People forget about the molecules of life. We take our chemistry for granted until we get sick. Then we hope for a quick fix by using prescription molecules; there are thousands of life-saving medications. We tend to forget that over millennia of evolution, nature adapted the human body to use essential molecules, taken as nutrients.
In the 1950's, psychiatrist Dr. Abram Hoffer and his colleagues wondered how schizophrenics could normalize their brain function. Dr. Hoffer and Dr. Osmond researched the biochemistry of schizophrenia, developed an adrenochrome hypothesis and proposed a restorative treatment using an optimum dose of natural molecules. To test their theory, the doctors did the first double blind experiments in psychiatry, using vitamins B3 (niacin) and C (ascorbic acid). Even difficult patients recovered and went back to work!
Conventional psychiatrists remained skeptical and their patients stayed at home. For over 50 years, Dr. Hoffer continued his life's work - helping thousands of patients live well! He developed the ORTHO-M principle of orthomolecular medicine by applying the life science of biochemistry to the art of psychiatry. He was fascinated to learn that vitamins, trace minerals, amino acids, energy and enzyme co-factors can treat a range of illnesses which involve biochemical imbalances.
Dr. Hoffer wrote Vitamin B3 and Schizophrenia to explain his research methods and share clinical success stories. He treated schizophrenics with daily divided doses: 3,000 mg of vitamin B3 with 3,000 mg. of vitamin C. Many recovered. The book Finding Care for Depression - Mental Episodes & Brain Disorders has a chapter by Dr. Hoffer which explains that the lethal dose of vitamin B3 would be 300,000 mg. There is no lethal dose for vitamin C.
Dr. Hoffer does not claim to have all the answers for schizophrenia, blue moods like depression, anxiety, bipolar manic-depression, attention deficits or autistic spectrum disorders. When his patients get sick, Dr. Abram Hoffer encourages them to take therapeutic molecules. He tailors individual regimens of vital amines with other molecules to moderate their symptoms. His expert knowledge and clinical experience helps many patients recover and live well. For reasons of biochemical individuality, each patient responds best to a customized regimen: different supplements for different individuals, depending on their diagnosis, history, medical condition and genetics.
Since vitamins are part of a nutritious diet, few psychiatrists prescribe vital amines. Family doctors know about supplements because they routinely treat biochemical disorders like diabetes. Type 1 diabetics can maintain normal blood sugar levels as long as they get a daily dose of insulin, eat low-sugar diets and exercise regularly. Diabetics use the principle of restorative biochemistry by taking insulin supplements to keep well.
In his practice as an orthomolecular psychiatrist, Dr. Hoffer does not object to psychiatric medications. He knows how to prescribe low doses of drugs along with optimal supplement regimens. He helps patients restore normal brain function and live well. His patients have fewer problems with negative side effects than patients who take higher doses of powerful medications.
In May 2001, Dr. Hoffer received a standing ovation from 300 people attending a fund raiser for the Canadian Schizophrenia Foundation, in Toronto. He won an award of excellence for helping patients restore their destinies. FOR•OM Friends of Restorative Orthomolecular Medicine may not understand restorative biochemistry as well as Abram Hoffer, but they heard the proof that his ORTHO-M principle works when many happy families clapped to show their appreciation. Well done Dr. Hoffer!

SECOND ECE FUND ACQUIRES "ERLANGEN ARCADEN" SHOPPING CENTER
Another center for the ECE Fund II portfolio: The ECE European Prime Shopping Center Fund II has acquired the Erlangen Arcaden shopping center from a fund managed by Nuveen Real Estate and insurance company CNP Assurances. ECE has operated the Erlangen Arcaden shopping center since July 2019 on behalf of the previous owner and will continue to be responsible for management and leasing of the center in the future as well. As a result, the portfolio of the second ECE fund now comprises ten shopping centers in Germany, Poland, Hungary and Italy with a market value of 1.5 billion euros.
"With the acquisition of the Erlangen Arcaden shopping center, our second fund is now almost completely invested. Thus, we are consistently continuing our investment approach that, in which we focus on dominant shopping centers in excellent locations because in our estimation these will be among the winners of the current structural change in the retail sector", says Dr. Volker Kraft, Managing Director of ECE Real Estate Partners, which manages a portfolio of three funds with around 4.7 billion euros and is Europe's leading institutional fund management company with a focus on shopping centers.
Carl White, Director of Fund Management for Nuveen Real Estate, commented: "This sale represents a strong outcome for our investors, coming at the end of a successful refurbishment and comprehensive re-leasing strategy where we were able to increase net operating income (NOI) and complete our business plan. We look forward to continuing our relationship with ECE as a minority owner of the shopping centre, which has a demonstrable track record of performance as it moves into the next stage of its life cycle."
Erlangen Arcaden, which opened in 2007, has around 90 stores with a total sales area of around 30,000 m² and is located directly next to the train station and the pedestrian zone in downtown Erlangen, a city with a strong economy and 110,000 residents located in the German state of Bavaria. In its catchment area, which has about 400,000 inhabitants, the center has a strong market position and is visited by around 10 million people each year. Its anchor tenants include Saturn, Thalia and tegut. The Erlangen Arcaden shopping center was completely refurbished in 2017/18 and thanks to the addition of new concepts and the expansion of its dining options it offers even greater upside potential.

Q: how to unblock ip on apf I am running APF on my centos (with cpanel) server and I am having trouble unblocking an ip. I have added the ip to allow_hosts.rules made sure it doesnt apear in deny_hosts and restarted APF however as soon as it is restarted the ip remains blocked if i stop apf or flush ip tables, the ip is not blocked. When firewall is running i cnt even ping the ip from my server.
Any advice would be appreciated

A: when you block an IP it gets added to the deny_hosts.rules file. This is a simple text file, edit it and remove the IP. restart APF and you're done.
Alternatively, try apf --remove <host> which does the same thing (but doesn't require restarting APF).
If the IP is not in either of the APF rules files, then its probable something else is adding it to the iptables rules. APF is a wrapper to iptables, it just provides a means of adding new rules in a more user-friendly fashion. It does not 'take control' of the firewall.

Storytelling For Startups—The Key to Reaching Your Prospects' Hearts (and Minds!)
Eden Amitai
Somewhere near the southern tip of France, there is a remarkable cave.
Known as the Chauvet Cave, this paleolithic wonder houses the earliest known examples of a written narrative. With hundreds of images, ranging from literal depictions of animals, to mystical shapes and creatures, the ancient drawings likely served as a way to share experiences, to pass down knowledge from one generation to the next.
Thankfully, we no longer rely on twigs, prehistoric pigments, and cavernous walls to convey messages (though my colleagues might assert that my whiteboard presentations often look like archaic symbols and glyphs). But at core, the principles remain the same; stories work because they create connections beyond the limitations of ourselves, fostering deep empathy with others.
B2B Tech Marketing - More Than Just Facts and Features
But what about when it comes to your SaaS/cloud/tech product?
In tech marketing, I have heard the argument that features and facts should take center stage—leave the feel-good stories to the less technical products out there. If we assume that decisions regarding technical purchasing are solely driven by logic and statistics, this would seem to make sense.
Honestly though, I think this is just one piece of the puzzle; Sure, your features and data should be clearly demonstrated—but stories are just as crucial, and in fact, they can dramatically influence the purchasing decision process on a physiological level. Using fMRI scans, Princeton researcher Uri Hasson and his team found that while telling a story, both the brain of the listener and the speaker displayed similar patterns. According to their research, "Communication is a shared activity resulting in a transfer of information across brains. The findings shown here indicate that during successful communication, speakers' and listeners' brains exhibit joint, temporally coupled, response patterns."
Hearing a good story also produces oxytocin, the hormone primarily responsible for creating feelings of trust and empathy. Says Dr. Paul Zak of the Center for Neuroeconomics Studies, "When our brains encounter a good story, oxytocin is released, causing us to feel empathy. The empathy is what causes us to want to take action. People who have this experience are more likely to act on their emotions: purchasing a product, donating to a charity, etc." This type of reaction is something we want to create, no matter the product.
In my experience as a product marketer at cybersecurity companies and now at anecdotes, I have seen the power of a great narrative, compelling even the most technical of personas to create emotional bonds with products.
Here is how I use elements of storytelling to create messages that resonate:
I talk characters, arcs, and climaxes, not just figures and facts
Remember the last time you sat through a presentation? Remember the charts? The tables? The data plastered across every slide? No, of course not. But if you were to turn those same inanimate (and quite frankly, boring,) elements into a cohesive story, with main characters, a storyline, and conclusion, your audience would remember it in two weeks, and maybe even two months down the road.
Good stories stick; facts and figures rarely do.
I do my best to create experiences, not just ideas
Like a lot of people, I love a good coffee. But there's coffee and then there's Nespresso. Nespresso's story says that drinkers actively contribute to a more sustainable coffee ecosystem each time they drink their joe. Regardless of whether or not it's my preferred brand, they have succeeded in elevating a simple coffee into an experience, one in which their drinkers do good with each cup.
Though I haven't measured it myself, I'm pretty sure this feeling of "doing good" raises that oxytocin, each time reaffirming a commitment to their chosen brand. To this end, I am constantly asking myself how we can create experiences here at anecdotes, to elevate mundane Compliance activities into compelling moments.
I look at our story as our edge in a crowded market
No matter the vertical, as a startup, you've got a lot of competition out there. The right story can help level—even bulldoze—the playing field. Take relative newcomer credit card payment processor, Square; according to Wired.com, Square has "been able to do what most large companies haven't — and not just because they're smaller and more nimble. They're successful because they have an authentic and meaningful story, and they use it to fuel and focus innovation."
Look at your stories as your key to standing out.
I use stories to tap into the irrational decision-maker (who lives in all of us)
No matter how savvy your buyers are, sometimes, they may miscalculate their ability to stay rational and logical. Andrew Dalglish, Director of analytics firm Circle Research asserts that "B2B buyers are influenced by their emotions too. It's essential that any research into the B2B buying process recognizes this or it will give an overly rationalized, superficial picture."
This is all the more true when deciding between two similar products; the product that has succeeded in establishing a deeper level of connection has a better chance of being selected.
"Marketing is no longer about the stuff that you make, but about the stories you tell." – Seth Godin
As product and content marketers at startups, we have a unique task; we are charged with creating messages that inspire our prospects to take a chance on something new. Data alone cannot do this job. It will hit all the intellectual buttons, but on its own, it may not spark a change.
When those same facts and features are intertwined with an evocative narrative, we now have the power to reach not only minds, but hearts as well.
Love Technology, User Psychology, and Marketing. Believe in working hard to play hard. Director of Product Marketing at anecdotes.

Presentation by Mr Sergio Lugaresi, Executive Director of the Asian Development Bank, 10 December 2020
Mr. Sergio Lugaresi, recently appointed Executive Director of the Asian Development Bank, with responsibility also for Italy, met AIICP members on Thursday, December the 10th 2020, to illustrate ADB activities and the possibilities it offers to Italian companies. The Bank was founded in 1966 and has so far supported development projects for about 300 billion, with particular attention to climate change, the environment, agri-food and infrastructures. Its activity is aimed not only at institutions, but also at private companies. Italy, among the founding countries of the ADB, has made relatively little use of its funding and Dr. Lugaresi, who will take up his duties in Manila at the end of the year, wishes to correct this situation by encouraging greater participation of Italian companies, particularly with reference to the Indian market.

GOSPEL – We are a church that stands on the gospel for our mission and message. The good news is that sinners are saved by grace through faith in the finished work of Christ, not through our efforts or works. We receive and depend upon Him alone for our salvation.
GRACE – We believe that all of salvation is undeserved grace – solely a gift of God. We seek to live a life that reflects that grace in all that we do and to minister in a way that extends that grace to a fallen world.
TRUTH – We receive the Bible as the inerrant and God-breathed truth, and we believe it is our highest authority in determining what we believe and how we live.
HOPE – We are people who live with great hope, for this life and the next. Our sure and certain hope is in the power and promises of our heavenly Father.
LOVE – We believe that genuine love for God is expressed in genuine love for people. Our goal is to love God with all our heart, soul, mind and strength, and to love our neighbor as ourselves. Without love, we have nothing and are nothing.

UCL Energy Institute
UCL-Energy Shipping Group Starts 2015 with new Projects
A success with the first round of the Newton Fund will see a collaborative project between Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro and UCL-Energy's shipping group. The project will co-develop a Brazil-centric international trade and shipping database and conduct a study on port and shipping efficiency.
Early 2015 will also see additional international links with the University of the South Pacific. Collaboration between the University of the South Pacific and UCL-Energy's shipping group will advance cooperation on the estimation of shipping activity and the analysis of impact of transport costs on economic development in the region.
Both of these collaborations will help the shipping group understand BRICS and SIDS (Small Island Developing State) shipping mitigation and adaptation policy issues which are so important to the evolving UN (IMO and UNFCCC) debates.
The shipping group's work in the policy fora continues with a new project starting this January for the IMO Secretariat which will deploy a new data source to estimate utilisation and productivity in the global shipping fleet, and a number of recent submissions on the debates on the Monitoring Reporting and Verification policy are under development in the EC.

Brief Histories
The Skeena Salmon Management Committee in the 1950s by Max Cadillac-Molson
By the early 1950s, salmon populations were a major area of concern for the Department of Fisheries. The Nass and Skeena rivers were drawing considerable attention for their salmon runs. In 1954, the Skeena Salmon Management Committee (SSMC) was created for the purpose to review scientific data as well as establish fishing regulations. This was due to the many canneries located in this region. The North Pacific, Arrandale, Sunnyside, Cassiar, and Inverness (etc.) were all located in a very close radius along the Skeena river near Port Edward. The SSMC heavily relied upon estimates of returning salmon species to determine whether fishing regulations were required. The creation of the SSMC echoed a reoccurring theme as the Ministry of Fisheries was becoming increasingly dependent on science to understand nature, which was an extremely controversial topic. In their 1959 annual report, the SSMC estimated that the 1959 Skeena sockeye run would number around 1,000,000, with the majority being five-year-old's. This was classified as an abundant amount of sockeye. In contrast, the SSMC estimated that the 1959 Skeena pink run would only be around 2,200,000, when they previously anticipated to have roughly 4,000,000. Both approximations contributed to the development of fishing regulations.
These regulations of the SSMC were based on two important questions: "What escapements are required to provide the greatest return to the fishery? How may the fish be regulated to provide such escapement?" For example, even though the 1959 Skeena sockeye run was estimated to be abundant, the beginning of the run was very light which forced harsh regulations aimed at protecting the sockeye. These regulations usually consisted of complete fishing closures for many days. By July 26, the SSMC projected that roughly 75,000 sockeyes had been caught; however, 355,000 had escaped up river. At the end of the fishing season, the SSMC had totaled the catch to be 190,000, while escapement approximately 870,000. In 1960, the SSMC released a report that was much worse than 1959's projections. They estimated that the Skeena sockeye run would primarily be made up of four-year old fish numbering around 500,000. There would only be 200,000 five-year old sockeyes returning since 1955 was the worst recorded salmon run in the history of the Skeena. With a combined total of an estimated 700,000 sockeye in 1960, the SSMC expected that these numbers would only be sufficient for escapements. The Skeena pink run was expected to consist of 2,000,000, which was very close to the previous year of 2,200,000. To combat declining expected returns, the SSMC proposed several regulations in 1960. These included restrictions on the size of gillnets; a 72 hour weekly closed period from 6:00pm on Thursday to 6:00pm on Sunday; and further closure periods and restrictions on any type of gillnets after July 17, 1960 (July 17-July 31- 106-hour weekly closures from Wednesday at 8:00am to 6:00pm on Sunday, July 31- August 28- 96-hour weekly closures from 6:00pm on Wednesday to 6:00pm on Sunday, August 28- to end of season- 72-hour weekly closures from 6:00pm on Thursday to 6:00pm on Sunday).
From analyzing these figures, it becomes apparent why the SSMC tactics were heavily scrutinized. They severely restricted the access of fishermen based on what many considered to be questionable evidence. This was largely in part due to the way in which the salmon were tracked. Salmon had extremely complex life cycles as their habitats included rivers, lakes, and oceans. The many different environments of the sockeye meant that survival rates had a critical impact on returning fish levels. Due to the constant disapproval of many fishermen, the SSMC organized a series of meetings that took place in the 1950's and the 1960's. Many aboriginal fishermen and other critics challenged the SSMC by arguing more efforts need to be targeted towards the salmon in their ocean habitat rather than the river. For example, Walter Harris, a Gitxsan hereditary chief from Kispiox, argued that either more government resources needed to be allocated to validate the legitimacy of evidence in which these regulations were based upon or restrictions of fishing times needed to be revoked. Additionally, James Fowler of Kitwanga elaborated further stating that scientists tagging methods were contributing to the poor fishing seasons as it noticeably affected their health.
When contrasting the rise of regulations by the SSMC in the Skeena and Nass area throughout the 1950's and the 1960's with closures of canneries such as the North Pacific and Sunnyside, a correlation seems to be present. Both the North Pacific and Sunnyside canneries ceased operations in 1968. Although there were a variety of factors at play that led to their shut down, it would be naïve to state that the rise in regulations imposed by the SSMC in the 1960's did not play a role. It severely impacted the fishing industry, and made it very difficult for the canneries to turn a profit from canning salmon as there were so many restrictions regarding the catching of fish. These results not only affected the fishing industry, but also the livelihood of first nation fishermen, of which whom many relied upon for survival.

The other night I had the pleasure of dinner with Peter Phillips, the 73-year old who started his career firmly in the 60s as one of the original British Pop artists. He was featured in a documentary from the 60's by Ken Russell, "Pop Goes the Easel", and went to school at the Royal College of Arts along with David Hockney, Allen Jones, R.B. Kitaj, and has been making art ever since. That's over 50 years of art making/doing/seeing/negotiating.
There is something exciting and terrifying when talking to an artist with so much life and art world experience. Mostly because he speaks of the known, the obvious and the things one might enjoy being naive about at the start of one's career.
The topic of conversation ranged, but something that struck me was his comment about artists needing encouragement. The point was not made with great emphasis, but I heard it loud and clear – without encouragement artists can wilt.
The other golden nugget of the evening was considering first hand the fact that if you make your mark as a "Pop" artist, or insert any other movement or style (e.g. collage, performance, video) – one risks being stymied. It wasn't clear to me whether or not Pop really resonated with Peter now – and based on our political conversations he leans so far from consumerism these days that the mere thought of dedicating an art practice to the material seems off. On with the play, off with the Pop?
It made me think of some other established artists such as Kara Walker who won a Catherine T. MacArthur Genius Grant at the tender age of 28. If she had not been so young, would she still be making silhouettes? Or could those silhouettes have dissolved to reveal a little more mess (albeit beautiful mess)? She draws beautifully and one won't see her drawings on display as much, I'm thinking because of the pull of market and editorial expectations.
Peter was very young when he was "discovered" as well. He was 23 at the time of the Ken Russell documentary. I can't imagine what I would be doing today if I had received an Olympic-sized audience for portrait paintings I was doing in college (!?!). It's curious to think about. I'm happy to be making my work now in a slightly marinated state and with a petit audience.

The ranch is not just a guest facility but also maintains a vibrant agricultural operation. This is not a resort experience, instead as a guest you will see and sometimes take part in the day to day activities of a working western ranch. Much of the produce served by the kitchen comes from our vegetable garden and in addition to the larger herd of Angus cattle, the ranch maintains a herd of registered Scottish Highland cattle, well known for their delicious and healthy lean beef. The lamb served at the ranch also comes from ranch sheep. The winters are long in Wyoming and in order to be self-sufficient we grow a considerable amount of hay and grain to feed our horses and cattle.

APC gives conditions for Yahaya Bello's second term ambition
A faction in the Kogi state chapter of the All Progressives Congress has listed conditions upon which the party may consider the embattled governor of the state, Yahaya Bello for a second term in office.
At meeting organized to broker peace between the factions, Senator Alex Kadiri who spoke on behalf of the Kogi state Stakeholders Forum made to demands.
He said the state government should take steps to pay outstanding salaries and pension to workers and pensioners respectively so as to cushion the prolonged hardship they have been experiencing in the state.
Secondly, Dr. Kadiri drew the attention of the governor to the non-implementation of the reports of the two reconciliatory committees led separately by Prince Tony Momoh and General Garba (Rtd), set up by Chief John Odigie Oyegun, the former National Chairman of the party.
ALSO READ: Update: Buhari refuses endorsement of Yahaya Bello
He also reminded the Governor that the resolutions reached during the interactive session with Vice-President Yemi Osibanjo before the last general elections remained unimplemented.
He urged the Governor to take time to read these reports as a basis for further genuine reconciliation.
In a statement issued by the APC spokesperson in the state, Jibrin Abu, governor Yahaya Bello insisted on the for total reconciliation in the Kogi state chapter of the party in order to win the coming gubernatorial election coning in the state.
"He urged both sides in the protracted party dispute to resolve their differences and move forward as one united political party," Abu said.

It was a long, hard haul, but the Lakeside Assistance Group and Canada's Firefighters Without Borders have done it again, putting together their second shipment of second-hand outfits and equipment for donation to fire fighters in 40 Jalisco communities.
A giant yellow shipping container sent out of Vancouver was unloaded in Manzanillo last week. The bounty of supplies was delivered to its final destination at the Chapala's Protección Civil y Bomberos base at dawn on Friday, February 19. The full-to-the-hilt container was opened Sunday morning amid a modest celebration among local firemen and the group of local volunteers behind the project.
Distribution of the goods has been going on throughout the week as fire station chiefs from various towns have arrived to pick up their share.
Lakeside Assistance Group President John Kelly, American Legion Commander Tim Stern and Chapala Deputy Fire Chief Lorenzo Salazar previously visited each locale to determine priority needs.
"Many of the fire stations have little more than manpower to work with," Kelly says. "With no trucks and almost no equipment, some are literally using buckets to put out fires." Helmets, boots, protective suits, air tanks, hoses and assorted rescue gear come as a godsend to the dedicated but hard-strapped bomberos.
The container, donated by ATCO Structures and Logistics, will remain at Protección Civil y Bomberos headquarters for permanent use as a storage unit.
Meanwhile, a third load of Firefighters Without Borders give-aways is ready and waiting for ground transport from Ontario to Chapala.

I am Scott Ludlam - Australian Greens Senator and national comms spokesperson. Ask Me Anything...
Scott Ludlam
is an Australian politician and Greens member of the Australian Senate since July 2008, representing the state of Western Australia.
Hi Redditors. I'm a Western Australian Greens Senator, home-town North Fremantle. I started out as a graphic designer and web developer, landing in the senate via the Jabiluka uranium mine blockade and policy studies at Murdoch uni.
First real challenge on arriving was the Government's announcement of mandatory net filtering; also my first experience of a decentralised, kickass online campaign to bury the idea. No sooner had the filter been pushed underground (where yes, it mutated) we were dealing with the AG's data retention proposal. It hasn't been all bad: I'm a vocal supporter of the NBN and worked hard to keep the wholesale network in public hands and safeguard against future privatisation. I rather hope it gets built.
I am a cities nut and spend a lot of time thinking about urban form and function in the age of housing stress and climate change, and I really enjoyed visiting one of the world's largest solar plants in Spain last December.
I'm up for election this year. Go on. Ask me Anything. Will kick this off at 730pm EST (530 in the west)
Something of me:
Something of the digital comms work:
[Something of an infrequently updated blog](www.fieldnotes.org.au) ...must do something about that. Maybe I'll write up tonight
some proof i'm me
edit ok. that was great fun. provocative questions and some extremely interesting threads... i will go explore reddit some more and do this again if you'll have me. look out for adam bandt in the next couple of weeks, meantime thanks for showing up and treating a reddit n00b with courtesy and curiosity.
til next time.

Hi Scott,
The Greens' policy page on nuclear energy contains the point "Prohibition of the mining and export of thorium."
Could you please explain why exactly this policy exists? While it's definitely not ready for commercial use, thorium energy (particularly LFTR's) has the potential to be a reliable, clean(er) energy source. When you add the possibility that it could be used to dispose of nuclear waste from uranium reactors, it really seems like something the Greens would support.
Thanks for doing this btw, I look forward to hearing your answers.
scott_ludlam124 karma 2013-05-15 09:35:42 UTC
Have thought a lot about this stuff – won't rehearse the various ways in which thorium reactors, although a lot more expensive than uranium fission reactors, appear to have resolved some of the drawbacks (in short – harder to reprocess fuel for weapons, less propensity for exploding in a loss of coolant accident). Turns out its not as simple as that, even on the things thorium advocates pose as advantages.
The reality is a lot more complex – IEER have written one of the best summaries http://ieer.org/wp/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/thorium2009factsheet.pdf
Here's where I landed. The task is to reliably spin a big magnet. That's your job. You could open a thorium mine and take on a several centuries of legacy costs looking after the tailing piles, find some surplus U235 or plutonium to kickstart the fission process, look after the wastes for several hundred years and produce some really expensive electricity. Or you can build a wind turbine and back it up with dispatchable solar thermal. Either way the magnet spins. Nukes get more expensive every year. Solar gets cheaper.

Because thorium might as well be unicorn farts for all its practicality at this stage?

Do you think marijuana should be legalised for medicinal use in Australia? To take it to another level, what is your stance on legalising marijuana as a whole? Would it not be better that the tax revenue generated from legal sales go to government coffers (schools, infrastructure) than criminals?
Also, what is your stance on euthanasia?
Thanks for your time.
As far as medical marijuana goes, I don't see any reason to ignore the medical advice on this issue. It has been a success in other countries. Full legalisation is a more vexed issue but I certainly don't see criminalising people who use drugs as the answer.
Everybody should have the right to a dignified death. With the right safeguards in place including oversight from multiple doctors, voluntary euthanasia is long past due.
ellther100 karma 2013-05-15 08:17:36 UTC
Hi Senator, thanks for the discussion.
I believe the Australian Greens are facing increasing pressure at the ballot box today as a growing number of Australians - particularly STEM professionals, researchers and academics - identify the Greens as "the anti-science party".
What do you think about that?
Part of that is due to silly anti-biotechnology policies such as "ban genetic engineering of animals" without qualification (of course in medicine and life sciences genetically engineered animals such as knockout mice are used everywhere every day) as well as Bob Brown's support of the Anti-Vaccination Network (recorded in hansard!), but a large part of that is also due to the party's fervent opposition to nuclear anything - and you are the main public face of this fervor.
Without going into a deep discussion of this issue, suffice to say this fanaticism is all but indefensible to a technically literate, scientifically literate audience.
Statements such as "Without nuclear power stations - there can be no nuclear weapons, no possibility of fuels being stolen to build 'dirty bombs', no possibility of a nuclear power station being hit by a conventional bomb and setting off a nuclear explosion." make you - and the party, more generally - a scientific laughing stock.
What can the Greens do to correct this course and improve their scientific respectability?
PS: I fully agree with and love your work with regards to support for Labor's NBN, standing up against Conroy's "you're either with us or you're with pedophiles" rhetoric on Internet censorship, etc. :)
Nukes is a big thing for me. I tried to set it to video a few years ago (before I got this job) – starting from first principles. So that's here: http://fieldnotes.org.au/2007/04/13/climate-of-hope/
Uranium mining was the first issue that really got to me, and flipped me from former life into this one. Jabiluka made a really big impression – particularly that we won. In 1999 I got to visit Jadugoda, the Indian uranium mining complex in Jharkhand, which is just a horror show. I went on from there. Last year, I spent a couple of days in the area around Fukushima. Happy to take follow up questions on this stuff, but my opposition to this technology is based on a lot of research and fifteen years of fairly direct experience.
What kind of pisses me off is to conflate an anti-nuclear stance with anti-science sentiment. The scientific method does not have a preference for energy sources. Physics and chemistry permits controlled nuclear fission if you're careful enough. It also permits wave energy generators, large-scale solar farms, geothermal energy and all kinds of other stuff.
If some people see us as anti-science that's unfortunate because the Greens party room is easily the most scientifically literate of any of the parties in parliament. We are committed to evidence-based policy and defending it even when it's politically awkward. Some examples of where we have been leading here are around wind turbine syndrome and other psychogenic illnesses where the science is clear but the anecdotes say otherwise. We'll back the science every time - for the last few years we've been the ones going after science + research funding inc. the discoveries need dollars campaign.
We don't support a blanket ban on genetics at all. If you read our policy it's about the precautionary principle. The emerging science of genetics has all sorts of crazy cool possibilities for helping humans when it comes to medicine and feeding ourselves. When these advances are rushed into the environment for commercial reasons, or used unethically in conjunction with IP laws to harass farmers, of course we're concerned. We just want proper transparency and a measured approach because the potential for harm is as great as the potential benefits.
Since he was a medical doctor I'd be surprised if Bob ever expressed support for the anti-vax whackos at the AVN. In any case we are strong supporters of vaccination and support government incentives to get kids vaccinated (we checked the Bob ref. and it was taken wildly out of context; he since cleared it up and hassles us every winter to get flu shots).
and PS thanks for your props on comms and censorship.
hoi. so this has been fun. i am almost out of time but will hang out a bit longer because great questions.

One of my best friends is a member of the Pirate Party, and was prevented from running in the federal election this year because he could not afford it. The current funding system only assists candidates who receive 4% of the popular vote, of which he could not be assured.
Do you think that this disadvantages minor parties and allows candidates like Clive Palmer an unfair advantage?
The Greens strongly fought the increase in fees to run in Australian elections. In February the parliament doubled the fee to $1000 for a lower house seat and $2,000 to run in the senate. It sucks. Lee Rhiannon opposed them for the Greens and moved amendments and the old parties voted them down. Believe me we know a fair bit about the barriers that the incumbents try to throw down in front of newcomers.

The Greens have a policy against patents on genes, but where do you stand on software patents (which are effectively either patents on ideas or patents on math)?
software patents are a disaster - patent trolls running wild like godzilla or that weird turtle balloon with boobs thing.
earwig2057 karma 2013-05-15 07:11:34 UTC
Scott, what are your thoughts on Julian Assange running for Senate and the new Wikileaks party?
Does it not make more sense, for a 'one issue' person to join a different party to adopt their other policies.
We know he is for transparency, but where does he stand on the environment, abortion, healthcare, public transport.
it's great the WikiLeaks party has formed - if it brings focus to government secrecy, war crimes and corporate reach into government.
The old political parties have effectively closed ranks against Julian Assange and his team. More participation in Australia's democracy and parliament, I can only see that as a good thing.
Although the party does not have the policy breadth of the greens, I don't know that it's fair to describe them as single issue (and there's a place for single issues in Parliament anyway IMHO) As to those other issues, yes that's stuff we've been working on for years.

Hi Scott, There are a lot of less politically minded folks on Reddit who would still be interested in what a Greens senator has to say. Could you describe the Greens' policy platform in layman speak, and how it could benefit the average Australian Redditor?
In plain english. Ok. The platform developed 20 years ago from these pillars: Social justice, economic and ecological sustainability, participatory democracy, peace and nonviolence.
What its about for me is avoiding smashing society into the biosphere so hard in the next few decades that we end up pulling the place down around our ears.
Depops_au49 karma 2013-05-15 07:42:25 UTC
The Western Australian 2013 state election saw a 3.5% swing against the Greens. What challenges to you face representing a constituency that is becoming increasingly conservative and sometimes reactionary?
Good damn question. Huge population increases happening in WA at the moment, a lot of people drawn in by the resources boom. However, not sure I agree the place is becoming inherently more conservative - we got Jo Vallentine elected in the mid-1980s, not really a heyday of progressive causes, and have had people in state and/or federal parliament ever since.
Fair question though; 3.5% swing is a big deal for a smaller party and we're doing a lot of thinking and policy work by way of response. For a serious answer i guess, ask me on September 15.
todopickusername40 karma 2013-05-15 07:31:25 UTC
You mentioned housing stress, so I thought I'd ask you about it, and why so little has been done to alleviate it. Why does government seemingly do everything in its power to keep house prices as high as possible? Any why is housing stress so seldomnly ever given any attention, either by policitians or the media?
It seems like scrapping the First Home Buyer's Grant and negative gearing will not only make housing more affordable, it'll also help tremendously with the government's current budget problems...
Successive Governments have taken the idea of housing as a human right and mutated it into housing as just another asset class: then you have a whole industry premised on driving house prices up as rapidly as possible. And it works, so now we have a whole generation priced out of the market, and homelesness on the way up.
As to the attention paid to the issue, look no further than the budget tabled last night - zero. Nothing. Not even the word 'housing' in the budget speech. Actually there is some new funding to study homelessness, so the people facing winter in a doorway or a car will be better analysed for the next couple of years.
We'll be saying a lot more on this stuff in coming weeks...
mahler00437 karma 2013-05-15 07:43:58 UTC
Hi Sen. Ludlam
First, what role do you see online activism having in our political system in the future?
Second, what are your thoughts on the referendum in September (allowing the Federal Government to fund local governments?) Do you support a plebiscite regarding marriage equality?
Finally, how will the Greens work with an Abbot-lead government in the Senate if he is elected in September?
First can we dispense with terms like 'clicktivism' as though online campaigns are worth less than other kinds. I think online activism will play an increasing role in things here, and we're still finding its place. Government is still a black box in a lot of ways (try searching across all budget portfolios - you can't - or find out what arm twisting the AGs department is up to in their closed copyright 'consultations') so it's good to see a movement gathering speed to open the place up.
LG referendum: yes, absolutely. Cth funding happens all the time anyway, the referendum just unkinks an ambiguous high court decision.
Marriage equality plebiscite - nope, not at all. Its a delaying tactic and I've had a gut full of those. Every day it's not legal is embarrassing.

Okay, firstly I want to say that I am a long-term Reddit reader but first time poster. I've signed up so I can comment on this; this isn't a throwaway account or anything. I saw you at what I think was the first Melbourne rally against the internet filter, and I have been following you via social media (in the least creepy way possible) ever since. Thank you for doing this IAmA! I was legitimately excited to see it.
Because I suck at questions (but am avidly reading the others): -What do you personally think are the biggest issues (national and international) facing us today? -What do you think the average person could do to improve the way they participate in Australian politics?
Hoi. Guess what - this is my first post too. Thanks for showing up.
The biggest issue facing us today - I can't go any further than climate change. If we lose that we lose everything else.
Kind of answers part ii of your question too - politics is way too important to just show up and vote every three years: get stuck into what ever matters to you the most.

Hi Scott What do you think about fair reasonable and non discriminatory (FRAND) access to copyrighted material as it would open up our media market to competition on all platforms be it iptv or broadcast tv.
Our copyright laws are obsolete. I hope the rumours about the ALRC inquiry are right – we need a fair use exception, our content providers and unis need safe harbour protection and visually impaired folks need those TPMs to be unlocked. I'm convinced by the Lateral Economics report on copyright – exceptions are a bonus even if all you care about are the economic indicators.
This latest foxtel play over GoT is the best example i can think of right now as to the fundamental borked-ness of relying on existing copyright law to police the dissolving bottlenecks of 20th century distribution networks. winter is coming to the content cabal...

Yes I believe so. Hard to know what the economics of it are though and it's taking a lot longer than people hoped to bring the first deep geothermal pilot plants on. shallow geothermal is going great already.
re. fracking, approach with caution but still not a deal breaker in my view.

How would you say the Greens have changed since you were elected? In which way(s) for better, in which way(s) for worse?
We've changed a bit - there's twice as many of us in there for a start, and that is very, very, very much better. We've got a much larger compliment of amazing staff, got an MP in the lower house (go adam) and we have got things done that I really care about.
And for the worse. Growing pains. Being in balance of power and having the swing vote in both houses means cultural change and interesting creative tensions with crew who have been around for longer and have seen us grow and change our style some. I think as we get bigger we have to be real careful that we don't hollow out the volunteer culture that got us started and is still the most important element of our success.
Still. give me growing pains over shrinking pains any day.

Hi Scott, cheers for doing this! I imagine you won't be able to answer my question as freely as you like (since Aussie hacks journalists are probably all over this), but how would you suggest we fix the biased and uninformative "traditional" media? I think our democracy suffers when most of the population is getting its "facts" from media organisations like News Ltd, which publicly declared in the Australian that they were out to "destroy the Greens".
Ignoring the uninformed complaints about how everything and anything is censorship, what would you suggest we do?
the old indymedia slogan still works for me... don't hate the media, be the media.

I am kind of freaked out by the idea of the big duck. Give me the flock of horses i think, with some trepidation. And a cricket bat.
IIRC you've had an interest in Australia's troop deployment in Afghanistan. What are the biggest problems we'll face in winding that deployment up?
After spending a brief time in Afgh (and campaigning to get the ADF out for years) I'm convinced that only the Afghan people can end the war. foreign troops are a lightning rod for insurgents. The biggest challenge in withdrawal is the quantity of shit over there – huge amounts of equipment and actual excrement. The Tarinkot base is a small city. I've written a bit about my visit here http://fieldnotes.org.au/2012/04/18/afghanistan/
Best thing would be if Parliament got to vote on future troop deployments, with obvious safeguards for urgency etc. Was the first bill i introduced.

My question: are you pro urban density? Context:
Scott you state here that you're a cities nut, which is awesome! I'm a life long Greens voter and have considered membership, but at the local level in Melbourne the party presents as quite anti development which puts me off. Each time a big development is denied approval by Greens councillors I voted for in the inner suburbs it just leads to a hundred bungalows in the outer suburbs, with all the environmental impact that goes with that.

Hi Scott
Do you support ANSTO in the manufacture and use of radiopharmaceuticals which will improve the health of Australians?
And since you oppose their proposal for a nuclear waste dump, what do you think we should do with the waste that we already have?
ANSTO – hmm. after years of working with broken whistleblowers from their isotope plant I have a respectfully different view.
The OPAL reactor itself is patched and leaking, engineers found light water leaking into the heavy water three months after it opened. A series of scandalous incidents and poor worker health and safety standards were the subject of five inquiries one year.
But. Nuclear medicine is an integral part of medical practice in Australia, although it does not have to come from nuclear reactors, with all of the associated health and safety risks. We should follow Canada's lead; they have adopted a policy to source radioisotopes from non-reactor sources from 2016. Cyclotrons. PET, MRI and advanced CT are already reducing reliance on reactor based nuclear medicine procedures.
Re the waste we already have, we've got a proposal afoot for a process based on actual science and actual social license (we pinched the best bits from Obama's blue ribbon commission and the UK process). most important thing is: don't start with the presumption that some remote Aboriginal community has to cop the shit. seriously. If this stuff is not safe in Sutherland, it's not safe out at Muckaty either. Maybe until the industry actually has a waste isolation technology that's proven up, we should keep it under observation pretty close to where it is.

These were inspired by a coworker that brought in these cookies right before Christmas. They kind of remind me of fluffy oreos or a whoopie pie, I don't know if you've every had those fluffy oreos but they are absolutely delicious. This recipe was based of off Taste of Home recipe my coworker found online. I promise if you try these you will never think of oreos the same way again.
You read that title right, we are going to microwave bacon. This is such a great way to have crispy bacon that isn't fatty or greasy!

Now you have an excuse to go out and have dinner with friends and family.
If you want daily reminders for their deal of the day sign up for their mailing list.
Nowadays I like to start my day off with a cup of tea. Most of the time I boil some water and steep the tea. Recently I've been thinking about what tea would be like if I steeped it cold, is it even possible? Well of course I hopped on Google and searched around the web to see what I could do. What did I find you ask? Well I learned that you can brew tea cold!
How do you actually do it? Well according to The New York Times cold brewing tea is a "relatively slow and gentle process, proportions and times aren't critical." Well what does that mean? Simply it means you can put a cup of filtered water, your tea bag or in my case my metal steeper with tea of your choice, and pop it in the fridge over night. When you wake up in the morning you will have a deliciously light tea that will remind you of a white tea.
So I've been going on this whole low to no caffeine thing and of course the best alternative is tea. Now I've been to Teavana before and I've bought tea there too, but wow is it expensive and its hard to buy things in small quantities. While I was cruising around Pittsford, NY after I got my hair done, I realized I didn't have anything for dinner so I decided to stop by my local Wegmans to grab a prepared dinner to munch on at home.
So now you can eat out with friends and family, order a bottle of wine, and give back to a non-profit organization that you can vote for here.
I find myself cooking for one a lot of nights, so why not make it good meal. This dinner is super quick to make which is great when you're tired from a busy day at school or work. I don't know about you, but after a long day the last thing I want to do is spend an hour cooking in front of a hot stove. Here's my 15 minute meal.
Being a Jersey girl at my core, I've always had a special place in my heart for a good diner. With my boyfriend's family based in Connecticut, I've spent a lot of time there. The one diner that has won its place in my heart is Cromwell Diner. They are open 24/7 and a lot of the time are even open on holidays. So if you every find yourself in the Cromwell/Middletown area and need a bite to eat, make your way to this hidden CT gem.
So the one food I cannot get enough of are PF Changs' lettuce wraps. Every time my boyfriend, Alan and I go to PF Changs, we have to get them. I like them so much that i make lettuce wraps at home (find my recipe here). You know what they are doing that makes this girl super happy? They are giving everyone that signs up for their Warrior Rewards online, free lettuce wraps! That's right, FREE lettuce wraps.
So this isn't the healthiest salad but it sure is one of the most delicious. I can eat seven tacos by myself but it only takes a bowl of taco salad to fix my taco craving.
Whipped cream is a staple for most desserts, so why not learn how to make it yourself? It is creamier and more delicious when you make it yourself and depending on your dessert you can flavor it differently.

GRE Subject Test: Biology : Understanding Light Microscopy
Study concepts, example questions & explanations for GRE Subject Test: Biology
All GRE Subject Test: Biology Resources
GRE Subject Test: Biology Help » Lab Techniques » Microscopy » Understanding Light Microscopy
Example Question #1 : Understanding Light Microscopy
To what power would a microscope magnify an object if the 10x low-power objective were in place and the microscope has a standard eyepiece?
The occular, or eye piece, has a magnification power of 10x. If the 10x low-power objective were in place, the magnification would be multiplicative.
Example Question #2 : Lab Techniques
Which term is used to describe the smallest structure that can be seen by a light microscope?
Index of refraction
Resolving power
Optical transmission is the amount of light that passes through a laboratory specimen. It can be used to measure the concentration of components in the specimen. Optotype is the variable-sized type used in testing visual acuity. Visual acuity is a measure of the resolving power of the eye; the smallest type that can be seen at a distance. The index of refraction is defined as the speed of light in a vacuum divided by the speed of light in a medium.
The resolving power of a light microscope is the smallest structure that can be seen, approximately 1 micrometer (a millionth of a meter) by the microscope.
When using a light microscope, the light waves that pass through or bounce off of a specimen are focused and magnified by which of the following?
Fine focus
Occulars
Diaphgram
Light microscopes use lenses that range from 4x to 100x, are made of glass, and focus and magnify light rays.
The diaphragm regulates the amount of light that passes through an object being magnified. The iris controls the diameter of the beam of light entering the lens. The fine focus is used to move the objectives (lenses) to view objects clearly. The occulars are the lenses that one would look into to view the object.

Riverside Housing Association has been a social landlord for over 80 years and has won the Social Landlord of the Year award twice in a row. With such experience and expertise behind them, they know a good roofing product when they see one.
So when four 6-storey purpose built blocks of flats required rooftop refurbishments, Riverside decided to use Metrotile's classic Bond profile, in Charcoal. Prior to the refurbishment, the buildings had a competitor's Lightweight Steel Roofing System that had reached the end of its life. By replacing the profiles with a Metrotile System, Riverside know that the rooftops are guaranteed weatherproof for 40 years, beating our nearest competitor's guarantee by a significant ten-year margin.
instantly rejuvenating the area. Riverside Housing Association will also benefit from the virtually zero maintenance required by the Metrotile roofs as they adorn the top of the Middleton blocks for many, many years to come.
