Le Château (titre original : ) est un roman de Franz Kafka. Inachevé, l'ouvrage est publié en 1926 à titre posthume à l'initiative de Max Brod, ami de l'auteur.

Le récit suit les aventures de K., qui se bat pour entrer en contact avec les autorités du village où il vient d'arriver, afin d'officialiser son statut d'arpenteur. Mais le « château » où résident les fonctionnaires demeure inaccessible.

Sombre et irréel, Le Château traite de l'aliénation de l'individu face à une bureaucratie qui a coupé tout contact avec la population.
Aujourd'hui considérée comme l'un des plus grands romans du , l'œuvre aurait dû être détruite, comme tous les romans de Kafka, selon la volonté de l'auteur, mais Max Brod s'y refusa.

Résumé

K. arrive dans un village gouverné par un château. Se frayant un chemin dans la neige, il parvient jusqu'à l'auberge, où il se présente comme le nouvel arpenteur, appelé par les autorités du château. Durant un premier conflit avec un dénommé Schwarzer qui refuse de croire à cette fonction, et qui téléphone au château pour s'assurer de la véracité de ses dires, il semble y avoir un malentendu. Après une première tentative échouée pour se rendre au château, K. retourne à l'auberge et fait la connaissance de ses assistants, deux jeunes hommes particulièrement irréfléchis et impertinents, puis de Barnabas, messager du château, qui lui remet une lettre de Klamm, un représentant du château. (K. apprend que ce fonctionnaire est son contact avec le chateau.)

À la suite d'un malentendu, K. se rend à l'auberge des Messieurs et fait la connaissance de Frieda, une employée qui se dit « maîtresse » de Klamm. Pourtant les deux personnages tombent amoureux et passent la nuit ensemble.

Contexte de création

Kafka commence à écrire le Château le soir de son arrivée à la station de Spindlermühle (aujourd'hui en Tchéquie), le . Une photo de lui prise dès son arrivée le montre près d'un traineau dans la neige, dans un cadre rappelant celui du Château. On peut alors noter l'importance de l'utilisation de la première personne pendant les premiers chapitres du manuscrit, qui furent modifiés par la suite au profit d'une narration à la troisième personne.

Mais le , dans une lettre à Max Brod, il déclare qu'il abandonne définitivement le roman. Le récit s'achève alors au milieu d'une phrase. En diverses occasions, il révèle à son ami Max Brod deux informations sur la fin de son récit : K. s'installe dans le village jusqu'à sa mort et le château l'informe sur son lit de mort que . Kafka meurt en 1924, sans en avoir repris la rédaction.

Trame

Personnages

K. est le héros du roman, aucune indication particulière n'est donnée à son sujet. Au fur et à mesure du récit, il apparait comme un personnage assez équilibré, qui semble de plus en plus déconcerté par le comportement assez inhabituel des villageois et des membres du château. La narration nous livre d'abord sa vision des situations, qui nous apparaissent donc comme loufoques, mais on nous livre généralement la vision des habitants du village ensuite, et c'est alors le comportement de K. qui paraît étrange, obstiné, déraisonnable et transgressif. Il déploie en tout cas une grande énergie pour obtenir sa place au sein du village.

Frieda, ancienne employée à l'auberge des Messieurs, elle quitte Klamm et son travail lorsqu'elle tombe amoureuse de K.. Jeune fille chétive, elle peut faire preuve d'une certaine fragilité comme d'une plus grande fermeté. Selon les récits des divers personnages, elle apparaît comme manipulée et maltraitée, ou au contraire comme manipulatrice et calculatrice. Elle-même accuse K. de la négliger, mais affecte de l'aimer tout en restant impénétrable.

Barnabé est le messager du château, peu loquace, il cherche à redorer l'image de sa famille. Cependant, il a un statut instable et mal défini parmi les fonctionnaires, et s'il semble fidèle et dévoué, il est souvent pris d'accès de désespoir et ne livre pas le courrier.

Klamm est un fonctionnaire haut placé du château. Insaisissable, il se déplace entre le château et la ville sans jamais apparemment discuter avec personne. Personne ne peut vraiment le décrire, et son apparence semble changer entre le château et le village. Frieda semble pourtant pouvoir l'approcher, et c'est ce pouvoir qui séduit K. (lors de leur rencontre, elle lui propose de regarder Klamm par le trou de la serrure). K. passera une bonne partie du roman à essayer d'entrer en contact avec lui, sans succès.

Erlanger, secrétaire de Klamm, il doit traiter l'affaire de K., qui devra affronter bien des obstacles avant de le rencontrer.

Les aides de K. paraissent tout le long du roman comme des personnages frivoles, chamailleurs, indisciplinés et indiscrets qui irritent beaucoup K.

Pepi, éphémère remplaçante de Frieda à l'auberge des messieurs, elle tente de séduire K. en dénonçant l'aspect manipulateur et calculateur de Frieda, qui, selon son interprétation, aurait exploité la naïveté de K. afin de relancer sa réputation.

Olga est la sœur de Barnabé. Sans doute amoureuse de K., elle est la narratrice de deux longs récits enchâssés racontant les malheurs de la famille Barnabas à la suite de la disgrâce de sa sœur Amalia qui a refusé les avances du fonctionnaire Sortini, et les efforts du père et de Barnabas pour se sortir de la disgrâce et obtenir le pardon du Château.

Publication

Kafka avait demandé à Max Brod de détruire tous ses écrits après sa mort, mais celui-ci ne s'exécute pas totalement et fait publier plusieurs textes. Le château paraît en 1926 en Allemagne, édité par Kurt Wolff Verlag à Munich. Les  premiers exemplaires se vendent très mal. Le roman est republié en 1935 par Schocken Verlag à Berlin et en 1946 par Schocken Books à New York.

Brod dut grandement mettre en forme le texte pour le préparer à la publication. Son but premier est de faire connaitre Kafka et son travail, non pas de faire une organisation complète et rigoureuse des manuscrits de Kafka, par là même, il modifie parfois quelque peu la structure du récit. Cela influencera grandement les futures traductions qui se baseront sur les premières versions de Max Brod. Mais celles-ci seront remises en cause, et plusieurs rééditions changent la structure du texte, pour se montrer plus proche des intentions de l'auteur ; mais encore aujourd'hui, la traduction est sujette à plusieurs discussions.

Brod voit une grande importance religieuse dans la symbolique du château. C'est une des interprétations possibles, basée sur les nombreuses références judéo-chrétiennes que contient le texte, comme le remarquent de nombreux critiques dont Arnold Heidsieck.

Traduction

En 1930 sort la première traduction de l'œuvre, en anglais. Cette version traduite par Willa et Edwin Muir est éditée chez Secker & Warburg en Angleterre et Alfred A. Knopf aux États-Unis. Avec la redécouverte de Kafka et l'engouement grandissant pour l'auteur, plusieurs autres traductions suivront, basées sur l'édition de Max Brod. La première traduction française sort en 1938 et est réalisée par Alexandre Vialatte.

L'éditeur Salman Schocken réalise rapidement que la version de Max Brod et toutes les traductions qui se sont ensuivis sont très peu fidèles au travail original de l'auteur et désire « une approche complètement différente ». En 1961, Malcolm Pasley a accès aux manuscrits de Kafka (hormis Le Procès) et les transporte en voiture d'un coffre suisse jusqu'à la Bodleian Library de l'université d'Oxford, où avec quelques érudits (Gerhard Neumann, Jost Schillemeit, et Jürgen Born), il recompile les textes. En 1982, il publie la nouvelle version allemande du Château aux éditions S. Fischer. Celle-ci se compose du roman dans un premier volume, et de fragments de textes et notes d'éditeurs dans un second volume. L'équipe restaure le texte original à son état complet et fragmentaire, y compris la ponctuation originale, considérée comme primordiale pour le style.

L'interprétation des intentions de Kafka est encore aujourd'hui un sujet de discussions. Les éditions Stroemfeld/Roter Stern cherchent à obtenir les droits pour initier une édition critique comparant la version de Malcolm Pasley au manuscrit. Mais Malcolm Pasley ainsi que les héritiers de Kafka s'y sont pour l'instant opposés.

Analyse

De très nombreuses interprétations ont été données de ce roman. Certaines voient dans le Château une métaphore de l'État et de l'administration — de sa distance et de sa rigidité — ; d'autres, plus métaphysiques, voient dans ce château inaccessible une représentation du paradis, le personnage se trouvant dans une sorte de purgatoire. Le labyrinthe bureaucratique du Château peut aussi représenter la confusion mentale sans issue présente en tout être humain.

Kafka nous montre ici une certaine absurdité du monde, en même temps qu'il met en exergue la puissance et l'arbitraire de l'autorité, nous plongeant dans l'angoisse d'une administration impénétrable aux ramifications infinies, complexe et toute-puissante, qui oblige à des démarches sans fin, et use la vie de ceux qui s'en approchent avec des « cas » et des « affaires », comme dans Le Procès. K. est le symbole de l'impuissance humaine à comprendre et à agir. Son ambition tombe de plus en plus bas : il veut accéder au château, n'y parvient pas, il essaye alors de voir Klamm, puis simplement de voir son secrétaire, il use pour cela de relations instables (Frieda, la famille Barnabas, l'aubergiste, Bürgel) mais il ne comprend jamais les règles et a toujours un coup de retard. De plus, das Schloss, en allemand, signifie le château, mais aussi le verrou, aussi, K. s'oppose sans cesse à un chateau/verrou dans lequel il est impossible de pénétrer, il restera toujours fermé pour lui.

Kafka met en avant la pluralité des interprétations. La narration oblige souvent à revenir sur de longs passages et à les envisager sous un tout autre angle, au point qu'on perd toute notion de ce que peut signifier la vérité, et qu'on ne sait plus si K. est manipulé ou s'il manipule, si son affaire avance ou n'avance pas, etc. Ainsi, après avoir emménagé à l'école, Frieda accuse K. de la délaisser, et de s'être servi d'elle pour arriver à ses fins et accéder à Klamm. Le lecteur doit alors relire l'histoire de leur rencontre et le parcours entier de K. à la lumière de ce discours, qui a été soufflé à Frieda par l'hôtelière. De même, lorsque K. rencontre Pepi à l'auberge des messieurs, elle tente de lui expliquer que Frieda est une manipulatrice qui est laide dans les faits, mais charme tout le monde par son apparente puissance, comme amie de Klamm, et par ses relations, au point qu'on lui prête à tort une grande beauté. Elle se serait servie de K., qui n'a rien vu venir, pour relancer son prestige déclinant par un scandale. Ici aussi, la version de Pepi paraît aussi plausible que celle que le récit nous incitait à prendre pour vraie à travers les yeux de K. On pourrait presque parler d'un principe d'indétermination avant la lettre dans Le Château : plusieurs systèmes explicatifs peuvent cohabiter selon qu'on envisage la situation sous un angle ou sous un autre. K. lui-même est quelqu'un d'ambigu, dont on ne connait pas du tout l'intériorité. Quant au village, il est tout aussi impénétrable; ses règles comme ses habitants sont entourés d'obscurité : tout le monde calcule et spécule, mais personne ne sait rien finalement. La déroute de K. nous fait perdre tout repère et noie tout sens : il n'y a pas de vérité concernant le château, que personne ne connaît au fond vraiment (beaucoup de rumeurs, peu de faits concrets) et il n'y a pas non plus de solution possible à l'affaire de K..

Selon Max Brod, les deux œuvres maîtresses de Kafka, le Procès et le Château nous montreraient deux formes sous lesquelles le Divin se présenterait à nous : la Justice et la Grâce. Le Procès est un endroit où K. ne peut entrer et symbolise donc un gouvernement divin dirigeant la destinée humaine, qui, elle, est représentée par le Château.

The central area of Kirkoswald village was designated as a conservation area 16 December 1999.
Kirkoswald lies in a landscape of lush agriculturally improved pastures enclosed by hedgerows and stone walls with areas of woodland. The village is enclosed to the north and east by the gently rolling foothills of the North Pennines. To the immediate south and west is the River Eden, a Special Area of Conservation. The small cobbled Market Square and cobbled roadside margins, combined with the natural hill up which the Main Street gently winds, give the village a striking character and appearance. Most of the buildings in the central area date from the 17th century onwards, predominantly 18th and 19th century and are made of red sandstone. The College in the south of the village is a late 15th century tower house and Grade I listed Building.

Doctors in training for medical specialist (AIOS) play a major role in the Dutch healthcare system. They are also responsible for a good quality of care. AIOS experienced their training period as a useful phase in their life, in which finding a balance between training, work and private-life plays an important role. The key question in the thesis is the prevalence of burnout in AIOS in The Netherlands.

Uncategorized Where Does Hybrid Technology Stand Today?
Where Does Hybrid Technology Stand Today?
New developments are promising, but we're not there yet.
By Dudley Dawson
Some critics would have us believe that the carbon footprint of a yacht is more like a boot print, recklessly stamped on the trampled environment. The fact is that yachting, because of its limited size in the global scale of things and because most yachts spend so little of their lives under way, comprises a very small percentage of man's impact on the earth. That doesn't, however, relieve us of doing what we can to help preserve the planet. We may be only a flea riding the rump of the pollution elephant, but we're still in the parade.
Hybrid propulsion systems have been proposed as one solution. They have been implemented in yachts of all sizes in recent years, from the 39-foot Island Pilot DSe to the 190-foot Royal Huisman Ethereal. Mochi Craft, a division of Ferretti Yachts, offers the 75-foot Long Range 23 with a hybrid option, albeit at a considerable premium.
It's most important to understand that, although hybrid cars and hybrid boats share the moniker and the basic concept of using an electric motor as a secondary means of propulsion, the two are different animals. As they are in cars, the propulsion systems of hybrid yachts are a combination of diesel or gas engines and electric motors, with big battery banks for energy storage. And as they can in cars, they can run quietly on electrical power for limited periods without engine power. But that is where the similarity ends.
Hybrid cars derive their economy, their "green benefits" if you will, by recovering the energy that would otherwise be wasted in braking and in coasting down hills and then storing it in batteries for later use. Hybrid yachts, on the other hand, don't have brakes and don't coast down hills, so just how green can they be?
Well, the answer is encouraging. Unlike cars, yachts have large housetops that can be covered with solar panels to produce electricity. Turbines and windmills can gather wind energy to drive dedicated generators. Propellers, whether on sailboats under way or on motoryachts at anchor in a current, can drive shaft-line generators to produce electricity for battery charging.
In addition to solar, wind and water power, near-shore cruisers and day boats can turn to the shoreside electric grid for charging batteries, a source that is more efficient and less costly than running onboard generators. Hornblower Yachts, a West Coast ferry company, operates its Alcatraz tour boat with contributions from solar power, wind turbines and shoreside power.
I know you sailing folks are feeling a bit smug right now, but you shouldn't be too comfortable with your environmental friendliness. Unlike cars, yachts — sail and motor alike — use a lot of power for what designers refer to as hotel loads: heating and cooling, watermaking, refrigeration, cooking, lighting and entertainment, for example. These loads can be substantial, as anyone who's tried to anchor out under battery power can attest. Whether powered directly as DC loads or through inverters as AC loads, the energy usage is the same, and it takes a lot of battery capacity to handle it.
So just where does hybrid technology stand today? I'd say it's progressing, but not there yet, at least not for most of us. I've spent hours aboard Ethereal, reviewing technical details with her crew, and it's clear she is arguably the most advanced hybrid yacht afloat. She not only boasts energy-producing and energy-recovery systems galore, but also has implemented innovative equipment and procedures to reduce energy consumption substantially. Even so, Bill Joy, her owner, refers to her as a "floating lab." Joy, a venture capitalist, is footing the bill for the research so the rest of us will be able to adopt the technology on a more affordable basis in coming years. It will be interesting to see where he leads us.

Australia's bad job of asylum seeker policy
Three recent developments in Australian treatment of asylum seekers are best studied for their symbolic value. They communicate clearly a dispiriting reality that underlies them.
The situation of asylum seekers on Nauru is a symbol of shambolic policy making. The proposed excision of the Australian mainland is a symbol of ethical jobbery. And the repatriation of asylum seekers without informing them of their rights to claim asylum is a symbol of despair.
You can tell bad policy making by the trail of broken human lives it leaves behind it. Bad policy made on the run almost always disturbs and damages human lives. The image of asylum seekers held in tents in the heat of Nauru, many on hunger strike and at least one now in risk of death, will surely be followed by images of people withering from depression and resentment and needing medical care to heal what has been wantonly broken.
The policy goal is to stop the boats, or to put it more kindly, to discourage people from coming by boat. The asylum seekers have been placed on Nauru before proper preparations can be made in order to ensure that they gain from coming by boat no advantage over other asylum seekers left in Indonesia. Their lack of advantage will encourage others not to make the boat trip.
The Government has yet to announce the precise exchange rate between the currencies of misery and lack of advantage.
So Nauru and Manus Island will hold people who were not stopped by the policy from coming by boat. If the policy actually increases the number of people arriving by boat, as it may, it will have achieved precisely the opposite to what it intended, at great cost to people and in resources.
This is not to mention the further details of the policy yet to be devised: the adjudication of their claims, any review there may be, and what will become of those found to be refugees. One may assume that these processes will be designed to ensure that the asylum seekers have no recourse to Australian law. Both people and the process itself will sink into a morass of arbitrariness. This is not the mark of good policy.
The excision of Australian mainland from the immigration zone simply extends legislation already in place. It is conceptually clever, displaying the same intelligence as the slicing and bundling of financial derivatives that gave us the Great Financial Crisis. There it allowed banks to make money without actually breaking the law.
The excision of Australia from the immigration zone enables Australia to renege on its commitment to offer asylum to those facing persecution by redefining Australia. The use of mind displayed in this game turns trust and justice into dust. This comes from the policy manual composed by spivs and mainchancers.
The repatriation of Sri Lankans without explaining to them their rights as asylum seekers is a symbol of despair in policy making. It is an exercise in naked power.
At the heart of good policy is the use of mind, of discriminating justly between those who should benefit from the policy and those who are not entitled to do so. Australia's subscription to the UNHCR Convention on the Status of Refugees commits Australia to offer protection to refugees who flee from persecution. Refugee policy decides which claimants are fleeing from persecution and how protection can be given them speedily and efficaciously.
To deport potential refugees without allowing them to make a claim is not an exercise of rational policy making but a confession of hope abandoned of ever acting reasonably and rightly. Power is all.
The heart of these three changes to Australia's treatment of refugees lies in an excision: not the fictive excision of migration rights from Australian territory, but the excision of mind and heart from the Australian body politic.

Thank you for continuing to speak strongly for the rights of vulnerable people who are being downtrodden in our name, as Australians. If we don't seek justice for the vulnerable and stand against what is unjust, we share the injustice.
jan tranter | 15 November 2012
Yes, I agree with that last phrase "excision of mind and heart from the Australian body politic". We have a siege mentality about asylum seekers in this country and it is a great shame on our government, and people, that we are prepared to inflict misery, and degradation, on those who are vulnerable - the very people who need acceptance. On my Leunig calendar for November are a man and his son on the seashore. The father says, "So what do you hear in the seashell?". Son replies, "I hear the sea level rising, I hear blue fin tuna being hunted, I hear boat people crying, I hear villages being swept away....I want my i-pod back".

Well said, well written. The key section for me is "The excision of Australian mainland from the immigration zone simply extends legislation already in place.

Jennifer Herrick | 15 November 2012
Thanks for challenging this grave injustice being done in our name.
In my view, Australia lost its way when its politicians and officials failed to fully recognise that asylum seeking, in the context of its international legal obligations ( 1951 UN Refugee Convention), is separate from its national migration policy and framework which exists to "nation build", and recruit immigrants in the national interest.
This year the Migration Program is projected to be 210 000 people/visas of which 20 000 are "humanitarian visas". The Humanitarian Program was designed as a migration sub program of selected refugees from "over there"- the chosen few from the UNHCR pools of mandated refugees requiring priority resettlement. Each year UNHCR identifies between 60 000 and 100 000 refugees for resettlement. Up take varies with economic circumstances in resettlement countries . Australia chose 6 000 until the recent program increase, an increase specifically to accommodate the proven refugees who came in a disorderly fashion, by boat and asked for our protection- and their claims were well founded.
We maintain the concept that selected refugees chosen from UNHCR pools of refugees are the "good" refugees, who wait in a non existing queue. These are the "refugee migrants" resettled with the best resettlement services in the world- a record we can be proud of.
The increase to 12 000 refugee places this year – a defacto bipartisan agreement - is recognition that most boatpeople when processed, meet the same refugee convention criteria as the UNHCR pool refugees in Africa, Malaysia ,Middle East. The concept of asylum seekers as "bad" refugees, who select themselves instead of being selected by us, should therefore wane in the public perception. Will it?
The humanitarian tragedy is that the humanitarian visa quota ( now 8 000 places pa ) is enormously oversubscribed, and wives and children wait for years to be reunited with husbands/father who came alone because it was so dangerous, so costly. This is an Immigration queue- applications for family reunion – and it was estimated to be between 5 and 7 years of waiting before the increased quota was announced . What is the estimate wait now?
The frightful prediction is that from here on, families who need to flee persecution will do so as a family. More potential loss of lives at sea of women, children and men. And there is no question that the situation for Afghan asylum seekers/refugees residing in both Iran and Pakistan are being squeezed, and going back to a Taliban dominated Afghanistan is a death trap for Hazara.
"Turn back the boats" was always "stop these uninvited people coming in a disorderly fashion". Asylum seekers challenge the set quotas in a migration program. By its very nature, escaping persecution is a messy, often spontaneous and dangerous matter and while this is recognised in the UN Refugees Convention, Australian politicians and their advisors are offended by this challenge to their control. They want to select who comes to Australia. You can see that the migration framework is not a good fit for asylum seekers. Asylum claims should be managed outside this migration framework.
A current conspiracy theory is that because asylum seekers are foreigners, often Muslims and have no voice, no complaints mechanism, they are expendable , and caving in to Abbott's relentless badgering "pick up the phone" and "stop the boats", Gillard and Co have called their bluff in order to prove that the advice they were given by the then Secretary of Immigration was well founded. Andrew Metcalfe told the Senate Cttee that Nauru a second time would not work, for sundry reasons. The information was well and truly "in", after the unmitigated disaster last time which was why the Pacific non Solution was disbanded in 2008.
We are seeing some of the reasons emerge, through the voices and images sent via facebook, and through the compassionate Salvos telling the truth about conditions they have experienced and the persecution claims heard from the 400 men now held in detention on Nauru. These 400 are not nearly as "out of sight, out of mind" as the 1 500 who passed through Nauru 2001-2008.
The bottom line for us is that the signature Bob Menzies, Prime Minister, put on the UN Refugee Convention in 1954 for ALL Australians is legally binding, and we should protect those who cross our borders claiming persecution, assess their claims and treat them with human dignity. Other civilised nations do this.
About 11 000 Syrians fled into neighbouring countries on one day last weekend. We have made a mountain out of a mole hill, with our average of less than 6 000 asylum seekers coming by boat ( not plane) in the five years of a Labor Government. Just count the $ billions, and ask what for? Bad job? Scandalous! Incompetent governance.
Frederika Steen | 15 November 2012
Andrew if this article was on the front page of newspapers with some pictures there would be much sadness in the community. Problem is we have this out of sight, out of mind mentality. A concerted media effort to expose the plight of refugees on Nauru is needed and much lobbying in order to change the way things are being done. This is such a young country with a short history of government, perhaps the emotional intelligence of our politicians is not yet mature enough to deal with large numbers of refugees, perhaps it's easier to keep them off shore and out of sight. A compassionate government with mature intelligence would allow them on the mainland and let those people who can work into society with a temporary protection visa. Perhaps women and children can be integrated with host families.
Trish Martin | 15 November 2012
Well put. The 'no advantage' argument is proving to be no deterrent either to those fleeing persecution or those simply desperate for a better life.
Robert Smith | 15 November 2012
How do we Australians who are ashamed of our Govt's scandalous policy on refugees do something practical, apart from writing into Eureka St. Can we organise a massive public demonstration, informing the Govt. enough is enough! We will not stand for this blatant injustice towards those already vulnerable and hurting. We have voting power... the Govt. needs to hear from us. Our success lies in our numbers, getting together to make a stance. Evil happens when good people do nothing ! How can we bring a huge demonstration to fruition, to show how much we are ashamed of our Government's policies. Any ideas?
Bernie Introna | 15 November 2012
Thank-you Andy. Once again you have stated so clearly the grave injustice that these people are suffering. Where has our compassion gone?
anne | 16 November 2012
I am a refugee who came after 13th of August to Australia..we suffered a lot in our home country and escaped to Australia with the hope of protection..i respect the Australian law and i am not saying that this country should give us visas in the very first moment that we arrived..but it is not fair to send us to a pacific tiny island and keep us there for may be five years..now our future is uncertain and living without knowing anything about what will happen tommorow is kind of torture.
ANDREW with this article touched my heart and it was the first time that i hear or read something and i feel it is talking on bahalf of refugees..at least there is some one in AUSTRALIA who knows what is happening for us and feel sympathy for us..excuse me if my English was not very good..thank u.
H | 16 November 2012
I work daily with new asylum seekers and totally endorse the views that those with truthful claims and no other pathway to protection should be given an opportunity to access some of Australia's intake positions. These people should be embraced and assured of fairness.
The motivation to do the latter is, sadly, diluted by the mix of people who present on boats as persecuted. Some believe they have claims, coming from genuine suffering, but will not qualify legally, so no malice to them, just an observation that it is extremely expensive legal advice they wind up getting when sent back to source.
Others, who really are to blame for diluting our reception welcome are the number who know very well that they do not have legitimate claims, but because they can bribe officials, employ criminal smugglers, destroy evidence of identity and break maritime laws come as imposters, some of them smugglers impersonating the persecuted. Some exploit their government's refusal to accept failed asylum seekers back if not returned voluntarily. These ones may be assessed as qualified, despite considerable doubt, thereby displacing many about whom there is no doubt of persecution. Why are you not outraged by such a crime against humanity?
What do you say when the latter obtain permanent residency, and then cackle to themselves as they return here from holidays in the country from which they recently 'fled'? Are you deliberately ignorant of these cases, or do I have insider information?

Say that you were on the brink of proving the Twin Prime conjecture or the Goldbach conjecture, and your final chapter in the proof, where everything fit together, needed to show that a certain function increased at a slower rate than some other function. If you used this approximation for the amount of primes between $x$ and $2x$, $\frac{x}{\ln x}$ as one of your functions, would your proof still be valid? And if not, is there a similar function you could use that might achieve the same effect without assuming that the Riemann Hypothesis is true? By "same effect" I mean, a more correct function.

A: When you're trying to do original research in mathematics, no tools are off the table. You can assume the prime number theorem, Fermat's last theorem, and all kinds of other major results which have been proved. In fact, you can even assume results which have not been proved, provided that you make this clear in the statement of your theorem. For example, a conditional proof of the twin prime conjecture on the Riemann hypothesis would certainly be publishable, even though it wouldn't resolve the conjecture (until RH is eventually proved).
But as has been pointed out in the comments, it's unlikely that this sort of black box approach will be sufficient to solve major existing problems. It seems far more likely that you'd need to bring in elements from the proof of the prime number theorem (suitably modified).

Kevin Blair Spirtas was born in St. Louis, Missouri on July 29, 1962. He began his career on stage as a song and dance man in the Palace Show at Six Flags over Mid-America in 1980. It was the show's finale, "One Step", that made Kevin a star in St. Louis.
His early work was credited under the name Kevin Blair until 1995 when he began using the name Kevin Spirtas professionally. Kevin came to Broadway performing as Mike Costa in A Chorus Line and as Warren Sheffield in Meet Me in St. Louis. By 1996 he had been hailed with the Dramalogue Critics Award for his portrayal of Nick Brenner in the comedy "End of the World Party" in Los Angeles. He worked his way into films as a stunt performer as his expertise grew into the genre of drama and mystery as well as horror films in Part VII of the classic feature Friday the 13th.
His numerous television appearances began in 1984 on the late-night series Rituals. Throughout the 80's and 90's, Kevin's wide array of TV portrayals continued, ranging from participating as a celebrity contestant on Search Party to playing his now well-known Daytime character "Dr. Craig Wesley" on the sitcom, Friends.
Kevin added Daytime to his credits when he appeared as Les on The Young and the Restless in 1997. In 1997 he also joined the cast of Days of our Lives as Dr. Craig Wesley, a part he continued to play until being released from his contract in 2003.

got my work-out out of the way....bout to start cooking a pelau... then I go to a bartending class later and hopefully I'll get to drink my lesson...then come back home and chill.
What you got going on today?
oh and there's a Saints game tonight..... woohoo!!!
i had a bunch of stuff planned to do, but for the life of me i cant remember what i am suppose to do..
so option 2, is work for a few hours in my home office then go to the gym up the road for a bit and then head out to Sephora early evening.
yep positivity is the order of the day....all those black this and that, woman and man this and that threads are seriously draining.
Busted it wide open at lunch yesterday My goddaughter called and wanted to have lunch with me. I said no at first but then the disappointment in her voice just about killed me, so I relented!
Freakin pigged out I tell you but I just had smoothies and raw vegetables for the rest of the day.
yes, it is a bit tiring. The rain makes me feel chill and existential so I cant deal with them kinda topics today.
Seems like that gulf storm is affecting weather patterns all the way out here from what the news is saying now. Just got some info on it b/c rain wasnt originally predicted for today!
I like lots of her recipe ideas but I like you said, she herself puts me to sleep. That house of hers and where it is situated, I tell you, I would kill her for it if I could get away with it!
food did taste good eh!
aint her two friends gay?? the two men she always invites over?
now that u mention I think so!
sometimes she has her hubby at the table too. Havent watched it in a long while so my memory is a bit fuzzy.
last night I made hummus for the first time and I am eating now. Other than being a little *salty* I did a good job!


Back in 2010, the ADA Council on Scientific Affairs endorsed routine visual and tactile examinations in all patients during dental appointments (JADA, May 2010, Vol. 141:5, pp. 509-520).
On the ADA website it states in the dental check-up guidelines that an oral cancer screening should be performed. So, why is oral cancer continually being diagnosed late?
In memory of Ann, 1962-2013.
Last week, Ann died, less than one year after complaining about the ulcer on her tongue that didn't heal. She was a lobbyist on capitol hill for PhARMA, a mother who left behind 3 young children. Who is responsible? Is it the dentist who didn't think the ulcer was anything to worry about? Is it the oral surgeon who didn't take enough of the cancerous tissue? Is it the other dentist who treated her pain with TMJ treatments? Was it the ENT who didn't show concern? Is it the pathologist who should have requested to see more tissue? Or, is it the ADA who does not impart to dentists the importance of their responsibility to patients in performing a thorough oral cancer screening and keeping up-to-date on the early signs.
How many individuals have to be disfigured for life, unable to smile, speak, drool, kiss, lick, chew, swallow, taste, feel attractive…OR DIE until something changes?
Ann, rest in peace and know that Six-Step Screening will continue to work hard in your memory so the same doesn't happen to others.


The 4-Chip is a new style of disposable plastic hemocytometer that improves upon our popular C-Chip design. With twice as many tests at almost the same price as the 2-chamber version, this product effectively cuts your lab's cost by nearly half. It's easier to use too! With a conventional glass hemocytometer, improper fit between coverslip and slide can change the volume of the sample in the chamber causing variability in counts. Moreover, these "unretained" samples may lead to cross-contamination—or far worse, expose researchers to infectious agents. The 4-Chip's all-in-one chamber with an integrated coverslip solves this problem. The 4-Chip contains four precision-engineered 100 µm height counting chambers that do not need coverslips. Each chamber has a micro-etched Neubauer Improved grid. Simply pipette 6µl of sample into one of the four chambers, place on the microscope, and you're ready to count. No more tiresome washing, either—just throw it away when you're finished! It's that simple.

ParisDailyPhoto: Miniature Eiffel Tower war!
I went out yesterday! I went out and had a nice walk in Paris, only to find out that the miniature Eiffel Tower war is not yet over! Everywhere you can find a vendeur à la sauvette (street hawker) that will sell you for 1,50 € a small ET replica that you would buy for twice this price in a real store... The police is supposed to chase them, but judging from what I saw yesterday, they are not doing a great job ;-) Maybe because there are more important battles worth fighting for in the streets of Paris?!
Sorry but, what happen with those miniatures?
Are they different from the usual miniatures?.
I agree, there's more important work to be done. And I'm glad I got my little Eiffel Tower, though I don't remember if I bought it on the street or not. Probably!
At first, I thought this was a game of Chess!
If I ever get to Paris, I must buy one!
Maybe the cops are stationed on the foot bridges. No love locks!
As long as they're selling ETs and not "love locks" (though I've never bought anything from the street vendors). Glad to see that you're out and about, Eric!

U.S. to Restrict Travel from 8 African Countries over COVID Variant Fears
Joshua Caplan
The U.S. will restrict travel for non-U.S. citizens from South Africa and seven other countries on Monday after the World Health Organization (W.H.O.) labeled a new coronavirus strain a "variant of concern."
The U.S. will also restrict travel from the following African nations: Botswana, Zimbabwe, Namibia, Lesotho, Eswatini, Mozambique and Malawi.
CNBC reports:
[The] World Health Organization assigned the newly identified variant the Greek letter omicron and formally recognized the strain, previously referred to as lineage B.1.1.529, as a "variant of concern."
Health experts are deeply concerned about the transmissibility of the omicron variant given that it has an unusual constellation of mutations and a profile that is different from other variants of concern. It is not clear how severe infections would be for vaccinated patients.
It is feared a sharp upswing of Covid cases in South Africa's Gauteng province — where the heavily mutated strain of the virus was first identified — could mean it has greater potential to escape prior immunity than other variants.
President Joe Biden issued a statement addressing U.S.'s decision to restrict travel, calling the move a "precautionary measure" until additional information on the variant emerges.
"This morning I was briefed by my chief medical advisor, Dr. Tony Fauci, and the members of our COVID response team, about the Omicron variant, which is spreading through Southern Africa," Biden said in a statement. "As a precautionary measure until we have more information, I am ordering additional air travel restrictions from South Africa and seven other countries. These new restrictions will take effect on November 29. As we move forward, we will continue to be guided by what the science and my medical team advises."
"For now, I have two important messages for the American people, and one for the world community.First, for those Americans who are fully vaccinated against severe COVID illness – fortunately, for the vast majority of our adults — the best way to strengthen your protection is to get a booster shot, as soon as you are eligible," the president continued. "Boosters are approved for all adults over 18, six months past their vaccination and are available at 80,000 locations coast-to-coast. They are safe, free, and convenient. Get your booster shot now, so you can have this additional protection during the holiday season.Second, for those not yet fully vaccinated: get vaccinated today."
"In addition, I call on the nations gathering next week for the World Trade Organization ministerial meeting to meet the U.S. challenge to waive intellectual property protections for COVID vaccines, so these vaccines can be manufactured globally. I endorsed this position in April; this news today reiterates the importance of moving on this quickly," he concluded.
The U.S.'s decision to restrict travel from the African countries comes after similar comes by European Union, United Kingdom, and Canada.
"All air travel to these countries should be suspended until we have a clear understanding about the danger posed about this new variant and travelers returning from these regions should respect strict quarantine rules,"European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said.

The Goldbergs delayed: ABC sitcom to go off air in lengthy scheduling shake-up
03/12/2021 TV & Movies Comments Off on The Goldbergs delayed: ABC sitcom to go off air in lengthy scheduling shake-up
The Goldbergs: ABC release trailer for season eight
NBC's hit period comedy The Goldbergs returned to screens in September with their ninth season. Although ratings appeared to be going well, the series will face a major mid-season delay and go off air in a lengthy scheduling shake-up.
The Goldbergs is a popular American sitcom which transports viewers back to the '80s to give viewers an insight into Adam Goldberg's (played by Sean Giambrone) childhood.
As the youngest child, he retells his unconventional life with an overbearing mother, hot-tempered father, rebellious older sister, high-strung older brother and suave grandfather.
Using his parent's camcorder, Adam started his film-making career by recording his eccentric suburban family, which captured tons of wild antics.
With viewers nine seasons in, the show will take a lengthy break for reasons unknown.
After episode nine titled 'Tennis People' aired on Wednesday, it was noted the network the series was missing from ABC's TV listings.
Cartermatt.com reported: "There is no new episode next week, or the week after."
Due to the unexpected break, it is unlikely The Goldbergs will return to regular scheduling before Christmas.
Thankfully the network confirmed the series would be returning on January Wednesday 5, alongside other comedies ABC had delayed.
The delay came as a surprise to fans while others took to Twitter to share their upset at the shake-up.
Salvador15 wrote: "I didn't know this is the last episode of #TheGoldbergs of 2021 and there's no Christmas episode.
"That was a fun episode. Now I'm sad. No more new episodes until Jan," tweeted WVMAN_1974.
MermaidSailor shared: "That was great, can't wait for the new eps in the new year!"
Season nine opened on an emotional note as the family were mourning the death of Albert "Pops" Solomon (George Segal).
The 87-year-old actor passed away in March after suffering complications with his bypass surgery.
The cast and crew had released a statement ahead of the show's return: "On behalf of everyone at The Goldbergs, we are devastated at the loss of our dear friend, George.
"He was kind, sweet, beyond talented and funny. George was the true epitome of class and he touched all of our lives so deeply."
It continued: "It was an honour and a privilege to have him as a colleague and friend all of these years. It is no surprise to any of us that knew him so well that he is a true national treasure."
Elsewhere, season nine also saw the family planning Erica Goldberg's (Hayley Orrantia) wedding.
Hayley hinted at a wedding episode during an interview with Hollywood Life: "I have a feeling closer to the end of the season, you might see the actual wedding."
With the mid-season finale, fans can anticipate the wedding could potentially air at the start of the new year.
The Goldbergs returns to ABC on Wednesday, January 5.

Lightning 16s win Hall of Fame Classic crown
Bishop Loughlin's Khadeen Carrington led the New York Lightning to the Hall of Fame Classic Spring Classic 16U crown over the weekend. Denis Gostev
Khadeen Carrington took another step toward this weekend toward establishing himself as one of the nation's top sophomores by leading the New York Lightning to the Basketball Hall of Fame Spring Classic crown in Springfield, Mass.
The Bishop Loughlin standout scored 32 points as the Lightning 16U topped Connecticut Select, 67-65, in the championship for its first title of the spring AAU season.
"Week-in and week-out, he's proven he's a high-level guy," Lightning coach Chris Williams said. "If there was an MVP in the division, it would've been him. He really just changed the game with his quickness and athleticism. He shot the ball really well from 3 [point-range]. He also did a great job on defense."
The Lightning won five games altogether, two in pool play and three in the playoffs. They knocked off the New Rens of New York City, 87-74, in the semifinals and also beat Teamwork Basketball (Conn.), Southern Tier Rage (N.Y.), 75-54, and Basketbull, 76-70,
In addition to Carrington, St. Raymond sophomore Shawn Jones stood out, scoring 25 points in the final. He also made two of the game's biggest plays on the defensive end, coming up with two steals. Jones' teammate with St. Ray's, wing Kayvon Williams, also had a big final after an inconsistent weekend. Forward Thomas Holley of Christ the King and point guard Andrew Walker of St. Anthony's (L.I.) also performed well for the Lightning.
"This is by far the best we played [this spring] and the funny thing is, we won the championship, but I still feel like we haven't scratched the surface of how good we can be as a group," Williams said. "We're finally healthy. That was big."
The Lightning will be in Atlanta, Ga., Memorial Day weekend for the Nike Memorial Classic.

If you caught the Tropical-Inspired Bridal Shower we shared, then you surely noticed the gorgeous, colorful balloon arch at the shower! Lucky for you, this post includes the step-by-step instructions and supply list so you can DIY your very own floral ballon arch!
Not only do we love balloons here are GWS, but we're huge fans of Afloral – our silk flower partner for this project (and SO many others)! We were inspired to created this piece by our friend Brittany who created this stunner of a balloon arch (and she has a great DIY for those looking for a larger balloon arch using chicken wire!). For our twist on our version of this DIY, we used silk flowers. The bonus of using silk flowers….you can set this up a day or two in advance and it will still look great when your guests first lay eyes on it!!
Carefully select the place in which you'll be displaying your work of art, then prepare to attach your balloon decorating strip. This step is critical, as it will create the foundation for your arch and if not secured properly, you'll have issues later on.
Before securing it for installation, be sure to decide which shape you'd like the arch to be, it will be hard to change midway through. Your arch could be hanging to the side like ours, or have multiple swoops in it, whatever you want….have fun with it!
When installing ours for the first time, we learned that adhering it with a staple gun nicely secured the strip so it would support the full weight of the balloons.
Blow up the balloons (pro-tip: top save time on on installation day, you can make this step 1 and inflate your balloons the night prior). We suggest filling your balloons with air instead of helium, helium will make your arch to swing upwards and we like the natural look of the balloons gently falling back toward the ground.
Before you begin installing the balloons, take a quick look at them all blown up to consider which will be used for background, which are for highlights and which are a nice size to fill in any gap. Then decide if you want your balloons displays in a strict pattern or if you'd like them to appear more random and organic (which we did). To save yourself from drama and coverage issues later in the process, we suggest installing the biggest balloons first, as the smaller ones present you more options for placement as your arch takes shape.
This may seem obvious, but the holes in the strip are your friend, so be sure to use them! The holes allow you to pull the balloons through (see photo on the right above).
At this point you should have a full arch. Now use the smallest balloons to fill in the gaps or spots that need a bit more color. Since you're arch should be pretty full, it's likely you'll need to attach these little guys with glue dots (your new best friend for this DIY!) directly to other balloons, they don't need to be attached to your balloon strip.
Step 4 – Add Pretty with Flowers!
Finally, we get to begin filling arch with flowers. We suggest buying flowers that are light weight. Long vine greens are perfect because they can be attached to the balloon strip or installed using the holes in the strip just like the balloons. If you do use heavier flowers, be sure to attach them directly to the strip with string for extra support.
We started with the greens first and then filled in with flowers (these can be attached using glue dots as well). Play around until you have an arch that you love!
If you make your own Floral Balloon Arch with AFloral using these steps or supplies, we'd love to see how it turns out, so please share on Instagram along with the hashtag #GreenWeddingShoesDIY. We'll regram our faves!
This is so cute!! Loved how this turned out!
What a great way to add some color!! I love this!
such a lovely piece to bring some fun and colors!
This is absolutely beautiful! Looks grand, yet so easy and economical!
This is fabulous! Doesn't look too hard to do and would make for a great last minute decor detail. Love this!

WoW..This is amazing! So creative and beautiful balloon arch for home birthday party decoration. I love it and for next party definitely going to do decoration like that. Love it.
This looks great, thanks for the inspiration!

O termo australopitecíneo refere-se geralmente a qualquer espécie relacionada aos gênero Australopithecus e Paranthropus. Pode também incluir Kenyanthropus, Ardipithecus,Praeanthropus, Orrorin, Sahelanthropus, e Graecopithecus. O termo deriva de uma classificação antiga que considerava esses gêneros em uma subfamília separada, Australopithecinae. Agora, o termo se refere a uma subtribo, Australopithecina, incluída na tribo Hominini. Membros do gênero Australopithecus são às vezes referidos como "australopitecíneos gráceis", enquanto que do gênero Paranthropus são chamados de "australopitecíneos robustos".

Os australopitecíneos ocorreram entre o Plioceno e Pleistoceno, e eram bípedes e a dentição similar ao dos humanos, mas não possuím o cérebro muito maior que dos modernos chimpanzés, com encefalização menor do que observado no gênero Homo. Humanos provavelmente descendeem de australopitecíneos, enquanto que o gênero Ardipithecus é provável ancestral dos australopitecíneos.

With the start of fall classes less than three weeks away, the construction season is winding down at Penn State New Kensington.
For the past five months, the campus has undergone a series of renovations to improve safety and accessibility, and to upgrade existing facilities. The most visible projects are redesigned areas -- Café 780 courtyard and the Junction coffee bar. By the start of classes, most projects will be completed, and students will be able to reap the benefits.
For more information on campus projects, contact Randy Tressler at 724-334-6122 or art3@psu.edu.
Café 780 Courtyard
A pergola, constructed off the side entrance of the Café 780, will give the courtyard a more intimate feel. Also known as an arbor, a pergola is a type of gazebo that features a shaded sitting area of vertical posts and cross-beams supporting open lattice. The lattice will be covered with woody vines. In addition, the courtyard will feature a new fire pit, along with new furniture. New trees will be planted and new lighting installed. The bulk of the work is expected to be completed by Aug. 23 with the finishing touches, such as benches, remaining to be installed.
Junction Coffee Bar
Located in the lobby of the main entrance, the new coffee bar has the look of a mini-Starbucks and will serve Starbucks products. The upgrades will allow the Junction to enhance services. Operated by AVI, the campus food service, the Junction complements the campus cafeteria, Cafe 780, as a breakfast, lunch and dinner destination for the campus and local business communities. The bar serves coffee, latte and cappuccino, hot and iced, as well as flavored smoothies. Featured items include bagels, sandwiches, muffins, cookies, pasties, yogurt, fruit salads and fresh fruit. Delivery of the flooring is the main culprit to the Junction not opening in time for the start of fall classes. It should be operational in September.
Athletics Center
Among upgrades to the Athletics Center are air conditioning for the basketball court, wrestling room, racquetball court and the new pilates/yoga room. Replete with mirrors and a sound system, the pilates room should be ready when classes begin. However, the project is awaiting heating, ventilation and air conditioning equipment, which may delay occupancy of the building until September.
BET/Rad Sci Labs
The fully-equipped student Intensive Care Unit lab for the Biomedical Engineering Technology program will be completely renovated. The work will improve safety and allow for more hands-on instruction. The new equipment has arrived and should be ready for the first day of classes. Many improvements have also been made to the Radiological Sciences lab.
Sustainability Projects
Sustainable and environmentally-friendly additions -- development of a composting site and expansion of the pollinator garden -- are on schedule. The two projects are funded by an $11,000 grant to the campus Green team by the Sustainable Institute at Penn State.
New exterior doors and renovations of Room 132 are slated for the Engineering building. Both will be open for classes while the finishing touches are applied. In addition, the final phase of the exterior lighting and external signage projects is now complete.

Trump banished the baby, humiliated the mother
By Julie Scharper
First, he says he loves babies. Then he says he was kidding and has his staff escort the child out.
Editor's note: Since this piece was first published Aug. 3, the mother of the crying baby has said she was not in fact ejected from the facility, but was in the process of stepping outside with her child when Mr. Trump suggested she leave, which she understood to be a joke.
"Don't worry about that baby. I love babies," Donald Trump said. "I hear that baby crying, I like it. What a baby, what a beautiful baby. Don't worry, don't worry."
And then, moments later, his tone changed.
"Actually, I was only kidding. You can get that baby out of here," he said. "Don't worry, I think she really believed me that I love having a baby crying while I'm speaking."
I heard this on the radio as I was driving yesterday — my own baby whining in the back seat — and my cheeks burned for that mother.
The headlines have focused on the baby, the irony of a politician banishing a baby. But the story is really about how Mr. Trump humiliated the mother, who was there, presumably, because she supports him.
The baby won't remember this and won't care, but the mother will carry the shame for a long time. As any parent or grandparent or aunt or uncle or older sibling knows, it's extremely embarrassing to hold a crying baby in a public place. Everyone's eyes are on you, full of blame, even though a baby's mood is only slightly more controllable than the weather.
I imagine this mother waited a long time to get into the Trump rally. She probably brought her baby because she hoped Mr. Trump would kiss her baby, pose for a photo. I'm sure she was horrified when the baby started crying, but hoped the usual tricks would calm him. I'm sure she didn't want to leave and lose her place. I'm sure she took Mr. Trump at his word when he said, "Don't worry."
Instead, Mr. Trump humiliated this mother in front of the crowd. He belittled her for taking him at his word. "I think she really believed me," he said. Strange words for someone who punctuates his speeches with, "Believe me."
It's a bully's game, manipulative and mean. Lie and then taunt someone for trusting you. If Mr. Trump would sum up his campaign in a few words, perhaps they would be, "I think they really believed me."

Reduce in-cabin noise and improve the appearance of your WRX or STI! For reasons that are a mystery to us, Subaru chose not to install a trim panel on the underside of the passenger side footwell in the 2015+ WRX and STI. Other Subaru cars have a panel there, which serves to neaten up the appearance and to reduce the sound output of the climate control blower fan that sits in there.
Our kit includes the plastic trim panel (with attached sound-absorbing mat) plus two push clips to help attach it. Installation is extremely simple, taking only a minute and requiring no tools.
