Generaloberst (Coronel General) fue en Alemania y Austria-Hungría —el Reichswehr alemán y la Wehrmacht, el ejército austrohúngaro, y el Ejército Popular Nacional de la Alemania Oriental, así como sus respectivos cuerpos de policía— el segundo grado más alto del generalato, por encima de general pero por debajo de mariscal de campo. Era equivalente al Generaladmiral en la Kriegsmarine hasta 1945, o al Flottenadmiral en la Volksmarine hasta 1990. El rango era el más alto grado militar ordinario y el rango militar más alto concedido en tiempo de paz; el rango más alto de mariscal de campo solo era concedido en tiempo de guerra por el jefe del estado. En general, un Generaloberst tenía los mismos privilegios que un general mariscal de campo.

Ejército austrohúngaro

En 1915 el grado de Generaloberst - Vezérezredes fue introducido en el Ejército austrohúngaro. Era el segundo grado más alto después del grado de Feldmarschall - Tábornagy.

The Casa Museo Boschi Di Stefano is a historic house museum situated in Via Jan where 300 works from the Boschi Di Stefano collection may be viewed. Antonio Boschi (1896-1988) and Marieda Di Stefano (1901-1968) as well being husband and wife also shared a passion for modern Italian art and became avid collectors. Their collection containing a total of 2,000 pieces was donated to the City of Milan in 1974.
The collection on display comprises paintings, sculptures and drawings with pieces dating from the first decade of the 20th century up to the late 1960s, organised chronologically by room. It includes works by Severini, Boccioni, Funi, Marussig, Tozzi, Carrà, Casorati, Sironi, Martini and Morandi.
The house museum is located in a small block of apartments from the 1930s by the architect Piero Portaluppi. The interiors, restored by the City of Milan, were fitted and furnished by the Boschi Di Stefano Foundation, established in 1998.

ABOUT | PONT
PRESPA OHRID NATURE TRUST
The Prespa Ohrid region is regarded as one of Europe's most ecologically valuable areas. The Prespa Ohrid lake basin is a refuge for many rare and endemic species as well as many cultural and historical monuments.
ΡΟΝΤ was established in 2015 with funding from MAVA Foundation and the German Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), which is working through KfW Development Bank to support the increasing environmental needs of the Prespa Ohrid region and respond to the lack of sufficient funding for conservation efforts.
As a conservation trust fund, PONT will be able to provide long-term sustainable financing to the region's national parks and local environmental actors.
PONT's Mission is to "provide long-term financing for the conservation and sustainable management of biological diversity, natural processes and ecosystem services in Prespa and its wider area for the benefit of nature and people in the region."
In accordance with its mission and role, PONT seeks to:
Invest and raise funds aiming to generate complementary funding and provide long-term financial support to conservation initiatives.
Co-finance key conservation actions, as a solid partner providing funding continuity for its beneficiaries, thereby contributing to long-term conservation objectives.
Incite regional stakeholders and environmental actors to improve the quality and efficiency of management and to use the provided co-funding to reach the optimal impact on biodiversity conservation. This increases also their chances of receiving funding in the future.
Promote transboundary cooperation and a collective ecoregional approach.
Raise public environmental awareness and community engagement.
Engage with governments to leverage funding and political commitments towards conservation.
PONT is a transboundry conservation trust fund. As a trust fund, PONT's approach to conservation differs from the standard "project based" or "short-term" solutions. PONT's funding is long-term and designed to ensure the sustainable management of the Prespa Ohrid ecoregion. Our model emphasizes long-term commitment, transparency, accountability and collaboration.
PONT combines investment income from its endowment with other available capital and annual donations to generate grant-making resources for the protected areas and environmental actors, including civil society, municipalities and science/academic institutions addressing nature protection in the region.
PONT raises and manages funds for the allocation of conservation grants supported by a rigorous monitoring and evaluation program, as well as to leverage collaboration, political commitment and funding towards the achievement of its mission.
Over the last 20 years more than 50 conservation trust funds have been created around the globe, aiming to ameliorate environmental management primarily on a national level. To date there are only 8 transboundary conservation trust funds including PONT. PONT is the first transboundary conservation trust fund in the Balkans.
PONT provides grants to the national parks and civil society organizations working to conserve the Prespa Ohrid ecoregion.
Initially PONT will focus its funding on the Prespa lakes basin, including the six protected areas surrounding them. This area covers the most significant biodiversity features of the Prespa lakes and their surroundings.
PONT aims to expand its work beyond the Prespa region to include the Ohrid lake basin, this step will be based on available resources and in line with PONT's mission and objectives.

Wow! Awesome stuff. Me like, me like a lot.
Will there be more skins??
1. In all folders without "Wiki" appendix members can post articles: The articles can be edited only by the creator.
2. In the category Wiki: Character Strategies you can post both Versus Strategies and Strategies of other characters than Yoshimitsu. I think I will make two separate subcategories there.
2. In all "Wiki" folders all members can post tutorials that can be edited by other members. Of course the pages have a history so if somebody spoils your work, he will be banned, and your article retrieved.
3. In the main Manji Dojo folder there's "Strategy blog". All members can post their articles there. The Articles can be edited only by article creators.
Now, Members and Tekken Fans will have to wait until validation. All levels above those will have their entries automatically validated.
Yes, I like the new look very much. I knew to expect something like this (thanks for the sneak previews, Tenshi! but this really blew my mind. Of course, it takes some time to get used to the new look and the new operations, but the site, like Yoshimitsu himself, keeps evolving and bettering itself.
By the way, where did you get those cute Chibi Yoshis? Or did you make them by yourself? They're cool.
No, I'm not good enough to make such chibi Yoshi's: I have taken them from one Japanese site, which link I put in our links section as thank-you gift... I think I will make a picture banner and put it in our Affiliates for better view.
Do you like the font in pages and comments? Sometimes I find myself hard to concentrate on it... maybe I should change it to the old one, but maybe bigger?
Ah yes, now I can see all the things (I also thank you for the lil pre-premier). All is just so modern and organised, it's just perfect. So far no bugs and I hope there won't be any. Keep up the great work!
I feel kind of ashamed admitting that i've first found out about the new yTS-site two weeks ago. None of my links were working, and so i thought the site was permanently down. But i was, to my surprise wrong - it was back, and has been for quite some time. Well... Happy to find out i was wrong!
I really like the new site, and the design is just awesome! It's easy to navigate around, and the new design to the forum is just what we've been needing. The old design wasn't that good, and too long user names would extend the width of the posts, making it harder to read through posts and such.
- Although it annoys me you aren't able to double-post (that could be useful - at least since editing old posts don't make them re-appear!). I'd perfeer the double post function. But dispite that, i really find it to my liking!
- I just love the new design! yaaaaaay!
@Unknown: if we had double posting, YOT would always be getting spam mail in the froums.
I think that's why Tenshi does not let no one double post twice in a row and if you ask me it is sensible.
Yea - true that, but still! :blush - besides, thats what our admins are here for... THAT, and warning annoying people like meh!
Just want to inform that the signature's default colour is close to blending in with the default background.
Maybe changing the default colour to a darker shade would help. Then again it could just be my computer .
EDIT: This website has continuously improved and such dedication to the maintenance of this website can be seen in all aspects. This latest improvement was quite overwhelming for me, since it I haven't been contributing as much (but was observing mind you ^_^).
I hope that you (you meaning Tenshi, Koga, Dinaga and I can't think of other moderators/adminstrators >_<) do feel it was a job done well and wish you (Youse?) will continue to become inspired and improve your PHP internet thingymajigi skills.
@ perodious: you are not seing things on your computer all of our signtures do blend in.
It's high time to start talking about the new YOT skin! What do we want ppl???
New theme in my vision will be darker and will be a mix of modernity and tradition: just like I imagine the spirit of Yoshimitsu. It will be mono-dark in various blends of grey, with colourful accents of captions and font here and there (different leading colour in each section). Also, I plan to make some artwork specially for the theme. I hope they will be of good quality.
The new theme will be something you might not expect.

This is due to the fact that it's getting a clear picture of what the nation's drinking water looks like. So more to come on this part of the story in the future!
Although and on another note, showering is one of the leading ways Americans use water in the home, accounting for nearly 17 percent of all residential indoor water use, or about 30 gallons per household per day. That's about 1.2 trillion gallons of water every year in the United States!
More importantly, the Trump Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is declaring all-out war on the nation's water and air. Most noteworthy the water and it's ironically tasked with protecting. So instead of hiring people who are going to protect America's ecosystem, Trump is installing some of the EPA's biggest antagonists. Seems similarly who are dismantling the agency piece by piece.
The result is likewise an unprecedented ecological disaster within the United States. That's unless WE start doing something about it. Therefore, time is now. The country needs independent, accurate testing of America's drinking water for a clear picture of the country's most important natural resource.
Here's why. Trump's first EPA chief, Scott Pruitt, resigned under a mountain of corruption scandals. At Trump's urging, and before he forced to resign, Pruitt tasked with rolling back regulations that protect our water supplies, such as the Obama-era Clean Water Act (also known as the "Waters of the United States") and the Stream Protection Rule, which prevented coal companies from dumping hazardous waste into streams and rivers.
For example, in tests conducted in late 2017, one in three coal-fired power plants nationwide detected "statistically significant" amounts of contaminants — including toxic carcinogens like arsenic and radium — in the groundwater around these facilities.
And they're not done with their dirty work. The Trump administration is rewriting dozens of rules that govern pollution from oil and gas operations and coal ash dumps, moves that designed to protect our water. At a time when America's water supply is so crucial for current and future generations, our waterways are attacked by the EPA … not protected by it. And that's not hyperbole.
Clean drinking water isn't a luxury. Therefore it's a necessary part to a happy and healthy life. It's all about the development of our brains, tissues and organs. More importantly, the lifeblood of humankind. After all, the adult human body is made up of 60% water (infants are as high as 75%).
The water crisis that plagued Flint, Michigan, therefore was a punch to the gut of parents everywhere. As a result, it was heartbreaking. Heartbreaking to watch the residents of Flint helplessly trying to get their kids clean drinking water. Furthermore and then coping with the health fallout.
An EPA led by a corrupt administrator has turned its back on responsible environmental oversight. Irresponsible and unethical coal mines, chemical companies and petroleum plants are dumping lead, mercury, PFOAs, dioxins and other contaminants into our drinking water, quietly poisoning Americans. Cancer, malignant tumors, birth defects, and stunted brain development have all been linked to these carcinogens.
What can Americans do about it?
The nation needs independent testing for America's drinking water, to ensure it's safe for human consumption. Once WaterWatch USA is fully funded, the organization will start sending out water test kits to households around the country, especially in high-risk areas like downstream from coal and petroleum plants, chemical factories, nuclear storage sites and power plants.
The organization will then send those water samples to independent third-party labs to test for harmful contaminants. Eventually, WaterWatch will input water data from across the United States into an online database to give Americans a clear picture of the status of their drinking water. And the group will keep testing it to hold Trump's administration accountable for their irresponsible environmental practices.
In conclusion, Americans have a right to know what's in their drinking water. So Water Watch USA will be the watchdog group that Americans need. They are therefore advocates for clean drinking water for all. So please help our cause. We're fighting for you and a cleaner, safer America. Let's make the nation's drinking water safe for this generation and future generations.

Q: Android - Getting OutOfMemory while filling ScrollView I'm writing a "very-long-scroll" game. The game's main element is ScrollView, which I filling with "blocks".
One "block" looks like this:

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical">
    <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/sec3"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        android:background="@drawable/_40" />
</LinearLayout>

The Image's (.jpg, 720x6000) size is 800-900kb.
I'm filling my ScrollView with following code (for one type of images):

    View block_3 = inflater.inflate(R.layout.block_3, null);

    for (int i = 0; i != Blocks.block_20; i++) { //Filling the LinearLayout in ListView with 20 blocks
        LinLayout_in_ScrollView.addView(block_3, layout_params);
    }

But my app crashes with OutOfMemory error. I've tried to use the ListView instead of ScrollView, but I failed. I thought about dynamical loading items in ScrollView, but it will be very hard to do. So how I can avoid the OutOfMemoryException?
P.S. Excuse for my English, please.

A: Out of Memory Exception is one of the most common and the most trickiest to handle when dealing with images. You might want to take a look at this: http://developer.android.com/training/displaying-bitmaps/load-bitmap.html#load-bitmap and
http://developer.android.com/training/displaying-bitmaps/index.html.
The tutorials teach how to load bitmaps/images efficiently and there are some samples as well.
You might want to see this as well: Out of Memory Exception while scroll Listview?

A: The approach that you're taking has the potential to introduce other problems as well as OOM exceptions.
I would strongly suggest you take a look at the JetBoy example provided in the Android SDK.
As a start, you probably want to look at using a SurfaceView instead of a ScrollView

A: The problem here is that all the images need to fit into memory at the same time. It's easy to believe that the images only use as much memory as the jpg files do, but they are decoded when loaded into memory and will probably use around 4 MiB of memory each in your case (if my quick calculations are correct).
I would recommend you to not use a ScrollView. Either draw your graphics using a Canvas or using OpenGL. It's very likely that you will need to use OpenGL to get good performance in a real-time side-scroller game (even if it's "only" 2D). If you need a lot of images, then you'll have to be very careful about not loading too many into memory at once (without freeing the memory for other images first). It can be useful to do the image handling and rendering in native code in some cases using JNI and the Android NDK, because it's sometimes hard to get good real-time performance in Java on Android without garbage collection freezes and similar when loading many images.
OpenGL takes some work to learn (if you don't know it), but I would recommend you to look into it. Have a look here for an overview about OpenGL ES on Android. It will enable you to get great performance on a wide range of devices. It's very much worth the effort to learn it in my opinion.

This past weekend I had the pleasure of being a part of a very special, one year anniversary celebration of a Christian, LGBTQ, fellowship group in Philadelphia, PA. This group is named F.U.E.L.
A little over a year ago the host of this group, Leon King (a friend of mine) contacted me with much fear and trepidation. He wanted to discuss this idea of opening his home as a safe place for his fellow Christian LGBT friends who were being excluded from their own faith congregations to meet for fellowship and to study together. We talked about what that might look like. I encouraged him. And then I drove up to Philadelphia to help him kick off their first event.
A full year has gone by now. And this past weekend this group celebrated their first anniversary. It was a beautiful time together. During the event we took a moment to go around the room and shared what this group and what 2016 meant for each of us. I listened to the stories of those in the room, as they recounted their past year and the role F.U.E.L. had played in each of their lives. I was overwhelmed. There are three faces before my mind when I write this. It is not overdramatic nor an exaggeration to state that without F.U.E.L. there is a high probability someone in the group would not have choose to keep hanging on. They wouldn't be here this year without the love, support, and safety this small community of fellowship and love has given to them.
I led out in the study/discussion on Luke 4.18-19, a passage that is taking on more and more meaning for me with each passing day. We spoke of the relevance of this passage to this group, specifically what it means to break societal rules, laws and social norms to be a community who cares for people being injured by such. We contrasted religious piety with compassion. Then as we looked ahead to 2017, we talked about what F.U.E.L. can become in their own area to continue being a safe space for those presently vulnerable within our current social/political climate. I feel very honored to have been given the opportunity to participate along side of this group this past weekend.
Thank you Leon, for pioneering this group and providing a location for it to meet. What you're doing matters. Following Jesus cannot be done alone by any of us. His societal changes for the outcast and margins of our world are not sustainable unless we engage those changes together. We are connected. We are each other's fate.
We at Renewed Heart Ministries are cheering all of you on!


RJ Parker is the best-selling author of several true crime books including The Basement, Abducted, Parents Who Killed Their Children, and Serial Killers Encyclopedia.
This book is extremely biased and snide. The author inserts his own views on Kathleen Petersons death and takes them for fact. he talks about alternative theories and suspects as if they are a joke and takes seriously people on Reddit, who obviously know all. If you believe 100% that Michael Peterson killed Kathleen then this book is for you. If you're someone looking for the facts and an unbiased account of what happened, keep looking. And the narration is horrible. The guy is so monotone and dull.

CONVERSATIONS IN EDUCATION: Bestseller searches secrets of geniuses
By Dr Joe Giampalmi |
PUBLISHED: August 18, 2016 at 10:00 p.m. | UPDATED: August 20, 2021 at 3:46 a.m.
Arguing that genius "fluctuates over time and place," bestselling author Eric Weiner surveyed the world's sacred locations of creativity and analyzed what each offered to the development of genius. "Geography of Genius" (Simon Schuster Paperbacks, 2016) provides a travelogue of the contributions of geniuses through Athens (Greece), Hangzhou (China), Florence (Italy), Edinburgh (Scotland), Calcutta (India), Vienna (Austria) and finally Silicone Valley.
In addition to identifying the contributions of each culture and the lifestyle that contributed to it, Weiner intersperses characteristics of geniuses such as hard work and productivity. "Maybe all that separates us from them [geniuses] is hard work." He explains that Edison held more than a thousand patents, Picasso produced 20,000 works of art, Bach composed an average of 20 pages a day and Freud produced more than 330 publications. At the most basic level, "creativity requires showing up at the desk, or the piano, even when you don't feel like it."
While producing prolifically, geniuses learn from failures and false starts. Leonardo da Vinci and Mozart frequently started a creative piece without completing it. Weiner explains failure as "one of the most misunderstood aspects of genius" Geniuses learn from failure when they "remember exactly where and how they failed" and are better recalling and learning from the exact "location" for the purpose of revising. He calls this experience "successful failures." Weiner adds that childhood advice to "forget it and move on" should be revised to "remember it and move on." He warns "some people are devastated by rejection while others are motivated by it."
Weiner references a Johns Hopkins study that found "independently minded" innovators are motivated by rejection while others are "devastated." Geniuses also practice what Weiner references as the "Zeigarnik effect," ability to recall information from incomplete tasks easier than other types of information. Geniuses are obsessed with solving unsolved problems.
Geniuses are identified as excellent observers. The author explains that great discoveries began with observation and that geniuses "see something different." He says that geniuses "make the familiar strange." "Most of us look. The genius sees." Einstein wasn't a "know it all"; he was a "see it all." Weiner cites German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer, who said, "Talent hits a target no one else can hit; geniuses hit a target no one else can see." In addition to observing, "questions are the building blocks of genius." I once had a graduate school adviser who said before we get the right answer, we must ask the right question.
Additional characteristics of geniuses include:
* Experiencing synesthesia, crossed "wiring" sensory perception such as hearing colors and smelling sounds
* Knowing what to overlook when working on a project
* Successfully performing creative thinking while experiencing noise levels of 70 decibels rather than complete silence
* Periodically retreating from social events
* Capitalizing on motion such as walking or riding to trigger creating thoughts.
The most significant contributors toward creative thinking were them Greeks whom we can thank for innovations that include democracy, philosophy, written contracts, silver and bronze coins, writing, schools and taxes.
What is Weiner's application to schools today? Schools need to provide the climate to develop innovation: stimuli-producing settings, clusters of genius populations, genius mentors and observation opportunities.
Weiner's application to all students is the need to work hard and produce prolifically. For example, they need to create 20 pieces of writing before creating the one that the teacher identifies as a classroom model. Students need to reflect on their creative process and identify where it's unsuccessful.
And what did America contribute? Silicone Valley provides optimism, Weiner says, "a perquisite for genius." He explains that at many locations across America, a new idea is met with reasons why it won't work. At Silicone Valley, innovators are met with "Why don't you do it? What are you waiting for?"

Ring Thing, The Review
May 29th, 2008 10:33pm
Reviewed by Gordon Meyer
My first tip about this product is that you should be careful not to confuse it with another of the same name. If you're ordering via the mail, make sure your dealer is aware of this unfortunately similarity too.
This "The Ring Thing" is an 11 minute DVD, most of which is bonus material. The trick itself is clever and simple. But its so lightweight that if the disc weren't padded with extras, it would be shorter than a commercial break on VH1. Most of these extras can be summed up as "you can perform many effects in Bobo's Modern Coin Magic using a ring, instead of a coin." Thanks for the news flash.
Don't get me wrong, the trick that Tank teaches is interesting, but it's a throwaway, and I think would have been better suited for a magazine article instead of a $25 DVD. You can perform it with most, but not all, rings. (The word to describe a suitable ring, which Tank was grasping for in the video, is "symmetrical," by the way.) So, in conclusion, this The Ring Thing is not junk, but it's certainly no bargain either.

In the first episode, Spin examines dinosaurs such as Hadrosaurs, Struthiomimus, Tyrannosaurus rex, and Dromaeosaurs, and tries to answer the many questions surrounding them, including how they became extinct, and if relatives still exist today such as alligators, snakes, Komodo dragons, lizards, ostriches, cassowarys, and other birds. The songs in this episode focus on dinosaurs (The Dinosaur Rap), and how their modern-day relatives still "rock our world" (We're Gonna Rock Your World). This episode is the first and only episode to not feature Alan O'Day or Janis Liebhart singing the songs. It's also the last episode where a guest singer was brought in. In the second episode, Spin looks at some of the world's creepiest creatures such as vampire bats, ants, flies, spiders, vultures, and dung beetles. This shows that no matter how scary they are, they all play an important part in the world. The first song is about how even though the creatures are creepy, there's something intriguing about them (Creepy Creatures; with animation by Jim & Vezna Tozzi), and the second song is about how important all of them are (Keep on Creeping On).

Abstract: This paper proposes two maintenance schemes for reused products. In order to reduce the purchasing cost or conform to the concept of environmental protection, reuse is considered as one of the most efficient strategies. However, the initial quality of reused product is often inferior to the new one and then product failures will occur frequently during usage period. Therefore, two periodical preventive maintenance (PM) policies in this paper are developed to decrease the high failure rate of the second-hand products. When a second-hand product with Weibull life time distribution of known age is intended to be used for a pre-specified period of time, the optimal number of PM actions and the corresponding maintenance degree are derived such that the expected total maintenance cost is minimized. The impact of providing preventive maintenance is illustrated through numerical examples.

From Magic Dragon to Menacing Bully
By Michael Stutchbury
AUSTRALIA'S magic dragon does more than puff. Canberra's China crisis is a rude geopolitical shock to the shining economic hope that Australia can decouple from the global crisis.
The brilliant economic relationship has grown too big for its political and institutional supports. Beyond resolving the immediate crisis surrounding the arrest of Rio Tinto executive Stern Hu, building these supports must become a national priority for Australia.
For the past year, the Australian debate has been about whether it is in the national interest to allow Chinese customers to buy ownership stakes in our mining sector. Australia is savings poor; China is capital rich. But, rather than acting commercially, China's state-owned enterprises might do the bidding of the Chinese state and exploit access to the pricing and marketing plans for Australia's iron ore treasures.
Humiliated by rejection, Chinese state security has locked up one of Australia's top iron ore negotiators in its cells for the alleged theft of state secrets and taken possession of the computer hard drives from Rio Tinto's Shanghai offices. And it has refused to indulge in reasonable dialogue with the Rudd government over the matter. Talk about many ways to skin a cat!
Yet Hu's unexplained jailing is a prisoner's dilemma on an international scale. The mutual gains from trade are enormous given the productivity to be unlocked from moving hundreds of millions of Chinese peasants into factory work. China's one-party political leadership needs the momentum of the world's greatest industrial revolution to withstand the collapse of American export demand and ethnic unrest in its outer Xinjiang province. Put under pressure, however, the Chinese state has again reverted to heavy-handed form, whether through its super-effective fiscal stimulus, its crackdown in Urumqi or the apparent slapdown of its dishonourable resource suppliers. In the process, Beijing has weakened the Australian voices who have argued that engagement is the best way to encourage the dragon into the legal, commercial and diplomatic norms of market-based economies. In short, both sides have acted against their mutual self-interest or, at best, neglected it.
Remember that only a decade ago China was a second-level export market for Australia. In 1997-98, China bought only 4 per cent of Australia's merchandise exports, one-third of what we sold to the European Union and less than half what the US bought from us. But China's global merchandise exports have almost quadrupled and its imports more than tripled since it formally joined the world trade system in 2001. It has become the world's second largest exporter (primarily manufactured goods) and the third largest importer (mostly of raw materials). And the huge foreign exchange reserves generated by the world's biggest trade surplus were siphoned back into US Treasury bonds, in turn financing what turned into the US subprime housing bubble that produced the global recession.
Along the way, China quickly became the world's biggest consumer of key raw materials such as iron ore, coal and copper. By 2007-08, China became Australia's second biggest merchandise customer behind Japan. Australian merchandise sales to China expanded more than five-fold in real terms to more than $27 billion, or 15 per cent of our overall merchandise exports. By 2007-08, China was buying 26 per cent of Australia's mineral exports, up from 5 per cent a decade earlier.
By the time the Rudd government came to office in late 2007, China was looking to invest its foreign surplus in its long-term resource security. Australia has the world's most efficient mining industry and huge reserves of iron ore, coal, copper, uranium and so on. From a very low base, so began the new era of Chinese outward-bound direct investment in Australia.
The Chinese urgency was fuelled by the supply bottlenecks that forced them to accept the stunning 85 per cent increase in iron ore contract prices from April last year. Emboldened by the China boom, BHP Billiton made its audacious takeover bid for Rio, which in response paid too much for Canadian aluminium producer Alcan. The Wall Street crisis turned into the global financial crisis, prompting BHP to drop its Rio bid. State-owned Chinese aluminium company Chinalco offered to rescue debt-burdened Rio by doubling its 9per cent stake in the Anglo-Australian miner.
But the Rudd government was lukewarm to Chinese investment, the opposition was opposed and other big Rio investors were agitated over being excluded from the deal. Canberra's foreign investment approval system again showed itself to be opaque and subject to political veto. Rio dumped its Chinalco deal in favour of combining its Pilbara iron ore operations with BHP, the worst possible outcome for the spurned Chinese. And, after Japan folded early, Rio and BHP are holding to demands to keep this year's iron ore contract price cuts to 33 per cent. The Chinese have been left humiliated, isolated and incensed.
Yet, at the end of all this, China is actually buying more Australian iron ore and coal than before the global financial crisis hit, this time to produce steel for infrastructure, transport and housing rather than exports. Beijing's authoritarian control has delivered the world's most effective fiscal stimulus. Rio Tinto says it is "flat out" shipping out the ore. It's the main reason Australia has been spared the worst of the global recession, avoiding a sharp contraction in consumer spending and housing prices. And the assessment that China's development path has decades to run is central to the federal Treasury and Reserve Bank optimism over Australia's medium-term growth prospects.
But the present China crisis demonstrates that this economic opportunity needs political reinforcement. Both sides need to be able to show they individually benefit from the relationship, just as Australia profited by feeding Japan's 1960s industrialisation. Both sides need confidence that the other will behave according to agreed norms. But Japan is a democratic member of the broad Western alliance, not an authoritarian strategic challenger to the West.
Kevin Rudd has rightly encouraged the rest of the world to give China a bigger role in global economic governance. But we clearly need to invest more in supporting our own China relationship.

100 Hooks and Rumours to Hear in or About Magnimar
Adrian Kennelly
This supplement has 100 rumours that characters could hear related to Magnimar, both within and without the city. Whether or not any particular rumour is true is up to the GameMaster. They could range from deliberate misinformation being spread to cause trouble to evidence of conspiracies and dangers. The rumours can be heard when asking for around for information and can be used as background colour or potential adventure hooks.
This PDF supports Adobe layers and the page backgrounds and images can be disabled to make printing easier.
Here are some sample results:
Red Kestrel Imports trades between six different nations and has several ships in its fleet. The ships transport a wide variety of goods, and it's rumoured that sometimes the precise manner of the goods being shipped is not delved into too deeply, nor questions asked as to why shippers might wish cargoes dropping off outside official destinations.
Remeka Abantiir, the owner and madame of Magnimar's most exclusive brother, the House of Welcome, has reputedly been hiring people to carry out strange tasks for her. It's said that she's been trying to dig up evidence of a conspiracy acting against her and has been paying spies to infiltrate the households of the wealthiest and most powerful people in the city.
Remeria Callinova, the head of the Varisian Council, has been attempting to convince the Shoanti to cooperate and respect the city folk, and the city folk that forcing the Shoanti out of Magnimar may not be in the city's best interests. Rumour is that she's getting annoyed with the intransigency of both sides, and is going to take more drastic steps.
Small rockfalls frequently tumble from the face of the Seacleft and land in Lowcleft, and it's rumoured that the number of these rockfalls has been steadily increasing over time. Some are worried that the Seacleft might perhaps be becoming unstable and in need of repair, or much of the cliff might tumble into Lowcleft.
Some of the archers who frequent Deadeye Lodge volunteer to help keep the streets of Keystone safe, though they often clash with the mercenaries who attempt to do the same for Calistria's church, objecting to the means used. It's rumoured that the clashes are getting more intense, as the archers are treating the mercenaries as being no different from other criminals.
One page is the front cover, one the front matter and half is ads.
This is essential if you're running any adventure path, campaign, module or story in Magnimar! Simple, effective and FULL of content! Now... do we get 1000 hooks for Absalom? [...]

Farmer Street is a contemporary interpretation of Richmond's varied context created in collaboration with MAArchitects. Consisting of 9 townhouses and studios, the project has been designed as 2 parts: 5 north facing townhouses with street access from Farmer Street and 4 hybrid lofts accessed from the lane at the rear.
Lots has happened behind the scenes since we last reported progress on our Swan Street apartments – this is just a snippet of what's happening, beautifully framed by Melbourne local Dan Hocking.
Over the past few months Minicon Construction have excavated layer upon layer of tough Richmond basalt and the foundations are now in place. Works are progressing at a rapid rate as we are coming out of the ground and making headway. With MAArchitects keeping a close watch over progress the building will really start to take shape in the new year.
