Boomerang Alliance published Queensland Container Refund Scheme in Cash For Containers 2017-03-07 23:47:08 +1100
QUEENSLAND'S CONTAINER REFUND SCHEME Launched 1st November 2018. FOR INFORMATION ON HOW TO GET INVOLVED, PLEASE CONTACT COEX (Container Exchange) on 13 42 42 or visit https://www.containersforchange.com.au/.
On September 5th 2017, we welcomed the unanimous passage of the Waste Reduction and Recycling Amendment Bill through the Queensland Parliament, which confirmed a Container Refund Scheme (CRS) for Queensland.
This policy represents the most significant litter and plastic pollution measures introduced into Queensland in generations. It's a great leap forward for litter reduction, recycling and collection (and the jobs that go with this) and for community organisations who can make money from collecting bottles and cans.
Under the Container Refund Scheme, eligible beverage containers are worth 10c each. This presents a significant opportunity for community groups to raise additional funds through the collection and return of containers
The Queensland Scheme is called 'Containers for Change' and is operated by Container Exchange, a not-for-profit entity set up by the beverage industry.
You can learn more about how the scheme works, find where you can redeem containers and which containers are eligible, and how you can get involved at the Containers for Change website.

Ask the Victorian Government to implement a world class container deposit scheme
Victoria has now committed to a Container Deposit Scheme (CDS) to start by 2023. It needs to be the best scheme maximising recycling; with great convenience for consumers who want to redeem their 10cents; and a credible governance system.
The Boomerang Alliance has joined forces with Victorian community organisations and groups to push for action. The Victorian government originally was defending inaction on CDS with questionable statistics on litter and recycling rates. We took actions to dispel myths, raise awareness and presented the true cost of inaction.
Newsflash: It's going really well! NSWs 'Earn and Return' collected 2 billion containers in 19 months and increased recycling rates from 35% to over 65% (June 2019). QLDs 'Containers For Change' has collected over 620 million containers in 8 months. Hundreds of jobs have been created and hundreds of charities are benefiting.
NOW we need to win the battle for a CDS that works best for consumers and recycling.

A container deposit scheme is based on a refundable deposit able to be redeemed by the consumer or collectors at convenient locations. In other words, people get cash for recycling their containers. There are over 40 such systems around the world including in South Australia, the Northern Territory, the ACT, NSW and Queensland. WA, Tasmania and Vic are planning to follow suit in 2020, 2022 and 2023, respectively. Enregistrer

Dear Ms D'Ambrosio,
Thank you for supporting the introduction of a 10 cents refundable deposit on drink bottles and cans in VICTORIA.
Victoria is now the LAST state to commit to a container deposit scheme but can learn the lessons from other Australian states - and have the best CDS. Cash for Containers has led to a significant increase in recycling rates in all states in which it's been implemented. NSW reports an increase from 35% to over 65% (June 2018, EPA NSW). The scheme is also going well in NT, the ACT and QLD. And of course, SA has had it for decades.
I support a modern, efficient, convenient and low-cost container deposit system. The social and economic benefits include more jobs in resource recovery and a new source of income for charities. CDS can also help with the recycling crisis, as it produces reliable streams of sorted, uncontaminated materials that are of higher value and can underpin a local recycling industry.
How effective it is, will depend on the design of the scheme, in particular:
- convenient collection points for consumers to get their 10cent refund, maximising return rates and recycling
- with billions of drinks sold in Victoria each year, a lot of money is involved and it's essential there is no real or perceived conflict of interest in the management group that runs the scheme and refunds.
- good opportunities for charities to be involved.
Please keep me in touch with your work on scheme design.
Yours sincerely,

Did you know that 52% of the world's sea turtles have ingested plastic or other human rubbish? Last year, the Australian Senate Inquiry into marine plastic pollution warned of a 'looming health crisis' from eating seafood and ingesting the bioaccumulation of plastic and adhered toxic chemicals. This has to stop!
At the end of June, the environment ministers will be coming together for their regular meeting. We want their main focus to be a ban on lightweight single use plastic bags throughout Australia. In order for this to happen, we need to urgently mobilise and support our 50 allied plastic bag-free groups.

Boomerang Alliance published Nurdles 2016-07-01 20:09:04 +1000
By Dave West
Nurdles are pre-production microplastic pellets that are used to make plastic products (they are melted into the moulds for the particular product). Nurdles typically enter the environment by escaping the boundaries of the plastic extruder or recycler factories and are washed into waterways via the nearest stormwater drain, or are lost during transport. This is an offence in every state in Australia, however it has not come to the attention of regulators and may be currently seen as difficult to enforce. However we do not accept this position.
In Australia we use some 1.5-1.7million tonnes of pellets and flake (the equivalent material when sourced from recycling) each year.
Over several years, Tangaroa Blue carried out a number of studies concerning the prevalence of nurdles along our beaches and coasts. It undertook sampling across 41 broad geographical locations including river systems in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Perth and Adelaide and found concentrations as high as 6,000 nurdles per square metre of beach. Boomerang Alliance's sampling across hundreds of locations are showing that, on average, there are some 60,000 pieces of microplastic found along each kilometre of coastline – without question nurdles are the most common microplastic we find.
Many reasons exist to explain the abundance of pellets in the environment, including unsound practices within factories in regard to cleaning spill-over, but more important is perhaps the lack of mitigation methods that are designed to prevent such incursion to the environment from the factory floor. Factories hose their buildings and workshop floors down at night, resulting in pellets washing into drains — a documented practice at several major factories in our cities.
Filtration systems on stormwater drains are unable to capture nurdles, so once they are in gutters or drainage areas, they are easily washed into stormwater outlets, resulting in entry to the river systems. Further, when transporting the resin pellets, hopper cars and trucks are not required to have lids on containers of pellets.
Closely resembling fish eggs, nurdles are commonly ingested by sea life. There is growing concern that sea life ingesting microbeads creates significant potential for microbeads to pass them through the food chain and onto our dinner plates.
In water environments like the ocean, nurdles and other microplastics have been found to attract other oily chemicals floating about. This was first measured in 2001 by Japanese researchers who found that the plastic production pellets collected from coastal Japanese waters had accumulated toxins at concentrations up to a million times that found in the surrounding seawater.
Boomerang Alliance ally, Tangaroa Blue is the leading voice on working with the plastics industry to develop suitable mechanisms and procedures to ensure they stop polluting our waterways with nurdles. Tangaroa operate the Australian arm of the global Operation Clean Sweep Campaign.
It is already an offence in all Australian states for manufacturing facilities to be allowed to escape their control yet, to date, we have found no instance where our environmental regulators have issued a fine of penalty. Simple inspection and enforcement including mandating pollution reduction plans can do much to eliminate this threat.
Boomerang Alliance published Microbeads 2016-07-01 20:08:24 +1000
They're tiny plastic microspheres measuring approximately the same size as a single human hair. So how does a pollutant barely visible to the naked eye present the greatest direct threat to the eco-welfare of oceans and marine wildlife?
Microbeads at 50 times zoom
Added to an enormous range of personal care [body wash, toothpaste, face scrub] and household cleaning products [detergents, waxes, and polishes], microbeads are used as the go-to artificial exfoliant, a durable substitute for previously used natural abrasive materials like sea salt, ground pumice and oatmeal.
Plus they're also used in health science research, microscopy techniques, fluid visualization and fluid flow analysis, and process troubleshooting.
Generally made from polyethylene (but can be also be made of polypropylene (PP), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) and nylon), microbeads are commercially available in particle sizes from 10 µm to 1000 µm (1mm) in diameter. To give perspective on how small these microbeads are - a human hair is around 18 µm in diameter.
Making them virtually impossible to prevent washing down the plughole, through filtration systems in waste water treatment plants and facilities and passing freely into our waterways, coastline and oceans.
Like all plastics, micro and nano scale plastics have significant potential to act as a toxic sponge – sucking up organic pollutants and heavy metals to become a major vector for distributing toxic materials across the environment and importantly into our food chain. Which is why micro and nanoplastics are seen to be a more direct threat than plastics generally as they are easily mistaken for fish eggs, zooplankton and other sources of marine food, creating significant potential to pass through the food chain and onto our dinner plates.
Which is why microscopic plastic poses not only a catastrophic threat to ocean health - but to ours as well.
While virtually impossible to measure accurately the extent of the problem in Australian waters, a single tube of deep facial cleanser can contain 350,000 microbeads, demonstrating that the level of microbead pollution is substantial. Based on international estimates it is likely around 650 tonnes of microbeads enter Australia's marine ecosystems annually.
Based on their pervasiveness and size, microbeads are near impossible to remove from the natural environment, especially water.
As a result of high profile campaigns across the globe, nations including the US, UK, Canada, France, Ireland, Italy, Holland, Sweden, Taiwan and New Zealand have or plan to introduce various legislation prohibiting the manufacture and distribution of microbeads. Australia is yet to implement any such federal or state measure leaving us vulnerable to potentially becoming a dumping ground for surplus products.
In December 2015, former Federal Environment Minister Greg Hunt announced that state and territory governments had agreed to a voluntary phase-out of microbeads in cosmetics by July 1, 2018. In January 2016, Coles and Woolworth's both announced they would stop using microbeads in their own products from 2017, while global companies including Unilever, Beiersdorf, Johnson & Johnson and The Body Shop have already commenced the phase-out.
To date, 93 per cent of companies distributing and manufacturing in Australia have complied with the phase out. Leaving the remaining 7 per cent failing to move on the environmental issue and continue to pump microbeads into the biosphere.
A federal ban is the only way to safeguard Australian waters
While useful results have been achieved by the industry voluntary-microbeads plan, it leaves a loophole for continued use of plastic microbead product on the Australian market by those who have failed to participate in the voluntary phase out or through a future reversal of thephase out by manufacturers; including the prospect of dumping by producers locked out of other markets by legislated bans. Australia must have a nationally legislated ban on plastic microbeads including so-calledbiodegradeable plastic microbeads.

Dear Premier Baird,
Your announcement that the NSW government would introduce a Container Deposit System (CDS) in NSW in July 2017, is most welcome. For too long we have had the problem of littered drink containers in our streets, parks and ocean; as well as wasted resources.
I am concerned however to hear that the beverage industry is trying to replace a CDS with a plan that will only target a small amount of the bottles and cans that are currently not recycled.
It is critical that the NSW Container Deposit System is comprehensive and nothing short of a genuine world best practise system. This would mean that the vast majority of the drink containers are recycled. It would also create many significant opportunities for charities, schools and local sporting groups to earn much needed income. It's a far better system than that being proposed by the beverage industry.
Our environment and community deserve this.
Please tell me you will give NSW an effective Container Deposit System.
Yours sincerely,

Dear Mr Miles,
Now that the state government has agreed to investigate container deposits for cans and bottles and look at restricting plastic bags, I am writing to let you know that I support the introduction of a 10c refundable deposit on bottles and cans to clean up litter and increase recycling in Queensland. The sooner the better!
Queensland is the most littered mainland state in Australia and bottles and cans are a huge part of the problem.
NSW Premier Baird is implementing this scheme because it works. Supported by 86% of Queenslanders (Newspoll Feb 2015), it has successfully operated in South Australia for nearly 40 years; and has made huge increases in the recycling rate in the Northern Territory in its first three years.
It will greatly increase recycling of bottles and cans in Queensland and make a big dent in the litter polluting our beautiful coastline, bush trails, waterways, streets and public places, and harming wildlife.
I support a modern, efficient, convenient and low-cost container deposit system. I want Queensland to be part of a harmonised east coast Container Deposit System. The social and economic benefits include more jobs in resource recovery and a new source of income for charities.
Please ask Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk to act.

AVENGERS: ENDGAME Reaches $799m Domestically
Updated May 27 at 10:00 a.m. Eastern: As of the close of business on Sunday, Avengers: Endgame has taken in $799m at the North American box office, according to Deadline. That figure firmly establishes it domestically as the second-biggest all-time behind Star Wars: Force Awakens' $936.66m.
For comparison, Endgame has been out in theaters 31 days so far while Force Awakens was was in North American theaters 168 days.
Updated May 10 at 2:01 p.m. Eastern: After taking in $7.5 million in North American theaters on Thursday, Avengers: Endgame has now surpassed Titanic on the all-time domestic box office charts, according to Variety.
With a new domestic total of $660.4m, Endgame is domestically fifth all-time, behind Avengers: Infinity War ($678.81m), Black Panther ($700.05m), Avatar ($760.5m), and Star Wars: Force Awakens ($936.66m).
Updated May 9 at 2:52 p.m. Eastern: Avengers: Endgame took in $8.3 million domestically on Wednesday, according to Forbes. That brings the film's North American total up to $652.9m.
That $652.9m domestic figure catapults it ahead of 2015's Jurassic World ($652.27m) and into #5 on the all-time domestic charts, unadjusted for inflation. For those keeping track, the pack is now Titanic ($659.36m), Avengers: Infinity War ($678.81m), Black Panther ($700.05m), Avatar ($760.5m), and Star Wars: Force Awakenss ($936.66m).
Updated May 7 at 11:15 a.m. Eastern: Avengers: Endgame made "around $11 million" at the domestic box office Monday, according to Forbes, a relatively steep 70% first-Monday-to-second-Monday decline. Its estimated new domestic 11-day total of $632m is a record and vaults it past 2012's The Avengers ($623m) for #7 on the all-time unadjusted for inflation chart.
However, its 'legs' off its record opening are beginning to suggest while Endgame will almost certainly reach #2 on the all-time domestic chart (topping Avatar's $761m) and has a shot to climb as high as $900m, Star Wars: The Force Awkens' record $937m will likely survive the assembled Avengers' attack on it.
Updated May 5 at 11:15 a.m. Eastern: Avengers: Endgame made an estimated $145.8m at the domestic box office this weekend according to Boxoffice.com, a 59.1% decline from its reccord opening weekend, falling a few million short of Star Wars: The Force Awakens $149.2m record second weekend.
It is now up to an estimated $619.7m through its first 10 days, still nearly $80m ahead of The Force Awakens previous 10-day record of $540.1m. That's good for 9th place on the all-time domestic charts. It will almost certainly eventually wind up no lower than #2.
With a new overseas total of $1.569 billion for a combined worldwide total of $2.188b, it already sits on the all-time global chart at #2, according to boxoffficemojo, with just Avatar in front of it.
May 3 at 11:47 a.m. Eastern: Avengers: Endgame ended its first week in domestic release with an estimated $474 million after an estimated $22m Thursday, according to Forbes.
That leapfrogs it past Avengers: Age of Ultron ($459m, #16) and Star Wars (yes, the Star Wars, $461m, #15) on the all-time unadjusted-for-inflation domestic chart, according to BoxOfficeMojo.
Endgame will almost certainly leap into the $600-millions with an over/under $160m second weekend and the all-time Top 10.
The film's trajectory makes it almost certain to finish no less than second place on the all-time unadjusted domestic charts, currently occupied by 2009's Avatar at $761m.
Whether it can catch Star Wars: The Force Awakens's domestic $937m is uncertain due to that film's ususual weekday success during the late-December 2015 holidays, with many box office analysts bearish on the possibility.
Updated May 1 at 10:42 a.m Eastern: Avengers: Endgame snapped up $33.11 million domestically at Tuesday's box office.
Unadjusted for inflation, $33.11m would be the third-best Tuesday behind 2015's Star Wars: The Force Awakens ($37.3m) and 2012's Amazing Spider-Man ($35m on July 3, which was its opening day).
With these Tuesday numbers, Endgame has an estimated $427.099m domestic take to date.
Updated April 30 at 9:28 a.m. Eastern: North American movie-goers came out Monday to give Avengers: Endgame an estimated additional $37.6 million, according to Deadline.
While Endgame had the record-setting best opening weekend box office ever, this estimated Monday domestic take was third behind Black Panther ($40.15m on President's Day) and Star Wars: The Force Awakens ($40.1m). Endgame's estimated first Monday domestic was well ahead of its predesessor, Infinity War, however, which took in $24.7m.
This brings the fourth Avengers film in with a $394.7m domestic take to date.
Updated April 29 at 3:45 p.m. Eastern: Avengers: Endgame's 'actual' domestic box office figure for the weekend edged a little higher than Disney's $350m Sunday estimate.
$357.11m is now the official figure, bumping up all its various records a few million here and there.
Assuming its $866m overseas figure still holds, that gives Endgame a record $1.223 billion global launch.
Updated April 28 at 11:45 a.m. Eastern: Avengers: Endgame has shattered the record for Saturday grosses at the domestic box office, becoming the first film to ever total over $100m.
An estimated $109 on Saturday busts Avengers: Infinity War's previous record of $82m.
Current projections call for Endgame to total a record $350m for the weekend, breaking Infinity War's one-year old record of $258m.
If the estimates hold, Endgame's $84m Sunday would also be a record for that day. Infinity War's $69m is the previous record. We'll see how the Battle of Winterfell affects that number.
Saturday and the weekend's totals could evolve, however, given the volatility of these unprecedented totals.
Globally, an estimate of around $1.2 billion also shatters the previous record.
Disney has issued a press release detailing Endgame's box office accomplishments. It follows in its entirety here:
Records Fall as Anthony and Joe Russo-Directed Blockbuster Posts Estimated $350 Million Domestic and $859 Million International Debuts
International Gross Includes Record Estimated $330.5 Million Opening in China
BURBANK, Calif. – April 28, 2019 – Marvel Studios' "Avengers: Endgame" made history this weekend with a record-shattering estimated global debut of $1,209.0 million, becoming the first film in history to surpass $1 billion in its opening weekend. It reached the billion-dollar threshold in just five days, more than twice as fast as its predecessor "Avengers: Infinity War," which held the record at 11 days. The film also set domestic and international records.
"Kevin Feige and the Marvel Studios team have continued to challenge notions of what is possible at the movie theatre both in terms of storytelling and at the box office," said Alan Horn, Chairman, The Walt Disney Studios. "Though 'Endgame' is far from an end for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, these first 22 films constitute a sprawling achievement, and this weekend's monumental success is a testament to the world they've envisioned, the talent involved, and their collective passion, matched by the irrepressible enthusiasm of fans around the world."
"From the very beginning with 'Iron Man,' all we've wanted to do was tell stories that brought these characters to life onscreen the way we've experienced them as fans of the comics," said Kevin Feige, President, Marvel Studios. "That we've had so many other successes in this journey leading to this unbelievable result with 'Avengers: Endgame' has been almost entirely due to the fans around the world who have supported us through it all. Our directors, Anthony and Joe Russo, and our writers, Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, really brought this story home, and I am also incredibly thankful for our cast and filmmakers from across the MCU and all who've worked so hard to make these films the best they can be, including the amazing teams at Marvel Studios and Disney. And of course, without Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, none of this would have been possible."
Said directors Anthony and Joe Russo, "We poured our heart and soul into 'Avengers: Endgame,' hoping to tell a story that would inspire audiences around the world. Our family of cast and crew felt honored to be entrusted with bringing the Infinity Saga to a close. To Kevin Feige, everyone at Disney and Marvel, and the incredible, global community of fans – thank you."
Seven years after releasing the first film to ever break the $200 million mark in its debut with 2012's "The Avengers," Marvel Studios and The Walt Disney Studios have posted the first-ever $300 million domestic debut in history with "Avengers: Endgame." The film kicked off with a record $60 million in Thursday previews contributing to a record first-day gross of $156.7 million. A record estimated Saturday of $109 million and a record estimated Sunday of $84.3 million bring the estimated debut to $350 million across three days from an all-time industry high 4,662 theatres.
The estimated international debut of $859 million, including a record estimated debut of $330.5 million in China, is also the highest of all time and even surpasses the previous global debut record of $640 million set by "Avengers: Infinity War" last year (which did not include a day-and-date debut in China).
Key stats for "Avengers: Endgame":
· #1 domestic ($350M), international ($859M), and global ($1,209.0M) debuts
· #1 domestic Thursday previews ($60M)
· #1 domestic single-day gross and #1 domestic Friday gross ($156.7M)
· #1 domestic Saturday ($109M) and Sunday ($84.3M) grosses; Saturday is first $100M+ day without previews
· #1 China opening day ($107.8M) and opening weekend ($330.5M) and already ranking as the #4 non-local film ever released there
· Fastest film to $1B globally (5 days)
· 8th Marvel Studios film to cross $1B; 2nd to cross $1B this year (with "Captain Marvel")
· Biggest industry opening weekend across all regions and in 44 markets, including Australia, China, Korea, Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, France (admissions, non-local), Italy (non-local), Spain, UK/Ireland
· Biggest industry single-day grosses in 29 markets, including Australia, China, Korea, Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Spain, UK/Ireland
· Biggest IMAX global debut ($91.5M)
· 96% Certified Fresh RottenTomatoes score
· A+ CinemaScore (U.S.)
Marvel Studios now holds the top two global openings of all time ("Avengers: Endgame" and "Avengers: Infinity War"), as well as six of the top 10 domestic debuts and two of the top three international. "Avengers: Endgame" is the 22nd film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, an unprecedented collection of interconnected films, all of which have opened #1 domestically. Globally, the films have grossed a collective $19.9 billion to date, with the four Avengers films – "The Avengers," "Avengers: Age of Ultron," "Avengers: Infinity War," and "Avengers: Endgame" – accounting for nearly $6.2 billion. Four of the MCU films currently rank among the top 10 global releases of all time: "Avengers: Infinity War" (#4, $2.05 billion), "The Avengers" (#6, $1.52 billion), "Avengers: Age of Ultron" (#8, $1.4 billion), and "Black Panther" (#9, $1.3 billion). All 22 have been highly rated by critics and audiences, with Fresh RottenTomatoes aggregate scores across the board, including nine over 90%, and 21 out of 22 earning CinemaScores in the A-range.
Updated April 27 at 11:14 a.m. Eastern: Multiple sources are reporting Disney is estimating Avengers: Endgame earned $156.7m at the domestic box office Friday (which includes the record $60m from Thursday previews), shattering Star Wars: The Force Awakens previous record of $119.1m.
Weekend estimates now range between $330m to $375m, which will of course shatter Avengers: Infinity War's record $257.68m opening weekend.
At this stage, the only records seemingly in doubt - and Endgame would potentially finish second to - will be Star Wars: The Force Awakens final lifetime domestic figure ($936.7m) and Avatar's record final lifetime overseas ($2.03b) and global totals ($2.79b).
The film has already broken opening weekend overseas and global all-time records with Saturday and Sunday still to go.
The film also received a rare A+ Cinemascore, the third MCU film along with Avengers and Black Panther to receive the highest possible grade.
Congratulations to @Avengers: Endgame on your A+ #CinemaScore grade! Audiences LOVED it! ???????? pic.twitter.com/ce8KUXjBkq— CinemaScore (@CinemaScore) April 27, 2019
Updated April 26 at 3:41 p.m. Eastern: The Walt Disney Company is projecting that Avengers: Endgame will take in $140m+ domestically on Friday (an all-time single day record), following through to a record $300m opening weekend in North America, which Disney "cautiously" predicts, according to Box Office Mojo.
This would be well above Infinity War's $106.3m opening Friday and current record holder Star Wars: The Force Awakens $119.1m. Those two films went on for domestic opening weekends of $257.68m and $247.96m, respectively.
It's important to note this is reportedly Disney's own estimate. Studios are typically conservative when they give out public estimates, so as to not set high expectations that go unmet, potentially framing a positive result as a disappointment.
Original Story, April 26 at 10:26 a.m. Eastern: Marvel Studios' Avengers: Endgame opened in North America Thursday evening with a record-setting $60 million take, according to Box Office.
That eclipses their fellow Disney film Star Wars: The Force Awakens, which in 2015 earned $57m from domestic Thursday previews - however, adjusted for inflation, that 2015-era $57m roughly translates to $61.26m in 2019 dollars (according to the U.S. Department of Labor's CPI Inflatation Calculator).
Endgame will reportedly be shown this weekend in a record 4,662 screens domestically - including 3,900 3D locations, 410 IMAX screens, 785 Premium Large Format screens, and 250 immersive seating locations as it tries to unseat The Force Awakens's record Friday and single biggest day ever ($119m, which includes the Thursday preview total) and Avengers: Infinity War's record opening weekend ($258m).

New Stamp by Khaled Jarrar released!
Open Call to Participate in the new Art Project by Khaled Jarrar
In summer 2014, the Istanbul based team of InEnArt started reviving an art project by Khaled Jarrar. It was a post stamps design of the non-existing State of Palestine, one of Jarrar´s contributions to the 7th Berlin Biennale in 2012 that caught the organizers attention. After months of using various channels to spread the message, 50 sets of stamps were dispatched to 12 countries in the world and all continents.
As the first round was such a great success and actually led to fruitful discussions in terms of why and how art can influence real politics, the artist in collaboration with InEnArt decided to set up a second round of spreading the stamps all over the world.
To make the designs more unique itself, Khaled Jarrar designed new post stamps for the second round. It shows the beautiful flower Anemone Shaqiqat Al Nu'man (anemones ), known scientifically as Anemone Coronaria.
"That thou canst not stir a flower Without troubling of a star"
This filigree red wildflower is very much associated with Arabic literature. The legend says that Anemones grew on the tomb of Al-Nu'man Bin Munthir who was a famous king of Al Hira, in Iraq. During the battle of Thi Qar against the Persians, Al Nu'man was run over by elephants because he refused to submit Arab women to the Persian king as captives. Since then, those flowers were attributed to Al Nu'man to resemble his bravery and courageousness. Shaqiqat Al Nu'man are well known in Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Palestine and Iraq and may be called Shaqiqat Al Nu'man, Dahnoun or Hannoon.
So take the opportunity, order a sheet of 20 postage stamps by Khaled Jarrar for 25.- Euro; participate into this art work while spreading his gesture that embodies the wish to create an open, independent country guaranteeing freedom to everyone to carry one's life in one's hand…
Order a sheet of stamps by Khaled Jarrar and set a statement:
Sorry… All sheets are sold out… we are very pleased about the with the great interest into the project of Khaled
If you're around Geneva, don't miss the opening of Khaled Jarrar´s solo in May 28th at the Gallery Art Bätschi in Geneva.

Constantine declared his own will equivalent to a canon of the Church. According to Justinian, the Roman people had formally transferred to the emperors the entire plenitude of its authority, and, therefore, the emperor's pleasure, expressed by edict or by letter, had force of law. Even in the fervent age of its conversion the empire employed its refined civilization, the accumulated wisdom of ancient sages, the reasonableness and subtlety of Roman law, and the entire inheritance of the Jewish, the pagan, and the Christian world, to make the Church serve as a gilded crutch of absolutism.
In aesthetic theory it might be extremely difficult, if not quite impracticable, to draw a line between the canon of classicism, or regard for the archaic, and the canon of beauty.thorstein veblen
The idea of sovereignty current in the English speaking world of the 1760's was scarcely more than a century old. It had first emerged during the English Civil War, in the early 1640's, and had been established as a canon of Whig political thought in the Revolution of 1688.bernard bailyn
"Let us build such a church, that those who come after us shall take us for madmen," said the old canon of Seville, when the great cathedral was planned. Perhaps through every mind passes some such thought, when it first entertains the design of a great and seemingly impossible action, the end of which it dimly foresees. This divine madness enters more or less into all our noblest undertakings.Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
I cannot accept your canon that we are to judge Pope and King unlike other men, with a favorable presumption that they did not wrong. If there is any presumption it is the other way against holders of power , increasing as the power increases.
The fact that the usages, actions, and views of the well-to-do leisure class acquire the character of a prescriptive canon of conduct for the rest of society, gives added weight and reach to the conservative influence of that class. It makes it incumbent upon all reputable people to follow their lead.thorstein veblen
The canon of the [sharia] and the Church, closely linked with the laws of the bourgeosie, treated women as a commodity, a thing to be bought and sold by the male... Just as the bourgeosie had made the worker into its proletarian, so had the savage ancient canons of the [shariah], the Church, feudalism and the bourgeosie, reduced woman to the proletariat of the man.
Art is not the application of a canon of beauty but what the instinct and the brain can conceive beyond any canon.When we love a womanwe don't start measuring her limbs.
Women's studies needed a syllabus and so invented a canon overnight. It puffed up clunky, mundane contemporary women authors into Oz-like, skywriting dirigibles. Our best women students are being force-fed an appalling diet of cant, drivel and malarkey.camille paglia
Budddhist scripture, w:UdanaUdana 68-69: Parable of the Blind Men and the Elephant, a version of this well-known Indian tale from the Buddhist canon , but some assert it is of Jain origin. The Buddha [answered to his disciples],"Once upon a time there was a certain King|raja who called to his servant and said, 'Come, good fellow, go and gather together in one place all the men of Savatthi who were born blind... and show them an elephant. Very good, sire,' replied the servant, and he did as he was told.

MICHAEL MARTZ, Appellant,v.HILLS MATERIALS d/b/a HILLS PRODUCTS GROUP, INC. and WESTERN NATIONAL MUTUAL INS. CO., Appellees
Considered on Briefs October 6, 2014
Page 414
APPEAL FROM THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE FOURTH JUDICIAL CIRCUIT LAWRENCE COUNTY, SOUTH DAKOTA. THE HONORABLE RANDALL L. MACY, Judge.
MICHAEL J. SIMPSON of Julius & Simpson, LLP, Rapid City, South Dakota, Attorneys for appellant.
ERIC C. BLOMFELT of Eric C. Blomfelt & Associates, PC, Denver, Colorado, Attorneys for appellees.
ZINTER, Justice. GILBERTSON, Chief Justice, and KONENKAMP, SEVERSON, and WILBUR, Justices, concur.

ZINTER, Justice
[¶1] In 2000, Michael Martz injured his shoulder while working at Homestake Mining Company and was paid workers' compensation benefits. In 2002, Martz injured the same shoulder while working for a subsequent employer, McLaughlin Sawmill (Hills Materials). Hills Materials began paying but later denied further benefits. We address two questions. First, whether Hills Materials was equitably estopped from denying liability after four years of paying benefits. Second, whether Hills Materials remained liable for benefits when its physicians opined that the prior Homestake injury was a " major contributing cause" of Martz's current condition, but Martz's physician opined that the subsequent Hills Materials injury " contributed independently" to his current condition.
Facts and Procedural History
[¶2] Michael Martz was employed by Homestake, which was self-insured for workers' compensation. In February 2000, Martz suffered a work-related injury to his left shoulder. The claim was accepted as compensable by the administrator of Homestake's workers' compensation program. Martz had rotator cuff surgery in November 2000. His shoulder related medical bills and impairment rating were paid by Homestake.
[¶3] Martz left Homestake and began working in construction performing odd jobs for the next two years. He then began working for Hills Materials, which was insured by Western National Insurance (Western). In November 2002, during the course of his employment with Hills Materials, Martz felt a " pop" in his left shoulder while moving a log. He incurred pain following this incident, and Dr. Wayne Anderson became Martz's treating physician. Dr. Anderson also gave Martz an impairment rating in 2003. Western accepted the 2002 injury as compensable and began paying benefits.
[¶4] Martz was authorized to return to work approximately six to eight weeks after the 2002 injury. However, his employment at Hills Materials terminated. For the next four years, Martz's employment involved maintenance work for Historic Bullock Properties in Deadwood.
Page 416
[¶5] In July 2005, while Martz was employed for Historic Bullock Properties, Hills Materials engaged Dr. Jeffrey Luther to perform an independent medical evaluation (IME) of Martz's then-existing condition. Dr. Luther opined that the prior injury at Homestake was a " major contributing cause" of Martz's then-existing pain and need for treatment. Based on that opinion, Hills Materials denied further benefits on August 9, 2005.
[¶6] Homestake then requested a causation opinion from Dr. Anderson. On October 25, 2005, Dr. Anderson responded by referring to his 2003 impairment rating. Dr. Anderson noted that in 2003, he had assigned a 10% impairment as a result of the 2000 injury at Homestake and a 5% impairment as a result of the 2002 injury at Hills Materials. Without further explanation, Dr. Anderson opined that Martz's 2002 injury at Hills Materials " contributed independently to [Martz's] left shoulder condition and [then-existing] need for treatment." Because this opinion suggested that the 2002 injury at Hills Materials played causative role in Martz's then-existing condition, on November 8, 2005, Homestake also denied liability for further benefits. Martz continued to see Dr. Anderson for complaints of pain, and Martz continued taking pain medication.
[¶7] In February 2006, Hills Materials, through Western, asked Dr. Anderson to clarify his opinion regarding the 15% impairment rating. Dr. Anderson was asked whether the 10% component included impairment for any range of motion limitations. He was also asked if Martz's range of motion measurements changed before and after the 2002 injury. Dr. Anderson did not answer the latter question. He did, however, explain that the surgery following the 2000 injury qualified Martz for the 10% ...

This is something completely different. Not strictly Templar, but what we feel is an alluring design.
This 1″ pin sports a Maltese Cross, styled using 3D, Celtic Knots – on what appears to be a round shield. The black border contains 9 rivets, 1 for each of the York Rite degrees. Like everything else we design, it will get attention, as people ask what it is you are wearing.
The edge is our popular Diamond Cut, and really sets it off.
If you aren't a dyed-in-the-wool purist, we think you will really enjoy this.

To help you find the best deals on an iPad, we have collated a list of the best deals available on various models of the iPad through different retailers for Black Friday below.
9.7″ iPad Pro
The best deal on the 9.7-inch iPad Pro is being offered by Target. The retailer has reduced the price of the base model of the 9.7-inch iPad Pro to $449, down from $599.99.

➤ Deal
iPad Air 2
The iPad Air 2 might be a two years old at this point, but it is still one of the best tablets available in the market right now especially if you don't need the extra grunt that the 9.7-inch iPad Pro offers. This means that you will be able to snag the Air 2 at a pretty sweet price this Black Friday. Target is offering the iPad Air 2 from $274, down from $125.99.

The Target deal can be availed in-store, though Best Buy has made the offer available through its online store as well.

You can also find some deals on the iPad Mini 2 at Target and Walmart, but since the tablet is now more than 3 years old, I will not recommend buying them since they are likely to reach their end of life next year.

Come autumn every year, comes the season of love. One where Lucknow is burgeoning with weddings taking place all over the city. It has been now for years, one of the places with the most number of wedding being organized in the last few years. With weddings, come the responsibility of organizing the events such as the engagement, wedding and the reception. Every couple nowadays is on the lookout for something different, something extravagant, something which is the talk of the town for a long time. Hence its safe to say that there's no shortage of wedding planners and event management services in this hustling city of Lucknow. Along with planning the whole event, a lot of clients also require highly professional photographers and videographers, who can stick from the beginning to the very end to capture these valuable moments, and for sharing them for years to come. This has hence led to a high concentration of beginner and amateur photographers in the business and it become really difficult to pick professionals who can execute the job exceptionally and capture moments in a way that can be cherished forever.
We at Absolute Wedding Studio recognize this growing need of clients, which makes us strive harder to do our job as an event planner service, wedding planning and photography related services to keep us at the top of the game. With a wide array of services under our belt, we at Absolute Wedding Studio provide assistance with almost every step of a wedding process, to deliver a seamless, beautifully executed wedding without any hiccup. Our team of professional photographers and videographers are extremely talented at their jobs and always work for a better shot, a better take to make sure turn every moment as precious as one that can be looked back at for years.
There also has been the rise of a new trend, a new demand for pre-wedding shoots which a lot of our clients desire to get done before the wedding ceremony. Again, becoming a saturation right after being introduced into the market, our professionals at Absolute Wedding Studios have creative genes flowing to come up with the most beautiful, abstract and awe-inspring ideas and themes for the pre-wedding shoots. A concern for many is how to stand out when almost every other couple is indulging in these pre-wedding shoots. We realize this need and strive to fulfil the craziest of the client's ideas.
The one idea that changes the focus entirely and makes the shoot even more memorable is the involvement of friends of the bride and the groom. Inviting friends not only make the shoot more fun but it also is an opportunity for a lot of real candid laughter moments, courtesy of cracking inappropriate, private jokes, revisiting the old memories and making the shoot lively in a way technology cannot.
A vintage themed shoot is also a stunning idea with the elaborate set of dresses, accessories, huge hats, gramophones, Victorian balconies, and yesteryear memorabilia in general. It is also very hard to go wrong with and certainly adds a unique flair and charm to the shoot.
Another rather unconventional, but clever way is conducting the shoot in the war confines of your home, the one place where the couple usually has spent a lot of their time. This does open a lot of possibilities for candid, subtly intimate and romantic shots which might not be possible to be captured outdoors.
Instead of going to the same forts, the same palaces where most couples get their shoots done, one can choose some interesting, off beat locations such as a vineyard, a beer factory or abandoned old railway stations, which quite frankly, make this a whole lot easier to bring out the best of everyone.
Also, ditching all other cliched themes and having to try too hard to create memories, the shoot can be based in places that are closer to the couple's hearts, be it a beach, be it a hillock with a view of the sky and the city or any other place where the two would have spent significant time with each other and the shoot will only add to the radiance of the couple.
Wedding is the most auspicious occasion for a person and every one wants to make their wedding most memorable day of their life so that their new journey with love of their life began on a happy note .
Wedding in India means a great event with lots of pomp and show. As it shows how colorfull our culture has been over the years it is always a feel good vibe when you get married as you are the centre of attraction for every one.

Pre wedding shoot, the term that is raging like a wildfire theses days in context of marriage ceremonies taking place all over the country. How did this trend rise so high that it has become a staple, a necessity of a couple's marriage ceremony and the whole wedding process ? Also often referred to as an engagement shoot, a pre wedding shoot is one that usually takes place in a time frame of three to six months prior to the wedding day. An engagement shoot can actually be beneficial to the couples in a few different ways. Firstly, it gets the bride, the groom and the families build a good rapport with their wedding photographers and videographers, which is evident in the case of hiring the same professionals to document the main wedding day.
The couple can get acquainted with the photographer's shooting style, and feel more comfortable in general, so the whole process becomes easy as a breeze.
Another important aspect, which can be very beneficial for the photographer is that he/she can also get the time know more about the bride and groom as a couple, the characters, how affectionate the bride and the groom are with each other, how formal or casual their styles are. This will help the photographer create a suitable aura and setting, that will appeal to the both of them during their pre-wedding shoot and eventually, on their wedding day. Pre wedding moments are so hyped, mostly because they have the potential to capture the romantic times for the couple. It also is very common to see the couples happily rediscover the initial chemistry in their relationships and relive those sparks during the pre wedding shoot. The shoot, hence, is a great way to create everlasting memories for the couple and their families as well. These important aspects and factors need to be considered while finding someone to capture the wedding, the pre wedding shoot and the whole ceremony in general, the capability of the photographers to create these unforgettable memories with ease, and to bring out the best of the bride and the groom. It is indeed a slightly tough job to hunt for such professionals but in the end, the process does have its own rewards.
There are so many factors that can influence the creation of candid engagement pictures for the wedding photographers in Lucknow. The foremost factor would be the ability of the pictures to narrate, to capture the couples' story, how realistically their emotions can be captured by the lens of the professionals. The pictures are supposed to hold the spirit of the story, the story of who they are, how they began, or how their essence can be potrayed as a couple. The photographer's job hence, is not only limited to press the shutter, but to get in the depth of their bond, their relation, how both of them can bring out the best of each others, and then the job for the photographer is given way to, to capture these golden moments into a set of few pictures.For example, if the bride and the groom both like hiking, then it would be the obvious first choice for the photographer to understand where he/she will be able to feel the vibes the most, where the couple can be more lively, and it also would be a pro to have a mountainous backdrop or the natural scenery dominating the shoot. Above all, it is about aggrevating the emotions, the bond that is supposed to bring overall vibrance to the pictures.
In such cases, the photographers should be willing to go the extra mile, take that extra effort to get to know these essentials, these little things that might be a contributing factor for the couple's wonderful bond, to capture the essence of the bride and the groom as humans, toward each other. It also is about creating a zone which can comfortably house all three of them, to ensure the shoot is anything but uncomfortable or unnatural.
The pre wedding photographers also have the responsibility to create a chain, a track of the ceremonies leading to the wonderful day where the couple tie their knot, the ceremonies which are supposed to bring both the families closer, along with the bride and groom.
The pre wedding photography professionals have to ensures that all these intimate, glorious ceremonies are captured as candidly as possible in photographic memories, along with being etched in the minds of everyone involved We make sure that the bride and groom along with all the family members are clicked in their best poses.
The pre wedding photographers also have the responsibility to add substance and poise to the shoot, to create an aura with the simplest of efforts and minimalistic instructions and more of candid moments during the ceremonies.With the vision of nurturing the couple's relationship through the pre wedding shoot, and creating a stunning story like album that can be looked back and revisited by the couple and loved ones should be evident in the the photographer's mind at the time of capturing this story with their lens and a tactful approach. They should be able to immortalize this special day in the form of photographic memories and create the magic using just their lens. After all, this event of two souls becoming one is not that easy to capture and the photographers should have the knack to be able to do so. The photographers have to act as the couple's close companion to potray their story through these candid wedding photo shoots, and by reverberating the joy of all these wedding moments.

I just bought several love, relationship, sex, and weight loss spells. I received an email yesterday afternoon saying she was going to cast for me. I believe she did because I had a weird night....
I was restless and so was my boyfriend, he woke me up in the middle of the night saying he had a bad dream and pulled me over and cuddled with me before falling back to sleep. I don't want to get ahead of myself at all and its only been 1 day but we have not been in good terms and he wants to leave me which is why I bought some of the spells that I did. Today he has been very attentive to me, texting me, calling me on almost every break he had has at work.
He usually texts his female friends all day long and ignores me for the most part but today he hasn't texted any of his female friends and like I mentioned, he has been very attentive to me. I don't know if this is a coincidence which I find it very hard to believe it is since last nice he was still thinking about leaving. I don't know what to think but will give it the time that Lillith says it might take which is 4 to 6 weeks.
Sorry for the very early review but if this is only the start then I'm very happy but will wait until more positive things happen in my relationship and weight loss.
Thank you!

No results or effects whatsoever. What a waste of money.
I agree with others who say she is very short in responses and practically non-communicative unless you ask something. Even then she didn't really answer my question.
Not recommended.

Kim Kardashian has defended her controversial covershoot for Turkish Cosmopolitan.
The April edition of the magazine caused uproar as the reality star's appearance clashes with Genocide Remembrance Day, an occasion which marks the 1915 killing of thousands of Armenian citizens by Turkish rebels. Kardashian is of Armenian descent through her late father Robert.
"I just found out today that I am on the cover of Cosmopolitan magazine in Turkey this month," she wrote on her blog on Monday. "Cosmopolitan... has a number of international editions all around the world that run in various territories, and when I did this shoot for the international covers I had no idea that Turkey was planning to run my story on their cover this month, considering Genocide Remembrance Day is this month."
However, she went on to insist that the unfortunate situation in no way compromises the pride she has in her background.
"My Armenian heritage means a lot to me and I've been brought up to be incredibly proud of my family's background and culture so as an Armenian-American woman it is a huge honour for me to be on the first ever Armenian Cosmopolitan cover," she wrote.
"I have an amazing relationship with Cosmopolitan magazine. World-over, Cosmo is known as a fun and inspiring magazine for women of all races, shapes, sizes, regardless of their political beliefs and I really hope that if I can bring awareness to the issue, then this is an accomplishment."
Kardashian previously admitted confusion as to why the media is so obsessed with her body.
Her mother Kris Jenner recently spoke out in support of her daughters, insisting that they work hard in their chosen fields.

2017 BMW 340i xDrive Sedan Review – Numbers mean every little thing, specifically when studying vehicles as well as BMW's new 340i xDrive is a confusing and also often nonsensical number-fest. Initially, the nomenclature is all numbers, but both BMW as well as Mercedes have actually spent so long tweaking their numbering schemes that nothing builds up like it made use of to. The 1984 BMW 318i in fact had a 1.8-liter engine, but now the 2016 BMW 328i has a 2.0-liter engine. The 1998 Mercedes-Benz C43 AMG? A 4.3-liter V8. Mercedes' 2016 C300? 2 litres. These producers deserted the definitions behind those numbers for market positioning, marking a 2.0-liter that executes like a 3.0-liter, for example.
So this year, BMW overhauled its 3-series schedule and also transformed the names again. The former 335i becomes BMW 340i, despite the fact that its engine displaces the very same 3.0 liters as well as is still turbocharged. Yet it generates an added 20hp (14.9 kW), currently as much as 320hp and 330ft-lb of torque (239kW and also 449Nm), while theoretically returning 22/33/26 mpg city/highway/combined. We saw 24.4 mpg over the course of our time with the cars and truck.

2017 BMW 340i xDrive Review
The 2017 BMW 3 Collection ought to be near the top of the checklist for consumers desiring a compact luxury sport car. Whether enjoying its blend of features and also refinement or putting its smooth optional engine to the test, you'll be impressed. It runs in a crowded course, yet the 3 Series is one of the most effective.
BMW virtually created the small luxury automobile decades earlier, and also today's 3 Series developments that heritage. It's the best-selling auto in its class, and also for good reason. Few can match its artful blend of performance as well as improvement, though that doesn't quit them from attempting. In either sedan or wagon style, the 3 Series makes couple of compromises. It's concurrently comfy and also flashy, compact without being confining, as well as its engines are fuel-efficient and powerful. It's a really fantastic all-rounder with no significant imperfections.
2017 BMW 340i xDrive Body Style
The 2017 BMW 340i Collection is available in car and also wagon body designs. (The 3 Collection Grandma Turismo hatchback is reviewed separately, as are coupe and also convertible designs collectively called the BMW 4 Collection.) Cars are available in 320i, 328d, 330i, 330e as well as 340i trim degrees with typical rear-wheel drive. Four-wheel drive (called xDrive) is optional on all but the 330e plug-in crossbreed. The wagon is readily available only in 330i xDrive and 328d xDrive trims. The 320i is the cheapest means right into a 3 Series, but it lacks several standard as well as optional animal conveniences. Best to begin at the 330i.
Ultimately, the 2017 BMW 340i car has a turbocharged 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine (320 hp as well as 330 lb-ft), the contents of the Premium bundle (see listed below), LED fronts lights, keyless entrance and ignition, a sunroof and a 16-speaker Harman Kardon stereo (optional on most various other models). The M Sport package (see listed below) is likewise basic, yet its contents can be replaced by those from the Sport or High-end packages.
There are several choice plans for the 2017 BMW 340i XDrive Collection. In our opinion, the primary ones to watch out for are Costs and Innovation as they better furnish the 3 Series with a host of desirable convenience and also tech-oriented bonus. Various other preferred choices consist of the Track Handling plan (enhances handling) as well as the two Chauffeur Help bundles that include several progressed vehicle driver security aids.
2017 BMW 340i xDrive Engine
Velocity is solid in the 3 Collection save for the 320i, which is expectedly sluggish offered its 180 horsepower. We've checked a lot of 3 Collection versions, and all have excited. In our tests, a 340i xDrive dashed from no to 60 mph in just 4.4 seconds. Expect the 330i to take around 5.5 secs.
Always-on turbo torque indicates terrific versatility in daily driving; there's no have to downshift if you want some zest. The transmission is expertly set, always moving with grace and accuracy. The engine car stop-start system remains off if you turn it off.
2017 BMW 340i xDrive Price
Beginning at $48,795, our test automobile easily topped $60,000 with a handful of choices. A glass sunroof and also a leather-wrapped steering wheel are consisted of with the base rate, however those that cannot live with the standard "SensaTec Leatherette" upholstery face an additional $1450 for actual cowhide, offered in 7 color mixes. Our car's $800 automated high-beams, $550 metal paint, $800 warmed guiding wheel as well as seats, and also two driver-assistance packages totaling $2650 as well as adding car parking cameras and blind-spot tracking can be skipped.
Navigation and also the convenient head-up display are had in a $2750 Technology package. Lover motorists, naturally, will examine the box for the $1700 Track Handling package, which includes BMW's variable sport steering, M Sport brakes, the sticky Michelins, and also three-position adjustable dampers. Our examination cars and truck was so equipped, and also we located the variable-ratio steering to decrease wheel-winding in parking maneuvers without inducing twitchiness on-center.
A $60,000 bottom line is a substantial investment, particularly taking into consideration that rivals have deteriorated the 3-series exclusivity. Still, any person including covert operatives shopping for an enjoyable mix of fun, capability, and year-round movement owes the 2017 BMW 340i xDrive Sedan an earnest look.
