"Be Subject for the Lord's sake to every human institution, whether it be to the Emperor as supreme, or to governors as sent by him ..." 1 Peter 2:13
It's been a while since I have written anything that pertains to either a current event, or something that our politicians have got up to, but that probably has something to do with there not being all that much of interest happening. That is since the Trumpet was 'unexpectedly' elected as the President of the United States, and has been stumbling from one blunder to another while cycling through staff faster that I cycle through my clothes. However, even though the machinations of the Trumpet make some groan with bemusement, others laugh with disbelief, or cringe with horror, it is more of what is going on here in Australia that has caught my attention of late. However, before I go on I probably should at least acknowledge the Bible verse that I opened with.
The thing is that the Bible commands Christians to respect their governments, elected or otherwise, as they have been appointed by God. While this is one verse that is regularly trotted out when a Christian friendly government is in power, it seems to be conveniently ignored when dealing with a government that is not seen as being particularly Christian (at least by certain segments of Christian society). Mind you, I probably should make it clear that I'm not a particularly big fan of the various institutions that have come about these days, especially since in many cases they seem to be little more than a joke. In fact, the only conservative Government currently in power in the Anglosphere that seems to actually have their heads screwed on properly are the English, and even then they had made some incredibly stupid decisions over the last couple of years (well, okay, there is also the Kiwis).
Yet, Christians are commanded to respect their governments, which I have to admit is a very hard thing to do when all we seem to have in power are a collection of clowns that really don't know the first thing about running a country. In fact here is a list of skills that you require to be elected to parliament:
No, that isn't a typo - there is actually no requirement whatsoever to be an elected representative. Okay, to be elected on the platform of one of the parties you probably do need something, but in the end, while you need to be a person of good character, and probably have some background experience, the ultimate skill you need to be pre-selected is the ability to network, (that is making) the right friends). In fact Bob Hawke and John Howard were right to bemoan the lack of experience that our career politicians have today - who have basically gone straight out of university politics into a politician's office without any experience in the real world.
I probably should mention that being of good character only applies to being elected on a platform for one of the political parties - in Australia at least it doesn't matter how long your criminal record is, as long as you aren't in gaol, you are eligible to be elected to parliament. Mind you, good luck keeping it hidden because you can be assured that your opponents will make it known as soon as they become aware that you have been a very naughty boy (or girl). Even then, the power of celebrity does have the ability to be able to over come these objections.
On the question of eligibility, this leads me to the topic that I was originally going to actually write this post about:
Citizen of Where ...
The Australian Constitution governs the eligibility of who can be elected to parliament, and while I could make mention on this being a legal matter and me not being a lawyer, that would be incorrect because even though I am technically not a lawyer (or a practicing one at least), I do have a law degree, and I did study Constitutional law. Mind you, Constitutional Law was probably one of the hardest subjects that I took, and it was compulsory. Also, it is one of those areas of law that tends to be pretty specific, and quite narrow - the only court that hears constitutional law cases is the High Court of Australia, which happens to be the highest court in the land.
I was going to jump straight into the legalese, but I then realised that many of you probably won't have any idea as to what I am talking about. Basically, Section 44 sets out, in a round-a-bout way, the things that prevent you from being a member of parliament (and the only crime that carte blanche makes you ineligible is treason). One of them is being the subject or citizen of a foreign power. Ironically, if you type 'section 44' into Google here in Australia you suddenly get a list of news stories relating to this constitutional farce.
So, a few weeks ago there was an announcement by one of the Greens Senators - Scott Ludlum, that it turns out that he is a citizen of New Zealand as well as being a citizen of Australia and as such was ineligible to sit in parliament, so he resigned. He was immediately followed by another Greens senator, Larissa Waters. Well, with two Greens Senators resigning nobody was really all that worried, particularly since when a senator resigns, the party to which that senator belonged simply picks the next candidate in line. However, things started going pair shaped when suddenly we had a member of cabinet, Matt Canavan, announcing that he is also a citizen of another country and as such also potentially ineligible (though, not surprisingly, the rules for the members of the government were somewhat different, or interpreted differently, than the rules for everybody else). Well, since he was a senator, that didn't pose a problem, but the next character did.
You see, the ruling conservative party in Australia (the Coalition of the Liberals and Nationals) holds onto power by a one seat majority. Suddenly, one of the lower house MPs reveals that he may be ineligible due to a possible connection with New Zealand. New Zealand pretty quickly confirmed he was actually a dual citizen (though why they kept quiet until then is beyond me). That would have been all well and good, except that this particular fellow, Barnaby Joyce, happens to be deputy prime minister. Anyway, a full list can be found here.
Needless to say that the farce continued with members of the government crying foul, and claiming that the opposition Labor party are actually traitors who were encouraging a foreign government to bring down the lawfully elected government of Australia. Well, that might just be true, but the whole thought of New Zealand being seen as a foreign power is just plain ludicrous, since there there are very few, if any, other countries in the world that have a closer relationship than does Australia with New Zealand. Yet, despite the fact that we could almost be considered a single nation, the reality is that we are two separate countries, and if what Julie Bishop said is true, then she is actually right.
Something Fishy
This isn't the first time that this problem has arisen, but it is rather surprising that it has come out of the wood work all at once. Okay, I suspect that there has been some rather sloppy housekeeping in relation to some of our elected officials, and the way that this government is going, shooting their mouths off, making knee jerk reactions, and generally being sloppy and untidy seems to be the norm these days. However it is interesting that it was actually the Greens that were the first to come to light.
Except that it isn't. I remember when I studied politics in year 12, my teacher told us that the two major parties basically hate independents and minor parties. The thing is that they believe that an ordered parliament is one that has a clear cut opposition and government. The problem with independents and minor parties is that they don't tend to vote the way that either party wants them to vote. The other thing is that in order to get legislation through they have to negotiate, and that involves work, and one thing politicians don't seem to like doing is working. So, they look for ways of trying to even the score.
I remember being told about a independent named Phil Cleary who was elected to parliament in 1992. However he was disqualified on the grounds that he was on unpaid leave from his job as a teacher at a government school, another aspect that makes you ineligible. The catch was that when the major parties referred him to the High Court, the judges decided to look at the candidates of the major parties as well, and it became clear that they were also ineligible due to them being dual citizens.
The Constitution
Anyway, before I continue I will reproduce it for you, if you can actually get your head around the rather archaic legalese:
Any person who:(i) is under any acknowledgment of allegiance, obedience, or adherence to a foreign power, or is a subject or a citizen or entitled to the rights or privileges of a subject or a citizen of a foreign power; or(ii) is attainted of treason, or has been convicted and is under sentence, or subject to be sentenced, for any offence punishable under the law of the Commonwealth or of a State by imprisonment for one year or longer; or(iii) is an undischarged bankrupt or insolvent; or(iv) holds any office of profit under the Crown, or any pension payable during the pleasure of the Crown out of any of the revenues of the Commonwealth; or(v) has any direct or indirect pecuniary interest in any agreement with the Public Service of the Commonwealth otherwise than as a member and in common with the other members of an incorporated company consisting of more than twenty-five persons;shall be incapable of being chosen or of sitting as a senator or a member of the House of Representatives.But subsection (iv) does not apply to the office of any of the Queen's Ministers of State for the Commonwealth, or of any of the Queen's Ministers for a State, or to the receipt of pay, half pay, or a pension, by any person as an officer or member of the Queen's navy or army, or to the receipt of pay as an officer or member of the naval or military forces of the Commonwealth by any person whose services are not wholly employed by the Commonwealth.
The particular part we are looking at is part (i), and it can be quite deceitful in a way. The problem with dual citizenship is that you may not actually realise that you have it. This was the case with Barnaby Joyce, who was born in Australia, and the only reason he was a citizen of New Zealand was because one of his parents was a citizen. Yet, the odd thing is that back when the Constitution was written, and for a time afterwards, he would have been eligible since New Zealand is not only a member of the Commonwealth, but part of the British Empire. Furthermore, Ludlam and Waters would have also been eligible (though Americans wouldn't've because American was not part of the empire).
This is why there has been calls for change, if not to the constitution, at least to the interpretation of it. Back when it was written, it was basically being subject to a foreign, non-British power, such as France or Germany. These days that is technically irrelevant. Okay, I would probably want the leaders of Australians to be, at least, citizens of Australia, and if they weren't born here, then of course I would like to see them renounce their former ties.
The thing is that by acknowledging that these mistakes are going to be made, particularly in the case of Nick Xenopohon, who is a 'British overseas subject', it makes a lot of sense since his position has no weighting whatsoever in Britain. He can't hold a British passport, and he definitely cannot work there - well, he can, but he needs to obtain permission. The problem with changing the constitution is that it is really, really hard to do, though when it comes to interpretation, all it needs is a couple of willing judges.
The Burka
Of course, these isn't the only act in this three ringed circus, particular since while all this was going on a woman wearing a full face cover burka walked into the senate chamber as sat in the chair normally reversed for Pauline Hanson. Well, actually, it turned out to be Pauline Hanson, who then proceeded to earn the ire of the rest of the chamber. Mind you, she's sort of that type of person because she tends to be ultra conservative. Back in 1996 she was elected to parliament and started sprouting out how the Asians were going to take over Australia. The major parties then basically ganged up on her and made sure that she lost the next election.
For the next so many years pretty every election you could expect to see (or hear of) her running, and sure enough the perseverance paid off. With the huge swings against the coalition in 2016, we suddenly discovered that not just her, but a number of her colleagues, were also elected. Mind you, things had changed in the ensuring twenty years, and all of the sudden we find the Coalition suggesting that maybe it is time to start working with her. Then again the Coalition is pretty much being controlled by the conservative rump, which is one of the reasons this parliament seems to be just one, whopping, great big farce.

Routine work. Finished within a timely manner
I recently brought my wife's car in to be serviced. Needed an Oil change. During the evaluation of the car it was noted that one of the tires were punctured and the foreign object was still in it. They could not repair it and they recommended replacing the tire and balancing them all. Took a little over 2h. I waited in the customer area that was quite comfortable.

I delete the survey and low and behold it comes back the next day. It won't go away. Now you have succeeded in my cringing every time I see "how great was your experience?" Are you happy now?

What started off as an unpleasant experience, turned into one of the nicest car buying experiences I've had. Mr. Thommy is an excellent general manager. He was very polite, and personable. Mr Kenny Smith also assisted me in my purchase, and I would have to say he is one of the best salesmen I've ever met. I would recommend these two guys to other car shoppers.
Feb 11, 2020
I would never buy another brand car because of the service.
David was so helpful and as a single, working women I do not have the luxury of someone taking me to drop off my car for service. Your dealership always gives me a loaner car and does a great job of taking care of my vehicle. Linda Schuster

Great experience-obnoxious nagging follow up survery
I had a great experience, but didn't have 25 words to fill this spot. Maybe, great 25 times. Now I do. I tried to by-pass this potion of the survey, got to the end but it would not submit with a comment in this section. Every day I try with no success. I delete the survey and low and behold it comes back the next day. It won't go away. Now you have succeeded in my cringing every time I see "how great was your experience?" Are you happy now?

Great service advisors and great service!!
The main reason I buy all of my vehicles from Ray Brandt is because of the service department. That is the most important part of my decision making. The advisors are all great but Ryan Weber is the one that I always request. I feel that he always goes over and above.

License plate/registration pick up
Upon entering the dealership I was immediately greeted by representatives. I was able to obtain my license plate/registration, along with a copy of my registration made by the front desk personnel. While preparing freshly brewed coffee and pastries another representative offered to install my license plate to my vehicle. OUTSTANDING!! This level of customer service far exceeded my expectations, and has re-assured my purchase with Ray Brandt INFINITI of Metairie. Thank you for being great!

Purchase of QX 50
I would like to express my pleasure in dealing with your dealership on the purchase of my new car. Bob Lambertson was the Sales Consultant handling my purchase. He was very professional, courteous, and very knowledgeable.
May 09, 2019
Excellent Service Specialist
I came in for a oil change. I left with 4 new tires, new front breaks, and a few light bulbs changed. As a business owner it's hard for me to find to have my vehicle serviced. They were prompt, provided options, and professional. I left with a peace of mind. I love the WiFi availability too. I was able to continue working while having my vehicle served. Love the fact that I was able to still work. Coffee and water provided complimentary was excellent. I'll be back.
May 09, 2019
I recently purchased a QX80 for my wife and i currently lease a Q50. The sales experience for the new vehicle was professional and easy. I will work with Ray Brandt INFINITI in the future.

Routine work. Finished within a timely manner
I recently brought my wife's car in to be serviced. Needed an Oil change. During the evaluation of the car it was noted that one of the tires were punctured and the foreign object was still in it. They could not repair it and they recommended replacing the tire and balancing them all. Took a little over 2h. I waited in the customer area that was quite comfortable.

Fifteen years ago having access to the internet was an expensive luxury - how times have changed.
An increasing number of cities in the US are beginning to recognise that access to information is a right of their citizens, and so are installing large scale Wi-Fi networks to cover the whole city access to the internet. This seems like a great idea and would revolutionise how people work and play, with access to the internet anywhere you had your Wi-Fi enabled laptop. Is there a downside? The answer is far from clear. The U.S. Federal Communications Commission acknowledges that prolonged exposure to high levels of this radiation can result in the heating of human tissue and an increase in body temperature. This, in a nutshell, is how microwaves cook food. So in a large scale Wi-Fi network everyone would be continually bombarded with a low level of electromagnetic field, much like the fields you get around your computer, or any other electrical appliance, but you would not be able to get away from it. The question is - will it be harmful? The answer is as yet unclear.

How can one describe their favorite series accurately, let alone the complete works of one of their favorite authors? Although reviews are generally subjective, saying that it's great, excellent or a masterpiece seems a little too subjective. If I were to use those terms there would be little point in writing an entire review at all. To put some perspective to this collection of work there are 9 books in all, 3 trilogies. All of which are set in a similar fantasy world which play off and subvert the archetypes of barbarian or noble savage-style heroes and their relationships with a pompous civilization who are generally forced to work together to fight a greater evil. The highlights of these stories are the relationships and respects between the characters from different cultures and how they bridge the gaps to fight a common enemy only to break apart when that threat is out of the way. And the way Joe Abercrombie sets up and knocks down these plots is beyond satisfying.
The 1st trilogy starts with The Blade Itself which introduces the five main characters of The First Law Trilogy, two of which are among my favorite characters in all of fantasy. My favorite, Logan Ninefingers, is an infamous Northman and the very definition of a Berserker. He meets a manipulative Magi, Bayas, and together they travel to The Union where they start a war, set off to find a magical weapon of mass destruction and help Jezal, a young man of mysterious birth, to fight in a fencing competition. My second favorite, Colonel Collum West, a self-made man with a hellish temper covering a heart of gold, is sent to this war where he gains the respect of the Northmen, old friends of Logan, and becomes a named man. This trilogy also introduces the characters which gain spotlight for the 2nd Sequel Trilogy where both Logan and Jezal's friends and enemies become main characters in even more compelling stories, The Heroes in particular being among my favorites of all of Abercrombie's books. The 3rd trilogy, The Shattered Sea, is mostly separate from other two and starts with Half a King, a story which I see as only a prelude to the books that introduce my 3rd favorite character, Thorn Basu, being the strongest female lead in a fantasy series I have ever read.
Although one could argue that there are better authors for plot or the dark fantasy genre, Joe Abercrombie does one thing better than any fantasy authors I've read in the past and that's characters. Each character is memorable in their own special ways, uniquely separate in both looks, motives and colorful dialogue. Making great usage of hyperbole, different point of views and perfectly setting up situations for these all to be smoothly shown, making them stand out in scenes that I remember clearly five years after my first read through. The majority of this satisfaction comes from one character completely underestimating, or being bluffed by another, these scenes allowing the characters to show what makes them great. Whether it is Logan kicking ass, or Inquisitor Glokta interrogating a prisoner or Shy South outsmarting a salesman or negotiating for someone's life, their successes are hinted within previous clues that come to the reader just before they are executed brilliantly. When they exceed expectations you remember why you find reading fantasy fun in the first place.
Okay, now that I'm all fanboyed-out I'll have to find some negatives about this saga. Honestly, it's hard to find anything wrong with most of his stories but, if I were pressed, I would have to say that Joe Abercrombie suffers from being able to write a far better journey than either a beginning or ending. It is because of this that I've found that the 2nd books of each trilogy tend to always be the superior. With this in mind, it will make sense that the further you get into the 1st books the better the story will become with the quality peaking at the end of the first and then coming to a close halfway through book 3. However, the exception to this was the end of the sequel trilogy, Red Country, which ended two character's stories far better than I could have hoped for. Another issue is that a character you come to love in a previous book of the trilogy might not get the same amount of attention in the next. For instance, I firmly believe that the Shattered Sea would have benefited from consisting of only book 2 and 3 and Thorn remaining as the main character throughout, but then, it's not often you get a well written female lead.
In the end, although Sanderson's Way of Kings and Words of Radiance are my favorite books, The First Law is my favorite series and this only goes to show how far great characters can take a series. I will remember these books better than any other and will look forward to Abercrombie's new books being released more than most other authors. Until then, I am eager to recommend others to read The Blade Itself and see how good of a writer Joe Abercrombie has become. As one of many of Logan Ninefinger's sayings goes; "It's better to do it, than to live with the fear of it."

Travel reviews by Mr J & family from Hants
My Jul 2015 trip
On this trip, I visited Botswana, Namibia & Zimbabwe between 27-Jul-2015 and 19-Aug-2015 and I travelled with 5 other people.
Expert Africa were amazing. They spend a lot of time with me shaping the trip and advising me of the accommodation options. I found their recommendations spot on and the accommodation they booked was superb with a very individual and varied feel. The majority of the accommodation had a very personalised feel.
Sabina is worthy of particular mention, as she really knew Namibia well and so was able to give accurate and re-assuring advice. She was always courteous and nothing was too much trouble. Expert Africa give superb attention to detail and provide lots of useful information before the trip, which ensures the trip goes smoothly. Any issues, which were limited during or after the trip were dealt with very quickly and efficiently.
I would recommend Expert Africa without reservation.
The website is also very helpful when researching your trip.

Why is Human Resource Outsourcing (HRO) and Professional Employer Organization (PEO) a $ 51 billion + industry? Why are there are over 700 HR Outsourcing / Peosta work in all 50 states? Why have 50,000+ small and mid-sized organizations bought into the concept?
Are the business owners that are in human resources outsourcing just not bright?
Are they wasting their money? All HR Outsourcing / Peosta have the task of selling to small and medium business market. They sell turnkey systems of human resources that includes all or part of:
- Wages + job costing +
- employee benefits +
- OSHA Regulation +
- + Ancillary Benefits Benefits
- Human Resources Administration +
- Regulatory Compliance
Peosta contractually assume substantial risk and with the establishment of a co-employer relationship with the workers. Simply stated Peosta reduce risk client company. HR Outsourcing sells its services à la carte. When you start looking at the reasons a PEO might be bad for the company, the list ends up being short. In most surveys, you will find three main reasons that people list as potential hazards.
1. The loss of loyalty from employees = all enter PEO arrangement seems to have this first concern – the answer is Peosta are co employer record for management only. You're still the boss. If you do not like them, you terminate the contract.
2. Loss of control of the main issues that could face my business = fear may exist, but fortunately, this objection is not real. The only control the question is one of the benefits. You control your costs and find someone else to do the paperwork, and you will spend more time with your employees because. A PEO relationship allows companies to achieve greater control.
3. Cost = there is confusion in this area. The reason for the confusion is very simple. Sustainable schools, business schools and most other schools do not train people in this area. Literally, it is left out of general-curriculum for business people. I went to Ernst & Young to get the answer. It has to do with the definition and understand the concept of "Payroll Burden." Payroll Burden is all those things you spend, or support staff who contributes to the overall cost. Business people do not know what they are spending now. A lot of things get left out or feel wrong. Business owners now use hard costs as Fica, Suta etc. speaking as well guesstimate on soft costs, or they use a hard cost plus SBA numbers (which is better). The fact is – a typical company does not really know the magic numbers. Therefore, when HR Outsourcing / PEO company says all the talk, there is no data to compare it to. This means that the cost may seem high, when it may be the same or even lower. The answer is a soft cost, most companies now have to help the business owner find exactly what they are spending, so they have that comparison. Historically, the payroll burden rate as part of payroll can swing 1 to 3 percent. It might be a good idea just to talk to industry consultant to speak. It sure would help with the organization, and it's usually free. Key point: Peosta take the variable costs of having employees and make it to the "fixed costs" – how does one measure the importance of the world today? When you look at the ability of PEO or HR Outsourcing company that delivers:
- Regulatory compliance,
- salaries
- 401 (k),
- Medical programs
- program administration,
- Dental
- Vision
- Human resource consulting
- Better cash flow,
- Predictability personnel costs,
- reduce risk,
And the list goes on … There is no larger purchase of the ground. Plus, customers get a focus on core competencies to drive more dollars to the bottom line. This equals more profit. Finally, it is also a fact that most companies can not afford the kind of jobs HR Outsourcing / PEO company has. The talent pool within the HR Outsourcing / Peosta is overwhelming. The benefits professionals, human resource professionals, lawyers, payroll professionals, tax and compliance specialists and security experts could make you drool in envy.

Two bibulous signallers arrived at about 10 p.m. in excellent form – executed several very dishabille Maud Allan dances and knocked the stove chimney and its contents of soot down over a very jumpy youth who was trying to sleep. Thereat he rose in wrath to stoush the offender who however was too game and swiftly sat in triumph (nude) on the stousher's head. This was followed by a lengthy bacchanalian variety show, interspersed with semi-legal descriptions of the proceedings they were going to institute against an offending tram conductor, and finally concluded with an amazing duet in Chinese (they had been acting as signallers in the Chinese boat en voyage and picked up some of their melodious lingo). I haven't laughed so much for months.
Month: July 2017
19th July (1917)
This evening attempted to sketch the Canal. A couple of rough-looking men strolled up and one of them suggested quite intelligent improvements I might have made by taking liberties with the landscape. His small son threw a handful of dirt at me from behind.
Sunday, 15th July (1917)
Rain commenced on St. Swithin's Day and it is the local superstition that if it rains on that day the rain will continue for 40 days and 40 nights.
Out grazing horses. I noticed innumerable baby frogs no bigger than a blow-fly in the wet grass – one was making frantic efforts to get out of the way of the horse's mouth and I could imagine what the great blubbing lips of the horse looked like to him – goggly. I can now appreciate Dad's experience when he was a boy of seeing them actually falling with the rain, probably taken up by some waterspout. His mates swallowed some of them out of bravado. Went to a sort of variety-show given by Manchester girls. Some of the songs would hardly have met with your approval, but men are made of sterner stuff. The song which took best this evening, and I must confess I rather liked it myself, was "Come and Cuddle Me", sung by a lanky jolly-faced girl with a very large mouth. I am writing with this villainous needle-pointed pen – in fact, la putrid plume. Here endeth the umpteenth Epistle to the Antipodeans.
Saturday, 9 p.m. (14 July 1917)
Am sitting with a pint of beer in a little wayside inn. After roamed about, did another sketch and found my way hitherward – inward – backward. The usual gathering of local characters, gossiping slowly in broad Lancashire, smoking and enjoying their pint-pots. Their local knowledge extends about one mile.
[Sketch by Lincoln Lee, titled 'Roadside Pond near Oldham Harts']
13th July (1917)
Went down canal again this evening and did another little sketch (makes me think of a popular song – "another little drink"). Went out with the wagon teams today and galumped round a rough paddock and back over the cobble stones; – like a mild and continuous electric shock. Men keep drifting in from the Hospitals, many being main-body men.
[Another sketch by Lincoln Lee, dated July 1917 and identified as being 'Near Oldham']
12th July (1917)
Watched a bargee and his missus manoeuvre a barge through the locks and met several of the boys out with their tarts and wished I had my tart to stroll about with. Having my usual 3d supper in Y.M.C.A whose name be praised! We had a lecture on gas today (by a sergeant who has been gassed) and put on the goblin helmets and things and breathed through the respirators – rather uncanny.
9th July (1917)
I have not yet seen the Northern Stars as it is light until after bed-time and on the occasions when I have been on guard it has either been bright moonlight or overcast. Yesterday evening having received note from a Mr. Green I went after tea and hunted him up at his home in a pleasanter part of town. We had a chic little supper – to wit – lobster salad, claret, corn-beef, gooseberry tart, cream cheese and biscuits, strawberries and cream, and a glass of port, which put me in the best of humour with myself – themselves – and things in general.
This afternoon we went for a route march of about 4 miles – a very hot and dusty march, part of the way along the banks of a canal. The lock-gates with the overflow rushing round out of a tunnel at the side are picturesque.
[Note – Lincoln Lee was an amateur water-colour artist. As a family we have retained a set of sketches he did in 1917 and 1918. Almost all are the size of large post-cards. On a number of them Lincoln indicated where they were painted or drawn, and attached some to the original version of the type-script reproduced here. Unfortunately, most were detached at a later date, so it is a matter of guess-work as to when each image was painted and where they may best accompany the text. Lincoln did not appear to have painted at the front itself, but there are some paintings of villages or country scenes in France which he must have done at times of leave or recreation. The below image is marked "Farm near Chadderton near Oldham". Potentially it was painted in the period after his return from leave and the current post].

Dignify is a psycho-social care programme that aims to improve the emotional well-being of elderly with dementia or depression, through a combination of Person-Centred Care and Animal-Assisted Learning.
Find out more at www.equal.org.sg
About the Charity
At EQUAL, we rescue animals, who go on to rescue us. We adopt unwanted animals and retrain them into therapy animals to develop emotional resilience in youth, people with special needs, elderly with dementia, and families in need.
We do this through activities that develop in them skills such as managing impulsivity, empathy, responsibility, respect, focus, and confidence.
This helps youth stay in school, people with special needs transition to jobs, elderly with dementia enhance their well-being, and families in need reconcile.
Two research studies by IMH show that our work leads to a 70% improvement in social-emotional skills and is associated with improvement in academic grades.
Our staff, who comprise former MOE teachers, social workers, counsellors and retired jockeys serve 2,000 beneficiaries each year from schools, nursing homes, children's homes and other social service organisations.
We are expanding our services by bringing therapy horses into unlikely places in urbanised Singapore, such as nursing homes, schools and HDB estates, as well as starting a cat therapy service.
We are a registered charity and Institute of Public Character (IPC). Donations above $50 are tax deductible at 250%.

With nearly 30 years of service with the City of Auburn, Patricia Cosgrove has been instrumental in helping the community arts grow, and at the end of October, she'll retire as the director of the White River Valley Museum and the historic Mary Olson Farm.
"I have been honored to serve the City of Auburn and work with a rich and vital group of board members, staff, and volunteers over the past 28 years," she said in a statement. "My work at the Museum and Farm has been transformative and difficult. It has been an expression of love and an exercise in hard work."
Cosgrove joined the museum in 1990 as the first staff member. White River Valley Museum had previously been operated by volunteers. During her 28 years, she grew the organization's annual operating budget of $620,000 with eight employees and dozens of volunteers, and curated about 60 exhibits. She helped facilitate relationships between organizations and raised $2 million in grants for the museum's renovation in the mid-1990s. And she had a vision for the Mary Olson Farm, which went on to win the Historic Seattle's Best Restoration Project award.
"From a patch of blackberries in a forgotten corner of Auburn, Patricia Cosgrove recognized the potential of a run-down family farm, envisioned the possibilities for what it could become, and helped birth the remarkable historic site and facility that is today the Mary Olson Farm," said former president Mike Weibel.
Upon retiring, Cosgrove plans to dive into some projects with her partner, including working on their small farm and training their border collie, Zip, to herd.

Please restore our lifeline, Australia. You removed a necessity
09 July 2018
BRISBANE - There are villagers in remote parts of Papua New Guinea and other parts of the Pacific who rely on radio as their only source of news, information and vital breaking news on matters that directly impact their livelihood.
I am half Papua New Guinean and have witnessed firsthand how the ABC has added value to the lives of my own people who live in remote parts of PNG.
Broadcasting services into the region are a necessity. Period.
News delivered to places that are isolated and disconnected from the rest of this technology-driven world is a necessity.
Literacy is a major issue in PNG. Sadly not all villagers can read and write or they have limited literacy skills. Radio is their only source of being informed. Literacy is critical for economic development; being informed is just as powerful and important.
Taking away this medium from those that relied on it was detrimental – it cut off a lifeline.
Not being able to read does not mean one has no opinion or right to information. Being illiterate or having limited literacy skills does not mean one is lacking intelligence.
Do not underestimate the people who listened to these programs. They still want this service. They need it and they deserve it. They deserve to be informed about what is happening in Australia and the Pacific neighbourhood.
They deserve to be connected to the rest of the world.
It is a necessity.
