Apply now Job no: 495049
Work type: Continuing / Full time
Location: Sydney, NSW
Categories: Head of School / Director
Head of School of Social Sciences
UNSW is currently implementing a ten year strategy to 2025 and our ambition for the next decade is nothing less than to establish UNSW as Australia's global university. We aspire to this in the belief that a great university, which is a global leader in discovery, innovation, impact, education and thought leadership, can make an enormous difference to the lives of people in Australia and around the world.
Following extensive consultation in 2015, we identified three strategic priority areas. Firstly, a drive for academic excellence in research and education. Universities are often classified as 'research intensive' or 'teaching intensive'. UNSW is proud to be an exemplar of both. We are among a limited group of universities worldwide capable of delivering research excellence alongside the highest quality education on a large scale. Secondly, a passion for social engagement, which improves lives through advancing equality, diversity, open debate and economic progress. Thirdly, a commitment to achieving global impact through sharing our capability in research and education in the highest quality partnerships with institutions in both developed and emerging societies. We regard the interplay of academic excellence, social engagement and global impact as the hallmarks of a great, forward-looking 21st century university.
To achieve this ambition we are attracting the very best academic and professional staff to play leadership roles in our organisation.
At UNSW Arts & Social Sciences we explore big ideas, create new knowledge, and tackle critical social issues. Our defining purpose, as a Faculty, is to promote education and research in the Humanities and Social Sciences. We are one of the most energetic and socially engaged faculties of our kind.
Positioned as one of Australia's top three research faculties in the Humanities and Social Sciences, we have an enviable research environment and culture, generating research with real social impact and genuine community engagement
UNSW Arts & Social Sciences includes breath and diversity of study options not found in any other single faculty amongst the Group of Eight. Our flagship Bachelor of Arts (BA) program, for example, offers over 35 areas of study and is the degree most often combined with other programs at UNSW.
Our Scholarship deepens understanding of humanity, of social institutions, and of diverse cultures. Our research enriches public debate and enhances policy formation, both within Australia and internationally.
The School of Social Sciences, in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, is an exceptional community of scholars who are at the forefront of a wide range of social science disciplines and professions. The School has two Clusters – the Governance & Global Change Cluster comprises Politics & International Relations and Development Studies, while the Social Inquiry Cluster includes Criminology, Social Research & Policy, Social Work and Sociology & Anthropology. The School's academics contribute expert opinion and scholarly knowledge to many policy fields and are involved in the delivery of unique programs with a strong emphasis on work-integrated learning and preparing students for employment.
The School of Social Sciences is currently seeking a new Head of School. The Head of School plays a key role in facilitating delivery of the UNSW 2025 Strategy's strategic priorities of academic excellence, social engagement and global impact. Marked by deep intellectual leadership, the successful candidate should bring academic credibility in an appropriate discipline, combined with breadth of academic vision, strategic thinking, and demonstrable experience leading and inspiring teams in an innovative, research-intensive environment. They will be able to support the development of academic staff at all levels (including early career academics), develop partnerships both within and external to the School, and drive diversity and inclusion within the School.

Some days just kinda suck. Perhaps you have a stressful meeting. Or the house is a total disaster and you aren't going to have the opportunity to straighten it up. Maybe you had to rush all day long, sometimes to the same place three times, in a vain attempt to get one simple errand taken care of. Or it could be that someone (presumably inadvertently) threw a wrench into that which you (mistakenly) thought you had a handle on. Or it could have been a sudden mental note coming to life reminding you that if you don't cook that chicken up tonight you had best throw it away or risk an ugly outbreak of salmonella raging through your house. And, if you are really lucky (or me) you can experience all of these and more in one day. Yep, some days just kinda suck.
Coming off a wonderful and relaxing weekend, it was even more brutal than normal to hear an alarm clock go off at 6 a.m. today. This morning wasn't just any Monday-morning-after-a-vacation-week…it was the morning that we were going to meet with the folks at the GeMS (Gender Management Services) Clinic at Children's Hospital. It is the first of what will be a long series of meetings which will spread over the next few years. Yes, years. Before she can even be considered for puberty blockers, Jessie has to be not just thinking about puberty, but in the throes of it. That, dear friends, seems to be far enough in the offing that there is not much of anything that we either can or should be doing any differently than we have been. "Just keep doing what you've been doing" is the mantra we have heard over and over from person after person. Frankly, it is getting irritating. Patience has never been my strong suit and when it comes to matters involving my child and his/her gender, I am not inclined to change course. Sucks for me.
Perhaps the most mind-blowing (and by mind-blowing I mean mind-fucking) thing I learned today was a statistic that literally made me nauseous. Despite the fact that I might have heard it before, it still struck me much like I would imagine it feels to have a sledgehammer land squarely on your head: Seventy-five percent of kids who identify as transgender prior to puberty wind up, gulp, changing their minds. Most of those then go on to live as gay men and/or women. Of course this means that a full twenty-five percent continue on the path that Jessie is so deeply entrenched in, but it still freaked me out. That said, I maintain my contention that a ten year old boy socially transitioning without hesitation has to mean that there was something calling to him (g.c.i.) loudly and powerfully. But what do I know?
I pose that question rhetorically, but I do actually have a few responses to it. For starters, I know that Jessie loves to get dressed in the morning and, once she settles on an outfit, departs for school with at least some pink somewhere and does so with joy and without hesitation. I know that many of the most unpleasant "symptoms" of her prior distress have disappeared completely. I know that she thinks of herself as a girl named Jessie and not a boy named George. And I know that, for now, anyway, she is very confident and content in her new persona. As far as what the future holds – yeah, well that I clearly don't know. But I take great comfort in the fact that nobody knows in part because I hate being the only one not in on the things.
But things aren't all bad. Harrison took a bunch of pictures of me and Jessie tonight, including this one:

Locomotives Close to K-12 Colleges
Certainly, I suppose it's understandable which absolutely no mother or father want their own child to visit the college the place where a teach monitor went together with the actual play ground. Actually, after i is at primary college, Used to do go to 1 college for some time which experienced the teach monitor operating across the aspect. We don't know in the event that any kind of kid actually obtained go beyond with a teach, however I actually do keep in mind the actual instructors as well as mother and father caution the children in order to avoid the actual teach monitor since it had been harmful. Which makes feeling correct?
Oddly enough sufficient, you will find roads as well as highways, occasionally really hectic boulevards which proceed correct through college areas. And also you tend to be more likely to obtain go beyond with a vehicle or even somebody texting whilst generating their own VEHICLE, than the usual teach that is really foreseeable heading down the actual monitor, as well as making lots of sound in order to notify a person that it's arriving.
Away within La there's a commuter train collection that is looking to get the best aside to assist proceed individuals faster with the town, however the mother and father tend to be worrying since the train collection goes directly behind the college, plus they do not would like their own children to become go beyond with a teach. Certainly, We don't believe any kind of mother or father desires the youngster to become go beyond with a teach.
All of us frequently study within the paper the actual heartbreaking occasion the place where a child had been go beyond with a vehicle, possibly on the bike, or even attempting to mix the road. 1 recommend with regard to bulk transit had been interviewed within the paper, the actual LOS ANGELES Occasions, saying when a young child had been strolling lower the actual monitor as well as did not obtain taken care of once they experienced the actual vibrations, noticed the actual teach arriving, or even the actual whistle coming, after that possibly these people should not be permitted to develop as well as recreate. The actual recommend had been referring to Darwinism as well as development.
Obviously, the actual instructors experienced another look at also it was not nearly security, it had been concerning the sound within the class, and also the continuous interferences. I will attest to this particular, simply because I will keep in mind the actual teach heading through and also the instructors needing to cease training for some mere seconds as well as await the actual teach to put into practice, after which carry on speaking. Exactly the same holds true with regard to colleges close to big international airports exactly where large aircraft plane remove as well as property. The actual sound is actually bothersome within the class, and also the vibrational power appears to shake every thing.
We want effective transport, and frequently within big metropolitan areas there's a lot visitors, a lot air pollution, and thus a lot sound, which open public transport may relieve high of which, and for that reason this might be much better with regard to training as well as understanding. Every thing within existence is really a trade-off. The non-urban college that butts facing the train monitor will be a completely different concern, however usually individuals locomotives do not arrive almost as frequently even though these people perform move through with regard to a longer time of your time.
Possibly we want much more investigation as well as research regarding the complete impact; training period used, and also the actuality associated with the amount of children hit through locomotives, instead of obtaining hit through vehicles upon freeways around colleges. Make sure you think about all of this as well as believe onto it.

Summarizing still amazes me. When you sit down and think about all of the skills that a reader must coordinate to summarize a text, it's amazing that readers can summarize at all. Readers have to understand the text, grasp the structure, distinguish important ideas from less important ones, and synthesize a new way to express the ideas in the text.
For all its fascination, summarizing can also be frustrating. Ten years of teaching summarizing have shown me that there is no quick fix, no one flashy lesson that fixes all of the problems. This is why I feel so strongly that instruction in summarizing needs to be woven into all reading teaching. Activities like choosing the best summary, finding important ideas, or locating "seductive details" that drag the reader away from the main point are all quick ways to build summarizing skills all year long.
With these activities behind us, I'm getting ready to dive into some deeper summarizing with students. As part of this, I've been thinking about assessing summarizing. One way to assess summarizing is to look at a student summary and count the number of important ideas that are included. (I wrote about this method in this blog post.) This is quick and especially good for younger writers.
But this method doesn't assess the other aspects of a good summary, such as paraphrasing and following the structure of the text. To try to get at these aspects, I created this 6-point rubric. The basic structure of the rubric follows the rubric in Summarizing, Paraphrasing, and Retelling. Instead of just 4 points, though, this rubric includes 6.
Summary Rubric
View more presentations from Emily Kissner
Important Ideas: A good summary should include the important ideas from the text. With this rubric, it's okay for a reader to include a few more details than strictly necessary.
Paraphrasing: I like to be able to distinguish between summaries that attempt to paraphrase, but do so inaccurately, and summaries that just copy from the text.
Structure of the Text: It's this component that led me to write the new rubric in the first place. On the one hand, a summary should reflect the structure of the text--within reason. I like to think of the television show "Lost" as an example of when a skillful summary might deviate from the structure of a text. If you were going to summarize that show--which I so do not recommend!--you would probably rearrange the ideas to make an easier chronology. In nonfiction text, sometimes authors play around with a structure for effect. Some rearrangement of ideas can help to make the summary more clear. In these cases, a highly skilled summary would not necessarily match the structure of the text.
Word Choice: I added "academic language" to the rubric, because it's something that I want to start helping students work toward.
I look forward to trying this out in the next few weeks...I'd love to hear your comments about it!
(Oh, and I also just posted a huge folder of summarizing resources to TeachersPayTeachers...30 files with different kinds of summarizing activities, paraphrasing lessons, and more!)

The Summer Reading Club is getting wonderful attendance from our patrons! We have had great programs, and all are being met with enthusiastic response.
Our Faustwork Mask program launched the SRC here at Steele and at West Elmira and Horseheads libraries. It was a one-man show, with lots of masks that tickled young and old funny bones.
Next we enjoyed a mini Epcot program, with representatives from countries around the world. There was food, dancing, and learning about world cultures. This program was so popular, we have been asked to repeat it next year!
We had a visit from Corning Community College's portable planetarium. It looked like a big silver balloon, and inside the children were introduced to the summer constellations. Outside the planetarium, the children made crafts, envisioned what it is like to be an astronaut, and even sampled astronaut ice cream!
The latest event was a visit from the Binghamton's Zoomobile, where the audience enjoyed visits from an owl and a ferret, among others. Audience members were invited to touch the ferret and the corn snake. Trivia questions were asked and prizes given.
Two more events are up and coming. Please check our schedule for dates and times. It is not too late to sign up for the Summer Reading Club, which keeps the kids in your life connected to their reading skills and is a very enjoyable way to spend some time!

Faustwork Mask Theater presents The Mask Messenger
Monday, June 27 – 2:00pm @ West Elmira Library
Wednesday, June 29 – 6:30pm @ Teal Park (hosted by the Horseheads Free Library)
Thursday, June 30 – 6:30pm @ Steele Memorial Library
The Mask Messenger is a series of vignettes ranging from comic to bizarre to poignant. Body language, psychological insight, and humor are the driving forces that captivate audiences ranging in size from 200 to 1200. The show, available in solo or duo performance variations, illuminates and expands the concept of the mask, exploring its relationship to human psychology, business, fashion, art, dance, and theatre.
The set consists of an impressive collection of masks, created by Mr. Faust and the company, exhibited center stage. After a brief and informative mock-lecture about the myriad uses of masks in cultures throughout the world, the performers begin to demonstrate the power of transformation by removing the masks from the wall, and assuming the emotional state expressed in each face. A variety of characters spring to life, including some who speak dialogue, wearing Commedia Dell'Arte style half-masks. Full masks are worn on top or back of the head, creating distortions that baffle the eye and tickle the funny bone.
The success of The Mask Messenger/s is due to the fact that it offers not only comic exuberance, but also new insights into the artistic, cultural, and historical aspects of the mask. The show has been performed over 2000 times at festivals, corporate events, universities, and in theatres throughout the United States and the world.

Thumbs Up for Garden Volunteers
Poplar HARCA's Communities and Neighbourhood (CaN) team has recently been successful in recruiting a volunteer whose role is to help strengthen links and inter-action between and among local community food growing gardens in Poplar which have been supported by CaN through the neighbourhood centres since 2014. Her name is Clyo Pareccini, an Italian lady who lives locally and has a passion for food growing and horticulture.
Clyo is currently busy facilitating volunteering days (booked throughout May-June-July) for corporate volunteers from Trees for Cities and Morgan Stanley, all of whom so far have enjoyed the sunny days helping local gardeners prepare their sites for this year's growing season.
We want to thank our colleagues from Estate Services Bulk Rubbish Team John Cairns, Chris Kimpton and Andrius Tautkus for collecting the big stuff that the composters could not accommodate. Much appreciated!

In April, Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed sent a letter to unincorporated south Fulton County business owners, urging them to consider annexation over creating a new city called South Fulton.
The letter, obtained by WXIA-TV, read in part, "As a commercial/industrial property-owner in the proposed area, you do not have the right to vote in the upcoming referendum unless you also reside in the proposed area.
"The City of Atlanta has maintained an open-door policy of welcoming property owners and residents who are interested in annexing into Atlanta city limits," the Reed letter continues. "We are extending an opportunity for you to discuss the option of annexing into the City of Atlanta should you oppose being incorporated into the new City of South Fulton."
Georgia Unfiltered has learned, through open records requests, that quite a few businesses in the Cascade Road area have taken Atlanta's Mayor up on his offer.
This $50 million annexation request by commercial property owners is the largest to date, since Governor Nathan Deal signed House Bill 514, the so-called South Fulton cityhood bill, into law. College Park recently received annexation petitions for 142.7 acres of commercial property valued at $32 million.
Under House Bill 514, property owners and registered voters have until 1 July 2016 to annex out of the proposed city of South Fulton before the borders are locked for the November referendum.

First, I would like to start by saying that I usually am not a soda drinker; however, I do enjoy drinking fresh, carbonated water with a touch of lemon or lime. Prior to receiving The Source by SodaStream as a gift, I used to buy flavored and non-flavored varieties of carbonated water on a weekly basis, which was very inconvenient and expensive, but now I can make my own carbonated beverages at home for just pennies a serving!
The Source by SodaStream is a specially designed appliance that makes delicious soda or sparkling water in the comfort of your own home using regular tap water. It can be used several times a day, is available in the colors white or black, and comes with a carbonating bottle that fits and locks into place in the front of the machine. The CO2 canister fits and snaps into place in the back of the machine and you can gauge the strength of how much carbonation you use by the LED display that is visible on the front of the machine.
What I really like about The Source by SodaStream is that it does not need to be plugged into any wall outlet, which means that it is easily portable, and can be used at home or be taken anywhere. Simply set it on a flat surface and make great tasting carbonated water without the hassle of cords or electrical outlets. All that's needed is some water!
I was also given as a gift many SodaStream flavorings, such as- Diet Ginger Ale, Diet Cola, Energy Drink, Cranberry Raspberry, Ginger Ale, Root Beer, Lemon Lime, Black Currant and Pear, Pink Grapefruit, and Sparkling Naturals, which are water flavor essences- Orange, Mint, Raspberry, and Lemon–Lime, which are my favorite flavors, because they contain no artificial ingredients and no added sweeteners.
It is so easy to make carbonated beverages in less than 30 seconds using The Source by SodaStream, simply place the CO2 canister into the back of the machine, fill carbonating bottle with water up to the designated "fill" line, place the carbonating bottle into the designated area on the front of the machine, it will lock into place, and push down on the top part of the machine to dispense the carbonation. There are three indicators on the front of the machine that light up individually to show how much the beverage is being carbonated and when the third light appears, the machine gives out a small screeching sound, which means it has achieved the highest level of carbonation. After the process has been completed, remove the bottle from the machine, and there will a sound that resembles the sound of a bus door opening. I think the sound is caused by air pressure, but I like to hear it.
The reason why the bottle has a designating line is so that if you want to add any Soda Stream flavoring (sold separately), it can be added without causing the carbonated water to overflow from the bottle. The carbonation bottle also comes with a cap, so the beverage can be placed in a refrigerator for future use.
Depending on how much I use the soda maker, I can expect to replace the CO2 canister after 3 to 4 months of regular use and each carbonator makes approximately 60 to 130 liters of soda or sparkling water.
Also, I can help reduce harmful CO2 emissions and help the environment every time I make sparkling water or soda at home instead of buying it from a store because it is a green product.
The Pros:
- Environmentally friendly.
- Saves time and money-I do not have to buy carbonated water from the store.
- No need for electricity, batteries, or to plug appliance into a wall outlet.
- Portable- Can be taken anywhere and used on the go.
- Long lasting
- It's fun and great to serve guests when you have company.
- Makes a loud screeching sound when the 3rd indicator light shines when carbonation has reached its limit.
If I could give The Source by SodaStream a rating between 1 and 5 stars, with 5 being the best, I would give it 5 stars, because it is easy to use, has a great design, is portable, and makes great tasting sodas and sparkling water that, in my opinion, tastes much better than store bought ones. I really like this machine, have used it many times, and each time, SodaStream gives me exactly what I have been looking for so long…great tasting and fresh carbonated water at my fingertips.
You can find The Source by SodaStream at many stores throughout the country, including at Target for $129.00.

47,000 U.S. Bridges in Poor Condition & Pace of Repair Slows to Crawl, New Analysis of Federal Data Shows
Report Comes as Congress & President Continue Debating Infrastructure
News Release from ARTBA, April 1, 2019
(WASHINGTON)—The length of America's structurally deficient bridges if placed end-to-end would span nearly 1,100 miles, the distance between Chicago and Houston, a new examination of federal government data shows. And it's a problem that hits close to home.
The American Road & Transportation Builders Association (ARTBA) analysis of the recently-released U.S. Department of Transportation 2018 National Bridge Inventory (NBI) database reveals 47,052 bridges are classified as structurally deficient and in poor condition.
Cars, trucks and school buses cross these compromised structures 178 million times every day, the data show. Nearly 1,775 are on the Interstate Highway System.
The most traveled structurally deficient bridges are on parts of Route 101, Interstate 405 and Interstate 5 in California, where daily crossings are as high as 289,000 per day.
Although the number of structurally deficient bridges is down slightly compared to 2017, the pace of improvement has slowed to the lowest point since ARTBA began compiling this report five years ago.
"Sadly, this report is no April Fool's joke. At the current pace, it would take more than 80 years to replace or repair the nation's structurally deficient bridges. That's longer than the average life expectancy of a person living in the U.S.," says Dr. Alison Premo Black, the ARTBA chief economist who conducted the analysis. "America's bridge network is outdated, underfunded and in urgent need of modernization. State and local government just haven't been given the necessary resources to get the job done."
The report comes in the backdrop of ongoing discussions between Congress and the Trump administration about how to address the nation's transportation infrastructure challenges.
"The best way to 'bridge' the infrastructure investment gap is for Congress and Trump administration to provide a permanent revenue solution for the federal Highway Trust Fund," ARTBA President Dave Bauer says.
The Highway Trust Fund (HTF) is the source, on average, of more than 50 percent of highway and bridge capital investments made annually by state transportation departments. The HTF is facing major financial difficulties. Absent congressional action, states could see a 40 percent cut in federal investment beginning in 2021.
"Since the 2016 election, leaders on both sides of the aisle have regularly cited upgrading America's infrastructure as an area for common ground," Bauer adds. "This report makes clear that it's about time Congress and the Trump administration stop talking and start solving this national problem."
Including structurally deficient bridges, there are nearly 235,000 bridges—or about 38 percent—in need of some sort of structural repair, rehabilitation or replacement, according to ARTBA's analysis of the NBI data. The association estimates the cost to make the identified repairs is nearly $171 billion.
Black notes the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) changed the definition of "structurally deficient" in January 2018 as part of a final rule on highway and bridge performance measures required by the 2012 MAP-21 federal surface transportation law.
Two measures FHWA previously used to classify bridges as structurally deficient are no longer used. This includes bridges where the overall structural evaluation was rated in poor or worse condition, or where the adequacy of waterway openings was insufficient. The new definition limits the classification to bridges where one of the key structural elements—the deck, superstructure, substructure or culverts—are rated in poor or worse condition.
States with the largest number of structurally deficient bridges are: Iowa (4,675 bridges); Pennsylvania (3,770); Oklahoma (2,540); Illinois (2,273); Missouri (2,116); North Carolina (1,871); California (1,812); New York (1,757); Louisiana (1,678); and Mississippi (1,603).
Those with the most structurally deficient bridges as a percent of their total bridge inventory are: Rhode Island (23 percent); West Virginia (19.8 percent); Iowa (19.3 percent); South Dakota (16.7 percent); Pennsylvania (16.5 percent); Maine (13.1 percent); Louisiana (13 percent), Puerto Rico (11.7 percent), Oklahoma (10.9 percent) and North Dakota (10.7 percent).
State—and congressional district—specific information from the analysis—including rankings and the locations of the 250 most heavily travelled structurally deficient bridges in the nation and top 25 most heavily traveled in each state—is available at www.artbabridgereport.org.
Established in 1902 and with more than 8,000 public and private sector members, the Washington, D.C.-based ARTBA advocates for strong investment in transportation infrastructure to meet the public and business community demand for safe and efficient travel.

Weekend Energies ~ Personal Truth and The End of Illusions
By Molly McCord, 05/21/2016
We've got a big energy weekend ahead!
Mercury stations direct after a brutal retrograde; an intense Full Moon in Sagittarius is volatile and action-oriented as it opposes Mars and sets off triggers around what we want to fight for; and we may finally feel like ideas, projects, and choices are ready to go forward after a long period of indecision.
It could feel like a dam bursting, so be conscious of which side of the damn dam you are on. 🙂
Know that people will be bursting in various ways – including ourselves – and that is not necessary a bad thing at all, especially with the (perceived) delays of May. The Sun is now in May, so we are definitely ready to go-go-go since Mercury is now leading the parade. Mercury is still in Taurus, and will retrace what was covered from the middle of April.
We'll finally have steady footing and more decisive ways to proceed ahead. Time has been on your side, so let go of what you thought would line up and play out.
Mars in Sag conjunct the Moon and opposing the Sun in Gemini will put emotional energy into what we fight for, and this combo can be quite righteous and argumentative. It's also a mutable energy, so what is fought for today might change position tomorrow as more information comes forward.
Keep in mind….Can I let this go? Is this not worth the fight or energy? Do I want to exert my energy in this way, or just let it pass?
It's not the best weekend to provoke or start something, so don't put up your dukes if you really don't have to. A heads up that Saturday or Sunday may bring up some matters that are ready to be addressed, and anger is not a negative thing. It's just how you work with it that matters.
This time is about the end of illusions. The end of hidden stories, hidden ideas, hidden ways, hidden truths. The word Truth has a lot of power, and yet it is astonishing how many are accustomed to covering up their truth in the name of "safety." Being safe is not about covering up the Truth of who you truly are at your core.
Feeling "safe" is about honoring all of you without questions, without doubts, without any distractions. For many, it is a new experience for the Soul to have this level of safety on the planet so there is caution and hesitation about stepping out in the full essence of You. But that is also why you are here – to experience yourself in this energetic paradigm and breathe in new levels of security.
As you walk in the world, there will be widening gaps between those who are walking in their personal Truth and those who are not. Many are losing jobs, homes, incomes, financial stability, relationships, and ways of living as a result of this widening gap. It is not meant to be a lesson in loss and despair, so much as it is a lesson in personal purpose and Soul growth.
The mind will choose to evaluate and the heart will choose to feel the experience – this is normal. But rise above the human faculties, and from a higher perspective, you will see that this energy has always been in your life – change, retraction, removal, upgrades. You do this with technology, cars, appliances, homes, clothes, and more. The illusion of what you want can no longer be hidden from you, nor anyone else. It is time for complete integrity and declaration of who you are and what you want. Nothing will stick to your energy that is not in alignment with this Truth.
If you approach every change with the mentality that it is ultimately happening for your best and highest good, you will connect to the next energy that is ready to greet you. When you break a phone, or your computer dies, you probably make the replacement a priority so you can continue on with your daily communications and tasks.
Apply the same energy to other changes, breakages, and unexpected developments, knowing that it is happening because the energetic match can no longer be sustained. And there is certainly a lot to move towards as more and more people are finally receiving the rewards they have been waiting years for. It is an exciting time to reap the goods of universal change.
If this message is connecting to you and raising your curiosity, then there is something here speaking to an innate wisdom inside of you. This innate wisdom is ready for a voice and outlet.
This is the part of you that has an eternal knowingness about your purpose in the world. Trust that knowingness. Allow new ideas to come up and marinate in your mind. Allow yourself to dream about the life you truly want, and then allow yourself the time to brainstorm those possibilities. As you do, the intention around personal Truth will grow and the next course of action will be clear.
Intentional change starts with a willingness to release illusions that are holding you "safe." The only true safety is in yourself, so walk in the world knowing that everything you need is already inside of you. It's time for a new level of awakening to truly begin. It's time for the illusions to disappear so your true purpose can show you the only way to be in the world. It's time for you to breathe in the Truth that this is a safe and loving Universe.
As you experience changes and breakthroughs, know that integrity, honesty and Truth are the highest vibrating energies to guide you forward.
Everything else will fall away. Gracefully. Effortlessly. Lovingly.
Sharing this free excerpt from Conscious Messages: Spiritual Wisdom and Inspirations for Awakening with the intention that it helps you at this time.
Each of these messages is channeled from my guides as a remembrance of your power, your confidence, your strength, and much more. When I receive messages, I simply allow them to flow through me and trust the words that come through. I rarely edit and never go back to change anything that I heard. When I go back to read these messages myself, I can feel the different vibration from my guides that reassure me it is not my own mind saying these words. I hope you can feel the different vibration, too! I'll be sharing more in the weeks ahead!.

- This article is about the Ultra Agents villain. For the car from Drome Racers (Video Game), see Tremor.
- "Bob and weave!"
- ―Tremor
Tremor, originally named Louis Lightweight, is a minifigure villian released in the Ultra Agents theme in 2014.
Tremor wears heavy silver armor covered in rivets. It has a hole for his face and multiple areas of textured detail to make the mask look more intimidating. He has a standard yellow face with a red visor and an angry expression. The other side shows Tremor in a scowl. Tremor's body and legs are dark grey with flat silver and red detailing. The feet are printed with flat silver boots. The torso's printing shows armour with more red and flat silver detailing, as do his legs. Tremor wears large flat silver fists over his hands, which have previously been used for the gorilla tribe in Legends of Chima.
Tremor used to be a junkyard worker, but he was sucked into one of AntiMatter's portals in Astoria, turning into the evil Tremor.
Later, he attacked Astoria with a 50 ton armored tank. After a wild chase, he entered the Astor City Museum, and somehow discovered the Ultra Agent's database containing the Ultra Chip. He managed to destroy the security, open the safe, and obtain the chip. However, the Ultra Agents destroyed his tank, and he was then captured. When they asked him how he knew about their safe, he said, "Tremor don't know. Tracks knows. Tracks dead. Poor Tracks." This means that his tank was either programmed by someone (most likely Terabyte or AntiMatter) or had a brain of its own.
After the breakout, Tremor, with his newly-repaired tank, was airlifted by Psyclone. Once out in open air, the villains began choosing civilians. When Psyclone asked how they could tell the difference. Tremor replied that he didn't know, and that maybe he could "shake one like a melon." After the battle with AntiMatter, Tremor could be seen captured alongside Adam Acid, Infearno, Psyclone, and Terabyte.
LEGO.com Description
|This is a description taken from LEGO.com. Do not modify it. (visit this item's product page)
A steel-clad and hard-hitting criminal driving the mighty Tremor Track. He is terrorizing Astor City and must be brought to justice!
Astor City district: Astoria
- He has the same fist pieces as the gorillas from Legends of Chima.
- He speaks in the third person, and with incomplete grammar. For example, "Tremor not hurt."
- "Tremor floats like a butterfly" is a reference to Muhammad Ali.
- A hidden poster in the app shows a silver-clad boxer, "local legend" Louis Lightweight, with the quote "Bob and weave", which Tremor says just previously. This strongly suggests that they are the same person. Fists are also heavily emphasized in his armour and tank, and Tremor shares Lightweight's silver color scheme. However in his LEGO.com bio it says that he was a junkyard worker.
- Tremor is most likely based on an earthquake combined with a boxing motif.
- He is similar to Karlof, as they both:
- Speak in third person
- Speak with an incomplete grammar
- Wear metal fists

Rotorua GP suspended for two months
By Katie Holland - ROTORUA DAILY POST
7:44 PM Thursday Jun 26, 2014
A Rotorua GP has been formally censured and suspended from practising for two months following a dishonesty conviction.
Dr Peter Jacob Arnold Adams pleaded guilty in the Rotorua District Court in February last year to attempting to obtain cash by deception and was convicted and ordered to pay $500 costs. In January 2012 he had made a false travel insurance claim for items allegedly lost or stolen on an overseas flight, including two rings valued at around $4500.
The New Zealand Health Practitioners Disciplinary Tribunal recently released its decision finding Dr Adams' conviction reflected adversely on his fitness to practise as a doctor.
It said health practitioners had a "wider professional obligation to act ethically, honestly and lawfully in accordance with the standards of professional conduct expected of the medical profession".
The tribunal ordered Dr Adams be censured and his registration suspended for two months, to take effect one month from the date of the judgment.
He was also ordered to pay $7720 costs.
Conditions were also imposed around Dr Adams' return to work. For a period of three years he must tell any employers of the outcome of the charge, may not have any financial interest or management role in a medical practice nor go into sole practice for a period of two years.
He must also regularly meet a clinician to "discuss work-life balance", the tribunal ordered.
The tribunal said there was no issue with Dr Adams' general competence as a doctor and character references it received had expressed the view the insurance fraud was out of character. The conviction did not impact patient safety, it said.
Dr Adams had been found bankrupt in December 2009 and was discharged from bankruptcy three years later.
The tribunal said the fact the offending was against an insurance company was an aggravating feature as insurers "rely upon the honesty and integrity of medical practitioners" and a false claim undermined that professional relationship.
The tribunal suppressed several details, including details of Dr Adams' personal and financial circumstances and the name of the medical centre where he worked. However it denied Dr Adams' application for name suppression.

Maybe ACC should offer him a job as an assessor.
Posted 03 July 2014 - 12:52 PM
you will find a lot of acc only employed assessors...actually do have something in the past, that leads them by the nose to keep writing false opinion in acc's favour...
do the research...the results will astound...

Just got back from London, England!! Great trip! It was a bit cool for the clothes we brought the first couple of days but we went sightseeing anyway!! We did a lot of walking, enjoyed pub food for our meals - fresh ingredients done with a little panache at a reasonable price for England, rode the TUBE and did some shopping!! Bought myself some Paper Artsy stamps at Blade Rubber which was within walking distance of the hotel!! Took a lot of pictures and had some R&R which we both needed.
We brought back tea for our friends so I made up these cool little presentation packets for them!! I have come to appreciate tea in a way that I never had before!!
I bought postcards to cut up for the front images of my little packets which I layered over white cardstock which I laser printed with LONDON. Added tabs with brads to hold the inside flaps and ribbons to tie it closed. The tabs are snipped on the center fold to allow the ribbon to come through. I just used a 1/4" punch to snip.
I punched the inside edge with a MS border punch and snipped the middle of the flap to help it all fold togeher nicely.
Have a busy week ahead of me so will have to hit the road running tomorrow morning but hopefully I will have more to post by the end of the week!!

It was the goal of After the Game: Work Hard, Live Well, Give Back to remind fans that not only do their favorite athletes work hard on the field, but they also continue that hard work in their off-the-field endeavors as well.
Boston legend Doug Flutie was one of the featured athletes during the new program, as he discussed his charity, the Doug Flutie Jr. Foundation. The charity's primary objective is to raise awareness and support families affected by autism disorders.
Flutie was extremely grateful for the charitable donation by Hess and for the New England fans who voted for his charity to receive the additional donation.
To hear more from Flutie about his charity and his experience on After the Game: Work Hard, Live Well, Give Back, check out the video above from Bruins Faceoff Live.

How Long Do You Cook Meat For? Cooking Temperatures for Meat & Food Safety
How does meat become contaminated?
"How long do you cook meat for?" is the wrong question to ask when you're cooking. Instead, ask yourself "what's the internal temperature of this meat?" According to the USDA, the only way to properly cook raw meat and avoid eating food contaminated with dangerous bacteria is to check its internal temperature.
Even though the U.S. food supply is largely safe, meats and poultry can still become contaminated in a variety of situations. In fact, the CDC estimates that 76 million Americans get sick from bacteria in food every year. The cleanest meat processing plants can still produce contaminated food because harmful bacteria are present in the intestines of healthy animals. If meat or poultry comes in contact with just a small amount of intestinal content during processing, contamination can occur.
But it doesn't take human interaction to cause contamination. Sometimes food contamination can happen naturally. Eggs, for example, can be infected with Salmonella if bacteria are present in a hen's ovaries. Before an egg's shell is ever formed, Salmonella may already be present. With so many ways for meat and poultry to become contaminated with bacteria, it's important to know proper internal meat temperature guidelines.
Safe Internal Temperatures For Cooking Meat
According to the USDA, time and appearance are inaccurate measures of meat's doneness. A hamburger may be completely brown in the middle yet still contain harmful bacteria if its internal temperature isn't hot enough. Research shows that one out of every four hamburgers will turn brown in the middle before it reaches a safe internal temperature of 160 degrees.
Likewise, different types and cuts of meat require different cooking times. And because oven and grill temperatures vary, there's no way to create a standard table of cooking times for different meats. So just because a recipe gives a cooking time for a meat dish, that doesn't mean the finished meal will necessarily be safe to eat—unless you check its temperature.
Instead of relying on meat's appearance or its cooking time, the USDA recommends consumers use instant-read thermometers to monitor the internal temperature of their meat, poultry, and egg dishes. To check if meat is done, insert a thermometer into the thickest part of the meat. Avoid touching the thermometer to bones, gristle, or fat as these parts will give inaccurate readings.
Compare your temperature reading to the USDA's Safe Minimum Internal Temperature Guidelines:
- Beef, veal, lamb, steaks, and roast should be cooked to 145 degrees Fahrenheit
- Ground beef, lamb, and veal should be cooked to 160 degrees Fahrenheit
- Turkey, chicken, and duck—whether whole, ground, or in pieces—should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit
- Eggs should have an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit
- Fish should be cooked to 145 degrees Fahrenheit
- Pork should reach 160 degrees Fahrenheit
Cooking your meats to these temperatures ensure your meal will be safe and free from harmful bacteria.
Remember that meat will continue to cook after you take it out of the oven. So you may not necessarily have to leave your roast in the oven until the thermometer reads 145 degrees. In fact, letting it reach the correct temperature in the oven may lead to dry, overcooked meat.

Seems that all the tourists have left the city. Kohlmarkt and the streets around were practically empty yesterday afternoon. There are one or two Sale tags left, but mostly you will find spring colors popping up in the Windows of the boutiques.
Rosé at Chanel
A bit of Mint at Armani
Again some nudish pink at Gucci
A friendly smiling Celine Phantom in orange was the highlight of all the fashion window shopping. Tempted to go inside, but then reminded myself that I already own a big bright red bag, which brings enough attention, when walking on the streets of Vienna. A color – a bit of the radar – is what I would need next.

Kitchen Design and style Tips
To really appreciate the quality, style and choice provided by Ikea you initial have to have an understanding of kitchen cabinetry in basic and what is accessible on the market place. Throughout my 29 years of making a decent living from my skilled handyman company, I have come across numerous IKEA kitchens that had been either already installed but needed a tiny tweaking, or the customer needed someone handy like myself to take care of the comprehensive installation. Some carpenters agree, and claim that although they may possibly be OK if you never have kids, IKEA kitchen systems won't take the punishment of an active family over time. I have noticed a lot of properly-made" kitchen cabinets that were purchased by way of the huge box shops and had their installers" set up them. All in all, I feel IKEA kitchens (and bathroom cabinets) are a excellent answer for an individual wanting to spend a little much less on their cabinets (as opposed to custom created), or for an individual seeking for a more trendy and modern day appearance.
If on the other hand, a person is not so inclined, and has a challenging time hanging a image straight, IKEA cabinets may possibly not be the most appropriate choice. Because we bill for our time, it doesnt make financial $ense (for home owners) to go the Ikea route if paid help are hired to assemble and set up, particularly when we can order totally preassembled item for about the identical cost. If a individual is at all handy and can read and realize instructions, then an IKEA design may possibly be for them. However, if time matters not, and they have all the tools and expertise, Ikea is a affordable option. We're preparing a future print function on the question of pre-fabricated, manufactured kitchens and your IKEA experiences, correct from ordering, through order fulfilment, to installation would aid us acquire essential viewpoint. Others claim IKEA is in fact not any cheaper than custom produced cabinets when all is mentioned and completed.
They were pricey for the client, the cabinets have been really not that great of top quality, and the installation was terrible. In spite of their sales volume, celebrities like Mike Holmes believe they're inferior to properly-produced custom kitchens. I have installed Ikea kitchens for customers IKEA Kitchens ( and household), and dozens of other brands from low-cost to greater finish. Some contractors complain that there is no mark-up on an IKEA kitchen simply because they are sold direct to the finish-user, only the labour charge of assembly and installation.
Throughout my 29 years of creating a decent living from my specialist handyman organization, I have come across several IKEA kitchens that have been either already installed but required a little tweaking, or the consumer required someone handy like myself to take care of the complete installation. Some carpenters agree, and claim that despite the fact that they may be OK if you don't have youngsters, IKEA kitchen systems won't take the punishment of an active family members over time. I have noticed several well-made" kitchen cabinets that were purchased by means of the huge box shops and had their installers" set up them. All in all, I feel IKEA kitchens (and bathroom cabinets) are a great resolution for a person wanting to devote a little much less on their cabinets (as opposed to custom created), or for an individual searching for a much more trendy and contemporary look.

Social Media Amplification
Luxury fashion house
"We thank Lumen from the bottom of our heart for doing such an outstanding job in promoting our new collection. We made the best choice of collaborating with Lumen – a millennial influencer herself to spread a word about our new collection The Routine Project- Version 1.0 targeted to the Generation Z audience and we think she took over the job with utmost sincerity and dedication. We were nothing but delighted and satisfied with her impeccable creation of content for us in terms of social media as well as blog posts. She effortlessly managed to deliver best content and exposure for our collection. We definitely look forward for more such collaborations with her and heartily recommend her to anyone looking for professionalism and seamless efficiency in promoting businesses."
– Shirin Shah, CEO
Premium cosmetics brand
"Lumen is a fabulous artist. I first saw her passion for makeup while away at study abroad with her two years ago. She is talented, creative and always yearning to learn more. I started working for Colorbar Cosmetics and felt Lumen would be a great resource to work with. Lumen did a fabulous collaboration with Colorbar. She brought out a whole new aesthetic to our products. We have never been more enamoured by an artist than we were with her. She created an array of beautiful looks including Halloween make up that looked surreal. Working with Lumen is always a pleasure, she is brilliant and we would love to continue working with her."
– Jayati Modi, Creative Director
Advertorial Post
Lifestyle and health curator
"We met Lumen at a Pop-Up event at one of our partner office locations and it was great to have her offer to review our monthly subscription box – the Taste Case. Lumen's review went above and beyond what we expected and provided a lot more relevant insight than we have got from most of our food blogger associations. The post provided an easy introduction to the Taste Case concept catered to any audience looking to eat healthier – and did so with humor and relatable insight into every product of the June Taste Case. In addition to describing the health benefits of each product, Lumen was able to instill with authenticity the relevance of the initiative to anyone reading. I would strongly recommend Lumen to anyone looking to showcase their concept to a large audience while keeping it real."
– Anirban Poddar, Founder & CEO

Lumen's implemented social media strategies (including the integration of uniform elements across all social media channels) improved our branding and enabled us to meet (and even surpass) our targets. With Lumen's help, we covered Facebook LIVE sessions, celebrity appearances at a number of prestigious award shows, and fashion collection launches extensively and with integrity. The Social Media Guidelines that Lulu created are still used by the company today. In addition, her aptitude for art direction was instrumental in creating visually appealing flat-lays for the promotion of our first ever Beauty Awards."
– Meriam Ahari, Fashion & Beauty Director
Video Content Creation
"Lumen was a participant in the AIESEC program, the world's largest youth-led organization with a mission to develop leaders through global experiences. Through AIESEC, she completed two digital marketing internships in the fashion, entertainment, and media industries in the span of nine months. Since she had previously created promotional articles for us on her travel blog, we requested a video to summarize her experience to use in our marketing campaigns. I am thrilled with the final product as it brought her whole experience with working and traveling with locals to life in 6 minutes. It will be showcased to students in University of Calgary in our promotional events. She exceptionally captured her interactions with locals in Mumbai, told her travel stories throughout India in an easy, digestible way, and delivered the final product in a timely manner. Lumen captivated our student audiences with her creative direction, using appropriate audio selections, transitions, and visual aids to communicate the highlights of her journey in India.
Without reservation, I would recommend Lumen Beltran and her team team to anyone who is looking for video content designed to create a demand for unique travel experiences and increased brand recognition."
– Leann Leung, Vice President of Outgoing Exchange Global Entrepreneur and Talent

Hi Paula
I have a few questions about dream catchers. My sister brought a couple back recently and quarantine insisted on irradiating them. That was fine until they folded all the feathers to pack them in the post! So, am I correct in assuming that you can just replace the feathers with new ones? I dont recall ever reading about any ritual observances during a dream catchers making (its a navajo one and I dont even know if dream catchers are traditional in that culture)? I dont know what kind of feathers they are – am I right that they cannot be eagle or hawk due to your laws, or are indigenes allowed to use them in their art? Is the type of feather used significant? Thanks Paula and have a nice day
Merideth from Australia
Only Indians Can Use Eagle Feathers for Religious Practices, Court Rules
To obtain eagle feathers for religious ceremonies, Native Americans can't collect their own feathers. They must get them through a Federal Repository. We have one here in Denver which you can read about by clicking the phrase. It is very interesting.
So most NA artists use pea hen, turkey etc. and either use them as is or paint them to be faux eagle, faux hawk, owl etc.
If feathers have been damaged they can be replaced with feathers that are significant to the person who owns the dreamcatcher – some use macaw, pheasant, goose……all sorts are used – it is what they are meant to represent that is important.
Dreamcatchers are usually associated with the Woodland and Plains tribes and some southwest, like Apache, but not usually Navajo, although Navajo make dreamcatcher jewelry.

That Magical Time Of Year
With all of the NHL Stanley Cup Playoff seeds now determined, we get to a regular feature on this blog that I know a lot of people enjoy. The HBIC Playoff Pool is a fun way to show off your prognostication skills without having to know a lot about each team's roster. I made a change to the way the Playoff Pool is run last season, and it turned out to be a lot of fun for each of the contestants. Why? Well, everyone loves getting a prize, and HBIC is aware of this fact. Much like last year, prizes are being accumulated as you read this, and I can tell you that there will be a ton of excellent prizes this season. And, similar to last season, I will try to get as many prizes as possible so that everyone comes away with something. That's how HBIC rolls.
Straight from last year's Playoff Pool rules, here is the format for the 2010 Hockey Blog In Canada Playoff Pool.
- Entrants will be required to pick the winner of each game for each series. In doing so, one will also choose the number of games played by the two teams in each series.
- Entrants will be required to pick the game-winning goal scorer for each game.
Points will be based upon your predictions.
- For each correctly-predicted team that wins the game, one point will be awarded. For correctly predicting the series length, two points will be awarded. For correctly predicting the series length and winning team, five points will be awarded. If one correctly predicts the series length and winning team, the two-point option is overrided by the higher-scoring option.
- For predicting the player who scores the game-winning goal per game, that entrant will receive an additional two points per game per correctly-chosen player.
- For the Pittsburgh-Ottawa series, I predict that Pittsburgh will win Games 1, 2, 4, and 6. Ottawa will win Games 3 and 5. I also predict that Evgeni Malkin will score the game-winner in Game 1; Chris Kunitz in Game 2; Jordan Staal in Game 4; and, Bill Guerin in Game 6. Daniel Alfredsson will score Ottawa's winner in Game 3 while Mike Fisher will score in Game 5.
- If I correctly predicted the entire series (highly improbable with my record of prognostications) of Pittsburgh winning in six games with all my game-winner scoring choices being right, I would earn 23 points (6 for each correct game + 5 for correctly predicting length and series winner + 12 for each game-winning goal scorer).
I would hazard a guess at there possibly being a tie between two or more people, so your tie-breaker, required at the start of the first round, is to name the team who will accumulate the most penalty minutes. Those who are tied will have their answers reviewed, and the entrant who picked the team with the higher PIM total for the playoffs will be crowned as the winner. Secondary tie-breaker, in case two entrants pick the same team for PIMs, will be number of series correctly predicted in length of games.
For example, if Entrant A picks Boston and Entrant B picks Detroit, and Boston has the higher PIM total, Entrant A would be the winner.
The best part of the HBIC Playoff Pool? It's FREE! That's right, kids. You can enter at no cost, and the shwag is up for grabs. The only thing I ask, to be fair, is that you only enter once, please. Make sure to include your full name on your email with your first round picks, and we'll get the show on the road on Wednesday night. The subject should read "HBIC Pool R1" so that I can keep track of all the entrants. You don't want your Poolie Picks to go missing in my disorganized mailbox, do you?
Also, if you want to be eligible for all prizes, you need to play all four rounds of the 2010 Playoff Pool. I don't think it's fair if someone is forced to take a lower prize if they finish lower than someone else who didn't participate right through to the end. For those only play one round and do well, complain all you want about this rule, but showing up is the first step in any activity.
Please send your emails with your first-round choices and tie-breaker choice to me ASAP. I'll get your picks recorded, and we'll see who is the best predictor in this year's Stanley Cup Playoffs.
Until next time, keep your sticks on the ice!

The Golden State Warriors have forced a Game 6 as they defeated the Toronto Raptors by a final score of 106-105. Stephen Curry recorded a game-high 31 points (10-23 FG, 5-14 3pt FG), along with 8 rebounds and 7 assists to lead the Warriors, while Klay Thompson added 26 points (9-21 FG, NBA Finals career-high 7-13 3pt FG), 6 rebounds and 4 assists in the victory. With his 31 points, Curry joins Michael Jordan (23), LeBron James (20), Shaquille O'Neal (16), Kobe Bryant (13) and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (10) as the only players since 1976-77 with 10+ career 30-point games in the NBA Finals. As a team, the Warriors sank 20 three-pointers (20-42 3pt FG, 47.6%), setting a new franchise-record for made threes in a single NBA Finals game and the second-highest single-game total by any team in NBA Finals history (24 – CLE on 6/9/2017).
Kawhi Leonard led the Raptors with 26 points (9-24 FG), 12 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 blocks in the losing effort. With his 26 points, Leonard (709) now has the 4th-highest scoring total in a single postseason in NBA Playoffs history, behind Michael Jordan (759 in 1992), LeBron James (725 in 2018) and Hakeem Olajuwon (723 in 1995). The Raptors lead this best-of-seven series 3-2, with Game 6 set to take place in Oakland on Thursday, June 13th at 9:00pm ET on ABC.

As for new decor, my search for art calendars on Amazon led me to a 2010 Amnesty International Calendar for $4 with beautiful multicultural photos! I laminated many of them and they've have been a wonderful addition to Tyler's multicultural displays in his large motor room. Plus, the purchase went to a wonderful and very Montessori cause!
I also (finally) took on a huge task of laminating all of the cultural photos that I took from National Geographic so that when Ty inevitably pulls them off of the walls, it doesn't matter. This is our India display.
So we'll see how long my satisfaction lasts...I'm already thinking that a huge poster of "Starry Night" may look great in the quiet room... :)

Sometimes it may occur that a commit was performed in a subversion repository, that was not exactly what the original intention was. In such cases we would like to have an "undo" operation and bring the repository back to its original state, as it was exactly before the inadvertent commit.
The title of this post might be misleading, as technically there is no way to just un-commit or undo an executed commit from a subversion repository; after all, such feature would automatically cancel the very definition of version control.
Below I will describe the second best solution (or work around, if you prefer) on removing the last commit(s) from a subversion repository, which is to create a new repository and replay all the commits from the beginning and up to the revision just before the accidental commit. When done this, simply replacing the new repository with the old one will give the illusion that the unwanted commit(s) have been undone.
In this guide I assume that you have local command-line access and sufficient permission to the repository folder. I also assume that you wish to uncommit the last commit from the top of the repository. Once other commits have been performed, things get complicated and the procedure described below is not applicable. If the repository is used by multiple users make sure to ask from your peers to cease any commits until you are done with reverting the repository state.
First, you need to create a new empty repository:
giannis@ubuntu:~$ svnadmin create new-repository
Then, you need to dump all revision history from the original repository, starting from revision 1 and go up to the revision number that was exactly before the unwanted commit (typically this will be the current revision number minus 1).
giannis@ubuntu:~$ svnadmin dump old-repository -r 1:XXX > old-repository.dump
. . . . .
. . . . .
. . . . .
* Dumped revision XXX.
In the above command make sure to replace XXX with the current revision number decreased by 1.
Then you just need to load the dump file into the new repository:
giannis@ubuntu:~$ svnadmin load new-repository < old-repository.dump
Alternatively, it is possible to perform both dump and load in one single step, without having to create the intermediate dump file:
giannis@ubuntu:~$ svnadmin dump old-repository -r 1:XXX | svnadmin load new-repository
Finally, you just have to replace the new repository with the old one. Before doing so, it would be wise to create a backup of the original repository, just in a case something goes wrong.
giannis@ubuntu:~$ tar cvzf old-repository-backup.tar.gz old-repository/
. . . . .
. . . . .
. . . . .
giannis@ubuntu:~$ rm -rf old-repository
giannis@ubuntu:~$ mv new-repository old-repository
And you're done! The advantage of this method is that you completely remove the accidental commit from the history of the repository, unlike other methods which simply merge the repository back to a previous revision.
I have done this many times and it helped. I hope you will also find this helpful. 🙂
