More Banks Served Libor Subpoenas
Brooke Masters, Patrick Jenkins and Justin Baer, Financial Times
Published 1:57 AM ET Thu, 17 March 2011 Financial Times
Regulators probing alleged manipulation of a key interbank lending rate have focused their demands for information and interviews on five global banks, according to people familiar with the investigation.

UBS, Bank of America , Citigroup and Barclays have received subpoenas from US regulators probing the setting of the London interbank offered rate, or Libor, for US dollars between 2006 and 2008.
Investigators have also demanded information from West LB, although the bank said it had not received a subpoena.
Several witnesses have been interviewed by UK and US regulators and criminal investigators. They are examining whether rates were manipulated immediately before and during the financial crisis. At the time, some commentators complained that Libor rates did not reflect the real market.
The investigation's scope has narrowed in recent months. Last autumn, all 16 members of the committee that helped the British Bankers' Association set the dollar Libor rate during 2006-08 received informal requests for information.
Libor, which measures the rate banks charge each other, is used as a reference for about $350,000 billion in financial products, making it one of the world's most closely watched indices.
Investigating agencies include the US Securities and Exchange Commission, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, the US Department of Justice, the UK Financial Services Authority and the Japanese Financial Supervisory Agency.
UBS disclosed on Tuesday that it had been subpoenaed by three US agencies and also received an information request from Japan. The regulatory agencies and other banks involved declined to comment.
The BBA sets daily Libor rates for short-term borrowing in 10 currencies over 15 periods – ranging from overnight to 12 months. The association surveys banks about the rates at which they believe they can borrow "in a reasonable market".
The top and bottom quartile of reported rates are dropped, with the average of the remainder used for index purposes. During the financial crisis, the US dollar Libor rate for three-month lending surged to 5.72 percent in September 2007 and 4.81 percent in October 2008.
The spread between banks that took part in the daily survey also widened to more than 50 basis points as concerns about counterparty risk and credit quality increased. At the time, the weakest banks came under pressure after revealing they were borrowing at much higher rates, implying a lack of market confidence in the integrity of their operations.

Single-sentence abortion-neutral bill would get justice for babies like Frederick's Nico Watts
2019 Update: Chicagoland murders of pregnant moms to steal their unborn child in 2019 and 1995 and 43 other similar atrocities, including Longmont's Michelle Wilkins who suffered the most atrocious killing ever of a Colorado mother's unborn child. CRTL's single-sentence abortion-neutral fetal crimes bill would help bring justice to the victims.
Many Coloradan's are looking to State Rep. Lori Saine (R-Firestone/Frederick) to introduce an Unborn Victims of Crime Act like the single sentence just below that does not affirm abortion. (Republicans have a bizarre bad habit of affirming abortion in their own unborn victims bills and typically they fear fighting for something as mild as an abortion-neutral unborn victims bill. Please pray that Rep. Saine will not succumb to the pressure to, ironically, defend abortionists in the very bill she introduces to get justice for unborn victims.) Before continuing though, let's remember those twice victimized, the second time our government denied justice for, and even the existence of, these eight Colorado babies...
Frederick 2018: The adulterous husband murdered Shanann Watts, her daughters, and her unborn baby Nico.
Longmont 2015: Michelle Wilkins suffered the most atrocious killing ever of a Colorado mother's unborn child.
Aurora 2012: Ashley Moser's unborn baby is the unrecognized 13th victim in the Aurora murders.
Longmont 2012: Heather Surovik's baby "Calling him a 'fetus' is offensive to our family."
Denver 2011: Lori Gorham's eight-month old baby was killed by a hit-and-run driver.
Grand Junction 2007: Lileigh Lehnen died an hour after she was born. Colorado courts rejected the murder charge but contradicted themselves, not surprising in our abortion-confused world, by upholding other charges including "child abuse leading to death". So, Lileigh was a child but not a person.
Colorado Springs 2003: Leah Gee was murdered while 7 months pregnant with little Jerimiah fighting for life for weeks before dying yet the courts ruled against filing a murder charge for his death.
Colorado Springs 2002: Amanda Hanson was four months pregnant when she was murdered along with her unborn son.
CRTL's Abortion-neutral Unborn Victims of Crime Act: Colorado Right To Life asked a prosecutor to write a single-sentence abortion neutral law that would enable prosecutors to fight for justice in such cases. The resulting law has been introduced in the state legislature year after year. It has passed the House once, but typically is killed by the pro-abortion Democrats and Republican establishment leaders:
"If the commission of any crime in this Title [18 of the Colorado Criminal Code] or Title 42 [Vehicles and Traffic] of the Colorado Revised Statutes is the proximate cause of death or injury to an unborn member of the species Homo sapiens, the respective homicide and assault charges for that death or injury may be brought contemporaneously with the underlying charges."
Here are some historical notes documenting how this fight has unfolded in recent years.

The Colorado 2012 Right To Life Amendment
Nov. 6, 2012 Update: Amendments don't lie. While politicians from all political parties often compromise and misrepresent themselves even on life and death matters, amendments, written on paper, don't reconsider; they don't change their mind; and they don't don't lie. The Colorado Personhood Coalition has filed suit as explained in the following press release in an effort to gain ballot access in 2014 using the signatures we've collected in 2012. Please pray for this effort and that God will help us raise up leaders who have the courage to support personhood. Stealth pro-life candidates, like soldiers scared to death to show their face in a fight, are less an asset that a cowardly drain of resources. So please, as Jesus Christ condemned cowardice and praised courage, pray for boldness for yourself and all those who would protect the innocent!
Colorado Personhood Coalition Files Suit
Sept. 27 , 2012: The Colorado Personhood Coalition has filed suit in Denver today, after an unjust dismissal by the Secretary of State's office.
An unsuccessful lawsuit from Planned Parenthood shortened the petitioning time by about 60 days, giving the Colorado Personhood Coalition fewer petitioning days than any other Colorado ballot initiative. In spite of this, the Personhood Coalition collected over 112,000 signatures, about 30,000 more than signatures collected in 2010.
Other initiatives were also granted a 15 day curing period to make up lost or invalidated signatures, which the Colorado Personhood Coalition was denied. After turning in far more than the number of signatures required for ballot placement, the Secretary of State's office determined that the amendment could not appear on the ballot, discounting over 6,800 registered voters' signatures.
'The Secretary of State's actions unconstitutionally deprived us of our fundamental right under the State and Federal Constitutions to the initiative process which is core political speech," explained Gualberto Garcia Jones, J.D., legal analyst for Personhood USA. "After being denied the same time frame that every other initiative received, and denied the opportunity to appear on the ballot, we have filed a writ of mandamus to ensure that our rights are recognized and the hard work of our volunteers is not dismissed."
The Colorado Personhood Coalition's language is different than any other in the nation, addressing a myriad of issues in detail that have never before been explored, including birth control, IVF, miscarriage, and rape.
The full language is just below: ColoradoRTL.org/2012-wording#text.
"Our nearly 1,500 volunteers worked incredibly hard," commented Susan Sutherland, Director of the Colorado Personhood Coalition. "Despite the odds, we did the work and got the signatures. We deserve to be on the ballot, and we will not quit until every signature is counted and ultimately, every innocent human life is protected in Colorado."
Pepsi: Aborted Baby Cells in Drink Research
PRO-LIFE VICTORY: PEPSI BOYCOTT ENDED!
PepsiCo has ceased their fetal cell research and recently publicized this policy: "PepsiCo does not conduct or fund research that utilizes any human tissue or cell lines derived from embryos or fetuses."
Further, Pepsi VP of Global Public Policy, Paul Boykas, wrote that, "Senomyx will not use HEK cells or any other tissues or cell lines derived from human embryos or fetuses for research performed on behalf of PepsiCo."
"We are absolutely thrilled with PepsiCo's decision," stated Debi Vinnedge, boycott organizer with Children of God for Life on April 30, 2012. "They have listened to their customers and have made both a wise and profound statement of corporate integrity that deserves the utmost respect, admiration and support of the public." CRTL thanks Debi Vinnedge and our Vice President Leslie Hanks agreed: "Colorado Right To Life appreciates PepsiCo for their policy prohibiting the grisly practice of using tissue from aborted children." Hanks added, "No responsible corporation should ever violate this PepsiCo policy."
FOR ARCHIVAL PURPOSES ONLY:
Coke & Campbell's Pull Out: Pepsi Digs In: Debi Vinnedge, executive director of Florida's Children of God for Life, in exposing another abortion horror, has convinced Campbell's Soups to immediately end their taste testing research using aborted baby cells. Coca-Cola, though never contacting Vinnedge, also ended their relationship with Senomyx, the biotech company conducting the flavor-enhancing research using an aborted baby's kidney cells to produce "human taste receptors". When new drink ingredients are put in contact with these cells, researchers note whether or not the cells produce certain protein reactions. (The same research can be done ethically using adult stem cells and in other ways.)
Colorado Gov. John Love Signs First Liberalized Abortion Law: 45 years ago today
Denver, April 25, 1967, 2007 -- Governor John A. Love of Colorado signs the first liberalized abortion law (based upon a model created by the American Law Institute) in the United States, allowing abortion in cases of permanent mental or physical disability of either the child or mother or in cases of rape or incest. This amended Colorado law on abortion has been on the books for over 100 years.
Similar laws will soon be passed in California, Oregon, and North Carolina. According to Governor Love, "The new law does several things. First it extends beyond the possible death of the woman or her serious physical injury to include mental impairment of a serious and permanent nature when verified by a psychiatrist. It also extends to cases in which it is likely that the child would have a grave and permanent physical deformity or mental retardation.
Finally it extends to certain cases of rape and incest. ... The bill itself is completely permissive, not requiring any hospital, doctor, nurse, potential mother or any other person to act in any way to terminate a pregnancy at any time."
Early in the legislative session, Governor Love reportedly said that easing abortion restrictions "sounds like something I can support." Now, however, he says: "The action of the Legislature in passing a bill which seeks to amend Colorado law in regard to the legal termination of certain pregnancies has presented to me one of the more important and difficult decisions of my experience in office."
Leonard Carlin, president of the Catholic Lawyers Guild of Denver, says "My impression was that he was one of the most enthusiastic supporters of the bill."
Here is Focus on the Strategy II, filmed at the capitol at CRTL's Forty Years in the Wilderness event, forty years later to the day in the same Supreme Court chambers where Gov. Love signed Colorado's first law liberalizing child killing:
In the above video, you'll learn how to do your part to restore the pro-life movement and to end America's "legalized" child killing. Focus II has cameo appearances from CRTL friends including Notre Dame law professor Charles Rice, Ambassador Alan Keyes, Life Dynamic's Mark Crutcher, American Life League president Judie Brown, our former president Columbine dad Brian Rohrbough, and founding board member of Nat'l RTL and Americans United for Life John Archibold.

2012 Caucus Personhood Resolution
PLEASE BRING THIS RESOLUTION TO YOUR CAUCUS ON TUESDAY
First find the location of your neighborhood caucus meeting and attend it on Tuesday, Feb. 7, 2012 at 7:00 p.m. Then, when the chairman ask if anyone has a resolution to offer, simply provide him with a printout of this resolution, and you can read the single sentence to the group yourself if you'd like:
Personhood Resolution
Be it resolved that we support the Colorado
Personhood Amendment effort to protect
the unborn child at every stage of development.
Depending upon your precinct process, you or someone may make a motion to vote on your resolution, and a second person may have to second the motion, and then there may be discussion. Let your neighbors know that if the measure is passed, the personhood and right to life of preborn babies will be restored. (See also, Colorado RTL's Personhood Campaign Talking Points).
In the last two elections, our resolution passed at hundreds of caucuses statewide, and if it passes now in yours, we want to make sure that it is voted on at the county assembly! Then as it is likely that it will pass there, it will go on for consideration at the state party assembly where it will almost certainly pass and become part of the state party platform! So by Wednesday morning, Feb. 8th, please email us at office@ColoradoRTL.org and let us know if your caucus adopted the resolution, and if you'd like, you can also tell your county party chairman or resolution committee, and confirm that they will be introducing the personhood resolution at the county level.
Finally, you may want to enter your name to be a delegate for your county assembly where you can continue to exert influence to protect unborn children!
May God bless your efforts!

Pro-Aborts Pay Restitution to CRTL
One of our truth truck banners was stolen at our annual CRTL Banquet by someone who wanted our message silenced. Our banner with Margaret Sanger's quote, "We don't want the word out that we want to exterminate the Negro population," was removed by someone obviously sympathetic to Planned Parenthood. CRTL persued justice in this case and received full four-fold restitution as described in God's Word for stolen goods that are destroyed (Exodus 22:1)...
American RTL Unfurled DNC Sheets Of Shame
DENVER, Aug. 26 /PRNewswire/ -- An official Guinness Book of World RecordsTM attempt to display the largest ever protest sign has succeeded. The 530-foot tall and 666-foot wide message is being shouted from the mountaintops overlooking the Democratic National Convention with the leading 2008 protest message.
Depending on their location, thousands of DNC delegates and journalists can look out their hotel windows to the west to see the sign. Sponsored by American RTL Action, the message initially appeared with three enormous 160-foot tall, bright yellow letters, D-N-C, stacked on top of each other.
After those letters suddenly appeared on a mountain just west of Denver, the actual full message of the sign began to unfurl. Three lines of white text, built on the vertical yellow letters read, D-N-C:
Destroys
uNborn
"The tiniest boys and girls should be loved and protected," said American RTL Action president Steve Curtis, "but as nominating Barack Obama emphasizes, the DNC even supports killing kids in the womb old enough to know their mother's voice, sleep and dream, suck their thumbs, and play with their toes."

Q: ZeroClipboard - Uncaught Error: Error: An invalid exception was thrown I want to create Copy to clipboard button for my my Web portal that is used inside Intranet (only users that are inside company domain can access it)
To do that I used ZeroClipboard plugin. Problem is that I got this error and I don't know how to fix it:
Uncaught Error: Error: An invalid exception was thrown.

Does someone knows where's the problem?
This is code that I am using:
<button id="text-to-copy" data-clipboard-text="Click To Copy!">Click To Copy</button>

<script src= "https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/zeroclipboard/2.2.0/ZeroClipboard.Core.min.js"></script>
        <script src= "https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/zeroclipboard/2.2.0/ZeroClipboard.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">

        var clientText = new ZeroClipboard( $("#text-to-copy"), {
            moviePath: "http://www.paulund.co.uk/playground/demo/zeroclipboard-demo/zeroclipboard/ZeroClipboard.swf",
            debug: false
        } );

        clientText.on( "load", function(clientText)
        {
            $('#flash-loaded').fadeIn();

            clientText.on( "complete", function(clientText, args) {
                clientText.setText( args.text );
                $('#text-to-copy-text').fadeIn();
            } );
        } );

            </script>

A: This is basically due to cross-protocol limitations
See https://github.com/zeroclipboard/zeroclipboard/blob/master/docs/instructions.md#cross-protocol-limitations
The simplest solution is to change the src of the scripts to relative protocol , i.e
Change line 2 to
<script src= "//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/zeroclipboard/2.2.0/ZeroClipboard.Core.min.js"></script>

and similiarly line 3 to
<script src= "//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/zeroclipboard/2.2.0/ZeroClipboard.min.js"></script>

When life gets tough or you get stressed the idea of going on a retreat can seem like heaven. You may wish you could spend the day or a week in a spa or health retreat but that is not always possible in the 'real world'. You may not be able to afford the time or expense to visit a health retreat but you can give yourself a mini retreat experience at home. It can be as short as an hour or two or as long as a day or weekend.
Below are some ideas to give yourself time out and nourish yourself so that you can come back refreshed, more productive and better able to cope with the 'real world'.
Begin the day with a glass of water with the juice of a lemon added to begin detoxing your body and then go for a brisk walk, run, swim or other exercise you enjoy. This could be made into a family activity and could be as short as 15 or 30 minutes. Eat a healthy breakfast on your return.
Take time to read something enjoyable, meditate, walk on the grass barefoot, listen to music or other activity that you find relaxing. You may choose to do it outdoors but if indoors you can vaporise some relaxing essential oils such as lavender, geranium, bergamot, marjoram or uplifting oils like lemon, sweet orange, mandarin, lime or grapefruit. You can place about 6 drops in a diffuser to perfume the air.
Have a bath with 4-6 drops of essential oil added to the warm water and swished about with some soothing music playing in the background followed by a massage can be very relaxing. Add the essential oils to half a cup of full fat milk before adding to the bath so the oils will disperse through the bath water. Perhaps apply a face mask while you're enjoying your bath.
Apply a scrub to your skin and wash off in the shower followed by some moisturising lotion or oil to which you have added your favourite essential oil blend.
60mls salt, 30mls jojoba oil, 5 drops grapefruit essential oil and 10 drops frankincense essential oil. Combine the salt and jojoba directly in a 120ml PET plastic jar. Add the drops of essential oils and stir vigorously with a spoon. Use a small handful while you're the shower or bath to scrub away dead skin and soothe muscle aches. Avoid use on the face. Rinse well. The lingering layer of jojoba will provide long lasting moisture.
Have a massage or if there is no one nearby give yourself a neck, shoulder, arm, hand or foot massage. One recipe you can try is lavender 3 drops, geranium 2 drops in 10 mls cold pressed vegetable oil or if you don't like lavender try Australian sandalwood 2 drops and grapefruit 3 drops.
Go on a picnic either at home or to your favourite spot. Have lunch or brunch with friends. Do something creative like drawing, making jewellery, writing poetry, journaling, making a video or whatever gets your creative juices flowing.
It doesn't really matter what you do as long as you take time out of your daily routine to have fun and nourish yourself physically, mentally and emotionally so you can reduce the stress in your life and feel happy to be part of the 'real world'. Make these mini retreats a regular part of your life.

"Smell of rain, smell of spearmint, smell of soil.
I prefer to use spearmint rather than peppermint for children. There are also adults who prefer her to peppermint as she has a gentler aroma and energy. This is due to the different chemical constituents of spearmint and peppermint.
Synonyms: Common Spearmint (M.viridis), Garden mint.
Aroma: The aroma is similar to but less potent than peppermint.
Colour: Pale olive to pale yellow.
Plant: Grows to 75cm in height with oval or lance shaped bright green leaves. Slender spikes of small aromatic white, pink or lilac clustered flowers appear from summer to early autumn. It has a system of underground runners that grow outward from the buds situated at the base of the stem. If the roots are not contained it will overwhelm other plants and rapidly crossbreed with other nearby mints.
Main Growing Areas: Native to the Mediterranean but grown in many countries with the USA being the largest producer.
Major Constituents: Carvone, limonene, linalool, 1.8 cineole. (-)-carvone gives spearmint its typical aroma. As with other oils the aroma can vary due to differences in temperature, humidity, soil fertility and time of harvest. Spearmint contains very little menthol in comparison with peppermint.
Interesting snippets: The ancient Greeks used it in their bath as both a tonic and scent.
The Romans introduced spearmint into Britain where it was used it to stop milk from curdling.
In medieval times it was used to heal sore gums and whiten teeth.
Mentha comes from the Greek meaning mint or the Latin mente meaning thought.
Spearmint is thought to be the oldest of the mints and named spere mynte in the 16th century.
Part of Plant used /Extraction: Flowering tops and leaves. The plants are usually harvested after the plant has flowered but before the seeds have ripened. Steam distilled from the flowering tops but the leaves and stem can also be steam distilled. The process can take between 35 and 50 minutes.
Therapeutic actions: Alleviates digestive disorders, nausea, wind, constipation, diarrhoea.
Relieves hiccups and nausea by relaxing the stomach muscles. Can also be used for travel sickness.
Because of her anti-inflammatory, decongestant and expectorant properties she is good to use as an inhalation at the first sign of a cold.
Research has shown spearmint to be effective against both gram+ and gram- bacteria and fungi and so could be considered in a blend for infected skin.
Emotional and Spiritual: Mental stimulant that cools and uplifts, good for tired minds, mental fatigue, lightness of being, stress induced nervousness, nervous exhaustion, soothes the nervous system.
Spearmint invigorates all levels of our being. Fresh and tingly, cool and soothing, Spearmint lifts heavy emotions and helps keep a clear intention to preserve and utilise your energies efficiently. Live the invigoration that Spearmint can bring to your life.
Safety: Non-irritating, non-sensitising. Advisable not to use neat on children under 18 months of age.

Behind the Scenes of New York Magazine's Star-Studded Cover
Alexander Spatari via Getty Images
It's already challenging to arrange a photo shoot with one famous person, so imagine getting together 72 celebrities for one photoshoot. Well, that's exactly what elite photographer Pelle Cass did for this year's New York Magazine's "Reasons to Love New York" cover. And it was one for the books...
Cass, known for his multi-exposure composed images, took the reigns on one of the most highly anticipated magazine covers of the year, and he did not let us down. Pelle's vision was to gather 72 New Yorkers who truly represent the bustling city, especially after the "return to spontaneity after years of pandemic-driven loss." So, Jody Quonm, New York's photo director, and her team reached out to a massive list of New Yorkers they thought would be perfect for the cover, and in return, ended up with 72 actors, models, entertainers, politicians, and more. So how in the world was this possible?
Robert Kamau/GC Images via Getty Images
Cass had a vision, and the vision just came to life. He called for all the participants to "wear color" and meet on the corner of Little West 12th and Washington Street while he positioned himself to stand above the crowd on the famous High Line. Beginning early in the morning, participants arrived checking in at Hector's Cafe before being told where to position themselves on the billion-dollar intersection. Spike Lee walked first and ran off to the airport. Paul Rudd came in with a big smile on his face as he mock-hailed a cab, Chuck Schumer politely shook hands with everyone, Julia Fox arrived in a typical outrageous Julia Fox two-piece outfit, and Em Rata brought her dog and was her glamourous self. Even Tariq the Corn Kid was in attendance.
A post shared by New York Magazine (@nymag)
As the shadows began to overtake the scene, Cass finished up his magic and took his final shots before taking his talents to the editing room. The mastermind photographer carefully combed through 10,912 images in order to produce the iconic New York Magazine cover we have been oh so blessed with, and it took him just 12 (hectic) hours to complete. So not only have we been given 72 reasons why we love New York, we're reminded once again that New York will never be dead, and is, in fact, the city that never sleeps.

'Ceremony: A New Order Tribute' proceeds to benefit Tony Wilson children's charity
Tracklist, Tributes
Florida-based record label 24 Hour Service Station next month will release a two-disc tribute to New Order, proceeds from which will benefit the Salford Foundation Trust's Tony Wilson Awards, established in memory of the late Factory Records co-founder and Manchester musical icon.
Due out Feb. 20 — on what would have been Wilson's 60th birthday — the 2CD version of Ceremony: A New Order Tribute features 33 covers from electronic and indie acts such as Rabbit in the Moon, Detachments and Kites With Lights, as well as a spoken-word dedication from Peter Hook, bassist for New Order and its precursor Joy Division.
At the same time, 24 Hour Service Station also will issue an 18-track digital edition of Ceremony with an entirely different tracklist, plus a second digital-only album featuring 12 of the participating bands covering "Ceremony," the Joy Division song that became New Order's first single in 1981 following the suicide of singer Ian Curtis.
Marshall Dickson, a DJ who started 24 Hour Service Station in 1993, has been compiling the tribute since shortly after Wilson died of cancer in 2007. A portion of the money raised by the project will go the charity established in Wilson's name, which gives grants to children who demonstrate "a special talent or ambition in the arts or creative skills."
For more information and to pre-order Ceremony, visit newordertribute.com.

Securing Australia
Securing jobs
Breaking into the global supply chain
Homegrown Hobart-based Liferaft Systems Australia says a successful BAE Systems bid to build Australia's next generation naval frigates will boost employment in Tasmania, while giving its company a milestone opportunity to celebrate the deployment of its cutting-edge technology to Royal Australian Navy vessels. Having already this year delivered its Maritime Evacuation System to the first Queen Elizabeth Class Aircraft Carrier and future Royal Naval Flagship, HMS Queen Elizabeth, Liferaft Systems Australia Managing Director Mike Grainger said the company was eager for the opportunity to extend its lifesaving expertise to the Royal Australian Navy. Click here to read more...
Can the naval shipbuilding industry unlock export opportunities for Australia?
BAE Systems certainly believes it can - and it has a proud 64-year history of working closely with Australian companies to back up that assertion. The Nulka system, which has been Australia's largest regular defence export for many years, is a shining example of how close collaboration can create world class results. The Nulka system is a highly effective missile decoy, used to protect warships. BAE Systems first became involved with Nulka in the late 1980s, when the Company was contracted for the engineering development of the Nulka system and rocket vehicle. Click here to read more...
Collaboration and culture keys to superior capability
Major defence projects are often lauded for their technical wizardry – their size, scale, capability and the sheer magnitude of work performed to achieve success. For the people and companies operating within those projects however, it is the level of collaboration and team culture that they recognise as underpinning those more visible measures of success. For government projects, and particularly those in the defence sector, this team culture has to occur at three levels. To get things right involves the close understanding of the respective governments, the companies involved, and most importantly the employees working together every day. And when this happens the benefits to Australia are deep. Click here to read more...
Education critical to developing Australia's defence capability
For BAE Systems developing world-class technology is just one part of securing Australia's naval shipbuilding future. A skilled and educated workforce is equally important, and that can only be achieved through a close working relationship between industry and the education sector. Anticipating it will create around 1,000 new graduate and apprenticeship positions, should the company be successful in its bid for SEA 5000, BAE Systems Australia recently launched a 'call to action' for the nation's students to consider a future career in the defence industry. Click here to read more...
New Type 26 Frigate continues world leading ASW legacy
The ever increasing capability of submarines worldwide has meant that anti-submarine warfare (ASW) has become part of the psyche of the Royal Navy (RN). There are now 40 countries operating submarines (from a peak of over 100). However, investment in submarines has increased significantly in the 21st century after its nadir following the end of the Cold War. Click here to read more...
The science of stealth
The Global Combat Ship - Australia (GCS-A) will be a refined design of the UK Royal Navy's Type 26 Global Combat Ship, a vessel designed specifically for Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW), and designed and built by BAE Systems. The Type 26 Global Combat Ship's (Type 26) hull form and propulsion system operates with an exceptionally low underwater-radiated noise, thereby providing the best possible platform to detect and avoid detection in the theatre of submarine warfare. Click here to read more...
Digital shipyard to transform local industry
If BAE Systems is successful on SEA 5000, its proposed digital shipyard will not only deliver world-class frigates for the Royal Australian Navy, it will help create one of the most skilled and sought-after shipbuilding workforces in the world. The new purpose built ship building facility at Techport, South Australia, will employ thousands of Australians and foster the development of a new generation of skilled workers, equipping them with industry knowledge and experience that will open up global employment opportunities. Click here to read more...
Digitisation to transform supply chain
If the 'fourth industrial revolution' (or Industry 4.0) is to be realised, enterprise processes must become more digitised. Traditional supply chains will need to evolve towards a connected, smart, and highly efficient ecosystem. The goal of the digital supply chain is ambitious - the building of an altogether new kind of supply network that's both resilient and responsive. BAE Systems believes it can meet that criteria head on and hopes to deliver a new naval ship building capability to Australia if the company is successful on SEA 5000. Click here to read more...
A long history of securing Australia's future
BAE Systems has been helping to secure Australia for generations. For over 60 years we have built and sustained complex platforms including Naval Frigates, Landing Helicopter Dock ships, patrol boats and minor war vessels for the Royal Australian Navy in shipyards around the country. With over 3,500 staff across the nation, we are Australia's largest defence industry company, and we have a proven track record of growing Australian Industry Capability as a trusted partner to our local supply chain of over 1,600 Australian companies.
The Future Frigates program
The SEA 5000 Future Frigate program is a key part of The Government's commitment to modernising Australia's naval capabilities and establishing a continuous naval shipbuilding industry on our shores. To replace our aging ANZAC Class frigates, nine 'Future Frigates' will be built in Adelaide, South Australia, as part of the program, with the fleet to become an integral part of our Royal Australian Navy's long-term defence capabilities. This transformative $35 billion program will drive investment, jobs, growth and innovation across our economy and create opportunities for small to medium sized businesses for the next 40 years.
The Formidable Global Combat Ship – Australia
Our design for the SEA 5000 Future Frigate is an evolution of the UK Royal Navy's Type 26 Frigate, currently under production in Glasgow, Scotland. We call it the Global Combat Ship – Australia, or GCS-A for short. Like its reference design the Type 26, the GCS-A will be the most technologically advanced anti-submarine warship in the world. It will have a peerless growth margin and be ready and capable of undertaking a range of maritime operations anywhere in the world. In the words of the Royal Navy, it is a ship that is the "quietest and most potent submarine-hunter of any Navy", and one that "sailors will be happy and proud to work in."
Jobs for Australians
If successful on SEA 5000, BAE Systems is committed to ensuring our Future Frigates are built in Australia by Australians. We expect to create over 5,000 high skill Australian jobs through the program, including over 1,000 apprenticeships and graduate roles. Apprenticeships in steelwork, mechanical, electrical and technical trades as well as substantial job opportunities for current and future generations of engineers, designers, project managers and professionals will deliver SEA 5000 over the coming decades. If you're interested in working with us now and into the future, Click here to learn more and to register.
Jobs of the future
We're proud of our past, but if we are to establish a world-class local shipbuilding industry we need to move swiftly with the times. So, as we forge ahead to establish a sustainable maritime defence industry in Australia, we recognise that our future employees will need the latest training to help design and build the most technologically advanced warships in the world. The GCS-A will be the world's first and only Bow-to-Stern digitally designed ASW. From Day 1 of the SEA 5000 program we will transfer full intellectual property to Australia to kick start the knowledge sharing that will be necessary to build, sustain and optimise the Future Frigates.
Graduate Programs & Apprenticeships
Young Australians will benefit enormously from BAE Systems' involvement in the Future Frigates program. We have engaged with government, universities, colleges, employers and unions to design an early careers program that will provide long-term job opportunities for all Australians. We are already working with community leaders and industry groups to tailor apprenticeships for indigenous employees, and we are working with universities around the country to develop a graduate program for students. All of this is geared towards the development of a robust and ready talent pipeline that will quickly mobilise to support Australia's existing shipbuilding workforce.
Partnering with Australia
Nation-building opportunities like the Future Frigates program aren't built by one company alone. They require collaboration, knowledge-sharing and partnership across a range of organisations all working towards a common goal: to help secure Australia's future together. Supporting the largest supply chain network in Australia's defence industry, our commitment to our supply chain partners is unparalleled. We will give Australian businesses access to Batch 2 of the UK Type 26 program as well full access to our annual global supply expenditure of over A$18b. By maximising opportunities for Australian industry at home and abroad we will create a sustainable shipbuilding industry that is both enduring and world class.
Developing Australian Industry
We have been developing Australian industry capability for more than 60 years and, if given the opportunity to deliver SEA 5000, we are ready to propel Australia's shipbuilding industry forward like never before. Our plan to develop Australia's maritime capability through SEA 5000 will include the full transfer of more than 30 years' design, production and sustainment expertise and the 500,000+ worker years' development that has gone into the GCS-A. This will translate into more than 3,500 new supply chain jobs that will be created as a result of SEA 5000. In addition, we will bring 50 original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) with us through the program – all of which are multinational companies in their own right – to establish headquarters in Australia to deliver SEA 5000 in partnership with us, creating an additional 300 jobs for the nation. As the Australian manufacturing industry transitions itself over future years, our transformational program of investment in industrial capability will provide real opportunities for our supply chain partners to prosper.
An Australian Export Hub
The Global Combat Ship Program is a transformative opportunity for Australia to establish itself as a genuine leader in naval shipbuilding. BAE Systems is committed to transferring 40 years' worth of internationally benchmarked shipbuilding processes to our local enterprises through the Future Frigates Program. We will create a Digital Shipyard at Techport, transferring all our intellectual property, technical data and know-how, and with our ongoing investment in new technology, our aim is to establish our Australian operations as a regional export hub. In doing so, Australia will rapidly become competitive on the world stage when it comes to our advanced manufacturing capabilities, opening up vital export opportunities and helping to secure the future prosperity of the wider Australian economy.

Many of us make new years resolutions with the intention of kicking goals and changing our lives to match a vision in our heads. Our Growing Edge was a vision that Genie over at Bunny. Eats. Design had about this time last year as a way to push foodie boundaries and encourage people to try new cooking techniques, test new ingredients and continue to learn in the kitchen. When I was invited to join in late last year I was instantly taken with it as it suited one of the driving forces in my cooking, to teach myself new skills, try new ingredients and be prepared to take risks in the kitchen.
So for the inspiration and risk taking that you've inspired with this wonderful blog party I'd like to wish Genie on behalf of all of its participants a very happy first birthday to Our Growing Edge!
And here in no particular order is what we've all been exploring over the month of December to test our boundaries and expand our cooking skills.
Coolcookstyle went in search of recreating a foodie memory and recounted a sad tale of a home, but the beauty that can come from such a place in the form of Classic Gratin Dauphinois. As a lover of potatoes in our household I'll be adding this recipe to my list of must tries for the new year.
From one French classic to another as Supergolden Bakes took on the awesome challenge of making Choux pastry (I'm in awe by the way as pastry is one thing I'm a little scared of but have on my Our Growing Edge list to try). I have to say as a lover of almond croissants her photo's alone had me wanting to reach into the photos and taste test this sweet delight so make sure you check out the Mini Paris Brest.
I'm beginning to sense a French theme to December's cooking challenges for everyone just quietly as I stumble upon the next post from Food On Demant which is Chili & Liquourice Caramel Truffles…drool! An interesting flavour combination that is sure to capture the imagination of a chilli lover & a sweet tooth, I'm intrigued and inspired by the idea and may have to take up the sugar challenge once again….
For here is my contribution as I took on the challenge of cooking with sugar to try my hand at Pistachio and Honey Nougat. It was certainly more of a challenge than I might have imagined with the results being close, but not quite where I wanted them to be. The flavour was sensational and the experience has not put me off the idea of getting back into the kitchen with a candy thermometer. Another sweet treat to add to our plate of petit fors?
Pretty Hungry took on a very interesting challenge, and a trip into history to create her amazing looking vinegar pie. This is a story worth reading even just to understand how such a simple and frugal pie can be created to indulge even the tightest budget.
From flexing our sugar muscles to another French dish (oui oui, I kid you not) in the form of Nom Nom Cat's Moules Marinieres… aka deliciously cooked Mussels to make your taste buds sing. This post is a great little lesson in preparing these beautiful shellfish to maximise the flavour and demonstrates the beauty of simplicity to get the most out of your sea bounty.
To our mussels shall we have some Ratatouille inspired from the movie and created by Sweet Brains? I think this would go deliciously with our potato gratin and perhaps a glass of Burgundy?
And if we wanted to start our meal with something of a luscious treat then I can think of nothing better than to create Genie's contribution for this month with her Duck Liver, Cognac and Sage Paté.
Finally after all that lovely French food, we took a very experimental edge to some traditional Christmas baking with Nom Nom Panda. A lovely collection of handmade Christmas decorations, an attempt at Japanese deco rolls (which I think look impressive) and an amazing edible Christmas wreath.
I'm feeling very honored to have hosted our roundup for this month and feel like I could not have a written a menu this well with the contributions from everyone for this month's Our Growing Edge. We have created a French feast worthy of any King. I think I just need an espresso to round off this feast and I'm ready for bed.
Happy Cooking, Happy Exploring and Happy Eating!
G'day and great photos and recipes too!
Well done in challenging yourself and in continuing to do!
Happy New Years Leah. May 2014 bring you new and delicious things.
Thank you for hosting Our Growing Edge this month. The coincidental French theme is very interesting but not so surprising. It's always funny when there are parallels in what is submitted. It makes me wonder if there really is a collective consciousness that we all tap into, though French cooking is one of those cuisines that shine on foodie bucket lists.
Awesome roundup. Oh the allure of French food 😀 It just has that chic and rustic (and of course delicious) appeal that make us want to make it, doesn't it?

Justice for Henry Green and Tyre King!
Columbus, Ohio – The names of Black people most recently murdered by Columbus police were chanted on Oct. 28 as over 300 people took to the streets to protest. The 614 Unity March through downtown Columbus, the capital of Ohio and the largest city in the state, was called by an ad hoc group of local anti-racist activists. Leaders of the event included the mother of Henry Green, the Ohio State University Coalition for Black Liberation, Black Lives Matter, Showing Up for Racial Justice (SURJ) and the Green Party.
In the early evening of June 6, 23-year-old Henry Green was walking with a friend when an unmarked SUV with two plain-clothed police confronted the African-American men, claiming that Green had a gun. Green indeed had a gun, having obtained the necessary concealed carry permit issued by the state of Ohio. The officers never identified themselves, and Green was gunned down in the street.
Two months later, on Sept. 14, 13-year-old Tyre King was shot and killed after allegedly pulling a BB gun on police officers. Nine-year police veteran Bryan Mason, who shot the youngster three times, had also killed a Black man in 2012, but had been cleared by a police investigation.
King's murder was the final straw for the people of Columbus. Protests have been ongoing ever since, including shutting down the city council and blocking streets. The families of Green and King called for independent investigations by federal officials in a joint press conference on Sept. 27. There is zero confidence that the police can impartially investigate the police.
A contingent from the Cleveland branch of Workers World Party drove to Columbus to show solidarity with the African-American community there. The parallel between the shooting of 12-year-old Tamir Rice by Cleveland police and 13-year-old Tyre King by Columbus police illustrates that it is not just "a few bad officers" who need "better training." Indict, convict and send those killer cops to jail! The whole damn system is guilty as hell!


Many traditional stories provide lessons on how to live. Over human history these have been summarised into proverbs and sayings that often have been depicted in art. These are common in the art of the sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Netherlands, when artists combined giving moral guidance with realistic depictions of everyday life. For example, Pieter Bruegel the elder's much-copied Netherlandish Proverbs contains illustrations of over 100 proverbs.
An important related strand in art is the allegory, which is an object, figure or subject that symbolises another important abstract theme. Some are obvious, like an allegory of death and human vanity that might include a skull or a faded bloom, but the meanings of many are now lost to most modern viewers.


Fixed a small text alignment error.
Party Jam!! is a two-player anti-fighting game. The prompt of the jam I made this for was "genre without mechanic," so I made a fighting game where you can't hit your opponent. You play as Juan and Tu, the last two dancers in a dance marathon. If you don't perform a dance move for too long, you'll be disqualified. If you do perform a dance move, but you hit your opponent in the process, you'll also be disqualified. Be careful to only dance when you don't think your opponent will rush you and don't PARTY FOUL!!
There is quite a bit of room for improvement here. There is no walk animation, no music, I initially wanted the disco ball to spin and lower to its normal position before every match, and all of the visuals are fairly crude. I might come back to this later, but this is all I've been able to get done within the span of the jam. Also, the only play testing I was able to do was myself on both controls, so the game balance probably needs to be tightened as well.

Nicholas Hoult Says "Everything is Very Different for Beast" in 'X-Men: Dark Phoenix'.
María Garduño	 September 11, 2017	 Leave a Comment
Beast hasn't had an easy life in the X-Men franchise, first hating his mutation so much that he tried to "cure" it, failing miserably when it backfired transforming his mutation of big feet into the big blue beast we all know and love.
Although in the original trilogy, and in some scenes of X-Men: Days of Future Past, Beast was played by Kelsey Grammer, actor Nicholas Hoult is the face we associate the most with the character as he has been playing Hank McCoy since X-Men: First Class back in 2011.
The next instalment of the X-Men saga will be the upcoming film X-Men: Dark Phoenix, where Hoult is set to return as Beast, alongside Jennifer Lawrence as Mystique, Evan Peters as Quicksilver, James McAvoy as Professor Xavier, Michael Fassbender as Magneto and Jessica Chastain as an unknown character.
X-Men: Days of Future Past cast.
The film has been confirmed, by director and writer Simon Kinberg, to be a retelling of the Dark Phoenix saga, but on a more grounded line than the rest of the franchise.
Not much more has been said about the upcoming film, but Hoult may have told us something more about the character's arc in X-Men: Dark Phoenix.
At the Toronto International Film Festival, while promoting his new movie The Current War, Hoult told ET Canada that not only does the movie hasn't wrapped filming but also that he is looking forward to something "very different".
"It's very different for Beast this time, and that was part of the appeal of doing the movie for me. Simon Kinberg, who wrote and directed this time, had great ideas for where he wanted the character to go, so I was excited".
Even though he doesn't elaborate with details of how things will be different for him, we know from the comics that he doesn't particularly play one of the biggest roles in the Dark Phoenix saga, so we can only speculate what's next for his character and how much will things change for him.
Whatever happens with Beast, all we can do is wait and see what's next.
If you want to check the full interview with Nicholas Hoult, check the clip down below starting in minute 1:32.
What do you think about this news? Are you excited for this film?
X-Men: Dark Phoenix is set to premiere November 2, 2018.

"The top one crore people are really doing well. So, we will find really good traction in the high-end cars. Look at the SUVs of all the automakers. They are really doing well. The two-wheelers in India represent the masses or the non-affluent side of demand and that has been struggling.

Indian market well held up and won't be as volatile as in the past: Jonathan Schiessl
"Foreigners have been buying this market and have periods of selling the market as well but one of the other big positives for India is the increasingly large domestic buying. If developed markets go another notch lower, then it is unlikely that India would remain unaffected. But, excluding major international events, the Indian market looks fairly well held up and should not be as volatile as in the past."

Chaz Bundick has taken another unexpected detour with his fourth album, What For? The 10-track LP, the writer-producer's latest under the Toro y Moi moniker, is full of fuzz-pedal guitars, soulful rhythms and classic rock chord changes — a change of pace from his previous forays into chillwave and funky electro-pop. What For? is out April 7th on Carpark Records, but fans can stream the entire set now at NPR.
The album is bound by its organic, vintage-sounding production style, but Bundick covers a lot of stylistic ground within that framework – from the jazzy groove of "Buffalo" to the Doobie Brothers-at-a-disco rush of "Spell It Out" to the power-pop hooks of "Empty Nesters." The biggest revelation on What For? is Bundick's prominent use of electric guitar; most tracks are driven by six-strings, with many incorporating kaleidoscopic solos.
Bundick was lumped into the chillwave genre with his debut LP, 2010's Causers of This, but he explored funk, psych-pop and electro-pop in his two follow-up albums, 2011's Underneath the Pine and 2013's Anything in Return. What For? signals his most dramatic about-face to date.

Adventures by Disney (ABD) – Ready to Dream?
Thanks AdventuresbyDisney.com for the great photos!
So, how many of you know much about Adventures by Disney? I have found out that not many do and that more should. Traveling around the World to some of the most exotic and interesting places needs to be done with a guide. What company can you think of that would be better at this than Disney? Talk about getting it right!
First, let's address a few elephants (Dumbo is here?) in the room. One major thing I want to get out-of-the-way is cost. Yes, Adventures by Disney is not cheap. It is not designed to be but similar to Disney Cruise Line you get what you pay for and with ABD that rings true throughout the trip. Compared to other similar trips/guided tours more costs are included in the quote (meals/tickets/etc.) and so less money out-of-pocket going on. The accommodations are first class and there are two guides per trip (which comes in handy when the adults go off wine tasting and the kids go to "nonna's house" to learn to make pasta. There is a real Italian grandmother ready to teach your kids the fun side of pasta making and you get a few hours to relax and do what you really want to do in Italy – drink some great wine.
lines. There are no characters and no rides or attractions. Disney's professional side comes out and other than getting first class service and attention, there is not a lot of Disney theme park comparisons.
The adventures and experiences are top-notch and the best adventures I have seen out there. So, ever been to the Vatican? I have but not with ABD and so I waited and waited. If you go with Disney you get to go first and no lines. That is what the Disney name (and fee) goes to pay.
Think you want to go to Peru but you do not want to take the kids or do not have kids and really want an adults only trip – no problem Adventures by Disney has ADULTS ONLY trips.
Thanks to AdventuresbyDisney.com for the great photos!

Tingley Beach is a recreational area in Albuquerque , New Mexico , USA, located south of Central Avenue on the east side of the Rio Grande . It is part of the Albuquerque Biological Park complex. The series of ponds, originally known as Conservancy Beach, was built during the 1930s by diverting water from the Rio Grande and later renamed in honor of Clyde Tingley. After the beach was closed to swimmers in the 1950s, it was used primarily for fishing. The Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA)awarded Tingley Beach with the '2008 North American Conservation Award'.
Tingley Beach was thoroughly renovated starting in 2004, and was reopened to the public in November 2005. The facility features fishing ponds for adults and children, a model boating pond, paddle boats, nature trails, a gift shop, a restaurant, and a narrow-gauge railroad connecting Tingley Beach with the Rio Grande Botanic Garden , Albuquerque Aquarium , and Rio Grande Zoo .


I'm still so very much a work in progress. But, I'm thankful to be His work in progress. Thanking God today for never giving up on me…and for helping me love like He loves, and for never ever seeing anyone as a lost cause.
I recently had a conversation with someone. They were talking about a "friend" who they literally see as a lost cause – even to God. I was very quick to note that NO ONE is truly a lost cause.
I'm grateful beyond words to a God who does not ever give up on ANYONE – not you, not me, and not that person you cannot begin to offer grace to because…Yes, even them. God loves each and every one of us – His precious creations.
Thank you, God, for not ever giving up on us!

The goals of the Artis lab are to understand the regulatory mechanisms that control immune cell homeostasis at the body's barrier surfaces. Employing diverse models of microbial colonization, pathogen infection and chronic inflammation, research in the Artis lab is examining how mammalian host genetics and signals derived from commensal microbial communities influence innate and adaptive immune responses in the skin, lung and intestine.
The Artis lab welcomes a diverse set of talents and fosters an interdisciplinary approach in its attempts to translate fundamental scientific discoveries into clinical innovations.
Ongoing studies are examining the influence of host genetic- and environmental-derived signals on the development and functions of innate and adaptive immune cells in the context of health and disease. The findings of these studies offer the potential to identify new therapeutic targets to limit infection, chronic inflammation and autoimmune diseases.
