Fewer Teachers Passed In Far-West Through TSC
Jan 15, Kathmandu: The Teachers Service Commission(TSC) is publishing the results of last year's advertisement for teacher selection.
It has recommended the appointment of secondary-level and lower secondary-level teachers. Secondary-level teachers recommended by the commission have been appointed except for exceptions. While the Education and Human Resource Development Center has given instructions to the relevant agencies for the appointment of lower secondary-level teachers. Thus, the results of the written examination at the primary level are being published.
Fewer candidates have passed the written examination for the post of primary level third grade teacher of the Commission than required. The commission advertised for more than 13,000 vacant posts at the provincial level on December 28, 2021. According to the results of the open competitive written (general and subject) examination conducted by the Commission on April 1 and 27 June 2019, fewer candidates have been selected for interviews in 6 districts.
According to the results released by the commission, 102 candidates have been selected for the interview out of 132 applicants in Darchula. Similarly, in Baitadi, out of 204 candidates, 203 have been selected for the interview.
Similarly, in Bajhang, out of 96 applicants, 77 have been selected for the interview. Similarly, in Dadelghura, out of 95 teachers requested, only 85 have been recommended for interview.
Similarly, in Kailali, 81 out of 74 requests, 80 out of 76 requests in Kanchanpur, and 73 requests in Bajura, 65 people have been recommended for interviews. Similarly, out of 137 teachers requested in the Achham district, 135 have been selected for the interview. Similarly, only 134 people have been selected out of 148 people requested in Doti.
Krishna Bohra, Branch Officer of the Directorate of Education Development, Dipayal, said that due to the introduction of the system of two-stage examination by the Teachers Service Commission, the students passed less than the demanded quota. He said, "Earlier, the commission used to conduct a one-hundred-point subject test at one stage.
Those who passed the test were allowed to participate in the interview." But by changing that arrangement, there is a provision to participate in the second stage examination only after passing the objective test of 100 marks in the first stage. The commission advertised for 1,552 posts for the secondary level and only 1,822 people were recommended for appointment. 370 fewer teachers than required were recommended.
Similarly, the Commission has recommended the appointment of 105 teachers less than the requirement for the appointment from the examination conducted for the 2 thousand 598 vacant posts of lower secondary level third-grade teachers. 88 thousand 519 candidates had joined the general examination for the said post.
According to the Commission, teachers could not be successful in the promotion through internal competition as per the demand. There are very few teachers who score 100 marks while conducting the 175 full marks exam. The government report has pointed out that there are still 53 thousand 158 teachers at different levels.
In the report published by the team led by Pushparaman Wagh, a member of the National Planning Commission, it has recommended the government arrange 24,384 subject teachers at the secondary level and 53,158 additional teachers at the secondary level. The report also suggested that 6,430 secondary schools should be managed by mathematics, science, and English subject teachers.
But after a long time, as the candidates failed to pass as requested in the advertisement made by the Commission, in the study conducted by the Policy Research Institute at the request of the Commission, experts have pointed out that public schools are suffering from teacher shortage due to the shortcomings in the Faculty of Education.

Ariane 5 rocket deploys satellites for Intelsat and B-SAT

Recovering from a last-second launch abort earlier this month, an Ariane 5 rocket climbed into space Friday night from Europe's spaceport in French Guiana to place two U.S.-built communications satellites in orbit for Intelsat and Broadcasting Satellite System Corp. of Japan.
After a nine-minute delay, the Ariane 5 rocket took off with 2.9 million pounds of thrust at 2156 GMT (5:56 p.m. EDT; 6:56 p.m. French Guiana time) Friday, heading toward the east over the Atlantic Ocean with the Intelsat 37e and BSAT 4a communications satellites.
Two side-mounted solid rocket boosters burned out and jettisoned around two-and-a-half minutes into the flight, and the Ariane 5's Swiss-made payload shroud fell away about a minute later.
The Ariane 5's Vulcain 2 main engine consumed around 700 pounds, or 320 kilograms, of super-cold liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen propellants per second until shutting down at the nine-minute point of the flight.
A smaller HM7B engine ignited on the Ariane 5's second stage to send the Intelsat 37e and BSAT 4a spacecraft into an elliptical geostationary transfer orbit, aiming to guide the satellites into an orbit with a high point of 22,186 miles, a targeted low point of 155 miles and an inclination of 6 degrees.
A member of the Ariane launch team confirmed the rocket reached a near-perfect orbit, and Intelsat 37e and BSAT 4a separated from the launcher at approximately Plus+29 minutes and Plus+47 minutes, respectively.
Arianespace declared the flight a success, extending the Ariane 5's streak of consecutive successful launches to 81 in a row, a record dating back to 2003. Friday night's mission marked the fifth Ariane 5 launch of the year, and the 95th Ariane 5 flight overall.
"Arianespace is proud to share this fifth successful Ariane 5 launch of the year, its 81st in a row, with our American and Japanese customers," said Stephane Israel, CEO of Arianespace.
The mission's first launch attempt Sept. 5 was aborted after ignition of the Vulcain main engine, and before the irreversible ignition of the boosters, when a computer discovered a problem with an electrical component on one of the side-mounted motors.
Ground teams rolled the Ariane 5 back to its vertical assembly building at the spaceport to replace the suspect part and reattach fueling arms to the rocket's second stage, which retracted as designed in the final seconds of the halted countdown.
Two U.S.-built satellites are bolted on top of the Ariane 5 rocket.
The 14,193-pound Intelsat 37e satellite, occupying the upper position in the Ariane 5's dual-payload stack, will beam broadband, wireless communications, television and government services across the Americas, the Atlantic Ocean, Europe and the Middle East from a perch in geostationary orbit at 18 degrees west longitude. Made by Boeing in El Segundo, California, Intelsat 37e was the fifth new-generation Epic-series satellite launched for Intelsat.

"Intelsat 37e includes new innovations that further our performance goals," said Stephen Spengler, Intelsat's CEO. "The Intelsat 37e satellite features power-sharing technology to optimize performance for specific applications and regions. This satellite also includes steerable beams to support high-performance mobility and government applications in Africa, Europe and the Americas."
Designed for a lifetime of at least 15 years, Intelsat 37e is the most capable Intelsat satellite ever launched. The new satellite will replace Intelsat 901 launched aboard an Ariane 4 rocket in June 2001.
"Intelsat 37e is also the first high-throughput satellite to offer full beam interconnectivity between C, Ku and Ka-band beams," Spengler said. "This unique feature, enabled by the digital payload, underscores the flexibility and high performance our customers have come to expect from the Intelsat Epic fleet."
Companies such as Speedcast, Omni-Access, Algeria Telecom and TIM Brazil will be among the first customers to deploy services on Intelsat 37e, Intelsat said in a statement, supporting 3G and 4G wireless networks and broadband services on commercial ships.
A Sylda adapter was discarded from the Ariane 5 a few minutes after separation of Intelsat 37e, revealing the 7,760-pound BSAT 4a spacecraft, the mission's other satellite passenger.
BSAT 4a will provide HD, 4K and 8K Ultra HD television broadcasts over Japan for Broadcasting Satellite System Corp. The satellite was built by Space Systems/Loral in Palo Alto, California, and carries 24 Ku-band transponders.

"BSAT 4a is the world's first 8K satellite," said Lincoln Day, senior executive director for the BSAT 4a program at SSL. "It will provide advanced television services for Japan, and it will provide 4K and 8K satellite television for the 2020 Olympics that happen in Tokyo, as well as the Paralympics that happen in that summer."
SSL will hand over control of the BSAT 4a satellite to its Japanese owners in October. BSAT 4a will replace the BSAT 3a satellite launched by an Ariane 5 rocket in 2007.
Both payloads launched Friday will fire on-board thrusters to reach their final circular orbits more than 22,000 miles over the equator. The orbit-raising burns will take around two weeks, then the satellites will complete their final solar array and antenna deployments and functional testing before starting commercial service.
Intelsat 37e will operate from a perch in geostationary orbit at 18 degrees west longitude, while BSAT 4a is heading for a geostationary slot at 110 degrees east longitude.
Arianespace's next launch is scheduled for Nov. 7, when a lightweight Vega rocket will send up a European-built reconnaissance satellite for the Moroccan government.
The next Ariane 5 launch is on track for Dec. 12 with four European Galileo navigation satellites.

Study Cautions Runners to Limit Their Water Intake
http://www.nytimes.com/2005/04/14/health/14water.html
[An editorial follows.]
By [1]GINA KOLATA
After years of telling athletes to drink as much liquid as possible
to avoid dehydration, some doctors are now saying that drinking too
much during intense exercise poses a far greater health risk.
An increasing number of athletes - marathon runners, triathletes and
even hikers in the Grand Canyon - are severely diluting their blood by
drinking too much water or too many sports drinks, with some falling
gravely ill and even dying, the doctors say.
New research on runners in the Boston Marathon, published today in The
New England Journal of Medicine, confirms the problem and shows how
serious it is.
The research involved 488 runners in the 2002 marathon. The runners
gave blood samples before and after the race. While most were fine, 13
percent of them - or 62 - drank so much that they had hyponatremia, or
abnormally low blood sodium levels. Three had levels so low that they
were in danger of dying.
The runners who developed the problem tended to be slower, taking more
than four hours to finish the course. That gave them plenty of time to
drink copious amounts of liquid. And drink they did, an average of
three liters, or about 13 cups of water or of a sports drink, so much
that they actually gained weight during the race.
The risks to athletes from drinking too much liquid have worried
doctors and race directors for several years. As more slow runners
entered long races, doctors began seeing athletes stumbling into
medical tents, nauseated, groggy, barely coherent and with their blood
severely diluted. Some died on the spot.
In 2003, U.S.A. Track & Field, the national governing body for track
and field, long-distance running and race walking, changed its
guidelines to warn against the practice.
Marathon doctors say the new study offers the first documentation of
the problem.
"Before this study, we suspected there was a problem," said Dr. Marvin
Adner, the medical director of the Boston Marathon, which is next
Monday. "But this proves it."
Hyponatremia is entirely preventable, Dr. Adner and others said.
During intense exercise the kidneys cannot excrete excess water. As
people keep drinking, the extra water moves into their cells,
including brain cells. The engorged brain cells, with no room to
expand, press against the skull and can compress the brain stem, which
controls vital functions like breathing. The result can be fatal.
But the marathon runners were simply following what has long been the
conventional advice given to athletes: Avoid dehydration at all costs.
"Drink ahead of your thirst," was the mantra.
Doctors and sports drink companies "made dehydration a medical illness
that was to be feared," said Dr. Tim Noakes, a hyponatremia expert at
the University of Cape Town.
"Everyone becomes dehydrated when they race," Dr. Noakes said. "But I
have not found one death in an athlete from dehydration in a
competitive race in the whole history of running. Not one. Not even a
case of illness."
On the other hand, he said, he knows of people who have sickened and
died from drinking too much.
Hyponatremia can be treated, Dr. Noakes said. A small volume of a
highly concentrated salt solution is given intravenously and can save
a patient's life by pulling water out of swollen brain cells.
But, he said, doctors and emergency workers often assume that the
problem is dehydration and give intravenous fluids, sometimes killing
the patient. He and others advise testing the salt concentration of
the athlete's blood before treatment.
For their part, runners can estimate how much they should drink by
weighing themselves before and after long training runs to see how
much they lose - and thus how much water they should replace.
But they can also follow what Dr. Paul D. Thompson calls "a rough rule
of thumb."
Dr. Thompson, a cardiologist at Hartford Hospital in Connecticut and a
marathon runner, advises runners to drink while they are moving.
"If you stop and drink a couple of cups, you are overdoing it," he
Dr. Adner said athletes also should be careful after a race. "Don't
start chugging down water," he said.
Instead, he advised runners to wait until they began to urinate, a
sign the body is no longer retaining water.
The paper's lead author, Dr. Christopher S. D. Almond, of Children's
Hospital, said he first heard of hyponatremia in 2001 when a cyclist
drank so much on a ride from New York to Boston that she had a
seizure. She eventually recovered.
Dr. Almond and his colleagues decided to investigate how prevalent
hyponatremia really was.
Until recently, the condition was all but unheard of because endurance
events like marathons and triathlons were populated almost entirely by
fast athletes who did not have time to drink too much.
"Elite athletes are not drinking much, and they never have," Dr.
Noakes said.
The lead female marathon runner in the Athens Olympics, running in
97-degree heat drank just 30 seconds of the entire race.
In the 2002 Boston Marathon, said Dr. Arthur Siegel, of the Boston
Marathon's medical team and the chief of internal medicine at
Harvard's McLean Hospital in Belmont, Mass., the hyponatremia problem
"hit us like a cannon shot" in 2002.
That year, a 28-year-old woman reached Heartbreak Hill, at Mile 20,
after five hours of running and drinking sports drinks. She struggled
to the top. Feeling terrible and assuming she was dehydrated, she
chugged 16 ounces of the liquid.
"She collapsed within minutes," Dr. Siegel said.
She was later declared brain dead. Her blood sodium level was
dangerously low, at 113 micromoles per liter of blood. (Hyponatremia
starts at sodium levels below 135 micromoles, when brain swelling can
cause confusion and grogginess. Levels below 120 can be fatal.)
No one has died since in the Boston Marathon, but there have been near
misses there, with 7 cases of hyponatremia in 2003 and 11 last year,
and deaths elsewhere, Dr. Siegel said. He added that those were just
the cases among runners who came to medical tents seeking help.
In a letter, also in the journal, doctors describe 14 runners in the
2003 London Marathon with hyponatremia who waited more than four hours
on average before going to a hospital. Some were lucid after the race,
but none remembered completing it.
That sort of delay worries Dr. Siegel. "The bottom line is, it's a
very prevalent problem out there, and crossing the edge from being
dazed and confused to having a seizure is very tricky and can happen
very, very fast," he said.
Boston Marathon directors want to educate runners not to drink so
much, Dr. Siegel said. They also suggest that runners write their
weights on their bibs at the start of the race. If they feel ill, they
could be weighed again. Anyone who gains weight almost certainly has
hyponatremia.
"Instead of waiting until they collapse and then testing their sodium,
maybe we can nip it in the bud," Dr. Siegel said.

Editorial: Brain-Dead From Sports Drinks

Brain-Dead From Sports Drinks
For years now, we've been hearing about the importance of hydration
to avoid heat stroke during prolonged exercise in hot weather. Now, it
turns out, too much hydration can kill you.
A study published today in The New England Journal of Medicine should
give weekend warriors reason to rethink the wisdom of quaffing vast
amounts of water or sports drinks while exercising vigorously - at
least if they are engaging in such endurance tests as a marathon. The
study found that a marathon runner could dangerously dilute the blood
with an overdose of liquids, risking a coma and even death. The
problem has also been detected during long military maneuvers,
extended bike rides and blistering hikes through the desert.
An article by Gina Kolata in The Times today describes the slow and
belated recognition of the problem. A South African expert who has
been warning of the dangers for more than two decades told Ms. Kolata
that he had not found a single case when an athlete had died from
dehydration in a competitive race, but that some people had sickened
and died from drinking too much. Typically, an overdose of water
dilutes their blood and reduces the concentration of sodium. Water
enters the cells, causing them to swell, and engorged brain cells
press into the skull; such pressure can lead to confusion, seizures
and a loss of vital functions.
All too often, friends, coaches or emergency personnel assume that the
problem is dehydration and administer yet more liquid, making the
problem worse. The best treatment is a small volume of a concentrated
salt solution, given intravenously, to increase blood sodium
concentrations. Sports drinks containing electrolytes may not help
much as they are mostly liquid themselves.
In the 2002 Boston Marathon, for example, a 28-year-old woman found
herself exhausted after running for five hours and gulping sports
drinks along the way. Wrongly assuming that she was dehydrated, she
chugged down 16 more ounces of a sports drink. She promptly collapsed
and was later declared brain-dead. The concentration of salt in her
blood was found to be lethally low.
In the study published today, researchers at various
Harvard-affiliated institutions tested 488 of the nearly 15,000
runners who completed the 2002 Boston Marathon. They found that 13
percent had blood with abnormally low sodium levels, and that three
runners were in danger of dying. It was not the elite runners who were
at risk - it was those who had taken four hours or more to finish the
race, allowing plenty of time to imbibe excess fluid.
Sports authorities have already issued warnings and tips to avoid
excessive drinking, and rescue workers in the Grand Canyon now carry
devices to test collapsed hikers for low blood sodium. But the
solution is for overly eager endurance runners and hikers to forget
the old mantra that they should drink-drink-drink. Too much liquid can
be lethal.


The Davis Museum, designed by Rafael Moneo in collaboration with Payette Associates, is a 61,000 square foot cultural facility comprising gallery space, a cinema, museum administration offices, art storage, and support areas. It incorporates beautiful architectural spaces and natural lighting with state-of-the-art environmental control, strict security requirements, and functional "back-of-house" areas.
Scott Payette, as project manager for Payette Associates, was responsible for implementing the design from programming through construction. This included participating in design while working in the Moneo studio, coordinating engineering, security, lighting, overseeing construction administration, and design of the permanent exhibition millwork.
The museum was conceived as a teaching museum for the College's permanent collection, with galleries and facilities for temporary exhibition loans from leading national and international museums. The individual galleries are arranged as a series of adaptable quiet and active spaces which support the viewing of art and the museum experience. The interior space is designed to present a unified view of the encyclopedic collection, allowing near and distant views of works.
Located on the Wellesley campus next to Paul Rudolph's 1961 Jewett Art Center, it was designed to relate contextually to the older building. The Davis Museum, with its exterior plaza and adjoining monumental stairs, creates an extension of the main college quadrangle, and at the same time completes Rudolph's original design concept.


Cars are not merely continually perfected mechanical contrivances; since the 1920s nearly all have been mass-produced to meet a market, so marketing plans and manufacture to meet them have often dominated automobile design.
Hydrogen cars, driven either by a combination of fuel cells and an electric motor, or alternatively, a conventional combustion engine, are widely mooted to replace fossil fuel powered cars in a few decades.
Cars are now equipped with a stunning array of software; from voice recognition and vehicle navigation systems, vehicle tracking system like ESITrack to in-vehicle distributed entertainment systems (DVD/Games), to telematics systems such as GMs Onstar not to mention the control subsystems.
Cable cars are pulled along a rail track by a continuously moving cable running at a constant speed on which individual cars stop and start by releasing and gripping this cable as required.
Cable cars suffered from high infrastructure costs, since a vast and expensive system of cables, pulleys, stationary engines and vault structures between the rails had to be provided.
Cable cars were especially useful in hilly cities, partially explaining their survival in San Francisco, though the most extensive cable system in the U.S. was in Chicago, Illinois, a much flatter city.
Though Japan is a leading nation in car manufacturing, the average Japanese citizen cannot afford the high costs of running a car in a country where parking space is scarce and fuel is very expensive.
Most cars that are designed to run on gasoline are capable of running with 15% ethanol mixed in, and with a small amout of redesign, gasoline-powered vehicles can run on ethanol concentrations as high as 85%.
Due to cost, the majority of battery powered cars have used lead-acid batteries, which are greatly damaged in their recharge capacity if discharged beyond 75% on a regular basis.

A vintage car is commonly defined as a car built between the start of 1919 and the end of 1930.
The car started off in 1919 as still something of a rarity, and ended up in 1930 well on the way towards ubiquity; in fact, automobile production at the end of this period was not matched again until the 1950s.
Car heating was introduced, as was the in-car radio.
Other streetcars are sometimes called trolleys, even though this may be technically incorrect, as for a cable car or a conduit car that drew power from an underground third rail.

This identification may be supported by the fact that only Mysians, Carians, and Lydians were allowed to worship at the temple of Carian Zeus in the country of the Mylasians (Herod.
1.171), based on the tradition that the eponymous figures Car (Carians), Lydus (Lydians), and Mysus (Mysians) were brothers (Herod.
The affinity of the Mysian language or dialect, while almost certainly Indo-European, is not well understood, but may have been akin to Carian and Lydian, or to Phrygian.
Disambiguation is used in order to solve these ambiguities in an automatic way.

Bad news makes its way around the world before good news gets out of bed. There is a great deal of truth to this axiom – any business owner with online reviews can attest. If a customer has a problem with a company, you can expect that negative review almost instantly. Customers who have a positive experience often neglect to leave a review at all. In many cases, they must be coerced to do so.
Your competition is constantly scouring your online reviews to look for weaknesses in your business. You may look up next week and see a commercial from your industry rival directly addressing a problem that a customer had in a review.
Prospects are also checking out your online reviews. 88% of shoppers online will look up your reviews before making a purchase decision. If the first thing they see is negative, you can expect less clickthroughs and conversions.
You may have also heard the axiom that "negative reviews are an opportunity for a business to weed out its weaknesses." This may be true, but that does not mean you have to publicize those weaknesses to the world. Do not mistake the opportunity that a negative review affords you with the negative SEO and customer goodwill your company will experience if you do not properly manage the situation – and fast.
The opportunity that negative reviews bring to your company also has a time limit. If you are looking to improve the experience of an individual customer, you must answer a negative review within a couple of days. However, that negative review has the ability to stay online indefinitely – even if you fix the problem. Keep this in mind as you separate the usefulness of negative reviews from their publicity.
When prospects look at online reviews, they look overwhelmingly at the recent reviews. 44% of people say that a review must have been written within a month to warrant any real consideration. This means that even if you have positive reviews last month, they do not really add to your online reputation this month. If your reviews have become overwhelmingly negative this month, you can expect people to behave as if your company has always been negatively reviewed.
Does your business have the time to constantly monitor online reviews? There are more review sites now than ever, and it can be quite difficult to find all of the comments people write about you online, much less aggregate and analyze them. This is not your core competency. Taking time to properly conduct this process will move your focus away from the customers you have in front of you. As you might guess, this will probably spark more negative reviews.
This is not a cycle you want.
The right online reputation management services can reorganize your online reviews. The right partner will ensure that your business always has its best foot forward. Your business will also perform better in search engines (yes, Google can tell the difference between a positive and negative review).
Understand that traditional advertising does not help in the face of negative reviews. Why not? No matter how effective your ad may be, the majority of online consumers will seek out online reviews after viewing your advertisement. Customers trust reviews far more than ads. Basically, the advertisement is much farther down the sales funnel than the online review. You may pass step one, but you will not pass step two without a reputation review.
Proper online reputation management also future proofs your online reputation. Keep in mind that once a review, positive or negative, is placed online, it is there indefinitely unless the customer takes it down. Think about the prospects that will be searching out your business three months from now. Organize your online reputation today so that they can have a clear path to a great relationship with you.
In short, online reputation management is one of the best investments that you can make in your company. The more time that you let pass without organizing your reviews, the wilder they tend to become. Do not fall behind your competition or ruin your relationship with your target audience – create your online reputation proactively with the right reputation partner.

As the weather is heating up, the Busy Bee activity is cooling down – we will have our last Busy Bee for the year next Sunday 27 November at the Merri Corner Community Garden, corner of Donald and Harrison Street, Brunswick East.
All are welcome. Come down for an hour or so, or a bit longer if you like – we don't expect you to stay all day!
From 12.30pm – 2pm we'll have an end of year BBQ to catch up and spread some early Christmas cheer and we'd love to see you there. Snags and vegetarian options will be provided, please bring a plate of sweet treats or a salad to share.
And from 2pm – 4pm there'll be an afternoon shift to finish off any remaining Busy Bee jobs.
The next Merri Corner Community Garden BUSY BEE is this Saturday 24 September. We'll have two shifts this time, from 10.00am to 1.00pm then 2.30pm to 4.30pm.
There's no rain expected and it will be cloudy and 18 degrees so we'll have ideal conditions for Busy-Bee-ing!
It's the second to last one for the year so we're making a push to get compost moving, prepare communal beds and put some plants in the ground.
If there's time and enough people we might also cut the grass on eastern verge, and level and mulch the area next to the tank.
If you have a spare hour or so please join us.
Next year there'll be less construction so we'll hold busy bees only four times a year (phew!).
Mark your August calendar because the next Busy Bee will be converted into a plot holders meeting.
3. What's happening in the communal beds – sensory garden, other areas?
The meeting will be followed by morning tea, please bring a plate of food to share.
And later on, we'll have a short busy bee down at the garden from 12 noon to 1.00pm.
The next Busy Bee will be on Sunday 26th June from 9.30am – 12.30 pm down at the garden, corner Donald and Harrison Streets, Brunswick East.
There's something for all, and all are welcome – Busy Bees are not just for plotholders. Come down for the whole stint or just pop in for a bit. Busy Bees are not all about hard work, there are plenty of opportunities for other fun stuff – bring some morning tea to share, catch up with your fellow gardeners for a gab about growing and meet some new friends.
A list of jobs for the day will be posted closer to the Busy Bee. Hope to see you there!
We've a busy-bee coming up this Saturday 28th May from 9.30am – 12.30pm at the Merri Corner Community Garden, 194 Donald Street (corner Harrison Street), Brunswick East.
There's something for all, and all are welcome. Come down for the whole stint or just pop in for a bit. Busy Bees are not all about hard work, there are plenty of opportunities for other fun stuff – bring some morning tea to share, catch up with your fellow gardeners for a gab about growing and meet some new friends.
Finishing off garden edging around the fence line – lay boundary sleepers.
We'll also have a discussion session about Composting, Planting Ideas for the Northern Verge and for the Raised Garden Beds at the entrance to the garden at around 10am.
Here's a schedule for Busy Bees for the rest of the year, and we'll have these up on the website/Facebook/noticeboards at the Garden soon, so mark your diaries, green-thumbs!
Hope to see you all down at the garden on Saturday, or some other time soon!
On Saturday 21 May at 12.30pm Moreland City Council will be at the garden for a photo opportunity.
If it is suitable, the photo will potentially be included in the Inside Moreland calendar, distributed to residents in 2012.
The council would like to take a shot of our Merri gardeners working in the garden together – if anyone can come along with a big smile and their best gumboots it would be a great boost to help promote the MCCG next year.
In the event of postponement due to wild weather, we'll post an update here on Friday 20 May.

Greenpeace blockades DENR, declares environment agency 'not open for business'
Press release - May 8, 2017
08 May 2017 Manila, Philippines – Activists from Greenpeace Philippines today blockaded the gates of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) head office in Quezon City to protest the continued control of the Philippine government by big business interests, and as a failure of the current administration to stand by the reforms it is pursuing.
The protest stems from the decision of the Commission on Appointments (CA) to reject Regina Lopez as head of the DENR last week.
"Big businesses, such as the big mining firms Ms. Gina Lopez has confronted during her provisional appointment as DENR Secretary, have gone out of line by rendering our government institutions at their behest. It is deplorable how our politicians have been captured by corporate interests and have chosen to ignore public and national interest because they themselves are in cahoots with the environmental plunderers. Every Filipino deserves the right to live, to breathe clean air, to drink clean water, and to live in a clean and safe environment," said Yeb Saño, Executive Director of Greenpeace Southeast Asia and one of the frontline activists barricading the DENR.
"We need to RESIST: fight head on the corporate influence over government that leads to impunity of polluters and the lack of accountability from our politicians. It is our duty as the people to reclaim government from the clutches of the greedy," Saño added.
Greenpeace locked the gates of the DENR and eight activists, wearing orange jumpsuits and with tube locks connecting their arms, occupied both front gates of the agency, impeding access by visitors to the compound. A long banner that read 'DENR: Not open for Business' was hoisted outside the compound.
They also asked President Rodrigo Duterte why he never firmly stood for Lopez's appointment to the agency.
"Lopez's rejection by the CA is a sign that horse-trading is still the name of the game and that powerful business executives and corrupt government officials still run the show. The DENR should be defended against the interests of corporations that push the country towards environmental bankruptcy. The agency - and indeed our environment- is not for sale nor is it available to the highest bidder," Saño added.
"We will not sit idly and watch them squeeze the blood out of our environment! We will defend DENR!"
The group said that, with the rejection of Lopez, the reforms she introduced should be protected and continued. They are also calling for transparency and accountability on the votes cast by the members of the CA.
Lopez ordered the closure of 23 mining corporations located in watersheds, suspended five others, and cancelled 75 mining contracts[1]. She was also able to dismantle illegal fish pens in Laguna de Bay that threaten small fisher folk in the area. Her actions have angered big mining corporations, prompting at least 27 oppositions to her confirmation filed with the CA.[2]
The CA held the voting in secret, a new rule that was only introduced prior to Lopez's and former Department of Foreign Affairs Secretary Perfecto Yasay's confirmation hearings[3]. CA members who have interests in, and connections to, mining corporations also refused calls to inhibit themselves from the hearings[4]. Greenpeace is challenging both Houses of Congress to scrap midnight provisions and launch investigations into the actions and decisions of their members that now effectively protect public officials having conflicts-of-interest from public scrutiny.

The Early Warning System: an evaluation study
Breukers, Romy (2013) The Early Warning System: an evaluation study.
Abstract: The Early Warning System is introduced by the Lisbon Treaty in 2009 and focuses on the control of subsidiarity. The aim of the Early Warning System is to generate more influence for national parliaments of EU member states in EU decision-making processes. When parliaments think a legislative proposal of the European Commission breaches the principle of subsidiarity, they can accomplish a subsidiarity check and can submit a reasoned opinion within eight weeks after publication. In these eight weeks, it is important to convince other parliaments to submit a reasoned opinion as well. Every member state has 2 votes. If a proposal receives more than 18 votes, a yellow card will be drawn to the Commission and it has to review its legislative proposal. If a proposal receives more than 27 votes, an orange card will be drawn to the Commission and it has to send its proposal and the submitted reasoned opinions to the European Parliament and the European Council. When these institutions agree with the parliaments, the proposal of the Commission will be rejected. This study is commissioned by Pieter Omtzigt, member of the Dutch Parliament and pension rapporteur in the EU on behalf of the Dutch Parliament. 16 February 2012 the Commission published the 'White Paper on pensions', which contains several policy initiatives for 'adequate and sustainable pension systems' in Europe. The Dutch parliament is concerned about the subsidiarity principle of some initiatives in this white paper. On behalf of the Dutch parliament, first Omtzigt will try to convince the Commission to change the draft proposal. If the Commission does not change these initiatives for the final proposal, the Dutch parliament will start a yellow card or orange card procedure after the Commission published the proposal. This study tries to identify factors which influence the support of national parliaments for issuing a yellow or orange card. Based on scientific literature, with the focus on decision-making costs and benefits, seven factors are identified which could influence the frequency of submitting reasoned opinions. Factors related to decision-making costs are the parliamentary system, the size of the parliament, the effective number of parties and polarization. Factors related to benefits are population size, net position and trust. To test the relation between these seven factors and the frequency of submitting reasoned opinions, eight hypotheses are formulated, based on scientific literature and documentation study. The hypotheses reflect the expected relation between the identified factors and the frequency of submitting reasoned opinions. These hypotheses are tested by accomplishing a nonparametric correlation test and crosstabs, between the number of submitted reasoned opinions in 2010 and 2011, and the seven factors. The study shows that polarization, population size and net position have a moderated influence. Parliaments with a high rate of polarization, a high population size and a weak net position will submit reasoned opinions more frequently than parliaments with a low rate of polarization, a low population size and a high net position. The parliamentary system and the number of seats in the parliament have a weak influence on the frequency of submitting reasoned opinions. Parliaments with a bicameral parliamentary system and with a high number of seats submit reasoned opinions more frequently than parliaments with an unicameral system and with a small number of seats. The factors effective parties and trust have no influence on the frequency of submitting reasoned opinions. For practitioners like Pieter Omtzigt, this study is relevant. This study identified seven factors which influence the support of national parliaments for issuing a yellow or orange card. With this new perspective and knowledge, practitioners can use this in case of selecting relevant parliaments for making a coalition with, which increases the chance of drawing a yellow or orange card to the Commission. For scientists this study is relevant as well. This study gives new perspectives about the Early Warning System, including the yellow and orange card procedure, coalition-making processes and decision-making processes. Therefore, this study can be a start of more scientific research.

Democrats want film legend's name removed from airport for bigoted comments
OC Democrats call for John Wayne's name to be removed from airport
SANTA ANA, California -- In the latest move to change place names in light of U.S. racial history, leaders of Orange County's Democratic Party are pushing to drop film legend John Wayne's name, statue and other likenesses from the county's airport because of his racist and bigoted comments.
The Los Angeles Times reported that earlier this week, officials passed an emergency resolution condemning Wayne's "racist and bigoted statements" made in a 1971 interview and are calling on the Orange County Board of Supervisors to drop his name, statue and other likenesses from the international airport.
The resolution asked the board "to restore its original name: Orange County Airport."
"There have been past efforts to get this done and now we're putting our name and our backing into this to make sure there is a name change," said Ada Briceño, chair of the Democratic Party of Orange County.
According to those who crafted the resolution, the effort to oust Wayne, a longtime resident of Orange County who died in 1979, is part of "a national movement to remove white supremacist symbols and names (that are) reshaping American institutions, monuments, businesses, nonprofits, sports leagues and teams."
In a 1971 Playboy magazine interview, Wayne makes bigoted statements against Black people, Native Americans and the LGBTQ community.
"I believe in white supremacy until the blacks are educated to a point of responsibility. I don't believe in giving authority and positions of leadership and judgment to irresponsible people," he said.
Wayne also said that although he didn't condone slavery: "I don't feel guilty about the fact that five or 10 generations ago these people were slaves."
The actor said he felt no remorse in the subjugation of Native Americans.
"I don't feel we did wrong in taking this great country away from them. ... (O)ur so-called stealing of this country from them was just a matter of survival," he said. "There were great numbers of people who needed new land, and the Indians were selfishly trying to keep it for themselves."
Wayne also called movies such as "Easy Rider" and "Midnight Cowboy" perverted, and used a gay slur to refer to the two main characters of the latter film.
Orange County Supervisor Don Wagner told the newspaper that he had just heard about the Democratic resolution and was unaware of its wording or merit.
Wayne lived in neighboring Newport Beach where he passed away in 1979, the same year the Orange County Board of Supervisors changed the name.
AB13's sister station in Los Angeles has reached out to airport officials for comment.

Home > America's Corporal
America's Corporal
James Tanner in War and Peace
James Marten
UnCivil Wars Ser.
Published with the generous support of Amanda and Greg Gregory Family Fund
HISTORY / United States / Civil War Period (1850-1877)
BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Historical
James Tanner may be the most famous person in nineteenth-century America that no one has heard of. During his service in the Union army, he lost the lower third of both his legs and afterward had to reinvent himself. After a brush with fame as the stenographer taking down testimony a few feet away from the dying President Abraham Lincoln in April 1865, Tanner eventually became one of the best-known men in Gilded Age America. He was a highly placed Republican operative, a popular Grand Army of the Republic speaker, an entrepreneur, and a celebrity. He earned fame and at least temporary fortune as "Corporal Tanner," but most Americans would simply have known him as "The Corporal." Yet virtually no one-not even historians of the Civil War and Gilded Age- knows him today.
America's Corporal rectifies this startling gap in our understanding of the decades that followed the Civil War. Drawing on a variety of primary sources including memoirs, lectures, newspapers, pension files, veterans' organization records, poetry, and political cartoons, James Marten brings Tanner's life and character into focus and shows what it meant to be a veteran- especially a disabled veteran-in an era that at first worshipped the saviors of the Union but then found ambiguity in their political power and insistence on collecting ever-larger pensions. This biography serves as an examination of the dynamics of disability, the culture and politics of the Gilded Age, and the aftereffects of the Civil War, including the philosophical and psychological changes that it prompted.
The book explores the sometimes corrupt, often gridlocked, but always entertaining politics of the era, from Tanner's days as tax collector in Brooklyn through his short-lived appointment as commissioner of pensions (one of the biggest jobs in the federal government of the 1880s). Marten provides a vivid case study of a classic Gilded Age entrepreneur who could never make enough money. America's Corporal is a reflection on the creation of celebrity-and of its ultimate failure to preserve the memory of a man who represented so many of the experiences and assumptions of the Gilded Age.
America's Corporal tells the fascinating story of a common soldier who led an uncommon life. James Tanner fought in the Union army as a teenager, lost his legs in combat at Second Bull Run, then pursued a career in politics and veterans' affairs through the Gilded Age and beyond. James Marten does a remarkable job of recovering the details of Tanner's life and evoking the world of late nineteenth-century America. Readers will find equal pleasure and profit in reading this compelling narrative.
—Gary W. Gallagher, author of The Union War and The Confederate War
America's Corporal is a fascinating look at one of the Union army's most remarkable veterans. Following Tanner from his enlistment as an enthusiastic seventeen-year-old, through his debilitating double-amputation, and on to his rise as a prominent figure in veterans' affairs, James Marten chronicles a story at once extraordinary and exceedingly representative of the Civil War generation. Situating Tanner within the worlds of wartime medicine, veteran culture, urban life, and Gilded Age politics, Marten once again offers a beautifully written and compelling portrait of late nineteenth-century America.
—Caroline E. Janney, author of Remembering the Civil War: Reunion and the Limits of Reconciliation
History enthusiasts whose interests have been confined to the Civil War years would do well to read this short book, for it shows how the conflict continued to affect America-and especially her veterans-for decades after the last shot was fired.
—Guy R. Hasegawa, Civil War Monitor
Marten gives us a well-written, quite detailed account of Tanner's life and work. He offers many insights into contemporary society, particularly from the perspective of a man with disabilities, at a time when there was almost no awareness of the problems of the handicapped. . . . A volume in UGP's series "Uncivil Wars," America's Corporal is an excellent book, not only because it's about a man who is today largely forgotten, but because of its look at a the problems of disabled veterans in the post-Civil War era.
—A. A. Nofi, The New York Military Affairs Symposium Review
Drawing on a variety of primary sources, Marten, who is chair of the history department at Marquette University, brings Tanner's life and character into focus and shows what it meant to be a veteran in an era that at first worshipped the saviors of the Union but then found ambiguity in their political power and insistence on collecting ever-larger pensions.
[An] outstanding stud[y] of life after battle. . . . Mr. Marten focuses on James Tanner, a double amputee who vaulted into prominence when he was drafted on the spot to take the testimony of the witnesses to Lincoln's assassination and who eventually became a spokesman for disabled veterans.
—Allen Guelzo, Wall Street Journal
"[Marten] has offered a strong portrayal not only of a man, but also the Gilded Age. . . . The result is a nuanced portrait of a man who was certainly committed to serving the veteran community of his day . . . Consequently, [the author] has helped illuminate late nineteenth-century America."
—T.J. Vaughan, Journal of the Illinois State Historical Society
Elegantly written and well-researched . . . Marten's outstanding biography of this fascinating figure demonstrates that Tanner was more than symbolic of Gilded Age corruption. . . . Understanding that some Americans seemed contemptuous of one of the most iconic generations of American veterans, including an individual who suffered catastrophic injuries during his service, is critical to understanding the challenges facing American veterans of all eras and is an extremely valuable lesson of Marten's study.
—Barbara A. Gannon, Journal of American History
JAMES MARTEN is chair of the Department of History at Marquette University. He is the author of Sing Not War: The Lives of Union and Confederate Veterans in Gilded Age America, Civil War America: Voices from the Home Front, and The Children's Civil War.

This Pinkie Pie kigu was made for a client from my own pattern in 2017, based on the pattern I created for my Queen Chrysalis kigurumi. The cutie marks were appliqued onto the main kigu body. The mane and tail are stuffed with Poly-fil, and had to be handstitched to the body because they were so fluffy.
