorites" file. Next time I'll look for larger dried berries. :)
If you try it with this combination of fruit and nuts, I hope you like it as much as we did. They are VERY good!
What a great idea to add blueberries to sticky buns! YUM!ReplyDelete
Just a note that I changed my blog address: http://www.megansmunchies.com/
Thank you Meg, I'll change it on my favorite list. Thanks for stopping by! :)ReplyDelete

Good gawd woman how did I miss this post?ReplyDelete

Great job on the photos!
Oh.... you are killing me...those look so good...better than good!ReplyDelete
L xoxox
Nice variation on sticky buns. These look very sticky and very yummy :)ReplyDelete
The word "easy" matters not. However, blueberry and almond rendered me powerless. Delicious combination.ReplyDelete
I love the idea of blueberries. It looks so yummy. ClariceReplyDelete

Rikumo Book Club: Haruki Murakami's "What I Talk About When I Talk About Running"
Author: Haruki Murakami
Pages: 179
Reading Time: Easily read in a day
Best For: Those who enjoy Murakami novels, memoirs, self-improvement or writing (he isn't writing specifically for other runners)
When we talk about Haruki Murakami, we often talk about the same things: he is the world's best-known Japanese author, and his novels The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle and Norwegian Wood have sold millions of copies outside of Japan. Much has been said about Murakami's surreal stories, which center on isolated protagonists forced to go on journeys, but his reluctance to give interviews or hold public appearances make him an enigmatic character to many. What we don't often talk about is that, aside from being a bestselling writer, Murakami is also an accomplished runner who participates in marathons all over the globe. As a runner and a writer, Murakami personifies the power of perseverance and hard, long-term work. His memoir What I Talk About When I Talk About Running kicks off our Rikumo Book Club series; in it we'll be sharing some of our favorite novels, memoirs and art books, many of which you'll find in our concept store library.
Murakami began running at 33 years old, neither young nor old but at "the age when Fitzgerald started to go downhill." That year marked a personal turning point, as well as the start of his literary career. Throughout the book he draws upon running and writing interchangeably, so that it becomes a story about both of his passions.
In many ways, the two activities demand similar capacities: stamina, concentration and even tolerance for pain. To Murakami, artistic activity inherently contains elements that are unhealthy and antisocial; it takes a lot of time alone to hash out ideas and express them in just the right way. While this is healthy for our brains because it pushes us to think more deeply, it can also cause us to withdraw excessively or spend too much time chained to our desks. That's why he concludes: "In order to deal with something unhealthy, a person must be as healthy as possible."
Here are some insights we spotted along the way:
- Being active every day makes it easy to hear that inner voice that tells you to eat healthier and take care of your body.
- A thirty minute nap (after lunch if possible) is the best medicine you can give to your brain.
- No matter how much you might command your body to perform, don't count on it to immediately obey. The body is an extremely practical system. You have to let it experience intermittent pain over time, and then the body will get the point. Doing it gradually is important, so that you don't burn out.
- Listen carefully to your body. It will give you feedback on when to keep pushing and when to stop and try again tomorrow. Apply this concept to your whole life.
- Our muscles are like animals. They must be properly trained every day, a little at a time, to be shaped into what you want them to be. Your spirit is like this also--it is only with constant practice, willpower, and time that we build the strength to reach our full potential.
Murakami peppers the book with personal accounts of the races that have shaped his personality and work ethic. One of these is a winter race in Chiba Prefecture that he considers his worst marathon performance. Approximately 18 miles in, his legs began to unexpectedly cramp up. Even though he'd assumed he had plenty of stamina, he was forced to cut back to a light trot and soon slowed to a limping walk. That day he clocked in his slowest-ever time after seriously considering giving up on finishing the race altogether. According to Murakami, there were three simple reasons he failed: not enough training, not enough training and not enough training. "Without knowing it," he writes, "I'd developed a sort of arrogant attitude, convinced that just a fair-to-middling amount of training was enough for me to do a good job. It's pretty thin, the wall separating healthy confidence and unhealthy pride."
His experience demonstrates a common experience: we get so confident in our own abilities that we let our goals slip away from us, whether by procrastination or unrealistic expectations of reward without effort. The challenge is to see these hiccups not as limitations but as benchmarks to surpass in the future. More training would have undoubtedly helped Murakami do better on that race, but listening to his body's needs eventually built his stamina. Likewise, though some of us aren't runners, we can all learn to patiently build ourselves up little by little. Keeping the finish line in sight helps us work towards whatever we want to achieve, be it running a marathon, finishing a 1,000-page novel or filing our taxes.
For me, running is both exercise and a metaphor. Running day after day, piling up the races, bit by bit I raise the bar, and by clearing each level I elevate myself. At least that's why I've put in the effort day after day: to raise my own level. I'm no great runner, by any means. I'm at an ordinary—or perhaps more like mediocre—level. But that's not the point. The point is whether or not I improved over yesterday. In long-distance running the only opponent you have to beat is yourself, the way you used to be. (pg. 9)
Starting in April, you can read What I Talk About When I Talk About Running inside our concept store library. And if you'd like to discuss it with someone, ask for Magali or Yumi; both are big Murakami fans.
