Thread: Announcing The Absolutely Adorable Rot-Your-Teeth Vector-Only Challenge!
THIS IS VECTOR-ONLY! How you interpret the topic is up to you. Whatever treatment/style you use is up to you. Anything goes...as long as it's VECTOR ONLY.
You can scan a guide sketch in, but it can't be a part of the final art in any way. It must be deleted before you post.
All art, including any linework, coloring, shading, etc., must be VECTOR ONLY. You can't use any part of your app that executes as a rasterized image. No brushes, no rasterizing filters, no nothin' that you're used to in Photoshop and Painter. This includes the brush tool in Illustrator. Pen only.
You can use any filters as long as they don't rasterize the image to work properly. This rules out most, if not all, photoshop filters. Basically, pretend you're working in Illustrator 4.x or so, or its equivalent.
Once your art is done, convert it to a jpeg for posting. Color sometimes muddies a bit in the conversion, so MINIMAL correction is allowed at this point, but DON'T add any additional detail or art effects. Make sure your jpg title includes your nick so I can keep track of them (for example, "magicgoo-blahblah.jpg").
WHEN YOU'RE FINISHED: Post your final piece in this thread. I'll open up the final poll Monday night after I transfer all the entries to my Image Event account.
Anyone who wants in is in. You can post your involvement here. All judging will be by open poll, and reports of viewers being hospitalized for "sugar overload" after seeing your entry will definitely count in your favor during judging.
K, hopefully i can make this one before driving myself nuts. Bah, i love the brushtool in illustrator.
I'm in this one too!
And uhm... so... we just do something extremely cute? Or does the topic actually mean something?
Yeah. That would turn my stomach...perfect!
Licking on your fur won't make it easier.
Where do I sign? Who do I KEEL?
Is that anything like "viejo gato sucio"?
I'll sign up here too so I can have more failings! You can never have enough of those!
Keep your dream alive - Feed it daily!
w.i.p...hopefully i'll be able to finish it by deadline.
afraid i'm not terribly good with vectors (lasso tool and gradient/fill in ps in this case),but i wanted to get this done.
should have used the tablet maybe.
oh well,do your cutest. i'm finished.
I still gotta finish my masked one.
*Edit: fixed my link properly.

Carni...don't worry about how good you think you are. You passed the 5 year old test, my daughter loved it. In fact she loved them all!
Entdroid, you do not need to refer to yourself as "self-proclaimed" any longer. I'm certain there are plenty of people shouting it from the hilltops!
Just an alert...I've got some people over and they're gonna be a while yet, so if you need some extra time, take it.
Carni, that's really cool. I mean cute. I mean i'm manly so it's nice.
And Goo, i knew you wouldn't make anything less than cutetastic.

Una moglie ideale (The Sex Monster) è una film del 1999 diretto da Mike Binder.

Trama
Marty Barnes, un frenetico imprenditore edile di Los Angeles, improvvisa una fantasia erotica per rendere la sua vita sessuale con la moglie Laura più cocente: coinvolgere un'altra donna in un rapporto a tre. Quest'ultima, inizialmente restia, finisce col superare le ultime resistenze ed accetta, principalmente per amore del marito.

Quando una sera, invitando a cena la collega di Laura, Didi, tutto succede realmente, il sogno di Marty comincia a divenire progressivamente un incubo: Laura scopre infatti con piacere un lato di sé che non sapeva o pensava di avere e diviene presto una focosa amante saffica con la quale diverse donne, compresa la sorella di Marty e le mogli dei suoi colleghi, vanno a letto.

Quando Marty scampa ad una malattia diagnosticata per tempo, la salute di lui preoccupa Laura che sembra tornare in sé e le promette di non avere più relazioni sessuali con altre donne, tornando fedele al loro matrimonio.

Tuttavia, proprio quando un giorno Marty è in procinto di chiudere un grosso affare con Dave Pembroke, la moglie di quest'ultimo socializza con Laura e si rivela anch'essa bisessuale nonché attratta da lei. Qualche giorno dopo, l'attraente donna si presenta senza preavviso a casa di Laura con intenzioni alquanto esplicite e quest'ultima si ritrova rapidamente seminuda nella sua camera da letto assieme alla sua nuova partner: quest'ultima però non vuole limitarsi al "convenzionale" rapporto ed invita Laura a legarla al suo letto.

Laura accetta ma finirà col farsi scoprire da Marty, rincasato poco dopo, che ripiomba di nuovo in uno stato di abbattimento: in quel frangente, la moglie si sfoga e lo accusa di essere lui il colpevole originario della situazione, che a causa di quel gioco iniziale è emersa un'altra versione di lei che non pensava di essere.

A complicare la cosa arriva immediatamente dopo Dave Pembroke, venuto a fargli visita per concludere l'importante affare: nello scoprire sua moglie seminuda e legata a letto quest'ultimo, sulle prime, prova a linciare Marty credendo in un tradimento poi quando si rende conto, su stessa confessione di Laura, di essere lei l'artefice, la offende con pesanti insulti sessisti. Marty difende duramente la sua compagna ed infine fa allontanare il suo ormai ex-socio in affari, che molla lì tutto, moglie compresa.

Nell'epilogo tragicomico, Laura capisce come nonostante tutto Marty la ami ancora. La scena finale vede la coppia ritrovata pranzare in un ristorante di lusso, dove Laura con accenno scherzoso e con lo stesso modo utilizzato dal marito stesso all'inizio, chiede a Marty cosa pensi del suo nuovo collega parrucchiere e se sia aperto a nuove esperienze.

Q: How do I update row positions with a form in PHP and MySQL? I have a table of categories that have a "position" field.  The results will be ordered by this field.  I want to be able to select a position (other than last) for the new row.
Basically, the form has a field that lets a user select "Before" or "After", and then lists all the categories by position.  Once the form is submitted, it should update the form based on the selection.  For example, if there are 7 existing rows and the user selects "Before 5" it should give the new row the position of 5 and then update every row after that (including the row that previously was position 5).  If "After 5" is selected, the new row will be given a position of 6 and rows that were previously 6 and 7 will be updated to 7 and 8.
Anyone have any ideas?
PS:  I'm doing this in CodeIgniter (if you couldn't tell), but I'm pretty sure the logic will be basically the same.
if(count($this->info) > 0)
{
     if($this->info['place'] == 0)
     {
          $new_cat_position = $this->info['where'];
     }
     else
     {
          $new_cat_position = $this->info['where'] + 1;
     }
     $data = array(
            'title' => $this->info['title'],
            'collapsible' => $this->info['collapsible'],
            'position' => $new_cat_position
        );
     if($this->db->insert('forum_parents', $data))
     {
          if($this->info['place'] == 0)
          {
              $this->db->where('position > ', $new_cat_position + 1);
          }
          else
          {
              $this->db->where('position > ', $new_cat_position);
          }
          if(!$this->db->update('forum_parents', $data))
          {
              $this->error = "The category was created, however, the positions of the other categories were not updated correctly... ".$this->db->_error_message();
          }
     }
     else
     {
          $this->error = "An unknown system error occurred while processing your request.  Please try again later... ".$this->db->_error_message();
     }
}

A: Try to use DataTable. It will help you. In that try row-reordering function as per your requirement.
Here is the link :
 http://code.google.com/p/jquery-datatables-row-reordering/wiki/Index

Here is the Working Example:

Once you are able to Roe-Reordering, You can update that records in your database using some logic.
Hope this help.

Definitely one of my most favorite shots i've ever taken!
In this business I love to see clients again. We saw the Aldrich family for our Christmas mini's last year and despite shooting in a cold dark warehouse they liked our work enough to come back. But this time we had some warmth and great late day sun to help.
Sometimes kids will be kids.
I want to smile like this when I run!

Q: Matlab error- Cell contents reference from a non-cell array object Why do I get the error Cell contents reference from a non-cell array object. Below is my code. Can anybody tell me what is wrong with this code?
%Read data from database.
curs = exec(conn, sprintf(['SELECT   description.imageName'...
    ' , description.brand'...
    ' , description.price'...
    ' , description.size'...
    ' , description.clothingDescription'...
    ' FROM  description WHERE description.imageID ="%s"'],imagename));

curs = fetch(curs);
close(curs);

%Assign data to output variable
results = curs.Data;

set(handles.edit2,'String',results{2});
set(handles.edit3,'String',results{3});
set(handles.edit4,'String',results{4});
set(handles.edit5,'String',results{5});

This is the full error message
Cell contents reference from a non-cell array object.

Name         Size            Bytes  Class     Attributes

  results      1x1                 8  double

A: The error communicates the message clearly as it is. The variable results is not a cell array and you are trying to extract non-existing results{1},...,results{5}. Hence the error.


The historical Caribbean and Africa come to life in this cleverly constructed but somewhat overwritten tale. And so do contemporary Chicago, London, Montreal, rural North Carolina and Illinois as Jackson-Opoku invents a lineage of African daughters who scatter like seeds in the wind, spanning the Old and New Worlds and almost three centuries. Even afterlife in the Great Beyond is rendered, as ancestors worry over their earthly daughters and try, sometimes in vain, to guide their loved ones toward the correct path. Strange twists of fate and spooky coincidences tie twigs and branches of the family tree together in a decidedly nonlinear fashion, while heavily symbolic leitmotifs tend to weigh down the narrative. Each woman is inexplicably drawn to water, in one or another form: rivers, oceans, mother's milk; and blood, sweat and tears. Textiles (Kente cloth, needlepoint, crazy quilts and beadwork) are another source of narrative coherence. Overseeing all, like the novelist herself, is Ananse the spider, master storyteller of African lore. It is through his observations as ""the world's greatest watcher, the one overlooked in corners"" that we learn the fates of generations of women. BOMC alternate and QPB featured selections; author tour. (Sept.) FYI: Inspired by a trip to Africa in 1975, Jackson-Opoku spent the next two decades working on this novel.

'This Gospel must first be published to all nations...' Mark 13:10
Introducing Senior Pastors Mike and Jacky Burgess
Pastors Mike and Jacky Burgess are the Senior Pastors of Holy Nation Church.
Mike was converted in 1982 at the age of eighteen. At the time he was working in banking in central London and continued in that occupation until August 1986.
Jacky gave her life to Jesus at the age of ten. This followed the dramatic change she saw in her mother following her mother`s conversion. Jacky was also filled with the Holy Spirit at the same age and began speaking in tongues and operating in the gifts of the Holy Spirit. She also received at that time the call of God to go into Christian service and knew that at some time in the future she would devote her life to serving the Lord Jesus.
Mike & Jacky met at the Emmanuel Pentecostal Church ( Assemblies of God ) in Dartford some six months after Mike`s conversion. Together they served wherever there was a need or in whatever capacity asked of them by the leadership including Evangelism; Teaching Sunday School; Youth Group Oversight Team; Drama and occasional Preaching.
Both Mike and Jacky left their employment in August 1986 to respond to the call of God. In May and June of 1986 a number of events occurred through which they both knew that the time had now arrived for them to start training for the ministry. And so, in September 1986, they departed from England and went to Holland on the first step of a long and exciting adventure with Jesus. They went to a Bible and Evangelism Training School in the south of Holland called "Jong en Vrij" in obedience to the Holy Spirit. Upon completing their studies there, they were asked to join the full-time staff of the school, where they became responsible for the Teaching Curriculum, the Pastoral Care, led Evangelism Teams all throughout that country, preached at conventions and performed Christian Drama Productions.
After four years of this, the Lord led them to Youth With A Mission (Y.W.A.M.), in Amsterdam where they did a Discipleship Training School and were part of an outreach team which ministered in Hong Kong, Taiwan and China.
Throughout all of these years, and indeed since, Mike and Jacky have lived by faith. They have never asked for money, nor sent out newsletters asking for money but rather have trusted in God`s promise to them that He would supply all of their needs.
They returned to England and worked for a short time with their ´home´ church in Dartford before joining a Y.W.A.M. Team in Brixton, South London. There they developed a prison outreach ministry to Brixton and Wandsworth Prisons - occasionally also going to Holloway and Wormwood Scrubs. In addition, they worked among many of the homeless people in London and became very familiar with that scene.
In the mid 1990`s Mike and Jacky were leading their own small Y.W.A.M. Team in central London when the Lord started speaking to them about having their own church.
Holy Nation Church, as it is now, started in 1998 with Mike & Jacky Burgess pastoring the church since it started.
Mike and Jacky have four children, Misha, Sophie, Luke & Grace.
Mike and Jacky have a real burden for the nations. They have led or been part of teams which have brought the gospel to many countries including Belgium, France, Ireland, Italy, Spain, Albania, Hungary, Korea, Portugal, India, Philippines, Kenya, Rwanda, Pakistan, Uganda, Israel, Egypt and as mentioned, China, Taiwan and Hong Kong not to mention of course the years in Holland when they literally travelled throughout the whole country with the gospel.
They firmly believe that in the coming years they will increasingly facilitate teams to go out to the nations with the love of Jesus Christ.
Sunday services are held at 10.30am at The Abbey Centre, 34 Great Smith Street, Westminster, London, SW1P 3BU.

The XTERRA Southeast Championships in Pelham, Alabama will always hold a special place in my heart. It's partly due to the fact that it was the second triathlon I'd ever done (in 2007) and partly due to it being home. I was born and raised in Alabama and although I haven't lived there since graduating from high school, it will still always be home to me.
Even though Alba, the kids and I live in North Carolina, all of my extended family still lives in Bama. It's been that way for generations. Heck, our family still lives on land that was settled by Bartons back in the 1800's.
I stayed with my parents and they tried their best to derail my good eating habits with pot roast, peas, butterbeans (with the ham), mashed potatoes and cornbread.
I managed to get in quite a few rides and runs at Oak Mountain in preparation for the race. The EPC Multisport Group Coaching for that week consisted of a few brick sessions as part of the race week taper. During one of my brick sessions, after a lap of the course, I went for a lap of the run. On the run course, when you get to the dam, you have to traverse a bridge that crosses the spillway. The lead-in on the bridge is a hard left turn that in years past has been slippery, so I always try to focus on my footing. One day, during my run, I looked down, focused on my footing and ran onto the bridge. When I picked my head up, I saw a red tail hawk sitting on the railing at the end of the bridge. Upon approaching him, he flew off before I could get a photo.
This wouldn't have been as freaky of an occurrence if it had only happened once, but the very next day, it happened again, in the same exact place, with him sitting in the same exact spot. This time, I was armed with a camera and not only got a photo, but also captured a video of him. The picture doesn't do it justice, you HAVE to check out the video.
That afternoon, I wanted to take my bike into Cahaba Cycles to have a new set of bearings pressed into the bottom bracket. They'd needed replacing for while and I had put it off long enough. Rather than take them a dirty bike to work on, I washed it up only to find this little problem during the process.
Apparently, during a previous rebuild of this wheel (after I wrapped it around a tree), there was an all-important, teeny weeny, washer left out. This little washer normally helps to disperse the pressure, but in it's absence, it slowly allowed the spoke to pull through. I'll spare you the gory details, but this little problem resulted in American Classic over-nighting a new rim to the shop and a last minute rebuild. It was quite the expensive endeavor. I didn't have to bribe the mechanics with beer, but I gave Brian a six-pack anyhow for doing such a great job. Now, I just have to hunt down the guy that previously built the wheel and visit him with a sock full of potatoes.
For this race, I totally goofed and didn't properly plan my pre-race breakfast. In all the hustle and bustle the day prior, I totally forgot to hit the store. Needless to say, on the way to Oak Mountain, I had to stop in at Waffle House for a breakfast of champions. I grabbed it to go and on my way out I bid good morning to some of the XTERRA crew going in.
The race venue and transition area was a beautiful sight and there's nothing like it to get butterflies in your stomach stirring in anticipation. Oh wait. Maybe that's the Waffle House I felt.
Rain began to fall, even though it was not forecasted to do so (or at least the percentage was low) but thankfully, it let up just before the race started. The week leading into the race, there was a lot of banter on the XTERRA Southeast Athletes Facebook group as to whether the swim would be wetsuit legal or not. Generally, folks were giving Casey Fannin a hard time since he loves wetsuit swims (insert sarcasm here). The weather combination of low night temps and rain caused the water temp to dip below the legal bar. My friends at Synergy sent me a skin suit in prep for this race, but I got to wear the wetsuit instead.
The pros got a two minute head start before the rest of the racers received the starting canon. The two-lap, 750 meter swim (1500 total) went fairly well for me since I found clear water early. My goggles fogged up quite a bit and I had to stop briefly after the second buoy to lick them. During the second lap, I managed to catch up to the backend of a chase pack. My goal of swimming just hard enough to do well, but not so hard as to overheat in the wetsuit, seemed to work ok.
Coming into transition, most of the bikes were still there, so I knew I had finished my swim in a pretty decent place. Best that I could tell, there were twenty or so championship racers ahead of me. All of the sprint racers were still out on the course, so their bikes were absent.
The bike course was slippery from the morning's rain and there were people crashing right and left. There was lots of traffic in the first couple of miles, many times with racers stacked up in a train 5 or 6 deep. For the most part, everyone was nice and yielded when asked for a pass.
I caught up with Darren Cox somewhere near the pump track. He had crashed hard and was still attempting to get his wits back. Shortly after catching up, the skies went eerily dark, so much so that we had a hard time seeing the trail. We could have used some headlights for sure. Next thing we knew it started pouring rain and did so for close to the next 30 minutes. My riding style and strategy had to be modified a bit to account for the wet conditions.
Darren and I stayed together throughout most of the race, leapfrogging as we went, taking turns leading. Once we made it up the long fire road climb, complete with loose rocks and small boulders, we caught up to Frank Fernandez-Posse, another racer in my age division. As we continued to climb, we passed Frank and kept on trucking. I thought it'd be the last I'd see him but he proved me wrong as he whizzed past me with a whoosh and a blur on the descent into Blood Rock. He was hauling! Darren and I continued our leap frogging, trying to catch back up to Frank and just before Rattlesnake Ridge, I looked at my Timex to see where we were time-wise. It was then I decided to hop up front and pick up the pace. By the time we finished the bike, the sun had come out and blue skies prevailed.
For nutrition, I stuck with my tried and true GU Roctane drink with an extra electrolyte punch by adding a GU Electrolyte tablet. I didn't want to carry two bottles and since there was a bottle hand-up before the climb, I figured I could take in the extra fluid there. It worked flawless except for the fact I dropped the bottle when I grabbed it from the volunteer and had to come to a screeching halt.
The bike held up well despite the muddy conditions. After the race, I noticed the only clean part of my bike was the ESI Grips which work well in ANY conditions, even muddy ones like this race. The Schwalbe Rocket Rons with snakeskin held up well for me without any punctures. They hooked up well in the sketchy turns despite the loose rock and mud.
Coming into transition, I was right behind one of the female pros and Frank. I transitioned as quickly as I could and ended up passing quite a few folks in the process before taking off onto the run course. I guess I must have passed Frank in transition, as I didn't see him on the road section that makes up the beginning of the run.
Jack Cartwright, another racer in my age group, passed me during the initial quarter-mile of the run and slowly pulled away. I was hoping that maybe there was a chance that he would slow down, thinking that he was taking off too fast initially, but I would be proven wrong. He's just a fast runner! Not knowing who is on their first lap or second, I decided to not take any chances and pass as many folks as I could, especially on my second lap. I tried to catch Jack, but I just couldn't run him down.
Overall, I think it was a successful race. I ended up 2nd in my age group, 7th overall amateur and I earned my XTERRA World Championships slot. I truly wanted to finish on top of the podium like I did last year, but it just didn't happen. Anyone who knows me probably also knows that I've dissected the race and my efforts nine billion ways to determine where to improve. I have a couple of ideas and will be putting them into practice over the next couple of weeks.
As always, it was great to see all of my XTERRA family again, including my fellow XTERRA Ambassadors and to hang out at the Workman's post-race picnic. Not only did Little Man get to ride his bike all around the race venue on Friday and Saturday, but he even took part in a little swim.

Autumn Wind Christian Fellowship is a small church located in the Columbus area in Westerville, OH. Our church is Non-Denominational / Independent.
Autumn wind brings to mind a peaceful tranquil late summer afternoon sitting under a Maple tree. Thoughts of simpler times when life was not full of the hustle and bustle of everyday life but when life was about sitting under trees dreaming of what life would be like when we grew up to be adults. God wants us to return to that time in our mind when worry was left to others, as His children He wants us to cast all our cares on Him because He cares for us. He tells us not to worry about tomorrow because tomorrow will worry about itself. At Autumn Wind Christian fellowship we live life like this and teach others to do the same. Our Philosophy is there is nothing that will happen before midnight that we cannot handle; it is when we worry days and days in advance we become over whelmed. When we have problems we reach out to each other and to Jesus, in this way we receive the strength we need to live each day in God's loving arms, just as He intended. Autumn wind also plays a crucial part in our mission. Just as the leaves on the maple tree start to change color and the wind blows colder so we are reminded we are like a flower gently fading away. Our time here is not to be spent in endless pursuit of things and pleasure but in service to God and our fellow man. The leaves fall from the tree, we see winter approaching and the time approaching for God's harvest of earth when He gathers the wheat from the chaff and puts it in His barn. He tells us there are multitudes and multitudes in the valley of decision and that today is the day of salvation, we must be ready to help others get ready as well. Just as the maple tree loses all its leaves and snow follows then it is too late to prepare for the winter cold, so it is with God s work. God tells us that when the door is shut it will be too late to enter in to His kingdom. We must work while there are leaves on the tree and autumn left in the wind. While God does want us to enjoy our times under His trees, He also wants be aware of the changing seasons of life. We must go and tell the world what God has done for us then each fellow traveler can sit with us under God's loving arms and enjoy the shade of his love.


So what ARE teacup pups anyway?
Feed your teacup puppies a healthy diet. It should be one that's rich in fiber. Purchase canned or dry foods that contain ingredients like eggs, chicken, fruits, veggies, and omega 3 fatty acids. Of important note, be sure to buy food that contains Karo syrup. Teacup pups are prone to low blood sugar and this ingredient can help counteract that.
Lastly, always provide fresh water. Teacup pups are like any other dog, except in size! They always need fresh water.

Corbel from the…
Corbel from the eaves of the Court of Comares
From the Nasrid eaves to the Christian interpretation Dr Javier Serrano Espinosa
The Palace of Comares, the key palace construction by Sultan Yusuf I, has an emblematic hall from which it takes its name. We will see that in 1855 the portico at the entrance to the Palace had to be propped up after it collapsed due to the rotten condition of various beams from its original Nasrid single-sided roof, which covered both the portico and the adjoining Hall of the Boat (Sala de la Barca). The collapse of the gallery of the North portico of the courtyard of the Palace of Comares led to the first great restoration campaigns conducted by Rafael Contreras, with the aid of the engineer Ramón Soriano and the architects Baltasar Romero and Juan Pugnaire in 1857. This restoration work transformed the appearance of the Nasrid Palace by adding various decorative construction features to create the image we see today.
It was during the work on the eaves that this bracket was taken down and transferred to the Alhambra collection. From a stylistic point of view it is different from those used in the Palace of the Lions, in that it is carved with eight-shape motifs in a series of simple knots that spread across the width. These motifs are shallow-carved and painted and show a degree of evolution from the brackets and modillions with lobes used in the Caliphate Era.
Our presentation of this piece, which we will be contextualizing within the framework of Nasrid woodwork, will serve as an introduction to our description of one of the best restorations carried out in the Alhambra in the 19th Century, forerunner of the decorative praxis carried out later by Rafael Contreras Muñoz to leave this part of the Palace just as we see it today.
Time: Saturdays at 12.00
Place: Room V, Museum of the Alhambra, Palace of Charles V

madison [dot] hughes [at] student [dot] unsw [dot] edu [dot] au (Madison Hughes)
I am a Masters student of Interpreting and Translation at UNSW and I am honoured to have been an intern at CCAMLR for two weeks. I worked under the guidance of Jesús Martínez, assisting in the translation of documents from Spanish into English. I was exposed to a variety of texts branching from marine animals to legal issues. I felt challenged in terms of the difficulty of the translations but also excited at the prospect of putting the skills I have developed in the classroom to use in a professional setting. It was great being able to use a different translation software program from what I have used at uni. I learnt a lot from Jesús not only within the scope of translation but also about the dynamics of an international organisation.
As an avid birdwatcher and with a background in marine biology, I have long held a fascination with Antarctica and its surrounds. This experience was truly a unique opportunity that I will never forget. I am lucky to have met such knowledgeable and kind people as well as learning a lot along the way! Thank you again to everyone at CCAMLR for the past two weeks
o [dot] kozyrevitch [at] student [dot] unsw [dot] edu [dot] au (Olga Kozyrevitch)
I am an Interpreting and Translating Studies Masters student at UNSW. Thank you for selecting me and allowing me to complete my internship with CCAMLR during February 2019 under the guidance of Mrs Ludmilla Thornett and Mr Blair Denholm. It was an honour and a humbling experience working within the walls of CCAMLR, meeting the team and be exposed to such great work culture as you have cultivated within your organisation.
Everything I've learned in the last two years of study and in my past experiences as a Russian interpreter came in handy and had to pass the pressure test during these two weeks of translating work. The variety of texts provided a range of complexity and gave me a fair idea of the work, required of the Russian translator.
I was most impressed and taken by the professional goodwill and the integrity shown to me by the CCAMLR colleagues. They are truly motivated by the success of their peers and it surely helped me during my stay in Hobart.
Thank you for this opportunity and hope to be of service of these days.
ml [dot] brescianini [at] gmail [dot] com (Maria-Luiza Brescianini)
I am an engineer from Brazil and I recently moved to Hobart. I have been always passionate about the ocean and I recently concluded a short course of Marine and Antarctica Science (Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies – IMAS/UTAS). I am completing an internship as a SISO (Scheme of International Scientific Observation) Support officer at CCAMLR. My main task is to provide support relating to data analysis.
I expect that this position will allow me to expand my technical skills and knowledge relating to data analysis, conservation measures and marine policy.
carruel [dot] g [at] hotmail [dot] fr (Guillaume Carruel)
I am a masters student in coastal ecosystem and fisheries management from France. Currently in internship in SPRFMO's secretariat, I was given the chance to join CCAMLR's Hobart offices for a week to discover another RFMO and discuss on common subjects of interest. I am really grateful for this opportunity which will enable me to deepen my knowledge on international fish stock management and related matters.
I will be interested in considering various topics related to compliance (IUU fishing, implementation of measures by States, performance review) as it will allow me to broaden the current internship project I have taken on in SPRFMO on compliance matters in RFMOs.
adrien [dot] 31 [at] orange [dot] fr (Adrien Courillon-Havy)
I'm from France and I'm currently finishing my Masters degree in International Legal Careers at the Université Grenoble Alpes. After graduating from my Bachelors degree in general law, I used to hesitate between pure marine law and international law which is why I tried to find something at the crossroads of both.
I'm glad I was given the opportunity to undertake an internship within the CCAMLR to achieve my graduation internship since it will provide me with a first experience and allow me to start specialising toward the sphere of international marine law.
I'm really looking forward to working within CCAMLR in order to discover more about States' policies and compliance as well as the Commission's role in protecting Antarctic marine living resources. This is even more relevant since I intend to complete a research paper on the role of international law (in general) on the protection of Antarctic marine biological resources.
josefina [dot] derpich94 [at] gmail [dot] com (Josefina Derpich)
In 2013, I started my law studies at the Pontifical Catholic University of Valparaíso, where I acquired an interest in public international law. Such interest became a motivation to apply to be a member of the University team in the Phillip C. Jessup International Law Moot Court Competition in 2015. One year later, I was granted the position of assistant of the public international law course, which I continue to exercise until today and gave me oportunity to undertake this internship at CCAMLR.
During my internship at CCAMLR, the main goal that I hope to achieve is to learn. To learn about CCAMLR as an international institution, from the people who work there, and how I can contribute. More specifically, I would like to experience firsthand how this Commission faces the problems of conserving Antarctic marine life, what concrete measures are being used to achieve this goal and how effective they turn out to be. I also think it would be interesting to see and experience how the Members interact with each other and which are their positions regarding the objectives of the Commission. Finally, but not less important, I think it is an excellent opportunity to practise my English and meet the expectations that are demanded of any intern.
Liam_E_D [at] hotmail [dot] com (Liam Dunn)
I recently graduated from the University of Wollongong with a Masters in International Studies. My thesis for this course dealt with the Antarctic Treaty System and the threats facing its continued success as an international regional governance regime.
My internship with the CCAMLR Secretariat is focused on three main tasks:
To assist with a usability study of the CCAMLR website, providing insight into how users are interacting with the website and informing future site development.
To work with the Executive Secretary in the collection and preparation of materials to provide assistance to the Review Panel for CCAMLR's 2017 performance review.
To compile and organise a comprehensive, searchable list of all documents related to CCAMLR's Collateralised Debt Obligations to assist in the recovery of lost monies.
This internship opportunity provides me with valuable experience in an international organisation, exposes me to a wide range of roles and tasks, and enables me to explore the Antarctic Treaty System, and CCAMLR in particular, from a different angle.
fhemans [at] ucsd [dot] edu (Frederick Hemans)
I am a graduate student at the University of California San Diego School of Global Policy and Strategy, with a regional specialisation in China and a career track in International Environmental Policy. I am the Director of Content at the Journal of International Policy Solutions, a graduate student-run academic journal. My previous background and education is in public administration and higher education administration.
While performing the tasks of the Secretariat Internship at CCAMLR during July and August 2017, I hope to learn about the function of international organisations and how they work in global governance and conservation. I also hope to learn about the processes of data gathering and its role in policy making.
kana941 [at] uw [dot] edu (Kanae (Kana) Komaki)
I am a masters candidate at the School of Marine and Environmental Affairs of the University of Washington, Seattle, USA. My background is physical oceanography, and I received Ph.D. degree in Natural Environmental Studies from the University of Tokyo in 2007. The dissertation theme was 'Study of deep ocean circulations in the North Pacific using lowered acoustic Doppler current profiler', from which one of my interests, the Antarctic Ocean, has continued.
Having enhanced oceanographic observation experience through academic projects of exploring the deep-sea hydrothermal system, I also engaged in Japanese national marine policy projects in non-profit (Ocean Policy Research Foundation in Japan), corporate (The General Environmental Technos Co. Ltd. in Japan) and academic fields (Kochi University in Japan). My current interest is in development of policy monitoring systems for deep-sea practices in international waters that could bring about a balance between environmental protection and development.
During this great opportunity of the policy internship at CCAMLR, I would like to enhance my skill in the field of policy implementation processes of deep-sea fishing monitoring and surveillance instruments, especially using new technologies.
marinelli [dot] ro [at] gmail [dot] com (Roberta Marinelli)
I am originally from Italy. Two years ago I moved to Sydney, where I am currently completing my English-Spanish Masters of Interpreting at UNSW. During my last semester of the program I was offered the amazing opportunity to do an internship as a translator at CCAMLR.
At CCAMLR I joined the Spanish team of translators, where under the supervision and attentive guidance of experienced in-house translators, such as Jesús Martinez, I was introduced to the translators' duties and activities within an international organisation.
This internship at CCAMLR represented an opportunity, first of all, to understand and know in depth the kind of work done in an international organisation, its objectives and its stakeholders. I consider this remarkably useful from the perspective of an interpreter. In addition, this internship enabled me to strengthen my skills not only as a translator, but also as a linguist. One of my major tasks was, apart from merely translating documents, to revise past translation and extract information about the use of modality in particular documents, namely conservation measures.
During this precious time at CCAMLR, I was given the opportunity to work with real professionals to "translate" my studies into practice in a friendly, supportive and professional environment. So, thank you each and every one of you for this short, yet intense experience.
sscott8 [at] utas [dot] edu [dot] au (Stephanie Scott)
I am originally from New South Wales (Australia) where I studied Geology before moving to beautiful Tassie. I am now an undergraduate student at the University of Tasmania's Institute for Marine & Antarctic Studies based here in Hobart. I am in my final year of study and currently completing my honours thesis, which is looking at the issues surrounding IUU fishing throughout the Southern Ocean. As part of my honours thesis I conducted interviews with experts on IUU fishing, which led me to CCAMLR.
I am very excited to have the opportunity to experience CCAMLR through this internship. I am eager to learn about the meeting process and the newest developments regarding IUU fishing and other compliance matters.
rileykim1126 [at] gmail [dot] com (Riley Kim)
I am advisor/international fisheries affairs specialist at the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries of the Republic of Korea. I have been with the Ministry for six years now and my roles at the Ministry include analysing regional/international fisheries-related policies and participating as a Korean delegate in discussions and negotiations of regional fisheries management organisations such as CCAMLR, WCPFC and IATTC. I also participate in multilateral discussions on the UN Fish Stocks Agreement.
The main objectives of my internship at CCAMLR are:
to develop and enhance a comprehensive understanding and knowledge about the institutional and regulatory framework and the operation of CCAMLR, with a particular focus on the process of reviewing and amending conservation measures, and;
to explore ways in which Korea can improve its engagement in and contribution to CCAMLR.
jdsan4 [at] student [dot] monash [dot] edu (Janneth Santafé )
I am Colombian and I moved to Melbourne about 2 years ago to do a Master in Interpreting and Translation Studies (English-Spanish) at Monash University. In October 2015, during the annual meetings of the Commission (CCAMLR) and the Scientific Committee (SC-CAMLR) I had the privilege to observe the remarkable work of the interpreters, simultaneously interpreting for international delegates and scientists at these meetings. This was an enriching and inspiring experience, which enabled me to learn about the vital work that CCAMLR is doing for the protection of Antarctic marine living resources and the significant role that interpreters and translators play as communication mediators between its stakeholders. Hence, when offered the opportunity to come for a second time to take an internship with the translation team, I had no doubts about accepting.
As a result, this was one of the most valuable experiences that I have had as student. On one hand, I was able to work with the CCAMLR translation team learning about work practices in this international organisation and the importance of cooperation among colleagues, in order to discuss translation issues and consequently make appropriate decisions about translations. On the other hand, it allowed me to put into practice the knowledge acquired during my Masters and to take advantage of the translators' (in-house) expertise and advice to hone my professional skills in the translation of technical and scientific documents.
To conclude, I would like to emphasise how grateful I am with CCAMLR and Monash University to make this unique experience possible.
paapa1 [at] student [dot] monash [dot] edu (Paula Aparicio)
I am from Chile and I am currently finishing my Master in Translation and Interpreting studies at Monash University, where I took the combined interpreting and translation stream. During the second semester of my Masters course, I had the opportunity to visit CCAMLR during the Thirty-fourth Meeting of the Commission for two days in October 2015. I observed both the Commission and the Scientific Committee meetings, as well as observed the performance of the simultaneous interpreters working at CCAMLR. I was fascinated by the work done here in CCAMLR and by the range of nationalities, professions and topics involved in this task.
This time, at the end of my Masters, I will be doing a translation internship in CCAMLR, and I will be working in the translation team, specifically in the Spanish team with Jesús Martínez, an in-house translator from CCAMLR. I will have the opportunity to translate different types of documents, such as proposal and meeting reports, improving my translation skills and learning more about translation strategies and technical and specific terminology used in the Commission. At the same time, I will have the opportunity to understand better the work done by CCAMLR, in the conservation of Antarctic marine ecosystems and its different programs of research and applications of conservation measures. I will also share with the translation team and all the personnel working here.
Thanks to the opportunity that I had last year to attend the meeting, and this translation internship, I feel more passionate about my two professions (translation and interpreting) and its contribution to the Commission
mangguomusi1992 [at] 163 [dot] com (Rui Wang)
I am currently studying for a Masters in Fishery Stock Assessment at the College of Marine Sciences, Shanghai Ocean University, China. As Shanghai Ocean University is a member of the International Antarctic Institute this has allowed me to enrol with UTAS to undertake the Antarctic and Southern Ocean Internship at the CCAMLR Secretariat. As well as having fun, developing my research interests and improving my English, the internship will allow me to get a better understanding of the role of science in CCAMLR and in the Secretariat.
I will be working on a project to assemble available information related to the fishery for Antarctic krill from a range of sources, including public/social media, peer-reviewed scientific literature, CCAMLR meeting reports and expert opinion to evaluate where the greatest differences in opinion, information and expectation arise. With the high profile of krill, and the region in which the fishery takes place, there comes a level of societal concern, often expressed in emotive terms, that in some cases may lead to a distinct gap between the information available to the public and access to the facts with which to evaluate different sources of information. Having examined the range of information sources available, the project will evaluate what factors may create differences between societal and scientific perspectives, with a view to developing approaches to address these differences.
I will also be working on approaches to using data from the krill fishery to determine the feasibility of developing indices of krill abundance as well as methods and approaches to stock assessment in relation to the krill fishery.
sebclevy [at] gmail [dot] com (Sébastien Clevy)
I am currently enrolled as a student of the Master of Translation & Interpreting (MAITS – English>French; French>English) at UNSW and was delighted to be offered a selective internship position with CCAMLR as part of the Student Practicum subject. As a lawyer-linguist, I am passionate about languages, international law and cross-cultural communication.
The CCAMLR internship program presented a unique opportunity for me to develop my professional knowledge and technical skills (e.g. use of Computer-Assisted Tools) as a translator and to gain solid hands-on experience. Under the supervision and guidance of a team of experienced translators, I was entrusted to translate complex technical reports, daily correspondence, circular letters and updates to the official CCAMLR website.
During my time at CCAMLR, I was able to appreciate first-hand the important role of translators in the functioning of an international organisation and, in particular, the cross-cultural dissemination of information between CCAMLR stakeholders on the protection of the Antarctic ecosystem. This valuable experience allowed me to gain a better understanding of the professional skills expected of a translator and to reflect on the connection between the translation theories taught at UNSW and their practical application in a challenging and supportive working environment.
eoshea [at] utas [dot] edu [dot] au (Eldene O'Shea)
I have recently graduated from the University of Tasmania with a Bachelor of Antarctic Science. Through these studies I have had a large focus on Southern Ocean ecosystems and the bodies which manage and regulate them.
I have joined CCAMLR to assist with the documentation of 'geographical areas' of interest to CCAMLR. Through this project we are trying to locate information on the early work which defined the Convention Area and its areas, subareas and divisions.
This is a unique opportunity for me to join this team and will provide me with some insight and background before beginning my honours thesis later this year, which will be focused on a similar topic.
Bonnie Galbraith
Bonnie completed her Bachelor of Science at the University of Tasmania before working as an environmental scientist in Tasmania and Western Australia. With a desire to focus on marine natural resource management, she commenced a Masters of Marine and Antarctic Science.
Bonnie focused on extending her skills in environmental law and gaining an understanding of the political and legal framework of fisheries management at a domestic and international level. She was fortunate enough to be granted the opportunity to observe the CCAMLR meetings in conjunction with her studies.
Emma Luimes
I graduated from the University of Tasmania in 2013, with a Master in Journalism, Media and Communications. I've been an intern in the CCAMLR Secretariat Communications Section for the last few months.
Living in Tasmania for the last ten years has really strengthened my interest in conservation. I was interested in getting involved with CCAMLR because I saw it as a great opportunity to foster new skills in a small and supportive team, while still being in an international organisation – this is a rare opportunity in Hobart and a unique experience to be involved in an organisation founded on integrity, compliance and conservation without having to leave the state.
At the moment, I'm working on CCAMLR's intranet, organising the wealth of images in the collection for greater access and usability. I'm also helping to put together a calendar to distribute at the upcoming CCAMLR official meeting.
Pailin Munyard
When I moved to Tasmania at the age of 8, it seemed everyone in Hobart had been to Antarctica, which was one of my motivations for embarking upon a Bachelor of Antarctic Science at UTAS some years later. After a few years of getting side-tracked and wondering if science really was my cup of tea, I ended up doing Honours at the Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies (IMAS) on a project to do with fishing that was more social science than science.
As a consequence of the project, and of being extended the privilege of sitting in on CCAMLR's meetings in 2014, I've become interested in the way fisheries are managed. I hope to gain an insight into the various aspects of fisheries management, and into what actions can bring about the best results.
While with the Secretariat, I will work on a Non-Contracting Parties (NCPs) engagement strategy that was developed by the Catch Documentation Scheme (CDS) Review Panel in 2014 and endorsed by the Commission at CCAMLR-XXXIII. CCAMLR seeks to promote cooperation with NCPs through the adoption, implementation and maintenance of a multifaceted and targeted strategy that I will work on over the coming months.
Emily Robinson
I have had a long held fascination with Antarctica and when I found out in high school that the University of Tasmania had a course dedicated to the study of all things Antarctic, I knew I had to study it. I moved from Adelaide to Hobart in 2011 to start a Bachelor of Antarctic Science, majoring in Geography and Environmental Studies, which I completed in 2014. I have now moved onto studying a Masters of Marine and Antarctic Science, also at the University of Tasmania. Currently however, I am undertaking a Postgraduate Certificate of Antarctic Studies at the University of Canterbury in New Zealand which I will use towards my Master's degree.
I have a particular passion and interest in environmental management in Antarctica, including marine resource management, which has fueled my interest in the CCAMLR system. I hope to go on to work in environmental management, environmental policy creation and science communication, especially in an Antarctic context.
Chirata Thomsen
The objective of the translation internship is to consolidate the knowledge and skills acquired during S1 and S2 of the UNSW Postgraduate Program in Translation and Interpreting, MAITS.
CCAMLR, as a leading institution in the area of conservation of Antarctic marine ecosystems, provides an ideal framework to hone CAT skills according to international standards and state of the art technology in translation and also to develop an understanding about the translation section synergy within a scientific prestigious institution.
Likewise, working on the organisation premises allows an immersion in the dynamic of the translation section with access to specialised terminology and corporate editing requirements enhanced by professional guidance provided by experienced practitioners in English-Spanish and Spanish-English translation.
Paul Vautrin
Originally from Paris, where I studied French literature, I migrated to Melbourne in 2013 to study English and, later, translation and interpretation at Monash University. I have been given the opportunity to undertake an internship with CCAMLR to apply and consolidate my translation knowledge.
Working at CCAMLR will train me in the use of technology-assisted translation as well as accelerate my initiation to the professional world of translation by allowing me to receive direct assistance and advice from experienced translators. Though I already share its beliefs, the Commission also belongs to an international specialised scientific field I know little about and am curious to discover, for translators often need to adapt to new domains and terminology.
Aelish White
I am currently completing my third year of a Bachelor of Laws and Bachelor of Arts with a major in Politics and Policy at the University of Tasmania. My studies have largely had a focus in Antarctic and environmental policy. This has been furthered by my work with Tassal over the past few years which has focused my passions towards fisheries and sustainable environmental management. Due to my studies I am very excited to explore these passions with CCAMLR.
Veronika Wirth
As a student of Master of Interpreting and Translation Studies at Monash University I was thrilled to receive an internship at CCAMLR. The main objective was to gain practical translation experience in a real-life working environment.
At CCAMLR I joined the Russian team as my working pair is English>Russian. It was a great experience since I enjoyed the challenge and collaboration throughout the project. My task was to translate a research article on the trade analysis of toothfish import and export data. This was of a particular interest for me since I have a scientific background and would like to focus on scientific translation in the future.
During my internship at CCAMLR the Russian team provided me with ongoing guidance, support and excellent feedback. They shared their expertise and knowledge whenever I had a question. I also enjoyed the communication with the French team as they assisted me on my first day and introduced me to the translation software, routinely used at CCAMLR but new to me.
Overall, it was an excellent opportunity to observe the practices at CCAMLR and to go through the stages of the translation project. Facing the translation challenges during this time, I had to refer back to theory and the translation practices emphasised during my University classes. A few theoretical aspects and approaches started to make more sense once I observed and practiced them in a real working environment. It was a pleasure working in such a professional environment.
Moru Yao (Momo)
As a master student of Shanghai Ocean University, I'm very excited to undertake a CCAMLR internship. My main objective is to enhance my capacity through the development of high quality professional, technical, logistical and administrative skills. I will be learning best-practice fishery monitoring and compliance initiatives in multilateral organisations that manage marine resources.
I see this internship as a bridge between my current studies and the social sciences. It will help me to develop greater knowledge and a better understanding of the protection of Antarctic marine resources. My major is Physical Oceanography, with three months' work, during which I will have the chance to put theory into the practice. I will get a deep understanding of the main duties of fishery monitoring and management and some other professional skills required.
Although I have only worked in CCAMLR for less than one week now, I really feel that CCAMLR is a big family. The people here not only provided me with guidance, but are also concerned about my life here. Above all, this internship experience will strengthen my ability in all aspects. I'm sure these will be valuable assets in my future work and social interactions.
Myoin Chang
I'm from the Republic of Korea, where I have been working as Deputy Director at the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries since 2004. This Ministry takes charge of managing maritime and fisheries affairs and developing marine resources. My main role was devising strategy for Korean fisheries development.
I am currently undertaking one year of training, which is sponsored by the Korean government long-term fellowship. My placement at the CCAMLR Secretariat will be until December 2014.
I aim to develop a detailed understanding of CCAMLR as a basis for creating a future strategy to strengthen Korea's engagement in CCAMLR. I also hope to gain a greater understanding of decision making processes in an International Organisation.
I'm originally from the US, where I completed a bachelor's degree in Environmental Studies and Sociology in 2012. I have worked with a variety of ocean organisations; managing events, coordinating interns, researching fisheries, and educating kids on coral reef ecology.
Before beginning postgraduate studies in September in Marine Affairs at the University of Washington in Seattle, I'm very excited to be coordinating a video project for CCAMLR. The online video will highlight the activities of CCAMLR and its staff, providing an exciting and educational look into the organisation.
I hope to combine my communication and outreach skills with my interest in marine policy to create a successful film. I'm greatly looking forward to working with CCAMLR, learning more about Antarctic policy and ecology, and expanding my project coordination experience!
Coco Cullen-Knox
After completing a Bachelor of Applied Science in Conservation Management and Integrated Resource Management at the University of Queensland in 2011, I worked as an environmental consultant for about 1.5 years followed by six months in Fiji developing a research project on reef health.
The experience and knowledge I gained post university reinforced my passion for environmental management and transforming science into effective management outcomes. This motivated me to further my education and I began my honours research early 2014 with the Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies (IMAS). This research focuses on the role social license has in influencing political decisions regarding the use of marine resources.
Interning with CCAMLR during the annual meetings, I hope to develop a comprehensive understanding of the process of international collaboration for the management of marine living resources under increasing anthropological pressures. I'm particularly interested in how information is transformed into management outcomes and the regulation and enforcement of conservation measures.
Jodi Gustafson
Growing up in Canada's Yukon Territory, the sub-Arctic instilled within me a passion for polar regions and wildlife that I have not been able to shake. This passion has fuelled several environmental outreach initiatives, such as the creation of my first documentary about climate change in Canada's Arctic, for which I received the Globe Foundation's 2014 Canadian Youth Environmental Leadership Award.
I recently completed my BSc degree specialising in Arctic and Antarctic environments after completing study at six universities worldwide. During my time studying at Gateway Antarctica in Christchurch, I have had the fortune of interning with the COMNAP Secretariat, which has provided significant exposure into international cooperation efforts between national science programs in Antarctica.
I am thrilled to now be at the CCAMLR Secretariat for four weeks to assist with rapporteuring of the SCIC meeting and observe first-hand the nexus between science, resource management and international policy formation.
Hannah Millward-Hopkins
I have been fascinated with the ocean and its inhabitants since I was knee high. I pursued this interest throughout my education and completed a Bsc in Marine Biology at The University of Newcastle, UK, in 2009 and a Master's degree in Marine Environmental Management at the University of York, UK, in 2012. Throughout these degrees I developed a keen interest in marine conservation, particularly in relation to sustainable fisheries management. I left my native UK in 2013 and I'm currently travelling Australia gaining work experience with various organisations.
During my time at CCAMLR I am updating and uploading current and historical conservation measures and resolutions to the website. This will allow anyone easy access to this vital information and will enable them to see how CCAMLR's management methods have developed over time. I will also help develop tools to enable intuitive navigation and browsing of this data. In addition to this I am undertaking some contract work as a part-time data assistant, helping to process the wide range of data CCAMLR receives.
I hope to learn more about CCAMLR's management methods and the policies they employ to successfully regulate such an important marine ecosystem. In time I hope this experience will enable me to gain full-time employment in the marine sector so I can stop making coffee for a living!

Telco Industry's 'Red Tape' Burden Unfair
The telecommunications industry has never been as politicised as it is in 2007.
As a result of the ongoing fight between the Federal Government and Telstra over broadband regulation, there are few of Telstra's business decisions that aren't immediately pounced upon by politicians trying to gather potential votes.
One new target in this seemingly eternal stoush is Telstra's migration of its rural customers off its CDMA mobile telephone network, and onto the highly publicised Next G service.
Next G was launched in November 2005, and provides customers with a far superior service than the ageing CDMA network due to be switched off in January next year.
But doing so isn't that simple.
Communications Minister Helen Coonan and the Attorney General Philip Ruddock have argued that Telstra should be prevented from making the switch until the Next G network provides at least the equivalent coverage of the existing CDMA network.
The Government has imposed an additional licence condition upon Telstra to that effect.
However, Telstra argues that that level of coverage will be achieved later this month and therefore the new licence condition is redundant.
With so many marginal seats in rural areas, that the Federal Government would be paying attention to a new mobile network in the bush is not surprising. But, by imposing a new condition on Telstra's CDMA licence, it indicates a willingness to intervene opportunistically in the affairs of a private sector company for political gain.
The Government has preached at length about the need to cut 'red tape', but its continued regulation-making demonstrates that it is merely rhetoric.
The telecommunications industry has one of the highest regulatory burdens in the Australian economy. The pages of legislation governing the sector has grown from 1,600 ten years ago to over 10,000 today.
For Telstra, this constitutes nearly 500 regulatory reports to government agencies a year. The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission, which manages much of this regulation, has itself doubled in size since 1999.
Regulation diverts firms away from productive activity. And the telecommunications industry is awash with regulatory affairs managers, communications and policy directors, consultants and lobbyists.
There are few sectors of the economy that require more innovation and flexibility than the technology sector. But instead, the future of Australian telecommunications services is vested with governments and regulators, who operate at glacial speed.
When they do finally act, they frequently misunderstand the nature of what they are regulating, or act only to please political constituencies, or even act just to justify their own existence.
It is hard enough for the industry to keep up with Australian consumers' insatiable demand for new technologies. So when it is deeply intertwined with politics and regulation, it is doubly unable keep up.
But taking a long-term view, this episode illustrates a major policy issue that the telecommunications sector has to grapple with.
The radio-frequency spectrum licences that are necessary to operate a mobile network like Next G or CDMA are ultimately controlled by regulators and the Government, not the firms which actually operate the networks.
This government control of spectrum licences leaves telecommunications firms susceptible to political manipulation. Spectrum management has, since its last major reform in 1992, been overhauled to allow for greater flexibility and 'ownership' of spectrum licences by firms.
As Senator Coonan has bluntly shown, these licences still have a long way to go until they can be free of arbitrary government intervention.
Governments need only to follow due process – Telstra alleges that the Communications Minister in this case has not – and they can alter the terms of those licences at their whim.
Licence holders are exposed to the political calculations of the government of the day.
Ideally, firms which held spectrum licences would be able to use those licences as they saw fit and make business decisions about how best to serve their customers.
But in an election year, and in an industry that is highly politicised and highly regulated, that ideal is still far away.

Let these greatness quotes answer the question of, what is great. Is it material possessions, is it fame, is it job position, is it helping others, is it self first. What does greatness mean, are you destined for greatness. Consider the quotes and thoughts of others on this.
As human beings it is our general belief that successful people are special and that they are born destined for greatness. It is just too difficult to comprehend that the main things that separates those people from us is not anything particularly special; it is simply their mindset and habits. P. G.Manifold, Perseverance Is A Skill and You Need To Master It!


1. I am not smart enough to go on this show.
If we admitted it to ourselves we know that some of us struggle to remember to buy milk and (sometimes) still count on our fingers. It boggles our tiny little minds that these super smart beings exist, and makes us feel a little bad that we'll never get to sit in the black chair. But on those rare occasions when we get one right it makes us incredibly smug.
2. How are these people so smart?
Where do they find these people! We think there may well be a conspiracy that the contestants are mutants or fed the answers somehow. But in reality, we are in awe at the book smarts of these geniuses.
3. All they win is a glass bowl. I'd rather go on Deal or No Deal.
There is something quintessentially British about the fact that the main prize is a hand-cut glass bowl and the knowledge that you've jolly well done your best.
We can't help but sing and whistle along to the theme. It always gets stuck in our heads.
5. Is it the same chair?
Mastermind has been going for years. Is it the same chair? Why is it black? Have they reupholstered it or replaced it? Does it adjust for heights of the contestants? So. Many. Questions.
6. John Humphrys is really scary.
John Humphrys reminds us of the schoolteacher we really wanted to impress, and when we got an answer wrong we could see the disappointment in their eyes. Sorry John.
7. Why am I watching a show where people sit in a chair and answer questions?
It really is the easiest concept in game show history. Why is something so simple so addictive?
8. I really need to stop shouting the wrong answer at the TV.
Sometimes it is best to watch the show alone so if you blurt out any old answer, there is no one there to judge you.
We're not sure writing answers on your hand or arms would work as a camera is on you at all times. How else could we cheat our way in to the Grand Final?
10. What would my specialist subject be?

Lawrence Bradley(Photo: Submitted)
A Harrisburg man is accused of being involved in a burglary and shooting last month.
Lawrence Bradley, 41, allegedly told a witness he was going to York to commit a robbery.
He has not been arrested yet as of Friday.
Lawrence Anthony Bradley, also known as "Crazy Horse," 41, of 520 S. 20th St., faces charges of aggravated assault, burglary, criminal trespass, prohibited possession of a firearm, and reckless endangerment, among other charges.
He has not been arrested on the charges as of Friday, according to online court records.
York City Police say Bradley was involved in the shooting of Ernest Crosby, 25, on Dec. 8 while Crosby was at a home in the 800 block of West Poplar Street.
Charges: Police were sent to the home at about 1:15 a.m. While inside the home, police said there were about 20 bullet casings from at least two different guns on the first floor. Additionally, bullet holes were seen "scattered" throughout the floor and staircase leading up to the second floor.
"The majority of the first-floor living space was in complete disarray with bullet damage," the detective wrote in charging documents.
Police: 2 York City shooting victims expected to survive
Crosby was being treated at York Hospital for a gunshot wound to his foot when police spoke to him later that morning. According to police, Crosby was coming down the stairs that morning when he encountered a black male holding two guns on the first floor, documents state.
Crosby grabbed the man, and was shot in the foot, according to police.
A struggled ensued, and Crosby managed to take one of the man's guns, which he used to shoot the man, according to police. Crosby also told police another suspect inside the home fired at Crosby as he ran upstairs, according to police.
Another resident of the home reported that $230 was missing from the first floor after the incident, according to police.
Police found a car key on Bradley belonging to his aunt's car, charging documents allege. His aunt told police she lent Bradley her car Dec. 7, but did not know he was going to York, police said.
A witness told police that Bradley said he was going to York for a robbery, police said. Bradley also was convicted of aggravated assault in 1998, police said, which prohibits him from having a firearm.
The Pennsylvania Board of Probation and Parole is searching for Bradley. He is described as 5-feet-10, with brown hair and brown eyes and a scar on his right arm.
He is known to frequent Harrisburg, York City and Carlisle, according to a release from Pennsylvania Crime Stoppers.
Anyone with information is asked to call Pennsylvania Crime Stoppers at 1-800-4PA-TIPS. All callers are anonymous and could be eligible for a cash reward.

Epic Narrative
Jesus sends the Holy Spirit to empower his disciples as they carry the good news of his kingdom to the nations of the world.
Before Jesus was taken into heaven where He was enthroned to share God's rule over the world, He instructed His followers to be a witness for Him. The book of Acts details their witness.
Read Scripture Part I
Holy Spirit Power
Jesus' followers received the Holy Spirit on Pentecost and became filled and equipped to spread the good news that would restore God's kingdom over the world. Through persecution, the believers were scattered. They continued to preach, and the church at Antioch was born.
It grew into the first multiethnic, international church from which missionaries were sent throughout the world to preach about Jesus, the messianic Messiah and risen king of all nations. Paul even continued to preach despite imprisonment and wrote important letters to the churches.
The Spirit came upon Jesus' new covenant family with wind and flames, symbols of God's presence living in the temple, and filled and empowered them to speak in all languages.
Scattering of Believers
Jewish leaders persecuted believers and murdered Stephen. As a result, Jesus' followers fled from Jerusalem, scattered to other cities and continued preaching despite ongoing persecution.
Antioch Church
After persecution scattered Jesus' followers throughout the modern world, the first multiethnic, international church is formed at Antioch, and Jesus' followers become known as Christians.
Church on Mission
The Spirit prompts the Antioch church to send missionaries to other lands and invites everyone to follow Jesus as the multiethnic family of God grows.
Paul Preaches in Prison
Paul is placed on house arrest in Rome where he teaches and writes letters to the Churches, summarizing the purpose of the book of Acts.
Read Scripture Part II
Keep Reading Acts
Continue Your Learning Journey
Humanity is sinful, but the Book of Romans explains how faith in Jesus justifies Jews and gentiles and creates a multiethnic covenant family that's unified through love and forgiveness.
Bringing the Gospel to the Greeks
Andy Patton The first half of Acts tells the story of the early years of the Christian movement from the point of view of a variety of characters. The second half, however, follows the missionary journeys of one remarkable person, Paul. Luke, a companion of Paul's on many of his travels... Keep Reading

Much work still needed on Wales Bill
Posted by Mark Williams | Updated 2016-09-13
Mark Williams, Member of Parliament for Ceredigion and Leader of the Welsh Liberal Democrats, has welcomed the passing of the Wales Bill through the House of Commons, but has emphasised the missed opportunity to create a lasting and comprehensive settlement for Wales.
Mark said "My Liberal Democrat colleagues and I have long called for further devolution on the principle of Wales being able to govern its own affairs, and I welcome the move in the right direction that this Bill signifies.
"This Bill is a far sight better than the draft Bill that we saw last year, which was complex with a large list of reservations to Westminster, and had the potential to cause a number of major constitutional problems. Yet that does not mean this updated Wales Bill is perfect. For something which was meant to provide a lasting settlement for Wales, it has failed to tackle issues such as youth justice, rail franchising, and the need for a distinct legal Welsh jurisdiction as more laws are made here in Wales.
"This Bill simply does not go far enough, and has left many questions unanswered which we will need to revisit as time goes on. I was disappointed that amendments put down during the report stage which would have seen Air Passenger Duty and rail franchising devolved, and would have gone some way to improve this Bill, were not accepted by the Government.
"However, despite the missed opportunity that this Bill has been, it is without a doubt a significant step in the right direction, giving greater accountability, greater clarity and a greater say over Welsh affairs to the people of Wales, something which the Welsh Liberal Democrats and I have long been calling for."

As anyone who has ever tried to sell something knows, it isn't about the product. Marketing strategy is so critical to your success when you are developing a new company, that it can't be stressed enough.
Here are some tips you can put into use easily and quickly that will make a huge difference in your bottom line.
That's right, asking for the sale isn't like begging, and it can turn a possible sale into an opportunity to show people what you can do for them.
This is perhaps the least used technique, but it is extremely effective.
Studies show that many individuals who walk away from making a purchase do so because they weren't actually asked to buy.
If you feel someone is interested but hasn't made the final move, ask her what you can do to persuade her. You won't regret it.
Have you ever walked into a department store and been greeted by someone who wants to sell you a particular item?
Your instant reaction is to say, "no thanks," and walk away. Your potential customers feel the same way if you try to sell them on your product.
Instead of constantly pushing your products on them, present yourself as a happy, successful businessperson.
Talk about how much you enjoy your lifestyle, your work and your increased time with your family.
Believe me, if they see you as a happy, successful individual, they will be beating down your door to find out how they can achieve the same situation.
You don't need to sell the product, sell yourself.
Some of the best intentioned new business owners fall flat on their faces because they don't know how to allot their time properly.
You need to be doing things that directly generate income.
If you are not pursuing leads through marketing, face to face time, social networking and follow up, you are losing money.
Set your goals and then make time to pursue them each and every work day. They don't have to be complex goals, they can be as simple as posting to your blog three times a week and writing two new articles each week; but, you must make them sacrosanct, or you will quickly let them fall by the wayside.
